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.

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

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.
