Try to bottle that feeling of pride when Branksome proves her worth, or the glow of friendship when others share good times with you. The task is difficult. Before many years have passed, those elusive memories of experiences and emotions will be shadowed by new ones. Gradually, special, subtle shades of feeling may be beyond reach, simply because we forget to remember. The Slogan is a preservative. Although it does not present several volumes of individual experiences, it acts as a reminder for you to recall your personal, unique school days. Schooldays! If you are a student, glance now at your class picture. While looking at it, think of what those people, and events connected with them, really mean. Call to mind the importance of what you may take for granted, and laugh at those things that brightened your Branksome life. Before too many years have escaped, you may look at the same picture and remember many of these associations. Outstanding events will come quickly. Fizzie! What trouble when she set off the fire extinguisher! Perhaps too, you will recall more personal incidences. And Nelly. She was always there when I needed her. Branksome is so much more than sharpened pencils and knotted notebooks. Let the Yearbook nudge your memory. I, too, have scanned the pictures. In a few words, I have tried to describe what my years here have meant to me. Branksome is kilts and ties, crossed legs, push-pins, smiling faces, horoscopes, announcements, secret notes, enthusiasm, clubs, sports, name-tapes, no baubles, teachers, Ribbit, beautiful people, the School Song, lunch bags, serious talks, spirit, learning, laughing, growing, fifty jumps, stop signs, singing, exams, sharing, debating, light- hearted chatter, lost-and-found, chocolate sundaes, kindness, skipping rope, happiness, and Slogan. The true Branksome Hall cannot be bound by words. Its facets are innumerable. You and I are inseparable parts of our school, and our actions and attitudes are products of it. As you peruse your Slogan, read between the lines. We are all writers and editors, so please scribble in your personal additions to the book. Many thanks go to Miss Forsyth and Mrs. Campbell, the business and literary advisors, for their kind help and guidance. Best wishes to all, Carolyn Brown Hugo 4 The Brunksome Slogan PRINCIPAL ' S LETTER My dear Girls, As I write this we have just entered a new year and a new decade and all the pundits are busy with prognostications of what the Seventies will bring. I have no crystal ball but I am sure that we must all be prepared for changes and some of those changes may not be altogether what we might expect or desire. The frightening Brave New World which Aldous Huxley foresaw in the Thirties would seem to be drawing uncomfortably close. Nevertheless, it is my contention that older writers reached more nearly the heart of the truth: John Stuart Mill when he said The worth of a state in the long run is the worth of the individuals composing it and Nathaniel Hawthorne when he said Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect whether he chooses to be or not . Since the days of Christ, who taught that God sees the sparrow fall, man has been trying to establish the worth of the individual. Who will deny that we have made but slow progress, yet who can deny that the past decade has produced a gathering momentum? If we dare to accept the responsibility of our right to individual importance and are prepared to grant to every other man that same right, we may perhaps find our salvation from the evils of autocracy, technocracy and computerization by which, it is said, we are threatened and reap only the benefits of the great scientific and technical advances of our century. Sincerely, Year Book, 1970 Page 5 HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE During this past year I have been asked several times what it feels like to be head girl. I contemplated this question and after much travail came up with no simple answer. One answer is not sufficient to describe a year, which for me has been a conglomeration of numerous weird and wonderful feelings. There was that feeling of exhilaration when Branksome was awarded one half of the basketball trophy, of anxiety when I wondered how many more times our poor Grinch would be obliged to stuff the tree up the chimney, of pride in our school when the last skinny Branksomite squeezed into the chancel and of mortification when found guilty in the kidnapping and wounding of our beloved Ribbit was none other than our seemingly virtuous staff. In all these endeavours, we worked (used as a non-academic term) together and, in my opinion, that is what Branksome is all about. After all, any school offers a basic education. Branksome gives us an extra, something just as basic and equally important— an opportunity to involve ourselves in school life to the depth that we desire. This is where the key word, enthusiasm, our own willingness to participate, takes over. A graduate may walk away from Branksome with one or two hands full; one, clutching a diploma and hopefully the second, hiding a rich cache of school memories. A basketball team fights equally for victory and for the satisfaction of playing a good game. Branksome is in essence a huge team, working together to fulfil any endeavour put before us. This year, in my estimation, you played a great game. The sports program, under the cheerful leadership of Miss Perry-Gore and Jane was exciting and rewarding; the various school committees excelled themselves and the Junior School, as ever, made its valuable contribution. I have decided what it feels like to be head girl — it ' s in feeling the tremendous support that the staff, the prefect body and you, the students have put behind me and I thank you for it.

The 1970 pledge of Branksome debaters! It ' s hard to believe that there are actually eighty-five argument-promoters loose in the halls of Branksome at this very moment! This year, more than ever before the debating society has been filled with tremendous enthusiasm and has enjoyed great success. A ferocious team of Marguerite Mooney, Candace Tonge, and Anne Levenston argued with B.S.S. that words are the worst form of communication and with great skill and eloquence, won the debate. Yet, above all debating endeavours so far this year, our efforts at Ridley proved the most rewarding. Sheila Mclntyre and Linda McQuaig captured the senior debating victory while Ann Meredith, Alison Macintosh and Carolyn Clark proved that (believe it or not) society ' s morals are not declining. Both these teams were cheered to victory by forty avid Branksome supporters who if asked may be able to give you some answer to the resolution that, There really is romance in debating. Even now we are preparing ourselves for future debates hopefully with U.C.C., U.T.S., S.A.C., andT.C.S. Yet, all the debating we do is not carried on outside the s chool for we find just as much pleasure in arguing among ourselves. At the moment reliable sources report that deep in the heart of Branksome plans are being laid for an inter-clan debate in the near future. With the ability and spirit already shown in debating this year we are certain of continued success. Harv Year Book, 1970 Page 13 BETA KAPPA BETA KAPPA SOCIETY President — Linda McQuaig Vice-President — Sheila Scott Comnriittee: Katherine Andrachuk, Shelagh Boxer, Margaret Evans, Felicity Hawley, Barbara McKee, Kathleen Schrunnp, Vivian Swan, Susan TurnbuM, Barbara Arnold, Margot Newton, Antionette Falconer, Wendy Philpott, Nancy Robinson, Patricia Thorn, Jennifer O ' Brian, Carol McLean, Anne Levenston, Brenda Lillico, Margaret Vernor, Colleen Shields. If you were to ask a typical member of the Beta Kappa Society to summarize this year ' s accomplishments she would probably hesitate for a moment (as I did for a week), and then tell you we produced the following: Ribbit ' s Rock Revival. Despite the temptation of Hallowe ' en night, crowds of Branksome girls came dancing, and, in doing so, added more than $500 to the Ramabai fund. They brought with them dates— mostly blind ones, for which Grace Rasmussen is largely responsible. Placed in charge of blind dates, Grace worked tenaciously. Two weeks and 103 boys later, she had exhausted every source conceivable and brought excitement to the lives of many Branksome girls. Although this undoubtedly improved the dance, it has been said that the experience left her greatly altered. The 4th and 5th. Our preparations for this dance were aided by the invaluable ideas of a group of non-Beta Kappa members, (who understandably wish to remain anonymous.) Working long hours in the basement of Ainslie House under the capable guidance of Barbara McKee, they put together a variety of very strange decorations. The dance was a semi-formal for Grades 12 and 13, held in the Cafeteria. From all reports it appears that everyone had fun - almost as much as the servers. Miss Sime ' s Formal has not yet happened but the Beta Kappa Society is already making plans for this climactic ( c;casion. Throughout the year w( have encouraged as many girls as possible to come to the dances, as they are, like other school activities, fun. We feel that Branksome ' s social side is a significant part of school life. Furthermore, as Miss Perry Oore once pointed out, Dancing is good for muscle-tone. Linda McQuaig P. ' iqf; M The Branksonne Slogan THIS SECTION IS SPONSORED BY PITFIELD, McKAY, ROSS CO. OPHELEO SOCIETY President — Karen Keir Vice-President — Terry Chambers OPHELEO REPORT Committee: SuSie Fu-Ying Chu, Paula Eaton, Susan Kelleher, Margaret Reid, Beverley Wilkinson, Nancy Beagley, Lynne Grant, Mamie Griffith, Deborah Hutchins, Diane Stafford, Kristine Tenhunen, Elizabeth Tilt, Mary Cameron, Jennifer Svenningson The Opheleo Society serves, to as great an extent as possible, the needs of others less fortunate than we. Unofficially every Branksomite is a member of this group— when the Opheleo committee calls for help each girl comes forward and offers, her spirited assistance. The last week of October saw an enthusiastic drive to raise money— Ramabai Week. This week, marked by food festivals, school spirit sales, novelty boutiques, the infamous prefects ' versus teachers ' volleyball game, the exhilarating (?) prefects ' auction and rhythmic Ribbit ' s Rock Revival, resulted in a collection of one thousand, six hundred and seven dollars. The Junior School must be praised for their extremely substantial free will donation. To the Ramabai Mukti Mission, Bible and Medical Missionary Fellowship and the Ludhiana Hospital we were able to send a larger sum than usual. Many of our fellow Canadians benefited from the donations we made to the Red Cross, United Appeal, Canadian Indian Centre, Bellwood ' s House and Grenfell Mission. Contributions were also sent to the Bethlehem Hospital and the Nigeria— Biafra Relief Fund. Have you ever thought of using Christmas cards as note-paper? That is how our friends across the ocean use the cards we send them. Thank you to all who gave their old Christmas cards, from people who treasure a piece of blank paper. As the Slogan goes to press we are anticipating our next big endeavour— the voluntary donation during Lent. This money will be distributed among a number of Branksome graduates who are doing missionary work in less prosperous parts of the world. To Miss Baker, without whose advice and guidance I would have been at a serious loss, to Miss Forsyth, whose experience was extremely valuable and to every member of Branksome who demonstrated that they understood the meaning of Opheleo— I serve , infinite thanks. Branksomites definitely are big people. Karen Year Book, 1970 Page 15 UNITED NATIONS CLUB President — Margery Tow Vice-President — Jill Ramsay Secretary — Laura MacFeeters Leader of the Delegation — Sheila Morgan. The United Nations Club is an organization, in Branksome, in which we all try to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. By means of films, we introduce the members to some of the major problems of today— war, starvation, poverty and disease. Through these films the girls become aware of the great need in the world and we begin our campaign. In previous years we have given aid to foreign countries. This year we decided to try to help our own city along with other cjountries. We started out by sending money to those who lost everything they had in the big Malton fire. Then, when the plea came to us for toys forUhe underpriveleged in Toronto, we gathered voluntary donations and purchased about 80 new toys for thCvSe children. We also took part in the Mysore share-a-loaf plan, and we sold Unicef Christmas cards. Later in the year, we will be having a fund-raising drive in order to support our foster-child, Erol, in Turkey. The executive thank all the enthusiastic members of the United Nations Club for helping us, help others. The best of luck to next year ' s executive and w(, ' hope they have a group that is as co-operative as this year ' s was. Margery Mrs. Coutts, always concerned with our appearance, urged, Sing, girls! It takes off weight. The Branksome Slogan THE UNITED NATIONS DELEGATION REPORT INVOLVEMENT! The United Nations Delegation, or World Affairs Forum as it has been newly named, has concentrated more than ever this year on student involvement. Students with a better understanding of Canada ' s problems can have an even clearer comprehension of the world ' s crises. Every second Sunday from September to January more than fifty schools in Toronto were represented at meetings in the New Medical Sciences building at the University of Toronto. At these meetings committees were formed to discuss topics such as the Indian and Eskimo problem, youth and drugs, and poverty in cities. We were also lucky to have a few guest speakers on these subjects, two of whom were Mr. Richard Needham and Mr. Steven Clarkson. At the beginning of January Branksome was assigned Bulgaria to represent at the sixteenth Model Assembly at Convocation Hall on January 29, 30, and 31. Unfortunately due to our exams we were only able to attend the meeting on the 31st but it was thrilling to watch and participate in the debates on that day. This year Branksome had a membership of thirty, which was one of the highest representations in Toronto. The enthusiasm was really great and I think, we are now even more aware of the problems of not only Canada, but of the world. Sheila Morgan, Delegation Leader Year Book, 1970 Page 17 Page 18 The Branksome Slogan LIBRARY COMMITTEE Chief Librarian — Cynthia Farquharson Committee: Felicity Hawley, Terry Chambers, Elizabeth McCutcheon, Janet Pearce, Marguerite Mooney, Susan Bunting, Grace Rasmussen, Elizabeth Chapman, Barbara Dunlop, Patricia Munro, Heather Ann Montague, Ann Morris, Mary Ridler, Joanne Cook, Judith Greenaway, Patricia Sully Books are not absolutely dead things. . . Milton. It may safely be said that the B.H.S. library is no longer a forgotten mousehole hidden on the second garret of our school. Branksomites know the library is one of the foremost places in the building where much of their knowledge has been pursued this year. But the calibre of our library provides more than just The Five Hundred Best English Letters or Why France Lost Canada. The library now contains our books such as Charly, Catch 22, and Waiting For Godot. The Library Committee has spent many hours decorating these new additions, collecting dividends on the overdue books, and counting the never-ending volumes on our shelves. While the Committee discourages overdue books, we must admit that the five cents a day fines are attractive?, ' i ' hen too, any impulsive contributions are certainly not refused. Many thanks lo Ihv Library Committee for their precious hours, and esp(K:ially to Mrs. Collins for her much-appreciated guidance, tolerance (!) and hard work. Fark and Liz Puge 20 The Branksome Slogan THE FLAG SERVICE May 22, 1969, saw the whole school assembled around the lintel in front of Main House, as the Alumnae Association was replacing the old and worn school flag with a lovely new one. On the street, a few neighbours and passers-by drew close to the fence to see the cause of the gathering. Before long their curiosity was further aroused by the entrance of the colour party: the flag-bearing prefects and subs, the staff in cap and gown. Canon Bedford- Jones, Margaret Withers, and Mrs. R. Cameron Bennett. A few more on-lookers arrived. After Miss Sime explained the symbolism of our flags, the old school flag was lowered and folded. In the background was the clear and beautiful singing of Psalm 23. More people slowed down to listen. Mrs. Bennett, the president of the Alumnae introduced to us Miss Withers, the first head girl to carry the old flag. To Barbara Pattison she gave the new one. It was blessed by Canon Bedford-Jones, and we joined him in the School Prayer. As a piper played, the flags were taken to the balcony vy here they were placed in position. The school song followed by O Canada ended the ceremony. Satisfied on-lookers dispersed and we filed back into the school. The ceremony was meaningful and moving. Through it, we were instilled with pride for our flag and the school ' s tradition. SHERBORNE REP ' S REPORT What a year! I can honestly say that I will never forget my year at Branksome for many reasons. It has been lots of fun, and a really interesting experience for me. I would like to thank everyone; Miss Sime, Mrs. Waterson— my very tolerant housemother, and all the great kids in MacNeill, and the rest of the school, for making this year what it was. If any of you are in England this summer, please take a trip down to Sherborne. Any Branksome Hall girl would be welcome there, and I am sure you would find it interesting to see how different the two schools are, and how much the same the kids are! Good luck to everyone in the future, and keep the Branksome Spirit high. Mamie Year Book, 1970 Page 21 THE SENIOR CHOIR The fall term began and with it seventy-nine choir members began practising. Every Wednesday at five after three in the music room hints of what was to come could be heard. Each practice held much laughter and perhaps talking as well as hard work and perseverance. Amazingly Mrs. Coutts was able to pry five tremendously successful numbers from us to make our repertoire for the annual Carol Service on December 14th. Our first moment of recognition was reached. From Far Away We Come To You saw the Senior Choir file down the aisle of St. Andrew ' s Presbyterian Church. The select and secret meetings in the music room had fulfilled their purpose, and our addition to the service was a success. Lo How A Rose E ' er Blooming and As Lately We Watched were two favourites— the first of Miss Sime and the second of the choir members. Our first goal was reached and has long since been forgotten. Our second goal now takes shape in our minds as we prepare just as enthusiastically for the Spring Concert. A selection of seasonable songs will be followed by the madrigal group— which has expanded somewhat this year, and the junior choir. If we follow the trend set in the fall term, the Spring Concert should be the big success I know it could be. Our appreciation of and admiration for Mrs. Coutts can never be properly expressed. Only her hours of kindness and careful guidance have made the choir of ' 69-70 what it is now and what it will continue to be until the end of this year. Her overwhelming dedication has not gone unnoticed and I wish to thank her on behalf of the choir for all she has done. Thank you, Mrs. Coutts. I also wish to express our gratitude to Mrs. Cook for all her time and effort as our accompanyist. I personally wish to thank the executive for their unfailing loyalty and enthusiasm. They are: Vice-President, Lindsay Kerrigan; Secretary -Treasurer, Barbara Cross; Head Librarian, Sheelagh Hendrick; Committee: Wendy Pangman, Barbara Dunlop, Anne Levenston, Cindy Cochran, Mary-Jane Robertson and Sandra Cox. Thank you choir for all you have done this year. Your support, enthusiasm and determination have made this a great and successful year. I wish all the best to the future executive. If your year is as good as mine has been, it will be tremendous! Cathy Paterson, President CHOIR COMMITTEE President Catherine Paterson Vice-President - Lindsay Kerrigan Secretary- Treasurer - Barbara Cross Chief Librarian - Sheelagh Hendrick Section Librarians: Barbara Dunlop, Lucinda Cochran, Sandra Cox Section Representatives: Wendy Pangman, Anne Levenston, Mary Jane Robertson Page 22 The Branksome Slogan 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNAE Congratulations and all the best wishes to the graduates of today and the ' Old Girls of tomorrow. This may come as a bit of a shock to you but eventually you will realize that to be a Branksome Alum is something rather special. The magic word Branksome will hold many happy memories in the years to come, whether you be close by or far away. Last fall, the Alumnae held its bi-annual Bazaar, and it was a huge success in all ways. We have been able to donate $1000. to school bursaries, provide Junior School stage curtains and blackout drapes, an intricate science scale and other equipment for the new building. We are now preparing for the October Dinner Dance which is held for Parents, Alumnae and Friends of the School . These activities, along with the Annual Dinner and our two yearly newsletters create a loyal and enthusiastic Alumnae. The Alumnae Newsletter will keep you up-to-date on school and alumnae yearly events. News from the Grads of ' 70 will be happily included but please be sure to let us know when you move, OR, change your name. Such information should be directed to the Alumnae Registrar, in care of the school. As you have found out during your time at Branksome, the only way you can really partake of the School Spirit , is through active participation. We need your spirit and suggestions in order to make the Alumnae meaningful to you. Even though you are now starting out on another phase of your life, don ' t forget to continue doing your thing for Branksome. Katherine A. Staples President NO TWO-HEADED MONSTERS IN RED, PLEASE. Branksome turns out her best for this bright day each October: clan banners, chieftains, sashes, silk ribbons, prefects ' kilts. An impressive and colourful ceremony, it starts with The Queen. Miss Sime officiates; Miss Claxton points out the significance of red, green, black and white— truth, h onesty, justice and purity— cornerstones of Branksome. Chieftains stand proudly (as all Chieftains do), sub-prefects and prefects mount the steps. All receive praise and responsibilities. Mrs. Egmont Frankel stressing future duties reiterates Miss Claxton ' s don ' t take yourselves too seriously. Gartha accepts school flag (others seem to get lost in the shuffle, but no matter!) School prayer and song give old girls in the balcony a chance to express their fervent spirit. O Canada, (en francais aussi) and then everyone out f( r pictures for The Slogan. A ceremony purely for tradition? Tradition yes, But isn ' t there more? Red bands, tartan sashes, and scarlet kilts mean something. What do they mean to you? Lesley Bradford, 13E The Branksome Slogan Year Book, 1970 Page 25 BUCCLEUCH HOUSE REPORT Up! Up! is the 7:00 cry of Monday morning. Busy Miss Harle and Mrs. Vagg are once again beginning the morn ' s dreary duties. But still we lie in bed thinking of the past, present and future. Recollecting the past seems to bring a smile to everybody. We remember the Hallowe ' en dance, The Royal Winter Fair ' s horse show, the Ice Capades, and the bazaar where those great novels sold for a dime. All lifted our thoughts of exams, and school. The great fun of the Christmas party with Santa (Cathy Gartha), Sheila Scott, Miss Sime and staff as our guests, has taken part, as well, in making 1969-1970 a memorable year. Despite the occasional peaceful study, the restricted phone, and piano practice, we give our many thanks to Miss Harle and Mrs. Vagg, both great housemothers. Good luck Buccleuch girls and remember. . . Up! Up! and On! Cathy Gibson BRANKSOME HALL TOWERS, SCOTLAND MAIN HOUSE REPORT Main House started the year with a bang! The first night at 11:00, the door-bell got stuck and we were thrown out of bed by the cry It ' s a fire alarm! Most of us were new girls but what we lacked in experience, we made up in enthusiasm. Remember the Boarder ' s Swim Meet? Well, if you overlook the fact that we came 2nd last in points, we did fantastically well! Whenever we slightly lagged in enthusiasm, our encouraging housemothers came to the rescue with kind words and helpful advice. However, when it came to sports, we needed no encouragement. One sixth of our girls are on basketball teams. We all really enjoyed the House Christmas party, especially with the staff there, joining in the fun. When will be the next time that we see Miss Sime sitting crosslegged on the floor, playing Hot Potato ? Those and other incidents, such as the time the hot water in the bath wouldn ' t turn off, have made this a really good year.

Buzzy and Patti AINSLIE HOUSE REPORT This year, as usual, Ainslie has proved itself to be the best house. This has been proved by the Ainslie girls themselves. Where else could a group come in fifth (or last) in the house swim meet, but still know they have won? In what other house could the spirit be so high that several closet doors were fractured? Where else could the Christmas party be so gay that the halls could become magically decorated with beautiful streams of tinsel sometime between three and four in the morning? Where else are midnight prowlers so heartily welcomed? What other houses ' fire alarm rings so merrily that the girls rush out in their night attire and warmly welcome the Toronto fire fighters? Where else are found such housemothers as those in Ainslie? We want them to know how much we appreciate all they did for us. The motto of the Coldstream Guards is Second to None. Obviously they copied this from the girls of Ainslie. Liz Mikel MacNEILL HOUSE REPORT A seven a.m. bell shocked girls from everywhere into realizing they had come to stay. From the start we worked as a unit, trying valiantly in the swim meet, to stay afloat. What? — a second? As time went on, we astounded Bell Telephone with our number of words per minute, and amazed the younger girls with our slippery-fingered agility as war-workers. After the Christmas dinner, our talented house was found in the off -Broadway production of The Night Before Christmas . Santa Claus arrived to liven up the affair, and later he reappeared in the carefully (?) planned house party. Unbelievably, the night was a success thanks to our president. We could never forget the reactions of the disillusioned day prefects who came to discover what boarding is really like. We remember as well, weathering exams, surviving, with few casualties, the ski trips, and escaping a few midnight fire alarms. The year has been wonderful, and the friendships, lasting. Many thanks to Mrs. Waterson, who guided us through many crises, and to Mrs. Wilson, who was always left with the dirty jobs. Best wishes to all future MacNeill girls from all of us. Liz McCutcheon Year Book, 1970 Page 27 Branksome Goes Up and On with A Little Bit Louder, Please An Independent Schools Charity Variety Show Ryerson Theatre April 4, 1970 September to December: Extensive discussions and preliminary arrangennents by representatives from Havergal, Branksome, and the fathers of the show from St. Andrew ' s College. A talent hunt within Branksome uncovered many surprises! Wednesday night sessions of creative outpourings by skit writers followed. January to March: Further meetings, final auditions for actors, singers, dancers. A frantic plea for 25 posters overnight— we actually overproduced! Ticket sales, script editing, performance polishing. March 30 to April 4: Branksome ' s gym witnessed three days of organized chaos as the participants met for the first time. Friday night ' s dress rehearsal resembled a three-ring circus— a sleepless night followed for many! Nerves tightened as Saturday afternoon ' s rehearsal concluded. But— wonders shall never cease: the show pulled together! What did we gain? The discovery and exploitation of our talents, experience in a professional theatre, firm bonds of friendship, the satisfaction of completing a challenge. What did we give? We hope— an enjoyable evening, and— what it was all about— $1,500 to the Crippled Children ' s Centre. Page 28 The Branksome Slogan SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES The colourful memory of a lady- principal from a girls ' school similar to Branksome Hall, but located in Jhansi, India, gowned in her lovely sari, recalls an interesting Sunday evening service, when we were transported by word and picture to surging India. Other Sunday evenings were occupied with reminders of the needs of many people being helped by Oxfam, the Leprosy Mission, the Metropolitan Police or Yonge Street Mission ' s Squirrels , under the capable leadership of Miss Edna F. Grant. Each of these services was followed by an interesting hour in the home of our Principal, Miss Sime, who graciously served us refreshments, and provided us with a time to chat with our guests and to get to know each other better. Variety could well be the keynote of the Sunday evening services. Miss E.M. Forsyth An Elizabethan Madrigal . . . T ' was a clear, crisp morn in late September, As forty-four girls can plainly remember; We hied to Stratford for Hamlet to see. Hey nonne, nonne, persecutus sum ni. Our coach with melodies, brightly did ring. But much to Dame Coutts ' enormous chagrin. Quoth the coachman, ' ' Ye know not how to sing! ' ' Hey diddle, diddle, tra la la tra lee. Now hark! On that cool autumn morn. Our gallant Sire Ribbit was born— Who has since been many times torn! Hey nonne, nonne, vulnera bellorum. From the stalls, we gazed with great delight, And watched Prince Hamlet in his plight. From Ghost to playette to murderous fight. Hey nonne, nonne, the good will be right. Our play is ended, our journey is o ' er. Memory now this jaunt must store; To teachers dear. Dames Collins and Coutts, Our hearl-fcU thanks— Come tune your lutes. Hey nonne, nonne, hey nonne ne.

The massive clouds which had descended, muffling the city, still showed no signs of lifting. Like most of the young people of the day, he was restless, and longed to have some excitement in his life. He picked up the newspaper, glanced over it, and threw it aside. Same old news— old wars, new wars, and still no solution to the age-old problem of peace. Joltingly, the phone rang. . . Hey, remember the party tonight? A friend ' s familiar chatter rattled on but he wasn ' t really listening. The room was full of familiar faces. He had been there half the night, waiting, longing for something, anything to happen. Finally someone came up with an idea— a strangely new, and exciting idea. There ' s this old man across the street, who keeps a whole menagerie of animals in his cellar. Let ' s go over and let them out! Then we ' ll see some Exclamations of C ' mon, let ' s go! filled the room with excitement- excitement which still lingered long after they had silently sneaked out into the rain. The light, filtering in through the broken window, played dim shadows on a huge object. Someone found a candle. Cages full of animals, were seen in the flickering light. He felt a tinge of guilt at the thought of undoing all that the old man had done; but, he reasoned, there was no harm in having a little bit of fun. The animals were scurrying in all directions when the door creaked open. The Old Man stood in the door-way, a package dropping from his hand. They stood, silently staring at each other. He was still standing, when he saw one of his friends brutally knock down the old man. They were running now, trampling over his body in their rush to escape. He was the last one to leave. Passing the body, he noticed the torn and battered package. It seemed to be another animal for the old man ' s collection. When he picked it up, he could just make out the first name. It was NOAH. When he was running, it was still raining. . . fun!! Annie Kwan 12B La Solitude La societe est active. La vie—breve. Mon reve a disparu. La realite est venue.

And a trip involved travel in cars, planes or ships? When pot was a vessel for cooking things in, And hooked was what grandmother ' s rugs may have been. When fix was a verb that meant mend or repair. And be-in meant simply existing somewhere? When neat meant well-organized, tidy and clean. And grass was a g round cover, normally green. When the lights and not people were switched on and off. And the pill might have been what you took for a cough. When groovy meant furrowed with channels and hollows. And birds were winged creatures like robins and swallows? When fuzz was a substance, fluffy like lint. And bread came from bakeries, not from the mint. When roll meant a bun and rock was a stone. And hung up was something you did with the phone. When chicken meant poultry, and bag meant a sack. And junk trashy castoffs and old bric-a-brac? When cat was a feline, a kitten grown up. And tea was a liquid you drank from a cup. When swinger was someone who swings in a swing. And pad was a sort of cushiony thing? When way out meant distant and far, far away. And a man couldn ' t sue you for calling him gay. Words once so sensible, sober and serious. Are making the freak scene like psyche-delirious.

As people fumbled to shelter under dripping coats, and bright lights with music drowned the rain, I stood there, by the fountain, waiting for Jesus. He was late, which seemed considerably ungodly of him. My mind bent. Perhaps he had run into some other deity in the area en route, or had indulged in a binge of miracle-performing last night and was now feeling the effects. What does the first human to see Jesus on earth in 2000 years say as he approaches? Hi ? What is the socially acceptable line? Vogue ' s Book of Etiquette missed this point. What would I call him— Lord, Master or just plain Jesus, as he was known to his close friends? Jesus Christ. That name crackles. . .explodes. I wondered playfully whether he would have had the same effect on mankind had he been Jesus Smith. . .Jesus Weinstein. How should I introduce myself- as an old friend of his father? But then, maybe I wasn ' t. As I stood there waiting for camels to grow out of the ground, a star to form, from which wise men would suspend themselves, envisioning a mellow face melted in a yellow haze, Jesus Christ said hello to me. I plunged into the interview. Q. ' This generation seems to be leaving the Church more and more. There is a growing feeling that the Bible is outdated, that it does not compute . How do you feel about this, in relation to your life? CHRIST: The Bible does not ' compute ' only in the sense that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were programming it for a different generation. They wrote from their own understanding and experience, in their own terms. In your terms the healing of the sick by other than medical methods appears mythical, walking on waves, with other than water skis is plainly impossible, and dividing seven loaves and fishes among five thousand people is not the practical answer to inflation. In order that my ideas be grasped I must speak in terms of my listeners. This I did 2000 years ago by using parables that applied to their lives. If I were teaching now, I would change Prophets to Astronauts, Good Samaritans to Boy Scouts and journeys through Jerusalem to surprise visits to Cuba. Q. Do you feel that the moral which Aesop ' s fable taught you as a child, ' Never cry wolf unnecessarily ' is meaningless now that wolves are no longer your major fear? CHRIST: Although the setting and symbols of the Bible are outdated, my message remains as applicable today as before. Truth is timeless. When I told my disciples to love one another just as I loved them, was I speaking only to my disciples? When I spoke of the parable of the sower, was I thinking only of the farmers of Palestine? When I called the children to me, was I restricting the invitation to children born at a certain time in a certain place, or was I speaking to the whole of mankind? Whether you calculate a mathematical problem by computer or by the old math system, don ' t you arrive at the same answer? Q. lf an imposter were to declare tomorrow that he were the second son of God, how would we know he was not your brother? How are we to believe in you, yourself being the Son of God without proof? Page 50 The Branksome Slogan CHRIST: If you touch, you understand. If you can ' t touch, you can ' t understand, you can ' t beheve. You can grasp the idea of a physical reality. You know of it because your physical body responds to it. You can prove that existence of that apple over there on the fruit stand because you can see it, touch it, taste it, smell it. It passes the physical tests. However, you don ' t doubt the existence of emotions even though you cannot see, touch, taste or smell a happy mood. Similarly a spiritual reality exists which defies physical analysis. For me to perform a miracle now could only prove to you that Houdini and I are masters of our art. Miracles are only attempts to translate spiritual reality into physical reality for you to understand. They are not proof of my godliness. The only spiritual reality for you lies in the experience of me as your Saviour. Q. How do we experience this? CHRIST: How can you summon the impulses of happiness? How can you analyse the components of beauty and then create beauty? How can you convince yourself to exercise pride and then feel it? You are asking for the rationalization of an abstract idea. Can you hold Joy and paste it up on your wall to have forever? Or can you grasp Fear, see it is harmful and throw it away? The spiritual side of man represents the side of him which is intangible and unable to be accounted for in physical terms. I cannot give you the rule book for experiencing me any more than you can take the square root of your impression of your dog ' s death, and divide it by your love for a pale shade of blue. Free yourself of all forces resisting God within you. It is only in a mind unclogged by man ' s scientific approach to spirituality that you can experience a oneness with God. Q. What is Eternal Life? We tend to associate heaven and eternity with God, the ageless grandfather surrounded by Peter Pan and other children who never grow up, lying on puffy clouds, smiling. CHRIST: Eternal Life is spiritual fulfilment, knowing God. These images are only the typical childhood association of happiness. They signify that Eternal Life is a state of perpetual happiness. They are, again, translations of a spiritual feeling into physical terms. You may find it encouraging to know that a great deal has been lost in the translation. Eternal Life is the only real happiness man can experience. Q. What about the happiness man experiences on earth? CHRIST: Happiness on earth, is but an appetizing prologue to the happiness man will experience after death. Earthly happiness can never be complete since it is bounded by time. Its moments of exaltation are followed by its moment of death. As we passed a bakery I caught sight of a little girl, chocolate smeared all over her mouth, eating an Easter bunny. Q. Jesus, will you, who loves man, come back to help him? CHRIST: I am, just as before, in the marketplace of Galilee. Nothing has changed. Will I come again? I remember walking in the wilderness knowing man cannot live by bread alone, being hungry. I felt nails rip my skin, jolt my bones. I came into the world to save the world from destruction. But they destroyed me. You ' d only kill me again- if not a wooden cross, an electric chair. j inda McQuaig 1 3P Year Book, 1970 Page 51 Thought If only we could experience death before life. We would know the peace and tranquility of death And keep people alive For the same reason we are killing them now. Janet Mowat 13P Nothing New But Something Learnt Building castles in the sand Or walking hand in hand Were far too much to ask of friends When all seemed lost and gone. I thought I understood about life, about people. But I only fooled myself; For I sought my friend. She was not real; For building castles in the sand Or walking hand in hand Were far too much to ask of her When all seemed lost and gone. Patti Thorn IIB I See Mommy, see the little brown girl. She sits beside me in school. She lent me her crayons today. Some boys were mean to her and pushed her down and she scraped her knees. I helped her up. Wasn ' t I good? Mommy, can she come home for lunch with me tomorrow? .... Why not? .... Oh, I see.

If your health concerns you not The health of others really ought. Your cough, your yellowed finger nails. Friend, smoker dear, it never fails To nauseate a someone who Hates that certain smell of you! At parties, air is smoky blue. My lungs feel like a chimney flue. Post party, then this thought I rue— We smell as if we ' re smokers too! My friends, I beg you give some thought. Must your children all be taught. Must you say your whole life through, ' ' Do as I say, not as I do! ' ' ? Barbara Shykoff 9A Year Book, 1970 Page 53 COMPLIMENTS OF A IOC FATHER Sadness Sometimes Fm filled with such incre dible sadness That it covers my thoughts with an invincible silence. And shrouds my feelings with a black silken veil Limiting their movements, clouding my eyes. Felix is selling oranges today By the gate of the Appleby County Fair; Nobody wants his oranges today But he still just stands there smiling. Felix is smiling, sadly, today His goldfish died and he doesn ' t know why; Felix is crying inside today But he still just stands there smiling. Felix leaves his post and goes Where the roses aren ' t yet fully in bloom. His sadness goes much deeper than that But I do wish he would stop smiling. Clouds Clouds in the sky lofty and unsociable drift aimlessly by Sometimes descending in a cold clammy mist to smother the sycamore trees and terrify the earth then they float away — wickedly happy. Caitlin Kelly 8A Rocks Martha Breen 9C A pattern was cast upon the wall from the lace curtains. The sun streamed in. Tiny shadows danced upon the window-ledge. And the ocean pounds and roars Upon the rocks of my memory. Spring flowers bending and nodding in the wind. Green meadows — the sweet smelling grass. All are lost as the ocean pounds and roars upon the rocks of my memory. Glorious moments filled with laughter and sunshine. Fleecy white clouds rolled across the contented sky. All vanished in the black of misery, As the ocean pounded and roared upon the rocks of my memory.

He is old and dying— the elm is dying too. Autumn has come. The few remaining leaves of the elm Are a dusty yellow. The eagle has returned to his tree this year They are going to die together— yet alone. A few straws Of the eagle ' s once proud nest remain His family has left him— He is alone. Spring has come! The flowers are blossoming The leaves on the trees are green once more. Except for one lone tree In the middle of a swamp- It has died. And gently cradled in its lifeless branches Lies an eagle— he has died too. Their two spirits are united at last; They are not alone! Sheelagh Hendrick 11 A Year Book, 1970 Page 55 DONATED BY FRIENDS The Broken Chain The moor was green — The green of summer emeralds; Living emeralds plucked fresh serene From trees of mossy age. The sky shifted Through bubbling vapours of opalescent gray ; Mirroring the sweeping hills That purpled, distant, in the far away. Silhouettes of sturdy ponies Dangled along the near horizon; Their very existence pasted To the veil of the heavens — A veil rent by the breath of ceaseless winds Hiding secret worlds of sunlight, wasted. Yet even here where Nature dwelt supreme. The mark of man was left, to seem A mockery on her lonely hearth, A fearful apparition, a deadly dream To gall her burning soul. Could it be that in this wilderness untamed, Man ' s pride was still unmaimed By that which brutally levels all Below the whispered promptings of vain culture But beyond vague terrors of wisdom ' s care? But No! the hand of man had but pressed The lingering grasp of Death ' s arrest And, being conquered by His cold fingers Had become from all antiquity a part of Her Whom it had scorned to know. And there the nameless cross of stone Lonely on the windswept moor Becomes that silent link of dust to bone. Nature to all humanity — From then, to now and all eternity. Elizabeth Baker llA Page 56 The Branksome Slogan SPORTS REPORT Ribbit the faithful frog (frog?) hopped into the pond of Branksome spirit and enthusiasm, with a mighty croak! However, his horrendous cry of Upward and Onward was barely heard amongst the students of Branksome. For the students of Branksome Hall are filled with mightier voices, than that of dear Ribbit. The halls of Branksome abound with the atmosphere of good sportsmanship, and fine spirit. Throughout the year, the sports and skills have varied, and throughout the year, the students have answered the challenge and joined the fun. Branksome you are vital, alive and enthusiastic! Never lose your spark! O ' Cal Lassies Came Home The eve of September twenty-sixth, Saw in the Branksome halls. Some thirty girls in Branksome shirts Bloomers and overalls. That fateful time had come again When Old Girls play once more. In shortened skirts and hobbled hair To win the highest score. Marilyn Jar vis with sparkling eyes. Barb Scandrett cheeks aflame. Returned to show we Branksome girls That Grads still play the game! Judie Fear on— from above— The basketball did aim; And Cindy and Sue returned to play. Recalling their mascot fame. Though P G gave a noble try. And fought right to the end. The New Girls in their form supreme. Their title did defend! Barbie Kofman 1 2A J.O ' CALLAGHAN ' S GREATEST INTEREST Page 58 The Branksome Slogan THIS SECTION IS SPONSORED BY THE SENIOR SCHOOL THE GATHERING OF THE CLANS Proud banners urged eight clans to that famous battle ground, the Lower Field. Each member was loyal; each competitor was out to conquer. Never had the tug of war rope been tugged tighter, or the sack-race sacks been scraped harder. Excitement mounted, as each girl raced to complete the Scavenger Hunt. As hidden prefects lazed on the ridges, their fellow war- riors searched the grounds, dug up worms, or taxed their memories. After the dust had settled, the clans await- ed, tense, expectant. Suddenly the announcement rang out, and the Scotts raised a victory cry. A moment later, it was echoed in the ranks of the runners-up, McLeod, McLean and Douglas. The girls were exhausted, clan spirit was high, and peace was declared, once again. A MacLEAN We Try Harder! School ended in June 1969 with MacLean in third place! After a very enthusiastic start this year, it appears that although we don ' t have all the great talent, we most definitely do try harder. I have been thrilled with the spirit the clan has shown. At basketball try-outs, gatherings and games, support has been overwhelming by most of you. This term already the numbers at all-comers are rising, so although we aren ' t placing first, we do try. . .harder! In November three very active and enthusi- astic girls were nominated for clan sub-chief- tains. Our choices were great— Vickie Anglin, Carol McLean, and Mary Jane Robertson. In the final vote you chose a McLean for McLean. Carol is already doing a great job. This year we still have inter-clan volleyball, baseball, badminton, debating and track and field. Between Carol and I and you, we hope to prove that trying harder does bring success. Sheila Mclntyre Campbell Clan Report Ne Obliviscaris (Lest you forget) Lest I forget this most memorable year. You ' re all so encouraging and never do fear The clan gatherings, swim meets and basketball games. And you ' re ready to cheer our great clan on to fame! Then came the elections of your new clan sub-chieftain. We all were excited to see who would win, Sybil Pope Jill Simmonds, and Sara Watt the great three, Congratulations to Jill! Ilow fantastic you ' ll be! And now we are ready to challenge a new term, With volleyball, badminton and bowling to learn, The spirit and support I know will continue. What more can I say to you all but THANK YOU! ! Love, Hal lie The Branksome Slogan ROBERTSON CLAN REPORT The year started off well with freeshots. Each girl was allowed ten shots and the number of baskets throughout the week were added up and put towards points for the clan. When the basketball team came bouncing in, the result was a tie for all the clans. The enthusiasm was great, the girls all tried their hardest, and we, the Robertson Clan enjoyed every minute of it. Katherine Stuart Douglas Clan Report Clan Gathering: fifth place Basketball: Both teams reached the semi-finals Clan Swim Meet: Seventh place (we still had not got over our great efforts in basketball!) Clan Nominations: Nancy Robinson, Patti Thom, Pat Wilson Clan Sub-Chieftain: Patti Thorn The stakes were down, we had the team To show up well at the Gathering. We came up fifth, doing well. But in truth, the spirit was what did tell. Fantastic!! In Basketball our aim was high Our shots were off— we hit the sky. The semi ' s were our final game. But our spirit still portrayed our name. Terrific!! Our swimming placed a second last. The teams were good, but not too fast. BUT speed is not the thing that counts. It ' s the spirit for fun that mounts and mounts. From nominations, Patti Thom Was the girl to be picked to help along. In volleyball, tennis we ' ll take first place. With spirit, talent and a certain grace? Forward Douglases! ! Love, Patti Year Book, 1970 MacGREGOR CLAN REPORT Our Race Is Royal MacGregors this has been our year! It takes a lot more spirit, skill and hard work to rise from the bottom than it does to stay at the top but MacGregors you ' ve proven it can be done and so far this year we ' ve gone nowhere but up! Although, we were defeated at the gathering of the Clans, we retaliated quickly to win first place at the swim meet. Our junior basketball team kept up the effort to win the championship and thereby gain us second place in term basketball. The constant enthusiasm for after school sports can be seen by one glance at a MacGregor sports list. We not only had fun but also tallied enough points to secure second place in sports atten- dance. Yes, for MacGregor things are certainly looking up; in only one term we raised our overall standard from last to third place. In choosing our new sub-chief tan it seems we came out ahead again. Wendy Baxter was elected and she is doing an excellent job. All in all it has been a great term for MacGregor. I congratulate you on your achievements, and thank you for your effort and enthusiasm, and with complete confidence, wish you a successful and happy future. Reed McLeod Report Ours is the banner of yellow and black. We feel it should be on the top of the stack. So filled with vim that our spirit runs over. It led us to victory in Read Acres ' clover. Next came the basketball out of the blue That challenged our sportsmanship— at least showed us true. We went on to swimming, not losing our cool. Swam, jumped, and shouted— near swallowed the pool! The next big event was the sub-chieftain election With three nominees from our first-rate collection; Judy and Martha got into the fray Making the contest keen all the way. But Carolyn Piper in good clan tradition With hard work and gusto has won the position; To her goes best wishes from every McLeod, We hope that next year shell have cause to be proud. Hold Fast! Love, Cathie Page 62 The Branksome Slogan McALPINE CLAN REPORT ' ' Guinich Bas Alpan ' ' We have more girls and more spirit than ever before this year. With their help McAl- pine is doing very well. If we have not come in first in games then we have come first in attendance and enthusiasm. There have been a great many sports events this year. In September we placed a close fifth in the gathering of the clans with absolutely fabulous spirit. Then in November th e swim meet was held and Mc Alpines this time bettered their score and placed fourth. The inter-clan basketball this term was a dead loss to McAlpine but we came back stronger than ever to place second in the basketball shoot. To finish off 1969, we placed fourth in sports attendance and fifth over all. Late in November we had our clan sub- chieftain elections and our nominees were Mary MacMillan, Becky McKenzie and Betsy Kofman; three great prospects! Congratulations and good luck to our new sub-chieftain Betsy Kofman. We are all looking forward to a really great year in 1970, and lots of luck to Betsy and to all of you. Becky BRUCE CLAN REPORT Since the first clan meeting Bruce has had great fun. October was the free-shot week, in which there was a challenge from grades two to eight with the total score of 753 points. The basketball team, had great enthusiasm and kept us tied for first. Even Slogan week was a fantastic success. To that I wish to add the best of luck to you all— the best clan ever! Cathy Gibson Year Book, 1970 Page 63 SCOTT CLAN ' ' Amo Probos ' ' Dear Scotts, I remember that during the summer of 1969 I was looking towards the school year with fear and apprehension. Sometimes I wonder if my fears were not unfounded! You ' re a wild bunch of kids and I think you ' re absolutely terrific. Enthusiasm on your part has made this a great year for Scott and for me. We placed first in the Clan Gathering in September and our over sixteen basketball team was victorious in October. With the aid of Scotty, our new clan mascot, we came in third in the cl an swim meet, an event in which Scott usually manages to place in the top eight! As December came upon us, it was time to give the clan a present. Her name was (and still is) Tony Falconer, our new sub-chieftain, who ran against two other great girls, Buzzy Mitchell and Ellen Moffat. I only hope that you ' ll give next year ' s chieftain as much support as you ' ve given me— it has been absolutely fantastic. Don ' t forget to keep fighting Scotts! Luu to you all, Sylvia THE GRANT CLAN Yea Grant!! We have been putting up a great fight! Just about everyone in the clan turned out to shoot their ten free shots, for the staggering result of 802 points. Your enthusiasm and team effort gave us the honour of being in 1st place — for a while anyway! Then you showed your worth by your numerous slogan contributions — mas- terpieces of art and literature!! Your team spirit tied us for first place in Basketball! Keep up the great spirit throughout the years to come! Yours truly, Hilary Monk and Daphne Seagram Page 64 The Branksome Slogan Ross Happiness is having 52 wonderful enthusiastic Ross clan girls so very well talented to make this year very special and successful! There we are Ross gathered together in September for the first clan gather- ing of the year. Security is knowing you have the right number in ah the races! We were ready for anything and certainly tried our best in everything. Your spirit and support were the best; even though we placed sixth we were off to a pretty good start! October brought us into basketball and we came on in full force. Happiness is knowing we really did get all those baskets and placed first! Then our teams went into action, we met every challenge and both teams charged forth into the finals. Even though we were defeated, we were tough competition for ah! Security is having the best teams and spirit. Even Rosco our mascot helped too. Next we proved ourselves great swimmers. We splashed a lot and paddled hard to place second. November brought three nominees for clan sub-chieftain. It was a tough and close decision and Cindy Hodgson was elected and I know she is eager to keep our super spirit running on. Good luck Cindy! I would like to thank aU of you for such a fantastic, rewarding year. Congratulations Ross, without your co- operation, full support and enthusiasm we would not have been so successful! Happiness is Ross! gj .j Year Book, 1970 Page 65 FIRST BASKETBALL P. Smythe, J. Crawford (in picture) (Capt.), M. Clarke, C. Piper, J. O ' Callaghan, D. Hall, B. Kofman, S. Bolte, D. Gibson (in picture) FIRST BASKETBALL TEAM REPORT Twice upon a time, short short ago, in the queendom of Gorry-Perr, there was an unsuccessful troupe of players (asketballbay, that is). Queen Gorry-Perr cowomanded them to come befive her. She tapped her wagic-mand on the head of Judy Crawford and, begup, she became curmaculously the captain. Threegether, they learned the tactics of asketballbay. They played in day-play at Havergal and defooted all other teams. Then they met each team separately, and by the unbeginning of the year they two the cup!!! Thus the spool schirit and the wagic of the Queen helped the troupe off to victory. And all lived unsadly after ever. Debbie and Patti Pago 66 The Branksome Slogan Year Book, 1970 Page 67 FOURTH BASKETBALL Front row: N. McDougall, P. Gorman, L. Maclntyre (Captain) P. Yates, M.L.

FIRST VOLLEYBALL TEAM REPORT Branksome ' s first volleyball team proved to be the best in the round robin at B.S.S., when it tied for 1st place with Havergal. However the sportsmanship and spirit of the team and its ever faithful Ribbitites overruled that of any other school. It was a terrific season and we ' d like to express our warmest thanks to our personality-plus coach, Miss Perry-Gore, for everything she did. Congratulations to the team and everyone for making the round robin another Branksome victory. Deh Page 70 The Branksome Slogan INTERMEDIATE VOLLEYBALL C. Clark, P. Laugharne, M.J. Finlayson, A.

In the Royal Life Saving, an unusually large number of girls have passed their Medallion, Bar, Merit and Distinction. Their goal is the Cochrane Shield which is presented to the Ontario School which obtains the most points in Life Saving. In January the Swim Team began to train very enthusiastically. Unfortunately in the fun meet with Havergal the team was too over-enthusiastic in getting into the pool, with the result that they placed second. The team promises to try to control itself in the following meets. Due to the successfulness of last year ' s Swim Show, we will be working on another one to be done in the Spring. I would like to extend a hearty welcome to- our new coach, Mrs. Lumsden. The swimming section has been a very happy and cheerful one under her guidance and we would like to thank her for this very much. Jennifer Moffat (Team Captain) Said Mrs. Collins: An intelligent person works hard to reach the top and, when there, he realizes how little he knows. A less intelligent person works to reach the top, and then becomes Prime Minister.

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 fullness of Ufe be enjoyed.

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 groat up therel Going around bumping into strange birds; dipping and soaring whcnovor 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, 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. National Trust SINCE 1898 Page 94 The Branksome Slogan Having problems deciding what to do with your life? ' ' Most of us do.
