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. Janet 4

Branksome Hall Foundation-Year III The Foundation in its third year continued to make substantial progress. 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
