15 OAK, LILY AND IVY. Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursehs as others see us ! It wad frae monie a blunder free us, And foolish notion. —Robert Burns. It is in this capacity that the Exchange column finds its usefulness and can do its little part. To offer helpful suggestions and friendly criticisms to other papers may open up to them new and unthought of possibilities of improvement while the criticisims received by the home paper give a corresponding benefit. Although the Exchange column sometimes makes mistakes, still there is no ques¬ tion but that its opinions are of value. The Oak Lily and Ivy wishes to acknowledge the May issue of The Journal Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, Mass, and the June issue of the Cue, Albany, N. Y. and the Bostonia, Boston Mass. We also wish to acknowledge the following Commencement numbers: The High School Aegis, Beverly, Mass. The Argonaut, Mansfield, Mass. The Searchlight, Walpole, Mass. 1 he Gazette, Lynn, Mass. The September number of The High School Herald, Westfield, Mass., has also been received. We wish to compliment yov on your promptness in issuing your paper. Your literary department is very complete, while your Alumni column is written in an unusually novel and interesting way.

Paquet, “Well, I’m trying hard to get ahead.” His father, “Yes, you’d better, that’s just what you need.” A Frozen Conversation: Of all the cold days I’ve ever experienced, this day was the coldest. I was up in Montreal talking to a friend of mine before one of the largest hotels of the city. As we spoke our words froze just as soon as they left our mouths. To know what we were talking about we had to pick up the conversation, take it inside and thaw it out. Miss Hunter (seriously), “What do you really think about kissing?” Shea, “Great idea” (smack). Miss Ryan, “Bruce, do you admire Portia?” Bruce, “Don’t know, never saw her. Miss Fitzpatrick, “Come now, Carr, if you’re not going to recite, pay atten¬ tion while the other girls recite. How Morelli writes out his exsuse: “You will please excuse my son, Joe, from being absent yesterday, be¬ cause my father went to Boston. L. Vesperi, “How many hairs has a monkey on his face? Nelson, Do’no, how many? L. Vesperi, Well the next time you shave count them.” (Voice), Quick Nero, the axe.” Teacher, Why do you spend all your time in a pool-room Jimmie?” Dalton, To learn English.” Zurlo, Wait a minute fellows, we’ll all go to school together, one by one.”
