Intramural Sports is the elaborate name for the clan system. 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

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.
