20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EXCHANGE NOTES The postman's whistle brought the exchange editor from her easy chair and her book, and sent her rushing down stairs to meet him. “ Please be kind. she begged, and give me only a few to-day. I’ve read and criticised until I’m tired to death. All those? Oh. mercy! Sorry I haven’t only a few. but better luck next time. and left her, with her arms full of papers. She called to her brother to help her out, and was surprised to hear him answer good- naturedly : All right, sis. in a minute. The exchange editor sat down at her desk and opened the first paper. Slowly the tired look passed away, and she read the paper eagerly. Jack, read the Stylus when you are through with that. It’s the dandiest paper! The class prophecy is great, and Hamilton Life’ is very in- teresting. If 1 remember rightly, there’s no ex- change column, though, and it needs one. “All right. I’ll read it. The Tuftonian is good, sis, though it’s probably more interesting to me than to you. I’ve finished the Dial : the arrange- ment Isn’t at all good, and there’s no exchange column. The Oracle has a dandy class history, lie sure to read it carefully. “Oh. Jack, look! Here’s a paper called the Kwassui Quarterly, from Nagasaki. Japan. It’s part in Japanese and part in English. Look at it, do! Jack took the highly-colored magazine and looked it over carefully. As I never studied Japanese, J am afraid I can’t see what the mean. Yes. it is very interesting, sis. Silence prevailed for some time, and finally Jack threw his last paper on the desk by his sister. There, kid. I’m through, and now Pm off for a game of tennis. “Oh. wait a minute. Jack! Here’s something that applies to you. Listen! College Roy: ’Rah! ’Rah! ’Rah! dad, I’m halfback on the ’varsity.” “ Dad: Yes: and way back in your studies.”’ Doesn’t that hit you?” Thanks. W’here’d you get that?” In the Chandelier. “Good paper? Yes. There’s a good piece called ‘A Fable Modernized.’ It’s all right. Tell me about your papers before you go. Well. he yawned, let’s see. The Par-Sem is pretty good. I can’t remember much about it. except that there’s no exchange column. The Dean Megaphone is corking all through. It’s a good paper, sis. That’s all I read. Now what about yours?” Jack, the Proctonia is fine! It’s the best yet. It’s managed well. too. and please read it when you come in. Then there’s the Dome. There’s no table of contents or any exchange column, but there’s a story in it that I think you’d like. It’s called Padre Stefano.’ That’s all I’ve done. May I come out, too, and play tennis? Please don’t object. “Come on. kid. and we’ll have a ripping good game. said her brother. W here’s my racket?

Both teams used many open plays, particu- laily Chelsea, who used punts to great advantage. Chelsea was lighter than Somerville, but put up a good game, fighting every minute. The Somer- ville backficld showed great form, getting off their plays with snap and speed. The work of Parks. Garland, and Doane was noticeable for the ground gained.
