THE NEW ERA 9 EDITORIAL Years from now, when some future student of Brandon Collegiate picks up this year’s copy of “The New Era,” he will probably think, “That was published in the first year of the war.” Strangely enough, our school life has not been greatly affected by the war except perhaps to give History classes, and sometimes Prose classes, more significance and interest. We are fortunate to be able to continue to live and go to school in a normal manner. In the near future, we believe, there will he an urgent need for educated, rational and sane citizens to carry our country forward after the war. This year we have gained, here in the Collegiate, a little more of that experience and training to carry us on. In this issue, we have created a new section, “International Friend¬ ship” and we hope that it will prove interesting. We are grateful to Ann Gloch for originating the idea. Music has again become a factor in Collegiate life. The (ilee Club with Miss E. Strachan and the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. J. A. Ashley have been doing excellent and constructive work. One of the finest things about our school life this year is the oppor¬ tunity afforded to gain information and valuable experience in subjects in which we are most interested. For those with a political turn of mind there is the Discussion Club; for the musical, the Glee Club or the Orchestra; for those with acting ability, the Dramatic Society; for the sports-loving, the Athletic Association; and always an interested and willing teaching staff. As I complete this editorial, bombs are being dropped over Bel¬ gium, now a four-day-old victim of German aggression; Winston Churchill has just become prime minister of England; and Italy is hourly expected to enter the war. I sincerely hope that future editors may write their editorials in time of peace and that our efforts now will contribute something to their school life then. —MARION EPTON. in Jflemortam It is with deep regret that we record the passing of Charles Boles, a member of IIE class. We extend our sincere sympathy to the members of his family in their bereavement.
