UNITED NATIONS CLUB REPORT The United Nations Club is an inter-school organization for any girl who is interested in helping others. 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. Year Book, 1971 Page 13
