THE ALBUM OF GRADUATES PREFECTS Patricia Marriner — Our popular, competent Head Girl, tall, blonde Pat came to Branksome after a sojourn in Halifax. Her quiet efficiency and easy-going manner often amaze us. Pat is an intense lover of all sports, and a stalwart guard on the first Basketball Team. This master mind in chemistry looks forward to a career as a laboratory technician. Mary Binnie — Stand up, girls! That must be Mary, VA ' s faithful door monitor, who is a prefect and president of the Opheleo. She is a guard on the irst Basketball Team, and enthusiastically throws herself into all sports. Mary loves walking, walking and walking. Next year she ' s going to walk right into the Physical Education Course at Varsity. Mary Caven — This willowy blonde has the only red kilt on the top floor of Sherb. Mary lives conveniently close to the school, and looks forward to weekends and seeing her affectionate kitten. She is on the Opheleo Committee, and is the Art Director of the Slogan. Judging by her work at Branksome, wc think you ' ll agree that ;he ' s well equipped to make a career in Art. Mary Ruth Crossin — Better recognized as Ginger , our Vice-President of the Beta Kappa has many outside interests. Pet Aversion — Her new red blazer. Note achievement — in board- ing for half a year as a weekly boarder. Future? Joyce Dibblee — As a prefect and Editor of the Slogan, this little bundle of business is always on the tear. In her spare time this year, Jo man- aged to give a piano recital and to get first class honours in her A.R.T.C. She is now aiming for her usual 80 per cent. Her interesting tales of Europe, which she visited last summer, have brightened many a dull moment. Lois Dunn — Lois comes from the gold country- yo ' j know, Kirkland Lake! She is V Commercial ' s representative in the red kilt class , and is also the Secretary-Treasurer in her form. Lois is an arr.bitious student, but she donates one afternoon a week of her time to Red Cross Work. It ' s worth while, she says with a smile — and we agree with her. Muriel Ferguson — Fergie is on the First Basket- ball Team and one of our best players. She always has a friendly smile for everyone, and can be seen (when not heard) writing letters in a corner. Her ambition is ta get her senior matric, and continue her education in Montreal. Dorothy Orr— Our busy little prefect with the l-o-n-g- blonde braids, is usually seen flourishing a money bank and an advertising list. The secretary-treasurer of the Beta Kappa, and Advertising Editor of the Slogan spends her leisure hours accompanying the cub choir — and loves it! Next year it ' s languages at Trinity. Dot never ceases to tease us with her Dooeys and Don ' t tell me your troubles . Frances Snetsinger — Snet , the lass from Cornwall, carried the responsibilities of a prefect and a Campbelj Clan chieftain. She was secretary-treasurer of the Opheleo, captain of the first basketball team and vice president of her class. We shall always remember Frances for her helpfulness in the swimming pool. In her six years at Branksome she has given a lot to the school. Good luck, Snet!
