19 The Golden- Rod literary and exchange departments? The contents of your literary column are good, but some stories would make it more at- tractive. The Aroostookan:—In looking through this magazine, there is nothing confusing about the arrangement as in some papers, where one column directly follows another without hardly the space of a line between. Here we can see at a glance just what each section is about. The Reflector:—We do not quite agree with the criticism on exchange columns of your former editor, in as much as he suggests a detailed criticism of only one exchange in each issue. This is very well for the paper that is lucky or unlucky enough, which ever the case may be, to receive the comment. But when one realizes that most of our school papers are only issued from eight to ten times a year, it is quite impossible to give all a fair chance when there are between forty and sixty exchanges to be considered during the year. “Your cover design is neat, your paper good, and the print clear. The Editorials are well written, and your Literary Department is exceptionally good. Why not have a heading for it as for the other departments? School Life is well worked up, as are your Alumni Notes. You seem to have a small number of Exchanges. Your criticisms are to the point, yet we think you might say more about each paper. The heading of ‘Jokes’ is very clever, and the jokes themselves are really good. That is something we cannot say about all Joke Columns.”—The Aegis, Beverly, Mass. TRACK TEAM. PHOTO BY NERSES

Record:—Congratulations on your first attempt at publishing a school paper. You have begun well by making your first issue an introduction to your school. Your cover design and the neat arrangement of material are very pleasing. With our wishes for the best of luck, we also hope to see the addition of exchange and alumni columns. The High School Record is one splendid magazine, which is worth the attention of all our exchange readers. The way in which the different classes have supported this, their paper, by giving a full page advertisement, is a good example for classes of all schools, running a paper, to follow. The Echo:—We are very glad to add you to our column. Your “Cream O’ Wit” de- partment is clever. The Advance:—You are doing well with advertisements, but an exchange column is a feature which you sadly lack. 18 The Student:—Why not increase your

S. midget team completely turned the tables on the Huntington team by defeating them in an exciting race. The first runner for Quincy secured a lead over his opponent, though Quincy’s second runner lost about one-half this lead, and the third runner was passed by his opponent. It was here that Maybury, the fast midget runner, showed his speed by overhauling and, after a hard sprint, passing the Huntington School runner. Silver medals were presented to the midget team as winners. The first team was matched against the Weymouth, West Roxbury and Natick High Schools. The midget team, out to revenge their defeat at the Huntington School meet, chose to run the midget repre- sentatives of that school. Dennehy entered for the mile run.
