The Branksome Slogan Page 2 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 4 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN EDITORIAL We are Canada. As the youth of this nation you and I have a vital role to play in the future, not only of Canada, but also of the world. When we say am a Canadian , just what does that mean? What is a Cana- dian? What is so important about Canada? For the answer to these questions, let us take a brief look at Canada ' s position in the world to-day. The most obvious aspect of this is that she is a link between the United States and Gr eat Britain; the go-between or glue that may or may not stick the two, now greatest, western powers together. The preservation of this bond is necessary to the future of our way of life and if there is a split the west could be overrun and destroyed. Another factor of importance is Canada ' s tremendous natural re- sources. The age of nuclear fission is upon us and the nation which holds the raw materials controls the production of power which may be used for peace or war. All the leading commercial metals, except tin, are found within Canada ' s borders; she possesses nine-tenths of the known nickel supply of the world and leads in the production of asbestos. Of greatest significance is the presence of the world ' s chief deposit of uranium near the eastern end of Great Bear Lake. Canada is a land of new industry and the education of its youth in the intricacies of science and engineering is imperative. In fact, higher education of all kinds is vital to the future of a nation which, one day, could lead the world. We, the young people of Canada, have been given the facilities to achieve such a standard of learning. Let us make use of them! So there we are; a young nation, playing a big game and holding a big ball. To-day Canada is young, but tomorrow she will have matured and so will we. It is up to you and me to decide upon what sort of a future Canada should have and to work towards that future. We, at Branksome, have already learned the tenets of a prosperous and rewarding future: truth, honesty, justice and purity. Let us build on these cornerstones not only in our personal lives, but also in the life of our country. There are two examples from which we may draw ideas as to our future national character. We may turn to our southern neighbour and become a wealthy nation of big deals, square deals and fair deals, or we may turn to our Mother Country and pattern ourselves after a nation which has lived for a thousand years in understatement, pageantry, tradition and reform. Or, the Canadian may be a blending of the two, learning from the technology of the one and the reserve and moral correctness of the other. As a school we have established links in both directions, but the strongest link reaches out to the older, stabler, proven land that is Britain. To obtain maturity should not youth look more to its Mother for guidance than to its neighbour ? THE EDITOR YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 5 To the Graduating Class of 1957 My Dear Girls: Your days at school are over, although you will continue to learn, I hope, as long as life shall last. We have tried above all to teach you that the only life worth living is the life that lived for others. Our Lord said, I have come that you might have light and have it more abun- dantly , but he did not mean abundant with the things and possessions with which we today are burdened. This Life Eternal is a Life of Quality, rather than a Life of Quan- tity. Our Lord said, Is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment . You have already been given so much, the opportunities which lie before you are endless and a full life is ready for all who will accept the call. The price is heavy be- cause it is all we possess, but remember when life is over all we take with us is what we have given away. May you ever strive to lay up for your- selves treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor dust doth corrupt and you will find that where your treasure is there will your heart be also. God bless you all. Page 6 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN INSTALLATION OF PREFECTS The installation of Prefects is a thrilling ceremony for all those connected with Branksome Hall. It is both a colourful spectacle and an inspiring service for in it are embodied the highest purposes of our school and ultimately of our lives. To a Prefect it is particularly memorable, for it marks the culmina- tion of a vital stage in her career. At least she may wear the red kilt, which she cherishes as a symbol of the many years she has enjoyed at Branksome ; years of working and playing ; of giving and receiving. As she follows the resplendent procession of Sub-Prefects proudly wearing their scarlet bands, of Clan Chieftains bearing their hard-won banners, and of the staff who have made this day possible for her, she is filled with gratitude and a desire to a new, and even more important chapter to the history of her school. During Miss Read ' s speech, in which our principal explains once again the early Scottish traditions of Branksome, and the four principles on which it is founded: truth, honesty, justice and purity, the Prefect realizes more clearly than ever before that these must be the basis for the coming chapter which she will help to write. Finally, her name is called and she mounts the chancel steps to receive Miss Read ' s congratulations. This is the proudest moment of all, for she is now officially installed as a Prefect of Branksome. THE SECOND INSTALLATION It has been a custom of Branksome for several years to hold a second installation of Prefects during the middle term. On January twenty-first, four new Prefects and five Sub-Prefects were installed, and we were proud to welcome them as leaders of the school. THE NEW BUILDING 1956-57 will long be remembered at Branksome. Chief among these memories will be terrazzo floors. Miss Claxton beaming at her fume cup- board, ' ' No admittance signs on the Scott House door, exhausted librari- ans moving books and the Opening Day of the New Building. Seldom has a building been more thoroughly inspected. A passing parade of five hundred students, their parents, and friends left little undiscovered. They noticed the ' ' almost permanent retort stands (they screw out of the desk tops), the sink covers and the oxygenated aquarium in the new labora- tories. In the library they were greeted by the clan standards, school flags, a fine encyclopedia, donated by the graduating class and three beautiful YEAR BOOK, 1957 Paoe 7 lithographs loaned for the opening by Karl May. Feet echoing across the famed terrazzo floors stopped to admire the new position of the most recent honour boards in the foyer of the new wing. With expressions of glee smug Arts students led their guests to the new classrooms occupied by IV and V Arts. After seeing all the new sights, visitors watched Scottish dancing, gymnastics and basketball in the gymnasium and ornamental swimming displays in the pool. An excellent tea was served in the dining room and all gathered there to discuss and praise the addition. Everywhere it was said that, without Miss Read, Branksome could never have grown to be the school that it is to-day. The whole day signified her success at Branksome, a success made possible by her unfailing guidance and outstanding leadership.

Page 12 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE ' ' Almighty God ... we pray Thee to bless this school, that whatsoever things are true, hon- est, just, and pure, may here forever flourish and abound. As another school year draws to a close, I look back upon it as one of progress in spirit, in character, and in learning ; and yet I pause and wonder. Has every girl en- tered into the school activities wholeheartedly, eager to make friends, anxious to do her part, honestly desirous of playing the game? Each of us will receive from her school life only what she contri- butes. In the years to come, we will never look back with regret on what we have given, yet we shall despair of that which we have not. Each girl has a part to play in the growth of this great school. Both the tiniest child in grade one and the prefect in the fifth form represent Branksome. All through our years in the school we must not only play the game and strive to live by our corner stones of truth, honesty, justice and purity, but also we must be a part of the spirit that is Branksome. We must endeavour to enlarge the school with a wider influence and what is most important, to preserve in it an unblemished name. Miss Read, the staff and we, the students, are that spirit of which we are so proud. We are Branksome. Let us continue to make it the school to which we may always say we are proud to belong. ' ' Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatso- ever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things. Think on these things and you too will Keep Well the Road.

This quotation from Sir Walter Scott ' s ' ' Lay of the Last Minstrel appears to be a very noble thought indeed when first read, but upon closer examination I believe that its merits may be challenged. Scott ' s idea was one of fierce patriotism for one ' s native land but let us consider, what is patriotism ? Is it a good or evil power in the minds of men ? Is it necessary in the growth and survival of a nation or is it an instrument towards destruction ? Before contemplating the merits of patriotism one must go back a little to the beginning of civilization as we know it to-day. At first, humanity consisted of man and his family who did not associate with others, but lived solitary, nomadic lives. Within this group existed a form of patriotism in which each family kept together, jealously guarding its meagre belongings and often fighting viciously to protect the family integrity. The next step was in the formation of the community, and, after many centuries, the isolated families merged to bring the village into existence. During this change a great lesson was learned by humanity — to live peaceably with others and not to trespass on other people ' s rights and privileges. Although each person has a certain pride and love in his own community, he rarely tried to force his ideas upon his fellow men. In time, larger communities called nations were formed and so civilization took on a shape not unlike our present day world. Now that the background of the development of countries and its natural result, patriotism, has been established, let us liken civilization to a vast army. An army marching together towards the unknown. Each nation is represented by a battalion, each community by a platoon and so on to the very last man, everyone having a position in the march of humanity. With this arrangement of everyone working as a unit towards a common goal, lasting peace. Life is a fairly simple matter of planning and executing that plan. However, matters do not remain in this state for very long; one of the nations or battalions soon becomes so full of its own greatness and has such a feeling of love or patriotism for itself that it wants to subjugate the rest of the army. Patriotism moves it to aggression. Hitler drew a picture in blood to illustrate to us the terrible results of this type of intense patriotism. He was a colonel leading the German battalion against the world, against the rest of the army of humanity. Being filled with patriotic feelings for, and pride in, Germany, he wished YEAR BOOK, 1957 Pac e 15 to bring his ideals to others even if force, destruction and war were necessary. The awful result of this extreme patriotism was seen in the terrible holocaust of World War II. Hitler ' s patriotism took that easy step to nationalism. Let me now answer the questions which I first posed. Is patriotism necessary in the growth and survival of a nation or is it an instrument towards destruction ? For the growth of a nation there must be a feeling of patriotism among its builders. For survival, once the nation is built, there is a need for love of one ' s country ; but eventually that love becomes too strong and leads the country to nationalism and its inevitable conse- quence, war. Destruction follows. What is patriotism? It is a sense of pride in the minds of men which prompts them to fight for their country and to support its ideals. However, consider this, if there were no patriots there would be no war. We mmst, in the face of the destruction brought on by misguided patriotism and consequent wars, conclude that this nationalism must become internationalism. Man learned the lesson of intercommunal life many centuries ago when he merged to form the village, but, as yet, he has not learned how to live peaceably in the larger international community. Until such time, patriotism can only lead to disaster. When and if this lesson is learned, there will be no need for love of one ' s country because, at that time, humanity will share a common love for the entire army of civilization. The world will be as God intended, a whole. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN OUR ALBUM OF GRADUATES PREFECTS Catherine Aylesworth (1951-57) — L ' art pour I ' art.

Graduation 1956 Page 24 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN TALENT NIGHT Branksome ' s second annual Talent Night was held in Eaton Audito- rium on Friday, March 29. Led by a capable commentator, Cathy Clark, the evening was arranged with a widely varied programme, ranging from an exotic Javanese Plate Dance, performed by Christelot Hanson, to the sparkling Polka from ' ' Facade , danced by Diane Ede and Nora Stearns. The Senior, Intermediate and Junior Choirs, under the expert direction of Mrs. Coutts, interpreted such songs as ' ' Kitty My Love , The Jolly Miller and The Violet . Their programme continued with the group of twelve singing three madrigals. The entertainment also included a piano solo by Lowell Pelton, Danish gymnastics, Jackie Burroughs ' prize-winning United Nations ' speech, and a Fashion Show presented by the Arts forms. Miss Portia White added a professional touch to the evening by singing compositions by Schubert and two negro spirituals. Her accom- panist was Miss Lee who also accompanied the choirs. A highhght of the evening was the thrilling sound of bagpipes and the brilliant Scottish dancing by Sandra Blaine and Janet MacArthur. Special thanks is in order for the excellent organizing jobs done by Miss Livingston, Miss Hughes and Miss Wahlroth. Because of its success for two consecutive years. Talent Night has become an annual event and takes its place among the traditions of the school. THE OPHELEO The Oxford dictionary defines the word Charity as Christian good feehng and help so given . These two meanings, so simply and beautifully given, express the real meaning and function of the Opheleo committee. From the beginning of the school year, it was our hope to be able to raise enough money not only to send to our usual missions, but also to many others. And now, as the year draws to a close, we are happy to say that Branksome has reached its objective. New ideas were introduced for raising money this year and they proved most successful. Bargain Breck ' s sale of lost and found articles started off the annual Ramabai collection in the fall. The Christmas collection followed and then in the winter term the Branksome Bazaar was YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 25 ACTIVITIES AT BRANKSOME Page 26 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN held to raise money for our new library. With the money given from the Lenten collection, the total was raised to over a thousand dollars. On behalf of the Opheleo committee, I would like to thank the girls of Branksome for their generosity and support throughout the year. Special thanks is du€ to the Junior School and my personal thanks to the Opheleo committee and executive for their help and co-operation. We should be proud of the spirit of giving that exists at Branksome!

THE CAROL SERVICE On December sixteenth, 1956, a congregation gathered in Saint Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church to await the commencement of Brank- some ' s thirtieth annual Carol Service. When the entire school had formed a silent line, made colourful by YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 27 the contrast of red and green kilts, all those assembled stood hushed and expectant. With bell-Hke clarity, the opening strains of the processional hymn, ' ' Once in David ' s Royal City , were sung by Marion Cox, Caroline Stanley-Porter, Norma McLean and Margo Lathrop. Then, all joined in the stately music and took their respective places in the chancel where, under the inspired leadership of Mrs. Coutts, they were to join in the moving service which has become a Branksome tradition. The programme ranged from the lovely simplicity of carols, sung by the Junior grades, to the more comphcated and brilliant excerpts from Benjamin Britten ' s ' ' Ceremony of the Carols , interpreted by the Senior Choir. A thrilling climax was reached when Susan Coxeter repeated the words of The Magnificent while, from the arched balcony above the chancel, Catherine Johnston as the Virgin Mary, Elizabeth Stephen as Joseph and six angels portrayed the Christmas Story in a shining pageant. Below, all the Senior School joined in the joyous carols, and the stirring recessional, Christian Awake , brought to its close a Carol Service unsurpassed in the history of the school. BETA KAPPA REPORT Dear Diary: November 7, 1956 I have never seen the boarders move so fast as they did to-day at 2:30. They bolted upstairs and pulled out dresses and shoes, set their hair and then came to help decorate the Common Room with the school colours and crests of the institutions near and dear to the hearts of most Branksomites: U.C.C., U.T.S., Ridley, etc. The Football theme was carried right through to the goal-line by two husky football players (stuffed unfortunately). The party was a great success and the m.usic was supplied by Eaton ' s Bandbox, thanks to Lisa Inksater. Dear Diary: December 7, 1956 There seems to be a gap in my diary, but now I have some earth shaking reports. To-night was the Fourth and Fifth Form Dance! All the furniture disappeared from the Common Room (I still can ' t figure out where everything went) and was replaced by silvery pine bows, Christmas trees, snowballs and streamers. Sandwiches and cookies, coffee and cokes were served in the dining room by candlelight. We were very fortunate to have John Beard come and play for us. Gosh, Christmas is almost here! Dear Diary : January 25, 1957 What a day! I ' m sure I shall see balloons in my sleep to-night. People were blowing up all day — balloons that is. The girls looked lovely in their formals and galoshes. What a terrible night; snow up to the windows and I, plowing around in boots, trying to impress my date. But the gym made up for the weather; it was decorated with giraffes, elephants, clowns and other Circus Circa 57 themes. And, oh yes, pinned to one of the curtains Page 28 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN was the cutest little lion I have ever seen. We certainly feel grateful to Miss Read for all that was done for us. To bed, to bed, to bed. Dear Diary: March — , 1957 I heard somebody talking about the Graduation Dance to-day. What a sad thought, but then again what excitement. The Strawberry Festival is the same night and I know from past experience ' , what fun that is. I am sure that the Grad will be a success too. PAMELA KERR, President. To New York by T.C.A.

Now Bermuda — Farewell! THE SENIOR CHOIR Hark to the strains Of an old established art! Thrill to the sounds That stir man ' s inner heart! GAIL ADAMS A clamour of voices, mingled with snatches of song, issues from the basement of Buccleuch House. Suddenly, the tumult is interrupted as a small voice announces, ' ' Stand up, girls! Mrs. Coutts enters. Silence reigns and another practice of the Senior Choir has begun. Such practices have been responsible for the choir ' s many accomplish- ments during the year. At the close of the fall term, Branksome ' s traditional Carol Service was highlighted by the Choir ' s presentation YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 29 of ' The Ceremony of the Carols by Benjamin Britton. These carols were repeated on Christmas Day in a broadcast over C.F.R.B. 1957 started out successfully with the choir placing first in the Kiwanis Festival. As stars of the Festival, they were invited to Massey Hall to sing their competition pieces: The Peaceful Western Wind and Sunset . The grande finale of the year was the Branksome Talent Night at Eaton ' s Auditorium in which the choir played a prominent part. The audience was especially enthusiastic towards the numbers from Carousel . This seems to have been an outstanding year for the Senior Choir- but little wonder with Mrs. Coutts directing. President — Susan Moore. Vice-President — Jacqueline Burroughs. Secretary — Marion Cox. Committee — Jo- Anne V aliant, Lynn Williams, Catherine Nelson, EHzabeth Aylesworth, Nora Stearns, Susan Coxeter. SENIOR CHOIR EXECUTIVE Jacqueline Burroughs (Vice-President), Sue Moore (President), Marion Cox (Secre- tary.) THE UNITED NATIONS Early in October sixteen Branksomites from third and fourth form started on a project that promised much hard work and a great deal of enjoyment. They were the group chosen to represent Branksome as the Indonesian Delegation in the Third Model United Nations General As- sembly, a realistic reproduction of the United Nations Assembly held in New York. Thirty-five schools participated, each representing a different country. The girls set eagerly to work, scouring through books and news- papers searching for information and back-ground material that would aid them in their effort to speak for Indonesia. On United Nations Day, October 24, four delegation members were 9 Page 30 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN lucky enough to attend a dinner given in Simpson ' s Arcadian Court. Here they mingled with young university students from the countries repre- sented in the Model United Nations, exchanging information on the culture and politics of their countries. Then the big night arrived. On Friday, January 18, at 7:30 P.M. they assembled in the Legislative Chamber of the Provincial Parliament Buildings. A very enlightening keynote address was given by J. A. Edmison, Q.C. of Queens University, brother to our own Miss Edmison. This was followed by the debates which were carried on at a fast and furious pace. The debating adjourned at 10:30 until 9:00 A.M. on Satur- day morning. There was a two hour break for luncheon at Hart House, and the Assembly closed at 5:00 in the afternoon. A dance was given in the evening for all the delegations that had participated in the Assembly. The questions discussed this year were as follows: The Suez Canal Crisis; the establishment of an International Trade Organization; the Refugee Problem; and Recommendations on the establishment of an agency for the control of peaceful uses of Atomic Energy. The Indonesian Delegation to the General Assembly feel that we have gained a great deal of useful knowledge from this year ' s venture, and we wish the ' ' Best of Luck to those who will follow in our foot-steps next year. The Indonesian Delegation to the Third Model General Assembly of the United Nations was composed of the following :- Speakers: Adrienne Allan, Jacqueline Burroughs, Joan Henson, Patricia Hamilton. Alternates: Lee Henderson, Mary McKeracher, Lowell Pelton, Ingrid Style. Observers: Joey Ayers, Joy Benadom, Susan Coxeter, Nadine Griffiths, Isolde Koenig, Janet Macarthur, Patricia Jacobs, Mary Jane Whiting. The Delegation extends its thanks to Mrs. Coulter, our staff advisor. Congratulations are certainly in order for Jackie Burroughs who won for Branksome, on March the seventh, the honour of being chosen one of three pupils to be given a glorious trip to New York this past Easter! This was the result of her speech entitled, ' ' The United Nations at the Crossroads , given at the Uniterian Church along with five other finalists of the U.N. A. Contest. Marc Sommerville of Jarvis Collegiate and Gerald Godsoe Jr. of Upper Canada College are also to be congratulated for their winning speeches. Those working behind the scenes for Jackie ' s speech were Patricia Hamilton, Joan Henson and Mrs. Coulter. Branksome, incidently, has carried off honours in this contest for four years in succession. Keep up the good work, Branksome! YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 31 LIFE ABROAD Dear Branksome: Sherborne School for Girls, Sherborne, Dorset, April 3, 1957. What a wonderful place England is! I am sitting writing to you looking out from my v indow upon Sherborne School ' s spacious, green, rolling acres. Now I know what Browning meant when he wrote, 0, to be in England, now that April ' s there. He might easily have been dreaming of Sherborne. Sparkling water draws my eyes to the outdoor swimming pool which, boardered by rock gardens and pine trees, is left untouched until hot summer weather. The two hours of games each day (field hockey, lacrosse, squash and tennis) are played on the many game ' s fields. It took me several weeks to disentangle the maze in my mind, and when I do find the right field, during the game I usually run victoriously down the field in the wrong direction! Next, my eyes fall on a plot of land on which in the near future will be built one of the largest and most modern Science Laboratories in the country. Sherborne and Branksome seem to be walking hand-in-hand with progress. Sherborne ' s science teachers are dreaming of what to Miss Edmison and Miss Claxton is now a deserved reality. Many litt le differences pop into my mind: whistling is strictly for- bidden as it reveals a lack of self -discipline. Goodness, in my case, I should think that whistling, as opposed to singing, would be the lesser of the two evils! Talking in the halls is eliminated to save the ears from the shrill impact of 460 girls all talking at once. Such a rule at Branksome would foil the number one spot for the latest gossip. Wireless (transla.tion: radio) advertisements are non-existent, and thus the soap is discarded. Joyce Walker and Sherborne ' s Next Representative Page 32 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN leaving the opera. Oh, this ' ' left hand side of the street rule has labelled me as the Canadian road menace. At every school food holds a prominent place, but there seems to be so much more of it in England. In addition to the customary three meals a day (during which open battle is often declared on kippers), we have a mid-morning break (elevenses) of buns and cocoa, the traditional and delicious tea and assorted cakes in the afternoon and a hot drink before bed. Oh, how do the Enghsh keep their well-proportioned figures? Sherborne is very generous with holidays, giving us a month at Christmas and at Easter, and in that time, I learned that there is nothing as warm and sincere as Enghsh hospitality. Their home is your home and at once you are one of the family. Fundamentally, I think that Canada and England have one great thing in common — a sincere kindness and goodwill. May there ' ' always be an England ! Love, JOYCE WALKER. Branksome Hall, Toronto, Ontario Dear Sherborne: March 27, 1956. Street-cars and sticky buns, traffic lights and cheer-leaders, hot dogs and hospitahty are a few of the innumerable impressions Canada has printed on my mind. No one can visit this country without being struck by the gay, friendly spirit and warm good-will. All Canada ' s brilliant qualities are mingled into the school life at Branksome. Life goes on at a hair-raising rate, and it is gloriously casual and free. Every girl has a chance to unfurl her individual talents while the spirit of the school has caught the special attention of both the Press and Radio (such inverse usages as radio instead of wireless, movie instead of cinema and sidewalk instead of pavement all add to the confusion). Each morning fierce drivers in mammoth multi-coloured cars have to wait for hoards of kilted figures to cross the road. These kilts, a gorgeous escape from lyle stockings and felt hats, illustrate Branksome ' s strong Scottish traditions. Among the games played are badminton and basket- ball; the latter being like netball only somewhat wilder and speedier. Boarding, especially the first few months, seemed to bring total freedom. One can frequently escape out for dances and dinner leaves, and instead of spending the whole afternoon playing games, my figure is going to rack and ruin devouring cokes, marshmellow sundaes and YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 33 hamburgers. As soon as I stepped foot in Sherb I was immediately strip- ped of Wellingtons, Macintosh and undervests and was taught the art of wearing Bucks, Bobby socks and Bermuda shorts. Most of the girls have cultivated pony tails or chignons and there is also an amazing amount of peroxide around. It is impossible to realize fully the size and space of this land but wherever one goes and whatever one sees each friend and family open up their house and transforms it into a second home. This is a Promised Land for anyone with determination and ambition, and any visitor is immediately impressed by the remarkably high standards of living and is greeted with sincere kindness and understanding. With love, SANDY SINCLAIR. INTERSCHOOL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP God sent His Son to the world and thee To redeem the world and set us free. He was so despised by those like me Who caused Him to suffer on Calvary. Then did I see what it meant to me, How Christ did love the world and thee. Oh, how I pray that others might see The love of Christ redeemed in me. JILL HAMILTON and CATHERINE NELSON. Miss Read ' s drawing room at ' No. 16 was a scene of much activity every Friday afternoon, with groups of girls hurrying to be present at the beginning of the I.S.C.F. meeting. Special speakers such as Mr. Bill Fulton, Mr. Peter Letchford, Dr. P aul Roberts and Miss Jo McCourt, or a film such as Oil Town, U.S.A. drew large numbers of girls. The Bible studies and quiz groups may not have been as largely attended, but a more interested and intense group of girls was not to be found anywhere in the school. The symbols on the pin worn by many of the members are those of the crest of war and are taken from St. Paul ' s words on Christian warfare in Ephesians 6:10-19. They seem to express perfectly the Christian principles of Branksome. The I.S.C.F. Officers were: President — Judith Moore. Treasurer — Wendy Bateman. Vice-President — Patricia Molyneaux. Missions — Ruth Thompson. Secretary — Jill Hamilton. Social — Catherine Nelson. Page 34 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 35 FORM V VOYAGE A L ' UTOPIE L ' Utopie, vision des philosophes de tout temps, desir et espoir de tous pour Tavenir: L ' Utopie! — une impossibilite , dit le pessimiste. ' ' Regardez le monde d ' aujourd ' hui. Comment peut-on esperer une vie parfaite quand la moitie du monde est assujettie. Impossible! Non seulement les optimistes mais les croyants disent, ' ' Dieu ne pent vouloir que Ses enfants vivent dans des conditions qui les rameront a Fetat sauvage. II remediera a tout . Le pessimiste ruse repond chaque fois, ' La nature humaine ne pent jamais se modifier. Mais malgre tout ee que le pessimiste declare, je sais qu ' il y a une Utopie. Autrement, comment puis-je y voyagere? La rout serpente a travers des cavernes tenebreuses et des marais lugubres, mais de temps en temps une lueur se laisse entrevoir, celle de la paix, celle de I ' Utopie. Cheminant toujours le long de ces sentiers effrayants ou regne la destruction amenee par la guerre et par la vengeance, je hate le pas. Mais a travers une lumiere indecise, voici des vestiges de culture et d ' intelligence. Maintenant le chemin semble etre plus a pic et beaucoup plus clair. L ' Utopie, est-elle tout pres? Mais bientot tout redevient sombre car la route descend; puis elle s ' eleve et tombe, unie par ici, escarpee par la, mais jamais elle n ' atteint la lumiere du jour. N ' arrivera-je done jamais a I ' Utopie? Le chemin monte doucement vers le somment quand il s ' approche du vingtieme siecle, surtout quand il est aide par les organisations qui recherchent la paix mondiale. Mais il s ' incline de nouveau quand il traverse les grandes guerres; cependant, quand le monde aide les souff rants, les indigents, les asservis, I ' inclinaison et la proximite de la lumiere aug- mentent, et, maintenant, le chemin va tout droit vers le haut. Voila rutopie ou rien ne manque a personne! Je peux me moquer des croyances du pessimiste. Qu ' est-ce qu ' il sait de la nature humaine? Une personne, avec I ' aide divine, peut tout faire, il peut vaincre tout ce qui doit etre vaincu peut etre libre. Quand tout le monde aura compris cela, quand tout le monde aura secoue le joug de la servilite, nous aurons I ' Utopie ici sur la terre. C ' est un Heu merveilleux. Je viens d ' y passer! SANDRA HOLM. MATRIC!! Why all the toil of the past years ? Why all the blood and sweat and tears ? Why does fifth form now shake with fears? MATRIC!! Why did Hitler go to war? What caused China ' s Open Door ? What on earth is history for? ' MATRIC!! Page 36 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Qu ' est-ce que ' c ' est la Rue de la Pays? Est-ce que ici on parle frangais? Pourquoi sommes-nous tres fa- tiguees ? MATRIC!! Statics, inclination of a line, Surds and functions plague the mind. To conquer math we are resigned. MATRIC!! Physics and chemistry we are taught.

Botanical studies and the human inside. Frogs and fish in formaldehide. Visions of biology in our minds reside, MATRIC!!

JANE WATSON, AUTUMN The long, low, mournful howl Of the wind, And the incessant pelting rain Piercing the hardened earth, And the tinge of frost. Cast a bleakness all about. In angered fury Leaves rose heavenward in a twister. Only to drop. The small creek was now a turbu- lent monster, Roaring, dashing, foaming. The colour had drained from the sky. It was grey and bleak. Melancholy was the mom. It was Autumn. CYNTHIA REID PHILOSOPHY A lake: broad plain of smoothest blue When seen from far ; yet one small wave, Though out of sight, far past the few That, roaring, beat the shore, — One wave, out there, helps keep that lake Wet For evermore.

YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 39 such crises as the Israeli Problem, the Suez and in all disturbing situation in the Middle East has led many to believe that the United Nations is now ' at the crossroads ' . ' ' Such situations are regarded as a turning point only if one regards the United Nations as a world government. The United Nations was never Branksome Goes to Toyland intended as, and never professed to be, a world government. Such would be unattainable at present.. . . Though the United Nations in some vital matters is severely criticized, how much better it is that grievances can be aired in open discussion, and perhaps modified by a fuller understanding of the situation. . . . I sincerely believe that the solution lies not in the turning, but in continuing the original objectives of the United Nations, which are, and I quote from the charter: ' To re-affirm faith in fundamental human rights; to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom. ' Although the United Nations would assure to the world ' s millions the enjoyment of all these freedoms, it is not, nor does it wish to be a world government. Its ultimate objective is, of course, the happiness of the individual. What better way is there than by its humanitarian efforts which, though not as widely publicized as its political decisions, have touched the lives and reached into the hearts of multitudes? I would like to elaborate on a few of these humanitarian reforms. Everywhere upon the face of the earth the United Nations is seeking to train the untrained, to feed the underfed, to help the helpless. Its technical assistance programme has brought to about one hundred and thirty countries, new knowledge and new skills. U.N.I.C.E.F., the world ' s largest international effort to improve « Page 40 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN the health and welfare of children, is strengthening their future. U.N.E.S.C.O. is contributing to peace and security by promoting collabor- ation among nations through education, science, and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law, and for human rights and fundamental freedoms. . . . ' ' Surely, the intellectual and moral solidarity of the world must be achieved before world peace can be attained. Here within the United Nations is a place where nations of good-will can co-operate on projects for the common benefit, such as the atoms for peace programme. This, to me, is uniting for peace in the best possible sense; the building up of a harmonious world be an organization void of biased political policy, something a single power could never have accompUshed. ' ' Following this present path, our United Nations is a congress, a sounding board of nations, a world forum, and thus the most potent single power influencing world opinion and developing that common world wide sense of justice, the only basis for a true and enduring peace. In this way, the paths of all countries, enlightened by humanitarian impulses, will merge and strengthen the present road of the United Nations to universal harmony. It will take time to reach our destination. The road is uphill all the way. But let us support and uphold the United Nations, and, to quote my school ' s motto, ' Keep Well the Road ' !

YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 41 _FORMm DIM STAR After the nurse had left, she turned laboriously towards the window and gently pushed aside the white cotton curtain. Only the rythmic chirping of the crikets disturbed the mesmeric tranquillity. The pale full moon was resting atop the weeping willow, casting languid shadows across the lawn. She had often watched that sad, unchanging face. How much longer would she have? She knew that she had lived much longer than the doctors had expected she would. She had extorted that much from them almost two weeks ago. Them and their supposedly comforting fibs, she thought wryly. Mendacity always find itself out. She glanced up and saw the first dim star appear in that black, unfathomable void. She watched it, fascinated by its bhnking; but, her thoughts wandered away from it and she looked, unseeing . . . Only a year ago she had been happy with the rest of her class enjoying all the activities that she knew she could never participate in again. But she was not sorry for herself ; in fact, she felt a rather morbid satisfaction in the knowledge that she was not scared. Tomorrow her mother would be coming in the early afternoon. There would be more letters to read. There were always letters. She glanced absently up at the sky towards her star. The sky was full of them now, and she could not find it. She shut her eyes and turned slowly onto her back. She felt terribly weak and tired. She knew then what was happening. One star shone brighter and brighter. MARIE KOENIG, ON DAYDREAMING Daydreaming, contrary to popular belief, is not a bad habit in fact, it is not a habit at all. It is an art which xan be acquired only as the result of painstaking practice, but which, once mastered, results in a warm glow of achievement that is more than ample compensation for any effort expanded. Let me make it quite clear at the outset that I do not refer to daydreaming as a means by which leisure time can be whiled away in solitary contemplation; I refer, rather, to the abihty to create an illusion of alert attentiveness while your thoughts are miles away. If you are afflicted with parents who consider it their duty to supervise your home study, the art of daydreaming is a necessity. As most parents are content to cast an occasional glance as they pass your room, it is quite simple to create the illusion that you are deep in concentrated study. Simply open a few books in front of you, fix your gaze upon one, and let « Page 42 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN your thoughts wander. A better effect may be produced if you occasionally shift your position or look at a different book. You may consider your deception to be successful when t he family starts tiptoeing past your door to allow you to ' ' study in peace. It is shghtly more difficult to maintain such an impression in a classroom. Above all, you must remember to keep an eager expression on your face at all times, as if you are soaking up knowledge hke a sponge. Even that crafty pedagogue who hurls questions at you when you least -expect them, can be defeated im you endeavour to remain in a state of semiconsciousness such that, by the time you flounder to your feet, the question has seeped through. You may have been able to extricate yourself from a dreary, one-sided conversation concerning Mrs. Jones ' seventh appendectomy or Uncle Herman ' s last hunting trip. In such a case, the daydreamer has an effective means of escape, and in all likelihood the person in question will never notice, particularly if you can manage to interject seemingly interested murmers at appropriate intervals. This is the ultimate test of your powers as a daydreamer. CATHERINE JOHNSON, FAREWELL MY SON The wind blew hard, Inside the house, And the rain came down. A young man stood. On a small, white house His eyes downcast, At the edge of town. On a crib of wood. The shutters shook With the careless wind, And a light appeared From a room within. He stood and thought, Of this dreadful day, That had come to take, A son away. MIA and Watermelon He turned to the bed, And God was there. God and his son With the curly hair. He fell to his knees And raised his eyes. Beyond the roof To the cloudy skies. For now his boy. Exempt from sin. Had said good-bye And Death walked in.

FOG Silently stealing out of the night, Softly grey in the pale moonlight, On velvet feet she tiptoes down To call from sleep the little town. The fog, like a dove, spreads out her wings To call to her breast a thousand things That, all day long ' neath the brazen sun, Fight to see life ' s hard battle won. At a touch of her hand, the dark- ness yields. Draws his cloak from the towns and fields. Gently, as by an angel kissed, The world awakes to the touch of the mist. JOCELYN AYERS. FORM II SNOW SCULPTURING February the fourth was the day that the girls of the Senior School were to have a ' ' Snow-Sculpturing Contest . Each clan was to produce a form from the snow. At noon the different clans had many ideas and the big blobs of snow soon began to take shape. Just as soon as things were on the way to completion, the afternoon bell rang and much to everyone ' s disappointment we had to return to the classrooms. It seemed like an eternity from the first class at one o ' clock to the last one at two-thirty. Then, at last, the bell rang and once again the work commenced. Next morning the yard seemed to be an outside ' ' Art Gallery . That afternoon the girls from the Junior School came over to view our efforts. They loved to sit on the back of the seal, balancing a ball on his nose or to stand on tip-toe to touch the beak of the penguin. They laughed at the sight of the tortoise trying desperately to win the race against the hare. The elephant stood tall and majestic when the children ran up to look at his long trunk I One of the highlights of the contest was the engraving of the school crest in the snow and at one of the entrances of the school, sat the impressive sphinx, MacAlpine ' s prize-winning effort. Even though the forms are no longer visible, they will always remain fixed in my mind. PATRICIA NEALE. THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS To-day is the day after Christmas and you are busy gathering together all the presents you intend to take back. It is not that you do not appreciate your presents ; it is just that you have not any use for a few of them. First, there is a book all about elephants. You hate reading; you hate elephants and do not exactly like the person who gave it to you. Next, is a pair of Page 44 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN ballet shoes. Why, you can hardly Hft your arm above your head. Next is a box of soap. This is even more ridiculous than the others. You never take a bath and the odd time that you do using soap would be out of the question. So the day continues leaving you with fewer presents every minute. Last, but not least is a television set. This was your Christmas present to yourself, but unfortunately you cannot afford it. CATHERINE YOUNG. WHY? Why do days come at all? Why does the rain and snowflake fall? And why is the sky sometimes grey and blue? And why do all the days start off new? Why in the day does the sun shine bright? And why do the evenings have no light? And then why is the day not dark ? And why does destruction leave its mark? Why are people happy and sad? And why are they sometimes good and bad? Why is our skin not black but white? And why are there wars which cause us to fight? Why do living things move and breathe ? And why do flowers have green leaves ? Why do trees look so high? As if they almost reach the sky? WHY? ANNE ROSS. MORNING We grope and we fumble. We moan and we mumble. Through agony, suffering and pain. We seem to awake, With a shudder and shake At the thought that it ' s morning again. We toss and we turn And we aimlessly churn ' Neath our covers and blankets and sheets; But the bell, it has rung, And the day has begun, It ' s too late to be trying to sleep. KATHERINE ADAM. YEAR BOOK, 1957 A PRAYER FOR TOMORROW Help us to-day, O Canada, For we are yours tomorrow. Nourish our minds As well as our bodies, If we are to be The moulders of your destiny. Teach the long years of stride Through the long years of strife. Show us the path, O Canada, That we must take. Give us the strength and courage, O Lord, To better our tomorrow. JOAN HANCOCK. THE VICTOR The restless leader of the herd Was old. His coat was battle- scarred. What was it that made his nostrils flare? Some danger was hinted in the air, And so his sense of peace was marred. ' A challenging cry rang out! The startled old horse wheeled around, Page 45 A young stallion sent forth this cry. As he stood outlined against the sky. His foreleg pawed the frozen ground. The old horse shook, he knew not why, For he had fought in many fights. This enemy he would quickly rout, He glanced at his mares, and then gave out His cry, he would protect his rights. The sound of battle rent the air. The earth was ground beneath their feet, The dust and the sand around them swirled, As they rose and dropped, then lunged and whirled. Each strove the other to defeat. Blood and sweat mixed on rippling hides. Nostrils flared and eyes ringed with white Page 46 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN And now their horrid screams cut the air, Startled a mountain Hon in his lair Who crept forward to watch the flight. The black was strong, but had no skill. The old was tough and he fought well. He suddenly lunged to make the kill! But he missed — and in the mom- ent still An Evening af Sherb. He stumbled to his knees, then fell. The black stopped never a moment. His hoof descended hard and fast. The old horse lay as if in a daze His body twitched once. His eyes did glaze. His hard life was over at last. Light faded from the western sky. The gentle stars began to peep When the black ' s wild and beau- tious cry. Or triumph rose to the darkened sky. And the mares settled down for sleep. SUSAN MANCANTELLI. Closing the Gap YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 47 FORM I A DESERT STORM Every thing is motionless. This eerie environment makes one shudder to be standing alone in this barren desert. Now and then a hungry hawk swoops down, trying to capture its prey. A groundhog pops its head out of his home and glances about, sensing danger. Then, a short, smooth gust of wind sweeps across the dry desert plain. Whistling around, the wind strengthens and sand begins to fly madly. In a moment the storm is in full swing. The sand makes one blind. The tree branches roll over the desolate plain and are soon buried by the turbulent sand. Soon the howling wind dies down and the sand ceases to sweep across the plain. The groundhogs look out and the hawk continues to hunt for his prey. The desert is motionless, once more. YNN ROBINETTE. AUTUMN SCENE Autumn is a busy time of year not only for people but for animals and birds. Beneath an oak, near our picnic table in Algonquin Park, two energetic, black squirrels are busy collecting acorns for food when the snowy winter days arrive. In among the pines and brightly colored maples, other woodland animals such as the stately deer are also hastily preparing for the cold weather ahead. In a glassy pond nearby only the splashing of the powerful tail of the beaver is heard. Like the other animals the eager beaver is storing food. Overhead a gigantic flock of colourful geese are soaring across the cloud-covered sky towards the warm, inviting south. All the animals busily preparing for winter create an active autumn scene. CLARE CRUMMEY. ' TIS CI Hurrying feet on the snowy roads. Jostling crowds and heavy loads. Wreaths and holly on every abode, Tis Christmas! Gay windows trimmed with things so bright. Excited faces and thrilling sights. Jingling bells and coloured lights, ' Tis Christmas ! Happiness everywhere; all is gay, Carols ring out this special day For old and young; the children say, ' Tis Christmas! ANNE WOOLGAR ♦ Page 48 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Junior Activities JUNIOR CLANS This year the chieftains, sub- chieftains and members of our three Junior Clans, Bruce, Grant and Robertson, have all worked hard to boost their clan to the top. Throughout the year each girl has done her best, whether it be in Sport ' s Day or Neatness Week, as well as in many other competi- tions. Though the winning clan has not yet been determined, we know that every Junior has put a sincere effort into the work for her clan. Much thanks is due to Miss Hughes, Miss Walroth and Miss Ross for their guidance in sports. THE EASTER STORY This is the Easter Story In a poetic way, From the Day of Crucifiction To the Resurrection Day. Jesus rode into the city In all His glory and might. Into the city of Jerusalem And there God shone His light. And He rode into the city. The city was full of sin, In the centre there was a temple And Jesus went therein. But there was a prophecy That Jesus would die, That someone would betray Him, And in a tomb He ' d lie. And they took Him to Pilate And unto the Chief Priests, Pilate tried to defend Him, But it was like fighting beasts. And so He was condemned, Condemned to die. He was doomed to Crucifiction Upon the cross raised high. And when He was raised up Upon the very cross. To Mary, His mother He was a great loss. But on the third day He rose again. He was the Son of God And on the right hand of God He would reign.

YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 49 THE JUNIOR CHOIR The Junior Choir is made up of sixty girls whose ages range from nine to fourteen years. In the past this Choir has won the Kiwanis Shield three times running and so the Junior School has been able to display the prize-winning plaque for as many years. As the ' ' Slogan goes to press we are busily re- hearsing for Talent Night. The Choir is directed by Mrs. Coutts who conducts all the choirs at Branksome and we would like to take this opportunity to thank her for guidance and patience and the help which she has given us. AUTUMN IN THE WOODS Have you ever walked through the woods in October ? If you have, you have seen a very pretty sight. The sun shining on the leaves gives the trees the appearance of being on fire, with their bright colours of red, yellow and orange. As you are walking along with the leaves rustling under your feet you realize that winter is approaching. The animals, too, know winter is near. The squirrels are busy gathering nuts for their winter food. The foxes, v easles and rabbits are slowly changing their coats from browns and grays to white. During the autumn season you miss one thing — the wonderful sound of the birds because they have gone south. If you are fortunate at sun- set you might see high in the sky an old honker leading his flock of geese to their winter nesting place. Yes, winter is almost here!

The girls competed in races of various types which included a bicycle race, a potato race and a clan chieftain race plus many others. The day was a success and ended in victory for the Scott Clan. SPORTS DAY Every year we like to make a few changes at Branksome and this year a change was made in our sports schedule. The Senior Sports Day was held in the fall instead of in the early spring. We were pleased to see some parents out to support their daughters and also to have our faithful spectators who cheer us on each year, the children from ' ' the Home . The spirit and sportsmanship displayed was outstanding and we are pleased to be able to congratulate some outstanding winners. Senior Champion: Joan Sander- son.

Page 54 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN OLD AND NEW GIRLS BASKETBALL GAME Some old (?) familiar faces appeared one Friday night in Sep- tember to show that a ' ' few years rest never did anyone harm. Apart from the tackUng and few ruffing penalties called, it could have been eitheir team ' s game, but Branksome recovered in the final minutes of play to tie the score at 20-20. BRANKSOME vs. BUFFALO SEMINARY February the first, an evening of international good will, wit- nessed one of Branksome ' s best basketball games. Thirty-five rep- resentatives from Buffalo Semi- nary travelled here to play our First, Second and Third Teams. The first half of each of the games was played by Canadian rules. During intermission there appeared (along with thirst-quenching or- anges) a chalked half-way fine, filled in by industrious American and Canadian girls. The Brank- some teams make a gallant effort to play American rules in the last half and came through with wins over the Buffalo players. That night the United State ' s visitors were royally entertained by Branksomites at their homes. On Saturday, after a ride on To- ronto ' s subway and a shopping spree on Bloor Street, the girls came back to the school for lunch and a tour of the buildings and grounds. Amid sad good-byes, our American friends boarded the 2:30 bus for their return across the border to Buffalo. First Team— won: 32-8. Second Team— tied: 10-10. Third Team— won: 28-10. HAS-BEEN S GAME Saturday morning saw the first team — Bermuda shorts and all — playing a varied group of Phys, Ed. Instructors, including ' ' petite Miss Walworth and charging Miss Hughes. Although it was a practice game, the first team were thoroughly trounced to the tune of 36-9. In interviewing the wilted first team players there was an unanimity of opinion . . . WE SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN BED. TENNIS 1956 For the first time in several years Branksome ' s Senior Tennis Team consisting of the three doubles teams, Gail Burton, Fran- ces Wilson, Judith Howell, Ingrid Meenen, Marg. Benson, and Linda Nethery, tied for first place in the Inter-School Tennis Matches. It was a three way tie with Havergal and BSS. Branksome was closest to sole possession of first place for our tennis teams lost the two closest matches of the day. The junior team was not quite so successful, placing third behind BSS and Havergal in that order. The junior team was Mary Jull, Diana Style, Gail Adams, Jennifer Grey, Jane Robertson and Donna Lee. Let us hope that this year will be Branksome ' s year in the tennis matches. Good Luck to 1957 ' s teams. YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 55 SWIMMING Our big event of the year is the Inter-School Swimming Meet against B.S.S. and the other girl ' s schools. Thanks to the coaching of Miss Ross and Miss Hughes we approached our opponents with a wonderful team, who displayed good sportsmanship throughout the meet, even though we placed third behind B.S.S. and Havergal. Now all have in mind our own swimming meet and the clan meets at the end of the year. We cannot forget that there are many girls who do not compete in these meets but who spend their spare time learning all they can about Water Safety and who participated in entertaining at the Open House by giving a demonstration of their ornamental and diving skill.

The games were close and competition keen, yet the spirit of friendship between the schools prevailed over all. Branksome placed third behind Havergal and B.S.S. Branksomites are nevertheless confident that as badminton plants its roots a little deeper in our activities, Branksome will improve. Senior Team: Margaret Benson, Ingrid Meenen. Intermediate Team: Gail Adams, Jane Robertson. Junior Team: Barbara Langley, Jill Davies. BOWLING On March 6th, five girl ' s schools congregated at St. Paul ' s Church to participate in the annual Inter- School Bowling Tournament. The teams consisted of two girls from each of Havergal, B.S.S. , St. Clem- ents, St. Mildreds and Branksome. Thanks to the help of Miss Wal- worth, the scorers and the girls who volunteered to be pinboys, we spent an enjoyable afternoon, plac- ing fourth behind St. Clements, Havergal, and B.S.S. Bowling is enjoyed throughout the year by all the girls of Brank- some and we wish to take this opportunity to thank St. Pauls who allow us to use their badmin- ton courts and their bowling alleys. Team: Louise Holden, Molly Strachan. SKIING, SKATING, TOBOGANNING ' ' Old Man Winter appeared in Toronto full-heartedly this year and the results were very effective around Branksome. Many ski trips were made to Colingwood and the farm on Saturdays where the ex- perts tackled the higher hills and the beginners tumbled down the smaller slopes. Three days a week, we appeared at Riverdale Terrace to try our hand at skating. The remaining days of the week we graduated to toboggans and joined the juniors on the hills at Readacres. LEAP FROG ' YEAR BOOK, 1957 Page 56a Alumnae News Miss Read ' s dinner for the Alumnae was held, Saturday, April 27th. As usual it was a huge success. After dinner a short business meeting was held with the President, Shirley McEvoy Bell, in the chair. Reports were read by Jean Wahlroth and Eve King and a cheque for the Extension Fund was presented to the Principal. As it had been decided that elections would take place only every two years the same officers carry on, with the addition of this year ' s Head Girl, Jane Watson, to the executive. Miss Read addressed the girls. Her speech is always appreciated as she brings the Alumnae ' ' up to date with all events in the school and tells of future plans. In writing of the dinner held in April, 1956, honouring Miss Read, a very important item was inadvertently omitted and that is that, present at the event, were Lillie Shannon Plant, two of her three Branksome daughters and her twin granddaughters who were in the graduating class. The B.H.A.A. had a Sale of Home Baking and White Elephants in October, held at ' ' Readacres . They also undertook to sell tickets for the Branksome Hall Talent Night, held in Eaton Auditorium the end of March.

Ageless Patterns, from the ebbing Tide, Changeless, from the dawn of Earth: Steep and rugged the Mountain Hills Boulder strewn surround The Bays and Inlets, out of sight Appear, from the higher ground. As the winding Roads, each hand hewn, Page 58 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN From five hundred feet, to the Sea, Awe the Traveller time and again. And will — to Eterni ty: Adobe Huts all thatched with Palm, Open for all to see The smiHng People, so soft of speech, Having siesta — under a tree; Majestic Hotels on Cliff and Shore, ' Midst poverty, centuries old, , With music and song, from present and past, The Native stories are told: Sidewalk Merchants in the Street, Bargain their wares away; The Beggars stand with out- stretched hand, While street Musicians play ; Strong are the Bulls, so bred for the Ring, Brave is the Toreador, So fleet of foot is all the Team, Banderollo, Peone and Picadore: Gulls and Pelicans wheeling above The homeward fishing boat, While slowly passing in the wash, A Native Funeral Float, Quietly paddling over the Bay Alone, with his fiower-decked mound. Far ' round the Cliffs and Water- ways He goes, to the Burial Ground: Diving Boys from the towering Cliffs, Jump — to the boiling Sea, Where Dolphin and Sailfish, leap in the fight Of glittering Majesty; Paradise, is this lovely Port, Where soft the Winds do blow, As the burning Sun, forever shines On Acapulco Mexico.
