26 The Branksome Slogan fall at the form picnic, an occasion anticipated with great enthusiasm. The presentation of A Ghostly Evening , under the direction of Nancy Foggo, followed soon afterward. The cast included Janet Chisholm, Jane Morgan, Judy de la Vergne, and Mary Lou Cosser. IVA can be called a sporting crew; since, for the second consecutive year, the inter-form basketball championship fell to them. Mary Bolton, Joan Burgess, Nancy Foggo, Marjorie Kay, Carrie Ann Matheson, Janice McBride, Sue Savage, and Pat Shannon formed the victorious team. Two form members who attained the mighty First School Team were Janet Chisholm and Jane Morgan. Congratulation to Jane for bringing home the victor ' s ribbon in senior style! The form has also made its mark in other sports. Joan Burgess and Heather Fraser made the senior and intermedi- ate badminton teams respectively. IVA proved its proficiency at outdoor sports as well on the Flesherton week end, when the form was well represented. Turning to another sphere of achievement, we congratulate Janet Ward on winning an award in the United Nations Speech Contest. IVA feels its own special pride in her accomplishment. Last and most important of all is our appreciation of Miss MacNeill, our form teacher, who has with unwavering patience guided us through this most enjoyable year. IVB This year in IVB, our first venture was the class play. As usual, we found ourselves in a hectic last-minute rush, but when the curtain went up, The Hitch-hiker proved to be a hit. Thanks are due the competent cast which included Sue Strickland, Margot Thompson, Margaret Wiltshire, Nancy Forte, Pat Davidson, Gill Allan, Pam Hill, Joan Felton, Jane Saunders, and Norma Dellow. The director was Marg. Bennett. In our sports competitions we have had fun indeed, but we regret to say that we fell a little below the mark. We were defeated in basketball and in volley ball — defeated in scores but not in sportsmanship, for our team co-operation is something we are very proud of. In a social way we have had fun, too. During the winter term Mrs. Hill and Pam were gracious hostesses to the girls of IVB at a delightful tea. Such parties make pleasant memories for a long time to come. Many thanks to our form teacher. Miss Craig, for seeing us safely through the year. If any of us should win laurels this year, we are confident that it will be because of her faithful help. ARTS AND COMMERCIAL FORMS Another busy year has drawn to a close. Those of the Matric. Forms who say, The girls of the Arts and Commercial never seem to do much work , should be fully aware of their mistake. We may not seem to work too hard, yet, behind the scenes we have plenty to do. To the busy commercial world will soon be added several more

IIIB also proved itself not without talent in dramatics. Our knees were knocking, our teeth were chattering on the night of March twelfth when we presented our form play, The Bobby Sox Brigade . Managed by Lois Wilson, and directed by Jane Patterson and Alan Hudson, the play was much appreciated by a large audience. The cast consisted of these girls: Bea Johns, Dorothy Boyd, Maureen Bullock, Ruth Walmsley, Joan Young, Gail Stephens, and Judy Ross. They did a wonderful piece of work and we should like to congratulate them. No record of the year would be complete without mention of the form party held at Penny Dobson ' s house just before the Christmas holidays. Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Dobson and Penny for a wonderful evening ! Our sincere and special thanks are due Miss Miller for helping to make this our best year yet.
