A new year and a new look! Voyageur '80 is a different magazine this year. It still records the comings, goings and doings of the hilltop people but it does so in a new way. We hope you will enjoy perusing its pages. We have added colour to this year's book. The spec- tacular photographs of Lu Taskey are rendered even more arresting and entertaining by this change. The colour photography supports the ongoing effort of Voyageur staff to make the book more a magazine and less a yearbook - report. We have, as you will see, borrowed ideas liberally from many places and we are indebted to the publications that have inspired us. We should also mention that this is the sixth Voyageur to be published by National School Services in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The skill and the craftsmanship of their effort is clear on every page. A special word of thanks is owed to our representative, Wayne Joe Sweet, whose interest and encouragement have helped the Voyageur become what it is. Also, we wish to thank our girl in Winnipeg Ann Rudkevitch for her tireless efforts in making sure that our book goes through the press without a hitch. Our opening section was looked after by Dean Kelley who did much of the layout. John DeVries, Steve Kane, Albert Chang and Peter Kwok did much of the actual reporting. Steve Dick reports on our Faculty in a section. The House Section was prepared by VOYAGEUR staff, Editor Chris Munn, Andy Knight and Nick Brink. Drama was also organized by the staff but it contains some very good reviews of plays by Glen McGregor, Andy Abramson, David Roman and Staffer Nick Brink. Martin Rabbetts edited our sports section and contributed some fine articles on Football and Basketball. Chandra Krishnan tells is all about Soccer and Mike Heslop focusses on the racquet sports. Our equestrian expert Harvey Ng tells us what happened in Riding. Matt Rose directed reporting in our Special Events section which includes some very fine reports from Jack Ross on Opening Days. Jack Ross also contributed the piece on House Dinners in the House Section. With Jeff- Ratz directing reporting, Michael Yik turned in a fine piece on Daily Life. Our new Literary section provides some interesting reading. The jury, composed of John Brdar, John Brennan and Blake Melnick - who is camera shy - selected some interesting work by John de Vries, Dag Spicer, Andy Freeman, Blake Melnick, John Brdar, Ross Jones, Steven Schmidt and others. No accounting of our menu would be complete without mention of the work of staffers Robert Kenig, Bertram Poon and Jeff Forde. Also, there is need to explain that none of this would be in print if not for the help of Mrs. Reta Clark and John Lockyer. We hope you have a good read! , J BILL GF FARE ?
