We send you forth believing that you will do your part wherever your lot is cast and to each one of us a special role is assigned. You have been given much, and much will be required of you, but I am sure you will not fail, and may the world be a better place because you have lived in it. Ever strive to follow Christ the King and then you cannot fail because we are prom- ised that his Presence shall go with us. Some day every knee shall bow to Him and the Kingdoms of this world will become the King- doms of our Lord and Saviour and He shall reign over all the earth. May that day be hastened and may the Blessing of our Heavenly Father rest upon you one and all. YEAR BOOK, 1958 Page 5 MISS JENNIE E. MacNEILL, M . Assistant to the Principal Page 6 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN EDITORIAL As this editorial is being written, an international conference on education is currently being held in Toronto with participants from various parts of the North American continent. The subject of education is being discussed, not only by the teachers themselves, but by those who have been taught on the three levels (Elementary, High School and University), as well as business and industrial employers. At this conference it has been stated that ' ' the essence of a good and stable education lies in the High School training. The educators and their former students alike are clamouring for a higher standard of education than that which is in vogue. The common denominator of present educational standards does not cater to the gifted student. The intellectual in North American class- rooms to-day is looked upon as something extraordinary. A good per- centage of Canadian and American students attend school only under compulsion and few students are encouraged to think independently, while few continue their education after the completion of their formal schooling. During the 1957-58 school year, we at Branksome have witnessed man ' s first successful attempt to place man-made satellites in orbit. At present, one can only guess where these experiments will lead us. It may be the first stride in man ' s travelling to the moon — an idle dream of half a century ago — proving that dreams can become reality, of the first step towards total obliteration of this planet. No longer will we be bound by our cities, our countries, or the earth ' s atmosphere. Knowledge is the key to the safe use of the scientific mysteries which are being unfolded daily before us. Tomorrow, students face a complexity of problems unknown even fifty years ago when most of our educational standards were set. A new concept for training is urgently needed, a problem which the international conference is tackling. But what of to-day? Have we who are graduating from Branksome Hall this year and next wasted our time? The answer of course is certainly not — for we have learned human and spiritual values which are ageless. We have had the best of present day training as inadequate as it may seem to those studying the educational requirements of the future. We have learned to ' ' Keep Well the Road — our children may learn to fly as well!

Page 8 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN HEAD GIRUS MES SAGE The treasure that Branksome offers to us is both a gift and a responsibihty. The same opportuni- ties both spiritual and material, the same educational facilities and the same chances for progress in every sphere of its many activities are extended to each Branksomite whatever her individual talent may be. But we will only benefit from these opportunities if we enter wholly into the spirit of our school and justify the faith that Miss Read has placed in us as members of Branksome Hall. The spirit is ourselves: it is our individual par- ticipation and enthusiasm for our clans and clubs, our schoolwork and our friendships that make the Branksome spirit. Every year, ideas are put forward which eventually become traditions of the school, and it is our hope that the new crest for enthusiastic participation will become a permanent award. For it is a manifestation of this intangible spirit which we cherish. With the close of this memorable year, the graduating class feels confident that this treasure is your safe-keeping, and wish to leave you with the words of Miss Read : For all we possess is that part of ourselves which we have given away.

The school, seated in the nave, presented a uniform block of colour that was an effective contrast with the bright procession that was led down the aisle by the Guard of Honour. The clan chieftains, wearing their plaids and carrying their banners were followed by last year ' s Prefects, with the school flags. Behind them were the sub- prefects distinguished by their red bands, and then the Prefects wearing their red uniforms for the first time. The Head Girl walked alone in full Highland dress and the procession was completed by the staff in their gowns followed by Miss Read. Miss Read gave a short but effective address explaining how Branksome was founded on the four corner stores of truth, honesty, justice and purity, then the actual ceremony began. The clan chieftains were installed first and they each raised their banners as their names were called ; this year the sub-prefects were introduced individually to the school. For each Prefect, Miss Read provided an interesting bio- graphical note before she was officially installed, and finally Jackie Bur- roughs was installed as Head Girl. With the handing over of the flags to the new Prefects, the singing of the school hymn, and the return of the procession through the church, the impressive ceremony was completed. Garden Party 1957 Graduation 1957 YEAR BOOK, 1958 Page 15 INTERSCHOOL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP This year has been very beneficial for the ISCF, and all our pro- grammes most interesting. At our first meeting the speaker was Mr. Bill Fulton, who gave us a great deal to think about by telling us what ISCF should be. The following Saturday we held a bowling party, meeting first at the Chicken Chalet and later at Quita Mainguy ' s. Three times Mrs. Verna Johnson spoke to us after a Bible study about people and conditions in Ecuador. On the twenty-second of February there was a city -wide sleigh- ride, and our only hope is that the rest of the year will be as successful. Pres., Elizabeth Watts. Vice-Pres., Wendy Bateman.

Page 16 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN BETA KAPPA REPORT 1957-58 The first dance of the school year was the Boarder ' s Dance held on the twenty-fourth of October. With very little help from the Beta Kappa, the committee of eager house girls chose as their theme — Hallowe ' en! The Common Room was put under a magic spell with the aid of monstrous black cats, orange pumpkins and even a few spiders (not real — heaven forbid ! ) to give it an extra spine-tingling touch ! As the Christmas season approached, we racked our brains for a way to ' ' spark the spirit. On Friday, December the sixth, the Common Room was again decorated, this time gaily decorated with candy canes and snow- men. This fourth and fifth form dance was titled ' ' the Peppermint Prom with music supplied by John Beard. A few red hands were seen for the next couple of weeks as a result of dyeing pipe cleaner red, and fashioning them into small candy-cane pins that were given out at the door. On Friday, January the twenty-fifth, the girls of third, fourth and fifth forms were piped through the receiving line into the castle of Briga- doon. The towering walls bore the clan standards, and the orchestra of Jim MacDonald donned plaid sashes for the occasion. The false ceiling of billowing pink and mauve cobwebs completed the mystic atmosphere. Even dry ice, curling from the huge stone fireplace, which covered one end of the gymnasium, tried to create the misty environment of the Scottish highlands. By the grapevine it seems as though a good time was had by all. Many thanks to Miss Read for a wonderful Scottish evening! Our next venture — the Graduation dance — yet to come, hopes to dis- play the calypso touch (shh ' . keep that under your hat!) Already we are looking forward to it with great anticipation . . . and perhaps a little sadness. The Strawberry Festival held the same night should be extremely successful in the hands of our fourth formers. JANE McMURRAY, President. OPHELEO REPORT This year, it has been the aim of the Opheleo committee to have each girl at Branksome support our charitable programmes by personal con- tributions as well as financial. As well as continuing with the annual appeals, several new projects were introduced. Among the new projects, Christmas cards with balloons and ribbons were sent to the Ramabai Mission in India, early in the year. Also for the first time, donations were made of dressed dolls, clothes and used cards. A hanger drive in December met with much enthusiasm. Superb entertain- ment, with thanks to Priscilla Wright, and delicious home baking prepared by Branksomites, created another success at the Opheleo Bake Sale. The Annual Ramabai week at Branksome began with a broadcast by the committee describing the life of a young Indian girl at the mission. This, along with constant reminders by posters, aroused eager participation among the classes for the honour of winning the Class Scuffle. The Annual Lenten Collection brought the year to a successful end. YEAR BOOK, 1 958 Page 1 7 Owing to the active support of the whole school, the Opheleo com- mittee feels that this year has been successful in money raising for the many missions and especially in developing closer ties with the Ramabai Mission. Perhaps the greatest reward is the knowledge that we, at Brank- some, have shared our laughter with those in other lands.

The entire school dressed in the traditional green Hunting Stewart intermingled here and there with a splash of red, took up the strains of the beautiful processional, ' ' Once in Royal David ' s City, the first verse of which was sung by Marion Cox, Caroline Stanley-Porter, Norma McLean and Margot Lathrop. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Coutts, the programme consisted of carols such as, ' ' Glory to God in the Highest sung by the Junior School, excerpts from Benjamin Britten ' s Ceremony of the Carols interpreted by the Senior Choir and Rejoice and Be Merry, a sequence of eight carols performed by the Senior School. As a fitting climax to the thrilling Christmas music, Mary, Joseph and the Babe, accompanied by the three Wise Men appeal in pageant above the Chancel while the whole school sang the joyous carols. The impressive recessional As With Gladness Men of Old followed by the Senior School and the congregation singing Angels from the Realms of Glory brought to an end another long-to-be-remembered Branksome Hall Carol Service. YEAR BOOK, 1 958 Page 1 9 THE UNITED NATIONS REPORT On Saturday, January 25, seventeen happy Branksomites from Third and Fourth Form left the Provincial Parliament Buildings with the day ' s proceedings. These girls, members of the Malayan Delegation to the Fourth Model United Nations Assembly, had been working since early September gather- ing information, helping to compose resolutions and taking part in weekly Sunday discussion groups. Their knowledge of the appearance, politics and culture of Malaya was also increased greatly when four of the girls were fortunate enough to attend a dinner at Simpson ' s Arcadian Court on October 23; here they met Mr. Lewis Perinbam, a charming gentleman MISS READ AND SUB-PREFECTS Front row; Jane Robertson, Hilary Moss, Miss Read, Annabel Mcintosh, Mary Jull.

Page 20 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN from Malaya, who was extremely patient while answering their numerous questions on his country. Then on Friday night, January 24, representatives from forty Toronto schools met in the legislative chamber of the Parliament Buildings. After the keynote address was given by Marcus Long, M.A., Ph.D., debating and the introduction of the resolutions followed. The topics discussed were: Cyprus, the Draft Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Togoland under French administration, and Disarmament. The debating adjourned at ten o ' clock until nine o ' clock Saturday morning, when individual committee meetings were held, followed by a luncheon at Hart House. At five o ' clock the closing ceremonies ended the Assembly. Later that evening a dance for the delegations was held. The Malayan Delegation feels that the sense of satisfaction and accom- plishment we had as we left the Parliament Buildings was a fitting tribute to the success of this year ' s Assembly. We hope that next year ' s delegation may fare as well as we did. The Malayan Delegation to the Fourth Model General Assembly of the United Nations was as follows : Speakers: Jocelyn Ayers, Nadine Griffiths, Patricia Jacobs, Isolde Koenig. Alternates : Gail Adams, Susan Coxeter, Caroline Stanley-Porter, Nora Sterns. Observers: Ida Crummey, Bonnie Kreutzer, Katherine MacDonald, Jane Robertson, Beverly Bothwell, Susan Brown, Judith Ireland, Penny Peterson, Judith Sykes. The Delegation would like to thank Mrs. Coulter, our staff adviser for her assistance. THE U.N. CLUB This past year marked the initiation of the Branksome Hall United Nations Club. Our activities, although limited by time included several interesting debates in the New Library. Members were also enlightened by the articles in the ' U.N. Corner a section of the bulletin board con- taining pictures and articles on the United Nations and its agencies. The U.N. Club Executive was as follows : President: Patricia Jacobs. Vice-President: Nadine Griffiths. Secre- tary: Sandra Bell. Treasurer: Lorna Luke. Second Form Representative: Susan Brady. YEAR BOOK, 1 958 Page 21 SENIOR CHOIR REPORT During this eighth year of the Senior Choir many happy hours have been spent by its members practicing various types of songs. The seventy seven girls composing the Choir deserve full credit for an outstanding year. At the annual Carol Service, the Choir completed Benjamin Britten ' s ' Ceremony of Carols which they undertook in part last year. Their selec- tions ranged from the rousing notes of ' Wolcome Yol to the soft strains of the lullaby ' ' Ballulalow . The second term entailed practices for the Kiwanis Festival. The en- semble, made up of twelve girls from the Choir brought honours to the school by winning first place in their class. On Saturday, March 1st, the Senior Choir sang at the Festival, having chosen ' ' The Butterfly and the moving Song of the Shadows for the competition. With exceptional SENIOR AND INTERMEDIATE CHOIR EXECUTIVES Seated: Margot Lathrop (President, Intermediate Choir), Gail Adams (President, Senior Choir). Standing: Nancy Schleihaif, Linda Lewis, Susan Coxeter, Lynn Williams. Page 22 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN marks of 90 and 87 given to them, the Choir missed first place by one point ! However, the many girls who supported them at Eaton Auditorium heard an exceptionally fine piece of singing. A special Choir concert will be held later this spring. The programme will consists of songs depicting the different seasons of the year. A hard working and efficient Choir executive deserve congratulations, and under the excellent and inspiring leadership of Mrs. Coutts, with the accompaniment of Miss Lee, the Senior Choir has had a very successful year.

LIFE ABROAD Sherborne School for Girls, Dear Branksome: Sherborne, Dorset. Whoever said ' ' this green and pleasant land certainly knew what he was talking about. I have been here over six months now and have grown to love England and especially Sherborne more and more each day. During the summer I had the most maddening experience of walking into a department store and being immediately whisked off to the export department. The first step, of course, was to buy a pair of ' Wellies ' (WelHngtons which are very high, stout rubber boots a la Dorset farmer.) At first they looked fearfully new and shiny, but I am gradually getting mud splattered all over them and taking off the shine by wading through puddles and standing in the rain ! They are also put through general batterings by regular walks to Tlum Pud ' (a nearby hil l which really does look like a plum pudding.) The next thing was to become terribly gamesy. This was a most diffi- cult problem for which I prepared myself by acquiring a pair of ' lax boots ' (rather like black gym shoes with the addition of thick rubber treads), a hockey stick (a smaller version of an ice hockey stick), and a pair of hockey pads (to protect my shins from stray balls and inevitable bashes.) Thus armed I set out to learn the game of field hockey which, I soon discovered, involves running at top speed up and down a hundred yard pitch while prodding an elusive and extremely hard ball. All this goes on for forty minutes at a time with no time out at all. However, despite its exhausting effects, it is ' jolly ' good fun, good for the waistline and what could be more English than mollocking about the green games fields of Sherborne. Oh, I must tell you about the time that they decided that I might make a good goalie. Strapping on my huge cricket-like pads I literally tripped on to the field where I was presented with a goal about three times the size of an ice hockey net which I was meant to defend. Needless to say we lost and I now play right wing, (an easy-to-play-posi- tion near the edge of the pitch making it very simple to escape any contact Page 32 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN with the ball.) I am now looking forward to learning to play cricket in the summer term . . . that should complete my English education! Then there was the matter of eating the right things, crumpets and suet pudding being of prime importance. ' ' Tea is a most delightful institu- tion when one can discuss the latest gossip, eat enormous amount of bread and jam and realize the need for another game of hockey to counteract the resultant effects on one ' s figure. Another art which one must develop is to be able to stand in the rain without noticing that it is raining. This requires much practice, but for- tunately there is an unlimited supply of rain in which to practice. The only remaining problem is that of acquiring an English accent and, I am told, that in this I have failed miserably. However I am making some progress with my English vocabulary and now find myself referring to lorries (trucks) grips (Bobby pins) and lifts (elevators). I have also to insert ' jolly ' , ' super ' and ' smashing ' as often as possible. Except for one thing, the spirit of friendliness and hospitality which is a part of both Sherborne and Branksome, the two schools are quite, quite different. For instance, there are not nearly as many leaves here and only the Prefects are allowed to take one weekend each term. There are, however, so many activities within the school that one ' s time is fully occu- pied. There is an indescribable atmosphere peculiar to the rolling green countryside of Dorset, the stone and school buildings, the quiet splendor of Sherborne Abbey and the cloaked figures of students walking along the shaded paths between the buildings; an atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else and which would, indeed, be quite out of place elsewhere. This royal throne of kings, this scepter ' d isle . . . This precious stone set in the silver sea. My love to all of you, CATHY CLARK. Dear Sherborne; Every time I see a Prefect, in her bright red kilt, coming down the corridor I unconsciously stop talking, slow down and adjust the length of my kilt. The first two are reactions from Sherborne training; here the corridors are quite the best place for talking and everyone runs down them of course! The second occurs through fear; my kilt is a little on the short side and it is quite possible that I could be made to kneel down then and there and have its length solemnly measured. Whenever the bell goes to end school (as early as 2:30!), I rush over to Sherb (where I board) and change out of my uniform, ready to go down to Queen ' s. (Branksome ' s favourite restaurant.) Most days, it is packed with school girls, busily eating french fries (chips) toasted Danishes (delicious but very fattening, toasted iced buns.) and drinking Coke. At night, the eating starts again with after-study feasts of cakes, chicken and turkey, bread etc. — no wonder Branksome ' s boarders are YEAR BOOK, 1 958 Activities at Branksome Page 34 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN plump (nightly exercises and calorie charts feature everywhere as part of the non-stop Battle of the Bulge ! ) Quite a few of the day girls bring cars to school and park them out- side Sherb; they are typically large and very brightly coloured and they all have radios inside (Two English Morris Minors or Austins can park very easily at one Canadian parking Meter.) A lot of different sports are played here (NOTE: for the unenergetic: — they are not compulsory!) and everyone joins in very enthusiastically. In the fall (autumn) we play basketball, which is quite like net ball, but much faster. Every so often throughout the game, ' time-out is called and everyone collapses, panting on the ground to rest, although there are long pauses at quarter, half, and three-quarter time too ! In Branksome I have found how friendly all Canadians are, and, during the holidays, how hospitable and kind they are. No one could pos- sibly say that Canada is a cold, unfriendly land ; every one is always ready to help other people and share their happiness with them. Although this year, must come to an end and I will have to leave Canada, I shall never forget my life at Branksome. May people always say The Maple Leaf Forever! Love, HILARY MOSS e amus Page 36 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN MY AUNT ROSE Undoubtedly each of us has run into her in one form or another. We have greeted her with an unsuccessfully attempted cheerful smile on our faces while we have prayed in vain for a cyclone or a bomb to distract her attention while we slipped stealthily away to a hidden place of refuge. She is in every bridge club, on every committee, at every party, and no social function would be complete without her beaming countenance and effusive greetings. She may be your friend, your enemy, a distant acquain- tance or the lady next door, but in my case she is Aunt Rose. Whenever Mother says timidly, ' ' Your aunt is coming to-morrow for dinner. Father suddenly remembers a long-standing engagement which will make it impossible for him to be home until ten o ' clock, my brother confesses that he has forgotten to mention that he will be eating at his friend ' s house to-morrow night, and with Mother looking pleadingly at me with a look that says, ' ' You are my last hope, I become furious with my brother for stealing my excuse and admit that I have no commitments for the fateful evening. Aunt Rose usually arrives promptly at six o ' clock in a wave of taffeta and a heavy scent of Chanel No. 5 and Johnston ' s baby powder ( to keep my skin soft and fresh. ). She plants a wet kiss on our respective cheeks and tosses her mink stole on a chair saying in a very mournful tone, A dime a dozen, my dears, mink stoles are a dime a dozen now. Even my charwoman and the fishmonger ' s wife are wearing them. Out of the corner of my eye I see Mother, who is neither a charwoman nor a fish- monger ' s wife looking longingly at the beautiful silver-grey mink thrown so carelessly on the chair. After the preliminary gushings are over we sit down to enjoy the sumptuous meal which Mother started to prepare before I went to school this morning. Aunt Rose arranges her several layers of taffeta-swashed flesh and squeezes herself into a chair, telling Mother that she has taken altogether too much trouble over the dinner and that she simply cannot eat any rich food, because she is on a very strict diet. As she solemnly explains this, she devours a mound of mashed potatoes, a large serving of green beans, four slices of roast lamb, two pieces of bread, strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and two cups of coffee with cream and five lumps of sugar. To keep my disposition sweet, she titters and looks around for some appreciation of her wit. Mother and I both utter a polite little remark and Aunt Rose beams with satisfaction, her beady eyes almost disappearing among pink rolls of fat. After the dinner is over, she grandly tells Mother not to touch the dishes I ' ll help you with them dear, after we have had a little chat in the living room. The little chat consists of Aunt Rose telling us the details of her last operation and of the latest funeral she has attended, while Mother and I insert noncommittal remarks such as yes, no, or how terrible! Suddenly Aunt Rose looks at her watch in great agitation, and YEAR BOOK, T958 Page 37 . u- n c 0 - ° o U -D (J .. a ui _ tt) o o Q u i : o o o , .

She bestows upon us another wet kiss and sails out of the house and down the path. When the two escapees return home, they find a silent house, two slumbering women upstairs, and a subtle note tacked on the door, inform- ing them that ' ' the dish towels are on the rack, and the detergent is in the cupboard under the sink! SANDRA SIMPSON, VA. THE CHRISTMAS TREE A Tree Once stood On Christmas Eve, As sad as he could be. He cried because it Was too late to be a Christmas Tree. The other trees had gone before To wear their Christmas dress. And a silver star to signify All Christmas happiness. But, hark . . . the sound of sleigh bells Tinkling gaily in the cold, clear air; The tree stood straight and proud, and hoped That he ' d be noticed there. The sleigh flashed by ; he hung his head and sighed : ' ' Alas, nobody cares for me! the lonely fir tree cried. But suddenly, as midnight struck, a tension filled the air He slowly raised his boughs in awe. From high There came the glorious sound of Heavenly choirs Who sang with tenderness and love their Christmas lullaby. Silent night. Holy night, that music, softly sung; The timid animals drew nigh from near and far. They knelt and in their hearts they knew of Christmas peace, For just above that tree there stopped and shone — The Christmas Star. CARENE SMITH, IIA. YEAR BOOK, 1958 Page 39 ON LEAVING BRANKSOME Fortunate are we Who sit beneath the shade Of a sheltering branch of Scotland, The tree of tradition made : ' ' Keep veil ye rod, The lintel and kilt. The clans and banners, To do as thou wilt ; But remember always The school and her motto. And ne ' er any day Defile her name. Keep thy loyalty, Spirit and love For friends and leaders. And gifts far above Those received by others Less blest than we ; And always be proud And thankful to be A pupil at Branksome, A school of fame In grace and honour. Hold high its name. In years to come, We ' ll grateful be To have been a part Of that great shade tree ; May its sheltering boughs Protect us all, As we keep well the Road, Proud Branksome Hall. JOANNE VALIANT, VA. THE STALLION Late, late on a moonless night, A riderless stallion paws the ground ; He lifts his head and whinnies, He trots impatiently round and round. His glossy coat is streaked with froth or blood ; His body vibrates with a mighty shiver. A racing heart throbs in his heav- ing breast; His sensitive nostrils are torn; they quiver. Again he lifts his glorious head And whinnies in anguish and pain. He nudges a cold, stiff body, — Protects it from the rain. This proud black steed a vigil keeps. His soul has been misled. He bravely stands on watch, but Whom he guards is dead. CARENE SMITH, IIA. CANDLE Her heart bounds up as The silver beams of the moon creep in Through the frosty pane, and the crickets Sing and the wind murmurs Across the frozen marsh. She sighs, and puts forth her arms, and Softly gliding towards the icy walls Her fingers find the burning eyes Page 40 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN And wander gently over the gaunt face Of the dying man. She trembles and knows that She is the quivering cord Holding his soul to the friendless earth. Tears race down her pallid cheeks. Her body shrinks as the writhing lips Of the enemy sweep past her. She sees The savage eyes, the empty heart, And with a cry she draws in her fading arms, And with a tremor dies. Death clutches two hearts in his grasping hand And chuckles. ISOLDE KOENIG, IVA. A VICTORY A siren wailed and suddenly The ravaged town was filled with dread. The people, full of terror, screamed As from the blood-stained streets they fled. Then in the turmoil of the night, A piercing cry was heard by all Who turned to see a frightened boy; The child had seen his mother fall. They found their shelter dim and cold. And strove to sleep throughout the night. The morrow dawned; they went abroad To find the wreckage of the fight. No homes had they, now all was gone — - And yet not all, there still was life. They did not leave their native land But stayed to carry on the strife. The brighter days were still ahead. They knew they could be free once more. They fought with strength until at last, Their land was peaceful as before. CAROL ROBERTSON, IIA. SONNET ON THE PASSING DAY While on this lofty hill I stand and view The wondrous beauties of the world around, I listen to the heart of nature pound And thoughtfully the passing day review. The friendships, loyalties, moments pleasant and gay. Which through the weary mind do happily run As tiny children in the month of June, Through meadows green and valleys lush do stray. But as these pleasing dreams more quickly pass, A sadder and more serious thought comes in Of moments when the light of love was dim. When cutting words through crowded rooms did flash. But life is just one memory aft ' another The happy and the sad together. MARILYN BOLTON, VB. YEAR BOOK, 1958 STOP HOUNDING PLEASE! Ads, poems, pictures and art. Get this, do that; please take heart From up on the stage comes a constant plea, ' Do something and hurry, the Slogan will flee!

Fourth will be fifth and they ' ll have to do it ! Lunch Hour Page 42 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE RIVER The birds were singing in trees overhead, The river was winding in its narrow bed RippHng and trickling over stones and rocks As it passed through fields of ani- mals in flocks Leaves were blown by the gentle breeze, And the river flowed on with grace and ease Through hills and valleys and for- est green Under drooping bushes where no one has been. The river travels on beyond the hill. All is quiet and all is still, Where it ends nobody knows For that ' s a place where nobody goes. JUDY WILSON, lA. THE SWAN She floats . . .

Chrysanthemums are blooming still; The birds are on the wing, Heading to the southern lands To wait there for the Spring. DENISE HINCHCLIFFE, lA DEATH Why is it that we humans in our youth. Reject, despise, ward off This friend? He seems to be a monster blocking out The fight of day, And we lost souls do run about And try To hide ourselves from his devour- ing glance. He is no monster. He ' s a friend who in old age When we are weary of this daily trudge. Shall take us in his ghostly arms And let us sleep The eternal sleep of peace. Nay, marvel not poor fool That one day you Will look with eager eyes For his approach Whom now you dread. YEAR BOOK, 1 958 And when your faltering eyes behold This self -same angel coming nigh You shall be glad and inwardly rejoice That your release from this dark tomb Is come. KATHERINE ADAM, IIIA. THE DESERT The howl of the wild sandy winds, The dunes of barren sands. The dark forsaken mascots Of the desert ' s lonely lands. The mysteries of Shangri-la, Ancient Arabic bands. The strange and mystic people Of the everlasting sands. Camel trains from the Orient, With spices, silks and riches, Oases with palm trees And the sudden flash-flood ' s ditches. Land formations changing. Unknown cities buried, Wild sandstorms blowing All, by endless time are carried. JANET LONG, IB. THE TREE The wind warped pine had scaled the peak Its gnarled form seemed to stretch Although in vain, it reached above To clouds it could not catch. When suddenly from out the North Chill winds began to howl, They screeched, it seemed, o ' er all the earth As Winter shook Her cowl. Page 42 Like Furies loosed from Nemesis hand The blinding bhzzards blew, The malignant missiles swirled about And hid the pine from view. The whining wind shook through the limbs ' Till to the naked eye This weird, wild, witchman of the trail Was lost against the sky. ELIZABETH HEAD, IIIB. AN ONNY MOUSE A feline stranger at my door Sits waiting patiently for me. She ' s curled content upon the floor, A twitching whisker I can see. There is one sharp clawed paw laid out, Two pointed ears a-listening; A long soft tail curled round about And half-closed eyes a-glistening. All of a sudden she can hear Clink of a saucer full of fish ; Temptation ' s more than she can bear — Good, now she ' s gone to taste the dish. It ' s safe to venture out at last; Tabby has gone to eat her meal; The danger ' s over, the fear is past, But now you know how it can feel To be a mouse ! JUDY GIST, IIIB. THE WAY Here I am, Little me. All around Each tiny star Page 44 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Is shining forth Its tiny beam. But the myriads Of beams, taken As one great hght, Are but the smallest Twinkle in His kind eyes, The deep blue eyes of God. And now The race is on. Each country, flaunting Power, shows Its weakness, Trying, failing To feel these beams Beneath its feet. We have been told To seek God, But is this the way ? Is this the Way? KATHERINE McEACHERN, IVA VIGIL They shivered And drew closer to the fire, Spoke loudly To give each other cheer. The sheep bleated And huddled together for warmth When lo; the star appeared — Discomfort forgotten in fear of God. They watched And waited for the night. Always searching for the sign to draw near. The camels shuffled As the wind blew chill When lo ; the star appeared — Discomfort forgotten in awe of God. They prayed That they might find room. Each moved slowly To give the other rest. The donkey brayed. Sank gratefully into the straw When lo ! the star appeared — Discomfort forgotten in love of God. JOCELYN AYERS, IVA LIFE The Trail winds slowly onward To one far-distant goal; A life of fuller pleasures To feed the hungry soul. The trail may be a steep one With sadness ' round the bend; But accept the fate so fairly dealt And look unto the end. The trail may end abruptly Or quietly peter out — Follow the footsteps of One long ago And the Way you will never doubt. Anyway after Branksome I can always get a job washing dishes in a soda fountain! NADINE GRIFFITHS, IVA YEAR BOOK, 1 958 Page 45 HUMOUR IN UNIFORM Mrs. Perry: Asseyez-vous. Voulez-vous lire?

WELL I NEVER! One day while we were sitting eating potato chips in our room, (quite illegally of course ! ) Mrs. X crept stealthily down the passage and stopped to listen at our door; Is there anybody here? she asked. No said I. So, Mrs. X turned away and walked nonchalantly down the hall. As I came closer to her, I became all the more nervous. It was the night of the formal and I was supposed to introduce my date, John Smith, to Miss Read. I tried to persuade myself that there was nothing to be afraid of, but I just knew that I would make a mistake. Probably I would step on Miss Read ' s foot, or maybe trip over my own. Finally the moment came and I was next in line. Trembling, I stepped up and mumbled, Miss Read, may I produce John Smith?? Mrs. X was late in arriving for our Spanish class, and the noise attracted the attention of Miss MacNeill. The monitor did not have time to warn us of her approach, therefore we were startled. The sentence was dispersed with quickly. Miss MacNeill would return at 2.30 and decide our fate. A few minutes later our class commenced, Mrs. X having arrived, everyone was in a somewhat excited mood for it was Friday afternoon and we wondered if we would have to serve a detention. It was also the after- noon of the Branksome formal and I found my mind wandering as I thought of the evening which lay ahead. At this moment Mrs. X ' s voice pierced the air with the threat of an extra hour after school. My dreamy reply was Sorry I ' m all booked up ! -X- YEAR BOOK, 1 958 Page 47 THE MONTHLY BOARDER EDITOR: Hilary Moss. CONSULTANT: Mary Beacom. STAFF : Jackie Burroughs, Jane McMurray. The Sherb clock strikes twelve ; there is a noise of scratching pens and an urgent hammering of typewriters. It is dark except for a chink of light creeping under the door. 1st SPIRIT OF SHERB: What is that noise? Why is that hght on? Who is burning the midnight oil? 2nd SPIRIT OF SHERB: Sh! Don ' t disturb them. They are working hard. 1st SPIRIT : What are they doing and why are they hurrying so ? 2nd SPIRIT: It ' s Monthly Boarder night. Let ' s leave them in peace. To be right in the swim, every boarder reads the only paper written by her fellows especially for her enjoyment. She reads ' ' The Monthly Boarder. This journal contains everything a modern paper ought to; it has its own editorial articles about boarding at Branksome and, best of all, ' ' Ag ' s Column for the Lovelorn to which everyone with heartaches sends her problems for a personal reply from Ag. (Satisfaction never guaranteed, but Ag does try to please ! ) Seriously the Editors would like to thank all the boarders for their enthusiastic reception of the ' ' Monthly Boarder and an especially big thank-you is due to our anonymous printer. Keep reading boarders ! ! ! RECIPE FOR A FANTASTIC FARCE 1. Take one poor unsuspecting soul, mix in a bowl with a loud voice, patience and the slightest pinch of talent, and spice generously with flattery, and you come out with a director. (Well, at least, the title gives him a false sense of importance. ) 2. Slice as thin as possible a script. Cut out questionable quotes so the flavor will not be marred. (Teacher say that is the reason, but . . .) 3. Put one grade A large class in a sieve, press gently with persuasion and the cast seeps through. 4. To each actress add: 12 tons of elbow grease, 2 cases of laryngitis and 11 4 cups of tantrum, and 1 memorized Hne emerges. Ah, well! If at first you don ' t succeed, try, try, try, again. 5. Put all together in a theatre and cook for one hectic evening. 6. For icing, heat to a slow boil the class ' s enthusiasm, fervour, endurance and dauntless hope; pour into paint cans, stir and slosh on scenery. 7. If instructions are followed explicitly, the result will be one well done play. JUDY IRELAND, IIIA Page 48 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Homework not done! They ' ll never believe me!!!! I . . .

TEACfflBRS VS. STUDENTS On the tweny-seventh of Sep- tember, the ' ' illustrious Teachers Pets in red devil outfits played the Staff, dressed in converted tank- suits. Coach, Mrs. Coutts, sported black tails and a long white beard. It must be noted that Mrs. McLe- lan ' s game was much improved from last year with the exception of a few falls relieved immediately by the over-efficient Sherb. Ambu- lance Corps, led by Miss Forder. Page 50 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Two anonymous Branksomites one a gorgeo us blond and the other pig-tailed and freckled, tripped in at half time to keep everyone sup- plied with oranges. At the same time the 1st Team played some of last year ' s Grads, and needless to say ( ?) the diaper-clad 1st Team carried off the honours. It was a highly successful exhibition (of what?) WINTER BADMINTON AND BOWLING In the school Singles Tourna- ment, Marg Benson defeated Jane Robertson in a very exciting final match. In the Doubles Marg and Pixie Bigelow defeated Gail Adams and Libby Barnes. Special mention must be given to Marg Benson ' s trip to Vancou- ver where she participated in the Canadian Championships, advanc- ing to the semi-finals. In the school Bowling Tournament Anna Redditt came first ; Catherine Holmes came second. SWIMMING REPORT Since the Interschool Swim Championship originated in 1947, Branksome ' s slogan has unfortu- nately been Just wait ' til next year! However, this year we did the so-called impossible and brought the cup home and out of B.S.S. The team set a record in the Medley Relay. Judy Ireland placed first in the Senior Diving, choosing as her optional dives, the cutaway and front fiip. Mrs. Latimer and Miss Wahlroth YEAR BOOK, 1 958 Page 51 richly deserve praise and commen- dation. Let ' s keep the Cup in Branksome for the next eleven years ! ED. NOTE: In all fairness to B.S.S. we must admit that we tied with them for first place, keeping the Cup for six months. SPRING BASEBALL AND TENNIS Last year B.H.S. was represent- ed by the following doubles at the Interschool Tennis Tournament at Havergal: Marg Benson, Linda Nethery; Patricia Strathy, Diana Style; Barbara Langley, Molly Strachan ; Anne Ross and Heather Waldie; Marg and Linda; Gail and Ingrid won all their games, and the other teams assisted to put Branksome at the top of the final tally. In the baseball championship Branksome placed first ' ' by a long shot! In the school tournament, Marg Benson and Anne Ross won the Intermediate and Senior singles tournaments. Although the season is just starting as this goes to print, the courts are already jam- med and the baseball bats swing- ing. FIRST BASKETBALL TEAM Front row: Gail Adams, Margaret Benson (captain), Gail Burton. Second row-. Nora Stearns, Catherine McMullen, Betty-Lou Joynt, Marion Cox. Joan Henson. Page 52 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN CLAN ACTIVITIES BASKETBALL Never can this writer remember seeing more enthusiasm than that shown on the courts this fall. Clan practices began as soon as school did and in the A, B, and C classes, the exciting games were well sup- ported by all clan members. In the final tally the Douglas A and C teams placed first, and the Mac- Gregor B team was tops in that class. BADMINTON AND BOWLING Under Miss Smith ' s organization the clans trooped down to St. Paul ' s on two successive days to compete for the Badminton and Bowling championships. First place in both the Badminton singles and doubles was won by the Campbell clan and the Bowling was won by MacGregor. VOLLEYBALL The net was up and the gym overflowing to watch the finals of the clan volleyball tournament; when it was all over, MacGregor was the winning clan.

YEAR BOOK, 1 958 Page 53 Some of Our Athletic Pastimes Page 54 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Outsiders Impressions on the Clan Gathering When I was invited to the Clan Gathering, immediately I pictured the scene — the smooth green turf, the dignified athletes and the re- strained though appreciative au- dience. As I walked down Mt. Plea- sant the noise grew louder and I was just turning back when my hostess bumped into me and began to drag me to my fate. ' ' Hurry, she shouted, ' ' It ' s started! I knew as my heart sank, where the noise was coming from. When I saw the sticky clay path I was horrified. (I don ' t know how I managed the descent, although I can still re- member being pushed up.) The girls — there were about eight crowds of them, all standing apart and looking as though they hated each other. The centre of attrac- tion was eight teams all rolling on the ground and displaying the most feminine green bloomers I have ever seen. The noise was over- powering and it seemed as if every group was shouting something dif- ferent. I was dumped on a plot of vegetation and from there I no- Skiing? At Collingwood ticed for the first time that each group had a banner with a Scot- tish name on it. Suddenly the noise died down and stopped — well, died down. Race followed race and I realized that these were all team events. When the final results were to be announced, a deadly hush fell for the first time. As third place was read out, a subdued roar broke out; as second, a minor earth- quake; and when first was given pandemonium broke loose and about sixty girls — kilts flapping and banners waving ran unhesi- tatingly up that treacherous path for their prize. My own progress was painful, but I ascended slowly with aid from behind me. I went home a sadder and wiser woman and considerably deafer too. EDITOR ' S NOTE— Scott won first place and second place went to Mc- Leod, while Ross took third place. WIND Across lone prairie raced the wind, Twisting, turning, in a freezing frenzy, The same had rocked the northern pine; Had harassed waters cold and deep; Had carried drifts to earth ' s warm sod. From whence did it come. This whirling ghost, that bends and breaks Strong branches, and ne ' er stops ' Tis all the world is at its feet? From Heaven or Hell? We know not that. But only its cruel hunger.

Also the sportsmanship shown by every member was wonderful. The fifth team wishes the best of luck to the team next year. The players were as follows: Forwards — Faith Harrington, Donna French, CaroU Campbell, Gill Davies (captain). Guards — Susan Hamilton, Susan Broadhead, Bonnie Aylesworth, and Charlotte Empringham.

The Junior Team was well represented, and placed well due to the helpful assistance given them by Mrs. Latimer, Miss Smith and Miss Wahlroth. THE WOODS As I went a-walking through the woods Many strange sights did I see. The birds were busy making their nests, High up in the maple trees. The rabbits were scurrying here and there, The deer stood by and looked. The little grey squirrel nibbled at nuts. While the fisherman a trout had hooked. The trees and flowers were at their best The grass was a beautiful green. The bees and insects were buzzing about. While the setting sun was seen. MAUREEN ROBERTSON, Grade 6 THE SONG OF THE SEA SHELL I strolled along the seashore At the close of day, I picked up a beautiful empty shell The waves had left in play. The frail little barque seemed empty; Yet back in its secret walls Lie myst ' rious tales of romance, In answer to Ocean ' s call. A Typical Scene in Boarding I gazed at its wondrous beauty. Then held it close to my ear, Tis said they each have a message Of faith, of hope and cheer. Out from its pearly cavern A sweet voice softly rang. And my soul was filled with glad- ness By the song the seashell sang. VICKI KIRBYSON, Grade 8B YEAR BOOK, 1958 Page 57 BOOKS Books are keys to knowledge, You use them every day. They come in handy in college, And help to show the .vay. There are Fairy Tales, mysteries and animal books. Books for young and old. Of course there are books for all the cooks, With recipes that they hold. Then there is the old, old book Which is called the Holy Bible. It is found in almost every nook, And has no other rival. RANDA HIRST, Grade 6 SNOWMAN I built a handsome snowman As handsome as could be He had two eyes and a great big nose, Just like you and me. He had a hat and broomstick. And three cold buttons too ; He couldn ' t see with his eyes, be- cause. They were stuck on him with glue ; He couldn ' t walk, he couldn ' t move, he had no flesh or self, But I still like him, ' cause know what? I made him all myself !

Page 58 c4u tog raph YEAR BOOK, 7 958 Page 59 Alumnae News At Lac Beauport, Quebec, a most interesting conference was held during the first two weeks of April, 1958, known as the Second Pugwash Conference of Nuclear Scientists. It was sponsored by Mr. Cyrus Eaton, whose Nova Scotia home is in Pugwash, where the first conference was held. He is indeed to be congratulated on arranging such a fine and worth while event. Scientists v ere present from all over the world. Their theme was ' ' The Dangers of the Present Situation in the Atomic Arms Race and Ways and Means to Diminish Them. It was deemed advisable to have fifty sponsors from the field s of education, medicine, the church, the law, and the business world, forty- nine men were chosen and one woman. Miss Read! Our Principal gave a dinner in February honouring the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Honourable Mr. J. Keiller Mackay and Mrs. Mackay and her brother, the Honourable Mr. Justice John E. Read and Mrs. Read. It was indeed a gala occasion with a strong Scottish flavour! A piper was on hand to pipe the guests in and out of the gymnasium, where the dinner was held. After the repast Constance Cann Wolf, who came from Philadelphia for the event, accompanied by her sister Marion Cann Andolsek, gave a most thrilling account of her hobby ' ' ballooning . She brought with her a number of interesting pictures which were thrown on the screen. As Connie is one of very few women indulging in this sport it was an unique experience to hear her account. An interesting event took place at noon, April twenty-third, when four sections of the School Library were dedicated. These are in memory of Miss Violet Robinson, a member of the staff for many years, Dora Olive Thompson, a former pupil, Frances Chase, Head Girl 1946 and Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McLeod, the former having served on the Board of Directors. Miss Read said a few appropriate words about those honoured. Dr. Gilbert Robinson, a nephew, unveiled the plaque with Miss Robinson ' s name on it; Mrs. W. H. Bleasdell, a sister, that for Dora Thompson, Miss L. B. Chase for her niece, Frances, and Mrs. W. R. Smallpiece, a sister of Mrs. McLeod ' s, for Mr. and Mrs. McLeod. Miss Read ' s dinner for the Alumnae was held April twenty-sixth and was, as always, a very successful event. The retiring President, Shirley McEvoy Bell, gave a most comprehensive account of Alumnae affairs and presented the slate of the nominating committee. Peggy Essery Andrachuk spoke about a bazaar, of which she is General Convenor, to be held in November, 1959. On behalf of the Page 60 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Alumnae she congratulated the President for her splendid leadership during the last two years. 1958 marks the fifty-fifth year of the founding of the School and this was celebrated by the lighting of eleven candles, one for every five years. The President kept up a running commentary about events which occurred during these periods. Amid great applause Miss Read ht the first candle and the others were lit by Lillie Shannon Plant, Helen Gibson Dafoe, Erie Sheppard Catto, Christine Auld West, Irla Mueller, Gwynneth Sinclair Powell, Helen Franks, Mary Craig Tasker, Isobel Coulthard, and this year ' s Head Girl, Jacquehne Burroughes. Looking to the future, a twelfth candle was lit by Miss Phillips who received a great ovation as she went about her task. Miss Read then addressed the assembly. As always everyone listened with great interest as she spoke of the School and plans for the future. Following is the new Executive: Hon. President — Miss Read. President — Gwynneth Sinclair Powell. Vice Presidents — Lois Plant Barron, Mona Le Gallais French. Recording Secretary — Rhoda McArthur. Alumnae Secretary — Ainslie McMichael. Treasurer — Eve King.

Lillie Shannon Plant paid a tribute to Miss Read and, on behalf of the girls present, moved a hearty vote of thanks for her gracious hospitality. One of the most ambitious, as well as one of the most successful, events ever sponsored by the Alumnae Association was the Bazaar held at the School, Wednesday, November sixth. So much work was done by so many people that it is an impossible task to mention everyone. The School undertook to sell tickets and their enthusiasm as well as the results were unbounded. Peggy Essery Andrachuk was the General Convenor, she did a most colossal job and did it superbly. She was assisted by the President, Shirley McEvoy Bell. Mrs. John McArthur and Mrs. Stephen Turner, though not members of the Alumnae, were good enough to help, they were in charge of flower arranging and record selling. Other convenors were: — Isobel Coulthard, Jean Wahlroth, Isabel Adams YEAR BOOK, 1958 Page 61 Mcintosh, Christine and Auld West, Jean Peacock, Ehzabeth Coulthard, Pamela Pearse Biggs, Vera Jory, Jane Watson, Eleanor Henderson Twardouski, Joan Mitchell FHntoft, Janet Davidson Omand, Jane Morgan Brooker, Mona LeGallais French, Jean Macdonald Bennett, Patricia Gundy Patterson, Evelyn McAlpine Pogue, Helen De Jardine Brokenshire, Katharine Waterman Featherston, Mary Wilder Macdonald, Joan Ellis Goad, Joan Tamblyn Waddell, Betty Wilkinson Marshall, Margaret Henderson Corrigan, Ehzabeth Chambers Pearce, Bey Boyd Glover, Sheila Craig Waengler, Jane Lumbers McCrimmon, Clara May Gibson Kilgour. These with sixty-two Year Representatives, too numerous to men- tion individually, undertook to telephone their various classmates re- garding donations and tickets. Mrs. Alan Burton was gracious enough to declare the bazaar open at two o ' clock and it was not long before the tables were swept bare. Tea was served in the dining-room, Lois Plant Barron was in charge and was ably helped by members of the Alumnae and the Fourth and Fifth Form girls. Over three hundred firms were contacted and most of them were good enough to send donations which were used as lucky draws. It is proposed to hold another bazaar in November, 1959.
