SICAL MOMENTS REMEMBERED

In the report of the Principal, Dr. George Morrison in 1864, it was reported that 'Drawing is taught by Mr. Sasse and singing by Mr. I'Erson. Instrumental music is taught by Mrs. Longden and there is a piano for the special use of those who take lessons'. At Speech Days, 'read ings, recitations and songs were included in the p roceedings' . By 1893 there was an Annual College Entertainment held at fi rst in the Geelong Exhibition presenting a programme which included songs (both choruses and solos), reci tations, orchestral items, gymnastic d isplays and p lays. These d eveloped into the College Mid-Winter Entertainment wh ich continued und er the Principal, Mr. orman Mo rriso n and until 1912. Those respon sibl e for them included Mr. T. C. Bro wn, Mr. C. Stanton-Crouch, Mr. G. Braham, Mr. A. H . Harry and Mr. Worth. Mr. W. R. Bayly and Mr. W. T. Price were Princi pals between 191 0-1919 and a Mid-Winter Concert continued to be a

feature. It was held in the Dining Hall and, owing to lack of space, attendance was limited to boys. A report in Pegasus, 1912, suggests that many of the items were given by ad ults and remarks on the absence of a school choir. Reverend F. W. Rolland became Princi pal in 1920. Music (Piano) was taught by Mr. Cotton and Miss Gill. 'Trial By Jury' was performed in 1921 by the Senior School and excerpts of the 'Mikado' by the Preparatory School in 1927. In order to encourage musical appreciation, concerts were held twice a term. These were arranged by Mrs. Gladys MacDowall. Early in the 1930's it was recognised that music held far too little place in the School and in 1934 a Music Club was formed to remed y the situation. Teachers Brian Lester, Carl Ipsen, Tammy Henderson and ]. H . Campbell were the leading spirits in the Club which aimed at increasing the appreciation of music in the school. Visits to the Opera and musical prod uctions were arranged . In 1935 the

Glee Club presented 'The Monastery'. In order to encourage the School to sing, community singing was held after Assembly at fairly regular intervals. Those in charge were Mr. William Samson and Mr. Rea Dickson. It was at the beginning of 1936 wi th the appointment of Mr. Roy Shepherd as Director of Music that mu sic was afforded a prominent place in the curriculum. The singing of hymns at Assembly became a feature of School life. In 1937 Mr. George Logic-Smith was appointed as full-time music master to assist Mr. Shepherd, whose regular visits continued for a time. In 1938 Mr. Logie-Smith was appointed Music Director. The House of Music was opened in the same year and so began an era mark d by intense musical activity through the Glee Club, orchestras, instrumentalists, and so on . Music was not confined : ev rybody participated. Musica l appreciation was increased by the gift of a gramophone and large r cord collection by the Carnegie Foundation in 1941.

BUILDING PROJECTS \

r ni in modern of ar-hitecture. A ba windO\'v, an oriel window, a r plica of th War emorial wmg to w er and a n integration of the column in the o ld d oi t r into the new building complete a very hand orne 'i_ual impact. It i_ ho ped that the building "'rill be in u . e b, the beginning o f 1991: one of the lar er room \\ill be the new hom e of the compute which alway seemed to be unhappily placed in C27 up tairs on the we t \\ing, and the other large room ",rill become a new Science laboratory. In the near fut ure wor should begin on the first tage of the upgrading of the playing field on the southern ide of the internal road at the Preparatory School. The plan that has been accepted by the College Council incorporates two properly graded ovals that will/can become thr ee hockey pitches and fo ur all-weather tennis/netball court . Eventually the area will be graded to three distinct levels though the total project \o\ilI take some years to complete. The first s age will see the establishment of two of the fo ur courts at the western end of those playing fields.

CURRICULUM AND TIMETABLE Staff in the Preparatory and Senior Schools have been working assiduously in the recent past on a great number of things. One of the most pressing in the Senior School has been a reorganisation of the curriculum and ti metable at Years 9 and 10, especially, so that a number of desirable goals were achieved . The preliminary work has been completed and we are in a position to operate under our new framewo rk from the beginning of 1991. Essentially we have w idened the exposure of Year 9s and lOs to electives, without reducing contact Mth core subjects, in troduced a component of Health Ed uca tion at Year 9, incorporated Computing in to subject discipli nes at Year 9, and given "sacred" time to tutorials. This has necessitated the mtroduction of a 10-day teaching cycle (that looks suspiciou sly like two consecuti ve 5-day cycles!) but we feel sure that the school will adapt to that cha nge Mth ease.

HON. MR JUSTICE ALLAN McDONALD A recent sitting of the Supr me Court in Geelong demanded the presence of the Hon. Mr Ju tice Allan McDonald ('50). A most distingui hed sportsman during his choolda s and after, as President of the Victorian, then Australian Athletic Association, and one of the eight Old Collegians who have been appointed to the bench in various jurisdictions, Allan 1cDonald returned to the College and spoke to the students at As embly before his daily court duties on Tuesday, 7th August. Recounting what he described as a fairly unremarkable academic career at school (though there would be those who would d ispute that), he left a clear and succinct message to the students that perseverance overcomes many 'hurdles' and distinguishes the achiever from the 'also ran'. It was a delight to be able to welcome Mr Justice McDonald back to the school, and we hope that we have the opportunity to see many more of our eminent past students in the near future.

ARTISTSIN-RESIDENCE One of the very attractive features of the educational offering at the College is the capacity to invite specialists in various fields to come to the school for an extended period to stirn ulate the students' interests in a variety of ways. At the Preparatory School, painter Henry SherMn, puppeteer Greg Temple, French linguist Isabelle Morin, and English headmaster Reg Wood ward have entertained and excited the children; at the Senior School, 'Coodabeen' Champion and journalist, Ian Cover, has had a profound impact on the writing skills of a number of students. There is no doubt that there are tremendous advantages that accrue from this programme.

Mr Bill Rogers

ROBERTSON HALL OFFICIALLY OPENED On Tuesday, 5th June, Mr D.W. "Bill" Rogers ('39) opened the new Robertson Hall and Music Complex at the Preparatory School. Mr Rogers is a very~ distinguished lawyer in Melbourne, is th l~ senior partner of the legal firm, Arthur Robinson and Hedderwicks, is a member of a number of senior company boards in Melbourne and the chairman of some. It was an especial pleasure to welcome him back to the school not only because he has been a member of the College Council in the past but more particularly, in this instance, because his father, Brigadier J.D. Rogers ('13) a former member of the College Council and friend of Lieutenant- General Sir Horace Robertson ('10), had opened the original Robertson Hall in 1962.

QUESTIONNAIRE You will find enclosed in this issue of Ad Astra, a questionnaire which I ask

you to take the time to complete and return to the College . Many of these details have not been kept over the years and the school considers it important that our records are accurate and complete ..

CRICKET TOUR OF ENGLAND The year of organising, pl annin~ and fund raising proved most worthwhile as we reflected on the first tour to England of a College cricket team. The boys had a marvellous time due in no small part to the assistance received from members of the College community, including members of the OCCA. On the field we proved more than a match for the schools and clubs we played. Wins are important for morale on a tour of this length and we were not to be disappointed even if our first match at Sherborne School in 7 degree temperature was our worst effort! Jet lag, lack of practice and frozen hands may . . have had something to do with it. . , In all we had seven wins, three draws and two losses for the tour. Travis O'Brien and Jason McDonald both made . , centuries - Jason's in fifty-six minutes and Greg Lochhead took a hat trick. In our festival we managed to become runners up. Each player, at some. stage, contributed significantly either With bat, bailor in the field. The team work and co-operation during our rigorous programme of travel and playing was never lacking. We can be proud of our students for their actions both on and off the field. There were many highlights, indeed. Thanks to Ph illip Strachan ('77) we were guests of the Britain - Australia society at the Annual House of Lords Reception. Peter Wade ('67) also hosted us to an Aussie BBQ in Hampshire after our ~ match at Winchester. Peter lives in a . , magnificent 350-year-old th~tched cottage near the original foundatIOn ground of cricket, Broad Halfpenny Down, near Hambledon. Three glorious days in London ~t. the end of the tour, in heatwave conditions (29 degrees) and two nights in Singap?re, saw the tour party arrive home very tired but very effusive about their time away. Thanks are also extended to those Old Collegians who purchased a tour tie. ~nd package which assisted our fund raJslng and also to Rod Robso n ('59) at Qantas, the Old Collegians' Association for the Commemorative plaques and to the m mbers of the College community who became involved in our many lead-up activities.

KEITH CALVERT HOSTS STUDENTS Year 11 Australian Studies students from The Geelong College recently paid a visit to 'Terrinallum South", the Darlington sheep-farming property of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Calvert. Mr. Calvert ('51), a well known Old Geelong Collegian, spoke to the group about life as a wool grower. He also outlined the various processes involved in the growing, shearing and marketing of wool in Australia today. The excursion was part of the new VCE Australian Studies course which has the study of work in agriculture as one of its themes. During the day, the student~ ~so examined the changes in mecharusatIon and technology in farming, and the effect that this has had on rural employment and settlement problems. Head of Australian Studies, Mr. Geoff Peel, said it was important that students are aware of the Western District agriculture, particularly in light . of the close links the area has had WIth the history of The Geelong College.

WINTER SPORT The Geelong College 1st XVIII football .--am finished the season with some very competitive games after a slow start to the season. Youth and inexperience seemed to jeopardise the team's chances of winning major games, however, there were some commendable overall performances. The season finished with a loss to Haileybury at home after leading all day and it was disappointing to conclude without a victory. They were certainly a team to be reckoned with in the last few games. Fourteen etball teams played in the local competition and had a very successful season with twelve teams making the first round of finals. Boys' and girls' hockey teams competed with A.P.s. and other schools and there was general improvement after a slow start. Congratulations to Sarah Gill on ~er selection in the Victorian U16 schoolgIrls team and on being the state' younge t player in Open competition, playing for Essendon.

Mr. D. W . Martin became the new Director of Music and classes and groups were carried on and arranged as previously. The Four Schools Concert: Geelong Gramma r School, Morongo and the Hermitage was initiated in 1964. There were annual musical presentations uch as "Carmina Burana", "Orpheus in the Underworld "," oye's F1 udde", "Die F1edermaus". An innovation was that many of those perfo rmances were in co-opcration with Morongo. In 1976, r. Hartley ewnham became the Director of Music, and in the following year the College Concert Series, a subscription series, was instituted and each yea r five outstanding concerts were presented. A Music Scholarship was also offered fo r the fi rst time. The opening of the Austin Gray Centre in 1980 allowed the music activities in the school to expand . The centre provides teaching facilities fo r vocal a nd instrumental training.

J.H. CAMPBELL SCHOLARSHIP George Logie-Smith made a member of the Foundation

THOUGHTS OF 'J.H.' 'Like many others, I have very clear visual memories of ].H. and the most p rsistent is that of his sharpening a fibre gramophone needle with his head slightly on one side as though he could already hear what delight the needle was being prepared to give.' Frank Tait ('37), U.K. '[ still have vivid memories of rehearsals in the old Plaza Theatre, with J.H . buzzing around adjusting props etc. The musty smell of the changing rooms and looking into the void beyond the footlights. My debut as a bridesmaid with the other charming maidens, and singing: 'Wear the flowers, till they fade, Happy, happy, be thy life, .. .' - will be something I will never forget, nor will J.H's remark 'that instead of tripping we arrived on stage like a mob of jersey cows!!!' Roy Walpole ('38), Whorouly South 'I recall being instructed by J .H. ( in the piano room under the Morrison Hall clock) on the characteristic work and behaviour of a traditional Sergeant of Police. The style of course was simply J.H . being himself.' Don Grant ('42), Lower Plenty 'J H. was a very significant person in my life. He brought a sense of relief and sanity to a boy who was very uncertain and muddled - and for a lot of my early time at The Geelong College, a very homesick boy - calmness and equanimity, and an acceptance of me as someone with potential are the things I remember so vividly. 'Bill Salmon and I seemed to always be in trouble together - and J.H. seemed (to us) to have a soft spot for us which kept us going. But the graciousness and wisdom of J .H. was such, that he made all "lost souls" feel as though they were all special. I wonder how many boys of those days feel the same way as I do. 'I remember a very important turning point in my life. I was singing tenor in the chorus of the Yeomen, (the citizens chorus at that - not even a Yeoman), when G. LOgie-Smith said 'We need a Dame Carruthers. Macmillan! You're not a tenor, you're a contralto." In my deepest voice I replied "[ am a tenor." "You're not a tenor - your voice hasn't broken" said Logie-Smith in his gentle and sensitive ton . "[ am a tenor" - voice still deeper. "You're not a tenor. You'll sing Dame Carruthers! J.H ., take him away and teach him to sing!" "Come along Donald . Com with me and we'll see what you can do," said J.H. [can till s his large, strong but somehow chubby fingers on the keys of the piano in the small practice room which was in the middle of the three rooms on the north-cast sid ofth House of Music.

J.H. Campbell 'I sang Dame Carruthers - and it was a turning point in my life. You may find it hard to believe but I lacked confidence in myself as a youngster (still do in fact) but this opportunity set me on the road to have a go at so many things which later were so important to me - some of which I actually did well! 'I can also remember a ].H . comment which meant a lot to me. On or about the second parade day for Cadets, when I was a raw recruit, for some strange reason, 1 was told to march a section of fellow recruits across to the store for an issue of some sort. As we approached the door, I managed to give the order and halt on the correct foot, which resulted in a pretty good performance from my colleagues. J.H .'s face appeared at the door. He didn't say anything until later, when he casually remarked "I wondered whose ringing tones gave the order for a section to halt outside the store today. I looked out to see who it was and found it was you. 'That was very impressive." (no, he didn't say impressive he said - "Not bad"). These are only little things, but to me, they triggered off ideas of going further - and above all - it meant that someone really cared for, and was interested in me. 'InCidentally - J.H.'s sound effects were also very effective. When Deadeye was thrown off stage, he dropped an enormous box of cups and glass which sounded as though poor Deadeye had gone through about four plate glass windows! The look of joy on his face as he laughed and coughed and spluttered with delight, is something I won't forget.' Donald Macmillan ('41), Red Hill South

Over $7,000 was donated by Glee Oub members to establish a scholarship in memory of J.H. Campbell. The scholarship, which was initiated by George Logie-Smith, has enabled the Committee, through the Foundation, to honour George with membership of the Foundation. What a great way to honour former members of staff which will help continue a life long association with the College. The J.H. Campbell scholarship is open to all who wish to donate. The recipient of the scholarship will have interests similar to 'J .H.'and the guidelines are now being finalised .

The bus load of delegates arrived from Melbourne to view display produced by 40, SF, 5G and 6A. The delegates complimented the students on their art work, and their models, diagrams and reports drew appreciative comments and observations from the group. Of particular interest to all was the fact, that, on a percentage basis, Australian women have scored considerably more gold medals than men.

The Year 8 social committee organised an evening around the letter Band students arrived as burglars, butlers, 'binnies' and brides, among other characters. This was the first occasion that students had held a function in the new Hall. The space for dancing, after the previous cramped conditions of the Dining Hall, was especially appreciated. Students organised a disc jockey for the night and he kept the place buzzing with continuous music, lots of competitions and encouragement for reluctant dancers.

Our Term II artist-in -residence was Greg Temple, a puppeteer and performer. His knowledge and experience in the field of puppetry was an inspiration to teachers and students from Prep. to Year 8 level. He had a wondern.:1 capacity to communicate with children of any age and he inspired them to make lots of puppets and to perform with them . Years 4 and 5 students were fortunate to be involved in workshops where Greg taught them how to make wonderful and exotic foam rubber puppets. These were then used to perform plays based on fairy tales and folk stories. The Year 4E version of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' kept reappearing by popular demand for several weeks following Greg's visit.

The library has also been the focus of computer activity. The library staff have worked with great dedication over recent months to put into operation the computerised catalogue and borrowing system. Bar coding for all the book covers will oon be complete, and already the overnight loans are being is ued via the computer. Even at this early tage the increased efficiency is evident, and the system prorni es to con iderably enhance the functioning of the library.

The Sydney stalwarts

SYDNEY In 1923, at the first official gathering of Old Collegians in Sydney, the inaugural President, C.H. V illmott stated, 'What \...·e lac' in numerical strength, we make up in enthusiasm.' Sixty-seven years later, President, Ross Hepburn, attending this year's dinner as the guest speaker, found that this statement was still valid. The staunch Sydney reliables, including founding member A.A.W. Hooper's son, John, were joined by a sprinkling of new faces at Sydney's Royal Auto Club on 27th July. Since last year s dinner, five of those present had attended functions at the College and the night feahlfed much discussion about the current state of, and future developments at the School. Al1an Rogers is the custodian of Sydney'S unique College flag, which IS emblazoned with the names of thei r past presidents. Present were: Frank Brown ('4D), John Cameron ('41), Geoff Oliver ('41), Barry Alsop ('42), Allan Rogers ('42), John ~ looper ('43), Tony Whiteside ('51), Russell Mclean ('54), John Read ('58), Ross Day ('59), RIchard Betts (,60), David Wilson ('60), David Whltcroft ('61), Dere Scott ('63), Ross Hepburn ('64), Ian Revle ('66), Hugh Torode ('67), Steven Duff (71), Ross Kearney (71), Brett Middleton (78) Page 10

The College 1st XX football team, 1884

ARCHIVES George Cumming ('39) presented a photo of the 1884 football team (pictured) in which his grandfather played. It is the oldest football photo in the archives! Though the history states 'from the foundation of the College in 1861 there was a first 'Twenty", for a while the absence of opponents set limits to its ambitions. As a result the boarders, when numerically strong enough, issued challenges to the day boys, and matches between the two sections became an institution. Geelong Grammar School, which rEXlpened in 1863 after its temporary failure, soon provided new opportunities fo r trials of strength and in the late 1870's and 1880's the performances of The Geelong College First Twenty stamped them as one of the best school teams ever seen in the colony.' Alastair Campbell ('56) presented crested china (cups, saucers, jug, and butter dish) from different eras of the College history. Parents, David and Jill Deane presented a photo (taken in 1902) of the College's first rowing eight, the 'Lorna Mary', in which a relation of Jill's rowed.

Old Collegians were saddened to learn of the death of Dr John Forbes ('34) in the recell( past. John was a College student whose days could never be overlooked : in addition to being quite a scholar, he was a member of the First XVIII for four years, the First Vili for three years, the Aths team for three years, a Prefect in 1937 and Head Prefect in 1937 and 1938! Many will know that, later in his adult life, he became a very distinguished director of the Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital. It is of note to mention, also, that his sons, Hugh, Jock, eil and Roger are all Old Collegians. We are delighted to have a tangible reminder of John's exceedingly successful school days: Peg, his wife, wants to donate the oar that John won in the four seat in the crew that won the 1936 Head of the River, College's first ever win . It will give the school great pride to have this permanent reminder. The Pegasus of the day tells us of the after-race celebrations: '.... Even the most staid and venerable members of the staff forgot their tears and customary dignity, and they cried with joy as they danced a triumphant Highland Fling.'

'Towards the end of that time, after an extraordinarily successful business career, he withdrew from executive involvement in business but remained heavily committed to a range of pressing community interests.

' ow the Foundation is firm ly established. It is very much a part of College life, and the su ccess of its establishmen t is due in no small way to Geoff Betts' inspiration, industry and leadership. The College Council is, indeed, very much in his debt.'

This is the recipe for a very enjoyable night and when you add to it the excellent meal served at the Killora Restaurant in Hamilton, then you can understand why we eagerly look forward to next year's dinner.

IAN McDONALD ('36) The College community is saddened by the sudden death of lan, who took such a prominent part in the recent Glee Club reunion. Ian was on the organising committee, sang 'When Britain really ruled ..' with great gusto, participated in the choruses and conducted the Finale numbers, 'Hail Poetry' and the '23rd Psalm' . He was a highly respected Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at St. Vincent's and The Royal Melbourne where he was Head and th n Honorary Consultant of the Gynaecology unit. He was ex-pr sident of the Regional Council of th R.CO.G. We extend our sympathy to his wife, Bobbie, and the family. A great Old Collegian who helped 0 many and will b greatly mis cd by all who knew him .

GRAMPIANS OGCA Senior Vice President, Debra Holding, with her husband Roger and Tom Clark, entered the hallowed corridors of the Willaura Hotel for the Grampians Branch Reunion in August. Debra's presence meant that Branch Secretary, Liz Laidlaw, had support in what had normally been a male domain. The dining room was just large enough to comfortably accomodate the nearly forty Old Collegians who 'gathered to the fray'. An open fire, the banner covering one wall, and the Fairbairn Cup highlighted by a garden setting mural, provided an atmosphere most condu ive to enjoyment. The OGCA Pre ident, Ross Hepburn, who waxed eloquent a guest speaker. The hospitality, espirit de corp and down right good fun continued till the early hours.

Behind the cenes, two other eCollegian )e'er Evans (,47) and Mark Lade ('73) also played ey role in Rod's record breaking ride. Rod's father, Peter, who with ...rife Margaret, travelled from Geelong for the record attempt, i Rod's long standing trainer and coach and is affectionately referred to by Rod as his "secret weapon". Rod and Peter, you may recall, combined succes fully in June/July 19 9 to slice more than 30 days off the 14, 0 km

THE WORK OF TOM SUTHERLAND A Saint passed us by' was the heading used in the 'Church and ation' when ""Titing about Tom Sutherland (,SO) who was in Melbourne recently visiting his mother and brother, Peter ('48). Tom has been in India for fifteen years helping the sic and poor. His mother writes Tom was interested in the under privileged from the time he was a schoolboy. After graduating he taught at Frankston Tech. and later was part time on the staff of R.M.l.T., but he spent all his spare time helping down and outs of all ages'. In 1975 he went to Calcutta where he worked for a year in the house for the dying and destitute that was established by Mother Theresa. He then went to southern India to visit a Father Gabriel who had initially established a leprosy clinic at Kerala, in the most densely populated and highest unemployment area of India. Tom has worked with Father Gabriel's community of Trippaadam ever since. Their aim is to help the poorest families but the medical work is still important; 1 , 0 people have been treated and some 2 -300 still come daily. They also help in the hospitals and care for the alone, the homeless and the unemployed. Page 16

Fighting illn s and fatigue, Rod said aft rward that two hour into the ride h wa contemplating pulling out. 'In the cond hour I tried to talk Dad into I tting me pullout. Then I broke the Au tralian 100 mile record which gave me a bit of a boo t. But not long after that I want d to pull out again. This is the hardest ride I have ever had.' Rod has been resident in Perth since moving from Melbourne in 1985. In recent times he has devoted much of his time to Bike West, a State Government programme to promote cycling and bike afety in Western Australia . o sooner had Rod stepped off his bike from breaking the World 24 hour record than there was talk of an attempt on the Trans - Australia ride at the end of the year. The current record stands at 10 days 17 hours and was set by Victorian Graham Woodrup in 1988. The World 24 Hour Track Cycling Record will be Rod 's second entry in the Guinness Book of Records and Rod is the only the second A'ustralian to hold a current world cycling record .
