We have begun our Exchange Year with a collection of papers and magazines from eight states. Would it not be great to have the list grow so that the forty-eight states will be represented. Please help ! PASADENA CHRONICLE, Pasadena, Calif. The Freshman number, tinted in green, Was the most attractive paper ever seen. I ' m sure the Poor Freshmen would never be scared. With all the schedules, programs, and maps fully aired; One sees that athletics hold the first place. But what of the stories, is it to you a maze? The editorials, too, seem to hide from the light, A few more jokes would add a great might. Among Those Present, ' by Larry, is worthy of praise ; And Woman: The Invincible, ' should lead, one says. THE LOUDSPEAKER, Onondago Valley Academy, Syracuse, N. Y. Perhaps it would be loud if you had more to say, A few more pages would not spoil your lay. The cover, especially, portraying your State Is jolly in colors and thought that relate. The Art Editor .should receive great credit, She certainly seems to be right at it. Your miscellaneous columns are fun to read, And should be placed in your book in the lead. THE UXBRIDGE HIGH SPOTLIGHT, Uxbridge, Mass. Laugh and the world laughs with you, ' is a good say; Do not be serious too much, I, dare, mny. Where are your poems, and jokes, and stories. To chase away teardrops and all sorts of worries ? The exchanges, too, must have taken fright No matter how you looked, they wouldn ' t come in sight; And, yet, the worst has some good So try again and change your mood. THE MILACHI, Milacha, Minnesota. Little of every thing makes one great thing, That is why your paper ranks high with everything. A poem specks the page, an editorial or two. News from the school and stories quite a few. The jokes make one giggle, and the Chin- Chins still more ; A paper worth reading — hope another is in store. THE FRANKFORD HIGH WAY, Phila- delphia, Pa. A newsy paper that is worth reading ;

16 THE CRIMSON AND GRAY ord this year for several seasons. So far, they have won four games and have tied one, which was with Ware. The first team has outscored their opponents, having made eighty-seven points to the latter ' s seven. Nine times out of thirteen, the team has been successful in scoring the extra point after a touchdown. Webster also has a no defeat record but the Bartlett team only defeated North- bridge with a score 12-6 while the Wells team defeated Northbridge 20-0. The boys have the very best chances of defeating Webster and a very bitter struggle is ex- pected on Thanksgiving between the two teams. We are very fortunate in having a sec- ond team to fall back on if our players are in- jured. Dugas was kept out of the Holden game due to a broken finger but his place was capably filled by Arpin. Early in the sea- son, Blair sprained a leg muscle but the team did not suffer as H. Kaprowski was there to take his place. We were glad to see Gatineau back in the hne-up in the game with Northbridge after having been kept out of the preceding games with a sprain- ed arm. The line-ups are: Tremblay, le; Gatineau and Weaver, It; Francazzi and Champlin, Ig; Blair and H. Kaprowski, c; Favreau and Tillyer, rt; Peloquin and Grant, re; Dugas and Arpin, qb; Pontbriand rhb; M. Kaprowski and Steen, Ihb; Volpini and LeClair, fb. This year the students and Coach Mc- Mahon have formed an Athletic Association. Such an organization has existed in the school before this year, but it was inactive. All students can become members of this as- sociation by paying $.10. This money is to insure a steady backing for the team as the games are sometimes poorly attended and not enough money is received to pay for their equipment. The Athletic Association is governed by the council at the head of which is Mr. Mc- Mahon. Each class is represented in the council by two delegates except the Senior Class, which has three representatives. The managers and captains of the various teams are also members of the council. Officers were elected for the years 1929-30. Councilmen — Seniors: Bertha Love, Alma Lemoine and Elzear Cormier. Councilmen— Juniors : Nellie Misiaszek and Raymond Gatineau. Councilmen — Sophomores : Ruth Clough and Harry Kaprowski. Councilmen — Freshmen : Lucille Munroe and Bernard Fox. Cheer Leaders — Doris Claflin and Edward Paquette. Assistants — Priscilla Morris and Doris Du- brueil, E. W. Tillyer. Managers ; Football — Maurice Clemence, As- f istants, George Page, Thaddeus Kosakowski. Girls ' Basketball — Susan Carion, Assistants, Wanda Kwarciak, Wilhelmina Kania. Boys ' Basketball — Elzear Cormier, Assistants, Clarence Peloquin, Wilson Knight. Buttons have been bought and given to the members of the association. Many stu- dents have their buttons but there are still some who have not joined the A. A. Don ' t be slackers ! ! ! ! SUPPORT your teams ! Every afternoon, the basketball court, built last spring, has been the scene of ac- tive encounters. Already the boys and girls are practicing in that sport. If practice makes perfect, Southbridge should have Class A basketball teams THIS YEAR.

THE CRIMSON AND GRAY 23 Above all, she is leading. One gets everything about your actions, And feels quite at home with your functions. The Dummy Depot ' brings nevs s galore. And Sport Flashes add some more; The editorials are all worth reading; The poems, too, need no extra feeding — Still a story or tvs o would help a great deal To lead the Frankford High Way to obtain a seal. THE SCOTLAND COURIER, Scotland, Pa., A well-written paper worthy of its name Every bi-weekly edition is not the same; The Alumni Page holds quite a place, The Questions and Answers pucker one ' s face Tn a snicker that burst into a roar When the Dormotoryettes rush in the door. But there is something lacking, quite evi- dent, too. Where are your ads ? — You need quite a few. THE WAXA BEACON, Waxachachie, Texas An attractive heading makes one realize That there is something worth reading, though small be its size. The editorials are great and so are the ads. Enough rooting is given the Football lads ; The Society Columns are different, indeed. The Art Editors have talent and are in the lead. But still, though not eager, we must say A few stories should be written without delay. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD, Westfield, Mass. Some book, I ' ll say! Why it ' s just great! Holds one with its contents till one is late! The play, Glimpses at the National Pas- time, deserves praise, It is so natural you think you own a place In one of its characters. Your artists, too, Are hard to be rivalled even by a few. Well divided it is, and proud you should be. Another exchange we ' ll be glad to see . THE SCROLL, Toledo, Ohio Quite an interest is taken in your Alumnae, Of their past and present and future to be. The cover of the Scroll is hard to express — How well it is done, — everyone says; But a variety of stories would please the ear ; The exchanges are great, there is nothing to fear. THE HILLTOP, Warren, Mass. Your book, certainly, rates above all. And what is surprising your group is so small. Shakespeare, himself, might well had worries If your poets and novelists wrote then their stories. The photographer must have a Croesus ' s mine. For taking all the pictures in your book, by this time. Great work, friends, try and keep it so. You ' ll always reach the top, no matter how slow.
