Q ....'l'.aum--- iixrhangez Clinton's MAGPIE.- Three and a half pages of editorials left us groggy, but we were reconciled by a truly rhapsodic Rhapsodie vv1hich is some of the best poetry we have seen in a hilgih school magazine. Fog also is entitled to a goodly share of praise. Next, your story, The Eagletf' We are going to be a cat about then Eaglet. Although I am of Cat leastj average intelli- gence, which perhaps some of my dear friends doubt, I do not yet know, after a diligent re-reading, exactly what happened, nor why. And that fetching dramatic style! But never mind, Mr. Kosofskyg we newer won a short story prize, and so, as stated above, we are beting a cat. However-did I read aright - to broadcast his political doctrines -in 183-! We appreciated the so atmospheric French phrases. Here lies the fame of Milton K., His heart the critics broke. He tried to write a story short, But it was too long, or something. 105

THE ARGUS Mosetta White,' that girl of thqey myriad aceomplis!hme,nts and wonderful height, is the secretary of her class at Barnard. Poor Carolyn! I had pumped and pumped and pumped! Out of the kindness of my heart, and in consideration of the above valuable information, I gave her a Luden's Cadv't.J Cough Drop. wk :sf 4: wk 4 Nmelie Spiegel, erstwhile G. O. vice-president, paid a call on Hunter's Hall-the third floor corridor, to be exact-one day. We rushed iirotebook and pencil in ih'and, and assailed her with questilolns. After a few perfunctory remarks about the ubiquity of reporters, she spake thusly: Gertrude Ackerman, who presidented the G. O., is now presidenting the upper freshmen at Hunter. And looking back at her past record here, we can only say that hers is a lucky class. Beatrice Freeman is editor of The Wistarian. Ethel Harris, once senior president, whose foul shots were the envy of us all, is at T. C. Then along came little Edith Esbach, valiant forward of the Varsity Team, and told us that Amelie is a Students Council rep, and also on the advertising staff of The Wistarian. After which we passed the Smith Bros. -Qadv'tj Cough Driops. as wk as -of 4: It is whlispered tlhlat there is a movement afoot for the suppression of the absorption in chapel of Grace Levinson's lunch by Grace Liefvinson. Is it morally right for her thus to taunt the good, lunchless ones? as- :sf an we wk We came across Helaine Newstead calmly contemplating the very pink likeness lof lhlerself which some inartistic enthu- siast had culled from the very 'pink pages of a very pink jour- nal, and impaled on tihle bulletin board, on the third floor off Hunter College High School. When we discovered Helaine, she was improving the, arch of her pictured eyebrow with a fountain pen, and obliterating thfe! vwords, Oh is she, tHoug'hS? which some unkind person had inserted after a killing phrase which proclaimed her an accomplished linguist. Sic transit! 104

THE ARGUS We cannot say too much in praise of the Packer Current Items. It is a small magazine, but every bit of writing is excellent, andl-olhl oak among the saplings! Qwfe wax poeticj -written in a natural and mature style. After perusing many high school publications We find that the most general defect is the childish style in which articles ane written, or else a humorous swing to the other extreme. Clever, isn't it? Richmond Hill calls its magazine the Dome -the dome of thought, the palace of the mind--and its paper the Domino, We liked William J. Riley's baseball story, and understood every word. You see we once saw a baseball game. It was at the Yankee Stadium. The Yanks were, playing Cincinnati and we wion by a nose in the Tenth inning. Oh yes, we even know who Casey Stengel and Zack Wheat are. You can't fool us. Now we hate to be rude, but and the Colonial Bedstead and William B. McClellan intended to be synonymous? Careful, Dome! All honor 'to your golf team, twice city champions. We can hold a golf club very scientifically, but we can't swing it. Clever story, Miss Macnelady. You have the happy faculty of making people smile wth you. And we like your work, W. I. R., your style is charming, but don't let it get too set. We will close this review with an appreciation of your attractive cover. Thank you, and 'comlel again. Wad1eigh's OWL.- Good cuts, and very clever knocks. What we like about the Owl is the profuseness and variety of its material. Lots of it is good, and lots of it is not so good, but one feels that everyone has contributed and that thus the Owl is an expres- sion of the true Wadleigh, as it shrould be. Our own Argus might follow this- example. .at Q35 'Qi W5 Q. 9. Q60 il fl 106
