" Once more it is the duty of the editors to write an editorial." How many times have we started an editorial and torn it up; how many editors have racked their brains to think of something original on which to write ? Many people may never read the editorial, but some of those who do, consider that for a magazine to be a success, a really good editorial is essential. Only one question remains, what is a good editorial ? It may be a reference to some particular instance of school life; it may be one expressing the enjoyment or otherwise we have had during the last term. But whatever the contents are, the purpose is always the same, to give an introduction to the magazine for those who wish to read it, and possibly to fill up a little space for those who do not. During this last year, some of the strangest pages in the annals of the school have been written, and it is now almost certain that next term will see us re-established in our ancient home of Worcester, in time to celebrate there—though doubtless with modest war-time ceremony —the Fourth Centenary of our Foundation. We shall be glad to return, because to be away from Worcester, and all it means—the Cathedral and College Hall, the river and the playing-fields, the quiet of College Green and the convenience of the town—is like being away from home. At the same time, our joy cannot fail to be tinged with regret. We have been so kindly treated in our exile that it could not be otherwise, and this year will always be treasured in our memories as most exciting and enjoyable and above all, good training to teach us to adapt ourselves to changing conditions, and to make the best possible use of our facilities.
