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.

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. Nunca Olvidare, Paty Zingg 6
