You are being oppressed, repressed, discriminated against, turned into second class citizens, by a world of purblind greybeards who, never having been young, understand nothing of the glorious ideals of youth; who care not, as youth cares, for the dispossessed; who in their headlong pursuit of crass and materialistic goals are surely destroying the soul of the world. Nothing is worth saving, therefore protest, protest, protest but don ' t work. The generation of workers owes you a living — see that you get it! The mess is no fault of yours, you weren ' t allowed to have a hand in it but by concerted effort you can make it worse. If you P fi n Ci P a 1 S LottOt conscience stirring, drug it so that you won ' t feel the pricks. I would like to present a very differ- ent message: There is one earth to inherit; make the most of it. Never has youth had so many advan- tages. In a most favoured land, of all, you are most favoured. You have never known want, you have never seen war, you have never lived in terror, never have you faced national disaster. Will you not admit that your greybeards haven ' t done too badly by you and that It is now up to you to prepare yourselves in every way possible to accept the responsibilities which will come to you? By all means pro- test the wrongs which are lamentably evident but seek at the same time their solution. By all means keep your ideals but do not let them blind you to reality. By all means enjoy your leisure but remember that this nation was built by generations of doers and that by con- tinuing to do we may yet become great. I have the utmost faith in the youth of to-day. I believe that you surpass in knowledge and concern your precursors whom I have known in thirty-five years of teaching. Now I wish for you that your knowledge may lead you to discernment and wise decision and that your concern may develop into an honest commitment to the service of your fellow man. Give that service happily, wholeheartedly, remem- bering that deeds without joy bring no delight and in some distant future a generation may sing your praise in a brave new world which we can only imagine but toward which we must do more than yearn. Yours hopefully, Year Book, 1969 Page 5 MARGARET R. SIME, B.A. — PRINCIPAL P g 6 The Branksome Slogan ( The Gift That lasts - For Your Dauper at Graduation — A LIFE MEMBERSHIP m the BRANKSOME HALL ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION Year Book, 1969 Page 7 EDITORIAL As generation upon generation climbs higher on the scale of success and pleasure, as giants of our age aspire to reach the farthest stars, even we, small giants though we may be, are contributing to the mystic future, and building the highest mountains ever imagined. When we were young, when imaginations ran wild, we began to germinate a seed of ideal which, steadily through careful breeding and guidance by our elders, has hopefully grown to be a glowing chance for the future. Coincidental with this blossoming wisdom grew a very great power — namely, enthusiasm — which produced a strength for a maturing ideal. Without it, where would imagination have begun? And, hence, how stag- nant would our society and evolution be? Progressively, then, an indi- vidual ' s and group ' s enthusiasm must grow in proportion with a maturing outlook, and development of it proves an enlightment to those possessing and to those witnessing it. A group of parents, a group of teachers, none can be prouder than to produce a school of enthusiastic young people. Such a gathering is marked by many remarkable qualities — by a distinctive camaraderie and unity among its members, by a willingness to do what is expected, conversely, by an insight which leads to anticipating what needs to be done, and importantly, by a tendency to accomplish what is distasteful or what is beneficial to others. Significantly and thankfully, Branksome envelopes just such young ladies who inspire all others who come in contact with them. Enthusiasm, remarkably, in all its splendour is not a unique character- istic inherited by the few, but is, in the words of an old adage, as catching as wildfire . Important to remember is that enthusiasm does not neces- sarily entail a loud, cheerful shout, or a piercing laugh, but that is em- bodied often more deeply in the calm, mild, introspective person who quietly works toward an undistinguished but satisfying achievement. Never shirk from the shy, retiring type, for he may inspire greater enthu- siasm than the cheerful basketball player. In everyday circumstances, enthusiasm is like the weakening mortar which binds together a wall; for, in spite of alarmists decrying the gener- ation gap, it is a common bond between parent and child which can lessen the chasm and crumble the barrier. Enthusiasm for the future is a com- mon development of young and old. For the old it is hope and faith in the younger people to carry on; for the young, it is the inspiration needed to produce that mature wisdom. Although the ideal may not, as yet, be apparent, the quality and quantity of enthusiasm pertain importantly to the inevitable conclusion, or rather, to the commencement of an ever- brightening future. Per ardua ad astra. Elizabeth M. Dechert, Editor. Page 8 The Branksome Slogan SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES IN THE RESIDENCE The Nigerian-Biafran problem was objectively and forceably brought to our attention by a Biaf- ran student, studying in Toronto; one of Toronto ' s leading business men, who is the head of a chain- food-store, presented the claims of Christ; a Medi- cal Health Officer, spoke of her work as a Doctor; a gentleman from India, who suffered the loss of three members of his family in the stampede of 1955, spoke of his faith in Christ; a Minister, from a down-town church serving in a needy part of Toronto, presented a relevant Christianity; a film showing the eccentricities of an electric eel also provided material for Dr. Irwin Moon to relate God ' s creation to life in 1968; the sensitive pre- sentation of Charlie Brown ' s Christmas , to- gether with piano, guitar, recorder selections, and carol singing, have all made their offering to the warp and woof of the Sunday evening services at Branksome. Year Book, 1969 Page 9 HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE The ' Slogan is a great tribute to the school year. For me, when I open its covers in future years, I will have fond memories of a school which has given me not only an education but an insight into the meaning of sportsmanship, enthu- siasm, and citizenship. Some of you may say: These things aren ' t taught at Branksome, I didn ' t have one class in citizenship. Then you ' re right, these attributes are not taught as sub- jects in the classroom, but they are there for the taking. Think of this saying: You only get from school what you put into it. In other words, your efforts determine the benefits you will receive from your stay at Branksome. It would be great if everyone could work together with the loyal enthusiasm of the prefects and subs. I feel that I couldn ' t have had a better group to work with, and I think their efforts were well-rewarded by the support shown by the school. Miss Perry-Gore and Marilyn directed a varied and interesting sports program which led to a basket- ball championship, and I ' m sure will lead to more top honours in the remaining school year. The Opheleo Society with Marg Ann ' s apt guid- ance raised more money than ever before for needy causes, and Caroline, along with the Beta Kappa kept Branksome swinging with our more than successful dances. The hard work of Liz Dechert and other editors is displayed in this book, and I ' m sure you all agree that the means justify the end. So, with gratitude, I extend my thanks to the staff, the prefects and subs, and most of all to you, the students, for a most memorable year. I hope you all will realize that a place like Branksome deserves your very st.

Armour, M. A. Marchant, J. Fearon, R. Robertson, E. Dechert, B. Ball. Front Row: C. Bundy, B. Pattison (head girl), Miss Sime, M. Jarvis, B. Scandrett. October 4, 1968. It is a special day in the school year. It is the day of the Installation of the Prefects. Girls sit bolt upright; poise their teeth, crane their heads forward to catch the import of the speeches. Miss Sime and Miss Claxton deftly deliver their words of wisdom on the history of the school. The clan chieftains are then formally installed. These girls: Drope, Dinnick, Gartha, Steinhoff, McCabe, Buckley, Turner and Crawford, accept their rigorous responsibilities as the leaders of the school sports program (otherwise known as the Branksome reducing scheme), under the direction and guidance of Marilyn Jarvis. The prefects and sub-prefects are presently installed with a concise comment on the character of each candidate. Barbara Pattison assumes her role as head girl after exchanging vows Year Book, 1969 Page 11 with last year ' s leader Patsy Cross. The school flags, representing the corner stones of Branksome — truth, honesty, justice and purity are handed over to the new leaders. Next with wit, wisdom and dash. Dr. McGibbon, vice-president of the Women ' s College Hospital, spoke about woman ' s role in society (a sub- ject which is of great interest at Branksome). Woman must emerge from her fragile chrysalis. She must assiduously assert herself to realize her full potential. (Author ' s note: Unfortunately this is a misquote, since the text of Dr. McGibbon ' s speech is unavailable. Hopefully, however, this is the gist of the argument. ) As anticipated. Dr. McGibbon ' s words did not fall on stoney ground, hard concrete or deaf ears. In fact, her ideas were fully discussed after the service. Then the dignitaries retired from the chapel. In the minds of the girls, it is believed, there was a refurbishing of pride in the school and a feeling of confidence in the new school leaders. Ann Wilton SUB PREFECTS Back Row (left to right): L.

As the time approaches when you will be leaving Branksome and look- ing forward to the exciting plans for your future, I hope you will also take time to look back and remember all the happy times and good friendships you have had here. We hope you will want to preserve them by becoming members of the Alumnae Association, thus keeping in touch with old friends and participating in some of our activities for Branksome. Last January the Alumnae held a dinner dance at Rosedale Golf Club for Members of the Alumnae, Parents, and Friends of the school. It was a particularly good party, and while at the time of writing, it is too soon to know the exact amount, we anticipate that the Dance will realize somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1000 to be used for the benefit of Branksome and her students. We were a little disappointed, however, that more girls were not present from the graduating classes of the last 2 or 3 years. From this we can only conclude that perhaps a Dinner Dance is not the sort of function that the more recent graduates care to attend. I would, therefore, ask you, as representative of the more recent Alumnae, to let us know what sort of function you would most enjoy participating in; after all, it is now your Alumnae too, and we are most anxious to make it meaningful for everyone. As the Slogan goes to press, the Alumnae Executive has refurbished, and replaced where necessary, the Clan banners, and is making plans for a ceremony to retire the original school flag of 30 years ago and to replace it with a new one. It is our hope that the first Head Girl to carry the Branksome flag will be able to be present to hand over the new flag to this year ' s Head Girl. The old flag has been a focal point at all Branksome ceremonies and by replacing it now, the continuation of this tradition will be assured for many more years to come. For each of you, and for Branksome Hall as well, the years ahead prom- ise to be very exciting and progressive ones. It is our hope that they will also bring much happiness.

ODE TO A DRIP or A REFLECTION UPON MANAGEMENT My English teacher ' s trying hard to get her point across, I give my concentration, but my mind is at a loss, I try to listen carefully, but hopelessly I fail, ' Cause the water from the ceiling cracked is dripping to the paiL I ' m trying hard, I ' m trying hard, I ' m really, really trying hard, And though men come and though men go, to try to fix the leak, The torturing continues and my mind is getting frail; The water still is dripping from the ceiling to the pail.

Scott, Gentle of speech, But absolute of rule. Barb ' s five years at Branksome have given her school a tremendous sports enthusiast, an expert team member, a brilliant play director and most important — an inspiring Head Girl. Activities: cl?n-ch:eftain (Scott), clan and school teams, swim team, choir. LINDEN ARMOUR (1964-1969). Ross. People . , . People who need people. This sums up Lindy. Her warmth comes not only from her smile but from her heart. She spends most of her time pulling Lindens, but we love her anyway. Activities: Junior School Slogan Representative, choir member, past president of the United Nations Club. BARBARA BALL (1966-1959). Douglas. Books. ' Tis a dull and endless strife. Like . . . uh, in her three years at Branksome, Barb has participated in all facets of school life. Her warm smile has lightened many a class. A.s a nurse, she ' ll make someone ' s early morning needle very pleasant. Activities: Head Librarian, past 12A President. CYNTHIA BUNDY (1964-1969). Ross. Good things come in small packages. Cindy ' s bubbly personality and enthusiastic spirit have brightened the halls of Branksome for 5 great years. Her quick mind and lively countenance have helped to cheer on our Branksome teams. Activities: Class and clan sports, past clan chieftam (Ross), Mini Mouse, Eaton ' s Rep. and Art and Photography Director. ELIZABETH DECHERT (1959-1969). Douglas. If music be the food of love, play on. Academically and enthusiastically. Liz has chal- lenged all Branksome ' s sports, clubs, and classes. As she reorganized the choir library last year, so she handles the Slogan as Editor-in-Chief this year. As Liz leaves these hallowed halls to begin her future as an opera star majoring in Architec- ture, we all pause and say, Will wonders ever cease? JUDITH FEARON (1955-1969). Campbell. Hey Jude — Don ' t be afraid ... true humility the highest virtue — mother . of them all. Judie is a perfect balance between romance and practicability. But besides that, she is funny — Qui Madame, mon pere est vraiment un ascen- seur! Activities: class activities and this year our enthusiastic advertising editor. ELIZABETH FLAVELLE (1963-1969). Douglas. And now abideth Faith. . . . In all things Liz is Faithful. A true Branksomite from the start, she ' s put her talents to sports, drama, debating, choir, work on the Slogan, and U.N. (she headed the delegation last year). With such enthusiasm, Liz will meet the challenge of tomorrow and bring sunshine to a gloomy job MARILYN JARVIS (1964-1969). Campbell. Notning great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Enthusiastic, certainly is an apt word to describe Jarv. The success of Branksome ' s sports program can be attributed to our sport ' s captain ' s natural friendliness and outgoing personality. Activities: Sports captain, school teams, past clan chieftain. PREFECTS MARGARET ANN MARCHANT (1963-1969). MacAlpine. A quiet voice and Cheering smile. But enthusiasm and resourcefulness are Margy ' s claims to fame. She ' s a familiar face in every club, at every game (she loves to cheer the loudest), and she ' s been a success as head of the choir and Opheleo Society. Most of all, she ' s always there in time of crises. ROSEMARY ROBERTSON (1967-1969). MacAlpine. Weave a smile to catch a smile for laughter catcheth laughter. Rosie is an active participator in all school sports and is a member of the Debating society and is Head of the Slogan publicity committee. With her cheerful and happy-go-lucky nature she can always be depended upon to liven things up. BARBARA SCANDRETT (1964-1969). McLean. Branksome, Branksome, Rah! Rah! Barb has always participated with enthusiasm in all phases of school life and has shown that she is a true Branksomite. This year she even started her own basketball official ' s school and I think for her work and enthusiasm she deserves a gold star . Activities: sports editor of Slogan, past president of 11A, basketball, volleyball, oaseball, and past clan chieftain. CAROLINE VON OTTER (1959-1969). McLeod. Happiness is ... a smile to show it. Caroline always has time to cheer others with her happiness and support Branksome with con- tagious enthusiasm. Her smiling personality will definitely win her success wherever she goes. Activities: President of Beta Kappa, first basket- ball team and past McLeod chieftain. SUB-PREFECTS IRENE DUERDOTH (1960-1969). Campbell. Those were the days my friend is Irene ' s famous philosophy. Vitality and an amusing chuckle is Irene ' s trade mark. Her happy smile is seen on both basketball and volleyball courts. Her creative artistry has led her to the Vice- Presidency of our Beta Kappa Society. Keep singing Irene, we love you! EMILY FODOR (19 -1969). MacAlpine. When Emily first entered Branksome, she was deter- mined to do well in all things. This year she became a sub-prefect as well as a member of the Opheleo Society. In sports she enjoys tennis, basketball, and skiing. As her future occupation, Emily plans to be a nurse. AINSLEE GURD (1963-1969). McLeod. A rose, a bottle of Strawberry wine and Bubbles away, Ooh la la heaven. Ainslee has haunted the Hallowed Halls of Brank- some and has been active in swimming, U.N., class, clan sports and the advertising committee for the Slogan. She plans to help under-privileged children and knowing Ains ' generous personality she will succeed. SUSAN OSLER (1966-1969). Campbell. I try to be a scholar, but cheerfulness is always breaking in. During Sue ' s three years as a Branksomite, she has eagerly participated in debating, choir, U.N.. and class and clan sports. Her beautiful smile and her own special humour have enlivened many a history (and latin!) class. Best of luck at Pad- worth, England, next year! Page 24 The Branksome Slogan SUB-PREFECTS GAIL PELLY (1964-1969). MacAlpine. A Horse, A Horse my Kingdom for a Horse, is Gail ' s personal motto. Squirt is active in class, clan and swimming activities and also the advertising committee. Next year Gail plans to enter nursing and because of her well-rounded personality she will succeed in ail she does. SUSAN POWELL (1966-1969}. McLeod. I laugh at the world, and the world laughs at me. Powlie ' s natural enthusiasm and good nature have livened Branksome ' s halls for three years. We ' ll all miss Maxi ' s bright smile and floppy ears. Activities: Maxi Mouse (of course), past vice of U.N., Simpson ' s Rep., Vice-President of Opheleo, President of 13E. JANE RABB (1967-1969). Scott. Our stooge of a sub-prefect from Montreal has given much in her 2 years at Branksome. Jane has been active in Scott clan activities, has held class office, given support to the debating club and spent much time splashing in the pool. Her greatest contribution however has been the outlandish behavior we ' ll never forget. CATHI RANKIN (1967-1969). Ross. That virtue was sufficient of herself for happiness. Cathi came to Branksome from Vancouver, and immediately became a part of everything. She has a reputation for being quite gullible but this is because of her great trust in people. She ' s Literary Editor and an infallible member of school, class, and clan sports. SARAH STARK (1966-1969). McLean. Berkeley, our one and only yankee sub-prefect has contri- buted much during her three years at Branksome. She has been a participant in the U.N. Club, along with holding class offices — 12 B ' s class presi- dent, 13 P ' s sports captain. Berkeley ' s warm personality will always be remembered at Branksome. RUTH TOW (1953-1969). McLeod. Then had ' st thou an excellent head of hair. Although Ruth can ' t see an inch in front of her face, she always manages to keep in the centre of school affairs. Her enthusiasm has aided Ruthless Toothless in her duties as Vice-Presi- dent of the Choir and Secretary-Treasurer of the Opheleo. LINDA WALLACE (1965-1969). MacGregor. Discourse the sweeter banquet of the mind. Linda is famous for arrivederce and her unique Wallace laugh. Her qualities of leadership and spirit have penetrated Branksome since she came in Grade 10. Her spicy spirits will aid greatly in her plans to be a nurse. Activities: Slogan sport ' s committee; Former MacGregor Chieftain; Vice- President of 13E. ROSEMARY WALTER (1965-1969). Douglas. Of pleasures there are many; of worries there are none. Mimi, a weekly boarder, has in her four years, been class president for three. She has partici- pated in class and clan sports, U.N., and the Beta Kappa. Mimi is a good all-round girl who always smiles. Keep it up, and good luck in the future! 1969 SUB-PREFECTS JULIE WILDGOOSE (1966-1969). McLean. Enthu- siasm moves the world. Julie is enthusiasm personified.

A horse, a dog and Pierre II. Liz has taken part in class and clan sports, swimming, class plays and the advertising com- mittee.

Her normal pastime is taking one foot out of her mouth and putting the other in. Her ambition is to finish her rug. Next year she ' s off to Switzerland. RHONWYN BREEN (1963-1969). Ross. Confusion is her middle name. Rhonnie ' s artistic talent contributes greatly to class, clan and Slogan committees. Her happy- go-lucky attitude and carefree cheerfulness add much vivacity to life around her. Her conspicuous absence is only paralleled by her subtle humour. MARILYN DUBOIS (1961-1969). MacAlpine. The doormouse is asleep again. A member of the Beta Kappa, and a class and clan participator. Marilyn won recognition in Chemistry for mixing full strength sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, forming poisonous gas! She will be the only doctor using a stepladder to reach the operating table seven years hence. MARILYN DRAPER (1968-1969). Campbell. Marilyn ' s enthusiasm and zest for life make her dynamic. Always cheerful and capable of dis- cussing anything, she is a great participator. Receiving roses and collecting butterflies are two of her various pastimes. A professional student is her probable destiny. MARGARET KELSICK (1968-1969), MacGregor. Margaret travelled, in September from St. Kitts to join us.

Excess in anything is a defect. You never see Debbie without a cup of char in her hand— These English, you know! Her year at Branksome has brought much liveliness and mischief to our class, and that ' s just what we need. She ' s kept busy on the Beta Kappa and Slogan. MOIRA PARKS (1964-1969). McLean.

CATHERINE WILCOX (1968-1969). Scott. Cathy is an innocent and child-like individual who finds snow and Cheshire cats amusing and strange.

Though small, Allie has the biggest heart of all. She is the best kind of friend anyone could have.

Happiness is extracting mercury from Mercury (H) Oxide; Misery is losing it. Happiness is almost writing down a Latin sentence before it is taken up; Misery is being asked for yoLir answer, the very first.

Happiness is a class cake; Misery is realizing that if you are ever going to lose that weight . . . !

Though only a few took the trip to Lakefield for the first dance, most of us attended the Ramabai Rout and really enjoyed ourselves. At our Christmas party we were happy to have Miss Sime and other members of staff. We were especially proud of our Charlie Brown play as half the players were sick and girls had to step in at the last minute. A Christmas party without Santa Claus isn ' t a party so Joan Whiteside donned the suit. We would like to thank Mrs. Aikenhead and Miss Hudson for all their patience with us this year. Penny Cutler Page 40 The Branksome Slogan AINSLIE HOUSE Looking back on the year spent boarding in Ainslie, we think of it as a year that was full of fun and companionship. Many exciting events took place this past year, one of which was the party along with the other houses to Anne of Green Gables. Another event was the Ramabai Rout which everyone agreed was a rousing success. The girls, this year, must have been very popular for they received so many calls that the phone actually fell off the wall. Our Christmas party was a great success with Miss Sime joining in the fun, later in the evening. Our thanks go to Mrs. Waterson for her patience and kindness during this last year. Mary Cameron lOB SHERBORNE REPORT The girls have all had a fantastic year together in Sherb. and we have had a lot of fun in the different experiences we have gone through. There was one night when all the lights had been turned out in the house and the sounding fire alarm caused the entire house to hurry down the stairs in their bare feet and pyjamas; huddling into their little groups outside as Mrs. Hipwell counted them. The alarm went off again and all the girls made a second advance with one girl bringing a magazine to read while the rest were standing waiting for the firemen to return. Then we all sat in the common room, while Mrs. Hipwell played the piano and at 12.00 midnight, we sang Happy Birthday to one of the girls! Then there was the rnorning we woke up and found all our bathroom utilities out of use and we had to file out with our toothbrushes and towels, over to our neighbours, Ainslee and MacNeill. The excitement of the formal is apparent now and with exams over, everyone is back into their regular schedule. We would like to thank Mrs. Hipwell and Mrs. Little for giving us their kind help throughout the year, and we hope to see them in the following year. MacNEILL HOUSE MacNeill House embarked on a ten month cruise in September of 1968. With a riotous friendly crew and an efficient little captain, she battled numerous storms and occasionally was becalmed. One playful wave Year Book, 1969 Page 41 washed the bell overboard but the captain ' s commands fished it out of deep water, thus rescuing the ship and crew from disaster. The switchboard was constantly jammed and every Friday night the waterline was near danger level. Weekends were wild but could never compare to the gambling in the kitchen. The crew was provided with many enjoyable diversions some of which were Tosca, the Royal Winter Fair, Anne of Green Gables and Segovia. The mattress pranks and the teaspoon tales will be told for years to come, not to mention the stowaway prefects and subs. The devotions of the Sports Captain and the fluttering flattering lashes of S.P.G. are in the logbook without doubt. The skipper was hostess to Rudolph Rabb and Santa Rosie at the Christmas fling, where enjoyable rations were meted out to all. The Good Ship MacNeill is nearing its final port of call, without many outbursts of mutiny and scurvy. The waves are slowing and the ship will stop going, but this crew will never stop sailing. Marilyn Draper, Allison Wadge SHERBORNE REP. ' S REPORT Hi! Everyone: Thank you very much for the wonderful time I have had here at Branksome. It has been a great experience and I have been learning something new every day. When I was asked if I should like to come over here — I just couldn ' t believe my ears — to me Canada was another world where Eskimoes lived in igloos (I haven ' t seen one yet!! ) and where you ate seal blubber. I arrived here a couple of days before school began and was glad to see that you are, in fact, like us — the other side of the ocean — you look like us, v ork like us, eat like us and talk — well, nearly like us. I have had to learn quite a number of new words and phrases as well as trying to teach you all to talk English !!! I thought I would never live through a Canadian winter, but here I am — still alive. I am now back to England to find myself a job. I haven ' t in fact, any fixed abode as I shall be living in Jerusalem and in England but if you are in either of these parts, don ' t hesitate to come and visit me. I can offer you sea, sun, palm trees and swimming all day or the beautiful English weather (we don ' t always have fog and rain! ) Thank you to you all, for the super year — Miss Sime, Mrs. Anderson, the Staff, girls, all MacNeill and last but not least, Jane (my roommate) — and I hope to see some of you if not all, soon. Ann Page 42 The Branksome Slogan UNITED NATIONS CLUB REPORT The United Nations Club is a charity organization through which we, the executive try to make the girls more aware of the great need for educational, religious and medical aid in some of the poorer parts of our world. To accomplish this we introduce them a little more thoroughly to some of the associations that give universal assistance — UNICEF , MYSORE , UNESCO , CARE , Save the Children Fund and others. We feel, only through making them aware can they appreciate the existence of the United Nations Club. When Ann, Sue and I became the new executive, we caught infectious hepathusiasm ; our goal was to inject the germs of our disease into each of the one hundred and thirty members. The support in all our activities showed the girls to be as enthusiastic as we were. A vote taken vetoed the traditional UN luncheon in favour of a volley- ball game against Upper Canada College. Our prefects put on an excellent exhibition but the Stewards downed them by one point. We raised over one hundred dollars which went towards the adoption of a seven-year-old boy from Vietnam. The girls again showed their concern for helping others by responding eagerly to the selling of UNICEF Christmas cards, the selling of My- sore pens and participation in the UN Tag Day. I only hope next year ' s executive will have a group as enthusiastic as this year ' s! Karen Keir UNITED NATIONS DELEGATION REPORT In the midst of a hectic week of exams our annual Model Assembly was held at Convocation Hall. Though Malaysia, the country we represent this year, did not have a large representative delegation the girls that did go enjoyed themselves, learned a lot, and, I think, made a few new friends . . . In the Plenary Session of the opening night, the Middle East question was discussed. After much debate from furious delegates, the resolution submitted by Sweden and Rumania was accepted. The next two days fol- lowed with smaller groups of different committees with different prob- lems, each related in some way to the Israel-Arabia crisis. The closing events were followed by a great dance which was very successful. Even though our main event of the year has passed, we will continue to go to Convocation Hall on Sundays to try within the limits of youth, to sort out some of the many international problems of today. Year Book, 1969 Page 43 THE CAROL SERVICE Once again the Christmas spirt was ushered in by our annual Carol Services, as Branksomites ' parents and friends gathered together in Saint Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church. The first part of the service was sung by the Junior School, their choice of carols centred around Hear Ye News Today. The Junior Choir then followed, directed by Mrs. Coutts. The Senior choir then sang a group of carols with the theme On This Day Christ is Born. The Senior School finished the service with a selec- tion of particularly lively carols to celebrate Christmas Morning. Mrs. Coutts once again did a marvelous job directing both the Junior and Senior school, as well as the two choirs. The school is deeply indebted to her for her excellent direction and patience with us all. THE SENIOR CHOIR, 1968-1969 In looking back over the choir year, I remember best what non-choir members never experience: those very important choir meetings in the music room at five past three. We could never forget creating our first versions of Christmas carols under the direction of a patient Mrs. Coutts sitting on her too-low, brown stool. Even more memorable was starting our spring music before a less secure Mrs. Coutts sitting on her too-high blue, yellow, and green stool. Each practice was marked with much, per- haps too much, talking and laughter as we worked together towards our two main goals: the Christmas service in the beautiful St. Andrews Church, and the Spring Concert in the beautiful Branksome gym. This year was our forty-third carol service, an annual event in which SENIOR CHOIR Page 44 The Branksome Slogan every member of Branksome takes an important and equal part. The Choir people spent the first half of the service at the back of the Church in shivering anticipation of our moment of recognition when we would walk down the aisle and take our places on the steps. Our repertoire of Christmas music included a solo by Barb Pattison, Liz Dechert, Alison Greenaway, and Lesley Bradford. Perhaps one of the highlights of the concert for a few people was the amazing spectacle of seventy-two more people filing into the chancel. Now, in January, we are preparing for our spring concert consisting of a varied selection of seasonable songs by the senior choir, and presenta- tions by the junior choir, the madrigals, and the nine and ten group. We could never find words to show Mrs. Coutts our appreciation for her dedication and perseverance in such a demanding position. Thank you. We also thank Mrs. Cook for all her time and effort as our marvelous accompanyist I, personally, wish to thank the executive for their endless willingness to help, and their great contribution to the choir year. They are: Vice- President, Alison Greenaway; Secretary-Treasurer, Clayton Stuart; Head Librarian, Sheila Scott; Committee, Cathie Paterson, Valerie Railing, Barb Cross, Marjorie Tow, Cathy Stuart, Kathy Schrump. Thank you, choir for such a happy, successful year. I wish the best of luck to future members and executives. Carolyn Brown, President RESOLVED: DEBATING IS AS MUCH FUN AS BASKETBALL Controversy is the essence of debating, and has, thus, been our aim. We have encouraged differences of opinion, given them a place for expression, and then appraised their head-on collision. When Miss Forsyth made the statement Satan is the biggest counterfeit ever known she was likely unaware of the consequence. For within two weeks the Debating Society discussed it, disputed it, denounced it, and, with the combined efforts of Susan Harvey, Sheila Mclntyre, and Debbie Hutchins, defeated it. Not even the brilliant sin interpretations of Lisa Hawley, Barbara McKee and Karen Keir were sufficient to combat this powerful team as they revealed Satan in his truest form. Miss Forsyth is said to still chant this statement with all her original conviction (which only goes to prove that debating is not yet a hundred per cent effective at Branksome). Similarly, an anonymous member of 12A once blithely com- mented that women want male domination. The Debating Society, hungry for controversy, seized this idea, eventually proving it untrue. In the same way the prefect system underwent severe scrutiny when it was proposed Year Book, 1969 Page 45 that Prefects should be seen and not heard. With their right to speak threatened Uke this. Barb Pattison rallied the Prefects into vocal battle, knowing it might be their last chance. Further debating spirit has been stimulated by external forces such as Ridley, UTS, UCC, and TCS. So far this year Branksome remains unde- feated in oral battle, with ambitious preparations underway for future conquests. By making this Society the after-school centre for intellectuals, scholars, even the typical girl in the hall, we have tried to make debating as much fun as basketball. Whether or not we have succeeded is debatable. TEAM — Cathy Gartha, Susan Harvey, Lisa Hawley, Debbie Hutchins, Patty McCabe, Sheila Mclntyre, Linda McQuaig, Candace Tonge, Ruth Tow, Anne Wilton.

STRATFORD REPORT When the bus left Branksome Hall From the beginning it was song, The music blazed a trail As we merrily travelled on. We reached Stratford towards noon And scattered in all directions, Drooling over hot-dogs We related various inspections. In the interest of culture and art A tapestry gallery was toured. While others, more socially inclined By male students were skilfully lured. Romeo and Juliet was captivating Both hatred and love took a turn. Especially from the star-crossed lovers A lesson we all must learn. The dinner at the Church was delicious The driver (alone in the corner) thought so too, We wished we could stay longer and eat more. But our thanks and departure were due. With lingering thoughts of Romeo And rejuvenated by ice-cream cones on the way. We broke into tumultuous chorus once more, In fact, Maxi and Mini were created that day. Cathi and Judie Page 46 The Branksome Slogan PANDITA RAMABAI The first campaign of the Opheleo Committee was to raise money during our Ramabai Week. By the means of numerous food festivals, bake and novelty sales, the prefect auction, the teacher ' s relay race, the Junior school ' s free will contribution of one hundred and sixty dollars and the dance, we raised one thousand, four hundred and twenty-two dollars. The climax of this week was the Ramabai Rout which was the joint effort of the Opheleo and Beta Kappa Committees. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Caroline and her committee and the pre- fects for all their support and willingness during this week. There was not a prize this year because we felt every class and every girl shared in the prize of reaching such a total. Thank you all very much and Con- gratulations. This year we sent donations to four former Branksome girls, Mrs. Doris Greene, Miss Ruth Thomson, Miss Edith Thomson, and Mrs. Patricia MacCarthy, the Ramabai Mukti Mission, the Ludhiana Hospital, the Bible and Medical Missionary Fellowship, Biafra and our own United Appeal. One of our Christmas projects was to send Christmas Cards to the Ramabai Mukti Mission. We sent over two hundred cards along with some ribbon and balloons for the children. Another project was the col- lection of toys for Little Trinity Anglican Church. These toys are repaired and then sold at a very low price or given to the poorer people of Toronto as Christmas gifts for their children. Again this year a group of girls helped to wrap Christmas gifts for the mentally ill patients in Ontario. As the Slogan goes to press we are preparing for our next big endea- vour, the Lenten Collection which is purely voluntary giving. The society wishes to express its gratitude to all the staff members who helped and guided us this year and especially to Miss Forsyth. To all the girls on the committee and in the school who remembered throughout the year the meaning of Opheleo I serve — Thank you.

We ' d made the collection of a very good sum, But to finish it all with a bang and a boom, The Shambulls we invited for a rout in our gym room. Determined the fourth and the fifth best ever to be, We created the theme of Ice Odyssey, Tinsell and silver, metal and ice Proved it a dance, a dance with some spice. And now Miss Sime ' s formal with Spirit we greet, Hoping it a challenge for other years to meet. So long and thank you now we say As we dance along our merry way! OLD The clock on the mantlepiece struck three. She sat in her rocking-chair by the window trying to ignore the constant ticking and now the booming outburst, but the tremulous sounds pierced her mind and traced their invisible pattern. She was old. Slouched over her knitting, almost bent double, peering at the tiny, even pink stitches, little of her face was visible. It defied the slanting afternoon sun. Even now, the shaky, worn glow on her white, crinkled hair was being replaced by dark blotches of shade. For a moment, her eyes lifted from her work, and stared dully ahead. But she saw nothing, heard only the monotonous ticking. The sunbeams, glorious for freedom, flooded her visage and danced over it. Her eyes, probably once bright and laughing, were now dull and listless hiding furtively behind thick, brown spectacles. Her brown face, traced with wrinkles, resembled a plain streaked by rivulets. Then she noticed two young children, a boy and a girl, playing in the sandbox in the yard next-door. They were sifting sand through cupped hands. Slowly it trickled back into the sandbox, into the other end of the hourglass. The clock ticked. She gazed at their flushed, chubby upturned faces and their bright clothes soiled with evidence of their play. She looked at her own dress, her very best, which she had dutifully, almost subconsciously, darned every day as if she were waiting for something, expecting something. She was tired. The pink stitches swam before her eyes. She tipped her head to the back of the rocking-chair and fell asleep but the clock continued to tick. Cathy Gartha 12A THE LIBRARY . . something old . . . something new, something borrowed . . . something overdue The Branksome library had some ' face-Hfting ' done over the summer and began this school year with a rejuvenated appearance — thanks to the excellent surgery of Mrs. Collins. Not only have the tables been rearranged and a magazine rack, study carrel and librarian ' s desk been added, but the books and the catalogue system too, have been completely reorganized and brought up to date. The Library Committee can verify the fact that hundreds of new books joined the old favourites on the shelves this year; they know — they ' re the ones who covered, pocketed and catalogued them. You all (N.B. grades nine and ten), must come up some time and really look around. The present from last year ' s graduating class — two books photographically depicting Canada — merits special attention. You ' ll find them in the new ' Canadiana ' section of the library, which contains as well, many other enlightening volumes about our distinctive country and countrymen — past and present. Then you might have a look at . . . well, you ' ll have to come up and discover for yourselves the new arrivals in ' The Room ' . A big thank-you to: the Branksome girls who used the library and its books properly this year; the slow readers who ' contributed ' the fine money which helped to keep us supplied with new books; and especially the Library Committee and Mrs. Collins who kept everything in shape. Barbara Ball S 50 j je Branksome Slogan In school, In sport, achieving fame; Zealous Branl(somites play the game Year Book, 1969 Page 51 Page 52 The Branksome Slogan Prize Essay NOT WITH A BANG BUT A WHIMPER When T. S. Eliot wrote the Hnes: This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper . He could not have realized what a great impact they would make on the minds of the next generation. He is saying that the world will not finish with a great, glorious flash of fireworks, but that it will slowly peter out out until it dies. The reason for this is that there are not enough people in our world who are heroic, reveal true feelings, or dedicate their lives to a humane cause — people like Celia Copies tone in The Cocktail Party, and Thomas Becket in Murder in the Cathedral. Instead, the world is com- posed of small, insecure beings who realize how inconsequential their lives are — they are not Prince Hamlet or lost violent souls , but only the attendant lord and the hollow men, the stuffed men. In the last twenty years, people have talked increasingly about aliena- tion — the unbridgeable gulf between mind and mind, the impossibility of communication. Yet Eliot, fifty years ago, saw the root of this unrest developing. Through many of his poems, Eliot, once an avant-garde poet, but now joined in his philosophy by the modern generation, reveals the feelings of our lonely world and of the people who hide their true emotions by talking about what others, supposedly, would like to hear: In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo or by preparing a face to meet the faces that you meet . Eliot underlined man ' s consuming loneliness in a way that was utterly new and different, fifty years ago, from what had formerly been written. There is a remarkable difference between the loneliness of Wordsworth ' s, I wandered lonely as a cloud and Eliot ' s, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons . To Wordsworth, one hundred and fifty years ago, a poet, alone on a flower-strewn hillside, could not but be gay, in such a jocund company, but to Eliot, a hundred years later, the world was full of a crowd, a host, not of golden daffodils, but of lonely people; and to us, fifty years since Eliot wrote Prufrock, this vision of each individual ' s isolation and insignificance has become undeniably real. More and more today, this thought is being shown and proven. A group of leaders of the ' now ' era, The Beatles, summarize this lonely feeling in their ballad, Eleanor Rigby: All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong? Where do they all come from? Eliot answered this question long before The Beatles. To find Eliot ' s solution, we must read a litle more fully some of his poetry. ... Suddenly we feel a distinct shock; we study again the Year Book, 1969 Page 53 disturbing passage; we hear similar words echo in the backs of our minds; and then, with surprise, we recognize phrases, even lines, from past litera- ture, that Eliot has ' borrowed ' to emphasize the ironic contrast between the vibrant past and the sterile present. One of the outstanding examples is in The Waste Land: The Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne, Glowed on the marble . . . Who can fail to recognize the obvious allusion to Shakespeare ' s: The barge she sat in like a burnished throne, Burnd on the water . . . What becomes of this woman, the fascinating Cleopatra, when Eliot in- flicts on her what neither withering age nor staling custom could? She becomes, in The Waste Land, artificial and synthetic, a shallow reflection of the beautiful Cleopatra, whom men could not abandon because of her infinite variety ' ' Eliot ' s decriptions of the contrived and static drawing- room scene are contrasted to the alive and splendid extravagance of the barge floating down the Nile. Cleopatra ' s transformation is completed when the woman says: My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me. No real feelings are left — just nerves. In the same way Goldsmith ' s woman who stoops to folly and finds too late that men betray, becomes Eliot ' s typist who also stoops to folly but, when alone, smooths her hair with automatic hand, and puts a record on the gramaphone. She is bored and tired — anything but betrayed. Here again a lovely woman has become an unlovely woman, in- capable of passion or feelings of any kind. The mixed mood, that is the theme of many of Eliot ' s poems and plays, is expressed with particular clarity in his poem. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock; Elliot sees the boredom and the horror and the shams of modern life, but at the same time he shows sympathy for its victims. In Murder in the Cathedral, the Chorus repeats, in the four words Living and party living , Eliot ' s view of the human race; Celia Coplestone, in The Cocktail Party, says much the same thing: They make noises, and think they are talking to each other; They make faces, and think they understand each other. Eliot also reproduces this ' message ' in The Hollow Men, when he writes that we are Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motion . We are too weak and undecided to be violent souls but we Grope together and avoid speech ; we are empty men who will end with the world, Not with a bang but a whimper. BIBLIOGRAPHY IT. S.

When you have read what I have writ, You ' ll clearly see I am no wit, My inspiration is now clear, And so my poem follows here: I can ' t believe it! Put tliat camera down or I ' ll throw this Here I sit, broken-hearted, Can ' t complete the rhyme I ' ve started, All poetic skill has darted From my brain, and when it parted I was left just where I started. And now you see the reason why My praise goes to the men who try, For writing poems is no snap Especially if you have trouble making words rhyme. Dianne Neilson Year Book, 1969 Page 55 THE BOX I stepped into the box. As the doors closed I felt claustrophobia creeping on. I glanced around the stuffy inclosure and found I was alone. The electric bulb shook in its socket and the light slowly faded out. My heart lurched and I felt suddenly nauseous. My hands bled from pounding on the rough sides, And my voice grew hoarse from screaming. I knew there was no use in carrying on with my actions So I settled on the floor and waited. The pressure in my head was beyond control and every Now and then I uttered a scream of pain. For the first time in my life I prayed earnestly to God. I waited, numb with fear, sweat dripping from my Forehead onto my wet, bloodstained shirt. Suddenly my fear ceased and I put my life in the hands Of God.

Page 56 The Branksome Slogan TRIBUTE TO THE DYING DAY Dusk was shedding her diffusing light upon the shore, slowly, ever so slowly, we silently glided, suspended between two fathomless depths. We came closer. Beneath our curved vessel, the water shivered, and then relaxed, allowing us to penetrate her aqueous surface and contemplate the treasures stored underneath. A darting minnow became our guide and led us between great hunks of distorted driftwood and shimmering stretches of rocks and pebbles, smoothed, as glass, carpeted with moss. We brushed the shore — silent and deathly with its wreath of colour, which was reflected, infinitely, inland. The damp, dank smell of rotting leaves enveloped the ground and mixed with the scent of purple-tinged pine needles beneath the trees. An old dead cedar, crookedly erect, draped its black, lace-hung arms over the water ' s edge. At the tip of the tallest tree, the sun perched as a glowing red ember — a remnant of the day ' s dying light. The fine streaks of cloud, once white, now reflected the coral hues, creating in the sky, waves of colour. The bare trees, etched black against the universe, framed the evening star — a diamond renewing the sun ' s vigil over the world. Barbara Ball— BP Life After Death Birth I want to live the life Life I want to live the people People I want to save from death Death I want to exchange for life Life I want to go on living Living I want to do, after death.

When a bud, it ' s small and meek But beautiful in hue; Then it begins to open up And start a life anew. The petals spread out like a wing Hiding what ' s inside. We long to know the mystery If in us it would confide. We wait and watch it open Taking a long time to unfold. Each velvet petal reaches out And life it tries to hold. Alas, its plight is hopeless, Its final goal not reached; But because of this one thing alone It should not be impeached. The rose it had ambition. Though it did not attain What it had started out for. Ere it died, it hoped in vain. But if the rose had not had this And stayed a bud all through, What good would it be for anyone With its beauty covered too? The rose represents a person, A bud, when she is small; The petals — her personality That she gives out to all. She too, must have a final goal That she places in the skies. And for her life, she reaches out Until the day she dies!

Sarah Sheard IIB Year Book, 1969 Page 61 IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL Some say that gleams of a remoter world visit the soul in sleep ... — Shelley From the beginning of time, man has pondered over the question of after-Hfe. Since it is possible to temporarily suspend one ' s thought from the state of body-consciousness, man may logically conclude that there is an element in his composition which may escape from his body, and flourish in an awareness or life of its own. Such is our conception of the soul. This reasoning is well-founded. Man is capable of disengaging his mental activity from his body-consciousness. For example, man may awake from a sleep, and vaguely recall the wanderings of his mind. While he was dreaming, his body was totally unaware of its environment, and yet some form of him existed in another world, i.e. his dreams. So too, the body may be rendered unconscious by an anaesthetic, for an operation, or the like. Man awakes hours later, having felt none of his body ' s pain; he again is conscious of his surroundings. What had happened to this conscious- ness ? Surely, we may not conclude that it died, for upon awakening, man found himself in possession of it once more. Could it rather, have become disengaged or suspended while enjoying its own activity? Many theories on the properties of the soul have been propounded by man. The Egyptians believed that after death, the soul returned to the body for materialistic needs, (e.g. food). Still yet another theory was held by certain theological groups, the Orphics, that in death, the soul departed from one body to reside in another. The previous life of the soul would, to a certain extent, determine what kind of new body it would enter. I find this highly impractical; for, to me, the soul is the value of the body. And yet, what do mean by the value of a soul ? The Greeks regarded the soul as we do our atom — as being the funda- mental form of all matter of which the universe consists. Plato asserted this theory by saying that the soul is life; indeed life is the basis of the universe. Christians regarded the soul as a part of that which is good in the universe. Again, I find this argument faulty. Life consists of both good and bad; if we regard the soul as the spirit of man handed down through the ages, as did Plato, then surely had may be entitled a soul as well as good. Spinoza offered an appealing solution. He maintained the soul as not immortal in an individual sense, but it did have immortality as a mode of God which could not be destroyed any more than God could be destroyed. Berkely follows this up by saying that mind, the creator and source of ideas, is all that exists . He upholds that this mind, or soul is the begin- Page 62 The Branksome Slogan ning and end of the universe. One cannot but hope that there is more to the spirit of man than a biological reproduction of patterned cells. Yet modern science rejects such a hypothesis, for our scientific method main- tains that just such a cycle exists. One can only arrive at his conclusion on the basis of his religious belief. Certainly, the soul is a phenomenon, worthy of consideration.

Year Book, 1969 Page 63 IF (FOR GIRLS) (With apologies to Rudyard Kipling) If you can dress to make yourself attractive, Yet not make puffs or curls your chief delight; If you can row and swim, be strong and active, But of the gentle graces, lose not sight. If you can dance without a craze for dancing, Play, without giving play too strong a hold. Enjoy the love of friends without romancing. Care for the weak, the friendless and the old. If you can master French and Greek and Latin, And not acquire, as well, a priggish mien; If you can feel the touch of silk and satin, Without despising calico and jean; If you can ply and saw and use a hammer, Can do a man ' s work when the need occurs; Can sing when asked without excuse or stammer; Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slurs; If you can make good bread as well as fudges; Can sew with skill and have an eye for dust. If you can be a friend and hold no grudges, A girl who all will love, because they must; If sometimes you should meet and love another, And make a home with faith and peace enshrined. And you, its soul, a loving wife and mother, Will work out pretty nearly to my mind The plan that ' s been developed through the ages, And win the best that life can have in store. You ' ll be my girl, a model for the sages, And a woman who the world will bow before. Requested by Sharon Ryan 9C May I have this dance?

Carolyn Brown Page 68 The Branksome Slogan In the aura of your passion summer ' s all but forgotten. The warmth, the stifling intensity, almost unbearable; But to breathe freely is destructive To the mood of summer. The leaves of summer now fall — but always striving to preserve that which Fortune condemns. It is more comfortable now, but is comfort what I want? No one who has thrived on summer ' s lust Will strengthen himself in fall ' s frost. Winter is hellish in its void The very Earth forfeits the right to bloom Why should I expect to do more? Frigid, barren, neither caring nor feeling Anything save hate. Spring — this is my realization. My tears mingle and fall with the same passion as the rains If the heavens cry out for sanctity of mind, Why must I be silent? Oh love, where have you gone? Have you passed through me As the seasons pass through the year? You have thrived, ripened and grown old In the eternal moment that is yours alone; I owe you nothing. Cathy Lawrance 13E IN MEMORI AM — SALLY WODEHOUSE Graduated June 1968. Died August 1968 Sally was a prefect in her graduating year and had been Clan Chieftain of the MacGregor Clan. Year Book, 1969 Page 69 Page 70 Sports As the halls abound with girls preparing for the clan entertain- ment, I sit down and think of what all of this exemplifies. Branksome is a unique unit — a group of girls, working, playing, and cheering to- gether — influenced by the pres- ence of a staff who encourage us in all that we do. Our school teams strive to do their best, yet they could not without the loyal sup- port of everyone. Spirit and enthu- siasm nurture the growth of a school and such a feeling develops in the early grades and continues through the final year. Branksome is the proud possessor of, such a spirit and it is reflected in all phases of the school life. The throngs of supporters at all our matches are just one example of this pride in all that Branksome stands for. The sports program is designed to provide everyone with the chance to participate in some as- pect of extra-curricular activities. You do not have to excel, for we can never do all that we would like, but the fact that you are there, to support and cheer, is important. It is at the school, in the classes and clans, that the Branksome spirit develops and it is up to us to carry it beyond. So whether you are a team member or an exuber- ant supporter, remember that it is the special Branksome feeling that you are displaying. With that in mind, sing and cheer a little louder, and ONWARD BRANKSOME ONWARD . Marilyn The Branksome Slogan Old Girls Basketball On Friday, September 28, the Old Girls returned to Branksome Hall. Their aim was to beat, for the first time in history the invinci- ble New Girls. Most of last year ' s stars returned and tried desperate- ly to conquer the determined first and second teams. Even with the assistance of goals scored from the balcony, the tired Old Girls were unable to defeat the well- practised teams. The New Girls did have an advantage in that the gym was packed with their enthus- iastic supporters. The Old Girls ' morale, however, was boosted by their cheering section, IIA. Their humorous skit and original cheers provided excellent half-time enter- tainment. Altogether every girl en- joyed herself thoroughly and was delighted because the New Girls were victorious once again. Cathie Stewart Year Book, 1969 Page 71 Branfesome ' s Two Ski Champs This winter the eyes of Brank- some are turned towards Europe to watch the progress and succes- ses of the Canadian National Ski Team, and with good reason as Diana Gibson and Judy Crawford are two of its members. They have been following a very tight sched- ule which started on November 15th with a few weeks of training; then they were ofF to dazzle Europe with their skills, abilities and of course their cheerful personalities. The races took place in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. The outstanding race in the European circuit was the 6th place win for Judy at Megeve, St. Gervais in the World Cup. The praises and congratulations rang out through the halls of Branksome as they did throughout Canada. After Europe the girls return to North America to continue racing at the Canadian Championships out west, then on to Squaw Valley, Vale and Quebec, bringing them back to school on the 15th of March, just in time for a well earned Easter holiday. This is Judy ' s second year and Diana ' s first year skiing on the National team. They are constantly travelling and most of their time is devoted to skiing, yet the experi- ence is invaluable and they are having the opportunity of seeing Europe and meeting its interesting and variegated people. We wish them both the best of luck in the future and we hope soon to see two new Olympic gold medalists in our midst. Fiona St. Clair 13 Tennis 1968 The June afternoon was warm and bright as the tennis players squared off. The Intermediate Singles Championship had been narrowed down to the two finalists Diana Gibson and Linda Michaels. Both girls used their mighty fore- hand strokes to drive the ball to the very reaches of the court. Fol- lowing an exciting match — Diana reigned supreme. The Senior Singles saw the con- sistent and accurate player, Mari- lyn Price, pitted against the hard driving Debbie Gibson. Again this year, the match was extremely close with Debbie taking the lead at its close. The Tennis Doubles involved the Gibson sisters and the ' Fearsome Twosome ' of Patsy Cross and Patti Parker. Spectators crowded round the Scott House court to see rapid returns of incredible speed and ac- curacy. The set showed great skill and strength. Congratulations to both teams and a match well fought. The Champs were Di and Deb. Barb Scandrett This page is donated by Grade 11 Year Book, 1969 Page 73 Clan Basketball The clans once again challenged each other for points towards the Clan Cup. Each of the eight clans selected their best basketball play- ers to form one over-sixteen and one under-sixteen team. The sup- port at these games was really fantastic and it was a great de- monstration of that famous Branksome spirit. The matches were finally nar- rowed down to the semi-finals with MacAlpine against Douglas in the under-sixteen teams and Mac- Alpine against Scott in the over- sixteen teams. The winners of these matches, MacAlpine and Scott met in the finals, when after a very close game Scott was victorious. Congratulations Scott! To every- one else, keep up that great spirit! Linda Wallace TKe Clan Gathering On Thursday, September 26, the Clan Gathering took place. The first race to set the pace was the tug-of-war, which really started the spirit rolling. The most chal- lenging event was the scavenger hunt. Not only did we have to find a worm and get Miss Snowdon ' s autograph, but we had to count the number of separate window panes in the gym. Two clans came up with the magic number — 318! Although the support from each clan was tremendous, one clan won both the attendance and the overall competition — McLean. Many thanks go to Miss Perry Gore and Marilyn who made this year ' s Clan Gathering a great success. Sheila Mclntyre MacALPINE - ' Gunick Bas Alpin Recipe for: Clan a la Spirit Ingredients: 48 enthusiastic girls with an assorted variety of talents (need not al- ways be noticeable ) : 1 clan banner slightly used. 1 clan sash frequently ironed. 1 clan chieftain somewhat organized. 1 great big vote of thanks for a fantastic year. Place the 48 enthusiastic girls in a green field and leave until they have risen by coming in second in clan gathering. Next add water about one swimming pool full. Mix well until third place is won in clan swim meet. Most important to insure that recipe will continue rising — choose three of the most enthusiastic girls (Diana Gibson, Becky Jeff ' s and Liz Tilt) then vote one as sub-chieftain, Diana and watch the recipe continue rising to more success. To complete — add a vote of thanks to everybody for the MacAlpines best year ever. Servings: To all in the average size girl ' s school. Julie( Child?) Page 74 The Branksome Slogan MacGREGOR Spirit, spirit, spirit! ! ! The clan gathering in September was the first chance we had this year to show our enthusiasm and we did. We weren ' t as successful in the games as we would like to be, but that didn ' t sullen the spirit. In the shooting competition, there was good participation and we placed fifth, a pleasing result. The pool was certainly put through some stern paces on the afternoon of the swim meet. It was all great fun, watching everyone plunging in and out of the pool with so much deter- mination. Amidst the screams, yells and shrieks . . . we placed seventh. I am happy to report, our best result, was first in sports points. Our new sub-chieftain, Read Jones, was elected after being a nominee with Debbie Hutchins and Sue Harvey. Everyone ' s confidence is with her, I ' m sure, for she has shown herself to be willing and eager to help. As the second term begins we can look forward to a successful season of volleyball, badminton, bowling and the variety show. Best of luck to everyone and remember — Keep that spirit high ! SCOTT- Amo Probos If at first you don ' t succeed try, try again. Well Scotts, we tried! It has been a busy year, never quite knowing whether we were coming or going. One thing for sure, we made all the meets and the new girls and the old girls came out in full force. It was terrific! By mid-term, we ascended to the heights with our dribbling basketball team, our washed out swim team and our spindly sprinters in the Clan meet. The New Year after a long Christmas vacation, was greeted with fresh spirit as the term began with volleyball, clan entertainment and badmin- ton. Still ascending to the heights the clan nominated three girls for clan sub-chieftain, Jennifer Moffat, Suzi Hershenhoren and Sylvia Morawitz. Congratulations go to Sylvia! Sylvia has been kept busy and she has worked hard to keep the Scott standard high. This year the participation in all after school activities was marvellous and the sports points were mounting up faster than we could count. Now, at the close of a successful year, Judy and I would like to give each Scott a hearty thanks for her co-operation, her spirit and her undying enthusiasm. It was a truly rewarding year and we had a lot of fun. Joanne and Judy Year Book, 1969 Page 75 CAMPBELL - Ne OLIiviscaris Campbells, the end of the year is quickly approaching and it seems hardly a week since we marched into our first clan meeting: you, ready to fight the slightest challenge: me, a shade paler than usual. Volunteers abounded for the various races and a week later we attacked. Stupefying the other clans, we strode to the lower field in single file behind our clarinated Pied Piper singing Hey there, Campbell girls. With a re- markable attendance (43 of 49), we pushed harder and harder until we ended up with three more worms and five less windows than required. The enthusiasm was feverish and we carried it on to our next event, the Swim Meet. Happily, here we chalked up a fourth in both attendance and standing. October was basketball month in which we all aimed for ten successful shots in the basket. Our amazing skill surprised even ourselves when we emerged — FIRST! Anxious to put our shooting prowess into action our two teams met the challengers — but, basketball isn ' t everything! In November, eyes were burning to look up from the secret ballot to see which of our excellent nominees, Jan Amyotte, Sue Butler and Hallie Gibson would be chosen. Hallie was elected and she has since helped me tremendously. Now we are all eagerly looking forward to the events still to come and especially our variety show Groan-In . Thank you all for a year packed with enthusiasm and support. Congratulations Campbell! Cathy DOUGLAS Siempre Adelante FORWARD! Our motto truly depicts your spirit this year, Douglases. Whether victorious in points or not, you always won for me with your incomparable enthusiasm. Our first real test was the Clan Gathering. Here we worked together tugging, running, carrying, searching and cheering to gain fourth place. We all had a good time and your spirit is still not forgotten. The next big event was the Swim Meet. Once more your united spirit gave us success for, after dog-paddling, pigeon-racing and balloon-burst- ing, we emerged in third place. As the autumn leaves fell, your spirit soared. In basketball, our shooting came fourth and the junior team scored second. Well, Seniors, you cheered well! After many secret ballots and much hush-hushing, our clan sub-chieftain was chosen from our three great nominees: Melissa Clarke, Martha Hill and Patti Smythe. Patti shall lead you now and I envy her for you are a great clan. My heartfelt thanks for your support and enthusiasm. The best to you all, Paula Page 76 The Branksome Slogan McLEAN - ' Virtue Mine Honour Dear McLeans: I am proud to report the enthusiasm and the will to win of forty- eight wonderful girls were terrific. The year began at Readacres with the Gathering of the Clans. Forty- five boisterous McLeans marched to victory by participating in the ball and spoon, the club-foot and the scavenger hunt. We also came first in the attendance. The Swim Meet was hilarious and I am proud to report we placed first in attendance, again. We entered the shooting competition with the same spirit, but you can ' t win them all! True sportsmanship was also shown in the field of basketball. Many a girl missed her lunch to tryout for the teams. November was high-lighted by the nomination of Jennifer O ' Brian, Sheila Mclntyre and Sheila Corrigan for sub-chieftain. Sheila Mc. was chosen and has proven her leadership ability. I wish to thank Miss Perry-Gore for her guidance throughout the year. Thanks McLeans from first to fifth form for giving me the opportunity to lead you through a year filled with happy memories that I will always cherish. Liz McLEOD - Hold Fast Fame, spirit and respect have been brought to the McLeod clan by only forty-eight girls working well together. In the opening weeks of school, Readacres was set on fire by the burn- ing excitement of the McLeods who tried so hard in the Gathering of the Clans. Weeks later the swimming pool was invaded by our beauties in their wild bikinis. Although many of us lost our voices and had great fun this was not one of our best achievements. Next we played the game of basketball! L. McQuaig, S. Powell and N. Page were our stars but even with their supreme accuracy of shooting somehow McLeod just didn ' t quite make it. Following basketball we chose our sub-chieftain. From the three nomi- nees M. Tow, C. Patterson and C. Stewart, Miss Stewart was victorious. I have appreciated Cathy ' s help very much but, most important of all, I have had great co-operation from everyone and to me, to have a suc- cessful clan, co-operation is definitely needed. Thank you very much for giving McLeod its reputation — that being, full of spirit, fun and success. Patty Year Book, 1969 Page 77 ROSS Success Fosters Hope You RAN ON SUPER SPIRIT All through the year Like the inexhaustible motor You were always in gear. In September the motor started With a fip roaring bang At the Gathering of the Clans Turned out the whole gang. The fumes scurried ' round Like bees in a hive, Trying to find all their races You placed number five. Your motor gave an encouraging sound Though in the gym there wasn ' t a word. Basketballs came shooting And your gear hit third. You swam with Super Speed And never thought it would end Your motor kept going And it pulled in second. Basketball was next for you A team we had to put in line The spirit was fabulous But you didn ' t quite make it this time, A clan sub-chieftain Sheila Rankin by name Is full of enthusiasm To win the game. It has been a great year Thank you for fantastic support And always remember to Run On Super Spirit . Kath Playday at Havergal The playday started off with a Branksome car parade up to Hav- ergal. As soon as we arrived the teams started warming up, and soon the first game began. The support and spirit of Branksome was terrific. We had over eighty supporters at a quick count. Our new mascots Maxi and Mini Mouse led us in our songs and cheers. Both teams played well, but so did the other schools which resulted in a three-way tie between Brank- some, B.S.S. and Havergal. The teams wish to thank the Brank- somites who came for their great enthusiasm. Anne Holland Page 78 The Branksome Slogan swimming Branksome ' s swimming activi- ties this year have been various, including the earning of both Red Cross and Royal Life Saving Awards. Branksomites working at these awards came to the pool throughout the first term, with the result that many passed their tests with excellent results. To finish the year off Branksome had a swim meet with St. Mil- dred ' s. Although Branksome was victorious it should be said that our opponents did a terrific job even though they had no pool to practice in. The year ' 69 started with team practices every day after school. The co-operation and good work of everyone resulted in a first place at the first girl ' s school meet. B.S.S. came two points behind us show- ing all swimmers how much work has to be done in preparation for the annual inter-school meet for the cup in March. A special thank-you and good- bye goes to Mrs. Van Fleet who has been a terrific coach for our team. We ' ll miss her very much! Pat SWIM TEAM Baseball Branksome ' s infamous baseball team set out early one Saturday morning in May toward the play- ing fields of Havergal College where the team was to meet three other teams in a battle for the top. It was a bright morning as Brank- some began to wreak disaster on 1968 the teams of St. Clements, B.S.S. and Havergal. Our cheers grew louder and louder as the third and final team was met and conquered. Brank- some was elevated to the first place in the annual competition. It was a day of victory!

The outer wall is serene grey rock, carved elaborately with classical figures. The wrought-iron door displays engravings of occupational past- times, and above it, dully tarnished, is the distinguished title that the structure bears. Inside, marble walls and cold, hard floors give a no- nonsense air to the visitors. Important looking teletype machines clatter off necessary information to brokers and dealers about shares in the Stock Market. If you are a visitor, you stride into the showy gold elevator and whizz up to the visitor ' s gallery, second floor. Now, here is the soul of the market, what it is all about. At first all you notice is the noise. The acrid fumes of cigars, pipes and cigarettes, men in flashy suits shouting incomprehensible figures and names of stocks, others rushing to deals, papers massed ankle-deep on the floor, boys in booths phoning and receiving calls, others running frenziedly around posts trying insanely to keep a record of prices and at the same time attend to impatient dealers waving papers and struggling to get at the vacuum tube that sends information to the computer. These things are impressed on your mind all at once. You are quite Year Book, 1969 Page 89 stunned. It takes time to comprehend the screaming and yelUng, and it is a little while before you realize what the swarming men are doing indi- vidually. To ease your jangled nerves you look around. Directly below you is a spittoon that is perpetually in use. On two walls are magnified tapes denoting prices and such from New York, Vancouver and Montreal, as well as Toronto. These tapes stop momentarily and then again spurt into action. Sunlight, from the far windows, filters in through all the smoke and chalk dust to brighten the mad, multicolor scene. The place you are standing on is surrounded by highly varnished wooden walls, and for ignorant guests, telephones are on the walls to explain how the Exchange operates. Here you will remain glued for hours unable to move because of the fascinating drama before your eyes. You will finally go and take with you an enjoyable memory, and the desire to renew your visit again and again and again and . . .

Barbara Shirriff, Grade 8 THE ANCHOR All strung with seaweed, corroded you lie, Under the sea, All people, boats and land floating above Are memories. For you were dragged by the hands of sweating men And pulled against steel of a ship with glinting brightness. A long while back you were polished And brightly shone. But now you are steadfast and naught do you move. For you had the power to hold a ship close, And stay its hull from moving again across the water. A time when you saw the sun you glistened fervently But now the glitter is concealed beneath packs of erosion. No more shall you hear the groans of sailors pulling. No longer dazzle the eye with a sparkle. As the stately ships and swarthy men Are just memories, So with those who are shady figures You, are a memory.

MORE MOTHERS CHOOSE HOMOGENIZED MILK THAN ANY OTHER KIND - BECAUSE IF irs irS GOT TO BE GOOD 445-3150 Year Book, 1969 Page 109 TIITIMATE i DROPOUT m It seems that young Icarus was in prison (known today as restricted freedom, in- justice and false values). 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 So! 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 fry 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, sodid 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. SINCE 1898 National Trust Page 110 The Branksome Slogan Having problems deciding what to do with your life? ' ' Most of us do.
