YEAR BOOK, 1965 Page 9 HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE Dear Branksomites : I know, as I write this, that it is impossible to express in a few para- graphs the sum total of a year ' s experiences. Too many things hap- pen in eight months of school to be dismissed in three hundred words. For me, this year has been an ex- perience which I shall always re- member. It has been exciting, chal- lenging, hair-raising, and gratify- ing, and I thank you for it. But how do you feel about 1964- 1965? Are you satisfied with your efforts? At Branksome we demand all you can give — your energy, co- operation, enthusiasm and support. I hope that the years you have spent, or will spend here, make you content to give nothing less in life. A special place in my thoughts is reserved for my boarders — ' ' my , because I have had the chance to get to know the boarders best of all. From early morning (shivering on the infirmary steps ' ' checking walk ) until the legendary lights-out bell, we have literally lived together. My affectionate thanks goes to the prefects (cohors praetoria!), the sub-prefects and all the Hne monitors, who suffered through endless debates only to decide that the shortest distance between two class officers was not a straight line. The Junior School I congratulate on what, according to all reports, has been a most successful year. May I express the gratitude of all you girls and myself to Miss MacNeill and the staff. Let us remember that without them, there would be no Branksome Hall as we know it. Lastly, I would like to extend my best wishes to the graduates of 1965, as pluming wings for higher flight, they leave this school life behind. In closing, I wish you a happy holiday and the best of luck in all your endeavours in the years to come. Sincerely, CHERYL

Page 1 0 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE imTALLATlOlS OF PREFECTS The excited chatter ceased suddenly and an expectant hush fell over the assembly at Rosedale United Church, As the processional filled the sanctuary, we strained to catch ghmpses of our new school leaders in a most important event of their school life— their installation as our prefects and clan chieftains. Led by a guard of honour, the colourful procession filed past; the clan chieftains with their banners, the old prefects with the school flags, the sub-prefects, the new prefects in their Royal Stuart, and finally our Head Girl. They were followed by the stalf , Miss MacNeill, and our guest speaker, Mr. Norman McLeod. The service began with God Save the Queen. In her introduction. Miss MacNeill reviewed for us some of the traditions of the School. She spoke on the beginning of the prefect system here, and on the choosing of our motto and special Bible passage, emphasizing the spiritual qualities for which Branksome girls should be known. Then the clan chieftains were called forward to introduce themselves PREFECTS Back Row: C. Stone, J. Thompson, E. Morrison, N. Harris, S. Varley, S. Wilson, M. Carruthers. Front Row: M. Fearon, J.
