THE ECHO. EXCHANGES The beginning of a new term finds the exchange table well supplied with material for consideration. “Current Events” for December 2, pub- lished in Chicago, Ill., presents some excel- lent material, which in our estimation is most invaluable. You surely do contain a concise statement of the “current events.” “Ripples,” Cedar Falls, lowa: Why no table of contents? The arrangement of your material could be improved. The insertion of editorials first, gives the impression that you consider your other material as of but secondary importance. Your departments are all well edited. “The Alert,” Turlock, Cal.: You are an excellent paper. Some more well-made cuts would make your departments present a more wide-awake appearance. “The Skirmisher,’ St. Matthews School, Burlingame: You surely do your school and editorial staff credit. All your depart- ments are well taken care of. Your literary material is good. “The Nooz,” Emerson High School, Ste vens Point, Wis.: Your cuts are fine; your literary material and departments are good, but you spoil the whole appearance of your paper by careless arrangement. You have no table of contents; also too much adver- tising in the front pages. The same criti- cism as to editorials applies to your case, as to that of “Ripples.” “Wheat,” Ritzville, Wash.: Your ma- terial is good, arrangement fair. Your cuts are good. Why no table of contents? “The Adjutant,’ Mt. Tamalpias Military Academy: Your general appearance is very attractive. There is room for a great deal more good literary work. One story hardly balances so many fully written departments. “Keramos,” East Liverpool, Ohio: We find four pages well written ads in the front of your paper, but no table of contents. You stock cover is very neat. The article on “Oberamagau and the Passion Play” is most interesting. More cuts would be an im- provement. “The Toltec,’ Duranzo, Colorado: See criticism of “Ripples,” as to editorials. Your literary material and cuts are both good. “The Sentinel,” Harvard Military School, Los Angeles: Though your pages are few in number, they are well edited. “The Pioneer,” Newman Manual Train- ing School, New Orleans, La.: There lies before you the task of laying the foundation of a school activity, which will be either an influential factor in your school or a failure, depending largely upon the success of the first few issues. Though scant in quantity, your material is all right. You have the heartiest “best wishes” of The Echo for a successiul career. “The Lowell,” Lowell High School, San Francisco: Your Christmas Annual is the mose elaborate exchange received this month. However, your table of contents is missing. All your material, though in “A Lighter Vein,” is good. We enjoyed this issue immensely. The method of inserting photos was unique. j a ————

THE ECHO. SCHOOL NOTES After a vacation of two weeks, school again opened on Monday, January 9, with a large enrollment. The incoming class this term was very large, making it necessary to seat many in one of the class-rooms. To the entire Freshman class we extend a most hearty welcome, Those entering the High School for the first time are as follows: Otto Berger, Forrest Beebe, Florence Brown, Blanche Barrett, Marion Bogle, Allisio Bettini, Jnetta Cooper, Lawrence Chapman, Wesley Leroy, Myrna Ewing, Freada Feliz, Merle Gregory, Aubry Gale, Elizabeth Hendren, Enid Harris, Louise Hart, Henry Johnson, Earl Jones, Juliet Johnson, Chester Leard, Emma Martz, Geo. Mermann, Ruth McReynolds, Roscoe Mc- Cuistion, Alma McDaniel, Mathilda Nelson, Mabel Newman, Joe Pedrois, Chauncey Pet- erson, Mildred Rushmore, Stuart Roy, Mar- garet Ramusser, Robert Slyter, Bonnard Sullivan, Leo Noonan, Carl Steinnort, Dora Silver, Leah Spoonser, Lillian Seymour, -William Seymour, Agnes Vought, Martha Weigel, Roscoe Wallace, Mamie Wiley, Earl Young. Owing to the fact that Miss Mailer and Miss Wylie have been given a leave of ab- sence for the remainder of the year, we note some changes in the faculty. Miss Watson, of the University of California, has taken charge of the science department, and Mr, Jeffries, of Harvard University, is in- structor in English and History. A cement floor has been laid in the base- ment of the High School building, which is certainly a decided improvement. Many of the former S. R. H. S. graduates, now students of the State Normal schools. have returned to their work after the vaca- tion during the holidays. Miss Irene Norris and Miss Kathryn Smyth are among the new ones to enter the San Francisco Nor- mal. Among those who have returned are the following: San Francisco Normal—Miss Clara Ein- horn, Julia Saunders, Grace and Maud Hinz, Hilda Lawrence, Helen Thurston, Kathryn Smyth, Irene Norris and Ruth Smyth, San Jose Normal—Misses Gertrude King, Georgia Pursell, Eleanor Smith, Elsie Rick- ard, Mildred Petersen, Anna Voss. The High School entertainment which was given at the Columbia Theater on the evening of December 23, was a great suc- cess both in point of presentation and in at- tendance. The success of the evening’s en- tertainment was due to the faithful efforts of the students and teachers alike. By the time the doors opened every seat had been sold. The audience was an appreciative one, as was shown by its frequent and hear- ty applauses, which burst forth during both the cantata and minstrels. Students and patrons all, we thank you for the interest manifested in us,
