EDITOR'S NOTE

Here is the second issue of Tribune for the year 2000.

We've decided to redesign the newsletter logo to be more reflective of the issues facing RGS in the new millennium. The seamless interlocking of the three circles, bearing our school colours, represent the close interaction between staff and pupils in our school. All in all, the Tribune logo looks more sleek and progressive, and we hope you like it.

Once again, our budding reporters and journalists have produced a variety of articles for your enjoyment. In this issue, you can look forward a daring revelation of the lives of several staff members in the school, as well as a satirical take on the Student Congress. Read Tribune's very own David Letterman-inspired Top 10 list of Prep time occupations in our centrespread for some quick comic relief, then discover the truth behind the much maligned and often misunderstood form of student entertainment, IRC. An interview with our newly installed principal, Mrs Deborah Tan, covers her hopes and dreams for the future of RGS. Last but not least, we have a simile-spouting secondary one member to tell you what our school is like through the eyes of a newbie.

Hope you enjoy this issue!

Joycelyn
