EDITORIALS. The Goldenrod once more welcomes back to school students and teachers, old and new. We have another year ahead of us and we hope it will be a pleasant and profitable one for all. The day before Thanksgiving we said goodby to Miss Brown who has taught in the English Department in our school for several years. We hope she will be very happy in her new life. Tin; first step towards making The Goldenrod a school paper has at last been taken ami has found expression in the election of one staff representative from each of the lower classes. Such an arrangement, it is hoped, will not only main- the paper more interesting to a large num- ber this year, but will also make it better in years to come. One who has held an office, how- ever inferior, on the editorial staff must acquire some knowledge of the duties oi an editor and should, therefore, prove of invaluable assistance to the succeeding staff. The s afc hopes that each class will do its utmost to male? the 1914 Goldenrod stand pre-eminent among all Golden- rods, past and to come. School assemblies in the past have been few in fact, the school has met as a whole only about seven times within the last two years. It has been the custom at these meetings to have either a lecture of reproof from the principal, or a talk by an outsider on some subject directly or indi- rectly connected with the school. But now a new plan has been established,— namely, that these meetings shall occur once a week, lasting from ten minutes to three quarters an hour. These assemblies will be opened with devotional exercises followed, perhaps, by a song or two, and then school notices and a short ad- dress. At these exercises a student, also, may have the privilege of speaking to the school. The first of these assemblies was held Friday, the twenty-first of November. At this meeting Mr. Collins outlined his plan for future meetings and made a strong plea for a greater display of school spirit. At the close we were also favored with a short talk by Captain Young concerning the football games and the enthusiasm he would like to have the school show. We firmly believe that these assemblies will be a great help to our school.
