Branksome Hall - Slogan Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 162 of the 1985 volume:

! SLOGAN 1985 Branksome Hall 10 Elm Avenue Toronto, Ontario As I contemplated what to write for this editorial, many things came to mind. I wondered whether I should try to be funny or serious. Should I stick to the old cliches or bless you all with words of wisdom? I even had my doubts as to whether people take the time to read the editorial each year. However, I shall have confidence that they do. Although the editorial is supposed to introduce the book, I ' m quite sure that when one first receives the yearbook there is a mad search for pictures of oneself, and so it should be. Everyone wants to see her picture and know that she helped to shape some part of the life at Branksome and know that she can look back in years to come and remember how she was at this particular time in life. This is the whole purpose of the yearbook, to make one feel a part of the school and to help bring back memories both good and bad. I feel that this year ' s yearbook ac- complishes these things. The first thing you must have noticed when you received SLOGAN ' 85 was the return to the hard cover. We of the staff felt that this would be something appreciated by the entire student body. It makes the yearbook into a more solid collection of facts, faces, events and memories. The silhouettes on the inside cover (also found on the wall outside the senior school library) help to symbolize the fact that the yearbook is for everyone in the school. As you read through SLOGAN ' 85, try to remember how much work was put into the production of this book. Many hours of work, meetings and sleepless nights helped to make SLOGAN ' 85 possible. Try to look beyond the pictures and writing and look at the actual layouts. Our talented layout editor put a lot of thought and many late nights (one in particular) to get everything completed on time. Special thanks should go to Mrs. MacGregor for all her help, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Roe and all the other editors. I hope you enjoy this year ' s SLOGAN and as the sun sets over the cafeteria I bid you all adieu.

MacGregor ADVERTISING ADVISOR Mrs. A. Gray LITERARY ADVISOR Mrs. M. Roe Miss Roach and Patricia My association with this busy and productive school continues to be a great source of pleasure for me. I admire the energy, time and care that so many people give and I share in the considerable satisfaction of each job well done, from old girl Charlotte Graham ' s gourmet cooking demonstration to the parents ' Nifty Fifties Dance, from the student run Music Club concert to the Board ' s careful attention to Branksome ' s future growth, particularly in the areas of computer studies, career counselling and new facilities. There have been many other high points this — the Senior School ' s production of SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR and the Junior School ' s AS YOU LIKE IT, the Carol Service, certainly one of the best ever, and, of course, HELLO DOLLY. Branksome is par- ticularly indebted to old girl Sandra Smythe for this production. Sandra has returned to Branksome for several years to direct musicals, each one more ambitious than the year before. But the list is long -- the Father-Daughter Dance, our two Debating Tournaments and Public Speaking Competition, the Fashion Show and Spring Concerts, our triumphant swimming, ski and volleyball teams. Careers Day, Science Day, the many enjoyable clan activities, all of which our Yearbook reflects. To all who have worked so hard to achieve this varied success, my sincere thanks. You have provided learning beyond the classroom which is the main object of extra-curricular activities and have given pleasure to us all. Goodwill and kindness have always been a large part of Branksome but never more appreciated than by me this year. Allison Roach This year has been such an un- forgettable experience for me. During all my time at Branksome I have learned so much. I ' m sure I cannot think of a nicer place to go to school. Boarding has been unique. Talking to all those people from so many different parts of the world and learning about their cultures have all been so special. I know my memories from this country and from my school will remain with me. I wish I could thank all the people that have helped make my life here happy, but they are so many. I hope that everybody is as satisfied as I am of her achievements here and that when she leaves Branksome to face life she will remember all that she has learned here. As some of you might have noticed, long speeches and long write-ups are not typical of me, but the little I do say is sincere. I think Canada is a wonderful country and I have met wonderful friends here. I hope I can keep in touch with all of them. I wish everybody good luck always and I thank you for allowing me to be head girl of my school.

The year started out traditionally with murderball, but the new clan T- shirts and the new clan cheers added a lot to the exciting games. Hawaiian survival was fantastic although not too many people managed to get enough pina coladas to survive. Goodminton, a new clan sport this year, provided a lot of laughs while basketball ended with some very competitive finals. Halloween-A- Grams which were delivered by the chieftains to the boy ' s schools, raised eighty dollars. The clan run, the spelling bee and the murderball game with B.S.S. were all well supported and a lot of fun. This year, the Christmas clan lunches replaced the usual gathering. All those who par- ticipated received a delicious meal and were full to the brim when afternoon classes began. In second term we kept busy with drama, indoor soccer, trivial pursuit, tennis and many other great events. We hope you had a fun year. Have a great summer.

I agree with the girls that the whole trip was of great educational value, and the Shelburne Museum is one of the most interesting places to visit. So much to do, so much to see all in one day! This year we have added to our already lengthy list of extra-curricular activities: a non-bake cooking club, painting on silk, stencilling, jazz dancing; and, under the direction of Miss Wendy Wren, drama and puppetry are alive and flourishing in Grades 1 to 6. April, May and June were three months of activity and excitement: The Independent Schools Music Festival, The Grade 8 trip to Washington, the Spring Concerts, the Grade 7 8 drama club production of As You Like It , Sports Day and, of course, final examinations! We have had a first happening . Eighteen Grade 7 students spent a week at the Nashoba Brooks school in Concord, Mass., and our new friends returned to spend several days with us. We are very excited about this exchange programme and hope that it will continue in future years. Thank you staff, students and parents. Your support and co-operation have made this a happy and successful year. DOROTHY J. BROUGH Staff STAFF MEMBERS: Back Row: Mrs. Clare, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Tasker, Mrs. Tollerton, Miss Wren.

And many people shivered with a Frown. The wind whistled through people ears. And the sting of the cold brought tears. But once inside, the cold was gone And all the wind that had blown so long. It all happened on a cold November night. Brenda Welsh Grade 8r3 22 RANfoONLW Brofisome] Erar)ksane You are my sunshtnQ It is because of you I bloom tcich elds I loi e you 5 0 ! The Fairy Dance The baby deer danced, Upon his bed of dew, While the fairies played their woodpipes With little snow-white hands. In a little glade of silver trees The fairy dance went on. But then upon the nighttime sky Came the silken pink of dawn. And then the dance was over; The deer was left alone, And in the misty morning light, He heard the fairies moan.

Welcome to the annual MacNeill Slogan write-up. I ' m Erin, your hostess for the duration of this write-up. I ' m also Mac ' s house Pres. This is Lindsay, my second in command. I ' d like to introduce you to the inhabitants of Mac. You ' ll find them a unique collection of great girls! I ' ll start with the house celebrities. Paty, she ' s Head Girl. Melinda is the head of residence. Candace, she ' s head of drama. Then there ' s Nancy the popcorn, pizza and patio party pigout queen 1984. Mac also has a small collection of West Indians: Mala, Julie, Gillian, Sian (pronounced Shhh-onn). Amongst them is an aspiring Trini, Beatty, who is also one of three Jennifers. A mini china-town is also found within the corridors of Mac. Eva and Melissa, well, needless to say, they ' ll be found on the telephone. Susanna, Jeanette and Bonnie make regular Saturday trips to Chinese movies or shopping in rather chic stores. Then there ' s Connie, she spends her extra time watching music videos. There are two more Jennifers: Priest, a future politician. You know what I mean? McCulloch, she ' s looking for some one to help her out. Dude! Also, we have only one Barb (thank heaven!). Sometime in the near future she ' ll be somewhere between tryouts for the Harlem Globe Trotters or on the cover of Vogue. Cathy, she ' s a new girl who asks a lot of questions. Shuna is an old day girl and a new boarder who knows all the answers. Here ' s Lynn, Lynn ' s not quite sure who you donate blood to. Marina, she knows but she just wanted to order pizza! ! ! Chris and Laura reside in the resident jungle! Jessica lives in a foreign desert. Karin lives in the woods, but only on selected weekends! (She has a wonderful relationship with a certain weekend rule!). Last but not least I ' d like to introduce you to Dawn. Dawn, well she ' s Dawn. Should you ever have any question about who ' s on duty call out for Mrs. D? (we do), one of them will answer. Mac. is a great house this year. So big deal if we have a messy kitchen and our laundry room is a disaster area! We can deal with it! Even door duty and study aren ' t that bad! (ha, ha, wo ' s kidding who?). We have a great time!

SPRING Many of the usual events hap- pened in the spring of 1984, but for many, including myself, it was not a run of the mill term. At the beginning of March, we had the formal at the Boulevard Club. It was an eventful evening and everyone was out having as much fun as they could. After the March-break, the season continued. The soccer, tennis, track and baseball teams were formed. The Prize Essay was written (the usual challenge!), the grade 12 ' s organized the Straw, and the musical, Anne of Green- Gables, polished up its act(s). for its performance. It was a definite success. The Spring Concert was held at Grace Church on the hill. Branksome ' s and U.C.C. ' s choirs sang magnificently. At the Arts Festival, our synchro team 82 put on a commendable per- formance and the Fashion Show was the usual treat. Sports day was at the end of May after the Private School Challenge. Branksome lost its title of 2 years to St. Clements. We were in the lead for most of the race but due to circumstances beyond our control we slipped to second. The clan awards night was a fun finale. The panzerottos were great and the awards were fairly hilarious. On June 14, we said good-bye to the class of ' 84 and we gave the summer holidays a warm welcome. It was definitely a well needed vacation. THE CLANS ON THE RUN • • 9 Although the clan system plays a large role in the life of Branksome, few students know very much about the clan on which they have been placed. Here is a brief bit of information on each of the senior school clans. Campbell warcry — Cruachan. No clan has ever aroused stronger passions than the Campbells. Ross The fortunes of the Rosses were founded on their ability in different generations to sense the mood of the times and align themselves. MacLeod motto -- hold fast. The MacLeods are of Norse origin, descended from Olav the Black, king of man and the Isles from 1225 to 1237. MacLean warcry -- Life or death They were a populous and thriving clan, notable for the colourful legends surrounding them. MacGregor Since several generations were forbid- den to call themselves MacGregor many unrecognised descendants of the clan flourish today, dispers ed at home and abroad under inherited pseudonyms. Douglas On every page of Scotland ' s story The Douglases feature grandly - Black and red, heroes and villains, they are always there. Scott In early times the name ' Scot ' was almost a title, restricted to men of high birth -- a nephew of King William the lion, for example, was so styled. It is from one such distinguished individual that the clan Scott descends. McAlpine The history of McAlpine is uncertain and very il- lusive. Taken from: HOME- LANDS OF THE CLANS, by Gerald Warner. Collins London Glasgow. 1980 84 FIRST TERM Father Daughter Dance The seventh annual Father-Daughter dance was held on Friday November 30. It was a blast, as usual, with fathers and daughters filling the gym. The black and white theme of the dance was popular and it seemed that this year had the best turnout ever. People danced all night long but the floor space was limited. The Russocki ' s dominated the dance contests but awards were also won by Mr. Brad- shaw and Robin, Danielle Perron, Lindsay Shaw and Sloane Moran, Shuna Baird and Mr. Baird, and Allison McLeod and her father. The bird dance, the time warp and the twist were the all time favourites. Thanks, prefects. See everybody next year. The Old Girls Game On Friday November 2, the arrival of the familiar, smiling faces of last year ' s grads was anticipated. The grade 11 ' s were busy with the organization of the entertainment that was to amuse the grade 13 ' s, the teachers, the grads and others in the audience. All went well as the evening was full of laughs and good humour. The volleyball game was a success as the grads and this year ' s grade 13 ' s mixed together playing a friendly game of volleyball. We ' d like to thank the grade 11 ' s for bringing the Partridge family and Family Feud to Branksome Hall. Richard Dawson, you were great! Thanks for all your hard work and effort. The Grade Prefects 87 Have you seen my mother? The Mother-Daughter tea was held on September 19 and for the first time ever took place on the new quadrangle outside the Science wing. Mothers, daughters, and teachers milled around, chatting, eating, and basking in the sun which brightened the whole scene. Certain girls were seen to be frantically searching for their misplaced mothers, but eventually they located the maternal parents, and joyous reunions followed. Grade nine initiation One day in the last week of September one hundred and five gr ade nines were initiated. The whole grade met at 8:00 in the morning for muffins and orange juice. Then came the real initiation. Big 9 ' s were written on their faces with lipstick. Every time they saw a prefect in the halls they had to lie down on their backs and wiggle around and say, I was lower than the lowest worm in the lowest hole but now I ' m a privileged grade nine. Then they walked away like a duck. At noon the grade nines met on the tennis courts for a silent lunch. If someone talked they were squirted in the face by the Prefects. It turned into a huge water fight - one hundred and five grade nines against ten prefects. We got pretty wet but it was worth it to see the niners wiggle on the ground! Caroline Kitchen SECOND TERM ■ Scienc ay 1 91 Laurie and Tori Laurie Nichols -- Sports Captain Insane . Is there a more appropriate word to describe people who drag themselves out of bed an hour earlier than necessary or stay for ninety minutes after the 3:30 bell rings - sacrificing the Young and the Restless ? And what gala event attracts these girls to the Branksome gymnasium or fields? As odd as it seems, these girls are spending gruelling hours training for their school teams. It is not easy work; running laps, skipping rope, attempting push-ups, shooting, spiking, smashing, bunting, diving and many other skills are a tiny sample of their en- deavours. Perhaps these girls are not really insane, for their commitment and determination are rarely unnoticed. From the volleyball court to the cross-country field, the athletes compete, not only with local rivals but also at the TDCAA and OFSSA levels as well. The enthusiasm of friends, coaches and fans is amazing at all levels of competition and their support makes all members proud to be on a Branksome team. This pride is natural and well-deserved, as the Branksome teams are always outstanding. Our victories range from the swimming pool - winning the Bishop ' s Cup - to the ski hills where our skiers placed second in the OFSSA finals. Although there were a few occasions when our teams were not triumphant, they were always successful. This success was displayed by their sweating faces, tired limbs and disappointed - but - smiling faces. The abundance of talent, enthusiasm and dedication of all those involved with the Br anksome sports program has, once again, brought about a very enjoyable and successful year. Laurie Nichols Tori Hackett - Intramural clan and worn at the sporting events. Clan homerooms each Wednesday kept everyone in- formed with what was happening in the clan world. The Christmas lunches were one of the biggest successes of the year. Each person made a yummy, delectable lunch for her partner and at lunch hour the lunches were exchanged. Challenges are thought up in clan homeroom. Some of these were floor hockey, pie-eating contests and tug-of-war. Cheers were made up to rouse spirit at the sports events. Clans continue to thrive at Branksome this year. Many traditional events were continued, as well new ideas were introduced. Clan t- shirts were designed by each The final clan gathering showed tons of en- thusiasm. Thanks to all the chiefs who made my job so enjoyable. You were super. Good luck to the Clans next year. Tori 94 1 6 ' s Baseball Pow! Darcy Bett slugs yet another baseball into the bushes for another home run. The Havergal outfielders scramble to find the ball while Darcy jogs around the plates. Playing on the 1984 16 ' s baseball team was an experience to be remembered. Again, as in previous years, Mrs Shaver was our coach (she received help from Jennifer and Mark). We had quite a few games against B.S.S., St. Clements, Havergal and T.F.S. In one of our games against Havergal I recall that our regular pitcher was away so I tried the position -- definitely a short lived position. I was relieved by Laurie Nichols. I returned to outfield with Maria Soriano and Heather Massey. We were a competitive team, but everyone had a great sense of humour and made being on the team a lot of fun. Leeanne Weld Team Members; Patty Aziz, Jennifer Beatty, Darcy Bett, Carrie Cameron, Jane Connor, Kate Dafoe, Valerie Fitzgerald, Allison Huycke, Heather Magee, Laurie Nichols, Samantha Sharpe, Maria Soriano, Leeanne Weld, Heather Massey, Isobel Calvin. 1 5 ' s Softball On a bright May afternoon, seven girls clad with green shorts, white shirts and mean smiles, entered the B.S.S. field. Although we were short two girls, we managed to tie one to one! We then encountered the Havergal Team. Branksome wasn ' t as prepared as we thought we were. Although we almost triumphed, they beat us in the ninth inning. Well, better luck next year! Liz, keep catching, Emily keep sliding into first, but Jen, stay a spectator, please! (just kidding) Becky Moore Team Members: Julie Lees, Tina Soriano, Becky Moore, Emily Long, Liz Wood, Siona McCully, Heather Cartwright, Shelagh Grant, Katie Macaulay, Sarah Eliot, Roslyn Beer, Sarah Finch. 95 14 ' s Soft Ball This year ' s team was really enthusiastic which is probably why we did so well. Our greatest victory was against Havergal, but unfortunately BSS wiped us right out. Special thanks to all who came out to cheer us on and to Miss Pepler who was a great coach. I hope everyone had fun! Suzie McMeans Team Members: Michelle Genco, Nicole Lehoczky, Susan McKenna, Anthea Mars, Susan McMeans, Lee-Ann Meadows, Rachel Gorman, Tori Wilson, Suzanne Genco. Soccer The 1984 soccer season was a very successful one for the Branksome Hall soccer team. We participated in the Toronto Catholic School League in which we met some fairly stiff competition. Although we did not clinch the championships the team effort was outstanding and everyone enjoyed herself. Thank you ' s go to Susan Tompson and Mr. Blake who coached us. Karin Swift T.D.C.A.A Tennis Team Members: Sasha Darling, Karin Swift, Shuna Baird, Vicki Turnbull, Kathy Barclay, Kim Foley, Alison Tasker, Hillary Pounsett, Andrea Usher-Jones, Karen Thomson, Colleen Silver, Megan Long, Stephanie Harrington, Heather Frise, Laura Loewen, Colleen Doyle. Both the senior and junior teams played really well at the TDCAA tennis tournament this year. Gigi Hull and Carol Hood won the senior doubles, while Adrienne Grant made it to the singles final. Leeanne Weld played in the mixed doubles and was defeated in the semi-finals. On the junior team, Seana Massey and Avery Basset were also semi-finalists. Hilary Wells did well in mixed doubles as did Lisa Korthals in singles. Congratulations! Carol Hood Team Members: Leeanne Weld, Seana Massey, Lisa Korthals, Hilary Wells, Adrienne Grant, Avery Bassett, Gigi Hull, Carol Hood. 96 16 ' s Tennis Team Members: Shannon McCarthy, Karen Short, Tori Hackett, Bronwen Scott, Cari Burrows, Susie Hore, Jill Dingle. 15 ' s Tennis Team Members: Christina Volgyesi, Martha Henderson, Joyce Kite, Linton Carter, Daphne King, Nancy Ross, Louise Dunlap, Kim Dalglish, Jane Loci hart. 14 ' s Tennis Team Members: Stephanie Garrow, Janet Richardson, LesHe Scott, Lara Volgyesi, Tally Chamberlin, Hilary Wells. The three tennis teams of last Spring were definitely fit for Wimbledon. When they were finished their season they were pros. The 16 ' s team consisted of a sizzling group of truly professional girls. Chris Everett Lloyd and Carling Bassett were going to come to one of our two round robins but they couldn ' t because Carling was doing an ad for Diet C-plus that day, and Everett Lloyd was on a promotional tour for her new barbie doll, Chrissie . Bronwen Scott, Susie Hore, Cari Burrows and Jill Dingle deserve special recognition for their great tennis abilities. Seriously now! We had fun and would like to thank Mrs. Jennings for her help. Thanks, Mrs. Jennings! Jill Dingle Track and Field The bell goes at 3:30, Branksome Hall time, and 30 odd girls race down to the locker room to get on their sweats. Nine are off to UCC by bike or TTC to train with Mr. Payne and Mr. Life and the rest down to the lower field with Mrs. Kizoff, Mrs. Georgievski and Mrs. Glennie. They stretch and sweat until they are finally in top shape and ready for the meets and another terrific season. Track and Field meets, held on Fridays, Saturdays or sometimes during the school week, are looked forward to with nervousness and pleasure. After busing the distance to St. Mike ' s or TTCing up to York University, the events take place and then you relax - sunbathing, eating and running around socializing are favourite pastimes of all track and field members. Last year, Branksome placed first in most events and overall in the famous ISAA; six girls qualified for Metro ' s after TDCAA ' s. At TD ' s, Carol Hood won the high jump, the 100 m and 200m sprints. Brigitte Kopas went on to OFSAA in sprinting. Many thanks to all our coaches - I don ' t know what we ' d do without them. Good luck in 1985! Fiona Baird Squash At Branksome you have to be quick to be in squash because when the sign-up sheet goes up, it fills with names almost instantly. Squash is a fairly new sport at Branksome and very popular. Each Monday and Thursday in the fall term the players go at either 3:40 or 4:20 to play at the Sherbourne Club. There ' s no slacking off - one ' s always on the go, stopping, twisting and starting again. Girls came off the courts with cherry-red faces. Mrs. MacLellan organized the games, the tournament and inspired all the players. From beginners to advanced, everyone was able to improve her game by playing different opponents each week. At the end of the season a final tournament was played in the Monday and Thursday groups. The top players of each tournament played against each other. Heather Adam blew her opponents away and finished first overall. Thank you to Mrs. MacLellan who planned and scheduled all the games and was there to teach and supervise the games each day. Tori Hackett Cross-Country Last call for girls midget junior senior race. Sweats off! The race will start at the sound of the gun. These phrases are familiar to the many runners (about 40 girls in all) who were part of the Branksome Cross Country Team of 1985. These girls worked hard and each girl made some kind of individual achievement. Early morning practices and hard and easy workouts were all part of the cross-country runners training schedule. After these rigourous training sessions the hard work paid off. I know many girls have memories of the hot cornfield and mount trinity at T.C.S., endless mud and water and stairs at Taylor Creek Park, and stretches of sand at St. Martin ' s. Once again Branksome faced the independent schools at Taylor Creek Park, placing first in all divisions and holding onto the I.S.A.A championship. This year as part of Toronto ' s sesqui- centennial celebration, five girls from B.H.S.: Helen Demp ster, Nancy McDonald, Danielle Miller, Monica Moles and Janet Anthony travelled to Rochester, New York to compete with runners from New York. i Team Members: Helen Dempster, Jennifer Griffiths, Patsy Smith, Danielle Miller, Meredith Shaw, Emma Loewen, Bonnie McKinnon, Kristi Syron, Kim Buzacott, Stephanie Garrow, Jana Whitworth, Caroline Warnock, Holly Jamieson, Louise Blundell, Tori Barton, Sarah Chappie, Janet Mollenhauer, Catriona Padmore, Kathy Watt, Alison Dalglish, Lynn Holloran, Barb Chambers, Monica Moles, Fiona Baird, Miranda de Pencier, Lisa Korthals, Paula Hunt, Leith Blatchford, Seana Massey, Janet Anthony, Stacy Northgrave, Sophie MuUins, Nancy MacDonald, Terrell Bond, Adrienne Soles, Becky Moore, Allison Papas After conquering the hill at the T.D.C.A.A. ' s, the Junior team, consisting of Fiona Baird, Miranda de Pencier, Monica Moles, and Janet Anthony, qualified and went on to compete at Georgetown in the Ontario finals. Special thanks must go to Mrs. Kizoff and Mrs. Georgievski, because without their support and encouragement the season would not have been the success that it was. Catriona Padmore 1 6 ' s Basketball We had a young first basketball team this year as we lost some veterans through graduation last June. This is not to say we weren ' t a highly skilled team with great potential. We had some fancy ball- handling from Carol Hood on offense. Joining her on the forward line were veterans Laurie Nichols, hot shooting Emily Long, and a great new comer. Dee Denyar. On our defensive end we had great guarding from Karin Swift, Gigi Hull, Sue Creighton and Brenda Wilson. Although our season record was not out- standing we did win a few games and were in high spirits at all times. Thanks must go to Mrs. Glennie for coaching us and I promise that with one season under our belts we ' ll have the pass, pike and roll down pat next fall. Thanks to all the players for a hard working, fun season and we ' ll get ' em next year. Jennifer Kitchen 1 6 ' s Basketball I cam Members: Kathleen Denyar, Susan Creighton, Emily Long, Gigi Hull, Carol Hood, Susan Andrus, Karin Swift, Brenda Wilson, Jennifer Kitehen, Laurie Nichols. A summary of the efforts of the basketball B team: Grueling morning and afternoon practices prepared us for the other private school competition. The B team dived into the spirit of one of the most strenuous team sports. Our final game against Havergal was a close battle. Unfortunately we were defeated, leaving the winners of the season to be St. Clements. We were supported loyally by the school and Miss Roach. Many thanks must be awarded to Mrs. Glennie who devoted her time and effort. Congratulations to the B team - the season was certainly a success. Sam Sharpe Team Members; Sam Sharpe, Cathy Mills, Shannon McCarthy, Katherine Shultz, Tammy Long, Adrienne Grant, Leeanne Weld, Suzanne Walter, Daphne King. 15 ' s Basketball In the fall basketball invades Branksome ' s gym. This year the 15 ' s team was out there before school, after school and during lunches shooting, scrimmaging and going over and over and over and over again all of those drills. We began the season on a sour note with a loss to Havergal though we ended it with 3 vic- tories in a row!! All in all, we played 7 games, 2 were exhibitions. Everyone on the team deserves recognition for her deter- mination, skill and enthusiasm. We must not forget Mrs. Glennie who coached us to our victories and helped us play our best during those slightly more dif- ficult games. It was a super season Brigitte Kopas Team Members: Brigitte K., Roz B., Tamara, Andrea S., Corinna, Katie M., Heather C, Christina N., Shelagh G., Jo. B., Susan Mc. Syncro Team Members: Patricia Zingg, Claire Prendergast, Mary Moffat, Mary McClenaghan, Carol Martin, Shelagh Sturtridge The seven girls chosen for this year ' s synchronized swim team deserve congratulations for their outstanding effort and en- thusiasm. Our practices, some of which took place on Saturdays, were LONG and hard; but they finally paid off. The club, of between twenty and thirty girls from both the senior and junior schools, worked hard perfecting its skills for the show held in May. I ' d like to thank Mrs. Lumsdon for her time and all those in- volved in synchro for their constant support and dedication. Shelagh Sturtridge 101 Swimming This year the Branksome Swim Team had a very successful season. It began with the usual tryouts where 60-70 people crowded into the pool with the hope of making the team. A team of 25 girls was finally chosen. We trained for 2 seasons from September to February every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 7:30 am. Minnow and Fufi usually got there, but slightly later than everyone else. We had three swim meets during the fall term in which we did very well - 2nd out of 6 independent schools. We then went on to the Bishop ' s Cup finals for the independent schools, held at the Etobicoke Olympium. The competition was tough and the meet was tense and exciting. Everyone swam well and Branksome came out on top. We won by 2 points, bringing home the Bishop ' s Cup (we hadn ' t had it since 1980). We continued our training throughout the winter term preparing for the T.D.C.A.A. championships. On Sunday, February 17, we gathered at Branksome and headed out to the Etobicoke Olympium once again. Sarah C. even showed up in her uniform. The meet began at 10:00 am. There were 22 schools participating - public, private and Catholic schools from the Toronto area. We ate chocolate chip cookies for that extra bit of energy as we anxiously Team Members: Lisa Gibson, Wendy Coulter, Meianie Bright, Meiony .lamieson, Jane Edwards, Sarah Chappie, Pauline Wait, Jane Wadsvvorth, Tracy Montgomery, Avery Bassett, Becky Moore, Sara Hancock, Louise Mitchell, Mary Wadsworth, Paula Hunt, Ginny Luks, Allison Case, Roslyn Case, Linton Carter, Gretel Mitchell, Alison Woriey, Christina Meynell, Erin Finn, Maureen McMath, Kay McCutcheon, Sabrina Mitchell, Nancy Clark, Jane Taylor awaited our races (sorry Nancy, you ' ll have to sort that out with Meiony). Allison C. sat on the bleachers contemplating her upcoming 200 metres freestyle. Perhaps it ' s the cold water of the Olympium pool or perhaps it ' s the talent, determination and skill of the team and its coach, but everyone swam her best. We did very well in individual events and outstandingly well in the relays. We won the junior and senior divisions and came second in the T.D.C.A.A. championships, winning the new Bassett award for Girl ' s swimming (thanks Avery and family). We celebrated our victory with the U.C.C. swim team who won the T.D.C.A.A. boy ' s championship. Our little amphetamine, Meiony succeeded in giving numerous insults to the U.C.C. boys, yet managed to fall in love with many of them. Allison C. had a little trouble pulling Roslyn away to go home. Despite Gretel and Louise ' s pessimism, Wendy ' s black eye and broken nose, and the absence of Tracy, we made a terrific team. Many thanks to everyone else for your commitment and dedication. A special thank you should be extended to our faithful driver and supporter, Mr. Ramsden, and of course our coach, Mrs. Lumsdon. Sabrina Mitchell First Volleyball This season was our first time playing in the T.D.C.A.A. league. We had a lot of really great and exciting games although our results never showed it. Our games were so close that many of our Branksome sup- porters went home with low-bitten nails. Thanks to Mrs. Cheejeman for her longlasting supi brt iand olir captain, Barb Chambers, for her way to pick ' em en- thusiasm. Emily Long Team Members: Gayle Armstrong, Barb Chambers, Susan Creighton, Leslie Fleming, Allison Huycke, Jen Kitchen, Emily Long, Catherine Needham, Maria Soriano, Maureen Turner. Second Volleyball After endless try-outs, the second ' s volleyball team for ' 85 was chosen. Every person on the team, new or old gave it all they could and boy did it show. We defeated all three schools twice except for St. Clement ' s, whom we lost to once. Ya! we really like volleyball. We improved our skill and had a great time playing. A special thanks to Mrs. Jennings for a most successful season and for being a great coach. Andrea Papas p.s keep talking Team Members: Abbey Beer, Jenny McCulloch, Fiona Anderson, Catriona Padmore, Andrea Papas, Katie Ouils, Claire Duckworth, Karen Swift, Tonya Katz, Christina Nurse 103 Thirds Volleyball Team Members: Rosalyn Beer, Colleen Silver, Suzanne Walter, Keiko Hemni, Andrea Savage, Timmie Sugunasari, Katie Macauly, Anthea Mars. The thirds volleyball team had a fantastic season this year. We were undefeated in our league games. Most of the games were won 15-0. Our entire team had a lot of fun playing together and we learnt a lot at the same time. Thanks very much to Mrs. Jennings, our coach and Rosalyn Beer, our captain. Colleen Silver 16 ' s Badminton Despite the short courts and the early morning practices that the 16 ' s badminton team had to contend with, they once again had a very successful season. They succeeded in defeating B.S.S. and St. Clement ' s in two separate tournaments, and breaking even with Havergal. They were all set to beat Toronto French but the taxi ' s that were to take them there never showed up! Bronwen Scott .1 Team Members: C. Adams, T. Hackett, L. Nichols, M. Bond, G. Hull, L. Korthals, S. O ' Connor, M. Wright, C. Mills, P. Snively, M. Henderson, H. Massey, B. Scott. 15 ' s Badminton This year ' s 15 ' s bad- minton team played better and won more as it progressed through the season. We had some troubles with trans- portation to the various schools but were vic- torious in the end. Many thanks to Mrs. Kizoff. Hilary Wells Team Members: S. Kneider, W. Coulter, A. Freiberg, T. Barton, H. Wells, J. Anthony, T. Bond, A. Dorfman, P. Smith, P. Aird, B. Russell, L. Volgyesi, C. Weaver, T. Wilson. Ski Team After try-outs at Horseshoe Valley early in January, our ski team was chosen. It was: Becky Moore, Jennifer Kitchen, Jennifer Beatty, Heather Gray, Anthea Mars, Monica Moles and Brigitte Kopas. At the Toronto District Finals at Blue Mountain, our team swept away with the championship ahead of Havergal and Micheal Power. All of our racers placed in the top ten and individual awards went to three. They were: Heather Gray who won both the slalom and the giant slalom, Anthea Mars who was second in the giant slalom and Jennifer Kitchen who came second in the slalom. Our win at the TDCAA ' s qualified us for the OFSAA high school cham- pionships at Craigleith the following week. The girl ' s slalom race was held on a windy Thursday and again Branksome showed their prowess by ending up tied for first place with North Toronto after the first day. Slalom results: 3rd Heather Gray, 5th Jennifer Kitchen, 14th Anthea Mars, 15th Brigitte Kopas, 17th Jennifer Beatty. The morning of the girls giant slalom was warm and sunny but went downhill when it began to rain after lunch. Unfortunately, our star skier. Heather Gray, had an urge to ride down the hill in the ski patrol ' s toboggan instead of her skis. Another one of our best racers, Jen Kitchen, also had a bad fall but made it down the hill on her skis. The rest of our skiers turned in good times despite the pressure that they were under. Giant Slalom results: 16th Anthea Mars, 18th Jennifer Beatty, 23rd Brigitte Kopas. Overall, Branksome came second to North Toronto which is a great achievement. Special thanks to Miss Popper, Mrs. Glennie, the Mars and the U.C.C. ski- sharpening and entertainment services for their time and organization. Monica Moles Cross Country Skiing Cross-country skiing was an addition to Branksome ' s winter sports this year. Unfortunately we only had 3 outings - spring came earlier than it was expected. We went to Summit, the Humber River and the Metro Zoo. Those who went to the zoo do not recommend skiing there. Thank goodness for the polar bear and good ' ol McD ' s! See you all next year. Suzanne Walter Club Members: Miss Popper, Susan Creighton, Roslyn Case, Jane Lockhart, Christina Nurse, Hope Nightingale, Colleen Silver, Cristina Kuok, Tina Soriano, Nancy North, Kathy Wood, Liz Wood, Terrell Bond, Julie Lees, Sarah Hennessey, Suzanne Walter Hockey Team Members: Mary Wright, Sarah Wright, Gigi Hull, Ania Russocki, Leeanne Weld, Andrea Gare, Lisa Hand, Caroline Cummings, Sarah Eliot, Shelagh Grant, Susan McKenna, Cathy Mills, Anne Cloutier, Carol Hood, Miranda DePencier, Heather Cartwright, Christina Zeidler. The city is void of sound and still with sleep. Among the silence of the city a faint murmur is heard from a small brick house in the distance. I approach this sound most cautiously, hoping desperately that it was not what I thought it was . . . c !0 . . . suddenly a massive herd of green figures with the word Branksome sprawled across their backs came dashing out in a frenzy with their sticks waving frantically about. It was what I had feared, ... it was the Branksome Hall hockey team out for their usual Friday morning practice while everyone else in the country was fast asleep (I was again 15 minutes late). This year the Branksome Hall hockey has been very strong in defending its 8 year winning streak and extending it into a ninth year of being un- defeated. This may be due to the short season that we had this year and our wonderful participant - our coach, Mrs. Glennie. Thanks everyone for a great year. Carol Hood 106 Field Hockey 107 Once again the Fall arrived and with it the field hockey season. We in our kilts chased a white ball which frequently disappeared in the leaves. Thanks everyone, it was fun - especially the pizza parties at Willa ' s. Thanks to Mrs. Jen- nings, too. Pam Peers WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A BRANKSOME ATHLETE: IN THE LIMELIGHT CLU8S Library Club 110 The crew of enthusiastic, dedicated ' book-keepers ' battled through tall shelves, stacks of books, magazines and files. Their determination, charisma and coy persuading of parents allowed them to have the most successful Buy-a- book for Branksome yet, raising approximately $2400. The faithfulness of the eager grade thirteens this year was overwhelming. I suspect that hearty provisions of cookies and chips had much to do with their enlisting. I want to thank all the energetic ' book-keepers ' whose diligence kept the library running smoothly. The library underwent some changes this year; a bright new mural, a furniture change and new book shelves, which I hope will be enjoyed by the whole school. However, all would not have been possible without the caring support of Mrs. Dick. ' cookies and books forever ' Peggy Theodore Greek Club These students faithfully meet once a week with Mrs. Blake to learn Classical Greek. Even though this is the first year for this club, we hope it will continue. Beta Kappa This year Beta Kappa got off to a great start with an astronomical number of members. The enthusiasm was incredible. Our first dance was the Rout which was held on October 20. It was a glowing success to say the least! We had a band and a disc jockey which added some variety. The formal was the next big occasion which, as always, presented much ex- citement. It was held at the Westin Hotel on February 23 which was a switch from other years. The next dance was the Strawberry Festival which was put on by the grade twelves. I would like to thank everyone for their help and I hope the enthusiasm that we had this year continues for many more. Special thanks to Mme Bayley and Jennifer Pierce. Barb Hall 111 Music Club Choir How can you keep 52 girls busy Wednesdays after school? Have them join the choir! This year the choir was one of the largest in Branksome ' s history. A surprising 25 minor-niners joined. As a result, there was a shortage of music. At the beginning of the year we went to Glen Bernard camp for the annual choir weekend. We enjoyed ourselves and we learned a lot of music. We sang this music at Holt Renfrew, the Carol Service, the Spring Concert and at the Independent Schools Concert. Chamber choir was a success as well. Between fits of laughter we learned even more music. I would like to express special thanks to Alison for her help. Putting together choir folders is, well, fun? Wow! Mr. Bickle, as usual, has done a superb job. We were a good •choir but only because we had his guidance. Thank you, Mr. B. Thanks, everyone, for making this year so much fun for me and so special! Have a fantastic summer. Your Pres. Ainsley This year we have a fine group of musicians per- forming in the school. Music has always been an important aspect of Branksome Hall life with im- portant performances such as the musicals and music night as well as other fun events. Alex and I wish all the members a happy and suc- cessful 1985. Good luck!! Hope 112 Kilt Press The Kilt Press - How else would you get the chance to wrestle with the ditto machine and become smeared with black ink? When else do you get to work with the most tolerant people in the world -- the office staff? Where else can you see your opinions and thoughts, if any, in black and white? What else provides a view of the school as seen by the students? Why else does Branksome have the Kilt Press? Extra special thanks to Mrs. Blake; she has been super. Thank you to all those writers, artists and typists. We couldn ' t have done it without you! Janet Read and Louise Dempster Writing Club This year has been a tremendous success. Creativity has abounded and a great deal of credit is due to the dedication of the members. The number of members has increased steadily and our popularity has become widespread. During the year, we had the opportunity to attend several functions, including a visit to the Har- bourfront to hear a renowned Russian poet, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, discuss his work. Our writing has been diverse, ranging from nonsense verse and the interior monologue to the short story and the sonnet. A debt of gratitude is owed to Mrs. Levitt, who has been indispensible both as an advisor and as a friend. Drama Another successful year for drama has come to a close. We produced a play, Six Characters in Search of an Author and a smash musical, Hello Dolly. Enthusiasm abounded in the club this year and especially in the sets and props area. (We might have a body building club soon! !) Many thanks to the drama club (you guys are talented and hard working) and to all those not direct ' y involved in drama who so generously helped us out. I know everyone joins me in thanking Mrs. Smith for her time, patience, energy and appreciation for BHS food. Have a great tanned summer! Love Candace Debating Debating got off to a terrific start this year with tons of support from all grades! A lot of us learned how to debate for the first time and the rest of us simply honed our arguing skills. Thanks to the hard work of Mrs. McRae, Mrs. Zommers and the debaters Branksome won the first round of the Fulford debating tour- nament for the first time! This year Branksome was given the honour of hosting a Fulford Cup tournament (in April) and the participation of all those involved was greatly appreciated. We all owe a big thank-you to Mrs. Zommers and Mrs. McRae whose hard work is constant but rarely visible. Thanks for all your support, Pam and Mary Alumnae From car washes to cooking demonstrations, has the Alumnae ever been active! We started the year off by raising $300.00 towards students bursaries through our car wash. It was fun but very cold. Thanks to the help of 60 students, it was a great success. Along with the annual Art Shows, we had a cooking demonstration by Charlotte Graham that was full of fantastic ideas. Violinist, Steven Staryk of the Toronto Symphony, performed in late February to help raise money for us. Followed by afternoon tea, it was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The best part of the year for the grads was the pizza party that the Alumnae held for us. We probably ate enough pizza to last us all year. Working with the Alumnae has been very eye- opening for us. Getting together with 30 very en- terprising women once a month was terrific. Thanks especially to Mrs. Hepburn, the president, Mrs. MacNeill, Mrs. Decks and Miss Roach. Here ' s to lots of luck in the future! Love Heidi and Jill Parents ' Association This year the Parent ' s Asso- ciation consisted of 25 members. This group ranged from parents, both principals, teachers, and myself. We met on several oc- casions during the year. We discussed school activities and ways to increase our funds. Each idea was voted on before being put into motion. As a student I learned a tremendous amount about Branksome Hall from a different angle. I would like to thank the Parents ' Association for enabling a student to contribute to such a valuable organization. Diane Dempsey A.V. Considering I am about the most un-technically inclined person you could ever meet, my reaction to becoming responsible for lights and sound was panic! Fortunately, my fears were soon assauged when I realized what a competent team I was working with. My gratitude is boundless toward the lights, slides and sound people, as well as Miss Brown, Mrs. Strangway and Mr. Bickle. Jo Parker Amnesty International Amnesty International is a world-wide organization that was formed with the purpose of defending people imprisoned, not for violent crimes, but for their political or religious beliefs. These people are often denied several of their human rights. Because of Amnesty International now approximately 5 prisoners of conscience are freed per day. Amnesty International accomplishes this by sending letters, telegrams and petitions to the countries that imprison these people. As a school group, one would think that we were powerless because we are not allowed to write letters. We, however, play an important role in fund-raising and publicity. This year, through videos and seminars we have made Branksome very well aware of what Am- nesty does; that is a service in itself. Through our Christmas sale and our Valentine ' s Day carnation service we have raised a great deal for Amnesty, thanks to super school support. This money will be used to send expensive telegrams and to pay for other services of Amnesty International. Thanks, Branksome, for supporting such a worthy cause. A special thank you to Mrs. Strangway and Jane for all their help! Catherine Adams Opheleo Thanks to the support and generosity of the students of Branksome, this year has proved to be a successful fund-raising year. S20 00 was raised for charity during Ramabai Week and donated to various charities. At Christmas time, Wendy and I took the hundreds of white gifts to the Yonge Street Mission for needy and underprivileged people. This year, however, Branksome proved to be even more generous by raising over $6000 in a Swim- athon for Ethiopia. Thanks must go to all the staff and students involved in the swimathon whether through organization or participation. Almond sales, of course, went very well this year. We would like to thank our staff advisor, Mrs. Watson, and those on Opheleo who helped us. Andrea Wait Wendy Spencer My Favorite Teddy Bear Raggedly cute, dirty, worn Chubby arms, crooked legs, one eye, Small black nose, red felt tongue. Two floppy ears, wrinkled tummy.

Hayley Avruskin, Grade 11 Winter Streams condense into frosted lace and an icy glaze outlines the dormant trees. The chill of the wind sweeps over the barren land, frightening the winter creatures into their sacred retreat. The icy fields fold into a white pillow, that expands below the grey sky, looking for companionship through a snowy white veil. The night falls quickly. Faint moonlight reflects the frosty shadows of the lost images. The surroundings are all peaceful. Silence is the only sound to be heard. Corinna Lehr, Grade 10 120 STONEY LAKE Listening to the waves lap on the Stoney shoreline, I lie in bed thinking. The sun had set as a vibrant red ball leaving the sky pink, orange, and red with blue clouds scattered among these colours. The fisherman had been out in the dark; out of town holidayers trying to catch a big fish to reward them of their expenses, and locals from around the lake, getting cold, mos- quito bitten, but having fun. In the morning I awake with the sun rays streaming through my window, birds chirping, and the waves lapping on the Stoney shoreline. Julie Lees.

Still, you cry with all your life ' s strength, cats. You ' re filthy and starving. But You scream a defiance against death. You refuse to be subdued. Scream, cats. You scream and you are alive.

The characters have departed from The stage. But the props continue to play to A silent ovation. The sky - a collage of colour. Hazy purple Ominous gray, Electric blue.

Katy Ingham, Grade 12 Like Like a kite caught on A wire, I am electrified and Am unable to disentangle myself From you. Like two chemicals. We bonded together, Sharing innate characteristics. Partially giving up Individuality In return for Fulfillment. Like two politicians, We circled each other, Noticing strengths. Weaknesses, Attributes and Flaws. Each baited the other. Trying to arouse some type of Strong response. You succeeded. Of my success, I remain Ignorant. Jane Leckey Grade 13 123 SHOES The glare was drastic; I was forced to squint in order to see through the shimmering glass. The window- was filled with electrical equipment such as toasters, blenders, food processors, and on the top, resting on a shelf, was a microwave oven. The next window was a travel agency; there was a large poster covered with delicate pink flowers advertising Bermuda. Beside it was another poster with the caption: Say Si to Spain. Past the door there was a British Airways jet suspended from a thin nylon string. It drifted back and forth from the window. It looked as if it was flying but then I noticed an air conditioning vent below it which was the source of its motion. It was certainly appealing to think of going to an exotic country. I walked on daydreaming of bullfighters, sightseeing, and speaking Spanish. Ole! I screamed inside myself. Soon I was brought back into the world of reality. The world of traffic, noise, and people. I felt an ache coming from somewhere. I looked down and realized it was from my new sandals. They had been abusing my feet while I was at the bullfights; little did they know I could fight back. I stripped them off my feet and walked barefoot throughout the streets. The pavement was extremely hot. I had to keep a brisk pace in order not to scald my feet. I looked ahead and saw the crystalline shimmer of the black ash- phalt. I walked at a lively speed, keeping an eye open for any sharp object that might do damage to my naked, tender feet. The path was black. The odd pebble came into view, and of course, the odd smear of pink bubblegum, soft and sticky from the summer sun. It seemed to bubble on the pavement, creating a messy pink blob that would ooze into my line of view. I looked in some more store windows, but eventually grew bored, and decided I would find greater amusement in sitting on a bench and fan- tasizing of Spain. I imagined myself strolling through the cobblestoned streets with vendors on either side of the road. Straw hats, pottery, paintings, and of course, leather goods were all in evidence at each stand. Eventually I stopped for a cool refreshing drink at some quaint little cafe near the street. I could watch all the natives and tourists walk by, both easily differentiated. The natives were distinguished because of their dark, swarthy appearances, and their expressionless ease in bartering with the vendors, The tourists on the other hand, stuck out of the crowd with their stark white skin, their hats, and their conservative tee-shirts with the bermuda shorts or wraparound skirts. Their cameras, guide books, Spanish dictionaries and straw bags were not to be forgotten, but perhaps most noticeable was their shoes. Their shoes did not only declare they were tourists, but also determined their nationality. The Americans and Canadians fit into the same niche. They wore a comfortable walking shoe, something very practical, most often a running shoe. The Germans were another distinct breed because they always wore socks with their sandals, making for a somewhat awkward style. The English were most often found with a loafer or sandal of s ome sort. The Italians usually wore leather shoes of bright colours and the Orientals usually wore mustard-coloured sandals with extremely large criss- crossed straps. Reality stepped in again; I decided I had been very observant in my little fantasy world. I looked at my feet to see my pink blistered ankles, my swollen big toe, and my calloused baby toe. I looked at my new sandals with disgust. These innocent, expensive, attractive shoes had disabled my guiltless feet. The sandals certainly were magnificent; the leather just needed to wear in. The man at the shoe store said they would stretch if I wore them around awhile. I decided I would just have to tolerate the pain. I would torture my feet the first few times, but soon enough those shoes would behold the comfort and airiness of last summer ' s sandals. I bent over to put them on. I looked inside the shoe to be sure no pebbles or chewing gum had found their way inside my foot ' s humble home. My sandal was empty of visitors except for one little label right on the inside of my shoe that said: Made In Spain.

They are solid - blurred around the edges with a tinge of pink. Drifting ever slowly eastward. But Don ' t tell me I cannot touch the clouds. I know I can. Jo Parker, Grade 13 Clearly is seen The bed that stands full of stuffed toys There is no room for the little pigtailed girl, clad in fuzzy yellow feet pyjamas. The yellow blanket is pulled down exposing crisp white sheets. The girl makes her way towards the laden bed. Within her arms lies the dearest toy. Once on the bed, she makes sure Every animal is safe. Then, as carefully as a mother With a new-born child. She slides herself between the cool sheets hoping none of her children is disturbed. The picture fades away slowly As does on an old television set. Finally there is nothing. Then suddenly there is a light. A new picture is seen. A woman stands in a yellow robe beside a white crib. In it is her child. The baby sleeps As soundly as the mother did many years before. Jordana Binstock Grade 9 Tomorrow . . . rush no time, not ever - there is an endless motion. . . . learning no stopping, not ever - there is an endless anticipation. . . . loving no pain, not ever - there is an endless joy. Emotions too many to notice, Overcrowded feelings. Never appreciated until tomorrow. Wendi Brown Grade 13 127 Granda Everyone laughed. Mrs. Dower leaned over to whisper in her son ' s ear. The little boy cringed and giggled as her breath tickled his neck. Timothy, do Mummy a favour and go downstairs for some firewood. The flame is starting to die out. If you hurry, there ' ll be a nice warm mug of egg nog waiting for you in the kitchen. Timothy ' s heart began to pulse quickly at the thought of the Basement. Mom, I can ' t, I . . . Timothy looked dartingly at the questioning faces of his parents ' dinner guests. I don ' t know where my jacket is, and it ' s so cold down there. I . . . Oh, my little Timothy Cricket, your jacket is hung up in the hall closet where it always is. Wear your mitts and slippers too, I don ' t want Jack Frost nibbling at my baby ' s toes. Reluctantly the boy slid from his seat and dressed himself for the descent. Timothy turned and gave his mother a farewell wave. He then turned to the door and reached a tremulous mittened hand up to the gray, steel knob. The door opened and the rush of cold air paralyzed Timothy as though it had been hissed from the lips of an icy demon. Eight, nine, ten, eleven. Eleven steps. Eleven is my lucky number, unlucky number. Eleven teeth to bite you with, my dear! I heard that. Something is hiding behind those trunks, elephants, they never forget, (how to get you when you ' re not looking.) That baby doll in the carriage is watching me. You ' re just jealous because you ' ll never grow up, you can ' t even count to one, two pieces of wood. My weapons! Ha! Now you all are afraid, now I have the power! Timothy felt a finger of warm air caress the back of his neck. A breath of air . . . The little boy quickened his pace, and convulsively turned to face the creature that was stalking him. Nothing. Startled by the sight of his shadow sprawled grotesquely across the chinky walls, Timothy caught the edge of his slipper on the carriage wheel. Jack Frost nipping at my toes, grabbing my feet to pull me into the cold cement floor! Never, never, never! With each never , Timothy wrenched his foot out of the skeletal grasp of the wheel ' s spokes. He freed himself and ran, numbly up the stairs. You can ' t, you ' re trying to reach through the stairs to grab me but I am too fast, like the wind. Again, the little boy felt the hot, moist wisp of air encircle his throat. Timothy scratched at his neck with the hand he freed to open the basement door, but he did not stop running, or turn around. The top of the stairs, reach the knob, turn, push! The pane rattled, but the door remained shut. Push again, harder, this door always sticks. Granda just forgets to oil it, Granda said he oiled it yesterday. Someone(thing) is leaning on the door, it wants me to stay downstairs forever! Heartbeat or footsteps padding softly up the stairwell? Push again! Its claw reaching for my shoulder, to carry me under the ground to its cave. No! The door flew open, and Timothy stumbled into the kitchen with a pale lip and flushed, fevered cheek. He wiped the chilling perspiration from his forehead, and gathered the pieces of kindling from the floor. Timmy, his mother called, what on earth are you doing? Sorry Mom, the door jammed again, he blurted out. Timothy entered the living room and handed his mother the sticks of wood. That ' s Granda for you, scrimping on everything, even a little oil for a door. Granda, you ' re unbelievable! Granda grinned and walked over to Timothy. Winking at the little boy, he leaned over and said to Timothy, Come in to the kitchen, son, and I ' ll get you that cup of egg nog. As Granda said this, Timothy felt the licks of burn- ing breath writhe up and around his neck, and rake 128 across his face. Granda winked again, and took Timothy out to the kitchen for his drink. Liz Paupst, Grade 10 Winter (downtown) Buildings loom over me Gray and grim. It is impossible to open the door from the warm mall to the outside, so strong is the wind fighting me. At last outside, a sudden gust catches me and astonished, I slide down the icy sidewalk effortlessly. Jo Parker Grade 13 The colours blend and mix together So that they are more like an artist ' s pallette Than leaves. The gold, red, and orange are blotted against The pale grey fall sky.

Liz Allingham Grade 1 1 129 FOR THOSE WHO ARE LEAVING, Mrs. Olson It is with considerable sadness that we say au revoir to Mrs. Elise Olson this June. Mrs. Olson has been associated with Branksome for 25 years as a teacher of French and head of the modern languages department. We appreciate her years of hard work and deep concern for the progress of the French programme at Branksome. Under her leadership, the extended and enriched French courses were started and the exchange between Branksome girls and students from overseas and Quebec got under way. Born in New York, Mrs. Olson was brought up in New York and the South of France. She has also lived in Indo China, New Zealand and Australia. Mrs. Olson was educated at Smith College and the Sorbonne. At Smith, she had the distinction of owning her own airplane. Later on, she became an Officer in the American Navy. We will miss the daily association with Mrs. Olson next year, but we hope retirement will mean extra time with her children and four grandchildren and many pleasant days at her farm in Vermont. Mrs. Adams We are very sorry to say good-bye to Mrs. Kay Adams who is retiring this June. Mrs. Adams joined the Branksome staff in June 1976 and her good humour and wit have added much to the congenial at- mosphere of the general office ever since. The students will know Mrs. Adams particularly as the person who runs the uniform shop with such good will, but all of us, students and staff alike, have benefited from the endless time and effort she has spent helping us and making our days run more smoothly. A sincere thank you to Mrs. Adams from all her friends at Branksome. We shall miss her. Mr. Ramsden Branksome students lose a good friend this year in Mr. Jack Ramsden. Mr. Ramsden came to the school as main- tenance supervisor in May 1976. He has taken a keen interest in school sports, especially swimming and we all appreciate his support and help in pool care and in transporting teams, sometimes long distances. We wish him and his wife, Lillian, who also has helped the school in many ways, a long and happy retirement. Mr. Savoie Branksome is losing a very talented member of its maintenance staff in Mr. Ray Savoie. Mr. Savoie who came to Branksome in July 1978 has made a major contribution to the renovation of No. 16 Elm Avenue, to the building of sets for our drama club and the construction of our new day care centre. We wish him a happy and active retirement. 130 GOOD-BYE... For CANADA ' S mi... LOOK TO CANADA UW BOOK.
