YEAR BOOK, 1961 Page 19 U.N. CLUB REPORT The 100 members of the U.N. Club have found a great deal of inter- esting work to do during this past year. In the Fall, the Club sold Christmas Cards to raise money for U.N.I.C.E.F. Branksome did much better than ever before and sold seven hundred and sixty dollars worth of cards. Later in the year, the U.N. Club will have a luncheon to help the United Nations Association to pay the way of 100 African students to the University of Toronto. We hope that everyone has noticed the hard work that Liliana has done to make the U.N. Corner board informative as well as colourful, and that interest in the U.N. Club will grow in the future so that it will become an important school activity. President: Patty Wilson. Vice-President: Patty Gelber. Sec. Treasurer: Cathy Flavelle. U.N. Corner: Liliana Berezowsky. UNITED NATIONS DELEGATION REPORT Last September, we, the delegation of Branksome Hall, resolved to work hard in order to represent the country of our choice, Belgium, to the best of our ability. We began by gathering a great deal of information so that we might debate well and support the Belgian point of view in the six topics to be discussed at the Model Assembly. These topics were : Disarma- ment, Human Rights, Trusteeship, Technical Assistance, Revision of the Charter, and Admissions. We attended meetings every second Sunday at Victoria College and every second Thursday evening, Susan Elgie and Cathy Flavelle faithfully participated in discussions of the Inter-Collegiate Council of the United Nations (I.C.C.U.N.). Here the plans for the Model Assembly were made. The assembly took place on January 16, 17, and 18. The opening session was held at Convocation Hall on Thursday night. On Friday we divided into our respective discussion groups in different buildings on the campus, and Saturday we brought our resolutions to the General Assembly in the Legislative Chambers of Queen ' s Park. By Saturday evening we were all exhausted but happy. After five months of arguing, debating, and presenting resolutions, it was decided ' by one and by all that representing a country whose views are somewhat different from Canada ' s, is, though not an easy one, a rewarding under- taking. We wish to express our thanks to Mrs. Coulter for her interest and advice. Delegates: Sue Elgie, Sue Ridgway, Liliana Genyk-Berezowski, Shelagh Hewitt, Patty Wilson and Nanci Gelber. Alternates : Pat Donehue, Rosemary Weldon, Karyl Jamieson, Linda Lewis, Nancy Myers, Janet McQuillan and Di Walsh. Observers: Ellenora Fisher, Cathy Flavelle, Mary-Pat Jones, Gail Corbett, Jennifer Milsom, Patty Gelber. NANCI GELBER

Page 18 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN SENIOR CHOIR REPORT Right from the start, the Senior Choir showed great enthusiasm and spirit, working hard in the Pall for the Carol Service, which was enjoyed by all. A group of seventeen was invited to sing carols at the annual Christ- mas party of the University Women ' s Club, and the members joined in for the well-known carols. As the Slogan goes to press we are preparing to sing at the Alumnae dinner in March, and at our Spring concert, to be held in April. Our sincere appreciation and thanks go to Mrs. Coutts for her excellent leadership and guidance, and to Miss Uren, our accompan ist, for her patience and help. THE CAROL SERVICE St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church was once again the setting for our 35th annual Carol Service. Under Mrs. Coutts ' capable leadership, the girls, enthusiastic and confident, brought forth carols which aroused the true spirit of Christmas in all those present. As both ancient and modern carols were sung, a simple but inspiring pageant took place high above the chancel, as Mary, Joseph and the Child appeared, surrounded by white-robed Angels. The lights brightened and ' ' Gloria in Excelcis Deo resounded through- out the church to bring to a close a most memorable Carol Service. CHOIR EXECUTIVES: Diana Walsh (Secretary-Treasurer), Jean Willet (Junior Choit), Mrs. Coutts, Jane Omand (Vice-President), Mary Langley (President). COMMITTEE: C. Flavelle, N. Johnston, R. Dunlop, A. Rutherford, S. Elgie, R. Weldon.
