4 SAMARA €b(toriaI FOR the third time, we returned to school in September under conditions of war. We are far from the battle fields and often the war has seemed unreal. But this year it has been brought home to us. More and more of our fathers, brothers and friends are serving in the fighting forces; everyday commodities are hard to get and some are rationed; events in the Pacific have made us realize that it can happen here. Every girl from the Sixth Form down to the First is affected by the war and wants to do something to hasten the peace. During Empire Youth Week everyone wrote an essay on their conception of the responsibilities of youth. This aroused much interest and long dis- cussions were held. What we are fighting for, and what we hope to achieve were the main topics. We are realizing more and more that the success or failure of the peace after this war is the sole responsibility of us, the Youth of the World. This year war work has taken an important place in our school life. Through our Christmas bazaar, an experiment which I hope will be repeated, we realized $525.00 for the Red Cross British Prisoners of War Fund. With a weekly contribution of at least one cent a week by each girl, we have been able to send parcels of ' ' sweets to Plymouth, Coventry, London and other bombed areas. We have sent bundles of hand-made garments and candies to Mrs. Vincent Massey. Wonderful contributions have been made to the Red Cross, Federated Charities and the Poppy Fund. We are all trying to buy as many War Savings Stamps as we can. Y e were glad to be able to continue our support of the Elmwood cot in the Nasic Hospital in Nasic, India. Both a senior and a junior St. Johns Ambulance First Aid Course have been started and are well attended. Many of our present Elmwoodians are familiar with places that others have not had the opportunity of visiting. In view of this, we have started a travel section and we hope that it will be of interest. The entries in the short story competition were excellent and we regret that, owing to space, we cou ld publish so few. We were exceedingly sorry to lose Miss Stewart last June and we welcomed Miss Spencer in her place, as English mistress. We should like to thank everyone who worked for the magazine: the m.agazine staff. Miss Spencer, Miss Edgar and the Advertizing Committee who made the publishing of Samara possible, Mr. Rowley Hooper for his great as- sistance, the mistresses and girls who so kindly typed the manuscripts for the printer, the artists who drew the many posters and last but not least, the, members of the Prefect ' s Sitting Room, expecially Anne Binks and Betty Cald- well for their help in proof reading and doing anything else they could do to help. We hope that Samara, 1942 will merit your work. We wish the best of luck to those who are leaving us and to both them and the returning we say you could not have a better Motto than that of Elmwood, Summa Summarum, Highest of the High.
