YEAR BOOK, 1965 Page 25 OPHELEO REPORT 1964-1965 Even the little that you can do for others, wherever you are, goes farther than you know. Many Branksomites realize now that this is true, after they personally helped to make the greatest Ramabai success ever, through their enthusiasm in the ever popular bake sales, Prefects ' Auction, shoeshines, and private room monitors. The largest sum ever, of $1,015 was raised in the shortest amount of time. We were able to send extra donations to the Ramabai Mukti Mission for deserted child widows and orphans, and to double our amount to our own United Appeal. After donations to the Zenana Bible and Medical Mission in India for the support of a teacher and an orphan, to the Nazareth, Bethlehem and Ludhiana hospitals and the Grenfell Mission, we still had enough left over for needy missions here in Toronto. Girls, you have done something to be very proud of ; congratulations to the whole school. Christmas can be a sad time for some, so we sent Christmas cards with small gifts enclosed to about 200 girls at the Ramabai Mukti Mission. As in the past we staged our Annual Toy Collection for Little Trinity Church which provides Christmas gifts for the poor children in Toronto. Ahead of us lies the Lent Collection. Our voluntary donations are sent to missionaries in Africa, Malaya, Thailand, Japan and Formosa who need our help. I am confident that the former enthusiasm that has brought such an overwhelming response will not falter here. The Society wishes to express its gratitude to all the members of the staff who helped and advised it, and to all the Branksomites who put forth their unselfish co-operation. President: Judy Miller. Vice-President: Shelley Varley. Secretary- Treasurer: Sheila Forbes. INTER-SCHOOL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP REPORT The Inter-School Christian Fellowship group continues to meet Monday afternoons in the McLeod Room of Buccleuch. It was a privilege to have Miss Suzanne Holman, an I.S.C.F. staff mem- ber, speak to our meeting and Mr. Bill Fulton speak to our senior assembly. Miss Heather Alio way, a former student at Branksome, reported on the Inter- Varsity Urbana Missionary Conference held at the University of Illinois in December, 1964. A contest for the collection of used postage stamps to help rehabilitate and educate Lepers resulted in our collecting approximately five pounds of stamps. These were handed to the Mission of Lepers by Miss Cuth- bertson who came to Branksome to receive them. The 1964- ' 65 executive includes Gracanne Marrin and Roslyn McCor- mack, as co-presidents, Kathleen Pattinson, Secretary Treasurer, and the club is sponsored by Miss E. Forsyth and Mrs. Margaret Flett. GRACANNE MARRIN
