Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Page 11 text:

EDITORIAL A yearbook is meant to serve as a tangible represen- tation of the school year. However it should not only record the teams, clubs and events, but also capture the spirit and essence of school life. This is the intention of SLOGAN 1984. In keeping with the many changes that have taken place within the school over the past year, the yearbook has changed as well. Perhaps the most obvious changes are the divider pages and cover. Rather than using photographs, we have decided to use the talents of some of Branksome ' s art students. Ruth Beatty ' s drawings, although cartoons, accurately capture many of Branksome ' s different personalities. Jennifer Kim ' s graphic introduction to the Art and Literary section provides contrast to the lighter side of the book. Another significant change occurred in the presentation of the staff pictures. A new section was added, entitled Academics . This section not only includes depart- ment pictures of the staff, but also candids of students and teachers both in and out of the class. W e have focussed more sharply on academics, realizing after all that they are the raison d ' etre behind the Branksome community. All of these changes in structure have been enhanced by the many new layout ideas that have been used throughout the book. These ideas are results of the clever planning and creativity of Ruth Beatty and Emily Stephenson. Section editors, Theresa Hoefenmayer, Marci Hartill, Kathy Kendall and Jennifer Kim, not only collected and organized the material required for their sections, but did the layout as well. Despite recessive business conditions, Valerie Korinek persevered, not only filling the required number of advertising pages, but eventually turning people away. Our photography staff of Sally Pitfield, Sheila Ross, Vicky Peters and Andrea Dinnick took hundreds of terrific pictures, enabling us to include more candid pictures. As you can see, the production of SLOGAN 1984 has been the coUaberated effort of many different people with a variety of talents. We, the staff, feel that this past year has been a vintage one that SLOGAN 1984 will allow you to remember and enjoy for years to come.
