Page 10 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN EDITORIAL ' ' Ask not what your ' ' Slogan can do for you; ask only what you can do for your Slogan . This is a paraphrase of a well-known statement made by President Kennedy, it is true, but it expresses exactly what the Slogan committee feels. However, through the medium of Advertising and Photography con- tests, which offered tempting prizes, we obtained the results for which we strove. We admit that we kept Branksome ' s long finger-nailed aspiring secretaries typing fast and furiously. Many new committee reports have been added in our book , including one from the very successful and newly formed Drama Club. In future years, we suspect, the Drama Club will be one of the oldies , but it has been one of Branksome ' s fine accomplishments this year. The Dormitory Life has been given more space, as you probably noticed when you flipped through the pages of the Slogan yesterday. Today, as the initial excitement wears off, and the pages become filled with friendly autographs, we hope that you will derive pleasure from this issue of the Slogan and, as years go by, we trust that each one of you will promise to keep her camera poised and her pen in readiness for next year ' s contributions. Many thanks are to be showered on the Slogan committee which fut beaucoup de travail, and gave many suggestions and guidance to the final result. We salute each girl who contributed pictures, poems and write-ups for their submission, whether pubHshed or not. Those whose work does not appear in this Slogan, must remember that there will be other years in which you may develop your talents along the lines of Karsh, Hemingway and Foster Hewitt. Have a good summer Branksomites — you deserve it ! NANCY GELBER
