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 !

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.
