How long ago that was nobody knows, but ever since the creation of man, singing has been one of our most delightful experiences. From the earliest days of ' ' Jubal who was the father of all such as handle the harp and the organ there have been many musical instruments. Our loveliest songs of praise also have come to us from many years ago, and we can, therefore, join with those of olden times in singing praises to God on High, and as we also sing those beautiful hymns of praise which have been composed by our finest poets down through the ages and are still being composed if we sing them with our whole heart our praises come, we are told, ' ' before the golden altar of God and are accepted by Him with the incense before His Throne . That is our greatest privilege in life. That is singing at its highest and its best. At Branksome we have made many improvements in our school so that we believe our equipment is most satisfactory in every way, but equipment is decidedly second in importance. It is the needs of the spirit that must come first and so in the year 1954 1955 we are exceedingly proud of the great step forward we have taken in our singing, and although every girl at Branksome has had some part in that step forward, we feel especially grateful to our Senior and Junior Choirs, and to Mrs. Coutts who trained them, for winning both the Junior and Senior Shields presented each year by the Kiwanis Club, so that during the coming year we shall have a Kiwanis Shield hanging in our Junior School and also one in our Senior School. Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary : praise him in the firmanent of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts : praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet : praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance : praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. Page 6 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Editorial Branksome girls, this is your Slogan! Not the efforts of one person, but the enthusiastic spirit of many has made this magazine a reality. Since our teachers aim to encourage in us leadership and ultimately a sense of self-confidence with which to face our future, we thank them for the guidance given in this compilation of the events of the school year. We thank everyone who has contributed to our Slogan. We are proud of the ardour everywhere present in our Branksome halls — we mean not only in team work in our gymnasium, but in the loyalty which exists between our students and staff. Equipped, we believe, as no other generation has yet been, we are living in an age that will be famous in history. This year all members of the British Empire and Commonwealth proudly saluted Sir Winston Churchill on his eightieth birthday. As Branksome has always considered herself a small unit within a vast empire, we, too, salute this eminent figure. What finer traits can the idealist attempt to emulate than those found in the great statesman of our day? — To our rising generation is given the opportunity of setting democratic examples of tolerance and understanding. Let us then, as girls of Branksome, meet our challenge, base it on knowledge, and accept it as a trust. Through the enrollment of Moulton students in our school, Branksome has added to its strength, forging, we hope, stronger bonds of friendship. We have learned that, despite different approaches, the goal of girlhood is to live amicably with one another. Let us go forth, whether to a higher form, a different school, or the work-a-day world, with a clearness of vision, an esteem for the opinion of others, discrimination, and an enlivened intellect. If you cannot lead, be wise and choose to follow a good leader. Upward, onward, forward, girls of 1955 — have pride in your school, yourself, your country, and finally in the world in which you are living.

Page 12 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Head Girl ' s Message It is with deep regret and sor- rowful hearts that those of us in the graduating class say farewell to Branksome Hall, the school we have learned to love so well. Not unti l this final year have v e realized how much the school has done for us. In return we hope that each one of us has contributed to Branksome something, however small, which will enhance its repu- tation and traditions. To you whom we leave behind, we offer this advice. Enter into every part of school life in that spirit of which Branksome is so proud. It is only by working hard and playing hard for your school that you will gain something from it. Remem- ber that the honour and privilege of belonging to Branksome carry with them the responsibility of living up to the school ' s ideals of Truth, Honesty, Justice and Purity. If you bear this responsibility you will be as proud as we are to become Old Girls of Branksome Hall. Keep well the road, and ms y God bless you. THE INSTALLATION OF PREFECTS The Installation of Prefects took place on October 8th, 1954, in Rose- dale United Church. The parents and friends of every girl were invited to attend the ceremony, and old and new girls alike were thrilled by the sight of the clan tartans : the yellow of the McLeod, the red of the Scotts, Rosses and MacGregors, and the green of the Campbells, Douglases, McLeans and Mac Alpines. The service itself was short, beginning with Miss Read ' s introductory remarks on the traditions and aims of the school, and continuing with the address of the guest speaker, Dr. MacMurray, Principal of the University of Toronto School. The Prefects and Sub-prefects were then installed, and receiving the school flag Avas the Head Girl, aware of her responsibilities and confident of the support of the school. After the School Prayer, the service closed with the ceremonial march out of the church. Once again the traditions of Branksome had been handed down to those who, with their indomitable school spirit, form the nucleus of the school. YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 13 SECOND INSTALLATION OF PREFECTS On February 2nd, a second Installation of Prefects was held in the gymnasium. Two new Prefects and three Sub-prefects, who had been chosen because of their outstanding work for the school since the beginning of the term, were appointed. We were fortunate in having as our speaker Mrs. Van Every, a former Head Girl, who told us about life at Branksome in her school days. From the heartiness of the applause, we know that the entire school enjoyed her speech and appreciated her coming. The officers appointed on October 8th and February 2nd will look back on these installations as two memorable occasions among the happy times they have enjoyed at Branksome.

Her air is meek, her eyes so brown ; She ' s loved and petted — fed so well ! Our small student leaves this year, Matriculation is her aim. The future calls to Marky dear, We all feel sure she ' ll win us fame. And so it is with heartfelt grief We say So Long for a little while To a mascot who, for a time so brief, Sat so loyal in our classroom aisle. Page 22 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 23 FORM lA REPORT On September eight, 1954, Our class, lA, was seen at our door; With Martha as President, Donna as Vice, The rest of the class were as quiet as mice. First came our picnic, at the school farm. Where we caused our teachers distress and alarm; Singing and laughing we went on our way, And tired we were at the end of the day. In October when leaves are off every tree. We played basketball with our rivals IVB ; The game was terrific, and spirits were high, We lost by one point, oh how we did sigh ! When Ramabai came, the weeks when we give To children in India to help them to live ; Each girl in lA gave all she could spare, And we were the first to turn in our share. And then came the season of singing good cheer, And everyone knew that Christmas was near ; Our form had a party to bid our farewell. And say to each person a Joyeux Noel. ' The Soft-Hearted Ghost was our form ' s next endeavour, I am sure you ' ll admit we were all very clever; Lynn and Isolde were there to direct us, And the rest of the school came in to inspect us. And now you have read a report written here, Of all our activities throughout the year; Mrs. Atkins who taught us all year in lA, Now truly deserves a long holiday. CLASS IB In September, back to school ; Where IB class could meet ; We each trooped in with a happy smile, And quickly chose a seat. We hadn ' t been there long, I ' m sure, When prefects were employed: And then our picnic at the farm W hich was certainly enjoyed. Page 24 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN We chose a zebra mascot; As cute as he could be. His name was Zeberauchie Because he was striped, you see. And then was basketball begun; When every girl had lots of fun. Then later as the days flew by, The game was badminton. The next event for IB class Was putting on a play: We all joined in, had lots of fun, On this important day. But all good things must have an end ; As so the saying goes : In IB class ' case it was — The final exams arose. Then soon the day for leaving came : Some happy and some sad ; But when the names who passed were read, I ' m sure they all were glad. And so the 55 IB Was surely a happy year ; And we extend to our Miss Boyes, A hail and hearty cheer. IIA CLASS HISTORY When we came back to school this fall We did not want to come at all ; Our minds were full of summer joys, Of swimming and diving, of fun and noise. We organized a basketball team Who were ALMOST always on the beam. Coached by Marg Benson, who took great pains And led by such players as Joynt and Haines. To the semi-finals at last we came, But VA outplayed us ; a very close game. And right in the middle of all this fun Another treat came for everyone. One day in September we climbed on a bus And went to the farm, a whole group of us ; YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 25 We had loads of fun exploring the trails But soon from us all there arose dismal wails Because all too soon it was time to go home, And back to the buses we started to roam. We arrived back at Branksome, happy and hot, It took many weeks ' ere that trip was forgot. Then came that ' ' horror , the Christmas exams Which all of us passed according to plans. Next came the holidays, happy and gay But before very long we were back in IIA Struggling with tests which were piled to the skies And talking of essays — and — ' ' Who ' ll win the prize? Nine girls from IIA in the choir did sing To win at the festival ; marvellous thing. Then came our play, The Ghost of the Show Three cheers for the cast, who with talent did glow. Thanks for directing the play, Jackie B. Thank you for making the audience cry Whee, This is the best, the most wonderful play ! It must be produced by the girls of IIA ! Thanks are in order to president Anne, To our V.P. Joan Henson, to our treasurer Dianne, For helping to make this a wonderful year ; A barrel of fun for each one of us here. A special salute to Miss Murdoch, our teacher Who taught us our Eiatin without being a preacher. And now we ' ve cheered everyone, there ' s just this to say, THREE CHEERS AND GOOD LUCK FOR THE GIRLS OF IIA. IIB FORM REPORT The first of the year at Branksome Hall HB spent their time playing basketball; The game against VB was really a doozer , But we, unfortunately were the loser. And then as a welcome diversion — Off to the farm for our picnic excursion; Winter came, bringing lots of snow, — Armed with our skis away we go ! Archibald became famous in our play And many times he saved the day. Frances, our secretary, collected for Lent And to a hospital in India it went. Other activities — Swimming, bowling, and choir, To them all, our class does aspire. Ingrid did her house donate YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 27 For our class to celebrate. Everyone agrees — Miss McFetridge is grand, Who came to us from Ireland Now as the year finally ends, We say good-bye to our IIB friends. A DAY IN II ARTS (With Apologies to Sir Walter Scott) The day had begun at Branksome Hall And Two Arts had gone to their classroom small That room that was guarded by Sue and Marline And also Louise, their President keen. No living soul save the teachers alone Would dare to cross the threshold .stone. The room was disordered; t ' w- .s idlesse all Cathy and Carole were in tho hall While Sally and Chris and PJna Hills Sat with Arlene on th iivJow .Mils Great Pyramus, who ' ich many a moan Lay stretched upon the dusty floor, Heard Thisbe wail and sadly groan While Penny delightedly cried for more. Pat and Markie those boarders true Had hung their coats in bold Buccleuch. The only one late who had not heard the bell Came sauntering in. Who else but Michelle? Now why do they suddenly jump to their feet? Now why do they try to make everything neat? Empty the basket! Clean up the floor! Who ' s done her homework? Who ' s on the door? Witliin a few minutes the classroom is clean And not a trace of disorder is seen. The reason is simple for there with a grin Miss Livingston stands and the lessons begin. IIIA— THE DESERTED CLASS (with apologies to Mr. Goldsmith) Ah, HIA! greatest class in all the school, Where fun and laughter always are the rule, Where in the Autumn to the farm we rode. And picnicked in the woods beside a toad HIA, progressive class of students bright. Seat of basketball champs and sports of might. We now have joined the ranks of seniors true, Page 28 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN We feel grown up. New things they ' ll let us do! Best treat of all, asked to the formal dance Where young hearts thrilled to African romance. To Cleveland seven reps we proudly packed, They all had fun e ' en though much sleep they lacked. February saw our Thespian charms displayed And only the audience was dismayed. Remember Pavlova and Pily Lons, Liberace, George and the minstrel songs? And now this hectic year is ebbing fast. Our frantic study for exams is past. And so quite soon the fatal marks will tell If all was CHAOS, (Please take note Miss L) We now recall our mirth at each new thing: Pat ' s food from cafe, Sandy ' s dieting, Pooh ' s deep, deep voice, Lizz ' s changing hair Our jokes which helped to make this year most rare. We thank Miss Claxton for help and advice, Through all of the year she has been so nice. We also thank our class officers three; Mary Breck our Pres. and Vice, Judy D. Sheila Harvie our Secretary true Completed the trio that led us through Our third form year, but it lessened the pain To say, Yes, Dahling, the classroom ' s in Main. CATHY CLARK IIIB FORM REPORT The year began so early and fast. Before we knew it the summer had passed. The girls with their kilts so neat and so pretty. United at Branksome from town and from city. The very first thing was the Gathering of Clans , Most girls took part while others were fans. The banners were placed on the field wide and long, And the members were busy composing their song. Activity centered ' round pool and ' round court, And homework was left to join in the sport, Clan basketball, swimming, and volleyball too. Our thanks to Miss Bate — we owe it to you. For the following weeks we wore no grin, Each one of us grew pale and thin. Exams had caused us all to groan. And study our books all night at home. YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 29 Then the dance set us in a daze, It seemed to us a pale pink haze, ' ' Africa made us walk on the air, For this we even curled our hair. ' Elmer and the Soprano was our play, Lines w ere learned without delay. It all went over rather well Thanks Lisa, you really rang the bell. Our Treasurer and our President, Are collecting all the money for Lent ; The rest of the girls have all chipped in, To make the best through thick and thin. Graduation soon will be here. And we ' ll look back on another year. With thanks to our form teacher, Mrs. Hughes, Whom we shall be very sorry to lose. IVA FORM REPORT IVA assembled back in September, Happily welcoming each new member. When Miss MacNeill we greeted with cheers, We renewed the friendships of former years. The new girls were welcomed on probation ; Quite all right , was our final summation. Next our form officers we did elect, And Sue her money began to collect. Forms four and five then invaded the farm ; Our drivers viewed the rain with alarm. The buses are stuck, let ' s all give a heave We wondered if we would ever leave. Basketball we practiced at dawn each day, Victory was worth it , we were able to say. We planned our play ; Hazel stole the scene ; A damp ' ning effect — see what we mean? We tried to ignore the exams that intruded. With minds quite blank, o ' er our papers we brooded. Page 30 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 31 The Christmas dance was a happy affair, And greatly enjoyed by all who were there. But all too soon the holidays ended And back to school our way we wended. The January dance on a wintry night Took us to Africa — what a delight. We practiced Footloose and Fancy Free And this time produced it for all to see. Some skipped school with official permission, To take Branksome to Laurel was their mission. At a Model U.N. we di d have fun, Our life-long interest has just begun. The Strawberry Festival, yet to come. Will provide berries, at least for some. June exams will then haunt our dreams ; But the year ' s just started ! or so it seems. No, the year ' s over — Junior Grads are we ; Tomorrow we ' ll be serving tea. To Miss MacNeill here ' s a vote of thanks ; May she recover from all our pranks. At the garden party we say farewell; We ' ve but one more year in these halls to dwell. THE IVB FORM REPORT Legite ! Legite ! What before you you see. For this is the story of IVB. (This is a tale known by few Except the authors, and Miss Craig too!) Alan Hudson (not very bright). Planned our play for Hurricane Night. ' Hazel came rocketing through on that day. And . . . PFFFT . . . there went our play ! Page 32 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Later on in fifty-five, Pass the cigars — the play arrived ! An Apple For Teacher was applauded by all, And we returned for a curtain-call. Bonjour mes eleves , dit Madame Perry, Notre classes de francais are fun — oh, very! H2O and SO4, Please Miss Claxton, — not anymore ! In October, we had our annual outing, Got off the bus, singing and shouting. And despite the rain and the showers Enjoyed four very happy hours. Bounce , Pivot , Shoot , Dribble , (Adverse remarks are considered libel!) So, three cheers! three cheers! for our basketball team, With Gill as captain, ' twas on the beam. Susie was Prexy, Sally V.P., And Gill was the Treasurer of IVB. Cake, ice-cream, chuckles and grins — We had our party at Ca thy Phin ' s. And here ' s where we save the best for the last. To next year ' s IBers, this message is passed — Regard Miss Craig as your helper and friend, For you will discover, before the year ' s end. That in encouragement, kindness, she does excel. THANK YOU Miss Craig ; you stood by us well. IV ARTS There is a classroom in Buccleuch; Four Arts by name and we ' re proud of it, too It is a very interesting class With a favourite subject for every lass. Cooking and sewing for the domestic few ; With typing, shorthand, and handicrafts too. To the Art Gallery we can often go ; And we also put on a Fashion Show. Thanks, Mrs. Wright and President Anne, For us they do all they possibly can. Betty and Bev are next on the list, And they our President do assist. YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 33 Although we ' re gay and noisy too Really at heart we ' re a serious crew. The term is almost gone, but never fear. We ' ll all be back the following year. V FORM REPORT Several years ago to Branksome we came And since, of course, we ' ve gained some fame. For Branksomites, in the true sense of the word, To praise our school we have never demurred. For French we ' ve learned under teachers ' guide We even know that ' ' dehors means ' ' outside . Latin, chemistry, and especially math Have often crossed our learning path. But studies, of course, don ' t count at all When there is fun to be had at basketball ; And who cares a fig for studying Darwin When we ' ve a pool in which to swim in ? A sporting crowd always at Clan Meets and such With excitement and zeal, we ' ve enjoyed them so much. But most of all what has us impressed Is school spirit that makes Branksome THE BEST ! So how proudly we ' ve worn the kilt and tie And now we grieve to wave you good-bye. To our form teachers a tribute be paid — One full of gratitude, truthfully made. Miss Phillips, Miss Edmison, for all you ' ve done To make this last year a happy one. Finally, leaving these halls on our way. We add — Up and On, Branksome, to a future day ! V ARTS FORM REPORT To those who wonder what we V Arts do A slight explanation will give you a clue. A wide choice of subjects develops our minds And after our course, good jobs we find. We study of artists who ' ve achieved great fame ; Their lives, their works, and what they became. Over from Buccleuch we trot to Home Ec, Back from Sherborne to Interior Dec. There ' s sewing, music, typing and more ; All of them different, and none is a bore. Our sport this year was basketball, Page 34 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN From September right through the fall. After Easter always comes great fun. Study? We think we ' ve time for none. First comes the Fashion Show, then the Grad Dance When we work, the Junior Gym to enhance. The class of V Arts has been small this year, But the term has ended with much good cheer. Thanks to Mrs. Perry, our kind form teacher. Who has made of Art our biggest feature. V COMMERCIAL Ten potential stenographers did Haunt Mrs. Partridge until she hid From questions pertaining to shorthand and such, By girls who never could learn too much. Dorothy, our President, has kept us in tow, As Roma, our Treasurer, was on the go. Filling in as Vice has been Wendy Brunton ; Providing the fun was Library Rep. Duggan. Our dancing ' s been taught by our good friend Vicky And we all tried hard, because it was tricky. Many different careers are ahead for all. Now the times ' come to say: ' ' Farewell, Branksome Hall. ' LORD WEMYSS VISITS BRANKSOME On December 1, 1954, the school was highly honoured by a visit from Lord Wemyss, twelfth Earl of Wemyss, eighth Earl of March, who was on a cross-country tour of Canada, appealing for funds for the Scottish Na- tional Trust. This association, which is kept in operation solely by dona- tions, assumes responsibility for historic houses and sites in Scotland. Tours are arranged and conducted by the Scottish Trust at specified hours. Since so many of Canada ' s people are of Scottish origin and he, himself is a baronet of Nova Scotia, Lord Wemyss felt that this country would be an excellent source of donations for his purpose. During a two-day stay in Toronto, the earl very kindly paid a brief visit to Branksome. In the early afternoon we assembled in the Gymna- sium, where Miss Read and the Head Girl officially welcomed our visitor. Lord Wemyss addressed the school, telling us how much he was enjoying his tour. One aspect of our people that impressed him was their loyalty not only to Canada, but also to the country of their origin. Lord Wemyss quoted those of Scottish background as an example, and Branksome in particular with its Scottish traditions and customs. He extended best wishes to all in Canada, closing with the words, ' ' Canada and Scotland — ' Keep well the road ' YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 35 Signatures of Distinguished Visitors it ( Page 36 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 1 — Fun at the Farm. 2 — Fun at -Iho Farnn. 3 — B.H.S. vs. Buffalo Seminary. 4 — Happy Birthday. 5 — After the Play. 6 — The Phone Booth. YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 37 THE CAROL SERVICE On December 12th, 1954, our annual Carol Service was held in St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church, and once again we sincerelj wish to thank Mrs. Coutts and Mrs. Perry for their patient and untiring efforts in the preparations for this event. The first part of the service consisted of ' ' Carols by Canadian Com- posers , sung by the Junior School, and their sweet young voices were exquisite, almost ethereal. Part two, ' ' Carols Old and New , was sung by the Junior and Senior Choirs. A Christmas Hymn sung by the former, reverberated through the sanctuary like the echoing of bells. Two unaccompanied selections, Jesu, Thous the Virgin-Born and The Sans Day Carol , sung by the Senior Choir, had organ-like quality, sending melody cascading to every part of the church. Part three, Carols of Modern British Composers , was sung by the Senior School while the Christmas Story was effectively depicted in tableau. As the mighty chords of the organ sounded that glorious carol, Hark ! the Herald Angels Sing , the Recessional began. While the entire school filed out of the church in a dignified manner, all felt that this was the most impressive Christmas Service we had ever held. As silence fell on old St. Andrew ' s Church, we all fervently hoped that peace on earth, good will towards men indeed would be a reality in the new year. THE CHRISTMAS DINNER PARTY On December 15th, Miss Read gave a Christmas dinner for the boarders. Feasting by candlelight, in an atmosphere bright with gay dresses and traditional decorations, both staff and girls felt that the holidays had already arrived. After dinner there were toasts to the Queen, to Miss Read and the staff, Prefects and Sub-prefects. Then the staff and the Fifth Form were invited to the drawing room for coffee. The boarders enjoyed the evening to the utmost, and on their behalf we should like to thank Miss Read for a delightful party, and Mrs. Waters for planning the delicious dinner. OPHELEO REPORT On behalf of the members of the Opheleo Society, I should like to thank you of Branksome for your co-operation in our work this year. The response has been wonderful, and we are especially grateful for the efforts of the Junior School. Page 38 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN We have sent donations to the Ramabai Mukti Mission in India, our Branksome Hall Bed in the Hospital at Ludihiana, Missions in Africa, Student work in Europe and South America, also the underprivileged at Christmas time and those whose homes were ravaged by Hurricane Hazel. It is heartwarming to know that Branksome is ready and willing to support generously these, and other, worthy causes, and we trust that this spirit will continue in the years to come.

The meetings consisted mainly of Bible discussions from which many benefited. We enjoyed having such speakers as Miss Scholfield, who hails from Sherborne, England and Mr. Fulton, Toronto ISCF staff member. On January 25, we were very glad to welcome as our speaker Miss Corrie Ten YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page S9 Boom who has been a world missionary. We were thrilled with the interest of the group as shown by the large attendance. This was a meeting never to be forgotten. By the time this reaches the press, the Good Friday Conference as well as the Spring Conference for the city wide ISCFers, will be over. But now, we are looking forward to such events, knowing that there will be much in store for those who attend them. In closing, the members of ISCF with the executive wish to extend their sincere thanks to Miss Duguid for the wonderful way in which she has led the group to greater heights. A challenge is ours, as we face a new school year. • BETA KAPPA REPORT On Friday, October 29th, our season opened with the annual mas- querade at which Nursery Rhyme characters cavorted and square-danced with abandon. Pumpkins, witches, and scarecrows helped to provide the traditional Hallowe ' en atmosphere. The staff entertained us with a lively and highly amusing skit wliich was followed by a ' Tashion Show offering ' ' helpful hints on what the well-dressed teen-ager should wear. Refresh- ments were served in the diningroom and Miss Read presented numerous prizes to the winners, bringing to a close the 1954 masquerade. Our second activity was the Christmas Dance for Fourth and Fifth forms held in the Common Room on Friday, December 3rd. Festive decora- tions of evergreen trees, boughs, snowmen, and wreaths were appropriate for the season. This was an evening we shall never forget. January 14th was the evening of Miss Read ' s Dance. The gym was transformed into an African jungle with life-sized paintings of palmtrees, exotic birds, natives, and tropical animals. A map of Africa provided a back drop for Frank Bogarde ' s orchestra, and through a hut which dis- guised the entrance could be seen the gaily coloured letters spelling the theme, ' ' Skokiaan . Supper was served at eleven-thirty in the diningroom, and then the girls and their escorts resumed their dancing until one o ' clock when a very enjoyable evening was brought to a close. Still to come is our Graduation Dance for the graduating classes and the Strawberry Festival for the girls from Grade Eight to Fourth Form. We are looking forward to these, our last dances of the year, with great expectation and we know that they will all be wonderful successes. THE CHOIR REPORT FOR 1954-55 Again, for the fifth year under the patient guidance of Mrs. Coutts, the Senior Choir has brought honours to Branksome. The group of sixty- five girls began a busy year by practising Christmas carols for the school Carol Service to be held on December fifteenth. Together with the Junior Choir, it performed the second part of the Christmas programme, ' ' Carols, Old and New . About two weeks later, fifteen choir girls helped the Home for Incurables stage a Christmas pageant by singing behind the scenes. Tage 40 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Our next big event was on February twenty-third, when we entered the Kiwanis Festival for the first time and came first, competing against Loretto College. Mr. John Churchill, our adjudicator, praised Mrs. Coutts highly and told us how lucky we were to have her as our choir leader, — with which we all agreed most heartily. We sang ' ' Where ' er You Walk and ' ' Song of Shadows . As a reward for our efforts, we were given permission to have choir pins for the first time. Two events still to take place are our annual visit to St. Stephen ' s Church and our Spring Festival of Song, which is to be presented on April twenty-ninth. We could not end this report without giving many thanks to Miss Palmer, our accompaniest, and to the Choir Executive — President — Sue Strathy. Vice-President — Jane Arnott. Secretary- Treasurer — Marjorie Wyllie. Committee — Pam Kerr, Gerry Damon, Linda Stearns, Ann Moore, Jane Watson. This typical Branksomite needs help in the early morning. Will you please help her find her tie, kilv pin, comb, shoes, mittens, book, tooth brush, watch, scarf, St. Andrew ' s cap, pet fish? YEAR BOOK, 1955 Fage 41 RADIO BROADCASTS Owing to a late start we have had only three broadcasts. The first was a Christmas story, ' ' Small Miracle for Cora , with Jane Morgan as the narrator. The cast included Margot Thompson, Mary Bolton, Jane Arnott, Louise Coffey, Jackie Davies, Anna Jean McLeod, and Nancy Foggo. The next consisted of the portions of ' ' Alice in Wonderland concern- ing the Caterpillar, Frog, and the Mad Tea Party. Nancy Foggo played the Caterpillar, Laura MacFadden the Frog, Janice McBride the March Hare, Margaret Wiltshire the Mad Hatter, and Elizabeth Hall the Dormousev Alice was portrayed by Pat Davidson, and others in the cast included Pam Hill, Maxine McCuaig, and Diana Watson. The third was a highly dramatic play called The Monkey ' s Paw , by W. W. Jacobs. The cast included Janet Chisholm, Mary- Parsons, Margaret Hale, Kitty Rowat, and Marjorie Kay. We are planning several more broadcasts, and hope that they will be as successful as the others. SCOTTISH DANCING WITH ST. ANDREW ' S COLLEGE On Friday, February 4th, two buses, filled with Branksome girls, arrived in a swirl at the Granite Club, where they had been invited for an evening of Scottish dancing with boys from St. Andrew ' s College. The Branksomites were ushered into a small reception room to meet tneir partners for the evening, who looked very smart in their highland dress. Soon they moved onto the dance floor, where the girls awaited rather - nervously their turn to demonstrate the reels and other dances. But first there were toasts to the Queen, and to the school, and there was an exciting moment when the haggis was piped into the room. Triumphantly the Headn)aster of St. Andrews ' performed the traditional ceremony, and- R. S. M. Jameson gave the official address. Now Branksome ' s moment had come to demonstrate the Scottish dancing, but much to the girl ' s relief their hosts joined them and the dances were most successful as a joint effort. Unfortunately time passed much too quickly — what seemed to be one hour turned out to be three. Reluctantly the guests left, and were gallantly escorted to Sherborne House in the St. Andrew ' s bus. GIFTS TO BRANKSOME Those lovely curtains we have noticed in the Senior Gyrnnasium were donated by Miss Annabel Auld, (who gave the originals in 1924), and Miss Stella Fleming Mackenzie. We are very proud of them, and shall remember the kindness of the donors throughout the years tc come. The Junior School was also very fortunate in receiving new curtains for its gym, and these were presented by the well-known interior decorator, Mrs. Sybil Croll Halliwell. Thank you for extending your generosity to Branksome. Page 42 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE CLEVELAND CAPER ' ' Girls, would you like to go to Cleveland to visit Laurel School? asked Miss MacNeill. Naturally the response in favour of the trip was over- whelming and unanimous. Those of us from fortunate Third and Fourth Forms chosen to go with Miss Sime, Miss Bate and Jane Morgan left on Thursday, February third at ten o ' clock in the evening. Seething with anticipation we enjoyed our train journey, arriving in Cleveland in the morning in time to have breakfast at the lovely Laurel School. We at once proudly donned our school uniforms and the unique style of the Branksome blouse and kilt combination quite intrigued our sister schoolmates of Laurel. Our hostesses appeared and with them we visited the various classes. Friday evening, a Junior-Senior dinner was held in our honour followed by a fashion show in the auditorium. On Saturday morning we were free to see points of interest in Cleve- land and to shop for the prized American souvenirs. In the afternoon we were contestants in a basketball game with the Laurel pupils — the rules consisted of an assortment of American and Canadian rules. Relay races followed this rather unusual game, and then Miss Lake, the Principal of Laurel, gave us tea. It was at a jolly hen party Saturday evening that we really relaxed and became the pals and cronies of our hostesses. On Sunday, church was the order of the day and in the afternoon we again toured the great city. We were entertained at a buffet-supper by Miss Lake in the evening. Later Charles King, a well known Negro singer, gave us a delightful hour of music. Afterward we said our good-byes and left for the station, Toronto bound, feeling that the trip had been a com- plete success. Our thanks are due Miss Sime and Miss Bate, for their help and companionship which so added to the spirit of the trip. Miss Lake, her staff, and the students of Laurel School through their hospitality have cemented once more the friendship between the United States and Canada. Let us do our part to see that the friendship is con- tinued. PUBLIC SPEAKING Congratulations are due to Jennifer Campbell, who, through her speech on U.N.E.S.C.O. Gift Coupons, won a week-end trip to New York. This, incidentally, is the second consecutive year a Branksome student has been a winner in the United Nations contest. Turning to another branch of oratory, we congratulate three Brank- somites who entered the Ontario Verse Speaking Contest to win honours for our school. Cathy Clark, our only entrant in the lyric section, tied for second place with a mark of 89, and will compete in the finals on April 11th at Museum Theatre. Both Sue Strickland and Mary Daniell-Jenkins, with niarks of 84 and 85, did very well with their dramatic pieces and placed just below the first three contestants.— Good work, girls! YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 43 BASKETBALL From the first day of the term until the snow fell, the basketball courts were jammed with players both experienced and inexperi- enced. Within the first two weeks of September, under the capable leadership of Miss Bate, the five school teams were chosen and our Games ' Captain, Janet Chisholm, was elected. Immediately strenuous practice was begun. The Senior School Teams con- sisted of the following: 1. Janet Chisholm (Capt.), Jackie Davies, Jane Arnott, Janny Love- ring, Jane Morgan, Ann Lloyd, Margot Thompson, Janice McBride. 2. Joan Burgess (Capt.), Carol Hooey, Diane Watson, Barbara Clark, Pat Shannon, Alice Scott, Mary Parsons, Sue Strathy. 3. Jane Watson (Capt.), Eliza- beth Aylesworth, Joan Sanderson, Gail Burton, Joyce Sanderson, Margot Dunn, Ruth Walmsley, Pam Carr. 4. Kathy Aylesworth (Capt.), Anne Moore, Regena Russel, Jackie Burroughs, Marg Benson, Joan Henson, Nora Sterns, Debbie Cuthbert. The Basketball season opened with the Old Girls-New Girls game, FIRST BASKETBALL TEAM 1. Captain — Janet Chisholm. 2. Left to right — Jane Morgan. Jacqueline Davies, Ann Lloyd, Jane Arnott. Janice McBride, Janis Lovering, Margot Thompson. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN in which the Old Girls lived up to their previous high record of achievement, defeating the New Girls 47-40. Altogether, there were fourteen Inter-School matches played, of which Branksome won the astound- ing total of six, and tied two games. When the First Team played its most exciting game against Bishop Strachan, the teams were evenly matched. Tension mounted to feverish pitch, and after much puffing, gasping, falling and shout- ing, the score ended at 20 points for each team. One of the most spectacular games was played by the Second Team at Branksome against Haver- gal. Branksome won 28-12 after a very close fight. The Third and Fourth Teams were victorious against St. Clem- ents; the Third Team tied 18-18 with Havergal, but was defeated by Bishop Strachan. Congratulations, School Teams! For about four weeks before Christmas, the gymnasium was filled to capacity every morning, noon and night. The whole school dreamed, ate, slept, talked basket- ball. Everyone was headed for the basketball court. IIA showed a re- markable enthusiasm by producing not one team, not two teams, but believe it or not, three teams ! The tournament progressed with VA and IVA leading into the finals. IVA emerged victorious with a score 16-12. Keep up the good work, IVA! YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 45 BASKETBALL GAME Staff vs. First Team Extra— Extra— Staff plays Students This is what was heard two weeks before the fateful evening of April 1 when over one hundred and fifty girls turned out to see the great match of ' brains versus brawn . The slightly dubious pyjama-clad staff stood aghast as they got their first glimpse of eight ferocious sailors — namely, the First Team. After welcoming the staff with a typical sailors ' song, bribing the referee, and placing bets — the for- malities were over and the game began. Taking a slight advantage, the staff penalized the First Team by making them carry two books in one hand throughout the entire game. At this point we should like to say how sorry we are about the few fouls that were called on the first team due to a disrespectful attitude towards the teachers . However, the game continued with teachers going to the ' penalty box and fouls being called on the girls for many conveniently forgotten reasons. Jane Arnott picked up a suitcase and was slyly making her way down the court when the whistle blew and the ' ' Professional Ref- eree , Joan Burgess, called her for travelling. Miss Duguid, world-renowned for her famous hook shot, scored the majority of the baskets for the Staff. At the end of the game, the referee had a little trouble deciding who had won, but after a few threats remembered very quickly, The score , she announced, is 25 for the staff, and 2514 for the first team. Following this, four teams were formea, composed of staff and students, to compete in relay races. Miss Phillips, with a team com- posed of VA students, laid aside trigonometry and geometry for a few minutes to win the race. The climax of the entire evening was the race which Miss Read and Jane Morgan won together. While singing For She ' s A Jolly Good Fellow ' the girls expressed their love and appreciation for the finest principal in the world. What a wonderful evening, and what a wonderful Staff ! TENNIS Although tennis has just started for this term, there is a long list of keen players lined up already to try for the school team. Tennis is a very popular sport at Branksome. In fact, it is a very popular sport anywhere, and judging by the talk around the school now, it promises to be a well-discussed, well-played, well-made sport for next term. ARCHERY Nor can we forget archery. Archery holds a special fascination of its own that is only discovered on trying it. To arch successfully requires a steady hand and a care- ful eye, not to mention a careful sense of direction ! Archery is held at Readacres, the perfect spot, with lots of room to hit or miss! Page 46 THE BRANKSOME SEOGAN YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 47 BADMINTON ' ' Girls, I should like to see you all out at badminton today. I shall be giving instruction to those who want it. This encouragement given to us by Miss Ware has made badminton such a success this year. On March 10th, Branksome played hostess at the Inter-School Badminton Tournament held at St. Paul ' s Church. The chief officials were Tass Tory and Anna Jean McLeod. To them and the many referees and linesmen we give our thanks. St. Clements, Havergal, Bishop Strachan, St. Mildred ' s, or Branksome — who would win? The honour went to Havergal (with twelve points) who won all their games. Branksome ran a close second with nine points. The Branksome teams were : Senior: Jackie Davies, Margot Thompson. Intermediate : Ingrid Meenan, Judy Ross. Junior: Judy Walder, Marg Benson. Congratulations to Jackie Davies, Judy Ross, Ingrid Meenan and Marg Benson for their fine playing in the Ontario Provincial Cham- pionships ! For next year let our badminton motto be ' ' Sportmanship and Victory ! BOWLING During the winter term, many Branksomites enjoyed the advant- ages of the St. Paul ' s bowling alleys. On March 10th, at the same time as the Badminton matches, we were engaged in the Inter-School Bowling Meet, competing against players from Havergal, St. Clem- ents, St. Mildred ' s, and Bishop Strachan. Due to the superb play- ing of a worthy team, Branksome came first in bowling for the second consecutive year. Congratulations to Claudia Steeves and Ena Hills who made top scores of 232 and 224. Too, a vote of thanks is due to our untir- ing scorekeeper, Alice Scott. VOLLEYBALL Not for many years have the girls from Branksome entered into volleyball with such enthusiasm. For every game the gymnasium was packed with excited spectators and players, cheering their teams and hoping for victory. Some of the best volleyball was played by the First and Second Forms this year, although in the final round, VA emerged victorious. The clan volleyball matches were equally good and equally close. In the final round McLean and Mc- Leod were very closely matched for skill and spirit. Finally, with a good serve and a loud cheer, Mc- Lean won the game, thus winning the Clan Tournament. We would like to thank all those who showed their fine class and clan spirit this year by entering into the volleyball matches with that certain sportsmanship that gives purpose to all the school activities. Tage 48 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN CLAN EVENTS On September 17th, the Gather- ing of the Clans was held. The bright banners of Scott, McGregor, Campbell, McLeod, Douglas, Ross, McAlpine, and McLean, followed by loyal clan members, paraded to Readacres to start the Games. Each year, this event has a special significance at Branksome for this is the first time the clans come together in competition. The spirit always runs high as eager, proud clan members seek to cap- ture the highest honours and a large delicious cake. This year Mc- Lean came first. A hungry, tired but very happy clan split the cake, with each member receiving a huge piece. Second and third prizes went to the Rosses and Mc Alpines. They enjoyed a carton of cakes. The next event was the Swim- ming Meet. All those who came to watch or to participate, crowded into the Pool, eager to do their best. Amid deafening roars of en- couragement, the races started. The McLeans once again emerged on top in the final scores, with Douglas and Campbell following close behind. The seven other clans were starting to worry about the McLean Clan now, and so, in the next event, the Basketball Tourna- ment, MacAlpine defeated McLean by one point. However, the Clans were still a bit worried about the McLeans, therefore in the Posture Contest, Campbell and Ross proved that they were the straightest walkers, and that they did really have the best posture, by tying for first place, followed by McLeod and Scott. GOLF The Golf Team this year was composed of: Mary Jane Bickle (Capt.), Barb Bunston, Diane Robinson, Judy Jenkins, Cathy Phin, Alan Hudson. Although Branksome was not too successful at the Inter-School Tournament held at Thornhill Ladies ' Club, all the players had a wonderful time. The final results were: Bishop Strachan, first; Havergal, second ; Branksome, third. Sports to Come: Baseball and Track and Field Very soon pitchers will begin to wind up, batters to slug, and cap- tains to choose teams for the base- ball clan and class games which are played in the lower grounds of Readacres. We hear tell via that buzzing Branksome grapevine that the school this year has many po- tential stars. We also have a word of warning concerning a certain IIA form: Watch out—! They may be dangerous ! In close competition with base- ball are sports of track and field. As soon as the ground dries up a little more over at Readacres the high jumping, broad jumping, hop- skip-jump, and racing begin. Sports Day, held sometime in late May, will be the final track and field event when a Senior, Junior, and Intermediate Champion will be dis- covered. Good Luck to you all! YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 48a SWIMMING REPORT Swimming reached a new peak this year with the commencement of those ' ' early morning wake-up dips for boarders and day girls alike. As well as having several exciting Clan Competitions, many of the students successfully passed the various Life Saving examina- tions. The Swimming Team did excep- tionally well. With Mary Parsons as their able captain, they gained a second place victory at the Inter- school Swimming Meet, surpassed only by B.S.S. Supporting Mary on the Senior Team were Jane Morgan, Jackie Davies, and Ann Lloyd. Gail Burton, Mary Ireland, Jackie Burroughs, and Jeanne Monier made up the Intermediate Team, while Susan Monier, Mary Jull, and Virginia ElHs successfully upheld the Junior Team. Our many thanks to both gym teachers, who contributed so much towards this vear ' s success. SWIMMING TEAM First Row — Mary Parsons (Captain). Second Row, left to right — Jacqueline Davies,.

Page 48h THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN BUFFALO REPORT On Saturday, February 26th, a team from the Buffalo Seminary came to Branksome to play basketball. This visit was one that we had long anticipated, not only because we wanted to play basketball, but also because we realized the importance of a good relationship between the United States and Canada. Thus, in a small way, Branksome and the Seminary were trying to strengthen the bond between their nations. Throughout the three basketball games, a friendly spirit prevailed. In each game half the time was played according to American rules and the other half according to Canadian rules. The First Team game was so close that neither the spectators nor the players could control the mount- ing excitement and amid riotous cheering, the final whistle blew to end the game with a score 32-31 for the ' Sem . The Second Team game was just as fast and furious with both sides showing good steady teamwork and careful shots. The final result was victory for B.H.S. and a score 22-8. Although our regular Third Team was replaced by a ' ' scratch team for this game, and although they lost 20-9, it was a thrill-packed game full of excitement and good will. After basketball, a famished group of girls, hot but happy, marched down to a delicious lunch where Miss Read proposed a toast to our visitors. Their simple but sincere reply was that they were having a wonderful time and happy to be here. Immediately following lunch was a brief tour of Toronto, and after- wards a swim in the Branksome pool. Another quick change, and the time had come for our visitors to leave. It was with real regret that we waved good-bye to a wonderful group of newly-made friends. YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 48c KIWANIS SHIELD won by Junior Choii The Junior Choir The Junior Choir consisting of girls in grades five to eight opened their year by singing Christmas carols at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church on December 12th. Quite soon afterwards, we began practising ' The Pedlars Caravan by W. H. Parry for the Kiwanis Festival. At the festival we com- peted with Havergal College, who sang very well indeed ; however, we won the shield with the top marks of 86. We have won this shield for three consecutive years, entitling us to keep it. All Juniors and especially the members of the choir wish to thank Mrs. Coutts for her invaluable in- struction. Also, we would like to express our appreciation to Mrs. Dowie for playing the piano. To sum up, we feel that we had a very successful year. SINGING With Mrs. Coutts as our capable music teacher, those in the Junior School this year have enjoyed sing- ing to the fullest extent. On March 31st, a Singing Fest- ival during which all the grades competed, was held in the Junior Gym. We were fortunate to have as our adjudicator, Dr. Richard John- son. JUNIOR LIBRARY This year, the Junior School has taken great pride in its library. Two beautiful tables and benches were generously donated by Miss Susan Ross, to whom we wish to express our warmes t thanks. Library week, held from March 14th till March 18th, gave our parents and friends an opportunity to donate more books. To them also, we wish to extend our sincere thanks, and to the librarians and to Miss Howie, who all gave their time so generously to our library. SWIMMING In the Junior School many girls compete in the clan swimming meets throughout the year, and a lucky few take part in the inter- school swimming meet. This year, Virginia Ellis and Susan Monier as members of the Junior team helped Branksome place second in the meet. Page 48d THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN After school, help is given to those girls who wish to pass their Red Cross swimming tests. Too, there is extra instruction in swim- ming, diving and stunts. Each Branksomite ' s ultimate ambition is to compete for the school cham- pionship. The juniors of 1955 have certa ' n- ly appreciated all your help. Miss Bate and Miss Ware. — Thank you. THE CLANS During this school year, there has been keen competition among the three Junior clans. All are anti- cipating with enthusiasm the sports day in May which will reveal the final results of the year. We wish all the luck to the clans and their Chieftains — Patsy Strathy of the Grant, Susie Monier of the Bruce, and Susan Brown of the Robertson — and may the best clan win ! BASKETBALL Basketball was the major sport of the Junior School during the fall months. The team was chosen and coached by Miss Bate, to whom we give our sincere thanks for her great patience, time and advice. Our players were : Forwards — Patsy Strathy, Wendy Thompson (captain), Jill Bethune Williams, and Mary Winnett. Guards: Pam- ela Micklautz, Sheila Morrison, Carole Tovell, and Heather Waldie.

New trials we faced, such as mal de mer Which we managed to conquer with never a care. We were five from Branksome — though not alone. For there was Miss Dunlop, our chaperone. In bonnie Scotland — oh, what a thrill. We saw purple heather on the hill ; Now enthusiasts all of the pipe. We even tried haggis — how did we like ? Now on to England — oh, how to describe The beauty and splendor we there did imbibe ! Two days at Sherborne — what an event ! We ' re certainly glad that there we went. Stratford and plays of immortal Shakespeare ; Now who can but cherish London so dear? Wales with rustic beauty — a charm of her own ; Over those hills we so often did roam. France was tres belle , and there ' s naught to compare To the sidewalk cafes we enjoyed over there. Switzerland too, with her mountains supreme, Oh, Lac Geneve is such a dream ! Our trip to Germany, down the Rhine Enchanted all, though the sun didn ' t shine. Then, over the ocean once again, We landed home on Canada ' s main, With three days only in the fall Before we returned to Branksome Hall ; Now in imagination free Where do we travel in memory ? Nancy to Scotland oft returns, Where else but Dumfries of Robbie Burns? In Exeter, Cynthia, we ' re sure will abide. While Norm ' s to Ireland, out with the tide ; Our Janice longs for gay Paree, And Laura — her birthday in Germany ; Miss Dunlop, of course, with travels galore. Has pictures so lovely to see evermore. So, when someone asks — ' ' Good trip, bye the bye? With a smile, I simply make answer, ' ' Och, aye ! NANCY CAROL FOGGO, VA Page 48h THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN A TOUR OF SHERBORNE SCHOOL The little town of Sherborne is nestled in the kaleidoscopic countryside of Dorset, which is known as Hardy ' s Wessex. This tiny hamlet is noted for two things — its seven-hundred-year-old abbey (with its boys ' Public School) and its leading girls ' school, Sherborne. The school itself consists of eight ivy-covered houses, with such com- plicated names as Aldelmsted East, Elthstan and Alymar. Four hundred and twenty girls attend Sherborne, and of these only nine are day pupils. During our stay, we five Branksome girls continually watched, walked, and listened. Our first stop was the Norman Abbey, where we saw the very organ inaugurated by the consort of Queen Victoria. The old verger kindly gave us the key to the tower and we dizzily staggered up the dusty spiral staircase to the seemingly never-appearing top. Exhausted, we clambered on the roof, but the glorious view made our effort worthwhile. All Dorset seemed to be spread out before us with fields like hundreds of pocket handkerchiefs joined together by humpy green borders. We then toured the school buildings, ending with tea with Miss Reader-Harris. Apologetically the girls asked us to excuse the jumble, since the following day was to be Commemoration, when all handicrafts and classrooms were to be displayed for parents and friends. The highlight of the day would be a cricket match between the First Eleven and the fathers.. A thing which perplexed us was the silence as we passed through the halls, until we were informed that talking was forbidden in the corridors — a magnificent rule which was amazingly well kept. Tea with Miss Diana Reader-Harris was welcomed after our rigorous excursions. English teas are famous the world over. This particular one is something we shall never forget. The table was laden with three varieties of scones, delicious cakes and meringues. Tea w as shortened by the absolute necessity of seeing the final match of the school tennis singles. The calibre of the games was so remarkable that we realized why England had produced Wimbledon. Linesman sat in towering green chairs and tiny juniors were the conscientious ball boys. YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 49 Every well played shot was greeted by cries of Smashing! or ' ' Jolly good! From here we separated to dress for dinner and the play which was to follow. At dinner we sat with the ' ' leavers , girls who would not be returning the following term. House and School notices were read and absolute silence was maintained until the house mistress arrived. That night we thoroughly enjoyed an excellent production of Sheri- dans The Rivals . The performance had a polish that is unusual in school plays. Back in our rooms, we jotted down our impressions of Sherborne in our dog-eared trip books. Whole-heartedly, we agreed that everything was jolly decent . We were impressed by the discipline, the important part the prefects played in the management of the school, the outdoor swimming pool in which pupils were trying tests, although the temperature was a mere fifty, and most of all we appreciated the kindness with which we had been received. Each Sherborne pupil had been an individual ambassador for her school and country ; I hope that we were the same for Branksome and Canada. JANICE McBRIDE, VA. GREEN CATHEDRALS Whene ' er I pass beneath the willow trees And see the pale green tassels all around Me, like a downward smoke, onto the ground. Each trembling in the languid summer breeze, I find one, warm and misty from a shower. Alone, and think I hear its echo call As from the cascade emerald teardrops fall. I pause beneath its arched and leafy bower And listen with a reverence, oh so still. Great, green cathedral with your sunny spire, Do I hear voices from an angel choir. Or is it just the wind beyond the hill? Whene ' er I pause beneath a willow tree And feel its leaves around me, like a wall. And hear its rustling streamers rise and fall, I half imagine that it answers me ; I am a green cathedral to my God. All through the year my branches weep for Him, And choral music sounds from every limb As robin, jay, and bluebird, praise and laud Their blessed Maker. That is what I hear. For ne ' er, except when underneath a tree, Tall sentinel between the sky and me. Does trouble seem so far, and God so near. JANET BONELLIE, VA. Page 50 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE DIFFICULT TYPE Her socks are wrinkled, shoes untied, Her hair, it ' s not to be denied, Could stand some combing ; kilt ' s not pressed , And she ' s supposed to look her best ! Though neat ' most always, needless to say. She looks like this on inspection day ! In class when she ' s questioned, she ' s still as a mouse, But dismissed, with her voice, she can rock Main House ; Come a party, she ' s ready three hours before, Just can ' t wait for that ring or that knock on the door ; But next Monday at school she arrives 9.05, She can ' t be on time, though she struggle and strive ! What to do with this lassie with absence d ' esprit Who ' s caught dashing through halls, and shouting with glee, Who so frequently frequents the Saturday group, Who, when eating at caf , always spills chicken soup. Who streaks up the blackboard it ' s her turn to wipe? Why, nothing — we all love the ' ' difficult type ! Girls! Walk to the Cafeteria! ELIZABETH GRAHAM, IIIA YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 51 SONNET ON THE THEATRE My love is a cube of light canvas and tears, Eternal toil and skill and heartbreak, wrought To bright illusion constant dawn the years Of grey perplexity ; some magic caught In the thread of everyday and trembling there Triumphant. Proud, I ' ll try and strive and know For all the brief and glory I will share With those who choose the bitter way and slow From humbleness and vanity combined, I choose to win the fickle lover fame. And if I fail despite my love to find That end ; that frailly bright and tranquil flame. The ultimate of all my hope and pride, I ' ll die in quiet content to know I ' ve tried. The quiet cat, like some small beast of prey. Creeps the long length of fence that binds the yard ; Peers through the naked windows at the warm And rosy rooms within. Then gives a hard, Quick cry of independence ; hunches down, Drops to the waiting earth, and darts with bold And cunning leaps into the sooty lanes To lurk, in grim contentment, in the cold.

Whether it be a student ' s standing or that of a company, it falls into a rating category. To thousands of Canadian motorists, the B-A man at the corner service station has come to mean Quality. When car owners rate him and the products or services he sells, B-A takes honours. Such a reputation was not gained without effort. Just like a good student, a company which is rated more than just a pass has worked hard for its honors. The British American Oil Company sells Canadian petroleum products and service. B-A 88 and 98 have become Canada ' s top-rated gasolines. In dealer service, B-A takes first class honours. It ' s something to remember when you become one of Canada ' s motorists.

And it ' s not for the sake of a ribboned coat, Or the selfish hope of a season ' s fame. But his Captain ' s hand on his shoulder smote I Play up! play up! and play the game! The sand of the desert is sodden red, — Red with the wreck of a square that broke; — The Gatling ' s jammed and the Colonel dead. And the regiment blind with dust and smoke. The river of death has brimmed his banks, And England ' s far, and Honour a name, ' 3 But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks; Play up! play up! and play the game! This is the word that year by year, While in her place the School is set, Every one of her sons must hear. And none that hears it dare forget. This they all with a joyful mind Bear through life like a torch in flame. And falling fling to the host behind — Play up! play up! and play the game! SIR HENRY NEWBOLT.
