Pasadena Chronicle, Pasadena, California, has an excellent sport page. Why not an exchange column? Technical High, Oakland, recently had a hick day, in which both boys and girls dressed as rubes or children. San Mateo High boasts a fine girls’ team in both baseball and tennis. Why not a separate page for your sports? ‘They are rather lost, sprinkled in with the news. The Red and Gold from Chico is a very peppy little paper. The news articles are well written.

higher school, because we have a law which tells us until what age we must go to school. Now it is for us to choose. The future is before us, and it is for us to say whether or not it shall be a success. We stand now on the threshold, which 1s graduation from high school, and are ready to take the step which will make or mar our future. If this step be rightly chosen, the steps which follow will be easier. We shall still have to work, but we shall have a definite thing to work for. If we choose the right way, all our time hereafter will be spent in advancing. One day we shall reach the highest step, but how or when no one knows. Now we must be contented with working always toward that goal. —H. McC. The exchange list this year has numbered over a hundred. ‘This list comprised papers of nearly every state in the union and Hawaii, beside a great number from California. The Lincoln Railsplitter, Los Angeles, California, has an excellent paper, being well written and well set-up. The Stray Leaves, Grass Valley, has a girl editor, Miss Beth Williams. The Spokesman, Plant City, Florida, claims to be the first high school weekly in Florida. A very clever April Fool edition was printed in which the main news pertained to recent fictitious engagements and weddings. The Barton News, Mobile, Alabama, is published by the juniors of the school. ‘The editor and assistant editors are girls. ‘he seniors there voted down cap and gown in favor of white dresses. The Tatler, Atlanta, Georgia, announces that their play was so successful that the performance had to be repeated upon demand. Steele’s Spotlight, Dayton, Ohio, has in its society department twenty-four clubs. Steele’s Lion, a smaller paper, is one of the most widely rea d papers that come from nigh schools. The Green and Gold, Fremont, Oakland, is one of the best papers on the list. ‘The issue of April 8 was very peppy and full of news. The Topeka High School World, Topeka, Kansas, is a well written paper, but the appearance would be improved if bigger headings were used on the articles, and some headliners at the top of the page. The Franklin Press, Los Angeles, California, is a very attractive appearing paper. ‘The use of many cuts is a great aid to its appearance. “The sport writeups are very good. The Sequoia Times, from Redwood City, is a new exchange from Sequoia Union High. We suggest, however, that for a paper of its size, the sports should have a special page with possibly a sport head. ‘Try it. The Scribbler is a miniature annual from Frank Evans High School, Spartan- burg, South Carolina. It is published quarterly. We suggest that the money and effort invested be used for a weekly or bi-monthly paper. It would reflect the spirit of the school much better than the Scribbler which seems to be a literary magazine. The Sabre from Randolph Macon Academy, Virginia, is a very clever, peppy paper. Twenty-four Blue and Red

Twenty-six The Seniors’ Farewell Upon the threshhold of life’s door ‘The Seniors stand, And looking out, they see before The things they’ve planned. ‘They see a golden vista stretched ‘Throughout the years, ‘The life each trusts to live is etched In hopes and fears. Yet standing at that door They hesitate ‘To meet and conquer in this world ‘The ways of Fate. ‘They look again at high school days And high school cheer, And grieve the end of four glad years Is so soon here. Some bravely stand and they prepare ‘To conquer all, While others fear, or do not dare To rise or fall. Blue and Red
