Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 166 of the 1972 volume:

The Old Order Changeth, Yielding place to new — Tennyson Branksome Hnll S10Cni1 72 Has anyone got an extra middle ? E. Coutts SLOGAN Editor-in-Chief Literary Editor Advertising Editor Art and Photography Editor Sports Editor Publicity Editor Junior School Editor STAFF COORDINATOR ADVERTISING ADVISOR Wendy Baxter Elizabeth Baker Janet MacMillan Ellen Moffat Betsy Kofman Jennifer Shirriff Kit Ashforth Miss S.F.R. Kenny Miss E.M. Forsyth We would like to express our appreciation for all the photography work which Ann Barnicke has done for The Slogan in the past two years. Editors Editorial On October 21st, 1971, the Honourable W. Ross Macdonald emerged from the front door of Main House and proceeded to the entrance of the Margaret Sime Wing where he officially opened the new building. That procession carried the spirit and enthusiasm of almost seven decades of Branksome life and firmly planted it in this modern structure. If these vital qualities had not been placed there something valuable from the past would have been lost. The attachment of the Margaret Sime Wing to Main House is not only a physical one. It is a joining of both the old and the new to provide an institution rich in ancestral traditions and modern facilities for every aspect of school life. Similarly, the editors found it necessary to reach into the past in order to present a Slogan rich in traditions yet modern in appearance. We hope you will notice the many significant changes. Most apparent is the book ' s harder cover. Also, we have experimented with a new type face and more imaginative class pictures. With these and other distinct differences, we have tried to make each page a reflection of your year at Branksome. We hope that when reading through this Slogan you will not only become aware of these changes, but also recognize in them your enthusiasm and that of your classmates. With your continued support, we can commit ourselves to further progress. Don ' t hold back! Contribute your ideas to improve upon the standards that have been set by your predecessors. We hope that we have been successful in giving the future editors a basis on which to build and improve. The editors, with the helpful guidance and infinite patience of Miss Kenny and Miss Forsyth, offer you the 1972 Slogan as a total reflection of your school year at Branksome. Page 4 The Branksome Slogan TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, Head Girl? Me? Never!!! The impossible happened June 7, 1971. This position has turned out to be one of the most challenging experiences of my life. Every Branksome girl has been through the many humourous, enjoyable, once-in-a-lifetime experiences that this school has to offer. You as v ell as I have learned from these many happenings. The first and newest venture I had as Head Girl was boarding. Having heard every imaginable story come out of the residence, 1 had a few reservations about giving up my status as a day girl. Boarding is a fantastic experience — one I ' m glad I haven ' t missed. Now, as a full-fledged boarder, I too can tell a mean tale. This year two exciting changes have taken place. The first development — and what a development! — was the addition of the new wing. I ' m sure every student felt the pride of being a Branksome girl as she explored the tremendous new aspects of the Margaret Sime Wing. The other is that the school is under the leadership of elected Prefects. We have never found our job dull and it has been wonderful working with your overwhelming support. Each Prefect inspired all those who were involved in activities with great enthusiasm. Lynn, BUzzy, Betsy and Ellen held many eventful grade meetings. Wendy and the Editors started on what appears to be a memorable Slogan. Carol and the Beta Kappa presented us with many entertaining and successful dances. Mary, the Opheleo and the School held a fattening up Ramabai Week. Mrs. Keyes and Mrs. Tweedy have been trying to help take the pounds off ever since. Patti and the basketball teams with the great help of Branksome ' s enthusiastic supporters brought the Inter-School Basketball Trophy home for the fifth year in a row!! Sheelagh has ably led the Library committee through the setting up of the new Resource Centre. Last, but never least. Kit has brought the Senior School closer than ever before to the always lively Junior School. 1 hope we have shown that elections are a good thing for Branksome. Every school function, from the thrilling Installation of the Prefects to the indescribably beautiful Carol Service, has been carried off with great success. I wish to thank everyone who has helped to make this year as wonderful as it has been. Good Luck to next year ' s Prefects — give them all your support. Up and on, Tony ■■■■■■jjjjjj (Gestapo — H H H l And the sense that the world is mad- Born with a gift of laughter, My dear Girls, At the risk of being repetitious I want to speak to you once more about doing your own thing . The privilege claimed by modern youth in the cant phrase is as old as time, and Cain asserted his right to it when he slew his brother as did Christ when he preached in the face of authority. My point is that the pejorative sense is not the only one which these words bear. What is wrong with doing your own thing if you choose the right thing? If you are a builder not a destroyer, if you are a helper not a hindrance, if you are a friend not a foe, who will blame you for pursuing your own way? It is only when doing your own thing becomes synonymous with self-indulgence and self-interest that it strikes at the roots of the social structure and, therefore, becomes your private crime against humanity. You have a choice to make, then, between giving and taking, between serving and demanding service, between supporting and undermining, and upon the balance of your decision hangs your happiness, your worth, your life. Take a minute now to remember Mr. Hudson. You have probably never known a man who did his own thing with such singleness of purpose. No circumstances turned him aside from it and no one could persuade him to change his way. But then his way was to be loyal, serviceable, generous and kind. He was a man to laugh with and a man to whom we all brought our problems. He was a man with a tremendous capacity for friendship and the hundreds of people whose lives he touched know that they have gained in humanity by knowing him. If this is doing your own thing, the world needs more of it and my highest hope for you is that you may find the utmost satisfaction in fulfilling yourselves in the well-being of others, that you too as you pass through the world may, in however small a degree, make it a better place. AU REVOIR One of the hardest things is to say goodbye, but at least we can say thank you to Mrs. Coulter, Miss Forder, Miss Gamey and Miss Murray for all they have done for Branksome. Year Book, 1972 Page? It has been a privilege for all of us at Branksome to have known Mr. Hudson. He embodied many qualities which we admire. In every way, he has been a true friend to the school. Those of us who have worked on The Slogan have particularly enjoyed our association with him.

Where everyone else isn ' t, over there. This is the worst grape drink I ' ve ever tasted. Let ' s go to the waterside. That gunk in the water depresses me. But look,here comes a swan! Let ' s go to the theatre. What fantastic seats! I don ' t believe it! Shshshshshsh,shshshsh,shshshshsh trumpet call Witches, fine Macbeth and Lady, better Banquo and superb Lady IVIacduff, roaring applause. You were a very receptive audience I assure you this is not a strip-tease Questions? roaring applause again. STRATFORD It surely was a bloody business! ' ' 71 Banquo ' s ghost was unreal! I could have sworn that guy was ballet dancing instead of fighting. I ' m glad I came. On behalf of Branksome and the bus drivers, I ' d like to thank you for the fantastic buns and everything. I ' ve always wanted to drive a bus! ' 1 ....2....3....4.... Oh good lord. I wonder why I can always hear what Jane is saying. Do you mind turning the light off? We ' re back Thank you very much, Mrs. Coutts, Mrs. Quigley. You ' re welcome! ' See you Monday So that was Stratford! ' I ' m still glad I came.

The comfortable and informal study areas have provided a relaxed and refreshing atmosphere for work. It has provided a challenge for the librarians who have helped organize it this year. The transporting of old books, the sorting of new books and the addition of a tremendous amount of new equipment has kept us very busy. I must thank Mrs. Dick and the librarians for tolerating my innumerable mistakes during my ' ' learning period. Their experienced aid was a great comfort to me in my moments of confusion and distress. It has been exciting taking part in the organization of a totally new aspect in the school. Sheelagh Year Book, 1972 Page 15 President — Mary Duncan OPHELEO REPORT Vice-President - Ann Morris Secretary-Treasurer — Ruth Wilson Committee: Cathy Bauckham, Leslie Bell, Karlyn Maitland, Gudrun Mueller-Wilm, Judy Wang, Mary-Alice Hewick, Alice Ho, Cecily Ugray, Cathy Simmonds, Lynn Houston, Vicki Lomax, Maggie Kilgour, Meg Morden, Sacha Cooper, Valerie Gilbert. The Opheleo Society has commitments both in Canada and overseas, and there is always the opportunity for new ventures. We aim ' to serve . At the beginning of the year, several of the girls in Grades Twelve and Thirteen went on tours of United Appeal Agencies, such as the C.N.I.B., Big Sisters ' Association, Visiting Homemakers ' Association, the Rehabilitation Centre and the Canadian Mental Health Association. Ramabai Week followed in October. Projects included a pizza and pop- corn sale, a car wash, grub day, a Cakewalk and do-it-yourself drinks . In spite of a few technical difficulties, the viewing of Farewell to Arms was a great success, with 1 1 RIO making the greatest profit. The week finished with the famous Ramabai dance. I ' d like to thank Carol and the Beta Kappa for their support in making the dance such a success. The Junior School also deserves thanks for their noteworthy contribution to this week. The grand total of just over $1400 meant that contributions could be sent to many different agencies, hospitals, missions etc. at home and abroad. Also, in October, we had a successful Christmas card drive, making new cards from old to send to the Ramabai Mukti Mission in India. There was also a great response in the Christmas project for Little Trinity Church. This was to collect toys for distribution to underprivileged children. As The Slogan goes to press, we are in the planning stages of the second fund-raising campaign, for we have accepted the responsibility of supporting Erol Barulday, the school ' s Turkish foster child. In closing, I would like to thank you all for the great help and support you have given us this year. I would especially like to thank Miss Baker for her invaluable help, advice and encouragement. Without everyone ' s support it would have been impossible to reach our goals and to extend the assistance we did. Mary Page 1 6 The Branksome Slogan Year Book, 1972 Page 17 Carol Service, 1971 Voices echoing . . . High unearthly in the shadowed arches Organ swelling Pageant unfolding With Robes rustling strange and rich. Yet still The voices dominate Soaring gold Calling shepherds Hailing Magi Praising Mother Lulling Babe. Soaring gold in the shadowed arches. Many thanks to Mrs. Cook for the Junior School; to Mr. Bodle, our organist; to Mrs. McRae for the pageant; and most of all to Mrs. Coutts for all the Monday and Friday mornings, for her patience and enthusiasm, and for being the person who makes the Carol Service possible. Joanne Cook, 12 The Branksome Slogan Choir Report Every Wednesday at three o ' clock, seventy girls converge on the Music Room to create ninety minutes of heavenly sounds. Sometimes, despite our good intentions, our ambitions are thwarted. But often, to our immense satisfaction, we mal e beautiful music. This year the choir has undertaken many more engagements than in previous years. In September, v ' e began preparing not only for the traditional Carol Service but also for an October service at St. Andrew ' s United Church. Our singing at St. Andrew ' s was very well received. Our cheerful performance at the Carol Service succeeded in reaffirming the great pride that Branksome has in its choir. The Christmas season was made doubly exciting for us when we repeated this performance at the Toronto Dominion Centre. This term we are preparing for a particularly active spring season. We have started to practice a wide selection of music for the Annual Spring Concert on April the twenty-eighth. From the choir a small group has been invited to sing at the Alumnae Dinner early in May. We also have a very exciting engagement May the twenty-sixth. We will be giving a demonstration of choral singing at York University at the meeting of the Ontario Choral Federation. Once again, Mrs. Coutts, with her unfailing enthusiasm, has been a special inspiration to us. We also must thank Mrs. Cook who holds the key for our singing. I would also like to thank Nancy, Heather and the rest of the executive for all their help. Sara Edmonds The Junior Choir- Thanks for a great year, girls, and I ' m sure many of you will enjoy the Senior Choir in future years. I hope next year ' s choir does as well as we have Karen T-D CENTRE CHRISTMAS PROGRAMME ] ill ma Sherbourne Report Hello, this is your friendly overseas maniac (English, that is). For those of you who have never encountered an English maniac before, I expect it ' s been quite an experience. Personally speaking, I love you all too. Since September, v ' hen Annette and I came over, I ' ve had a great year, as I thought I would. I know that Annette loved it here, and was very unhappy to have to leave after such a short time. So thanks everyone; it has been really good knowing you. Thanks to you too, staff, for trying to teach us, and to Miss Sime for allowing us to roam unchained in your school. To me, two of the big differences between Sherbourne School and Branksome were the proportions of boarders to day girls (Branksome has mostly day girls whereas Sherbourne has mostly boarders). There the houses are mixed, with the lower forms and the highest living together. Sherbourne seems to go in more for field sports, and indoor games such as squash, badminton, judo and fencing. Sherbourne has more facilities in music, but here Branksome somehow gives the impression of being more united. It would be hard to choose which I like best — perhaps more time at Branksome would decide for me! If you ' re ever in England, you ' re very welcome at home, so come and see me. Stay happy. Love, Kerry. Branksome ' s Debating Society got off the ground this year- Net with a whimper but with a bang. A battle of a green versus red — three noble prefects, loyal to their colour, carried the day. Our grade nines in good spirit learned the art of debate in classroom duels. To Ridley six girls and a busload went enthusiastically to dine and debate. They clashed swords over the freedom of negroes and whites and came home victorious. A cake and candy canes said Merry Christmas and ' thanks ' to all. Is happiness a houseful of children? U.T.S. gallantly opposed this resolve, but three Branksome debaters sent them to their defeat — by one point!! There was much laughter and the boy ' s spirits were revived with our famous chocolate chip cookies ! We sent a team to the Central Ontario Regional Finals and upheld the Branksome Spirit. Yet to come are tournaments at Ridley College (we still hold the Cronyn Trophy!) and U.T.S. Thanks ' to all and especially to Mrs. McRae for her loyal support and guidance. Janet Music Makers We are the music We are the dreamers Page 24 The Branksome Slogan Beta Kappa Report Branksome Dances have their own special advantages even though they may not be the highlight of your social season. They not only give you the opportunity to brush up on your social graces, but you also have the chance to develop the muscles in your toes. They also give you an excuse to invite that good looking boy you know will never ask you out. A Branksome graduate has an extra special appreciation for our soirees. Every grad. has had at least one ' ' memorable experience at a Branksome Dance. Remember the three mysterious ghosts at the Ramabai Rout and Cathy ' s nine hundred dollar date for the 4th and 5th? The Beta Kappa has worked long hours in the basement of Ainslie to produce the witch and the snowman. I owe thanks to my committee, Mrs. Gamey and the students for making this a memorable social season. Carol Experience is a good scliool, but the fees are high. — Heinrich Heine The Opening of the MARGARET SIME WING October twenty-first was a beau- tiful day for the voters of Ontario to elect their new government, but it held even more importance for all of us connected with Branksome Hall. The Margaret Sime Wing, which had been built between January and October, 1971, was ready for its official opening. As the girls of the school and all the guests assembled in front of the building, both honoured guests and prefects marched from the Main Build- ing to the front steps of the New Wing. Members of the board of directors stood near the clan chieftains. Nicholas Fodor, the Chairman of the Board; Mrs. Staples, the President of the Alumnae Association; Colonel Frank McEachran; Canon Hugh Bedford-Jones; Miss Sime; and the Honourable W. Ross Macdonald were members of the platform party for the ceremony. The Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, the Honourable W. Ross Mac- donald, made an excellent short speech about the Margaret Sime Wing, and ended by granting the students a special holiday in honour of the new wing! Canon Hugh Bedford-Jones dedicated the building, and the Lieutenant-Governor cut the ribbon. The new wing was officially open! The Margaret Sime Wing is a great addition to the school, with the new language and home economics labora- tories, the resource centre, offices and classrooms. Everyone connected with its construction has every right to be proud of its completion. Sarah Edinborough Year Book, 1972 RESIDENTS ' SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES The contemporary world was well reviewed at Sunday evening services as we viewed Ecuador and the work of Station HCJB in Quito, rural India, Hong Kong and Thailand, as well as having a visit by slides to an Ontario summer camp and hosting those involved in inner-city of Toronto mission work. Among the people who gave of their time to us were Dr. and Mrs. D. Harrison, Thailand; Col. and Mrs. John Nelson, recently returned from Hong Kong; and Patrol-Sergeant Mrs. Gladys Jolly of the Youth Bureau, Metropolitan Toronto Police. Depicting various walks of life were representatives of the Salvation Army, a medical doctor, the president of a large business firm, a church organist, a secondary school teacher, a camp nurse and a minister. Each of these demonstrated the purpose of the Christian life as he (or she) experienced it in every-day living. With the able leadership of the Head Girl, the warm-hearted support of the House Prefects and the cooperation of the girls, the complementing requirements of the Sunday evening services were expedited, making the evening worship a time to be remembered. A MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNAE The fact that this note is being written in January, but will not be read until June, brings to view just how fast time flies and how organized our lives have become. This will become more obvious to you in the next several years as you begin a new phase of your life. Right now, most of you are living at home, but soon many of you will move out on your own. This will mean a change of address — one of many in the next few years. We who are associated with the correspondence end of Branksome, hope that as you move from your own apartment, marry, move from an apartment to your first house, that you will keep in touch with us. Branksome is known for its school spirit which all of you have felt during the past years. The Alumnae renew this spirit with their functions. Our Bazaar in the fall enabled us to provide pianos for the Junior and Senior School. Our Annual Dinner will be held on Wednesday, May 3rd, and we hope that all of the graduating class will join us. We also send out a newsletter twice a year, hence the need to know where you are living. Many new interests are waiting for you as graduates; however, do not forget the fun that you can have, and the help that you can give as Branksome Old Girls . Good Luck from all of us. Katherine A, Staples, President Page 30 The Branksome Slogan BRANKSOME HALL FOUNDATION - YEAR 1 A year ago the Branksome Hall Foundation was established and the first appeal for donations was addressed to alumnae, parents of students (both past and present) and friends of the School. In adopting this measure, the Foundation hoped to increase the revenue that Branksome could depend on each year. A course was being followed that had already been tried successfully by similar institutions in the United States and more recently by comparable private schools in Canada. The decision to set up the Foundation was arrived at reluctantly, but the reasons were compelling. On one side was the continued refusal of government agencies to assist the independent schools financially and the impracticability of continually increasing student fees. On the other side, a scale of salaries for teachers that would compete with those paid in the public schools and provision for new and modern teaching facilities were most essential if the School were to retain and enlist superior staff, keep abreast of educational advances and techniques and maintain the highest possible standards which have always prevailed at Branksome. The Foundation now (mid February 1972) stands in round figures at $153,000, which includes $82,000 received in the form of cash donations, $40,000 in the form of pledges and approximately $31,000 from the incorporation of other school funds dedicated to the same purposes as those of the Foundation. The monies have been invested and already some solid results are discernible. Income has provided three new bursaries and allowed five of the already existing twelve bursaries to be substantially increased. There is now a total of fifteen bursaries available and this number will be increased in the next school year. In addition, and using income only, a large number of much-needed books for the library have been bought and important new pieces of teaching equipment installed. But there is still much to be done. The fund is a continuing one that must always be raising its sights as the needs become more and more urgent. Its success depends on the participation of all those who wish it well and who recognize the need to subscribe. While individual gifts have been very generous, the number of donors has been disappointing. Any donation is not only acceptable but also most welcome and can be made on an annual basis with a pledge covering subsequent years, or by way of a single gift. Annual giving is becoming established practice in other schools, and it is hoped that when one is revising or drawing up one ' s will, Branksome ' s need will not be forgotten. All donations are tax deductible. The importance of the Foundation to the future of the School cannot be exaggerated. A good start has been made, but it must be continued. The capital will grow and with it the income and its beneficial effects on the Branksome which means so much to all who have been associated with it.

Drama Club The Drama Club is back in circulation! The production of Thorton Wilder ' s Our town was a great success. Not only did the cast work hard but their producer, Tony Falconer, and their director, Mrs. Astington, also put many hours into the play. This year over forty girls worked together every Thursday to put on a drama workshop. On Friday, November 26th, our seven plays were presented in the gym. This term ' The Italian Straw Hat by Eugene Lab ' che was cast and is being rehearsed. I would like to thank Mrs. Astington for all the great guidance and help she has provided and Susan Elizabeth for her helpful criticisms.

There are great movements under cover as the limbs progressively gain strength in anticipation of the leap from the bed.

LiTERHRY FIRST SNOW The snow is falling Outside the window Of the class-room. It takes me back A few years.

Catching melting bits On warm tongues — So eager for The first taste Of the season. Susan Greaves, 10 The Great Captain With defiance in my blood I face the raging sea. Every bone aches with tension as I clasp the wheel, trying in vain to steady the ship against the powerful pounding of the waves. My stomach is protesting with nauseous bubbles, but I have no time to notice, for every cell is intent on survival. The waves roll and toss, laughing at my little boat. With pomp and flourish they rise and slap me in the face. Indignation ruling me, I curse the vile sea with loathing. No amount of H2O is going to inundate me! Stays whirr and halyards clang, and all is chaotic. Ahead of me swells an enormous mountain of water. Slowly it grows, bigger, bigger and then — nothing. I had had my dime ' s worth.

Lili Pos, 12 Letter to the Editor: Pollution People condemn what they can not understand. This is the downfall of all ignorant people. These people have not stopped to assess the real value of the product they maliciously call Pollution. We must remember that we have taken thousands of years to reach our present standard of trash quality. We can not throw away what we have worked all this time to perfect — indestructible waste. Indestructibility is not the only merit which we can find in the waste of our modern age. We have found the formula to make it not only indestructible but also enhancing to the world we live in. Picture in your minds the sun, seen through a diffused cloud of sulphur gas, setting on the horizon, its last rays giving a rosy glow to a municipal garbage dump; or smell the full-bodied scent of a sewage-plant in full operation. Hear the traffic, the whine of demolition and building equipment, and the reassuring screech of a passing fire engine or ambulance. Taste an apple, its flavour enriched with a little D.D.T. which, like a little love, surely helps. Run your fingers over your windows and feel the coating of grime which is so luxurious to the touch. Along with these impressions, think of all the things we take for granted. Can you imagine looking at a river or lake and not seeing the usual number of fish floating lifelessly on the surface? Or waiting for a bus and during the interminable wait, not receiving a blast of exhaust from at least five diesel trucks, or driving along the highway and not seeing a stream of litter by the wayside? Oh Horror!! What an alien place this world would be. Last but not least, let us consider the spiritual enrichment of trash. It symbolizes all we honour a nd hold dear, what we strive for all our lives and what we have, finally, after a long race won: technological and financial progress.

Patti Thorn, 13 Page 68 The Branksome Slogan Prize Essay Are ' people who need people ' really the luckiest people in the world ' 7 Are people who need people really the luckiest people in the world ? Definitely not! To halt the protests from wounded human hearts, however, it is necessary to qualify this verdict to some extent. We can assume that nearly all people require the company of another human being at one time or another. Whether the need is a sexual one, a Platonic one or even a monetary one, other people are indispensable. Nonetheless, the song (which is without a doubt one of the most exquisite musically) implies that there is a group of humans having a greater need for others; a group desiring more fulfilment in human relationships; a group bestowed with a larger capacity for dependence upon other men. It is this unfortunate group which, I feel, does not belong in this world, for the simple reason that life is not worth all the disappointment and suffering which will inevitably come their way. Reader, before you remonstrate loudly with indignant rage at this blasphemy, let us, you and I, examine the world and its residents, and see just what it has in store for those who really rely on others. Today ' s society has its fine points — I would not be so nihilistic as to declare otherwise. Technologically, scientists have reached heights once thought unattainable. These advancements have reduced the amount of work one has to do. They have consequently increased our precious leisure time, and have conferred upon us a host of other material luxuries. Nevertheless, there is a startling resemblance between the assembly-line products which fill our cupboards, and the human uniformity seen in any facet of modern life. Now, where does this land our lucky friend? Everywhere he turns,he sees nothing but materialistic, pseudo-real mechanisms that talk, walk, look, act in the same undistinctive style. This sparse group of people who need people wants someone whose interests stretch beyond themselves, whose mind dares to break the chains of conformity in order to reach out to others. Such people are far and few between. In his books, 77? Territorial Imperative and African Genesis, Richard Audrey dared to disagree with Sigmund Freud over the latter ' s well-known theory that man ' s basic instincts are sexual. Whereas Freud believes man, first of all, wants to reproduce himself, Audrey maintains that one ' s primary instinct is to preserve oneself by the acquisition of a territory and the harbouring of material goods in this area. If this is so, and I believe it is, then what becomes of those who seek humans above all else? Here again, they are unlucky, for while they are bleating for love, the possible candidates are out providing for themselves, be it selfish or not. To need people is to need love and security. However, this special group referred to in the song needs more than love and security — These people need a deeper, more reliable rapport. Today, reliability is not reliable. Depending too heavily on someone or something is an admission of one ' s incompetence and lack of adequacy. People who need people lack that Year Book, 1972 Page 69 essential quality which is instrumental to any kind of success — independence. Dependence on another brings about a contrived sort of relationship. This reliance necessitates an obligatory feeling on the other side which I feel is one of the most degrading of ties. Partial independence is the key to fruition. In marriage, lack of independence of one party can strangle to death the love and respect of the other. In business, a dependent worker is like a leech, and is shaken off accordingly. In Platonic relationships, a dependent chum is a heavy load, and is easily cast aside. Those people who need people do not profit from their deep want of love and assurance. It only brings them more uneasiness, and carries them deeper into the realms of insecurity. I know I have sounded cold and unfeeling, but the reader must remember that my statements apply only to those who feel an unnecessarily great need for other people. I also know that I have put an obscure meaning on those lines, but only so that I could illustrate a very important and meaningful idea to me. For only by living on one ' s own mentally, and growing, independent of others, can one emerge as a complete and well-adjusted human being, capable of sowing the profitable seeds of life and reaping the fruitful rewards.

And bows and shrinks it thought by thought; Meekly pliant, it submits its matter — Itself it has no Life. Thralldom droops into sepulchral lethargy: Like tiers of crumpled linen cool the manifold pains Forgotten, quiet, still — The flame has fled; A secret breeze entwines the shadow of its leaving In ever-fainter labyrinthine currents Which lose themselves afar in nerveless space Lest we, so blind — primeval bats, torpid. Near the molten amber of electric noon — Trace the passing of a spirit To the throbbing vortex of the Atman. Elizabeth Baker, 13 Life Love it or leave it. What else?

Lili Pos, 12 Year Book, 1972 Page 73 Greece The flies were annoying him, and he raised his hand to flap the long fingers in front of his face. The flies buzzed angrily, but remained. He fished in the pocket of his baggy trousers and produced his flute. The clear notes projected over the nervously chewing goats, stamping their small feet against the flies. A breeze licked up the hill and brushed the thick, coarse grass, rippling through the daisies and poppies. He closed his eyes and allowed the warmth of the sun to seep into him, the hand holding the flute falling to his side. His young body was sprawled on a hill of history. He was sitting on an ancient land, toughened, battle-worn, beautiful, and he did not really care. In fact, he was happy watching the flowers and attending the goats, eating his mother ' s cooking and playing with the other village boys. He shifted his back against the rough, grey stone of an old pillar and idly wondered how it came to be there. He opened his eyes and checked the goats. His count fell short, and he got to his feet. The squewbald goat was out of sight somewhere. He stood on the base of the pillar to see if he could trace the missing animal. His bland young eyes flicked over the ruins, but could not find it. Sighing, he jumped down, and picking up his stick, he started off towards the far side of the hill. One or two of the goats jerked their heads up, ears swung forward like trumpets, chins moving in spasmodic chews. He brushed through a clump of asphodels, and pulled a single blood poppy. The missing goat did not bother him. The long fingers gently dismembered the petals, and tossed them aside. He scattered the black stamens, and then dropped the carcass. Slowly he wandered around the crown of the hill, past a massive stone bearded with lantern shaped bougainvillea, jabbing his stick at a basking lizard, which proved more energetic than most, by elevating its tail and sprinting off; and letting his brown eyes follow the erratic path of a faded yellow butterfly. He came across the goat standing shoulder deep in a patch of thistles, eyeing him sidelong, delicately picking off the thistle heads. He scolded it lazily and laid a hand on its angular quarters. The goat flapped its ears, and took another mouthful before moving off before him to the flock. Seated once more on a square, dusty, block, he looked down the valley, and at the mountains that were quivering in the heat haze. The olive trees were twisted and old, but the grass was fine and green. Patches of rock quilted the hillside, and the village was white and flat-topped. Another warm wind curled around him, and he sighed deeply. His fingers searched for the flute again, and he was peacefully aware of the warm feeling of contentment that slipped through him. This was his land. Kerry Hood, 12 You used to be able to but you can ' t just go into ancient Greece anymore! They won ' t let you. Margaret Flett Pj gg 74 The Branksome Slogan I i This My Nature Death Wish White flaky hillsides melt sadly into beautiful flowers in green lusty meadows, turning, seeping brown and gold into white flaky hillsides again.

Life-living bodies laughing, crying as greyness and smiling wrinkles die contented, soon turning fertile into earthen, lusty meadows with seedlings, beautiful flowers then seeping brown and gold into white flaky hillsides again. . Lili Pos, 12 Stalemate And the men pushed on Through mud and dripping snow. I looked out my window and the scene slipped Back sixty-six years. It became a space, stretching To the horizen with endless rows of trenches; A strip of mud separated the squirmy lines. The farm houses, children, and cows were gone. The green was gone, even the blue sky had disappeared. Then the ants crawled out of their ditch. They weren ' t really insects. Rather, little brown gnomes. Quite comical actually: To see struggling men caked with mud — Dying animals. Rain filled the pock-holes; The cannons made and reflected Only a leaden sky broken here and there By the body of a drowned idiot. There was nothing more to see. My gaze fell to the books in front of me And my mind was jolted to the present. The history book lay open. My hand was poised to write. My place? Ah, yes, here it is: - Passchendaele. Susan Greaves, 10 Sestina Time By the constant inalienable pulse Of day and night are assured the lives Of flowers. A nd summer birds fly o ver Woolpack winds as soon as they can sense That deeper, cooler nights are settling fast As leaves in Empire hues decline and fall. But in himself man cannot feel the Fall. Outward signs must aid his erring sense. He needs some constant change to take the pulse Of time : like the length of shadows as the fast, Triumphal march of day sweeps over. Or the waning wax of candles ' lives. Every no w in all the countless lives Leaves its lasting mark, when it is over. To be felt: the growth of trees, the fall Of insects into open sap, the pulse Of quickened seas. Their stiff remnants, we sense. Are picked clean by Time - who cannot fast. But with the arts, mankind holds fast His now. ' Paintings grip in silence the pulse Of a moment, books create lives Before our eyes and spilling over and over All crystal instants as they fall. Shines music with its fresh and vibrant sense. You pass us like a strong current. We sense The headstrong Absolute in our fall - Our death. For existence ends as fast As one plucked tone in the cycling lives Of a music box: sprung, with some pulse, A minute tone sings and is turned over. In truth, though. Time, we can be used over Just so often — the same as other fast — Changing energy processes. You sense Yourself as a pool deepening with the fall Of a storm of raindrops — countless lives — And climbing to fulfillment with each pulse. You will stand still when this fall is over. And slowly — or fast perhaps, for can there remain any sense? — That which swelled with a cosmic pulse will shrink ' til quietus lives.

Susan Shortiey, 7 Significant Landscapes Sitting here, looking out my window, I can see the dead trees of High Park. Through the tangled grey branches, I can faintly pick out Grenadier Pond. But is that all I can see? For me, the trees are not the trees of High Park, Toronto, but trees rooted in the Ontario northland. In this changed environment they house red squirrels, chipmunks, crows, woodpeckers and a menagerie of other woodland animals. I can even imagine that Grenadier Pond is no longer stagnant and full of mire, diseased fish and duckweed. It is suddenly the sparkling, blue water of Stoney Lake, alive with freshness and dotted with over one-thousand islands. The ducks in the pond are replaced by a pair of loons, their elongated necks bobbing above the waves. Nightfall in the city is characterized by the roar of rush-hour traffic, the clouds of pollution and the ducks huddling in the swamp, their heads tucked under their wings. The close of day up north brings a radiant sunset, a slight chill in the air and the eerie call of the loons. As the darkness steals over, the heavens come alive with the most breathtaking display of stars, shining like little beacons. Sitting in school, daydreaming, looking out the window, I see the chestnut tree and the school buildings. But there is more to be imagined. There is the chestnut tree, with very few leaves still hanging on to the branches for dear life, suddenly a majestic pine tree, in full array, towering above the world. In my imagination the buildings are gone and in their place are cottages, snug inside their shutters, already asleep in readiness for the cold winter ahead. I can even see a solitary canoe, scudding across the waves, a paddle flashing with silver as it dips into the blue. This quiet loneliness is what I want and yearn for most of all. This is where I want to be, away from the traffic, pollution and PEOPLE. I feel closed in and I want to get out of this jungle of steel and brick. What is most meaningful and important to me are the ' significant landscapes ' of the north. Patricia Thomson. 10 Loneliness is someone who plays tic-tac-toe by himself.

In previous years, most of the participants have been from Grades Eleven and Twelve, but the enthusiasm shown by the Nines and Tens this year has been fantastic. Next came the swim team tryouts. The team looks great this year. Let ' s hope we can come even closer to the Bishops Cup. Thanks to all of you for your support. It was a fantastic year for me as your Swim Captain. Love, Piper.

We believe, given your choice, you would prefer the best car in the world. We are not quite certain you know which it is. The consensus of Motor Trend magazine and Car and Driver magazine and Track and Traffic magazine is that a BMW is perhaps the best car in the world. We have no choice but to agree.
