YEAR BOOK, 1966 Page? 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.

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.
