Student, are bright and interesting. ' Washington Memories,’ relating the trials in the journey t: and from the capital, is certainly very humorous. A story of an entirely different kind is Look Back, which reviews the entire school life from home teaching through college. “The Study Hour is a clever parody on Longfellow's “The Children’s Hour. A new friend appears in the Commencement number of the Mcgunticook from Camden. Me. The enthusiasm and the school spirit shown in this interesting magazine are noticeable. With a graduating class of eleven, they make up in quality what they lack in quantity. As a graduation number, the Sagamore is well edited. One of the most amusing sections of the magazine is “Who's Who Among the Seniors,” giving word pictures of the graduating class. Wake up your poets and authors. Record. Bos- ton English High. Set them to work! The edi- torials in the June number are good, especially the one entitled “After School. What? The cut for your “Locals” column is most original. The cover of the June Megaphone, while simple, is attractive. Great importance is given to the alumni pages, which are certainly successful. The High School Recorder, of Winchester, has an attractive graduation number. “Our Wash- ington Trip” is an interesting story, giving a good description of the various buildings and parks in the city. The class statistics for 11)08 arc quite amusing. “The Victory, in the May Clarion, holds the reader s attention well. It is a story which shows that school spirit predominates over personal spite. A reproduction of the beautiful painting. “Old Temeraire. is given in the same number. A brief history of that vessel and a sketch of the life of the painter. Joseph Mallord Turner, explain the picture.
