EASTER LILY IN OUR GARDEN Fair lily, you stand so straight, so tall, so white; you lift your golden heart ; your gentle lips turn up to echo celestial choirs ; so humble; your arms reach out to welcome all the world; so pure. You wait, God ' s unfound gift to men. Love, Joy, Peace. Alas, your beauty shines unseen. We men, we know not yet to stand so tall, to raise our heart to Heaven. Too proud, we Easter Lily — Beverley Trent, IV Arts Graduation 1958 dare not touch the ground ; humility we shun. We laugh. We sneer, and wrap around the greyish cloak of shade to hide our sin, our fear. Yea, we know to fear, but still we stumble on, our head bent low, our soul so cold. We men, we are many. And yet. We stand alone. Fair lily, guide us from our alien path. Let men once more stand straight, stand tall. ISOLDE KOENIG, VA.

One evening this year, Branksome ' s choir had the pleasure of singing in the Kiwanis Festival. Arriving at the Auditorium, a number of us went into the cloakroom. When we came out we passed a group of small boys, members of a rhythm band. As we passed I noticed one boy poke his friend in the ribs and say, ' Hey, Tommy. Did you see all those Boy Scouts go by just now? The night of the Boarders ' Dance Main House was the scene of the usual disorder and mayhem. One of the greatest problems to be faced was the descent of the front stairs to the escorts below, particularly difficult if one was meeting a Blind Date, and had to smile weakly and keep balance at the same time. All managed except one girl, who tripped on the top stair and slid all the way down to land at her astonished date ' s feet.
