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.

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.

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.
