Prayer for Peace Psalm 85 Used by the School as their Psalm for the year ZORD, thou hast been favourable unto Thy land Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. ' Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Thou hast taken away all their wrath: Thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. ' Turn us, O God of our salvation, ' And cause thine anger toward us to cease. ' Wilt thou be angry tvith us for ever? ' Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? ' Wilt thou not quicken us again: ' That thy people may rejoice in thee? ' Show us thy mercy, 0 Lord, ' And grant us thy salvation. ' I will hear what God the Lord voill speak: ' For he will speak peace unto his people, ' And to his saints; ' But let them not turn again to folly ' . Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; That glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth; And righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; And, our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before him; And shall set us in the way of his steps. 6

EDITORIAL Exactly one year agO ' to-day people throughout the world rejoiced over the arrival of V-E Day. The news of victory in Europe was rec- eived with mixed emotions, because we realized both how difficult, and yet how promising, the period of transition from war to peace would be. In Canada, for this time of hope and reconstruction, we are privileg- ed in having as our Governor General, Viscount Alexander, one of the leaders whose strength and foresight led us through the dark days of war to final victory. With great pride we welcomed him to our country with the traditional ceremony in the Senate House, which was attended with much of the pre-war pomp and splendor. During his term of office, may many more pre-war customs and activities be revived, and may many new and beneficial ones replace those which have been outmoded by the war! In Branksome the year 1945-46 has been marked by the resumption of some traditions and by the introduction of innovations. One of partic- ular interest is the sending of a Branksome girl on the Canadian Youth Group of the Canadian Overseas League to England and Scotland. We are renewing our connection with Shei borne School by having a Sherborne girl come from England to Branksome for the first time in peace years. We feel it is significant that applications for enrolment are coming in greater numbers than ever before from girls in countries outside Canada. Our hope is that people everywhere are beginning to realize that there is One World and that future peace and good relations lie only m a spirit of Brotherhood and Sisterhood. A golden opportunity lies ahead of us and, at Branksome, our share of the task is made easy be- cause we are a Cosmopolitan School. Let us uphold our old and new traditions ! THE EDITORS. 5
