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.

14 THE MUNHISKO A BARGAIN SALE Down at Kaufmann’s, The Big Store , Between Fourth and Fifth Avenues, Was a wonderful sale—“900’ pairs Of misses and women’s shoes. No reason now to he shoeless, The mind of the male invents, When shoes can he had in all sizes and styles. For only ninety-five cents ! Ninety-five cents! cries the female: “I'm needing a new pair of shoes, And such an offer as this ’Twould he a sin to refuse”. The next train into the city Took the female, all primed for the sale. She pictured the joy of a pair of new shoes As she sped o’er the glittering rail. What a vision the male had experienced! For much to the female’s dismay. After wandering about, she finally found out There was no such sale there that day. To tell the truth very briefly, She had no serious intent To carry home shoes she never could use Till she became feeble and bent. Perhaps there might he such a chance As shoes for ninety-five cents; But they’re sure to be styleless and shapeless And that any female resents. So this disappointed young female Departed from out “The Big Store And vowed and declared since from this she’d been spared. She would search for Male bargains no more. —Alice Himes. SPRING 1. Spring is the very best time of the year, Everyone is happy and full of good cheer, Even the birds give forth shrill notes And the children shed their winter coats. 2. The first sign of spring is the kites that fly Up in the sky so very high. March is the month for this good sport, For winds will blow of every sort. 3. Winds that chase hats down the street. Winds that make the children shriek; Winds that bring with them clouds, hail and rain, And dash it against the window pane. 4. The trees will bud and the leaves unfold, An old, old story often told. The prettiest story for one to hear. That this is the best time of the year. —Jane Bryan. A POEM-FAREWELL The end of school doth now draw nigh, The time at which rises many a sigh. As all the good old Seniors then Do start their lives as women and men. There is a sadness in every heart Because, it seems, they now must part With a prize which is now held dear. And thoughts of which will e’er be near. Most all their friends will drift apart, As each is forced his career to start If he or she intends to complete The tasks which God would have him meet. But though no longer in person here. We can’t forget you, never fear; By you I mean the students who Whilst we were near, were always true. Last of all, we wish to thank The teachers who put up with pranks Of those whose energy was too much To refrain themselves from doing such. —Alberta Stafford. YOU KNOW Don’t say, “Say”! And don't say, “See”! Don’t say, “Listen”! And don't say, “Gee!” Don’t powder your nose In the public gaze; Don’t polish your nails In the public ways. Don’t talk so much About “him” and “his”, Don't say so often. “I’ll say it is”. And don’t say “dearie”, And don't chew gum. And then I'll say the The millenium’s come. —Copied.
