30 M. F. H. S. PILOT EXCHANGE The other day when we'uns were experi- mentin' in our laboratory we invented a rocket-ship. Of course coming from such a small town you all must think we don't know nuthin' much but sometimes you never can tell what will come from these towns and for proof of our experiments we took a leetle trip to exchange yearbooks with a few other towns. Chronicler-Paris High School A very good literary department and the paper shows a great deal of work. Eureka- Woodstock High School A very good editorial section, but how about more comments on exchanges. Caduceus-Norway High School This paper shows a great deal of work, but why not a larger exchange section. Solqolgis Warrior-Limington Academy We suggest the senior pictures be put nearer the front. A very good exchange section. I. H. S. Breezes-Iay High School Class news was written up very nicely. The book was very nicely compiled. Crimson Rambler-Standish High School A very nice looking book. An excellent joke section. Cantonia- Canton High School How about a few comments in the ex- change section. A very well arranged book.

After I had Finished visitin' all these towns I headed for our dear old Alma Mater. See- ing as this invention has turned out so well, we had the wonderful idea of giving it to the Government but just as we landed a gust of wind came up and made us slip sideways to a crash. We crawled out of the wreckage and just as we were recovering our senses the wreck started to burn. As the plans were all inside, the miracle-ship is lost. This is a great loss to our country. , 4
