ACADEMY MONTHLY For the school year which has just ended, the Academy Monthly has been very success- ful from every standpoint. The school paper depends upon the work of the students and not of the teachers or any one else connected with the school.

Each member of the staff felt it his duty to publish a magazine of which his school could well be proud, and judging by the ex- changes received, this c.harge was fulfilled. All the departments were looked after carefully, but some of them deserve special mention. The work of the Literary Editor was ex- cellent.

The Business Manager deserves much credit also for his untiring efforts towards the betterment of the financial part of the paper. It was managed very wisely and at the same time economically.
