Because it is the only way in which you, today, can receive immediate guaranteed protection for any fixed amount payable to your depend- ents or to your estate — the only way in which you can guarantee a certain future of inde- pendence. WHEN should I take out Life Insurance? While you are still insurable — i.e. — before physical defects, or illness, makes you non- insurable, in other words, as soon as possible, remembering that this also means a far cheaper rate. HOW should I take out Life Insurance ? A post card to the address below will bring full information regarding the Mutual Life endowment insurance, which gives you the most protection for the lowest net cost.

Its faime has spread far and wide from the marked ability of its graduates. Miss Read, the Principal, has ever in mind that, in addition to scholastic attainments of her school, the leaven of outdoor and indoor sport is an absolute necessity for the development, so that the Health of Body as w ell as Breadth of Mind can go hand in hand as part of the training at this Hall of Learning. There has been built this year a magnificent building on the School Grounds for the teaching of healthful exercise indoors, in addition to the Playgrounds outdoors. This School emphasizes the spirit of Canada, in that we cannot stand still; we must go on, and in developing the human element as well as the natural resources of this country, Miss Read, as Principal, has shown this spirit. We are all Where we are by What we are, and nothing can help any of us, half as much as trying hard to help our- selves. Success is an individual affair. Producing, Earning and Saving will bring contentment. THE WALKER HOUSE, ' The House of Plenty, has been the home of the parents of many of the girls attending our Halls of Learning. The management of the Walker House is ever alert and watchful for the comforts of Ladies and Kiddies, and endeavors at all times to preserve an atmosphere as near the home atmosphere as it is possible for a commercial institution to handle. THE WALKER HOUSE CAFETERIA is open day and night for the convenience of travellers coming to and going from our City. GEORGE WRIGHT, President.

I am glad to say that ours is a progressive spirit. Our achievement this year has been the introduction oif a clan system into the school. This is very appropriate as it is in perfect harmony with Branksome ' s Scottish background. There are eight clans. Clan Mac- Alpine, Clan MacGregor, Clan Campbell, Clan Douglas, Clan Macleod, Clan McLean, Clan Ross, and Clan Stewart. Of these the first four are composed of house girls, the latter four o f day girls. The primary purpose of the clans was to increase, through inter-clan competition, the interest and participation in sports and other phases of the school life. The clans have fully justified their existence in this respect. Each clan has its own colours which serve to distinguish the players in the various games. I might add that while the individual is loyal to her own clan, and there is much spirited and friendly rivalry between them, yet they all work harmoniously for the good of the school, carried on by the fine school spirit which makes Branksome what it is. DONALDA MACLEOD (Clan Macleod). 17 18 Ths: Branksom Slogan Lacrosse An innoviation in the way of sports was introduced this year at Branksome in the game Lacrosse. A number oi the girls have entered into the game under the able leadership of Miss Ronaldson, and have developed much enthusiasm for this sport which has been called the national game of Canada. It was originated by the Indians. The team consists of twelve players, the object of each side being to get the ball, by means of a crosse, between the opponent ' s goal posts. Of course there are many rules which make the game more complicated. We are watching with interest the progress of the team and hope that it will contribute materially to the school sports.

There ' s constant work from morn till night. My room ' s untidy and what a sight ! The evening has gone, the time is late, It ' s hurry and scurry at an awful rate. It ' s early to bed and early to rise. So says the old saying that ' s learned and wise, But hfe is so dreary and Hfe is so dull, There ' s learning enough in my sleepy skull. But now I ' m old and now I ' m grey, I think of school in a different way, The chums I loved, the joys we had, The teachers weren ' t all so terribly bad. The plays we acted, the sports as well. Skating and skiing and how we fell. The matches we played, the school sometimes won, The holidays came with nothing but fun. No childish thoughts, no silly delights. No nightly feasts, no pillow fights. Life is a daily constant bore, I ' d give a lot for school once more. SHIRLEY McEVOY, Form IV (Clan Ross). 20 The Branksome: Si ogan SLOGAN STAFF I. Romeyn M.

MARY HARRISON, Form I (Clan Ross) The Branksomk Slogan 21 My Trip Around the North of Scotland Althoug h many people go to Great Britain every summer and tour most of England and southern Scotland, few people venture north of Inverness into some of the finest country in the v hole of the British Isles. On the West Coast of Scotland, particularly, are some of the most mag- nificent and awe-inspiring hills, of which someone once said that Dante must have had them in mind when he wrote his Inferno. This summer I spent a short time motoring through some of that glorious country. The first day was wet and misty and so we were unable to see much on our way from Inverness across to Gairloch on the West Coast. The next morning was as fresih and lovely as you could wish and we left Gairloch in a blaze of sunshine. As we did not have far to go, we were able to make our way in a leisurely fashion — I should say, we had to, as the roads are by no means as wide nor so well paved as the highways of Ontario. That morning we visited about the most perfect specimen left of what nowadays is a place of great interest but what once was almost a place of refuge — one of the preaching caves used by the Free Church after the Disruption of 1843. The entrance to this cave is quite hard to find, but with the assistance of the people living nearby, we found it in the end and it was well worth the trouble. Most of these caves are quite bare, but this particular one at Cove still has its pulpit and a few of the pews. Unfortunately the pulpit has been spoiled iby uneducated trippers who have insisted on carving their names upon it. We spent some time there and took several photographs to remind us of the determination of those people to stand for religious freedom. After we left it we went to another cave near Laide which was still harder 22 The Branksome Si ogan to find as there were no kind cottagers to guide us on our way, but we succeeded in the end. This one has no pulpit but it still has a wall that was built around the entrance to keep the worshippers safe in times of danger. Next to this cave is a smaller one in which an old woman and her daughter are said to have lived but it has filled up considerably since then so that it is impossible to enter. That night we spent at Ullapool, which is quite a ' large town compared with most of the villages up there. The next day was as glorious as the day before and the morning was very good for photographic purposes although it grew hazy later. From Ullapool to Kylesku there are two roads, one of which goes through the hills and is the better for scenery, and the other by the coast. We wished to visit Achiltibuie, which is right opposite the Summer Isles and so we went by the coast road. After we left Achiltibuie, we caught a last glipipse of the famous Coolin hills in Skye far off in the distance. We joined the main road just past Loch Assynt and made our way to Scourie without any further hap- pening. The inn there was filled with fishermen and the walls were covered with models of some of their trophies. The next day, one of the ghilHes took us to see the Worship Stones at Eddrachillis, a circular wall of stones with one large one as the pulpit, used, as were the preaching caves, by the Free Church. He also showed us where the Covenanters are supposed to have held Communion. He was not very sure of the exact spot and so we had to walk what seemed like several miles over boggy heather. The point farthest north which we touched was Durness, which we reached that morning. Nearly every- where we went there seemed to be an hotel which had been burned down and Durness was no exception. We stopped there to fill up with petrol and learned that the hotel had been burned twenty years before. Near here is a ruined chapel which was built in 1619. In the chapel itself is the grave of someone who died not long after it was built, and outside is the graveyard for the surrounding district in which are buried the people who have died since it was first used for that pur- pose. Rob Doun, a famous Gaelic poet, is buried here. The Branksome Si ogan 23 From Durness we went on our way through Tongue to Bettyihill and aifter then the interest in our trip was practically at an end as we started on our way south back to ordinary, everyday life. The only other place of interest through which we passed was Kildonan, from where Lord Selkirk brought a number of his settlers to Western Canada. It was with great regret that we left the North. The signposts marked To the South seemed ordinary and commonplace, while those marked To the North seemed full of mystery and unexpected loveliness, so much so that we even took a photograph of one of those signs. After the romance of the North, nothing in the South could satisfy us and w€ are looking forward to going back another year to that lovely country MOLLY SCLATER (Clan Macleod).

(February 22, 1931) This year for the third time a hilarious party of BTanksomites went to Muskoka Beach Inn for a week-end of winter sports. Under the guid- ance of Miss Smellie and Miss Faulkner about twenty girls assembled in the Union station carrying a rare and peculiar assortment of skiis, poles, snowshoes, skates, and suitcases. This excited mob was herded into an almost private car. Fortunately no babies, and no oranges were present. The trip, which took about four hours, certainly was not boring. Some whiled away the time by playing bridge. The usual collection of movie magazines was to be seen scattered around the car. Miss Read provided a substantial tea which kept us all from grim starvation. We reached Gravenhurst about half pasit nine and piled into two- horse open sleighs. The night was cold and clear, but there was a circle around the moon telling of foreboding storms which, fortunately, did not break during our sojourn. After having been received at the Inn by Mrs. Alderson we dashed to the cabins for a good night ' s sleep (which few of us enjoyed). During the week-end we filled our time with skiing, snowshoeing, toiboganning, sleigh-riding, and archery; and ourselves with the most scrumptious meals (to which we did ample justice), and fresh air. Sunday morning the Aldersons kindly provided a treasure hunt for us which lasted the whole morning. The lucky winner was Lucille Dumaresq — and the prize a box of chocolates. Sunday evening, reluctantly bidding good-bye to Mrs. Alderson, we clambered into the sleighs. On our return to Gravenhurst we invaded the station and demanded food. After this we grabbed berths and went to bed. A certain party ' s pyjamas suf- fered somewhat from the rough treatment received from some impish girls. And then Monday morning ! Taxis — and everybody in a daze ! A subdued, and very sleepy week-end party quietly returned to school dragging the paraphernalia which had been so gaily carried before. KATHERINE LEA (Clan McLean).

It stands a mere four and a half feet from the mainland in one of the many lakes of Wisconsin. It is fifty feet high and its diameter measures not more than three feet in any place. At the top it suddenly spreads out and there is a table-Hke surface about five feet across. Jagged rocks and treacherous eddies form a dangerous base to this phenomenon of nature. Ivy climbs up its sides and tall pines on nearby cliffs cre,ate a background of green for the grey monster. Surrounded by the fresh green of untouched forests, beaten into its strange shape by the storms of untold centuries, this proud and lovely rock is made still more won- derful by the haze of romance which many strange legends have given it. There is one in particular I would have you hear — the tale of Minne- tonkah and Waukegan. This legend, like so many others, is one of love and sorrow. Minnetonkah was an Iroquois maiden held captive by the great Algonquin tribe. In the battle, during which she had been taken, young Waukegan, the son of the Algonquin chief, had proved his mettle as a warrior, bringing back more scalps than any other young man. As Minnetonkah was the daughter of the Iroquois chief, it was thought that she and Waukegan, both being of high birth, would soon become fast friends. But whether Minnetonkah was too grieved to notice Waukegan, or too proud to have a friendship forced upon her, or perhaps too mindful of her tribe ' s disgrace to unbend before a foe, in any case, friendly she would not be. For many months she kept herself aloof, made no friends, and thought only of her home in the east. But, indeed, she was only human, and at length she began to notice Wau- kegan. Once begun, this friendship flourished rapidly. Joy was in every heart but that of old Chief Keokuk. He could not bear the thought of an enemy girl as the squaw of his beloved son. As Minnetonkah and Waukegan became more and more attached to each other, the rage of old Keokuk increased. At last the lovers were forbidden to meet and had to do so secretly. They chose as their trysting spot a small cavern which had two openings — one not far from the village and the other opposite Stand Rock. It was inevitable that Keokuk should hear of this retreat, and on the evening he made the discovery, he determined to part the two forever. With a few followers he entered the opening nearest the village. He did not creep stealthily but walked boldly, talking in a loud, angry voice. In this way he unwittingly warned the lovers. While knowing of their peril, they could think of no way to escape it. The cliff above and below was bare and steep, and only Stand Rock re- mained as a possible refuge. Keokuk was almost upon them before they determined to risk the perilous jump. With help from Waukegan, Minne- tonkah landed safely, but, alas ! just as the brave warrior was about to follow The Branksome: Si ogan 27 his father seized his arm. Keokuk was too late for the boy had jumped and he merely succeeded in throwing him off balance. Waukegan tried to regain his position but failed and fell to his death on the rocks below. Min- netonkah, wailing forth her grief, turned to the east with a motion of farewell to her people, and flung her- self down to her lover ' s side. This legend of Minnetonkah and Waukegan is only one of the many sad yet beautiful tales which cast such a romantic halo about Stand Rock. Its beauty, its dignity, its mystery make it an unforgettable scene, and as I watched the sun sink in the West, I could almost see Minnetonkah stand- ing with outstretched arms, about to go to her tragic death. The Sunrise In summer months one cool dark morn. Four campers trod o ' er paths well- worn Till passing swamps, they climbed the hill Of blue-brown rocks, unguided till They saw the deep black waters. The star-studded heavens dimly shone, Till, fading in the appoaching dawn. The brightening light crept o ' er the sky, Then up came hues that they might dye The sky a faint, pale pink. A deep dark rose minutely blended, Mixed with red-orange softly streaked, The yellow gold, first faint, then bright, Reflected, made an unknown sight When mirrored in the lake. So softly fade the briUiant hues Into the canopy of bright blue; Since past here travels everyday Always along the self-same way The distant ball of flame.

She is chief- tain of the Stewart Clan, debating convenor of the Beta Kappa, cap- tain of the first hockey team and plays lacrosse. A kindly comrade to all we are indeed sorry to realize that this is her last year at Branksome. ' ' Her charms strike the sight, but her merits win the soul. Joan Knowlton is a Toronto girl who has attended Branksome Hall for five years. Her scholarship has been of the highest and she has always worked cheerfully and well for the good of the school. This year she has been treasurer of the Opheleo Society where her skill in mathematics has been most useful. It is with keen regret that we realize that Joan will not be with us next year. ' ' None knew thee but to love thee, None named thee but to praise. Kaye Lea is a Day Girl, one of the editors of the Slogan and vice- president of the Opheleo Society. She is a loyal friend and is always ready to lend a helping hand. This is Kaye ' s fifth and last year at Branksome, and she will certainly be missed next year when she goes to the University to begin her medi- cal course. There is merit without elevation, but there is no elevation with- out some merit. Mary McLean is a Torontonian who came to Branksome five years ago. This year, besides being our Head Girl, she is president of the Opheleo Society. Her standing in the Junior Matriculation last year was the highest in the school. Her favourite game is badminton and both last year and this she was one of the winners in the doubles tournament. We shall miss her very much when she leaves us to enter the University next fall. Thanks for the sympathies that ye have shown! Thanks for each kindly word, each silent token. That teaches me, when seeming most alone. Friends are around us, though no word be spoken. Amy McLean is a Fifth Form House Girl. She is captain of the McLean Clan and also sports captain of Fifth Form. Amy is on the first basketball team and the second hockey team. She is an expert badminton player and won the tournament singles this year. She is also on the com- mittee of the Opheleo Society. We wish her every success and happiness in her work at the University next year. The: Branksome: Slogan 33 Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health Truth breathed by cheerfulness. Donalda Macleod claims Van- couver as her birthplace but has spent most of her life in Tor onto. Entering- Branksome five years ago she has established the enviable record of carrying off a General Proficiency Prize each June. She is President of the Beta Kappa, Editor-in-Chief of the Slogan and one of our few Day Prefects. She is planning to enter Victoria College next fall but is as yet undecided as to which course is to be graced by her presence. It ' s guid to be merry and wise, It ' s guid to be honest and true — Molly Sclater, born in Edinburgh, came to this country eight years ago and immediately displayed her excellent judgment by attending Branksome. Now a Fifth Form Pre- fect and Chieftain of the Macleod Clan she came into residence at Christmas. Molly specializes in hockey and lacrosse and is a mem- ber of both teams. In Form plays and in our musical comedy her acting ability, enhanced by admir- able diction, has proved a great asset. May the best of luck attend her in the French, Greek and Latin Course at Varsity next year. HOCKEY I. Mueller M. Lightburne H. Wilkinson M. Coryell M. Sclater B. Loynes J. Harris Hockey This year we were again privi- leged in having the use of Varsity Arena twice a week which enabled us to have regular hockey practices. With Margaret Eaton we had several instructive practice games and some with Havergal and Bishop Strachan which were most exciting. Havergal won the first game from Branksome 1 — 0, but lost the second 0 — 3, while Bishop Strachan won from Branksome 2 — 0. Only three of last year ' s players were on the first team this year, the goalie, Irla Mueller; right de- fence, Molly Sclater; and centre, Miriam Coryell. Some of our new members had never played before but all were quite proficient at the end of this season and will be of great help next year. First Team: Goal, Irla Mueller; left defense, Marjorie Lightburne; right defense, Molly Sclater; left wing, Betty Loynes; right wing, Jean Harris; centre, Miriam Coryell (Captain). Subs. : Hazel Wilkinson, Daphne Mitchell. Our second team did not play any games but they often substituted on the first team. Second Team : Goal, Jean Gordon ; left defense, Marjorie Apedaile; right defense, Peggy Waldie; left wing, Jean Ross; right wing, Amy McLean; centre, Mary Wardlaw (Captain). MIRIAM CORYELL (Clan Stewart) Swimming The popularity of our splendid swimming pool is greater than ever this year, owing to the enthusiastic efforts of the Clans. The fall meet took the form of an inter-clan com- petition, a special feature being a stunt by each of the eight groups. After a keen competition the cake donated for the greatest number of 34 The Branksome: Slogan 35 points was awarded to the Mac- Gregor Clan, the Rosses coming- second. The Senior and Junior meets, to be held in the spring, are eagerly anticipated by the school. As a result of the meet last June, the Senior Swimming Cup, gift of Mary Barker, was awarded to Gretchen Gray; and the Junior Cup, gift of Lenore Gooderham, to Betty Davison. The instruction in this fine art and the arrangement of our interesting meets are carried on with great suc- cess by Miss Ronaldson. JOAN KNOWLTON. (Clan Ross). Basketball Report Practically every Branksome girl had an opportunity of playing basket- ball this year either on a Clan team or on one of the four teams chosen to represent the school. Teams from each of the four house Clans played one another twice. During the entire season the following scores were made : Clan Campbell, 78. Clan Macgregor, 72. Clan McAlpine, 44. Clan Douglas, 22. This is the first year that Brank- some has had four basketball teams but the experiment proved most successful as all the games both at home and abroad were well attended and heartily supported. All our teams showed splendid ability. The first team was outstandingly suc- cessful in that it lost but one match. Its games were as follows : Present Girls vs. Old Girls, won by Old Girls. Score, 21—12. B.H.S. vs. B.S.S. at B.S.S., won by B.H.S. Score, 11—9. B.H.S. vs. H.L.C. at H.L.C., won by B.H.S. Score, 12—7. B.H.S. vs. Loretta at Loretta, won by B.H.S. Score, 35—30. B.H.S. vs. H.L.C. at B.H.S., won byH.L.C. Score, 20— 12. B.H.S. vs. B.S.S. at B.H.S., won by B.H.S. Score, 14—7. B.H.S. vs. Loretta at B.H.S., won by B.H.S. Score, 23—13. B.H.S. vs. O.L.C. at B.H.S., won by B.H.S. Score, 32—15. Much credit is due Ruth Carlyle who captained our successful team. This is Ruth ' s last year at Brank- some Hall, and her splendid record as a reliable player on the first team for the past two years will make her loss keenly felt. 36 Th Branksome Slogan The games played by Branksome ' s second and third teams against the first and second teams from Strath- allen formed a special feature of the basketball programme at Strathallen, our second team ' s game resulted in a draw, the score being 10-10; our third team was victorious with a score of 13-6. When the Strathallen girls came here our second team won with a score of 38-20, and our third team with a score of 48-9. The first team was composed of the following players: Right forwards, Marion MacLaren, Joan Romeyn; left forward, Hazel Wilkinson; centre. Amy McLean, Dorothy Jones; right guard, Ruth Carlyle (captain) ; left guard, Barbara Mitchell. MARGARET FARMER (Clan McGregor). Badminton This year a greater number than ever entered into the badminton tourna- ments. Singles and doubles were played off in each clan, and later the winners played off for the school championship. The winners were as follows : Clan Singles Doubles McAlpine M. Apedaile E. Campbell and M. Graham McLean A. McLean P. Chapman and B. Connell McLeod P. Waldie D. Mitchell and P. Waldie Stewart _ W. Love M. Hendry and W. Love McGregor _ D. Apedaile D. Apedaile and G. Sinclair Ross „ B. Lee S. McEvoy and B. Lee Campbell M. McLean _ M. Wardlaw and M. McLean Douglas B. Jones _ M. Pirie and B. Jones finals Campbell Mary McLean and Mary Wardlaw McLean : Amy McLean We were very pleased to have six Havergal girls come up one afternoon for some games. These were much enjoyed and we hope to be able to have more inter-school games next year. ELIZABETH BECK (Clan Campbell). The Branksome Si ogan 37 Tennis The annual ' ' Strawberry Festival was held at the school last June, the chief attraction being the tennis tournament which was very success- ful. Keith Kerr was the winner of the singles tournament and the doubles were won by Nora Eaton and Justine Campbell. This year with the exciting com- petition between the school Clans and two beautiful new courts we know that the tennis will be more successful than ever before. RUTH CARLYLE. (Clan McAlpine). B. H. S. Uniform Tupper Skittle (Baker ' s Boy) — Amy McLean. Alouetta (Prefect) — Elizabeth Campbell. Head Girl— Molly Sclater. Lizzie Anne (Maid)— Ruth Carlyle. President of B.H.A. — Elizabeth Brydon. Algernon (President ' s Son) — Billy Jones. On the evening of Monday, March 29, the Senior Residence Girls pre- sented a short musical comedy en- titled, B.H.S. Uniform or The Lass who Loved a Baker. Devotees of Gilbert and Sullivan will perhaps recognize this title as being bor- rowed from H.M.S. Pinafore. The music also was supplied by this popular operetta. Here, however, the resemblance between the two ceases. Thanks to the versatile powers of our Headmistress we were able to transport the scene from His Majesty ' s navy to Brank- some Hall. The basis of the plot was the well-known and accepted fact that every year fifty of our old girls embark upon the matrimonial seas. This year, the President of the Alumnae laments the fact that we have fallen one short of our ob- jective. Sacrificing herself to remedy this unprecedented disaster in Branksome ' s history, the Presi- dent of the Alumnae offers her son Algernon in marriage to one of the Prefects. Most unfortunately the chosen one is the Lass who loves the Baker ' s boy. Complications in- evitably arise and are only solved when it is revealed that the Presi- dent ' s son and the Baker ' s boy have been exchanged at birth. Thus all ends happily in the accepted fashion amid great rejoicing for ' ' We ' re all from Branksome Hall. Although far from a finished pro- duction our efforts found a most appreciative audience in the rest of the school and the many guests who filled the gymnasium. Great credit should be given to the six leading characters for their solo work and to our accompanist. Miss Gaims, for her patience and skill. Thanks are also due to Mr. Baillie for his assist- ance in the part of a furnace man. MARY McLEAN. (Clan Campbell). 38 The Branksome: Slogan CLAN CHIEFTAINS I. Mueller E. Brydon M. Sclater R. Carlyle M. Coryell A. McLean J. Knowlton B. Stambaugh The Christmas Carols This year, as in previous years, the Branksome girls held a Carol Service in the Rosedale Presbyterian Church. The service was held on Wednesday afternoon, December the seventeenth, from five to six o ' clock. I ittle Nancy Fairley, carrying a beautiful silver Christmas star, walked slowly up the aisle, followed by the Prefects, who carried the school flags. As a Pro- cessional hymn the girls sang People, Look East. The Choral Class, under the direction of Mrs. Kennedy, sang several well-known carols, while the Junior School, directed by Miss Shaw, sang some carols and recited the Christmas story from St. Luke. Miss Phyllis Hollinrake, who very kindly assists us in these services, gave a harp solo. The service was well attended by the many friends and parents of the girls, and we hope that the custom of having a Branksome Carol Service may be continued. IRLA MUELLER (Clan Campbell). The: Branksome Slogan 39 The Ophe The Opheleo Society, formerly the Y.W.C.A., acquired its new name at a meeting with Miss Read in the fall. During the war the Y.W. at Brank- some was affiliated with the Y.W.C.A. of the city, but after 1918 there was no further connection and the name became confusing. [_This year the name Opheleo, which is from the Greek, meaning I serve, was very fittingly chosen, for this society takes charge of the raising of money for the various charities in which Branksome is interested. The Senior School assembled on the 17th of September for the purpose of electing the olficers- The following girls were elected: I President — Mary McLean. Vice-President — Katherine Lea. Secretary — Betty Stambaugh. Treasurer — Joan Knowlton. Committee — Amy McLean, Edith Innes. The first duties of the Society came in Ramabai week, when a sum was collected for the Ramabai Mission in India. This is a mission for young Indian widows and one in which Branksome takes a keen interest. The sum was collected in various ways. The Resident girls had a week of plainer food, by which they saved over forty dollars. A gymkhana was held the Friday before Ramabai week and the clans competed against each other in very original and amusing contests. Hot dogs, lemonade and ice cream were sold during the evening. As a result of this a considerable sum was raised for the mission. It is customary each year for the Opheleo to provide Christmas joy for poor families. Again this year it was leo Society decided to concentrate on two large families and every girl proved most generous in her gifts. These, which consisted of clothing and food for all, and books and toys for the children, were packed for us by the Red Cross Society. So numerous was the supply that a donation was also sent to the City Hall ReHef Fund. This year one tag day has been observed in the school — Poppy Day. From this we were able to send to the societies in charge a gratifying amount. The last large collection of the society takes place during Lent and is used towards various ends. We sup- port a teacher in an Indian Mission, an Indian orphan girl, Avantika, and the Branksome Hall bed in the Ludhiana Hospital in India. By this collection the large sum of $100 was realized. The amount remaining after the deduction of these various sums, added to the amount obtained at the Strawberry Festival, is donated to the University Settlement Fresh Air Fund. Owing to the keen interest and enthusiastic co-operation of the school, the Opheleo has had a most successful year. BETTY STAMBAiUGH (Clan Douglas). TREASURER ' S REPORT Receipts : Collections, $346.41 ; sales, $82.80 ; special collections during Lent, $110.00. Total, $539.21.

JOAN KNOWLTON. 40 The; Branksome Slogan Physical Training Demonstration HEAD GIRL Mary McLean On the evening of May 1st, Varsity Arena was, for the third time, the scene of our annual Physical Training Demonstration. Never before has it been so well attended by parents and friends, who filled one complete side of the building. The programme opened in the customary manner with the Form March by the entire school. This was led by a group of pipers from the 48th Highlanders and fol- lowed by the prefects bearing the school flags. After the singing of O Canada the flags were placed around the arena. One number followed another in rapid succession. The Junior School gymnastics were very successfully executed by most of the Junior forms, then came two folk dances by the Forms I and II of the Senior School. The next number was a clan compe- tition. The school this year has been divided into four house and four day clans, each bearing a Scottish name. The competition, which took the form of human croquet, was won by the Ross Clan with the McAlpines a close second. Lacrosse, which was introduced into Branksome just last Fall, was repre- sented by a relay race. This slight diversion in the programme was fol- lowed by the Junior dancing, which proved both pretty and amusing, par- ticularly, I think, the Butterflies in Sunshine and Storm. The second part of the programme opened with gymnastics by the Senior School. These were adapted from those of Niel Bukh, Denmark. Their sense of rhythm and imiform motion tend to develop strength, flexibility and co-ordination of mind and body. Another group of folk dancing was followed by club swinging. As always this proved popular with the audience and gained well-merited applause. From the next group of Senior dances the Danish one, known as the Moun- Thk Branksomk Slogan 41 tain, stands out for the rhythmic grace of its melody and movements. An entirely novel note was added in the final number, which was skipping, by both Junior and Senior schools. Although nothing very intricate was attempted, the formations into stars and squares were very eflfective. The programme was brought to a close by forming the Union Jack with coloured papers and singing the National Anthem. Judging by the sincere appreciation expressed by the audience, Miss Smellie and Miss Ronaldson have every right to be proud of their achievement in pre- paring this display. Another person to whom our evening owes a great part of its success is our accompanist. Miss Jean Grieg, without whose skill and patience we would have indeed been sadly at a loss. Beta Kappa On Wednesday, September 17th, the Upper School elected the follow- ing as officers of the Beta Kappa for the school year 1930-31 : — Honorary President : Miss Read. President : Donalda Macleod. Vice-President : Ruth Carlyle. Sec.-Treas. : Lucille Dumaresq. Convener of Debating : Miriam Coryell. Conveners of Music : Audrey Shaw, Flora Macleod. Committee : Irla Mueller. On the first Friday night of school, Sept. 12th, there were indoor sports in the ' gym consisting of con- tests between the classes, in the form of relay races. The New Girls ' entertainment on Sept. 19th was most enjoyable. The serious initiation of the New Girls took place on Sept. 26th and was most impressive with the Coun- cil of Seven in attendance. On Oct. 10th there was an exciting Basket Ball match — Old Girls vs. Present Girls. After a fast game the Old Girls carried oflf the honours. The following Friday a new form of entertainment was introduced — a gymkhana. Many kinds of contests were staged between the clans. The McAlpine clan was successful in winning the greatest number of points. An extremely interesting lecture on Africa, from which we learned a great deal, was given by Miss Grylls, on Friday, Oct. 24th. Hallowe ' en being the following Friday, we had our annual mas- querade. Miss Read and the stafif caused muc ' h amusement towards the end oif the evening by appear- ing dressed as babies. The Fourth Form presented The Travellers and The Crimson Cocoanut, two short plays, on Nov. 14th. Both plays were quite suc- cessful under the excellent direction of Miss Bowliby. Daddy Long Legs was admir- ably performed by the Fifth Form on Nov. 21st. I think we may be quite correct in saying it was de- cidedly the play of the year. The Swimming Meet on Dec. 5th caused great excitement. The Mc- 42 The: Branksome Si ogan Gregor clan won the prize which was a delicious cake ! The first Friday night of the win- ter term, Jan. 16th, Miss Marshall Saunders gave us a most enjoyable talk on birds and toads. We had a very successful skating party at the Varsity Stadium on Jan. 23rd. A band played for the skaters and nine o ' clock came all too soon. On Friday, Jan. 30, we had three debates : FoTim V — Resolved, that long hair is better than short hair. Form IV — Resolved, that the benefits of the Great War outweig ' h the evils. Forms III and II — Resolved, that the world is becoming a better place to live in. Everybody spoke well and the judges had a difficult time making their decisions. However, success went to the affirmative side in the first debate and to the negative sides in the others. As the first skating party was so popular we planned a second one for Feb. 13th, but, unfortunately, it rained. Our spirits, however, were not dampened so we played bridge and badminton instead. Although we regretted the rain we had a de- lightful evening. The First Form plays, The Prince who was a Piper and The Ghost Story were presented on Feb. 20th and were excellent per- formances. On Feb. 27th the Second Form put on two sihort plays, The Mouse Trap and The Shoes that Danced. Both were very well done. This was also the Muskoka week-end, and I feel sure that those who were fortunate enough to go will always remember it. The Third Form gave splendid performances in Acid Drops and The Pot Boiler. Both plays were amusing and well acted. Altogether our Friday evenings have been entertaining, interesting, and successful. LUCILLE DUMARESQ. (Clan MacGregor). The School Dance The School Dance was held this year on Friday evening, February the sixth. Miss Read and our Head Girl, Mary McLean, received the guests who numbered about two hundred and fifty. The school flags graced the four corners of the gymnasium while the lights were effectively decorated by streamers in three shades, ranging in tone from orange to yellow, which cast a mellow glow over the happy throng. Bright bunches of multi-coloured balloons, caught here and there, added gaiety to the scene. Every minute of the four hours was enjoyed by all. Supper was served after the eighth dance when the balloons were taken down with much scrambling and hilarity. An excellent musical programme was provided by Burton Till ' s orchestra. I only hope that all our future dances may meet with equal success. DONALDA MACLEOD (Clan Macleod). The: Branksome: Slogan 43 Calendar Sept. 10th — House Girls enter. Sept. 11th — School re-opens.

MOLLY SCLATER. (Clan Macleod). Dreams Little lonely cottage on a rocky coast, Little could the owner of you brag or boast, Nothing but the loneliness, the soli- tude, the peace Of a solitary cottage and a life of ease. Sitting in the doorway at a long day ' s end, With a broken piece of rod he was trying hard to mend, Feeling on his face the dashing spray As the foaming breakers crashed along the bay. Happier a person never could be found Than he who watched the sun go down across the deep blue sound. Listening to the seagulls scream ' way across the seas, And the piping of the sand-peep and the wind among the trees. Dreaming of his youth and the days he used to go Far across the seas to the lands he did not know, Dreaming of the treasures in the far distant lands. Of the pirate ships and cannibals and glistening golden sands. MARY SEDGEWICK, Form I (Clan Stewart) 46 The: Branksome; Slogan Crunchy Snow Crunch, crunch, crunch. Rings in the clear cold air, As I walk along o ' er the crusted snow Free from trouble and care. Crunch, crunch, crunch, Accompanies the song in my heart. When the sun shines bright o ' er a crystal world Where I must play my part. Crunch, crunch, crunch. It ' s the only sound I hear, And it thrills me through as I listen, It rings out loud and clear. Crunch, crunch, crunch, From the snow giving way beneath ; Where is the snow from that crunches ? From where is the air we breathe? Crunch, crunch, crunch, Its melody rings through the air. ' Tis a wonderful world that we live in. And joy reigns everywhere. AUDREY SHAW, Form IV (Clan MacGregor). The Pines There are three old pines at the back of our house, They face the raging sea. And when the wind comes racing along They sing a tune to me. When the moon comes up like a lantern And covers my path with light, I ' d like to go out to these three old pines And kiss them all good-night. But in one of the pines sits a wise old owl, Who seems to say to me, This is my house in this old pine tree. So please keep away from it and me. JANE SEGS WORTH, Form I (Clan MacEean). The Branksomb; Slogan 47 A Moonlight Night The moon looked down from her perch on high, The gentle breeze went whispering by, She rippled the waves on the water deep And rocked a fisherman ' s boat to sleep. The stars looked down from a higher height, And winked at the earth with all their might. The earth seemed to answer back again But these were the lights from the homes of men. As the darkness deepened a dazzling line From the moon began to shine, Like a golden river, glittering bright, The moonlight shone on the sea all night. A flush in the East may now be seen, Heralding Dawn, the beauty queen. The stars have gone, so has the moon. Mother Nature wakens far too soon. MARY HARRISON, Form I (Clan Ross). A Winter Day Off to the country For an all day ' s sport, Of skating and skiing And building a fort. Flying down hills As if you had wings, Your temples thump madly, Your very heart sings.

Sailors, women and mere infants, Down, down, ever down, Pulled by some unknown hand, Down into those briny depths To rest in a coral grave. KATHERINE CANNON, Jr. IV.

My Pups There are doggies big and doggies smaiU, There are doggies short and doggies tall, My doggies all are quite the same But they have not yet got a name. I think I ' ll call one doggie Jack; I think I ' ll call the other Mack; I think I ' ll call my favourite Ted, And then I ' ll call the last one Ned. KATHRYN GOODERHAM. Jr. III. Our Pup Meg and I we bought a pup. We called him Ginger Bread. He had three ringlets on his tail And two ears on his head. His left hind leg was two feet long, His right was almost three, He had a white spot on his nose And ran around with me. When I am starting off for school He often walks with me, And hops along around the bend To see what he can see. Now he is growing very old. And very often we must scold When he is acting very bold. He often chews up people ' s shoes And after that he takes a snooze. JOAN MITCHELL, Jr. HI. (Clan Macleod).

Birdie in the maple tree, sitting on your nest, Singing songs the world can hear, your life is the best. JOAN GOODERHAM, Intermediate Form (Clan Ross). After Christmas I ' ve got a dwedful pain. In my little pinny, I think it comes of eating Too much Christmas dinny. I don ' t think I ' ll tell Nanny, She might be awful mad, And say I was a gweedy iboy And gweediness is bad. I. don ' t think I ' ll tell sister. She ' d laugh until she cried, And that would make me feel Undignified. I don ' t think I ' ll tell Dad, He ' d call me vewy rude. And that it served me right For eating too rich food. I ithink I ' ll tell my Mummie, She will not laugh at me, But tell me fwilling stories While I sit upon her knee. KATHERINE CANNON.

Hurrah ! for the seats of boxes made, Hurrah! the children shouted. Then they call out, Here comes a clown Who says, ' Shake hands with me ' . And there is Jack who broke his crown, Oh, see! there is a Christmas tree! Next came the old Pied Piper Of whom of course you ' ve heard And of the rats of Hamelin Whom into the sea he lured. Then see the knights so bold All dressed in shining armour, Of whose brave deeds weVe all been told, The knights of good King Arthur. Then comes dear Mother Goose Upon her bird a-riding, While by her side upon la moose We see the Snow Queen driving. Next comes a fine plum pudding, All trimmed with holly bright, Last Santa Claus a-shouting, I ' ll visit you on Christmas night. JEANNE MONTGOMERY, Intermediate Form (Clan Stewart). Winter Play Have you ever watched the children playing in the snow? Romping, running, racing, prancing, everywhere you go, Rolling snowballs, making snowmen, every shape and form; Rosy cheeks and happy laughter, from the early morn. All too soon the sun is setting. Children hurry home to bed. And the place once filled with laughter, now is left alone instead. JEAN MACDONALD, Intermediate Form (Clan Stewart). A Garden I know a lovely garden That grows beside a stream. Where I wander in the summer time And there love to read and dream. The roses are just laden with dew and busy bees. And my heart is sad as I leave it When the leaves fall from the trees. SUZANNE SWEATMAN, Inter- mediate Form (Clan Macleod). A Sonnet Twas glorious that sunny day of spring, The sky above was clear and very pale, The budding oak seemed such a lovely thing. And all the new spring flowers were so frail. When on that day our heroine arose, She was so very beautiful and fair, From her lovely head down to her toes, She was a thing of wonder, and so rare ! She walked out to the road that fateful day. And how the sun shone on that youth- ful form! Crossing the road she started on her way. Noting the beauty of that sunny morn. ' Twas a sad and unforgotten moment when The automobile ran over our pet hen. BERYL JANE OGDEN, Form III (Clan Ross). 53 54 The Branksome Si ogan How a boarder dresses for night life at Branksome. The boarders have a very unique style of evening-dress w hich they don every night shortly after nine o ' clock. Being ultra-smart they have adopted the new vogue of pyjamas for evening wear but they scorn the flaming velvets and satins for manish pink and green striped flannelette. A school sweater often adds to the comfort of the upper portions while the feet are fashion- ably clad in orange badminton socks. Costly evening wraps are replaced by costlier fur coats and a woolly bathrobe. A lacy hair-net of pink or ' blue keeps the stray curl in place and the face shines forth beautifully under quantities of Italian Balm or Hind ' s Honey and Almond Cream. Bedroom shoes may or may not be worn by the night rovers but are usually regarded as superfluous. The only types of evening bags in evidence are hot -water bottles of various hues and Kleenex is found to be much more useful than the wispy chiffon evening hankies. Gloves may or may not be worn. This attire has been tested by practically every boarder and has been acclaimed the warmest yet and ideal for night life at Branksome. It was a bitter January day and the elements were raging but that must not hinder them. They must carry on to the end! Painful looks of agony crept into their faces. Would it never be over? The pace quickened. A few wailed complaints but they went unheeded. Deter- mination was written on every brow. Faster and faster ; on and on they swept. The goal was nearly attained ! Could they withstand the test once more ? Then a cry of re- lief and thankfulness burst from their throats as the Branksome line reached the other side of the Hunt- ley Street bridge ! Teacher (in Junior Composition period)t — ' ' Mary, give me an ex- ample of a collective noun. Mary — A vacuum cleaner. Overheard at lunch — A troubled Junior (sitting with another) — What I need is more elbow grease. Can ' t you fello ' Ws have a good time without keeping the whole neighbourhood awake? The: Branksome Slogan 55 Answers from test questions : (1) An oxygen has eight sides. (2) A female goat is called a but- tress, and a little goat is called a goatee.

Florence W. — I just adore dark men. Mary B. — You ' d have a big time in Africa. Ain ' t it a grand and glorious feel- ing. When you ' re getting tired of litera- ture And you ' re feeling rather blue, When your time-ipiece says it ' s eleven And it ' s only a quarter-to; When you see a look of evil In Miss Kil ' patrick ' s sharp eye And you knov for sure and certain She v ill call you by and by. And just as she speaks your name You feel your brains go reeling — Ah ! just in time, there g oes the bell. Ain ' t it a grand and glorious feel- ing? — M. R. B. DoTothy S.

Miss Jones — Have you read the advance assignment? Dorothy S.— No, Miss Jones. Miss Jones — Have you read to- day ' s lesson? Dorothy— No ! Miss Jones — Then what have you read? Dorothy — I have red hair. Miss C. — For Latin homework, girls, review declensions and make some combinations for yourself. Miss Bowlby (explaining a Zn plus H.Cl. formula) — Now, if they were at a Dance of the Molecules Zinc could go in and take Hydro- gen ' s partner. Chloride, away from him. Lillice R. — What if his partner didn ' t like it — I suppose she ' d go off in gas. The deportment of a student varies inversely as the square of the distance from the teacher. (Now what causes that we ask Miss Bowlby.) 56 The Branksome Slogan The Experience of an Early Riser You ' ve heard them, these people who say, Oh, yes, I always get up at the rising bell and I enjoy it. Like me, you probably gazed at them in awe, uttered an amazed ejaculation and wondered if they were insane. Unlike me, however, you probably went on getting up at the warning bell (or later), and thought no more about it. That is not my way. As an adventurer I ' m in a class with Byrd and Columbus. I could no more lie in bed in the morning wondering if I were really missing something than I could — well — stop talking for a week ! After several repetitions of this ' ' best - 1 i m e - o f - 1 h e - d a y - i s - th e - m o r n - ing talk, I decided to try it out for a week. If you are easily depressed, stop here and read no further ! The morning I decided to start, the rising bell rang at about four o ' clock. I played with the thought of postponing the trial. No use ! ! It would only mean postponing the mental agony, too. I raised my head, I sat up. Brrr — and I was back in bed. A second time I made a violent attempt which resumed in failure. A third time and a third failure. But three times and out, I remem bered, and who was I to contradict a well tried maxim? Success greeted my fourth attempt. I traversed the several hundred yards to the window in record time and nearly dislocated my arm trying to shut it. It would not budge. I yanked again. No result. Imagine yourself in my position. A minia- ture hurricane was playing around my vertebrae. I felt like a Frigid- aire or Kelvinator. My teeth chat- tered like a square wheeled cart on cobblestones. I addressed the win- dow in no uncertain terms. Soon I became unladylike. In no time at all I might have been mistaken for a sailor ' s parrot. A few centuries later I began to wonder if there would be many people at my funeral and to pray that they wouldn ' t bring me snow-flowers. And then, miracle of miracles, I noticed the rules I ' d put in to keep the window up. Re- moving the rules did the trick and the direct blast was lessened. The cracks still let in enough wind to put a nor ' easter to shame so (I blush to admit it), I slipped back into bed just long enough to get thawed out. As my brain began to function once more, I remarked to myself that it really wasn ' t too bad, and that after all it was nice to have all that extra time for dressing. For instance, I ' d be properly dressed be- fore I started on the run. I con- gratulated myself on not having been weak-minded and decided to get up early every morning. But,, horrors, my rosy thoughts w ere in- terrupted by the familiar clanging of the warning held, and as I flew into my icy clothes, I decided that one day ' s trial was enough to prove what abject idiots these early risers are. Tnz Branksome Slogan 57 Gold Fever (With apologies to John Masefield) I must go down to the links again, to the busy links and the steep, And all I ask is a good drive and my ball to miss the sheep. And the club ' s crack and the wind ' s song and the white ball flying. And a couple behind, in a hurry to find, when ' ' fore comes crying. I must go down to the links again, for that call of ' ' fore! look out! Is a wild call and a clear call that I cannot and will not doubt; And all I ask is a sunny day when the daisies the fairway cover, And a couple behind in a hurry to find when fore comes crying. I must go down to the links again, to the toil of a golfer ' s Hfe, Where the bunker ' s way is not my way and the sand ' s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a score per hole of a dozen or two, not over. And a list of epithets able to stretch from John o ' Groat to Dover. I must go down to the links again, to the hilly links near by, And all I ask is a sunny day and the old familiar cry. And the flung sand, or the vicious stroke when the turf comes flying, And a lighter bag to bear to the flag, and the wind soft sighing. A MEMBER OF THE STEWART CLAN.

The fault must certainly be in ourselves, for we have no lack of inspiration. Edgar Allan Poe probably knew a great deal less about them and heard much fewer of them than we do, and yet he was inspired to write a long rigmarole on their clanging and bang- ing, and jingling and tinghng, while we are content to use the most com- mon everyday expressions when we speak of them. Although these expressions do not very often lack emphasis, they are not worthy of the bells. In fact we don ' t realize their true spirit. We have the great privilege of hearing thirty of them every day — thirty bells, with not one of them possessing the same tem- perament as any of the others ! Some of them seem beautiful, some of them inspiring, while not a few of them seem deliberately malicious and spite- ful. There is one thing about them, however, for which we should be particularly thankful — they grow more pleasant as the day grows older. What, for instance, could be more terrible than the rising-bell? Why! its cruel malice eats into your very soul (unless you are one of those fortunate people who can sleep through it) ; its slow, steady clangour seems to pull you inch by inch up the tortuous road that leads from the lovely, lazy land of dreams to the chilly, cruel world of a quarter past seven in the morning, and when its horrible clatter ceases, it leaves you forlorn and cheerless, friendless and mournful — alone in the cold grey dawn ! There might be some discussion as to which are the most popular bells. To my mind, the one that sends forth its glorious peals at the end of the last lesson of the morning is the most joyous, and you have only to listen to the wild whoops of delight that rend the air to realize that many others, too, are rejoicing at its glad sound. Then there is the beloved gong which heralds the approach of that most cheerful meal — lunch ! That bell is without doubt the most inspiring of them all. Like a call to arms it is, and like the stout-hearted warriors that we are, we pour forth to see what fate has in store for us! Will it be pea soup and banana salad, or might it be, perhaps, spaghetti and muffins? Whatever it is, we prove ourselves equal to it, and when we come away, we feel that yet another field is con- quered. One of the last bells of the day is the going-to-bed bell, and a more soothingly beautiful one you could never hope to hear. When its pleasant sound is heard you say to yourself with a sigh of relief, Oh, that blessed, blessed bell ! and, gather- ing together your books, you trudge wearily but peacefully up the long stairs to that haven of rest — bed ! And so our day ends as it began — with a bell. And so our lives go on. ' Mid the clanging and the banging of the bells! FLORA MACLEOD (Clan Campbell). The: Branksome; Slogan 59 The Lamentations of the Stewart Clan The Stewart Clan ! What shall we do ? You ' ll be convinced before I ' m through, That although we appear so weak, We haven ' t had the chance we seek. Although for honours we did try, We scored but one point for Ramabai ! The swimming meet was a terrible blow. But we aren ' t discouraged, I ' ll have you know. Our scholastic standing is not very high. I utter this with a mournful sigh. No one has yet received four A ' s, But we ' ll try again — pluck always pays. The other clans scored higher for sports ; I admit that at times we get all out of sorts, But onward and forward we shall go. Defeat is a word we must not know. Sorry we can ' t print some of our best jokes, but they are running around in the halls. Miss Phillips — ' ' ]oa.n, what is a polygon ? Joan — ' ' A dead parrot. Lacrosse — Running 20 miles to hit somebody over the head with a snowshoe. First Student — ' ' How old do you think Miss Craig is? Second Student — Pretty old ; they say she used to teach Caesar.

The Spaniard found there a beverage, known in Aztec as chocolate — from choco (cocoa) and lath (water). The Emperor Montezuma was exceedingly fond of it and is said to have consumed many jars or pitchers daily himself and his house- hold 2.000 jars. Cocoa beans in skcks tontaining a speci- fied number were used as currency for the payment of taxes, purchase of slaves, etc. In fact the Aztecs valued the cocoa beans even more highfy than gold. Chocolate was introduced to Spain which country long tried to hold it from other nations, but of course failed, and by the 17th century its use had spread through Europe. Cocoa beans are grown in West Africa, the West Indies, Ceylon and other coun- tries. In making Neilson ' s Jersey Milk Chocolate only the finest cocoa beans are employed and these are blend ed by Neilson ' s experts, then roasted, ground and milled by special processes to give that smooth, rich, matchless flavor that makes Neilson ' s Jersey Milk the best milk chocolate made. THE BEST MILK CHOCOLATE MADE JERSEY MIUL CHOCOLATE ' W The; Branksome Slogan 75 ivas brought to Europe by the Arabs SUGAR cane probably originated in India or eastern tropical Asia where it had been cultivated from great antiquity. It was brought Westward and introduced to Egypt, Sicily and later to Spain, probably in the 8th century, by the Arabs who also preserved the arts of medicine, mathematics, astronomy, etc., for us after the downfall of the Roman Empire. Don Enrique, Infante of Portugal, sumamed the Navigator (1394-1460) introduced the sugar cane in the Madeira Islands. It was taken to the Canary Islands in 1503, thence spread to Brazil and Hayti early in the 16th century and from there to Central America. The purest and finest cane sugar, only, is used in making Neilson ' s Chocolates. Nuts, the pick of the crops in Spain and other countries, luscious raisins from Australia, oranges from California, oranges and lemons from Sicily and other sunny lands, cherries from Italy, pineapples from Hawaii — everything good is brought to us to choose from. Using the skill of a lifetime, our own experts put all these delightful things into Neilson ' s Chocolates — which come to you in many delightful assortments from 60c. per pound and up. Chocolates 76 The; Branksome Slogan SMILES AT RAIN You ' d smile, too, if your clothes were drying on the warm, clean racks of a Gas Laundry Dryer while a thunderstorm flooded the iback yard with dirt-laden rain.

With a Gas Laundry Dryer in your basement, weather is the least of your worries. You can hang blankets, sweaters or even the sheerest of sheer things in its thirsty interior for a quick bath in odorless heat. The lighter pieces will dry in less than one hour.
