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. Affectionately, Cathy Page 6 The Branksome Slogan
