BLUE AND WHITE 23 “The Slate” Fair Haven, Vermont We enjoyed your fall issue. The cuts show marked originality. M. L. R. H. S. Chips” Richmond, Vermont We think your paper very well balanced. You have an excellent literary department which displays fine vocabularies. L. B. “Homespun” Greensboro, North Carolina What can we say of your paper except that we consider it one of the finest—indeed, I may say the very finest, purely literary paper which we receive. We shall be happy to enjoy more numbers. M. L. “Mercury” Bellows Falls Free Academy Your paper is growing better with each issue. We like especially your cuts, which are very clever. Good luck to your French Department. R. W. L. “L. G. S. Messenger” Leland and Gray Seminary Your material is good but your paper would be far better if you would insert a few cuts, and make your material more abundant, to overbalance your advertisements. R. W. L. “The Spaulding Sentinel” Barre, Vermont The cover on your paper is very clear-cut and attractive. We congratulate you upon your celerity in issuing an Athletic Number. M. L. “The Argus” Gardner, Mass. We were glad to receive the “Argus” from Gardner, sent to us by Mrs. Morrill, who was on our faculty two years ago. The paper contains much excellent material, and the arrangement of a cheer or a song with each game is refreshing. R. M. B.

22 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL fExrljangp Mary Lance, ’33, Editor It is hard for an Exchange Editor to look upon all her exchanges without inserting, to some degree, a note of personal taste. That this situation may be remedied, some of the papers have “The Mercury” St. Albans, Vermont We enjoy your paper immensely. Your Literary Department is especially interesting, but a bit more creative writing would add tone. The plan for your Alumni Department is very clever. M. W. “Catamount” Bennington, Vermont Your mid-year issue is a wonderful piece of work. We noted that all of your cuts are done by Alumni. Surely you must have some high school artists. E. F. “The Clarion” Essex Junction, Vermont An interesting magazine. We suggest a French Department. P- J- “The Peopleonian” Morrisville, Vt. Your departments are well done. The Alumni Department showed considerable work on the part of its editor. We like the clear print of your Table of Contents. It is easily read. been given to different students ta comment upon. In this manner it is possible for us to command varied viewpoints and criticisms. Mary Lance, ’33 “Lakonian” Laconia, New Hampshire Why not either assemble your jokes into a department or else have more of them scattered through your paper? They add color and spice. Your cuts are excellent, and we were delighted with the modernistic cover. M. L. “The Four Leaf Clover” Plainfield, Vermont Your fall issue is a splendid number. The departments are well developed, but why not have a larger “Exchange?” E. F. “Lasell Leaves” Auburndale, Boston, Mass. An excellent magazine. You have several good poets. “Down by the Sea” and “Dusk” deserve special credit. P- J- “Hi-Spirit” Enosburg Falls, Vermont You have a fine paper. The departments are exceptionally well balanced. We might suggest slightly smaller cuts for the size of your page. D. B. M. L.
