EDITORIAL. Great things are afoot for next term, and it has been officially announced that the School is to take over the Choir School. We know that our Headmaster is a man of action, but this is by far the most enterprising step he has yet taken. Many rumours are in the air, one being that a dormitory in the School House is to be used as a dining-room, the inmates presumably sleeping on the tables which are unluckily always laid for breakfast in the evening. Some of the more conservative of us are wondering just how matters are going to work out, but we realise in the back of our minds that even now Mr. Kittermaster is working on intricate theories and making out complex time-tables to combat any difficulties. This term the health of the School has been comparatively good, although Castle House had a dose of chicken-pox. Towards the end of last term three or four of our numbers were afflicted with tinia cruris— not scrum-pox which, we would like to point out to rumour-mongers, is a quite different and more uncomfortable disease. Recent Vigornians have been surprisingly lacking in contributions ; this term we cannot boast of even one. Intellect of likely autho'S in the Sixth Form seems to have been sapped by Higher Certificate exams., but we feel there must be talent elsewhere in the School and hope that this unhappy state of affairs will not continue in the future. Meanwhile let us apply our minds to wishing the School a prosperous outset on its new era next term. We regret that the necessity for economising paper has meant a severe rationing of space in this number of The Vigornian, and its issue without a cover.
