THE NEW ERA EDITORIAL Before beginning to write this foreword, I read a host of editorials, each of which was different in form and content. I concluded that it is the editor’s privilege to do exactly as he or she pleases in writing an editorial. With this thought in mind I continue. The members of the New Era Staff here present you with your own year’s work in print, for your pleasure, or (we hope not) your displeasure. You receive the finished article—written, compiled, and printed. Rut these three tasks were much more easily said than done. Before anything could he written for our magazine, it was necessary to secure students with the ability and willingness to work with us. Our New Era Staff being chosen, the members were given an idea of what was expected of them. For the first half of the year, nothing much could he done, as no activity was completed. However the contests got under way, and by the time they were finished, others were coming to a close, and soon the entire staff was hard at work. Upon completion, all the reports were handed in to he checked and typed. The typed matter was next compiled into the present form, spreading the advertisements throughout the book, and the articles in the way you now see them. This last part of our work, though it gave rise to differences of opinion, was quite interesting and enjoyable. While we were occupied with the above work, Mr. Reid kindly assisted us with respect to the pictures for the New Era, the prints of which were sent to Stovel’s in Winnipeg for cuts to he made. Upon their return, we left the rest to the printer and patiently waited for this same finished article to return. The only group who was busy was the Sales Committee with Cliff Kitson in charge of the magazine selling, and Mr. A. Harris in charge of advertising the magazine. The New Era is indebted to various persons not on its staff: to Miss Longley and John Thomas for typing of our material, to Mr. Jerret and his assistant, George Butler, for their help in getting the pictures taken, and to Judge Clement, for his account of the matricu¬ lation class of fifty years ago. In this hook we think you will find several things of special inter¬ est: the picture of Their Majesties King George and Queen Elizabeth, in honor of their visit to our Dominion, the picture and report of the previously mentioned matriculation class, and the biography of Mr. Kirkpatrick. We express thanks to Mr. Bell and the other members of the Student Council for their good sportsmanship in reference to their pictures, and we congratulate the advertising solicitors on their hard work. This book is no longer ours; you have made it yours by your in¬ terest in the Collegiate. The following pages tell of the work of the students of whom the Collegiate may well be proud. ANITA SMITH
