Show 34 The Acorn EXCHANGE Fellow Editors: Here is our second issue, which we feel is a marked improvement over the first. We want your candid opinions and most severe criticisms, because we are ever eager to improve our columns. We regret that the Crimson does not quite reach its excellent standard of last year. The following papers would be much improved by a more liberal use of cuts: The Eagle, Lakeonian; Oracle, Bangor, Maine; Oracle, Jacksonville, Fla.; The Whirlwind and The Herald. The jokes in the Oracle, Jacksonville, Fla., are very interesting, but note criticism above. Totem, Seattle, Wash. Keeping your reading material separate from the ads. would enhance the appearance of your paper. The style of your paper, Record, Sioux City, Iowa, is very unique. We especially like your "Freshman's Soliloquy." We were very interested in reading Whims. It is full of good lively stories. Aurora is an excellent paper; it reminds us of the saying, "It's little, but it's loud." Raw Raw Pa Pa Ma Ma Milk Freshman, Freshman, Freshman.

Well, the '10 girl I would call a vision, but that '11, she's a sight." Dignified Junior "I suppose your mother gives you something when you are good?" New Freshie "Naw, me and Bill get's ours when we're bad." Teacher "Now, then, Tommy, see if you haven't sense enough to ask me some questions." Tommy "Please, sir, what would three yards of muslin cost if apples were three cents a yard." Teacher "I think you must take me for a fool." Tommy "Correct, sir, sit down." |
