THE SCREECH OWL 27 ' The Racquet.” Portland High, Portland, Me. Your Poets Page” is very good. You seem to have some rising Long- fellows. We like your paper. The Voice.” Concord High, Concord, Mass. Your athletics are well written. Why not enlarge your paper? Index.” South High, Worcester. The Story Department is very in- teresting. Athletics need a separate department. The Little Red Schoolhouse.” Athol High. The Editorial on Jack and Bud was very good. Why not enlarge your Literary Department and have a suit- able heading for it? The Central Digest.” Central High. Your paper is always very interest- ing to us. The letters to Santa Claus were very humorous. The Hebronite.” Hebron College Academy, Hebron, Nebraska. A very good newspaper. Short stories would help improve it. Hit and Miss.” Beverly, Mass. We hope with your new press, you can put out a large issue of your Hit and Miss.” Why not add a list of your exchanges ? Golden Rod.” Quincy High School, Quincy, Mass. Your paper certainly should be complimented. You may not think a great deal of the success of your football team, but we think a great deal of your paper. The Megaphone.” Dean Academy. The Megaphone” has the distinc- tion of being one of the best maga- zines we have yet received. A very well organized magazine in which each department is complete. As Others See Us The Megaphone.” Your magazine, though small we find interesting. Your Alumni Notes were cleverly written. May we sug- gest that you enlarge your depart- ments and a few cuts would liven up your book. Students Review.” A very snappy book. We enjoy it immensely. Echoes From Our Exchanges I never saw such eyes as thine And if you’ll butcher hand in mine, And liver around me every day. We’ll meat life’s frown with life’s caress And clearer road to happiness. To a Friend He whom I call a friend of mine. He whose virtues are good and fine. He who forgives each wrong I do. He whose friendship I’ve found to be true. He is a friend who’ll forgive and forget. He is a friend whom I’ll never regret. One who in trouble will come half- way. One about whom I can truthfully say : He is a friend whom I’m glad to know; Ours was a friendship bound to grow ; I give him a tribute, though only a line; I’m proud to call him a friend of mine.

Comments ‘The Red and Black.” Newport, R. I. A very well balanced book. You have an original idea in “Ye Oracle”. The department illustrations are ex- ceptionally well done. “The Academy Student.” St. Johnsbury, Vermont. You have some good poets, but may we not hear from some prose writers in your literary department soon? The cover design is splendid. “The Hi-Talk.” Sherman, Texas. The best planned newspaper weVe seen. You have the great ability of placing a deal of material in a small space. Hope to hear from you again. ‘The Record.” English High School. We admire your department head- ings. Your cartoonists are to be com- plimented especially. Come again. “The Central Digest.” Central High School, Chattanooga, Tenn. Your Freshman Feature was very successful. “Rough Writer.” Roosevelt High. Your school boosts your sports very well. Why not have them boost your paper as well and make it larger and better. “Students Review.” Northampton. Your cover desi is especially at- tractive. We think drawings or sketches for department headings, would make the paper more attrac- tive. You also have a fine joke de- partment. “Port Light.” Phineas Banning High, Wilming- ton, Calif. Your Editorial Department is very good. We would suggest more de- partments, especially exchanges. “The Owl.” Middletown High, Middletown, New York. A very attractive cover. Your joke department is praiseworthy. Why not make your exchanges longer? More schools would like to have such a fine paper.

THE SCREECH OWL 28 Mother: “John, there were three pieces of cake in the pantry and now there is only one. How did that happen ?” John: “Well, it was so dark in there I didn’t see the other piece.” “Strapping young fellows, aren’t they?” “What for?” She: Are you serious? He : No, Armenian. You never can tell what a baby, a freshman, or a jury will do. “Red and Black.” Foolish Sayings A bird on the plate is worth two on the bonnet. As ye sew, so shall ye rip. People who live in glass houses should dress in the dark. Laugh in one’s sleeve — a direct route to the funny bone. Aim at a chorus girl and you may hit a star. A kiss is a noun. Seldom declined. It is more common than proper. Not very singular ; used most in the plural. It agrees with you and me. “Hi-Talk.”
