outstanding su ccess. The quality of music p rodu ced by our s tu dents was excep tional and brought the a udience to their fee t in apprecia tion. Our su ccess on th e sports field this year is perhaps unparalleled wi th the collection of four APS p remiersh ip and a tring of econd places. H earty co ngra tul a tions to the girls' tennis, h ockey and a thle tics t am and the 1 t CI cricket on th eir p remier hip and to the ftball a nd foo tball team , and

the girls' 1st IV and the boys 1st VIn crews on their second placings. Our most recent victory achieved by the girls' athletics team brought a smile to everyone' s eyes when the trophy was presented to our girls' Captain, Katherine Davis, by the Chairman of the APS, Mr Paul Sheah an. Incidentally, the boy achieved their best re ult in year by coming 6th after being -!th for mo t of the day. Finally, I 'w ould like to thank the College community for their generou upport o\'er the la t eyen month. It ha been a great pri\ilege to act a Principal. I look forward to w orking with Dr Pauline Turner in 1 6 and I am ure that YOU will £iye her \'our full up port.

Ben Knight (Yr 12) left, watches as Todd George (Yr 11) asks John Gilson, the Acting Principal if he wants onion! Keeping an eye on the sausages are Brent O'Grady and Andrew Carey, both in Year 12. At the House Athletics Competition students under the leadership of Phil Taylo r, Warden of the House of Guilds held a sausage sizzle to raise funds for the Phil Hodgins Trust Fund. Phil Hodgins, a published and well known poet was an Old Collegian who died of leukemia, leaving a wife and young family. The students would like to thank Old Collegian Frank Herd Jar donating the sausage, Crichton Collins Jar donating the bread, 'eil D rew Jar donating the eggs and Past Parent Keioin Costa Jar donating tile onions and apples.

time. This year saw a particularly large number of new students from these area entering the College. While our children can quickly settle in and get to know the routines and the rules (written and unwritten! ), it is harder for the parents becau e our contact is much briefer. In addition, many of us work full or part time and don' t have the opportunity to pay regular visits during the school day. And on the occasions we are in the chool it can be hard to chat to omeone we have not met before. It is easy once we are a part of a group, to overlook the neWCOll1er , to be 0 bu \' catching up with old friend \\'e don' t think to include the new.

As Rowing Master, f was invo lved in a sma ll committee as early as 1978 with Stewart McArthur (51), Bruce Jamieson (Former College Bursar), et al. We were investigating the feasibility of building a new structure on the existing site to accommodate the newly formed girls' rowing crews. The girls' change room was located (aJ fresco) beside the monument between the College shed and the Barwon Rowing Club.

byMllrill Smith, Editor Director oJ Uimmunity Relations

Things have changed a little since th en. Thankfully we were able to extract some space from the boys' change rooms to develop a "temporary" space for the girls. I am sure that the new Boat Shed will serve its members well and Twish everyone much success rowing out of the new building. Glenn Amezdroz (70) East Brisbane, Qld The Opening of the new College Boatshed has already revived many memories for me. As Captain of Boats in 1939, I would have been amazed if told that the Boatshed then in use would continue for another 55 years! Bob Dennis (3 6) Rhyll, Vic
