EXCHANGES r S s S V S N S V V V S S V V S» V» » ' » V We, of Mary E. Wells High School, are starting our new year with high hopes of success. One of the greatest helps in mak- ing our paper a success is the privilege of seeing the papers of other schools. Many splendid ideas can be obtained from other magazines. We learn what other schools are doing, and compare their acti- vities with those of our school. We see what other people our own ages are capable of accomplishing. Our year cer- tainly has started well. We have received eight exchanges so far, and these are our opinions of them: The Hilltop, Warren, Mass. Your paper is complete in every respect. It is a pleasure to read it. The Argus, Worcester, Mass. Your cuts are exceptionally fine. Your School Notes show that you are surely alive. The Volunteer, Concord, N. H.

OXFORD, MAY 27 The Mary E. Wells High School boys went to Oxford on May 27, and after playing a very good game, came home with a victory of 10-3. Desautels and Litchfield each brought in two runs, besides doing fine as the battery. Tessier played his usual good game. M. E. W. H.

However, Dame Fortune was against us, and we lost the game, mostly by errors, to the tune of 5-10. The bleachers were very well filled, and gave the team the support they needed. M. E. W. H.

However, it was chiefly luck that saved the game, as our team was somewhat over-con- fident. It was not until the seventh inning that our boys began to really work. M. E. W. H.

They were disappointed, however, for they went home with a loss of 13-0 on their minds. All teams have their off days, and this surely seemed to be theirs. M. E. W. H.
