It is especially difficult to write this, my last letter to you, as your Principal, but I shall try to share a few hopes that I have for the student body. I am always encouraged by the great numbers who are in- terested in what seems to me to be worthwhile things. Your emphasis on good sportsmanship, your enthusiasm for the work of the different societies and especially your concern for those less fortunate than you, whether in this city or in far countries, are very important and I hope that those who have tended to be self-centred will grow more broad in outlook the longer they are here. Each June we give a prize for integrity and the girl who receives it is to be congratulated. However, there are many girls who are worthy and I think that it is not too much for us to dream of a day when every single one will deserve to win it. It was the French writer, Moliere, who said, If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-night useless since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows . You may feel that you try and do not reach the standard you wish. Remember Browning ' s, Ah, but a man ' s reach should exceed his grasp or what ' s a Heaven for? and instead of complaining think of his less well-known lines The common problem, yours and mine, everyone ' s, Is not to fancy what were fair in life Provided it could be — but finding first What may be and how to make it fair up to our means . With Christ as our example, and with His help, we can go farther than we sometimes think. I am finishing forty-one years as teacher and Principal at Branksome. Now I graduate with the Class of 1968. We leave our best wishes to you and ask God ' s blessing on the School and those whom we are leaving as they endeavour to Keep Well the Road Year Book, 1968 Page 5 —Painting by Alan Collier JENNIE E. MacNEILL. M.A., LL.D. Principal — Branksome Hall 1958-1968 The above painting was presented to Miss MacNeill by the Alumnae Association, and is hung in the Dining Room of MacNeill House. Page 6 The Branksome Slogan Sunday Evening Services The rattle of chairs being moved from the Gymnasium to the Common Room in Main House, at the hour of 6.30 each Sunday evening, is an in dication that the Sunday evening Service of worship will commence shortly. The various committees of girls who faithfully carry out their duty, week by week, arranging and re-arranging and restoring the room when the service is over, is a tribute to the sense of responsibility which the girls display. In the course of the year, the School has been favoured with visits from Public and High School teachers from different parts of the city and Province; Missionaries on furlough from various countries of the world, involved in the many facets of life in other cultures, as well as those who direct operations from the Home Base; top-ranking professional business- men as well as those who are involved in the work-a-day world, while one Minister drove 100 miles to speak at our evening service; and mingled with these interesting and informative speakers, we include Moody Science films, musical evenings and occasionally an evening when we have Bible contests, and firesides. Girls from our day school are most gracious in coming to us to share their many talent?, such as piano playing and singing, and for this interest, we are most grateful. When the pressure of examinations is not upon us, the period spent with Miss MacNeill, before her fire, enjoying coffee and informal pleasantries, is always a delightful and pleasant one. Year Book, 1968 Page 7 EDITORIAL Above the door of the Branksome Hall castle in Scotland are inscribed these words: In varld is nocht nature has vroucht yat sal lest ay, Thairfore serve God, keep well ye rod, thy fame sal nocht dekay. ' In the world there is nothing nature has wrought that shall last forever. Therefore, serve God, keep well the road, thy fame shall not decay. This motto was taken by Miss Scott, the founder and first principal of Branksome Hall School. Thinking it too eloquent she chose the motto, Industria et Scientia . It remained with the school for approximately three decades when it was again changed to our present motto, Keep Well the Road . Today, very few people realize that we have still another motto in our school, that of the prefects. Live pure, speak true, right wrong. — the charge given by King Arthur to his knights when they were sworn in as Knights of the Round Table. It was certainly not an easy motto that King Arthur gave to his knights and it is not an easy one for us to follow. The above words are symbolized in the colours of the school flags: red, green, black and white. Every Branksome girl is proud of our mottoes and honestly endeavours to live up to them and so upholds the traditions of Branksome Hall School. Now as every girls goes her own way, I hope that each will have the strength and the will to Keep Well the Road . Patricia Parker Page 8 The Branksome Slogan To the Graduates — c A Message From the Alumnae Dear Graduates: Congratulations on achieving this important milestone. In the midst of all your celebrations, however, it may come as a bit of a shock to you to realize that you are about to become Branksome Old Girls! Nevertheless, after the initial blow, you will eventually come to realize, that to be a Branksome Alum is really something rather special. In the years to come, perhaps in England, France, Thailand, or even right here in Toronto, you may meet a stranger, and somehow the magic word Branksome will come up, and then you will experience that special something for yourselves. It is the love and loyalty and fellowship of Branksome that makes our great school spirit. It is this same spirit that creates an enthusiastic Alumnae. An Alumnae that works together to assist in Branksome ' s steady progress by providing additional equipment and bursaries for the benefit of the present students, and in so doing enjoys a friendly personal contact with those who have graduated either in the same year, or per- haps years apart. Together, much can be accomplished. It is our hope that the Graduat- ing Class of 1968 will join with the Alumnae to keep the flame burning brightly . . . ' Jean Macdonald Bennett, Alumnae President and Registrar. Year Book, 1968 Page 9 HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE This year at Branksome has meant a great deal to me and I would like to thank everyone for making it memorable. Though I spent quite a bit of time admonishing you, the students, I owe you so much. Your spirit and enthusiasm were more than I had ever hoped for. To the Prefects and Sub- prefects I owe a special thanks. They have made my job easier because of their support and helpful advice. Miss MacNeill and the staff too have been very helpful, always so ready to give ad- vice and assistance. I take a special interest in sports, and thanks to the efforts of Stoney and Miss Perry-Gore I feel it has been a very successful and full programme. Of course I am patsy CROSS particularly proud of our basketball achievement, and I hope you realize that we could have done nothing without so many cheering supporters. The Opheleo under Debbie Gibson has outdone itself during Ramabai and Nancy Falconer has led the Beta Kappa through a flurry of wonderful dances with imaginative settings. Although I have not heard much about the Slogan, judging by what I have heard and the amount of work Patty Parker and her variety of editors have done already, I feel sure this yearbook is bound to be some- thing special, which of course it will be anyway to all those who graduate. I shall always remember life in boarding with my boarders. I cannot help but feel a certain protectiveness for these girls from near and far as they have shown me the part of Branksome which I had missed for four years. To one and all I wish to say thank you. Everyone has been wonderful and no one can appreciate it more than me.

On Friday, October 6, 1967, one of the most important events of the school year, the Installation of our new leaders, took place. As the pro- cessional march resounded through Rosedale United Church, last year ' s prefects led the clan chieftains, sub-prefects, prefects, staff, and guests down the aisle. After God Save the Queen was sung, the annual cere- mony began. First, Miss MacNeill spoke to the congregation, recounting the history of Branksome Hall, and explaining our crest and motto, Keep Well the Road . Next, the Grade Twelve Diplomas and prizes were presented, followed by the awarding of the six Ontario Scholarships won last year. After the clan chieftains were presented, the sub-prefects and prefects Year Book, 1968 Page 13 were installed. As each one stood in the chancel, Miss MacNeill gave the audience a summary of the contributions that that particular girl had made to the school. Finally, Pat Cross, our new Head Girl, was gloriously installed.. This year, Mr. Johnson, the principal of Upper Canada College, was our honoured guest and speaker. His address, both witty and inspiring, pre- ceded the ritual of handing over the School Flags to the New Prefects. Pat was sworn in and officially became Branksome ' s new Head Girl. After we sang the school song, heard O Canada , and watched the pro- cession file out, we left the Church convinced that Branksome ' s traditions would be upheld by our new leaders in the coming year.

To Our Prefects To the girls who wear the red kilt and tie, We owe much of our fun, it ' s no lie. For you are the people who made us strong, So we could live to do no wrong. Every day, rain or shine, Our prefects are there prefecting our lines. Or helping us out with our problems. Whether or not they could solve them. Oh, the way to a prefect is rugged and hard. They live to be loyal, for Branksome they guard. Our prefects stand for the red, green, black, and white, They strive ever onward, up to the light. Next year, when all of you are gone, A whole new team will venture on. To take on the task which you once took, For up to you we all looked To Pat and the crew, you are first rate, Thank you for making this year so great. For on the four cornerstones you have built A higher standing for the girls in the kilts. The end of a tremendous year has come. Thanks for everything, all the fun. You were a fabulous bunch of prefects. And to you we all leave our sincerest wishes.

Page 28 The Branksome Slogan Two Lost So different and yet so much alike, Not strange at all, but odd, A force of kindness, a common link That couples two such souls. Lost amidst a world of friends With whom small ease it ever felt, For wildness is not in our bounds. But neither is that peace of mind By adults only reached. And so it is two doubting minds, Apart from old and young, Have found a world that ' s all their own Wherein a chord of harmony does exist. Who can say if the sound is love? God only knows the note, I think. But we know it ' s something special though. Not the desperate clinging vines That symbolize each day ' s new crush, But only a wish to be there nearby, To need and to be needed. There is no doubt that it will last, Whate ' er the test may be; For two hearts who know the same Sad sour-sweet taste Of loneliness and distrust Can never be parted, Though our paths ne ' er cross again, And miles and miles between us lie; For memory is a lasting thing, For ones so close in thought and need, And all the terrors of this life Can never destroy our mutual faith. Kathy Solandt Year Book, 1968 Page 29 SENIOR SCHOOL HEAD GIRL Patsy Cross Page 30 The Branksome Slogan Opheleo Report The first campaign of the Opheleo Committee was raising money during Ramabai Week. The School ' s enthusiasm made this year ' s effort unique. The class competition thrived on a variety of original ideas which demanded the support of every girl in the school. The entire week was filled with bake sales, beanies, Hawaiian chicken, hot dog sales and the teachers ' relay race. The climax of the week was, by the united effort of the Opheleo and Beta Kappa Committees, the Ramabai Rout. This dance was a perfect conclusion to one of the most enjoyable and successful weeks in Branksome ' s history. This campaign raised over one thousand, five hundred dollars. This money was distributed among the Ramabai Mukti Mission, the United Appeal, the Nazareth, Bethlehem and Ludhiana Hospitals and several other charity organizations. For this year ' s Christmas project the girls collected used toys and skates. These were given to the Little Trinity Church where they were sold at a very low price to many needy families. Undoubtedly this cheered up Christmas for many children. In the spring the girls voluntarily donated to Lent. This money was sent to help old Branksome Girls who are living in foreign countries and devoting their lives to Christian work. All my thanks to the Branksome girls for their support during the year and also to the Opheleo Committee and Miss Forsyth. Deborah Gibson, President Senior Choir As the strains of the mighty hymn resounded through St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church, the Senior Choir, consisting of eighty girls, started down the aisle singing the processional written especially for the Jubilee Service in 1963. After taking their places on the steps of the chancel, they sang the three remaining carols from A Christmas Garland by Richard Johnston and Margaret Mackay, a former graduate of the school. While filing to the back of the chancel for the Senior School Carols we thought, with a sense of joy and relief, that our carols had been successful. It is now nearing the end of January, and the choir has begun practis- ing for the annual Spring Concert in April. The selection includes a medley of songs by Benjamin Britten. The madrigals, we expect, will return from their special setting for Centennial to the original Elizabethan stage. On behalf of the choir, I would like to express our appreciation to Mrs. Year Book, 1968 Page 31 Page 32 The Branksome Slogan Coutts for her patience, understanding, and inspiring leadership. We are also greatly indebted to Mrs. Simmons for her fine accompaniment. I would also like to thank my executive for their great help and support throughout the year. The members are: Ruth Tow, Vice-President, Julie Wildgoose, Secretary, Elizabeth Dechert, Chief Librarian, and a Commit- tee consisting of Susan Dewar, Cathy Gartha, Cindy Gracey, Alison Green- away, Elizabeth McCutcheon, and Sheila Scott. The executive and I have really enjoyed working with the choir this year and we hope that the future leaders will have as much pleasure as we have had Margaret Ann Mar chant, President Beta Kappa This year our social season commenced earlier than usual with the Rambai Rout which combined the Boarders ' Dance and a charity drive for Ramabai. Held Friday, October 27th, it climaxed Ramabai week and heralded Hallowe ' en. At $2 a couple, we raised, together with the artful aid of the Opheleo, an extra $400 for Ramabai. The Rising Moons played free of charge while Telia Fortune and her witty Head read palms in the 13E classroom. Apple bobbing contests were held in 13P and the whole evening was wickedly wonderful! Then winter set in and on December 15th we presented A Christmas Kaleidoscope (alias the Fourth and Fifth) in the cafeteria to the music of the Group Therapy. Our hippie snowman, flashing Christmas lights, and silver foil created a dizzy, but colourful atmosphere. Then ten days after returning from the Christmas holidays we had Miss MacNeill ' s Formal. There was much flurry of paint brushes, pencils, and paper, not to mention scissors and tape, as we hurried to try and trans- form the gymnasium into a Wonderland(?)! Ten days and nights later, as we stepped through the keyhole, we couldn ' t help but feel like Alice, as the Card Soldiers painted white roses red, as the Cheshire Cat grinned superciliously from behind a live branch (a momento of the ice storm earlier that week) and as the Red Queen shouted Off with your head. Then there were also the Giant Flowers blooming from the ceiling and the moving colours on the screen which suggested the modern interpre- tation of Alice ' s journey. The Straw and the Grad Dance have yet to come and we know that Grade Twelve and the Arts classes will provide some colourful transfor- mations for everyone. The basement of Sherb is where it all starts — and it never ends. Just ask any girl with Prefects ' Hours! Nancy Falconer, President Year Book, 1968 Page 33 The United Nations Club Report This year the enthusiasm of our members has been colossal. The girls have responded eagerly and selflessly to our many projects. Each year, we have our regular money-raising efforts. These are the selling of UNICEF Christmas cards in November, our participation in the Mysore Project in February, the UN Tag Day in March and the UN luncheon in April by which we raise funds for the Freedom from Hunger Campaign. These projects were made challenging and fun by such demands as having only two and one half weeks to sell our UNICEF Christmas cards. Our club members pulled through as always, and by Christmas they had sold two hundred orders of over three thousand boxes of cards. This year our primary project involved Jamaica. Over forty per cent of the Jamaican people are illiterate and so the government asked UNESCO if they could undertake to pay for the education of these people. I found that our club could aid UNESCO in this mission by making flash cards to accompany the primary readers used at the night classes in Jamaica. We were supplied with cotton-backed paper, a sheet of one hundred words and a request for two hundred sets of each word. In this way, we not only saved UNESCO a great deal of money in printing costs, but, more rewarding, the girls had a much stronger sense of participation in the project In closing, I would like to thank all the girls for the terrific support they gave to their executive! Best of luck to next year ' s executive! Linden Armour, President. Sue Powell, Vice-President. Cathy Gartha, Secretary-Treasurer. The United Nations Delegation This year Branksome ' s United Nations Delegation represented India at the fourteenth United Nations Model Assembly. Representing Branksome were: Karen Serafin and Elizabeth Forester in Disarmament; Barbara Ball and Susan Osier in Social Humanities; Ruth Tow and Julie Wild- goose in Legal; Patricia Smythe and Fiona St. Clair in Political, Linda Michaels, Anne Cookson, and Patricia Garay in Economic, and Carol Marble and Elizabeth Flavelle in Emergency Forces. Every second Sunday from September to January, committee meetings were held at Victoria College. Branksome held the second highest atten- dance at these meetings. This year all the delegates actively participated in the lively discussions and submitted two resolutions to the General Assembly. In October we accepted the invitation of De La Salle to attend a discussion concerning the Vietnam War. Also in October, India chaired the Security Council meeting on the subject of Rhodesia. In November, due to Christmas ex- ams, we fortunately were unable to attend U.C.C. ' s discussion on the -« Page 34 The Branksome Slogan Middle East crisis. During the Christmas hohdays India helped the United Nations executive to prepare for the Model Assembly. On January 18, 19, and 20 all the delegates participated in the General Assembly and various committee meetings at Hart House, the new Physics Building, and the Great Hall. India, with six other schools was on the Secretariat. Although the Assembly is now closed for this year, the work of the dele- gates is not finished. We are still working on the compilation of a port- folio of India in connection with the Assembly. Elizabeth Flavelle, Delegation Leader Debating Report A debating society is an association in which political and other questions are debated for practice or amusement. Practice and amuse- ment are synonymous with the Branksome Debating Society. It is the only time you can air your ideas with no interruption — often very amusing ones. It is a club where things can be pleasantly learned. Each week we travel from ' blonds ' to ' superstition ' on a tempest of discussion, criticism, and slight confusion. Earth-shaking problems are resolved and violent arguments break out continuously. It is amazing, the amount of potential lying fallow in this school. The aim of our society is to cultivate it With Miss Rutherford ' s spirited guidance, we have ventured into foreign battlefields. Carol Marble, Patty McCabe, and Linda McQuaig valiantly fought Ridley College in defence of hippies but were narrowly defeated. Still we expect an anxious telephone call from David DePoe, pleading for our aid at Ottawa in the near future. Those lucky three chosen to compete at T.C.S. and in other debates go with our blessing. We know that from the experience they will gain a new assurance and feel a definite sense of accomplishment. Speak with any girl who has participated in a debate or discussion (and there are many) and she will express her views succinctly. This, surely, is an achievement! The highest ideal of a debating society is to develop logical thinking and coherent speaking. In this, we have definitely succeeded. Kathy Lyon, President Drama Club The main purpose of our Drama Club is to learn the art of good speech — how to pronounce words correctly, also to project our voice so that all may hear us clearly and get the real meaning of what we have to say. This is especially necessary when we are on the stage so that those in the back row can hear We did a one-act play at Christmas time which we had to learn in a very short term. For our final term in May, we will put on two one-act plays: Protest, by Norman Williams, a play of Japan, and a Canadian historical play. In addition, we hope to do an excerpt from Shakespeare. Lissa McRae Year Book, 1968 Page 35 The Carol Service For most of us, the Christmas season truly commences with the annual Carol Service, and this year was no exception. The service, in St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church began with a trio singing the first verse of Once in Royal David ' s City before the rest of the school and the congregation joined in for the processional. The Junior School, under the expert guidance of Miss Dryden, sang a selection of carols developing the theme Jesus is Born . They were followed by the Junior Choir, directed by Mrs. Coutts. The Senior Choir then sang a medley of songs Sing Praises Unto Our God , written for the Senior Choir in 1963, on the occasion of the school ' s Diamond Jubilee. Both choirs and the Senior School are indebted to Mrs. Coutts for her excellent direction and patience! Rejoice and Be Merry was the theme of the Senior School, which finished the service. As they sang, a group of angels appeared with the holy family in the upper part of the chancel, and three kings came regally down the aisle, knelt before the holy Child, and raised their gifts in adora- tion and praise. The last strains of Angels from the Realms of Glory echoing through the church brought another Carol Service to a close. Carol Marble, 12A Read! Read! Read! There were seventeen girls on the committee altogether this year. In every class there was a representative who was responsible for collecting fines from the tardy readers in her class. Meetings were held regularly, and problems were discussed and solved (we hope! ). One of the objectives of the Library Committee this year was to encour- age Branksomites to frequent the library and become more familiar with the wide selection of books available. We have been very fortunate this year in acquiring several new and interesting books which have added greatly to the value of the library. Debbie Stone and Jackie Baker were appointed librarians to the staff. They were successful in simplifying the cataloguing of the books and numbering them in the regular library manner. We would both like to express our thanks to Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Vagg, Mrs. Hewitt, and the entire committee for their help and support in all of our endeavours. Remember, Branksomites, to keep going up and on ... to the library! Sandy Bennett, Mamie McKenzie Page 36 The Branksome Slogan Stratford Report Never let it be said that the cold and damp can lower the spirits of a Branksome girl! For such it was when forty-five girls, on September 23, boarded a bus at the school, destination — Stratford. Mid hot dogs, sand- wiches, rivers, swans, parks, and museums, they passed the time before the play began. Promptly at two o ' clock, with little mishap in finding their seats, they awaited the lights on the stage signifying the beginning of Shakespeare ' s Merry Wives of Windsor. For two and a half hours they laughed at the antics of Tony van Bridge as Falstaff , Frances Hyland as Mistress Page, and Zoe Caldwell, as Mistress Ford, and at the never-to-be- forgotten laundry basket. Then with freshly gleaned knowledge, they rode back to Toronto, feeling thankful to Mrs. Coutts and Mrs. Gamey for their thoughtfulness in arranging such a fun and worthwhile trip. Elizabeth Derchert 12A Our English Sherborne Rep. Says Goodbye! when I put my name down on the list for this year ' s Sherborne Rep. I did not know what I was in for, and when I was asked if I would like to come here for the year, I said yes happily, but still without wondering just what it would be like to stay for 10 months in a country which is said to be half covered with ice and the other half covered with water. I was teased that I would have to learn to fish through ice and build wigwams. So you can imagine my delight on coming here and being met, not by red skins, but by masses of friendly humans all talking at once in a language I found very difficult to recognise as my own. However, the language barrier was soon broken down and I discovered that all Canadians are not Barbarians. You have all been wonderful this year and I will always be grateful to you and to your school for offering me this opportunity to meet you and to see your terriffic country. I hope I will be able to come back some day. As I was told it would, my year has given me some fascinating experi- ences, from seeing the famous Mounties ' musical ride down to the dis- covery that a skie-doo is not a drink. I hope many of you will be able to come over to England and see me (it ' s not too bad, if you don ' t mind a little fog and you drink tea), but until then, good-bye and the best of British Luck to you all for the future. Julie Year Book, 1968 Page 37 BOARDING ACTIVITIES Main House Main House splashed into ' 67 at the swim meet by placing a lofty third. Our Christmas Party was a crowning glory to the efforts and enthus- iasm of each one of us. Jill Ramsay donned the Santa Claus suit, and we were honoured by the presence of Miss MacNeill and other members of the staff Most of the girls enjoyed the first annual Ramabai Dance to which every grade was invited, but all carefully evacuated the building on the night of the Grades 11, 12, and 13 Formal. From September to the present, we have overcome surprise birthday parties, gruelling exams, reprimands (and Marks!) from our matronly house mothers, and glorious vacations spent at home. Even after scolding and misbehaviour, the eagerness and vigour of the Main House girls remains undaunted. MacNeill House Hallelujah! Hallelujah! From the powerful strains of hallelujah in the morning to the feeble tinkle of the bell at night all thirty-one skirls along with the four staff members lead a busy day. And so far it has been with- out a doubt a busy five months for us as well. We were fortunate to spend an evening in October at Massey Hall list- ening to Peter, Paul, and Mary; but in November we were unfortunate in experiencing a false fire alarm. Then December started MacNeill rock- ing with the rhythm of the Group Therapy. Before we knew it the Christmas spirit invaded MacNeill House in the person of Old Santa Oldfield from sunny Florida in her wheelchair-type sleigh complete with red costume and sunglasses. She was accompanied by Dubery Donner and Betsy Blitzer complete with fur coats and antlers. Miss MacNeill and staff joined in the laughter and games and food was plentiful. At the end of the evening we all reaped benefits from Dodie France ' s beautiful chocolate Christmas tree Although kitchen privileges have been threatened the aromas have never ceased to waft down the halls amid screams and the telephone ' s incessant ringing. But the best of MacNeill House is the girls themselves among whom we are proud to have the head girl, the Sherborne representative, and all of the graduating class presidents. Many thanks to Mrs. Anderson, MacNeill ' s new housemother, for her guidance this year. Good luck, MacNeill girls, and remember when you graduate — Halleluj ah ! Page 38 The Branksome Slogan Year Book, 1968 Page 39 Page 40 The Branksome Slogan The Ainslie House Report There is never a dull moment in boarding, especially in Ainslie House. How can we forget dragging ourselves out of bed for fire drills in the middle of the night — it ' s a good thing it wasn ' t pouring rain, poor Mrs. Waterson would have had twenty-eight drowned rats to contend with. The telephone was used so constantly that one night it actually fell off the wall. Wouldn ' t it have been a disaster if it had been out of order for good? The most glorious day this year, we must admit, occurred when the great snow storm struck. Our unofficial holiday was spent romping in the mountainous snow drifts, tobogganing on cardboard and of course snow- balling. We ' ll always remember the Ramabai Rout, spookily decorated with skulls and all Boris ' treasures. The formal was certainly a gala event never to be forgotten. Most of all, though we shall never forget the Crazy Foam and water fights ( what an awful thing to do ); the blackout in study and the pitter patter of little? feet after lights out. Our heartfelt appreciation and thanks go to Mrs. Waterson who made the wonderful year possible. Sherborne House Report A new year, new privileges, and a house full of great kids. It seems that this is the way Sherborne turned out to be this 1967-68. Togetherness, no big fights, and lots of fun. At the beginning of the year, the marks were comparatively few, but as the weeks went by, the gate list got longer! Nobody minded. When Saturday came so many of us would stroll down to the lower field and talk for long hours. . . . Christmas came soon. With great enthusiasm we decorated our petit arbre , and put all sorts of little goodies under it. On the day of our party, everyone was present, including Miss Forsyth, Mrs. Hipwell, Miss Claxton, Mrs. White, and good ol ' Santa Rosie, with his helper Joanne. We all received beautiful gifts, especially Noll and Cathy-Ann. . . . It ' s a good thing Miss Forsyth didn ' t see them! After the Christmas holidays, the birthday parties started. How great it was to be surprised by a choir of Sherbornites singing Happy Birth- day an occasion nobody should miss. So another year went by, full of happy days, and a few sad ones. Our thanks to Mrs. Hipwell and Mrs. Little for having so much patience, especially with overflowing bathtubs, never-ending telephone calls, and those Sunday breakfasts . . . !

School Chapel Comment Branksome, a school which emphasizes reUgion, should have a school chapel. It would be one of the most frequented buildings on the school grounds. Scripture, wihch is taught to every Branksomite, would be held in the chapel. The religious atmosphere of the chapel would be far more suitable for the teaching of religious knowledge than the classroom. Scripture, by being held in a chapel, would gain importance, and respect from the student. The boarder ' s regular Sunday evening services would take place in the chapel. Again, the dominant atmosphere of reverence would be far greater than in the common room, and therefore the indi- vidual would benefit more. The school would assemble every morning in the chapel for prayers, instead of in the gym. Naturally, the prayers would be far more meaningful when held in a chapel, than in a room which one immediately associates with basketball and exercises. For these reasons, Branksome should follow the example of many indepen- dent and private schools and have a school chapel. Elizabeth Flavelle Year Book, 1968 Page 47 Racial Discrimination Throughout the world, people of different tongues and skin colours are fighting to prove their superiority, but as yet no nation has shown itself supreme. The portion of this conflict closest and most familiar to us is the Negro-White problem on our own continent, in which the large majority of white people refuse to accept the Negro as an equal human being. The primary source of this feeling lies in the hands of three groups of people: the educators, the employers, and the parents. The Negro, through segregation, is being denied the right to secure a satisfactory education. When man is refused a source of learning, it is understandable that he cannot match the achievements of the well- educated person. He who declares that the Negro has an inferior intellect may be the educator who has locked the door to free education for all citizens. These teachers who refuse to instruct Negro students arouse adverse feelings among their younger children towards coloured people, for a bitter attitude is easily detected. These children are being taught to become the future discrimination adults. If he manages to attain a high standard of education, the Negro is faced with yet another barrier. It is that of finding a source of employ- ment. Although they should hire workers for their abilities, many em- ployers allow the applicant ' s race to rule their decisions. Thus many coloured men and women are denied the opportunity to work in the profession for which they are best qualified. If the people who fill their places are less fit for the job, the country suffers for the employer ' s discrimination. Before man delves into the w orkings of the universe, per- haps he should discover whether his skin colour determines his capacity for knowledge, or his efficiency in his occupation! Parents have the greatest effect on the future of this conflict, for their own opinions influence those of their children. Many youngsters who are taught not to play with Negroes grow up feeling that coloured people are different and inferior. Some parents, however, encourage their younger children to associate with Negroes in the hope that they will not develop hostile feelings towards them. Yet the same parents refuse to allow their teenagers to date their coloured friends, because they fear inter-racial marriage. The adults declare that their reason for doing so is not that they feel superior, but rather that they fear public opinion. Yet who is not public, if they are not? If the Negro were given the opportunity to prove his equality, the result would be convincing. Perhaps this is what the white man fears. Carolyn Brown Page 48 The Branksome Slogan Expo ' s Success and Contribution Expo did not succeed because the pavilions were new or different, but because the people who went were unified in a common way. Expo could have been considered the capital of the world for the six months of the exhibition. An African visitor proved this by saying, Expo is a place where all men are equal, regardless of colour or creed. As a human crossroads, Expo helped to pave the way towards closer co-operation on an international scale. You, the visitor, went home with a more sensitive appreciation and a wider understanding. In this way, you contributed to Expo ' s success. Ruth Tow, 12A Canada ' s Future Voters Political science, or at least current events, should be taught at the High School level. Most students in the Canadian school systems will not go on to university. It is imperative that these students have some con- ception of Canadian government before they become the voters who will direct Canada ' s future. We do not leave students to pick up the rudi- ments of algebra as they go along through life. Why then do we abandon them to their own devices in the far more important field of national government? It is essential to the well-being of Canada that we train her future citizens to be responsible voters Carol Wilton, 12A How sweet it is! ' Study Deep! Year Book, 1968 Page 49 LITERARY EDITOR Elizabeth Keith Page 50 The Branksome Slogan What Hope For the Future? The youth of Toronto are dying! Nowhere is this exempHfied more than in Yorkville. Although parents claim that Yorkville is the scourge of their lives (suburban life in many cases) they should acknowledge it as an asset — a very essential part of Toronto. For it is Yorkville that pulls to the surface one of the main problems facing Canadian youth today. A deadly disease is showing advanced stages in many, if not all of the younger generation. There are diseases of the mind and spirit as well as diseases of the body, and this, a most dangerous one, may affect both. It is a simple disease, but once imbedded it has a cancerous growth, and can destroy a person, totally and inevitably. Its main factor is the taking of things for granted. Taking things for granted. How silly, you say. But it is true — terrify- ingly true. For youth today is beginning to take everything for granted — clothes, food, shelter, peace, freedom, even life! No longer do we work to earn our food and clothing. No longer do we think how we achieved our privileged state of peace and freedom. Never do we show gratitude for life itself. We take it for granted. Teenagers today have never been troubled by war or depression. Perhaps they could cure our disease. Hardship could shock us right out of this sense of security that we have. Our calm, serene, meandering river of life may soon come to a torrential waterfall. Will we be prepared? Our parents have supplied almost every- thing; the school system, the rest. Here lies the root of the problem — we rely on them for everything. We take things for granted. A visible outward result of this intangible disease is Yorkville. Because our youth does not concern itself with the necessities of life, because we are given no responsibility for them, we seek other things from life. But we do not even know what life is — we take it for granted. We have not had to fight for it; we do not realize its value; therefore we treat it like a rubber ball, not the crystal one that it is. We play with life, experiment- ing with alcohol and drugs. Thus the disease spreads from our minds to our bodies. We are out for fun, for that is all that is left. And we find it in Yorkville. Yet parents curse Yorkville. It is not the Village itself; it is not the hippies or the greasers down there; it is the influence behind our actions that they should curse Are there Yorkvilles in India, China, Africa, or South America? Do teenagers there race around in cars, go to drinking or dope parties, paint trees red, or pull fire alarms? Youth in many places still have to fight for life, for freedom, for peace, for food. It is not handed to them on a silver platter. But we do not think about other people and their problems. We do not even care about the problems in Toronto. A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle. ' The solution? Is there one? Perhaps if people recognize and diagnose Literary section contributed by some of the parents and friends towards a successful Year Book. Year Book, 1968 Page 51 the disease a cure will be found. A draft system could be created — not necessarily for the army, but rather a conscription of all students finish- ing grade 13. Girls and boys could be sent for a year to some other part of the world, preferably a poor country, or a country at war, and made to work, even fight, for life, let alone food. Maybe then they would dis- cover what we are seeking — the meaning of life. There are many things we have to learn, in this age where discoveries are made every day, but where few have learned the way to be happy. We will never learn it if we don ' t first stop taking things for granted. The future of Canada and the world depends on our generation. What hope is there then for the future? Barbara Ball The Seal Trusting and cuddlely they wiggle along. They ' ve never committed a sin. But before they ' ve begun, they ' ve done something wrong — They ' ve been born with soft, silky skin. They ' re as pure as the ice upon which they stand, So they couldn ' t possibly know That these creatures approaching with club in hand Shall leave only their blood on the snow. Appealing brown eyes, oblivious to hate. Soon have closed in a spasm of pain. What did they do to deserve such a fate? To receive a death-blow on the brain?

Year Book, 1968 Page 53 The Moon A misty moon peeped through the trees, Which, with the autumn passed, had lost their leaves, Standing now, barren, bleak, grotesque Against the sky. The moon seemed cold, so far away. As in the dark folds of the sky it lay Surrounded by twinkling stars, so bright They warmed my heart. Suspended in the eternity of space. Unmolested by life ' s relentless pace, This moon so peaceful, tranquil, pure, unsullied, Aroused my pity. Unsuspecting, innocent of man ' s desire, The moon lies open to his accurate fire Of rockets, missiles which would marr Its perfect solitude. Barbara Ball Why the Dandelion— or— Centennial Made Easy when one mentions the word Dandelion to a typical suburban house- owner, a look of sheer panic crosses his face and he begins to gesticulate violently. If one then attempts to locate the source of this definite neurotic symptom, he only shakes his head brokenly and mutters incoherently over and over, the word weed. The only actual objection to the dandelion seems to be that it grows without daily coddling. This robust plant sprouts healthily in any clime while its fragile relatives, such as the zinnia and the snap-dragon seem to expire if they receive a second too much sunlight, or a gram too little water. Not only is the dandelion an exceedingly healthy plant but it is also very attractive. Who can disagree that its cheerful yellow would brighten any garden? Moreover, when the dandelion dies, it does not wither and turn an ugly brown like the iris or tulip, but transforms itself into an enchanting ball of fluff. Lastly, the dandelion is extremely useful. Salads and wines can be made from the plant while its expanding roots rid the earth of more mundane forms of vegetation — like grass. I therefore urge you, as your Centennial project, to reseed your lawn and gardens with dandelion. Without fear of failure, you can be certain that by mid-May your entire yard will be one brilliant yellow carpet. And then, as an added gesture of good will, stop those envious looks of your neighbors by blowing dandelion seed all over their grounds too! Carol Marble 12 A Page 54 The Branksome Slogan A Problem of House and Day The halls of Branksome each year are filled with many girls who unfor- tunately appear to be divided into two groups, day girls and house girls. For the house girls Branksome is a temporary home, while for the day girls it is merely a school. The house girls find their home invaded each day by students who, as the majority, control most of the pro- ceedings during the day, only to leave after the 3 o ' clock bell or hopefully sports. A certain amount of resentment is inevitably felt because of this invasion, and the basis of a problem can be found here. The boarders at Branksome are understandably a closely-knit group. Each September approximately 130 girls arrive from a wide variety of places to live at Branksome for a school year. Friends are easily made in these circumstances because the girls will live under the same roof and will constantly be sharing experiences. However the majority of the school is made up of girls who arrive in the morning and leave in the evening, the day girls. There seems to be some kind of code against having a friend in the majority if you are a part of the minority. After a short time in boarding a house girl has been conditioned to envy and dislike the day girls, because of the freedom they suggest. When you enter boarding the school is accepting the responsibility of taking care of you. What an impossible feat this would be without restrictions! To some girls these rules may seem too restricting and they may be un- necessary for them, but for another girl of different maturity the exist- ence of these regulations will keep her under control when away from parental control. But don ' t hate people because they may do a few more things than you. Accept it as a fact of boarding in high school, regardless of age, or grade. However neither side is blameless. The day girls must realize this problem and most important, do something about it. You must realize that a boarder has many close friends in her fellow-boarders, but she also wishes to have friends outside of boarding. Nevertheless every Saturday brings with it for at least one boarder the prospect of a dull movie, or a day on school grounds with nothing much to do. How happy she would be if a day girl had invited her to come to visit for a few hours or even possibly for dinner, and wouldn ' t it be nice to become really good friends with someone new. All it takes is a very little effort, and you may discover a friend for life Of course the effort must be made on both sides equally, so when a day girl makes an effort to help to meet her half way as I hope she will when you overcome the initial inertia. By now the house girl thinks that any day girl who shows any interest in making her feel at home in Toronto is out to win an award. I am sure I am right in saying you are mistaken. This year I have had my first experience of boarding, and now I claim Year Book, 1968 Page 55 to know everything of both worlds. This is not true, as I have not felt the loneliness of being in a strange city where I know no one, but I seem to find myself in a unique position; either one or the other, but really neither one nor the other. The day girls call me a boarder, and to the boarders I am really only a day girl — how would I know. How lonely! On the one hand I meet apathetic day girls and on the other I meet angered boarders. It really provokes a lot of thought. I have spent much time thinking about this problem which will always occur when these two groups appear in one school. I cannot help but hope that if each side would just sit down and give it some serious thought, somewhere along the line you would see what you are missing and act to lessen the problem. Patsy Cross 13E Night As black as the ashes of a fire, The night surged in unknown. Beneath its mercy, cold and black, I made my way alone. Its fingers cold crept up my spine In a mocking, taunting grasp. I ran and ran to escape its hold. And was greeted by its blast. All hushed: the wind ran softer now. The moon lay like a dove. It opened long-shut doors of life, And stirred my heart to love. Each star was like an endless dream — Like a diamond on the beach. Though once they had seemed all too high. Now I could . . . nearly . . . reach! Life ' s simple tasks and joys were lost. The dark had come to reign. I felt its power in my heart, And its magic in my veins. I ran now, not for fear but joy. As the wind splashed like the sea, I ran and felt its shivery breath Make my heart beat wild and free! Linda McQuaig Page 56 The Branksome Slogan Ja ' s loving touch-Slumberland WINNER Solitude A moon shines in solitude — I sit beneath. We are two, the moon and I. How calm, how placid, how serene, How silent the moon. As I wonder at its princely dome A soft glow falls upon my face; A star appears beside the moon; Now we are three — the star, the moon, and I. Fiona Stewart In Many Forms When blue water is angry And spits a flying foam On pitted cliffs of pink granite; Or when snapping pine trees Shiver like whips against the wind; Beauty is in the Fight. When the sun hangs high Deeply sunk in jaded sky; When gold drips blood-red autumn The world is ever still. And Beauty is in the Dead. When man meets man And minds meets mind When through the giving of love And the sharing of faith They each begin to understand Then Beauty lies in Completion. But if a poet paints these things For everlasting time That each time read an emotion of the dead Is recaptured for another; Then Beauty is the Word.

Each step must not weaken To reach home before night. To her child she must bring The fish she had caught, Her husband was sick. And death he had fought. The pack was too heavy, Her hands were too cold. She could not keep walking Or tighten her hold. She dropped her huge pack And fell to her knees; A rest she must take. Forever to freeze. When hunters had found her They buried her deep; Now in peace forever. Forever to sleep. Alone in the Northlands, With the wide open white. Her child, he sought her, No person in sight. Then darkness it came. No sound could he hear; The boy returned home With hunger and fear. His father was dying. His mother not near; Why did she not come To a father so dear? It was near morning When his life had been spent, The boy, so young, Knew not what death meant. Alone in the Northlands, With the wide open white, His mother, his father, No person in sight.

Are you going to the dance Friday? queries a crafty prefect cautiously. Well, er . . . no, comes the timid reply. Why not? she snaps back, with lightning speed. Because I don ' t have anyone to go with, you admit humbly. Go with anyone, she commands. You don ' t have to be in love with him — you don ' t even have to like him. Just go . . . Get a blind date! Those fateful words! But what dread imaginings come to mind. The more timid of you think immediately of those warnings whispered to you by your mothers from the cradle, Don ' t accept a ride with a stranger!

So as you ponder during the next few days, trying to determine whether or not the odds are high enough, read this excerpt from Mad Magazine : A blind date is Neatness with a run in her stocking. Primness with mustard on her chin. Shyness with a loud voice. Poise with her slip show- ing, Feminity with a hint of moustache, and Hysteria in gym bloomers.

Sports teach you to be a good loser!! Sports teach you sportsmanship and teamwork!!! Sports teach you loyalty and create school spirit!!!! EVERYBODY SHOULD LOVE SPORTS — but everyone doesn ' t! The validity of these cliches has no meaning any more. They have been said so often that they go in one ear and out the other . How- ever the basis of sports at Brank- some is involvement. The sports ' program is designed to give every girl, regardless of athletic ability or age, the chance to participate in the school: after-school activities are varied and open to all; class teams are open only to those not on school teams; clan competitions stretch from art, to drama, to humour, to tug-of-war, to skilled basketball matches. The chance is there but you must take it. Partici- pation leads to involvement in the school which then develops pride in it. School spirit is the expression of this pride, and happens when Branksome Spirit the separate girls come together and function as a team. You don ' t have to like sports or be athletic to be a part of that team for the cheerer at the game is just as essential as the star forward. So even if you hate sports hold your thumb up high, yell out the song and join the Branksome Team! Stoney Gathering of the Clans Branksome ' s great clan spirit was officially renewed at the Gath- ering of the Clans. It all began with that dainty contest — The Tug of War. The outstanding enthusiasm of all the clans resulted in lively competition as in the Dressing of the Clan Chieftains and the Scaven- ger Hunt. In the end, though the prized ice-cream bars were awarded to the victorious Scotts, as their clan chieftain Barb Pattison, mod- estly states, I couldn ' t have done it without my clan. Elizabeth Flavelle In the Swim This year the inter-clan meet was a great success. All the Branksome Beauties wore their bikinis so naturally things started with a roar.

Year Book, 1968 Page 63 Baseball 1967 After months of extensive late winter training Branksome ' s well organized team followed tradition and met with St. Clements, B.S.S. and Havergal on Sports Day. This team contained all the spirit and enthusiasm of last year ' s victorious team. Branksome managed to win all three games. They all proved to be challenging but the superb pitch- ing of Barb Pattison wrought their downfall. This made Branksome again victorious. The team wishes to thank Miss Perry-Gore for her invaluable as- sistance and knowledge of baseball. Eve Martin, sports captain and Barb Pattison, team captain also deserve thanks for picking and training the winning team. Patsy Turnhull Tennis 1966-67 Owing to the generosity of the staff and enthusiasm of the players our School Championships were held in school hours. What better education than the varied styles and techniques of this year ' s con- testants. Senior Championships: Debbie Gib- son ' s vicious slices were matched against Marilyn Price ' s unortho- dox side-swipes. Eventually Deb- bie ' s amazing shots broke Mari- lyn ' s resistance. Intermediate Championships: Diana Gibson ' s rather radical game proved victorious over Marilyn Jarvis ' s steadier more consistant game. Doubles: Again the Gibson ' s family proved victorious when the slam and slice united to face the steady power of Pat Cross and Patty Parker. Interschool: With variety and tal- ent like this how could Brank- some help but win in interschool competition? In the Saturday morning Round Robin Brank- some whipped Havergal, B.S.S. and St. Clements. Branksome has shown great talent in a sport that requires skill, concentration and brain- work, through rigorous instruction by Miss Perry-Gore. Linda Michaels Playday at Havergal On Saturday, October 21, the four private girls ' schools held a basketball round robin. Although we did not win, we did tie for first place with B.S.S. The attendance of Branksome supporters tripled those of other schools. The enthu- siasm, in the singing of our three new sports songs, resulted in doing them in silence, with motions. Un- usual talents were displayed by our head girl and Martha Hawke. Pat played one game with one bare foot, while Martha shot a spectacu- lar basket from halfway down the court. The opposing team almost retired after that shot. George, our new school mascot led us faith- fully through every cheer. It was certainly a great start for this year ' s sports pro gram. Sheila Corrigan Page 64 The Branksome Slogan Year Book, 1968 Page 65 Swimming The competitive swim team has been training very enthusiastically this year. The team was strong and confident in the inter-school swim- ming meet. But unfortunately due to technical difficulties we man- aged only a third in the five school competition being beaten by Hav- ergal and B.S.S. However the season hasn ' t finished and we are working hard to better our posi- tion in the remaining meets. In the Life Saving and Red Cross tests the girls have been passing the tests and striving to uphold the school ' s tradition of excellence in this section. Their goal again this year is the Cochrane Shield pre- sented to the Ontario School which passes the most swimmers in Life Saving Awards. Last year Brank- some placed second to a high school in Fort William. But needless to say the swim- ming section is a happy cheerful section under the kind guidance and coaching of Mrs. Van Fleet and for this we would like to thank her warmly. Debbie Gibson (Captain) Senior Volleyball This year an excellent team was picked from the rank and file of the Branksome girls. Our main aim was the round robin at B.S.S. where five schools would compete for the championship. In prepara- tion we dragged ourselves out of bed to be at school for 8:30 prac- tices. From these gatherings we emerged as a team . Unfortun- ately we were unable to reach our peak for the game and we ended up in a three way tie for second place!

St. Clements 12, Branksome 32. B.S.S. 17, Branksome 28. The Cup was not won only by our superb athletes with their fleet feet (though they did come in handy). It was a combined effort of leg- breaking (just ask Melissa), good fun (just ask the team at 8:15), and unparalleled, unique, over- whelming support (just ask George). Never has such a combined eff ort been made. Many thanks to Miss P. G. Stoney, the Prefects and the GIRLS. May the CUP rust and cor- rode on our shelves!!

As the regular season unfolded, the team succeeded in defeating St. Clements 33 to 24. Our second game, against B.S.S., found us on Branksome soil, yet narrowly losing 22 to 15. In our last game Ugainst Havergal the Second team redeemed itself, winning a chal- lenging match 20 to 19. Special thanks go to Miss Perry-Gore for the team practices, and to Stoney for the spirit. Captain: Jackie Third Team Our first game in October we played with eager zest. We threw and we dribbled to win over Havergal ' s third best. We fought and we struggled against the next mighty team. But our feet were soon tired against B.S.S. ' s unending steam. Our next opposition St. Mildred ' s was to be. One point we only needed (three we got to win the victory). Our bunny boppers go wild! Then of course there was St. Clements good And out of that the third team, the very first stood! A hearty thanks we now extend. To Miss Perry-Gore, Stoney, and Just Plain George, our friend. Captain: Caroline Fourth Team One win — one draw — two losses — that is the way the Fourth Team played basketball this season. Our supporters were great — always on hand to cheer us on. The spirit was high — the songs and cheers rang out regardless of the result of the game. Defeated by Havergal, again by B.S.S., tied with St. Mildred ' s we were not discouraged and at last were victorious against St. Cle- ment ' s. We would like to thank Miss Perry-Gore and Stoney for their help and encouragement during our games. Captain: Carol Intermediate Volleyball Our team had an extremely suc- cessful season, winning all of our matches at the annual round robin held at B.S.S. early in February. Branksome was followed by B.S.S. , with St. Mildred ' s third, and Hav- ergal fourth. The team work dis- played by the inspired Interme- diates was developed by a patient Miss Perry-Gore at those 8:30 practices. The team wishes to thank Miss Perry-Gore and Stoney and all the girls who supported them at the round robin. Melissa Clarke ( Captain ) Year Book, 1968 Page 69 FOURTH BASKETBALL TEAM Back Row: E.

Year Book, 1968 Page 71 Campbell Clan — Ne obliviscaris ' ' Another year is gone and a new one is beginning. With it a new spirit has emerged from among the Campbell girls. Perhaps it is due to our new clan system in which the stress is just not on sports but on all phases of school life. The year began in September with the Gathering of the Clans in which Campbell placed fifth. Although we did not reach the top, the spirit was tremendous and it proved very encouraging to me as clan chieftain. The clan swim gathering in October saw Campbell placing second with a large delegation of loyal Campbellites cheering our swimmers on. Both our basketball teams lost their games, but then again, volley ball always was our sport! Our first attempt at the artistic side of things was the first clan poster of which the theme was Man and His World . Campbell placed fourth and I would particularly like to thank Irene Duerdoth for her tremendous efforts on this poster November was also the month of the election of the clan sub-chieftains. From our three nominees, Cathy Gartha, Pat Garay, and Chris Goldschlag, Cathy was elected and has since done a terrific job! Heap Big Indian Day was a fun gathering in December. Campbell again did extremely well, placing second. Now we are in the midst of another poster and a variety show for which we are continually rehearsing. I would like to thank every girl on the Campbell clan for the tremendous spirit and loyalty she has shown this year and for making it a memorable one for me. I only hope you do the same for Cathy, and remember Keep on fighting to the end Marilyn MacAlpine Clan It ' s for the dear, old clan we yell, we yell, we yell! ! ! That ' s certainly been true this year and I have everyone of you to thank for it. We started the year with the Gathering of the Clans in which we were second only to Scott in points and second to no-one in enthusiasm. Next came the swim meet and were second to none. Our head girl made a big splash and one of our prefects collected a grand total of seven pen- nies in the first event! Heap Big Indian day was a new idea and I ' m sure it will become a fast tradition because of its success. We tied for third place. Our three nominees for sub clan-chieftain were Karen Keir, Pat Kerr, and Julie Dinnick. It was really close but Julie won. Judging by what a tremendous help she has been to me (especially with the clan entertain- ment ) I know that you will have great leadership next year — great leader- ship for a great clan. Three cheers for MacAlpine! ! ! Pam Page 72 The Branksome Slogan McLeod Clan - Hold Fast .99 September saw 48 girls true Tromp to lower field of Junior school, We attacked all problems confronted We battled and rallied, pulled and hunted.

But in contrast to that we ' ll always remember Indian Day and our victorious December. Talent-Show, volleyball. Poster Competition We ' ll win in the future with aid of Superstition. At last, thanks Linda for our new clan song. We ' ll sing it with spirit to lead us along. Thanks McLeod and Patty for your great support. And don ' t be too critical of this poor report. Caroline Douglas Clan Forward ye Douglases Stand up and cheer You ' ve done more than enough To please me this year. The Sub-Chieftain nominees Were hushed and discreet Then it came to the winner The count was complete. At the gathering of clans I ' m pleased to say Our attendance was great We placed fourth that day. It was close to the end The decision was called Paula Turner your chieftain Won ' t you help her next fall? Now during the swim meet Sue curled up and rolled Down on the diving board Gave us third for the toll. From down in my heart I will not forget You ' re the best group of girls That Paula can get. It was a Heap Big Day So you all gave the yell Our challenge was met For our clan you did well. Carolyn Amell Year Book, 1968 Page 73 Ross Clan — Spem successus alit Dear Rossites: Already the time of year has rolled around for me to write my report. We ' ve done so much this year it ' s going to be difficult to mention it all. In September we all hurried down to the Gathering of the Clans. Remem- ber the frantic hunt for a worm? We only came sixth but the spirit was blooming. October contained the clan basketball games and the clan Swim Gathering. Our under 16 basketball team did really well and made it to the semi-finals. We didn ' t do quite so well in the swimming but even though we came seventh it was still fun cheering on the teams and being splashed by flailing arms. Wasn ' t it girls? November brought the choosing of the clan sub-chieftains Ann Wilton, Carolyn Brown and Kathy Drope. After two weeks Kathy was chosen to lead the clan next year. We also handed in our first poster in November. The theme was Man and His World and Archie Ross as he was called by his inventors gained us sixth place. In December we experienced a new clan gathering, namely Heap Big Indian Day . Remember Skinning the Snake and our challenge Giddyup Injun ? We managed to tie for fourth. Heap big success. Now another poster is upon us, the theme being Fashion . I ' m sure we ' ll always remember the Clan Variety Show with the 3 Bears and Kids . Enthusiasm this year has been terrific. I know I ' m leaving the clan in capable hands. Good luck next year Kath! Remember Rossites Success Fosters Hope , so let ' s GO! GO! GO! Cindy McLean Clan — Virtue mine honour Readacres was once again covered by the green plaid of Branksome kilts as McLeanites scurried off to eagerly participate in the Gathering of the Clans. The year began well, for forty of the forty-seven McLeanites were urging us to victory. The Gathering was a tremendous success. A swim meet followed where we, as a clan, demonstrated our aquatic prowess by performing such manoeuvres as penny dives and cannon- balls . On Heap Big Indian Day , after challenging other clans to such races as Skin the Snake, we achieved second place. This new clan competition was fun for all The election of your new Clan Chieftain, Liz Buckley, was an exciting close to the first term. Liz has already proved herself to be willing and enthusiastic and I know you will all give her your support in the upcoming year. Throughout the year McLeanites have shown a keen interest in clan activities. This has been apparent by our high standing in the attendance competition. I would particularly like to thank the new grade nine girls and the old grade thirteen girls who have been a terrific help. I feel privileged to have been your Clan Chieftain and I congratulate you on being the proud possessors of McLean spirit and loyalty. Barb Page 74 The Branksome Slogan MacGregor Clan — Our Race is RoyaF ' MacGregors, this is the end In our poster Man and his Of a very successful year. World To you I ' d like to send Our efforts were rewarded Best wishes loud and clear. We managed to come third And we really could afford it. The gathering of the Clans Was a very eventful time. To help us with our plans, MacGregors did just fine! All turned out on Indian Day It was heap big fun, eh squaws! Games were really fun to play. But now let ' s take a pause. In November you elected Your choice of nominees It was Linda you selected I know she ' ll try to please. We remember the best clan ever I know I ' ll never forget, Our sportsmanship and spirit The best year ever yet! Linda Scott Clan - Amo Probos The clan system has undergone varied changes this year . . . You might say this past year has been an experimental year, you might also say . . . it has been a success. All you girls on the Scott clan certainly contributed your share to the success of our new clan system. The year began with the traditional Gathering of the Clans, and due to great enthusiasm and attendance the Scott Girls were victorious. We were off to a good start! In October the Scotts invaded the pool for the first Clan Swim Gathering. Again great enthusiasm was displayed and fun was had by all. Oh ... by the way ... we placed in the top eight. At the end of October our two basketball teams were chosen and be- tween them they played their two games! Oh well ... we have spirit!! November was a very good month for the Scott Clan. We won the first poster competition entitled Man and His World, with special thanks going to Sue Dewar for displaying her artistic ability. Also the elections were held for sub-clan chieftain. The voting was very close between Joanne Baxter, Judy Crawford and Barb Shelly, so close in fact that a tie occurred between Joanne and Judy. As a result the clan will have two chieftains next year. With such leadership, next year will be a very good year. I must not leave unmentioned such activities as Heap Big Indian Day and the Variety Show (how can you ever forget). Group efforts such as these will never be forgotten, thus, for me, this was a very memorable year. Scotts, keep up the enthusiasm . . . you have been a great group to work with.

Following the thrilling game against St. Clement ' s, Brank- some managed to defeat them, 29 to 23. Although we were able to prevent B.S.S. and St. Mildred ' s from winning, our toughest oppon- ent was Havergal. They finally emerged as the winners of the game and the Round Robin, leav- ing Branksome in a very close second place. The team would especially like to thank Miss Galloway and our many fans for their strong support. Sandra Bolte Sports Day Wednesday, October 4th was the Junior School ' s first big event. Sports Day. The weather could not have been more pleasant for this competition. The events were well organized and ran smoothly under the capable supervision of Miss Galloway. This year, as usual, the competition was very keen. Spec- tators from each clan were seated beside the track rooting for their clan members and comrades par- ticipating in the activities. Miss Johnston presented the rib- bons and Mrs. Dowie was score keeper. The clans were very close, Robertson with a total of sixty points was first. Grant second with fifty-one points, and Bruce third with forty-five points. Sandra Bolte was the Junior Champion with a total of fourteen points and Lily Pos was runner-up with nine points.

The spectators welcomed back such old favorites as Eve Martin, Sally Hill and Martha McDonic and cheered them on as they played a rousing game of bas- ketball. Amid creaking bones and groaning muscles could be heard the cheers of 1 1 A who provided the game with some colour. Try as they might, the old girls could not de- feat Branksome ' s ever-victorious first and second teams and the final score was 52 to 19. Thanks go to all the old girls who put up a terrific fight!!! Sue Powell Junior Choir When you hear the angelic voices of the Junior Choir fill St. Andrew ' s Church at the annual Carol Service, it is hard to believe that these sixty to seventy girls are the same group that meet every Thursday afternoon in the Choir Room. This transformation is due to the cap- able leadership of Mrs. Coutts. After Christmas, the girls begin practising for the Spring Concert in April. Much credit must go to the mem- bers for their faithful attendance and work, although we admit it was a lot of fun too. Jane Dickenson, President J. Parker, Secretary-Treasurer.

It also seems that he longed to escape, to become part of that swinging world outside: he wanted to fly. So his kindly (but square) father showed him how to make wings out of feathers and wax, and how to flap his arms convincingly. Icarus was turned on. When Drop-Out-Of-Prison-Day arrived, Icarus ' dad warned him about flying too close to or Sol and the disaster lurking therein. Icarus promised to keep his cool, and took off. Was it ever great up there! Going around bumping into strange birds; dipping and soaring whenever he wanted; nobody telling him whatto do; digging that grubby old prison far, far below . . . Icarus felt positively free! Free enough to try for the sun, in fact. He felt he was old enough, mature enough and strong, enough to fly higher than anyone else ever had. So up he went, up into the hot sun. Disaster lurked therein. The wax on his arms started to melt, and, one by one, the feathers dropped out. And soon after, so did Icarus . . . rightoutof sight. Flapping all the way down. Moral: when you think it ' s time to assert your independence, just make sure that your judgement is developed well enough to with- stand a lot of heat. Make good and sure. It ' s the only way to fly. National Trust SINCE 1898 Page 112 The Branksome Slogan L IIFE ' S GREATEST BLESSINGS Good health and good sense are often referred to as life ' s greatest blessings. The degree of health and sense enjoyed is largely dependent upon the individual. The mind can be improved through application. Health is influenced by habits such as adequate sleep, balanced diet, and regular exercise. Only with good health and good sense can the full ness of life be enjoyed. A vigilant guardian of health is your physician. He stands ready to serve day or night. We stand ready to compound your prescriptions whenever medicine is prescribed. M. R. OSBORNE LTD. 264 BLOOR ST.
