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
