YEAR BOOK, 1956 Page 25 lA FORM REPORT This is the story of lA, Its members never in a shambles — The things they do, the games they play, Their many tricks and gambols. Their pride and joy is basketball, Which they do play with zest ; Arrayed in striped py jama-top, And woolen undervest. One day with several other forms They to the farm did go ; To have a picnic on the grass. For yet there was no snow. Then followed shortly Ramabai, To which they heartily gave. To help the mission far away. Their pennies they did save. One Monday morn they came to school With faces bright and clean, To see a lintel be unveiled Upon the Branksome green. Their play they did produce with zest. And it was lots of fun ; Each actress was a great success, For ' twas a job well done. But now they have no time to waste. For May is drawing near ; Since the exams are coming soon, Each heart is struck with fear. Mrs. Atkins was our teacher. And although we ' re pretty rough, She really tried to help us. And succeeded, though ' twas tough. In June we ' ll part for three whole months Of solid rest and play ; But then before we ' ve turned around, ' It ' s school again today . IB FORM REPORT Miss Boyes is the teacher Of our wonderful class. Martha is our President All others to surpass. There are others in our room Who famous figures try to be. Adele holds great office too, That of Vice-Presidency. Heather ' s little task is next. Money is her friend. To her it must be fun because Collections never end. So there you have the Honour Roll, Of a class which is working hard. Its conscientious members Who are never caught off guard. The middle class is next in line. The girls without high ranks. Without them we would have no fun. They ' re excellent at pranks. We have a little group of nine, They must have fun, ' tis true. ' Cause in the mornings after prayers. We hear of what they do. Math and grammar, French and comp; History ' s not too dull. Subjects such as these named here, Make days so very full. Last but not least is our Basket- ball Team, The pride of all I-B. We did not win much in the fall, But now we will, you ' ll see!
