FORM ARTS SIXTH SYLVIA DENNIS Head of Cuniining House — Head l ' r( ' l ' -l A heart as golden as her hair. Sylver. our busy head girl, has been a wonderful Form I ' residoiit ihis year. As well as being a Prefect, Captain of the first basketball team and Games Captain of the school, she has been an inspiration for almost every plan. Sylver will be remembered by all Trafalgar for her shining smile and ready words of kindness to everyone. To her we also owe the sueeess of our Hallowe ' en party and Graduation Dance. JANE ALLISON Head of Koss House What I have learned — have forgotten. It hat I know — have guessed. Jane was the shining blonde of the Sixth Form and also the class baritone. She played on the first basketball team and was Gym Captain of the school. Her other activities included Library Representative of the class, (Jym Captain of the class, and vaulting. Nobody will ever be able to forget those Allison shorts; they have to be seen to be believed. GLENDA ANDERSON CuiMiiiiiig House A good heart is better than all the heads in the world. Glenda will be remembered by us all for her beaming smile and her kind words. Often to be seen drifting in and out of the lower locker room, she may have missed some of our news, but she always had loarls of her own. Her favourite pastime seemed to be writing various names in her books and dreaming of her homework. [12J

EDITORIAL COLOUR, although we are generally unaware of it, produces definite psychological effects. If an artist wishes to convey an idea of heat, cold, tear or calm, he chooses his tone and colour accordingly. Through the ages certain colours have come to represent abstract qualities also. BLUE symbolizes truth. We must speak the trvith, for, as Keats said, Beauty is truth, truth beauty. If we cannot be believed, we are mistrusted and lose the respect that otherwise would be ours. We depend upon one another in our daily lives. Think of the sources of information we rely upon to tell us the truth — train schedules, doctors, our friends, and the books we consvilt for facts. Those who do not speak the truth believe no one else, and live a life of uncertainty and shame. Moreover, if we are honest with ourselves, it follows that we can have no fear of selfishness, and thus will work for the benefit of our friends, our school, our community, our country. In Shakespeare ' s words, To thine own self be true; and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. WHITE symbolizes purity. To give our utmost for the best, to set an ideal or a purpose before us and pursue it with determination, to prevent evil and its temptations, to forget selfishness and conceit, to have hope and faith, to be brave and sincere — that is purity. Tennyson expressed its power when he said, My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure. BLUE and WHITE are Trafalgar ' s colours. They were chosen, as was our motto, SPEM SUCCESSUS ALIT , by those older and more experienced, for us to honour and support. We could have no better standards to uphold. You who will return to Trafalgar, do not take them for granted, but respect them. Let us who must break away from this shelter and guidance not forget them, but keep them as constant reminders, not only of our happy school days together, but, as indivi(hials in the world, of what BLUE and WHITE really symbolize — TRUTH and PURITY. 111]

NICOLE ANDREEF (iunmiing House The blush is beautiful ; but sometimes inconvenient. Nicole is one of those lucky people who know how to speak French already. She was on the ski team this year and is very enthusiastic ahout skiing. She will he remembered by us all for her solo in the Easter Parade nuniher of the gym display. DIANE BARRIE Barclay House So ne are toise, and some are otherivise. Diane was this year ' s long-suffering games secretary. She faithfully attended every basketball game — she HAD to! Her other activities included tumitling and folk dancing in the gym display. Diane will be remembered at Trafalgar for her enthusiasm and willingness to help in any task. ANNE CADMAN Ross House She who laughs last has had the joke explained to her. ' Anne was one of our Eaton ' s Junior Councillors and is always flying around witli too much to do. She spent her free time playing hymns, telling jokes (?), doing the Charleston, folk dancing, passing oranges at basket- ball games, and asking questions or dreaming of other interests! She plans to go to Smith or Wellesley College next year, and also has her eye on the stage. ANITA CRAN Fairley House Earth ' s noblest thing — a woman perfected. This red-head came from Havergal (Toronto) only last September and left us in May, bound for England. It was to our disadvantage that she was not at Traf. longer, for, asifle from playing on the basketball team, and getting good marks, she was one of the friendliest and most popular sixth formers.
