Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Page 6 text:

EDITORIAL It is the responsibilty of a yearbook staff to record accurately the history of one school year. All the elements, the ordinary and the extraordinary, which make that particular year unique must be represented. But life inside a school must be seen in relationship to both national and global events. Thus a yearbook is hke a time capsule which must represent 1983 not only today but also twenty years from now. SLOGAN ' 83 will stand the test of time. A great many changes can be seen in SLOGAN ' 83. We hope that these changes will be met with a great deal of support and enthusiasm. The most obvious change is the soft cover. This change enabled us to cut down costs, so that we did not have to raise the price of the book. More importantly, however, it represents a well needed change. It enabled us to have a more interesting, coloured cover design. The cover chosen was the winning entry from a cover contest which had been held in the fall. Barb Inksater ' s cover was chosen because of it ' s excellent use of colour and because of its efficient use of the front and back portions of the cover. In SLOGAN ' 83 we have put the year in focus by introducing it in terms of Canada and the rest of the world. The book has been entirely reorganized. We have placed faculty, principal, prefects, classes and boarding within a new section called Student Life. We have made more room for candids drawn from the entire school. Within this section we have in- cluded news of the school year as well as the trends and fashions which have made 1983 distinct. The spring events of 1982 are located in BHS news 1982 at the beginning of the book. BHS news 1983 includes news from September 1982 to March 1983. Our efforts would have been wasted if not for the talents of our layout editors Barb Inksater and Alison Carr whose artistic talents have accounted for the variety of layout styles throughout the book resulting in a book with an entirely new look. SLOGAN ' 83 is the product of a group of hard- working and dedicated staff who have striven for excellence in everything that they have done. Jenny Ryder, the assistant editor, is an extremely reHable and dedicated individual. Our section editors, Katey, Julie and JuHa, were always full of new ideas and concepts. Katey single-handedly did the entire Junior School section. Our ad editors, Sloane and Kelly, showed great ingenuity in the face of economic cutbacks. Our photographers, Judy and Sarah, were dedicated and hard working - although occasionally full of surprises! We hope that you enjoy SLOGAN ' 83. Take the time to read it, not merely flip through it. We may be slightly biased, but we think its one of the best SLOGANS ever!
