Was established years ago, And with its new existence great, There started clans which number eight. The MacGregor, the Stewart, the McLeod, the MacLean, The Rosses, the Douglas and Campbells by name, Have done very well and their leaders are fine But can hardly compare with our own MacAlpine. Its spirits are high, and its hopes never dead, For who would not strive with our Becky as head. We all do our best, and when we can ' t win We ' ll do better next time! we all say with a grin. These eight mighty clans every year do compete. And eagerly try their rivals to beat, Their games and their studies are daily recorded. And the winner is with the banner rewarded. ROSEMARY McWILLIAMS, Form V S. Believe It Or Not Stories And then he said . . . And I just told Miss . . . what I thought of her. My mother doesn ' t care whether I fail or not. I took the wrong book home by mistake. Why, no, I didn ' t even notice the apple-pie bed. QUESTIONS WE CAN DO WITHOUT (Asked by the girls) : — Do you think that I look any fatter? Oh, is that new? (Asked by the staff) :— Did you do your homework? Were you out of your room during devotion? Did you forget to report? Will you speak to me in the office at the end of study?

28 The Branksome Slogan 39. Tree. 40. Commander of British Navy in War of 1812. 41. Slang for someone who ' s clever. MARY GRAHAM, Form IV. POSSESSION What is mine is mine forever, Neither time nor thought will sever What is mine is mine forever. None shall see with eyes the same, Leaves, or mist, or sudden ram. For their eyes are quite mundane ; And they could not quite recapture That first sweet and sudden rapture Of the waves that toss hereafter On the sands. What is mine is mine forever Neither time nor thought can sever What is mine, and mine forever. PEGGY GILMOUR, Form V S. NORTH CAPE Those ancient cliffs of Norway, How tenderly they stand, They seem to kiss the ocean. And yet embrace the land, And high the gulls are screaming. And low the sea waves foam. And over all is dreaming. The same clear sky at home. PEGGY GILMOUR, Form V S. Miss R.— What write ? Pupil— Virgil. did Homer Miss R. — - There is a fine example of the work of Rubens in the school. Pupil — Did Rubens come to Branksome ? SOUNDS AROUND B. H. The good old school bell ringing at 8.55. A volley of screams around drink- ing fountain after gym. Yells of day girls asking for boarders ' buns at recess. M. M. ' s latest jazz tune in gym. Some miserable person practising the piano over the gym. D. W. singing, God Save the King. Piercing shrieks from the swim- ming pool. The dainty clatter of boarders tramping down the stairs near the office. Sighs and groans from those look ing at the hour list. Miss McM. trying to hush some yelling Juniors standing around the office. Mr. Bailey fixing a radiator. Ripples of merry laughter from boarders going to bed ! Muffled whispers after lights are out. B. W. singing in the bath tub. BARBARA THOMAS, Form III. A.
