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.
