The Branksome Slogan 5 Editorial ' ' Hands across the sea, always a phrase with a deep meaning for Branksome HaJl School, has once again been our theme during the year 1949-50. We were first made conscious of this at the traditional cere- mony of the Installation of Prefects, when we were honoured by the presence of Sir Andrew Murray, Lord Provost of Edinburgh. Sir Andrew ' s visit, and his speech on that memorable occasion, did much to strengthen the bond between our school and the land from which it sprang. It is expected that very soon a Scottish girl will join our students from other lands. In the spring of 1950 Miss Read further strengthened ties between the School and the Old Country when she visited Sherborne in England. This large and beautiful school sent a group of forty-seven girls to live at Brank- some Hall during the war. While on her visit. Miss Read saw many of those girls who had sojourned with us, many Enghsh Branksome Old Girls, and many of our Canadian Old Girls who are now living in England, Shortly after the war two Sherborne girls came to Branksome from England as representatives of their school. Now definite plans have been completed for an exchange student to come out from Sherborne every year, and in the autumn a Branksome girl will sail from Canada to take the Third Form Course at Sherborne School. This may seem, a small thing in itself, but as it affects the lives of two schools, so does it affect the lives of two nations. We are playing our small part in national affairs. While in Holland, Miss Read saw many indications of the strong regard the Dutch people have for Canadians. On her return, she urged us to work hard to strengthen this regard in the hearts of Europeans, in any small way that may offer. With relations between nations as insecure as they are today, any help is drastically needed. How often, in these days, we wonder how the world can untangle the web of events that has caught us all in its meshes. What part has ' ' the average man in a world of complicated diplomatic negotiations? And where do we, as High School students, come in? We are privileged, here at Branksome — privileged because we have the security of good homes and good educations, because we have friends and joy and laughter. Every Branksomite shares with her neighbours the responsibility of finding, the answers tO ' many perplexing questions, and of shaping the future of the world. The most important part of our education lies in learning to accept these responsibilities. We must understand in our hearts the T uth that will equip us with the moral weapons to fight the frightening storm of materialism. Then, with God ' s help, our service will be of some use. THE EDITORS.
