THREE STEPS to SUMMER CH I C THE PIQUE JACKET Ts terribly smart. And if it has a swagger cut and adds a little length such as this copy of a New York import we have sketched, it becomes one of the Fashion finds of the season. In white, priced only $2.95. You wear it over sports frocks, over striped or figured silks, over dinner and dance frocks. THE SWEATER SET Is endorsed by no less an Authority than Vogue, who states, The minute chic ladies set foot on Bermuda, they dash .... to stock up on the sweater-and-cardigan uni- form. Smart New Yorkers wear it when indulging in the fashionable new pastime of two-wheeler roller-skating at the Mall in Central Park. Sweater set sketched, $4.95. Others, $3.95 and up. THE SWIMMING SUIT Must be brief, ready for brisk activity in the water and bear up smartly on the beach. Such is the simple bathing suit we illustrate, with its trim ribbed waistline, modish sun-tan decolletage, and choice of gay 1933 shades. The price is a sure bid for popularity — $2.95.

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.

Perhaps they do not possess great beauty or great wealth. But they know to perfection the art of dress. As an artist surveys his canvas, so do they plan their clothes. They choose nothing that is lack- ing in fineness of material, workmanship, and lime. In all likelihood their clothes are by Holt, Renfrew, whege frocks, coats, furs, lingerie, millin- ery, gloves, and hose are a revelation of all that may be exquisite.

Its fame 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 well 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 The Road Mankind today is weaving a very gloomy and troubled pattern into the history of the world. Even in Canada, where conditions have been compara- tively favourable, the ' ' depression has made itself acutely felt. It is as though we were standing in a dark land facing a cloudy future, uncertain even of the ground beneath our feet, and forced to hear on every hand the myriad cries of poverty and want. Our own city of Toronto has one htmdred and eighty thousand persons on direct city relief. Endless bankrupt sales and lengthening bread-lines are stories in themselves — stories of heartbreak. Neither does the depression stop at bodily needs. It goes deeper. Sordid materialism with its resultant cynicism; privation with its resultant hopelessness; and, embracing all, fear, cannot but affect the morale, not only of our Dominion but of the world. We of Branksome Hall, both as individuals and as a school, have our own work to do and our part to play at this time of financial gloom and spiritual perplexity. The depression has not reduced our ranks and we are proud of having been able to make our various annual contributions to worthy causes at home and abroad. Yet the times are such that we have increasing opportuni- ties, and, therefore, increasing responsibilities to serve humanity. Someone has remarked that if the word die is taken from depression , two very different words remain — press on . In connection with this, we might recall that only last year our school motto was changed to the inscription carved over the door of the old Branksome tower in Scotland, Keep Well the Road . That road is at present leading us through strange uncertain lands. 17 18 The Branksome S1.0GAN Ivet us, as loyal members of Branksome Hall, humbly strive our utmost to Keep Well the Road and, not only in spite of adverse conditions, but because of them — press on! I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead And mountains of wearisome height; That the road passes on through the long afternoon And stretches away to night . SPRING SONG The f ragrance of ithe blooming flowers All speak (to us of spring ; Exulting lin the leafy ibowers, The early spring birds sing; The lark sends up his blithesome air, Winds oarol music everywhere. The bee hums in the flowery dell. The cricket chirps all day; The robin sings near the fresh-turned •soil. The brook glides on its way ; The fairy-pipers pipe for you Since all is song — warble too ! NORA CONKIvIN ( Glan MaoGregor) . THE WIND IN A STORM Shrieking aJloud to the darkening sky, Challenging everything with its cry; Whirling bright leaves around the old farms, Banging the doors of deserted ibarns, Blowing drops of glittering rain. Moaning ' round corners, again and again. Clawing lat treetops, seeking to shake Bright coloured leaves, to follow its wake. This is the wind in its delight. Trying to show us all its might. BETTY JEWETT (Clan Campbell). The Branksome Si ogan 19 YESTERDAY Yesterday it was dilferent, The ground was grey with fallen leaves, The cold bleached oaks stood stately, Wafted by the gentle breeze. Today the sleigh is gliding Over the glittering snow. The world is a jingle of merry bells. Hurrah ! And away we go. But I seem to remember yesterday, With its sodden and faded leaves; I seem to remember yesterday, And ' the silent shivering breeze. MARGARET GIEMOUR (Clan MacGregor). PINE TREES Whispering, Softly chanting Memories of bygone days. Silvery green In the golden moonlight. Their perfume Heavy on the air. Rustling, swaying In the cool night breezes. A whip-poor-will Calls from his leafy nest. The breezes carry it far away And still the trees Hold their memories. BETTY JEWETT (Clan Campbell). 20 The Branksome Slogan Autumn The mist is falling over knoll and hill and tree, Blotting out the very world for me ; The leaves that frolic in the elm ' s crown, Are sick of heart and faint with falling down. The tears that whisper in the wind ' s hoarse voice. The sighs that echo on the hill of lonely trees; The dull faint thud of sodden steps. Unbroken by the sullen mutter of the leaves. But suddenly a robin calling in the east, Breaks the stillness of the Autumn peace. MARGARET GILMOUR (Clan MacGregor). Leaves In Spring and Autumn and all the year round Many beautiful leaves cover the ground. Golden, silver, yellow and green All over the world are to be seen. Children raise their sleepy heads And scamper from their cots or beds. They run an d play among the leaves And catch them as they fall from trees. ' Tis a sad time when all the leaves Are scattered from their mother trees. Covered with a blanket white. They sleep throughout the wintry nig ht. BARBARA THOMPSON (Clan MacAlpine). An Early Ride The Heaven above, and the open air, And my little brown cob beneath me, Is all I ask as over the grass We tear in the beautiful morning. Straight to the right where the rising sun Flames in the eastern sky. The clouds look down as we tear along On this glorious sun-lit morning. GIIvIvIAN WATSON (Clan Stewart). The Old House The old house stands In the lane, Ivonesome and dreary In the rain. Hollow voices Echoing forth From the old Vine-covered porch. A muddy path Leads to the door. The mud is tracked All over the floor. Weeds, choked with age Grow through the wall. The €ob-webs are strung Throughout the hall. BETTY JEWETT (Clan Campbell), The Branksome Slogan 21 Harvest September is a harvest time, The perfect mionth to mafce up rhyme. In the city or in a town The grass takes on a coat of brown. The birds in hundreds flock together To find new homes and sunny weather. The harvest fields are bleak and bare, Content that they have done their share. The leaves turn red and brown and gold, Much too beautiful to be told. The snow will soon be on the ground To cover up the things around. BETTY HARRISON (Clan MacLean). The Brook Bubbling and gurgling every day, The little brook goes on its way. Ruiming onward, over the stones, Singing all sorts of beautiful tunes. Trout lose ithemselves in its gurgling stream. That they may hide their silvery gleam. They swirl and curl o ' er its foamy crests. While the silver scales shine on their breasts. The current, it dips, over and under. While all water plants are torn asunder. BETTY JEWETT (Clan Campbell). The Skirmish Fiercely raged the battle That tragic mournful day. The broken swords did rattle And many -wounded lay. The pistol shots were many ' s knell When gallant captains the charges led. Then loudly rang a clanging bell The little boys went home to bed. PATRICIA GIBBONS (Clan MacEean). Morning Joy Yonder on the distant hill I hear the grinding of the mill. The sky above is azure blue. And clouds roll by in purple hue. Then in the mom I rise and hear The birds, that sing so sweet and clear. Oh ! what a joy this world can give To those who find out how to live. ELIZABETH EEWIN ( Clan MacAlpine) . 22 The Branksome Slogan The Rescue of the Woods He wandered o ' er the southern hills, ' Cross daisy fields and sparkling rills, Where vines and creepers twined like lace. Yet never saw their magic grace. For as he hurried more and more His soul was burnt, his heart was sore : Within his breast there smouldered still, A bitterness, a mental ill. ' ' What have I done that I should be The butt of human cruelty ? He cried. Has one of other name Transferred the stinging, sneering blame Upon an innocent, who feared To do that which is wrong; revered The laws of goodness, righteousness — Who had no shame he could confess ? The bitterness, reproach, and hate They flung at him! He could not wait To hear their hard words — no man could : He fled, an outcast, to the wood. Where should he go? He did not know, Death seemed rather a friend than foe : No one to cheer him, understand, Hatred and curses filled the land. So, wandering, his sightless eyes, Staring upon the far sunrise, He came within a little bower Where every bud had burst to flower. Where dainty ferns and mosses sprang. Where crickets shrilled, and sweet birds sang; And as he sank upon a log They lifted slowly, mist and fog. He saw the peace and beauty round, The tiny violets on the ground. At last he ' d found the quiet he sought, He sat that day wrapped up in thought. And when the sun went down to rest. When birdlings hurried home to nest — He backward trudged towards the town. Resolved to try and live it down. Three short weeks later, he returned, A different man, whose brown eyes burned With love of hfe. He came to bless And thank the wooids for his success. KATHARINE CANNON (Clan Ross). The Branksome Si ogan 23 To a River Oh, mighty river rolling along With ever a ripple and ever a song, Where is thy ending and how do you start ? But that is a secret you ' ll never im- part. With a rumble and roar you go on as before, Rushing by ebns that stand on the shore ; They v rither and die and the decades go by, But thou, miighty river, will always pass by. MILIvIOENT RAYMOND (Clan Campbell). Spring Fever Spring is here ! I saw a tulip Just arisen from its bed, While the boisterous early zephyrs Toss ' d around its yellow head. In my window, lilting, dancing, Came a clear discordant din, Jumbled notes in sweet abandon Chasing one another in! I looked upon my desk with loathing, Wishing to throw off my fetters. Then in a moment otf mad frolic, I scattered far and wide my letters. GWYNNETH SINCLAIR (iClan MacGregor). Tro It ' s not hard to be happy and bright When everything is going right. But when your bright skies turn to gray, It ' s not so easy to be gay. But I ' m sure you ' ll find if you wish to be gay. That by thinking of others some time in your day, Their trials and their sorrows, their grief and despair, And by doing your bit tO ' ease their care Your own will seem small, and easy to bear. JEAN MACDONALD (Clan Stewart). New Zealand New Zealand has been ' called Tihe Brighter Britain of the South, yet, froim the itime of Captain Cook ' s first viisit in 1769, until 1840, there was la strong opposition to founding a British Colony in that country. New Zealand is twelve days distant from Honolulu, or nineteen days on a ' fast ocean liner from Vancouver. The two small islands comprising New Zealand are thought by scientists to be remnants of a large continent which ages ago slipped into the isea. One disembarks at Auckland, the chief iport and finest industrial city. The combined population of New Zealand is but one and a half million people, one hundred and seventy thousand of whom are foreign. They adhere ' Strongly to British traditions, customs and manner of living. The naitive inhabitants of New Zealand are ' Callled Maoris. They can trace back their ancestry -for generations ito the. time of their migration -about 1350, in a Great Fleet of Canoes, probably from Tonga. These canoes were made from tree-trunks. The journey of two thousand miles was made without instruments of any kind, their guide being their pro- found knowledge of the stars, ocean currents and winds. Near the town of Rotorua, wihich is the centre of Guperland, is a large settlement of Maoris. Walks or drives throug h these weird valleys reveal strange wonders of nature : icauldrons of boiling water and mud, blow- iholes, and geysers which erupt periodically; mountains scarred and torn, some of which emit clouds of steam, and extinct -craters looking cold and inert. The South Island has a range of mountains on the West coast equal in splendour to the Alps or our Rockies. The North Island has several 24 The Branksome Slogan 25 remarkable mountains, one of whk ' h is Mounit Eg ' mont, a single cone perpetually snow-clad, the second mosit perfect cone after Fujiam ' a in Japan. Quite by accident, three wonderful cones were discovered a few years ago. Burlesques of innumerable shapes and forms are made by ithe stalactites growing down ifrom ' the ceiling to meet itdie stalagmites growing up from the ground. In one of these caves is a glow-worm igrotto which is very wonderful. One descends into a ,boat on a subiterranean river in perfect darkness and silence. The boat moves noiselessly along, and sud- denly the curved roof is filled with golden points, the shimmer being re- flected on the still water. At first the mind cannot grasp this, and one feels that one must be in another world. These glow worms are very sensitive and if any noise is made, their light will go out. When the shores of New Zealand recede from view, one feels that it has been truly named, The Brighter Britain of the South. MARGARET GRIFFIS (Clan Campbell). A Formosan Bus Ride The Taihoku-Tamsui bus was late. Piled solidly with a miscellaneous assortment of Formosans and bundles, the bus was just about to start wihen a fat lady with a baby tied to her back, refused ito pay for her fare, and stood defiantly at bay on the running board. Why should you get the money when this animal does all the woirk? sihe stormed. I ' ve as much right to ride in this animal as you have ! The ticket- collector only yawned and the woman, sitill puzzled, finally paid, clambered in, and treated the animal to a violent jolt as the bus shot (forward. Immediately, in the customary Formosan fas ' hion, everybody began talking at once. The woman who had delayed the bus discussed a coming feast with an old peanut vendor at the back of (the bus. The road was bad, and at every jo ' lt the old man would exclaim, with a toothless chuckle, This is getting my money ' s worth ! He was smoking a ifour-.foot pipe w hich he seemed in danger of swallowing. In another quarter, squeezed in between a bundle of live crabs, two dead fish and a basket of oharcoal, some farmers discussed the rice crop, occasionally throwing in a word of advice to a group who were heatedly 26 The Branksome Si OGan discussing the p - ' sin teng festival. Suddenly a strident voice rose above the babbie : There you are! She tried to run away again last night. It must be evil spirits — w e always gave her enough to eat. For a momenit ' the oither topics of conversation were forgotten and la chorus of varying exclama- tions arose, some of sympathy, isome not unmixed with apprehension for the victim. Interest was only partially diverted by the peanut vendor, who had almost swallowed his pipe again. Did you call in the witch-doctor? inquired her neighbour, grabbing for the heel of her baby, who had crawled under the seat with a stolen stick of sugar-cane. Yes, there he is, replied the woman, indicating an angular man snoring ponderously nearby. Just at this moment the bus lumbered round a curve and came out upon the bank of the Tamsin River, one of the most beautiful spots in that beautiful island. One look at the solitary mountain looming up high into the sky across the iriver, another out over the blue Pacific with its skirting froth of breakers, another over the sweeping coastline and distant purple hills sihould satis ' fy most of its distinct claim to scenic beauty. Man had done little to mar it. Only a lighthouse winked down the coast ; a few Chinese junks nodded their brown sails and the humble lights of Tamsin began to glimmer uncertainly. Near at hand the bus jolted past ifamiliar sights and sounds of eventide in Formosa — a flock of ducks waddling homewards ; the sleepy chirp of a cicada ; a child on a doorstep with his bowl of rice. Conversation in the bus reached a climax as the motor bunted through the narrow streets of the town, sending a swarm of chickens, dogs, and children scrambling hastily to safety. Finally the human and inanim ate freight was unloiaded, and the cheery din died away. Only the peanut- vendo-r remained behind, pipe in mouth. He paused to pat the dusty seat. I really did get my money ' s worth! he murmured as he climbed slowly out. ANNA MACKAY (Clan Douglas). Th Branksome Slogan 27 The Pitch Lake of Trinidad One of the wonders of Trinidad is the Pitch Lake. It is the only one of its kind in the world, with -the exception of one just across from it in Venezuela. Although the Trinidad Hake is only about one square mile in area, there ihas already been enough pitch extracted ' to pave a road twenty feet wide around the world. This is due to the fact that whenever some is taken out, the space is immediately refilled. The lake appears ito ' be a huge ink blot. It is quite soft in some places and there are small pools of water through which the pitch bubbles. Negro workmen extract the pitch with ihuge shovels and load the great lumps on trolleys that carry ithem to the refinery, where the pitch goes through several processes and is finally poured into barrels which glide down on wires to the isea. It is especially fortunate that this lake is near the sea so that the pitch can be easily exported to every part of the world. The next time your heel isinks into the pitch used in preparing side- walks, think O ' f Trinidad ! SALLY MORTON (Clan Oamjpbell). Welcome to Honolulu As the ship rounds Diamond Head, the grim guardian of Honolulu, one sees a faint gilimmer in the distance, which gradually takes the form of a city whose tropical beauty is amiazing. Honolulu is set cozily between the mountains and the sea and extends along the Southern coast of Oalu for at least two miles. It seems almost alive as it basks in the golden imorning sun, while smiall fleecy clouds skim across the intensely blue sky land s ' hady cocoanut palms fringe the curving shore. From the iship can be seen a long, wide stretch of white sand, dotted with innumerable coloured umbrellas. This proves to be the famous Waikiki Beach. Through the foaming surf can be distinguished the surf riders, making la thrilling, if hazardous journey, towards the shore on their slender boards. Beyond the beach one sees the famous Royal Hawaiian Hotel, with its beautiful grounds and sunny terraces. The Moana Hotel, not so gor- geous as her sister, but just as beautiful, peeps forth from a row of Royal palms. Below us, is a school of flying fish, leaping gracefully into the sunlight. Soon these are replaced by diving boys w ho have paddled out on their surf boards to meet the incoming ship. They dive for coins and never seem to miss one. 28 The Branksome Slogan As the ship (pulls iri ' to the enormous concrete pier, an Hawaiian band greets us with the beautiful strains of the Song of the Island and brown Hawaiian women run up the gangway, throwing flower leis ' around our neck. In this way begins the first of many :happy Honolulu days. ELEANOR BONE (Oan MacGregor). A Picturesque Road One of the met picturesque roads in Nova Scotia follows the Lahave River from Bridgewater, its source, to Crescent Beach, its mouth, a distance of a:bouit eighteen miles. Bridgewater is a little town situated on a high cliff overlooking the river. Small boats and large boats, speedboats and tugboats dock daily at the wharves. Passing the shipyard we left Bridgewater for the country road close to the river-side. As we motored along we noticed, on the opposite side of the river, several summer cottages, one of which attracted our special attention, lit was a dull, red colour with gray trimmings. A large verandah encircled the whole house. On this were seated groups of people in hammocks and com- fortable camp-chairs. In front of the cottage a long ,pier stretched out into the water with a diving-board at the end. On one side of the pier, a few yards distant, was a raft. Several young people were swimmiing and diving there- abouts and from watching them we could tell that many gay, amusing after- noons had been spent in the same way. Following the road still f arther dov m the river, we passed similar cottages and went through small fishing villages. On large tables between the shore- line and ithe roadside were spread fresh codfish. These had been broug ht in from fishing trips and had been laid here to dry and to be salted. In a few weeks they would probably be shipped to different parts of the world. After passing many large and small fishing schooners, lying at anchor The Branksom Slogan 29 some distance from the shore, we reached the mouth of the river. As we looked out towards ' the sea, we saw a lig ' hithouse, and farther out a group of islands, on one oif which was situated a lobster cannery. A little farther along this road we came to a sparkling sand beach about a mile and a quarter in length shaped in the form of a crescent. It is practically all flat, which enables cars to drive on it when the tide is low ; at other times hiigh, powerful waves roll in and break over the dazzling sand. The beach is not only utilized for pleasure but it is used as a highway for transportation from the mainland to the Lahave Islands. The usual road to these islands lies on the clay side of the beach ; the water on the far side is extremely salty. I hope that all who visit Nova Scotia will not fail to take this drive from Bridgewater to Crescent Beach, for it is well worth a visit on account of its quaint and picturesque scenery. BETTY DAVISON (Clan Ross). HUNTSVILLE XZPtitetf. The Huntsville Week-End This year, instead of going to Muskoka Beach for our winter sports, we went tO ' Huntsville. The journey was uneventful but our arrival was spec- tacular for, the train being a week-end special, we were met by a brass band and the greater part of the Huntsville population. We finally managed to single ourselves out amidst the confusion and started for the Traveller ' s Rest Inn which was to shelter us. After enjoying coffee and doughnuts at the Inn we set off in our ski cloithes f or the Town Hall, where a dance was being held for the benefit of week-end visitors. We did not stay very long as we wished to retire early in order to be ready for the excitement of the morning. Everyone was up in good time, eagerly enquiring about trails and hills. Several groups were formed and set off exploring as soon as breakfast was over. Our group fell in with ,two little boys, Chuck and Canton, aged ten and eig ht, who piloted us across die lake to some ideal slopes where they had made a jump. We suffered many falls but no serious injuries, and got back to the Inn just in time for lunch, v hich was enlivened by tales of the morning ' s experiences. In the afternoon some of the party went to a movie, while others visited Memorial Park, where jumping contests were being held. Those who had gone to ithe movies visited this later while we explored other districts. In the evening we went for a sleigh-ride and then to the new rink to attend the Skating Carnival, where some Toronto visitors gave exhibitions of fiigure skating. The performance of two young girls from the Parisian ballet was 30 The Branksome Slogan 31 thus described by an old townsman : — ' ' Wings are all they needed to carry them straight to heaven. Exhibitions of speed skating and barrel jumping followed and the Carnival dosed with a moccasin dance in which everyone took part. Sunday morning we followed the Chub Lake Trail for awhile but finally left it to blaze new paths through the woods. This proved too exhausting and we went back to the trail. In the afternoon we visited Steven ' s Field and after dinner packed and set out for the station. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by all fortunate enough to go and we were all grateful to Miss Read for not only arranging it but also for accom- panying us and taking such an active part in our skiing attempts.

[YM DISPLAY The Gym Display Our annual physical training demon- stration was held again this year in the Varsity Arena, on Friday evening, May 5th. Although the display did not begin until 8.15 o ' clock, as early as 7.45 people began to arrive, and iby the time the pipers made their triumphant entrance there was an audience of over two thousand. As usual the opening event was the Form March, led by the Prefects and Seniors, the singing of ' ' O Canada, and the placing oif the flags. Then followed a splendidly arranged pro- gramme, including Danish, Irish and Eng lish folk dances, relay races, sing- ing games and gymnastics. The special class in Danish gym- nastics, smartly dressed in green tunics and w hite blouses, gave an ex- cellent performance of gymnastics adapted from those of Niels Bukh, Gymnastic Folk High S chool, OUerup, Denmark, which was brought to a climax by some extraordinarily good jumping. Peter Pan and Wendy, by the Junior School, consisting of a group of little dances entitled The Fairies, the Pirates, the Sandman, and the Cat, proved to be one of the most popular numbers. The Gathering of the Clans made an impressive finale to another suc- cessful gym display. Although all the girls worked hard to achieve this success, none worked harder than the directors. Miss Smellie and Miss Withers, to whom the chief credit is due. GWYNNETH SINCLAIR (Clan MacGregor). 32 First Row — Jean Ross, Mary Becker, Charlotte Deacon, Pauline Lea. Second Row — Edith Kirk, BUzaheth Trees, Janet Garfield, Daphne Mitchell. Third Row — Rommne Howden, Betty Davison, Jean Gordon, Jielen Turner. Bottom Row- — Trudean Spencer, Helen Flaunt. Swimming September was very hot this year, so the Fall Term was marked iby a pronounced interest in swimming. The usual classes for beginners, as well as for those wishing to improve their skill were organized by Miss Withers. Since our last report the following Life Saving awards have been won : — Award of Merit — Helen Turner; Bronze Medallion — ' Charlotte Abbott, Elizabeth Brydon, Helen Conway, Christine Mowbray, Louise Spencer; Proficiency and Elementary Certifi- cates — Janet Garfield, Irla Mueller, Eleanor Rising and Baiibara Water- bury. East April the MacGregor clan came first in the Inter-clan Swimming Meet and the MacAlpine second, while the Ross and Macleod clans won at the Fall Meet. The Senior Swim- ming Cup, (the gift of Mary Barker, was won last Spring by Muriel Sin- clair and the Eenore Gooderham Cherry Junior Cup by Christine Mow- bray. HELEN TURNER (Clan MacLean). Badminton A ladder tournament was used this year to increase the interest of the girls in badminton. The names were posted for six weeks and then the eight girls who came first in the singles, and the eight couples who were first in the doubles entered the final contests. Jean McWilliams won the singles and Mary Becker and Jean McWilliams the doubles. Then we tried our skill against Upper and Lower Havergal. With the exception of one set of singles won by Mary Becker, we lost to the Jarvis Street School but made a better showing against Laurence Park Havergal by winning two sets of singles and one set of doubles. Two toumamemts with Old Girls were also arranged and badminton flourished until the Spring weather enticed us to the tennis courts. HELEN CONWAY (Clan MacGregor).

Phyllis Hollinrake, President of the Alumnae Association, played a harp solo which blended beautifully with ithe Ghiristmas spirit of the service. Several carols were sung by the Juniors, ' the most striking ibeing a negro spiritual. The ending was different ifrom tihat of other years, for a tableau was arranged in .the chancel of the church with Mary, Joseph, the Wise Men and the Shepherds surrounding a cradle. Bible selection were read by two of the girls and the recessional, ' Oh Come, All Ye Faith- ful followed, the figures remaining in position until the end — an ending which increased the dignity and reverence of the whole. JOAN ROMEYN (Oan Ross). The School Dance The school dance was held on Fri- day evening, February 10th. Miss Read and the Head Girl, Gwynneth Sinclair, received the guests, who num- bered about three hundred. Revolving lights on the balcony and many cdloured ones around the ' gym- nasium formed striking decorations. This year there was dancing in the Common Room as well as in the gym- nasium, while the class rooms were used for sitting out . Supper was served between (the eight and ninth dances. During the evening crackers and balloons were introduced, causing much merriment. The orchestra pro- vided an excellent programme and everyone was sorry when the strains of God Save the King brought to a close another very enjoyable B rank- some dance.

Great was the excitement on Satur- day morning, November 19th, as we awaited the arrival of our guest. She was met at the entrance by Miss Read, Miss Robinson, Phyllis Hollinrake, the President of the Alumnae Asso- ciation, and our Head Girl, Gwynneth Sinclair. The Prefects, carrying the school flags, formed a guard of honour. Her Excellency was conducted to the gymnasitim, where the girls had all assembled, and the National Anthem was sung. Then Gwynneth Sinclair welcomed her on behalf of the school. Janet Garfield of Cleve- . land, Ohio, and Anna Mackay of For- mosa, also made speeches. Trudean Spencer, speaking in French, pre- sented Lady Bessborough with a bouquet of roses tied with the school tartan. Following this, four newly- appointed prefects, Helen Conway, Nora Conklin, Anna Mackay and Trudean Spencer were presented with their ties by Her Excellency, who ad- dressed the school in such a way as to charm us all and asked that the girls be accorded a holiday. A French- Canadian carol was sung, a play, Christopher Colum ' bus, presented by the Juniors, and then the Vice-Reg al party was taken to the swimming pool, where an exhibition of swimming was held, followed by D aQ i sh gymna stics in the gymnasium. With the singmg of our school song, Up and On, a memorable event in the school year was happily concluded. NORA CONKLIN (Clan MacGregor). Betta As usual many entertainments were held this year tmder the auspices of the Beta Kappa Society. The opening meeting on September 16th took ithe form of a Treasure Hunt, followed iby games. On October 3rd, a solemn initiation ceremiony was carried out by the Council of Seven, when the new girls received itheir ties. The Masquerade, held Octo ber 28th, was most enjoyable. Miss Read and Kappa the members of the Staff put on a skit which was a takenDff on the Gym Demonstration. The various forms produced plays at different times. Form V presented The Adventure of Lady Ursula . Form IV, All of a Sudden Peggy . IV Special and V Special, King Henry VIII and Katherine and scenes from Pride and Prejudice .

On Friday evening, March 24th, Monsieur and Madame de Kresz gave a most delightful recital. Madame de Kresz told us something of the life and work of various composers and illustrated her remarks by selections from their compositions. She accom- panied Monsieur de Kresz, who charmed us by his masterful playing of the violin. A Toy Symphony, trained by Madame de Kresz, was a feature of t)his enjoyable entertain- ment. In sponsoring such entertainments the Beta Kappa plays an important part in the life of the school. ELEANOR McDOUGALL (Clan Douglas). Opheleo The activities of lihe Opheleo So- ciety are always varied and this year was no exception. In the Autumn two hundred and twenty-five dollars was collected and sent to the Ramdbai mission in India. The money was raised in various ways : large donations were received from members of the Alumnae Asso- ciation, and friends of the school, a Friday night entertainment was given by the Clans, who charged ten cents admission, ithe girls in residence saved money by eating plainer food for a week and a hot dog sale was held. At Christmas the society hoped to furnish food and clothing for five poor families, but when the boxes were filled it was found that there was enough to provide for seven more. Each box contained a turkey, canned goods, syrup, jelly, cereals, sugar, nuts, candy, etc. It was discovered that a child in one of these families required special food, so the Fourth Form volunteered to look after the matter. The Lenten collection amounted to ninety dollars and was used for the support of la teacher in one of the Indian missions and for the Brank- some Hall bed in the Ludhiana Hos- pital. Many of the girls knit bright coloured scarves which, with beads and dress material, were sent to India. These are only some of the out- standing things accomplished by this society which has tried to live up to its name Opheleo — I ser ve.

Just the day before Easter two little bunnies came to her house. Their names v ere Rip and Squeak. Chris- tine was delighted. She brought ' them to school one day. Pip was grey and Squeak was white. One day Pip was lost. Squeak was very sad and so was Christine. She looked everywhere for Pip and at last she found her. Poor little Pip was lying in some- body ' s garbage can. She was so frightened, she was shivering all over. Christine lifted poor little Pip out and took her home, and after that I am quite sure she took better care of them both. JOCELYN HODGE, Jr. II.

There was an old ruined house on the edge of ' the ravine which had a stone wall around it and a little sum- mer house in the garden. We decided to visit this house. It was very muddy and as we clinibed up we noticed footmarks. From one part of the ' house we heard ghostly sounds, so we peeped in the window. To our hoirror we saw four tramps sleeping soundly on the ground, groaning and snoring. So this house was not for adventurers after all, but for tramps ! We left a note for them saying : ' Be- ware, a policeman was here! A week later we made another visit to the Tramps ' Castle, as we now called it. We had written on a piece of paper: ' ' If you do not go away, ten policemen will come here tonight. We threw it in the door. Unknown to us a tramp was inside. He read the note and came out. So these are the young policemen ! he said. Yes, we answered, shyly. Well, miss, the police allowed us to sleep here and this proves it, and he showed us a paper signed by the constable. That was our first and last adven- ture and I, for one, do not want any more. MARIA DE KRESZ, Sr. IV. I ' m a vagabond, dragging my load Along a winding woodland road, And on either side of me Just as far as the eye can see A wonderful carpet of leaves, I behold A colourful mass O ' f red and gold. And as my weary footsteps drag, The falling leaves are playing tag, And each one seems (to be saying toi me, Come, don ' t be tired, play tag with me. On I walk, filled wiith joy, ahead, For when I ' m tired, I ' ve leaves for a bed. BARBARA PARKER, Jr. IV. Roses Roses are pink, Roses are white, Roses are yellow, Theiir colours are very bright.

Soaring above ' the soft blue lakes The oriole sings and sings. Out of their beds the campers spring. And dress in haste to start the day, After breakfast our duties begin. And everyone is happy and gay. KATHRYN COODERHAM, Jr. IV. The Magic Iron Once upon a time there was in a shop a nice shiny iron; it was indeed a nice iron. Everybody that saw it admired it. At last an old lady came in and bought it. But just as she was taking it home it dropped, but did not break. Yet there was one thing very funny, when it dropped it lost its shine. So the old lady took it back, but when she put it on the counter, it danced away. It went as far as the old lady ' s house and then it went in. Now, it happened that the lady ' s Sunday dress had to be ironed. It was already on the ironing iboard. So the iron jumped on the ironing board and began to iron the dress. When it was finished it jumped down and ran out of the house. Meanwhile the shop was in great confusion. Then the iron jumped on the counter and eve rything went right again. The old lady went home and when she saw the dress lalready ironed, she was much surprised. Then she guessed what had happened, so she went back to the shop and ' bought the iron again, and she and the iron lived happily ever after. MARGARET HOGARTH, Jr. III. My Pussy I have a little pussy cat. And he is smooth and round and fat. He often used to run away, I told him that he should obey. And he is, oh, so full of play.

Fairy Fay is a ibeautiful land, Where tiny fairies dance on the sand. Their houses are made of cockle sihell, And each little house has a -tiny wee bell. They dont ' eat nasty things like rice, They eat cookies and candies and everything nice. They don ' t go to the dentist there. Their teeth are real pearls so fair. They don ' t have a bath every day, They joisit dance and sing in the spray. They are as happy as can be, And can ask anyone in to tea. CHRISTINE PEARSE, Sr. III. Skipper Ivost! Lost! The words seemed to ring in Jimmy ' s ears. Impos- sible, he argued with himself. Yet, he said, half aloud, the garbage man had said so. Jiimmy was a little street urchin, having no parents that he knew of, so people called him plain Jimmy . Two years before he had found a lost Scottie with no collar and had kept him. The two slept together on the streets and ate what people gave them. Two weeks later Jimmy was walk- ing past Saint Paul ' s Cathedral think- ing about Skipiper , as he called tihe dog. How he missed the little fellow ! The morning was bright, and although it was only six o ' clock, many people were out on the streets. Jimmy ' s eyes were moving restlessly around, when he saw a rough-looking man walking along holding a dog under his coat. Skipper, Jimmy gasped, when he saw the dog, who gave a joyful yelp as he recognized his master. Ah ha, said Jimmy to himself, I thought that my dog ran away, but I guess he was stolen. He thought quickly. Certainly something would have to be done if he was to regain Skipper . The man had evidently not seen him, so if he crept up behind and kicked him he might drop the dog. He tried this. The blow was so un- expected that the startled man dropped Skipper and went sprawling on the sidewalk. Two policemen came rus h- ing to the rescue and Jimmy told them his story. They were very sorry for him and gave him ten pounds, for the man had been wanted by the police for five years. JOYCE CAUDWELL, Sr. IV.

I don ' t like Subtraction I don ' t like French, And I often think I ' m on a hard board bench. I ' m going to make a playhouse As soon as I come from school. I ' m going home this minute If I do break the rule. But I do like Gym. And I do like sewing. I do like Literature And I do like drawing. ELEANOR REED, Jr. IV. The Tide I love to watch the tide go out When evening ' s close at hand. The sea fades gently farther out And leaves the yellow sand. No sound disturbs that perfect peace, No human being near. The lapping waves will gently cease And leave me standing here. BARBARA PARKER, Jr. IV. 48 The Branksome Slogan The Sea I love to sit on a rocky ledge Jiutting out over the sea, And hear the ibreakers ibooming Far down on the rocks below. And as I look over the gloomy sea I isee a lonely seagull flying home. Tihe dull gray of his wiings matching the colour of the sky. Slowly he fades away into the dis- tance, leaving me once more alone. As I sit on that lonely ledge Sad thoughts come to me, Things which I could not express — And yet somehow I feel glad.

Autumn In Autumn when the leaves come down They make a lovely carpet round, Leaving the trees lundressed. Looking quite nice, ibut not their best.

We wandered about, as the evening grew dark, Through the beautiful grounds of a neai ' by park. When the sun had completely retired from view. The sky was transformed to a lovely, dark blue. A slender young moon in the sky that night. Struggled bravely but vainly to keep things light. We rambled around imtil we tired our feet, Then we rested ourselves on a new park seat, Enjoying the air scent-laden with flowers. And the charm of the night ' s most magical hours. There was a pleasant rustle in neai ' by trees As the leaves were caressed by a passing breeze. The noises of numerous insects around Were blended to make a most musical sound. It is often said that a night of this kind Is likely to leave a clear imprint be- hind. That was true in this case — please pardon my sigh — For the paint on the park bench had not been dry.

In Winnipeg a luncheon was held at the Royal Alexandra Hotel, June twentieth. Those present were: — Isabel Ivey Chester, Marjorie Hazelwood, Syibil Kneeland Martin, Marjorie Fraser, Marjorie Preston, Ethel Wadge MacEennan, Dorothy Trueman Rebitt, Margaret Scott, Kathleen Burrows, Geraldine Stephenson Bull, Gladys Brock Martin, Agnes and Marjorie Baird, Nora Bell, Constance Crawford Brown, Alice Reynolds Campbell, Beta Ross McKiibben, Ruth Kingsland Chapman, Elinor Stovel, Ora Forster, Jane Ryan, Eleanor Ryan Armstrong, Isabel Adams, Frances Kilvert Munro, Barbara Munro and Edith Anderson Joyce.

Clare Brown, last year ' s Head Giri, and now Slogan Representative of the Vancouver branch of the Alumnae Association, sends the f ollowing account of the luncheon held in that city : Thanks to the efforts of Irma Brock Fellowes and Anna Greig, who went to a great deal of work to assemble alumnae who had long been out of touch, a igroup of thirty gathered at the Georgia Hotel on July fourth to form a Vancouver branch. That meeting was particularly memorable because Miss Read herself was here to see that we got properly started. It was a great treat for all of us to have her with us, and for the older members of ithe Alumnae 60 The Branksome: SLCxiAN 61 especially, to hear her account of the growth of the school and of the improve- ments and changes that had taken place through long years of progress. But all was not seriousness, Miss Read ' s characteristic humour was irrepressible when it came to anecdotes of the ' good old days ' , and as some of the almost antique photographs were passed around, comments were sometimes compli- mentary and sometimes — well, shall I say amusing? We must not omit our thanks to Anna Greig for an attractive and clever t ble scheme which carried out the Branksome colours in a crepe paper panel running the length of the table and a huge centre of red and white sweet peas. We had a private dining-room but I think our laug ' hter must have echoed to the four winds, so gay we were ! During the luncheon everyone was asked to stand and give their name and date of graduation, and election of officers was made in accordance with priority of time.

It is nearly eight months since we left Pitt House with all its atmosphere of Ibygone times, now somewhat hazy but never to be forgotten. I find it difficult to adjust myself to write a faithful description of that glorious old house when I am, as now, in the heart of London with the distant roar of buses and perpetual rush and noise of 1932, and where there seems to be no place for the shade of William Pitt. I will, however, try to describe the house to you as it appeared to me. It stands in a large garden and on the very edge of Hampstead Heath, and to reach the front drive one must pass a rather modem- looking public house. This building, in spite of its gaudy and rich dress, is one of the most famous public houses in London. It was connected to Pitt House by a secret underground passage into which Dick Turpin would dis- appear when his pursuers became dangerously close; but now, I ' m told, the passage has been closed up. The driveway to the large stucco house is not vei-y long and in a minute one is standing in front of a fine old oak door which, on being opened, allows an air of kind hospitality to escape and with it comes a strange scent of age. Most of the house has been left as it was in the time of William Pitt the Younger, except for the Council Chamber, which has been slightly altered ; but one can still picture to oneself Pitt sitting between the two large pillars with the window behind. Pitt ' s bedroom is rather small, and off it is an even tinier room, which has in it a fireplace, almost doll ' s house size ; there is room in this tiny place for a chair, a desk and a small table. Through the window one gets an entrancing view. Near the fireplace is what appears to be the door of a little cupiboard ; however, on opening it, one finds only another door which swings outwards into the passage beyond. Between the two doors is a space large enough for a tray and this is what it was used for, since it appears that Pitt would refuse for days to see anyone, not even the servant who brought his food. He would loick himself into his tiny room and there at his desk in the window, plan, write and brood. Pitt suffered most horribly from gout, and at one particular time when the King sent for him he was unable to Obey the royal command, being crippled and in bed with a very bad attack of this malady. The matter to be discussed was very urgent so the King was forced to go to Pitt House which, in those days, was considered quite a drive into the country. (It now takes twenty minutes in a car from Marble Arch.) As it was mid-winter the Monarch arrived in a consideraJble state of chill, and, on going up to Pitt ' s bedroom, bemoaned the fact that he had to sit in so icy an atmosphere and talk, shivering the while. Pitt had no better suggestion to offer than that he should get into bed with him, where they could then discuss everything in warmth and comfort, with which suggestion His Majesty at once, without a moment ' s hesitation or even removing his boots, complied. The Branksome Slogan 67 Pitt the Younger was born May 28th, 1759, and died January 23rd, 1806, on the twenty fifth anniversary of the day on which he first took his seat in Parhament. Macaulay says that Pitt was supremely great as a Peace States- man and a hopeless failure as War Minister. However, tha:t he was really a great Prime Minister there is no doubt, checked and thwarted as he was by an ignorant and insane king and by an imperfect Parliamentary representation. After the battle of Trafalgar, at a dinner given in the Guild Hall on Lord Mayor ' s Day, in replying to a toast, he said: — Xet us hope that England, having saved herself by her energy may save Europe by her example. ' These were the last words he ever utterd in public and seem strangely fitting for today. On the walls of Pitt House are relics of Charles the Second, priceless museum pieces and Vandyke portraits. Such gems that one wonders will the Modems give to the future pictures which our descendants will look at with a faster heart beat and a thrill which is almost unexplained but which those glorious old canvases give to most of us today.
