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,
