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.
