Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 162 of the 1977 volume:

LOGAN 77 Lest, as principal, I seem to be inordinately concerned with uniforms, neatness and the obeying of rules, I have set down a few more important feelings I have about Branksome. I share with many alum- nae and present students a love for our school which I have had since coming in grade 7 many years ago, a love which continues despite our capricious heating system, strangely behaved windows, and narrow hallways. I am proud to be a part of Branksome because of the many good people who have al- ways been associated with it — Board, staff, and students. We have always been most fortunate to gather people into our community for whom service to the school has been a joy. I feel proud when I wknm the dignity of our students at our Carol Service, or when they act as hostesses and guides on parents ' night, when our choir performs, or when we welcome, as we did this winter, debaters into oui school from all over metro, and when I witness the friendly, courteous treatment the students give anj individual visitor to the school. The enthuiastic appreciation they exhibit for our teams and for thos who have excelled athletically or scholastically is a pleasure to watch. Although the main concern our school, or any school, must be academic achievement, it is care for others, service, and high spirl whicn make Branksome tick. Our old girls know this. Our new girls find it out. My congratulations to the students and staff for this successful year and my special thanks and best wishes to those who are graduating. 7 Slogan Editors Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor-in-Chief Literary Editor Sports Editor Junior School Editor Advertising Editor Lay -Out Editor Assistant Lay-Out Editor Photography Editor Staff Advisors Diana Harris Diana Coulter Cathy Morrow Debbie Seagram Margot Haldenby Christy Gunton Marie Lange Jackie McClure Kathy Johnston Miss Kenny Miss Morden Editorial Another year at Branksome Hall is finished and for some, it was the last. But whether graduating or returning, each one of us has her own memories of the past months. We have experienced several new teachers and new activi- ties, and next year things are bound to be different. We hope that the Slo- gan will help to keep those memories green, (and red, black and white). Next year you will notice changes in the physical character of the school. So take a good look around Main House before you leave for the summer. We have included pictures of the areas of the school that will be changed. Look at them next year, and remember. The Editors would like to thank all those who helped us fill our deadlines. We are grateful for the excellent photography of Mr. Roe, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Johnston and Kathy. We had a few hectic weeks when our little green room was a flurry of paper. We hope the Slogan has survived the whirlwind and is a good representation of the year. Please support next year ' s yearbook staff as you have us.

For all those who, once again, find themselves not mentioned in the above lists, the Editors of the Slogan propose these additional awards. The Date Turnover Award — for the girl with the greatest number of boyfriends in one year. The Sour Grapes Award — for the girl who wished she had the greatest number of boy- friends in one year. The Most Wanted Award — for the girl whose name appears most often on the Black List. The Humpty Dumpty Award — for physical failure on the balance beam. The Midget Award — for the girl who manages to graduate in her Grade 9 oxfords. Grade 7 blouse, and Grade 1 tie. The Mrs. Sarniki Award — for the girl with the cleanest locker. The White Cane Award — for the girl whose name most often appears on the Blind Date list. A Bronzed Runningshoe — for the girl with the greatest collection of late slips. The runner- up for this award would be the girl who should have had the greatest collection of late slips — but escaped. 13 It is difficult for an outsider to understand the friendship and sense of community that exist at Branksome. Sometimes we too find it puzzling, yet our school somehow combines a wide variety of interests and personalities to form a community that is both fun and productive. This feeling of friendship with one another does not come from a textbook. It comes during morning prayers when one is trying to hold in one ' s laughter while a friend is making a desperate attempt at an announcement, or when everyone gets together and cheers the volleyball team to victory. The spirit of Branksome is one which encourages the individual to share her personal talents towards making the whole a success. Our school can be even greater once everyone is willing to contribute. For me, shared experiences form a large part of what has made this year a success, for it has been said that to share is to see beauty twice. Thank you, Branksome Eileen.

This involves car- rying out our commitments yet always finding room for untrodden ventures. In September, Christmas cards, each attached with a ribbon or balloon, were sent as usual to the Ramabai Mission. New this year were the pre-Ramabai week chocolate bar sales. Not everyone was on a diet, as the bars sold out rapidly. The enthusiasm of the students and staff alike resulted in some first- class campaigns. Among the most successful were a submarine sandwich sale, a car wash, a candy apple sale, in addition to the customary bake sales. The Junior School ' s contribution was tremendous and their eager support was very much appreciated. The total amount of money collected was over six- teen hundred dollars which was distributed to a variety of agencies, both in Canada and countries over- seas. Pens inscribed with Branksome ' 76- ' 7 7 made their debut on Parents ' Night in November. Because of an overwhelming response, the pens came back for an encore and were sold during the second term. At Christmas, the tree outside Miss Roach ' s office was used as a place to put voluntary gift donations. Over two hundred gifts were deposited under the tree and later distributed to needy people in down- town Toronto. Also, at this time, the members of the Opheleo Committee sold roses for the Ontario Heart Foundation. Committee members can now be identified since we have re-instituted the wear- ing of an Opheleo pin, a small silver triangle, inscribed with the Greek letters for I serve . Erol Earuldy, the foster child supported by Branksome since 1972, has now graduated from school and has been employed as a technician. Our new responsibility is another little boy, Panayiotis Tsouk- nos, from Greece. It is February and in the next few days we will be holding our annual penny collection, this year in the form of a penny roll. Our staff liaison for the society is Miss Baker who provided us with invaluable advice and assistance. Her support has been instrumental in obtaining our goals, and on behalf of the executive, I wish to ex- tend my sincere appreciation. Jane 33 BETA KAPPA Executive President: Marianne Montgomery Vice-President: Alison Gilbert Treasurer: Susan Hendrick Secretary: Carroll Barnicke The Trials and Tribulations on the Day of a Dance: Don ' t worry! Even though the band was supposed to be here three hours ago, everything will be fine. The dance doesn ' t start for half an hour. Why is it that we always have six more girls than boys for blind dates? Do you think if we hang the de- corations up wet, the paint will run? Oh my goodness, they missed the filling in that sandwich. What do you mean there are no blind dates for the formal? I think I ' ll go home and have a ner- vous breakdown before the dance. Even though things got a little hectic on the day of the dance, evers thing seemed to come up roses in the end. The Ramabai Rout, which was held in late October, was a great success thanks to the many people who helped us. We are now preparing for the School Formal which will be held at the Rosedale Golf Club on Friday, March 4. We have the group, and the replies are in, so we are off to a good start. A few changes were made in the organization of the committees this year and they all proved to be very successful. The enthusiasm was also overwhelming, which made our job a pleasure. We really ap- preciated th e help everyone gave us and we enjoyed working with one and all. A special thanks to Miss Northgrave, the heads of the committees, and their members, as without them we would not have done so well. Love, Marianne Alison Sue Carroll 34 35 DRAMA From drinking hot chocolate to directing the play, this year has been a fantastic experience for me as President of the Drama Club. Along with Miss Taylor and a cast of eight, we worked hard to produce The Mousetrap , a Mystery by Agatha Christie. Many thanks go to Debbie and her technical crew. The Drama Club also enjoyed participating in the Cabaret Show, under the direction of Sandra Smythe. Laurie CAST OF THE MOUSETRAP From Left to Right: Mr. Paravicini, Jane Moses; Mrs. Boyle, Ann Whomsley; Major Metcalf, Cindy Hughes; Mollie Ralston, Bon- nie Smith; Giles Ralston, Lyssa Davies; Miss Casewell, Jill MacCuUoch; Christopher Wren, Sheila Buchanan; and Detective Sergeant Trotter, Hayley Parker. 36 DEBATING M Debating got off to a great start this year as the teachers met the prefects to decide whether or not Miss Claxton ' s push pins are necessary to the well-being of the school. Although the judges were in favour of the Opposition (the teachers), the House ruled that the Government was victorious. On February 29, approximately fifty nervous debaters from schools across Toronto descend- ed on Branksome, the host of the Metro Finals. Mothers and fathers became judges, the executive became cookie bakers, the junior debaters became Madam Speakers. The day was a great success, Branksome ' s two teams did very well, everyone enjoy- ed themselves and the new debating robes were displayed (on us) for the first time this year, in the final debate of Branksome ' s first tournament. We would like to thank Mrs. Zommers (our loyal chauffeur and coach), Mrs. McRae, our executive and espe- ially all the people who debated this year. Nancy and Sue, or Sue and Nancy.

(John 17:18) These words were spoken by Jesus to the Father in reference to his disciples. The responsibility of bringing the Good News does not rest only on the shoulders of His twelve chosen helpers. Today the motto of the Inter-school Christian Fellowship (ISCF) is to know Christ and to make Him known. Whether one attends a church on Sundays or not, we hope to provide practical midweek activities encouraging a Christian outlook EVERYDAY. That sounds, and frequently is, tough, but as someone once said, the life of a Christian is like dieting: if you succumb to cream puffs one day, there ' s always the next day to face the challenge of fattening foods and to resist. Each day brings difficulties but it also brings Grod ' s grace. It is good to remember that we are the only variable in the equation of life. Christ is the constant: the same yesterday, and today, and forever. (Heb. 13:8) May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are absent one from another. {Gen. 31:49) 38 ABSENT: Sharon Vardy. A circulating library in a town is as an evergreen ee of diabolical knowledge. R.B. Sheridan (1751-1816) THE RIVALS, Act I Now that attitudes have changed, the library is lore important than ever.

Suddenly, there is dead silence because Earl Davey (le Roi) has entered. He raises his hands, command- ing attention. Magically, forty-five angelic voices sound in unison. Yes, this is the Brank- some Hall Choir! The choir activities started this year with a rehearsal weekend at Camp Couchiching; for many new faces, this was their first taste of the wild choir ' s life. The first performance of the Choir and the Chamber Choir was at St. Paul ' s Anglican Church. This was followed by a concert at Spring Garden Baptist Church, and participation in the annual Branksome Hall Carol Service. Christmas singing ended with a lunch hour con- cert at the Toronto-Dominion Centre. Plans for the spring include a four-day tour and a Spring Concert at the St. Lawrence Town Hall. I extend thanks to our inspiring director, the choir ' s executive, and to the school for their continuing support. Finally I would like to thank the members of the choir for their enthusiasm. Love, Ines CHAMBER CHOIR 41 Residence life is an experience that no one should miss! This year we have had many memorable experiences. Not only did we have drama and swimming, but we also had inter-house sports and birthday din- ingroom jogs . Who could ever forget the chilly fire drills, midnight laughs and shaving cream, those inexhaustable telephones. 12:30 rushes for food and mail and of course, allowance day lineups to see Mrs. McMillan! Life in boarding teaches us more than how to have a good time. In such an environment a person learns to live compatibly with others and accept them for what they are.

Five years after he died, a man went to live at the North Pole. Nobody knew who he was except a man called Mr. Nick. Mr. Nick said that the man who went was his brother, St. Nick. After quite a long time of being there he began to become magic. After that a lot of little men came to see him. They liked it there so they stayed there. St. Nick is called different names all over the world. Today he called Santa Claus, and everywhere at Christmas time, he and some of his elfs take a trip round the world on a sled pulled by reindeer.

I am sitting on a bus, homeward bound. Ordinarilv the fact tliat I have i)rorured a seat would have produced an extraordinary sense of pleasure and accomplishment, but today it does not matter. Nothing matters, neither the grey dripping rain nor the grey dripping people in their grey dripping ramcoals, I have failed a math tesi. Silentlv 1 utter an ex- pression that would make my math teacher ' s ears shrivel if he could hear. The bus screeches to a halt. Why must my work be judged never by me, but always by a person who is supposedly wiser? The bus groans as it starts again. Why can ' t I control my life, my own destiny? I want to have power. I want to become someone who has power. I wish I could do something so different or become someone so different I would stand out. But I can ' t. I ' m trapped in my web of fear and frustration and futilitx. trapped into being a conventionally mindless citizen, trapped, trapped, trapped like the foxes which are hunted by the bloodhounds of the blue-blooded aristocrasy of Virginia. Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Randolph III pulled off her soft fawn-coloured glove in one smooth motion and rapped irritably on the window that divided the front seat from the back seat of her husband ' s sleek black Cadillac. Really. Holden. she snapped pee- vishly, I wish you wouldn ' t drive so jerkily! You know how easily I get nauseated when the car jerks and jerksl If you don ' t drive more smoothly, I shall give you notice! She was driving from her home in Arlington to Washington to lodge a formal complaint against Lord and Ta lor for overcharg- ing her for a grey chiffon dress. She had telephoned them already, informing them of their error, but the man ai the other end of the line had insisted that it was she who was at fault . She! Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Rendolph 111! Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Randolph III was a most charming and influential lad . K cr thing she .said. did. and wore was im- mediately copied by other Washington hostesses.

The bus cantankerously starts again and Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Randolph III fades into the background. The tender fingers of the wind caress the hair of a little girl, and she giggles as she tumbles on the green grass with her dog. She is shouting with excitement and dancing up and down with glee. A [ ' anting Scotlie sprints siiu ' iieclK beside her. delighting in his mistress ' s exuberance. They seem to be indulging in a strange xersion of tag, interrupted by fits of laughter and frenzied tail-wagging. The sun is high overhead and the painfull ' blue sk arches above and lake water laps lullabies softly in the dis- tance. Feathery breezes whisper to tall trees and birds serenade the occasional bold chipmunk who ventures out to contribute a shy chirp. There was despair underneath Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Randoph Ill ' s elegant veneer. No one knew, herself least of all. It was a despair resulting from subconscious rebellion against life ' s eternal morialitv. And she wasn ' t brave enough to do something out- standingly memorable. She had long reigned over Washington society. l)ut even the most long-living monarch has to die. There would be other matrons eagerly grasping for her golden crown. So she had dictated Washington fashions and etiquette for de- cades, but what was the use? She had no control over the things that reallv mattered. She had been born and she would die. and she had been powerless to live. The bus stops. I get off and begin mv four-and-a-half block journe - home. The sun has come out and is winking at me jovially from behind a cream-coloured blanket of clouds. The grey dripping rain has tapered to light feathery droplets. I take a deep breath and 1 see an arching rainbow bridging the finite and the infinite under a painfullv blue sky. Suddenh- I grin. Nothing is funny, but I feel good. I feel glad to be alive. She is walking on a beach by the sea. Her eves are clear, unafraid, unregret t ing. unwearv. She walks with long smooth strides, a flowing poetry of motion. The water is cool to her bare feet and the sun is warm on her face and the salt is tinglv on her skin. She turns towards the sea. It is a calm day, and the ripples on the surface of the water are continuous like the continuitv and eter- nity of life. There are no breakers to stop her. no islands to obstruct her. no stones to hurt her. She looks up and sees a seagull flying, sailing, soaring above and beyond the confinements of time and space. Her soul is i ickled. and she laughs. I have arrived at home. Patricia Kuo Grade 13 86 SUNRISE She sat And watched the light Spread And bathe Her grey world with lavender.

Snatching up the stick, she returns with a new effortless grace. Victorious in her catch.

Gillian Sue Salomonson Grade 10 89 The dull brown leaves rustled underfoo t as he shuffled through them, forming a broken path. Their turning caused them to be picked up by the wind and tossed aside carelessly. He suddenly became aware of this and the footsteps ceased quickly. There must be no sound, no way for them to discover where he was. He could have trapped himself if they had heard. He crouched down near a patch of decaying trees and listened. Would he hear them before they found out where he was hiding? He had to: they would kill him if he didn ' t. As thoughts of the possible discovery raced through his head, he became unaware of the quickened pace of his breathing and the heavy sound in his chest. Only when it appeared that his heart was pounding like a drum, did he gasp and realize what had been happening. His eyes raced wildly over the area as he cursed himself for his foolishness. He mustn ' t be caught. He stood up, glancing about for shadows lurking behind nearby trees. There were none. A slow smile of relief spread across his face and the footsteps began once more. With greater caution, he stepped through the leaves towards the tall trees to the right. He knew that there was safety near them, for he had been there before. If he could just reach them in time. He kept a slow, steady pace to keep calm, and lifted his knees high so his feet would not drag. There had been no sound or sight from any of them, but he realized they could be trekking him. This thought made his feet speed up so that he had to struggle to regain control of them. He knew that he had to push such thoughts out of his head, or he would end up dead, for certain. The idea did not appeal to him at all. He managed to return to his proper pace after a few seconds and to become concious of the direction in which he was heading. He had not kept his course firm, for he was wandering too far to the left. A slow anger rose inside him as he realized this fear was ruining it all for him. He shook his head once and turned to the right. If they didn ' t get him, his fear was sure to. Suddenly, the big trees were there before him. With a small cry, he leapt out from behind and just stood. He must be safe now; surely they did not know this place! From here, he could see the small grey roof that was home. He moved his legs and started for it. His mother was standing on the porch, waiting for him when he got there. She could see how soiled Prize Essays 1976 BOUNDARIES Consider a pea pod ... as equally finite as the vast haunts of the human mind and the universe are boundless, or infinite. Think of the size, shape and dimensions of an egg. Compare its ability to con- tain matter with that of an aqarium, or of an ocean. The difference is visible, imaginable and immense — but what if it were not? What is infinity . . . tangible or intangible? Does it exist? Is it possible that infinity is a dimension existing only in our minds, or can it be seen on a cloudless night, scattered and diffused beyond the firey specks and the orbitting globes? And what of time and of love and of imagination? They too are encircled by an aura of limitlessness, unable to be estimated or defined. Look at a clock while it passes through a minute. Now think of sitting through an hour of the Six o ' clock News , or just quiet enjoyment. Now imagine it as one continuous cycle, night to day to night, never ending, never slowing. You are imagining infinity. Consider, too, the fact that our total existence on earth consists of one millionth of a second at a time. We progress from one fraction of an instant to another, using terms such as hours, days, and weeks to relate the amount of time we are attempting to describe. Realistically though, such terms have no substance, for only one instant of it at a time is in actual existence. What you were doing a second ago no longer exists. What you will be doing a second from now is yet to come. So what of those seconds and hours we have come through and are looking ahead to? Are they empty? I suggest they are not but are filled with second civilizations just like ourselves, and like us they too are in existence for only a second at a time. A second in time behind us there exists another world, progressing as we do — one second at a time, and following in our footsteps. Similarly, one second behind this world x , there exists a world y , and then a world z and so on. Time is an unexplored dimension, and once again you are peeking at infinity, this unimaginable element. Perhaps if you were to leap the bounds of time you would find yourself in the shower with a man from world x — much to his surprise, I assure you. And what of space, the final frontier ? Are we living inside a box or a circle or a trapezoid? If so, what is on the outside? If not, then what? Perhaps space is the final frontier only because it does not really exist. Perhaps the seemingly endless volume or space of the universe is merely a succession of time zones occupying the exact same finite plot of area. It could still be considered as infinite, but in an entirely different sense. Consider the boundaries in existence: the difference between insanity and sanity — or perhaps re- jection and freedom, lines drawn around a country, the capsule containing a soon-to-be life . . . These boundaries are there, finite and shaped — but what if they were not . . . ?

Anne Emonson So where ' s the Prince?! ! ! 95 COULD I BECOME SOMEONE ELSE? — A Short Story. Very soon after I had entered the office, sat in one of the modern, boxlike, overstuffed chairs, and looked once again at the ele- gant but functional surroundings, he asked me the question. It was casually put to me, and, as I said, only minutes after the com- mencement of our second meeting. He had already inquired to see if I were quite comfortable, and I mechanically replied ner- vously but politely assuring him that I found the chair quite all right. There was no hint of any hidden meaning behind his question, no unctious tone in his voice that I dreaded hearing, that sly tone that would put me on my guard, warning me that here was another of those condespehding doctors who thinks he is the only one who can hdp, and certainly that he is doing you a big favour by trying. Rather, his vokc was sincere, the delivery of his ques- tion sudden yet gentle. It intrigued me and I paused before answering. Indeed, it was probably minutes later when I acknow- ledged that I had heard him. He hadn ' t interrupted in that time, and I wondered if my face had indk;ated that I had, at last, been provoked into thinking . . . really thinking. I asked him, after the minutes of silence, what he meant by it. As usual, I was frustrated by my lack of words to express iny- self. I didn ' t want to know what he had meant by it . I knew that, yet I had asked him. He did what I hoped he would, and merely repeated the question, again deliberately — but not emphatically — not as if it were the mo important question in the world. That was all he said; he didn ' t expound upon it, or branch off into the importance of a completely open, honest relation- ship between doctor and patient . He knew that was impossible for me. I hadn ' t told him, but somehow, he knew. As I considered the questk n a second time, I Angered one of the ornaments on the table beside me. It blended perfectly with the modem, geometrk motif of the room. This one was a transparent, acrylk: cube, containing small pieces of mirror suspended hap- hazardly in the solid plastK. I knew the knKk-knack was plastk: when I pk;ked it up because it was not as heavy as it looked. Nothing really is just as it appears. The clear cube looked like heavy glass, but it wasn ' t. I wondered about the little pieces of mirror. Were they really mirror, as you ' re supposed to think, or made out of a new miraculous, man-made material that fools you into thinking it ' s mirror? I could see little fragments of my face in the pieces that happened to face me. As I turned it, different parts of my face ap- peared in the cube. Sometimes the reflection of my thumb or fingers, holding the object, would appear. But it was my face, the little glimpses of it in the mirror, that fascinated me. This is a valuable object, I thought. I didn ' t mean it was expensive, although it may have been. It was valuable because you could always look at it, yet see other things. I could see the reflection of a tiny part of a mosaic on the wall behind me, a reflection of part of the doctor ' s cufflink, and through the plastic, part of my dress, and the carpet with the tasteful, simple design. All this just by looking into the cube. Mostly I could see me, though. Just by altering the angle slightly, I could change the fragments of me that were visible. If only it were as easy to really see me, all the different parts of me — my thoughts, my feelings, my nerves, my soul — just by changing the angle of one ' s wrist and looking into a cube. It wasn ' t, though. I put the object down gently on the green felt pad that it had rested on before, still contemplating the question he had asked. I was surprised that my interest in his question had lasted even those few minutes. Usually, I ' m easily distracted, but something kept drawing me back to the question, insisting that I consider it, demanding that I answer it. Finally, I said something. I didn ' t want him to get bored. Why would I want to be someone else? As always, I cursed my in- adequate means of expression. He paused before answering, not a dramatic pause, or one that made me embarrassed, just a thoughtful pause. No, I wasn ' t happy as me all the time. But I was afraid to change. If I dreamed of being someone else, pre- tended that I wasn ' t shy, acted as if I weren ' t me, someone might hurt me, and I wouldn ' t be there to stop it. He didn ' t seem confused by my logic. Who am I? The question didn ' t seem trite, coming from him. I thought about it. I see me as me. But what does he see me as? Who is right? I picked up the cube from the table again. I was afraid to go on. I thought I had changed the topic when I commented upon how interesting I found the cube. I told him he had good taste; I could never find things like this. I told him I liked to look at the frag- ments of mirror, each with a different picture. Some were of him, or the room, but most were of me. I stopped. I saw now what he meant. Could I become someone else? It wasn ' t necessary. I must be someone else with each person, each situation that I deal with. I must allow myself to dream, pretend, expand. It didn ' t matter that the ornament was acrylic. Nothing like that mattered. I can get by, or more than that, I can be happy, as long as I know the different people I am. As long as I know me, the inside parts of me — my thoughts, feelings, nerves, my soul, as long as I am sure of them, the other pretending doesn ' t matter. I am real, even if most of the world is phony. Catherine Morrow Grade 13 SKYLINE Up and down flat and angled tiering, spiraling, growing. Misty shadows, grey and square.

His great concerto died once more. Linda Breithaupt Grade 13 LISTENING I walked unnoticing through the forest undergrowth. Then I stopped and listened. I heard sounds that my ears had not heard before, as if they had finally been opened after years of shut-in silence. As I listened, I heard the fresh bubbling of a stream as it gurgled between the rocks in a sparkle of sunlight. I heard the ceaseless tapping of a woodpecker, drilling holes into the branches of a tree top. Birds sang shrill, happy notes in joyous union. As I stood there listening, I wondered why I had not listened before.

Illumination! At last Comprehension. Sandy Smythe Grade 12 99 THE LAIR Among the tangled branches clothed in green, The morning sun sheds its first beams of light. And filtering through the dewy dampened leaves, A perfect web becomes a glistening sight. Each silken strand supports a shimmering row Of sparkling crystal fire, tiny beads of dew. Under the weight the web hangs calmly limp. Each diamond drop reflects a golden hue. No breeze or movement is there to disturb The intricate design so deftly formed. The crystal drops shrink silently and disappear As they by morning ' s early light are warmed. The sun has done its work; the strands are taut. The web invisible against the light of day. There is now purpose to the strange design; The weaver patiently awaits his prey. Leslie Beattie Grade 13 THE RACE I hurriedly latched the door, to be protected from the storm. I stood inside my cottage, for it was so safe and warm. I looked outside my window, as a streak of lightning went by. A chill went through my body, and I let out a frightful cry. I closed the drapes in an instant, for I could not bear the sight Of strange shapes outlined by lightning, and the whistle of the wind in the night. I turned towards my family, sitting comfortably around the fire, To be with them and know their warmth, was all that I could desire.

One was an organist, performing in the local church. Arthritis produced a decayed fruit. One was a business man, locked away in an office. Ability was diluted by senility. One lived on unemployment insurance, rejoicing in his freedom. The wine was left to improve too long. They talk together, they laugh together, they reminisce as one. Like a fine vintage, they believe they improve with age. They live in a home as wine lives in a cellar. Untainted liquor — last of the summer wine. Running, Hurry up, it ' s cold.

The tree ' s knotted arms swayed lifelessly in the cold, raw wind. Occasionally a gale would tear the spindley branches while it whipped fiercely about the tree. The rest hung left to decay. The tree stood alone. And the wind whipped fiercely, violently about it.

Watching the picture on the wall of blue sky, a blood-red orb hanging motionless kissing the earth good-night with tired rays, sinking lower and lower, waiting for dreamland.

A rematch was held at Branksome against St. George ' s. Unfortunately we were beaten again, but we had a great time, and I ' m sure all those present would agree that we were far superior in the diving exhibition.
