THE FORUM 21 X 'Il l . -0 'YU ,. W WCW X22 l .451 Wal' ill r ' 4 - .fwvy if K ,mf X., K P I-1 r , V -vs, .QTY Charles West, Editor ITH this issue of the Forum Q W are finished the efforts of the 5, ,V Exchange editor, but ,with B' L the natural feeling of glad- ness and relief which is ex- perienced at this particular time of the year comes a sigh of regret -regret that our pleasant task is over. For indeed it has been a great pleasure for us to read and criticize the papers that have come before us and receive in return such advice and compli- ments as they have bestowed upon us in the Exchanges Great benefit has been derived from the use of this column, for in this way we were able to profit by the suggestions given by other papers to aid our correcting mistakes and overcoming ditiiculties which they themselves had at some time before experienced. We in turn have sought to render a fair and just opinion of all the papers that we have re- ceived and to help them and offer sug- gestions when it was in our power to do SO. We wish to thank our exchanges for the favors we have received and also for the many papers that have been sent to us this year. We also congratulate the edi- tors of these for their excellent produc- tions and wish them success and prosper- ity in the future. In conclusion, students, let us urge you to support The Forum faithfully and give whatever aid you can to those directly connected with it so that they can produce such a paper that you can with pride point to the fact that The Forum repre- sents your school, The Mt. Vernon High School. We acknowledge with thanks the re- ceipt of the following: Advance, Hiram, O., Budget, Lawrence, O., Comus, Zanesville, O., Courier f2j,
