Morning assembly may announce an S.R.C. meeting, several House play practices, trials for the School Sports and a newspaper meeting All these activities will probably be held at the same time but will be in different parts of the school This poses no problems for those who are not interested in the activities, but for the people involved in more than one, a busy lunchtime is ahead It is spent running from meeting to practice, sitting in on them in a dazed stupor, only to leave early to race off to the next activity This may be a good way of losing weight, but it is also a tiring way to spend what for others is an hour of relaxation
The trap is easy to fall into because there is so much going on at school Trying to decide where you should become involved is often difficult; however, you should try to restrict your list of activities because you cannot be of much use if you are expected in three places at once Try to remember that it is not actually the quantity of work you can cram into a lunchtime, but rather it's the quality of work. It is often more useful to sit through an entire meeting of one activity rather than only part of several meetings.
Unfortunately, I did not realise the problems of over-involvement until recently, and now it is too late to recapture the afternoons that passed away in a blur, owing to the confused and bothered state of mind I was in after such lunchtimes
Consequently, I warn everyone now; M.L.C is a big place that is always alive with action but you cannot be expected to help in the development of every aspect of the school Because M.L.C is so large, there are many girls available to help, and talent lies latent within many I urge you to explore your talents and then decide where you think you will be most interested and most useful within the school; whether it be playing the trumpet, jumping hurdles or producing plays Once you have found your niche, try not to diversify too far or you, too, will be caught up in the "Lunchtime Running Syndrome" Enjoy your activity to its full extent by giving it all your enthusiasm and, at the same time, have a chance to relax a bit in between classes!
MEREDITH MAGUIRE, H.VI.A
from the principal .. .
Every girl who begins at M.L.C receives a College badge When the student comes for an interview I sometimes talk to her about the College motto, "For God and for Home" It is encouraging to see that girls realise that a motto only comes alive when it is put into practice, when it leads to action
This year has been one of great activity among students, teachers and parents Girls have been excited to use the new facilities provided in the Resource Centre and a beginning has been made to enrich educational experience
through the availability of audio-visual equipment and resources New science
laboratories and renovated classrooms have been a great improvement
Teachers have been participating in many conferences and seminars of a professional nature and the students ultimately benefit because teaching methods and curriculum are constantly under review Miss Betty Jackson, our new VicePrincipal, supported by members of Staff, has been busy in the interests of all students Our College Chaplain, Rev Wesley Trigg, has been overseas where he has successfully completed a course in Religious Education We shall be glad to welcome his return with Mrs. Trigg and family in 1975.
M.L.C is most fortunate to receive enthusiastic support from the Parents' Association In many ways the College is receiving practical assistance from parents and our aim of helping students by means of the combined efforts of school and home is being realised
The College Magazine provides a medium for reporting on our activities and an opportunity for creative work We commend girls for their original efforts and trust that they will gain knowledge and skill which will lay a foundation for greater achievements in the future.
Senior Prefects' Report
Once upon a time there were twenty-six prefects at M.L.C who were concerned about the need for better communication between Staff student s and themselves Fro m the beginning of thi s year we've all wanted to help girl s enjoy schoo l more and in thi s proces s to be loved instead of receiving disrespect Thi s negative attitude that prefects each year inherit, blocks friendly productive relations with students
Accepting a prefectship at M.L.C i s a unique challenge, and as a group and individually, we have learned about responsibilit y of adapting onesel f to cope with school demands and pressures
At the year' s beginning we stepped into the traditional expectations of leadership—attractive appearance respect for others enjoyment of constructive activities and responsibilitie s in school functions where virtuall y all the year' s prefects have been found as leaders of House s n sport and musi c competitions and in many other schoo l groups We felt that thi s participation in school activities and becoming friend s with as many girl s of all ages as possible , s our main value and purpose as prefects However, thi s i s often overlooked, as prefects are traditionally associated with disciplin e and restrictions
Great has been the conflict behind the closed door of the Prefects' common room in meetings thi s year, and many a devoted prefect has spent sleeples s nights and lunch time s thinking about the theory and practice of good relations with students ! Fro m these meetings and our experiences thi s year, we have all felt the need for active communication and involvement if a memorable happy education continues for everyone withi n thi s large school
Our guiding star has been Mis s Jackson , whos e constructive suggestions , conversation s and sens e of humour have helped u s adapt to our new role withi n the schoo and led us through much frustration and lurkin g despair Than k you Mis s Jackson for your supporting friendshi p thi s year
Schoo l meetings thi s year, both with other school s and within M.L.C., have been very interesting and instructive Thi s year we went to three meetings for school captains, where approximately twenty school s were represented, and problem s and successe s in schoo l organization s were discussed We brought ideas from the conference back to M.L.C into talk s with Mr Woodgate Mis s Jackso n and Mis s Ker r concerning other schools magazines and student newspapers religiou s education and libera studie s programmes W e also discusse d future improvements in prefect duties and better communication and student union s and social functions "The y dreamt of a school in the far-off years "
On a les s instructive more entertaining basis were the official functions we attended Our year began with the opening of the library in the firs t week of Ter m I when we met the Ministe r for Education, Mr Lindsa y Thompson We welcomed the Mayor of Kew, Councillor Petrie, and the past Lor d Mayor of Melbourne, Councillor Whalley, when they visited the senio r students M.L.C was once again represented at the Edit h Cavell Memorial Servic e on Anzac Day We were fortunate in hearing Si r Robert Menzies ' ever-powerful oratory, during the ceremony at the Kew Tow n Hall, in which he wa s made Honourable Freeman of the City of Kew Our most recent invitation wa s to the annual meeting of the Lor d Mayor' s Fun d at the Melbourne Tow n Hall, where we talked with the Governor Si r Henr y Winneke and had afternoon tea in the company of the Lor d Mayor and Lady Mayores s and other dignitaries S o the social aspects of being Senio r Prefect thi s year have been very stimulating
Socia l stimulatio n i s only one of the beneficial facets of M.L.C life of which all student s may avail themselves W e hope that you enjoy and wil l continue to give to thi s schoo l experience We close thi s report with the hope that after examination result s are announced, everyone live s happily ever after "Good-bye, Good luck "

Miss JOSEPHINE RUDIN
It is with deep regret that we record the passing of Miss Josephine Rudin on Friday, 16th August. She was an Old Collegian who joined the Staff in 1956, specialising in the teaching of English and History, mainly in the Senior School
She was a skilful and dedicated teacher whose enthusiasm for her subjects will always be remembered by those students who were privileged to be taught by her. Under her guidance and interesting presentation of the work, girls were inspired to fulfil their potential, and her encouraging words and generous praise enabled many to develop a sense of achievement She had the ability to evoke a warm response from her students whom she always regarded and treated as individuals, and her warm, friendly personality won her the affection of both Staff and girls
Her interest in her pupils was not restricted to the classroom She was always very involved in organising extra-curricular activities which included excursions to plays, films and ballet, as well as to places of historic interest As the founder and President of the History and Literature Society she played a significant part in widening the historical and literary horizons of many girls, and played a major role in the raising of funds which were allocated to the purchasing of more History books for the school library
In addition, Miss Rudin organised and escorted a number of school tours of historic interest to Sydney, Canberra and Tasmania, as well as participating in more extensive tours to North Queensland, Central Australia and New Guinea As a member of the Staff Social Committee, she organised many social functions with the purpose of promoting good Staff relationships
As Senior Mistress of Cato from 1970-74, Miss Rudin showed a keen interest in all House activities, and encouraged many girls to participate in the various facets of inter-House competition.
Miss Rudin's untiring and devoted service to the school over so many years has been deeply appreciated; she will be greatly missed.
Mr R W NEVILE , C.B.E
It was with regret that we heard of the death of Mr R. W. Nevile, C.B.E., who was Chairman of the Executive Committee of the M.L.C Council for a period of 31 years He will long be remembered at M.L.C as Nevile House and the Nevile Wing will continue to bear his name for many years to come
The following resolution appeared in the Minute Book when Mr Nevile retired from his position as Chairman:—
Resolutio n moved by Si r Irving Benson , 20/2/196 8
The Executive Committee of the M.L.C records its thanksgiving for the life and service of Mr. R. W. Nevile and for his membership extending through 33 years during 31 of which he was our honoured Chairman His strength and grace, vision and practical ability have made a fruitful contribution to the life and development of the College. As the Manager and Chairman of one of Melbourne's great stores, which by his skill and enterprise he brought to the front rank, he gave the same full measure of devotion to the life and expansion of the College
With a far-seeing appreciation of affairs he has helped to lift the finances of the College from a multitude of problems into a sound, solvent working efficiency which has enabled the Principals and Staff to do their best work and constantly expand the equipment and services of the College to meet the challenge of a period of transition and new thinking.
Mr Nevile's gay and generous service is symbolised in the R W Nevile Wing which will celebrate through the onward years his high service and deep devotion to the M.L.C
The members of the Committee with thankfulness for all he has striven to do and achieve will remember most pleasantly the friendship which has endeared him to them and made the experience of working with him a satisfying joy The reward for work well-done is to have done it and this we are sure will always shine with a golden afterglow in the mind and heart of our dear friend Roy Nevile whom we delight to honour R.A.W.W
GENERAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
During 1972 work was proceeding on three new General Science Laboratories, in Nevile Wing, to complement the two existin g ones, and from the beginning of the 1973 schoo l year we were able to take occupation of these laboratories, in spite of the fact that a few details remained to be completed Ther e was, for example, a mild panic when, almost the day before school opened, we realised we were definitely not going to have delivered to u s the new slidin g chalkboards which had been ordered In fact, the teachers would have been confronted with a bare wall had not Mr Turne r performed the sor t of miracle we have come to expect from him and had at the ninth hour a large piece of old blackboard riveted to the front wall of each new laboratory (We now have the new boards!)
A s from thi s year our accommodation i s such that all science lesson s for al students from For m I to For m IV take place in a laboratory At the lowest level of Nevile Wing, the new laboratory has it s own Preparation Roo m area At the other two levels the existin g Preparation Room s have been extended, making spaciou s areas each of which serve s two laboratoiies, one on either sid e of the Preparation room Th e science teaching staff and laboratory assistant s are also accommodated with work desk s in these rooms
A s all level s are connected by a servic e lift, t i s an easy matter to move equipment and other materials, as required, between any of the five laboratories Fo r som e years we have been able to sho w film s in the two laboratories for For m II I and For m IV levels, without moving classe s out to other projection rooms , and thi s facility can now be extended to all science classes
During the last week, Mr Bradsha w has wired up connections to link the General Science Department to the Resourc e Centre We have been able to acquire a T.V set and we are now in the position of being able to show in any of the laboratories videotaped material "o n tap as it were to suit any particular class which represent s a wonderful new aid to the work of the Department
Plan s have already been submitted for the complete renovation of the two old laboratories It i s hoped that thi s work wil l be completed for the start of the 1975 schoo l year, thu s giving u s the best possibl e facilities for the work of thi s large department, representing as it does, science wor k for more than half the number of students in the Senio r School

THE RESOURCE CENTRE
SUNDAY 10th FEBRUARY 1974
Th e opening ceremony was performed by the Hon L H S Thompson , M.L.A., B.A., B.Ed. , Deputy-Premier and Ministe r of Education Th e service was led by the Rev C K Daws, C.B.E. , E.D., Acting Presiden t of the College Council, and the building s were dedicated by the Rev W J Hunkin , M.A., Dip.Ed., President of the Methodist Conference of Victoria and Tasmania
At the close of the opening ceremony the members of the official party were conducted through the new Resourc e Centre where Staff member s and senior students were available in the various areas to give information Other visitor s to the college were also invited to inspect the new facilities Afternoon tea was served in the new Tuc k Sho p by member s of the Parents Association and the Old Collegians' Club
TH E RESOURC E CENTR E
Planning commenced in 1971 and the College Council decided that the project shoul d include a Resourc e Centre consistin g of the Librar y and Audio-Visua l Area together with a new Staff Centre and a Tuc k Sho p and Lunch Room for the students
For the Resourc e Centre the College Council was offered a grant of $174,641 from the Commonwealth Government Th e whole project wil l cost in the vicinity of $650,000 Si r Bria n Hone Chairman of the Commonwealth Secondary School s Librarie s Committee gave valuable advice throughout the planning and construction periods Th e Council appointed Messrs Daryl Jackson and Evan Walke r as architects and they worked in close collaboration with Staff Committees and member s of the Parents ' Association Tuc k Sho p Committee in planning the variou s sections Mr Joh n Mitchell was appointed supervisor y architect
Eventually the contract was arranged with Van Drie l Pty Ltd and the wor k which commenced early in 1972 continued throughout 1973 Our thank s are expresse d to the architects builder members of Staff and Parents Committees and to Si r Bria n Hone for al the work which has been successfull y accomplished Th e College garden staff have been busil y engaged in landscaping the surroundin g areas and the Resourc e Centre which breaks new ground n educational architecture in Australia wil l be a valuable acquisition to the teaching facilities at M.L.C
Som e years ago M.L.C was a beneficiary from the estate of the late Professo r Willia m Davies, Emeritu s Professo r of Organic Chemistr y in the Universit y of Melbourne Hi s two daughters who predeceased him were Old Collegians An amount of approximately $84,000 from the estate has assiste d the establishment of the Audio-Visua Centre on Leve IV.
Th e M.L.C Parents ' Association aware of the need for equipment and book s for the new Resourc e Centre have during recent years made more than $24,000 available for thi s purpose and the parents hope to continue their support
In 1971 Kathryn Hilliard a student in For m II tragically lost her life in an accident Th e smal l rock garden at the south-east corner of the Resourc e Centre i s a memoria to her Leve I in the new building provides an excellent amenity for the girls with the large lunch room and new Margaret Lor d Tuc k Sho p honouring Mrs C H Lor d who for seventeen years gave loyal voluntary service as Presiden t of the Kilvingto n Ladies' Auxiliary
A comfortable Staff Centre i s on Level II and thi s wil l be known as the Lucy Kellaway Staff Centre honouring Mis s Lucy D Kellaway, B.A., Dip.Ed., M.A.C.E. Old Collegian and Chief of Staff (1955-1965)
Th e name of Walton Librar y wil l be retained for the new library on Level s II I and IV Mis s R Walton was a member of Staff for forty years and hundred s of M.L.C girl s were helped by her to appreciate and love good books
Th e M.L.C Old Collegians' Club have supported the project and have donated a handsome painting of the origina l College building by the artist Fran k Carter
M.L.C RESOURC E CENTR E I N ACTIO N
Th e M.L.C Resourc e Centre has been a hive of activity during 1974 It has been used by girl s and staff for profit and pleasure Th e more spaciou s facilities in comparison to old Walton Library have enabled more girl s to indulge in private study in comfort Th e smal l seminar room s are popular at lunch time with H.S.C students who wis h to use Librar y materials or equipment n quiet away from the activity of lunch time borrowing or browsing Girl s in smal l group s use the room s for discussio n of schoo l projects, for play practices, foreign language conversation practice, and for listening and criticisin g whatever they may have recorded of their work ; students of the subject "Communication frequently request the use of the room s for collectively workin g on assignments
Th e five seminar room s have given all levels in the school, who previously had only limited access to the old premise s and stock, opportunity for clas s and assignment work usin g all the Librar y facilities; the resulting work has been of a high standard Th e larger library siaff and stock has indeed been appreciated Th e photo-copier too has been a boon in saving many laboriou s hour s copying diagrams and notes
Rationalized location of a/v material and equipment has resulted in greater availability particularly to girls ; ultimately the catalogue wil l sho w all material held in the Resourc e Centre and specialised material held in the departments
Most exciting of all benefits of the Resourc e Centre and developments in sophisticated facilities i s the addition of videotape equipment It i s now possibl e to reticulate programmes throughout the Library ; eventually programmes wil l be piped around the school
Inevitably there have been som e problem s but the advantages of the new building outweigh the difficulties

United Nations Club
Thi s year has not been an over-enthusiastic one sinc e there was some lack of permanent support and interest in the United Nation s Club But the one major function which we were able to conduct drew quite a number of supporter s and those on the committee were very grateful to the girl s who helped us I refer of course to our trip to the Zoo where we took a group of State Schoo l children from Cambridge Street Primar y Schoo l in Collingwood early in term two In all the party numbered about 60 and though the weather was not what might have been wished for I think the childre n enjoyed themselve s and were quite happy regardles s of som e rain I am sur e the M.L.C girl s also thought it a worth-while effort—to bring something a little different and enjoyable to these children, many of whom have only an asphalt schoo l court or the road to play on
Som e of the children from Grade 2 showed their appreciation of the day out by sending us a booklet of drawing s and letters addressed to M.L.C girl s and these were warmly received I hope that such functions as thi s wil l continue next year and perhaps a few times, for it i s in the spiri t of the United Nations ' aims, to be interested and concerned for the happines s of other people and to try to create bonds of friendshi p between them
I wil l also mention here that, on behalf of the United Nation s Club I attended a weekend conference held by the Younger United Nations Associatio n at "Retrea t House in Cheltenham over the second term holidays Thi s conference wa s open to all representatives of secondary schools mainly in the metropolitan area and about 22 student s attended Thre e lectures were conducted with a common theme of "Technology " in relation to urban development medicine and the environment and the lecturer s were very interesting and informative Ther e were a number of discussion s over current topics related to the U.N and on the afternoon of the last day one of the lecturer s joined with u s n discussin g the value and effectiveness of the central United Nations body and it s resolutions , with the resul t that most of us agreed that there i s a need for a central body such as the U.N.O to try and maintain peace in the worl d and to help n controlling such thing s as technological advancement s o that a balance may be maintained between its good and unhealthy effects
I thought the conference a worth while experience n tolerance and communication in meeting different people and listening to their different points of view
Next year I hope that the club wil l stil l keep going and that there wil l be more enthusias m directed toward it I would like to take thi s opportunity to thank the other two faithful member s of the club' s committee Juli a and Zoya for their help during the year and an especial thank you to the Staff supporters Mr Morri s and Mr Li m for giving up their free time to help organise thing s and for their co-operation throughout the year

Liberal Studies Report
Durin g Term s I and II the P.M.G.' s wire s ran hot as Mr Goodwin arranged speaker s to altend our Libera l SJudies periods on Mondays and Thursday s for the main purpose of enriching our Englis h Expressio n activities
Th e programme was roughly divided into subject areas, the first of course being "Authorit y and the Individual. Mrs Judit h Swan Dr Camellerie and Dr Max Teichman n came and discusse d the legal and political aspects of thi s enduiin g problem while our own Mr Goodwin expounded som e view s on the relation between "Conscienc e and Authority" Thes e lectures were invariably followed by discussio n group s where we were encouraged to formulate and air our own opinions and where modification often followed accusations of being too outrageous
Th e May Federal election following the double dissolutio n of parliament provided an excellent opportunity for our political horizon s to be extended, and Mr Race Matthews, M.H.R., and Mr Gavin Oakley (A.L.P.), Mrs Schwar z (A.P.), Mr Misse n (Lib.), Mr Nixon , M.H.R (C.P.) and ex-Senato r Hannon (Ind.) all jumped at the opportunity On occasion they became so involved that no embarrassin g silence was left for question time! Dr Ji m Cairn s had intended to come but owing to unforeseen happenings in Canberra, the arrangements had to be cancelled
Th e media play an important role in our lives and Mr Geoff Raymond (ABV2 ) and Mr Cornis h (3UZ ) came to reveal some of the background to televisio n and radio M.L.C.' s Mrs Wootton conjured up memorie s and prepared us for the future with her captivating talk on "Children' s Literature"
Generally interesting session s were led by som e member s of the Chiropractic Association the American Consul speaking on "Women' s Rights" Dr To m Neales on "Environment Population and Al l That! " Mrs Carmel Budiardj o from Amnesty International revealing som e of the oppressio n of politica prisoner s in Indonesia, and the memorable Councillo r Whalle y who coloured our impression s of the joy s and sorrow s encountered in the office of Lor d Mayor of Melbourne
Sincer e thank s are due to all thes e people and to thos e whos e n3me s are too numerou s to lis t for donating their time to M.L.C.' s H.S.C student s who were fortunate to be made aware of many thing s that they never knew existed Specia thank s are also due to Mr Goodwin and the other participating member s of Staff Mis s Jackson Mis s Kerr Mrs Otzen Mr Gooderham and Mr Morris
I hope next year's H.S.C student s are given and take advantage of thi s excellent opportunity

H.S.C. Dinner Dance
One of the best H.S.C dances ever to take place was held in the Kew Tow n Hall on Thursday , 15th August It was really great to see the enthusias m and interest show n by all the girl s who attended and judging by the comments of those present (an unusuall y large number for an M.L.C dance) it seem s that everyone had a really terrific night
Th e visua l effect was achieved with black and white decorations throughout the hall Th e music, provided by Skyhook s and Windjammer, dissipated the usual schoo l atmosphere found in many functions.
We're sur e that everyone would agree that the highlight of the evening came at the strok e of ten when Mr Woodgate got up on the dance floor and displayed some of hi s talent n modern dancing Although other staff members enjoyed themselves it was definitely Mr Woodgate who took the honour s for original style followed closel y by Mrs Janse n and Mrs Tuck who also showed some promise
Finally , sincer e thank s must go to Mrs Otzen and Mrs Tuc k for giving up their valuable time to help with the preparations and arrangements We would also like to thank the committee members for all their hard work in the few week s prio r to the dance
Without a doubt the function proved to be an overwhelming succes s and well worth the effort involved

S.C.M. Report
Th e Lor d has really blessed S.C.M thi s year W e have had fellowshi p meetings on Thu.sda y lunchtime s with a regular attendance of about 40 girls Thes e meetings have been fairly informal with singing sharin g and som e good discussions At the beginning of 2nd term we started having Bibl e Studie s on Monday lunchtimes Attendances at these have been smaller but the few girl s who have attended them have benefited greatly from studie s on variou s topics led by Helen Mill
On the last Frida y of the May holiday s about 15 girl s turned up for a day of fellowshi p at the Liljas ' house It was strange meeting out of schoo l and at first we didn't say much, but after lunch everyone opened up a bit more and we had a really thought-provoking discussio n that lasted for about three hour s and covered many topics Thi s was very reluctantly stopped s o that we could get home before tea I know that I personally was drawn closer to the girl s who were there and it has helped me with leading the group
During 2nd term, students from Latrobe and Melbourne Universitie s led som e of the Thursda y meetings and everyone gained a lot from what was said Late in Jun e we held a walkathon to rais e money for Force 10 About 15 of u s managed to walk, or maybe crawl i s the word to use, 11 mile s to Mandy Gill' s house, where we dried out (it rained fairl y steadily for the last half hour ) and had a barbecue tea W e raised $100 and really enjoyed ourselve s despite a few aching legs
Mr Gooderham ha s been of invaluable assistanc e thi s year
Although he has only led one meeting he has helped with the organisation and ha s been able to get som e song sheet s run off for us which have been very useful May God be with him and hi s family as he continues in thi s service
Al l in all thi s year has been a very successfu l one for us
Th e Lord' s Spiri t i s really moving through M.L.C and t has been wonderful to be part of thi s movement Than k you to everyone who has helped me thi s year even if it was jus t by coming along to the meetings May God bles s you richl y and you can be certain that my prayers and the prayers of the other s who are leaving thi s year wil l be with the group next year
May the peace of God be your s always J O BELCHER H VI A

S.R.C.
Th e Students ' Representative Council has played its most dominant role thi s year as a medium for communication between the "institution " and it s students, as well as achieving change We have gained representation on the Unifor m Committee; the • pinion of the student body i s now voiced by the joint senio r prefect and the president of the S.R.C. , s o when S.R.C motions concerning uniform s are discussed , all opinion s raised during S.R.C meetings may be put to the committee for consideration Our selected deputation has had a meeting with the officers of the tuckshop committee to discus s the opinion s of both students and mothers regarding certain aspects of the tuckshop and Mrs Day has indicated that she would like to attend more S.R.C meetings to answer any question s that we might have concerning the functioning of the Resourc e Centre
Sixty-fou r motions have been submitted to the S.R.C s o far thi s year Th e S.R.C has not yet heard the report of it s deputation to meet the tuck sho p committee and some good motions wil l be raised at the next meeting which wil l probably finalize S.R.C dealings for thi s year Of the 64 motions submitted, 17 were not passed by the S.R.C and 19 have been passed by the schoo with som e alternatives suggested to motion s which could not be carried out
Th e S.R.C has held one meeting a week for the last two term s but it s efficiency was onl y due to the positive attitude of every person involved—both students and staff (thanks especially to Helen Andrew, Louis e Sewar d and Penny Smith—secretary , vicepresident and minute secretary—wh o helped co-ordinate the mas s of motions and background wor k for committees We also appreciate the time which staff gave to the meetings.)
I hope the succeeding generation of the S.R.C maintains these link s and i s capable of workin g towards constructive ends rather than building up a resentment against the authorities who have not always found it possibl e to implement recommendations Thes e communications shoul d lead to an understanding not only of what s needed but also what changes lie withi n the realm s of possibility

I left for America in July 1973 and returned to Melbourne a year later having experienced many different and exciting adventure s and ordeals My year as an AF S student wa s spent in the state of Oregon I lived on a smal l farm about 12 mile s from the little townshi p of Silverto n
It was here that I attended High Schoo l with 1,000 other kid s who came from mile s and mile s away to attend school Secondary education i s quite different in the United States, as the emphasi s i s not placed on academic achievement, but rather on a well rounded education Th e classe s I took include: P.E. Typing Choir Guitar Animal Husbandry Citizenshi p Education (American Government and modern problems) and for English I selected Speech and Creative Writing Th e vast variety of subject s offered made my selection very difficult
Th e High Schoo l syste m i s very much oriented towards competitive sport for the boys Football (gridiron), basketball, wrestling, cros s country, and track and field were very keenly followed by both the student s and the people n the community
In March I travelled by car with my family to northern Minnesota, where we stayed with my American dad's relatives During thi s time we experienced very cold, snow y weather Other highlight s of my year included my graduation from High Schoo l (in cap and gown), a two week bus trip acros s the U.S.A with 40 other AFS'er s and three week s n California before coming home
Despite all the places I visited and interesting people I met, the most rewarding aspects were my numerou s speaking engagements and the fantastic relationship s I had with my friend s and family In all I had a marvellou s year that wil l be with me for ever

School Tours
Tour to Fiji, 1974 r^Uer
Th e first M.L.C tour to Fij i was held thi s year n the May holidays It lasted for fourteen days and I am sur e the forty-three girl s who participated under the leadership of Mis s Albon Mis s Wilkinso n and Mis s Pratt would all agree that the venture was a tremendous success
Only a few hour s after arriving in Nadi we watched an Indian firewalking ceremony, in which boys aged between si x and twenty, with skewer s through their cheeks, walked barefoot on red hot coals without feeling pain It was an amazing sight and would seem to demonstrate the power over the mind of the legend from which the ceremony was derived
Th e following day brought the firs t of many experiences of the characteristic friendlines s of the Fijia n people It was Mother' s Day and we attended a church service conducted in their language by Fijia n women wearing the traditional white dres s for Sundays We were given a warm welcome and lent some hymn book s — of rather limited use because of the peculiaritie s of Fijia n spelling
Fro m Nad we travelled north-east along the coast and then transferred by motor boat to the beautiful island of Nananuira one of the many smal l island s of the Fijia n group Apart from the owner s of the bungalows we were the island' s sole occupants and spent a gloriou s two days relaxing on the beach and explorin g the island' s interior Our stay there was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the tour We wil not soo n forget the interesting people we met and their way of life Al were sorr y to leave as we departed for our next stop — Suva
Much money was spent n duty free shopping in downtown Suva the museum and the Universit y of the Sout h Pacific were visited and drive s around the suburb s enabled u s to see the very varied living conditions of the people in the capital During a visi t to picturesque Orchid Islan d we were entertained by Fijia n dancers and two of the girl s were invited to participate in the kava ceremony Kava i s a specia drink prepared from the root of the yaqone plant and offered with particular ceremonial to honoured guests
On round the island to Korolevu and a boat trip to a coral atoll where we saw Fijian s making tapa cloth, a material made from the bark of the paper mulberry tree and worn for traditional dancing or on other simila r occasions Each distric t has it s own typical style of design in colour s of black and brown on white
A long dusty bu s ride on the narrow winding unsealed roads returned u s to Nadi so completing our drive right round the main island Th e island' s interior i s seldom visited by tourist s because natural conditions make road building and maintenance very difficult
We departed from Nadi, and Fiji , in the middle of the night and by morning were safely in Melbourne—exhausted , but with vivid memorie s of the large bus, waving passers-by , a birthday party, boats, aerogard, cold showers , Is a lei and friendly people

Tour to Tasmania, 1974
Earl y on the morning of Monday, 13th May, 110 girl s and si x teachers from M.L.C set off to Tasmani a with the aim of being regular school-tour type tourists We arrived at Launceston airport at 9.00 a.m., spli t into three group s and disappeared into the rain
Our firs t taste of colonia Tasmani a was at Entally House a beautifully preserved mansion complete with out-buildings including a smal l chapel Th e three group s stopped at Batman' s Bridg e and had lunch which was greatly appreciated having eaten nothing (?) since about 5 a.m when we left home
We stayed the night at a motel in Deloraine lulled to sleep by the pouring rain Jus t after we left the next morning we had a severe flood warning for the Deloraine River Undaunted, we riske d driving back to Launceston, where we toured the city and took the usual photographs of Cataract Gorge Fro m Launceston we travelled via the Midland s Highway to Hobart On the side s of the road were tree s cut into animal shapes, which added an interest to the long journey
After settling into the motel at Hobart we journeyed to the top of Mt Nelson where we surveye d the night light s of Hobart; the Casino was the outstanding feature
Port Arthu r was our next excursion We tramped around the ruins got soaked to the ski n in the continua rain but found

Tha t night we made an unscheduled visi t to the Wres t Point Casino Bein g under 18 the girl s were not allowed into the gambling rooms, so spent the evening admiring the luxuriou s surroundings
We toured the local attractions of Hobart including the Tudo r Village (a model village handmade by a polio victim) a Shot Towe r and the Botanical Gardens We were then given free time to explore Hobart, and to see the Cat and Fiddle Square where, on the hour the cat plays the fiddle the dog laughs and the cow jump s over the moon!
Al l group s left early on Friday morning to return to Launceston travelling up through the beautiful central lake s district We visited a hydro-power station on the way
110 tired girl s and the exhausted teachers arrived in Melbourne late on the Frida y night, all in need of a good night' s sleep It was agreed that the trip had been a great succes s (in spite of the wet weather and weak joke s of the bus drivers ) and hope was expresse d that in future there would be simila r opportunitie s for girl s to find out about their own country (yes Tasmani a I S part of Australia) and to mix with teachers n an informa atmosphere In all it wa s a successfu l trip

South-East Asian Tour, 1974
Th e tour was a great success ; it started off well and got better and better as we went along
Our first day in Jakarta was spent touring the city — thi s included visitin g the Fis h Market, Museum, and Bin a Ria, a new touris t resort Th e following morning we went to the October 1st, 1965 memorial s at Lobang Buaya Wel l and the Yani Museum Later we drove by taxi through Chinatown where, picturesque though it was, we were appalled by the extreme poverty
On our way to Bandung we slopped at the beautifu Bogor Gardens and then had an authentic Indonesian lunch at the Puncak Pas s Restaurant Next day was action-packed After seeing a steaming volcano crater and bargaining with village children who sol d souvenirs , we decided to sponso r a smal l boy' s primary education — $3.00 from each of u s wil give him si x years schooling During the afternoon we went to a village where children, in the open air and to the accompaniment of gamelan and angklung orchestras , sang and danced for us
Another interesting experience was our visi t to the beautiful Pantigan Lake where prawns shrimp s and other fresh-water fis h are bred Most of u s went out on little bamboo rafts and were poled close to the busy fishe r folk
In Jogyakarta we visited the Prambanan Hindu temple and the Sol o museu m and palace after which we lunched at the museu m director' s home Whil e eating we saw the extraordinary Hors e Tranc e Dance A man was put into a trance, then, under direction by gamelan and whip behaved exactly like a horse—rearing eating grass drinking water
Th e Ramaya, performed that night by the Jogyakarta Classica l Dance Group was superb Word s fail u s as we try to describe the agility and grace of the dancers and the colourful spectacular costumes
W e also visited the vast ninth century Borobudu r Temple where we climbed hundred s of step s and looked at thousand s of Buddhis t carvings Later we lunched at the palace of Princ e Hadinegoro, where Lauren Miram s was dresse d as an Indonesian princess
An unforgettable experience wa s descending by pony into a ^list-fille d crater crossin g the grey volcanic sea of sand and trotting in singl e file over narrow track s at the base of the smokin g volcano, Mt Bromo We dismounted, climbed some 270 step s to the narrow rim and waited quietly to see the sunrise vivid orange and red
After flying to Bali our pace slackened as we absorbed it s wonders One day we visited a wood-carving and silve r factory an art gallery and Tampaksarin g Temple We lunched at Kintamani, overlooking gloriou s Lake Batur, then drove through incredibly beautiful mountains and rice terraces We donned sarong s and explored the huge Gesakis h Templ e on sacred Mt Agung
Another afternoon we surfe d at Kuta Beach and from there went to a village to see the Kecak (Monkey) Dance Th e Ramayana wa s performed by torchlight, the principal s being surrounded by a choru s of one hundred men who chattered like monkeys chanted and swayed—i t was compelling eerie and fascinating
I n Singapor e we were welcomed at the Fort Canning Ris e Wesle y Church on Sunda y morning and later drove to the quiet Jwong Bir d Park We saw the magnificent Hous e of Jade and the extraordinary Tige r Bal m Garden s and spent one afternoon on a Chines e jun k explorin g Singapor e Harbour Most of all we shopped and shopped—fo r electrical goods watches jewellery perfumes—a t prices too good to miss We left for home with purse s empty, arm s full and suitcase s bulging
Th e oversea s trip wa s a new and unforgettable experience for most of us Now we all have wanderlust
We would like to take thi s opportunity of sincerel y thanking Mrs Ashto n and Mr Li m for making the tour possible , and an undoubted success

Firs t term rehearsal s for Lowe r Middle, Middle and Senio r Schoo l choir s and orchestra s culminated n the three respective church services Th e two junio r groups performed musical and dramatic cantatas in the Auburn Methodist Church Middle School , under the direction of Mrs Runge and Mrs Campbell, presented the Easter theme of "Le t us Follo w Him and Lowe r Middle School , under the direction of Mrs Casey, performed with different singing and speaking group s "Th e Sowe r and the Seed"
Th e Senio r Schoo l returned from Easte r holiday s to our Church Servic e on Apri l 21 Th e highlight of thi s service was the school anthem "Tur n Back, O Man" , a majestic, stirrin g arrangement by Gustav Hois t and performed by the girl s of senio r schoo l choir and orchestr a under the inspire d conducting of Mrs Elton-Brown who also led the choir in singin g Mozart' s "Laudat e Dominum"
"Learnin g the notes s only the firs t step Th e essenc e of a good performer i s that he never think s he' s reached the last. "
Wit h thi s guidance and many other musical A, B C' s from J.E.B. , the now united music school settle s into rehearsal s for the many demanding performances of second term But before the May holiday s were over came a wonderfu musical experience
A volunteer group of ninety-five Senio r Choir member s performed with the visitin g Christchurc h Philharmoni c Choir and the Melbourne Symphon y Orchestra in the Melbourne Tow n Hall as part of the A.B.C Gold Concert Series singin g the splendid work "T e Deum Laudamus " for three choirs orchestr a and organ by Hector Berlioz
It consist s of si x choral movements, the firs t two praising the universa Lor d in clear, majestic tones, the third a gentle prayer for mercy "Dignar e Domine" , the fourth "Christe , Rex Gloriae " and the fifth another ethereal prayer of mercy and trus t in breathtaking contrast to the tremendou s impetus and awe-inspiring power of the fina movement "Jude x Crederis" We sang in the first second and sixt h movements, from memory, and we.e conducted by the visitin g Yugosla v conductor Bogo Leskovic It was a great honour and memorable thril l when he came to conduct an evening rehearsal in our own Flockart Hal l for one holiday practice Als o it was such a valuable stimulating part of our musical education to rehearse with the professiona l two-hundred strong New Zealand choir at the Sheraton Motel twice in Melbourne Tow n Hall and finally to perform the whole gripping work on the evening of May 22 to a full Tow n Hal l and a live Australiawide broadcast It was an uplifting occasion that few who took part wil l soo n forget
Th e firs t public presentation of the music school in Ter m II was the performance of "Winte r Duo" , a concert-recital pair innovated by Mrs Elton-Brow n last year Part 1, a choral-orchestral concert on 21s t June, featured a great variety of performing groups ; symphoni c wind ensembles, strin g orchestra, bras s ensemble s (for the firs t time) and the Senio r Choir Orchestr a and M.L.C.-Wesle y Chorale
Th e Chorale consistin g of the M.L.C Senio r Madrigals and the Wesle y College Glee Club choristers performed exhilarating extracts from Carl Orff' s "Carrun a Bwana" Thi s work i s a collection of poems written by vagrant scholar s and monks , and put to Orff' s vital, impressiv e music with it s physical rhythms
Senio r Orchestra with talented versatility presented four contrasting selections The y began with two Mozart compositions the second being a Romance from the E(, Hor n Concerto, with Alisdai r Barne s as soloist Followin g thi s sensitiv e performance came a lively, imaginative "Intermezzo " by Ketelby, and finally, an impressiv e piece by J F Wagner Our M.L.C Orchestra s are of a high technical, artistic and performing standard, reflecting the talents and creative dedication of the instrumental teachers, students and our energetic, inspirin g conductor of both Second and Senio r Orchestras , Mr Van Ernst
Thi s evening was completed with the dynamic artistry of Senio r Choir, performing bright Purcell , the beautiful "Laudat e Dominum again and the startling sparklin g "Psal m 150 of Benjami n Britten
Many of the artist s n thi s firs t concert perfo.med again the following Frida y in "Winte r Duo, Part II" , in smalle r group s o r as soloist s n the Senio r Chamber Musi c Recital—furthe r experience in a music student's education
Th e developing potentia and talent of the junio r music maker s was also exhibited in the successfu l Lowe r Middle Schoo l Recital on the afternoon of Jul y 24 whei e the highlight was the choir' s performance conducted by Mrs Casey Thi s occasion again reflects the excellent training these girl s must enjoy and receive from the M.L.C music staff
After the Winter Duo followed the gruelling but "giocoso " period of inter-Hous e music contests, when both senio r and junio r leaders and group member s came to appreciate many sustainin g witticism s and wisdom s from the music staff Krom e and Fitchett were victoriou s in Middle and Senio r School s respectively, with Mr J Mallinso n and Mis s June Epstein adjudicating while a good time was had by all
Thir d Term , far from winding down, continues to be packed with musica l excitement Middle Schoo l music-making i s particularly active, with it s Recital on October 11
Thi s occasion i s a valuable opportunity for the younger girl s to perform in sol o items and smal chamber groups, and it once again demonstrated the co-operation, effort and enthusias m that i s exercise d continuousl y in all the wor k done by our highly qualified music staff in training the girl s as players in the instrumental field
Another kind of musical activity with a different purpose i s developed in thi s term' s two merr y musicale s for Middle School which are rapidly ripening under the competent and enjoyed leadership of Mrs Campbel and Mrs Runge For m Two' s "Mr Punch " and For m Three' s "H.M.S Pinafore" with an interlude with Second Orchestra are being presented on the evening of October 25 after thi s article i s being written
Th e conclusio n of Thir d Ter m in Speech Days and Night s also living s the climax and union of al the musioal talents developed in thi s year' s activities Senio r School especially experience s the great satisfaction of combining disciplin e with creativity to produce the excellent standard and range of the wonderful energisin g music programme that i s presented so artistically on Speech Night
Fo r these opportunities for creative self-expressio n through music, the students of the M.L.C musi c schoo give s o much admiration, gratitude and sincer e thank s to our director, Mrs Elton-Brown S o much personal energy, aitisti c inspiration and plain hard work constantly flow s from Room II It i s welcomely received by those in the music school, for the guidance, support and dynamic concern behind these constructive direction s that enable the sharing of a spirited invaluable musical education
"Al l creatures now are merry-minded who have shared in thi s year' s enriching programme and extended their educational horizon s as "musi c the time (of 1974) beguileth"

Drama, 1974
Drama has been vigorou s as many interesting events have presented themselves T o begin 1974 the Schoo l Play was a great success After rehearsing and hard wor k in 1973 actors backstage worker s and production team performed a highly creditable play Firs t For m to matriculation girl s involved themselves, providing talent and bubbling team spirit Th e two performances full of colour, music and unusual visual effects, impresse d audiences and newspaper reporters
Th e "Insec t Play" written by two Czechoslovakian brothers i s a social satire consistin g of three acts Th e first i s the pleasure-seekin g Butterflies ; the second, mercenary Creepers and Crawlers , and thirdly, the militaristi c Ants
Block s of variou s heights and shape s set the stage but unfortunately a couple of blocks loosened on the firs t night and left four frightened moths in a precarious position rocking to and fro Most thought it intentiona comedy, little did they know the confusion backstage! T o compensate, the second night ran smoothly and developed the hoped for atmosphere
Communication girl s have taken part in creative drama classe s regularly thi s year, a lesso n when one use s energy and imagination to reveal thoughts of another character Movement and different types of music evoke variou s step s and reactions One learns to become uninhibited and free from self-consciousnes s which can be beneficial for sh y girl s and thos e who have trouble communicating
Som e have found that producing their own play i s extremely self-satisfying Now, given the opportunity, they learn how to use stage design stage make-up and understand the role of stage manager Thi s has led to greater thing s by involving themselve s in Hous e Drama contests, which i s another area of drama where girl s can realise perhaps a smal l amount of talent and cultivate it
Th e Junio r Hous e Drama was won by Krome who performed "Th e Stole n Prince" a beautifully simpl e production which captured the audience with it s delicate humour Cato gained second place with the "Princes s and the Woodcutter" , acted on an effectively set stage and in colourful costumes Fitchett, third, produced "Ho w the Weather i s Made", displaying stunning costume s and enchanting stage design
Followin g the Junio r Drama of course was the Senio r Hous e Festival and as in previous years it was a highlight for many Because of the huge respons e the plays were spectacular and professiona l and attracted larger audiences Krom e Hous e again gained firs t place with their production of "Antigone" Th e play's simpl e dignity and stron g main actresse s roused the respons e that gave them an "edge " on other plays Throughou t the two evenings, costuming, set design and the general production were colourful and artistic Th e above were particularly noticeable in Fitchett' s play, "Th e Wizar d of Oz" , which gained second place In third place was Nevile Hous e with their production of "Th e Magic Pudding" Adapting the stor y themselves , one noticed good timing and bright costume s that helped build an atmosphere of warmth and gaiety
It i s true that Hous e Drama i s competitive and al striv e to win but thi s was not an overriding factor Many involved themselve s in the plays to satisfy themselves whether actresses producers or backstage workers One therefore cannot overlook the House s not obtaining places and these were Tiddeman Berr y and Cato Each Hous e performed well and enjoyed themselves , which i s necessary in a Drama contest Overall, the Drama Festiva l turned out to be as exciting, colourful and as intense as Sport s Day!
Speech and Drama are linked and s o it i s impossibl e to delete the Englis h Speaking Board Exams Traine d and untrained speech girl s learn prose or poems and lead different book s in readines s for thi s informal exam Thi s type of assessmen t i s different from most in that the student can completely relax and enjoy the atmosphere, It might soun d unusual, but no-one fail s and the majority are given exceptional grades Ther e s audience participation, question s are invited after girl s have given their talks, and entrants are also marked on their interest in other people's exam Thu s the candidate doesn't jus t stand up, recite her programme and finish Sh e must be present during each student' s exam Outsider s were welcome and thi s added to a pleasant, entertaining couple of days
S o much could be written about Drama at M.L.C because of the growing interest within the school Let' s face it a couple of years ago it was second to music sport and other extracurricula r activities But now with enthusiastic helpfu teachers and available scholarship s for all ages, the field i s flourishing Girl s are realising it s importance and thi s i s supported by the large number of participants Not only within the schoo l but outside , the subject i s developing and literally "cryin g out " for more followers Tertiar y colleges are opening continually offering different areas of the field to specialise in Drama teachers are in great demand and that shoul d interest everyone T o think that something as fascinating as Drama, usuall y a hobby, can become one' s career Come on all those who haven't ever involved themselve s or experienced an "Openin g Night" take an interest in 1975 and you'l l see what I've been talking about!

Netball
Thi s year's Netball seaso n commenced with approximately thirty senio r girls , which was very pleasing and most promising We were able to have four senio r teams in contrast to last year's effort of only producing one team Th e Junior s entered two Unde r 15 teams and the Unde r 13' s amounted to three teams
Th e Senio r "A sid e gave a fine performance, not being defeated (even doubled the scor e of M.C.E.G.G.S. who had not been defeated for nine years) Th e team showed great promis e as there were only three H.S.C girls Helen Manuell (V.C.) Pam Robinso n and Denis e Hendri e (C.)
Anne Manuell and Bronni e Hewitt both displayed super b form with their goaling not spasmodically but consistentl y during every match
Su e Buchanan i s a wonder sh e moves with s o much pace and Sandy Cooper flie s high to catch the ball Thes e two did a marvellou s job of moving the ball down the court Th e defending end did not let the team down either, with Pam Robinson , Helen Manuell and Denis e Hendrie defending and deflecting the ball consistently
It i s only hard wor k that bring s succes s and guided by our coach Mrs Armstrong we were able to win the Senio r "A " Inter-Schoo l Netball
Th e "B " team wa s captained by Jan Scott and vice-captain wa s Gail Bates: "C " team Irene Jan (C.) Gayle Barr y (V.C.) Both teams were undefeated Th e "D " team with Gaynor Wood (C.) only lost one match Unde r 15's , Jenny Bes t (C), Cathy Loveday (V.C.) Under 13's , Su e Grace (C) and Wendy Hoggarth (V.C.) were again undefeated Under 15 team wa s coached by Mis s Zachariah and Mrs Boardman, and the Unde r 13' s by Mrs Maddison
Our sincere thank s go to Mrs Armstrong , Mis s Zachariah, Mrs Boardman and Mrs Maddison for giving up their valuable time in supporting us Th e girl s do appreciate their willingnes s to contend with s o many player s in arranging teams and practices We also had expert umpiring with outside schoo l umpires Than k you to Mrs Perks Mrs Trembath Mrs Morri s and Mrs Manuell
Congratulations to all girl s who represented M.L.C Wel l done, I am sur e each gir l has gained more knowledge of the game, and everyone enjoyed thi s year immensely Good luck and every succes s to the future netball teams

Cato may not finis h on top of the ladder in 1974, but we certainly won't finis h at the bottom—especially when it comes to enthusias m and team work
We dived into the year by starting with the swimmin g sport s under the leadership of Su e Williams , who organised thing s really well and on the night many new faces were seen both n the lanes and in the vocal squad

In the Inter-Hous e Drama Festival Cato was creatively led by Sall y Cohen with the help of Sharo n McGlinchey In thi s scene the junior s once again did well gaining second place

Later in second term the choral contest took much of our time as group s practised regularly for som e weeks Heather Pooley strongl y supported by Ly n Barrington helped the junior s gain second place Merri n Greenhil l was in charge of the senior s and had numerou s assistant s — Aliso n Pooley Alex Burke Li z Warr Trici a Shevenan Robyn Clinch and stil l others Everybody cooperated s o wel that we had a most successfu l morning
Throughou t the year the junior s have been very enthusiasti c with Jenn y Inch thei r captain and Rhonda Brown her assistant Without their keen participation Fitchett would not have been able to achieve the successe s that have been mentioned Th e senio r vice-captain, Leigh Indian, has given me great support, as have many other girls Thank s Leigh and all Als o to our senio r Hous e Mistresses , Mis s Pratt and Mrs Hellmann, and to Mis s Kirby , junio r Hous e Mistress , thank you for your support and ever-ready help
And now, to those who are leaving — good luck — and to those who wil l be back next year — keep up the pep steam and team effort

Nevile
T o me the outstanding characteristic of Nevile Hous e in 1974 has been the willingnes s of a large number of girl s to participate resultin g in a very happy and successfu l year for us Whenever volunteers were required, whether for a crossbal l team, or backstage work, they rolled up in large number s which was good to see
Tru e to past form, Nevile did not star in either athletics or swimming , but we all tried hard, and I must thank Fion a Roger s and Debbie Yor k for handling the mammoth task of organising these events
Drama has always been one of Nevile' s more successfu l ventures and thi s year was no exception We were proud to be the only Hous e to write it s own play (an adaptation from "Th e Magic Pudding" ) —Jenn y Hood' s script wa s great fun to act and obviousl y popular with the audience We wil l long remember Fran' s performance as the redoubtable Puddin ' and congratulate our producer Jan Hisco x and the rest of the cast on an amusing production that earned u s third place
Unfortunately our baseball team has yet to get off the mark with a win, but I hope the team found the time given enjoyable and worthwhil e and thank s go to Wendy Robertso n and Helen Price Tenni s was more successfu with our team finishin g second under the captaincy of Su e Rollo
Second term brought rain and — the hockey season Nevile' s team, most ably led by Pam McCredie, has show n a remarkable improvement both in spiri t and ability and finishe d second after an undefeated season Disappointingly the Tabl e Tenni s victory eluded u s by one point only, and Nevile finally finishe d second to Krom e after a most successfu l seaso n captained by Su e Neales (better luck next time!) Our Netball team found the oppositio n jus t too good for us, but the enthusias m show n was really encouraging and I would like to thank Debbie Yor k for her organisation
Th e prosaic subject of Publi c Transpor t seemed to suit the talents of Nevile' s Debating Tea m and with our decisive victory over Tiddeman, we gained an overall second place Ter m II certainly ended on a high note for Nevile with the choral contest After a lot of preparation and frustration our budding musician s excelled themselves finishin g second Our excellent result s n the masse d singing demonstrates the great support from the
whole Hous e and I shoul d like to thank Marion and Kare n Cutts, our Musi c Captains and all other pianist s and conductresse s for their hard work
Th e Hous e continues to support the A.F.S Scheme We were sad to farewell Janice Hiscox who i s spending a year "Dee p in the Heart of Texas " but it was good to welcome back Gil l Brian t from her year in the U.S.A
Perhap s in third term Nevile might gain that elusiv e victory, and our best wishe s are extended to Chri s Morris , Jenn y Hood and Su e Neales—ou r Squash , Volleyball and Cricket Captains
Th e Juniors , led by Su e Howlett and Merri n Wilson , have had a happy and promisin g year (we are cultivating our Raelene Boyle s and Evonne Goolagongs—othe r House s take note ! I) I shoul d like to thank all the junior s and hope that thei r support and enthusias m wil l continue as they move up the school Thank s also go to Mrs Ashto n and Mrs McNeary for their watchfu eye over the affairs of the House and I would personally like to thank Fran McCredie our Vice-Hous e Captain for her help and encouragement
Th e Hous e syste m at M.L.C help s to enrich schoo l life by providing extra-curricular activities that are available to every girl, whatever ability sh e might have I hope that everyone who has become involved in Hous e events has enjoyed the new friendship s and fun that goes with joining an eager team of "Nevilites"
Bes t of luck for next year Keep up the good work

Tiddeman
Once again Tiddeman has had a successfu year, not from the aggregate sid e of thing s perhaps, but we have al enjoyed ourselve s trying valiantly to maintain the standards of previous years
We began sport s field combat playing baseball and tennis
The n the Olympic Poo l was invaded by screaming red-hatted figures with Foonie Chong, our swimmin g captain, in the lead
Although we might not have achieved great wins , everybody found hersel f shor t of voice for the next few days
Fro m the pool sid e we migrated on to the stage for the Senio r and Junio r Hous e Drama Festivals Th e producer s must be thanked for all their hard work
Now back to the sport s field for Sport s Day Thi s wa s again an experience that no one wanted to miss Fay Curnow had the team running laps of the ova in the early hour s of the morning well before the big day B y lunch time of the all-important day Tiddeman was being duly rewarded for it s efforts It had hit the FRONT ; however as the day progressed the other House s overtook us merely because of their larger numbers In spite of this Tiddeman fought on with enthusias m and plenty of vocal support
After returning from a restful vacation the members of Tiddeman took the other House s to task again thi s time playing netball table tenni s and hockey Th e Senio r table tenni s achieved the place of equal second and the Junio r netball firs t place
Congratulations to these teams
B y the time Ter m II wa s nearing an end our loud and husk y voices began to harmonise as Mandy Barnett and company trained them to the gentle tones that graced the wide-eyed audience in the Assembl y Hall Thank s to everybody for their time and work
Maylyn Lam i s to be thanked for gaining third position for Tiddema n in the oratory, and for encouraging the debating
Bev Alexander i s thanked for getting all the Junior s together
The y have worked hard and well thi s year sometime s performing better than the Seniors
A s a final sho w of determination Tiddema n wil battle against the other House s again in Ter m II I in cricket, squash and volleyball
Lastly , I must thank all the Hous e member s who have taken part or given vocal support in events throughout the year and I wis h you all the best for 1975 hoping that it i s even more successfu l than 1974

Whoever said "i t takes all kind s to make a world" , must have been to boarding school, because it certainly takes all kind s to make a boarding house
Thi s year has slipped by s o quickly, it i s almost unbelievable We seem to have had a couple of break-throughs thi s year For a start it has not been necessar y to be surrounde d by hot water bottles in bed during the winter months, as we now have the luxur y of heating throughout the boarding house Ther e i s nothing better than coming back to a warm room at the end of a schoo l day
Another change s our Sunda y programme Our Chapel service i s stil l held each Sunda y evening but we go to family church on alternate Sunday mornings Thi s gives u s extra time for sport, fresh air and some extra study
During second term the Prefects went on a week-end camp with Mis s Lancaster Thi s proved very successfu l and we all got to know each other for better or worse — I feel certain better ruled over worse ! Whil e there we were able to celebrate Mis s Lancaster' s birthday
One Sunday a group of boarders took on the exhausting task of taking some smal l children from the 'Hig h Ris e Flats to Healesvill e Sanctuary Th e excitement on the kids ' faces when they saw mountains and kangaroos made the effort really worthwhile
Birthday night — wa s birthday night! We hope the staff and day girl s enjoyed the performance as much as most of the boarders who in some way or other took part in the celebrations 'Terr y Tinse l and the Flops' was the firs t performance in the matrics' item —'Ne w Faces' Th e faces were familiar enough but the get-up was somewhat unfamiliar Als o starrin g in 'New Faces' two of the more prominent prefects attempted a striptease act—much to the excitement of the crowd — but thi s was rather an anti-climax with an unexpected ending
Th e organizing of the boarders' dance always seem s to be hard work trying to rais e enough money to cover costs I'd like to thank all the girl s on the Dance Committee for making the dance possible
Now that the thanking has started I would like to include all the prefects, Joy, Sal , Jen, Fay, Foonie, Melva, Bron , Claire and Li z and thank them for their help throughout the year
Th e Boarding Hous e Mistresse s cannot be left out, and I would also like to thank them—it' s a wonder they haven't all turned grey with kid s never being ready for bed, untidy rooms , late for prep. etc. etc Jus t remember there' s always time for reform!
And a big thank you to Mrs Webber who i s leaving u s thi s year Upper Towe r won't be quite the same without Mrs Webber' s supervisio n of tidy room s and her cheery face If there wa s ever any way that sh e could help you out sh e would do so without hesitation and when she leaves it won't be only the girl s who'l l mis s her — her fis h wil l feel quite neglected
And last but not least I would like to give an extra big thank you to Mis s Lancaster who does more than anyone realizes Mis s Lancaster i s also leaving u s thi s year Sh e ha s been Lady Superintendent for some years and on behalf of the mistresse s and girl s we would like to wis h her every happines s n the future
There' s a saying that goes:
"I f we didn't have trouble s now and then: how'woul d we know when we were happy?"
Well, I am sur e Mis s Lancaster has had her trouble s trying to keep count of 130 girl s for many years—an d now she'l l be able to si t down to a nice quiet meal without the din of voices in the background plu s the few squeal s every now and then
I hope that all goes wel for everyone next year Good luck to the 4th and 5th Former s and Matric s in their exams

Sun-gilded leaves
float on balmy breezes — garnet and gold, sepia and sunlight lilt in the warm, scented autumn afternoon, Crab-apples glow redly and golden juices hum in ripened fruits. Clean, lucid sunrays play on green, glinting grasses as the light blue hazy field of sky Sings the season onward.

I watched the smoke ring Float through space Projected from moist lips Into softness, unreachable And as it grew The finer it was And filled my heart with anxiety
Comparing our love
With a circle of fascination
Until the finest particles broke And floated into our minds.

Rich red fruits hang heavy with fermenting juices — insects cluster drunkenly at their soft fleshy fissures. The nectars and meads of autumn are in full flow, the seasonal wines and saps flush this happy valley with saffron and bronze zest. Birds piping times of pleasure; The sharp, amber fumes of earth; Golden bees with sombrous buzz and throbbing sunset soak the air in glowing exuberance, And nature dances in rich decay before The Rape of Winter.

Spherical shine

With every hue of the rainbow, The bubble charms and delights
Until the spell is broken, The bubble burst, and the world goes on indifferently

Phoenix Downwind
Ripped from the womb of sky, Flaming on humps of hills, Exploded sun —
Remnants of cloud
Flung red and glowing, Chunks of stars and fire, Shoulders of land; Moon-pulled sea; Feathers of a flying bird
Gleam burnished jasper rose Stroked by fingers of burnt wind.

The insect pitters on dotted feet, scaling The vast wall.
With legs intertwining rhythmically, It scurries onward, Slithering in and out of carved letters Ecstatically.
Beads seep out and frost the tiny insect With perspiration.
Globules slithering over minute threads Of hair,
Each drop hanging perilously On the tip.
His black eyes dart energetically, Tongue quivering, And miniscule breaths wisp in and out
Of his mouth,
Vibrating steadily with his labour, As he marches steadily, microscopically, on, upon his army of plodding boots.
Outcast
Open the door Let me come in, And shelter, From the cold, cruel world, I am a person, Just like you.
Perhaps in the past our people were enemies, But that was then. This is now.
So open your closed, Dark, mysterious, door, And let me come in. Or let the light, Your laughter, your gaiety Come out, so at least I can share, And be someone.
Reflection
Continuous motion of clouds growing, greenness pulsating flower fertility. Wind movement weaves sunlight into hair, herons call like oars rubbing oarlocks.
Boating thoughts on dark lakes lapping pink sand shores, Wet sunset oars dropping pearls of molten water.
But lakes of mind have no beach no tide.
Thought is like a marsh fisherman who's lost his steering-pole.

Iris flower
The lacy gossamer web crowning a lithe green stem Springs open, Drops back, Revealing its treasure —
Firm furled verdant bud, Exuding life, tingling with vitality
Dew-sprinkled, breeze-fluttered petal-buds unfold Golden fingers, Imparting their secret for the eye to behold —
White virgin frailty enclosed in perfect symmetry, Encompassed by soft translucency. Three furry caterpillar tongues
Inch their way to the petal-tips
To show all the world
Their sacred gift.
I am resting on a see-saw —
Any moment the delicate balance will be upset
And I'll go plummeting to the depths of depression. How much easier it is to fall
Than to climb, painfully
Step by step up the shaly road, Tired feet slipping
On the loose stones —
Pieces of past successes shattered. Climbing, trudging
Afar is the tiny pinprick of light
As one sees at the entrance of a shaft.
The tiny point of success, Summit of happiness. As I approach, it recedes Will I never reach it?
Tall Buildings
Structures tower into the sky, Thrusting upwards to the heavens, Blue expanse above. Shiny steel binds them, Holding together, Restricting the potential power Of muscular girders; Sharp, angular, Brown glass flashing in the sun, Like drawn swords.

Listen.
I hear strange murmurings rising and falling cries, half choked and tearing sobs from Out There — do you think it means anything? charismatic names scraps of melody pathetic, frightened rhyme drift in down amongst our confined innocence how Interesting it all sounds! Look.
I see shadows blurred moving rhythmically fluctuating intensely, apathetically in and out reflected from Out There — what do you suppose is going on? many-hued characters weaving variedly complex patterns of thread looming clearer to us preserved in amber potential how Exciting it all looks!
Taste.
The flavours are exotic to us whose appetites have been nurtured on silver and green, who were quite cocky of our connoisseur tastes —
All the savoury ingredients of the elements, beauty, loveliness, envy, love, mixed and blended and rolled into one large sphere
Yet how bitter it all seems.
Tim& accelerates until we look up to find '
Life beckoning —
And all those bright features over the years clearly delineated tarnished and somehow faded, we look through a cloud of disillusionment to find the glass house of anticipation closing without us, leaving us at the mercy of Life
Winter
The winter has come
It tiptoed in barefoot
And brought with it
The wind, frost and rain.
This is the season of bare trees
That huddle close together. They are open in their nakedness And forgotten in their ugliness. Shadows abundant You are alone in the mist
Lying amongst fallen leaves
That are dejection at its peak.
No, there is no warmth within now
And the trees bear only whispers
This is the winter, friend; The season of closed fists.

Brown Bird
An immortal family of brown sparrows together, each one the other, contently chirpy, to be so; running on unsteady yellow stick-feet darting, falling and then, quickly running three more, unsteady adventuresome steps, hopping, rolling, small wings nervously twitching, on a new, mysterious, bumpy and slippery dimension, — Unlike dust or seeds or weeds. Unlike their celestial, infinite wind, the space, the familiar egg-blueness, of a sky — strange; similar aloneness shared; Unlike the for ever reaching, welcoming repose of woody knots, twisted knotty twigs, heavy branches, green, exuberant, flesh leaves, all which feed upon the heavy aroma of deep moist earth, moss.
And small earthy brown birds, (exploring the steep new corrugated garage roof) — the link between a gentle and familiar assurance and the infinite ethereal beauty of wind, space and nothingness — yet only afraid of man's coldness.
Haiku
Under the shower; my thoughts are rained on: mushrooms springing from deep sleep.
Time
Time goes on, Past eternity; Stand still, The seconds tick; Walk on, Time does too: It's deep. You think, And grasp the meaning, Almost then Like time, It slips away; Like sleep it's dark. Like day it's light. It slips, Quickly When you want it, To stay, eternally. But drags, When you can't wait. Clocks don't keep time; Time keeps itself. Forever And ever.
Normal?
I've always said normality is just a state of mind, for one's idea of "normal" folk means folk of one's own kind. We all nod in agreement that "we're normal, without doubt".
I wonder how long it will take before someone finds out that no one's "normal" in this life; we just made up the word to hide the ever-present fact that we are all absurd
for a moment the still, cold night is motionlessly silent; no sound piercing its chilling poignancy; no movement breaking its crystal clarity; the moon, precisely defined above, bears mute witness, but it too holds its breath over the suspended scene; I exhale and watch my breath distil, frosty white vapour ascends and dissolves into the stillness.
And then, quite near, a voice cries "Mama".
Yellow
Yellow is the colour of a lemon, And the colour of some dry hay. Yellow is the sand on the beach, The colour of a pencil and the sun Rising for the new summer's day. Yellow is a bright colour That lightens up the room, Yellow is a safe colour and is very easily seen, Yellow are the traffic signs That show us what to do.
I like yellow.
Things I Love
I love the cry of the sea-gulls; I love the splash of the sea; I love the sweet morning music, And the birds, singing in the trees. I love an early Spring morning; The coolness of fresh morning dew; I love the crackling of fires, And the colours of a rainbow, too.
The Pattern
A line to make a figure, to stretch one's imagination; Joining a series of thoughts, to make an incomplete description in your mind; Thinking fast, making sure that all detail is eaten into pictures of memory; Getting clearer, only a few more, thousand, broken pieces, to be put into a figure of reality. Growing, the strain is put to rest. Ability adds parts for perfection. It is completed. All rests.

The Cobb
The road is long, flat, silent.
Tall telegraph poles step aside, like sentries; silent.
A lone cloud skips over the straight horizon. Burnt grass, golden springs from the ochre red mud of The marsh.
From a lonely clump of trees emerges a white form. So graceful and beautiful.
A long slim neck stretches out, white, cool The wings flap, once; then it sinks to the seclusion of the marsh.
Silence, Alone.
The Queen
Floating, silent, graceful, But dark and deep and haunting.
Mysteriously fog creeps by me. Its cold, crispness makes me shiver
Never-ending clouds, Icy, but soft and light

Day and Night
The Golden sun rises, It is morning.
There is movement upon the earth, Animals move restlessly, looking for food.
Then, people start moving, The whole world comes to life.
While the sun moves higher in the sky, Things start to slow down.
Then, finally, it is time for us to rest.
Everything is quiet
The world is dark,
And, nothing stirs.
She holds many secrets, no one will ever know, She is delicate as she tiptoes lightly round, Swallowing everyone she passes Her creeping movements frighten me I feel lost, helpless, But then she melts away, The queen of ice and cold is no more.
Her silent gracefulness has disappeared. She is gone forever more.
CAROLY N HUTCHENS , I.E
Fog
Cotton wool hiding the world from me.
Wet and soggy, like it's been washed. It surrounds you when you go outside. It's like ghosts, with its gripping hands. It clings around you, and hurts your eyes.
Silver Spider
A spider, all silver, sits down and spins
A silver web from silver strings. Her legs move forward. Her legs move back
To gather the thread from her silver sac. Then she's off again and her legs move quicker
As she strives to make her material thicker. The web is larger, it sparkles in the sun And at last! Her task is done.
N DAVIS , II.D
Fogs up your glasses, and dampens your clothes.
People generally go inside, When the fog comes out and covers the world. You oan get lost for hours on end, in the fog.
Then when you think you see something familiar It turns out to be something quite new.
You can't hide from the fog, in fact it's impossible!
Nobody can hide from the fog, when it comes!

Perspective
The soft melodic breeze touches my face
With its countless smooth fingers, Stroking, caressing, a sensuous experience. I look behind me, and see
A small, scraggy girl, all ruffled curls, And dirt, and thongs, and beaming.
She chases a Christmas-fly, catches it, Pulls the wings off, shows no one in particular
The fairy wings she found.
Freckles, icypoles, dust, dolls and grass —
These are her substance.
The starfish hands grasp an airy dandelion "clock", And her cheeks pout in a funny way
As she blows all the beauty off it.
The sun touches her face, and mine, Weaving itself through the leaves, And I see the light of it.

Canst thou not see beyond my grieving eyes, Which mirror feelings deep within my heart
The loving hate, the hating love, which cries Aloud, and tears my patient soul apart?
\Ne know each other well but not at all, The character and features which are thine Reflect in me and with despairing call, Respond to echoes of that grief of mine.
But through our likeness, thou canst reach me not And loving preludes into anger melt, Our aching hearts to bitter fragments shot, By unresponsive overtures unfelt
Reach out to me before it is too late —
Ere sacred love turns to eternal hate.
Beachcomber
An early beachcomber treads along the virgin sand; Eyes to the ground,
Engrossed in his meticulous search for the sea's worthless treasures,
Cuttlefish; oyster-shells or berry-bobbled sea-weed
Residue of the ocean's nightly enguifment of the warm, white, sand.
The piercing cry of a lone gull breaks the perfect silence
The man disturbs himself from his hunt to admire the sparkling water.
Clear, shimmering, water
Refreshing, blue-green, water
Flashes of quicksilver dance amongst the shallows
Giddy in the gurgling whitewash.
Further out where big fish lurk, The sea rests calm
Serene grey mirror;
The man makes his way up to the spinnifex-covered sand dunes,
Sits, watches, hands on knees
Letting the delicious beauty of the glowing sun
And the crystal-clear water sink in.

Thinking
Lying in bed on Saturday night — thinking
Enjoying myself immensely, engulfed in my own thoughts
Thinking is one of the most enjoyable pastimes in the world.
There is such a wide variety of thoughts to choose from
Thinking isn't conservative
You can think on anything or anyone you want
Thinking is like telling secrets to yourself.
There are two types of thinking —
Serious, thoughtful thinking and nothing-in-particular thinking.
Nothing-in-particular thinking is the better, it doesn't take much thought
Letting your mind meander along the border of dreams.
I think nothing-in-particular thoughts at night; I think about nothing for a while, but very soon something comes along, then something else; I usually go to sleep thinking, and sometimes I even think in my sleep.
In the morning I wake and try to recall my thoughts of the previous nine or so hours,
But I can't.
Well, it doesn't really matter, anyway
It was nothing-in-particular.
The bird
Casts a shadow of serenity over all..
But remains distant, Calm,
Over its agitated surroundings.

Hate
He casts his cold eyes
Upon the unsuspecting.
Digging with his icy spade
In the feelings of the innocent.
His black sheet of hatred
He casts before their eyes
They see no more of love and sense. "I hate you!" they cry.
He moves about with black cloak Mysterious, unveiled. Striking quickly, surely
With his gleaming blade of steel. Breathing down the necks
Of all who leave ways open, And down with blade and cloak
To lose them in the darkness.

The sun illuminates his pink ears And beats heavily on to his sleek back. Awake and alert, But cautious;
Dart-like eyes, transfixed — His tongue hangs, Drooping with all intentions, His damp nose shivers At the tantalizing scent.
His ears reach for ever to hear the excitement Crouching
He waits
Daisies and Dew
like tears crystal clear falling from above settling gently, quietly, no fuss, embedding themselves on the soft, sleeping, perfection below, waking them from sleep wearily the white arms unfold stretching, giving themselves fully, completely, body and soul.
The Bird
As graceful as dancers Is the one who answers
To the call of the whispering breeze.
Along it glides, On the wind it rides
As it answers the restless call.
Easily majestic,
And really fantastic
Is the one that heeds the summons.
It's inspiringly peaceful
As it floats — so graceful
To answer the wind that prevails.
And then in flight It glides out of sight.
I would like to fly and also answer the call.
• The Sea
The hypnotic ebb captures my vulnerable mind — as the whispered words of the waves drags my soul to the mysterious depth.
The slow and steady death, that occurs, as I am torn away from all reality, to live as one with the sea.
How strange, that her waves work as messengers — so innocent, yet wickedly seducing. And how strange, that they can take a life — pull a man down, and clasp themselves around his mouth — sucking his life-giving breath out of his helpless body.
When her messengers become demons, and pound against the land, possessing man's life and soul, Her heart is calm, yet domineering, as she governs the surface —
The surface that infatuates so many, un«ware of the heart that lies underneath.

Einsamkei t
Ich stand an einer Ecke, Einer Ecke der Welt. Und stand allein. Niemand sprach zu mir. Niemand sah mich an. Niemand horte wie ich schrie. Ich war allein. In einer Welt voller Menschen Stand ich allein.
Ich war anders — Und musste so bleiben.
Translation Loneliness
I stood on a corner, A corner of the world. And stood alone
No one spoke to me. No one saw me.
No one heard how I cried. I was alone.
In a world full of people I stood alone.
I was different — and had to remain so.
German Poem (Self-written)

Love
What is this state of bliss To which we all allude? Do we struggle towards it, Clasp it tightly, And then let it slip silently past us Through death? Does it keep us from The depths of depression, Invigorate us, And then plummet us To the turbid depths Of desperation? This state of Utopia; The caressing waters Gliding the boats To Avalon.
Where are they to be found?
Do we plunge wantonly into every stranger's eyes And hope?
And when we find only the Fiery waters of the Acheron, How do we manage resiliently to surface, choking, Piece together the myriad of shattered pieces Of our lives,
And although anguished and tortured, And comforted by sagacity, Continue our existence?
VALBOR G DOWELL , S.V.J
Lu Lune se leve
Une nuit, j'ai vu une lumiere, Brillante dans le ciel.
Son visage profond comme la mer, Sa douceur comme miel. Blanche comme une perle de /'orient, Et si mysterieuse, Elle ecoutait les tendres vents Qui chantaient une berceuse.
Kindersicht
Warum weinst Du, mein Kindchen?
Dein Leben ist ganz voll
Von allem, was Du haben magst. Sag' mir, was ich tun soil!
Du hast ein grosses, nettes Haus, teure Spielzeuge auch, und alles, was Du essen kannst', f'ullt Deinem kleinen Bauch. Aber, Du weinst noch immer. Ach, mein Kind, was ist denn los? ,,Vati, ich seh' keinen Sonnenschein. Die Menschheit wird zu gross ."

Owl
Sedate and aware, the graduate sits omniscient in the glen.
A liliputian of a bird his plumage is surreal, fine yet ordinary — a mantel of curiosity obscuring two watery pools of knowledge.
The notary bird blinks, the saucers reflect the green serenity of the glen in foliage. His tiny scanners strain the atmosphere detecting an alien presence. The downy gliders ruffle gently as a shadow chills the earth. The shuddering bough creaks and urges departure — his beak winces, mincing silent sounds. The bough once a kind pedestal is devoid of any presence, other than minute engravings in its wood where tiny tarsals gripped; and a single plume which is whisked away by the wind as if a token in return for allowing the owl to remain so long, uninterrupted and alone.

And Fred Steps Out
Oh Fred! Our intrepid Fred!
The praises were flowing as once again Fred Fearless made that dauntless decision. Fred was ready to step out and onward — for his rights, revenge and peace of mind. (He never could seem to uncover that elusive piece of peace.)
But this was it; Fred knew it; We knew it; We knew Fred knew it.
Was it his gallant grin, or his subtle smirk? — whatever — this was indeed his last vital chance.
So Fred stepped out — not with your ordinary run-othe-mill type of step,, BUT, with a brave, bold, bounding "filace of the left foot four inches (Fred hadn't gone metric yet) in front of the right. And Fred did it! — Fred made it!
Oh, how his ego expanded — swelling bigger and bigger — massive, huge — the adjectives were lost in its immensity. Fred had made that step in life that all Freds must eventually make — he had managed to tear his body (such agony) away from the warmth and, oh, the comfort of the hearth-rug to his food dish, a few excruciatingly long steps away.
Oh Fred! Our intrepid Fred!

Colour is nothing
'Tis not the colour of your skin
But it is what you have within I would not be white and mean But would rather be kind and green
For people who are black you see Are just the same as you and me
So if you're brown or red or yellow
You're just as good as the other fellow.

Edward Bear
I love my little teddy bear I call him Edward Bear
I don't think I could go to bed at night
When stars are shining bright without him. In the morning I wake up and Tuck Edward in his cot, Then off to school I go.
When I get home out he comes And I brush and comb him fluffy, Then bedtime comes
Under my arm he goes I hop into bed
And go to sleep.
Thanks to Edward Bear.

Introduction to Grouches
Grouches are grouchy
They are rather siouchy
They live in trash-cans
They don't eat hams.
Grouches are green
With no sheen
They have blunt teeth And short legs underneath.
It's a pity all grouches
Are grouchy and siouchy.

KAIJA KUCERS, GRADE 5B
This ugly creature Eats people's spines, Cooks them o'er fires, And eats them by nines.
His fingers are clammy, His hair is shocking, His teeth are blunt, And his toe-nails interlocking.
Trees
I like trees
Where you find hives for bees
LYNN RODWELL, GRADE 5B
Trees that flower and bud
Near Toads that dig in the mud. I like the way trees shape
If you measured them with a tape
They would be very high.
As I walk past trees I give a great sigh
The person who wears a crown
Should stop all this chopping down.
MICHAELA GREEN, GRADE 4B
The Lion
Stealthily does the lion creep
On his giant paws
Here he comes sneaking
Through the Jungle grass
The monkeys climb the trees
And throw coconuts on his head
He is very angry and roars in a rage.

The Sea
The sea crashes on to the beach
With a roar it comes down, Spray flying high.
Then it retreats like an army. It comes and tries and tries again, like a giant mouth.
Anything that's in its way is swallowed.

Your Grandmother! (1913)
AH IF T COULD ONLY HAVE STAYED THAT WAY
The othe Public Schools again, have agreed on a genera increase o schoo fees in view o the rise n salaries and n cos o living The M.L.C., however wil make NO INCREASE N ITS FEES unti the necessity for doing so becomes clearer
A NEGLECTED SUBJECT?
A new feature wil be added to this department for 1913 A SOCIAL CULTURE CLASS wil be formed under the very capable management of Miss Veitch The Course wil consist o instruction n wha may be called socia usages how o receive and entertain guests; to pay calls; to issue and o accep invitations; how a young lady may gracefully play her pa:t n the drawingroom and n the socia circle generally The lectures wil be practical simple wholesome and will be of very great value especially to girls from the country The fee fo this course is £1.5s per term, and the class s open to ladies who are not College students
OUR INHERITANCE
During the two yeais betwixt 1910-12 more than £3000 was expended n new buildings (the Hostel, the Domestic Science Department etc.) and n generally improving the equipment of the College Since the close o the schoo year o 1912 two new and spacious Tennis Courts have been completed, making fou in all A handsome building, to be called THE "GIRLS BLOCK", has been erected n the uppe playing ground t consists of a fine Gymnasium (scientifically equipped by the generosity of Mr Cox the father o an old studen o the M.L.C.) two beautifu Form-rooms and a fine Laboratory The cos of these additions o the College with other provisions made for the comfor of students and the more efficien conduct o the work o the College, exceeds £1500 The M.L.C wil begin the work o 1913 as one o the most—i no the most—complete, beautifully-equipped and efficient Schools fo Girls n Australia
WHO'S TOPS? GRANDMA OR YOU?
The ful results o the recen University Examinations are not yet published but the lists so fa show tha the M.L.C girls more than maintain the brilliant tiaditions o the College n the Junior Public Examinations the M.L.C has secured 22 Passes and 50 Distinctions n Geometry has 10 passes 6 Distinctions and no failures n Arithmetic 13 Passes, 6 Distinctions and no failures Only 29 Distinctions were taken in Physiology by al the colleges and schools represented n the Junior Public Examinations and 10 of these were won by M.L.C girls
I s clear, already, tha the results will be the best in the history of the College and they prove tha thoroughness of work is stil the characteristic of the M.L.C
HARD TIMES
The other Public Schools have agreed to adopt the New Zealand system and divide the Schoo Year into three Terms o a little ove thirteen weeks each with two vacations o a fortnight Bu this plan while i suits the Boys Schools with thei sports has many disadvantages for Girls Schools, especially fo a college like the M.L.C. which has so many residen students drawn from every par o Australia, from New Zealand, Fiji etc So for 1913 at least, the M.L.C wil keep o the familiar division of the schoo year into Four Terms of ten weeks each with the long mid-winte vacation The policy o Three Terms wil be considered afresh, and n the ligh o experience a the end of 1913

mathematics summer school
During January this year I had the opportunity of going to the National Maths Summer School held in Canberra There were 62 students attending (49 boys and 13 girls) from all over Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania, who had just completed 5th form We stayed at Bruce Hall, a residential hall at A.N.U., for the twelve days of the camp
The maths we studied was basically unrelated to high school syllabus maths — there were some involved problems of general interest and some work covered at the university The courses were designed to stimulate and broaden an interest in the subject An average day consisted of three 11/2-hour lectures and discussions, a study session and programmed activities in the evening However, this outline was varied to contain tours of the university departments and visits to the Academy of Science the National Library Parliament House and other such places of interest
The weekend was a holiday, with the exception of a few lectures We went into the country panning for sapphires on Saturday and, Sunday being completely free, many of us went sightseeing with small groups of friends
The camp gave us the opportunity of living and working with other students in a college situation We all had a tremendous time and have kept in touch with some of the friends we made by writing and attending reunions organized during the holidays
ANNETTE SHEARER, Hon.VI L
harrietville, 1974
Harrietville is a small town at the foot of Mt Hotham, where for the past twelve years the Mathematical Association of Vicloria has held an annual summer school On January 28, 1974, 86 students gathered at Spencer Street station and journeyed by train to Wangaratta and then by bus to the "Bon Accord Hospice" in Harrietville There we were introduced to our "teachers" and to what was to be home for the next five days
We had 16 hour-long lectures in all, covering interesting aspects of mathematics which are not included in the H.S.C syllabus Incl uded in the lectures were projective geometry games theory and linear programming The Olivetti computer proved very popular, with students spending hours trying to devise successful programmes for the computer In the evening we "tried" to solve mathematical puzzles
However, life was not only Maths After lectures everyone migrated to the icy cold river On the Thursday morning we went by bus to the top of Mt Hotham and began a nine mile hike back to Harrietville, 4,000 feet below us Most of us arrived back three to four hours later totally exhausted
The main event of the camp was the social on Friday night It proved very entertaining since this was also the night of the "Miss Harrietville" quest The contestants were amazingly feminine despite the fact that they were males
We left Harrietville on the Saturday Everyone was sad, obviously the camp (including the Maths lectures) had been thoroughly enjoyed and everyone wished the camp had been longer We hope that Sue Scott, who will be going to Harrietville next January, will enjoy it as much as we did
