All Stars”—players from the three tinder classes—game was closely contested hut the so-called “V. H. S. All Stars broke loose and won 15-12. Faculty vs. All Stars ! That game “Faculty” vs. “V. H. S. All Stars” was a “whiz”! ! Fouls were as numerous as the screams and groans of the contestants but the ref. laid aside every rule that made a game strict! ! The teams were evenly matched although the “All Stars” claimed to be the better team. At the end of the half Captain Delaney of the Faculty team changed her position as guard to that of forward and Lucia Brown filled the guard position. At this point the Faculty went to town! ! When the final whistle was blown,, the score was 14-14. At the end of the over time period the score was 16-15 in the faculty's favor. SOFT BALL Plans are under way for a soft ball team. The girls seem to be very interested in the sport. As yet the schedule is limited. The first game will be between Vergennes-and Middlebury but no date has beerr set as yet.

26 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL Exrhattgp Alfred Miller, '38, Editor Spaulding Sentinel Barre, Vt. Since our last issue, we have had two issues from you. While we find your December cover design the more attractive. your March number makes more interesting reading. Your French knock-knocks would do credit to a native. W. H. S. Airwaves Waterbury, Vt. In each of the three issues we have received from you. we notice excellent fiction. You also have some very talented poets. Enosburg Falls Hi Spirit Enosburg Falls, Vt. Your December number has an attractive cover design, and your April number, some good fiction. Might we suggest a table of contents? The Hourglass Orleans, Vt. Your December number with its ap- propriate coloring is the clearest mimeograph paper we have seen. We appreciate your humorous poems and wish we could read those interesting looking shorthand stories. R. H. S. Chips Richmond, Vt. You have a very good poetry department and some interesting editorials. The mimeographing, however, is difficult to read in places. L. H. S. Review Londonderry, Vt. Your March number has it all over anything you’ve put out yet. Both your fiction and your poetry are due for a big hand. The Chronicle Wallingford, Conn.. The fiction in your April number is excellent. We consider it a decided improvement over last time. The Dial Brattleboro, Vt. You must be a versatile bunch. Your January number is full of the zest of the great outdoors, while the February number is full of dreamy fiction; different as day and night and both good. The Reflector Woburn, Mass. Your stories are good, but your outstanding feature, of course, is those cartoons scattered through the magazine. Somebody deserves a lot of credit for them. We are glad to welcome a new school magazine into our midst, The Poultney Polonius of Poultney, Vt. A very good initial issue. Your personality quiz beats anything of its kind we’ve seen in its line. Keep up the good work. SLIPS THAT PASS IN THE TYPE From Exchanges (No hard feelin’s, folks) The Peopleonian (telling of their champion girls’ Basketball team) “A plague was awarded the winning-coach.” The Dial “Spurned on by close to nine hundred rooters, B. H. S. turned what started to be an interesting contest into a one-sied shellacking.” And our own magazine, The Blue and White, “Some back current of wind carried the ear’s (bear’s) scent to the buck’s nose.
