8 The Branksome Slogan A Message From the Head Girl Never before at Branksome has there been such a list of interesting events during the school year. All the traditional ceremonies which we look forward to annually have taken place ; old customs have been renewed and new ones instituted. At the Installation of Prefects our ideals of Honesty, Purity, Justice and Truth were reaffirmed. At the Gathering of the Clans new girls and old girls were bound together by the school spirit and the good sportsman- ship which have prevailed throughout the year. Old customs have been renewed with the exchange of pupils between Branksome Hall and the Sherborne School in England. Another friendly exchange of friendship occurred with the visit of girls from the Laurel School in Cleveland, Ohio. In keeping with our Scottish traditions, Highland dances and reels have become very popular at Branksome this year. The year 1950-51 has given us yet another new custom, which we who are graduating leave with you to carry on into the future . . . We give you the Branksome Honours ! ANN GILDAY, Head Girl. PRAYER WRITTEN FOR BRANKSOME HALL BY THE REVEREND ROBERT BARR Our age with dauntless heart must meet New challenges in home and street With proud traditions, keep our name, A spirit-kindled, living flame. Receive God’s Word, let it within Direct your going out and in. Deut. 31:6 1 Cor. 15.58 Psalm 16:6 Mt. 5:16 Ps. 119:11 Ps. 121:8 Be steadfast on the King’s Highway. Remember, what you do and say A pattern makes of every day. New lustre Branksome Hall will gain, Kept free by you from blot and stain, Soul culture matched with eager brain. Outdo the splendours of past years. Meet disappointment without tears. Engage life as brave mountaineers. Numbers 20:17 Psalm 141:3 1 Pt. 1:15 John 14:12 Phil. 2:15 2 Pt. 1:5-7 Haggai 2:9 Ps. 27:14 Ps. 72:3 Hold high the torch we have been, given, And light earth’s common things with heaven. Look up, and walking in God’s sight, Lift Branksome to still nobler height. Rom. 13:12 Lk. 2:9 Ephes. 5 :8 Prov, 3:5, 6
