Every life has a past, a present, and a future. So it is with a country — the past moulds the present and the present decides the future. The present is our oppor- tunity. Canada should have a wonderful future and that future depends largely on the loyalty, character, and education of her peo- ple. Consider her natural resources, as yet practically undeveloped. They in themselves are of great material assistance, but involve many other serious considerations, so still w e ask, How is that future to be obtained? One answer is Immigration. We must have more men and women to people the vast areas of as yet uncultivated soil in our Glorious West. More farms mean more grain, more grain means more food, and a country of plenty is bound to attract desirable people from other nations where perhaps their daily bread is not so assured. Canada is a wheat-grow-ing country, her manufacturies taking a second place. Why should the agricultural side not help in a greater degree that of the manufacturing? Her manufacturing opportunities are unbounded. If it were carefully considered and estimated it w ould be found that a very large percentage of the manufactured products W ' hich are now imported could be made right here in our own country. One might say : But is it good to stop all interchange of goods be- tween friendly countries? That w ould never happen, as there will always be necessities that the climate and conditions will prevent our making. If in place of a factory employing, for instance, one thousand men, factories were built where all products of that nature could be made right here and not imported, the employment w ould increase to many times that number. These people would require homes, necessitating more building, wdiich in its turn would prove a won- derful boon to the lumbermen as well as the many other trades asso- ciated with it ; they would need food, therefore more land would have to be cultivated ; they w ould at some time require the services 18 THE BR NKSOMK SLOGAN of professional men, thus givin - greater sco[)e for the college men. It is practically impossil)le to think of any trade or profession which would not benefit by the increase. To encourage the increase of manufacturing it would of course be necessary to arrange a protective tariff which would enable a Canadian manufacturer to pa ' his workmen high wages and still be able to compete with prcjducing countries which have a low standard of living, unless, of course, the Canadian people become willing to alter their standard to a lower one — which is unthinkable. Apart from the natural increase, the growth in our po])ulation has not been sufficient, y never be sufficient until a plan is con- ceived by our financial geniuses whereby a sound progressive immi- gration policy could l)e inaugurated. Throughout the woe-inflicted districts there must be man}- desirable ])eo[)1e who could do much toward the u])building of our countr} ' , and in so doing greatly better their own condition. If this could be accomplished successfully it would then be our duty to see that these strangers were offered the very best in education, work and amusements for both themselves and their children. If they are willing to gi ' e their very best to us we must first show them that we are eager and fit to accept their offerings. Canada ' s future depends u|)on these things and when one considers our vast resources in minerals, timber, our productive soil, the fur and coal in the North, ouf fisheries in the extreme east and west, the transportation facilities both b - rail and water, the water- powers throughout the whole of the country for the assistance of industrial enterprises ; the many great natural ])laygrounds for relaxa- tion and the upbuilding of health ; the invigorating climate, producing energy upon wdiich success should attend ; does it not seem sinful to waste such a glorious heritage? We have reason indeed to love our Canada and loving it creates true loyalty which arouses a desire to use our talents, strength, and ability in planting high ideals, which make for truth and righteousness. The Pioneers of Canada suffered much to form our beloved Dom- inion. Will w e let their work be in vain? Our men and boys died for their country to enable it to live and grow. Shall we let their gdorious sacrifices be in vain? No! a thousand time, no! People of Canada — the Duty lies with us ! DOROTHY HARDING, Form Y.

HOCKEY The hockey practices l egan soon after the Christmas holidays and Mr. John Tory very kindly consented to coach us again. Our first game was with Havergal, and took place on our own rink on January 23rd. Our passing was poor, but the defence did splendid work. The game ended in our favour, the score being 6 — 4. The next game was at Havergal. The puck was kept much of the time around our goal, and hvc times it was put right in. Havergal gal w on 5 — 1. A third game was played with Havergal. They were again the victors, this time by one goal. The score was 2 — 1. We were fortunate in having a game with University College. It took place on our rink. University College scored two goals. W e plaved them again at the Varsitv Stadium and we were defeated 5—0. The first game with Bishop Strachan ' s was played at F)rank- some.

Y. W. C. A. In October of the past year it was decided to form a branch of the Y.W.C.A. among the Day Girls. Mary Barker was elected the first President. During the year the Day Girls have worked so well in co-operation with the House Girls that we have been able to accomplish more than in previous years. From October 15th to 21st, the annual Ramabai week was cele- brated. On ' ednesday. Miss Armstrong and Esther Peters, of Burma, told of Ramabai ' s work. In aid of the fund we sold each day at recess, hot dogs, ice cream cones and sandwiches, and on F riday the House Girls and Day Girls united in giving an entertainment. This resulted in the most successful collection ever taken for Ramabai in our school, for at the end of the week we were able to send three hundred dollars ($300.00) to Mukti. For our Christmas work this year w e undertook to provide for four poor families. Every girl took great delight in packing the boxes which were made up by contributions from the different classes. All felt amply rewarded when Miss Read read the letters of thanks that showed that our efforts had been so much appreciated. The girls had also brought a Christmas contribution for the University Settlement and with the amount thus collected we bought a picture for one of their club rooms. Besides Miss Armstrong and Esther Peters, who spoke during Ramabai week, we were favoured by having Miss Jean Milne, of the University Settlement, Mrs. McKay, of China ; also Mrs. Donald, of China, and Miss Piatt, of Armenia, who all gave us most interesting- addresses on their work. For the Spring Term we hope to undertake more work and to increase our funds by a very considerable amount. Officers House Girls — President — Norma W h e 1 a n . Vice-President — Margaret McGlashan.

THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 35 The second meeting- was held on October 13th. when Mr. Frank Yeigh gave an ilhistrated address, the subject being Canada from Coast to Coast. On October 27th, the annual Mas(|uerade was held in the gymna- sium, which looked very bright and attractive with orange and black streamers, banners and gay comforters. From among the many pretty and effective costumes, the following were chosen as the prize- winners : Miss Tyrell, as a sailor-lad • Miss Blanchard, as a Jack-in- the-Box ; Margaret Binns and Helen Warwick, as ' The Dice ; Marion Cann, for the smallest costume. Supper served in the drawing--room brought to a close a very happy evening. On January 19th, Fourth Form entertained us with a delightful programme of dances, a short play, piano solos, and recitations. On February 9th, Third Form presented a beautifully staged charade (I — dol) for the entertainment of the school, following which dancing took place. On March 9th, lliird Form portrayed many well-known adver- tisements such as Jell-o. Cream of Wheat, Williams ' Shaving- Soap, etc. Norma Whelan and Grace Cochrane were successful in guessing the greatest number correctly. DOROTHY HARDING (Secretary), Form V. THE YEAR When Winter comes, we think of kings, All w hite with frost and ice and things Which blow us with their mighty breath And almost scare the flow ' rs to death ; Indeed, they have to go below To keep well-covered from the snow. When Spring comes ' round with buds and flow ' rs, We think of ivy-covered tow ' rs ; And baby roots a-pushing through To see what warm Spring winds can do. The tulip, crocus, daffodil And dandelions on the hill. Gay Summer comes with roses red And flow ' rs o ' er all the earth are spread; We hear the birds in twos and threes Giving us concerts in the trees. It is the time when Nature ' s best Reveals its beauty after rest. Autumn then comes last of all. ' Tis when we see the tired leaves fall, For they have w orked the Summer through. Their duty faithfully to do. And so the whole glad year goes ' round. Gathering Nature ' s joy profound CA ' EN. BELL, Form HI, Special. No. 1 — House and Day Prefects. No. 2 — House and Day Seniors. THE BRANKSO IE SLOGAN 37 All current events have dwarfed in significance 1)efore the great discovery of King Tutankhamen ' s tomb — that three thousand year- old resting-place of a glorious Pharaoh. Among the many speakers at the school there were two who created the greatest interest on account of their fame which rests on such fundamental characteristics of human nature — the love of fun and the lure of the unknown. The humourous speaker was Mr. George McManus. His amusing- anecdotes of school days in St. Louis were greeted by the children with peals of laughter and his sketches of Jiggs, Dinty and the family crest were watched with breathless interest during their creation and applauded most vigorously when completed, even to the latest and longest ear-ring on Maggie. Mr. Stefhanson. our own Canadian explorer, as we are proud to call him, shattered our myths about the igloo-dwelling and oil-drinking Eskimo, but reconstructed for us an alluring land of great opportuni- ties- — a land of bright flowers, moths and butterflies. Alas, there are also mosquitoes. The summer days are warm and twenty-four hours long — and even in the darkness of winter there is often not as much snow as we get here in Ontario. Mr. Stefhanson ' s account of the Eskimo language made the children return to their Latin classes with a feeling of relief that it was not Eskimo with its twenty-seven case endings they had to learn. We have had several entertaining gymnasium displays and com- petitions this year. It has been an incentive to each form to work its hardest and it also gave the entire staff an opportunity of seeing some very interesting exercises, dances and games. 38 THE BRANKSOMK SLOGAN One Wednesday, in April we had some very interesting speeches from five members of Form I. Stella Hohiies spoke on The Work for the l hnd in Canada ; Christine Anld on Buddhism ; Phylhs Harvey on Novel Reading; Marjorie Neal on The French Occupation of the Ruhr, and Dorothy Manning on The Efifects of the Recent Discovery in Egypt. Forms I, II, and HIS and IVS formed an appreciative audience. OLGA C. SOMERVILLE. SCHOOL NOTES On Saturday, Navember 11th, Miss Read gave a most enjoyable dance for the House and Day Girls of Forms HI, HIS, IVS, IV, and V. Dancing took place in the gymnasium, which was attractively deco- rated, and sui)per was served in the Scott Heuse. On November 20th, Mrs. (leorge W right gave a most delightful dinner at the Carls-Rite for the Branksome Hall Basketball Team. It vv as very much enjoyed and appreciated. A radio receiving set was fitted up at the school by the Burndept Co. of Canada, Ltd., and a concert given on March 2nd. The set was left in the gymnasium for some time and was of great interest and pleasure to those who tested its power of bringing in clear tones, far away voices, and music. The school held a Christmas Carol service in the Rosedale Pres- byterian Church on December 15th. Mrs. Denton Kennedy trained the girls. Miss Hill presided at the organ, and Miss Wallis, Norma Whalen, Mary Eraser, Viola Cameron and Agnes Rodger played violin accompaniments. Rev. J. B. Paulin gave a reading from the Scrip- tures. The Christmas dinner, with the Christmas Tree, is one of the very merriest occasions at Branksome Hall — merry, except, perhaps, for new teachers and the head girl and those prefects and seniors who are anxiously scanning the toast list where their names appear. Everyone enjoys the tree and w aits anxiously for its gifts, even if Santa does read the accompanying poetical effusion with u-ndue emphasis — and perhaps add a pointed remark of his own. Some jokes are local — Scott House or French goes into convulsive laughter over them. At others, everyone in the school laughs. Perhaps it is a bottle of orange crush, or a toy telephone. Festivities would not be complete without a dance and later refreshments, consisting, of course, of ice cream and cake — the national food of Canada, as Madame Vallet says. Tearful and heartbreaking are the farewells of the school girls. They never expect to meet again ; it is the last time they shall see the familiar faces and halls and run up and down those privileged front stairs. Three w eeks ' holidays ! What an eternity it seems at parting — afterwards, meeting again, how brief the vacation was ! THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 39 A very interesting event every June is the tableaux of famous pictures given by Miss Robinson, the girls for these being selected from the History of Art classes. The paintings thus illustrated are always so well chosen and attractive that we look forward with pleasure to the ones being arranged for this term.

He had ])romised to meet Betty at six o ' clock at the Ritz and his allowance had not yet arrived. He counted his spare change — thirty cents in all ! What was he to do? It being near the end of the month all his college chums were in a similar plight and he knew it was useless to go to them for aid. The Pawn Broker! No, he had forgotten, his watch was already there! Ah, an inspiration ! He dashed to his trunk and recklessly flung his clothes to all sides and dragged forth — a little tin bank (blessings on his mother for having made him save his pennies in his far distant youth). All was well now! He would simply rush into a store on his way down and procure a beautiful five-dollar bill in exchange. Realizing that time was flying, he gral)1)ed his hat and reached the street in two bounds, feverishly clutching his treasure. He flew into the nearest shoj) and breathlessly made his request. No, he must try another ; they did not seem to need as many coppers there. And thus it was all do ■n the line, no one in the wide, wide world seemed to want five dollars worth of cop])ers. He must risk finding some kind waiter who would allow him to pay at the desk alone and unseen. Ah ! There stood Betty, as sweet and adorable as ever. He marched forward, fervently hoping that her appetite would be as small as his fortune. (?) At last they ' ere seated at the little table and for a while Jack was able to forget his troubles in the blissful enjoyment of Betty ' s companionship. But as the fatal dinner came to a close once more he began to feel uncomfortably warm under the collar. He glanced at the waiter as he approached with the check. Did that stony countenance conceal a soft heart ? — He was holding out the check — the critical moment had arrived ! ! ' T v ill pay at the desk, said Jack, in a careless tone, though feeling rather faint. That is not the custom of this establishme-nt, came the icy reply. Four-seventy-five, please. There was no alternative. With burning cheeks he drew out the little tin bank and slowly and painfully dropped four hundred and seventy-five coppers on the metallic plate. The sound echoed and re-echoed throughout the dining-room ; all eyes were turned in his direction. In some way he must reach the door, and yet it seemed miles away. Well, it must be now or never! He slowly rose. W ould his shaking limbs ever carry him to that distant goal? Inch by inch he drew nearer, passing painfully, painfully through the tittering crowd. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 41 Now there were only two more ards to go but he could stand it no longer. With one wild leap, surpassable only by a professional, he reached the door to hnd that it revolved. Round and round it swung — would he ever see daylight again ? Why, he had only brought one Betty and now there were hve, each wearing an expression of utter disgust as she stalked haughtily down the street ! DOROTHY HARDING, Form V. JESSIE WRIGHT, Form IV. HELEN WRIGHT Tennis Champion. 1921-2. 42 THE HRAN K S()]M E SLOGAN No. 1 — Scott House. No. 2- — French House. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 43 SUSIE Susie Boyd was twenty-four, slim, and pretty, yet unlike most young girls of her age and attractions, without a real admirer. Not that many of the girls in Willo ' dale did possess young knights, for the few there were, usually left when very young, to seek a wider mark for their talents, in the distant city. The lack of this had never worried Susie to any great extent, for life was too full of other con- cerns, vet sometimes she did admit that if Evan Buchester had shown any interest in her whatsoever, things might have been different. However, Evan had gone to the city with the others, and was to all appearances forgotten. Susie ' s little cottage stood on the outskirts of the village, and its garden of beautiful English flowers was second to none in the county. She had always preferred to live apart from her neighbours, but since the sensational robbery of the village bank she might have rested more peacefully had there been someone within calling dis- tance. If only a man — but then she laughed. The few old men that decorated the various Willowdale porches in the evenings could hardly be expected to become nightly sentinels against burglars. But her face sobered as an idea flashed across her- mind. Why not manu- facture a man out of the old weather-beaten scarecrow which rested peacefully in the outer shed? Surely if set in the big front window in the sitting room, it would produce an effect realistic enough to ward off midnight invaders. The idea was so fantastic that Susie laughed merrily as she placed a very plausible imitation of a man on a large armchair. That night Susie went to bed, and slept soundly, waking t;be next morning rested and happy. It was Sunday morning and the first peal of the old church bell reached her ear. I ' he figure sitting- erect in the armchair looked extremely grotesque in broad daylight, but it had served its purpose and was therefore to be appreciated. Susie liked to arrive at church a little early in order to hear the news that she otherwise missed by her seclusion. Accordingly she set out, and coming towards the church saw excited groups of people around the steps. Susie approached one of the little groups and en- quired the cause of the excitement. At least four people began to exi)lain the situation to her, and after some painful listening, she gathered that Evan Burchester had ])een seen by Elvirah Hobbs to alig-ht from last evening ' s train in the company of a young lady. Elvirah had not arrived yet. and so no more particulars could be obtained. It was time for the service to begin, so the groups went in to their various pews. After the singing of the hrst hymn, the door at the rear opened, and Evan, handsome and prosperous-looking, entered, and led his mother to the Burchester pew. The service over, Susie left her seat somewhat after the rest and was greeted by the beaming Elvirah. ' ' My dear, she purred, T see that you had callers on Saturday night, or at least one — now don ' t attempt to deny it, for I saw it with my own e3 ' -es. Susie started to reph ' , and then 44 THE liRANKSOM K SLOGAN paused. They were gradually nearing- the door, and Elvirah ' s words had been overheard by several of the loiterers, including Evan. The effect on the latter was quite apparent, and Susie decided to carry on the farce as best she could. Why, yes, she said, blushing- vividly, Jim had a day off, so you saw him sitting by the window. Elvirah murmured some sweet nothings, and hurried away to broadcast her news. Evan, partly from sur])rise and partly from interest, remained rooted to the spot. As Susie turned to go he seemed to become more i conscious of his surroimdings, and going towards her, inquired if he might walk along to her cottage. This advance on the part of the handsomest boy in the village constituted Susie ' s first triumph. As they w ent along the shaded country road, Susie gleaned little bits of Evan ' s life in the city. All those pleasures which Susie craved were everyday occurrences to him. However, he liad not allow ' ed entertainment to have precedence over his work, which was his real life Susie ' s little cottage was reached all too soon. Evan returned homewards thinking of how attractive Susie had become, and with growing concern for her other admirer. As for Susie, her happiness was far too complete for her to think of the young lady who had accompanied Evan out from the city. Perhaps she was a relative. Sunday passed, and Monday dawned clear and bright. vSusie sang as she worked, and in the afternoon, having carefully dressed herself in her prettiest frock, sat down on the verandah to read. It was all in vain, however, for nobody came to her cottage, and at eight o ' clock she decided to go to rest. The weather-beaten scare- croAv lay huddled in a corner, from which Susie drag ' ged it to serve again as a sentinel at the front window. lust as she was turning to go upstairs she heard a knock. There was no time to remove the fatal figure from the armchair, and now the whole village would know of her foolishness. Consequently it was with a heav} ' heart that she opened the jdoor, ' only to come face to face with Evan Bur- chester armed with beautiful roses. Susie was panic-stricken, and dismay w as written all over her face. She would have to refuse to admit him, and seeing her hesitate Evan began to proffer apologies for coming when she had other visitors. Looking extremely down- cast, he turned to go, but Susie even preferred that he should know her awful secret. At her call he turned and followed her very reluctantly into the house. Never could a more astonished person be visualized than Evan Burchester w hen he found himself face to face with his erstwhile rival. Then his astonishment turned to mirth as it slowdy dawned on him how sadly he had been taken in. Susie smiled, too, in spite of herself, because the situation Avas really ridi- culous, and at least Evan wasn ' t quite disgusted with her. But, Susie? asked Evan. Then all w as explained, and they laughed over it all again. When both had regained their former composure, Evan crossed the room and said: Susie, if I have nothing more alarming than that scarecrow to be jealous of, I could really be a model husband. Won ' t you try me, anyway? THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 45 But, Evan, she argued, ' ' who was the person who came with Evan looked a trifle bewildered for a moment, then laughed heartily. ' That, he said, seriously, was my stenographer, who is going to be married next week ; a very clever young lady. But, there, Sue, there is only one girl in the world for me, and I just naturally cannot live w ithout her. Needless to say, Evan did not find it necessary to die ; instead, he found that earthly happiness was too perfect, and he defied anyone to excel — Susie Burchester. KATHERINE ANDERSON, Form V.

As if by magic the curtain was rising on a Gipsy Ballet in which an altogether new l)ut not unheralded dancer, Juanita Forsythe. was to take the ])art of Amarilla. A word about Juanita. A tall, lithe girl v th an abundance of ebon} ' hair, pale com])lexion. large l)rown eyes. ac|uiHne nose, and a pair of very red lips that framed pearly teeth. She had ■orked for many years to become a dancer and this was to 1)e her hrst ])u])lic appearance. For the past two ' ears she had studied under Pavlowa. and to-night was being allowed to take the Gipsy girl ' s i)art. which hitherto had been reserved for the incomparable. Mien she received the letter from her teacher saying that on her oi)ening night she might do Amarilla, Juanita ' s happiness was complete, because it, of all the dilterent ballet characters, had been l est loved by her. ' atching from the wings. Juanita saw the 1)allet go through the stately movements of the minuet: saw the (u])sy chief go into the garden; saw him tell the Gorntess that he had a girl who could show them how to dance ; saw him ask to Indng the girl to them ; saw the hostess grant haughty permission; and lastl} ' . saw the chief leave the garden to come and get her. The minute Jranita ste})i)ed on the stage, she threw herself into the spirit of the dance. Lig ' ht-hearted and care-free, Amarilla flirts outrageously, and with no little success, with the high-])orn courtiers. Fickle and as irresponsil)le as a butterfl}-, she flits from one noble to another, till suddenly she recognizes an old lover, who. though born a peasant, has risen to such heights of power and success that he has won the hand of the Gountess. Amarilla. still in love with him, dances now only to him, in an effort to recapture his lost love. He does not respond; he even appears to l)e annoxed at the attention. But as he repulses her and grows more stonily aloof, so Amarilla 48 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN becomes more wild and passionate, pouring out her longing- for this man in her dance. The Countess, at last, sensing the Gipsy ' s design, and perhaps fearing that her own charms, cold as a Greek goddess, might not be able to withstand the fascination of the hot-blooded Gipsy dancer, paid the chief his fee, and with her guests left the garden, followed shortly by the chief who merely waited to pick up the coins which had been tossed to his dancing girl. Only Amarilla remained, pleading a headache, but in reality, cherishing a faint hope that her lover would relent and come l)ack to her. She wandered about — thinking miserably, yet hopefully. Then he came into the garden with his hand held out to her. Amarilla rushed to him and was al)out to embrace him, when she saw that he had come to her — not with his love, but with a purse of gold. She fell to the ground unconscious, but he walked unheedingly from her. Juanita remained like this for some moments. Then as she came slowly back to consciousness, the applause began. It was deafening, and shouted l ravoes hlled the air. When she came to the foot- lights to bow;, the tumult increased ten times. She made a deep bow. Closing her eyes for a minute, she drank in this praise, hungrily, greedily. It went to her head — she was mad with it all. She opened her eyes, but instead of the glare of the footlight — darkness. She l)linked — again — still no light. Then she remembered. It was only a hopeless, hopeless dream, long-cherished, but never to be realized, for — she was blind. MARY BARKER. OUR TASK A great task is before us, which we are expected to accomplish for the benefit of the world. To a great extent the nations have failed. As a result of national prejudice and ignorance, the Great War of 1914 came. One nation was prejudiced against another, and in- wardly jealous of its accomplishments, and, as Anaxagoras once said: They drew their line cutting the world in two. In politics there is house against house and party against party ; in the church there are divisions and subdivisions innumerable; in the state the rich against the poor, the labourers against t ie capitalists, each despising the other, and fighting for its ow n ends ; and the racial antagonism which is still lamentably strong. Each believes only in its own idea, and therefore cuts the Avorld in two. Judging then from the experience of the nations it would seem that their failure arose from misunderstandings and ignorance of the condition of others, and that the hope of improvement lies in mutual understanding and sympathy between parties and nations. This then is our great task, and in this we must not fail, but win our fight through all obstacles to enable the world to go forw ard in sympathv and unity. SYLVIA DILWORTH, Form II. SCOTT HOUSE 50 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN ON THE TRAIL OF ' 98 One beautiful August day last summer we left Skagway to go for a trip into the Yukon. However, before leaving, we spent an hour or two walking through tliis town. Of the places in Alaska, it is one of the most interesting, as it was from here that the gold-seekers left on their mad rush to the Klondike. Here also lived Soapy Smith, the best known bandit of the north, who robbed and terrorized the miners on their way home from the gold fields. The vegetation is very luxuriant here, because the sun shines so many hours in the day, and because of the moisture. Sweet peas grow each year to a great height, the dahlias are as big as small cabbages, and are shi])])ed to all parts of the c(jntnient. as they keep for several weeks. After passing some time admiring the sights of this town, we had to leave for our train, and it was not long until we were follow- ing the ' ' Trail of ' 98. We wound higher and higher up over the mountains until we reached the Point of Meditation. Below us yawned a narrow gorge about 5,000 feet deep, at the bottom of which rushed a mountain torrent, and behind us gleamed a mirror-like lake situated on the top of a mountain. Soon Ave reached the boundary between Alaska and the Yukon, where we stopped a few minutes to allow a R.N.W.M.P. to get on and examine our baggage. We met this man later on with another member of the Force. They were indeed fine examples of Canadians. For perhaps twenty-eight miles we ran along the ledge of a wonder- ful body of water. Lake Bennett, bordered on the side by towering mountains. The sun brought out their wonderful colours, and wath the brilliant blue reflected in the water made a picture w hich it would be impossible to forget. It was in this peaceful looking lake that the miners met with their greatest difficulties. Then it was the only opening in the mountains, and to get through they must cross the water. A great jagged black rock protruded from the centre, around which swirled the current. On this many a boat was wrecked and outfit lost, and many a man met his death befor e he had even reached the gold fields. On coming to Carcross we got off our train and boarded a little white paddle-wheeled boat which sailed on a river flowing to the Arctic Ocean. At the north rose the snow-capped Saw -tooth Range. The mountains with the sun shining on their crests looked pink, mauve and blue, and with the river reflecting this, one would think they had wandered into Fairyland. We then crossed the end of Lake Atlin, where at the same time one day there was a rainbow at one side of the lake, and on the other a snow storm. When we returned again to the city these lovely sights remained with us, and will always be recalled with pleasure and interest. JESSIE DAVIS, Form III. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 51 3f The morn of victory was nigh ; Nimrod had at hist come into his own! With a tierce roar he awoke his subjects; he w as the mig-htiest of his tribe and all must rejoice. How proudly Nimrod stood, one paw on the vanquished prey. All the brave warriors of his tribe stood by and w atched admiringly the swelling of his powerful chest with the proud consciousness of valor. How splendidly he showed his gleaming teeth and stamped about. Taking the victim by the neck he strode magnificently to the edge of the clearing and threw the body to one side to await his appetite. But one thing more was needed to make this the most glorious of all nights. He paused — a soft sound struck his listening ear ; then he turned to meet his mate, who was daintily picking her way toward him. My hero! she purred. It was the end of a perfect night for Nimrod the Mighty Hunter! HELEN PARSONS, Eorm H. EASTER TIME To make a verse on Easter Time I search my mind for words to rhyme ; Alas ! the rhymes refuse to budge. And Sandman says : To bed you trudge. BETTY SMITH (Age 8) 52 THE BRANKSOA4I{ SLOGAN MY SCHOOL YEAR IN FRANCE The school I was attendinj;- in I rance was just outside the Porte Champeret, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, and really outside the city of Paris proper, although to the eyes of the traveller there seemed to be very little to distinguish between Neuilly and Paris. Tt was merely passing through a gate in the old wall of the city. There were eighteen English, Scotch, American and Canadian girls at the school, and we had a very pleasant life together, though of course we spoke French. We worked from nine to twelve every morning, the lessons being- given in French, and three times a week we had a lecture by one of- the professors of the Sorbonne, in Art, Literature and History. ' The afternoons were interesting, as every day of the week had its ow n ])articular occupation. On Monday afternoon we shoi)])ed in groups of four or five, and we were all very fond of looking for l)ar- gains, in the funny little shops on some of the side streets. Tuesday was the day of sewing, and I must admit I didn ' t find that so amusing. On Wednesday we w ' ent to see some famous building, such as the Church of the Sacre Coeur, the Livalides, the tomb of Napoleon, or the Cathedral of Notre Dame with its beautiful rose windows, its mysterious little treasure chamber, and the red hats of defunct Cardinals swinging from the ceiling. Thursday afternoons were devoted to the theatre, either the Comedie Francaise, wdiere so many old classics are shown, or the Opera Comique, and we always enjoyed Thursda3 ' S — there were such good boufifets at the theatres where one could buy anything from a ham sandwich to a chocolate eclair. On Friday, those who wished rode horseback in the innumerable bridle-paths of the Bois de Boulonge, which was quite close to the school, and at four o ' clock we all had to repeat a piece of French poetr} to the p.rincipal. Saturday was just the same as any other day, as far as we were concerned, and in the afternoon we generally went to one of the many well-knowai museums, such as the Louvre, the house of Victor Hugo, wdiich is filled with his own work, as he was skilled in wood- carving, sketching and china painting, as well as writing ; also the Cluny Museum Avith its many antiques. Sunday w e had to ourselves. It w as very interesting to meet the young people of France and find that they were not so very difi: erent from those of our own country. 1 was really sorry when the time came for me to leave, and some day I hope to pay a visit to the school, as many of the old girls did the year I was there.

They were, indeed, a happy crowd, That quite hlled every sleigh ; The boarders, used to bed at nine, Turned darkness into day — And never were a lot of girls So jolly, 1:)right and gay. At one point of that merry drive. The girls observed the stars ; Saturn and Jupiter they found. And bright, red, glowing Mars. And many were the songs they sang — Mien passing other cars.

SPRING Our lovely Spring is almost here, It brings us all new life and cheer ; It brings us birds and bees and flowers, It fills the woods with leafy bowers : It brings a new nest in the maple tree. It brings tiny blue eggs — one, two, three ; It brings the flash of the blue-bird ' s wing, And a call in his throat — It Is Spring! It is Spring! MARGARET HOLMES (Age 10). THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 65 66 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE FAIRIES ' BALL There was great excitement everywhere in Fairland. There was going- to be a ball ! The ladies had been busy for the last week getting new dresses, and cooking pies and cakes and all sorts of things for the feast. Others were busy fixing the ballroom, printing signs about the ball, and many other things. At last the night of the ball arrived. If you had been there you could have seen many little black coaches running to and fro with their little red lamps burning brightly. At last everyone was there and the dancing started. They had been dancing for quite a while, when suddenly they heard a terrible roar, and the ball-room shook. Run, run, it ' s Giant Thunder ! ' ' cried someone. So everyone ran for safety. Then out dashed Queen Mab ' s guards to the rescue. Some of the guards may have been afraid, but they soon got over it, and Avent on bravely to drive Giant Thunder away. Now, Thunder was a huge giant who towered high above the trees, and he was so strong that the swords of the fairies could not hurt him, so, instead, they tickled him. But the fairies kept on tickling him until finally he laughed so hard that he ran away. So the fairies Avere a1)le to finish their ball in peace, thanks to the guards. And as for the giant, I think he is laughing yet. I TET.EN RICPTARDSON (Age 11), Jr. TIT. THE RETURN OF SWEET SPRING Spring is coming! Spring is coming! Cry the birds from overhead.

THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 67 THE BUTTERFLY Oh, butterfly, fly with g-auzy wings. You fly about all day ; You fly to the tune the robin sings. You should always be happy and gay ! Your wings are of yellow, purple and gold, They never seem to get tired or old ; Your bed is a flower — a lily so white : I see why you always look happy and bright. ADELE TAMBLYN (Age 11). JIMMY, THE SQUIRREL Jimmy as a beautiful black squirrel. But his tail was not very bushy so he could not run along wires as fast as the other squirrels. It was early spring and all the squirrels were looking for their mates. The time flew past and Jimmy was left without a mate. His brothers and cousins had been quicker than he, and Jimmy w as left alone. One morning he found a sack of corn for his breakfast. Just as he was finishing he heard a voice say : ' ' Let me out ! Oh, please, quickly, I am dying. He began to gnaw at the sack and soon he heard a noise inside and out jumped a little fairy. She wore a pink dress and on her head was a shining star that glittered in the sunlight. ' Thank you very much, said the pretty little fairy. Now, what do you want most in the world? I will give you just one wish. Jimmy sat down and thought. I know, cried he, jumping up, ' T wish for a sweet little wife who will be verv good and do her work well. ' T will give you your wish, answered the fairy, and then dis- appeared. Jimmy sat down for a while and thought it all over. Then he ran home to see if the fairy had kept her word. But no one was there. He went about his w ork as usual, waiting patiently. Next day, on his return home, he heard a noise in the tree. He went in, and there, to his delight, he saw the trimmest, neatest little scjuirrel wife that could be imagined. His wish was granted and they were both grateful ever after to the kind fairy who had brought them happiness. MARION GIBSON, Junior IV. 68 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN BABIES Oh, come to the land where the 1)abies grow. So chul)by and round and fat ; I went to the land where babies grow, And there I sat and sat, And w atched them giggle and chuckle and crow, And laugh at their own bright eyes aglow In a fairy looking-glass.

THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 77 THE INSPIRED MESSAGE The gTins seemed to cease only to break out into a fresh volley of fire, the skies were teeming with life, and the clash of arms w ere minor noises to the rush of the cavalry, and the rat-tat-tat of the infantry. The flashing lights of bombs lit up the desolate towm of Cambrai, with its houses which were once staple, now tottering into decay, the l)roken glass and furniture balancing on angles almost defy- ing gravity. The few remaining houses which did not have their windows smashed seemed to stare aghast on the scene which was once so fair. This was the sight that one lone person looked upon, with eyes misted by tears for those who had lost their sense of humanity, and for those lust-maddened men who had caused all this destruction. The fugitive sauntered on as though he heard not the clamour for blood, which was going on just over the tree-stripped hill. He crossed the street and went around the corner and gazed upon the once famous Cathedrale of Cambrai which was now in ruins beyond repair. That glorious stone carved entrance he once again passed through, and as he entered the sanctuary the fearful flash of a bomb penetrated through the many holes in the roof. That one flash was enough for the priest to see the destruction of men goaded on by jealousy. He wandered on, touching with fond hand the crucifix and vessels of the churches he so loved. Then finally weary from his long day ' s march he laid himself down to rest. How often has that devout priest repeated the vision he saw in his dreams. Cambrai was once again the prosperous God-fearing town of yesterday w ith its laughing children, jolly men and women singing about their work. The ])irds were singing again, the grass was green, and the Cathedrale v.as basking in the sun which showed to its best advantage the jewel-rivalling windows. Then an angel :ame and took him on high to the home wdiich he had justly gained. The next morning when the priest awoke, the firing had ceased. The priest walked between those crosses, row by row, which are surrounded by the beautiful and suggestive poppies. A solitary lark flew across the sky and its call grew faint in the distance. The priest walked on with a step wdiich seemed too buo} ' ant for the occasion. A light shone in his eyes as he entered the firing lines to do his daily work which made men question him, and he would answer, Caml rai is not lost, this is only to make her dearer than ever to those who have not fully appreciated her; neither is Erance lost or Belgium lost, the just shall have their reward.
