It is not without considerable sadness that I write my page for the 1994 edition of "Pegasus" because it will be the final one in my career at the College. As the College community will know, I have accepted an invitation to become Headmaster of Melbourne Grammar School and I will take up that appointment in Term 3 of 1995. In making the decision to accept the invitation, there were a multitude of factors to be considered, not least of which was the outstanding opportunity I had been given by the Council of the College to lead this great school. There is an optimum time for any Head in a school. Some might suggest that my time has not been long enough but, when I look at what we as a community have achieved in the past nine years, I feel very proud for the institution. BUILDING DEVELOPMENTS The additions to the fabric of the school have been an outstanding success in terms of the resources that are now available to both the students and the staff, and Council now boldly takes up the challenge of continuing the provision of the sorts of facilities that are first-rate. My departure will see no halt to the exciting program that has been mapped out in the Strategy Review and there is no doubt that we shall see the College go from strength to strength. COMMUNITY RELATIONS The vitalising of College development activities through the Community Relations office does nothing to diminish the achievements of the past but Ms Maria Smith and her team have built on the solid foundation and have taken the College to the next level in terms of the way in which it presents itself to the community. 1995 marks the 21st birthday of co-education at the College and a remarkable series of activities has been planned for the year, highlighted by Carnival 2 in March, a series of dinners throughout the year, a nationwide Conference entitled "Synergy in Relationships", and a gala

Foundation Concert that will help to stamp the College's reputation as the leading co-educational school in the country. MORONGO We were saddened deeply by the demise of our sister school, Morongo Girls' College. The College and Morongo, since its foundation in 1920, have enjoyed a positive and fruitful relationship as brother/sister schools and it was with deep regret that we noted its inability to continue as a viable entity past the end of 1994. Whilst it was not possible to indulge in a merger of the two institutions, we at the College have offered generous conditions for the transition of those Morongo parents who wish to send their daughters to the College. At the time of writing this page, it is evident that we shall accept more than one hundred girls who were enrolled at Morongo and we look forward to assimilating them into the College and welcoming them to our fine school. There will be challenges for both communities in coming to terms with this sudden influx but I have great confidence that the maturity and sense of responsibility of both communities will help ease the transition. Already the work undertaken by senior staff to reorganise the school at late notice has been remarkable. We look forward to having the Morongo girls with us and we recognise the responsibility that we undertake in providing for them as exciting a package of education as they would wish for. In this school, we are committed to preparing our young people for a future beyond the school. Not sufficient is it for us to shepherd these guardians of tomorrow through their schooling; we want to ensure that they will take a vigorous and responsible role in shaping the future of this nation. STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT A page like this would not be complete without some comment about student achievement and it is with no small measure of pride that I can report on another year filled with quite remarkable performances. On the sporting field, at the highest level in each field, our summer sporting representatives in rowing, cricket and tennis covered themselves with glory, and our softball team showed continued improvement; throughout the winter, performances in football, hockey and cross country were topped only by a Premiership and Championship in girls' netball, leading the table in girls' basketball, and a victory as the champion school at the Australian Fencing Titles. In athletics there were some outstanding individual performances with numerous records broken and a very creditable finish to the competition in both the boys' and girls' events at the Combined Sports. Our major College productions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in the Senior School and "Space Demons" and "The Little Prince" at the Preparatory School were the equal in flair and quality of those of any other year. Music came to an outstanding climax with a splendid Foundation Concert towards the end of Term 3 and debating performances in open competition were amongst the best that the school has ever recorded. These major events, allied with the myriad of other activities, formed a quite dazzling kaleidoscope that is the envy of many other schools.

NEW INITIATIVES FOR 1995 The development of the outdoor education program from Year 4 to Year 8 sees the 1995 cohort of Year 9 students spending a week at Wollangarra in the Great Dividing Range north of Traralgon. The basis of the experience of Wollangarra will be to develop some sort of spiritual sympathy with our environment and it will be interesting for the 1994 Year 8 students to compare and contrast the challenge of their Year 8 adventure with Outward Bound in November of this year with their Year 9 experience at Wollangarra in March of next year. The eventual aim is for the College to have its own site in the country and, given the resources, that aim will be achieved in the shortest time possible. We look forward to the opening of the new Art/Craft Centre at the Preparatory School which will allow a muchneeded expansion of library facilities and, positioned as it is on the brow of the hill overlooking Queen's Park and the Western Plains, it must surely be a most inspiring setting for any budding artist. STAFF We shall be sad to lose some staff at the end of this year. In terms of length of service, Mr Robert Wells leads the field by some margin. His contribution as a Woodwork master is unparalleled. His devotion to the students and his insistence on quality have always been hallmarks of his work within the College. After 20 years of outstanding service, he takes a well-earned retirement and we wish him every happiness. Mr John Geale who, with his family, has been with us for 1994 on exchange will return to his homeland of Canada and we take this opportunity of wishing him and his family "bon voyage" at the same time as welcoming our Mr Paul Conway back to the College from his year in Canada. 1994 has marked the retirement of two members of the non-teaching staff, too: the Catering Manager, Miss June Sturzaker, who first joined the College staff in 1957, and the Property Manager, Mr Ray Deans, who was appointed in 1962.1 am hesitant to say this but I remember them when I was a schoolboy at the College! Both of them have distinguished themselves with unstinting service to the College and there will be many who will be sad to see them go. They have done everything to earn a rest and, in the one breath, we thank them sincerely and we wish them long life and good health. There are other members of staff who will leave us at the end of the year, also, and I want to thank them sincerely for their loyalty to the school and for their singular contributions.

CONCLUSION I conclude this report by offering my sincere gratitude to the Council, the staff, the students and the parents for their unswerving loyalty throughout 1994 and, indeed throughout my career at the College. It will be a sad day in 1995 when we leave but I can say, in all honesty, that a part of me will always remain at the College and I will be forever interested in its fortunes. MR A.P. SHEAHAN Mr Paul Sheahan with Dr Jean McCaughey and Mr Garnet Fielding on Speech Day.

From the Head of the Senior School, the Vice-Principal, Mr John Gilson As 1994, the "Year of the Family" draws to a close, I would like to reflect upon the aspect of College life which closely relates to family Our family or pastoral care unit is the tutorial group within the House. Any system of pastoral care within a school must attempt to balance the need for the provision of security and friendship with the challenges that will help equip students for the adult world that awaits them. The challenges that students face are well known. They are intellectual, as they struggle to cope with their studies; physical, as they strive for success on the sporting field; artistic, as they try to stimulate yet control their expression in art, music and drama and the emotional challenge of learning to develop relationships with the many different people, both young and old, who make up our school community. Our House system attempts to provide this security and I would like to thank the Heads of House and Tutors, both Day and Boarding, for the enormous amount of energy and time that they expend in order to create the gentle but disciplined atmosphere that is evident within the school. It is this atmosphere that provides students with the security necessary to meet the challenges of their education. While reflecting upon the significant events in 1994, I would like to comment upon some that may not receive mention in other parts of the magazine. The introduction of notebook computers into the Senior School and the use of a common software package has proved to be very successful. Students now have access to computers in any classroom and can work on their assignments at school and at home without the difficulties of having to deal with different software. Inter-House competitions always cause a lot of interest amongst students and it was particularly pleasing to see the way students were involved in their organisation this year. As well as providing interest and friendly competition, each of these activities provides excellent leadership opportunities for students. The fact that senior students play a significant role in the adjudication of House Debating is one of the reasons for the improvement in the standard of debating throughout the school. House Music is always a trying time for Heads of House and Tutors as they try to cope with the logistics of organising the House for rehearsals and the difficult task of encouraging students to sing. Shannon, with the assistance of some very talented musicians, provided three excellent items and were obvious winners this year. It was pleasing to note the effort that all Houses made and the quality of the items continues to improve.

I am sure that the Year 12 students and their parents will never forget Amelia Johns' brilliant speech as she proposed the Toast to Year 12 on Valedictory Day. The School Captain, David Neal, responded with the aplomb that we have learnt to expect from him. I would like to conclude by thanking the School Captain, the two Vice-Captains, the Prefects, the House Captains and House Prefects for their service and leadership throughout the year. As well as acting as excellent role models to younger students they have worked tirelessly to make the school the caring and positive place that we all love so much. MR J. GILSON

From the Head of the Preparatory School, Mr Peter Hughes 1994 has been the International Year of the Family, and it has given us many opportunities to think about families, and about how rich our lives are because of the love, support and challenge which comes from being part of a family. There are many kinds of families. The people who are related to us form one kind of family. But as well as these families, most of us have special friends who we regard as 'part of the family', and there are other groups of people to which we belong that can be 'families' to us also. Our family is where we feel at home. It is the place of security, acceptance and love that we all need. Families nurture us and help us to grow. Our families should give comfort and strength during unhappy times, and they should bring us joy and laughter too. Our school has been a good family during this year. It has been a challenging place. There have been academic challenges through the classroom program, and through activities like the Science Talent Search, Living Poet's Society competition, Alliance Francaise competition, Mathematics Talent Search, eisteddfods, the Solar Car Challenge, and many more. Our sporting program has been more diverse than ever, with competitive soccer introduced, and basketball growing in strength. The traditional summer sports like tennis, softball, cricket and swimming, and winter sports like hockey, netball and football have been enthusiastically supported. Our athletes, fencers, underwater hockey players and canoeists have always brought credit, and occasionally distinction, to themselves and to our school. There have been challenges in the outdoor education program too, not the least being the Outward Bound venture for Year 8 students in the Otway Ranges. In this activity students were challenged physically by the sheer hard work of carrying a full backpack, they were challenged by the demands of planning, navigating, building social relationships and by the need to take responsibility for themselves and others in frequently adverse conditions. In performance opportunities like The Little Prince, the Year 6 Expo, Space Demons, music evenings and in assemblies, our students have been challenged and affirmed. Students have been given important responsibilities, and they have carried these responsibilities through, ultimately with considerable satisfaction and pride. There have been difficult times in our school year. Sometimes friends have let us down, and sometimes we have let them down. Sometimes sadness has come into our lives through the

misfortune, sickness or death of those we love. Sometimes things have happened to us which we couldn't control, but which hurt us. In these times, understanding teachers and caring friends have been a great comfort. There have been times of great happiness too: funny stories, camp concerts, drama presentations, mix ups and tricks. Babies have been born to members of staff, and new friendships have grown among students and their parents. As you read your Pegasus for 1994 and remember some of the things that have happened this year, think about the Year of the Family, and the wonderful things our school family brings us. It is something to cherish. MR P.J. HUGHES

SCHOOL CAPTAIN'S ADDRESS DAVID NEAL'S SPEECH DAY ADDRESS I come from a generation altogether unfamiliar with war, many forms of sacrifice and much of the inequality and prejudice of previous ages. I have enjoyed, as most of the students here today have enjoyed, the comfort of a peaceful nation. We have received, or are receiving, an excellent education, support, encouragement, opportunities which promise a hopeful future and the type of intellectual freedom which inevitably leads to progress and growth. Yet whilst we have been protected from many of the hardships endured by those before us, so too have we escaped their lessons. My generation cannot expect, therefore, to have the answers or even to fully understand current world conflict and nor can we be confident that such conflict will never arise again. Thankfully, just as the turmoil facing the world today was brought about by hands other than our own, so too shall its solution. The responsibility, at least for the moment, is someone else's. I think the time must come, however, when it is the students who will walk out through these gates this afternoon, some of them for the last time, who shall inherit the responsibility of leadership. As voters, captains of industry, politicians or high profile individuals, we will all share a part of the responsibility. We must also accept, therefore, the obligation and the blame. The challenges we will face will be testing and some of them will be beyond our intellect and will to overcome. And yet I believe that it is worthwhile to reflect, today particularly, on the part which this school plays in inspiring a social conscience and a commitment to something greater than ourselves. Knowledge has traditionally represented power, however, education - as distinct from pure knowledge - is increasingly becoming true strength. And it is perhaps only a co-operation between the two which can oppose the prejudices which many of us believe to be the single largest threat to a unified world. The Geelong College, and schools like it, represent an investment in knowledge and in education and, therefore, an investment in this new world

view. After all, it stands to reason that we cannot hope to create before we have learned to believe and we can never change for the better before we have come to understand that which has passed before us. As the children of the technological era which brought nuclear warfare, over-population and pollution, we will no doubt be called upon to sacrifice the short-term in favour of the long. Not all of these ordeals and not all of this damage can be faced within the framework of our country or generation. But much of it could be. And that is the task which lies before us. A forest, such as those currently destroyed in South America, requires 800 years to reach maturity and yet in our society an idea which spans a decade is defined as visionary. In the future, however, we will be asked to combine the conviction of the idealist with the sober realism of the pragmatist and we will have to do it. To this end, the students of The Geelong College, in addition to the academic, are inspired as sportsmen and women, as debaters, actors, artists and musicians. A fact to which the successes of 1994 attest. And as this year draws to a close, I am grateful for the fact that whatever causes I might take up and whatever rule I might use as a measure of personal success, I have been given challenges and support which have allowed me to grow strong from victory and to learn from failure. I have no doubt that similar opportunities and the same environment await the Prefects, Vice-Captains and School Captain of 1995, to whom I extend my congratulations and faith. I know that Penny Heard, Fiona Nelson, Katharine Davis and Ben Knight will lead the student body well through the transitions of next year. As this is Mr Sheahan's final speech Day, it is also the last time the assembled College community can collectively acknowledge his outstanding contribution to every aspect of this school. In thanking you Mr Sheahan, it is very difficult to do justice to the passion, vision and dedication which all of us have come to associate with your leadership. DAVID NEAL

The Little Mermaid The little mermaid, called Fiona, was swimming by herself when she found a baby mermaid. She took it home and showed her parents the baby. They washed and fed the baby mermaid and took very good care of it. They called it Annie. The m u m and dad's names were Peta and Gordon. When the little mermaid and Annie were little they played together. Chasey was their favourite game. Fiona became Annie's big sister. When Fiona went to school, Annie cried because she loved her sister so much. Every holiday she played with her sister and when the baby mermaid grew up she had children of her own. FIONA HARTEN

There were three children. Their names were Annie, Kate and James. It was Easter. Their m u m and dad's names were Judy and Brian. It was night time. The kids stayed up on the verandah with their quilt. Then Easter Bunny came. He had big ears and a red nose and big toes. He was too busy putting 50 eggs down to see the children watching him. Then daytime came. The kids went to find the eggs. They found all 50 eggs and shared them with their m u m and dad. They decided they will do the same next Easter and they did. ANNIE CALDER

Sam's Book

Once upon a time there were some wonderpants. They were Jack's underpants. He looked for his underpants. Jack had two mice. They ate the underpants. Mum got the mice out of the underpants. "Mum, I'm out of underpants," said Jack. Mum made Jack some new underpants. Jack's mice ate them.

I have four trains in my house. These are: 1. Train one - it has a snow plough. It is black, red and blue. It pushes snow. 2. Train two - the Little Diesel. It is a shunter. It is black and green. It pushes lots of trains that have a leaking tank. 3. Train three - it is a steam train, too old to use. Trains become too old and don't work very well. 4. Train four - the Express Line Diesel. It pulls lots of coaches.

Plesiosaurus The Plesiosaurus was not a dinosaur but was a swimming reptile. Plesiosaurus means almost a lizard. The plesiosaurus was twelve metres long. It had strong limbs like paddles. Some of the plesiosaurus had long rubbery necks but not all of them. The young hatched from eggs. The shell saved the egg from drying. The yoke was food for the embryo. The egg had a hard leathery shell. ALEXANDRA GIBSON We went up to Year 8 to finish our clay fossils. We cooked our fossils and mine exploded. I only have very small pieces because we cooked it for too long. We all had to wear glasses to protect our eyes. But I had a lot of fun with the Year 8s.

Fun and Fitness Day

Serendip Sanctuary

We were lucky because the weather was fine. We did lots of different things like tennis, football, T-ball, basketball, street jam and an obstacle course. At the end we had a healthy lunch. I know everyone had a good time.

When we got to Serendip Sanctuary, Chris the ranger showed us around. We looked at lots of Australian animals and birds. After lunch we went to the pond and caught some mini beasts. We looked at them under the microscope. It was very interesting.

Our class has done many interesting things this year. In first term we had a Multicultural Dress-Up Day, when we wore national costumes and ate international foods. On our hobby day, we showed each other our favourite hobbies, and learnt about some of the hobbies our parents and grandparents had. Our excursion in second term was a great day. We visited Coles in Bay City Plaza, where we saw how orange juice and bread are made, how butchers work (yuk!) and how refrigeration helps keep food fresh (brrrr!!). We had a tour of the Library and the Art Gallery, and had pizza for lunch (yum!). We went to St. John of God Hospital, where Paul was a pretend patient. We also visited T.O.T. Pizza, Owen Crowl, Dr. Brink's surgery and Gull Air Service. In second term we were all very busy working on 'The Little Prince'. Many of the Year 3s had important roles in the play. Mr McKie even had to sing. It was a tremendous success (the play, not the singing!). In Term 3, we went to a football clinic at Kardinia Park. Several AFL players were there, including Gavin Brown and Garry Lyon. Richard and Joel B. got a footy We learnt lots of different skills, including handball and marking. Some mums came to school and helped us learn how to clean and polish our shoes, sew on buttons, darn socks, tie neckties, wrap presents and boil eggs. Some of us didn't get the ties quite right (including the teacher!). Some liked their eggs hard, and others runny. We will be learning some more skills in fourth term. In third term we went to the Dinosaur Park at Creswick with Year 2 0 . In fourth term, we will be having our Sleepover.

Everyone in 4/5B has a district of Victoria that they are in charge of and each week we meet to discuss matters about our districts. This is called Parliament. We also have scandals about various members of Parliament. In August we each visited the Parliament of an overseas country. We wrote a seven day diary, a letter back to our own Parliament and gave a speech about our trip including our expenses. Parliament is a very interesting subject. STEVEN JONES, MEG TORPEY and JONATHAN MITCHELL

In Term 1 we read 'Boss of the Pool'. It was about a disabled boy and the unfair treatment he got from others. It gave us the message that disabled people are just as good as anyone else. In Term 2 we visited the Barwon Valley School, where all the children are disabled in some way. It was worthwhile finding out how different their lives are to ours and what extra facilities they need that we don't even think about.

In 4/5B we designed a Fun Park for children. We could put anything in the Park that we wanted. For instance, Claire put in a huge, free toy shop. Evan had a mini-submarine. Amy had a snow room. Many others had a time warp. We had to measure the area of each section of the park. It was great fun.

The Gift In the ocean, the fish play in the waves, And the whales swim strong and free, In the ocean, the sea-horse is so brave, And the dolphin frolics in the sea. In the forests, the trees grow big and tall, And the wombat grazes peacefully. In the forests, the mood is quiet and calm With a stream flowing gently by.

In the mountains, the air is pure and clean, And the pygmy-possum's free to roam. In the mountains, the cliffs and peaks are high, And all the animals have a home. In the cities, the people walk in parks, And the shrubs and flowers bloom for years. But the people begin to show no care, Do we just sit back and shed our tears? 6D Mr & Mrs Okayama's Visit

Embarrassed I hand Anna the microphone. The music has already started and I can see Dannie dancing in the wings. I start dancing myself. Then Anna says my name. Whether I like it or not I have to start walking. Down the stairs Sophie walks and I walk with her. Anna is still describing our outfits. She is doing better than at the rehearsals. I still cannot lift my head. Everyone is watching. Claire and Dannie are coming down. Anna is still talking. I get back to the bottom of the catwalk. Stop and blow a kiss. STOP Kate!! STOP!! But I don't. I keep walking. Kate, push the door, push out. I get to the door - but I pull. Finally, I push. I run all the way to our meeting spot. It's over! KATE SEWARD

MAKING A BIVVY STEP ONE: Find two trees close together and clear any rough things away e.g. rocks, sticks.

STEP SIX: Take the string that is tied around your grass ball, then take a stick and tie the string around the stick. Then push the stick into the ground.

STEP TWO: Tie a long string between both trees.

STEP SEVEN: Make sure you have designed it so the water runs off, if it rains.

STEP THREE: Take your bivvy (a clear piece of plastic) and place it over the string.

STEP EIGHT: Place the ground sheet on the ground under your bivvy

STEP FOUR: Pull some grass from the ground and squash it into a ball.

LLOYD DAVIES

STEP FIVE: Get the grass ball, take a corner, go in about ten centimetres and push the grass ball from underneath up so you can wrap some of the sheet around it. Then take a piece of string and tie it around the grass ball so it can't fall out. Do this to all four corners

Allfit Allf it is great, Come and join me mate, The high ropes are fun, Let's go for a run. We stayed there for a week, At night we played Hide and Orienteering was hard, We had to put marks on a card.

DORMS - An Allfit Interpretation! At last we arrived after our four hour trip. We all settled in but I think that we were fairly disappointed because the kitchen was 8km away and we weren't allowed to go on the bus (because it was filled with all of the teachers). We had to walk 8km to breakfast and 8km back (and when we got back we were hungry again), the same with lunch and dinner (I guess that it really was an ALL FIT camp). And as for the toilets they must have been at least 2 km away. The second that you felt the urge you had to get moving (very quickly or else!). ROBERT CRITTENDEN

Through the gorge we took a walk, At night we went for a stalk, When we had to go, We felt so-so. JORDANA CLARK

YearTN There was a young lad called Robert, Who as a leg spinner would cop it. "No worries," he'd say, As he was struck away They go out whenever I lob it. There was a young man we called Dave, Who was certainly nobody's slave. When your name's up in lights, As an actor in tights, Remember, Dave, give us a wave. "My name's Lucy Mills!" said a lady, "And to work hard, I'm not afraidy! I can run like a deer! I can think, have no fear! But I'm a lady so please nothing shady!" There was a young girl called Anita, Who in class sat away from the heater. In French she'd not speak Much louder than squeak, But in computer, no one could beat her. There was a young lady called Emma, Whose life was in a dilemma, "Shall I study or travel? What mystery unravel? Oh when will the world feel my tremor?" There was a young man called Chris, Who always had trouble with lists. As our only boarder, In the midst of disorder, Our door was the first thing he fixed. There was a young man we called Sarge, Another heart's never been so large. In the sandwich of life You're the bread, I'm the knife, But Richard's the jam and the marj. There was a young girl we called Demo, Who wanted to be a great journo. But her writing was horrid! "No it's not! Don't look worried! My style's as sleek as a Renault!"

The Thought

The Cyclops

His black dogs and horse Come close and closer One step at a time, One dog starts to whine, His horse gives a snort, I'm trapped in this thought. The man starts to smile I'm in some sort of trial . . . . It's terrifying . . . . I'm scared I can't get out I call for help No one can hear me! I hear the man murmuring Then laughing with glee. Only twenty metres Now eighteen I know it's only a dream But One step at a time, One dog starts to whine, The horse gives a snort I'm still trapped in this thought The man starts to smile Nooooooooo!

In the middle of the sea lies an island, In the middle of the island is a cave, In the middle of the cave lies a creature, An old, shaggy, one-eyed creature. I am the cyclops One eyed man-eater, Jaws of death Teeth of pain, Eye of evil Hands of strength, Here I wait For men to pass, Go inside And meet your death! BEN WILLIAMS

In this dreadful maze Your wits can be erased. Within the walls there is a beast Just waiting to feast On human flesh. Its prey thresh, When they are caught Many have fought This terrible thing. With black shiny wings And gloating yellow eyes None have won the fight. As evil triumphs over light Minos keeps the evil fed But watch now, for Here comes Theseus with his thread. NICHOLAS PEARCE

Year 8J This year has had highs and lows, And I have made friends and foes, 'Like what?', I hear you ask, Well the Country Study, that was a hard task, But that's not all. We also had an 8J Assembly and an 8J Chapel, In English we did lots of work on the Convict's Daughter, Personally, I think the author we should slaughter! In PE we learned how to play lots of sports, Mainly the ones that are played on courts. In Maths we're making a hot air balloon And it should be finished very soon. In French we learned about French food And how to dress like a real dude. In Science we've learned all about fossils, And in CARE we've learned all about the Apostles. In Art we made some abstract creatures, And created stone sculptures with ugly features. I'm looking forward to Outward Bound And I'm sure everybody will return safe and sound. Over all, it's been a great year And I don't think next year will be any better.

Nothing gold can stay! The rainforest trees stand tall and strong, As the destructive chopping still goes on. The men with their axes stand beside, Soon all rainforest trees will have died. The stumps lie small pointing to the sky, Every log has a faint, small cry. The trucks drive off, that's it for the day, Nothing gold can stay. CAMPBELL FERGUSON

Gold- a response to the film 'The Outsiders' Gold, gold, it's everyone's wish, women who work, men who fish, children who play, happy today, gold is what they want as pay.

MACKIE HOUSE HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr C. Considine MATRON: Mrs A. Vile TUTORS: Mr J. Geale, Mr G. Smith, Mr S. Bowers (Terms 3 & 4), Mr J. Roland (Terms 1 & 2), Mr G. McDonald HOUSE CAPTAIN: Charles Baulch HOUSE PREFECTS: Stuart Peat (Vice-Captain), James Taylor, Jonas Lea, Thomas Paton This year has been yet another eventful one in the tradition of Mackie House. 1994 has seen the Mackie boys involved in a vast range of activities, from the last Morongo trivia night and netball day, to the regular double wicket cricket tournament which has become part of the Mackie tradition. The year started with the traditional beach trip on the first weekend, and with the girls from Mossgiel we ventured to Torquay; however, the less than desirable weather somewhat dampened the whole affair. This trip was a good opportunity for the new boys entering Mackie to settle and adjust to the Mackie lifestyle, and for the new duty staff: Mr Smith, Mr Geale (who is on exchange from Canada), and Mr Bowers who have joined us this year, to gain a glimpse of what life in Mackie is like. The mid-year departure of Mr Jonathon Roland, who gave the boarding house two years' service as the resident master, saw the introduction of Mr McDonald to Mackie, and already he has made his mark on the House, with his cycling enthusiasm managing to inspire some Mackie boys to regularly participate in the sport. Inter-House sporting events have again played an important role within Mackie this year, with the inaugural Mackie House Swimming Sports at the Prep. School one Friday night followed by a sausage sizzle. It seems that each year we introduce another activity which keeps all boys' minds and bodies occupied on the weekends. Double wicket cricket once again proved a highlight for most boys this year, and as usual it contained its fair share of excitement and controversy, with the eventual winners being Ben Barr and Bowen Lockwood who defeated Campbell Morgan and Pete Howie. The Urbans-Rurals football match showed the supremacy of the Rurals who gave the Urbans an absolute bath and gained revenge for the back-to-back losses of the past two years. Not even the somewhat dubious umpiring decisions were enough to give the Urbans a much needed boost, and it seems the early training program organised for the Rurals, by the selfannounced Captain, Laurie Aitken, will give them the advantage in the rematch next year. The closure of Morongo was the low point of the year. Our year started with the regular Morongo social, followed by a trivia night and a netball tournament, which were very much appreciated by all who took part in these activities. Other activities which have been arranged on weekends included a trip to the Werribee Zoo for the Years 7, 8 and 9, a surfing trip to Torquay for the Mackie Skegs, both arranged by Mr Bowers who was kind enough to forego his valuable spare time, and a trip to Melbourne with Mossgiel where we indulged in a range of Chinese delicacies at a yum-cha. The tennis day was again held this year and the fine weather led to it being a great success, providing the

staff, students and parents with an opportunity to enjoy themselves. A large contingent of boys also competed in an enjoyable golf day, well organised by Michael Varley, in which we were joined by some parents. Each boy has made his impact strongly felt at school and some notable achievements were recorded. For the second year running Mackie had a representative in the College 1st V Mathematics team, in Sam Pommet who was part of a most successful campaign finishing in a very creditable third position. The future is looking bright in this field also with Lucas Wilson being selected in the Year 11 2nd V side. Mackie has also had an impact on the sporting field this year with Stuart Peat rowing in the 1st VIII, which finished fourth in the Head of the River, along with Brett Wallace representing Mackie at 1st level on the hockey field. Lauchie Aitken, Tom Paton, Darren Fletcher, Bowen Lockwood and Lucas Wilson all had a stint in the First XVIII at one time or another, and Campbell Morgan and Darren Fletcher played important roles in the 1st cricket side. Bowen Lockwood, Pat Milesi and Lucas Wilson also represented the College this year in the A.PS. athletics meet and Jonas Lea was Vice-Captain of the A.PS. cross country team for 1994. In conclusion, I would like to thank Mr Considine, Matron Vile and all the staff for helping in ensuring yet another successful year. I would especially like to thank Mr Geale who, along with his family, has come to the College on exchange with Mr Conway and has made a great impact on the school. We hope he returns to Canada with fond memories of his time in Australia and The Geelong College. The prefects this year have also played a large and under-rated role in Mackie. I very much appreciated the help I received from each prefect, James, Jonas and Tom and especially from the Vice-Captain, Stuart Peat, who has at all times been prepared to lend a hand. I would like to take this opportunity also to wish the prefects of next year good luck. I am sure 1995 will be just as successful. CHARLES BAULCH - Captain

MOSSGIEL HOUSE HEAD OF HOUSE: Mrs C. Hildebrand TUTORS: Mrs A. Fulton, Mr. D. Hibbard, Miss C. Matthews, Miss R. Bugg HOUSE CAPTAIN: Andrea Rowan HOUSE PREFECTS: Sarah O'Brien, Prue Johnstone, Sarah Bryant, Jessica Sutherland 1994 in Mossgiel began with leisurely drinks on the lawn as a host of new faces mingled anxiously between a handful of returning Mossgielians who stood eagerly renewing friendships. Mossgiel has had an undeniably successful year. The amount of talent and ability within the House, shown consistently throughout the year, is a credit to each of the girls. Mossgiel has enjoyed an array of success this year with many girls involved in highly popular school productions such as "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Others have been active members of lsts sporting teams and some, state finalists in debating. The success of the House has always been largely dependent on the quality of our tutors, and this year has been no exception. Mrs Fulton and Mr Hibbard were joined early in the year by Miss Matthews and later Miss Rachel Bugg, who took the place of Miss Jacinta Payne as she set off for England. Throughout the year, the tutors have provided us with advice, encouragement and friendship. The work they have done over the year extends far above and beyond the call of duty as the hours they put in taking us on field trips, evenings out and basically showing us "a good time" are spread evenly over each of the year groups. Mossgiel has certainly been involved in many social events this year, starting with our annual trip to the beach accompanied by the beloved Mackie boys. The day was a huge success and one to be remembered for many who, in attempting to get a nice bronzed tan, returned glowing with sunburn, one of Sister Cartledge's specialities! Other excursions with Mackie included our daytrip to Daylesford which was a roaring success, especially for the Mackie boys who just loved standing around in the "Convent Gallery" waiting for all of us! Later in the year we ventured to China Town for "Yum Cha" followed by an afternoon of shopping. Miss Matthews dived straight into the action in her first year at Mossgiel. Throughout the year she has organised various outings for all year levels including picnic lunches at the beach, dinner parties, horse riding, ice skating and the constant welcoming of students into her flat, especially Year 12s dropping in for a quick coffee. The Fultons have also organised a number of memorable outings over the year, starting off bravely taking the wild bunch of Year 10s to Luna Park, with the likes of Sarah Case, Jane Bradshaw and Prue Messenger thoroughly enjoying themselves, as did the entire group. Later in the year, the Fultons organised a weekend at Lome for the Year 12s. The weekend was absolutely fantastic as we were fortunate enough to enjoy some beautiful weather in a great house eating loads of delicious food. Indeed Rachel and Mr Hibbard have also organised several outings for the House, with Rachel's little car running us all over Geelong at all hours of the day. I would like to finish by thanking each of the girls in Mossgiel for their support and encouragement this year.

We have a terrific bunch of girls who care about each other and love to see others do well. I would also like to thank each of the tutors for their work and dedication which has made Mossgiel the fantastic place that it is. Lastly I would like to thank Mrs Hildebrand for all the time, support and friendship that she has shown each of us throughout the year. Not only has she given us guidance, organised outings for us, helped us with school work and provided us with a sympathetic ear, she has also been our source of motivation and inspiration, always encouraging us to give our best, as is evident by the enormous array of individual achievements across the House. As we leave, and Mossgiel goes on without us, we take with us fond memories of the people, events and friendships that we have made and that will last a lifetime. When we return in five years time to visit Georgie Lyon, the only girl left that we will have known, we can rest assured that we will be welcomed and that the spirit of Mossgiel will have inevitably lived on.

Once again Calvert produced the goods for a highly successful year on and off the sporting field. The year started with the loudly decried purple and maroon renovation of the Year 12 room. Rapidly House swimming sports were upon us, and protests against the mandatory use of the dreaded 'SPEEDOS'. 'Exceptional' was the best word to describe our swimmers' first place result; stars included Susie Barrett, Fiona Macleod, and the brother and sister combination of Felicity and Nicholas Murphy who proved to be headaches for the opposition. With the likes of Sam Casboult, Matthew Pettig and Scott Faulkner in the House cricket team, success seemed again assured, but it didn't turn out that way as we lost all matches we played. Matt's effort of 45 against Morrison and Chris Macafee's 31 against Shannon were worthy of mention along with our bowlers in Samuel Lucas, Cameron O'Brien, Sam Casboult, and Ashley Salter. As Term 2 holidays disappeared, it was time to don the sneakers and run the Queen's Park cross country course. One of our members opted for bathers and with the help of a few plastic bags, crossed the river successfully. Unfortunately a blue green algae test conducted by the Rev was found to be positive and the athlete was disqualified. Apart from this amusing episode, our placing of fifth was a little disappointing. Katie Weber, Sarah Hamilton, Zoe Harkin, Emily Hamilton and Thomas David all finished in the top three. The Calvert football team had an awesome combination that comprised six 1st XVIII players and five 2nd players. We easily made the final against a controversial Morrison House who only made the final by luck, and the luck was definitely against us as we lost the big one by a few goals. There were some great efforts made throughout the games though, with Archie Paton, Jong Min Lee, Chris Macafee and Brent Haydon being the shining lights for the team. Our House music song "The River of Dreams" by Billy Joel was derided by many throughout the early practice sessions but the final result of fourth position put us up there with the best and it was due to the hard work put in by Fleur, and the other House Prefects who organised the song and rehearsal times. Thanks must also be extended to the small group and the instrumental band who helped boost our position up from the bottom of the list. With the hot combination of Matt Spokes, Lucy Thomson, and Brent Haydon being split up due to injury, we weren't sure how we'd finish up in House athletics. Almost all events were filled by our runners and field event competitors but we ended by losing to Shannon who scraped in eight points ahead of us. There were even some members of the Calvert team who skipped an age group

and competed against their older counterparts and did so very successfully. Romney Nelson and Matt Spokes both won their age groups. For only the second time, House golf was held at Queen's Park under the captaincy of Ashley Salter who organised the team to play the Monday before the commencement of Term 4. Our team consisting of Ashley Salter, Nick Jarman, Sam Casboult and Peter Betts finished in seventh position which was a couple down on last year's result. Considering three members of the team are only part time players - "Hackers" - we performed quite well. House rowing was the first event for the 1994 House sport season. Calvert convincingly outrowed the competition. Junior House tennis players ranging from the experienced to the inexperienced weren't so successful this year, but can look to improve in coming seasons. The result of the senior House tennis was outstanding with first place in the boys' doubles, the mixed doubles and second place in the girls' doubles with Jong Min Lee proving why he is one of the best tennis players for his age in Australia. Simply awesome was the Calvert House softball team with accurate pitching from Kim Dennis and Suzie Barrett dominating the infield. We made the final against McArthur, losing by a creditable two bases in a fine team effort. Unfortunately for the seven other Houses Calvert was once again too good, winning the girls' basketball. Our two star veterans, Kate Lawler and Fleur Weber, performed well with Sarah Case dominating the shooting. The boys were unlucky to lose two close basketball matches which prevented them from making the finals. Sam Casboult was inspirational with his three point shooting and Matt Ross dominated under the ring. The Year 10 debaters, Matthew Spokes, Alexandra Galaska and Marcus Sutton, made the final, only being beaten in a fine debate by Shannon. Our Year 12 debaters for the first time at Senior School failed to make the finals, and the Year 9 Calvert debaters unfortunately failed to win a debate. The Year l i s , Catriona MacLean, Zoe Harkin and Sarah Hamilton reached the final and performed exceptionally well. In netball the seniors had three convincing wins allowing us to take the court in the final. We lost a close game to Wettenhall and Fiona Macleod defended well over the four games. The juniors were unable to make the final. Great goaling by Jane Bradshaw and team work between Angela Goode and Georgina Lee showed that next Sarah Case

year Calvert should have a strong team. To finish we'd like to thank all the Tutors and Prefects in Calvert for their assistance during the year and a very special thank you to Mr Young, who has spent tireless hours organising House events, writing reports and generally being around when people need assistance from him. It's been a great pleasure for the two of us and the Prefects to be leaders of Calvert under the reign of Mr Young and we'd like to wish all the new Prefects, Kim and Chris and the other members of Calvert the best of luck for your future years.

Wells HOUSE CAPTAINS: Adam Beckworth, Penne Young HOUSE PREFECTS: Cameron Duff, Nerida Grebe, Andrew Pooley, Edward Siddall From successes in cross country and golf, to last in music, 1994 has been a memorable year. There were some outstanding individual performances from both senior and junior members of the House. The year started well with a great performance in the swimming, the House finishing a very close third. Danielle Beckworth won her individual championship and Jahnna Galbally came a very creditable second in hers, and she missed out on a record in the breaststroke by 0.01 seconds (on the electronic timer!). Adam Beckworth made it four years in a row by winning all his events and the individual championship. As Term 1 progressed, cricket was played. Looking good for the final after two resounding victories, we missed out when we were beaten by our nemesis, Wettenhall, whom we had on toast after batting at lunch. Great performances were registered by that redoubtable duo of Edward Siddall and Andrew Pooley, and Ben Broad wielding the bat like a tennis racket, as well as Ben Barr, and Matt Barkley with the ball. Softball looked like ice skating in one match with Jodie Griffiths making a great attempt to take first base with her by sliding feet first on her back from five metres out. Unfortunately she and we were out of the competition. The tennis players had a really good year overall: our consistency reaped dividends with an overall placing of equal second. Stalwarts included Ed Siddall (fresh from his Queensland state ranking), John Robertson, Janie Bail and Anna Parker. Juniors Marcus Curypko and Ben Broad blasted the opposition from the court with monotonous regularity. Thanks go to John White, James Paul, Kirin Yee and all the other participants for our best placing ever. As usual, Mr Miller was keen for cross country to be conducted on the second day of Term 2 so that he didn't have to listen to any more excuses about broken finger nails or recurrent coughs stopping people from running, etc. And just as well, because we won! Libby McMillan won her event, with Melinda Tyack finishing fifth, and Jodie, Penne, Athena, Ben Broad and Warwick McCallum all recording top-ten placings. Adam won the open boys to make it three out of four. Hockey, football and netball were also keeping us away from our CAT drafts. Hockey saw Dan Thompson, and Nerida Grebe leading us to a good victory over Calvert - or was that Mr Miller's umpiring?- but that was still not good enough to make our way into the final. There's hope for the future with Libby McMillan, Sally Thompson, and Hollie Green all giving good service. Netball saw the junior girls miss out on the final on a countback. Meanwhile the senior girls were

having a battle of their own and good performances by Jahnna, Jodie, Janie, Penne, Kirsty, and Athena saw us nearly beat Wettenhall. Football saw the most controversial incident take place in House sport in living memory. Could it be that goal umpires need more training or that opponents influence their decision? You be the judge! Nonetheless Eddy was not a happy chappie and he took it right to the top. The team run-through goes into mothballs for another year hoping for a final berth. David Galbally on the ball was able to keep far more highlycredentialled opponents quiet while giving us drive and Andrew Pooley showed he can still grab a soft leather ball over his head. Scott Abrahmsen demonstrated that he could read the Mackie green by kicking the ball around the corner and along the ground for the winning goal against Morrison. But we're not whingeing - we should have been Premiers! The less said about music the better! We came last, preserving the tradition of winners having to be very humble the next year! Thanks go to Jo Dawson for great effort at controlling the enthusiastic group. Debating is one of those activities that everyone is just busting themselves to do. Year 9s lost the final but Amber and Sally led Melinda, Tamsyn, Nick Doran, Andrew Barkley capably, showing that success in debating needs more than three. Aths was unusual in that it actually happened when it was supposed to. Coles led after the 800m events but was unable to sustain the performances, finally finishing fifth. Better performances came from Danielle Beckworth, Athena Lucas, Renee Wright, Libby McMillan, Kirin Yee and Melinda Tyack for the girls, and Ben Broad, the Duffs, Stuart Anderson, David Galbally, Nick Doran and Laurie Aitken for the boys. Term 4 arrived with the news that Ed, Scott, and Andrew had won the golf with no help from Cam. Thanks as usual must go to the other House Prefects, the Tutors and to Mr Miller for his help, assistance and support over the years. He has provided the guidance necessary to keep people on the track, and he has shown a genuine interest in what we do. This has made the year more enjoyable and it has eased the hard times that we all have from time to time. The House now has become a much more positive place over the last four years, and if Coles does keep going in that direction, whilst we may not win everything, individually we will be winners in the long run.

KEITH HOUSE HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr G.D. Montgomery TUTORS: Mr J.T. Dermott, Mr W.J. Harris, Mrs C.L. Lean, Mrs M.H. Lethbridge, Mr M.W. Seekts, Mr G.W. Smith, Mrs J.L. Lake (Term 2) HOUSE CAPTAINS: Richard Gudykunst and Jessica Sutherland PREFECTS: Tamara Dominkovich, Skye Glover, Abbie Huxley and David Knight "To search, to yield, and in Keith's case in 1994, not to find." That's not to say we didn't give it our best shot. Once again fueled by the undying passion of our heraldic leader, G.D.M. or "Mont" as he is known to his troops, every single Keithian can be proud of what they have achieved in 1994, even if it was only beating Wettenhall in the House cross country. Eager and ambitious House events began in 1993 with House rowing - Keith rowing exceptionally well in both boys' and girls' events. However faulty equipment, and an extra tight T-shirt worn by a male House Captain floored any chance the mixed eight had of a sensational row. We were not disheartened, and over the Summer holidays we vowed to bounce back in 1994. The first title up for grabs in 1994 was the Inter-house swimming. All Keithians were keen to stamp their authority on the Inter-house competition. However the determination of all participants was not quite enough. Superb swimming was demonstrated by Abbie Huxley, Tamie Dominikovich yet again, and Alex Doran - and as we were reminded by the ever-optimistic G.D.M. - we came "eighth not last." During Term 1 the boys had a chance to put Keith on the scoreboard in House cricket. With two victories out of three we narrowly missed out on the final. There were some shining performances by the 'spin twins' Steven Cox and Cam Knott. Sam McMahon contributed with fifty runs against Shannon and James Ryan displayed great skill in all areas. However the girls weren't as dominant on the softball field despite the skill of Cathy Lucas and Claire Smurthwaite at the plate. We were unable to notch up a win although we enjoyed the opportunity to soak up some "Rankin rays". Term 2 saw the start of Winter sport for most, and the ominous task of running the cross-country. Individually Keith performed superbly inspired by Mont's performance enhancing confectionery; however, yet again we weren't able to beat Calvert or McArthur. We did beat Wettenhall, even though they did swim half the course. Amelia Johns, Claire Smurthwaite, and Matt Buckis ran very well.

'

Winter was upon us which can only mean one thing and that was football. For most, determination replaced skill and commitment substituted for fitness. With the help of Lucas Wilson, Sam McMahon and James Ryan we managed one inspirational victory by the closest of possible margins against Wettenhall. For the female contingent of the House, the House netball trophy was to be contested. Yet again faced with the Wettenhall super team we managed to win one game. Abbie Huxley and Tamie Dominkovich played well as did Gail Rushworth. The juniors also had a good round of matches, with promising performances by Claire Smurthwaite, Mandy Coutts and Jenny Ryan. Again Keith came close to a final in House basketball, coming second in our pool winning two out of three games. Strength around the boards was provided by our new Warrnambool import, Lucas Wilson, who was admirably backed up by James Ryan and David Knight. House Music. Every Prefect's nightmare. In 1994 Keith broke with tradition sticking with the same song from the outset. After hours of frustrating, useless rehearsal, the day finally came. The tone - deaf mob of Keithians belted out a revamped version of "I love rock 'n' roll." The small group performed well and were then backed up by Buckis and his gang. A surprising result of fourth was obtained. The end of Term 3 saw many wishing for rain on the dreaded aths day. However our prayers were far from answered as the sun shone gloriously all day. Keith aths champion undoubtedly goes to Sam Cole for his sensational effort in the Open high jump, however this was overshadowed by his amazing run in the 100m sprint. Recording some surprising results, Lucas Wilson showed plenty of potential on the track. The girls managed to fill every event with notable performances by Cathy Lucas, Jenny Ryan and Sally Coutts. However Keith athletic ability was yet again not enough and we "finished eighth, not last."

SENIOR SCHOOL We would like to thank all the Prefects for their time and effort all year, and wish the new generation the best of luck in 1995. Sincere thanks must go the tireless efforts of the House tutors, which were much appreciated. Finally we thank Mr Montgomery for his friendship, guidance, and support of all students of Keith. We have both had a tremendous year at the reins of Keith and wish the best of luck to all Keithians in 1995. JESSICA SUTHERLAND and RICHARD GUDYKUNST

Wilson HOUSE CAPTAINS: Nathan Byrne, Prue Johnstone PREFECTS: Kerrie Bell, Laura Bridges, Brooke Jolly, Hugh O'Donnell, Andrea Rowan, Patrick Van Prooyen Although 1994 might not have been a year jampacked full of 1st placings, McArthur certainly provided the 'entertainment' for House event participants and spectators. Throughout the hectic schedule of House sports and competitions there was not only memorable fanfare that, to our dismay, turned into disaster, but also welldeserved triumph, with great results from our softballers, keen cross-country runners and 'tug-of-war' pullers. The year kicked off with the swimming sports held at Kardinia Park. Three new school records were made due to excellent swims by Carly Death in breaststroke, Fiona Smith, Georgie Cameron and Renee Fagg in the U15 freestyle, and Rebecca O'Loughlin, Amanda Smith and Clare Ashby in the U16 Medley. Other great individual results included Meg Jones' second place in the U16 girls' division and Alesh Macak coming third in the U15 boys' age group. To put it simply, the softballers were magnificent. We were feared by all other Houses as they batted up against our 'skinner from hell' pitcher, Fiona Smith, and were caught behind by our talented catcher, Tanya Bath. Meg Walter, Kerrie Bell and Georgina Koch also played well to seize our first, and last, premiership of the year. Congratulations, girls! Not even the saying "Don't focus on winning, just avoid losing" could be associated with our cricket team's results this year, although as usual the spirit was still alive and well. The fact we came close contenders for the wooden spoon shouldn't cloud the inspirational plays from 'T.C Christensen (caught about fifty balls), Chris Jones' 40 not-out and Brent Darby's alternative bowling. Jarrod Witcombe and Michael Jones also gave some great overs. In House cross-country, McArthur finished with an overall third placing. In the U15 age group, David Clarke ran a gallant first, while in the U16 division, both Tommy Anderson and Vickie Thornton ran great times. Meg Jones and David Stokie represented the House well in the U17 event, while Prue Johnstone helped the Open group finish first. House basketball for 1994 could only be described as an exhibition of pure, raw talent. With the skill of Darby, the pace of O'Donnell, the leap of the Peat and the perfection of Spinks, what else does a team need? Answer: A Good Player! Yet the critics were proved wrong, with excellent first halves in each game. The opposition always seemed to bounce back, however, which saw us lose each match by under ten

points. Good luck to Matt Clark and Nik Tayler next year! Nicole Hambling's enthusiasm led to a separate basketball competition for the girls, and our basketballers acquitted themselves well. The debating scene wasn't a highlight for McArthur, although the Year 10 team of Vickie Thornton, Will Lewis and Tanya Bath did deliver some excellent speeches. Senior and Junior tennis was next on the agenda and luckily the House was blessed with great players from various age groups. Andrea Rowan, as usual, provided the inspiration for the younger competitors, while Renee Fagg, Miles Hobson, Sarah Bryant and Amanda Smith all participated well. The girls are to be congratulated for finishing first in both the Senior and Junior divisions It was time for the 'McArthur men' to rip off their school shirts and expose their hairy chests, for House football had arrived! What is usually an excuse to legally hit your fellow students turned out to be a rather subdued affair, with only one concussion, three blood noses and a questionable hamstring twinge from Miles Hobson recorded. Of the one win and two losses recorded, inspirational plays were made by Nathan Byrne, Hugh O'Donnell, Simon Basselot-Hall, Brent Darby and Matthew Clark. Bursts of testosterone were also required for the 'Tug-of- War', where we actually made the final. However Michael Jones just couldn't handle the pressure as anchor, seeing us just miss the premiership cup. We thought the hockey team was a winner, with the likes of Andrea Rowan, Sarah Bryant, Sarah O'Brien, Meg

Prue Johnstone, Ms Janet Nelson, Pat Van Prooyen

Jones, Tim Nicholls and David Stokie. However, we just couldn't quite get it together, with Shannon stealing the victory right from under our noses. Nevertheless, all played well with many bruised shins to prove it. In the netball our success was about the same with the Seniors coming sixth and our enthusiastic Juniors finishing runners-up. Our thanks must go to the talented Brooke Jolly and Laura Bridges for their years of shooting in the team! One House competition, however, which we as cocaptains will surely never forget was House Music, where we elected to revive the '70's hit "Y.M.C.A" by the Village People. With Tim Nicholls on bongos and Hugh, Stuart and Pat ready to leap up from the back of the choir in their "hmmmm" outfits, the number was an extreme hit with the crowd, but not, unfortunately, the adjudicator. In addition, we combined the Beatles' song "Come Together" and the instrumental "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" to come a creditable fifth overall. Athletics came around again and to our surprise the sun was shining. David Clarke once again proved himself to be a fine draft for McArthur with the domination of his events, and the Boys' U15 championship. Todd George broke two school records in his throwing events, while the Boys' U15 relay team, comprising David Clarke, Tom Bridges, Mark Hambling and Brett Wightman, put in a big

effort to win their race and set a new record. Kate Lansell came third in her age group championship, while Prue Johnstone came equal second. 1994 is a year that we will never forget. After the three years that McArthur had given us, we were able to give back what we had taken. It was a year in which McArthur seemed to grow with individuality and House spirit, and hopefully this will continue in the capable hands of the House Captain for 1995, Amanda Smith. The tutors, Mr Keary, Dr Ren, Mr MacBryde, Mr Egan, Mr Cummins and Miss Wilson, must be thanked for their support and time over the year. Ms Nelson we also dearly thank for her fine administration of the House and her personal support to all of us. Good luck, McArthur, and thank you. PRUE JOHNSTONE and NATHAN BYRNE

MCLEAN HOUSE HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr J Claringbold TUTORS: Mrs A.M. Butt, Mr B. Clark, Mr D. Hibbard, Ms A.M. Mahoney, Mr M. Roland, Mrs J. Simpson, Mrs F. Knezevich, Ms M. Baggiere HOUSE CAPTAINS: Sarah Giles and Stewart McCallum PREFECTS: Stewart Harris, Justine Kelly, Emma Sears and Jamiel Muhor As 1994 draws to a close, everyone in McLean can look back with pride on what has been a most successful year, both on and off the sporting field. The willingness of House members to participate in events, has been a pleasure to witness and has been responsible for a very enjoyable year. Inter-House swimming hit us early, and although it was good to see the likes of Struan Pearce and Georgia Boston excelling in their events, this was not enough to move us from the bottom half of the table at the end of the day. On a different note was the success of the McLean cricket team which finished a creditable third much to the delight of Mr Claringbold. With "A.B." Harris leading the way, "Deano" McKaige scoring runs at will, and Nathaniel "Ambrose" Ramm bowling good line and length, we managed to record wins against some highly favoured opposition. Despite the enthusiasm displayed by the McLean softball, senior tennis and netball sides, our efforts in these pursuits were generally unrewarded, as we competed against some top-class opposition. Better softball players were Amanda Notini and Carmen Walker, whilst Jayson Ward and Alistair Smith performed admirably in the tennis, and Emma Sears was the "stand-out" on the netball courts. It is to be hoped that better results will be recorded next year in these events. In Term 4, the junior House tennis team had the chance to take on the best from the other Houses. With some outstanding performances by Cameron McCallum and Jacqui Dennis (who were undefeated) and also Nick Farr and Stephen Roberts, McLean managed to finish high up on the boys', girls', and mixed ladders. Wednesday 20 April found an extraordinarily large number of McLeanites coming down with the flu or developing 'freak' football injuries. You guessed it, cross country time! Unfortunately, our numbers were down on the last few years, but this did not deter cross country fanatics like Tim Clarke, Struan Pearce, Will Gordon and Nathan Lambert from recording excellent placings which ensured that the McLean U16 boys finished first overall. Over the past three seasons, McLean has established itself as a football force to be reckoned with. We played Keith first in what was a very one-sided affair. Next we came up against Calvert, who were reputed to have the strongest House football line-up ever. At half time we were four goals up and cruising towards the upset of the century, but a massive second half turn-around saw us snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as we were beaten by four points. Best players this year were Jamiel Muhor, Tom Chirnside, Cameron McCallum, and young guns Nathan Jose and Nick Farr. This year saw a mixed hockey team achieve an excellent second placing. Ably led by Andrew Cirillo and

John Lean, the team destroyed all opponents in our side of the table, only to be defeated narrowly in the final. The efforts of all McLean hockey players must be commended on this outstanding result. Our basketballers hit the court in third t e r m and could easily have been mistaken for the Harlem Globetrotters, only a little less skilful. Even though Alex Player tried desperately to persuade the team members that each game was of dire importance, seriousness was not one of our strong points. We preferred to try to entertain the large crowds that had gathered to watch. This proved to be our downfall, although Adil Basuki and Jamiel Muhor showed glimpses of form throughout. In the debut season of girls' House basketball at The Geelong College, McLean had no trouble getting together a team of eager female bodies, to follow team captain Georgia Boston on to the court. The junior girls, in Susie Colless, Jacqui Dennis and Sarah Holbery proved valuable players helping McLean to a clean sweep of our pool and a well deserved position in the grand final against Calvert. We unfortunately went down by a very small margin. House athletics came around in no time and as was the case with the cross country, an unprecedented outbreak of the flu reared its ugly head. Tim Clarke, Emma Sears, Jacqui Dennis, Struan Pearce, Will Gordon and Bowen Lockwood stood out as winners in their respective events and saved McLean from the wooden spoon award. House golf was next on the agenda, taking place the day before the commencement of Term 4. After a late Sunday night ring-around, a team of four was found which congregated at Queen's Park for what we're told was a magnificent round of golf. Not magnificent enough, however, as we were delegated to second place by just one stroke behind Coles. With Steven Matheson proving to be McLeans' resident Greg Norman, House golf looks within our grasp next year. House Tug-Of-War is always fun and whilst we proved ourselves in one tug, bringing the score to one all, the losing of the toss saw us narrowly beaten by Wettenhall. Once again McLean proved to the rest of the school that we should not be taken lightly in debating. It is excellent to see that McLean has developed a prowess in this area which is unmatched by any other House, each successful debating team acting as role models for the next year's debaters. All teams achieved outstanding results, especially the Year 9 side consisting of Andrew Newlands, Candice Murdock and Lisa Notini. Thanks must go to Ms Mahoney for her assistance with all McLean debating sides this year. To wrap up this summary of House events, I have invariably left the best until last. Having languished near the bottom of the ladder since our introduction as a House, 1994 will go down in history as the year McLean gained a bronze medal Bree Taylor

in House music. Spectacularly led by Justine Kelly the three songs that were chosen were "I will follow him", for big group, "Lean on me" for small group, and after much debate, "The ode to joy" was chosen as our musical piece. Having missed a couple of much needed practice sessions due to untimely excursions and with one practice to go, things did not look good. The usual McLean music attributes were starting to show - boys talking up the back instead of singing, girls getting wild at boys talking and refusing to sing themselves, et cetera, et cetera. However, by a divine stroke of luck, our last practice session was held in the Chapel. The sombre surroundings (not to mention singing to music for the first time) kicked us into gear and we sang magnificently. Despite some cynics saying we had peaked too early, I was quietly confident that we could win the big one. On the day, everyone performed outstandingly, and even though we were pipped by Wettenhall and Shannon we gained a thoroughly deserved third place. Special thanks must once again go to Justine Kelly, who did a superb job of organising and preparing us for this event. Thanks must go to Mr Claringbold, for leaving us to our own devices this year, but always being there when we did need guidance, as were all the tutors. It has been a pleasure to have the company of Stewart Harris, Justine

Kelly, Emma Sears and Jamiel Muhor as House Prefects. Thanks for your help, guys. We say goodbye to all the Year 12s and wish them luck for their exams and for whatever they may be doing next year. Struan Pearce is leaving for a better place. We wish him well and hope that he too leaves with fond memories of McLean. To everyone else remaining in "MIGHTY McLEAN", best of luck for the future, particularly to those who take over as House Captains. May you enjoy it as much as we have.

MORRISON HOUSE HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr L.J. Quail TUTORS: Mr P.A. Cronk, Mrs A.J. Fulton, Mr A.N. Gibson, Mr A. Gusbeth, Mr B. McLeod, Ms C E . Matthews HOUSE CAPTAIN: Justin Langbein PREFECTS: Zoe Simms (Vice-Capt.), Ross Quail (ViceCapt.), Nicholas Barr, Luke Coulson, Benjamin Fitzgerald, Charne Flowers, David Spear Morrison is generally a name that is associated with high spirited determination and this year, 1994, has certainly proved to be no exception. There is an abundance of individual talent to be found within the Morrison House walls, but in the end it was our willingness to participate which undoubtedly led to the House building upon successes established in previous years. It is not often that one House excels in both sporting and academic matters, while at the same time fostering tremendous enthusiasm and spirit. 1994 has seen Morrison attain all these highly sought after successes and thus it has been a year to be proud of for all Morrison members. Unfortunately the year began with a bit of a dive as Kardinia Park played host to the first scheduled event of the year, House swimming. The day soon saw us sink promptly into sixth place overall, a result which didn't reflect the excellent individual performances of Rebecca Kempster and Warren Keeble in the water and Nicholas Barr in the air who also proved to be the driving forces behind the team. Not disheartened by our result in the swimming, the cricketers donned their gear and with a wealth of talent on the field including a strong contingent from 1st and 2nd teams, they predictably impressed the school with their sporting prowess in a performance riddled with class. With the likes of Steve Bennett, Cameron Day and Campbell Morgan, we promptly stormed into the final, only to collapse to Wettenhall in what seemed to be a case of over-confidence. Second term saw the onset of the competition which never fails to produce a multitude of mysterious illnesses the cross-country. Nevertheless, Emily Barr managed to bring fame to the Morrison camp by winning her division, even though Morrison still found itself at the extreme of the non-preferred end of the final ladder. As usual, the netball was very entertaining, although few spectators braved the freezing conditions. Despite a wonderful display of enthusiasm, only the senior girls proved a formidable force against the opposition. Led spiritedly by Penelope Heard, Bianca Clark and Zoe Simms they gained a respectable third overall, placing them in good stead for the future. Hockey and Softball didn't prove to be our fortes this year, although in previous years we have been reasonably strong at both, hockey in particular. Zoe and Emily Gerrard performed consistently in the softball while it was left to Tammy Higginbotham, Prue Messenger, Adam Campbell and Jamie Slack as goalkeeper in the hockey. Every participant put in a solid team effort to obtain pleasing results. August 5 marked the anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death, and what better way to pay tribute to her than to sing the song "Candle in the Wind" by Elton John in House music on that exact day. Unfortunately the judge

did not sympathise with our sensitivity nor our off pitch voices, and, had we not been saved by some excellent small group and instrumental pieces our success may have well been reduced to lower than sixth place! Congratulations must go to Emily Chappie for stepping in for me as group conductor, I'm sure that also improved our placing markedly. Inter-house athletics kicked off in early September and whilst we had an excellent participation ratio and sound individual performances by Tyson Leach in high jump and Ross Quail who finished runner up to the open champion, our final position of fourth was commendable but still a little disappointing. They say things always happen in threes, and with two consecutive wins in each of football, boys' basketball and tug-of-war in recent years, Morrison was keen to make it three wins in a row for three different competitions. Football soon eventuated as our first major triumph of the year with the boys downing Calvert in the final in an inspirational display of brilliance, characterised by some excellent work by Nick Barr, Cameron Day and Ben Fitzgerald, (when he wasn't injured), and the young and upcoming junior stars Nathan Templeton and Frank De Pasquale. This victory was soon followed up in the boys' House basketball where Ross Quail led the team into the final, inspiring us to defeat Wettenhall in what we considered as pay back for our loss to them in cricket. To

Top: Ross Quail Above: Mr Lea Quail, Mr Andrew Gibson

secure the trifecta, Morrison in total confidence, clinched our third victory in tug-of-war in an awesome display of raw power overcoming McArthur with an unblemished record throughout the competition. It must be said that much of our confidence was due to Mark McConachy's assurance that he had had adequate and vigorous training beforehand. Morrison has experienced a very successful year in 1994 and this stems from the general enthusiasm of all the tutors and students within the House. Whilst the ultimate of winning in many activities was beyond us, the participation has broadened our perspectives and we have savoured our times of success. This has encouraged a much greater and more confident House spirit, one upon which we know more can be built. Participation is the key to success on all levels of life. On the House level it ensures team spirit, but on a broader level it gives rise to experience, enjoyment and most importantly it brings people together. As House Captain of Morrison for 1994 I would like to give my thanks to all the Morrison tutors for their tireless efforts throughout the year, and also to all the House Prefects whose support has been invaluable. On behalf of all Morrison members I would also like to express our greatest thanks and congratulations to Mr Quail for his

dedication, encouragement, care and hard work for the House. It has been a pleasure to be able to work under his guidance. I wish everyone the best of luck for their future in Morrison and hope that you all enjoy the experience as much as I have. JUSTIN LANGBEIN - House Captain

SHANNON HOUSE HEAD OF HOUSE: Mrs M. O'Loughlin TUTORS: Mrs H.M. Fitzpatrick, Mr J.B. Geale, Mr G.R. Gilby, Mr D. Gow, Mr P.J. Hannah, Mr P.C. Taylor, Miss J. Utting HOUSE CAPTAIN: Jane Henderson PREFECTS: Paul DiStefano, Clare Dowling (Vice-Captain), David Henderson (Vice-Captain), David Neal, Clinton Peake, Anthony Snow, Mandy Wilsher. Following last year's strong performances, the Shannon House of 1994 was hoping for a successful year. After beginning slowly in the first three House competitions, an excellent overall second placing in tennis convinced us that we truly did have the talent to succeed, providing every Shannon member contributed. And in a year that made us proud to be 'Shannonites' everyone did! Swimming arrived too early for us to realise our capabilities - as we gained fifth place. This was disappointing for those who 'dove' right into this first event. Clare Dowling exerted an outstanding effort for the fourth consecutive year, and the boys' open relay, consisting of Anthony Snow, Paul DiStefano, Guyon Collins and Matthew Dimmick, finished first. Emily Casey, Ashley Wong and Dale King also swam well. In March, we settled into the scheme of House events, managing two wins in cricket. Clinton Peake, Anthony Snow and Michael Varley, all led by example with their fine performances, encouraging the year 9s who all played admirably, especially James Dowling. Unfortunately, in softball, the skilful batting of softball captain, Rachel Wynn, did not provide enough inspiration for us to acquire more than one win. Shannon's previously mentioned commendable second in tennis, was due to the solid performance of Luke Considine, Paul and Tim DiStefano, Anthony Snow, Mandy Wilsher, Yvette LeGrew and Stacey Lynch. When Term 2 commenced, cross country took place and Shannon accomplished a creditable second place. Excellent individual runs were made by Mandy Wilsher (open), Michael Henderson (U17), and Travis Nilson (U16), who all won their races. David Henderson and Clinton Peake finished second and third respectively and Claire Patterson ran well to be placed third, as did Russell

Dmytrenko, who came fourth. The cross country result inspired us to excel and made us determined to grasp some first placings. This was achieved in the subsequent sport: netball. The junior girls won, with best players being Feme Millen, Lucy Young, Emily Casey and Sarah Ellis. The seniors had many participants and attained only one win. From the netball courts to the hockey fields Shannon was a winner. This victory resulted from the experience and ability of David and Michael Henderson, Seaton Daw and Rachel Wynn, supported by Tim Lamb, Miranda Nation and numerous Year l i s . Shannon's wins continued with basketball for the girls and football for the boys. The girls played remarkably in this first ever House girls' basketball event. Mandy Wilsher led the team exceptionally with an honourable two wins. Clare Dowling conquered the goal area, Bianca Hitt controlled the centre, and Nicole Ronald was terrific in defence. The footballers equalled these two wins, with two worthy games by Luke and Josh Considine, Matthew Dimmick, Guyon Collins and Paul DiStefano. Soaring from our achievements in Term 2, Shannon was ready and waiting to win House music in Term 3. Our musical leaders, Ruth Dougherty and Paul DiStefano, were confident and eager to win in their last year. The talent was high with the instrumentalists, Paul and Tim DiStefano, Anthony Snow and Luke Considine, backed by Ruth Dougherty and Kirsten and Sarah Ellis. The singers Ruth Dougherty, Clare Dowling, Ranie Daw, Rachel Dickie, Yvette LeGrew and Kirsten Ellis, formed the small group, and the whole of Shannon House took part in dedicated singing rehearsals. Our efforts were clearly rewarded, as the House music trophy became ours! Boys' basketball followed, and so as not to be shown up by the girls, the Shannon boys also obtained two wins. Benn Smythe, Barnes Fallaw, Michael Varley and David Henderson played effectively. Assisted by the debating knowledge of David Neal, the Year 9 and 10 debating teams made the final. Damian DiStefano, Simon Hobbs, and Nicole Ronald were unfortunate to lose the Year 9 final. However Ben Marchesani, Michael Henderson, Julian Robert and Giles Craig argued their way to victory. At the end of Term 3, athletics was held. Although individual wins were fairly vital, to be wholly victorious,

SENIOR SCHOOL all able competitors needed to participate, compete wholeheartedly, and go in events on the day if necessary. With this being achieved, Shannon won House athletics for the first time in history! The best performances came from Michael and David Henderson, Travis Nilson, Paula Stevenson, James and Clare Dowling, Narelle Thomas, Angela Nation and Claire Patterson. As you may have surmised from these results, Shannon was most successful in events involving the entire house - cross country music, and athletics. This demonstrates the importance of the dedicated efforts of all Shannon members. I hope everyone remembers the significance of commitment in future years. Thanks to the tutors, prefects and vice-captains for organising these events, and to Mrs O'Loughlin for her assistance and support throughout the year.

WETTENHALL HOUSE HEAD OF HOUSE: Mr D. Curnow TUTORS: Mr D.A. Andrews, Mrs JA. Coghill, Mrs J.A. Gainey, Mr T.P. Parkes, Mrs C. Tol, Mr R. Salen HOUSE CAPTAIN: Rhiannon Bourke PREFECTS: Charles Baulch (Vice-Capt.), Catharine Turner (Vice-Capt.), Olivia Morris, Simon Pettig, Steven Reid, Brett Salajan, Kate Stewart, Allison Taylor We are constantly taught the importance of charity and humility and I feel sure that these lessons were lingering in people's minds at the House swimming sports. How could we have justified winning for the seventh consecutive year? To avoid that daunting possibility we compromised and finished second. The Wettenhall Softball team has been most consistent over the last few years. Again this year we finished with a top four placing. Senior tennis was a big improver, with a top four placing for the first time in a number of years. I didn't think I'd heard anything as tuneless as our music rehearsals, but with a combination of things being right on the day and some of the other Houses being much less than impressive, Wettenhall pulled out a very creditable second, a big improvement on the last couple of years. As in the past, we had plenty of competitors in the cross country. This year, too many competitors did themselves, and Wettenhall no credit at all, and decided to cheat by joining who knows what in the Barwon River for a leisurely dip, and then tackle a course which gave new meaning to the term cross country. What could have been better turned out to be fourth place. In basketball the boys did very well to finish second while, in the re-introduction of basketball for the girls, Wettenhall would have won a trophy, had there been one for fourth. House hockey was not able to produce the Wettenhall triumph of two years ago. This year we finished around the middle. Steve Reid, 1994 Hockey Captain, deserves to be congratulated for the selfless way he ensured that everyone else got a game before himself. Football is one of the most keenly contested of the House competitions. Wettenhall traditionally does very well and this trend was maintained in 1994 with a third place. Debating was one area in which Wettenhall did its best to give everyone a chance to be part of the competition, and in many cases it was a nominated chance. I'm sure that we could have eventually found the perfect combination. Year 12s Kate Moore, Ally Taylor and James Frost were narrowly and somewhat controversially beaten by McLean debating the topic "Substance is more important than style".

Mr David Curnow congratulating Michelle Collins

It may have seemed a good idea of Kate's at the time to bring Mr Sheahan's choice of brand labels into the debate, but since he was the adjudicator, it probably didn't help the team's cause. Something didn't quite work out on the day of the athletics. It seemed that we were going to win right to the end but we fell in a heap and finally finished third. On behalf of those trying to ensure that we gave ourselves every chance to score points, I would like to formally complain about the rule change half way through the day which meant disqualification for any boy competing in a polo rather than a normal t-shirt. At the same time it seemed that the girls were allowed to compete in virtually anything. However, we didn't lose everything. The boys won the cricket and the girls won the netball. After third and second in the last two years, the cricket team did everything right this year, and went all the way, ensuring that the feat would be remembered for a long time by creating their own honour roll on the Year 12 wall. 1993 broke a succession of netball wins and we were determined this year to put things right. That aim was achieved. I suspect there is a sinister and secret draught at work within the school, designed to bring Wettenhall back to the field and make it harder for this great house to continually repeat its domination of the sporting arenas. Nevertheless, I feel confident that, in the long term, nothing will suppress the spirit of the House. I feel confident that those of you returning next year and those who follow you will proudly and defiantly uphold the tradition of success that is synonymous with the name of Wettenhall.

On

everyone's behalf, I would like to thank Mr Curnow and all the tutors. You have all played your part in making this an enjoyable and a successful year, and we really do appreciate your efforts. RHIANNON BOURKE It is more than appropriate to formally thank this House and the Tutors for their enthusiastic contributions throughout the year. In one way or another there have been many demands placed upon the student body, and it has been encouraging to witness improvement in commitment. Finally I wish to thank Rhiannon for her ability to organise quietly, sincerely and competently many House activities. Also Catharine, Charles and the House Prefects have enabled the year to pass with admirable ease and I wish Year 12 all the best as they step beyond the security of the "Red Brick". MR D.

LITTLE DESERT BIOLOGY FIELDTRIP Year 11 biology students watched with trepidation as the weekend of 23-25 April drew nearer. This was the weekend of the Little Desert Camp. We had heard many a story of the camp from previous Year groups. The overall impression was that it wasn't something to look forward to, with a lot of work and not much else. With this in mind the sixty or so students loaded on to the bus on Friday morning as fellow students perpetuated the usual routine of going to school. The majority of Biology students were dressed in jeans and long sleeve tops suitable for this time of year. However after hours of driving we finally arrived only to change into shorts and T-shirts. After staking out the bunk rooms everyone claimed their territory with a privileged few staying in the en-suites where you can't hear the conversation from the room next door. After allowing a few minutes to settle in we were back on the buses heading out to Whimpey's Mallee Fowl mound. Whimpey was an interesting character. He is the owner of the lodge and he is dedicated and more than willing to share his vast knowledge of the desert and the Mallee Fowl. After spending some time at the mound we returned to the lodge to go on a short walk through the vegetation surrounding the lodge. In small huddles around the teachers we learned about adaptations of the plants as the day slowly ended and the cold night closed in. After dinner, Whimpey had great pleasure in showing the only film ever made of the Mallee Fowl nesting. He loved boasting that he sat for seven hours in a box to film the ritual. It was actually a shame when Whimpey stopped talking because it meant work. We all sat down and tried to restrain ourselves from socialising with our friends so we would be able to get the work done as soon as possible. Late into the night we were sent to our rooms, but not necessarily to our beds. There were a few sleepy people early the next morning. Saturday was once again very warm, not a cloud in the sky; however, we were too busy to appreciate it. We split into two groups with one group travelling to the River Red Gum Swamp in four-wheel drives, that weren't made for comfort. Some peoples' stomachs felt the effect of the journey. The other group travelled out to the heathlands. At the heathland we went about the long task of mapping out a transect and then proceeded to draw the flora present in the 5m by 10m area. This was quite time consuming as we had to learn all the names. Jacqueline Pigdon and I were lucky enough to discover a cross between two Banksias that had never been seen before, much to our delight. We now have a plant named after us in the Little Desert. After completing our work in the heathland we were happy to load back into the four-wheel drives for the bumpy ride to the River Red Gum Swamp where our welldeserved lunch was awaiting us. Here at the Swamp we watched as Whimpey delicately and skilfully banded some birds which had been caught that morning in the nets. We also did more work on the flora and fauna in that area. After everyone had finished and quenched their thirst with the limited supply of water available, we were dismayed to find that we then had to walk the 5km back

along a 3m deep sand path to the main road. This was because the other group had the vehicles and the teachers assured us that if we walked we would get back in better time. Unfortunately this didn't make us feel any better as we started on the long trek in the heat, stopping every now and then to empty our shoes of the sand that somehow managed to find its way in. Back at the lodge we had to do the inevitable: start working. After everyone had procrastinated for as long as possible, we all settled down to fit four weeks of work into the one weekend. Of course this is not a very easy task at all. With the coffee supply decreasing, the night wore on. Every now and then you would hear cries of joy as someone completed the work requirement. The teachers finally managed to get everyone in the rooms and the comfort of their beds. Sunday morning we dragged ourselves out of the relaxation of sleep to pack our bags for the trip home. After the work was collected and the rooms checked to make sure everything was how it should be, we went for one more walk through the flora of the Little Desert. Not having to do any more work, we walked just for fun, and every now and then the peace would be broken as songs of the Music Men filled the bush. After the walk and the good old Aussie pies for lunch we were on the bus and on the way home, and for some of us it might be the only time we ever see the Little Desert. KATHERINE DAVIS

CHINA TOUR The September 1994 Geelong College China Tour was undertaken by twenty six students, staff and families of staff. This ten day tour of Beijing and surrounding cities included the Great Wall, Tienanmen Square, the Forbidden City and more. After leaving our first flight from Melbourne to Bangkok, we settled in at the luxurious Amari Airport Hotel. That afternoon we ventured onto the perilous Bangkok roads, visiting our first of many temples, where the longest Budda in Bangkok lay, a mere 48 metres. Our lengthy drive let us soak in the sights of the richness and poorness of Bangkok. The next morning we left Bangkok to embrace China and Beijing. I don't think anyone had ever seen Dr Ren so thrilled, as he was upon finally arriving in Beijing. At the Beijing Airport we were greeted by our bus, tour guide and bus driver which were to become dear to us over the next ten days. Our English speaking Chinese tour guide, Debra, and our bus driver steered us safely to our hotel in the heart of downtown Beijing. These first impressions of Beijing were images of a bustling, clean, beautiful and both strict and friendly city. Our next five days were spent being tourists in a city where few non-Chinese nationals were encountered. We visited such sights as Baihai Park, a Lama Temple, Tienanmen Square, Mao's Mausoleum, the Ming Tombs, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. Other attractions included a Cloisonne Factory, Silk Store, the panda at the Beijing Zoo, a leading Beijing High School, the Beijing Language and Cultural University and a clothes market. Possibly the most intriguing and looked forward to event was our journey to the 'Badaling' section of the Great Wall of China. The Great Wall, the most visited tourist attraction in the world, was truly amazing with the wall

Group Photo in the Tiananmen Square

stretching on along hills and valleys as far as the eye could see, which was not surprising for the wall's length is 6000 km. Our group diverged at the base of the 'Badaling' section, with some attempting the easy climb along the wall and others climbing to a summit of 804 metres along the much steeper section of the wall. While some group members were hounded constantly while climbing the wall to buy matching table cloths and serviette sets by Chinese women, others spent the majority of their time at the base of the wall, where the tourists' heaven was to be found souvenir junk, numerous market stalls all selling exactly the same children's Great Wall pyjamas and the ever popular 'Ritz' biscuits. The ultimate tourists, the Coghill family, were in heaven with the massive selection of souvenirs. We also visited the Ming Tombs which were set in spectacular mountains and the burial sight of Emperors from the Ming Dynasty. In these first few days we saw the Forbidden City, consisting of a mere 9999 rooms, which was the palace of many Emperors in the history of Chinese Dynasties. Here was the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where sections of the movie "The Last Emperor" were filmed. For the group, and Dr Ren, one of the most eerie and traumatic sights of the tour was the preserved body of Mao Ze Dong, in Mao's Mausoleum at Tienanmen Square. While viewing his body we had to walk in pairs and in a strict and patrolled line, without stopping. Tienanmen Square was bustling and amazing in its size, with much preparation for China's National Day on 1 October taking place. The study aspects of our tour consisted of our visit to the Middle School attached to Beijing Teachers' University and the Beijing Language and Cultural University. At this school an informal alliance between it and The Geelong College was made. Here we visited a few classrooms, and a basketball game between some of the keen basketballers of the trip and some students from the school successfully

took place. Our journey to the Beijing Language and Cultural University was again studious. In this instance we received two enthralling lectures on Chinese culture and language from the world renowned Professor Liu Xun. Our four hour drive to the City of ChengDe was spent sleeping, debating over which music was to be played on the bus tape player or looking at the breathtaking scenery.

INDONESIA TRIP

60

The Year 12 International Studies trip to Indonesia took place in the Term 3 vacation. The group was able to witness an incredibly diverse nation as depicted in the national emblem the Garuda bird, representing Unity and Diversity or Pantjasila. We spent three days in Jakarta after a lengthy plane trip via Bali and taxi from the Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Whilst at the capital we visited the ports at Suda Kelapa, the Old Dutch Town named Monas; the International School and The Australian Embassy. The cultural shock began when we first heard the early morning Muslim chants and were met by people from the city numbering 10 million. Heat, smog and bartering for anything from a drink to a pair of shorts became our way of life for the next three days. The group next flew to Yogyakarta. The environment was much more akin to traditional lifestyles and encompassed aspects of the countryside, education, language and culture which were not readily observable in Jakarta. The stimulating sights, combined with some lengthy walks, or Betjak rides, around Yogyakarta enabled viewing of the Palace and Fort which are significant places to recall when related to the Nationalist Revolution. Once again it was impossible to avoid the daily program of bartering for goods but at this stage the seasoned travellers had established their own memorable techniques.

Whilst in Jakarta we had stayed in two star hotel style accommodation and found it to be most adequate featuring a particularly refreshing swimming pool. The guest house in Yogyakarta also allowed us to appreciate the influence of the Dutch. Highlights on the island of Java included the bus trips through the villages and news of various volcanoes such as Mt Merapi and Mt Merbabu. We also managed to visit the magnificent Buddhist temple, Borodudur. It is one of the eight man made wonders of the world and re-opened in 1983. The final three days were spent in Bali and this allowed us to experience yet another cultural and religious group within this archipelago. After Java, Bali was the western tourist haven we had envisaged. The travellers spent time shopping, surfing, relaxing and bus tripping. This time the spectacular interior included Hindu Temples, villages and Mt Kintamani. I am indebted greatly to Mr Gibson for his travelling companionship and the helpful hints he provided before, during and after the journey. It is also appropriate to thank the students for their friendship whilst travelling and their ability to create a pleasant atmosphere out of every situation. MR D. CURNOW

ANZAC DAY ADDRESS 1994 It is now 79 years ago today that Australian troops landed at Gallipoli. Over the following seven months almost 8000 young Australians were killed, the youngest of whom was just 14 years old. Many former students and staff of The Geelong College, whose names are recorded in the War Memorial behind me, were among those who died. The following year, when our troops had been redirected to northern France, one small area of the Somme Valley saw 5100 Australians die in less than 24 hours. Another 45,000 died in that foreign soil over the following two years. It is in these hills and valleys of France where the bodies still lie of many other Collegians. Their names, too, are recorded in our memorial and will be recalled by the Principal shortly. In 19911 visited the Somme Valley. It was a cold and wet afternoon. I'd had to battle the French rail system, the negotiation of a hire car, my inadequate French and narrow roads to find and reach this district. And the first thing that struck me about the Somme is how normal life seems there today. Farmers work the fields, the small towns are like those anywhere - children going to school, shopping, and business going on. Life goes on there today. As I drove on the wrong side of the road in heavy drizzle, it was hard to imagine that this green countryside played host to the bloodiest massacre of life that the world has ever seen. I visited the towns whose names have become part of Australia's history - Pozieres, Albert, Bullecourt. And it occurred to me that these townships are little different to ours. Pozieres could have been Winchelsea or Lara or Bannockburn. Of course the war is far from forgotten. As there are only a few remaining Australian solders from that era, there are few remaining French people with personal memories of World War 1. However, there are permanent and poignant memorials to ensure that their children never forget. It is ironic that the fertility of these French fields is in itself a first-hand reminder of those who fell. And every couple of miles is a stone memorial or cemetery, where Australian headstone abound. It is from one of these plots that the remains of an unknown soldier was returned last year to lie forever in the forecourt of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. For Australians today, the most striking memorial in France is the massive stone Australian memorial just outside the town of Villiers-Brettoneux. Here, an open square wall some 20 or 30 feet high lists the names of those who died. Thousand after thousand after thousand. It was perhaps at this moment, as I stood totally alone, in the rain, in this memorial, amongst acres of headstones, so far from home, that I was able to appreciate some of the magnitude of this incomprehensible tragedy. I'd be going home, on a plane - 24 hours to Australia. Here lay thousands of my countrymen who never saw their homes again. In Australia, too, war memorials in every city, town and settlement have been constructed to perpetuate the memory of those who paid the biggest price that anyone can possibly pay. Australia's first war memorial is in fact situated not far from here in the township of Inverleigh. It was unveiled during the Boer War in 1901, shortly after the death of

Major John Houghton of the Australian force in South Africa. Unfortunately, two world wars and other confrontations have lead to thousands more monuments. The Australian War Memorial is the Nation's tribute in Canberra. The Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne is Victoria's Recognition of our war servicemen and women. Geelong's war memorial is situated in Johnstone Park. In almost every township around the country is some memorial to those who died. In Ballarat, there is even a unique stone monument to the 200,000 Australian horses killed in the first war. There are also memorial schools, swimming pools, hospitals and halls constructed so that we might remember. In Colac, a large memorial was unveiled in 1992, the result of donations from almost every resident of the shire. In a district of 14,000, 1546 people including 32 nurses enlisted and fought. That's more than one in ten of the population of this part of Western Victoria leaving their homes and farms for the far off war. 318 did not return and a forgotten 125 more died from war-related injuries over the next decade. War memorials can never replace those who died, but we can heed the words spoken by the town mayor at the unveiling of one country Victorian memorial in 1921. He said "No monument is necessary to remind us of who went from this district and returned not...but it is for future generations that we are building this memorial, so that the children and grandchildren and those who came after may know the names of those to whom Australia owes so much". It is now we who are these children and grandchildren... And as the children and grandchildren of the generations who served, it is the least we can do to remember their names. We have our school's memorial here. In fact this whole wing of the quadrangle was built as our War Memorial. We walk past the memorial every day. But how often do we remember to even give a thought as to what it stands for? Let us remember the names as the Principal reads the roll of honour, and from time to time let us also remember what it is that our War Memorial, and all such memorials, stand for and commemorate.

WORK EXPERIENCE 1994

SKI REPORT

Work Experience at the College is compulsory for all Year 11 students. There are many students who have only a limited idea of what their career interests might be, and the Work Experience Program provides an ideal opportunity to explore at least one option. Most often, the significance of the placement is not so much in the trying out of an occupation but in the experience of being part of the work force, be it only for a week. Parents are frequently particularly enthusiastic about aspects such as the discovery of independence; the new awareness that work is hard and the day is long, let alone the week, and maybe school begins to look a little better than the work alternative. For other students, the reverse may be the case, where the work placement offers many positives that may not be so prominent in an academic environment. Part time employment has often evolved from an initial work experience placement. I know of some students who have financed their passage through university through employment that began with the Year 11 Work Experience Program. This year's students made some interesting comments: "Work Experience introduced me to the idea of having to work with people I did not know, and often with people with whom I had little in common." "The Hospitality Industry was very interesting, but the hours were long and hard." From a student on a Child Care placement: "I became more patient, and the experience helped develop my leadership skills." "It helped me understand the difficulties experienced between the professional (the vet) and the clients (actually the animal owners!)" From a student whose placement was in the accounting office of a small manufacturing business: "It showed me what goes on behind the scenes in an office environment." "My placement taught me responsibility. It also gave me an idea of what my parents do and how hard it can be." Our thanks go to the many employers who so generously offered places to some one hundred and seventy five students.

With high expectations the seventh annual ski trip began on the last day of Term 3. We gathered in Talbot Street for the long journey to Harrietville, arriving at approximately 10.30 p.m. We awoke the next morning at approximately 6.30 keen for our first day of skiing. Harrietville's location meant each morning we were subjected to a long bus trip of two hundred and seventy-five gut twisting bends.We arrived at Mount Hotham at around 8.30 a.m. the first morning to poor conditions. Nevertheless, the entire group was keen to get out on the slopes. Disaster struck within two hours when Lucas Wilson, travelling at high speeds down an access trail, lost control and collided with a solid rock wall. The rock wall came off the better of the two with Lucas being knocked unconscious and being rushed to the nearby hospital where he received six stitches to repair the gash in his head. Day Two was another day of poor skiing which saw the temperature fall to a low of -7°C. The afternoon saw many frozen College skiers retire for the day and gather in the White Crystal Coffee Lounge. Here we could sit around the fire, thaw out and allow our soaking wet clothes to dry. By the end of the second day we were praying for snow and as we awoke in the early hours of the third day we found that our prayers had been answered. It was actually snowing in Harrietville which meant heavy snow up on the mountain. This saw us skiing on the first decent snow for the trip. Day Four saw even better cover. Approximately one metre of snow had fallen within two days resulting in the onset of quite a large snow fight between about thirty College students at the foot of Slalom Gully. It continued snowing for the entire day and when we returned to the bus we were assured by a confident bus driver that the conditions for our final day were forecast to be perfect. And perfect the conditions were. The heavy cloud had lifted and visibility was one hundred per cent giving us the opportunity to get the cameras out and take some shots of the magnificent view of Mt. Feathertop. It was a skier's paradise. Good snow, plenty of sunshine and a good attitude from all the College skiers. Although conditions were perfect, they proved to be a hazard for many skiers on the mountain. People became overly confident and decided that they could go that bit faster until they suddenly collided with someone else. I was told that there were around ten broken legs and a number of other serious injuries. Skidoos worked overtime as they transported casualties down from all parts of the mountain. Fortunately only a minor injury involved a College student. As a whole, the 1994 Geelong College ski trip was a thriving success. The ninety-three students and the twelve staff members thoroughly enjoyed the experience, whether it was their first trip or whether they had been many times before. I would like to thank all the teachers and others who devoted their time to the ski trip and a special thanks must to go Mr Curnow for his superb organisation. If you have never been on the ski trip before, I strongly recommend it.

1994 GIRLS' HOCKEY TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND On the eve of Saturday 24 June, sixteen eager girls and two coaches met at the Melbourne Airport to board a plane destined for Wellington, New Zealand, via an overnight stay in Sydney. In Wellington we met our first billeting school, Samuel Marsden Collegiate School with whom we were to stay for two nights. We drew with this school one goal each with both teams playing an excellent match. At the conclusion of the match we were invited to join in on a "hucka" which proved to be an interesting experience. Slowly becoming accustomed to the New Zealand accents, we met our second opposition, also in Wellington, Queen Margaret's College but unfortunately, due mainly to tiredness, we lost this match two goals to nil. Bidding farewell to Wellington we travelled north for five hours to a small town named Havelock North. Cramped into mini-buses the trip was of course fun-filled with Carsy and Wynner providing enlighted entertainment for all. In Havelock North, we played Woodford House and drew nil all. The following day we awoke to what the Kiwi's described as the coldest day they had had in five years recording a chilly minus 4 degrees. Travelling a little further north to Napier we played against Iona College losing a good match two goals to nil. That evening we travelled back to Wellington taking in Wellington by night a good four times before we found our motel. The following morning we caught the ferry from the North Island to the South Island. Getting off the ferry at Picton we were of course harassed by Emily Gerrard and her mildly annoying video camera before bussing down the East Coast of New Zealand alongside the Pacific Ocean and fantastic snow capped alps. We were all delighted by the huge snow capped mountains and quite surprised by the rare photo opportunity provided by some camouflaged seals amongst coastal rocks. We trudged along for six hours towards our target Christchurch. After discovering that one can only be so long in a mini bus without going crazy, the sight of our St Margaret's School billets was a welcome relief. A not so welcome relief was the sight of the Christchurch synthetic hockey complex the next morning. Due to the below freezing temperatures the water turf had frozen over, and for the first time we faced the prospect of ice hockey.

The icy turf actually provided us with an excuse for our seven to nil canning, kindly administered by St Margaret's. Our spirits were dampened, yet after a festive lunch provided by our billeting school, we had consolidated, and prepared for our final game that afternoon against Rangi Ruru. It was an exhausted eleven girls who took the field for our final game, and at the end of the first half, College were down three to nil. In the second half things went from bad to worse, with the girls finding that they had little energy to draw on, due to the games played in the not too distant past. As the siren sounded, a tired and lack-lustre team left the field after being defeated by a fresh opposition six to nil. At this point in the tour, with no more hockey to play, we were looking forward to the shopping and skiing that lay ahead. Early the next morning our Rangi Ruru billets dropped us at our hotel in Christchurch, our meeting place before each of us headed off for the shops. At 5.00 the next morning, we arose early, and departed Christchurch bound for Methven. The one hour journey, flew by, as the Mount Hutt ski fields changed from being a spot on the horizon to a looming great obstacle before us. Ascending the mountain proved to be a hair raising event for those with window seats, as the wheels of the bus came narrowly close to the edge of the road. On finally reaching the top, we were greeted by near blizzard conditions. Visibility was poor, which was certainly a hazard for those in the path of the treacherous Meg Jones, whose original skiing style earned her the reputation of "the Chick in the yellow pants". The next morning, we again rose with the sun, eager to make the most of our final full day not only on the slopes, but also in New Zealand. This time, the mountain gave us perfect weather. Many of the various styles and antics displayed by our touring team, especially those of Ranie Daw and Sarah Bryant redefined the term Ski Bunny! That night some of us went to bed early, others played pool, and one of us was down in Methven Base Hospital having her knee X-rayed. The next morning Monday 4 July, sixteen girls and two coaches, left the 1994 New Zealand hockey tour behind them as they boarded their Qantas flight home. Touch down at Melbourne's Tullamarine airport brought with it the reality that the past ten days of laughter, no sleep, and hockey were over. The New Zealand hockey tour was a great success.

PREPARATORY SCHOOL TRIP TO IZUMIOTSU JAPAN The Geelong College Preparatory School students and staff joined with the Mayor and officials of Izumiotsu City in a formal welcoming ceremony. Following this the students joined Japanese families in a homestay program.

NETBALL TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND The 1994 Geelong College Netball tour of New Zealand began via Adelaide - went to Sydney and finally to the Land of the Long White Cloud. In Wellington, our netball began poorly. The match against St. Mary's was a physical encounter and resulted in a embarrassing defeat. Their team consisted of mostly Wellington regional representatives three times our size. The large vocal crowd was intent on distracting us and their tactics included calls of "G'day mate!" from the sidelines. As our play improved the weather turned foul. We vainly waited for the umpire to cancel our match in appaling conditions against Wellington Girl's High School. The rain and wind made sure ball handling was almost impossible. Our Samuel Marsden billets amazed us with their stories of netball tournaments played during blizzards. We came to appreciate what a sheltered life we lead. Our flight to Dunedin did not quite go to plan. Due to bad weather, we were forced to fly to Christchurch. Offerings of 'freebies' consisting of a plane trip to an unfamiliar place called Invercargill, along with a coach ride to Dunedin did little to impress us. However following the chocolate chip cookies served on the plane, and the sight of our luggage alongside that of a rugby team of some renown, our spirits lifted somewhat. It was some sort of a privilege to be inconvenienced with them. The change of schedule meant we would miss our tour of the Cadbury factory, the prospect which had kept us going during the rain and which had been a talking point for months. Some thought this to have been the main reason for the trip. I believe even Mrs. O'Loughlin felt a little put out. Desperate attempts to re-book proved unsuccessful and we were left on a waiting list.

Our match against Columba College was postponed for a few hours to allow students time to sweep the snow from the court. The weather improved for our match against our host school Otago, and we were honoured with a traditional Maori welcome prior to the match, a vocal but hospitable crowd, and coverage in the local paper. Winning four of our six games was pleasing, and we departed Dunedin content and excited about our three days of netball-free relaxation in Queenstown. These three days were a highlight and provided us with many fond memories. Various fearless individuals chose to throw themselves from a bridge, attached only by an elastic chord, while the more 'fond of life' individuals watched in awe as they fell not once, but twice. The more conservative activities involved Jet boating and skiing amidst the breathtaking scenery. As first timers Brooke Jolly and Kim Faulkner were introduced to the skills of skiing, They became well acquainted with the ground and large boulders of snow acting as landing pads, and found them a most convenient method of slowing down. Eleven fun-filled days in wonderful country, a little netball on the side, and four video tapes later, we were somewhat reluctant to return to Australia. However following a lengthy delay at Queenstown airport, and a hair raising light plane trip dodging mountain peaks, thoughts of Australia became more appealing. On behalf of the team, I would sincerely like to thank Mrs O'Loughlin for enabling such a wonderful tour to take place. Without her assistance, we would be lacking many life long memories and diligent pen pals. RHIANNON BOURKE

YEAR 12: David Neal, Tara Eaton, Stewart Harris, Justine Kelly, Louise Mitchell. Once again, under the inspired leadership of Mrs Hildebrand and Mrs Mahoney, the school debating teams rose to the heights of success with their erudite, compelling and personable style. Responding to the challenge of such topics as "That green labelling breeds complacency", and "That the year of the indigenous people was a failure", the school's best public speakers determined in 1994 to live up to the demanding legacy of previous years. Involved in their first year of competitive debating at the Senior School, the Year 9 debaters, enjoyed a successful initiation into the rigours of the D.A.V. Having won four of their five rounds and having gained several brilliant BestSpeaker awards throughout the season, there is every indication that this team will soon find themselves holding the College banner aloft in the state finals. Yes, whilst the 'normal' Victorian dreams of "that one day in September", debaters everywhere are lulled into fitful slumber each night with visions of that momentous annual confrontation

which brings together the finest vocal musketeers from around the state. Thrust ruthlessly into that rhetorical chasm of jargon and double-talk, three secret-topics had been enough, or perhaps more accurately too much, for the Year 12 speakers. The last refuge of any struggling debater is the proverb and in accordance with our motto, "One learns wisdom from failure much more than from success", we took solace in the fact that our season must have been highly educational. The C grade team, by contrast, continued its victory run of 1993 winning all but one of their debates and missing a place in the finals by a margin of three points. It was the dedicated Year 11 speakers, however, who toiled longest and consequently earned the ultimate rewards. Having argued their way through the season undefeated, Kristie Pearce, Aaron Davies, Penny Heard, Nathan Lambert, and Captain, Ben Knight, cast aside academic irrelevancies such as Work Requirements and CATs in order to commit themselves wholly to the task ahead. From the thirty-two schools state-wide which earn a place in the finals competitions each year, the gruelling process of elimination eventually results in four teams at the semi-final level. For the first time, 1994 saw a College trio reach this point. In only its fourth year with College participation, the Debating Association of Victoria has already felt the effects of the student and staff determination which has seen our participation in consecutive final series and has resulted in an eighty percent success rate. Without the vision and unwavering perseverance of Mrs Hildebrand and, these past two years, of Mrs Mahoney, our school may never have escaped the temptation to place "other things" above providing the opportunity to debate at a competitive level.

THE GEELONG COLLEGE MUSIC DEPARTMENT 1994 has been an active and interesting year for the music program throughout the College. All ensembles and many individuals from Campbell House through the Preparatory School to the Senior School have performed at levels which compliment the support given to the music program by the school administration, the Old Collegians, the Foundation committee, the Parents' Support Group and the staff of the College, not to mention the expertise of all the music staff (both permanent and visiting) who give extra time to ensure that the students and groups in their charge can perform at their best on any occasion. Campbell House children were very busy in the early stages of the year rehearsing for the production of "The Little Prince" which was staged in May. The play was adapted by Mrs Jenny Hendry from the novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupery Mr Mark Irwin composed some wonderful music which was sung enthusiastically by the children as they brought the play to life under the direction of Mrs Carole Mallett. The singing was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the production and this is a result of the consistent Kodaly program followed in the classroom. Many of the Campbell House children are involved in an instrumental program - fifty children currently play stringed instruments and thirty are playing piano. Each year the children in Prep. Grade are given the opportunity to find out what it is like to play violin and then to continue if they wish. A similar program for cellos has increased our string numbers considerably. The children have the opportunity to perform at Campbell House assemblies and also at Music Evenings which are held each term. Both Year 2 classes performed circle dances at the third term music evening, much to the delight of their parents! The final event for the year was the Christmas Service at St David's on Friday 9 December. The re-organisation of the band program by forming a junior and an intermediate band at Middle School has allowed the conductors to successfully introduce band music to beginners as well as to provide a challenging repertoire to the more advanced students. Both of these groups are trained and conducted by Mr Roger Sullivan and Ms Carolyn McAlister. The Junior Band rehearses from 3.45 until 5.00 pm on Wednesday evenings and the Intermediate Band rehearses from 7.45 until 9.00 am on Thursday mornings. The Junior Concert Band has performed at various music evenings, the

Middle School Open Day on Monday 13 June, a school assembly and for the students of Campbell House. The improvement in their standard of performance throughout the year has been extremely pleasing. The Intermediate Concert Band has performed at music evenings, school assemblies, JSHAA Music Festival at The Dallas Brooks Hall in Melbourne on Thursday 25 August, the Foundation Concert on Wednesday 14 September and Festival Day on Wednesday 13 December. The Band is capably led by David Faris who organises the group admirably although his task is made considerably easier through the co-operation of the members of the band. The group has attained a fine level of performance through their hard work and dedication. String players at Middle School have been busy preparing for A.M.E.B. exams and performances in either the Junior String Ensemble, the Senior String Ensemble and the combined Preparatory String Orchestra. The repertoire rehearsed this year has been quite demanding and the players have acquitted themselves admirably. The viola and cello sections have grown, adding depth to the overall sound of the orchestras. Many opportunities have arisen allowing all groups to perform both at College and in the community including a string workshop with Trinity Grammar in Melbourne. The Choral Program involved students in a combined Year 4 and 5 Choir, a Year 6 Choir and a combined Year 7 and 8 Choir. These choirs rehearsed during school hours in specially timetabled rehearsals and this proved to be a satisfactory solution to the problem of scheduling rehearsals during lunchtimes. Both the Year 6 and the Year 7 and 8 Choirs performed in the annual Geelong Schools' Music Festival held in the Ford Theatre in August, and the Year 4 and 5 Choir entertained the audience at the Foundation Concert with their Disney medley. During Semester One, the Year 8 elective, "Composers Workshop", involved twenty-one students as budding composers. The students utilised a variety of traditional and electronic musical instruments to create a wide range of music. Their efforts were rewarded by the enthusiastic audience at the end-of-semester concert of original compositions. The instrumental music program has maintained strong numbers at all levels. The "Introductory Term of Tuition" which operated at the Year 7 level gave many students the opportunity to try out a musical instrument, and several of these students have continued to learn. The instrumental music students are active in the bands and orchestras, and also have the opportunity to play in their class ensembles and in the Year 8 elective, instrumental ensemble, during Semester Two. 1994 saw the appointment for the first time of a Music Captain and Vice-Captain. This honour was given to Ruth Dougherty as Captain and Fleur Weber as Vice-Captain and both upheld the positions admirably. After a shaky start to rehearsals (which never stopped being shaky) and despite the never ending difficulties in achieving rehearsals with full attendances, the String Orchestra, Concert Band and Symphony Orchestra, settled into a practice routine that allowed the groups to develop their programs and perform to a satisfactory standard. Every Monday/Tuesday night throughout Terms 1, 2 and 3 the String Orchestra, conducted by Ms Marilyn Dwyer, "squeezed" into the Art

History Room for rehearsal while the Concert Band rehearsed in the auditorium. The Symphony Orchestra rehearsed from 6.30 to 8.30 pm each Monday after their evening meal, which was organised and supplied by the parents of members. This proved to be a very worthwhile social event as well as allowing the group to rehearse throughout the year. The Senior Concert Band which is trained and conducted by Mr Peter Hannah has rehearsed for two hours each week throughout the year. The group has maintained a very pleasing standard and has given notable performances at the Camp Concert, Foundation Concert, Winchelsea Bandfest, Carols by Candlelight and concluded the year with a recital on Speech Day. In Term 2 Amanda Smith, Katherine Roberts, Katie Weber, Marion Spicer, Richard Griffiths and Mr Hannah combined with the Geelong Grammar School to perform a contemporary work by G. Riely called "In C which proved to be an excellent experience for both the performers and audience. Congratulations at this time are in order to Richard Griffiths on his being awarded Associate of Music of Australia (A.Mus.A) (in the art of Saxophone playing). The members of the Wind Quintet: Amanda Smith, Amanda Notini, Claire Keith, Megan Walter and Mr

Hannah, have had a most rewarding year with performances at the Parents' Dinners in the College Dining Hall, and the honour of being invited to perform in a Youth Concert at the Performing Arts Centre with George Dreyfus as the Guest Conductor. The Senior String program involves students continuing their individual study as well as participating in the Chamber Music program, the String Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra. The string sextet consisting of Ruth Dougherty, Georgina Cameron, Felicity Emselle, Yvette Jenner, Ms Dwyer and William Mills rehearsed and performed a variety of works. This group gave fine performances during the year at the Parents' Dinner, the Rowing Dinner, The Old Collegians' Annual Dinner held at the Zoo in August and the Probus Club Lunch Recital as well as various Music Evenings throughout the year. The String Quintet whose members are Georgina Cameron, Georgina Hart, Ms Dwyer, William Mills and Anthea Neunhoffer, have rehearsed and performed works by Percy Grainger, Bach and Vivaldi. The Year 9 String Quartet: Nicole Ronald, Edward Cheung, Candice Murdock and Ms Dwyer have rehearsed and performed works including Schubert, Norton and Kabalevsky.

Georgina Cameron has continued to show superb talent, dedication and achievement in her study of the violin and contribution to music at the College. She recently won the Paul McDermott Scholarship in Melbourne and has been invited to play a Concerto with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 1995. Congratulations Georgie, we encourage you to keep up the hard work. Georgie is a member of the Melbourne based Geminiani Orchestra and the Lira Trio. Ruth Dougherty Year 12, leaves the String Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra this year after seven years involvement in the string program. Ruth is an accomplished violinist who has achieved both Group and Solo VCE Music Craft. She also studied Viola and is a member of the College based String Quartet, "The Four Seasons". Ruth has been an asset to every component of the String Program and will be missed. We wish her well in her future studies. The String Orchestra welcomes Ms Sue Trainor to the College as cello teacher and cello tutor to the Orchestras. Her musicianship and dedication to the cello has made an impact on the string players. Mr Barrie and Mrs Carmel Edwards have also been vital members of the String Orchestra this year. The String staff including Mrs Urszula Kamburowski, Mrs Lindy Cardell, Mr Edwards, Ms Sue Trainor, Ms Cathy Blake and Ms Marilyn Dwyer continue

to work enthusiastically, ensuring the growth of the String program. I would also like to welcome Ms Robyn Wilkinson-Beards as music assistant to our department. The vocal ensembles and soloists have been very productive this year with two music evenings producing some fine singing. The Choral Evening was particularly successful with over forty students performing at the Robertson Hall. I would like to thank Ms Wendy Venters, our visiting vocal teacher, for organising the events and for her persistence in forming the small but enthusiastic School Choir. The Foundation Concert was held again this year for the fifth time at the Geelong Performing Arts Centre. With the support of the Foundation members, this venture again proved to be very worthwhile as it provided selected music groups from Campbell House, Middle School and Senior School with the opportunity to give public performances in a community venue. The College music students performed to a capacity audience with the proceeds going to the Education Fund. The Music Camp which was held at Rutherford Park, Blampied near Daylesford was an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for all music students who attended. Two bus loads of students and staff departed on Wednesday 22 June for three days of rehearsal workshops and a final performance was held at Robertson Hall on the

Friday evening. The camp provided an opportunity for more intensive study to be given on the works which were to be performed later in the year. Apart from the hard work, students were given the opportunity to visit Daylesford, and surrounding attractions. The College Concert Series this year provided some excellent musical experiences through the presentation of performances by the Australian Chamber Soloists, Janusz (Concert Pianist), Galapagos Duck, a renowned Australian jazz group, and The Song Company, Australia's premier A Capella vocal ensemble. The school has decided to run the Series again in its present format for 1995 and I would like to invite all our readers to subscribe by contacting the Director of Music for information about subscriptions and single tickets. A special mention must be made in appreciation to Mrs Carmel Edwards for her accompanying throughout the year and Mr Hannah, Ms Dwyer, Ms Trainor, Mrs Edwards, Mr Edwards and Mr Jeffery, for their contribution in the Symphony Orchestra. I would also like very much to congratulate all our instrumentalists and vocalists who performed at examinations, recitals, concerts and auditions throughout the year. Special thanks also to Mr Irwin for his outstanding co-ordination of the music program at the Prep School and to Mr Sullivan, Ms McAlister and Mrs Hendry for her work at Campbell House. The Carol Service, which combined Middle and Senior Schools, was held as a Carols by Candlelight on the lawns of the Senior School using the Dining Room as a backdrop and turned out to be a great success, with some fine singing by students from both schools as well as an appreciative audience. Finally, I would like to thank the many people who have helped make this one of the most successful years we have experienced. Our thanks are extended to the College, Mr Sheahan, Mr Gilson, Mr Kaye, the Old Collegians' Association and particularly the General Office Staff and the tireless Parent Support Group in their fundraising activities. I would also like to take this opportunity of thanking all our Year 12 musicians for their support throughout the year and wish them all the very best for their future. MR H. HOOD - Director of Music

MUSIC CAPTAIN'S REPORT As the 1994 Captain of Music at The Geelong College I have been given the challenging task of putting into words the diverse range of musical activities that occur so regularly within the College. There are numerous groups and individuals from Campbell House, the Middle School and Senior School who perform at unbelievably high levels. The College music program is one that the students within the College are proud of and I can personally say that, although I have walked the stretch of gravel between Senior School and the Austin Gray Centre what seems like a million times, the experiences I have gained in the music school are invaluable. In my seven year involvement with the music department at College the music staff have provided for me and numerous other students a network of encouragement and support. Monday nights have fast become an institution for the music students of The Geelong College with over one hundred students attending rehearsals between 3.45 and

8.30 pm. This time gives students a chance, outside school hours, to indulge in their love of music making as well as crystallising friendships which would otherwise not have been formed. Life within The Geelong College Music Department is not just arduous night rehearsals. As a member of several orchestras, ensembles and choirs, I have had the opportunity to partake in an array of activities, the most memorable of these being the 1992 International Music Festival where we were privileged to have the opportunity to represent Victoria and perform on the world renowned stage of the Sydney Opera House. Other tours have also been extremely memorable, particularly in 1993, when with thanks to the Old Collegians, the Symphony Orchestra, String Orchestra, Concert Band and Vocalists were fortunate enough to be able to tour the Western District and be billeted by various Old Collegians and their families. As a regular competitor in various competitions in 1991, The Geelong College Symphony Orchestra proved itself by defeating the notorious entry-by-audition-only Blackburn High School Orchestra, who were previously undefeated for ten years. The development of string players within the school over the last few years has enabled the College to have a Symphony Orchestra. Founded just four and a half years ago the orchestra had to work extremely hard to reach its present standard. Even now with such versatile musical ability within the school, organisation and co-operation is required to co-ordinate sporting and musical activities. Yet with much persistence and dedication by both students and staff the orchestra has proven itself most successful under the capable baton of Mr Harry Hood. The vocal program at the College has taken on a heightened profile under the direction of Ms Wendy Venters, a relatively new addition to the longer serving staff. Under her guidance, the choir and vocal ensembles have improved beyond a doubt, and the morale of the singers of the College has been given a much needed boost. The singing students have requested a special thank you to Ms Venters for the friendship she has shown each and every one of her students. Under the direction of Mr Barrie Edwards, jazz music within the department is now an integral part of the music program. The Stage Band's performances are proof of how much students have benefited from Mr Edwards' numerous years of experience, and gained from his musical versatility. With such a vast range of musical activities at the College it is impossible to make reference to all who have contributed. Yet I feel it is imperative to mention on behalf of the music students the wonderful friendships and dedication the music staff have given to all and particularly me especially in my final year at the Senior School. Thanks must go to Mr Peter Hannah - conductor of the Concert Band, Ms Marilyn Dwyer - conductor of the String Orchestra, Ms Sue Trainor - an inspirational new addition to the staff, and Mrs Edwards for her kind and caring personality and superlative accompanying skills. I must also thank the entire College music staff and music assistant, Mrs Robin Wilkinson-Beards, with a special thanks to the Parents' Music Support Group for their outstanding organisational skills and support. RUTH DOUGHERTY - Captain of Music

CREATIVE ARTS HOUSE OF GUILDS 1994

80

Throughout this past year the House of Guilds has been a place where students and members of our Community can work together and pursue their individual creative interests. It was especially pleasing to see a large number of girls venturing down to the HOG in the early part of the year, and partaking in activities which before were considered to be male orientated. Their desire and keenness to learn and produce work of a high standard was appreciated by all. We were saddened to learn during the year of the death of Mrs Alison Gray wife of the late Mr Austin Gray. Both Mr and Mrs Gray were long time supporters and benefactors of the House of Guilds. Over the past years, Mrs Gray was always interested in the activities and pursuits of the students of the College. On behalf of all members of the House of Guilds, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Catherine and the Gray family. The HOG is truly a unique institution within our school. Throughout the years, young minds have been allowed to spark and fuel the fire of the creative spirit. Those who do venture through our doors soon discover the pleasure and satisfaction of creative learning, these experiences are usually carried throughout their lives. This year, Terms 2 and 3 were particularly busy with two major school productions scheduled. "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" proved to be superb productions, and a great deal of credit for making these plays so memorable can go to the many students who helped with set construction. One of the great joys for me this year was working with so many happy and enthusiastic students, adding their artistic touch to many aspects of the sets. This year's plays will certainly live in the memories of all students involved in their production. Term 3 also saw a revival in the making of stock whips within the HOG. This activity proved to be popular with the Mackie students and the sound of cracking whips could be heard around the school for many days. Canoe making has also made a comeback, after the moulds were re-discovered at Christian College. A photography group under the guidance of Miss Kylie Rogers (1990) has been operating throughout the year on a Friday after school. Kylie has kindly given her time to assist our students with their interests in photography and we thank her most sincerely for all her efforts this year. As those who enter the doors of the HOG find out, our facility is also open to the public seven days a week. It continues to attract membership from the community, averaging one new member per week. We are once again providing the facilities for up to eight individuals and their helpers for a Stroke Support Group, which comes under the auspices of Illawarra. This year Karingal have also approached us for use of our facilities, and this has been going ahead on a Friday. The College enjoys enormous community support because of these programs and it is important that we offer this service in future years. The list of activities which students have been involved in are too numerous to mention, but those who have found their way to the HOG this year have enjoyed their experiences. As our society continues its move into the technological age, it will be important that the HOG offers its students both a blend of the old and the new.

There is a solid commitment there to not losing sight of our heritage of the past, but we also need to prepare our students for the future. In conclusion, our year has been both a challenging and rewarding one. I would like to thank most sincerely all members of staff who have helped in the running of the HOG this year, as well as Mr John Warner for all his time and guidance with our Model Engine program. The HOG could not function without the dedicated input of staff and members such as John. Finally I wish to make special mention of Mr Robert Wells who will be retiring at the end of this year. Mr Wells has been a most valuable and dedicated member of the HOG staff over the past twenty years, and he has given great service to the HOG over that time. He has been a tireless worker and over the years been of great assistance to the previous Warden, Mr Fred Elliott, and also to me. I shall miss his friendly and gentlemanly nature as well as his wealth of experience in so many areas. On behalf of all members of the House of Guilds, I wish both Mr and Mrs Wells all the best in their retirement and thank them for their years of service to The Geelong College. MR P.C. TAYLOR Warden, House of Guilds

AUSTIN GRAY CENTRE

ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS

1994 was a very busy year at the Austin Gray Centre. The entrance driveway from Aphrasia Street was passageway for many diverse users and hirers of the centre as well as a large percentage of active students from both Senior and Junior schools. The following groups from beyond our fences were weekly or monthly visitors:The Geelong Woodcrafters, The Barwon Valley Woodwrights, The Geelong Experimental Model Engineers, The Geelong Eisteddfod Society The Geelong Youth Band, The Geelong Musical Teachers' Association, The Geelong Concert Band, The Geelong Symphony Orchestra, The Cello Association, The Cousen Collection Drama Group, The Geelong Wind Symphonia, and The Geelong Musical Society. Annual meetings were held by the Pegasus Alpine Club and The Geelong College Parents Association. The Centre was also the venue for the farewell to Ray Deans, Property Manager for the last thirty-two years. Our part of the campus thanks Ray for all the practical gymnastics he has performed to keep us operating smoothly. As can be seen from the House of Guilds report, membership remains high and the Centre continues to be a surprising discovery for many of Geelong's senior citizens who have time on their hands. The Austin Gray Staff, students and members were saddened by the death in May of Mrs Alison Gray who had continued to be a kind and interested benefactor. As you may read elsewhere, Mr Robert Wells, who has been conducting Woodwork classes for twenty years, is retiring at the end of 1994. The Austin Gray Centre has indeed been fortunate to have a craftsman with such skills and teaching ability. He will be sorely missed, and we wish him a long and healthy retirement. Appointed in his place will be Miss Jennifer Ross who is currently lecturing in Wood Technology at Melbourne University. The area of Applied and Fine Arts undergoing major moves into the technological era is undoubtably that of Graphic Communications. Throughout 1994 Mr David Andrews has been attending further study in Melbourne to keep abreast of Commputor aided Design, Image Manipulation and Pre-press Artwork. His studio has also moved towards Dry Dark Room Image Creation. In 1995 his equipment will be networked to Woodcraft and Art to enable the interchange of design by this technology. Exhibitions have been held in the school Gallery for all year levels and have encompassed all departments within the Applied and Fine Arts. Quite outstanding designs have been accomplished and the standard of finish often appears beyond that of student years. This always seems more mystifying when one remembers that the young creator is confronted by a totally blank roll of silk, sheet of paper, stretcher of canvas, chunk of clay or block of wood ! Students of the V.CE. continue to set themselves very high standards and I am indebted to all of the teachers in this area who have patiently conducted them through another rewarding year.

FAMILY FIGHTS

MR T.A.EGAN - Director

"Don't! That's mine!" "Is not, it's mine!" "Give it back!" "Muuuummy!" A typical family fight; a very common occurrence in almost every household. From toddlers to supposedly mature teenagers, based on the smallest of incidents and occurring at least once daily, fights amongst siblings are so different to arguments between friends or others. Children are afraid to do anything too rash for fear of a 'good spanking' from the ever-powerful mother and they never last more than a few minutes. Ever since we were toddlers, we have fought with our sisters and brothers. The youngest argue back and forth with "You are!" "Are not!" "Are so!" "Am too!" then end with a screaming match after one child has scratched the other's eyes out. In contrast, the 'middle-aged' children argue with brains. They try to think of piercing comments to make the other retreat, hurt and emotionally stabbed. Comments such as "You're a dobber!" or "You've got no friends!" These, of course, advance into more sophisticated and unrepeatable remarks as the brood grows older and useless slaps turn into vicious punches and scratches. Although the nature of the fights become progressively more violent, the basis of the argument is generally the same regardless of the children's age. Family arguments normally stem from the smallest occurrences, things which would be passed without thought between friends. These occurrences, although minute, mean so much to win and are treated as the Third World War. Examples of incidents which trigger these conflicts are: the biggest piece of cake; the choice of TV. shows; sitting in the front seat of the car, and something as small as a refusal of a request to close a door. These quarrels would ordinarily not occur, but between siblings they are the key to satisfaction. At the climax of a row, one child comes out with the ever-predictable, "I'll tell Mum!" or "Let's just ask Mum, then!" The mother then has three options; firstly, to take a side and punish one child, not actually having any idea what the argument is about. The mother, of course, always makes the wrong decision and condemns the wrong child; secondly, to punish both children simply for fighting and if in a car, use the line that must have been taught to all mothers at mothers' school - "If I have to stop this car you'll both get a spanking and you'll both be walking home!"; and thirdly, to ignore it and say, "Sort it out between yourselves!" (the easiest option by far). After this, mother's scene is over, but the argument continues backstage. One major downfall in a family fight is if you are the youngest. The older children always seems to come out victors. They can use their strength, stinging words and their presence to force other younger family members into a state of fear. Bribery always seems to do the trick, and also a slight punch in the arm, not too hard though, as mother will be straight on the scene and this will result in an outright loss. Although these battles are almost instantly forgotten, at the time they are extremely important and, for your personal satisfaction and for the enjoyment of irritating your brothers and sisters, you cannot afford to lose them. REBECCA O'LOUGHLIN - Year 11

Thoughts of Home

DRAMA

Sometimes feeling lonely and unwanted I sit and dream and sigh I miss the familiar sounds of home as the days drag slowly by.

"A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM"

The festivals celebrated there, the delicious Chinese food, most of all the sweet memories puts me into a better mood. A dragon pictured in my mind gently melts away, as the faint sounds of firecrackers interrupts the quiet day. My dreams are blended with my thoughts as I remember my far off home, never will I forget that place, no matter where I roam. I'll think about you, China and then I won't feel blue, I'll scream it out long and loud, China I love you!!! CHINETTA REN - Year 7

Red, smells like a soft scented rose. Feels like smooth velvet. Sounds alarming and looks like a rose red apple. Red is for great happiness. Red, smells like blood, feels like crunching hard sand. sounds noisy and looks like a bright woollen jumper. Red is for companionship. Red, smells like warm smoke, feels like sweat running down your face sounds scary and looks like a swaying flag. Red is for boldness. Red, smells like fear. feels warm like boiled water. sounds sharp and looks like an angry man. Red is for excitement. MELINDA SULLIVAN Year 7

"The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report, what my dream was", Act IV.i.218 It was a very different Geelong College indeed which last grappled with the script of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" some fourteen years ago ... a place struggling desperately to escape the attitudes, affectations and fashion of the nineteen seventies. With the exception of a select few of the senior staff, the school and the Drama Department in particular seems to have been largely successful in throwing off the shackles associated with the previous generation of actors in embracing a new, contemporary outlook in everything it undertakes; a tradition affirmed by its most recent success. The play, which traces the dubious confrontations of three vastly different worlds, upholds all the great precepts of comedy established since men first donned lycra tights and danced across the stage as fairies. The honour of leading these dances was bestowed upon the King and Queen of the fairies (Stewart Harris and Clare Dowling), who took to the roles with impressive authenticity. Puck, played by Ranie Daw, was the instrument of disaster devised by Shakespeare in order to bring this fairy kingdom into contact with "The Lovers" (Amelia Johns, David McGuinness, Olivia Morris and David Neal). And in keeping with the unwritten law that all tragedies are finished by a death and all comedies with a marriage, the final scenes of the play celebrate the marriage of The Lovers and the Duke of Athens (Nathan Lambert) to the Queen of the Amazons (Rachel Dickie). As part of these festivities "the hard-handed men of Athens" played by Sam Smith, Jo-Anne Dawson, Abbie Huxley, Jodie Griffiths, Miranda Nation and

The cast

Fairies

Ainslie Tamplin, rehearse and present their unique interpretation of Pryamus and Thisbe, thus ending the play as it began: with love, mirth and just a little incompetence. The transition from the initial direction of Mr Roland (forced to leave the play due to illness) to that of Miss Sarah Wilson would, under any other conditions, have constituted a real crisis. And it is a testament to her determination and fresh vision that the group remained unified and focused in the face of difficult circumstances. (There are few things as volatile as a disoriented thespian). Indeed it was perhaps this spirit of co-operation and unity which was the production's primary strength. With the flamboyant and spirited stage management of Mrs Gainey who seemed, at times, to rely more on her highly renowned female intuition than any visible system, the back-stage preparations proved seamless. Bringing a mellow voice of wisdom and experience to the set, the directing assistance given by Mr Andrew Gibson gave depth and credibility to

the central scenes of the "Mechanicals". Never one for histrionics, Mr Gibson spent most Sunday rehearsals sitting intently at the back of the darkened Morrison Hall, content to boom the occasional command towards the actors on stage ... save for the Cuban cigar and brandy balloon, the image was all but complete. Undertaking texts as "dated" Miranda Nation as those of Shakespeare is arduous at the best of times and the challenge remained to bring his timeless themes into a form accessible to a young, modern audience. By combining the obvious attraction of staging the play in the grounds of the school with a modern set and distinctly contemporary costumes, a great deal of commitment and perseverance resulted in a product which both satisfied the TV generation whilst also doing justice to the script and preserving the integrity of the play as a whole. To that end, a great many people worked tirelessly during the months preceding the performance and the cast extend their sincerest thanks for this collective effort. To Mr Roland, Mrs Gainey, Mr Gibson, Mr Taylor, Mrs Mitchell and most particularly Miss Wilson, our gratitude lies with you all. DAVID NEAL

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY "Welcome to the tale of a delicious adventure in a wonderful land. You can tell it will be delicious. Can't you smell it already? Oh how I love that gorgeous smell." (Narrator's opening lines) As soon as the Narrator (Felicity Emselle) entered the open space in Morrison Hall, for the first time the delicious fantasy of this play had begun, for the combined presence of hundreds of tiny children who surrounded her were at once captives and contributors to the excitement of the whole play. Their wonder-filled tiny faces stared up with awe as they took in the breathtaking sets and came face to face with many of the stereotypical 'horrid' characters. But the mention of Willy Wonka's (Ben Knight's) name led to greater excitement and fantastic concepts, such as Scrumdiddlyumptious Bars and Candy balloons, "which you blow up to huge sizes before you pop them with a pin and gobble them up", stretched the imagination. Everyone, from child to adult, was caught up in this one big dreamlike experience. Within any fairytale, but in particular this one, normality is a scarce item to find, but the Bucket family came close to fitting such a category. The poor unfortunate family of the hero of the play, Charlie Bucket (George Taylor), had only meagre hopes to live on from day to day, so the day Charlie discovers a golden ticket wrapped secretly in one of Willy Wonka's delicious chocolate bars, dreams become reality for the Buckets, especially for Charlie and his Grandpa Joe (Josh Considine). As the play unfolds the audience enters every marvellous room in the factory and we are introduced to Wonka's extraordinary workers. These are the OompaLoompas - strange beings from a mythical land who share with us their playful but mocking songs about the horrible children who disappear one by one. The message of the play is perhaps simplistic in the extreme but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a funfilled and exciting play with a message for all of us. It is the greedy, attention-seeking, spoilt-rotten children

Augustus Gloop (Nathan Seeckts), Veruca Salt (Georgie Lee), Violet Beauregarde (Feme Millen) and Mike Teavee (Ross Watson) who, along with their equally spoilt and annoying parents, all come to nasty but deserving ends, and the genuine, honest and sincere character of the hero, Charlie Bucket, was victorious. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was an adventure for all involved and with a total of six performances (three matinees and three night shows), we had the opportunity to share our excitement and perform for an extensive range of people of all ages. Although the cast takes the immediate accolades, in this case it was such a dedicated, integrated group effort that the honour roll for all contributors is so numerous that a heart-felt thanks must go to each and every contributor, both off stage as well as on stage. Particular thanks, however, must go to Mr Taylor, Mrs Mitchell and Mr Hannah for their tremendous efforts in the creation of the sets, costumes and musical assistance respectively. To Miss Wilson, a most dedicated and worthy director, we offer our special thanks and deep gratitude for a truly wonderful experience and congratulations on a unique achievement.

ANGELA NATION - Year 6

JORDANA CLARK - Year 6

I have never felt so conscious of my surroundings. In the broad, shadowless light of noon, the sunsaturated landscape reminded me of the urban wastelands I have witnessed in New York and Connecticut, viewed through much the same quivering glassy haze of damning and perpetual heat. The mucky shoreline was rimmed with clumps of rotting seaweed, fish bones and sprinklings of colourful, glittering garbage. I had winced at the sound of children shrieking further up the beach, scuffing about on the sand with their slobbery, sweating dogs. Beyond this vexing flurry of activity, I could just make out a greasy expanse of factories and steaming silos, ugly and stinking violations. As the hours dragged on my discomfort intensified. The other people on the beach hadn't noticed me. I lay there on the towel, sifting the gritty sand through my fingers, staring at them and then the sea, expressionless yet smouldering as if one of the hotdog picnickers were browning on the public grills. I was scared by how I could appear normal and regular, so much like everyone else when inside me I felt so distant from the human race in so many frightening ways and finally felt so useless. It was impossible to escape the heat, so intense and so relentless that the bright blue sea, with its little rubbishy wavelets lured me. The water stretched out for miles, flat and pulsing like a big blue wasteland and a large grey rock, like the upper half of an egg poked out of the water, a few miles from the stony headland. I began to consider the odds of being able to accomplish drowning myself, of being able to sink steadily below the waves, letting the water gorge my lungs and bloat my body. No one on the beach would even notice I had gone. As I approached the water, my eyes fixed on the egg rock, my heartbeat thumped and boomed like a dull motor inside my stupid head, an insistent affirmation of my being. Swimming out slowly towards the rock, I began to resent my body's efficiency as I have done so many times before. It was too strong and too clever for me, with all its little tricks that saved me time and time again as if I deserved to live after trying to escape to death. If I had complete control I would be dead in no time. I would simply have to catch it off guard and ambush it swiftly and powerfully or else it would trap me and punish me forever. After a while I stopped paddling. I decided to drown myself then and there but the water kept squeezing me out as I ducked and buckled and dived. It spat me out into the glaring light and soon I realised I was beaten. For some reason I couldn't help smiling as I dragged my drained, dough-pale body out of the water and onto the sticky sand. I looked back towards the rock, grey and bobbing, mocking me as the musing waves frothed and broke against it. The numbness of death I yearned for had been snatched from my reach once again.

ANGEL'S DREAM

My part in the play.

(In Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the D'urbervilles", Angel Clare sleepwalks, carrying his bride, Tess, in his arms) Dead! Dead! Dead! A sheet to shroud thy body, royal, though stained with ancestry. These coarse threads, pale as thy cheeks, not worthy the fine texture of thy form. My poor, poor Tess - my dearest, darling Tess! So sweet, so good, so true! My wife - dead, dead! Your body light, drained of your precious sap. Yet I bore you in my arms, a frothy profusion of muslin, knee deep in the swollen water. Rachel, for whom the burden of three Leahs rendered the journey divine.

I w a s in the Bicentennial play, I w a s in the first scene! Big Stage, Huge Bright lights, Enormous C r o w d of p e o p l e , I w o r e a green coat, With gold r i b b o n a n d Gold buttons. I sat on a chair, on stage In t h e front I w a s n ' t scared I k n e w my lines. I said my lines. A n d t h e n we d r a n k Ribena . . .

Dead! Dead! Dead! Arms of pure marble, once veined with life, now cold, damp, as though dipped in whey. Fingers, unfurled petals on delicate stems, clutching the sailcloth in the rain. Hair, dewy with the crystals of tiny droplets, unfastened; seaweed coated with soft sea spray. A rough calico bonnet curtaining fine porcelain, a pale carnation, sprinkled with dew, Artemis smocked as a dairymaid. A luminous ghost at my side, the peal of ethereal bells thrice has formed a circle of sound, silencing three pensive shadows. Your face, contorted, silhouetted in the gilded frames Tess, your fingers and mine, intertwined in the glassy fluid. The string of jewels, crystal drops of diamonds glinting maliciously, the firelight heating them into glowing embers, ever tightening their hold, scorching, burning, choking. Your vulnerable neck, white as milk. This bridge that stands o'er the river where inward currents churn and swirl, unf athomed depths distorting the sacred moon, a fragmented wafer of light. Eyes, diluted with devotion, almost opaque like the dark chasms of bottomless pools. Branches extend as hostile fingers, intercepting water weeds that latch as tendrils of your dark hair, swirling fleetingly on the surface, only to be sucked beneath the gyrating current. Sleep my love, with mist your funeral veil, its crystal droplets coating your lashes. These humble stones your coffin, empanelled with moss and lichen, your nocturnal velvet. Sleep my love, these soiled lips that seal your fate. Your only candles the studded phosphorescence of the stars; their faint gleams warm the cold stones that nurse your head. FLEUR WEBER - Year 12

BUSH

More than 500,000 people have fled Rwanda to escape hunger and war. The Government hasn't taken into consideration that. . .

Peaceful can be everywhere, natural beauty which we are wrecking. The stillness and cleanliness of the air with wild galahs and parrots calling. The sound of a stockman's horse's hooves clip clopping outback away from the smog and business of the city, though sometimes the bush can be quite near the city. An old gum tree in the middle of a park represents a playful spot. Kids running, jumping, having fun. It can be sunny or cold - cold with billy tea damper and a campfire. Sunny with a billabong and fresh wholesome fruit and food. I love the bush. A place of belonging.

SHEEP AND PARAKEETS AND MENTAL BLOCKS Screen flickers, computer beeps smugly. The radio fades in and out of reception; only after plugging the antenna in will it work in crystal clear stereo. I stare blankly at the screen begging my brain to start sending images so I may start creating my descriptive writing piece. Cursor winks back, mocking me, endlessly. Sleeping bag retains my limited body heat; I long for a heater. Aimless chattering of parakeets outside my window diverts my limited attention. No need for them to worry; no Work Requirements due in twelve hours. They frolic in the birdbath while I slave over the keyboard. I force myself back to a radioactive screen; blankness, dumbness descends once again. The sound of the teenybopper bands playing in the background physically revolts me; I get up to change the channel for the third time. My parents will wonder what I'm doing. Cake's cooking; reminds my stomach that I haven't eaten in ages. When's dinner ready? I type the heading and spend ten minutes underlining and changing its appearance, anything to avoid actually doing some work. Light wrong - can't work in perpetual darkness. I get up and plug the tiny lamp in. Now I'm blinded. I point it against the wall. Swallowing furballs, the cat has made the timely decision to walk on the keyboard, forcing me to swallow cat-fur. I remove her; she jumps up again. The process repeats itself. Zoo, my room resembles a zoo. The puppy barks excitedly at imaginary foes. I try and lure it outside to no avail; it has learnt much in the short time it's been here. No longer will pointing outside and saying "C'mon girl, outside!" work. She knows where the action is. She thinks herself to be big and strong: the stitching of my sleeping bag is no match for her. Mum will not be impressed! Cat hissing, she scratches the inquisitive puppy. I think it has learnt its lesson. The cat is pouting because her space has been invaded by yet another dog. She hates having her food eaten by meddlesome mutts who don't even know which food is which. Sheep, I hate those bloody sheep! I don't know why he bothers having them. He says it keeps his grass neat but it drives me insane. They constantly whinge and I can hear them even across the swamp which divides our properties. Sunlight. I move to pull the curtain to stop the light getting on the screen; can't see a thing when the sun's on it, not that there's much written there at the moment. A door slams repeatedly as if deliberately taunting me, knowing I'll have to get up eventually and shut it properly. Record Book open, sitting there smiling at me, full of essential homework not yet done. I shut it firmly. Frantic squawking of a parakeet signals that one of them has managed to get stuck down the chimney again. Dad will have to traipse up the ladder and try and coax it out. Mum's voice echoes over the intercom with those lovely words, "Dinner's ready, James!". Unfortunately I'll just have to delay this writing piece until afterwards. JAMES FROST - Year 12

NEW BOY Too early, he thought. Far too early. Knowing no-one, and minutes away from the safety of the bell, he was doomed to stand, uncertain as to which of the many clusters of people would be best to tag onto. He knew he was not socially gifted, some might say inept, and the shock of the move from his previous school of ten years had left him with few shreds of his tattered self-confidence to cling to. His arrival had been, in the eyes of his new school mates, as inconspicuous as those of the majority of the school's five hundred-odd students. He had slunk in, as does a guilty teenager late for curfew, and busied himself with his bag, his books. Yet now that was done he had to begin the task of fitting in. The cacophony of voices rang in his ears, mixing into an array of shouts of delight, and howls of derision, the typical adolescent greeting calls. He wished he could capture the sound and hide it, as it only amplified his own lengthy silence, yet it was part of the intricate schoolyard social scene which made it possible for him to blend in, or to remain alone, and, perhaps, seem aloof. All around were faceless people, smiling, laughing, wrestling, hugging, recounting tales of holidays and of others, and revelling in tales of themselves. He moved slowly, gracefully even, through the swirling, moving crowd, painfully conscious of his own path: dodging not pushing; too fearful to begin to carve for himself a niche in a community he feared may reject him. Here he must start anew - a fresh beginning many had said. Yet to comprehend so much under such strict circumstances; to abide by new rules and conventions; to attempt not to insult but to please; all the while fighting, running uphill. Words to look out for, indeed, words to grow to dread. Words which carried the venom of a tiger snake, and landed with the subtlety of a Scud missile. He would be insulted, his name would be slurred, as would his mother's, his father's, his brother's, his sister's. He looked different, and spoke a foreign dialect. They feared him. Through fear spread malice. Through malice they dominated. The bell. So sweet, drowning all but thoughts. Yet a signal for destruction of the ordered mayhem which had evolved as playground numbers swelled. Now there was chaos, stamping, stomping feet, all with somewhere to go - except his. His had nowhere to go, they were lost. His "buddy" had enquired as to his wellbeing earlier on, and on receiving a negative reaction had been glad to return to his friends, where he could once more cloak his fears. Yet all was not well, he was lost in this culture, in this language, in this casual existence. Classes would be easy, he knew that. As long as he could immerse himself in work. He must remember not to be too early, he thought. Not too early. JONATHON REICHL - Year 12 Right: CAMERON HUCKER - Year 11

THE RELAY

I feel like a can-opener Always going round in circles Never going anywhere All I do is get picked out of the drawer Turned round and round Then put back in To rest my spinning head.

The afternoon sun that had warmed the backs of the crowd had slipped behind the large hill at Kardinia Park. Everyone wrapped their sleeping bags and rugs tightly around them as they waited patiently for the third last event of the day to start, the under fifteen girls' freestyle relay. The girl stretched her legs as the whistle blew and climbed onto the blocks. She was tall and lanky, but had a well-defined muscular physique. "Take your marks." Muttering to herself, silently praying, she bent down gripping the blocks with her fingers and toes. "Bang!" Stunned, she dived into the water like a seagull plunging, gliding after a fish. Blowing out air, she turned her head briefly and surveyed the water, looking for her opposition. Realising she was in front, as usual, she powered down the pool hoping her other team members would do as well as she had. As the second girl hit the water the coach anxiously checked his stop-watch and then the program. He knew his team wasn't the fastest and after boasting to everyone, he knew he had a reputation to maintain. "Hurry-up!" he cried, "what have I trained you for? You can go faster. Faster, faster, faster!" The last swimmer at the end of the pool was going crazy, leaping around, yelling out, "Go, go. Come on you're nearly there," as she clambered on to the blocks. The third swimmer slammed her hand against the wall as the final swimmer's body slapped the surface of the water. Every time she turned her head to the side, gasping for breath, she could hear the spectators' shouts of encouragement. Okay, she thought, half way there and we're coming third. Not too bad. Meanwhile the other three were literally screaming. It wouldn't be odd if the first swimmer added another medal to her collection, for she'd already won three earlier in the day. She had medals and trophies plastered all over her walls and shelves, one more wouldn't make much difference. She knew the others would be happy if they got medals. The coach wanted them to break the record and win. They had trained so hard for this event. "Go, go, you can make it, come on!" he shouted. "About five metres to go," she thought, "I'm going to make it!" Suddenly a spurt of energy came from nowhere and her long arms cleanly sliced the water. She moved a body length in front of the girl next to her. She put her arm out striving for the wall. Bang! She lifted her head and saw the smiling faces. Knowing they'd won!

The other day while I sat watching my two-year old sister Stephanie being Superwoman, I remembered the days when my five-year old brother Xavier was also two .. . . . . It was an autumn morning. Mum was cooking a roast. I was building a Go-kart with Dad in the garage and Xavier was playing in the sandpit making a bridge. Suddenly Xavier had an excellent idea - one he had never thought of before!! He would make a concrete mixer! The laundry door was wide open, so he could easily take sand in through the laundry door and put it in the dryer to make a concrete mixer. He started to bring spades and spades of sand into the dryer. He was leaving a small trail of sand from the sandpit to the laundry by accident. Meanwhile Mum had seen the trail of sand and headed for the laundry to see what was happening. Xavier was just about to turn the dryer on when Mum arrived. Mum had to take all the sand out of the dryer and she told Xavier never again to put sand into the dryer EVEN to make a concrete mixer.

THE MAGIC OF LOVE In the very beginning, in a time so long ago, A time before time, they came, Came into this very land, this land we now call home, But it was a different England they saw then, Without a curse of greed, or the awful need, For wealth, power or reputations, These brave men found a land of dreaming, A land of misty mornings, of love and laughter, Something that we now try desperately to recreate, And why not, are we not now invincible, unstoppable? Lords of the world, and masters of its secrets, The ultimate driving being, But we lost something all those years ago, That a thousand Einsteins will never find again, Try as they will AARON DAVIES - Year 11

MIDDAY RENDEZVOUS The old lady sat in front of her television, drifting in and out of sleep on a hot, late Summer, afternoon. She slept in this manner every afternoon, mainly because her medication, which consisted of at least five different pills each morning, caused drowsiness. She had been to church that morning and heard Father Flannigan give a most impressive sermon. After the short walk home, she was exhausted, so she sat in her large armchair to catch her breath. She had awakened at precisely five minutes to midday, as she always did, so that she could prepare herself for the man of her dreams, her secret lover with whom she had a 'rendezvous' five days a week. Not many people knew of her passion-filled meetings, except for her son's family, who caught on to her secret when she had stayed with them for a fortnight. Admittedly, she did feel guilty, her husband only sixteen years dead, and she was here, betraying his memory five days a week. But still, despite the guilt and shame, she would continue these 'liaisons' for as long as she could keep up the frantic pace of one-and-a-half hours every weekday. Maybe that was

why she insisted on going to church four times a week, to seek forgiveness for her infidelity. She looked at the clock. Two minutes to twelve. He would arrive at midday as he always did, except for the odd Sunday or Monday night, but that was only for special occasions. She decided to watch television until he arrived. It would not be long now. The old lady would always feel totally fulfilled after he had gone. He always brought something special into her life, a kind of magic, that perked her up just enough to keep her going until their next little ninety minutes of pleasure. She knew that he had other women. It was inevitable, with his looks and charm, she wouldn't be surprised if there was another lover of his in the same street. However, that would never change her feelings for him. Even if all the other lovers rejected him, she would accept him with a passionate, beating heart, filled with love for only him. Friday afternoon at 4.30 pm, the old lady sat, dozing, dreaming of her one and only love, and the next time she would meet with him. Usually she would have to wait until Monday, but this week was special. He told her that he would next meet her on Sunday night at 7.30 pm. She could hardly wait. This time he would make her laugh with tales of what he had done with his mates over the last few years. He was presenting "Laughs and Larrikins". "Oh Ray!" she groaned in her sleep as she sat in her large leather armchair, with the television flickering on Channel Nine. HUGH O'DONNELL - Year 12

CRICKET 1st XI It is with a sense of deja vu that I write this cricket report, as we finished in exactly the same position on the A.P.S. ladder last year, that being second, which shows the strength of College cricket. After a prolonged season, round one of Summer Sport was played in Term IV1993, at Xavier College. After winning the toss, we chose to bat first and the champion batsman, Andrew Pooley, got his season off to a great start with 67 runs out of a team total of 165. As this was a one-day fixture, we knew we had a good chance of victory if we bowled and fielded well. Nathaniel Ramm bowled exceptionally well to take 4/28, and Sam Smith took 3/35 on our way to dismissing Xavier for 150. Round two saw us at home against Caulfield Grammar, a team not noted for its attacking style of play. Once again we won the toss, and batting first, compiled a healthy total of 6/206. Andrew was the main run scorer with 88. Matthew Wilkinson bowled well in the Caulfield innings to capture two wickets, with Caulfield falling 14 runs short of our total. Going into the Christmas break we were sitting pretty at two games played, two wins recorded. The holidays involved the playing of two games, one against Yarra Valley Grammar and the other against Brighton Grammar. We won both these fixtures with the highlight undoubtedly being Cameron Day's sterling hundred, and the classy 96 by Edward Siddall. Heading back into the official contests, we met Scotch at their picturesque surroundings. Unfortunately, this game ran along the lines of a Scotch fairytale. After being 3 for 160, we collapsed unceremoniously to be all out for 198. In reply, a young man called Matthew Gwynn made 183 not out, to almost eclipse our score by himself. James Ryan took three wickets, but other than that, the less said about this game the better. Next we were lined up to play Carey Grammar, keen to avenge our loss. We batted first, with the highlight being

Sam Smith's 50 not out and the lowlight being the state of the ground. Andrew decided to exert his considerable talents in the Carey innings, taking 5 wickets in a fiery display of seam bowling. This was an important game in the context of the season, with only two results being recorded due to the unseasonably wet weather. Our road trip to Haileybury College was our challenge the following week. Once more we batted first, and compiled a good score of 9/265. Ed made a patient 40, and the cap-changing Cam Day also reached the 40 mark. On the Friday night we stayed up in Chadstone, for a very enjoyable evening, with the more educated members of the team going to see Schindler's List, and others earning nicknames for their deeds that evening, and I sincerely hope that similar expeditions will be made in the future. On the Saturday, we successfully dismissed Haileybury on a pitch that turned prodigiously with Andrew Pooley and Darren Fletcher bowling very well. The St Kevin's game was billed as Geelong College versus Damian Shanahan, but this was not to be as neither of these two entities did much good in the game. Our batsmen one by one committed suicide on a pitch that, whilst being a little juicy, was certainly not the minefield we made it look. The result was College all out for 207. Shanahan did not feel the need to bowl. In reply, we bundled out St. Kevin's for 230 in what was our premier bowling performance for the season, and Nathaniel in particular bowled superbly to earn six wickets. Round eight saw us playing a very weak Geelong Grammar who were trying to come to terms with life A.D. which to all cricketers means After (Justin) Dery. We bowled first, for one of the few times for the season, and dismissed G.G.S. for 180. Nathaniel was again the destroyer taking four wickets off a marathon 28 overs. In reply we ground our way to a win, with Sam showing uncharacteristic concentration in his 36 not out. Stephen Bennett made 22 in an entertaining innings, and Andrew made sure of the win in a Geoff Marsh-like 81. It was a convincing win, but a boring game for spectators as neither team ever really showed any interest in playing attacking cricket.

Round nine was again interrupted by inclement weather, and a Melbourne Grammar team so scared of losing that they did not try to win. After we declared at 183, with Nathaniel and James Ryan doing well with the bat, Melbourne made all bowlers' figures look good, compiling 120 for 6 off 55 overs. The highlight of the season on the ground for me was unquestionably in our contest against Brighton in Round ten. We bowled first and dismissed B.G.S. for 164 with one over to be played on Friday. Eddie Siddall survived, taking 5 off the over to leave us in the box seat for Saturday's entertainment. We decided after much urging from Mr Seeckts to have a dip, and raced past our set total off only 29 overs, with Stewart Harris making a calypso 67 off only 70 deliveries faced, and Cam Day 25. We bowled our part timers to the Brighton batters in an attempt to force an outright result, with the catch of the millenium being taken by Stewart Harris, and the talent of Cam Day came to the surface as he baffled the batsman with all types of bowling. Steve Bennett bowled beautifully, and took a pearler at square leg. When the declaration came, we had 14 overs to make 135. We were full of optimistic hope at achieving this total, and took the unusual step of putting in a pinch-hitter to open the batting. The second innings was the most enjoyable cricket to watch ever, and the ball was hit to the boundary with monotonous regularity. The stars of the proceedings were Stewart Harris, rounding off a superb game with 19 off 20 balls, and the gun, Andrew Pooley, who went berserk, making 37 off 18 balls. With two balls to go, we needed 10 runs to win, and Andrew was on strike. He hit this delivery for a towering six, over midwicket, to have the dream of every young cricketer, four to win off the last ball. The ball was pitched up near the popping crease, and Andrew swung hard, straining every sinew of muscle in his powerful forearms, crunching the ball back to where the last ball had gone. We all watched the shot, jumping up and down hoping for a boundary. It raced away to midwicket, but was picked up centimetres inside the line by a lonely fielder, out in the distance who hurled it back in. The result was two runs. This was an exciting finish to a magnificent game, and one that will live long in the hearts of those who were there. The last round was an emotional one for the Year 12s who had played in the lsts, as we knew it was our last game of cricket on the Main Oval. We were determined to do what the rowers try so hard to do, that is win! Andrew decided he was going to have a crack at Mr Sheahan's record of runs made, and missed out by, as Rex Hunt would say, the proverbial "Woofteenth". He batted brilliantly to make 131 on the first day, to allow us to declare at 7/308. Sam opened the bowling, and took a wicket in his very first over, prompting Mr Seeckts to come out and say a few words of congratulations, which set us on our way. Sam ended up with four wickets, and the team ended up with a win, but the day was not over yet. Andrew played in a style reminiscent of Richie Richardson at Perth in the second innings as he made 90 off just 16 overs. This display of hitting was awesome, and left us in no doubt as to who was the premier cricketer of the year. Looking at the year from a purely statistical point of view, we played ten games, had 7 wins, 2 losses and one draw. The highest run maker was Andrew Pooley with 685 runs and the highest wicket taker was Nathaniel Ramm with 27 scalps. We finished outright second. Finally, I would like to thank Mr Seeckts for his time

and efforts this year, and the joint Vice-Captains, Andrew Pooley and Stewart Harris for their support, and indeed the thirteen members who played this year, in no particular order: Edward Siddall, Cameron Day, Sam Smith, James Ryan, Nathaniel Ramm, Campbell Morgan, Stephen Bennett, Darren Fletcher, Lincoln Thomson and Matthew Wilkinson. Thanks everyone for an enjoyable and successful year. I wish all those returning next season the very best of luck in the quest to win the premiership. CLINTON PEAKE - Captain

2nd XI This was another most enjoyable season - played in genuine cricket weather - culminating in a most satisfactory win against Wesley who had defeated us earlier in the year. In this away game, Hugh O'Donnell recorded the highest score in living 2nds' memory with 96, and Benjamin Barr negotiated his eighth N.O. in 9 innings. It is good to recall the times we scored 200 plus, when Andrew Reeve 59, joined Hugh O'Donnell. Michael Varley 56; Matthew Wilkinson 53; Tim Nicholls 53 and 49; Matthew Pettig 57; and new boy Brett Wallace all set the scoreboard ticking at times. Captain, Mark McConachy, and Andrew Reeve were a more than useful opening pair. Lincoln Thomson was the best of our bowlers with 17 wickets after Christmas and quite a few snicks through slips. Ryan Thompson was most effective in breaking partnerships, and Michael Varley and Matt Pettig supplied spin when needed. We played three exciting matches in successive weeks; when we lost to Scotch by 4 runs, Haileybury by 1 after scoring 228; and then the next week defeated St Kevin's by 3 runs. A settled side for most of the year, only losing wicketkeeper Steve Bennett to the lsts, we acknowledge Mark McConachy as a fine leader and a courageous wicketkeeper. REV I.V PARTON - Coach

3rd XI The 3rd XI had an enthusiastic squad of players in the 1993-94 season. The players in this squad were Matthew Barkley, Charles Baulch, Simon Basselot-Hall, Matthew Buckis, Nicholas Clark, Bennet Coad, Guyon Collins, Chester Conron, Sam Dennis, Russell Dmytrenko, Barnes Fallaw, Dylan Ferrier, Gordon Hickey, Michael Jones, Cameron Knott, George Leishman, Donald Little, Jonathon Reichl, James Taylor, Jayson Ward, Jarrod Witcombe and Lucas Wilson with cameo appearances from Samuel Lucas, Timothy Nicholls and Timothy Malpass. The 3rds played eight games during the season for just two wins, those victories being against Caulfield Grammar in Round 4 and Xavier 4ths in Round 8. Playing at Caulfield, the opposing Captain won the toss and elected to bat first. This proved to be a huge mistake as Tim Malpass, Matthew Barkley, Jonathon Reichl, Matthew Buckis and Jarrod Witcombe made short work of the batsmen. Caulfield were dismissed for 68. College then went in to bat. With Bennet Coad, Jayson Ward, Matthew Buckis and Charles Baulch being dismissed cheaply; the outlook was grim. Then Dylan Ferrier and Barnes Fallaw came to the crease and, with scores of 20 and 26 respectively, determinedly took the

score to 4/70. It was a well-deserved win. The second successful match was played at Xavier College against their 4ths. Xavier went into bat first, and with the help of some great fielding by Matthew Buckis and Sam Lucas the 3rds were able to keep Xavier down to a reachable score of 7/135. College went out to bat and began well with a 40 run partnership between Cameron Knott and Matthew Buckis. Then Sam Lucas strode to the crease to blast the Xavier bowlers for 25 quick runs. Later on in the innings, Steve Bennett and Barnes Fallaw also scored freely with 22 not out and 35 not out respectively. It was a convincing victory that was undoubtedly the highlight of the year. What the 3rds may have lacked in skill was definitely supplemented by a strong, keen and exuberant spirit that made the six losses easy to forget. Many thanks must go to Mr Gilson for being the team's mentor throughout the season. CAMERON KNOTT - Captain

Year 10A The Year 10A team had a successful season with a well balanced batting and bowling side. The batsmen made many runs throughout the season, backed up by a consistent bowling attack. The pick of the bowlers was opener, Cameron O'Brien (113 overs, 20 wickets for 330 runs, best bowling 6/42), while he was well supported by Robert Wettenhall, James Paton and Scott Faulkner. The two spinners, Steven Matheson and Michael Styles, also bowled well. The wicket-keeper, Giles Craig, always tried hard during the season. The batting was led by Scott Faulkner who scored 357 runs for the season for an average of 36. Alistair McArthur was a consistent run-scorer with an average of

26, while Cameron O'Brien made an excellent 98 runs against Geelong Grammar, to average 25. Thanks to Mr Claringbold for a great year and also to the players for their enthusiasm. The team was Scott Faulkner (Captain), Alistair McArthur, Roderick Crawford, Cameron O'Brien, Giles Craig, Scott McDonald, Peter Morgan, Jamie Mackay, James Paton, Robert Wettenhall, Michael Styles, Steven Matheson. SCOTT FAULKNER - Captain The Year 10B side had a fulfilling season but alas only a few wins were recorded. The first fixture was a home game against the always strong Brighton Grammar. The game took place in wet conditions and therefore had its effect on the players, with only 25 team runs being recorded and a dismal loss to that school by a margin in excess of 50 runs. After the holidays the team came back to a fresh Saturday morning on Rankin Oval and defeated Wesley College by the smallest of margins -1 run. Tom Christensen bowled very well and took 3/13 with other pleasing figures from Cameron Jeremiah; 2/6 and Hong Giang 2/19. The innings total of 105 runs were scored quickly, with extras top scoring. Hong Giang, Cameron Jeremiah and Andrew Shaw again starred. Yet batting was poor with only 6 going to Hong and the captain, Ben Marchesani. Twenty-six February saw the one and only Away fixture for the season at Xavier. Andrew Shaw shone with a unique 36 accompanied with the performance of Hong, again showing his all-round ability; 31. The ball was certainly tossed around but the best figures went to Tom Christensen 2/22 and Jonathan Lo 2/26. Chapel Oval awaited us on the morning of 5 March to what should have been a victory against Scotch. The

The 9As played only six games as one was cancelled. We had two wins and four losses with a lot of close results. Everyone performed well and tried hard. Will Swinton kept well and got better as the season wore on. Will Swinton and Andy Barkley opened but with not much success, making only 30 runs each. Our best bowler was Nathan Templeton who captured 12 wickets for a total of 78 runs off 41 overs. David Drummy bowled well in only four games taking 6 wickets for 72 runs off 34 overs. Steven Cox, Dale King, Tom Bridges and David Clarke also bowled well. Luke Tamplin and Dale King batted well with 120 runs each at an average of 20. Frank DePasquale, Steven Cox and Nathan Templeton were also good contributors with the bat. The players in the 9As were Nicholas Hosking, Luke Tamplin, Steven Cox, Frank DePasquale, David Clarke, Nathan Templeton, Mark Purcell, Dale King, William Swinton, Andrew Barkley, David Drummy, Thomas Bridges, Matthew Gilchrist, Ryan Sharkey and Julian Reichl. On behalf of the 9As, I'd like to thank Mr Clark for coaching us. NICK HOSKING - Captain Nick is to be congratulated on his captaincy and innings of 101 against Carey and 62 against Wesley. MR J.S.

Year 9B

batsmen put on a brave face and carted the bowlers all around the school with Andrew Shaw and Cameron Jeremiah embracing their opening tasks with delight to record 27 and 4 respectively. The Vice-Captain of the team also performed with 32 n.o. Bowling proved to be hazardous with only several wickets falling. Two of these went to Osman Mewett who, on a hat trick, barely missed the middle stump. The final two fixtures of the season saw us go down to Melbourne Grammar and then a nail-biter over St Kevin's. Against Melbourne Grammar, Andrew Shaw proved to be our greatest asset with a 35, Matthew Gilchrist and Michael Bodey also played well, but it was Matthew Gilchrist again who ripped the batsmen's stumps out of the ground with a superb 3/34. The final fixture saw an encore of the previous week with a notable amount of wickets going to Matthew Gilchrist well supported by Michael Bodey, Tom Christensen, Cameron Jeremiah, Jonathan Lo, Hong Giang and Osman Mewett, who bowled consecutive maidens to limit the runs for victory. However, the game was lost by the inevitable snick that went through the vacant first slip position for 4. Here ends the season of highs and lows. Thanks must go to Mr Gow for his support and assistance during the season.

Team: James Dowling (Captain), Christopher Jones, Benjamin Sullivan, Ian Munro, John Hopkins, Matthew Gilchrist, Simon Hobbs, Montgomery Hamilton, Macgregor Dawson, Nicholas Doran, Gareth Kent, Nathan Jose, David Galbally, Nicholas Murphy, Timothy Harris, David Fryman, Julian Reichl, Thomas Anderson, Damian DiStefano, Ryan Sharkey, Andrew Clark, David Clarke, Mark Purcell With twenty-five keen making up the squad for the Year 9B cricket team, consistency of team selection was made difficult. Although not registering a win until the last round of the season, the boys improved immensely as the season rolled on, and had some narrow misses throughout. James Dowling as Captain did a good job of marshalling the troops. Nathan Jose and Mat Gilchrist were the main strikers with the ball, with Chris Jones the batting dynamo, top scoring for the team in each match he played, bar one. Chris was well supported by Ian Munro and Tim Harris who both made solid contributions throughout. Although not getting a regular game the boys fought the season out which was a credit to their character.

ROWING GIRLS' ROWING The 1993/94 senior girls' rowing season all began last November, with the now traditional trek to Nelson, the sleepy hollow wrongly advertised by road signs as "a great place to relax". The local residents braced themselves as we puffed and blew our way down the main street and up the drive to our five day retreat, the glorious Blackwattle Resort. Nestled amongst the trees, the Blackwattle is not your "five-star luxury accommodation". Joking aside, Nelson provided the first three crews with a wonderful opportunity to establish firm friendships and to perfect our rowing styles. This enabled us to represent the College with great enthusiasm and pride. Many people have commented on how high-spirited we appeared throughout our five months of rowing the Glenelg, the Yarra and, of course, the mighty Barwon. Although we didn't always cross the line victorious, we insisted on practising the philosophy, "Life Is Short, Row Hard". The junior crews all experienced personal success and must be congratulated for their determination against some very challenging opposition. The 4th IV had a successful season with many victories to celebrate. Other crews that stood out were the Year 9 2nds, 5ths and 6ths and the Year 10 2nds, 3rds and 5ths. The senior 3rd IV were dominant over all of their A.P.S. opponents and it was inevitable that they would take out a glorious 1st placing in the 1994 Head of the River. Mrs Simpson must be congratulated for her amazing hat-trick with the 3rds. The 2nd IV were outstanding at the Barwon Regatta, winning two divisions over very tough non-A.P.S. schools and the mighty Geelong Grammar, whilst the 1st IV were placed a pleasing second to the girls in pale blue at the Head of the River Final. Success for us did not entail coming first, but the manner in which we went about our racing. It would be wrong of us, however, to take all the credit for our high

1st IV: Meagan Bone, Rhiannon Bourke, Brooke Jolly, Katherine Davis, Gail Rushworth

spirits and competitiveness, for we owe many people our utmost gratitude. On behalf of the female half of the boatclub, I would like to extend my thanks to all coaches, both junior and senior, for the hours of dedication and expertise they offered us, particularly Mrs Joy Simpson, Mr Rob Kemp and Mr Alan Darker. Full credit must also be given to Mrs Margaret Lethbridge and Mr Richard Morris for their ever-supportive guidance, friendship and wonderful organisation. Finally, to our parents we offer great thanks, as we greatly appreciated their ability to withstand our bad moods, early mornings and constant whinging. To the entire Boat Club, my sincere thanks for your genuine support throughout a hectic season. I would like to wish future crews every success in their quest for the ultimate goal, a Head of the River title. BROOKE JOLLY - Captain of Boats

Girls'1st IV As usual the 1994 season started with two rowing camps. The first camp at Nelson proved to be well worthwhile and enjoyable, even though we often found ourselves still rowing while the other crews had finished some time before. The memories of food at the Blackwattle Resort in Nelson and the early mornings and the late nights of the Barwon Camp will remain forever. At the Barwon rowing camp, Alan started us on bike riding for early season fitness and hardening up. The 50 km Lome trip was certainly one to remember. Unfortunately for us, Alan had enjoyed himself so the following Sunday we ventured out around the back-blocks of Bellbrae on our last bike ride for the season. With Jessica Sutherland still smarting from the dreaded kissing disease, Rhiannon Bourke became the newest member for the first regatta of the season. As Alan put it, this provided good race practice and a learning experience. On this occasion we had the boat back on the rack by 8.30 a.m. Much to our delight things eventually improved. Yet another crew change saw us ready for the final two regattas. The seating was as follows: Gail

2nd IV

Rushworth (Cox), Katherine Davis (Str), Meagan Bone (3), Rhiannon Bourke (2), Brooke Jolly (Bow). Our first success after this was making the final of the eight in the Head of the Schoolgirls. We joined the 2nd IV to row in the tandem rigged "Pegasus". This took some getting used to, and we were pleased to come fourth. In the final week, Alan brought out his secret weapon, Robert Gardner. He was kind enough to join us in the mornings at the fresh hour of 6.00 a.m. With his expertise rowing with us in the boat, we were able to pick up a couple of lengths. The Head of the River arrived. We drew the unknown Carey Grammar in the Heat on Friday, which was rather daunting, as they were unable to row all season due to injury. However, they didn't prove to be a problem and we had a comfortable win sending us straight into the Saturday final against Grammar. Here we rowed our best race of the season. We were able to beat rivals, Caulfield Grammar and Wesley College, to come a well deserved second to Geelong Grammar. Overall the season was an enjoyable one even though we were unable to feel the experience of complete victory. KATHERINE DAVIS - Stroke

Girls' 2nd IV The 1994 rowing season was both enjoyable and successful for all members of the 2nd IV, consisting of JoAnne Dawson in Bow, Skye Glover (2), Elly Young (3), Megan Jones as Stroke, coxed by Tammy Higginbotham and coached by Mr Rob Kemp. During the five months of training, we endured two rowing camps and lengthy training sessions to prepare for our first regatta. The best results achieved by the 2nd IV would undoubtedly be at the Barwon Regatta, held on 12 March, when we were entered in two divisions, the Schoolgirl Senior 2nd IV and Women's Junior IV. Our two best races of the season were recorded in both finals where we beat Geelong Grammar for the first and only time. We will never forget the other final where we trailed Loretto by a clear length with 400M to go. Then we rowed through to win by one third of a length. These were both gutsy, and rewarding rows by all. The premiere event of the 1994 rowing season was the annual Head of the River Regatta. The accumulation of the past five months of training became purposeful as our minds and bodies focused on the task ahead. Although the 2nd IV was not victorious in the Head of the River final, we won in one way or another. The determination and enthusiasm of each crew member was second to none. Jo Dawson, Skye Glover, Elly Young, Tammy Higginbotham and Mr Rob Kemp were five people to whom I became very close throughout the rowing season. I would like to thank all members of the Muckettes for the 1994 season, for their friendship, support and desire to achieve the one dream.

Girls' 3rd IV "Season 1993-94" was as successful for the 3rd IV as it has been in previous seasons. Much hard work, both on and off the water, along with the annual trip to Nelson all came together in the final weeks of the season, as the lead up to the momentous regatta, the Head of the River, took place. As we lined up against tough competition the aim was not just to win, but to slaughter the other crews. The 3rd IV was successful in its objective, taking outright line honours and winning by four lengths in a time of 6 mins 08 sees. The success of the crew (which may I add, played host to many crew members during the season) can be credited to the much appreciated coaching of Mrs Joy Simpson. Her dedication and time put into the sport saw us achieve a Head of the River title for Third Division IVs and for herself, a hat trick of which we were pleased to be a part. A special note of thanks must go to all those involved with the 1994 rowing season. Our parents, too, deserve commendation for their patience and getting us to regattas on time. This year's crew consisted of Rebecca O'Loughlin (Bow), Kate Lawler (2), Vickie Mol (3), Athena Lucas (Str), Zoe Harkin (Cox). ATHENA LUCAS Stroke

BOYS ROWING

104

My time rowing for the Geelong College has seen the Boat Club go from strength to strength, with the 1994 rowing season being no exception. The resounding success of the Nelson and Barwon rowing camps helped to develop firm friendships and the great club spirit now associated with the College rowing. These factors, I'm sure, contributed to the outstanding success crews achieved on the water. A valuable lesson I have learnt from rowing is that winning isn't everything or the only thing. Although every rower aspires to win the ultimate prize of a "Head of the River" victory, logically only one crew can win. The pain of coming fourth in the final is something I and the rest of the crew will never get over, but I have realised that there is "life after rowing". The friendships and opportunities offered by rowing are unlike any of those offered by other school sports, and I will miss these immensely. The Junior crews had a fulfiling season, culminating in three respective junior "Head of the River" final victories. All junior rowers should be proud of their effort throughout the season. The dedication and guidance provided by the junior crew coaches was exceptional, and they must be thanked for their fine efforts. Our results certainly are a promising sign for the Boat Club, and it should remain a dominant force in the years to come. ' The senior crews had a mixed success on the water. Whilst not as successful as last year's crews, the 3rd VIII and 1st VIII rowed well to make the 'A' final in the "head of River", with the other senior crews battling for places in their respective 'B' finals. With many rowers from senior crews returning next year, College should once again be respected adversaries in 1995. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the coaches for their tireless effort throughout the season, and especially Mr. Morris, whose enthusiasm and dedication has made The Geelong College Boat Club a great club for every crew.

we came second to Geelong Grammar. The Head of the River Final saw Geelong Grammar, Melbourne Grammar, Brighton Grammar and The Geelong College. Unfortunately that is how the race finished, with College coming an honourable fourth. I must congratulate the crew for outstanding commitment and dedication throughout the season and for the support they gave each other. Thanks to our coach, Mr Peter Philp, for his expert knowledge and commitment toward the crew and for making rowing very enjoyable. The season was one to remember!

NICHOLAS JARMAN - Stroke

SIMON PETTIG - Captain of Boats

Boys' 1st VIII The crew consisted of Stuart Peat (Bow), James Frost (2), Luke Coulson (3), Simon Pettig (4), Timothy Macleod (5), Jack Chisholm (6), Matthew Dimmick (7), Nicholas Jarman (Str), Simon Thomas (Cox), Mr Peter Philp (Coach). The 1993-1994 rowing season began at the usual luxurious resort "Black Wattle" at Nelson. Here we saw excellent rowing by the 1st VIII. School and rowing started in earnest as Term I commenced. As Simon Pettig was heard to have said to his parents, "Rowing is more important than school, Mum". With this motto in mind, the entire crew devoted themselves to circuits and weights, and postponed their homework for a rainy day: it did not rain during the season. The regattas started and we gained placings in almost every one except the Australian Henley. The Head of the River regatta saw the best rowing for the season. In the Heat our biggest threat were the boys from Melbourne Grammar; they were favourites. We were first out of the blocks and we were first home. This led to the Semi where

2nd VIII

Boys' 2nd VIII I have been informed that the Cox or the Stroke of each crew may give this report. Given my size and to prevent any confusion and those really funny jokes about where I should be sitting in the boat, I am in fact the Stroke. Five months ago rowing officially began. We started the rowing season as usual with the ever-popular 2500 ergo. After this, the crew was basically set. We kicked off with the annual trip to Nelson. Nelson, hey, what can I say about it. Instead of dropping us the usual six kilometres out of town and making us run in, it was a measly five. Nelson was full of excitement, and there was always some sort of activity for us to engage ourselves in. We did something different to end our stay at Nelson. On the last night we climbed aboard the Lady Nelson (which is a boat) and we listened to Meat Loaf while the coaches sat on deck.

After Nelson and the holidays which succeeded it we were once again hard at it. Circuits three times a week, ergos three times a week, and rowing. The first regatta was early in the season, the Head of the Yarra. We started in position number 28 and after some strong rowing and excellent stirring from our cox, Hamish Pearce, who had never seen the course before, we managed to pass eight crews, finishing twentieth. Training continued as usual and the regattas leading up to the Head of the River were dotted with mixed success, with wins recorded in Heats and Round Robins but we never managed a win in any of the finals. This season, amongst all the vigorous training, we did find the time to have a lot of fun, sometimes maybe too much fun, hence living up to the perpetual name, "The Muckies". Apart from all the childish attempts to prove ourselves amongst our peers, we did manage some very impressive rowing. This year we smashed the previous "Muckie" swing-through record by twenty-seven seconds. After the five months of intensive training we found ourselves at the starting line sitting at halfslide waiting for the shot gun in the 1994 Head of the River Division 2, Heat 1, boat race. We rowed in bad form thus finding ourselves lining up in the repechage for another try. This race gave us the result we were looking for. Our style was terrible, but who cares, we won. We were placed straight into the Semis finding ourselves up against Brighton Grammar and our old rivals, Geelong Grammar. By now I should expect all senior rowers to be able to recite the inspirational words sung by a truly great man (the lead singer of Survivor) and those words are: "the thrill of a fight is rising up to the challenge of our rival". Our rival was Geelong Grammar and the thrill was certainly there, especially after we realised we were (for once) in front of Grammar from the start. We had half a length by the 800M mark. We maintained this lead until, in the dying strokes of the race, Grammar put in a huge effort and rowed through us, beating us by the smallest of margins. And so we rowed down to the start of the B final, the underdogs for the Bronze but determined to give it our best shot. We started the race in fine form, being last out of the blocks, but we still had to row poorly because anything could happen in a four and a half minute race. At the 1000M mark we were a clear two lengths behind and looking the goods. Only a major gear failure on behalf of our competitors could deprive us of our dream now. As we rowed under the Mclntyre footbridge we could hear our fellow Collegians cheering for us - they wanted the bronze as much as we did, and we weren't going to let them down. As you know, the rest is history, we crossed the line last, we had done it. On behalf of the 2nd VIII1994,1 would like to thank all those who supported and encouraged us throughout the season. I would especially like to thank Mr (Mad Dog) Curnow, our coach, who really made this season one to remember. Your 100% commitment to our crew was inspirational and will never be forgotten. The crew was: David Knight (Bow), Daniel Thompson (2), David Hanna (3), Sam Swinton (4), William Gordon (5), Andrew McDonald (6), Struan Pearce (7), Patrick Van Prooyen (Str), Hamish Pearce (Cox).

Boys' 3rd VIII The 1994 rowing season commenced on a late Spring afternoon when eligible rowers were doing ergos and fighting for a position in the 3rd VIII. From this, Peter Betts, Jeremy Miller, Thomas Billings, Matthew Spokes, Marcus Sutton, Regan Leslie, Tom Lawler and I (Timothy Ayerbe), coxed by George Taylor, were chosen to undertake the "Murphy" rowing program experience. This crew was unchanged until Tom Lawler and Regan Leslie bombed out with injury, only to be replaced with Hamish Heard and the god-like Stuart Anderson. After heavy training at Nelson and on the Barwon Camps, we thought we were finally prepared for the races ahead. After rowing in the Barwon, A.P.S., Scotch Mercantile and Henley regattas, we found that our young crew, although most competitive all season, was being outdone by our rivals, Geelong Grammar. However, the end of March finally came and with it the 1994 Head of the River. In the Friday Heats we lined up against Scotch College and Haileybury College who seemed to us fairly easy. However, the new look Scotch crew took the first place honours, leaving us in the repechage. This outcome saw us against Caulfield Grammar and Xavier College. We won this comfortably. Saturday saw the culmination of six months' training

focussed into one race - the "A" Final, if we got there. The Semis saw the same crews as in our heat, as well as the same result recorded but with a slimmer margin but sending us into the "A" final. After a most inspirational talk by "Murph", we came up to the line against Melbourne Grammar, Scotch and Caulfield. The starter gave the call and we were out of the blocks. At the five hundred metres we were out in front. The middle five hundred saw pain settle in and as this happened the more experienced Melbourne Grammar crew rowed through us. With five hundred metres to go and "Murph" egging us on, we rowed our hardest but a concentration lapse saw Scotch gain the valuable few metres to leave us in third place. All this said and done, I would like to thank the crew, Mr Morris, fellow rowers and coaches, and especially Mr Richard Murphy, for a most enjoyable and memorable season. TIM AYERBE - Stroke

Boys' 4th VIII

"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream." I'm told these words are from an old song to which I can equate various parts of the 4th VIII's past season. At the beginning we were all shapes and sizes; some of us were shy introverts, and others screaming extroverts. Nevertheless, we all had one thing in common - we were all dreadfully unfit. Anyway, allow me to introduce the crew. From bow seat we had Christopher Parker, a country boy, always willing to talk wool prices with the coach to take up time - a smart operator. 2 seat, Sandy Drew, a stomach that needed severe toning and less intake of Fanta. Callan Tenabel in 3, a determined draught horse; Simon Carland in 4, still looked too much like Andrew; Nicholas Burnett - we were soon to book his appointment with Jenny Craig. Keane Girvan in 6 seat left us undecided on whether to put a home address or the boarding house address on the Weight Watchers program (although Keane seemed to have his own way of losing weight). Andrew Carland in 7 seat still looked too much like Simon. Myself, well I wonder who did issue that prescription for steroids. And that left Ross Watson, our cox, who was extremely deceiving, hidden under 4th VIII

those "home boy" pants. Then it was all systems go - "row, row, row the boat" we certainly did a lot of that. At first it was "gently down the stream" and yes, at first again it was "merrily, merrily, merrily" - but not for long. Returning from the long break, our focus was still on distance rowing as we participated in the Barwon training camp. This was followed shortly into the term by the 8.6 km Head of the Yarra, where probably our best performance was recorded with a creditable second in our division. The next regatta was Henley on the Yarra where the sharp bends were all too much for Ross. We saw an easy win turn to disqualification for taking a short cut. Head of the River arrived and the Heats saw us placed third behind the stronger crews of Melbourne Grammar and Geelong Grammar. The repechage left us facing the 'C final after a second place behind Brighton Grammar was recorded. The coach's words of "lose 'C final and no party!" saw us knuckle down and record a win and therefore give us a place in the 'B' final, and a party. The 'B' final once again saw us placed third although glad we had had the opportunity to participate in the Head of the River. All our efforts culminated in the weekend. I'm happy to report that we are no longer the poor man's version of the Dirty Dozen, but nine very fit athletes moulded into a great team. This was all due to the inspiring efforts of Mr Simon Tol. We are all deeply appreciative of the immense time he has devoted to making us better people. We thank him and wish him well in the future. TRAVIS NILSON - Stroke

Boys'5th VIII The 1993/94 rowing season was an enjoyable one for the 5th VIII. In the earlier parts of the season the crew was not prepared to put in a 100% effort. However, under our new coach, Mr Adam Palmer Morgan, and an increase in the work load, we developed a sense of purpose. We did not enter the Head of the Yarra, instead undertaking some extra training. This paid off in subsequent regattas. With consistent results in the next few races, the crew was prepared for the 1994 Head of the River. On the Friday we saw ourselves line up in the heat next to Carey Grammar, Melbourne Grammar and Xavier College. As we progressed past the 1000 metre mark we saw ourselves move into third place. This was also the way we finished. It put us into the repechage which we won. Saturday morning came with the crew having to put in a very hard row so as to have a spot in the "A" final. However, the opposition was just too strong and we came fourth, moving us into the "B" final. In this event, our hearts were just not in it and we came third in front of Melbourne Grammar. Overall, the season was very successful thanks to the special efforts of Mr Adam Palmer Morgan, our coach for the season. The crew was: Rhys Hunt (Bow), Timothy Naylor (2), Andrew Burns (3), Damian Weddell (4), Bruno Siketa (5), Dougall Couchman (6), Simon Steel (7), Tom Lawler (Str), Stuart Lethbridge (Cox).

TENNIS GIRLS' 1ST VIII The 1993/94 Girls' A.P.S. tennis season began with a difference. For the first time we had a coach, Mr Andrew Cameron. No longer was tennis merely a sociable event, no longer did we play "just for the fun of it"; indeed not, we were there to win and win alone. Although we didn't end up winning the cup, we did come a close third on the A.P.S. Premiership ladder behind Wesley College and Caulfield Grammar. Despite our losses, we had some excellent wins and had an immensely enjoyable season, one in which much was learnt and gained by each of the girls. Throughout the season, we embarked upon new experiences. Thanks must go to the Hamilton family for the team's Friday night BBQ venture. An enjoyable evening despite treacherous weather conditions hindering plans! The team also travelled to Melbourne to compete in the Independent Schoolgirls' Championships at the National Tennis Centre. College was quite successful, coming Runners-Up on the day and recording some good results. Over the course of the season, several unique attributes became evident in each of the girls. All ten girls contributed to the successes of our team under the encouragement of our most amiable coaches, Mr Young and Mr Andrew Cameron. Cartriona MacLean played all her matches in good spirit and recorded many excellent wins. Her pleasant manner echoed through the team and was an effective mechanism in frustrating the opposition! Emily Hamilton played with determination all year in her typically "Zina Garrison" style, showing no mercy for the opposition and also recording some excellent wins. Sarah Case was less successful in hiding her frilly sports knickers than she was on the court. Just ask Mr Young! "Case" possessing the ability to talk anyone into a state of confusion, had an unstable year, however she still managed to produce some excellent tennis, providing many an entertaining match. The team favourite, Sarah Hamilton, shattered any doubts about her level of consistency, winning many of her matches 6-0. Nobody was ever able to predict the score on "Hamo's" court as her leg was always suffering a severe beating of her racquet, regardless of the margin. Sophie Richardson, the dark horse of the team, played successfully all year and was awarded, along with Sarah Hamilton, a well deserved "Most Determined" award. She kept the team well entertained with the telling of her unusual tactics designed to startle the opposition. Among the quieter members of the team, Jacqui Dennis played some great matches winning a couple of close tie-breakers. Her stylish serve and determined play added to her success and contributed largely to the team's character and sense of spirit. Amanda Smith played consistently all season, not losing a singles match, earning her the "Best Player" award. Amanda could always be relied upon to win or at the very least give her absolute best every match, acting as an inspiration to us all. Bianca Hitt and Stacey Lynch played a few nerveracking matches, both contributing to the success of the team and enhancing the great team spirit felt throughout the entire squad, equally endorsed by all of the coaches.

Sarah Hamilton (left) & Emily Hamilton (below) warm up with some practice shots.

The events of the season, memories of early morning trainings, Mr Young's familiar words "move your feet", coaching sessions with Andrew Cameron and the unfailing support of team members have all made the season the enjoyable and memorable success that it was. Having completed my last tennis season at The Geelong College I would like to heartily thank, on behalf of all the girls, Miss Matthews, Ms Nelson, Madame Butt, Andrew Cameron and, in particular, Mr Young for their time, effort and dedication toward making all of our individual successes prevail, and for making our season the highlight of our sporting service at the College. Finally I would especially like to thank the ViceCaptain, Mandy Wilsher, and each member of the lsts for their support, encouragement and humour in making my last season the best one! ANDREA ROWAN - Captain

Girls' 2nd VIII We were unfortunately unable to match our unbeaten record of 1993 this year. Geelong Grammar School put together a very aggressive team and this, coupled with some partisan spectators on their home ground, led us twice to be defeated although there was very little difference in the number of games won by the two teams. Apart from these two matches, the rest of the season brought easy success upon easy success and all due to the dedication and perseverance of the members of the famous 2nds. Here they are, not in ranking order but as they come to mind as we recall their achievement during the season: Ranie Daw who never lost a set; Sarah Bryant who only lost one set in the whole season; Penny Heard who only played

107

a few matches but who was a strong element in the unbeaten Daw-Heard combination; our hard-hitting Yvette Le Grew and Bianca Hitt who occasionally lost the plot during training sessions but struggled hard to win during matches; Stacey Lynch, the nicest player on court who still has doubts about her ability; Kim Dennis, always cheerful and gallant in defeat and in victory; Catherine Gordon a reliable player with the nicest temperament; Renee Fagg, the life of the party but a determined player who seemed to enjoy long tie breaks; and Andrea Snow, a quiet player on and off court who often teamed up with Renee in doubles. Our doubles games are our strength; the shortage of practice courts during our training sessions prevented the girls from playing singles games and it was a little hit and miss when they had to play in the matches. The season was a very pleasant one for all involved. I wish the team all the best for the next season and hope they can regain their unbeaten record in 1995. MADAME A.M. BUTT

Girls' 3rd VIII

Rebecca Brown, Ranie Daw, Sally Dennis, Charne Flowers, Jeanette Harkin, Sommer Harris, Penny Heard, Justine Kelly, Sarah O'Brien and Kylie Robertson. As in previous seasons, the Girls' 3rds demonstrated beyond doubt the depth of talent in girls' tennis at The Geelong College. With a number of strong, experienced players and improving newcomers there was plenty of competition for places in the team. We appreciated our access to a greater number of courts for practice this year, sometimes even managing to play singles games apart from Saturday matches. A number of students who did not secure a regular spot in the team were able to continue to practise on a regular basis. A typical Saturday morning saw us leave Geelong at 7 a.m. bound for some remote Melbourne school - Wesley College, Waverley, seemed a particularly favoured destination. However, players often spent little time on court for in a season which saw the team defeated only

once, the greatest disappointment was probably the lack of opposition to seriously challenge players; all but two of our matches were won without dropping a set and while this was gratifying it also meant that players seldom needed to fight very hard for victory. Our one loss, to Geelong Grammar School, occurred early in the season and we were able to redeem our reputation by defeating them convincingly in the return match. All players will have their own particular recollections of the season. Some wins were especially sweet - Jeanette Harkin, our number eight singles player will probably long recall her 6-0 victory over Wesley's number one. And Charne Flower's contribution to the team will certainly not be forgotten - her palm reading helped while away many hours and possibly caused a number of players to reassess their futures. Results for the season: 5.2.94 v W.C. (Waverley) won 12 sets 84 games to 0 sets 20 games 12.2.94 v G.G.S. lost 4 sets 56 games to 8 sets 68 games 19.2.94 v W.C. (Waverley) won 12 sets 84 games to 0 sets 7 games 26.2.94 v W.C. (Prahran) won 12 sets 81 games to 0 sets 11 games 12.3.94 v G.G.S. won 10 sets 79 games to 2 sets 42 games 19.3.94 v W.C. (Waverley) won 12 sets 84 games to 0 sets 20 games This was a season in which the team achieved significant success which was truly a team effort. I would like to thank all those involved for their cooperation and good humour and congratulate them not only on their standard of play but also their sporting behaviour on and off court. MS J.M.

The intermediate girls' tennis team enjoyed a season of mixed success. Our team suffered from inconsistency, with several good wins (over Wesley College, Waverley and Prahran, and Caulfield Grammar), two very close matches with Geelong Grammar and one annihilation at the hands of Carey. Our most consistent players were Anthea Neunhoffer, Claire Thompson and Alison Macmillan. Solid players throughout the season included Kate Carey, Amanda Coutts, Melissa Kosky, Silvia Ciach, Ariane Cances. Regular backup also came from Lisa Oldham, Karensa Menzies,

Above: Emily Hamilton, Stewart McCallum Left: Jong-Min Lee (the secret weapon) shows some of his winning style.

Robertson, Robert Salmon, and special mention must be made of Luke Considine, Vice-Captain of the 1st VIII, who gave me his unwavering support throughout the season, and also played some outstanding tennis. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our coach, Mr Don Cameron, who gave many hours of his time to coach us two nights a week and view our home games, and especially to Mr Keary, as without his endless enthusiasm and encouragement (not to mention his love of McDonalds), we would not have been able to enjoy the season as much as we all did. I would personally like to thank Mr Keary, Mr Don Cameron, and all my team mates for their support this year, and finally I would like to wish College tennis players all the best for years to come, and with players such as Cameron McCallum, Marcus Curypko, Michael Silcock and Nick Farr coming up through the ranks, the future of boys' tennis at the College looks very bright. STEWART McCALLUM - Captain

Boys' 2nd VIII

Claire Clayton and Catherine Libby. As a team, our doubles performances were superior to our singles, although it should be noted that there were some fine individual singles performance. All girls regularly attended training and played their matches in the finest possible spirit. It was a pleasure to be associated with such a terrific group of girls. MISS C.R. MATTHEWS - Coach

BOYS'1ST VIII The College boys' 1st VIII tennis side went into the 1993-94 season realising that winning against the strong Melbourne sides would be very difficult. However, with our secret weapon, Jong-Min Lee, we were quietly confident of finishing near the top of the A.P.S. ladder. Unfortunately, this was not to be the case, as we ended up a lowly ninth position, ahead of Carey and Geelong Grammar. But this was definitely not through lack of trying. The most pleasing aspect of the season was the success that the 1st VIII enjoyed in doubles. This can be largely attributed to Jong-Min Lee who did not lose a doubles match for the season. I was lucky enough at the start of the season to be selected to play with Jong and I thoroughly enjoyed this, not just the winning, but the outstanding sportsmanship he displayed throughout the season. The third pair of Ashley Salter and Joshua Considine also enjoyed a good season of doubles, with their consistent yet attacking style of tennis proving too good for many of their opponents. There were also some classy performances in singles, again by Jong-Min Lee, who was not defeated (in fact he lost just 17 games in singles for the entire season), Miles Hobson with his flamboyant style of play, and by Steven Reid who, with his rocket-like serve, won against often highlyfavoured opposition. Other consistent performers in the lsts were John

As has been the case for many years, the 2nds tennis team capped off another highly successful season, with only two losses recorded. With appearances from Brett Salajan, Benjamin Fitzgerald, Robert Salmon, Jeremy Kaaden, Alistair Smith, Nathan Byrne, Michael Dylewski, Timothy DiStefano, Angus McKaige, Paul DiStefano, Angus Hill and Romney Nelson, many great performances were achieved. Alistair Smith and Nathan Byrne recorded a no-loss doubles partnership, while Robbie and Brett fought out excellent singles matches. The rivalry between the two DiStefano brothers peaked this year, causing a strong, competitive surge which made everyone work for a spot in the team each week. This was extremely evident between Angus and Romney, who battled continuously for the eighth position in the team. However, one inspirational force was dominant over all others, and that came from our coach, Mr Whittle, whose professional advice saw us not just win, but improve as players. His excellent training techniques in serving and volleying were appreciated by all. Thanks to all who participated in the 2nds team, and we hope next year's combination of players proves to be as successful as this. NATHAN BYRNE - Captain

SPORT Boys' 3rd VIII Over the past couple of months, I had the pleasure to play with some excellent young tennis players who showed fine potential in their playing ability. We experienced some ups and downs during the season but were able to finish off with more wins than losses. From the start of the season in the summer period through to the end of March, the team ended up with five wins out of a possible eight. Some great performances were from David McGuinness, Michael Dylewski, Charles Ross and Tom Chirnside. Other players who performed with skill and agility were the DiStefano brothers, Tom Paton, Simon (Bazza) Basselot-Hall and the mercurial Gus (fish pond) Hill. Thanks must go to Mr Whittle for all the time and effort he has put into the team, and also to our manager/coach, Mr Manwaring for his efforts also. They were very much appreciated by all the boys - thank you. ROMNEY NELSON - Captain

Boys' 10A

After a slow start to the season, our middle order players lifted their games and we started to win some excellent victories. Unfortunately, we just lacked the depth of numbers to pull off a few more wins, but all players improved over the season, especially in their combination play in the doubles. We defeated Carey Grammar, Geelong Grammar and Brighton Grammar, losing narrowly to St Kevin's and Melbourne Grammar and being outclassed by Haileybury, Wesley and a powerful Scotch side. Cameron McCallum and Marcus Curypko were a fine 1st doubles pair and held the top of the singles together. Aggressive net play became their trademark. Andrew Robertson and Wesley Cordingley improved tremendously after a difficult day at Haileybury and finished the season with some stylish and crushing doubles wins. Wes fought particularly hard to overcome some difficult opponents in the singles. Michael Henderson was very steady throughout. Stephen Roberts served well and finished the season on a high at Brighton. Thomas Anderson improved his service,

forehand power and consistency. John White, Darren Charleston, Timothy Lamb, Ashley Wong and Stuart Spiteri also represented this team at various stages and acquitted themselves well. Fortunately, College was represented by a most sporting and genial team in this year's competition, sometimes in the face of some less savoury behaviour from our opponents. MR J.T. DERMOTT - Coach

Boys' 9A The team was: Christopher Brown, Nicholas Farr, Joel Fuller, Benjamin Jarman, Hamish MacLean, Michael Parker, Stuart Reeve, Michael Silcock, Rodney Morris The 9As weathered a season of mixed fortunes, winning two of the six matches on the fixture. The team had wins over Carey, 7 sets to 5, and St Kevin's, 7 sets to 5, and lost to Scotch, 11 sets to 1, Haileybury, 4 sets to 8, Carey, 2 sets to 10, and Brighton Grammar, 4 sets to 8. The team had three strong doubles combinations in Michael Silcock/Andrew Reeve, Nicholas Farr/Benjamin Jarman and Michael Parker/ Hamish MacLean, the latter two pairs winning four of their six encounters. Nicholas Farr and Michael Silcock also fared best in the singles, winning four and three sets respectively. Christopher, Hamish, Stuart, Benjamin and Joel also made significant contributions from time to time in the singles sets. Overall we had some strong individual performances emerging in each match, but rarely 'gelled' as a team. Nick Farr was the "man of the season"; he put in some very gutsy performances, won a significant proportion of both his singles and doubles sets and never acknowledged defeat until the final point was played. MR G.J. SMITH - Coach

Boys' 9B

Relatively few boys opted for tennis this term, and as a result we found we were scrambling each week just to field a full team. The regulars were Derek Fong, Michael Ellis, Ron Frim, Marcus Casey, Benjamin Abbott, and Samuel Schmidt; we thank all the other boys who played for the team on at least one occasion; Regan Leslie, Bhavan Selvalingam, Peter Howie, Hamish MacLean, Joel Fuller, Edwin Cheung, Rodney Morris, and Shayne Neal. Our opening match, a 12 sets to 0 (72 games to 11!) loss to Scotch College, hinted that it might not be a winning season. However, this did not dampen any spirits, and all matches were played with determination and to the best of our ability. The next two matches saw improved play which resulted in two losses 1st TENNIS - BOYS by 9 sets to 3 to Haileybury Back Row: Ashley Salter, Jong-Min Lee, Robert Salmon, Miles Hobson, Joshua Considine, John Robertson, Benjamin Fitzgerald and Melbourne Grammar. We Front Row: Brett Salajan, Stewart McCallum (Captain), Mr D. Cameron(Coach), MrM.B. Keary (Coach) came very close to winning Luke Considine (Vice-Captain), Steven Reid

our final match against Wesley, the sets were tied at 6 all, but when the games were added up, the total was 41 to 40 in Wesley's favour! Some of the highlights: Derek Fong putting up a real battle before losing 6-4 at Scotch; Michael Ellis playing a very determined marathon set, which he eventually lost 6-4, at Wesley; Sam Schmidt coming back from well down to force a tie-breaker against Haileybury, which he also lost, 7-5; Ben Abbott and Ron Frim winning their doubles set 6-4 against Wesley - one of only two doubles sets we won all season; and Marcus Casey giving up a surfing competition to play against Melbourne Grammar - and playing well though he finished down 6-3. Congratulations to all the players, who showed that it is certainly possible to have fun despite the scores! MR J.B. GEALE - Coach

SURFING The 1994 Geelong College surfing team competed in April this year in the Victorian Inter-schools Championships. The event, held on two to three feet waves at Torquay Point, was coached by Mr Curnow and Miss Utting who successfully led the team to a creditable third. Team members included Christopher Macafee, Doji Singer, Scott McDonald, Marcus Casey, Marlon Law, Emily Casey, John White and Double Whammy surfer, Troy Brooks. Emily Barr was the official team photographer. The College surfing team continues to strengthen every year, with numerous renowned competitive surfers. EMILY CASEY and TROY BROOKS - Year 10

SWIMMING A.P.S. GIRLS Term I of 1994 confronted the College swimming team with Tuesday night training sessions at the College Preparatory School Pool, Thursday night training sessions at the Kardinia pool and the usual Friday night swimming meets. This year they were held at Wesley, Prahran, Xavier College and Geelong Grammar, against the A.P.S. girls' schools: Wesley College, Caulfield Grammar, Carey Grammar and Geelong Grammar. For the following eight weeks the swimming team's hard work and dedication allowed the girls time to prepare for the final A.P.S. Swimming Carnival which was to be held at the State Swimming Centre in Melbourne on 22 March. The final team chosen for the A.P.S. carnival consisted of the following 32 girls: Penne Young, Jahnna Galbally, Susanne Barrett, Bianca Clark, Clare Ashby, Tamara Dominikovich, Emily Casey, Kirsty McMillan, Georgia Boston, Michelle Collins, Rebecca Kempster, Rebecca O'Loughlin, Carly Deeath, Sally Parsons, Danielle Beckworth, Katie Robertson, Sarah Goldsworthy, Sarah Birks, Annabel Magarey, Belinda McMillan, Hollie Green, Emma Thomas, Sophie Farrow, Alison Macmillan, Alana Brooks, Katharine Gladman, Juliette Jenner, Lucy Cummins, Vanessa Hall, Renee King, Katherine Shaw,

Philippa Collins. On the night of the A.P.S. carnival the atmosphere was electric. All the schools were fired up and the competition was fierce. Facing extremely tough competition, College pulled through to record an equal 4th with Geelong Grammar, scoring 275 points. Carey Grammar recorded 3rd place with 295 points, Caulfield Grammar in 2nd place scored 354 points while Wesley once again took overall 1st place by 41 points scoring 395 points. Congratulations must go to Rebecca Kempster who won two of her four individual races and in the remaining two races was placed 2nd and 3rd. Carly Deeath should also be congratulated on her fine performance which placed her 1st in her individual race. The following girls should also be acknowledged for their consistency throughout the season as well as their fine performances on the A.P.S. swimming carnival night: Michelle Collins, Danielle Beckworth, Penne Young, Clare Ashby, Susie Barrett, Bianca Clark, Belinda McMillan and Rebecca O'Loughlin. Overall the 1994 swimming season was a successful one for all. Every member of the swimming team swam outstandingly and to the best of their ability. Finally special thanks must go to the swimming coaches Miss Cheatley, Miss Utting, Mrs Mitchell, Mrs Walker and Mrs Tol and to Adam Beckworth whose words of wisdom and training programs worked wonders. Thanks for a great season and good luck for next year! Penne Young at JAHNNA GALBALLY

Inter House & Championship Swimming Carnival 1994 The Swimming Sports were held at the Memorial Pool Kardinia Park in perfect conditions on the morning of Wednesday 9 February. Due to pressure on available booking dates, the sports were held a week earlier than usual, and this certainly strained the organisation of most Houses, as the teams had to be finalised in just one week. In the end, however, all Houses were well represented and very close racing was witnessed throughout the morning.

SOFTBALL The 1993-94 softball season saw three teams entered in the A.P.S. competition. The 1st Senior team was coached by Mr Harris, the Open 'B' team coached by Mr Andrews and the Intermediate 'A' team coached by Mrs Tol. The 1st team was moderately successful during the season, and recorded convincing wins over Carey and Geelong Grammar. The team consisted of a cross-section of the Year groups, from Year 9 to Year 12, and the valuable experience gained by the younger members of the team will certainly add to the success of future teams. In particular, the pitcher-catcher combination of Year 9 players, Fiona Smith and Claire Smurthwaite, was most effective until Claire managed to break her wrist during the summer vacation; her place as catcher was taken by Tanya Bath who performed very well in this position. In addition, Suzanne Cronin was a reliable player at left field, and other outfield positions were shared by Rachel Wynn, Catriona Carswell, Laura Bridges, Abbie Huxley and Emily Chappie. Dana Radovanovic and Emily "Slugger" Gerrard shared short stop and second base positions, and ViceCaptain, Prue Johnstone, held down first base. Our batting was held together by Emily Gerrard and third-base player, Jane Henderson, although we still struggled to cope with the fast pitching characteristic of the strong Caulfield and Wesley teams, and we need to improve in this aspect of our game in particular. I would like to wish next year's 1st team well and would like to extend my thanks to Mr Harris for his work as coach and to Prue for her assistance as ViceCaptain. The Intermediate 'A' team found success difficult to achieve, but made significant improvements in their skills and general understanding of the tactics of the game as the year progressed. The Open 'B' team also developed as the season unfolded, and by the end, some of the players actually began to understand the signals given by Mr Andrews. One of the factors that has led to an improvement in the skill level has been the Girls' House Softball competition, which, once again, was played in a very competitive fashion by all participants and was well supported by spectators. Congratulations must be extended to McArthur House who were undefeated throughout the competition.

ATHLETICS GIRLS Athletics season 1994 gave the Girls' squad memories of triumph and disappointment, from the success gained at the Victorian Relay Championships to the fourth placing at this year's A.P.S. Sports. The Season was not only one of fine performances on both track and field, but was also a year in which the profile of athletics at the College began to rise. The athletics camp held on the Murray River at Barooga over the Term 3 holidays proved to not only provide the squad with time to become a "closer knit" group, but also sustained the level of our fitness over the break, which in past years has been a problem. This, in addition to increased use of Landy Field for training and the Victorian Relay Championships Meet added to our calendar, improved our preparation for the A.P.S. finals. This year, an Athletics Dinner was also founded, giving athletics the same recognition as other sports at the end of their seasons. Some fine performances from individual athletes were not only achieved over the season, but nearly all were again improved on the big day, the A.P.S. Finals. October 22 brought superb conditions, along with some superb results. Our top sprinter, Katherine Davis, gained second placings and School Records in the Open 100 and 200 metres, with times of 12.69 and 26.6 seconds respectively, ending a fine season. Lucy Thomson's fantastic 200 metres to beat the U17 School Record in a time of 26.72 seconds also became a highlight of the day, while Jane Bradshaw ran a very creditable second behind Tamsyn Lewis, a Commonwealth Games athlete, in her U17 400 metres. Some of the junior sprinters also performed admirably, with Katie Kwok and Kate Lansell running well. In middle distance, Danielle Beckworth's inspirational 800 metres in 2.19.93 broke the U17 School Record while Jane Henderson came second in her Open 800 metres, completing a most successful career in College athletics. U14 and U15 800 metre races were also won by College Prep, school athletes Lucy Cummins and Megan Bell, while Kate Urquart, Claire Paterson, Athena Lucas and Sarah Hamilton all performed admirably, not only in the finals but throughout the season. A keen group of younger athletes showed the benefits of Mr Ryan's athletics program at the Prep. School and they should provide a strong base for the next few years. Lucy Mills, Sally Steele, Pip Collins, Lori Dawson, Rosie Bell and Georgia Bell all performed well with the highlight being Janey Gwyther's A.P.S. Record in the U13 Hurdles. Danni Beckworth went on to win the U17 800M in School Record time.

In the field events, Melinda Tyack jumped superbly to gain Records in Open Triple Jump, with a jump of 10.83 metres, and U16 Long Jump, with a jump of 4.90 metres, and Renee Wright's first placing and Emma Sears' second placing proved our strength in the jumps. High Jumpers Paula Stevenson, Clare Ashby, Michelle Collins and Sarah Ellis also jumped well throughout the season. Rhiannon Bourke again dominated the Shot Put and won her event for the sixth year in a row, and while her presence in the squad next year will be greatly missed, new talent in the Putting ranks in Alison Gusbeth and Melanie Oliveiro emerged this season. The Senior Girls' relay teams this year performed well with the U17 4 x 100 metres relay, comprising of Shannyn Leach, Renee Wright, Jane Bradshaw and Lucy Thomson breaking the School Record, while the Open 4 x 100 metre relay team, including Lucy Thomson, Jane Henderson, Jane Bradshaw, Katherine Davis and Prue Johnstone, managed to again smash the School Record, and the previous A.P.S. Record, and in the process came a creditable second behind a freakish Geelong Grammar team. The Open 4 x 400 metre relay gained extra reward when we won the U19 Victorian Relay Championships at Olympic Park on a perfect Wednesday night. Mr Parkes couldn't believe his eyes, for the first time, we not only had a successful team of 400 metre runners, but also had an extra, with Jane Bradshaw and Jane Henderson swapping for the A.P.S. finals. The Relay Championships also brought much success to some of the Prep. School teams. Overall, at the end of the A.P.S. finals morning, we did not have the placings to achieve the goal we had set for ourselves; there were many second or third places that, in terms of time, should have been a first placing but in the end, we did our best. Congratulations to the boys for their outstanding seventh placing in the afternoon. I would like to finish by thanking my fellow senior athletes, especially Jane Henderson and Rhiannon Bourke, for their support and fine example to other athletes throughout their years at College, and all the coaches involved in the fine athletics program this school runs: Mrs Fulton, Mr Curnow, Mr Gusbeth, Mr Cain Sarah, Mr Harris, Mr Clifford, Mr Considine, Mr Ryan, Mr Roberts, Mr Cheatley, Mr Cronk and lastly Miss Utting and Mr Parkes for the time and effort they put into helping all athletes achieve their goals. Good luck to the College athletes of the future. PRUDENCE JOHNSTONE - Girls' Athletics Captain After missing the 1993 season because of injury, Prue Johnstone made a good comeback to finish second in the Open 400M. She was also a member of two Record breaking relay teams, and was a positive and active Girls' Captain. MR T.P. PARKES - M.I.C. Athletics BOYS After a total of fourteen weeks, a trip to Barooga and six meetings leading up to the A.P.S. finals, that one day in October eventually arrived. At the Team B.B.Q. held on the Thursday night, it was decided that no matter what Division final you were in, everyone had to perform well to ensure a creditable placing was recorded at the end of the day. As there were only seven Division 1 finals reached on

Clockwise from top left: Victorian Schools' Relays U19 4x400M winners Jane Bradshaw, Lucy Thomson, Katherine Davis & Prue Johnstone David Clarke takes off in the U15 Triple Jump, in which he set an APS Record. Lucy Thomson passes the baton to Jane Henderson in the Open 4x400M relay. The team broke the School Record in finishing 2nd. Vice-Captain, Rhiannon Bourke, wins the Open Shot Put. She has won the Shot Put in each Age group from U13 to Open.

the Wednesday, it was up to all those runners in Division 2 finals and those competing in field events to finish in the top three or four. David Clarke was the first athlete for College to record a 1st placing in his Long Jump event, breaking the College school record by 18cm, then his effort in the Triple Jump also saw him shatter both the school and A.P.S. records. His runs in both the 100 and 200m events were overshadowed by his field achievements but they were equally as good, as he also broke school records in these events. James Dowling in the U/16 High Jump dominated proceedings for most of the event, only to be beaten by 5cm by a Wesley College competitor who jumped 1.85m. James jumped extremely well throughout the season and the result in the final was a fantastic way to finish the year. Tyson Leach's effort of 2nd position in the U/15 High Jump was good enough to break the thirteen year old College record of 1.76m by 2cm but Tyson also missed out on 1st position by 5cm on the day. Michael Henderson's consistent efforts in the middle distance events throughout the year were once again highlighted with a determined 800m race that saw him cross the line in 2nd position, after being cut off with 150m to go. Michael was also recognised within the squad gaining the award for Best Middle Distance Runner. Travis Nilson and Michael Ellis were two of our most determined athletes on the day in their 800 and 1500m events. Although they were in the Division 2 finals for the 800, they both produced excellent results which typified the team's effort.

Todd George had some extremely hard competition in the Shot Put, and his placing of 3rd with a distance of 14.02m was enough to break the school record of 13.56m set in 1985. Ben Broad, after his success on the football field during the course of the year, continued his excellent service for the College and finished in the top five in the U / 1 7 Shot Put. Bowen Lockwood was a valuable acquisition to the team this year, finishing 6th in the U/17 High Jump and 5th in the U/17 Triple Jump. Brent Hay don's results over the final few weeks had been slowly improving after struggling with an achilles tendon problem that restricted his performances in the sprints. Brent did not let the College down and held the banner high in his 100 and 200m events, finishing in 4th position in both races. The loss of Vice-Captain and Open Sprinter, Steve Reid, put extra responsibility on Brent and he responded in his relaxed but determined manner. Guyon Collins throughout the athletics season failed to gain a mention in my reports at assembly, but his effort in the Open Hurdles, where he finished 3rd, is one result that deserves congratulation considering the extremely tough competition in that event. His approach towards Hurdles this year was terrific and he should do extremely well next season considering that he has another year in Open. One of the last events on Saturday was the U/15 4 x 100m relay consisting of Aymon Muhor, Pat Milesi, Tyson Leach and David Clarke. Their time of 46.86 (3rd) was fast enough to break the 1990 College record, just under a second faster than the previous best time set at this school.

Although we were 11th midway through the afternoon the final result surprised many. Our effort of 234 points gave us 7th position, and this was ahead of Wesley College, Carey Grammar, St. Kevin's College and Geelong Grammar. This result was due to many hard weeks of training both in and out of school and the determination shown by every College competitor. As well as those athletes already mentioned, significant improvement over the season was shown by Barnes Fallaw, Matt Taylor, Will Gordon, Lucas Wilson, Tim Nay lor, Nathan Templeton and Nick Earle. These athletes should form the basis for a strong 1995 squad. All the coaches must be congratulated on their efforts throughout the season and they included Mr Parkes, Mr Montgomery, Mr Considine, Mr Harris, Mr Clifford, Mrs Fulton, Mr Curnow, Mr Gusbeth, Mr Sarah, Miss Utting,

Mr Cronk, Mr Ryan, Mr Roberts and Mr Cheatley and the other staff members who have assisted throughout the season. I would like to thank each and everyone of them for their commitment towards athletics and the support they have given me during the year. ROMNEY NELSON - Boys' Athletics Captain Romney Nelson provided great leadership for the team by his attitude to training, enthusiasm and personal example. He represented the College in the 200m, 400m, Shot Put and 4 x 100m Relay at the A.P.S. Sports completing a fine contribution to Athletics over the past five years. MR. T.P. PARKES - M.I.C.

FENCING The 1994 fencing season has been highly successful for College fencers. At the start of the season, fencing in the Victorian Schools' Championships, College fenced well below capacity. Although we won the tournament, we only scraped through the final against Geelong Grammar, winning 5 bouts to 4. We realised that there was much work to be done in the remaining time before the National Championships. Cameron Duff entered the fencing squad late in 1993, and he competed hard with Darren Stendt for a coveted place on the side that was to enter the Nationals. Cameron picked up a great repertoire very quickly, and showed that he was a strong possibility for the team. Finally, after several months of intense training, two positions on the team had been decided - David Spear and I would make up the first two, and Cameron and Darren fenced off to decide the third position. This was done by fencing a "best of three" bouts to five hits, and Darren won by a solitary touch. Therefore, Darren occupied the third position on the team, with Cameron as reserve. The Schools' National Championships, held on 24 September, is a tournament for the top schools of the country,, and after twelve hours of fencing against ten teams, The Geelong College emerged the victors. The final was fenced between ourselves and Newington College, from New South Wales. College won six bouts to three, many of these bouts being won by narrow margins. Darren Stendt was most certainly "Man of the Match". He fenced his solid, defensive style brilliantly, defeating many opponents with high National rankings with his lightning-fast hand. In the final, he defeated the captain of Newington College, who is currently ranked fourth in the Cadet National Rankings. Darren finished seventh overall in the Individual Tournament. His commitment and will to win have been exemplary throughout the season, and he has been a deciding factor in the team. David Spear mixed both attack and defence effectively, winning many hard-fought bouts, and pulling out victories when the team needed them most. His height and resulting long reach have helped him immensely throughout the season, and he used these to effect during the Nationals. David finished eleventh in the Individual. Cameron fenced in the 2nds team, while acting as a reserve for the lsts. Also in this team were Osman Mewett and Andrew Newlands. The three combined well to finish a creditable eighth. Finally, mention must be made of the greatest contributor to our team. Mr Neil Hick, our coach, won the Nationals for us as much as any fencer did on the day. An Australian representative on numerous occasions, Neil has worked tirelessly with the team through the long months prior to the Nationals. He has undertaken a coaching course to better his already high standard of coaching, and soon will become a Master of Arms, enabling him to coach overseas. Neil's commitment to the team has been such that he is a perfect role model for any coach of any team. He started the year with a motley crew of undisciplined fencers, and through his hard work, entered the Nationals with a team of tough competitors. On behalf of all the

fencers at the College, I would like to thank him for his dedication and work throughout the season. In terms of the future, College's results are hard to predict. Although the top four fencers of school are leaving, this is the case in many other of the strong fencing schools around the nation, and I would not be at all surprised if Neil can work his magic once again and win the coveted National Title in 1995. All in all, 1994 has fulfilled all the goals of the College fencers. In summary I can think of no better quote than Reebok's motto: "All men are created equal. Some just train harder in the pre-season." CLAUDE MOCELLIN - Captain

BASKETBALL A.P.S. GIRLS The 1994 season marks the beginning of a new College initiated competition hosted in the Rolland Centre on Tuesday nights. Our basketball co-ordinator Mr. Dale Carroll masterminded the scheme, and invited schools from all over Geelong to involve a team and Sacred Heart College, Morongo College, Geelong Grammar School, Clonard College, and Flinders Girls' College all participated. Its success seems promising for future seasons. The A.P.S. team, following last year's successful season in which we finished second, was determined that this year we would triumph over our purple nemesis, Wesley. Having only lost two players from last year the team remained basically the same. Throughout the year Sarah Case and Georgia Boston were consistently our best players stunning us with their spectacular shooting and cunning defence. Not to be overshadowed, Bronwyn Galbraith, Anna Parker, Nicole Hambling and Vickie Mol maintained an impenetrable defense over the season. Tanya Bath was also a versatile player contributing in both offence and defense. At the conclusion of the season the A.P.S. team had dropped only one game to a dramatically improved Grammar team, thus making us this year's championship side. A feat which will long be remembered. While the on-court performance has been particularly impressive, it's the hard work and friendship which have made the team and the season truly memorable.

Finally, on behalf of the team, I thank Miss Wilson for all the time, effort and patience she has given to the side throughout the season. Thanks must also go to Georgia Boston for her outstanding leadership as Vice-Captain. Not to be forgotten is the support that all students have received from families which is greatly appreciated. I wish the future girls basketballers the best of luck and continued success. CHARNE FLOWERS - Captain

VICTORIAN SCHOOLGIRLS' COMPETITION On Friday 7 October, the girls APS Basketball team travelled to Albert Park Stadium to compete in the 1994 Victorian Schoolgirls' Qualification Series. We were entering an unknown sphere, not knowing what standard to expect. The girls competed keenly in what proved to be a series of high standard games. They were narrowly defeated in their first game against a strong St Leonard's College team. They fought hard and only lost the match when they panicked under pressure in the final minutes. Fiona Macleod, Vickie Mol and Bronwyn Galbraith worked well in rebounding during the match. The second game was against a smaller team from St John's College. The girls played well and won convincingly. The final match was against a very tall and highly skilled Bendigo Secondary College team who went on to win the series and deservedly so. The College girls played hard but were ground down by their opposition's effective team play and accurate shooting. Some magnificent fast breaks and three point shots in all the games from Georgia Boston and Sarah Case enabled us to remain competitive. Congratulations must go to all the players: Charne Flowers, Georgia Boston, Sarah Case, Bronwyn Galbraith, Tanya Bath, Nicole Hambling, Anna Parker, Vickie Mol, Fiona Macleod, Melanie Oliveiro and Alison Gusbeth for giving their best and proving that the College team is a

very strong side to reckon with. MISS S.M. WILSON - Coach

GIRLS' SCHOOLS COMPETITION With this being the inaugural season for this competition we entered into an unknown area. After a couple of early training sessions we were divided into two roughly equal squads ready to tackle all comers. The teams consisted of: Team 1 - Claire Clayton, Alison Gusbeth, Wai Yee (Katie) Kwok, Caroline Nordang, Virginia Clark, Sally Curwood, Anthea Neunhoffer, Emily Kaye, Melanie Oliveiro, Vickie Mol. Team 2 - Rebecca Kempster, Jayne McEwan, Nicole Ronald, Claire Smurthwaite, Elizabeth Wright, Sally Lucas, Katie Weber, Jessica Barr, Romy Whitehead. All girls worked hard and with good referees telling us our mistakes, made steady improvement. Team 1 finished up with a physically stronger team than Team 2, which saw them finish higher on the ladder with a fast finishing third place, while Team 2 finished in sixth position in the ten team competition. The competition proved to be a fairly even one and with continued improvement from the girls this competition should provide a good grounding for players in future years. MR D.A. CARROLL. Basketball Co-ordinator

GIRLS UI8 For The Geelong College Girls' Basketball team that played at Life Be In It, this season provided a learning experience for many players. By the end of the season the team consisted of Belinda Haebich, Nicole Care, Melanie White, Mandy Wilsher, Susanne Barrett, Fleur Weber, Fiona Macleod and Rebecca O'Loughlin. The season began with a confidence booster against another rookie team, which we beat again in the third round. As six of our eight players were new to basketball

this meant that our games were rather disorganised, unskilful and funny, consequently we did not win another game until the ninth round. The team did improve significantly though, as we won four out of our last five games. Our team was coached by Tim Macleod and Andrew Pooley and our motivator was Nathan Byrne. The season was quite successful for our team, and we look forward to greater success next year. FIONA MACLEOD - Captain

This year I have been more than proud to captain the U18A Boys Basketball team, under the careful guidance of our new coach, Mr Fletcher Pearson. The year began with a flurry of victories against poorly equipped teams at the Life Be In It centre on Friday nights. However, two teams proved our match throughout the season, and the matches that took place were contested vigorously. The team consisted of Benn Smythe, Matthew Barkley and Joshua Gurrie as ball handlers, Mark Yee (Vice-Captain) as a versatile player, myself, Alex Player and Andrew Pooley under the boards. For most of us it was the first time playing together, and in a new competition, so we were anxious to prove ourselves. Thankfully, under Fletcher Pearson's capable guidance we were able to do so and give ourselves a shot in the finals. However we were unable to capitalise on our opportunities sufficiently to win our finals game. Thus, we finished the season a creditable third. I must thank everyone on the team this year and commend them for their efforts. Inroads have been established and with this being a mostly Year 11 team the chances of future success are high. It has been an enjoyable year for everyone and I wish the future College Basketball teams the very best of luck. ROSS QUAIL - Captain

BOYS U18B The U18B team had an extremely successful season. The team only lost one game during the season and this success placed us well and truly on top of the ladder. Our performance in the finals however did not reflect our efforts during the season as we were knocked out in our semi-final. The season held many highlights which will be remembered. The scoring was led by the determined David Dean, while rebounding was dominated by Lucas Wilson, Timothy Noonan and Matthew Ross. The contributions from Adil Basuki, Russell Dmytrenko and Barnes Fallaw were all exemplary. The competition was hard and all players played well and enjoyed the experience. The team was disappointed not to finish the season as well as we had hoped but a lot of fun was had by all. Thanks must go to our coach, Mr Carroll, and all the supporters during the year, especially those who worked at the scorebench for us. I would also like to wish all College Basketball teams success in the future. BEN SPINKS - Captain

BOYS U16A The Geelong College U16A team played out their 1994 winter season basketball competition at the Life Be In It Centre each Friday night. The season commenced with three grading matches which resulted in three consecutive wins for us. This immediately put us in the A division. Confidence was high after these three wins, but as the season passed winning games was not as easy. This was mainly due to more accurate and bigger opposition teams. We were a relatively "new" team with only a few players having actually played together and knowing each other's strengths and capabilities. However, as more games were played, the team slowly became stronger and improved in more ways than one. This was evident towards the end of the season, when the games became closer, more competitive, and more exciting.

The late inclusion of Andrew Barkley filled in the spot of a much needed point guard and ball handler. His valuable contribution of three points and assists often kept us in the game. Together with Andrew Barkley were Hong Giang, Callan Tenabel, Jonathon Lo, Michael Bodey, and myself, who all contributed greatly to the defensive and offensive sides of the game. Hong's driving and assists, Callan's rebounding and scoring, Jonathon's steals and fast-breaks, as well as my own contribution, were all the ingredients that can build a "potentially successful" team. The much improved duo of Stuart Spiteri and Warren Ng also contributed greatly with their rebounding capabilities, playing with great spirit and determination. The cameo appearances by Ben Mitchell, Rhys Robinson and Alesh Macak were of great help in the games that they played. The fiery inspiration, determination, and attitude of our coach, Mr Taylor, was a major factor in the way we played, and was an important motivation for the team. Thanks to Mr Taylor, all team members, and everybody who supported us throughout the season. KING JIN SEAH - Captain

BOYS U16B The team consisted of thirteen players keen to play basketball, but with little competitive experience, so it was not surprising that early in the season the team was soundly beaten. Aiming to improve individual ball skills and team strategies, extra training sessions were held on Sunday afternoons. By the end of the competition the team was regularly scoring in excess of thirty points and restricting the opposition with good defensive play. Few teams had players who were able to out-jump Clinton Mitchell, Warwick McCallum or Michael Silcock. The ball handling skills of Mark Hambling, Joel Fuller and Nicholas Doran enabled plays to be set up from which points were scored. Most boys improved their shooting ability especially Ryan Sharkey and Michael Parker. Ron Frim and Derek Fong improved both their defensive and offensive skills. Adrian Desa, although spending some weeks away, was willing to attempt any task asked of him. Although we managed only a few victories on the scoreboard, individual improvement of all players was very pleasing. The school and the parents of these boys can be proud of the way in which they conducted themselves both on and off the court. I would like to thank them for their efforts throughout the season and to wish them the best of luck in their future endeavours, both sporting and academic. MR D. HAMBLING - Coach

2ND XVIII The 1994 A.P.S. football season proved to be a very successful one for the 2nds, who finished with a record of six wins and three losses, and were winners of the Profitt Cup. Our three losses came at the hands of Xavier, St. Kevin's and Melbourne Grammar, all very respected footballing schools. Generally though, the boys played good consistent football throughout the season, culminating in a closely fought victory over Carey Grammar in our final game for the season. Highlights for the year were Ben Fitzgerald's four goal third quarter blitz to secure a win against Caulfield, George Leishman's "hang", and so the list could go on. Better players: Jayson Ward, Christopher Macafee, William Gordon, Thomas Chirnside, not to mention players like James Ryan, Darren Fletcher and Lachlan Aitken were quickly promoted to the lsts. The strength of the 2nds this year illustrated the tremendous depth of College football, despite being one of the smallest schools in the A.P.S., and it is to be hoped that this depth and success can continue for years to come. For a very enjoyable season, thanks must go to all the "fellas" who donned a 2nd's guernsey, to Alex Doran (Vice-Captain), and especially to our coach, Mr Gilby, who brought an exciting new element to College football this year. STEWART McCALLUM - Captain

3RD XVIII The 3rd XVIII had a moderately successful season, winning six games out of a possible ten. We played some excellent football at the beginning of the season, but as the season wore on we lost some of our momentum as injuries and promotion of some of our better players took their toll. Highlights of the season included the thrashing of Geelong Grammar and Caulfield Grammar, and our victories over three different Xavier teams (Xavier 5ths, 4ths and Boarders). Highlights were also provided by intelligent leads and deadly accurate kicking for goal by Simon Basselot-Hall, strong marking in the backline from Sam Lucas, and determined play across the centreline from Adam George, David Dean and John Robertson. Other fine players for the 3rds were: Stephen Bennett (The Flash) Bennet Coad, Jack Chisholm, Sam Swinton, Dylan Ferrier, Michael Varley, Nat Ramm, Stuart Anderson, Ben Barr, Hugh O'Donnell, James Frost, Jono

10A The following all played for the lOAs at some stage of the season: Roderick Crawford, Alistair McArthur, Cameron O'Brien, Todd George, Giles Craig, Jamie Mackay, Joshua Considine, Timothy Ayerbe, Archibald Paton, Jeremy Miller, Matthew Gudykunst, Julian Percy, Thomas Christensen, James Paton, Robert Wettenhall, Travis Nilson, George Taylor, Kent Begely, Bradley Duff, Marcus Sutton, Nicholas Burnett, Bowen Lockwood, Warren Keeble, Cameron McCallum, Peter Betts, Simon Steel. The lOAs, in a bid to improve on last year's win/loss record, were only successful in defeating Geelong Grammar twice in the ten matches played during the season.

The week-in, week-out defeats damaged what little confidence the team had in itself, and only the narrow loss to Brighton midway through the season restored any pride. On the whole, it was not through lack of trying, but more a lack of know-how, that we were unable to win more games. As a result, the footy season was not enjoyed as much as the team would have liked (Mr Clifford included). Our back-line, proved to be our strongest asset during the season, with the support it got from our midfielders, the determining factor as to how many goals the opposition kicked. The forward line, which did not at all lack ability, got a bit cold some weeks, and found themselves out of practice when the ball got down there. Improvement on fitness and skills will be needed, as players are "sorted out" next year. I wish Mr Clifford the best of luck for next year and pray he has a successful team (because we don't want his mental health to deteriorate any further). I also thank my team mates for trying hard all season, and hope they and their teams have more success next year. Also, congratulation must go to the lOBs for doing so well throughout the season. ROD CRAWFORD - Captain Players that come to mind as consistently putting in four quarter efforts through the season were, Archie Paton (Best and Fairest) at centre-half back. After recovering from injury Archie became a beacon of strength in the backline. He was assisted ably by Tim Ayerbe who was runner-up to Archie in the best for the season. The Captain, Rod Crawford, also deserves a special mention for his outstanding persistence in the face of adversity. He was required to fill many gaps. Other boys who deserve a mention in a disappointing season were Josh Considine (terrific contribution as a half-back flank), Bowen Lockwood (outstanding contribution when he played), also Todd George, Alistair McArthur and Travis Nilson played with endeavour! I would like to thank Mr Dunstone warmly for his tremendous assistance in coaching the lOBs. MR D.CLIFFORD Coach

The Geelong College 10B football team was keen to improve its performance from the 1993 season. The team started well defeating Brighton Grammar in the first game. From that game onwards the lOBs gained confidence, system and overall team play. The team was constantly supported by Thomas Billings at Centre Half Forward and the strong Back Line consisting of such players as Nicholas Burnett, Daniel Weddell, Nicholas Wotherspoon and Scott McDonald, with the focal point of Jamie Mackay, Marcus Curypko, Darren Charleston and Giles Graig. On Ball and Centre players who contributed well throughout the season included Peter Morgan, Lachlan Watts, Campbell Hobson and Lachlan Clarke. With great improvement being shown by all players, the lOBs went on to win nine out of the possible twelve games in a very successful and improved season. Special thanks to Mr Dunstone who guided us through many training sessions and matches. WESLEY CORDINGLEY - Captain The 10B footballers had a very successful and rewarding season. Winning an impressive nine out of twelve matches the team was unlucky not to win the prestigous "V.H. Profitt Cup". Playing a fixture comprised of many away games the lOBs teamed well to defeat opponents who generally were physically superior. Fine on-field leadership came from "Captain Courageous", Wes Cordingley, who banded together the motley group of footballers and formed them into a lethal unit. Special thanks must go to Mr Clifford for his much appreciated support and guidance throughout the season. MR M. DUNSTONE - Coach

The 1994 9B football season can only be described as one of mixed fortunes. We began badly with a loss to Haileybury, but I think that was partially due to this being our first game together as a team. Our next two games were excellent as we won them both. The second was a special win as we played on the Main Oval. With the help of Mr Parkes who was filling in for Mr Gow, we convincingly defeated Scotch College. At the same time we showed the rest of the school that the 9Bs were a team which could put it together and play good football. Unfortunately we lost our next two games, first to Melbourne Grammar and then to Xavier. We soon hit back and defeated Xavier in our next game. Unfortunately we then had to travel to Melbourne Grammar to play on a tiny oval which we had no answer for and we ended up being beaten. Our last game together saw the team bring together our football skills and team work resulting in a terrific one hundred point win. We dominated every position whilst proving to ourselves that we were a great team which could defeat any team in the competition. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr Gow for his persistence and coaching and thank Mr Parkes for his help. I also congratulate the team on a good season. RYAN SHARKEY - Captain

INTER SCHOOLS' SKI COMPETITION On Wednesday 17 October, thirty members of The Geelong College took part in the Inter Schools' Ski Championships. The College representatives achieved many very good results out of the field of over two thousand competitors. The division 2 Girls' team (consisting of Hollie Green, Natalya Morgan, Angela Nation, Sarah Case) achieved an excellent placing of 11th whilst Hollie came 2nd in the individual results. In the Boys' Mogals competition Doji Singer and Hollie Green, looking somewhat younger, came 12th with Doji 21st. The Boys' 2nd Division Mogals, comprised of Preparatory School members, came 14th with Marlon Law and Tim Clarke gaining 2nd and 4th respectively. The rest of the team raced on Friday. With one day to get the feel of the skis again all teams were hoping to at least match the Thursday results. However, this was soon realised to be a tall order as spider skin suits were emerging at an alarming rate, and the lycra covered skiers were very quick, with speeds approaching 75 km/h. The results and competitors from Friday were: Boys' Division 1 A team (Doji Singer, Simon Pettitt, Timothy Macleod) 13th overall, with Doji achieving 10th. The B team (Sam Swinton, Guyon Collins and Ben Mitchell (masquerading as Stuart Anderson) unfortunately had a fall in one race

and the team was disqualified. The Girls' Division 1 (Kirsty Law, Fiona Macleod, Rebecca O'Loughlin) came 12th overall with Kirsty Law individually placed 26th. The Boys' Division 2 A team (Monty Hamilton, Simon Steele and David Clarke) also had a competitor fall. However, David achieved 1st in the Division. The B team (Troy Brooks, William Swinton, Byron Henderson) had all three members complete the course and achieved 23rd out of the 44 teams. Congratulations must go to all competitors and thanks to all parents and teachers who helped with the team managing and the offical positions. Special thanks to Mr Hibbard and Mr Millar who managed to organise the teams. To everyone else consider the ski racing next year: it is a lot of fun. TIM MACLEOD - Captain

HOCKEY BOYS 1ST XI The start of this year's hockey season began with a practice match against Caulfield Grammar which we won. After convincing losses against Wesley on their synthetic pitch, and to Xavier and Brighton at home, the rest of the season saw no other losses of more than one goal. Against traditional rivals, Geelong Grammar, we were eager to retain our eight year record, but went down one goal to nil. Our best win came against Carey Grammar, who we blitzed six goals to nil. We also played a gallant 43 loss against Melbourne Grammar and to Haileybury, the eventual premiers, we lost two goals to one. This year's team was a talented one. As there were many new members it took a number of weeks to work out positions, but by the end of the season we recorded some pleasing results against very strong opposition. Nonetheless, if College is going to compete on an even par with other schools in the future then a move must be made to get the ball rolling on our own synthetic surface. Goalie, Ross Quail, was the lynch-pin of the back line, directing the backs into the correct position in order to have a tight defence. Throughout the season Ross made great diving saves and tackles. Full backs, John Lean and Adam Campbell, showed constant courage and endeavour and gave our forwards great drive and support. Adam is a great

exponent of the slide tackle and John of being able to run through opponents or take them out delivering the ball to the waiting forwards. Brent O'Grady, Brett Wallace and Daniel Thompson were able to use both their great defensive and attacking skills to transfer the ball from opposition control to our offence. Brent's game was characterised by his determination to chase the loose ball and constantly hassle the opposition. Brett at centre half, was able to control the people around him with his clever and skillful play and put College deep into attack with his lofted balls. Dan was one of the more consistent players of the year playing at left-half. Always focused, he rarely let his guard down, thereby minimising our opponents' attack. The wings in the team - David Stokie and Andrew Cirillo on the right, and Malcolm Davey and Michael Henderson on the left, gave great drive down the side lines and attack on goal. Apart from David's infamous tackles, he was the quickest forward with his runs down the wing proving more than a headache for the opposition.

Andrew showed great endeavour to get the ball. His knack of getting past opposition backs and smashing the ball in the direction of the goal gave other forwards numerous opportunities to score. Malcolm constantly had his head down concentrating on ball control and used his peripheral vision to create opportunities for goal shots. Michael, the youngest member of the team, was very consistent. He never seemed to waste opportunities when the ball came into his possession. At training sessions Michael always had ideas which helped the coach to perfect the routines. Playing around me at centre forward were inners Stuart Peat, David Henderson and Seaton Daw. These three players were able to link the defence with the wings and me to mount systematic attacks which sometimes resulted in a goal. Stuart was an enthusiastic player this year and the most memorable part of Stuart's season was a classic goal against Caulfield. Seaton, the smallest member of the team (in stature only) made up for his size in guts and determination. He was constantly snapping at the heels of the opposition. Similarly, Vice-Captain, David Henderson, was constantly harassing, running and encouraging his team mates. His quick thinking and good positioning contributed to the conversion of goal opportunities. Without David's contribution over the season I would have struggled as Captain and centre forward. I would also like to thank the rest of the team for their support and co-operation. Mr Miller, coach of the 1st hockey team must be commended on his efforts this year. Without an official win until mid-way through the season, and some demoralising losses, he did not give up on us. With a reasonably fit team he tended to concentrate more on the thinking game, a game of skill and system. Everyone can say that we have improved since the beginning of the season and this is due to Mr Miller's persistence. In the three years Mr Miller has coached me there has been considerable change in our training methods, and these reflect the skills and character of the team's individual players. The lsts will have more success with a talented group of Year 9s and 10s coming through.

2ND XI Andrew Carland, Trevor Cohn, Timothy Di Stefano, Russell Dmytrenko, Dale Everett, Byron Higginbotham, Benjamin Knight, Cameron Knott, Andrew Lean, David Neal, Timothy Nicholls, Chris Parker, Scott Reid, Ryan Thompson and Benjamin Wheeler. 1994 was a successful season for the 2nds. We won four, and drew two of the ten matches we played. Our four losses were hard won by our opposition, as they never won by more than one goal. This was ostensibly due to our strong back line, which turned the opposition's attack into defence with great consistency. All our match results are a credit to the skill and determination the whole team displayed throughout the season. If this continues, then next season looks to be a promising one indeed. Special mention must go to Cameron Knott as ViceCaptain and holder of the 2nd's Best and Fairest award; Byron Higginbotham as the Most Consistent player; Ben Knight as the Best Team Man and, of course, to our champion goal scorer, Scott Reid. On behalf of the entire team, I would like to thank Mr Montgomery for his coaching and support in this his first year of coaching hockey. I would also like to thank the members of the 2nds for this season, including our two "lost boys" Luke Coulson and Stewart Peat from the lsts, and wish them well in the future. BEN WHEELER - Captain

YEAR 10

Mr Paul Schram (Coach), Timothy Lamb (Captain), Thomas Anderson, Michael Brussel, Rhys Hunt, Cameron Jeremiah, Robert Lethbridge, William Lewis, Richard Mason, Timothy Naylor, Hamish Pearce, Cameron Petersen, Bruno Siketa, Matthew Spokes and Ross Watson. Throughout the 1994 hockey season, The Geelong College Year 10 boys had a successful season by only recording one loss to Haileybury. The majority of the team have been together since Prep. School with a few new additions to help form a sensational team. The inclusion of Ross Watson, who proved to be a keen player throughout the season, Tom Anderson and STEVEN REID - Captain Matt Spokes who were inspiring full backs, combined with our ever reliable goal keeper, Tim Naylor, to ensure a minimum number of goals were scored against us, made our 1994 season successful. Will Lewis, Cameron Jeremiah and Hamish Pearce were able to show their skills up forward in gaining goals which led to our many victories. Noticeable improvement was made by Richard Mason whose team spirit was evident throughout the season and 1STXI BOYS' HOCKEY TEAM Back Row: Andrew Cirillo, Brett Wallace, Malcolm Davey, Ross Quail, Stuart Peat, Michael Henderson, Robert Lethbridge provided Brent O'Grady, David Stokie ongoing assistance to the Front Row: Seaton Daw, John Lean, Steven Reid (Captain), Mr A.D.C.

forwards. I would like to thank all the team for their support and enthusiasm. Thanks must go to the coach, Mr Paul Schram, for his knowledge, guidance and smooth personality during the season and the many parents who supported from the sidelines. TIM LAMB - Captain

YEAR 9 Wins 6; Drawn 2; Lost 2 Goals for: 34; Goals against: 15 Team Members: Thomas Bridges (Captain), Stuart Reeve (Vice-Captain), Cameron McDonald, Christopher Eagles, Rhys Bailey, Julian Reichl, Benjamin Sullivan, Simon Hobbs, James Dowling, Jaron Martin, Ellis Davies, Damian DiStefano, Nicholas Murphy, Thomas David, Seamus Balkin, Samuel Schmidt. The impressive statistics don't quite tell the story of a fine finish to the season, after only one win in the first four games. All of the players improved markedly over the ten matches and showed a fine understanding of the tactics of the game. We were able to develop a short possession game that made it difficult for the opposition to mount sustained attacks upon our defence. This should hold the team in good stead for next season. Team spirit was first rate and there was no doubt that College had the best team work in the Year 9 A.P.S. competition. In this context, it is unfair to single out individuals, but our Captain and Vice-Captain played consistently outstanding hockey. Tom Bridges scored in every match, bar one, and averaged two goals per game, including an Ablettesque seven goal burst against Xavier. Stuart Reeve was one of the best mid-fielders in the competition and his passing was of high quality. Julian Reichl, James Dowling, Tom David and Ben Sullivan also stood out at times. Congratulations to the boys, they were fine sporting ambassadors for the College. MR J.T. DERMOTT - Coach

The girls' 1994 Hockey Season has been one of laughter, enjoyment and tremendous success. Over the season we have grown as a team and learnt a great deal about each other, our game and most importantly ourselves. The tour of New Zealand not only improved our skills and game plan significantly, but also increased our independence and strengths, forming a close bond between those who participated. The hockey we played at the end of the season was by far our best, with us beating the top side in the last round. Overall we finished a close fourth on the A.P.S. Premiership Ladder. Throughout the season, many individual strengths have emerged and friendships have grown. Our steady backline consisting of Sarah O'Brien, Megan Walter and Emily Gerrard all ensured a reliable defence which, especially toward the end of the season, proved a force to be reckoned with. Meg played the season in a quiet manner; however, she was always there when needed. Sarah also played as a strong member of the team, renowned for her wild bursts of aggression. Emily Gerrard, being one of the more serious members of the team, played an excellent season (that is when her knee held up) and proved to be an entertaining member, earning the nickname "Slogga" referring to her almighty hitting power. Claire Moore played brilliantly all season, proving herself as an extremely talented goalie with an enormous kick. Moving to the half line, Rachel Wynn, Nerida Grebe, Kim Dennis and Amanda Smith proved to be a reliable combination, with each of the four girls demonstrating determination and effort. Rachel's traditional crouched down style saw her defeated in few tackles. Kim and Nerida showed the ability to consistently retrieve the ball, always giving 100% effort and forever motivating the team. Amanda continued to display her outstanding team commitment acting as both a supportive and active member of the team. On the forward line, Catriona Carswell was an excellent right wing bringing flair and variation to our game. Sarah Bryant played a good season in a supportive role fulfilling her part quietly but competently. Finally, Megan Jones and Ranie Daw, the troublemakers of the team, combined together out on the left playing some excellent matches. Meg could always be relied upon to produce something magical as Ranie supported steadily, setting up some great passages of play. Thanks to Rachel Wynn for her Vice-Captaincy this year, and indeed thanks to all the girls for making my last season such a memorable one. Good luck to all players for next season. Given the outstanding success of the Intermediate As team this year, there is certainly hope for future success. Finally I would like to thank Mrs Lean for all her time and effort, especially that which went into organising our tour of New Zealand. Her work made our season a raging success and a most enjoyable venture. ANDREA ROWAN - Captain

The Captain of the team, Andrea Rowan played in the lsts for three years, consistently being a valuable member of the team. As Captain, Ang was an inspiration for us all, not only playing excellent hockey, but being a friendly and fair member of the team. With her bright personality Ang could always motivate the team and under her captaincy the team thoroughly enjoyed this season. RACHEL WYNN - Vice-Captain

2ND XI This team was led by some experienced Year 12 girls who were keen to achieve and enjoy the A.P.S. experience. They included Jeanette Harkin, Kerrie Bell, Bianca Hitt, Tammy Higginbotham, Tara Eaton, Lisa Downey and Miranda Nation. With such a senior t e a m they were able to involve themselves in some very skilled pieces of play. We also had some beginners to the sport this year who managed extremely well and certainly developed their ability. They included Catherine-Eole Pommet (goal keeper), Catherine Lucas, Catriona MacLean, Kate Naylor and a determined Georgina Koch. All of these girls appeared to develop a love of the game and are sure to be playing next year. Tanya Blyth, Zoe Harkin, Rosalie Guthrie and Kristie Pearce always played well. These girls have represented the School in previous years and may well be representing the School next year in the lsf XL The 2nds girls' hockey team managed to achieve some excellent results. They won five of their eight matches. A terrific effort.

MRS C. TOL - Coach

INTERMEDIATE A 1994 saw the beginning of the full A.P.S. competition across all age groups. This team consisted of Year 9 and 10 girls, many playing hockey for the first time. Whilst there

was a nucleus of experienced players to build with we had no idea that the girls would be as successful as they were. Two full rounds were played against the other schools and College remained undefeated, winning all games for the season. Such was their dominance that only twice did the opposition manage to score against us making it frustrating for Alex Galaska, our goalie. At the other end, the goal scoring ability of Libby McMillan, who slotted home two goals, Megan Jones and her aggressive colleagues, managed a season tally of 34. The success of the season did not come easily. Practice and skill acquisition by all saw development across the board. The highlight of the year was the last game against Caulfield who had been beaten only once for the season. With Katherine Napier, our centre half playing in the Australian Schoolgirls' team at the national titles, and Libby McMillan ill (both absent), we went into the match with a depleted team. To their credit though, the girls fought hard all match and were rewarded when Kate Urquhart scored late in the second half. Desperate defence then assured us of the A.P.S. Premiership and much excitement and emotion surfaced at the final whistle. The 1994 team was Sarah Birks, Claire Buckis, Alexandra Galaska, Hollie Green, Claire Keith, Matilda Hobba, Elizabeth McLean, Elizabeth McMillan, Prue Messenger, Eleanor Moreton, Katherine Napier, Claire Thompson, Sally Thompson, Victoria Thornton and Kate Urquhart. Captaincy rotated among the Year 10 girls as I considered leadership should be exhibited by all players. MR L.J. QUAIL - Coach

NETBALL A.R.S. NETBALL Had you been in England in 1897, 3 February to be precise, when the first recorded game of what we now know as netball took place, you would have been witness to a very different spectacle to what we are accustomed to today. For that game in England, broomsticks served as goal posts, and wet paper bags were baskets. The baskets were not open at both ends and the umpires had to use a ladder to retrieve the ball after each goal. Things have certainly changed a lot in the last ninetyseven years. Since netball totally disassociated itself from basketball and set about establishing itself on the sporting scene, it has gone from strength to strength. In Australia, netball has long been considered the "Sleeping Giant" of the sporting scene. That giant is now awakening. More and more, netball's ninety-eight separate skills are being seen on Australian television and written about in the print media. Australia has roughly 1.2 million players, with around 400,000 in Victoria. Males now make up a significant and growing proportion of those numbers. Perhaps this is something for The Geelong College boys to seriously consider in the future. The Geelong College Netball Club has just completed the most successful season imaginable. The lsts, 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, and the Intermediate B's were all undefeated in their division of A.P.S. Netball in the 1994 season. I believe this speaks volumes for the girls and their coaches and I congratulate each of them on their achievement. This year, the 1st netball team had a great deal of experience with some of us having been involved since the start of A.P.S. Netball, three years ago. During that time, Mrs O'Loughlin has witnessed only two losses, one in 1992 and another in 1993. Clearly, The Geelong College has a very strong tradition of netball. This begins with Campbell House students playing Netta, and continues right through the Preparatory School, so that there is always a large crop of new recruits ready, willing and able to vie for spots in Senior School teams at Kardinia Park and A.P.S. levels. I have no doubt that much of the success we enjoy at Senior School is due to the groundwork put in at the lower levels. It has been a great thrill to have been part of the 1994 Championship team. We have shared some wonderful experiences, on and off the court, in Australia and in New Zealand. The defenders, Emma Sears, Kim Faulkner and Katherine Davis were as mean and selfish a trio as you would find. They created many turnovers and generally made life most uncomfortable for opposing goalers. We derived a great deal of drive from our centre court players, Penne Young and Kate Stewart. Their sure hands and great anticipation ensured plenty of supply for the goalers. It does not matter how good the team is, you will never win games if your goalers can't throw goals. Brooke Jolly and Penny Heard did not let us down. Their aim was deadly, and together they scored between 50 and 75 goals as a matter of course. You don't lose too many with scores like that. I would like to thank Kim Faulkner and Emma Sears, the Vice-Captains of netball for their never-ending support

throughout the season. On behalf of all the girls I would like to thank the coaches, Mrs O'Loughlin, Emma Bail, Mrs Fulton, Kirsten Green, Mrs Fitzpatrick and Miss Utting for their time, enthusiasm and expertise. There is no doubt that the teams' successes accurately reflect their commitment. RHIANNON BOURKE - Captain

KARDINIA PARK NETBA1LL The 1994 season was again a successful one for the eleven Kardinia Park Senior School netball teams. Nine teams qualified for the finals series after the twelve match season and five teams fought hard to secure a place in the Grand Final on Saturday 10 September. Before a large crowd of College supporters the following results were achieved: both the College 9A and HA were Premiers. Runners-Up were College 12B, 11B and 10B. Kardinia Park Best & Fairest Awards went to Jade Irvin (winner), Shannon Tredgett (runner-up), Virginia Blackney (runnerup), Sophie Fitzgerald (winner), Nicole Raven (runner-up). College Best & Fairest Awards went to Rachel Johnston (12A), Zoe Simms (12B), Jade Irvin (HA), Robyn Olsen (11B), Virginia Blackney (10A), Amanda Coutts (10B), Sophie Fitzgerald (Combos), Jemma Sykes (9A), Claire Paterson (9B), Felicity Scott (9C), Desi Tsorotes (9D). Well done to all the girls for another terrific netball season. MISS J. UTTING

Principals come and Principals go ... but there are others who stay... One of the strengths of the College has been the stability of the services staff, a stability that has enabled the College to go forward with changes in its academic program in the knowledge that the "back up" staff are strong and capable of meeting any challenges that may develop in order to enhance the College's educational reputation. This article records specifically the contributions of senior services staff June Sturzaker and Ray Deans who completed significant periods of service during 1994. June joined the domestic staff originally in 1945 when FWR was still Principal and at a time when the Refectory Block was fairly buzzing with resident domestic staff in the quarters in the upper section of the south wing; up to forty staff were accommodated and their duties extended to all catering requirements plus much of the cleaning and domestic activities in the boarding houses. After four years June was required for family reasons to leave the College but was back for a short period during the early 50's and then permanently from 1957. Her main responsibilities in those days involved cooking under the direction of both Mrs Armstrong and Mrs Cloke who were housekeepers of no mean order. Following the retirement of Mrs Cloke and two short lived male Catering Managers June was appointed to the position in 1974 and has occupied the post since; during later years June also managed the cleaning operation. In the earlier days the catering operation was directed to the provision of meals for boarders plus the inevitable morning and afternoon teas for the common room. But this situation changed significantly in the early 80's when the catering staff became increasingly involved in catering for a multitude of functions associated with the wider College community - and it has been done with great panache. In reminiscing about the early days June indicated that the work was constant and that she had only each Tuesday evening and every second Sunday off, one of the highlights of the days off for the staff was a tram ride along Aphrasia Street into town and on to Eastern Beach! The College community, including those who were students in those far off days late in the war years and since, will wish to extend to June deep appreciation for a job very well done, with infinite patience and a readiness to oblige, attributes rarely found in this day and age. We all trust that June will enjoy a well earned retirement and will be able to continue to meet her many College friends in the years ahead. Ray Deans joined the College in March 1962 as Foreman of the Maintenance Department when the workshop was located at the rear of the House of Guilds. Shortly afterwards the workshop was located in Stinton Avenue from which premises it still operates. Ray eventually became the Property Manager and his responsibility covered not only the maintenance of the physical activities but also the manufacture of many furnishings for the boarding houses and the administrative areas, day house lockers and the like. He was the College liaison person for major building projects and there were many undertaken during the period of his service. He

MrA.P. Sheahan, Mr R. Deans, Ms J. Sturzaker and Mr J. Kaye

worked very closely with the College architect, Neil Everist. At all times Ray demanded excellence from the staff under his control and there are many examples around the College which give testimony to his determination to ensure the best was provided for the College; there were no half measures for Ray. On the day of Ray's retirement, there was a gathering of staff and others to wish Ray a pleasant future; the wide range of people from outside the immediate College community was proof of the regard in which Ray is held and of the respect others have for his integrity and the quality of his workmanship. A community like the College relies heavily on the people behind the "front line" to maintain the operation and allow the smooth conduct of the academic processes without hindrance. In the persons of Ray Deans and June Sturzaker the College has been served with distinction, integrity and graciousness and is all the better for their having been a vital part of that community. MR R.B. JAMIESON

VICKI BRADFORD Vicki Bradford joined the College staff in 1978 and immediately made her presence felt. Throughout the sixteen years she served the school at both the preparatory and senior campuses she was remarkable for her energy and enthusiasm. Vicki's expertise in the field of special education was such that students were not permitted to believe for a moment that they could not succeed. She insisted on their fulfilling their potential. Vicki worked closely with staff, both within and outside the classroom, to ensure teaching programs were geared to the specific needs of students. She also hosted innumerable staff functions at her country property at which staff were invited to relax and to renew their enthusiasm for the hard grind of day-to-day teaching. While we wish her well in her new position at GGS, we will miss her wit, wisdom and constant assistance .

raised for society's needs. He worked at the Grampians block in the seventies when he pre-fabricated structures which were transported and erected on site. Rob's 'creations' for Drama go back many years and were usually so solidly constructed that they resisted re-cycling! The wood-working benches for the new Preparatory School Art and Craft Centre were designed and made by him. We wish Robert extended good health in retirement and know that he will enjoy putting on the dark-green, blue and white tie from time to time. Well done Wellsie! MR T.A.EGAN Head of Applied and Fine Arts

ANNE-MARIE BUTT

R.D.WELLS It was the first year of colour television in Australia and the year of the 'dismissal'. At The Geelong College in 1975 the then Principal, Peter Thwaites (dec.) appointed the College's second full time Woodwork teacher, a tall quietly spoken former 'chippy' and technical educator, to the Applied and Fine Arts staff ... Robert Douglas Wells. Robert succeeded Freddy White who had retired, and he quickly assumed command of the dusty shed (1948 Army h u t ) adjacent to Lester Square, in which boys were experiencing woodwork classes.This building was also part of the old HOG complex in Talbot Street (Now the green tennis courts). With Fred Elliott and other HOG staff, Rob made attempts to bring his subject into the contemporary era. When in 1980 the move to the Austin Gray Centre became a reality, he was able to really plan a total conversion of three rooms of the former Preparatory School to a machine shop and modern woodworking centre. The power machinery that he specified was of a quality to go through to the next century and all of this has enabled boys and girls to be involved with the very best of tools and materials. In his time at Aphrasia Street, Robert has worked to establish a centre that is very appealing to students, so much so that it is usual to observe activity over lunchtimes, after school and on weekends! Those of us fortunate enough to examine at first hand the quality of finish and design that is created, especially by Year 11 students, realise that these young people have been very fortunate indeed to have an instructor and teacher of such skill and patience, kindness, and care, yet one expecting and receiving the best from his tutorship. Robert's expertise has extended far outside the woodwork room. He had control of the Social Service program for many years and in that time gave leadership to House officials enabling thousands of dollars to be

Anne-Marie Butt left the Geelong College at the end of Term 2 to take up the position of Head of Languages at the Manila International School in the Philippines. She joined the College staff as a French teacher and Head of LOTE in 1989 and over the following five years oversaw the doubling of the number of language students at the Senior School. During that time she also, among other things, completed a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics at the University of Melbourne, rewrote the VCE French syllabus, published a book about the regions of France and was chief assessor for French in Victoria. Born in Normandy, France, and having lived on three continents, Anne-Marie passionately believed in the benefits of learning a foreign language. She inspired both students and colleagues by her high standards, organisation and creativity. She is the most conscientious teacher I am ever likely to meet; someone who would literally toss and turn in the early hours of the morning, worrying about the best way to explain the subjunctive to her Year 12s or the fairness of her last interim assessment for a particular student. She offered extra grammar classes for struggling students, weekend workshops when Year 12 CATs approached and introduced the innovative and challenging "Tout en francais" method in Years 9 and 10. As head of department, Anne-Marie was a fearless advocate for languages and gave very generously of her time and ideas to her colleagues. We were constantly informed of and encouraged to participate in numerous professional development activities and pushed beyond the "comfort zone" in our teaching. I personally learned an enormous amount from Anne-Marie in terms of French teaching and will be forever grateful to her for this. We wish Anne-Marie the very best in adjusting to a new school, new climate and new country, as we raise a glass of the finest French champagne to her and say "Merci et bonne chance!" MRS J. EKKEL

Caro lyn McA lis ter Carolyn McAlister's love of music, and in particular, her enjoyment of conducting bands, enabled her to guide the Concert Band from 1990 until 1994. She now takes this expertise to her new appointment at St. Leonard's College as the School Band Coordinator. Carolyn worked throughout The Geelong College: as a House Tutor in Mossgiel, as a Tutor in Wettenhall and as a specialist teacher of Woodwind. As well, she taught ensembles and theory groups at the Preparatory School. The highlight of her time at the College was her trip to Japan in April 1992. She was included in the party taking Preparatory School and Year 9 musicians to the City of Izumiotsu which was celebrating its 50th Anniversary. Her most challenging task during the visit was to conduct a Mass Band consisting of three Japanese Junior High Schools and students from The Geelong College in the playing of Waltzing Matilda. We wish Carolyn all the very best for her move to St. Leonard's and know how much she will contribute to the life of her new school.

Kate Connelly Kate's time at the Preparatory School was marked by her enthusiasm and her dedication to her students. She will now pursue the completion of her MA in Health and Behavioural Sciences. Her particular interests in feminism and Outdoor Education were applied during her time at

158

the Preparatory School. She was an invaluable member of the Year 8 Outward Bound Expedition and her awareness of gender issues added to the development of programs relating to equal opportunity at the School. Her lively approach to challenges will be missed by all who worked with her.

David Happell In 1989 David returned to the College where previously he had been the Head of the Senior School - a position he served in with dignity and skill. During his year away he had moved to, and settled in, Melbourne, so it was with some surprise, but great delight that the staff heard of his decision to accept an offer to return to teach the last year of the Eighteenth Century History Course and to introduce the new VCE course - History of Revolutions. A task he has carried out with great aplomb. In his time as a member of the History Department, he brought great credence and status to the subjects he taught, in particular, History of Revolutions. He is an (unpublished) authority on the French Revolution - a fact that his students quickly recognised and appreciated. As a teacher, he was the consummate practitioner. His talent lay in the fact that he would not compromise on accuracy or reasoning. Furthermore, he never lost sight of the importance of remaining a student of the subject he taught; he read widely in his subject area, he sought out new material as it was published, and he was an active observer of the state of History in Victoria. For the people who have known David, they will recognise the great loss this school will experience because of his leaving - he has touched the hearts and minds of so many of his students and colleagues. The College notes the extremely valuable contribution that he has made to this place, and marks with great sadness the departure of a professional colleague, a good friend and a genuinely warm and dignified human being.
