from the senior prefect

layout: Chris Wade Chan Chwee Lian Sue Hogg Glenys Pickering

The prefect is often seen merely as a disciplinarian , only too ready to give an ordermark for what a girl would consider a trivial matter of uniform. Unfortunately, the other aspects of her role are often overlooked in girls ' eagerness to condemn the prefect system .

Fundamentally, the prefect 's role is concerned with leadership.

It is her duty to be an example in her relationships with other girls and in her behaviour for the students of M.L.C . to follow .

The privilege of wearing a gold star implies that in return for the religious , academic and soc:al opportunities afforded at school , she makes a contribution through the assumption of responsibility. She is a representative at various official functions , such as Anzac Day services, and is expected to maintain the school's image. She is also involved with organisation. It it is necessary for prefects to perform tram duty for the sake of girls' safety and also to make sure that each girl is wearing the correct uniform so as to maintain the school's public image. At school functions , such as the Annual Church Service and Speech Night , the prefect participates directly in the activity.

It is most important to emphasize that the prefect is the elected representative of the Higher .School Certificate students, and as such, has the right to expect the support not only of her electors but also of all students. Girls are free to bring their problems to the prefect who would respond with discretion . However, this is not to say that the prefect system is irreproachable or that the school cannot be improved . If girls want to make a positive contribution to the school, they are given every opportunity to be interested and offer suggestions for its improvement.

As the prefect represents a direct way of communicating with the administration, girls are encouraged to utilize this opportunity.

M.L.C. can only exist successfully if girls show their support by being interested in every aspect of school life.

Miss Barbara F. Sutton,

During 1972 I have been able to take my Long Service Leave which has been due to me as a Methodist Minister for some years. I am grateful to the Church Conference and the College Council that this was possible. For the period of my leave the Vice-Principal, Miss B. F. Sutton, was appointed Acting Principal, and under her able guidance, supported loyally by the Teaching Staff, the work of the College has been splendidly maintained .

Accompanied by Mrs. Woodgate I was able to journey overseas and we spent much time, particularly in U.S.A. and in England, in visits to schools and libraries where I was able to evaluate current educational trends. We travelled by air from Melbourne to London, and in U.S.A. we stopped at San Francisco, Washington and Boston. In each centre we were able to visit selected schools, both Government and Independent, as well as universities, and useful contacts were also made with a number of educational associations.

In England and Wales, when for a month we toured by car, we were able to visit most of the Methodist Schools in addition to selected Government schools.

In all these places we noted the special provision which is being made for Form VI students and the opportunities which are structured to promote development in responsibility.

Of course, we spent time in sight-seeing also. We enjoyed a coach tour of thirty-one days through eight countries of Europe and then another drive from London to Edinburgh. We often gazed upon places where the history of which we had read was enacted. In wonder we looked at the achievements of the past and we would have been glad to spend a much longer time in the art galleries of Rome, Florence, Madrid and Paris.

We returned home by sea and relaxed in the long voyage around Africa. By chance I was called upon to be an unofficial chaplain and in this way experienced contact with many new Australians.

In England we met old friends and made new ones.

A group of M.L.C. Old Collegians welcomed us in London, we spent a happy time with relatives in Devon enjoying the English summer, and we visited the places of special interest to Methodists as we followed the trail of John and Charles Wesley. And now back at M.L.C. we hope that there will be a chance to share somP. F:>f om experiences with you.

R. A. W. WOODGATE

B.A. (Hons.), Dip.Ed.

senior prefects' report During the year a number of changes have occurred in the prefect body. The first big surprise was when Mandy Sampson returned to school, after having started at university, and was inducted as a Senior Prefect. This created history for the school, as never before have there been three senior prefects. We were immediately likened to the great triumvirate of Octavius Caesar, Mark Antony and Lepidus, of Roman days. However, we do not feel we are as corrupted as they were.

Jenny James left for the U.S.A. in July as an American Field Scholar. This left a gap that was quickly filled by two prefects from last year returning from the U.S.A. We were very pleased to have Sally Sheppard and Barb. Francis back again , and they made up for the loss of Jenny. However, the novelty of having these two back had hardly worn off when Barb. left school to go to work.

Being rather selfish, we tried to talk her out of it but we hope she enjoys it all the same.

During the year we have had many experiences, though some have been more enjoyable than others. There seems to be some aura about senior prefects that makes some girls very insolent, and this certainly makes life unpleasant for us. However, the enjoyable experiences have made up for this.

As this College year draws to a close we have heard the news of the appointment of our Vice-Principal, Miss B. F. Sutton, as the new Head Mistress of the Camberwell Church of England Girls' Grammar School.

It will be with very real regret that we will see Miss Sutton leave M.L.C. For twenty-seven years she has been one of our outstanding teachers and the excellent results gained by Miss Sutton's students, particularly in European History and English Literature, are an indication of her devotion and competence as a teacher.

In 1966, Miss Sutton was appointed Chief-of-Staff and in 1967 the College Council called her to the position of Vice-Principal. Her capacity and her skill for detailed planning were always evident in these demanding tasks. By her professional qualifications and her personal qualities Miss Sutton has won high respect among her colleagues, students, parents, and Old Collegians.

All at M.L.C. will join in extending warm congratulations to Miss Sutton and best wishes for her new appointment which she will take up at a time still to be decided in 1973.

Nicky and Kirsty were the first to attend an official function, which was a Rotary luncheon. They enjoyed ii immensely. We were all invited to a Forum at Caulfield Grammar which was very interesting and posed a lot of food for thought. It was also very informative as we met many of the head prefects and senior students from other schools, and we discussed a number of common problems. The other major functions to which we were invited was the Annual General Meeting of the Lord Mayor's Appeal Fund.

After the meeting we were introduced to Sir Rohan Delacombe and invited to a sumptuous afternoon tea which did not help our figures at all.

As the year has progressed the din of the library construction has often disrupted classes , but we have put up with it because next year we will have a wonderful new building. The only thing that upsets us and probably most H.S.C. students is that we will never be able to use it. However, ii will be of great use to next year's seniors and we do not begrudge them that.

It takes until third term to realise how quickly the year has gone; now suddenly the exams and Speech Night are only a few weeks away. We realise now how much we have forgotten to do at school this year, and although we thought we were putting all our effort into school life, we now realise this is not the case and feel as if we want to make up for it now.

However, as much as one feels one loves the school, there is still a pull of life and all ii holds, and no one in her final year can help but have a feeling of excitement and impatience to leave school.

Before leaving , we want to thank Mr. Woodgate and especially Miss Sutton, who has led the preftilcls and other girls of the school so successfully for much of the year. We would also like to thank all the prefects who have been a very reliable group of helpers, and the other girls in the school, too numerous to mention, who have supported us so faithfully.

s.c.m.

S .C.M's aims, this year, of sharing Jesus Christ and making Him known to girls at school , were carried out in various ways . It is hard to know how far we have accomplished these aims, but we know that there are many girls who benefited from these meetings.

The style of meetings varied and included some discussion times, and different speakers, one of whom was Mr. Greg Miles, speaking on his work and his experiences amongst the aborigines.

A casserole luncheon satisfied many hungry students, and we had a great time with some students from Burwood Teachers ' College, whose real and clear presentation of what Jesus can mean to us was readily received . A later meeting was something different and took the form of an inter-school buffet tea . About 75 students were greatly interested and excited by what they saw in the film " The Son Worshippers" and heard from the God Squad leader, John Smith , about the reality and meaningfulness of Christ. All who attended will agree that the others missed an inspiring evening .

Attendances fluctuated between 8 and 40 but all those who came to S .C.M. really enjoyed these Wednesday lunchtimes. I hope that attendances will increase in the future and that S.C.M. will play a vital part in school life next year .

My thanks to Mr. Trigg for all his patient help, to the committee for their ideas and help, and especially to all girls who made S.C.M. worthwhile this year.

ROB . INCHES, S.C.M. Secretary.

With the help and enthusiasm of both Mr. Lim and Fiona Scott, the United Nations Club has had several enjoyable functions this year. The first of these was a casserole luncheon to which overseas students were given a special invitation and at which a number of new names were added to the list of members. Late r in the year a soup stall was held which , though reasonably successful, was more appreciated by United Nations members who not only provided the soup but also consumed a large part of it.

Another successful scheme has been the buying of stamps donated to the United Nations Club. Thanks must go to the members of staff who offered to buy the stamps and also to Vivien Chung who kept up a steady flow of stamps all year. We had planned to take children from an inner suburban school on an excursion to the museum but, owing to unforeseen circumstances , this had to be cancelled .

All in all the United Nations, though having a mild success, has had a rather disappointing year, especially as far as enrolling new members is concerned . However, next year we hop e that membership will be built up particularly from the fourth and fifth forms .

wednesday devotional A small group of Staff and students has continued to meet each Wednesday morning in the Chapel before school. The opportunity for quiet reflection before the day's work begins is apprec iated by those who attend . Concern for people in today's world has been shown , against a background of Christian faith and doctrine .

This must continue to be a part of the life of M.L.C. although we may need to change the way in which this concern is expressed.

W. TRIGG

I am happy to report , without any undue prejudice , that this year has been the most successful year in Students ' Representative Council 's short history. This is due to the thought and confidence exercised by a number of girls in lhe abi lity of the S.R.C. to view and discuss various motions. Some girls have taken time to consider carefully the practicability and wording of a motion before coming to the S.R.C. for discussion. We have endeavoured to hold meetings regularly, and encouraged the attendance of non-S.R.C. members to such an extent that we had to change our meeting-place to the Biology Lab . Essentially, the S.R.C . has been doing more and has been active in the committee area, especially with the work of the Prefect System , and general information in reference to certain motions.

On behalf of the S.R.C. and the Executive , I would like to thank Mr. Woodgate for attending a few of our meetings beforEJ going overseas. Thanks must also go to Miss Sutton who has been most helpful and co-operative. I would like to thank the various S.R.C. members who have definitely helped the students, the Council , and the Executive to vo ice the students' feelings about particular motions throughout the year. I hope that the girls who have been in S .R.C . have gained something from participating in the Council, and that next year girls wi ll try to continue to develop the work of the S.R.C. and to maintain the enthusiasm created this year.

The fourteen Guides in the 8th Kew M.L.C. company had a most successful and enjoyable week-end camp at Donvale. This was one of the highlights of the year and along with cooking , camping was among the girls' favourite activit ies. (Cook ing , of course, is always followed by eating.) To help funds pikelets and sweets have been made and sold to the unsuspecting boarders.

One of the service projects which was undertaken during the year, was the collection of coathangers for a company in Carlton which was raising funds for a needed trip . Some of the Guides have been working hard at badges and among some of the varied ones which have been earned are Hostess, Cook, Rollerskater and Swimmer.

Our second Birthday was celebrated by showing slides of com pany activities, games and then having afternoon tea . The company is gradually find ing its feet in the district and it is hoped that guiding will carry on at the school and provide enjoyment for many more girls. This year has been a success, and the Guides would all like to thank Miss Lambe for her dedication and the untiring work she does for the company.

SILV ER AND GREEN . DECEMBER 1972 S I LVER AND GRE EN. DECEMBER 1972

Under the capable leadership of Miss Sutton and Miss Elton through the Senio r Society, girls have been able to enjoy and appreciate more sensitively the finer arts, namely literature and music.

The year began extremely well with a series of operas performed by the Australian Opera Company. Then in May tickets were obtained for Shakespeare's " King Lear" and " Love 's Labour's Lost" as presented by the Prospect Theatre Company from London . This was a unique opportunity to see " Love's Labour's Lost" in a very modern form, just as the modern setting of "The Tempest" presented by the Old Tote Company also prove d a fascinating experience, as the actors wore no make-up or period costumes , only plain white robes and there were no props. or scenery.

These were then followed by excursions to the Viaduct Theatre and the plays " A Streetcar named Desi re" , "Antony and Cleopatra" and " Death of a Salesman " were viewed with great interest by all.

Girls enjoyed the series of ballets presented by the Australian Ballet Company. The Senior Society has enabled girls in H.S.C. to broaden their appreciation of the various books and plays studied this year for English and English Literature, by arranging excursions to see the films of " The Leopard", " Ivan Denisovich ", "Lord Jim" , " Long Day's Journey into Night", "Oedipus Rex" and the play " The Crucible ".

Two exciting yet different forms of live entertainment were greatly enjoyed when girls saw Siobhan McKenna, and the Russian Festival.

Thus, the Senior Society has spent a fascinating year appreciating these arts and our thanks must be extended to Miss Sutton and Miss Elton for organising all the activities.

KATE CLEMENTS 15

drama As well as the usual activities in drama this year, we have also had the introduction of a new Director of Speech and Drama , Mrs . Wootton . She has brought with her many new ideas, and encouraged girls to take an interest in all aspects of theatre. Mrs. Wootton has also encouraged girls to bring more of their own ideas to their productions.

The first function for the year was the Senior House Drama Festival. For the first time girls had access to the lighting equipment and so, as well as working out the lighting plot themselves, the girls also carried out the technical side of the production . I felt this was one of the best points of the festival because it made the plays even more the girls' own production, and it also encouraged involvement from more members of the House.

GUIDES

MEMBERS OF THE LIBRARY COMMITTEE

The Festival was adjudicated by Mr. Harold Baigent who gave very constructive criticisms of all the plays and who also gave the producers of each play a detailed written report, mentioning all parts of production. Mr. Baigent's adjudication placed Berry House first. Their play was "Where The Cross Was Made" by Eugene O'Neill. Berry, of course, was to be commended for their fine acting, but they also introduced very interesting stage effects.

They had imaginative lighting ; in one part they used a strobe which the girls had built themselves in the physics lab . at school, and they made good use of the stage; they had actresses entering from the Orchestra Pit. These may not sound very revolutionary ideas but to have the courage and to carry them off is to be commended .

This year's drama class has been quite different from that of recent years. For the first section of the work the girls worked with movement in relation to rhythms and percussion instruments.

As of late the girls have moved on to some more dramatic work and are preparing an extract from " Under the Milkwood" by Dylan Thomas. The drama school is very proud of some rostrum blocks they have purchased for the drama students to use . These blocks can be used on stage as improvised furniture, trees, tunnels, etc. , and are an asset in mimes and improvisations.

With the introduction of Speech and Drama as a subject in fifth form it means that Drama is gradually playing a more important role in the school's curriculum. Third term promises some entertaining lunch-times because towards their approved activity the girls have decided to put on performances of "Blue Murder" and "King Midas" and these promise to be of the usual high standard.

This year's drama at M.L.C. has been full of new ideas and activities, and next year promises to bring even more, as well as increased participation on behalf of the girls themselves. Mrs. Wootton and all the Speech and Drama staff have been of continual assistance throughout the year and have contributed towards making drama for 1972 a success.

PAMELA WILLIAMS

Second was Nevile House's "A Long Day's Journey into Night" also by Eugene O'Neill. Staging was not the feature of this play, rather it was the material that was of interest. It could have been criticized that Nevile was aiming too high or as Mr. Baigent said it was, "A very brave attempt with ideas not fully developed".

Third was Tiddeman's " The Farce of The Devil's Bridge" by Henri Gheon. As a contrast it was a comedy and I am sure what made it even more hilarious was the fact that we knew most of the actresses personally. One outstanding feature of Tiddeman's play was the costuming and their use of colour.

the walton library This year the Library Committee was formed on a voluntary basis and restricted to eleven members. We have not worked to the usual strict routine . Instead, everyone has participated equally, working well together, without special jobs being assigned to any one particular person. Several working bees have been held afte r school and during lunch-times, and the Committee has completely run the fiction and non-fiction borrowing systems.

No innovations have been introduced by the Committee; instead , we have concentrated on running the library on existing methods as next year a new system will be introduced for the new library.

The Committee has enjoyed its work this year and I am sure it will continue to do so when it assumes a different role in the new library, as representatives of the students.

Next was Cato 's "The Man in the Bowler Hat" by A. A. Milne, followed by Fitchett's "The Black Horse" by Vance Palmer, and Krome House's "Th e Diary of Anne Frank" by Goodrich and Hackett. All these plays had outstanding qualities and I am sure by the conclusion of the festival each house was proud of its play.

I always feel it is a shame to place the houses in order of merit because I think it implies that the festival is dominated by a competitive attitude. I am sure that all girls who had anything to do with the contest would deny it, for it was an opportunity for girls in all houses to join together and provide an evening of entertainment.

JANET TAYLOR

This year M.L.C. was represented in the secondary schools' festival, in the Kew Town Hall , in aid of the Autistic Children .

Berry and Cato Houses repeated their performances on this occasion and , I am sure , did credit to M.L.C.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW LIBRARY BEGINS 16

SILVER AND GREEN . DECEMBER 1972

The Middle House Drama Contest was another interesting event this year. Miss Boreham on this occasion was the adjudicator and her first three placings were Fitchett House's "Odyssey of Runyon Jones", Cato House's "Why The Chimes Rang " and third "The Maid of Dom Remy".

MEMBERS OF THE CAST OF TH·E SENIOR BERRY PLAY 17

l

history and literature club A record membership and an extremely wide and interesting programme have made this year a memorable one for the Hist.Lit. Club.

In the tradition of past years , we again viilited historic Como House, followed by afternoon tea at Poppa's Pizza Parlour.

We have had a marvellous year at the theatre, visiting two seasons at the Russell Street Theatre , where we saw a total of ten plays. Some of the most popular plays were " An Ideal Husband" by Oscar Wilde , starring the wonderful Googie With ers; "Cherry Orchard " by Chekhov, and two new plays by Alexander Buzo .

The two excursions to the Art Gallery were p!anned to coincide with Form IV history studies , and early Australian paintings and Eastern Asian art were studied .

Another highlight was the visit by some club meml:>ers to a series of four ballets presented by the Australian Ballet Company, with guest artist , Sir Robert Helpman , in "C inderella " . Another and very different ballet , "The Mexican Folklorico ", was greatly enjoyed by all .

Some of the films we viewed were "Jane Eyre ", "Fiddler on the Roof" , "Nicholas and Alexandra" and the new "Macbeth", and these were very well attended .

We hope that we will again this year be able to donate money to the library. To raise this money, luncheons have been held and these have been financially successful. As well as these , two dinner parties were held at well-known Chinese restaurants, and a new venture was our tasting of a Chinese breakfast, a " Dim Sim", which was an unusual experience for all.

Our thanks are extended to the Executive and Committee of both sections of the Club for their enthusiastic co-operation and we would especially like to thank Miss Rud in , who organised the Club and arranged al l the outings.

philosophy club The Philosophy Club has met informally this year with most interesting and sometimes inspiring results . The discussions have been heated and ranged over a variety of top ics , introduced by the many distinguished spe akers we have been privileged to hear.

Mr. Goodwin has been a devoted leader and we all thank him sincerely for the long hours he has spent on the 'phone arranging for speakers, and for coping with the questions which arise after the meetings.

We started off the year with a preparatory lecture by Mr. Goodwin on the nature of philosophical problems. This was followed by a discussion of the basis for morality, as an introduction to Dr. Lauchlan Chipman's lecture on the obligation to obey laws whether there is any connection between legal ity and morality.

We have twice been honoured by visits from Dr. Graeme Marshall who has given us two particularly inspiring lectures on the concept of Mind (particularly the problems raised by communication), and Freedom and Determinism . We took a brief look at the present trend toward linguistic philosophy with a lecture on Wittgenstein by one of his disciples, Professor D. A. T. Gasking of the University of Melbourne philosophy department. Our last speaker , Janna Thompson , explored the reasons for the swing away from metaphysics to linguisti cs. Most of us feel that , if any sterility is resulting in philosophy in the West because of this swing , then perhaps a return to the construction of a comprehensive metaphysical system , or a deeper delving into the existential ism prevalent in Western Europe , could be valuable.

debating society This year the debating teams have performed well under the enthusiast ic and helpful eye of Mr. Goodwin. Our school team (Sue Cohen , Angela Kominos , Sandy Bell) had two victories, over Caulfield Grammar and Scotch College, in the inter-school competition . We lost to Sacre Coeur and Xavier College by narrow margins after very close debates.

The inter-house competition was won by Cato House , with Fitchett second and Berry third. Congratulations are extended to Cato for their excel lent performance and to all the debaters in the competition .

This term , we are looking forward to the fifth form debates, which should be of a high standard . Once again , " thank you " to Mr. Goodwin for his invaluable assistance throughout the year, and to all those who have participated in the debating events .

a.f .s. students How the months have flown by! It seems impossible that my year here at M.L.C. is nearly over. I can still see myself upon arrival at school nine months ago - feeling strange in uniform , lost in the maze of corridors and buildings, and petrified of ending up in the wrong classroom at the wrong time. So many things were new to me - train travel , school uniform , morning assembly which still makes me jump when and, of course , the siren I'm not expecting it! But by now these things are second nature to me - and I'm even remembering my hat!

My high school in California was a four-year (3rd form to 6th form) co-educational school with about 1,500 students. Living just over a mile from school, I usually took a school bus or rode my bicycle - quite change to a 40-m inute train ride . School started at 8.00 a.m . with seven 50-minute periods a day. Without the limitation of a Matriculation syllabus , the school was able to offer a greater variety of courses. The atmosphere was more informal , although it is difficult to compare with only the Matric. level here .

But this year at M.L.C. has been a true learning experience and an enjoyable one. Through both school and House activities I have felt a real part of M.L.C. and wish to thank my sister Judy, the friends I've made , and all those who helped me lo make this year possible for a wonderful year .

l A large number of the school 's instrumentalists took part in a church service held in the Independent Church . Both senior and second orchestras were involved , also the string orchestra, chamber orchestra and a woodwind group. The service was a great success, and it was pleasing to note such a good attendance of parents, friends , and girls of the schoo l.

music

our school

The music school continues to involve a great number of girls and still appears to be growing in size, much to Miss Elton 's delight. Mr. Van Ernst leads both the senior and second orchestras with vigour and inspiration, and there is marked progress, especially in the second orchestra. We are particularly sorry to hear that Mrs. J . Pownall is leaving at the end of this year for an overseas trip , but we do wish her the very best of luck, and thank her for her work regarding the Form 11 choir and madrigal group, class music and singing. We extend a warm welcome to Miss Peers Coetmore who has returned from England

and is teaching violin.

The Senior School Church Service was particularly successful this year. With the accompaniment of the orchestra under the leadership of Elizabeth Stenning, the highlight was the " Te Deum Laudamus" by Malcolm Wi lliamson wh ich was enjoyed so much that a request was made for another performance at the Wesley P.S.A. held on 8th October. The cho ir performed the anthem " Hear my Prayer, 0 Lord " by Mendelssohn which also received high praise from many members of the congregation . The Middle and Lower Middle School Church Services we re he ld separately this year to allow for the usual over-crowding in the Auburn Methodist Church. The services were well attended, and thanks and congratulations are extended to Mrs. Casey fo r the training and organisation of the Lower Middle School girls, in cluding the choir, and to Mrs. Runge and Mrs. Pownall for the performances of the Middle School Cho irs and Madrigal groups.

In late March the senior madrigal group was proud to perform at a concert of contemporary music organised by Mr. George Dreyfus. After many practices on what appeared to be a quite weird work Nickson's " Homage to Tsuboi Shigeji " the group enjoyed perform ing a different kind of music from the usual, and were favourably mentioned in the press: "It was performed admi rably . . . by a splendidly trained choral group f rom the Methodist Ladies ' College".

I n Term II the school combined with Mr. Ronald Farren Price to present a concert in aid of the Methodist Million Fund. Both the senior and string orchestras took part, and also the second orchestra which valued the experience in public performing. The string orchestra performed some excellent work in Bartok's Five Rumanian Folk Dances. The senior choir sang an arrangement of three beautiful Japanese Love Poems by Walter Watson and some excerpts from Vaughan Williams' Cantata " Folk Songs of the· Four Seasons". Led by Kate Clements and Jeanette Trickett, the senior madrigal group performed three Elizabethan madrigals, and combined with the Wesley Glee Club once again to form the M.L.C.Wesley Chorale.

On 30th June the Senior Music Recital was held. It took a form similar to that of last year being presented in smal l groups or recitals, and of performers wearing individual long dresses. A capacity audience enjoyed the particularly successful night. Once again the senior choir and orchestra performed and the string orchestra, trained by Mr. Milton Holden, and also a newly-formed string quartet trained by Miss Peers Coetmore.

We were fortunate to have Mr. John Mallinson, Camberwel l Grammar Director of Music , to adjudicate the Senior House Music Contest th is year. Indeed , the high standard shown did not vary a great deal from house to house, as is shown by the results.

Three houses shared the House Choir Trophy and two houses shared each of the original composition , instrumental ensemble and vocal ensemble trophies . Krome deserves high commendation fo r winning three trophies outright, and for sharing first place in three other sections! The Middle House Music Contest was held on 5th October and the winning house was Cato. Congratu lations are extended to the house leaders.

During Term II, recitals for Middle School, Lower Middle School and Junior School were given , when the rapidly increasing enrolment of students learning the 'cello and bassoon, especially, was made known .

The senior choir and orchestra, and the madrigal group and M.L.C.-Wesley Chorale were proud to be involved in the Wesley P.S.A. held on 8th October. Malcolm Williamson's " Te Deum" was again performed together with various other successful works by the groups. To provide a change in the programme Berry, joint winner of the vocal ensemble item of the Senior Music Contest, presented " Deep River" and Krome, joint winner of the instrumental item, performed "Tango " .

The second orchestra, led by Fiona Cameron, had another valuable opportunity for public perfo rmance when they took part in the Middle School Concert and when Form Ill presented "Trial

by Jury". Mrs. Runge prepared for this highly successful occasion, and we thank her for the unfailing energy she has shown in th is preparation .

Of course, the highlight of the year is Speech Night. This year the school will sing the magnificent chorus from Mendelssohn's "Elijah " , " Behold, God the Lord passed by", finishing with a section of the final chorus of the orato rio, " And then shall your light break forth ". The senior choir will sing excerpts from "A Ceremony of Carols" by Benjamin Britten a beautiful work composed originally for treble voices and harp.

Within the music school there are thirty-four teachers who cope with the large number of 632 students learning instruments, and this year there is a record number of girls sitting for Leaving and H.S.C. practical music examinations. Often those who teach girls individually are forgotten , but they do much work which is not seen but, rather, is taken for granted . These teachers work extremely hard throughout the year preparing students for exams and willingly giving assistance, a:1 d to them we extend our most sincere thanks for such a hard job so readily done. We thank Miss Gairns for the tremendous job she does, and also Miss Elton for the unceasing energy she puts into organising such a rapidly growing music school, and for the valuable help and pleasure she gives to so many girls.

Verdi's "Requiem" On the night of Wednesday, 13th September, at 8 p.m., the Dallas Brooks Hall was bursting at the seams with an anxious audience waiting for the commencement of Verdi 's "Requiem" .

It was performed by the combined talents of the M.L.C. and Scotch College Choirs. We were honoured by the guest appearance of soloists, Loris Synan (soprano) , Lauris Elms (contralto).

Richard Greager (tenor) and John Brosnan (bass) .

The experienced vo ices of the soloists, the two hundred and fifty voices of the chorus and the excellent playing of the fiftypiece Orchestra, all kept brilliantly under control by Mr. George Logie Smith .

The programme opened with the quiet restraint of " Requiem et Kyrie", was followed by the extremely challenging fugue "Dies lrae", which conveyed to the audience the many moods of Verdiloud and pulsating in the choruses "Dies lrae" and " Tuba Mirum "; and quiet and soothing in the " Lacrymosa" . The four soloists then performed a beautiful offertory called "Domine Jesu " . The chal lenging "Sanctus" was performed by a double chorus, each choir having four parts. The sound produced was magnificent and was one of the highlights of the evening . " Agnus Dei ", for soprano , contralto and chorus, proved to be a vp :·y movin8 'Jier:e, and so , too, did "Lux Aeterna" . The climax of the evening was the magnificent fugue Finale, "Libera Me", which again let loose the many moods of Verdi.

Apart from performing this challenging piece of music on a professional basis, the whole performance was sung in Latin, which added a tremendous amount of character to the fabulous piece of music.

JENNI ROBINSON

Of great joy to the Sen ior Choir and its numerous enthusiastic supporters was Mr. John Sinc lair's review of the M.L.C.-Scotch College performance of Verdi 's "Requiem". The following is an extract from " The Herald ", pub lished on Thursday, 14th September, 1972:There is no sound in the world like that of well-trained young voices and right from the wonderfully hushed opening of the " Requiem Aeternam " the singing of this perfect ly trained choir was, for me, the source of infinite pleasure and joy.

The choral tone was soft in texture and wonderfully resonant. Entries were precise and every note and syllabl e of the text was articulated with delicious clarity .

There was no sense or suggestion of strain and indeed one felt that the choir had reserves of power that the conductor never had occasion to use .

Best of all was the evidence that intensive training had not spoilt anyone 's pleasure. Only singers who are really enjoying themselves could sing so beautifully.

During the tremendous ferocity of the " Dies I rae " I could not but wonder what it must be like to be 15, to study the choral part at school and then to sing it against th e blaze and thunder of Verdi 's orchestra.

It must be intensely and unforgettably exciting .

tennis notes

The netball season commenced qu ite doubtfull y with only two courts , instead of the usual five . Despite this difficulty, both Senior and Junior teams were exceptionally successful. The Senior " A" team were undefeated until the last match of the season against M.C.E.G.G.S., and the Senior " B" team were only defeated twice .

Towards the end of t he season both Senior teams combined to play a netball team from Carey. The atmosphere of this game was a little different from other matches, and surprisingly, no one was injured (although Libby tried very hard!) .

Both Junior teams were undefeated throughout the season and deserve a spec ial mention , considering they were very young teams. It seems as though M.L.C. has a bright future before it in netball. Unfortunately there was no Under 13 inter-school competition this year , but with the comp letion of new courts , the Under 13 teams will also take part in matches next year.

Overall , everybody who participated in netball this year learnt how to enjoy competitive sport and thanks must go to Miss Perkins and Mrs. Armstrong for making this year's season so rewarding.

1972 must be regarded as an excellent year for all school tennis teams. The Senior practices held Monday and Wednesday afternoons after school were attended regularly and as a resu lt the Senior "A" team was undefeated. The U/15 team, capably captained by Lorraine Shepherd , won five out of their six matches and it looks certain that M.L.C. will maintain its splendid record in the future . Good performances were also recorded in all " B" teams.

Members of the Senior "A" team were: Chris Bates, Kym Ruddell , Diane Smith , Jan Respini, Jill Bull , Jo-Ann Kellock and Lyn Beynon . Megan Layton and Sally Short were also valuable members who played matches in the Senior "A" team .

In our first match we proved a team to be reckoned with , defeating The Hermitage 48-14. The following Saturday we travelled to Geelong to play Morongo . The team were hospitably met and had a successful morning, winning 56-30. In the following Association games we defeated Presbyterian Ladies' College 52-34 and M.C.E.G.G.S. 53-23.

Although tennis is played during first term this year, girls took again to the courts in third term to play the Old Collegians.

School colours this year were awarded to Kym Ruddell and Merrilyn Robinson . It must be remembered , however, that interschool competition is not only played in the hope of a win, but to develop the sense of working together as a team . It should also be remembered that this is aided by the presence of spectators and it is hoped that next year they will be ever present, encouraging our school teams.

Thanks once again must go to Mrs. Maddison and Miss Stewart for their help in the organization of the team .

Good luck to all future tennis teams.

The Senior "B 's" were capably led by Libby Kings, who man aged to play severa l games with the firsts. The Under 15 team was led by Leigh Indian . Unfortunately, M.L.C. did not produce an Under 13 team , but perhaps next year this will be possible.

The teams would like to thank Mrs. Dall (seniors) , and Mrs. Black (juniors), for all their helpful advice during the season .

May next year's teams prove to be as successful as this year's!

sw1mm1ng notes The Inter-House Swimming Sports were held on the 17th March at the Olympic Pool. The success of the Sports was due to the tremendous amount of work the Sports Staff put into their preparation, and the school is most grateful for their helpful advice.

For the second year in succession Fitchett were victorious , the results being:1. Fitchett 538 2. Cato 435 3. Berry 411 4. Krome 382 5. Nevile 344 6. Tiddeman 309 The team for the Inter-School Swimming Sports were based on the results of the House Sports, the competition this year being held on Friday, 24th March, in the afternoon at the Olymp 'c Pool.

Although not many supporters were there M.L.C's school spirit was high . M.L.C. performed well, although the placings did not do our team justice:1. Morongo 474 2. M.C.E.G.G.S .

468 3. Hermitage 458 4. M.L.C. 435 5. P.L.C. 420 Mrs. Armstrong was in charge of School Swimming and Diving and we thank her very much for her patience and untiring efforts.

On Saturday, 25th March, many swimmers were up bright and early to compete in the heats of the All Schools ' Competition (open to all schools in Victoria). M.L.C. performed exceptionally well - each age group making the finals. This year we also had three divers, who competed showing a very high standard of performance.

SPORTS DAY, APRIL 1972

sports day Sports Day started for most Houses in the early hours of the morning , and by 9 o 'clock there were masses of balloons and streamers decorating the terraces .

Once again the weather was perfect and all enjoyed them selves , whether actively taking part in the many events, or just cheering their House on to victory.

This year the Sports were converted to the Metric System , and although many girls were confused by the new system , it did not alter the results.

Mrs. Risstrom , wife of the President of the Methodist Conference , presented the trophies to the following Houses for each section :Under 13 Points Cup - Cato.

Under 15 Points Cup - Fitchett.

Senior Points Cup - Krome .

House Proficiency - Tiddeman and Berry.

Junior Marching - Fitchett.

Senior Marching - Tiddeman and Fitchett.

In a school as large as M.L.C., the house system plays an important role because it provides a smaller body of people with which a girl may identify. The sense of fellowship that is inspired by house activities is priceless to all those concerned. It is important to remember these less tangible but, I think, more important aspects of our house involvement. What really counts is that what we get out of these activities (I am not referring to house colours).

The running of a house is far from a one-man effort. There are many girls and members of staff who have devoted their t'me to helping Berry along.

First of all, I would like to thank Mrs. Stout and the other Berry House mistresses. It is tremendous to see staff members at matches, practices and even in the dressing rooms before the play, giving last words of encouragement. Though we often seem a thankless lot, these actions are appreciated by us all.

The enthusiasm and "house-spirit" amongst Berry girls this year has really been great.

I would like to thank Barb. Cornwell and Lindy Rashleigh for all the time and effort they put into the swimming sports. Our tennis team had some very interesting matches under the capable leadership of Megan Layton , while Libby Kings and her baseball teams entertained us on the oval. Thanks go to all girls in these teams .

Our congratulations to Robyn Guest and Linda Chambers for their wonderful production of "Where the Cross is Made". Sincere thanks must go to Stella Heley as Drama Captain and for her performance as " Nat" in the play. We are also in debt to her for her tremendous work in the Oratory Contest , which was enjoyed by all.

Anne Opie and Jill Silverwood once more inspired us all in the Athletics Sports, and Berry came off with the Proficiency Cup .

Thanks must go to sports captains Megan Layton (Table Tennis} , Cathie Welsford (Netball), Anne Opie (Hockey) , and juniors Olga Lucas (Hockey), Sue Jhompson (Table Tennis) and Jenny Kell (Netball) for their leadership and enthusiasm .

Rebecca Hossack proved herself a talented debater and actress.

We thank her for her work in these fields. Our junior dramatists also showed their talents under the leadership of Heather Sullivan.

Our thanks go to all concerned.

Pippa Sampson has ably led the juniors this year. Berry is grateful for her work and preparation (she is always prepared for a house assembly) . Thanks , Pippa; I don't know what I would do without you.

Finally, I would like to thank all in Berry House for the support and encouragement they have given me throughout the year. Best of luck, and remember, a house is only what you make of it.

Ever blue the sky shall gleam Cato 's spirit - ever keen!

In 1972 Cato has certainly proved true to her motto. At all Inter-House competitions Cato has shown plenty of enthusiasm with rousing war cries and singing. If there was an award for this , Cato would be a clear winner.

There seem to be so many people who deserve recognition for their achievements that it is very hard to know just where to start. Perhaps I could start by thanking everyone who participated in events throughout the year or tried for teams , a part in the House Plays or the Choral Contests.

With all the support received for the different activities we were able to ach ieve many successes. In sports , Janet Skurrie very ably led us to second place in swimming. Mandy Rojo, Sue Barnard- Brown and Wendy Mills put much time and effort into the athlet ics and Under 13's rewarded them by winning their cup .

In hockey Cato won all senior matches under the supervision of Jenni Robinson , and Pam Artlett achieved considerable success as our leader in baseball.

Many thanks are also due to our other captains: Sue Walker (Tennis), Jenny Barnard-Brown (Netball and Volleyball), Jenny Schwartz (Table Tennis) , Julie Angus (Squash) and Jenni Robinson (Cricket).

Cato certainly had an outstanding year in drama with successes in both senior and junior plays. Liz Rouch and Jenny James succeeded in producing an extremely funny play which was well received by the audience . The play was so successful that they were ,a sked to give a second performance. The junior play achievjld second place and produced the winner of the best actress award in Sally Cohen. (Here Rowena Turner should be congratulated also thank you, Mrs. Turner!)

In the Oratory Competition , Sue Cohen was two points behind the winning speaker with an extremely witty and amusing speech .

Then in the Debating Sue led the team to first place.

Kathy De Garis, as Music Captain, deserves sincere thanks for all her efforts in the Choral Contest. Again Jenni Robinson should be thanked , this time for an original item which everyone enjoyed immensely and which came equal first.

Chris Pethard led the Juniors extremely well throughout the year. This has been appreciated very much as Cato is such a large house. Thank you also Prue Rojo for always being so helpful and such a fantastic Vice House Captain. Whenever Prue has been asked to help she has always been willing.

Thank you, Cato, for a wonderful year!

JENNIFER GREEN

As the year comes to an end , I am pleased to say Fitchett once again has achieved a high standard in all its activities.

For our success we must congratulate everyone who has tried and participated in any of the year's events. Special thanks go to Vice Captain , Janine Walker, and all the other Captains : Margaret Doyle and Robyn Hewitt (Drama), Libby Collins (Hockey), Cathy Piggott (Cricket) , Debbie Boothe (Baseball), Wendy Toop (Table Tennis), Merrilyn Robinson (Tennis), Chris Bates (Squash) , Angela Kominos (Debating) , Sheridan Naylor (Volleyball), Liz Stenning (Music), Mandy Wilson (Swimming) and Libby Collins (Aths.).

The juniors also have done tremendously well under the leadership of Chris Morris and Roslyn Doyle, who have both been enthusiastic and encouraging to others.

Thirdly, I would like to thank all the mistresses, in particular Mrs. in 't Veld and Miss Kirby , for the interest they have shown in the house and the help they have given .

I thank all of you for making my year as House Captain so enjoyable and wish you luck in the future .

nevi le krome The first major event of the year was the swimming sports for which Anne East was our Captain and many thanks go to her for all her hard work and to those in th e events as well as the girls who tried for them . The games were very exciting and although we came a commendable fourth I was disappointed with the number of girls who came to cheer the House on .

Kym Ruddell leading the tennis team and Penny Shaw, captain of the baseball, did very well in the organisation of the te ams and thanks go to them and the teams for their fine efforts.

Thanks to Marj . Jones, who was Captain , we came second in the athletics. Everyone showed a lot of house spirit and enthusiasm in the practices and on the day, and these , with the fact that everybody worked as a team should, helped Krome on .

The hard work of Joint Captains , Carla and Anthea , resulted in a fine production of " Anne Frank " in the Drama Fest ival. Than ks should go to them and to all actresses and backstage workers for all their time put into the pl ays .

Our hockey team , led by Anne East, tried hard , and the table tennis team , captained by Sandy Youren, had an excellent season , coming first.

The final big event , of course , was the Sen ior Chorals which I am sure all Krome girls will remember. With th e tremendous effort and time put into them by Helen Krizos (Captain) and all the other conductresses and pianists we came an outstanding first.

The squash team under the leadership of Marg . Krigsman , th e cricket whose leader is Jan Hayes and the volleyball , led by Lee Campbell are sure to do well in Term Ill. I would personally like to thank the Vice-Captain , Chris. John , for helping me throughout the year, as well as the Junior Captain, Carolyn Harman, and all the other junior captains for all their work done for Krome. Thank you to the girls in the teams and to those who tried but did not quite make it. To those who did not try for anything this year, I say, do try next year as you will then find that you will appreciate Krome House better and the house spirit will be increased. Thank you.

Although Nevi le has not had a terribly successful year, there are many in the house whose enthusiasm throughout the year has shown the house spirit that exists in Nevile .

tiddeman Tiddeman will always mean something special in every boarder's heart and this year has been one where our spirit has been really tremendous.

Our swimming captains Kerrie Anthony and Keryn Re id worked very hard in training the swimmers . The Swimming Sports were one great mass of red and cheering . Congratulations to the cheer squad who did a great job in inspiring enthusiasm . We didn 't come anywhere in actual points , but if points for hoarse voices could have been counted, I'm sure , we would have topped the lot. First Term sports were led by Diane Smith and Wendy Ewert as Tennis Captains , Lesley Mills and Dee Sutton for Baseball; it was wonderful to see how our girls worked as teams and showed great spirit.

Athletics Sports came along very quickly and I would like to thank once again Sue Bond for doing such a splendid job as Captain , and Mary Hewitt in helping her, being our Junior Athletics Captain . Once again all really pulled their weight , got to practices and showed great spirit , especially on the big day when lots of loud encouragement for our teams was given . This year we came out equal top of the marching - sharing the honours with Fitchett and came equal with Berry for proficiency. Thanks to everyone for making it such a wonderful day.

Drama this year was led by Sue Vernon (Drama Captain) and Kaye Stanistreet (Schatz) as producer. They both did a first-class job and everyone involved in the play enjoyed it tremendously .

We were all thrilled that our play was placed third in the adjudication. Chris. Brooke was Debating Captain ; congratulat ions and thanks to all the team on their fine efforts. Chris also represented us in the Oratory contest and gave a very good show for

It is very difficult to write down all the memories and varied experiences that this year has brought. But, anyhow , it has been a busy and very happy year. We have become quite

Tiddeman . The Juniors were extra busy the first few weeks of

liberated this year, with the introduction of the new ruling that

second term with Kath Vernon and Janet Midgley working hard as Captains of Drama. All of Tiddeman really appreciated their efforts and thanks very much to all juniors who helped in this regard .

Jo A big thank-you to the captains of second term sport Kellock and Sue Nalder for netball , Bev. Jasper and Wendy Ewert for table tennis , and Kathy John and Sue Williams fo r hockey.

They worked hard and gave so much encouragement to their teams.

The Senior Music Contest is at any time a big worry, but a lot of this was lightened owing to the enthusiasm and hard work that so many girls put into it. A special thanks to Marion McLennan as Music Captain ; she did a tremendous job, along with Glen Crozier , Jo Kellock and Wendy Grove, to help in taking charge of different items. Everyone sang and played beautifully.

Although we did not come off winning we were always placed high up on the list in many sections, thus enabling us to come third overall in the contest , which was excellent.

Our Juniors worked hard for their Music Contest. Many thanks to Jenny Wilkinson (music captain) and Pam Cohn (vicemusic captain), helped by Robyn Gunn as joint conductress .

Third term has seen, as well as Squash captain Joyce Treloggan, Cricket captain Lesley Mills and senior volleyball Meg .

Crocker, the addition of a Junior volleyball team , who for us is under the guidance of Lyn Mitchell. We wish them luck in the matches and thank them for their leadership.

I'd like to thank everyone in Tiddeman for their support this year. I am sure that all those who have been captains will agree when I say, what a tremendous feeling it is to know that everyone is behind you. Keep it up, Tiddeman , and best luck for 1973 .

we are able to wear slacks to Chapel after tea on week-nights , and even slacks on Sundays!

The start of the year brought a general settling down into some sort of organised life, meeting old friends and making new ones in the Boarding House and day school.

Second term brought us to saying farewell to Mr. and Mrs .

Woodgate who have been missed . Birthday Night preparations got into full swing and with so many girls helping, it lightened the load tremendously. Miss Sutton came to her first Birthday Night dinner and I'm pretty sure she discovered that our food was not anything like boarding house food is made out to be!

We were fed with a scrumptious dinner and afterwards an exquisite cake which Mrs. Waddell had taken much time and effort over - we thank her very much . We entertained everyone up in the Assembly Hall by a varied concert which we all enjoyed being in, and hope it gave as much fun and laughs to the people watching .

We seem to have been quite social this year, with both giving socials and being invited out to other schools for nights of fun and games! The Boarders' Dance was a tremendous night and many thanks to the hard workers of the Dance Committee who did such a good job.

I'd like to take this opportunity to give our thanks to the Resident Staff and Sisters, especially Miss Lancaster, in helping us along the way this year. The responsibility of looking after 150 or so girls is a very big job. Chapel Choir this year was under the new leadership of Mrs. Pownall, whose hard work in getting us to practices is very much appreciated by all the girls who enjoyed being in the Chapel Choir this year.

The first Sunday this term was taken up with the return of the Wallabies and Kangaroos Competition . The Boarding House was divided into two teams and we played numerous sports - quoits included! Even Miss Lancaster participated in table tennis and thoroughly enjoyed herself. Boarders' Picnic is a feature of Term Ill. Finally, I'd like to thank a!I the girls this year for being what you have been and are a tremendous bunch . I should like to thank especially the Boarders' Prefects who have supported and given encouragement to me; without them my task would have been rather hopeless. Thank you all once again , I hope that 1973 will be an even more successful year than '72.

The silver rays splashed Upon the gently swaying trees , Peacefully, The stars wink And flirt With the passing Dark.

The night animals Move Noiselessly, Swiftly, Whilst Mother Moon Guides them with Loving rays.

Such are the ways of Night.

The bulwark of Darkness.

commended page

Poetry A word, a thought, a phrase; A suggestion of happiness That makes others happy, Or a saddened word, That touches something deep inside another; The sound of a babbling brook, The ecstasy of freedom Brought to someone caged; The sound of peace In the midst of raging war, Or the sound of trumpets blaring In the land of the deaf; This to me, is poetry, Something which can create a response, Something which, if but for a moment, Touches another's soul.

The rain pattered softly On the window-pane .

And I gazed out, Unseeing.

I sat there, Counting the minutes, Waiting , Hoping, Watching for him ...

The monotone of falling rain My solitary companion.

And, as the cruel seconds passed away, So did my hopes.

But still I sat there, Waiting , Waiting for a dream; Until the shadows joined together, And darkness came to comfort me.

Then I was not ashamed To let the tears fall, Like raindrops running down the window, And my illusion faded into the night.

1st prize junior Fog It hangs, heavily over the city, Dropping its hands down and picking up people Until, you are the only one left on the street, Walking , walking, all by yourself, Your mouth breathing out smoke Your feet, clomp, clomp along the street, Getting louder and louder, until the fog clears .

People come again, out of the sky on to the ground.

Then the street is alive again with people.

Peace settled over the scarred, sleeping village like a gull coming to rest on the tortured rocks When the storm is through . like silence after the screaming water, like a soft word in the silence . . . ... slow breathing after the final wound, after a violent death, painless resurrection.

They Told Him to Make the Children Laugh They painted on his face a false, sad one, They dressed him in a gawdy, baggy suit, And told him to make the children laugh .

But he didn't look up when they asked him Why he was crying.

The blue paint ran and smudged across his hollow cheek, The blaring music spun his mind in dizzy circus circles, And the laughing blobs of bobbing lights and colour Mocked his simple misery, Jeered at blue tears .

Restlessness

A Tear

further entries Escape He wanted to bend The bars of his cage, The cottonwool cage He'd wrapped round himself.

He wanted to throw off the chains That tied him to his world.

He wanted to break All the links in those chains , To throw them away, Toss the fetters round his feet To the gods.

He wanted to be free.

So he worked at the links in his chains And one by one they weakened and broke .

Someone shaped him a key And tossed it through the bars, So he unlocked the door of his cage And ran .

The wind was his brother, The birds were his friends.

He drank this freedom Like sun-dried soil, And ran like one mad, Exhilarating in speed.

Quite suddenly he stopped.

The silence was strange.

He felt small, vulnerable .

Where were the yelling noises Of his world?

He wanted a familiar sound.

He needed his cottonwool cage, His chains, his fetters.

He wanted to be safely tied up , Secure.

He wanted the petty problems Of his tiny padded life .

This freedom was too big.

So he decided That he didn't want to be free any more .

And walked quietly back.

A tear cascades down a hollow cheek, To shatter into a million crystalline particles, On the black floo r, Of my black world, And I get down on my knees And talk to that tear, But it does not answer, because it cannot hear.

But have you ever sat and thought About what a tear really is?

A little ball of love, And ha te, And blood, And toil, And sweat, A utensil of emotion, Of good times and bad; You shed a tear when you're happy, But you shed none When you 're sad.

J ENNI RO BINSON , Dip.A.2.

Hurt I am in shame of my mouth; Mouth that speaks hurt.

I am in shame of my hands; Hands that make mean actions.

I am in shame of my mind; Unaccepting and caged.

I am in shame of my eyes; Eyes that glitter with hate.

Mouth , hands, mind and eyes .

Human weapons of hurt I am in shame.

A lone hawk, gliding swiftly through the clear, blue air.

Bright, hot sun, glaring down at the dry, yellow dust.

Deadly silence .. .

Suddenly - a scream ! - . .. Triumphantly the hawk opens its mouth to utter the joy of food !

The small rat falls like a dead weight to the dust, far belo w.

The rat scurries amongst the hot dust - the hawk has disappeared.

Again - complete silence .

But in the silence - terror reigns !

Life is a struggle to survive.

Terror! Fear! Struggle! Heat!

Yellow scrub scattered widely about the dry sand, suddenly the wind starts, weedy bushes begin to move, to and fro.

It whistles through the holes in the sharp, rugged, cliffs.

Loose, small branches of dried-up scrub toss restlessly to and fro .

A gale has started, it sweeps the ground, the dust overcomes the air, penetrates through the cracks in the cliff.

A dry, desolate country.

SUE LYONS, 1.B.

Apathy That contagious feeling : engulfing anyone who cares to feel tired ' tired with themselves, tired with the world around them .

The mind becomes dormant, Oblivious of all around.

Expressing all they feel with a yawn Stretching like a cat that cares only for itself.

SUSAN DOUGLAS, IV.J .

Fire Fire . . . Fire raging , burning . .. burning mercilessly, killing, destroying ... devilish , evil.

Flames ... flames leaping out of control .. . seem to be dancing, Laughing, as if it were the Devil himse.'f pleased!

Smoke ... a dense cloud of smoke ... choking.

Fearful Frightened Terror ... screams of terror, desperate cries tor help .

Panic Commotion Confusion Terrified Afraid Running . .. men running for their Jives, weary, frightened, homeless, Help!ess ... powerless to do nothing.

Black ... black burnt distorted figures of burnt out homes, farms and forest.

Danger Destruction Despair Misery Suffering Death .

Captivity The spirit of captivity; The moving, surging body, Doomed tor eternity to the confines of one place.

Yet it takes its revenge!

Those , who dare to look upon its torment, are blinded; Stricken by the knowledge That something so free , so full of life Could be caged forever; Terrified by the thought that this also is their fate ; Haunted forever by the cries of illusion .

Sad songs on rainy days, sad faces sighing with death 's mask smile for I know not why the doll's house was yellow like the sun's drought-like phases in the rhythm of a waltz said slowly float with me over hills down dales filled with lilacs all gone red with blood's magic touch in the golden afternoon and shepherd's delight and sad faces sighed as a great man died.

CATH Y HALLUMS, 11 .B. 43

The Last o·f His Tribe He sat before his cave where uncanny coldness shivered, Lonely drip counted hours of eternity, damp silence weighed heavy.

A hunt of the past was drawn on the walls, Each mark holding a myth, each figure a legend, Man with spear, stalking kangaroo bounding, Thrown spear, kangaroo fallen dead.

Two boomerangs, one good, one evil, curved on the wall .

Man threw boomerang good, broke boomerang evil, Good split evil in two .

The sun, a ball, the moon, a disc, painted with elaborate care, All woven with mythical meaning, seemed to move From past into future , and the spirit that paused At the mouth of the cave saw time sitting still in the shadows.

He crouched closer to his fire 's flames , their shadows Patterning the ironbark's trunk with figures That danced and swayed and leapt in the firelight, That turned and stamped and tapped on their sticks That beat the rhythm of passing time and tidings gone.

He heard Myar, the wind out of dreamtime, playing his didgeridoo To his spiritual people, deep droning voice echoing, haunting him.

He heard singing , chanting voices - were they his people?

His flared nostrils turned to the wind and smelt the scents of night, Could smell night herself. Like gems in their depths His dark eyes shone as he looked upon the world at his feet .

And he looked upon the world above his world and saw patterns in the stars.

He saw Genitoo, the Milky Way, the Sea of Stars, And Dacha/, Orion's belt, the Three Brothers.

The Brothers could see him, he thought, on his ridgetop with spear in hand.

His white beard whitened more in their pale light And his polished dark body shone. He heeded not His trembling white-palmed hands, instead He watched the shadows unblanked his world.

And the future took him with the myths of his boomerang As wind takes dust over plains.

And the future took him away to the dreamtime where boomerang was born.

And as the stars faded, he faded too, And as they crept away, he followed, And when the sky had paled, he had joined the stars .

Upon Learning the Flute

Cannon at Williamstown

My virgin flute , yet holds volumes of Bach , Teleman , Mozart, Vivaldi and more.

My virgin fingers hold none.

Resolution.

My flute dances through emotions up and down moods piercing ecstasy and depression Yet, it all lies within my lips.

Flute music liquid bubbles melt into me so I dissolve Float through each note drawn thin , pierces passions .

I sway silver sucked soothed.

Hot rich pool of sound Swells me to oblivion, Drunkenness .

The cannon that used to kill are silent now.

They are re-erected in the park and children romp on them .

Their ominous boom Is become the joyous whoop of a boy, perched on top of one, Master of all the world below him .

SUSAN DOUGLAS , IV.J.

LORNA SCURFIELD , IV.J.

The figures drawn on the walls moved in the moving shadows.

They ran and crept and threw their spears, They twisted and turned in the red of their camp fires And their painted bodies copied the leaping flames .

And they mimicked the brolga in his dance to the moon And the hunt for the kangaroo .

He heard the people calling to him, Saw them beckoning him to come, So he stood, and straightaway the voices stopped And so did the didgeridoo.

So he stamped out the fire that made shadows of the past to mock him, Then he turned and crouched in the shadows And buried his face in his hands and hid in the dark of his soul.

His thought wandered as a river meanders, his long dark fingers Clasping old boomerang, broken, that accompanied old, broken soul.

The ancient curve of the boomerang, broken, held mystic tales.

He thought about them. They meant something for him, he was sure.

He rested old head on old dark knees, clenched old boomerang, And he knew those mystic secrets now, of the boomerang broken, Of the past and future .

He found himself on the ridgetop , poised with spear help upright.

Fresh wind blew from hills beyond, night shadowed red cliffs now purple.

His white beard moved slightly in the wind on his dark body, 44

It's our rabbit, they said, We ' ve been hunting it for two months.

Do you mind if we go into your garden?

They jumped over the small white fence One man to the left, one man to the right .

The white rabbit ran across the lawn and they ran after it, laughing and shouting Soon they had caught it.

They held it in their hands, squeezed it So that it could not leap away.

They left the garden, victorious .

Now they have their rabbit.

They will keep it in the nice hutch they spent their week-ends to make.

They will give it carrot and lettuce (which, after all, is better than mere grass).

They will pat it (Rabbits need to be loved) And maybe, once a week, they will let it out for a few seconds (strictly supervised) (Rabbits need freedom).

LYNDAL ROPER , IV.E.

The City The hum of the people, The rattling train, The churches' steeple, And the rain , All of these things are part of the city, With smoke and fumes, Oh! What a pity.

The crying babies, The factories' smoke, The high heels of ladies, And men who went broke, With noise and traffic, All of these things are part of the city, Oh! What a pity!

I think if we tried, The pollution would drop, The noise and the traffic, And building would stop, But all of those things are part of the city, We WON'T stop them, Oh! What a pity!

CHRISTINE JOHN , H.VI.A .

Winter Winter comes, And with it, pictures of darkness, misery, cold.

Yet behind this murky vale Lie joys inexplicable; The fingers of an icy wind Cutting through the body's flesh To search out and refresh the soul; Howling torrents of rain Excluding those safe within their homes From the world outside their sheltered havens; The graceful dancing boughs Stripped clear of their leafy clothing Bare their naked beauty to the world; And in the hazy shadows of the early dusk There is time to reflect .

My Bird Charlie My bird Charlie is a darling little pet; he sings and sings in such a nice way and, sometimes, I pretend that we are talking at a tea party or something like that. I pretend he's someone real and when I bring his food to him he pecks and eats and pecks and eats .

So I love my little Charlie so much, you see.

The Sea The sea, a lonely beautiful graceful inside of thoughts .

It's just like a woman fighting , chasing the hard ragged rocks.

Calm ripples ride on the blue clear water that shows its Beauty with a wonderful world of brightness, of fish and coral, When the strangling cruel weed appears, the sea goes mad. And It grows tremendous, towering waves that curl and smash Over the rocks or its own water.

Frightened, senseless it tumbles and then whirls past Its white fluffy foam which is its own secret tears And when it's all over it rests quiet and peacefully.

Beetle's Eye View

The Fox

You all look very tall from down here.

Even one smallest blade of grass looks like a giant from down here.

The feeling is awful knowing that one of you giants could step on me and crush me to death instantly!

Life is very short for us because you catch us then starve us, Or just step on us for fun .

Life is not fair for a beetle.

The night was still And the trees were still in the darkness .

A fox sneaks silently through the bush, In the blue moon light.

A fox calls, that morning cry; Anything in front the fox seeks .

A small rabbit sits frightened at the sound Of the fox coming closer to it And all at once The fox pounces on it .

"The Age" -

4th February, 1882

METHODIST LADIES' COLLEGE, HAWTHORN President: Rev. W. H. Fitchett, B.A. Headmaster : Mr. Frank Wheen , B.A., London Lycott Scholar, Gold Medalist for Maths. & Physics of Wesley College , Sheffield . . . .

The Methodist Ladies' College will be a modern school of the first order ; the buildings (in whose erection £12,000 are being expended) will form a collegiate institution for girls unsurpassed in the colonies.

The College is founded in the interests of high class Christian education, and the fees are reduced to the lowest point compatible with the efficiency of the institution .

The building will be completed and boarders received at Easter.

The day-pupil branch will be opened 14th February, in the Wesleyan schoolroom , Hawthorn , as temporary premises.

Several years of p!anning , foresight and determination on the part of Dr. W. H. Fitchett led to the establishment of M.L.C . in 1882.

Methodism in Australia during the 1870's founded many Colleges directed solely towards the education of boys. Public schools for girls were regarded as luxuries and were given low priority by both the Church and State.

Following the unsuccessful bid in 1878 to have a Committee appointed to " consider the expediency and practicability of founding a College for young ladies" , Dr. Fitchett again raised the question in 1879 with the resolution being carried and the Committee was appointed .

The following three years involved discussions of plans and consultation with experts in Great Britain and the United States.

Miss Ruth Flockart Upon her entry to Methodist Ladies' College as a boarder in 1908, Miss Flockart developed a very keen interest in music.

Rev. Dr. Fitchett exerted a great deal of influence upon Miss Flockart, and it was at his express request that Miss Flockart joined the Staff as a Junior Teacher. It was also due to Dr. Fitchett 's encouragement that Miss Flockart decided to undertake a course at the Conservatorium, of which she later become a staff member.

During the early 1930's, Miss Flockart was offered the position as Musical Director, but she refused the offer claim ing she "felt inadequate". Miss Flockart recalled the time Dr. A. C. Floyd, in pleading with her to reconsider, said : "Look, Ruth, you must not turn it down". And because of her apparent feeling of inadequacy and unpreparedness, she accepted Dr. Floyd's suggestion that she travel to England in order to make a thorough study of music in schools. In Britain she consulted and studied under such authori ties as Sir Adrian Boult and Sir Hugh Robertson . Miss Flockart felt the overseas tour was most valuable ; " there's nothing like experience for learning your trade", and, on her return to Methodist Ladies' College in 1934, she accepted the position as Musical Director.

The first performance of "Children Crusade" by M.L.C. in 1949 was in collaboration with the A.B.C. Although Miss Flockart claims "it was the most difficult work she had tackled", it was such a huge success the A.B.C. requested a repeat performance.

Awarded an M.B.E. by the Queen in 1956, Miss Flockart expresses her gratitude to the many people who helped her, including Dr. A. H. Wood, and her sister, Anne . But the reason for Miss Flockart's success? "You have to love your work." Indeed Miss Flockart knew that policy well.

SALLY McLAREN

As the State did not offer any grants of either land or money, finance proved to be a problem . However, the College Committee chose the site in Hawthorn and in 1881 three acres were purchased for £2 ,600. In April 1882 the main building was completed .

Accepted into the Methodist Ministry in 1866, Dr. Fitchett was also an influential author, emphasised by the fact that when Sir Winston Churchill served as First Lord of the Admiralty he ordered copies of Dr. Fitchett's works to be put in every British Naval Ship. His more notable writings consisted of "Deeds that Won the Empire ", "Fights for the Flag", " How England saved Europe" and many others.

Miss Lucy Kellaway

the royal melbourne show

The significance of the name Miss Kellaway to the Methodist Ladies ' College may be dated back to the year 1915 when she was a Prefect at a school of 270 female students. This was her final year as a pupil but she returned twelve years later in 1927 to join the Staff. From this position she became Chief of Staff in 1955 and also acted as Principal in the absence of Dr. Wood overseas.

At the 1972 Royal Melbourne Show, several girls entered their craft work in both Open and School craft sections and were successful in winning prizes.

"Students with youthful confidence entered their work in Open Sections and several gained a prize against older and more experienced competitors. " -WEEKLY TIMES, Sept. 20.

Robyn Legg, H.VI.G. , gained First Prize in the Open section for her orange and brown divan and bolster woven in linen and Swedish wool. She was also awarded a special prize by the Handweavers' and Spinners' Guild of Victoria for her work in the divan cover. In the same section , Anne Hall , S.V.H., received Third Prize for her woven wall-hanging of a large sunflower. Sue Graydon's lace-weave linen table runner was "Very Highly Commended" and Michele Hayes' (S .V.H.) navy and green shouder bag was " Highly Commended".

In the Open Leatherwork section , Sandra Youren , S.V.D., received a Highly Commended certificate for her carved loose-leaf folder, and in the Open Decorative Needlework section, Ruth Perry was "Commended " for her work on a black-and-gold wall picture.

In the School Competitions in the Weaving section, Anne Hall (S.V.H.) won Second Prize for her linen , lace-weave curtains and Michelle Hayes was " Very Highly Commended" on her lemon-andwhite traditional weave skirt.

In the Dressmaking section, a Third prize was given to Michelle Hayes for her aqua courtelle suit , and in the Decorative Needlework section Susan Peel (S.V.A.) also received Third Prize for her embroidered wall picture of flowers and birds. Wendy Shaw (S.V.C.) was " Highly Commended" on her Florentine embroidered tray cloth and Elizabeth Kings (S.V.D.) received a " Commended " cetificate for a wall-hanging, embroidered in pink tones using many different threads, beads and sequins, and her Hardanger table cloth was also " Commended ".

These girls are to be congratulated on their efforts which prove the high standard of work which is achieved in the craft studio.

Miss Kellaway recalls that while she was at school the uniform consisted of a navy blue skirt and blouse. In 1915 blue blazers were introduced but only for prefects; tunics were used for gym. work (an exercise not relished by Miss Kellaway). In 1915 also consisting of only was established the first Honour Six form twelve girls.

However, by far the most important and consequently time-consuming event which affected Miss Kellaway's school days was the Great War. Girls at M.L.C. filled billies with knitted socks and face washers, cigarettes and chocolate , and anything else they thought might be useful. Another activity in which the girls involved themselves was the collecting of money to be sent to the Front - the then handsome amount of a penny a week was raised and this was the origin of our present Social Service system . Dr. Fitchett would give any war news daily at morning Assembly and then tell the Prefects if anything else occurred throughout the day.

During Miss Kellaway's absence (between 1915 and 1927), Mr. Le Couteur, a Rhodes Scholar and interstate cricketer, introduced the recording of times at Sports Days. He retired as Headmaster in 1928 and was followed by Mrs. Landon who instituted the House system .

Miss Kellaway dispelled the popular belief that there are classrooms under the oval. In fact, today 's bicycle shed was to be used as a shelter in case of bomb raids in World War II . In 1955 Miss Kellaway became Chief of Staff and remained in this role until 1965.

Thus, some of the life of M.L.C. is revealed through the eyes of Miss Kellaway who still serves the school as the First Patron of the Old Collegians' Club.

Dr. Una Potter Dr. Porter, formerly Una Cato, was the youngest daughter of the College Benefactor, the late Mr. F. J. Cato, who partnered his cousin, Mr. T. E. Moran, in the famous grocery chain organisation.

Dr. Porter first entered Methodist Ladies' College in 1908, and during her years in the Junior School she became Dux of the Junior School and was awarded the Headmaster's scholarship.

Howeve·r, in 1913, Dr. Porter and her family travelled to England with the intention of finishing her schooling there, but owing to the outbreak of War, her family returned to Australia. In 1915, Dr. Porter returned to M.L.C. but in 1916 became very ill and was medically advised not to sit for examinations.

"Mr. Krome," recalled Dr. Porter, "was a very approachable man." Whenever she had difficulties she would often consult with h:m and thought him a "reasonable and understanding person" .

Dr. Fitchett is also vivid in the memories of Dr. Porter. "His white beard, his gown and red hood he wore with such great flourish, as he entered the Assembly Hall each morning."

Medicine as a career did not occur to Dr. Porter until fourteen years after her schooling . It was the difficulties of a diabetic niece, one of the first patients to be put on insulin after its discovery, which gave her the incentive to complete Matriculation and study medicine.

A foundation member of the Y.W.C.A. since 1925, Dr. Porter is presently serving a term as the Australian President of the Y.W .C.A. SALLY McLAREN 50
