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.
