“The Clarion,” Cheverus Classical High School, Portland, Maine. Excellent editorials! As much can be said for your literary department. Yours is a very complete magazine and appar- ently has no defects. “The Monad,” Belleville High School, Belleville, New Jersey. You have plenty of jokes and a splen- did exchange column. Why not improve on, and increase, both your editorial and literary departments: “The Tabula,” Torrington High School, Torrington, Connecticut. Your Alumni Editor is ambitious and has certainly done splendid work. The editorials are good, but have all your artists graduated: The “Wampatuck,” Braintree High School, Braintree, Mass. Your magazine is well worth the hon- orable mention wen in the All-American School Magazine Contest. The Foreign Language Department is both beneficial and interesting. “The Whittier-Town Sentinel.” Ames- bury High School, Amesbury, Mass. The best weekly we receive! Your paper is condensed, but nevertheless com- plete. “The Item,” Dorchester High School for Girls, Dorchester, Mass. You have an excellent literary depart- ment and a clever exchange column. Nevertheless there is room for improve- ment on your editorials and a few cuts would help also. “The Echo,” Winthrop High School, Winthrop, Mass. As usual, you live up to your motto “Much in Little.” You have plenty of news, but not enough jokes. “The Sagamore,” Brookline High School, Brookline, Mass. A newsy paper with fine editorials and a good short story. Did you forget your exchange column in this issue: “The Hebronite,” Hebron College and Academy, Hebron, Nebraska. Y'our news and alumni departments are good, but where arc your literary and ex- change columns: “The Stetson Oracle,” Stetson High School, Randolph, Mass. A beautiful cover and design. If you had contributions in proportion to your advertisements you would have a really fine magazine. “The Proviso Pageant,” Proviso Town- ship High School, Maywood, 111. A fine school paper which also includes current news. The literary supplement is clever and is well done. A few jokes, now, and your paper will be complete.

Whose beautiful arch, I saw today? High above in the heaven’s own blue. Glistening and gleaming and bright are you. Are you a series of beautiful thoughts. Thoughts of us mortals woven together? Are you a messenger, beautiful, bright, Fortelling sunshiny, beautiful weather? Are you the bridge that spans the gulf Between this earth and heaven? Are you the bridge of the fairy folk Who work a magic leaven? Each time you come does a tired soul Go from this world away And. carried on thy shimmering arch. Speed happily away? Are you the bridge for pilgrims true To mount to eternal rest? Are you the one that leads the way To the Islands of the Blest? What are you rainbow, tell me. pray, Whose beautiful arch 1 saw today?

WHIP-POOR-WILL I wonder if you’ve ever heard The plaintive calling of a bird That’s called by some the Whip-poor-will”. It sings at eve when all is still. Its voice rings over wood and fen; It suddenly ceases. Then comes again. It stops for a moment. Its tired throat fills, Then, vigor renewed, tries more Whip-poor-wills.” Sometimes when baby whip-poor-will Won't go to bed in the night so still. His daddy’s song comes forth more shrilly This time he sings out Whip-poor-willie.” Margaret Morris. DREAMING Virginia Peck, J. '28 Do you love to dream? Well so do I. So let’s just sit while the hours roll by. Of what shall we dream when before us lie The brook, and the meadow, and the dark blue sky. Can you sec in that cloud a stage-coach old. Drawn by snow-white horses with reins of gold? Look, there in the field are children at play. How glad I am it’s the month of May. But come, we must back to our books and pens: We cannot always wander in the fields and glens.
