4 The Branksome Slogan EDITORIAL We live precariously in turbulent days when once again the im- mediate future seems none too bright. The world is in the throes of many changes — radical, gradual, vast and minute changes — and each change has its individual importance, its relative effect towards ultimate destruction or ultimate security and peace. Nations and ' countries, cities and towns, factories and schools alike are affected by this metamor- phosis, whether it be good or bad. Branksome, too, takes her small place in this changing stream of life. Some changes seem small and insignificant at first, but they soon become a part of the tradition and background of the school. Branksome is justly proud, therefore, of a momentous change in the addition of the new property. Six new acres and a wonderful new residence are indeed a change in Branksome ' s world. They will provide modern class rooms, new art facilities, etc., as well as promise a more extensive sports pro- gramme. The future is very bright for up-and-coming Branksomites. They only have to know the envious thoughts of the graduating students as a proof that Read Hall is a change that is greeted with unhesitating enthusiasm. 1947-48 has been an important stepping-stone on the path of Branksome ' s history. Although this element of change will undoubtedly prevail for years to come, there are basic foundations which, for the benefit of the school, must never change. Branksome ' s school spirit, for example, must retain its present glowing flame. Loyalty to the school, in all our thoug hts, words and deeds, is equally as important, even in later years when we are out in the busy world and perhaps have begun to forget s.ome of the best years of our lives . Then, come what may, although Brank- some will change in many respects, the essence of its being, its very drive and powder will remain unchanged and it will still stand ' ' ever true to God and right .
