ot many people would be brave enough to ask the question posed by Jesus in the Gospel - “Who do people say I am?” Recently w h e n George Bush, President of the United States, was doing his rounds of public relations in a nursing home, he came upon a wizened old man. The old man was hobbling down the corridor. President Bush took the man by the hand and said, “Sir, do you know who I am?” The old man replied, “No, but if you ask one of the nurses over there, she may tell you.”

A classic story is told of a young mother out walking her baby when a friendly stranger stopped her, peered into the pram and exclaimed, “What a beautiful child!” “Oh!” said the mother, apparently not much flattered. “You ought to see his photograph.” In these times there are constant efforts to persuade us that the image is more than the reality .

During the year, with the current Strategic Plan for the College coming to an end, we have been wrestling with the issues of reality - the reality of future directions. In other words, what is best for the young men of Terrace for the next period of time: • that builds on the best of our tradition • that is reflective of the best of known research into boys and boys’ learning • that captures the support and encouragement of the wider Terrace community • that embraces the appropriate technologies, pedagogies, sporting and cultural structures within a broad curriculum, and • continues to develop men as life long learners and good citizens.

As part of our Strategic Planning processes, the College during the course of the year entered into negotiations with one of its neighbours, the RACQ, with the view to expand the College Campus with the purchase of the RACQ property in Water Street. These negotiations have now been completed with a guaranteed material change of use of the property from the Brisbane City Council and an unconditional contract in place between the RACQ and the Trustees of the College, the Christian Brothers, which will settle at the end of October, 2005.

The RACQ property which is to be renamed Waterford Place after the foundation of the Christian Brothers in Waterford, Ireland, is integral to our plans for further reform in Years Nine and Ten and our transition into Senior Schooling. It represents an exciting opportunity for our learning community. To meet the specific needs of boys at this stage of their development, we need to respond to their specific intellectual, social, emotional, moral, spiritual and physical needs. We believe an acquisition of such a place as the Waterford Place site for the Upper Middle School students can most effectively meet these needs.

I wish to acknowledge the very generous support the College has received from parent Mr John Mullins from Mullins and Mullins, Old Boys Chris Buckley (GT ‘74) from Buckley and Vann Town Planners, Mr Peter Toon (GT ‘65) from Peter Toon Landscape Architects, Mr Tony Macksey from Macksey Rush Architects, Mr Brian Flannery (Chair of the College Foundation) and the College Foundation, Mr Lester White (Chair of the College Board) and the College Board and the Trustees of the Christian Brothers for their support of this innovative project. It is our hope to bring the new campus on line at the start of the 2007 academic year after a period of refurbishment. Projects such as these don’t happen without generous support of the College Foundation which is the capital arm of all major projects of the College.

I am delighted to say that the College Foundation has received a substantial bequest from the estate of the late Old Boy, Mr James D. Mahoney (GT ‘57). He was a great educator and supporter of the College over an extended period of time. We are most appreciative of this generous gift.

While some concept plans of the physical development of the Waterford Place site have been developed, planning is now underway for the curriculum design chaired by the Head of Middle Schooling, Mrs Therese Kotzas. We will continue to keep the community informed as this exciting project develops.

In recent weeks we have had the opportunity to celebrate excellence across the year with the annual Celebration of Excellence Evening which was held at the Brisbane Convention Centre.

MORE HISTORY OF THE BUCHANAN MEDAL

I

n the Brisbane Courier Mail of May 4, 1944, we read, “By the death of Mrs J. J. Buchanan, which occurred yesterday, a link with the early days of Brisbane has been severed: she was one of the oldest living inhabitants of the city, having been born here more than 94 years ago December 13, 1849! [Picture at right from the Courier Mail.]

“Mrs Buchanan was the daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Thomas Fraser of Brisbane and about 71 years ago she married the late Mr J. A. Buchanan.” She must have watched Brisbane grow Mrs JessieBuchanan from its infancy - she was born when it was still part of the Colony of NSW - until it was a bustling town and she helped foster education and health in Brisbane through the awarding of the Buchanan Medal at Terrace and working for the Brisbane General Hospital Committee.

John Alfred Buchanan was born in Enniskillen in Ireland in 1843 and was a master-butcher and by the time he died in Brisbane in 1886 he was part owner of the Cooperative Butchering Company. His death came as a result of acciental drowning at age 42. After the first medal in 1885 his wife must have presented them to the College each year in his memory. There seem to have been two each year, one for the best Senior pass and one for the best Junior pass. They were presented from 1885 until the last presentation to the first of the Terrace Rhodes Scholars, James Mahoney, in 1925 - a total of 41 years!

When the College recently wished to honour students who received the top honour of an OP1, it was decided to award them with a facsimile of the 1899 Buchanan Medal. This particular year was chosen because a copy had been loaned to the College by the family of James Gibney, the winner. So, with their approval, copies of the original gold medal were made of gold-plated sterling silver. The first presentations were made in 1997 at what was called The Scholars’ Assembly and has continued each year since.

Jessie and John Buchanan had two sons and three daughters. The eldest was Charles Pakenham Buchanan [at left as Alderman.] who was born in 1874, educated at Terrace and graduated from Sydney University with a BA. (At that time, and until 1910, a Queensland University was still a dream.) He was later twice Mayor of Brisbane in 1908 and in 1918-1919. He had four sons all of whom were educated at Terrace.

The husband of Mrs Pam Buchanan who has provided this extra information is one of Charles Buchanan’s grandsons.

In 1880 their second son, Joseph Buchanan, was born, and was educated at Gregory Terrace and graduated from Sydney University with an MB. He was at the landing at Gallipoli on April 25, 1915, and wrote, “After the landing at Gallipoli, when we arrived at the beach the boats couldn’t get into the shore and we waded ashore and then ran up the beach to shelter. All the time snipers were picking off men as they ran - it took all my strength not to dive back into the water, and crossing the beach was the bravest thing I have ever done or am likely to do.” He was later invalided out to the hospital at Heliopolis in Egypt suffering from dysentry and it was there that he died in 1915. He was a Captain in the 2nd Light Horse. At a Terrace end of year func-

tion later in that year, Dr Duhig was speaking to the parents and the students and he said, “Our hearts went out in sympathy to Mrs Buchanan who lost one of her boys, who was one of the first doctors in Queensland to go to the front, and who was particularly clever and had before him a very bright prospect in regard to his career as a medical man.”

Charles Buchanan had four sons who were all educated at Terrace This photo of early in the last century. They were: Joseph Buchanan John Pakenham Buchanan was taken at his Graduation as MD at Reginald Patrick Pakenham Buchanan Sydney University.

Joseph McKenzie Pakenham Buchanan It was in the 1905 Terrace Magazine. [Below] and Hilary Pakenham Buchanan.

This material has been provided

by Mrs Pam Buchanan whose husband, Bruce, was a son of Joseph McKenzie Pakenham Buchanan - and thus Mrs Jessie Jane Buchanan was their great-grandmother. The last of the Buchanan family to attend Terrace was one of Bruce Buchanan’s cousins, Stuart Buchanan Cramond who attended Terrace from 1959-1968 and graduated from Queensland University with honours in 1974. Two other nephews of Charles Buchanan who attended Terrace were Dr Evan Edwards and the late Fr David Edwards.

Jessie Jane Buchanan was born a Presbyterian, but before her marriage to John Alfred she embraced the Catholic faith under the instruction of the nuns at All Hallows. They were married in the Convent Chapel in 1873.

The Buchanan family donated the old marble altar at St Stephen’s Cathedral (now behind the new altar) and the young James Duhig had worked for the Cooperative Butchering Company owned by J. A. Buchanan and Thomas Mooney.

The Buchanan family lived at “Erneton” a home they built on Wickham Terrace. This was later sold to the Catholic Church and became the first St Leo’s University College and then later became the Holy Spirit Hospital until it was transferred recently to Carseldine.

It took some time to trace a Buchanan Medal since it was now 1996 and the last medal had been presented to a young James Mahoney for his Senior results in 1925, some seventy years before! However, Professor Mahoney wrote in a speech he had prepared, “I still have that Buchanan Medal, the last one awarded, and I shall be happy to leave it to the Archives if that is appropriate.” His son, also a Rhodes Scholar, read that speech, because his father had died a few days earlier.

The Scholars’ Medal used [above] was copied from that won in 1899 by James Gibney.

The Trophy Cabinet - in the College Foyer LOTS OF HISTORY! Some of the Trophies in the Cabinet are “perpetual”. This means that they are competed for each year. After the competition the winner’s name is placed on the Trophy with the date and the winner is awarded a facsimile of the Award - for example, Dux of the College.

Some of the Trophies are GPS Trophies which are competed for each year. The winning school inscribes the name of the school and the date and after the next competition date the Award is either kept at the school if it is won again; or it moves to the next winning school.

Some of the trophies are “one-off” meaning that the Trophy is competed for and retained by the winning person or team. Sometimes the Trophy is presented to the school by the family of the winner - for example the Buchanan Medal of 1925 which was won by Professor Mahoney and left to the school on his death.

Some items have been presented to the school by visiting teams who wished to show their appreciation of Terrace.

Sometimes, too, a trophy has been found decades after it was won and has been passed on to the school by a well-wisher who found it or was given it.

Mervyn C. Warren, “Warco”

M

erv Warren was a student at Terrace in Sub-Junior and Junior in 1928 and 1929.

Soon afterwards Merv started work as a journalist at the recommendation of Br Kearney and later stayed with the Brisbane Telegraph for 23 years.

At the onset of World War II he began working as a war correspondent (“Warco”) and worked in that capacity with General Douglas MacArthur’s forces from 1942 to 1945.

Now in his nineties, he wrote recently: Herewith a copy of the brochure that I have contributed to the MacArthur Museum that has opened in the MacArthur Chambers in Brisbane. You may wish to add it to the college archives as another record of events in the years of World War II. Kindest regards and God bless” Many thanks, Merv. It will be proudly added to the Archives!

One of his stories in the brochure “While on a flight it is not easy to lose a tie, worn round the neck, but that happened to me.

Near the end of World War II when I came back from the Phillipines, I wanted to report to the Editor of the Sydney Sun, one of the newspapers I had represented, and I took my wife Norma on the trip to Sydney.

Bad weather had closed Mascot Airport and the civil aircraft was diverted to Williamstown to stay there overnight. The ‘civilians’ were given quarters and I was invited to the officers’ mess for a nightcap.

Having a war-correspondent around was a novelty and I was plied with drinks. After each round someone snipped off a piece of my tie and at the end of proceedings only the knot at the neck remained!”

I have just received my copy of the Terracian and my attention was drawn to the list of prior Headmasters. Three names literally jumped out: Bros Levander, Campbell and Hodda. I remember all three very well......

“Having read the list my attention and pleasure was drawn to Paul Sherman’s verse. Paul was a contemporary in a group that included John Seymour (brilliant) RIP, David Woodland (now an Emeritus Professor inArmidale), Joe Ostwald (a Doctor of Science) and my humble self.....

“I love reading the Terracian - as does my son who would have been “a son of an old boy” had he not come out to England in 1965............It’s great to have all the news of Terrace - where I obtained the most marvellous education - and my congratulations to the Soccer First XI and their win in the Uhlsport Cup!” David Tuffield, GT 1948-51

“Simon’s Simply the Best”

T

his is how The Courier-Mail of November 6, 2004, headed its article on the Queensland Rhodes Scholar for 2005. It went on, “He is now officially one of the country’s best and brightest, winning a two-year scholarship to Oxford University.”

The Rhodes honour roll is a “Who’s Who” of the globe’s movers and shakers.

Recipients include Bob Kawke, Bill Clinton, Edward de Bono, Naomi Wolf -and sixteen other Terrace students!

Mr Quinn, 23, is completing an Economics-Law degree at UQ and plans to undertake a Master of Economics at Oxford.

“Ultimately, I want to try to solve some of the economic problems facing the world’s poorest countries,” he said.

“There is still so much to be learned - it’s a long, hard road.”

Congratulations, Simon, from all at Terrace!

“Old Books” “Old books that lie upon my shelf, What images you contain, A picture here, a word, a line, That stirs my mem’ry not in vain.

Your pages neat, though weathered bound, The marks of years and age, The thoughts that lie arrested still In every yellowed page.

But these alone, I mention not, But other words as true Written by the friends we have, Those old, those chosen few.

And yet again I come across, Two photos, or p’rhaps three, My sister and my brother there, So plain, so clear to see.

And mental reservations that I had, Jotted in fading ink Of lessons that were taught at school.

Their scope I cannot think.

It is with pleasure and with time I look across those days, That lie between your covered hands In black, unspoken ways.”

REVISITING 1984 - TWENTY YEARS OF HISTORY AGO

his was the year the Br F.E. Rodgers’ Pavilion was opened at Tennyson. This is how the “Terrace News” in May reported the occasion.

Planning was begun by Br Buckley who had Brian Hackett draw up plans in 1979. By late 1982 a committee of interested parents offered their services to Br White to arrange a long term plan for the future development of Tennyson. This “Think-Tank” met frequently. As a result Landplan Studios were engaged to develop a master plan for the whole area and this was completed in mid ‘83.

“Brian Hackett then redrew plans for the pavilion and Barry Kelly was the successful tenderer. Joe Sheehy and Co designed the relocation of fields 5 and 6 with the inclusion of three new concrete wickets. The Parents and Friends have undertaken a massive tree-planting operation and under John Matson’s direction have this year [1984] planted two hundred and fifty trees with about five hundred to go. The Terrace Ladies’ Group has provided all furnishings in the pavilion.

On the l o w e r level, the BR F.E. RODGERS PAVILION, 2004 pavilion has This was part of the crowd that came to Tennyson for the Terrace-Nudgee match. two change rooms, a referees’ change room, an office and public toilets. On the upper level, there is a large function room (with a total dining capacity of almost two hundred) and a food preparation area. Besides being used to entertain our visitors on home play days, the function room GREGORY TERRACE EIGHT, 1984 Coached by Gary Merritt, GT came third at the Head. will be available for many other uses.

The current development, the first major one since the sixties, has Tennyson with facilities of which we can be justly proud. Present and future generations of Terracians will always be indebted to those whose foresight, generosity and involvement have made the present a reality.

With all the satisfaction felt at Terrace this year after our first Cricket Premiership since 1952, it is hard to realise how the students must have felt after the 1984 GPS Cricket Premiership Season - 28/1/84 v NC, Draw; 11/2 v BBC, Draw; 18/2 v BSHS, Lost; 25/2 v TGS, Lost; 3/3 v TGS, Draw; 10/3 v ACGS, Lost; 1/4 v BGS, Draw; and 7/4 v TSS, Washout - Draw.

Hopes were high at the GPS Swimming Championships at Chandler. Unfortunately the Open Relay Team after winning the`event quite easily was disqualified for breaking at one of the exchanges! And so the team finished fourth! These are the results - 1. BSHS 326 points; 2. ACGS/BGS 237; 4. GT 232; 5. BBC 211; 6. TSS 203; 7. IGS 192; 8. NC 136; 9. TGS 120.

Terrace had won their first GPS Head of the River 1982 and the 1983 event had been marred by protests and claims and counter-claims until the GPS Headmasters had declared “No Race”. For 1983 Terrace hopes were reasonably good. The race finished with GT third, a length behind the winners. Places were - 1. BGS; 2. TSS; 3. GT; 4. ACGS; 5. BBC; 6. BSHS. Other GPS schools did not compete.

The GPS Rugby Premiership, 1984 - GT results were a mixed lot: 12/5/84 v NC, Lost 8-9; 26/9 v BBC, Lost 6-25; 2/6 v BSHS, Won 183; 9/6 v TGS, Won 14-13; 14/7 v IGS, Lost 6-15; 21/7 v ACGS, Lost 3-6; 28/7 v BGS, Won 16-9; 4/8 v TSS, Lost 3-17.

The GPS Cross Country Championships, 1984. These were the times when Terrace seemed to regard Cross Country as one of those sports that appealed only to “fanatics”! As a result the ninety-nine member team achieved sixth place overall.

“Where’s Charley?” was the musical-comedy presented by All Hallows’ School and St Joseph’s College in 1984. It was based on “Charley’s Aunt”. It was the sixth combined production of the two schools and the varied and musical score presented many opportunities for comedy and dancing. Many staff were also involved including Patricia Barry, Vicki Sargent, Peter Tuckwell, Matt Mackle, Terry Sullivan. The conductor was Geoffrey Secomb, the Musical Director was Jean Jacobson and the Stage Director was Alec Raymond. Well done!

From “Terrace News” of November 16, 1884: Last Friday night, as Terrace prepared to celebrate the end of the 1984 school year with the presentation of its 109th Speech Night, news was received with sadness of the sudden death of Brother Campbell.[Photo courtesy of Queensland Newspapers at left.] Always one of our most welcome and distinguished visitors, Brother had passed away as he was dressing to attend the evening’s exercises at the College. A portrait of Brother Campbell painted by Sir William Dargie, OBE, is in the Administration Block; and an excellent full-scale, similarly framed photograph donated by the 1952 DOC’S FUNERAL, NOVEMBER 1984 Seniors has been placed in the Founder’s Room. It is Terrace students provide a guard-of-honour well worth a visit by any past-pupil of “The Doc”. at Br Campbell’s funeral.

Many of the activities in the RE Immersion are outside the “comfort zone” of many students: dealing with the elderly, dealing with the homeless poor, or dealing with interpersonal relationships in “Street Retreats”.

So enjoying basketball with Milpera State High students is easy, though most of them are refugees with dreadful stories to tell of atrocities and neglect in their homeland. And sometimes their stories of what happened to them in Australia are also saddening.

welve students from Year 10 and three teachers from St Joseph’s College travelled to East Timor as part of a twinning relationship between Terrace and St Magdalena’s Canossian School in Dili and Communidade Edmund Rice in Railaco.

In building relationship the achievements of the three weeks were: • Challenging staff and students to build relationship with the people of East Timor and to provide them with the opportunity to work with and learn from the poor and marginalised.

• Educating students abouit the causes of poverty, injustice and war and to create links of solidarity in trying to serve and for a more just and humane world; • Reflecting upon and analysing the economic, social, political, religious, cultural, educational and environmental conditions facing the East Timorese people; • Integrating insights gained during the East Timor Immersion into their lives through group discussion, written reflection and future involvement.

Some of the highlights of the East Timor immersion included: Front Cover Photo • village “festas” to welcome us as guests; Gregory Terrace students, from left: • “home stay” experiences; Matthew Hasking (10B) Damian Danaher (10W) • the visit to the Australian Embassy in contrast to the Joshua Richards ((10R) visit to the “Palace of Ashes” [Photo top right]; Matthew Sorensen (10T) • the Comoro and Tais markets; • the Truth and Reconciliation Commission; TWO FROM BALIDE (At left) Alex Turnbull with two of the children • the Santa Cruz Cemetery. from Balide Convent, • children of St Magdalenas and Balide Convent;

In conjunction with the Queensland University of Technology and “Australian Business Week”, the students spent approximately three weeks at QUT Campus, attending lectures and running fictitious 200-bed hotels. The exercise involved each student fulfilling a role from General Manager to Concierge.

The final presentation was held at the Brisbane Convention Centre and incorporated a hotel display, delivery of company reports and allocation of prizes.

Students, parents and grandparents attended a wonderful finale to the unit.

GTOBA PRESIDENT, DOM KATTER, WAS THERE!

O

ne of the guests was Br Paul Hannigan who was a teacher of Grades 3 and 4 at Terrace from 1944 to 1949. He gave a moving and humorous insight into his time at Terrace with Brs O’Donnell (RIP) and Miller (RIP) who had both been at Melbourne Dinners. He told how Terrace had had a lifelong impact on him. He said Grace and returned to sit next to Tom Sweeney who started at Terrace the same day as he did - just about 61 years ago!

The MC for the night (by default through another’s illness!) was Merv Kiley - who also took the pictures on this page and on the Terrace web - who also spoke movingly of his time at Terrace. And so did Craig Pandy who said that Terrace had profoundly affected his life and he gave some examples. For Merv’s photos, go to <www.terrace.qld.edu.au/events/oldboysdinner2004> Next came Mr Peter Chapman the Principal. “He spoke like a man on a mission and in a hurry. His dedication and vision were infectious.

He thanked the attendees, especially the guests and the organisers, and pledged his support for all reunions.”

Dom Katter gave an enthusiastic account of GTOBA activities including their support of College exchanges with Chaminade in St Louis and now also with Moeller College in Cincinnati.. John Benson proposed the vote of thanks and said how good it was a have “a real live Brother who had taught at Terrace”! He also congratulated Mr Chapman on the continuing success of the school and for his dedication to the task. Finally the School Song was led by Tom Sweeney with full Wallaby gusto!

As Mr Chapman wrote: I was privileged to attend the Melbourne Terrace Old Boys Dinner at the Victoria Club which has been held annually since 1997....What really strikes me is the genuine interest our Old Boys have in the current operations and the life of the College and their desire to come together to celebrate what was significant in their years of schooling.

Visitors from Moeller High School School, Cincinnati WELCOME TO TERRACE! Mr Chapman welcomes: Mr Neal Ryan Br Ron Luksic and Mr Ed Jamieson.

These teachers from the Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, USA, are welcomed to the College.

Mr Peter Chapman has been invited to Cincinnati to work with staff and students there to help them establish the House System into their College set-up.

This is planned to happen before Christmas and they hope to trial the new House System in 2005.

Born 22nd March 1940 Entered Eternal Life 3rd February, 2003

t the College Assembly in the last week of October Mr James Mahoney’s bequest was celebrated. The College welcomed the members of the extended Mahoney Family and friends.

Part of the bequest was used to purchase a new “Eddies’ Van”. The bequest will also be used by the Foundation Board to further advance future capital developments which Mr Chapman hopes to announce in the not too distant future.

James Mahoney was an academic who was very interested in his old school. We were struck by his humility, his presence and we are humbled by his generosity.

FACES IN THE CROWD! We found these Year 11 students from Terrace: Tim Wilson (11K) Karl Frizzell (11K) Doug Higginson (11K) Chris George (11M) Emerson Diaz (11W)

T

he Semi-Formal was held at Fridays on Monday 11 October and all seems to have been very successful. Because it was a schoolday students were asked to make sure they were in time the next day!

The organisation was done by Mrs Kathy Wilson and Miss Jane Carr and was excellent. Many parents also showed their support for the College.

Mr Connolly’s hope and trust as the Dean of Students that it would be a very enjoyable night seems to have been the case - and the photos seem to suggest that it was a “night of nights!”

T

errace Rowing welcomed the “Gordon Galt” into its fleet when the new Eight was christened recently in a ceremony at the Br C. L. Dillon Boat Shed.

The “Galt” name has been part of the Terrace Rowing family since the early 1960’s with “Gordon” being a key figure in the shed supporting his two sons, Gordon Junior and Geoffrey.

Geoffrey Galt coached the First VIII in 1977 and today continues his long association with Terrace Rowing as a Mentor Coach in the Under 15 Age Division.

Terrace Rowing is proud to have the First VIII of 2005 row in the “Gordon Galt”.

S

ome great results for Terrace!

Over the GPS season, Terrace won 106 of the 124 games played in GPS and supplementary games.

Seven GT teams finished the season undefeated and six teams had only one loss.

T

he First V Basketball team won Terrace its third GPS Basketball Premiership.

The departing Seniors achieved success since they first hit the court in Year 8. Team Captain, Matthew Roberts, deservedly won the Best and Fairest Award for 2004. Daniel McGuiness won the Team Man Award for his selfless role. Alex Duffy was awarded the Most Improved Player prize and after Matt Roberts was Terrace’s most consistent performer.

Opposition teams knew that Mark Baruksopulo was a key to to our success on the court whenever he was able to break free and display his considerable talent. Andrew Stephenson’s ability to penetrate the opposition defence and create opportunities for his teammates was a major factor in the team’s success. The perimeter shooting of Michael Baartz, the interior presence of Andrew Young, the quickness of Paul Norris and rebounding of Sam Merson meant that when Terrace players went to their bench the team lost no momentum out on the court. And our “rookies” gained valuable experience!
