HEAD GlRL'S REPGRT An independent school such as Balmoral Hall differs greatly from a public school. With a student-teacher ratio of ten to one, the relationship between the two groups is very intense. More time is spent with the individual student to develop her potential. This year has brought many changes, some were drastic, others not. The girls suddenly realized they couldn't adjust their kilts in the halls without knowing the whereabouts of the Headmaster! The shuffling of timetables left time at the end of the day to enjoy sports and activities. Choir, bridge, chess, and art were not always favourites of everyone, but in the. end proved to be successful with a large percentage of girls. One change that many girls took advantage of was the addition to the uniform of Hunting McLean tartan pants. fThose winter months could be chilly U Our social events were few but well attended. Time and effort was evident for each and every function. The Christmas Dance set the mood for the Holidays. Grade Tens did a great job! Both the Senior and Junior School Choirs made a tremendous contribution to the Carol Service and the Closing Exercises. The May Day programme involved many people - the overwhelming results showed it. Grade Elevens spent many hours working on the Graduation Dinner! Dance. The Grade Twelves will never be able to show their complete appreciation. There were other events that shouldn't be forgotten: Initiation, Spirit Day, Coffee Houses, and last but NOT least, the two sets of compulsory exams! These activities, and many other small ones, will remind us of our unforgettable school days at B. H. May these words from my Valedictory Address remind you of the Grads of '74 and how we feel leaving a school like Balmoral Hall. Today is a special occasion for the Graduating Class of 1974. It marks the end of twelve years of study, and the beginning of a whole new world, for we are entering our surrounding society as young, responsible adults. But today, another significance - this is the last time we will assemble as part of the student body of Balmoral Hall. Many of us may never see each other again, but we will always remember the times of work and fun no matter how hard or pleasant. It is hard for us, the members of the Graduating Class, to leave B. H. which has become in essence, a part of our lives. We hope that we're leaving behind us some small contribution in return for the many things this school has given us. It has given us experience in life, friendship, and memories we will always cherish. Our teachers and parents have played an important role in preparing us for the future. They have helped us find a place in this changing, complex world. They have helped us to make some of our greatest decisions and to reach our goals. To these important people we extend our warmest and most heartfelt thanks and our hopes that we will some day make them even more proud of us. Good-bye is never an easy thing to say - especially when saying it to friends and to a place that has been such a part of each of us. An elderly man once said to me that good-bye meant forever, so to you all, I say so-long and thank you. It isn't a question of what you've done But what you intend to do, For records past, can't always last. And they'll not carry you through. Resolve and try to improve yourself Replace old laurels with new. It isn't a question of what you've done But what you intend to do! Dawn Stephen Head Girl
