The A and B forms , together make an electric combination, and we have proved to the rest of the school that we have plenty of spirit ! Being sports-minded, we were well represented in the school athletic programme. Judy Lovering is our star basketball player. In the form competition, she led the lA team to victory in a very close game with IB. Then the team worked up to the semi-finals, at which point it was defeated by IVA. F rst Form is also proud of its skating champions, Jackie Oldham and June Calvert, and gives top honours Jia W«e« Williams, horsewoman. We have attended modern dancing apparatus swimming classes, which early training ought to make us experts by the time we reach Fifth. At Christmas, First and Second had a ' private party , with a gaily CLASS PRESIDENTS Left to right: Wendy Rogers, Nancy Hinchcliffe.

V. SPECIAL Elizabeth Black — Liz, who came to Branksome from Belleville, is Five Special ' s class presiderrt, and a sub-prefect. She is noted at Sherb for her generosity and fo ' - her love of song. Her plans include further training in Home Economics, and she hopes to make Detroit her place of residence. Being a born planner, we ' re sure she ' ll manage to achieve both goals. Ann Magee — This petite miss came to Branksome from Lawrence Park Collegiate. She has a very determined eye on nursing; we preoict that her quiet efficiency and high marks will insure her a successful career as a dentist ' s assistant. Jane Henderson — Jane is completing her final year at Branksome as the secretary-treasurer of Five Special. She collected Lent money from her class and carried off honours for reaching the goal first. Jane hopes to become a nurse, and we feel that her patients will be in good care. Anne McLaren — Anne, who comes from Van- couver, wants to know where all our winter weather went. Our answer? Why, to Vancouver, of course! Anne loves all sports — but from the spectator ' s bench. And in the future we think you ' ll find her in nurse ' s training at the Van- couver General. Peggy Seagram — I just can ' t is cheerful Peggy ' s favourite expression. Nothing is ever too quiet with Peg around; she adds life and laughter wherever she goes. The Banff School of Fine Arts is Peggy ' s destination this summer, and she plans to enter the Ontario College of Art in the Fall. Joan Streatfield — Joan is V Special ' s Library Representative. Her warm smile and charming dimples have fascinated all her classmates. An interior decorating course in New York is her next project — and we v.ish her every success. Elizabeth Wilkinson — Beth made quite a name for herself as a handicrafts director at Bolton last summer. This year, at Branksome she carries the responsibilities of a sub-prefect, library assistant and clan scorer. Every day, faithful Beth files her fines; with her perseverance, she will be very successful wherever she goes. Janet White — Jan loves both badminton and music, but her real interest lies in the V est, and she hopes to make a trip to Calgary very soon. After that she plans to enroll in an Art College. Lots of luck, Jan, and we hope you ' ll achieve both ambitions. — Goodbye, Branksome! We ' ll always remember you — hope you can carry on without us ! Just now, we ' re wondering what it ' s going to be Hke without you! — ' The Fif th '

20 The Branksome Slogan decorated tree and a Santa Glaus. lA presented a play called The Fatal Guest , which was received with hilarious shouts of laug-hter, and added a lot of fun toi an evening of Ghristmas cheer. On February 24 th, I A and IB produced two plays: So Early in the Morning and ' ' Lemon Pie for Andy . Molly Hewitt and Ruth Ann Mellish are budding actresses in the form, and they had great fun untangling the plots of the two plays. Pat Fulford is our artist, (she did a lot of work for the Senior dances), but she found enough time to direct both the form plays. As to our musical representatives, we boast an accomplished Grade X pianist, Marie Peaker, and a popular pianist, Joy Cassels, w ho made her debut in the February play. Joanne Graham and Ann Farmer have meant a lot to the form in their offices as presidents ; we should hke to to take this opportunity tO ' thank them both. We are told that our year at Readacres has been a trial year for First and Second Forms — an experiment. We think that you ' ll agree with us that it has been a successful one. SECOND FORM REPORT Second form has completed a year filled with fun, sports . . . and work ! Basketball was very popular and second form was represented on the fourth school team by Jean Wahlroth (Captain), Susie Marshall, Babs Thomson, Wendy Rogers, Janet Howard, June Binnie and Daphne Turpel. Marilyn Foord was captain of the IIA form team and Sandra Shaw sparked the HB team. Vonnie Davis was chosen to play in the school badminton doubles. Tennis, track, swimming, volleyball and softball were also popular. Daphne Turpel was president o HA, vice-president was Jean Wahl- roth, and Roberta Long as secretary-treasurer was a genius at collecting money from the class without any tempers being lost. Class officers in JIB were Wendy Rogers, president; Elizabeth Ash- worth, vice-president; and Sandra Shaw, secretary-treasurer. Marilyn McClasky and Isobel Longfield were the library representa- tives! and due to their heroic efforts, all the library fines in second form were paid in good; time. Edith Thomson and Barbara Williams entered the school verse-speak- ing contest. Barbara was also our form pianist. During the year IIA presented a play ' ' Starstruck directed by Judith Johnston. IIB ' s play Party Line was directed by Kay Almas. In looking back, the girls of second form feel that their two form teachers, Mrs. Anderson and Miss Bradshaw, deserve bouquets for their untiring efforts to make the year a happy one.
