This year "Silver and Green" met with competition "Ludus" appeared on the market! With relief, we note that "Silver and Green" beats the newspaper in the price war. But with terror, we saw "Ludus" invade our territories of letters to the Editor, photography, humour, and even encroach on the sacred domain of the magazine, poetry
The arrival of "Ludus" has meant that the role of "Silver and Green" has had to be redefined There are differences between the audiences of newspaper and the magazine: where the newspaper is intended for the school, the magazine is also read by those outside the school This means that there are different expectations of the two "Silver and Green" 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, we have decided not to include a Letters to the Editor section We have printed no essays School jokes have not been included either, because the newspaper seemed 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, we have included some Nonsense
Perhaps an even more difficult question arose when we tried to work out what we were doing in the Creative Section Should we include the "best" work submitted or should we try to print as much as possible? We could not find an answer to this question On the one hand, it seemed important to produce what we thought was a "good" selection: on the other, we felt we ought to be encouraging as many people as possible to write We ended up sitting squarely on the fence (and that is an uncomfortable and precarious position!) not really happy with what we were doing and unable to reconcile the two roles.
We are worried that many people will feel disappointed because their poems were not chosen It must seem to them that their efforts were wasted But we would like to say how much we enjoyed reading all the entries, and how sorry we are that our selection has had to be so arbitrary and narrow
LYNDAL ROPER, H.VI.E.
from the principal...
During the year we 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 Term I to become Headmistress of Camberwell Church of England Girls' Grammar School. We 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.
The 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 She has been Senior Biology Teacher for many years and at present she is Senior Mistress at Form VI level Miss Jackson brings professional competence and devotion to the ideals of M.L.C. to her task and we are sure that she will make a distinctive contribution to the life and work of our College.
At the end of Term 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 We wish this M.L.C family every success during their time overseas and we are glad to hear that their eldest daughter, Jocelyn, will join them at the end of the year
Rev. Justin Gooderham, B.A., Dip.Ed., has commenced duties as Acting Chaplain. Mr. Gooderham comes to us after missionary service in Tonga and teaching in Melbourne High Schools. We welcome him to the important responsibility he has in our College

VICE-PRINCIPALS
Past-
Miss Barbara Sutton, b.a (Hons.) Dip eo „
The position of Vice-Principal must be a very hard one. The person who holds that sort of authority can very easily become 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 seemed to happen to her She 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
We 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 welcomes 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. The 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. The 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 She was mild, too, to those who disobeyed school rules. As one firstformer put it: "She didn't tick you off" She had the ability to make people feel they were important to her.
We all wish her well in her new appointment, and miss her very much-

Miss Valerie Kerr, b.a „ Dip Ph ys Ed
Thank You, Miss Kerr
During her long association with the school, Miss Kerr has been a student as well as a member of Staff and after Miss Sutton's appointment as Principal of Church of England Girls' Grammar 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 same time she has continued her unobtrusive yet active support of all school activities such as the music festival, drama and sport.
These 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
We 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.

Future-
Miss 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!
We all hope she enjoys her new appointment
LYNDAL ROPER
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 "stir" 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 joined 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 "Ludus", the school as a whole must approach its situation with an ability to react in a constructive and positive manner

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 SERENA REED

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES 73
Chess 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 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
United Nations Club
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
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 will 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 it!
KERRIE FIELD
ALISON PUGSLEY
History and Literature Club
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, "calorific" for the weight
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 "Old Times," "Prisoner of Second Avenue", "Mother Courage", "Batman's Beachhead" Future piays will include "All My Sons" by Miller and "Long Day's Journey into Night" 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", "Two Gentlemen of Verona" and the fabulous "Leningrad Kirov Ballet Company" dancing 'The Gala Divertissement", "Giselle" and "Swan Lake"
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 "Dim Sim" 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 !

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 "Parable" 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,
Debating
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
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, who won the Oratory by giving a very humorous and stimulating speech on "A Critical Look at Modern Advertising"

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
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
The Guides would like to thank Miss Lambe for her guidance, care and enthusiasm

The New Resource Centre
The opening of the new Walton Library the M.L.C Resource Centre, will climax a series of events which have progressed steadily since preliminary planning commenced in 1968 A new Library was a vital component in a ten-year plan for the development of the School and the expansion of its facilities It was clear to the Principal and Staff that the relatively limited space available did not permit us to provide as full a library service as we wished; a service which would provide a wider and deeper approach to learning in harmony with changing and developing ideas in education
Our concern was to provide a much greater variety of materials in suitable quantities with facilities for a range of activities involving use of these materials in large class work, small group discussion and individual study
It seems impossible to predict the patterns and trends that will emerge in education with the life of a school building; new concepts are forming rapidly; some will be of lasting value, some impractical We therefore felt that adaptability and flexibility were our basic building requirements
The design of the Library will allow us to adapt it to changing needs with a minimum of expense and inconvenience Our new Library building should serve us well
Our present floor plan permits us to provide library services for 367 girls working in small or large groups, or engaged in individual work However a Library is far more than a building It is a collection of multi-media materials to be used in interesting and exciting ways to be discovered by students and Staff alike, as innovating practices increasingly supplement traditional classroom methods
The organisation of the resource centre will create opportunities for self-directed learning within and beyond the curricular framework and will cater for individual differences in learning approaches and ability It must be a centre for materials, equipment, information and service to students and Staff We hope that it will also provide inspiration
The Walton Library
During the year the Library Committee has worked happily and enthusiastically together despite the difficulties which have arisen through lack of space Fiction books have been steadily borrowed this year, and girls have enjoyed reading a number of new books
Our work would be easier and more pleasant if Hon VI girls would take an honourable, methodical and responsible approach in their use of non-fiction
We would like to thank all people who have made donations of books and money for the new library, particularly the Old Collegians' Club for donating "The Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible" This four-volume set is an asset to the library and invaluable to those girls who take Biblical Studies
We would also like to thank the committee for their loyal cooperation Without them, fiction borrowing would be almost impossible
We hope to have a farewell party in the old premises and look forward to our Christmas party in the new building

S.R.C.
Firstly I would like to thank our president Barb Fih who has done such a tremendous job Our secretary and minute secretary, Vicky Whitelaw and Anne Stoneman, are also to be commended on their handling of the paper work
The year opened optimistically, the enthusiasm being mustered by the thought "there's a lot to be done and we now have the power to do it" However, we soon found, much to our frustration, that our effective power was very limited This was not helped by the lack of enthusiasm and willingness to carry something right through to the end, exhibited by the majority of the student body The apathy that tended to exist was well brought out by "the student newspaper episode" One result of last year's S.R.C was the permission to go ahead with a student newspaper It was welcomed with great enthusiasm, but the "students" newspaper gradually degenerated into a "matric" newspaper, monopolised by the few that were willing to put in a fair bit of extra time and effort Reasons for this were various unfortunate circumstances but a large amount of apathy Eventually "Ludus" emerged as a small "What 10c?" newspaper which was not very well received by M.L.C.'s population This was, of course, much to the disappointment of those who were being criticized with such statements as "You should have done " "What happened to the .? "Maybe we should have ."?
All we have accomplished this year as the Students' Representative Council, is the first edition of "Ludus and various pieces of paper—somewhere, containing the motions that have been passed Thanks to Mr Turner, we now have hot water in Wood Wing, which came about as a result of a mention in a discussion connected to S.R.C., but it was not a motion itself Despite the deficiencies of our effectiveness this year, I am trusting that next year a few more girls will take a real interest in its functioning because the truth of the age-old saying "you will only get out of something as much as you put in" still holds S.R.C is for your benefit ani with more experience and co-operation behind it, it could well be a council more like the one we envisaged at the start of the year—effective and efficient

H.S.C Dinner Dance
On Thursday, August 23 a most memorable evening was spent at the Kew Civic Centre Due to brilliant (!) administration by the committee, the groups turned up, the decorations didn't fall down, the lighting lit and even the photos clicked !! Madder Lake had everyone up on the dance floor (some more than othersf) and despite several sore feet after the barn dance it was a majority vote that Mr Bradshaw deserved the first prize for his efforts The food was another wonderful success but only due to Lee Brazel's undying encouragement !! I'm sure all the girls were pleased to see so many Staff there really letting themselves go and it was a great opportunity to get to know them so much better The Dinner Dance really turned out to be everything hoped for (despite money shortage and tribunal grumps) and Barb and I would really like to thank the committee for all their work Here's hoping that next year's function is as much fun as ours was

Impressions of M.L.C.
I am a Rotary Exchange Student from Tokyo, Japan, and am enjoying my stay at M.L.C very much When I first came to M.L.C everything seemed very different from a Japanese school However, later on I came to realize that it was not so very different in most points after all
My school in Japan was also a private girls' school, so it is natural that it should be similar to M.L.C in many ways As I am not familiar with many schools in Australia I cannot help but compare M.L.C with my own school
One difference I have found is that M.L.C girls are very casual, friendly to each other and less shy than girls in Japan M.L.C girls seem to be more at ease than Japanese schoolgirls I think this is probably because in Japan we have strict rules which we must follow For example, we are not allowed to sit on desks or on the floor, but only on a chair; also we must not eat lollies at school except on special occasions
One thing I have found very interesting is that schoolgirls in both Australia and Japan complain about the uniform rules!
I think it is a very good idea to have special times set aside for Liberal Studies and Religious Education, which we only have once a week or once every two weeks in Japan
I think M.L.C is a nice place, but it is such a pity that it is spoilt by the rubbish that is left everywhere
I wish to say thank you to all the teachers and friends who have been so kind and friendly to me I am sure that I shall not forget my year at M.L.C RUMIKO SUMIYA, H VI H

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 twenty-five Asian students at M.L.C
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 mind"? 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

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

WENDY YAP
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 "Dad" 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 "Bonnie 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 "off campus" 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?

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

SOUTH-EAST ASIAN TOUR
1973 was the first year that M.L.C has sent a tour party to South-East Asia and for the benefit of'future 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 group 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 "Sea 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 Palace, 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 whom 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 "Winter-Duo" 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 "Winter-Duo" 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 woodwind "choirs" 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
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
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
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
Second Term saw a very full musical programme, highlighted by the "Winter—Duo" 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 "Gloria" by Vivaldi — a glorious small cantata that the school has never done previously A second "novelty" 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 "If I were a Rich Man" from "Fiddler 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
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 judged 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
M.L.C is rapidly becoming a "musical show piece" 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
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 "Love Song Waltzes" and the string quartet, combined with excerpts from the Vivaldi-Gloria, was most successfully performed
Another musical highlight that will have been performed before the appearance of this article, is the Middle School "Musicale", a most interesting collection of musical gems taken from "The Mikado", 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 "musicale" 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
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

SILVER AND GREEN,
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 "The Lark" 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 Town" 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 "umbrella" 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 "Macbeth", 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 workshop" 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 word 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 "Communications" 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 judge 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!
MEREDITH MAGUIRE, S.V.C
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, who 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 "Ail 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
"Mencius was a Bad Boy", by S I Hsiung, was Tiddeman's selection It was the tale of a young Chinese boy, "Meng Ko," who was obliged to study Confucius' writings Eventually his mother, "Madame Meng" managed to impress upon the miscreant son the folly of neglecting his studies Dee Sutton played "Meng Ko" with imagination and vivacity, and Maria Lam was a sympathetic "Madame Meng", while Chris Shaw as "Gold" 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 "Toad 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 "Toad" 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 "Wendy" and Liz Norris as "Mrs 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 "Michael" with great ingenuity as, until the last minutes of the play, when he spoke, "Michael" 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 —and 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
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 job 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
Both the Under 15 and Senior hockey teams enjoyed the games played this season and were disappointed when several matches were cancelled because ot bad weather
Despite the loss of a few matches the team spirit was good and enthusiasm remained high throughout the season It was unfortunate that we were not backed up by much school support as there seemed to be a general lack of interest in our teams' activities
The Senior team finished the season with a match against Wesley which, though not played exactly to the rules, was enjoyed by all
Our sincere thanks go to Mrs Dall for all her coaching and encouragement
Members of the Senior "A" team were: Jan Hiscox, Carolyn Harrison, Lindy Rashleigh, Beth Pearce, Jenny Dowling, Janet Torode, Jenny Dunn, Penny Winnett, Wendy Opie, Leigh Indian and Vicki Thatcher
The Senior "B" team: Judy Horsburgh (captain) Shelley Hamilton Dianne Ferguson Kate Robertson Olga Lucas Sally McLean Gaynor Martin Elissa Michael, Pam Ridgwell, Janet Skene, Debbie-Jane Cooper, Valmai Hunter, Sabrina Little

The netball season this year was extremely successful in all sections of the school However the "Seniors" began a little doubtfully with only one team but fortunately this made no difference to the success of the team, as only one very hard match was lost against M.C.E.G.G.S Members of this team were: Jan Scott, Libby Kings, Gail Bates, Denise Hendrie, Helen Manuell, Pam Robinson and Deb Trengove
The Under 15 "A" team, captained by Sue Buchanan, was brilliantly undefeated, and the Under 15 "B" team only lost three matches against Ivanhoe G.G.S., P.L.C and Korowa Members of the "A's" were: Bronwyn Hewitt, Ann Manuell, Deirdre Collings, Sue Buchanan, Andrea Currie, Helen Ridgeway, and Jenny Best Members of the "B's" were: Michelle May (captain), Anne Chamberlain, Heather Tweedie, Gina Kentish, Tania Robben, Jenny Lee and Celeste Billinge There was a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction gained by all members of the netball teams this season
This year, owing to the new netball courts, the- Under 13's were able to participate in inter-school netball again As a result there were three very successful teams who only lost two matches
It is hoped that the present enthusiasm of the Juniors will be continued into the future so that the Seniors may have more than one successful team to represent M.L.C
Sincere thanks and appreciation must go to Miss Perkins and Mrs Maddison for their support of the senior teams and Mrs Armstrong and Mrs Boardman for their support of the junior teams
Good luck to all future netball teams LIBBY KINGS, Captain

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:
Sports Day
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
Bettye Hammon Aggregate Points Cup Cato
The final result of the aggregate points:
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 SUE BARNARD-BROWN
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:
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 obviously on its way to the top and surely this must be due to the greatly increased number of enthusiastic girls It has been tremendous, and at the end of second term points showed that we were second In all activities this year, Berry members have been prominent in sport and extremely talented in fields such as drama and chorals
We began the year really well Firstly, there was the baseball, which was ably led by Cathie Welsford in the seniors and Julianne Hill in the juniors The tennis also exceeded normal Berry standards and Chris Norris captained the Seniors and Helen Ridgeway the Juniors The next activity was the Swimming Sports which was also a great success for Berry and thanks go to Megan Layton
Undoubtedly the highlight of Berry in 1973 was the Aths There was shown an amazing amount of enthusiasm and enjoyment by everyone who was involved Throughout the events Berry and Cato were "neck-and-neck", but Cato narrowly came out on top by six meagre points However, it was an extremely exciting day and thanks go to all those who urged us to the front, but especially to Alison Lee, whose organisation was fantastic, and to Linda Bonning for her help also
Special thanks must go to Angela King and Gill Clarke for their continued interest and ultimate success in the Berry senior play, "Our Town" The juniors were not quite as successful, but many thanks to Kim Hallam for her production
Serena Reed deserves a lot of credit for her successful representation of Berry in the Oratory Contest and also Jeanette Cameron, Gill Clarke and Di Vale in the Debating team
A big "thank you" to the captains of the second term sporting activities, who maintained the interest of the girls and this was shown by the various teams' successes They were: Alison Lee and Cathie Welsford (Netball), Megan Layton (Table Tennis), Vicky Thatcher (Hockey), and in the Juniors, Linda Bonning (Netball), Julianne Hill (Hockey) and Chris Carlyle (Table Tennis)
The last activity of second term was the Senior House Choral Contest in which Berry sang superbly Our congratulations go to Judy Lyall who had the whole House enthusiastic about their items, especially in the "Ascot Gavotte" and to Serena Reed, Miffy Hughes, Andree Hawkes, Carol Day and Carol Croxford
I would especially like to thank Cathie Welsford for her continued efforts and support she has given me and the House this year as Vice-House Captain We are also very grateful to Julie Watt and Karen Scott, the Junior House Captain and Vice, as their active participation in the Junior House has been invaluable this year Special thanks to Mrs Stout for her continued support in everything Berry has done this year and to Mrs Otzen who has also helped Berry greatly
Finally, I would like to thank Berry House as a whole for a wonderful year and for all the encouragement you have given me as House Captain It takes the entire House to make it a successful one and this is surely what Berry has achieved this year
Sincere good luck for the future and keep up the House spirit, it's a really great thing to see I

In reviewing 1973 it is pleasing to be able to say that Cato has enjoyed a successful year This success can be completely attributed to the determination and enthusiasm that has been the existing driving force within the House, which has resulted in Cato's winning the aggregate points for both first and second terms We started the year with a very inspiring and enthusiastic win at the Swimming Sports This early success was a result of the very hard work of the swimming captain, Jan Skene and the members of our teams who deserve our thanks
Fine leadership and team work was also displayed in the Baseball (Capt Janene Deason) and in the Tennis (Capt Sue Walker) These two teams completed successful seasons and the House extends its gratitude to all who participated
In the Inter-House Drama Festival Cato was ably led by Lyndal Roper whose guidance and experience made the performance a significant part of a wonderful evening
Sports Day proved to be one of the most enjoyable events of the year Our win at the sports was mainly due to the devoted time and energy given by Jennifer Barnard-Brown, and Pam Robinson The House extends its thanks to the competitors also Cato's enthusiasm continued into second term, when we were again able to display our athletic ability under the helpful leadership of Pam Ridgewell (Capt Hockey), Lindy Steggall (Capt Netball) and Zanie Oon (Capt Table Tennis)
In the field of music Marion Earle and Kathy De Garis our music captains, were able to lead us to the victorious prize of the Proficiency Cup Thanks to all of Cato, even though I don't honestly know how you did it!
We extend our sincere thanks and congratulations to the victorious debating team (Capt Sue Douglas) and to Kathy De Garis our orator All the girls involved performed magnificently
Cato has presented itself as a spirited House and it is hoped it will continue to be so in the third term when the House is competing in the cricket (Capt Lisa Zainu'ddin), squash (Capt Nerida Jungwirth) and netball (Capt Leanne Smith) We wish these teams all the best
Our overwhelming success this year cannot only be accredited to the efforts of the senior teams but also to our junior teams Gaynor Wood the Junior House Captain has ardently guided the captains and teams throughout the year We thank Gaynor and the team captains for their continual encouragement and support
This year would not have been possible without the continued support from Miss Rudin and Miss R Lewis, the House Mistresses, the Staff and my fellow-matrics, particularly Lindy Steggall, who has been an invaluable Vice-House Captain
I would personally like to say that I have had a most enjoyable year and it has been an honour to have had the opportunity to lead the House Cato has proved itself to be a successful and united House and there are no doubts that this will continue To all of Cato I extend the best wishes for the future and thank you for a wonderful year

Fitchett
After being on top for the past three years Fitchett has shown fine House spirit by allowing some other Houses to feel the "sweet taste of success" and we congratulate the House that eventually achieves this high position Let's face the facts; in 1973 we were not quite good enough However we did keep the other Houses on their toes, as can be seen by our results during the year — winning the under 15 cup in Swimming and coming second in Swimming overall; coming a very close second in the Chorals and the Debating, also coming second in the Junior Drama We have also been keen competitors in other House activities Let this be a fair warning that in 1974 Fitchett will once again be hard to beat
The success we have achieved has been the result of a lot of hard work by many people, particularly the captains of each activity, who were: Deb Trengove (Swimming and Netball), Judy Paltridge (Tennis), Kaatje Hirth (Drama), Carolyn Harrison (Baseball), Jan Martin (Athletics), Liz Stenning (Music), Leigh Indian (Hockey), Wendy Toop (Table Tennis and Squash), Lyn Dennerstein (Debating), Jenny Thwaites (Oratory), Cathy Piggott (Cricket) and Sheridan Naylor (Volley Ball)
The Junior House has also contributed greatly to Fitchett's success this year and many thanks are due to Salli Engelander (Junior House Captain) and Janet Anderson (Acting Junior House Captain), for their enthusiasm and help in the House The other Junior Captains, namely:—Janette Robertson (Tennis and Table Tennis), Belinda Lim (Drama and Joint Music), Anne Manuell (Baseball), Kim Trengove (Swimming), Leanne Hopgood (Joint Music), Belinda Winnett (Joint Athletics and Hockey), Jenny Godwin (Joint Athletics) and Devon Bayly (Netball) have also supported the House very well
One of the highlights of the year for Fitchett was their performance in both Senior and Junior Chorals The Seniors won the Special Item — under the leadership of Alison Pooley and also the House Choir item and only lost the total aggregate cup by the closest of margins—one point
The Juniors also won their Special Item, under the leadership of Sue Chapman Special thanks to Liz Stenning for the tremendous support she has given me through the year, both as ViceHouse Captain and Music Captain We have also had the backing of Mrs In't Veld, who has been a great help; the House will notice her absence in the coming year and we wish her all the best for the future We were also grateful for the wonderful support given by Miss Kirby with the juniors Along with Mrs In't Veld and Miss Kirby, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the other members of Staff for their ever-ready help and advice
Last, but not least, I personally say thank you to ALL the girls in Fitchett whether they be competitors or supporters for the way in which they have supported me and the House throughout the year in all its various activities I know the same support will be given to ihe new House Captain next year Thank you all Fitchett-ites for a wonderful and memorable year

Krome
Again Krome has shown rousing spirit and co-operation right through the forms Enthusiasm has been evident in all activities
The outstanding successes have been the winning of both Senior and Junior Choral Contests, and Krome is grateful to Chris Stevenson's talented leadership with much help from Anne Roebuck, Carolyn Masel and Alison Massey, and Fiona Harvey for her time and efforts with the Juniors There were also many others who were partly responsible for the results The senior massed singing showed a marvellous response from the girls, with smaller groups providing varying and thoroughly enjoyable items
The Juniors can be applauded for their victorious efforts in baseball and tennis In these activities they outranked the seniors but I think the latter will agree that, despite some results, there was immense fun for all who participated Hockey, Table Tennis and Netball had their wins and losses, but again there was great enjoyment to be shared
We are waiting for third term matches to be played, yet even after one match there are promising signs
Thank you to the swimmers for their fine efforts and to Jane Gronow, who, despite a previous illness, had things running smoothly on the night It would have been far better if more girls could have shown their faces, especially Seniors, and I am sure the swimmers appreciated the noisy backing of those present "Macbeth," despite its literary difficulties, was performed extremely well and our thanks are directed to Anna Lewit, who was ably helped by Carolyn Masel and Jenny Loft and also by her keen family It was awarded a fine third placing and one adjudicator also congratulated Anna with some laudable comments Karen Houghton I know spent many hours directing the junior play "Michael" Thanks Anna and Karen
We came third in the athletics also, with Deb Tournay in able control and Lisa Green helping where needed Participation was good and Krome spirit prevailed prior to and on the day There is a lot to be said for both the competitors and supporters
Jane Gronow, Jean Pollock and Lyn Buckingham put forward a worthy case in the debate against Tiddeman and are to be congratulated Again thanks to Lyn for her informative oratory on "Decentralisation", which fully deserved third placing
Mrs Carlos, Jenny Green and myself are very pleased with the efforts produced and there are many signs of Krome coming on strongly next year—I am sure they will !

Nevile
Nevile's sporting activities this year have not been uniformly crowned with spectacular success in spite of the dedication and enthusiasm of a relatively small group of loyal supporters What success we have had is largely oue to the efforts of a few led by Janet Shaw (Swimming), Judy Horsburgh (Aths and Baseball), Rhonda McKenzie and Fiona Rogers (Aths.), Tina Sheldon (Tennis), Helen Mogg (Netball), Janice Hiscox (Hockey)
Fortunately we were more successful in other spheres and an outstanding play was presented under the leadership of Pam Williams and Jan Twomey The Lark won us the Senior Drama Festival and a repeat performance was given before an overseas visitor Congratulations to all who participated Karen Judd was our representative in the Oratory contest and also most ably led the debating team Kate Neales (Senior Music Captain) did a very fine job of co-ordinating the leaders of the various groups taking part in the Senior Choral Contest
Last year our cricket team was highly successful and this term Cricket (Claire Gans and Kate Neales, captains), Volleyball (Fiona Rogers, Captain) and Squash (Chris Morris, Captain) look like repeating this effort with their enthusiastic teams
Junior House Captain, Jane Hopkins, and Vice-Captain, Jan Hales, have admirably led a lively group of juniors whose involvement in a variety of House activities should ensure Nevile successes in years to come
In August Gill Briant, our Vice-Captain, left for a year's stay in the U.S.A as an A.F.S student I greatly appreciate the support which Gill offered me during her term of office and we all wish her a very enjoyable year
Thanks to Mrs Ashton and Mrs McNeary for their support and encouragement
Finally, as I conclude a most rewarding year as House Captain, may I wish all the girls of Nevile best wishes for the future I hope that you will all discover the enjoyment to be gained from wholeheartedly joining in House activities

Tiddeman
The year 1973 has been a most memorable and successful one for many in Tiddeman
The Swimming Sports, led by Megan Crocker and Keryn Reed, were supported well and we gained many places, records and sore throats The good results put plenty of spirit into our hearts which has remained throughout this year
Lesley Mills and Deidre Sutton, Beth Pearce and Wendy Ewert encouraged our girls to work as a team in Baseball and Tennis respectively We thank these girls for their time and encouragement
Philippa Vernon and Gina Kentish also helped to make the Ath Sports one of the best Tiddeman has had for many years This was one of the highlights of this year as we were actually winning — even if it was only by one point
Our Senior and Junior plays were both excellent performances this year The Juniors', produced by Kathryn Vernon, succeeded in gaining 2nd place, and the Seniors, directed by Kathryn Smart, were less successful but made a worthy effort
In second term Marilyn Hawkins and Sue Nalder trained our basketballers; Beth Pearce and Beverley Alexander our hockey players, and the Table Tennis, in which we gained the biggest success was organised by Jenny Roe and Wendy Ewert
The Choral Captains, Julie Collins and Glenda Croft and Junior, Pam Cohn, all worked extremely hard and were rewarded with our doing well in all sections The Juniors were again our better half and managed to come second, only losing by a few points
We look forward to equally good results if not better for our cricket — Captain Lesley Mills, Volleyball—Kath Smart and Sue Nalder and Squash—Jenny Roe
I would like to thank all the girls who have been in teams (or cheering for them) You have been a fair and meritorious group on the whole and our results have been extremely pleasing considering our lack of numbers on some occasions

Boarders' Notes
The boarders have been a closely knit group again this year We are under the leadership of the Lady Superintendent, Miss Lancaster, four Senior mistresses and four Junior mistresses, as well as the two Sisters, all of whom we thank for their care and attention given at all times
This year we have had many invitations to other schools for various types of socials, afternoon sports, and even a chapel service We have also given hospitality to other schools by inviting them to participate in various functions Our film committee also arranged for several films to be screened for week-end activity
The Boarders' Dance followed tradition in being kept a secret by the committee until the big night They worked very hard and I know that all who were present really appreciated their part in making the evening such a success
It seemed no time at all before we were into Second Term and organising Birthday Night, which proved to be most enjoyable for all those involved We thank our chefs and Nation-wide Staff for providing us with a stupendous meal and supper We hope all our guests enjoyed our concert and experienced the pleasure which we put into its making
The Chapel Choir is now under new leadership and we hope that the choir will now work hard and continue more strongly under the leadership of Miss Kirsty Chapman as conductress and Mr David Agg as organist We thank them both most sincerely for their assistance throughout the year
This year noted several changes in both Staff and surroundings We were all quick to notice the new red phone which is used extensively The Seniors were also pleased to hear of extra late leaves (nights out for personal social functions) each term
Early in Term III our annual picnic was held at Arthur's Seat
We set off at 9.30 a.m and after a short break at Hastings we reached our destination in time for a barbecue lunch Later we made our way down the mountain to relax on the beach during the afternoon We returned to the college for tea after a most enjoyable day
I would like to add a big thank you to all the prefects especially Meg Crocker for all the co-operation and encouragement they have given me Last, but not least, as they are the majority, a thank you to the Boarders of 1973 for the many memories they have created for me

I looked up from my book and there was me a year ago in the yellow bus head in my book, waiting with all my anger at the white railway gates that stopped me from going on. I wonder what she would have thought If one day she had looked up from her book and seen it was me all the time in the train that was stopping the bus.

I open tired eyes to see wide blue singing sky, summoning, So I go walking to listen to the song of passing life. I see jonquils "degged with dew" in the morning rust; Early bees plunged deep into voluptuous violets; Candid sun-filled clouds and translucent morning colours. I come inside
Have some fruit salad and coffee, And begin to sing myself the song of passing life.

"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.

Schoolgirl
She grips the worn metal bar, puts her left foot on the footboard and swings herself easily into the tram Quickly she makes her way past the miscellaneous feet and sits where she can look out of two windows. She 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 She 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 She is also out of breath. The two have a common bond They smile at each other quickly, and her face flickers with life for a moment, before it turns to wood completely.
The 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 become completely bland She 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 The 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 She 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 made so far — grips the bar again and steps on to the footboard Then she half-falls, half-steps off the tram and disappears

/ was sitting; the wind
Blowing my hair from my face. I was humming a gentle tune, But the breeze whistling Through the dry salt bushes Drowned out my Husky voice.
Below my throne, Which was a sand dune, The frothy curls of water were sweeping the sandy Beach.
It was winter, The beach was deserted, And I was in a dream. Who was there to ask me to stop gazing into the emptiness of the never ending sea?
But then, from the Rocks at the end of the beach, You appeared, You strolled with Definite music in your Body movements
My eyes followed your Free happiness while You stepped lightly through The waves as they lapped Around your slim calves. No longer did I want to be Alone
I wanted to be by Your side as you danced Through the fine spray, I rose, and without Brushing the grains of sand from my face or clothes
I half ran down the Steep slope of my throne. You stopped, and Looked up at me.
The beauty of your Face and eyes
Struck me at once. A wisp of blonde hair Was across your face. I stepped close. You smiled. Soon we were walking Side by side along the moist Sand.

People pushing past; hurrying home
To wives and children; smelling smells That are not there.
Cars coming and going Along the street, tooting when someone crosses their path.
Someone stops in front and winds his way, back through the crowd, Cursings follow behind,
He stops at a florist and buys a bunch of beautiful, red roses the aroma surrounds. He moves on and the stench of petrol fumes overcomes their delicate perfume.

It wcuid be the nice station boy on the gate She stood waiting to go through, her fingers turning her silver ring The 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 She 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 were perfectly placed and there was an easy brittle grace in the way she held her bag. There 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 The 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 There was the article she wanted
The 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. There was the station boy
"Hi beautiful! What're 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
LYNDAL ROPER, H.VI.E
A solitary man has both fists closed
In one hand he had water which long ago slipped through his fingers In the other he clutches sand and his hands are rough. The man who gives has both hands open
He holds his hands out for love and love has smoothed the lines and made his hands eternal.

Flight
Oh! boundless Freedom, I fly in your tangled hair of endless smiling blue, Floating in drunk happiness tumbling in wind-trodden rooms of cloud, 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 wings
And tumble-weave my laughter in blue curves of yellow days and gold touches wonder.
I swing a dance, delirious dream, 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.

I look up at the palm tree
Silhouetted against the clear sky, The high sun is broken into Gleaming rays by my lashes as I
Raise my head.
A gentle breeze toys with the wisps of hair that have strayed, They float
Like sea-weed on a gently moving swell.

Monkey
I press my ugly head against the bars
Suck my dirt-ingrained fingers
And look at my shrivelled hairiness.
I am old
And the tormented soul behind this vacant eye
Burns with resentment in my ludicrous body
Amid peanuts, and droppings
And human laughter.
My chattering brothers
Leap in jungle green and sunlight, While I turn my face to the concrete coldness
And human eyes speculate.
Dawn of man showed us equal creatures
But you advanced and I remain ape
A living example of an ancient you, I sit in wretchedness
And a voice from my monkey soul cries
Why was I left behind?
The Coach Driver
He has spent hours of listening, To the unruly chatter, To the crash of his gears, and the groan of his engine.
He sits a King and lonely ruler, He stands alone until —, With a rumbling and a grinding, A grating and a rushing, A silver, stream-lined, bird of the road Passes.
A raised hand; a flick of the wrist; And a strange, wistful, lonely smile — That lingers and curls, And hovers like a pitiful name;
A hidden meaning —
For whom?
For the awe-struck gazers?
For the black-ribbon road?
Or does it convey the loneliness of the road.
Darkness
She stood by the swamp in all its glory and slime, and mosquitoes filled the air.
She wore nothing but black and her expressionless face gleamed white against her thick hair. Around her feet the swamp was cold; the air was thick and moist; *and the insects buzzed round as she stood by a mound.
The crows on the dead branches above her were as black and silent as the night, and did not move or utter a sound.
A rotting cross stood before her — with a sigh she turned from it, and, leaving the swamp behind, she walked to the building, grey in the distance.
The crows turned to watch her.
But she didn't realize; she was blind.
Ibexes
The olive-brown, steep and weathered mountains
Lie close to the wispy clouds dancing, in the peaceful blue sky. Sturdy animals make their way Up the perilous slopes Of snow-capped and unexplored mountains. Their warm woolly coats protect them
From the freezing winters, They are sure-footed And jump and play on the rocky ledges
Not realising that slipping would mean certain death.

Earthquake
I turn restlessly, Fighting to awake, Suddenly my whole being, Is alert, tense, waiting, Waiting for what I do not know, But oh so soon It shall be there; I wonder why and what and where. Suddenly the earth tremors, Like a giant underneath, Shifting his load, I fall to the ground, Panic rushes to my mind, Tables, chairs, lamps, They fall,
Upon my body in amongst the wreckage, In the hall.
After this what happens, I am not aware, I feel as if the very ground beneath me Is not there.
I feel as if I am in a butter churn, And I'm the butter, And the world's a churn. Then I feel dizzy, As the world swings round, And round and round, And even my mind begins to turn.

Hippopotamus
The serene hippo floats. His beady eyes gleaming, Crater nostrils blow water and a cave for a mouth bubbles. His neck is like a gravel hill and mountains of fat hills hang under his chin.
His ears are like little sunshades made of cardboard
But his face holds no personality, Just a bored comfortable happy look.
Sacred Ibis
His wings raised in flight, Like white silk edged with black braid His magnificence and loveliness
Of a handsome prince
He soars into the sunset. With ease and a rhythmical sweep
He glides like a Lord over his domain, And without effort or thought
He lands delicately with great splendor and grace Sinking into the shadow of the shimmering waters
Like a painter's brush on a masterpiece.

Come and have a cup of tea.
And perhaps a little talk, And after we have finished
Maybe a quiet walk.
I'll take you to a lonely place
That no one has ever seen, And I'll eat you up for supper
As if you'd never been.
The Creek
The black berries and brambles line the creek.
GILLIA N BRAILSFORD , III.C
There are wattle and gum trees as well. It's a pretty creek. Especially just after it has rained. The brown water trickles, or gushes, down the creek, over the stones, covered with moss. The steep sides are covered with green growth after the rain.
In one part, all the brambles cover the creek with dark juicy black berries on them.
The creek winds about as if, it specially avoids the trees growing, on the bank.
Growing in another part of the creek a huge branch has fallen across the creek.
If you go down to the creek it is quiet and peaceful.

My geranium
Speaking softly to my hand, Whispering its thirst.
Little drops of rain
Knocking on the closed petals
Waking them from sleep.
The little goat eats
The fresh, green grass of Spring, Like men drink champagne.
The Sea Bird
KATH Y BROOKS , INC
He slowly lifts his tired wings and glides down to the ground to rest
And there in his nest
he croons himself to sleep.
Early in the morning
he rises gracefully to a high altitude.
He turns and circles
Then slowly lifting his powerful wings floats towards the rising sun.
The Sea
Under the salt spray and sea foam
He the coral-stained waters of the Paoific.
Sharks have swum and dived
but they are tired, for the soft gleam of The sun has disappeared and Night has cast its shadow.
All is peaceful, calm and comforting.
Only the gulls are awake, combing the feathers of their young, willing them to sleep.
The moon watches over the sea, Smiling at his reflection — he is tired now; But his friend, the Sun is near. She comes close now and beams over the water, now iridescent.
The moon closes his eyes
And the Sun sings a lullaby that Gently ripples across the Sea.
The gulls are waiting, calling to the sea. Their off-spring preen their wings while a parent bird in flight swoops to land Ornately on the surface of the water, A swift cormorant flies past, its lustrous, black body circles and dives.

Down at the seaside Early in the morning
The birds congregate Looking for leftovers From the night before All is quiet — Until, Children arrive
Running, screaming and yelling, Disturbing the birds. The sun, Now high in the sky Glows around the seaside Glistening on the waves And golden sand Slowly, As the sun sets All becomes quiet Once more. Back come the birds, to peck the crumbs. Now left behind Again.

My snowflake is still asleep, Its lazy head dies on the ground, It does not peep Or make a sound

Some Laughter for You to Think About
I will give you a cup of laughter, Some laughter to think about
Do you want some laughter? Bubbles of laughter Waves of laughter. Yes; I want some laughter Ripples of laughter tears of laughter. Would you like it in fits and starts? Yes, make it come suddenly catch me unawares. Why do you want some laughter? Are you happy, Or afraid to be sad?
I want some laughter because it makes me cry It makes me feel funny twitter un-natural
By the way What is laughter? I really don't know.
Dawning Morning
Semi-darkness, a grey blanket covering the sky, All is still, quiet — expectant. Golden red beams of colour reach out, further, further and yet further Until everything is lit in a red-golden light. Suddenly — light — a golden moon peeps over the horizon, /As if in question as to where it should be "Here! Here!"
The world seems to cry, for want of light "All right!" says the sun And he rises, stretching and heaving Then waking up, and spreading all his light over the sky
To reveal a clear, blue sky Colour!
Green, vivid and clear, Blue, shining in golden light
A new day is born full of hope and expectations Life is a colourful joy of love.
The Watch
This hourly Satan, shows us the time, With its ironic smirk it shows us, How we waste our precious life.
No advice is given from this silently, noisy beast,
Just a tick or two, to let you know, You're being timed.

Atmosphere
The zea is an enemv. and a friend, It is beautiful but terrifying
It prenems a power, a power which man must conquer
But also it presents beauty, beauty which man must love.
The sea, a glistening, bright spectacle, I could sit all day on the warm, oozing sand, and watch, watch, see
An interruption — people. They come with their gahy-co,ouied umbrellas, their young screaming children, the hippies with their surfboards — they don't understand the sea — its beauty and peacefulness.
But yes — they must understand it for they create a new atmosphere.
The sea, I went down on a cold windy day — the wind wrapping itself around me in a cold, sticky blanket
But look at the sea, yet again a new atmosphere is created
A fearsome, terrifying feeling of cold, there is no beauty
The sea is angry — with what?
What is the sea?
By the Sea
I sit on the beach, Silently listening to the "boom" of the waves, On the rocks.
Watching the spray and foam slide into the water, As though it were dead.
And the white crests galloping up to save them, But always too late.
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.

The Piano
The Piano stands still and silent. Where once it rippled out music is now rests Solemnly, Quietly. Each day the dusty music sits like a statue on a pedestal. And each day it calls Silently to the keys: "Give me life to play and sing" But only the cries of wood, rotten Billow down the keys. In solitude it lies in the cold room and waits and waits, for eternity.

WHA T I DIDN'T DO IN TH E HOLIDAYS
The things I didn't do in the holidays would fill a book 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.
Some 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.
A Bolster
A bolster! a bolster!
The History teacher cried.
Unaware that a little bear was floating round inside the pupils grabbed the heater they chained themselves with ink they threw the green carnation into the library sink
They cried for Foreign Policy
They said it should be ground they made a paper roundabout and whirled themselves around The emu came and voted.
"It's constitutional" they said but it was exuding apathy and eating raisin bread.
The teacher had been eaten Her bones lay on the floor but as they heard a small noise from the drainpipe "a bolster, a bolster... "

DEBORA H BRAILSFORD
But there we have it in a nutshell The 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

The Drip
Drip, drip, drip, drip, I really am very nervous,
In another 17 drips it is MY turn.
Drip, drip, drip, drip. Is everybody ready? waiting? watching?
Drip, drip, drip, drip, I feel quite like the Mad Hatter, Unable to do anything but fluster and split at the seams.
Drip, drip, drip, drip, Oh, I do hope I don't split at the seams! Drip, drip, drip, Only another two to go, and then — ME! I've never dripped in my life before. I really do feel frightfully insecure. Drip, drip, Is everybody watching Here I go drip.
But instead of the uproarious cheers and apolause from the multitudinous, teeming crowds, The only reaction was the echo of the soft plop! — in the grotty cave
As that fearless drip drifted into everlasting eternity Along with all those other nameless drips who perform the most difficult and delicate feat of their lives.

Windows of dresses and shelves of shoes; Fridges of cheese, just say what you choose; Piles of oranges and piles of pears; Shops full of things that everyone wears; Stacks of toys and boxes of books; Coats on hangers and meat on hooks; Scales on the counter to measure the weight; People are hurrying because it's late. Clinking of money and rustling of feet. The horns of cars going beep, beep, beep.

You had better hurry home for your supper is nearly ready; your mother's in the kitchen and she's very cross She's been shouting at the cat and she keeps on saying, "Oh where has he got to, the wretched child?" She has been to the front door and looked through the window, and now she's banging on the trypan The plates and all the dishes are on the table, so run, my boy, as fast as you can. Didn't you know she's cooking your favourite supper — potatoes in their jackets and beef steak pie? She's made a jug of custard in the oven.
Get a move on, Joe, the stars are in the sky They've all left the factory, and the streets will soon be empty No more playing now, it's time you were fed It's really a shame to keep your mother waiting, so come and have your supper and then off to bed

"Ho w are we numbered like a batch of convicts expected to become enthusiastic over Houses? "
Early in 1937 the House s were amalgamated into four Houses — A B C and D Then on 22nd April 1937 Mr Grove announced that House A was to be Berry, House B was to be Cato, House C was to be Fitchett and House D was to be Krome
Then, in 1959, Nevile and Tiddeman were formed to decrease the large number of girl s in the existing Houses
