The end of each academic yea r always a ffo rds the opportunity to look back and refl ect upon the events we have experien ced, and to ga in from that refl ection. This year, 1982 has had at leas t its norma l share of highlights and if we had to place a label on the year we might think of: " The Year of the Sound o f Music", or "The Yea r of the J apa n ese Exchan ge Schem e'', o r "Th e Year of the Vegetable and the Btack Hen ", or a dozen o t·her more im agin ative titl es. " Caritas '82" endeavours to capture the spirit and the m emory of m ost of the memorable events of 1982 at CL.C It does so in a way that will en able us to relive some o f the significant moments and events and enjoy some of the very crea tive efforts of manv students. School magazines have a hab it o f re-a ppea ring again and again yea rs a fter they are published. They present an excellent record o f achievem ents and class groups. They provide the raw m ate1·ial for m any a nostalgic trip b ack to school and they prove inva luable for giving the clue to th at elusive face that will pop up unexpectedly m any years after schooldays have b een left b ehin d . We hope you will enjoy " Carita s '82" for many yea rs to com e and that som ewhere in the midst of a ll it recalls, you will carry the memory of a year w hen Knowledge and Virtue were united.

Our First Year at C.L.C. The year started with a bang! New books, un iforms, teachers and people. The firs t few days we nt rapid ly and man y of us ended up in th e wrong rooms at the incorrect times for the wrong lessons. Gradually, we began to settle in and ge t used to the rules and tim etables. The homework b egan pil ing up and we realised that form one wasn 't just all fun. · There were many d ifferent activities you co uld become involved in at lunchtimes. Such as ath letics, bell·ringing, stamp-collecting or you could organise a barbeque. Many of us happily took part in these d ifferent activities. One Friday n ight all th e Yea r Sevens, their parents and Year Seven teachers went to a barbeque at C.L.C. It was great and everyone enjoyed it, particularly parents as it was an opportunity for them to m eet the staff. The first term dragged o n and fma lly fin ished. We all returned refreshed an d ready to enj oy a ca mp organised by Mrs. De Felice. We spent three days at Point Lon sda le, staying at Toc H lodge. During the three d ays we visited Queenscl iff, had beach wa lks , an enterta in in g concert, celebrated a mass, went stargazing, saw fi lms, went o ri enteering an d took part in the different activities organ ised by th e teachers. The activities were textiles, art, Italian cooking, nature tra ils, video, newspaper and iniative activities which includ ed cooking and fire·lighting. Although it was cold , we all enj oyed our stay and found that it was an excellent o pportunity to get to know students and teac hers away from the classroo m . Fin ally, after many amusing m ishaps and experiences we have settled into C, L.C. Alice Blake, Roo m 2

Cooking Chips Everyone says tha t I have strange hobb ies and this is o ne of my favourites . Coo kin g Chips' I li ke it because you can have a good time m aking them and th en indu lge in ea ting them. T he first ste p is t.o place blocks of fat and o il into a pan. Now you can play melting the ice block. You have an icebloc k and so does your pretend opponem the firs t iceb lock to m elt is the winner. Of course, if you play it my way , you are a lwa ys reign in g champ ion. The next stage can now be started - cutting the potato. A fun " 'ay to do this is to pretend it is a real person. First you give him a shave then a shampoo and rinse. After you 've don e that you find o ut he wo n 't pay up , so yo u chop him up in to chi ps. Now you may proceed to play sink the submarines (sink th e sub for short ). You plonk the chip into th e m elted fat and watch it sink ro the bottom. Then all th e o th er subs d ive o n top to ensure it. stays on the bottom. By th is tim e yo u sho idd like cook ing ch ips. To ge t back to th e jo b. After a ll the chips are crisp and brown, put them o n a plate, ready for th e last ga m e. Here it com es, caring for your baby chip. First you get the salt and pretend it is po wder - you po wder· your chip. Then you put on the n appie, which is sa uce or· vinega r. Now your chi ps ar e read y for eating.

A Surprise for Us All! It was a cold, dark and windy night. I was a lone with only m y tho ughts to keep m e company. I had j11st hea rd th e n ews. Mum and Dad weren 't going to be ho m e that ni ght. Ne llie's baby had come earli er than expected , and they had gone o ver to help. Mum knew how fri ghtened I got wh en I was alon e. Ho w could she do this to m e? I had to fa ce fa cts' I was going to be alo ne a ll night with on ly my dog Ti ger. " It looks as though we' ll ha ve to kee p each other company Tiger,'' I sa id. I ga ve her a big bowl o f " Chum" and some milk. I wo ulrl have to feed her e xtra th ese coupl e of d ays, as she was ex pec tin g .a litter of pups soon. I started to knit but my blue socks didn't seem to be ge tting any longe r. The wool tan gled around m y fin ge rs. I could hea r Dad's Grandfa th er Clock, tic, toe, tic, toe, tic, toe. It went o n and on never stopping to catch a brea th. The soup o n th e stove was boiling over. I did n 't fee l hungry anym o re. The window in the lo unge room was open and th e wind was blo win g th e rnrtain stra ight out. I felt a chill right th rough my shaking body. I co uld hear a faint scratching noise co ming fro m th e kitr hen window. " What could it be? It's a burglar try ing to get in," I th o ught. " Wha t wi ll he do to m e) I know , he want s our m o ney '" I ra n in to Mum 's room and gm the m o ney out of her drawer, about S170.00 in all. I put it in a ba g and , slo wly bu t surely, went ovt> r to th e window, clutchin g the m o ney. I pulled away th e curtain and a big black furry crea ture whizzed past m e. Wh en I had p lucked up th e coura ge to open my eyes, I saw th at it was on ly Petroc helly my Chinchill a. I put th e m o n ey back in Mum 's drawer, feeling very stupid and childish. I was rathei- tired and d ecid.ed to go to bed. Every tim e I m oved, the bt>d sq uea ked. After abo ut ten min11tes o f thi s noise, I decided to get into Mum's and Dad' s bed. The irs was much bigge r and more romfort able and it didn't squeak. Not m ea nin g to go to slee p, I thought it wou ldn 't hurt if I closed m y eyes. Wht>n I reopen ed m y eyes, th e s11n was strea min g through the winrlo w. Decidin g to give M11m a surpris e, I wash ed th e dishes, vacu11med. dusted, poli sh ed and tidi erl the ho use. fed th e pigs, horses, hens and Petrochell y. I started to p lay with Petrochelly when I heard a sc rat ching no ise. It was terrifying. It got 1011der and lo uder. I decided to go upsta irs and investiga te. Then I hea1·d a mild rustlin g noise. I was petrifi ed, by this tim e . I didn 't even know wha t to think it was. I decided to look into th e lo ft. As I got closer tot he dorn-, I was ce rt ain it wa s coming fro m th e loft. I p11sherl open the door and th ere was Tige r. She ha d co me 11 p here to ha ve her pups. Six playhd lit.tie things. When Mum and Dad got ho me th ey go t a big surprise. They said they had never seen th e ho use so clean since they hi·st m oved in . They to ld m e Nt> llie had quad ruplets, Caren, Karin , Kelvin and Kev in. They got ano th er surprise when I showed th e m the six p11pp ies. So in j11st one day th ere were ten bab ies bo rn.

The Swaggie The o ld swagman ca rri es his pack On his old hunched up back. He walks past an o ld ghost gum tree, And stares at the leaves he can see. It's getting dark now, what should he do? Light a fir<> and cook some stew. Bein g a swagman is kind of tough, and walking through bush that is really rough. His corks o n his hat swing to and fro , And walking along he must go. Alida McManus, Room 2

How the World Began 900,000,000,000,000,000,000 years ago nothin g moved or made noise because there was nothin g ther e to make it 1 One day God decided to m ake somethin g that wo uld be His to look after. He m ade a th in g called " Blackboard " which He design ed and sketched on. At last He cam e up with an idea . He created a plan et called Saturn, but it was no good because it had sprung a gas leak and the gas continued to circle th e planet. He then m ade Mercury , Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. But He wasn 't rea lly pleased with any of them. They either had too many moons or it was too hot, or too cold or toe plain and drab. He wanted something beautiful with radiant li ght and warmth. Once aga in He went back of His trusty o ld drawing board. He fl oated outside thinking. Then something hit Him o n the head. The something wa s brown and murky. God turn ed to see the d ev il. " I call it Mud. It's my n ewest invention, it hard ens and fo1·m s ground " bragged the Devil. " Really", said God, as he wip ed th e Mud o ff hi s head. " Yes, really and I'd like to see your ma gira l po wers beat th at! ", challenged the devil. " Wacko," sho uted God " How much are you sellin g that for ?", he. enquired ex it:edly. " No, I'm not selling this perfect invention to you, so that you can get your revenge," ye lled th e devi l. ' Tm n ot goin g to ge t you, I j11st want to make EA RTH ", e xplained God. " EARTH'" sho ut ed the devil. " What do yo11 m ea n ea rth ) " " I m ea n Ea rth ," re plied God, " What do you think I m ea n, cheese?" " M11d wa s m ea nt to be m y newt>s t invention, no t some crac k pot idea about Ea rth. " So th e devi l trud ged off, feeling very sorry for himself beca 11se he had m ade somethin g wh ich was of 11se to God. It took God six days and six ni ghts to complete Ea rth and God was pleased. On th e seve nth day God res ted , but the Devil didn 't res t. He kept on thinking of n ew thin gs to get God. Ka te Lappin, Room 2

Camp Report

On Tuesd ay 1st June we set o ff in the morning for Point Lomdale foe ouc <hcee day camp A II <he y eac 7 wen< wfrh Mr. Blake, Mrs. De Felice, Mrs. Lombardi , Miss Lewis, Miss Harcourt, Mr. Suter and Miss Ho lland. Everybody was excited. Go m g on camp was a good excuse for everybody to get n ew clot.hes ' After a long tiring bus journey we were re lieved to discover that we had reached our destination. Susa n Butler On Wedn esday night we all got to show o ur true ta lents (n ot n:uch). There was a big varie ty of acts and our compere for the night . was . the talen.ted Miss Lewis . There were singing grannies, Big M beauties, teach er impersonations, a restaurant scene and two sin gers. During the Talent Quest we went up to the li? hthouse to see a boat go past. T h e problem was, the re wasn t any boat. We a ll had a lot of fun. We found o ut things about people's personalities that we didn't know about. Clare O 'Brien and Susan Mitcham Anothe r activity we had was to visit the light·house at Pt. Lonsdale. When we ente red the light·ho use we were amazed at how the steps spiralled right up to the top The're was approximately one hundred and fifty steps. By the time we reached the top our feet were exhausted. As we looked o ut we could see miles of sea and land at th e side. W e had lots of activities to keep us busy in the three days we had at camp. We enjoyed the camp and Pt. Lonsdale and would like to thank the tea.chers for taking us. Cecilia Verrocchi and J oyce Beaine, Room 3

My First Day at C.L.C.

~~ ~

I d;dn 'drno w whcce '° When I "aned " C. LC. I wmcry go and what room was what. I didn 't know many people except the people that went w my old school the year before. The first two penods were spent m the hall during which Sister Patricia and Mr Jamieson were givin g a talk. Then we went to home group. We already knew Miss Harcourt from orientation day, which I was very confused with. So the next four periods my friend and I tried to work out which room to go to: I had to remember a lot of names, even my teachers, which was a bit hard. When l took the bus home I didn 't where to get off, but I saw my fn end that lives a couple of doors 1 . . P gettmg off, so did too. Simone Gnffiths, Room 3

How Lucky I Am

Death

As I look at the country Surrounding our school I see a great beauty I'm lucky to view The sounds I hear are crisp and new The birds that sing have nothing else to do The scent of gum, pine and dew, remind me of the colour blue. How lucky I am to be at a school With such a very lovely view. Melissa Harrison, Room 3

"Grab those t:wo packets of biscuits. " "And, quick, the Swiss Roll! " "Hey, those cakes don't look bad. " "BOLT 1 Someone's coming'" Four laden H.S.C. thieves Red to their rooms after the Crea Raid. Although the camp's m ea ls of ham and pineapple wer more than adequate, the temptation of Tim Tams an Kingstons proved too great. Th e famous four staggered in to anxious greetings of"Wha did ya get?" While some spent the rest of the night gorging their faces, others went on night walks m eeting wombats which the thought were rocks. Apart from "strangers in the night" and midnight feastin g, llf ca mp was relatively calm, aiming to teach us tormulae fo uccess . We left our camp with optimistic views (first and only time, f course) of how to pass H.S.C. Two Rushed H.S.C. Anon m·

St Pat's Eyes Were Smiling! "Hail Glo ri o us St. Patri ck . . . on 11s in Austra lia we bes to w a sweet smile." Such are the words of the hymn which sing the praises of the illustrio us sa int who is th e patron of o ur isle. It is hard to imagine the venerable St. Patrick bestowing a fatherly smile in the direc tion ofC.L.C. on th e sevent ee nth o fM arch 1 Not being an Irishm an by birth, he may have fou nd it difficult to understand the manner in which his name day was celebra ted . The scene at C.L.C. was cert ainly a brea k with tradition. Gone are the days when thousands turned o ut for a parade through the city streets. Archb ishop Mannix , diminuti ve but mi ght y, sa t and reviewed the Catho lic youth o f Melbourne from his position on the steps of Government ho use. Wave a ft er wave of immarnla tl" ly clad sc hool children marched up Bourke stree t, declaring to the world that the Roman Catholic Church had arrived in Alls tra lia via the Grl"l" ll Isle. Pro ud mo th ers watched fro m the pave ments. The starched collars , hats and gloves of their sons and da ught ers proclaimed th at Irish d iscipline. in th e form of Ca tholic Education, was at work in the nex t generation. The spirit of St. Pa trick's Day has bern rev ived at C.L.C. bllt in a somew hat different manner. At first glance it appeared that the revival had com e in the form o f llndersized l.R.A. act ivists (Yl"ar Eights were granting free m embership to all interes ted parties). Few coy Irish Colleens were sight ed. The green garba ge ba g was th e attire for leprechalln and lass ie alike. Instead of the dignified tones of Gregorian chant heard at High Mass, com e th e shrill not es o f' a scream as th e jelly eatin g contest came to a sticky end. Not many stll dents see m to ha vl" givl"n much tho llght to th e religious sign ificance of the da y. With effort similar to that given to the enjoyment of a n Iris h wake. th e stud ent s turned th ei1· attention to having fun . Mllch imagina ti on went int o th e crea tion of th e entrant s for th e Miss Green pageant. Clad in outfits that only fourth generation Irish emigrants rnllld devise, the girls paraded beforl" a panel o f jlldges to the cri es of encouragement and disbelief of the crowd. Six visiting J apanese stllde nts werl" in vit ed to join the fes tivities, their beautiful kimonos and graceful movements (in dance) provided a sharp contras t am ongs t the boisterolls green thron g. The school staff contribut ed to the hilarit y by parad ing in dress no t usually worn to schoo l, ran ging from wedding dress to gardening gear! This was fo llowed by a topical renditio n o f " When Irish Eyes Are Smiling". Aft er th e sc hool principal had ceremo nio llsly contributed to th e Year of the Tree by planting an eve rgreen in the school grounds, the students and Staff brought the day's act ivi ti es to a d ose by re leasing six hundred green balloons. As these disappeared towards the heavens the students of Irish blood strovl" to o llt do the Oth!"rs in a tu g·of.war, th e Irish winning, of course. Then all joined together to make an attempt to break the sit ·circle record. ap pea rin g ra th er lik l" a giant centipede chas ing his tail. Even tho ugh th e form of celebration had changed, it is to be hoped that St. Patrick's eyes were smiling at the attempts by one and all to join in th <" ga iety in the \\·f'a rin g o f th e green.

J enny Christian, Year I 2

When Teacher's Eyes Are Smiling Introduction See the tears in our eyes, 1 , Are you wondering why They should ever be in there at all? You're such dear little girls With such pretty permed curls Do you· wonder what m akes our tears fall ? It 's the fact that six hundred Of you little dears Seem to tum up to school every day . But our eyes can be bright . . . And our hearts can be light . . . Take heed and we'll tell you the way . . . Verse 1 Patricia 's eyes are smiling All the staff are bright and gay It is thirty·eight degrees and All the kids don't come today. T he office girls are cheery, There's no bulletin to do Becaw;e all th e home·group teachers Have no·one to read it to '

Verse 2 Each da,y we are surrotI;nded By brown·g'a:rbecl humanity We long for every week·end To restore our sanity. Be sure we really love you And affection is a bond .. . We just think it's true your absence Really makes our hearts more fond! Verse J We'd like it if you students Would vacation at the beach From Christmas Day till August So that we don 't have to teach. But then when school re-opened We'd still have tricks up our sleeve Half the staff could take a sickie While the rest have long service leave! Verse 4 We think about yoJJ always From the moment when we wake But in deepest sleep we dream of The up·coming mid-term break. It was an awful set up End of term was far away We had studen ts without let·up . . . So . .. we put in St. Patrick's Day! Repeat last fou r lines

The Islander

The wind whistled through the trees as the sun rose across the island. Tim woke up, ' numb and sore. It wasn 't easy sleeping on bracken and bamboo sticks. Slowly he raised himself high enough to notice that there was no boat m oored at the beach, so ano ther day had to be passed, watching and waiting for someone to co m e and take him back to civilization. Back to the civilization he once knew; the hustle and bustle o f city routine. Not this lonely island in the middle o f the Pacific .. . Tim busied himself with the fire. The thought that no·one but himself was on the island fri ghtened him. " I've got to fight my loneliness. I've got to try to make friends ," Tim said aloud. But what was he to m ake fri ends with; the sea, or m aybe even the rocks J Coming o ut of his daze, Tim was aware of the silence. The trees and waves seemed to stand stock·still. " Maybe I'm going mad," he thought. " I'd rather go mad in the city than on this da mn island. At least in the city someone might hear you. But here there is no-one. " No·one but mother nature and I. " These thoughts that ran through Tim 's head were soon interrupted by a crack of thunder. Then down came the rain. Tim 's fire soon was put out so he took refuge under his hand·made hut. After sitting for a while Time was soon asleep. Judging by the sundial he had made it was about 6.00 in the afternoo n. The sun was just sinking and it made a spectacular sight across the water. Once again , after a sound sleep, Tim rose and looked down across the sand. He pinched himself making sure he could see right. For there, moored on the beach was a boat. In it, a man and a woman were sleeping. " I won't wake them, they're probably tired. Oh , why shouldn 't P After two months on this island, I want to talk to someone human, instead o f talking just to myself. " Probably woken by Tim's loud excited voice, the man stepped out of the boat. Seeing Tim at the top of the sm all sand·dune, he tapped his wife's shoulder and said, " Hey love, we found someone. We're not: alone!" Hearing this, she burst into tea rs. About one ho ur la ter Tim and his newly fo und friends were off in the small boat hrad ing north. Three once lonely people had found fri endship in each other, and if . .~ "-"-they had it their way, it would no t be shortli ved. RochadJam "'"" · Yoac 9, Room 9 . . ·~

t~ Feathertop -

Bona Corde Spur Bushwalk

Earlier in the year a small group of Year 11 and 12 students, accompanied by Mrs McCutchan and Miss Holland , set out to conquer Mt. Feathertop and approaches.Mt. Feathertop is Victoria 's second highest m ountain. A quaint little town, Harrietville, lies at the foot o f the mountain and the views from the summit are spectacular. As well as being enjoyable, the walk was also an educational experience for all, particularly in the areas of bush ·cooking and camp·site pre paration. Probably , the most rewarding part of the walk was towards the end when girls and teachers alike, plunged into a small mountain stream to rid themselves of the ingrained dirt gathered along the way. All in all, the weekend was most successful and we have many photographs and m emories to look back on. "Long live the Bushwalkers " !! Kathleen O'Rourke Poweltown was one of Victoria 's major lumber sources. We walked along the remains of the tramlines which were once used to transport the huge mountain ash logs out from the forest. We explored a dig out, which was a small tunnel in the side of the mountain that open ed out into a room lined with spider·webs. There was much old m achinery to b e seen alongside the track. We stopped for lunch, where some of us were welcomed by leeches. We arrived back at the bus exhausted , and as we were leaving, the dark clouds - which had b een with us all day - opened in full force. Kathy Mackey

Alone She looked around. Why did everything seem so weird and eerie? Why was everything so silent? Amy looked around at the landscape - or what was left ofi t. Tears welled in her eyes as she remembered the sudden , terrifying earthquake that had left her so alone. Then she began to sob, releasing all the caged up emotions that she had tried to hide. There was a sharp intake of breath, as a high -pitched wail reached her ears. She shivered, the silence now seeming somehow more hospitabl e, than the deathly sound, that had broken it. Slowly she rose, rubbing her red puffy eyes with her clenched fists. Cautiously, she took a few steps, looking around, scanning th e area for the owner of the wail. Gaining confidence she took some more ste ps and then stopped dead. There it was again! But this time it was a soft, painful whine, crying for help and comfort. Becoming curious Amy forgot her fears and began to search for the mysterious b eing. She was now at the edge of the clearing, where she had spent an unrestful night. She was aware of the possibility of the ea rthquake recurring and wond ered if she should leave the comfort of the clea ring. Hearin g again that pitifi.il wail, she rushed into the forest following th e path into a world of dark gloomy shadows and knotted , gnarled trees. As she sea rched , she began to whistle a tune her grandmother had taught her long ago. Then in a rush the Aood of loneliness and depression caught her aga in. She began once again to cry. As she cried the creature wailed again. She sped off the path and into the dense brush. Crashing through th e scr atching, prickling growth she saw a fallen tree ahead, blocking her way. She exclaimed with disbelief and wond er as he saw the owner of th e wail. It was a dog; a brown puppy, not big, but not small either; a very happy animal, althou gh one of its hind legs was caught under a bran ch of the fallen tree. Finding a long thick stick she levered up the branch throwing all her weight on the pole. The dog escaped, rel easing its joy by barking happily, racing around on three legs. A smile cr ept on to Amy' s fa ce until soon she was jumping with joy. And th en she hear a wail - but this tim e it was of a siren. De bra Dean, Room 9

I''

As the time of fiv e to one nears eager eyes watch the slowly ticking clock and the sound of rumbling stomachs echo through the classroom. The monotonous sound of a bell starts the screaming, yellin g and pushing of twelve to eighteen year olds. The consistent throwing open of the lockers can be heard chiming all the way down the school corridors. Then out they come' Yes, it's those dangerous, dastardly well ·known lunches' As I pass one of the classrooms, I look into its contents. On top of desks, floors , cupboards, chairs and heaters are donuts , hundreds and thousands sandwiches, cokes, Big Ms and the biggest range of chocolate bars you've ever seen. A whole A·Z sweet delicacies. But there is still some hope for fruit and raw vegies. They still linger around th e school wond ering if they 'll ever have such a big boom as the sugars are having. Another aspect of lunches are the ·monthly BBQs. Delicious _h amburgers and cooling drinks are just a few that arrive on the menu. Should we have more health foods which are taking shape like Apricot Bars and Nougat Bars? Can our monthly BBQ do much harm compared to other schools in Victoria which have one or more tuck shops every day~ But is it really all the fault of the children and teenagers that this type of unhealthy food is going around ~ Or is it the daily television -watching that brainwashes us to eat more "crispies" to make our day happier. Information fi-om Miss Lewis our sports teacher, showed that all the flavouring , colouring and preservatives and sugars can cause asthma, cancer and make young children hyperactive. Many fa cts and tests have shown that after eating sugar children get very nervous and quick tempered. Our lunches can improve by adding fruit and nuts, using wholem eal bread instead of white. Healthier fillings are much more satisfying. T his way we will be happier, healthier and liable to live longer. Dorene Kocsis

Island of Secrets I1

Thirty·love my opponent said as he retrieved the ball from undern eath a sleeping lady's de.::C: : hair. It was th e fifth day th at we had been cruising on th e Britannia and a young, energeti c officer and myself were playing deck·tennis. Forty luv - I won added the enthusiastic officer quite ready to have another game. But I had had enough. I flopped down in my deck·chair to try to improve my tan. We were cruising gently before a warm, tropical breeze over the Pacific Ocean. We were among th e coral islands of the Pacific and I shall never forget th e pure white dazzlin g shores and th e verdant palm trees which looked bright and beautiful in the sunshine. Often did I long to be landed on one imagining that I should certainly find perfect happin ess th ere. My wish was granted sooner that I exp ected' Tha t night soon after midnight an awful storm burst upon the ship. The first squall of wind swept everything off the dec ks except one small boat. For five days the tempest raged in all its fury. Nobody dared to go up on deck which was so peaceful not so long ago, and we all gave ourselves up for lost. The captain said he had no idea where we were as we had been blown far off our course; and we feared greatly that we might get among the dangerous coral reefs which are so numerous in the Pacific. At daybreak on the sixth morning of the gale we saw land ahead. It was an island encircled by a reef of coral on which the waves broke in fury. There was calm water within this reef but we could only see one narrow opening into it. For this opening we steered but ere we reached it a tremendous wave broke on our stem, tore the rudder completely off and left us at the mercy of the wind and waves. "It's all over with us now," said the captain.''(iet as many women and children on the boat as you can; we will be on the rocks in less than half an hour" . Then a huge wave washed me off the d eck. I felt someone pushing me under, then I knocked my head against something hard and remembered no more .. . There is a strange and peculiar sensation experienced in recovering from a state of insensibility, which is also indescribable: a sort of dreamy confusion; a half sleeping half waking condition, accompanied by a feeling of weariness which, however, is by no means disagreeable. As I slowly recovered a balmy breeze fann ed my cheek and I thought of home and the garden at th e back of my house with its luxuriant flowers and the sweet scented honeysuckle that my mother trained so carefully upon the trellised porch. But the roarin g of the surf put these delightful thoughts to flight. Gradually the roar of the surf became louder and more distinct and slowly I opened my eyes to thos e of the uglies t creature I have ever seen' Tara Mullins, Year 7, Room 3

My Worst Dream One night after watching a horror movie I went to bed feeling all faint and scared. After jumping with fright at the slightest creak, I finally fell asleep only to enter a world where everything was ten times bigger than me. I started to explore this strange world and while I was staring in awe and walking I tripped over an old tree root. I picked mys elf up and started dusting all the dust off my clothes when I noticed that the trees behind m e were chuckling as if they had purposely tripped m e. I didn 't know what to do so I started running, running away from these horrible trees. As I ran everything flash ed past me as if I was watching a motion picture which was put on full forward . Suddenly I ran into what looked and felt like a spider web. I tried desperately to untangle myself but I was only making matters worse so I just sat down to think about what had happened. Then I noticed a gigantic, black, hairy spider corning towards me. He was mumbling something which sounded like, " Ahh, dinner at last' " I was wondering who he was saying it to when I realized he was talking to me. In one hand he had a knife in the other a fork and in the other six he had cups and saucers and plates. He was coming closer and closer and closer and he was just about to start ca rving m e up when I was woken up by Mum who said the next morning I had been screaming som ething like, " Please don't Mr Spider I'm not a bad gi rl".

Why Me! "Oh, Jane, I've always loved you," whispered Michael. My heart was thumping, I had been waiting for this moment for so long. "Come on Michael," yelled Craig. " Are you coming or not?" I didn 't want him to go, but I knew he had to. " See you tomorrow, " he said as he walked off. All I could think of until the next day was him. I was so wrapped up in him. •Karen came over later on, I couldn't wait to tell her what happened. The phone rang. It was Michael. He wanted to know if I wanted to go to the footba ll with he and Craig. I told him that Karen was coming over, and he just said to bring her along as well. The door rang. Karen was standing there smiling and laughing. " What ya got planned for ... " I cut her off before she had finished, I couldn 't hold it any longer, I had to tell her. " ... he rang me up before, he wanted to know if! wanted to go to the footba ll with him and Craig," I said after telling her what had happened the day before. She asked me what Craig looked like, I said he was a " spunk", " but not as good as Michael." We met them at the football, at one. There was a funny fee ling inside of me, a feeling of nervousness and love. The day was great. Craig and Michael ended up liking Karen. I was wondering how much. Michael seemed to talk to her more than me. Karen stopped my dreaming by saying " wasn 't it a great day". I agreed in a dreamy sort of way. The next day came. Craig came up to me and said, "Michael's wrapped in Karen ". I felt like crying then and there but I couldn 't, I couldn 't let them see me hurt . ..

We were successfi.il once more at th e In ter· School At hl e tics held at Olympic Park. The talent and competition \\·as excellent. C. LC. ach ieved an overa ll place of 2nd.

Success Almost a Hat-Trick In 1980, the C.L.C. und er -16 ne tball tea m won the Victorian Schoolgirls ' Championship shield a nd started a tradition at C. L.C. In 198 I, th ey won the Open shield and co ntinu ed the tradition. This year th e Ope n team , basically m ade up of th e same playe rs, defended th eir titl e . Aft e r winning ten games straight, over two rounds and a sem i-final, they met St. Joseph 's Altona in a Grand Final. They were Runn e rs Up after a hi gh standard m atc h. Approximately four hundred reams entered th e Champions hip. On Saturday, 14th August, the present C.L.C. under- 16 netba ll tea m will co mp ete in th e fin a ls nigh t a t Royal Park and try to regain th e und f'r· 16 shi eld.

It ' ee m s that C.L.C. is fo rtun ate e nough to have anothe r promis ing at hl e te for future vea rs. Angela Bottos_, Year 7 has astonished us all with he r brilliant performa n ces dunng the past yea r. She has compe ted with two tea ms , each interstate: T he Little f\thl etics inte rstat e championships, Victorian team in Hooort and the Pacific School games in Brisbane. During th e Dia mond Vall ey Championships she won go ld m edals for each of th e fo llow in g: hi gh Jump, 800m, l 500m, shotput, long jump and the 400m. She is the Little Athl e ti cs Victorian Hig h Jump Champion and was placed 3rd in lo ng jump at the same m eet. She showed her determ in ation despite all setbacks wh e n she ran in the Vi cto rian 1·e lay champions hips with a broken a rm and ca me 3rd. With thf' same broken arm she was 2nd in long jump and !st in shotput in Bendigo and 3rd with sho tput in Melton . At Coburg she was placed I st in shotput and 2nd in hi gh jump, a t Preston we saw he r triumph in shot.put, hig h JUmp a nd long jump. At Chelsea she won shotput a nd was 2nd in discus and at Caulfield sh e was !st in ??~ 2nd in long jump and 3rd in the 1500 metre walk. During the past year she has coll ected trophies for shotput, high jump, 200m 800m, Pentathlon and cross country. It's hard to believe that all this was achieved by o n e pe rson and she, not even bein g past 7th grade. To Ange la we wish the best ofluck in the future years at C. L.C.

Heart Beat

Lunchtime Gym Club For th e last few years, o n ce or twice a week, lunchtime gym has bee n held in th e hall. These sessions give girls from Years 7 and 8 a chance to get fit and have fim doing so. No-one has to be anything special to join, for we don 't e xpect everyone to be replicas of Nadia Commineci. The aim of the sessions is to give girls a chance to see JUSt what they can get their bodies to do. T he gy m itself is well equ ipped with beam, vault, bars and a consid e1·able amount of mats. Also a vailabl e for use is a trampette, . bea p boards, a nd two crash m ats. None of the things already mentioned would be of any use to us 1f we didn 'r ha ve a teache r , Miss Lew is ha s give n up he r lunchtim es to take these classes. A lot of " thanks " and gratitud e should go to Miss Le wi s, for without her we would have no club. T hanks also should go to Miss Harcourt who has stepped in a nd supervised when Miss Le wis has been unavailable. Recently anothe r gToup has b een added to the Gym Club. This is a group of gi rls (fiv e from Year ten a nd o ne from Year nine) who have been e nte red into an inter-sc hool girls competition. T hese girls a1·e to attem pt Level fiv e- modifi ed which m ea ns th ey can lea vf' out anything loo hard. Beca use of th e limited tim e they have Miss Lewis has allow ed thes e girls to practise .at th e sam e time as Years 7 and 8s. Fridays and Tuesdays ajier school ha ve als o been put as id e. Tha nk s agai n ro Miss Lewis a nd " good luck" and fin gers crossed for th e gir ls competin g. All are welcome to j o in. G irls from Years 9 onwards can attend a class o n Monday a fi:er sc hool. See Miss Lew is for de tails. Marian Purce ll

Excitement fill ed air at Greensborough at 8.45 a.m. as C.L. C. swimming sports we re a bout to co mmence. The hum orous, colorfi.il costum es of eac h team seen to add a mysti cal , happy fe elin g to the atmosphere. Stude nts who were cl ass mates were now bitter rivals, a ll after th e o ne thing: to bring home the cup of victory. I waited in the marshalling area, only two races before m ine. My knees shaked like a hunted rabbit. I waited th e ca ll. I glanced quickly to see my opposition a nd the n my feelings of n erves tum to feelin gs o f hysteria. Bes ide m e stood seven fi nely turn ed bodies. Was I just as fin ely tuned? T he test would be coming soon. The e xploding bangs of th e races before m e seemed to make m e fee l as if I was on a mine fi e ld durin g a war. Standing on my mark, loo kin g down th e pool, it seemed a much longer distance since tra inin g. T he e nd seem ed like a m irage in th e desert. My hea rt, pounding, pounding, felt like it missed a beat. Then all of a sudde n, " Bang" and the race started. Fast as I could I threw my body in to the water.

Once again interhouse sport has been a great success. Many thanks must go to the Physical Education teachers: Miss Lewis, Miss Harcourt and Mrs. Cross. They not only Qrganise the swimming and athletic carnivals but also help organize and supervise training for these events. Aikenhead- has completed yet another successful year, winning both the athletics and swimming cups. Special mention to two of our competitors: Jackie Ryan - Senior Athletics champion and Lisa Vescovi - Intermediate Athletics champion. Thanks also to other Aikenhead captains - Kathy Mackay (Vice Captain), Lisa Vescovi (Intermediate Capta in) and Amanda HaITis (Intermediate Vice Captain) who were responsible for organizatio n o f interhouse activities throughout th e year. J enny Evans, Aikenhead Captain Loyola- has proved this year 1hat it has a lot of po1 ential and will be a very strong force in yea rs to com e. Congra tulations .to our champions: Kerry Shanahan - Junior Swimming; J oanne Shanahan - Intermediate Swimming; Angela Bottos - Junior Athletics. A big thank you to Mary·anne Vermeulen (House Captain) and to Linda Perry and Jenny McCrorie for th e grea 1 efforts they have put into the team. Keep up the good work Loyola' Louise Pullia Marita - Although 1982 was not a very successful year for Marita, the enthusiasm and sportsmanship shown by team members was very encouraging. The junior girls who are always very keen , won the Year 7 netba ll. The in termed iate girls, also enthusias tic, won the Yea r 9 & I 0 basketball. Even 1.he seni ors, between fits of laughter, managed to finish second in the Year I I & 12 netball. Marita was unlucky no t to win in th e major sportin g events. The house was narrowly defea ted (by 2.5 points) and came fo urth in th e athl etics carni val. On behalf of Captain Sue Bosch (c urrentl y overseas as an exchange s1udent) I would like 1.0 thank all Marita girls for a spirited sen io r swimming performance, especia lly Pai da Crawford champion - and Cathy Wilso n for their great efforts in co mpetin g and as junior capta ins. Linda Smith , Viet Captain Vincentia - gained an overa ll second in 1he swimming 2.nd third in th e athletics which was a co mmendabl e effo rt. Congratubtions to those who made 1he in tersc hool teams and helped the school achi eve such good results. Special thanks to J enny Van Der Haar (Inter· mediate Captain) and Leesa Veer (Intermediate Vice Captain) for their organisation of th e in1erm ediate teams. In th e future \Ve would like to see the same participa tion we saw from all members o f Vincentia this year. J acinta Furlong, Captain An ita Kocsis, Vice Captain

[ Growing Things } Growing Things was introduced as an elective subject in Year ten for the firsr time, this year. During the first semester sixteen girls participated in th subjecr with approximately the same number in the secon semester. Everyone who took part in the theoretical an practical aspects of the subject participated in a mos enthusiastic way and gained valuable knowledge which will be of benefit as a hobby or possible as a basis for entering courses in either horticultur<' or agriculture. Each girl was given a plot where soil was cultivated and compost and various other additives were introduced. Different crops were grown including cabbage and cauliHower, lettuce and radishes and there was a good yield. We also planned a food producing garden. We lea rnt of the raising and keeping of poultry from the one dozen black Austrolorpe fowls purchased. Each girl was rostered for feeding and egg collection duties. A days excursion to a self.sufficient farm in the Yandoit Hills , nea r Bendigo, gave us the opportunity of seeing people living almost entirely off the land . On the return trip we gained another passenger; a yo ung kangaroo who had become entangled in a wire fen ce on th e property and injured. He seemed to enjoy the ride o n the bus and we were all sorry when we returned and it was put into the hands of the Fisheries and Wildlife officer. All girls who selected this subject found it m ost interPsting and enjoya ble. We are grateful to Mr Jamieson for introducing it to th e college.

Haars, Bo lgers and Jamiesons arrived to gr.ee t their J apanese students. ~· ~ After all the other passengers came out the girls in their blue uniforms arrived. After quick introductions we all left for C.L.C. where they toured the school and were greeted in Japanese. The next ~~ ~ ·~ five weeks were a time of fun, learning, and overcoming lan guage ~~ ., ,·ba rriers. ' <'·._ The J apanese students learnt th e strange Australian way of life, 'r,· were introduced to koalas, kangaroos and meat pies, and in return we all learnt about the J apanese way of life. The students visited the law courts, saw Gallipoli and ... Perhaps the time we best got to know o ur foster sisters were the late night chats before bed. They couldn't sleep until seven, early for us, because at school they were woken at 5. 00 a.m. just before they left the seven studen ts and their foster sisters . .;· ' visited Sovereign Hill Ballarat where the Japanese saw the o ld '• . .. . Australian life. The day before they left a farewell assembly was held . ·.·,--· by the entire school and the students gave short, touching, &. memorable speeches. Tears and hugs knew no bounds as they .. farewelled their fellow students. They had spent most of their five weeks in English, maths and pottery classes and had made many friends. The 26th of March fin ally arrived and at 7.30 a.m. we said goodbye. The tearful girls left their equally tearful sisters and ·' boarded the bus. Sanae, Sumiyo, Yuko, Meiko, Yuko, Mieko and Saijuri had left and would arrive in Sydney later in the day. They had . :""''.,_ com e to Australia with 60 other girls and left with better English, hundreds of souvenirs and pierced ears. Perhaps the funni es t things were the language barriers and their amazement at our pierced ears and free lives. In Japan pierced ears are a day in hospital and cost " ' AS90. We laughed a lot together and we all plan to go to Jap an or come to Australia again to visit_our sisters of five weeks.

C.L.C. Reunion . The 80th Year Reunion ofC.L.C. Old Collegians was held in March this year here at the College. A Mass at which the College Song was sung was followed by ' a luncheon. Bearly 500 people attended Mass. 350 p eople attended the luncheon. . Memories were relived by Old Collegians rem embering the times spent at the College. Memories of ~ikenhead House, Healsville during the war, sport m the Fitzroy Gardens just to mention a few people. Sister Claver was among the most senior Old Collegians who attended - and probably the most remembered as J_ almost her whole life has been spent with C.L.C. It wa.s wonderful to see the close ti.es that the College has forged m the 80 years 1t has been gomg. Let's hope the friendship and fellowship carries on to future generations of Old Collegians.

Maria was selected in July 1981 to re present th e H eidelberg North Rotary Club, and left for twelve mon ths in Mexico in January 1982. Maria spent the first three months o f her stay with the family of Miriam Sanchez (an exchan ge student here last year) and since then she has lived at the hom e of Brenda Latigo, who is currently o n exchange in Australia. Maria writt>s with love and affection for Brenda's family and without a doubt is thought of and trea ted as a much loved daughtt>r. Over th e last few weeks she has tra velled extensively throughout Mexico, with a chauffe ur-driven car at her disposal, and has explored many towns and cities. In Mexico City she climbed the world 's biggest pyramid, the Pyramid of th e Sun, and was able to spend time at the greatest archaeological mus eum in th e Americas. I think the most exciting thrill for Mari a so far has bee n attending her first bull fight. She took a cam era along and apparently got so excited she took twenty·seven shots in a matter of minutes' An expensive day out! Before she left , Maria was a good coo k and has now collected a lot more recipes and promises us some tradition al Me xica n m ea ls. As well as absorbing much in the way of Mexican custo ms and culture, Maria's Spanish is quit e Hu ent and she plans to ta ke it as a subject when she returns in January. Ke rry O 'Flah erty

1982 Debutante Ball

~·

·~ ~

It was amazing to see th e transformation from giggly pimply schoolgirls to beautiful young ladies, the night of the Debutante Ball. At six thirty that evening, these elegant young ladies escorted by their gentlemen arrived at St. Kilda Town Hall for an eveniP.g that they would probably remember for the rest of their lives. The debutantes , fat, skinny, short or tall , glowed with a radiance and beauty, knowing that they looked their best. All the frantic preparations that had gon e on during th e day, reaped their rewards that evening. Beauticians, hairdress.ers, and dressmakers had all worked hard to make th ese crea tions. When the sixty of us stood in our lines ready for the dance. I knew that our efforts had been worthwhile. Their eyes shone and sparkled in delight as one by one they came onto the stage to be received by the audience. Each caused a sensation as she walked self.consciously and nervously down the wobbly stairs (I'm sure that they were held together by sticky tape), while the audience clapped and cheered. They glided smoothly and gracefully in a single file down the hall, then dropped into a low curtsey as their names were announced. Wh en each had been presented , the sixty debutantes drifted into the hall , for the first dance of the evening which had been rehearsed hundreds and hundreds of tim es. They twirled and swirled their gowns flowing and rippling, not without the occasional stumble or badly executed tum. These small faults passed unnoticed , the overall affect was stunning. And so the ball contint1ed. With the tension of the presentation over, the d ebutantes were able to relax and thoroughly enjoy the evenin g that they would remember for the res t of their lives. A romantic white dream ... Jane Ford

A Mask of Silence "The Man in a Brown Suit" I sat o n the bench, glancing through a Myer pamphlet lying beside me. Two teenagers jo ined me. The boy began to kiss his girl with semi-confid ent sixteen year o ld kisses. The girl obligingly res ponded with nervous fourteen year old pecks. The boy gained confidence. I was fid gety. Unsure of where to look, l nonchalantly tilted my head up and sa w that man. He hadn 't shaved; spikey, grey whiskers jutted out random ly. His brown suit was braided with ghas tly me tallic butto ns; quite hideous. He was probably Greek. He smirked at m e. Unsure of his insinuations, I shuffled for the Myer pamphlet now under my fee t and bega n rereading it, upsid e down. But it didn't matter. It kept m e superficially occupied. As I casua lly turned the page, looking away, I felt his visio n penetrate. It m ade me uncomfortable. The " lovers" had gone and I felt alone. He stood up slowly and began to meander towards me, fixin g his worn leather strap. I uncrossed my legs and hid beneath my bushy hair, often used as a protective screen around my face, in an effort to emphasize my youth and innocence. He kept strolling; jo lting every now and aga in, but in a general path towards m e. I felt flush ed , hot and cold, on and off. I couldn't help it. I had to look up. He was so close. His body reeked o f strong a fter shave, obviously disguising the smell of stale perspiration. It made me cough. I wanted to walk away, but l knew I couldn 't esca pe. He lit a cigarette. It was "not permitted", but he grimaced in the pleasure o f its illegality. He had come up to me for a reason. He didn 't have to speak. His o utstretched nicotine stained fin gers were enough to exp lain. Feeling helpless, I stumbled for my purse, discreetly unclipped it and ga ve him the money he had wanted. I looked away partly sa tisfi ed as he strolled be hind my seat. I was glad I had given him th e mon ey and foo led him. I only paid half fare. J eanne Banks

" Here comes the clown " they yelled - o Dressed up creature in colours to dazzle you. Here comes the clown, all bright and blue To jump aro und and p erform for you. He has a nose of scarlet red And a big green ha t upon his head. H e's held this job all his life He has n o family, n ot even a wife He's lived alo ne for twenty·six yea rs Amongst his hopes, his dreams, his fears. His fac;:ad e is fri endly as you can see He's really the same as you and me. He has the scars and he's felt the pain He's been in trouble and got the blame His world 's behind a dark drawn shade That's as cold and fierce as a sharpen ed blade, It cuts his heart, his soul, his skin And will n ever let the outside in. His costume is a frontal view That doesn't show what's really true. Behind his mask of coloured paint There's a heart of gold that isn 't faint. Therese Odgers, Year I 0, Room 12

~-----------==-====1]]~-Why CLC left East Melbou rne? At East Melbourn e, C.L.C. was a happy school. Everyone enjoyed all the classes except Genmde Head who hated maths, particula ry fra ctions. Wh en ever she did them she always seemed to lose her head. One cold , misty m o rnin g Genrude Head didn't arrive for school and a few days later a headless body was found . It seem ed to be a young girl around her age. But Was It? At the start. of the second term maths classes commen ced as usual. But the class became silent as the steps creaked outside th e classroom . Gertrude 's headl ess body entered th e room. A few seconds later her head ca m e Hoa tin g in with blood dripping down onto the Hoar and at the same time it was screamin g, "I hate fra ctions." This ke pt happenin g every maths lesson and everybod y was scared . The teachers were sta rting to leave one by one, each time inventing a new reason for their resignatio n. Gertrude ke pt coming back. It seemed hopeless to keep cnntinuin g at East Melbourn e. 0 Finally C.L.C. de parted from East Melbourn e and decided to move to Eltham. They thought from then on the school wouldn't be bothered by Gertrude Head , ever again. It remained a quite happy school. The occasiona l schoolgirl prank did happen but it was still the pleasant school of C.L.C. It seem ed that most people had forgotten , and never would r emembe r, the tragic accident that happened to Gertrude Head. Yea rs had passed and all was ri ght when I had just started at C.L.C. The day was the lst of March 1982 and I had been do in g some research int o Gertrude Head. l had discovere d what happened to her and what she had don e to the school of C.L.C. years ago. Well, I had just finish ed reading th e boo k a bout Gertrude , when I notice that Gertrude 's maths teach er was my maths teacher's Great, Great, Grandma . I was o n th e way to my maths class with my teac her, Sister Augustus to finish our fra ction paper. I was a bit nervo us beca use years and years ago, that same day Gertrude didn't arrive at school. As I e ntered , l heard the ste ps crea k, l was seized by a child 's hand. My h eart was thumping like a scared r abbit' l t11rn ed slowly and saw Gertrude 's body , as it entered the classroom . Sister Au gustus fainted. Then the bloody head floated into the room, screamin g " I hate fra ctionsll " Then I suddenly realized fractions, really, go to your head' Emma Quilhey, Room 2

Love Scene Turne d Butter scotch ? " Oh Cathy," he murmure d. He leant toward me his scent suddenly envelopin g m e his chee k brushing mine. I saw his curved lips waiting. While he was waiting I thought o f his hair the colour of golden sand and his eyes like precious stones, and he was still waiting and waiting. He opened one of his closed eyes and stared at me, within that time I must have shrunk three feet at least and changed to the colour of b ee troot and back again fifty tim es. He closed his eye aga in. Suddenly l couldn 't r esist it, I had to do some thing to get him back for embarras sing m e so much. I could not wait any longer, so I shoved my buttersco tch icecream into his fa ce, the place where my lips sho uld have b een , o n his. He roared, "Why did you do that?" My feeb le excuse was, 'Tm sorry I thou ght your lips looked dry. " Now as I remembe r his head like an acne covered gherkin and his hair like gr easy straw , I wonder what I ever saw in him.

(Fathers' Committee Report 1982 \ The College Fath ers ' Committee ha s had a very busy year with vario us activ ities within the College, including th e gTounds maint enan ce and assisting with socia l events The yea1· comm enced with th e Annua l Fathers' Comm ittee Communio n Brea kfast. We were privileged once again to have Fr. Pat Nigri celebrate Mass for us. Our guest speaker was Brother Alex McDonald who spoke on th e work he is doing with th e hom eless yo ung people in Melbourne's inner suburbs in vo lved in drugs and prostitution - it was a most enlightening and thm1ght provoking talk. In March the fathers and dau ght ers o f years 7 and 12 held the fu·st Wo rkin g Bee, a grea t dea l of wo rk was achi eved by th e I I 0 fath ers and daughters who att end ed. The sc hool was clea ned throughout , ex tensive gardening, tree planting and a general clean· up of the gToLmds was acco mplished. Mr. Jamieson 's vege table ga rd en and fow l ho use received spffial attentio n . Apri l 4th saw th e Annua l School Ath letic Carniva l held on th e College oval, the Fathers' Committee in conjunctio';1 with College Teachers and Staff, helped organize the setting up o f all th e equipment and acted as officials on the day. The co mpetition betw een the four school teams was very keen ly contes ted and enjoyed by spectators and competitors alike. The De butante Ball at the St. Kilda Town Hall on Friday, 7th May, organised by th e " Old Collegians" saw Fathers ' Committee members actin g as Ushers. Next year th e Fa t hers ' Committee has been committed to help o rganise and assis t in runnin g this important event. Yea rs 8 and I I fath ers and dau ghters had their Workin g Bee in July, o nce again a grea t dea l of wo1·k was carried o ut in th e ground s. The vegetab le ga rden, with a large r ange of we ll ·grown vegetab les crea ting a lot of int.eres t. 1 Inside th e College, Mrs. Casey 's room wa s wallpapered. Li ghts were installed around the B.B.Q area to mak e it more useful for evening barbecues in the winter months. The Fathers' Committee's main social event was the Annua l Baske t Supper Dance (held o n th e 8th O ctober) with the drawin g o f th eir only fund ra ising activity , the " big Raffl e". The funds raised from this ni ght are used by th e fathers to fin ance their works and purchase equipment for the College. During the year the fath ers assisted at Class Socia ls as Doormen , Parking Attendants and patrolled the grounds. The fathers also acted as Us hers, Parking Attendants, etc. at th e Co llege musical production " The Sound of Music" . T he climax of th e fathers' activities is the Family Thanksgiving Mass involving th e whole College, th e Choir, Orches tTa , with the Chaplains and local Priest concelebrating Mass with a Gu es t Cele brant. It is a thanksgivin g Mass for all the Blessin gs r eceived on the College for th e year and farewe ll to those stu den ts who are leavin g.

The purpose of the Mothers ' Auxiliary is to financially assist the College in conjunctio n with the Fathers ' Committee by way of the purchasing of teachin g aids and equipmen t, and a lso to provide an opportun ity for rhe mo thers o f students to get to kno w o n e anoth er. The Mothers' Auxiliary also runs th e monthly B.B.Q for the girls. In Dece mber 19 8 1 a cheque for $4 ,460 was presented to Sister Patricia , and display boards for use in the foy er and hall were bought with this amount. So far thi s year we have purchased bicycle helmets for the bicycle educa tion programme, and the mathem atics de partm ent were also able to purchase cla ss materials. Before th e Fam ily Mass in December we are hoping to h ave ex tra spotlight s insta lled in the hall , and would like to rou nd off the year by having a new " Catholic Lad ies College" sign erected at the entrance of the College.
