YEAR BOOK, 1961 Page 13 MISS DORES S VISIT In September, Branksome welcomed Miss Winifred Dore, the versatile Headmistress of King ' s Lynn High School for girls in England. Miss Dore, who is also a Justice of the Peace in King ' s Lynn and a member of the Juvenile Court Probation Committee, was in Canada under the auspices of the British-American Association. By speaking to various organizations throughout Canada and the United States, she is strengthening the bonds of friendship and understanding among EngHsh-speaking peoples. There were three topics in her address to Branksome. First was England ' s system of education which was of particular interest to us because of our student exchange with Sherborne School. The second was the background of her own school, and the third, her work in Juvenile Court. We all thoroughly enjoyed Miss Dore ' s speech and we hope that she will find time to visit us again in the future. THROUGH ENGLISH EYES ! If I had three wishes, I would wish for a record to be made describing the English Educational System, a satisfying reply to ' ' What do you think of Canada? , and a ship so that I might transport all of Branksome back to England with me ! When I heard that I was coming over here, I knew that I would not be able to manage the confusing change-over from pounds into dollars. When my parents heard, they thought that I would disappear forever in either Alaska or the Atlantic. When my aunts heard, they sent me woollen vests, socks and scarfs, and the advice that I would die of cold. And when my friends heard, they envied me the chance to wear bobby sox, see movies, and eat hot dogs. The former and latter expectations proved true. But I have seen neither an Eskimo nor an Indian and have not worn any of my woollen vests. The weather has been perfect, and I am sorry that Barb French cannot say the same of the English weather. I have learned to snow plough, play basketball and volleyball and am acquainted with ' ' the development of British North America. But none of these things can compare with the friendliness everyone has shown me, wherever I have been, and I wish that the renowned British reserve might take a leaf off the out-going Canadian Maple. This has been a wonderful six months, and I know the next six will be even more so. Branksome has a unique tradition, and I hope that it will last forever and influence many. JUDITH HO ARE
