DELEGATION REPORT Early in October nineteen girls were chosen from third and fourth forms to represent Branksome, and take part in the fifth model United Nations General Assembly. This year our country was the newly-formed Ghana. Every other Sunday at Victoria College there were meetings with other delegations. We were divided into four groups to discuss the main topics brought before the Assembly: Territorial Waters, the Formosa Crisis, U.N. Special Fund and Segregation. The weekend of January sixteenth was the Model Assembly. On Fri- day night there was a debate to decide the topics of discussion for the following day. The meeting adjourned until Saturday morning, when the discussion groups on the four topics retired the committee to prepare and amend the resolutions to put before the General Assembly in the after- noon. After lunch at Hart House debates followed at a furious pace until the session was adjourned early in the evening. We would like to thank Mrs. Coulter for her help and encouragement. The Ghanese delegation to the Fifth Model Assembly was as follows : Speakers: Judy Gist, Susan Brown, Judy Sykes and EHzabeth Head. Alternates: Judy Ireland, Linda Matthews, Katharine Adam and Penny Peterson. Observers: Carol Robertson, Janet Ament, Barbara Clark, Barbara Langley, Norma McLean, Jane McKinnon, Carene Smith, Isabel Miller, Lynn Robinette, Libby Barnes, Martha Corrigan and Clare Crummey.

YEAR BOOK, 1959 Page 19 UNITED NATIONS CLUB REPORT Executive: President — Sandra Bell. Vice-President — Barbara French, Secretary-Treasurer — Joan Dixon. Many time consuming activities at Branksome, often make it difficult for the U.N. Club to have meetings. There were, however, several inter- esting opportunities for the club members this year. Firstly, a few girls who enjoy correspondence, received pen-pals from foreign countries : Japan, Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria were some of the fascinating countries to be visited by letter. Every girl in the Club had a chance to visit New York this Easter and some are fortunate enough to be going. Folders were sent to the Club telling about this organized tour, which of course includes a trip to the United Nations Building. Shortly after Christmas a debate was held in the library, under the heading, Resolved that there should be a world government. Many good points were brought forward on this controversial subject. I trust everyone has taken note of the U.N. Corner. Barbara Clark and her crew have worked hard and succeeded in keeping it interesting and colourful. Although this is only the United Nations Club ' s second year, we hope it will continue to grow, becoming an important part of Branksome life. THE SUB-PREFECTS First row. C. Stanley-Porter, J.
