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
