the debating club D is for Debating and that ' s about all we knew about the word when we started the year. E is for the Enthusiasm of Everyone who came out and supported the society this year. B is for the Boys ' schools, where we spent much of our time this year. Imagine them phoning at all hours to arrange dates A is for the Ahh ' s and hAA ' s that accompanied our announcements. T is for the Metro Toronto Debating Finals which were held at Branksome again this year. This could be habit forming. I is for Incentive to win which we hardly ever did, but had fun trying. N is for the Number of times we ran around trying to find last minute replacements. C is for our new Gavel, donated so kindly by Nancy and Sue. Looks like we ' ll have to top that! If there was a th in debating it would have to be used to say thank you to Mrs. Zommers and Mrs. McRae. Love Carolyn and Lavita P S Old debatmg heads never die They come back next year as debators Hint, hmt!

the drama club It was quite an experience this year, between trips to MacDonalds for dinner and those midnight rehearsals. We managed to put on a one-act play after Christmas called Passacaglia This year the drama club entered the In-Croup into the Simpson ' s Ontario Drama Festival. We have more exciting plans for the end-of-the-year play, The Importance of Being Earnest. Special thanks go to all the behind the scenes crew, and especially to Miss Taylor, Lyssa THE CASTS OF THE PLAYS PASSACAGLIA MissCibbs Cynthia Duncan Miss Fanshawe Clare Palmer Matron Jane Avery Nancy Carolyn Hayes Mrs. Martelli Heather Scott Mrs, Rose Tricia Purks THE IN-GROUP One Jill MacCulloch Two Laurie Stein Three Sandra Smythe Four Kathy Martin Five Elana Mayers Six Sheila Buchanan Seven Lyssa Davies Eight Jane Moes Nine Billie brouse Ten Kathryn Liptrott Eleven Diana Ferguson Twelve Millie Paupst

As the page turns . . . 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.
