I, , 4 6. 1 THE FIRST DAY I stood at the entrance of that enormous gymnasium, desperately trying to look nonchalant and self- consciously grinding the well-polished toe of my brand new black patent shoes into the tough wax shine of the never-yellow gym- nasium floor. Someone brimming with self-assurance bustled past, and I looked down to find a Hello My Name ls Jane sticker haphazardly stuck on the starchiness of my new white blouse. I-li Jane . Voices swarmed in and out of my ears and seven million people, whose blouses were a lot more faded than mine, grouped themselves around me, slapping each other's backs and discussing unforgettable summers with long lost friends. Then they moved away, before I had time to tell them that my name was really Andrea. I gulped and swallowed, nonchalantly, and wondered whether or not my father had paid the entrance fees yet. Now - When I dash through the open doors of the gym that has room for only two badminton courts, leave my dirty fingerprints entwined with others on the light switches and make black scuff marks on the tired gym floor with worn-out loafers, I sometimes stop, remembering the lonely individual who stood nonchalantly right here and I wonder if she was ever really me or ifl was ever really her.

Happiness is watching the crabapple tree bloom, and the plum tree bloom, going swimming, going in a rowboat among the trees over lapping water. Happiness is walking among the trees and being surrounded by violets and weeping willows. Catherine Helen Osler, Grade 6 Happiness is friendship. Sharing secrets, holding hands, and being able to trust a friend is happiness. Happiness is playing in a fort at school together. Walking hand in hand smiling from ear to ear knowing that this person shares secrets and will never let you down and you will always be her best friend, forever. Wendy Wharton, Grade 6 Happiness is being alive, a beautiful little blue forget-me-not. Happiness is a warm gentle nudge, brushing my horse off, petting my dog. Happiness is having friends, letting the sun shine down on you. Happiness is reading a book, an exciting book. Happiness is walking through mud, letting it ooze through your toes. Happiness is a nice feeling. Leslie Konantz, Grade 6 Happiness is being with your friend who cares, when no one else cares. Happiness is being with your best friend alone in the wilderness. Happiness is being close to nature and picking forget-me-nots while the birds sing softly. Happiness is running free through waving golden fields. Happiness is watching a baby bloom to maturity. Happiness is climbing an apple tree in bloom. Bev Geddes, Grade 6 Happiness is looking through the trees at the sun. Happiness is lying in a patch of clover. Happiness is sitting by a quiet pond tossing pebbles. Happiness is to have the wind in your hair. Happiness is to go barefoot in the mud. Happiness is just plain nature. Agnes Borbely, Grade 6 Tl-IE COURTSHIP OF BLUE MOON Once upon a very very long time ago in a land that never was, but might have been, there lived a wise old king and his pretty queen. King Henry the Handsome that was the King's name, and Queen Gertrude the Great, that was the Queen's name, had a lovely daughter of nineteen. She was the loveliest girl in the world and she was called Blue Moon , because her beauty was as rare as a Blue Moon and she was as glorious to see. .slwfi 'I its One day King Henry the Handsome said promptly to Queen Gertrude the Great, I really do feel that Blue Moon should marryg after all she is almost twenty. The Queen sniffed. Yes, I suppose so, but I only want the best for her. After all, she is not only a princess, not only the most beautiful girl in the world, but she is also my daughter! So, during the next few days men by the million from all over the country came and tried to win the hand of Blue Moon. The third day of all this confusion, a handsome man of about twenty-three came all the way from Strogmesteel to propose to Blue Moon. The sight of him made you feel that he was very rich. His sharp looking white horse stood proudly by the palace door and the prince's clothes were made of the strongest velvet and finest satin. He walked up slowly to Blue Moon noticing her in her fine white lacy dress. Carefully he picked up her slim delicate hand and kissed it quickly. Blue Moon, he said slowly but firmly. You are the most beautiful girl in the world. I have seen many a girl but none has more beauty than you. Please will you marry me'? Blue Moon, although being very very lovely, was quite conceited. We1l, she whined. B1ue Moon, please I can give you riches that no other can give you. Please marry me, the prince cried out. She sighed heavily. All of the men, the hundreds, the thousands, the millions of men who have come from all over the world, I have turned down. You are very nice, perhaps the nicest yet, but still I must turn you down as I have done the others. Why? Why? With all the men who have proposed to you, why must you turn every one of them down? he questioned. Because, as you say, I am the most beautiful girl in the world, and I know it. And I know that I am too beautiful for just any ordinary prince or king such as you! The prince had no more to say. He walked away slowly, ashamed, knowing that he would never receive the love of Blue Moon. He was not only hurt, but quite mad. A guard by the palace doors mumbled to himself, Ha! There goes another reject! just made the prince furious. The prince turned around in a rage. Who are you that dares to talk to a prince in that manner? And with this, the prince turned the guard into a mute parrot. That shall teach you who to talk back to! the prince snickered as he walked away. Six months, eight months, ten months went by, but no one had won the hand of Blue Moon. One fine day, twelve months later a man came to the palace door. He wore a crown made of solid gold which had diamonds, emeralds, and rubies placed on it. His face was strong and handsome and wisps of silver hair fell from his crown covering his deep deep blue eyes. The pure velvet cloak with white fur around the edges hung over the most magnificent clothing which seemed to have a picture of land and sea on it. He walked in clamly and firmly and asked where he could find the princess Blue Moon. He was shown to the drawing room where he found Blue Moon. Blue Moon, he said, getting right to the point. I am King Septem, king of the seven seas and seven continents. I am the richest man in the universe and I amquite handsome too. So, will you please marry me? You are the King of the seven seas and continents? You are the richest man in the universe? And you want to marry me? But of course! said King Septem. Why, why, certainly I will! she exclaimed. And so in seven moons King Septem and Blue Moon were to be married Nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine people were at the wedding. The church was built just for the wedding and it was the most beautiful church in the world. The ceremony started and King Septem stood in the aisle in all his glory. A hundred bridesmaids filed into the church and took their places neatly. A hundred little page boys filed in behind the bridesmaids. Up by the altar were fifty flowergirls on one side and fifty on the other side. But the best was yet to come. A hush filled the church as Blue Moon stepped in. Her dress was made out of mother of pearls and she had a veil made out of cloud dust and sunshine! Yellow daisies peeked in and out of her hair as she tip-toed down the aisle. She reached the middle of the aisle and King Septem was taking up her arm when all of a sudden a cloud of smoke filled the air. When it was gone everyone was frozen, all except Blue Moon and a strange man clothed in black. Who are you? What are you doing? gasped Blue Moon. Why, Blue Moon, don't tell me you have forgotten me as you have done the others. I am the prince from Strogmesteel. I have come to visit you as my real self, a war1ock! chuckled the strange warlock prince. So why must you complain? I have turned down others because of my great beauty. So why should you complain and make such a fuss? I have found my equal and it is he whom I shall marry. Blue Moon cried, pointing to King Septem. So, leave! ' You seem to forget that I am a warlock. All you care about is your beauty. And it is true, I have never seen such beauty in all my life. So save your beauty I will, but spare your life as a human being I will not. In a second's time he was gone, and when the people in the church unfroze, they did not see Blue Moon, but instead a peacock.

W ' A '11, in .- .I CORNER POSITION I sit on a corner, comfortable in the hot sun. The protest march was supposed to pass by me at 3:30. I can see the crowd in the distance. I hope I won't get pulled into this demonstration like the other innocent bystanders l'd talked to. The crowd is passing me now. My eye catches the look in another girl's eye. She looks frightened. Her hair and flamboyant appearance seems to stop the many others from looking into this girl's eyes. They were gray, like the evening dusk. My eyes could not leave hers. She seemed to be asking me to help her, she seemed to be telling me she was lost. As I reached out my hand to her her gaze changed to that of a rebel, her eyes turned to stone. They had reached the Parliament grounds and the Pigs were ready. Why did she refuse my help? Kathy Macdonald PLEA FROM A MADMAN Earth, 21st Century I pray that you, whoever you are, will have found this in time to save the world. I hope that you will be able to understand what I'm trying to tell you, for it is imperative that you realize what is happening about you. You, who are reading this, are perhaps the only one who can do anything to save the human race, for you will have the knowledge to do something. I can only pray that it is not too late. I have been passing my time Qfor how long I couldn't begin to imagine, perhaps a few years, maybe moreg I have no conception of time herej in confinement, away from all human contact. My captors guard me through automation. I have very little personal contact with others and I assure you, they are not human in any sense of the word. My world consists of four whitewashed walls. A machine wakes me up. A machine brings me my food. A machine brings me liter- ature to occupy my long lonely hours. A machine simulates night by switching off the lights, presumably at the same time every night, not a second sooner, nor a second later. A camera surveys me every minute of the day and an infra red camera observes me at night. I cannot recall the number of times that I have attempted to write this warning. Each time my efforts have been in vain. My captors have found them everytime, but they continue with the charade that they do not realize what I am doing. Then just when I feel sure that I have succeeded they find it and take it away. After they have a good laugh over it, they burn it and return the ashes to torment me. At last I have succeeded in concealing my efforts from them. They will find no evidence of its existence. The truth will be heard through you and the world will no longer be ignorant of the enemy's threatening power. My name is of no consequence, as you would probably have no previous knowledge of it, but I once worked for our enemy. I was their puppet and did as they wished. I built their bombsg tested their equipmentg designed their defense systemsg launched their rocketsg and helped them grow in strength and power. Almost too late I realized what was happening. I went over all the data that was taken during all those underground nuclear tests. The contamin- ation is building up under the earth's crust, seeping into its faults and cracks. Unless somethingis done it will kill millions, including their own people. And why? Merely as proof of their power. They were so overpowered by the necessity to prove their strength that they gave no thought of its aftermath. I could not allow myself to be an instrument in the death of millions of people. 1 I tried expressing my dissent, but was quickly and efficiently suppressed. Desperately I crept into the hidden complex one Q night and tried to sabotage those ungodly death machines. Regrettably I was stopped before I could do much damage. Immediately I was labeled as insane and my presence was eliminated by throwing me into this god-forsaken hell-hole. V' They easily find ways of quickly disposing of anyone who will not conform to their authoritarian ways. I I assure you that I am not insane, and I feel that my testimony is proof of my sanity. Your enemy is the same one ' that put me here. They are crafty, beware! They have spread throughout the earth like an undetectable plague. Your enemy may pretend to be your friendg again, beware. They have brainwashed the world into thinking that they are friendly and that their ways are the best. And yet, they conceal so much from us. While they profess to giving under- developed countries freedom if they submit to their power and join the enemy's nation, their own people live in bondage.

Take it upon yourself to inform and warn our fellow human beings, for again I . say that they are not human like us, they have no feelings, only an unquenchable lust for power.

They promise peace, and yet only through a complete take over of the world can this ultimate peace be obtained. Their complete control is imminent unless we, you, can do something. E There is no room for individualism in their worldg no time for emotions. They hope to gain perfect control of the en- I vironment, as well as the people, to sustain only the important lives.

BEAUTIFUL THIN GS Girls and boys are very nice Trees and leaves very relieving. Spice and rice are good food Dogs and cats chase after each other. But they'11 like each other soon. If you get hurt your mother will fix you. I Mother and Father love you a lot. Everything is beautiful. Birds and bees are nice. Specially bees give us sticky stuff That's good for us. Darlene Corrigal, Grade SPRING Spring is a beautiful thing. When all the flowers come out. And no one ever pouts. But, sometimes I get angry because my cat sits on the good mat. And I get mad When Tasha is bad. and that's why spring is a beautiful thing Shannon E. Jager, Grade 3 HOW TO LIVE WITH PARENTS One of the most trying phases in a young gir1's life is when she is a teenager. At this age parents get on certain kicks of what you should or shouldn't do. Although this stage of parenthood is not unique to parents with teenage daughters they usually end up having to cope with the problem and be understanding at the worst stages. Usual Mother kicks are concerning such things as lack of sleep, clothes, homework and weight. How many girls have heard No wonder you're so tired all the time, you don't go to bed until eight-thirty or You're wearing that! Well, if you think so, dear or When I was in high school I did two hours homework every night . These are typical situations in which sacrifices must be made for parents. But sometimes mother's have a terrible time deciding what standpoint they are going to take, and change their minds from day to day. Such as: You really should watch what you eat, dear, you're developing fat girl habits . A day or two later your mother walks into the kitchen where you are noisily munching your celery stick. Oh, Barb, you look so pale and thin, here eat some cookies and milk. All you can do is nod graciously and accept some cookies bracing yourself for the next day's fat girl routine. Fathers have their own special brand of kicks . These fall into two main categories: protectiveness and Why don't you act your age . The usual protectiveness routine starts with How old are you now? Twe1ve? No, I'm nearly sixteen . Oh, that would make you in grade eight then. No, I'm in grade ten. Really! Next thing you know you'll be going to University! What do you want to do? l don't know yet . ' Well you'd better start thinking about it. Here you are going on, uh, getting older and you must begin to make decisions for yourself. If you expect to drive my car then you'd better begin to act your age, sweetheart . Yes, daddy. Alas, what can you do with parents at this age except be patient, loving and understanding.

M 1 1 GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 7l-72 This is your year, and this yearbook reflecting your thoughts and feelings at this special period of your life will be of deepening interest to you as time passes. lf you have shared the six years of your high school life with about half the class and seen many of the changes that have affected profoundly both you and Balmoral I-Iall. In that time the familiar pattern of a British girl's boarding and day school gave way to that of an educational in- stitution with a distinctly Canadian flavour. Much of the traditional classical educational outlook remained but the focus of interest was swinging toward the development of each individual student rather than to the perpetuation of a certain type of girl who was expected to behave accord- ing to a pattern defined more than 100 years before. A metamorphous in response to the outside environ- mental stresses was called for in progressive institutions and it was beginning to be felt as you entered Junior High School. The Senior students fwho always set the tone by their living examplej were clamouring for more voice in their choice of courses, more influence in their life style and greater freedom in their personal expression of themselves. Their impetus came from the university students who were dropping out of educational institutions because they felt that the courses were irrelevant or ob- solete to the fact of living in the contemporary world. Succeedingly junior years of high school were following their example, often seeking physical escape through tak- ing to the open road or embracing the drug cultures for mental flight on the spot. There is no doubt now that much student criticism was justified. At the provincial level, changes in curri- culum, courses, text books and methods of teaching have followed rapidly and without remission in these past six years, and these youthful prophets and activists have stirred up such a ferment that optimism and stability have been dwindling componets in our social and educational institutions. Since the beginning of their revolution un- easy parents crave the old fashioned comfort of a stable educational programme that is acceptable to themselves and palatable to their children. No such magic formula has emerged, but a pattern of values seems to be emerging Educationalists have moved from strict adherance to a well organized system to stressing the importance of the actual learning process. Courses are now devised where mastery of concepts rather than awareness of facts is stressed. This revision in thinking would seem to be the partial answer in a world where the academic truth changes almost from day to day as technology penetrates previous barriers of sight, sound and comprehension. It is reassur- ing that educationalists are increasingly preoccupied with the learning process and its disruptions rather than the content of the academic programme, especially in the more junior years. Your life in high school moved from specifics to generalitiess subject boundaries have dissolved away so that previous specialties even in the absolute sciences have merged and become increasingly more philosophical. Some courses that cut across several disciplines have been revised in answer to the complex problems that confront us all. You may have observed that your text books have become mere adjuncts to audio-visual experiences and are frequently out of date by the time they come to print, but until lineal thought and segmental thinking is sup- planted, the written text will be part of student life. At long last students are judged more by the quality of their thinking than by the quantity of infor- mation they can assemble and memory contests are al- most out of favour. Versatility and originality are now cherished more than high specialization, both in the ivory tower and in the market place. In years to come, when an accounting is made of this immense education- al struggle, I am sure that your class will count itself as a front line group. My kindest regards to you as you address yourselves to a new phase in your education, it has been a pleasure to have worked with and for you during our association. Yours sincerely, Harriet M. Perry, M.D 's4. SCHOOL CAPTAIN KATHY MacDONALD HEAD GIRL SHEILA HARRISON anxmxs-ff, HEA D GIRL REPORT Over the years Balmoral Hall has created an identity of its own. In how many other educational institutions are students motivated into contributing to the school as a unit while at the same time pursuing a course of studies which hopefully will support and guide them as they branch off into their individual aspira- tions. Excuse me, are you one of the usherettes ..... ? . . . . . I wonder which band they belong to. . . . . . lmagine seeing twins wearing the same clothes at THAT age! ..... l see this poor girl sporting that green skirt everyday. .... . One can only laugh at these remarks which we en- counter on the streets and at functions away from school yet it is somehow rather sad that other people are not aware that our uniform is the physical symbol of an identity of a school equipping us with the means to face the world as mature, decisive emotionally cap- able and trusting human beings. Perhaps we should not even say other people, for often a student ofBalmoral Hall can completely fail to recognize that our educa- tion and opportunity can be unlimited if we move our- selves to accept the challenge. The old concept of education used to be regarded with fear and awe by students and it was with little wonder. In September you would want to seek a corner and cry your heart out as eminous textbooks entitled Reading Without Tears or Mathematics Minus the Migraines stared coldly up at you. At Balmoral Hall all this has changed and we can be extremely thankful that our educational set-up and studies have enabled us to attain some farreaching goals that could have been offered in a few other en- vironments. The staff have been the key instrument in implementing variations and outlining a more inten- sified study of courses. We can think of no subject where a teacher has not permitted us to veer somewhat from the curriculum and launch into experimental pro- jects or self-teaching assignments. The French De- partment is only one example of where a teacher has taken time and offered guidance in allowing six or seven Grade ll and I2 students to pursue courses this summer or next year in France or Germany. The old saying that knowledge is its own reward is definitely applicable to student activities at Balmoral Hall. In the beginning of the school year, the Execu- tive and Student Councils are relatively unaware of what course of events the next ten months will take or how to handle the unexpected situations that pop up now and again. Herein lies the challenge that the student government faces and with its almost ideal set-up, prob- lems and student business along with the planning and organizing seem to get solved. The prefects all have their own responsibilities to fulfill yet they can all de- pend on each other and on the administration for advice. . r..' :I Cl ' P -.Q 'jf .gh .clan J ii' 'ft' rl 4 I1 .A-v LN vf- .. .

Of course that makes it all the more cosy except for the odd OJ disagreements which always arise when a bunch of different kinds of personal- ities all end up in one place. Yes, our residence has all kinds, from the hard-working, intellect to the slack lazy dumby. But no one hates us. We must admit the Boarders do add a bit of spice to the Hallowed Halls. Many things have changed this year - some good, some bad, but all in all the year ran quite smoothly. Dalton House loved its heads, Laurel and Mandy, and they were a great help to me - because sometimes no matter how open-minded you may be some two people don't see eye to eye. Although there was a small number of girls in Dalton House, don't ever think there was a DULL moment. Who will ever miss Laurel's nightly calls or all the love letters which poured in from Terrace Bay, Dauphin, and of course many other big cities from around the nation. Yes, Dalton House will always be Dalton House. Aikins House on the other hand had one of its quieter year. Have only 8 before Christmas, and 7 occupants after, didn't allow for all that much mischief, Of course the girls did manage to have a few good times. Like you wouldn't believe some of them. Actually there were many totally different places represented by these '7 people From Yankee land to Hong Kong, and from the cold north to the California sun? All seemed to relatively get along fine. fThey didn't have much choicep. The year is coming once again to its sad but well wanted close. I would just like to say that a person who has the chance to live in residence gains a mighty lot of experiences. I wish to my very close friends in residence much happiness and a long fulfilled life. I will never forget you! Susan Bennett, Head of Residence. S XX Q 5 K 1 A WX iff?

'is 1'f'U,l W N. .-.K 1- ' , MW' Qin Up until this year our school has been purely academic, breeding a large number of lazy and apathetic people, students and staff alike. I know. Year after year I've watched our teams get ground into the dirt by city league competition. But why? It's true that we don't have a large en- rolment to select from, but this can't be the only reason because our girls have always had so much potential. My answer can only be that up until this year no emphasis was placed what- soever on sports, which is always being pushed aside for other activities no matter how trivial, or even just a good physical condition. I feel that this is the greatest atrocity in our school. Last year I did not even have one Phys. Ed class all year! This year is not much better with only two a week. I have spent my last eight Cyes, eightlj years here learning - learning what? - Sure I can square a trinomial and recite passages from Hamlet, and just ask me how to make a battery from a lemon fno pun intended!j. But isn't athletics also a part, a very im- portant part of learning? By partici- pating in sports does not one learn team spirit, and how to accept defeat with a smile on your face while re- joicing in someone else's victory, or even how to expect more from your- self and to strive for personal excel- lence? Does not all this help one in i-I. SPORT SPORTS REPORT '71-'72 becoming a better, more mature person? I believe that it does and I feel that our school system has greatly failed us all.in this respect. In previous years we've gone into league tournaments expecting to lose. We realize that we lack the skill and confidence possessed by other teams because we haven't been well trained. We're willing to appear at practice occasionally, giving up an hour once or twice a week. And we put in no, or very little effort, just to get our picture in the yearbook and a badge on Awards Day bragging that we be- longed to an athletic team. This is particularly evident in those who are leaving. But how many of us can truthfully say that we contributed something to the team, other than half an effort? I'm not blaming one person, however I am blaming our en- vironment, the atmosphere here is definitely anti-sports, anti-spirit and anti-effort! Because of poor instruc- tion, most of us don't realize the satisfaction one can get from putting in a little effort. Very gradually interest has been building up and I feel that this year can be called a Genesis. It is the be- ginning of a new era fif our Hal- lowed Halls last that longj. Interest in school teams, though far from being good, is better than it has been. We no longer go down without a fight, and the other schools are beginning to realize just how fierce as competitors we can be. The girls are being taught the basic skills in their junior years, so when they start joining the teams they'll already have won half the battle. This year stands out in my mind as being the beginning of some- thing that should have begun with the birth of Balmoral Hall . . . proper athletic instruction! Bringing this in- struction is someone whom I person- ally admire and respect greatly. I can't praise her enough for the fantas- tic job she's done in her first year here, and I know I'm really going to miss her and the fun I had working with her Cshe did most of the work!J. All I can say is, Miss Berry, you've done a fantastic job! Keep up the great work! I can't say that we have never had any good teachers here, because we have. It's very hard to do a good job with lack of interest and extreme- ly poor equipment. Slowly we've been getting more and better equip- ment and I realize that there isn't much money floating around, but athletics IS an important part of the school, and some of our equipment really is dangerous fI've got the bruises to prove it!J Working with poor equipment can give one a last- ing fear of that sport just as easily as' poor training. Team spirit was lifted when we finally got proper uniforms this year! We really looked impressive out on the courts in our green and gold. Even if we didn't win, we sure psyched them out! This year our teams even got a name. I'm happy to announce the christening of the Balmoral Hall Blazers, named for the trail we're blazing to victory. Although team spirit has in- creased, house spirit hit an all time low. I realize that it is partly my fault for not doing a better job, but the house heads know how hard it is drum up spirit where there is none. House games were dreaded by every- body! With this lack of spirit it is IO surprising that the house competition Cyes, we DO have competition in our non-competitive schoo1!j was as strong as it was. It has been a tight race for the shield throughout the year Sports Day was a real hassle and I wish it could have been better or ganized, but at least we'1l know for next year!

This certainly has been a great year for our house, but only because so many of you were so faithful in at' tending games and fighting enthusi- astically right to the finish. It wasn't an easy battle either, because the houses are so evenly matched, but there is always one fantastic house which is able to pull ahead by a few points - Yeah Braemar! I can honestly say, as an utterly unbiased house head, that I can't think of a more deserving lot of girls to ever have won the Shield. This has been the most rewarding and plainly enjoyable year for me in all the time I've been at B.H . - and believe me that's been a few years. I must admitl got a lot of satisfaction from winning the Shield but the best part of the job was working with all of you and getting to know you better. I can't honestly say you were always co-operative about going to games on your own when you were in grades 9-12 but all the younger grades showed a great deal of enthusiasm. They were really the girls who won the shield. I believe that the houses are one of the great opportunities that our school provides. It is wonderful to see so many girls of different ages striving together to attain a common goal. In other schools, as a result of the large enrolments, different grades do not generally mix and so they do not be benefit from the different views and characteristics of students in other grades. One important lesson which the older grades could learn from the younger ones is total involvement in the house and SPIRIT. SPIRIT is a very important quality because that is the only thing which unifies the house and produces a strong contender throughout all the competition. All who are reutrning next year please put forward an even greater effort than this year to involve yourself in the house. You will get out of the house only what you put into it so why not reap as much of its benefits as you can. I hope you do as well next year as we did this year. Thanks for a fantastic year! l'll p really miss you. Lots of love, Lorraine . Dear Glen Gairns: Well it's been a great year for me as I hope it's been for you. As we all know RED is the best color. Our house didn't always come out on top but we had a lot of spirit and you kids were really good about coming out to sup- port the house. Basketball was the greatest success in Senior School as Net Ball was in Junior School. I've never been more excited when we won our last Basketball game. As you all know Jerry left us and was replaced by Pooh Bear. Which I must admit is the best looking mascot around. ' I'd like to thank Pat Gibson, Senior House Lieutenant, for all the help she's given me and if it wasn't for her I don't know what I would have done. Thanks Pat. Also thanks to Wendy Wharton, Junior School I-louse Lieutenant. She helped me get acquainted with Junior School, who had the best House spirit. Keep it up, kids, and I know you'll win when you get to Senior School. Well, kids, the year is over and though we may not get the cup we all know that ours is the BEST House. l'll miss you alla it was great being your House Head. I wish you all the best and good luck in the future. Love, Frances. Dear Ballater, I have been with Balmoral Hall since Grade 4 and there certainly have been some great changes since my first days here. I think the greatest change has occurred this year. I feel that house enthusiasm and participation has de- creased greatly. But times were changing. Maybe you believe that houses are out of date: that sports participation would run more smoothly without the houses. I think that would be a mistake. Balmoral Hall is a good school and with more enthusiastic participation, I think spirit could return with a little effort from you girls in the following year and years. A small school, as ours, can only run smoothly with an effort put in by all the girls. I believe Sports Day was a suc- cess because everyone participated with great enthusiasm. I enjoyed moving from one event to the next with my junior ballaters. If you young girls, keep up all your spirit as you enter the senior school, the seniors will truly be lucky. The- senior Sports Day was fun because there was a great deal of support in all the houses. It was difficult for the prefects to make 'spirit' this year when it was just not felt to be there. I think that next year you are going to have to try a great deal harder to bring the good, old 'spirit' back, so do help one another to keep all the houses alive and well. Individually you girls work hard: band together once again, Ballater, and our house will be strong. A special thanks to you Grade lO's who did show enthusiasm. It was fun working with you. Good luck ! Love, Lesley . Dear Craig Gowan, This year has been a mixture of experiences for the house and myself. There have been more tournaments than usual with varied support. If you enjoyed the sport you came, if you hated it you would try and hide from the foreboding house head. The lack of enthusiasm which seemed to loom in the atmosphere of house games varied throughout the year with dif- ferent groups. VI always had support from the nines and tens no matter what - thank you very much - but the rest of the school seemed apathetic, except for a minority. I did have one girl from each class but never the full number. Junior school was always ready and willing although we did not succeed in winning much. Thanks for your support! As house heads, we have varying jobs to perform. As well as being pre- fects and trying to discipline you, we organize games with the Sports Captain. I know one is constantly bugging you to come to games or sup- port the house through the yearbook, but why do you think we do it? Just for our sadistic pleasure, of for some worthwhile goal? In case you may not have noticed or thought, we are doing it all for your benefit . This seems to be a common phrase in the present time, so no one pays attention to it, but it has a lot of meaning and when I say it, I DO mean it. Just A think for a moment over the past year and what the prefects, not to mention the house heads, have tried to give you. We try to arouse house spirit and school spirit through competition, as it seems to be the best way, but some- where our efforts have failed along the way. Why? I am sure it is not JUST you or JUST me but a combination of both. I hope next year more support will be given to the house head. It is a very frustrating job when your house manages to drag four or five girls up and the opposing house six or seven. ,My sincere wish is that next year will be a better and enriching year for the teams and their house heads. Give them a break and surprise YOUR- SELVES by going to games. Who knows, you might enjoy yourselves. Over the year, I really have en- joyed myself, in spite of all the frus- trations. And it has been great work- ing among you. All of you are great kids and I hope you have enjoyed the past year also. Good luck next year wherever you may be and stand up and support YOUR SCHOOL. School spirit is the best thing you can achieve so' let's have lots of it. Thank you very much for helping me grow in experience and knowledge and, above all, having the opportunity of meeting and getting to know you all Have fun, and for heaven's sake, be good kids! Lots of Love and Spirit, Nancy Russell. J '.,,fA J 1 1 - fs. Q . t I. 2 . I in ,ni ' ,V . it is gf Vi ia ,.

Are they people who you go to parties with, or are they people you can talk open to? Or, are they people you can play with for hours, or people you just like because they are fun to be with? Someone you are never mad at, never have a thought that they don't like you - that is a REAL friendship to me. Because friendship is greater than something on the outside. It goes deeper. Cynthia Shore, Grade 6 FRIENDSHIP What is Friendship to you? To me it's walking with somebody, telling them your deepest secrets, Or doing something very exciting with each other. Sometimes, you really need a friend, when you're sick or unhappy. When you have a problem or something you're afraid of and you want to talk them over. I think I know the meaning of friendship, for I have two very special friends. Lorraine Ashdown, Grade 6 FRIENDSHIP Friendship is when you can tell your best friend secrets. You do special things together and you find out you have many things in common. You have to have some arguments so that it would show that is a good friendship. Even if you DO have fights, they are always small ones and you make up again very soon. Jennifer Cooper, Grade 6 was -- fx I I yy -v s,.,,, ' I 4 t- I 2 Nik -4, , aj , 5 ff I xl! ' .

J THE WILDERNESS The wilderness, So light and fine. And in the bush I Its pale blueness, This washes me clean. Hear all the forest animals Its fluffy cream cotton Whispertgood night. Seems strung up by strings. A clear babbling brook High in the tree The sky is my only roof. Races past me Nightingale sings nature's Rushing on forever. Sweet lullaby Soft greenness kissed by crystal jewels This is my only drink. All is silent. Tread soft upon my feet The grass is my only floor. The pine sprinkles its clean Soon the warm, black Freshness. Blanket of night creeps up The deep wise trees And is eluded as it reaches a daisy Over the world and Crinkled with age Field Little bright jewels hang And widespread branches Shadowing me from The everlasting torch The trees are my only walls. The clear crystal drops Touch my forehead Too soon overcome by the bright Sweet fragrance. Now I be in my endless home Watching the sun hide Beneath its green covers. Low, twinkling and winking Until the lazy one peeps Out from under her Blankets with a fiery Redness and I Rise to meet my home, The Wilderness. Beverley Geddes, Grade 6 4 , .J-.'-L , 1 7910- ' .,w.

Her father was a car washer. Suddenly her father got very sick. He couldn't wake up and he couldn't go to wash the cars. And so the young girl stops her classes and stays at home to look after her father. When the young girl's friends hear about it, they go to help her father. They wash the cars every morning before they go to school. . But unfortunately her father died. They feel very sorry and together they collect money to give her. They hope she can continue her classes and have plenty to eat for dinner when she goes home. i 'She thanks them and says, I have good friends. l am very glad but I do not want to be dependent on anybody.

'f x X f' 11002 .ffff SUSAN BENNETT Bennett first stomped in from Cowtown two years ago, then wiffed back to us this year from Edmonton. As Residence heartbreaker she fell in love only about five times this year. If you were looking for her, the first place to start would be the phone. Meals were often punctuated with Susan's eat lgor . However all was not pleasure for Susan, for she had the dirty job of being Head of Residence. She did accomplish what she set out to do, although encountered many bumps along the way. Every Thursday and sometimes Monday night she set off for the R.W .B ., but often ended up at the F.P.D.H. She was a member of W2 for months 2, leaving her skinny 2 which made her happy 2! Susan, and Dick introduced many to the favorite guest Harvey on the Grad weekend. We wish her the best of luck in whatever she decides to do, even if it's only being a ski bum. SHELAGH CARTER Liza opened B .H.'s first May Day Cabaret sing- ing to the people - gee, Dad's in the first rowlj Our health food nut could eat cake with the best of them fis that your fourth piece?lbut managed to stick to Mrs. Parker's salads, Ceven in the Biology lab, eh? Lesliej. Shelagh arrived on the steps in Grade Xl just in time for a boutique. . .f this must be my millionth mobile! and for two years has spent a fair time elegantly fooling around on stage and in the Art room. Something artistic must have happened because after dwelling on the possibilities of doctor, lawyer, actress, merchant, etc., Shelagh has decided to join the others in I.D. Five years from now we could find her anywhere. . . You guys, there is so much I want to do, and so many people I want to meet! So be good, lots of happiness, and maybe you'll marry an architect LORRAINE CRAMP Strapper, alias the Shiniest Shoes in Town, tripped into B .H . a short eight years ago being the only kid who could curl 12 inches of hair into one con- tinuous curl 1f2 inch in diameter. The young Cramp was notorious for keeping an entire class late for the all important noon hour game of swing tag while she slowly sipped her chicken noodle soup. New girls had to be forewarned of the hazards of Cramp's locker. In one short term she managed to collect a grand . total of: 12 moldy oranges, 8 stale sandwiches, 4 tins of Hunt's snack pak, 3 chocolate bar wrappers, 2 cookie crumbs 8a a partridge in a pear tree! This past year, Laurie could be found skulking around the halls with her camera trying to catch people's shoes by sur- prise. Our athletic Cramp could always be counted on to give a unique wipe -out on the court at any given time. C ramp is going on to seeking better things in Home Ec next year fhave you tried Engineering?J. Don't be good, have fun, and' please, please learn how to whistle properly. LESLEY DAVID Lesley first pirouetted down the halls in grade 4 with her joyous query - You wanna Murphy kid? Les divided her earlier years between testing her teeth in people's legs, her command performance as Custer, and trying to break her outstanding record of one second in a closed locker. Lesley - the only one of us who never had trouble getting a date - secretly im- ported one for Grad from Edmonton. Somehow she managed to survive on a meager diet of celery and ,lettuce fdid those frequent trips to the Sals' help?j We'l1 all miss our talented Head of Ballater - Les, when you're Prima Ballerina, save us the front row seats! ts 2 5 is .QAQQVQ .3 .Fi as .gygwax SHEILA HARRISON Chuck, our very reverend head girl, and former member of inmates-united, left the realm of boarder for that of day girl when foreign lands beckoned. Of course, this caused the Aikin's phone to quiet down a bit, but the line to Thunder Bay was a busy as ever fat least until the roses bloomedj. Our star of History class managed to breeze through Math with a little help from a friend, which she didn't need when it came to administration, being a born leader. Friday mornings, it was hard to believe that our cool, col- lected M.C . had been a flustered mess the night be- fore. Was it Randy that did it, Harrison? But Thurs- day nights were not too hard to believe come early one rainy Saturday morning when five admirers car- ried her off fit wasn't St. Valentine's Day was it? Q. This absent minded prefect had her share of accidents. The time she fell up the stairs with her nose buried in a book led us to worry. That wasn't so terrific. Our widely travelled friend will touch down in France for a year of manual labour. - take some Intensive Care for your callouses - seriously have a good time and come back speaking only French. NANCY LEMON Well, where to begin! Perhaps with the fabulous weekend at the lake, in the sun, and nine girls keep- ing the neighbours wondering. Lemon, our illustrious Sports Captain could always be found neck high in paper and important looking documents. . .were those just house points, or plottings for the stars? Anyway, along with Miss B. she succeeded in keeping the noon hours full and the lunchtime short. Such examples of fitting activity had probably resulted from sub- conscious impressions of previous B .H . Sports Captains looking down on Nancy in her early years. King Leroy has a passion for Science, flashy Toyotas, pipes, good times, music, and purple dune buggys. Next year our future astronomer will be running that 10 min. obstacle course on campus with Nebbsy and possibly make it in 5. Nan - keep reaching for those stars! ' KATHERINE MacDONALD Good old Kath, who IS NOT an American, came to B .H . while still a teeny-bopper, from Bellingham, Washington. Four years later she's still going strong, not to mention her language. Our friend, who's not top-heavy, doesn't know how to ride, and one won- ders why she carrys saddle -bags around with her. Kath is a gas at any party, and if anyone ever wants to be hypnotized you know who to contact. The guffah of this Canuck often echoes downthe back stairs. Was it the thought of being School Captain, or certain re- flections on a tin roof that made her so joyous? Kathy is a continuous mystery. How can anyone get such good grades, and good times all at once? Tell us your secret! B .H . will never be the same once Macdonald has crossed back over the border, but next October France will rock. Try not to dazzle the Frenchmen too much, but we can trust you, can't we? Anyway, have lots of fun, and good luck learning French the easy way, and ten years from now we'll come over to visit the Count, and you! FRANCES MCEWAN Our illustrous head of Glen Gairn comes from way up there in the north, where red hair always comes in handy to keep warm when, Thompson lost one of its favorites, B.H . gained an asset. If we thought Brenda was quiet we weren't thinking of Frances. However, when she emerged from behind Kathy's laugh, Aiken's House walls braced themselves. Even Sir James went into hibernation. Was it the physical shock of having her assignments done on time that caused her to run into a mattress one dark night? Anyway, her ankle will never be the same again. . .Grad was lots of fun for Frances, Wasn't it, even if Ted didn't make it? Gathering house points, and eight track tapes were fa- vorite occupations of Josephine's favorite friend, not to mention the collection of cousins. Don't worry Frances, two years from now, maybe you'll know how to cure your cherry nose. We wish you the best of luck finding your doctor while becoming the best nurse there is! KAREN NAUSS Nautious Nauss, the world's greatest square de- scends upon us for her last year from San Mateo, no Denmark. . .no Ottawa, or. . .is it Nova Scotia? That giggle of hers fits right into the decor of Aikins House. You must admit she has her extremes. From exclusive- ly educated millionaires to poverty stricken ballet dancers, not to mention foreign students. Karen as- tonished everyone with her paraphenalia and various other goodies. Those talks on the stairs sure educated us. Her I.D. is the most important thing in her life right now, as well as in T.S.B.'s. Scholastically she amazed us all for her study habits were not in the tradition of the boarders she did her homework during study! Being class president the second half of the year, Karen had the task of trying to gather money for all the end of year fuss. We'll always remember her continuous announcements in prayers. Karen holds the Aikins House phone call record in talking the longest - wasn't it two and a half hours? We'll all miss our lively, if lumpy friend who loves the colour blue and oatmeal cookies. Good luck at U. of M. Once you have your Masters in I.D. send us your card. LOUISE NEBBS Lo first crawled into B.H . at the early age of 4, uttering her first words Well, only 13 years to go! Our silent guffawer could often be found on the ground being tramped on by our Hong Kong flu convalescent. If not there, look for her hiding in the lockers, or the cupboards, or the Yearbook room which she finally progressed to in her final year. Lo was well known for her blackboard erasing skills and her great excuses - the library burned down you say? But she never knocked anything for fear of turning green Qmust have been the escalated prices that saved herlj One half of the two worst hypochondriacs, Louise had everything from green spots fcancer'?y to her ever-present and ever-shifting brain tumour! Louise, Arabella, Katrinka, Katin, etc. ad infinitum, showed her skills as a great hostess this years too bad she missed her own wine and cheese party! - but she sure planned it well anyway. Our friendly neighbourhood psychiatrist and medical advisor can be found next year running the 10 minute obstacle course from building to building at the big campus. We wish her the best of luck in pre- med and Nebbsy, remember all your sick friends . when you start practice fif you refrain from travelling thru Australia in a purple dune buggy with your friend the astronomerlj BRENDA POIRIER The world's greatest liar flew to us from Thunder Bay and was immediately struck by lightning C would you believe the Executive Councilj. From her fluent French vocabulary to her Grandfather's California girl cosmetics, she started the year with a Youse guys, you wou1dn't believe. . . Our great peanut butter and toast eater - how many was it? - we better not ask, was often seen at the Bay or Polo Park or Eaton's. If ever you wanted to wear anything new, Brenda had it. Brenda, was so quiet that you often cou1dn't find her under her sheets. Her room was always filled with her little sisters, those angels, the Grade 8's!! Always catching up on an essay at five, she managed to complete the year successfully. Good luck at Confederation, maybe we'1l buy our Stand-by tickets from you!! DIANA ROBLIN Roblin, alias Mazda, alias Flash, gives the best lasagna and afterparties. Diana could be counted on for transportation at any given moment: in fact, people at a certain beach are still wondering about that van load of girls. Our future prime minister came to school one day and wowed us with a new haircut - Hey, where'd the new girl come from? Diana is affec- tionately known as the great doughnut eater Chow many was that? 6? lj and has given Sa1's some of its best business. Her blue huckleberry blood entertained many on May Day as part of the Elegant Twe1ve's . The end of the year has finally brought Diana to the time of making final decisions - will it be law or I.D.? Well, why not both! The University will hap- pily welcome someone with the warmth and sincerity of Red. Good Luck, Di! P 'X I ,c:,,.. gf, ff. Sigel!! i '- Ns 9533! -I-41 V-1. ,4., Hg.. ,If -3. a , SUSAN RUDD Spudd from the booming metropolis of Roland, Manitoba, dazzled us all with Herman, oops, we mean Harvey. Though Harvey is the most important figure in her life there are others. Do we have you scared? Don't worry, it's only her Pooh Bear. Susan's first sight of the ocean was when she spent Easter with Mickey Mouse in corny California Going out with Harvey everyday made Susan sneeze a lots was it allergies? Our bosom buddy's giggles were sure to reach us before she did. We won't ask questions you tried hard anyway, Spudd. We must admit that Susan had the best birthday party in residence, due to the little extras found in the bath tub. We hope you fulfill your ambitions before you start nursing. Best of luck, anyways. NANCY RUSSELL Nancy, mother of the Grade 12 class, was always on hand to take care of us - no matter what shape we were in! In her earlieryears, Nance served as a guinea pig to practice lip reading on. Rus, that stubborn little devi1 , always showed great spirit, especially when the bell rang at 3:55. At 3:56 a blonde streak would barrel out of the school leaving everyone with mouths open fNance practiced all through Grade 10 - always being the first out of History classll Nancy must have been restless this year for she travelled to North Dakota and Philadelphia - and this summer she's wowing those European men - Hey, Nan, save some for us! B.H. has been pretty lucky to have had you for these past 13 years. Nance could always be found be- hind the scenes giving us the push we needed. If we ever needed help, Nancy could be counted on! Nance must have been born with building blocks in her hands, for she's going to take her talents to U. of M. in Architecture next year. Best of luck kiddo - we won't forget you when we start planning pur dream houses! i 1 KAN YANG Josephine, Kans what is your name anyway? I guess we'll settle for Yo Yo! ! - would you believe Head of Choir. Anyway, she dropped into this school unexpectedly one October morning years ago from Hong Kong. She's loved the place so much she hasn't left it yet. Josephine's always doing things - we won't ask what or why, but she always gets it done. Her fried rice settled many an upset stomach, turned us all into gourmets for Chinese food. Our Jack of all trades is a plumber, mechanic, musician, craftsmen, philosopher etc. etc. etc.! Every teacher seems to adore our cute, bubbly friend as much as we do. Be- cause of her magical ways of slipping through doors, Aikins House somehow profitted - again, we won't ask why. Having such a kind heart, she left the school and her friends half of what she came with. Best of luck in New York and keep in touch.

SEAGULL J.L. Seagull is a book of great depth which many will find satisfying in its content, and delightful in its application or metaphoric ideas. It's simple in language and style, almost written for children, yet very complicated and thoughtful in theme and content. No small child could begin to comprehend the infinitude and vastness that this book brings into our lives. The main theme is perfection and attaining it. This sounds fairly straightforward yet when you start to explore a little you find that perfection is an everlasting idea, which HUMAN man will never reach for he lives in a finite exist- ence, but which SPIRITUAL man can reach, for he himself is an infinite and everlasting idea. This theme is very thoughtful and controversial: one which challenges everyone's ideas of religion and their concepts of life and man. Be- sides this outstanding idea, there are interwoven themes which present more thoughts and questions. The author introduces ideas of man's abilities - whether they are limited or not. There is alwaysithe question of where Jonathan is going when he passes through the different so-called levels. Is he reaching perfection? or does he reach it all the time? Every level is harder, and Joathan masters each. The last in the book is one of love and its infiniteness. One should express love all the time and towards everyone, yet do we? Jonathan did, why can not we? We are too preoccupied with ourselves and makingsure everything is just great for us. We should be ashamed of ourselves for not following the path which is shown before us as Jonathan did. Unfortunately we are so selfish we could not care less about being ashamed. Also, there is the idea of God and his Son and man approached. But as Jonathan said, They call you devil or they call you god. Jonathan also showed that everyone was a perfect image of the Great Gull. As he calls to other kinds he exclaims, Are they also special and gifted and divine? No more than you are, no more than I am . This is true for everyone, but unfortunately only some practice it. I It would be truly wonderful if everyone could open their minds and let go of the material and let God direct their lives with the spiritual perfection that we should express as perfect likenesses of I-lim. I believe the author is trying to enlighten a few more young birds such as Fletcher and Charles-Roland - or you and I - and show them and us, in simple terms, that God's love and understanding is unlimited and that we are able to ex- press this in our daily lives. He does this so beautifully and clearly that even the most unenlightened might feel a surge of warmth. It is told as Jesus told his lessons - in a parable. The book maybe a finite, material object with a finite number of pages, but the idea in it goes on living and it is something everyone can continue to practice for an INfinite amount of time. The story is about Jonathan's development of perfection in various stages. The first is when he is on earth trying to fly aerobatics instead of the dreary day to day routine of flying to eat rather than learning to fly. He pushes his material body farther and farther. He is both happy and sad. I-le's happy that he has found a greater meaning in life, but sad that the rest of the flock if unable to understand his achievement. Jonathan has learned all he can by himself so must go on to the next stage of thought-- with a little help. It is taught harder movements but enjoys every minute of it. l-le becomes the special student of Chiang - the highest in thought. Jonathan soon learns thought movements by changing your thought you instantly appear to where you were thinking of. This is a clear parable to us. lf we change our level of conscienceness we can express God's qualities and be healed of our problem. After Chiang goes on once more Jonathan helps some of the new studentss but he feels he must go back to the flock and see if someone there wants to reach out and touch perfection. As it was, he was right and begins to teach a rebellious youth - Fletcher - who was outcast also. As time goes by more young birds are cast out of the gull society because they wish to learn. Jonathan teaches them all. Then he decides to go back to the flock's beach and show them the true meaning of life. At first, the flock is as- tounded and will not have anything to do with these kinds. But slowly, more and more birds come to Jonathan to learn to fly. Soon Jonathan has thousands of birds and decides to let Fletcher take over. A Jonathan disappears and Fletcher must take his place. All in a moment Fletcher understands all of Jonathan's teach- ings and is able to carry on. ' ' To me this is a fascinating book. If only we would open our eyes and be willing to take what is ours and use it at every instant: the world would be a better place if we followed Chiang's advice to Keep working on love . Nancy Russell I stood there like a burning candle silently sizzling . Suddenly a gentle breeze brought you in fornt of me with sunshine and laughter. I could see nothing but your radiant smile. A simple smile as fresh as the morning airs as pretty as the blossoming roses as sweet as the honey of the bees as permanent as the evergreen tree. I closed my eyes away from everything. I could still see your engraved smile carved clearly in the sea of my mind. You stand by me. I can feel love and security: I can hear your silent whisper: I can see your spontaneous smile! April passes, soon it will beVMay. Then you will be flying, far fr away. Unutterable words I must say! Till the sea dries Till the plants decay Your memories - will always stay growing in my mind, accompanying my endless days. Josephine Yang Printed by Inter-Collegiate P of Canada 41971 'ft .
