elcome to our first edition of The Terracian for 2003.

The academic year was launched on 31 January

by Bishop William Morris (GT 1956-62) the Bishop of Toowoomba. Bishop Morris challenged each of us to be faithful followers of Blessed Edmund Rice. In challenging the Year Twelves as our student leaders for 2003, Bishop Morris reminded them of the rich inheritance of those who have gone before and the influence they, as seniors, are across this community.

The theme of our opening liturgy ‘Who will speak if you don’t” is one which we continue to revisit during the year. It was wonderful to welcome David Butler (College Captain), Bishop Morris, Safraz Marikar (Vice Captain), such a large number of Year Twelve parents and Dr McManus, Brother Conn and Andrew Cornish (Vice Captain) grandparents to our celebration. After the liturgy, they were able to enjoy luncheon together courtesy of the hard work and hospitality of the Terrace Ladies Group.

February 18 provided us with the opportunity to welcome back to the College Mr Ben White, College Captain 1992 and Rhodes Scholar 1998, who was our Special Guest at Scholars’ Assembly. Each year those young men who have achieved the highest possible academic result, an overall position of 1 are presented with a medal struck in the form of The Buchanan Medal. The Buchanan family, some of whom were present at the laying of the Foundation stone of the original building here in 1875 contributed to awards for academic excellence from our earliest times. The recipients of this year’s Scholar’s Awards included Thomas Beaton, Stephen Burke, Samuel Chan, Ben Chardon, Alexander Coe, Matthew Doyle, Thomas Gole, Alexander Meaney, Tu Pham, Ricky Poon, Matthew Thomas and Stephen Torbey.

In his address, Ben White highlighted the importance of scholarship and hard work mixed with lots of enjoyment as part of the recipe to be “a good Terrace man”. The College Dux and College Vice Captain of 2002, Mr Tom Gole in his entertaining reply speech spoke about “the ten things I would like to have known in Grade Eight.” It is interesting to note that for yet another year 52% of our outgoing Year Twelves from last year secured an OP of 7 or better compared to the State average of 24.25%.

The College Family Open Day and Old Boys’ Annual Mass and AGM was The Principal (Dr Brendan McManus) greets celebrated on Sunday 2 March. A feature of the Old Boys’ Mass was the excellent the Governor (Major General Peter Arnison) choir of recent graduates and staff who led the singing. Our celebrant this year at Tennyson was Fr James O’Donoghue. The Family Open Day provided a wonderful occasion to showcase the depth of Terrace activities and the opportunities within the school community. The Parents and Friends Association co-ordinated a great variety of displays for each of the Supporters Groups whose activities enhance our co-curricular programmes.

On Wednesday 26 March I was privileged to welcome to our Tennyson playing fields, His Excellency the Governor, Major General Peter Arnison in his capacity as the Patron of the Wanderers Cricket Club. Each year the Great Public Schools select a combined Cricket XI to play The Wanderers. Our representative this year was Steven Whiteman from 12 Kearney. The Governor spoke of the hospitality that has always been extended at Tennyson and the quality of the facilities, which our students enjoy. Our Assistant Curator at Tennyson, Mr Craig Jesburg, who was Captain of the Australian Country Cricket team in 1998 and Captain of Queensland Country for three years from 1998-2000 was able to get off the mower long enough to assist The Wanderers in a close win over the schoolboys this year.

As the Lenten season draws to a close, the College wishes you the blessings of Easter.

MOST DECORATED TERRACIAN IN WWI

t the begnning of the school year Dr McManus received a letter from an unknown gentleman in England: “I have recently returned from a short hioliday in France, during which time I visited the Commnwealth War Graves Cemetery at Corbie, a small town near Amiens.Whilst there I saw the grave of Lieutenant-Colonel Terence McSharry, DSO and Bar, and Military Cross. On the grave had been placed a small commemorative card indicating that he was an Old Boy of your College. I found it very moving to be standing in a small cemetery, which is covered in snow and ice at this time of the year and to see that someone fom your College had taken the time to remember the sacrifice made by this soldier.

Congratulations on the school spirit in evidence through this action.”

The card had been placed there by a teacher from Nudgee, Mr Martin Kerby, who is researching past students of Terrace and Nudgee in recent World Wars. As part of his work when he finds a gravesite he places a small laminated card from the school saying where he came from and that he is fondly remembered. The Terrace names came from our Honour Rolls of Old Boys in both World Wars and is done with the knowledge and support of the school authorities. The information about the Keid brothers in the last Terracian came from Mr Kerby.

As far as we know from records in the War Museum Lieutenant-Colonel Terence McSharry who was killed in 1918 after being at Gallipoli is our most decorated Old Boy. May he rest in peace.

THE 1942 WORLD OF JOHN B. MAGUIRE

BR REIDY, 100 YEARS

T

his year, 2003, makes it just 100 years since Brother Reidy arrived in Gregory Terrace. In 1903 Br Reidy, fresh from Ireland, was first stationed on Gregory Terrace - but he walked each day down to Boundary Street as he was Headmaster of St James’.

St James’ was the first Catholic Boys’ School in Brisbane and had been started by lay teachers. The Christian Brothers had taken over the school twelve years previously and Br Reidy was appointed the third Headmaster.

However in 1905 Br Reidy was appointed Headmaster of Gregory Terrace. And this began his first of four stints as Headmaster - 1905-1908, 1923-1924, 1931-1934 and 1941-1946.

Br Reidy was regarded as a “strong” Headmaster and this would account for his brief times in control as he was moved to “help out” other schools and was also moved by the Brothers into positions of TERRACIANS AT GPS ATHLETICS IN SEPTEMBER 1941 prominence.

THE 1952 SENIOR REUNION, 2002

W

HEADMASTERS

ith the announcement that Dr Brendan McManus has decided to retire from the Principalship of Terrace at the end of 2003, it is appropriate to look over the list of those who have held that position since 1875.

1875-1881 Br J. J. Barrett (1) 1882 Br J. J. Mullen (1) !883-1885 Br J. J. Barrett (2) 1886-1887 Br D. F. Bodkin 1888-1891 Br B. J. Morgan 1892-1896 Br J. J. Mullen (2) 1897 Br W. N.

1925-1930 Br J. A. Kearney (1) SECOND ROW: Br Barry Muckley, John Harrison, Ted Harvey, Terry Sherman, John Conroy, 1931-1934 Br W. M. Reidy (3) Grey Wildermuth, Bill Leighton, Leo Hegerty 1936-1937 Br J. A. Kearney (2) FRONT ROW: Ashley Goldsworthy, Santo Toscano, John Carr, John Farry, Barry Dittmer, Morris Dwyer, John Rees, John King, Rev Pat Dowd, Adrian Ponting 1938-1940 Br T. N. Bourke 1941-1946 Br W. M. Reidy (4) or many years, Br Ed O’Donnell has been available for those past students that he taught 1947-1952 Br F. J. Levander in Terrace while he was here in 1948-50. During those years he shared the two Sub-Junior 1953-1958 Br O. S. Adams classes with Br Madden (‘48, RIP), Br Clarkson (‘49) and Br Trinks (‘50, RIP). I am sure they are 1959-1964 Br J. S. Campbell well and ruly remembered by scores of Terrace Old Boys. He died in mid-January and with him 1965-1966 Br W. L. Davy goes a link to the past for many Old Boys.

1967 Br N. N. McBrien Last year’s “50 Years since Senior” Class had Br O’Donnell to share their Jubilee with them as 1968 Br B. D. Crawford he had taught them in 1949 in Sub-Junior and had plenty of ancient results to prove it! More than 1969-1971 Br J. H. Lynch fifty years flashed by when he spoke to them!

1972 Br J. J. Hodda Br O’Donnell came to live on Gregory Terrace in 1945, but he was Headmaster of St James for 1973-1981 Br B. M. Buckley the first two years. He had arrived at Terrace from Charters Towers and he left a great friend there, 1982-1989 Br A. J. White Father Rush, who spoke about him in 1991 at Nudgee’s Centenary when he was Archbishop 1990-1992 Br L. E. Magee Rush: “Br O’Donnell is as radiantly happy in his vocation and as enthusiastic as he was fifty 1993-2003 Dr B. J. McManus years ago when I knew him as a young Brother in north Queensland. He is the epitome of those or the majority of the time that Christian qualities which all of us have found in the best Christian Brothers we have known and in the Brothers were Headmaster/Principal, the students of whom they are most proud.” And there is no doubt in the minds of any of those of us who saw Br O’Donnell meeting his students again after fifty years about how proud he was usual expectation was that the appointment was for three years with the good chance of it being of them!

James Crowley (GT 1944-1952) came in Fourth Grade and met Br Hannigan. Then Br Ryan extended to six years, but no more. It is obvious taught him, taking over the task of what Br Hannigan had planted and watered. “Then we met a that all sorts of reasons must have caused such white-haired gentleman (looking back he must have been all of thirty) but seemed to us to have short Headmasterships - personal reasons, sickbeen about sixty! This was Brother O’Donnell who stepped into the breech left by the transfer of ness, appointments to other positions in the Br Robinson and gave us the best grounding in primary subjects. Later when he taught us again Christian Brothers.

Congratulations to Dr McManus on being in Sub-Junior (about the current Year 9) he gave us one of the three old Boy Headmasters and for the best grounding in secondary school subjects holding the position for the longest at one time! that anyone could have wished for. He was a most gifted teacher, probably as talented as the great ‘Doc” himself, but never teaching with the same authority.” These words are from May 1985, at a celebration honouring the hanging of a portrait of Br Levander which is now in the Founder’s Room.

It is interesting that Br O’Donnell [At right] has had such an influence over the students whom he taught at Terrace over the years 1947 to 1950. It is over half a century ago, but the students seem never to have forgotten the experience.

May Br O’Donnell rest in peace and those deceased Old Boys from his Terrace days!

NEW AND OLD STAFF RETURN

SEAN KELLIHER

s usual, 2003 started with a week when the College Leadership Team returned to the school and then followed a Staff Week. No doubt this will make a significant contribution to the Terrace staff when possible problems for 2003 were discussed and - we hope - solved! Many new staff, both men and women were welcomed. Some are returning and others are joining the Terrace community for the first time. We hope their time with us is interesting for them and that they can make a very significant contribition to the teaching and learning processes at Terrace.

Ms Vicki Sargent (Director of Culture and Activities), Mr Dean Patterson (Sports Administrator), MrPeter Fullagar (College Dean)

A special welcome to our new College Dean, Mr Peter Fullager, who comes to us with a wealth of experience from his former role of Deputy Principal at Iona College.

Sean Kelliher returns to Brisbane

A

mong those returning to his home city recently was Sean Kelliher (GT 1988-92) who danced in the Brisbane part of the spectacular Riverdance in Brisbane earlier this year.

He learned Irish dancing as a boy when his sisters took him along to practice. Now after seventeen years of dancing he still gets a thrill out of the energetic style that has taken him on tour over the past four years. He can tap twenty-eight beats a second - that’s fast!

We wish him continued success.

START OF 2003

s in every year, the start of school in 2003 was a “Gala Day” for those in Year 5, Year 8 and Senior in particular.

Our pictures show some aspects of this: Picture 1, below: The entrance to Terrace, decorated with red and black baloons greets the “New Boys” and one young relative (Year 5, 2005?) seeks a souvenir of Day One, 2003!

He was appointed to Terrace again from 1945-1951. He spent two years again at St James’ where he was Headmaster and then began what was for him an extremely happy time teaching at Gregory Terrace. He often spoke to me about these times and always kept records of all the boys he had taught and some results!

He certainly regarded these years as some of the happiest of his life.

Then like so many Brothers he was transferred far away and was in Melbourne until the end of 1974. Then he spent memorable years at Hobart where he had his first - and very interesting - experience of teaching Senior girls. In 1990 he returned to Melboutne and retirement at Mt Sion, Parkville. May he rest in peace.

PEACE VIGIL

CALLING OLD BOY MUSICIANS This is a message from Miss Viki Sargent (Director of Culture and Activities) for Old Boy musicians, especially those recently at Terrace.

We are looking for a number of recent Old Boys who played in our bands and orchestras to be part of a combined group of current and past students. They will perform together towards the end of 2003.

T

he Peace Vigil in the Chapel of the Holy Family. In response to the words of PopeJohn Paul II and the Australian Bishops’ Conference College students prayed for peace in our world.

Most classes spent time in the Chapel and lit votive candles as they prayed for peace. They also remembered the men and women of our armed forces who for so long have defended freedom with so much courage.

FAMILY OPEN DAY, SU

T

he 2003 Family Open Day was celebrated at the College. It was also the day chosen by the Gregory Terrace Old Boys’ Association to celebrate t Annual Mass in the Chapel of the Holy Family at 9.15 am, followed by the AnnualGeneral Meeting which was timed for 10.00. Mass celebrated by Old Boy Fr James O’Donoghue for which we are all v grateful. This meant that those families who wished could also join Old Boys for their Mass and then attend the variety of activities provi for the Open Day. T h e s e activities included tours of the College provided by Year 12 “Tour Guides” who were very informative and very popular with visitors! There were many teaching and learning displays around the campus as well as a variety of technology displ Most of the Supporter Groups provided displays to show new parents especially what kind of help they provided for College students and t parents.

There were displays given by gymnasts and musicians, displays cov ing all areas of the curriculum as well as our various overseas excha programmes. There were also displays showing activities students w doing so well in Theatresports games.

Parents and Friends Association members provided BBQ lunch facilities and refreshments at very reasonable prices. Many Terrace families used Open Day as a great chance to show aunts, uncles and grandparents at first hand just what Terrace is able to offer in the academic, sporting and cultural areas as well as the purely academic world.

One of the features that pleased staff members was the number of fa recent Old Boys who returned to sing at the Old Boys’ Mass with the Coll Choir. Among those who were there: Brian Cook, Ben Long, Michael Hod Chris Nolan, Andrew Hodge, Glen Schafer, William O’Callaghan, C McIlwain, Raphael Hudson and Tim Robetts. It was great to see so m students from recent years involved again.

A NEW DEBATING HONOURS BOARD

C

ollege Hall is a favourite visiting place for any Old Boy visitor to the College as it is virtually a walk through history. And at least since the Photo Boards were started in 1924 there are photos of just about every Terrace student! And some of the Honour Boards go back to 1875 when the College started.

One area still to be completed is a DEBATING HONOUR BOARD. The College is compiling lists of Captains of Debating for a new Honour Board.

We are still searching for names of the Captains. If you can help, please contact Miss Sargent on 3214 5216 or vikisargent@terrace.qld.edu.au.

We are missing names in the following years: 1950, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972.

THE BUCHANAN MEDAL - 2003 STYLE!

T

he Buchanan Medal is part of Terrace history! It was begun in 1885 and continued unchanged until 1925 - a total of 41years.

The first gold medals were presented in 1885 (ten years from the beginnng at Terrace!) by Mrs Jessie Buchanan in memory of her husband who was a very successful master butcher in the early days of Brisbane.John Buchanan died leaving a young family including two surviving sons both of whom attended Terrace. Both completed University (then in Sydney).

O n e became a doctor w h o w e n t overseas with the Light Horse Field Ambulance and was killed in action. The other became Lord Mayor of Brisbane in 1908 and again in 1919. There were also three daughters. Jessie herself survived until she died in 1944 aged ninety-six.

The medals were presented to two students each year: the one who got the best results in what b e c a m e known as “Senior” and the one who got the best results in “Junior”. Even from the earliest days it was something worth striving for as even in those days to be “Dux” of Terrace was an accomplishment. Some well-known Terracians won the Buchanan Medal: James Gibney in 1899 whose son allowed the College to copy it to use as a model for our Scholars Medal since 1996; Rugby International and Australian Captain Jimmy Flynn, 1910; Terrace’s first Judge, Joseph Sheehy, 1914; Len Heenan who won a Senior Exhibition at age fifteen and later was Headmaster of Toowoomba Grammar School, 1918; and the last medal was won by James Mahoney, later Professor of French at Queensland University and Rhodes Scholar after whom Mahoney House is named, 1925.

In choosing one of our earliest symbols of academic excellence as the model for our new Scholars Medal for to present to scholars of excellence, we seek to honour appropriately those who continue to embody the spirit of Edmund Rice Education in the best academic tradition of those students of excellence who went before us at Terrace.

An alphabetical list of the Award winners is: Thomas Beaton, Stephen Bourke, Samuel Chan, Ben Chardon, Alexander Coe, Matthew Doyle, Thomas Gole, Alexander Meaney, Tu Pham, Ricky Poon, Matthew Thomas and Stephen Torbey. Many of the OP1 winners were accompanied by their parents and family friends. These were invited to a lunch with Staff and visitors afterwards.

As far as possible a past student with an outstanding academic record is asked to present the awards, and this year Mr Ben White, Barrister and past Rhodes Scholar accepted the invitation. He was also School Captain and did very well in sport, music, debating and public speaking. As well he gained an OP1 himself at the end of Senior in 1992.

“WHO WILL SPEAK IF YOU DON’T?” - INAUGURAL MASS, 2003

T

he Celebrant of this Mass was Bishop William Morris, Bishop of Toowoomba and a past student of St Joseph’s College. The special guests included Brother Paul Conn from the Provincial Leadership Team and parents of the Senior Class of 2003.

The theme of the Mass “Who will speak if you don’t?” as this was sung by the Choir and the whole College as the Class of 2003 were presented with their Senior Badges by the College Leadership Team and House Deans.

Then the badges were pinned onto their sons by the parents. Then, led by the College Captain (David Butler) and the Vice-Captains (Andrew Cornish and Safraz Marikar), the Seniors made the Senior Promse for 2003. Then witnessed by their parents, the Seniors and the assembled staff and students, the House Captains for 2003, the College Captain and Vice-Captains came forwards to receive their Badges of Service and their Blazers from Bishop Morris, Dr McManus and Brother Paul Conn. These badges were also pinned on by their parents In the Homily Bishop Morris challenged every person in the Campbell Centre whether students, staff or parents within the Terrace community - to develop their work in the various Gregory Terrace Social Service ministries.

At the end of the Mass the reflection was spoken by the newly inaugurated College Captain for 2003. He was followed by Dr McManus who congratulated the Seniors and the new College Leaders and thanked all those responsible for such a successful Inauguration Mass - including all the parents for their attendance and support.

Finally Bishop Morris won many hearts when he asked that the students be given a holiday - and Dr McManus said later that it would be celebrated on Monday September 8 when the Church celebrates the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Later staff, parents, teachers and the new College Leaders celebrated with a light lunch in College Hall.

THE “FLYING FINGLETONS” FLY IN!

T

ony Fingleton (GT 1954-57) provided a great treat for the Film and TV classes recently. He was visiting Brisbane this year to promote the release of his latest film Swimming Upstream and came to his old school to talk about the film. For the students he was a famous Old Boy who had just successfully completed a film depicting his family about the time he was attending Gregory Terrace as a student. He was accompanied by his brother Ron (GT 1954-63). [See GPS Photo on the next page.]

They spoke at length with the students about their days in Terrace in the mid 1950s and early 1960s. Tony spoke about his life since leaving Australia about forty years ago to take up a scholarship at Havard University and gave insights about the US film industry where he has made his reputation and career.

Tony’s reputation at Terrace was, of course, as a swimmer - a champion backstroker who went on to win a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Perth in 1962. He recalled the quadrangle during breaks and the small pool that used to be near where the Tunnel is now, always cold, and where the boys trained. For the Fingletons, serious training was at the Spring Hill Baths just around the corner from the family home in Boundary Street.

His life growing up is depicted in the film, the idea for which came from a manuscript of their lives in the 1960s written by him and his sister Diane. His obvious excitement about the film was infectious and the students asked question after question. Tony explained that, while the film was set in a different era, the problems he encountered are still the problems many young people have to deal with today. As the film shows, his was a tough family life since they were quite poorly off, but very fortunate to attend Terrace with his two brothers through the kindness of the Headmaster of the time, Brother Adams.

When answering questions about his career he said that at school he had no idea of what he wanted to do. He was a teacher for two years CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE PHOTO 1 - Mr Ron Fingleton meets the students, PHOTO 2 - Mr Michael Dezuanni (Head of Middle Schooling/ Coordinator Film and Television), brings Ron (left) and Tony Fingleton to meet the students.

before moving to the USA. He swam for only one year before lack of inclination overtook any desire he had to continue training.

Luckily Harvard honoured the arrangement they had made with him at the University as, unlike many others, they pride themselves on having no sporting scholarships.

After four years at Harvard, Tony married and moved to New York to live. He explained that he “drifted” into script writing for a living in 1978.

Sometimes he writes his own screen plays, but quite regularly re-writes other people’s scripts for the movie houses.

The students’ questions quickly returned to Swimming Upstream.

They wanted to know more about the actors, in particular Jesse Spencer who plays the part of Tony in the film. Tony was full of praise for this amazing young man who is a great talent and a star of the future. Jesse, not a swimmer, worked for two weeks on his backstroke in preparation for the cameras. He played his role with a maturity beyond his years and was fortunate to be supported by an outstanding cast of actors and expert direction. Tony was thrilled when Geoffrey Rush and Judy Davis were signed as leads to play his parents. He said that being on set daily with these consummate professionals was one of the highlights of his career.

Tony told the students that it was difficult for Ron and him to relive some of the vivid scenes in the movie. Ron told them that his escape as a kid was to buzz off and play marbles.

And when asked about his future Tony said that he had two more films well advanced and that he hoped to get back to Australia soon for their release. Finally Timothy Garnaut (12T) on behalf of all present thanked Mr Tony and Mr Ron Fingleton for visiting Terrace to speak to the group about the new film and their lives since school days. It had been a great experience for them as here was an Old Boy who was successful in Award Winning the very areas they are inter• Reception ested in exploring.

OLD BOY WEDDINGS IN THE CHAPEL

HIGH COMMISSIONER AT MALTA

E

arly in March the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Alexander Downer, announced that Richard Palk, CSM, (GT 1961-68) had been appointed as Australia’s High Commissioner to the Republic of Malta.

Mr Palk joined the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in 1994 after a 17-year career as a Regular Army officer with the Australian Defence Force. As an ADF Lieutenant Colonel, he held Senior Defence Public Affairs positions in Sydney and overseas including Phnom Penh in 1992 and 1993.

He served in Bangkok from 1995 to 1999 as Counsellor and Consul-General. And then from 1999-2002 in Kuala Lumpur as Consul-General.

He was born in Brisbane and holds a Bachelor of Arts from Queensland University and was awarded a Conspicuous Service Medal (CSM) in the 1994 Australia Day Honours for his service in Cambodia. Mr Palk is married and he and his wife Helen have two adult daughters.

We wish in well in his new position just as Malta joins the European Union.

any thanks to Merv Warren who was pleased to “recall some memories of long ago of fellows who shared those days” of Terrace in 1929-31.

“I’m 88 years, with next birthday on March 27. [Many happy returns from the Editor!] Elder brother Harry (Jim) is 92 and young brother Bill is 85. One of our great grandchildren is now 5 and has his name down for Terrace. His dad and grandfather also went to Terrace!

Merv also sent a copy of a letter from their Scholarship teacher, Br Redmond, that he wrote after the Jubilee celebrations in 1968. “We thought him a hard taskmaster, bringing us back to school on Saturday mornings! But it got results for which later we were thankful. Many lads from 1928 in St James went to Terrace, like myself, for higher education.”

He sent a list of those who were in the 1928 Scholarship class and it had many great Terracans amongst them! Names like Fr J. Rosenkjar, Bill Byrne, Jim Falvey, Joe French, Br Jim Hodda, Jack Maccheroni, Jim Sheedy - and many others that I was not sure about.

Many thanks!

uring the last school holidays Douglas Izatt (12T) successfully completed his A, B and C Certificates in gliding. Doug has been flying for nearly two years at Boonah Gliding Club and was introduced to the sport by a family friend.

He explained that each level involved flying experience and series of theory and practical tests. The C Certificate required as a prerequisite twenty solo flights with at least two in excess of an hour. The practical examination Doug Izatt beside his new ASK21 Glider at Boonah required demonstrated proficiency in the recovery out of a spin and a forced landing away from the drome.

Doug is now rated to take up a passenger in the local air space and his mother Marina bravely accepted that invitation! He said that everyone should try the exhilaration of gliding - while the trainers travelled at around 80 km per hour, some of the club’s wide winged gliders can reach speeds in excess of 300 km per hour, Doug will be continuing gliding as recreation and hopes to follow a career in aviation with an application presently under way with the Australian Defence Force Academy. Congratulations and good luck.
