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

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
