A few years hence, the year 1932 will undoubtedly be looked back upon as the time to have purchased fine diamonds. Today ' s prices are the lowest since pre-war days, and precedent throughout the centuries shows that diamond prices never hesitate very long in their upward rise. Ryrie-Birks have the largest and finest stock of diamonds in Canada, and they are the only Jewellers in the British Empire maintaining permanent diamond-buying offices in Antwerp, for their own exclusive purchases. We do not advertise hargains, but we do say that quality for quality our diamond prices offer the best possible values .

The Branksome: Slogan 3 Established 1869 ANSWERING THREE VITALLY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS WHY should I take out Life Insurance ? 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 Bond.

Its fame has spread far and v ide 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 wtW 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 v e cannot stand still; v e must go on, and in developing the human element as v ell as the natural resources of this country. Miss Read, as Principal, has show n this spirit. We are all Where v e 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 w ill 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 v atchful 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.

Our New Motto When I visited the original Branksome Hall in Scotland during the summer of 1927, I found these words carved over the ancient door of the castle : — In varld is nocht nature has vroucht that sal lest ay thairfore serve God Keip veil ye rod thy fame sal nocht de Kay Schir Valter Scot of Branxholme Knycht Magret Douglas 1571 ( In the world there is nothing nature has wrought that shall last forever. Therefore serve God, Keep well the road, ithy fame shall not decay. ) And ever since the words ' ' Keep well the road have been ringing in my ears. At the time I remember that I wished Miss Scott had seen them before she founded the school, for I thought this surely would have been what she would have chosen for our motto. It was not, however, until the Alumnae dinner this year that the idea of changing our motto and taking this one came to me, but so many of the girls said to me that evening, ' ' Miss Read, could we not have ' Keep well the road ' for the school motto, that as soon as possible a special committee of the Alumnae met and definitely decided upon the change. And so, beginning this June, 1932, the motto for our school is Keep well the road. What a splendid thought it is, Keep well the road! Since 1571, for over three hundred and fifty years it has stood above the ancient Brank- 17 18 The: Branksome Slogan some. And I wonder, could they in 1571 or any time during the long years since, ' have needed that motto to guide them as we do now. In this year 1932, with all our boasted modern civilization, our culture and inven- tions, our high standards of living, our facilities for travel, and our organized charitable work, have we not wandered from the road? Have we not been so intent that the road should ' be more smooth and more wide that we have forgotten it is the destination that is the real quest of life, and it is only those who keep the road w.ho finally arrive at the desired destination, the destination of achievement, of the fullest development of one ' s character. We stand at the close of another school year and before us lies the future. In that future may our school so play its part that all who come within our gates may learn, not only i ndustry and knowledge, but the way of achievement. And for our guidance on that way what better words can we take than the words of our new motto, Keep well the road. EDITH M. READ.

To ' think, she sighs, that long ago On Pontic ' s slopes a shapely tree I stood, and murmurs soft and low Came whispering through my rustling leaves. Amastris and Cytorus too My trusted friends have been, and breathes Amid the box-trees there some fev Of youth ' s proud memories, as with bow Fresh hewn I sailed in the shining dawn ; And thence through storm-tossed seas my prow Hath bravely borne my master on! To port or starboard, it mattered not To me how breezes blew, nor were My prayers ascending breathed to the god Of the shore when last I journeyed home. All this a tale of the greying past: In peace my veteran ship grows old, And dedicates herself at last To thee, O Castor, and to Pollux bold. CLARE BROWN, Form V (Douglas Clan). 20 The; Branksome; Slogan I Met Spring in the Woods I saw a woman walking in the day- light ' s afiterglow — Hler feet were shod with maple leaves, her hair was like the snow ; The flowers nodded as she passed along that scented wajs As ithe evening, with his depth of love, reached a welcome to the day. This woman passed me often as the shadows gathered low. And I fancied on her face a haunt- ing smile of mellowed woe; Meditating, she would linger in the musky, darkened glen. Then, elusive grace and mystic sweep, ishe was wafted on again. She was Springtime, and the san- dals that she wore upon her feet. Were but tiny buds of maples : green and gold like rip ' ning wheat; And she smiled to see the grayness of the Winter ' s frosty smile, Turn to dewdrops in the chalice of a springtime ' s blossom wild. Spring ' s a friend now, and no longer do I pass her ' neath the trees, She has made her home with lilacs, near some busy, ' buzzing bees ; She converses in a voice that lulls a hummingbird to rest, And she tends her flower children sleeping gently on her breast. WILMA BATE, Form V. The: Branksomk Si ogan 21 English Poetry in the Great War Tell England, ye who pass this monument, We died for her and here we rest content. Tell England — Ernest Raymond. The World War had a great influence on English poetry. Many poets who might otherwise have died unknown, scaled the heights of fame through the medium of their war poetry. This poetry may, with a few exceptions, be divided into two classes. To the first class belong those poems whose authors were on active service. To the second class belong those poems whose authors were at home. One of the most outstanding poems of the first class is The Soldier, by Rupert Brooke. He had just enlisted in the Royal Naval Reserve and his poem shows that he had a premonition of his approaching death. If I should die, think only this of me. That there ' s some comer of a foreign field That is forever England. While his other poems are not unworthy of merit, this poem shows his genius. And think, this heart, all evil shed away A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends ; and gentleness. In hearts at peace, under an English heaven. Of the second class is Mildred Huxley ' s poem, Subalterns. The speaker is represented as being an old English college who has seen her sons go to war with proud surrender and emphasizes the sacrifice that they have made. Yet here and there some graybeard breathed derision. Too much of luxury! too soft an age! Your careless Galahads will see no vision. Your knights will make no mark on honour ' s page. No mark? Go ask the broken fields of Flanders, Ask the great dead who watched in ancient Troy, Ask the old moon as ' round the earth she wanders. What of the boys who were my hope and joy? 22 The Branksome) Slogan In the last verse she visualizes their final reward for their complete sacrifice. ' ' They who had all, gave all. Their half-writ story Lies in the empty halls they knew so well. But they, the knights of God, shall see His glory, And find the Grail ev ' n in the fields of hell. Another poem like Subalterns is The Spires of Oxford, by Winifred Letts. The author is passing through Oxford when she sees the grey spires of Oxford against the pearl-grey sky. Seeing the spires, she is reminded of the men who left their happy University life and went abroad to die. Rudyard Kipling wrote two poems during the war which, although not as beautiful as some, are very good. These two poems are : For All We Have and Are and Who Dies if England Live. In these poems he exhorts the young men of England to fight to the utmost for the Motherland. A famous war poem, In Flanders Fields, was written by a Canadian, John McCrae. The author, who was on active service, died a few months later. The poem needs no introduction or explanation. In Flanders fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place ; and in the sky The larks still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Loved and were loved, and now we Ue In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from failing hands we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. The beauty of the poetry written during the war lies in its interpretation of the noble self-sacrifice, unfailing endurance, unflinching courage and flaming patriotism of the young men of England who went to the front. This poetry shows the attitude of scorn which existed to this age and how gloriously it was refuted. These gave their lives away, Poured out the red, sweet wine of youth. — Rupert Brooke. MARY BECKER, Form V (Clan Ross). The Branksome Slogan 23 A Legend The story of the Occident And how it got its name, Is very like the camel ' s hump, Which rose so high to fame. Once, long ago, the Orient Was highly civilized; Its sailors scoured the fartherest seas. Their trophies v ere so prized. And one bold captain sailed so far, Beneath the pale moonlight, He found the West by Accident And christened it that night. CAROLINE BULL, Form V. Coral Wool I w ind a ball of coral w ool And think of a sea-shell, glistening, cool. I knit a stitch of the glow ing thread, And dream of the sun ' s path over- head. With needles of jade I can fashion a shawl. And a soft, playful kitten can worry my ball ; So I knit in a little of coral wool To recapture the thoug ht of a sunlit pool. WILMA BATE, Form V. Evening The sky in the West is crimson and gold. The day that was new now becomes old. The sun which sees both joy and sorrow, Sinks with a smile that says : See you tomorrow. The lanterns of heaven hang high in the sky. The wind in the tall trees just seems to sigh. All work and harsh noises of daytime cease. All is silent and the world is at peace. BETTY GORDON, Form IV (Clan Douglas). Things I Like the Best These are things I like the best, — Golden sands on which to rest. Great white breakers tumbling in, Water warm in which to swim. My own horse on which to ride, My own dog to run beside, My own room in my own style, With my own books to browse awhile. Summer sports and winter too, Camping trips with my canoe. Tramping hills in winter snow, Skiing, hockey, — cheeks aglow. And now I think it is time for me To go and lie beside the sea. Until somebody comes to say, ' Tis time for me to work today. EDITH KIRK. Form II A. 24 Th Branksome S1.0GAN Sporting Difficulties There is a catch of nasty sort In whatsoever line of sport. With golf the caddies are not kind, And balls are very hard to find. In swimming, water ' s very cold And waves are really far too bold. At football you are kicked around; At bridge you cannot make a sound. But far the hardest sport of all Is driving cars — they always stall! Start up the engine with a din, It stops before the clutch is in. Dig in the clutch and change the gear ! Accelerate ! it ' s very clear. Let out the clutch ! A bit too late— The car behind has found its fate. Before you ' re half way down the street You ' re getting muddled with your feet. Just at the bend the world turns blue — You ' ve met a car — your Waterloo. A passing lorry forms a wedge Which pins you tight into the hedge. You then begin to swear and cuss And turn right over, which is wuss. And so, though tennis seems too fast, And croquet keenness cannot last, There simply isn ' t any doubt But driving cars should be ruled out. CAROLINE BULL, Form V. After the Rain Fitter, patter, drops the rain, Gently on the window-pane, Softly to the buds below, Just to let the flowers know, Winter ' s over, spring is here. And to the sick they seem to say: We too have had our lonely day. So cheer up ! Never mind ! For I am sure that you will find That after rain the sun will shine, And now it ' s their turn to bring cheer. And gladden your heart just as mine. ' JEAN MACDONALD, Form I A (Clan Stewart).

The Trip to Muskoka, Feb. 12, 1932 After much debate internal as to whether there would be sufficient snow for inexperienced ski-ers to fall in with any degree of comfort, a party of fourteen young hopefuls was finally assembled. We were well looked after by five gay chaperons w ith Miss Smellie at the head, and the train trip to Gravenhurst passed quickly and happily. Thanks to Miss Read ' s kindness we were fed to our ' hearts ' content on turkey sandwiches, cake and bananas, so we set off most optimistically from Gravenhurst for the three-mile ride to Muskoka Beach Inn. Most of the party ski-ed on Saturday, heroically braving the blizzard and the never-to-be-forgotten ' ' board walk. The next morning, stiffly but eagerly, we joined in the treasure hunt, a treat for which we are all grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Alderson. Miss Smellie ' s sharp eyes discovered the prize, a box of chocolates. The hours literally fled from us, filled with ski-ing, a sleigh ride, and tobagganing by moonlight; and with heavy hearts we packed our com- fortable togs and prepared to face civilization once more. Monday morning came all too quickly after a somewhat sleepless night, punctuated by grunts from Stuffy and Soupy, who had had the misfortune to draw tickets for upper berths. Then school again, and Muskoka only a happy memory.

When the flowers awaken from their sleep, Under the snow and ground so deep. Next comes Summer with its cheery call, Holidays for one and all.

MURIEL SINCLAIR, Form II B (Clan MacAlpine) 28 Thk Branksome Slogan The Arab Sherif We were in Morocco at Easte r- time, which is the green and flowery season of perfect sumnier weather, before the great heat of the itropi- cal sun has left only a dry, yellow desert where a few sweltering cattle and Arabs toil and sleep, unchanged since before the days of Solomon. Here excessive wealth looks down from its palace windows on diseased poverty dozing in the shade of the wall on the street below, where black slaves and ladies of high degree share to- gether the honour of being pashas ' wives; and where horrible odours mingle with ravishing perfumes. As one wanders through the souks one sees here a touch of ancient splendour and Eastern magnificence, and there a filthy and barbaric poverty, through all of which runs a surprising ele- ment of modern France. In the ancient city of Fez we visited a wealthy Arab Sherif. The only distinction which amounts to anything in Morocco is divine origin, and any man who can claim this is endowed with wealth and position by his fellows, out of respect to the prophet. Such a man was this Sherif, and we were much honoured by being his guests. It was noon when we went to his palace, an enormous square build- ing, plain and grey on the outside, and so rich and brilliant within as to be almos ' t gaudy, were it not for the fine quality of its workmanship. Four or five tiers of gaily coloured balconies overlooked the square court- yard around which the palace was built. In a large alcove at one side. arranged in fine silks and seated on a throne of iluxurious cushions, reigned the enormous sherif, imperial as a Sultan. He did not rise to greet us, but bowed majestically from his couoh, and graciously desired us to sit on cushions at his feet. He did not offer us peppenmint-tea or sipicy cakes, as is the usual Arab custom, but, being a travelled man, he de- livered to us his impression of France and other nations, assisting his falter- ing French with comical noises and gesticulations. After a short time he called one of his servants to show us a few gorgeous rooms of his ornate palace ; on our way we met several of his children, but we were not per- mitted to see any of his wives, though we heard their silly, noisy laughter issuing from behind closed doors. When we returned to the court- yard our host was standing ready dressed for the street in the coarse, soiled robes worn over their finer clothing by all Arabs when outside their homes. Then he led us through the souks. We wondered whether he intended taking us to visit another wealthy Arab, or if he was just show- ing us the extra courtesy of escorting us home. Every now and then we met a group of dark- faced, hooded Mohammedans dancing in the street, and as we passed their sinister looks and strange, uncanny intonations filled us with terror, while their wild cries and tuneless singing, accom- panied by the incessant pleadings and threats of coumtless beggar- women and children did much to The Branksome; Slogan 29 turn us from dauntless Britishers into shameless poltroons. Soon, however, we oame to a little shop, somewihat cleaner than some of the other native shops. Through the low, open doorway OUT host led us into this little shop, and we, supposing him to be patron- izing some poor friend or relative, were hardily prepared for the dis- illusionment which followed. Here, as in the palace, the majesitic Arab provided us with cushions to sit on, while he himself sat behind a low counter where, to our bewilderment. turning suddenly from aristocrat into salesman. Then he spread before our eyes countless Moroccan leather goods which he intended us to buy. Unfortunately, by this time, we could hardly refuse. When finally we rose to leave the sherif again bowed his ceremonious bow, but did not rise from his cushions; and we turned towards home amazed at the strange mixture of pompous magnificence and crafty commerce comibined in one wily Mohammedan.

Eleanor Hamilton, Joyce Sweatman, Ruth Stock, Charlotte Abbott, Irla Mueller, Winnifred Gibson, Shipley McEvoy. She is not as f.iir to outward view As many maidens ' be ; Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me. This is Eleanor Hamilton ' s fifth 3 ear at Branksome, She has always taken a keen interest in the school. Besides playing lacrosse, she has very ably acted as Chieftain of the Mcl ean Clan. She is entering Toronto Uni- versity this year and we all wish her every success. There be those whose k t far other- wise is cast. Ruth Stock, who is now ending her third year at Branksome, has, during that time attained the noble standard of an officer in the school. In September Ruth was installed as one of our new Prefects. A few weeks later she was made president of the Opheleo Society ::nd has done excellent work. May I wish Ruth, on behalf of us all here at 32 The Branksome Slogan Branksome Hall, health, success and happiness for the years to come. Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate. Lillice Read, one of our House prefects, is a Toronto girl who has been at Branksome for the last four years. She is on the first hockey team, and is an enthusiastic player of tennis, badminton, and basket- ball, and by her splendid enthusiasm has done much to encourage oithers to take part. Lillice holds the Diploma of the Royal Life Saving Society, w ' hich is the highest award granted. Just being happy is the thing she likes to do Looking on the bright side rather than the blue. Winnifred Gibson, a day prefect born in Toronto, has attended Branksome for the last five years. She is the Chieftain of the MacLeod Clan. Debs is one of our best students and an ardent sportswoman. We shall all miss Winnifred very much next year, when she goes to Varsity. Nothing can withhold success from one w ho has the will to suc- ceed and the aibility to work. Elizabeth Brydon, who lives in Brampton, has been at Branksome for three years. This year she is a Clan Chieftain and the Editor of the Slogan. She enters into sports en- thusiastically and has proved an excel- lent forward on the first Basketball team. Next year Libs is planning to go to MacDonald Hall at Guelph. A dear, a true industrious friend. Irla Mueller comes from Water- loo and has ' been in ' the school for three year-s. She is Secretary- Treasurer of the Beta Kappa. Irla holds the same position on our first hockey team as she held last year and is also on our lacrosse team, while she enters into all the other sports. She expects to enter McGill University next fall and we shall all be sorry to see her go. Few hearts like hers with virtue warm, Few heads with knowledge so in- formed. Clare Brown, a Vancouverite, though she only came to Branksome after Christmas last year, has won a place in the hearts of all. Her amazing capacity for work and play has raised her to the position of Head Girl. Her willingness to lend a help- ing hand to all proves Dickens ' words : There is nothing better than the faithful service of the heart. Camie has entered enthusiastically into sports this year. Our good wishes go with her. Young as I am, yet would I do my best. An open-hearted maiden true and pure. Joyce Sweatman is now completing her eleventh year and has only once failed to obtain general proficiency. She is one of our clan chieftains and takes an interest in all sports. Although we are confident that Joyce The; Branksome Slogan 33 will be well qualified for University she is as yet undecided as to her plans for next winter. Best of luck, Joyce, whatever they may be! A comrade blithe and full of glee. Shirley M ' cEvoy, a Torontonian, is completimg her eighth year in the school. This is her first year as a boarder but she stood out among the day girls, in previous yeans, as a keen enthusiast and lover of sports. Althoug h -she is on the second basiket ball team, her favourite sport is badminton; and this year she was one of the win- ners in the doubles. She is chieftain of the McAlpine Clan. The hand that hath made you fair hath made you good. Florence Wilson assumes a keen interest in all school activities, having been elected president of The Beta Kappa Society. She participates in sports, liking tennis and basketball best. Best of luck at Varsity next year. ' ' Endurance, truth, and rarity, Grace in all simplicity. Charlotte Abbott, from Kingston, has been a boarder at Branksome for seven years.- Charlotte is secre- tar} of the Ophelio Society and is interested in all school activities. Her favourite sports are badminton and lacrosse. HOCKEY Daphne Mitchell, J earn Ross, Peggy Waldie, Jean Gordon, Mwjorie Lighthurne.

Basketball Report For this year ' s basketball there was a splendid turn out, not only of those trying for first and second teams, but also for third and fourth. Then, too, there were the inter-clan games which enabled even more players to take part in the basket- ball. Under the skilful coaching of Miss Smellie, all teams thoroughly enjoyed their practice and profited greatly by her instruction. The first team games were very exciting and although beaten sev- eral times the team still felt enthus- iastic and was prepared to try harder next time. All the games this year were well attended and the teams heartily cheered on by the rooters. The first team games were as fol- lows : — B.H.S. vs. Havergal at B.H.S. won by Havergal, score, 28—25; B.H.S. vs. B.S.S. at B.H.S., won by B.S.S. , score, 22 — 12; B.H.S. vs. Moulton at Moulton, score, 16—16; B.H.S. vs. Havergal at Hav- ergal, won by B.H.S., score, 28 — 24; B.H.S. vs. Moulton at B.H.S., won by Moulton, score, 15 — 14. MARY WARDLAW. (Clan Campbell). 34 The Branksome Slogan 35 Swimming With the commencement of school in September the girJs eagerly started swimming. Classes, under the guidance of Miss Ronald- son, were begun — f or beginners to im- prove their strokes, for non-divers to enter the water head first, for divers to obtain poise in mid-air, and for any one to learn life-saving. Last spring LilHce Read obtained her diploma; Dorothy Apedaile and Mary Wardlaw their awards of merit ; Arnold Gooderham her bronze me- dallion, and Arnold Gooderham and Marjorie Apedaile their proficiency and elementary certificates. This year the system of trying tests represented by different coloured caps has been revived. Each girl who passes one of these tests gains so many marks for her olan until finally she succeeds in obtainimg the school cap. A senior inter-c ' lan swimming meeft is to be held on April the twenty-third, in which there will be keen competition between the clans. Final swimming meets will be held in May or June, at w hich both the Senior and Junior girls will com- pete for the iswimming cups. The Senior Swimming Gup, a gift oi Mary Barker, was won last spring by Joan Knowlton, and the Junior Cup, la gift of Lenore Gooderham, by Virginia Copping. LILLICE REAiD. (Clan MacAlpine). TH Branksome Slogan 36 The School Dance Tbe annual School Dance was held on Friday evening, January the twenty-ninth. Miss Read and Clare Brown received the guests, who numbered about two hundred. The decorations this year were particularly attractive. Across the balcony coloured lights were strung, with the school flag as a back- ground. The large lights were ef- fectively draped with the school colours, and great bunches of gay baloons hung below the streamers. Various school pennants added much to the colour and variety of Ihe decorations. Supper was served between the eighth and ninth dances, after which the balloons were let down, serpen- tine and colourful balls were thrown about, contributing greatly to the hilarity of the occasion. Everyone was genuinely sorry when Burton Till and his orchestra after an excellent programme played God Save the King. MARGARET McKAY, (Clan Douglas). The Carol Service It has been our custom for several years to hold a Carol Service in Rosedale Presbyterian Church, next door to the school, just before we close for the Christmas holidays. This year we thought it would be nicer to have it on a Sunday night than during the week, because it would be a more convenient time for most of our friends. At seven o ' clock, Sunday evening, December 13th, the sdhool filed into the church, little Jocelyn Hodge, carrying a lovely silver star, led the procession, followed by the prefects with the S ' chool flags, while the girls sang The First Nowell as the pro- cessional hymn. Nora Conklin, one or our school- mates, sang a solo and took a solo part in one of the carols, Mrs. Ken- nedy, without whose aible leadership we would have been at a loss, helped us again this year. The Juniors sang some carols, under Miss Shaw ' s direction, and a very pretty French song taught them by Mademoiselle. Miss Phyllis Hollinrake, one o f our alumnae, very kindly consented to play a harp solo. Many of our parents and friends attended and the service came to a lovely conclusion in the recessional hymn, In Excelsis Gloria. FLORENCE WILSON. (Clan Douglas). dm Once again our year ' s work, both in gym. and games, culminated in our annual gym. display on Friday, the sixth of May, at Varsity Arena. As always, it was well attended by both parents and friends, and judg- ing from the acclamations received we feel we may be proud of our efforts. At exactly 8.15 o ' clock the pro- gramme opened with the form march led by prefects and seniors. The singing of Canada was fol- lowed by the placing of the flags, and then the floor was cleared for the Swedish gymnastics of the Junior school. Just as the fundamental gymnas- tics of the Senior school are adopted from the gymnastics of the Gym- nastic Folk High School at Allerup, Denmark, so these are adopted from those oi Froken Elli Bjorksten Uni- versity o f Helsingfors, Finland. The girls gave a very clear conception of the work that is carried on there. This was followed by a German dance executed by Fourth and Fifth forms. Relays proved a slight diversion, and the Juniors completed the first half of the programme with a very pretty piece of descriptive work entitled the Fairies Play- time. The second part was almost wholly composed of dancing by both Junior and Senior forms, this being 37 interspersed with gymnastics and wand exercises. A new experiment was tried this year in having gymnastics per- formed by a special group as well as the whole Senior school. This num- ber was brought to a close ' by a very successful exhibition of jumping which proved to be a novelty to the audience. At the close of the wand exercises which succeeded this, the whole school gathered for the clos- ing number. As last year, the dans were well represented — once in a relay, and again in the final march. It was the first time the finale has ever taken the form of a march of the clans, and it presented a new picture to our parents and friends of how we carry on our work. The singing of the National Anthem closed the annual performance, which we may be justified in calling one of our best. Being accustomed to giving an exhibition of our work every year, it is rather hard to vary the pro- gramme. Miss Smellie and Miss Ronaldson may be duly congratu- lated on their success in managing this rather difficult feat. Many thanks are also due to Miss Grieg, who always proves willing to help us with her accompaniments. The perseverance and patience of all three must be limitless. 38 The: Branksome Slogan Danish Gymnastics The middle of last fall it was To- ronto ' s great privilege to be visited by Neils Bukh and his athletes. They are young people, both girtls and boys, w ho of their own free will have undertaiken this fascinating study of fundamental gymnastics and folk dancing. The demonstration was given in the Varsity Arena before about ifour thousand enthusiastic admirers. I think that it proved pariticularly interesting to the Branksome girls, who were able to be present, for we, in our own physical training classes, under the supervision of Miss Smellie, have tried many of these exercises, both the most simple ones and also those so intricate that at times we doubt if, even in a year, we will be Me to execute them. Each motion. in these exercises, was done by the twelve people with such perfect co- ordination as to give the semblance of one. At times, soft lullabys were hummed by the girls while they danced. The easy grace and rhythmic motion of the girls and the strong, muscular bodies of the boys reminded us of all we have ever seen or read of the ancient Greeks. Exceptional tumbling was accomplished by the boys. In conclusion, the boys and girls together danced the folk-dances of their country. After iseeing this remarkable ex- hibition we all feel very fortunate in having a physical training teacher who has taken such an active in- tere st in Danish gymnastics and so generously shares her knowledge with us. WINIFRED GIBSON. The Branksome Slogan 39 The Visit of the Danish Girls A very interesting and enjoyaiMe event during the Christmas term was the over-night stay of the twelve Danish girls, here at school. They arrived in the morning of Tuesday, November the seventeenth, and came up to school at twelve o ' clock. The whole school welcomed them in the gymnasium and sang O Canada, and in return they sang their Danish National Anthem for us. That evening a special dinner was given in their honour, at which we had several guests, including Mr. Klein, the Danish Consul, and Mrs. Klein, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Reed, Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Towl and Mr. Niels Bukh himself. Each prefect had the honour of escorting one of the Danish girls down to dinner. Clare Brown pro- posed a toast to the Danish group and Niels Bukh replied to it, much to everyone ' s delight. That night we attended their excellent demonstration in Varsity Arena. Wednesday morning we all got up exceptionally early, to see the girls off. It seemed very hard to believe that they were strangers, even after such la s ' hort acquaintance. If any of us are lucky enough to attend Niels Bukh school, it will indeed be thrilling to see these girls again. ELIZABETH BRYDON. (Clan MacGregor). 40 Thk Branksome: Slogan The Opheleo Society HEAD GIRL Clare Brown The Opheleo Society is still con- tinuing its work of service in Brank- some, and we have been able to send the usual sums to the various chari- table organizations in which our school is interested. The officers elected by the senior school for this year were : — President — Ruth Stock; Vice- President — Louise Spencer; Secre- tary — Charlotte Abbott; Treasurer — Gwynneth Sinclair ; Committee — Dorothy Apedaile, Helen Conway, Margaret Fraser, Barbara Hutton. To give the chronological account of our endeavours, let me begin with ' ' Ramabai Week. This is a week in the Autumn during which every girl does her best to help the society to raise the sum of $250.00, which is sent to the Ramabai Mission in India. The money is raised in dif- ferent ways; all the girls in the school give a contribution. The Resident girls eat plainer food for a week, hot dogs are sold one day at recess, and a Ramabai Enter- tainment — consisting of a number of clan competitions — is held the Friday evening before Ramabai Week, for which ten cents admis- sion is charged, and refreshments are sold at the end of the entertain- ment. On Poppy Day and on the tag-day for the Blind, the officers of the Ophelio Society tagged diligently before school and at recess. These were our only tag-days, and the re- sults w ere very satisfactory. Every year the Opheleo Society provides Christmas cheer for one or two poor families, but this year, instead of sending large boxes of food and clothing directly to the families, our gifts were distributed by the Red Cross. During Lent the Society held a special collection, the proceeds of which were used for the support of a teacher in an Indian Mission, an Indian orphan girl, x vantika, and the ' ' Branksome Hall Bed in the Ludhiana Hospital in India. Any money remaining from the Lenten collection, together with the proceeds of the Strawberry Festival in June, will be sent to the Univer- sity Settlement Fresh Air Fund. This year we had the great pleasure of hearing two missionaries who came to the school to speak to us. Miss Dorothy Kilpatrick told us The: Branksome: Slogan 41 about missionary work in India, and Mrs. Longley spoke to us on girls ' education in China. Some of the girls have been knit- ing scarfs at Miss Dorothy Kilpat- trick ' s suggestion, which are to be sent to India. An Afghan has also been made for the Branksome Hall Bed in the Ludhiana hospital. It is with great pride and pleas- ure that I report another success- ful year. The society, through the willing co-operation of the girls with the officers, has continued to live up to the high ideals expressed in its name, ' T serve. CHARLOTTE ABBOTT. (Clan MacAlpine). Beta Kappa At the beginning of each year the girls of the Senior School elect offi- cers for the Beta Kappa Society. For the school year 1931-32, the fol- lowing were chosen : Honorary President — Miss Read. President — Florence Wilson. Vice-President — Grace Bone. 2nd Vice-President — Dorothy Stock. Sec.-Treas. — Iria Mueller. Convener of Debating — Natalie Campbell. Convener of Music — Nora Conklin. Committee — Margaret McKay, Lillice Read. The first Friday night, Sept. 11, there were indoor siports. The New Girls put on a very good entertainment, Sept. 18. The Council of Seven performed the very sdlemn initiation of the New Girls on Sept. 25. October 2nd, Miss Marshall Saun- ders gave us a very interesting talk on her birds and toads. October 30th was the Masquerade, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. This year Miss Read and the Staff put on a Clan Contest. This was exceptionally good. Quality Street was performed by the Fifth Form. It was the only play given this year by any of the Senior Forms. The first and second Friday nights in December were spent in practising the Carols. February 5th, Miss Saunders again gave us a delightful talk on Her Home in Halifax. The fdllowing Friday night, the Juniors of Scott House gave an im- promptu entertainment. It was also the week end that the Prefects and Seniors spent at Muskoka, accom- panied by members of the staff. February 19th, Miss Smith made us realize the hardships o ' f the Rus- 42 Thk Branksome Slogan sians in connection with the Five- Year Plan. The first Friday night in March, Mrs. Longiley, a new friend of the school, gave us a thrilling accomnt of her life in China. The following Friday night was The French Evening. The girlts sang songs and also performed, La Farce du Cuvier and Les Animaux Malades de la Peste. Friday, 18th, the Senior Girls put on The Scottish Brides, taken from Patience. It was ably con- ducted by our principal. Miss Read, while Miss Gairns acted as accom- panist. On April 8th Madame de Kresz played for us. The girls were simply entranced and we hope she may return to us again in the near future. IRLA MUELLER. (Clan Campbell). The Operetta Wee McGregor Nora Conklin Sandy Stewart Dorothy Apedaile Roderick McAlpine Molly Forin Donald MacLeod Eleanor Gibson Dugald Ross Shirley McEvoy Rory Campbell Ida Mueller James Douglas Margaret McKay Angus McLean Lillice Read Rob Roy MacGregor Louise Spencer Chorus of House and Day Girls. The senior resident girls put on an operetta entitled The Scottish Brides adapted from Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Patience, the plot being re- moulded into an imaginary epoch in the life of B.ranksome Hall. Discovering that the clan system was employed in Branksome Hall, nine Scottish clansmen arrived in the full splendour of kilts, red coats and flam- ing complexions, to close the ischool since Scottish Clams must not exist outside of Scotland. The re- action of the girls to this announce- ment and the admiration roused in the hearts of the clansmen for the ibonnie lassies, however, result in a compromise : that the school will not be closed on condition that a Branksome girl will return as bride with each of the clansmen. The heart-rending grief of the girls as this plan is put into execution brings the first act to a dramatic close. In the last act, the Scottish clans- men unexpectedly admit having played a joke on the girls and with pompous solemnity, remove their disguise and reveal themselves to their aston- ished brides as the various Os- walds, Henrys and Stuffys from St. Andrew ' s. The curtain descends on a happy finale. Great credit goes to Nora Conklin and Billy Jones for their excellent rendering of isolo parts; to Miss Gairns for her splendid assistance at the piano, and lasit but not least, to Miss Read, who was the author, stage manager, designer of cos- tumes, business manager, assistant director and director all in one.

Sailing An azure sky, a sparkling lake, A fleecy cloudlet calmly floating, A stiff breeze, a full sail, Oh what can compare with the joys of boating? A delicate bow ploughing the waves, Slashing them into foamy bubbles. Soon left behind, small swirling eddies. Lost from view as are all our troubles.

GWYNNETH SINCLAIR, Form IV (Clan MacGregor). 46 The Branksomj: Slogan In the Midst of the Forest In the deep of the night, when all is still, When the moon has risen above the hill. Each little star is shining bright. Shining forth its own starlight. In the distance you hear the wolf ' s cry. And then again his mate ' s reply, Or across the sky flies a loon. Like a long black shadow in front of the moon. Down to the water ' s edge comes a deer. From the midst of the forest he does appear. From the cool lake water he takes his drink. Then back to the forest he then does slink. And then in the east appears the dawn. Then back to the wood scampers the fawn. To hide himself from the hunter ' s eye. To wait again till night draws nigh. Once again the birds leave their nest. Joyful and happy after their rest. And when comes the setting of the sun. They again fly home after their fun. MARY KINGSMILL, Form II B (Clan Stewart). The Branksome Cat 1932 One day in the autumn, a puss did arrive. Quite soft and petite, like a ball of grey fluff. It caused much confusion, the school was alive, Revision of baby talk, nonsense and stuff. The juniors did lodge it in their spacious house, And taught it to watch for a dear little mouse. The teachers did love it, the work was undone, To play with the kitten was twice as much fun. And as it grew older the cat loved to roam. To scamper all over a different new home. The seniors did find it engaged in its play, Contented with our house, determined to stay. Miss xxxxxxxxx just loves our darling new cat. And thinks it could capture a power- ful rat. Miss X X X X X just detests it, and tells of her hate, If she could but own it, I pity its fate. The cat ' s favourite spot is Miss x x x ' s warm abode. It loves its fresh milk and nice things a la mode. It sits by the hole on the top of the frige. And catches the mice as they come o ' er the ridge.

SHIRLEY McEVOY, Form V (Clan MacAlpine). Imagination I want to travel through lands so strange. Through lands that are queer and new, But, I ' ll never get beyond the ran ge That my two eyes bring to view. I would like to see streets paved in gold And gates that are pearly white, But I ' ll never go till I ' m old as old. Though I wish with all my might. To see two moons in a purple sky Would certainly bring me delight, And people different from you and I Like angels garbed in white. So, when I want to visit lands afar And have to return too soon — I catch the tail of the nearest star And go up and visit the moon.

Where gay birds sing and black squirrels leap. O ' er the stream where the willow bends low, Unwearyingly watching the soft ripples flow, Little bridges of mosses and delicate fern Twist themselves round each other in turn. Where shadows are quiet and deep and cool, Where perhaps we may see a rainbow school, Where big brown clusters of nuts fall free, Clasp hands, my friends, and come with me. NANCY STIRRETT (Sr. IV). The Treasure Once lupon a time there lived a little iboy and girl. They were very poor. They tod no mother or f ather so had to live in a broken down shack. One day when they were playing at pirates they saw an old rusty iron ring. They tried to pull it out of the ground but could not so they went and got a pickaxe and dug the eartth out aill around it. They saw it was attached to an old iron box. They opened the box and found it was full of gold pieces. The Government gave them a lot of money for it, and they lived happily ever after. SIDNEY DYMOND, Jr. II. 48 The Branksome Slogan 49 A Day ' s Shopping When I was at Metis Beach in Quebec, two summers ago, I had a hard time finding any suitable gifts for my friends. I was in a French village one day when I saw a small shop, the window of which was very inter- esting. I entered and spoke in Eng- lish to an excitable little Frenchman with a moustache that reached to the tip of each ear, and who said something in French every five seconds. . . . Oh! ' Ello! ' Ello! What can I do for you, Mademoiselle? Milk ? ? ? I am so zorry, but we do not keep cows. You wish to have seelk ? Ho ! Ho ! It is my meestake, pardon me ! . . . Yes ! Yes ! With this he drew down roll after roll of silk, and rushed around the shop, tripping over chairs and boxes in his effort to get everything that rhymed with ' ' milk or ' silk. I bought some silk and other articles which he tied up in so much paper and in such a strange way, that everyone must have thought I was carrying a stool. After going into every store in sight I disappeared into a fruit shop and was given some rather squashy bananas. I then bought myself an ice cream cone. As I was leaving the place a small boy blew some soda all over me and thought it was extremely funny. When I at last came back to where Pierre, my driver, was sup- posed to be waiting, I found neither Pierre, the horse nor the carriage. I suddenly remembered that the clock had said half past five, it must have been after six then, and Pierre never let any business interfere with his meals. He had gone home ! A kind old French farmer who was going my way, offered to take me home. I had the bumpiest ride I had ever experienced in a rickitty old buggy which completely turned over once, and if it had not been for the roof, I would have had a large bruise on my head. After going into several ditches because of the misbehavior of his horse, which had a different name every second as far as the French farmer was concerned, and backing into four trees with bumps that I did not specially care for, I was at last standing on my own door-step. The bananas were complete mush, so we did not have any in our fruit-salad that night. What a day !

It is ,all made of elm and pine, And aJll the beds are soft and fine. They are as fine las fine can be, And all the fairies dance with glee. MARGARET LUCILI.E HOGARTH, Jr. II. My Diary Last Monday I went s ' hopping (I got a nice new doll), On Tuesday I went hiking (I took with me my bajll), Then Wednesday I went paddling (In the puddle on ' the lawn). On Thursday I went picnicing (I saw a lovely fawn), On Friday I was motoring (I saw a darling lamb). But Saturday was bad (I went fingering the jam). FRANCEAN CAMPBELL, Jr. IV. The Bird Fight Once upon a time some sparrows were playing in a little girl ' s garden. One day when the little sparrows were playing there they saw a little bluebird fly up in a tree. Now we all know that the sparrows do not like the other little birds. They thought the bluebird was going to eat up all their food, so they flew at her and tried to hurt her, but the little bluebird was ready for them and she started to fight. The fight did not last very long because the cat next door came out and saw them. As soon as they saw the cat the sparrows flew away as f ast as they could but the bluebird was hurt in the wing and could not fly very far, she flew up on the window sill. Now, the little girl saw the blue- bird ' s wing was bleeding so she took it in and bathed its wing. Then for two weeks she fed it and looked after it and then she let it go. But every day it came back and perched on the window and it never forgot the kind little girl. ANN GOODERHAM, Jr. II. The Blue Bird Little baby blue bird. Lying in her nest, Saw a baby robin With a speckled breast. Hello, said baby Blue bird, Are you going to have your rest? No, said baby robin, I am getting a nice new vest. ANN GOODERHAM, Jr. II. The Branksomi; Slogan 51 Happiness and Sad Happiness met Sad one day, Good morning, friend, said he, Tis but a lovely day I ' m sure, A pleasure ' tis to me. Oh dearie me, oh dearie me! Said Sad, wiho was so blue, How can you think of pyleasant things That are not really true? Ah, my good friend, said Happi- ness, You are a silly man. Life has many a happy day. Enjoy tihem while you can. FRANCEAN CAMPBELI., Jr. IV. Skis A long, white slope, Criiisp snow, fir-trees. Sun, snow and sky, A pair of skis. The whirling snow. All worries free. With Siun and snow. And a pair of skis. PENEEOPE WALDIE, Jr. III. Daybreak I woke upon a sweet warm mom in June, The sun had not risen from the hills; The sward was thick with dew: on every branch Were birds, who swelled their little throats with hymns, Praising the beauteous morning : and a mist Hung low upon the valley, where it lay, A pale transparent scarf of silver hue. Dark towering trees, as shadows, stood beyond In ghostly silence ; and a neighbouring cat Stalked slowly, all majestic, ' cross the lawn, A distant cock-crow floated through the air. Sweet fragrance of the new-cut grass rose up; Straight through the grove of firs a murmur ran, Then, lo ! the sun shone forth, and all was still. KATHARINE CANNON (Sen.

The Branksome Slogan 55 How to Make The Brank- some Teachers Like you 1. Never rise when a teacher en- ters the class room, hut remain seated, staring dumbly at the black- board. 2. When the teacher is at the hardest, and most important part of an explanation, suddenly close the window with a loud bang, thus en- tirely distracting the attention of the class. 3. When a teacher is about to give out test papers, have abso- lutely no material ready, but make a frightful noise while hunting dili- gently for pen, paper, ink, etc. 4. Suddenly brighten up, and when the long-suffering teacher at last thinks you are able to answer a question, raise your hand briskly and in a loud voice ask, May I please fill my pen? 5. When something important has just been explained very clearly, and at length, suddenly ask your neigh- bour in a tense whisper (one that everybody cannot fail to hear), What does all that mean? 6. When the teacher asks you for some homework, which she had carefully pointed out that the class was to do, explain, cheerfully, that you just happened to forget to do it. 7. Fail in all your examinations. A Branksome Maiden ' s Lament (In the form of an ancient ballad) I lay in bed so comfy; Oh dear, oh dear, oh help me! I heard a bell so clangy; Oh, it was clamorous. I stayed in sheets so clean, Oh dear, oh dear, oh help me! I lay in bed to dream; Oh, it was wonderful. I still slept on so long; Oh dear, oh dear, oh help me ! I hea rd a warning gong, Oh, it was boisterous. Yet still my bed was downy; Oh dear, oh dear, oh help me! The room was cold and icy; Oh, I was shivering. Once more a bell knell rang; Oh dear, oh dear, oh help me ! From bed I quickly sprang; Oh, it was so late. Five minutes still to go; Oh dear, oh dear, oh help me! I frantic, hurried so, But I also was tardy. I ought to be so sharp; Oh dear, oh dear, oh help me ! Miss Smellie gave me marks, Alack and I was gated.

Many members of the Alumnae were amazed to have it brought to their notice that Miss Read completes her twenty-fifth year at Branksome, June, 1932. At the opening exercises in September, Phyllis Hollinrake, accompanied by Cathenine Hyde and IscUbel Ross, last year ' s President and this year ' s Vice-President, presented Miss Read with twenty-five golden roses. By the time the Slogan goes to press her portrait will have been unveiled. It is the work of Mr. Archibald Barnes and Miss Read was very good to give so much of her valu- able time to sittings so that Brank- some might have a portrait of its Principal. It is to hang over the mantelpiece at the back of the draw- ing-room, that place having been chosen by Mr. Barnes. Old girls will be interested to hear of the marriages of two former mem- bers of the staff, Miss Matheson to Mr. David Duncan in August and Miss Forbes to Mr. Allan Roy in Septem- ber.

Miss Read and the President, Phyllis Hol- linrake, received the guests, who num- bered three hundred and fifty, in the gymnasium, which was decorated with the school colours. The centrepiece on the middle table was most effective, a replica of the original Branksome Tower in spun sugar about two feet high, with the motto Keep the Road over the door. The following toasts were proposed : ' ' The King, by Katharine Boyd; The School, by Mary McLean, after which the school song, Up and On, was sung.

Then followed a harp solo by Mrs. Dorothy Johnston Beseler, the well- known harpist, who arranged her visit with Phyllis Hollinrake to coincide with the dinner party. We are, in- deed, indebted to both Mrs. Beseler and Phyllis for providing this rare treat and feel that it was a most appro- priate and fitting setting for the cele- bration of Miss Read ' s twenty-fifth anniversary at Branksome. A short business meeting followed. The officers were re-elected for the coming year. Jean Morton was ap- pointed Treasurer of the Building Fund in the place of Annabel Auld, whose resignation we were forced re- gretfully to accept.
