In this connection was especially noted for her business acu- men. Was particularly interested in Christian education, and in giving the opportunity to each student to develop her potential talents to the limit, whether they were intellectual, artistic or practical.

Assistant Principal 1946-1958 Principal 1958- The Branksome Slogan Page 8 The History of Dear Girls: It has been suggested that in my letter to you this year I tell you something of the history of your School which is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee. Branksome Hall was founded in 1903 by Miss Margaret T. Scott of Dundas, Ontario, a distinguished educationalist, assisted by Miss Florence Merrick. Miss Scott rented a house at 102 Bloor Street East where the Manufac- turers ' Life Assurance building now stands and opened a residential and day school. The cosmopolitan nature of the School was evident from the begin- ning since among the small group of boarders two sisters from Dawson City and a girl from Australia were enrolled. Miss Scott ' s father had been born on the estate of the Duke of Buccleuch in the Scottish border country. When she was trying to decide what to call the School her friend. Dr. Alexander MacMillan, father of Sir Ernest Mac- Millan, suggested that it should be called Branksome Hall after the heredi- tary seat of the Duke of Buccleuch whose castle figures in Sir Walter Scott ' s Lay of the Last Minstrel. This is why every Branksome girl studies the Lay in Form II. From the beginning the School em- phasized the development of character and intellectual attainments. AAiss Scott was a devout Biblical student and was especially interested in the history and interpretation of the Old Testament. Residential students attended a Bible Class, conducted by their Principal, immediately after breakfast on Sunday morning. Then they crossed the street to Westminster Presbyterian Church Branksome Hall (now St. Andrew ' s United), where Dr. MacMillan was assistant minister, for morning service. After dinner the girls wrote a resume of the sermon which was handed in for Miss Scott ' s perusal, learned Bible verses which were recited to her, and at seven o ' clock attended evening service. The value of self- discipline was stressed in daily life and the term self-control because the by-word of irreverent students who, when older, paid tribute to the value of the training which they had received. Academically things went well and there was great rejoicing when the first group of girls passed the matriculation exam- inations. In 1 906 Miss Edith MacGregor Read joined the staff as a teacher of Math- ematics and Physical Education. Her organizing ability, vitality, her keen interest in girls and all the activities of School life, made it inevitable that her influence on the development of the School be far-reaching. In 1910, following the death of Miss Merrick, Miss Scott ' s doctor advised her to give up her work and it looked as if the School would have to close. Miss Read felt that so much of value was at stake that she persuaded the Bank of Nova Scotia to finance her. At this point the owners sold the building. Miss Read succeeded in renting 592 Sherbourne Street, v hich still forms the front of the Selby Hotel. Girls in attendance that year have told me that, while there were few luxuries, the School spirit was never higher than during that first year under Miss Read ' s leadership. In 1912 No. 10 Elm Avenue was purchased and became the nucleus of [Continued on page 10] Year Book, 1964 Page 9 Page 10 The Branksome Slogan [ Continued from page 8 ] the present School with its ten acres of land, ten buildings, and a registration of approximately six hundred girls. In 1 924 Miss Read, not wishing the School to close if anything should hap- pen to her, converted it from a Private to an Independent one when it was incorporated by letters patent under the Ontario Corporation Act. The School Crest, with the open Bible in the centre, the distaff, symbolizing women ' s work in the world, originally had the Latin motto, Industria et Scientia , inside the maple leaves which surround the whole. The motto was eventually changed to the present, ' Keep Well the Road , since it forms part of the inscription over the lintel of the door- way of the old Branksome Castle. After visiting the School in 1953 the Duke of Buccleuch sent a replica which was in- corporated with the stone front of the porte-cochere at the Main Building. At first the girls wore ordinary clothes to school. Then a uniform consisting of a pleated navy serge skirt, a middy blouse with navy collar and black shoes with long black stockings, was adopted. A black tie was worn by the rank and file while Sub-Prefects wore green, and Prefects, red ones. Later this uniform was changed to the present Hunting Stuart kilt with beige blouse, with the Prefects wearing the Royal Stuart tartan. In 1925, when the cornerstone of a building containing classrooms, gymna- sium, swimming pool, etc., was laid, the girls became very conscious of the importance of cornerstones. In consulta- tion with Miss Read it was decided that they would choose a special verse from the Bible from which the qualities which they wished to consider as the corner- stones of the School would be drawn. The verse chosen was from Phillipians 4:8: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things . As a result the School flags, red, green, black and white, symbolize truth, honesty, justice, and purity. By 1 908 Prefects were first appointed and a Head Girl in 1920. As numbers increased Sub-Prefects assisted in lead- ership in general, and Clan Chieftains in sports. In 1 958 Miss Read retired, living at the School until her death in 1963. The fifty-six years that she was connected with the institution saw an enormous expansion of its physical properties but the emphasis on the intellectual and spiritual development of the Branksome girl never faltered. The passing of ex- aminations was important but the girl ' s character more so. Old Girls in all parts of the world testify to the School ' s influence for good and their children are being taught the importance of truth, honesty, justice and purity as attributes of ideal woman- hood. No institution has a more loyal Alumnae. To those of you who will join its ranks this June I say farewell in confidence that you will Keep Well the Road while those of us who remain endeavour to be more faithful than before.

Just as the Road for Branksome has not always been smooth, neither will the Road of Life which lies ahead of each one of us be pleasant and convenient ; but you will find that if you follow the principles of life taught at Branksome, your way will be easier and much more rewarding. HEAD GIRL — FRANCES SHEPHERD We are taught to work willingly, to pursue good purposes, and to take a participating part in life. In so doing you will soon discover that service and responsibility are never convenient. Therefore, you must learn to sacrifice convenience and personal pleasures if you are to be prof- itable in the truest sense. You must also learn to withstand pressures, for the pressures of life will greatly exceed those of school, and will be much more varied and intense. After graduation, your problems will no longer be theo- retical, or mere paper problems; but in- stead, will be real and far-reaching facts to be faced. Indeed, in a sense, our final examination comes after gradua- tion. May God give us the strength to pass it, and to Keep Well the Road . Page 16 The Branksome Slogan Editorial With the arrival of this Slogan , girls, the Diamond Jubilee Year 1963-64 will have drawn to a close. These first sixty years can never be relived but they will always be remembered with joy by all those who have been a part of them. The editors hope that this Slogan in some measure will be a record to mark especially this Jubilee Year. The school has changed much in sixty years. It has grov n in size from seventy-five to six hundred girls, from one house on Bloor Street to ten on Elm Avenue. Among these are the new labs, library, and classrooms opened seven years ago, and MacNeill House, our new senior residence, dining room, and cafeteria opened just this year. But through all this physical change, there runs unalterable tradition. Although the structure of the buildings may have changed, the four cornerstones of the school, truth, honesty, justice, and purity have remained firm to this day. These precepts have been the guiding light in the lives of Branksome girls of the past and we hope that this light will never grow dim. Yet for us in the sixtieth graduating class this will be a year fondly remembered as one filled with work and good times. We hope that you who remain will continue to uphold the spirit of Branksome in the firm tradition of the school, so that on the hundredth anniversary you will be able to look back with the same feeling of pride and accomphshment as we are able to do in this, the Diamond Jubilee Year. Thank you, girls, for your enthusiastic support of the Slogan this year. May next year ' s editors be as lucky as we !

Page 18 The Branksome Slogan The Installation of the Prefects The Installation of the Prefects, held at Rosedale United Church on October 11, marked one of Branksome ' s most solemn and important annual events; and in this her Diamond Jubilee Year, the ceremony held for all of us an even greater significance. The procession moved slowly down the aisle. The students from Grade One to Fifth Form, the sub-prefects, the clan-chieftains, the prefects, and the Head Girl, followed by the staff and Miss MacNeill, accompanied by Dr. J. Robert Coulter, took their places and joined the congregation in the singing of the National Anthem. Miss MacNeill then gave a brief intro- duction. She inspired us to take stock of the intangible things upon which our school is based, as she spoke of its his- tory, and its flags, representing truth, honesty, justice, and purity. We were reminded that the spiritual foundation of Branksome Hall, laid in the school prayer, is based on the eighth verse of Philippians, chapter four. Finally, brethren, whatsover things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatso- ever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report ; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Each clan-chieftain was announced; and the sub-prefects and prefects were presented to the congregation, as they came forward to receive their pins.

An address was then given by Dr. Coulter, the Headmaster of St. Andrew ' s College. He emphasized the grave re- sponsibilities which lay ahead for the girls in the school, and especially for those who had been appointed to special positions. Dr. Coulter stressed the im- portance of female leadership to-day; and in closing, left us with the thought that life becomes worthwhile only when one lives for something bigger than oneself. The most impressive moment of all came when the old prefects handed over the school flags to the present prefects ; and Frances, accepting her new honour, made a solemn pledge to uphold the ideals of the school. Then the procession poured from the church on to the street. The moving ceremony was over, but its memory will surely provide an inspiration for us all throughout the year. However, this event did not end ail the appointments for the year. On Jan- uary 13, three new prefects and one new sub-prefect were installed in a cere- mony held in the senior gymnasium. The address wa3 delivered by Miss Mary E. MacFarland, the retired Super- visor of Nursing at the Toronto General Hospital. She congratulated the new prefects, and urged us to follow their example. Then Miss MacFarland spoke on the importance of the phrases, please , thank you , and I love you . At the conclusion of her speech, we sang the school song and repeated the school prayer. Thus the second installa- tion of prefects ended, and the students and procession moved out of the gym to continue the school year of 1963-64.

Branksomc Hall was named by the founder, after Brankcome Hall in Scot- land, the scene of Scott ' s Lay of the Last Minstrel. The estate is owned by the Duke of Buccleuch and it was on this estate that Miss Scott ' s father lived. The School ' s motto, Keep Well the Road, is taken from the doorway of the old Branksome where the following words are carved: In the v orld there is nothing Nature hath wrought that can last for aye; therefore serve God, Keep Well the Road, thy fame shall not decay. — Sir Walter Scott of Brank- some, Knight, 1571. During the last few years both the Duke of Buccleuch, his son, the Earl of Dalkeith with the Countess, and his daughter, the Duchess of Northumber- land, have visited the School. After his visit the Duke very kindly arranged to have a replica of this lintel made of stone from the Branksome Hall Estate. This was sent to the School and is now at our Main Entrance. Page 40 The Branksome Slogan TIMELY TOPICS Opheleo The Opheleo Society is pleased to re- port that its work in 1963-64 has been very rewarding. Our first drive in the fall was for the Ramabai Mukti Mission in India. Ralph, our masking tape Ramabai dog, ap- peared along the length of the hall at the beginning of Ramabai week. At the end of the week he was completely filled with the pennies that had been stuck on him. With Ralph ' s help, and by means of numerous bake sales, hoote- nannies, twist contests, and other ac- tivities, Branksome raised $828. Part of this money was sent to the Mukti Mis- sion for deserted children, orphans, and homeless girls and young women. Dona- tions were also made to the United Appeal and the Fred Victor Mission in Toronto, to the Maumad Mission in In- dia for the support of a teacher and orphan, and to the Nazareth, Bethle- hem, and Ludiana hospitals. With Christmas came Branksome ' s next opportunity to serve. Our contri- butions to the annual toy collection at Trinity East Anglican Church helped to provide Christmas gifts for others. The New Year brought Christmas cards! We managed to pack approxi- mately 10,000 cards for the Ramabai Christmas cards anyone? Mission. Paper is scarce in India; thus the children enjoy cutting out the pic- tures and writing on the paper obtained from the used cards. At the present time we are planning our Lent collection. This is purely vol- untary giving. Donations are sent to missionaries in Malaya, Japan, Thai- land, and Africa who are associated with the school. This year also, we plan to donate to the United Nations ' Free- dom From Hunger Campaign. The Society wishes to thank all the members of the staff who helped and advised it, and also the girls who did not forget the meaning of the word Opheleo — I serve.

This year the Toronto Symphony Or- chestra Student Concerts were changed to Saturday evenings. The move proved successful, and the four concerts in the series v ere extremely well attended. We heard the familiar Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, this time v ith narration by a young actor; and Anitra appeared to perform her dance. Undoubtedly the most popu- lar program was Jazz at the Symphony. Gershwin ' s Cuban Overture , Stra- vinsky ' s Ragtime , and Morton Gould ' s Interplay for Piano and Orchestra, were included in the evening. This season I concluded a second term as President of the T.S.O. Student Council. Elsbeth and I have been proud to represent Branksome, and v e hope that you girls will continue your sup- port and enthusiasm in the coming years. ANGELA FUSCO T. T. ' s Year Book, 1964 Page 41 Senior Choir Through arches high the joyful song rang forth once again at Branksome ' s annual Christmas Carol Service at St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church. But, since this year was our Diamond Jubi- lee, the choir ' s songs were not tradi- tional Christmas carols, but special new ones. Margaret MacKay, an old girl of 1963, wrote the words to three songs which Dr. Johnston, prof, on the fac- ulty of music at the U. of T., set to music. The result was a trilogy of most beautiful carols — a processional, a Gloria , and The Manger . Surely no one will forget the anniversary service — especially the choir members, who remember the time Dr. Johnston him- self came to conduct us ! For the first time the senior choir visited the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, to sing at its Christmas party. A group of senior carols, as well as their own formerly mentioned trio were sung. Afterwards, gifts were given to all the residents; and refreshments were served by the choir members, who were extremely friendly, speaking to as many of the blind as possible, bringing Christmas brightness and joy into their CHOIR EXECUTIVE BACK ROW: Margot Carruthers, Vice-President; Misty Plaunt, Secretary-Treasurer; Elizabeth Dechcrt, President of Junior Choir.

The Institute apparently en- joyed our efforts, for we have been in- vited back to sing again at a later date. We are at the moment busily prepar- ing a new programme, varying from Hungarian dances to A Hymn to Beauty , with something that will ap- peal to every taste. Our first engage- ment is at St. Andrew ' s college in April, a date we are all looking forward to; and next are the Alumnae Dinner and the annual Spring Concert, both of which we eagerly anticipate. Our greatest thanks, of course, go out to Mrs. Coutts, without whom there would be no choir, and whose patience is from everlasting unto everlasting . We are grateful to Mrs. Sloan, also, for her able accompaniment at the piano. The executive thanks you also, choir members, for an enjoyable year. President — Kristina Szandtner.

Beta Kappa There are five dances each year at Branksome, and to date three have taken place: the Boarders ' Dance, the Fourth and Fifth, and the Formal. The Boarders chose for their theme Days of Wine and Roses ; those at- tending saw huge red roses adorning the curtains, and little tables, complete with red checkered cloths, around the sides of the gym. Later, at the Fourth and Fifth, couples danced under silver stars, lost in a wood of Hansel and Gretel, who could be seen in person on a platform in the centre of the gym, seeking the road to a gingerbread house nestled in a clump of pines on stage. The last dance led by the Beta Kappa was the Formal, which this year was held in the cafeteria of the newly-com- pleted MacNeill House. Those attending stepped through an enormous heart of red satin and white lace which covered the entrance into a world of valentines. Smaller hearts were seen on the walls, each connected to the next by large red bows and ribbons. The final touch was the more than thirty mobiles of hearts and cupids, which gently swayed from the ceiling as the dancers passed. Those on the Beta Kappa committee have enjoyed their work this year, and we hope the girls in charge of the Grad- uation Dance and the Strawberry Festi- val have the same pleasure. JANE President — Jane Ambler. Vice-President — Nadine Levin. Secretary-Treasurer — Daphne Palmer. The Dance — 1926 On with the dance! let joy be unconfined. On Saturday, February 13th, the dance, one of the most delightful events of the year, was given by Miss Read and the members of the Staff. Miss Read received her guests in the gym- nasium, which was brilliantly decorated with hearts and cupids for St. Valen- tine ' s eve. Three immense red hearts, bearing the letters B.H.S., in the School colours, were hung across the back of the stage and were the central figures in the decorative scheme. Those who graciously acted as patrons and patron- esses for the occasion were: Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Watson, Col. and Mrs. Dun- can Donald, Col. and Mrs. F. H. Deacon, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scott. The Varsity Year Book, 1964 The FORMAL DANCE Page 44 Orchestra provided the music and their program was a great success. The last dance on the programme was supper , after which dehghtful refreshments were served in the School Dining-room, and much was added to the liveliness of the scene by the various School yells, which were given with much feehng. Altogether it was a most successful affair and the occasion will be long remembered by all who were present. Drama Club This year the honour of reporting drama club activities has been bestowed on me as president. At the end of last year the drama club suffered a great blow with the loss of Miss Hewitt ' s cheerful assistance, and the loss of last year ' s talented fourth and fifth forms, who have gone on to greater things. However, not being of that breed which lets misfortune take away its hopes without a fight, and also being helped by Miss MacNeill, as a fight would have been ineffective without the help of our principal, we pulled our- selves together for a giant come-back. Miss MacNeill enlisted the help of a very enthusiastic instructress who has been of unlimited help and encour- agement. By recruiting many aspiring young actresses and eager committee organizers from third form and two arts, we managed to put on a Christmas skit. Now we are planning two one act plays for March. Even at the time I am writing this, we have organized com- mittees working with enthusiasm and imagination — an essential ingredient of the drama club — on properties, scenery, and costumes. Although our efforts this year have not been and will not be on quite the scale they have been in past years, we The Branksome Slogan have enjoyed them, and benefitted both from meetings and from experience on the stage. We are indebted to Miss MacNeill and Mrs. Jones for their help and guidance. We will undoubtedly be indebted to many more before the year is out. Since I cannot know what our activities may bring us up against or whose help we will be soliciting, I must thank you all, whoever you are; your help will have been greatly appreciated when this magazine is published.

The Library This year Brankcomites have been flowing in waves into the library, both to take out books and to read, if only school year books. The library commit- tee has worked very hard to keep the library up to date, and to extract those fines from tardy readers. We would like to thank Mrs. Johnson for her invaluable assistance; she has succeeded in putting new section letters on many of the books, which has greatly improved the appearance of the shelves. The committee has been covering a large number of books with plastic ; and our file card system is now near com- pletion. Meetings were held regularly, at which all problems were discussed and, we hope, solved. We hope that you have all had an opportunity to read the books donated by Miss MacNeill. Continue to keep well the road — to the library! MELODY WURSTER BARBARA ANNE CATTEL Year Book, 1964 Page 45 U.N. Deleg Lovely Ladies (V. Flavelle, C. Hamilton, J. Miller, J. Sissons, S. Wil- son, S.

Club have a luncheon this spring. Our plan is to invite a speaker to address the entire school on the morning of the luncheon. We hope that this will encourage a large attendance. The big project this fall was the an- nual selling of Unicef Christmas Cards. Considering that our members number half as many as last year, I feel that the amount raised, $575, was excellent. Early in the year we began our de- Pa e 46 bates. As the first subject was one- sided, we agreed that the second debate, Resolved that a Communist govern- ment is more stable than a democratic government was better. In the near future is the U.N. Tag Day, on which many club members will offer their services. At an extra meeting in the future we hope to have a speaker on the topic What every teenage Canadian should know about world affairs . Most of the girls have been truly interested and helpful this year, and I wish to thank them so much. I would also like to thank the Third Formers in particular for their attendance and enthusiasm. I believe in the good that comes from our club and I hope that it will always be a part of Branksome Hall. JUDY MILLER President — Judy Miller. Vice-President — Elizabeth Morrison.

Held in Readacres, the get-together be- gan with a round of rousing folk songs, and a few Negro spirituals. The light atmosphere suddenly became more seri- ous as Nancy Millar yelled Come and get it! Jo Rudd, with her uke, led us in a few more songs, and then the event broke up. The following Tuesday Jo came again to Branksome, and led a discussion on Christianity. This was so interesting that Miss Rudd had to come again the next week to finish the discussion. Further meetings were held on Tues- day afternoons in the McLeod room of Buccleuch. They were led by different students; and as guests we have had The Branksome Slogan several missionaries, and Mr. William Fulton of the I.S.C.F. office. This year we have had girls from Grades 7 and 8 at a number of our meetings, and we have enjoyed their contribution. Thank you, Branksomites. President — I Iancy Millar.

Every- one was anticipating a day of great en- joyment — intellectual and otherwise — and no-one was disappointed. Our Sher- borne rep. kept us laughing and the accordion-playing Telegram hostess kept us singing. It wasn ' t long before we were wandering around the Festival grounds, lunching and bumping into old friends. The play itself, Cyrano de Bergerac, could only be described as superb. John Colicos was magnificent in the title role. We all nudged and pointed when Angela first appeared on stage and I guess we all pushed away a few tears during the final act. The play closed its two year run at Stratford with a standing ova- tion from the student audience, and then Eric Christmas conducted a ques- tion period, delighting us with his responses. We had scarcely devoured our boxed suppers when it was time to board buses that took us back to the train. Exhaust- ed as we pulled into Union Station at 9.00 p.m. we mumbled superlatives of pleasure and all decided to sign up again next year. Our thanks to Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Coutts whose arrangements and planning made this trip possible. MARGO CARRUTHERS Year Book, 1964 Page 47 BOARDING ANTICS Sherborne House You go to boarding school, you say? How dull! Not in Sherborne House. Where else could you find forty friendly girls under one roof? Where else could you get such excellent training in the science of being a woman? At Sher- borne House everything is done in strict accordance with the rules of etiquette and useful training for les jeunes filles. Everyone knows that booklearning is not everything that is necessary for a good education. That is why if you en- tered Sherborne some evening and were curious about the vibrations of music which you heard, you would know some conscientious girls were playing their radios and record players, strictly in the interests of a broader education. An even, well-balanced personality is an asset to every girl. One excellent test of a smooth temperament is telephone cooperation. To ease the congestion which sometimes occurs, we know of one girl who is content to make calls before breakfast. Breakfast brings to mind food: all Sherborne graduates can prepare an excellent cup of instant coffee or tea, together with hosts of unnamed delica- cies made from left-over bread, butter, marmalade, cheese dips and brown sugar. Beauty and good grooming are always stressed, and some Sherborne inmates have been so ardent in their pursuit of cleanliness that lady-like spats have occurred over first occupancy of the bath. Sleep is an immediately essential part of a girl ' s routine. Bearing this in mind, I believe that there is something to be caid for ignoring the first ricing bell. Sleep, nourishment, cleanliness, and a budding intellect: there is one thing lacking. Clothes make the man — or the woman, in this case. Let your mind rest at ease. Every Sherborne girl is always impeccably out-fitted in correct clothes. How is this always possible? Let us assume that each girl has five sweaters, for example. You have therefore 200 sweaters from which you may select the one ideal for each occasion. Share and share alike! That is our well-rounded character coming out again. You would love Sherb. as much as we do now. Boarding school is never dull. Ask any housemother ! She will tell you. MOLLY HARRIS Main House Once again we are happy to report that Main House is having a very pros- perous year. Although we have not been successful, as yet, in our various com- petitions with Sherborne House, it is only fair to say that Main House has had lots of house spirit. Aside from sports. Main has been as lively as ever. Who can forget the mad dashes for our bedrooms at devotions, dancing to the Beatles ' latest, and the dumb hours ? On behalf of everyone in Main House, Days of wine ond roses? Page 48 The Branksome Slogan I would like to thank Mrs. Cameron and all the staff for a really good year. And as for Sherb. — we ' ve got a lot of excellent volleyball players who are anxious to give you a real battle in the up-and-coming volleyball game. Buccleuch House This year has certainly been a suc- cessful one for Buccleuch, beginning with the basketball game between Main and Sherb, which we all attended, cheer- ing our loudest for Sherb. Two weeks later we all marched over to the pool, this time to cheer for Main. The meet was a success, with Sherb. the proud winners. Our Hallowe ' en party was fun for everyone. Miss Harle supplied us with refreshments which everyone welcomed. After we were through with our re- freshments and saying our good-byes to the staff members, we went shelhng out to the different houses. Then the Royal Winter Fair was the big attraction. We all piled into the buses, Buccleuch with Sherb. The show was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Our next event was the Christmas party. It turned out to be a great suc- cess, with the presents the main attrac- tion. Several of the staff members at- tended the party, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. As the year draws to a close, the To be or not to be. grade eight girls are looking forward to next year when they enter Main. I am sure they will always remember the fun and good times they had in Buccleuch. All the girls extend their thanks to Miss Harle and Mrs. Vagg for making this year a most pleasant and enjoyable one. KAREN EDWARD Epistle from an English Export, 1964 Last Spring, I was thinking that Can- ada was almost Eskimo-land, that you all spoke with a harsh accent, and everybody played lacrosse. When I was chosen as the exchange, people started kidding me that I would come back with a husband, a twangy accent and frostbite. Well, now I am in Toronto, and, as yet, I have acquired none of the three; and I am busy writing to my friends about the real Canada. The Exchange Schol- arship between Sherborne School for Girls and Branksome Hall is the chance of a lifetime. I cannot thank the authori- ties enough for giving it to me. I cannot thank you Branksomites for making it so marvellous. I only wish you could all come home and see the real England. Then maybe you would not think that all the English live in London, surrounded by fog, soaked by rain, sipping gallons of tea. Canada has really made me welcome ; an English accent works wonders in finding friends. I am enjoying every minute, and finding out all sorts of in- teresting things like green peppers, toasted Danishes, volleyball, sneakers and sweet potatoes, which never entered my vocabulary before. I hope Charlotte has found her exchange as much fun as I — that is, Heidi, Damaris, DamARis and DamAIRIS and me. Continue ' Up and On ' kids; Hope to see you. HYDE Page 50 The Branksome Slogan EXCERPTS FROM OLD SLOGANS A Foreword The decision of the Executive of the Alumnae of Branksome Hall to publish a semi-annual paper has been favour- ably received by the members, and cordial support has been promised. It is to be hoped that the undertaking 00,7 serve important purposes, and well re- ward those who share the labour and responsibility. . . . Those who are not familiar with Scotch speech may consider the sound of the name we have chosen for our magazine uncouth, if not barbaric. How- ever, we think it has vigor and vitality which suggests order and fidelity, with the Scottish connection suitable to a paper from Branksome Hall. Perhaps we may not apply its meaning very closely to our own peaceful intention — Branksomites in battle array, wildly brandishing slates and note-books, rush- ing with a v eird Gaelic yell upon the ranks of dull, red volumes might be the resulting picture — but in a broad sen-re the slogan of the Scots may safely apply to our wish and effort to gather all the friends of Branksome in close fel- lowship for good work and old tinier ' sake.

Shakespeare Today What is the status of Wilham Shakes- peare today? One might answer, Well, there ' s that Festival up in Stratford, and this is a good reply. Each season thousands of people visit the various Shakespearean Festivals in Canada and the United States. However, Shakes- peare does not just exist in the summer at a Festival or during the winter in a schoolroom. Shakespeare has penetrated into our daily life; and this penetration is worth studying, not because it is a contemporary subject, but because it is a kind of miracle. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-on-Avon in Warwickshire on April 23rd, 1564. His father, who had financial difficulties, was a trader. Shakespeare ' s youth, spent in the coun- try, affected his plays through the strength in his simple descriptions of rustic country life. With the exception of the Bible, no quantity of works by any author has survived for nearly four hundred years, continuing to be read by each generation. This is a kind of miracle. Shakespeare was drawn to London by the prospect of making a fortune. Drama was, at this time, popular enter- tainment. Theatres were newly built and there was a demand for plays. Shakes- peare had had enough education to un- dertake to supply them. The England of the times was a small kingdom, although it was growing. The countryside was composed of small, quiet villages. There was a strong mon- archy, a strong Church, and a strong economy. The Age was one of changes. Parlia- ment was asserting itself. The nobility had lost its importance. Shakespeare was aware of these changes, and many of his plays deal with the conflict that arises with changes from the old to the new, and with the question of who or what is right. Shakespeare ' s plays were popular be- cause Shakespeare was a master crafts- man, knowing what his public wanted. At a public theatre, a few nobles, many citizens, several foreigners, and quite a few pickpockets and thieves would com- pose the audience. These people wanted abnormal events to occur. They wanted to be shocked and they wanted to be amused. A few fights were to their lik- ing. The audience of Shakespeare ' s day came to be entertained as does the audi- ence of today, and Ben Jonson praises Shakespeare as the man whose plays drew crowds to the theatre. If Shakespeare was well known in his day, his importance can today scarcely be estimated. Besides being the most quoted man in history, men have been influenced by the messages written be- tween the lines of his plays, poems and sonnets. Mikhail Morozov tells the war- time story of some Soviet airmen who, when the German forces were on the outskirts of Moscow, were holding a meeting. Their commander suddenly in- terrupted himself, took out a copy of MacBeth and began to read. The listen- ers merged the characters with the Hitlerite nightmare around them. Shakespearean folk are often associ- ated with contemporaries. Brutus is the idealistic politician of today. Romeo is any of the love-sick adolescents you Year Book, 1964 Page 53 have known, or any of the bridegrooms, or even any of the young businessmen not yet experienced in the rat-race, that you may have met. This association is just one of the reasons why Shakespeare appeals to this generation. Young people say, While you ' re there you don ' t think — you for- get about everything. But when you come away, you realize you ' ve been through something — something that ' s made a difference — an experience. Tyrone Guthrie speaks of his first in- troduction to the Bard in this way: be- gan to feel what richness of character v as there; began to hear what melody was in the lines . . . my eyes and ears were opened. The richness of character and the melody are felt by thousands whenever Shakespeare ' s plays are performed, and the experience felt by the young peo- ple is enough reason to make sure that the plays are performed whenever pos- sible, no matter what the conditions. During the war, Maurice Evans toured his G.I. Hamlet through the United States with great success. His interpre- tation was highly acceptable to audi- ences that have all too little opportunity to see Hamlet at all. In Poland, little if anything of the prewar theatres remained. However, in 1947, amid the ruins of Warsaw, the Ministry of Fine Arts organized a Kon- kurs Szckspirowski in which twenty- three theatres took part. Othello and The Taming of the Shrev are the favourites of the Russians. Pas- ternak ' s translations are the latest So- viet endeavours. The first play seen was a 1748 free adaptation of Hamlet in which all the bad characters were killed and Hamlet married Ophelia. A Konkurs Szckspirowski was founded in Stratford, Ontario in 1952. Tom Patterson had come into contact with the classical theatre in London after the war. He wanted to start a per- manent Shakespearean Theatre in Can- ada. He and the Stratford Committee were determined that the project be a Canadian one in all aspects. The Stratford Festival was hailed with enthusiasm as a symbol of the new cul- tural spirit in Canada. Tyrone Guthrie explains this enthusiasm as a result of the awareness that Canada was a very dull place in which to live. There was a large demand for culture but only a very small supply to be had. For this reason, when the lights were dimmed for the first performance, the audience was ready. The pubUc wanted it to succeed. The Festival is now well established and is regarded as the first in North America. Our standards for our actors have been raised. Robertson Da vies com- ments on the speech of our country as being flat and ug ly. He says that our Pa e 54 The Branksome Slogan actors have nothing to lose and every- thing to gain by learning to speak the best and most expressive English in the world. What will the future hold for WilHam Shakespeare? Modern dress productions have been tried, usually with great suc- cess. Hamlet was performed in 1925 with Hamlet wearing a business suit. One of the things which surprised peo- ple most was to discover what an extra- ordinarily good play it was, and that the characters were as real and vital as Hamlet himself. An engineer of a mod- ern dress production has shocked his audience into thinking. Another modern dress version was produced, this time a Texas version of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream. Lys- ander and Demetrius carried guns and almost drew them in their quarrel. Puck wore a coonskin cap and lascoed f airies. Placards in The Comedy of Errors were inscribed v ith Ephesus for Eph- esians, Syracusans Go Home, and We like Duke Solinus for one com- A Puzzle pany ' s creation. At the wildest moment an Aegean strolled in carrying an over- sized carpet-bag. Shakespeare ' s future, no matter how uninhibited, seems to be glowing. A miracle is defined as a remarkable event, and the fact that Shakespeare has survived until today and, will prob- ably live until the end of history is cer- tainly a remarkable event. Think of how bereft we would be if Shakes- peare ' s father had been more success- ful, and had been able to send his boy to Oxford or Cambridge. However, John Shakespeare was not, and William Shakespeare did not. His audiences had the same experience that we have. I think Tyrone Guthrie ex- plains it best when he says, It took me a long time to ' get around ' to Shakespeare, but once around I ' ve stayed around and found in his works not merely professional interest, but material by which to live, spiritual meat and drink and light and heat.

Reading has more Educational Value than Travel A collection of good books contains all of the nobleness and wisdom of the world before us. A collection of books is the best of all universities. It is only since the invention of the printing press in the fifteenth century by Gutenberg that reading has become accessible to the great masses. Before that, books, laboriously handwritten, were rare and only a few of the aris- tocracy had access to them. Therefore, it may be said that the invention of printing revolutionized reading. How- ever, a great majority of the world is still illiterate, and cannot take advan- tage of this important educational me- dium. The advent of radio, television, telephones, and easier means of travel are supposed to be more valuable than reading. But do these media, particular- ly travel, really replace the educational value of reading or merely supplement it ? Much of the progress made in the last century was due to the use of books. Many of the Victorian prejudices disap- peared as people read about other coun- tries from books, newspapers, and pam- phlets. As these increased so did the general level of education. A man is himself — plus the books he reads. In recent years there has been a great deal of criticism about the decline of the importance of the three R ' s of which reading is probably the most im- portant. Without reading there would be no education at any level. A child ' s mind is attracted to fairy stories, an adolescent ' s mind is excited by adven- tures, and an adult ' s mind is stimulated by the thoughts and ideas of great thinkers, and amused by the novels of writers from many lands. Even though a person has finished his formal educa- tion he continually improves his mind and outlook through reading. In this hurried world many people do not have the time to sit down and leisurely read a book and, therefore, they falsely assume that it is just as good to improve your education by go and see for yourself or the go now. Page 56 The Branksome Slogan pay later plan. However, despite great improvements in transportation, exten- sive travel is still enjoyed only by the privileged few. Rushing through coun- tries, visiting only tourist attractions, and bringing back hundreds of pictures does not, by any means, become an ade- quate substitute for reading. It is very interesting to visit Shakespeare ' s birth- place or stand on the ruins of Elsinore castle, but this does not convey the beauty of his language. To travel be- tween London and Paris and sit in Dick- ens ' seat at the Cheshire Cheese is a wonderful experience, but this does not give one the same thrill as reading A Tale of Two Cities. Travelling is a beautiful experience and is wonderful for broadening one ' s mind, meeting personally people of other countries, and learning how they live, but of what use is it if one does not know the history and background of the country one visits. Often the tourist attractions are so commercial- ized that they are sometimes not worth seeing, but if one reads about the coun- try first one discovers other sights tucked away in a small village or valley. Nothing has yet replaced the educa- tional value of reading. Through it we learn about the past, contemplate the present and think about the future. TraveUing makes much of our reading three dimensional, and adds to one ' s better understanding of many views and thoughts read in books and maga- zines. Therefore, like so many other things, travel supplements reading, but does not replace it as the primary edu- cational medium. ANNE GREGOR At Sunrise The sun peeps over the hill at dawn; A stealthy figure stands on high. He whistles — A thunder of hoofs ; and then The silence of early dawn again. The silhouette of man and horse Stands out against the fiery red. A soothing voice— A gentle neigh. Then the creak of a door, and the smell of hay. The clank of a bucket on the floor; The swish of the oats within the pail. A nicker of thanks — Then steps on the floor, And sunlight streams through an open door. The sound of steps hard on the stone; The clink of a bit, and slap of the reins. He heaves the saddle Up on the back, And tightens the girth so it is not slack. The stirrups jangle as they are let down; Another notch is taken in. He hfts his foot And leaves the ground. He is in the saddle; he hears the hounds! The thunder of hoofs hard on the turf; The mournful baying of the hounds. They love it all, In the early mom. As they ride to the tune of a hunter ' s horn! NANCY FALCONER lA What do you think of this? Every time Mary tried to take a picture of Miss Sime the camera wouldn ' t work! Year Book, 1964 Page 57 Page 58 The Branksome Slogan AN UNFORGETABLE EVENT Two summers ago the orchestra and dancers of the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan, were invited by Mrs. Jaquehne Kennedy to perform on the lawn of the White House. I attended the camp that summer, and was fortu- nate enough to participate in this mem- orable event. After much competition and hard work, one hundred and ten of us chosen from almost two thousand students, flew to Washington aboard two DC 7 ' s, and arrived there the night before the concert. We slept in the U.S. Army barracks, which were comprised of a mass of wooden buildings. The accom- modation was much more comfortable than I had expected. The next morning we all ate breakfast in the mess hall . Although I had feared some sort of burnt porridge, I found before me a colourful array of foods which would have been acceptable for the finest restaurant. After breakfast two Army buses drove us to the White House. The per- formance was scheduled for ten-thirty in the morning because Washington is extremely hot and humid in the sum- mer. When we were all assembled in a specially constructed shell, the high- light of our trip came. President Ken- nedy himself mounted the platform and addressed us, welcoming everyone to the White House. He explained to the audience, made up mostly of crippled children and servicemen, how much self-discipline and work it takes to be- come a musician, and that the popular- ity of the arts was increasing in the United States. Photographs definitely did not do the late President justice. He was a man of average height with a gorgeous physique. His hair was slightly bleached by the sun, and he had a deep tan. The girls in the orchestra unani- mously agreed that he was a truly rav- ishing sight. Following the concert, which seemed to be enjoyed by the audience, we were invited into the White House for lunch, served on President Theodore Roose- velt ' s china. It was said that we had more freedom in the White House than any other visiting group, because we were permitted to enter any part un- accompanied except the private quar- ters. Then came a very engrossing tour of Washington, which I found to be a dig- nified and picturesque city. We saw most of the historic monuments, such as the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, as well as the Tomb of the Unknown Sol- dier in Arlington Cemetery where Presi- dent Kennedy is now buried. All too soon we were aboard the aeroplanes again, headed back to Inter- lochen. This experience will surely stand out in all our minds as long as we live, especially since President Kennedy ' s tragic death. Now I will be able to tell my grand- children that I once saw one of the United States ' great Presidents in per- son. ERICA GOODMAN HA Confusion somewhere has made its masterpiece; a student was heard to exclaim, Miss Physics, I ' m confused about my Claxton! Year Book, 1964 Page 59 We ' re Sixty Now! There ' ve been a lot of changes made Twixt now and last September, And Branksome ' s Diamond Jubilee Has been one that we ' ll remember. READ WALK We used to say Keep well the road , And had to — on Mount Pleasant; The cars went past at breakneck speed ; Why, safe? It simply wasn ' t. Morning, noon, and after school Our girls held up the masses; But that was in the days before They thought of overpasses! We never cross Mount Pleasant now, No longer need to fear it ; We used to say Keep well the road . But now we don ' t go near it! MacNEILL HOUSE Though Miss MacNeill fought long and hard Against the name MacNeill House , There just was no alternative For Bra nksome ' s package-deal house. There ' s wardrobes, sinks-in-every-room, And showers! With hot water! And telephone booths, and desks that have A technicolor blotter. MacNeill ' s superb, but Miss MacNeill Keeps one thought deep within her; She cannot help but feel that it ' s A long, long way to dinner! Our Diamond Jubilee has been A mighty undertaking; We ' re growing up — We ' re sixty now ! A long life in the making. The Personality of Man Is it not true that a man or a woman possessed of an honourable character will demand to live in an honourable society? Those whose personalities are particularly corrupt, will they not live in a degraded society, and be content to do so? A man in a community whose unofficial law is live and let live is bound to be the passive owner of an exclusive personal degradation. Yet, if an honourable society is encouraged by the men and women who live in it, that society will endure and prevail. Thus the personality of man determines whether history progresses in pros- perity or sinks to a low ebb in a tide of despair. LAURIE LAMBE, VP Respite The leaves lifted and stirred on the ancient oak. And the weary earth rejoiced For the respite that it brought. But the relief it carried soon faded; And the earth sank back and pondered The aftermath of a breeze. SHELLEY VARLEY, IVB VIRGINIA BROWN lA Page 60 The Branksome Slogan What is a Day? A day is what you make it, Not something made for you. It all depends on how you feel And what you want to do. Indecision comes to many, And will likely cause a frown. Stand up for your convictions, And don ' t be beaten down. For convictions are the strength of man, Providing that they feel Whatever they accomplish Is worthy of their zeal. Why be a stubborn hermit ? It will cause you great despair. A kindly word and helpful deed Are surely yours to share. For life is filled with pleasures, But also filled with pain. So if you ' re optimistic You ' ll take the brighter lane. Don ' t sit around just waiting For your wishes to come true. A day is what you make it. Not something made for you. BEVERLEY BOWEN IIB We love the Beatles tool The Wind Sighed Softly The wind sighed softly o ' er her head As she lay in her woodland nook, A mat of grasses for her bed, The skies her open book. Flow ' rs, their petals closely tight, Bowed their tiny heads; And stars glowed dimly through the night As she slept in her woodland bed. ELIZABETH KEITH, lA Simply Many are the songs in Nature ' s praise— The mountains and lakes, rivers and fields. The trees and grass, and sun and clouds ; Why then, in a breathless moment of bliss. Do I, when looking up to the glory of the skies. Still merely say, Lord God, it ' s beautiful ? Many are the pretty pieces of prose Describing a girl ' s first, innocent love, The joy of giving, receiving, sharing; Why then, remembering my happiness. Do I still feel fresh and uniquely blessed. And only say, Lord God, it ' s good to love ? Many are the essays learned and profound Explaining the v hat ' s and v hy ' s of life, Exploring man ' s mind and the Scriptures ; Why then, instead of meditating like them, Do I still just feel in my heart Lord God, I ' m glad to be alive! GLORIA KOENIG, VE Year Book, 1964 Page 61 Branksome Beauties Page 62 The Branksome Slogan This is Canada Spring comes not as a gentle sweet lady, Skipping and laughing and waking each flower, With gentlest warmth and delicate artistry, Not in this land — It roars in, and wild winds tear at the trees ; Crashing and roaring, ice shatters in fragments. And the floods have the land in possession once more: Fiercely and wildly March rushes in With torrents of rainfall and merciless winds. Do the daintily swirling and timidly dancing Snowflakes silently fall, Covering so gently the ground with a blanket Glimmering in diamonds and jewels? Fierce Northern winds kill grass and late flowers, Freezing all life, and then follow the snows ; In howling and blizzards and sweeping they bury The prairies and forests in sinister silence. Summer, it comes not with delicate breezes, And sunshine so gentle, and roses of perfume ; The songs of sweet birds who twitter at twilight Are rarely heard in July in this land. Sweltering, the fierce sun so boldly beats down. Steaming the cities and searing the country In shimmering, hazy, winter-white heat. Canada is fierce, and her seasons are, too; Wild are her Spring and her Summer and Winter; But the loveliest time in our beautiful land Is found in her glorious autumn of colour: Splendour on splendour of crirncon and orange. Among noble green pines and the poplars of gold. Painting our forests in deep and wild beauty: Gloriously free is this land our home. MARGOT VANDERPLOEG, VP On Geometry She is my teacher: I shall not pass. She maketh me to go to the board ; she compelleth me to draw difficult tri- angles. She giveth me zero. She maketh me to sit down for my class ' sake. Yet though I study, still I gain no knowledge, for my propositions sorely bother me. She prepareth a test before me in the presence of my class mates. She giveth me zero. Surely failures will follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the geometry class for ever. SHEELAGH NORTHEY IIA Year Book, 1964 Page 63 P. R ' s Plusieurs Professeurs Page 64 The Branksome Slogan Hickory Limbing Today I would like to tell you how cowardice and deceit can help you get ahead with your advanced-skiing friends; in other words, about Hickory Limb Skiing. (Remember the rhyme about hanging your clothes on the hick- ory limb but not going near the water?) Hickory Limbers are those who enjoy skiing, but already ski about as well as they ever will, which is definitely not as well as most of their friends. The first goal of Hickory Limbing is to get rid of unwanted assistance; the second is to ski and enjoy it; and the third is to save face. I know how to do all three, as I am an avid and accomplished Hick- ory Limber; in fact, I am so good that nobody knows I am doing it! I have five basic rules which I follow to the letter in practising Hickory Limb- ing: RULE No. 1 — Since the real reason for Hickory Limbing is that you al- ways travel with ' Real Skiers , you must never ski with beginners. By skiing with the pro ' s of the sport, you will establish innocence-by-associa- tion. RULE No. 2 — As soon as you step into the car, start working. Advocate going to different and more difficult Seven little maids om school are we, ' slopes, and skipping lunch; then gra- ciously let yourself be overruled. The point here is to establish sincerity. RULE No. 3 — Dress Real. This does not mean in the snazziest co-ordinated stretch outfit on the market. Wear knickers or jeans, for these are the status signs of Real Skiers . At least twenty-five per cent of your equip- ment should be battle-scarred. Be sure your ski poles have small baskets, and that your boots are not brown, square-toed jobs, for those are de- finitely signs of non-pro ' s. On your ski jacket there should be no old tow tickets, for these show the limit to the number of times you have skied. Badges from overseas are permitted, as long as you know something about the areas indicated. Rule No. 4 — Spend your time freely. Buy all the day tickets in lieu of cou- pons for single rides: This rules out the problem of explaining unused stubs. Eat heartily — buying food is buying time. Also, if ski supplies are for sale at the top of the mountain, stock up on goggles and extra laces, and ask for things likely to be stashed at the back of the shop. Pay now. Ski later when no one is looking! RULE No. 5 — Study. Get a trail map first thing in the morning, and mem- orize the places where the easy trails cut into the hard ones, near the bot- tom. Master the unnamed connecting trails that will enable you to avoid the hard parts, but let you be seen starting and finishing on it. Be sure to make it to the top at least once, for no apres-ski discussion is com- plete without some mention of condi- tions at the top. Ninety-five per cent of the time you will be safe saying it was ten above at the top of the chair- lift, and that the main trail was icy Year Book, 1964 Page 65 in the middle but good on the sides. Remember, too, to surface often. By this I mean, go to the lift line and stand there fixing your harness, un- til a few people you know go by on the chair and wave to you. Then duck back to the Nursery slopes. A full day of activity is a must : be sure to be the last one off the slopes. Since Real Skiing will grow and human nature will remain what it is, I predict that Hickory Limbing is in for a boom. If you love life more than skiing itself. Hickory Limbing provides a pleasant principle for survival: if you can ' t lick ' em — don ' t join ' em! IRENE MAYWOOD, IIIB Philosophy of Life The tears flow freely ; The eyes are glazed ; The mind seeks sadly But thoughts are dazed. The latest disaster — How stunning a blow, Paramount today But forgotten tomorrow. How fruitless a pastime — The creation of rivers. For in Life ' s block Childhood sorrows are slivers. Shed no tears For present sadness ; Think of the future With tomorrow ' s gladness. MARY WALKER VE Mrs. Warner: I saw a wonderful picture of Picasso with a dove sitting on his head. Nancy: That ' s dangerous! Peacefulness As down the peaceful path I strolled, A rippling brook went gurgling past ; Such beauty I could not o ' erlook. For it was all about me. A leaf came softly fluttering dov n, And landed gently as on a cloud Upon the stream, and followed its path Slowly, slowly, slowly. A gentle fawn came down to drink ; His soft coat gleamed and softly shone, Perfecting the spell cast all around Of peace as at the dawn. A silvery fish then leaped upright, Catching the sun on his shining back ; A beautiful arc against the sky Was shown in a spray of blue. As I turned away from this peaceful spot And began my journey home, I wished the earth in all its tumult Could see this place in all its quiet And emerge in peace as one. JUDY PENDRITH, IIB Don ' t you think that ' s an outrageous price. Page 66 The Branksome Slogan A Summer Storm All is calm, still and hushed ; Along the horizon up to the sky Dark clouds soar To frightening heights; A storm is drawing nigh. Frightened breezes ripple the leaves, Rushing to escape The coming gloom. As up from the horizon Like waves the storm clouds loom. The sky above is gray, But from some hidden source An eerie light casts An iridescent glow On all its course. The heavens are heavy. And the air hangs lame. Over the sun-parched land ; And all below in silent prayer Await in hope the rain. A fork of light, a crackle of thunder Exploding above the trees, Breaking all tension with its clap. Now falls the rain to hush the noise, To put the world at ease. SUSAN DUNCANSON lA Viking Raid Through the green and tossing North- ern Waters, Through the salt-wet spray, with square-sails flapping. And oars in rhythm, with sea-gull ' s swiftness Came longships; Viking longships, to our bay. But we fled as the great sea-dragons near ' d: We the Saxons: we the mighty English Saw the heathen Norsemen steal and ravage, Saw them running treasure-laden to their ships; And as they laughing sailed away, in us Stirr ' d old feelings which our fathers put aside When they came to farm this green Britannia- — We v ished we too might glide forth from the bay. VICTORIA MANTHORPE lA We know a class that knows the method of making sure that half the period is wasted — make the teacher search for a piece of soft chalk more than an eighth of an inch long. Year Book, 1964 Page 67 Ode to the Earthworm O Earthworm, lying dead and pale Upon a plate of glass, Were you the victim of a Grade Thirteen Zoology class? Alas ! did fate extract you Away from home and friends ? Take comfort raw, my slimy one, Your life in glory ends. For though the girls, O sadists they, Of you and yours thought not, And probed within you viciously, ' Twas knowledge that they sought. So, Earthworm, pray to Alpha To keep your soul in rest ; For though you died a tragic death You gave science of your best. MARTHA KILGOUR, IVA Rain Rain is romantic, Alluring, Spellbinding, Enveloping One in an aura Of memories — Memories of a lost love.

JOANNE MACKAY, IIB Page 82 The Branksome Slogan CAMPBELL—Ne Obliviscaris The Campbells are coming, hurrah, hurrah ! For the gathering of clans their banner flies high, Win, lose, or draw, they always do try; Though eskimo pies won ' t fall to the clan Still the Campbells keep coming, hurrah, hurrah! Perseverance will conquer, so on and on. Let ' s talk about contests the Campbells have won. In basketball they reached their peak. With a hard won victory in the A team league And a mighty good fight in the B and C! Their artistic talent was displayed before all In Campbell ' s art gallery up on the wall. It ' s been wonderful serving with everyone ' s backing For Campbell Clan spirit has never been lacking. It ' s been a good year, no doubt about that; But wait till next year when the chieftain is Pat, And more Campbells keep coming, hurrah, hurrah! JUDY DOUGLAS — Jamais Arriere Thank you, Douglases, for your wonderful help and support this year. I know you all tried your best to help the clan and that, of course, is the most important thing. The first big clan event of the year was the clan gathering. Although we placed at the wrong end of the list, we all had lots of fun. On Sports day we did much better, placing third. In November we held our most im- portant meeting of the year — twice! C CLAN CHIEFTAINS LEFT TO RIGHT— Judy Sissons, Katie Robertson, Ginny Flavelle, Carol Stone. Year Book, 1964 Page 83 From three excellent candidates, Anne Donohue, Marilyn McLellan, and Mary Lee Plaunt, you chose Marilyn to be sub-chieftain. I know that with your support she will do a tremendous job as chieftain next year. Best of luck, Marilyn ! Your wonderful cooperation was evi- dent during marching week, when we placed first. After very exciting basketball games your B and C teams were unfortunately defeated in the first rounds, but your A team reached the second round before defeat. I know all the teams appreciated your enthusiastic support during these games. As the second term begins, so will clan volleyball, badminton, bowling, swimming, and later baseball. I know your great spirit and enthusiasm will be your strength. We will be putting up our clan poster in May; and with the help of all the Douglases, it can only be a success. Well, have a terrific summer, and be sure to come back in the fall with the same wonderful Douglas spirit you ' ve shown this year. GINNY MacALPINE— Guinach Bas Alpan Well, MacAlpines, it is because of your terrific enthusiastic interest in the success of your clan that we have done so well this year. At the beginning of the year we were well represented at the clan gathering; and after a very exciting afternoon, MacAlpine achieved third position. The next clan competition was Sports Day, when MacAlpine was victorious. A great many of you tried out for the basketball teams ; and I am delighted to CLAN CHIEFTAINS LEFT TO RIGHT— Sharon Mather, Janet Tompson, Helen Heinz, Cathy Ament. Page 84 The Branksome Slogan say that our B and C teams won all of their matches. The scores were very close and the games were thrilling. I am sure you are all as happy as I about the election of our new sub-chief- tain, Vicki Pearse. I know she will do a wonderful job in leading you next year. In the annual Art Contest sponsored by the Alumnae, MacAlpine did very well and achieved second place. Keep up the good spirit, girls, and don ' t forget MacAlpine. SHARON MacGREGOR— Our Race is Royal Congratulations, MacGregors! Under Carol Cowan ' s tremendous leadership you won the clan competition for 1962- 63. Carol is now a school prefect, Frances Shepherd is Head Girl, Damaris Easter- brook is the Sherborne rep. We ' re all very proud of these three clan members. The clan year began in late September with the Gathering of the Clans. Due to rainy weather the clan ' s premiere was held in the gym. Our cheering, shouting, and lost voices did not avail — we placed second. Shortly after the Gathering came Sports Day. My congratulations to Sharon and the entire MacAlpine clan for their fantastic round-up of most of the prizes. In basketball, as in everything, we did our best. The B team was strong enough to make it to the final round, where they lost by a very small margin. With volleyball, swimming, badminton, and bowling underway, and much more to come, we ' re really showing our spirit. Our poster went up on December 9th after much hard work. I ' d like to extend special thanks to Elspeth Mackintosh as the hardest worker of them all. Of the three very capable nominees for sub-chieftain, Anne Housser, Ruth Anne Whipp, and Carol Paddon, the latter was elected. (The third Carol in succession to be a MacGregor chieftain) . All the best, Carol: they ' re a tremen- dous group, and I hope you will find next year as rewarding as I have found this. Best wishes to all of you; I loved my whole term as chieftain. PEBBLE McLEAN— Virtue Mine Honour Dear McLeans: Greetings and salutations! The Jubi- lee Year of 1963-64 has so far been tremendously successful. The first big get-together was the gathering of the clans, which was held in the gymnasium as a result of adverse chmatic condi- tions, i.e., rain. We emerged in fourth place. Sports Day was not a day to remember as glorious for our clan, but it was a nice outing. In basketball our B and C teams both reached the semi- finals and were there defeated by the eventual winners. Before Christmas you chose Helen Worts as your sub-chieftain from three excellent nominees. The last clan effort was our poster: we welcomed the new Leap Year with a jumping pink ele- phant As we look forward to clan volleyball, baseball, badminton and bowling, I hope that your spirit as a clan will continue at its high tide, and I thank each of you for making this year the success it was ! Thanks and have fun. KATIE McLEOD— Hold Fast With fifty-two girls from the senior school working so well together as a team we are sure to bring fame to the McLeod clan — and we already have, al- though we are only half way through the year. In the Fall we had to have the Clan Year Book, 1964 Page 85 gathering in the gym because of rain but this did not dampen our spirits al- though we must admit that our talent was ' all wet ' . But never mind — we helped to bring our average up on Sports Day with the many little ribbons fluttering across the top of our banner. As for Basketball — well — we had fun anyway! But we did come first in the school Art and Photography Contest. We still have Volleyball (which looks very hopeful), Swimming, our Poster, Tennis, Bowling and Baseball results to come, and I know that with your ter- rific enthusiasm we will be able to keep our motto Hold Fast . This year we were fortunate enough to have our very own Clan Song — writ- ten specially for us — thanks to talented Libby Stephens of First Form. In November we chose our sub-chief- tain from the ardent third form and it was difficult with such excellent nomi- nees as Barb. Albrecht, Gail McKinnon and Pat. Michie. Congratulations to Gail McKinnon who came out on top. She has been a terrific help in many ways and will be a great leader next year. Thanks to Sue McMullen, last year ' s chieftain, for her aid in moments of need and to each McLeod personally for her enthusiastic support. I have really enjoyed being chieftain this year and am proud to know that I am leaving in capable hands the best group of girls ever. HELEN ROSS — Spem Successus Alit Here it is — the end of another school year! How time does fly! Why it seems like only yesterday that at the gather- ing of the clans Rosses ran, hopped, and cheered to victory in the gym packed with hundreds of enthusiastic girls. I ' m sure that everyone enjoyed herself im- mensely despite the rainy weather out- side. Then, our loyal spirit never waver- ing, the Rosses ably supported their re- presentatives in the events of Sports Day. Gathered around our bright tartan banner, we were thrilled to hear the announcement: over-all standing — Ross second; clan relay — Ross second; run- ner-up to senior championship — Ellen Stuart. Our artists and paper cutters were given an opportunity to display their talents early in the year. We were chosen to produce the very first clan poster of Branksome ' s Diamond Jubilee Year. Our chance to decorate the board with the school colours and crest had come; and after much cutting, measur- ing, and spraying of paper, as well as each other, we created the October poster. By this time, the basketball season was in full swing. So many Rosses were anxious to play for our clan that I had a very difficult time choosing only three teams. Our B and C teams mad a noble attempt but unfortunately were unsuc- cessful. Our A team, however, after a very exciting and well-played game against Campbell in the finals, became runner-up. Now, as the end of January is just around the corner, we are all looking forward with great glee to volleyball, badminton, bowling, swimming, and The Gathering of the Clans.

Our sub-chieftain, Beverly Bayley, was chosen from three excellent third formers. She has already proven most helpful and enthusiastic, and we all sin- cerely wish her the very best of luck next year. I have never enjoyed anything more than being your chieftain, Rosses. Thank you for making this special year so pleasant for me, and I hope you all found it a very rewarding experience. Have a wonderful summer and return with just as much spirit next year! JANET SCOTT— Amo Probos In sports this year Scotts have par- ticipated in badminton, bowling, volley- ball, and basketball. Both the A and C basketball reached the semi-finals; somehow they didn ' t quite make it all the way, but the spirit was there ! In early November we had our clan luncheon. The entertainment was pro- vided by Jan Cavanaugh who played her guitar and sang. She really made the party. In February we put up our clan poster, and our appropriate theme was Valentines. Thanks to Jennifer Dykes Lo-o-n-n-g jump. we had a darling little boy and girl sur- rounded by Cupids. From four terrific nominees, Sonja Morawetz, Penny Plant, Jennifer James, and Jeannie Fraser, Sonja was voted sub-chieftain. Sonja and I would like to thank all of you for the enthusiasm and support you have given us this past year. Have a really great holiday, Scotts! You de- serve it! CATHY The Gathering of the Clans Unfortunately the weatherman did not cooperate this year and the Gath- ering of the Clans was held in the gym. However, even a little drizzle could not dampen our spirits. Due to the enthusiasm of eight clans the afternoon was most successful. Amid many laughs eight well-dressed (?) chieftains raced from one end of the gym to the other and back again. This event brought the Gathering of the Clans to a close. Congrats, Rosses, on your co-ordination. VALERIE BERWICK Old Girls ' Swim Meet On Friday night, January 10, the swimming pool was packed full of cheering girls from Main House, Sher- borne House, Day School, and old girls. Many exciting races took place, includ- ing the candle and pajama relays. We also enjoyed some very good diving. It was a very exciting meet, and it ended in a win for the day girls. Second was Sherb., third were the old girls, and fourth was Main House. MISTY PLAUNT Year Book, 1964 Page 87 Swim Team The first meet of the year was at B.S.S., a very important one because we were swimming for the cup. The meet started off with a bang, and from the first race to the last B.H.S. and B.S.S. fought for first place, with Havergal hard on their heels. No one knew who had won, and there was a tense silence as everyone awaited the results. There was no silence after the results, though : B.S.S. came first, beating B.H.S. by only two points, and Havergal came third. We had to forfeit the cup, but I have no doubt that we will get it back next year if the girls try as hard as they did this year. The next two meets did not mean much, but we certainly had fun at them. At the meet at Havergal, B.S.S. again edged out B.H.S. by a few points, but the team still had a good time. The final meet of the year was held here at Branksome. The swimmers? Why, the tadpoles and juniors of each team. It wasn ' t to start until 3:30, but our eager beavers were down at 2:30, ready to go in. This meet was also very close, but this time B.H.S. came out on top, with Havergal second and B.S.S. third. I would like to congratulate there girls very much, and I hope they will keep up the good work. CAROL WARRINGTON SCHOOL SVV1. L UNG TEAM BACK ROW — M. Wilson, S. Duncanson, P. Reid, E. Macintosh, S.

ABSENT— Diane Bean. First Team The first team started out very well this year, winning two out of three games at the Round Robin. All three were very exciting, especially the one against B.S.S., which we won by only one point. The other two games had their thrills too; we could hardly keep Mrs. Eaton in her seat. Unfortunately we had to forfeit the cup this year, but I hope that the girls next year will be able to win it back. Branksome vs. Havergal lost 28 - 25 Branksome vs. St. Clement ' s lost 28 - 19 Branksome vs. B.S.S. lost 22 - 18 Round Robin On Saturday morning, October 19th, Branksome, St. Clements, Havergal, and B.S.S. met at Havergal to play the annual round robin. Some very exciting and interesting games were played, and we all felt that we learned a good deal from them. The scores were as follows: 1st Team Branksome vs. St. Clements — won 7-6 Branksome vs. B.S.S. — won 9-8 Branksome vs. Havergal — lost 2-18 2nd Team Branksome vs. St. Clements — won 9-8 Branksome vs. B.S.S. — tied 6-6 Branksome vs. Havergal — lost 6-7 MISTY PLAUNT Year Book, 1964 Page 89 Second Team The second team started off an excit- ing season with the Round Robin at Havergal. Having won two of three games, we looked forward to future competition. Who can forget the game at St. Clement ' s, played outside in below freezing temperatures, to gain a victory, even if it was accompanied by a cold? All the games were very close, and a defeat by B.S.S. by a basket scored in the last minute, along with a tied game at Havergal, combined to make this season a rewarding one. Branksome vs. Havergal lost 25 - 16 Branksome vs. St. Clement ' s won 14 - 9 Branksome vs. B.S.S. lost 35 - 33 Clan Basketball The fall term is always a busy basket- ball season, and this year was no excep- tion. All the clans had enthusiastic A, B, and C teams; all the games were excit- ing, and five of the eight clans reached the finals. On December 12th, Scott and MacAlpine played the finals of the C team, and MacAlpine was victorious. The B team finals were played Friday the 13th, between MacAlpine and Mac- Gregor, and MacAlpine must surely feel that that was its lucky day! On the 16th, Campbell and Ross battled for A team honours, and Campbell was the victor. Congratulations to everyone for her enthusiastic effort!

Sports Day Not quite the Highland Games but just as much fun, Sports Day was at- tended by many enthusiastic partici- pants and spectators. Amid many cheers Jane Storey not only won the School Cup for the Hun- dred Yard Dash, but was Senior Cham- pion too. Jackie Bryers, second in the Hundred Yard Dash, was the Intermedi- ate Champion. Ellen Stuart was runner- up to Jane, and Susan Storey was run- ner-up to Jackie. Congratulations are extended to Miss Lane, Mrs. Eaton, and Miss Van Fleet for a successful, fun-filled Sports Day. Congrats to the MacAlpine Clan and its fine athletes. VALERIE BERWICK Third Team This year the third team worked to- gether as a real team; this, along with Mrs. Eaton ' s great coaching, brought us out victorious in all our games. The first was against St. Mildred ' s at Brank- some — 27 to 8 ; the second was at Hav- ergal — 27 to 18; against St. Clement ' s we won 21 to 11; and against B.S.S. we won 32 to 15. Year Book, 1964 Page 91 Fourth Team Under the much appreciated coaching of Mrs. Eaton, the fourth basketball team had a most exciting and successful season. Following a rather hard blow from Havergal, their first opponents, the team quickly pulled up their socks and conquered a strong team from St. Mildred ' s. Many exciting baskets later, we tied in a thrilling game against St. Clement ' s. Then, to conclude a most re- warding season, we defeated B.S.S. Branksome vs. Havergal lost 17 - 10 Branksome vs. St. Mildred ' s won 23-5 Branksome vs. St. Clement ' s tied 10 - 10 Branksome vs. B.S.S. won 27 - 20 Something Old — - Something New In October the old girls returned to match their skill in basketball against the present first and second teams. It proved to be an exciting game as reen by the score — 20 to 14 for the present girls. To add to the fun, the third form sang some songs which they applied to the old girls, making them feel quite at home.

Year Book, 1964 Page 93 Branksome at Osier One Monday in the middle of Febru- ary, about fifty girls went to Osier Bluff Ski Club in Collingwood with Miss Lane. Osier is always crowded, but on that particular day it was even more so, be- cause students from U.C.C. were also present. The skiing was very fast due to icy slopes, but the skies were blue and the sun was shining. Fortunately, at the end of the day there were no broken bones, and all could say that they had had a lot of fun. GEALE WINDEYER Intermediate Volleyball The intermediate volleyball team, composed of first and second formers, had a very successful £:eason, winning all their games. Their first game was against St. Mildred ' s, and Branksome was victorious in all of the three games played. Next came Havergal, and the team was again able to win all three games. After a week of practice, they were ready for B.S.S. and were again victorious. JUDY ORR INTERMEDIATE VOLLEYBALL TEAM BACK ROW — M. A. Graham, L. Kupchesky, V. Henshavv. MIDDLE ROW — L.

After many exciting games, the results for Branksome were as follows. Juniors — undefeated. Intermediates — won four out of six. Seniors — won one out of six. JUDY ORR • Did you know that Mrs. Warner thinks the Beatles are really quite brainy? Baseball 1963 Another victory for Branksome, this time in baseball ; Havergal was defeated by both the Junior and Senior teams. The games were very exciting, and were enjoyed by players and spectators alike. The teams demonstrated excellent coop- eration and ability, which proved too much for Havergal. The highlight of the game was a sudden downpour of rain, which forced the senior game to be called after the fifth inning. DAPHNE PALMER HADVIINTON lEWi BACK ROW — J. Orr, C. Ament, E. Martin, S.

The houses struggled the best could ; The boats were tied in case they would Drift endlessly on and on And never return to the town of St. John. The fishing boats out there in the water Stood the best they could, and fought her. All the inhabitants said a prayer. Lest they may not see again their Friends and brothers in that poor boat Trying desperately to keep afloat. And suddenly, as if their prayers were answered, The furious storm they ceased to hear. Then once again the v aters were stilled. The day became clear and the sky became filled With Hght ; and so the peaceful sea Became once again a fishery.

Safe in the fold, Out of the way of the weather so cold. Where do you sleep, calf? Safe in the byre, Here it is warm, as by any fire. Where do you sleep, robin ? Safe in the nest. Oh, such a warm place, a soft place to rest. Where do you sleep, child? Safe in a manger. My mother keeps me warm, away from cold and danger. JANE CAMERON.

The boats line up for the starter ' s gun ; The sailing races have begun. Over the line we sail! It ' s done! The flag drops quick and we have won ! MARGOT HALL, Grade 7B Eventually we got them organized. The Change of Weather In May the days Are long and bright ; After dinner It still is light. I can still Play at night, As if I was playing In morning light. November days Are not so fair; The wind has blown the trees all bare. At five the skies Are very dark ; I have to come home From the park. But December brings The soft white snow; The frost does make My cheeks to glow. ELSPETH READ, Grade 4 The Bee She wakened in the morning. She felt alone, alone. She buzzed from flower to flower. And still she was alone. She worked the lonely hours away ; She gathered from the mountain flowers. And close at hand the spider ' s babes Had watched her so alone. She travelled up the mountain side, While the spider ' s babes kept watch. And then a careless move she made Toward the spider ' s hungry web. And hordes of spiders fed on her. On her and her alone. And she had wakened in the morn, Alone, alone, alone.
