Page 6 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE This has been a truly wond erful year in the history of Branksome Hall — a year full of challenges which each one of us has handled in her own way. From each experi- ence we have learned something — something which has helped us to grow up just a little more. As we grow older we realize the necessity in life to be ourselves, not merely stereotypes of others whom we, for some particular reason admire. We must think, act and assert our- selves on our own initiative. It was thrilling to watch Brank- some soar to victory in the inter- school swim meet and volleyball matches. However, it was wonder- ful to see, too, that when a game was lost there was still a strong feeling of good sportsmanship among all Branksomites. HEAD GIRL — NANCY ADAMS At the graduation ceremony many of you may feel that you are just a little cog in a big wheel, when all the attention is turned to the graduates. However, they are leaving the school and have put all their enthusiasm and spirit into it. It is up to you, who are returning, to continue and increase the enthusiasm and spirit to the best of your ability. You can see, therefore, that you really are very important, each one of you, to the future of Branksome Hall. Remember always that you will get out of the school just what you put into it. Keep Well the Road.
