SLOGAN 74 Branksome Hall 10 Elm Avenue, Toronto, Canada, M4W 1N4 Editorial This year is a special one in the history of Branksome Hall as three very important things are happening. It is the seventieth anniversary of the school, Miss Sime is retiring, and we are welcoming a new principal jMiss Allison Roach. Seventy years ago Branksome was a small school, holding classes in the converted stable of a house on Bloor Street. The girls wore long skirts and middy blouses as their uniform and The S ou ' aM was a mere pamphlet of twenty or so pages. Now the school has expanded to comprise many buildings, including a modern wing of offices and class- ro oms; our uniform is more practical, reflecting the sense of tradition that is so much a part of our lives, and Tho Slog,in is a one hundred and sixty page book reflecting the many facets of the school. Many teachers and students have passed through the school in the course of seventy years and each one has contributed something in her own special way to its development, but the girls in the Graduating Class of 1974 will remember no one more vividly than they will Miss Sime. She has had a long and varied career at Branksome - beginning as a teacher, becoming the head of the French Department and then, in 1968, becoming the Principal. During Miss Sime ' s administration the school has developed in many ways, and one phase of its building programme included the completion of the Margaret Sime Wing. But even greater than any material development is the influence that Miss Sime has had over the girls who have been her students. She has always tried to know each girl individually, she has constantly supported student effort and initiative, and she has consistently reacted favourably to ideas based on fairness and honesty. Although it is hard to think of Branksome with a new Principal, I am sure that when Miss Roach comes to the school in September she will have the full support of the school. For the first time Branksome will have one of its own alumnae as Principal, a fact of which we should all be very proud. The Editors would like to express their thanks and appreciation to Miss Kenny and Miss Forsyth for all the help that they have given us this year.

Kenny Miss E.M. Forsyth To Branksomites: Whether you have been at Branksome fifteen years or ten months doesn ' t matter. You are all full fledged Branksomites now. Throughout the year you have all learned and experienced things which make you no longer uncertain of what to expect. You ' ve learned to handle MacFeeters ' pressuring dating service and experienced a true Branksome Bash. You ' ve handled a toast call: White? Brown? Cracked wheat? And being greeted every morning with, Have a good day. You ' ve worn the bloomers, the new ones and the old ones turned grey, with the elastic long gone. You ' ve learned that Branksome is trying out for the teams and being happy with passing the oranges. And that it is masses of kilts and faces marching out in song as yet another carol service is over. Branksome is ink fights, water fights, Ribbits, Rubber Duckies, grapevines and kilts four inches from the floor when kneeling? And it is laughing till the tears roll down your face and then trying to explain your maturity as you undo your bow-tie, the latest style. And finally, Branksome is close friends, a sense of in- dividuality and the knowledge that, nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Branksome is Branksome through six hundred pairs of eyes. Remember it is your way. All I can say is that it has been the best. Just remember, keep up the spirit and our tradition and look for the good things. It ' s worth it. Smile! Seeyabye.

Cash donations increased by over $30,000. and donations plus pledges amount to $171,233. as of 31 December 1973, compared with $147,433. a year ago-an increase of 16.14 ' Vo. It is the policy of the Foundation to keep the funds fully invested. Income therefrom in increasing amounts has been directed to the bursary program, new bursaries have been established and significant assistance has been provided in other school areas in accordance with the purposes for which the Founda- tion was created. Several splendid donations have been received from parents with the notation that the gift was in recogni- tion of the benefits the child had received from the School. It is hoped that in this next year many of those who for the same reason have wished but so far have been unable to make a donation will be able to convert these good intentions into a modest contribution. It is still only comparatively few from among those we must rely on-Alumnae, past and present parents of students, and the School ' s host of friends- who have supplied the bulk of the funds. We are particularly anxious to hear from those of the Alumnae and former or present parents who have so far made no contribution. The School is in splendid shape but must continue to remain so. Without continuing increased assistance from the Foundation it cannot be competitive in obtaining new teachers, providing improved benefits and updating its facilities-and providing the bursaries which are so necessary and desirable. The Foundation must continue to grow. Nicholas Fodor, Chairman, Branksome FHall Foundation 6 Stratford 73 Remember . . . Moving along the highway Not knowing what we ' re doing here. Practicing Christmas carols and Realising we ' re an octave too high. Impatient to arrive. Remember . . . To be in your seats at 1 :45 Stepping off the bus and Invading the snack bar. Walking to find a quiet spot for lunch. Finding sappy benches, so an instant picnic. Being chased by greedy swans who liked grapes. Remember ... The fantastic seats. The excitement of the play. The involvement of the audience and the deafening quietness. Remember . . . Questions direct ed to Cassio as he pulled his moustache off. Being a receptive audience. The roar of the applause. Remember . . . The delicious dinner at the church. Grace in several languages. Our tired busdriver. Miss Kenny and Madame DeHenne. That was Stratford, glad we went.

I did not realize any more than you did that I was actually stating a fact. As June approaches, I find myself being placed more and more in the same position as the graduates by more and more people who ask me, What are you going to do? I must admit that at the moment I answer frivolously, Nothing, but this is only to save myself from later reproaches. If this last year has taught me anything, it is that I am indeed facing a new life, going out into a new world, and that no matter how much or how little time one has to live, one must make the most of it. Unlike my fellow graduates I am not embarking on an exciting new career, but I am nonetheless facing their moment of truth - Can I emerge from my Branksome cocoon and stand complete? The answer to this, not only we graduates but also all of you are going out to find sooner or later. My hope for all of us is that carrying Branksome ' s heritage with us - her ideals, her standards, her way of life - we may find within ourselves a strength and a purpose that will give us the courage to tackle whatever lies ahead. I hope that we will all have learned that whatever happens, the eternal verities remain, that truth, honesty, justice and purity are still the best foundation for a happy life, that a sense of proportion is essential and that a sense of humour beats the devil. I leave Branksome with a feeling of great gratitude that life has given me a profession which I thoroughly enjoyed, which I practised in a place I have loved and which has brought me so many friends. After forty- one years I cannot believe that my luck will change, and so ! vanish happily into the future, trailing clouds of memories and saying to you most affectionately. Ave atque vale 14 Prefects? That little bug lives in a world all his own. He doesn ' t know anything about tests, detentions, black lists, kilts four inches from the floor when kneeling, or polished shoes, or silence. All he has to worry about is eating and not getting stepped on. That ' s the secret: reduce your worries to a minimum. Stay calm and thanks for a good year. The Prefects ' 74 15 The Students ' Ten Commandments 1. Thou shalt not copy thy neighbour. (Let her write it out again for you.) 2. Thou shalt not drive the teachers to their graves. (They can take their own cars.) 3. Thou shalt not flunk in june. (Avoid the rush-flunk in March.) 4. Thou shalt not tear school books. (Burn them instead and destroy the evidence.) 5. Thou shalt not skip classes. (Take the whole day off.) 6. Thou shalt not push in the halls. (Tripping is faster.) 7. Thou shalt not drive recklessly around the students. (Wait for the teachers.) 8. Thou shalt not whisper in class. (Shouting attracts more attention.) 9. Thou shalt not throw erasers. (Pencils are harder and more to the point.) 10. Thou shalt not wear make-up. (Warpaint is brighter.) A.H. 16 Beta Kappa ' Twas the night before the dance, And all through the city. The lines were buzzing with, What should I wear to look pretty. The animals were hung from the ceiling with care, And praise that Mr. Wilson would always be there. The Rout was the beginning of our social season, Everyone had fun for her own special reason. December and Christmas came quickly our way. We welcomed them both with, The Games People Play. Our giant-size die was really far out. Especially when it started moving about. The formal in March ended second term With Alice, The Cheshire cat, and even a worm. Our social year has been one of the finest, A special thanks to Cathy Clarke our resident artist.

This is an excel- lent sign that the inquiring, intelligent minds of Branksomites are in full operation ... (or that there are a tremendous number of assignments being given out.) We ' re sure that it is the first assumption that is true. Although this is not a year of spectacular development as the last few years have been, the committees have been working harder than ever to make the libraries the best ever. A great deal of thanks is due to the three committees for all their cooperation and special thanks is due to Mrs. Dick and Mme. Olson for all their help and advice. Pat, Laura and Melanie 20 Opheleo President Vice-president Secretary-treasurer Marilee Tisdali Cathy Simmonds Vicki Lomax In the last few months there have been several oppor- tunities for the Opheleo Society to get involved and understand the meaning of Opheleo- ' l serve ' . Our first undertaking was sending 225 Christmas cards with a balloon enclosed in each to the children at the Ramabai Mukti Mission in India. Ramabai week followed and it was very successful. We raised nearly 1,000 dollars- donating money to Ramabai Mukti Mission, Ludhiana Hospital in India, the United Way, the Hospital for Sick Children, the Ontario Humane Society, and we sent a gift to Erol Barulday our foster child in Turkey. Near the end of the term we had a clan toy collection and sent the toys to Little Trinity Church where they were repaired and then distributed. The Slogan is on its way to press and the Opheleo commit- tee is in the process of planning a campaign to raise money to support Erol Barulday in Turkey, and to assist a Branksome old girl working overseas. A grateful thanks to everyone for their interest and support and a special thanks to the committee for their help - rolling pennies! Miss Baker - thank you for your guidance and for helping to make this year a very successful one for the Opheleo. ' Seek not happiness: bestow it, and it will come to you ' Marilee What else can we do, but keep climbing! 21 Drama Club Our hour devoted to the pursuit of expression is worth a full century of glory given by the frightened weak to the strong. Kahil Gibran The drama club has spent hours of devotion to expression, in the hope of sharing the fulfillment we have gained through productions such as The l ottery and The In-Group . We have wished to entertain but also wished to provoke thought, in the Christmas Anthology. At the present we are working on a production of some intricacy, School for Scandal . We would like to thank Miss Taylor for all her helpful guidance and the drama club for their support. Good Luck, Melanie Hazell Renata Straughen 22 Photography Club 23 Earl ' s Girls When we returned in September, we were all sad to hear that Mrs. Coutts would not be with us again this year. She had been with Branksome for so long that we had come to think of her as part of the school ' s essential character. Though sad to say good-bye after such a long association, we wish her well for the future and hope to see her often. We all had quite a shock in September when Miss Sime introduced us to our new choir-mistress-Mr. Davey. Mr. Davey ' s initial task was to choose carols for the Carol Service. The music was where it should be, in the music library. To Mr. Davey ' s distress, that happened to be in the girls ' washroom. We quickly set about remedying that problem. The Carol Service arrived with the usual last minute frantic memorizing of words. The choir received a fringe benefit of being able to sit up in the balcony in St. Paul ' s for the first part of the service. The program included one carol written for Mrs. Coutts and Branksome by Dr. Richard Johnston. The day before school closed for the Christmas holidays, the choir paid what has become its annual visit to the Toronto Dominion Centre. Everyone, listeners and singers, seemed to enjoy himself immensely. The choir is now going on to bigger and better things for spring. All in all I think this has been, and will con- tinue to be, a great year and I would like to thank Mr. Davey, the executive and the choir for making it so. Meg Carol Service I think that there will never be, A carol service so on-key. The words so clear, the tone so pure Girls so well-dressed, neat, and demure. And such a pageant! What style, what grace! The kings with beards cloaking each face. And at the front see, if you can The school conducted by a MAN The congregation strained their necks. To glimpse this unfamiliar sex (Strange to Branksome ' s halls, I mean. Where men are very seldom seen.) Then strained their ears to catch each note That wafted from their offspring ' s throat. In short, it was a great success, And like each year ' s, it was the best. Office Staff 26 Senior School Teachers At last, dear reader, you ' ve reached this page; To find it ' s been quite the quest. So let your weary eyes read these few words. And let your fingers take a rest. Well, I s ure didn ' t know what to expect when I came into this place to live! But it ' s okay now, and I ' m immune to it! And furthermore, to live here was a valuable experience. I suppose the most valuable part of it was to meet people, and I know them as I never would, had I been a day girl again this year. The dining room was where much activity took place. One could talk to different people every week, or humiliate someone by singing Happy Birthday to her on her day, or enjoy watching DD ' s struggle away to the kitchen with a tray of dishes or to be greeted by a little Branksomite. Many of these activities also took place after study, in the evening, if not during study! One could learn much about herself as well as about the other person, over a cup of coffee and some popcorn. This is what I consider to be the most important aspect of boarding. But boarding was not always a bed of roses! Bells rang in one ' s head even when they weren ' t ringing! And try washing your hair in the bathtub at Sherbournes! On the other hand, these things are a part of the fun. To conclude, I ' d like to thank the girls of MacNeill, Sherbourne, Ainslie, Main, and Buccleuch for giving me such a good year away from home. Now alas, here ends my few small words, 1 am oh, so sorry to say, So look at the pictures, or turn the page. And by all means, Have a good day! Lindsay 29 70th Anniversary The Prefects 1909 HEART CULTURE. Breathes there a girl with soul so dead, Who never to herself hath said, This is my own, my latest ' crush ' ; Whose heart hath ne ' er within her burned. As t ' wards her crush her eyes have turned; If such there be, go, mark her well. For her, no florist ' s bill doth swell; High though herstanding, wide her fame, Boundless her marks, as wish can claim, Despite her honors, bram and pelf The wretch, concentred all in self. At school shall miss the looks that thrill. The kiss that makes the heart stand still. And when from school she does depart. She ' ll wish she ' d cultivated heart. MARGARET WALTON and DELPHINE BURR.

Cold as an ice cube. It waits at the edge of the seas. The whoosh of the waves, The cry of the gulls. Stalking like a cat it waits. Toward the roars and road of night it paves. The feathers of light grow dim, The fingers of chill enter in. The mourning crickets sing their song. The rosy film of twilight appears on the universal rim.

Quite seriously, I think that this year ' s Sports Program has been one of the best ever. Team sports and after school games have been lots of fun and a great success, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Kizoff, Mrs. Marley and the chieftains and subs. Thank you all for your enthusiastic support. Keep up the spirit Branksome! Barb Dear junior School, This was my last year in the Junior School and it was my best. It was a great honour to be your Sports Captain. The teams were fantastic, and your support was even better. I am sure you will continue to excel in sports. Your support definitely needs no improvement whether it be for Junior or Senior School. Up and On Branksome, Forever yours, Carrie Clan Gathering Dear Mom, Dad, Egor and Cibly; Right now I ' m supposed to be writing history notes. I feel that anything that has happened in the past is history so I feel quite justified in writing to you about the Clan Gathering. Even though it wasn ' t an important event in Medieval History, it was and always will be an important event at Branksome; therefor I will give you a brief report. 1. The Clan Gathering- very important enthusiasm and spirit in clan members. 2. Activities- running, tug-of-war, piggy back races, special races. 3. Significance- brought clans closer together- provided foundation for spirit and enthusiasm in coming year. 4. Effects- left people hoarse from cheering- made people smile- left a lasting impression on all who were there. So there you have it, my first complete history note. It ' s too bad that it wasn ' t on Egyptian Civilization! Say hello to everyone, love Nellie Clan Standings 73 1. Maclean 2. Campbell 3. McLeod 4. Ross 5. McAlpine 6. Scott 7.

This year, on Sunday, October 20, 1973 Patti Thomson, Janice Thomson and Nancy Barr represented Branksome Hall at the annual Girls ' Private Inter-School Sailing Regatta, held at Lakefield College School. Unfortunately, the idea of spending a sunny, windy day sailing was soon forgotten after arriving at Lakefield. There was not a breath of wind on Lake Katchiwanooka and the sun was hidden throughout the day. Everyone started the sailing day with the hope of more wind and the sun appearing, but alas this did not happen. The racing was touch and go all day long. Havergal did very well, receiving all firsts. Strathallan and Branksome battled for second place but in the end Branksome fell behind to take third place. The lack of wind caused the two final races to be cancelled - thereby giving the trophy to Havergal. Although it was not hard sailing we all enjoyed the day very much.

The cheetah, an animal species. Has more than one paw in the grave. It is on a straight road to extinction. Which many are helping to pave. The poachers covet its spotted hide, The lion and leopard its meat. And its famous speed has one drawback, It must rest before it can eat. Diana Harris, 10 The road is narrow and dusty.

In a short time lived The hallucination is soon disturbed As the twilight mist enters to cover me. I grasp onto the outstretched pleading hand Our secure hold tempted and teased Kismit But he laughed; the ho ld was not meant to be. She entered our lives like the mist, swift and silent Taking with her all my worldly possessions. As I ponder in the darkness I feel myself being drained; Drained of all the affection and joy he brought. Behind his back she sneered and snickered He was mine no longer, nor he hers for long. To her he was like a fleeting moment. Here to be used now and discarded later. She left me only one thing to cherish freely, memories. For little did she know that memories stored can never be taken, only shared. Debbie Colman, 9 Colour Wheel Hues that blend in circular fashion, Mix and match in endless patterns.

Imagine my surprise and fear When the creature whispered in my ear While grinning through an evil leer I ' m going to marry you! I quickly straightened down my skirt (To think with toads that I would flirt) And cantered off to school to learn If fairy tales come true.

I think it was your fault, I ' m not sure Just a joke? I ' ve paid you back a million times since. Silly? Us? No, only a search for sanity. From the start. One big push for Branksome unity.

Based at the top of the main staircase, I anxiously awaited his arrival. While waiting I began to daydream about how I would float down the stairs and run into his outstretched arms. For half an hour I sat and dreamed, then he appeared. I began gracefully to drift down the stairs, but unseen by all I tripped over my dress hem and fell into my blinddate ' s arms. Poor Gunther Crinkle, stuck with a moron like me. Debbie Colman, 9 Wise person say, Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and your mascara runs. Vanessa Bone, 8 91 Chindi I remember the day, many years ago, that father and four of his hired hands came riding through the gate of the big corral, herding a panic-stricken chestnut mare. She was my birthday present, and I was to ride her in the annual county fair, if I could train her by then, it was going to be a long hard struggle, for the mare was fresh from the hills, and was already four years old. I named her Chindi, an Indian word meaning Spirit . Chindi was a holy terror right from the start. The first time I approached with a halter, she lashed out with a front hoof and sent me sprawling into the dust with a broken leg! Three weeks later, undaunted, 1 hobbled back in and tried again. By now she had had time to settle down, and I managed to bridle her without considerable trouble. Once my leg was mended I trained her to saddle and hackamore, and I had no further problems. However, by this time we all realized, and I most of all, that Chindi could never be broken, that the song of freedom rang immensely clearer than the dull monotone of domestic life. The only question was: how long until Chindi answered that song? The answer came a few weeks later. I had ridden Chindi over to my friend ' s farm. 1 was starting home when it started to thunder and lightning; and soon after, the rain began to pour down in torrents. There was a river just half a mile from our farmhouse that, 1 was sure, would be a swollen, raging current by the time we reached it. I tried to urge Chindi on, but she would go no faster, blinded by the hard silver pellets of water that stung her eyes. Two more miles . . . then there was the river, boiling angrily over its banks. Chindi never hesitated for a minute, but plunged headlong into the swirling waters. After two steps the cold waters engulfed us; only our heads were visible over the top of those churning waves. Desperately, I clutched at the girth and pulled it loose letting the saddle slide from under me and settle at the bottom of the river. We could come back for it tomorrow, when the waters had receded, but at this moment it was too much of a hinderance to Chindi. There were several times during that seemingly endless journey that I was certain Chindi would slip and drown us both; but she reached the opposite bank safely and stumbled up it, with me hanging desperately onto her mane with both hands. Once we reached level ground I slid, exhausted, from Chindi ' s back and sank to the ground. Chindi stood above me for a moment, soaking wet. She seemed to be listening. I sat up; above the roar of the river I heard a far off cry; the whinny of a horse. Chindi stood for a moment longer, nostrils distended, ears cocked, staring intently ahead toward the farm. Then, wheeling suddenly, she dashed back into the swirling waters of the river. 1 dragged myself to my feet and screamed frantically Chindi . But it was futile. As I stood in the pouring rain, my clothes clinging to me, I saw Chindi clamber up the far bank, and pause for a second-looking back in my direction. Then the dark shape on the distant hill, blurred by the rain, gave another whinny and Chindi, drawn by the powerful call of the wild galloped off across the wet fields to rejoin the herd. ! stood desolate on the shore, and watched them canter off towards the distant horizon-wild, happy and free. Marijke Wertheim, 9 92 Description of a Sunset Red piercing rays crown the hill - unequalled by anything tangible or intangible. Beaming shafts strike light into the darkest corner of the glen, giving it a silver sheen that sets off the grass in its morning glory. Forever at a distance the great gold orb hangs, suspended just above the hillside, painting the atmosphere in colours of pale yellow, orange and red. At last in its full magnificence it rises above the hill giving an ethereal glow to heaven and earth. Jane MacKay, 10 Suburbia Yesterday there were fields brimming with life. Busy hives of living creatures. Part of nature ' s balanced circle. Suddenly the bulldozers ' scooping and tearing, symbols of the developers ' suburban estates . . .

Phantom Katherine MacBean, 12 In the distance I see a ship Creeping over the waters in the darkest of nights Only the small light from her bow Reveals the secret of her coming If I strain my ears I can hear her breathe But that really is only the sea, for she is too far away The wind carries upon it the smells of the sea and her cargo And the birds swoop down to the sea but away from the ship No moon, no stars, to see her more clearly No clouds, no fog, reflecting her shadow Only the one small light from her bow Closer, closer, yes, I can hear it The sea is trying to reach her, slapping her sides Rocking her fare and aft While the wind plays with her rigging And tugs at her folded sails The darkest of nights begins to retreat In the half-light I can see she has come no nearer As the sun fully roused, illuminates the sea I look for the ship But she is gone V.

My stomach tight, I dive. Breathlessly I emerge, and Feeling the wild freedom of my body I kick and splash and play. Then, suddenly relaxed, The water lapping around my neck Hearing the muffled voices of friends Far behind, just vague forms in the darkness, I swim on into the infinite calm.

School Room Blues When he sat in that square room with closed windows He was drawn inward. The world outside, of reality, was blocked off, His mind was closed. Discussions were many and the hot air Rose above his head. Someone opened the window a crack and Let the fresh air in He stirred, earnestly wanting more than this - This room with its closed windows and Closed eyes Refusing to recognize the present and her say In the lessons of the day. The bell rang. Why, we asked, did we live and think in That irrelevant class. None of our thoughts ever aspired to go beyond The depth of the papers. We mentioned lines to recite to a paper. Like this one. Then to be graded and valued as a person In that discipline of study. Not a particle of ourselves was found In that class; Only reflections of our teacher . Elizabeth Black, 13 The air of aristocracy is on The well-formed hand that holds an autumn flower; Her wedding ring is very plain, yet on Her ears there hang pearl-gold and diamond rings. A touch of smile hangs o ' er her mouth as though A lovely secret lingers in her mind. It cannot be, but I wish I had Known Her, even if it were short company.

The wealthy catch a plane and go To warmer lands, to sea and sun From winter gloom to summer fun. It happened in that season that one day I boarded on a plane to fly away To Florida, to beach and sand, To bask and bathe and get a tan. Beside me on the plane a woman sat Who, just as I sat down, began to chat. Her face was red, her eyes were bold and bright. The scarlet dress she wore, a bit too tight. Jewels glittered on her monumental chest. She was a little too conspicuously dressed. We talked of latest gossip and the news. On Liz and Dick and fashion things her views Were most decided. She told me then The tricks that women use to handle men. She knew the secrets of that craft. Often when she spoke she laughed And white teeth flashed. She brimmed with life. Five times she said she ' d been a wife And hoped to be again once more. That ' s what she was going down South for, Where millionaires were plentiful and old It ' s easier to handle old men I was told. I smiled and felt sure they would have no chance She would lead them in a lively dance! The plane then landed and we parted ways But I saw her on the beach in a few days. Half-naked, laughing, burnt a violent red She had a huge straw hat perched on her head. And trailing after with a lovesick air Was an aged and exhausted m illionaire. Maggie Kilgour, 12 97 A Gift to You I want to give the wisdom of time, Decorated with the colours of the ocean And warmed by eternity ' s sunrise. I want to sing to you a duet, Composed by the moon and sung by the stars. This will be my song of evenings of lost time. I want to recite to you the poetry of a lifetime. Untouched by a curse of bad fortune and Cleansed by the waves of the sea. I wanted to wrap the world in silver paper Made from the evening ' s glow. But few were the rainbows to tie into bows 1 wanted to buy for us a one-way ticket to heaven To live in a home made of dreams With a garden of growing wishes. These things would be yours. From me to you, but I can not give them. You have already given me more. Nancy Abernethy, 10 Le Lac La scene Est tranquille et calme.

In English, It ' s a triple hemispherical swirl-action com- bustion chamber Each chamber is cunningly shaped so that the gas and air swirls round not once but three times before firing. By then, it ' s mixed as thoroughly as a well-shaken cocktail. Which is one big reason a BMW engine is cleaner burning, puts out more power, and uses less gas, than engines of like size. The keys below come with six-cylinder BMW ' s. They work either way up (no fumbling). The tumbler activators (those little craters) are recessed Kf to baffle thieves. Smooth edges preserve J pockets. BMW engineers go to a lot of M trouble, even with little things. What a tiS nice thought, these days. BMW ' s range in price from $5,845 to $14,485 (suggested retail, p.o.e. Toronto).
