THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN The Branksome Slogan 3 at ttje ate You spake unto the man who kept the gate, Give me a light. And back the answer came. Take God ' s good Hand. Go forth with heart elate. Your faith will be an inward, quenchless flame. You gave us that brave word one Christmas day. And fearless through the shadows we did fare. What though the skies were dark, and hard the way, All would be well ; we knew that God was there. Bread cast upon the water comes again ! As you had given to us, God gave to you, When by the gate to which time brings all men, In quiet sleep. He told you what to do. Arise, my child, it is no longer night. Give me your hand, and walk with me in light. Robert Barr. EDITORIAL The Branksome year 1951-52 has been one of success and fulfilment, as have been its forty-nine preceding years. This is perhaps due to the fact that each year brings with it new hope of achievement and new events which produce a strong influence the world over. This year, royalty has played a leading role in the lives of the peoples of the British realm and especially here in Canada. The visit of Her Royal Highness, Princess Elizabeth, now our Queen, and the Duke of Edinburgh, stirred in our hearts a staunch feeling of loyalty to the crown and its symbols of liberty and justice. This loyalty expresses itself in many ways — loyalty to our Empire and country, to our fellow-man, to our school, and to our high ideals. For Canada is a young country which, like a young life, must grow in strength and be moulded with the utmost care ever to achieve its ultimate prosperity. Therefore, loyalty and faith are vital to all young Canadians to whom falls the continuation of this neverending task. To have a prosperous country, we must endeavour to make prosper all institutions, industries and enterprises by maintaining their highest possible standards. Above all we must have faith in our ideals and loyaltiy to them to obtain this goal. 4 The Branksome Slogan The death of His Majesty King George VI brought a great sense of loss to all British peoples. It has been said of this magnificent yet humble monarch that his kingly qualities were enhanced by the fact that he was a good man, and so let us therefore pay tribute to his memory by striving further for the peace and liberty of his beloved kingdom, and by so doing make it worthy to be part of God ' s Kingdom. Thus these two events have renewed the realization of the necessity of our loyalty to all things which so closely adhere to life in these uncertain times. Constant renewal of loyalty to our school is therefoi ' e most essential and has now reached its highest peak ever. The celebration of Branksome ' s Jubilee next year will mark a most memorable period in its progress. Under God ' s guidance we have come thus far and if we are ever mindful of this and uphold our precious traditions, Branksome shall celebrate many jubilees and stand as a stolid example of something which has grown from many years of true loyalty and spirit. THE EDITORS. THE INSTALLATION OF PREFECTS November 7th, 1951, marked the day of the installation of Brank- some ' s head girl, prefects and sub-prefects. This occasion is always one of solemnity, for it lays the foundation of school life for the coming year and sets the course of adult life to follow. At the beginning of each new year the new prefects are appointed by Miss Read, who stresseis the fact that the first qualification of a prefect is integrity ; after which come loyalty, co-operation, perseverance and sports- manship. It is the task of the prefect to spread good will throughout the school and to handle the rigorous schedule of school activities with capability and willingness. The ceremony of installation was very simple and yet very impressive. Our special guests were Doctor Sowby, the Head Master of Upper Canada College, and three stewards, who are equal in rank to our prefects. The procession moved slowly through the Guard of Honour — the eight claii chieftains with their colourful standards, the sub-prefects in their authori- tative red sashes, the staff and guests, and finally the prefects in their regal red kilts. The clan banners provided an impressive background for the platform filled with sub-prefects, staff, and guests. Miss Read made an introductory address, explaining the deep signifi- cance of Truth, Honesty, Justice, and Purity as the four corner stones of ' the school spirit. The appointments of the sub-prefects were then ratified. Then, one by one, the head girl and the seventeen prefects mounted the platform to be oflficially installed, and to be congratulated by Doctor Sowby and Miss Read. The four flags standing for Truth, Justice, Honesty and Purity were presented to the new prefects, and the school flag was presented by the retiring head girl to the new head girl, who pledged that she would uphold the honour for which it stands. The Branksome Slogan 5 CLAN CHIEFTAINS Left to Right— S. Drennan, J. Wahlroth, R. Barr. S. Snyder. W. Large, J. Howard. D. Turpel, N. Lyie. Doctor Sowby made an address to the school, emphasizing the great importance of seeking the most valuable road in life, the road which leads to God. We feel confident that each and every g-irl at Branksome will uphold its precious traditions and will do her utmost to Keep Well the Road. A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD GIRL For the forty-nine years of its existence, Branksome has been growing steadily in many ways: in size, in fame, and in the hearts of its pupils, past and present. From this school have gone hundreds of girls whose lives have been richer and fuller as a result of the lessons of fair play and integrity learned in their daily work and play here. For Branksome has been interested not merely in academic achievement, but also in the things which mould character and lives, and in this lies her greatness. As we of the graduating class go into the world with all these lessons, scholastic and otherwise, behind us, it should not be difficult for us to keop well the road. 6 The Branksome Slogan EDITORIAL STAFF Editors-in-Chicf: Judith Jcphcott, Nancy Lockharl.

Watch For Next Year ' s Slogan THE JUBILEE NUMBER Will anyone having pictures or itenns of interest concerning Branksonne ' s earlier days, please send them to Miss McMichaeL The Branksome Slogan 19 BiiiaiKiiMi 5i I I ■ i I i s ill! FIRST FORM REPORT When school opened last September we knew we were to have a wonderful and busy year, particularly when we found that our form teachers were to be Miss Callbeck and Miss Boyes. The first big event of the year was the form picnic at our school farm. This, as usual, was a great success, thanks largely to our form teachers, but in spite of the fun we all manag-ed to catch the bus in time. In Inter-Form Basketball, IB was defeated by lA. Special praise should be g-iven to Linda Stearns and Janny Lovering for coaching- these teams, with Diane Cope and Gill Cleather as sub-coaches. First form was well-represented on the fourth basket-ball team by Gill Cleather, Janny Lovering, Linda Stearns and Sue Strathy. During- Ramabai Week lA collected the largest amount collected by any form. We were rewarded for our efforts by being given a free period. There were quite a few excellent opportunities to ski this winter and many of us went up to the school farm and Collingwood. The two form plays, which were held on March 28, were a great success. They were extremely amusing and were very well acted under the guidance of IB ' s brilliant director, Maureen Bullock. IB put on a play called The Exclusive Model. Those acting in it were Norah Kennedy, Margie Smellie, Julie Jarvis, Gill Cleather and Wendy Broome. With the able direction of Mary Daniell-Jenkins, lA produced a play called Alice ' s Blue Gown. The leads were played by Susie Hanna and Susie Phin and other actresses were Cathy Wylie, Judy Harman, Gail Axler, and Sue Strathy. Jane Garden was to have had a part in this play but unfortunately her enthusiasm as our most talented skater resulted in an accident at the last moment, and she had to ' ' sit it out. With the help of Miss Morgan, our Occupations Teacher, lA and IB had two very interesting debates. In the first debate IB defeated lA. The winning debaters were Sandra Sharpe, Carol Starr and Irma Garcia; while lA ' s team was composed of Daphne Botterell, Diane Cope, and Linda Stearns. In the second debate lA was victorious over IB with Gerry Damon, Pam McLean, and Sue Strathy on lA ' s team and Cathy Phin, Julie Jarvis, and Rosamund Walters representing IB. So concludes our year ' s events to the time of writing and I am sure everyone will agree that we have all enjoyed a happy and successful year. 20 The Branksome Slogan The form officers of lA this year were : Sue Strathy — President Barbara Hambly — Vice-President Diane Cope — Secretary-Treasurer Linda Stearns — Library Representative The form officers of IB were : Jane Patterson — President Wendy Broome — Vice-President Marg-ie SmelHe ' — Secretary-Treasurer Heather Stein — Library Representative SECOND FORM REPORT The past year has made Second Form wiser and better prepared to face what is to come. Sports were a great enthusiasm — especially basketball. IIA was successful in defeating first IIB, and then lA, but was defeated by IVB in the semifinals — by one point. Second Form .supported both the clan and school teams. Swimming was well attended. Jane Morgan and Janet Chisholm were on the School Swimming Team. Many were in the water for swim awards FORM PRESIDENTS Left to Right— A. MacBeath. J. Smith. K. Campbell, 8. Ashworth. N. BIythc, S. Killick, N. Currier, J. Patterson, N. Paterson, S. Strathy. J.

April Fool ' s day was a great deal of fun — for the students at least — and we hope that the teachers had some laughs too. The! changing of class-rooms and the ' ' different uniforms confused almost everyone. Later in April the class plays were presented. II A gave ' ' Ici On Parle Francais which as you can guess was a ' Trench comedy; IIB their original, The Family Album. The two presidents have helped us greatly. We thank the rest of the officers too, but if it were not for the cooperation of the rest of the class, nothing could have been accomplished. The officers of second form are as follows: In IIA: Mary Eleanor Smart — President Joan Burgess — Vice-President Elna Magnusson — Secretary-Treasurer Nancy Foggo — Library Representative In IIB: Joyce McMackon — President Ann Lloyd — Vice-President Margot Thompson — Secretary-Treasurer Jane Hetherington — Library Representative Of course those who helped us the most were our wonderful and faith- ful form teachers. We sometimes wonder how they ever had the patience to put up with us. Second Form wishes to thank Miss Duffus and Mrs. Andrew. THIRD FORM REPORT Yes, the book-laden girls with green knee socks, sitting in the streetcar, lunch pails tucked under their arms, gave c ' esr evidence that Third Form at Branksome was back at school. As the school year progressed, the girls with the green knee socks could be seen upholding their teams on the basketball floor. Their teams? They consisted of Jackie Oldham, Eunice Harris, Janet MacDonald, Adele MacBeath, Diane Morice, Judy Chisholm, Barbara Brown, and Ann Farmer, who was the captain. These were from IIIA; and their opponents? Linda Mumford, Carol Simmons, Noreen Lang, Merri Beck, Norma Guttormsson, Barbara Graupner, and Patsy Thompson, who was the captain of IIIB. The final score? 29-11 for IIIA. On Friday night, February 29, the girls were seen attending the Third Form plays — which were presented in the gymnasium. The Will, which was presented by IIIB and whose leading characters were Ruth Ann Melish as Sir Philip Ross, Linda Mumford as Mr. Devices and Merri Beck as Robert Devizes, was well received. After a round of applause IIIA pre- sented their variety show called MacNamara ' s Band, in which the whole class participated. 22 The Branksome Slogan As time passed they waved good-bye to their seven companions who were boarding a special coach for the exchange visit to Cleveland and a last fling before exams. The exams ! and now the girls with the green socks could be seen nightly, slaving over their books in order to assure their passage into Fourth Form, which they hoped would be as happy and profitable as Third. It was with regret that they left Miss Harley and Miss Miller who had shown such a keen interest in their welfare, and it was with apprecia- tion that they looked to their form oflftcers.

The Branksome Slogan 23 FOURTH FORM REPORT Yippee, we dood it! This year the IVA basketball team defeated IIIA and VB to win the Form Basketball Cup. The members of the team were Babs Thomson, Jennifer Denison, Marilyn McClaskey, Susie Marshall (captain), Wendy Simpson, Vera Jory, Marilyn Foord, Mary Bradshaw, and Nancy Currier. Although IVB was defeated, it had a good team composed of Marny Lc timer (captain), Merilyn Rieger, Margot Thorburn, Pam Thayer, Marjorie Scott, Kaye Almas, Gloria MacKenzie, Joan Smith, and Marty McNab. IVA was well represented on the school basketball teams by Jean Wahlroth (First Team), Janet Howard and Daphne Turpel (Second Team) and Mary Lou Rennicks (Third Team). In November, the Fourth Form presented its plays. IVA ' s was a comedy entitled Archibald. It was very ably directed by Babs Thomson, but thank you. Miss MacNeill, for that wonderful coaching. IVB ' s play was also a comedy. The Soft-Hearted Ghost. It was directed by Sandra Shaw, with the aid of Miss Sime. Fourth Form had three form parties. IVB had a successful mixed party at Margot Thorburn ' s house. IVA had a skating party at the Riverdale Terrace. Then a weary IVA dragged itself to Marilyn Earl ' s house for refreshments. The presidents of Fourth Form were Nancy Currier and Joan Smith; the vice-presidents, Maryian Adams and Jennifer Findlay; the secretary- treasurers, Susie Marshall and Glenda Tennyson; the library represent- atives, June Binnie and June Leslie. 24 The Branksome Slogan ARTS AND COMMERCIAL FORMS Once more a brood of chicks has flown the coop (Branksome Hall) and each chick has gone out into the wide blue yonder to seek fame and fortune in her career. Basketball was very popular during- the first term, and the season ended with a match game, IV Arts vs. V Commercial. We give our hearty congratulaticns tO ' IV Arts, the winners. During Ramabai Week, V Commercial led the school in collecting the first contribution, and gained a free period as a prize. On Parent-Teachers ' night, V Arts displayed many colourful posters and Handicraft work; while V Commercial showed the results of their industry — typed letters and pages of shorthand. The officers of these forms were as f ollcw s : V Ccmmercial — President — Betty Ashworth Vice-President — Marilyn Derrington Secretary-Treasurer — Jeann Kohler Library Representative — Isobel Longfield.

To our respective Form Teachers, Mrs. Partridge, Mrs. McLelan, and Mrs. Perry, we give our grateful thanks for their splendid co-operation and for the great patience shown us throughout the year. The Branksome Slogan 25 V FORM The pcets say that Time has wings But we could raise a bet That this year Time has hitched a ride On a record-breaking jet . . . The year began with lots of fun And laughs and merriment; We greeted our old friend the sun And to the farm we went. Soon every or.e had settled down ( ?) And then, before we knew, — A group of famous actresses From cur Fifth Form, they grew. Ail solemnly they did portray Famed Tride and Prejudice ' Till poor Darcy got quite gay And ' Coinns got called ' ' Miss. The next few weeks we wore no .f :rin ; Instead you heard us groan. The fat gals they grew very thin; Exams had made us moan. REPORT But then there came the purple haze That made us walk on air The Christmas Dance — we ' re in a daze We even curl our hair ! That purple haze came once again When Miss Read ' s Dance we hailed. We danced beside the river Seine To France that night we sailed. Complete uniform inspection, right after prayers. Throughout the many years ahead We ' ll remember those basketball aces, Blonde Captain Arch who to victory led And Mary Lou Carnahan ' s graces ! Of course there ' s no one who hasn ' t heard Of our badminton stars and their actions, Of how Gracey effectively chases the bird — Why, they ' re one of our feature attractions ! We could go on forever relating the tale 26 The Branksome Slogan Of our ' ' exploits during the year, But to find enough space we would sadly fail And besides we ' re no poets, we fear ! Soon ' ll be Graduation and fond good-byes To the memorable times in the past ; No longer we ' 11 wear little kilts and plaid ties But the memories will really cling fast ! Adding our serious thoughts in the safer medium of prose, we should like to extend our deep ap- preciation to our form teachers, Miss Phillips and Miss Claxton. Our sincere thanks to our form officers who were as follows: Form Presidents: Nadine Blythe, Nancy Paterson; Secretary-Treas- urers: Mary Hope Swayne, Mari- lyn Chisholm; Library Represent- atives: Jane Pinchin, Nancy Bar- ber.

BRANKSOME HAS ITS MOMENTS ! ! ! 28 The Branksome Slogan Branksome Notes THE VISIT OF LADY MEGAN LLOYD GEORGE Over the years Branksome has welcomed many distinguished vis- itors within its halls and we are especially glad when our guests are women who are prominent public figures. Such was the case on February the first when Lady Megan Lloyd George, accompanied by Dr. MacMillan, long-time phy- sician of the school, paid us a brief visit. Lady Megan has just com- pleted her twenty-second year as a member of parliament. Her visit was very informal and friendly. She was greeted by Miss Read, the Head Girl, Mary Barnett, and Prefects, and after signing the visitor ' s book, met Grade One in the drawing-room. From there she went to the gymnasium where she received a spontaneous recep- tion from the Junior School. There was a swimming display down in the swimming pool after which Lady Megan returned to the gym- nasium where the senior school was assembled, the clan banners flanking the platform. There fol- lowed a short series of Scotitsh and Welsh dances after which Lady Megan delivered a message to the girls, urging them to take an active interest in public affairs of the world, their country and community. The rousing Brank- some honours were then heartily given to Lady Megan before she departed. Lady Megan Lloyd George. THE STRIKE! This year Branksome tasted something, the flavour of which was completely new and different. The situation was brought about by the Toronto Transportation Commission strike. Some Brank- somites came to know what i t meant to their great grandparents to walk two or more miles to school every day ; although, for the most part the girls managed to reach school by car. It was not an uncommon sight to see a car stop and a conglomeration of flailing arms, legs and books come issuing forth in confusion. The only com- pensation was that there was a strange quietness as the announce- ments were being made in prayers, owing to the fact that the street was devoid of the sweetly roaring buses. Picnic at Laurel School The Branksome Slogan 29 A VISIT TO THE LAUREL SCHOOL On the evening of April 24, a happy and excited group of Brank- some girls, accompanied by Miss Sime and Mrs. McLelan, left Toronto to pay a visit to the Laurel School, Shaker Heights, Cleveland Ohio. On arrival in Cleveland, the group was met by Miss Maude Tomlin, who had accompanied Laurel visitors to Branksome last year, and by a committee of girls from the school. Thus began a wonderful three days in which our girls and teach- ers fully enjoyed the warmth and friendliness of American hospital- ity. Miss Lake, the Headmistress of Laurel School, and her Faculty and girls had planned a most in- teresting round of activities, in- cluding a theatre party, a picnic, visits to many of Cleveland ' s beautiful churches, and, believe it or not, visits to classes, which the Branksomites thoroughly enjoyed! Let us hope that this pleasant exchange of visits will long con- tinue, and that our friends of the Laurel School will be with us at Branksome again in the near future. BROADCASTING On five different occasions dur- ing the school year, Branksome audiences have sat in the gym- nasium, listening to Branksome ' s own programme, coming in on the air waves from Station B.H.S. The material broadcast has always been of an educational nature, featur- ing historical plays of pioneering days and sketches of the lives of famous musicians. The announc- er, however, has sometimes struck a more informal note in her con- tact with the unseen audience of the air. Many thanks are due to Miss MacNeill for her able direction of the programmes. . . and so, until next eyar, this is our inter- corridor network signing off after a very successful year. THE GATHERING OF THE CLANS Kilts Were Flying Kilts were flying at Read acres on September 14th, the day on which the annual Gathering of the Clans was held. The recently ap- pointed clan chieftains proudly held their banners high, and loyal subjects rallied around them. Clan yells filled the air and spirits ran high. The Mighty MacGregors carried off the honours — and the cake; while the Campbells and the Douglases proved to be the run- ners-up ! Later on, the rivalry only in- creases. The clans oppose each other to gain laurels in swimming, basket ball, badminton and bowl- ing, as well as in other contests sponsored during the year. 30 The Branksome Slogan Activities . . . THE CAROL SERVICE Sunday, December 16, 1951, St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church was ag ain the scene of Brank- some ' s Carol Service. Every girl arrived on that frosty afternoon with her uniform perfect, ready to take her part in the impressive ceremony. The program was divided into two parts — the first part entitled ' Joy to the World. After the pro- cessional hymn the Senior School sang ' ' The Great God of Heaven. Throughout the service many smaller groups took part — first and second forms, the Senior Choir and a Senior Ensemble. The mem- bers of the Junior School thrilled the congregation with their sweet, sincere sing-ing- of many traditional carols. In their repertoire was included the French carol ' ' Entre le Boeuf et TAne Gris. The sing- ing of a hymn closed this part of the service. The Christmas Story in Song was beautifully told in the second part of the program. In an at- mosphere of quiet reverence each chapter of the story was unfolded. At the completion of the ancient carol, Three Mighty Kings, the church was darkened. As Mr. Bales played Silent Night the shepherds and wise men moved forward to adore the Holy Babe in the arms of His mother. Then the school joined with them in singing the beautiful hymn of adoration The Sanctus. This was followed by the inspiring Bach chorale Break Forth, 0 Beaute- ous Heavenly Light. The sing- ing of As With Gladness Men of Old marked the close of the ser- vice. We want to express to Mrs. Coutts and Mme. Perry our most sincere thanks for making this an- nual event such a memorable one. PREFECT ' S DINNER The prefects ' dinner, which had been discontinued for the past few ■ years, took place once again ot Miss Read ' s house following the Installation of Prefects. An ex- cellent meal was prepared by the volunteering hands of Miss Mc- Michael and Miss Clark. Follow- ing this an informal discussion was held by Miss Read and the prefects and sub-prefects concern- ing the coming season, and many helpful ideas were presented. This was also an opportunity for the promotion of a harmonious relation- ship between the new school of- ficers and should, if possible, be an annual affair. The Branksome Slogan 31 BETA KAPPA REPORT Dance No. 1 Allemande left, to the cor- ners all got us into the swm of the Hallowe ' en Masquerade. The gym was decorated with pumpkins, black cats, witches and a few cornstalks borrowed from a farmer ' s field. The two scarecrows, however, were the friendliest imaginable crea- tures, grinning down at the square dancers from their pre- carious perches on the wings. The staff delighted us with their interpretation of Cheap- er by the Dozen and may we add that Miss Sime made a per- fect baby and received several curtain calls for her outstand- ing performance. Supper was served in the dining room, to end all too quickly an evening of real fun. Dance No. 2 Twas the week before Christmas, when all through Main House Not a boarder was stirring, not even a mouse. The pine boughs were hung on the windows with care We hoped that they ' d stay ' til the dancers got there. The trees were all laden with tinsel and light Which shone through the windows out into the night. Bev. up on the ladder, Lou hammering the wall Oops ! here comes a teacher, out in the hall . . . Now from the orchestra there arose such a clatter Quick ! the reception line, what is the matter? Good old St. Nick peered down at the crowd And even the snowmen seemed jaunty and proud. Supper was delicious and served with great style We showed our approval of it with a smile. As out to the snow-falling world we descended All agreed that a wonderful dance had just ended, And we heard them exclaim as they went out the door : ' ' Up and on Branksome and may there be more ! 32 The Branksome Slogan Dance No. 3 An evening in Paris! — Something- most of us dream about, but few experience. This dream came true for all Senior Branksomites at our annual dance on the evening of January nineteenth, when Miss Read welcomed us in Gay Paree. Park benches, dimly lit street lamps, and a sidewalk cafe, French flags and the Eiffel Tower made a perfect setting for the gay music of Grant Bogart and his orchestra. Many thanks to Pat Fulford for the outstanding portraits of Les Jeunes Filles Parisiennes. A delicious buffet super was served by candlelight. On behalf of all the Branksome Tourists we would like to thank Miss Read and members of the Beta Kappa Committee for our memorable evening in Paris. Dance No. 4 This year a new dance was added to our annual programme. Saturday, January the nineteenth saw young, energetic couples square dancing, playing ping-pong and visiting the swimming pool. You may have guessed that these were our lively grade eight and first and second formers. A delightful supper was served to round off an excellently planned evening by Miss Read. Wasn ' t it a terrific dance ? Dance No. 5 Graduation Dance : May it be a great success. Dance No. 6 Strawberry Festival: We know that this dance will be a perfect ending to a perfect year. OPHELEO REPORT On behalf of the members of the Opheleo I should like to express my appreciation to the Junior and Senior Schools for their co-operation. Our special thanks goes to the Junior School for its outstanding work. In India, we supported our Indian teacher, an orphan at Manmad, and the Branksome Hall bed in Ludhiana. We sent a subscription to the Ramabai Mission and also contributions to missions in Africa, South America, Mexico, China and Europe. Here at home we supported the Jewish Mission and the Merchant Marines Mission. We have all enjoyed our year on the Opheleo, and we hope that the future members of the committee will find as much pleasure in serving such a worthy cause as we have this year. JANE KERR, President.

THE SENIOR CHOIR On Thursday, May 1st, the Branksome Hall Senior Choir presented its second annual concert. The Choir was started only last year by Mrs. Coutts, and has grown and thrived under her direction. The skill dis- played at the concert seemed greater than that of a two-year-old institution. The following programme was presented : GOD SAVE THE QUEEN Now Thank We All Our God 1. It Was A Lover And His Lass Thomas Morley (From As You Like It ) 2. Fairy Lullaby Arr. by Hugh S. Robertson 3. The Gipsies ' Laughing Trio Stephen Glover 4. Mo uvements Perpetuels Francis Poulenc Barbara Williams 5. Orpheus With His Lute Edward German 6. Where ' er You Walk Handel-Pitcher 7.

BASKETBALL REPORT This autumn began one of Brank- some ' s best basketball seasons. Under the able coaching of Miss Gilbert the four school teams un- dertook a rigorous schedule. (Whose idea was that 8.30 prac- tice?) The season officially started with the Old Girls ' Game. The teams, previous to the game, enjoyed a wonderful dinner given by Miss Read. We were all very glad to see so many members of last year ' s First Team return for the evening, and our joy was complete when the present First Team proved vic- torious. Any member of the team will remember the Havergal Game, for a long time to come. Losing witii a score of 11-4 at half time, Brank- some players were beginning to lose all hope. Then, amid great excitement they completely baffled their opponents (and themselves), by literally pouring in the baskets to win, 21-20 ! Against Moulton and Bishop Strachan School Branksome was also successful, thanks to fifteen points scored by Mary Lou Carna- han. St. Clement ' s, however, de- feated Branksome by one point. The Second Team also showed top basketball form. Their team- The Branksome Slogan 37 work and clean playing brought them victories over St. Clement ' s, Moulton and Bishop Strachan School. They lost one game, to Havergal. The Third and Fourth Teams deserve special mention, with the Third Team winning two out of three games played, and the Fourth Team wining one out of three. The Clan Competitions were keenly contended, with the Ross Clan taking the cup. Form Basketball was another highlight of the season. IVA maintained its position of victor. Now that the year is almost over, we can look back with plea- sure on the basketball season. Many thanks to Miss Gilbert who, throughout, has proved a source of inspiration to us all.

Reserves: Janet Chisholm, Jan- ice McBride, Jane Morgan. BADMINTON AND BOWLING This year Badminton and Bowl- ing at Saint Paul ' s were even more popular than usual. Branksome played a very interesting Bowling match with Saint Clement ' s on March 28th. The team consisted of the following players: Rita Barr, Pat Shannon, Phyllis Clarke. The Clan Bowling Match was close- ly contested between the McLeods and the Douglases, the former win- ning by one point. (Accidents will happen). Campbells came third. The following girls played on the Badminton team: Pam Smith, Marion Gracey, Connie Stiles, Judy Lovering, Joy Logie and Gw n Thomas. The Badminton Doubles also were won by the McLeod, Douglas and Campbell Clans in that order. McLeod and Ross tied the Badminton Singles with thirty- one points each. Scott came third. The results of the individual competitions for the Badminton School Championships were as fol- lows : Doubles (16 couples competing) — Connie Stiles, Marion Gracey. Singles (2.5 competitors) — Pam Smith. 38 The Branksome Slogan SWIMMING In September, Branksome ' s mer- maids began once more to dive and swim in the pool, which was again under the expert supervision of Miss Garneys. In November the competitions between clans caused much en- thusiasm and anticipation of co- veted points. Eventually the great- est number of points was won by the Scott Clan. Many Life-Saving examinations and Water Safety tests were taken in December, and passed by all applicants. At the Inter-school meet in Feb- ruary, Bishop Strachan School took top honours, with Havergal coming second, and Branksome third. THT INTER-SCHOOL GOLF COMPETITION On September 21, 1951, the Inter-school Golf Competition was held at the Toronto Ladies ' Golf and Tennis Club. Under the cap- able direction of members of the Club, teams from Branksome, Ha- vergal, Bishop Strachan and St. Clement ' s competed for the team cup, which was donated many years ago by Miss Ada MacKenzie. Over the sporty layout of this course the girls played, not miss- ing any part of it. Spirits were high, as were the scores: the drives were too short and the putts were too long. Bishop Strachan was successful in winning, with Branksome only a few strokes behind. This year Branksome ' s teams were made up of Janet Howard (Capt.), Nancy Lyle, Sonya Snyder, Judy Lover- ing, Lyn Pringle and Noreen Laing. After playing, the teams were guests of the Toronto Ladies ' Golf and Tennis Club at a most delight- ful tea. Miss Ada MacKenzie, one- time Canadian Women ' s Golf Champion, was present, and gave a short and most encouraging talk on golf. The prizes which were presented to the winning team, and to the runners-up, had been kindly donated by Miss Mac- Kenzie. SKIING AND SKATING Toronto had its fair share of SHOW this winter, and as a result there were many very jolly week- ends spent at the school farm. No major calamities occurred — with one exception, when Shirley Killick determined to learn Canadian sports the hard way. We were fortunate in repeating this year our trip to Collingwood. Our enthusi- asm proved how much we enjoyed it. Varsity Stadium was a favourite haunt for the Branksome skaters, and the boarders enjoyed Friday night skating parties to the full. All in all, we have had a most successful season of outdoor sports. Hail to next winter ! Watch For Next Year ' s Slogan THE JUBILEE NUMBER The Branksome Slogan 39 Junior Activities . . . THE JUNIOR CHOIR SINGING This has been a very successful singing year for the Junior School. We made many trips to the Senior building and spent many long hours practising for the Kiwanis Music Festival. Despite the fact that we only came second we had a wonder- ful time competing against other schools. The Junior School is very fortunate to have such an able music teacher as Mrs. Coutts and such a tireless pianist as Mrs. Dowie. We wish them to know we are very grateful for all they have done. SCOTTISH DANCING Throughout the year, several of the girls of Grades 7 and 8 have been taking part in the Senior Scottish dancing classes instruct- ed by Miss Gilbert. The most ac- complished dancers are Joyce and Joan Sanderson, Jackie Burroughs, Judy McClaskey and Gail Burton. We are most grateful to Miss Gil- bert and Miss Lea, the pianist, for giving us this wonderful oppor- tunity. JUNIOR GYM DISPLAY The main event in the Junior School last term was the Junior Gym Display. We had as our hon- oured guest Lady Megan Lloyd George. The smaller grades did some Scottish Dances and eight 40 TfiE Branksome Slogan girls from Grade Seven and Eight were chosen to dance the Prince of Wales dance, We appreciate the time and help that Miss Gilbert put into the display. PING PONG During the cold winter months Grades 6. 7 and 8 had a ping pong tournament. Most of the girls competed and those who were de- feated and those who won tried very hard. Barbara Mc Williams and Sandra Lindsay were runners up and the winners were Monica Ornstein and Gail Burton. Prizes were presented by Miss Johnston and Mrs. Dowie. BASKETBALL During the early autumn, Mary Wilkinson and Miss Gilbert, our coaches, selected the players for the Junior Basketball team. The players were : Forwards : Joan San- derson, Wendy Lockhart, Anne Moore, Cathy Johnston and Cathie Aylesworth. Guards: Joyce San- derson, Margot Dunn, Pamela Kerr, Jackie Burroughs and Jane Watson. The team was successful in win- ning the games against Bishop Strachan, Moulton and St. Clem- ents, but was defeated by Haver- gal College. JUNIOR BASKETBALL Left to Right: Back Row—Pamela Kerr.

The Branksome Slogan 41 SWIMMING One of Branksome ' s main activi- ties is swimming. The girls of Branksome take part in swimming- meets with other schools and meets among themselves. Brank- some Hall ' s swimming team was placed third in a swimming meet between four schools this year. Several afternoons a week, help is given to girls who wish to pass Red Cross tests, and also an extra afternoon for the ambitious girls who wish to learn to dive and to try for the school swimmmg cham- pionship. We thank Miss Garneys very much for her time which she has given us in teaching us how to swim. SKAli.NG MY PONY I have a little pony, 1 think he ' s sort of cute. But early in the morning. He started playing a flute. He whistled at bluebirds. And turned some summersaults. He ' s friendly with the doggies, But has lots and lots of faults. He ' s like a bee for honey, Except it ' s with his oats. He ' s really quite a pony. And very nice with folks. MARY WINNETT, Grade V. 42 The Branksome Slogan The Branksome Slogan 43 Legamus! Translation From the Latin VERGIL: THE DREADFUL DOOM OF LAOCOON A portent ghastlier than the rest Is wrought since we can not foresee, Ill-fated mortals that we be, Minerva take revenge for jest ! Laocoon upon the sand As Neptune ' s priest makes sacrifice, A bull he offers to the god, While round about his comrades stand. But lo ! across the slimy deep, (I shudder so, the tale to tell !) From Tenedos, two serpents sleek O ' er crest the billows and the swell. Their bloody breasts the sea make red, Their backs are twisted coil on coil As in and out they hideous writhe, The black salt-spume streaks up o ' erhead. Their eyes suffused with poison ' d fire, They lick their gaping, hissing jaws With quivering tongues which soon will taste The death of two young sons and sire. They skim along the shore — we flee. Our blood turned icy at the sight ; They near Laocoon whose might Shall not escape the ir gory bite. His two small sons the beasts embrace. And feed with greed upon their limbs, Laocoon next is seized in haste, Their coils are twined about his waist. He struggles mad to tear asunder Their scaly forms around his back, His cries resound like booming thunder, . His locks are smeared with poison black. ' Tis done. They glide away And seek the hill of holy shrines. Beneath Minerva ' s temple lie. Beneath her shield which golden shines. JUDITH JEPHCOTT, Form V. 44 The Branksome Slogan BY THE CREEK Just as the first grey rays of sunlight flitted across the water and vanished into the lightening woods, the sound of whistling could be heard, piercing the early morning stillness like a clean knife. Within a few minutes the water began to sparkle with pinpoints of fire from the rising sun as it slowly touched first the tips of the soaring pines, and then the willows, entwined along the banks of the brook, and finally the water beneath. Around the bend in the path that wound its crooked way down to the creek ' s edge, came a barefoot boy, three cows, and a half-grown puppy, now and then nipping playf ully at the animals ' heels. As the boy rounded the bend, he stopped, as he did every morning, wondering anew at the wild beauty of the scene before him. Looking down into the green dusk, he saw that the creek narrowed and was half-hidden in wild honeysuckle and purple iris. Spotted lilies grew at the edge and a pair of blue herons rose, legs stiff. Foaming about the great stones that had once rolled down its mossy banks, the creek meandered crazily, gurgling and tumbling on its noisy wiay. The birds at this hour were mostly unseen, but their song could be heard in every part of the wood, from the clear pipe of the wild canary, to the deep note of the wood pigeon. With a sigh of contentment the boy prodded the animals on again and slowly descended the mossy banks to the ci-eek ' s edge. Here, while the cows drank of the clear water and munched the sweet grass that lined the brink, the boy sat down on a log that had been felled across the stream, dabbling his feet in the waiter and soaking up warm rays of the sun that, now rose red and dazzling above the tree tops. Soon the butterflies were out, not in ones or twos, but flying in bright throngs, sometimes hanging like flowers on a branch, then moving swiftly away. By high noon, the cows had wandered through their own well-worn paths by the side of the creek, trying to scratch away, with the low willow boughs, the pestering flies that continually plagued them at this torrid time of day. The pup, worn out from chasing rabbits and chipmunks, lapped up a cool drink from the creek ' s edge, and flopped down under the shade of a low bush. The boy was sitting under the shade of a willow, eating his lunch. With the coming of late afternoon, the sky began to darken, and fearing a storm, the boy whistled for his roaming dog, and headed for home, leaving the stream to the will of the storm. Swallows, like a flight of gust-caught leaves, flying high, tossed in the muttering sky. The leaves hung still. Above the early twilight the hurrying centres of the storm gathered, and spread darkening shadows over everything. The creek, black with shadow, swirled and eddied on, unmindful of the torrent that would soon wash its stones clean and swell its banks to bursting. The Branksome Slogan 45 Then with a loud roar, the blast of the storm plunged, with poplar and pine sweeping- and swaying- and the pelted water jumping. Sheet upon sheet of drenching rain could be seen behind the wild white flashes that seemed to split the heavens in half. As swiftly as it had come, so quickly it abated, leaving in its wake, sweet-smelling bushes and flowers, and dripping trees. But the creek rushed on, seeming to say as it roared its swift way through the woods — ' ' You may go, but never 1. MARGARET NICHOLS, V Commercial THE LOST RACE Did you ever think what it means to be An Indian son like me? To sit by the stream, and think and think Of the first white man, who came to sink The heart of a people both strong and free, Who now are but ghosts of Sioux and Cree. Once great leaders of land and race Of a past all glorious with brightest face : Men, and beasts, and land and sky. Now all gone as time goes by.
