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

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.
