32 ThjS Branksome Slogan of Fifth Form and Vice-President of the Beta Kappa. In her three years at Branksome, she has entered into athletics enthusiastically and successfully — being captain of the basketball team and showing great interest in lacrosse- This year she has proved an excellent chieftain of the MacAlpine Clan. We wish you the best of luck, Ruth. Thou art free, strong, tameless ! Miriam Coryell is one of the Fifth Form Day Prefects. 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.
