1980 SPORTS DAY They stood anxiously at the starting line waiting for the gun. Boom! They were off like a shot! Sports Day had begun. Branksomites, both spectators and participants, flocked the field waiting for their events in their green bloomers and white gym shirts (and of course, their Slogans)! Some spectators even watched from trees. Mrs. Kizoff, Mrs. Jennings and Sheila Buchanan had everything arranged. All the events went smoothly. Sandy Palmer flew her antelope legs over the high jump to become the overall Senior Division Champ. She also excelled in the sprint and long jump. Lisa Beer, with her amazing speed, managed to catch the overall 80-meter sprint trophy. Everyone tried really hard. From the baseball throw to the 400 metre run, Branksomites competed in every event showing great sportsmanship. We all hope that this year ' s Sports Day will go as well as 1980 ' s. Sue LeFeuvre

TRACK AND FIELD This year the Track and Field team was more victorious than ever before! We successfully held the Toronto District Track and Field finals, and, five girls: Jane Horner, Sarah Wiley, Alison Wiley, Kate Wiley, and Darcy Bett qualified for O.F.S.S.A. These five girls made up the five-man Branksome team that won the overall Girl ' s trophy in the Ontario finals. Kate Wiley, in the Senior Women ' s division, placed second in the 3000m, and second in the 1500m races. Alison Wiley, in the Junior Women ' s division, placed first in 1500m, and second in the 800m races. Sarah Wiley, in the midget division, placed ninth in the 1500m race. Darcy Bett placed first in the javelin event and Jane Horner did extremely well in the hurdle events. Congratulations are due to these girls; Branksome was proud to be represented by them. All members of the Track and Field team went through hours of gruelling training with Mr. Wright and Mr. Payne from Upper Canada College, but the hours paid off. Personal bests, school records, and even provincial ones were broken during competitions, and we were victorious among the Private Schools. A special thanks is due to Mrs. Kizoff and the Upper Canada College coaches for their hours of help and en- couragement. Track Team Members: Centre left picture on op- posite page.

ST. ANDREW ' S MARCH Every spring our brother-school marches from Rosedale Park to St. Paul ' s Anglican Church on Bloor St. As they pass Branksome Hall, the Batallion leader orders, Eyes to the right, and they salute and acknowledge Branksome ' s past, present, and future. They are in regimental dress; they look distinguished. Their kilts are red and match the colour of our Prefect ' s kilt. There are 12 Prefects standing in front of the school, and 8 clan banners brightly blowing in the wind. There are green kilts there, too, and the pride that we all have in this occasion will be remembered forever. THE SPRING The Syncronized Swimming Club ' s contribution to the annual Arts Festival is the Swimarama. The Swimarama, held last May, was a success. Few people realize how many hours of practice are needed to put into a show. Participants are both Junior and Senior School students and they compose their own solos, duets, and trios. There were two routines that deserve special recognition; that of the senior team, and The Drama Club ended a successful year with their spring productions of Passacaglia, Arsenic and Old Lace, and the musical, The Boy Friend. Passacaglia went on to place in the Metro Finals at Hart House Theatre with C.K. Purks winning the award for the best actress. Arsenic and Old Lace was an adventure. Comedy filled the room for two hours on two consecutive nights. Last year ' s fashion show turned out to be a great success for everyone involved. A lot of hard work went into it by students in Grades from 9-12. The show was in May and from September until then, there were many busy people in the textile ' s lab. The show was organized and produced by the Grade 12 Fashion Arts Class. The fashion director was Alison Adams and the stage director was Judy MacGowan. 10
