SPORTS ' DAY It was a time to relax and sprawl across the newly green grass which swathed the lower field. The season was still quite cool so the unathletic majority huddled in their sweaters and thin jackets while those of a more sporting disposition fiercely defied the cold in shorts and assorted colourful shirts. hall-day of freedom lolled about on the grass signing yearbooks, talking, or lazily watching the events. Needless to say, the day was not filled with any spectacular revelations. Darcy Bett and Carol Hood swept up most of the honours. The three- legged race was the most popular in terms of participating contestants. The serious competitors limbered and stretched their muscles, twisting and lunging in order to give their best performance and perhaps win an honour at the upcoming Prize Day. Those who simply wished to linger over the sweet Sports ' Day is one of the highlights of the school year - the beginning of spring, the winding up the last school term and a chance for the athletes to test their strides and the spectators to conserve theirs. m 5a . hay 1 AOrUT TVvIO 12

MOOSONEE Leaving the snow in Toronto, we headed north in search of even colder weather. We were shocked to find that when the train stopped in Cochrane, our hair turned white and the hair in our noses stuck together when we breathed in. Our second train, the Polar Bear Express, took us to Moosonee. We spent our stay visiting many interesting places which included: the weather station, the police headquarters, a high school, an art studio, a museum and finally we crossed the ice at the tip of James Bay to visit Moose Factory Island. We all had an enjoyable trip. Mrs. Gray saw some interesting birds, Mrs. Simpson - some art, Mr. Ball - his old students, and the rest of us - a chance to see a different way of living. - Hayley Av Ruskin MOOSONEE GATEWAY TO THE ARCT IC hUPERT HOUSE CAPE JONES FORT GEORGE FORT ALBANY 4 ' ' «WAPISKAT f BEAR PARK ■ ■ ■UK 85 265 200 90 !50 265 650 350 415 MILES MILES MILES MILES MILES MILES MILES MILES MILES SPRING CONCERT This year ' s Evening of the Arts was approached quite differently. The events were divided into two nights. On one evening the fashion and synchro shows were held and a week or two later the art show and Spring Concert took place. On May 17th, the evening began with a dessert party given for the Grade Thirteen classes. Immediately af- terwards the guests went to Rosedale Presbyterian Church where the Senior and Chamber Choirs performed a lovely program which included solos by Christel Helwig, Ainsley Moore, Barbara Ward and Jennifer Wilkes. At the end of the concert everyone was invited back to Branksome to see the Art Show. The entire evening was a wonderful success. Many thanks must be given to those who worked so hard to put it together.

ARTS ' FESTIVAL The Arts ' Festival was once again a tremendous success. The Fashion Show was produced solely by the Grade 12s and was delightful. The Synchro Show included routines performed by girls from both the Junior and Senior schools. Many thanks and much appreciation must be given to those involved. GRADUATION Despite dismal forecasts, the day of the Senior Graduation could not have been more beautiful. Janice Loudon gave a very touching and inspiring valedictory speech. After the ceremony the grads, students and guests retired to the traditional garden party where popsicles and brownies were abundant.
