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.

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
