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.
