(Yes! lockers!) The school is committing itself to change, to progress, in an attempt to increase the number of assets it is already offering you. The essences of life at Branksome will still endure. The annual flood of spectators at Playday, the incredible overnight transformations prior to school dances, the playing, the learning and the ultimate maturing will go on. The Slogan is also undergoing a face-lift. We hope it will offer you a more creative and modern (yes! dull paper!) yearbook, with not-so-instant- replays of the year ' s activities. The conspiracies of camera day, the conquests of our teams, and the facets of daily life which can be captured by pen or camera will last as long as the new un-shiny paper. In addition you will enjoy, we hope, the New Improved Product of a hard working group of girls who have tried to make each page and each report interesting rather than compulsory. We may have failed. However, our legacy is that like others before us, we have attempted some changes. We have left you heirs to build on our innovations, to improve on our mistakes and to progress. You can be one of two kinds of people. You can be a person who has never failed . . . who has never succeeded either, but who, by never attempt- ing to progress may exist with no failures behind her. On the other hand, you can endeavour to improve what you already have, risking possible failure. No progress — no moon landing, no medical discovery, no political change could ever have been achieved without people willing to take risks. Give of yourself! Do not merely exist. Contribute. In participating in the activities of the school, in trying to bring about constructive changes, and in making the effort to leave, your personal contribution behind, be it by helping some one who needs you or by trying to better an existing institution, you are committing yourself to necessary progress. The following pages are coloured by your personalities. With your support, with the helpful guidance of Miss Forsyth and Mrs. Campbell and with the generous hours of Slogan staff, we offer you your best. Good luck and keep smiling. Sheila. Page 4 The Branksome Slogan HEAD GIRL ' S MESSAGE As this year closes, I look back over many years at Branksome. Strange and exciting things have occurred in this time for me, but now I want to focus on this year. For the first time some of our prefects were elected in September. This step, as well as the abolition of sub-prefectship led to the unity of a prefect group who have headed your school activities and have listened to your many, enthusiastic ideas. Many other signs of growth are evident. Ribbit was married; the number of girls in the chancel at the Carol Service in- creased (and space decreased); all five basketball teams, under Sylvia ' s friendly guidance, worked together to bring home the cup; and in February Miss Sime climbed atop a steam shovel (!) and dramatically turned the sod for the new wing on Main House. The junior girls, too, achieved much this year. Their Slogan contributions were innumerable; their teams were ex- cellent and their spirits always alive. I thank you all, from the smallest kilt- clad grade two girl to the oldest graduate, for your support. One aspect of Branksome life has changed very little — boarding. Some- where a bed will always be found apple-pied; kids will always (despite exuberant ? checks) skip walk. There will always be burgers or a similar substitute, and there will always be rules. So, boarders, take it from a veteran. Make the most of boarding. You have many opportunities to meet people; you don ' t have to walk far to school and there will always be meals you like (or dinner leaves). If all fails, think of boarding as an experience. It helps. This year has been one of growth and fun. For me, it has been one of my happiest and one I will never forget. It is all of you, with your cheerful- ness, enthusiasm and support that have made it so special for me, and I thank you for it. Sandi. Year Book, 1971 Page 5 My dear Girls, To the east of the Main Building there is now rising a new wing to which we have all been looking forward for more than a year. It is exciting to see the activity of the construction site and to measure every day the progress that brings us closer to occupying our fine new facilities designed to modernize our teaching and our administrative scene. The purpose is obviously to make Branksome a better school but I think we must all be reminded that bricks and mortar will not of themselves make us better no matter how modern or how elegant their arrangement. We will make true progress only if we progress as people and if we use our new quarters to that end. The Resource Centre must show us a wider world and make plain our responsibilities in it; the French Laboratory should be the place where we achieve a genuine feeling for Canada ' s second language and an ambition to comprehend an ancient culture as well as its manifestations in our own country; the New Science Laboratory will give us further opportunity to open our eyes to the wonders of our expanding knowledge of nature; the Home Economics rooms will emphasize the essen- tial position of women at the centre of our culture, in the home. Just as the new offices will be only as efficient as the people who work in them, so will the whole building be only as vital as its inhabitants. From the effort of many hands we receive a handsome new addition to our physical plant but if we are truly to build a better school, we must work the miracle ourselves by our devotion to that spirit in which the project was conceived — a spirit of faith in the corporate body of Branksome and in its contribution to the future. Yours affectionately.

This club works through nnany well-known organizations such as Mysore, Cansave, Unicef, The Canadian Save the Children Fund, Oxfam, and Canairelief. As well as contributing to these worthy causes the United Nations Club also contributes to a few organiza- tions in Toronto such as Bloorview Hospital. Last year we adopted a little Turkish boy through the Canadian Save the Children Fund. He thanks the United Nations Club in his own way. Here the weather is very cold. I suppose we shall have a very cold winter. Here in Istanbul there is a cholera epidennic, we are all vaccinated, but now the epidennic has died out. The doctors tried very ha rd. Thank you very much for your help. I was very happy to receive it. May you live long. I always pray for you. I wish you success. — Ahmet Erol Barulday. Sybil Pope, 12. President — Sybil Pope Vice-President — Katie Houston Secretary Treasurer — Leslie Mclntyre U.N. DELEGATION REPORT This year Branksome Hall represented the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The girls enjoyed learning about their country. Did you know that Holland is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, or that the National Holiday is celebrated on the Monarch ' s birthday? The founder of the Model Assembly came and spoke to the students on Sunday, February 7th, at the Assembly. He stressed that debating was a good way to practise speaking in front of people and that a large number of students from each school was needed to represent the countries success- fully. Consequently I hope that next year Branksome Hall will have a really large delegation. Katy Houston, Vice-President.

They may yellow and curl In the span of time But somehow they remain faithful to forgetful minds. A carol, the church, and the exuberant voices of both young and old. Reaching for heaven in the soft, golden light of a chancel choir. These clear, sharp memories are but pictures in time somehow remaining faithful to an ever growing mind. Patti Thom. Page 16 The Branksome Slogan INSTALLATION IMPRESSIONS Tradition and cerennony. Red kilts and blazers and tartan banners. Red, green, black, and white school flags — Truth, honesty, justice, and purity. Prefects ' pins and the Head Girl ' s oath. Seven hundred girls in one small church. Mrs. Shykoff reminded us all that: There is no better place to be a miser- able teenager than at Branksome. Make the most of your own abilities; learn to cook! The symbolism and tradition of our crest and tie pin were ex- plained to us. But the Installation is not wholly tradition. It should be an expression of the ideals of the school, and these are as valid now as in 1903. Because an institution is old, it is not necessarily without value; and it is dependent on those who participate to make the Installation meaningful to the girls today. Joanne Cook, 1 1.

Year Book, 1971 Page 17 THE SENIOR CHOIR There will be a choir practice today at 3:00 in the music room. Don ' t forget to bring a pencil. These words may not be famous enough to be put into a book of quotations but they have been repeated for years and years by Branksome ' s choir presidents. Often these words are not enthusiastically received by choir members who, still yawning, think how long the day is going to be. We have all felt this way at one time or another. If we resent this ninety minutes after school we have a miserable time, but if we think the practice will be fun, we enjoy it. And we faithful choir members keep returning year after year. The main reason for this loyalty must be that on the whole we enjoy it. Another very important factor is that the choir has spirit and unity. How else could we race ahead of Mrs. Coutts in the Carol Service, all go sharp, and still end up singing in harmony? To work with Mrs. Coutts has been an ex- perience we shall long remember and appreciate. Her love of music and her leadership is an in- spiration and is always evident in the Branksome concerts. Although there are many Wednesdays when she must feel depressed at our efforts, she always has a ready smile and seems to love us in spite of our mistakes. Our thanks must also go to Mrs. Cook who unfailingly keeps us on key and who always has a story ready to tell when the opportunity presents itself. I have enjoyed this year tremendously! Buzzy, Pam, Betty, Jill, Heather, Pat, Liz, Wendy and Ann have worked hard — they could not have been a better exec . We would all like to thank the choir for a super year — we think you are great!

Tilt Vice-President Marnie Griffith President, Cathie Stewart OPHELEO SOCIETY The main purpose of the Opheleo Society is to help others who are less fortunate than we. During the last few months we have had several oppor- tunities to do this. Our first project began in September when we sent Christmas cards enclosed with a balloon or a ribbon to children in India. At that time we were able to send over three hundred and fifty cards to the Ramabai Mukti Mission. In October, the most important project of all was held. The appealing aspect about Ramabai Week was that everyone, staff and students were involved. Besides the usual bake sales and handicraft sales, there was also a volleyball game between the Branksome prefects and the St. Andrew ' s first football team. The girls, of course, were victorious! (?) Poor Mr. Hudson became very involved in Ramabai Week when he was kidnapped and held for ransom! The devious criminal, however, Dead-Eye Claxton, was appre- hended and placed safely behind bars. The week ended most successfully with the Ramabai dance. Altogether we collected eighteen hundred dollars, the most ever raised, during this week. This money was then divided among fourteen agencies and churches. We have several other projects which will keep us busy for the rest of the year. First of all, we collected toys, which were then distributed to needy families for Christmas. After Christmas, the pictures from used Christmas cards were cut off and sent to both the Ramabai Mukti Mission and the Ontario Crippled Children ' s Centre. Eyeglasses, both lenses and frames are collected and sent to the Caribbean to be re-made for school children there. At the present time, we are beginning to prepare for Lent. At that time, we will collect money to be used by two missionaries who are helping others help themselves. This, too, is what we try to do through the Opheleo Society. We would not have been able to accomplish nearly as much without the aid of Miss Baker. To her and all the other people who have helped this year, I extend my hearty thanks. Through their help we have been able to live up to the meaning of Opheleo — I serve. Page 22 The Branksome Slogan DEBATING REPORT There is a fine club at our school. Which was formed for the art of dispute. Our aim is to argue, for and against. And to win the debate we refute. To make our debut this year. We did witness a staff-student clash. The platinum profs said blonds have more fun. But the students dismissed it as trash. The feminist fever raged through the halls. Bringing forth a great loss of affairs. And all the Kate Millets fought for their rights. Thus to show just how deeply they care. Two trios who took up this cause Showed their skills as they vied with the best, ' Cause males were the foes in this heated dispute. For at Applebee, Trinity we were guests. Each week different grades made a stab At some issues of current concern. There was marriage, ambition and the loss of our mores. And in them, we found much we could learn. Our future is no less inspiring. For in French les equippes se disputent. We ' ll try to uphold the goals we ' ve set. And to Mrs. McRae for our wins we ' ll salute.

Year Book, 1971 BRANKSOME HALL FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED A most important and necessary step so far as the future of Branksome is concerned has been taken. Following the lead of the vast majority of successful North American private schools the Board of Directors has established a fund to be known as the Branksome Hall Foundation. Alumnae, parents of present students, parents of past students and friends of the School are being actively solicited for contributions by a dedicated group of volunteers. The aim of the Foundation is to generate funds which will enable the School to keep pace with educational advances, retain a superior staff and maintain its firmly based high standards. Branksome has never before had to resort to a financial campaign and the wonder is that this has been post- poned for so long. It speaks very well for the management with which the School has been blessed. However, increased tuition fees which are still maintained substantially below the levels of similar private schools in Ontario can no longer provide all the funds to meet the legitimate demands. Govern- ment assistance to private schools has not been forthcoming and cannot reasonably be expected. Teaching facilities must be kept up to date and extended, a proper and improved remuneration basis for teachers and a sound bursary program must and should also be provided. These are the expressed objects and purposes of the Foundation. The fund will be administered by a group of Trustees who will be answer- able to the Board of Directors. It will be a continuing and open-end fund with new subscribers being added annually as they qualify for one of the categories being asked for donations. Any donation whether in the form of a one-time gift, a pledge to give annually over a certain number of years, any combination of these, or a provision in one ' s will leaving a bequest in favor of the School will be most welcome regardless of size. It is the hope that the largest amount being received into the fund each year will be in the form of pledges given on an annual basis. It can readily be seen that the appeal is directed to those who must believe in the private school concept and earnestly desire its continuance. To these people Branksome should mean something quite special. The success of the efforts being made will guarantee the bright future that lies ahead for the School. The assistance of everyone is required if the campaign is to be successful. Anyone wishing further information need only address the Foundation, care of Branksome Hall, 10 Elm Ave., Toronto 287, Ontario. Marshal Stearns, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES IN THE RESIDENCE A colourfully staged Puppet show, with bright and black lighting effects, presenting Faust , produced much enjoyment and a service of a different calibre. Cadets Mr. and Mrs. J. Watt, The Salvation Army Training School were responsible for this pleasant evening. Ministers from neighbouring churches very kindly gave of themselves and their time to hear our questions and discuss them with us. In addition to these, we had visitors from the Far East, the Near Eas t, including Tripoli and Eritrea, as well as friends involved in the living problems of Toronto and area, such as Mrs. Jean Lumb and Miss Margaret Avison. A visit to the Church of St. Simon the Apostle permitted us to hear the pre-Advent Christmas carol service and on several other Sunday evenings. Staff and girls from Branksome shared music and poetry with us around the fireplace. Page 28 The Branksome Slogan Remember Mrs. Coulter and the orange juice?

The Alumnae welcomes your enthusiasm and young ideas. Last fall the Alumnae held a Dinner-Dance at the Rosedale Country Club, and while the numbers were small, the enjoyment was great. Later in Novem- ber we sponsored a successful Art Show, with the help of Mrs. Ruth Upjohn and Miss Dorothy Seixias. These two affairs, along with an evening fashion show at Yorkdale Shopping Centre in March, allowed us to con- tribute to the Branksome Foundation Fund, continue on with our donation to a tuition grant and bursary, and begin helping with the Junior School Library. This fall is our bi-annual bazaar. While this affair helps us to raise money for Alumnae donations to the school, it also allows Alumnae, Parents and Friends to work together on a mutual interest — Branksome. Our spring Newsletter has been mailed to nearly 2,800 Alums in all parts of the world. In the fall, the Grads of ' 71 will receive their first copy. It is up to you to let us know YOUR news, whether it be a new address, name, or just plain what you are doing . This information should be directed to the Alumnae Registrar in care of the school. Many new interests are waiting for you as graduates, but do not forget to continue doing your thing for Branksome. GOOD LUCK. Katherine A. Staples, President.

Lee Shropshire, 9J THE SUPERFLUOUS — A VERY NECESSARY THING Superfluous means being more than is needed or a state of over- abundance . Voltaire has stated that that which is more than necessary is actually necessary. How can this be the case? For an answer perhaps it would be best to examine first the surroundings of Voltaire himself. Voltaire is one of the greatest names surviving from an age of superfluity. He lived when a man wore a powdered wig and an embroidered frock coat, and a woman spent half the day in front of a mirror twittering with her maid who was the sorceress behind her elaborate bouffant coiffures. These hair styles eventually became so outlandish that climbing into and out of coaches became a struggle. In that era, every event of one ' s life, trivial or important, was organized after a formula of etiquette — etiquette being considered the essential factor of a well-bred society. There is no doubt that those years from 1690 to 1790 were years of superfluity, for in the strict physical sense of the word superfluous such outlandish mannerisms do play a part. However, despite their extravagance, those years were also enlightened and productive, seeing the great advances that mankind made in every direction. For did not that century produce the great thoughts of Voltaire and Rousseau, the immortal music of Bach and Handel, the revolutionary discoveries of Newton and Herschel, the fine paint- ings of Gainsborough and Chardin and the unalloyed writings of Alexander Pope and Moliere? These were indeed the resultant contributions of an age of superfluity. In searching for the answer in a wider scope, Voltaire ' s epoch was of no more superfluity than any other era in the history of mankind. Consider the North-American society of today. It is simply glutted with an overabundance of every imaginable commodity, from bread to literature. Consider Renais- sance Italy, where copious amounts of wealth from Florentine banking opera- tions resulted in a rebirth of Western thought and caused the fifteenth century writer Matteo Palmieri to exhort his fellow man to thank God that it has been permitted him to be born in this new age, so full of hope and promise, which already rejoices in a greater array of noble-gifted souls than the world has seen in the thousand years that have preceded it. Again consider the Roman Empire which eventually choked itself to death at the banquet it had made of almost all the known world. Egypt too, that colossus of a civiliza- tion, had an abounding supply of physical labour that allowed it to erect huge monuments to the memory of its kings. Even in twelfth century Japan the opulent leisure time of the upper classes gave women a chance to write complex, epic novels in their native Japanese language. In all thse examples those which are periods of superfluity are also mile- stones along humanity ' s road of progress; they have contributed to the knowledge of mankind in the important fields of science and the arts. Rome gave man a lesson and left a legacy in architecture and law. Egypt improved mathematics and donated a calendar. And the legacy of the present North- American civilization will be great, for already it has made vast strides in technology, medicine, in fact in all the arts and sciences. The converse is also true: haggard times grind men and civilization to a savage, unproductive despair. The truth of this is exemplified by the havoc which followed the death of the Roman Empire. All that Western man could do then was till the ravaged soil, from sunrise to sunset, thank the Almighty for the meagre returns and pray that he might die before the world collapsed utterly. There was no superfluity then. Nor is that chaotic period remembered Page 62 The Branksome Slogan as The Age of Enlightenment or of Progress, but rather as The Dark Age of Barbarian Europe. So far then it can be seen that an age of superfluity is also an age of boon to hunnankind. Thus superfluity is necessary to the betterment and refining of the human race. But what about the betterment of the human race? Is not this superfluous in itself? What about the arts and sciences? Is it absolutely necessary that man be able to view such works of art as the Pieta or the Mona Lisa ? Are the plays of Shakespeare and Moliere indispensable to the human con- stitution? Does the knowledge that he is not the centre of an all-compre- hensible universe provide man with shelter? Can a human being live on the music of Tchaikowsky and Chopin alone? These achievements do not supply man with food or shelter and therefor they are not absolutely necessary. Rather, they are superfluous. But, at the same time, they are necessary, very necessary to that part of man, whether it be soul or sensitivity that responds to beauty and rhythm and a wish to explore the unknown. Mankind, unfortunately, need never have advanced at all. He might have remained in a cave, half-human, half-beast, hardly rising above his instinct to use the humble tools of the ape. But he did not stagnate. He discovered the miracle of fire. He decorated the walls of his cave. He invented the amazing wheel. He gathered in small groups that grew into civilizations. He progressed. It is clear then that the whole passage of man ' s development has been due to the fact that he is never satisfied with the attainment of his needs. He always wants more and he always wants better. Now the characteristic of every great civilization seems to be the charac- teristic of man himself. No other creature on this earth has at its base such a paradox; a causal superfluity. Because of his innate dissatisfaction with any given state he has progressed. The superfluous — a very necessary thing. Voltaire summarized the elevation of mankind and its reason. This summarization will remain true as long as the human race is composed of men. Elizabeth Baker. Supposing you were really mentally retarded and everyone was just humouring you. Year Book, 1971 Page 63 Sailing I have felt the taste of the spray on my lips. And the feel of an icy hard sheet, As the boat clinnbs up the hard green swells. And plunges again ' neath nny feet. And the water comes pouring in over the rails. So I hike out as far as I go. But the boat, she is heeling, the centreboard ' s showing. Then up to the wind I must go. From windward to leeward like a pendulum sways The boat, and the sails flap wildly. The waves crash over the deluged deck. Then silence descends at last. Finally My stomach goes back to where it belongs. My frenzy dissolves, I breathe deeply, I look at the icy green water, and sigh. Then I back my jib, come about neatly. Barbara Shykoff, 10.

Remember Summer (1970) Remember summer — when it once did heal? How timeless were those days of Paradise; How rich our hearts, how young, to fear the vice Of base-born shadows longing to be real; Our pain was younger still than we: its sting Was easy drowned in liquid sun; the morn Was welcomed more than crystal hope reborn. And sleep was starry-brushed with velvet wing; Remember now, amidst these breathless days. Those others, far agone; there was a time When life could linger fresh, like frothy lime.

We made it out of string and logs To go on sailing through all fogs. That night we sailed around a cove. We wished we had a nice warm stove. Because it was a cold, cold night. But we sailed on with all our might. Soon we came to our destination. It was a wonderful sensation. We thought we ' d have to jump off or dive. We didn ' t think we ' d come out alive. Now we would have to go back to the dock Before we froze and got a shock. But we were happy and content. So on we hopped and away we went. I said This raft must have a name . The others agreed and in they came. We had a huddle and then I said This raft is now Titanic the Second. Tippy now was becoming the Titanic, And in great fear and panic. Off I jumped with a nice clean dive. But here I am, I ' m still alive. Celia More, Grade 6. Being in charge of the blind dates for a dance requires the skill of a tightrope walker. Matching the girls and their prospective dates is com- parable to having taken the first step from the tiny platform on to the less secure tightrope. But the worst is yet to come! It is on the night of the dance that the precarious journey is actually made. To fall off to the right hand side is to meet indignant boys who were anticipating Greta Garbo or Sophia Loren, only to end up with Mabel Flyworth or Priscilla Shwartz- bottom. But even worse to fall off to the left hand side is to plunge into the arms of disappointed girls who, expecting Paul Newman, had inevitably been stuck with Herman Schlitz. The greatest trick of all, of course, is to tippy-toe very quietly, dressed in the best incognito musterable, to the other tiny plat- form without being caught! Being discovered could be like that fatal step to a tight rope walke r, the end of a very promising career. Meatball, 13.

If advertisers can give me a good reason to buy their product, I will do so. But, having an obnoxious drooling child coaxed to cutely chuckle I love Heinz pasghetti cuz it tays on my poon annoys me. So does the ad in which an elegant woman draped in chiffon demurely climbs up a vine into her tree house and gracefully glides around dusting her furniture. This is not advertising. It is merely fourth class entertainment for an ignorant audience. Similarly, the use of sex to sell a product irritates me. I find the ad distasteful in which a man and woman tenderly kiss, filmed from close range in explicit detail and slow motion, while some advertiser soothingly drones in the reasons why his toothpaste is appealing. I find equally annoying the advertiser ' s telling me to use evaporated milk to transform a subdued husband into a sex fiend. When advertisers cannot present logical reasons for buying their products, but insist on selling-campaigns which are offensive and intellectually degrad- ing, I choose to be inattentive. I will not buy their products. Janis Carrie, Grade 8. Sheila Mclntyre, 13. Page 80 The Branksome Slogan THIS PAGE DONATED BY RECORD TREASURY.

And most were so well educated Most took up professions; One special day when they ' d been there For many a thousand year. They called a gathering of their race So all would come and hear; A hush spread o ' er the multitude As one got up to speak, ' And as he stood among them : Their existence reached a peak; The time has come for us , he said, To question our rapport. We now can keep ourselves alive ' More years than e ' er before; We ' ve reached conclusions that have solved? Our poverty, thus theft. Our waters have been newly cleared. No air pollution ' s left; In short our world has reached a point It ' s never reached before. And yet we kill each other off In petty cardboard wars; This problem is our final one. On this we can agree. So if this treaty each man signs We ' ll live in harmony. The bells and singing never ceased! Each man stepped into line. Each man took up a pen in hand.

SILENCE Everywhere the slime and filth of garbage clothes the earth, and murky puce-brown rivulets swirl from backed-up sewers down the gutters until they join streams of a similar colour. These streams struggle forward through a maze of discarded tires, cans and bottles, towards the lake where the waste they carry mixes with that of the larger liquid body. The trees and bushes along the shore are bare, just as the trees and bushes farther inland are bare, not because it is winter, but because they are dead and rotting. Their branches no longer reach toward the sun, for the sun is never visible through the impenetrable and perpetual gray acidic haze. Here they are, all the trademarks of civilization, but something is missing. Where is the boom of the supersonic jet, the rattle of trains, the beep of car horns and where, finally, is the commanding voice of mankind? Have they all been silenced? Is this really the fate of our world or is mankind beginning to heed the warnings of danger by nature and by the scientists? Are we truly awakening to the peril of inaction against this danger, or are the recent stirrings of the populace against it only a temporary show of spirit soon to be overpowered by the more common human complacency? The threat of pollution has only recently grown to become one of the major menaces to man ' s existence, not because man did not pollute before this century, but because, with modern technology, the pollutants are pro- duced at a fantastically augmented rate. Before, nature was able to absorb and purify most of the wastes man disgarded, but now the types of waste produced have changed radically, and nature cannot handle them. This new inability of nature to adapt to man ' s pollution has given rise to the necessity of a change in man ' s attitudes towards nature. These attitudes are the result of some deep-rooted assumptions. Ever since Genesis I when God gave man dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth , man has taken his superiority over these other species for granted. He felt that he had the right to exploit nature since, in his eyes, nature had been created for his use and enjoyment. Closely related to this assumption of superiority is that of nature ' s inexhaustible bounty. Our scientific knowledge has disproved the basis for this supposition, but man continues in his belief that nature will somehow accommodate for the billions of tons of refuse poured into the air and sea every year. The last assumption is, perhaps, a direct hypothesis from the other two. Man seems to feel that economic progress is worthy of any sacrifice. Pollu- tion, to him, is just one of the prices man must pay for this progress. As long as profits and advances can still be made, all other concerns are of secondary importance. However, if we continue to capitalize on the richness we are given by nature, and to assert that our superior intelligence gives us the right to this exploitation, the universe will see the supreme tragedy of a transcendent species advancing so far as to cause their self-destruction. The smoky gloom of the future is not, however, completely devoid of light. A dim glow is beginning to become brighter as the public is awakening to the urgency for immediate action against pollution. Many citizens are joining forces in such organizations as the University of Toronto ' s Pollution Probe holding public inquiries into the causes and results of pollution and putting pressure on the government in order to get things done against those responsible. An example of their effectiveness is seen in the recent ban on Page 82 The Branksome Slogan DDT in Canada which was largely the result of the persistence of this group. The governments have taken up the cause against pollution and are devoting substantial portions of their budgets to cleanup schennes. These sums, how- ever, are meagre when one realizes that we are paying for damages sustained over many years. Is it possible that man is finally beginning to realize that his superior intelligence gives him, not the right to exploit nature, but the responsibility to care for it? Are people becoming aware of the fact that they must obey the laws of nature, just as all species on earth must obey these laws or else suffer extinction? Pray that they are, for just as the coo of the homing pigeon was terminated by man ' s carelessness so may this carelessness silence man ' s call. Will there be silence? Barbara Cross, 13.

SPORTS SENIOR SPORTS REPORT What can I possibly say to a group of kids who I know enjoy their sports, and have a great amount of fun showing everyone how com- pletely and utterly co- ordinated they are? I don ' t need to tell you all how wonderful you are — I think you know that already. But I will tell you one thing. Sports is just about the greatest thing that ever happened to this world. Take part whenever and wherever you can or else you ' ll be missing out on some- thing that is really worthwhile. You know, there was a famous poet who once wrote: If all the year were playing holidays. To sport would be as tedious as to work. Perhaps that was true for him, but for the girls from Branksome, it could never hold true knowing how you enjoy your sports, playing either seriously or just clowning your way through all-comers — gymnastics. I think it impossible for you to ever tire of sports. Keep in shape everyone.

The teams played extremely well and captured the playday title for the third year in a row. The first team played two games; one which they tied, and the other they won. The seconds played four games, winning three and tying one. Out of their four games, the third team won them all. Branksome was awarded an overall total of eighteen points, while Havergal, B.S.S. and St. Clements tied for second place with nine points each. St. Mildred ' s was in fifth place with three points. Way to fight Branksome teams and supporters! Buzzy. Page 94 The Branksome Slogan THE OLD GIRLS ' BASKETBALL GAME Friday, September 18th was the night that the Old Girls once again returned to Branksome to challenge the invincible First team. From the Old Girls we welcome back such favourites as Linda McQuaig, Cathy Gartha, Clayton Stuart and Terry Chambers who challenged — Lead Foot Kofman, Spit Spat Spaulding, Twinkle Toes Smythe, Hot Lips Pos and Lightning Bolte. During half-time, while many tired muscles and aching bones rested, 11 R9 put on several skits which added colour to the game, but which also ended in an out-and-out brawl between the New Girls and Old Girls. The game itself was really exciting and both teams played well, but — surprising as it may seem — the Old Girls won! 69V2 to 69. Congratulations, Old Girls! Sandra Bolte. Branksome vs. Havergal 32-32 First Team Without really losing our spirit, we held on to the one tie of strength and teamwork between us and won.

We helped in winning the Basketball Cup, but probably would not have succeeded without the help of our coach Susan Butler. We won most of our games but not all! It was not all work because we also had a tremendous amount of fun. We hope next year ' s 5th team will have all the success we did. Patti Abraham Page 98 The Branksome Slogan JUNIOR SPORTS REPORT First I would like to thank the Junior School for its enthusiasnn and participa- tion in this year ' s activities. The fifth basketball team with the help of the fabu- lous senior school brought the trophy back for another year. The volleyball team was also victorious and I am sure that the baseball team will bring home victory. Even the swim team will, I am sure, do well. To me this year will be good for everyone! Cathy JUNIOR VOLLEYBALL Big or small, we beat them all. Thanks, team. Anne. BHS vs Havergal — 15-0, 15-1, 15-6, 15-12. BHS vs BSS — 15-8, 15-6. BHS vs St. Clements — 15-0, 15-2.

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 great up there! Going around bumping into strange birds; dipping and soaring whenever he wanted; nobody telling him what to 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 National Trust way to fly. SINCE 1898 Page 108 The Branksome Slogan MAKE YOUR NEXT OUTING A HUGE SUCCESS!
