YYINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 55 V l XCHANGES 'l'he Lisbonianf' L i s b o n High School, Lisbon, Maine. You have a very compact and interesting year book, The only improvements would be the addition of more drawings and more photographs of the athletic teams, clubs, etc. VVe like your department for school notes with the descriptions of the clubs and dances. as it gives us an idea of the ac.- tivities of your school. The Corona Bridgton High School, Bridgton, Maine. Yours is one of those nice, all-around year books -not too much emphasis on one department or too little on another, Your small French section is good and more so as not very many schools have any. '4Academy Review, Foxcroft Aca- demy, Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, Let me congratulate you., also, on your clever drawings and numerous photographs. They add much to the attractiveness of a magazine. XVe wonder what happened to the senior pictures though? Your literary department has quality but don't you think it lacks quantity? Pine Needlesf' Mattanawcook Aca- demy, Lincoln, Maine. You certainly have a fine, well illustrated year-book. It is only through photographs that We are able to visualize another school and I think you have done well to have so many pictures. You also have an interesting literary department.

And with soft caress touched the ground. This blanket so soft and white ls biding the world good-night. From my Window I can see The spot where my garden used to be. There in sweet and soft repose Sleeps the gentle fragrant rose. Each Flake that drifts before my eyes Suddenly, by the Wind, is whirled high, To be tossed about in merry glee And then they are set free. Suddenly breaking through the dreary sky, Came the sun in brilliant splendor This picture that before my eyes did lie And its beauty, I shall long remember. Alida Bowens, ,38
