EXCHANGE S Although We sent out the usual number of copies of The Cornet last year, We have received only o11e paper in exchange, The Gathererf' from Deer Isle. This is a very interesting paper, with some good stories and jokes. There are individual pictures of the Senior class a11d group pic- tures of each class. The poetry is good, and the thirty pages of adver- tising show an appreciative com- munity. We hope to have more exchanges next year.
