We are a traditional school moving into the un- certain but exciting decade of the 1980 ' s. We wear a uniform which has not been changed for over forty years at a time when uniforms are generally un- popular, however much the recent preppy craze may have updated us sartorially. I have always seen Branksome as a community to which those who love it may always belong and the uniform as uniting those of us who attended many years ago with the present girls and with those of the future. It helps us to see ourselves as a community, not in any way suggesting uniformity or, worse, minds that conform. May this continue to be a school where individuality is important, where increasingly the special talents of the individual are fostered and held dear, where not only mathematical ability is recognized and rewarded but also the special, sometimes disturbing, outlook of the artist, where the outgoing can find expression but where the introspective person also has a respected place. May we be critical and demanding of ourselves without losing our spirit and very good sense of fun. With demanding standards, originality and spirit in mind, I have been impressed with much that has happened this year - the effort put into the Carol Service by both Junior and Senior Schools and the dignity with which the girls conducted themselves, the way the Kilt Press has managed to stir us up to reply to their editorials, the cheering section a hundred strong at the Bishop ' s Cup, our good standing at debates, the ingenuity shown in morning announcements and skits, the novelty of prefect ' s prayers, the grade 7 French play which the students wrote themselves, the material chosen by the prefects for the Remembrance Day Service, the leadership shown by Clan Chieftains on both sides of Mount Pleasant, and the events throughout the year which girls have contributed to with care, time and their own imaginations. As September 7, 1981 drew nearer it brought with it feelings of anxiety, excitement, anticipation and reluctance. V hat did this coming year have in store for us? For some it was a new school with customs that take a while to adapt to and classrooms that take a century to find. For others it was one more step up the ladder to graduation. But for all of us it was a year full of spirit. The interest and enthusiasm from everyone was something to remember. At the Bishop ' s Cup Bransomites filled the stands while at the Father-Daughter Dance Branksome fathers filled the gym. The kettle never stopped whistling the afternoon of the Mother-Daughter Tea and neither did the teachers when they outplayed us all in performing their Christmas skit. This attitude was very encouraging, especially for the prefects, as it made their task so much more en- joyable and rewarding. The warmth and friendliness that I have always associated with Branksome was present during my stay in MacNeill House. This experience and all my years at Branksome are memories that will remain with me always. 5 EHGLkSH HISTDRV, GEDGRfiPHV PHVSlCfiL EDUCfiTiOn English Mrs. D. Watson, Mrs. M. Roe, Mrs. K.

The clans compete in a wide range of activities which, in turn, generate an incredible amount of school spirit. In my nine years at Branksome, I have seen an increasing growth in the spirit of the clans. Every year it becomes stronger and stronger. This spirit could not be possible without a good group of leaders. This year ' s clan chieftains are a great group of gals. Few people realize the amount of time they put into organizing activities for the school. Many clan activities have become so popular that they naturally have become tradition. Good examples of this are activities such as Baking Contest, Cross-Country Run and the competitive sports such as basketball and volleyball. I think Branksome will continue to see the growth of a strong clan system which is one factor that makes Branksome so unique. Mary Morden Head of Intramurals CHlEFTflinS A The Strong who have been saying nothing would like to say something - Spirit, Spirit we have got!

Sensational! Stephanie Toro, MacGregor H An outrage! Positively divine clan! Yet to be surpassed. Rock on, McAlpine. Tory Russell, McAlpine THE EDkTDRS Branksome has always been a school of traditions. Even the uniform, the clans and the old buildings reflect this quality. This is not to say, however, that Branksome never changes or that progress isn ' t a part of the Branksome tradition. Renovations and additions to the physical make-up of the school have constantly been made, particularly in the past few years. Within the school there are additions of new clubs and organizations, according to the changing expectations, beliefs and originality of the incoming students. Perhaps the most recent example of progress and tradition at Branksome came with the infiltration of computers two years ago. This year, computers became a true part of Branksome life. A computer course and club were started, both equally popular in the school and actively representative of today ' s society. Perhaps indicative of the advent of computers in our lives at Branksome is their inclusion in the design of our yearbook. We have used special computer writing throughout the Slogan for continuity, but more traditional layout for balance. The SLOGAN is divided into eight sections, to give some order and organization. I hope that this won ' t detract from the unity felt by us at Branksome. The Activities section is dedicated not only to the clubs of the school, but also to that which makes this year different from every other: the people. We have used numerous candid pages throughout the book to show these people in action. After all, a picture IS worth a thousand words! Since we live in a country of many languages and cultures, and since BHS welcomes all of them, we have included a very small representation of different languages in the Arts section under Multilingual. We hope this section will grow to include many more languages in the future. Our link with the outside world is Inside-Out. We have scattered a few new layouts in the SLOGAN which we hope will be especially indicative of this year. Special thanks for all the work, cooperation, ideas and late nights that go into creating a SLOGAN, go to the SLOGAN Staff: to Mrs. Roe and Mrs. Gray for all their advice and cheeriness; to Heather and Michelle for having their cameras as best friends throughout the year; to Susan and Karen for their artistic eye in layouts; to Meribeth for keeping her fingers nimble by typing; to Martha and Sloane for keeping the book going on the business side; to Susie for her willingness and wit; and to Julie and Leslie. The final words of thanks must be to Mrs. MacGregor, our Staff Advisor, who kept me going and on whose help, confidence and unending support we were always able to rely. A good yearbook is one which appeals to the majority of the people for whom it is designed. We hope the SLOGAN will appeal to you and trigger a few memories in the future. Remember the good times. ■r What do you think I am? (no comment). Wouldn ' t you like to know! Michelle (left) and Heather (right) in the darkroom.!

I speak as a student looking back upon six Branksome Hall- residence years and am prepared to defend my previous statement in any case of a non-believer crossing my road of destiny (the road, incidentally will no doubt have been kept very well!). It ' s impossible (sometimes unavoidable) not to achieve indescribable feelings of closeness and rare, lasting friendships. I mean it ' s difficult, if you wish to live in peace, not to Love Thy Neighbour when thy neighbour is sleeping four feet away from you each night! Needless to say, we ' ve had a great year and for those I ' ve left behind, I wish as much and more in years to come. Love, Gwen HOUSE moms Back: Mrs. Kaur, Mrs. Diamond, Mrs. Dickens, Mrs. Milonas, Miss Friend. Front: Miss Kalsatos, Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Glancy. Away: Miss Mitchell. HOUSE U.i.P;S 1 HOUSE lUDRDS Ainslie House Is composed of various different nationalities and per- sonalities. This year our House-Mothers have been lust GREAT! They had their hands full with 28 adolescent and rowdy girls. This year we didn ' t have a Don, so we feel that an extra pat on the back is due to our devoted housemothers for keeping their sanity. We think that you would agree that this year has been a most fulfilling and exciting experience, which it couldn ' t have been without the mystery of the missing Designer clothing of H. MacG. But who could forget that memorable night when Paola 0. spent ONLY 5 minutes talking on the phone, or the piercing screams from Penny P. when she saw her first falling snowflake. Then there was that October night when our West-Indian friends taught us all how to Jam and Limbo to the Calypso beat and Sian and Shobha caught the doughnut fever. Then we had a certain newcomer to our house who always had a good excuse for everything she did wrong, Hey! I ' m just a new girl. How would I know? Right Julia? Collingwood phone calls every night, right Ram? Who could forget when Charlene got her new Ghetto Blaster and the Jam it let out or Stephanie Toro with her Let ' s watch Magnum. Probably the most well liked girls were the ones who were the most quiet: Anna, Dova, Debbie, Jennifer, Patricia and Mouse. Where ' s Carmen? In the bathtub, need you ask? I ' m going on a diet tomorrow. Has anyone seen Bonnie? I ' m down here Ruth. Karen and Rachel with, anyone want to ordera pizza? Has anyone seen Willie? I think I ' ll call Charlie tonight. Who wants some Kraft Dinner? Anyone back, Mrs. G? Same Time, Same Place, Same Friends, Next Year Love, Ruth and Bonnie Being a member of Buccleuch includes experiencing the following: - phone line-ups. - midnight cookie binges and early morning homework sessions. - tears and laughter, disappointment and joy. - being a pizza fanatic that lives for Wednesday night. - a sad farewell to Miss Reid. - learning to live with each other. - blaring stereos at 10:29 p.m. -STUDY...? - living for mail and weekends. - newfound and everlasting friendships. The feeling of Buccleuch House could never be condensed and written up on one small page. One has to experience our life from day to day to know just exactly what we mean. This year has been an excellent one for us and we ' ve continued to remain a happy family. I hope this house will be lucky enough in the future years to hold some girls that are as fantastic as these girls have been. Good luck in the future and love all of you always. Jennifer Priest, Celia McDougall This is the end or maybe it is just the beginning. We may be few in number this year, only being nineteen girls, but one would never know it! The house spirit and participation are great; especially for the haunted house for the younger girls - great way to relieve hostilities. McNeill House girls help to support many activities like pizza feasts, mattress moving, trunk parties, mop races, Alison roomcheck and the sheet ex- change. We also have many talents in the house. Mrs. Diamond makes incredible sweaters for bathmats. There is our famous Newspaper La Bouche by Sky. Mary and Shaenie provide intrahouse music. Lisa is our expert on how to break and mend bones. And, of course, our own siren Sandy. To a terrific group, good-bye and good luck. Mindy Until this year, the Junior Residence has been Buccleuch. This year we were moved over to our side of the street to Sherborne House! Another im- portant thing about this year is to congratulate Victoria Murray, for being our youngest border. Each year something special happens at Hallow ' een - we have a big dinner and all the borders get dressed up. This year we won some com- petitions. Then, like every year, MacNeill House had a Haunted house for us. Thanks, Grads, for making it the best ever! We ' ll never forget water fights, taking a rest on the chairs during study, sleeping in, being late for breakfast, rules, phone calls and being homesick until the night before the holidays when everyone is really excited. Thanks Sherbonites and House Mothers. Have fun next year. Have a great holiday. See you next year!

Although it has always been there, and often been seen, I ' ve never FELT it the way I have this year. The energy and excitement of the cheers ringing in the gym promotes a unique sense of spirit known only to a Branksomite who has been there. It makes me P roud to be part of Branksome Hall when i can ' t even hear myself think at a basketball game because the cheers are so loud. Not only am i proud of the amount of support that Branksome gives to its teams, but of the team members, who represent us in competition. Uiur range of sports programs provides a wide variety of athletics to become involved in: from hockey to fencing to badminton and tennis; from basketball and volleyball; from cross-country and soccer to baseball and fitness; from swimming to skiing, Branksome tries to include something for everyone. ibbit; who represents us at all our games and encourages Branksome with cheers of victory. He leads our teams to competition at BSS, Havergal, St. Clements, etc. . . and even chases our cross- country team around at Boyd Conservation Area. And when times are rough, Ribbit gives encouragement to our school . . . T he teams ' commitment, hard training, skill, determination, com- bined with the valuable help of the coaches help build a precious team spirit and sense of belonging - a feeling of pride understood by those who have been part on a Branksome team. Our teams have always done exceptionally well. With competition branching out to the TDCAA and OFSAA levels, team members know they have the support of the whole school behind them. Winning isn ' t what ' s important, as long as they give it all they ' ve got. And Branksome has a lot to give. I think this year can best be summed up: ImM pirit, spirit we have got! Not a little, but a lot! Kelly BftShETBflLL Basketball started out with a great season! We had a fantastic turnout. It was hard work, tough competition, but lots of fun! From the fifth team in the Junior School to the first team in the Senior School, there were a number of games played; both lost and won. Even though the results were sometimes discouraging, the spirit continued to pour out. Thanks!! coaches, supporters and players, it was a great season.

Painfully I tried to increase the speed in my aching legs which threatened to stop at any moment. Sweat kept dripping into my eyes, half blinding me. The miles stretched out in front of me. All the while I wondered What am I doing this for? I ' m sure that ' s the question that ran through the mind of everyone on the team as they went through similar pains to finish a gruelling 3.2 mile race. The answer lies in the finish and in a physical well-being that makes it all worthwhile. The races all went well this year, thanks to Mrs. Kizoff. She was always able to calm our raw nerves as we anxiously awaited our races. We were a real team this year in the full sense of the word and greatly appreciated the support we received from other fellow students and staff. Cross-Country Team.

We were cheered on by at least 30 supporters whose enthusiasm was outstanding. We wouldn ' t have done as well as we did without the help of our trusty coach, Mrs. Lumsdon and our scorer, Mrs. Kizoff. Everyone on the team deserves a pat on the back.

Well, let ' s not be modest. To be perfectly honest, we crushed every team that dared venture into our sphere of excellence. The only losses we suffered were three balls that, of their own accord, leapt over the lower field fence and onto Rosedale Valley Road in a desperate at- tempt to save themselves from the brutal beatings suffered at the feet of the Branksomites during soccer practice. Dan the Man (official title - Mr. G. D ' Antoni) is the catalyst of this great athletic enterprise and we owe him many thanks for nurturing the best soccer team this side of Yonge and Bloor.

THE GVm: PLACE TD... 68 70 71 Snow When I woke this morning To find snow the world adorning I did think of quickly running Way down south where it is sunning. I hate snow with a passion ' Though to some to ski ' s the fashion I can ' t see the point in priding Myself in the art of sliding. I dislike the cold wind blowing, And the snow that ' s softly snowing, And the cold air that is numbing. How I pray that summer ' s coming! He stood in a shadow, a checkered blanket draped loosely over his tiny shoulders, and watched the firemen put away the last of their gear. Most of the crowd had gone home by then because there was nothing more to see. There were a few stragglers still exclaiming among themselves, Ooh you should have seen it. It just destroyed everything. Poor family that lived there. Wonder what they ' ll do now? Jack had been sent to bed early that night because he and his best friend, Ronald, had broken the neighbour ' s window. It had been an accident. Ronald should have caught the ball. It wasn ' t Jack ' s fault he ' d missed. But his father just wouldn ' t listen, as usual. Why couldn ' t hisfather be like Ronald ' s, Jack had thought murderously as he pulled off his trousers. It took him a long time to fall asleep because he had been reflecting on the unfairness of life for ages. He was half asleep when he heard Banjo barking and his father yelling at the dog to shut up. Then, suddenly, his father was in his room, not yelling at Banjo now, but at him, jerking him upright in bed and shaking him. What had he done this time? Or was this a dream? He found himself on his feet with a blanket around him, walking towards the door. His father ' s words suddenly became clear. A fire here? Couldn ' t be. His father has said that this house would be the last house in the city that would burn down. Jack stumbled down the stairs. Upstairs his father was yelling for Banjo. Banjo, Banjo, here boy, he called. Outside it was cold. It froze open his eyelids and abruptly he was wide awake. He could hear sirens grinding louder and louder. He could see flames darting in and out of the top windows of his house, moving as to antagonize the trees that grew nearby. People came pouring out of their neighbouring homes, pulling their dressing gowns closed as they ran. Jack saw the neighbour whose window he had broken and unconsciously withdrew a few paces. His father he had not seen yet. The fire engines, all red and glowing, raced up to his house and jerked to a stop, the men leaping off simultaneously and removing the necessary gear. Quickly they hooked up a huge, long hose and directed the water towards the flames. Jack stood fascinated with horror and interest intermingled. Two firemen raced into the house wearing oxygen masks and a few minutes later returned bearing Jack ' s father. Banjo yapped at their heels. An ambulance whisked them away. The neighbours hummed with observers ' excitement. They didn ' t see Jack shivering in the shadows. He didn ' t see them either. His eyes were intent upon the fire. He could almost see it cackle. He watched it destroy his home. Sky Lamothe Susan Donahue Christie Baillie The Light In the darkness, It was confusing Looking for a stranger, in the night. To find a human Quite amusing Searching for someone, in the night. Then it flashed upon your eyes What has taken you by surprise? You ' re overcome with madness . . .

It ' s like being thrown into space Never stopping, never turning, no control Endless black, hollow mass Once you are pulled into that void You can never escape from that grasping Noair A dark blanket of nothing But still . . .

Katy Rea Grade 12 Island of the Sun I am on the balcony overlooking the city to one side and the mysterious sea to the other. The sky is deep blue and pink fans of clouds stain it. The breeze is tropical and warm, and in the fading light, I can see the bustle of people in the fruit stalls, vendors pushing their carts laden with delicious wares, and men selling coconuts by the cluttered street. Mixed sounds and smells rise up to me, intoxicating me like wine and filling my head like a balloon. The beach is calm and distant. It is framed with green palms, twisted and reaching. The sea is still except for the gentle, un- dulating waves that roll white and crash on sloping, golden sands. There is the sound of birds in the air, and a large exotic moth stumbles by, lulled into drowsiness by the lingering scent of hibiscus and warm-blooded people. In the horizon, a tiny fishing vessel packs up for the day and creeps slowly towards shore. The sky is now violet, and like tiny perfect diamonds, a myriad of stars pierce the darkness with light. The moon rises up, full and round and softens the craggy mountains with its beams. The palms are silhouetted and the ocean is a luminous sheet. All is now quiet . . . Jennifer Kim Grade 11 78 The pretense is strength but she fails only to herself. Outside it ' s cold and unimportant, until she lets herself inside and discovers what degree she had falsely held. The truth starts here and the realization - the realization of pain and hurt, of raw emotions intensified through the previous loss. Thus, to be inflicted upon in such a way is the worst, yet the best thing - which makes her awareness real. Is it sad? Gwen Baillie Grade 13 Morning The scurrying wind is crying. I feel drowsy as I dreamily torment myself into a world of bearable feelings. Entwining myself in sleep, I smell the solemn and sad wind. I awake once again to find the storm has abated And I think again that the world can be mine. Claire Duckworth Grade 9 Elementary ...

The game ' s afoot! you ' d loudly call Two sets of feet on the stair would fall. Through swirls of London ' s fog you ' d race Though danger or death surrounded the chase. My dear Holmes! John Watson would cry. How did you know that he had lied? In front of a fire, at 221B, Sherlock would smile and say - Elementary ... The scene was a dismal one; my brother Andy sat slouched over, his head in his hands, and I stared tixedly, close to tears, out the window. The room was silent save for the sound of our cat Scruffy purring contentedly away in cat heaven. I threw the T.V. guide at her - in our state of misery the sight of any happy being was unbearable. Indignant yet composed, Scruffy raised herself, arched her back, and sauntered off, giving me a dirty look over her shoulder. Suddenly my brother exploded. Goddamn television! Goddamn it! Wouldn ' t you know it! Wouldn ' t you just know it! It figures. It bloody well figures! And it did, too. The one time we had something vital to see on television, it was inevitable that it would go on the blink just as the show was beginning. We had found out the week before. I was reading the en- tertainment section of the newspaper when a tiny paragraph, tucked away between two advertisements, caught my eye: The Grateful Dead, Live from Turlock, California, the paragragh read, a three hour special, Saturday at 2:00 a.m. on channel 7. My heart stopped. I read it again to make sure that I was seeing right. I was! I grabbed the newspaper and flew upstairs, calling to my brother. Andy! Andy! I screamed, The Dead! Saturday night! On T.V.! I burst into his room and thrust the newspaper under his nose. Wha - Oh my God! Holy -! he gasped as he read it. Can you believe it! I shouted, slapping him on the back, Live! Thr e hours! I laughed hysterically. We then bounced kangaroo-style downstairs to the stereo and put on our favourite Dead album with the volume dial turned to maximum. Fortunately our parents were out at the time. My brother ' s and my reaction might seem rather excessive, but we have been devoted Deadheads for years. We have all their albums, we know all their songs (even the ones we don ' t like), we even have Grateful Dead t-shirts. But we ' ve never been to a Grateful Dead concert, which, according to my oldest brother John (another Deadhead) is quite an experience. I ' m so jealous of him that I can hardly bear to hear him talk about the THREE - yes three! - concerts he has seen. So, to actually be able to see the Dead, even on television, was something so incredible as to send both my brother and me dancing arou nd the house, intoxicated with ecstasy. Needless to say my homework was severely neglected that week; all I could think about was the coming Saturday, a slow eternity away. Finally Saturday arrived. We were very careful not to exert ourselves in any way - we wanted lots of energy for when the time came. At eleven p.m. we settled ourselves in the T.V. room, armed with beer and Hostess Tortilla Chips (cheese flavour) to wait out the three hours before the broadcast was to start. We watched M A S H, The Twilight Zone, and an old Alfred Hitchcock movie. Finally it was two o ' clock. We sat up expectantly at the Tide commercial, clenched our hands at station identification, leapt up and cheered as the Grateful Dead logo appeared on the screen, and froze in disbelief as the picture went black and little fuzzy lines appeared. No! cried my brother, It can ' t be! No! he dashed for- ward and fell on his knees in front of the television. Frantically he turned all the dials, but to no avail - the picture was the same. He kicked the television, threw a book at the wall and collapsed in his seat in a miserable heap. I sat, numbed with shock. And so, there we were at two in the morning on a black Saturday night, desolate, alone yet joined in our despair. It just figured. Anne Louise Genest 80 Breath of a City As the noonday sun begins to fall, the once hushed city becomes disturbed. I walk along the promenade when a single car drives by my side. I take but another step when another vehicle passes by. Soon, the narrow boulevard becomes a multitude of never-ending shapes. The clamour of the piercing horns rings unpleasant in my now swelling ears. Fresh air grows thin as the exhaust brushes across my face. My body now soiled with a vile storm of murky filth, I resemble a sordid distaste. When evening comes, the lonely lane which I walked is no longer all atwitter. The lamps are lit and the stillness of the night is muted into slumber. Alison Dalglish Winter Wonder There is a blanket of snow, lying on the ground. The winter day was peaceful with quietness all around. Except for the lonely, little pine trees, with their boughs and branches, swaying in the breeze. The old grey pond, was frozen over. No more flowers, no more clover. The only thing left, was the snow on the ground. And the winter day was peaceful, with quietness all around.

The mouth twinges downwards trying to suppress the bubble and surge of laughter - But only for an instant, for it is impossible. The edges turn upwards, a bright flash of teeth, the smile dominates: a wonderful miracle never appreciated enough. Laura Loewen New York There is a knock on my door. Mummy enters the hotel room and tells us to dress quickly. Our grandfather is dead. I shower and change in a daze. Without thinking I wash my hair. When I walk out of the bathroom, my mother is angry at me for washing my hair because the plane leaves Laguardia in forty-five minutes and I won ' t have time to dry it. I walk past her and start to brush my tangled hair. She leaves and I dress silently. I don ' t have any clothes for a funeral - I guess it doesn ' t really matter anyway. There is another knock and we leave the room with our bags. The doorman opens the door and we go out into the chilly New York dawn. Daddy whistles for a checker cab. He knows Mummy doesn ' t like checker cabs because of the springs but it isn ' t important. Mummy says nothing. I stare out the window and think what a sad memory to have of New York. I ' ve never been to a funeral so I don ' t really know what to expect. Suddenly the cab jolts to a stop and the driver curses. I turn my gaze forward. There is a car smashed into a bus halfway through the intersection ahead. My father is convincing the cabbie to go on to our flight and return later. We continue to the airport. The sun is shining. I return to staring out the window. I am confused. How should I feel? In the distance I can hear my parents ' voices talking about the accident. Daddy asks me if I saw it. I shake my head in reply. I was numb. As we go over the bridge my heart hurts with pain for the loss of my grand- father. I want to cry but I can ' t. If only I had known there were so many things I wanted to say. I wonder if my mother cried when she spoke to my grandmother. I hope she is okay. She seems so calm. The cab stops and we get out. Daddy wishes to check in. We follow with the bags. The sun does little to lift my spirits as we enter the airport. S.M.

Why doesn ' t that lady shut her kid up? It keeps wailing and its nose is dripping. Oh no, here it comes - Yonge. Thirty million people just crashed into my Mother ' s Day present and some guy is blowing smoke in my face. I wanted to scream Hey you, don ' t you know that ' s illegal? Something holds me back. I suppose it is the fat lady standing on my foot. Here comes that man with the bomb again, pushing through the crowd. I think he ' s going to set it off at the next stop. It doesn ' t matter. This is my station. I leave behind me the wailing child and the fat lady, to the man with the bomb, and go on my way.

SEniDR PRIEE ESSflV LETTERS Sept. 5, 1981 Dear Grandma, We are all settled into our new home at last. All the furniture from our old house has been placed in various rooms and we have begun our daily routines. I was really mad at first because John got the attic and I ' ve always wanted to have a bedroom in the attic. Instead, I was put in the front room right across the hall from my parents ' bedroom. I wish I could have been hidden away somewhere where no one could find me. The new house also has backstairs which I thought would be really neat, but they ' re not winding ones, so I guess they ' re not that special. The area we are living in is very nice but the school I ' m going to is kind of ordinary. The Kids are nice there, but I find them very hard to talk to. Grandma, I hope you are well. I think a lot about our old home and I wonder what my friends are doing. I think I ' ll go now because I ' ve written many letters today and my hand is pooped out, as mum would say. All my love, Brittany P.S.: Hope to see you soon! Sept. 15, 1981 Dear Brittany, Thank you very much for your letter. You write very well for a girl your age. Last night I had the ladies in for a game of Bridge. It galls me so much when one of them sneezes and fails to put her hand in front of her mouth. You ' d think they were all brought up in a pigsty. I swear I will never have chicken again because I really cannot tolerate to see people eating with their fingers; it is just deplorable. Other than that the Bridge game went quite well, though Hazel bickers incessantly about what to bid. Brit dear, I was wondering if you and your family might like to come down for Christmas and see some of your old friends. I ' m sure your mother and father would like to get together with their old cronies. There are always heaps of snow around Christmas time down Murray Park Hill. I must tell you that my African violet is blooming like fury and oh, the kettle is boiling. Must go now, my love. Grandma Oct. 3, 1981 Dear Grandma, Last week we celebrated John ' s birth- day. He ' s now thirteen years old. He made the basketball team in school, probably because he ' s so tall. I know he doesn ' t like school though, because he never works. I hate studying too, and that worries me some. I hope you ' re feeling better after that nasty cold you caught. I really hope I don ' t get sick because if I do I might have to have my tonsils taken out like John did. He couldn ' t talk for a week. He got to eat lots of ice cream. John was given a puppy for his birthday. We call the puppy Jack-in- the-box because he came out of a box but we call him Jack for short. Jack gets two walks a day and he loves to play with plastic toys. I ' m really excited about coming to your place for Christmas. I ' ve written some of my old friends and we ' re getting together for a party. School is going quite well and I ' ve made a few friends but they ' re really different from my old ones. Mum and dad said they ' d bring the plum pudding. I just had my hair cut, but I don ' t want to talk about it because it ' s too short. Love, Brit Oct. 11, 1981 Dear Brittany, I had just finished some ironing when the mail came and I received your letter. The mail is so slow these days, probably because of the unions. I ' ve never ap- proved of socialism and I never will. People rely on the government too much these days. During the depression a man would rather have sold his soul than ac- cept unemployment insurance but today people think nothing of accepting charity. Your Grandfather worked very hard to support his family and when there was no money in the house for potatoes we had dumplings instead. I ' m only telling you this so you ' ll always be proud to be a Stedman. It ' s a fine name and I ' m sure you and your brother will always live up to it. These past few days I ' ve been baking some bread and cookies to freeze so that when you come for Christmas the food will be ready for you. Last night I sat on the porch and watched the sun set. It was so beautiful I decided to sketch it but my hands are all gnarled and it ' s quite painful to move them. I shouldn ' t be telling you this, but I feel you ' re old enough to understand. I hear from your father that your grades in school are quite good. You should try out for the swim team because you always swam so beautifully. Be a good girl! Love, Grandma Nov. 2, 1981 Dear Grandma, I am so mad. John took one of my records, well actually I leant it to him but now he says I gave it to him. That is ab- solutely not true! I said he could borrow it but I didn ' t say he could have it. Another thing is, he never helps with the dishes. Whenever mum and dad go out and they say that we ' re both supposed to do them John never helps, so I have to do them. What a creep! I ' m taking piano lessons because mum thinks that it would be beautiful to be able to sit at a piano and just start playing. Practising gives me ulcers but of course mum will never believe that. I started crying once because I didn ' t know how to play one of the pieces. My teacher makes me learn Bach and Beethoven. That woman lives in the past. The only good thing that ' s happened lately is that I ' m doing a play in school and I have to hug one of the boys in it. He ' s really cute and I ' ve had a crush on him for a long time. My best friend thinks he ' s a male chauvinist but I think he ' s just cool and collected, which is the way I like them. I felt really sorry for this kid in school because he ' s kind of slow and he ' s really small and some of the boys hung him up by his belt in the locker room. Even though Jack is John ' s dog I have to go walk him! It figures doesn ' t it? Love, Brittany 84 Nov. 27, 1981 Dear Brit, How are you doing? By the sounds of your last letter you have a whole household to take care of. I ' m sure the burdens of homemaking are placing a great strain on your frame but I cannot believe that playing the piano gives you ulcers. Why don ' t you tell your mother that you ' d rather play the guitar or something a little more in your line? I ' m sorry I haven ' t written for a while but this darned cough has left me very unenergetic and the doctor has told me to stay in bed for a while. I now have a young girl come in and clean up but I have an invasion of privacy. There is great pride in cleaning and caring for your own possessions. Once you have married you will find that out. I have to laugh though, because once I left my teeth on the bed and when the girl came in to straighten the bed up she almost hit the roof. An old friend of my husband ' s, your grandfather, came in the other day. His name is Bob Hanley. He was always a well dressed man and he attended church every Sunday, rain or shine. He brought me some flowers. I can ' t tell what they are, but they ' re beautiful. Anyway, just thought I ' d scratch off a quick note. Take Care. Love, Grandma Nov. 29, 1981 Dear Grandma, This is the last letter I ' ll ever write you. I just want you to know that I appreciated your patience with me and I hope that I will be just as needed by my grandchildren as I needed you. It was silly of me but I cried last night hearing that you were gone, but I promise I won ' t cry at the funeral because I know you never liked that sort of thing. I ' m only sorry that we didn ' t get to spend Christmas with you but I know you ' ll be with us in spirit. John ' s still intolerable, that ' s a new word I learnt in school, and Jack pees all over the place. Mum and dad lost their curling game on Saturday but they like it because it ' s such a gentleman ' s sport. I have to write an essay for my teacher on anything I want, so I think I ' ll discuss the pleasures of playing the piano. I just thougfit I ' d keep you informed on my activities and tell you that I love you. Brittany OXOX By Karen Stilwell Essay written in two hours under examination conditions.

I knew I was accepted the first week when I was attacked by thirty girls; it was all out of fun, (I think). I ' ve met a whole bunch of friends this past year over at the J.S., that I ' ll remember for the rest of my life, though I won ' t remember ALL the names. I have memories of bruises from Red Rover and stickers from the AMAZING sticker collections. The Junior School girls helped make my job fun because of their spirit. Hayley needs a big thanks for helping me and also the Clan Chieftains and subs for being the BEST spirit prompters of the school. I also thank Miss Brough, Mrs. Hay and Mrs. Cheeseman. Lots of love, Julie Dear Jr. School; Thanks for all the fun times we have spent together. I en- joyed coming over to your prayers once a week and playing games with you at lunch. It ' s nice to be with people my own height again. (Julie is far too tall for the job!). Good Tuck next year, I will miss you all. Thanks to all the teachers. Love, Heather 15 Julie miSS BRDUGH Our thanks to many people who worked hard during the summer in order that Sherborne House would be ready for the opening day in September. The renovations and decor are just beautiful. Sherborne houses the junior residence and the primary department. Behind the house is our playground equipment. I can highly recommend the big slide - I still have the bruise on my knee to prove it! We have had a very good year. The variety of activities offered has been excellent and well attended. We are proud of our school teams. Clan games were exciting and great fun. To all of you from all of us, a big thank you for making this year a success. Dorothy Brough and Jr. School Staff HflVLEV I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole Junior School for participating in the wide variety of sports and activities offered this year. Everybody helped me tremendously and without the help of the chieftains, sub-chieftains, teachers and especially Mrs. Cheeseman, I would never have been able to do my job. The prefects also did a wonderful job this year in planning a whole range of fun and exciting events. As you can see, this year has been fabulous! Keep up with the warm spirit, Branksome! See you soon, Hayley JR. SCHOOL CLfln CHiEFTftinS We had a terrific year and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We may not have won all our games but our spirit kept us strong. Good luck next year to the new chieftain and new sub- chieftain. Thanks for a super year. Martha, Becky Fraser We have had a fantastic year which was full of fun, excitement and participation. We thank everyone on Bruce for making us what we are - THE BEST! A special thanks to all our budding athletes who came to our games and also to all our enthusiastic cheerers. Thank you for being such a terrific clan and making this year a memorable one. We hope you enjoy your summer and remember we have been the best and we will continue to be so. Gigi, Daphne Bruce Thanks, Grant, for being such an enthusiastic clan this year. We had a great time and we hope you did too. Your par- ticipation was incredible and your effort was outstanding. We hope you have as much fun in the years to come. Just a reminder; keep your socks up and your oxfords shined. Love M.J. and Colleen Grant Congratulations Robertson, for doing so well in all of the school sports. Your spirit and enthusiasm are terrific and the participation in clan games and contests is great. You really tried hard and succeeded in making this year number one. Keep it up in the years to follow! Sincerely, Fiona, Christina Robertson Thanks very much for a terrific year. You were really en- thusiastic and your participation was amazing. We know we were all too modest but the entire year we were the best and we ' re sure we ' ll continue to be the best. We hope you had a great and noisy year. Jill, Heather Johnston Attention all Duncanites! Thanks for a year full of spirit and fun; some games we have lost, but we really have won. You ' ve been the best of the clans over here - Next year ' s chieftains will have nothing to fear! Keep up the good work, let it last through the years, and next year, from the Senior School, we ' ll still send good luck cheers! Thanks.

Thanks everybody, especially Mrs. Willingham, for making this Choir year such a success. Nicky and I had no trouble with people coming to practices which also helped a lot. I want to thank everyone in the choir for singing so well in the Carol Service. We were all worried that we would not do well, but I had many compliments from teachers and parents saying how well you all did. I am so pleased! Thanks again for so much, Miranda de Pencier. mflDRlGflL GROUP Whether we were flat or sharp, Mrs. Willingham always put up with the 1981- ' 82 Madrigal Group. She had a few more singers than usual but all in good tune and cheer. Meeting every week at 12:30 was lots of fun and Mrs. Willingham always seemed to have a trick or two up her sleeve that would make us giggle and start us off on the right note. I would like to congratulate all Grade 8 Madrigal singers and to give a special thanks to Mrs. Willingham, without whom this group of talented singers wouldn ' t have been possible (Or as good!).

The Debating Club this year was quite a success. Attendance was excellent, and everyone participated wholeheartedly. Our topics this year ranged from the traditional red is better than blue to an intriguing and controversial should the Carol Service be abolished?! Both sides of all our debates were represented quite convincingly. Debates against the Senior School and other schools were fun and interesting and they helped to season us as debators. Mrs. Hollenberg, Mrs. Hay, and Mrs. Provan helped us in many ways. They straightened us out on various grammatical and debating errors and coached us in our discussions. At the beginning of First Term, we were an inexperienced bunch, but now the Debating Club is a group of confident, capable debators. It was a really great year!

This year the Library Club has been a marvellous one. Thanks to Alexandra, Samantha, Sloan, and Andra for all their help. The Junior School library has been kept in tip top shape. The members have worked every morning, lunch hour and after school. All members have been working together to accomplish these various duties: Book shelving, date-due card stamping, carding, and tidying shelves. Although the group may seem small it is a super one. With the help from Mrs. Hollenberg, this year ' s club has been a most hard working and superb one. With the new calendar-clue program the library club has more to do than ever. Fortunately we are coping with it well. Keep up the great work! Jackie Sanz flCTlVlTlEE AND BPEClflL TlfTlEE BETA hftPPfl Dancing is wonderful training for girls. It ' s the first way you learn what a man is going to do before he actually does it. Christopher Morley. Many of the Branksomites thought this training worthy of pursuit! We began with the Ramabai Rout. A very large number of people attended this open costume dance and we were able to make generous contributions to the Opheleo Society. Buses were arranged throughout the year to S.A.C., T.C.S. and Lakefield. We appreciated the generous donations of time by senior students, staff and housemothers who acted as chaperones. The Formal was at the Rosedale Golf Club on March 5. Mrs. Shaver - staff advisor, - Kathryn Buleychuk - vice-pres., - Carol Brebner and Mary Gayner made all of this possible. Beta Kappa is truly one activity in which everyone in the school can become involved. In the words of Lewis Carroll: Will you, won ' t you, will you, won ' t you, will you join the dance? Julee Robertson, President Top Right: Kathryn Buleychuk, Mary Gayner, Carol Brebner, Julee Robertson. Facing: Beta Kappa. □PHELED Well, now we know they didn ' t just join for the Reese ' s Peanut Butter Cups! The success of the Opheleo Society has been due to the hard work and creative imaginations of all involved. Canvassing for the United Way had a very good response as did the Raffle Ticket sale to raise money for the Mentally Retarded Association. No father was able to escape our ticket selling talents at the Father-Daughter Dance. We raised $2030 during Ramabai Week, making this year our best show ever. The Grade 12 ' s raised the most money with their chocolate chip cookie sale and grub day. Of course, no one could resist the chocolate-covered almonds and peanut butter cups we sold! Christmas caroling expeditions to Fudger Home and Bellmont House helped brighten the lives of our Senior citizens. In the spring, we sold roses for the Heart Fund and car- nations for the M.S. Society. It was an excellent year for the Society thanks to the executive, Lili Hollinrake - vice-pres. and my right hand woman - and to Mrs. Davidovac for her help and support as staff advisor.

This weekend was filled with great memories and fun and games and, of course, loads of work. Then came the Carol Service, a service we all slaved for. But . . . this work was well worth it! However, none of this would have been possible without the expertise of Mr. Jordan, our well-loved and respected Choir Master and without our Secretary- Treasurer, Barb Ward, whose helpful hand saved us from many catastrophes. Well, this has been a very memorable year for me as I know it has been for you. We ' ll lose some of our fellow singers, but irreplaceable as they are, next year I ' m sure there will be many who are just dying to join. Keep up the good work and Keep Reaching for The Stars! Your Choir President: Kim Cramer. flJi?i .J ' ' SK)30|iMHC it)nm LL COOLS Last year (and it was about time) a group of determined girls got together and formed the Music Club. Finally, we have what we can honestly say is a permanent and successful organization. Throughout the year, we did have a few set backs, though, like keeping in tune (still flat) or trying to convince the work- men that we were in the portables legally. Memorable words of wisdom could be heard coming from the portables during our Thursday meetings such as: We need more stuff for the Music Show, Heather, do you want to do something in prayers - AGAIN? That ' s fantastic Dianne! We need more Classical Music, Who plays the drums, or the old standby announcement: Anyone who has a drop of musical talent ... But still, we were successful! Many thanks to Mrs. Strangway and Mr. Jordan for their help in the music show (which we hope will become a tradition). Good luck to the Music Club in the future and hopes that it will herinafter flourish and abound. Christie Baillie and Cynthia Swinden □ Rfimfi CLUB I find it very difficult to write about an event that has not yet taken place. This is the situation that I found myself in when I first sat down to write this piece. You, however, reading this in June, have seen the Branksome Hall extravaganza known as You Can ' t Take it With You. Therefore, I would be pleased to receive all comments on it. Send along your compliments to Post Office Box 5, Station Q, Willowdale. If you include a self- addressed stamped envelope you will receive, as an extra bonus, a Ronco patty-stacker that has been carefully em- bossed in imitation gold lettering with the autographs of the entire You Can ' t Take It With You cast. And now on to the business at hand, namely a discussion of the Drama Club of the 1981-1982 season. We knew that this year was not going to be an average one at the outset. During the fall, when Mrs. Smith left to have little Andrea Louise we were put in the capable hands of Miss Friend as well as a production team, who will not stop short of perfection. We also have an incredible set, light, and costume crew. With all these terrific people, there is no possible way for this play to fail. We have overcome some seemingly in- surmountable odds and have remained outwardly calm about the disasters. As various club members have stated, the only serious problem this year was the shortage of donuts. Julia Weinstein, Head Debating This year we ' ve tried to increase interest in Debating. We feel we ' ve accomplished our goal due to the school ' s tremendous enthusiasm. Intramural debating has provided the opportunity for the novice and inexperienced debator to be given a chance to debate. We ' ve had many successes this year, few failures; but, win or lose, we maintained high standards. We have had a large variety of people who took the opportunity to participate in tournaments. To name a few memories: Appleby, UTS, UCC, St. Clements, Havergal, TCS! !, SAC, and at home: Metros. Thanks to all the budding Betty Crockers, tenacious timers, marvelous Mme. speakers, juggling judges and of course our dynamic debaters. And special thanks must go to Mrs. Zommers, Mrs. McRae, our parents and each other, thank you, thank you. Janice and Susan, Co-Heads 110 □ EBPiTlHG THE hlLT PRESS At the beginning of first term, shortly after the completion of our Back to School Edition the four of us sat down at our first editorial meeting. With the indispensable voice of Mrs. Blake, our very own moderator, proofreader, and defender, we defined our objectives and plans for this year ' s newspaper. Among other things we decided to separate the paper into three sections: sports, comments and clans. The Editorial would be on rotation; one person would be in charge of comments, another of clans and two on sports because of its size. Probably the most noticeable change was the decision to switch the paper ' s name from the two year old Kaleidoscope to the KILT PRESS (with thanks to Mrs. McRae). At this time we also decided to provide an award for the winning clan of the school Cross-Country. Actually, running the Kilt Press was not as clear cut as it seems. It always seemed that the paper had to come out the same week that each of us had three tests and a term essay. However, we managed in spite of ' pressing academic responsibilities, ' allergic reactions, inkspills, constant cases of the munchies and one blinded eye, not to mention irate groups of grade 13 ' s, coaches and other school minority groups seething over our occasionally controversial issues. The job was not without its excitement. Besides avoiding the above mentioned lobbies, we spent our time pretending to be secretaries, learning to spell in Miss Roach ' s office and phoning the managing editor of THE GLOBE AND MAIL to settle our editorial wars. All in all it was terrific fun. Good luck to next year ' s crew! Top Left Picture: The Editors: Jill Curtis, Maggie Hermant, Wendy Buchanan, Meredith Cartwright. Staff Advisor: Mrs. A. Blake.

You ' ve been great, especially Sky and Edith, with your persuasiveness in selling books for Branksome to poor unsuspecting parents. Congratulations. Never before has the support from Grade 13 ' s for the library been so dinosauric. (I just had to put that last word in). Well, the end has come for most of you, since no longer will you be able to obtain my ever famous cookies which I only make for library meetings. Take care and keep shelving.

The Writing Club The writing club has been in existence now for a year and a half. Despite its youth, the enthusiasm and accomplishments of our Monday afternoon meetings are evident. Since we are a small group, the club is very informal and we are able to discuss and read our work out for criticism. We tried during the year to do a variety of writing, both in prose and in poetry. To broaden our knowledge, we studied the lives of writers and their works. We also invited speakers who talked to us about their work and showed us differences in styles of writing. An interesting aspect of the writing club is that we chose what we wanted to do and, for the most part, each of us had her wish. The contests we entered provided the necessary pressure for good writing and all the little exercises and practice provided the necessary skills. I hope the writing club will continue to be as worthwhile and fun a club as it was this year and will consist of an equally talented and original group. Special thanks to Mrs. Levitt for keeping us interested and for always keeping her sense of humour! Simonetta, President PHDTDGRflPHV CLUB COmPUTER CLUB Both the Photography and the Computer Clubs, the newest additions to the list of Branksome Clubs a nd headed by Mr. Ball, were intrinsic to the successful outcome of the Slogan. The Computer club complemented our theme. The Photo club contributed and developed pictures for us or, at least, provided the dark room for the use of our photographers. Special thanks to these two clubs and especially to Mr. Ball for all of his excellent pictures and advice.

Although most Alumnae work as volunteers for the Association, the workload has increased as the School itself has enlarged. The School, placing in- creasing emphasis on the importance of its Alumnae, has seen fit to hire a Secretary Co-ordinator, Dodi Robinette MacNeill ' 45, with the Alumnae supplying a part-time assistant, Norah Corrigan Mills ' 63. Their work is varied, dealing with all Alumnae activities. Their main job, however, is to keep track of the constantly moving Alumnae (more than 3200 plus our 1300 Losts), going back to the first grads of 1905. Having found them, the staff keeps them informed as to what is happening in the School and to their friends through the Alumnae Newsletter. The staff also act, with the help of their Student Year Reps., Amanda Worley and Anne Louise Genest, as liaison between the School and the Alumnae. The Alumnae staff is presently in the process of setting up a network or filing system listing the careers, volunteer experience and special interests and talents of the Alumnae so that it can be of help to Branksome when it is in need of special expertise for such occasions as this year ' s Career Day. The Alumnae Staff REPS. As student Alumnae Representatives, we act as a liaison between the school and the Alumnae. We attend monthly meetings with the Alumnae Executive at Miss Roach ' s house and we report on any school happenings and developments in school. We promote Alumnae events such as the Bazaar and the Art Show, both of which were very successful this year. We were im- pressed with how much work the Alumnae puts into the school and we realized just how much Branksome benefits. We have enjoyed working with Mrs. Read, the Alumnae President, and Mrs. MacNeill. They have been very helpful and we appreciate their support and ad- vice. Anne Louise Genest and Amanda Worley Fun, laughter, a cheerful aura and a really special person best describes Dot. Dot Seixas has had an interesting life. She spent her early life in Mexico and upon returning to Toronto, went to St. Clement ' s. In the business world Dot worked for The Bank of Nova Scotia and Brazilian Traction. Her first work with small children began at Manor Road Nursery School where Dot played the piano for Mary McFarlane Smith (old girl). Dot also played for Edith Wilkin ' s dancing classes for many years. Dot began at Branksome in January of 1943 and has given a lot of love, fun and joy to many children during her thirty-nine years in the kindergarten. For eighteen years Dot has spent afternoons working at The Toy Shop and brought to them an extensive clientele through her students, parents, grandparents and many friends. About ten years ago Dot decided she really was tired of having her name so mixed up and misspelled, so she chose a new one, Miss Sneezepickle, and there is not one student who will ever forget this special person with the special name. kUflSHincTon □UEBEC The Grade Eights set off on the Washington Trip in the middle? - of the night on Monday, November 2. After a border stop at Lewiston, New York, we headed straight for the Pennsylvania Rest Area where we had our picnic lunch. From there, we drove the rest of the way nonstop to Falls Church, Virginia. Falls Church is just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. and as we neared our Quality Inn, we had a glimpse of the capital city from across the water. Days 2 and 3 were spent touring Washington, D.C. During this time we saw the United States Capitol, the White House, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the National Archives, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Buildings and the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials. In the afternoon of Day 3 we headed for Richmond, making a stop at Mt. Vernon, the home of George Washington. All the girls were amazed by this magnificent home and the gardens were beautiful. As a final stop on Day 3, we took a tour of the Richmond State Capitol which was designed by Thomas Jefferson. Day 4 was spent in the Colonial town of Williamsburg, Va. This was especially interesting and we spent the whole day touring. We visited an old tavern, bakery, millinery shop, jail, palace and even a small schoolroom. At the end of the day, we had an hour and a half to do some shopping. All of the stores were fantastic. On Day 5 we had a lovely tour of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. This is a new stop on the Grade Eight trip thanks to Miss Healey, who ' discovered ' it this summer. We learned a lot about Thomas Jefferson. Following this we went on to Gettysburg where we took a tour of the battlefields and the city. Later that night, we went shopping at Gettysburg and saw some buildings that had been standing since the 1850 ' s. The last day was spent driving - with a brief stop in Corning. Here we could do some last minute shopping and go into the museum to view some spectacular pieces of glass craftsmanship. But the dream ended when the buses pulled up outside Sherborne House twenty minutes early. Some of us were faced with a half hour in the freezing cold, lugging around heavy and numerous pieces of our luggage for our parents! But it was an interesting and exciting end to the best Grade Eight trip ever. Thanks a lot, Mrs. Hay, for organizing the trip. We hope you, too, have some happy memories. Luv, Elizabeth Allingham The Quebec Trip The grade 7 Quebec trip was a very successful one. Everyone had fun and it was quite educational. Grade 7 went to Shelburne, Vermont and Quebec City. I thought the Fort Ticonderoga and the Shelburne Museum in Vermont were the most interesting places we visited; Fort Ticon- deroga because it had a fantastic collection of antiques. There was even a skeleton and a scalp of a person. The Shelburne museum was appealing to many students. It had collections of old dolls and precious carriages. Mothers and teachers of students came along, too. Two mothers were assigned to a group of children. The hotels grade 7 stayed in were fancy, also. In the evenings kids went out with friends to eat and shop around. The trip home was most tiring for everyone. Some students were anxious to go home and some were sad to leave. Mrs. Hay is a great tour guide and teacher. Namrita Kohli 7R9 HELU VDRHi, HELJ VDRh The New York trip consisted of Grade 12 Art, Geography and Drama students. It was certainly a trip to remember. From the dregs of the sanitation department, the unexcelled art of the Guggenheim Museum to behind the scenes of the glorious ' Radio City, ' each of us experienced New York in our own fashion. Some of the more memorable features were: The Metro, subways, Lincoln Centre, the Waldorf Astoria, good ol ' Howard Johnsons, ice cream, delis, Champale, A Night in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine, Album, A Chorus Line, The New York experience, BLOOMINGDALES, Gucci, taxis, Greenwich Village, Parsons, the statue of Liberty, no sleep, Harlem, Central Park, rain, walking . . . walking, getting LOST, Brooke Shields, Time Square, U.N., SAKS, Mama Leoni ' s, people, Fiorucci, World Trade Centre, Walkmans, and forty very tired girls on the airplane on the way home.

To each her own, the silver line in each dark cloud is shown. In times of need, in times of love and war, those doors just opened wide and healed the sore. A boundless field of flowers, true blue forget-me-nots: The mind, the soul, the heart, the words mean lots. The future brings to you as you have done, true friends, bright dreams and always lots of fun. ' Bye - Sal.
