10 The Branksome Slogan The Installation of Prefects One of the greatest days in our school history was November 24, 1948, the day of the installation of prefects. Always an impressive ceremony, it was even more memorable this year because of our disting- uished guest, the Viscountess Alexander of Tunis. For weeks we had talked of nothing but the coming ceremony ; and when the day finally arrived, excitement ran high. As the service began, the Fifth Form girls formed a guard of honour, and between their ranks the Clan Chieftains carried their banners up the aisle to the platform, where the colourful tartans made an impressive back gound for the ceremony. Miss Read delivered the installation address, explaining to the new girls the meaning of the school crest and the school flag. Then the pre- fects were called to the platform, one at a time, to receive Miss Read ' s congratulations amid the clapping of ' parents and friends. Then Lady Alexander gave a short address, touching briefly on English and Canadian schools. Her Excellency said that she had met many Brankso-me girls during her travels. She believed that their fine school spirit was due to our splendid school traditions, and stressed the importance of traditions in life. Her Excellency also pointed out that it was gratifying to see so many Canadian girls going on to Universities as the world needs the benefits of the training being given in Canadian churches, homes, schools and colleges — to fear God, to love one ' s country, and to act courageously. As she spoke, everyone sat up a little straighter and realized, perhaps for the first time, the importance of daily school- work. Lady Alexander was presented with a bouquet by Ann Ross, and with a Branksome pennant (for her daughter Rose) by Diana Kent and Elizabeth Wilson. Then Alicia Eager, our Head Oirl, made a short speech. The ceremony over, the newly installed prefects marched from the gymnasium through the Fifth Form guard of honour. As Her Excellency drove away, smiling and waving, from the school grounds, hundreds of girls flocked to wave good-bye to the gracious lady who had honoured with her presence our traditional ceremony.
