AUTUMN RAINS Rising from the hills, to begin the mom Yet another day is freshly born
The crisp cool crackling morning air, Whips the countryside so bare
And the sun begins its lengthy stare.
The world beneath awakes from sleep, And for the winter ahead the creatures reap The trees, they shed their coals of leaves Distributed by a gentle breeze.
The sun climbs up, towards its peak The shadows hide, the animals seek For shade and water and a cool, cool breeze. The world again, begins slumber it seems.
Dark clouds appear, on the horizon at first Preparing to quench God's creatures thirst. The breeze picks up it's sluggish pace, And the animals head for their winter place.
The black and bloated bulging clouds, Gather together in an awesome crowd. The rain drops begin, a race towards the earth Like evil demons, possessed and cursed
The raindrops spitter, spatter speaking an evil tongue, Shattering the ground like bullets from a gun. The evil clouds blot out the sun
Tis a warning sign, has winter begun?

The Gap Between
(Editorial)
People have a tendency to build walls, not just physical walls such as the Great Wall of China or the Berlin Wall, but rather barriers in thoughts, expr essions, and feelings. Because of the walls that people build about themselves, relationships can often be difficult to form and even more diffic ult to keep. Chasms therefore form in relationships, the one into which I am about to delve is commonly called the 'Generation Gap'.

• advance towardetoward the independence of adulthood, never completely fitting
As advancement is made along the thin bridge of maturity, the teenager begins to build supports to which he or she may cling, and walls, behind
• • which he or she can easily hide, walls for protection, walls which have been
created for acceptance into the adult world. It is at this stage, while the teenage barriers contain no gates or ladders with which he or she may view the other side of the fence, that the Generation Gap is at its greatest. At this time, we see communication between the adults of society and teenagers become limited. as ideas and ideals conflict and rebound off one another.
c.t.. c 1 r. i
• ~:.Y-~':r'{.fi
k During this period, the adults feelings of responsibility toward the teenager are at their strongest. II is often felt that the teenager is blind to directional guidance, causing the youth to go off the beaten track. However, this `advice can appear to become a harsh command, rather than a subtle suggestion. In such times of communication friction, the rift between the generations widens, as the teenager huddles behind his or her walls or as he or she attempts to make a retreat, knocking through the bricks of discretion back into the world of the child. At one particular stage this happens with frequency and this period is referred to as adolescence.
Thankfully, as time progresses. the teenager begins to see over and through the walls he or she has created, and therefore needs only the occasional touch of guidance to finally reach the adult world.
Once the adult side of the walkway is reached, the new-comer must utilise all of his or her skills to become accepted as a young adult. The walls that were created during the teenage period are present and function for the en tire time of an adults life, though networks of ladders and gales allow the adult to see various structures and stivations of life, enabling the truly mat ure adult to exercise discretion, decorum and responsibility. Though the poet Robert frost once wrote:
"Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in and out,
And to whom I was like to give offence."
The greater majority of people are unable to do so. So, each of us will leam by our own mistakes, create our own boundaries or walls, and pass through the period which we commonly call the 'Generation Gap'.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE 1985 has been a particularly difficult year for the school. This manifested itself in the aftermath of the school fire in the Administration Block, the very wet winter and - for the first time fora number of years - staffing difficulties. Nevertheless much has been accomplished academically, culturally and in the sports field, and my thanks must go to all concerned. tparticularly would like to pay tribute to Mr Kidd, Associate Principal, who, as Acting Principal during Term 11, ensured a smooth and successful running of the School des pite the difficulties listed above.
I would like to thank the various groups, who assist the School in a variety of ways. The Board of Governors has had a particularly busy year in adminis tering and promoting the interests of the School. The PTA continues to support the School in promoting the traditional activities and the inclusion this year of an open night for parents towards the end of Term 11 was an undoubted success. These groups, together with the Past Pupils, provide the necessary back up which is the strength of any school This year was the hallmark for the School in that we celebrated the Silver Jubilee in a very successful weekend 8-10 March. The functions were well attended and many friendships and former acquaintances were renewed. My thanks to the Silver „Jubilee Committee and all who assisted in ensuring such a successful weekend.
The Schools roll continues to grow and is estimated at approximately 1530 for 1986. Buildings are keeping pace with this development. The recent additions of Cebus Art Block and Gymnasium Extension have been welcomed by the School. A Cebus Teaching Block will be in place for the 1 986 school year. Future building programmes include extensions to the Library and a Senior Common Room-Conference Room.
1 enjoyed my secondment to the Secondary Inspectorate during Term 11 1985 and was privileged to view many exciting programmes in operation. t now look forward to furthering my input into Manurewa High School as a re sult of my secondment. The years ahead will be challenging ones in view of the changes in education. 1 believe we must continue with our proven formula in education and provide the type of education for the pupils that the people of this community want and accept.
Thank you all for your continued support. Yours sincerely
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES With the abolition of University Entrance in 1986, many changes will be necessary at Sixth Form level. For the first time Sixth Form Certificate will be the only national award for Sixth Form Students. We will be introducing in 1986 a six subject Sixth Form course for all pupils. This will provide a challenge for our more able students, while at the same time ensuring a flexibility in the type of programmes that students will be able to undertake. A number of new subjects will be introduced next year to accommodate this. These include: Business Studies, Classical Studies, Clothing and Textiles, Computer Studies, Drama, Photography. The General Studies Programme will be disbanded: instead, every Sixth Form student will be allocated one or two periods of Physical Education a week. Information pamphlets explaining these changes in Form Six and outliining procedures th5t will be followed at our school have been issued to all pupils intending to study at Form Six level in 1986.
K G Thomson PRINCIPAL
SECONDMENT TO THE SECONDARY INSPECTORATE Term II 1985
In the Junior School a number of changes will also be made: Computer Studies will be added to the list of options at Form Three level. At Form Four level, Drama and Horticulture will be offered to continue the courses commenced in Form Three this year. Because of the increasing number of options available now at Form Four level, it was felt that students' needs would be better served if they were allowed to choose three options instead of two as at present.
During the tern I had the opportunity to visit twenty-eight schools in the Northern Region of the Department of Education, These visits could be loosely classified into three categories: 1. Report visits which were the main visit to a school in which I was part of a team of inspectors reporting on the life and work of the entire school. During these visits I was mainly responsible for inspecting teachers in the subject areas of Geography and Social Studies and sometimes History. On a number of occasions I was asked to report on various aspects of school rife, e.g. senior administration, communication, schemes of work etc. 2.
Visits to liaison schools: these were largely for the purpose of classification and assessment of list A Year 1 and 2 teachers. This also involved advice to the principals on current and planned building programmes and on the finalising of staffing for 1986. 3. In addition to these formal visits, I was able to visit a number of other schools to view special programmes on the recommendation of the Inspectorate or on the invitation of a fellow principal. I viewed a wide range of schools with varying philosophies and expectations of their pupils. There are already many serious staffing shortages in a number of key areas, as we have experienced in our own school. Teacher stress, lack of promotional opportunities and better pay conditions in industry have resulted in many teachers leaving the profession. I became very conscious of the differences that existed between schools particularly pertaining to the environment, building, grounds and facilities that existed within the school. The care of the environment was usually a fairly good indicator of the level of concern shown by the staff and pupils of the school. The Secondary Inspectorate has a vital role to play in New Zealand education today. This is particularly apparent with the change to internal assessment. Their advice, guidance and input as subject specialists in their field in invualuable.

Dead Cockatiels
Frozen to death, still food in their transparent stomachs,
The light kills my babies, cuddling closer to keep warm. Walls crushing down, crushing my frozen babies.
The warm light, primitive cage, the chicks discarded in the nest.

THE PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION
VIDEO TEAM
1985 was an important year for the Parent Teacher Association - a year in which, perhaps for the first time its educational, informative and communicative activities far outweighed its fund-raising work.
1985 was the year in which we prepared for the great changes due in 1986 in Form 6. In an effort to find out what was about to happen, to probe and question, on behalf of the parents and to keep all parents informed the PTA ran a number of contrasting meetings on the new Form 6 curriculum. The unforgettable meeting on 10 June gathered some of the most important names in education together and allowed them to debate the issue. While in itself not very informative, the evening was an indication to parents of the strength of feelings on this issue. Less spectacular but none informative were meetings with an envoy of the Minister, Mr. David Hood, and a late evening for parents of fifth former.
At the same time the PTA tackled the immense task of discussing and preparing submissions on the whole range of education in New Zealand, and once again an evening was arranged for parents to participate in. 1985 saw the committee begin its own self-evaluation of its role. Its relat ionship with other PTAs came under scrutiny and it began work on drafters and updating its constitution.
All the time the regular activities which have made the PTA such a valuable organisation continued. Fundraisers (of course), the Fashion Pa rade and a highly successful evening for parents and new pupils kept members very busy, while those at the monthly meetings were able to discuss activities and events with the school and provide the school authorities with ideas, advice and the feeling of parents on a wide range of issues.
The PTA represents the major avenue for parent input into the school. For the committee members the work is challenging and this years committee has every reason to feel proud and very satisfied with its contribution to school life.

If you have an ambition to be Mr Universe (or Miss Universe for that matter), there is no better way to develop those bulging muscles than to join the M.H.S. video team and carry T.V. sets from one end of the school to the other - without dropping them (life is cheap, but T.V. sets aren't)!
To be a T.V. cameraman you have to spend years of learning one rule dont point the dam thing at the sun! This gives you the licence to point it at the grass, the Principal and your boyfriend or girlfriend.
The symbol of a video team member is a piece of cable that doesnt seem to go anywhere.
1985 has been an interesting and varied year. In the tradition of the "Show Must Go On" we have provided sound for over 100 assemblies and video lin ks for about 30. Miraculously, there have been no major hitches, although one assembly had sound only (because some helpful prizewinner going up on stage kicked Out a power lead on the way up the steps!) We all started to cultivate ulcers during term two with Mr Kidds assemblies which routinely used up nearly every centimetre of cable, every microphone. video , overhead projector and fuse in the school. That "The Kidd Show" did get through to the outer reaches of the school every time (i.e. the gym and lecture room) was the greatest miracle of the year!
We also learned this year how not to interview people, compiled footage on pupils and staff in "interesting" situations (so that we could easily enter the blackmail business) and did our own version of "Top Half" which we called "Action Meg: We hope you enjoyed it.
When you feel like moaning about sitting on the cold hard gym floor watching T.V. assembly, spare a thought for the trials and tribulations of thos e who brought over, plugged in, switched on and tuned the equipment.
THE SILVER JUBILEE
25th SILVER JUBILEE
1985 marked the School's Silver Jubilee and after two years of preparation the celebrations began on Friday 8th March, with a Wine and Cheese Evening attended by over 500 former pupils and staff; they were greeted on their arrival by the foundation principal Mr. Alex Maich, resplendent in a dinner suit. The official opening began at 10.00am the following day with a Maori Welcome. Guest speakers included Mr. Paul Stuart. Mr, Roger Douglas MP, and the Mayor Mr. Curtis. At the end of the opening the Jubilee Cake was cut and in a short ceremony, the history was renamed in honor of Mr. Maich. Lunch was followed by a sports afternoon while visitors were escorted around the school to muse nostalgacally on how much it had changed. The Jubilee Ball on Saturday night was attended by over 400 people accommodated not only in the hall but in a huge marquee erected over the staff c,arpark. A magnificent dinner complimented an equally magnificent band to produce an unforgettable evening. The next morning the hall was witness to the final event of the weekend, a non-denominational church service which gave past pupils the opportunity to bring their children, future pupils, into the school. The final hymn, Lord Dismiss Us was a time of considerable emotion for a large number of people, relieved by the friendliness of an excellent morning tea. Never to be forgotten: - the lovely flower displays provided free by the Manurewa floral society. - the tremendous efforts of the senior pupils of the key club who moved seats, iet up and cleared up the hall and acted as general "dogsbodies". - the high wind which blew over the loudspeakers at the opening ceremony. - Fay Weatherly (Nee' Hall), John Walker, George Wood and Stuart McLarens cutting the cake. - Ross Browne, Kelvin Fairhail and brother Ernie Milne taking the service. - the contribution to that service of Colin Browne, Kee Milne, Vaughan Dodd and Vernon Van Twiver. - the magnificent Jubilee Magazine produced by Rogan Overton and Colin Browne. - hours of anxiety and work by such a tremendous Jubilee Committee being crowned by such a success. We look forward to seeing you all in 2010!
When the final goodbyes were said on the Sunday morning following the Memorial Church Service in the Assembly Hall there was no sense of deflation as might have been expected, but rather one of profound satisfaction at having been present during a most significant weekend in the life of the School and of those who attended. All the painstaking preparations agonised over the months, most especially by the small goup who dedicated themselves to seeing the planning through to a successful conclusion, had been worth the effort. It was a great exercise in communication and this probably provided the predominant theme of the reunion. Every effort, within the slender resources available, was made to contact, invite, and inform all who could be reached by notices, phone calls, letters and announcements that the Silver Jubilee was for each and every Past Pupil, Staff, Board, and PTA Member to be present at and participate in. The results of all these efforts brought past pupils from Australia, from all parts of New Zealand, and messages of appreciation from around the world. It was a heart-warming reaction. Firday night's Wine and Cheese evening may have begun a little tentatively until names were recognised, the camouflage of beards and moustaches penetrated the bloom of maturity revealed within its amplitude those youthful figures of yesteryear. There were no longer any barriers as all those present, whether teacher or taught, administrator or parent, began to communicate through recollection in ever-rising excitement at each new encounter with the past. It was nostalgia rampant. Exchanges of personal histories and recall of mutual experiences brought heightening enthusiasm to en effervescing gathering. The reunion was in full spate sweeping aside the earlier diffidence and apprehension. It took some time to close a memorable evening for a new fervour of anticipation had been established. Rather more formally next morning in a spirited and sportive breeze the Official Opening began. It was heralded in by a valiant orchestra struggling to retain flapping music sheets as they held time with the conductor's baton. The Cultural Club performed its welcoming ritual with dignity and more freedom until it was time for the speeches. The Chairman of the Board of Governors, Mr J Rutherford opened proceedings followed in turn by Manukau City's Mayor, Mr B Curtis, Manurewa's M.P. Hon R Douglas, Minister of Finance, Mr P Foley, Regional Superintendent, Department of Education and the present Principal, Mr K Thomson. From each came congratulatory message with reminiscences and comparisons punctuating their brief, positive statements, Two beautifully decoratecd cakes were cut on the one hand by Mr G A Wood, Foundation Chairman of the Board of Governors, and our most famous Past Pupil, John Walker, and on the other Stewart MacLaren Foundation Head Boy, and Mrs Fay Weatherly Foundation Teacher. The final poignant ceremony was the unveiling of the plaque which will be placed on the Alex Maich Library as a fitting tribute to the indefatiguable Foundation Principal, Mr Match, who responded with heartfelt appreciation. The official morning tea in the Library carried on the special warmth of the occasion as guests and dignitaries swapped anecdotes. It was during this time that the Key Club members rose to their challenge. Their guided tours, showing around those who had not seen the school's growth over the years, brought back memories and exclamations over some familiar nook or feature that was recognised, and nods of approval and wry envy at what was available for todays pupils. Lunch in the marquee brought fresh encounters as the day's new arrivals gathered in an atmosphere of warm satisfaction to share their reminiscences with each other. It was a kind of communication that was personal, whole-hearted, and challenging to one's powers of recall. Stalwarts who braved the vigorous active sports in the afternoon may not have been numerous but were enthusiastic and the sideline experts had a field day. Great fun to watch but a stiffening process for the participants. Tremendous efforts in furniture movement, decorations, as beautifully displayed in the floral arrangements, setting up of facilities and necessities for the weekend had been going well before the festivities had begun. This was no more evident than at the Jubilee Ball. Again new faces appeared, old aquaintanceships re-established and communications opened between individuals and groups from the past two decades. It was a thoroughly delightful occasion, improved by the dining and the dancing which realised the promises of the previous twenty-four hours. There was no disguising the quiet sense of pride in the belonging to the school which had provided the basis for the direction and achievements of those present. The Honours Boards were pored over the realisation came to many, who may not have considered it, that they and their contempories had a great deal to be proud about. The solid foundation and the subsequent accomplishments of past pupils have created challenges for the next quarter century to meet.
The Present Pupils Participation in the 25TH JUBILEE WEEKEND, 1985
So the Sunday's service brought the strands of communication together as past and present joined in a spirit of thankfulness, memories, and fulfilment, with the final emotions preserved for that hymn which signalled the end of each of the past twenty-five years, "Lord Dismiss us with Thy Blessing. Colin Browne • Former Principal Manurewa High School.
On the weekend of the 7th to 9th March, the school celebrated its Silver Jubilee. The attendance of present pupils was kept to a minimum except for the assistance of the Key Club in a variety of duties. This fad however did not have any effect upon the phenomenal turnout of hundreds of past pupils of the school. The celebrations were spread over the entire weekend, beginning with a Wine and Cheese on Friday evening, ending with a Morning Tea an Sunday - which was attended with great gusto by present and past pupils alike. The duties of the Key Club began on Friday afternoon with the setting up of the various areas to be used thoughout the duration of the weekend, The hall looked to be full of memories, when the great many photographs from years-gone-by were placed on the walls. Saturday night saw the largest event of the weekend. Both attendance at the function itself and attendance in the various necessary duties was tremendous! As the night drew on, the sound of voices resounded in the school buildings, wafted across the lines of parked cars to those on parking duty - a night not be forgotten. Sunday morning saw the clearing of the previous night's residue, and the preparation of the morning tea. It was a great weekend for all involved, both those actually attending the gatherings and those helping in the running of the affair, thanks for the experience . . ,well see you at the 50th? S. Martin

PLANTING TREES AT WAHARAU
ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL
A major task undertaken by the Environmental Council last term was the Planting of Kauri trees and Manlike trees at Waharau Camp.
Ten students and Mr. Falla met at school at approximately 8.30am. What surprised us most was the fine weather that remained with us throughout the day.
We arrived at Waharau at approximately 9.30am, then we set about an -hour, we finally tracked him down. While speaking to him we were told one of the other schools. supposed to help with the Planting, had done it the Previous day. (Well, so much for communication).
After gathering spades, we were shown the trees and how to plant them. ("Dig a hole ..."). This was great fun and extremely rewarding knowing we were helping in the development of the surroundings of Waharau. At aroun d 12 oclock, we all took a well-earned break for about 3/a of an hour. Then, somewhat reluctantly, we continued planting trees. At approximately 1.302.00pm. we decided we would leave, so after dropping off the equipment we set off for school again.
By the end of the day we had planted 341 trees. The effort of all those involved was very much appreciated, and in years to come, well be able to say to our grand-children. "I planted that tree".
Susan Bird
(Environmental Council)
Like all years this year has flown but nevertheless we have accomplished a great deal.
We started the year off with a $700 grant which was received from the Anti-Vandalism Scheme run by the Department of Education. This money was put to good use involving the buying of paving slabs and timber to extend fences and develop seating and paving. We spent $500 on trees and shrubs which were used to develop the area between S Block and the New Art Cebus. Several major working bees were organised involving the cleaning up of all the gardens which are now becoming a ginormous• task because of the size of the school. At the North of the school native plants (10 Kauris and assorted Manukas) were planted in August and are gradually developing. A working bee in conjunction with other schools was organised to plant trees at Waharau.
The wettest winter our school has yet had, made the grounds very, very muddy and it is hoped that the Environmental Councils pleas for extra paving will help solve this problem for future years.
Fire damaged some of our earlier plantings around the board office but these were quickly restored. It is sad to see the expansion of school buildi ngs taking over garden plots but such is the pace of progress. The next area for this to happen is to the gardens surrounding the library.
In the future we hope for some development in the New Cebus to the west. Seating and plants are hopefully to be established there with assistance from the Department of Education.
Overall this year has been very full, one in which I got to know many new people and make many new friends.
Thanks go to all the pupils in the Environmental Council who participated in any way and to all the staff members for their offers of plants. These donations have been of great benefit to our school environment. Thanks als o to the staff who are involved in the Council, especially to Mr Kilgour.

THE ROSE GARDENS
The school is rapidly acquiring a reputation for its fine summertime displays of roses. Several years ago the first beds were planted along the main driveway; the first in the school colours of vibrant red, yellow and white. A second area nearby was planted in delicate pastel shades of pink and peach to compliment these earlier glowing bushes.
This year more plants (grown in Levin with the assistance of F3 Horticulture) were arranged in two new areas.
Near the Cebus block is a bed containing many shades of orange through to red and white. The staffroom garden received some unusual two toned and highly perfumed roses.
PUBLICITY COUNCIL Our projects started with all the flair and veuve of most beginners but tended to fizzle as time and energy ran out. Originally there were plans to produce a school newspaper Focus Express at the end of term one and term two. At the end of term one we didnt have enough material and preparation and, at the end of term two, the costs were prohibitive. Nevertheless students did learn the art of collecting material and interviewing other students and staff, as well as producing art work and obtaining advertising. This material came to some benefit as it has been passed on for publication in this Magazine
Plans for 1986 include enrolling all council members as reporters in the Auckland Star student/school page, regular meetings in form class time, and edited contributions to the 'Courier'.
During the year Mrs. Oates, in consultation with Mr. Thomson and Mr. Kidd, has kept the local Courier supplied with articles of interest and a chievement. These have been carefully cut and pasted by the Librarians and left for viewing on the front desk of the Library.
Pupils and staff have worked hard to encourage these plants to flower to their true potential - spending backbreaking hours weeding, fertilising, hoeing and trimming the bed edges. The general concensus it was worth it!
CULTURAL COUNCIL 1985 We began early this year, 28th February, to welcome new members and plan activities for the first term at last. Officers elected comprised: Angela Dye, Chairperson; Julie McKinnon, Hon. Sec.; Cherie Hariord, Asst. Sec.; Tok Vaetoru, Heather Bryant, and Dawn Barwell, as a Steering Committee. As 1985 is the International Year of Youth, we presented a junior assembly programme on a "Participation-Becoming Involved" theme. Sixt h form members were mainly responsible for preparing scripts, mimes, symbolic scenery and music. Staff and audience gave congratulatory com ments afterwards.
We followed up this theme in Term 2, by trying to raise cash for a donation to Telethon. Initial plans for a talent quest and concert failed, but a collection raised $100.00. Many members were participants in the weekend projects run by various clubs and organisations. We welcomed the assistance of Trevor Shirley. Michael Tribble, Tony de Vries and Paul Grunter. "Charley's Aunt" and "The Fruity Melodrama", Term I productions saw a full Front-of-House team assisting Mrs. Chan and Miss Berry. Similarly in Term II, "Gunslinger", with a longer season, was helped along by some members taking more than one turn on the duly roster. An added feature was the 'costume' worn, especially on Opening Night, reflecting the period and setting of the stage production.
Best wishes to Council members who will be leaving school. The staff appreciates all your contributions. Those who will continue into 1986, let's look ahead with some new ideas and projects.

GOLF REPORT
WATERPOLO A TEAM
Further experience was gained by the golf team, in their second year of existence, by competing against James Cook in the Governors Cup held at the Manukau Golf Club earlier this year.
This year was the first for Waterpolo at Manurewa High. Coached by Mr. Longbottom, we started the year totally ignorant of the rules, and we were out for a good time.
We began training in the school pool (it got a bit chilly later on) in mid February, and by March, we were, we thought, ready for our first game. You could say it was not too much of a success (we were defeated 12-3) but we did have a good time
After our defeat, we needed coaching on the finer points of the game: fingers in the stomach, kicking off the opposition and fouling without being seen by the referee.
By the end of the year, we had all learnt a thing or three about the game (with 3 players being selected for a Counties Representative Team ( Mike Smith, Paul Burton and Alister Stirling) and finished at about middle of the table.
The competition was judged on stableford points and M.H.S. defeated James Cook by 15 points (119-104)
The following rounds were recorded: Paul Grinter, 88: Ian Smith, 91: Karl Larsen, 93 and Michael Travers with 99.
The team was presented with a book which is now displayed in the school library.
Thanks go to Mr Thomson for allowing us to take the time off school to play this match and Mr Wiseman for the support he gave us.
Ian Smith 6/3
MANUREWA HIGH SCHOOL BADMINTON
Everyone enjoyed the competition and the team spirit was high. Thanks to Mr. Longbottom for his work in organising and controlling the players. Sp ecial thanks to Sue for her continued sideline support of the team.
We hope to continue next year with a bit more success and fun. Alister Stirling & Peter Hunter
This year, Manurewa High School entered lour teams in the Counties Secondary School Competition. Out of these four, the Junior Boys, Junior Girls and Senior Girls won their sections. The Senior Girls went on to participate in the Auckland Districts Secondary Schools Competition, in w hich they came third. All teams played extremely well and were very reliable. Manurewa presenting its strongest teams for several years. It is pleasing to see so many young players with good potential. Thanks must go to learn captains: Murray Salmon, Annette Chitty. Peter Hunter and Carmel Clissold, and also to teachers involved.
WATER POLO - B TEAM Entering icy school pools at 7.45 am until mid-April is not very many pupils forte. However, baring our teeth and frantically thrashing around to rid ourselves of numbing cold, was a great adventure for the beginning of the season.
Due to odd numbers of players, a mixed team was formed - many other teams hassled us at first.
Our first attempt at this strange watersport revealed the mysteries of the rules: no touching the bottom of the pool and only controlling the ball with one hand left us waterlogged and exhausted.
With dedicated coaching from Mr Longbottom our tactics were designed to stun the opposing team for the first few moments no we could establish a score before we became exhausted and collapsed on the pool s edge. With frequent tournaments planned, we will be recruiting dedicated players next season.
EQUESTRIAN TEAM
Susan Hillery 6(2
1985 saw Manurewa High Schools first equestrian team competing at Tuakau in the Auckland Inter-Collegiate One Day Event. The event com bines dressage, showjumping, and cross-country all in one day.
Horses and riders competed in treacherous conditions as persistent rain continued throughout the day, soaking riders, horses and teachers alike. Th e bonus of the day was when one of our team gained a 3rd equal placing out al over one hundred riders.
SQUASH This year, for the first time, Manurewa High School entered teams in the Auckland Secondary Schools Squash competition. We fielded 2 boys learns but unfortunately the girls team folded up through lack of interest. For most of our players this game was a new experience but one which they found thoroughly enjoyable. It is certain that we have enough interest now to be able to field even more teams next year. Members of the teams were: Juniors: Ian Moody. Tony Beecham, Darren Marshall, Ray Baker (Capt.), Marlin Dykstra, Carl Vincent
Seniors: Ray Thompson, John Nelson, Andrew Kitchener, Lindsay Duig, Todd Douglas
SWIMMING This year the Swimming team had only one major fixture. This was the Annual Manukau Secondary Schools Swimming Championships which took place in the Pukekohe Swimming Pool Complex.
The team that went was selected from the Swimming Sports held at the school the previous week.
Fun was had by all and the day ended with great success and some good results were recorded. These came from Michael Smith, Emiel Logan, Cheryl Hyde. Their performances were recorded against some hot competition.
The major let down of the day, though. was being beaten by 1/10th of a second by James Cook High School in the final relay of the day.
All in all a great day was had and everyone who returned had a bit more of a tan_
Big thanks must go to Miss Bold and Mr. Slack who organised the team and acted as our chapherones.
Thank you to all who participated and gave their all to make the day a success.

SWIMMING REPORT The School Swimming Sports, held on Friday 15th February were well attended this year. Champions were:
Junior Boys - Matthew Filipo Junior Girls - Jane Hyde Int. Boys - M. Smith Int. Girls - Cheryl Hyde Senior Boys - Alistair Stirling Senior Girls - Pam Samuels
A large team was chosen to represent us at the Manukau Secondary Schools Swimming Champs held at Pukekohe on February 21st. Everyone competed extremely well and most reached the finals. Top Man urewa representatives were: Michael Smith - who gained 2 first and a 2nd place. Matthew Filipo - 1 frst and 1 second. Cheryl Hyde -1 first and I third. Alistair Sliding - 1 first and 1 fourth.
1ST XI GIRLS' HOCKEY This years hockey season has been very successful for the 1st XI Girls' Team. This success can be attributed to the high morale and spirits which the team managed to maintain for the season's duration; added to this of course is the patient coaching of Miss Berry. The team's efforts have earned them a place in the next grade where the competition will be tougher; but hopefully the team standard will go up with this shift to the A Grade. The 1985 Most Improved Player of the Year Award went to Tina Filipo who excelled in her performance as goalie and never failed to have a word of encouragement for her team mates. All the girls enjoyed being in the team and at the end of the season, attended a " Champagne Breakfast" at Cobb & Co. The girls unfortunately didn't get to drink any champagne as the cook seemed to have had more than his share. Sincere thanks to Miss Berry who willingly gave up her time and knowledge of hockey for the sake of the team. Many thanks. Tok Vaetoru (Captain)
GYMNASTICS On Wednesday the 26th June a group of eleven pupils competed in the Auckland Secondary Schools Competition held at James Cook High School. The 'B' grade team, consisting of Lisa Shockley, Angela Hough, Wendy Petrie and Rachel Wheeler, won their grade. This was an excellent achievement and the second year running that we have been champions. Lisa Stockley also gained second place in the individual competition. The 'C' grade team, consisting of Lisa White, Kaye Lewis, Leanne Michael and Michelle Bellamy also did very well in their grade. Barbara Hill and Nicola Spicer competed individually and gained valuable experience for next year. Warwick Wilson competed in the boys 'A' grade competition and managed a first place on the parrallel bars, second place on the vault and third on the floor. He finished up fifth overall which was terrific against such tough competition. We really have seen an improvement in Warwick's gym over the past year. Many thanks to Miss Bold for all the hard work she put into coaching us.
BOYS' HOCKEY 1985 A very successful year for our learns. The C team. coached by Mr. Michael Wylde, won their grade in the Counties Competition. They were undefeated. Goals for, 35; against, 5. The B team, coached by Mr. Bargh had only two losses to finish second in the B grade. Goals for 39: against, 14 Paul Murphy
RHYTHMICAL GYM This year a new sport for the school was introduced - rythmical gymnastics. The girls who participated came from several different fields: some from gymnastics, others dance and some having no previous experience in associated sports. A team of six girls was selected to represent the school at the Auckland Secondary Schools Rythmical Championships that were held at Epsom Girls Grammar School on Thursday the 18th of July. The team was Leanne Michael, Michelle Bellamy, Jayne Batcheldor, Angela Hough, Kaye Lewis and Vanessa Rudd. and the reserve was Marianne Jackson. The team competed extremely well and managed a third place in the 'C' grade competition, not bad for the first year! We did routines that involved ropes and balls and didn't drop them once! ( not like in practice!). We would like thank Miss Bold and Miss Suzanne Ludlow who coached us throughout the year
MANUREWA HIGH SCHOOL FIRST HOCKEY XI Team: Paul Murphy - Captain, Andrew McCready - Vice Captain, Tony Hay, Paul Burton, Stephen O'Neill, Brian Hartley, Alistair Hall, Urmesh Patel, Richard King, Harkrishan Sund, Lachlan Marshall, Nathan Marshall, Rajesh Dayha. The 1985 season was very pleasing with all learn members at limes playing extremely well and with the end result being that Manurewa High School and Pukekohe High School share equal 1st position in the Secondary Schools competition. The highlight of the season would have to be when we defeated Rosehill College 2 - 1. an extremely pleasing result with a high standard of hockey from all the team. Possibly Manurewa would have won the competition outright had we been granted permission to play against James Cook on the day of the Walk-a-thon, who knows! The team scored 20 goals for with 19 against over 7 games. During the August school holidays, the 1st XI travelled to Opunake to play in the India Shield tournament. The team was billeted and all the boys had a great time (off the field). The standard of hockey was extremely good. We were unlucky not to win our first game against Opunake. In hindsight, the team did not play poorly, the opposition played better. Manurewa finished 7th. The player of the tournament was Paul Burton in goal. Rajesh Dayha was selected as reserve in the tournament team. The organisation of the tournament was great and the hospitality accorded to us was overwhelming. We visited the Maui Onshore Gas Treatment Plant. The team raised the money to travel to tournament by mini bus and there was sufficient for us to have an end of season function. Special thanks to Mr. Marshall, who arranged for the mini bus. I would also like to thank Mr. McCready who travelled to Opunake as Manager of the team. Also my thanks to the parents who supported the team during the year. Finally, I would like to thank Manurewa High School for the opportunity given to me to coach the 1st XI for the past 2 years and I wish them all the best in 1986. 1985 Achievements Paul Murphy - Selected to represent Counties Under 17 to Australia during May School holidays and was also selected as Captain of the Under 17 team. Played Under 17 representative hockey during Queens Birthday weekend and subsequent games and was also selected to play for Counties Colts. Brian Hartley - Played several games for the Counties Under 17 team. Rajesh Dayha & Urmesh Patel - Selected to play for Counties Under 15 and travelled to Australia during the May holidays with the Under 15 team. Bill Murphy Coach The team would also like to express their thanks to Mr. Murphy for the effort and hard work he has put into the teams success over the past two years. Much of this years success must be attributed to him, for the time he found to coach us. Thanks from all of us.

"Do you know what your problem is? You wouldnt give a pus if 7000 people died." So began Andrew Urquharts winning anti-abortion speech entitled Crying Shame.
Competing against 16 other entrants from south Auckland schools, the Manurewa High School seventh former captivated the supporters audience he addressed at St Stephen's College.
The last to speak in a programme which had dealt with topics from modern music to space invaders and nuclear war, the speakers success was attributed to his sustained aggressive stance, his ability to deliberately mislead with ambiguity and irony, the effectiveness of contrast in his tone and skilful use of figurative language.
Andrew compared raising funds to feed "withering Ethiopians," saving the "blasted whales" and repairing a hole in a Greenpeace yacht to the callo usness of the 7000 abortions which occurred in New Zealand in 1984.
Andrew has had a background of success in debating and speech making throughout his live years at Manurewa High School. He has achieved recognition for his performances in many school drama and musical productions.
His other interests include music of all kinds, orchestra, singing and skiing. He hopes to pursue a legal career and would like to travel widely. He intends to participate in dramatic activities and public speaking wherever the opportunities arise.
Though Andrew chose abortion for his topic, he said he had strong feelings about many issues and had not wished to belittle any other cause: rather he wanted to highlight a less obvious perspective and something controversial.
At a recent senior assembly at the school Andrew was invited by the Acting Principal, Mr Z R W Kidd. to deliver his speech.
"The response was very moving," said Mr Kidd. "Though the students would not all have agreed with Andrews point of view, they could not deny the skill of this articulate speaker."
POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE . OUR OUTLOOK Is our society becoming a more dangerous and violent habitat? It seems we are being infiltrated by spies, assassins, rapists and other undesirables.
The negative side of our society is constantly being published by our media. Many believe that the 70s and 80s generation has developed into an evil race victimising the helpless and the young, but this is not so. We are not a blood and guts' guild.
Women were once too scared to go out at night in fear of what might happen. To them sunset was their curfew. Now women and children are abl e to speak out if they have been mistreated and are able to receive help Irom community groups. They now see that by speaking out, informing the public, they can escape Irom the men who cause them bodily harm and could do so to others.
Only since the 70s have minority groups felt confident about speaking out. However, violence has erupted too. Once reports of violence such as rape wo uld have tilled a whole page of the newspaper but now they take approximately twenty lines - in the middle of the paper.
Our countrys achievements and successes are left to a few drab columns at the back of the newspaper. We need an ego boost to motivate the people towards a positive attitude that would give them a new sense of support.
"Go for it, achievers!" Samantha Morgan 4A7
DEBATING
It has been a busy year for all those involved in the school debating team, and one in which we have enjoyed our fair share of success.
Our first activity was a student/teacher debate on the moot "That to try and shelter the minds of the younger generation is the strongest form of cowardice." The staff won by a narrow margin but it was an enjoyable exp erience from which everybody learnt.
In April seven pupils and one staff member attended a debating seminar at the Unviersity, hosted by the North Shore Debating Society, (who were to host the Inter-Secondary School Competition with which we became involved. Here we were given a detailed analysis of the role of each speaker, some of the finer points of the rules, and a few little tricks and techniques with which to baffle the opposition. After lunch we then witnessed a model" debate and were invited to adjudicate (judge) it. This was very entertaining and provided some interesting results.
With all this new information at hand we were ready to tackle our first team, Papakura High, debating the moot, "That Zoos should be abolished", In prep aration we had an internal debate to pick the team and to get an overall knowlege of our topic as well as an idea of the types of arguments the oppos ition were likely to chuck our way. As the affirmative team, we (Sara Ford, Ken Milne, Andrew Urquhart) went first with a convincing argument which resulted in a healthy win to M.H.S.
This was the first of five inter-school debates all of which were entertaining, beneficial and learning experiences. Other people involved in debating were Bronwyn Marshall. Jacqui Thomson, Jayne Bachellor, Joanne Deenay; the never failing support of Mrs Oates, to whom we are all extremely grateful, cannot be forgotten because without her help none of this would have been possible.

FASHION PARADE Atter many weeks of practice the annual school fashion parade was held on September 27 with the theme "Club Tropicana". and proved to be one of the social highlights of the year.
The group of models and escorts were tremendous on the night and displayed a great deal of style and professionalism in their routines. Three ex-pupils who have, with a few models taken part in a previous parade guided the new members and this enabled the fashion parade to acquire a very high standard.
The show got off to a flying start with the Swimwear section raising a few eyebrows from the large and appreciative audience. This was followed by the Nightwear section and once again the models looked ever so elegant in their nightshirts and nighties, which were all too revealing for some while for others the question "Is that all?" was posed.
Atter interlude the audience was treated to a taste of the latest in casual wear, the section the audience was most familiar with.
Mrs Keung , Murray Korewha and Derryn Milne then provided some vocal entertainment and succeeded in preparing a climax for the last section. To cap it off the models marched back on in their evening wear and the girls especially stole the show with their elegant hats while the guys managed an impromptu routine.
It was an enjoyable evening and thanks must go to ex-model Mei Archer whose hard work in coaching the models co-ordinated the end result, the PTA fashion parade committee, the local stores who supplied the clothes, models and everyone involved in making the show a success.
COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE
Terry Rangi 7/2
This year two teams represented the school at the seventh New Zealand Student Commonwealth Conference, held at the Auckland Teachers' Training College on August 24, 1985.
Before the conference actually started, both groups were sent information telling them which countries they were to represent - these were Trinidad and Tobago, and Kiribati. It was lucky that they sent us a map showing the countries of the Commonwealth, or else we would have been lost before we had even started.
The day of the conference finally came and the team from MIIS inconspicuously arrived in a white van with KIRIBATI RULES emblazoned on the bonnet.
The first item on the agenda was a speech from Sir Robert Muldoon, followed by presentation speeches from individual countries. Luckily both of our countries names were pulled out of the hat and both of our brave ( but oh so gullible) representatives got to read their speeches. After lunch study groups were formed to discuss topics of relevance to the Commonwealth. The next item was then the debate which provoked some heated discussion between the delegates. The day ended about 5.30p.m. with all of us having learnt something from the experience.
Susan Harkin 7/2
Youth & Achievements A fifteen year old schoolboy horn Mangere plays The Silent One. It is based on a story by Joy Cowley, and is set in one of the many polynesian islands. It was classed as the special film of the year. even though newspaper critics tried to say that all the ideas that were put across on the book, couldn't be done the same way on film.
Mark Pilisi plays the leading role in Other Halves a film about a sixteen year old street kid having an affair with a thirty year old (wife and mother). Strangely enough, they compared Sue McCanleys novel with the film, and the outcome was much the same as the 'Silent One'.
Both the leading actors were of Polynesian or Maori descent. and under the age of 17. I would like to point out that what these two boys have done are great achievements, and that a lot more youths should be aiming for higher goals.
The critics annoyed me in the way that they condemned and put-down the film versions. I think they should be congratulating these two boys on their accomplishments.

'Charley's Aunt - The Gunslinger'
The Curtain-Raiser was well-liked by all the audiences. It put the audience in the mood for what was to follow. The comedy of stereotyped villains, heros and heroines came across extremely well, as did the quick complication and resolution of the plot. The culminating quick scene was superb. Who would have thought that imitation rowing with the welltimed words "Stroke ... Stroke ... Stroke ..." would have proved so funny. Well done cast.
Andrew Urquhart kept the pace of Charleys Aunt consistent and was really the driving force and unifier of the whole cast. Each scene of this play added interest and humour so that by the end one felt truly satisfied that here was a comedy that had cleverly and fully entertained the audience. Th e young men were appropriately foppish and hyper-active, the ladies serene and demur, the older gentlemen stuffy yet leacherous, and the real Aunt largely over-bearing. Butler Brassett (Jennifer Lees) whose upright, careful tone will be remembered as an excellent contrast to the antics elsew here on stage. All fifth formers ("forced" into completing an assignment and examination question on the play) commented on the outrageous style and performance of Babbs (Fancourt Babberley) the impersonating Aunt ( Mark Griffin) and her falsetto, unladylike smoking and stripping, the " Where the nuts come from" line were undeniable highlights.
Term lls production Gunslinger changed the mood considerably. Firstly it was a musical, and secondly it was set in the American West. One man, whos e family have been killed by Indians, decides to clean up the West; by himself of course. He develops such a good reputation that he is made sheriff . He meets his former partner but they dont see eye to eye and there is conflict. The Indians are cleared to a reservation and the state of Kansas is unified and joined to the rest of the United States; and the partners conflict is finally resolved by the traditional 'show-down at the corral'.
This was a most entertaining musical drama, with 24 main parts, 50 in the cast and the participation of the school orchestra.
THE GUNSLINGER This years term 2 musical The Gunslinger" was an "All-American baseball and apple pie commemoration of the Wild West and included every thing in that great old era from drunks to gunmen and cactii with legs to a John Wayne accent.
When rehearsals began way back in June, August and opening night seemed a long way off. But after a lot of blood, sweat, tears, arguments, debates, disputes and - every now and then a bit of actual rehearsal, the cast hit the stage with great success.
To Miss Neighbour we give our deepest respect for she took on the daunting and somewhat unenviable task of turning the male members of t he cast into singers and getting Stuart Colson to do a "Solo" (?) (I use the term loosely). To Mr Vause (lighting), Mr Kilgour and Mrs Sutherland (set d esign), Miss Fraser (costume), Miss Briggs (make up) and Miss Gallot and her front of house team. We are deeply indebted for without their efforts the production would not have been possible. But our deepest thanks and admiration must go to Mrs Oates, our producer who gave her lime so willin gly in order to make the play the success that it was.
The last night tradition of making various "subtle" changes to the script was upheld once again on the closing night of "Gunslinger". These various addition s included a giant wood-pecker, the origin of chief Black Moons !name, an illicit nagazine and what was either an extremely ugly sheila or the Rocky Horror Picture Show visiting Manurewa High.
Being involved in "Gunslinger" has provided us with many fond memories of hard work and enjoyment which would probably be summed up in one line by Mrs Oates: "Stuart this does not suck".

DRAMA CAMP This years musical drama camp (0 it could be called a camp; hell, lite was pretty tough in between the videos, mini-golf, ping-pong, cooked and served meals and pillow fights) was at Willow Park Christian Camp.
The camp got off to a flying start; the bus crashed (before we boarded it) and a second bus was sent; After a late arrival, rehearsals started. followed by an evening of Clint Eastwood.
This camp was aptly named a "Drama Camp"; it was lull of drama. For instance the psychopath who turned out to be a drunk and the hardest seven bucks Andrew Urquhart ever made.
The second day went much the same as the first and while rehearsals didnt go brilliantly, our acting wasnt as bad as it wouldve been as " Groupie Girl" proved.
Sport was a major feature of this camp and a new one was invented. We called it "Who's got the ball".
The camp finished with a mud fight and a couple of ziggys on the bus back home but luckily we didn't hit anything getting there.

SHORTHAND/TYPING REPORT 1985 MEMO
TO: The Principal
FROM: Miss Janerpik
18 FEBRUARY
I understand the new electronic typewriters have not yet arrived. I have taken the girls down to the pool for typing lessons as you suggested but am concerned that the finger co-ordination exercises you recommend are causing RSI in some of the younger girls.
3 MARCH
The girls are adapting well to the new typewriters. However, the swivel chairs with those dreadful wheels are a nuisance and am finding it difficult stopping students doing wheelies up and down the aisles. May I recommend we get rid of those racing chairs and replace them with old wooden beer crates (cheap and in good supply) - atter all, it is back to basics these days.
16 APRIL
Coping well with the new electronics - wonderful machines on the whole. However, there is a serious problem of sudden noise reaction (or SNR). The automatic centring device, when activated, sets off a staccato zap zap zap sound which in classes over 10 sounds like a platoon of reverberating machine guns. Mrs Howard complains that her experimental wood worms a re becoming quite traumatised by the sound and I suggest we look into the possibility of buying a class set of ear muffs for the biology students and a s ound proof cage' for the wood worms.
19 AUGUST
The new resource room is in dire need of completion. At the moment it is not a pleasant place to work in - a gaping hole in the floor nearly did serious injury to our Mrs Van (caretaker kindly repaired the damage - to the floor I mean). Also, large holes in the wall send up gusts of cold air during the day and hungry rodents during the night (leaving droppings inside the filing cabinets). and a pungent aroma of dust, rust and other decaying things pervades the atmosphere.
9 SEPTEMBER
The new carpet for the typing room has arrived_ However. I am very disappointed with the quality of carpet - large holes - looks as if something has been eating it (do wood worms eat carpet?) I have bought each student a bottle of glue so that it a hole appears in the carpet beneath their feet repair work can be done immediately. The students have been very, very co-operative about this and judging from the number of times they disappear under the desks I can ony assume that the carpet is in a more rui nous state than at first anticipated.

Many thanks. Headmaster, for coming up with your hammer and chisel to fix the squeeky chairs. May I be so impertinent to suggest that next time you test the chairs by rotating them 100 times per minute, you first disengage the student from the chair - unless, of course, personal liability insurance covers us here?

POLYNESIAN FESTIVAL On the 22nd of March this year the Manurewa High School Maori Culture Group set off for the 1985 Auckland Secondary School Polynesian Festival held at James Cook.
Before the festival even began, a lot of hard work had to be done. The group of about 50 students from forms 3 to 6 undertook 2 weeks of long, strenuous, physical "Maoritanga".
Under the leadership of Thomas Hohaia and Keri Milne our most respected leaders, the group had a certain bond which kept us in high spi rits throughout practices.
The thought of meeting old friends and making new ones appealed to us. Weeks became days which then became hours and before we knew it we were there. We arrived at James Cook early, as we were invited to take part in the Powhirt. Soon after we were in our assigned class in costume, waiting to be called out.
POLYNESIAN GROUP 1985 was a new year and it brought to Manurewa High a new group. The Polynesian Group was organised under the influence of this years Cultural and Polynesian festival held at James Cook High School. This group was org anised by and for pupils of Polynesian descent and students who were willing to learn about the different cultures of the Pacific.
Within this group were two sections; They were the Cook Island section and the Samoan section. Like many new groups we had our teething problems.
Although we did not achieve a great deal this year, the foundations have been placed and hopefully the group will continue Thanks must go to Miss Gregory and to the 6th form for their time and patience.

SPEECH CONTEST This year the Sixth Maori Language class, with assistance from Mrs Keung and Mr Pomana, organised the Korimako and Pei to Hurinui Jones school speech contest. As preparations began we were worried that we would not receive adequate participation. but as time grew short out worries were proved wrong.
The day finally arrived. We listened patiently to many speeches, but our job was not yet completed, due to the fact that we had the responsibility of choosing our four representatives. As the competition drew to a close the speakers were chosen.
They were; Derryn and Ken Milne for the Junior and Senior Maori section.
Now the most difficult part was to come and that was the long wait for information concerning the speech topics and where and when they were to be held, Finally they arrived. The speech contest was to be held on a Saturday at Seddon High School,
On the day, the speakers, along with a group of students who came to support them assembled at Seddon High School. The competition in each section was extremely difficult, but all our speakers performed to their fullest potential.
As each speaker anticipated the linal results they were announced starting from the English section then the Maori. First came the Junior E nglish which was won by Derryn Milne. The Junior and Senior Maori were won by two boys attending Hato Petera College.
Samoan Culture Club 1985 This year has seen the formation of a newly organised Samoan Culture Group. The first meeting held at the beginning of the year saw a healthy turn out of 30-40 enthusiastic pupils, eager to learn the Samoan Culture. Throughout the year the group has endeavoured to team different dances, songs and music under the leadership of Tauauni Leavi 01 7/1 and Caroline Stowers and Susan Semisi of the sixth form.
The pupils within the group have enjoyed the many hours spent in the Whare during lunchtimes, learning and experiencing as a group the tradi tions of the Samoan Culture.
The group has seen the opening of doors for the pupils of this school to experience the various cultures of their fellow pupils.
Hopefully next year will see the continuation of another year with the Samoan Culture Group in exposing the pupils to different cultures and in some way contributing to their knowledge of them.
Special thanks must go to Miss Gregory for her time spent in encouraging and counselling the group

MARAE STAY
From Sunday August 11th lo Wednesday 14th the Manurewa High School Maori Cultural Group had a Live In at Tauranganui Marae. The reason for our stay was to be a part of the working environment of an actual marae. We were there also to team and practice new items.
On the Tuesday of our marae stay we were privileged to have Mr. Jerry Norman a liaison officer from A.T.I. to talk to those students who were thin king of leaving school. Later that day we were able to put on a hui for over 200 people which Hate Tipene, Mr. & Mrs. McPherson, Mrs Kakas Foster Home, parents, teachers and the local people graciously attended. On the last day of our marae stay, our group was lucky enough to go to Waingaro hot pools. Our marae stay was truly educational and not only in our Maoritanga. We, the students would like to show our gratitude to those teachers and parents who helped teach and look after us during our marae slay.

The Senior English was a tie breaker between Ken Milne and Andrea Tunks of Henderson High School. For these two girls the competition was not yet over; they had one more which would decide who was to be the representative for Auckland at Wellington.
The decision was made and Andrea Tunks was to represent Auckland at the Nationals. Keri nevertheless went to Wellington to present to this years winner, the Korimako Trophy.
Congratulations must go to our four representatives and especially to Derryn and Keri Milne for their fine achievements.
BLOOD BANK REPORT During March and August, Manurewa High School was again called upon to donate blood to the National Blood Foundation of New Zealand. This call was answered by approximately 80 to 90 reluctant staff members and keen students who possessed the ability to bear the excruciating pain of needle puncture. Other qualities which were required included being 81/2 stone and 16 years of age or over. But you also needed a touch of courage, a hint of gallantry not to mention a touch of madness.
la
The turn out from the public was good and the blood foundation appreciated their help. Every drip counted! For those who participated the reward was time out of class, chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee, or orange drink, and the famous hand out stickers. It was quite beneficial for both the foundation and the school. Hata Dawson 6/3

do ski - (madly down the mountain side. YAY YIPPEE!) The only disadvantage is that there is limited activity taking place outside the school. I am sure we are mature enough to avoid places like McDonalds on the way back to our school. As much as we enjoy lazing around, the options we take can prove beneficial. 'Cooking' for the swinging batchelor to be; 'Recreation' to aid us in our chess games and preparing us for our dotage; and of course 'Ball Room Dancing'! This wonderful option proved to turn a lot of pupils into budding Fred Astaires and Ginger Rogers. But unfortunately, this was not the case as the Prefects Ball proved. (That's another story). We must remember the faithful leachers who are nearly at their wits end when 28 energetic pupils bound into the room screaming, "We're bored Sir!", then proceed to amuse themselves in the most evil and sadistic ways. We should think more about the time and organisation involved to make our General Studies options interesting and enjoyable. All teachers involved deserve much credit for their patience, advice and assistance. The 6th and 7th formers are lucky to have this time allocated to them for their own enjoyment.
SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE 10 September-20 September 'Marsden Wharf at 10.30 coming within 100km of th Auckland center'. Reading on the slip of instructions, I trembled with excitement and nervousness as I approached the massive vessel. As we were going to be inhabitants of the 'Spirit of Adventure' for 10 days, co-existing with 24 other girls and 9 crew whom we had never seen before was very daunting.
I vote we seniors push for TWO glorious General Studies Periods a week! - I am positive the teachers would just love that!!
For the first few days we cruised around Waitemata Harbour; anchoring at Motuihi and Motutapu Island (Home Bay). Buoy! Did we need that sailing practice! Some of the trainees had never been on a boat except for those who crossed on the Cook Strait Ferry. One practice was a 'man overboard' alarm. The crew threw a buoy overboard meant to resemble a human body - or corpse. What was planned to be a 10 minute exercise developed into an arduous 2 hour training session. (thanks to some trainees who kept missing the buoy with the hook when we sailed by. Our last attempt meant running over the buoyant object.) During the first four days the crew threw verbal abuse at us. By referring to 'something that pulls the sail up' - clew like a forestaysail halyard; and something 'like a pulley that tightens something' - a handbilly, really baffled us at first. However, they soon sorted us out. Our 10 day encounter of the 'Spirit' delivered us up to Great Barrier Island, down to Kawau Isalnd. and home again, slaying a couple of nights in each. Sailing in an average of 40 knot winds and gusts of up to 60 knots, we practically flew to our appointed destinations. Wet weather gear and safety harnesses were compulsory. Not being critical, the food was definitely better than any Waharau Camp that I have endured (even the Prefects Camp with Mrs Dixon's 'kitchen delights'). During the day there was a set programme of cleaning the entire ship - inside and out (every morning). After that the skin on our hands almost peeled off!

One of the best moments during the voyage was forming close friendships - partly because of the crowded living conditions. My advice is that anybody who is really keen should 'go for it', as it is an absolutely amazing experience. S. Hillery.

MANUREWA HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP WINNER 1984 In 1984 Alan Simpson, a student in Form Seven, achieved a Scholarship in the University Entrance Scholarships Examination. Alans total mark of 564 was well in excess of the cut off point for the Scholarship awards in 1984.
Alan had the right incentive from the beginning and worked consistently throughout the year. Alans teachers found him to be a very lively and committed participant and encouraged him wherever possible to achieve hi s academic potential. Alan did not lake part in as much sport as he would have liked, but at the same time he realised that the balance of activities w as really important and was able to play squash and jog to keep reasonably fit for the task he had set himself.
Alans future plans are to gain a medical degree and he is undertaking medical intermediate at Auckland Medical School this year. Once achieving his degree, he plans to travel around the world, particularly to the United Kingdom.
Special mention must also be made of Rachel Clarke, another committed and dedicated academic student from the 1984 Form Seven Class. Rachel gained total scholarship marks of 540 and narrowly missed the award of an Entrance Scholarship. Like Alan, she achieved 96% in the Biology Bursary examination, which was the top mark for students in the whole of New Zealand. Rachel is at present attending Auckland University, where she is studying towards a degree in Engineering.
The achievements of both these scholars show the dedication and drive of the teaching staff at this level. A lot of extra work and support was given to the group and, as such, has set the foundations for future achievements at Form Seven level.
VOICE FROM PRESENT Not many 15-year-olds get invited to speak at Anzac Day ceremonies but Manurewas Ken Milne is probably a more experienced public speaker than most adults.
Ken, the guest speaker at the Manukau City ceremony on Thursday, addressed her school on the subject last year.
She has won three national Korimako speech contests for young Maori people in the past three years. Last year, she won her schools fifth form speech competition, its prize for Maori leadership and a Toastmasters' Club contest.
Keri said her Anzac Day speech was based on a story she had read about frontline troops who had called a truce at Christmas and realised they were alike, despite being on different sides.
Her main point is that Anzac Day should be for honouring peace, not remembering war.
"It is young people like me who would fight wars and I think most of us think of war as something to be looked upon with shame, because next time it is going lo be a nuclear war, which is pretty scary."
"Anzac Day is for reflecting on the past, on people who gave their lives, and were loyal and patriotic, but often frightened. We dont want war to happen again, because it would be disastrous for everybody."
Her speech ended with a Maori proverb which points out that war can never be confined to a few people but spreads like a forest fire.
"War always goes beyond the two sides that started it."
The welfare officer of the Manurewa Returned Services Assocalion, Mr. J A Maich, said Keri had been invited to speak because in 1985 the International Year of Youth - it was appropriate that young people's reactions to Anzac Day were heard.
The assocation had approached the local high school for a suitable speaker and it had selected Keri.

IT'S ACADEMIC This year the Its Academic team managed to reach the semi-finals due to the combined effort of the team and coach, Miss Bowen. After many pra ctises during lunchtimes and alter school we arrived at the studios hoping wed learnt all the right things. We sat in the "Green Room" with the two other teams we were to be competing against - St. Marys College and Papakura High School - and tried, unsuccessfully, to relax.
After twenty minutes before filming was due to start, we were taken to the make-up room to have a bit of powder on our noses. We then took our places and, about 45 minutes and what seemed like countless questions later, we found that we had won our heat. This meant coming back that afternoon to repeat the same procedure for the semi-finals.
We were informed that Rosmini College and Otahuhu High School were the two other schools we would be competing against and although we did n't do so well we answered the questions with intelligent answers.
So for the team of Sonya, Alicia, Brett and reserve Jayne it was an interesting nerveracking experience.

JUBILEE The Key Club, on the weekend of the 8-10th March, helped the pad pupils association to run the 25th Jubilee celebrations of our school.
On the Friday was the Wine and Cheese evening; Saturday saw the past pupils play present pupils in certain sports; and the Ball was that night. On Sunday a church service was held and the Library was dedicated to Alex Maich, past Principal.
Our duties included moving and setting up of chairs for the services and speeches: directing cars to park; patrolling the parked cars until 9. 00pm and other such duties. All of these duties were well organised, thanks to Mr. West.
The members of the Key Club who helped during the Jubilee, enjo themselves and seemed to catch some of the festive mood, the past pu who attended the Jubilee had.
The Jubilee was a great success, not only for the past pupils, but also us, who felt we were part of the Jubilee; we, as a school, shall have our celebration later on in the year.
We from the Key Club, would like to thank Mr. West for the use of his 13 1 , during the Jubilee, and for making our weekend that much enjoyable.

1985 KEY CLUB This years Key Club started the year with a B.B.O., at the school pool with some more than others coming away with tarnished images.
This year there has been a great deal of involvement with the PTA and through this we have been keen participants in the School Jubilee celebr ations, part of the famed SPOD SQUAD and also part of the service team for the spectacular fashion parade, the Cultural Council during terms 1 and 2's drama productions.
As part of our community and service work, a number of collections were able to be done, a successful working bee was held at I.H.C. headquarters a nd, for one night, we played the part of waiters and waitresses at a charity dinner held at the Otara Spinal Unit.
Successful fund4aising events included the sizzling hot dog stall and ( the old faithful) the cake stall. A weird n wonderful fancy dress competition was also held on the same day as the Walk-a-thon.
During the year to try and prevent boredom and low attendances at our fortnightly meetings, we had various video evenings, and a Pot Luck' cowboy dinner.
The Key to success with a group such as the Key Club has been to " muck in" and get involved which I hope we have done so as to be known as another successful M.H.S. organisation, our aim being to give service to the community by helping those less fortunate than ourselves and endeavouring to make our environment a more pleasant place in which to live.
Many thanks to everyone who backed me up during the year and, last but not least. a special thanks to Mrs. Oates for dedicating many hours of valuable time assisting and advising us; we are most grateful for this as we could not operate without her. Good Luck to next years group; all the best for great success.

CANTEEN CHAOS Who was cruel enough to allocate teachers and prefects to Canteen duties I wonder? Day in and day out these dedicated people patrol the school gro unds, guard the school gates, and seek out and arrest disturbers of the peace at our beloved canteen.
The canteen has its own special aura. Happy children push their way happily up the aisles, making happy loud noises! Isnt it wonderful how the school fully entrusts two prefects and one teacher to control over 80 boisterous pupils at one time.
Lets find out just what is the real attraction in this area besides the trivial detail that there is food. There are joyous gatherings of friends who have not seen each other for a whole hour, scuffles between supposedly best buddies for whos first in line, and the traditional bullying so as to beat others to the hot pies first. Is this the basis of wonderful memories at school?
Receiving witty answers from a highly strung junior is always a delight (?) especially when you are not clued up on the latest slang!
But I wont kid myself. I suppose that sub-consciously I really do love all t he noise and limited space at the ole canteen and all it has to offer!

The Seventh Form Year A Summation of Events
With Reference To The Seventh Form: "This years 7th formers have been a pleasure to know. They have been
extremely polite. friendly and well-mannered. They have made my job
enjoyable by having contact with such nice young people."
"Diverse."
"A mixed bunch, some are more mixed up than others"
"Age cannot wither, nor custom stale their infinite variety." (misquoted from
'Anthony and Cleopatra')
"Anymore customers today?"
"Where are the rest of my little pixies'?"
"Okay, all right, tine."
"On the whole, a better bunch than last year."
"I think there's a feeling of despondency."
"To em is human."
We are told, throughout our entire schooling career, that the seventh form is the pinnacle of secondary school education; a preparation for those people who have surpassed all of the set education barriers, before they venture forth from the protective wings of the school environs into the harsh reailities of the world. With these inspiring thoughts in mind, the populous of the 7th Form, at the beginning of the year aspired to set their flag on this, their summit of secondary education.
The Pavilion this year initially accommodated a total of 43 students, and then as many staff as could fit into it. This strange phenomenon occurred while the Staff-Room was being refurbished; and during this time the now nicheless 7th form haunted the corridors of S-Block, skilfully showing their ability to adapt to even the most arduous situations. Some of the 7th form species could not adapt properly to these harmful environmental conditions, so by the time the group was reintroduced to its natural habitat. only 29 remained. All but 21/2 of the 29 managed to last the distance to the final exams, a classic case of 'survival of the fittest'?
Although the dedication of the sevenths toward their studies is unsurpassable, there have been moments of levity and high-spiritedness d otted throughout the year. Times such as this have been few and far between, but are remembered forever. Mr Whalens farewell at the end of Term One dampened a few spirits, as did the farewell to the years exchange student, and our friend. Maud Vaenerberg on July 10th. Not long after Mauds departure, a large group of students decided that the mud on the walls of some of the school buildings did not go tar toward making the school environment attractive, so they cleaned it off. With dedication such as this, how can the school go wrong?
Sholastically, an addition was made to the seventh form syllabus this year, in the form of Classical Studies. This subject proved to be quite a popular choice with students and has been described as; interesting, different, and enjoyable. The interest in the subject is reflected by the fact that it is being taken by members of the class at Scholarship level.
The end of Term Two saw a new record being set in the Kitchen Cram, with an astounding 30 people off the floor, the aim for the end of Term Three is 40. Thanks must go to those of the sixth form for making up the numbers and to Kate Hillary, one of last years 7th form, for officiating. It has been a great year the way the 7th form has mixed with those of the other forms within the school, especially with sixth form students, we hope that this goodwill is generated in future years.
As the saying goes, "it takes all kinds to make the world", and this is especially so to make any schools 7th form, much of the reason being due to the fact that people of this age group are thinking, functioning young adults who need lo be able to express themselves, and think for themselves in preparation for leaving school. This final year is supposed to be designed to do just this, well see its effectiveness in years to come_ We wish "Good Luck" to future 7ths and to the school, "Goodbye".
A. Hall and B.M.
FROM THE SEVENTH FORM: "Oh, terrific!"
"That's really deep man."
"What's happening this weekend?"
"Sorry we're late, but . ."
"She's George!"
"Be my bucket, baby."
"It's been fun!"
"It's illegal to keep us in after the bell .. ."
"Life is like a lentil, it takes a while to really appreciate the full flavour."
"Okay, who's using my cup?"
"Anyone got any coffee?"
"Come on, we'd better go to class ..."
"Has the second bell gone?"
"It's been a good year for getting to know the teachers better."

THE PREFECTS
Thanks must go to this year's group of prefects for their willingness to involve themselves, not only in the social activities as a group, but also in their duties around the school. It has been a pleasure to see these people out and about in the school environment, helping to set an example for other pupils to follow. The prefect inclusion as supervisors in the 3rd form camps helped many of the younger people see that 'The Prefects' were humans after all! Such camps formed the basis for some really great relationships with the third form classes, hopefully this trend will continue in the years to come. 1985 has been a success for this group of senior pupils, if next year's Prefects are as enthusiastic, the school will be most fortunate. Head Prefects
PREFECTS' TRIP TO ROTORUA - A LEADERSHIP COURSE On Friday the 2nd of August, 1985 a large band or pupils accompanied by the Acting Principal, Mr. Kidd; Acting Deputy Principal, Mr. West; Mrs. Oates, a seventh form leacher and Mrs. Dixon, the school's Guidance Coordinator, all left the school grounds later than the scheduled 10.00am. The group of pupils guided by such "chiefs of staff" were none other than the vast majority of the 1985 Prefects, 22 to be exact. With an entourage such as this, can one really visualise every event that occurred throughout the duration of the trip? I think not After an interesting drive through the wilds of the more southern reaches of Greater Auckland, slopping in Mat amata for a most essential pit-stop and lunch, the group finally arrived at Kuirau Park Motel in Rotorua where they were destined to stay for the weekend. Settling in took a good hour, after which the group met for the first of the many interesting leadership conferences it was due to have over the course of the weekend. The total number of leadership sessions to be held, were three - all of which took between an hour and an hour and a half to complete.The variety of topics lo be covered within these meetings enticed a large amount of discussion and thought and brought forward a large variety of ideas for all to take note of The topics covered varied from self-awareness through to discussions of school systems - all of which went toward creating a thinking, companionable atmosphere both within the conference room and without. Though these groups were some of the highlights the weekend held. there were other adventures in store for all as the weekend progressed. Some found the beauty of Lake Rotorua at six in the morning irresistible, others discovered that not just persons below the age of ten can have fun wearing funny faces and shooting water pistols. One can only say that the diversity of such personalities provided 'a touch of colour', to everything the party did. The company toured forth from the Motel a large number of times to enjoy some of Rotorua's attractions. The weekend included: a visit to the Polynesian Hot Pools, a visit to Rainbow/Fairy Springs, rides on the Gondolas and the Luge (which Mr. Kidd mastered with perfection and Mr. West attacked with great daring - while Mrs. Oates and Mrs. Dixon stood by and observed . . .), dinner at "Friar Tuck's Restaurant" and finally, a stopover at the Agrodome on the way home - where two ardent animal lovers inspected the "living quarters" of the stars of the show as they curled contentedly in the cages. We all arrived back at our respective homes on Sunday afternoon exhausted, but still in one piece. Overall, the combination of the conferences and the social activities brought the group together, supervisors included. Everyone listened to the opinions of those around them and contemplated their thoughts, each person learnt just a little bit more about those with whom they associate. It was a thoroughly enjoyable learning experience for all involved, the only complaint being that it wasn't long enough! Thanks must go to the staff involved in the trip, the Prefects much appreciated your guidance, and ability to lead by example! Queen B. 7/1
THE PREFECTS BALL Wednesday August 71h, 1985 at the Mandalay Reception Lounge, was the date set for the Ball. As time progressed, it loomed closer and closer and the list of "things to do" appeared to develop from a molehill to a mountain. Thanks to great teamwork, and the co-operation of many people outside of the Prefect squad, everything came together in a style greater than ever before - if we do say so ourselves ... The attendance at the Ball this year was an astounding 484 people. just over one hundred more than attended last year. Thanks must go to everybody who came, for their co-operation and willingness to enjoy themselves with respect to their surroundings and decorum. It was a pleasure to see the large numbers of: teachers and their partners, members of the Board of Governors, P.T.A. members, and Mr 8 Mrs Kidd, enjoying themselves alongside the senior pupils of the school, thanks to you all. This year, decorations added a touch of personality to the Mandalay environment. The effort that went into the setting up on Wednesday afternoon, by the Prefects, was well noted and created a most desirable effect. As usual the quality of the band, the supper, and refreshments was high so adding the necessary "final touches" to this most enjoyable evening. Once again thanks must go to all who attended for their response, to the Prefects for organising the evening, and to the many un-named people without whom the Ball would not have existed.

WAHARAU LEADERSHIP CAMP 6 - 8 MARCH The role of a Prefect is not completely achieved the moment you're handed the badge; it actually takes a bit of thought and effort to be successful in the conspicuous role of a leader. The Prefect's camp, held at the beginning of each year is designed to bring the group together and train them in a few leadership skills so that the group can function effectively as a team in future activities. The group this year, however, left the school grounds with feelings of trepidation and several dubious comments when it was discovered that Mr. Faulding, Sports' Co-Ordinator Extraordinaire, was accompanying us, backed up by the Aerobic's Expert Miss Bold. The only consolation was the presence of Mrs. Dixon whose cooking skills came highly recommended. As for Mr. Thomson and that Mr. Kidd fella, who knew what dastardly deeds they had deviously cooked up for this unfortunate group? On arrival at Waharau we were greeted with the prospect of survival Swimming - which sounded rather ominous. The swimming was fun, but getting into the water over innumerable sharp rocks, which had a tendency to cause grimaces of pain and strange comments from sufferers, caused black looks to be directed at Mr. Faulding on emergence. The afternoon was dedicated to a rather long, muddy tramp. For those with "the urge" and a tendency toward masochism, Mr. Faulding took them for a run around the course: those more lenient toward themselves went with Miss Bold's medium-paced group, and those who did not believe at all in self-abuse stayed with Mr. Thomson in the slow group everyone got back alive. The next day we were graced with the presence of Mr. Paul Stewart, an instructor at the Manurewa Rec. Centre, who took us for canoeing on and under the water at the Quarry Lake. Everyone thought it was fun, until we were all required to tip our canoes over, lap on the base three times, then try and gel out. ("Try" being the operative word). A mouthful of Lake water tended to dampen even the most enthusiastic of participants. Later in the day were the initiative activities - it is amazing how many people can actually fit under a picinic table when tied together - and finally that night a night trail, where everyone managed to avoid the carefully laid traps of the organisers. Time went by quickly, and the last night's dinner and concert was a great successl The next day started out as the one before with a brisk run. We had a discussion session, then a massive clean-up. The bus arrived, "saved at last", or so we thought ... Next destination, the Papakura Military Camp more physical torture, and a lot of great fun. The incorporation of the 12fr well proved to be a challenge and the flying-fox a breath-taker, some attacking it front-on, some going backwards, and others in pairs. The camp was filled with plenty of physical activities, as our sore and aching bodies proved, but it also served a variety of valuable functions. The following points were made in the discussion session at the end of the camp, which were found to be some of the requirements needed to succeed as a leader: learning to involve others in activities, being aware of peoples' limitations and accepting them, interacting with leachers and accepting the fact that they are human too, coming together to work as a group, and learning basic skills in leading a group. All of these points need to be absorbed and reflected by any leader, and this camp helps to achieve this requirement, before the majority of the year's Prefects can carry out their role.

A THOUGHT: 'I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference.'
6 months of construction have gone into the new extension to the school's indoor recreational Modifies. While most schools boast about size, design and versatility, our extension is leading the field in up-to-date floor technology. French vinyl is the latest trend and we have itiiili Choice, yay, neat-o. The gym packs 2 badminton courts, extending across the full size volleyball court and mini basket ball court. The school is hoping to have mirrors put along one of the walls for the dance groups and have ballet bars erected also. Beside the gym area are 2 new changing rooms and a class room. The classroom is hopefully going to be converted into a weight training room which the various teams can book for use, (Just the thing our 1st XI Girls Soccer Team needs).

WALKATHON 1985 OnWednesdayafternoonJuly10.ManurewaHighSchoolstudentsset outtowalkbeforetheycouldride. The growing need for a mini bus had prompted the organisation of a walka-thon in order to raise funds for such a vehicle. The sun shone and there was a relaxed atmosphere as approximately 1400 pupils exerted themselves prior to the School's mid-term break. Many students saw the opportunity to do some winter training and ran the course, while others preferred to enjoy the walk. Mr Kidd, Acting Principal, said that "the mini bus, when purchased, will be used to transport groups of students to sports venues, cultural activities and on field trips, especially when hiring a bus would be uneconomical." Every student was required to participate in an event which has always engendered great enthusiasm, school spirit and a desire to contribute unselfishly for the benefit of the whole school. The tradition of total participation, established in the earliest 20 mile walka-thon of 1969, continued this year. Several blind students and one student in a wheelchair joined in the hunt for sponsors, in order to raise the necessary amount. Mr Main spoke optimistically about the outcome: "On paper we should have raised at least $10,000 - the final figure will depend on the reliability of the people who pledged money and on the prompt collection of the funds by our students. A light-hearted touch was added by the organisation of a fancy dress
AO competition,
Although all students were premited to wear mufti, the schools Key Club offered prizes for the best fancy dress to be worn on the walk - togas in the middle of winter. An amount very near the goal was finally collected_ Thanks must go to Mr Main for his sterling efforts to raise this amount. fe

A term as acting principal of M.H.S. which should have begun unremark- able for Mr Kidd is now recalled by him with considerable amazement. This has been Mr Kidd's fifth year at the High School and during his time none of the challenges which have confronted him could have prepared him for the sequence of events which began with the fire which damaged records and equipment in the administration block.
Mr Kidd says he will never forget the overwhelming support which he received at the time and this continued throughout the term. Successes

"All this has occurred despite the lack of teaching space and staff ( and the consequent changes to rooming and time-tabling). These conditions should have been intolerable".

GIRLS 1ST XI SOCCER
THE GREAT ENDURANCE TEST TRIATHLON
The soccer season has been slightly disappointing this year for the Girls 1st XI soccer team. Had there been more full team turnouts for practices, this may not have been the case. At times the team played exceedingly well, but this was spoilt by the lack of interest shown in some games. However, injuries during the season contributed to one or two unfortunate results Two of our players, Angela Dye and Claudia Huber, demonstrated their versatility, being placed into positions they were unaccustomed to and doing extremely well. Our final placing was second equal with Papatoetoe High, and we were the only team to score against Rosehill College. the eventual winners dour section. Trials were held mid-year for the South Auckland rep. Team. Chosen from Manurewa High School were Claudia Huber, Angela Dye, Sheryl Brown and Tokarahi Vaetoru. Being part of the Rep team was a good experience, lots of fun, and thoroughly enjoyed by all four girls. Sarah Marshall, a new member to our team, has shown promise, improving as the year progressed. For this she has been awarded the Most Improved Player of the Year trophy. The Player of the Year trophy has been awarded to Debbie Young, a veteran of soccer, for her outstanding effort, total commitment and dedication to the team. Best of luck for the future to the girls that are leaving, and many thanks for all the time and effort put in over the years. May you continue to enjoy your involvement in sports, soccer in particular. Perhaps one day we could come together and repeat our 'Australian Experience' of '84. Thanks to Mr Beuning for coaching us this year and for always having an encouraging word for his team.
"Men of Iron", "Heldrivers", "Inexhaustible figures of strength" or more aptly known as triathletes. They all need two special qualities: personal commitment and perserverance. The thrill of the competition and the completion of the event leaves your body on a temporary high. The triathlon is no new sport, as many would think; coverage of top events has only just started to develop a public interest. The beginning was on the island of Kona, Hawaii where the ultimate challenge, the Budlight Ironman Triathlon World Championships were first started in the mid 1970's. A thousand or so contestants compete annually on the 6th October in the 'Optimum Challenge', swimming 2.5 miles around Kailua Bay, cycling 112 miles in the burning Hawaiin sun, and finally setting out fora 26 mile run to the finish. Only the true pureants (and crazy) train for this event; true dedication. The triathlon can sometimes become expensive but it's all worth it when you finish with as much speed, joy of soul as possible and a feeling of true accomplishment. Standard triathlon equipment includes: far the first discipline swimming - swimming goggles, swim cap, speedo trunks; the cycling section was the most expensive individual item - the bike, ranging in price from $500 to around $2,000 for a very light 10 to 12 speed, a helmet, shorts, top and shoes; running - shorts, top and running shoes. Some use a Id-suit; a single skin tight suit for all disciplines. This saves lime. The individual will now realise his or her potential through application which will decide what results the body will give. 'Perserverance produce_ rewards and personal satisfaction.' This year for the first time Manurewa High School set up a triathlon squad to take part in the Auckland Secondary Schools Triathlon Championships. These were held on the 30th March, at Long Bay and the 17th April at Howick. The first race drew a large number of competitors to an early morning start time; our school had a team of 10 with Paul Burton and Pam Samuels putting on good performances for high placings in their respective sections. The second event was held on the sloping roads and rough waters of the Eastern Suburbs on a chilly April afternoon. Our thanks go to Mr. Woods who accompanied us to this event which saw Gary Churcher who had looked for a good performance unfortunately having to pull out with hypothermia. Pam Samuels improved her high placing in the last "tri" to finish third in the Senior girls section. This year has seen the start of a trend with much interest being shown by juniors who will, if encouraged, continue to improve and go to the top. All that is needed in a triathlon event is a little determination, a lot of commitment and a few screws loose and the rewards will be many (if not in the form of trophies) in the pride of self accomplishment, Robert Turnbull
BOYS 1ST XI SOCCER REPORT The 1985 football season has proved to be one of the most enjoyable and successful for several years. In the grading round the team played seven games for 4 wins, 2 losses and a draw. This round provided some excellent results but not the consistency that the team produced later in the season. The highlights of the round included victories over James Cook (2-0), and in Otahuhu (3-0); two traditional rivals. The results placed the team in the B2 Competition Is higher grade than the team has played in for several seasons). II was in this division that the 1st XI produced its best football. From the first game when Manurewa defeated Papatoetoe 1st XI, 5-2, the team signalled the type of football it would play for the rest of the season. This game was played at a fast pace with Manurewa creating entertaining and skilful football. In the competition round Manurewa won 6 out of 7 games thus taking the championship title for 92 by a clear margin. In achieving this excellent result the team scored 24 goals while conceding only 8. Throughout the season Anthony de Vries (Captain). Patrick Yates, and Trevor Shirley provided good leadership for the side. The defence consisting of Philip Duffield, Trevor Shirley, Anthony de Vries, and Derek Quigley provided a solid and consistent platform from which to build solid attacks. In midfield Dean Griffith directed play skilfully and was well assisted by Peter Hunter, Patrick Yates, Richard Harrison and Kevin Davidson. The team had its most potent striking force for several seasons in David Joynt, David McFarlane and Martin Baker, David McFarlanehad an excellent season scoring a total of 14 goals (including 2 hat-tricks). Robert Mounttord also had an outstanding season and proved himself to be a useful goalkeeper. The team notes its appreciation to Mrs Mountford, Mrs McFarlane, Mr Yates Mr Duffield and Mr Griffiths for their valuable support throughout the season.
ORIENTEERING
Manurewa High School was represented by a boys' and girls' team at this year's Auckland Secondary Schools Orienteering Championships. This sport, is becoming increasingly popular in N.Z. and the standard of competition is rising every year. Some schools have representatives who compete in this sport at club level and this makes it difficult for our teams, who have only a handful of club orienteers. Our teams mainly consist of novices but they always perform very well. This year there were 37 teams entered in the boys' competition and our team finished in 13th place. Our best runner was Andrew Kitchener with a time of 36min 39sec. There were 33 teams in the girls' section and our team finished in 11th place. Santa Males was our best runner with a time of 46min 34 sec. The team members were: Boys: Neville Phillips, Chris Staples, Andrew Clarke, Michael Travers. Danniel Mattison, Andrew Kitchener. Girls: Mary Ann Jackson, Julie McKinnon, Mareina Johnson, Santa Males, Katrina Amiria, Kristine Godden, Hayley Armstrong. The schools thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Kitchener for helping to prepare the teams.
We look forward to continuing success in the 1986 season. Mr Van Kralingen ICoachl
TABLE TENNIS REPORT
NATIONAL MOUNTED GAMES FOR DISABLED - 1985
Both the boys and girls team gained a high placing in the annual South Auckland Interschool tournament. The boy's team, consisting of Brett Davis, Jeremy Bradshaw, Tony Easton and Mark Hill, played skilful table tennis and were rewarded with first place. They then went on to the North Island Champs and got through to the semi-final and narrowly lost, though all played outstanding table tennis.
In March this year, I was lucky enough to be chosen to represent Whitford in the National Mounted Games for the Disabled in Wellington. The other member of my team was Sefo another blind person. We were accompanied by Sue Fruen our riding instructor.
The girl's team consisting of Nicola Smith, Julie Howes, Denise McMillan, Margaret Summerlield and Lisa Morrison (reserve), also achieved a fine placing, coming second in South Auckland. All played extremely well. Thanks must go to Mr Hollis and Mr Humphreys for their time and efforts. Both teams enjoyed the competition and hope that table tennis will get more recognition in the future.
On Friday 12 March we flew down to Wellington. We were to stay at Burnham Lodge Trentham where the games were held. The next morning after the sixty or so participants had been issued with homes the games were opened. My first event was the obstacle race. As well as coming first in this, I also got places in my other events. I was first in best rider, show jumping and grooming gear race, and second in horse mastership quiz and dressage lest.
Nicola Smith 6/2
On Sunday afternoon after all the events had finished, the prizes were presented. Whitford team was presented with the best team cup. As well as this, I received the eventing cup plus a special jumping prize. Because the cups have to be sent back after a year, we also were presented with medals which we could keep. I enjoyed the experience very much and am glad to have been able to take part in the games. Teri Mcelroy (Bluegum)

INSTEP DANCE GROUP Here it is! Yes, the Instep Dance Group's 1985 newsletter. We have danced our toes off and smiled like crazy, in front of schools such as Manurewa, Greenmeadows and Weymouth Intermediates. We received a great response from all of the schools, as well as thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Out repertoire consisted of cheerleading, wild west and the zany "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" routines. Continuous morning practises (7.30 a.m.) helped us to get up to standard for an International Dance Conference in the second term. Although neither of our dances were accepted we had a fantastic time. (We did appear of National T.V. though in the Conference Preview). Many of you may remember us in the musical we were the crazy, outgoing, dancing cowboys. All of this couldn't have been done without the leadership of Miss Briggs and Miss Bold throughout the year. Be ready for the instep dance group sometime in the future. We are coming!!! Wendy Petree, Megan Crenfeldt
TOP HOUSE REPORT Monday 18th February was the day of our annual Top House event. We managed to get the fine day that we had ordered and set about having lots of fun and laughs. In the morning the seniors had swimming which involved doing bizarre things that didn't really resemble the sport- like tyre, sack and chariot races. The highlight of the morning was the staff versus pupil race, in which Miss Bold managed to swim an entire length on her own in front of the whole senior school! While the seniors were at the pool the juniors sweated it out on the field, competing in obstacle courses, stilt races and other events. It was enlightening for pupils to see who paired up with who for the staff versus pupil 3 legged race!! Lots of good laughs. In the afternoon the juniors and seniors swapped over. We all had a great day with the champion house being Walker.
ATHLETICS On March 14th we sent a team of 40 students to Massey Park in Papakura, to compete against 15 other schools in the Manukau Secondary School Championships. Those placed then book part in the North Island Championships on March 30th in Hamilton. Chris lkitule recorded a record jump disallowed due to wind assistance. Rachel Wheeler was placed 4th in the Junior Girls' 400 meters and Suzanne Estall finished in the first eight in the Intermediate Girls' long jump. The team was selected from our own school championships held early in the year. The results were:Champion Runner Up Jnr. Boys C Ikitule Jnr. Girls R Wheeler Int. Boys S Wheeler C Morrison Int. Girls Tie - D Cassidy and S Estall Snr. Boys SLeau Snr. Girls K Arniria P Hughes Three school records were broken: K Jaggard Junior Girls 1500m C Morrison - Intermediate Boys 3000m P Hughes - Senior Girls 3000m Katrina Amiria 6/2
GIRLS VOLLEYBALL
TEN-PIN BOWLING During the second term, Mr MacLeod instigated the forming of a ten-pin bowling team, to compete in the inter-school competitions held at the new 'Super Strike' bowling alley in Papatoetoe. This popluar American game which is relatively unknown in New Zealand drew an enthusiastic response from pupils from Form 3-7: three teams, consisting of four members each were formed. The teams competed every Thursday at 4.00p.m. for six weeks. Unfortunately, due to the apathy and lax organisational skills of teachers from other Auckland schools, the competition for MHS consisted of only one team from Aorere College. However, the competition went on, with all four teams competing against each other. Badges were awarded to those who gained 125 points or mom, 150 points or more etc up to 300 (the highest score). Quite a number of MHS players received these badges. The teams from MHS were: Manurewa 1 Manurewa 2 Manurewa 3 Stephen Mills Stuart MacLeod Heath McKenae Grant Grenfeld David Pegler Brett Reynolds Luke Peters Peter Nakhle Darren Wills James Jobe Greg Locke Craig Pope Although the standard of bowling was very high. Manurewa 1 was the over-all winner at the end, receiving a trophy. All the players enjoyed the experience of participating in the game.
r
Regular and enjoyable practices for this newly formed team have seen an improvement in skills and performance this year. Because the learn was newly formed, emphasis on skills of the game were concentrated on to produce a more able team.

The fact that there is no South Auckland Volleyball competition has not daunted the enthusiasm of senior players and several promising and interested juniors. This was demonstrated in a fast and exciting match against Papatoetoe High School which resulted in a win for Manurewa. Hopefully these informal matches will set a precedent for more serious involvement in Term One 1986 at the Otahuhu Competition. Special thanks from the learn must go to Mrs Sutherland for her time and efforts contributed to the team.
JUNIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL This years basketball season went exceptionally well, even though there the usual ups and downs. All girls played up to their best standards. Even though our winning status wasn't very high, our sportsmanship and team spirit made up for our losses. The team would like to express their appreciation to Miss Nippard and Mr Longbottom for training us and providing transportation to our games. The 1985 Junior Basketball Team (Girls) were:Stacey Martin, Leona Teina, Patsy-Ann Grace, Kushla Waka, Margaret Aerenga, Ngaire Rolston. Deanne Katene.

LONG HOURS REWARDED Long hours of coaching by 6th Form representative netballer, AnneMarie Noovao were rewarded when her 3A Grade Netball learn won the Manukau Secondary Schools' Championships.
The competition which was established last year between Manurewa, James Cook, Papakura, Papatoetoe and Hillary Colleges, has involved the girls in training on Fridays after school and Mondays at lunchtimes in preparation for the games on Tuesdays after school.
Many of the girls already have busy schedules as they play for club teams. Anne-Marie said it was tremendous that there was at least sufficient enthusiasm to carry on an inter-school competition as well: the image of netball seems to have improved enormously with extra boost of new unifor ms and gear. The job has been a rewarding one for Anne-Marie.
"The girls have been really committed and determined; they play as a team and gain enjoyment from their games", she said.
The competition began in April and in ended in August. The trophy awarded the team will be cared for by each girl for three weeks each and then the school will continue to display it.
In addition to this achievement, the girls were runners-up in the Coca Cola competition which was a one-day event held on July 14.
Under 14 Rugby - Coach/Manager This years team won their competition with an unbeaten record of 15 wins and 1 draw. The team also competed in and won a quadrangular 10 aside tournament against Papakura, Waiuku and Rosehill at the end of the lst term, winning all games. A core of fine talent in the side and excellent support contributed to their record. The toughest games of the season were against Tuakau (18-20) and Waiuku (10-4) and in the second round the match against St. Stephens (6-6) played on a wet, muddy ground, a surpri singly good game in view of the conditions. The final game this year 6). In the second half some large substitutes were introduced by St. Stephens. each one of whom must have weighed 80kg and it almost took half the team to drag him down. An ankle lap at one stage produced what seemed like an earthquake. Salu Palelei was the outstanding player and an excellent season was had by Cedric Naera (Capt), Edwin Pourewa and R obert Cridland in particular, Mark McDonald contributed with some fine kicking at times. Support from parents (transport, washing and side-line b arracking) was much better this year. Lets hope we see these boys in action again next year.
Mr. M. H. Giles.
Two teams operate at this level in the school the second team is also coached by a student Pauline Terei.
Both coaches are active in the sport themselves. Anne-Marie is a member of the Auckland Tournament team; trials were held for this team at the beginning of July contenders being the top players for all the Auckland clubs participating in the Auckland Netball Association at Mt. Eden.
Anne-Maries first year as a rep and trialist in 1984 led to her inclusion in the Auckland Under 20s team. There are 10 in the squad this year and she is involved in training twice a week herself with games being held on Wednesdays and Sundays. She competed in the New Zealand National Tournament from August 27 to 31 in Wellington. From this series will be chosen the Under 21 Tnalists who will travel to Australia in next years winter season and the NZ Young Internationals who anticipate travel in Canada.
It is not surprising that Anne-Marie has played netball since she was 10 years old. With a mum who played for AGGS and a spoils-minded dad, not to mention sisters, Peggy who is a Manurewa Under 14 Rep and Jane who is an Auckland Under 16 Rep, she has received every encouragment.
The girls in the 3.A team who have benetitted from Anne-Maries experience and enthusiasm are: Shirley Lowe, Janine Clarkson, Vanessa Collins, Kim Wenzlick, Josephine Hudson, Peggy Noovao (Captain), Roberta Terei (Vice Captain).
SKATERS DO WELL IN BRISBANE Hard work and dedication to sport has been rewarded lor three Manurewa High School students, by inclusion in the New Zealand Junior Roller Skating Squad.
The squad competed in Brisbane against Australia from June 3 to June B.
The team comprising approximately 24 artistic and t6 speed skaters, as well as a junior boys hockey team, from all over New Zealand, departed for the week-long competition on Saturday, June 1.
Nicola Spicer (13) and David McFarlane (15), are members of one of the largest skating clubs in New Zealand - the Manukau City Roller Skating Club.
Rebecca Langridge (14), is a member of the Papatoetoe Roller Skating Club. She has been skating for ten years and, like the other two, has been involved in many local and national competitions which have made them eligible for the representative team.
David competed at the competition, with an overall placing of 4th. his best event being the 5000 metre race in which he gained a 2nd.
1ST XV RUGBY REPORT The 1985 season was one of mixed success for the Manurewa High 1st XV. Following a series of tough build-up games against teams of the calibre of Wesley and Pukekohe firsts, the Manurewa team settled into a pattern of running 15 man rugby. The side dropped just one game in the first round of competition (12-0 to a fired up St. Stephens "A" side). During the second round of matches, the team continued on its winning way and, with just two games remaining, was in a position to take out the B division championship. Narrow losses in the final two bruising encouters of the year to both Wesley (6-7) and St. Stephens (10-17) left the side in third place on the table, with 14 points (147 points for and 54 against). Just one point behind Wesley and lour behind St. Stephens.
However, the hardest, and perhaps most important game of the year was the emotionally charged Hughes and Cossar Cup match against Mountford Parks mud, the referee and lastly James Cooks 1st XV. Although enjoying a territional advantage throughout a game which should have been ours. Manurewa let the match slip into the hands of James Cook who, receiving a massive advantage in the penalty count, used its experience to play a light, it boring, game coming out victors 15-6. (The referee being the deciding factor as both sides scored only 1 try apiece).
Although the season wasnt as successful as hoped. thanks must be given to hardworking coach Murray Halleur, who molded the side into a clo se-knit enthusiastic unit. Thanks also to the number of supporters who
turned out regularly for our home matches.

His team was 1st in the relay and 1st overall.
The three champions are also attracted to the social aspect of skating. II is a great way to meet people and maintain fitness at the same time.
For the competitive skater, however, it may mean early morning or evening practices of 1-2 hours every day.
Death of a Gift The trenches filled with blood and death
With boys and men, no end in sight. Their country now is in their debt. To fight and die, can this be right? The senseless murder of boys and men
' The barbaric blasting. God help them all! Will it ever come to an end
How many million more will fall?
To fight for your country, you may be proud
To fight fora belief, you'll be hon'red
But the senseless killing should not be allowed.
The death and destractionls surely absurd.
For life is a pearl, to be treasured and
Loved. A gift, not an offering from man to the land

3rd Form Drama Option This time last year, all of us in the Drama Option were busy making up our minds what to take for our options at High School.
We looked down the list and saw Drama. Most of us immediately thought,"Oh good this will be fun". Drama is fun! But we have done more and learned more than we expected. We have worked on all aspects of Drama from acting right through to drawing, sketching and blocking. Our Drama option has also covered costumes, make-up, acting and going out on trips. Every lesson we learned something new.
"The drama option with Mrs. Oates has been a great success and a very worthwhile experience. There has been a lot of fun on a serious basis. During the year the course has covered most aspects of drama. To start with 3A2 Drama considered theory a bit dull but soon learnt to appreciate the brighter side. During the year 3A2 Drama has been on several field trips to threatres both to observe the sets of stages and to watch the plays. Each member has gained more than just one thing from this option. I advise that anybody interested in drama will benefit a great deal from this option."
A typical session begins with a warm-up. This isnt like a warm-up for P.E. but it is just as important. We do short exercises like walking round the room and moving in different ways to represent things. We also do warm-ups using our voices to exercise our vocal chords. After our warm-up we find out what we will be doing for the lesson. Usually our work is based on a theme (which changes every time). We next work on all sorts of ideas, some as confusing as sound pictures and some which are easier to understand like short skits. This is the practical side. The main written work we do is writing in our journal. Our journal is a record of the days work and our ideas about it. For instance, what we learnt, what we enjoyed, what we found difficult are recorded. There is only one other time when we do writing and this is when we do theory. Even in Drama there are things that have to be written down. What gets written down in notes are subjects like the stage, make-up and notes on some productions. The Drama course this year has been thorough and enjoyable.
1985 ORCHESTRA This year has been a very successful year for the Orchestra. With the help of Miss Neighbour, Mr. Jarrett and the cooperation of all the members, we managed to perform creditably on several occasions.These included our ANZAC service, Silver Jubilee, "GUNSLINGER", School Assemblies, and at Greenmeadows , Weymouth and Manurewa Intermediates.
The second term commenced with a 3-day camp at Willow Park, where we learned how to live as a group, and also to learn some new music. This undoubtedly was the highlight of the year. On the last day of the second term, we had a combined lunch in M2 which we all enjoyed.
After this eventful year, the Orchestra had been rewarded with many things and Miss Neighbour had been rewarded with her "Mr. Right". CONGRATULATIONS!!! As Orchestra leader, I want to thank Miss Neighbour, Mr. Jarrett, and all the members of the Orchestra, for making this year a great year for all of us.

ORCHESTRA - CAMP Monday 8th July: Approximately 30 people, that is, teachers too, headed for Willow Park, armed with musical instruments. Once we had arrived (TOTALLY EXHAUSTED), we had lunch, then got into practising. We learned several new pieces during the course of the camp, one being the overture to our school musical. "The Gunslinger".
There was a Christian convention on while we were there, and I must admit I admired the members self control, as 30 rowdy kids are not the easiest to put up with.
Tuesday morning we were woken up at 7.30 to go on a run (all except for two 6th formers who will remain nameless), and after breakfast it was time to get back to work. Tuesday night we had a talent evening, which proved to be a very embarrassing and trying experience. Nevertheless we all seemed to come out of it unscathed.
After one hours sleep on Monday night you would have thought an early night was in order, but not likely. Tuesday ended up with two hours for some. Once again, there was a run next morning - groan! (But those two 6th formers didn't go - AGAIN).
Wednesday morning was spent practising, but after lunch we packed up and came home.
On behalf of the pupils involved I would like to thank teachers and anyone else who helped organise our camp as it was a thoroughly enjoyable and profitable one.

CHOIR 1985 The annual Manukau Schools Music Festival to be held at the end of term one meant much hard work for the 1985 School Choir. Alongside learning fun pieces such as "Chanson Damour" and "Chattanooga ChocChoo" many harder pieces had to be grappled with, especially those by Bach and Handel which were included in the programme to commemorate the 300th Anniversary of the births of both of these composers. During this term, the choir continued although dwindled in numbers, and focused on more modern songs.
All in all, an enjoyable time has been had by all on Tuesday lunchtimes under the baton of Mrs. Hebenton and with Mrs. Burney on the ivories.

The small face looked up. He was about five. He had fair skin and was very freckled. His hair was a blazon of fiery gold. What was he doing?
The small boy wandered aimlessly outside the theatre his blue eyes troubled. A small frown punctured his pouting lips and a tiny tear droplet fell. He was lost. His hands fluttered up and down in begging supplication and his eyes misted in blue self pity. No-one noticed him, no-one cared.
The little green tracksuit he was wearing was streaked with chocolate smudges yet his hands were clean. The shoelace on his left sneaker was loose and flapped incessantly on the pavement as his small feet fearfully pattered along the concrete path.
An eerie plaintive wailing could now be heard; it crescendoed up and down the scale. A cry of lost bleating lambs and lost little children. Noone stopped; no-one cared. It raised in intensity, its violence so shocking from one so small. No-one noticed. The poor child curled up into a ball of smothered panting, his small body rocking back and forth. A woman tripped over him, "Shit" and hastily carried on.
Soon a cascade of forms spewed from the cinema door. Human odour, sweat and deodorants shimmied in the air. The red-headed boy was buffe ted and struck aside. The little form rose to his feet and confusedly fell into someone.
"Watch where youre going ehl" The anonymous voice screeched. Weary and unsure the small child blinked in rapid succession. Passing blurred image s and hearing a myriad of voices, his snivelling face shied from rushing people. Head banging with the monotony of unremitting headache.
Tears streamed down his face blocking his view. Efficiently a woman patted him. "Johnny?" turned him around then searchingly he went on. With renewed vigour the boy cried - he was crying for his mother maternal, warm embrace - soft hands and smooth eyes.
The blood spatterd across the car windshield. The fair skin was now red. Bloodied and twisted what was once the small boy with freckles and fiery
blazon of hair. was now an unrecognisable mass. •
Now they took notice: now they saw. All of the crowd stopped and saw .. "Oh my God!" The poor child" "What type of parent . .?" " Why didn't someone do something?" "Poor, poor.,."

NEW ZEALAND SECONDARY SCHOOLS CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS On FRIDAY 24 JUNE, with Mr. Vause as Manager and Miss Briggs, Manageress. the school team of 8 boys and 3 girls travelled by mini-bus to Levin to compete in the New Zealand Secondary Schools CrossCountry Championships.
Our teams lined up on the Saturday against teams from all over New Zealand. The weather, would you believe, was wet, cold and miserable with mud everywhere. Everybody competed without the elements affecting an enjoyable and successful day with Manurewa High School showing the flag i n a New Zealand Championship.
The dance at the local Foxton High School on the Saturday night gave the opportunity for all to mix with fellow athletes.
A great and mad weekend, thanks go to Mr. Vause and Miss Briggs for making the trip possible.
SATURDAY 26 SEPTEMBER saw our runners in action again. The event was the South Auckland Secondary Schools Cross-Country Champ ionships held at Wesley College. The conditions were generally firm (but boggy enough for one of our athletes to lose her shoe) with strong winds. Even so, the day was enjoyable with some commendable individual performances. In the teams event, Manurewa High School also finished strongly, especially in gaining third place in the junior boys event. Thanks again must go to Mr. Vause and Miss Briggs for their organisation and encouragement.
SPORTSPERSON OF THE YEAR INDOOR CRICKET
The 1985 M.H.S. Sportsperson of the Year was announced at the Annual Sportsperson Dinner on October 12. Anne Marie Noovao, who won the title for her contribution to netball, has demonstrated throughout her years at M.H.S., her willingness to involve herself in all aspects of school life and to commit herself totally in the pursuit of sporting goals. Anne Marie has given her time unselfishly also in order to train younger sportspeople and she has combined her sporting activities with other distinctions achieved through her leadership role.
eloved highschool's most successful team is not our "unbeatable"
=fifteen, nor is it our rampaging Chess team. It is the "Chunderheads".
a rising star has come from this band of fighters and many teams felt the taste of defeat at the hands of these men. Trophies have been Superleague players selected and Rep. players chosen.
ire proud of our name and many trophies at Holmes Road wear it. We to successful that teams are now complaining when we go into their petition as they feel they have no chance - they don't!
The other nominees for the award were: Dean Hogwood (Martial Arts), Tania Bell (Softball), Warwick Wilson (Gymnastics), Karl Larsen (Rugby), David McFarlane (Roller Skating) , Aaron Paleilei (Rugby League).
there is another side to N.Z.s fastest growing sport, the social side. , we tear home from school to play the teachers at 4.30 p.m. (only 4-3 the series) and the blind on Sundays (they thrash any side who dare Il enge them). Even Mr. McLeods form class played one Friday after ool - just for fun.
gy to bowl, is it?
The presentation was made before an audience of team members, senior students, staff, parents and invited guests, including the guest speaker, N. Z.Squash champion Susan Devoy. Miss Devoy spoke enthusiastically and her address was both informative and entertaining.
Thanks must go to the members of the sports council and Miss Bold who under the leadership of Mr Grbin worked so hard to organise a very successful function.

Aaron Paleilei - League
Basketball
Amongst 34 schoolboys chosen to play in the Auckland Under 15 Rugby League Representative teams is 15 year old Aaron Paleilei. The young M.H. S. fifth former made the Auckland A team after 90 boys from Auckland clubs trialled before selectors recently.
The 1985 Junior Boys Basketball team was a very hard working and ager group. It was a very enjoyable season, made so by team spirit, and le tremendous support from the coach, Mr. Grbin. Although we lost all but me game, we had some outstanding players like Chris lketule, who was food on the rebounds, John Malaaki, another good rebounder as well as a pod shot. His height was a distinct advantage for our team. John Mager ut up a strong defence against opposition teams and was a good ball carrier. Paul Barry was quick on the fast break. Edwin Pourewa was another good ball carrier. He was also a very quick thinker in a difficult situation. Vesse Kesene improved in his ability throughout the season; he did, however, tend to forget that he was on the basketball court, and wander off into a daydream.
Overall, it was only due to sheer inexperience that we lost as many games as we did.
Better Luck next year boys!
Etama Bymes was the captain of the team and it was his experience and leadership which helped guide the team through the season.
This week he will attend the national Tournament in upper Hutt where selectors will choose North, South, Possible and Probable teams Immediat ely following Thursdays game between Possibles and Probables the Kiwi Schoolboy Team will be announced. Aaron smiles shyly wher asked about his chances; he would be very honoured to be chosen and hi has received encouragement from coaches, managers and ex-Kiwis but ..
Aaron is a very sports-minded young person; he finds that he can als make time for volleyball, cricket, basketball and even rugby in his schedule His fathers sport was boxing his mothers and sister Junes, netball; brothr Sabu is a promising rugby player, so he has received all the support 1: could wish for from his family.
Aaron attended a three week training school in June at Cornwall Par The aim of the course was to involve schoolboys fully in the game of rug league and it required attendance on Wednesdays after school and Sunday mornings; Aaron had already been following his own sir regime n; daily fitness training after school with his brother and an energe game of touch with a group of friends.
The team consisted of 7 players: Ora John; center, outstanding player and main rebounder.
Captain Danny Soloai; a guard who is an outstanding shooter and an excellent team captain. John Soloai; forward, who started first in a senior t eam and has improved over the past games. Bernard Wind; guard who was a new corner to the game has improved and has extended his skills w idely. Allen Simpson, Bergon Korewha and Stuart Colson have made a great impact in the sides team-play spirit.
Aaron would like to continue his involvement in rugby league but priority is ensuring that the Auckland learn which has not lost tournam ent for 13 years will be successful in their forthcoming gar against Waikato, Canterbury and Wellington.

As a child you are a 'mould'. For the first fifteen years or so of life we ae guided and directed into certain forms. The 'sculptor' is the parent. If be workmanship is shoddy, the product turns out sloppy, uncaring, rude - a most of all, unhappy. This need not happen. A 'sculpture' moulded lovin with care and a firm, steady hand will have a positive outlook on li Perhaps these children on the street lacked family support.
Financial pressures create problems. The extended family is now rat Parents under strain cannot give their children the chance of a happy lile. We have to solve these problems for future generations.

6th FORM GEOGRAPHY
BIOLOGY FIELD TRIP TO PIHA 1985
6th Form Geography camp was attended by all 6th form geographers. The 6th form geographers arrived at the 6th form geography camp and did some really heavy 6th form geography - like things, man. We looked at RIVERS and 6th farm geography stuff.
Monday 15th April 1985, we ventured forth from the school environs, waved goodbye to civilisation, and started out on a long journey into the unknown wilds of North West Auckland. This group of intrepid 7th form biologists were totally unaware of what they were in store for during the next 4 days...
It was a great 6th form geography camp enjoyed by all 6th form geographers who went to the 6th form geography camp. We (the 6th form geographers) went to the real beach, man, with rocks and sand and, check this out dudes, SALT WATER! We couldn't handle it. It really spaced us 6th form geographers out. It was really ecological and all that groovy stuff.
To wet our appetites for the oncoming course, we interrupted the route to Piha to explore the native bush within the Arataki Reserve. After this most fulfilling interlude we ventured on, hungry for more encounters of the biological kind.
There were lots of 6th form geography teachers on the 6th form geography camp and Mr Bergh is one "with-it" dude, man. Us 6th form geographers tried to do some nocturnal 6th form geography stuff man but we endedup in the chicks' cabin and we got bad vibes off Mr B, man. The food was real bad man, you know, like it had meat in it, like dead
Anticipating having to stay in a run-down shack out in the wilderness, we were surprised to find that the building was modem and in apparently good condition. It even had a kitchen what more could we wish for?!! Well, for a start, the kitchen 'asset would have been of greater value if; more than two elements on the stove had worked, the power hadn't kept cutting out when too many electrical appliances were used, and if it hadn't been necessary to cook for 20 people. (I will admit however that the chefs did try to reduce the latter problem, as they aspired to try out their most original cuisine on fellow students). There are doubts as to whether the kitchen mice really appreciated the disturbances created within their habitat...
animals man, oh wow! heavy trip man, like live and let live dudes. So just a cool message to wind down man, for all you fifth form geographers and all you 3rd and 4th form social studies; get out on the 6th form geography scene when you hit the 6th form. Graeme McInnes & Stuart Colson.
Work began Immediately after settling in and cleaning up, with a study of the plant Lupinus Arboreus, which was found dwelling in nearby sand dunes. Titilating examples of meaningful biological studies such as this set the recipe for the coming days and nights. Other field studies made over this period incorporated wading in freezing streams to classify heliopsyche, hydropsyche and various other little creatures. We also crashed through dense jungle trying to discover whether it was the square or belt transects that proved to be the more efficient when zoning plants. Each and every one of us also stared high up into the not-so-deep-blue sky, trying to estimate the heights of the canopy trees we had to study, along with the average size of our chosen tree's leaves.
3D/3T/3A2 CAMP We bounced along the road in the bus, munching on tomorrow's barley sugars; everyone was chattering. Nobody seemed to notice the sky darkening. Rain? We got there - but not for long; we soon embarked on our first native safari - a small walk to the confidence course where we ate our lunch. After lunch we did some activities; our group's initiative ended in a river water fight and we didn't quite follow the orienteering course (so we got back early to use all the hot water). That night the rain poured its heart out. Next morning the run was cancelled (pity!!) - partly because of the rain and also the fact that Daniel's bugle was missing didn't help!!. Once everyone had finished breakfast, the teachers announced that the tramp would go on as planned, so halt of us sloshed and slopped up one side of the hill and the others up the other side. We got to the top, muddy. water-logged and definitely not unscathed, just in time to "slide" down the other side - well, it was SORT of like that! After the tramp we queued to get stubbed up - only to get jellied during the prefect's pm-planned jelly "fight" after dinner. It was STILL raining the next morning - no running!! But the rain stoped and the sun came out - on the day we were going home. But we made the most of it and went down to the beach for an hour. The bus ride home was a lot quieter - except for a few snores. Miss Briggs' sneaky camera got a few "valuable" shots! All in all it was a great camp. S. Marshall 3A2
Our study of jellyfish flesh contributed deep meaning to our experiment to discover the varying adaptations of organisms found in the exposed versus sheltered areas of the Rocky Shore (found about Lion Rock). This particular study endangered the fives of the vast majority of our most diligent pupils. The nights were mainly filled with write-ups, studies, and the digestion of dinner - the latter being the most difficult to achieve. Many a night as we were lying in bed strange noises were heard, moans, groans, and the occasional sound of retching. Within the peaceful dreamworld of night many questions were posed to the sleeper. Were these sounds made by some strange, as yet undiscovered, creature or one of the 20 attempting to suffer silently through their indulgence in dinner's delicacies? The days were filled with a lot of hard work which was skilfully mixed with good humour and fun, we learnt a lot. By the end of the four days we were all on the brink of exhaustion, more than just plain tired, suffering more from malnutrition than just plain hunger but, more happy than sad and then we all realised that we had to get up and go to school the next day!
SENIOR STUDY CAMP
Thanks to Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Howard, and Mr. Pygott's guidance over the 4 days and 3 nights, for Mr. Howard's one night in attendance, and for the indescribable companionship of young Malcolm Howard. Good luck next year!
We finally arrived at camp and everyone unloaded themselves and their gear. We sat around eating our packed lunches and then it was straight into our discussions and task sheets.
L. Newton and B.M.
After completing one or two sections, we were all sent off on a wild goose chase, otherwise known as an "orientation course". This meant that everyone was given a map to follow and numbers to find.
6TH FORM GEOGRAPHY CAMP
We all arrived back from our activity, after climbing fences, wading in mud and long grass and getting out of the way of the horse, and headed for the showers.
This year the Sixth Form Geography group underwent the delightful experience of geography "in the field". On the 29th of April 60 able-bodied academics and their teamed tutors applied themselves to a gourmet of geographic delights. After cruising on down to Waharau in our appropriately coloured yellow bus we disembarked to a lecture on "do's and don'ts", wildlife appreciation and other useful(?) information from our veteran of camplife. Mr. Bergh, Our initiation consisted of an arduous trek up the mountain involving all the techniques of outdoor survival (mud slinging, water skiing, grass-groping, bum bruising). Our first experience required introductions to more refined geographic techniques so as to chart the unknown frontiers. This was followed by a menu of contemporary camp food (cremated custard?). We awoke the next morning to the strains of meltwater from the glacial streams of the upper reaches of the Waharau drainage basin. The load of "hard labour" was lessened by Miss Brigg's ecstasy as she related to us the rapturous delights of well-defined soil profiles. We considered at each juncture the intricacies of vegetation distribution, river profile, soil structure and man's impact e.g. dead sheep at each of our 3 survey points. During the course of this field trip, Mr. Harrison sunned himself in the luxurious vegetation of the coastal reaches, conveying instructions from his balmy beach habitat. Sue Hillery, during dinner, mastered the art of despatching jelly at random throughout the confines of the camp. All considered it had been a raving good time (choice) - and we even learned something. 6 Geography 2
We were then presented with what's commonly called "camp food" for dinner. After tea was cleared away, we studied and completed more sheets. Night consisted of the usual activities such as cabin swapping, mid-night munchies and so on. At 7.00 a.m. we were dragged out of bed for Mr Bargh's "marathon" run down to the beach bridge and back. By the time we'd got halfway up the track several had turned back, not being able to hack the pace. The rain set in about 30 mins from the top so our 30 mins turned into 50 mins to the top ridge. We were granted half an hour to eat and restore strength before we commenced our trek down the hillside. We thought climbing up was fun, but coming down was even better. You've never seen so many muddy bodies in all your life! Several of us stopped on the way down at the stream and had a clean-up and it ended with a group of yelling, wet bodies emerging from the stream. We finally managed to wash off our semipermanent 'sun tan'_ At last camp was in sight, and the showers became a disaster area. After tea we were summoned to play mini Olympics, even though not much effort was put into it, we co-operated half-heartedly. By 10.30 everyone hit the sack for a welldeserved sleep. Luckily the next day's run was put off and cleaning look its place before breakfast. We finished cleaning up our shambles and did task sheets before lunch. A last minute stroll to the beach was enjoyed before it was time to reload and come back to school. We arrived back, tired and dirty, but better off for our couple of day's work. Thanks must go to Mrs Howard, Mr Bergh, Mr Latil and Mrs Hutchings for all her help in the kitchen.

BOY ON A CORNER He stood there on the corner hoping that someone would buy a newspaper from him. With twenty-one papers balanced precariously on his head, he looked small and lonesome. His chubby face surrounded by dark cuds became obscure as he blew a bubble. It appeared again moments later as he struggled to regain the gum into his mouth. A man wearing a tailored suit stopped and tapped the boy on the shoulder. He motioned towards the stack of papers, as he delved gently into his pocket for loose change. A few seconds later, the man was off winding down the the busy footpath with the boy staring wideeyed after him. Whoosh! A gust of wind grabbed at the papers, leaving them dog-eared, but not touching the boy except for a few displaced curls. Tiredness and cold began to set in, so the boy concentrated on yelling 'Read all about it!' although hardly anyone heard him above the roar of the traffic. An hour or two later, he counted out his takings, collected up his unsold papers, then pulling the hood of his sweat jacket up he headed down the street. Where he was headed I don't know, but I expect he'll be back in that same corner possibly tomorrow blowing a different bubble and selling different news.
THE SHEARER A sheep lay on the floor, helpless as the brand new machine in the skillful hands of Joe, the shearer robbed the sheep of its thick layers of wool. He had been doing this for years now, one of the best on the station. Quietly and quickly he worked, first round the sheep's legs, over the back and then onto the belly. With the job finished, Joe stood up straight while the sheep rushed off to join its companions in the field. He went inside to wash his hands before going to the dining room to join fellow farm hands, the owner and his wife for lunch. As the warm water cleansed away the dirt, Joe, the shearer reminisced over how he'd gained this job. 'Lucky' he thought, 'Lucky'. He remembered how, at the age of fifteen, he had left school and joined the local Mongrel Mob gang. He looked down at the tattoo on his left arm. At the age of sixteen he left them, went on the dole but nearly all the money went to food, rent and Space Invaders. For four years he had live in a dirty one-roomed apartment with no phone or power (he couldn't afford them). After applying for many jobs he tried some but didn't like them. Hoever, at the age of twenty he arrived at Waikite Sheep Station and held down this job. Since then ... 'Yes', thought the shearer 'I was lucky ... Nigel Cunningham 4A1

THE WAVE The water sparkled as the towering clear wall rose and began to form an arch. The snowy while top began to show, Belongings were forgotten in a mad scramble. The sparkling water soon changed to a murky sand colour as the wave broke. People on the grass bank watched as the water advanced in a white foamy rush then slowed and began to retreat. The water was now multi-coloured with patches of red, green and blue. It was a shivering procession which left the beach that day. Brett Reynolds.
ROTARY EXCHANGE PROGRAMMES Once again the School has been privileged to host a number of exchange students under the various rotary programmes. During the past we have hosted Maud Vaenerburg• an exchange student from Finland. Maud was a delightful person who quickly fitted in to the New Zealand way of life. She contributed much to the School and we were all very sorry to see her leave at the end of Term II. For Term III 1985 and for the first two terms of 1986, Maud has been replaced by an American Rotary Exchange student, Darlene Meyer. Darlene, like Maud, has quickly settled in and is looking forward to her year in the school and in travelling around various parts of New Zealand. M.H.S. was again host to two Australian Rotary students during the past term; the girls, Jaqueline Pearce. 15, from Nyngan in mid New South Wales and Diana Hackleton, 15, from Nara (10-11 hours drive south from Nyngan) were hosted by the Goldstiner and Danks families respectively, Joanne Goldstiner and Sharon Danks, both 5th formers, had spent Term one with the girls in the reciprocal "Twin Match Exchange." Though readily identified in their royal blue uniforms, the Australian students were quickly assimilated into the life of the school. The programme requires students to participate in the life and work of their host families, communities and schools - an experience not without its ups and downs, adjustments and twinges of homesickness. Comments that the girls made about the differences in our lifestyles included the difficulty of school work here at this level and the greater emphasis on exams; the fifth form was equivalent to year 10 in their region and the crucial examination for them would be Higher School Certificate in year 12 (or Form 7). Their careers would in many ways be determined by their performance then. Joanne and Sharon also recalled contrasts especially between city and country; they agree that this could also be experienced within our own country but the extremes would not be as great. Joanne, in particular, admits her disappointment at finding she was to go to Nyngan, a town of 3,000 and with a school of only 400. Now she would not swap her four months on the Pearies 101/2 thousand acre property and recommends that no-one who is accepted for this beneficial and worthwhile programme should have preconceived ideas about their experience. Without exception the girls feel that they learned a great deal about themselves just by completing .the application process. The selectors on both sides of the Tasman, they feel, look for qualities of national pride in their candidates, the ability to speak about their country, their self-awareness and individuality. Diana and Jaqueline are appreciative that they have been able to travel within the country during their stay and they look forward to a return holiday trip in the near future to renew acquaintances and complete their exchange experience; they are adamant, however, that mussels, smoked eel and hangi food will not be on the menu. The goodwill and understanding that these various programmes engender is one that makes the exchanges worthwhile. The benefits are Iwo-way for the students and the school and we hope to continue with these in the future.

AN INTRUDER As the chirrup of the crickets below the window grew louder and more strident and the soft glowing light of the moon threw eerie shadows on the walls, the presence of another person in the room became obvious. She could feel someone watching her, taking in her every move but she could see or hear no one. Not daring to breathe, she lay motionless between the warm covers, listening. Her eyes strained the darkness, roving towards corners where the moonlight did not reach, looking for light where there was none. The sharp staccato click of a struggling beetle enmeshed in a spider's web caught her ears and she twisted violently in the bed. After a while she realised what it was and sank back into the pillow. But she could not relax. She dwelt on the image of the room with its moving shadows on the walls made by the trees outside, rustling in the wind. The feeling of helplessness was like that of the struggling beettle. She felt so vulnerable. On her desk, the ticking clock comforted her, yet as she reached for the light switch to throw light on this 'presence' her nerve failed her. Suddenly, throwing open the door she ran down the stairs and flew out into the stormy night, hardly aware of her own bare feet and thin nightdress. Adrienne Clarke 4A1 47

ODE TO A SQUARE RIGGER As gracious as an albatross in flight
As quiet as the night.
So sleek and slender, slicing through the sea
A sight no longer seen.
Oh the many battles they fought in the past.
There never were ships quite so fast.
They raced the wind how hard it blew These mighty ships, and Their gallant crews.
For the pirates a tiger, so mighty and strong With a sailing ship, they could not go wrong For the English a bridge, to unkown lands To the flourishing forests, and glittering sands.
For the mighty square rigger of the past
With its sails set
Was a road to the future, for all mankind
And this piece of our history, not to be left behind.

Cheerfulness, sensitivity and thoughtlufness were the hallmarks of this fine young mans characlet. His enthusiastic desire to succeed in all that he undertook endeared George to those of us who knew him_ George lived his all too brief life to its fullest. Remembered always.
