21 EXCHANGES With this, our first issue, we send out a very hearty ■welcome to all our Exchanges and we hope that we will hear from them all very soon. Sound Waves, South Junior High, Waltham, Mass.: Your editorials are well worth commendation, espe- cially “Everlasting Keeping At It Brings Success.” We also found your “Profecies” very amusing. Huttlestonian, Fairhaven High School, Fairhaven, Mass.: One couldn’t imagine how much we enjoyed the “Senior Play From Behind the Scenes.” It was so realistic that we could actually picture “Cappy Ricks.” We missed the jokes and editorials in your last edi- tion. Ottawanian, Ottawa Hills High School, Grand Rap- ids, Michigan: Your “Little Pig” number was unique. We find your humor department very original, but think that if a few more jokes were added, it would be faultless. We take it for granted that football is .your major sport. Are we right? The Norther, North Dallas High School, Dallas, Texas: The Literary Department of your Christmas issue made a tremendous “hit” with us here in Som- erville. It was impossible for the Exchange Editor to keep track of the magazine, everyone was so in- terested in “What I Know About Boys.” You can be sure that the boys were in on this, too. “Whatcha Wanna Know?” was certainly someone’s original idea. The Huntington Record. Huntington School, Boston, Mass.: We’d like to suggest that you add at least one more editorial to your paper, as we think this would make it a bit more outstanding. Your “Wind- ing Brooks” follow an amusing path. The Massachusetts Collegian, Massachusetts Agri- cultural College, Amherst, Mass.: Congratulations or having a very “newsy” paper, at least in our estima tion. Your “By Jove” is exceptional, but we woulc. like to suggest that you mingle a joke or two among your various articles. The Madisonian, Madison High School, Madison, N. II.: Your editorials are very well written, but they are not quite long enough. Your poetry is some of the best that we have read. The Crusader, Honesdale High School, Honesdalc, Pa.: Members of Honesdale High, you should feel very proud of your publication, it is great! We rank it as ONE of our finest exchanges. We think your Literary Department a great success and, as to your Exchange Department, well, we might possibly take pattern by it. I’m referring to the arrangement. The Orange Leaf, Orange High School, Orange, X. J.: We find your School News very nicely arranged, and also well written. After reading “Backward and For- ward” we realize that you deserve much credit for your splendid work in making over your publication. The Reflector, Woburn High School, Woburn, Mass.: Your Class Notes are very cleverly written and so is your Poetry. We really have to say that we enjoy your editorials and this is out of the ordinary, for as a rule we find editorials very “dry,” but yours run contrary to form. We Acknowledge the Following Exchanges: The Botolphian, Boston College High School, Boston, Mass. Homespun, Senior High School, Greensboro, North Carolina. The Bostonion, Memorial High School for Boys, Rox- bury, Boston, Mass. He: “Do you know the gorilla song?” She: “Why no, I don’t believe —” He: “Gorilla, my dreams, I love you —” —V. M. I. Sniper. Doesn’t it seem just like old times to have Miss Bell back with us again ? Drawn by Pando.

MUSICAL APPRECIATION Uy Charlotte M. Pearson, 31 THIS year there has been started in school a class in musical appreciation, under the direction of Miss Mayo. The first few meetings of the class were spent in finding out just how much the pupils knew about music and the instrumentation of a symphony orchestra. Later in the year the members of the class will listen to the masterpieces on a Victrola and learn the important facts about the old music masters. At different times of the year, mem- bers of the class will be called upon to play the piano or to sing or to do anything in the musi- cal line they can. The class so far has proved to be very interesting as well as instructive.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SONG TUNE OF THE “STEIN SONG” By Charles Winn Sing a song for Somerville, Shout for the Red and Blue, Cheer the team on to victory. Let everyone be staunch and true, See the boys go charging through, Straight down the field they go, Till at last the ball is over. ’Tis a goal for the Red and Blue. A cheer for the team, For the boys who are fighting for victory, A cheer for our school, Whose fame will go down in history, For the Red, for the Blue, For the banner that waves so gallantly, For our boys, for our girls. For the spirit that never will die. S. H. S. S. H. S. Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Team, Team. Team.
