Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Page 20 text:

HEAD GIRL AND PREFECTS The best traditions are those which are flexible and operate within a framework which allows room for change. Branksome is such a tradition. Every year is unique, each class contributing new ideas to Branksome life. The school is continually growing and expanding. But that certain something which makes Branksome special to each student, the essence of school life, is always and will always be there. I have been continually amazed by the in- novative, and at times unconventional projects that have been successfully undertaken by enterprising girls. Their vitality has often inspired the whole school ' s enthusiasm and participation. This year ' s turn-out at the Father- Daughter Dance was so large that there was hardly room in the gym. People certainly did come as they weren ' t to the Rout and we witnessed the in- spiring talents of Miss Sesqui during February ' s Spirit Week. The Prefects are certainly a varied group of individuals. Some are wild and impulsive and others more serious, but all were always full of vitality. Should the icing be vanilla, chocolate or green? I underwent another metamorphasis. I became a boarder this year. It comes s ometimes as a tremendous surprise to outsiders to learn that the hallowed halls of Branksome Hall are inhabited by a small but significant population of students who reside on campus. I realized how close-knit the boarding life can be; the loyalty, the comradeship and most importantly, the fun. I am glad the daygirl - boarder exchange has enabled other students to try something new. Remember: Rowdy Ribb Ribbit Rocks! ! Thank you, Branksome Laura Plus ca change, plus c ' est la meme chose.
