THE PEGASUS W h a t is education? T h e main purpose of any school is, of course, education and so whether a school is or is not fulfilling its purpose can only be decided when the nature of education is known. Essentially, education m a y be classed as development of those qualities which prepare one for a job and those which lead to a fuller life for the educated individual. Vocational education at secondary level m a y itself consist of technical training, of training for a career on the land or of preparation for a professional career. In the latter then, the aim of education is to obtain certificates certifying varying degrees of knowledge or ability. But the more important aspect of education is that which broadens the outlook. It is this side of education which will considerably influence the amount life will hold for the scholar as it will influence his usefulness in his community. This aspect may be developed both by academic learning and by participation in outside activities. T h e educated product of a secondary school should thus be equipped either to earn a living or to take the tertiary training necessary for this but also be in a position where he can appreciate mankind's achievements and problems and, if possible, play a useful part in the development of mankind. If his life at school has been spent merely acquiring the skills that are necessary for some vocation, he will not be educated and his life will be the poorer for it. Obviously the process of education, be it purely vocational or be it the development of the mind is only beginning at secondary school. But secondary school must provide the basis for all future education, the relatively formal education of the school being the foundation for the education provided by experience. To what extent then does the College educate? T h e r e is, perhaps, a tendency for vocational training to be neglected. This need is of course partially satisfied by such subjects as Agriculture and Commerce and by preparation for the Public and Matriculation examinations. But other bodies can concentrate on vocational training; it is the job of the College to teach its scholars to appreciate the arts and to teach Collegians to play a constructive part in the community. In the latter aspect, the College certainly succeeds. T h e r e are opportunities for future leaders to lead and for that majority which will be led, to be led. T h e boarding and new day houses provide numerous occasions for co-operation, for practising community spirit. But the w o r t h y citizen is not necessarily an educated man. Yet there is a danger that the Geelong College may fail to educate in the other, more subjective sense. Specialization has led necessarily to the adoption of a rather narrow course by intending scientists, and non-scientists find themselves equally bedevilled by the task of gaining the qualifications necessary for entrance to high, non-scientific education. T h e r e is, it m a y seem, not time for Collegians to be educated. This of course is not the case, for although the curriculum may not include enough education in the Arts, the school provides opportunities for cultural education. T h e r e are the H o u s e of Music and the Art Studio with their facilities for those who are interested to find out w h a t culture is all about; there are such activities as lunch hour music recitals and the L i b r a r y Talks which deal with m a n y aspects of the Arts. Yet less than 10% of the school takes advantage of these facilities. Learning for both scientist and non-scientist would on the whole seem to have but one end—the attainment of good results at the end of the year. There is of course no reason w h y a person must be educated except that when he has the opportunity to be, it is a pity for him not to take it. Education will teach a m a n how to use his eight hours for w o r k ; it will teach him to use eight hours for sleep; it may teach him to earn eight "quid" a day; it will also teach him how to enjoy his eight hours of play.

1962.

KEITH JOHN BIRDSEY It is with great regret that we record the death of Keith Birdsey on Monday, 22nd October ,1962. Keith entered the College in the Kindergarten in 1951. This year he was in F o r m VA and was a m e m ber of M c A r t h u r House. T h e following are the words spoken by the Principal at Morning Assembly on Tuesday, 23rd O c t o b e r : This morning in our worship and prayers, let us remember Keith J o h n Birdsey, w h o died yesterday after m a n y weeks of serious illness. Keith is well known to most of you, for he was at this College from the beginning of his school days. Moreover, both his father and his uncle were also here, and continued their close association with the College as loyal and very active Old Collegians. We will always remember Keith as a keen, interested and active member of the College community, w h o always seemed to do his best at whatever he undertook. H e made m a n y friends. W i t h out being an outstandingly successful boy

in any particular way, he was, nevertheless just the sort of boy w h o contributes most to the welfare of his fellows. W e , w h o know the loving nature of God through the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, do not m o u r n for the dead, for we know that they are in our Father's care. O n r sorrow and our sympathy are foi those for w h o m the joy of his personal presence is no longer possible, for his parents, for his sister, and, I suppose, for ourselves, for we will all feel the loss of his cheerful company. But this morning, we are chiefly concerned to give thanks for a life well lived, for the privilege so m a n y of us have had in knowing so well such a boy as Keith. And, as we give thanks, we will remember in our prayers all w h o need God's comfort at this time. Let us stand for a prayer.

T h e link was forged in 1912 between brothers —a Mr. McFarland, w h o was at that time headmaster of Campbell, and Sir J o h n McFarland, who was chairman of the Council of Geelong College. In that year the Australian flag was presented to Campbell by Geelong.

50-YEAR-OLD FLAG SYMBOLISES

A feature of Commonwealth D a y celebrations in Campbell College, Belfast g r a m m a r school, over the last thirty years has been the fact that an Australian flag has always flown from the school flag-staff. T h i s flag symbolises a fiftyyear old link between Campbell College and Geelong College in Australia.

m o m e n t in

COMMONWEALTH LINK

T h e links were strengthened during the Second W o r l d W a r when former pupils of the two colleges met in a Japanese prisoner-of-war Camp in Malaya. The 1956 celebrations in Campbell were attended by the tnen H e a d m a s t e r of Geelong (Dr. M. A. Buntine). T h e Australian flag w a s flown as usual at this year's ceremony in Campbell College. The celebrations were attended by the combined cadet forces of the college and, as is customary, a commemorative tree was planted. Reprinted from the "Ulster Commentary" No. 199, August 1962.

COUNCIL NOTES T h e Council has continued to meet monthly at the College, and to receive at these meetings reports from the Principal, and from the Building and Finance Committees. A Grounds Committee has also been set up to make recommendations for the development of the gardens and grounds. D u r i n g the year the Rev. A. D. H a l l a m and Mr. P. McCallum resigned from the Council ,and were replaced by the Rev. Kenneth M a c L e a n and Mr. David Adam. Some of the m a t t e r s dealt with by the Council during this year a r e : 1.

Preparatory

School.

T h e Council authorized the Principal to advertise throughout Australia for candidates for the H e a d m a s t e r s h i p of the P r e p a r a t o r y School, which was to become vacant as from the 1st J a n u a r y next, through the retirement of Mr. L. J. Campbell. T h e r e were twenty-four applicants, m a n y of them of very high quality. T h e Council w a s glad, however, to confirm the Principal's recommendation, following a careful examination, of Mr. I a n R. W a t s o n , from our own staff, for the appointment. In recognition of Mr. Campbell's long and valuable service, it has been decided that the Kindergarten will be re-naimed "Campbell House". D u r i n g the year it has been possible to purchase an additional block of land adjacent to the Kindergarten, which will provide a larger playing area. T h e new north-west wing of the Preparatory School w a s dedicated and opened at the beginning of the year. T h e Hall has been named the Sir H o r a c e R o b e r t s o n Memorial Hall, in recognition of the late Sir H o r a c e ' s m a n y contributions to the College as an Old Collegian and m e m b e r of the Council, including a generous bequest from his estate. A n o t h e r valuable donation towards the Preparatory School develompent will m a k e possible a "C. R. Roper Memorial". E a r l y in the year contracts were let for the construction of a new south-western section, to contain changing rooms, dining hall, with dormitories above, at a cost of approximately £44,000. T h e g r o u n d floor is to be completed for use in 1963.

2. Roll and House. A r r a n g e m e n t s for the purchase of "Mossgiel". in Noble Street,, were completed with the assistance of the Old Geelong Collegians' Association, which has generously lent the sum of £11,000 to the College to make this purchase possible. Alterations to the house were carried out during first term, and Rolland H o u s e ( H o u s e m a s t e r and forty-five boys) took possession at the beginning of second term. Since then, the Council has purchased some additional land adjacent to the new Rolland H o u s e which would be large enough for three tennis courts, though a m a s t e r plan for this area has not y e t been completed. 3. Senior

School.

T h e space vacated by Rolland H o u s e has been used for a variety of purposes. A small flat has been constructed for a married H o u s e m a s t e r of Senior H o u s e . T h e administrative area has been extended to provide an office for the Adiminstrative Assistant, a room for the day H o u s e m a s t e r s , and a meeting room for the Council and other committees. Senior H o u s e has taken over some of the former Rolland dormitories. This, in turn, has m a d e it possible for Room A to be used as a Senior H o u s e recreation room, and the former recreation room to become an extension of the School Library. An Archives Room is to be established in the former Senior H o u s e p a n t r y . W o r k on these alterations is proceeding, and it is hoped that they will be complete by February, 1963. Plans have also been completed for the building of a married H o u s e m a s t e r ' s flat at W a r r i n n during J a n u a r y . All these developments are in accordance with a general master plan, u p o n which the Council has been working for some time. It is anticipated that the major building activity during 1963' will be the construction of a new Science Block, for which generous assistance has been offered by the Industrial F u n d for the Advancement of Scientific Education in Schools. Plans are already well advanced. T h e complete block, which would be placed just south of the main quadrangle, is expected to cost approximately £35,000.

T h e Maintenance staff now consists of a foreman carpenter, a second carpenter, a handyman and two painters. T h e work of this group has been greatly assisted by the addition of some machinery in the maintenance w o r k s h o p in Stinton Avenue. This staff has been fully occupied throughout the year, and still has a long p r o g r a m m e of planned maintenance. W h e n e v e r alterations and additions are made to the College, the maintenance department carries out as much of the work as possible, to

General. A m o n g s t a great m a n y matters of general administration, two which have received considerable attention are the introduction of a fees insurance scheme to protect parents from loss through absences, and a general review of the fire and other insurances carried by the College.

PREPARATORY SCHOOL

T h e r e has been considerable interest in this appointment, as the P r e p a r a t o r y School, which accoimmodates three hundred boys, including sixty boarders, has recently moved to a new set of modern buildings on a fifty-acre site overlooking Corio Bay and the B a r w o n river valley., Mr. W a t s o n was selected from a list oj twenty-four applicants from all parts of Australia. He is forty-five, and is married with a family of five sons and three daughters. After training and experience in the State Education Department, he joined the staff of the Preparatory School in 1940, but in 1941 enlisted with the Royal Australian Air Force, and saw five years of active flying operations. His training took him to Canada, and he was stationed for

At the end of the war, he held the rank of Squadron Leader, and had been notified that his next appointment would be as W i n g Commander. However, in 1946 he returned to the P r e p a r a t o r y School staff, and has served there since. He has been active in the school's sporting activity, having himself played in country crickel and football when he was a young m a n . In recent years, he has been the Senior Assistant Master at the School, and during Mr. Campbell's recent, illness has been Acting H e a d m a s t e r . As such, he has had much of the responsibility of settling the school into its new buildings, and in encouraging the boys and their parents to help with the development of the new site. A further section of the buildings is at present under construction.

HEAD PREFECT'S REPORT P r o g r e s s means change, and over the past year this College has undergone some of the changes necessary to meet the demands of this second half of the twentieth century in which we live. In almost all fields of school activity are these changes evident. In m a t t e r s of dress, the wearing of sports-coats to all week-day meals and m o r n i n g assembly was introduced this year. T h i s measure has not only improved the standard of dress in the school but has produced an increasing pride in both the school and its uniform. T h e need to distinguish prefects from the rest of the school has been satisfied by the introduction of green waistcoats for the prefects. But in the most important aspect of school life—the religious sphere, there have been very considerable changes. It has long been difficult to preserve a religious atmosphere in the multi-purpose Morrison Hall and to remedy this the m o r n i n g assembly is now being held three times a week in St. David's Church. T h e assembly in the hall the remaining two days has been greatly improved by the introduction of a sung introit and the abolition of the welter of announcements. T h e transfer of College boarders from St. George's Church to St. David's has been a further step towards increasing College participation in Parish life. T h e value of the third-form activity g r o u p s ; the musical venture of "Noye's F l u d d e " and the many other clubs and societies cannot be too much emphasized in such a school as this, for not only do they teach boys to use constructively their spare-time, but they furnish their minds 'with interests, capable of developing their individuality. On the sporting side both hockey and golf have become officially recognized sports. This change, or rather introduction, has provided m a n y boys with the opportunity of developing such sporting talents as they have which may not lie in the traditionally accepted games. This,

of course, is good, as more boys are able to take an active interest in sport. T h e success of the First X V I I I and the First XI this year has set a s t a n d a r d at which the future teams should aim. To fulfil the academic d e m a n d s of producing educated men, the school m u s t needs continually search for an even broader scholastic prog r a m m e . Both the instruction in Social Studies and Current Affairs at Matriculation level were introduced on the academic front for the first time, this year, and plans to extend the School Library have already got u n d e r w a y . Such changes as these, are greatly significant and highly valuable if the College is to provide the utmost in educational training for its members. Change is met by different reactions. In Geelong College I believe most boys have welcomed these changes and have appreciated the fact that they are innovations for their benefit. T h e r e is, however, a small group of malcontents who do not like these changes, do not wish to understand them and do not wish to take part in the school's p r o g r e s s : in short, w h o show none of that quality k n o w n to Collegians as "School Spirit". F o r t u n a t e l y they are only a very small minority. 1 find the traditional mode of conclusion the most appropriate. A school such as T h e Geelong College is more than just a training ground for academics. It is a society on a small scale and as such its members live together in close communion with one another. If. in such a society, a member takes full advantage of community living then the manifold benefits of tolerance, unselfishness, and appreciation of mankind will be inevitable. This College is privileged to be a Church school and we believe dependent, for the better, on the grace and inspiration of the H o l y Ghost. Not only then have we a responsibility to our School itself, but also to Almighty God. —Stephen J. Miles.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES MUSIC East year we were sorry to see Miss Nancy Bonney leave u s ; she had given eighteen years of devoted service to the boys and music of the College. Miss Bonney was replaced by Mr. G. M c F e r r a n , a graduate of the Melbourne Conservatorium. Another addition to the Music Staff has been Mr. J. Mawson, w h o has taken over the position of bandmaster and also has several students. T h e first occasion on which the College music came under the public eye as it were, was on April 18th when a group of trebles from the Prep, sang with the Geelong Choral Society in "St. M a t t h e w Passion." T h e atmosphere and spiritual significance of the Easter Service at St. David's was greatly augmented by the choir's a n t h e m " T h e Stife is O'er" arranged by Eey. On May 4th, a trip to Mozart's "Don Giovanni" in Melbourne was arranged to broaden the experience and knowledge in the field of music. T h e peformance had numerous merits; nevertheless it w a s variously received by the sixty odd in the party. W i t h Second T e r m also came the preparation for H o u s e Music and on the 20th July, the final of the H o u s e Music Competitions. T h e r e was a great deal of variety in b o t h the type and the standard of the music performed. It was however, not difficult to predict the winners and our congratulations go to Calvert w h o under the baton of J. E. Davies, gave a consistent performance of quite high standard. We were fortunate in having as adjudicator Dr. Nickson of the Conservatorium of Music w h o showed his long experience by weighing very well the qualities of the performances. Some thirty boys have been attending the A.B.C. Celebrity Concerts, in the Plaza Theatre, which have been of their usual high standard. As a lighter sideline in the music activities a group of about forty w e n t to Melbourne to see the t w o Gilbert and Sullivan operettas "Pirates of P e n z a n c e " and "Trial by J u r y " which were appreciated and enjoyed by all. T h e Brass Final of the South Street, Com-

petitions was attended by a small group of the more enthusiastic brass players. On 2nd November, a play and listen concert was arranged in which all boys w h o had not previously given a solo performance had a chance of revealing their hidden talents. We have only had two concerts this year. T h e first was the violinist, H a r r y Hutchins, deputy leader of the Victorian S y m p h o n y O r c h e s t r a and the second was the notable vocalist Alan E d d y who gave us items varying from opera to vaudeville. At present the Second, T h i r d and F o u r t h F o r m s are preparing music for a Christmas Concert as the Carol Service will be sung by the Prep, boys this year. A section of the orchestra will also perform w o r k s which were started during the first term. T h e Chapel Choir has provided an introit for every assembly in the Hall. T h e repertoire, although not large at first, has been expanding and the standard has been improving, being greatly augmented by the introits from G. Thalben-Balle, Book of Introits. We give our good wishes to Air. L o w e who will be leaving for E n g l a n d at the end of November to study abroad for several m o n t h s . "Noye's

Fludde".

T h e music activities of this year were climaxed by the three night performance of Britten's "Noye's Fludde". T h e s e performances culminated six months of practice. F o r t u n a t e l y because of the enormous cast and the capacity to divide it up into several groups, the practices (apart from the soloists) did not come too frequently. "Noye's F l u d d e " is an ideal play for a school such as ours to perform. Firstly, its huge cast of 160 means that many boys, w h e t h e r as soloists, as stage assistants, as choristers or as instrumentalists, have an opportunity to show their talents. Secondly, the music is comparatively straight forward, thus almost any boy can have a direct part in it. Thirdly, it is both exciting and interesting for everyone from the cymbals or wind machine in the orchestra, to the ship-

builders or rabbits in the ark. Needless to add, it is fast moving and full of action. Fourthly, the music is good, its polished modernity has a certain exotic or weird quality which indicates Britten at his best. Fifthly, it is an important modernization of ancient, ecclesiastical folklore and as such, perhaps makes us aware that our religion like our music, must, to be able to bear its weight, be brought up to date if it is to be effective in this modern world.

T h e people behind the scenes, Mr. W e b b and the H.O.G. boys m u s t be commended on their excellent efforts in the scenery, and general lighting effects. T h e props., and masks were contrived in a masterly m a n n e r and added considerably to the atmosphere and effect of the play. T h e naivete, the very simplicity of the props, suggested the unmistakable mediaeval flavour. We were also grateful to the members of the orchestra.

Air. Lester and Miss Blowes took the leading roles as Noye and Mrs. Noye. T w o such experienced singers did much to stabilize the standard of the performance as both filled their parts admirably: they made excellent character studies. T h e part of the Voice of God was taken by Mr. Mackie, who with the help of the speaker system gave many of us a jolt when he spoke to the sinful. T h e parts of the sons, Jaffet, Sem and H a m , were played by D. E. Davies, P. L. Dixon (I. Penrose took the part on T h u r s d a y night), and N. Kidd, all of whom suited their parts well and sang musically. Their wives, R. Baxter, J. Cox, and C. McKenzie, cannot be left out when writing a musical appreciation of the play. T h e gossips, six girls, added m u c h to the flavour of the play in their captivating song. Although the individual music is simple, to co-ordinate the various branches—the choirs, the soloists, the orchestra, the stage assistants and the organ and carillion group—is more difficult. It is therefore due to the conductor, Mr. Martin, that the performances showed so much cohesion. W i t h o u t this cohesion it would not have been possible to bring the music out. Nevertheless to have it is only half the battle: Mr. Martin managed to give the performance a music interpretation and kept a suitable tempo throughout. T h e crescendo leading up to the storm and the diminuendo that followed it had a startling affect.

T h e overall performance can only be judged by those w h o saw it as a whole. J u d g i n g from most of the comments, the performance w a s impressive, often moving, even spectacular, of good quality musically and a good stage production.

T h e pathetic cries of the animals in the ark in the "Eternal Father, Strong to Save", arrangement made it one of the most moving episodes of the play. T h e entrance and exit of the animals in procession down and up the nave of the Church also had great effect. O n e cannot pass over the musical qualities of the play without mentioning the 'cello and the treble recorder solo which showed Britten in his most creative m o o d : the solos were lyrically beautiful episodes of rare, mystical exquisitness.

We were indeed fortunate in having the use of St. George's Church for the practices and performances and owe a debt of gratitude to the Minister and Session. Band. T h e Band commenced this year with a large number of experienced members. T h e y were aided by boys from the brass classes of last year who had shown promise. As a result the Band has increased in numbers from twenty-six to twenty-eight. Mr. Mawsoir our new bandmaster, soon had us in shape for the Commonwealth Youth Sunday March. In the second term, the Band played at the P.F.A. function at Anglesea to m a r k the shifting of the Burnside P.F.A. Camp to a new location. T h e next major event in the year was the annual Cadet Camp at Scrub Hill, Puckapunyal. T h e Band spent a day in camp preparing for the Sunday Church P a r a d e . After this, the Band did very little playing for the rest of the camp, most boys suffering from cracked lips. Most of camp was spent shooting, watching demonstrations, drilling and bivouacking. After Camp all time was spent on preparation for the Passing Out Parade. After the Passing O u t Cadet activities ceased. Rehearsals have continued for the Band's final performance for 1962 on Speech Day. Practices have been held on Monday lunch times and T h u r s d a y s during Cadets. It is apparent that if the Band is to improve its drill, rifle drill will have to be cut out to provide more time for actual Band drill.

LIBRARY O n e of the most prominent developments this year has been the unprecedented extent to which the Library has been used. We found that the increased use was especially evident at the upper end of the school. Undoubtedly this has been greatly augmented by the books which were lent to the Sixth F o r m Library. This selection contained more mature and advanced books. Along with the increased use, the Library has become harder to run and the w o r k has become considerably greater. This made all the more evident the need to expand. F o r t u n ately, because of Senior House's evacuation of their sitting room we have been able to take over this large room which is so conveniently situated next to the old library. T h e fiction, periodicals and several other sections will be moved into this extension next year leaving the old Library with the major reference sections. T h i s will greatly alleviate the pressure on the Old Library. D u e to the exodus of Senior House we have also been able to acquire the old p a n t r y and half the corridor outside which has been walled off for use as an archives room. We have increased the number of periodicals which will be shown to greater advantage in the new racks when the extension is put into use next year. N e w books have been coming to the Library, at a considerable rate and it m u s t be noticed that a considerable proportion of these have been Australian books. We are indebted to the following w h o have given donations of books and periodicals to the Library:—Sir Francis Rolland, Rev. A. D. H a l lam, St. George's Church, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Moreton, Mr. C. Cameron, Mr. A. Austin Gray, W. Canning and Company, State Electricity Commission. Mr. J. P. Matthews, Mr. A. N. Walls and the H e a d m a s t e r . Children's Book Council Meeting. On the 16th October, one member of the Library Council and six members of the Senior Library Committee went to the Public Library in Melbourne for a lecture by Mrs. J. M. Young, the Librarian at "Fintona", on "Raising the Standard of Reading in Schools". A m o n g the ideas presented which could be adapted for our library w e r e : having a special reference library for matriculation students, assessing the literary merit of each new book by having several people read it, form an opinion, and designate their appraisal by some kind of a symbol

inside the book, and finally by electing a few from each form to build up a balanced Library Committee. Library

Talks.

For second term, the L i b r a r y Council decided that the Library talks should have a common thread instead of dealing with m a n y diverse although interesting subjects. Accordingly the Monday talks were confined to Art, Education and Literature. Mr. W e b b delivered three talks on A r t . His talks dealt mainly with aspects of m o d e r n art and did much to remove m a n y of the prejudices which Collegians hold against this form of expression. In the series on Art, a fourth lecture was delivered by Mr. Finemore. "Aspects of Education in Australia" was unfortunately only a two talk series. Mr. Davey outlined new methods of teaching and also such problems as the effect of the "population bulge" and the question of State aid to independent schools, the latter being particularly important in view of the Goulburn Catholic Schools' "strike". T h e final topic, also consisting of two talks was "Australian Literature". Mr. M a h a r w h o dealt with this concentrated particularly on poetry. Since few Collegians know onuch about Australian literature, these lectures proved valuable in enlightening us on the writing of our own country. Regular talks were suspended during third term because of the disruptions caused by junior and senior examinations. T h e r e was however, one talk arranged by the S t a m p Club in cooperation with the Library and those w h o attended were privileged to hear Mr. W e b b give a talk on "Design of Australian Stamps", based on a lecture he had delivered to the Royal Victorian Philatelic Society. In the lecture, he explained the problems confronting s t a m p designers all over the world and how Australia had often failed to surmount those obstacles. It is a pity that the average attendance at these talks has been only thirty for although some of the topics were perhaps formidable, they were dealt with very ably. T h i s addition to the cultural life of the College is important for education certainly does not consist merely of passing examinations in specialized subjects— an educated man must know something of the finer sides of life.

DEBATING This year, the meetings of the Debating Society have been attended, on the whole, only by fifth and sixth formers. Mr. G. W. Young's place as master-in-charge has been taken by Mr. T. H. Reid, who has done the most valuable, but perhaps least appreciated, work of arranging debating fixtures and meetings. Mackie internal debates, third form public speaking and two W a r r i n n debates have, to some extent, compensated for lack of participation in the Society by the lower forms, but for many, the opportunity to learn to express themselves, is being missed—'which is a pity. Inter-school Debating To fulfil the society's aim of teaching people to speak confidently, as m a n y people as possible were given the opportunity of speaking in interschool debates. However, since the all-round standard of speaking was not high this year, we were unsuccessful in the three debates in which decisions were given. In the first debate, Messrs. R. N. Douglas, H. C. Forbes and A. G. H e n d e r s o n failed, in a lively debate, to convince the adjudicator " T h a t the W r i g h t brothers should not have stayed on the ground". T h e following week, Messrs. G. P. Bade, S. j . Miles and M . J . Knox, each speaking i n inter-school competition for the first time, were likewise, unsuccessful in supporting the motion, " T h a t Magellan did more for mankind than Gagarin". It is, however, noteworthy that the victors, the Geelong H i g h School girls, met Belmont H i g h School, winners of the third interschool debate, in the final. T h e best attended debate of the season was the final one in which Geelong College argued " T h a t hire purchase creates a good way of life" against Belmont H i g h School. Messrs. R. T. R. Russell, A.-J. McLeish and I. D. Corr spoke well, but the H i g h School spoke better. Geelong College was represented in the 3GL " F o r u m of Y o u t h " competition, in a fifth form debate " T h a t Australia is culturally backward". Messrs. R. T. R. Russell, A. J. McLeish and G. P. Bade were confident before the 3GL microphones, but no decision was given as to whether the College was or was not superior to the Geelong G r a m m a r School team. In the Geelong section of the "I speak for

Australia" competition, R. N. Douglas spoke unsuccessfully on Australia in the next fifty years. Internal Debating T h e r e was little internal debating during second term, most of the weekly meetings being occupied supporting the tearr., non-participants enjoying themselves asking questions whilst awaiting the adjudicator's verdict. However, on two weeks there were impromptu talks with various results. T h e r e was also a practice debate in which the topic of the W r i g h t brothers leaving the ground was argued, and an evening of discussion, prepared and otherwise, on Australia in the next fifty years. We were also fortunate in having an A grade Geelong District debate held at the College. T h e subject for this debate was " T h a t the gag on Public Servants should be removed" and all those who witnessed this stimulating and exciting debate between some of Geelong's best debaters, were impressed. T h e debate also satisfied the need for showing a really high standard of debating, a standard at which m e m b e r s of the Debating Society should aim. House Debating This year, for the first time, there was an organized Inter-house debating competition. To encourage the emergence of as yet undiscovered Ciceros, participation was limited to fifth formers and below, provided they had not taken part in inter-school competition. However, no orators were discovered and a low standard of debating was the result. But by introducing •more people to debating, it is hoped that there will be greater participation in the Society in future years. In the preliminary rounds, M c A r t h u r lost to Morrison and Shannon to Calvert in debates adjudicated by Mr. Henderson. T h e final " T h a t there is too much emphasis on sport in Geelong College" was unsuccessfully supported by Calvert in a spirited, if illogical debate before the whole school. This debate was adjudicated by Mr. G. Neilson. On two evenings during the second term, the College debated against " T h e H e r m i t a g e " , two debates being contested on each occasion. T h i s introduced the Intermediate forms to debates for the first time and the society opportunity provided w a s keenly appreciated.

T H E

P E G A S U S

P.F.A. T h e second half of the year has proved to be an interesting one for the P.F.A. We have been fortunate in hearing a n u m b e r of very good speakers whose subjects, although often oi considerable importance, have often been ones of which m o s t m e m b e r s are basically ignorant. Mr. Eggington, of the Mission for Seamen, spoke of the mission's w o r k and how necessary it was. T h e policy of having people to speak on other denominations was continued the week following, when Mr. Lewis spoke of the history and organization of the Baptist Church, showing how it is similar in m a n y respects to the P r e s b y t e r i a n Church. Mr. Mathews, the third speaker for second term, dealt with the topic of Symbols in Churches, explaining familiar but usually not understood inscriptions seen in churches. D u r i n g third term, t w o men spoke of their professions. Mr. Fielding, a Geelong solicitor, spoke of the L a w as a profession, and the following week, Mr. Jamieson, Administrative Assistant to the Principal, spoke on accounting and administration as a Christian vocation. M e m b e r s themselves contributed to the P.F.A.

in two Oxford Union debates, one on the subject '"That the new P r e p a r a t o r y School Building be financed by a lottery", and the other, " T h a t the introduction of m y x a m o t o s i s into Australia w a s a crime". A discussion of State aid to Church schools showed that the majority of m e m b e r s favoured the retention of the present system. T h e Question Box this year, w a s tackled by Mr. T h w a i t e s and Mr. Davey, w h o answered the T h o m a s e s in the P . F . A . in such a w a y as to put an end to their doubting. There was a Bible Quiz for juniors during test examination week. Film strips shown dealt with the Church in Indonesia and with the Ministry of the Church. At the annual badge dedication service, eighteen boys were presented with badges. This year, Mr. K. R. Clayton, w h o has assisted Air. M c L e a n since 1959, and conducted Bible S t u d y groups on Sundays, leaves the College P.F.A. All m e m b e r s are grateful for his valuable assistance, as we are for that of Mr. M c L e a n without w h o m there would be no P.F.A.

RAILWAY SOCIETY

FILMS

This, our second year of operation, has been far more successful than our first was, membership rising to twenty-eight. Mr. Keith and Mr. Mackie have helped us during the year. T h e major event for the year was the Beech Forest excursion in first term, and the magnitude of this tended to make some of our other outings seem very small. However, several very interesting trips were made. T h e Cement W o r k s private line was visited (but not travelled on, owing to unfortunate circumstances), and an excursion was made to the 135 foot Moorabool viaduct. T w o extremely interesting film lectures were given by Mr. Cullis of the Victorian Railways Traffic Branch. T h e subject of the first was "Victorian Railways Locomotives and Signalling", and the second was "Narrow Gauge W o r k i n g in Victoria". Mr. Cullis has also announced that he will give a " H i s t o r y of the Victorian Railways" as first prize in a railway p h o t o g r a p h competition which will end in F e b r u a r y or March, 1963. Between these two talks, w a s a film night at which the most interesting film was entitled "Railroading with Radar". Altogether a successful and enjoyable year was m a d e of 1962 and it is hoped that 1963 will be even better.

T h e projection of films has been carried out this year by Ian McLean, David Gardner and Richard Dufty, assisted by m a n y willing helpers. Mr. M a h a r acted as master-in-charge of films. T h e following films were screened on Saturday evenings and, despite occasional difficulties, they were thoroughly enjoyed by all w h o attended t h e m — " C a r r y on Teacher'', " T h e Caine Mutiny", " T h e Lavender Hill M o b " , "A Song to R e m e m b e r " , "Oliver Twist", " L u c k y Jim", " T h e L a d y Vanishes", " T h e Colditz Story", " F a t h e r B r o w n Detective", and " M e and the Colonel". A welcome addition to the Saturday evening p r o g r a m m e this year were films lent by the B.P., Shell, and A.M.I, companies. These films were usually concerned with one form of sport, especially various famous events in the motor car racing world. On several occasions, the sixth form Geography class have seen films relevant to their course, while films on a n a t o m y and sport have also been screened for the benefit of third form Physical Education classes. T h e Junior Clubs had films as their form oi activity on several T h u r s d a y afternoons. A most varied range of films, both of educational and entertainment value, were screened.

SOCIAL SERVICES D u r i n g the second and third terms the social services committee has again been active, bringing to the notice of the boys in the school through the medium of talks by committee members and outside speakers m a n y worthy causes. T h e Rev. E s m o n d New, an extraordinary man, told us of the plight of the natives in the N e w H e b r i d e s : how just a few short years ago these natives were savages and how many of them are now Christians. He urged our

support, both by our prayers and donations, foi the dedicated men who are bringing "light" into this land of "darkness". T h e Rev. M. Brewer from the British and Foreign Bible Society told us of its work in spreading the Gospel. He also presented the school with two silver badges to be pinned to the pennant we already possess. These badges were incribed with the years 1961 and 1962, and were presented in recognition of our support in the annual appeals of each of those years.

DRAMA

STAMP CLUB

Although no public performance was held this year, dramatic activities were pursued on two afternoons a week for most of the second school term. On each of these afternoons, a group of boys went by minibus to M o r o n g o where play readings were held.

This has been an outstanding year for the Club from the point of view of encouraging interest in philately. P e r h a p s the most essential factor in the success of such a club is the enthusiasm of its members, and with Mr. Lester's fatherly advice, we have now fifteen boys who can justly call themselves "philatelists". D u r i n g first and second terms we had a number of Sunday afternoon meetings, and although we were dogged by bad luck in inviting outside speakers, swapping proved as popular as ever. For most of the year we had the m u c h sought after exchange sheets at fortnightly lunch-time meetings, which proved to be of valuable assistance to those who wanted to sharpen their reflexes or be auctioneers. T w o exhibitions were held this year, and it is hoped that next year we shall have more speakers, but still the same overall enthusiasm which existed this year.

Several plays were read, and two, "Fools' Errand", an adaption of Chaucer's " P a r d o n er's Tale", and "Pictures on the Wall", a ghost story, were taken through a series of rehearsals on stage. T h e Morongo girls provided afternoon tea at each visit and the boys appreciated both this and the use of the Gertrude P r a t t Memorial Hall. Both boys and girls benefited by the opportunities provided for exercising their acting talents and also appeared to enjoy the social contact.

EXPLORA TION SOCIETY. Tasmanian Trip T h e need to "get away from it all" was this year satisfied for twenty boys, Mr. T. H. Reid and his brother, Mr. R W. Reid, who had volunteered to come on very short notice, by a tour of Tasmania. T h e first week or so was concerned mainly with hiking and walking; the second with sitting in the College and M o r o n g o minibuses as we were driven by the two Mr. Reids, over the gravel roads which form Tasmania's road network. T w o four-day hikes had been planned; the first over Freycinet Peninsula sufficed. H e a v y packs combined with inexperience and steep hills tended to discourage as did an erratic water supply. Less than an inch of rain had fallen on Freycinet for the year, we had been informed on going off on our hike, and we had accordingly taken water in any available container, including billies precariously held in one hand as we scrambled over the range of hills which separated Freycinet Peninsula from the minibuses. However, of water supply there proved to be no absence, and although we broke the drought, our thoughts were not ones of rejoicing, particularly when our clothes saturated, we discovered that one of the minibuses would not be giving shelter until a flat tyre had been replaced. However, despite adverse conditions, the .scenery was worth seeing, particularly W i n e Glass Bay, our camp site on two nights, acclaimed as being Tasmania's equivalent to the bays of tropical islands. Before we were to sink to the ranks of tourists, we had a day hike (without 30 pound packs), to Cape Pillar, Australia's highest sheer cliff. T h e hike was unsuccessful in that we failed to find Cape Pillar. But this was not discovered until a m a p revealed that our ten mile w-alk had taken us to a cliff a mere 500 feet in height, half that of Cape Pillar. As would be expected from any Tasmanian T o u r i n g party, we visited P o r t Arthur, to be rather appalled at the m e t h o d s employed by a British Government for dealing even with the worst criminal elements that the Industrial Revolution could produce. Before leaving the environs of P o r t A r t h u r , we had a morning hike to Cape Raoul.

On Sunday, May 20th, we had started on our hike over Freycinet Peninsula. On Sunday, 27th, we camped in the changing rooms of the Sandy Bay football club, hiking days over. Next m o r n i n g a green and a grey minibus left H o b a r t for Queenstown. All was well (and cold and drizzly) until about thirty-five miles out of Queenstown, the M o r o n g o bus refused to advance. Amazingly, rain had ceased, although Queenstown is a m o n g the w e t t e s t places in the state, but it was not until midnight that twenty-four Victorians were re-united in the Queenstown scouthall. T h e following day, the Mount Lyell mines and copper refining w o r k s were inspected in the morning, a visit being paid to Roseberry and the near ghost town of Zeehan. F r o m Queenstown, we travelled to Strahan and spent a day on a launch trip up Macquarie H a r b o u r , and along the Gordon River. Foi the first time w7e gained some impression of the density of W e s t Coast vegetation, views from the road being m a r r e d by the remains of a great fire in the 1890's. Overcast sky, w a t e r stained brown by tanic acid, and dull green vegetation, all made stories of cannibalism on the part of convicts escaped from the Macquarie H a r b o u r prison, seem appropriate. Camp w a s pitched that night in the S t r a h a n memorial park. T h e last day of travelling was spent in the trip from S t r a h a n to Launceston with detours to have a cursory inspection of the hyrdo-electric installations at Butler's Gorge, and Tarraleah. At about seven o'clock, we reached civilization, where we enjoyed the hospitality of the Smiths and the Bolgers, friends of Mr. Reid. Leaving early next morning, we arrived at Burnie with no more than m i n u t e s to spare for several of the M o r o n g o minibus tyres had succumbed and one had to be replaced. T h e plane trip from Burnie to Melbourne took place in ideal weather, and within ninety minutes of arriving at Burnie we had alighted at Melbourne. T h e trip had been an enjoyable one. The hikes, if hard, left us all with a sense of accomplishment (and made us appreciate still m o r e viewing the scenery of T a s m a n i a from the comfort of a minibus). T h e planning that had been put into the trip by Mr. Reid, enabled us to obtain an excellent picture of Tasmania, from

D E C E M B E R , its rather ordinary E a s t Coast, to the luxuriant W e s t coast, the freak rock formations of T a s m a n peninsula and the superb views from the T a s manian central highlands.

Flinders

Island

Trip.

On May, 24th, a party of Geelong Collegians left Melbourne by DC 3 and one and a half hours after departure, Mr. Mackie and Mr. Macmillan, leaders of the party, met Dr. Dorwood from Monash University at the airport. After a slight delay, the party was ferried from the airport to W h i t e m a r k , capital of Flinder's Island. After giving the town (population about 200) a quick glance over, most of the p a r t y headed for a store to buy supplies. At about 11.30 a.m., an ancient bus arrived and proceeded to ferry us all with equipment to L a d y Barron in the south, a distance of some 16 miles. Upon arrival, we were informed that there was a " h u t " we could 'use. T h e "hut" was an abandoned cannery 200 ft. long and 60 ft. wide! U p o n exploration, old freezing rooms w e r e found as was a ladder up to the ceiling. As rain was threatening, lunch was eaten inside. Fires were desired by some and were lit inside in drums for fire protection. As the fires were not burning well, owing to the wet iwood, some bright people decided to use some straw to build up their fire. Immediately curses rained thick on the culprits from a m o n g the dense clouds of choking smoke in the factory. T h e more optimistic consoled themselves that at least the smoke would discourage any " w o g s " in the building. T h e most important things done in the afternoon were the preparation of sleeping positions and insulation against the concrete floor, and the building of fire-places. After a boisterous tea, all turned in sometime before mid-night. T h e next m o r n i n g : gloom. It had rained all night, and looked like keeping it up all day (which it did). N o t h i n g much (was done that day except some took walks and bought extra stores. On Saturday, it was still raining, and by now the drainage system on the building

gave up in disgust ( W e had 3½ inches from the time of arrival.). By now the wood was low lor the fires, but wood was retrieved from the ceiling with only one or two feet going through the masonite. Sunday broke grey, but rainless. At once, we made a trip over to the southern islands, Great D o g and Little Dog, in the boat of Laurie W a l ker, a local fisherman. Dr. Dorwood, a Scot, who was a firm favourite with all by now, told us we were to count Cape Barren geese. A small party of four landed on Little D o g Island. We walked over to a mutton-birders' camp and based ourselves there. T h e n we went round the island m a p p i n g it and counting the Cape Barren geese pairs. Curses on mutton-birds were prevailing as feet sank through soft earth into burrows, and reached crescendos when the busrows were filled with water. After lunch we were picked up and informed by the others that they had been counting "wretched flocks of geese that wouldn't keep still". On Monday, the weather remained reasonably fine, so most of the p a r t y went out to the islands again. Mr. Macmillan and two others went by the bread delivery from L a d y Barron to the Airport. T h e r e they met Dr. Williams, from Monash University. During the day only half an inch of rain fell. On the Tuesday, there was only intermittent rain, so most of the party again went out to the Island. After Mr. Macmillan had finished skinning a Pacific gull, he and the two others who were with him the previous day, went out on the invitation of Athol Dart, a local farmer, to his property to inspect a cave that possibly contained bats. After being shown the cave and having a meal as the guests of Mr. Dart, we went to the island school. T h e r e we were given an interesting talk and shown some slides of the island. We were also treated to supper. ( T h e school is a primary one only, and there are 260 pupils, approximately. Of these, only 16 do not come by bus from varying distances of up to 30 miles). O u r secojid last day, W e d n e s d a y , was reasonably fine and most of the boys again went out to the southern islands. Mr. Macmillan, Mr. Mackie and three boys went on a tour of the main island, conducted by the W a r d e n ( T a s manian equivalent of Shire President). New Soldier Settlement farms were pointed out and other signs of progress.

T H E

P E G A S U S

T h e last day, T h u r s d a y , May 31st, was busy. T h e factory floor was swept, and equipment packed. All was loaded on the bus, and after some farewells to good friends, we pulled out and journeyed to the W h i t e m a r k Airport, where the ladies of the local C.W.A. gave us an excellent m o r n i n g tea, leaving us with the impres-

sion that they knew how to bake a cake. After the customary delay, we climbed aboard our plane (Special Flight A ) . T h e engines started, we rolled into position on the r u n w a y and then lumbered off and away from a happy time and our new friends.

N u m b e r s were restricted this year by the new ruling that only F o u r t h Forms and above could join, and by the granting of exemption to second year Sixth F o r m e r s w h o had served four years in the cadets. As m a n y of this year's F o u r t h F o r m e r s were cadets last year, the number of new recruits barely filled two platoons, and reduced the strength to 279. Some recovery should take place n e x t year.

This took place on C o m m o n w e a l t h Youth Sunday on 6th May. O n c e again we were grateful to the Geelong H i g h l a n d Pipe Band, which each year turns out with us for this parade.

Before this, the more experienced 1 Platoon had provided a Guard of H o n o u r for the Anzac Day march for which they were thanked and congratulated by the local R.S.L. Range practices filled every Saturday m o r n ing at the end of first term. Gone are the old "bull's eye" type targets and instead, the new silhouette "head and shoulders" type have replaced them.

T i m e was found to fire the local eliminations of the Clowes' Cup and Earl R o b e r t s ' trophy. To our pleasure, the aggregate score of our team was the best for the day, so the 17th Australian Infantry Brigade Shield and the 24th Cadet Battalion Shield both came to College for a twelve m o n t h stay. C a m p was at Scrub Hill and during t e r m holidays. This led to a few cases of self pity. Despite the weather of the previous two intakes, our stay was fortunate. Being right

D E C E M B E R , alongside the training area is a tremendous advantage. On the T h u r s d a y we saw two demonstrations of interest. T h e A r m y Service Corps showed their latest equipment including parachutes and containers, and in the afternoon came a spectacular display by the tanks of the Armoured Regiment. It was a demonstration of fire power and mobility that no lecture could have adequately described. We also had the pleasure of hearing that both Guard and Drill teams were selected for the finals. T h i r d term was not two weeks old when the annual gymkhana date arrived and off went our teams, military and athletic, to Scotch College. It was a day of considerable tension for the people who had trained so hard for so long. But the results were extremely pleasing to everyone concerned. T h e Drill Platoon won, after a very close competition, thus bringing back the Shield, which left us in 1956, after seven consecutive wins. T h e 3 inch mortar crew also won, completing the hat trick of three successive wins, at the last appearance of this well k n o w n 'weapon. T h e signal section, was second to Lilydale H i g h and the Guard improved from sixth place in eliminations to fourth place in the finals. T h e last public appearance of the Unit, for

1962.

the year, was the " P a s s i n g O u t P a r a d e " , held on 18th October. O u r chief guest was the Commander, 3 Cadet Brigade, Lt. Col. S. Walsh, with representatives of local establishments, Lt. Col. J. McNeill of the City of Geelong Regiment and representatives of infantry and the United Service Institute. T h e chief event of the day was the retirement of Capt. J. H. Campbell, after 22 years as Q u a r t e r Master. To him was the honour of leading the "Passing O u t Company". He then accepted with our sincere thanks, a memento of his association with the unit. This was a flat polished box made by the College carpenter, with a Glengarry badge inset in the lid and a silver plaque inscribed: "Capt. J. H. Campbell, Q.M. 1940-1962". T h e box contained three new pipes with compartments for six. This, in case anyone doubted it, was to remind him of the Scottish tradition of the unit. In a parting speech, " J . H . " had a few valuable remarks to make on the subject of training to accept responsibility and the value of cadet training in this regard. Colonel W a l s h also spoke with particularly effective force. T h e final March P a s t and dismissal pleted another good training year.

UNITED NATIONS This year there has again been activity in the school by those interested in the United Nations Organization. R. N. Douglas, P. Hobart, I. R. A. M c L e a n and S. J. Miles attended an All Schools' D a y Conference at St. Catherine's School on June 23rd. T h e theme of the conference was "Changing W i n d s in Africa." Professor Zelman Cowan, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Melbourne University, delivered an address consisting of a most comprehensive coverage of the African situation to the present day. Mr. T. A. P y m a n , a member of the Australian delegation to the U . N . General Assembly in 1955 and 1957, spoke on the part played by the U.N. in the Congo crisis. Two lively discussions covering points raised by the speakers were held, and followed by films covering aspects of the w o r k of the United Nations Organization. On United Nations' Day,

October

24th,

special assembly was held in the Morrison Hall. Prayers offered for the continuation of the work of the United Nations were followed by the reading of the preamble to the United Nations' charter. Mr. Quick then outlined the work of some of the specialized agencies. He emphasized the necessity of being aware of the work of the TJ.N. and having faith in its ability to keep the world in peaceful co-existence. However, this cannot happen unless we contribute something towards the U.N. T h e flag of the United Nations Organization was flown over the school throughout the day. Mr. Quick prepared a contest based on the United Nations Organization and its agencies. This was entered by m a n y who were able to learn something more about the United Nations while searching for answers : to the contest questionnaire.

SCIENCE CLUB Secretary: Committee:

M. R. Campbell. W. E. Cameron, R. N. Douglas, J. McK. Mitchell.

This year the Science Club was guided, initially by Mr. Money, but during the second and third terms by Mr. Grainger and Mr. Money. Both provided invaluable assistance, criticism and advice to m e m b e r s . Although the club was not very successful at the beginning of the year it gradually gained m o m e n t u m and went from strength to strength F r o m second term onwards membership had to be limited. A wide variety or projects and experiments were attempted successfully. — Castner process for the manufacture of Sodium ( P . H o b a r t ) . — Nickel P l a t i n g (R. Nation). — Cathode Ray Oscilloscope and associated electronic equipment (J. Mitchell). — Colloids (A. P r o u d f o o t ) . — Cotterill Electrostatic Precipitator (R. Peck). — Induction T u b e and Discharge T u b e (M Campbell and J. Mitchell). This year the club did not go on any excursions or invite speakers to address the club as originally intended, but next year this will be a major part in the club's activities. Also, next year, it is intended that the club become financial, a charge being made of 5 / - per term.

P E G A S U S

"ICARUS" " I c a r u s " has almost become an accepted part of College life. No longer a novelty, it has become the magazine for complaint, comment and composition. Although the main raison d'etre of the " I c a r u s " is to encourage literary and cultural activities in the College, it derives about 30'% of its contents and a considerable part of its popularity from " L e t t e r s to the Editor", which discuss diverse aspects of school life ranging from the layout of " P e g a s u s " to the state of the minibus tyres. "Reviews and P r e v i e w s " includes essentially reviews but the full title is retained to satisfy the editors' love of assonance. T h e "Inspiration and . . ." fortunately forms the largest section in " I c a r u s " and as long as this is the case. " I c a r u s " will be serving its purpose as the breeding group for Nobel prize winners in Literature and . . . A fourth section " C o m m e n t s " was introduced it: the June " I c a r u s " to accommodate the School Opinion Poll, and several unclassifiable articles, and retained in the A u g u s t issue for the Sixth form poll results. T h e r e were four issues this year, but these have been considerably larger than the corresponding issues of last year, reflecting an increasing interest in the magazine. However, " I c a r u s " can remain only as long as people contribute to it. It is controlled exclusively by the boys of the school, and its fate rests with the boys of the school.

JUNIOR CLUBS

HIPPOCRENE

T h e T h i r d F o r m T h u r s d a y afternoon clubs have completed a satisfactory opening year in which boys have sampled a range of activities from those offered. This term rifle shooting was available for the first time and proved popular to the point ol embarrassment, so that it became necessary to give a large n u m b e r of aspiring riflemen a small amount of shooting. T h e year has been an interesting experiment, with teachers and taught all learning a great deal. Connected with this work was the tour in north-eastern Victoria, last August, when 64 boys widened their horizons and acquired some special knowledge of the U p p e r M u r r a y region and the Kiewa and Snowy power developments.

At the suggestion of interested sixth formers a small literary group was formed this year. It wTas decided to use the name, Hippocrene, the spring "beloved of p o e t s " which had s p r u n g up where the hoof of P e g a s u s first struck the earth on Mount Helicon. Mr. M a h a r was asked to lead the group and a n u m b e r of meetings were held in his home. T h e intention w a s to have play readings, discussion and music listening evenings and also to attend Melbourne and Geelong T h e a t r e performances. Trips made during the year were to Alan Seymour's " T h e One D a y of the Year", Carl Orff's " C a r m i n a B u r a n a " and Benjamin Britten's "St. Nicholas Cantata", and R a y Lawler's "Piccadilly Bushman".

P E G A S U S

Mr. LESLIE /. CAMPBELL Announcement has been made that Mr. L. J. Campbell will retire at the end of this year from the position of H e a d m a s t e r of the P r e p a r a t o r y School. Mr. Campbell joined the staff in 1922 and was appointed H o u s e - m a s t e r in charge of W a r rinn House, a position he held until 1933 when he moved across to Junior H o u s e soon after it was established. Previously, the younger boarders had lived in W a r r i n n under his supervision and later lived in the present Hospital, which was then popularly known as the "Baby Health Centre." He taught in the Senior School until in 1930 the Council appointed him H e a d m a s t e r of the P r e p a r a t o r y School, which then had a total enrolment of about fifty boys. U n d e r Mr. Campbell's direction, the P r e p a r a t o r y School and Junior H o u s e steadily g r e w and developed. It was not long before the need was recognized for a Kindergarten, to provide for those boys w h o had begun at the M o r o n g o N u r s e r y School and had reached the age when the M o r o n g o Junior School could net cater for them. Consequently, in 1931 the Kindergarten 'was established and soon moved to its own building in the north-west corner of the property.

T h e stage was reached in 1933 when the P r e p a r a t o r y School was separated from the Senior School, holding its own assembly, sports meetings, speech day and so on. However, Mr. Campbell was always careful to preserve in the boys an awareness that they were an integral part of Geelong College, taking a part in school functions and occasions. W i t h Mr. Campbell in charge, Junior H o u s e reached a high standard which parents soon appreciated, so that there were m a n y more applications for admission than could be granted. He was greatly assisted by Miss R. Fraser, who was m a t r o n for m a n y years, carrying out her duties in such a t h o r o u g h m a n n e r that she earned the complete confidence of the parents. Amidst his m a n y duties, Mr. Campbell was able to maintain an active interest in rowing and coached the First V I I I in 1932-33. H i s connection with the Boat Club has been comm e m o r a t e d by naming one of the fours the "L.J.C." T h e r e are m a n y men w h o recall the name "Frosty" Campbell with affection and feel gratitude for the abiding influence he has had on them. In the history of Geelong College he will always be remembered as the one w h o for 33 years moulded the P r e p a r a t o y School while the w a x w a s still soft.

AN APPRECIATION BY Sir FRANCIS ROLL AND Mr. Campbell always seemed to me to be a man with mysterious gifts. F o r one thing every one who knew him at all was really glad to do him a service, without his asking it. F o r another he had an uncanny insight into the ambitions and motives of young boys. I rarely heard an annual Report of his without gaining fresh light on the n a t u r e of the boy. He was a teacher who, if a pupil did not grasp some lesson, would be less inclined to blame him, than to ask himself " W h a t was w r o n g in my presentation of that subject? Could I approach it from another angle?" He regarded each boy as a sacred trust. He did not preach much to them. But his own life with its firm gentleness, its courage in the face of ill health, its unselfishness and deep humility gave its own teaching. Tt was because P r e p a r a t o r y School parents

were conscious of this influence that so many almost dreaded the day when their sons would "leave" Mr. Campbell. He was not only the head of the P r e p a r a t o r y School. He was also in charge of the Junior Boarding House. I fear that too much was asked of him. We would acknowledge that without the devoted assistance of his First Lieutenant, Mr. Ewen McLean, it would have been very difficuh for him to do his own invaluable work. T h e s e two men were the foundation of the P r e p a r a t o r y School and set its standards. It is impossible to put into a few words a sense of the contribution that Mr. Campbell has m a d e to the life of the College. B u t w h a t e v e r a born teacher could do, w h a t e v e r a lover of boys could do, whatever a m a n possessed of faith and hope and charity could do—this m a n of genius

did.

HOUSE ACTIIV1TIE MACKIE HOUSE Housemaster: J. A. Carrington, Esq. Assistant Masters: K. R. Clayton, Esq.; T. L Macmillan, Esq.; B. R. W a r d l e , Esq. House Captain: R. N. Douglas. House Prefect: I. R. A. M c L e a n ; D. G. Peace. Resident Captain of School: S. J. Miles. 1962 has seen a further step towards the attainment of the vertical house system with the introduction of fifth formers into the house. This group forms the house committee which had previously comprised third formers. Some of these still have limited authority in the Library and Games Committees and the H o u s e subcommittee. T h e presence of senior boys in Mackie has made no difference to the traditional smooth running of the house. In addition to the advantages of being the school's luxury house, the m e m b e r s of Mackie have continued to enjoy the valuable and entertaining activities of the Mackie Exploration Society, under the leadership of Mr. Macmillan, w h o has been assisted by Mr. Clayton. House debating was re-introduced during second term on Sundays after evening Church, giving an opportunity for enthusiastic oratory. T.V. and pingpong are as popular as ever. Baseball was played after tea following the conclusion of lower school examinations. T h e culmination of the year was the end of year concert in which members of the house displayed their talents as entertainers. Mackie has maintained the pleasant atmosphere characteristic to it; this atmosphere is a tribute to the unceasing care of Mr. Carrington for the welfare of the House. T h e tireless w o r k of Mrs. V a n Bergem is reflected in the high standard of cleanliness of the house . . . and the boys, and her kindly attitude to the boys of the house has been very much appreciated. It is with regret we say good-bye this year to Mr. Clayton w h o has, over the last four years, devoted himself to imany sides of house and school life.

SENIOR HOUSE Housemaster: Assistant Masters:

R. G. Mackie, Esq. R. D. Money, Esq.; G. C. Robertson, Esq.; M. B Keary, Esq.; M. G. Ham., Esq.; A. J. E. Lawson, Esq. House Captain: M. J. Knox. Vice-Captain: P. M. Hobday. House Prefects: D. M. Birks, G. K. Brown, D. E. Gardner, M. D. Gretton-Watson.

This year is notable for three important events which have occurred during the year. T h e first is the appointment of Mr. Mackie as Housemaster. T h e second is that Third F o r m ers, for the first time, are living in the house, as the first stage of Air. T h w a i t e s ' proposed parallel H o u s e System. T h e third is that Senior House have taken over three dormitories and the bath-room : n the old Rolland House. T h e remaining dormitory has been changed into a flat for a married resident housemaster. Many old boys who remember Dormitory 8, with affection, will regret to learn that it has been converted into a classroom. We have also taken over Room A for a recreation room as the old one is being extended into a library. T h e gratitude of the H o u s e should be expressed to Mr. Robertson, who relinquished the Housemastership at the start of second term. Mr. Robertson had been H o u s e m a s t e r for a little more than three years, during which time he earned the respect of every boy in the house. T h e H o u s e has been kept busy with activities through the year and as the year closes there is a squash T o u r n a m e n t being played. This activity, started by Mr. Money, is being arranged under the guidance of H e n d e r s o n and Corr, who have devoted a lot of time to it. As well as this, Mr. Mackie has taken a party of boys down to the O t w a y Ranges for a week-end and we hope this will not be the last trip. In second term, we held our annual dance and from all reports it was a success.

C. A. Bickford, Esq. T. V. Dowde, Esq.; L. G. H a t t o n , Esq.; J. R. Hunter, E s q ; D. Balfour. D. K. Calvert, S. T. H o o d .

W a r r i n n this year was greatly improved by a "dash" of paint inside and the outside could well do with some too. T h e bath-room was greatly improved by new wall coverings and paint. As W a r r i n n is under more than one roof it is a little difficult to keep an eye on every boy in the House. However, in this respect ali those in authority have done well. T h e H o u s e has run smoothly throughout the year, and thanks to Air. Bickford the H o u s e has been respected by boys and masters. But not all the thanks go to Air. Bickford; his assistants, in Mr. Dowde, Air. H a t t o n and Air. H u n t e r , have also done valuable w o r k to keep the H o u s e running smoothly and efficiently. As is known by most of the House and by m a n y boys of the school, Mr. Bickford is leaving W a r r i n n . H i s place is being taken by an old Collegian, Air. Elliott, w h o is teaching at "Timber T o p " at the moment. We hope that he will be as good as the previous H o u s e masters. D u r i n g the last few weeks the bicycle shed at the old prep, has been enclosed for the protection of bicycles from intruders. Once again, as the year closes, the masters and boys look forward for a rest after exams. This year boys from W a r r i n n had a day out at T o r q u a y . A barbecue was held on that day and it fittingly drew this year for W a r r i n n boys to a close.

CALVERT HOUSE Housemaster: F. R. Quick, Esq. Assistant Master: T. H. Reid, Esq. House Captain: D. M. Berney. Vice-Captain: J. E. Davies. House Prefects: K. A. I. MacLean, J. McK. Mitchell, P. M. Hobart. Once again Calvert H o u s e has completed a most successful year. We commenced the year with Mr. Quick as H o u s e Master, and welcomed as assistant H o u s e Alaster, Mr. Reid. Both

gave energetic guidance throughout the year. T h e Day H o u s e had 45 boys, three joining us later in the year. A special welcome was extended to K. P a d m a n a t h a n . Settling down into its second year, the newly adopted H o u s e systeim appears to have been most successful. It has facilitated the administration of the House, and has b r o u g h t the boys into closer contact with their H o u s e m a s t e r . Because of the close struggle in the H o u s e Competition, greater H o u s e spirit and enthusiasm to win the competition have been shown.

SPORT Captain: J. E. Davies. Vice-Captain: D. M. Berney. T h e sports house competed most earnestly in all aspects of the House activities. E a r l y in the year it became evident that the competition would be a close struggle. T h e House swimming sports gave AfcArthui a narrow win from Calvert. This year's representation was the best seen for m a n y years. Congratulations go to P. M u r r a y w h o won the Open Championship, and D. Leslie w h o was second. In the H o u s e rowing, Calvert drew second station and the " P e g I I I " . T h r e a t e n e d once again by the M c A r t h u r combination, Calvert fought well to second place, by I of a length having lost much ground by crabbing at the start. T h e crew w a s ; J. D. Troedel, D. M. Berney, R. J. Irvine, D. E. Gardner, T. J. Holden, W. T. Troedel, R. J. Lawler, C. W. W h i t e h e a d , W. G. Downey. T h e H o u s e football team wras again coached by Air. Quick. It was captained by S. T. Green, J o h n Davies being injured early in the season. T h e match against AlcArthur w a s the decisive one for each H o u s e at football and it was a great match. A better co-ordination of all players and perseverance won the day, however. In the Cross Country event Calvert was strong as in 1961. W. T. Troedel came in first for Calvert ( I n third field placing), and the H o u s e had m a n y higher standards. After the H o u s e Athletic Sports great speculation arose as the H o u s e competition points showed: Calvert 80, M c A r t h u r 794-. W h o would win the Athletics Standards?

T h e primary aim of the H o u s e has been to increase each boy's participation in the various aspects of school life, and to make possible an understanding supervision of his activities. To achieve this aim, various measures have been taken, including the requirement for each boy below Sixth F o r m to see Mr. M a h a r personally

once a week, the weekly meetings during second term of all Sixth F o r m members of the House, and the formal interviews between boy and housemaster twice during the year to assess the boy's progress in the light of his School Reports. One of the secondary aims of the day house is administrative. Within its scope lie many varying functions, and these include the checking of rolls at sports meetings and on various other occasions, the supervision of school dress, the allocation of lockers and the control oi sport-night attendances. To carry out all these functions efficiently, McArthur, this year, devised a system of organization whereby there was a chain of command from the H o u s e m a s t e r to the b o t t o m of the house. T h e house was divided into nine groups, each consisting ol approximately five boys. Each group w a s under the leadership of a group leader, who, with two other group leaders, was under the leadership of a house prefect. T h r o u g h such an organization, M c A r t h u r was able to give responsibility to a large number of boys in the house, and in addition, to give each boy the feeling of being known as an individual very early in the year. This system has actively encouraged cooperation between boys and as a consequence has been most effective. M c A r t h u r has been well served ,by its P r e fects and particularly so by Andrews, the House Captain, w h o has devoted much time and effort to the welfare of his house.

SPORT Captain: H. C. Forbes. One of the features of M c A r t h u r H o u s e Sport this year has been the fact that the boys have themselves taken the responsibility for seeing that attendance is maintained and H o u s e teams arc picked. This has been particularly noticeable in attendance at Athletics Standards where the day boys have been responsible to theii group leaders and boarders have been responsible to H u g h Forbes and Roger Douglas, both of whom have been most reliable. T h e sporting activities have been very exciting throughout the year and they have been marked by close competition, particularly with Calvert H o u s e : the swimming sports were not decided until the last event, rowing brought a remarkably close finish after Calvert's initial misfortune, the M c A r t h u r football team which was so strong on paper was defeated, a tremendous interest was taken in Athletic Standards, and finally the H o u s e Competition winner was

T H E

in doubt until after the Tennis, the final competition. Inter-house competition was also held in Music where the H o u s e was under the directi o n of D. E. McLellan, and for the first time competitions 'were held in Debating at both fifth and third form levels. T h e H o u s e has received its leadership from a number of boys apart from Forbes and Andr e w s : W. L. L e h m a n n was stroke of the V I I I , Captain of the X V I I I and Captain of Athletics; M. D. G r e t t o n - W a t s o n was Captain of Cricket; C. G. Seward Captain of Swimming; G. D. Johnstone Captain of Shooting and A. G. Henderson Captain of Tennis. An added encouragement to H o u s e unity and enthusiasm has been the decision of the General H o u s e Committee to allow the Houses to award their own Colours. Football, Athletics and Tennis colours were the first to be awarded under the new system.

HOUSE COLOUR AWARDS: Cricket: Andrews, G. E, T. Brown, G. K. Football: Andrews, G. E. T. Andrews, K. T. G r e t t o n - W a t s o n , M. D. Rozving: Andrews, K. T. Forbes, A. J.

MORRISON HOUSE Housemaster: K. W. Nicolson, Esq. Assistant Master: H. L. E. Dunkley, Esq. House Captain: G. P. Hallebone. House Prefects: R. P. McCann, T. F. McNair. Although this is the second year under the new system it is only now becoming apparent to m a n y of the boys that this organization is contributing immensely to the atmosphere ot the school.

P E G A S U S Unfortunately, in about five or six years, Morrison will not have any day-boy m e m b e r s , because the present Senior H o u s e will eventually become Morrison House. As a result, we had only 42 boys in the H o u s e , which tended to contribute to a closer understanding between H o u s e m a s t e r and boys, and also to improve conditions considerably. T h e sports lockers were not so crowded, and supervision was generally made much easier for those in authority.

SPORT Captain: P. M. Hobday. Vice-Captain: G. P. Hallebone. Morrison H o u s e was the largest sports house this year. We had a noticeable lack of gifted sportsmen, and so our performances were a credit to those of the house w h o were prepared to put everything into the competition. In swimming and athletics we battled with Shannon for last place, although in the athletics we were hampered by injuries to some of out leading athletes. At cricket, led by G. P. Hallebone, we did not win a match, although the team performed quite well against more experienced opponents. D. Birks was captain of the rowing, and in a fairly close finish, we were placed third. O u r football team looked impressive on paper, but we were beaten by M c A r t h u r and Calvert. We managed to beat our rivals, Shannon, however. R. Russell was captain of the XVIII. T h e house shooting team came third with D. Davies as non-firing captain. In the house music competitions we achieved a high standard, and we w e r e narrowly beaten by Calvert for first place.

HOUSE COLOUR AWARDS: Swimming: Manger, G. J. Football: Barnet, P. J. Hood, S. T. Emerson, C. P. Russell, R. T. R. Rowing: Champ, J. H. Cricket: Leigh, T. M. Barnet, P. J. Athletics: John, G. H.

was the only taste of success we had, as we came last in the rowing, both in the eights and fours, and third in the swimming.

SHANNON HOUSE Housemaster: E. B. Lester, Esq. Assistant Master: J. R. Hunter, Esq. House Captain: M. R. Campbell. House Prefects: A. P. Sheahan, G. R. Synot. This year there were 53 boys in Shannon House. However, as the new "vertical" house system has not yet been fully implemented, many ideals and aims of that system could not be achieved, and probably will not be achieved until each boarding and day-house becomes a separate sporting entity. For this reason, house spirit was somewhat lacking. However, there was more continuity of relationship to one master—unlike the old "Knowle H o u s e " days. Shannon is fortunate in having, as H o u s e master, Mr. Lester who is always ready to assist or offer advice to any boy.

SPORT Captain: M. J. Knox. Vice-Captains: B. Mulligan, A. P. Sheahan. This year Shannon did not enjoy a high standard of success in the sporting field. However, one bright spot was our win in the open cricket for the third successive year. However, this

T h e football team was particularly weak. We did not win a game in either the open or under age division. This standard was maintained in the shooting. However, we did come second in the Cross Country and a few athletes carried the burden to bring us to third place in the athletics. T h e Standards competition and the House Tennis decided our final position.

SPORT FOOTBALL T h e College First X V I I I w a s in a Grand Final in 1959. T h a t was a very good year, but this year, 1962, was quite remarkable for long and sustained fighting back. Early, playing at St. Kevin's in the first P.S. match, the team lost Captain J o h n Davies and full forward E m e r s o n , and its attack faded and it was defeated. T h e team was then faced with the fact of having to win all remaining matches by a margin of five or six goals to have a chance of being in the Final round. Players faced this tremendous task with great determination, and enthusiasm. All matches were played with an amazingly consistent, a1lquarters performance until finally came the never to be forgotten match against G r a m m a r at Corio. Before the game, players knew they had to win by six goals to keep either Gramm a r or St. Kevin's out of the Final on percentages. Right from the start with great determination, steady positional play, good drop kicking, and tremendous high marking, especially by G. A n d r e w s , the team won this match and the right to play W e s l e y for the Premiership. As in 1959, the X V I I I met W e s l e y on their own ground. T h e y were playing for their fourth P r e m i e r s h i p in a row, with a fast and clever side. T h e i r early speed and superior handling of the wet ball put them in front. However, in the last quarter College won in the air and drew close to its first Premiership for thirty years by kicking three goals to nil. Again the team demonstrated its great fighting qualities. Congratulations m u s t go to W e s l e y for their amazing form over so m a n y years and for their great play in the Final in 1962. T h e College side had a splendid season. T h e boys trained hard, obeyed instructions from both captain and coach, kept in position and never gave up. Congratulations should also go t o : John Davies, for courageously playing on injured legs and for so ably doing his captain's j o b ; G. Andrews, K. A n d r e w s , Brown, Green, Paton, Russell and Sheahan, for winning H o n o u r s ; Green, for gaining selection in the Combined P.S. side; and coaches Ian Blair and Jim Fidge and the second X V I I I for winning the V. H. Profitt Cup. T h e U n d e r 16A team also performed creditably this year, winning six of its ten matches. This performance was achieved, despite the fact that five U n d e r 16 boys played in the First

X V I I I . It was not possible therefore, to field the same team in successive matches, and this was an unsettling influence which had to be overcome. This was done m o s t effectively, team spirit being particularly strong. D u r i n g the season, two or three nights w e r e spent in U n d e r 16 training each week. Circuit training was also introduced for the first time, which resulted in a m a r k e d improvement in the team's stamina. No football season can be successful without a great deal of help and, as in past seasons support was received from umpires, domestic staff, coaches, trainers, Old B o y enthusiasts and, in particular, Mr. E. B. Davies, w h o instituted and supervises our circuit training.

FIRST XVIII Coach: F. R. Quick, Esq. FIRST PS. MATCH St. Kevin's College v. Geelong College at St. Kevin's, on 23rd June. T h e ground was d a m p but firm, with a slight westerly breeze and brilliant sunshine. Davies won the toss and decided to kick to the eastern end of the ground. St. Kevin's began at a fast pace and kept it up, winning the ball from College players often. However, College managed to keep the ball at their forward line for m o s t of the quarter. Highlight of this quarter w a s a brilliant leftfoot goal from Green. In a congested second quarter, St. Kevin's had the advantage of the breeze a n d m a d e the most of their opportunities. College players were often caught flat-footed during this quarter. After half-time, College tried repeatedly to score goals, b u t inaccurate kicking resulted in m a n y behinds being bustled by the fast St. Kevin's side. In the final quarter, P a t o n consistently cleared the ball from the St. Kevin's goal, b u t poor m a r k i n g by the College let St. Kevin's t h r o u g h often. After being goalless for two quarters, College at last scored t h r o u g h Russell. Scores\ Quarter 1 2 3 4

D E C E M B E R , SECOND P.S. MATCH Gee long College v. H alley bury College at Geelong College, on 30th June. T h e ground was firm but wet and there was a strong westerly blowing down the ground. L e h m a n n won the toss and decided to kick with the wind. Both teams were nervous at the start, but though scrambly, play was fast. T h e ball stayed down in the College forward zone most of the quarter, and Sheahan and Andrews stopped nearly all Haileybury attacks. In the second quarter, the game was played in packs and poor play resulted. Haileybury scored early in the quarter, but College again took the ball up to their forward zone where it remained most of the time. Kicking with the wind, College had most of the play in the third quarter. College started quickly with a goal seconds after the quarter started. T h e r e was much poor kicking and fumbling by College in this quarter. During the final quarter, College relaxed slightly and Hailebury scored their two goals for the match. P o o r kicking by both sides was most noticeable. Scores: Quarter H.C.

Andrews, Forbes. THIRD P.S. MATCH Carey Baptist Grammar School v. Geelong College at Carey, on 20th July. T h e r e was a s t r o n g breeze blowing across the ground all day. T h e ground was damp but in good condition. College lost the toss and kicked up the ground. T h e game started with a congested first quarter with m a n y packs and some fumbling of the ball. Carey won in the ruck but College won around the packs and took many marks. T h e second quarter was noted for the inability of College to pick the ball from the ground. Play still remained crowded, with Carey winning in the ruck. Carey had most of the play, but did not score a goal until late in the quarter. After half-time, Carey came out determined to beat College. College had most of the play in the first half, but twice Carey went ahead. College soon went ahead and with some brilliant play scored four goals very quickly. In the last quarter, Carey tried repeatedly to catch up, but College responded to the challerge and increased their lead. College marked above Carey all the time and started to win in the rucks. Some brilliant pieces of play left College's opponents floundering.

T h e ground was firm and there was a breeze across the ground favouring the northern goals. Davies won the toss and kicked with the wind. At the start of the game, College settled down and scored soon after the game began. G r a m m a r won in the ruck during the quarter, and often attacked with good marks. T o w a r d s the end of the quarter, College had m a n y attempts to score. At the start of the second quarter, G r a m m a r sent the ball to their forward line, which became crowded, thus causing G r a m m a r to lose many opportunities to score. College tried often to score but only a goal from the half forward line was accomplished. After half time, G r a m m a r came out refreshed and attacked. T h e ball was sent to College's forward line where G. Andrews scored a goal. For most of the quarter, College attacked often but G r a m m a r scored their first goal after the ball rolled through the goal posts. In the last quarter, G r a m m a r attacked determinedly to try to catch College. Clever play was seen on both sides but G r a m m a r kept the ball in their half forward line for most of the quarter. Scores: Quarter G.G.S.

FINAL PS. MATCH Wesley College v. Geelong College at Wesley, on 3rd August. T h e r e was a light breeze blowing and the ground was in fair condition with some slippery patches. T h e first quarter was notable for the many W e s l e y attacks. College played well and good play stopped m a n y attacks. Many marks were taken during the quarter. At the start of the second quarter, College took the ball down to their forward line, but

T H E

W e s l e y played well and cleared. Wesley marked well and always had a loose player on the field to take the ball. After half time Wesley, with a good display of football, kicked four goals in the first ten minutes. College tried often to score but succeeded only twice. In the last quarter, College started to play well. T h e y put the ball in their forward line and stopped m a n y W e s l e y attempts to score. Scores: Quarter W.C.

TENNIS Although entries for the annual College-Hermitage-Morongo mixed doubles tournament this year were fewer than in past years, because of a clash with V . F . L . football finals, it was again a success. T h e w i n n e r s were Helen Jackson ( H e r m i t a g e ) and Ian Corr. T h e r e was rather m o r e interest taken in the H o u s e Tennis this year. It w a s the last inter-House contest, and it was known that the result could determine the premier sports house for 1962. T h e Calvert team proved too strong for all its rivals.

HOCKEY Coach: R. G. Mackie, Esq. This year, the College fielded its first hockey team. Practices were conducted on the Old Prep. School oval, on Tuesdays, and at the N e w Prep, on Fridays. T h e College provided over 30 players, enough to make up a First and Second X I . Mr. Mackie fostered the idea of a hockey team at the College, gave proficient coaching, and encouraged the teams throughout the season. T h e First XI had a successful opening season, winning three games and losing two. T h e defence was strong and conceded very few goals, thanks largely to good goalkeeping by N o r m a n Both. T h e forwards attacked continuously, though their shooting in front of goal was weak; Eric Soon, however, scored a number of valuable goals. T h e team was well captained by Houldsworth, and Ken MacLean gave willing support. T h e Second XI played two matches against E a s t e r n P a r k boys, winning one and losing the other. N e x t year it is hoped that there will be an increased n u m b e r of players, so that the school will become a force to be reckoned with in Public School hockey. Those w h o played in the First XI w e r e : Houldsworth, R. ( C a p t a i n ) ; MacLean, K. A. I. (Vice-Captain); Bade, G. P . ; Baker, D. J. H . ; Both, N. M.; Bowden, A. M.; Champ, J. H . ; Cronk, R. A.; Davey, R. B.; P a d m a n a t h a n , K.; Scott-Murphy, R. E.; Soon, E. E. L; W i g g s , W . T. First XI Results: defeated Eastern P a r k Boys, at Eastern P a r k : 6-0. defeated G.G.S., Highton, at h o m e : 6-1. defeated B.G.S., at h o m e : 2-1. lost to G.G.S. Corio 2nd X I , at h o m e : 2-1. lost to Ivanhoe G r a m m a r School, at Ivanhoe: 3-1.

GOLF As an experiment this year, golf was one of the alternatives for second term sport. T w e n t y boys were interested and with the co-operation of Mr. Davey and the N e w t o w n and Chilwell City Council, we were able to play at Queen's P a r k in the one and a half hours between the end of school and sunset, for two shillings. T h e keenness shown was remarkable as there were very few absentees and some of those who

1962.

played other sports often came down on one of their "off" nights. A match was arranged against Geelong G r a m m a r on Saturday, 18th, August, at Barwon H e a d s . Even though the results may prove to the contrary, we did not acquit ourselves too badly as it is only our first year and G r a m m a r have their own course. Results

were:

Cameron lost 5 and 4. Russell lost at the 19th. Blair won 5 and 4. K e r r lost 2 and 1. Kidd lost 3 and 2. Pigdon lost 6 and 5. Holland won 3 and 2. It is hoped that this m a t c h will become a permanent fixture and that those not so adept at football or cross-country running will have golt as a permanent alternative in the future.

ATHLETICS. Coach: E. B. Davies, Esq. Captain: W. L. Lehmann. Vice-Captain: S. T. Green. T h e early part of the 1962 athletics season was hampered by continuous bad weather. This meant that training on the ovals was impossible for a short time, and most boys were forced to train on the roads and in the gymnasium. A meeting with St. Bede's College was arranged but because of the bad weather all the jumping events had to be postponed, although the track events were still held. This year was a very good year for Geelong College at the Combined Sports. Although being placed sixth, College scored the most points for several years; this was because of the numerous places which were gained. Several College records were recorded: Open 880 y a r d s : W. L. Lehmann—1 min. 57.6 sees. Open L o n g J u m p : S. T. Green—22 ft. 82 ins. U n d e r 16 100 yards H u r d l e s : G. E. T.

CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING Master in Charge: M. G. Ham, Esq. This year was quite a satisfactory one for Cross Country Running as most of the boys on the lists trained quite hard and became reasonably fit. We had runners in the Geelong Schoolboy Championships on the exeat weekend and several boys w e n t to Melbourne to run in the Victorian Schoolboy Championships. On the day of the football match against Geelong G r a m m a r we had a run against the G r a m m a r team and in this we did quite well. A p a r t from the competitive events we had several timed runs which gave good indications that almost everyone had improved considerably. Once again Mr. H a m showed his interest by spending much time and effort. v. G.G.S. Open and U n d e r 16 (3 miles) 1. Stratton G.G.S. T i m e 17 min. 8 sec. 2. John, G. H. G.G. 3. W o o d , P. L.

THE WATER SKIER T h e motor, like a thing provoked, Purred, and perished with a choke. And I in the water the while Relaxed and felt the chill Of a mid-September stream. Again the m o n s t e r coughed And I tensed as the flimsy bond Between us sharpened with A silent crack. A n d I was convulsed To motion, the churning waters Around me swirling As if the very earth had split beneath. My wind-tossed locks about me F r a y e d ; a multitude of reptilious beings. But now, the ice-smooth water Sped beneath my borrowed feet. I relaxed and felt the cool, keen cries Of dampened draughts about my ears, And thoughts of the world were lost. P . Hosford I V

THE CHIMNEY Like a god in the mid-day sun He stands, sneering at the world about his feet. T o w e r i n g above the city, he belches forth His smoke-filled heat. He is the master, his word is law. And in contempt he spits W i t h clouds of dust, and soot and fumes Upon the "poor". In his mind he sees the envious stares Of other buildings, Straining their necks to see that noble sight Of power, strength and unsurpassed might. But for once he is wrong, For their t h o u g h t s are mean. His glory and vain pride Are not really seen. T h e "poor" are the everyday people in life, W h o cheerfully work on with hardly a care, T h e y have no respect for the snobs of this world For to them they're just chimneys, Full of hot air. Robert Peck IV.

PUZZLE THIS OUT In the Middle Ages, an unpopular m a n o r lord was found to be sole heir of a huge estate in England. T h e former owner had died unexpectedly and it was decided that the estate should be given to his nearest relative. This new baron discovered that his estate was practically covered with poachers and t r a m p s w h o had been allowed to stay on the land formerly by his dead relative. So, after sending out a warning the baron decided to enforce a new law. He told his executioner that anyone caught trespassing on his land would pay for it with his life. He also wanted to give each poacher a choice as to how he would die, so every person w a s allowed to make a statement prior to his death. If it was true, he would be decapitated, and if it was false, he would pay by being hanged. This m e t h o d worked well until the day that a bright young fellow was caught catching fish from one of the baron's creeks. H i s statement after his conviction was simply, "I am going to be hanged". R.B. III

THE BRICK Unobtrusive shapes of mottled earth. Like railway trains, they flow along the wall, Straight, true. On rails of white, sliding into darkness, Or side by side, at rest. We live our lives In a flurry, that such a shape Of mud is never noted; We rarely stop, think, Realize just what that flurry would be, If such a common lump as this Were to be banished from our lives. I.R.B. IV. Dear Sirs, T h e tiger is undoubtedly one of the noblest and most beautiful of animals. Over the years it has been in danger of extinction due to fading forests, deadshot Dukes, and marauding maharajahs. Now it faces new dangers. As an animal lover, I would like to heartily condemn a certain company's blatant and callous encouragement of the public to confine this noble beast in, of all places, a petrol tank, where no doubt, the poor animal, after undergoing extreme agonies, expires either from the continuous jolting or the suffocating fumes of the vehicle. Animal lovers of the world, let us unite and cry, ''Shame!" at this deplorable deed. Yours, etc. H. J. Higgins, Managing Director of Wallaby Petrol Co. Ltd.

CADET CAMP Half way through second term, those words began to loom ominously on the horizon. Although this is my first year in Cadets, I have heard terrible tales of this " H o r r o r ! " from classmates who had attended last year's camp. As the end of term approached the very imention of the word " c a m p " gave me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. However, when the morning of 31st August arrived I was mounting the bus which w a s to take me and my companions to our fate. W h e n the bus arrived the first thing done was to have lunch. H e r e I received my first surprise. T h e food was edible, not the unrecognizable plate of slop which makes one's stomach turn over, as I had been led to be-

lieve. More surprises were to come. That first night, on a palliasse full of hay, I had a good night's sleep, without waking or being cold once. Next morning I got the first indication that life w a s not to be all "peaches and cream". Being aroused at six-thirty and m a d e to stand in the freezing cold is no joke. Breakfast was another good meal, and gave the day a good start. T h a t morning we saw a firepower demonstration. It was most interesting. T h u s the general p a t t e r n of the camp began to fall into place. As the days passed I realized that I had been under a highly false impression as to the conditions in camp. Although the food was not always pleasant and plentiful, I did not starve and I found no need to supplement my food supply in any way. W i t h films every night but two, and various demonstrations and exhibitions arranged, we did not fall short of entertainment. T h e n came the day of the supposed "horror of horrors", the bivouac. This was reputed to be the most terrible, tiring and wasteful part of the camp. However, here again I was in for a surprise, a pleasant one. After a short " m a r c h " up into the hills, we dug ourselves in, had a filling lunch from our ration packs, and then waited for the enemy's attack. As each boy was armed w i t h several blanks, this battle was quite good fun. /Of course, as the battle progressed, one could hear cries of " H o w in the hell can you shoot me if I shoot you first?" and, "You're not fair, you don't d r o p " and so on. T h a t night I slept until we were awakened (at five-thirty). On that morning, Thursday, came what was probably the w o r s t part of the camp's programme. We marched the m a n y weary miles in to the town of Puckapunyal and on arriving, we were shown a rather weak display of army bits and pieces. T h e n we marched all the way back to the camp. However, things were more than m a d e up that afternoon when we were shown a tank display. This display was a real eye-opener for all. So, as far as I can see, between this year's camp and last year's, the A r m y has greatly improved the lot of the cadet, and made the camp well worth attending. To those who will enter camp next year for the first time, I say this: there is nothing to be afraid of. I myself have proved that life is possible to live in camp, and if you are willing to give it a chance to prove itself, you, too, will enjoy this valuable experience. First Year, 9 Platoon.

THE MASTER ( W i t h apologies to T e n n y s o n ) He clasps the cane with crooked hands, To strike the boy that he commands, Whirling it round him, firm he stands. T h e broken boy beneath him crawls, Never again to ink the walls; And like a thunderclap he bawls.

PREPARATORY SCHOOL Nineteen-sixty-two goes down to history as a very special year in the life of the P r e p a r a t o r y School. Firstly, it m a r k s the close of the long, distinguished record of service given by our Headmaster, Mr. L. J. Campbell, w h o came to the College staff forty-one years ago. In his thirty-two years as H e a d m a s t e r of the Preparatory School he has seen it develop into one of the finest Junior Schools in Australia. We honour him for what he has been and for all he has accomplished through the years and we wish him great happiness in his years of retirement. This year has seen remarkable building changes affecting our school. T h e new Assembly Hall and Art and Science W i n g have added wonderful value to our worship, work and corporate school life. During the second half of the year the two-storey boarding school section has considerably changed the face of the new school. A large team of workers has been proceeding quite rapidly with the dining hall, kitchen, changing rooms, dormitories and bathrooms. This section will be completed before Christmas. T h e transfer of the forty-six boarders of Rolland H o u s e from their original boarding section of senior school into the attractive new setting of Mossgiel in Noble Street was accomplished with ease, due in no small way to the detailed planning and supervision of Mr. D. G. M c l n t y r e , H o u s e Master o f Rolland House. T h e beautiful grounds add much to this lovely old home and it is little wonder that the boys are very proud of their new Rolland H o u s e It is a real home away from home. School work has gone along quite effectively in the classrooms and football, baseball, hockey, archery and athletics have been enjoyed in the spacious grounds. T h e cyclone fencing of the tennis court and turf wicket area has begun and another active tree planting season successfully concluded. One of the highlights of this year was the very enjoyable P a g e a n t staged in second term. T h e Medieval P a g e a n t — " I n days of Olde when K n i g h t were Bolde." E a r l y Saturday afternoon of the 11th of August saw a remarkable change in and about our Twentieth Century P r e p a r a t o r y School buildings! A large percentage of the inhabitants

was dressed in a wide variety of colourful costumes—that lent much to the setting for this pageant. T h e school Chaplain the Rev. E. C. McLean opened proceedings with a prayer and spoke on behalf of himself and Mr. L. J. Campbell w h o sent his best wishes for success. N u m e r o u s knights, archers, lords a n d ladies and their jesters, Robin H o o d and his merry men, townsfolk, beggars and even lepers mingled with large numbers of parents and friends of the school. It was indeed a happy, noisy crowd that came to be seen or heard, or just to enjoy themselves. Brisk business w a s carried on amongst the stalls and entertainments of all kinds. Apparently cakes, flowers, clothing, novelties and coconut shies, even trains and films, w e r e just as popular in the Middle Ages as they are today. Panaceas and elixers were just as much in demand as ever. At any rate the large numbers of boys and staff w h o worked so well for the occasion were doubly rewarded by the success of the P a g e a n t as a worthwhile Social Studies project, as well as an enjoyable means of raising £200 for the ground improvements of our new school. A m o n g s t other highlights of the afternoon were football kicking, and the archery competitions. T h e t h r o n g applauded performances given on the wagon stage in the village square. T h e Chester m y s t e r y entitled " T h e D e l u g e " and Geoffrey Chaucer's "Cock and F o x " were well received. 'Bad' King J o h n signed the Magna Carta and the ' D u m b Wife' was cured. vOther frolics included a Crusade and a 'Grand P a r a d e ' which entertained those at afternoon tea as the procession snaked around and about the stalls and tea-takers. Excursions through the school grounds on Snow H o b b s ' Spirit of Pegasus proved popular with the children and adults alike. Fortunately no-one qualified for a period to be spent in the pillory. Indeed this Medieval parade 'In the D a y s of Olde when Knights were Bolde' remains an unforgettable memory. Much credit goes to Mr. D. H. Mainwood the chief organiser and his band of workers.

Library

Notes.

T h e " H e l e n Mackie" Library has shown a healthy development throughout the year and, with the increasing number of books, is able to supply a more extensive service to the school both as an adjunct to formal class work and as a readily available source of recreational reading. T h e boys have been given every opportunity to enlarge their knowledge on a subject for themselves through the use of the Library. T h e y have begun to learn to use books for research on set subjects and so started something which is hoped, will become a habit. This habit of seeking, shifting and writing down information for themselves can be of the utmost value if continually developed throughout their school career. Every boy is encouraged to read as much and as widely as possible and most boys respond enthusiastically. Books are provided to stimulate imagination, to help boys to use their leisure constructively, broaden interests and through reading, it is hoped, they will learn to be tolerant and be helped to keep an active and open mind. T h e Senior and Junior Library committees have given much of their time helping to keep the L i b r a r y functioning as smoothly as possible. T h e y have arranged displays, covered new books, catalogued magazine articles, filed catalogue cards, coped with overdue books, as well as helped to keep the shelves in order and the library tidy. M e m b e r s of the Committee are as follows: Senior Committee—R. Spokes (Chief Librarian), H. Cook, G. Craig, A. Davey, R. H e a d , R. H e p b u r n , K. Hirst, A. Knight, R. Morris, R. Orchard, I. Penrose, P. Piddington, D. W a r d l e , B. Barber, A. Jenkins, D. Laidlaw, C. Beel, H. Rule. Junior Committee—R. Anderson, J. Nail, T. Thwaites, B. W a t s o n . United

Nations'

Day.

On 24th October we celebrated the anniversary of that day seventeen years ago w h e n countries of the world joined together to w o r k for peace as the United Nations. During the m o r n i n g the school inspected the display of photographic U . N . E . S . C . O . material in the A r t Room, the display of charts in the

P E G A S U S form rooms and a special exhibition of items and products of m a n y countries of the U.N., arranged very artistically by A. Davey, in the library. Once again our annual observance w a s held in Morrison Hall which prominently displayed the United Nations' Flag. T h e afternoon prog r a m m e commenced with a play presented by the D r a m a Club and produced by Airs. W a r d . This told about other children in the world and the w o r k of the United Nations. A n o t h e r way to learn about other countries is t h r o u g h listening to their music and so the boys of 6J presented songs of Russia and N o r w a y . T h o u g h t s on the United Nations were expressed by Mrs. Noel Heath, our guest speaker, w h o was introduced by Mr. Mainwood and thanked by Ian Miller who led the school in the reading of the I n t r o duction to the Charter of the United Nations. T h e p r o g r a m m e concluded with the screening of the film " T h e F a r Cry*' which described the work of Save the Children F u n d . Prior to United Nations' D a y the boys of the primary forms prepared charts about " T h e w o r k of the United N a t i o n s " and "Children" and " H o m e s " around the world. T h e s e w e r e latei judged by Mr. R. Quick, M a s t e r in Charge of the Senior School U . N . group. He awarded first place in the 3rd Grade to D. Collins for his chart on "Children of the United N a t i o n s " ; the fourth Grade first place was awraded to A. H o d g e s for his entry showing " O t h e r Peoples' H o m e s " and J. Collins and J. Keddie w o n first places in 5th and 6th F o r m s respectively for their project on " T h e W o r k of the United Nations". F o r the first time an essay competition was conducted in the senior form of the P r e p aratory School, the topic being an account of the valuable w o r k done in recent years of any one agency of the United Nations. H. Seller's essay on " U . N . E . S . C . O . " and R. Spokes' account of the w o r k for Refugees were chosen as the best essays in first and second forms. A very suitable brochure depicting the activities of the United N a t i o n s ' Organization was produced by Mrs. J a m e s and Miss Stokes for class room use.

Social

Service.

D u r i n g the latter part of the year a very active Social Service Committee, headed by I. Penrose, J. Crellin and D. W a r d l e , has kept up its record of fund raising activities. As well

D E C E M B E R , as the usual Friday form donations and the sale of collected milk bottle tops, our funds have been further supplemented by a " H o t D o g " Stall, a " T r e a s u r e H u n t " , a "Slow" Bicycle Race and a " W h i t e E l e p h a n t " Stall. We would like to thank all those who donated cordial and goods for the W h i t e Elephant Stall. Out special thanks go to Mr. W. S. Knight w h o donated all the saveloys for the very successful " H o t D o g " Stall. We would also like to thank Mr. David Scott, of Community Aid A b r o a d and Mr. Gordon M u r r a y who once again spoke to the school about the Geelong Community Chest and Miss Sweetland, the Secretary of the "Save the Children F u n d " w h o addressed the boys a n d lent us a film depicting the work of the Fund. Another guest speaker was Mr. Brewer of the British and Foreign Bible Society w h o presented a pennant to the school for the work it had done for his Society. O u r only excursion during the second half of the year w a s to the Geelong Legacy Club Rooms where we saw Legacy Children enjoying games arranged for them and joined in the fun on the trampoline.

We could not let this opportunity pass without saying how sorry we are that the time has come for Mr. Campbell to retire from active school life. We would like to thank him for his sincere interest and understanding during our association at the College and wish him a long, happy retirement. T h e P a r e n t s ' Association under t'le able guidance of Mrs. T.

COLLEGE SONGS Following a suggestion made at the Annual Reunion of the N e w South W a l e s Branch of the O.G.C.A., two "College" songs were sung at the Annual Reunion Dinner in July, led b y B E R T . K E I T H , J . H . C A M P B E L L and others, with " T A M . " H E N D E R S O N a t the piano. T h e innovation was well received. T h e Sydneysiders have produced a new College song, and there is strong feeling amongst a n u m b e r of Old Boys in favour of the reintroduction of the custom of singing special songs on outstanding occasions at the school and at Old Collegians' functions. T h e Committee would welcome expressions of m e m b e r s ' opinions on the subject.

CORRECTION T h e Editor has been advised that the last issue incorrectly advised that a plaque had been placed in the Beeac Presbyterian Church in m e m o r y of its first elder, J. C. Kininmonth ('10). T h e plaque was in m e m o r y of Mr. Kininmonth's father, Mr. J. D. Kininmonth. We regret the error.

GOLF For many years the College has been well represented at the Public Schools' Old Boys Day in Melbourne which is held on the T u e s day before Melbourne Cup D a y in each year. O u r representatives have found it difficult to ascertain those Old Collegians w h o are golfers, and are anxious to make this a day for all those interested to join in the golfing activities and possibly afterwards at a dinner for Old Collegians. A separate tournament was held at the Gee-

long Golf Club early this year for Public School Old Boys in Geelong and surrounding districts and it is intended to repeat this day in Geelong on W e d n e s d a y , 24th April next year, after which it is also hoped to arrange a dinner. W o u l d all Old Collegians interested in golf a n d / o r any get together that might be arranged afterwards, please advise their names and addresses to either of our two representatives on the Public Schools' Golf Committee so that further information might be sent from time to time—a most enjoyable day is assured.
