Courses are getting longer and standards higher so that teachers and students must make the most of every moment of the school day. Games, music, plays, organizations, social events, etc., have filled up the free time of almost everyone, v hile v e have had more than one distinguished visitor to remind us of the v orld outside our own bound- aries. Now the year, which in September promised to be so long, is almost over and soon we shall be singing our closing hymn, ' ' Let thy father— hand be shielding all who here shall meet no more . . . those returning make more faithful than before. To those who are graduating I would say that we hope that you will return to the School as often as you can, and keep us informed of change of address and marital status. Remember that we are always interested in what you are doing. Only one can get the prize for service but many of you qualify for it. We hope that you will continue to take an interest in others and support worthwhile projects in your communities and in the world, not living for yourselves alone. I am sure that you will not forget all that is implied in the School motto, ' ' Keep Well the Road . There is a poem, called The Pilgrim Way , by John Oxenham, who wrote our School song, that expresses this desire, which we feel is one of the characteristics of a true Branksomite . But once I pass this way, And then— and then, the silent Door Swings on its hinges — Opens — closes — And no more I pass this way So while I mo With all my might I will assay Sweet comfort and delight To all I meet upon the Pilgrim Way, For no man travels twice The Great Highway That climbs through darkness up to light. Through night To day. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 5 THE DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBERLAND Page 6 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN EDITORIAL Ever since the beginning of time, man has been trying to see beyond the horizon, and he is still trying. Prehistoric man was curious to see what was ' ' over the hill , and so he walked, taking his wife and family with him, over thousands of hills until the world was peopled. In the fifteenth century man was wondering what lay across the great ocean, beyond the horizon, and it was then that the New World was discovered. Surely there could be no more ? Man ' s insatiable curiosity was still master, and he was looking for faster methods to gain his objective. The horse, the bicycle, the car and then the aeroplane all appeared, and man was even more confounded to find that the invention and use of these instead of narrowing the horizon only broadened it. There are many horizons; horizons in art, literature, mathematics; and we must have an education not only to appreciate what has already been achieved, but also to look beyond these horizons, and to discover new boundaries for ourselves. We are now in the Space Age, trying still to see what is ' ' beyond , Man has developed through the ages because of horizons, and it is up to us, the coming generation, to gain the best education possible in order to make discoveries that will broaden the horizons of our successors. Only by doing this will we make our contribution to our country, and to the world. JUDITH GIST, Editor YEAR OOK, 1960 Page 7 Page 8 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE HEAD GIRL — JUDY IRELAND As this year strides to a close we have to think back with pleas- ure over our endeavours in aca- demics and sports — our fun and our friendships. Yet do you realize June marks not only the end of this school year but the close of an amazing decade during which so much has happened at Brank- some. Those of you who have been here during some of these ten years have seen one of the greatest and most active periods in the history of Branksome. Each one of you may be very proud of these accomphshments. The love, devoted spirit, and con- tinued support of you, the pupils of this school have helped to make Branksome Hall what it is today, so much more than a school. In 1950 the new class rooms by Buccleuch House were added and in 1954 new class rooms and a junior gymnasium were built at Readacres. The Library and new Science Laboratory were erected in 1956. Brank- some has received as welcomed visitors the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl of Dalkieth and his wife, Dame Flora McLeod and her twin grandsons, the Earl of Wemyss and this year the Duchess of Northumberland. In addition a great enthusiasm for the school and its activities has created many outstanding students, artists, musicians, athletes and pubhc speakers. I am sure those of you who will be here during the next decade will see Branksome rise to even greater heights. We the graduating class pass on to you that intangible spirit for which Branksome is famous. Keep its flame burning brightly through the Sixties. Up and On !

Page 14 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE INSTALLATION OF PREFECTS, SUB-PREFECTS AND CLAN CHIEFTAINS, OCTOBER 9th, 1959 Traditionally, the first ceremony of the school year was the colourful installation of prefects, when the new leaders of the school were officially installed. After the splendid procession of prefects, and sub-prefects, clan chieftains, teachers, and last year ' s prefects. Miss MacNeill reminded us of the four corner stones on which the school is built, and which we must uphold — truth, honesty, justice, and purity. Then each prefect was introduced, and her merits in such fields as sports, or art, or general helpfulness were cited. In shaking hands each girl pledged to serve Branksome Hall. A speech given by Mrs. Plant (Lily Shannon) was both amusing and instructive, for it pointed out how difficult it is to be a prefect, and what sacrifices a girl must make to be such a person. Our new Head Girl, Judy Ireland, was installed with thunderous applause and when she took the fiag from last year ' s Head Girl, Lynn Williams, she promised to uphold and carry on the fine tradition set by her predecessors. In the recitation of the School Prayer, and the singing of the school song, we expressed the hopes and ideals which every girl, prefect or not, strives to attain during the school year. V COMMERCIALS I have been asked to make this years ' annual report for V Commercial. My instructions being, to keep it short and strictly to the point . I ' ll promise to do both of these. For the year ' 59- ' 60, we have, I think, the smallest class in the school ; this assures a short report. Truthfully our achievements have been : — Victory in one basket-ball game. (That is with the combined effort of V Arts and ourselves.) — Two class-members gained their Bronze Medallion: Sue Ballantine and myself, and the latter also gaining the Senior Red Cross of Lifesaving. — We collected just over our quota for Ramabai. — Most important of all we hope that, in June, we will have some idea of the business world, and will be able to type and take shorthand notes, thanks to Mrs. Partridge. DIANE M. FERGUSON YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 15 INTER SCHOOL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP REPORT The I.S.C.F. has had a very good year at Branksome. We have seen new girls join the group, and are hoping to see more before this magazine goes to press. We have had missionary speakers, Bible studies and a film Teenage Witness . We had a very good weekend at ski camp during March, and it was encouraging to see so many of you there. I would like to thank all those who have stood behind us this year and special thanks to Miss Ruth Thompson, and Miss Forsyth for their very capable behind- the-scenes assistance in helping to make everything run smoothly.

Page 16 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN BETA KAPPA REPORT 1 could have danced all night seemed to be the theme on October 29th, as the boarders whirled to the music of Eaton ' s Bandbox, beneath a grinning array of pumpkins, witches, cats, and skeletons. Hallow ' een of course, and another Branksome Boarder ' s dance. No sooner was this affair over than we were plunged into the decorating preparations for the bi-annual Alumni Bazaar. When the dead- line arrived on November 11th, Branksome had captured the flavour of Paris, complete with dancing girls, apache dancers, and the Eiffel Tower. These were admirably done by our artists, Carole, Liz, and Marina, who posed as ' ' wandering artists during the bazaar, and sketched all comers. Viva La Fiesta ! La Fiesta Espanol, or the fourth and fifth form dance held in the common room on December 14th. Senor Jack Gregg supplied the music, and around the walls were dashing senors and dancing senoritas. The austere art of Ancient Egypt prevailed at the Pyramid Prom, our formal held on January 29th. Bert Niosi and orchestra played beauti- fully in front of a desert backdrop, and the gym was aswirl with blue, gold and white streamers, punctuated by the icy stares of stern Egyptian gods and goddesses. This was the last Beta Kappa project, as the Strawberry Festival and Graduation Dances are arranged by the fourth form and five arts respectively. Good luck to next year ' s Beta Kappa, may you enjoy your year as much as we have ours. OPHELEO REPORT A child ' s kiss set on thy sighing lips shall make thee glad, A poor man served by thee shall make thee rich, A sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong. Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense Of service which thou renderest. — Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The Opheleo Society is not just a group of a dozen or more girls, but is made up of the whole school, because we all are seeking to serve as best we can those who need our help, and therefore, this is your report which you helped to make a reality. In October, we began our work with the Annual Ramabai Week which was very successful. After much suspense the class competition was won YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 17 by lA with IV Arts and IIIA coming second and third. In early December, we collected old toys which were sent to Trinity Church to be mended and painted for the children of the downtown area for Christmas. Following the Christmas holidays, we collected old Christmas cards and after a great deal of work, we sent these along with some balloons and small woollen dolls to Ramabai for the little girls and boys to play with. In February, a collection of toys, still in good condition was made in the Junior School. This collection was on request by Joan Dixon for the Cathy Cart at the Princess Margaret Hospital. When patients come in for treatments and have their children with them, the children sometimes must wait for hours before their parents return and the purpose of the cart is to give the children something to occupy themselves with while they are waiting. They are allowed to take the toys home and therefore the cart must be replenished every so often. In late February, a Bake Sale, sponsored by the Opheleo Society with food provided by the school, was held, the proceeds of which went towards MISS MacNEILL, MISS READ AND THE PREFECTS Back Row: C.

YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 19 THE UNITED NATIONS CLUB REPORT The United Nations Club is organized to give members an outlet for expressing their ideas and an opportunity to be of service to United Nations projects. We feel that this year our members have assumed that responsibility of carrying out the club activities with great enthusiasm. Concrete support was given to the work of U.N.I.C.E.F. by the selling of greeting and note cards. The greatly appreciated sum of $230, collected by the club, was sent to the National Office of the United Nations Asso- ciation for the benefit of U.N.I.C.E.F. It should be noted that this was the largest contribution of all the Ontario Schools. The club also sold tickets to the film ' ' On the Beach and thereby contributed $45 to the World Refugee Organization. Pen pals have also added colour to our meetings. We are planning in the near future to form a debating team and the club welcomes any new girls interested in helping us. Many thanks to our staff advisor, Mrs. Coulter, who has been a strong backbone to our club. President: Barbara Clark. Vice-President: Jane Omand. Sec. -Treasurer: Patricia Wilson.

Page 20 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN | UNITED NATIONS DELEGATION REPORT For the past six years at the Parhament buildings in Toronto, a model United Nations General Assembly has been held, which is conducted precisely as its counterpart in New York. Students from 52 schools of Toronto and district participated in the Assembly this year. Every second Sunday at Victoria College, the students were divided into four groups to discuss the following topics: Disarmament, Outer Space, Technical Assistance, and Trusteeship. Branksome represented Canada this year, and we studied Canada in relation to these topics. All such preparations were put to the test on the weekend of January fifteenth and sixteenth, when the Model Assembly was held. Friday night following the opening ceremonies, a debate took place to determine what topics would be discussed, and the meeting was then adjourned until Saturday morning. At this time the Assembly dissolved into committees each discussing its respective topic, and endeavouring to pass resolutions. Following a luncheon at Hart House, the Assembly reconvened, and the committee findings were reported. From such an experience we have had an opportunity to observe how the United Nations functions, and we have gained a knowledge of the vital work that the United Nations is doing in the world of today. Our thanks go to Mrs. Coulter for her help and guidance. The Canadian Delegation to the sixth Model Assembly was as follows: Delegates: Carene Smith, Clare Crummey, Jane McKinnon, Janet Ament. Alternates: Norma McLean, Barbara Langley, Barbara Clark, Carol Robertson. Observers: Linda Lewis, Lynda Tait, Karyl Jamieson, Lilliana Berezowsky, Nancy Gelber, Di Walsh, Sue Ridgeway, Rosemary Weldon, Shelagh Hewitt. ISABEL MILLER, Delegation Leader. THE CAROL SERVICE On December 13, the 34th annual Carol Service was presented in St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church, that was filled with friends and parents who heard some of the lovliest carols known. Among them were, ' ' The Carol of the Bells , a part of the ' ' Christmas Oratorio , and Gloria in Excelsis Deo . A special highhght, was The three Kings , sung by three girls with a choral by the Senior Choir. It was agreed by all those who attended that the service was one of the most beautiful in many years. YEAR BOOK, I960 Page 21 SENIOR CHOIR REPORT Throughout the fall, the senior choir was busy preparing for the Christmas Carol Service. Now, however, at this time of going to press, we are looking forward to singing the Children ' s Crusade with the Men- delssohn choir, and the Bishop Strachan choir at Massey Hall. Walter Susskind will be the conductor, and we will be accompanied by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. All of our choir members are looking forward to this engagement, and have proved it by their continued enthusiasm, even at those extra Friday practices! The Spring Festival will be held again this year, at Easter. We trust that it will prove to be as good this year as it has been in the pas t. This year sees Barbara Langley as President of the choir, with Margot Lathrop as vice-president, and Carene Smith as Secretary Treasurer. The committee is: Penny Grey, Mary Langley, Marilyn McDowell, Norma McLean, Brenda McMurrich, Dale Thorn. CHOIR EXECUTIVES Carene Smith (Secretary-Treasure), Barb Langley (President), Mrs. Coutts, Margot Lathrop (Vice-President). 22 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN AN APOLOGY FOR A POEM (that didn t get written) Oh why, oh why did I undertake A poem for points at school to make ? I sat and pondered hard and long, But my pen refused to write a song. The sun came up, and the sun went down, And still the muse went on to frown. Dear friends of Arts class number four This state of things I do deplore. But midnight came and the lamp burned low. Without a poem I had to go. ELLEN CARRICK, IV Arts.

Page 30 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN BOARDING LIFE Main House Boarders A whole world goes on behind the impressive doors of Main House. Understanding, study, fun, participation, and learning to get along with others all comprise a busy year in ' ' Main . ' ' Main is renowned for its wonderful spirit, and this is manifested in the fact that we have many membe rs of school teams, choir members, pianists and very apt students in our midst. Of course pranks and practical jokes have been played, but this only helps to make life more interesting. Mrs. Cameron, our helpful and forgiving housemother has understood the jokes, and has helped in the granting of new privileges. We certainly all thank her for her understanding. To next year ' s Main House, we hope that you will all have as much fun as we did, and to you we leave. Bells, walk, honey, buns, Bloor, study pickles, laundryday. Bells . . . BOARDING! Sherborne House Boarders At the beginning of the year, the B.B ' s (Branksome Boarders) held their annual swimming meet, which was loads of fun. Ginny, Brooke Margot, and Judy organized the teams. After strenuous races — such as eating an orange under water, and swimming the length of the pool in one ' s pyjamas (serious stuff, you understand), we congratulated Ginny and her team mates on their victory. Shades of the History book no less appeared when the Main House girls challenged us to a basketball game. The Sherborne spirits (no com- ment) won all their games except one, which was a tie, which goes to show the old crocks aren ' t done in yet! Panic reigned! The fourth and fifth form dance, of course, accom- panied by orchids from unknown admirers (though they never did turn up) , and all our senoritas had a wonderful time! We could be heard all the way down to Bloor Street, at our Xmas party, which was held just before we left for home. Sandie led us on the piano, and we literally raised the roof. Candy canes, brownies, and a delicious cake were donated by those affected (with the Christmas spirit of course). Shivering Sherbites stood on the corner waiting for the light to change. The scene, preceded the breakfast party held at Sherb, after the formal. We were all pleasantly tired after the big dance, and sat in groups (of six and eight) talking, and listening to records. On a serious note. This has been a wonderful year in Sherborne, and our thanks go to Mrs. Maitland, for helping to make it so. THE SHERBORNE ROVING EYE, YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 31 Page 32 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE DAYS OF THE WEEK Year by year, week by week, hour by hour, the days pass by. When I was a small girl, the days had no particular meaning for me, but now each day has an individual personality and identity. Monday is an old man. His nose is always red, and his old black coat does not protect him from the icy wind. He walks with slow rheumatic steps, shuffling his feet along the side walk, probing ahead with his cane. Never does he reach his destination. The hours of Monday pass so slowly ! Tuesday is a middle aged woman, stout and sour. She pulls her hair into a tight knot, and wears dull grey shapeless dresses, and carries an old battered umbrella wherever she goes. Her apartment is conveniently situated on the middle floor. Here she can complain all day about the neighbours below her, and thump her broom all night on the ceiling at the neighbours above her. Her only love is for a small smelly high strung dog, and for a collection of weird plants. Wednesday is a man whom no one notices. He is the janitor for the museum and is happy in his work among the dead. In the same dreary routine he sweeps the ' ' Ancient Civihzation room and the ' ' Prehistoric room, at the same hour, night after night. So quiet is he that people cannot tell him apart from the ancient Egyptian mummies. Thursday is a sharp contrast to Monday. She skips along the side- walk, her red pigtails flying. Her eyes shine, and the many freckles that dust her cheeks and nose add to her inquisitive expression. Thursday is a Tomboy, looking forward hopefully to better days. Friday is a real man. He is tall strong and handsome, with dark curly hair, and he wears a red and black checked mackinaw. In the northern woods at his lodge he likes to hunt and fish and snow shoe. At night he lounges in his comfortable old chair in front of the fire, smoking his pipe, and reading his favourite book. Friday loves his lodge. Here he enjoys the weekends, and relaxes after the long hard week in the city. Saturday is very busy. The gang will be arriving soon, and she has countless things to do. She has to make sure there are enough soft drinks, that the potato chips are ready and that the favourite records are in order. Excitedly she looks forward to a carefree evening of fun, music, and dancing. Saturday is a bright and cheerful teenager of sixteen, think- ing only of the present and caring not for the coming years. Sunday is a tall striking woman. So beautiful is she that she brings the sunshine into each heart, warming and strengthening it. She carries herself with solemn dignity and although she is far superior to them, she does not hold herself aloof from the other days of the week. The nature of Sunday is lovely, for she is the day of rest and peace. When I think of the days as People they become more real. Yet still, hour by hour, week by week, year by year, the days pass slowly by. MARGOT VANDERPLEOG, lA. YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 33 Page 34 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING ' Tlease don ' t worry about me dear, I ' ll be all right. Don ' t worry . The soldier looked deep into his wife ' s eyes which were bright with tears. They stood for a long time as if in a dream saying nothing. The spell was rudely broken by the shrill hoot of the train whistle. The man crushed the woman to him for an instant, then knelt, and gently squeezed his small son ' s hand. ' Take care of your mother , he said quietly, and with a last despair- ing look, strode off down the long platform. Reaching the door of the coach he turned and waved. Then he was gone. It was many months later that the woman was interrupted in her house work by a sharp rap on the kitchen door. ' ' Be right there, she called cheerfully, as she went to the door, un- doing her apron. She opened the door with a smile, a smile which faded quickly when she saw the outstretched hand holding the oblong envelope. With trembling fingers she took the envelope, opened it, and drew out the pink slip of paper. With eyes already stung with tears she silently read : The Ministry regrets to inform you that ... There was no need to read any farther. Will there be any answer? came a flat monotone. For the first time she was aware of the blue jacketed messenger. No, there is no answer , she replied in a choked whisper. Thank you . The messenger saluted vaguely, and dwindled off down the lane through a fitful drizzle. The woman walked with heavy feet to the table, and sank down in a chair. Then the tears came, and she had no strength to stop them. By and by, exhausted by her grief, she slipped into a troubled sleep, and as her clenched fists relaxed, the crumpled telegram fell to the floor. She was aroused by her son ' s voice, which held a trace of fear. With great effort, she pulled herself together, and faced the child. In his hand he held the pink piece of paper. Gently, she took it from him, grateful that he was as yet, unable to read. He wouldn ' t understand now, she thought, I will tell him when he is older. Out loud she said, I was only having a little nap dear. You run along outside and play now . She managed somehow to smile, and the little boy wondered happ ily outside. She watched him go, and then she knew that although her husband ' s body lay battered and broken in far-off Europe, his spirit lived on. It had only moved from the old body to the new young body — her son. So it had always been, and so it would always be. A dimly remembered phrase crept into her mind: The old order changeth, yielding place to new. And God fulfils Him- self in many ways . YEAR BOOK, 1 960 Page 35 Activities at Branksome Page 36 THE BRANKSOfAE SLOGAN She stood in the doorway, watching her son who was playing quietly. Suddenly, the yard was flooded with brilliant sunshine. Dreamily, the boy ' s eyes turned toward the sky, and the woman followed his gaze. The clouds, stirred by a gentle breeze, had drifted apart, and behind each one was a silver lining. JENNIFER HOLBROOK, IVA. WINTER EVENING Motionless trees Etched against A violet sky. Great flakes Of white snow Drift slowly Earthward. A winter moon Reveals itself Among the clouds. Then slowly Slides from view And all is dark. WENDY BATEMAN, VB. THOUGHTS ON A SKIING HOLIDAY (Apologies to Hamlet ) To ski or not to ski ; that is the question Whether ' tis nobler on your skis to suffer The bumps and bruises of outrageous terrain Or to sit softly in a drift of snowflakes, And by compression melt them. To rise, to schuss And by a schuss to say we end the backache, And the thousand painful shocks that turns are prone to. ' Tis an occupation Devoutly to be missed. To ski, to slip, To slip, perchance to fall. OW ! There ' s the rub. For on that slope who knows what rocks lie hid. When we have shovelled off this treacherous snow, Must give us sores . . . . . . For who would mountain climb, And grunt and sweat under a pair of skis. But that the pleasure of telling all The undiscover ' d country that has crossed; All happiness returns, exalts the mind And makes us bravely bear those bumps we name And think of others that we talk not of. ANONYMOUS YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 37 SQUAW VALLEY When I was chosen to represent Canada on the Olympic Figure Skating Team at Squaw Valley this winter it was a big moment in my life and far surpassed all my expectations. Squaw Valley is located high in the Sierra mountain range close to the border of Nevada. The day we arrived it was snowing heavily, and it was not until the next day when the sun shone that we could see the beauty of our surroundings. We went at once to the Reception Centre and then were shown to our dormitories. I roomed with two other girls and we were most comfortably situated. The room furnishings consisted of two double bunk beds, a desk, a chest of drawers, and a lovely big window. Althogether there were four large dormitories to house the 749 athletes from 30 nations. The rest of the Olympic Village included the Reception Centre, a Valley Post Office, a large dining hall and lounge, and a Recreation Centre and Movie Theatre. We were given the best of food and as much as we wished to eat. Every night during the Games there was entertainment for the athletes. Art Linkletter was the Master of Ceremonies. It usually ended around 10 p.m. so that the athletes could get to bed reasonably early. I was unable to attend much of this as my event lasted four days, but I always received a report from one or the other of my enthusiastic roommates. Up to the opening of the games we were all worl ing very hard. Up at 5.45 for two hours of figure practice, then a rest and lunch. Then we would walk to the outdoor rink for a free skating practice. We always enjoyed these sessions in the warm sunshine. The rink was usually surrounded by a crowd of people, for there were generally fifteen to twenty thousand people on hand each day to watch the various prac- tices. When we came off the rink there were always a great number of the spectators who wanted an autograph or our picture. Excitement ran high as Opening Day arrived and we were all hoping for good weather. It was stormy in the morning, but mir aculously it cleared up for the opening hour and the Games were officially pronounced open by Vice-President of the United States, Richard Nixon. As the band played the Olympic Hymn and the athletes from each country paraded around the speed skating oval in their official Olympic outfits, I felt very proud indeed to be a part of it. What a wonderful sight to see the Olympic flame light up! The days of my event were busy and exciting and when it was over, I was glad to find time to watch the ski-jumping and cheer for Canada in the hockey games. It was with much regret that we saw the Games come to an end ten short days later. As I saw the Olympic Flame extinguished and the flag folded for another four years, I realized just what a wonderful experience it had been. We did not find language a barrier when associating with other athletes and I discovered that young people are pretty much the same Page 38 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN the world over. I made many friends from all corners of the globe whom I shall look forward to meeting again some day soon. From all I hear it was one of the most successful Olympics ever held and it was an honour to take part in it. WENDY GRINER, 2B. (Senior Women ' s Champion of Canada) TEENAGE BOY A teenage boy is a rare combination of many living creatures. He runs like a gazelle, swims like a fish, eats like a horse, sleeps like a bear, laughs like a hyena, and makes noises like a cage full of monkeys. In reality he ' s just a normal, happy healthy, Canadian boy, too old to be a child and too young to be a man. The teenage boy can be found beneath a crew cut, behind a black eye, in front of the corner drugstore, over large portions of food, and more often than not under the stern look of his father. Teenage boys are positive their fathers never teenagers or else how could they possibly be so ' ' square . Although a teenage boy is rarely serious he never the less does an outstanding job with the things he really likes to do, such as loafing, taking clocks apart, playing records that really thrill him, dodging household chores and spending money, (preferably not his own). He dislikes visiting his relatives, hanging up his clothing, running errands, and bath tubs, along with his many other animal traits he has the incred- ible memory of an elephant. He remembers his first hair cut, his kinder- garten teacher, the batting average of every major league baseball player, and all the words of all the current songs. Yet with this great retentive memory he forgets to change his socks, wash his neck, close the door behind him, his mother ' s birthday, and his two lines in the school play. Teenage boys have one tricky device for getting even with parents for such things as, scoldings, curfews, forced labour and things like that. They continually keep growing out of brand new shirts, suits, shoes and ' ' out of hand . However there are special methods employed by a father to show who the boss is, by reasoning, by pleading, by coaxing, by threatening, by putting his foot down, by dropping the whole thing and forgetting who the boss really is. The teenager changes from a day time rough neck to a night time gentleman when he starts getting ready for his first real dress-up dance. Foremost in his preparation is the shaving of the tv o stray hairs lurking in the peach fuzz and after spending twenty minutes getting the wave in his hair just right he is off to the dance. Once there typical of most teenage boys, he and his buddies will stand around in small groups making comments while they watch the girls dance with each other. In the evening in the seclusion of his room a teenage boy will dream of his future. Perhaps he is a jet pilot breaking the sound barrier several times a day, or perhaps he is navigating the first rocket ship to the moon, or maybe he has just broken Babe Ruth ' s home-run record. Basking in YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 39 the glories of his dream world accomplishments he suddenly finds himself back to reality. He has just heard the familiar voice of other calling from the kitchen, ' ' For the last time you get right down here and take the garbage out! CAROL COWAN, IB. SUMMER ADVENTURE A narrow chasm between walls of granite stretched before us as we paddled down the twisting northern river. The cliffs dropped suddenly into a dense screen of forest as the river veered west. Rounding the curve we were astonished to see a bear fishing in an ebbying cove. To our amusement two playful cubs bounded out of the bushes. An untimely change in the current sent our canoe towards shore. Obviously the mother bear thought we were after her off -spring, and plunged into the water towards us. Our backwatering was in vain, as the powerful current overwhelmed our eiforts. Just when it looked as though a horrible fate was in store for us, a little whimper from the shore halted the old bear in her tracks. As she turned around we could see a third cub, smaller than the rest. She looked first at her baby, and then at us. With a farewell snort she turned and plowed back to her apparent favourite. Then with a sigh of relief we turned our efforts against the current. SANDRA ENGLAND, IB.

' ' Or North or South in all the world She spoke it every day, ' Till Essex bold a love dart hurled And stole her heart away. Their hearts entwined like one green stem But each desired the throne A love of power divided them Each wished to rule alone. His death, his death needs must demand She pushed love from her mind With heavy heart, with shaking hand His death warrant she signed. Her heart was brimming o ' er with care They killed Lord Essex brave But though her heart ruled Eng- land fair Her heart lay in his grave. LYNN MORGAN, IVB. HURRY! Hurry, hurry, hurry!

This really seems like fun to me. It ' s not so hard to learn to ski. But quickly downhill as I plunge. And on a huge bump make a lunge, Some secret doubts invade my soul As I begin to lose control. In Austria they say, ' ' Bend ze knees And in this awkward stance I freeze. But I can see that it ' s too late As I anticipate my fate. At last I reach the end of the hill, But not before an awful spill. With this sport I have no luck, And now I think I ' ll give it up. TONI TROW, IVB.

Page 42 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN CIVIL WAR 1863 Her billowing crimson dress swayed gently as she walked swiftly by the chattering crowd. The soft smooth curves of her face were now drawn in a hard unattractive Hne. Only her ice-blue eyes remained beautiful, but they too were dimmed with great strain. Outwardly she was calm and composed, but the tiny hands made red by unaccustomed menial work, were restless, absent mindedly fidgeting with an engraved gold ring. When she reached the outside of the newspaper office, she haltingly sought for the fateful notice. She took a deep breath and scanned the list of names. ... In just one instant her world had crumbled. A cruel pain seared her heart, and hot tears welled up in her eyes. Reality slipped away as darkness steals from the morning sun. Her body became limp, she could not feel the dull ache in her head now. Nothing mattered, she could hold on no longer. Turning slowly she hesitantly walked away, unheeding the sympa- thetic glances from dear friends. She moved as if in a trance. Then her gaze brushed a young girl distraught with grief, dabbing her tearful eyes with a crumpled lace handkerchief. Suddenly a blinding light flashed through her numb mind, linking her again with life. . . . She squared her delicate shoulders, and slowly dis- appeared down the deserted lonely road.

A goatherd wends his weary way Down fertile slopes, past new- mown hay. Past well-worn narrow trails, down towards Soft carpets of meadows cool and sweet. And night ' s dark skirts — with stars that peek Through shrouds of drifting mist, and seek To wrest secrets from a tiring earth — Close round about the placid band.

Page 48 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN ESCAPE His torn shoes slid sickeningly in the soft sand, his trousers clung in tatters around his flaihng legs as he lurched painfully towards the dully booming surf, crashing far out on the jagged rocks. Rivulets of perspiration blinded his eyes as he jerked to a stop to scan the horizon, gun grey and brassy with the glare of the sun. Frantically he rubbed his cracked and filthy hands across his haggard face as if to erase a night- mare. ' ' Where are they? He moaned. Oh, Lord, he thought, they have to be here. His wide flung legs jerked giddily as the putrid scent of rotting fish and stark dispair assaulted his nostrils and made him want to retch. Slowly he slid to his knees, his aching torso wracked by half held sobs. He hadn ' t meant to kill her, he thought. It was just that one blinding moment of white hot fury and then the horror and revulsion, and now the dull never ending ache. ' ' Oh, Lord, Lord forgive me. He gasped. Slowly he raised his head and there beyond the surf was the boat, they had come ! Swiftly he thrust himself to his feet and ran towards the bay, his sore feet imprinting the wet sand and his head pounding with joy. He plunged into the surf heedless of the icy water swirling about his waist, over his head, conscious only of the outstretched hands reaching towards him. He felt their strong grasp and he sunk into a peaceful oblivion full of warmth and comfort; he was safe. He was free. Behind him on the surf ' s edge stood his pursuers. If only we had been sooner, murmured one breathlessly. We might have been able to stop him. The poor fool; nothing in that current but driftwood. If only he ' d known, he didn ' t kill his wife in that scuffle they had, she just banged her head when she fell.

THE CHILDREN ' S CRUSADE On March 23rd, at Massey Hall, the Senior Choir took part in Pierne ' s Oratorio, ' ' The Children ' s Crusade . Our choir, with the Bishop Strachan Choir, sang the part of the ill-fated children of this tragic Crusade, accompanied by the Mendelssohn Choir, and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, all under the expert direction of Walter Susskind. The months of practicing with Mrs. Coutts, were certainly worth it and the performance was a great success. Some comments by the Toronto press : The singing of the children ' s choruses was of extreme beauty and great discipline. — The Toron- to Daily Star. On each appearance there was a vocal colouring with a full awareness of the score, whether hopeful o r pitiful. — The Tele- gram. But I was singing at Massey Hall . . .

CHRISTILOT HANSON, Grade 8A. FIRST SNOW FALL The snow came slowly fluttering down Putting a veil o ' er cities and towns ; Drifting, floating to the ground. Muffling, deadening all the sound. It continued to fall all through the night Covering all with a thin sheet of white. Everything looked so clean, so bright Over the hill, and out of sight. CALEY WAITE, Grade 7 YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 51 THE WAY I LEARNED ENGLISH It all happened this way. On a bright sunny August morning in 1956 my father and I were waiting for the plane to leave, in one of Munich ' s largest airports. I was only eight years old, which meant I was going to spend my ninth birthday in Canada. The plane was finally ready to leave and in three minutes we soared through the air. After eighteen hours of patient waiting we finally landed in New York, where we had to change into another plane. Then after a bouncy and monotonous ride we landed at Malton airport. To my disgust there was something wrong with my visa and it took Dad two hours of hard strugghng before they would let me through the customs. All this while a friend of Dad had been waiting for us patiently so he could take us home. Now my big problem and I met face to face with each other. How will I be able to play with the other girls and boys when I could not speak their language, for the only language I knew how to speak was German. To help me conquer that problem I was enrolled in an English School. I was very much surprised when I found out that we had to go to school all day. In Germany we only went to school half a day because the schools were over crowded, but as I said I had to go to this school, and of course, not one member of the staff knew how to speak my language, so you can well imagine what a time I had communicating with them. Anyway on my first day I was taken into my new classroom where I found many other boys and girls. This was not at all unusual to me, but, when the teacher put down the day ' s work and started talking I was completely dumbfounded and just stared. A half hour or so, Father Egbert entered the room carry- ing some large paper covered books, and to my surprise walked over to my desk. Then after an half an hour of explaining I discovered that those books were for beginners like me to learn EngHsh. I very much wanted to play with the other girls and boys, so with that thought in my mind I really buckled down to work, and in less than a year I knew enough English to get along quite well with the other children. Two years later my grandparents came from Hungary. They also could not speak English, only Hungarian, Roumanian and German. I found it very hard to speak German with them for I had been concentrating so much on learning English that I completely forgot the German language. This meant that I had to relearn German and learn my English more fluently. This year being my fourth year in Canada everybody says I have completely lost my German accent. I am doing fairly well in school now, but as you can see my vocabulary is still far behind, well maybe in one or two years (my) I will be as good as all the others. EVA SCHORSCHER, Grade 7. Page 52 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN NATURE S DELICATE BALANCE Every living thing depends on another form of life. When this balance is disturbed some of these species may become a menace, or suffer great difficulties. In their own environment, their natural enemies keep them under control, but they move to different loca- tions where their enemies do not live. There they multiply beyond proportion, and become a menace. Take the starling for an exam- ple. In their native country of Eng- land very few starlings existed, and they were enjoyed by the po- pulation of other species of birds in England. In 1887, a few pairs of those birds were brought to Canada by a man who was home- sick for England. Today, they have become such a vast horde that they are driving out other birds. In California, a snail as large as a human fist is eating his way through much fruit and vegetable produce. In a cargo from Africa it was a stowaway. The mongoose which is a weasel- like animal, attacks and kills the cobra, a poisonous snake. It was brought to Jamaica, and there it is rapid ly killing not only snakes but other animals. If people upset the dehcate bal- ance of nature, they will cause a vast amount of trouble, both to animals, and to the rest of the world. PAULA BIRNBAUM, Grade 8B. JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Back Row: K.

YEAR BOOK, 1960 Page 53 THE TARANTULA AND THE WASP I begin my story in the depths of the desert where there is a con- stant fight for survival. I will take you to one of these deadly fights, this one between the pespis wasp, with a poisonous stinger and the tarantula spider, a huge hairy monster also with poisonous fangs. It begins when a pespis egg is opened and the new Httle larvae needs fresh tarantula meat to feed on. The mother wasp finds the huge spider ' s home, a hole just big en- ough for her. When the spider comes out of her hole she is pounc- ed upon by the wasp. The wasp must dig her stinger into the hairy chest of the tarantula, and there- fore freezes her. The spider also has a target of its own — the wasp ' s neck. The wasp usually wins the fight and therefore lays an egg on the tarantula ' s chest, so that the new larvae will survive. This is just one of the many fights for survival in the desert. DONNA BRADLEY, Grade 7. WHY MR. WIND? Why are all those bright coloured leaves. Falling off from boughs of trees.

MARGERY TOW, Grade 2 Grade 8B Page 54 Branksome Hall Ail-Round Girl CHRISTMAS VISIT I live in McKenzie, British Gui- ana in South America. I went there at Chrstmas to see my par- ents. Gordon is the name of my father. He works for the Alumi- nium Company of Canada. They mine bauxite with a big dragling. The bauxite goes through the plant where it gets crushed into little wee pieces, and then it gets washed. After the bauxite gets washed it goes into a kiln. The fire in the kiln is about 90,000 degrees. It stays there until it is dried. They have to go through a lot of sand and clay to reach the bauxite. It is very hot in McKenzie, some- times it gets to be about 130 de- grees. We always wear shorts at Sunday School, school, Christmas and special occasions. Our houses are on stilts. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN In McKenzie, we have a grocery store, hotel, and a hospital and a school. I was born in McKenzie on Aug- ust the second in 1959, in the Mc- Kenzie Hospital. When I was born, I had black hair and blue eyes, but now my hair is blonde, and my eyes blue. Our schools are not on the same level as Canadian schools. Some of the mothers are kind enough to teach in the school. The company gets other teachers that they need. The teachers don ' t teach the Cana- dian level. CAROLYN JOHNSON, Grade 5 SPRINGTIME AGAIN The snow has started melting All slushy round my feet, I notice this as I walk Up and down the street. Here and there I see grass Peeking through the snow.

In the standing broad jump, Mary Knowles amazed spectators by jumping eight feet. Linda Ames ran very well in the hundred yard dash, and won the cup for the second time. The Senior Champion was Pat Strathy, and Linda Ames was the Intermediate champion. Page 56 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN BASKETBALL As soon as school had started, the basketball courts were crowd- ed with basketball enthusiasts. Under the coaching of Miss Hughes and Miss Marshall the school played well in every game. At the Round-Robin the second team won all its games, but the first team did not fare as well. In regular competition the first and second teams won one game and lost two, and the third team won two of their four games. Congratu- lations to the fourth team who won three games, and only lost one. In class basketball, IVA ' s A team was victorious, and IVB won the B team finals.

There v as such enthusiasm for swimming. Many girls advanced their skills in our life saving, diving, racing and orna- mental swimming classes. This year, the Branksome swim club was instigated, through which we were well represented at many competitions throughout the year. In March, our swim team repre- sented us at the inter-school swim meet, in which they placed third. Indeed, this result was not exem- plary of their hard work, and ex- cellent instructors. We were all most proud of them. Racers: Ginny Ellis, Faith Har- rington, Mary Knowles, Carol Warrington, Mary Gillanders, Marilyn McDowell, Elspeth Tup- ker. Divers: Lyn Burton, Nancy Adams, Judy Ireland. Style: Sue Whitehead, Wendy Thompson. Great credit goes, not only to our swimmers, but to the untiring encouragement and instruction of Miss Hughes, and Mrs. Van Fleet. Next year, OUR CUP! 57a THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN GATHERING OF THE CLANS A week after school had started, there was absolute chaos in the gym. Members of the eight clans had gathered there for the annual clan competitions which had to be held indoors because of rain. Everyone participated in various races which included chasing ping- pong balls, throwing basketballs, and bowling at coke bottles. All the new girls soon felt at ease, and shouts and clan cheers could have been heard all the way down to Bloor Street. When the points were totaled, it was announced that McLean had won the prize, and Ross and Mac- Alpine had tied for second place. BADMINTON Once again, the Inter-School Badminton Tournament showed a high calibre of badminton in all schools. Although our teams play- ed well, B.S.S. won the tournament after many close games. Senior Team: Barb Langley, Barb Meyers. Intermediate Team : Denise Hind- cliffe, Mary Langley. Junior Team: Penny Davies, Martha Medland. In the clan tournament, Camp- bells distinguished themselves by winning every game. At this moment the school bad- minton tournament is just start- ing, and Branksome ' s enthusiasm CLAN CHIEFTAINS Virginia Ellis, Joan Dixon, Janer Ament, Elizabeth Barnes, Pam Rollason, Isabel Miller, Marilyn Mitchener, Clare Crummey. YEAR BOOK, 1960 for badminton is shown by the large number of entries. Many thanks are due to Miss Marshall for all her help and organization. TEACHERS vs. PREFECTS In December, the Staff disguised themselves in red kilts, and the prefects transformed themselves into Zoology, French, Mathematics, and other subjects for a never-to- be forgotten basketball game. To the spectator the game was con- fusing but extremely hilarious and once again the teachers were vic- torious. Santa Glaus, Miss Living- ston in disguise, was the guest referee, and gave out gifts to the participants. To provide some more serious ( ?) basketball, the two honourary teams chosen from enthusiastic basketball players, clashed, and in this encounter the Snowmen de- feated the Reindeer. OLD GIRL ' S GAMES The annual old girl ' s basketball game was held in October, when some graduates returned to show how basketball used to be played in their day. The members of the first and second teams played two teams of old girls, and the ' ' old- timers managed to win one game. Later in the year, A Sports Night took place. The old girls and present teams competed in basket- ball, badminton, volleyball and swimming. The highlight of the evening was a game of water-polo. After a great deal of fun and serious competition, it was an- nounced that the present teams were victorious. 57b The Shoeless Bowler BOWLING Branksomites once again proved that bowling is their sport. Sue Chudleigh and Charlotte Empring- ham were in top form, and they led B.H.S. to victory over Havergal, B.S.S. and St. Clements. Congratu- lations! In the clan competition, MacAlpine bowled its way to vic- tory. JOLLY MR. SUN Look at the sun in bright blue sky. My friends love the sun, and so do I. It is so warm, and it is so bright And believe it or not, it shines at night. It gives the moon her lovely light So she can shine on me at night. It makes the flowers grow so tall. Daisies and asters, one and all. Think of the sun on a rainy day, Think of the sun, and to yourself say, ' It ' ll be here another day . And all your blues will go away. ELIZABETH KEITH, Grade 5 57c THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN A Tribute . . . Branksome Hall is one of the oldest Schools in Canada, having been established in the year 1903. Many pupils and staff members have come and gone but one original member of the staff still remains — The Rev. Alexander MacMillan, Mus.B., LL.D. Dr. MacMillan was the one who advised Miss Scott about many matters when she founded the School and it was he who suggested the name. He was very anxious that the School be founded on Scottish principles as the Scottish schools have always had such high educational and moral standards. The name chosen for the School was the name of the ancestral home of the Duke of Buccleuch on whose estate Miss Scott ' s father had been brought up. To this day the Duke has taken a personal interest in Branksome and both he and his son, the Earl of Dalkeith, and the Countess have visited us as well as the Duke ' s daughter, the Duchess of Northumberland. Dr. MacMillan lectured on English Literature to the senior students during the early years and many of those still living tell how fascinating these lectures were. Their fame spread so that parents asked permission to attend some of them. Dr. MacMillan is the leading authority on hymn- ology in Canada and his advice is generally sought by anyone bringing out a new hymn book, no matter what the denomination. In the past many Branksome girls have had the opportunity of hearing Dr. MacMillan lecture on this subject. On the occasion of the celebration of the School ' s Golden Jubilee, Dr. MacMillan was one of the chief speakers at the Anniversary Banquet and his reminiscences were enjoyed by old and young. On October 19th, 1959, we marked the occasion of Dr. MacMillan ' s ninety-fifth birthday by taking him a gift and a birthday cake. He is always a ' ' welcome visitor at Branksome and we consider his connection with the School a great honour and of great value to us. We would like to take this opportunity of thanking him publicly for the time that he has given to us and for the great interest he has shown in our progress. We can assure him that his name will never be forgotten as long as there is a Branksome Hall School. YEAR BOOK, 1960 57d Courtesy of RICHARD MORAWETZ THE REV. ALEXANDER MacMILLAN, Mus.B., LL.D.
