8 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN EDITORIAL This may be the shortest editorial you have ever read, for its purpose is simply to introduce our magazine — even though you have, no doubt, read everything else first! On pubHshing this ' ' best ' Slogan ' ever we reflect upon the past months of preparation. Remember that suggestion box crammed to capacity, and the flood of contributions? — (at least that is how it was on the dead-line day!). We even re- sorted to appeals in poetry and en Frangais, and to Slogan buttons ! — But that is all behind us. Now, at last, we are going to press. We have tried to follow most of your suggestions, and here is the finished product ! We hope that you will remember the year ' s highlights better with the class and team pictures, the picture of the school dance, the log , the expanded sports, grad and clan sections — your suggestions now fully realized. Before we fulfil our promise to be brief, we should like to express our gratitude to the advertisers for their continued support, to the staff for their helping hand, to our hard- working committees, and especially to a small, versatile group without whom there would be no Slogan . Thank you, Branksomites. Even though you were modest in not wanting to display your literary and artistic talent, you were kind enough to let us extract it from you. And now, return to and enjoy your Slogan . THE EDITOR
