BOOK Page 17 EXCHANGE By FRANCES CADZOW, Secretary This department of the Year Book, although not so large as we would like it to be, is important in establishing friendly relations with other schools. The kindly criticisms and suggestions offered by other Year Books, help us to improve our own magazine. We regret the small number of publications received this year, but we are sending out more Year Books to distant schools, so that by next year we should have a really large exchange. We wish to thank all those schools which have sent their maga¬ zines to us, and we look forward to seeing their issues of 1935. “The Analecta”—C.C.I. Calgary—C.C.I. comes up to its usual high standard in this Year Book. Artistic work deserves particularly high praise. “The Bugle”—C.H.C.I., Calgary—A well-organized publication. Cartoons and write-ups are very good. The cover design might be improved, however. “The Argosy”—Victoria H.S., Edmonton—A compilation of monthly papers, making a bright, peppy Year Book. It shows plenty of school spirit. “Ye Flame”-—Regina, Sask.—An attractive book with very good cuts. We liked the cartoons and artistic headings for each section. “The Oracle”—Woodstock, Ontario—An outstanding magazine with good cartoons and splendid organization. “The L.C.C.I. Review”—London, Ontario—One of the best we have received. A clever cover design and an all-round good magazine. The College Times”—Charlottetown, P.E.I.—A very interesting book with exceptionally good literary work. The athletic write-ups are excellent. “The Muse”—Malvern C.I., Toronto—This is, without exception, the best Year Book ever sent to us. Remarkable artistic talent is sj own. The write-ups and literary section are of a very high quality. Malvern may wfell ' be proud of this excellent issue. - ■■ sir ' « V ••
