for th e Coll ege a nd has already given the sc hool a "party feel". The generous sharing o f talents by parents and friends of the school on this day raised approximately 560,000 and emphasised the strong sense of family which characterises the College. Peter writes more about this further in the newsletter. On Sunday 7 May from 11.00am till 4.00pm the students and staff will welcome visitors to both campuses of the school for an Open Day. I urge you to join us if possible for a special program of activities. These will highlight aspects of teaching and learning that have contributed to the reputation we have as a school with a fine academic record and with students who go into the world with a strong and well balanced sense of themselves.

knowledge and in education and, therefore, an inves tment in this new world view. After all, it sta nd s to reason that we cannot hope to create before we have learned to believe and we can never change for the better before we ha ve come to understand that which has passed before us. As the children of the technologicaJ era which brought nuclear warfare, over-population and pollution, we will no doubt be called upon to sacrifice the short-term in favour of the long. ot aJl of these ordeals and not all of this damage can be faced withm the framework of our country or generation. But much of it could be. And that is the task which lies before us. A forest, such as those currently destroyed in South America, requires 00 years to reach maturity and yet in our society an idea which spans a decade is defined as visionary. In the future, howe\'er, ,-\'e will be asked to combine the conviction of the idealist "vith the sober realism of the pragmatist and we will have to do it. To thjs end, the students of The Geelong College, in addition to the academic, are inspired a sport men and ",'omen, as debater, actor, arti ts and musicians.

The second Geelong College Carnival, hel on Saturday 11 March 1995, was a tribute t the capacity of a motivated and talente school community that pooled its energy an resources to turn on an event that was secon to none. m The perfect autumn day rewarded a involved for their long hours of plannlt,<> an preparation. Thousands poured into tl Aphrasia Street campus from 3.00pm till WE after the scheduled closing time of 8.00pl and they wined, dined, played and wel entertained on a grand scale.
The Organising Committee had hundreds , willing helpers and they were backed up 1 sponsors and donors who had committE themselves to the event by mid 1994. My special thanks to John Anderson who! resourcefulness and unflappable style tran formed the Senior Oval into a true Camiv ground, and just as importantly returned it . normal by Monday morning. Elizabel Farrow co-ordinated a remarkable Foe Court that ended up with standing room onl Ellen Self (games and activities) an Rc Napier (signage) worked overtime tl weeks before the event, whilst ~GWE Anderson (garden) and Marion Daw (craJ co-ordinated work groups for months befo the day.

The formation meeting \\ a held in September 1974 at .\ 1ax Gillett' (-:1:0) home in Highton. At that meeting, Randall Bell (57) \>\ a elected Pre ident, Da\ id .\ 1orris (-15), Secretary and Michael Betts (65), Trea urer. At the close of the offer, 45 share had been old in the new club. At that time, the Alpine Resorts Commission advised the new club that only three sites at Mt Hotham were available for lease in any of the Alpine a reas (though this was subsequently not found to be the case) and the site in Ga ll ows Court at Mt Hotham was selected.

All parti cipants were gree ted by fellow Collegians a nd friendly G ra mm arians all givi ng feeble excuse as to why they were not contributin g to th e recovery of the ational debt! A prominent Andy Wall (63), suitably a ttired in white shirt and tie, bid us farewell off the 1st tee having had a solid week of phone calls and re-arrangements of a large proportion of the draw from those with a conscience pulling out at the las t minute! ell done Andy and thank au.
The highlight of the day was the presentation of the silver salva to the Collegians, with an inscription for th e third year in a row and safe keeping until next year. It is on display in the Community Relations Office at the College. It was a great day and our only
golf day
The day was hot, the \ ind was trong and the course qui te dr)j but n ot nearly as dryas the contestants were when we tepped off
disappointment is that the competition has to be limited in number . Maybe Old Collegians would like to consider ~----------------~--competition at Branch level and the Grampian area i certainlv a good tarting point.

THE OLD HEROES THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS
"CHA..~C), Wrince
Of g)enmark"
&~ GWl[nam ShaKespeare
14 - 28 JANUARY at THE GEELONG COLLEGE - Talbot Street Gate TICKETS $10 ADULTS AND $5 CONCESSION Directed by AARON RICHARDSON Featuring LAWRENCE PRICE AS "HAMLET" and CLAUDIA CLARK AS "GERTRUDE" It is with great pleasure that The Geelong College announces the Old Heroe Theatre Company's product jon of William Shakespeare's majestic u'agedy "HAMLET Plince of Denmark". To be staged in the grounds at the Senior School, " HAMLET" will run from 14 to 28 January 1995, for a strictly limited season, Undoubtedly the greatest tragedy ever written, "HAMLET, Prince of Denmark" explores universal themes of duty, morality and self di covery, which have taken on increased importance in the 1990 's. Combine these themes with the world' greate t poeuy and the natural beauty and ambience of the grounds of The Geelong College and you have the workings of a major theau'ical experience that must not be mi ed. Adding to the "College" feel of the production is the presence of three Old Collegian in the company and one CLUTent parent.
