ALTHOUGH we gladly wel- comed the long summer vaca- tion, we all eagerly awaited the opening of the fall term, and re- turned to school with renewed en- ergy, eager to resume our studies. We were very sorry to miss a few familiar faces, especially that of our beloved principal. The High School building, as was expected, was crowded to its utmost, and ’97 was invited to extend its vacation for a short time, until new accom- modations might be prepared. The class from the Annex has t how joined us, and we regret very much that we arc deprived of becoming acquainted with the new class on account of the present arrange- ment. A new board of editors has been chosen for the Golden Rod for ’93-’94, and we hope that the paper will be cordially received by everyone. MCG. The schoolroom should not be regarded as a mere place wherein to recite lessons, with bare walls and no decorations, but should be looked upon as one of the most cheerful of places. The teachers alone cannot accomplish this. They need the co-operation of the pupils. What months could be better suited to these decorations than those of autumn ? Now may be found all the beautiful varieties of autumn flowers and bright col- ored leaves. These abound every- where, and the golden rod is seen in field and on the roadside; and what would be more suitable for the decoration of the Q. H. S. than this bright flower, for which its paper is named? Surely with this object in view, a fresh bunch of flowers every day for the piano would not be amiss. mcg. On returning to school after our vacation, we were all much disap- pointed not to find Mr. Tupper present. After school opened it was announced that Mr. Tupper was quite ill, and would not be with us for some time. Later de- velopments proved his case to be typhoid fever. We all sincerely hope that he may very soon recov- er and return to us. Owing to Mr. Tupper’s illness, Mr. W. C. Akers (Wesleyan University) has been elected to serve as substitute until his return f. The High School building, which was crowded last year, is even more so this year. The class just entering is larger than the other three classes combined, and the building, which accommodates the three higher classes tolerably well, cannot shelter any more. Owing to this fact the scholars of the class of ’97 have teen obliged to attend school after the classes of ’94, 95 and ’96 have been dis- missed. This is not pleasant either for the scholars or the teachers, but it is the best arrangement that can be made for them at present. This crowded condition seems to demonstrate the necessity of hav- ing our new building at once. F.
