CHRISTMAS 1912 No. I. To those of lis who knew and loved every red brick and every inch of ground at 102 Bloor Street East, it is a sad sight to gaze upon where Branksome once was. When the word School is mentioned we shall always think of the little red annex and the row of poplars outside it on which we used to gaze for inspiration. Poor old poplars ! They look sadly over- worked now, — as if they had set too many thought-waves of Latin, German, Mathematics, etc., in motion for the good of their health. Perhaps they are sad and lonely without the happy, laughing girl-faces all about thjem. And just think of it, there were actually boys playing Rugby where the tennis courts used to be, when I passed the other day. Boys ! Ugh !
