· anta. Claus has coine and gone, the new year
has 'rolled in upon u , and here we are at our old
places again.
Come! Cheer up ! That long-looked-forward-to
and never-to-be-for-gotten vaca.tion is over, of course,
but perhaps there i& yet something in life worth li'l"ing for.
The little foot-ball man at the head of the Athletic
department has finally heen downed . This is not
his season, and someone should have ordered him

There was a time in the history of this school
when rhetorical!! were con idered a bore. • oone
wanted to be put on the program and noone wanted
to liste n to the unfortunates who couldn't .e cape.

then. It is evident that a great transformation bas
taken place since tho ·e times.
tuden take up
the rhetorical work willingly and the de pairing
wail, "I'm on for rhetoricals," is no longer heard.
The whole school manife ts the proper intere t
toward the \veekly exercises. And this i uot
strange, when we ·ou ider the excellence of some
of th e ri1etot·i cal exerci. es we have li teneri to during the year. What could be more interesting a nd
at t he same time more elevati ng than the Thank gi ving or the hri tlll!l.!' rhetoricals ? Both of them

"Life ancl Adventures uf Jack Brown -Ti ps."
and " san Cal'r's Christma " in the Decemb r
number of the Normal Ad van e are very goorl. We
mi · the exchange . however.
Th e H.igh chool News ft·om Berlin, Wis., is a ne w
exchange that impre . es n very favorably . •·The

amusing story and may prove or aiel to so me or the
boys in the future.

One of om· exchanges says: •·The Crim on can
at ways bon t of a new cover." \\ e think it can
boa. t of much more, for. tak'cn all around, the
' rimsou is one of the b<:st High ehool exchange
we receive. Its cuts and etchings are artistic and
appropriate and it · everal departments show able
management.
The ~ormal Penant is always good , but the December. number is the best we have received. We
con icier its Exchange department the best among
our December exchanges. We, who are just settling
down to a iege of snow and cold, think it strange
that the Pennant says. •·Baseball season is here
again. "
The Colfax Collegian from Colfax, Was h .. is a
new exchange from the far West. It seems to represent a mall but very progressive school. The
Decem bet· number contains a good arti ·leon "A
