Oak, Lily and Ivy. 13 To the members of the Freshman class and all other new comers, we of the upper classes extend a most cordial welcome. You are entering upon new fields of labor, and your success therein will depend greatly upon your attitude to¬ wards your work, and the persistency and thoroughness with which you master your tasks. We realize it is difficult for you to adapt yourselves to this new routine, but be encouraged, for we and your teachers stand ready, so far as pos¬ sible, to aid you and help you in adjusting yourselves to our rules and our school life. It seems difficult to you, perhaps-this high school course-but to those who faithfully and honestly perform their labors, it is not hard to main¬ tain the required standard. Do your work conscientously, put forth your best energies, and you will master the most difficult problems that may confront you. We have a social as well as a working side to our school and we want you newcomers to be interested in this phase of our school life. Just now, the football team is occupying the attention of the older students, and we trust that the later arrivals will become interested in our team and its doings. If you cannot make the team,” lend your support to the team’s work-by being pres¬ ent at the games and by cheering its victories. In this way you may show your appreciation of the work your fellow students are doing. SCHOOL NOTES. When Milford High opened its doors on September 7, it was to welcome 108 new members to the Freshman class. We ardently hope they will continue their four years’ course, and put it to as good use as we of the upper classes are trying to do. This year we have added to our teaching force Miss Katherine Morrill, a graduate of St. Mary’s in 1912, and of Bay Path in 1913; also Miss Florence Whittemore who was a graduate of Milford High in the class of 1909, and of Boston University in 1915. Owing to the increase in the number of students enrolled it has been nec¬ essary to call the library into use for classes, and to use the former typewriting room as a home room for the freshmen. The freshmen this year occupy rooms 1, 4, 5 and 8. The sophomores are

FROM OUR The exchange column is one of the most interesting in a school paper. Through the medium of this column, we learn what other schools are doing in line of athletics, social affairs, and studies. We enjoy the exchange of confidences, and we want to make others feel the same towards our column. We desire that our column shall not be an Exchange Column for our school papers alone, but also an exchange of ideas and friendship. We want you to criticise our magazine, its editorials and stories, and we promise that we shall fairly and honestly judge all papers submitted to us. In its exchange of ideas, and friend¬ ly criticisms, we hope that our column may be of aid to others, and we trust that we shall gain new ideas from them.
