12 THE MUNHISKO job. It contains more advertisements than any paper I have seen. Judging from the well written stories there are a number of budding authors attending your school. As for athletics, Braddock needs never to want publicity as long as the lively athletic reporter is on the staff. The next paper that was ever faithful to the exchanges was the Durham Hi Rocket. What a fine paper it is! While reading it I often thought with envy of the lovely poetry contributed to every issue. Station J-O-K-E never broadcasted the same joke twice. Evidently the students down there are always on hand with some clever witticism and the editor of the wit column must be alert to get these jokes for his part of the paper. I must tell you about a paper we get from McKeesport. What a lot of time and effort must have been put forth by the staff in order to produce it. This Red and Blue never omitted the most minute scrap of news for fear of detracting from the paper. The cartoonist is indeed clever, and the literary and editorial columns are excellently taken care of by the students. Greensburg Hi is always busy gathering news for its paper, the Brown and White. I always welcomed its arrivel for each time I read it I learned something new about the teachers or the pupils and their activities. Every department was represented. The Arrow from Midland is a late arrival but we welcome it to our column. I am only sorry that I cannot remain next year to receive it. The stories are very clever and the students have contributed enough news to make each department interesting. Oh. dear exchanges, I know you are wringing your hands for fear that I will forget to tell you about the Clairtonian. Cease your worrying. I was just trying to find a way to word my comments. The Klever Kut Kolumn is a dandy. Many a time when I was blue I just turned to this column and my blues were dispelled. The few stories which appeared were good. too. Here is another message, just came in by radio. Oh yes, it is from station H-H-S. No doubt you have all heard of Homestead Hi’s Broadcaster. 'Phis paper is famous for its Running Sap column. For a time I thought this sap was rather low for it was not so newsy. I'rom this column I learned that Homestead has a good baseball team. Keep it up Homestead. See, I become so excited I forgot to say the editorials of this paper are always good. My work has been sadly neglected for a while but I will try to make it up. The last time I heard from the Gleenan Echo seems like an age. It was such a well written paper. I knew just what was to take place next. I know they had a very good operetta there. This paper, the Mountain Echo, has just been clamoring for a comment or a criticism. I find very few faults with my exchange friends and this paper though not absolutely flawless, is very fine. One time when I was nearly frantic for a way to write up my exchanges 1 got an old issue of the Mountain Echo and found how to write poetic exchange comments. Thank you. The Kentonian represents New Kensington Hi. What there was in the paper was very interesting but there wasn’t enough of it. i am sure that some person in the school could write a story or a poem and help the progress of the paper. Most of the space was given over to advertising. » Now this paper, the Exhaust from Jacksonville, Illinois, is a very much smaller paper than the Kentonian, but it just about bubbles over with news. The last time I heard from them I read an interesting story, A Romance by Radio. The personal column and the editorials always gave me some inkling as to the activities of the school. 1, a senior in high school, always hesitate about making comments on the Pitt Weekly, but I am brave enough to say that I liked to read about the fraternities and the contest for basketball which they held. The athletic page attracted me greatly. It seemed as though I were one of the spectators, so realistically and vividly was each article written. I also found through reading this paper that Miss Mildred Guiney, the president of the Pitt Panhellenic Society, and a graduate from Munhall, led the grand march at their annual ball. The Travalon, too, is one of the faithful survivals of the exchange list. The circulation manager never fails to get it out on time and did you notice how well the themes were written. The Voice of South Hi is just as strong as ever. Oh, how well it voices South Hi’s activities. The stories are—well, I almost devour them, so interesting are they. I just knew I would forget somebody. I almost did forget the Wilkinsburg Review. That would be a most unpardonable sin, for it is so good that each month I anxiously await its arrival. Since I have been exchange editor I know Wilkinsburg has a wonderful band and that very clever and witty people are always willing to help the Review. Oh, if you only knew how I hate to leave you, my dear exchanges, but I must go out into the world and make a name for myself, but I will come back to dear old Munhall High School and read my papers. With many regrets I leave you to the care of some other exchange editor. I wish each and every one of you a heap of luck in next year’s work. I hope the editor next year finds this as pleasant a task as I did. Farewell. Your Friend. Exchange of the Munhisko, Ruthe Gribble.

T H E MUNHISKO 11 was one of the large drawing room in the White House. In one corner I could see a group of girls who looked strangely •familiar. Still I didn't recognize them. The funny old man took the picture and told me who they were. “This,” he said, “is Katherine Kramer. She designs the dresses of Mrs. Taylor. The girl next to her is Eleanore Elliot who assists Katherine. On the left side of Eleanore stand Jean Wilson and Elsie M. Stevens. Elsie Mae is a companion to Mrs. Taylor while Jean is the honored guest at a large affair that was given.” I took up the last picture. It was one of a large millinery store. Two girls were standing in front of it. Written in large letters on the window I could distinguish the names of Miller and Clegg. “Those young ladies are representatives of a large Parisian hat linn,” said the creature. “Don’t you know anything of Margie Robertson ?” “Surely. Margie is the physical instructress at a college in Wisconsin. Her brother George, and Dorothy Jones are to be married you know. I saw Jane Brown while I was visiting in New York. She is the private secretary of John Wanamaker. She told me Elsie Graves had won a medal for talking five minutes without taking a breath.” “Wasn’t there a boy named Busch in my class?” I asked. “You mean Ed I suppose. He was the young man whose only desire was to become an orator. His ambition has been realized. Mr. De. Busch is the best orator ever produced by America. A friend of his, Ken Brownlee, the fastest typist of the world, is his private secretary.” “What ever became of Wm. Wozniak?” “The last time I heard from Bill he had been elected to the United States Senate and was about to be married. I didn’t learn the name of his wife. David I.anyon was playing for the president when he last wrote to me. David has become a wonderful violinist. Dick Marshall and John James are on the All American Soccer Team. I hope to see them play again this year.” “Have you heard anything of Anna Mar-golis ?” This strange creature closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair and remained motionless for a few minutes. Finally he spoke: “Anna has become one of the best known pianists in the world since Paderewski. Not long ago Thomas Ednie, the greatest of electricians, entertained at his gorgeous summer home in honor of Mine. Margolis. Clara Kniep, a %wonderful dietitian, and a great friend of the Ednie family, prepared a magnificent dinner for the occasion. “Mme. Cooke, the famous voice instructress, was to have been present but she is very busy preparing for a concert to be held by her pupils.” “I used to know a girl named Hilda White-house. Have you heard anything of her recently ?” “No, I haven’t heard any recent word from her, but I know that she is in China doing missionary work. Of course, you know that Ellen Keam is a candidate for the governor of Pennsylvania.” “That’s fine,” I said. “There was a tall, willowy sort of a fellow in my class. It seems to me that his name is Jess.” “Yes, that was Jess Snyder, I think. Jess is a model for Aratex collars.” “Oh, then there was Margaret Kushner and Irene Szepessi. What are they doing?” “Those girls have wonderful abilities. Margaret is a teacher of shorthand at Reno College, and Irene has just secured the position as private secretary to John D. Rockefeller.” “Oh, by the way, it seems that you’ve forgotten to tell me about one of the liveliest wires in the class, haven’t you?” “I suppose you mean that light-haired girl with those pretty teeth who took almost even-subject in the high school.” “Yes, that is the one I mean. What has become of her?” “Well. Ruthe has promised to love, honor, and obey Bob Guiney for the rest of her life.” “I knew that was bound to happen,” I said. I shuddered. The room had suddenly grown cold. I awakened with a start, looked about for my companion and much to my surprise he was not in sight. The fire had gone out. I glanced at my watch to find that it was after midnight, but my dream was a wonderful one. “Sue.” EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT Dear Exchanges:— The time has come when we must say goodbye. For the nine months that we have been in school together I must say we have had many enjoyable hours together. The list of exchange papers was very large this year and many of my friends and school mates had much pleasure reading them. Some of these papers were really excellent. I always enjoyed reading the North Braddock Scholastic. It is such a large paper and there seems to be a department for every activity. It is not merely an upper classmen’s paper, the Freshies and Sophs each contribute to its news. Then, too, the Red and White, a neighbor of the North Braddock Scholastic, is always on the
