To my mind a school is a community of families—families of present students, families of members of staff, and families of past students. Secondly, it is a "caring community." The school must be personal and vital. Every single person within the caring community, each staff member, parent or student, should try to be aware of everyone's individual differences and therefore be appreciative of each other. This idea of the school as a community—a caring family of communities, is why co-education is so important, and why it is important that the children of members of staff should be encouraged to come to the school. Today the rate of change of society is so rapid that social patterns lack stability. Young adults need every stabilizing influence that may assist then through their formative years. Any divisions of society complicates this requirement for steadiness. The school experience of boys and girls, male and female staff, together seeking each other's opinions, together interchanging ideas and theories must inevitably make for a more satisfied and stable community. The caring community is where no cloak of secrecy exists and frankness one to another is apparent. It is the type of co-educational experience that can take place. I do look forward to seeing the College members working together, playing together and spending leisure time together. This totally rounded and completed community is the particular essence of a stable school.

The one-time Senior House boarder visiting the College in search of tangible links with his youth could well be startled to find his old sitting room overun by the teaching staff. Since the old halcyon days when the staff were confined to a small back room there has been a gradual but inexorable expansion into once boy dominated areas. As well as the sitting room the staff area now contains old "Room B" and the old Morrison library area. Next year, the above-mentioned old boy will be even more startled to find young ladies legally ensconced in the old staff and Warrinn common rooms. To complement the renovations several new staff members arrived this year. Mr. Michael Murray was appointed as Vice-Principal with particular oversight of the boarding houses and the extracurricular activities in the College. Mr. David Gilbert is in charge of the Biology Department. The Mathematics Department gained Mr. James Douglass, Mr. Warren Harris and Mr. Adrian Keats. Mr. Peter Ferrier was granted twelve months leave from the Education Department to take over the teaching of Social Studies at the College. Mr. Michael Keary returned from overseas for the beginning of the year and Mr. David McCallum has been overseas on leave for most of the year. Mrs. Pat Wood joined the touring brigade during the second term and we were pleased to have Mrs. Joy Macmillan on the Library staff during Mrs. Wood's absence. Since the last issue of Pegasus, Mr. Ian HoreLacey left to take up a position with Conzinc RioTinto, where he is concerned with environmental issues, an area in which he has been deeply involved for some years. At the College he thoroughly founded the Biology Department and was in charge of the Senior Resident Group. Even before his coming to College he influenced a number of Collegians in the Quest courses.
he set about the introduction of Woodwork and Industrial Drawing to the curriculum. The growth of these subjects in the school is a tribute to his work. Mr. White is a man of many parts. In sharing his wide range of knowledge and skills with boys and staff he has always stressed the need for integrity. Many boys and staff will look back with gratitude to his association with them. We wish him and Mrs. White a happy retirement in Queensland. Mr. Barry Tattersall and his family have been an integral part of the College community and their departure to pioneer a new school, Canaan College, ends a fruitful period at this school. Mr. Tattersall is remembered by some as the coach of the first XVIII and by others as the power behind the growth of the Mathematics Department, but it is the close associations with boys, parents and staff he engendered as Housemaster of Warrinn for which he will be best remembered. To write of the work of the Reverend Bill Armstrong invites trouble, as he will probably disagree with whatever is written. Bill's enlivening wit and debating skill, his deep humanity and insight into the problems which beset any community have been a refreshing influence in the Common Room and the school in general.
Mr. Colin Denman left to joint a task force concerned with education problems in the less advantaged areas of Melbourne. In this work he is attached to La Trobe University. Mr. Reg Eagles left for Europe at the end of the first term. As "resident artist" his impact on the Art Department and House of Guilds was considerable. At the end of this year the Common Room loses three notable members. Mr. Fred White retires from teaching. When he came to College 8-74

Jamieson, Esq., A.A.S.A., A.I.B.A.
Membership: Mr. E. W. McCann resigned from the Council in February, having served since 1958 and been a member of the Building Committee for 13 years. His broad general interests in Geelong and the link he provided with the Morongo Council, of which he was Chairman, were very much appreciated. His place was filled in July by transferring Mr. A. Austin Gray, the Deputy Chairman, from the category of Old Collegian nominee, which he had filled since 1948, to Council nominee, and electing Mr. Keith Doery as the new Old Collegian member. At the Presbyterian Assembly in October, Rev. M. J. Both will retire as the representative of the Presbytery of Mortlake, and be replaced by Mr. C. S. Laidlaw, who has a son at the Preparatory School. Mr. Both has served the College well since 1960, both as a member of Council and as the father of two Old Collegians. There have been no other changes, and all members have continued their regular interest in both the monthly meetings and the various Committee activities. One meeting each year is held at the Preparatory School, and this year a new Preparatory School Committee, including two parents, has been appointed, under the Chairmanship of Mr. N. L. Davidson.
The Rev. R. Corr has appointed Vice-Chairman to assist in representing the Council in the Presbyterian Assembly. The Council/Staff dinner appears to have been the usual success. Staff: As a consequence of the departure of Mr. D. D. Davey, Mr. D. W. Stott was appointed Deputy Principal from the beginning of the year, and Mr. M. F. Murray joined the staff as VicePrincipal in May. The Librarian, Mrs. Pat Wood, was away during second term on long service leave and managed some valuable visits to a number of schools and libraries in Europe and the U.S.A. Because of the success of the experiment in the Senior School, introducing a broader approach to religious education using most members of staff and involving the replacement of the Chaplain by a trained Co-ordinator of Religious Education, the Principal was encouraged to adopt the same approach at the Preparatory School. The Council has noted with interest the appointment of Mr. R. B. Tattersall as the first Headmaster of a new resident rural independent school, Canaan College, and will follow the fortunes of the new venture with interest. The Council has also suitably recognised the valuable service for the past 12½ years of Mrs. D. Faulkner, who has now retired from her work as a boarding house matron. 9-74
Co-Education : In February, it was agreed that enrolments could be accepted for girls at all levels, boarding and day, for 1975, within the capacity of such accommodation as could be prepared in time. Detailed examination of the material and staffing needs was then commenced. The decisions now taken involve progressive enrolment of girls during the next five to ten years, building up to the total size of the College to about 1,200. The regulations covering all College scholarships and bursaries have now been extended to cover girls as well as boys. House Organisation : As a consequence of the rebuilding of Warrinn, the co-education decisions and the increasing proportion of day as against boarding enrolments, the house system will again be modified next year. Boarders will be accommodated according to form level, up to Form II at the Preparatory School, Forms III and IV in Mackie, and Forms V and VI in the new Mossgiel/ Warrinn area. Girls, and possibly day-boys requiring accommodation for a part of each week or for short periods, will be accommodated in the former Senior Resident Group area in the main College building. For games, tutorial and pastoral purposes, the Senior School will be divided into six houses, each of which will contain some boarders and some girls. The Council has approved the names Coles and Wettenhall for the two new houses required. Building Programme : The new Warrinn House building is nearing completion, and will be opened for use at the beginning of first term next year. Unfortunately the rapid inflation in building costs required a renegotiation of this contract during the year, and has delayed other building plans. To prepare for girls, and the consequent increased enrolments, a classroom and girls' common room are to be built at the Preparatory School, two classrooms and a seminar room are to be added above the Senior School library, an additional laboratory is to be equipped below the Biology laboratory, and modifications are to be made to a bathroom and common room in the main building. During the year there was an unfortunate fire, which burnt out three classrooms. These have now been restored, and fortunately the cost was covered by insurance. The incident has led to a careful review by the Council of all security arrangements.
It has been agreed that the College property in the Grampians should continue to be called "Hankelow," which is the name given to it by the Wettenhall family. Development of the camping facilities will be undertaken next year. Finance : Independent schools, and particularly those boarding schools which have set themselves a high standard over many years, are at present faced with an unsympathetic economic climate in which the serious inflation problems faced by the whole community are added to by the Australian Government's attitude to the rural sector of the economy and its denial of assistance available to other sectors of the education system to these particular schools. The Council has spent a great deal of its time examining all areas of the College finances. Despite its effort, it was necessary to impose a 20% levy on all fees for third term in order to avoid a serious deficit for the year. General: In February, the Council decided that it was time the College had an official portrait of the Principal, and commissioned Mr. Robert Hannaford, of Adelaide, to undertake the work. The portrait is now complete, and will be hung in the Morrison Hall. The Council agreed to a request that the Principal should continue in office as Chairman of the National Council of Independent Schools for another year. More recently he has also been appointed by the Victorian Government to be Chairman of the Interim Council of Deakin University, to be established in Geelong by 1979.

HEAD PREFECTS REPORT Once again the academic year has come to an end. The students of the 1974 matriculation group are at present hoping for the best possible results, and the school is filled with a healthy academic attitude. This year has been remarkably successful with regard to inter-school relationships with the inter-school sixth form sports day followed by the eight school "Prefects' Dance," both run by the College. This dance was the first of its kind and I hope that it becomes tradition in the years to come, as it was a complete success. Also the school's "Mid-Year" dance has set a high standard for next year's prefects.
The prefects and other senior boys have a great bearing each year on the younger members of the school. Their responsibilities are surprisingly extensive. Their leadership must be consistent and for the benefit of the students. If a student is appointed to the position of either school or house prefect, he must realize he is required to accept these responsibilities. He must be willing and loyal to carry out his duties to the best of his ability at all times. A student facing up to this, would not accept such a position if he was not prepared to accept the responsibility and constant demand of his own personal time. A weak minded person however would accept this appointment, but would not be prepared to accept the burden of extra responsibility for others past the point where he receives personal gain. In my opinion the "school spirit" this year is just as good as in previous years. However, I feel that in one way it has changed for the better. Not in the normal vigorous sporting attitude but in the relationship between the students of all age groups. This year much more than in previous years students in third, fourth, fifth and sixth form are being treated as equals. Leadership has come from within the students rather than from a separate body. This year many of the prefects have or will have visited the Preparatory school. This is something which should be repeated by each matriculation prefect group to keep the school as one body. Once students reach matriculation they begin to realise their capabilities are far greater and wide spread than so far experienced. From here, it is up to themselves to stretch these qualities to the extreme to do themselves justice. The Geelong College is a school of new and old buildings, of green sports fields and chalky grey blackboards, but without each and every student this is all it could ever hope to become. This school has given its students not only academic training, but also the ability to live together in a tight community with people of all personalities. Each student has had the opportunity of either reaping of the school's limitless benefits or completely ignoring what is put before him. I hope the students of future years realise these benefits and utilise them in their own way. The Geelong College is like a library of experiences and benefits, all you have to do is reach out and take them. S. J. Duff 11-74

Davidson, M. Elliston, R. Marshallsea Calvert House this year has in most cases performed extremely well under the expert guidance of Mr. Roffey, who again has done his utmost to make the House successful this year. The House welcomed a new Master to the Calvert scene in the form of Mr. Warren Harris who has already proved himself to be a great asset, especially in the sporting sphere. The Social Service activity this year was the now traditional "Mr. Geelong College" drinking competition, organised by Wally Hunt. Apart from providing great entertainment, it managed to make about $35 for the House, and also enabled the other Houses to make a total of about $200. The House this year has been able to run smoothly, with the help of the House Tutors, and with the help of the four House Prefects, thanks must also go to James Turner and Wally Hunt for the general helpfulness, which they maintained throughout the year. Calvert House has had talent which in previous years was not thoroughly tested, however this year saw the reintroduction of the House Debating Competition, with our team being made up of Bill Williams, Dale Holt, Hugh Kelso and Stuart Rosson. They all performed well to finish in place. SPORT: Calvert's sporting success this year has on the whole been quite good. Although, as in previous years, there were some weak spots. The Calvert House swimming team went into the swimming sports with great enthusiasm by all members to win. The team put up a good effort to gain 3rd place, losing out to two much stronger Houses in McArthur and Warrinn. Some good efforts were made in the younger age groups by Craig Powell in the Under 14 and Richard Kelso and Peter Jones in the Under 15 sections. Calvert can look forward to a prosperous future in the swimming field. 12-74
House cricket this year was our strongest sport winning both the Under 15 and Open competitions. The Open team led by Jamie Davidson put in a great performance, with best players being, Jamie Davidson, Jim Marendaz, Ken Jubb and Dale Holt. The Under 15 team led by Hugh Brodie can almost assure the House of being a strength in cricket in future years. The House football competition would have to have been the weakest area of the House's activities. We ended up in 5th place after soundly defeating a weakened Shannon House Team. However the Calvert team wasn't without its triers; boys like Mark Elliston, Mark Williams, Dale Holt and Roger Marshallsea gave everything to try and lift the team but were unable to do so because of the apathetic attitude of many of the other players. The Under 15 team did not seem to be bothered by a lack of interest in the game. The team performed as a whole but were unable to match the strength that some of the other Houses had in their teams. Best players in the side were the "Little Harbo" and Stephen Sutcliffe. We hope that as the younger players move up through the House the standard of the Open team will improve. Athletics this year was very pleasing in that the House managed to come 3rd behind two very strong Houses in Warrinn and Shannon. This was a surprise to many members of the House who did not have enough confidence in themselves and in our star performers, Hugh and Richard Kelso, Dale Holt and John Harbison. However if the House hadn't put up such a good effort in the Relays (fielding a team in every event for the first time this season) the House would not have performed as well as it did.

1974 can only be described as a fairly non eventful year for Mackie. Our community spirit was lacking in depth which makes it difficult to describe 1974 as a great year. But then the structure of the House, with the majority of the 6th formers over at the Senior Resident Group, has made it difficult for us to feel a full community. The administration of the House under the sincere and conscientious guidance of Mr. Davies followed egalitarian principles laid down in years past. The extra burden of Warrinn's 3rd formers tried out both the masters and house prefects. Special commenaation must go to John Cockayne and Jeff Seed who were exposed to this test without any prior experience. The assistance of Russel King, Rowan Gleeson, Chve Porritt, Paul Lishman and George Kraguljac as 3rd form supervisors was particularly helpful. The mixing of the 3rd formers helped bring the two boarding houses together. But the extra numbers meant that individual guidance given to boys in the past was more difficult to administer. The recreational facilities and "home comforts" of the House were improved quite a lot this year. Mr. Davies deserves a special vote of thanks for going to a great deal of trouble and getting the House a billiard table. It has provided hours of entertainment to many boys. The senior study became the television's exclusive property while the rec room was left to the billiards and table tennis. The new carpet in the corridor, coupled with Mrs. Oswald's posters, have taken away much of the bareness of the House's interior. The boys have been particularly grateful to Mrs. Oswald who again this year provided coffee, tea and cocoa after study. And the smooth running of the House was helped by the tremendous work of Jean, Mrs. Lester, Mrs. McNaught and Barney; making things easier for all.

Mackie struck out - independently this year and held a highly successful dance in the Rec. room. Another highlight was Peter "Chuck Berry" Neal's concert, with Mr. Davies playing tea chest, as one of the "all-star line-up." Mr. Davies also organised a square dance for the boarding houses and Morongo and all who attended were entertained by the novelty. The brightness of the Mackie community suffered this year with the loss of such personalities as Andrew James, Rick Whittle, Angus Cameron and Jock MacRae to the realms of day—boydom and beyond. They were genuinely missed from the life of Mackie. As usual, Mackie lacked something at the swimming sports. With a couple of successful individual performances and a growing enthusiasm amongst the younger members of the House, I'm sure a good time was had by all. The Open Mackie cricket team seemed invincible and we looked forward to a successful house cricket season. But our hopes were dashed when we lost to Warrinn by 40 runs. We managed to finish 2nd overall. Good individual performances were made by Angus Cameron, Rick Whittle, Peter Graham, Russell Trounce and Craig Robson, unfortunately they were rarely at the same time. In the Under 15's Mackie proved quite a capable team being runners up to Calvert. Good performances were made by Russell Walker, Norm Graham, Mark Komp, Ian Anderson, Ian Whiting and Ian Mitchell. Mackie's football success in recent years was continued this year. However there were a few poor performances with both the Under 15 and Open teams losing one game each. Generally the teams played well. This led Mackie to a good and enjoyable second in the football competition overall. Lack of interest hampered our performance in athletics. Our overall position was 5th. Paradoxically, cross country running was well supported and we managed 2nd overall. Gerald Douglas, Rick Pyle and Laurie Pearson went well in the Under 17 division, and Andrew Hughes, Andrew Sutherland and Robert Kendall put in good efforts in the Open section. The tremendous House spirit that Mackie has experienced in previous years was somehow lacking this year. Although our sporting achievements were not poor but they did suffer in areas where winning would have been a difficult job. With all the 6th formers except the prefects, over at the S.R.G. it was difficult to present a unified force.
Unfortunately the new House system next year will make it impossible for the kind of House spirit experienced in Mackie in past years to be ever created again. The College is taking great leaps forward In one area of human relationships by going co-ed. But the new House system may be a regressive step. The creation of barriers between various age groups, by placing them in separate boarding Houses, can only deprive each group of valuable understanding in human relations. The supposed benefits of having the 6th form by itself and the lower forms free of the 6th's influence have not materialized, judging from this year's experience. I hope that some of the reforms to come into the boarding system have not been made from consideration for administrative efficiency alone. 1974 is the last year this House will be both a boarding house and sporting house. Mackie has bowed out quietly.

Morrison's transition from a boarding house to a complete dayhouse in 1974 has been completed, and the enthusiasm and cohesiveness created has grown from strength to strength showing out in our sporting teams tenacity on the field and the considerable contribution made by so many in House and school activities. 18-74
The House was pleased to welcome Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Douglass at the start of the year. They, with the other Tutors, Mr. Salen, Mr. Slingo, and Mr. McCallum in Term I, have given invaluable time and support to our games and other activities. This year, the whole Sixth Form was involved in organizing some sporting team, or had some other specific responsibility. The system, initially organized by Mr. Roland, has worked efficiently and smoothly. SWIMMING The sporting year didn't open with overwhelming success for Morrison, although it did for a couple of individuals. Even though we had the Open Champion, Randall Forsyth in our midst, we could only manage last place overall. Andrew Holt and Peter Richardson were other notable performers in the Open division. We seemed strongest in the Open section, but the under age contestants performed tirelessly as well. CRICKET Our Open team played three games, all of which were "interesting/' though at times exasperating for the captain, Peter Nelson. The number of "dropped catches" in the Calvert match was astronomical. Notable exhibitions of batting were given by Nelson and "Bean" Weaver, where reflexes aren't as good as he thought! Robert Anderson and Pete Nelson took the wickets, with Peter Rooney a good all-rounder. Our team could not be accused of "dull play" with every player contributing his utmost. The Under 15 team had average success, with creditable performances by Robert Vickers-Willis, Chris Crawford and Brett Farmer. The House came fourth overall in the final placings. FOOTBALL The football season promised to be one of our fortes in the House competition, with a good strong Open team under the captaincy of Peter Rooney. History repeated itself with a draw with Warrinn, but we closely lost the resulting re-match. There were a number of "non-football players" who performed very well, notably Peter Richards, and the numerous younger members of the team supported it skilfully and fearlessly. The appalling playing conditions had a detrimental effect on the
games, but we had good victories over Shannon, Calvert and McArthur. Reminescent of last year, the climax of the season was the match against Mackie, which was a really tough game, Mackie running out eventual winners. Peter Rooney and Peter Nelson, Greg Cock, Peter Richardson, Peter Richards, David Sutherland, Stephen Thomson and Michael Kelly were the outstanding players, with the whole team contributing everything. The Under 15 team showed patches of brilliance in some of their games in which all players gave of their utmost in the poor conditions. Best players were Hayden Cock, Robert Vickers-Willis, Bret Farmer and Warren Pescud. Our overall position was third. The fierce competitiveness of our teams was tremendous to look at, and proved even more satisfying to those participating.
ATHLETICS The battle for the lower places in the House Athletics competition was close, but Morrison came a close last, after the deciding hurdles events were run. However, there were many good efforts from mainly Under age members in Tim Bracher, Robert Vickers-Willis, Chris Nelson, Hayden Cock, Robert Anderson ad John Wardle. The athletics committee have worked hard in arranging the team and the relays. The whole House participated to its utmost and the result was rather discouraging, although the relays were quite successful.
HOCKEY Under the captaincy of Andrew Cassidy, our hockey team of 3 hockey players and enthusiastic "others" took to the "field." After losing the ball a few times, in various games, we ended up with one win, two losses and two draws. The team work and determination produced some excellent play, regardless of the poor conditions. Andrew Cassidy, Leon Mitchell and John Wardle were the best players. Those participating gained a lot of enjoyment from the games, and the result was commendable, considering the number of hockey players available. At the time of writing the Cross Country Championships, the house Music, Tennis and Rowing were yet to be decided. The Social Service programme during the year has been successfully run by Ian Garratt. Two karate exhibitions and a concert were held during lunch times, with particular help from David Aingimea and Peter Richards, along with casual dress days, which helped raise funds. The money being raised is being used by the St. Vincent de Paul Society. 1974 has been a satisfying year in many ways, not only in results but in the general co-operation and responsiveness found throughout the whole House. The enthusiasm and help shown by boys and staff, particularly Mr. Roland, has been the driving force in the House and Morrison can look forward to exciting times in the future. —David Sutherland 19-74
Housemaster: C. J. Barley, Esq. House Tutors : C. S. Crockett, Esq., A. A. Grainger, Esq., Murphy, Esq., Mrs. E. H. Wettenhall House Captain and School Prefect: T. . Layton House Prefects : A. J. Cooke, D. E. Spencer, M. G. Vines Shannon may not have proven to be the most successful house in regard to inter-house competition, but we must have had the best house spirit, which is essential for a house to function. This enthusiasm has been evident throughout the year. Thanks must go to Mr. Barley for his endless support and encouragement. We were pleased to greet Mr. Grainger as a fourth house tutor. He joined Mrs. Wettenhall, Mr. Crockett and Mr. Murphy. We were sorry to see Andrew Cooke, a house prefect, leave during the year and Shannon missed his enthusiasm. David Spencer and Michael Vines have proven to be effective house prefects and eager participants whilst performing their duties. I would also like to thank the able leaders of the various activities in which Shannon has participated : swimming—Warrick Harwood, cricket— Michael Vines, football—David Spencer, hockey— Justin Hocking, rowing—Ian Johnston, music— Richard Bartlett and Greg lllingworth, and athletics—Tim Layton. These are unenviable tasks which the leaders carried out successfully. Shannon must keep on climbing the ladder of success and hopefully 1975 will be THE year. SPORT: Shannon began their sporting conquest with the inter-house swimming. We produced two individual champions in Peter Millard, U/17, and Peter Solomon, U/15. Through the efforts of these two and Warrick Harwood, Dale Millard and John Grant, Shannon managed to hold on to third place until the start of the relays. From there on, Shannon slowly drifted down to finish fifth. The house cricket season was highlighted by the open section winning its first game for a number of years. It would be untrue to say that the open was a "classy" team however our success in the game against Calvert was made possible by the determination and tremendous effort of some of our "less skilled players." In particular I refer to Phillips Baths score of 26 and the good fielding of Tim Layton and David Perkins, both of whom 20-74
took catches at critical stages in the match. However our elation after this first match was short lived as we failed to win any of our remaining games and finished last. It is interesting to note that Calvert who eventually finished equal first in the open competition suffered their only defeat at the hands of Shannon who finished last. This factor, combined with a somewhat vague and unclear system of rules which governed the competition, caused much disgust in Shannon at the conclusion of the season. Nevertheless, I would like to thank the following players who contributed in varying ways to a reasonably successful season —Michael Vines (captain), Andrew Cooke, Greg lllingworth and Bruce Powell. The Under 15 section also enjoyed little success during the season and in fact, finished equal last in their competition. The reason for this was the result of the final match to decide last and second last place ended in a tie. Again the team was handicapped by some less skilled players, but nevertheless, everyone tried to the best of their ability. Players worthy of mention were Martin Perkins (captain), Gary Preston and Robert Vines. Though not an extraordinarily successful season for the cricket teams it was probably still somewhat more profitable than previous years. The house hockey had a very hard fight and enthusiastic season. Due to the rain there was only an open team but the team Shannon fielded was very strong and equally determined. The prevailing conditions made it very difficult to play and due to the ball occasionally disappearing in the mud the standard was not at all high. In spite of this we managed to win four of the five games, suffering art unlucky loss to Warrinn. Our 9-0 win over Mackie must be a new record but even with the aid of this vital statistic, Shannon again suffered from a system. We ended up losing to Warrinn on percentage. Shannon scored thirteen goals for and only allowed three to be scored against Warrinn although only scoring three for did not concede a goal. The whole team played well and to nominate any outstanding players would be unfair to the others. When house football came around again, it found Shannon using its vast numbers of hockey players to fill positions in the side. Despite this the team functioned well if in a somewhat unorthodox manner we could only manage to record one draw and four losses. This tally is not representative of the spirit and tireless effort on behalf of the players. The team was ably led by David
Spencer and good consistant players were found in Tim Layton, Michael Vines, Andrew Burns, Richard Bartlett and Simon Taylor. Of course there are many others who played well and many thanks must go to the others who helped as goal umpires, boundary umpires, and spectators. Although in recent years Shannon has had a monopoly on sixth place in the inter-house athletics, this year we assaulted the competition with such a vast wealth of talent that we could only expect to remedy the afore-mentioned situation. Earlier in the relays, the under 15's had dominated—winning every race. The under 17's came within inches of doing likewise. With two wins and two seconds in the finals which were held during the week prior to the sports the scene was set. Through tireless efforts by all who participated and strong spectator support Shannon managed a good second. Special mentions must go to—Ross McLean, Under 15 individual champion; David Lindros, Gary Preston, Simon Taylor, under 17 individual champion; John Lindros, second in the under 17* championship; Philip Bath, Simon Gillett, Andrew Burns and aths. captain, Tim Layton. Overall we have had a varied sporting year but one enjoyed by all. Tennis : No Awards.

House Master: R. B. Tattersall, Esq. House Tutors : P. A. Cronk, Esq., E. A. Barrett, Esq., C. E. Harbison, Esq., N. R. Patchett, Esq. House Captain : A. R. Storey School Prefect: R. S. Grant House Prefects : S. A. C. Brumby, P. E. Dahlenburg, S. W. L. Jenkins, C. S. Pinniger, J. R. Stevenson 1974 has been for all those concerned with Warrinn a year of great satisfaction at the fulfilment of endeavours in every field of participation, but, more than that, a year that must surely be remembered as not only are we losing a truly great house master, but we also see the removal of Warrinn from the Inter-House sporting competition which has meant so much to the overall spirit and units of the house. Warrinn continued its pattern of growth on the sporting field as well as in the house where, despite the removal of the 3rd form, the unity has been unchanged and an even closer network of relationships has developed and helped boost spirits higher. Mr. Tattersall, in his final year, has provided us with excellent leadership as well as openly discussing matters with the boys. He moves on to be principal at a Christian Community College next year and we wish him and his wife all the best for its success. The house tutors were intact with no changes from the previous year and their continued support to the smooth running of the house was greatly appreciated. Mrs. Dale as matron has done a wonderful job always finding time to do anything for those who asked as well as faithfully preparing "the brew" of cocoa every night. She also undertook to cater for an extra large crowd when we invited our 3rd form boarders to join us of a Friday night. This gesture was instigated by Mr. Tattersall in an attempt to bring them more into the running of Warrinn and to meet both boys and masters, and was of great benefit. The "New Warrinn" was a project of interest and a topic of much discussion throughout the year. Those who are leaving the school this year are most disappointed at not having had the opportunity to live in it because as it now nears completion, it must be accredited with fulfilling all expectations. 22-74
Many of the functions held in previous years such as the post athletics barbeque, were again staged and all who attended would surely agree to their success. "The greatest" our dear Uncle Charles Harbison, organized a 4th form barbeque and social afternoon with the Hermitage girls, and it appeared to be a greater success than his previous attempt. Warrinn entered the sporting field with one goal in mind. Cock House in its final year of participation would show we were not to be put down without a fight. We started off well with a worthy second place in the swimming sports. Inspiringly led by Tony Storey, the early morning practices for the "more eager" and overall willingness among the boys paid off. The cricket gained Warrinn another second place with a good effort by the open team who finished equal first and also a good attempt by the U15 team. The U15 team although not as successful as the open, faired consistently with good performances by Dougal Morrison, Angus Waugh and Tim Walpole. The open team was led by Anthony Carter who managed a creditable 76 against McArthur with Stuie Sinclair and Ian Mitchelhill both worthy of note. Our football teams this year were very successful losing only one match and taking out the honours. The U15 team played extremely well to win all their matches. They were capably led by Stuart Bell, with Bret Amezdroz and Dougal Morrison worthy pf special note. The Open team was particularly strong, consisting of half a dozen 1st XVIII players and backed by plenty of depth. We managed to win all but one match again Mackie, which undoubtedly was the best in the series. "Spick" Amezdroz rucked well with plenty of drive around the ground from Peter Dahlenburg, Stuie Sinclair, Lloydy Walker and "Brick" Durnan. Our special thanks go to coaches, Messrs. Harbison and Cronk. Onto the hockey field (which incidentally did exist under all that mud) where we fielded a fairly talented team. At one end of the field we had such stalwarts in defence as Angus Waugh, Jimmy Hermiston and Roy Hamilton. At the other end, we saw a great effort by two non-hockey players, who, between them, scored the teams full total; Ian "the baseballer" Mitchelhill and Rob Grant the footballer. It was a great team effort and their win was well deserved.
The athletics championship was an aggregate of three areas of sport, viz. : the relays, the cross country and the athletics meeting. Warrinn as we must be approaching the boasting stage, magnificently won in all the areas. Everyone showed their willingness by full attendances at relay meetings where we continually won quite convincingly. The cross country run highlighted Warrinn's enthusiasm as, without doubt, we had the biggest turnout of any of the houses. Special mention must go to Andrew Morrison who won the U17 division and Clive Pinniger who won the Open and led Warrinn's eight point getting runners in this division to places with the first thirteen positions. The result of the athletics competition speaks for itself, with Warrinn the clear winners by a margin of nearly 100 points. It was a gallant effort by all age groups and everyone was willing to push themselves to the limit in order to gain points. To mention names for this competition would not do justice as it was truly a team effort. Praise must go to organizers Rob Grant and Tony Storey, for a job well done. Warrinn is Cock House for the second year in a row. The eagerness and determination of everyone to reach the goal of Cock House in our final year, together with the talents and ability of all the Warrinn teams, were the key factors of the House's success.

Duff The broader activities of the Boat Club has seen College crews very much a part of rowing in Victoria. This broadening of activities is much the work of Dick Morris, the coaches particularly David Ramage and Bob George and Terry Egan. The Boat Club was full of enthusiasm with a very encouraging nine eights and three fours constantly on the river. The spirit of the boys this year was intense into the Club's most successful rower's dance yet and in other activities which raised over $200 towards the new This club enthusiasm can only lead to future success. As every year the success of the club is due to many persons as well as the participation of the boys. It is to these and many other people we extend the thanks of the club members.

26-74
Providing a bit of light entertainment on the day of the heats, three boats of fit and dangerous men and women set out from the land for the annual grudge match between the "woolly humanists," the "sorry scientists" and the Professor and the bunch of "odds and ends" coxed by the Rev. Armstrong. After a fair start and a miserable challenge by the scientists and the ends, the humanities rowed leisurely but neatly to the finish line via a course mapped out scientifically by their navigator Pat. Wood. It was unfortunate that the scientists couldn't apply themselves to the problem while the odds just didn't have i t ! JUNIOR CREWS This year we managed to recruit many boys coming up from the Prep. School who had a taste of rowing in the last few weeks of 1973. Partly as a result of this, we boated crews down to the Nineth VIM and a couple of fours. The boys in these junior crews were constantly engaged in friendly rivalry each crew notching up victories against others during the season. The seventh VIM at one stage became so confident that they challenged almost any comers from the first VIM down to a race at any time over a half mile—providing they judged the outcome ! For this enthusiasm we are greatly indebted to the patient and conscientious line up of junior VIM coaches —many of whom were new this year. At the Scotch Mercantile, Barwon and in particular at the Junior Regattas, most crews scored at least one major victory. SENIOR CREWS The rowing camp before school starts has become a necessary part of the rowing season for the first two eights. This is where the fight to gain and hold crew positions begins—a fight which was to last weeks. Nevertheless, the first VIM was stabilized remarkably early and David Ramage and Bob George soon flogged plenty of fitness into both the first and second crews. Henley, the first regatta, saw the first VIM rising to the top public school crew with success in the heats and semi-finals. The following regattas, Ballarat, Barwon and Scotch Mercantile, saw the first and second VIM's continue to show great skill and fitness but with a noticeable lack of weight.
The firsts rowed in the Victorian Country Championships this year rowing under the colours of the Corio Bay Club. They performed extremely well as they did in the Australian Championships at Ballarat in Easter after the Head of the River. Other senior crews had an interesting season in part made possible by the new boat trailer. The thirds and fourths for example had a magnificent and unforgettable weekend at Lake Bellfield in the Grampians. The outdoor living on the College block was great, the weather perfect, the rowing improved remarkably, and the friendship of the locals most appreciated. The Head of the River represented a climax of much hard work and dedication—qualities not commonly found these days : After the almost traditional rowing film assembly, all crews enjoyed a magnificent send-off by the whole school. This support by the school helped make it all worthwhile. The Club had reasonable success throughout all sections—all crews finishing well up in their particular fields. Overall the school came about fifth. Success for the Geelong College is near: Many boys already with sights on next year's Head of the River are doing extensive gym work. With David Ramage again at the helm for 1975, fit boys returning have much to look forward to, because David hates losing more than the boys themselves ! —A. W. Holt (Captain of Boats)

FIRST XI Coach : E. B. Davies, Esq. Captaoin : R. H. Trounce Vice-Captain : A. J. Carter Committeemen : A. R. Wood, J. L. Davidson, P. J. Graham CAPTAIN'S REPORT There is no doubt that cricket season 1974 at the Geelong College was highlighted with excitement an dentertainment for players and spectators alike. Personally, many of the games we played this year, will remain implanted in my mind for many a year. To take a look at the record we can justify such a point. G.C. v's Carey—G.C. 1st innings 90, 2nd 5/162 v's Carey 1st innings 172, 2nd 9/78. Outright victory could have swung either way with the addition of 1 wicket and 3 runs. The third P.S. match—G.C. 1st inning 202 v's Scotch 208. A first innings defeat by the meagre total of six runs. The fifth P.S. match against St. Kevin's—G.C. 1st innings 248 v's St. Kevin's 1st innings 232. A first innings win to G.C. by 16 runs. Such "cut-throat" cricket matches made my cricketing career a delightful sport to be participating in. We couldn't have performed so well without a "team." The G.C. 1st XI was a team in the true sense. An even balanced combination of cricketing potential. As "coach" philosophized, this year's 1st XI was "different." They weren't only "different," but a great bunch of guys to be captaining. My partner, Tony Carter, was an inspiring bowler; Gum Davidson, a wicketkeeper with loads of potential—we saw this in the latter part of the season; Andrew Wood, a batsman who showed the guts and determination a good batsmen requires. Congratulations must be given to Andrew on his fine 130 compiled against St. Kevin's. Dale Holt who bowled superbly in the last two A.P.S. games. Craig Robson's admittance to the team was obviously welcomed and his partnership with Rick "Rikota" Whittle against Xavier was one of great value and fight. Billy Grahams dash"65" against Carey, Nobby Nelson's obvious potential as a capable all-rounder and so the list of 28-74
achievements go on. Every member contributed to the team's achievements. Thanks fellers for perservering with me as captain and best of luck for the future. Finally, I must mention "Coach/' alias E. B. Davies, Esq. His unfailing efforts and time under obvious strain were appreciated and welcomed. I must also thank the support from parents and friends we received. It's amazing what a bit of support can do to your confidence. I must also thank Mrs. Davies for her contribution to the "bar-b-que" and motherly care which she readily gave. I wish everyone concerned with the cricket at G.C. 74 the very best wishes for future years. COACH'S REPORT As our captain, Russell Trounce has said, it was an exciting season from start to finish and real enjoyment for players and spectators alike. Our two wins and five losses does not give a true picture of the season's result. Our object was to play cricket of high standard, but always trying to gain the best possible result. Russell Trounce and Tony Carter, captain and vice-captain, ably led the team throughout and moulded the XI into a formidable combination. Our thanks once again to our groundstaff for excellent wickets and conditions at all times. To John and Mel Chambers go our best wishes and once again our thanks for a great night at your home. As the season was action packed, I would like to briefly relate some of the highlights : Carey Match : Carey have 82 runs to gain outright victory with 12 overs to play. 9th wicket falls with one ball to play and 4 runs to get. Last batsman blocks ball. One of the most exciting matches ever seen at College. St. Kevin's Match : After a poor start, Andrew Wood scored a very patient century. College score 7/239. St. Kevin's at 5/216 look set for victory, but a brilliant caught and bowled by Peter Nelson turned the tide and the last 4 St. Kevin's wickets fall for 11 runs, our first win of the season.
Scotch Match : We lose by 6 runs in another thriller. College chasing 208 lose two batsmen through injury. Rick Whittle pulled muscle, "Nobby" Nelson cut eye (some stitches), both return to the crease. Russell Trounce 59 displays his best form for the season. With only 6 runs to get Peter Nelson square cut what looks a certain four only to see a miraculous catch taken in the gulley. Geelong Grammar Match : This was our worst defeat of the season, chasing a moderate 165, College started disastrously losing 4/12 and never recovered. Grammar requiring 21 runs for outright victory had only 2 overs to geta these runs. After many exciting incidents Grammar failed by 6 runs to achieve their target. Wesley Match : Our best win of the season. A good unbroken 9th wicket stand of 62 by Craig Robson and Dale Holt enable the College to declare at 8/213. Wesley are dismissed for 119, Jamie Davidson gave a great exhibition of wicket-keeping, catching 3 and stumping 1, a great leg side effort. Xavier Match : Xavier required an outright win to win the A.P.S. Premiership. Xavier bat first on a slightly damp wicket caused by overnight rain. Ken Jubb and Dale Holt rock Xavier and they are 3/11, however, a great stand by Lawrence and Dahlsen enable Xavier to declare at 7/188. College batsmen could not handle star Xavier bowler Warming and are dismissed for 45 and 114. Warming took 14 wickets for the match. Good batting by Rick Whittle and Craig Robson almost saved College in our second innings. We congratulate Xavier on winning the A.P.S. Premiership.

Coach : E. B. Davies, Esq. Captain : Rooney, P. D. Vice-Captain : Graham, P. J. Committee : Wood, A. R., Wood, N. C, Trounce, R. H.
After a very successful trip to Perth where we regained the C. D. Fisher Plate with good victories over Hale (W.A.) and Scotch (S.A.), plus convincing wins over Geelong Grammar in practice matches, and with the inclusion of two new boys to the school, the team felt that this year we would perform well. However, this was not to be and it was indeed disappointing not to have won one P.S. match. It may be consoling to think that we would probably have defeated the four schools we did not play, while the six schools we did play produced teams of a very high standard. Other factors contributing to our defeats were inaccurate kicking for goal at vital times, some positional weaknesses which we could not solve, and the inability of our lighter players to handle the extremely poor conditions which prevailed almost for the whole season. At times the team produced football of very high quality but were not able to sustain these efforts for four quarters. Our effort against Scotch jn the last match of the season was very commendable and provided the brilliant Scotch team with plenty of opposition. We congratulate Scotch on winning the 1974 A.P.S. premiership with an undefeated record. I would like to congratulate Peter Rooney on his captaincy; Peter was an ideal captain, his strong play was an inspiration to the team. Peter was well supported by Peter Graham and Russell Trounce who also played very well throughout. Peter Graham finished the season with three matches with the Geelong Under 19 team. One disappointing aspect this year was the lack of volunteers to take on the job of "trainers." Boys willing to do these jobs greatly assist the coach and it is hoped that this will be rectified in future years. Our congratulations go to Jim Turner, our goal umpire, on being awarded the first ever School Colour for football umpiring. During the season Jim topped the "ton" of games he has officiated. 32 - 74
Those who played were : Amezdroz, P. R., Bath, P. J., Dahlenburg, P. E., Durnan, J. C, Elliston, R, M., Emmett, P. J., Fairnie, G. G., Grant, R. S., Graham, P. J. (Vice-Captain), Gubbins, D. M , Holt, D. M., Hope-Johnstone, R. I., MacLeod, J., Mulligan, M. N., Nelson, P. J., Peter, W. D., Richardson, P. W., Robson, C, Rooney, P. D. (Captain), Scott, S. W., Sinclair, S. A., Spencer, D. E., Sutherland, A. L, Taylor, S. M., Trounce, R. H., Walpole, R. P., Wood, A. R., Wood, N. C. FIRST .P.S. MATCH The Geelong College v Brighton Grammar at College. This match was played in ideal conditions and College looked forward to a first up victory. Brighton, however, produced a very good team and matched College in every department of the game. College probably lost the match early in the game when they allowed Brighton the luxury of a 6 goal lead. College fought back strongly to almost level the scores, but Brighton rallied and were able to hold off College and secure a 22 point victory. Brighton won all day in the key positions of Centre Half Back, Centre and Centre Half Forward, they also held the ascendancy in the air. Final Score :
G.C. 15-11 : 101 B.G.S. 19-9 : 123 Goal Scorers : Taylor (5), Trounce (3), N. Wood (2), Robson (3), MacLeod (1), Amezdroz (1) Best Players : Taylor, Durnan, Rooney, Graham, Dahlenburg, Trounce, Robson. SECOND P.S. MATCH Geelong Colleve v Caulfield Grammar School at Caulfield. This match was played in very difficult conditions with a strong wind blowing straight down the ground and frequent rain squalls adding to the discomfort of the players and spectators. College had the wind in the first quarter and scored 5-7 to Caulfield's 4 points. Caulfield used the wind well and at half time were 4 points up. College virtually lost the game in the third quarter when Caulfield actually outscored College to have a handy lead and the wind assistance in the last quarter. This proved to be a winning lead and Caulfield were not troubled to win by 33
points. College played their best football in the last term but this was far too late. Caulfield adapted themselves better than College and had a far more even team than College, who had many players beaten on the day, especially roving. Final Scores : G.C. 10-11 : 71 C.G.S. 15-14 : 104 Goal scorers : Taylor (7), Graham (1), MacLeod (1), A. Wood
(D Best Players : Taylor, Rooney, Graham, Dahlenburg, Nelson. FOURTH P.S. MATCH Geelong College v Melbourne Grammar at College. The match commenced at a terrific pace with College playing their best football for the year. Rooney, Robson and N. Wood showing great form in the air. In a great exhibition of football, College led by a handy 14 points at half time. However the third term saw Grammar getting possession of the ball from the centre and with a burst of scoring added 5 goals in just about as many minutes, and had a lead of 12 points at % time. The last Vi saw the College team in a great fight back and with skilled and determined play peppered the M.G.S. goal. However, a succession of points proved to be the difference between winning and losing. A tally of 1-6 for the quarter was not good enough to pass Grammar who ran out winners by 4 points. This match was judged by a large crowd of supporters, especially the "Old Boys", as one of the best seen at College for many years. Final Scores : G.C. 10-12 : 72 M.G.S. 13-8 : 86 Goal Scorers : Gubbins (3), N. Wood (2), Trounce (2), Taylor (1), A Wood (1), Amezdroz (1) Best Players : Rooney, Robson, Holt, Trounce, Nelson, N. Wood, Gubbins. FIFTH P.S. MATCH Geelong College v Carey at Bulleen Match played in very heavy conditions. College began well with Robson winning to ruck play and enabling our small men to get the ball quickly to the forward line, this resulted in 3 quick goals. Carey however fought back and assisted by some foolish free kicks, were able to come back and lead by 3 points at quarter time. From this point onward, the heavier and more skilful Carey team gradually built up a winning score and at three-quarter time led by 21 points, which was a commanding lead considering the extremely muddy conditions. College began the last quarter with determination, but our lighter forwards were easily brushed aside and Carey were able to keep a constant pressure on the College back line. College were unable to withstand this pressure and Carey scored goals with comparitive ease, scoring 4-5 to College nil. Final Scores : G.C. 4-5 : 29 Carey 11-13 : 73 Goal Scorers : Richardson, Taylor, Robson, Bath (1 each) Best Players : Rooney, Nelson, Trounce, Graham, N. Wood, Hope-Johnstone.
Goal Scorers : Amezdroz (2), Trounce (1) Best Players : Rooney, Trounce, Dahlenburg, Robson, Amazdroz. SEVENTH P.S. MATCH Geelong College v Scotch College at Scotch. Condition : very good with occasional showers. College opened the game with great determination, good goals by Trounce and A. Wood enabled the College to get away to a good start. However, some loose back line play brought Scotch some goals and were in the lead by 3 points at quarter time. The second quarter saw the very powerful Scotch team get into stride and with good team work and accurate kicking scored 6-2 to College's 4 points. After half time College lifted their game and although lacking the class of the opposition, were able to score regularly. Various positional changes also seemed to help and although Scotch still were masters of the situation the College XVIII fought the game out extremely well. Scotch undefeated for the season were very strong all over the field and were undoubtedly the best team seen for years in A.P.S. football. We congratulate them on their premiership. Final Scores : G.C. 9-7 : 61 S.C. 19-13 : 127 Goal Scorers : MacLeod (3), Trounce (2), A. Wood (2), Amezdroz (1), Robson (1) Best Players : Trounce, Rooney, Holt, Robson, MacLeod, A. Wood. SIXTH P.S. MATCH Geelong College v Haileybury College at College. Weather very poor, ground extremely heavy, very windy. Haileybury elected to kick with the wind and were quickly into their stride scoring 3 quick goals. College put an extra man in defence, but Haileybury were able to score 5-4 for the quarter. College had two opportunities to score 2 goals but poor kicking resulted in only 1 point. In the second quarter a violent rain storm hampered the College effort and at half time were down by 13 points. College held Haileybury very well in the third quarter and managed only 8 points to the College's nil. At three-quarter time College were 21 points in arrears and with the advantage of the wind looked to have a chance of victory. College opened the quarter very determined, but could only manage points instead of goals. Haileybury were able to close up the game very effectively and held College to only 3 points for the quarter to win the game with a 19 point victory. An interesting feature of this match was that Haileybury scored only 1-4 after quarter time, and only 11 points were scored by both teams after half time. Final Scores : G.C. 3-7 : 25 Haileybury 6-8 : 44 ANNUAL FOOTBALL CARNIVAL AT HALE SCHOOL, PERTH This year's party who journeyed to Perth consisted of Mr. E. B. Davies (coach) and Mrs. Davies, Mr. R. J. Casey (manager), 22 players and one boy
who came along for a holiday. Peter Rooney led the team and Russell Trounce was his deputy. Perth as usual turned on plenty of hospitality and a wonderful time was had by all, it was indeed good to renew old acquaintances, especially those who have been part of this carnival since its inception 10 years ago. Our team was a strong one and were able to defeat both Scotch and Hale, thereby bring back the C. D. Fisher Plate to Geelong once again. Scores : G. C. 25-9 defeated Scotch (S.A.) 4-7 Hale 13-8 defeated Scotch 8-12 G.C. 15-19 defeated Hale 5-7 "ALL STAR" TEAM Ten G.C. players were named in this team. They were : Peter Rooney (ruck), Russell Trounce (rover), Peter Graham (centre half back), Dale Holt (wing), Simon Taylor (centre), Peter Amezdroz (centre half forward), John Durnan (half forward flank), David Gubbins (rover), Peter Dahlenburg (19th man), Craig Robson (full forward). Our team wishes to thank Mr. Ross Yeats and others who presented trophies. These were much appreciated. 2nd XVIII FOOTBALL C. E. Harbison, Esq. (Coach) Brumby, S. A. C, Carter, A. J., Elliston, R.

Umpiring at College has always been a situation of too many games to be covered and not enough boys to supervise them. This year was no exception, yet the umpiring squad managed to cope and maintain a high standard throughout the season. Amongst the games for which we were responsible, were central umpires for all age groups, except the firsts; boundary umpires for all age groups, including the firsts; and both central and boundary umpires for house matches. Central, Boundary and Goal umpiring are all thankless tasks which are as essential to the game as is the football. This year the General Games Committee saw fit to award School Umpiring Colours to a boy who displays skill and service to football as an umpire. Colours were awarded to Tim Bartlett and James Turner. Tim did well to field umpire for more than five Open A.P.S. Matches during the season. James Turner has waved the flags for 106 matches, including 13 First XVIII matches, 2 O.G.C.A. Matches, as well as many House matches and practice matches. Jim's service to the school as a goal umpire has been invaluable and he deserves both congratulations and thanks. Other boys who have umpired this year included Andrew Robb, Robert Olliff and John Lees. Several Old Boys including Geoff Winckle and Hugh Seward also came back to help. Members of staff also assisted, and to those and many others, we give our thanks. We must thank in particular the master in charge, Mr. Roffey and also Mr. Slingo for their assistance and guidance. The umpiring squad is a valuable service to the school and cannot afford to become run down. It is hoped that increased enthusiasm will be shown for umpiring in the future and the high standards set in the past maintained. H. J. N. Lees

Geelong College are the Geelong Baseball Association's Under 16 Premiers for 1974. This is the first junior premiership that the College has ever won. Twenty boys played baseball this year and the success was largely due to the enthusiasm and hard work of every player. College won eleven of the twelve home-and-home games to finish on top of the ladder, and then defeated the Diamond Club in the second semi-final and the Grand Final. The Grand Final was a thrilling game before a large crowd. College was behind 6 runs to nil after two innings but fought back to level the score at 6 all when the final innings was played. After two extra innings College scored three runs to run out eventual winners, 9 runs to 6. Ian Mitchelhill, the College pitcher, was rated best and fairest under 16 player for the year, and Peter Dunn, the College catcher, was placed third. Simon Mann, Noel Graham and Michael Vines were playing for the first time in 1974, and became a very strong infield combination. Clive Amery and Gary Van Someren had played in previous years and their experience was most valuable. Others who played were Philip Bolton, Martin Perkins, Ian Mackay, Barry Deenick, David Williamson, Philip Hiddleston and Andrew Egan. The team was coached by Mr. R. W. Seaton.
The season was characterized by a good team spirit generated by enthusiasm, a willingness to train hard and a realisation that every member of the team was equally important to any success.
This year, groups of boys travelled to certain of the cross-country meetings organized by the Melbourne schools. These gatherings were, without exception organised, and the courses were enjoyable although usually very testing. In most races, there were between 150 and 200 competitors, reflecting the interest taken in cross-country as a winter sport.
The first meeting was at Wattle Park, Box Hill, organized by Camberwell G.S. This was followed by meetings arranged by Geelong G.S., St. Kevins, Scotch, and finally Melbourne G.S. Best performances were by Hugh Kelso, Robert Barnes in the Open division, and by Alex Finlay, Richard Kelso, John McKenzie and Richard Dennis in the Under 16 Division,

Master-in-charge : M. B. Keary, Esq. Committee : S. A. C. Brumby (Captain), G. A. Bell, G. R. Cowan, J. C. McKenzie, W. Spratt As usual a large number of boys chose tennis as their sport in first term. Fortunately we were again able to use the Geelong Lawn Tennis Club courts for practice in the afternoons and also for the First team's matches on Saturdays. The Firsts were not as successful as last year, having lost seven players from the 1973 team. However the younger players in the Firsts, show considerable promise, which, together with good performances in the seconds and Under Fifteen A Teams augurs well for the future. For the fourth time Geoff Cowan represented the school in an A.P.S. team, this time the Firsts, in the annual match against the A.G.S. David Osborne and Chris Crawford also brought credit to the school by being selected to play in the Under Fifteen A.P.S. team. Several social matches were played in first term with Morongo and the Hermitage. In third term a most enjoyable mixed doubles tournament with the Hermitage was held : after two closely fought semi-finals Russell Walker and Philippa Noble emerged the victors in the final. The annual staff versus students match, played this year against the first team only, was closely fought and resulted in a narrow victory for the staff. The school tournaments again attracted a large field. Geoff Cowan had a fairly easy passage through the open singles to victory for the second time. He also paired with Simon Brumby to win the open doubles. The thanks of all players go to the coaches of the various teams, to Mr. Ingham who supervised the practice of those who did not play in teams, and to Mr. Don Cameron whose coaching before school in the mornings and on Tuesday afternoons is proving popular and valuable. SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIPS Open Singles : Cowan, G. R. defeated MacLeod, J. Under 15 Singles : Witcombe, G. F. defeated Osborne, D. C. Open Doubles : Cowan, G. R. & Brumby, S. A. C. defeated Amezdroz, P. R. & Walker, L. A. 40-74
HOUSE TENNIS The House Tennis Competition was dominated by Calvert, both of whose open pairs—Simon Brumby and Tony Carter as first pair and Lloyd Walker and Peter Amezdroz as second p a i r were undefeated. There was close competition however for second place : McArthur reigned the strongest contender after defeating Warrinn, but was unexpectedly beaten by Mackie on the last night, thus enabling Warrinn to gain second place by a narrow margin. Results : 1. Calvert—5 wins, 13 rubbers 2. Warrinn—3 wins, 11 rubbers 3. McArthur—3 wins, 10 rubbers 4. Mackie—3 wins, 6 rubbers 5. Morrison—1 win, 4 rubbers 6. Shannon—0 wins, 1 rubber

"Gee Coach, how can we train out there ? It's raining cats n' dogs, it's about ten degrees below n' the oval's six inches under water, and Coach I've got a lousy cold !" "Shuddup and put your flippers back on, it's all in your mind !" "All in me mind, heck, anyone'd think I had water on the brain !" 1974 was a very wet year. Apart from the incredibly bad weather, factors which hampered the organization of the Aths. season were : 1. Injuries and soreness through lack of preseason training. "She's right Coach, I had a bewdy September hoi. at Surfers, trained on late nights, carbohydrates and chicks. Give us a couple of days n' this torn hamstring'll be as good as new !" 2. Lack of dedication and perserverence in training. "Do I have to turn out on Saturday Coach ? The waves are up at Guvo's and I'm going to a 21st on Fridee night." "Not another 800, I've already done four this year!" 3. House Relays Competition, though a reasonably successful venture, left great holes in attempts to co-ordinate training for the A.P.S. squad on a regular basis. 4. General intertia among good prospects. Year after year, coaches despair at athletic talent being wasted. "Aths. is a drag ! Who wants to run round a rotten aths. track. Anyhow, all athletes are . . ." College again competed at small meetings at Scotch and Haileybury (Mentone) and the athletes undoubtedly gained valuable experience from these pleasant outings. 42-74
"Hey Coach, I came second in the poie-vault and first in Javelin !" "What about the ruddy hurdles ?" "Aw, missed the start, took too long putting on me spikes." The Inter-House Sports held on Saturday, 12th October were a success, even though heavy showers marred proceedings. "Pity yer can't screw footy stops into yer spikes !" Warrinn won, though it was extremely encouraging to see challenges coming from the Day Houses, Shannon proving to be a formidable force throughout the day. Congratulations are due to the following Individual Champions : Open, Hugh Kelso; U17 Simon Taylor; U16 John Harbison; U15 Ross McLean and Peter Graham on Field Games. The Quadrangular Sports, held at Corio, proved to be a keen tussle between G.G.S. and ourselves. Grammar finished on top. Again, this meeting provided further experience for the A.P.S. Squad. College gained 14 places in First Division Finals at the A.P.S. Combined Sports Heats at Olympic Park on Wednesday, 23rd October. This was our best effort to date. "Hell, you should have seen Jabber go in the second lap of the 800—proverbial dose of salts !" We were all heartened by the team's efforts at the A.P.S. Finals on Saturday, 26th October. On the bus the Coach said he would not be happy with less than 250 points. With 2441/2 points at the end of the day, he could just about raise a smile. The team came 5th overall, the best ever performance by College, and all who were part of the effort are to be congratulated for the "blood, sweat and tears." Memorable performances were many, but Tim Bracher, Ian Guyett, and Mai Robertson's first places were most commendable, and John Harbison's 800m in which he came second also rates highly. Finally, thanks must go to Stuart Rankin and his ground-staff who battled the elements, and cheerfully produced a track from a quagmire. "Ruddy rain never stops !" "Yair, it's been a wet year!"

SONNET A mass of blue, rolling, Increasing, Giving a lift to any passer by Coming closer mile by mile Waiting for no-one just running by Climbing to enormous height—never ceasing. For the sea folk there's no trial Gaining speed, blue reach high— King of all sea just running by. Till such height over balance Falling down with tremendous thud Blue turn white with foam a'cover Grey of sand changing colour like mud. The king is dead, no chance of recover All graces over no longer shall he dance. — H . Cameron
SONNET No one nothing Someone's thought Am I only in a dream of something Something to be traded and bought. If killed in some accident Will any person stop to mourn Or any creature stop to lament Does the dream carry on ? Maybe an ant to be stood on Then a part of the earth For a plant to thrive on Or am I a president without time for peace or mirth. Whatever my role in life might be Nature and seclusion will be the life for me. —Tim Mulligan
MY SONNET Whenever I'm home and feeling bored With nothing to do, but to just sit around, I always like to think of the times in the past Of the rides that I did and really enjoyed. For this feeling is so incredible, just unreal It can't be imagined, it has to be experienced. With shirt off, riding through the wind— Sun shining, feeling fresh and free. Nothing to worry about, the track in front Just humming down the brown earth, thinking If ever to fall off, well—not to worry, it's all in the fun To try more and more exciting stunts. To ride my bike, is the real, feeling, breathtaking This can't end for me, it is my scene. —Hayden Cock

EXISTENCE The fresh untested seedling burst forth with great zest, From its warm, rich womb of darkness, Into the tender breeze, gentle sun, soft drizzle ! It has yet to feel, The hurricanes, the scorching sun of noon, harsh whipping rain With the relentless push of time, Accumulates the leaves and branches. Searching around, Like the frantic waving of an antenna. The experienced leaves wither, The branches cracked and dry. They fall and turn to dust, But it knows it owes its birth from earth, Where it returns. What guides life ? Does nature exist by itself, Is nature bound to God, An instrument of the Lord. The intricate pattern of the leaves and branches, The mystery of its cells, its life Photosynthesis that sustains life To whom do we owe them ? Between God and man, There is both distance and nearness. The tree is the soil—the soil is the tree. —Benjamin Ong
A THOUGHT FOR TOMORROW Recently in a business office I watched a chief cashier produce an old receipt from his files with a flourish of proud triumph. "There you are," he said, "that's system. Funny, though," he added reflectively, "I always file away the boss's receipts so methodically but Mm hopeless with my own. At home they're all over the place." He seemed to take a sorrowful pleasure in this Jekyll and Hyde picture of himself, wagging his head in perplexity over the man who could be so meticulously careful of his employer's interests, so careless of his own. I, who always thought of him as the kind who would file away receipts under any and every circumstance as naturally as a flea bites, was considerably surprised. Although I doubt if one ought to be surprised. Isn't it just another instance of the truth which we spend so much of our lives learning that the last person we know how to govern is ourselves. Under the pressure of necessity in the guise of an exigent employer, the fear of losing a valued j6b, we are forced into a disciplined activity which produces work of a higher level than anything we do for ourselves. Yet how many times have we thought critically : "If only I was my own master I'd soon show them the way that job should be done !" * * * * But do we ? Aye, there's the rub. When there's no one to keep us up to scratch it's so easy to get slack over the little things, and so devastatingly easy to put things off till tomorrow. Oh that tomorrow ! What a lifetime we spend waiting for it. Today we are a bit off colour, it is too cold, or too hot, we have had too many interruptions, anything or everything is good enough excuse for not doing a thing well or not doing it at all. Tomorrow, we assure ourselves, everything will be different. Deliberately shutting our eyes to the fact that when tomorrow comes the same old pattern Will repeat itself. It is a terrifying thought how much we live in the future, always with some dream beckoning to us out of the mist. There are few people who have the strength of character to use each day as it passes to its full value. The men who do so are the men who make something of their lives, the men who set themselves an objective to be, say, a first-class craftsman, and then devote their energies, patiently and perseveringly to acquiring the necessary skill. If a man has to do that kind of thing in his own time, it often means forcing himself into activity when all his desire is to relax in a comfortable armchair and listen to the radio. Not but what there are times when we need to relax. No one can live his life at a constant stretch without danger of cracking. But not many of us are in danger of
that. The tendency is all the other way. We have pleasant pipe dreams of all the things we are going to do. But there's always tomorrow. Till the day comes, perhaps sooner than we know, all the things we have failed to do, leaving our lives so much emptier than they need have been ? Shall we care about them then ? One must needs think so. Always to have felt capable of so much and to have achieved so little ! That urge for creation implanted in man is one which, unless we do something to satisfy it, leaves us feeling strangely unfulfilled. It is extraordinary, really, that urge which hounds us on to try our hands as authors, artists, musicians, craftsmen, yet none of it can come to fruition unless we work hard to cultivate that particular skill, and keep on persistently cultivating it. There is nothing more startling than the way one's powers atrophy if they are not used. One quite trivial instance brought it home to me last summer. Having as a youngster done quite a bit of sketching in water colours, I took it into my head during my summer holiday to try my hand again. I expected to fumble at first, without doubting that I would soon get the "knack" back. But, alas, the years that had rolled between ! My clumsy fingers refused to reproduce on paper the scene of my first and—as it proved—only attempt. Perspective, proportions, were all completely out, and whereas once upon a time I would very soon have produced a recognisable result, what I did manage to produce was a mess. To make anything at all of the business would have meant hard work, going back right to the beginning, learning to sketch all over again with fingers now far less agile, and I gave it up, there being far too many other things in my life these days. The fact is that a skill, which takes time and patience to acquire, can quite easily be lost unless we continue to exercise it. Anything in the nature of creative work which we feel we have it in us to accomplish—and who does not—demands even more than the knowing how. It demands steady and persistent cultivation, a steady discipline of ourselves, the reward being not only that we keep our interests and activities alive and strong, but that we satisfy in some measure that sense of destiny, that unleashing of the powers within us which otherwise, like caged wild birds, will languish and die. And it is the only way for living men. "Leave me to my repose," said Hazlitt, "is the motto of the sleeping and the dead." —F. White

She hung his picture from the tree and looked into its making. Finding nothing spectacular about the picture or its making she retired into the hammock and watched as the clouds massed over her head. Curling, winding, masses of vapour six thousand metres high; elongated, shortened, forming faces of anonymous travellers visiting the sky she wondered: That face on the tree. Familiar yet unwielding in the tree. Nobody around. Look girl, can't you see me ? Up in the tree. No not that tree. Why do you turn when I look you in the eye ? Confused and bewildered. But yet satisfied of a silent forest she sits on a stump. Funny sort of stump. Open at the ends and hollow. Night owl flies above screeing his way through the sea mist. Thick and protruding. Amidst the fog comes a shape out of focus. Thick sea jacket. Run, girl, run like your feet have never before imagined. Extend the arm and rip from the tree the picture. The heavy breath weights her down but she does not stop. The mist runs with you, under you, through you. This path; didn't you play here as a girl ? With your mother and your brother. The wood where you tripped. Don't stop to think or the mist will grab you and freeze you and allow you to die with no-one knowing except the body lying on the ground. She cannot last much longer, and then, there is not far to go. Already the blood begins to flow and is cast upon rocks who, even with their non-mercy cannot move it. Spreading across the land the blood does not sink into the land for lack of ability. The girl has still not been caught but it won't be long. Flocks of swans are contrasted upon vivid reds and caught in a poise unforgetable. The greys turn red and explode into the sky. How far can she go ? Two hundred feet ? less, even. Moments of glory as the trees reflect the ecstasy involved. Brilliance of the millions shine upon the land. Eight thousand feet of trees, birds, animals and a single are covered in the time. The clouds celebrate the occasion and the calendar is moved. Myriads of grey are seeped into myriads of red, scarlet and crimson. The birds in formation dress ranks and God is praised. Porpoises and dolphin. Sea horses, painted red float on their backs while the fox and the kangaroo play under violet leaves. The buffalo herd go wild and nature trickles over deserts. Go must this sight ? Going on, without a break in the course. The fire rages then disappears behind the fire of another land. Our girl turns her head then she moves down the mountain. Who would ever believe she had seen this by herself ? No girl, I wouldn't. Not in my lifetime or my children's will I or they ever believe that you had found peace among a mountain. Not even on the first day of summer. —A. N. Warland
OUTSIDE The raucous lawn-mower, Bustling cars, The racket of a motorbike, Clanking machinery, Blocked out for a second. Leaving me, the scurrying thistledown, Buffeting wind, Rustling trees, My peaceful isolation. —Sandy Cameron SILENT AS DEATH Creeping from the shadows, With the fearlessness That should only be had by gods, It reproduces and spreads In a plague-like way. Silently, ever silently Becoming more and more intense The overpowering, engulfing monster Expands unceasingly Until, finally, the cancerous goal is achieved. —Ian Bidstrup CLOUDS Gliding in a lordly fashion over the earth Soaring with a unique wisdom, Changing itself over the sky like a jester, Governing the weather, But yet, is it wise ? . . . Sluggishly moving like a lifeless slave of the winds, Being pushed around by the elements. —D. McFarland THE AWAITING The days passed quickly by every man listening and waiting., for things that should drop from the sky. Men sat bunched with their officers, debating The wind rustling long grass aroused cold men sitting by warm fires. Even the movement stirred the top brass who sat waiting for the fliers. Then they came. The small white dots they filled the sky, while men filled the earth. —A Hooke WAR What is war worth ? The satisfaction of a stronger side, Or a bigger missile. These are trivial things Compared with the lives of men and women. The destruction of homes and towns. The separation of famHies. What does it amount to ? The slow destruction of the human race. — M . Andrew
A FREE SPIRIT The rafter seemed rotten, and the wind whistled through the hessian bags that served as windows and rain poured through the rusted corrugated iron roof onto the earthen floor, making gullies as it raced past the crouching figure in the corner. He had picked the absolute worst day for the big break, and was now wishing he was dry and safe back in "the pen." But he could not go back now, or he'd be in for life—he didn't mean to kill the guard, but the fool kept on coming, shouting and firing until then he lay motionless the ground. It was not his fault, it was the State's, he was framed and the jury fell for the bait; hook line and sinker. They put him away for twelve years, and he learned to hate, he hated them all. He hated the pigs, he hated the cons in his division. He had a lively, free spirit and nobody's "justice" was going to cage it. Right from his second month in he had been planning the escape, watching and timing routines, gathering information and collecting equipment. Justice had turned a good man into a hard relentless criminal. He had been toughened with time, wanted nothing and needed nobody.
But look where all this had got him, he was much worse off than he had been before escaping. Held up in a beach hut; cold, hungry and sore with the police closing in. Maybe it was good that he had done what was said to be impossible, but that was A l e consolation, as he was still trapped. He struggled to his feet and made towards the door. As he stepped put onto the sand, he felt the fresh salt breeze blowing briskly around the hut. He went down to the water's edge, the wpves breaking about a stone's throw away, watching the white and foamy crests, and the seagull soaring on high. He took thie revolver from his pocket and placed it against his temple. He had free spirit—a spirit that couldn't be caged. —Wayne Hines
HORSE RIDING Horse riding is the most enjoyable and relaxing way To get fresh air and to see the scenery. Horses have good natures, They like you as much as you like them. When I take one of the horses out He feels really good . . . and so do I. Enjoying himself . . . ears pricked alert. The best thing that they enjoy Is a good hard gallop up to Ceres lookout. All their hearts go into it, Trying to beat each other. It's a great feeling ! It's fantastic how you teach the horse something And he teaches you something too. A stock horse is a good ride. You just sit there and hang on And he does all the work. Both partners have to concentrate And know each other's intentions. —Daryl Smith
THE SUBWAY The train thunders on through the tunnel. Roaring sounds dig deep into my ears. The perpetual clacking of the wheels Tack nails in my brain. Suddenly the thunder ceases; The sound of voices and whistling comes to my ears, And I smell cocoa from the cafeteria. With care I step off the train, My faithful companion leading me. I move on. Half walking. Half being carried by the surging crowd. Slowly I begin the climb up the stairs. One flight, two and then three. Where is the light ? When will the sunshine come ? But the sunshine will never come. Never to where I am chained beneath my eyes For I am blind ! —R. D. Hurley

LIFE? Disposable nappies. Disposable bottles. Disposable biro's. Disposable cups. Disposable rubbish. Disposable government. Disposable people ? —A. N. Warland BO My cat has passed away It saw much my cat The passing of the horse and dray Saw, under willow-weeping sat Saw television, radio, radar What a marvel to have seen. All, from a distance not far, Yes, my cat has come and been, I often said to my old cat, You have seen many great things But did you think while you sat, Did you think, my cat king. That life is only a mystic manifestation, True life is beyond our means and inclination. —A. N. Warland DANCE OF THE TROLLS A clearing in the jungle Free of any grass, A little square— Marked out by four white stones. A little after midday King sun still shining bright A pair of darkened dancers Arrive beneath the throne. Till death they dance And sun, still heeding, Stays above the trees. Then one falls—crumbles The trees acknowledge King sun's tribute remains there. The trees press back, Make way—the dancer, Shroud the loser, the lifeless one. King sun departs, The winner lauded. But he sadly knows, That in life's jungle, Without failure, The winner lives to lose. —R. van Cooten
THE DUEL ON THE COBBLESTONES THE FIGHT Here are the bikies coming into town, Scaring all people for miles around. They wear leather jackets with studs in the back, Their boss is a tough one his first name is Mack; He has a scar on his face from a fight, That was fought in an alley one dark dreary night. He tussled against a baddie named Spike, Who was the type of man no one would like. The fight was a big one; it was vicious and mean, There was blood and guts everywhere like you've never seen. Spike threw a left and Mack threw a right, But all of a sudden the "fuzz" came in sight. The alley was filled with yellings and shouts, The cops called the bikies long haired louts. Spike got scared and started to run, Mack saw this and picked up a gun. He aimed, then he shot, Spike fell to the ground, Then all of a sudden Mack found himself bound. He was taken to the station and put in a cell, But when asked some questions Mack said "Go to Hell." He was let out on bail by a man called Joe Stace, But if you ask him he'll tell you "bout the scar" on his face. — N . Gardiner
The young man on the cobblestones One dark and dampened night, A mist clung to the heavy air And men were filled with fright. A figure at the other end All dressed in blackened hide Stared coldly at his rival, A pistol by his side. His name was Jimmy Cartrof, Called by his friends "The Ace," And murder was his business, He showed it in his face. He'd come here on this blackened night To settle up a score. His young foe on the cobblestones Would walk the streets no more. His rival's name was "Scarface," A member of the mob, He'd stole the Ace's girlfriend. His heart began to throb. He'd die that night, the Ace was sure, He'd fill him up with lead. The Ace's girl would never go With Scarface to his bed. The Ace had raised his pistol And aimed it for the head. He cried a curse "Ya dirty dog ! I'll shoot ya till ya dead !" But Scarface had made better plans, From a window way up high, A showering spray of bullets Killed the Ace without a cry. It went down on the records That Scarface killed the Ace, And he was held in high acclaim For killing at that place. But I've been told by those who knew That the one who shot the gun Was Jimmy Cartrof's girlfriend, So she's really number one. —David Jones

WHAT A WONDER SCIENCE IS As Indians sit with empty plate And think about their wretched state They only have to look on high And see what hangs there in the sky. A mushroom shape is rising up It does not help to fill their cup, But what a wonder science is, As they sit there in humble bliss. As stomachs rumble in applause, They must support this worthy cause, Disease and hunger claim still more. But when it comes, they'll win the war. Are the people satisfied ? Of course they are, the bomb's been tried. What a wonder science is As they sit there in humble bliss. As rain pelts onto earthen floor And wind whips through the space for door, When child lets out a shivering cry It's science that keeps spirits high. When boney bodies line the street And Indians have nought to eat, What a wonder science is As they sit there in humble bliss. Although the meal is once a day The country's pride is here to stay. Science helps the people through, All happy people, never blue. Where food is short and hunger reigns This wonder science kills the pains. What a wonder science is, As they sit there in humble bliss. —Wayne Hines
STEP INSIDE Step inside, we've got the most amazing show You'll love it, we all know Step inside, step inside. If you follow me You will see Tears, And lots of misery. First on your left, behind the glass There is a real blade of grass Be careful as you pass. Move along, move along. Come, breathe some pure air, Never have you felt so fair Take care, beware Don't have more than your share. If you're lucky you might see A flying bird in a plastic tree, And if you're not content with that We'll pull Jesus from a hat. Not even to be found on Mars Rows of priests' heads in jars. A bomb —inside a car Spectacular! And to finish there is Tom He invented the atom bomb. And in his hand lies the world Until, outwards it shall hurl. Step this way The show's about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart. You'll get your money's worth The best show on Heaven, Hell, or Earth. —Clive Amery
MY OWN SEA The sun rises from far across the horizon reflecting its light, On the crystal blue sea of pleasure, Which has been stilled, by the calmness of the night. And I stand on the sandy sea shore gazing at the sea's own treasure The glistening swells, which have come from the depths of the summer night, To arrive by sunrise, on the sea shore Bringing with them a joy for me unmeasured, Till the coolness of the summer night when we shall need them no more We will play with the waves of the sea. To extract a pleasure and freedom that only they give to me. For I love the swells of the sea And I shall always want them for me But for now I must leave the enchantment of the sea, for the repsonsibilities of life come hounding me, and seem to never cease. But I will be back, for the sea is where I'm at ease. —David Pearce
The sea is a gigantic wet beast. It breathes, giving us what are called waves. He communicates with his friend the moon and through these negotiations we receive tides. His finger nails are white and the rest of him is blue and green. He is a huge blob so big that you can't see the end of him. He is all over the world. The seas moods change. When he is calm and happy he makes his skin flat and enjoyable for us. Then if a slight bit niggly he moves which makes him choppy. But if angry he combines with the sky and its elements and produces a violent and raging storm. His favourite sports are tossing boats and playing with swimmers, grabbing them and bringing them further out into the missive body of his. His outside is always swallowing objects. It is very easy to become a thing inside him and see what he is made of. Like fish and sharks and ships and so on which have fed him through time. About his only fault is that he is greedy and is not satisfied with what he has, but has got to grab more land with his powerful hands. This is a problem with some humans. Overall we could not survive without him. He is really not a bad guy. —R. Atkinson 62-74
A HUMAN EXPERIMENT What's at the top of the stairs ? Just a few old classrooms. What's that one ? Room 01. Just an old laboratory. Laboratory ! What's that ? Oh, just a place where they carried out experiments Oh, I see. Do they carry out experiments now ? Well, yes, I guess they do, sort of! What sort of experiments ? Oh, guess you might call them human experiments. Human experiments ? Sounds interesting, tell me more. Well, some guys go in there and sit and talk. What do they talk about ? Oh, all sorts of things— Dogs and horses; ferrets and rabbits; boats and bikes. Is that all they do ? Well, no, not exactly. Sometimes they read and sometimes they even write— But mostly they just sit and talk—and listen. What kind of experiment is that ? Well, like I said, it's a human experiment. —C.S.C.
IN THE BEGINNING With a flick of the switch the wheel rotated around and around. The clay is thrown on and within seconds hands are clasped around the clay. These skilful hands take the wobbles out and soon it rotates with ease. More water he shouts as his hands slide to shape the clay. A hole appears and new life is formed Slowly but surely the pot takes shape. Spinning around his hands smooth the cl*ay The feeling is good and experience shows— Within minutes the creation has bloomed Made by hands to perfection. Only a few minutes For so much. See what skill can do ! —P. Taylor

THE WIMPIED BAR OF MY MIND . . . (with apologies) introduction Tables chock full of sad empty people. Mass of live limbs gurgling and elbows In backs on chins, above the sea of heads Tilting trays of beer and wine, bob and glide Oh, in the wimpied bar of my mind At least I can see the glittering gem The rocks swill madly around and around Seething with juice and the breath of the sea. The olive skinned, big breasted whore of time Swirls and tilts to my bony, gristle arms And sucks the salt from my splashy death sea. Then ebbs away on her fulcrum of lust. Crying into an empty glass of ice Cries out for brandy, the drink of ages; Slid across the counter wetted sea shells Once of beauty now of greed and sorrow. A nice man eats into my waxy ear, Cleansing it with friendly reason and taste; Then away, the titanic of my brain To his sea sucked friends at the end of the bar. A good time, sad time big band playing sweet. Hazy cool trumpet notes filled with smoked sand; Moist, red lipped fishes wipe wetted moustaches, And sad boozers eyes glance up and then down. Dead in a cornered pot a seedy rose Grows dying all deaded by weeded dirt; "Needs watering," a sailor, king of weeds Slips across and cocks his doggy drunk leg ! Back at my ashed cigarette sucked table I laugh also; a bleak cheesy smile— Where's my area of dull thudding sound, My click, my star and my silent clean sea. Dresses fling up in a wild lonely dance Falsified chaos, history's order; Padded soil in neat little flower pots History, birth, snotty childhood and death. Pebbles swill, clink in a paper thin glass, Grating and chewing on my brainy brain, And thick clumsy smoke dribbles through fingers, Cries out for brandy, for an angel almost. Ah, at last the click the soft lovely click Thud. The clinking of glasses pin points of light In a humid, dark, leafy roofed forest. Nothing sweet nothing the sweet rolling sea Formless. Tasteless, dark, light. There is no more to say . . . —Andrew James
WHO AM I ? Who or what created me ? One, a unique individual of flesh With a mind of such complacency A grasp held on my life, a strended mesh Am I deaf and dumb or blind Or is it just that I don't want to see ? A shape or figure that I cannot find. Society too willing to let me be free— On one side I want what I feel A life with a psychic friend But now who in my life is real A shaping mystery which I can't comprehend My life a worrying challenge to my spiritual friend He'll guide me through the worst till the end. —Chris Crawford
NO CHANCE Lying there he suddenly realized it. the finality the perpetuaty the never ending blackness of death. Would it hurt ? How long would it last ? A second ! But how long is a second ? It can be quick, and it can be eternity. Would he fight it. Yes, he wouldn't die life was too good. Then he smiled, he suddenly knew, but he couldn't tell anyone. —Peter Everett

The Technical Aids Branch has just completed its second year as an integral part of the library, and we are surprised to look back and consider that we thought last year was busy; in comparison with this year it was a holiday. We have been learning by our mistakes and are always full of new ideas, if only we had the time to put them all into practice. We have had numerous visitors from other schools who are themselves thinking of establishing audio-visual departments, and we hope that we have been able* to pass on some helpful hints now that we have been in the business long enough to be among the "old hands." This type of operation needs to be controlled by an efficient librarian who can organise the varied material ("software") available and be able to find things quickly on demand, but who also has sufficient technical knowledge to look after the increasingly complex machinery ("hardware") which is necessary to be able to use the materials. It is doubtful whether such a person exists, and in our department this dual role is taken by Mrs. J. Gibson and Mr. R. Salen who have come to work well together as a team. This team has received much valuable help from the following : Rowan Gleeson, Peter Batt, Rod Brown, Ron Bubko, Andrew Deans, Stephen Gough, Wally Hunt, Peter Jenkins, Craig McKenzie, Andrew Robb, and to these people and all others who have helped we owe many thanks. Of course it has not been plain sailing all the way. There is currently a world-wide shortage of electrical parts, and we have felt some effect of this. Projection lamps, for example, are very hard to get, and some types are just unobtainable. We have at various stages during the year had pieces of equipment out of use waiting for spare parts, but most of our customers have been patient and understanding. Our television equipment, always the glamour part of our operations, has received a boost this year with the purchase of a portable videorecorder and camera, which was largely financed by donations made specifically for this purpose. Although this unit was purchased largely with its potential as an aid in rowing coaching in mind, it has also been put to "serious" use, and has proved a valuable asset. We have also been able to buy a new video-recorder for the recording and replay of T.V. broadcasts. This new machine works better than the old one, and has lower
maintenance costs. The old machine gave several years of good and faithful service, but the time has finally come to put it out to grass. This replacement of worn out machinery highlights the continuing costs of using audio-visual media, and since we are very cost concious these days, it is good for the soul to work under a system that requires us to be able to justify on good educational grounds any purchases that we make. Thus we are less likely to fall victim to fast talking salesmen to sell the expensive gadetry that is flooding onto the market. It would be nice though to get one's hands onto some of those nice shiny new toys, all bristling with knobs, that will play tapes, show films, record programmes, and make coffee all at the same time. Maybe one day, when we are rich school, and money is no object . . . well we can at least dream.

1974 has been a most encouraging year in the growth of Drama. Highlights included "The Royal Pardon" (by John Arden and Margaretta D'Arcy) which was performed by students from the College and the Hermitage for audiences of over two thousand primary and secondary students invited from schools within the Geelong area—as part of Social Service week. The experience and enjoyment gained by players and audiences fulfilled our greatest expectations. Together with Anita Fisken, Melanie Houghton, Peggy Armstrong, Barbara McDonald and Karen White from the Hermitage, James Davidson, Jock MacRae, Tim Bartlett, Andrew Warland, Andrew James, Peter Lindeman, Tim Bracher and Robin Halls, combined to provide enjoyable and quality performances. Andrew James writes, "The Royal Pardon" was an adventure into a completely new area of theatre, as far as Geelong College was concerned. Part slapstick and part just plain fun, the play relied to a great extent on audience participation and contact; a "dodgy" area for a professionl actor let along the "College Players." The hard work that everyone put in paid off though, and the play was a great success. It was performed on a thrust stage with the audience on three sides. Once rehearsals were under way we seemed headed at great speed towards opening night which was always too close for comfort. The rehearsal period was an experience in itself. Although they were great fun and we learned a great deal about acting in general, we soon realised that the life of an actor is not all "lead guitars and movie stars." We played for three evening performances with the intimate atmosphere of smaller numbers in the audience and this proved a very satisfactory experience for cast and audience. After the last performance for parents and friends—and a welldeserved celebration at the "police-station" we could look forward to a week's rest before hitting the boards again—this time for a week during the Social Service programme with two performances a day for students from Geelong Schools. Over two thousand students accepted the invitations and were able to come to enjoy the play. These performances were definitely the high point of the whole experience. The reaction of the audience were enthusiastic to say the least. After one performance a crowd of admiring girls mobbed back stage trying to catch a glimpse of the Prince, who by that time was half-way across 70-74
the oval for fear of losing his life. Another heart throb was the intrepid Mr. Luke, not forgetting the equally intrepid Miss Esmeralda. Their passionate embrace in the second scene never failed to produce a chorus of envious sighs throughout the audience. The battle scene between Luke and the Constable was also very popular. Anyone who happened to fall asleep was sharply awoken by the enthusiastic encouragement from the audience as Luke was chased around the hall. The strolling actors led by Mr. & Mrs. Croke finally gained their well-deserved recognition and international acclaim by winning the French King's prize—despite the fact that they didn't even perform. Mr. & Mrs. Croke were sick, William had a "strange disturbance in his bowels," and the Clown had been fired. Their food has been maliciously poisoned by the beautiful French Actress. The marvellous letters we received from many of the children made the whole thing worth while, and if a play is to be judged on audience reaction then the "Royal Pardon" was a tremendous success.
Special thanks must go to Mr. Michael Roland for his direction, also to David Angimea for the wonderful music he wrote for the play. Thanks to Mr. Bob Casey for handling the bookings, Miss Jane Honman for arranging the costumes and messrs. Don Webb, Fred Elliott and Terry Egan for making and organising the properties, and to Mr. Roger Salen, Rowan Gleeson and Rod Brown for their help and preparation with sound and lighting. There are many others who worked behind the scenes for seemingly little reward and a sincere thank you must go to them from the cast." "Candlelight Theatre" again provided three most enjoyable evenings in the Dining Hall with College and Morongo students joining with staff members to present readings from plays, novels, and short stories to complement the delicious dinner provided by Jim Rennie and his staff. Those who took part were Sue Fielding, Lyn Adams and Sue Jolly from Morongo, and Andrew James, Robin Halls, Tim Bracher, Jock MacRae, Peter Neal, Jamie Fielding, David Backwell, Andrew Waraland, Ross Kearney, Tim Bartlett and Alistair Baird, together with members of staff who were keep to join in the fun. From Tim Bartlett—"Candlelight Theatre was, as last year, presented in the school Dining Hall. The producer, Mr. Roland and messrs. Rennie, Elliott, Slingo and Salen, and Rod Brown, provided the ingredients for three entertaining nights. Seven stories were read, some humorous, others not. Either way it provided the producer with a great variety of characters. These were found from Morongo in Sue Jolly, Sue Fielding and Lyn Adams, Geelong College students from most forms and senior 'celebrities' McCallum, Barley, Gilbert and Wettenhall. 'Rinse the Blood off my Toga' a send-up on the assassination of Caesar was one of the best received stories. Others included Andrew James and Sue Fielding as Mr. & Mrs. Mitty in 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' and 'The Magic Pudding' (boasting every sort of animal from penguins to roosters) with fiery contributions by Bill Barnacle and Sam Sawnoff. It is easy to say that something was a success —as a cliche . . . without meaningful consideration. Anything that brings people together for the purposes of giving others enjoyment is, as I see it, a success. Candlelight Theatre was that." Jim Marendaz, Neville Daniel, Alistair Baird and David Backwell joined with other "friends of Morongo" in their presentation of "Trio"—three plays by Noel Coward.
Many of those who took part in these various programmes are returning to school so we can look forward with confidence to the year ahead. Again we had visits from the Melbourne Theatre Company with performances of "Dagger of the Mind" involving interpretations of "Macbeth" which proved very useful for students in Fifth and Sixth Forms, "Hot Dag" a contemporary study on loneliness written by John Wood, and "Thumbscrew Circus." Combining music and drama the visit of the "Bushwackers and Bullockies Bush Band" provided a most entertaining hour for enthusiastic performers and audience alike. The success of the group during their present overseas tour in Britain is no surprise to us after the experience they provided for us. "Songs of Social History" required smaller groups so that the relationship between the performers and audience was more relaxed. Again a very enjoyable experience was gained for each Form Group who attended one of the four performances provided. In the Final Term, C A T . Theatre presented "The Wreck of the Corsair" by Simon Hopkinson—an adventure story based on several actual Bass Strait shipwrecks which'provided a dramatic study of loyalties and relationships between the people most concerned with the "Corsair" and a seemingly routine voyage from Warrnambool to Melbourne. The Spanish Theatre Company provided the exciting music, the colours, and the dances, of Spain so successfully that the Company was asked to return to perform for those unable to attend the first presentation. The Geelong Repertory Society continued to provide invitations for students to attend final dress rehearsals of the six plays presented for the year and there is increasing demand for opportunities to see these plays. Warwick Harwood, James Davidson, Mark Bell and Andrew James, together with David Angimea prepared and produced a Radio Programme for a series of School Broadcasts for 3GL sponsored by the Capital Building Society, and were duly rewarded with a handsome cheque for $58.00 presented by the Society, and used for purchasing further equipment for our Drama activities in the school. Finally congratulations to Tim Bartlett and Andrew James for their contribution to Drama this year, for although so many others have also worked hard and achieved a great deal, Tim and Andrew are worthy recipients of the Drama Prize for 1974. 71 - 74
As always, the school year has been a successful and enjoyable one for the many boys involved in the numerous musical activities within and without the school. At the time of writing, activities are still being prepared for, including those for the "Open-Day" weekend. This year's House Music Festival was held in Term 3 owing to the lack of rehearsal time between Easter and the dates chosen for the opera and school play. The contribution of a larger than usual number of H.S.C. music candidates, all well prepared should have resulted in some performances of a very high standard. The Concert Band comprising some 22 players has concentrated on the 'Terpsichore Suite" by Practorius, excerpts from "Pictures at an Exhibition" and lighter numbers. In Term 1, the band made its annual trip to Laverton to rehearse with the R.A.A.F. Central Band and again invaluable experience was gained in addition to the enjoyable outing. The high standard reached was evident at the Six Schools' Concert. Several other performances were given in Term 3 and our thanks go to Mr. Mawson for the work he does in this area. Many band members make up the various smaller instrumental ensembles which also performed at the Six Schools' Concert at Geelong Grammar School in addition to two vocal groups. Actually, only the original four schools participated this year, with some good instrumental music from the girls' schools too. A highly successful Soiree Musicale was presented in October by senior instrumental students in solos and ensembles at the Balmoral Galleries. Such functions have helped to give many boys necessary experience in public performance. One professional recital was given in Term 2 by the noted English clavichordist Kathleen Crees. The combined concert with Morongo this year took the form of three performances of Johann Strauss's operetta "Die Fledermaus" (The Bat). Performing "in the round" presented some problems, especially for the audience at a distance, but enabled the chorus and ballet in particular to be much better seen and heard than on the stage. Principal parts were taken by Steven Duff as Gabriel, John Lees as Dr. Falke, Richard Bartlett as Alfred, Neil Myers as the prison governor and Milton Collins as Blint. The girls' parts were taken 72-74
by Carol Blood (Rosalinda), Debbie Morwood (Adele) and Kristen Goode (Ida). We thank our "imported" producer Mr. C. H. Fleet for his time and expertise. The organisation of costumes, make-up and properties was an unbelievably complex task involving many members of both staffs and friends. "Die Fledermaus" was a most enjoyable and rewarding experience for us all. At this time we thank particularly Mr. R. W. Burbury, who for some 20 years, has tuned and maintained our pianos.
PIPE BAND Our participation in the Juvenile Pipe Band contest at the Queen's Park Highland Gathering in Term One of this year, showed beyond doubt that the Geelong College Pipe Band has reached a standard of proficiency never before attained in the seven years since its inception. All Tuesday and Friday practices during First Term were wholly devoted to preparation for the contest in mid-March. As there was little time between the commencement of school and the competition, every spare moment was used to perfect our playing, co-ordination and drill, and all band members are to be commended for their keen efforts and determination. On the day we performed well, though to our amazement and dismay, were unplaced. Nevertheless, experience gained as a result of competing and being able to listen to pipe bands from all over the state, will be beneficial to us all as bandsmen. We also played in the Massed Bands' display. Other engagements this year have been : the occasion of the final official visit to Geelong of the retiring Governor of Victoria, Sir Rohan Delacombe, where we played at the City Hall during the inspection of the Collefie Guard of Honour; much the same thing for the first visit of the new Governor, Sir Henry Winnicke, at the Geelong Showgrounds; the Gala Day march; the College Open Day; and a half-hour recital in the City Mall for the entertainment of the lunchtime crowd during Easter week. Next year the band will be relying heavily on our third and fourth form learner pipers and new recruits from the Prep., as many senior pipers are leaving school at the end of this year. Our thanks go to our expert tutors, Messrs. Taylor and Douglas, without whose time and efforts the Pipe Band would not now be at its present high standard of performance. The band personnel are—J. C. McKenzie, pipe major, D. S. Sutherland, pipe sergeant, B. T. Fenner, L. W. Mitchell, J. R. Stevenson, S. P. Lade, A. G. C. McKenzie, J. D. Laidlaw, drum major, S. A. C. Brumby, drum sergeant, N. G. Graham, R. P. Walpole, S. G. Brumby, M. R. Collins. — J . C. McKenzie

(Term III), F. White, Esq. 1974 has been a year when the House of Guilds has seen few changes. In the outside world we have seen great changes, some of which have affected us tremendously. The worst of these is the price spiral, making it ever harder for the HOG to operate. Within our staff there have been several changes. The first of these was when Andrew Cameron, last year's sub-warden, joined the HOG staff to replace Mr. Reg. Eagles who has gone on a study trip overseas. Angus Cameron was secretary of the HOG council until the end of term one. After several years as supervisor in the metalwork shop Mr. Andy Brown left us at the end of term two. Mr. W. Shirer has come to fill the gap
left by Andy's departure. Mr. F. White leaves us for retirement to Queensland at the end of this term. Over the eleven years he has spent with us, many boys have benefited greatly from his knowledge of woodwork and other crafts such as the making of jewellery. The only major change to the actual HOG building this year has been the renovation of the large " L " shaped room behind the radio room, for the use of print makers. A steady flow of original prints has sprung from the old press, particularly during art classes. Previously the area had been a combination of a showcase, leatherwork, woodwork, and print making room. During the year a new wood lathe has been purchased for the use of wood turners. Our thanks must go to Mr. Seaton who has patiently reclassified and arranged out extensive shel Icollection for us. The pottery department under the guidance of Mrs. J. Lee, has completed its expansion into the old garage. With the removal of the old engines and the addition of a load of gravel to the floor, the pottery department now has a very large area in which to work. The radio department is enjoying a comeback since its move last year. Large numbers of boys are using its facilities. All the other departments are functioning well, with much work of very high quality coming from all. We look forward to the presence of girls next year, to bring their ideas into our work. Numbers during Extra Curricular activities this year have decreased slightly on last year, but the HOG is still very crowded on Tuesday afternoons, there being up to seventy people using its facilities. To help with this influx of boys, several masters have donated their services, notably Mr. B. McLeod (photography) and Miss M. Neal (woodwork). After school and at weekends, there are about fifteen to twenty boys using the HOG. However that does not mean to say that the number of boys using the place is small. There have been approximately one hundred and twenty regular workers this year, and almost as many who just drop in from time to time. Finally, we must thank the people who have kept the HOG going—the boys who use it. Without them the HOG could not exist. R. V. B.

INTRODUCTION Cadets is once again a voluntary activity after many years of compulsory enrolment from Forms 3 to 5. It now stands against 6 other interesting activities but has already increased its enrolment for the year 1975 above that of 1974. The total enrolment this year was just under 200. The enthusiasm and interest shown all year has further convinced me of the value of cadet training. Also the nominations for Brigade Courses in November and December tooped 50 and these prospective Sergeants, Warrant Officers and Cadet Under Officers will provide strong leadership for the next couple of years. Volunteers for extra activities like the Guards for the Highland Games and the Governor's visits came forward with a new confidence and there seemed a renewed vitality in the Unit. ACTIVITIES FOR YEAR There were day parades at College where cadets learnt, among other things, about the organization of the Unit, about the equipment used, and how to fire rifles on an open range. There was also a weekend bivouac at Anglesea at the end of first term where first year cadets learnt to live in the bush, cook their own food, and carry out basic training, while senior cadets worked at their particular interests whether they be signals, pioneer work, intelligence mapping, or cooking. Shooting was attempted on our mini range and at Williamstown and Puckapunyal. All cadets fired the .303 rifle and senior cadets fired the 7.62mm SLR and Bren gun. The Range Days were a little disappointing but certainly revived interest in live firing after not participating in this activity for a number of years. This coming year there will be a coached shooting team to represent the College in Brigade competitions. The Annual Camp was the climax of the year's training and 169 cadets attended. The Camp was held both at the Puckapunyal hutted area—"O" Black—and in the State Forest. The training syllabus was adventurous, challenging and most successful. An NCO course was also held for 50 1st and 2nd year cadets and was completely and competently organized by Under Officers Duff, Batt and Johnstone, with the RSM, WO Laidlaw. 76-74
There were quite a few memorable events this year—a lost group in the State Forest; well bogged vehicles; a visit to the tank regiment; ball games on the beach; the ever present visual platoon; burnt soup by the catering platoon; a windy, cold Williamstown Rifle range. STAFF CHANGES This year saw the retirement of Major E. B. Davies and Captain H. Baker. Major Davies joined the Unit in 1956 as a Lt. in charge of B. Company recruits. He came from the Armed Forces at Duntroon where he was a Warrant Officer. In 1963 he was promoted to 21C and retained that position under Lt. Col. H. Dunkley, Lt. Col. Turner and the present OC. In 1972 he was promoted to Major in an Honorary capacity and received the long service medal from the Armed Services. He has given outstanding service to the Unit and retired this year due to pressure of his commitments at College. I thank him sincerely for his continued devotion and support and wish him well in his future years at College. Captain Baker jointed the Unit in 1964 as Training Officer and in 1965 became the A. Coy Comd. He continued to serve with interest and proficiency and was promoted to Captain to hold the position of adjutant this year. He has contributed much to the Unit over the last 10 years and has retired at this time because of the pressure of work in the Science Department. I take this opportunity to thank him for his help and guidance. Senior School Maths Master Mr. J. H. Douglas joined the Unit this year before Annual Camp as a Lt. and will take over the Medical and Intelligence platoons as his special responsibility in 1975. Prep School Master Mr. P. J. Connor is also joining at present as a Lt. for 1975-and will train the Senior Cadets in a Special Commando type platoon. I welcome both these Officers to the Unit and hope they will enjoy the involvement for many years. Mr. R. D. Gleeson also joined the Unit at the start of the year and accepted the responsibility of B Company as a Lt. Lt. Gleeson was previously a member of the Unit as a Sergeant in the
Signal PI. in his Matriculation year, where he demonstrated his skill and interest. Next year he will become the Training Officer where he can use his organizing and planning abilities in preparing the syllabus. I wish him well and hope he continues to enjoy the activity. ORGANIZATION OC : Major D. D. W. Cameron Quartermaster : Captain J. Mawson A Coy Comd. : Captain C. S. Crockett B Coy Comd. : Lt. R. Gleeson Adjutant : Captain H. Baker Training Officer : Lt. T. A. Egan The Regular Army Warrant Officer attached to us by 23 Cadet Bn is WO D. Ballard. He has been of great assistance and I sincerely thank him for his attention, cheerfulness and support. He is a most welcome link between the Army and the Unit. FINAL PARADE The last parade for the year was held in Morrison Hall as a full dress parade with all cadets intending to remain in the Unit kilted. The Unit assembled with a great number of parents to hear the address by Mr. D. R. T. MecMillan. Presentations were made to Major E. B. Davies and Captain H. Baker, and prizes offered to CUO S. J. Duff and CUD I. D. Johnston for outstanding service, to Sergeant M. S. Newton for the Senior NCO Prize and to Cpl. J. C. Waugh for topping the NCO Course. Two films—one of the year's training and the other of the Annual Camp were shown. These films were the work of the Visual Platoon of three cadets, led by Sgt. R. Brown and were of an excellent standard. CONCLUSION The Cadet Unit offers an excellent opportunity for young men to gain valuable training in leadership in a wide range of activities, under the direction of capable instructors and will certainly grow in strength. Finally I wish to thank Lt. T. A. Egan for his enthusiasm as Training Officer, Capt. C. S. Crockett for his continued support as Company Commander, Capt. J. Mawson for his outstanding organization as Quartermaster, and all those cadets who accepted responsibility for themselves and others and helped to make this year an outstanding success. —D. D. W. Cameron
DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD SCHEME This Scheme, introduced in the U.K. by the Duke of Edinburgh some years ago, is intended to tie together the leisure hours of young people, and to try to create a meaningful objective towards which they might channel their efforts. It is intended that "young people", i.e. 14 to 21 years old, aim to achieve proficiency in four aspects of leisure-time activities. These are : service to the community; expeditions; interests (hobbies); and physical activities. There are three levels at which candidates are assessed : Bronze, Silver and Gold. This year, eleven boys embarked on satisfying the requirements for Bronze level, and have achieved success in thier efforts. The boys have worked at their chosen service and interests throughout the year, and underwent a physical activities programme in personal fitness. Probably the highlights of the scheme, which generally is low-key from the organizational point
78-74
of view, were the two expeditions. The first, at the end of first term, was conducted in the area behind Anglesea and the Angahook Forest Park. As a trial run for the qualifying expedition, it proved .extremely worthwhile in helping to eradicate minor problems with tents and equipment. The second expedition, held at the end of second term over four days was successful, though cold, wet weather created problems. Held in the delightful waterfalls area behind Lome, the area proved to be most appropriate, as back tracks leading to interesting natural features through rugged country is ideal for candidates at this level. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme should prove to be a successful venture in the school, and should fill a niche as an alternative to cadets in the Outdoors Activities bracket. P. A. Cronk
The Exploration Society now provides one of the alternative occupations for boys who do not wish to join the Cadet Corps. There are about fifty members of the society which aims to train its members to be competent in bushcraft. First year members are mostly drawn from the third forms. Operating from base camps, they learn the rudiments of hiking and camping. Second year members move out into trackless terrain, supported only by what they carry. The first and second year groups work under adult supervision. During the third and final year, boys, unaccompanied by adults, are expected to be able to plan and carry out trips of one week duration in selected areas. In May this year the Society held a "shakedown cruise" down the Cumberland river water-
shed in the Otway Ranges. Two groups proved to be capable of conducting their own trips and in August one went to Wilson's Promontory and the other to the Grampians' Victoria Range. Mr David Wettenhall led a fourth form group in an attempt to traverse the Serra Range and Mr. Warnn Harris took a group to the Mt. William Range A junior group were with Mr. Fred Elliott in thp Lake Bellfield area. The Grampians weather in August is often unsettled and this year dealt all parties a salutory lesson on how difficult mountains can become in extreme conditions. Strong wind, rain, hail and even snow tested the endurance of the parties. As conditions on the ridges became more difficult the parties moved to the comparative shelter and safety of the valleys, but all reached their rendezvous points in good time.

A party of 37 boys from the 4th and-5th Form forestry group set off on the last Saturday of second term for a tour of forestry operations in South Eastern Victoria. From the College the party travelled through Ballarat to Creswick, where we were shown over the Government's School of Forestry. After a roadside lunch just out of Creswick, the group went on a tour of the Creswick State Forest, where we were shown the concepts of multiple land usage in practice. From here, after a brief stop at Hepburn Springs, we travelled through Trentham to Elphinstone, to camp at Mr. I. MacRae's property for the night. Next day, after a brief description of the area by Mr. MacRae, we travelled to Snobs Creek, where we had lunch and an unfortunately abbreviated guided tour of the trout hatchery. After a brief visit to Snobs Creek falls, the group journeyed through Yea to Eildon and the weir. It was then straight to Kanumbra, to bed down at Mr. A. W. Jones' property for the night. The next stage of our tour took us to Gould's saw mill at Marysville, where we were shown sawing and chipping operations. We moved to the Cumberland Valley to see timber felling, then back to Marysville where Mrs. Gould had prepared lunch for the whole party. The group then journeyed through the large timber stands around Warburton to Mt. DonnaBuang, for the inevitable snow fight. We made our way slowly down the mountain, and then through Warragul and Noojee to Mr. R. Stone's property at Stoney Creek, which we reached much later than expected. We left Stoney Creek the next day for Morwell, where we were shown over the Open Cut coal mine and generating plant. After lunch we travelled through Traralgon to the Rosedale-Longford plantation area of Australian Paper Mills, where we were shown pine and eucalyptus utilisation for paper manufacture. We set out in the afternoon for Longford to take on supplies, then to Maffra and Mr. Dumaresq's property for the night. Next morning we travelled back to Maffra, where we were given a guided tour of the huge bulk milk depot and processing plant of Gippsland Associated Milk Products, from where much of Victoria's dairy produce is distributed.
80-74
We went to Alstergrens Heyfield saw mill for lunch. After lunch we were shown over the large timber holding yards, the wood chipping operation, kiln drying of hardwood timber, and its machining and finishing. From Heyfield we travelled East to Lakes Entrance and finally the Brodribb saw mill where we set up camp for the night. Next morning saw the party inspecting seedling growing, planting, and felling of silver-top gums in the forests around Orbost. Later we travelled to Mahlo for a look at the Snowy River heads, and a much needed break from bus travel. We again spent the night at Alstergrens Brodribb Mill. The next morning, the last of the trip, we rose very early and travelled directly for Sale for a counter lunch, then back to Geelong reaching the College by mid-afternoon. On the whole the tour was extremely enjoyable, and those interested learned much of the practical side of forestry and saw milling. The thanks of the whole group goes to Mr. and Mrs. I. MacRae, Elphinstone, Mr. A. W. Jones, Kanumbra, Mr. and Mrs. Gould, Marysville, Mr. and Mrs. R. Stone, Stoney Creek, and Mr. and Mrs. Dumaresq, for their hospitality, and to Charles Harbison and David Gilbert for organising the tour. Andrew Cassidv
The new format for activities giving a clear week in which to operate lent itself very well to intensive flying training. After extensive inquiries it was found that the Victorian Gliding Club ran a weekly course at Benalla. Craig McKenzie, Stephen Thomson, Ron Walpole, Walter Spratt, with Mr. B. McLeod, all decided to learn the basic techniques of gliding and soaring during the activity week. The fact that the all-metal "Blanik" in which we did our familiarization flight was piloted by an attractive young girl was a little shattering for the boys but Monday saw us in the capable hands of Ed McKeogh, the Chief Flying Instructor. The airfield then took considerable punishment as we all tried to land the motorized "Falke" trainer either twenty feet in the air or twenty feet underground. The intensive concentration required in remembering pre-flight checks, down wind checks, procedures for circuits, while actually learning to co-ordinate controls, left the boys absolutely ex-
hausted after their first day in the air. However, rapid progress was made in spite of the poor weather, and all boys moved on to Kookaburra. Immediately another difficulty arose. Holding the glider in the correct position behind the Pawnee tug planes required quick reactions and extreme concentration. One then had to release at the correct time and land without damaging plane or pilot. Events in the air were generally followed by lectures on ground handling, safety, theory of flight and weather conditions. A highlight was a lecture and demonstration on the correct use of parachutes in an emergency. The boys were treated as adult students at all times, given excellent reports and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It is hoped that Gliding will become a regular activity in the College so any help or information from interested parents would be most welcome. B. McLEOD
FLOWERDALE HORSE RIDING CAMP During the Outside Activities week, fifteen boys, accompanied by Mr. Keary and Miss Honman, attended a trail riding camp at Flowerdale near Whittlesea. We left the College at about nine o'clock on Saturday, 10th August, and despite a few minor traffic crises we arrived safely that afternoon. The next four days were spent on various trail rides in the mountainous country surrounding Flowerdale. We were led on these rides by Stan Knight, the owner of the horses and the property at which we stayed. The ambulance/bus bore us safely back to Geelong on Thursday, 15th August. The camp was a success and we hope that more can be arranged in the future. Our thanks go to Mr. Keary and Miss Honman for organising and providing transport for the camp.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Nearly every member of the Staff has offered an activity each Tuesday afternoon and the boys have therefore bee'n able to choose from a diverse range of alternatives. Skin diving, golf, horse riding, karate and sailing, fishing, photography, woodwork, printing and pottery, chess, debating, philosophy, agricultural science and woolclassing have been among the thirty or so options available. The outstanding feature of the year has been the number of boys who have derived benefit and pleasure from their involvement. While 6th and 5th form have been given the alternative of private study, some 6th and a majority of 5th formers have in fact chosen to take advantage of the opportunities these activities have presented. In the junior forms, where no such alternative existed, there have been some who have found little enjoyment or interest in the scheme, but they were in the minority. Overall, Extra Curricular Activities have proved to be a worthwhile part of the broader educational experience provided at the College.
GYMNASIUM Since the Rolland Centre opened, ready for Term II, 1970, the gymnasium generally has been used to good effect by most boys in the school. The weight-training machines were installed ready for Term III, 1970, and these machines have been a most interesting and valuable feature of gymnasium work since then. Each boy, upon entering the school at third form level, is shown how to correctly use the machines and how to work out a weight-training routine to suit his own particular age, build, and needs. This information is kept for ready reference in a filing cabinet within the gymnasium. Apart from weight-training, the usual Olympic fixed apparatus is used. During Physical Education lessons the boys are taught the fundamentals of apparatus gymnastics. Necessarily the standard at this stage is quite low, however the opportunity is there for boys with a flair for this type of work to specialize during some P.E. time, and also they make take gym as an extra curricular activity. The gymnasium is used daily by rowers in the first four eights for "exercises" during first term, and some rowers avail themselves of the weight-training equipment for off-season musclestrengthening work. Similarly, members of other teams do pre-season work for their particular sports using specially formulated training programmes. Some boys, usually those not particularly interested in team-games, elect to take gymnasium work as their sport for the term, and so undertake gym work two days per week after school. These boys generally concentrate on personal fitness, incorporating weight-training together with a jogging programme for heart and lungs. Further activities which proceed as a matter of course are fencing, karate, boxing, and weightlifting, as opposed to weight-training. The pleasant, clean environment of the gym, together with the good changing facilities have proven a boon to physical activities within the school. Stage two of the centre, an indoor-heated swimming pool is eagerly awaited.

SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES Assemblies have been held regularly on Mondays and Thursdays. Thursday Assemblies have been taken by a wide variety of speakers including the Principal, Deputy Principal, Vice Principal, Masters of the College, student groups and people from outside the school. This has meant that different approaches to religion and life have been expressed and this in itself has been a decided advantage because it means that many people share their views and experiences in their own personal manner. Speakers from outside have represented most churches and have, therefore, broadened our ecumenical understanding. One outstanding visit was by the Industrial Chaplain, the Rev. D. Longfield who shared some thrilling experiences with us.

Monday Assemblies have been taken by Prof. Watson and this has meant a continuous emphasis on certain themes which give relevance to religion and ethics. Interest in these themes has gone beyond the Assembly itself as students have sought further discussion at different times. Use has been made of a small booklet containing hymns selected by Mr. W. Martin. This has proved to be a valuable innovation. In addition to these Assemblies services have been held in St. David's Presbyterian Church at 9 a.m. on Sundays. These are being taken more seriously by the students. We believe these services and assemblies are important to the school, the staff, and the students, and who can say what their influence may be for the future ?
MATHEMATICS DEPT.
AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE
The programme initiated a few years ago is constantly under review because of changing student interests, abilities and backgrounds, and changing teacher's interests, capabilities and preferences. Each year's programme is altered to cope with these differences in teachers and students from year to year. The range of abilities represented in "intake" students is continuing to grow, due to different techniques, content and methods, etc., at the schools supplying the students to the Senior school. The proportion of students of lower mathematical achievement is also growing very rapidly, to the extent that a trained remedial teacher is now most urgently required. The Mathematics Staff are available for personal tuition from 3.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. 4 nights per week, but unfortunately this "unique" facility has not been used to advantage by weak students. There have been difficulties with the programme, such as stolen and incorrectly borrowed books, and lack of staff time to thoroughly prepare the diversity required to supply "individual" needs, but these are gradually being overcome. The strengths of this programme are the high student morale and the huge percentage of pupils wanting to choose maths at Form 5 levels (this latter "strength" can create problems). The Computer Terminal has been inoperative for almost a full term and so little work has been taken to it. During its short periods of useability, the terminal facility has been used for statistical analyses of Geography and Agricultural Science work, and for standardisation of internal marking and assessments. Problems at the Gordon Institute (repairs, alterations and additions to the Computer network) have been the cause of the terminal lying dormant, but by 1975 these should all be rectified.
During the year there was no Agricultural Science tour and a Forestry tour was held instead. The leaving classes have become very practical subjects with the emphasis on "do-it-yourself" over much of the courses. The basic concepts have been taught and the students then branch out to carry out assignment work. This also included more group discussions and aids such as the "Farm Game." The practical work was quite varied and included a good experiment to determine the growth of soy bean in Geelong. Our thanks must go to Mr. Patchett and also Rick Pyle and his crew for persevering with the details. The school computer was used to obtain the statistical information. The excursions were quite successful and included visits to the Codair Food Pellet plant, the Grain Elevator Board, and Pivot Fertilizers where we were given a good inspection of the soil laboratory by Mr. Crough. Mr. Banfield arranged a visit to the S. S. Cameron laboratory at the Werribee Research Farm and a fine talk by Mrs. Clark was a highlight of that excursion. Another interesting day was spent at the Bacchus Marsh Artificial Breeder's Cooperative, Mr. Cock's barley and sheep farm at Balliang and Mr. Mountjoy's mixed farm at Maude. This year will terminate the teaching of the old Agricultural Science course and the new Environmental Science course will take its place. The emphasis will be on broader concepts to suit both the urban and rural students. The "core" of the new course embraces the social, biological and managerial concepts which are then integrated in to all of the twelve "optional" units. Initially, at the College, the three units to be undertaken in 1975 will be the Plant and Animal Production units and the Land Conservation Unit as these are applicable to Agricultural Science. Later, other units will be able to be taken such as Recreation and Resources, Buildings and Materials, Forestry and many others to suit the student. It is considered that this new course will be a popular one and should give the student a huge scope of interests to choose from. It is interesting that the final examination is worth 60% of the total marks for the year and the other 40% of the marks are based on both assignments and a school assessment.
The Mathematics Centre, Computer Installation and the Forms 3 & 4 "individualised" programme have created great interest throughout educational spheres. Many people have written requesting assistance or advice and others have made visits to the centre to study the programme. The Education Dept. Curriculum & Research Branch was one such group, and a visual and written report was made of their visit. A. J. K. (For R. B. T.)

In Charge : Mrs. E. H. Wettenhall Committee : Wally Hunt (Calvert), Ian Garratt (Morrison), Clive Amery (Mackie), Angus Thorn (Shannon), Benjamin Ong (McArthur), Simon Brumby (Warrinn) During first term each House nominated a project which it wished to support for this year. For example; Calvert chose to support 'The Geelong Special School," Morrison the "Saint Vincent de Paul Society" and Shannon, "Geelong Family Welfare." "Casual dress days," when boys have paid 20c in order to wear casual dress to school, have been held again this year to raise money for these organisations : They have proved highly popular and financially successful. Other fund raising activities have included a "Mr. Geelong College" contest organized by Calvert. This year the contestants were required to drink great quantities of "Noddies" soft drinks. Each House had a representative who was sponsored a certain amount for every cup he drank. Gary Preston held down the most cups (about 30 we think, although in the excitement and confusion, checking was difficult). Morrison House held a highly successful and entertaining Karate exhibition, with the help of an Old Collegian, David Aingimea, and other karate students.

About eight dollars was raised at a concert given by members of Mackie House. Mackie boys also helped at the Karingal fete in May. Boys from the school have participated in a Door Knock appeal for Red Cross in March, for Austcare in June, for the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal in July, and for the Freedom from Hunger Campaign in September. This help came mainly from boarders, and was greatly appreciated by the organizers of the appeals. The closing down of the Cadet Unit saw the introduction of "Outside Activities" held on various days during the term and during the last week of second term. Boys who chose to work on Social Service projects on these occasions have worked at places such as Grace McKellar House, Shannon Park Spastic Centre and at local kindergartens. Mr. White's extra curricular activities woodwork group has also been helping Shannon Park by making special toys and equipment for use at the Centre. As funds accumulated, the Committee was very pleased to be able to send fifty dollars to each of the following organizations : The Salvation Army Tally Ho Boys' Village The Victorian Autistic Children's Association The Epilepsy Social Welfare Foundation
Staff: Mrs. J. G. Wood, Miss J. Honman, Mrs. R. J. Gibson Council : I. D. Johnston (Chairman), P. G. Jenkins (Secretary), R. P. Kearney, M. E. Douglas, P. J. Batt, R-. N. Everist, P. J. Richards Committee : T. T. Bracher, B. R. Bickerstaff, G. S. Matthews, R. G. Van Cooten, M. Gray-Thompson, J. B. Richardson, P. R. B. Dunn, L. W. Mitchell Once a new expanded library has been installed the demand "for its services usually increases. The George Morrison Library is no exception, particularly this year in the area of the Audio Visual Department where Mrs. Gibson has been needed almost full time. Mrs. Wood was missed during second term while she enjoyed her well deserved long service leave in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, and although she visited some outstanding school libraries in America, she has returned with an optimistic view of the role of the George Morrison Library and its supporting services.
During Mrs. Woods' absence the school was extremely fortunate in having Mrs. Macmillan join the staff, and with her help, the voluntary assistance of Mrs. Cedric Carr, the Council and the Committee, the library has functioned well. Without the work of the Committee to do much of the mending and processing of materials, and the Council to promote ideas, the services of the library would be much more limited. In second term a visiting English children's authoress talked to the boys and staff about her books—Mrs. Violet Bibby has written three historical novels, The Mirrored Shield, The Wildling and Saranne, and her involvement with history and her imaginary characters proved fascinating listening. More recently Chris Penna gave a very informative talk on his experiences in the Outward Bound movement in Europe and explained the organization of the movement. He has since become involved in the Outward Bound movement in Canberra. This year the library has been very fortunate in receiving gifts of books from many people. It is not only the work of the library staff, but the added interest and support of these extra people that enables the library to serve the people within the school community more efficiently.

Hopkins, who are resident House Masters in Rolland House. Mr. Connor has been teaching in Fifth Grade and Mr. Hopkins has charge of English in First Form. After a period overseas Mr. Keary has returned and we were pleased to welcome him back to take Latin at the Prep. Mr. Murphy has oversight of the language work at the Prqp and this year he has been ably assisted by Mrs. Wettenhall who has taken French in First Form. Mrs. Swanson and Mr. Bell leave us after several years at the Prep. Having enjoyed their fellowship so greatly it is not ea§y to say farewell. Both have contributed in ways which have not always been realised but have made our school so much more effective. Mrs. Booth has been most helpful in the office and has ensured the smooth running of the school in her efficient way. We wish her well as she returns to Melbourne.

To live together for the school year is a challenge and the ability to compromise personal desires and community needs is often the greatest lesson of all. Activities have included : Picnic at Pt. Addis, Films, Cricket at M.C.G., Bike Rally, Concert, At Home for Day boys, B.B.Q. and Canoeing at Buckley Falls. This year we farewell Mrs. Swanson who has been "mother" to us for the past four years. We say "Thank You" for the concern and interest shown to all and wish her every happiness.

Co-Education We have come to the end of the year when co-education began. The beginning with a small group of girls at Campbell House has pointed to a bright future as girls become involved in classes throughout the school from 1975 onwards. The Prep is proud to have had the privilege of being involved with the very beginning of co-education at Geelong College. On this subject, most of the building activities at the Prep have been concerned with the needs of co-education. Fine alterations and additions have been made at Campbell House. The result has been further large, airy and bright classrooms. The builders have now started on the additions to the area beneath the Science Laboratory which will provide for our needs when girls continue through the school as from next year. Women's Auxiliary The ladies of the Prep and Campbell House have had an active year. The Prep Women's Auxiliary was under the leadership of Mrs. D. Hurley and the Campbell House Auxiliary had as their President, Mrs. B. Armstrong. Interesting and varied meetings were held through the year. Harrietville That's what we still call it. Actually we went to Wandiligong Methodist Youth Centre this year. The programme was almost the same however and it was a most successful excursion.

Special Services The Easter Service this year was outstanding. Boys were involved in the dramatic portrayal of the Easter Story as well as in the Choir. Simply but effectively the story took on great meaning. On other occasions the choir have participated in services at St. David's, either singing alone or combined with the Senior School Choir. Social Service Giving has continued to be generous. Boys of the Prep were involved in collecting for the Freedom From Hunger Fund and one form staged a Run-a-Thon which raised over $100 for the same cause. Casual Dress days have boosted the giving to various organisations. Grounds and Buildings The major work this year was the painting of the swimming pool. This was a complex undertaking. The pool had not been emptied before. After pumping out the water using special marine equipment, heavy rain made three extra pumpings necessary. Lines for lanes were added when painting this time and a theodolite had to be used to make sure the lines were straight as they extended over the curved deeper end. The lines there had to be wider too to allow for refraction by the water. And when all was ready the pool was filled and the task of filtering the muddy water and restoring the chemical balance was undertaken. It now looks first class thanks to all concerned. Work has been done in the changing room and in Rolland House to make it possible for swimmers to have access to facilities when the school is closed. The Newtown Council have bought from the school the land adjoining the river. Recently a fence was erected along the periphery thus making our grounds entirely enclosed by cyclone fencing. Assemblies These have been quite varied. Mr. Bell, Mr. Thwaites and Professor Watson have regularly inspired us as they led us in morning worship. This year has been significant because each week a class has been responsible for the Thursday assemblies. There has been great interest in the variety of subjects presented.

Clark The Geelong College P.O. Box 5, Geelong, 3220 'Phone (052) 21 1939 Each year the Old Geelong Collegians' Association is invited by the Principal to participate in the Valedictory Dinner which is the school's farewell to those leaving. The occasion is also the Association's welcome to its new members. The dinner is followed by a meeting of school leavers so that the implications of their new status may be explained by O.G.C.A. representatives. The objects and organisation of the Association are described, but it is recognised that the occasion is inappropriate for long and detailed discussion. The objects of the Association are simple— they are : 1. to promote the welfare of The Geelong College, 2. to foster good fellowship among Old Boys.
The way in which these objects are achieved is a complex system which has developed over the seventy-three years of the Association's history and is still developing to meet the changing times. The extent to which the Association succeeds is determined largely by an understanding of its aims and structure by its individual members. Naturally, it is the newest members who are least knowledgeable, and who want to know : 1. How do I become a member? 2. Where do I fit into the organisation ? 3. How can I help ? The answers to these broad questions are set out here especially for reference in the near future .for new members of the Association. 1. HOW DO I BECOME A MEMBER? This question is answered in Article 3 (a) of the Constitution, which reads : "Eligibility for membership:
105-74
Every Old Boy who has attended The Geelong College Preparatory School or Senior School for at least two school terms shall be a member of the Association, . . . " There is a further sub-paragraph—3 (c)— which is quite important, as this proceeds one step further and sets out the way in which an Old Collegian may become a financial member of the Association. It reads : "Financial members : Any contribution by an Old Boy to The Geelong College through The Geelong College Building Fund shall make him a financial member of the Association. Such a contribution shall entitle the financial member to enjoy all the rights and privileges of financial membership of the Association for the calendar year in which the contribution was made. . . ." In other words, there is no specific annual subscription rate. Instead, each Old Collegian is invited to contribute to the College Building Fund an amount each year which he decides upon. The amount does not have to be specified in advance and may vary from year to year. 2. WHERE DO I FIT INTO THE ORGANISAATION ? Year Groups—Each member of the Association is allocated to a Year Group. The Year Group for any year comprises all Old Boys of the College who entered Senior School (Third form) in that year or (in the case of an Old Boy who entered the College at some other level) who would have entered Senior School in that year. Members of a Year Group, therefore, are those who were in the same form-group as they progressed through Senior School. The date of leaving bears no relevance. Those who leave school from sixth form this year will be members of the 1971 Year Group. Those who leave from fifth form this year will be members of the 1972 Year Group. Branches—There are also several Branches of the Association and wherever possible Old Boys are entered as members of the Branch (and, in some cases, Branches) in the district in which they live. In Victoria and southern New South Wales there are eleven Branches. There are Branches in the state capitals and liaison is maintained with Old Collegians in the United Kingdom. There are Old Collegians in many parts of the world, including such places as Malaysia, Israel, Nauru, Tanzania, South Africa, South America and, closer to home, in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Obviously the numbers in these places are not sufficient to warrant the formation of a Branch but contact is maintained in various ways.
106-74
"Ad Astra"—This is the College newsletter which is published twice each year, in March and September. All Old Boys whose addresses are known, together with other members of the College family, receive a copy of each issue of "Ad Astra." For the first two years after he leaves school an Old Boy receives a copy of "Pegasus," and after that he may continue to receive copies by completing an order form each year. It is through "Ad Astra," however, that the Association maintains a permanent link with Old Collegians wherever they may live. Contact—The Association, therefore, has three main links with Old Collegians : The Year Groups—which link Old Boys of a contemporary age, The Branches—which link Old Boys geographically, "Ad Astra"—which reaches beyond the barriers of age and geography to bring news of the College and of the Association to Old Boys whatever their age or wherever they may be. There is regular and constant contact through each of these three channels. "Ad Astra" is mailed twice each year. Most Branches hold regular re-union gatherings. Year Chairmen keep in touch with members of their group by personal contact when this is possible, by personal newsletters and, at times, by organising year Group re-union functions which are often held in conjunction with those in adjacent years. 3. HOW CAN I HELP ? This is a personal question which has to be answered personally. The fact is that the Association would not have flourished as it has if the individual members of which it is formed did not take an active interest in its affairs. There are many opportunities for direct participation as members of such bodies as the general committee, year committees and branch committees. All these organs of the Association need and welcome all who want to help. Support for the many activities and functions of the Association is, however, at once the simplest and most important help an Old Boy can give. Attendance at branch or year re-unions, for example, is doubly rewarding because such occasions are so enjoyable in themselves and because good attendance makes the work of the organisers worthwhile. The long history of Association support of the College is something to be proud of. In no small way, the future of the College depends upon the support it receives from those with a belief in what it stands for. Isolated individuals can do little : a strong, close-knit and well-organised band united in a common cause can do much.
