Some reluctantly face up to the fact that the pleas- ures of vacation are soon to be ended, others welcome the return to routine with almost a sense of relief. To all, however, the approach of Sep- tember must eventually, inevitably, mean the return to the books. VVhile the boys fret about the coming of the school year, actual preparations have been long underway. As early as lllarch and April the Dean was administering entrance exams and setting up the rosters for the year. The administration has throughout the summer been making plans, setting up schedules, and working out class lists and room assignments. The SH Book, the student's bible, has, after much effort and multiple alterations, finally gone to press. During the summer the maintenance men have freshened and renovated the campus. Everything is ready. For the boys who had to attend summer school in order to be better prepared to tackle the work of the coming year, school started, in fact, in late June. Summer camp and summer jobs having ended, and trips being now only pleasant vacation memories, the rest ready themselves mentally for the opportunities ahead. Some, through pre- season practice, prepare themselves physically as well for the tough fall schedule of athletics. The faculty drifts back from various parts of the globe-lN'Taine, notably-to undertake another year of teaching. A banquet on the night of Sep- tember 7, gives an opportunity to catch up on news, to exchange jokes, and to compare notes on how much the children have grown. Next day brings a faculty meeting after which lWr. Shriver culminates many weeks of work as Tuck Shop manager by distributing to each faculty member the textbooks and supplies needed in the various classes. Everyone is ready to begin. . yt , ,aww .so vp W4 M49 5 , :fy ,gf j-:3?' 'Q 'Q!Q2? '0 . -- ':.',-' Z 'v' , M ls4r5?'6.Q?w f 4511157 lg... P-eil af: f 6
