We, the editorial staff of the Vox Fluminis wish to thank the girls who have worked and contributed to the 1947 school year book. There was a great deal of fun in spite of the high prices and the difficulty of obtaining material. We started the book with plenty of enthusiasm and a theory that nothing would be printed that the girls themselves wouldn't like to read. We thought a few notices on the class-room black boards would be a sufficient reminder and Warning to start the literary contributions coming in. That was our first mistake. Oh, yes! There were may more mistakes. They were corrected. We decided that all the material would be in by the Easter holi- days. Was it? No, it was not. So it was decided that the dead- line would be stretched over the holidays to see if that wouldn't produce some efforts. A' bit discouraged we made the best of what we had. Hours were spent reading and re-reading the girls' poetry and stories. The pictures were taken, the cuts made, and the last minute rushes such as this editorial were sent to the printers .... Possibly the book is not as you would have arranged it, but the book is yours and what you made it. The literary contribu- tions are yours, the pictures are yours, and the books is yours and all that is in it. Riverbend has lived eighteen years and with the school has grown the Vox Fluminis. But even if the Vox Fluminis isn't quite up to what we thought it would be we were right in saying that it would be fun editing it. Page Three

PRINClPAL'S LETTER Dear Girls, IT is astonishing how quickly spring follows spring, and Vox Fluminis follows Vox Fluminis. What confidence we have that spring really follows spring! It shows we really do believe God's in His heaven, all's right with the world. We take so many things for granted, and forget to be thankful. Spring will follow springg where will you be, say, twenty springs from now? You will have changed a great deal, but at heart you will have the same characteristics which you are developing now. Some of you will perhaps be in positions of great responsibility, you may even fhorror of horrorsj be teachers! Some of you will be married and have homes of your own. You will be fussy about the very same things regarding which you think your mothers are so fussy to-day. What kind of wives and mothers will you be? And what changes will there be at Riverbend? Larger buildings? a swimming pool? a garage for helicopters? These things may or may not be, but Riverbend's tradition and reputation in twenty years fas at the present timej depends on you-and you-and you. The future of a school depends on its students. You are giving your school its reputation by your courtesy, your consideration for others at all times, by your moral standards, your courage and your loyalty, much more than your academic success. Cultivate these qualities and your future and Riverbend's are secure. Yours affectionately, Page Four
