Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1980 volume:

1 SLOGAN 1980 slo.gan (slo ' gen) n. 1. A battle or rallying cry, originally of the Highland clans. 2. A catchword or motto. EDITORIAL It is significant that this edition of the Slogan should arrive at the beginning of another decade. More and more, people are realizing that not all traditions are good ones; without some transition, institutions will eventually stagnate. Such is the case with the yearbook. The Slogan you see before you is not a rehashing of past yearbook ' s efforts, but a tangible construction of how the editors perceive this year. The overall look of the yearbook is, I think, entirely different from previous years. A lot of the changes are very visible: for the first time, the Junior School is completely contained in its own section, in keeping with the editors ' belief that distinct formal sections best complement each other and best represent the entire school. A boarding section has been added for the same reason. Witness also the introduction of features concerning everyday events in school; these have been inserted to show what has made this year distinct from others. The more significant changes have occured at a subtler level. The Slogan is extremely professional in design, largely because of Lise Hafner ' s talents. Copy is more abundant than it has been in previous years because of the efforts of Kate Wiley. There are superb photos which really tell a story. And most importantly, a great many more people were involved in production than usual. Putting together a yearbook has never been an easy job. Pressures of school make it a phenomenally hard task. The unmatched photography of Marg Gooderham and Vicky Bassett, and the outstanding editorial capabilities of Molly Falconer have been invaluable. Marg Lawson, a superlative business manager, filled the entire ad section in under two months. Jill Adams, Bryn MacPherson and Anne Clements managed to produce some of the best sections of their kind in recent memory. Joy Waldie was on hand at all times to help in every conceivable way. And finally, the unfailing dedication of Mrs. MacGregor in her first year as staff advisor has held together a frequently fragile operation. Their efforts are ones which should be appreciated by the entire school. Finally: a yearbook should not remain static. There should be no standard prescribed format to follow. The editors decided to add eight more pages to this edition, but this should not deter others from shortening, or even adding to these dimensions. Nor should age dictate eligibility to help. Three of our editors were from grade twelve; in future, the editorial staff should be made up of students from all grades. Enjoy the yearbook, or be critical of it, but above all, react to it. I think you can look through it and say, THIS was 1980. The Branksome community was saddened to learn of the death of a recent graduate, Pippa Harris. While at Branksome, Pippa contributed a great deal to the school. She was Scott clan chieftain, a Prefect, Junior School Liason and a Slogan editor. Talented in art, Pippa won the Helene Sandoz Perry Prize for art and was an Ontario Scholar. She is sadly missed by all. i 1 10 34 72 90 132 Introduction Junior School Senior School Sports School Life Ads and Directory i ' Mk ' i Wrzesnewskyj, Borys F 2. 70 Norlh Dr . Islington Wnghl.

Just what the next few years W will bring for Canada, let alone Branksome, we cannot say for sure. We do know that our students will have many problems, the nature of which will change so rapidly that it is difficult to know how to prepare for the 80 ' s. One temptation might be to have as good a time at school for tomorrow will be tough. Why work hard in class or at home when jobs are scarce? And anyway, what have Keats and Shakespeare or the Greek Civilization to do with earning a living, inflation, nuclear power, pollution or the shortage of food and fuel? Perhaps we worry too much about the relevance of content in our courses. Obviously students must have strong, up-to-date math and science programmes and certainly they must learn about the contemporary world and its problems. But the world is going to demand not only knowledge (most of which will be acquired after graduation anyway), but also many skills: the ability to think quickly and ac- curately, the ability to define problems and work out solutions, the ability to attack new experiences and problems with energy, commitment and tenacity and the imagination to respect and understand others — their individual needs, differences and ways of life. These things can be learned at school. A continuous striving for excellence in everything we undertake, whether it be in the classroom, on the basketball court or in your relationships with other people will best prepare us. High marks or an athletic award will not ensure a bright or satisfying future, but the constant giving of one ' s best will go a long way towards it. 6 Well Branksome, here we are again, together as a school, but this time in a book, and here I am in this picture, once again looking totally Scottish (my one claim to fame). I believe that the most terrifying experience of my life was the first time I ever rang the bell in Prayers; to my terror, everyone was actually Quiet! Little faces were smiling at me and watching every move I made. I sat through Prayers, literally scared to death, with a smile on my face. Once I got over the initial shock of Prayers and the first couple of weeks of school, I began to relax, but just a little. After a few adjustments and changes, I developed a personal organization system and began to enjoy and really appreciate life at school. One question which I was asked many times this year was how well do the prefects get along? . Personally, I think that we got along very well, which was probably because of the variety of personalities within the prefect body, ranging from sophisticated and witty to wild and crazy. As a group, we tried to accomplish a wide variety of things, and to bring new ideas into the school. Three main goals were concentrated upon: First of all, we tried to encourage more teacher-student par- ticipation; for what better way is there to generate school spirit than through the co-operation of its members? Secondly, we wanted to fill the gap bet- ween the Prefects and the rest of the student body, especially the grads. And thirdly, we wanted to create a stronger feeling of school unity, for after all, we are the best-looking school around. Branksome ' s Beauty Salon , the Father-Daughter Dance, and grade responsibility for Prayers helped further our aims. In closing, I ' d just like to say that my remarks at the Installation were sincere, and I hope that the other Prefects and I have lived up to your expectations. If not, I ' ll just have to remember that I was elected for who I am, and that I was elected to do my best, and my best as all I can offer.

In the past year, many exciting events have taken place thanks to the Association. At the Alumnae Dinner last May at the Royal York, Dame Diana Reader-Harris was received with as much ex- citement, respect, and honour as she had been at the School the previous week. To commemorate the visit, the Resource Centre was named after this gracious lady. The bi-annual Alumnae Bazaar held November 7 was another tremendous success. Under the leadership of Mrs. Hector and Mrs. Graham the day started and ended in triumph, with the net sales from the new set-up of raffle tickets coming to well over $4,000. The number of Alumnae who helped and or donated was very large; the turnout was even larger. For the first time, students were allowed at the Bazaar during the school day, which gave the students a greater feeling of belonging. The Alumnae Association, whose president is Miss Caroline Klopstock, has given much time and effort towards the continuation of Branksome as a suc- cessful school. Members of the Alumnae have come to speak at the School during Prayers, and it has been exciting to see the success, in many meanings of the word, that they have achieved. Several times a year, a News Letter is published and sent to Alumnae all over the world. The Alumnae Association is a success itself, and we are happy to have been a part. I GROW GREEN MacEwen My dear girls; Several changes took place during the summer vacation. We can now see to read the words of the hymns we sing in assembly, thanks to the new lighting in the gym, the staff has a workroom where they can retire for peace and quiet to mark your tests, Grade 8 has their very own Art teacher and my office can now accommodate five persons at one time. Jh6 most obvious change was the painting of the outside of our lovely old house, Readacres . The grand old lady had a face-lift and I think we all agree that she looks marvelous — and so much younger! This year, attendance at extracurricular activities has been excellent; Choir - 92, Drama - 55, Debating - 30 and Pop Choir - 40. I do realize that there are more activities and clubs that I have not mentioned. If I listed all of them the list would be a kilometre long! Our annual pilgrimages to Quebec City and Fort Ticonderoga for Grade 7 and Washington for Grade 8 have been most successful. Those of you who were new to Branksome perhaps do not realize that this is our first year that we are an allgirlJunior School. Thank you for making this year a happy one. 12 All I can think of is how lucky I am! The Junior School of Branksome Hall is filled with enthusiasm, laughter, smiling faces, and the greatest people around. I am allowed to be an honourary member even though I am over the hill and should be confined to the Senior School. The Other Side of Mt. Pleasant has proven to be an active, thriving part of the school. During Ramabai Week the Junior School held bake sales, raffles (I seem to remember a certain gingerbread house), contests and other activities to raise money, and certainly did a good job, making almost six hundred dollars. Junior School girls, by taking part in Senior School Clubs, such as the school newspaper and the Opheleo Society, helped to bring the Junior and Senior School closer together. The Prefects and some other Senior School girls participated in grade dinners and activities, spirit weeks, clan events and clubs at the Junior School and enjoyed these very much. I hope that as each year passes, the Junior School and Senior School will become closer and closer so that all of the Senior School students will be able to enjoy the special spirit of the Junior School. My thanks to Miss Brough, Miss Tropea, the staff, the chieftains, the subs, and Betsy; and a special thanks to all of you for making this year a great success and a very special year for me.

Milne SPORTS CAPTAIN The Junior School Sports Program this year was terrific. The school teams as well as the clan and class Tournaments were very successful. Everyone showed enthusiasm in the sports ac- tivities such as basketball, volleyball, badminton, tennis and baseball. Student referees were trained by Miss Tropea and did a great job. The Clan Gatherings were all very exciting. The races were fun and there were always many laughs. I think one of the funniest races was Dress the Chieftain. All the clans picked up points at gatherings. The Clan Basketball Tournament was great fun. Some games were close and ended in ties. Everyone cheered and shouted while the referees tried to control the game. A lot of thanks must go to Miss Tropea. She put much of her time into making this sports year possible and FUN. She made my job easier. I ' d also like to thank the people who timed and kept score during games and the Chieftains and Subs who did a great deal of work too. Thanks for a great year. Betsy Junior School Sports Captain BASKETBALL By Olivia Sampson This was a superb season for our basketball team. The team was absolutely magnificent! At every game I went to, they simply trotted down the court and sunk the ball almost every time. Most of the time they simply overwhelmed the opposition. All went well until it came time for the official showdown between the two winning school teams - St. Clement ' s and Branksome. The game rallied back and forth in points until that final whistle blew - we were defeated by three points! Overall, our team really played its best all season. And we sure won in spirit! The team could not have made it to the finals and played so well with out the aid of Miss Tropea, or without the expertise of our B.H.S. team players: M. Mathers, G. Perron, A. Shorter, S. Buchanan, B. Britnell, C. Needham, C. Hood, A. Huycke, L. Nichols, H. Shaw, and their manager K. Fullerton. Every Tuesday and Thursday these girls and Miss Tropea worked hard at training, and developing their skills. Look out Senior School, here we come! 22 SWIMMING AND SYNCRO Lots of hard work and practising certainly payed off for the Junior School Swim teams and Syn- chronized teams! Besides participating in several mini swim-meets , the Swim teams came 2nd overall in the year ' s major swim-meet, the Bishop ' s Cup. Havergal managed to beat us, but we ' ll get them next year! The Synchro teams participated in a synchro meet with many other Toronto schools, and placed 1st overall. A great achievement! Although all of Branksome ' s swimmers are fantastic, Maria Sherman, Heather O ' Connor, Carolyn Kitchen and Sally Robertson were outstanding! Thanks must go to Mrs. Lumsden, who lead the teams to victory! Top: Syncro team. Middle: Syncro club. Bottom: Swim team. 23 BADMINTON Laurie Nichols Branksome Hall had a super, great, peerless, supreme, unrivaled, second to none 13 ' s badminton team this year. We practised at St. Paul ' s, and a thoughtful mother arranged for us to practise at the Badminton and Racquet Club - thanks Mrs. Hackett! All our hard work and toil payed off in the end when we soundly defeated St. Mildred ' s, St. Clements, B.S.S., and Havergal, winning the overall tournament. Although we had superb players, we did require a tiny bit of help: we had a super coach, Miss Tropea, and a great manager, Catherine Needham! VOLLEYBALL Olivia Sampson The 1980 junior volleyball team had an outstanding season. We were victorious in every game - thanks to our powerful serves, super returns, and close team- work. In one of our more exciting matches we were losing 14-7, when all of a sudden we came back to win the game! We could not have done so consistently well without the help and organization of Mrs. Harrison, our coach. The combined work of H. O ' Connor, A. Shorter, S. Buchanan, M. Mathers, C. Mitchell, C. McDougall, C. Swinden, V. Zorilla, C. Padmore, E. Steeds, 0. Sampson, (and of course our coach) made the junior volleyball team unbeatable!! 24 GR. 8: WASHINGTON After a day of steady driving, tackling awareness sheets, supposedly noticing the scenery, attempting numerous com- petitions: Bus I ' s musical education being widened through ' A taste of Honey ' while Bus 2 enjoyed? opera; we were ready to relax when we reached Howard Johnson ' s, Springfield, Virginia. For the next one and a half days our feet covered the U.S.A. capital: the buildings, monuments and memorials with their countless steps. We did it all! The highlight? For many the F.B.I.! Wednesday afternoon we were at Mt. Vernon, the beautiful home and estate of George Washington, where the Branksome group is always warmly welcomed. On to Richmond. Before we settled into our motel, we saw the interesting architecture of the very historical State Capitol. That night, October 31st, we all kissed Wilberforce (the pumpkin) during our ' trick or treat ' travels. (The rooms of the trip mothers). Thursday 6:00 A.M. BUZZERS which we could not turn off but which certainly got us out of bed! To Williamsburg for breakfast and a full day to enjoy this colonial town. Three highlights: the Governor ' s Palace where some were almost left in the maze, the jail where Mrs. Hay tried to leave three in the stocks and, finally, shopping time at last! That night the dinner menu for the trip mothers, meat loaf ' a la champignons ' . For the girls, meat loaf ' a la vers de terre ' ! After four beautiful, warm, sunny days, Gettysburg welcomed us with RAIN! This didn ' t dampen our enthusiasm. We saw most of the 2400 markers and 1400 monuments on our bus tour of the battlefield, even though the bus did get ' fogged up ' continually! We arrived back at the motel, changed and went walking in the rain, returning with bundles of parcels and MacDonald ' s dinners. That night was our night to do what we wanted while many of the mothers had a peaceful dinner in a pre-Civil War house. Exhausted but happy, we packed and left for Toronto the next morning. Our only stopping place was Corning, New York and the last opportunity for moms and girls to stock up on gifts; and to view the lovely glass. We also learned many things. Especially: the water mark of the disastrous flood in 1972. And we saw the largest piece of glass in the entire world. Reluctantly, we departed from Corning, and were thrust upon the highway once more. After three hours we approached the border. As we crossed the Peace Bridge we stared back at the beautiful U.S.A. and thought of the magnificent trip that had begun only five days before. Suddenly, there was a burst of song! ' Oh Canada ' ! The trip was a total success and with kisses to our parents we left for our homes, knowing the trip would now become an un- forgettable memory. Thanks, Mrs. Hay. GR. 7: QUEBEC At seven o ' clock on the misty morning of October 9, 77 Branksome Hall Grade 7 students boarded 2 Travelways buses. They travelled along the north shore of Lake Ontario to Fort Henry in Kingston, and, then through Montreal to St. Foy, Quebec, which was their destination. in Quebec City, the Grade 7 ' s went on a walking tour. They went to see the Chateau Frontenac and, also, the Duffrin Terrace beside it. It was a sunny day and the St. Lawrence River looked beautiful. Near the Chateau Frontenac was the statue of Samuel de Champlain, standing inside the Square called the Place d ' Armes. The students saw both the Upper Town and the Lower Town, In the Lower Town they saw the restored buildings near the square called Place Royal. After a tour of the Citadel, the students went to the beautiful and famous church, Ste. Anne de Beaupre. It is said that, in this church, many people with crippling diseases have been miraculously healed. They also visited the National Assembly, one of the oldest and most exciting buildings in Quebec City. The tour of the Assembly emphasized the history of the buildings, and of Quebec, as well as the goings-on of the present day. On Oct. 11, after a long ride from Quebec City, the buses pulled up in front of the Kent Delord House. Many of the girls loved the two hundred year old house. The Delords had lived in it over a hundred and fifty years ago, with the ir daughter, Frances. There were many paintings there which were over a hundred and fifty years old. One interesting painting was of Mrs. Delord which was painted three times - each time her dress was changed in order to keep up with the dress styles. The students saw an old sewing machine, bob-skates which had belonged to Frances Delord and the actual china and silver which the Delords has used. The students stayed two nights at Lake Placid, the popular winter resort where the 1980 Olympics were to be held. There the students were able to rest and enjoyed shopping in the town ' s charming gift shops. One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake George. Although it was raining, the students found the cannons and the museum most interesting and enjoyable. The many rooms of the museum contained guns, bullets, flags, and scalps, taken by the Indians, which the girls found very amusing. The various paintings in the museum told many stories. On Oct. 13, the students boarded two Travelways buses and returned home to Toronto, after a trip which had made history come alive, had taught them a great deal and had been a lot of fun! 25 CLANS BRUCE FRASER Fraser, because of its great effort over the past year, has made continous progress. We started off the year the best way a clan could, by winning at the first clan gathering. Although we had an ex- cellent basketball team we placed lower than we had expected. But after our basketball team there was nowhere to go but up! The munchkins added a lot to Fraser. They participated in many contests. They even named our mascot, Hip- polean. We are very happy with Fraser clan and hope that it will continue to be terrific in the years to come. Mary Lissaman and Jennifer McNab Along with the Year of the Child comes the Year of the Bruce Clan. Though we did not win all our games, we should have because our spirit kept us going and Snuffles, our giant elephant mascot, encouraged us too. We have some excellent sportsmen for which we are grateful. Both chieftains and teachers attempted to improve the outward appearance of our clan. This Year of the Bruce Clan has been a great one: thanks to all its members. Jackie Churcher and Tory Wilgar DUNCAN This year the Duncan clan thoroughly enjoyed the basketball season. Our outstanding members: Patty Aziz, Heidi Ambrose, Leslie Fleming, Jen- nifer Pierce and Carol Hood showed a lot of team spirit and played the games really well. Remember, Duncanites, it ' s not whether you win or lose . . . We ' d like to thank you all for showing a lot of team spirit, effort and participation in all our activities throughout the year. We ' d also like to thank the clan mothers, Mrs. Chilton and Miss Mackenzie, for helping us through the year. Ameeta Thacker and Vicky Walker 26 GRANT JOHNSTON We would like to thank everyone on Grant for participating and being so enthusiastic this year. What a clan! You did a superb job in all clan ac- tivities. A special thanks to Kathy Fulierton, Heather O ' Conner and Adrienne Grant who really contributed to the basketball team. When it came to volleyball, tennis and baseball we really showed our spirit. Congratulations to everyone on Grant - You were great! When it comes to clans Grant is the best . Remember Grant always stands fast . Laurie Nichols and Caroline Kitchen The Johnston Clan was terrific this year. All of our clan members were out there fighting and doing well. There are a great number of athletic people on our clan who tried hard and participated too! And even those Johnstonites who were not so good at sports still had fun, participated and tried hard and soon they became great players too. The clan members really hit it off this year! To sum it all up, We ' re the best darn clan in the whole wide world and proud of it too. It has been truly en- joyable for us to be able to lead a great crew like you, Johnston. Thank you very much Johnston! Olivia Sampson and Annabel! Fell P.S. We are ALWAYS prepared! ROBERTSON The Robertson Clan did very well this year. We had a slow start when we came 5th in the Fall Clan Gathering, but we have certainly picked up since then. We won Clan basketball with 8 wins and 1 tie. The turnout for games was great! With Susan Andrus ' height, Cindy Mitchell ' s lay-ups, and Stephanie Buchanan ' s shots, how could we lose? Some people came to the try-outs without any knowledge of basketball, and now that we have finished the season they are experts. The spirit of the Clan is over-powering. We hope that everyone had a good time at the clan activities this year. Thanks to Sue for the help with the basketball games, and thanks to you Robertsonites for making this year lots of fun! Allison Huycke and Beth Endean 27 CLUBS Debating The Debating Society was first added to the list of Junior School activities in 1977. In its first year, people were reluctant to join this new and different club. Convincing students that this society was fun, interesting, enriching, and a really worthwhile way to spend an afternoon was a hardship that should never have to be experienced by anyone. But last year was our sign that everything was going to turn out even better than we had planned. It was as if our dreams had really come true and our encouragement had payed off finally. Suddenly, it seemed that there were girls starting to appear, as if out of the blue, and full of enthusiasum! Then it happened! This year the turn-out for the Debating club numbered 33 terrific debaters who have made this a record year in the history of the Junior School! Anytime the Grade 9 debaters challenged us they were asking for trouble. If debating stays this good, it is going to be DYNAMITE next year! Catherine Adams. Opheleo What is the Opheleo committee? You may ask. A group of students, ranging from grade 6 to 13, meet to plan and organize events which raise money for worthwhile causes such as UNICEF, adopting a foster child and the B.H.S. Restoration. Generally, participation in the Opheleo has always been very good, and this year is no exception. In October, we met to make Christmas cards for the children of the Mutki Mission. Overall, we have done a great deal of fund raising, most of it enjoyable, but all of it useful and helpful. Ramabai Week fell in November. A penny roll, a strawberry key, a chocolate bar sale, Branksome week, and plenty of canvassing raised quite a large sum of money. I would like to give thanks to Mrs. Davidovac, our staff advisor, and Jacqui Atkin, the Opheleo prefect, and of course, everyone who was in the Opheleo and anyone who contributed. This year has been a great success, and I am sure the years to come will be too. Cynthia Swinden 28 Choir This year has been a very enjoyable and musically satisfying for the Junior Choir. An average at- tendance of seventy-eight girls per practice was an indication of the fun we had. In the fall, Mrs. Willingham introduced the Pop Choir for grades seven and eight, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8:15 — an eye opening ex- perience! Much of this year ' s success can be at- tributed to our competent stage crew; Adrienne Grant, Megan Long, Samantha Sharpe, and Dana Warren. The Junior School must thank Mrs. Willingham for her constant patience and effort. We are very lucky to have her in charge of our music program. Thanks to everyone who participated in and supported our music program. Heidi Ambrose. Library At the beginning of the term the people who wanted to help in the library joined the library club. Each librarian was assigned a day to work in the library, shelving, carding, and doing various other jobs. These people performed a very important service for the Junior School; thanks must go to them and to Mrs. Hollenberg, our Junior School librarian. May next year be as successful. Amanda Kirkland. Drama The grade seven trip to Quebec and the grade eight trip to Washington prevented a fast-paced start of the Drama Club this year. There arose one ad- vantage from these trips: during that time, Mrs. Ranger wrote the play which became our major production this year. The number of Drama Club members has been high in past years and this year was no exception. Instead of two plays, we produced one longer play; Hallowe ' en Summer . This mystery used the talents of our girls to the fullest and gave Mrs. Ranger a few grey hairs . Both the audience and the players had a good time. I would like to thank everyone who supported the Drama Club this year; and a special thanks to Mrs. Ranger, our director. Patty Azziz. 29 We are such stuff as dreams are made on (The Tempest, iv, (1.145)) by Catherine Temelcoff. 1979 Junior School Prize Essay You might find it strange that a thirteen-year old Canadian with no Italian roots or connections would dream of visiting one city above all others in the world — Florence. Over and over again Canadians returning from the grand tour of Europe had talked nostalgically of Florence, its natural beauty, and its culture. Their descriptions of the city made me take from the library books on Florence and the Italian Renaissance. These opened my eyes to the almost mythical wonders of this golden city of a golden age. Thus, it was with a feeling of excited expectation this spring, that I approached Florence in a drab tourist bus, after twenty hours of airplane and bus travel. I arrived when it was dark and the first thing I wanted to do was sleep. The dull, little hotel room, which as far as I was concerned could have been located on a parking lot in Toronto, did not prepare me for the wonders of the fifteenth century that were to greet my eyes during the next few days. Used to a sprawling, Canadian city where historic cities are barely one hundred years old, I could hardly believe that I could walk from one site to another within a matter of minutes and that everywhere there were buildings that had been begun by the Florentines as early as the eleventh cen tury. The building that I remember best, because it was so strange at first sight, is the Cathedral with its two separate parts; the Baptistry, and the bell tower and dome. Contrary to our grey stone, Gothic cathedrals in Canada, this one is a shock to the eye in black, white and green marble. We decided to tackle the five hundred steps leading to the top of the dome, and made our way up the narrow, dark, spiral staircase, being pushed against the wall by the crowds that were coming down. At the halfway point we could walk around inside the dome and look down into the plain transept or up the stained-glass windows that were done by Ghiberti, Donatello and other fifteenth-century artists. We continued up a still narrower staircase that led to an open ring on the top of the dome. From there we could see all of Florence and its surrounding hills. Did the designers of the cathedral echo the green of the hills against their black, angular cypress trees, and white stucco buildings? On the ground again I stood in front of the golden door of the Baptistry, called by Michelangelo, The Door To Paradise. I followed the Old Testament stories in the door, which were covered with architectural details, people and landscape. I wondered whether I would return home only with the feeling that they had inspired. I now know why people always want to return to Florence. Everywhere there is too much for the mind to absorb. Hypnotized at the time by the guides at the Uffizi museum, the Pitti Palace and the Medici Chapel, I have now forgotten many of the names and dates. However the idealized Botticelli faces and the plump della Robia cherubs remain forever. Has anyone who has ever seen Michelangelo ' s David ever looked at the form without a critical eye? After the days crowded with museums, churches and art, it was pleasant to sit under the towers of the Piazza della Signoria and to imagine the people of the middle continued . . . 30 Ages coming there for public meetings as their ancestors do today. In this square, four generations of Medici ' s, dressed in their fine silks and furs, addressed the citizens of Florence and there passed over the stones such persons as Leonardo and Dante. However, to leave you with the impression that Florence is a magnificent museum with no modern existence would be misleading. The chic jewellry and leather shops and designer boutiques reveal that the Florentines have not lost their skill of love of beauty. Their ad- miration of fine things extends to food and entertainment. They do not live on pizza and spaghetti, as Canadians are inclined to believe. They dine splendidly and go on to electronic discos, filled with dancers that put us to shame. I left all that behind me with regret. The journey home was a long one, both in time and space. It was the gradual awakening from a dream. Nevertheless, I still have the memories of this one place on earth which best represents the achievements of mankind, the golden city of Florence.

They ' re the most beautiful things I ' ve ever seen! The Hand byToby Waxman, Grade4 Once upon a time there lived a hand. Now this hand was a very lonely hand and a very poor hand. She had no food and no money. (She didn ' t need clothes.) One day she found a quarter on the ground. She picked it up, and with tremendous force she leaped onto a newsstand and bought a paper. While she was reading it she found an ad saying: Hand needed for soap commercial. My first break in show business , she thought. When she got to the studio there were many other hands waiting. Then a fat man came out of a room. He was the casting director. Without even an audition, he pointed at the hand and said, I want you! and from then on she had food, money, a career that she loved and a sub- scription to The Globe and Mail. The Cog It looks like a cat and barks like a dog, So I don ' t know really what it is, So I call it a Cog. It looks like a Persian, And it barks like a Hersian, So I don ' t know really what it is, A cat or a dog. Anne Roe, Grade 5.

One of the areas Branksome excels in is most definitely athletic ability. We are proud and privileged to have the Wiley sisters as part of our Branksome community. Their talents in running have inspired not one but many girls to strive to their fullest abilities. We not only have stars on the track, but also on courts of all types. The teams showed a fantastic sense of teamwork this year. The offical coaches of every team were responsible for a good part of the Branksome success story and should not go unrecognized. Not only do we have faithful athletes and coaches but the sideline girls, always fully of encouragement and support, were fantastically helpful. Margaret Gooderham will be remembered as official timer, scorer and Coach of Enthusiasm for all Branksome teams. Clan and class activities were spirited ones too. This year they became more competitive and therefore a greater part of school life. With something to do every day at lunch or after school Branksome life certainly was never dull. The chieftains, sub-chieftains and class sports captains were always on their toes with new ideas. The superb job that they did could be seen not only in the gym but throughout the halls of Branksome. TENNIS 1979 14 ' S Back Row (L to R): Jill Eagleson, Janet Ondaatje.

This year ' s team, led by Mrs. Kizoff, had the will to do so. If one could characterize this season, bad weather would be the predominant trait. However, the cross-country team managed to make a lot of progress this year. We had a large turn-out, and managed to keep most members running for the entire season. We entered five meets during a season which lasted only five months. Individually and collectively, the team performed exceptionally. In October, our midget team took third place at the Toronto District Cham- pionships, one of the more ht prestigious fall meets, matching the A team win in September at the Beltline relays. Perhaps the best indication of the team ' s progress is that six girls — Sarah Wiley, Michele Lewis, Alison Wiley, Jane Horner, Kate Wiley and Jill Adams — all qualified for November ' s All-Ontario Championships. Those who participated in cross-country will agree that it is an exhilarating sport. The mud, the rain, the snow, the hills, the rivers, the agony and the fatigue make finishing a great ac- complishment in itself. Thanks must go to Mrs. Kizoff for her leadership and enthusiasm, and for spending her time in the rain and the cold cheering us on. At the TDCAA Championships in October: Bottom Left: K.

Against unusually adept opponents, Branksome found the calibre of competition ex- tremely high. Long, taxing games demanded not only stamina but skill from players as well proving the theory that competition can be excruciating; some of us died out there. Amazing scores, including a 55-9 blow dealt by B.S.S., highlighted the first team ' s efforts. Their record may not show it, but this was one of the most talented teams in recent years. First team veteran Loree Carey was joined by most of last year ' s seconds, as well as our Ottawa import , Sheena Fraser, and later, by a promoted Lise Hafner. Three players, J. Atkin, S. Buchanan, and Sheena Fraser, were selected to try out for the Ontario All-Star Basketball Team. A. Hector, using height to her advantage, reached her peak after seven years of experience and played superbly. The Seconds were a group continued ... Top Right: 1st team: (L to R) Loree Carey, Bindu Dennis (capt. 2nds), Sheena Fraser, Jacqui Atkin (capt.), Andrea Hector, Leslie Gorwill, Sheila Buchanan. Bottom Far Right: 2nd team: (Clockwise) Irish Heward, Lise Hafner (Ists), Sue Le Feuvre, Laurie Gunton, Sheila Coulter, Margaret Kemp. Absent: Heather Allen. 78 of high-powered, highly-skilled players. Heather Allen, who quite simply never stops shooting, led the team in scoring; Sue Le Feuvre and Margaret Kemp also excelled in this respect. The seconds ' zenith came late in the season, when they, combining with the firsts, smashed a new Ridley team. Their record, if it is any indication, shows that next year ' s firsts should set un- parallelled standards for other teams to follow. Players relatively new to the com- petitive field made up the third team. Veterans K. Hawke and M. Wilson were assisted by B. Burrows, S. Teskey, S. Long, C. Roncarelli and M. Hermant. Despite their inexperience, the thirds ' skillfull playing, especially that of leading scorer S. Teskey, produced a record that was the best of all Branksome teams. Last year ' s Junior School talent was transferred over Mt. Pleasant to create a strong fourth team. Traditionally a large team, the eleven-member team, used all of its players to their fullest, and the aptitude shown, particularly by I. Calvin and W. Bruce, produced a sound record and a promising future. Putting together a team has never been an easy task; doing the same with four teams is phenomenal. Mrs. Jen- nings and Miss Riggin deserve a great deal of credit and gratitude for the miracles they ' ve wrought.

The 16 ' s team) experienced some real cliff-hangers. In our final game at B.S.S. we were down 14-6, (we had just lost the first game), when all of a sudden, from the middle of nowhere, Andrea Hector came up with ten serves and 10 points! We won the last game and finished our season with a spotless record. Hail Andrea! Although the team may look disjointed, we really can work well together. When you see the lack of size of S. Buchanan you ' d never think she could set! J. Atkin is truly our Kamikaze Kid . D. Robertson, though quiet, is a sturdy pillar of the team, C. Peters always seems to be hitting the back wall, while M. Dashwood can never remember if she ' s playing tennis or volleyball. S. Coulter, our energetic grade twelver, has a reputation for violence in tense moments, while T. Heward, our rookie from grade eleven, is always calm, cool, and collected even in the worst of times. M. Kemp gives the team its for- midable image. She could volley Mrs. Jennings across four volleyball courts with one flick of her wrist. Speaking of Mrs. Jennings, we ' d like to say that never has a volleyball season been so enjoyed by all! The supporters ' cheers are reduced to a murmur as Ellen serves. The serve is returned and Cassandra dives for the ball to set it to the front row. Martha sets it high for Bonnie, who drives the ball to the back court. Then Sarah bumps up a spike from the op- posing team, Sue volleys it to Heather who spikes it, winning the point for Branksome - what a team! The 15 ' s with the coaching of Mrs. Jennings, and support of the 16 ' s on the benches; certainly had an excellent volleyball season, winning all but one game! Martha Wilson The 14 ' s volleyball team had a winning season. These talented girls produced an almost flawless record! There was great enthusiasm in this young team, inspired by Miss Riggin. With such veterans as J. Wigle, J. Huycke, and M. Hartill, and a handful! of rookies like T. Griffin, W. Wilson, and M. An- derson, how could they be beaten?

It requires strength of both the body and the mind. The members of this year ' s swim team have experienced not only the demands on their time but also the physical pain of three to five practices a week. We have accepted victory and defeat and have kept good spirits as much with one as with the other. In our first meet at B.S.S., B.S.S. placed first and Branksome tied with Havergal for second. The next meet was held at Branksome and we placed second. In November, Branksome hosted a Fun Relay Meet. Five schools took part and each team was composed of girls of all ages, from Tadpole to Senior. Our team tied for first place with B.S.S. Lis Burrow, Petra Baldik, Kate Bingham and Kathryn Buleychuk showed great ex- pertise in the sneaker relay. The Bishop ' s Cup meet was once again the high point of the fall season. Out of six schools, Branksome placed second, just seven points behind Havergal. Over twenty Branksomites gave up their time and the safety of Toronto to travel to Mississauga which was evacuted, to compete in this meet. All swimmers swam well in both individual events and relays. Our team ' ham ' Susie Garay once again continually won points for Branksome. The Bishop ' s Cup meet enabled the team to work together as a team and to share in victory and defeat which is what competitive swimming is really about. It ' s not whether you win or lose; it ' s how you play the game. To start off the 1980 season, Branksome invited Upper Canada College to a private school swim meet. In February, the team competed in the Toronto District and Ontario speed swimming competition. Here, we met swimmers from all schools, both public and private. The Synchronized Swimming Club was part of the swim team that kept a low profile. They set high goals for themselves though, and with this year ' s team members, how could they lose? On deck, the team could not have done without the coaching and help of Mrs. Lumsdon and her daughter, Kim. Many thanks! Thanks also to the Timers, Marshalls and Deck Assistants who were a great aid to us at home meets. This year ' s swim team was a first-class one; their success could not have been possible without the co- ordinated efforts and stick-to-itive-ness of the coaches, assistants and team members.

We began, in September, preparing for the annual Ramabai Rout by having a caramel apple sale to raise money for decorations. The sale went very well and the sixty dollars made went towards buying streamers, balloons, etc . . . for our Hollywood theme. The Rout was held on Saturday, Nov. 3rd in the school gym. This Rout was the first one to be held in the new gym and it worked well. The band, The Zita Bros., were just terrific and I think I can honestly say that everyone had a great time. Seta The Formal for grades 11, 12, and 13 was held on Sat., March 1st at the R.C.Y.C. Carlton House. We tried something different this year by engaging a small orchestra who playea everything from In The Mood to the Blue Danube to Cheap Trick . The dance turned out to be a great success, aside from all the last minute jitters. I would like to thank Mrs. Shaver our Staff Advisor for her great help and ah her much - needed advice.

Branksome girls have given both this year. We started off the year by sending Christmas cards to the children of the Mukti Mission. October came and went quickly, but not before we had completed Ramabai Week and raised sixteen hundred dollars. The Junior School was tremendous, contributing over five hundred dollars. The Grade Nines surpassed all the Senior School grades by raising over $100. Besides canvassing for the Cancer Society, Branksome supported the CHUM Christmas Wish with many useful gifts. Other fund raising activities this year included a Swim-A-Thon, the ever famous Penny Roll, and the Strawberry Tea. Many thanks for the support and advice given by our staff liaison, Mrs. Davidovac.

Auditions, Rehearsals, Paint, Staple Guns, Hot Chocolate, Coffee, Tea, 1-2-3, Steps and Tunes of The Boy friend . Frantic antics and victims of two tea-toddling Grandes Dames in Arsenic and Old Lace . A moving scene of award- winning drama in Passacaglia (Remember, Dramatists are Optimists!) Finally, a little horrific relief with Sorry Wrong Number . Many thanks to the actresses turned tech and the tech turned madmen. Most of all, thanks to Mrs. Smith who knows better than anyone (except perhaps Shakespeare) that all the world ' s a stage. Jane Moes and Signy Eaton 96 Review: Passa- caglio and Sorry, Wrong Number . This year ' s Drama Club productions were truly worthy of applause! Their hair-raising performance of Sorry Wrong Number kept everyone ' s eyes wide open - perhaps far into the night. Jane Moes was superb as a terrified, bedridden invalid trying frantically to trace the voices of the men planning her murder. The members of the supporting cast, though too numerous to mention every one by name, were ex- cellent. After a quick set change and a break for refreshments the curtains opened on Passacaglia . The audience had been eagerly awaiting this play and greeted it with enthusiasm, for the second time. Clare Palmer and C.K. Purks assumed again their roles of two years ago; Andrea Duncan took her sister ' s place, and three newcomers, Lisa Bate, Kim Epp and Brooke Johnson completed the cast. The actresses presented wonderfully the saddest, and the most hilarious, moments of life in an old folks ' home. The Drama Club put months of time and hard work into these plays and the results were, of course, tremendous. I 97 DEBATING Girls, Prefects, Branksomites, lend me your eyes: Our speech is of debating, and debaters. This year has been a great one for debating With many names inscribed upon the lists Placed outside the prayer hall. Since that time many wars of words have Been won and lost, For Branksome is an honourable school. Debates were held each Monday after school Between the girls; a new idea which seemed to work quite well. Debates with other Schools were also held most frequently To train our speakers for the honourable Tournaments. In the first round of the Fulford Cup We had two finalists. St. Clements, Appleby College were among Other school which held tournaments; Our teams did well repeatedly. 98 Next term there will be more Fulford and The Metro Finals which we will host again, And so we wish our speakers lots of luck, For Branksome is an honourable school. Katie and Bryn and I would like to thank Mrs. McRae and Mrs. Zommers for their help., as well as those girls who have debated For Branksome or who have helped us through the year, Always remembering that Branksome is an honourable school. In Ancient Greece to speak was once an art. The Romans rolled in rhetoric In Ancient Greece to speak was once an art. The Romans rolled in rhetoric And now in speech our school has quite a name. Debating rules at Branksome once again. Rhetorically yours, Kirsten Munro, Katie Lundon, and Bryn Mac- Pherson. 99 NEWSPAPER FRENCH CLUB Thanks to Mme. Olson, Mile. Ocoutourier and all our members, this year ' s French Club has been better than ever! Our combined attempts at becoming gourmets overnight made the dinners a smashing success, not to mention our keen interest in the music of famous French composers! Our outings were enjoyable, and, most were learning experiences. Our reading of French literature was a great help in understanding those French menus. And trying to make the waiters understand us was even more fun! The games we played definitely revealed to us the mental capabilities of the French. Next time we play Scrabble we even hope to use real words. Even if we did not improve our French too much, we did learn one great lesson - NEVER GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT YOUR FRENCH-ENGLISH DIC- TIONARY! Adieu, Shiona and Silvie The Kaleidoscope? The name of a school newspaper? Well, certainly! Read carefully, and we may just convince you. The kaleidoscope: An optical instrument in which bits of glass and beads are shown in continually changing symmetrical forms by reflection in mirrors. The world changes just as a kaleidoscope does, and the eye that watches the fascinating formations in the long tube is the same eye that watches as the world changes. Branksome ' s newspaper is just like this eye which gazes into the kaleidoscope. It, too, keeps track of the continuous changes of the rotating world, and records these changes. Our articles included such topics as what the 1980 ' s promise to bring, what changes Branksome has made in the past seventy- five years, how we may change in the future, and the joys of our newly-renovated school. Mrs. Blake ' s literary aptitude has helped us tremendously and the increased enthusiastic par- ticipation has assisted us in establishing a firm footing. Our image is new and swift, and, because The Kaleidoscope grasps the aspect of change, it will always be a la mode in the future. Turn an eye towards The Kaleidoscope and watch how the words reflect the tales of a changing world. Margy and Jill 100 LIBRARY Off the Shelf Knock knock. Who ' s there? Surprise! It ' s me! Where do you go to find out if a plant is a girl or boy? Just lift the leaf of a book and look! Where? In the Library! And where do you go to find out which shimmery shade of eye shadow is ' in ' ? The Library! And where do you go to find out how to clean your grapefruit spoons? The Library of course! This year we did well. We had a book sale early in September. Mrs. Dick went and picked out a good selection and then the books were donated. Most of them were donated on parents ' night. So now, we have many more beautiful, delicious, yummy books to read, gaze at or flip through. Our library committee, small, and with room for more, works very, very hard. They are the ones that keep the place in order and assist the students by coming in at lunch and after school. Thank you librarians! And to my four assistants: Tracey McMillan, Joy Waldie, Linda Aird and Maria Mori, Merci Beaucoup! And many, many thanks to Mrs. Dick our school librarian who works terribly hard in that Library.

We rehearsed six hours a day but it was our spare time that made the trip memorable. We turned peaceful canoe rides into water fights and the losers ended up going for a dip. We also played our annual game of football with plays like the Epileptic and the Pregnant Lady . Thus our year began. Among the concerts we did before Christmas were the ones at the T.D. Bank, where they always serve us such delicate cuisine, and at York- minster Park Baptist Church, where we set an all- time record for how fast a choir can sing Carol of the Bells . The Carol Service was a great success and was recorded to make records and tapes for our future listening. I know that the choir will have Resonemus Laudibus engraved in their minds forever! In the spring we had successful concerts at St. Paul ' s and Rosedale Presbyterian Churches and we were requested to sing for Princess Alexandria. Our Spring Concert and tour were both highly entertaining for our audiences and for us. This year ' s choir was a super group of kids who sing well and work hard. I hope that in the future, they will continue to be musically competent and above all to have fun! Thanks for a great year! Suzanne Toro. Absent: Kim Epp, Liz Hart, Lise Hafner, Diane McNeill, Jane Turner, Cindy Walker, Frances Berry, Karen Cookson, Helen Graham, Ellen Millar. Chamber Choir: Vicki Cramer. 103 CLANS CAMPBELL Chieftain: Susan LeFeuvre Sub-Chieftain: Mary Morden Campbell may be the smallest clan in numbers but certainly not in enthusiasm and SPIRIT! Each month we have an average of about 400 points from the activity list alone, and I don ' t believe Campbellites cheat. Everyone brought in their pennies for the Penny Roll and we did really well. We had the most people out to clan gatherings and our party at Mary ' s was enjoyed by all. We rounded out the year with a third place in clan basketball, a second in Frisbee roun- ders, splashing success in the pool and an undoubtable first place in spirit. Campbellites are always busy. Whether it be at lunch or after school, they ' re involved in bubble gum chewing contests, debating. Chocolate Chips and Smartie poker. This year has been great fun and truly successful. We ' ll do it again next year! DOUGLAS Chieftain: Kathleen Slater Sub-Chieftain: Kelly Hawke It is very enouraging to know that in the past two years Douglas has moved from last place to second place, and is holding on to that position with a firm grip. The enthusiasm shown by the Grade 9 ' s and lO ' s was tremendous. They were bursting with Douglas spirit. Our sub-chieftain this year was Kelly Hawke. With her bubbly good nature and new ideas, the clan is on its way to number one. We bounced our way through basketball, im- proved our Frisbee throwing skills and sparkled in Spirit Week. We certainly are a versatile clan! Keep up the Douglas spirit! 104 MacLEAN Chieftain: Martha Allen Sub-Chieftain: Lanny Dawson M - is for Maclean and A - is for our aim to C - that we are the clan that L - wipes up the land and E - means enthusiasm even though A - we are all not athletic but N - means we never give up. M-A-C-L-E-A-N, that ' s the way we spell spirit. It ' s been a super year for clan spirit. All 62 of us contributed in one way or another. Whether it was participating in clan events or just cheering the others on, we certainly gave it our best. From Clan Basketball at the beginning of the year to Clan Volleyball, Clan Debating and all those great Clan Gatherings, we tried our best. But remember it doesn ' t matter if you win or lose; it ' s how you play the game. In November of 1979 we elected four great sub-chieftain nominees, Julie Allen, Gwen Baillie, Lanny Dawson and Bubba Lougheed. It was a hard choice but Lanny was the one elected. She has been a great asset to our clan with all her bubbling enthusiasm. Thanks for a great year. MacGREGOR Chieftain: Victoria Graham Sub-Chieftain: Karen Taylor Hey you! Yes you! I ' m talking to you! Now that I have your undivided attention I shall continue. I must tell you how impressed I am with the clan participation this year. The number of people who turned up for the Autumn Clan Gathering Kill the Chieftain with Shaving Cream, was breathtaking. I have to let it be known that the grade 9 ' s and lO ' s show great aptitude for Frisbee Rounders, though few will admit it! Basketball, does not seem to be MacGregor ' s forte but with the nimbleness of Loree we did do quite well. Sarah Taylor ' s ability to devour edibles was proven at the Christmas Clan party. The Penny Roll was a success thanks to all the pennies MacGregorites contributed. In November, Karen Taylor, a new girl, was elected as this year ' s sub-chieftain for MacGregor. She was a great help and a pillar of strength. It was a great year for spirit but next year we will surpass even this year! Bonne Chance. 105 ROSS Chieftain: Andrea Duncan Sub-Chieftain: Judy IVIcClure McALPINE Chieftain: Margaret Kemp Sub-Chieftain: Heather Allen In the past year, McAlpine has been con- sidered one of the top ranking clans. For the first term we managed to place first overall. This could not have been accomplished without the great support of the clan members. Whether we win or lose, good sportsmanship is always shown from the clan. We would like to give a special recognition to Alison Wiley and Karen Hurreil who were both sub-nominees. Margaret Kemp and Heather Allen would like to thank all members of McAlpine. McLEOD Chieftain: Hope Humphrey Sub-Chieftain: Julie Robertson McLeod has it! The fall of 1979 was squished with so many activities that is was surprising we had enough time for clan activities. But we did! After Darcy Bett led us to near victory in basketball, we gained that initial spirit that kept with us through the year. Before Christmas, McLeod had their Pizza Luncheon for the grade nines. I ' m sure Heather Montgomery remembers that; how many pieces did you have Heather? The winter and spring terms were full of memorable events like the Sub ' s swim meet and playing volleyball and tennis. For those who had abilities elsewhere, we had clan debating and clan drama. Thanks to Julie Robertson, our Sub-Chieftain, for her support and not-stop enthusiasm. McLeod has what? You! Without you, where would McLeod be? 106 i So often the word ' spirit ' is used to convey a feeling. Judy and I, after individually signing sixty- two Christmas cards, vowed never to use the word again. But, faced with the task of summing up this year into one coherent report, we found no better word to describe the general feedback from the clan other than ' SPIRIT ' . It was so refreshing to see the younger girls participating so en- thusiastically in their early years in the Senior School. Even the girls who didn ' t athletically participate, lended strength by being loyal sup- porters. Apart from our semi-victorious basketball season, our concentrated efforts in frisbee rounders and our all around constant turnout at clan event s showed a combination of all our best qualities. It has been a grand ol ' year for us all and always remember: never spit in the wind, and, if you can ' t live by that, R is for right and 0 is for on and double S is for super strong. SCOTT Chieftain: Sue Farrow Sub-Chieftain: Sue Shaw Contrary to past years, we began the year with a flush of outstanding participation from the grade 9 ' s and lO ' s. At first, our teams were plagued by a lack of support from the seniors, but as the number of clan en- thusiasts grew, so did Scott in the clan standings. In fact, before Christmas we rose to be first in the bottom half. Our basketball team faired less than spectacular, but the turnout for the final frisbee rounders game made up for it. Our fantastic volleyball team was led by one ' ballet leg ' , and amazingly enough, we averaged one of the highest turnout records for clan gatherings. Early in November, we were rewarded with our Sub-Chieftain, Sue Shaw, who put in long hours with our mascot Angus, to bring life into after school games. So, to all you privileged few with the name ' Scott ' on your ties, have a good summer and don ' t wipe Scott from your minds. 107 FROM THE DEAN OF RESIDENCE My first year as Dean of Residence has taught me many things: how to laugh, how to be sym- pathetic, how to be firm when the need arises, how to learn each girl is an individual, and how to cope with the many frustrations arising from day to day. Many girls are a long way from home and require extra attention. To those girls especially, I would like them to feel that their year at the school has been a pleasant one, both in learning and in associations resulting in their making lifelong friends. I have enjoyed the cooperation of the girls, staff and parents. All in all it has been a happy year, and I wish the graduates from Branksome a happy and successful future. FROMJACKIE In the words of the immortal Winnie the Pooh, togetherness is . . . residence . The experience of boarding has been . . . hum ... an experience. Living with so many other girls certainly has changed everyone ' s views on life. It ' s very valuable in that while developing individually, we also learn to inter-mingle with our peers. We may be termed radicals , but we do have a pretty bizarre time. Here ' s hoping that all will take what they ' ve gained and use it. This year marked the first year that Mrs. Lloyd has been Dean of Residence. We also had a new assistant dean. Miss Reed. Through Miss Reed, many boarders were given the opportunity to view some very special events in Toronto, such as the ballet, opera, and Toronto Symphony. We also tried other new activities; all the boarders were split into teams and every Wednesday night we competed against each other. Some parents tried to start special classes for boarders such as embroidery, dancing and cooking. In general, a strong move was made this year to make boarding a strong community that has an entire set of its own activities. It ' s been real; let ' s do it again some time! Take care, guys. 108 AINSLIE Being a first year resident boarder you soon adapt to the melting pot culture of Ainslie House. By living with thirty girls of different temperaments, characters, and backgrounds, you soon realize the sacrifices and commitments which must be made in order for your own survival. Within a few weeks you become immune to disco music and waiting in line for the telephone. Gossip, laughing and crying soon become accustomed noises. There is always an abundance of co-operation and friendliness which can be exemplified in the activities which occur. Who could forget the blustery October day when we challenged the savages of Saint Andrew ' s College to a soccer match? Thanks to a little net changing and an impartial judge we managed a tie game. Who could forget the Christmas party, another great success? Some of the gifts received were well appreciated (right Sandy!) The highlight had to be the appearance of old St. Nick on his way to England. All three projects could not have been made possible if it wasn ' t for the guidance of two wise and admired housemothers. There were also trying moments which affected everyone that can not be ignored. But the concern and willingness of everyone enabled most of these problems to be resolved. The halls echo with the spirit felt within the house. Only the people of Ainslie House know the significance of B , Mont Tremblant is amazing , I ' m sorry, I don ' t have time to braid your hair , Should I call Bruce tonight? , Cats are better than dogs , Did you go to Le Club on Saturday? Finally this was the year our Bahamian friends Vicky, Sophie and Tammy found out about cold, the hard way: this year Andrea gave up her Italian descent to become German. Some questions, though, still remain unsolved. Will Heidi make the cover page of Seventeen? Will Gwen make the Broadway version of Hair? Will Laura eventually marry Bruce? Will Vicky be the first female recruit for the Maple Leafs? Well girls, it has been quite a year! Think of giggles, good times and guys and you ' ll remember Ainslie House 79 80. Jane Tyner BUCCLEUCH This year in boarding has been fun! Buc- cleuch house is composed of seventeen mature Junior School students dedicated to taking care of young Jacqui Atkin and to teasing and taunting the house-mothers. We begin our day at 7:20 when a loud bell rudely takes us away from our dreams. Then we have half an hour before our breakfast feast. After our daily rations we have classes, lunch, more classes and a brief hour of freedom. At five, study begins. We can hardly wait until then! Our precious nights are dedicated to doing what we love most: Homework. After dinner we have one more hour of lovely and enjoyable study, followed by another brief period of freedom before lights-out. Even though our daily routine doesn ' t sound exciting, it is, because there are a lot of ex- cellent kids living in Buccleuch who make it fun. This year in boarding, I have met 17 great friends and 3 deligent house-mothers who have 110 SHERBORNE How can one possibly describe what went on in Sherborne House this year in one tiny paragraph? New girls, new roommates, new and old housemothers, Halloween, dressing up, weird! Christmas party, amazing. Secret Santas, endless skit practices, telephone lineups, piercing screeches, a new phone (finally!). Pizza man, never-ending pizzas, 10:30 p.m. lights out, 10:31 p.m., room-hopping (whoops!). Voiceless studies and never-ending bells, Fridays and Mondays, June and sad good-byes, good times, chaos, unique and unforgettable. Bonnie Barnes. Ill MacNEILL MacNeill House this year was occupied by a variety of students. All of us kept Mrs. Johns and Mrs. Malmsten running in circles, even at three in the morning. We kept Ms. Stitt hopping during Study; I guess that ' s why she calls us her little bunnies. I think we can all agree that the owners of Bravo Pizza, Chop-Chop Chinese Food and Baskins and Robbins will miss hearing the lilting voices of C.K., Lisa Bate, Mitzi, Eileen and Fran saying, One large pizza with double cheese, two orders of chicken balls and or two litres of chocolate fudge ice cream. Our Common room won ' t be the same without the odor of all three wafting through the air as the television blares. Speaking of television, the house finally decided to rent a colour television to replace the dismal model we originally owned. Mork and Mindy is funny, but not so funny that all of us were willing to stand on our heads to watch it. Ultimately, we found that artificial entertainment wasn ' t necessary; 4 a.m. visits by certain S.A.C. students topped the LOVE BOAT every time. The excitement continued in MacNeill with the disappearance of certain teddy bears. Un- fortunately, the kidnappers could not place any ransom calls due to the ' phone committee ' : Maria, Leslie, Jackie F., and Laura. The various teds and rufi were found in mangled states by their owners; particularly vicious beatings were inflicted upon the pets of Kathy F., Lisa B., and Loree by those sadistic mongrels Kathy C. and Lisa M. I have forgotten to mention the artsy section of MacNeill, those charming songbirds of the hallways. Bindu, Jennifer, Margaret, Jan, Cindy and Kim warmed our hearts with their piano, flute and vocal abilities. And, of course, those skilled in the art of beauty — Angele and Liza. This mixture of girls will never be forgotten. This is especially true for the elite and probably most well-liked (by the staff at least) ones, the quiet ones: Dusty, Beatrice, Winnie, Claire, Julie, Elizabeth, Helen and Anita. We all had a great time, and will never forget the friends we made through MacNeill House. 112 THE KITCHEN STAFF Centre: Miss Kawano, dietitian 1979- 1980 1970 Q v- pons Adidas, Olga Korbut, Hank Aaron, Mark Spitz. | F ' n L€r Lainrn ri 1 Rpatlpc hrpaU nn Spsamp Strppt All in thp Family, Disney World, Cabaret. . 1 V nrP hnlPirv ■ ▼ OCaDUlary Ecology, Relationships, Have a Nice Day, 1 Leisure Suits. 1 F J— economics Oil crises, inflation, boyco tts, strikes.

A small corner of page sixteen of the GLOBE AND MAIL proclaimed the passing of Maureen Hadley. On January 16, 1979, she died in obscurity of what the medical examiner described a kidney failure. She was, in fact, an alcoholic; the last ten years of her life were spent in the back alleys adjoining Church Street, searching for a drink and with it, solace. Maureen Hadley was riff-raff. And yet, this woman ' s life was of enough note to warrant more than an ordinary obituary notice. Until 1969, she had played an instrumental part in the reform of alcholics. Intensely religious, it was she who helped clean up Yonge Street, opened halfway houses, and supplied vagabonds with food and clothing. To those who knew her, she was a modern-day saint. She was noble, brave and determined; everything that was asked for by those seeking a genuine hero. Tiii Why, then did Maureen Hadley die with the Stygian I n C darkness of Skid Row as a backdrop? Perhaps it was not r AM CTDO ' ohol that was her greatest enemy, but rather, her LJ | j t IXO J 1 nonconformity. In an age where the concepts of self-denial . . - . 1 1 li ii I T charity were thought to have exited with the hair shirt, 1 yj 1 OO IN 1 O l IVI I l Maureen was alone. Her adamant refusal to acquiesce to the life of comfort society wrought for only those who could By Suzie Dmgwall affQ d it was regarded as a curiosity. And, like all freaks 1979 Senior School gnd deviants, she became an instrument of profit for Prize Essay some, and an object of rejection and hatred for others. Characteristically enough, society has never warmed itself to those who choose to digress from ' normal ' life; one has only to look at Joan of Arc or Anne Hutchison to realize the truth of this statement. We do not embrace those who sacrifice, but rather those who mould them into sacrificial lambs. It is difficult to un- derstand why a man hides in the Himalayas seeking truth, but it is fatuously simple to idolize those who expose the fraudulent religious fanatics such as Maureen Hadley. In a way, society is like a leech: we sense instinctively the value of an object, and then pluck from it its greatness to nourish ourselves, leaving behind a shrivelled fragile shell of no worth. So it was in the case of Maureen Hadley. Abused by reporters seeking stories of corruption, exploited by self-appointed aides, she retreated from the world, leaving behind her dignity, her pride, and her faith. She had been taken apart and examined under a microscope. Her valuable services were utilized by all and appreciated or rewarded by none. A lost faith in humanity directed her towards the bottle, and escape from which she never returned. What, then, was it that caused Maureen Hadley to turn from a life of moral pulchritude to one of moral turpitude? Certainly her refusal to conform was instrumental; but it was society ' s reception of her un- conventionality that finally tipped the scales. The greatest danger of nonconformity is that, ironically, it must be acceptable to all. My great-grandmother once gave me a china shoe. I had several other china figures, but I ' d broken or chipped most of them, and I remember my mother was afraid I was not ready for another one. This one was unique — I don ' t know what attracted me to it, but I knew I had to have it. Within the first five minutes of possession I had broken it. At first, I thought if I could glue it back together again, it would hold all the same magic. But my efforts were clumsy at best, and the haphazardly constructed object I now saw was a mockery of the old. I realized then that it was like all the rest. Perhaps the danger in Maureen Hadley ' s case was not her originality, nor in the way her spirit was broken, but rather in the way, through rejection, that we put her back together again.

The illustrious rays of the solar mass no longer penetrated my figure with such a frenzied intensity. The flatus billowed through my locks and the empyream bedimmed with scud. I could tell that a neoteric season was almost upon me. This was the tercer that I had undergone since I commenced my animate existence on your wandering star. The premieres two seasons were spring and summer or so I have heard you summon them and I awaited autumn. Spring and summer were most gleeful but the descending of the equinox to the winter solstice seemed to be a little dismal. However, animate existence on this wandering star summoned la tere is often quite flustering. I was assigned to probe this season very gingerly. It was so diverse from the other two I had previously investigated. The premiere transposition was in the colour of the foliation. They deviated to comely illustrious shades of red, orange and yellow. It resembled a blaze in the empyream. I passed many periods of daylight probing this amazing metamorphosis that had occurred. I rested my posterior on a rock and investigated every colour of every foliation in every sapling within my vision. There was never alguno this comely on Rogus 14. But then it took place. My annoyance and animosity were insurmountable. They declined. Every single piece of beauteous firery orange, canary yellow and poppy red declined to the soil, limp and void of animate existence. I essayed everything within my puissance to bring them back to animate existence. I nursed them gingerly; I injected them with F-19, our strongest re-animating serum and in a final frenzied en- deavour, I went to the corner tienda and procured some crazy glue to essay to cohere them back on their ramifications. Nothing laboured. All that subsisted was a soil covered in defunct foliation and barren, lonely saplings. Now I rest my posterior on the rock on which I passed so many hours of contentment, investigating that comely foliation. I am positive my coronary centre will fracture. There is no solace here. The inhabitants of this sadistic wandering star simply enfilade my pobre amis and char them, yes char them! My anguish is almost too puissant to tolerate. After experiencing this excerable monstrosity, I skulk at what will occur when winter befalls. Oh negation! Ameliorate me! Ameliorate me! The empyream is declining!

Teresa Fischer Grade 13 Picture by Susie Garay Grade 10 120 Sunset on Tiree The tide of night is lapping gently on the shore of day, Washing away the light that still remains. But even as it does, the sun makes one defiant stand Sending out straight shafts of orange light. Gently spreading upwards, tinting colours of the sky; Blue now turns to green and then to pink. Pink and orange fight the battle; still the darkness comes. Night that turned to day returns with dusk. Silver sand is tinted with the colours of the sky. Sea is emerald green and sapphire blue. Window panes like beacons now reflect the dying sun Flashing like morse code to coming night. Then upwards from the sea without a fanfare comes the moon Casting silver shafts among the gold. The sun seeing its enemy knows the battle ' s done And sinks beneath the covering of the sea. The moon now rising higher is the champion of the dark. Its craters glint in light that seems its own And gently it leaves footsteps on the surface of the sea, A pathway reaching upwards to the stars. Still the tide advances.

As he drove into the University parking lot and parked under a ' NO PARKING ' sign, he promised himself that he would prove his father wrong. After the parking attendant showed him where he could park and charged Gerald for a parking permit, Gerald collected his various belongings and began the search for the right building containing the right room. Chemistry Lab 220- B. Peering through his Coke-bottom glasses, he made out a group of people walking towards one of the buildings, and entering it by a side door. Gerald hurried over to make use of this obvious familiarity with the school. After disentangling himself from the kitchen staff, Gerald had the idea of asking someone the way to Chemistry Lab 220-B. Gerald was in luck; the senior from Kalamazoo High had just been to the Science wing on her tour, and was able to direct Gerald in the general direction. Gerald thanked her, and moved off. After coming to the edge of the river that ran by the campus, Gerald reversed direction and eventually crossed the Common and found himself in front to two huge oak doors with the inscription in stone above: ' The Arthur Withington Science Wing ' . Duly impressed, Gerald opened one of the doors and entered. Now within his element, Gerald was able to deduce that Chemistry Lab 220-B would most likely be on the second floor. He returned to the main floor upon seeing that the room numbers on the floor above began with three. Chemistry Lab 220-B was right across the hall from the men ' s washroom; by this time, Gerald felt in need of refreshment. As he bent over the sink, Gerald felt his glasses slip and begin to fall. Bringing his soapy right hand up quickly, he succeeded in hitting them at the wrong angle, and they went flying off. He also succeeded in getting soap in his eye. Gerald ' s father was right. Lisa Hafner Grade 13 123 that word Anne Clements Grade 13 I ' m eight years old, and, thinking ' bout all the guys I ' ve hung around with, I ' d have to say that Jason is my best friend out of all of them. I ' ve known him ever since he was three and I was one and we used to take our moms for walks in the park. When I got older I played baseball with Jason and his friends, but one day, when I was four and Jason ' s friends were six, they told Jason that they wouldn ' t play with a baby like me. Well, Jason, he told them that he wouldn ' t play if I couldn ' t. I was worried ' cause Jason doesn ' t have too many friends anyway and it seemed like he was about to lose the only ones he had, just ' cause of me, but they let both of us play so everything was okay. Each winter, Jason and I make a skating rink in his back yard. It ' s usually kind of bumpy but it ' s our own private rink. Each afternoon, when Jason has scored on me for the twentieth time and my fingers feel numb with cold he asks me to come inside for some hot chocolate. His mom always has it ready. She ' s always nice, real nice, except for the time Jason and I made mud pies in the living room, but that was when we were just little kids. When I was five I went to school and Jason showed me the ropes so I ' d get along okay. When I was old enough he told what those words on the wall, that you can ' t say in front of grown-ups, meant so the other guys wouldn ' t tease me for not knowing — there was One Word on the wall which he didn ' t tell me about but I didn ' t notice at the time. He is a real good friend though. Jason and I always walk to school together. In the morning, I meet him in front of his house at eight-thirty and at lunch-time he comes over to my house, after he ' s eaten, to watch The Flintstones , ' cause I have a colour set and he doesn ' t and The Flintstones is funnier in colour; then we go to school. We only live two blocks from school but we are always late anyway, ' cause there ' s so much to do on the way. Picking apples, collecting chestnuts, damming gutters and finding short-cuts takes a long time. One day, on the way to school, Jason was across the street picking up chestnuts and some boys started to pick on me but Jason saw and scared them away. I wish I could do the same when those big boys pick on Jason and call him That Word but they are too big and Jason made me promise to stay away from them. Whenever I feel sad, Jason tells me jokes. He ' s always laughing except sometimes when I see him walking alone. It ' s always the same. I ask him if anything ' s wrong and he says No and tells me a joke to prove it. This year I ' m old enough to try out for the school football team so Jason has been coaching me. Last night we threw spirals outside but my mom called me in ' cause it was getting dark. This morning I went to meet Jason outside his house like usual but he didn ' t come. He didn ' t come for so long that I rang his door bell. His mom always answers the door but today Jason ' s bratty little sister an- swered it. I asked where Jason was. She said he was in the hospital. I didn ' t believe her, of course, ' cause she ' s a bratty little sister and Jason had been fine last night, but then she started crying and it wasn ' t fake crying either. Some boys threw rocks at our windows last night and one hit Jason. His bed is by the window. She showed me the sign that those boys had put on Jason ' s front lawn. It had That Word on it. It said Paki Go Home . Jason never did tell me what that word meant. I still don ' t understand even though Mom explained to me what it meant. She said she doesn ' t understand either. 124 Remember A beautiful sight Caught at the right time Leaves a picture etched In the viewer ' s mind. A few words spoken From the heart, sincere, Is a wonderful thing For the listener to hear. Time taken for a thought From memories stored long ago. Rejuvenates the feelings That are treasured ever so. Dusty Robertson, Grade 13 Deja Vu Movie Comfort A feeling, a presence and time A person ' s image false like mime Something of silence and petty thought Semistructures of mind much for sought Images, lines, words and sighs A footstep so placid it passes by. Shadows of movement, slightly seen A memory, startling, of somewhere been. Darcy Bett, Grade 9 Exams loom. Bringing thoughts of failure My pen has run out of ink. The television preaches detergent And how two women agree . I am not convinced, The bookshelf is lined with books That stand like soldiers, Glaring discipline. The radio transmits over-played love songs And for the moment, I am not in love. It rains depression outside And the park frowning ominously Reflects the inevitable . . . . . . But the theatre beckons and Dustin Hoffman brings sunshine to Toronto. Rebecca Upjohn Grade 12 I wonder into a maze. And tell me, what do I see, People wandering around, somehow bound To a kind of fantasy. I wonder into their eyes. And tell me, what do I find, A certain thought is being sought In the passages of the mind. Even if I knew their reasons I doubt if I would understand Even if I knew their purpose I don ' t think I could comprehend. I wonder into the unconscious And the purpose I discover, I would say but can ' t give it away Because I ' m just another.

Jane Moes, Grade 12 On Valentine ' s Day A lady walked down the street One day, And dropped her white glove Upon the way. A gentleman happened To come along; He picked up the glove And sang a song. His song sang sweetly about Valentine ' s Day, And then he asked her if She ' d marry him in May. The lady exclaimed, Oh yes! And settled her thumping heart.

Jill Adams, Grade 13 Indian Burial Ground And we skipped among the grave mounds Lithely, joyfully dancing a rhythm of death Spirits soaring, yet wide eyes wary Intensely silent, lest we defile The sacred writings of the fallen totems. Hair glinting in the sun ' s fiery rays, We leaped from trunk to trunk As deer fleeing felt underbrush threats Swiftly, gracefully, that we do not wake the dead. And no creature else stirs among the totems. Pause. Spirits return! The flight is o ' er. Quickly, cheerfully, senses awakening to evil - Feet stiffened - minds thinking fluidly Watching, waiting for certain sign that we have erred And a raven soars low as midnight from the totems Shiona MacKenzie, Grade 10 Sheila Buchanan, Grade 13 127 The House Guest The room was in complete darkness. Rustling leaves cast wild dancing shadows on the walls of Emily ' s room. A car door slammed. She bolted out of bed and crept stealthily towards the open window. It was him. A streetlamp shone yellow light upon the intruder. There was her brother running foolishly towards the fat man. He laughed too loudly and his belly jiggled. She hated that. He was bald except for the wispy bits of hair which he carefully arranged over the crown of his head. Her mother informed her that he was her Uncle Frank but she knew damned well he was no uncle of hers. She could hear muffled laughter in the living room. A lower voice was droning amid the laughing and would occasionally break into a horrible wheezing. She took a deep breath. How could she possibly endure another dinner with such a loathsome man? Slowly she descended the stairs. He waddled towards her, fat arms flapping, anticipating a hug. She winced as he kissed her on the cheek. She would wash her face afterwards. He smelled of pipe smoke and stale aftershave. He chortled on about what a lovely girl she was and how had school been these days. She stole a quick glance at her mother who was grinning stupidly like a schoolgirl at her first prom. Swallowing her pride, she conversed politely with Fats. Dinner would be meticulously prepared lamb or turkey. Emily stared grimly at her plate, trying to block out his voice. He rattled on about past trips he had taken and what a terrible review Jean Fontview had written about . . . She started when she realized that he was asking her to accompany him to the horse show next Tuesday and perhaps they could go to dinner af- terwards, just the two of them. His gold-plated tooth glinted like a gruesome fang in the candlelight. His eyes shone like a pair of little black beads. She longed to reply, Thank you Fats but frankly you repel me. Instead she informed him that she was allergic to horses and pretended not to notice the startled look on her mother ' s face. He laughed loudly and loosened his tie which was digging into one of his chins. She studied him carefully as he became totally engaged in conversation with her mother. His pale skin and troll- like appearance seemed comical compared to her father ' s olive complexion and deep brown eyes. His hands were small with short stubby fingers. Her father ' s were tapered and clever-looking. Frank was nothing compared to her father. Mercifully the guest departed promptly after dinner. The table was cleared in silence. After sprinting quickly up the stairs, Emily retreated to the safety of her bed. Something, she decided, was not right. Her door clicked open and a flood of light from the hallway revealed the thin silhouette of her mother. She hesitated in the doorway and then seated herself on the edge of the bed. She questioned Emily ' s rudeness and without waiting for an answer continued to describe what a kind, understanding man Uncle Frank was and how he would be good for Emily and her brother. Her mother kissed her gently on the forehead and asked her to try to understand. Emily refused to cry. Her father was gone and mother was in love with another man. A fat man. Frank was nothing compared to her father.

She started with you YESTERDAY, in Grade 4, and is graduating TODAY, from Grade 13. During her sojourn with you, you constantly encouraged her to develop her scholastic capabilities but, more importantly, you taught her the values of honour and friendship. Her love for you is real, her ties to you are many and the friends you ' ve given her are gifts she ' ll carry away with her forever. To all who created the essence of you, both scholastically and aesthetically, to all who participated in the construction of your qualities as a school, may we thank you sincerely and extend a God Bless . We know, Branksome Hall, that you will preserve your high standards and rare values and we look forward to perhaps ten years hence, (tomorrow, really) when our granddaughter opens the same door which our daughter is so reluctantly closing behind her today.
