Ewfzzaii f f xcHANcf1s Here's a jolly vacation to you- ' It is indeed a pleasure to read The Bell from San Jose, Cal. Its attractiveness at once demands attention, and the Exchange col- umn is especially of note. A We are glad to find so much attention paid to the editorials in The Campus, Epworth University, Oklahoma City. Allow us to suggest that you make more of your Exchange. A good story is needed in Comus, Zanesville, Ghio. VVe have never seen a daintier cover design than is found on your issue for April. The stories are, exceptionally good in The Princetonianf' Princeton, Indiana... If a large type were used, the paper would be more attractive to the eye. '-'The Item from Pasadena High always suggests refinement and conscientious effort. The last issue of- The High School News, St. Louis, which we have is for March. It is certainly an excellent paper, all departments being well. represented. The Easter number of the Epsilon'7 Bridgeport, Conn., contains a number of good stories. The paper is lacking, however, in its cuts, at the heads of the various departments. A cover design is needed to make complete The Mirra-, Larentum, Pa. ' The Porcupine from Santa Rosa High California, is indeed a very neat and attractive paper. Good work is shown in the edi- torialsf' The Exchange editor in The Herald,', Denver, Colo., mentioned two exchanges, in the issue for March. Wfhy are they alone, fa- vored? , Cf great interest is the issue of The H. S. Circle, Circleville, Ohio, for March. This number has been given over to the history of Circleville, and it is indeed well done. The Polytechnicl' Pasadena, Cal., ranks high as a school paper. The Brown and WVhite Greensburg, Pa., represents an active school. A good cover design is sadly lacking. Q Although The Pedestal, XfValla Wfalla, XVash., is a small paper could it not present better sketches and make more of its exchange column? VVe wish The Tatler success, in its endeavor to issue a month- ly. The first number, for March is a good beginning. Good Rhymes are found in Ye Chronicle Pomona, Cal., Con- gratulations for your success in athletics this year. Wfe have never received a better High School paper than The Student, from Detroit Central High School, Detroit, Mich. P-lease do not fill your exchange column exclusively with compliments for yourselff' from other schools. V 27

'- Ling- I M - -- ' As the school year of 1907 draws to a close we look back over the year with the feeling of something attempted,-something done. This year for the first time in the history of the school a Student Body has been organized to manage and control student affairs. By the co-operation of students and faculty this organization has pros- pered. Wfe sincerely hope that the Student Body will prosper in the future as they have already so far. The attitude of the people toward school activities, especially of the business men of Long Beach, is a source ofgreat pleasure to us. lMere it not for the business men who support us in various ways, Long Beach High could not have so good a school paper, nor could so much interest be taken in the school athletics if it were not for the support of loyal business men. The election of Eugene Tincher, '08, as President of the Council of the Debating League of Southern California brings glory to our school and again reminds us of his great work on the Polytechnic and Pomona debate teams. The Merchants' 81 Manufacturers' Protective association, have also earned the bestwishes of L. B. H. S., by their generous contri- bution of forty dollars toward the publication of this issue of the Caerulea. . ' Wfe desire to express, on behalf of L. B. H. S., the sincere appreciation of the attitude of the firm of Dyas Sz Cline, who have given a fine pennant to our Champion Girls' Basket ball team. Long Beach High feels that great credit is due Miss Knowles for the success of debating during the past year. The final score of our debates by no means indicates the great benefit each individual debater has derived from the year's work. The efforts put forth by Miss Knowles have not been in the attitude of a dictator, but rather as a director giving aid to the debaters that they might be thoroughly acquainted with the subject under discussion. We have always en-y tered the final contests feeling that our speeches were wholly our own, yet remembering with appreciation the thoughtful and capable assistance of Miss Knowles. Perhaps the greatest impetus given to debating during the past year has been the organization by Miss Knowles of the two debating classes. The great value of her work in this line in developing ma- terial for next year's contests cannot be overestimated and we are glad that the supervision of the work will be in her hands next year. EUGENE E. TINCHER. A woRD GF THANKS. ' The orchestra wish to thank their director, Miss Holton, for her earnest and patient work with us during the past term. We re- gret very much that she will not be with us for another term's work. lVe also wish to thank the student body at large for the hearty support given us, and hope that our musical enthusiasm may be greater, and that we may be a more representative organization in the year before us. lVe can all say that our work has been a source of great pleasure and that orchestra practice was the main event of each week.

At 7:30 they gathered at the Salt Lake Sta- tion with sandwiches, pickles, tincups, and clams for the clam bake. XfVith tincups rattling, they proceeded along. the strand to the foot of Daisy avenue. Here a great fire was built, and after putting the potatoes to roast they began their games. When they were tired and hungry, coffee was made and sandwiches and pickles freely dis- tributed. They, when they were ready to bake the clams, they opened the boxes, and lo! the clams were all marshmallows. But who cared? The candy was much sweeter, and what fun it was to. toast and eat them as they listened to the humerous songs and read- ings! As to the time they went home-the Sophs wouldn't tell-but early Cin the morningj we suppose. Yxfhen the Long Beach people began planning for the great Harbor Jubilee Day, they asked that the High School be represent- ed in the parade. With Miss Holton as designer, manager and dec- orator-in-chief, Long Beach High School was represented by two be-autiful floats. ' The first, the orchestra float, was an auto beautifully decorated in pink roses. Over the machine was suspended a large bell, show- ering roses upon those seated below. Behind this came the tally-ho, decked in the school colors, green and gold, with the addition of some white. The Los Angeles Times said of it, On the Long Beach High School float, the most beautiful in Saturday's pageant, is showered more praise than on. any of the hundred equipages which paraded the streets on that auspicious oc- casion. Six' spotless white horses drew the float, in front of which was a bugler on a white charger. The girls who rode in the tally- ho and the young men who attended it were all in yellow and white costumes of 'ye Colonial days.' Evidently the judges, as well as spectators admired the float, for it was awarded the first prize-a gold medal. The day before spring vacation a Junior class meeting was called, apparently for the transaction of some trival, but necessary business. WVhen this had been disposed of, Miss Moody announced that this was her last day as a teacher in our high school. The jun- iors were so overcome with surprise and regret that, for a time no one could speak. , At last, however, some 'one moved a vote of thanks to Miss Moody for all she has been to the Junior Cla-ss. At the suggestion and advice of Prof. Morgan, Miss Moody remains the 28 . honorai mously where carryin bid her lessene plan fo Ne receive class tc to rem didn't l ago, W Chandl Mi departr Th The fal- head o' lucky 2 evening the refi Bu Circus but tha date su where, game, even cz lant me than ei to the his sui went h of use would Pr High, S Life in Di studen A1 to tell The af for sol and de of Mi: the Ju before
