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 ! MARY PATTERSON

Year Book, 1964 Page 15 Head Girl ' s Message Keep Well the Road Four simple words upon which a tradition was founded, and our school has grown; so that this year we celebrate our six- tieth anniversary with her four colours flying proudly over us. 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 .
