Jubilee Number, 1953 Page seven In discussing Branksome ' s Jubilee Year, one is inclined to let the phrase roll gUbly off the tongue without stopping to consider what the past fifty years have really meant to the school. First of all, there has been the school ' s tremendous growth — in enrollment, from approximately seventy-five girls to the present over five hundred pupils ; in housing, from a rented building to sixty acres of land and nine buildings. New Classrooms, playing courts and grounds have been added over the years ; radical changes have been made in the uniform ; new courses have been included; old courses have been extended or modified. Two world wars have strengthened Brank some ' s ties with Great Britain and the world — especially during the last war when almost two hundred students from the Old Land spent some time at our school. Yet more than mere physical growth, the fine spirit established by the girls in the early years has grown year by year so that Branksomites to-day have fifty years of fine traditions and achievements they can look back upon with great pride. They too have a sense of unity, and of awareness that Branksome stands not only for schoolwork, but also for whatsoever things are true, honest, just and pure . With these ideals, Branksome, its roots firmly planted in the past, can face the future with faith and confidence. May Branksome girls fifty years from now be able to celebrate their school ' s hundredth anniversary as proudly and joyfully as we in 1953 celebrate this. The Jubilee Year. THE EDITOR Page eight The Branksome Slogan Miss Read, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a very great honour, as well as a very great privilege to be called on, on this glorious occasion, to represent the early years of the school, and the girls who were the first students of Branksome Hall. But although it is an honour and a privilege, I cannot truthfully say that it is a great pleasure, as I find it quite terri- fying, in my declining years, to be con- fronted for the first time in my life with a microphone, and also, to be called upon to speak before such a large and imposing audience, is enough to daunt the bravest spirit. But you all know Miss Read! When she called me up and asked me to do this, she over-ruled all my objections by the simple method of saying Good- Bye and hanging up! Now, to admit that I was in the school in September, 1903, is indeed to put my pride in my pocket. But were I to take the easy way out, and say that I was in the nursery school, there are girls in this room, contemporaries of mine, who would immediately rise to their feet, and publicly denounce me ! So that avenue of escape is definitely closed. To realize that our school has reached its fiftieth year, is a sobering thought. But Miss Read feels that this occasion is not entirely one of gaiety and excitement, but also one of quiet joy and thankfulness. Joy that the vision and ideals of the early years have been reached, and thankful- ness that our school has been permitted not only to continue its existence, but to grow and expand in the most am.azmg way, constantly reaching higher stand- ards of character and education. Now, I would like to take you back to the first school. It was a large handsome residence on Bloor St. East, the former house of the late Sir Frank Smith. It was surrounded by spacious lawns, large trees, an iron fence and gates and a drive- way. The driveway was for carriages. In that era there were no radios, no television sets, no aeroplanes — and I might add, no microphones — and His late Majesty, King Edward VII sat upon the throne of England. But the girls of that day were not aware of any lack of modern invention or luxury. They played tennis and basket ball and had a skating rink, but there was no gymnasium, no swimming pool and no school uniform. The girls wore blouses and skirts, high collars, long sleeves and high buttoned boots. The popular hair- do, a pompadour was topped with large butterfly bows of wide black tafi ' eta ribbon. To those of us who knew Miss Margaret T. Scott, the founder of Branksome Hall, she will be remembered as a remarkable woman of her day and generation. She had a strong personal- ity, force of character and great digriity. As Lady Principal and Teacher, she brought to her pupils, a fine mind, long ex- perience in teaching and a warm human understanding. If once you became her pupil, she never forgot you but was deep- ly interested in your welfare as long as she lived. Associated with Miss Scott as co-prmci- pal was Miss Merrick, a charming person, whom we all remember with pleasure. Among the staff, I knew Miss Mary Mac- Jubilee Number, 1953 donald, Miss Mabel McCurdy, Miss Anna McRae and Miss Susan Fotheringham. One of the highlights of the school week was the series of lectures on English Lit- erature by Dr. Alexander MacMillan, and I have in my proud possession a beautiful book of engravings which was presented to me by Dr. MacMillan as a prize for an Essay on Elizabethan Literature. The other prize presented at the same time was won by Jean Ross McKay — now a missionary in Formosa. But although all the staff contributed to the success of the school in more early years, the guiding spirit was always that of Miss Scott herself. As she had always been a serious Bible student and had a strong Christian faith, she built her school upon a foundation of Bible precepts and Bible knowledge. It was not surprising that a school, built upon such a foundation of integrity should quickly win the confidence of the public, and in a few months after Branksome opened its doors, new class-rooms had to be added and the following year, still more. Sometime during Miss Scott ' s regime but a long time after my day, there came to the school as a boarder, a little girl. She had dark curly hair, big brown eyes and was noted for her lovely smile, her vivacity and her friendliness to every- one. But no one guessed then what an important part she was to play in the future of the school. This was no other than Miss Ainslie McMichael. It is impossible for me in a few words to express what a fine contribution I feel Ainslie has made. As a former pupil her- Page nine self and a very active part of the present day life of Branksome she is an invalu- able link, a sort of Liaison Officer between the old pupils and the school as it is now. You will all agree with me I know, that Ainslie ' s vivid personality has added some- thing very vital to the Branksome story. Now we shall go back to 1906. Three years after the school was first opened, a new member was appointed to the staff in the pei ' son of a young girl from Halifax, Nova Scotia, She brought with her, young as she was, a brilliant scholastic record, both from Dalhousie University and Radcliffe College, Cambridge Massa- chusetts. In appointing Miss Edith M. Read, M.A., to her staff. Miss Scott build- ed better than she knew for four vears afterwards, having grown weary and feel- ing the weight of her years, Miss Scott gave up the school and gladly and thank- fully placed it in the hands of Miss Read. It was a matter of supreme satisfaction to the founder that the new Principal of Branksome would carry on the same high standards and ideals which she herself had striven so faithfully to uphold. How well Miss Read has lived up to the sacred trust which was placed upon her shoulders, only those of us can ap- preciate who have watched with affection and loyalty, the progress of the school until its fiftieth year. In closing I would like to pay my tribute, not only to Miss Scott, not only to Branksome Hall in its fiftieth year, but to Dr. Edith Read, whose qualities of mind and heart and whose indomitable spirit, have made this Golden Jubilee possible. Page ten The Branksome Slogan This week-end, April 23rd to 26th, cele- brating Branksome ' s fifty years, began with Open House at the School Thursday afternoon. Many Alumnae, parents, friends and present girls came to see the different activities presented. Events were held continuously in the swimming pool and games of volley ball, basketball, etc., were played in the gym and grounds. All the classrooms as well as the living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, etc., were open to inspection ; cooking was demonstrated in Home Economics and work was shown in sewing, handicrafts and in the Commercial Department. On Saturday evening, April 25th, a most enjoyable dance was held at the Strath- gowan Club, and on Sunday morning many attended a special service at St. Andrew ' s United Church, when the Branksome Choir supplied the music. But there is no doubt that the highlight of the Jubilee celebrations was the dinner held at the Royal York Hotel, Friday even- ing, April 24th. Under Miss Read ' s splen- did management it was an unqualified success. There was never a dull moment. In every event during Branksome ' s Jubilee year, the keynotes have been praise and thanksgiving and it was fitting that at the dinner, which was the biggest event, this note should be struck. Before we sat at table Miss Portia White sang the doxology in the old Scottish rendering of the words and music. In order to bring up to date the girls who had not been at the school for some time, various innovations made during the years were presented between courses. Led by Pipers, girls in the colourful uni- forms of the Head Girl, Prefects, Sub- prefects, Clan Chieftains and ordinary students, formed a group on the platform, surrounding a four tiered birthday cake on which were fifty candles, this was made by the school cook. At this time the school song was sung and the cake cut by Ains- lie McMichael. The toast to Her Majesty, the Queen, was followed by speeches. The speakers were all brief, very much to the point and most entertaining, beginning with Dr. Al- exander MacMillan, who gave Branksome its name and was a member of the original staff and who made a most delightful speech. Lillie Shannon Plant, who was a pupil the first day the school opened, then gave a very fine address telling of Brank- some ' s early days. Katharine Boyd car- ried on from there covering a period of some years, followed by Isabel Adams Mcintosh who proposed a toast to Miss Read after which For She ' s A Jolly Good Fellow was sung. Many telegrams from absent friends and alumnae were read before the Principal called on Constance Cann Wolf, Branksome ' s only balloonist, to say a few words. Joan Mitchell Blintoft followed with a very witty speech, then, in closing, Jean Wahlroth, this year ' s Head Girl, brought us up to date by describing Branksome as it is to-day. It is, unfortunately, impossible to con- vey in words the enthusiasm, the happy atmosphere and the very fine tone which one felt from the very beginning of pro- ceedings until the last notes of Auld Lang Syne were sung. Jubilee Number, 1953 Page eleven On October tenth, 1952, the installation of prefects took place in Rosedale United Church. For the first time, parents and friends of every girl were invited to at- tend the ceremony which Miss Read open- ed with an introductory address on the school motto, Keep Well the Road. The ratification of the appointments of prefects, sub-prefects and clan chief- tains then took place, and was followed by the presentation of the head girl and each prefect to our special guest, General Sir Arthur Smith. The four flags of Truth, Honour, Justice, and Purity were handed on from last year ' s prefects to their successors. Our new head girl re- ceived the school flag from her predecessor and promised to fulfil the responsibilities of her new position. In k eeping with the solemn moment, General Sir Arthur Smith addressed the school, identifying the Trinity with every- day life. He reminded Branksome girls that the school has the Bible as the foun- dation for its high ideals. The service closed with the ceremonial march out of church, led by the red- kilted head girl and prefects with flags, and followed by guests, staff , sub-prefects and clan chieftains with their banners. Once again the keeping of traditions at Branksome had ben handed down to those who promised to uphold and honour the high standards of the school. CLAN CHIEFTAINS Left to right — J. Logic, M. Latimer, M. L. Rennicks.A. M. Harding, L. J. Levering. Mumford, M. Bradshaw. M. Foord, Page twelve The Branksome Slogan On Januai-y thirteenth, 1953, a second installation of prefects took place, this time in the school gymnasium. The procession passed through the guard of honour formed by the sub-pre- fects. The clan chieftains took their places at the back of the stage, then- ban- ners prominently displayed. From Sherborne School in Dorset, Eng- land, the Head Mistress, Miss Diana Reader Harris, had come to be our guest speaker. After the prefects had been in- stalled. Miss Reader Harris spoke to the girls, reminding them that Branksome and Sherborne had been founded on the same religious principles. Her visit will long be remembered by every Branksome girl ; for her sincerity and friendliness captured every Branksome heart. This impressive ceremony can truly be considered one of the outstanding events of our Jubilee Year. 7 e zd Sfieec (As delivered at the Jubilee Dinner, April 24th, 1953.) Miss Read, Honoured Guests, members of the Alumnae, and Girls: — You have just had a history lesson on the first 50 years of our School. It is my pleasure to-night as Head Girl of the present year to give you a short lesson on Current Events. Of course every one thinks that her year is the best year of all — but we of 1953 are sure of it. How could it be otherwise — imagine taking a whole year to celebrate a Jubilee — every day something thrilling happening. What marvellous idea it is I We of 1953 hope — and I feel sure you will all agree with me — that this will become one of the many traditions of our School so that when our grandchildren are here for the 100th celebration, the principal will know her Bible as well as Miss Read and she too will read Leviticus 25 and 26 and make her plans accordingly. However, I would like on behalf of all the present girls to tell the Old Girls here to-night that we fully realize what a debt of gratitude we owe to you for the splendid foundation you have laid in the years that are past. Each of the 50 years has contri- buted something of real value — every year new ideas have been added which have become traditions of the School — every year the high scholastic standards and the fine school spirit which have made Branksome famous have been maintained, until now we can proudly state we have one of the finest schools in Canada, and are known not only throughout our own land, but as you can judge for yourselves from the many messages just read from far distant places, we are known in many other lands as well. This is the outcome of the work of no one year, or of no one person, but of individuals working to- gether for the good of all. Now that contribution does not end when we leave school. Therefore let us. Alumnae and Present Girls, ever strive to work together for the good of our school, so that it may continue to stand on our four cornerstones of Truth, Honesty, Jus- tice and Purity, and ever uphold our motto : Therefore serve God Keep well the road Thy fame shall not decay. In closing I would like to say that we of the Graduating Class of ' 53 believe we are leaving behind us a group of girls, second to none, a group capable and anxious to carry on and to reach even greater heights. We have indeed a wonderful heritage. The future is bright with promise. Let us not fail. Jubilee Number, 1953 Page thirteen Editor-in-Chief: Elizabeth Thomson. Advertising Editor: Marilyn McClaskey.

Page twenty-eight The Branksome Slogan Jubilee Number, 1953 Page twenty-nine Page thirty The Branksome Slogan First Form has had a splendid number of activities in all fields during our much celebrated Jubilee Year. We have been represented in almost every event and have had a wonderful time taking part. On the Fourth Basketball Team Cathy Aylesv rorth, Anne Moore, and Wendy Lockhart were stars. Sheila Harvey, Lisa Inksater, Nancy Simpson, Rosalie Biggar, and Cathy Clarke took part in the Scottish dancing exhibitions. The First Form is also proud to announce that Joyce San- derson, Jane Watson, Joan Sanderson, and Jeanne Monier have passed their swim- ming tests and received their bronze medals. To top off this good showing in sports, we add that many First Formers are to be found in the Friday afternoon apparatus class. This year IB will present a play, A Young Man ' s Fancy , starring Diana Chambers, Anne Helm, Sheila Bamford, and directed by Susan Stanley. lA will produce Elmer , starring Carol Anne Coutts and Jane Burt. We feel that we have had a most suc- cessful year, made possible by the able direction of Miss Phimister and Miss Boyes, and by the help of the class officers who are as follows : President (IB) _ Joan Sanderson Vice-President Jeanne Monier Secretary-Treasurer Mary Rogers President (lA) Jane Watson Vice-President Cathy Johnston Secretary-Treasurer Penny Jenkins In Second Form, Branksome ' s Jubilee Year has been an especially memorable one. In sports, basketball was, as usual, very popular. The IIA team, captained by Karin Turnbull and coached by Linda Stearns, was triumphant over IIA and IIB, but fell, after a close game, to IIIA. Swimming has provided much fun this year, and many girls have advanced in their skill. (Gerry Damon won her bronze medal). The Form has also enjoyed the badmin- ton and bowling afternoons at St. Paul ' s, and there has been great enthusiasm shown in the Scottish dancing classes with Miss Duff us. We are all looking forward to tennis and baseball in the spring, and hope to be well represented in the various tournaments. Turning to intellectual matters, we must mention two rousing debates held in IIB during March. Ruth Walmsley, Jane Pat- terson, and Jane Magee won the first, and Judy Ross, Meg Smellie, and Mary Jane Traviss were victors in the second. IIA had a very good representation in the Senior Choir this year, and also in the Verse Speaking Contest. Mary Daniell- Jenkins was sent as one of the School ' s representatives to the contest held this year at Central Technical School. Other dramatic talent came to light in the Form plays. On April twenty-second, IIA presented Ghost Farm, directed by Jennifer Campbell, Barbara Hambly, and Mary Daniell-Jenkins. The cast included Karin Turnbull, Judy Harmon, Pam Mc- Lean, Pat Hopkins, Sue Phin, Wendy Broome, Linda Stearns, and Glenda Gosse. A one act comedy. Seven to One, pro- duced by IIB, was most entertaining. Tak- ing part were Maureen Bullock, Ruth Walmsley, Carol Starr, Jane Magee, Mary Jane Traviss, Carolyn Swallow, and Sally Pearson. Interested spectators at the Coronation Jubilee Number, 1953 Page thirty-one Page thirty-two The Branksome Slogan procession in June will be Linda Stearns and Sue Strathy of IIA. We should like to mention that Pam McLean thrilled us all (and Miss Boyes) by making 100 on her Easter Geometry exam ! Next year ' s representative at the Sher- borne School in Dorset, England, will be a member of our class, Mary Daniell- Jenkins. Good luck, Mary! In closing we should like to thank our Form teachers, Mi ' s. Lowry and Miss Duffus, for a most successful year. Form Officers President (IIB) Maureen Bullock Vice-President — Marcia Mag-wood Secretary-Ti ' easurer Ann Drain President (IIA) Joyce Walker Vice-President Karin Turnbull Secretary-Treasurer Susan Phin ' P outfit e te First — here is a toast to our tolerant, patient, kindly form teachers. Miss Clax- ton of A. and Miss Miller of B. who have guided us along our way. Your efforts have not been wasted — a fact we hope to prove ere we reach fifth fonn ! We were privileged in the early fall to make our annual trip to Clansdale Heights where friendly relaxation fosters that healthy lasting Branksome feehng, and the form picnic was a great success. We of Third Form constitute a sport- ing crowd and are justly proud of our teams. Jane Morgan as captain of III A led her team to victory in defeating V A to win the inter-form basketball cham- pionship. Jane ' s able assistants were play- ers — Janet Chisolm, Jane Arnott, Mary Bolton, Jody Engholm, Joan Burgess, Sydney Shaw, and Mary Jane Bickle. Al- though III B ' s form basketball team met with defeat, players Joyce McMackon, Sue Strickland, Ann Lloyd, Gail Durance, Jane Saunders, and Lynne Pringle show- ed plenty of zeal and good sportsmanship. Ann Lloyd, Margot Thompson, Joyce Mc- Mackon, Jody Engholm, Janet Chisolm, Janice McBride, and Jane Morgan represented Third Form on the school basketball teams. Congratulations Jody, Engholm ! In the Inter-School Swimming Meet Jody dis- tinguished herself and brought honour to Third Form by winning the Senior Diving Competition. Janet Chisolm, Jane Morgan and Mary Bolton also competed as mem- bers of the swimming team. The year rolled on and before we real- ized it we Thirds were busily employed rehearsing form plays. Our plays this year were both in the humourous vein. Margaret Bennett, Lynne Pringle, Joyce McMackon and Gill Allen combined their efforts to instruct III B in the production of Little Darling, while Nancy Foggo directed III A ' s Uncle Bob ' s Bride. It was all such good fun and the directors report their stage aspirants to be a re- ceptive group. Where have III B ' s extra pennies been going? Since September collections have been mounting towards the purchase of a silver cup to be presented on the oc- casion of Jubilee Year to a Third Former at the June prize giving. Our form officers have been tip-top this year. We thank them for adding the enterprise of cheerful co-operation to our entire Third Form. Ill A and III B have followed Elizabeth Wilson ' s year at Sherborne School in Eng- land with keen interest. It will not be long before we are welcoming her home again, for next year she will join our ranks in Fourth. Cheerio readers, and welcome to the challenge of another year!

IVA The year ' s at the Spring, and a song ' s in our hearts; Every girl in the class has been doing her part. Judy Lovering, as President, kept us in place, And Jackie extorted the money with grace. A spectacle varied, amusing for all, Presented the story of dear Branksome Hall. In our play, The School Spirit , things past, and to be. Were made present, as part of our grand Jubilee. Our basketball team played with spirit and zest ; We passed, and we shot, with applause from the rest. We don ' t like to boast — but we think we ' re just grand, And why we were beaten, we can ' t understand. We had cokes out of goblets at Miss MacNeill ' s tea, And our vows lo reduce in the year ' 5b Were promptly discarded. We ate and we ate, And now we are really a Fourt?i Form of weight ! The Junior Matric, as we know, is all bunk — What happens if all of us happen to flunk ? But we won ' t ! We ' re all set for a clear passage through. And to you. Miss MacNeill, all our thanks will be due ! Form Officers President Judy Lovermg Vice-President - - Ann Farmer Secretary-Treasurer Jackie Oldham IVB This year ours was a cosmopolitan class, including girls from such divers points as Jamaica and West Africa. Our sports programme was a very long one; we played basketball and volleyball in the inter-form and inter-clan competi- tions. During the autumn term, IVB success- fully produced its class play, In Doubt About Daisy , which was directed by Carol Simons. The cast included Norma Guttormsson, Linda Mumford, Ruth Ann Mellish, Sandy Maxwell, Rosemary Telford, Dianne Mayhew. We were very happy, in the winter term, to welcome our contemporaries from the Laurel School in Cleveland. The American girls visited many of our classes; and we felt that, in a small way, we were foster- ing pleasant international relations. Many thanks to Miss Craig, our form teacher, for her unsparing help through- out the year. Form Officers President - Ruth Anne Mellish Vice-President Norma Guttormsson Secretary-Treasurer Sandra Maxwell To make a complete report on the activ- ities of the Fifth Form of Jubilee Year would require more space than the Slogan editors allow us ; so that we shall attempt to give only a brief account. First came the Form picnic at the Farm, as usual a happy event of the autumn term. Then sports began in earnest with the basketball season. J ' ifth Form was ably represented on the First Team by Jubilee Number, 1953 Page thirty-five Jean Wahlroth (captain), Lorraine Kaneb, Susie Marshall, Daphne Turpel, Mary Lou Rennicks, Janet Howard and Wendy Rogers. Diana Sparks, Joy Logie, and Lee McGillivray played on the Second Team. Wendy Simpson captained VA basket- ball, with Jennifer Findlay, Betty Powell, Babs Thomson, Marilyn McClaskey, Mary Bradshaw, June Binnie, Merilyn Rieger, and Jane Lucas as team-mates. These players defeated the VB team, but fell in the next game to the invincible IIIA. In volleyball, the VB team played very well indeed, to win the inter-form match. Turning from athletics to dramatics, we must mention the V Form play, Sense and Sensibility which was presented to a most enthusiastic audience. A full ac- count will be found in the Activities columns of the Slogan . Mrs. Moody and Barbara very kindly opened their house to us for a form party in March. The girls and their partners danced in the recreation room, which was gaily decorated in honour of Saint Pat rick ' s Day. Television, as usual, drew a large number of the guests, and the card game played by Miss Phillips and Miss Edmison attracted a number of spectators. On the following Monday the library hummed with news of the party, which was a highlight of the year, thanks to Mrs. Moody and Barbara. Our sincere appreciation goes to Miss Phillips and Miss Edmison, our form teachers, and to the officers of the two classes. Form Officers President (VA) _ Jane Lucas Vice-President — . Vera Jory Secretary-Treasurer Betty Pov ell President (VB) Myrne Harris Vice-President Marjorie McBride Secretary-Treasurer Barbara Moody Here we are at the end of a very event- ful year. V Commercial and V Arts will soon be leaving to become Canada ' s best secretaries, artists, homemakers and in- terior decorators, while the members of IV Arts have one more year in which to achieve these goals. The girls of II Arts, that small but important class, have a longer time in v hich to continue to con- tribute to the school activities, and to de- cide upon careers. Basketball was the main sports interest during the autumn term, with a combma- tion team of V Arts and V Commercial players taking the honours from IIIA. IV Arts was not so successful in its game against IV B, but the team put up a good fight. II Arts also joined in the competi- tions. In the winter term volleyball, badmin- ton, bowling and swimming filled the after- school hours. Another high-light of the winter was the V Arts class party at Ann Birdsall ' s house. Peace, IT ' S Wonderful was the title and also the theme of the play produced by II Arts, and enjoyed by an enthusiastic Branksomite audience. The cast included Julie Jarvis, Judy Moff att, Roma McWhirter, Penny Sharp, and Sandra Sharpe. The work of Mrs. Partridge, Mrs. Perry, and Miss Callbeck has been much appreci- ated by their respective forms, V Com- mercial, V Arts, and IV Arts. II Arts would like to thank their Form Teacher, Mrs. Harris to whom they owe so much, and also her successor. Miss Living- ston who so patiently coached the play. In closing, all four forms thank their efficient officers, listed here, for guiding them through a happy and successful year.

All the years that have gone before were good, too, and have established our faith in our school. When I first entered Branksome, I was impressed with the friendliness existmg between First Formers and Fifth Formers. There was no great distinction between the two. This is an. attitude which we of the graduating class feel is most important, and it is our wish that this happy relationship will always con- tinue at Branksome. Our school has a great deal to offer us, but this is not evident until we, as in- dividuals, put something of ourselves in- to it. Participation in the life of Branksome has meant much to us who are graduat- ing, as we know it will to you who remain. We pass on to you, therefore, the tradi- tions of the school, knowing that you will assume responsibility for their safe keeping. The Branksome Slogan Man for himself takes earthly praise ; He builds huge temples thus to prove his might, Ci ' eates things strange and awful to the sight. And credits to himself all perfect ways. Great boasts and battles, blunders and despair, All these are truly man ' s. Yet what knows he Of how to silver-tinge a storm-tossed sea Or cool with sudden breeze the hazy air? These things of beauty, Lord, to Thee belong, With selfless love, and honour, joy and peace. Thine is the promise, To make all wars to cease . Thine is the gift of friendship, true and strong. To Thee, then, go our thanks for fifty years Of chance to learn and prove ourselves to be Worthy; to strive in this land, fair and free, And struggle onward to surmount our fears. Let not achievements past distort our view ; Let new gains add to those already won — Let still the chorus swell Up, and on ! Let still our aims be honest, just and true. —ELIZABETH THOMSON , Form V. Jubilee Number, 1953 Page thirty-seven Page thirty-eight The Branksome Slogan Jubilee Number, 1953 Page thirty-nine Page forty The Branksome Slogan On the evening of the twelfth of Janu- ary, the Branksome Hall house girls sat around candle-lit tables talking quietly. There was an air of anticipation in the rustle of dinner dresses and girlish con- versation. Then a hush fell over the gym- nasium as the strains of the bagpipes were heard. Led by Piper Major Fraser the staff and guests walked in. The girls were anxious to see the guest of honour, Miss Diana Reader-Harris, Headmistress of the Sherborne School for Girls. All the guests were seated at the head table on which were two enormous candlesticks. The haggis was held aloft by Jean Wahl- roth (in full regalia) and piped twice around the room. Mr. Justice McKay ad- dressed the haggis. At the conclusion of the dinner. Miss Read proposed a toast to the Queen and then to Miss Reader-Harris. In her reply. Miss Reader-Harris brought greetings from Sherborne and from Branksome Hall in Scotland. She pi-esented to Miss Read an old edition of Scott ' s work, which includes The Lay of the Last Min- strel. On the fly leaf the Duke of Buc- cleuch (Branksome Hall) had inscribed a message. His grace had also sent a letter to Miss Read with the book. The guests then withdrew to the drawing room, while .ae girls (whom Miss Read described as the best furniture movers ) prepared the gymnasium for dancing. The guests then re-appeared for an exhibition by the school ' s Scottish dancing team. The girls danced to the delight of the guests. Then everyone who wished joined in the reels to the jubilant notes of the bagpipes. Everyone enjoyed the evening and I am sure that many returned home vowing to brush up on their Burns. ' J c . iZcctci Sc o ai (Mt Last year ' s Slog an carried an account of the visit paid by twenty Branksome girls to the Laurel School in Cleveland, O ' hio. This year, on February twentieth, a group of Branksomites waited eagerly in Union Station to welcome twenty Laurel girls who were returning the visit. The girls were accompanied by Miss Tomlin, who had visited the School two years before with another Laurel group. With this event, three exciting days began for Branksome pupils. On Friday, Miss Read gave a delightful luncheon at Number 16 for the visitors and the senior boarders. Afterward, classes continued. Laurel girls flocking into Brank- some classrooms with their hostesses Later there was a tour of the city follow- Jubilee Number, 1953 ed by a dinner party, basketball, swim- ming, and a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. On Saturday, day girls entertained the visitors until four o ' clock, when hostesses and guests left to spend an evening at the farm. On Sunday, church services, luncheon, a delightful tea given by Mrs. Rogers and Wendy, and evening service in the Com- mon Room completed a marvellous week end for everyone. We hope that this pleasant and valuable custom of exchanging visits with girls of another school and of another country will become a tradition at Branksome. We consider it a great honour in this Jubilee Year to announce the publication of the book, God ' s Plan and Man ' s Des- tiny by Viola M. Cameron, one of our Old Girls (1922-1924). This has been most favourably reviewed in both the press of the United States and also of Canada. One reviewer states: I have read this book by Miss Cameron with great pleaure and great profit. She calls it ' A digest of the Bible . . . from Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained. ' It contains 164 pages of clear, succinct writ- ing that covers the great doctrines of the Christian faith in a manner that cannot fail to help and bless every reader . . . Into this volume the author has compress- ed a great deal of thought and reading upon the most profound themes that con- cern, or should concern, every thinking man and woman. . . Read in conjunction with the Bible it would provide a course of theological training enriching to any life and could not fail to exercise a stabilizing force on the human mind in these disquieting and uncertain days. Page forty-one On behalf of the whole school, tthe editors would like to congratulate the Junior Choir on their success in the Ki- wanis Music Festival. First place, with a mark of 86, is not easily obtained in this competition. The Senior School had an opportunity to hear the choir sing their test piece, Here Amid the Shady Woods , by Handel, in the festival in March. It is with great pride and pleasure that we publish the Adjudicator ' s Report. Kiwanis Music Festival Association 195 Yonge Street, Toronto GIRLS ' CHORUS— Grades V to VIII Adjudicator ' s Report Here we had sensitive, eloquent phras- ing, shaped and given substance.

Ad- judicator — G. H. Heath-Gracie. Marks 86. Page forty-two The Branksome Slogan On December 14th, 1952, our annual Carol Service was held in St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church. This service, always impressive, became this year a service of thanksgiving to God for His Goodness to our school during the past fifty years. With the magnificent tones of the organ echoing in our ears, we all resolved to make this service the best that Brank- some had ever had. The first part of the service in which the Junior School took part, consisted of carols sung by three gi ' oups of young pupils — Grades six to eight, Grades one to five, and the Junior Choir. One of the carols in the group sung by Grades six to eight was The Piping Shepherd , a sweet story of a shepherd lad at Christmas many years ago. The girls from Grades one to five, full of confidence, yet notice- ably reverent, told us of Mary ' s Song at the Manger. The Junior Choir sang the old English Carol Past Three o ' clock and the first section concluded with the congregational hymn, O Come, All Ye Faithful. For the second part of the service, the Senior School sang The Christmas Rose , a cantata written by Thomas Dunhill. This beautiful work portrayed the Christmas story from the visit of The Angel Gabriel to the Pvide with the Magi. The Senior Choir was responsible for most of the singing, while different sections of the school joined in with them. When the lights had been dimmed after the beauti- ful chorale, Beside the Manger, the Tableau unfolded at the foot of the chan- cel revealing Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jeius, surrounded by angels, while be- fore them knelt the shepherds and the Wise Men. This was a most inspiring scene, which was followed by a brilliant chorus ending in Alleluia! With the singing of Angels from the Realms of Glory , the Carol Service came to an end. We wish to express our most sincere thanks to Mrs. Coutts and Mrs. Perry, without whose patient leadership the Carol Service could never have been a success. I am sure that all of the present girls will always remember Branksome ' s Jubilee Carol Service. Fifth Form ' s presentation of Jane Austen ' s Sense and Sensibility was given on the evening of November 14, 1952. The nineteenth century setting of cos- tumes and customs ; the great variety of characters in the play, from romantic to prosaic and from dramatic to comic; the general feeling that everyone was there to have a good time, and the earnest de- Jubilee Number, 1953 Page forty-three sire of the cast and directors to make the play a success, all combined to make one of the happiest evenings spent at the school. None of the budding actresses had dared hope that the play would be so enthusiastically received by the audience, who booed the villain and villainess and suffered the agonies of hopeless love with the heroines. From VA and VB sincere thanks are given to the form teachers, Miss Phillips and Miss Edmison, who each spent many extra hours working with the cast and play committees. Without their advice, prompting and encouragement the play must have failed. Thanks are due also to the hard-working directors, Jennifer Findlay and Diane Murray, and to the play committees.

The party season at Branksome got off to a good start this year with the Hal- lowe ' en Dance held on Friday, October thirty-first. The guests dressed as comic- strip characters, and Daisy Mae, Albert the Alligator and the Katzenjammer kids were all present. Miss Read and the staff presented a hilarious skit, depicting the class of ' 03 at Branksome. (Miss Boyes made a convincing photographer). The fiddles played two barn dances which were enjoyed very much. After dancing the girls trouped down to the dining room for ice cream. A wonderful finish to a won- derful evening ! The Christmas dance was held on Friday evening, December twelfth. Although there was no snow to add to the Christ- mas spirit, the Common Room decorated with pine boughs and gaily lit with Christ- mas trees, provided a wonderful holiday atmosphere. The girls and their guests danced to the music of a four piece or- chestra devoted to Dixieland tunes. At eleven o ' clock supper was served in the dining room and afterwards dancing con- tinued until one o ' clock. Everyone will agree that the Christmas Dance was one of the best yet at Branksome. Miss Read ' s Dance was held on Friday, January twenty-third, in the gymnasium. As this is Jubilee year the gym was dec- orated accordingly. Surprisingly realistic murals exhibiting the Branksome uniform past, present, and future decorated the walls, and there was a reproduction of Branxholme Castle in Scotland, with stone walls, oaken tables, pewter candlesticks and a marvellous tower. Balloons hanging in clusters from the ceiling provided a Page forty-four The Branksome Slogan modern note. The committee had never seen so many balloons in one place before and, after spending several hours inflating them, the members decided that they hoped never again to see so many. Frank Bogart ' s orchestra supplied the music and Pipe Major Fraser played for the Scottish dancing. At eleven o ' clock supper was served by candlelight in the dining room. Miss Read had again given the school a wonderful time and a dance to remember. The graduation dance and the Straw- berry Festival are yet to come on May twenty-second and on May twenty-ninth respectively. Branksome is looking for- ward to two more parties, evenings never to be forgotten. On behalf of the members of the Opheleo, I should like to express gratitude to the girls, their parents, and friends of the School who have made it possible for us to send our annual subscriptions to mis- sions in Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe. Due to the generous response to our appeal for funds, we have also been able to send help to those in Great Britain who suffered so greatly because of the floods. We are grateful that once more we have been able to continue the work car- ried on for so many years at Branksome, and also to aid others who are in need. We hope and feel confident that this work of the Opheleo will always go forward.

Bible study and discussion have formed the main part of our programme and at sev- eral meetings we have had outstanding missionaries as speakers. Some of the highlights of the year were the extra activities — the parties held in different districts of the city where we met fellow members from other Toronto Jubilee Number, 1953 schools, and of course the Fall week-end at I.S.C.F. ' s Camp Norval. To Miss Brien, who has helped us so much with our discussion and Bible study, and to our hard-working President, Mary Lou Rennicks, we owe the success of our work in the past year. The choir this year has provided many enjoyable hours of practice, as well as several successful performances for its seventy members. Accounts of some of the performances are given below. In addition, forty girls from the choir sang at St. Stephen ' s Church on March 1. The programme included Jesus, Joy of Man ' s Desiring , Come, Loyal Hearts , Praise Ye The Lord , and Lift Thine Eyes . On April 17, the Choir will present its third annual concert. The songs will in- clude Oklahoma and The Surrey With The Fringe On Top . We are all very grateful to our choir leader, Mrs. Coutts, and to our officers.

On Friday afternoon, March 27, Grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Junior School sat tensely in the Gymnasium awaiting the beginning of the singing competition which would give to one of them the Junior Champion- ship. Behind them, members of Forms lA IB, IIA and I VArts cast longing looks to- wards the adjudicator who would pick the best of their groups. The adjudicator was Dr. Richard Johnston of the Royal Con- servatory of Music, who immediately won Page forty-five the confidence of all present by his kindly manner and encouraging words. One by one the four Junior classes took their places at the front of the Gymnasium, each group singing two numbers. When Dr. Johnston remarked on their singing, he praised their clear diction, sweet voices and enthusiastic expressions. The highest mark of 85 was awarded to Graae 6, sing- ing The Sleeping Beauty and The Robin ' s Last Will . During the time be- tween the competitions the Junior Choir sang the number which had given them first prize at Kiwanis Festival. Then the Senior competition began. Dr. Johnston praised these groups for their excellent choices of songs and remarked on the attentiveness of each individual to Mrs. Coutts. Form IIA, singing Merry Are the Bells and Aurora , v as award- ed 85 marks. Then Grade 6 and Form IIA sang once again in order to decide the School Championship. This was won by IIA. The afternoon had been a great suc- cess. Mrs. Coutts deserves our most sin- cere thanks. We hope that Dr. Johnston will soon visit us again, for his construc- tive criticism made not only the winners, but also the losers, feel that they had done a good job well. Page iorty-six The Branksome Slogan Basketball As usual, the basketball season was launched with the annual Old Girls Game , preceded by Miss Read ' s dinner for the Old Girls and members of the present First Team. The Old Girls won the game, 25-14 but the present players did not feel so sad when they saw that the winning team included the three previous captains of Branksome ' s First Team. The present First Team was fortunate this year in winning all its games — against Havergal, Moulton, St. Clement ' s, and Bishop Strachan. In addition to the regular schedule, the First and Second Teams played the On- tario Ladies College at Whitby, where they were royally entertained. Several weeks later O.L.C. came to Branksome for a return match. In each event Brank- some had the high score. The First Team is now looking forward to an exhibition game with Upper Can- ada College on their Athletic Night. (We sent them a Rule Book). The Second Team carried out the same schedule as the First, including games with Upper Canada College and the Old Girls. They won all their scheduled games except one, when the Bishop Strachan Team defeated them. Nice playing, gals I The Third and Fourth Teams played well this year and lack only experience. The Third Team lost games to Havergal and Moulton, and won the game against Bishop Strachan. The Fourth Team did not win any games, but gave good com- petition. Better luck next year, teams! The Clan Competition caused a great deal of excitement this year with repre- sentatives of each clan cheering their re- spective teams. MacGregor and Ross played in the finals, MacGregor winning with the score 32-28. IIIA carried off the Form Basketball Cup, defeating VA in the finals. Great interest was shown in basketball this year, and many girls participated in the numerous games. Thank you. Miss Thickett, for a most successful season. Badminton Singles (team) : Barbara Ross, Joy Logie. Doubles (team) : Judy Lovering, Judy Ross, Barbara Graupner, Daphne Tnrpel. Havergal won first place in the inter- school matches, at St. Paul ' s on March 5, and Branksome came in for a close second. The finals of the school badminton championships were played on March 30. Barbara Ross defeated Pam Smith in the singles, and in doubles Joy Logie and Bar- bara Ross defeated Barbara Graupner and Daphne Turpel. Volleyball Volleyball, although a relatively new activity in the school, has had a very popular and successful season. The school team played two exhibition games with Havergal in March, losing its first game, but coming up as victor in the second. Members of the team were: Marcia Kinghorn, Margot Thorburn, Bar- bara Moody, Diana Sparks, Jane Lucas, Mary Lou Rennicks, Jean Wahlroth, Susan Wallace, Betty Powell, Linda Mum- ford and Sandra Maxwell. Great enthusiasm has been shown also in Clan and in class. The school champion- ship was won by the VB team, captained by Barbara Moody. The girls feel that many thanks are Jubilee Number, 1953 Page forty-seven Page forty-eight The Branksome Slogan pi ' OUTDOOR GAMES due their staff advisor, Miss Thickett. Vol- leyball managers this year were Lorraine Kaneb and Marjorie McBride; scorer, Barbara Groupner. Gathering of the Clans At Branksome there is a keen competi- tive spirit especially between the Clans. This was shown at the annual Gathering of the Clans on September 12 on the spa- cious lower field at Readacres, the first games competition between the eight Scottish Clans this year. This year top honours were shared by the Ross and McLean Clans. Miss Read kindly donated a prize to the members of each of these two winning Clans. All the Clans seem to be evenly divided in sports talent so it is anybody ' s guess which one will carry off the standard at the end of the year. Golf On the second Friday in September, the inter-school golf tournament, sponsored by Miss Ada MacKenzie, was held at the Toronto Ladies Golf Club. This year we were given a whole holiday for the tour- nament. Havergal came first, with Branksome finishing just a few strokes behind, St. Clement ' s and Moulton finished third and fourth respectively. The Branksome team consisted of Nor- een Laing (who had the low score of the day), Lynn Pringle, Judy Lovering, Judy Chisholm, Cathy Phin, and Jan Howard. After a very successful and certainly a very enjoyable day of golf, there was afternoon tea in the club house, where prizes were awarded. Swimnning The Jubilee Year has been the best year yet for the Branksome Hall Swimming Team. At the Inter-School Swim Meet held at Bishop Strachan School, Branksome plac- ed second only five and a half points be- hind the winning team. Joan E.ngholm ' s superb diving marked her as the undisputed Senior Diver Champion. Mary Lou Rennicks (Captain) and Jane Morgan helped Joan to make up the Senior representatives. The inter- mediates were Janet Chisolm, Mary Bol- ton, and Jeanne Monier. The Juniors were well represented by Gail Burton, Mary Louise Ireland and Jackie Burroughs. We all thank Miss Karn for her wonderful as- sistance, and the girls for their work. Jubilee Number, 1953 Page forty-nine Cinging Singing has been at the top of the Junior School ' s Ust of activities this year. Many long hours were spent in the Senior gym practising for the Kiwanis Music Fes- tival. We all enjoyed the experience of competing with the other schools and listening to the expert advice given to us by Mr. G. H. Heath-Gracie before he told us that we had won. Just before the Easter holidays there was an inter-class competition in which Grade 6 were the winners with 85 points However these successes were possible only because of Mrs. Coutts ' very able teaching. Special credit should also be given to Mrs. Dowie for the patient way in which she accompanied us. Scottish Dancing Miss Duffus and Miss Lea sacrificed a great deal of time in the second term teach- ing some of the girls in Grades 7 and 8 Scottish dances. A party was held on March twenty-third to end this year ' s Scottish dancing class. It was a great suc- cess and everyone, including several tea- chers, spent a very enjoyable evening do- ing such dances as the Reel of Tulloch and the Highland Schottishe. Gym Throughout the winter term the Junior School has paid special attention to the gym classes. Miss Thickett kindly gave up her Wednesday afternoons to help us learn many new and amazing tricks. In the late afternoon many of the Junior School girls would be found chasing each other around the gym in the new and entertaining game which Miss Thickett called Pirates . This afternoon activity has been enjoyed by many girls from Grade 5 to Grade 8. We thank Miss KINDERGARTEN Thickett very much for the help she has given us. Archery During the first term the archers at Read Acres became very skilled under Miss Karn ' s continuous supervision. A clan competition was held on the lower field of Read Acres in which the Bruce Clan were the winners. Our most accomplish- ed archers this year were Susan Brown, Page fifty The Branksome Slogan Grade 6, Patricia Ireland, Grade 7, and Margaret Benson, Grade 8. Basketball Basketball became a major pastime in the autumn. The team practised con- stantly under Miss Thickett and the play- ers were: Forwards: Gail Burton, Eliza- beth Aylesworth, Nora Stearns and Penny Fauquier. Guards: Margaret Benson, Virginia Gray, Jackie Burroughs, Judy McClaskey, and Jeanie Haines. As usual the team played the other private schools. However, we lost all four games. In the final game great effort was made by all, particularly by our best basket-getters, Gail Burton, and Elizabeth Aylesworth, but to no avail. Let us hope that the Junior Team does better next year. Swimming Although swimming has always been one of Branksome ' s favourite sports, in this Jubilee Year the Junior School has taken a much more active part in the swimming events. The Clan Meet during the first term was won by the Robertson Clan and all clans were well represented by a number of girls. Gail Burton, Mary Ireland and Jackie Burroughs were chosen from the Junior School to take part in the swimming meet at Bishop Strachan School in which Branksome came second. Some of the more ambitious girls went to Miss Karn ' s ornamental swimming classes where they were taught many tricks and strokes. We all appreciate the time and trouble Miss Karn has spent in teaching us to swim. The Ballad of the Oubliette A castle stood upon the hill Magnificent and grand. Its turrets looked upon a rill The clearest in the land. The corridor was long and dim ; Flamed torches on the wall. The corridor, where did it lead ? Why to the banquet hall ! Here dwelt Sir Raymond, lord of all, In Winter and in Fall, With spidery courtiers sliding round At his beck and call. The hill outside was clad in white, Its beauty all but done. The sparkling cloak reflecting rays From Phoebus and the sun. What of Coline, the damsel fair. All dressed in samite white? What of Sir Silber ? Fair was he And Coline ' s own sweet knight. The frowning walls looked down, I said, Upon a sea of white. Here sweet Coline strayed forth alone Into the tender night. The forest harbored many trees With branches arching high; To one of these sped true Coline And someone else drew nigh. Coline sank into Silber ' s arms Wide open were they now. She listened to his gentle words While Silber kissed her brow. Jubilee Number, 1953 Page fifty-one Another figure now drew nigh With stately words, and slow, He made the lovers one in heart, Before he turned to go. Back they went together Their footsteps ringing clear Through the lofty archway; Her face portrayed her fear! The door was standing open That led into the hall; Through this they went together She paused, was that a call ? Beware, oh young and fair one, Beware my mistress dear; Beware of this dark corridor Do not go down there ! ' Tis only a trick of fancy He has not heard at all; And on they went together Down through that fatal hall. The corridor was long and dim With flags upon the floor; The coiTidor, where did it lead ? To the unseen trap-door! —CAROLINE STANLEY PORTER, Grade 7. Page fifty-two The Branksome Slogan JUNIOR CLAN CHIEFTAINS Left to Right- Judy Mclndoo, Judy McClaskey, Virginia Gray. Jubilee Number, 1953 Page fifty-three Page fifty-tour The Branksome Slogan From the Branksome Slogan of 2053 Now that Branksome Hall is celebrat- ing her one hundred and fiftieth anniver- sary, it might be well to look back one hundred years to the Jubilee of 1953. Miss Read suggested that the Jubilee be celebrated for the whole year. This was carried out and it is from her that we have the idea, still practised every fifty years at Branksome. At the beginning of the year trumpets were blown in accord- ance with the Jubilee celebrations outlin- ed in the book of Deuteronomy. That year was an eventful one. Miss Reader-Harri s, who was then principal of the Sherborne School for Girls, visited the school in hon- our of the Jubilee. The books now under glass in the library were presented by Miss Reader-Hams on that occasion. A dinner at the Royal York Hotel caused a flutter among the girls. (The Royal York was an hotel on Front Street. It seems amusing to us but it vv as the largest hotel in the British Empire at that time.) Branksome was also affected by ex- ternal affairs. The crowning of Elizabeth n took place in June of that year and we read that some Branksome girls at- tended the Coronation. The following year Branksome admitted a number of Dutch and British girls following the mass migration after The Flood of Fifty-Three. After her Jubilee Branksome went from strength to strengtli. She was the first school in Canada to have optional flying lessons on the curriculum. These were taken at Malton airport and caused great excitement in 1960 when they were est- ablished. Mary Lou Connolly, a graduate of Branksome, created a minor stir with her Drip-Not Jug, now indispensable to every housewife. Shortly after Molly Jones led the Freedomists to victory, to be- come the first lady Prime Minister, she said in a speech to the school: If I had never had my Branksome education, I could never have done what I did. We could go on in this vein but there are other topics to cover. Suffice it to say that the discoverer of phelegetrium, the author of Jubilee Number, 1953 Page fifty-five Enchantment, the composer of Cana- dian Sonata, and the painter of Yukon Winter were Branksome gi-aduates. What were our ancestors at Branksome like? Perhaps, if we look at conditions and customs in Canada generally, it will give us an idea of Branksome girls. Since this is a feminine school, we will be forgiven for discussing fashions first. In those days women wore what seems to us in- credibly short clothing. The styles were probably attractive enough but not very feminine. Large loose garments made from sheep ' s wool were popular. These terminated at the waist. From the waist down, the girls wore a skirt, which was often straight and tight giving a boyish appearance. The same type of skirt was popular in a sheath dress, which wid- ened at the hips and sometimes narrow- ed at the knees, making the wearer look rather like a violin. In evening dress, women went to the other extreme wearing bouffant skirts held out like a balloon, often with yards of a peculiar material hke cheesecloth. Nobody seems to have thought these fashions odd. Those were the days of motor cars. Helicopters were still stared at. The Jet Express was unknown. The Copter Cab Service was established in Toronto in 1980 and the Jet Express between major cities of Canada from 1978 to 1982. Atomic planes for trans Atlantic flights were introduced in 2000. Stewart Gerald broke the speed of light in 1990. Jet heli- copters, two-way wrist T.V. and many other inventions have occurred since 1953. T.V. has become so familiar since that date that the majority of people do not know that it stands for television. An- other example of this is the universal use of the abbreviation 3-D for Three- Dimensional Movies, which were intro- duced in 1953. Even the abbreviation is only used to distinguish it from home movies. Have we progressed since those days? Have we justified the hope our ancestors had in us? Again it might be best to ex- amine Canada and the world before we look at Branksome. About 1950, a book by George Oi-well, Nineteen Eighty-Four was published. His speculations are very interesting, Page fifty-six The Branksome Slogan particularly in the light of 2053. He saw the world of 1984 governed by commun- ism. It was a miserable picture. The world was in three great political divisions all under the most horrible tyranny. This was typical of one school of thought at the time. Another was that the world was getting better and better, man would conquer, man would bring peace, man would make the world a better place (an oft-quoted platitude) forgetting that the cause of the evil they planned to ex- terminate was none other than man. We have not eliminated war, the world is not living in harmony, people are not all looking to God for gaiidance, but neith- er is the world ruled by Orwell ' s Big- Brother. Has Canada progressed? She is the second greatest country in the world in position, population and area. Her scient- ists and artists are the world ' s foremost. So are her criminals. Her politicians still say Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking . . . there is something to be said for both sides . . . inclosing I would like to . . . (and continue for half an hour.) At Branksome, we are proud of our scholastic and athletic record, and I think we are proud of the girls she turns out. But her pupils still say, Do we have to know this for the exam? If Latin is a dead language why . . .? Why is she telling us that, when it ' s not in the book? We laugh at the Branksomites of 1953, at their idea of speed, clo thes and inventions, but in spite of the fact that the Jet Express has broken the speed of light, in spite of the Renewed Look of 2000, in spite of our automatic air con- ditioning, we are not very different. Have we progressed ? That is a question to be answered by the next generation. EDITH THOMSON, V. Studio in Twilight A narrow pane vouchsafes a meagre ray To light the sculptor ' s skilful sinuous hands ; His back is labour bent; and white, the sands Of time lie on his shaggy brow. The clay Takes life from him, desirous to obey: Formed from the Formless, by the brain ' s commands. The graceful figure grows. Who under- stands The joy the aged master ' s eyes betray? When, once, the Elder Artist fashioned man From formless clay, and the strange symmetry Of stars, did He, then, when the world began. Know pride of craftsmanship, and thus decree That those who share the toil of his Plan Shall share in the Creator ' s ecstacy? PATPJCIA FULFORD, Form IV. The Woodland Soon we see the signs of Spring, Soon the robins will return, The rivers now will louder sing, Green will touch each leaf and fern. Soon the golden sands will burn And the Summer sun ride high, For woodland paths I then will yearn And a shady spot to lie. C. C. Jubilee Number, 1953 Dear Muse I thought I ' d try my hand at verse, But found each kind grew more perverse; Odes, sonnets, epics, Umericks, The whole poetic bag of tricks (Not to speak of rhyme and scansion) Were far beyond my comprehension. Rhyme schemes with their a b c b ' s All gave me the heeby-jeebies . Shakespeare, Browning and the rest Have had the gift of anapest ; The bard who wrote arma virumque Could wield a mean dactyl or trochque. But I say, of guys like Pope, — let Them keep their rhyming couplet. At odes and elegaic stanzas. Gray and Keats have better chances. I think, of me and Edward Lear, Old Eddy has the better steer. And what the hex-a-meter for. When guys like Nash, who know the score. While disregarding rhymes and rhythms, Can send us into paroxysms. Since writing verse just gets my go-at I feel I ' ll never make a poet. MOLLY HEWITT, Form IV. The Most Trying Part of the Day 7 :00 There goes that waking bell. Some stagger out of bed. Some say they didn ' t hear it, (I ' m sure they really did.) 7:25 There goes another one, A warning it is said, A warning for another bell Clanging througn your head. You think you ' d better (if you can), Get up and start to dress, But now where is my kilt, my tie. My blouse — Oh, What a mess ! Page fifty-seven 7:40 You ' re just getting ready And about to do your hair, And then, Oh ! No ! another bell, I don ' t know how they dare. You fumble and you grumble As you take out all the pins, And the curling hasn ' t worked at all. To add to all your sins. 7:45 Your room-mates have all left you. And have started on their walk. When — that bell was last warning. You ' ve had it — and a mark. The prefect, she comes rushing With her pencil and her list. You stand in fear, and trembling As she shakes at you her fist. You vow that you never again Will fall the way you fell As you know it doesn ' t pay you To DISOBEY THAT BELL. JENNIFER WARRINGTON, Form V Arts. Page fifty-eight The Branksome Slogan ' ' THAT ZOOi.ofi.y frpffi f Jubilee Number, 1953 Page fifty-nine Page sixty The Branksome Slogan Jubilee Number, 1953 Page sixty-one One of the outstanding events of the Jubilee Year was the dinner party given by Miss Read for Miss Reader Harris on January twelfth, at the school. Miss Reader Harris flew out from England during the Christmas holidays to bring greetings and congratulations from Sherborne School to Branksome. It was truly a Scottish affair complete with haggis. Led by the piper the head table guests marched into the gym, where the dinner was held. The haggis was addressed by Mr. Justice Mackay and pricked by his skene dhu. After the toast to the Queen speeches were in order. Miss Reader Harris brought with her a copy of Scott ' s poems sent to Miss Read by the Duke of Beccleuch, the owner of the original Brank- some Hall in Scotland. On behalf of Sherborne its Principal presented two handsome volumes Dorset and Mediaeval Sherborne to Branksome. They have an honoured place in the school library. A reception was also given for Miss Reader Harris, Friday, January ninth, in order to give her many friends in Toronto the opportunity of meeting her. Her visit was much appreciated by us all and we trust the strong tie between Sherborne and Branksome will never be broken. A number of Old Girls have written the School lately, among others Bessie Storey Cole who is domiciled in Chicago, Con- stance Cravd ' ord Brown who tells us that her three daughters are mar- ried, all living in Winnipeg and that she has four grandchildren.

Jessica Wynne wrote from Virginia, she was married July 21st, 1951, and is now Mrs. Frank W. Wilson. Mar- jorie Hazel wood sent a fine batch of news from Victoria, B.C. She tells us that Helen Baird has retired from library work in Minneapolis and that she and her sister, Marjorie, are living together. The lat- ter, who is a Victorian Order nurse is doing a fine job, she has started night classes for young husbands teaching them how to help with the babies. Sybil Knee- land Martin the best dressed woman in town spends most of her time in Victoria where her daughter, Nancy, who is mar- ried, lives. Jean McWilliams Kilgour and her family of three children are in British Columbia ' s capital as is Gladys Brock Martin. Marjorie Hazelwood is with the Department of Health and Welfare, she is liaison officer between Civil Reference Headquarters (Federal) and the Health Department (Provincial). Alison King Wooster, Vancouver, reports that she has a son at the University of British Columbia and another who will enter in the autumn. She also has a younger daughter. She and Virginia Lefurgy Lampman see each other often. Kathleen Deacon Hofmeyr air mailed us from the Transvaal, South Africa, she likes living in that part of the world.
