E ATO N ' S THE STORE FOR YOUNG CANADA Page 4 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN YEAR BOOK, 1966 Pages The Principal ' s Letter DEAR GIRLS: We hear a great deal about academic standards nowadays and most of you have been trying to reach the highest standard of excellence that it is possible for you to achieve. I am writing at a period when I have been spending a great deal of time filling out forms and writing letters of recommendation for students applying for summer {obs, to be trained as Camp Counsellors, or to enter Colleges or Universities. Employers or Directors of Ad- missions, want a report on the academic standing of prospective entrants and the Universities are concerned with their Mndustry and application as well as their intellectual interest. However, there are other standards, and the earlier a student develops a set of values and learns to live up to them the better. Some of the things I am asked about you are really covered by the term sense of honour , for the person who has not a high regard for truth in word and deed, is detrimental to any group. The acceptance of personal responsibility for one ' s actions, de- pendability, concern for others, co-operation, courtesy, emotional stability, social skills, and the participation in extra-curricular activities are all stressed by questionnaires. I often spend a long time in consultation with members of the staff before 1 feel that I have dealt fairly with both the enquirer and student and it is always satisfying when I can rate a girl ' Very highly in all the things that really matter. Often I have been able to say, ' delighted to recommend , and once I added to the application of a Head Girl, ' Tou will be lucky if you get this one . I may say she won provisional acceptance by return mail. Everyone may not be able to reach as high an academic standard as she wishes, but everyone can develop the finest aspects of her character so that she can keep her own self-respect and win the respect of others. John Oxenham, who wrote our School song, has also written: To every man there openeth A way, and ways, and a way. And fhe high soul climbs the high way. And fhe low soul gropes the low; And in between, on the misty flats. The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A high way and a low. And every man decideth The way his soul shall go. To our graduates, and those who hope to be graduates some day, I say, Set your standards high, and Keep Well the Road , Page 6 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN APPOINTMENTS 1965-1966 HEAD GIRL — SALLY ADAMS SPORTS CAPTAIN — BEVERLEY BAYLAY PREFECTS Beverley Baylay Anne Gregor Anne Housser Marilyn McLellan Gail McKinnon Victoria Pearse Jane Rapp Daphne Ross Mary Ruse Margaret Anne West Jean Willet CLAN CHIEFTAINS Campbell — Sandra Shaw Douglas — Deborah Parker MacAlpine — Susan Storey MacGregor — Elspeth Mcintosh McLean — Diane Price McLeod — Ann McKinnon Ross — Beverley Bowen Scott — Sandra Mills BETA KAPPA SOCIETY President — Victoria Pearse Vice-President — France Darte Secretary-Treasurer — Gail McKinnon Committee: Anne Donohue, Christine Earl, Mary Ellen Empringham, Patricia Lees, Virginia Luke, Patricia Pennock, Lynne Wadge, Carolyn Whitney, Anne Langley, Susan Pearce, Alexandra Skelton.

EDITORIAL Without spirit a school cannot survive. Apathy more than any other single factor destroys all that is good and thriving in a school. Games are lost, traditions broken, rules disobeyed — a school let down. A school having spirit is one with ' ' courage, self-assertion, vivacity, energy and dash. More players are given that extra push that leads to victory by a school cheer- ing madly than by the most expert coaching in the world. Spirit is that intangible something that turns defeat into victory. Spirit is loving, working for, and backing a school with all your might. Spirit is the quality that makes you continue when everything is against you. Spirit may be summed up in the old adage It is not whether you win or lose by how you play the game. This school, like all others, thrives on its spirit. You, its pupils, are the ones who can decide whether this school will be proud and happy or broken and dismayed. You must infuse it with a spirit that lifts it to the heights of victory or at least helps it to smile in defeat. No one can make you have spirit, but I am convinced that you like the many that preceded you, will have the confidence in yourselves and the pride in your school — the spirit — to carry it up and on. MARGARET ANNE WEST Pages THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES From behind the lectern, Sally, our Head Girl leads 130 girls and some staff, in the Service held in the Common Room for them, each Sunday evening. Every available space is carefully utilized so that chairs may be provided for girls and guests. Likely because we are so closely packed together, the singing of the hymns provides a sound worth hearing to anyone inside Main Building or to those who perchance, are passing on Elm Avenue. It is only unfortunate that more of our interested public cannot be invited to the Service. The girls read from the Bible, or contribute in musical form, or say ' ' thank you to our guests of the evening, warmly expressing the gratitude of the audience for the contribution which has been made. The Professional field has permitted us to hear Medical Doctors and Nurses, Musicians and Ministers, Secretaries and Social workers, Prin- cipals and Professors, Teachers and Authors, as well as Missionaries from many parts of the world. In Services which assume a slightly less formal form, we enjoy a Fireside or Film (and among the latter, a favourite is the Moody Scientific Series) . At the Firesides, a great deal more singing is done, with Miss Brown, our pianist, faithfully at her post of duty. The added touches which enhance are frequently the bowls of fragrant flowers from the office of the Bursar while Miss MacNeill graciously entertains our Guest speakers and a number of the Senior girls at a Coffee Hour. MRS. B. G. PARTRIDGE Page 10 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN A MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNAE The Alumnae Association would like to take this opportunity to con- gratulate the Graduating Class, and to welcome you to the group we fondly call ' ' Branksome Old Girls! We hope you will wish to become members of the Alumnae Association and thereby continue your connection with Branksome. The objective of the Branksome Alumnae Association, as set down in our constitution, is as follows : 1. To further the interests of Branksome Hall School. 2. To function as an active social organization for Branksome Hall School graduates. 3. To provide members with an annual, varying social programme and some form of printed matter relating to the Association and to the School. 4. To sponsor money-raising projects for the benefit of the Association, for the School, for charity or for assistance in time of war or disaster. Last year, in a joint effort with the mothers of present girls, the Alumnae sponsored the fifth biennial bazaar, and as a result $5,000 was presented to the School to make possible additional Bursaries and other Educational Projects. In the recent past the Alumnae have provided such practical gifts as the drapes in the gymnasium, a rug for the common room and the furnishing of the boarders ' sittingroom in MacNeill House. Twice a year ' The Alumnae News Letter is published by the Executive Committee, to keep you up-to-date on matters of mutual interest, and to inform you of our up-coming activities — The Annual Dinner, the Bazaar, a Dance or other events. We would be happy to include news of YOUR Activities, Achievements, or Acclamations. Just one word of warning con- cerning ' The News Letter — please be sure to let us know when you move, OR, change your name. We cannot keep in touch with you unless we have an up-to-date address. Such information should be directed to the Alumnae Registrar, in care of the School. Our sincere good wishes go with you, as you begin the next phase of your lives, continuing, in true Branksome tradition. Up and On! YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 11 HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE SALLY ADAMS, HEAD GIRL To the girls, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks for their support and enthusiasm, to the staff my fond and loving memories of a school which has taught me the important qualities one must possess: love, honour, truth, and justice. As we reflect on the past year at Branksome it can be remembered as a truly wonderful year. The interschool and the clan and class activities, where victories were shared with team-mates in sports, bring a bright spark to our memories. Although there were times when we were not so successful, nevertheless the flame still burned and the spirit kindled. Branksomites, as long as we can keep that flame of friendship and loyalty burning, whether in work or in play, we are all doing our part to ' ' Keep well the road. Many of us are leaving the familiar walls within which we have grown up. With us we take the lessons learned from the invaluable experiences of years spent at Branksome. These experiences, although different for every person, have taught us to become well-rounded individuals stepping out to play our part in our rapidly changing society. How proud we will be to say in future years. ' 1 was a Branksomite. To the girls remaining, I know you will work together, and in that pillar of support, ' ' Keep the flame burning brightly ever. The best to you all, SALLY Page 12 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE INSTALLATION OF PREFECTS Again, the setting was Rosedale United Church for an event of the greatest importance to the school, the installation of prefects and clan chieftains. The service began with a procession passing through the main body of the church toward the chancel. Leading the procession were the clan chieftains with their clan banners ; the old prefects carrying the school flags, the sub- prefectG, the prefects and Anally our Head Girl, Sally Adams, followed by Miss MacNeill, the staff and our guest speaker Reverend George Kilpatrick, D.D., a United Church Minister, formerly of the Theological School in Montreal. The clan chieftains were introduced one by one as our sports leaders of the year. Then, the new sub-prefects and prefects were introduced to Margaret Donald Elgie, President of the Alumnae, and Margaret Essery Andrachuck, Vice-President of the Alumnae. As each girl came forward and received her pin, Mies MacNeill told of the contribution she had made to the school. PREFECTS Back Row: M. A. West, A. Housser, M. Ruse, M. McLelland, A. Gregor.

Ontario Scholarships were awarded to the girls of last year ' s Grade 13 who had attained an average of eighty percent or above. Among them were last year ' s Head Girl, Cheryl Hamilton, as well as Nancy Harris, Martha Kilgour, Kristina Szandtner and Janet Thompson. Cheryl also won a special History prize, which was donated by the Honourable William Davis, Minister of Education in the province of Ontario. Dr. Kilpatrick spoke to us on the standards we should set at school and throughout life. Cheryl and the prefects of last year handed the School flags over to Sally and the new prefects, who accepted the responsibility of upholding the tradi- tions and honour of Branksome. The school song was sung and the school prayer repeated. The service was thus ended, and our new leaders proceeded forth to carry out their promises and duties to the best of their ability.

These girls with Mrs. Coutts and Mrs. Collins were headed for the Canadian home of Shakespeare ' s art— Stratford. Before the show there was enough time to eat lunch at the picnic tables under the trees, or stroll down the grassy slopes to the river. Then everyone flocked to the modern, wing-roofed theatre to see the historical play Henry IV, Part I. For the next three hours every person in the audience was held in the magical world produced by the expert actors. Laughter resounded from the roof with the antics of Falstaff, and hearts mourned at the death of valiant Hotspur. The play ended and the same girls were taken by train back to Toronto. Yet they were not quite the same girls. Their lives were enriched by a new experience. They had seen the theatre in the true form of Shakespearian drama.

Each class was represented by two girls who faithfully assumed their responsibilities and did their utmost to make the new filing system, which we began this year with the assistance of Miss Beeston, a promising accomplishment. Mrs. Vagg and Mrs. Hewitt have most efficiently replaced the role of Mrs. Johnson, who made a valuable contribution towards the direction of our library. We were very sorry to see her leave. To the members of our committee Miss Beeston, Andrea and I should like to thank you for your loyal service and help in making the library run so smoothly this year, and lastly, to wish everyone of you a tremendously exciting summer holiday. MARY RUSE BOOKS Books can be very exciting, Some about wars and fighting ; Some are somewhat serious, Others are very mysterious. My favorite books are biographies. Scientists like books on philosophies; Men read books on building stools, But worst of all, there are books for school. DIANA READ. Grade 8A YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 31 DEBATING SOCIETY Inter-class debates of earlier years have given way to the formation of a Debating Society this year, with Meredith Clark as chairman, Susan Collyer as Secretary and Mrs. Collins as our staff advisor. Although the Society is young, there seems to be an active interest, principally from Grade 12. But it is hoped that more enthusiastic participa- tion will come from the Senior School. Many interesting topics — ' The Best Things in Life are Free and ' ' Canadian Education is Superior to Russian Education — have been examined with a great deal of success and a great deal of fun. T.C.S. has formally challenged Branksome for a debate in early February. This is a return match, for the boys visited the girls last year and debated The Woman ' s Place is in the Home. Since time immemorial, civilized people have settled their problems by debate. It is an expression of the freedom of speech, guaranteed to us by our constitution. The ability to speak persuasively and effectively is highly valued in our democratic society. Thus, school debating encourages and develops the skills of logical reasoning, rhetoric and argumentation. De- bating also familiarizes us with current views on political, economical and social issues. Like all worthwhile things, the learning and doing require team work and individual research — which always makes for fun and companionship. Branksome contributes a great deal towards the Model Assembly in the United Nations and enjoys a modest fame in competitive sports. We are proud of our scholarship and future potential. Could we not achieve similar success with Debating? MEREDITH CLARK 12A Page 32 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN CHOIR EXECUTIVE Margaret Palmer, Margaret Ann Graham, Margery Tow, Martha McDonnic. SENIOR CHOIR (1965-1966) Autumn afternoons this year saw five dozen green kilted Branksomites hurrying to the Choir room in happy confusion. They were busy preparing for our 40th Annual Carol Service to be held at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. On the day of the service, six hundred girls soon filled the church with the true spirit of Christmas. The Choir sang a selection of beautiful carols such as, ' ' Welcome Yule, and Infant Holy. Marg Ann West, Jane Rapp, Margaret Ann Graham, sang the obligatto of ' The Three Kings expressing the theme of the service, Go We to the Stable. We were honoured this year by an invitation to sing at the Christmas Party of the Canadian National Institute for the BUnd. Twenty-four girls representing the Senior Choir sang a number of Christmas chorales and afterward served refreshments to the members of the Institute. The Choir is now preparing for the Spring Concert in April at which Erica Goodman, harpist, in her graduating year at Branksome, will be our guest soloist. Our special thanks go to Mrs. Coutts and our fine accompanist Mrs, YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 33 Simmons, without whose selfless efforts the Choir could not have been so successful. I have enjoyed working with the executive and the Choir and I hope the President will have as much pleasure next year as I have had this year. Let me present the executives, each of whom deserves a great deal of credit for a job well done. President — Margaret Ann Graham. Vice-President — Martha McDonis. Secretary — Margaret Palmer.

BRANKSOME HALL CAROL SERVICE ' ' Christians awake, salute the happy morn ; Whereon the Saviour of the world was born. The congregation was awakened to the Christmas Spirit as rich sounds from the magnificent organ sounded through the lofty arches of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. Despite rain, snow and ice, many parents and friends of the school filled the Church and joined in the heralding of The happy Morn, as the girls marched down the centre aisle and filled the chancel. As the service progressed the congregation became aware of the beauti- ful and ancient banners each hanging from its own pole, which seemed to bring a nearness of the deeds and accomplishments of previous generations to those present. This was in stark contrast to the girls of Branksome Hall who were proclaiming the youth and vigour of the present generation with beautiful choral singing. One of the highlights of the service was, as in other years, the symbolic representation of ' ' Mary, Joseph and the Babe, as the beautifully cos- tumed girls portrayed the Nativity Scene in the arched curving balcony high above the chancel choir. A fitting climax to this Christmas Story, related in song, was thus en- acted as the hghts dimmed and the hidden spotlights played on the motion- less figures for all to see. The beautiful singing of the choirs is ample evidence of the expert guid- ance and teaching of Mrs. Coutts to whom we are all grateful and without whom our Carol Service could not be the occasion we all cherish. MARY JANE SAWYER 12B Page 34 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN BETA KAPPA Branksome had a spirit, Branksome had a thing, And far from halls of Branksome you could hear them swing. The treasure maps the cartons and Sours for the beat, Made a Fourth and Fifth at Branksome, That swept us oif our feet. From smugglers and Hideaway to tin man and a road, We ' re Off To See the Wizard with something to behold. For midnight decorating and spirit of the rest, And our praise of Mrs. Waters for dining of the best. VICTORIA PEARSE President: Victoria Pearse Vice-President: France Darte — Secretary: Gail McKinnon OPHELEO This has been a very satisfactory year for the Opheleo, and I think we have all accomplished a great deal. We have enjoyed working together and have felt a deep sense of satisfaction knowing that we have played a small but important part in helping those people less fortunate than we. Our first and main drive of the year was for Ramabai, a mission in India helping young girls. Some of the money we collected was also sent to two hospitals in Bethlehem and Nazareth, the United Appeal and the Grenfe ll Mission. A week in October was devoted to fund-raising projects including shoe-shines, bake sales and candy sales. Miss MacNeill, with her good sportsmanship, spent one lunch hour mopping off the stage which had been splashed with water as the girls threw handfuls of pennies into a half -filled bucket of water; the proceeds from this helped to swell our funds greatly. We were all very pleased with our grand total of seven hundred and sixty dollars ($760.00). Our special congratulations to the stu- dents of 12A, who were the winners of the class competition, and also llA, the runners up. Before Christmas the Opheleo Society collected toys to send to Trinity East Anglican Church. These toys were repaired by workers and sold at a very small price to the poor people of Toronto. Near the end of January, we collected Christmas cards to send to mis- sionaries in India. As the slogan goes to press we are preparing for our next big endeavour, the Lenten Collection. May I, on behalf of the Opheleo Committee, thank Miss MacNeill, Miss Forsyth, Miss Scotland, Mrs. Scott and Miss Snowdon for their guidance and help. I would also like to thank all the students of the school for their enthusiastic support, and especially the Committee which has been so faithfully behind me all year. JANE RAPP YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 35 Page 36 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN U.N. CLUB This year the Branksome Hall branch of the United Nations Association has proved to be very profitable for both the club members and the reci- pients of our endeavours. In November U.N.I.C.E.F. Christmas cards were enthusiastically sold and a substantial sum of $352 was raised by the members. The money will be used for many worthwhile causes, one of which could be to provide enough penicilhn to cure 5640 children of yaws. The U.N. Club is also concerned with the delegation ' s projects and some of the club members will attend the Model Assembly in January. We have plans for a Mysore project in the near future with the proceeds helping to pay for the technical school in Mysore, India, which Canada has promised to build. We are anxiously looking forward to our luncheon in April which is held yearly to raise money for the Freedom From Hunger campaign, and U.N. tag day. We also hope to have a speaker come to the school at some time. The members of the club are gradually realizing how fortunate we as Canadians are, and how urgently understanding is needed to promote peace which is the primary cause of the United Nations Association. My thanks go to each girl for her support, particularly Anne, Amy, and Denise, and may I wish the best of luck and success to next year ' s club. President : Joanne MacKay. Vice-President : Anne Langley. Secretary-Treasurer: Ann-Marie Bonkalo. U.N. Corner: Denise Jacques. DRAMA CLUB To be or not to be was a vital question facing the Drama Club at the beginning of this year. ' To Be unanimously chorused a group of inexperi- enced but enthusiastic drama clubbers. Myself as president, Kathy Lyons as vice-president, and Meredith Clark our bankrupt secretary-treasurer launched off another season. Our Christmas effort ' ' the Baby Sitter was a farce of no dramatic merit and I know we had more fun preparing it than the audience had seeing the finished product. Right now we are toying with the idea of producing a corrupted version of Othello. There might be a costume drive but the end of the year will reveal how far these ideas get. Meanwhile, Good Luck to those who take up the torch next year. ELSPETH YEAR BOOK, 1966 WOULD YOU BELIEVE Page 37 Page 38 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN UNITED NATIONS September and January are perhaps the most important months of the Model United Nations. In September it begins and in January it ends. For this Assembly fifteen girls were chosen from Branksome to represent Czechoslovakia. They were Elizabeth Flavelle, Elizabeth Dechero, Karen Serafin, Marilyn Jarvis, Barbara Scandrett, Annemarie Bonkalo, Susan Duncanson, Susan Dewar, Janet Harris, Eleanor Lougheed, Pam Reid, Rebecca Robertson, Denise Jacques, Joanne MacKay and Debby Parker. Every second Sunday the delegation has gone to Victoria College to meet with other schools from Metro. Toronto. Here we were divided into seven committees to discuss world problems and resolutions which the students had submitted. However this was not the only way in which the United Nation ' s Mem- bers have been active. Debby Parker and I attended a conference at Geneva Park with 120 other students to discuss world race relations. At Thanksgiving a group of sixty students went to New York to see the real United Nations in action. Three Branksome girls went on this trip. In December the F.R.O.S. tea was held at Victoria College. Here the delegates entertained foreign students from across Canada and we were given an opportunity to meet other students from the country which they represented. Some Branksome girls helped at this tea by serving on the Food committee. Also in December the delegation sold Mysore pens in the school and raised $106 for this Canadian project. The United Nation ' s Model Assembly, however, could never take place without the behind the scenes organization the I.C.C.U.N. This consists of two representatives from each school who attend two Thursday night meetings each month. Debby Parker and I went to these meetings. In January came the U.N. Model Assembly for which everyone had been working. This year ' s Model Assembly was a great success. We did not solve the Vietnamese War or the Rhodesian question but everyone involved gained a richer concept of what the United Nations really is. SHELAGH McINTYRE 7th a non-conformist Doin ' tlie Freddy! YEAR BOOK, 1966 BRANKSOMITES— UP and ON Page 40 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN MacNEILL HOUSE MacNeill House is a house of all talents! Our league of thirty- two students and four staff members boasts from within its ranks Branksome ' s Head Girl, Sally Adams; Slogan editor Margaret Anne West; Art editor Daphne Ross; Sherb. Rep. Patricia Lees, Opheleo vice president, Frances MacFarlane ; 13P class president, Kathy Moore ; 13E Sports captain, Ronda Green, and a genius poetess Brenda Burgess; also 12 Commercial ' s Vice- President, Heather Anne Stuart and Secretary-Treasurer Diana Barron, And not least in importance the most motherly house-mother imaginable, comparable only to the feminine realization of Mr. Chips (only she ' s not that old) ! ! From September to the present we have come through household battles, interminable classes and exams, occasional reprimands from our superiors, and a few glorious week-ends at home! Birthdays, crazy-foam fights, coffee-parties, and Friday and Saturday night conferences in Room ? have highlighted our residence life. When we leave MacNeill House and Brank- some Hall in June we will doubtless remember with affection the countless friends made in our residence days and expound enthusiastically statement that ' ' much fun was had by all ! MAIN HOUSE Main House got a roaring start into ' 65 at the swim meet. No, MacNeill took the victory, but we had the enthusiasm. Although our tearing of beds, running up and down of halls, slamming of doors and sleeping in other girls ' rooms was a little daunted at the return of Mrs. Cameron, we still succeeded in gaining our marks daily. Our first Friday was really a big hit when the Old and New Girls fought an energetic basketball game. We emerged the victors but after all, the old girls aren ' t what they used to be! Our Christmas Party was a huge success with Heather Simpson as Santa and her colourful helper, Martha Burns. We were honoured with the presence of Miss MacNeill and other members of staff at the party, and entertained by many courageous girls with amateur talent. The night of the formal, all of the Main House girls were evacuated from the building, due to the fact that we weren ' t invited to the dance. But still we enjoyed the ' ' King and I. Didn ' t we girls T Although in swimming MacNeill won, we got two down on them in skiing. Still, we mustn ' t forget volleyball, but after all, it is so hard and impractical to volley notes. After all of our marks and misbehaviour, this year has been a huge success, due ' specially to the old and the new girls getting together to make one united house . . . MAIN HOUSE. YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 41 SHERBORNE HOUSE So far I think that we have been getting along fine ( ! ) this year ( that is excepting for a few minor squabbles over unexpected room-mates, bathtubs, and rollers). Since Christmas our halls have been decked with red kilts one at a time for a week. As part of our ' ' welcome campaign the prefects have good naturedly endured everything from apple-pied beds to . . . well how about trying frozen pj ' s on for size. Who can forget our Christmas party with oodles of food from Mrs. Anderson and many laughs at Mary Lynn, our grotesque Santa or Mrs. Hipwell vs. our untidy rooms, bells, marks and gatings, pizzas on Wednes- days, bells, radios on full blast, bells, study, disappearing cushions, bells, missing mugs, BELLS, boy friends, BELLS, precious memories, and MORE BELLS. SHERBORNE REPRESENTATIVE On leaving England I became acutely aware of my loneliness and the fact that I was going to spend a year at Branksome Hall. The thought of ever being the Sherborne representative had seemed an impossibility to me. The idea of poor me disappearing into a cluster of ' ' crazy Canadian kids seemed like torture, something they only did to — well — the Sher- borne rep. However, my expectations and not my fears were fully justified when I arrived here. I was given plenty of experience as regards apple pie beds, pyjama parties, snow ball fights and early morning walks. All of which gives adequate scope to write home about, to answer questions about the weather and — oh ! yes of course, the accent. This exchange provides an experience which I have thoroughly enjoyed and would not want to miss on any account. I have travelled in all direc- tions and seen some of the famous land marks. But the best part of it all is the opportunity to meet the Canadians who have a reputation for their kindness, and at Branksome they really do live up to this reputation. In order to attempt to repay some of the kind- ness, I only hope that you will come and visit me when you are in England, for I know you would all like a ride in one of those cute little English cars. Farewell for now and best of luck to you all. TRICIA Page 42 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN GRADE 12A Back Row: M. Clark, M. Findlay, H. Apple, J. Pendrith. S. McClelland, S. Hill, M. McDonic. Middle Row: A.

I ' ll never make it through the day! — and is greeted by quiet sympathy from the other teachers. Of course I jest, llB ' s reputation is known far and wide (unfortunately) for their clock watching abihty, subtle communications with one another, and cheerful antcipation of each class (drawing them closer to lunch hour). Which teacher, upon entering our little class, popularly known as the ' boiler room , has not been overpowered by the sight of keen, shining faces before her? (Or is it the rather pungent aroma of sardines, pickles, peanut butter and salmon sandwiches, salami on rye, wafting through the air that stag- gers her?)

JENNIFER LAWSON, Grade 5 INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION YEAR ESSAY CONTEST I like to read books about children who live in other countries because their climate, the type of clothing they wear, their languages and re- ligions, the strange foods they eat and the many different houses they live in ; all these are so fascin- ating that I enjoy reading about them. I have read books about life in Switzerland, life in Norway, life in Holland, also about China, Turkey and about the Bedouin tribesmen. The reason I read about coun- tries and other children is because I would hke to know more about them and so understand them better.

MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE You are going to enjoy tonight ' s adventure, said Violet Spellcaster perching herself on my bedpost. ' ' 1 have planned a special treat. It was always useless to ask my elfin friend what her plans for the night were so I merely hopped out of bed and inquired, ' ' Will I need a coat or a sweater? Yes, you ought to bring along your sweater, she said. All right now. Shut your eyes and twirl three times. Her voice faded in my ear and I now heard fiddle and tambourine music ! I had no idea where I was. Violet told me to turn around. There she was as beautiful as a pic- ture, dressed in reds, blues, greens, purples, blacks, and whites. So was I! Now I saw young and old people in gay clothing dancing wild dances around a huge bonfire. I realized where we were. A gypsy camp! What songs, dancing, colours, and music we saw and heard! Violet took my hand and YEAR BOOK 1966 Page 55 soon we were in the midst of the dancers. I don ' t know how we did it but we could dance as well as the gypsies could. Then a gypsy boy asked me to dance with him. I accepted and we whizzed around the splendid fire. It was like dancing on air. By now the cock was crowing so Violet and I had to say good-bye. Just as we were walking way the boy, whose name I never learned ran up and gave me a beautiful multicoloured scarf. I tied it around my neck and disappeared before his eyes. Back in my room I was sad to say good-bye to Violet Spellcaster. I told her I had loved the night ' s adventure. She said good-bye and that she would see me next Saturday at midnight sharp and with that she was gone. When Mom came to wake me in the morning, she saw the scarf right away. ' ' Where did you get that? she said. ' In my dream, I replied, In my dream.

And next I ' ll go to the mountain- side, Giving the stones and mud a ride, And then away I will glide. Away I ' ll run, right through the trees. Listening to the humming bees. Washing away the weeds by threes. And then I ' ll go, over the hill. Over and over by the mill. Giving the children all a thrill. But when I come to the ocean. Watching closely its very motion, In I ' ll plunge, with the ocean ' s true devotion.

SECOND TEAM With Captain Diane Price on the ball the second team bounced its way to first place (a tie with B.S.S.) in the Round Robin before the eyes of the thousands of cheer- ing Branksome fans. As the regular season unfolded the Mighty Eight narrowly defeated B.S.S. 9 7 and St. Clements 23 9. However, after a game of sustained suspense they fell to the precision teamwork of the Havergal gals 21 22. The team wishes to thank Miss Cameron for her coaching, Diane for her leadership and Eve Martin, our top scorer, for her 35 points. THIRD TEAM The third team dropped its first game to B.S.S. but nevertheless had a very successful season. Un- der the guidance of Captain Mary Jane Sawyer they went down to defeat St. Clements 14 3 and St. Mildred ' s 25 16. The season finish- ed with a very close game at Haver- gal from which the third team emerged victorious 13 9. Special thanks to Miss Cameron and Mary Jane. YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 61 FOURTH TEAM Under the much appreciated coaching of Miss Cameron, the fourth basketball team had a most exciting and successful season. Fol- lowing a hard blow from B.S.S. our first opponents, McCabe, Brand- ham, Jarvis, McQuaig and Hawke soon found the trick of scoring while Crawford, Scandrett, Faulk- ner and Van Otter made a good de- fense for the opposing team. Many thanks to all our fans for their strong support! PATTY McCABE VOLLEYBALL The volleyball season was a smashing success this year with the Senior and Intermediate girls working hard. The Senior girls won both their games against Havergal and B.S.S. by a landslde. T he In- termediate girls proved themselves equal to the Seniors by winning both their games. Both teams are looking forward to their next games and hope to win them too. Thanks to Miss Cameron and our sports captain for their help in bringing the teams to victory. TENNIS Last year there were many tennis enthusiasts and the courts were always full. Debbie Gibson was victorious over Pam Reid to win the Intermediate singles, and Bev Bay lay defeated Sally Hill to win the Senior singles. However, Debbie and Bev were decisively beaten by Gail McKinnon and Ruth Ann Whipp, who won the Doubles, Page 62 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 63 Page 64 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN SWIM TEAM The first big splash of this year ' s swim team came on Feb. 9 at Hav- ergal. The competitors, consisting of Branksome, B.S.S., Havergal, St. Clements, and a newcomer from Hamilton, Strathallan, provided a very entertaining afternoon of ex- citement and great sportsmanship. B.S.S. and Branksome were neck and neck in the scoring race right down to the last event. When the final results were announced, Branksome had placed a very close second to B.B.S., losing by only one point. The Juniors and Tadpoles dis- played the fact on Feb. 16 that they needed a great deal of hard prac- ticing to pull out of third place behind Havergal and B.S.S. who again came first. March 3, dated the final and most important meet of the year. This meet is held annually at B.S.S. and the winner receives the big shiny swim team trophy. This undoubt- edly proved to be the noisiest and closest meet of the year. As the competition drew to an end no one knew for sure who had won. Then in the deathly silence of the pool room it was announced that B.S.S. had won the cup and for the third consecutive year Branksome placed second, losing by one point.

Forget not the skills we have culti- vated in basketball, volleyball, and baseball, but most of all the sportsmanship that we have enjoyed. Forget not all the spirit that has been instilled throughout the clan and forget not to carry it on over the years. Forget not that I appreciate all the support you have given me dur- ing the year and I am sure you will give that same support to Susan Gracie who will lead you next year. Forget not that if we do not always SCOTT CLAN The ' ' Gathering of the Clans enabled those girls who were new to the clan to become acquainted with the Scott old girls. We had a rather chilly afternoon on the lower field where many of you participated in backward races. Our attendance was stupendous and everyone had a good time, be they participant or spectator. Soon after, a clan swim marathon was held. Many of you whirled down to the pool to boast your four lengths of crawl or dog paddle. We placed third in this ' ' Splash-up affair which is a good improvement. The Clan A, B, and C teams were chosen after a few tryouts at noon and after school. Lunches were hastily eaten and the eager faces appeared on the courts to play versus the other clans. We unfortunately had little success, but the enthusiasm was terrific. Early November our poster went up which displayed the hidden talents of many Scott members. Some of you may still be looking ! Our theme was the November Calendar. Each day was represented by some cartoon depict- ing a certain event for each day. Gradually excitement mounted! From our three excellent nominees of Sue Dewar, Nancy Falconer and Elizabeth Keith, the femme fatale was Nancy Falconer. Nancy is full of enthusiasm and will be an excellent chief- tain next year. So Scotts keep up your spirit and you are bound to have a successful year. SANDY CAMPBELL CLAN end up on top, we must be proud that we did our best. This is all important. Forget me not ! I will always re- member you. SANDI Page 68 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN McLEOD — HOLD FAST On Friday September 17, 1965 a troop of enthusiastic McLeods raced down to the lower field to participate in the first clan event of the year — the gathering of the Clans. Our cheers and cries prevailed, to great avail, and we proudly placed second in this exciting event ! Unfortunately, our skill was noticeably less successful in the Swim Marathon which took place later in the month. Early in November clan basketball began and many McLeods gave up precious minutes of their lunch hour to represent us in these games.

That all important day of the election for clan sub-chieftain finally drew near and from three enthusiastic and capable nominees; Betsy Anderson Maryska Janta and Pat Frost, Pat was elected. We wish Pat all the best next year and know that the clan will prosper under her enthusiastic leadership. We are now starting a fresh term, having completed the clan poster for January, and are gathering together all our talents to be displayed in broom-ball, volleyball and badminton. Being a clan chieftain has been a thrilling challenge for me and I have been proud to act as chieftain of such an enthusiastic clan. Have a great summer McLeods and keep up that wonderful clan spirit ! ! ANN.

Many thanks, SUE THE ROSS CLAN The gathering of the clans was the first big event That brought all the eight clans together, And the Rossites played hard with their spirit unbent Even though we had troublesome weather. The ribbons weren ' t numerous but we had loads of fun Both cheering and taking our part. And when voices were hoarse and events were all done I knew we had made a great start. And that we ' d continue — just that we did, As basketball headed our way. At games were support and enthusiasm amid Fifty Rossites most eager to play. Page 70 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Well, we may not have quite won a victory, But there ' s still many sports to be played. And, on time was our poster up skillfully. Which, in itself is a victory made. I have certainly enjoyed this year and I know With Ginny Brown as our head, enthusiastic. That next year we ' ll continue our ' ' get up and go And remember Spem Successus Alit. MaxjGREGOR CLAN Our Race Is Royal! Well MacGregors, I ' ve been asked to write a report about you. So I ' ve chewed my pen to shreds, tried a lot of catchy rhymes and ended up with this. However, nothing I could say is enough to thank you for being so enthusiastic this year. Being your chieftain has been great ! Our first real competition was the Clan Gathering. We ran, and carried potatoes (and one small MacGregor), and scrambled our way into third place (ice cream bars sure taste good). A lot of us were entered in Sports Day so it ' s a pity it was rained out. At the Marathon Swim Meet we hit a happy medium and came fourth but a little later in Marching Week we topped the list. (I confess that the only point we had deducted was my fault!) The basketball teams tried really hard but — oh well it was fun. Our last-minute C team tried extra hard — so take a bow c-teamers! The poster goes up next week, volleyball is coming soon (too soon). This term marks the entrance of a new sport to Branksome, BROOMBALL. It is not going to be a clan competition but rather just for fun this year. But if you like it enough it ' ll stay for keeps. Coming up in the future are the results of the poetry and art contest (Anne Deacon got a first for one of her drawings!) , bowling and a hundred other things that I know you will give your full support to. At Xmas time the clan standings were announced and to my great delight we were SECOND. Keep it up ! Only MacAlpine is ahead of us. Now Congrats to our three nominees Sally, Esther and Debbie. Good luck next year Sally; it ' s a great clan. P.S. Thanks speshly to Henri . Love, ELSPETH YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 71 Page 72 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN Once more the corridors of Brank- some Hall Echoed with feet both big and small, As students mourned for the holi- day parted. The teachers declared work was to be started. Athletics began on the very first day As basket and tennis balls got in the way. As the leaves turned golden and red in the sun The students realised September had gone. The leaves turn brown, the air is clear — October thus begins, And the Old Girls return to play and cheer In a basketball game — what a whim! The Stratford trip was just excel- lent And most enjoyed by all. Then just before the long week-end The prefects were installed. As the month advanced, Sports ' Day sped by With victories well won. Then came the week of Ramabai, The week to give — well done. The Round Robin Games of Bas- ketball Played early one Saturday morn, Showed plenty of spirit and fun for all. Even though eyes looked droopy and worn. Dinners and meetings and dances prevailed. And suddenly October had flown, But Branksome was merely just lifting the veil To one of the best years it ' s known. YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 73 In the month of January We were as busy as could be. We got lots of good fresh air-y As we hit the slopes to ski. There was another night, When the parents with chagrin, Learned what their daughters did not know And hid a sheepish grin. And then we had a visitor The Wizard of Oz by name. The gym was beautifully decorated ; Nothing was the same. And so the thirty-one days flew by. And on to February With the Formal, Skiing, and Teacher ' s Night Past for this January. When the wind was too cold for normal beings, The Branksome girls were going skiing. All bundled up from head to toe They showed Alpine their feats in the snow. The bus driver asked ' No broken bones, please So two girls only twisted their knees. The long weekend followed on Valentine ' s day, From which all returned with faces gay. In April the voices are singing sweet As the choir of Branksome for the Festival meet. Full-bright was the stage and with pleasure we saw The Drama Club ' s actors perform ' Monkey ' s Paw . The month of May in gloom was veiled As the days of judgement o ' er the students prevailed. But, all cares were forgotten, and hearts grew light As all Branksome danced on Straw ' and Grad ' night. Later in May Branksome grew dearer As the day of departure for Grads drew nearer. Last but not least came the long awaited Prize Day When girls won honour for high marks and fair play. Page 74 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN BRANKSOME COLOURS The Branksome call beckons to all its girls Who stand in its glorious light, And, forever, as long as Branksome remains. We ' ll cheer for our red-green-black-white! Red stands for truth : the bond of our lives — What good is life in pretense ? Lies may conceal but never undo — Truth is our only defence. And when the truth seems the worst thing to tell Then the test really begins — Face up to your foes ; face up to your friends Truth might seem hard but it wins. Honesty ' s shown in our school colour green. Which runs in our uniform line. It ' s so simple to cheat; so hard to play fair, Yet once done it ' s easy next time. It ' s something that we forget day by day But remember it — we simply must ! Honesty conquers the world in disguise. And at the same time inspires trust. We must consider fair treatment next. Which developed from primitive life. From earliest tortures to our senseless wars. Allowing no cease from man ' s strife. Know that you ' d like the same treatment returned, And don ' t scheme behind a friend ' s back, Treat all the same no matter the rank — Justice is portrayed by black. White is for purity : the cleansing of life, To have a free mind is a treasure. It takes little soil to damage the trend ; Pureness goes far beyond measure. The path of the pure is always held wide. It welcomes all who are free — It ' s not hard to follow ! not hard to climb, And the rewards are as vast as the sea ! The Branksome call beckons to all of its girls, Who stand in its glorious hght. And forever, as long as Branksome remains We ' ll cheer for our red-green-black-white. LINDA McQUAIG 9A YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 75 ' TWAS THE NIGHT OF THE DANCE Twas the night of the dance When all through Sherborne House All boarders were stirring, Even the mouse. Their heads were all decked With rollers and pins, And their faces were covered With sweet, smelly things. When over at Main House There arose such a clatter, I sprang from the dryer To see what was the matter. When, what to my wondering Eyes should await, But a chartered grey bus And forty blind dates, With a wary young master So keen and so shrewd. In knew in a moment They came from St. Andrews. When we picked our blind dates We gave them a chance To see what it ' s like At a Branksome Hall dance. But they enjoyed it well Much to our surprise. It must be the atmosphere That Branksomites provide. SUSAN GRACIE Page 76 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN It isn ' t very far away To the land of thoughts and dreams, And it Isn ' t hard to find y our way For there are no tricks or schemes To sway you from the pleasant gates Allowing all thoughts through, Or hide you from the well-sought fates That make your dreams come true.

For people, problems, pleasures Is the basic theme we chose To increase, by good measure. Your enjoyment of repose. BEVERLEY BOWEN IVB YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 77 LIFE To walk in the woods In the spring When the water squelches beneath my boots And the birds burst into occasional song And then to find a stream In which to swim, To feel the water beside me, Under me, Holding me up ; To twist and turn in an effortless rhythm ; To plunge down further than light, And then to again feel the air in my lungs; This is life. And when the sun has set To finally lie in a warm bed With a fortress of blankets around me, And the smooth sheets over me, And then to gradually lose consciousness, In a land where reality and dreams meet and part. To experience a peace so kindred to death That only life itself knows the difference. This is to live. SUSAN COLLYER, 12A BLACK ' Black is my colour But my heart is pure. Where is my Dignity? I ' m no longer sure. Gone are the days When my soul roamed free ; Like the endless sky, An Eternity. Why am I here? From where did I come America is my station, Africa is my Home. Poverty or riches, Which are mi ne? Which door may I enter ? Which hill may I climb ? Night has gone, The day breaks free. Why can ' t this ever Happen to me? Black is my colour, But my heart is pure. Where is my dignity? I ' m no longer sure. SUSAN ROSS 12 Comm. THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION The purpose of education is to create a reliable, informed citizen. Education is the development of mind, and character, providing technical as well as academic knowledge. But knowledge is not enough. The mind must be discip- lined in order to use the knowledge which has been attained. Knowledge itself can lead to evil when used for the detriment of others. The well-edu- cated person, however, is able to distinguish between right and wrong ; that is, he is morally rehable. The value of education for the citizen is well stated by Lord Brougham ; Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave. ANNEMARIE BONKALO llA Page 78 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN PRIZE ESSAY THE THREE UTOPIAS Brave New World by Huxley, Erewhon by Butler and Utopia by More are books dealing with imaginery societies. Brave New World is satire on progress ; a glimpse into a possible future revealing some horrible mutations our civilization may undergo if the principle of mass-production is carried to absurd extremes. The chapter on machines in Erewhon suggests another possible result of extensive mechanization, but it is primarily a satire on established English institutions such as the Church and the traditional attitudes towards such things as disease, moral turpitude and education. Utopia is divided into two books, the first of which criticizes English society at the beginning of the 16th century and second being a report on a fictional island, with a theoretically perfect society. Although these three books deal with different aspects of civilization, their respective societies have several basic characteristics in common. The rulers of all three civilizations are convinced that theirs is the most nearly perfect type of society. Secondly, none of these societies is classless ; in each one a hierarchy controls the mass population. Because relatively few men control many people, conformity is a keynote which reveals an intrinsic and tragic defect common to them all — that is, the lack of freedom. Finally, all three civilizations value and honour beauty, especially physical beauty, and the purpose of each civilization is the pursuit of hap- piness, although each one has a different conception of what happiness is. The points of contrast in these books are far more numerous. Brave New World is a story. It is through the lives of the characters that the reader learns the nature of the society in which they lived. Erewhon has the vague semblence of a story which is used merely to link the discussions of the different aspects of the society into a more congruent whole. Utopia is in the form of a dialogue between the author and the traveller who visited Utopia and is an essay, or factual report on that society. Also, the individual has quite a different status in each book. In Brave New World the individual has no status at all and his sole purpose is to further the stability and maintainance of the Community. In fact, there are no individuals. Test-tube babies are produced so that as many as ninety-six identical twins may be obtained from one fertilized egg, and the Community has even succeeded in manufacturing identical minds to go with their bodies, by means of ingenious conditioning in infancy. H umanity is class- ified into five divisions, each with a definite type of vocation, according to its mental development. In Erewhon the individual has some status and has a certain amount of independence. He may choose his own occupation and do what he likes with his spare time. Unlike the inhabitant of the Brave New World or Utopia, there is no stigma attached to solitude. His thoughts and actions, however, must conform to those of society, in order YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 79 to make everyone feel more ' ' comfortable. Utopians have the most exalted position. They may think what they hke and work at what they wish, but communal living has several drawbacks which hamper, to some extent, individuality. Also, in Utopia, I felt a vaguely implied suggestion that the desire for solitude was not desirable, perhaps because it upset the stability of communal life in which each small cog must of necessity, perform on schedule if the larger machine of which it is part, is to function efficiently. The reasons for the developments of each society are quite different. The Brave New World grew out of a highly (Huxley felt too highly) mechan- ized civilization and was the result of a desire on the part of the majority for stability at any cost. Utopia was developed under the direction of a king who conquered the island, and its laws and institutions were based on love for one ' s fellow man, rather than fear. Erewhon s development appears to have been a somewhat haphazard, trial-and-error type of growth, based on logic or reason, no matter how perverse it might be. The rehgions of the three societies had nothing in common. In the Brave New World the planetary motto was Community, Identity, Stabihty and this motto was the focus of their ideals. Everythin g was for the good of the Community, and stability and identity (or total absence of individu- ality) were means to that end. All Utopians believed in a Supreme Being, but they were free to worship Him in whatever manner they chose. The Erewhonians lived by a double standard. While there was an established religion to v hich they paid lip-service, many people worshipped one particu- lar goddess in secret. Their Musical Banks wth their useless currency had an almost rehgious quality ; they resembled, in many ways, our established Churches today, with their doctrines which do not fill the needs of the people and therefore have little or no effect on their actions. ' ' Sunday Christians are satirized in the Erewhonians who make a point of carrying some Musical Bank currency, and being seen regularly at the Banks for the sake of respectability. In the Brave New World, the people had no concep- tion of immortality or an afterlife. The Utopians believed in an after-life similar to the Christian ' s conception of it. The Erewhonians felt that belief in an afterfife was immoral because it cheapened (they felt) their present existence and placed it in a secondary position. They did, however, believe in pre-existence. This world, they believed, is populated wholly by foolish unborns who leave their ghostly, eternal, and relatively happy land by their own desires, to live as humans. I do not think that human nature is such that we will ever accept the hving dead existence of Huxley ' s world, nor, I hope, accept the perverted logic of the Erewhonians, but these books may well serve as a warning. All three books were stimulating intellectual exercises in logic (especially Erewhon), as they look at society from a different angle, giving the reader a greater awareness of current trends and glimpses into a possible future. BEVERLEY BAYLAY Page 80 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN A FRIEND A friend is someone every human needs, One who knows each sorrow, joy, and care. Who laughs with you or shares a troubled heart, But more ... is one who never dares To hurt you in so small a way, To gossip or to whisper when afar, Then turn her back from you f orevermore. And you, my friend, a word which is A compHment to anyone on earth. If some day your heart becomes amiss With tidings of that darkened world of mirth Do, call on me, for if you could Pay such an honour on a soul so low That I may have a chance to prove to you What you have been to me And show that friendship is the mightiest bondage yet ! SHELAGH McINTYRE 12A SURFING U.S.A. The basic requirements of surfing are relatively simple and inexpensive, as compared with some other hobbies. For example, skiing, fishing, skin- diving, or mountain-climbing all entail considerable expense with regard to proper equipment, and in the last two instances at least, a fundamental instruction period is essential. On the other hand, the surfer needs only three things — a bathing suit, a surf board, plus the proper surf waves, ranging anywhere from two to thirty feet high. The typical foam surf board popular today generally weighs less than thirty-five pounds, and costs sixty to one hundred and ninety dollars, depending on size and ornamentation. These represent a tremendous im- provement over pre-world war II boards, which were heavy, solid planks, clumsy in performance. Not that there was much performing before 1940, the primary idea being to stand on a board in a stately posture and ride the wave towards shore. However, along with the modern balsa and foam boards came the inno- vation of the hot-dogger, or small wave rider. The lighter boards are much more responsive, can be tumed about, and speeded up or stalled. Various feats such as hanging- ten, can be performed. This involves skill and practise to maintain perfect balance while crouching with the toes curled over the tip of the board. But actually, those who have surfed for many years agree that theirs YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 81 is really a non-athletic sport, not requiring that the casual surfer be in particularly good shape. Unlike most competitive sports-men, surfers may smoke, drink, keep whatever late hours they choose, and still be reasonably adept on their boards the next morning. Good surfers also scoff at the popular belief that surfing is unduly dan- gerous. However, of the accidents that do occur, a large proportion of them are the result of the surfer being knocked unconscious by his board when he has ' ' wiped out, or fallen from it. Aside from the possibility of drown- ing, there are a few other minor hazards to this hobby. Distinctive knobs on the feet (from paddling) are inevitable. So is ' ' pterygium, an eye growth prevalent among those who suffer from prolonged exposure to the sun, and which in some cases has to be cut away annually. Comparatively speaking, a broken nose is hardly worth mentioning. As for the so-called surfing jargon which is greatly exaggerated in the movies, there are only three IN terms currently used by real surfers. These are stoked, meaning very enthusiastic or wound up, jazzed, meaning approximately the same thing, and bitchin, which means good, as in that was a bitchin surf. From the psychiatric point o f view all surfers are slightly neurotic (who isn ' t?) but so then the hot-dogger. Apparently surfers ride big waves for ego-support, in order to compensate for something vital that is lacking in their lives. They can ' t get involved like the so-called normal person. Man needs an outlet that ' s ego-gratifying. Surfing gives you this marvellous feehng of accomplishment. But the thrill is gone in four seconds, and then you have to start all over again. Every wave, every beach is different, offer- ing a newer and greater challenge than the East. Thus, whatever the reason, surfing is obviously here to stay. One of its greatest attractions is that it is an individual sport, with no rules and no time schedule. Esti- mates on the number of surfers range from less than two hundred thou- sand, to several million in the United States alone. So whether they ' re found at Wild Hook, Malibu, The Tijuana Sloughs, San Miguel, Waimea Bay, or the Banzai Pipeline, true surfers will have one thing in common. That is an inherent love of, and respect for, the Ocean. For like the surfers themselves, she is wild, rebellious, always searching and, above all, free. PAT FROST THE INDIAN A legacy of freedom ; Of lands and forests pure, Of streams and lakes and rivers, And mountains strong and sure. But later came the white man Bringing condemnation.

JULIE MENDES IIB Page 82 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN SHE WALKED ALONE Her coal-black eyes they filled with tears, And still his heart was stone. She raised to him her pleading hands, But still she was alone. She saw his hair so blond and straight, And then she touched her own. What hand had made it black and curled, And made her so alone? She saw his skin so fair and white. And then she touched her own — Her skin, as black as all the night. That left her all alone. Oh just because her hair and skin, Were not quite like his own — Was that good reason to curse her name ? And make her walk alone? ELIZABETH KEITH llA A While watching from a window high, I see the crowd go slowly by, A story in each face is told, studying? Adventures of youth, dreams of old. The faces for the most are glad. But here and there there ' s one that ' s sad. Perhaps this mother, old and gray. Thinks of her daughter, far away. How will she fare in life ' s rough game? Will she succeed, win honour and fame? Or will she lose out, give up at the start. Too weary to struggle, and faint of heart? Young and old, they all pass by, With here a smile and there a sigh. And even when this age has gone The stream of life will still flow on. MARY JANE SAWYER 12B YEAR BOOK, 1966 THE MAN One hardly notices him As he shuffles along. Now he stands alone A ragged figure in the dim lamplight. His hands are blue with cold The wind pierces his clothing and he shivers. Yet his face is serene, His eyes gentle and uncomplaining. A soft smile curves his mouth. He regards the world around him. It is strange and frightening sometimes. But he is used to strange things. His breath freezes in the cold air And swirls about his head Like a halo. His gentle manner reminds one of — But no — he is only a beggar.

The first shock was wearing off ; she knew that this had been inevitable since February. Yet, it was hard to realize that within a few hours. . . . She had always laughed when people talked of the bomb wiping out mankind. Now . . . She thought of her family. Her children, asleep for their morning nap, were lost in slumber, unaware. Her husband would have heard the news by now and would be on his way home. She thought of her friend. The people she had known since her childhood ; friends that she had grown up with, laughed with, died with. The sirens started. She went to the window and stared with unseeing eyes into the deserted street. The heat was at its worst at noon, and now it shimmered on the hot pavement. No breeze stirred the heavy, still air or the limpid leaves. She wanted to scream, the cruelty, the wasteful destruction. Why hadn ' t men ever learned to live together peacefully, to understand and love each other? Why? Why? Men, possessed with a wild desire for more power had not been content with what they had. They wanted more, Now millions of innocent people had to suffer for them. Would they ever get a chance to start again ? Her husband was home. She could hear the slam of the car door. She put out her hand to him and they clung together. Silently, they moved into the children ' s room and sat on the edge of their bed. She prayed they would stay asleep. They, at least would never know . . It was 12:25. The sirens wailed higher and louder, screaming the last sounds on a deathly continent. Then came the dreaded accompaniment, the low, monotonous moan . . . attack imminent. It was 12:30. The sirens stopped. The city shuddered and died. The world died. Man had paid the debt. ROSEMARY SCHENK IIB The sea is restless tonight. She heaves and turns as a child With nightmares does. Her mind is in a turmoil, Frenzied by the wind that lashes Her with a forked tongue. Troubled and angry, she beats, in turn The shore, pounding it With her hot words and Impatient feelings, her temper Frayed and lost. And as she vents Her passion, and the wind whips THE SEA To be, or not to be? YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 85 Her fury into frenzy, her frenzy Into hysteria, the earth Awaits the final burst of wrath Before the storm is over, And the sea falls back To ponder her destruction As a child Ues back To contemplate the fuss. NANCY FALCONER llA ON DREAMS AND YOUTH I want to dream my youth away, I want to dream in a happy way. For dreams are things that never stay When comes on age, they fly away. I want to dream of many things ; I want to run and dance and sing ; I want to be free I want to be bold ; I want to be gay and never grow old. Yet in real life I know I will But in my dreams I will cherish youth still. ROSLYN McCORMACK IIB HOPE Forever is a long long time Until the end has come and gone To dust it will return And then to nothingness Once more And each life is as a grain of sand To be blown away Leaving no mark No trace of its past existence Our hour is short Short-lived But hope is eternal. JANICE SMITH, 12 Arts THE PEACE OF LOVE What kind of world is this to-day ? What people in it dwell, Who let the peace of love decay Within a selfish shell? Why is it wrong to constitute Your own beliefs and thoughts ? For labelled, if they ' re not kept mute, A heretic to mock. The world must be united To survive these days and paces. But not in laws far-sighted For the many different races. Not in written testaments Or arrogant traditions. But through understanding. Hence, equality of nations. What wild and rash presumption To avoid all compromising And expect complete conversion To a world with one horizon. The earth revolves around the sun As we around our loved ones. To take the sun away from one Brings dreaded dark of dungeons. What day will bring the peaceful land T ' will make all men content ? What men will not but raise their hand So backs of slaves are bent? What hands will free the world to-day With hearts of understanding. So peace of love will not decay But be, for everlasting? BEVERLEY BOWEN 12B Page 86 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN PRIZE ESSAY THE DELIGHTS OF SOLITUDE Man is of necessity a creature of the community; survival forbids that he exist on his own. Thus through the centuries society has become such an increasing complex of dependencies that a complete state of solitude entails journeys over vast distances an d considerable inconvenience. Yet today man is finding it more and more necessary to achieve this solitude. The present age may feed the body but it cannot satisfy the soul. The following, then, is a glimpse — an insight perhaps — into the lives of different people the solitude they require and the joys they gain from it. There is a man somewhere — there are thousands of men everywhere — whose humdrum life continues every day of every year of every decade, whose business is a single financial brick in the nation, who pays more income tax than many people earn or are likely to earn. He cannot stop for long and he does not know much about anything except his business. Once in every year he will take his annual dose of solitude as he takes his annual dose of culture. It may be a hunting or fishing trip but a pneumatic drill will have been turned off — the rat race will have paused. Solitude holds many delights for that man: peace, tranquility, silence. The sequel to the previous account is the housewife. She has three chil- dren to look after, her husband ' s career to promote and a houseful of handy gadgets that do not always work. Her days are full of making other people ' s meals, washing other people ' s clothes, tidying other people ' s rooms and solving other people ' s problems. The only thing that can ever uncomplicate her life is the absence of people. Solitude for her, as for the business man, holds no ecstatic delights but it is perhaps the only thing she never has. Before we leave the solitude required by the general masses, the solitude that takes away responsibilities and gives peace, we should look at the dead-end kid. He lives in any slum in any city of the world. He has little or no education. He has been brought up in the gutter to live in the gutter. But he is a cut above the other kids — oh, not much maybe by our standards — but a cut above just the same. He doesn ' t like what he sees around him so he runs away from it. He has discovered solitude. It is purely an escapist action for him to find somewhere where no one else goes. He probably thinks of all manner of things that don ' t matter or dreams of unattainable heights, but then anyone who has dreams of successful ambition, finds their chief happiness in something that doesn ' t exist. There are higher forms of delight to be found in solitude — the delights of the artist. His is not an escapist solitude. He must explore the intricacies of gods and men for his art depends upon it and he lives for his art. He YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page 87 must have time and solitude to find himself that he may reach others. His delights are the delights of the artist and who of us can analyse the artist half so well as he can analyse us ? In a crowded classroom one child stands apart. He is not there. His mind is opening the doors of time and speeding down the lanes of history. He is at Rome of Aquicourt, Moscow or New Orleans. He is a Greek, a Trojan, an aristocrat, a beggar. He is talking, with Caesar or Peter the Great. He sees the Golden Warrior or the Iron Duke, for the child, today has less reality than all the shadowed ages. To that child, solitude is a gateway through the rainbow where a thread of fool ' s gold leads to mirages of joy. From youth we turn to age. An old man in a course brown habit is walk- ing in the stoney shadows of a lonely shell. But he is joyous in solitude ; he saves men ' s souls. His heart is not lonely for he walks with God. There is another old man living in a boarding house in a forgotten street in an unimpressive district in a bustling city. He has no relatives and very few friends. He is deaf ; he is old ; he is tired ; he has not laughed ; he has not cried; he sits in his chair waiting for the sunset. Think of him when you bathe in the bounty of solitude. The individual is rarely encouraged or appreciated. He is immediately put into a Httle box and labelled rebel , non-conformist , dreamer or something of the sort. He may be a little of all these things. He may think the world is a foolish place. He may see God. He may be a wise man. He may be a simpleton. Solitude is part of his life. He is searching for something that he can only find in himself though he look from the streets of New York to the hills of Tibet. Perhaps we are all searching for what Thorton Wilder described as something way down deep that is eternal in every human being. But if we find no purposeful value in solitude let us cherish it for its delights and if we find ourselves trapped in a web of humanity let us remember that a crowd is not company and people are but a gallery of faces.

But under- neath you will find that his associations here— among his T.C.S. companions and especially with the masters— are introducing him in a practical way to the values of goodness, truth, honour, loyalty, self-control and hard work. On the playing field and in the class- room, T.C.S. stresses character develop- ment within a disciplined community. A boy learns to think . . , and to act accordingly. This is indeed a school for the whole boy . And the time to take up resi- dence is in the formative years— Boulden House for younger boys starts with Grade 6.
