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
