Soff and fair, gentlemen; never look for birds of this ear in the nests of the last. — Don Quixote. The above may be somewhat cryptic. May we explain? Life, and all that it concerns is ever changing; and without variety, which is the spice of Life, the World would indeed be a dull place. Change, then, is our theme. There were rumours at the close of last Term that Things will be different next Term, Few of us, we think, were prepared for the vast changes and improvements which had been effected during the long Vac , We opened the main door, blinked and looked again. We saw that the corridor had been extended to the Junior Library, and that the former D and E room had now become two distinct classrooms — and w hat a boon this change has proved to be ! On all sides we saw a restful colour-scheme of slate-grey and white, both up and down stairs. The Dining Hall had been made more attractive than ever and rubber silencers had been placed on all the chair-legs. In the Kitchen, three new ranges and a thermostat heater had been installed. A miracle was wrought in the sacred portals of the Common Room. One would like to call it a Lounge, but the word does not rhyme with Schoolmaster ! And so to the changes in the Staff. Alas ! that these chang-es have to be ; but we would point out here that, with the exception of Mr, Benson, no change was made in the actual Matriculation staff. We had to say Good- bye to him, also to Mr. Myers and Mr. Pattisson, with very deep regret. Mention has been made of each elsewhere, and also of their successors. Mrs. Thompson is now looking after the inner man , and the commissariat is even better now than it has ever been, which is saying a very great deal. She has already earned our gratitude for her care of us. It was chiefly due to her that we celebrated All-Hallow E ' en for the first time for many years. Mr. Thompson is our new House Master, and one always feels that he has some new change up his sleeve. He, too, deserves our heartiest thanks for all he has done, and is doing for Ashbury.
