YEAR BOOK, 1962 Page 1 J THE INSTALLATION OF PREFECTS The service took place at ten o ' clock on Friday morning, October the sixth in Rosedale United Church, with an audience of guests and the Junior and Senior Schools. The girls from Grade One to Fourth Form filed in, followed by the sub-prefects and clan chieftains, and then the prefects and Head Girl in their new Royal Stewart kilts. God Save the Queen was sung and Miss MacNeill spoke on the meaning of Branksome Hall; its crest, its motto and its history. The clan chieftains were announced and each raised her clan banner as her name Left to right MISS READ, MISS MacNEILL and the PREFECTS Standing — J. Diffen, M. Langley, D. Walsh, P. Kyle, G.

Page 10 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN EDITORIAL ' ' Ask not what your ' ' Slogan can do for you; ask only what you can do for your Slogan . This is a paraphrase of a well-known statement made by President Kennedy, it is true, but it expresses exactly what the Slogan committee feels. However, through the medium of Advertising and Photography con- tests, which offered tempting prizes, we obtained the results for which we strove. We admit that we kept Branksome ' s long finger-nailed aspiring secretaries typing fast and furiously. Many new committee reports have been added in our book , including one from the very successful and newly formed Drama Club. In future years, we suspect, the Drama Club will be one of the oldies , but it has been one of Branksome ' s fine accomplishments this year. The Dormitory Life has been given more space, as you probably noticed when you flipped through the pages of the Slogan yesterday. Today, as the initial excitement wears off, and the pages become filled with friendly autographs, we hope that you will derive pleasure from this issue of the Slogan and, as years go by, we trust that each one of you will promise to keep her camera poised and her pen in readiness for next year ' s contributions. Many thanks are to be showered on the Slogan committee which fut beaucoup de travail, and gave many suggestions and guidance to the final result. We salute each girl who contributed pictures, poems and write-ups for their submission, whether pubHshed or not. Those whose work does not appear in this Slogan, must remember that there will be other years in which you may develop your talents along the lines of Karsh, Hemingway and Foster Hewitt. Have a good summer Branksomites — you deserve it ! NANCY GELBER

Page 72 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN was called. Then the sub-prefects came forward to receive their pins and Miss MacNeill told the audience a bit about each girl. The prefects came up next and were also given a short reference. Then the most touching moment of all arrived when the school flag was handed over by last year ' s Head Girl, Barb Langley, to this year ' s, Nancy Adams, and a solemn pledge was made. The other flags representing truth, honesty, justice and purity were presented by last year ' s prefects to the new ones. An old girl, Mrs. Grace Morris Craig, gave a very interesting and highly amusing talk on the Branksome of yesterday. It was greatly enjoyed by all and after it came the school song and prayer. One of the most impressive of the functions at Branksome Hall was thus brought to a close, and everyone left for a long Thanksgiving weekend.
