THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 31 y. fa. G. H. Y. W. C. A. REPORT FOR 1920-21 At the first meetino- of the Y. W. C. A. on October first, the fol- lowing- officers were elected: Honorary President Miss Read President Mary McCormack Vice-President Jean Southam Secretary Dorothy Darrell Treasurer Helen Howard First Work Convener Marjory Walker Second Work Convener Anella Minnes On October 22nd, a meetino- of the Association was held, and the evening- was spent in making hospital socks. On November 1st, Miss Armstrong, a returned missionary from Burmah, came and spoke to the Association on the subject of Answered Prayer, giving some striking examples of it in connection with her own work. On December 3rd, ' the girls gave a series of advertisement tableaux in the gymnasium, prizes for guessing the largest number of these correctly going to Dorothy Rason and Phyllis Harevy. On December 10th, the girls made bags to fill with candy for the Infants ' Home Christmas Tree, and at this meeting it was voted that ten dollars of the Association ' s funds should be used to buy a chair for the University Settlement House library. On January 14th, a letter was read from Dr. Alice Anderson, a Branksome old girl, who is lecturing in the Women ' s Medical College at Ludhiana, India. Pictures of the Ludhiana Hospital were also shown. It is in this hospital that we have for a number of years sup- ported a bed, which has been named the Branksome Hall bed, so that it is interesting to know that one of our girls is one of the doctors there. On February 18th, instead of the annual skating party, a dance was held. Refreshments were served at the end of the evening, and a considrable sum was realized for Y. W. work. On March 2nd, th blind girls in the Clarkewood Home, on Sher- bourne Street, were our guests for the evening. A play was given, called ' ' The Mouse-Trap, and piano solos were played by Dorothy Darrell and Margaret Campbell. Refreshments were served at the end of the evening. During the winter a large number of hospital socks have been made and sent out, also tAventy-four kimonos were finished and sent to the hospital at Ludhiana, and a number of useful and fancy articles are being prepared for the Festival to be held in May. DOROTHY DARRELL, Form V., Secretary.

32 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN TREASURER ' S REPORT, Y. W. C. A. April 1st, 1921. Chinese Famine Fund Dance Collection for Blind Girls Ramabai Regular Collections $ 110.00 40.00 20.00 20.00 35.00 Total $225.00 HELEN HOWARD, Form IV., Treasurer. THE FIFTH FORM As a Slogan contributor, my duty is plain. To write an account both of praise and of blame, Of all Fifth Form efforts, and prophecies, too. What each of that grand Form in future will do. K. Cowan, our head-girl, though not a musician, Will finish, at last, an Al dietitian. Marj. Walker to imitate Rachmaninoff tries, She bangs at the keys amid numerous sighs. And there ' s Fergie, who aims at a social career, ' ' Prenez garde! Jean, or you ' ll come a cropper, I fear! A small violinist of fame pure and bright. Is the black-eyed young maiden they call Nancy W right. In Dorothy Darrell a nurse we shall see, (I pray to the gods she may never nurse me !) To add to our glory, K. Welton please mark, Who can play like a Chopin and sing like a lark ; While not far behind her in fame or degree Comes Margaret Campbell, Victoria, B.C. We hope, when at Varsity, Marjorie Bone Will astonish the world with her knowledge and tone. In Helen McCull} we have, so they say, A born elocutionist of grave or of gaj. We find in D. Roach our premiere danseuse. She ' s as light as school pudding, and wears number twos, ' Tis said, Mary Grant as a cook will succeed, Helen Smith will write out all her culinary creed. Now, after this effort, pray find me a pill or To lean my tired head against. Yours, MONA MILLER, Form V.
