Reed, Lelia H Sprague, “This flower is fuller of the sun Than any our pale North can show; It has the heart of August won. And scatters wide the warmth and glow Kindled at summer's mid-noon blaze, Where gentians of September bloom; Along October’s leaf-strewn ways, And through November’s paths of gloom.” IN the fields and by the roadside the beautiful golden rod, em- blem of encouragement and pre- caution, is blooming; and today its namesake, The Golden Rod of our school, is sent forth for the first time, carrying with it a message of greeting and good-will from' the pupils to all who may receive our offering in their homes. May it prove as worthy of their attention as the lovely, sunshiny flower whose name it bears. s this is our first attempt, Our Venture was among the names proposed, but al- though that tells a little story in itself, the name of our national flower was unanimously chosen. As we have previously men- tioned, the name is emblematic of encouragement, so when we are weary and discouraged, when we are about to despair of accomplish- ing some task, we may think of our Golden Rod and take heart once more.

R. After greeting all our friends most cordially, and introducing The Golden Rod to the public, we think it only appropriate to give our readers a brief description of our school. First let us walk up High School avenue into the large yard, and view the building. One will undoubtedly say, “It is not very attractive looking.” Very true, but he must remember it was erected in 1851, so it has resisted the wear and tear of two-fifths of a century. Our rooms are not fur- nished with oak or chestnut, but as the result of our labor we have succeeded in adorning our walls with a few pictures and busts of some of our distinguished states- men and orators; also with two silk flags, and these we count more precious than highly polished fur- niture. Our Miller grand piano is an instrument of which we are all proud, and it presents a very at-
