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.

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!
