i8 social, and athletic circles, as they are known to all, and will remain in the school records as everlasting monuments to their originators. It is now the duty of the classes coming on to follow in the steps of their learned predecessors and try to obtain the same high standard of excellency. Exchanges. The “Blue and White” wishes to acknowledge the following exchanges: “The Academy” (Owego, N. Y.,) “The Congress’’ (Olean, N. Y.,) “The Sunnyside” (Washington Irving High School, Tarrytown,) “The Iliad” (Troy, N. Y.,) “The Water Wheel” (Warwick, N. Y.,) “The High School News” (Geneva, N. Y.,) “Apokeepsian” (Poughkeepsie, N.

Recorder” has a fine exchange column. “The Pennsylvania Yankee” is a good little paper, but if some of the paper from the cover of the March issue had been used in story writing, it would be much neater. “The Tattler” is always welcome. “The Apokeepsian” shows good work on the part of the staff. Athletic notes takes up a good share of the “Iliad.” “The Sunnyside” is always a cheery visitor. “Congress” must have some poets on the staff'. “The Academy” has some good material. We are always glad to see the “Rumsey Hall Echo.” The “Tuskeegee Student” has some solid reading. “The Red and White7 does not come very often. —
