THE ROUND TABLE 25 In our first issue of the Round Table we welcome many friends, some old, some new. It is our aim to form new friendships and also to keep the old. All exchanges are welcome. We may be hard in our criticisms but we 'believe it helps. You can help us greatly too, by being fr'ank in yours. None of us can be perfect and others aid us in finding our mistakes. There- fore we believe that we are doing you a good turn, in our remarks, and you will be aiding us with yours. The Round Table acknowledges the following list of exchanges: THE RED AND BLACK—Reading High School—Your stories are very in- teresting and show talent. Your cuts are good. Class and Club Notes in- dicate fine school spirit. TRIDENT—Neptune Township High School—Some cuts would make your literary work more interesting and your magazine more attractive. Your ath- letic notes are good. CRIMSON CRIER—Keyport High School—Your paper shows great possi- bilities. You have made a fine start. Keep up the good work. Make more of your literary department. THE REFLECTOR—Leonardo High School—Your literary department should be enlarged. Why not some original stories? THE CHRONICLE—Niagara Falls High School—A very newsy paper. Your humor department is fine. PERISCOPE—Perth Amboy, N. J.— Your literary department deserves spe- cial mention. TARGUM—Rutgers College—A very interesting weekly.
