EXCHANGES A DREDGER UPON hoisting the sails of The Crimson and Gray and embarking upon the sea of high school magazines we find in the dis- tance The Dial, Brattleboro High School, Brattleboro, Vermont. The B. H. S. students have printed their entire magazine in sepia giving it a character different from other mag- azines. Their cover suggests a travel theme which is carried throughout the magazine by travel editorials of contrasting ideas, a story written in French, and on down to In Praise of Shanks ' Mare. Here is a poem we es- pecially liked. Moon-Whisper The quiet moon slipped silver hands Upon the sill. Her pale voice was The glimmer of an echo or A forgotten thought, reborn in sleep. She whispered: once there were two moons; The clouds took one and shattered it On mountains sides. It bounded back In silver bits— she called them stars. Betty Mosher ' 35 The Record, North High School, Worces- ter, Massachusetts. Wanderlust Over my ledger I can see The giant ships go down the bay, And there ' s not one of them but holds My heart aboard as a stowaway. And one will steam to China Sea And one will swing around the Horn And, oh, I ' d be a happy lad If I were sailor-born. One golden day I ' ll break my bonds And close my books and wander free, And then another pale-faced lad Will add my figures up for me. John Houlihan As Others See Us From The High School Record, Camden, New Jersey. The March edition of the Crimson and Gray featured Alice in Wonderland. Not only was this a clever idea, but also a timely one. The illustrations and cuts throughout the book took the form of characters from this renowned book. We admire your neat- ness and the unity of all the work. Complete is the word, we can say That describes The Crimson and Gray. From The Dial, Brattleboro, Vermont. The Crimson and Gray published by the students of Mary E. Wells High School, Southbridge, Massachusetts, features Alice in Wonderland. It ' s indeed a pleasure to note the completeness, the orderliness and general make-up of this magazine. All your editorials are commendable for their subject matter and method of presentation. On Reading the Newspaper surely hits on a deserving sub- ject. Cute seems the word to apply to the manner in which you conclude your magazine —all in keeping with your central theme. The lack of poetry is quite evident— surely there must be some poetic geniuses hidden away in the dark corners of your school building! Rout them outl The cuts are well worth their accorded space. The alumni notes are brief to almost too great an extent.
