Tage 30 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Dear Branksome, People ask me continually, ' ' How do you like England? , and each time I reply more enthusiastically and equally sincerely, I love every- thing about it! And it ' s the truth, too. Everyone makes good fun of the Enghsh, the way they speak, and their weather. Don ' t let anyone tell you it always rains here though, because it doesn ' t, — not always. This term has been the closest im- aginable to a perfect Canadian spring. It is no wonder the term is called Spring and not ' ' Winter, which usually follows Autumn (not Fall) term! Life at Sherborne is very differ- ent from that at Branksome in al- most every conceivable way. The school is divided into eight houses, and each house is home for every- thing except lessons. Let me take you through a typi- Norma McLean, next year ' s Branksome Rep. with Judith Hoare, this year ' s Sherborne Rep. Sherborne School for Girls, March, 1961. Dorset, England, cal day. It starts with breakfast at 7:40, prayers in the school hall at 8:30, classes at 9:00. There is a twenty minute break at 11:00 for cocoa and a currant bun. The next break is at 12:40 — with dinner at 1:00. Following is games ' time which to date has consisted mainly of lacrosse and hockey. Tea is about 4:00, and evening classes from 4:20—7:00. We have a light supper, e.g. an egg on toast, and then the evening is free till bed time. Concerts, lectures and vari- ous society meetings are scattered throughout the term to occupy many evenings. Everything in England seems to be in miniature! Surveying the country from a hill is like looking at a patch-work quilt in green and brown — baby carriage size! It never ceases to fascinate me. The little robins, about the size of a sparrow, ar e so perky and bright, and quite tame too. And all the roads here twist and turn more than any highways I have seen in Canada. Some roads are so narrow that even two small English cars cannot pass each other! All the girls I have met and known have been very interested in Canada, and Branksome in par- ticular. Everyone has been very good to me, a fact which I credit to the esteem they hold for Brank- some. Keep well the road , Brank- some. With love, BARBARA FRENCH
