Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

SLOGAN -73 BRANKSOME HALL 10 ELM AVENUE, TORONTO, CANADA MAW 1N4 EDITORIAL As this school year closed, one cannot help looking back on the events of the year or years we have each spent at Branksome. In trying to reflect on these activities, this year ' s Slogan has tried to capture the many moods of Branksomites in every aspect of school life. There is no particular concentra- tion on any one activity, but rather a combination of everything that involves Branksomites as a whole. Looking through the following pages, one sees certain names and faces appearing over and over again. For these girls, school spirit is a real and important part of Branksome. However, many girls do not appear in anything other than class pictures. Apathy is not a new word. People who are involved are always ready to undertake something else, because they MAKE more time. It really takes so little to get involved and to participate and to show your school enthusiasm. Branksome needs each and every one of you to participate. Contributions are vital to every aspect of the school in order for it to improve and to make further progress. It is often hard to appear to be making changes, as change is a slow process. For us at Branksome, tradition is a very major part of everything in the school. Constructive changes are always welcomed and encouraged, and, therefore, we have attempted some changes. The inclusion of Junior School Class pictures and more literary material is one step further towards our goal of total involvement with the school, so that your yearbook reflects every one of you. However, it is often necessary to hold onto certain principles of the past. We cannot hope to gain anything by sudden radical changes. We, the editors of The Slogan, realize that the pressure of deadlines is often trying for you, the students. Nevertheless, as you can see by looking through this book, the many excellent contributions do not appear to have been hindered by this fact. With your support, the much appreciated time and effort of Miss Kenny and Miss Forsyth, and the help of every member of the committees of The Slogan, we offer you the results of your efforts and hope that you enjoy them.

PREFECT INSTALLATION As the first rustles of the banners were heard, heads turned and quietly craned to see the silent, swaying rows of proud prefects, and clan chieftans bearing their banners high. An occasional murmur disrupted the silence as the procession took its place and was seated. The service moved along without a hitch, and special interest was added by Wendy ' s witty and animated speech. Before it seemed to have started, the installation was over and the procession was slowly recessing amid constant murmurs and mumbles. For the students and parents it was just another installation unless there was a sister or daughter involved. For a graduating student this installation was the beginning of the end of her last year at Branksome. It was the first page of many to be turned within the next seven months representing the many last times we would be involved directly with Branksome. Cathie Goldring Year Book, 1973 Page 5 My dear Girls, Not long ago two little figures appeared at my door bearing an offering of art from Grades 1 , 2 and 3. The fact that one of the figures was male was in itself rather unusual at Branksome and the conversation that ensued was not by any means run-of-the-mill for my office. Having separated one sheet from the others in his hand, the small boy marched purposefully forward, thrust it into my face and said This is mine. Isn ' t it the most beautiful picture you have ever seen? I acknowledged that it was indeed lovely, expressed deep appreciation of his gift, and then made the mistake of asking him to admire the A.Y. Jackson on the wall. With a fleeting glance he accorded it a curt nice and proceeded to display the work of the other children upon which he obviously cast a pretty jaundiced eye. When I found this art also praiseworthy, he realized that I was an out and out Philistine without taste or discernment and quite frankly declared that he could not leave his masterpiece with me but would take it home to his mother who would undoubtedly declare that it was the most beautiful picture that she had ever seen. The child ' s complete confidence in his own achievement was charming and I thoroughly enjoyed my interview. I have told you about it now because of the thoughts, which came to me afterwards. Such assurance, it seems to me, comes only to the very young and the very old — those whose life has barely begun and those whose productive life is over. Those of us who struggle in between have always to examine, to measure, to evaluate ourselves, and we must manage to live with ourselves in the process. Confidence in ourselves we must never lose but as we travel along the road of life we must learn to assess ourselves, face our own shortcomings, strive for our own excellence and, driving the green-eyed god from our shoulders, make the very best of everything that has been given to us. This above all, when the fallacy of the doctrine All men are born equal is borne in upon us, we must cling to the infallible truth of this one: The Lord helps those who help themselves. I firmly believe that even the least of us has a vital place in the scheme of things and that the finding of this place is the goal towards which, with the help of God, we all must strive, without fear, without discouragement, without faltering and with a large measure of the little boy ' s faith in himself. The editor asked me to fill half a page with my letter and I believe I have done it but frankly, I think I could have said all this in one short sentence: Only your best will do or perhaps just Up and on! Yours affectionately.

We all thank Liz for her sports activi- ties. We all often wonder what it would be like to be a day girl? But look what we would be missing! Thank you, Buccleuch House. You have made it a great year for me. Faith Reid AINSLIE An Ainslie House with the Ainslie Angels? It has been, so far as anyone else can see, a fairly quiet year. With flurries and worries before the dance, and a funny Christmas play put on by the staff. With the New Year came sun tans and changes and the exams which we feared. With boyfriends on Wednesdays and freedom on Saturdays and friends through the week, I think we ' ve made this the greatest of years. An Ainslie Angel CHOIR REPORT Zing, zing, zing a little zong for me. And so the choir has this year, for sure. Their first engagement was at St. Andrew ' s United Church on Bloor St. in October, when the girls replaced the regular choir and sang two anthems. Before long, December came along, bringing the Carol Service with it. The Carol Service was especially exciting this year, as it was held in a new church, St. Paul ' s Anglican Church to be exact. Some three thousand people came to hear Branksome at its best. The choir sang especially dulce ; this was proven by the fact that Dr. Peaker, who is the organist at St. Paul ' s, asked them to return and sing for a Sunday morning service. As of now, a date has not been definitely set. Two days before school ended for the Christmas holidays, the choir hopped on a bus which was to head for the T.D. Centre. For the second year, at Christmastime, they filled the ears of bank tellers and bystanders with carols familiar and non-familiar. But fear not, friends, for ' their singing has only just begun , for the spring will bring more music, as the annual Spring Concert will take place in April. Now I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Coutts, Mrs. Cook, the executive, and the choir, for doing such a great job this year. I should know; I ' ve been there! ' Keep singing, y ' all, Lindsay THE BRANKSOME AND SHERBORNE TRADITION The Beginnings: June — September 1940 Don ' t worry. Canada will never let you down , and how right he was, that former Prime Minister of Canada, R.B. Bennett, who in June 1940 sent us off with these encouraging words. The Editor-in-Chief of The Slogan has asked me to write of the trials and tribulations of that time, but as I re-read my diary the only trial and tribulation I find having mention was the, to us, intense heat and humidity, but I find also that even Miss Read said she had never been so laid out by the heat before ! What has far more frequent mention is the tremendous kindness of everyone we met, from the Headmistress Miss Read (as she was then known) and members of staff who gave up time in their holidays to look after us or entertain us in their homes, to members of the school and their parents who also opened their homes to the English arrivals. At one time in the summer of 1940 it looked as though a large number of girls would be coming from Sherborne and that the first party of 27 girls and three staff was but the advance guard going ahead to prepare the , way. As it turned out, however, only indivi- duals followed, and the numbers never ex- ceeded 47. The uncertainty with regard to how many were coming made planning difficult, particularly as on our arrival in Toronto we were thinking in terms of at least one hundred and trying to find accommodation for that number. From the start Branksome Hall gave us a wonderful welcome. Miss Read had immediately opened the school at the beginning of July (term having ended in June) to be a transit hostel for war guests from Britain, and we found ourselves taken there on arrival. Awaiting us were many invitations to homes of Branksome parents and to summer camps, and in a very short time all the girls had gone away with their hostesses, leaving the three Sherborne staff to set about finding accommodation for the autumn. We looked at hotels and golf club houses and explored empty houses of many shapes and sizes, helped all the time by Miss Read, our indomitable hostess. From her we had the assurance that if there were sufficient Sherborne girls and staff to run a separate school, we might have the use of the Branksome library, swimming pool and games and winter sports facilities. However, by the end of August it became obvious that our numbers would remain small and that we would be wise to accept the generous offer of the Branksome alumnae to furnish a house for us, the girls to attend Branksome as day girls. A large house at 40 Maple Avenue was offered us, and directly we moved in a continuous stream of furniture and equipment, both new and loaned, poured in. So much was provided in this way that little had to be bought, and by the beginning of term all was ready. Although we moved later on into another house (now called Sherborne House) the pattern was to remain the same for the next three years with all the Sherborne party living together, but attending Branksome Hall daily and Dame Diana Reader Harris Page 1 8 The Branksome Slogan spending holidays and Saturday afternoons with, for the most part, Brank- some friends and their parents. No wonder that letters back to England from the start so frequently contained sentences like this one, quoted in the Sherborne Magazine of November 1940: I think that it is the generosity of the Canadians which strikes me most . . . they are ready to put themselves out to be friendly to everyone. Ail of us who experienced that generosity and friendliness will never forget it. Nor shall I forget that the alumnae of Branksome Hall had undertaken to offer it to even more individuals than were able to take advantage of it. This exchange of cables surely speaks for itself: From Branksome Hall to Sherborne Alumnae meeting today decided undertake remaining 96 and necessary teachers , and then from Sherborne to Branksome Hall We find it difficult adequately to express our gratitude. Because of the increasing danger to shipping in the Atlantic only a very few of those 96 came but all who did still find it difficult adequately to express our gratitude . Diana Reader Harris Dear Branksome friends, This year has been a great experience for me, partly because I had never been to Canada before and was really excited about coming here. Most of all I was going to meet a whole lot of new faces at Branksome. Branksome is a really friendly school. This hit me as soon as I arrived and everyone said hi to me in their very Canadian accents. The troubles I found myself in at the beginning of the year when I used my English phrases, which no one understood, forced me into making long, drawn-out sentences to get across the point. We have had so much fun in MacNeill this year, playing jokes galore on each other. I do not know how Mrs. McMillan has stood it. I have really enjoyed myself being over here. Thank you, teachers, for attempting to teach me. If ever any of you are in England, do look me up. Love, Gill Dear Sherborne, There once was an exported Branksomite Who flew by airplane to Sherborne one night; With crumpets at tea Which she stomached with glee, She returned with great memories but not light.

We had two great theatrical successes early in the school year. The first was on Saturday, November 25th, when we presented children ' s plays to an audience of about one hundred and fifty children. The girls did their own directing, producing and costumes with helpful hints from Mrs. Kareda. The second production was on the morning of Friday, December 15th, the last day of term. A group of girls from grades nine to thirteen helped to put us all in the Christmas spirit with their production of Dickens ' A Christmas Carol. The second term was spent in creative drama workshops and we plan to round off the year with a major production on June 1st. You all did a terrific job and I really enjoyed being a part of the Drama Club. Keep up the good work.

This year Opheleo had a very successful Ramabai Collection — $1,200. We made our donations to four agencies: Ramabai Mukti Mission, Native Peoples ' Association, Ludhiana Hospital in India, and particularly the Elizabeth Fry Society through the United Appeal. We sent over three hundred Christmas cards collected last year to the Ramabai Mission. We also collected old toys and gave them to Little Trinity Church to repair and distribute to the needy in their parish. As I write this, we are in the throes of planning a campaign to raise money for our foster child in Turkey and to assist some Branksome Old Girls working overseas. I would like to thank everyone for their great enthusiasm and contribu- tions, and especially Miss Baker who deserves a great deal of credit for our successful year. Anne This page donated by the class of 7R3, 1971-72 Year Book, 1973 Page 25 READING CENTRE Branksome girls and teachers made it, and with the help of the librarians, the Reading Centre has been a great success. It ' s the place to do some quiet studying or browse among a variety of books. We have made a start, and hopefully in the next few years the Reading Centre will expand tremendously. TO-DAY, BRANKSOME ' S READING CENTRE; TOMORROW, THE WORLD ' S!! KEEP READING: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Alane It seems strange that the girls learned a lot and the boys enjoyed themselves! — Miss Sime Page 26 The Branksome Slogan RESOURCE CENTRE Libraries or, in modern terminology, resource centres are often not fully appreciated. They are sometimes little used and because they have a connection with school projects and essays in people ' s mind are often thought of as classrooms. Librarians are pictured as rather severe ladies with horn-rimmed glasses and long memories for misdemeanors. But, resource centres are necessary in our society. Schools, art galleries, and business firms find them essential. They can give pleasure as well as valuable information. For example, they are one of the few institutions which politicians can establish without complaint from any segment of the population. Let me hasten to add, by the way, that none of the librarians of Branksome ' s resource centre resembles the description given above. Resource centres are important; let ' s face it, they should be appreciated. LONG LIVE THE RESOURCE CENTRE Our special thanks to Mrs. Shopsowitz and many others who, realizing the importance of our Resource Centre, have donated many excellent books this year for our information and enjoyment, and to Mrs. Dick, our school librarian.

Joanne Cook BRANKSOME HALL FOUNDATION - YEAR II The Foundation has now been in existence for two years. 1972 is significant because cash donations passed the $100,000 mark. Pledges total another $45,000. An additional sum of some $28,000, donated in earlier years for purposes which coincide with and complement the aims of the Foundation, is also available. Fully invested, the income has already made a substantial contribution to the bursary program by increasing individual bursary payments and initiating new ones. Lesser amounts have been made available for the purchase of new books and material for the library. Hopefully, before the academic year is ended, other commitments in these areas will be made. The purposes of the Foundation are still as valid as ever: increase the amount and number of bursaries, add to and improve the School ' s teaching facilities and provide higher, more competitive salaries and benefits for the staff. Dependent entirely on the generosity of the Alumnae, past and present parents of students and the school ' s host of friends and well-wishers, the Foundation must look to them for continual support. Steady growth of this fund signifies in a material way the endorsement and approval of the high principles for which the School stands. It is sound policy to reinforce success. The Foundation must become increasingly successful. Marshal Stearns, Chairman Trustees, Branksome Hall Foundation Year Book, 1973 Page 29 A MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNAE When you are at Branksome, you rarely think far enough ahead to the time when you will be one of the Alumnae. But time moves on and whether we like it or not — one day soon — Branksome Girls become Branksome Old Girls. The Alumnae looks forward to the time when you will become members of the Alumnae. The Alumnae of Branksome Hall is a very active and important part of the school. Those of us in the Alumnae are always interested in the activities of the school. The Alumnae executive meet once a month to plan events to help the school in many ways. Miss Sime and a representative from the school attend these meetings so we keep in touch with all the school happenings. Why do we have an Alumnae? By doing so we do many things. We carry on the terrific Branksome spirit that has been formed over many years. Your Alumnae sends out two newsletters a year. In the Newsletter we keep you up with all the school events — and keep you in touch with other Old Girls — what they are doing, where they are living, etc. Your Alumnae plans several events during the year. The Bi-annual Bazaar this year will be on Wednesday, November 7th. Everyone works for this Bazaar — parents, present girls, and Old Girls. From the proceeds of this Bazaar we are able to donate gifts to the school — such as a new curtain for the Junior Gym, record players, etc. The Foundation is another way the Algmnae supports the school. By giving to the Foundation we help build the future of Branksome. The Foundation needs your help too. This year the Annual Dinner is on Wednesday, May 2nd, and we hope all the Graduating Class will join us. The Alumnae looks forward to you as members. Once a Branksome Girl, always a Branksome Girl. We are waiting for your new ideas and support. Best of Luck. u Eleanor Hamilton The President, members of the Executive Committee, and Year Reps at the February meeting of the Branksome Hall Alumnae Association.

I don ' t want to leave the school, I know that. Deke Bo ts ford. Grade 2 She ' s a great person. She ' s fun and understanding. Debbie Armour, Grade Miss Sime ' s announcement that Mrs. Dowie will retire this year was received throughout the school with much regret. There are many of us who have known Mrs. Dowie well, both as a teacher and as principal. We all have very happy memories of our association with her. The reaction from the Junior School was one of shock. This in itself expresses their admiration for Mrs. Dowie, because they cannot imagine next year without her. Both the staff and the students have loved her in her three years as principal, and this is made evident by the very happy atmosphere at Read Acres. I ' m sure that no one will easily forget her announcement at prayers one morning: Girls, please don ' t sit in the sinks. Mrs. Dowie will be missed especially by the Junior School, but we would all like to thank her very much for her valuable contribution to Branksome. We wish her all the happiness she deserves in the future. From The JUNIOR SCHOOL STAFF IVIrs. Do wie will surely be missed as a co-worker and a very dear friend. Mrs. Dowie has not only been a patient and understanding {headmistress but also a very warm and sincere friend. She was the head of a happy family in Junior School. To Mrs. Dowie As we travel along life ' s way Treasures are rare and few. Lives are altered by those we meet Ours are enriched, having known you.

Mrs. Dowie and Penny Cutler JUNIOR SCHOOL In the past few months I have found the Junior School full of as much spirit, enthu- siasm and fun as I remembered its being six years ago. The very nicest part of being Junior School liaison is that I can spend lots of time there. If I had to choose a highlight, v ould it not be that two boys have asked me to marry them?! Penny, it doesn ' t matter that I am only six years old, does it? they ask. Grade Eight seems to be especially lively! No doubt the Senior School is in for a real treat in September. Thank-you, Mrs. Dowie, Mrs. Van Fleet, and staff for your tremendous support, but particularly to every Junior Branksomite for making the Junior School a very happy part of Branksome Hall.

Hail The stinging sharpness of ice dark from gray skies hits and hurts. The sun sparkles on the snow Trees are clothed in virgin white— A car splashes slush on me. Fiona Wingfield, 1 3 Amy Shek, 13 Reflections upon our Quickly Passing Seasons Little green caterpillars furled as tight as the mainsail at dock Slowly straightening, glistening green in the dew of the dawn. Turning up towards the sun ' s light, my green caterpillars have become butterflies, completely missing the crysallis time. One may presume, my green caterpillars are special. But in the summer, butterflies mean more. The sun is not so warming when the wind blows. My butterflies shiver; the sad blood does not pound through their fine-veiled veins. The wind gives them rosy, red, maroon, yellow, gold, crimson faces. Winter is kind to my butterflies. It frees them, so they have one flight before heaven. Some soar skyward gadding about, and playing with newly-found friends, from another branch of life. Every single one must die, so that we may sleep in our bed of leaves. Wendy Stewart, 12 Page 62 The Branksome Slogan a crunch as footsteps rustle amid the fallen leaves-once brilliantly painted, now brown with death. the air filled with strays of smoke crisp and woodsy lingering with fallen rain. a wind which whistles through the barren trees rises, blows, swirls around and around; everything is topsy-turvy and then at last the first pure white snowflake falls until everything is covered-sky to earth with snow and the storm dies. After Snow Comes Spring Nothing stays at all The sky uncovers for spring Just think — yesterday the snow was upon the rocky edges and now green sets itself upon the rocks. The children come and play, but Nothing will keep at all at all . . . Janet Allen, 13 Anne Barnicke Lynda-Jane Davis, 7 Morning glories light The golden day With soft flowing grass, beckoning . . . Fieldstones dew-glisten brightly Among the blades Forever unmoving Turned Around? Or changing with time. The wind is touched with chill tonight. Like an arrogant queen she sweeps boldly through the trees that bow and sway, paying court to her and scattering the leaves into a swirling frenzy, each breath a rustle of her silken gown.

A Small King Cecily Ugray, 13 Page 64 The Branksome Slogan Thoughts It was yesterday, I think; I walked along the winding dirt road Down by the waterfront. I was alone. My mind rolled back in time; I thought of you, The endless days and nights of bliss. The want to live forever, The smile you gave me when I did Something dumb Or said something wrong. 1 remember the way you held my hand. The times we looked for shells along the beach In the pouring rain, The kiss you gave me on the cheek, When I was feeling down. I love you, you used to say — I laughed, And thought our love would last. I remember your apologies, Your excuses. What could I say? The rain began to fall, As I started back along the road. My eyes grew cloudy; I think it was the rain. Melanie Roberts, 9 Joanne Cook Thoughts from the Underground Criss-cross Cross-criss is Vice-versa Versa-vice. Muphie Cole, 13 Travelling on the subway in the rush hour Looking at people ' s expressions . . . There is no feeling or response in the early morning No one smiles Why is the world so depressed? Would people think it an insult if you laugh? Little children playing tag around their mother ' s skirts until they are told to stop having fun- Is it such a crime?

Your streets with shops and bustling crowds In every alley the noise so loud. Your buildings stretching to the sky, Attract the people walking by. Do you ever long to be In golden fields where you could see A mass of waving grasses green The apple trees, and air so clean? Bridget Wiley, 8 Hilary Estrada THE MIST BUBBLE It told mainly of dreams and caravans and far-away magical places. I think perhaps it was in itself a dream-though in my uncertainty I cannot be sure. It spoke of love and happiness and children pursuing a bubble that is youth. And yet in these things it spoke of you-of tears and laughter, but streams of light were floating through it and I had to laugh, because they illuminated your face so strangely! No my love, I am not mad — I ' m only floating through a mist of yesterdays and maybes and I hope so ' s, until finally I can see . . . it is not in my world to judge him. i have no right to stop and tell him what i think. his eyes seem hollow but are filled with a tiny flicker of disbelief when i tell him why i ' ve come. . . . but he will follow-he has told me he will follow. And i believe him. so i wait — wait until evening star in the pitchy deepened heavens has cast its shining shadow on my deserted form. But still I wait while the waters of the trembling seas lap against the spongy folding shore and the last of god ' s kingdom gives up light to darkness. He will come-he has said he will come and i BELIEVE him. now ... in my wait the stars are fading-reclaiming their glistening bodies from lapping waves of down, and slowly drawing back the velvet black of omni-present night. wait and i am waiting — never moving, hardly, breathing a whisper to wind and sand as they sweep across my solitude; in their moan a voice of calling, softly, sadly-faraway . . . i glance up and gaze at wind swept shores of disillusionment . . . waiting, i will wait-as dawn in loftly elegance pours its golden beauty on the tears of sadness flickering, but i shall wait wait until the wind has blown her morning kisses to her children of the darkness. Then he-as peter the lonely fisherman, shall come to gather me in his nets from my trembling sea of sorrows. Michelle Skillas 12 Hilary Estrada LEAVING Anne Barnicke Not for me my mother ' s life Women ' s Institute, church suppers, Counting pennies and watching the sky At harvest time — Not for me the clerking in the general store Saturday nights in Charlottetown Watching tourists watching us Not for me the screeching twang Of country guitar badly strummed In some dingy school gym, with Boiler pipes knocking out of rhythm. The Island ' s grown too small for me; The smell of lobster boats stifles, and Fish guts make me shudder; tourists Click cameras; they know nothing of our life. Of the constant struggle, the degrading Unemployment cheques, the dwindling catches; Last summer the blight hit the potatoes, And prices went down again. The other kids taunt me, snob and city slicker; But I don ' t mean that; this is my home. Always will be; but I cannot live here— What do I mean? I do not know. But the bus is ready and I Should be aboard, my Eaton ' s suitcase Is in the luggage bay and the driver is Beckoning — good-bye to red soil. White boats on blue water, Potato flowers in the spring- They say that The streets of Toronto Are paved with gold. Jo 73 WHY? We sit here Washed by waves of thought Which they say will prepare us For our life to come. Where shall I be That a knowledge of Newton ' s Third Law Will defend me? Where shall I be That the knowledge of the co-ordinates of three-dimensional space Will guide me? Margaret Morden, 1 1 Page 68 The Branksome Slogan Mother . There goes my lady, clothed in warped morality, her purse persistent vengeance. A domesticated serpent; watch her coil, and strike . . .she gives no warning rattle. Slowly as my rage subsides her image is quite softened in my mind. If I look closely I can see a glint That hides a flaming fire of stifled youth. Her aching heart has cried a thousand lonely deaths. And I have been the midwife to her fantasies at all but one of her rebirths. The last I was the child . . . Prince Hal, 12 He chased and chased around the ring That was the funniest thing! After they chased around the ring They bowed so low to everyone ' s king The matador all in red Was always trying to run ahead Of a big black bull Who was terribly full From eating a lot of bread. Red and Black Rowena Gill, 4 Year Book, 1973 Page 69 MY LITTLE BROTHER I remember when he was small And his fat legs stumbled in uncertain steps. And his maturity, to my recollection, was Interspersed with tears, broken toys and His refreshing and singularly sweet smile. Now he stands beside me, tall, warm and sensitive, And with his arm confidingly and trustingly about me. Wordlessly he hugs me. Anne Meredith, 13 Ma Soeur She ' s gone. She who is so glowing and happy with her yellow hair shining like the sun was hidden in its ends, and her laugh, her smile her tears and her joy all in one vibrant loving sou hugging me so tightly she says goodbye with a smile but with the meeting of our eyes how sad I am, to have pierced through her disguise she smiles again, and she goes quickly. Christie Thomas, 13 Anne Barnicke The Riverdale Zoo I went to the Riverdale zoo And David and Philip went too And Laura and John and Mother and Tom And Carol who lost her left shoe. There were monkeys and bears Elephants that didn ' t have hairs A bird and one pig who was dancing a jig And pushme pullyous going around in pairs. The giraffe had such a long neck That his eye was a little speck And though the lion roared My mother got bored And that was the end of my trek. Sarah Ondaatje, 5 Grade One Boy — Junior School Prayers: Would whoever crumbled the cookies on the gym floor please see me after prayers. You were naked and without pretence and slowly your childish innocence and joyous laughter disappeared; you were re-created the same person, but different. genuine concern gave way to an image to keep and good and true friends were forgotten, or replaced, by those who knew where it was at. ah, but they didn ' t. The real you was adorned by an armour protective, but it too tarnished; you became distant and never available perhaps out of fear — desolate and confused, very popular, but only surface deep, then, again you were re-created or should I say finally blossomed wanting more than surfaceness, wanting love; striving to understand and be understood, with an intense desire for truth we meet, carefully trying to weave a new pattern leaving the old threads of life in the past. Elizabeth Black. 12 I am a tiny element in the void. It ' s cold, but the cold is somehow warmth. It ' s dark, yet the dark is somehow light. My neighbours are so far away, but I travel fast. They are titanic, and their might immense, yet, I go into them , through them, and beyond. I ' m the freer of them all.

Stems naturally droop Leaves are thin and damp. The base is but a shape. The table but a board. Her entire attention Is focused on her joy. Julia Wood, 13 The sticky, pudgy hand moved cautiously towards the tall rose bush. Slowly advancing a tiny finger, he tested the punishment of the spiny needles on the graceful green stem. He flexed his finger with nervousness then brought his arm tight against his chest. He calculated which one was the most beautiful — swiftly, he plucked the stem and the flower released itself. His arm shot forward, then back into his body in an instantaneous movement. Soundlessly, the boy was gone. In the place of the sensual red rose was a warm drop of blood to comfort the earth.

Kathy Duquet, 13 Trip ping down the stairs ( I =3 Catherine Morrow, 9 At this time, Adama is hot and beautiful. The dust, the heat and the glare only contribute to its aura of vibrant beauty. But the true loveliness lies in the plains surrounding the small, dusty, noisy town. From the rocky hills, they spread out colourfully dotted with wide acacia trees, and little birds darting in their shades. But the best place of all is the dry, sandy river-bed. I climb down the steep walls and walk barefoot on the almost scorching sand. From below, I can see only the top of the banks; the walls are smooth and vertical, washed clean by the annual river running through it. In the rainy season, the river is a churning torrent flooding the adjacent farms. Now, the land is dry and hot. But lying under the acacia trees, I forget my parching throat and smarting eyes. It is quiet and peaceful . . . the peace of cool acacia tree, shimmering air, and dry brown earth. - Woubalem Trzos, 13 Janet Emonson, 13 Feedport Chip, chip, chip An unceasing racket of sharp, shrill chirps attends the birdfeeder. Chop, chop, chop, the slicing sounds of the seeds click unto the wooden planks. Staring from my control tower, my window I watch these air-pilots raid my supply of sunflower seed. Claire Dehenne, 9 FRUSTRATION to speak and know that it means nothing and so in speaking watch heads turn away to be concerned and know that none are concerned with you to clench the fist and cry out for all injustices into the hollow wind and watch the words drift into nowhere, From no one. Elizabeth Black, 12 just sometimes you know sometimes i cry not because i ' m sad just because i ' m happy and you know sometimes i smile not because i ' m pleased but because i ' m angry. i rather like to think I ' ve got people all mixed up and probably it ' s just the other way around. jennifer laski, 10 Page 76 The Branksome Slogan NIGHT IN A STRANGE The room seemed empty and dim, The curtains faded. Through a crack in the ceiling peered light. Only enough to see the torn floor planks; The light was that of the moon, dull and lifeless. A distant squawk sounded from a crow; It was far off, but the sound had depth. Then all was still. Night was here. Leonie Stoffels, 8 Night Misty breaths of air descend. Mirrored in the limpid pool: All is still; time suspended; Till the dawn breaks through the spell. Cathie Goidring, 13 Poem I remember that evening in the old farmhouse, where faded roses rotted on the walls and flies buzzed against the yellowed panes; being read to by my mother waiting for the warm rain. Oak tables, stone fireplace, iron candlesticks; clattering in the kitchen, making hot spiced tea; the wind whispering to me through cracks in the walls; a child — me — terrified of old ghosts, creaking floors and the dark upper corridors of that one hundred-and-fifty year old house. Peri-Laine Archer, 1 3 La Salade Je ferai une salade, mon chou Et dans cette salade je mettrai Des larmes de joie et tous nos souvenirs Des journees et des soirees Quand nous etions ensembles. Anne Meredith, 13 OUT OF LOVE So. Here I am. Heart-whole and fancy-free. I can think of you Of your voice, laughing eyes, your mouth on mine, your hands on my body, and nothing happens. 1 feel no pain, no pang deep inside. And yet the emptiness in me now is worse far worse than any pain that ever was. Ali, 13 Love is a veil of lace On the window Which waves in each New breath of wind. Love is the summer flowers Which grow brightly But never last . . . Love is the new-fallen leaves Which dart in puzzled circles Yet Love can be more . . . No, not love, etc., . . . Nice girls don ' t do that! - Miss Kenny Heather Dawson, 9 Page 78 The Branksome Slogan SPORTS CAPTAIN REPORT It can be said without question that 1972-73 has been a ' ' super-fantastic year at Branksome. After all, with the arrival of the new school mascot — the one and only Branksome Duckie — we could not help putting our best foot forward. It was obvious the basketball teams did as they returned the Cup for the sixth successive year. Keeping in step were those who trod over muddy fields with what appeared to be a football. Not only were they tackling other teams, but wind, rain and snow and still Branksome emerged victorious in all four games. This year Branksome entered a Track and Field Meet. Although not the victors, we were only a toe behind Havergal. — Just wait till next year! With perked fingertips, powerful breast- strokes, poised badminton and tennis racquets, open baseball gloves, two bowling alleys and great new floor hockey equipment, girls await the challenges ahead with enthusiasm. For they know Branksome stands behind them all the way. The old saying You don ' t have to play a sport, to be a good one applies to everyone at Branksome. None of our results, could have been possible without the spirit and enthusiasm of our loyal supporters, Mrs. Keyes, Mrs. Lackie, and Branksome Duckie. It is incredible, because all these girls combine to form a unique group that is willing to stand up and fight for the spirit of her school. Branksome would not be Branksome without the spirit that each and every one of you gives it. Thank-you, everyone, for the most super-fantastic year. Sandy JUNIOR SPORTS REPORT I ' d like to take this time to say, That Junior School is good always. The spirit towards the games they play. Is fantastic everyday. We had great fun in basketball. And points were gained by one and all. The cheering section cheered like mad. And when we won we all were glad. Now, volleyball is on the way. We ' re picking teams day by day. With Mrs. Van Fleet standing by. Ready to help when the need arises. Thank you. Junior School. Maureen Page 80 The Branksome Slogan WITH APOLOGIES TO R.

CLAN GATHERING The day of the annual Clan Gathering dawned with mist, rain, and cloud, but even that did not deter the tremendous enthusiasts who slithered and slid into Readacres. MacLean proved to have the strongest muscles as their shouts of ' ' Heave Ho! led them on to victory in the Tug of War. As the ground was still damp the club foot race was slightly altered so club footers would not be walking around with muddy bloomers. And so everyone stumbled bowlegged with a basketball between her knees. In the clan chieftains ' race, the clan chieftains struggled on all fours under their clan members ' legs. Ginny Bertram of Campbell emerged the winner. Many thanks to Mrs. Keyes and Sandra.

BASKETBALL PLAYDAY On that thrilling morning of Saturday, October 30th, fifty Branksomites went off to defend their school in basketball. While the first, second, and third teams were dashing to and fro ' across the basketball courts at Havergal, the fourth and fifth teams hopped about on the courts of Bishop Strachen School. Their trick passes, low dribbling and smart lay-ups would never have been performed without the excellent coaching of Mrs. Keyes, Mrs. Lackie, and Sandy. After many fast and exciting games, the final results were: First — Havergal Second — Branksome Third -B.S.S. Fourth — St. Clement ' s Fifth - St. Mildred ' s Sixth — Toronto French School Playday was certainly an enjoyable occasion for all the team members of every school. Three cheers for basketball!

Consultant Services in Public Relations and Public Affairs TCL ADVERTISING LIMITED Institutional Advertising TORONTO MONTREAL A40 The Branksome Slogan What Have You Learned? We are living in an age where old dreams are becoming reality — walking on the moon, reaching for nearby worlds with our eyes on dist ant stars. The strange thing is that in this modem age, people don ' t seem any friendlier; wars break out around us; personal tragedies abound; and our technology has brought about frightening realities about our ecology and environment. The oldest questions in the human race still are being asked: Who am I? Why am I here? What is life? Is there any purpose or meaning to life? To find the answers to these questions, many people search in medi- tation, new religious philosophies, group therapy, while others, impatient for quick answers, end the search bitter and hardened, convinced that life is accidental, and ... let ' s get out of it what we can while we can. These people all demonstrate one common trait: a desire to BECOME CONSCIOUS— find the truth— to KNOW THEMSELVES AND THE WORLD OF THE UNSEEN. Truth is not in any group, but truth is within every one of us, waiting to be heard and learned. Have you listened? Almost 3000 years ago these words were written in the Christian scriptures about many of us — now — in the future: ... they shall wander from sea to sea, from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord ( truth ), and SHALL NOT find it. (Amos 8:12) Christ told his closest followers that the truth was within them, and not in the outside world. No organization, no group, religious or scientific, can MAKE YOU CONSCIOUS. This depends on YOU, not your family, friends, or any group: . . . they shall not teach every man his neighbour, . . . saying ' Know the Lord ' , for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest ... I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MIND, and right them in their hearts: WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED? . . . Year Book, 1973 A41 With the comphments of B. B.
