When all had taken their places, and after ' ' G od Save The Queen , Miss MacNeill, in a brief introductory message to the audience, reviewed the foundation of the school by Miss Scott and the meaning and significance of the uniform, tie pin, school motto and colours. Following this, the clan chieftains were introduced and their positions as leaders of their respective clans, confirmed.

Miss Aiken, who herself attended Branksome, explained the value of education in the world today and in her specific field of journalism. After this interesting talk, the school song was sung and the school prayer repeated. Then came the moment when the past prefects handed over the school flags to the present prefects, and Cathy, our newly-installed head girl pledged to uphold the ideals and traditions of the school to the best of her abihty. As the procession slowly filed out of the church, the girls who would lead the school for the year 1962-63 must have looked ahead to the year of responsibility and challenge. Branksome was proud of them that day — and rightly so. Then and there we sincerely wished them luck. CHERYL HAMILTON, IIIA
