DELEGATION REPORT This year the Branksome delegation was enthusiastically studying all the aspects of Australia ' s internal and external policy. Representing this country Eleanor (Stoney) Lougheed, Rebecca Robertson, Janet Harris, Pamela Reid, Susan Duncanson, Katherine Solandt, L inda Watson, Susan Dewar, Barbara Scandrett, Marilyn Jarvis, Elizabeth Flavelle, Elizabeth Deckert, Karin Serafin, and Barbara Ball attended sessions at Victoria College every second Sunday from September to January where we dis- cussed with other Metro Schools, prevailing world problems and possible solutions. In September Linda Watson and I with eighty other students spent a most informative and entertaining Thanksgiving weekend in New York. We spoke to delegates, attended luncheons and lectures with international guest speakers. Our visit certainly made us more aware of the workings and the importance of the United Nations. All this initial preparation led up to the most memorable and final event which was the Model U.N. Assembly. Opening at Convocation Hall with the traditional telegram from the Prime Minister we battled with the resolu- tion concerning the admittance of Red China. The delegation from Brank- some took active part in the discussions during the evening session and those of the following two days. Though the world was not profoundly affected by our resolutions we all profited from the lively discussions and the study of our country in depth. ANNEMARIE BONKALO, President

Page 30 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN THE UNITED NATIONS CLUB REPORT The one hundred and four United Nations Club members were all very active this year. When Elizabeth, Lindy and I decided it would be necessary to charge a twenty-five cent membership fee, we were afraid that some enthusiasm might die. But, on the contrary, I think we gained a few mem- bers. A stamp to make membership cards was purchased with the money collected. Our first project this year was the annual selling of U.N.I.C.E.F. cards. The girls did an excellent job, raising four hundred and nine dollars. This was a wonderful effort, considering that the U.N. Association itself, now does most of the selling through the mail. The U.N. Club had a special job from November to January. We were asked to assist Mr. Adhiya, a man who had recently come to Canada from India, in the operation of a doll ' s exhibition. Mr. Adhiya has started toy libraries (these are like book libraries, but they lend toys instead of books) in eight countries around the world. Not being sure how his idea would be received in Canada, he decided to start with a doll exhibition. He managed to secure a room in the City Hall for his exhibition and collected a marvel- lous assortment of over four hundred dolls from countries around the world. Mr. Adhyia came to the school to speak abut the project and about sixty girls volunteered to give up a few hours in the Christmas holidays to work in shifts at the exhibition. The exhi bit was held from December nineteenth to the twenty-third and with the help of our girls was a great success. In February the Club again sold pens and raised one hundred and thirty dollars for the Mysore project, Canada ' s contribution to the world-wide Freedom from Hunger Campaign. U.N. tag day in the spring followed by the luncheon ended the year with the same enthusiasm that had gone into all our projects since September. This year, instead of having one girl in charge, of the U.N. comer for the whole year, volunteers made posters when they were needed. We found this method very satisfactory since most of the girls were willing to help. I think that the 1966-67 U.N. Club accomplished some very worthwhile projects and personally I feel that I have gained a great deal by participat- ing in them. I hope the other one hundred and three members gained some- thing also. PAM REID, President
