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. Most sincerely, This page is donated by Grade 13 Barh, BARBARA PATTISON

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.

Page 10 The Branksome Slogan INSTALLATION OF THE PREFECTS PREFECTS Back Row (left to right): C. von Otter, E. Flavelle, L. 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
