To the students, staff and parents who put up with these difficulties with so little complaint and so much good nature, my very sincere thanks. This year has been especially hard on our graduates for they have lived through all the construction but have had precious little opportunity to savour the results The rest of us will have time to enjoy our new gym, classrooms, carpeted bright halls and, for the first time in years, a comfortably heated building. But enjoyment is not sufficient I hope that we will continue to appreciate what so many people are doing for our school — the board and staff who have spent several years in planning our restoration, the architect and builder who have taken extraordinary care in creating a pleasant and practical environment for us and those many friends of the school who are so generously sharing the expense. It is now our responsibility to see that their faith in us is well founded, that we continue to strive for excellence in all facets of school life. languages music, art and drama 7 the editors Co Editors-ln-Chief Literary Editor Photography Editor Sports Editor Advertising Editor Junior School Editor Staff Advisors Nancy Hutchins Sue Wurtzburg Barb Morris Lynn McGuire Hayley Parker Deb.bie Hemstead Pippa Harris Miss Kenny Mrs. Gray editorial? As the final deadline rapidly approached, we were overcome with a feeling of horror Lodged in the back of our minds was the knowledge that sooner or later the inevitable would occur — an editorial would have to be written Finally, we could stall no longer With anything but profound thoughts in our minds, we sat at a desk, placed paper and pens in front of us and swore we would have the editorial written before we left the school The garbage pail filled to over flowing, the skies grew dark and the editorial remained unwritten As dinner time came and went, we decided that organization was the key if we were ever going to get anything done We needed a set of basic rules to follow All our energy was devoted to compiling some rules needed to compose the perfect editorial. Upon completing a list of rules, we decided that they might be as entertaining as an editorial; thus, we present a few rules to remember when writing an editorial; 1. Begin with a definition of editorial from the dictionary. This will ensure that the readers know exactly what it is they are reading. 2. Leap into the editorial with a catchy phrase, such as: Rumor has it that . . or A great discovery has been made! These are both useful eye-catchers. Try to avoid using: This has been a great year. We had 175 days of sunshine and only 150 days of rain. The smart reader will notice that 40 days are unaccounted for. This gives a poor (if perhaps truthful) impression of the editors. 3. State as clearly as possible what the theme of the yearbook is If there is no theme, mvent one to prevent any embarrassment on the part of the editors. 4. Declare this year to have been the most spirited in the school ' s history. For example: This year has been the most spirited in the school ' s history. Don ' t be discouraged by the fact that this has been said for the past twenty years. 5. Briefly outline your own personal history at the school. It should be as com- plimentary as possible and be sure to omit any details of any unsavoury past. 6. Acknowledgements are a necessary part of the yearbook editorial. We offer: Thanks to everyone. This will ensure that no one has been left out. 7. At this point your editorial is nearing completion. But a final profound thought is needed to tie in all loose ends. We suggest: Quod incepimus conf iciemus. Latin quotes mean a great deal to most students. Thus, this would be an appropriate conclusion. Editorially yours, Sue and Nancy Post Script: Despite our attempts to avoid seriousness, a special word of thanks must go to Miss Kenny and Mrs. Gray. What we have begun we shall finish. thinking back Graduation meant turning the page, so to speak, or of coming to the bend in the road only to find another bend I guess what I ' m trying to say is that it signified a new beginning. The actual day was a jumble of thoughts and feelings. None of us could believe we were really saying good-bye, becoming Old Girls, going to university or other prospective careers. None of us could believe we were graduating. Not many people can understand how one can become attached to a school, its people, its buildings and its grounds. I know I did in the short time I was at Branksome. Perhaps that explains the mixture of happiness and sadness of graduation. I knew that I was leaving but I also knew that I could always come back and be welcome. I ' m sure that all graduates share this feeling which gives Branksome a sense of continuity and future. The weeks prior to our graduation day were really busy and the actual day seemed to fly right past me. However the more recent installation of the prefects had a lot more significance to me. I had had the summer holidays and a month of university to appreciate all Branksome had to offer. It was very hard to think that this was the last ceremony I would be an active part of. - )ane Wiley, 1977 prefect Eileen Smith, Head Girl in 1977 I ' m now at Princeton University and am having a won- derful time. Besides the heavy and demanding workload there are tons of extracurricular activities: movies to see, concerts to attend, lectures by visiting VIPs to listen to and art exhibitions to go to. But don ' t get the wrong idea — not everything we do is educational or serious. We Princetonians do occasionally (just occasionally, mind you) have our hyper moments when we get very punchy. - Patty Kuo, 1977 graduate A major problem at university is deciding what to wear in the morning. However an easy solution is to pull on my Branksome blouse. The excuse — no time for laundry, haven ' t done it for weeks! - Diana Harris, 1977 prefect, editor-in-chief of SLOGAN Branksome was an invaluable op- portunity to get to know different people. When one gets into the outside world these chances become fewer. - Liz Herridge, 1977 graduate prize list 1976-1977 JUNIOR SCHOOL PRIZES SENIOR SCHOOL PRIZES General Proficiency Grade 12 Prizes Grade 1 - Grade 2 - Grade 3 - Grade 4 - Grade 5 - Grade 6 - Grade 7R8- Grade 7R9- Grade 7R10- Grade 8R3- Grade 8R4- Grade8R7- Mairi-Ann Padmore Carol Riley Lisa Celinas Rosalind Glasspool Catriona Padmore Catherine Temelcoff Silvie Zakuta Martha Wilson Kelly White Amanda Worley Kelly Hawke Julia Robertson The Bone Memorial Prize for French in Grade 8 — Kelly Hawke Alexandra Ward Bursary for Music Deborah Chambers Ann Bayliss Cup for Public Speaking in the Junior School Anne-Louise Genest Stephanie Telfer Memorial for School Enthusiasm — Sarah MacCulloch Alumnae Prize for Outstanding Contribution to the Junior School Alison Wiley Scripture in Grade 8 — Simonetta Lanzi Handicrafts and Sewing in Grade 7 Holly Chercover Junior School Activity Awards — Julia Allan, Holly Chercover, Catherine Herridge, Mary Kelton, Sarah MacCulloch, Judith McClure, Marilyn Wallace, Alison Wiley.

A massive reconstruction program was instigated and com- pleted . . a project which dominated each Branksomite ' s school life, from September to June. Some of the girls were sad. No longer would they be able to walk along the familiar old wooden floors. No longer would Mrs. Coulter be waiting to welcome the latecomers at the end of the checker-board hall. No longer would the waiting line for the telephone in the trophy room be the place to catch up on the latest gossip, and no longer would each swimming class be an experience to remember! To these despairing Branksomites . . . cheer up! We will now be able to perform HAMLET and JULIUS CAESAR on a fine stage rather than a soapbox. Wall-to-wall carpeting will allow latecomers to slip into the school unnoticed, and each teacher will have her own classroom so that she won ' t be late for class! The swimming pool will be as blue, cool and refreshing as the Mediterranean, and the common room equipped with all the latest fashions in common room furnishings. This year at Branksome has provided all of us with many memorable experiences, from choosing the best looking workman to trying to find a common room for the grads; from singing and skits to organizing activities and selling flowers for the Heart Foundation. Although the face of the school has changed, the spirit has remained the same. To next year ' s grads, enjoy your common room, and to everyone, thanks for a great year.

The Opheleo Society has instigated many drives this year in its effort to serve. Ramabai Week had a tremendous response and raised approximately $2000.00. The Opheleo Society sold chocolate bars and candles which were a welcome addition to those good old bake sales. Our many drives: poppies sold for the veterans, Christmas cards sent to the Ramabai Mukti Mission, presents donated to the Chum Gift Wish, were all very successful. Next term is in the planning with a Swim-a-thon in prospect. Thanks for a great year. Nicky and Sandy The Ramabai Rout was held on Saturday, October 29 in the Residence Dining Hall. We raised $225.00 for the Ramabai fund. The formal is planned for Saturday, March 4 at the Hunt Club. The following is a list of qualifications you should have to be an executive of the Beta Kappa. You should: - be able to match up long lists of names and vital statistics -know the advantages of direct dialing - be able to remain cool when your parents confront you with the telephone bill (listing numerous calls to Lakefield) - have nerves of steel and be prepared to handle many last minute crises - have the willpower to refrain from nibbling the munchies meant for the dance - be able to peel scotch tape off the wall while leaving the paint intact. The most important function of the Beta Kappa com- mittee is to organize the dances so that everyone has a good time. It has been a great year. Many thanks to all the en- thusiastic committee members. A special thanks to Miss Northgrave, Jean and Maureen.

In complete silence two large black oxfords are seen tiptoeing towards the area of the reference books in the resource centre. So as not to disturb her studious fellow pupils, the Branksome girl, searching for great wisdom in the ten volumes of the ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, removes a book from the shelf. Suddenly all the volumes fall to the ground with a great crash. Usually, however, the library enjoys a quiet atmosphere. The ever-growing, very frequently used resource centre gained a valuable additon of material as a result of our first Buy a book for Branksome campaign . Because of the enthusiasm and support which we received, a three year magazine subscription to the Beaver and 227 new books are now available to the Branksome students Our special thanks are extended to Mrs. Dick for her guidance and un- derstanding and to the cheerful committee for their excellent work.

In the first term we devoted our energy to discussing solutions to racial prejudice. The second term began with a slide presentation on the Holy Land, which was followed by several guest speakers and a visit from the student team of the Ontario Bible College. In the third term we p lan to have some games days, a few guest speakers and more movies. We would like to thank Mrs Ranger for the wonderful help she has given us this year and we would also like to thank all the Branksomites who came to the meetings. Pax, Nancy and Clare 31 choir This year ' s choir has been a group of hard working people. I would like to thank the students that make up the choir; they have given up many evenings and Saturdays for rehearsal. The choir ' s executive deserves thanks for planning a successful choir trip to Camp Couchiching and for the assistance it provided in preparing the choir for the Carol Service. Most of all, I would like to extend my thanks to Mr. Davey who pulls the choir together and makes us proud to be a part of the Branksome Hall Choir It has been a great year and the enthusiasm has been inspiring!

Our happiness soon became grief as we were handed 3,000 Alumnae envelopes to stuff, seal, stamp and send. We then recruited volunteers to help us. In fact, we acquired so many helpers that we could not afford to award all a treat, as promised. We would like to thank Miss Snowden at the office for all her help when the seal and stamp machine broke down. She took pity on us and offered us a smile and some of the teachers ' tea Our biggest assignment was the bazaar. Most of the students co-operated by selling their bazaar tickets and helping us with the student bazaar. The student bazaar was a great success. We raised over $450.00 for the school. We would like to thank everyone who made the bazaar a success, and especially Patti Thomson, Mrs Allen debating finals The Metro Toronto Debating Finals were held at Branksome again this year. As well as hosting the finals, B.H.S. entered three teams. Debbie Colman Marilyn Barefoot Caroline Helbronner Carolyn Campbell Kate Wiley Jane Moes Carolyn Campbell placed seventh and Caroline Helbronner placed fourth out of forty-eight debators. As a team they placed third out of twenty-three teams. They will be going to Queen ' s University on March 11 and 12 to debate in the Ontario Finals. between classes changes can be made fashion at b.h.s. A stranger to the school might think that because all the students wear a uniform we all look basically the same. However once a student has been at Branksome for a month, at the most, she (or he as is sometimes the case) changes her uniform ever so slightly. As a result, by the end of the year each girl has given her uniform that personal look that makes her stand out in a crowd. some things you might have missed Either go where you ' re looking or look where you ' re going. -Miss Claxton Girls, what are some of the possible themes of this novel?

Cynthia Skelton Grade 13 ON COMING OUT OF THE SUBWAY LATE ONE NIGHT The black blanket now covers everything unprotected by the tall, glowing globes. Each globe cares for its own little space. Beyond it there is nothing. The Blackness now controls. The Blackness. It moves without sound or visible motion, yet so quickly. Hilary McPhail Grade 1 3 All things come to an end Sometime. Or, so we are told. Like the icicle which builds up its strength through the winds and snows of winter, Solid. Immovable. Yet, it begins to melt with the warm rays of the spring sun. No. The iciclewill not die, but itwill live on; Perhaps in a trout-swarming river Or some silent pond where wild geese will taste the cool water. And be refreshed. Bridget Wiley Grade 13 87 AFTERNOON OF A FAUN Above the drone of Miss Whimpers ' voice the strains of a woodwind instrument were audible; at least, they were to Diane. But then again, one ' s thoughts were apt to wander in one of Miss Whimpers ' classes, with the express purpose of drowning out the insipid whine she used as a voice. When you ' re sixteen and eager to experience life, school, and Miss Whimpers in particular, can act as a catalyst to the destruction of aspirations rather than a catapult to success. That was Diane. She had always found it rather ironic that while most people marched to the tunes of assorted drummers, she waltzed to a flautist ' s fantasia; the only difference between the two was that Diane ' s Piper was tangible. It frightened her when she directed her thoughts towards him. He had begun haunting her life only two months ago, making her restless and aware of her exciting life, a situation both strange and uncomfortable to her. He scared her, this pubescent Pan. He had appeared, as now, during one of Miss Whimpers ' orations. Since then, the Piper had tampered with her life as a composer does with his music: adding a few sharps, flats, and notes to it to give the music unexpected turns and twists. Often, she reflected wryly, his tune was slightly off-key; it sounded like the loud protest of a tyre as it is blasted against the pavement. The Piper ' s tin ear had led her into joining a Hare Krishna sect and later working as a dye technician in a beauty salon over a delicatessan. The former had been tedious; the latter, though perhaps more colourful, also served to drive Diane back to school. Her catapult had failed. A slight crescendo in Miss Whimpers ' whine brought Diane back to present-day with the realization that there was a question being directed at her. She bit back a retort and answered properly and dutifully; being facetious is not being a good student. She was back at school after all the side-stepping. Like the musician, she had found that you have to do a lot of note-mixing before achieving the perfect chord, and that complications often lead to simplifications of the most difficult parts. Diane gazed upwards. The Piper was no long playing; he was sitting in a corner, his head tilted to one side, pipes dangling from his hand, listening, not leading but being led. She began her homework. Who knows, she mused, maybe this time we ' ll reach high C. Suzie Dingwall Grade 1 1 88 The August moon had risen earlier than usual that night, and it shone with great brilliance in the clear, dark, night sky. It cast a shimmering light on the still water and it played on the backs of the tiny, black water spiders as they skimmed across the smooth surface. The night air was warm and heavy, and only the soft sound of chirping crickets seemed to lighten the heaviness of the silence and the darkness of the empty night. The dark shadow of a tall, slender figure sat on the edge of the dock; her delicate feet dangled in the cool water. Her body appeared quiet and relaxed. Presently, she picked up a small, flat stone and skimmed it across the water. It skipped twice and then landed with a plop , creating a miniature explosion of concentric circles. Each circle crawled slowly along the surface of the water until it reached the shore. Then it melted back into the deep, dark blue. There was silence again. CathyleFeuvre Cradell As it nears, the scene changes drastically. Effort replaces effortlessness. Crewmen anxiously await their commands. The captain looks out for any change of wind or wave. He begins to spin the wheel. It is a tense moment. Crisp orders sound everywhere. Haul away! Crewmen strain and grunt, heaving, horsing and hauling in the sheets at their quickest, ducking the speeding blocks as they whiz over from port to starboard. Each man tries to keep his balance on the tossing deck. Loosen this. Haul in that. Everything is measured with the utmost precision. The sails are trimmed. The captain strains to keep her on a straight course. All sailors are busy coiling the snaking sheets lying about the deck. They are ready to repeat the procedure, tack after tack, jibe after jibe. The flow of commands never seems to stop. Now the ship has passed and melts smaller, hazily blending into the sunset. It is, once again, a silent, effortless and graceful Brigantine.

Other times we like the cool, and that is what we want to be, when it is hot. At night cool is a bad word, but in the day it changes back into a good thing to be. When it gets cool out, it sometimes rains. Rain isn ' t a good thing. Once after I ate my dinner it rained very hard. I played with my car in the living room. Daddy said the rain was coming in the front door, so Mommy put towels along the bottom. She told me they would stop the rain, but still I thought that if the rain got lots of drops together it would be very strong and push in through the door, so I sat on the fireplace wall with my car. In the morning the rain filled the ditches along the road. Some boys wore their bathing suits and got in the ditches to swim Mommy said it was dirty but I walked in the ditches anyway. If the rain is very bad it brings thumber-lights with it. They happen when the clouds bump together and make big crashes. If you run fast you can get home before the thumber-lights get you. Once the rain was nice to me. I was at my friend ' s house. I had to go home but her mommy said I should wait ' cause the rain was too hard. 1 had to wait ' till it was softer. I put my coat on. When I was ready to go the rain stopped. After I got home it started again. That was nice for the rain to do.

The machine did not give in or quit for a sec ' , It hammered as fast as Billy Campbell. By three o ' clock Billy Campbell Was almost dead with fatigue.

The air whistled in your ears as if it were trying to tell you a long forgotten secret, and the sorrow of the battle which was fought here decades ago. On the edge of the Plain was the view of the St Lawrence River. On one high bank stook a long forgotten tower. The old cone-shaped tower was once a lookout post which was built by the British, after their defeat of the French The name of the tower is the Martello Tower. The tower stood in the oncoming wind. Years ago stones had failed from the tower ' s side, and the wind came blowing through its hollow interior. The tower stood by the river with the treacherous cliffs below it. No one really knows the tower ' s history. The key has been lost in the wind, and its secrets have gone with it. Laura Loewen Grade 7 91 RIBBIT ' S STORY Do you know Ribbit? Of course, you ' ll say. He ' s our mascot, the jolly green frog. Have you ever wondered how he came to be at Branksome? I wondered just this, and put the question to many. But no one seemed to know the full story. Then someone suggested to me, Why not ask Ribbit himself? Well, this proved to be a very good idea as he was most willing to share his fascinating story with me. It began this way ... One day, not so very long ago, I was born in the bonny Highlands of Scotland in a lowland area, if you ' ll pardon the expression. By lowland area I mean a pond. As a wee fellow I had happy times swimming and hopping in our pond with my friends. Their names were Ferdinand, Fred, and Fiona. We also went to school together and learned how to count lily pad blossoms and read books made of leaves. But the highlight of our day was doing the Highland Fling. How carefree we felt, lightly hopping up and down with the windy salt air gently blowing our olive green kilts of the McFrog Tartan. Every Saturday, Ferdinand, Fred, Fiona, and I had a jolly time going for our Highland Fling dancing lesson. Hopping along from stone to stone, we would make our way along the shore, laughing gaily as we went. On the afternoon of the Spring Dancing Recital everyone was excited. We were going to dance in front of almost all of McPond Town! The sun shone brightly, the new lily pad chairs for the audience were very comfortable, and the piper who accompanied our dancing had brought his largest and most melodius set of bagpipes for the occasion. It promised to be a perfect day. 92 0 But perfect it was not to be. For in the excitement of preparing for the dancing show I tore my kilt! It wasn ' t just a little tear. No, quite the contrary; the whole lower half had separated from the upper half and was hanging by just a few threads. Whatever was I going to do? Well, as you may know, sometimes when you need an idea in a hurry it ' s slower coming than when you ' re not in a hurry, I clutched my poor kilt and hopped along to where my class was gathering near the stage. I moved as quickly as I could so no one would notice my kilt. It was then that an idea came to me! Why not quietly hop into one of the bagpiper ' s numerous pipes and hide there until the performance was over? I hopped on one of the slender columns of wood which stood up on the bagpipes. Then I positioned myself comfortably in the tube. I was just congratulating myself on my marvellous hiding place when I heard the piper take a big breath before beginning to play. All of a suddent I had the strange sensation of rising upward! Up and up I went out of the pipe and then I was skimming over the heads in the audience. It was not long before they were just a dot in the distance as I gathered speed and gained altitude. It seemed as if I were a roller coaster, ferris wheel and swing, all at the same time — the air currents were so playful. Just ahead of me loomed a huge pond with the words Atlantic Ocean printed neatly on it. While whizzing through the air I dozed and soon slept soundly While I slept my hand let go of the kilt and the air funnelled through the massive hole, allowing me to float gently to the ground. And can you guess where I awoke? Yes, that ' s it. Right here at Branksome beside the textile lab windows. When those kind-hearted seamstresses saw me sitting on the snow, they rushed over, opened the window, and I hopped in. No sooner was I in the room when tape measures encircled me and in no time they had made me a suit. It ' s the green one of the most generous proportions you see me in today. I wear this comfortable outfit all year at school But in the summer I take it off and head for a cool pond. There I teach the Highland Fling to anyone who would like to learn. If you look carefully near the shore in summer you may see a frog hopping in a rhythmic way and you ' ll know we ' re practising — perhaps for our annual recital! Trish Parker Grade 13 93 Grandfather The grandchildren sat quietly around his bed. His daughter-in-law stood by his side, as if on guard, chattering aimlessly about the picnic they had been at last Sunday. He wondered where the little one was, but then remembered the hospital rule about youngsters. Do say hello to young Ian for me. He realized that he had interrupted the picnic story. I ' ll remember to. Grandad. That was his grandaughter Patricia, She was going to be very pretty in a few years. Well, said the daughter-in-law, we really must be going. Perhaps James will be in to see you later tonight. James, that was his daughter-in-law ' s husband, or was it James, his son? Ah, yes, he remembered now, James was his son, but he had married his daughter-in-law. They were husband and wife and they had his grandchildren. Yes, it was perfectly clear. He stopped thinking about it. The room was silent, but the hospital was noisy. Oh, they had all left. That was why the room was quiet. He was the only one there. A nurse rushed by his open door. Two more people passed, going in the opposite direction. They were so many people out there, all going somewhere. He was doing nothing, absolutely nothing. The world was whirling by him, but he was no longer a part of it. He thought of his youth, when it had seemed to him that the world would stop if he wanted it to. He had thought about how it would be when he was older. He was going to become powerful, rich and famous. Well here he was, more older than he had ever imagined, but power, fortune and fame had somehow escaped him. His youth had been filled with dreams of what was to be. Now his days were spent dreaming of what was. It would make no difference to anyone, except maybe his family, if he were dead right now. The doctor would be angry if he heard him talk that way. Well Mr. M., you ' re doing just fine. I ' ll be in again tomorrow morning. He wondered what the doctor meant by doing fine . Maybe he was talking about still being alive. The son and daughter-in-law pro bably knew just how fine he was doing, the grandchildren too, even the littlest one. He was sure they all knew the meaning of fine . In fact he knew it himself. He wasn ' t getting better, ever. Life was like a huge hill. It took a lot of time and sweat to get to the top, but once you were there, the only way to go was down. Well he was on his way down. It was just like when he was little, riding his bicycle with his feet off the pedals. He had lost control. His speed of descent was rapidly increasing. They all knew it and he knew it too. ... tomorrow evening. Oh, that was James, he had just finished talking. Really, his mind had been wandering. Poor James, what did he think? He could hear him when he got home to his wife . . . Weil, I ' m sure it won ' t be too mu ch longer. The whole time I was there he was in a daze. I don ' t think he even noticed me. That was true. James wouldn ' t be lying, but it would be so much nicer if he said Grandad sends you his love or He said he ' s looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Oh well, that was in the past; it couldn ' t be helped. In fact, his whole life was in the past. It wasn ' t going to go anywhere. Here he was and here it would end. But when, and what exactly would happen? Continues . . . 94 Maybe tonight when he was asleep his heart would stop. He would never wake up. That would be all right, a nice way to go. Yes, it was decided then — he ' d die in his sleep, quietly and peacefully. It happened at that moment. His heart leapt and a yell resounded off the bare hospital walls. A nurse rushed in, followed by a doctor. What was it? Had he screamed? He wasn ' t sure but they seemed to think so. A huge complicated machine appeared in the doorway, pulling a pretty nurse behind it. It wasn ' t fair; this wasn ' t what he had decided. All sorts of things were happening now. Nurses and doctors and machines and noises. The sounds grew and grew until finally they exploded. He had reached the very bottom of his hill. What next? His room was silent once more.

I still cannot believe it. The year is 1938 and the month is April. I live near a small country town called Shallow Lake which is in Manitoba. Our farm is called Split Creek Farm and my pa is a farmer. My ma does the odd bit of dressmaking for ladies near by. On our farm we have one hundred beef cows. I always have to do my part around the farm. I wash the dishes, help cook, and draw water from the well twice a day. For my work I receive an allowance of five cents a week. With my money I buy my Christmas and birthday presents. Sometimes I even have money left to buy a one cent peppermint stick. One cheerful bright sunny day I walked through Shallow Lake on my way to school. I felt as if I had not one care in the world and I just let my braids swing freely in the balmy weather. As I passed the Shallow Lake General Store I noticed something new in its show window. It was like a flowing mass of colour with every shade in the rainbow. I stepped closer and the brilliant colours transformed into thousands upon thousands of tiny jelly beans. I stood spellbound. When I had returned to my senses I noticed a sign hanging on the Window which read as follows, ' Guess how many for only a penny. Jelly Bean Contest Grand Draw April 30, 1938. I remembered that I had a penny in my pocket that I was going to use to purchase some liquorice with after school, but this deal was far better. I ran up the store ' s old wooden steps and in the door. Mr. Hooper, the store owner, came from behind a table to see what I wanted. I told him I had a penny and wished to enter the contest. I filled out a card which had the number seven on the upper right hand corner. Seven is my lucky number. I filled out my name, Anne Douglas, my age, ten, and the number of jelly beans though there were. I wrote 1,000,000 because it looked like there were that many. I took a last glance at the card, dropped it in the box, paid my penny and ran off to school because it was getting late. I could not keep my mind off the contest. All I ever thought about was red, yellow, white, blue, green and black jelly beans. I do not know how, but somehow the time passed on and it was April 30. I ran to the store to hear the winning number. At 4;00 p.m. Mr. Hooper came out and drew the winning ticket. He yelled number . . . seven, screamed, I yelled, I lost control of myself and I fainted. When I came to, I was faced with three problems. How would I transport the jelly beans? How would I store them? And finally, how would I ever eat them all? I am sure I will find three logical answers eventually, but who cares because I won the million! Ginny Harris Grades Written under examination conditions. 5? MY BEST FRIEND My best friend Suzanne Seigel had a haunting effect on my childhood. Come on, Robin. Why won ' t you climb the tree so we can have our picnic? Dr. Pellow is gone, so he can ' t catch us. I didn ' t feel well as I looked up at that massive tree. Suzanne didn ' t help matters. All she did while perched up on the highest branch was stare down at me as if to say, Robin is a scaredy cat . I was. I was also a scaredy cat when it came to those funny tests. That was the year the grade two class was to be split up into the advanced class who would do grades two and three in one year and those who would climb the ladder step by step . It was a bright sunny day. The teachers had us line up. Names were called for those to step into the line facing me. Suzanne ' s name was sixth on the list. All I could see were her eyes gleaming in the bright sunlight I knew why those names were called. It was those funny tests Mrs. Attwell told us not to worry about. The tests confused me with all those baby circles we had to colour in. Finally recess came and no more circles. I didn ' t feel well. As I walked out the junior door, Suzanne screeched, Robin, Mom said you could come over after school for milk and cookies. Oh year, we ' ll go riding on my new bicycle too . I guess Suzanne forgot. 1 didn ' t know how to ride a bicycle. That afternoon she demonstrated the art of bicycling for one hour around her big circular driveway. Ours was too small and made of gravel. Finally it came to my turn. I held on tight and peddled while Suzanne tried to balance me by running alongside. She didn ' t hang on for long so I never did learn how to ride that afternoon. Suzanne told me I was too heavy for her arms to keep me balanced. After that day she often asked, Robin, tell me the truth. Why does your mother only put one potato on your plate? My mother gives me two . I never could answer that question. Instead, I ' d put my head down as if I had done something wrong in class. Suzanne would stare at me until I said something. I don ' t know, I muttered. When I told Suzanne we were moving I was astonished by her reaction. A tear fell from her eye We were best friends then. Lisa Lucas Grade 1 3 J 98 NOTRE PATRIE UNIE Unity - harmony.

My name is John Doe. I am a perfectly ordinary man, with a pleasant suburban home, a wife, two children, a dog, two cars, and two television sets. My wife is not a radical feminist. My kids are not into drugs or alcohol or any other hanky-panky pastimes kids can get into. My dog eats Alpo Dog Food and isn ' t overweight. I drive the 1974 Chevelle Malibu, and my wife uses the 1973 Volkswagen Rabbit. Our family doesn ' t even have fights over Mary Tyler Moore vs. Starsky and Hutch because we own two TV sets. In short, when our elected representatives refer to the average Joe , they mean us. I have been reading articles in the TRIBUNE about the rise in crime of all sorts. Ghastly thing, crime. Young children being kidnapped on the way to school, senior citizens being mugged, hijackings — what is the world coming to? In my day . . . well, that ' s another story. My wife and i have ad- monished our children when they accepted a ride home from choir rehearsals. We ' ve warned them not to speak to strangers. I keep a loaded Colt .45 in my dresser drawer. My wife locks her Rabbit doors when she parks in the supermarket parking lot. We don ' t allow our teen-aged daughter to walk alone in the streets at night. Inconveniences, right? But what can we do? Ghastly thing, crime. But what can I, John Doe, do? Sorry for the interruption there. My little boy just asked me to watch Baa Baa Black Sheep with him. He particularly liked the part during which Robert Conrad receives a violent punch in the stomach and knocks out a few of his aggressor ' s teeth in return. No, I don ' t like this trend toward violence in the media. In my day . . . well, that ' s another story. All the non-comedy shows on prime time television have some degree of violence in them. My wife and I had restricted TV-viewing to an hour a day for our son, but he complained that all his friends got to watch The Six Million Dollar Man , Starsky and Hutch , and Hawaii Five-O all in one sitting. We gave in, of course. We have to encourage independence in the youngsters, you know. Besides, we don ' t want to lose their love. Sure, he gets a little strange after watching some shows — he has a glazed look in bis eyes and he pretends he ' s shooting at enemy planes — but we can put up with that. He ' s just a kid after all. No, I don ' t like this trend toward violence on television. But what can I do? Financially we ' re quite well off. The mortgage on our house will be paid off in about six more years. In January we paid the last installment on our refrigerator and range. We have some money in the bank — for going to Florida in winter time, you know; the kids feel pretty bad if their friends go and they don ' t — but our cars are still unpaid for; our Witten in two hours under examination conditions. 100 swimming pool is unpaid for; o ur washer-dryer and dishwasher are unpaid for. And now my daughter wants a car. She says her best friend has one, so why can ' t she? I ' ll be going to the bank to get another loan for her car. Can ' t do to alienate her, you know. Speaking of loans, have you noticed the interest has gone up again? Why doesn ' t the government do something about it instead of sending millions of dollars in aid to Bangladesh? Where the hell is Bangladesh anyway? Why should we help them? What did they ever do for us? And the news these days is full of things happening in Rhodesia and Zaire. What I say is, why can ' t they report on things closer to home? I couldn ' t give a damn about what ' s going on in Mexico or wherever. I am a Canadian, and what ' s it to me if there ' s a coup d ' etat in Timbuctoo? There are two oceans separating us from t he rest of the world, you know It seems that they forget that sometimes. Sure, it ' s a small world, but I ' m here and they ' re there, and never the twain shall meet! Usually I ' m a Conservative, but last time I voted for Mallory. Great guy, eh? My wife voted for Kennedy because she thought he was good-looking. Women, you know. Why I voted for Mallory? Well, he was going to give us tax cuts. I thought, I need all the money I can get, right? So I voted for Mallory ' s tax cuts. Yeah, I know he ' s very liberal. He wants to establish relations with Vietnam, wherever that is. But so what? I don ' t care whether we have relations with Vietnam or not; I just want my tax cuts. I agree with people who say we have to consider the candidate carefully and not base our decision on his abundance of teeth or his Ivy League education. The thing is, though, I don ' t have any time for evaluating a person ' s character thoroughly. TV documentaries and newspaper editorials are too boring. And TV documentaries always coincide with a hockey game. Beats me why some people want to watch discussions on a political fight when instead they can watch a real- live fight on ice! Sure, you can ask me one more question. That ' s a tough one. It ' s hard to say what or who is the people ' s 1 enemy. There are so many evils in our society, so many problems and no one to solve them. People today are mindless and conforming. And when they don ' t like something, they just sit back passively and don ' t do anything about it. I don ' t think I can pinpoint anything or anyone as the people ' s 1 enemy. Say, let me ask you that. Who do YOU think is s ociety ' s 1 enemy? Patricia Kuo Grade 13 . 101 LIFE: A DINNER PARTY A thought inside mama ' s curves, barely moving. Hors d ' oeuvres.

A week that will surely go down in the annals of Environment Canada. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship between Branksome Hall and Albion Hills, Clad in Strauss ' (and I don ' t mean )ohann ' s) best, forty-four Branksomites gathered outside Main House anxious to be away after surviving the Strawberry Festival and Mother ' s Day the previous weekend. In rolled our luxury, air conditioned, stereo-equipped mode of transportation. In other words, a Travelways school bus special Luxury was being able to sit in your seat instead of on top of the luggage in the last three or four rows. Air con- ditioning was achieved by opening windows at strategic intervals while cruising at 60 mph (or 100 kph for you metric conscious people). Our stereo system consisted of listening to Janet Cilvert ' s tapes of Kim McDonald ' s recorder. One hour and ten settle downs ' later, we were manoevering through scenic downtown Albion Hills On our left we have the new Albion Hills Alpine Ski Area. Notice the reforestation. On our right we can see the parking lot and public swimming area followed closely by a picnic area. All of which is surrounded by acres of parkland Up ahead was the field centre which was to be home sweet home for the next five days Crebs were left in the mud room, bags in the cloak room and it was into the lab for the traditional Welcome to Albion Hills spech by its director, Dr Robert Williams There were general introductions of the staff, an outline of our activities and a laying down of the rules We were told specifically to walk, not run down the ramp because if you meet me or Mr Honsburger it won ' t be me that goes flying over the rail into that stone wall What do you weigh in at, Mr. Honsburger, two, two and a quarter? Wakey, wakey, eggs and bacey! was the cry next morning at seven Before breakfast we were right into the swing of things. Each group had its chores Some of us went to the weather station outside the field centre which con- sisted of a Stevenson Screen, a temperature gage, wind direction and velocity gage and a sunlight recorder By collecting the data these instruments offered, we were able to record the information for Environment Canada as well as to predict a forecast to deliver at the next meal Others went to the farm about a quarter of a mile up the hill. You mustn ' t be late when you ' re on farm duty as the pigs need their breakfast by eight! Dusting and vacuuming were the jobs of another crew, while kitchen detail was looked after by the rest After breakfast we began the first of our sessions First on the agenda was farm studies The invitation says pig sty cleaning at ten Dress . . provided?!? Three of us were given green overalls, gum boots, a shovel, a broom and sent off to the pens First we had to move the pigs out We learned that a firm smack on the posterior is twice as effective as a feeble Why don ' t you walk out that door and hang a left, piggy? There was an added attraction when Dr Williams performed castrations on the young pigs A few of us tried our semi-steady hands at it as well. If only I could get rid of this guilty feeling! Chickens and cows were tended to before we moved out to the fields. Here, we were divided into planters, hoers and compost shovellers. Guess which group had the fewest members? Anyone who would like the worth of her woodlot estimated can call on us. Or perhaps you would like some gabion baskets or other types of erosion control installed in your stream Maybe you would like us to test the acid content of your soil or make a profile for you We ' re well trained in all of these areas. We also did studies in succession and many were the soakers trying to get a perfect plaster cast from an animal ' s imprint in the stream banks. And so the week went, with Miss Kashul blazing trails with her hiking boots, inspiring us to our bird watching, and Mrs. Hulme playing head photographer to keep out of the compost heap. The last morning was taken up by an orienteering contest and when the last lonely stragglers arrived there was an awards ceremony in the lab. Then it was first one to the camp fire gets to chop the wood and luscious foot-longs were madly consumed by all. Unfortunately it was time to load up the old luxury liner. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Line up for one last group shot and we were on our way with a little more health, a lot more knowledge, a few private jokes and a lot of laryngitis.

We had a difficult beginning this year because we had no pool until January. I am proud to say that despite our inconvenience we were again victorious in bringing the Bishop Cup to Branksome. After several weeks of training at Castle Frank High School from 3:45 until 5:45, I believe our devoted swimteam deserved this honour. They were superb at the meet. The synchronized team have performed very well so far and I ' m sure they will be a success in the synchronized cup competition. This year has been a lot of fun and I am sure the Swim Show will be excellent. Thanks for all your support and hard work. Special thanks to Mrs. Lumsdon and to Maureen for helping in the synchronized. You have all made this a great year for me.
