EDITORIAL It is significant that this edition of the Slogan should arrive at the beginning of another decade. More and more, people are realizing that not all traditions are good ones; without some transition, institutions will eventually stagnate. Such is the case with the yearbook. The Slogan you see before you is not a rehashing of past yearbook ' s efforts, but a tangible construction of how the editors perceive this year. The overall look of the yearbook is, I think, entirely different from previous years. A lot of the changes are very visible: for the first time, the Junior School is completely contained in its own section, in keeping with the editors ' belief that distinct formal sections best complement each other and best represent the entire school. A boarding section has been added for the same reason. Witness also the introduction of features concerning everyday events in school; these have been inserted to show what has made this year distinct from others. The more significant changes have occured at a subtler level. The Slogan is extremely professional in design, largely because of Lise Hafner ' s talents. Copy is more abundant than it has been in previous years because of the efforts of Kate Wiley. There are superb photos which really tell a story. And most importantly, a great many more people were involved in production than usual. Putting together a yearbook has never been an easy job. Pressures of school make it a phenomenally hard task. The unmatched photography of Marg Gooderham and Vicky Bassett, and the outstanding editorial capabilities of Molly Falconer have been invaluable. Marg Lawson, a superlative business manager, filled the entire ad section in under two months. Jill Adams, Bryn MacPherson and Anne Clements managed to produce some of the best sections of their kind in recent memory. Joy Waldie was on hand at all times to help in every conceivable way. And finally, the unfailing dedication of Mrs. MacGregor in her first year as staff advisor has held together a frequently fragile operation. Their efforts are ones which should be appreciated by the entire school. Finally: a yearbook should not remain static. There should be no standard prescribed format to follow. The editors decided to add eight more pages to this edition, but this should not deter others from shortening, or even adding to these dimensions. Nor should age dictate eligibility to help. Three of our editors were from grade twelve; in future, the editorial staff should be made up of students from all grades. Enjoy the yearbook, or be critical of it, but above all, react to it. I think you can look through it and say, THIS was 1980. The Branksome community was saddened to learn of the death of a recent graduate, Pippa Harris. While at Branksome, Pippa contributed a great deal to the school. She was Scott clan chieftain, a Prefect, Junior School Liason and a Slogan editor. Talented in art, Pippa won the Helene Sandoz Perry Prize for art and was an Ontario Scholar. She is sadly missed by all.
