VOX FLUMINIS EDITORIAL STAFF '4 Editor GWEN RAMSAY Committee: EDNA PINFOLD, Business Manager MAURINE STUART, LYDIA KLEIN, ISOBEL HVUTCHISON H Class Representatives: MARGARET GRABAN, CATHERINE BINGEMAN, BETTY Jo MCCARTEN, HELEN MCLEAN, MARIAN BOOTH gclitorial PRIL sunshine and April showers warn us that the time is drawing near for the seventh copy of Vox Fluminis to go to press. Sighs of relief are heard from the Magazine Staff as the task of encouraging girls to write, assigning the work, collecting advertisements, correcting and copying manuscripts, and compiling the magazine is almost over. However, there are pangs of regret when we realize that weeks of pleasure, in spite of minor worries and disappointments, are drawing to a close. It is with the aim of keeping, in years to come, some true record of our accomplishments and efforts, our hap- piness in school activities and friendships that years at Riverbend have aHorded us, that we send forth this work. Perhaps a picture, a fragment of a poem, a sentence of a story will bring to you more vividly some elusive mem- ory of your school life. This little book has been an honest effort and we only hope that in reading it you will find as much pleasure as we found in compiling it. The river flows on around the bends of lifej Once again Vox Fluminis has been sent forth and we hope that in the future the Magazine Staff will find smooth sailing and a safe port. RIVERBEND, May, 1936.
