We hope that by mixing senior and junior sports, classes, clubs, and art we will en- courage senior students to acknow- ledge the junior ones and vice versa. This change was prompted by my memories of the Junior School where I considered the Slogan to be however many pages the junior School Section was - I never read beyond it and as a result, missed most of the substance of the Slogan. In turn, as a Senior School student, I know the Junior School Sec- tion is often skipped over and this is a shame. We hope that the way we have organized the Slogan inspires you to take an interest in both the senior and junior aspects of Branksome. We have added some new features to the Slogan this year. The Tradition pages were the result of a summer brainstorm session and we hope they help you to gain insight int o Branksome ' s history. Various pages are devoted to humour and we hope they are enjoyed in the spirit in which they were meant. We have endeavoured to include all of Branksome ' s activities in the Slogan and we apologize for any omissions. So much goes on at the school that it is im- possible to be involved in or even know about everything. While working late at school this year, I got a chance to see how many people work here beyond 5:00. 1 have a great respect for all those musicians, actresses, athletes, and stage crew members who work so hard for the school. We hope we have captured their energy and spirit in the yearbook. The Slogan is the product of many hours of hard work. The yearbook ' s production goes on behind the scenes and very few people are aware that the yearbook does not just magically ap- pear in May, all 160 pages completed. In fact, it requires that many people stay at school to work sometimes past mid- night as Jane and Terrell often did this year. Several people have spent their whole year preparing the Slogan - Mrs. MacGregor, our cheerful Staff Advisor whose patience and good nature made it possible to meet deadlines; Mrs. Gray, the Advertising Advisor; Mrs. Roe, the Literary Advisor; Mrs. Simp- son, the Art Advisor; Jane, the Layout Editor; Joyce, the Assistant Editor and Advertising Editor; Terrell, Christina, Jess, and the rest of the photographers; and the rest of the staff, Sarah, Stacey, Lisa, Gabrielle, and Gretel. Enjoy the Slogan! Elizabeth Allingham - Editor-in-Chief 2 HAYLEY At Branksome, we are surrounded by books and one can think of the school itself as a book with many different chapters. CHAPTER ONE - Every single person at or in- volved with Branksome makes it the outstanding place it is. Everyone from Kindergarten to Grade Thirteen, from the Parents ' Association to the staff. Every member of the Branksome community has something special and uni- que to offer. CHAPTER TWO - Branksome is famous for many things, including its variety of activities. There is an activity for everyone whether she enjoys sports or academics. It is a combination of the mixture of activities and the devotion which people show in their participa- MISS ROACH Every year I am happy to have the opportunity to thank the many people who give so much energy, time and care to make Branksome the lively, productive and even joyful place it is. We have a staff which give freely to after school photo, writing, chess, library, public affairs, science, French and cooking clubs. They ar- range and accompany students on trips to Washington, Quebec, Ottawa, England and France, Moosonee, Massachusetts and New York, to Stratford and Niagara-on-the-Lake and to theatre, ballet and gallery. They coach a variety of sports, drama, music and debating, after school and on the weekends, in Toronto and in other cities. It would be a mistake to take their efforts for granted. They are not required to do all they do and I thank them for giving so much to us. The students themselves have initiated the autumn games this year with hundreds of spectators and bagpipes, and the Hurrah for Hollywood Student Bazaar was great fun. They have worked hard to produce the Slogan, and The Kilt Press and they have rais- ed substantial amounts of money which they have donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Canadian FHaemophilia Associa- tion, Cancer Research and the Ronald McDonald House among other places. We are proud of the enormous success of our swimming team (the Toronto District Champions), our debating and public speaking society for the many laurels they bring home to us and the varied and strenuous efforts of the 38 girls in the Duke of Edinburgh Pro- gramme with their 50 mile bike hikes, winter camping and voyages on the Brigantine. And, of course, our instrumental music students and choir continue to give great pleasure. I also thank the Alumnae and Parents ' Association for their grad pizza party, the Great Escape festivity, the bursaries they give and the various programmes and speakers they provide. For all those who make Branksome the vibrant, happy place to work and play, my greatest thanks. tion in these activities which makes Branksome so special. If there is one thing I ask, it is that everyone get involved with the school. I strongly believe that one gets out of something in direct propor- tion to what one puts in. CHAPTER THREE - Everyone at Branksome is a member of a clan. Because the clans compete with and challenge each other, much spirit and fellowship is generated. However, as in Scotland, all the clans make up one big family, full of spirit. No matter how competitive these clans are, there is an underlying unity which binds them together. CHAPTER FOUR - One thing I ' ve noticed at Branksome is that people do things for other people. There is always a special teacher who spends long extra hours helping a bewildered student. There is always an older student who lends a helping hand to a younger student. CHAPTER FIVE - The high standard Branksome sets for everything cannot be overlooked. The Carol Service, the Challenge, the Fulford Cup, the Spring Concert - all represent the search for excellence. CHAPTER SIX - Friends are a necessary part to Branksome life and Branksome friendships are longlasting. The final product of six chapters of ideas makes up one book, bound together by good sportsmanship, fairness, and honesty. That is what Branksome is all about. 4 MISS BROUGH Codspell: our first Junior School musical Read-A-Thon: for Multiple Sclerosis Arts: visits to ROM, AGO and McMichael Gallery Drama: performance of Twelfth Night Exhilirating: debates with U.G.G., St. George ' s and Crescent Schools Odes and orations: poetry week and public speaking Nomads: Grade 4, 7, 8 trips Exchange: with Nashoba School, Concord Tree farm: at Christmas time.

This year, we had two spirit weeks - one in September and one in March, in addition to these weeks, there were games k at lunch, contests, and a Talent Show in April. It certainly || has been a busy and exciting year! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff he Junior School has always been, and probably who went out of their way to help me.

For the grads, it meant trying to get around the enormous and confusing halls of the Senior School as well as changing classes, new teachers, and the spirit of Initiation, which was a backwards experience for us. We attended our first Rout and our first away dances. Grade Ten brought the new Science Wing, the very first Branksome bazaar, and the start of the Michael Jackson Era . KAR!

Those who didn ' t sleep the whole weekend definitely suffered back at school. And, of course, Grade Eleven was the year we were allow- ed to go to the Formal for the very first time. Remember those sleepless nights spent worrying if your date would forget your flowers and force you to wear his boutiniere or if he would show up in running shoes? With Grade Twelve came a sense of responsibility and the use of the Common Room. We cherished our spares and spent time preparing for the Straw and the Mariposa, both of which we organized. The Mariposa was definitely an occasion to remember. Grade Thirteen provided us with the opportunity to leave on our spares and come late to school if we were lucky enough to have a first period spare. It also gave us a first hand look at what we call grad anxiety . CATHARINE ANIKO ViLAGHY-BROWN 1982-1987, McLeod Library Head, acta est abula. QED. Cave, adsum. Napoleon, etait-il court?

' Mmmmeditation Mrs. Earl (Top) Mrs. Kaur (Bottom) ' Hunger Pains 57 Let ' s talk! ' So that ' s how they do it! ' ' Yeah. It ' s Monday. - Buccleuch House is made up of thirteen old girls; Lorraine, Em, Shannon, Tina, Audrey, Dawn, Jenn, Michelle, Gigi, Sarah, Tory, May, and me (Lisa). This year there are also four new girls; Eva, Queenie, Maria, and myself (Yasmeen). - The girls in our house are also from many parts of the world such as Peru, Malasia, Hong Kong, Argen- tina, Bahamas, the States, Saudi Arabia, and many parts of Canada. - Lisa and I (Yasmeen) have decided to describe to you a typical day in Buccleuch House. It all begins at 7:30 a.m. at the agonizing sound of the bell. Then at ten to eight all seven of us hear the bell once more and head out to breakfast. After breakfast you will find several of us attempting to finish homework which was left undone from the evening before. Others of us trying to sneak in a few minutes of sleep. Then, once again, the sound of a bell sends us off to school. - After eating lunch, we go back to the house for a little while. Once again we hear the sound of a bell telling us to go back to school. - After school we can go out until five o ' clock when . . . another bell goes off sending us to study which begins promptly at five. At five fifty- six we may leave study for dinner, without the sound of our beloved bell. - Following dinner from seven o ' clock until eight o ' clock, we have another hour of study. When study is over, you will find everyone doing her own thing; Lorraine working or talking to Dawn; Audrey, Em, Yaz, and Lisa lined up for the phone; May, Michelle, and Eva watching T.V.; Sarah, Jenn, Queenie, and Tory listening to the stereo, etc. - We also have two more additions to Buccleuch - Robin and Christina. - Oh, by the way, Lisa and I have figured out the number of bells we hear a year and it came to . . . one thousand and ninty-five rings!

Lots of Love: Jacqueline Szeto JUNIOR CLANS fA I I Enthusiastic is the best word that can describe the Junior School this year. To begin with, the Clan Gathering was lots of fun and a great success. We played games and got to know each other better. Later in the year, we had two clan meetings where we discussed things from the colours for each clan to the Salvation Army. We can ' t forget the Clan Bake Sale that was a delicious way to raise money for the Clans. The spirit in the Junior School was tremendous this year and it made the year very special for all the chieftains. Every girl from grade one to eight had the chance to participate in a range of games and ac- tivities and sports this year, as well as to compete with the other clans. A special thanks to Mrs. Smith, Miss Cinits and Jane whose help and enthusiasm were much appreciated. SENIOR CLANS Date: December 3, 1986 Setting: Chief Sub Dinner Topic: Clan write-up Condition: stuffed, hyper, loud Okay, you guys, what do you want to put in it? The year! We have to put in the chieftain weekend. Later. Clan Bowling . . . the alleys were supreme. Spelling Bee! Clan Basket-ball and clan Christmas lunches! Best attended event? Clan Run . . wonder why? The Baking contest, trivial, drama, debating and, of course, murder-ball. Thank goodness for Madge and Ed- na. Clan Bash and Clan gathering! All that fun stuff and don ' t forget which Clan is the BEST . . . O.K. now sign your names ... no, just put Thanks from the chieftains and subs. Sub: Bay Ryley Chieftain: Mary Hermant Sub: Jane Edwards Chieftain: Heather Gellatly Chieftain: Stephanie Carrow Sub: Lara Volgyesi The tradition of Clans at Branksome Hall goes back to the school ' s inception. Each girl in the Junior and Senior School is placed on a clan with which she can identify. As a member she can participate in a variety of events within the school itself. Clan events throughout the year in- clude sports such as basket-ball, murderball, tennis and bowling. The clans compete in other areas as well such as the Clan spelling bee, clan drama and debating. Each clan elects a chieftain in grade twelve, and a sub-chieftain in grade eleven and it is these girls who are responsible for the organization of the events. Each week there is Clan Homeroom which is another chance for the girls of each clan to get to know one another. The Clan system is a valued one at Branksome as it provides opportunity for intra- mural competition as well as a fun and mean- ingful way for the girls of the school to associate with one another. Chieftain: Anthea Mars Sub: Patsy Smith Chieftain: Sarah Eliot Sub: Melonie Jamieson A L ii I p im i 1 N E i ■ II Chieftain: Hilary Wells Sub: Helen Dempster The best Clan events are those in which everybody participates. Each fall the clans hold the Clan Run - a 1 km run that can be walked, jogged or done three- legged through David Balfour Park. After the excitement of the competition prizes are awarded for the top racers in each clan. This year the Clan Run had the most support it has ever had and everyone, no matter how they completed the course, agreed that it was one of the year ' s best events!

It was begun in 1903, with an enroll- ment of 100, as The Branksome Hall Ladies ' College whose purpose was to establish and carry on a girls ' and ladies ' college . The first principals were Margaret Taylor Scott, a former teacher at The Institute of the Blind and Principal of the Toronto Presbyterian Ladies ' College, and Anne Florence Merrick. The school was first situated at 102 Bloor St. E. but was moved in 1910 to the present-day Selby Hotel. In 1912, some of the property on Elm Ave was leased for an annual sum of one dollar (which is still paid). ■ 15H fe ' RMtht tlu.- f r-OHl ■.,.1.,. „„, | «t!liiJ. fcT ttu- ' Up, «JI,jnJn. — uiinJ) |)u v4i.-.im Vlif.tuLi !- ,„tu- sir i JJCwAwr?

There is a replica of the lintel which hangs over the door of Branxholme Castle in front of Branksome ' s main building. This lintel reads, Keip veil ye rod. but we know this as Keep Well The Road . The Duke of Buccleuch unveiled this stone at Branksome in 1955 as Branxholme Castle is the traditional seat of the Duke of Buccleuch. In the early years, classes, including gym, were held in the carriage - house and the stable was the home of the Art Room and Form V. (L-R) Top: Branxholme Castle in Scotland where the Duke of Buccleuch lives. This cas- tle and the Duke are tied to Branksome Hall in many ways. Middle: Girls coming into the school building after a short recess ; The let- ter which the Queen Mother, then the Queen, sent to the school at the end of World War Two. During this war, the school housed several English students; Physical Education classes were taken outside but the gym uniforms were certainly not suitable for very many outdoor sports! Bottom: This plan of the school shows Read Acres, all of the boarding houses, and the main part of the Senior School before 1 971 . The Margaret Sime Wing has not been added and, obviously, neither has the Science Wing. It is interesting to note that the Infirmary is located on Mt. Pleasant in what used to be Scott House. Scott House was destroyed in 1983 when the Science Wing was built. 70 BRANKSOME HALL Miss Read, a Branksome principal, was the very first basketball coach and she also helped to settle the con- troversy over whether or not girls should be allowed to play tennis. Teachers and pupils roomed together and persons in the Senior House, now Bucceluch, were only allowed to speak French. During World War Two, several war guests from Harrogate College stayed at Branksome and we were honoured with a message from the Queen Mother for our hospitality. In 1964, probably the most visible (at least to people not involved with the school) part of Branksome was built - the overpass. It was first called Read Walk and it was built to allow easy access to all parts of the property. Branksome was one of the first girls ' schools in Canada to have both a good and a large Math and Science Department. The school quickly became renowned for a good all- round program with excellent after- school activities. Our sports teams have won countless competitions of which we are very proud and the teams today carry on the tradition of excellence at Branksome. Other school activities include the Opheleo Society, our service club, the Duke of Edinburgh Society and the Debating Society. The school is particularly proud of the fact that Branksome ' s Debating Team was the very first girls ' school ' s team to be in- vited to enter the Fulford league which was all male until about five years ago. We look forward to the day when Branksome will be the first girls ' school to win the Fulford Cup! N.B. Miss Sime, who helps run the Archives, was most helpful in the search for information about Branksome. We thank her for her pa- tience and diligence. (L-R) Top: The main part of the school con- tained these stairs until the 1978 renovations. As one of the only staircases in the Senior School, it was impractical for such a large number of people as it was so narrow. Mid- dle: Graduates parade around in their white dresses on the lawn. The tradition of wearing white at graduation has remained at Branksome; A cartoon from a 1950 periodical; The Common Room before the 1978 renovations contained far more fur- niture than does the Common Room of 1986! Bottom: The Blue Room, also before the 1978 renovations, was very attractively furnished and, as in present-day, it was the room where visitors to the school were taken. art literary Les lumieres minuscules piquent frequemment sur ses genoux d ' ebene, Le sifflement d ' un train brille et dechire son cantique de coquillage, L ' avion gratte une ligne crayeuse sur son front violet.

Christina Meynell grade 13 After the Party She made merry with the lunatics Drank their wine and believed their tales Danced with these demons on beds of scorching coal Lost her soul and her pride to a world of hollow dreams And now she longs to run somewhere and hide forever To extinguish her painful consciousness For the life they promised her was a lie. Marcia Rotstein grade 13 Easy Chairs An easy chair ' s where a person can sit. Sometimes people read, Many times falling asleep. On Sunday the football fans sit back and watch a game on the T.V. Mother likes to sit here and do her knitting on quiet evenings. Brother enjoys his Saturday morning cartoons, perched high upon this chair. When I sit in an easy chair, 1 just sit and think about the world and what would happen. If there were no easy chairs. Tanya Scharback grade 9 The Mirror The glass vial slipped from her bony hand. Shattering as it hit the cold, hard, real floor. Grey oriental eyes stared up at me blankly. Her bland skin folds into frail wrinkles As she attempted a smile exposing small pearl-like Teeth. Sleek black hair slides across her back. Her sick smile vanishes from her terrified face, As she, vanished from my view. My soul reflects the truth.

She fixed her concentration on the sound which took on nostalgic tones as she considered it. She drifted into memory. The village church had a small bell-tower to keep up with the old traditions still guarded there. Its bell rang now, clear and loud, proclaiming her wedding. To the beat of the bell she walked to her husband-to-be who was waiting at the altar, proud and ready to show it. She had been a catch at that. Young, hearty and educated: she would make an excellent wife and mother. She had proved herself the year before when old Mr. Jorik fell asleep in his barn with his pipe lit. Soon the whole barn was lit and the same church bell rang out peals that cried, Fire! Fire! It was a frantic, urgent yet polite bell, which supported calm, level- headed action in solving village emergencies such as this one. Considering herself an able hand, she filed into line with men and boys that stretched from the village well to Mr. Jorik ' s flaming barn. Luckily, it was only the barn that had caught fire. Mr. Jorik ' s singed beard showed that he had been on the scene at the time, and was a light sleeper. Nonetheless, the barn fire needed putting out, and buckets of water were passed hand to hand to hand to fire until the bell stopped ringing, closing that story. She could feel the heat by that great inferno, doubled by the physical work in the summer sun. She turned her mind to a cooler time, when icy winds drove the white crystal snow to cover her village in a firm blanket. It was the time for sleigh rides - sheepskins piled to your chin, baked potatoes in your pockets and sleigh bells jingling with the gallop of the horses. Those wonderful, rhythmic bells that rang out crisp and clear all winter long and end- ed when the snow thawed . . . And children poured out of the one room schoolhouse in waves of giggles, stamping the slush with their new spring boots - those who were lucky enough to have them. The rest got cold feet. but for a good cause. Girls piled into one end of the schoolyard, boys into the other. By the end of recess, though, she would be pitching slush balls at any and every him in range, dodging their missiles with as much luck as agility. All this was ended by the school-mistress ringing the school bell. She rang methodically, hefting the bell into the air with both hands to ensure a loud, clear ring that would penetrate the children ' s games and convince even the most uncertain student that she meant business. The grandfather clock down the hall chimed three in the morning, sounding simultaneously with the neverending bells in her head. She ' d lived by a bell all her life, and realized she ' d die by this bell she heard now. That was what it meant; it reminded her of: the end, and a new beginning. Aloud she said to herself, Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for me. Kathi Vilaghy-Brown 77 Homestead - Catherine Matthews P. This is a true story written by a Cree Indian. Cree People are indians. What do some Cree People do for a living? How do they live? There are about 200 or 300 people liv- ing in one village who live in houses that were made by whitemen. A lot of these people work in the Band office, clinic and the school. A lot of them have , no jobs and they always leave the - village to camp at some place i else. They only get back on special occasions like Christmas and once the occasion is over they go back to their camps. These people who stay at camps, travel a lot to see some other .places and they want to know ' s|what it ' s like to travel a lot, but ithe people that are at the village, ' always live in that village because of their jobs. From April to May, a lot of Cree People have holidays because of the Goose Break. Goose Break is a time when almost every one leaves the village to go camping for at least one month. That ' s l when the geese fly up north and the people kill them. There are at least fifty people who aren ' t going to camp: they stay there, so that they can put some of the geese in .the freezers when the campers ■ end them to the village by jifelicopter. ; |u. j f A lot of people are still living in Sthe old way In camps but a lot of ithem live in the village. At one Wcamp there are at least three |families living together, so they I ' help each other. And these peo- iple use canoes and ski-doos or a .dogs wj-th.. leds How sortie Cree People Live for travelling around. These peo- ple live in tee-pees. How do they make tee-pees? The first thing they do is look for a dry place where there aren ' t many rocks on the ground. Then they get very thin trees to make poles out of them. They tie at least three poles together at one end and then they put them up. Once the tee-pee is done, they put canvas all around it. While the men are still making this tee-pee, the women go to get boughs which are used to cover up the ground in the tee-pee. The women are back when the men have finished, so they get inside the tee-pee with the boughs. They put the boughs one by one in a row around the outside of the cir- cle. They do one row first and then another, and they finish at almost the middle of the tee-pee. The middle is not covered as that ' s where the fire place will be. When the tee-pee is all done, the men chop wood for the fireplace. The wood is a bit far from where the tee-pee is, because they put the wood together in piles in the woods where they cut it. The women bring their things into the tee-pee. And once everything that they need is inside, they start the Usually when there are two families living together, one fami- ly has half of the tee-pee and the other family has the other half. In the winter, they get their water by snow. In the summer, they get it m a place where there is a big rock where rainwater has col- lected. Once they settle down in that camp, the men start to hunt fWild animals. They leave their camp at about six in the morning and get back at seven in the even- ing. When they think they have enough food for two to four weeks, they stop for a while. The men never stay in the tee-pee during the day except to eat, because they don ' t want to be in the women ' s way while they work. Like the men, the women work every day and some women hunt, too. They clean the animals or skins that their husbands killed. Sometimes they spend their time sewing things for their husbands, children (e.g. gloves). When they have a daughter who is around thirteen years old and over, they let her do the cleaning up, and cooking, do the dishes, make tea or coffee, bring water or snow, take wood inside and also babysit whenever the mother goes out chopping wood or getting bougns. Whenever their daughter doesn ' t have anything to do, the mother teaches her how to do things like sewing. And on weekends when there is nothing to do, the woman or the daughter washes the laundry, using her hands and a washing boii aqd tub. I A lot of people don ' t really like living in the Cree way anymore because there are too many white people teaching these Cree peo- ple their own way of life. And a lot of these Cree people are in- terested in living in a city. There are lots of white people who are interested in the way Cree people live. A lot of these white people go to camps now or marry Cree people so that the y car] Miye a Cree way of life. Mireille Carrillo de Albornoz. Portrait of Abraham Lincoln, pastel. Grade 12.

Red is the colour of the Cross-Country and Track run- ners after they have climbed 10 hills and 4 countless ladders. Green is the colour the swimmers turn in practices after completing the 65-lap warm-up. Black is the colour of the hockey players ' bodies after a rough game. White is the colour of the badminton players ' faces when they run up and down the stairs and skip rope at 7:30 a.m. So, it can truthfully be said that Branksome ' s colours are always visible in the fight! And it is the determination and dedication of all the Branksome ' s athletes that have made our teams excel in so many sports. So far this year, Branksome has captured the Bishop ' s Cup, sent runners from Cross- Country to OFSAA in North Bay, and won countless regular-season games. We look forward to a successful year and a successful future. Thanks must go to all of the coaches and supporters. Janet Anthony Junior Sports Captain As Junior School Sports Captain, I ' ve had a great time but it ' s been hard work! The Junior School is full of enthusiastic, hard-working people from Grade One all the way to the staff. I would like to thank Mrs. Georgievski, Miss Cinits, and Mrs. Smith for organizing all the events in the Junior School. Also, the chieftains were great - you are a lot of fun! The Junior School Prefect, Jane, was also really helpful and she spent a lot of time with us in the Junior School. The sports teams this year were really exciting to play on and to watch. The players who move up to the Senior School will be sure to get on the senior teams! Good luck to everyone in the future and keep up the good support in the Junior School. Thanks to everyone for making this such a terrific year. Kathleen Williams 1 Intramural Head Intramural Sports is really a fancy name for our clan system. The clans compete in a wide range of activities ranging from basketball to baking and debating to Trivial Pursuit. This year, the chieftains have in- troduced a wide variety of leisure sports, most notably bowling. This turned out to be hugely successful as did the Clan Run. This event was made compulsory this year and, while everyone grumbled about it at first, those who turn- ed out had a great time. And, of course, the clan dinners, which were held in the fall, had another large turn-out. There are six clans in the Junior School and twelve co-chieftains. In the Senior School, there are eight clans with a chieftain who is in Grade Twelve and a sub- chieftain who is in Grade Eleven. In the Junior School, the chief- tains are elected by the staff while the elections are open to the students in the Senior School. The clan system is a unique part of Branksome and it is vital in main- taining a unity between all the students both in Senior and Junior School. Thanks to all the chieftains and subs.

Many thanks to Miss Cinits, who was a super coach. Well played! -Jessica Smith and Sam Bramson - The 16 ' s Senior Tennis Team had a very successful season, defeating most of the competition easily. B.S.S. proved to be our most difficult challenger. However, we narrowly pulled ahead in the end. The team worked very hard at practices both to improve its skills and its strategy.

Senior Team SOCCER 13 and Under Team This year ' s Junior Soccer Team consisted of sixteen girls in Grade Four to Grade Nine. During the season, a total of eight games were played and we won one, tied three, and lost the rest. Despite the losses, everyone on the team had a good time and learned a lot about playing on a team. Many thanks to our coach, Mrs. Gratias, who inspired us and made the practices fun. The team would also like to recognize the Grade Four Cheering Club who came out to almost every game to support the Branksome Junior Soccer Team. Sarah Parkinson The Senior Soccer Team of 1 986 was one of the best that Branksome has ever seen. After many hours of hard prac- tice in the early hours of the morning, we battled ahead to be undefeated in the league. Scores varied from an easy 9-0 win to a tough 2-1 victory. For the first time in many years, Branksome ' s team made it to the play-offs. However, we suffered a disappointing loss against St. Joe ' s Morrow Park in the first game which definitely did not reflect our good season. Thanks to Mr. Blake and Mr. McVay who put in many hours coaching the team. Colleen Silver 1 v TRACK AND FIELD The Track and Field teams in both the Senior and the Junior schools are teams of highly dedicated and self-motivated girls. Track and Field athletes are a special group who are willing to train at all times of the day and week and during all elements of nature. From 7:30 am practices to Track meets that can last up to twelve hours, these girls are will- ing to do it all. Be it distance or sprint running, high-jump or shot put, whatever the event, the members of the Branksome Track and Field Teams participate in them all. With the enthusiasm, en- couragement and expertise of the Physical Educa- tion Department, the Branksome teams have con- tinued their tradition of keeping up a high standard of performance which pays off in the city and pro- vincial track meets that the girls compete in.

Everyone came out to all the practices and contributed to our successful season. Our first game of the season was played after a morning of solid rain. We had a close game with Havergal and came out very muddy but also with a winning score. Unfortunately, we played Havergal later on in the season and they defeated us. We also played against B.S.S. and St. Clement ' s and won both games. The team participated in the School Girls ' Tournament at Sunnybrook Park, which is put on by the Woman ' s Field Hockey Association annual- ly. This was not a competitive tournament but we played well as a team and gave our opponents a very tough match. Well done team!

Our 1 6 ' s team was strong but, unfortunately, other teams were stronger. Halfway through the season, the team seemed to become accident prone. Various injuries, including dislocated fingers, sprained ankles, and twisted knees, took their toll on the team. However, we managed to pull it all together for our last game in which we defeated T.F.S. 54-12. Thanks to our coach, Mrs. Glennie.

The Twelve ' s and Thirteen ' s Basketball Team really enjoyed playing this year.

We especially enjoyed ourselves at Havergal where we played the first game of the season - it was quite an afternoon! At St. Mildred ' s we were surprised to see that they had a carpeted gym.

These are the sounds you would hear if you listened to the grade seven and eight cross- country team practices early in the morning. We met at 7:30am Thursday and Friday mor- nings and after school on Tuesdays. We went to many meets and managed to do quite well. Despite the mud, sweat, agony and having to return to Branksome without taking showers (not to mention the classes we missed), we had lots of fun! We would like to thank Mrs. Georgievski for encouraging us to go on, even when we didn ' t think that we could make it. She was always there when we needed her. We would also like to thank Mrs. Hardie for coming out to all those early morning jogs. We had a great time! See you next year. Sasha Velikov and Deidre Snelgrove See How They Run . . . Cross-country runners must endure gruelling hills, sloshy mud, hot cornfields, woodchip paths, open grassy fields and rocky beaches. The Branksome cross-country team braved all these elements and had fantastic results. The before and after school practices had their rewards, as we managed to maintain the school ' s fine reputation in this sport. The team competed in the usual races at T.C.S., St.Martin ' s, I.S.G.A.A. and the T.D.C.A.A., and we also tried the Boardwalk Relays for the first time. Once again at the Private School meet, we held our title undefeated by clinching first place in every age category. Congratulations to Janet Anthony, Nancy MacDonald and Melony Jamieson who com- peted at O.F.S.A.A. in North Bay. Four girls also travelled to Rochester, New York to compete in the largest high school meet in the United States. We owe great thanks for our successful season, to our indefatigable coaches, Mrs. Kizoff and Mrs. Cheeseman who were at the 7:30am practices, even if we weren ' t. -Danielle Miller- ROWING We wish this wouldn ' t end, they said. The joy, the pain, the tears we ' ve shed. The sweat and strain, the feelings shared. The burning flame ' til hearts are bared. They came to row; each apart. One by one by one to start. Nine they were a separate few. They came to mold and shape a crew. The nine apart began to grow. Each by, each began to know The others ' strength, the others ' heart And none was quite like at the start. They pulled together through the dawn. And through their sharing, they did spawn Another life, a life brand new. The nine became a Branksome crew. As one they move, as one they strain. As one they feel each other ' s pain. As one they pull when stop they might. As one they grit their teeth and fight. For a wink of time the nine dissolved And melted into one evolved. And in that time they observed a view Reserved for just a special few. They changed their lives to something new: The nine became a Branksome crew. - Dennis James - (Father of a rower) Though rowing is a strenuous sport that requires dedication and will-power, does have its rewards - exercise, companionship and great looking guys! SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING (L - R) Jacqui Macauley, Shelagh Sturtridge, Chantal Coury, Carol Martin, Shawna Cass, Susan Beyers, Claire Prendergast, Samantha McLaren VOLLEYBALL Twelve ' s The try-outs for the Synchro Team this year were very successful. After long consideration, our team of nine girls was chosen. We worked very hard during school and weekends, preparing for the syn- chro competition which was held this year in Oakville. We were also preparing for the Annual Swim Show in May. I ' d like to thank the entire team for their constant effort and Mrs. Lumsdon for her dedication and patience.

Spike, bump, smash, tip, block, set, rally, volley - these were the instructions given at every practice by our faithful coach, Mrs. Jennings. This Fifteen ' s team could beat any team in sight and their style was not matched by anyone. The early morning and afterschool practices were hard work, yet no one minded them because we enjoyed them. Thanks to everyone involved with the team. Nancy Kitchen The 16 ' s First Volleyball team was fantastic! Each game was unique, from Merton ' s gym that was ten feet too short, to the annihilation of the competition (1 5-2, 1 5-4). Our team was aggressive and powerful, especially Ros ' chair breaking serves. Karen and Emily deserve thanks for their precise sets and their agility. Thank-you, Col- leen, for the excellent logo on our team shirts. A special thank-you to Mrs. Cheeseman, our dedicated coach.

She is really fantastic and we thank her for her cheerfulness at practices and at games. Thanks to Mrs. Kizoff, the team has made a real improvement and we ' ve become a real threat to the other schools. We have not played very many games, yet, but the season looks very exciting and potentially rewarding. Once again, thanks to Mrs. Kizoff and all the supporters.

Special thanks to Ginny Luks, the creative designer of the crest on our team sweat out- fits. What a woman! In case you were wondering, much credit is due to our super coach, Mrs. Joan Lumsdon. She got us all into the pool three mornings every week at seven thirty and she won ' t stand for any nonsense if you don ' t show up. Thanks to everyone for a tremendous year. Avery Bassett (Captain) Avery BasseU received the Bishop ' s Cup. ICE HOCKEY She Shoots, She Scores . . . and I opened the box and it was not the blue and white of the Toronto Maple Leafs but the dreaded white, red, green, and black of the Branksome Hall Kilt Pins! Skates flashing and sticks swinging, the fearless girls were once again undefeated, perhaps making the longest winning streak in hockey history. The coaches, Gordie Rocket and Mrs. Glennie, worked long, hard hours, using the latest video equipment to create a team that would rival any of those in the Soviet Union. Their motto? Stanley Cup or bust! Heather Cartwright (aka Guy Lafleur) On a more serious note, the Branksome Hockey Team is one of the most successful teams that Branksome has ever had. They have won every game they have ever played in their almost decade-long history. Perhaps one day, we ' ll be able to play the boys teams and show them what hockey is all about!

SKI TEAM Branksome ' s Ski Team i s made up of a very dedicated group of girls who love to ski! The team practices mostly on an individual basis because it is difficult to schedule weekly practices in Barrie. OFSAA takes place later in the season so we cannot yet predict our final standing as everything depends on the final races. On the team, we have some very talented skiers, some of whom are sure to make a name for themselves later on. The whole team would like to thank Miss Popper for her dedication and we hope to make Branksome proud of us and win OFSAA for the second year in a row.

Just a few weeks after this win, Branksome won the first round of the Fuiford Cup, perhaps the most prestigious tournament in Ontario and one to which girls were only very recently invited. Once again, Branksome defeated U.C.C, this time by a greater number of points. Shown above are the debaters who participated in these wins. 100 The B.H. Debating Society ' s members have successfully argued their way past such schools as U.C.C, U.T.S., and S.A.C. to win such tournaments as the Toronto French School Invitational, the St. George ' s College Challenge Saucer, the first round of the three part Fuiford Cup and they placed very well in the National Independent Schools Public Speaking Tourna- ment held this year in Duncan, B.C.. The Fuiford Cup could, for the first time in its long history, have the name of a girls ' school engraved on it. Although only a few girls can com- pete in any one tournament, the en- tire society collaborates on Tuesdays to help with brainstorming sessions and constructive criticism, as well as to hold practice debates for the peo- ple who will soon be ready for tournaments. I would like to say thanx to all the people who made the effort to join the Debating Society and to those who trekked to watch debates. Their contribution is much appreciated, even if we don ' t tell them enough. A very special thank you to Jennifer Griffiths and Emma Loewen who worked extremely hard behind the scenes all year at the Junior School to establish an extraordinary junior debating program for our young debaters. Mrs. Zommers and Mrs. McRae gave up, for yet another year, many Tues- day lunch hours, mornings, after- noons and Saturdays to coach the debaters. Their time is valuable and cherished by all. The executives, Jane Edwards and Jennifer Griffiths and I, are proud to have helped Branksome take another giant leap in debating, maintaining the high standard of ex- cellence which is a tradition here. Remember though: it is better to have argued a point and lost, than never to have argued at all! Keep up the gift of the gab. Susan Sandford Senior Writing Club This year, the Writing Club has been substantially smaller than in the past. However, its members have been dedicated and hard-working, as have been our staff leaders. Miss Camp- bell and Mrs. Weinstock. Miss Campbell, a recent Branksome grad, taught English and headed-up the Writing Club until Mrs. Weinstock returned in February. The Writing Club members all enjoy writing although some prefer prose to poetry. The pieces that are written vary from dramatic to melancholic to humourous - each person con- tributes something of her own style to the group and this results in in- teresting meetings. We encourage people to join the Writing Club whether English is their best subject or whether they are scientists at heart. Anne Roe The Junior Writing Club is made up of Grade Seven and Eight ' s and Mrs. Provan leads the group. We write short stories, poems, and plays. Dur- ing the year, we have also learned how to use a computer and how to set up a newspaper. We hope to pro- duce a magazine with the best of our year ' s work at the end of the year. The club meets on Monday ' s from 3:30 to 4:30 and we ' re always look- ing for new members. (L-R) Back Row: Mrs. Winestock, A. Harrison, K. Anderson, ). Binstock, L. Wood, K. Wood, A. Roe.

During the past few months, we have had Mr. Peters come to discuss his trip to Papua, New Guinea; Miss Kane joined us to talk about her year-long sabbatical; Miss Hurley informed us about the con- dition of the ecosystem after destruction of acid rain; Dr. and Mrs. Dyack showed slides and discussed the seven years they spent in Saudi Arabia. One of the most exciting speakers was a seventeen year old exchange student from Spain who gave us his impressions of Canada. Other speakers have been Mr. Erb, Mrs. Shelton, and Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson. They spoke about Toronto ' s street children, New Zealand, and India respective- ly. The Public Affairs meetings are arranged by Miss Bell and Mrs. Waugh and we thank them for allowing us to experience some of the excitement of the outside world through these speakers. Kate Hartnett 101 Audio-Visual Club Every morning, bright and early, a distinct rumbling is heard at Branksome Hall: Lisa Mak and executive microphone mechanics are rolling out the overhead projector and wiring the microphone for prayers. With the help of many loyal Grade Twelves, prayers is a breeze! Thank you for all your help, Lisa! Also, thanks to Mr. Bickle and Miss Brown who made our mornings much more enjoyable and lively with their marvellous piano playing. Emily Long Parent-Teachers ' Association The Executive of the Parents ' Associa- tion, including President Shirley Smith, Miss Roach, Miss Brough, teachers and parents, met almost every month to discuss such things as school activities, fund raising, committee reports and our new newsletter, The Branksome Byline . Alumnae Representatives We have really enjoyed being the Alumnae Representatives this year. As Representatives, we kept the Alumnae members involved and up to date with school eve nts while reminding the student body of the work done by the Alumnae. The monthly meetings were always fun and we quickly learned how caring and devoted the Alumnae members are. The Alumnae participated in the Bazaar this year, as well as in the annual Fall Art Show. The Alumnae is responsible for raising money for bursaries, among other things, and is indeed an asset to Branksome Hall. We send our thanks and best wishes to the Alumnae. -Joanna Bancroft and Robynne Bradshaw- It was interesting to be a part of this im- portant association and to be able to ex- press my opinion on different ideas. I learned many things about Branksome that most students are not aware of. I ' ve enjoyed being the liaison between the student Body and the Parents ' Association. Seana Massey. Bazaar The Branksome Bazaar was held for the third year on November 28. During the fall, clan and school workshops produced an abundance of goods to sell in- cluding magnets, datebooks, and baked goods. Thanks to everyone on the Decorations Committee, who did a fabulous job on the tea-room and the gym, and to everyone who supported the Bazaar in any way. Christina Zeidler i2 OO 102 Junior Science Club Blue jelly, cat hair and ebony. Pop- corn seeds sprouting and metal burn- ing. These are just some of the things that you might find at the Science Club. This club, for Grades Four, Five, and Six, meets every Thursday in the Junior Science Lab with Mrs. Bunting and Mrs. Proctor. It has turn- ed out to be very exciting. We went to a pet store to buy a few reptiles and crickets. We have planted popcorn, radish and bean seeds. We ha ve made our own ter- rariums and conducted experiments such as creating static electricity and making crystals. The most interesting thing about the Science Club is be- ing able to work in the lab and to ex- plore the scientific world. Daphne Nesbitt Senior Chess Club Branksome has a Chess Club which, for the first time, is participating in tournaments with other Toronto schools. The Chess Club meets every Monday at 3:30 and the student members are fortunate to have Mrs. Blake, Mr. McVay, and Mrs. Tuer- Bousfield as advisors. They have pro- ven to be very good at providing strategy for the chess players to use in the tournaments. Thank you to all of the dedicated players and supporters.

A group of students working long hours preparing itself for an evening of one-act plays and the even more difficult task of theatre in the round. This endeavor was a grand success. The four one-act plays performed were Something Unspoken , Mother Figure , Romeo and Juliet , and our own Improvisational Piece. Many thanks to the cast of these productions. Act 1 1 - Now Picture This!! Another group of students working very hard from September to March producing the musical The Pajama Game . With many interruptions, the show did go on. It was incredible. Again, thanks to the cast. These shows could not have been possible without the dedication of the crew, Jane, Chantal, and Rachel. A special thanks to Mr. Bickle, Miss Friend, Mr. MacGregor, Mrs. Prendergast and especially Mrs. Smith. The rest is silence . Brenda Wyma Duke of Edinburgh Club The Duke of Edinburgh Club goes on many expeditions during the year, one of which is a weekend on The Brigantine. Students also go winter camping, rock climbing, and long distance cycling. The Duke of Edinburgh program requires that each participant do ser- vice in the community, pass specific physical tests and pursue a hobby for a specified amount of time. It was a great start to the year for the Duke of Edinburgh ' s Award Pro- gramme, with our largest enrollment ever. We met Mondays at lunch to discuss our work, and each person ' s progress. Ten of the new girls to the programme participated in our first expedition of the year-sailing on the Brigantine with U.C.C. Our next ex- pedition was a bike hike to the Lake Simcoe area. All together it was a pretty full fall for the group. Oh - and don ' t forget the Cadbury ' s chocolate bars we all sold. They really hit the Junior French Club spot! In January and February we had more expeditions up to the icy land of Algonquin Park, where temperatures can fall to forty degrees below zero!! The programme is both educational and fun, and continues to be a great success! Congratulations to all those who received their awards this year! by: Jenny Stephenson The French Club met on Tuesday afternoons. Our teachers were Mme. Dean and Mile Ardito. They always helped us with any problems we had In French. When we met, we played card games and board games in French, which helped us learn more French. The club began in September and finished at the Christmas break. Thanks to Mme. Dean and Mile Ardito for making learning French fun! Angle Portner 106 The Kilt Press The sprawling newspaper office (the Kilt Press room) was empty except for the six people seated around the desk by the huge picture window (reclining on the couch). They all jumped slightly, then smiled, as the magnum of champagne was uncorked (pop can fizzed over). One of the editors rose and said, On this the comple- tion of our final issue, I feel that several toasts need to be made. The rest nodded in agreement and watched the movements of the paper cup as the speaker gestured. To the constant support and encouragement that was given to us by our supervisor - Mrs. Blake; to the printer who makes our paper possible - Mrs. Emery; to our con- tributing journalists and photographers, at home and abroad (all Kilt Press contributors, literary and artistic, in both the Senior and Junior School); to the hard work and overtime put in by our departmental executives - our deepest thanks. (Cheers! Parte!) All sipped pensively (Tory knocked over her Diet Coke) and as a year-long inside joke was mentioned (a special thanks to Lustre-Sheen), they laughed quietly.

Its members had a prosperous and fruitful year and the Library flourished as predicted. It happily hosted the green- kilted, studious, curious and interested folk anytime they came to visit it, especially at its new opening time, the lunch-hour. This year ' s new carpeting and computer system also added to the excitement. But best of all was the great response to ' Buy a Book for Branksome ' by staff, students and parents, from which the Library ' s treasures were much expanded. We, the Library Co- Heads, would like to thank Mrs. Dick and Mrs. Beech for their guidance, the Library Club for its dedication and hard work and Branksome for its support and interest. Kathi Vilaghy-Brown and Deedee Poulton - P.S. Support your local brain cells (and the B.H. Library) - READ! The Holiday Hi-Jinks Club meets every Tuesday after- noon from 3:30 until 4:30. The things we do usually have something to do with the season or holiday. In the first term, we made things which had to do with Hallo- ween and Christmas. We make things with food. We do art work. And, most of all, we use our imaginations. We have fun talking and laughing with Miss Wren and Miss Kane, our staff supervisors. They are always in a good mood. We, Grade Five and Six, would like to thank them a lot. Jennifer Lewis 107 Senior Choir This picture of the Choir was taken at Trinity College School in Port Hope before the Trinity College Carol Service. The Branksome Hall Choir was invited to take part in Trinity ' s service in which we sang with the T.C.S. choir and also by ourselves. The service was significantly different from Branksome ' s - the whole congregation held candles during the last part of the service. T.C.S. will participate in Branksome ' s Spring Con- cert. Our thanks to Mr. Bickle for arranging this exchange of choirs. The Senior School Choir in brief . . . Sept. 17 Recruitment: We had over sixty enthusiastic and talented members. 25-28 Choir weekend at Camp Coochiching near Orilla. It was a fun, working weekend.

Anna-Marie Apau (President) 108 Junior Choir The grade 4 to 8 choir meets every Monday from 3:30 to 4:30 in Mrs. Willingham ' s music room. We sing a variety of songs, including songs in foreign languages, Christmas Carols and classical music. We have lots of fun and appre ciate all of Mrs. Will- ingham ' s time and effort. Thanks for a SUPER year! Sara Pickersgi Becky Brown and The Junior Choir is extremely large this year and is open to girls in Grade Four to Grade Eight. We perform at the Carol Service and at several other school events. Many members of the Junior Choir also belong to various smaller groups of singers but the Junior Choir is the largest singing group in the Junior School. Many members of the Junior Choir will go on to take part in the extensive music programmes in the Senior School. The Music Club in the Senior School does not have regular members: Instead, we encourage girls from all grades to participate in the Music Show or to perform in Prayers. The Music Show is held every year in the spring and it provides an opportunity for students to perform in front of a select audience of parents, staff and students. The performers are a mixture of vocal and instrumental and use music which varies from classical to pop. The performances in Prayers often introduce the student body to a new talent in the school or inspire others to share their talents. This year, the introduction of the Staff Choir and the wonderful after- noon concert which was put on by the Music Department have pro- vided Branksome with a new appreciation for the talents of the staff. We hope that they, too, will be encouraged to be members of the Music Club and to continue to share their gifts with the school. The Music Club Senior Chamber Choir (L-R) Back Row: Kathleen Weldon, Tashie Perrin, Stephanie Nobbs, Jean Prichard, Melanie Bright. Front Row: Maria Lundin, Melissa Miller, Claire Moorsom, Jalyn Kennedy, Erin Pollock What do you call a group of twelve girls who practice after school on Mondays and lunch hours on Tuesdays? The group is the Senior Chamber Choir and it is made up of twelve crazy ladies who are chosen by Mr. Bickle from the members of the Senior Choir after a series of auditions. Our members range from junior Chamber Choir Grade Nine to Grade Thirteen and all of the year ' s members had lots of fun working on some rather difficult material. The Chamber Choir per- formed at Casa Loma and at the Carol Service as well as at other events throughout the year. Thank you, Mr. Bickle, for all your time and energy. We ap- preciate your expertise and all the carefully chosen music you pro- vide us with. Thanks also must go to all you great singing girls. Remember: ALTOS LIVE! Stephanie Nobbs The Junior Chamber Choir has met during lunch hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays to practice. Throughout the year we sang at senior citizens ' homes, various concerts at Branksome and at the Independent Schools ' Music Festival (I.S.M.F.) in April. The Junior Chamber Choir also took an active role in the Junior School ' s musical, Godspell. The group would like to thank both our President, Tara Lychak, and our Director, Mrs. Willingham. Mrs. Willingham, especially, deserves our thanks as she is the one who prepares all our music and arranges our concerts. Gillian AvRuskin Saxophone Choir The Saxophone Choir met every Thursday to explore repetoire from the Baroque, Classical and Modern eras. It was an opportunity to learn balance, technique and growth in a small group. We expanded our knowledge of music to in- clude such things as jazz and swing. One of our objectives this year was to start a stage band. Many thanks to Mr. Crawford for all his support. Tashie Perrin Flute Choir Every Tuesday and Thursday a devoted, little group of happy flute players met to jam out the joyous sounds of classical (and not so classical) flute music. Under the capable guidance of Miss French, the Flute Choir is a great way to end a school day. Not only did everyone ' s own playing improve, but we learned how to work better as a group. Good luck to the rising stars! And thanks again to Miss French. Hayley AvRuskin Brass Choir The Brass Choir rehearsed every Tuesday and Friday during lunch hour. At this time, we tried to blend the ten brass players into a capable ensemble. Our repetoire included pieces from the Canadian Brass and the Church as well as more modern selections. We were fortunate enough to be able to play in the Carol Service and at other such func- tions. We were invited to play dur- ing one lunch hour at the Manulife Building and we participated in the band Spring and Christmas concerts. Everyone in the Brass Choir would like to express their appreciation of all the work that Mr. Crawford puts in to make all facets of the band a success. Jen Weiss The Band At 7:30 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday morning one could see fifty-five sleepy-eyed, green clad girls shuffling along the sidewalk of Elm Ave. Why? It was a BAND MORNING. Yes, this is what a band member had to face. Music was quickly memorized as no one could really open their eyes at that hour! On other early mornings and some afternoons, after a day at school, smaller groups, such as the sax- ophone, clarinet, brass and flute choirs, would meet. Branksome band members could also be found at private lessons and other activities such as the independent Schools Music Festival and exchanges with other schools. This constant dedica- tion paid off as it resulted in a first class concert band held together by our ever capable leader, Mr. Crawford, who is ' instrumental ' in the continuous improvement of Branksome ' s Senior Band. This past year has been great and we can hard- ly wait for what ' s ahead! Kathleen Weldon Clarinet Choir The Clarinet Choir is one of the very exciting ensembles at Branksome this year. Mr. Crawford is our conductor and he spends Wednesday mornings with us to work on technique. All of the members of the Clarinet Choir are in the band but we enjoy working without the percussion and brass sec- tions! This year we have contributed to the Branksome community in many ways and we would like to express our thanks to Mr. Crawford for all his dedication. Allison Zwingenberger (L-R) Back Row: Margaret Campbell, Hilary Wells, Veronica Sherk, Andrea Smith, Rachel Stewart. Front Row: T.j. Turner, Suzanne Crysdale, Allison Zwingenberger Junior Guitar Club The Guitar Club met on Wednesday mor- nings for half an hour to practice. The club is open to girls in Grade One to Grade Eight. We have had a very successful year as the members of the club are all very keen. In the first term, we performed in front of the Junior School in prayers. We also hope to play in the Senior School sometime this year. We would like to thank Miss Wren, our teacher. She helped us learn about the guitar and taught us some fun songs. She is always very helpful and patient with the people who are just learning. Don ' t forget those strums!

Front Row: Andrea Wahbe, Katie Earle, Stephanie Lee, Arundel Strathy Junior Drama Club Senior Photo Club The Grade Seven and Eight Drama Club has prov- en to be a great success this year. Not only is it large but it is very good. We work under the direc- tion of Miriam Laurence who has taught us skills in Improvisation. These skills helped us in our annual Shakespearian play which was Two Gentlemen of Verona this year. We not only had fun acting out all the parts but we learned a lot about the kind of team effort it takes to put on a play. Thank you, Miriam. Junior Art Club The Art Club is for Grades Five and Six girls who are interested in making crafts. We meet after school on Mondays and make things like Christmas cards and bleached paper with Mrs. Clare. Karen Sutton (L-R) Back Row: Helen Bredin, Katie Macauley, Andrea Papas, Brigitte Kopas.

The following pictures were taken by the Photo Club. 113 Opheleo Opheleo is a Greek word which means I serve and, appropriately, Branksome has chosen this as the name for our service club. The girls who are in- volved with Opheleo often volunteer to work with various charities through Branksome and most of Branksome becomes involved with Opheleo whether it be through actual service or through buying chocolate almonds or bunnies. Branksome ' s Opheleo Society supports over twen- ty charities, including the Cancer Society and the Salvation Army. We supported the food drive held by various charities at Christmas and managed to give many families in Toronto food and small gifts for Christmas. We also helped at the Children ' s Aid Carnival which is held every year in the fall and we sent people to help with the phoning for the Diabetes Foundation. The community really needs and appreciates the work that Branksome does through Opheleo. We would like to thank everyone who helped with Ramabai Week, sold chocolate almonds and bun- nies, and brought in canned goods at Christmas. It is probable that this group of people includes everyone in attendance at Branksome and, if so, then we accomplished what we set out to do - get the whole school involved with Opheleo. Martha and Katie Cooking Club The Cooking Club is for Grades Seven and Eight and it meets Thursdays. Mrs. Thomson, Miss Northgrave, and several Senior School volunteers organize the group a nd help them to prepare the items being cooked. In the past term, we have made pizza, cookies, muffins, and other quick snack foods. However, we are also learning how to prepare more difficult things and, at the end of the year, we are having a final dinner in which we do all the cooking.

We play at the Bloor Valley Club with half the club playing on Tuesday and the other half playing on Thursday. Once again, Mrs. MacLellan has arranged all the tour- naments we have had among ourselves and she has also ar- ranged all the sessions at the Sherbourne Club. We thank her and all the instructors at the Club for all their patience. 114 ACTIVITIES THE FORMAL 117 1986 118 1987 1986-1987 was a year of fads and fashions. Compact Disc players hit the market in a big way, and many special albums were released on CD. Crack hit the news as another deadly drug, and the AIDS scare raised many questions to the world. Spitting Image hit North American television, and Rick Hanson ' s Man In Mo- tion Tour was completed. Platoon was a box office hit, and the revival of 60 ' s music and fashions continued. (L-R) Top: John the Brat McEnroe and Tatum O ' Neal finally get married shortly after the birth of their daughter; The New York Mets win the World Series; Middle: Imelda Marcos had enough shoes for the whole Philippines: Paul Simon returned to the spotlight with his hit comeback album; Paul Hogan starred as Crocodile Dundee and started the trend of Australian influence: Bottom: Whitney Houston is named female singer of the year at the Grammys; and Rock and Roll sees the death of the legendary Ricky Nelson. BRANKSOME: 1986-1987 September Mrs. McRae joins countless staff and students back at Branksome for the first day of school. As ex- cited as always to be back at school (!), suntanned girls filled the halls with giggles once again. Those eighty-three days of vaca- tion sure went quickly . . . Grade Nine Initiation required that each girl wear a bag on her head and keep her uniform on backwards for the whole day. Any time anyone saw a prefect, she had to bow down and praise her! The Grade Eleven trip to Glen Bernard went off well again this year and just about the whole grade spent a cold and wet but fun-filled weekend hiking, canoe- ing, sailing, and running. Quite a few people tried things they had never done before such as ar- chery. Thanks to the Gym Depart- ment for organizing this. October 10 was the Installation at Rosedale United Church. As usual, it was a beautifully sunny day but it was very cold. Our guest speaker was Gay Guthrie, a former BH student, who talked about life in the ' outside world ' for today ' s graduates. The Mother-Daughter Tea took place early in the month and the mothers spent an hour mingling in our sunny quadrangle. Later in October, the Chieftains organized the annual Clan Run at David Balfour Park. This year, over two hundred people attended giving all the clans a large repre- sentation. The CBC ' s hit show Seeing Things filmed a segment at Branksome this fall. Those who didn ' t know about the filming definitely got a surprise when they saw Louis del Grande at the Junior School! This year, the BH prefects came up with a new idea to promote inter-school activities - The Autumn Games. Eight separate schools in total participated with one girls ' school pairing up with one boys ' school. Branksome and St. Andrew ' s were one team and we did very well in placing se- cond. C.S.S. (Crescent and B.S.S.) came first and certainly were one of the more spirited combina- tions. Hundreds of supporters from all the schools crowded into our Lower Field to cheer their teams on. The competitors had to run, jump over tires, ride tricycles, swim, skip, and hop. The race course, went through both the Senior and Junior School and ended with a long-distance run in the Lower Field. Ramabai Week raised over two thousand dollars for various charities and ended with a Grub Day. November The Rout, which was held on the first Saturday in November, was tremendously successful. Groups of girls from all of the senior grades came to see the boys and dance to the music played by the Lighthouse Disc Jockey Service. This fall, Branksome ' s Grade Thir- teens were indeed fortunate to be addressed by Val Mulkerns, a world renowned author from Ireland. This November, several grades did some travelling - Grade Seven went to Quebec City, Grade Nine went to Ottawa, and Grade Eight went to Washington. in Ottawa, Grade Nine went to Rideau House, the residence of the Governor-General, the House of Commons, and the R.C.M.P. stables. On their trip, they met with John Bosley, Senator Renaude Lapointe, Madame Justice Bertha Wilson, Barbara McDougall, David Crombie, and Mr. Jean Charest. Perhaps the most exciting thing about this trip was the photo session that the Grade Nines had with the Prime Minister Mulroney. Shown above is a picture from that session. The Grade Sevens also travelled in Canada, but further east than Ottawa, to Quebec City. There, they visited the fabulous Notre Dame, the fabulous Chateau Frontenac, and the Lower Town. However, the Grade Sevens also ventured into the U.S. to visit the Shelburne Museum in Vermont and Fort Ticonderoga. The Grade Eights visited Washington this fall and made the now historic visit to Wil- liamsburg, Monticello, Mt. Ver- non, Richmond, and, of course. Corning. Mrs. Hay always asks at the end of this trip what the girls found most exciting. She is always shocked when people say they liked the Williamsburg shop- ping the best! 121 The Bazaar this year was co- ordinated by Christina Zeidler and Cindie Jamieson and it raised in the neighbourhood of three thousand dollars for several charities including Arthritis Research Foundation. The booths at this bazaar, whose theme was ' Hollywood ' , ranged from food- related to datebooks to hair clips to rummage. The decorations in the gym and in the Tea Room were fabulous and reinforced the theme. Instead of doing one full play, this year, Branksome ' s Drama Society decided to enact selected scenes from three plays and create three one-act plays. The plays that were done were Romeo and Juliet, Mother Figure, and Something Unspoken as well as an improv piece which was written by the students. November was Spirit Month in the Senior School and among other things, there was a Dating Game with Crescent. December 1 With December came the snow and the inevitable crossing from Senior to Junior School without a coat and freezing to death! During both November and December, many days were spent in the gym practising Christmas carols for the annual Carol Ser- vice. This year ' s service gave the angels a chance to show off their new wings and the choir a place to flaunt their new folders. The show, as always, was stolen by the younger grades but the Senior School held its own during Sir Christemas and three soloists, Claire Moorsom, Maria Lundin, and Hope Nightingale, per- formed. The last day of school finally came and people managed to escape for what looks like a well- needed rest. January School resumed and the Junior School seemed to have gained some new students over the holi- day who arrived in the form of Cabbage Patch Dolls and Popples. 122 January is exam month and the time when everyone begins to panic about all the classes they missed and the assignments they didn ' t do during the Christmas holidays. January is panic month when forty-three people try to get all their questions answered at one sitting. January is the time you realize that the History test on Napoleon which you ripped up will be on the exam. It is also the time you try and track down the three months of Chemistry notes that you lent to your lab partner in November and discover that she left them at her chalet! Branksome ' s Swim Team brought the Bishop ' s Cup back to the School this month with some fan- tastic swimming. February The trip which Mr. Ball organized to Moosonee took place over the February long-weekend. The group travelled to Ontario ' s north by train and spent several days visiting the local sites which in- cluded the jail, the police station, and the school. The students spent a morning at the local high school and got a chance to par- ticipate in some of the school ac- tivities such as bowling. Those who were brave enough went for a snowmobile ride in the dark and several members of the group spent some time in jail - they were invited to see the cells! This year, however, no one took the Polar Bear Dip. In conjunction with U.C.C., Branksome had a ski day at Col- li ngwood on our day-off. Branksome was pleased to welcome the U.C.C. band who came to play for us. They had not been at Branksome for five years but they are sure to be asked back next year as their orchestra and jazz ensemble were so pro- fessional Branksome students in a Science Fair. One of this month ' s activities in the Junior School was Poetry Week during which several grades put on poetic skits. There was a French poetry day and a day when people could dress up as their favourite poetry char- acters. This year ' s formal was on February 28 at the Westin Hotel. For Grades Eleven to Thirteen, that night was the climax of countless weeks of worrying and planning. It is everyone ' s greatest fear that her date will forget her flowers or that he will run off with another girl at 10:30. But, the evening looked like it turned out well for most people. This year, there were no male staff members or husbands there so it was left up to fifteen female staff to control the hoards. At 9:50, most of the three hundred-plus people arriv- ed having come by bus from various grade dinner parties. It seemed as if the sleek black dress was the ' in thing ' this year and very few people had bright col- oured dresses on. This year ' s dates still liked wearing coloured ties and matching cumberbunds but more and more chose basic black. Everyone went to various parties and on Monday morning, a lot of gossip was exchanged in the halls! The Pajama Game was Branksome ' s musical this year and it certainly was an ambitious choice on the part of the Drama Department. However, the cast performed superbly and the atten- dance at the show was indicative of Branksome ' s interest in the per- forming arts. The work of several talented actors and actresses was appreciated on a total of three nights but many more people than those seen on stage were in- volved in the production. The show required ten set changes in each act and a total of six different sets were designed and hand painted by a very few students. Also, the show received the ser- vices of several student lighting specialists, make-up artists, and sound engineers. The March Break arrived just in time for some of us! 124 After the break, it was back out- side for gym and games. It was nice to be able to walk around without jackets and coats for a change! The Junior School Spirit Week focused in on the spring and out- door games were organized for all of the Junior School. Clan activities continued in both the Senior and Junior School with the spring baking contest. Spring sports, including track and field and soccer, started up again as soon as the grass in the Lower Field was dry. The Fashion and Swim Show took place in late spring and drew a large crowd of people. Sports Day, 1987. June We are very sorry to say hasta la vista to Mrs. Maria Markes who leaves Branksome this June after 25 loyal years as a dedicated teacher of Spanish. Students who have studied Spanish at university speak enthusiastically of the education they have received from Mrs. Markes. She is a lady who has always made high demands of her students and of herself. A survivor of the Nazi oc- cupation of Yugoslavia and the threat of slave labour, Mrs. Markes has had much to overcome. At Branksome, we have watched her cheerfully fight and overcome a very painful arthritis condition and the sudden death of her hus- band and find courage and strength a fine example for old and young alike. We wish her a long and happy retirement and more time to en- joy her two sons and daughter and granddaughter, Sonia, of whom she is very proud. Relaxation time! 125 LETTERS TO THE EDITORS: Dear Editors: Dear Editors: I still have a question about the Formal. Why is it that when I went to the West Inn no one was there? Formally Confused Dear Formally Confused: Just wait until the Grad Formal at the Harbour Castle Hilltop. Dear Editors: My letter to you is V. (Ha! Ha!) Dear V: Our letters to you are U R 2 FUN E.

Responsive Dear Responsive: Take that seven doors down the hall and up the stairs to the second door on the right. Dear Editors: I live five minutes from school but no matter what time I set my alarm to, 1 can never get up until 8:15. I ' m always late for school. What should I do? Sleepy in Rosedale Approximately how long does it take to complete one page of the yearbook? Zippo Einstein Dear Mr. Einstein: Assuming that all the material for the page is in the hands of the editor, one page would take approx- imately one hour to fully complete. However, if a write-up for the page is missing, twenty minutes should be added on to the hour. If two write-ups are missing, add on thirty-five minutes to the hour a nd if more than three are missing, add on an extra ten minutes for each write-up. If any number of pictures are missing but the pictures have been taken already, add on four hours for two pictures or less or six hours for two pictures or more. However, if the pictures have not been taken, add on three days to the total time. To make this easier for everyone, we have come up with a simple formula to help you understand. p - pictures needed pt - pictures taken w - write-ups needed wu - write-ups written q - time of day f - page number Dear Editors: (pt) (wu) -I- 3(w) - 4q p + f time for one page to be completed I would like to commend you on the fabulous job that you have done this year on the yearbook. Never has it been so exciting, innovative, inspirational, witty, and contemporary. I especially enjoyed reading the Direc- tory and colouring in the Ads. Thank you for this - U.C.C. ' s College Times has never looked so good. An Admirer Dear Admirer: Perhaps you and Formally Confused should get together some time. Dear Sleepy in Rosedale: We have noticed a trend at Branksome - the closer people live to the school, the later they arrive. We suggest you move to Ajax. 126 CONOISSEUR COLLABORATIONS Kathi V-B on how to Wheels set. the best out of a Hot The first thing to do with your new set is test it to see that it ' s not defective. This involved setting it up in your very own Hot Wheels Lab and running two to three cars down it. To get the best results, make sure that the ramp is plac- ed almost vertical to the table surface. Record your results in an official Hot Wheels Lab Folder. One of the most important things to remember when preparing for any formal is that you must look your best and for, some of you, this may involve wearing make-up. For those of you who are not regular make-up users, here are a few tips to help you get that special look, a) Make sure you use a shade of blush that com- pliments your skin tone. For exam- ple, if you are very pale, do not use bright red. b) Shape the blush ac- cording to your cheekbones, c) Add an attractive hair accessory to highlight your make-up. Mrs. MacGregor on how to control a yearbook staff. Feed the girls lots of cookies and then send them up to the Slogan Office. Put blinds on the windows of the office so they have no idea of what time it might be. Remove all sharp objects from the immediate work area. Andrea and Stephanie on football. Equipment and protection when play- ing football is essential so if you don ' t have what you need at home, do what we did - remove a uniform from the U.C.C. locker room. Margaret and friends on nutrition As we all know, nutrition is a very important thing for growing girls. Take precautions about where you eat and if what you ' re served is unac- ceptable, do what we do and don ' t eat anything. s very important to give a good impression of yourself to your date. Impress him with your conversation and knock him dead with your clothes. For the first date, choose a striking outfit and wear it well and with confidence. Try and match your accessories with your outfit for the best effect. 127 Compliments of BOOTH SUPPLY CO. LIMITED Est. 1844 SUPPLIES, SERVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR THE GRAPHIC ARTS 128 of Canada, Inc.
