CANADA A tiny barren village, carved from the rocky cliffs , A busy ocean harbour with liners, freighters, skiffs; A peaceful sunny meadow crossed by roads of red, A gold expanse of prairies stretching far ahead; A town whose glistening church spire lifts a cross on high, A busy lakehead port whose cranes stand out against the sky , A noisy clanging city, the hub of industry, A town risen unbelievably at oil ' s discovery, And then a frozen wilderness whose perils men relate — Each scene is part of Canada, each makes its country great. LAVINA LICKLEY, Form V.

22 The Branksome Slogan lA Throughout the year lA has had a warm welcome from the Senior School, and has been encouraged to enter many sports and daily events. During the first term we spent a most successful day at the school farm, where we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Later came basketball, the main sport of the fall term, in which lA defeated IB. Our star players were Elizabeth Aylesworth, (captain), Jackie Burroughs, and Gail Burton. During the winter term, lA, hoping to raise the most money for the Lenten Collection, put up a good fight for first place, thanks to Jackie Burroughs, our secretary-treasurer. Next we must mention our form play, ' The Pampered Darling , directed by Margaret Benson. It was a hilarious comedy starring Joan Henson, Gail Burton, Jackie Burroughs, Jeanie Haines and others. We enjoyed the play to the full, and extend our thanks to our form teacher. Miss Phimister, for her patience in helping us. We have also taken part in other activities. The form has been well represented in the Scottish Dancing Class, and many of us may be found in the Apparatus Class on Fridays. So ends the school year 1954, and we assure you that we are all looking forward to future eventful years at Branksome. IB This year IB has been well represented in all school activities. Early in the fall term the whole form enjoyed a picnic at the school farm, where the girls spent a wonderful afternoon hiking over the spacious grounds and through the woods. A basketball match was played against lA early in the first term. Unfortunately IB lost, but it was a very exciting game ; the score — 16-20. The form play was Something to Talk About , starring Judith Mclndoo, Janet MacArthur, Marion Cox, Louise Luke, Marilyn Bolton, Ingrid Style, and Rosemary Marsh. It was ably directed by Catherine Buff am and Frances Wilson. Thanks to the hard work of our Secretary-treasurer, Catherine Buffam, IB did very well in the Lenten collections immediately preceding the Easter holidays. Our patient President is Ingrid Style, who is capably assisted by
