THE OCKSIIEPERIDA 17 “The Wyoming Student,” of Laramie, Wyo., you are one of our regular and welcome exchanges. Your athletic section was of the greatest interest. “The Hastings Collegian,” of Hastings, Neb., was attractive on account of its photographs. Athletics were of special interest in its December number. Freshman—Emerald. Sophomore—Blarney stone. Junior—Grindstone. Senior—Tombstone.—Ex. From the sunny south arrived “The Oracle,” from Jacksonville, Fla. The Juniors surely made their issue successful, especially from the literary standpoint. Prof.—-A fool can ask questions a wise man can’t answer. Student—I suppose that’s the reason so many of us Hunk in exams.—Ex. We laugh at our teacher’s jokes, No matter what they be; Not because they’re funny jokes, But because it’s policy.—Ex. “The Joshua Palm” of Goldfield, Nev., is a recent exchange. It is a well arranged paper with an appropriate cover design, but cuts would add interest to its interior. “The Tabor College Times” of Tabor, la., not in booklet style, affords a variation in the general form of interesting college news. More jokes and cuts would brighten it. Lines of Latin all remind us If we had old Caesar here. We would move, but leave behind us Loving footprints on his ear.—Ex. Teacher—The three boys in the front seat were the only ones to get correct answers in the examination. Voice (from rear)—Good team work.— Ex. “Red and Black.” of Salt Lake City, Utah, is one of our latest periodicals. It is from a High school in which are enrolled 1,450 pupils. This paper is brim-full of wit. Among our best exchanges is the “Classi-cum,” from Ogden. Utah. Every department is worthy of praise. The discussion on “A Student” contains applicable suggestions. “Western Union Journal,” of LeMars, la., would be more cheerful in appearance if it contained cuts. Nevertheless, suggestive and helpful points lie in its literary department. “The Bellflower Township High School Bulletin.” Bellflower. 111.; it is evident that your High school produces a number of poets. The effective German department is commendable. The departments of “The Academy Record” (San Antonio, Tex.), are somewhat few, but just the same the account of “The Educational Value of Athletics” excites enthusiasm. “The Oahuan,” of Oahu College, came to us from far-away Honolulu. Its picturesque photographs were a striking feature of its attractiveness. The literary productions arrested our attention. Another paper of unusually high standard is “The Tiger” of Little Rock, Ark. The literary department was exceedingly good. Current events and the debating society figured prominently. Well developed departments comprise “The Kyoto” of Billings. Mont. The December issue contained good literary material. while the other sections appeared with the usual snap and vigor. “Trident,” from Santa Cruz, Cal., is one of the best papers we receive. In it. societies figure strongly, which add a newness to our exchanges. It is also evident that much time is devoted to literary work. Exchange notes, usually last but not least, afford a means of acquaintance between schools and thus we feel more in contact with

16 THE OCKSHEPERI DA “The Increscent,” of Beloit, Wis., tains its cleverness. Teacher—I’m tempted to give a test. Soph.—Yield not to temptation. A clever little paper with noticeable cuts is the “Observer,” from Chillicothe, Mo. The “Northwestern University Bulletin” of Evanston. 111., contains its weekly events. Your jokes and cuts make your paper lively as ever, “Tenderfoot” (Salida, Colo.). “The Student Crier” of South Haven, Mich., contained rather amusing athletic news. “Stephens’ Collegian” of Columbia, Mo., a popular exchange, maintains its usual merit. “The Ypsi-Sem,” from Ypsilanti, Mich., of Decernbei, is an improvement over former issues. Yonr up-to-date paper, “Breeze,” (Albion, Mich.) would be more attractive if it contained cuts. “Scarlet and Green” of Auburn, Neb-expressed an athletic activity which is not shown in all schools. “Purple and Gold.” Bellevue. Neb., college spirit is prominent in all lines of your work. Your December issue was conspicuous for its athletic news and photographs. re- Jolly Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas exchanges came to us. Anxiously we await the New Year’s numbers. We always enjoy your paper, “Kodak” (Everett. Wash.). Your foreign language notes are new and instructive material. “Evening School Voice,” of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a paper with a striving motive, which is developed from an active school spirit. The splendid Freshman number of “The Reflector” from Paxton, Illinois, which we have at hand, is the first issue we have received. We now have at hand two issues of “The Arrow,” from Broken Bow, Neb. These are improving and possess the usual cheery contents. This year we again welcome “The Narrator” of Schuylkill Seminary in Reading, Pa. Your literary department is interesting and instructive. “The Booster,” of Chadron, Neb., we again an in receipt of your regular exchange. Your neat paper contains noticeable exchange notes. “The Spectator” of Coffeyville, Kans.. was worthy of special attention. The literary portion and editorials were well written, while photographs added much interest. Its exchanges should profit by its criticisms.

The O. K. Sheperida (Sheridan, Wyo.). is a high school paper recently received. It is an excellent paper. Very few improvements could be made.—Ex. There certainly was excitement in 0. II. S. when the “Ocksheperida” arrived. Everyone wanted the dictionary. Won’t you please tell us what it means?—Goldfield. Nev. (“Ocksheperida” comes from the Crow Indian language and means “Camp Crier.”) The latest periodical on our exchange table is the “Ocksheperida.” The first issue contains several excellent stories, among them being “Back to the Fifteenth Century.” by Seymour Sharp.
