BETTY JOHNSTON Editorial S IS traditionally remarked, the editing of the School magazine is a lot of work, well-tempered with a good deal of fun. As this year's Editor, we again make this very true if rather hackneyed remark- heartily agreeing with it-up to a point-the point where we have to begin to write our editorial. There the fun ends! For you see, an editorial is a very difficult article to write. There must be certain customary sayings in it that are always said, and which the general reading Riverbend always expect-the fun, the work, the failure to begin early enough and a crowd of other such cliches. Into this one must also work touches of gay humour and sly wit, all bound together in the most polished sample of our own inimitable style. That is the task that now confronts us. 2B or not 2B-as the slightly inebriated gentleman remarked before his suite door. Well, yes, we rather feel that the editorial is to be. And, hoping, though with little conviction, that it will not be an unoriginal one land feeling by this very remark most unoriginalj-here goes. There was a desperate last-minute rush and the usual forgotten articles. We do want to thank all those who combined to make this magazine what we hope will be a success, that is, the Council of course, Miss Grant, our business manager, all our advertisers and also Peggy Murray who, though not a member of the magazine staff, gave us such valuable assistance. And-we are glad our editorial is finished. Or- almost finished. For we have not yet mentioned the new departure of our magazine-its diierent cover and colour scheme in recognition of the School's change of uniform. We feel that we are setting a new tradi- tion of grey and scarlet for Vox Fluminis, and for this reason our maga- zine is very significant, though we're not quite sure of what-unless, of course, its significance lies in the appropriateness of the colours. You see we're grey with work before the magazine appears, scarlet with embarrassment afterwards. However, hoping you will not be repulsed by this rather feebly facetious article, we will take no further space but present instead-our 1938 Vox Fluminis. '
