28 The Branksome Slogan efficient secretaries. In the world of fashion, new styles will be launched by budding designers after graduation in June. The year has flown by quickly and we shall stop a moment to review it. The main sport of the fall term was basketball as usual. V Arts and V Commercial were quite overrun by IVB. Though the score was over- whelming, we had fun playing. IV Arts played very well, winning a victory over IVB. Those who played on the IV Arts team were: Diane Watson (captain), Julie Jarvis, Joan Somers, Jane Magee, Dorothy Sproule and Jocelyn Hare. The winter sports also had their place in the year ' s activities. Then, several girls could be seen dashing from the IV Arts classroom, swimming caps in hand. During February, the Swimming Team, with Jody Engholm of V Arts as captain, ran a close second in the Inter-School Meet. The Bowling Team won another victory for Branksome with Eve King as captain. Many thanks. Eve ! Something new in the air! Jane Hethrington and Barbara Hunt will represent Branksome in the Consumer ' s Gas Homemaker Contest and if they win, will receive new sewing machines. These two may have gained a cooking title by the time the Slogan goes to press. If there had been a contest for the best hostess, we are sure Mrs. Perry would have placed first. V Arts says ' Thank you, Mrs. Perry for the wonderful party. Having enjoyed the II Arts production of ' ' Among Us Girls, the whole school is looking forward to the Arts Fashion Show. From V Commercial, V Arts, IV Arts, and II Arts, our sincere appre- ciation goes to our form teachers, Mrs. Partridge, Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Wright and Miss Livingston, who have certainly helped to make this year a good one. FIFTH FORM September seventh was a happy day, For we returned the Branksome way ; We greeted friends, both new and old And happy tales of summer told. Head Girl Molly made her debut, Along with her very efficient crew. Green kilts in Fifth are seldom seen; This year ' s Prefects are really keen. Back in the halls where we returned There still were many things to be learned Euripides, Themistocles, the Peloponnesian War, X2, Y2, and H2SO4.

The Branksome Slogan 29 Though VB may lack scholastic ability, In basketball they played with agility. Graupner and Laing were a pair quite unbeatable, And Telford ' s long reach made the team undef eatable. December fifteenth was awaited with glee, For that ' s when the Fourth and Fifth Dance was to be. The girls were decked out in their finest array. To welcome their escorts, both charming and gay. Till the end we reserve the best event ; To all in the class invitations were sent, For it is a party all Fifth Form enjoys The tea that was given at Gracie Langlois ' . And now our form teachers loudly we cheer For making this a successful year Misses Edmison, Phillips, our thanks go to you. We ' ll always be grateful, and loyal, and true! The Coronation Broadcast A loud blast on a boat horn. A group of girls shouting at a little distance: Bye Mom ! Bye Dad ! I expect a letter in Edinburgh. Give John my love. Bye Janie, give everyone my best. Remember me to all. Don ' t forget to write often. Girl 1 : Mom, catch my corsage and please press it. Small English boy: Won ' t you take some of these streamers? They ' re on the house, you know. Girl 2 : Oh, isn ' t this fun. Here, look, if you flick your wrist like this you can get the streamers to stretch from the deck to the dock. Girl 1 : Look at those two tiny little tugs puffing away in front of us. They ' ll never be able to move this ship. But hey! We ' re pulling away. Now we ' re on our own . . . — pause — Music: Road to the Isles. Announcer: They are off. A group of enthusiastic youth from all over Canada. Some feel rather strange at being on their own for the first time, others are acting experienced and unconcerned, yet feeling a slight tug at the heart for three thousand miles is a long distance to be from home.
