journal of the geelong college geelong australia volume LXVI 1973 1-73

Recent editors of this magazine have commented on significant changes which have taken place in their particui aryear.This year can be no exception : apart from the opening of a new library, details of which are recorded elsewhere in this edition, the report of the Karmel Committee and the decision by Council to admit girls to the College as from the beginning of next year are sure to have significant effects upon the life of the College in the near future. The concern shown for education by the present Australian Government and by the Karmel Committee must be commended. Many of the recommendations of the Committee will do much to improve the quality and the quantity of education in Australia, as well as to encourage variety and reduce inequality of opportunity. At the same time, the comparative indifference to the plight of schools such as the College should be deplored. It would be sad if the consequences were to be a reduction of the quality and diversity of education within some independant schools and at the same time an increasing tendency for these schools to become a preserve of the very wealthy. Undoubtedly, after one hundred and thirteen years the decision to enrol girls is partly related to financial considerations. Primarily, though, the move to co-education should be seen as a positive contribution to the growth of the College. While the College has, in the past, boasted a range of interests and activities, the introduction of the fairer sex should see even more diversity. What is apparent is that much of the change taking place is positive and good. At the same time it should be realised much of what has become tradition should be retained. The difficult task is to achieve a fair balance. In the past many schools have erred on the side of conservatism. The events of this year offer considerable opportunities which must be grasped. An improved standard amongst Government schools suggests that many of the platitudes of the past must give way to the innovations of the future. The editors have been conscious of the need for change in the magazine; consequently there is considerable alteration, and we hope improvement, in format. Content, which is dictated largely by the abundance of academic and sporting records, is similar to that of previous years. Suffice it to say that the editors' historical perspectives are such that they believe that the boy whose picture prefaces the article on the House of Guilds has as much right to have his achievement noted as the boy who scores a century in cricket. It should not be forgotten that the school exists for the individual, and that it is our duty to help the student realise both his individuality and his social responsibility.

Staff

The Chairman of Council, Dr. H. N. B. Wettenhall, returned early in the year from his six months' appointment at the Johns Hopkins Medical Centre, in Baltimore, U.S.A. The College Architect, Mr. P. N. Everist, who is also a member of Council, paid a short visit to Europe and U.S.A. during first term, and was able to examine a number of interesting school building projects. The Presbyterian Assembly in October confirmed the replacement of the Rev. W. H. Littler as a Presbytery representative on Council by the Rev. R. Corr, the Minister of St. David's. Mr. Littler's service to the College as Vice-Chairman of the Council is greatly appreciated. There have been no other changes in membership, and all members have continued to contribute through their work on various Council committees, as well as by remarkably regular attendance at full Council meetings. The Council has appreciated the recent opportunity to have afternoon tea with the staff on meeting days, and once again the Council/Staff dinner was a great success.

During the year Mr. M. B. Keary has been on study leave in Europe. Mr. Ian Watson was absent from mid-April to mid-October on long service leave; Mr. Don Webb has been acting-Headmaster of the Preparatory School. In February, the Council welcomed Mr. D. W. Stott as the new Vice-Principal, with particular responsibility for the community life of the College. His arrival greatly assisted in the rearrangement of responsibilities necessary as a consequence of the acceptance by Mr. A. D. Mahar, former Housemaster of Mackie House and Senior English Master, of an appointment to a Melbourne school. The Council has noted with interest the work now being undertaken at the College by Professor John Watson, as co-ordinator of religious education. It is with a profound sense of loss, and of gratitude for work well done, that the Council offers its congratulations to Mr. D. D. Davey, who will take up his work as the foundation Headmaster of Eltham College in the new year. 9-73

Building Programme

Finance and Government Policy

The new Morrison Library was ready for occupation at the beginning of the year, and was formally opened by Sir Thomas Ramsay on Anzac Day. A tender has now been let for the building of a new Warrinn House, south of Noble Street (behind Mossgiel), and work has already commenced, the completion date being mid-1974. Arrangements have been completed for the compulsory sale of 13 acres of riverside land below the Preparatory School to the Newtown Council. In the meantime the Council has continued its search for other land near Geelong for possible long-range developments. Minor building improvements have included the completion of some new Common Room facilities, and the establishment of new matron's quarters for the matron of Warrinn in Mossgiel, thus finally completing the purpose of the "Maggie Memorial Fund." Work is to commence shortly on an additional classroom at Campbell House to allow for increased enrolments.

The Council recognises that the College is facing a period of acute economic difficulty due to an Australia-wide reduction in boarding enrolments, the effects of inflation on all costs and particularly on staff salaries, and the recent decision of the Australian Government to reduce recurrent grants to the schools of the highest standard, a policy in marked contrast to the generous treatment offered by the Victorian Government. A careful examination is being made of the internal economic and administrative structure of the College, and at the same time the Council is giving its full support to the efforts being made to alter Government policy by the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria, and the National Council of Independent Schools. For this reason, the Council approved of the Principal accepting the position of Chairman of the National Council of Independent Schools for the year 1973/74.

Co-education As discussions with the Morongo Council have indicated that any closer integration of the two schools in the near future seems unlikely, the Council has now resolved that it believes that the future of the College should be co-educational, that girls will be accepted at Campbell House (that is up to grade 3 primary) next year, and that further planning should now be undertaken to determine the next step in the process. General The Council has encouraged Mr. B. R. Keith to pursue his research into the life and work of Sir Francis Rolland, and, if possible, to write and have printed his biography, before it is too late to collect relevant material. The Council has noted with approval the use of College facilities during the summer vacation for such purposes as a diabetics' camp for Children's Hospital patients, and the National Music Camp, both to be held in January. 10-73

The increasing economic pressure makes the Council even more appreciative of the various generous gifts, and benefactions, which are received from time to time. In addition to money received through Project Pegasus and the Old Geelong Collegians' Association Annual Giving Programme, there has this year been a substantial bequest from the late Mr. Tom D. Freeman, several gifts for memorials, the presentation of a Four to the Rowing Club by Mr. A. Austin Gray, and a further gift toward the construction of a boat trailer from Mr. Max Gillett.

Since the last edition of this magazine the changes in the teaching staff have been few but significant. We were glad to welcome Miss Jane Honman back from overseas and, although a more reticent raconteur of traveller's tales one would be unlikely to meet, we assume that she had an enjoyable tour. The other addition to the burgeoning ranks of the female staff was Miss Elizabeth McLeod from Sydney. She took over the teaching of Indonesian and, during the second term vacation, the name of Mrs. David Wettenhall, thereby assuring herself a place in the College history as being party to the first marriage of two teaching staff members at the school. The language staff was further strengthened by the appointment of Mr. John Murphy from the United Kingdom and M. Henri Jeanjean from France. Mr. Murphy has taken the classes of Mr. Keary, who is overseas, and M. Jeanjean has, as might be expected, taught French. Mr. David Roffey came to the College from the Education Department at the beginning of the year. In addition to teaching General Business Education and Social Science, he is Housemaster of Calvert. Some of the older readers would be interested to know that he is the son of A. J. Roffey who was dux of the College in 1921. During the second term, Professor John Watson joined the staff. A Scot with wide experience in many parts of the world, he came to the College by way of Hong Kong university after retiring from Whitley College, Melbourne. Mr. Doug Stott is the new Vice-Principal with particular oversight of all non academic matters affecting the College. In addition, he teaches in the Science faculty. Prior to his appointment he taught at St. Peter's College, Adelaide, but spent some time overseas before coming to the College. There were two new appointments at the Preparatory School this year, Mrs. Pat Beggs and Mr. Max Brand. Mrs. Beggs returned to teaching in the remedial field and Mr. Brand is in charge of Grades four and five. He is from Queensland, but taught at Trinity Grammar, Sydney, before coming to Geelong.

The end of 1972 saw the departure of Mr. K. Diradji, Mr. Brian Kemp, and Mr. Alan Mahar. Mr. Diradji taught Indonesian, but will be best remembered by the Common Room for his quiet and gentlemanly manner. Mr. Kemp has returned again to Japan to further his considerable knowledge of ceramics and we wish him and his family every success. The departure of Mr. Mahar to Preshill closed an association which, over a period of thirteen years engendered many changes. There was scarcely a facet of College life untouched by Alan's vitality and concern. To attempt to give an account of his work here would be not only long, but also incomplete, because so much of his work is known only to himself and the many boys he helped. Mr. R. S. Hunt leaves the Mathematics staff of the College this year to teach in the warmer climate at Brisbane Boys' College. His work in the boarding house, Cadets and particularly hockey, are well remembered. Over a period of eight years he guided hockey at the College to its present position as a major and highly successful winter sport. Mr. Max Norman also leaves the Mathematics staff this year to pursue his chosen subject in other areas. Max's scholarly demeanour and penetrating comment will be missed in the Common Room. M. Henri Jeanjean was appointed for the year only to tide over the absence of Mr. Keary from the language staff. Henri's Gallic wit and ways will be remembered in the Common Room long after the odour of his Gauloise has faded. Miss Ruth Wilkinson has been Director of Music at the Preparatory School for two years. She leaves at the end of the year for Europe. Ruth has been awarded a study grant and proposes to work in Switzerland. The good wishes of the staff go with her. From his first brush with the College during a teaching round in the early forties to his appointment as Vice-Principal and then Deputy Principal, Mr. D. D. Davey has been an outstanding figure at the College. His life here is dealt with in a separate article. 11-73

Housemaster: D. J. C. Roffey, Esq. House Tutors : W. Armstrong, Esq. C. G. Ingham, Esq. Miss M. R. Neal House Captain : R. Wade School Prefect : J. R. L. McDonald House Prefects : C. B. Bryant, P. W. E. Gallagher, D. J. Lawrence, J. R. L. McDonald This year Calvert experienced a new house master in Mr. D. Roffey. Mr. Roffey proved himself to be a worthy and able leader who promoted great enthusiasm throughout. In fact, Mr. Roffey settled into the atmosphere of Calvert so well that by the end of third term he had located his office in the Calvert house room hoping to share a much closer relationship with the students. Although Calvert's successes were few and far between, again, many boys showed great courage and determination, particularly in individual performances and the general house activities—this was high-lighted by the combined effort of members of the house in the Calvert choir under the able leadership of C. Bryant. The Calvert Social Service activity took a different form this year, avoiding the type of concert put on last year. This year we introduced a "Mr. Geelong College" tea drinking and endurance quest. This provided great entertainment for the more sadistic members of the College Community, as well as raising around $100. The house has performed admirably under the leadership of many of the sixth form boys. This year each different sporting activity has provided a different boy with the added responsibility of supervising a sport. This operation has been performed commendably and special thanks must go to P. Gallagher, J. Lucas, J. Herd, J. Head, J. Tantau and M. Williams.

12-73

Surprisingly enough, this year has also shown a change of mind for many of the students. The apathy which was so apparent last year has just about completely resolved itself. Although we have lacked all-round talent again this year, Calvert has proved itself to be a worthy opponent to other houses. SPORT: To open the sporting season this year, Calvert attacked the swimming sports with much enthusiasm. The better known swimmers of the house performed admirably and gave great encouragement to the bulk of the House who paddled up their rear. Special mention must go to J. Head, Steve Jones and the Gubbins brothers. The cricket side this year was led in battle by John Lucas, who was virtually a one man team, although we must not take any credit away from D. Mallett, J. Davidson and D. Holt who played with much vigor. The Under 15 side, ably led by Bill Williams, played great cricket, won the competition, and led the house to fourth place overall. The strength of Calvert certainly didn't lie with its rowers. Although they tried very hard, lack of practice finally led them into sixth position. L. Bartlett, one of the few rowers in the house, organised the team well and even if they didn't win I'm sure they had great fun. A good, strong and enthusiastic football side again was led onto the ground by Peter Gallagher. The matches were hard fought but lack of fitness of many of the players resulted in some unfortunate finishes. The better players included, P. Gallagher, D. Gubbins, D. Holt and R. Wade, However, the much fitter under 15 team played extremely tough football which resulted in many good victories. Best players included Bill Williams, J. MacKenzie and "Little Harbo."

Hockey however, was a different story. Here was our strength . . . our chance for a victory . . our chance to show those others . . . With commendable efforts from the whole side and including the best coach in Geelong, we finished second, much to the team's disappointment. Best players included, "The Ape" (A. Keen), "Lippy" Lyons and Mai Gray-Thompson. This year, the best effort put up by the house must be the Cross Country run. Although as a house we had very few good runners the effort put in by every boy was commendable. But we did have two outstanding runners in the house, H. Kelso (Under 17 champ.) and J. Harbison (Under 15 champ.). The Athletics season also went off well for Calvert. Although we only had a few outstanding athletes, athletics this year was not looked upon with the usual glum faces. Those athletes who proved themselves included J. Tantau, H. Kelso and J. Harbison. Valiant efforts were put in by many other people.

Thanks are due to House Captain, Rod Wade, who led the house with keenness and enthusiasm throughout the year. Thus Calvert has come to the end of another year, a year to be looked upon with happiness. Although our achievements may have been limited, our efforts and personal achievements have been in excess.

Pyle Mackie 73, can be regarded as a year of equilibrium, with continuing esprit de corps, in the sporting and cultural fields, combined with significant personal growth and development. With the departure of Mr. Mahar from the House, the development of individual and social responsibility that had evolved under his leadership was continued with the judicious leadership of Mr. Davies. He, in co-operation with the Mackie Masters, namely Messrs. Denman, McCallum, Morris, Tate and Wettenhall, contributed no end to the undoubted success achieved by Mackie. Messrs. Denman, Morris and Wettenhall were all survivors from the previous regime and their influence in the House had not and could not be underestimated. Christmas arrived early however, with the inclusion of "Mr. Mac," who had replaced Mr. Tate. He immediately fitted into the smooth running of the house and joined the other four in a formidable bureaucracy. Mrs. Oswald, our new matron, came with a background in the Y.M.C.A. and this fitted her very well for her job as matron. Her friendly and understanding attitude was much appreciated, along with her "homely" touches of coffee after study, pictures on the walls and curtains in the Rec. room. She in co-operation with Mrs. Lester, Phyllis, Jean and Barney made life for the community a lot easier. 14-73

Winner of the extra curricular activities award this year, goes to Mr. Wettenhall, who has finally found residence in a new house. Much as we regret the departure of his lively personality from the Mackie compounds, we offer both him and his wife the very best. Definite improvements in living and studying conditions have been made this year. The "re-desking" of both junior and senior studies with larger and more functional desks, was gained through no small effort on Mr. Davies' part. Another innovation was the shifting of the remaining fifth formers into more private quarters. The most "common" study again, it seems, was the prefects' room. For a number of years, Mackie has had an obvious bias for leadership in the sporting fields, but this year we spread our talents into cultural fields as well. Our triumph in the house music was undoubtedly well deserved, thanks to the untiring efforts of Scott Chirnside as conductor . . . and a small miracle from God. However, the culmination and obvious high point of our cultural activities arose at the Mackie Church Service where, thanks to the efforts of Batman and Robin, who successfully thwarted the fiendish Penguin, the Church was saved from moral decay. All credit must be given to Andrew James who did a mammoth task in the writing of most of the script and the supervision of the production and direction of the service. Other cultural activities included a highly successful dance held in co-operation with Warrinn House, in the Mackie Rec. Room. The distraction from the toil at the studydesk, proved most worthwhile in some circumstances. The visit of Miss Honnie Van den Bosch, T.V. personality, beauty consultant, model and fitness expert really made the boys sit up and take an interest in proceedings. Honnie gave a most interesting and informative talk on personal hygience, hair care, skin care, how to wear clothes, personal appearance and many other facets of good health. We hope that these interludes can be continued.

For the fourth year in succession, Mackie succeeded in winning the House cricket. The ease with which the open side won all their matches, was no doubt due to the abundance of 1st XI players in Mackie, comprising over half the side. However, "non-first" members also contributed more than adequately and credit must be given to them. The U15 team also performed well, with Mark Komp, "Squid" Scott and Noel Graham outstanding. The Mackie rowers, despite the presence of four members of the 1st VIM, could not quite match McArthur, losing the final by a foot in a tremendous battle. Both the firsts and seconds however acquited themselves most creditably. Our swimmers could not match the effort of the rowers and cricketers with the House finishing well down the list in the swimming competition. Valiant efforts however came from Graeme Pyle and Ian Carmichael. Mackie's dominance in the House football in recent years, was again continued with the open side being undefeated for the fourth year in succession and the U15 team playing well. The presence of half of the 1st XVIII in the Open team undoubtedly had an unnerving effect on the opposition. The House Hockey competition was held for the first time this year. Despite having only two hockey players in the Open division and three in the U16, both teams battled ferociously and at times skillfully. Success daunted the brave however, and we failed to win a match. For the second year in a row, Mackie finished runner-up in the cross-country. Again the numbers competing were low, as were those of all Houses and a feeling of pointlessness could be detected. The effort of Cam Nelson in the U15 age group should not be neglected however, nor the effort of many other members of the House who tried their hardest. Our achievement in finishing a close second to Warrinn in the Athletics competition was satisfying, yet many of the more senior members of the House were put

to shame by the youngest members of Mackie. Even if not possessing the greatest amount of natural talent, the endeavours of the U15's were full of credit. Others who performed well were M. Hooke and A. Johnstone in sharing the open championship, and R. Richardson and J. Eastoe in the U17. Mackie's absolute dominance of sport has waned a little in 73, but still many individuals had successful years. An air of complacency has perhaps crept in, but the attitude of the younger boys is set to counter this. In future years perhaps, more enjoyment, if less success, may be gained from the sporting fields. Andrew Johnstone and the other House Prefects deserve commendation for their assistance and understanding given throughout the year. HOUSE COLOURS Athletics : Cameron, A. McL. *Hooke, M. H.

Wood School Prefects : A. R. Wood, G. D. Amezdroz House Prefects : G. D. Amezdroz, W. S. Crosby, C. D. Fenner After being defeated for Cock House position by only one point last year McArthur House realized that in order to do well on the sporting field, an entire House effort was required. Enthusiasm and the desire to do well has been evident in the majority of House members; athough, as always, there are some who have done little in the way of supporting the House. Thanks to the leadership of Mr. Bruce McLeod and Mr. Terry Egan, both in the House and on the sidelines, we have maintained a high standard in every branch of sport. The swimming season again saw McArthur House performing exceedingly well, although the final point score was very close, owing to strong determined swimming by Phillip Morton, Andrew Wood, Russell Ford, Simon Barley, Nigel Wood and John Lees, McArthur managed to come out on top. The success in swimming was followed up by an overall win in House Rowing. Although we had three boys in the 1st VIM and Mackie had four boys, we managed to hold them off in the final. The second crew won their heat and came a close second in the final. 1st Crew : W. S. Crosby, D. J. Cooper, G. D. Amezdroz, C. D. Fenner, Cox : M. Carr. 2nd Crew : R. P. Evans, B. T. Fenner, S. J. Duff, J. D. McKenzie, Cox : R. Carr. McArthur faced the House Cricket Competition, with a team that lacked depth, but with the efforts of Warwick Oman, Andrew Wood and Peter Brunswick, the open team performed well above expectations. 16-73

The U15 team, under the leadership of David Donald and Greg Smith put a great deal of effort into the season with only moderate success. Most noticeable was the consistent batting of John McLeod. This year, for the first time, the House was asked to field two teams, each consisting of seven boys, to play in the inter-house hockey competition. Of the two teams, one was to be Under 16, the other Open. McArthur was fortunate in having sufficient players to comply with the regulations, with the exception of two non-hockey players in the Open division. The teams played extremely well. The Under 16's won all their matches, the Open team won four out of the five matches, and had one drawn game against Morrison. The game against Calvert House turned out to be the final. McArthur won, thus gaining the championship. The teams were as follows : Under 16 : R. Barley (Captain), M. Williams (Vice-Captain), G. Richardson, D. Swanson, R. Carr, D. Plueckhahn and R. Hawthorne. Reserves : D. Henshaw. Open : S. Duff (Captain), P. Timmins (Vice-Captain), B. Collins, M. Barley, S. Barley, W. Oman, M. Carr. Reserve : A. Wood. House football this year was more successful than in previous years with both the Under 15 and Open teams performing well. Notable performances in the Open side were given by the Wood brothers, Trevor McMurrich, Tim Bartlett, Robert Jolly, Ian Cole and "Rags" Fenner, at full back. The Under 15 team showing remarkable team spirit and enthusiasm played some excellent football, which could have resulted in top position except for a few unfortunate injuries. Every member played extremely well; however, very good performances were given by John MacLeod, "Ossy" Osborne, "Toss" Pearce, Rod Rau and Greg Smith. McArthur was well represented in the cross-country this year and finished an overall third. Best effort was in the Under 17 in which we came first, only having to go to 33rd place out of 54 for the eight qualifiers. A total of 45 boys ran the course, and of these most made an effort.

Best individual runs were, in the Under 15 Richard Barley 6th, John MacLeod 10th, Rod Rau 17th and G. Witcombe and Richard Carr 22nd and 23rd. In the Under 16 our first runners to complete the course were K. Henshaw finishing 11th and A. Brown 20th. Stephen Duff ran 2nd in the Under 17, with Murray Witcombe coming 5th, Colin Brown 7th and Don Cooper 18th. The Open results were Andrew Wood finishing 4th, "Butch" Oman 6th, Trevor McMurrich 10th, John Lees 20th and Glen Amezdroz 23rd. Overall it was a very successful year in cross-country and McArthur can look forward to good results in future years. A remarkable feature of House Music was that once the usual token protest was overcome, practically the whole House co-operated with the entirely student-run committee to produce a reasonable presentation of by far the most difficult pieces sung. Stuart Crosby, with a difficult song, organized the whole House into a good presentation which unfortunately came to a sudden halt on the evening, due to a rather unorthodox conducting movement. The vocal ensemble was excellent, the instrumental ensemble of high quality and Stephen Jewell, playing a clarinet solo, showed some promising professional technique. Another notable feature this year was the fact that 7/9 of the school baseball team came from McArthur House. This includes Warwick Oman who won the "Fairest and Best" in the " C " grade of the Open Geelong Baseball Association. Notable individual efforts were recorded by Russell Ford, who came 4th in the Australian 100 yard breaststroke Under Age Championships and Craig McKenzie who won first place in the learner section of the Victorian Highland Pipe Band Association's piping competition. In all, McArthur had another successful year under the very able leadership of Andrew Wood and Chris Fenner, aided by Glen Amezdroz and Stuart Crosby.

1973 was a year in which great enthusiasm was shown by all members of Morrison House. Under the guidance of Mr. Roland, responsibilities were given to, and accepted by, a large number of boys. Mr. Slingo, also has worked very hard for the House in many ways, giving special help to the Third Formers in their first year in the Senior School—and in the success of the House Music and House Football this year.

MUSIC : In the House Music, Morrison maintained a very high standard in each of the different sections. The choir conducted by Robert Anderson, sang particularly well. There were some fine performances by several members of the House, particularly David Sutherland who played the piano for our solo performance as well as accompanying the choir and vocal ensemble. David Steel and Andrew Bullen provided a feature of the evening with their interpretation of "Mr. Bojangles.'1 FOOTBALL :

ROWING :

After a relatively successful first term the House Football became the main interest of second term. Our team was full of potential and played a very good style of football to win the early matches. After a draw with Warrinn, Mackie proved too powerful in the final round. It was surprising to see many so called "average" players in the team who rose to the occasion and held the team together. There were a number of very effective players including Tony Ware, Peter Rooney, Drew Deppeler and Peter Richardson and particular support was given by some of the "junior" members of the team—which promises well for the future.

This year was the most successful Morrison has had for quite some time. Our 1st IV, stroked and captained by Tony Ware, gained third placing and the 2nd IV came fourth. The overall position of the House was third.

Although the U15 team was outclassed on the whole it still managed to fight on and give their best. Generally the House Football spirit was tremendous to see and for those who played, the games were very satisfying.

SWIMMING :

CROSS COUNTRY:

Morrison wasn't a great success in the House Swimming competition, although there was a flash of brilliance, or luck ! where we managed a first in the Open Medley relay. The team consisted of Lionel Fritz, Phu Thi Chung, Neil Harrop and Gordon MacFarlane. The open section was our strongest with a few good individual performances and were ably backed up with notable performances from under age members, Andrew Holt and Michael Kelly.

Most of the House participated in the cross-country but generally Morrison names were missing from the front-runners— disappointing in that the expected hopes of the successful U16 team of last year failed to materialize. Best performances were Rod MacGugan and Tony Ware from the open age group while John Wardle and Andrew McGuire ran particularly well for the U17's.

The house was disappointed to lose Mr. McCallum at the end of first term. However, we were able to welcome Mr. Tate, and then Mr. Salen, who joined us at the beginning of the third term.

18-73

CRICKET : The Open Cricket team was just another example of how well the Morrison "system" worked. Every player gave his utmost at all times, although they finished fifth in the final placings. The team was ably led by Jon Anderson who was backed up by Andrew Bullen and Peter Rooney. The spectacular batting efforts of "Fred" Stephen and the excellent all round ability of "Nobbs" Nelson should not go without notice. The U15 team also showed themselves as fine competitors mainly due to the efforts of Leon Mitchell and Dale Richardson.

a great job in organising our teams for the relay events each week, and for the team for the Athletic Championship. Morrison House athletics, overall were not highly successful, but in every case their best was given. Tim Bracher and Robert Windmill gained valuable points in the U15. Mark Bell in the open age group, gained first place in the long jump. Other good performances were Rod MacGugan, Robert Anderson, John Wardle and Neil Harrop.

HOCKEY: Our Open House team although lacking experience enjoyed a great term of hockey and even though we didn't win all the time we all had a picnic on the field. We changed players, through the five or six games, at half time and involved as many as we could in the open. The idea was to involve everyone in the ecstacy of being chopped at the leg with a stick, as well as participate. Selected as best players were all the Sixth Formers and Wardle. Shining just a bit brighter were Steel and Aingimea and "Moose" Harrop (who scored a goal). Both the Open and Under 16's did well to gain between 3rd and 5th position in their age groups. Thanks must be given to those who participated in the concert for Social Service, particularly for David Aingimea, who was the chief organiser. The money collected for Social Service this year was given to a family in Geelong—in need of Special Help. Ian Garratt has taken over from D. A. C. Heard and has already shown much interest and concern in this special area of our House activities.

Walls House Prefects : I. D. Johnston, C. F. Macauley, M. L. Mountjoy, D. E. Spencer During 1973, Shannon House has had its fair share of ups and downs with emphasis on the latter—Shannon generally consists of people with average talents with a few splashes of genius to support the House in battle. Throughout the year, the members of the House have tried honestly and taken up the challenge with a great deal of enthusiasm, which is what counts most in a House. However, the fact that Shannon was not endowed with brilliance, allowed almost every member of the House to participate in some field or other. As a result, this report ought to contain the name of each member of House for his much appreciated service. However, mention must be confined to a noted few in particular activities. Although not a particularly successful year, it was heartening to see the enthusiasm and importance of team effort maintained throughout the year. Of course this high level of House spirit could not have been achieved without the strong leadership of Mr. C. J. Barley, who was always ready to encourage the weak and spur the strong. This was particularly evident with his participation in the cross country run to encourage the performance of the runners. Shannon also appreciated the guidance and help of Mr. Crockett, Mrs. Wettenhall and Mr. Murphy, who stood by the boys in their time of need. Many thanks must go to the House Prefects for their help in administering the House activities. Special thanks to Chris Banfield for his help at the swimming trials. 20-73

Meanwhile back on the competitive front, Shannon's only formal engagement was the House Music Competition which was ably conducted by Keith Walls with Bruce Mellor playing the piano. After a shaky start, we settled down and managed to take out third place. The choir was well backed by the instrumentalists. SPORT: Shannon dived into the sporting season with the Swimming Sports and, although we produced two underage champions, Peter Solomon—Under 15, and Peter Millard —Under 16, we could only manage to take out third place overall. Other good performances came from Murray Doak, Allen Brow, Warrick Harwood and Graeme Caudry. Cricket was the next sport we marched into and with Andrew Cooke leading the way, we made a fine spectacle. And that's about all we made because runs were very hard to come by. We did happen to draw one game, thanks to the rain. This fine season was purely a team effort, with no outstanding stars. Although we failed to win a game, I'm sure the boys found it to be a very enjoyable season. The Under 15 team always fought hard but with little success, winning the loser's final. Fine performances came from Michael Carter (Capt.), Mark Newton, Martin Perkins and Greg Vincent. We ventured on down to the Barwon River where the mighty cox of the 1st VIII, Ian Johnston, steered us into third place, which was a tremendous effort, as Mackie and McArthur had a total of seven rowers from the school 1st VIM. Congratulations to Andrew Burns, Warrick Harwood, Clayton Kenner and Simon Gillett, who made up the first four. After the May holidays, we came back full of fight and enthusiasm to do well in the House football. However, this was soon deflated with the tremendous number of injuries we received, having to call on non-footballers to fill the gaps. It was not until the last game that we had a full team and as a result we went on to defeat McArthur very convincingly. We

finished the season in equal fifth position. Good performances came from Andrew Cooke, who led the team with great spirit, Tony Gibbs, top goalkicker and Shannon's best player by far, Cam Macauley, Ian Begley, Dave Spencer and Neil Park. Shannon can be very proud of the Under 15 team. They did not win a game for the season, but the way they would bounce back after defeat with such high spirits was unbelievable. Best performers were Daryl Smith, Simon Fairnie, Simon Golding, Greg Vincent, John Olliff and Simon Gillett (Captain). Provision was made to include hockey in the house competitions. The Captain of our Open team was Chris Banfield, who led the team very capably. The team fought hard all season with most of their matches being very tight. They finished the season winning one match and drawing two. The best performers were Chris Banfield, Andrew Deans, Angus Thorn and Justin Hocking. The Under 15 team had a good season; they showed plenty of determination and attacked the ball, if not the opposition, at all costs. Best players were John Lindros (Captain), Bill Just and Rodney Van Cooten. The Athletic Competitions started off with the cross country run and although finishing only fifth overall, the runners showed plenty of heart with the best individual performances coming from John Olliff and Simon Fairnie (Under 15), John Lindros, Warwick Harwood, Simon Gillett (Under 16), David Perkins (Under 17), Justin Hocking, Tim Layton and Peter Gant (Open). The House Sports were not a raging success, Shannon finishing in 6th place. Our best performances came from the Under 15 and Under 16 divisions with our only winner Gary Preston in the Under 15 Shot Put. Other good performances were John Olliff, Martin Perkins and Rodney Van Cooten. In Under 16 John Lindros put in a mammoth effort and was by far Shannon's best performer. Greg Vincent also did well.

We were very unfortunate that Simon Gillett was injured the day before the sports and could not compete in the hundred and one events in which he was entered. The Under 17 and Open divisions tried hard but did not have the talent to compete successfully against the much stronger houses. Best performers were David Perkins, Andrew Burns, Tim Layton and Aths. Captain, Peter Gant.

1973 has been for Warrinn House a year of growth. This has not only been on the sports field but within the boarding house where spirit has been generally high. Mr. Tattersall's leadership as house-master has been excellent with the house fully behind him. His willingness to discuss matters with the boys has been much appreciated. The role of the house tutors has been one of contributing to the harmony within the house and their work has been of great benefit to all. Mrs. Dale as matron has gone out of her way to help both boys and masters. Preparing "the brew" of cocoa every night for approximately 60 boys has been just one of the many extra things she has done for the house. Tradition prevailed once again this year with Warrinn gaining the wooden-spoon in the House Music. This year participation was voluntary and the competition not for House points : much to our pleasure ! A Warrinn-Mackie dance and a barbecue with the Hermitage fourth form boarders, the latter appreciatively organised by the "greatest," Mr. Harbison. The separation of the 6th formers from the house to the Senior Resident Group did not result in a division in the house and unity was maintained thanks to continued support from this group. 22-73

With the continuance of the College house system as it is at present the future looks bright for Warrinn. Good spirit, co-operation and willing participation have prevailed over the house in 1973 and with the completion of the "new Warrinn" in 1974 an environmental ideal for the development of mind and matter should aid the positive growth of members and future members of Warrinn House. SPORT: Warrinn House was greatly strengthened by sportingly inclined third formers who have made a big impression on the sports field. First event for the year was the swimming sports which we nearly won. One point away from first placing was a tremendous effort. Capably led by Peter Whyte all swimmers performed very well, and it was a very good start to the year. House cricket was relatively successful with second placing over all being achieved. Our captain, Tony Carter, set an example of stubborn resistence to the opposition's onslaught which his fellow team-mates emulated with varying degrees of success. The Walker brothers both gave polished displays with the bat and agriculturalists Slattery and Edgar, continually swished intelligently. Led by Andy Urbahns behind the stumps the U15 side played well. Ian Mitchelhill continually made big scores and his effort was excellent. The bowling of Tim and Ron Walpole was also a highlight. Rowing has not been the choice of many boys this year and consequently our performance in house rowing was poorer than in previous years. Our overall position in rowing was fifth. Onto the football field, and our house spirit was at a peak. Enthusiasm was at a high level for all the U15 games and the result was a brilliant first at the completion of the competition. Mentioning names would require including everyone, for there was not a weakness in the strong, even

brutal, yet efficiently skillful U15 team. The Open team also played well, apart from the match against MacArthur which would have given Warrinn the house football if we had won. We lost by 4 points, which was very disappointing. However, our other matches were played with great teamwork and skill, and the play of Colin Bransgrove, Doug Slattery, "Catty" Thoma, Robby Grant, "Stan" Grant and Peter Dahlenburg is worthy of special note. We finished second overall, which was a great effort. House Hockey was introduced this year and the competition proved very popular. Although some were lacking in skillful technique, the Open team with Andrew Hermiston, Clive Pinniger and Andrew Cameron gave sufficient polish to enable the team three wins. We finished 3rd. For the second year running we won cross-country. Apart from ability, the superior willpower and willingness to compete put Warrinn well above the other houses. This also applied to our win in the athletics which was perhaps the sporting highlight of the year. Early-morning practice and general training proved well worth while for the win was a beauty! Runners Peter Whyte, Rob Grant, Ron Walpole, who won the U16 championship, and Stewart Bell, were tremendous. Malcolm Robertson, in breaking the school U16 shot-put record, must also be congratulated. Although Warrinn narrowly lost the House tennis to Calvert, we convincingly won the overall house competition. Those who played in tennis squad were : A. Carter, C. Bransgrove, L. Walker, J. McLeod, P. Walker, S. Brumby, I. Mitchelhill, A. Morrison and J. Hermiston. Warrinn is Cock House for 1973. The year's success may be attributed to ample ability and particularly willing co-operation and determination in all the Warrinn teams.

FIRST XI Coach : E. B. Davies, Esq. Captain : J. A. Johnstone Vice-Captain : B. W. A. Dunn Committee : M. H. Hooke, W. J. Oman, R. H. Trounce As in season 1972 the 1st XI won two matches and lost four times on the 1st innings. However, it was a good season in that except for one match the games were closely contested and this made the cricket interesting throughout. The team performed quite well considering that only Andrew Johnstone and Russell Trounce had played in all matches in 1972, this made the team rather inexperienced. The team had good variety in bowling, Mitchell Hooke, Warwick Oman and Tony Carter supplied the medium pace, David Mallett off spin, Bruce Dunn leg spin, and Russell Trounce with his left arm "Chinaman" and orthodox kejpt all batsmen guessing, while Jamie Davidson kept wickets well and shows great promise. Andrew Johnstone who captained the team very well was the outstanding batsman with an average of 47.38 per innings, which included a fine century against Xavier. Warwick Oman gave Andrew good support in the opening spot and showed great improvement in technique. John Lucas who came into the team in the 3rd P.S. match, also showed considerable improvement. However, lack of batting depth was the

problem and this showed up in many matches. As usual the fielding and throwing was of a high standard. A highlight of the season was the effective bowling of Tony Carter. Tony bowled with wonderful accuracy, bowling 95.3 overs for only 197 runs including 28 maidens and taking 18 wickets. Tony swung the ball both ways while maintaining pin-point accuracy. It was a wonderful climax at M.G.S. when Tony took a "hat trick" with David Mallett catching the three batsmen at first slip. Could this be a world record ? Prior to the season commencing the College team, consisting mainly of players from 1972, had a very successful tour of New Zealand, the fourth since 1963. Matches were played in Palmerston North, Wanganui, Invercargill, Dunedin, Napier, and Christchurch. As in past years our thanks go to the Chamber's family for their hospitality. Our annual barbecue is certainly looked forward to by the boys. Also to Stewart Rankin and the ground staff, our thanks for great "tracks" and ideal conditions at all times for practice and matches. 1973 FIRST XI PLAYERS Johnstone, J. A. (Captain), Dunn, B. W. A.

Coach : E. B. Davies, Esq. Captain : Bransgrove, C. E. Vice-Captain : Johnstone, J. A. Committee : Hooke, M. H., Henderson, D. J., Trounce, R. H. Captain's Report: With first 18 possibles numbering 27 the season of 73 looked promising. To find the right combination and the best possible balance however was to take an all too long period of time, in an all too short season, even with the experience and wisdom of Mr. Davies behind us. These pre-requisites were satisfied however and all that was needed was confidence, and this was to come with a determined win against Geelong Grammar. We followed by thrashing St. Kevin's in a skilful exhibition of football, but bad kicking and bad football marred the game against Wesley. The final match of the A.P.S. season was to prove perhaps the climax of the season. Playing premiers Xavier, we proved our worth as a skilled and balanced team and the game was a fitting end to a rewarding season for all first 18 players. Thanks must go to all who gave assistance and .support to the team throughout the season in such generous fashion. They certainly saw the flying horse come home strongly! Coach's Report: I felt that we have had our best year for sometime. Unfortunately we were unable to find our best team until half way through the season. By this time we had lost three hard fought games against strong teams, Scotch, Haileybury and Carey. However, with the inclusion of John Tantau in the ruck and some switching of positions, the team suddenly clicked and improved beyond expectations. Good wins were recorded against Geelong Grammar and St, Kevin's, a heart breaking loss against Wesley and a really fine match against the undefeated premiers Xavier, to whom we offer our congratulations on a wonderful season. It was a treat to see the College XVIII play good hard football and at the same time produce all the skills of our great game. 28-73

I would like to congratulate Colin Bransgrove for his inspiring and skilful captaincy, Colin certainly has made a mark at Geelong College. Andrew Johnstone also played extremely well and ably assisted Colin in the control of the team. It was bad luck that Andrew missed some matches due to injury. This year we had a very successful carnival at College and we congratulate Hale on being victorious. They certainly were a good team and fully deserved the win. Scotch was a young team and will be a power in the future. Our thanks go to Gavin Currell, our very competent trainer, and all who assisted him. Also our gratitude goes to the grounds and Refectory staff for their help. As coach, I would like to add a personal thanks to all coaches who without their help it would be impossible to put such competent teams into the field. Finally to Jim Turner, it's good to have an efficient goal umpire, hope you will have a 100 up soon. Those who played were : Bransgrove, C. E. (Capt.), Johnstone, J. A. (Vice-Capt.), Anderson, J. B., Cameron, A, McL, Chirnside, S. Mel., Cooke, A. J., Dohnt, P. A., Dunn, B. W. A., Durnan, J. C, Eastoe, J. B., Gibbs, A. J., Gibson, J. D., .Graham, P. J., Grant, R. S., Henderson, D.

C, Ware, A. D. Goal Umpire : Turner, J. A. W.

FIRST P.S. MATCH The Geelong College v. Carey at College. College was confident that it could score a first up win because training had been quite good. However this was not to be, as we lost by 28 points in a disappointing effort. The basic fundamentals of the game such as ball handling, kicking, marking Were poor and so teamwork was non existent. Carey had a bigger team physically and some outstanding players who dominated the match. However the team never gave up and played with determination throughout. Final Score : G.C. 3.5 (23) C.B.G.S. 5.9 (39) Goal Kickers : Trounce, Bransgrove, Gibson. Best Players : Trounce, Bransgrove, Henderson, Gibbs, Rooney. SECOND P.S. MATCH The Geelong College v. Haileybury at Haileybury. College was really determined to perform better in this match, and for the first half matched the taller and more skilful Haileybury XVIII. At half time H.C. led by only 7 points. The unfortunate loss of Tony Ware, our tallest ruckman, at half time, proved costly, as the reshuffle of the team weakened the back line considerably. Haileybury with superior strength and high marking gradually pulled away from College and a devastating burst of 6 goals to nil in the last quarter saw Haileybury go to a comfortable win. Both the Haileybury team and supporters complimented our XVIII on a great fight against odds. It was pleasing to see much improvement in our overall play. Final Score : G.C. 5.9 (39) H.C. 14.4 (98) Goal kickers : Johnstone (4), Gibson (1). Best Players : Henderson, Rooney, Hooke, Cooke, Johnstone, Bransgrove. THIRD P.S. MATCH The Geelong College v. Scotch at College. The main feature of this match was the inclusion of John Tantau in the ruck. John a tall player with plenty of spring and a natural "palmer" of the ball, quickly improved the College rucks. Although the College gained good use of the ball from John Tantau and Donald Henderson in the centre, the overall strength and skill of the Scotch team gradually wore down the College resistance. The team had played well in bursts but were unable to sustain their efforts. The loss of Andrew Johnstone at half time was a blow to College. Final Score : G.C. 6.10 (46) S.C. 15.9 (99) Goal Kickers : Gibson (2), Johnstone, Rooney, Graham, Gibbs. Best Players : Henderson, Rooney, Tantau, Dohnt, Gibbs, Wood, A. FOURTH P.S. MATCH The Geelong College v. Geelong Grammar at Corio. With the exception of Andrew Johnstone (injured) College journeyed to Corio with what appeared to be our best XVIII. It was with confidence that we faced Grammar who were not enjoying the best of seasons. Both teams showed much tension and determination in the first half and the standard of football was not high. College led by a small margin at this point. As the second half commenced College started to develop good system and gradually got on top of the Grammar team. The last quarter was all College and the team for the first time really looked a good combination. This win seemed to build up confidence and we -looked forward to more improvement.

Final Score : G.C. 9.8 (62) Grammar 4.9 (33) Goal Kickers : Gibson (3), Dunn (2), Trounce, Gibbs, Ware, Durnan. Best Players : Bransgrove, Henderson, Dunn, Hooke, Graham, Trounce, Rooney, Tantau. FIFTH P.S. MATCH The Geelong College v. St. Kevin's at St. Kevin's. After a good win against Grammar the team looked forward to a good tussle with St. Kevin's, who had played well in the early matches. The match started with two quick goals from College, one a great shot from the boundary by Jim Gibson. This seemed to spur the team onwards and from that point it was never headed. It was College's best game for many years, and St. Kevin's considered the team to be the best they had played so far. The whole College team played well and showed really good teamwork and skill. Jim Gibson's eight goals was a feature of the game. Final Score : G.C. 18.13 (121) St. K.C. 8.6 (54) Goal Kickers : Gibson (8), Ware (3), Dunn (3), Henderson (2), Graham, Walker. Best Players : Rooney, Henderson, Gibson, Bransgrove, A. Wood, Gibbs, Hooke. SIXTH P.S. MATCH The Geelong College v. Wesley at Wesley. After our great morale boosting match against St. Kevin's it was unfortunate that an epidemic of sickness forced five changes in the team. However, the team played with great determination; matched everything Wesley could put forward and but for poor kicking at goal the College could have had a handy lead at half time. In the last half College had the most of play but could not put the ball through the big sticks. Wesley on the other hand made use of every opportunity and scored valuable goals instead of points. In an exciting finish Wesley held off a determined College bid for victory. John Anderson with four goals from the half forward flank gave a really good exhibition which lifted the College side. Final Score :

G.C. 10.21 (81) W.C. 14.11 (95) Goal Kickers : Anderson (4), Dunn (2), A. Wood, Johnstone. Best Players : Anderson, A. Wood, N. Wood, Trounce, Hooke, Dunn. SEVENTH P.S. MATCH The Geelong College v. Xavier at College. A large crowd was in attendance to witness this match as Xavier required a win over College to secure the premiership. The match lived up to its promise and the teams gave a great exhibition of all facets of the game. The football displayed on both sides was the best seen at College since our great team of 1963. It was a terrific struggle and at three quarter time the scores were level at 7.13 each, it was anybody's game. College had played their best football for years, even without Jim Gibson, our full forward, who was still on the sick list. An injury to John Tantau early in the match meant a loss of drive from the rucks. The last quarter opened at a fast pace with Xavier notching 2 goals, this gave them confidence and with great skill and teamwork they demoralised the College team who seemed powerless to stop them. Before the bell sounded Xavier in a phenomenal burst had scored 10.3 to nil and the premiership was theirs. We congratulate them on being undefeated for the season.

Final Score : College 7.12 (54) Xavier 17.15 (117) Goal Kickers : N. Wood (4), Johnstone, Henderson, Graham. Best Players : Johnstone, Rooney, Bransgrove, N. Wood, Gibbs, Eastoe.

Masters-in-Charge : R. Slingo, Esq. and D. Roffey, Esq.

This year saw the continuation of the high standard of umpiring as in previous years. It might be surprising to note that no fewer than seventy seven matches were umpired this season. Under the joint guidance of Mr. Slingo and Mr. Roffey, training sessions covered a wide range of activities ranging from cross country running and ball bouncing to lectures on the rules of the game and the interpretation of them. The central umpires this year included John Lees and Geoff Winckle, as well as various staff members whose help was greatly appreciated. Apart from the central umpires, the boundary and goal umpires also deserve recognition for their services to the game. These include Ian Dykes, Stephen Gough, Andrew Robb, Wayne Redpathr Neville Daniels and Milton Brown as boundary umpires, with James Turner as goal umpire. Besides the numerous under age and sometimes open A.P.S. football matches every Saturday, umpires were also supplied for open division and under fifteen division House Football Matches. To others who volunteered their services throughout the season, go our thanks for their greatly appreciated help. Umpiring is never an easy task, for it provides much mental as well as physical hard work, without a great deal of credit being given. Nevertheless, it is as vital to the game as the players themselves, and we hope that the high standards reached in the past will continue to be upheld in future years.

Coaches : R. Salen, Esq., C. S. Crockett, Esq. Captain : P. M. Morton Committee : J. F. Head, T. Mullins, P. T. Chung

This year the College competed in five inter-school competitions and did well in beating Xavier, St. Kevin's, Melbourne Grammar and Brighton Grammar. However, the team gained most of its points from individual events and fell back in the relays due to lack of swimming depth. ATI age groups this year had some very strong swimmers, which showed out especially on the 10th March at the "Geelong All Schools" competition. The shield was again reclaimed this year for the thirteenth time by a large margin and showed great potential for the future swimming team. Notable swimmers this year were J. Head, T. Mullins, P. Millard, R. Ford, P. Solomon and S. Hocking. Many others who are not listed showed determination and continual willingness to do their best. Life-saving this year again provided a chance for those not competing in races to gain valuable training and experience and under the guidance of Mr. Crockett proved a great success. The annual swimming sports were held at Kardinia on the 1st March and proved to be an enjoyable day for all those concerned. The result of the inter-house contest was not known until the conclusion of the last event, but McArthur ran out the eventual winners from Warrinn. Aggregate-points w e r e : McArthur 138, Warrinn 137, Shannon 119, Mackie 73, Morrison 41. The open championship was won by J. F. Head with a total of 8 points, A. R. Wood was second with 5 points. Other individual championships were : U16—P. M. Morton 6 pts 1st, S. H. Barley 3 pts 2nd U15—P. V. Millard 7 pts 1st, R. L Ford 5 pts, 2nd

Master-in-Charge : R. S. Hunt, Esq. Captain : A. Hermiston, Esq. Committee : C. G. Ingham, Esq., C. Banfield, S. Duff, L Fritz, A. Keen The standard of Hockey has improved throughout the year in all age groups. Interest has increased due to the introduction of House Hockey which will be included in overall counting of House points. This season both the senior hockey ground and the prep, school ground have been used to capacity. The College has purchased a new set of goals after much persuasion that the old were of no use. Mr. J. Urquhart was presented with a stop watch in gratitude for his services to the College. He has umpired Open Hockey matches for the past three years. Thanks are also due to Stephen Davey and to Mr. Ken McLean for umpiring and coaching. Open B did well in Melbourne competitions with wins and occasional losses. Under Mr. W. Armstrong they enjoyed the season. Mr. Patchett's Under 16B team improved its skill and teamwork through 73. They played in a local competition. The A team suggested many good possibilities for next year. Coached by Mr. R. Hunt they were undefeated. Under 14 hockey players had an enjoyable year's competition, being coached by Mr. Murphy during training and by Mr. Ken McLean on Saturday morning. The Open A hockey team had a very successful year. After our good performance in 72, the Independent Schools Hockey Association decide to put us up into A division. We enjoyed the stiffer competition which improved our Hockey ability. All the matches were very close, but our shooting for goal let us down. We thank all the parents who gave up their time to drive us to Melbourne and Mr. C. Ingham for coaching us to a successful season.

Master-in-Charge, R. J. Casey, Esq. Committee : Gibson, J. D. (Captain), Walker, R. P. (Vice-Captain), Bransgrove, C. E., Cowan, G. R., Dohnt, P.A., MacLeod, J. E. This year's tennis teams enjoyed more success than tennis teams in this school have for many years. The firsts looked possible contenders for the premiership with only Melbourne Grammar School left to play, but were narrowly defeated in a very exciting match. The highlight of the season could well have been the victory over last year's premiers, Caulfield Grammar School. The depth of tennis in the school is particularly strong, as was borne out by the seconds and thirds teams both being undefeated for the season. The under fifteen A and B teams both performed creditably, and some excellent prospects for future years emerged in this division. Geoff Cowan and David Osborne both brought credit to the school by being selected in the seconds and under fifteen A.P.S. teams respectively, to play the annual match against the A.G.S. Social matches played in first term were with the Morongo team, and against a staff team, which resulted in a genuine (for once) draw. The popularity of tennis in the school is obviously on the increase, as shown by the tremendous number of boys who chose tennis as a sport in first term, and for the first time, some boys also played tennis for their sport in second term. The tournaments proved very popular also, with Geoff Cowan defeating Philip Walker in a very entertaining match in the open singles final and John MacLeod defeating Chris Crawford in a very tense and close under fifteen final. The school was very fortunate to obtain the services of Mr. Don Cameron, the resident professional tennis coach of the Geelong Lawn Tennis Club, who spent many hours before school in second and 36-73

third term coaching some 20 boys, with great improvement evident in the play of these boys. Thanks must also go to the coaches of the various teams for the time and enthusiasm they put into the tennis, and in particular to Mr. Ingham and Mr. Tate for supervising the practice of the boys not playing in school teams. Jim Gibson, as Captain of Tennis, set a fine example both on and off the court, and his efforts were appreciated by all concerned. FIRSTS TEAM Coach : R. J. Casey, Esq.

Master-in-Charge : R. M. Morris Captain of Boats : G. M. Pyle Committee : G. D. Amezdroz, S. Mel. Chirnside, W. S. Crosby, C. D. Fenner, G. M. Pyle Rowing began for the Senior Eights, a week before school resumed, with a pre-season training camp. During the camp, a fierce keenness was noticeable, as all members of the squad were anxious to impress the new first and second eight coaches, David Ramage and Peter "Dusty" Miller. It was fitting that a protege of Albert Bell, who had served the Boat Club so well in past years, would replace Mr. Bell as coach. In addition to these two senior coaches, our thanks are extended to all others associated with the club including Syd Thomas (third VIM coach), Richard Morris (fourth VIII coach), Bob George (fifth VIII coach), Charles de Fageley (sixth VIM coach), Eoin Barnett (seventh VIM coach), Doug Stott (eighth VIM coach), Frank Stevens (boat maintenance), Jim Rennie and staff (nourishment), Fred Herd (provision of rowing steaks), Austin Gray (donor of the new four "Catherine Gray") and Peter Cronk and Ted Davies (physical fitness and muscle builders).

This year the Boat Club broadened its activities considerably to help generate more enthusiasm in its membership of one hundred and twenty rowers—eights VIM's, four IV's and numerous odds and ends. Apart from attending many more regattas this year such as the Scotch-Mercantile, Henley, Barwon, Ballarat and Junior Regattas, much interest was shown in the Boat Club Dance held in the Corio Bay Rowing Club. To complete the season members from the first and second VIM's went on tour to compete in the Easter regattas at Mildura and Wentworth, where they were able to notch up several victories and trophies. The acquisition of new equipment through generous donations and Boat Club funds, has proved valuable to all members, especially the junior rowers. A new competition four, "Catherine Gray," a new training tub pair, "Syd Thomas," and two new fibreglass sculls were named at the conclusion of the House Rowing competitions. The House Rowing held on a Saturday this year, was of high standard throughout, with McArthur defeating Mackie in a thrilling finish to the first IV competition. Overall winner was MacArthur followed by Mackie. Morrison, Shannon, Warrinn and Calvert filled the remaining positions, in order.

The 1973 rowing season was spirited and showed that rowing in future years should show a steady improvement in quality. The continuing assistance of Mr. Morris as master-in-charge, was again greatly appreciated by all members of the Club. His task became more difficult throughout the season, because of increased regatta entries and organisation, but his capable administration ensured the success of the crews of the Boat Club. The club would also like to thank Graeme Pyle as Captain of Boats and the Rowing Committee for their great work within the club this year. HEAD OF THE RIVER RESULTS FIRST VIM D. B. Ramage, Esq.

Master-in-Charge : R. W. Seaton, Esq. At last the College has won a Geelong District Baseball Premiership. The senior team, made up of boys, staff and old boys, won the C Grade competition and became the initial holders of a new trophy 'The Clarry Smith Cup." The team won twelve of the fifteen home-and-home games to finish in second position and then went on to defeat Diamond Club 20 runs to 14 in the preliminary final, and Grovedale 37 runs to 17 in the Grand Final. The strength of the team lay in its batting and in the good pitching of Warwick Oman. Warwick was voted equal best C Grade player by the umpires. Others who played well were Michael Batt, catcher, Greg Smith on second base, Peter Cox, Stuart Crosby and Lee Harding in the outfield. The staff members who played were Messrs. Davies, Egan, Roland and Seaton.

The under seventeen team was made up almost entirely of third and fourth formers and while not winning many games in 1973, showed such improvement that the College can look forward to a good season in 1974. Peter Dunn proved a good catcher and Gary Van Someren, Fred Bubko, Clive Amery and Peter Schofield were improving as in-fielders. Phillip Bolton pitched accurately and if he can increase his speed, will begin to worry opposing batters. Ian Mitchelhill played several games and was a great help as relieving pitcher and reliable batter. Lee Harding was selected as a member of the Geelong District under seventeen team as an outfielder. Both teams were coached by Mr. Seaton, and Mr. Norman assisted with the under 17 team.

CROSS COUNTRY Masters-in-Charge : I. C. Sheppard, Esq., and D. I. McCallum, Esq. Captain : P. M. Whyte This year's cross-country was run as a get fit, keep fit sport and no-one was forced to run competitively each Saturday, though we usually had three boys running each week. Our first run for the season was at Albert Park Lake, where most of our runners did quite well. Our second run at Geelong Grammar School proved eventful for Stephen Silcock in the Under sixteen age group, who came 25th out of 139 runners. Our open section gained an 11th and 112th place in a large field of 145 competitors. We had no under sixteen runners in our third run

CROSS

but our open team, despite the icy cold weather did quite well considering the large number of runners. John Wardle came 73rd, Rod McGugan 48th with Peter Whyte 8th, which was his best run for the season. Our last official run was at the Domain, although R. Barnes and R. McGugan did go to another meeting later on in the season. At the Domain David Morris came 91st and P. Whyte 9th out of a large group of runners. Throughout the season we had quite a lot of good performances and all those who competed enjoyed it. I would like to thank Mr. Sheppard, who trained us, and Mr. McCallum who saw that we got to our cross-country meetings. P. M. WHYTE

During our short season we were blessed by fair weather. As good weather has a great bearing on both numbers and quality of training, things augured well. Some of our A.P.S. prospects had trained during the September vacation—using the schedule made available to them—though it became painfully apparent that many had not. Shin-soreness, sore achilles tendons, sore calf-muscles, and undue general fatigue due to lack of adequate pre-season training hampers many boys every year, this year being no exception. lt we are to improve significantly, this is one area where we can do better. Our participation in small invitation meetings at Scotch and Haileybury was quite successful and those who availed themselves of this opportunity to compete under inter-school conditions could only have gained through the experience. Most prospective members of the aths. squad trained hard, and generally a cheerful and purposeful atmosphere prevailed during training sessions. The Inter-House Sports were held on October 13 which dawned a beautiful, still, sunny day—perfect for athletics. Those who attended—nearly all of whom were either competitors or their parents— witnessed a fine spectacle, Warrinn House narrowly defeating Mackie for the House Championship. Individual champions were : Open, M. H. Hooke & J. A. Johnstone equal first, Under 17, H. A. Kelso, Under 16, R. P. Walpole and Under 15, J.. E. Harbison.

42-73

College gave a good account of itself at the Quadrangular Sports held on Senior Oval the following Saturday, easily defeating Geelong Grammar and Ballarat College. St. Joseph's withdrew from the meeting after the first feto events due to the incredibly wet and windy conditions. Final points were : Geelong College 584, Ballarat College 496, Geelong Grammar School 422. Thus, the way was paved for the A.P.S. Combined Sports. The team was quietly optimistic due to good performances during the season, especially from the Under 15 division. At the heats on Wednesday, October 24th at Olympic Park, the team succeeded in gaining places in ten first division finals out of twenty-three for the meeting on Saturday. Unfortunately, one of our best prospects, Tim Bracher, broke-down during the afternoon and this was a great set-back for the team and a disappointment for Tim. We wish him well next year. The Combined Sports turned out to be a triumph for the boys who took part. The team gained its best placing for seven years, and congratulations must be extended to Stuart Bell, Philip Hodgins, John Harbison and Mai Robertson who won their respective events, Mai Robertson creating a new A.P.S. record. Creditable performances were achieved by : Stuart Bell 1st Under 15 100M, 2nd Under 15 Hurdles; Philip Hodgins 1st Under 15 High Jump; John Harbison 1st Under 15 800M; Mai Robertson 1st Under 16 Shot Put (A.P.S. Record); Hugh Kelso 3rd Under 17 800M; Ian Guyett 3rd Under 16 200M, 4th Under 16 100M; Peter Whyte "4th Open 3000M; Andrew Johnstone 2nd Open 400M. Mitch Hooke was an inspiring Team Captain during the season, setting a fine example and performing extremely well at the A.P.S. Sports, winning 2nd Division Finals in the Open 100M, 200M, and running an extremely strong final leg in the 4 x OOOM Relay which won the Division 2 Final. Thanks go to all competitors, officials, and ground-staff for their efforts and help during the season.

School Assemblies during the year provided a great variety of experience for the School. The programme of addresses included the Principal, Deputy Principal and Vice-Principal on Mondays in Term I. The Reverend Corr either spoke himself or brought along a guest on Fridays in Terms I and II. In Term III the modified Tutorial System was introduced and we no longer assembled on Fridays. It seems an appropriate place to thank the Reverend Corr for speaking to us on so many occasions and we hope to hear from him in the future—if not as often. In any case, we will continue to enjoy his friendship and helpful influence in the school on a less formal basis. During Term II Professor Watson arrived and we were soon to benefit from his wealth of experience and interpretation of the Christian message to our present day lives. He spoke to us every Monday and organised the Thursday programme for the remainder of the year. Three other features of this year's assemblies were addresses from members of staff (always of high quality and stimulating), Sixth Form presentations (not always of high quality but always stimulating) and various films and television minute spots. The music was varied—from classical to Godspell. The Hymn singing was disappointing, many boys allowing their inhibitions to deny them the joy that singing can bring apart from its value as a form of worship.: A report on these activities would be inadequate if it did not praise the very efficient work of the Morrison Hall Committee. The standards of reliability and willingness set by this Committee over the years are unsurpassed in the life of the School.

MOODS Playing a flute, he was, and the creamy sounds wafted, tinkled, tankled, pranced, enhanced, coloured and painted freshly the countryside and twinkling galaxies. I was lying in the dew grass on a distant hill, drinking, smoking, dying silently and when I heard it I wanted very much to become pure again, but birth was a long way away, the pulsating womb a distant thought. Listening to the music and concentrating, at times I could feel the slow, rhythmic heartbeat of a being in which I was once contained : thin skinned, sinewy, embryo. Unemotional, unintentional. I even groped back across green and purple flashes to a seed (a wheat seed I think, swaying in the wind). Then projected forward upon a predestined trajectory, to the same heavy slow beat, groans increasing in volume, a million fathers pacing hospital corridors everywhere expecting footballers, Tarzans. I am spat forth onto sterile plastic inside concrete shapes. Pure no more. The billowing waves of music carried me back gently to happier times. Now. There was a slight breeze and the blue sunlight was barely warm enough. Enough to keep comfortable stomach, feet, face, heart though. The breeze changed slightly and the music became a little more distant, a little colder, a little unwarmer. State school drifts over and down. Screaming demons and pure panties (interesting but void of sexuality). Hot summers inside warm glassy windows, patches of sunlight, scratchy pens and "hurrahs." Sweaty teacher talks aimlessly as laughy chalk buzzes overhead. Giggling girls, morning talk, pony tails, morning play. Lunch box behind the old, bearded log where pine needles laid a bed for our fantasies. Clatter, clatter, back inside, scruffy necked, shirt tailed, socks down, hair everywhere, red hot. Voices mysteriously float around on waves of heat and bounce from dusty corner to corner. Melt away into sweet worky smell for an hour and then footsteps heavily on wood, tacky asphalt, dirt, dust amidst goodbyes, hellos, hair-netted mothers, earth-fathers, bikes clatter, people laughing, crying. Keyhole boy peeks through girls' toilet and runs off to spread the good news. The emotions repeat themselves day after sticky day and melt into Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer again. Remember Christmas, Father Christmas, "be good boys," pillow-cased beds harbouring greedy demons. Cup of 52-73

lemonade and hedgehog wait expectantly beneath chimney. Christmas tree got from "Myrtle Creek" plantation just near the old school. And how every year we'd sit down to roast duck which I never liked anyway except at Christmas, and out would come the happy bon-bons from a secret cupboard. All purples, deep blues and cow lick greens. And it always worked out somehow that I got something, a ring maybe, or a charcoal canon, or a . . . Back I came surging forward with each fresh burst of flute. I couldn't see the musician, but I knew who he was. He had no shoes, long dark religious hair rippling, curdling over his shoulder blades. The folds in his robe corresponded perfectly with the folds of the green hills and valleys which surrounded him. Around his waist a chain made from silvery, crystalline beads of water and assorted planets formed a blue halo around his head. His face was soft and clean and deep. As I made my way across slippery hills to see a super-human who was the soul of my happiness the crackled twigs tickled my feet and again images from countless aeons past came flooding back. Solid squares of vivid red flashed past followed by myriads of small yellow stars backed by a bluish, superman hue that gave the scene just that small touch of Disney surrealism necessary. A touch of surrealism that could make a satire out of the most obscure object. This pattern continued and at various points I could distinguish patterns and designs synonomous with different periods in time. Gothic, Neolithic, prehistoric. And the strange thing was, I could identify myself with all of these dusted ages. I felt part of them, and immediately as each age paraded itself before my new eyes I could single out a building, a fence, a piece of furniture or a person that I recognised, not as a novelty or an interesting phenomenon, but as the feel of cold stone against my hand or as a living personality which I knew. Then image after image poured in in no order. I lost my concentration and plunged into a sea of everything. A sea of harmonious paradoxes, where opposite poles made passionate love, where X equalled two and six at the same time, where the equation was never solved, could never be solved and what's more where relativity had no meaning. As this archaic revolution grew in my head, so did the importance of life and its trivialities in a non-relative, material world recede. It receded into a deep

cavern labelled THING and with it went HP words signifying THINGS. And what was left was so spiritual, so lovely, so relative. I glided over the hill in slow motion ecstacy, hair flowing and all reality hit me like a sledgehammer as I saw the source of my visions. The flute stopped and on top of a million-storied, steel, iron-girded, tin-plated scaffolded apartment building, a Yashica tape deck, studded, plastic glitter, belted out grotesque, cliche ridden teenage songs.

Your sight ? The flicker of an assassin's shadow. Your hearing ? A splitting tree on a deadly course. Touch ? * Raw flesh rips from a scorching pot. Speech ? A friend about to be clubbed. Pessimistic, certainly But which do you value the most ? GREG PLUMRIDGE

ONE LOST PERIOD

CONCERNING THE ORPHANS

This head is full, Full of dark stars, bleeding dreams. Acting a part it does not play, On a stage it cannot realise, In a rejecting world. This body is lost, In pastures of bricks and smoky concrete Wandering, but never finding, Skin pierced by a backwards future Worn by endless rains of persecution. This soul wants to be free. Chains of hate bind him To those he still loves. This person is lost. MICHAEL BARLEY

When a number of window panes are broken or cracked numbers of little splinters fall to the ground and sometimes hurt people when they get them in their feet or hands. The window is repaired sometimes but many times it remains cracked and broken.

PEOPLE Like baffled trees Swaying unnaturally in the wind Following their shadows Then uncertainly they rest In the peacefulness of the calm, Unaware of the closeness of the storm Till awakened by the torturing winds They fight to retain their branches, Though in vain, And suddenly find their end.

Why does the drunken driver drink ? Why do people get killed with not a cause ? Why does a person kill a man ? Why do they anger so easily ? Why do Generals become what they are ? Why do they start a war ? Why! Why are questions left unanswered ? MARTIN PERKINS THE PRISONER Where the mountains stream down to the green at their base In the pass of the ravine lies Thomas' place. And the happy dancers are merry and bright For the pride of Jacky—his daughter— tonight. With a clatter of carriages and the jingle of belts The soldiers rode up and the merriment melts And the men stood transfixed, who were laughing before At the sparkle of steel—they race to the door. Jack Woret, long wanted, is caught at long last And the days of his robbing and raiding are past. For he is held prisoner, caught during his task And to rest there the night is what the soldiers ask. In the shed they lash him to post and to ring For the strength of him is a marvellous thing. Then they crowd to the dance and the night moves apace. And there's laughing and loving at Thomas' place. But Jacky creeps out and stands crying apart For the love of Jack tears at her heart. In good and in evil, despite the guilt and the shame The love of a woman alone is the same. BENJAMIN ONG

THE NIGHTLY PROGRESS An hour ago . . .

THE WINDY LAKE If you're down by the windy lake my friend, You had better not be alone. For down by the windy lake my friend, Lurks the hideous Green-nosed Gnome. It was down by the windy lake years ago, When brilliantly shone the moon And down from the hideous heights years ago Came the wicked black witch on her broom. And there by the windy lake were they, The handsome young Prince and his dame. Making love beneath the stars were they, When the witch laid a terrible bane. And there by the windy lake she screamed, "Ne'er more upon life shall ye smile, And as well as that, my friends," she screamed, "Ever here shall ye bide your while." And down by the windy lake that night, He was turned to a green-nosed gnome, And she to a grovelling hag that night, When the moon so brightly shone. So when you're travelling that road, my friend, You had better run like hell Past the sign that says "Windy Lake" my friend, For there do the two demons dwell. ANDREW CASSIDY

THE FIRE Sweeping a trail of destruction, The bushfire takes its toll; Tearing through the forest; The frightened mare covers her foal. Burning trees like matchsticks, The Bushfire lights the scrub; Spreading through the grassland The gum trees start to "rub." Reaching the plain by sunset, The bushfire takes the "flow"; Meeting its end at the clay pan, The trees have nothing to show. All that remains are fiery embers, Where once the wildlife played; The blackened stumps bear the memories Of where green nature did fade. HAIKU—THE DAWN After the black night, The early morning sun creeps high, Sparkling the dew. DEREK McFARLAND 55-73

WAR The gun's last echoes fade into the still night, A deathly silence descends upon the world All the violence and death, the pain The starving homeless zombies stumbling through the night. How many lives have been thrown away to rot, And then to have a new civilisation built over them ? As the endless life cycle crawls on. War is such a waste. JOHN GREEN They marched off Nervous, full of fear Bravely they covered their thoughts Grievous, full of fear. The battle loomed Terror, full of fear Desperately they fought for their country Madness, full of fear. Red the ground Scared, full of fear Wearing fighting for life Dead, full of fear. Rotting the bodies Peace, full of fear Time for regretting, forgiving Rest, full of fear. But who cares ? More will fight and die. Human life is priceless But Generals keep asking for more. War is horrible Death is worse Grieving for years But others will fight Brave yet dead . . . GREG KING FIRING SQUAD What are your thoughts ? How do you feel, there ? You are a great man now.

WAR War—the hatred between two countries Injuries, dying, murder and death, Noise, people deaf— Tanks, jeeps, missiles, ambushes, troops marching, Machine guns firing one hundred bullets a second, Planes flying overhead and bombing towns, Innocent people dying, Children dying, Homes lost Children dying, Homes lost.

A STRANGE TIME TO PONDER ? ? ? The officer lit my cigarette. I looked at it, hanging from my mouth. Was it King-sized or mini ? Dual filtered or single ? Menthol, plain, or Virginia ? Manufactured or "roll-your-own" ? Imported or local ? Expensive or cheap ? I pondered. I pondered the facts of this half-smoked cigarette. I thought of the soldiers, whom I had betrayed. I thought of the enemy whom I had helped, Of the soldiers1 loved ones, they want me dead. Of the enemy commanders, callously apathetic of my fate. A quarter of a cigarette to go. The plans of the raid, I had long since forgotten. The commanders know them. I had since forgotten the numbers of dead and wounded. The commanders know them. No more cigarette. "READY!" "AIM !" "FIRE !" . . . JAMES TURNER 57 - 73

The rest of the day passed with more cloudburst, and more congratulations and even a 1,200 dollar offer for the horse.

THE 24th OF JANUARY Let the laughs of youth ring in your ears When youth has flirted with the wind And faded with the twilight. When youth has melted Like the ice-cream on my tongue Let not the laughs of youth Be melted into emptiness. Rather, When the substance of youth has melted Into the shadows of twilight, Slip a chewing gum between your lips And chew over the delights of the times When the sun and you were young. Do you remember the time When the moon and we were young, And our laughs had the flavour of lemonade And the songs we had from the juke-box Stealing under the naked flourescent tube To our table at St. Mike's Had the flavour of ice-cream ?

THE SUNSET The day was ageing quickly, and the sun was beginning to touch the horizon. Cumulus clouds were appearing as beautiful puffs of pink and purple, fairy-floss on the shallowing sky. The sunset seemed to be a vast pantomime stage, with the sun as the leading actor. Suddenly, the sun is murdered in his bed and his bloodshed shows up as brilliant crimson lines, reaching outwards. The play draws to an end, with the sky darkening to an intense dark blue. Gradually the curtain pulls across the stage and the land seems to clap at one of nature's most beautiful sights. DEREK McFARLAND I AM A MOUNTAIN I am a mountain. I am so tall. I can see for miles because I am so tall. I can see all over the countryside. I am lucky to be so tali and it is good fun too.

"CHAIN" Sun, sand, and surf; the rattle of waves on water—washed pebbles. —fight, boy fight! get out of your hole ! Warm summer breeze; cool, wet sand between toes. —run hard, boy ! strive and yield not; for we are runners, all, from birth. The soft water runs swiftly up the sand course, forming twin turbulence patterns as it gushes swiftly over fettered ankles, only to slip backwards just as quickly to the security of the boundless sea. Would that it could hide a body black and blufe, among the dancing waves of a vast, free and timeless sea. The wind, racing in from the distant horizon blasts my face incessantly; yet J turn, full on, and revel in it. The blue serenity of the wide sky fades; the vast, watchful orb of the sun dips tearfully into the sparkling amber of terrestrial bounds. I turn my back; I die, and plod homewards. J. c. MCKENZIE

DEATH, Lingering in the air, Watching, waiting for a chance to strike. TIMOTHY BRACHER

TWO POEMS 1. Out of the blue melancholy, came a hand, To crush the ripe grape of life, in anger and flame, Until the sweet bewilderment, trickles with shame. 2. Under the stars, I drink, come my friends, And with the crickets sing, leave all entar,elements, And fly under my wings. CHUNG, P. T.

THE ALBATROSS So effortlessly does he glide upwards, Soaring, plunging, climbing. The serenity, the dignity of this creature, So superior in his environment, The ruler of the misting skies. And all the while his eyes scan The frothing profusion beneath his throne, To apprehend those who stray From beneath their realm, Below the waves. He towers above the billowing swell. Still and motionless, as though Thinking the thoughts all kings think, Of a wilderness beneath his feet, to us. But to him, his own domain. DAVID SUTHERLAND

JUMBO LIFT OFF Silently the jumbo sits on the taxiway, like some giant sitting on a vast plain. A man in white overalls runs on to the vast expanse of concrete with what appears like two table-tennis bats. Standing vertically he turns one of these bats on a slight angle. Then the Jumbo arouses with a loud humming. It gets louder and louder, and finally reaches a shrill, ear-piercing screech. My ears feel numb. Then the Jumbo moves, slowly it taxies out to the centre of the taxiway, following the signals given by the man with what appeared like table-tennis bats. Then it gets on the right angle for the runway, and slowly moves forward. Gradually it gathers speed, faster, faster. Then the nose rises up, upward to the vast skies above. The whole great machine lifts off the ground and rises high into the sky. It sounds only a distant hum now, and my ears feel free to listen. No more is it a great Jumbo. It is merely a speck in the sky, heading for some distant land.

NIGHT I stand with fingers numb, The night air cold and eerie. The wind whistles and howls As it plays with the trees. The washing on the line casts monsters on the grass. The screech of brakes Cries from far away. Mysterious, creepy, and eerie sounds Tingle notes on my spine. Then I dash inside, To warmth. All monsters locked outside.

BRUCE GARRATT CADET CAMPFIRE All is dark, a red glow. Green figures dwarf the small fire. The lamp light distorts the figures, The smoke hazes the distortions. Scattered metal reflects the flow. Empty cans, Picked carcasses of a rational feast. Heavy wet boots kick at the fire Sending small red sparks shooting. Sparks light up solemn faces, The doomed conversation dies out. The fire dies out. The figures now diminish. All is dark. JOHN WARDLE SHARK Sleek and graceful, Steel blue, The killer lurks in the shadows. Motionless, he waits, Ready to kill his prey.

HURDLES Quaint looking objects No order or size, just there left like maimed dogs. BILL SLOANE TRAIN They brought their iron horse from Britain. On the blue-prints the plans were written, To build a road of steel and rail To cross the land over hill and dale. It will run from north to south they said And no man now will need to dread, For the crown has promised to pay for all; The train was named the Cannon Ball. She then moved out on her maiden run. It was dreary and cold, no sign of the sun; No one knew of her coming fate; No one knew it was getting late. As she approached the awesome hill The weather grew bleaker, and darker still. Therbridge on the gorge had weakened spans That threatened doom for their hopeful plans. The train roared on and the bridge gave out. Without so much as a fearful shout The train it fell with a deadly roar; The coaches were smashed on the valley floor. No one survived, no one could call And tell of the death of the Cannon Ball.

Feeling lower than a sunken ship, I sit here and drown my sorrows Over that moment, When she killed the butterflies. HOWARD TETLEY

STORY No time ago, but a life, a man was born into a family where he needed nothing. He became a parasite : contented to be nothing : contented to create nothing. Never to question : Never to think : And in the 32nd year of his existence, he became insane. They put him in a hospital, in the country which was blue and green and brown and gentle and still natural. The hospital was an old Victorian mansion, now converted, and quite excellent for the purpose. But the walls still spoke their renunciation. The man saw only his room. The ceiling and walls dull white. The floor carpeted light grey. A window with unbreakable glass looking out to a well kept lawn, well kept hedge, and the many pine trees could have been seen if he had cared to look. The bed had brass posts painted white. Two ventilator openings faced each other; high up in the walls where he could not reach. The door was solid with a patch of unbreakable one-way see-through glass in the middle. The doctor had said to his family, in explanation of the room, "The colour of his environment must be neutral, they must not offend his mind, or even create a distinct impression that can be twisted." It had been a long time since he had answered anyone so they spoke in front of him. But he had heard and even remembered after they had gone. But he had never understood. In a short time, the room, the mansion, the country and he, as that identity disappeared. The mind ceased nearly all function and he became the wind gathering knowledge. By the end of his first day of oblivion, a new feeling began filtering through the body and there began, a second life. At first there was only a gentle peace, but slowly it grew to hold a happiness, an understanding and an intelligence all of its own. It was only one week after the entry into oblivion that he opened his eyes. * * * * No longer did the doctors try to put him through tests or make him react to their treatments, or the old male nurse bid him, "Good morning," "good afternoon," and "good night," as he made the day's rounds. The maid still brought the food, but she never spoke for now he was completely detached. * * * * 64-73

The country he beheld was wild, the air fresh and the forest clean. The sun and grass were warm and friendly, and he knew he belonged. For a long time he stood contemplating the view of a long valley and gentle slopes coated with tall trees, with a young stream flowing clear and fast through it. He turned his eyes to the opposite slope, and through the trees smoke was rising. Then without hesitation he headed towards it. The forest was very quiet and he strained his ears and eyes to grasp everything, but only when he was at peace did he see and hear all. One end of the clearing was a cliff with caves in it, the rest was surrounded by trees. Near the caves two fires were roasting two animals. Men, women and children squatted around in the dust. "What do you want ?" "Just to live in peace," he answered. "Where do you come from ?" He pointed to the hill. "What is you name ?" "I have none." "Have some food. Sorry there isn't much." "Thank you. I don't need much." In the evening he sat talking to them and they questioned him about his life but instead of answering he talked of a way to live at peace, the necessity of love and happiness; and they sat listening for he spoke very simply. For those who understood it sounded good, his voice was gentle and soothing so nobody wanted to stop him. A man said, "You shall be Poetaster," which meant, "he who comes from nowhere." And he did not mind. They rose and went silently to the caves, a girl led him into one, warm already with people in it. On the second day at the caves the old male nurse peered through the glass and saw him talking to the people; and he listened for a long time then hurried away. The Doctor came and listened but called it a passing phase, a story from the memory, for they could not reach him. The old nurse stayed after the doctor had gone, listening then walked slowly away. A month passed. He had been accepted by the people. Now he hunted with the men, although he was not very skilful. He loved the quiet forest, the fast stream and the animals.

They killed only that which was necessary. At night all would sit around a fire, talk and tell stories. He had become their teacher on the way of life and man and many subjects. During the day one would come to him with a private problem and he became a counsellor. Slowly a respect, and more important a love for him grew. Many saw his way of peace and followed. His words spread and people came to him from other places. For he gave their life a reason and his words were quiet with wisdom. One day he prepared to leave and there was great sorrow. So he instructed them on the fulfillment of his life and theirs. So they understood, but remained sad. He followed the fast stream down slowly, deep in thought, basking in the freedom and beauty of life. He stayed that night at another village, talking till very late, with the people. The days passed and slowly be benan to realize what he was looking for and wnen he saw the cave with a spring in a hill of flowers and gentle trees he found it. * * * * The old nurse noticed the silence and was sad. He told the doctor who simply said the memory phase was over. But the old nurse could not believe it was a phase in madness. For many hours this old man had listened to the teachings on life and its ways. He had listened to the private counsellings. He had thought for a long time, and seen that it was good. He had actually tried to adopt the attitudes and actions put forward as right and found in them a strange peace. * * * * The wind would run down the hill cutting furrows in the flowers and making the gentle trees wave at the sky. The sun would spread warmth and happiness and rain would beat down replenishing, refreshing the earth. He felt at one with nature; the happiness and peace he received was whole. He felt alone with himself. One morning he awoke and saw the dull walls with ventilator openings facing each other where he could not reach. And a long low scream went out from his brain and heart and soul to his mouth. The scream rose and jerked and lost form and reared, and his eyes were still screaming when they reached him.

THE HOUSE AT THE CROSS-ROADS A man and his wife are driving along a strange country road in New England. They are going to dinner with friends, and have got lost twice. Now they are late, so the husband is driving at top speed. In spite of this, he sees a large timber house at a cross-roads. It is in bad repair and has a sign saying that a doctor lives there. The man stores this in his mind as a landmark for the trip home. Half a mile farther on, something goes wrong with the steering gear. The car crashes against a tree. The driver is unhurt, but his wife is unconscious and seriously injured. The road is a lonely one. The husband has seen no other car and few houses. Desperately, he remembers the doctor's sign half a mile back. He takes his wife in his arms and runs and walks back to the broken down dwelling. He pulls the bell, a tall, gaunt, grey-haired and unkempt man opens the door and says he is the doctor. There is no one else in the house. Together the two men carry the woman into a dusty, cluttered room, and lay her down upon an operating table. She is still unconscious. The doctor examines her with evident skill, and says that her skull is fractured. The only chance, a slim one, of saving her life is to operate at once. The husband glances round the messy room. The bottles and instruments look as if they had not been used for a long time. He hesitates, but he has no choice. His wife gets well enough to be taken to New York. There a well-known doctor examines her skull carefully. "Your wife will get well and be perfectly normal again," he says to the husband, "but I cannot understand it. Only one operation I know could have saved her. And only one surgeon ever did that operation, successfully. There is the mystery. He is now in a mental hospital somewhere in New England."

HOW McGINNIS WENT MISSING Let us cease our idle chatter, Let the tears bedew our cheek, For a man from Wangaratta Has been missing for a week. Where the roaring flooded Murray, Covered all the lower land There he started in a hurry, With a bottle in his hand. And his fate he hid forever, But the public seemed to think That he slumbered by the river, 'Neath the influence of drink. And they scarcely seemed to wonder That the river wide and deep, Never woke him from his slumber, Never stirred him from his sleep. As the crashing logs came streaming And the tumult filled the air, Then McGinnis murmured dreaming, " Tis awake in ould Kildare." So the river rose and found him Sleeping soundly by the stream. And the cruel waters drowned him Ere he wakened from his dream. And the blossom-tufted wattle, Blooming brightly on the lea, Saw McGinnis and the bottle Drifting slowly out to sea. LAURIE PEARSON

THE BALLAD OF SAM SEAD Well, it was a hot December, I remember as well as him, The year was 1953 when Sam played Jumbo Jim. The venue was a tough one, the wind was full of force. A large crowd had gathered at the Royal Holbrook course. Samuel's parents, by the clubhouse, were beside themselves with pride, but Sam was having fun, on poker machines inside. "I really haven't got a hope," Sam thought with some despair, "Jumbo Jim's a damn good pro', he'll win without a care." Sam had not been round for long, he'd never beaten par, But Jumbo had been round for years, in the city he was a star. That's why he'd been invited here to play this twosome's match. The winner to get one thousand pounds, the loser next to scratch. Jumbo Jim had just arrived, all spruced up fine and sweet, His jet black hair was slicked right back, his bow-tie chic and neat. Sam didn't have to worry here "He's just the local pro," And that's just what poor Samuel was, "But still he'd have a go." Out walked Sam, straight through the mob, in a t-shirt and some jeans. Jumbo said, "You play first, lad" and Sam said, "By all means." Sam's ball was that bright-new white, a Spalding Rocket three, All was hushed, the flies daren't move, as he placed it on his tee. With one almighty furious whack the ball sped through the air. "Three hundred yards !" a young man said, "for Sam that's truly rare." Jumbo Jim just smiled some. "Good shot son !" he said. He casually swung his driver through, he left Sam's ball for dead. Sam's second shot was quite unreal, it sliced and hit a tree, But Jumbo Jim bounced on the green to chance an eagle three. Poor Sam was blocked by trees ahead, the only way was up, He snatched a wedge, bang, over the trees, just three feet past the cup. Jumbo Jim was quite surprised but wasn't worried much, He had had ten fine holes-in-one and other flukes as such.

He gripped his putter safe and sure and lined his straight putt up, Forty feet, the putt ran straight, but still it tipped the cup. The gallery was so stunned, and Jimmy had to pause To bow his head so gracefully, to acknowledge the applause. He tapped his ball in quickly and memorized his score, While Samuel sank his putt, to also have a four. As the afternoon wore on, both players golfed so well That the crowd began to cheer them on, the city bloke as well. Although it seemed to Sam that he was in and out of strife, This certainly was, and still is now, the golf round of his life. The eighteenth hole, a short par three, was ready now to play/ Sam was still an outside chance, but still could win some way. He had to win this hole by three to win that thousand pounds, He'd played so well, he had to win in this his greatest round. Sam was feeling hot now, the sweat dripping from his brow, Jumbo Jim was feeling cool, "This kid can't beat me now!" All was quiet. Once again as Jim lined up his shot He swung, the ball took to the air, but landed in the pot. Sam was concentrating hard, he sat his ball up high, He lined it up meticulously while Jim let out a sigh. Sam grasped his club, a seven iron, put down his salad roll, He played the shot and then cried out, "My God, it's in the hole !" Jumbo Jim was shaken, he took two shots from the sand, A bogey four was the result. His was the losing hand. Now Sam was being chaired off to the nineteenth hole inside. Some night it was, they celebrated, all friends there at his side. That is how they finished there, at the Holbrook Club Any passers-by would think it was the local pub But the party, it was earned, so very well indeed, When the city bloke was beaten by the local, Samuel Sead.

THE BOAT On a night that was windless and ever so starry three Chinese sailors found a boat on a beach lodged in the sand. The boat was small and its sail was no more than a ragged sheet, but since the sailors were out of work and had been roaming the beach for what seemed weeks they decided some-what reluctantly to look at it. "What a small boat," said sailor number one. "And the sails are so ragged," remarked sailor number two. Gazing into the sky sailor number three said, "There is not a bit of wind . . ." his voice stopped there, he was going to say, "and it's so bright, stars everywhere" but that was an advantage, you had no trouble navigating when it was starry and this was certainly a very starry night. The three sailors dislodged the boat from the sand and moved it into the water. In doing so they disturbed a crab, the crab purple in the night turned and looked at the boat, a small ragged boat he thought not seaworthy . . . but as he looked his claws and face became sweet and warm, he felt at ease, water lapped cool on his purple back and sparkled. The boat moved slowly from the shore. The sailors' faces, hands and whole bodies became sweet and warm as had the crab's . . . they sat, hands on knees on knotted wood . . . moving . . . but how . . . they knew not. "So long, friend crab," said sailor number one, hand waving. "What crab ? What do you mean fellow sailor ?" sailor number three questioned. "The crab," answered sailor number one,

68-73

"on the shore, the one . . ." but he didn't see, yet he knew the crab, if he saw it again he was sure he could recognise it and . . . he sighed . . . love it. The other two sailors sighed. "Oh, that crab, we give our love, crab." The three sailors loved the crab whose presence they felt so strongly and they were sure the crab loved them . . . he did. As the sailors moved through the clear, still waters their attitude towards the small boat changed. It was still ragged but to the sailors, it floated, sailed. It was gentle . . .kind, the boat meant so much to the sailors . . . they thanked it. Yellow lions swam from white beaches to the boat as it passed, the lions and sailors smiled. Birds came and landed on the mast, the birds sang, the lions and the sailors smiled. The sea is wide but the world small, the sailors sailed the world ten or twelve times that night . . . The sun rose . . . it spread red light on a curved sea . . . it threw white stars onto the water . . . and beams of light into the faces of the animals and birds standing on the now pink beaches . . . The animals and sailors sang : "From mist there came an answer and it spoke softly. It healed our blood red wounds and breast-fed all the children. The mist turned to water and then became a sea. The people they became sailors and sailed upon the sea. Oh, the sea. Oh, the sea. and the answer the boat." MARK BELL

OUTBACK Grey strips, running on, Between green-grey expanse, Broken by black acacia; Glaring light, silvered haze, Shimmering, searing orb, Hung, malevolent in azure sky; Stumbling, weary being, Battered swag, across his back, Head retired 'neath ancient hat, Peering eyes under sweaty brow, Gnarled, stubbled visage, calloused lips. Broken teeth, yellow,—a fierce grin. Shuffling feet in battered boots, Ragged trousers, dusty to the knee. Friendly billy, dangling, clanging gently, With each tired pace and weary mile. Sunblackened wrists and arms, Knotted veins and weathered flesh, Wiry strength, hidden by seeming frailty. Onward winds the dusty, fierce track, Fine grey thread across a virgin waste. Thin twist of wind, stirring dull acacia, Wispy, corkscrew of dust and leaf, Teasing the inhospitable spinifex, Trickling in a dry ripple across the parched! land, A sinuous thread of wind among the hills of sand. CHRIS. BANFIELD

NIGHT As the sun sinks into the blazing west And the weary men wander home to their rest, The servant of Night on his thin grey mare Warns the children in bed and the birds wing to nest. For in blinding blackness and without a sound, Night saddles his stallion and from the barrow mound Rides after the pale blue pearl in the sky, With his mount of darkness and his starry hound. He rides the black air in a howling gale And sets the trees crying their ghostly wail As he calls out beasts from the deepest shade The spirits and owls along his midnight trail. Then suddenly the jet black horse stops dead As struck by an arrow of brilliant red, And his servant rides the shadowy hills Telling the cock to crow and call man from bed. ANGUS THOM MORNING The bush is serene, The mountains slowly awake, Soft pink blankets of fog Lift from the glossy lake Lying in the valley. Wallabees nudge youngsters to consciousness And chattering wrens talk of a new day. Sparkling streamlets race down Gullies playing games with trout, Kookaburras arouse the mountain air With the reveille of the treetops, The serenity is soon broken by Animals going about their business. A day has begun. STEPHEN LAIDLAW

MID-CITY BLUES FROM BLACKENED, 13th FLOOR WINDOW WITH FULL EXPOSURE Walkin' down a black asphalt street, Got the blues an' I'm draggin' my feet, Parking meters and cars, not lookin' so sweet, Paranoia drawing, with nowhere to retreat. Now I'm walkin' on down that black road, Them blues on my back sure are a heavy load, And then, all over my mind, these people here strode, Leavin' me to keep on stumbling down the road. You know, like, I just can't seem to reach the end. Maybe it's night here around the next bend, I doubt it, and anyway, then they'll just send Me right back along my lonely way again. I've got them blues, way down in my heart, Don't know where to turn, or where to start, These people 'round me, they just tear me apart, Why can't they leave me ? I'm only doing my part. Plastic lives and useless dreams, Just fall apart, right along the seams. And then they wonder at my helpless screams, And say "Who's that bum in the old blue jeans ?" They break me up, but I can't get out, They call me a freak and a useless lout, Just gettin' the blues from all this walkin' about, Think I'll pack my bags and head on south. Got to make it to the golden sands, Get out from under these depressing lands, Feel sand and water running through my hands, But I got the blues, can't remember my plans There's a road somewhere, down to the sea, That's my way, but I can't see, Black horizons, they're hasslin' me, Because I can't see, where I'm longing' to be. Wait, here's.a clinic in them dark enclaves, A gap in the gloom of this land of slaves, Some mumbling husk beside me raves, But all I can see are them poundin' waves. Them blue breakers are my blues-breaker, Got me my vision, I can reach out and take her, Seen where I'm going, got my mind together Salty breeze lifts me like wind under a feather. CHRIS BANFIELD, VI

LONELINESS He had the world to expand but shut himself in his room and wallowed in his gloom despite the helping hand. He searched for the end and found no one there, and all his despair could not bring a friend. Nobody knew what he gave to the life of men, of loneliness he died, then found company in his grave. MARTIN PERKINS

Master-in-Charge : D. W. Martin, Esq. Music Committee 1973 : C. B. Bryant, A. J. Bullen, S. Mel. Chirnside, J. A. Johnstone, D. J. Lawrence, B. J. Mellor, P. M. Whyte, A. R. Wood The House Music took the form of a House Music Festival this year with the only competitive item being a song by each of the six House Choirs. The remaining items were chosen by the Houses on the basis of available talent and the pattern established over many years to make a total of 15 minutes music for each. Most of the choir rehearsal was done in the Wednesday House Assembly time owing to the shorter break now taken for lunch. It appeared that, as a result, the not-so-musical participants made a better effort to support those who were very much involved in an event which was enjoyed by many. Once again, competent leadership won the day with Mackie conducted by Scott Chirnside followed closely by Calvert under Charles Bryant. Recitals by students and by visiting musicians included a lunchtime recital by College pianists, an evening programme of Baroque music at St. George's Church, and a two-piano recital for the whole school by the visiting American musicians Dr. C. Webb and Prof. W. Hornibrook. A two-harp recital was given in Term 3. Following the success of the 1972 trip to rehearse with the R.A.A.F. Central Band, the experiment was repeated by this year's Concert Band. Valuable experience was gained by both junior and senior players in addition to the pleasure of the event. The Concert Band has performed on several occasions, most notably the Six Schools' Concert. Two of its members, Charles Bryant and Daryl Lawrence attended the May camp of the National Music Camp Association where they gained valuable orchestral experience. Once again, a lack of competent senior string players and the difficulty of combining with Prepratory School strings has resulted in the absence of the orchestra from the musical scene.

72-73

While a smaller than usual number of students presented for A.M.E.B. Examinations this year, several have reached advanced levels. David Sutherland (Form V) completed 8th grade piano, Bruce Mellor completed AMus.A. organ, and five instrumentalists will present for H.S.C. Music. With greater personal freedom and heavier academic pressure, students who attend concerts do so out of interest rather than as an escape. Few seem able or willing to commit themselves to the ABC Subscription Series, so that we now provide a number of free seats which may be used on a once-only basis by enthusiasts and those sensible enough to try the experience. On the other hand accommodation at the annual concert with Morongo was taxed to the limit on Friday, 11th and Saturday, 12th, October, for the performances of "Messiah" Parts 1 & 3, with the concert version of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." "Messiah" occupied the greater part of the programme involving the choirs of both schools, adult soloists and orchestra. Despite a lack of tenors, and occasional hesitance on the part of the basses, balance, tone and climaxes were well managed in satisfying performances. The 170 performers in Joseph, apart from the accompanying group, were drawn entirely from Forms III and IV of both schools. Their enjoyment of the music was evident in the performances, and no doubt will encourage some to take, part in more challenging ventures in future. Finally our thanks must go to Mrs. Martin and Mr. Martin for their efforts on our behalf. The Six Schools' Concert (now including Sacred Heart Convent and St. Joseph's College) was held a week later at the Hermitage. Some of the "Messiah" and Shannon's piano quartet were repeated, while the Concert Band made its first appearance outside the school this year. While the standard of some of the music was high, the chances of this concert becoming open in future to non-performers, are small.

Many changes have taken place in the Music Staff during 1973. Mrs. J. Backhouse (formerly Miss Blowes of Morongo), and Mrs. C. Rimmer, took up many of Miss Bonney's former piano students at the Preparatory School, while Mr. Fitzgerald and later Mr. Casey taught the Senior School flautists. Miss France (violin) has been overseas for two terms, and Mr. Stahl (guitar) for one. While there is inevitably some loss brought about at the time of a change of teacher, the results suggest that overall very few students are adversely affected. Overall, we have had a busy and successful year.

The Cadet Under Officers : S. Mel. Chirnside R. P. Evans C. D. Fenner P. G. Graham G. D. Amezdroz S. G. Jewell M. V. Batt I. D. Johnston S. J. Berlyn J. R. L. Macdonald A. J. Carter J. C. McKenzie P. T. Chung J. B. Wardle The total strength of the unit was 343 and a modified pattern of last year's programme was followed. The promotion courses provided 9 C.U.O.'s, 3 W.O.'s and 13 Sergeants. The year commenced with the kitting out of 130 recruit cadets, who travelled to 23 Cadet Battalion Headquarters for this purpose, meanwhile the fourth and fifth forms were reissued with their kit. Later in February the inevitable clothing exchange and preparation of nominal rolls commenced. The Unit under Major D. D. W. Cameron was organised into four companies : " A " Company—Recruit cadets commanded by Lt. H. Baker. " B " Company—2nd year cadets commanded by Capt. C. S. Crockett. " C " Company—Specialists commanded by Capt. A. A. Grainger. H.Q. Company—Pipe Band and Medical commanded by Lt. R. S. Hunt. During April a reconnaisance was made of the proposed site of the May bivouac by the Officers and C.U.O.'s. The next parade saw the issue of the pre-camp instructions and on 4th May the unit left the College at 1.30 p.m. for the State Forest area at Skippers Dam near Enfield. Departing at this time gave minimum of daylight for erecting shelters and preparing cooking fires before the onset of darkness. Saturday and Sunday came and went as arrangements progressed well and the recruits gained some good experience for the longer camp. The bivouac went very well from the College point of view although there were some administrative problems in stores deliveries by the Army to the camp area.

74-73

Term two saw rifle drill in full swing preparatory to firing on the miniature range for recruits and the open range for senior cadets. This is one of the few real military activities still with us, but is a prerequisite to become a proficient cadet. Another reconnoitre of the May camp site was made by the O.C. and Mr. Egan to determine the area for the August camp in the same general locality. The area was ideal, but as usual, the only imponderable was the weather. It was decided to make an earlier start for camp and so buses left at 9.30 a.m. on Saturday, 18th August, which gave good time for issue of stores and bedding, erecting shelters, and making cooking fires for preparation of a meal, this was fortunate for by 5.30 p.m. rain commenced to fall. The Advance Party under Capt. Mawson had made adequate preparations and the unit settled in very comfortable conditions although spirits were dampened by the downfall. Fire lighting presented some difficulties and many learned lessons the hard way. More transport, mainly landrovers, for use within the unit was available this year and both A and B companies were able to erect a small marquee within their respective areas for emergencies which may arise due to the wet weather. Fortunately the weather improved on the Monday when there were only occasional showers, but by Tuesday the sunshine was a welcome change and spirits took an upward trend. The whole programme was re-assessed at daily conferences of the officers, C.U.O.'s and specialists, the measure of cooperation given on all sides was excellent. The safety of obstacle courses had to be checked before allowing cadets through them after the heavy rain, but by Wednesday they were declared safe. The showers were generally declared to be "beaut" and "super" thanks to the responsible specialists in the pioneers.

A further innovation for this camp was the 2 N.C.O.'s courses. No. 1 course prepared suitable recruits for junior N.C.O.'s while the No. 2 course prepared previous junior N.C.O.'s for possible battalion promotion courses at the end of the year (this the skeleton of a most important part of the unit is perpetuated while present Sgts. and W.O.'s can take W.O. or C.U.O. promotion courses respectively). The area was ideal for adventure training, wireless and compass work, and those who took part, instructor or instructed, seemed to enjoy all the facets of the specialist platoons. Night exercises involving movement of groups were not allowed but a specially planned exercise "Sounds of Night" was well received by the listeners and the credit for this goes to C.U.O.'s Chirnside, Fenner and Amezdroz. Night time entertainment was very good under the stars when the weather improved, and even training films were a welcome form of relaxation after a hard days training. Cooking competitions held within the companies helped to bring out the best menu manipulation with the issued food—the tasters enjoyed it. It is impossible in this report to credit everyone who contributed to the success of this camp but it is sufficient to say that the camp was a praiseworthy team effort. A spirit of comradeship was inculcated into the cadets due to living together, relying upon each other, yet being self reliant too.

Difficulties were faced together and overcome—many lessons were learned from others' mistakes—the majority of so called recruits are no longer "green" as a result of their efforts at this camp. This esprit de corps was shown on the penultimate day when special events had been planned. Tug-o-war competed for inter-company was won by B company from A company in the final. Other events were specialist races for Q.M. and wireless teams followed by a barbecue cooked and served by the officers and C.U.O.'s. This was no mean task feeding 356 at one fell swoop from one cooking point! However the highlight was the camp concert which, no doubt, was the climax of the camp activities. The visits made by Mr. D. W. Stott were appreciated by the cadets as was the visit by Col. Weir the Colonel of Cadets from Southern Command. The Passing Out Parade was replaced this year by a Cadet and Parent meeting with a guest speaker, a viewing of the film of the camp, and a social evening. Next year's parades will be two days per term plus the bivouac and camp. In May the unit lost the services of Lt. A. Scott Lowson who has moved to New Zealand. Mr. Scott Lowson was Adjutant and will be remembered by his pleasant Scottish accent during his visits to companies of the unit during parades last year whilst checking the rolls.

We shall also be saying goodbye to Lt. R. S. Hunt at the end of the year. He has served the Unit for a number of years, mainly in the capacity of looking after our Regimental Aid Post. Many will recall their visit to "Doc" Hunt, for a stomach ache, blistered toe, sore throat and the ailments which beset youngsters in the body or in the mind ! Good luck to him in his sojourn to the warmer climate of Queensland. Last, but not least, is the departure from our ranks of a well known personality, Capt. A. A. Grainger. He has been in the cadet unit for thirteen years. As Quartermaster, he fulfilled the numerous duties of his appointment from the old " Q " store, the site of which is now taken up by the ground staff's store near Mackie House. He could be seen every week in the Kilt store, fitting cadets with their Scottish pattern regalia; exchanging misfits and at camp keeping an eye on the food that was supplied in the mess tents from the Army Kitchens at Puckapunyal or Scout Hill. The rifle store was another of his headaches— when cadets would forgetfully leave a rifle lying against a tree in the bush and an accounting had to be made. Of late, he has been instrumental in organising the showers and the obstacle courses while he has been O.C. of the Specialist company. Our thanks and appreciation are extended to Capt. A. A. Grainger for his service to Geelong College Cadets.

Mathews As most people are aware, 1973 has seen the culmination of years of dreaming and planning in the building of the new "George Morrison Memorial Libary." The School, at last has a library which can "make available a greatly enriched block of facilities which are supporting and making possible new patterns of teaching and learning" as was expressed in an article concerning the overall result of the Commonwealth Government Grant to Secondary School libraries in the Karmel Report. The Geelong College has, for many years, been keenly aware of the vital role a large supply of library resources and the supporting services must play in the curriculum and it has been the policy of the School to build up the resources and make every possible use of them. It became painfully evident that the extent of the services and the use of the resource could no longer be effective without a new library. With the availability of the Commonwealth Grant and the help of many parents and friends of the College, a dream became a reality. The library was planned by a series of committees who assessed the reason why the school needed a library, where it should be built and what it should provide. The people who best understood these facets submitted their findings to the Architect who then was able to design the library to suit the needs of the school. The library has been in fact a stimulating and enjoyable

venture in true, co-operative planning and now after nearly a year of use, it is evident that it works and works well. Within the library there are areas in which different activities take place. These activities include silent-reading, browsing, working with all types of reference material, holding discussions and listening and viewing with special equipment. The library provides facilities which enable a boy to read and study in the way that best suits his needs and in a way that ensures the most effective use of different materials. The materials include besides books, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets, maps, charts, filmstrips, photographic slides, cassette and open reel recordings, disc recordings and videotapes. The audio-visual facilities are extensive and a carefully selected collection of educationally valuable audio-visual materials is becoming increasingly useful to the student. The use of video-taped television programmes has greatly enriched the teaching programme. The amount the library has been used throughout the year has been quite remarkable and it has been interesting to see how many people have been able to use the different facilities in the library during the same period without one causing difficulties for the others. The library is open from 8.30 a.m. until 5.30 p.m. and from 6.30 p.m. until 9 p.m. which enables boys to use it not only for work, but to follow up interests connected with their leisure pursuits. The actual moving of the library stock from the old library was an immense undertaking and we should like to thank all those people, men, women and children, who so kindly helped during their summer holidays, particularly Mrs. C. E. Harbison and family. We should also like to thank all the many kind donors of books and assure them that their gifts have been well used and enjoyed. t h e Library Council and Committees have once again helped to keep the library operating. Without their interest, support 77-73

and practical help the library would be much the poorer and it is obvious that these Council and Committee members give a lasting service to the school. Three members of the Library Council were invited to join three girls from "Korowa" C.E.G.G.S. to lead a discussion on book selection and censorship. Sponsored by the Secondary Schools Division of the Children's Book Council, Greg Matheson, Rohan MacDonald and Peter Dohnt were all highly commended both for their talks and the way in which they handled the ensuing questions. Mrs. E. R. Davies and Mrs. Cedric Carr have both given most generously of their time to help in the library and this help has been greatly appreciated.

LIBRARY

The library staff is now three in number and we were so pleased to have Miss Honman back with us again after her trip overseas. Mrs. Gibson stayed on with us, and has become the organiser and operator of the audio-visual department of the library. This audio-visual department is one of the few effective units of its type in secondary school libraries and it owes its existence to the expertise of Mr. Salen, who also keeps it as a working unit by his unending innovation and maintenance. The new George Morrison Library has proved itself already to be one of the greatest assets the school has, and one which should continue to contribute to all aspects of the school life.

FORMAL OPENING OF THE NEW GEORGE MORRISON MEMORIAL LIBRARY Dr. George Morrison was the first and foundation Headmaster of the Geelong College, being appointed in 1861 and continuing in office till his death on 15th February, 1898. As a memorial to him, a Library was built at a cost of $400, all of which was contributed by Old Collegians. It was opened on 27th May, 1899. Over the years the demand on the library's facilities has increased enormously and, with the new emphasis on the library as a Resource Centre, there was a pressing demand for a more commodious and convenient area. A planning committee of Staff members was formed to write a brief for a new library and included Mrs. Wood, Mr. Davey and Mr. Mahar, who was then Senior English Master. Other experts were consulted, and in particular Mr. Salen, whose work in the area of audio-visual and electronic equipment has been outstanding. Close co-operation between this staff committee, the Council Building Committee under the Chairmanship of Mr. Austin Gray, the Architect, Mr. Neil Everist, and the builders, Dimac-Constructions Pty. Ltd., made possible the successful completion of a fine new library. It was financed by the generous help from those who supported Project Pegasus and in addition, a valuable grant from the Commonwealth Government of about $45,000. The total cost was in the region of $125,000. The formal opening of the new George Morrison Memorial Library took place on Wednesday, 25th April, in the presence of a

large crowd of parents, friends of the school and boys. The ceremony was held in the southern quadrangle, but unfortunately rain threatened and conditions were not entirely pleasant. The Chairman of the Council, Dr. H. N. B. Wettenhall, presided and the Headmaster read a statement outlining the history of the library. The official opening was performed by Sir Thomas Ramsay, who was Chairman of the Fourth University of Victoria Investigation Committee, and whose interest in libraries is well known. In his address, Sir Thomas briefly outlined the history of libraries in Australia. The Moderator of the Presbytery of Geelong (Rev. S. J. Cooper) offered the Prayer of Dedication. After the ceremony was concluded, guests inspected the new building before they moved on to afternoon tea, which was made available on the lawns between the Library and the Refectory Block. To mark the occasion Sir Thomas Ramsay generously donated to the library several very valuable editions of early Australiana including the following : Australian Almanack and General Directory for the Year of Our Lord 1835. History of New South Wales from the Records (1889), Vols. I and II. Regulations for the Penal Settlement of Port Arthur. Extracts from the Letters and Journal of Daniel Wheeler (1889). Kerguelen Voyage (1771). Tahiti (1844). Spring in the Canterbury Settlement (1853). The Tichborne Mystery (1899).

In Charge : Mrs. E. H. Wettenhall Committee : R. P. Evans, S. G. Jewell (McArthur), D. A. C. Heard, I. R. Garratt (Morrison), J. R. L MacDonald (Calvert), G. C. Winckle (Shannon), C. S. Pinniger (Warrinn), R. I. Hope-Johnstone (Mackie) This year each House nominated a project which it would like to support for a full year. For example, Calvert gave financial assistance to The Geelong Family and Adolescent Community Centre, Morrison supported a family in Geelong through the St. Vincent de Paul Society and Warrinn helped to buy a colour television set for a particular ward at the Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital. During the course of the year, the Committee met every three or four weeks to organize door knock appeals, casual dress days, and other money raising activities. Two casual dress days were held each term and these were highly successful financially as each student wearing casual dress had to pay 20c for the "privilege." The first door-knock appeal the College supported was the Red Cross appeal on 25th March. The Social Services Committee later received a letter from Mrs. F. Clack thanking those who participated for their assistance. In July some boys from Mackie House also participated in the Salvation Army's Red Shield Appeal. Perhaps the highlights of this year were the various competitions run by different boys to raise additional Social Service funds. The first of these was an egg-throwing competition run by a committee of five boys from McArthur's fifth form. This proved not only to be a lot of fun, but was also a good exercise in organization for the boys concerned. Morrison shortly afterwards put on a concert in Morrison Hall, in which Mr. Slingo was undoubtedly the highlight. Then, on behalf of Calvert House, Rod Wade organized what every student had been waiting f o r : a "Mr. Geelong College" 80-73

contest. The contest required the entrants to drink as many cups of tea as they could in twenty minutes, the winner being the one who drank the most. The entrants were also required to run around the Morrison Hall once after every five cups. This contest proved to be the best single money-raiser this year. And for those who think they are more manly than the average Collegian—try beating 27 cups of tea in 20 minutes ! On the night of the Inter-House Cross Country runs, both Mr. Casey and Mr. Barley went out to prove that you can be both old and fit. In fact they were so confident that they bet all the other runners that if they were beaten they would pay 20c per runner to Social Services, and if the students running were beaten, they would have to pay 20c. As it turned out, a lot of students owed Social Services 20c. Again this year, a Social Service week was run at the end of August for all those boys not involved in Cadets. These have always proved of benefit to both the boys and the people of Geelong, and this year was no exception. Some of the projects undertaken were the painting and maintenance of Camp Gunn at Anglesea, the painting and maintenance of the Hostel at Torquay, a school grounds project, a woodwork project at the Prep., and the general cleaning up of an old mill site at Portarlington. Overall it has been an active and fruitful year for the Committee, and generally the school has upheld the tradition of supplying finance and labour to needy causes in Geelong and beyond. Our thanks go to Mrs. Wettenhall for helping the Committee to undertake these various activities and giving up her time to preside over meetings. R. P. EVANS

The change of leadership was announced at the beginning of the third Warden : F. W. Elliott term last year, when F. W. Elliott became Sub-Warden : A. J. Cameron the Warden, succeeding Mr. Webb, who has given many valuable years of service. Mr. Secretary : D. C. Morris Webb first became the Warden over thirty Council : years ago, during the first years of the Clarke, R. L, Emery, G. J., Hermiston, A. E., H.O.G.'s existence. Since then, with very Jenkins, P. G., Randell, D. R. few breaks, he has supervised the handwork Assistant Staff: of boys and seen their standards gradually A. Brown, Esq., R. Eagles, Esq., T. A. Egan, improve as he helped them along. Mr. Webb Esq., Mrs. J. Lee, F. White, Esq. set extremely high standards, both in his own handwork and in his supervision of the H.O.G. With the new Warden just completing his first year, it would seem that these high standards are being continued, although in a slightly different direction. HOUSE OF GUILDS

Possibly the most startling change that has been made in the H.O.G. this year is the rotation of the Warden's office into the radio room, the store into the old Warden's office and the radio room into the old store. This has enabled a much closer control of equipment housed in the store and the office. The radio room has also benefited -from the move, becoming part of the H.O.G., rather than an extra facility pushed into one corner. With this relocation, the radio club has been revitalised. There has since been many boys involved in assembling both radios and speakers of high quality.

The House of Guilds has again proved its worth as an important part of the school. This year under the direction of a new warden there have been many alterations and improvements. These changes have been inspired partly by the warden and partly by the H.O.G. Council, ultimately responsible for any decisions made about the H.O.G.

82-73

The pottery department has continued its expansion, gradually amassing more equipment and encroaching on the areas of other departments. Additions this year include a new wheel and a spray gun. The department is now operating on three different sites, the latest being the old garage south of the H.O.G. Other H.O.G. departments have been functioning well, each making minor alterations and improvements as the year progressed. Tuesday afternoon activities have been our greatest worry. The overwhelming popularity of the H.O.G. makes it almost impossible to accommodate all the boys who wish to use its facilities. The number present in the H.O.G. on one afternoon has exceeded 70 boys, which proved to be a

very unwieldy number considering the available supervision and help. Our problem has been partly solved by some masters not normally associated with the H.O.G., and by the assistance of the boys, both members of the Council and others, who have helped by donating their time and knowledge to make the afternoons a success. The H.O.G., after an initial decline in custom associated with the relocation of the Prep. School, is regaining its popularity. Indeed the number of boys using the H.O.G. is ever increasing, fulfilling the prophecies of its instigator, the late Sir Francis Rolland.

Interest in Drama increases. A variety of dramatic activities has provided opportunity for a wide range of experience for all members of the school. This year we have had a number of performances from visiting Theatre Companies including 'The Player's Caravan" who— with leading actors such as Ronald Falk and Terry Norris—presented "A History of Drama" and 'The Great Australian Historical Exhibition." The Children's Arena Theatre presented "?", and "Calico Curtain" which provides variation in presentation and content with "Theatre-in-the-round" and considerable audience participation, to a more traditional performance of selections from 'The Canterbury Tales." The Melbourne Theatre Company produced two most entertaining insights into contemporary living with "If this account is not paid" and "The All in Pollution Show." Using the magnificent setting of the School Dining Hall, "Candlelight Theatre" was presented by students and staff from the College and Morongo. Jim Rennie and his staff provided a delicious dinner and this was followed by a theatre presentation of a series of play readings based on short stories and selections from novels. It is difficult to single out particular performances, but such associations as Margaret Davidson and Mrs. Salviatore, and Tim Bartlett's "Pudding" were highlights of a very pleasant evening. At the end of the second term, the Preparatory and Senior Sections of the School, together with some students from Morongo presented—as the College Players—a more serious programme of music and readings of poetry and literature "in-the-round" in the setting of the new George Morrison Library. Whether seated around the players or looking down from the gallery, the large audiences were able to enjoy music ranging from the excellent recorder playing of Ruth Wilkinson, the musical improvisations and group singing of the Preparatory School students, to the skilled guitar work and 84-73

singing of Andrew Bullen and David Steel. The thread of historical development of the music was complemented by the readings and actions of the players through the period of Shakespeare, to the delightful characterization of Thomas Hardy, and the poetry of Dylan Thomas and T. S. Eliot. Scott Chirnside, Andrew Johnstone, Glenn Amezdroz, Penny Cohen, and Carol Blood were outstanding in their interpretation of "Romeo and Juliet" and "How Little Birds in their Nests agree," and as in "Candlelight Theatre," David Wettenhall and Bob Casey and other 'pudding eaters' provided a most enjoyable finale to an evening in which every person contributed towards its success. Many people helped in these productions, and sincere thanks and appreciation are due to all, but especially Ron Slingo for his help with booking and seating arrangements, Terry Egan for programme design, and Keith Walls and those who helped with sound and lighting. Drama workshop has been introduced to the Tuesday afternoon activities programme and increasing numbers each term show greater interest. The group in first term prepared an old favourite "Shivering Shocks" and in the final term work is being done in improvization, mime, and the various skills involved with stage craft, movement and communication. At this time a special "Carol Service" is being prepared for dramatization and performance at the end of the year, and three members of the group are joining with two girls from Morongo to read and prepare John Osborne's "Look Back in Anger." Students from the College have been able to attend the final dress rehearsals of the plays produced by the Geelong Repertory Society in the G.A.M.A. Theatre and extend their experience in such plays at "Luther," and "Waiting for Godot." Opportunities have been created in the Social Science programme for all boys to take part in some dramatic activity. So for "Drama"—there has been action— and in many ways a most encouraging year. M.

The following day was spent visiting Roseworthy Agricultural College and Salter's Winery at Angaston, before moving Eastwards into Victoria, passing the towns of Waikerie, Barmera and Berri on the Murray River. Finally, we bedded down at Werrimul alongside the Sunset Desert and west of Red Cliffs. Our next stage was to visit the Irymple Technical School Pilot Farm which proved most interesting. Lunch was taken at Mildura and in the afternoon we crossed the River Murray via Wentworth arriving at Broken Hill before darkness fell. We stayed the night at the old mining town of Silverton, eighteen miles North-West of Broken Hill in the Old Court House.

A party of twelve from the Leaving and Matriculation Classes spent nine days travelling to South Australia, North West Victoria, Broken Hill and the Riverina. From Geelong the party visited the Glen Ormiston Agricultural College followed by a brief visit to a property at Woorndoo and stayed the night at "Brierly," Willaura. The following day the group travelled through the Grampians after visiting the College bush block and inspected an olive plantation at Laharum. Passing through Horsham we had lunch at "Lake Banks" near Natimuk and then called in to "Pleasant Park," Goroke, in the afternoon. The final part of the day's trip was to "Takkarendi," north of Bordertown where we bedded for the evening. Next day we headed West and saw the A.M.P. improved country to reach the Murray River at Tailem Bend. After lunch and "running repairs" to the old ambulance at Murray Bridge, the party travelled through the Mount Lofty Ranges to enter Adelaide on the plain below. After a short stay in this fine city, we moved to Gawler and stayed at an old home for the night. 86-73

The Triple Chance open cut mine was visited the next day and Mrs. Alfonzi showed us her mineral collection. Returning to Broken Hill via some old diggings, the party then travelled to Menindee with its large water storage project. The bad weather slowed down the vehicle on the greasy roads and our arrival at Ivanhoe was quite late. The final stage of the long journey was to a sheep station thirty miles south of Ivanhoe where we slept in the shearing quarters. Due to the bad rains, we travelled via the Oxley Road to reach Hay the following midday. After lunch, we journeyed to Deniliquin where we were shown over the modern rice mill. A brief visit to a rice farm followed and after dinner at a farm we settled into the shearers' quarters at Blighty. We were shown over the rice and stock farm at Blighty in the morning, before moving eastwards towards Berrigan. Unfortunately the tail race of the old truck broke down and it had to be repaired in Finley. At Berrigan the party were shown over an interesting farm which raised cattle, sheep, sorghum, soy bean, maize, vegetables, etc. The party stayed in the farm house for the night and in the morning travelled south to Geelong via Cobram. Shepparton, Seymour and Bacchus Marsh.

Arriving at Geelong, the eight "survivors" seemed pleased to be back with the old truck. To the whole group, there was a broadening of experiences during the trip. The many types of farming, the mining, the kindness of the people we met and the back seat drivers with their instructions. It is hoped that future tours can be undertaken with this excursion as a guide line. The whole group wish to thank all the people who assisted us during our visit-cum-attack on properties in Victoria, South Australia and N.S.W. The members of the group were : Doug Gould, David Grant, David Heard, Don Henderson, Ian Herd, Andrew Hermiston, Mitchell Hooke, Murray Mountjoy, Graham Pyle, Doug Slattery, Ewan Waugh and Charles Harbison.

We wish to thank the following for their kindness : Mr. & Mrs. Sid Grant, Woorndoo; Mr. & Mrs. Murray Slattery, Willaura; Mr. Ron Schubert, Laharum; Mr. & Mrs. Cory Heard, Natimuk; Mr. & Mrs. Bob Walker, Goroke; Mr. & Mrs. Bill Waugh, Bordertown, Dr. & Mrs. John Harbison, Gawler, Mr. & Mrs. Murray Douglas, Werrimul; Mr. Ross Williams, Irymple; Mrs. Teresa Alfonzi, Broken Hill; Mr. & Mrs. John Waugh; Mr. & Mrs. Bill Hermiston; Mr. & Mrs. Don Henderson; and Mr. & Mrs. Max Pyle.

dedication, to remain much longer with us in the face of all the exciting challenges and opportunities of the present time for new educational ventures. Eltham is lucky to have attracted him, and we are sad to see him go.

DESMOND DREWITT DAVEY A Tribute from the Principal Few independent schools have the good fortune to be able to appoint as Vice-Principal (and more recently as Deputy Principal) a man who had already served for seven years as Principal of another independent school, who has now served the College for sixteen years in this key position, and is still young enough and energetic enough to be appointed the founding Headmaster of a new school, which seems likely to grow and prosper greatly under his leadership. And few Headmasters have the good fortune, as I have, to work in the closest possible harmony with such a man for nearly fourteen years, during a period of rapid change and new development. Yet such a man is Des. Davey, whom we all congratulate upon his appointment as Headmaster of Eltham College, as from 1st January next. His departure from the College will leave a mighty gap which will be hard to fill, and yet we could hardly expect such a man w i t h his vision, energy, wide sympathies and 88-73

Des. is really a remarkable man. On the one hand, he must often have seemed to both boys and his colleagues on the staff impatient with them for their failure to match his own conscientious industry and concern, and yet despite this element of intolerance of anything sloppy and inefficient, he has often shown extraordinary patience, tolerance and understanding both with the imperfections of boys, and with the differing approaches of other adults, whether staff or parents. As my deputy, he has been a model of willing and cheerful assistance. He must often have been sure he could do better, or at least have thought I was being too cautious or too indecisive. Yet having perhaps told me quite clearly what he thought he has never complained if I insisted upon doing it my way. It is certain that without his help, neither I nor the College could have achieved so smoothly the various transitions and adaptions needed to establish the new Preparatory School, build the new science laboratories, alter the Morrison Hall, reorganise the boarding houses, develop the Rolland Centre, plan and operate the new library, and in the midst of this material change modernise the whole academic programme. And all this needed to be done in a period during which almost all the senior staff, who had sustained the College for so long in the 1940's and 1950's, reached retiring age. Des. Davey provided the necessary element of continuity, without ever standing in the way of change. He and all who know him would, however, agree that a large part of his strength has been in his happy family life, and particularly in the never-failing support and involvement of his wife, Audrey. We wish them both a very happy and fruitful life at Eltham College.

"ACROSS THE OCEAN WAVE" I've just read the front page of the daily— "Arabs—Israel Fight ON," "Benefit Fees Up Again," "Inflation Spiral Continues," "Four Killed on Roads," and "Airliner Held up for 10 Hours,"—to mention just some of the headings. Everything is negative—all is dismal news with little hope of it getting better. Unfortunately, this is a "conditioner" for our thinking for the day ahead, and so attitudes become negative and, we readily find fault in most things—even the many things which are good. When one really gets down to some serioMS positive thinking, you can't really accept the fact that life in Australia can be dismal—indeed I know that at the College the very things that you have are just what many overseas students are longing for. It was 3 months all told that I spent overseas and during that time I visited nineteen schools in Britain and Hong Kong. I saw the most conservative schools which started in the late Fourteenth Century, the open area schools in Coventry, to the most progressive schools in Devon. I spoke to Headmasters, Headmistresses, staff members and students. It was not only interesting but extremely helpful to me in my role as a teacher. There were the county schools of the Croydon area to start with—well organised, efficient and yet large, then Charterhouse at Godalming in Surrey—where Baden Powell and Max Beerbohm attended. The enormous Eton whose Science section alone makes the College look small. Each of the 1200 students enjoys a single room. Then to Scotland after a week at the Science Seminar at Birmingham University. At Aberdeen, a visit to the Science Centre which seemed to create everything from plastic covered test tube racks to oscilloscopes. At Gordonstourv I taught for a week, enjoying the hospitality of the Headmaster and staff and many enjoyable discussions with students. Everyone seemed extremely creative. Then that pleasant smaller school— Strathallan in Perthshire where they were about to celebrate their great day— Robbie Burns Day. Informality seemed to be the keynote and everyone appeared to like it.

92-73

Coventry was an exercise in itself—the open area system clearly being not only effective as a teaching system, but a more likeablg approach to learning. Winchester claims the honour of Britain's oldest school established by Richard II in 1394. It seemed a great contrast to the London school I visited the day after which was some forty years old and extremely crowded. The progressive school in Devon had an extremely relaxing atmosphere about it, and everyone was on Christian-name terms—the principal, "Roy" to all the students—and smoking permitted to all, with everyone free to go into the staff room and chat. Of course this brief synopsis doesn't do justice to all the schools I visited nor to the wealth of information, techniques and attitudes I studied. Within the classroom this year I've deliberately avoided the phrase "When I was overseas . . ." because I know how it used to irritate me when others said it. Consequently there has been little discussion of my trip. How do we in Australia compare with people I met in Britain and on the Continent. Frankly we have two main faults which seemed to strike me when I first got home (i) we are terrible "knockers." I don't mean by this that we should not criticize constructively. Nobody enjoys a "yes" man—but if we can't suggest improvements tactfully why criticize at all ? (ii) We are terrible materialists. Of course a comfortable and a good quality of living comes from certain possessions—but some people are so engrossed in acquiring more and more material things in life that I just wonder if one day reality will hit them and they'll realize they haven't been "living" in the true sense of the-word at all. The College does not have the immensity of Eton, nor the adventure outlets of Gordonstoun, but I believe that many of our students possess qualities equal to the best students from both of these schools. It is unfortunate that some of our time, talk and publicity has to be focussed on the few from, the other extreme. May 1974 be a year when we will have even more students who are in that better category. R. F. SLINGO

VICTORIA RANGE HIKE, SEPTEMBER : The Victoria Range is the western wall of the Victoria valley in the Grampians and, being the farthest range from the tourist centre of Halls Gap, is probably the least visited. Six Cadets, Angus Cameron, John Eastoe, Ian Hope-Johnstone, Bob Richardson, Andrew Sutherland and Russell Trounce were detached to accompany Mr. F. W. Elliott on a walk through the area. The following are extracts from a diary kept during the six days : DAY 1 "A messy sloping camp site in banksia and scrub. We kicked out platforms for the tents and eventually had tea in the dark and light rain. Several good "billy-tipping over feet" in the party. DAY 2 Made a westerly course through complicated country. Deep rocky gullies and spurs with thick scrub which entailed reversing through using the pack as a battering ram. It was also wet. DAY 3 Porridge, grilled bacon and pancakes for breakfast. Pushed up to the main ridge and lunched on top of the first peak, enjoying the panoramas as we munched. Met a sleepy black snake on the way. We came to a pleasant saddle at about 4 p.m. but couldn't find water so pushed on to Waterworks Creek which we reached after a steep descent down scrub-covered rubble. DAY 4 Visited waterfalls on the southern tributary of Waterworks Creek. Boys practised roping down the falls and route finding. A restful afternoon cleaning, mending and cooking. John Eastoe makes a

good damper. Found I was carrying seven kilos of sugar instead of seven pounds. Departed three kilos ! DAY 5 Through scrub to the main ridge which we followed to the 800 metre peak. The boys took turns at leading and did well. A wonderful panorama but a less wonderful descent to Brown Creek through very dense scrub and finally down cliffs which gave the rope some use. The wind is rising a bit tonight. DAY 6 We found ourselves on top of a 680 metre peak looking down to McDonald Creek. The choice was to go east and then down the ridge to Victoria Point or to try our luck with McDonald Creek. As time was short we chose the latter and were soon in a maze of canyons and caves. Andrew threaded us through and we eventually came out to a steep descent down to the creek. Bob bashed through the scrub on the creek and a track appeared. Optimistically we followed it and nine miles later arrived at the Wannon Bridge near Victoria Point. We are to be picked up here tomorrow."

GOLF The entire staff gave of their talents and time to provide a wide variety of Extra Curricular Activities on Tuesday afternoons this year. An effort was made to encourage boys to take on something worthwhile and it was pleasing to see the House of Guilds in great demand and only a very small number at Film Appreciation. Some new ventures this year included Karate, Canoeing and Sailing, whilst Music, Woodwork, Chess, Drama, Golf, Squash, Agricultural Science, Psychology, Surfing, Gymnasium, Fencing, Woolclassing, and First Aid all proved popular. Towards the end of the year some boys, particularly Sixth Formers, made use of this time for extra study, and in Terms II and III the Pegasus Committee met to prepare for the publication of the magazine.

SAILING : In first term, this activity was introduced for the first time. A group of 28 boys spent many happy hours sailing in 14 different crafts ranging through International Cadets, Mirrors, Gwen 12's, Finn, Sabot, Sailfish and a dinghy used as a rescue boat. Sailing during the season proceeded smoothly and it is hoped with its reintroduction in 3rd term that handicap races will become a feature of the afternoons. A committee comprising Roger Marshallsea, Tim Layton, Peter Gallagher, and John Lindros made sure that sailing was conducted safely and that the facilities at the R.G.Y.C. were correctly used. Thanks go to Mr. Cronk who was Master-in-Charge, and to Mr. Barry Solomon, who made available a small dinghy and outboard motor for use as our crash-boat.

Master-in-Charge : A. A. Grainger, Esq. Golf is a relatively new sport in the College and slowly but surely is gaining in popularity with students at all levels. Last year there were only six regular players, this year there are twelve and a number of other players who play for perhaps one term only. Some of the more experienced players entered schoolboy tournaments, namely Murray Doak, Peter Brunswick, David Mallett, Andrew Hughes and Ian Greenhill. In the Geelong Schoolboy Championships in May, this group won by eleven strokes, David Mallett and Peter Brunswick providing the highlights by recording three and two successive birdies. In the Victorian Schoolboy Championships, also in May, the College team came second to Scotch College. This same team hope to gain further success in December, planning to enter no less than five tournaments. I hope we are successful ! Unfortunately for the keen golfers in the school we were not allowed to use the school ovals for practice. Instead, the authorities provided us with a golf net which we use whenever possible. This has been a great help in aiding the extracurricular squad to become better players. On wet days we have been fortunate enough to be able to view selected golf films, some of them being excellent. I feel we must give our thanks to Mr. Grainger, the golfing master, for the time and encouragement he gave to all the team and other players. The College golfers also wish to express their thanks to Mr. Jack Boorer and the committee of the Geelong Golf Club for arranging the use of the course. Until next year Golfers—"Just keep hitting 'em balls, partner."

KARATE 73 In recent years, the world has seen a considerable increase of interest in Karate and related martial arts. This could be attributed to the increase of bashings and violence in our streets as well as in personal fitness. I believe that it is very important for respectable citizens to be able to protect themselves against a gang of thugs, when the necessity arises. I was therefore very pleased to see Karate introduced into the College extra-curricular programme for the first time in Term II, 1972. Due to the success of this venture, Karate has been included on the sporting programme as well as the extra-curricular programme. This December, I am hopeful Neil Park and Peter Richards will be graded by Australian Kyokushinkai representatives and subsequently be promoted in rank. Perhaps in May next year we will see more students attending gradings and achieving promotion. The squad would like to express its gratitude to Mr. Barley, Mr. Stott, Mr. Tattersall, the Phys. Ed. Staff, David Herd, Stephen Jones and Richard Edgar for their most valuable co-operation and assistance. K. G. WALLS

BASKETBALL College played several games against a Y.M.C.A. Under 16A team this year. Our success and the enthusiasm engendered suggest that basketball should be included in the House Competition and as a regular school sport in the future. Those who played were : Dunn, B. W. A. (Captain), Aingimea, D. P. J. (Vice-Capt.), Cameron, A. McL., Davey, A. L., Fritz, L. B., Harding, L. J., Hobbs, D. C, Pearson, L. W., Trounce, R. H., Wood, G. C. G.C. 47 defeated Y.M.C.A. 22 at College G.C. 42 defeated Y.M.C.A. 32 at College G.C. 44 defeated Y.M.C.A. 40 at Y.M.C.A. G.C. 62 defeated Y.M.C.A. 52 at College

CRICKET Annual Match : O.G.C.A. v. 1st XL This match will be played on Wednesday, February 6th, 1974, at 10.30 a.m. Old Collegians wishing to play should contact E. B. Davies, 21 1630, or the Executive Officer, O.G.C.A., before January 26th, 1974.

ROWING COACHES : The success of the rowing season depends in part on having enthusiastic coaches. If there are any people interested in coaching crews in 1974, could they please contact the master-in-charge of rowing.

Under the master-minding of Mr. Harbison, several important experiments have been carried out on cultivated plots, which simulate a pilot experimental farm. Techniques have been developed using a checkerboard pattern. Ultimately, it will be possible to use the new computer terminal to analyse the variance of crop output caused by different treatments or different seeds. The initial experiment, performed under difficult conditions, compared watering methods, fertilizers, and different crops. The results were ambiguous, but the cabbages were delicious. The next experiment, again done largely by Graeme Pyle and Mr. Harbison, concerned a plot planted to soy beans. Graeme knew a great deal about this from back home in New South Wales, but this crop had never received much attention in Victoria. The plot was divided into 48 sections. Twelve of these were selected, using a table of random numbers to obtain a fair sample. The average production was found to be 13.9 grams per square foot. The standard deviation was then found by Andrew Sutherland, with the aid of the computer and Mr. Norman. This was 4.2 grams. Using a table of normal distribution, it was predicted that in 68 years out of 100, such a crop would produce between .416 and .774 metric tonnes per acre, with an average of .595 tonnes per acre. The accompanying diagrams by Craig McKenzie illustrate this. Mr. Harbison was quite pleased with the experiment, which he believes shows that soy beans can be successfully grown in Victoria.

The Mathematics Centre at The Geelong College has almost completed its second year of operation as a separate unit and the facilities available to mathematics students have continued to expand through this second year. A most important and increasingly useful part of this expansion has been the installation and operation of a computer terminal connected, via P.M.G. cable, to a Super Nova Mini Computer which is housed at the city site at the Gordon Institute of Technology. Much to the surprise of the many visitors to the Mathematics Centre, these computing facilities are available at the terminal 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, although full advantage has not yet been able to be taken of this aspect. All students in the senior school have access to the computer and Form III students have engaged upon a carefully prepared course that is designed to give both an appreciation of computers and their application in "outside" work, and some basic training in computer programming and data processing. As this course moves through the more senior mathematics classes in subsequent years, pupils will become more adept at the increasingly complex and subtle skill of using computer techniques generally and to more fully appreciate the commercial, industrial and scientific world of which they are being prepared to become part. Already many students, particularly at the H.S.C. level, are using this new facility to an astonishing degree and are solving problems and simulating situations that could not previously be considered within the time limitations imposed by the H.S.C. courses. It is also hoped that, in the future, with more skill and practice, students will be able to use these newly acquired programming techniques to help with mechanical routine administrative procedures in the school's operation and programme.

We express our warmest thanks to Mr. Webb for his great help as Acting Headmaster during the absence of Mr. Watson. At the beginning of the year we were able to welcome Mr. M. Brand to our teaching staff and to the resident staff in Rolland House. Mrs. Doyle was farewelled from the office during the year after serving us so well for several years. In her place we welcomed Miss Carole Schmidt and later also Mrs. Vera Booth. As the year draws to a close we must say our farewells to Miss Wilkinson and Mr. Longley. Miss Wilkinson has given excellent leadership as our Music Director. Our regret that she is leaving us is less, knowing that she will be finding so many exciting things to do in the music world overseas. Our best wishes will follow her. Mr. Longley has been part of the Prep, for a long time now. There are hosts of things that he will be remembered for . . . cricket, football, excursions, creative writing, interesting discussions, to name but a few. May you find great satisfaction in your new venture. Our thanks for all you have done for us.

PORPUNKAH EXCURSION—

This year the Second Form excursion was based on Porpunkah. The same exciting programme as in previous years was followed.

JOSEPH AND HIS AMAZING TECHNICOLOUR DREAMCOAT During the last weeks of second term the Prep, library became a reference centre for Egyptian costumes and Mrs. Torney could usually be found buried underneath yards and yards of multi-coloured hessian. Mr. Longley's room was a refuge for camels as three magnificent beasts, one pink, one blue, one gold gradually came to life, each with a very distinct character of his own. Mr. Millard seemed always attached to yards of wire or else to the grand piano, and Second Form had discovered that some were very nimble with a crochet hook as Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat took its shaggy shape. Others were very skilful

with lights, microphones and endless yards of wire whilst others painted, built and hammered. Whilst this was going on sounds of various nature could always be heard coming from Robertson Hall as Jacob and his twelve sons, Potiphar, his faithful gaolers and faithless wife, Pharoah and his resplendent guards, the hairy Ishmaelites and the many members of the Egyptian crowd sang and sang and sang. When the last Egyptian had wiped the grease-paint from his face and the last camel had been put to rest in yards of plastic it was, on reflection, all good fun, hard work but well worth all the effort.

ROLLAND HOUSE If there was to be a motto for 1973 it would surely be "Consider others first." Rolland House, staff and boys, have, by taking this as their guideline been able to enjoy the year and learn much about other people. Some highlights were : The Victoria Market, Guy Fawkes, Camp at Eumeralla, "The Concert," Billiards, Golf Balls. Now we say good-bye to Mr. Longley (Jerry) who has been a member of Rolland House staff for six years. During this time he has endeared himself to all by his deep concern for every member of the House. It is with deep regret that we say farewell, wishing him every happiness and success.

LONG SERVICE LEAVE I have been invited to write a few brief sentences concerning the months I spent overseas. I recall the intense pleasure of visiting Israel during the Easter season : discovering the sights and sounds and sacred places of Jerusalem : sailing on the Sea of Galilee, staying at a Kibbutz, touring the countryside and sensing the vitality and mission of this nation. Then comes the rememberance of Athens and sailing about the blue waters of the Mediterranean; the relaxation and sheer pleasure of staying for several weeks during the Springtime in a Swiss village looking down upon the lakes and the cities and the lush farmlands of that delightful country. There was the interest and valuable experience of visiting many different kinds of schools, especially in England, renewing friendships with Mr. & Mrs. Mackie (Tiverton), Mr. & Mrs. Pike (Petersfield), Mr. & Mrs. Keary (Hemel Hempstead), all former staff members of the Prep. Living for a number of weeks on the outskirts of London brought the opportunity to experience the magic of that great city and the enjoyment of the English countryside with its picturesque villages. Touring Scotland. Scandinavia, the countries of central Europe and Canada has left lingering memories of charming people and fascinating sights—in Florence, Rome, Vienna, Salzburg, Zurich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Paris, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver and San Francisco.

THE PIPE BAND The present Pipe Band has been active for a period of six years and shows what can be achieved by dedicated hard working students. This year however the band has lost a large number of Senior players who progressed from College to further their studies. There is a new Pipe Major, Under Officer J. C. McKenzie, and Pipe Sergeant D. Swanson with a new Drum Major, Sergeant J. Laidlaw. New pipers and drummers have been recruited and practice has started again. The drums are provided by the Cadet Organisation while the pipes are bought by the pipers themselves. The pipe tutor is now Mr. Jack Taylor who took over after Mr. Wally Hunt left. The drum tutor is Mr. Wally Douglas. It is now up to this new group of players to strive for the high standard reached by their predecessors and there is evidence that they can. This is indicated by their performances at the May Bivouac this year, the Mayors Garden Party, The Highland Games and the Passing Out Parade held in October.

EXPLORATION SOCIETY : BOGONG HIGH PLAINS The party consisted of Doug Abrecht, Eoin Barnett, Peter Cameron, David Rolland and Mike Smith. We left Geelong on Saturday, December 9, 1972, our destination being Bright, where we stayed overnight at the Rollands. On Sunday morning we set off from Stoney Creek, climbing the North West spur of Mt. Feathertop to the M.U.M.C. Hut, where we had lunch and decided to stay the night. Some of us spent the afternoon recovering from our first morning's aches and pains, whilst the others had a good look around the area, including a climb to the summit of Mt. Feathertop. Monday was a new day, everyone was feeling fit and ready to go. We left the M.U.M.C. hut at about 7.30 a.m. and headed off along the Razorback to Diamentina. From Diamentina we were given a lift by the Warden of the Mt. Hotham Alpine Reserve to Hotham Heights where we had lunch. After lunch we headed along the Lock spur and then down to Dibbens Hut at the foot of the Bogong High Plains. On Tuesday, after the steep climb onto the plains, we headed for Falls Creek via Mt. Jim, the Pretty Valley Pond and Mt. McKay. At Falls Creek we had a most welcome shower, cool drink and early night at the Kiewa Valley Ski Club. The next day took up to Spion Kopje where we had a most welcome "cool-off" in a small creek. This was preceded however, by a search for firewood, which was a very scarce commodity on the grassy high plain. All we could find were a few old roots, but when burnt they gave off a surprising amount of heat. Here also we had to make do with snow poles as tent poles. By lunch time on Thursday, we were down at the Bogong Village, from here we went back to Bright in David's ute. Back at Bright, a swim in the Ovens River, a clean up and a home-cooked meal at Rolland's was a fabulous way to end a most enjoyable five days hiking. E. A. BARNETT 111 -73

MR. T. L. MACMILLAN Thomas Lindsay Macmillan was the youngest of the four sons of Rev. Dr. T. Macmillan, a notable missionary in the New Hebrides. With his brothers, Lindsay attended Geelong College during the years of World War I. After leaving school, he attended Longernong Agricultural College and then worked in the islands of the South Pacific; particularly the New Hebrides and New Caledonia. His intense interest in and expert knowledge of bird-life were responsible for his services being sought by scientific expeditions sent out by British and American Universities and, in addition, he was for some years employed by the American Museum in connection with its ecological survey of the Southern New Hebrides. During World War II, he was in the Naval Reserve and was a coast watcher in the New Hebrides. Later, he served the Presbyterian Church on its aboriginal mission station at Kunmunya in Western Australia and assisted in its transfer to Mowanjum. When he decided to take up teaching he taught at Scots College, Perth, and Albury Grammar School before joining the Geelong College Staff in 1961. At the College he was in charge of the Agricultural Science classes and also devoted a vast amount of time and enthusiasm to the Boat Club. He used his wide experience and knowledge to foster in the boys an appreciation of nature, often taking them on country hiking trips. He was a loyal and enthusiastic member of the Old Collegians' Association. For sixty years, Geelong College meant a great deal to Lindsay Macmillan and for over ten years, prior to his retirement through failing health in 1971, he laboured happilyand effectively on its staff to encourage its senior students to develop a wide variety of interests. The College is the richer for his varied and self-denying contribution and expresses its sympathy with his widow and family. As a tribute to his memory a large number of books were donated to the Library by his former colleagues on the staff and friends.

MISS HELEN BRYANT It was with deep regret that we heard of the death on February 4th, of Miss Helen Bryant who was an invaluable member of The Geelong College Library staff from 1963 to 1968. Miss Bryant gave unstintingly of her services and in a very quiet and efficient way gave work of lasting value to the Library. To work with her was a delight and her gentleness and kindness, together with a very keen sense of humour endeared her to both the staff and boys. To her family and many friends we extend our deepest sympathy. As a small token of our regard, a book has been placed in the Library in her memory.

Master-in-Charge : R. Salen, Esq. Staff: Mrs. J. Gibson, R. Gleeson, Esq., P. Barrett, M. Batt, I. Cole, P. Jenkins, J. Lees, R. Neville, G. Smith, K. Walls This has been an exciting and exacting year for the Technical Aids Branch, with our new premises and plenty of new equipment. We moved from our previous premises behind Room P to the control centre in the new library, and have combined our handling of audio-visual equipment (or "hardware") with the distribution of tapes, filmstrips, etc. ("Software") previously housed in the old library, thus making a single focal point for the preparation and distribution of all audio-visual materials. Our fixed equipment includes the wired library carrels, which can receive up to five programmes from the control room, and a co-axial cable system to relay television programs to some classrooms. Much more emphasis however, is now being placed on individual study, and we have available for loan an array of cassette recorders, slide and filmstrip viewers, overhead projectors, etc., together with an increasing supply of software of all types. The quantity and diversity of material sometimes makes life hectic, especially as our facilities are heavily used. Mrs. Gibson is the librarian in charge of this area and in the few spare moments that she has when not actually running tapes, issuing materials or answering enquiries, is undertaking the mammoth task of cataloguing the software. She has also made great strides in coming to grips with handling the large variety of technical equipment with which she is now surrounded. In this task she has been ably and willingly assisted by our expert operators (listed above), who have never hesitated to rush to the aid of "a damsel in distress" when the occasion has required it. Our call for volunteers to man the T.A.B. at the start of the year produced such a rush that many had to be turned away, since in this operation we found that "too many culinary experts produce a soup of doubtful quality" so we decided to base our roster on a few operators who could

thus gam more experience. It is hoped that next year some of the disappointed ones can be given the chance to be among the chosen few. We extend our thanks to all our customers who were patient and understanding during some of the teething troubles that we experienced with both equipment and people. 113-73

Box 5, Geelong, 3220 'Phone (052) 21 1939 In recent years the Old Collegian pages in "Pegasus" have been discontinued and reports of matters relating to Old Collegian activities have been published in the College newsletter, "Ad Astra." This has proved a good means of communication between the Association and Old Collegians but those who are now attending the College, especially those who are in their final year, may find it valuable for "Pegasus" to record the nature and purpose of the Association. Formation and Purpose : The Old Geelong Collegians' Association began in 1901 and the original Constitution stated : The chief objects of the Association shall be : (a) to hold an annual social re-union of past Collegians;

(b) to unite and foster good fellowship among the Old Boys; (c) to promote the welfare of The Geelong College. In 1964 the Constitution of the Association was revised. The original objects were retained, and they are now stated as follows : The objects of the Association shall be : (a) to promote the welfare of The Geelong College; (b) to unite those who have attended The Geelong College as pupils and to foster good fellowship among them, and between them and the College. It will be noted that throughout the seventy-two years of the Association's history its main objects have not changed. Furthermore, these objects are observed.

115-73

HOW DOES THE ASSOCIATION— (a) Promote the welfare of The Geelong College ? The very first action taken by Old Boys to carry out this OBJECT was proposed at the inaugural meeting of the Association in 1901—that the Association should present a prize for the Dux of the College, this is still done every year by some member, usually the President, as a token of the Association's close interest in the boys at school. The Association has become the originator of large-scale operations in support of the school. Its vital role is demonstrated in such projects as the Morrison Hall, the War Memorial tablets and the World War II Memorial Wing, the Mackie Oval, and the Centenary Building Fund which helped to finance the Preparatory School. There are the memorials to "Joker" Kerr, "Bully" MacRoberts, Teddy Rankin, Perce Carter and "Maggie," expressing the affection of thousands for these rare characters. There have been gifts of portraits, scholarships, bursaries, endowments, prizes, trophies, boats and oars. Coaching, umpiring, transport and other forms of practical assistance have also been freely provided. Old Collegians subscribed more than $50,000 toward the first stage of the Rolland Centre project. Contributions by Old Boys to the current Project Pegasus Building Fund have been in excess of $170,000, during the past four years. This fund has helped to finance the library, the improvements to Morrison House and will defray part of the cost of the new Warrinn boarding house. HOW DOES THE ASSOCIATION— (b) Foster good fellowship among Old Boys ? This is done in a number of ways. A most important function held for this purpose is the Annual Old Boys' Day Re-union Dinner. It will be noted that an annual re-union was included as one of the original objects, and when the Constitution was revised it was retained as an important day in the Old Boys' calendar of Functions and Activities. Each year an invitation is sent to every Old Boy, whose

116-73

address is known, to attend the Old Boys' Day Re-union. Many Old Boys live much too far away to make this pilgrimage although a number do travel from other States each year. Two other annual functions are held. The Boat Race Ball is held on the Friday evening before Head of the River and a Dinner Dance is held in Melbourne at a time of the year announced. Attendance at these two functions is not restricted to Old Boys so members may invite their friends to join them. There are eleven regional Branches of the Association throughout Victoria and they also hold re-union functions, usually once a year. In addition to these, periodical re-union functions are held by Branches in several other States and re-union functions are held in London on special occasions. When the Constitution was revised a system of year grouping was introduced. Each Old Collegian is a member of his "year," which is reckoned as the first year in which he entered (or in theory would have entered) senior school. At the Valedictory Dinner at the end of third term a Year Chairman for that Year Group is elected and he usually selects two or three members of his year to help him keep in fairly constant contact with those in that Year Group. This system has proved an effective means of developing a spirit of fellowship among Old Boys. Year Group gatherings are organised, from time to time. The style of these gatherings varies according to the age and interests of the members concerned— barbeques, wine-bottling functions, woolshed dances and dinners being examples. It is common for a Year Group to arrange for its members to meet at a major Association function such as the Annual Re-union Dinner or a Branch Re-union. This, of course, is only a brief summary of the structure and activities of the Association. As a whole, the Association depends upon the support individual members give their appropriate groups because it is through such support that its objects will be met.
