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

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.
