VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL EXCHANGE EDITOR, RUTH MERJRfflLL, ’41 “Poultney Polonius” Poultney, Vt. An interesting paper. Your “Snips” and “Snoopy” columns were especially good. Stiffer covers and clearer print would improve your paper a lot. “Banner” Winooski, Vt. Our congratulations are extended to your poets. They have done a fine job. Your editorials and stories are, also, excellent. “The Spectator” Shelburne, Vt. Fine stories. Your “Daffyni-tions” were very good, but aren’t you letting your poets off a little too easily? “Hi-Spirit” Enosburg, Vt. Upon reading your paper we discovered a fine literary department. Although we do not know any of the young people referred to in your “Campus Gossip,” we enjoyed it just the same. Reading further we discovered that you lack a language department. How about one? “The Mirror” Wilmington, Vt. Your cuts are swell. The colors add much to your paper. We found your “Fashion Notes” very interesting and your “Sports,” too. We found, however, that you, too, are lacking a language department. PAGE EIGHTEEN
