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
