foreword This year "Silver and G r e e n " met with competition. "Ludus" a p p e a r e d

on

the market! With relief, w e note that "Silver and G r e e n " beats the newspaper in the price war. But with terror, w e saw "Ludus" invade our territories of letters to the Editor, photography, humour, and even encroach on the sacred domain of the magazine, poetry.

T h e arrival of " L u d u s " has meant that the role of "Silver and G r e e n "

has

had to be redefined. T h e r e are differences between the audiences of newspaper and the magazine: w h e r e the newspaper is intended for the school, the m a g a z i n e is also read by those outside the school. This means that there are

different

expectations of the two. "Silver and G r e e n " is a presentation of what the school can achieve and a recognition of those who have been involved in activities, while the newspaper

is directed

at school politics.

For this reason, w e

have

d e c i d e d not to include a Letters to the Editor section. W e have printed no essays.

School jokes have not been included either, because the newspaper s e e m e d to do this so well (besides, no one submitted anything). In case you would be afraid that the magazine will now be a cheerless drab selection of intellectual display, w e have included some Nonsense.

Perhaps an even more difficult question arose when we tried to work out what w e w e r e doing in the Creative Section. Should we include the " b e s t " work submitted or should w e try to print as much as possible? W e could not find an answer to this question. On the one hand, it s e e m e d important to produce what w e thought was a " g o o d " selection: on the other, w e felt w e ought to be encouraging as many people as possible to write. W e e n d e d up sitting squarely on the fence (and that is an uncomfortable and precarious position!) not really

happy

with what w e w e r e doing and unable to reconcile the two roles.

W e are worried that many people will feel disappointed because their poems w e r e not chosen. It must s e e m to them that their efforts were wasted. But w e would like to say how much w e enjoyed reading all the entries, and how sorry w e are that our selection has had to be so arbitrary and narrow.

from the principal...

During the year w e have seen a number of changes in the positions of leadership at M.L.C. Miss Barbara Sutton, B.A., Dip.Ed., who had been on the

College

Teaching Staff for more than twenty-seven years, and since 1967 had served as Vice-Principal,

left at the

end of T e r m I to b e c o m e Headmistress of C a m b e r w e l l Church of England Girls' G r a m m a r School. W e thank Miss Sutton for

her splendid

service

and

wish

her

well in her important new task.

Miss V. M. Kerr, B.A., Dip.Phys.Ed., has been Acting Vice-Principal for the remainder of the year. Miss Kerr has willingly and efficiently carried out the task given to her and she has won the gratitude of both teachers and students.

T h e College Council has appointed Miss Betty Jackson, B.Sc., Dip.Ed., to the position of

Vice-Principal

commencing in 1974. Miss Jackson has been a teacher at M.L.C. for twenty-eight years. S h e has been Senior Biology T e a c h e r for many years and at present she is Senior

Mistress

at

Form

VI

level.

Miss

Jackson

brings professional c o m p e t e n c e and devotion to the ideals of M.L.C. to her task and w e are sure that she will

make

a distinctive

contribution

to the

life

and

work of our College.

At the end of T e r m II our College Chaplain, the Rev. Wesley Trigg,

B.A.,

B.D., with

Mrs. Trigg

and

their

daughters, Stephanie and Fiona, left for England on Long Service Leave. Mr. Trigg intends to stay overseas during 1974 to undertake further studies in Religious Education. W e wish this M.L.C. family every success during their time overseas and w e are glad to hear that their eldest daughter, Jocelyn, will join them at the end of the year.

VICE-PRINCIPALS

PastMiss Barbara Sutton, b . a . ( H o n s . ) D i p . e o „ m a . c . e The position of Vice-Principal must be a very hard one. T h e person who holds that sort of authority can very easily b e c o m e a symbol of all the hostility people might feel towards the school. It is extraordinary that during the time Miss Sutton was Vice-Principal, this never s e e m e d to happen to her. S h e retained her personality, and because she was so reasonable in her attitude towards the school, she enabled others to see the reasons behind the organisation.

. .umBftMt T*"® j r

W e mainly knew her as an administrator: the good fairy who conjured order out of the complicated masses of time-tables. How she did it still remains an imponderable mystery. Yet although the organisation of this huge school was so well co-ordinated, organisation never pervaded school-life.

Those who have left M.L.C. would remember Miss Sutton mainly as a teacher. She enjoyed Literature and History very much and was able to communicate this to her students. The excellent results her students gained indicates some of their excitement in the subject. Miss Sutton has very interesting ideas on education. She w e l c o m e s new methods and enjoys adapting herself to different areas of knowledge and different educational ideas. She has taught many subjects at all levels of the school. It was very illuminating that in her final year at M.L.C. she chose to teach History to first form. T h e change from H.S.C. classes to Form I must have been colossal: yet both she and the students enjoyed the lessons enormously.

Miss Sutton was also deeply involved in extra-curricular activities, especially Debating.

She was also instrumental in organising Liberal Studies, and the freedom she was given in setting this up was very important to her. T h e opportunity to introduce and change things was something she valued very much and it enabled her to use the position of Vice-Principal creatively.

But perhaps more important than any of these abilities was her interest in her students. They always felt that she had time for them. S h e was mild, too, to those who disobeyed school rules. As one firstformer put it: " S h e didn't tick you off". S h e had the ability to m a k e people feel they w e r e important to her.

W e all wish her well in her new appointment, and miss her very much-.

You, Miss

Dip. P h y s .

Ed.

Kerr

During her long association with the school, Miss Kerr has been a student as well as a m e m b e r of Staff and after Miss Sutton's appointment as Principal of Church of England Girls' G r a m m a r School, M.L.C. was fortunate that through her loyalty and willingness to serve the school, Miss Kerr took over the most unenviable task of being Acting Vice-Principal along with her previous role as Chief-of-Staff and co-ordinator of English. At the s a m e time she has continued her unobtrusive yet active support of all school activities such as the music festival, d r a m a and sport.

T h e s e extra duties placed in Miss Kerr's charge must have been quite overwhelming but through her untiring devotion to the school she has been most efficient. One of her outstanding characteristics is that she always sees the best in everyone and is prepared to listen to all points of view.

W e are most grateful to Miss Kerr for taking over as she did and hope that when she is relieved of her extra burdens she will revert to her former habit of humming in the corridors.

FutureMiss Betty V. Jackson,

b.sc.,

Dip.Ed.

Those who know Miss Jackson would have been very happy to hear that she is to be Vice-Principal from 1974. This year, Miss Jackson has been in charge of sixth form, and so, of the Senior Centre. This is certainly not an easy job; but the Senior Centre has been a very friendly institution this year thanks to her and Lyn Dennerstein. Her supervision has been unobtrusive, giving real support to people when it is needed, but making sure that it remains the girls' Centre — a balance most people would find impossible to keep.

As a teacher, she is full of ingenuity. She changes girls into enzymes in order to demonstrate the finer points of biology!

She has a great concern for people, too, and this makes her an extremely perceptive listener. But perhaps the most obvious thing about her is her sense of humour; she is also able to laugh at herself. At this time of year, when exam, pressures build up, her sense of the ridiculous helps everyone to keep some sense of proportion!

W e all hope she enjoys her new

appointment.

Senior Prefects' Reports As with most new beginnings, our appointments filled us with stirrings of idealism and optimism. We, as the named leaders of such a vastly different collection of individuals, looked for a defined role with which we could become identified. Were we to be strict authoritarians at whose sight the student body quailed with fear and respect? Our first session of Gate Duty soon dispelled this notion. At the other extreme, the idea of becoming very radical (M.L.C. style) leaders, catering to every current student " s t i r " had much appeal. The popularity received by such a leader is very attractive to those contemplating such an office.

Yet we soon found that such a role would be entirely unsatisfactory.

The body of Prefects and the tradition thus associated are remnants of an educational style that is passing. Thankfully the M.L.C. student body is developing a very noticeable air of individualism and responsibility, and on occasions, it appears that parts of the role that a prefect fulfils seem to stifle this creative element within the school. Yet this effect is overcome when we consider the body as a positive force within the school.

The Prefects this year have become more involved with the younger sections of the school and we have been continually reminded of the refreshing enthusiasm that still exists somewhere within our numbers. The Prefects have j o i n e d in a move, aided by our S.R.C. and newspaper, to eradicate the apathy within the school. Whether it takes verbal lashings in Assembly or printed screeds in " L u d u s " , the school as a whole must approach its situation with an ability to react in a constructive and positive manner.

KATHY DE GARIS

Functions at which M.L.C. was represented in '73.

Rotary Club of Melbourne—Luncheon.

Inter-School Leaders' Barbecue (Held at M.L.C.).

Commonwealth Youth Sunday Meeting (Held at Government House).

Edith Cavell Memorial Service for Anzac Day. Lord Mayor's Fund—Annual Meeting.

Inter-School Seminar (Held at Caulfield Grammar).

The role of the Prefect is a difficult one to define, especially in the context of changing social attitudes. Personally, I feel that the concept that prefects are to be venerated and granted special privileges is obsolete. At best, we should expect support from our fellow H.S.C. students who elected us, and respect for their decision from the rest of the school.

In our role as Prefects we have, of course, had successes and failures. Accusations of elitism have been levelled against us as a group, mainly because, unfortunately, some of us have been conspicuously absent from Senior Centre during the year. I tend to lay the blame for this at the doorstep of our doubtful privilege, the Prefects' Common Room. Its divisive effect on the otherwise united group of H.S.C. students outweighs its one advantage over Senior Centre, that is, its convenience of location.

However, our attempts to lessen the isolation which so often exists between different levels of a school as large as M.L.C. have been more successful. A number of the Prefects have adopted forms in Middle and Lower Middle school in addition to their senior forms. Although this involves only one roll-call each week, it has been instrumental in developing friendships and, speaking personally, a very enjoyable experience. Kathy and I also achieved this result in a memorable visit to Junior School, when we participated in two assemblies.

Our duties have been considerably lightened by the school's decision to make the wearing of summer hats optional. The entire student body — and especially the Prefects — rejoiced exuberantly at this enlightened and practical decision, for which sincere thanks are due to the Uniform Committee, the Parents' Association, the Staff and, of course, our indispensable S.R.C.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES 7 3

Chess Club

United Nations Club

A game that takes a lot of skill and concentration has at last interested a number of M.L.C. girls enough to form a club. Chess is the ideal game for encouraging clear thinking and development of the mind.

The members of the United Nations Association cannot say that the year has been financially prosperous, but we have found it a worthwhile and fulfilling time. Our activities have included a watermelon stall in first term, which was extremely successful; a soup stall in second term and other minor activities. The most rewarding of all of these this year was our trip to the zoo, with a class of primary school children from Collingwood State School. It was an exhausting but unforgettable day. The children were extremely tired but very happy and I am sure that their visit to the zoo will be a day that none of them will ever forget.

The activities of the club have consisted this year of the fourteen members competing against one another to determine the standard of their playing. It is necessary to know this because next year we want a team of five to play against the five schools in the inter-school competitions. Unfortunately, at our recent game against the Kingswood Chess Club the overall standard of our club was not very high (M.L.C. won three games to Kingswood approximately 30), but apart from the chess side, it was really successful. Towards the end of the term we hope to have another game with them, with better results for our side.

A very helpful member, whom I want to thank, is Mr. Donovan, who has been very enthusiastic and encouraging.

We'll need a lot of practice for the competitions next year unless we suddenly get five exceptionally good players. So, as we'll be much busier I hope we'll get many more members.

CATHERINE CABENA

Unfortunately the club did not expand beyond the limits of a service group, to the desirable aim of being a group of people who join together to learn and understand more about one another and those of other races.

If this dimension of club activity could be achieved, then I am sure that in our own small way we would be fulfilling the basic aim of this club, which is to promote tolerance, love, understanding and peace amongst different peoples and nations throughout the world. If this could be achieved by the United Nations Association of M.L.C. and other small groups around the world, then the apparently inaccessible, idealist goal of world peace may eventually be attained.

The club has been relatively active this year, and I am convinced that next year it will be even more so. As retiring President, 1 would like to thank everyone who supported my committee and me throughout the year, and extend my best wishes to those who w i l l be in the Club in 1974.

FIONA DUNNER

Philosophy Club The Philosophy Club has had a very successful year, with many interesting speakers. The club is indebted to Mr. Goodwin for organizing the meetings and contacting the speakers.

To begin the year Dr. Lauchlan Chipman, senior lecturer in philosophy at Melbourne University, gave an interesting talk on "The Nature of Philosophy and Philosophical Problems".

The club also received a very stimulating lecture on the "Concept of a Person" from Dr. Graeme Marshall, senior lecturer in philosophy at Melbourne University. In second term we had a discussion on "The Nature of Education" and we thank Mrs. Otzen for her contribution. From Dr. Max Charlesworth, Reader in Philosophy at Melbourne University, we gained a philosophical insight into the work of Sigmund Freud. A fascinating and intriguing lecture was given by Rev. John Williams, Chaplain of St. Leonard's Presbyterian College, Brighton, on "E.S.P. and Related Phenomena".

The club is grateful to Miss B. Jackson for allowing us the use of Senior Centre for our meetings.

This year we have been pleased with the interest shown by members in fourth and fifth forms as well as H.S.C. HELEN ATTWOOD

Genealogy Club During the year the Genealogy Club was very active although the membership was relatively small. Under the guidance of Mr. Donovan the club managed to achieve valuable research into family histories and heraldry. Our activities throughout the year have included an attendance at a meeting of the Genealogical Society of Victoria, a visit to their advisory officer and extensive library, and more recently an enjoyable excursion to the LaTrobe Library, which has in its possession a collection of historical records.

We would like to thank Mr. Donovan for his assistance throughout the year and HOPE for the club's successful continuation in 1974. It needs i t !

Debating

1973 has been a successful year for the club. Over 300 financial members belong and this includes many H.S.C. siudents.

Our activities have been varied — some have been cultural, some purely entertaining, some, unfortunately, " c a l o r i f i c " for the weight.

M.L.C. has once again completed a successful year of debating. The school team (Kathryn De Garis, Lyndal Roper, and Isabelle Henbest) has had a rewarding year with three wins against Melbourne Grammar, Xavier College and St. Kevin's Coiiege and a narrow defeat by one point against Sacre Coeur.

The most gratifying win was against Xavier College, which has beaten M.L.C. for the last few years. Sincere thanks are extended to Mr. Goodwin for his unending support and guidance throughout the competition.

On many Friday nights throughout the year many club members have rushed from school to an entertaining evening at Russell Street Theatre. Some of the excellent plays have included " O l d Times," "Prisoner of Second Avenue", " M o t h e r Courage", "Batman's Beachhead". Future piays will include " A l l My Sons" by Miller and " L o n g Day's Journey into N i g h t " by O'Neill.

The highlight of the year was our attendance at the Rock Musical "Jesus Christ, Superstar". We were happy to join with Mr. Lyndsay Morris and his R.E. classes, and a tctal of 500 students attended two performances of the musical, "Jesus Christ, Superstar". Some of our members also saw " A Midsummer Night's Dream", " T w o Gentlemen of Verona" and the fabulous "Leningrad Kirov Ballet Company" dancing 'The Gala Divertissement", " G i s e l l e " and " S w a n Lake".

The Inter-House Debating competition was won by Cato, whose team, by amazing co-incidence, happened to be the same as the school team. We thank Mr. Woodgate and Miss Kerr for the very fair adjudication during the three week competition.

Finally, congratulations to Shelley Henley, of Tiddeman, w h o won the Oratory by giving a very humorous and stimulating speech on " A Critical Look at Modern Advertising".

ISABELLE HENBEST

It was fascinating to meet the cast of "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" after the show and an added surprise was being able to meet Trevor White of the "Jesus Christ, Superstar" cast.

At school, some of the Form IV students were able to see slides shown by Mrs. Patton of her recent trip to Japan; slides of Miss Lancaster's trip to Indonesia and enjoy a fascinating talk by Mrs. Zainu'ddin about life in Indonesia. A Chinese " D i m S i m " breakfast was fascinating for some members.

Of course, luncheons and food have been an excellent way of moneymaking. We have held casserole luncheons which have been well attended by both Staff and students. We have raised at least $80 to donate to the new library. Before the end of the year we hope to visit the National Art Gallery and organize an end-of-year dinner for club members.

We would like to thank all committee members and club members for their support. On behalf of the club, our deepest gratitude and sincere thanks must go to Miss Rudin for her untiring help and the pleasure she has given to so many girls. Thanks a lot for everything, Miss Rudin !

The club has a great future and with the continual support of so many eager girls, 1974 should be another successful year.

Good luck !

Guide Notes Miss Lambe, who is the leader of eighteen Guides at M.L.C., has organised many activities and outings. In December, 1972, we held a camp at Britannia Park, near Yarra Junction, for two days and this was attended by Guides in the Kew, Deepdene and West Bulleen areas.

S.C.M. Report This year S.C.M. has enjoyed a variety of different functions.

We were pleased to have with us such speakers as Mrs. Schultz (a missionary from Numbalwah), Harley Kitchen and Graeme Smith from Campaigners for Christ, and a selection of teachers on teacher panels. Other notable times during the year were the showing of a film entitled " P a r a b l e " and Mr. Gooderham's talk on his work in the Friendly Islands.

These were tremendous opportunities to share our beliefs and ideas about Jesus Christ.

Thanks to all who helped in the organisation of these meetings.

Yours in Christ,

During Term I we had a swimming day at the M.L.C. pool and we were allowed to invite our friends. On another occasion a Danish Guide came and taught us how to make Danish sandwiches.

One exciting experience was when some of our Company took part in the Guard of Honour for the Princess of Moomba. We also had a church service at St. Hilary's Church of England in John Street, Kew. Two girls qualified for their service flashes, which were well deserved after all their hard work. We have had many interesting and valuable activities this year and we hope that we shall have a number of new recruits in the near future.

Student Councellor visits South-East Asia Mrs. J. Wilson, the Student Counsellor, left on a South-East Asian tour in late September this year.

She followed a tight schedule — within two weeks, she visited Singapore and over ten towns in East and West Malaysia.

During her visit she was able to make a study of the education system used by the Ma'aysian/Singaporean schools. Visits to the schools were arranged by the M.L.C. Asian students who contacted their former school principals. These (overseas) schools comprised a wide cross-section. There were missionary schools of different denominations; Government schools, Primary, Secondary, Pre-University and Co-educational schools.

Mrs. Wilson took with her copies of "Silver and Green", together with photos of the school and students. These aided her in her lectures on "Education in Australia" which she gave to the students she met.

At present there are approximately at M.L.C.

twenty-five Asian

students

Mrs. Wilson has been the guardian of many overseas students who have been studying at the college during the past four years.

We expect that this experience will be of help to her in her future encounters with Asian students.

Mrs. Wilson and her husband have expressed their gratitude for the wonderful hospitality and warm welcome extended to them by the girls' parents during their South-East Asian tour.

"Out of sight, out of m i n d " ? This is certainly not true for Mrs. Wilson. Although she had only two short weeks in Malaysia and Singapore, we know her trip will remain forever in her memory.

ZANIE OON KATHERINE PUNG

A.F.S. As my year in Australia is almost over I wanted to take this opportunity to thank M.L.C. for making it one filled with so many new experiences and wonderful memories. I'm sure this will be the best year of my life. I shall never forget it or any of the new friends I've made here.

M.L.C. is different from what I was accustomed to at my high school in New Jersey, but the differences were interesting to come in contact with and they have helped me in understanding more about the Australian way of life. I wish all the best to M.L.C. for the future and thank everyone again for giving me such a good year.

LAURIE EMMART A.F.S. Student, 1973

Representing M.L.C. this year for A.F.S. is Gill Briant. Being an exchange student in the U.S., she attends the Silverton Union High School in Silverton, State of Oregon. She is living with the Guyer family on a farm and experiencing a totally new sort of life which she enjoys very much. Even some of the subjects she takes at school are different and to name a few, they include animal husbandry, citizenship education and physical education which to date includes archery and bicycle riding. Besides helping out in the farming activities at home, she belongs to the Accapella Choir, a select choral group backed by a large choir of 150 voices. Her stay in the U.S. lasts for a year only and it will not be long now before she is back here again with us to complete her matriculation course. Meanwhile we sincerely hope that this experience Will be a memorable and cherished one for her.

I spent my year in West Chicago, a very small town of 11,000 people about 35 miles west of Chicago in Illinois. All around the town there were farms growing lllinois's famous crop . . . CORN. Many of the students lived on the farms and caught the school bus to and from school. The people lived a very quiet life, with all activity centred around the High School. This I found very interesting, especially coming from M.L.C. where only a small minority of the students participate in extra-curricular activities.

The school I attended was West Chicago Community High School. It had about 1500 students enrolled between the Freshman (3rd form), Sophomore (4th form), Juniors (5th form) and Senior (6th form) levels. It was co-ed, with no uniform. Thai's not quite true — students had to wear shoes and "dress in good taste", which meant that most students wore jeans or slacks in winter and in summer, skirts or shorts, but really anything could be worn.

The school year is divided into two semesters, and at my school it was possible to take either year, or semester courses. A typical day for me was getting up at 6.45 and after coffee, leaving at 7.30. My American " D a d " drove my sister and me the V/2 miles to school, which started at 8.00 a.m. The time-table is the same every day and classes are 55 minutes long. I started with typing first hour, 5 minute Home room (daily attendance taken and daily notices), Contemporary Political Problems, second hour; Choir, third hour; major American writers, fourth; 30 minutes for lunch; Physical Education and Bio-Chemistry. In the seventh hour the Student Council met. These were my first semester classes and in the second semester I took American History, Sociology, Choir, Expository Writing, P.E. and American Government.

The Student Council is very powerful and if used to the fullest extent by the students can be very advantageous. The Student Council organises and runs all the school dances, films such as " B o n n i e and Clyde", rock concert, and raises money to donate to the school. The money goes to the library, sporting equipment or general maintenance. During the year we raised over $2000. It also tried to get " o f f c a m p u s " passed by the School Board, that is, students who have a free hour may go home. They also deal with student problems.

The extra-curricular activities are very wide and a number of students participate; those who work after school support it at football games, choir or drama events. In the U.S., towns are very orientated around the school. The School Board is elected from the community, local taxes help run the school and nearly all the teachers live in the town. Everyone knows everyone else, so when a football season starts in September, the whole community, students, teachers, members of the School Board and all interested people come to watch. One particularly cold and rainy Friday night there was an estimated 1500 people at the High School game. The classroom atmosphere is more relaxed as students and teachers mingle at the events.

I saw several states during my year. When I first arrived my family took me on a trip through Wisconsin, Michigan, Ontario (Canada), Niagara Falls, and to my grandparents in upper New York State. We came home seeing a small part of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Then, at the end of my stay, there was a bus trip for all the A.F.S. students. On my bus there were 41 students from 27 different countries. We stayed again in Ohio, N.Y. State, Maryland, Washington, D.C. Then most of the students flew home.

The Australians had an extra six days in California before flying home to Australia.

I gained from my year in many ways. Educationally, I learnt in another system, taking advantage of new subjects. I found love and understanding in all the homes I lived in, even if it was overnight. Interested people wanted to know all about me and my country. I learned to love many students from countries all over the world, and found that with all our different backgrounds, it is possible to live together in respect and admiration.

Life has infinite possibilities and everyone should try to live life to the fullest. The year is different for everyone; some experiences are good, others are not — but isn't this what life is about?

SOUTH-EAST

School Tours CENTRAL AUSTRALIAN

TOUR

On the 11th May, 17 girls in the care of Mr. Trigg, accompanied

by Mrs. Hilson and Mrs. Holloway, left Tullamarine Airport for 14 days in Central Australia.

During the first week of our tour we stayed at St. Philip's College, Alice Springs, which is a boarding college for both aboriginal and white children. We stayed in the boys' dormitories while the children were away for their May vacation. St. Philips is within walking distance of the centre of Alice Springs and we spent considerable time in wandering around the town buying souvenirs. We were also very lucky as the college had its own swimming pool and this was appreciated greatly on the warmest days, although at times the weather was quite cool. During our nine day stay at St. Philip's we were occupied in various tasks, such as weeding and clearing, and we also visited the Old Timers' Home where we assisted the staff in clearing weeds from the orchard.

Nearly every day we went on sightseeing tours to places of interest in and around Alice Springs. We visited Glen Helen Gorge, Standley Chasm, Ormiston Gorge, and numerous other beautiful scenic places, including Palm Valley, which is reached by an extremely bumpy, sandy track (causing some excitement on the bus), and the Amphitheatre which is a wonderful natural arrangement of rock formations. We also saw Albert Namatjira's house and grave, and John Flynn's grave; while one Sunday night we attended a church service in the unusual Flynn Memorial Church which is of great historical interest.

On this tour there was an added attraction. Instead of going to Ayer's Rock as on previous tours, we travelled 200 miles southeast to Andado cattle station. This was an unusual experience, as we stayed for three days in the old homestead which is on the edge of the Simpson Desert. From Andado we went 30 miles into the Simpson Desert in the bus, which became bogged in the sand while we were chasing camels and we all had to push it to get it moving. We also visited the new homestead, where we met the owners of Andado, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, and while there we went horse riding.

From Andado we journeyed to Finke, a town on the AdelaideAlice Springs railway, where we watched the cattle trucking and then spent the night in the Finke hotel, at which we watched or joined in snooker with the cattle men. We then returned to Alice Springs where, following a barbecue at a private home, we spent our final night in two-man tents in a camping ground outside the town.

It was an extremely interesting trip and I think we all gained something from the experience. On behalf of the participants I woulJ like to thank Mr. Trigg, Mrs. Hilson and Mrs. Holloway for their guidance and help in the tour, and I am sure they also would have had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

TOUR

1973 was the first year that M.L.C. has sent a tour party to South-East Asia and for the benefit o f ' f u t u r e girls I hope it is not the last. The touring party of 26 girls was ably led by Mr. Seymour and Mrs. Ashton, who were well supported by Miss Hcwie, Miss Burke, Mrs. Coulson and Mr. and Mrs. Binns. Old Collegian, Chris Wade who is at present studying Indonesian, also accompanied the tour. It was a very harmonious little g r o u p with both girls and Staff giving complete co-operaiion which ensured a happy and easy-going atmosphere. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the tour leaders and other members of Staff for the great effort they put into the tour and for making it so thoroughly enjoyable for all.

Our first stop was Bali, which is an absolutely beautiful Indonesian island. The most outstanding feature of the place was the incredible friendliness of all the people. They seemed to lead a very simple, perhaps even lazy, existence but they were very contented and never tired of shouting and waving at us. Throughout the whole of Indonesia, the people, especially the children, were very peaceable and I was only sorry that we could not communicate with them past the Indonesian greeting "Salamat Pagi". The scenery in Bali was most picturesque, with extensive rice terraces and beautiful palm trees and everyone was very sorry to leave.

Our trip to Surabaya, in eastern Java, was essentially to look at the sunrise over the "Sea of Sands" at Mt. Brono. We set off at midnight one night on a rather terrifying bus trip on a narrow mountain road and finally transferred to Land Rovers which took us to a mountain village. Here we were met by the local men with their ponies, and they led us to the recently erupted Mt. Brono. The sight of the " S e a of Sands" is magnificent and very difficult to describe, but it is the effect achieved when the fog collects in the valley around the volcano. This really looks like the sea and is most beautiful to watch. We climbed to the top of the volcano to find that we had missed the sunrise, but the amazing view was sufficient consolation. I'm sure no one will forget our visit to the "Sea of Sands", especially not Mrs. Ashton, who sprained her ankle.

In Jogjakarta we stayed at a guest house with a lovely Indonesian family, Mr. and Mrs. Sumanyas, who showed typical Indonesian friendliness and hospitality, and it was here that we bought the beautiful Batik painting for the school library. In this large city we visited fascinating batik factories, silver works and a leather puppet factory. During our stay we dined at a Prince's P a l a c e , where again the hospitality was Wonderful. Some girls visited the shadow puppet show, the Wayang Kulit which all who attended enjoyed, and some also went to the incredibly beautiful classical dance, the Ramayana, in which the dancers were very agile and graceful.

Bandung is on a mountain and was a slight relief from the intense heat of Jogjakarta. The countryside was very beautiful and we stopped at some lovely hot springs where some girls braved the water. Throughout our stay in Indonesia it was very interesting to try the different national foods, although I must say without wishing to be unduly critical that most would have been glad to return to our European foods.

By the time we reached Jakarta exhaustion was setting in, so only a few girls saw the extreme poverty of this huge city, but those who did were greatly moved by this. The city itself is very modern and there are signs of President Soekarno's extravagance in the many statues and memorials. Jakarta was our last view of Indonesia, where we stayed for about two weeks overall before leaving for Singapore.

In Singapore as was inevitable, we all spent alarmingly before leaving for Malacca. This is just across the causeway from Singapore and is a very historic town with some interesting churches and temples. After a brief stay we returned to our hotel in Singapore where we met some very hospitable Indian people to w h o m some of us are going to write. On our last morning in Singapore some of us went on a very beautiful harbour cruise, visiting a small fishing village, whilst others went on a general tour of the island, visiting famous sights such as Jade House and the Tiger Balm Gardens.

All in all the tour was a great success. I know that I can safely say that all who went enjoyed themselves immensely and returned with a far greater insight into a very different world which is so very close to our own country.

Music in Our School The second part of the " W i n t e r - D u o " took the form of the Annual Senior Music Recital," a night of solo and chamber music which gave our musicians a further opportunity to gain performance experience. The introduction of the " W i n t e r - D u o " added quite a professional air to the yearly performances, especially as it received professional-type advertising through printed handbills and radio commentaries.

The Lower Middle School girls gave a most promising recital during second term. The whole school is turning, with increasing interest, to the musical activities of the younger girls, for their contribution to the M.L.C. musical life is very real and without the excellent musical training these girls receive, M.L.C's exceptionally high musical standing would slip considerably.

The musicians of M.L.C. have once again participated in many varied and successful musical ventures. Happily, the number of girls who can feel included in the term "M.L.C. musicians" is an extremely large one. We, as a school, possess four choirs, two orchestras, three madrigal groups, a string orchestra and string quartet, a rhythm group and many other w o o d w i n d " c h o i r s " and ensembles. The whole school body is involved in the enjoyment of music through the various massed items performed, but yet, it is those particularly involved in the aforesaid groups who have gained the most memorable experiences and pleasures.

Before we look at the numerous outstanding performances delivered, I feel it is appropriate to record the satisfaction and personal pleasure that has resulted from the preparation leading up to these performances.

Such activities have given us all a tremendous feeling of belonging and friendship that results from the purposeful striving towards a common end.

The next musical event of second term is a most interesting one, for here, as in no other way, the entire Senior and Middle Schools are musically encouraged.

The annual House Music Contests, a time of extreme activity, (and slight (!) confusion by many) is certainly the Inter-House event of the year. The musical standard was again extraordinarily high and the winners, as j u d g e d by the adjudicator, Mr. Warren Thomson, were Krome House. The Middle School contest, as judged by Mr. E. Brown, was won by Krome House.

The chorals showed great evidence of the excellent instrumental training given to all the musicians. It is perhaps appropriate at this stage to give thanks to Mr. Van Ernst, a most popular and extremely successful teacher and leader of both orchestras, who has succeeded in building up our instrumental section to such a high degree. It is interesting to note that M.L.C. now offers the complete range of orchestral instruments, including the trombone and the tuba. The brass section of the music school is growing quickly, showing the popularity achieved by these instruments.

However, this feeling of togetherness is not an instantaneous thing. As usual, the beginning of 1973 saw the formation of new groups in every musical field, each to be trained and moulded.

One very bright spot in this often rather frustrating time was the performance given by the Senior School Choir of 1972, at the National Gallery, in conjunction with the '73 Eucharistic Congress.

It was a most memorable experience to perform in such architecturally splendid surroundings to a group of Melbournians, many of whom had had no prior contact with M.L.C's musical ability.

In such a setting the Benjamin Britten "A Ceremony of Carols" could only have been the outstanding success that it was.

M.L.C. is rapidly becoming a "musical show p i e c e " of Victorian schools and it is performances such as "The Requiem" by Verdi, sung by the Senior M.L.C. Choir with the Scotch College Choir, that have built up this reputation. The performance on 13th September, in Dallas Brooks Hall, was superb. With guest soloists Carol McKenzie (sop.), Cavell Armstrong (mezzo sop.), Raymond McDonald (tenor) and John Brosnan (bass), combined with a very professional orchestral backing, the whole night was notable for its musical content and the evident enthusiasm of those involved.

No critique has confirmed this, but in the light of the knowledge that the '72 Requiem was in the top two musical performances for the year, we consider that the '73 Requiem would rate again in this exclusive bracket.

April 1 saw the Senior School Annual Church Service, in which the Senior School Massed Group presented the "Procession of Palms", a modern and very stirring anthem by Malcolm Williamson. The Middle School church service, held in the Auburn Methodist Church, was also a most successful worship service.

Quickly following the Requiem was a lunch-time performance given by the senior madrigal group, sponsored by the Council for Adult Education. A bracket of madrigals, Brahms " L o v e Song Waltzes" and the string quartet, combined with excerpts from the Vivaldi-Gloria, was most successfully performed.

After these massed group events, the musicians all settled down to hard, consolidated musical activity. The music school has been very fortunate during the year in that it has maintained an extremely competent music staff, that is an invaluable aid to all those under its guidance. The staff, numbering 35, has not been altered during the year and this has increased still further the strong feeling of stability that exists concerning the activities of the music school.

Another musical highlight that will have been performed before the appearance of this article, is the Middle School " M u s i c a l e " , a most interesting collection of musical gems taken from "The M i k a d o " , the cantata "The Promised Land" and a bracket of pieces from the second orchestra. The Middle School was most active in third term for the occasion of the Middle School Recital was also very close to the " m u s i c a l e " . The school gives sincere thanks for the excellent work done by Mrs. Runge and Mrs. Casey with the younger girls. We also applaud the enthusiasm of Mrs. Helen Campbell, an Old Collegian, who joined our staff at the beginning of the year. Such enthusiasm is splendid to see and spells successful future years for the Senior Musical Groups.

Second Term saw a very full musical programme, highlighted by the " W i n t e r — D u o " . This novel and most exciting double programme spanned over two consecutive Friday evenings.

The first, a "Choral-Orchestral Concert", saw performances by the senior orchestra and string orchestra, the senior choir and the madrigal group. The night was full of innovations, for firstly, the M.L.C.-Wesley Chorale, a choral group consisting of the senior madrigal group and the Wesley College Glee Club, performed the complete " G l o r i a " by Vivaldi — a glorious small cantata that the school has never done previously.

A second " n o v e l t y " was the swing to modern popular music, performed most enthusiastically by the Senior Orchestra, and a light music ensemble. Senior assembly will not forget quickly the playing of " I f I were a Rich Man" from " F i d d l e r on the Roof", one morning. This performance really showed the school what excellent work is being done by the instrumental groups and orchestras of the school.

20

Third term, unfortunately, is a rather limited time for musical performances, owing to the imposition of final examinations. Yet we are all looking forward (especially the H.S.C. girls) to the Senior Speech Night, to be held this year in Dallas Brooks Hall.

It is on this occasion that we view the climax of M.L.C.'s musical achievement. It is fitting to conclude this report whilst dwelling on the event of Speech Night, to offer our sincerest thanks and congratulations to Mrs. Elton-Brown, the director and co-ordinator of our music school. With the climactic occasion of Senior Speech Night we see, most obviously, the tremendous dedication and musical ability of our leader. Thank you, Mrs. EltonBrown, for 1973—a wonderful year of music.

DRAMA Firstly, I feel we must extend our thanks to all the Speech and Drama staff, especially to Mrs. Wootton, for their help and encouragement in the many activities this field offers.

The first major dramatic event of the school year was the Senior House Plays. Much time was given to their preparation and it was generally agreed that the productions this year were of an unusually high standard. Mr. Malcolm Robertson adjudicated, giving first place to Nevile, for their production of an extract from " T h e L a r k " by Jean Anouilh. One of the points of Nevile's play, Mr. Robertson said, was that it was the first play he had seen where it did not matter that girls played boys and that this ambiguity of sex was very successful. Nevile were particularly fortunate in that the producer, Pam Williams, had also produced the House play the previous year and so had had very valuable experience. Second place was awarded to the production of an extract from "Our T o w n " by Thornton Wilder, produced

by Angela King, of Berry. This play was visually very exciting and Angela's artistic sense was clearly evident, particularly in the " u m b r e l l a " scene, where lighting, grouping and costuming were combined to create a most memorable effect for those who were fortunate enough to see it. Special mention must be given to Krome, who gained third place with a highly experimental production of extracts from Shakespeare's " M a c b e t h " , produced by Anna Lewit. Several very interesting stage and lighting effects were used and an extremely large cast was organised. This play must have taken a considerable amount of time and effort to prepare, and it is hoped that next year there will be further experimentation along these lines.

Unfortunately, the School Play, under the direction of Mrs. Wootton, has been postponed and will now be presented in the second week of first term next year, with some present H.S.C. students returning to take part. The play is one of social comment, called "The Insect Play" by Czechoslovakian playwrights, the Brothers Capek. Nearly all of the characters are insects of one kind or another (which explains the references to "Creepers and Crawlers", etc. which have been amusing assemblies).

It promises to be an excellent production.

The fifth form girls taking "theatre w o r k s h o p " as part of their course in Communications — now an approved Leaving subject — are busy rehearsing their own plays, with the intention of staging them later this term.

And, finally, a w o r d about the drama classes themselves. Little has been heard of them this year, because they have not all been staging plays, unlike other years. However, they are well attended (although attendance in third term always decreases, particularly in Senior Drama, because of exam. work). This year, in Senior Drama, the distinction between creative drama and drama intended for production has been emphasised. Attention has been focused primarily on creative work this year, with much work being done on areas such as improvisation and movement.

As the years go by, drama at M.L.C. is being recognised more and more as an art.

It has been good to see the interest in drama, and the resources available for its practice develop over my years at M.L.C. and I hope it will continue to expand this way in the future.

JAN TWOMEY.

Communications A major revolution is currently sweeping 1973's Leaving students.

The awakening is taking the form of a new subject known as " C o m m u n i c a t i o n s " . Twenty-two girls are privileged enough to participate in this unusual subject. Do you know the extent of your ignorance? For instance, do you know what verbal dynamics or sound poetry are? Can you j u d g e children's literature with a critical eye? What are the various stages a child goes through when learning to talk? What do you know about the history of theatre and the staging of a play? All this and much more is explored in Dwyer Hall, where we congregate every day. Lessons are exciting and interesting, although the work is hard and demanding. This year we have written our own books for children, conducted surveys outside school on slang, prejudices toward accent, and speech deprivation amongst socially secure families.

We have also entertained junior school children, given demonstrations, made our own mock radio shows and expressed ourselves creatively through movement. This subject is recommended for shy people, future teachers, mothers or just human adults.

It will grow in importance as the years go by and maybe it will eventually reach the H.S.C. syllabus. Until then, all power to Fifth Form communicators!

Middle School Drama Festival The Sixth Annual Middle School Drama Festival was parallel in excellence to its Senior counterpart, and presented six very entertaining productions of a standard which only devotion and pure hard slog can attain.

We were privileged to have as our Adjudicator Mrs. Rae Tomlinson, once a member of our Speech Staff, w h o gave several practical comments on the plays.

Fitchett broke the ice with their interpretation of "Sunday Cost Five Pesos" by Josephina Niggli, a story of the reconciliation of two lovers set in a small square in a Mexican village. Robyn Hall and Sue Jones distinguished themselves as the two chief characters. Visually, the effect of a hot, sleepy day in a drowsy village was well conveyed, with appropriate use of lighting techniques and a very good set with regard to stage properties.

Berry followed Fitchett with their presentation of " A i l the World's a Stage" written by Henry Wilson. Julianne Hill performed very well in spite of what was later found to be a broken rib. It was a remarkable feat on her part and shows devotion and House-spirit which I am sure is what the House system was intended to foster. The story of Berry's play was rather reminiscent of a very contemporary version of the New Testament. " M e n c i u s was a Bad Boy", by S. I. Hsiung, was Tiddeman's selection. It was the tale of a young Chinese boy, " M e n g Ko," who was obliged to study Confucius' writings.

Eventually his mother, " M a d a m e M e n g " managed to impress upon the miscreant son the folly of neglecting his studies. Dee Sutton played " M e n g K o " with imagination and vivacity, and Maria Lam was a sympathetic " M a d a m e M e n g " , while Chris Shaw as " G o l d " added a delightful touch of humour to the piece. Overall it was a sound performance and well within Tiddeman's grasp.

Nevile House presented the court scene from " T o a d of Toad Hall", by A. A. Milne. This incorporated the trial of Mr. Toad, the charge being the theft of a car, and the judge's aim to impose upon " T o a d " the heftiest sentence possible. Elizabeth Segal captured the mood of the judge in fine style, making good use of the rather ironical humour of the part.

The stage was wellbalanced and the atmosphere very effective. The play itself was a very thorough production and a credit to its producers and the House.

Cato's chosen play was an extract from the J. M. Barrie classic, "Peter Pan", featuring the nursery scene. The stage was well arrayed and used to good effect. The major actresses in this presentation were: Sue Gravenall as "Peter Pan"; Julie Cox as " W e n d y " and Liz Norris as " M r s . Darling". The lighting was used to good effect and on the whole this was a sound performance.

The final play was Krome's "What Men Live By", by Miles Malleson, from the translation of the story by Tolstoy. This was the story of an angel, Michael, who had been sent from heaven to earth to learn three things. It was set in a Russian peasant's home. Karen Houghton played " M i c h a e l " with great ingenuity as, until the last minutes of the play, when he spoke, " M i c h a e l " had to communicate to the audience by facial expression only. Also noteworthy were Monica Zepernick as the fat nobleman, and Ann Drillich as the peasant's wife. The interpretation of this difficult play was very good and the settings very realistic.

Cato House was awarded first place, Tiddeman second and Fitchett third, but I am sure all of the Houses appreciate the work of the Speech Staff and in particular Miss lllingworth. Congratulations, too, to those who took part, either in the winning Houses or those which didn't win, because you made all of this happen — a n d certainly, we all look forward to next year's Middle School Drama Festival.

SPORTS TEAMS Tennis The 1973 Tennis season proved to be highly successful for all teams involved. This was the result of the enthusiasm of girls and members of Staff. The Senior " A " team won seven of its eight matches, the " B " and under 15, five a piece. The under 13 team introduced this year, had an outstanding season, winning all four matches. The under 15 and under 13 teams were under the capable captaincy of Adrienne Dolphin and Vice-Captain Kim Trengove.

I would like to express thanks to Mrs. Maddison, Mrs. Black and Lynne Beynon, the senior vice-captain, for their support.

Good luck for 1974.

Baseball The School baseball teams have once again had a successful season, with two senior, two under 15 and one under 13, teams all doing well in their matches.

The Senior " A " team members were Carolyn Harrison, Sabrina Little, Cathie Welsford, Penny Shaw, Libby Kings, Janene Deason, Leigh Indian, Lindy Steggall and Wendy Opie, and the Senior " B " were Jan Hayes, Jan Scott, Sue Bull, Nerida Jungworth, Judy Horsbrough, Olga Lucas, Vicki Thatcher, Pam Robinson, Debbie Jane Cooper and Janine Brockhoff.

The " A ' s " won four out of their seven matches, defeating Morongo, Ivanhoe Grammar, M.C.E.G.G.S. and Hermitage and closely losing to St. Catherine's, Lauriston and P.L.C., while the " B ' s " won all but against P.L.C. Our thanks to Mrs. Dall for her coaching and support.

The Junior " A " team led by Sue Buchanan went undefeated for the whole season, while the " B " team won two, drew one and lost one and the Under 13 team also won all its matches. Mrs. Black and Mrs. Boardman have obviously done a good j o b in getting the teams up to standard and must also be thanked for their work.

A little more support from the rest of the school would have been appreciated, but despite this I think all the girls who participated thoroughly enjoyed the season and it is hoped the teams can do just as well, if not better, next year.

Swimming Again the Inter-House Swimming Sports proved to be a very enjoyable night, the teams being very close until the beginning of the relays. There were many spectators and it was encouraging to see the enthusiasm of some of the younger swimmers both at the training sessions and on the night of the sports. I hope that they will continue to give this support to their Houses as some of the closest races were seen amongst the younger age groups.

The Under 13 points cup went to Berry, the Under 15 cup to Fitchett and the Senior points cup to Cato. The final aggregate scores were: 1.

This year's Sports Day had a dual purpose. The first was the usual aim of creating the opportunity for the girls to express themselves through active participation in the sporting events.

The second purpose was to give the girls an opportunity to extend their best wishes to their much-loved Vice-Principal, Miss Barbara Sutton.

Many thanks were extended to Mrs. J. Lavender, wife of the President of the Methodist Conference, who presented the trophies to the winning Houses.

This year's trophies were won by: Under 13 Points Cup — Berry.

Under 15 Points Cup — Berry.

House Proficiency — Tiddeman.

Senior Points Cup — Cato.

Sports Day would not have been possible, of course, without the help of Miss Perkins and assisting members of Staff, who gave up much of their time to prepare for this annual event. The competitors and spectators were extremely grateful to these members of Staff and to the House leaders who were all involved in the preparation for this day.

Cato deserves to be congratulated on a fine performance, for a dramatic finish to the sports. It was a magnificent sight to see the hard struggle between the leading Houses which resulted in a close finish.

Well done Cato, it was a very good effort.

The Inter-School Sports, although supported by a much smaller crowd, were nevertheless very exciting for all spectators and competitors. The scores were very close, with the first and last teams being separated by a margin of only 40 points. It is unfortunate that there are no trophies awarded for particular age groups, as I am sure that M.L.C, would have had a great chance of winning some of the cups for the younger swimmers, who again contributed much to the success of the team. The aggregate scores were: 1. M.C.E.G.G.S 392 2. P.L.C 386 3. M.L.C 377 4. The Hermitage 364 5. Morongo 352 On behalf of all participants we would like to thank the members of the sports staff who helped in the organisation, especially to Miss Perkins for her help with the Inter-House Sports and Mrs. Armstrong for her assistance with the Inter-School team.

We hope that the enthusiasm of the Inter-House Swimming Sports continues, as this adds to the success of the evening. Perhaps in future years the school will see its way clear to holding the Inter-House Swimming Sports during the day to enable greater support by the students than is at present possible in the evening. Also, greater support of the Sports would greatly encourage the participants.

House Notes Berry Berry is o b v i o u s l y on its way to t h e t o p and s u r e l y this must be due to t h e g r e a t l y i n c r e a s e d n u m b e r of e n t h u s i a s t i c girls. It has been t r e m e n d o u s , a n d at t h e end of s e c o n d t e r m points s h o w e d that we w e r e s e c o n d . In all activities t h i s year, Berry m e m b e r s have been p r o m i n e n t in sport and e x t r e m e l y t a l e n t e d in fields such as d r a m a and c h o r a l s .

We began the year really well. Firstly, t h e r e w a s t h e baseball, w h i c h w a s ably led by Cathie W e l s f o r d in the s e n i o r s and J u l i a n n e Hill in the j u n i o r s . T h e t e n n i s also e x c e e d e d n o r m a l Berry standards and Chris. N o r r i s c a p t a i n e d the S e n i o r s and Helen Ridgeway the J u n i o r s . The next activity was the S w i m m i n g Sports, w h i c h was also a great s u c c e s s for Berry and t h a n k s g o to Megan Layton.

U n d o u b t e d l y the h i g h l i g h t of Berry in 1973 w a s t h e Aths. T h e r e was s h o w n an a m a z i n g amount of e n t h u s i a s m and e n j o y m e n t by everyone w h o was involved. T h r o u g h o u t the events Berry and Cato w e r e " n e c k - a n d - n e c k " , but Cato n a r r o w l y c a m e out on t o p by six m e a g r e points. However, it was an e x t r e m e l y e x c i t i n g day and t h a n k s go to all t h o s e w h o urged us to t h e front, but e s p e c i ally to A l i s o n Lee, w h o s e o r g a n i s a t i o n w a s fantastic, and to L i n d a Bonning for her h e l p also.

S p e c i a l t h a n k s must go t o A n g e l a King and G i l l Clarke for t h e i r c o n t i n u e d interest and ultimate s u c c e s s in the Berry senior play, " O u r T o w n " . The j u n i o r s were not q u i t e as s u c c e s s f u l , but many t h a n k s to Kim H a l l a m for her p r o d u c t i o n .

Serena Reed d e s e r v e s a lot of c r e d i t for her s u c c e s s f u l representation of Berry in the Oratory Contest and also Jeanette C a m e r o n , G i l l C l a r k e and Di Vale in the D e b a t i n g team.

A big " t h a n k y o u " to t h e c a p t a i n s of the s e c o n d t e r m s p o r t i n g activities, w h o m a i n t a i n e d the interest of the g i r l s and this was s h o w n by the v a r i o u s t e a m s ' s u c c e s s e s . T h e y w e r e : A l i s o n Lee and Cathie W e l s f o r d (Netball), Megan Layton (Table Tennis), V i c k y T h a t c h e r (Hockey), and in the J u n i o r s , Linda B o n n i n g (Netball), J u l i a n n e Hill (Hockey) and C h r i s Carlyle (Table Tennis).

Our c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s g o t o J u d y Lyall w h o had the w h o l e House e n t h u s i a s t i c about t h e i r items, e s p e c i a l l y in t h e " A s c o t G a v o t t e " and to S e r e n a Reed, Miffy Hughes, A n d r e e Hawkes, C a r o l Day and C a r o l C r o x f o r d .

I w o u l d e s p e c i a l l y like to thank Cathie W e l s f o r d for her c o n t i n u e d efforts and s u p p o r t she has given me and the House this year as V i c e - H o u s e Captain. We are also very g r a t e f u l to J u l i e Watt and Karen S c o t t , the J u n i o r House C a p t a i n and Vice, as their active p a r t i c i p a t i o n in the J u n i o r House has been invaluable this year. S p e c i a l t h a n k s to Mrs. Stout for her c o n t i n u e d s u p p o r t in e v e r y t h i n g Berry has d o n e t h i s year and to Mrs. Otzen w h o has also h e l p e d Berry greatly.

Finally, I w o u l d like to t h a n k Berry House as a w h o l e for a w o n d e r f u l year and for all t h e e n c o u r a g e m e n t y o u have given me as House Captain. It t a k e s the entire House to m a k e it a successful one and t h i s is surely what Berry has a c h i e v e d t h i s year.

Fitchett After b e i n g on t o p for the past t h r e e years Fitchett has s h o w n fine House s p i r i t by a l l o w i n g s o m e o t h e r Houses t o feel the " s w e e t taste of s u c c e s s " and we c o n g r a t u l a t e the House that eventually a c h i e v e s t h i s h i g h p o s i t i o n . Let's face t h e facts; in 1973 we w e r e not quite g o o d e n o u g h . However, we d i d keep t h e o t h e r Houses on their toes, as c a n be seen by our results d u r i n g t h e year — w i n n i n g t h e under 15 c u p in S w i m m i n g and c o m i n g s e c o n d in S w i m m i n g o v e r a l l ; c o m i n g a very close s e c o n d in t h e C h o r a l s and the Debating, also c o m i n g s e c o n d in the J u n i o r Drama.

"Why on earth did you put The pickles with the ice-cream?"

Sitting alone at a neighbouring picnic-table, I crane forward eagerly, Stealthily.

Why did he mix the pickles and the ice-cream?

I/I/as it because their colours went well together — Ice floating on fish-green water, or foam-flecked sea?

Is there some dish that he's fond of That has pickles and ice-cream mixed up in it — Swirled together like jade?

This is ridiculous — it was just The Common Boyish Prank to Annoy his Mother.

Look — he does have a solemn reason.

He opens his mouth to speak, To tell . . .

But his mother asks him once too often; Now the answer has gone out of his mouth, Has disappeared for ever.

She will never know now; It doesn't really matter, Because she is content to be angry — But I wanted to know: I'm certain that Behind his closed mouth Lies a wonderful reason . . .

Emeralds and pearls glitter in my mind . . .

They've changed the subject at their picnic-table now And the boy is eating with the mouth That could have told A marvellous secret.

Quickly she makes her way past the miscellaneous feet and sits w h e r e she can look out of two windows.

S h e glances at the time on the tram clock outside, swings her bag expertly under the seat, crosses her legs in front of it, and waits. Up till now, her movements have had a flowing and connected grace. Now she is sitting, one can see that she is breathing heavily and her cheeks have two red patches on them. S h e has been running. She glances impatiently at the clock once more and then concentrates on letting the expression drain slowly out of her face. A small child with fair hair follows her inside and sits opposite her.

S h e is also out of breath. T h e two have a c o m m o n bond. They smile at e a c h other quickly, and her face flickers with life for a moment, before it turns to wood completely.

T h e tram begins to move. She has recovered her self-sufficiency and dignity now; and so she does not look at the clock again. But she is relieved: her shoulders relax a little and she leans back to enjoy the rocking motion of the tram. Her expression has b e c o m e completely bland. S h e stares at the other people in the tram, and bears their stares calmly. This cultivation of a mask is a technique which she has not yet perfected — a fixed stare deepens the patches on her cheeks — but she is learning, and the little girl with the fair hair is learning too. T h e conductor appears, and she makes another fluid movement: the concession ticket comes out of her pocket and is presented for a few seconds like a modest gift before it slides back again. S h e has not ceased looking out of the window.

As the tram approaches her stop, she gets up and swings the bag neatly on her shoulder. She pulls the cord — the only jerky movement she has m a d e so far — grips the bar again and steps on to the footboard. Then she half-falls, half-steps off the tram and disappears.

She got off the train carefully, placing the high heels of her shoes neatly on the platform so that she would not slip. T h e station was iced over again. She remembered the girl with the elegant hair-do and the long slim legs. S h e had walked down the ramp too carelessly. Suddenly neat slim legs and pretty skirt had folded up and there she had been, wet and silly on the ground.

It wcuid be the nice station boy on the gate. She stood waiting to go through, her fingers turning her silver ring. T h e man with the briefcase let her go first.

She smiled at the station boy, her best smile. Good morning he said and she smiled again. He was such a simple and direct boy. Sometimes she envied him his peaceful regular life. The sun was sharp and bright outside. S h e liked the noise of her new heels sounding regularly on the pavement and felt her body move as she walked, pulled to one side by the bag of books.

She walked up the ramp to the station. Her footsteps w e r e perfectly placed and there was an easy brittle grace in the way she held her bag. T h e r e was probably a train coming and it would be an Eltham one. After that only a Macleod. It would be half an hour before the next one. She ought to break into a run, clatter up. T h e nice station boy would let her through and there was still time.

She missed the train. She chose a seat near the waiting room not too near the old Italians, stinking after their day's work but not too close to the toilets.

She took out a book with the tips of her fingers.

Leavis. She flipped the pages, watching the glint of her red nail polish. T h e r e was the article she wanted.

T h e nice station boy pulled down the sign. Yes — a Macleod. Useless. She crossed her legs, one lightly on top of the other and looked up. T h e r e was the station boy.

"Hi beautiful! W h a t ' r e you doing tonight?" He was talking to her. Her fingers trembled. She lost her place.

She could feel herself turning red. He thought she was a factory girl.

Flight Oh! boundless Freedom, I fly in your tangled hair of endless smiling blue, Floating in drunk happiness tumbling in wind-trodden rooms of sun-silvered, and see grass sinking, rising, curving contours rolling, revolving around me, dizzy, twirling sky-hills, spinning.

Exhilaration soaks me in fire-water's stealing warmth, enfolds me as earth-bonds, torn, had held ensnared, en-netted me.

Now I tangle webs of wind And ravel sunlight round my joy.

Climb up corridors of bubble cloud higher, swiftly, and see the sea a hundred miles away.

I sweep the sky with cloud-brushed And tumble-weave my laughter in blue curves of yellow days and gold touches wonder.

I swing a dance, delirious dream,

cloud,

wings

in feather lightness like a timeless song enveloped in beautiful rhythm of paradise spheres, steeped in a vision of cloud-moulded earth-sky.

And

like a scroll the earth unrolls beneath me, Limitless wonder-happy contentment floods me, overflows And I fling my bliss-entangled soul to your wind that embraces me.

Watching the sea-weed, Wash up on to the shore, and slowly but surely, . . . Turn brown, then die.

And the rocks wearing away Getting smaller, as the waves, hit and break on them, . . . The night grows darker, And the sky and sea become one, The sea turns an oily black. . . . I leave the shore, And the boom of the waves grows softer.

I didn't write one.

I didn't go away on a trip, either overseas or otherwise. I stayed home, my mind fermenting with elaborate plans to be unfulfilled. I was successful; I did not do one thing which I planned to do.

S o m e people might call this a pointless aim: not to do anything — I agree. It is pointless to argue that attempts to achieve nothing have a point.

But there w e have it in a nutshell. T h e point of achieving nothing is that it does not have a point, reason or motivation. My motivation to achieve nothing was to prove the pointlessness of my doing so, in order to show that I had a point in not having a point.

I have proved my point, that by not having a point I have a point because I do not have a point.

After teaching for two years, he returned to Melbourne to become a partner in a grocery b u s i n e s s with Mr. T . E . Moran.

He also introduced the "headm a s t e r ' s l e s s o n " which took place once a week in the form of a general knowledge quiz and attendance was compulsory for the whole school.

Nevile House Nevile House was named after Mr. R. W.

Fitchett House Doctor W. H. Fitchett came from England to settle with h i s family in Geelong. After the death of h i s father he worked in a nearby quarry, studying Latin while he worked. After some time he went to Queensland where he became a jackaroo.

Eventually he joined the Methodist m i n i s t r y . He studied at the university for h i s doctorate. He wrote many books and became noted for h i s s t u d i e s of the r i s e and fall of e m p i r e s — S i r W i n s t o n Churchill, then M i n i s t e r for the Navy, ordered that Dr. Fitchett's study of the R i s e of the B r i t i s h E m p i r e — " D e e d s that Won the E m p i r e " , be placed in the l i b r a r i e s of all B r i t i s h naval v e s s e l s .

Around 1877 he realised the need for a g i r l s ' college and commenced planning to t h i s end. T h r e e acres of land were purchased at the present site in Hawthorn. T h e college was founded in 1882, and Dr. Fitchett became the f i r s t Principal and remained in that office until h i s death in 1928,
