26 The MisSHiE Q ID IE 01 m txc an es 0 ] Q 0 ] Oi 01 We appreciate and take much pleasure in reading the vari- ous exchanges which come to us each year and sincerely trust that all the schools which have exchanged magazines with us heretofore will do likewise this term. Every magazine is wel- comed by the Petersburg High School. Our aim in criticizing our exchanges is to help the different schools to see their weak and strong points, to encourage them in their work, and to give them an idea of what we think a school magazine should be. Do to us as we do to others. Any criticism pertaining to both the faults and virtues of the Missile will be gratefully accepted, as it is our desire to correct the former and add to the latter in each succeeding issue. The P. H. S. wishes this to be the most prosperous year of all in the history of every school.
