COLLEGE PRINCIPAL’S PAGE

elcome to this edition of the Terracian. Given the frenetic busyness of schools terms, I suppose it is only natural that some may tend to live from one school holiday to the next. Teachers live in anticipation of the vacations, while parents enjoy the prospect of school returning to term time. Nonetheless, if we are not careful we could spend our time wishing our lives away, concentrating on the bookends of past and future and neglecting the rich present stacked between them.

One of those rich examples stacked between the bookends of the past and future occurred during this term when we honoured the sixteen Terrace Rhode Scholars with the opening two magnificent cabinets outside the College Library, that feature a photographic display and biographical details of Terrace’s sixteen Rhodes Scholars. This new foyer of the Brother Campbell Library was generously donated and opened by Mr Ric Sivyer (GT 1971). On this occasion Mr Michael Wilson (GT1964-70 and 1976 Rhodes Scholar) representing the Rhode Scholars addressed the College Assembly in a speech that is reflective of the Terrace culture characterized by a sense of contemporary spirituality, scholarship, an understanding of social justice, leadership, sporting and cultural participation.

“The Rhodes Scholarships were founded by the South African entrepreneur, Cecil Rhodes, 101 years ago. In his will he left his fortune of around $3 million pounds, possibly over a billion dollars in today’s money, to establish a scholarship scheme so that young men from around the world could come together in Oxford in England to study and, through their interaction, learn from each other, then, on returning to their homes, work to make the world a better place.

Edmund Rice and Cecil Rhodes, although both men of the mid to late nineteenth century, did not have a lot in common: Edmund Rice gave away his wealth to work with the poor and disadvantaged. Cecil Rhodes used the labour of the poor to build his wealth.

Edmund Rice fought for social justice. Cecil Rhodes exploited the position of black Africans.

Edmund Rice spread a message of compassion and cooperation. Cecil Rhodes started a war to enhance his company’s profits.

However, what Edmund Rice and Cecil Rhodes did have in common was their view of what turned a young man into a good citizen. You see it in the values of Edmund Rice and reflected in the Christian Brothers Schools but I think Cecil Rhodes said it just as well in his will: scholastic achievement is essential, followed by compassion for the poor and a sense of social justice, leadership and public service and physical vigour such as participation in sports.

On these four bases of scholarship, social justice, leadership and sporting participation by which Rhodes Scholars are selected, Terrace, long before the Rhodes Scholarships were started, built its foundation.

I have spoken with the Rhodes Scholars unable to be here today and all are humbled by the tribute Mr. Ric Sivyer and Terrace have made to the Scholarship at the school. We individually do not deserve any tribute because we have been honoured by Terrace over the years far more than our achievements warrant.

But today reminds us of the role Terrace has played in the Rhodes Scholarships in Queensland of which it has good reason to be proud. Of its 16 Rhodes Scholars, IN FRONT OF THE NEW LIBRARY DISPLAY CABINET Mr Chapman (Principal), Mr Michael Wilson (1976 Rhodes Terrace, with fewer than one per cent of the State’s school students, Andrew Stephenson (School Captain), Mr Liam Kelly has produced ten of them in the past 30 years or one every three years on average. Scholar), (1989 Rhodes Scholar), Mr Ric Sivyer (GT 1965-71) This is a remarkable achievement. On these averages there is every chance that there are at least three or more of you here at assembly today who will follow in the tradition and I wish you well.

People often ask why Terrace is so successful and it is difficult to be precise. On reflection, it is possibly because the Terrace values through the Edmund Rice tradition of academic achievement, spirituality, compassion for the poor, leadership, cultural and sporting participation reflect those sought in Rhodes Scholars.

Thanks must go firstly to Mr. Ric Sivyer for his benefaction. Ric approached the school with the idea of a project that could inspire Terrace’s young men. After some discussion the concept of the display case was developed. Let us hope that Ric’s generosity can inspire other Terrace old boys to assist the school in its endeavours.

If the display case leads even one Terrace man on to trying a little harder to build the Edmund Rice values into himself, trying harder for academic success at whatever level and building a character based on awareness on his personality and a dream of what he might achieve in the future, then the hard work will have been all worthwhile.

The Terracian Terrace as an educational community of nearly 130 years of operation has had a great Series III, Vol 11, No 3 tradition of academic scholarship. As we continue into the future I remember the great Australian SEPTEMBER, 2004 Rugby Captain, Nick Farr-Jones, commenting once that when he first began playing with the ISSN 1320 - 2405 Wallabies, they did not win many matches. The reason, he said, was that the team “focused on Published by St Joseph’s College, the scoreboard and not on the process.” In other words, they were preoccupied with their and Gregory Terrace, BRISBANE, 4000. their opponents score lines, and had lost sight of all the ingredients of their play that might Terrace Website: achieve and even improve on those scores. Those people with a “bottom line” or scoreboard http://www.terrace.qld.edu.au mentality will always have a narrow and distorted view of success. Ironically, in neglecting Editors: Br Fergus Gagen (Archives), the process they will also be deprived of much success too.

TERRACE CADETS IN 1943

SIXTY YEAR REUNION

his photo began its life in 1943 and believe it or not, it was taken at the Marchant Park Army Camp at Chermside in 1943. The Terrace Cadet Unit was using it for their Annual Camp. Those hardenedlooking young soldiers were in Sub-Senior (Year 11) at Terrace.

Four of them were at the 1944 Reunion at Terrace in July 2004 and one (J. Quinlan, AIF) was killed with the Australian forces in Korea RIP. The photo is not all that clear, but it gives an insight into the life of Terrace boys during the 1939-1945 War.

TERRACE RHODES SCHOLARS AND THE LIBRARY FOYER

T

he sixteen Terrace Rhodes Scholars were honoured recently with the opening of the new library foyer which incorporates two fine cabinets that feature a photographic display and biographical data. The new foyer area to the Library was generously donated and opened by Old Boy, Mr Rick Sivyer, a graduate from the class of 1971. [See photo at right with Mr Chapman.] Mr Sivyer’s wife, Dr Paula Sivyer and their son Jonathan (GT 1990-97) were also present.

Since the first Rhodes Scholar, Professor Mahoney, achieved his success in 1929, there have been fifteen other Rhodes Scholars from Terrace. Such an impressive list makes it clear to every student of the College that for him to become a Rhodes Scholar is not an impossible dream. - and that these “men of Terrace” are examples of excellence in the pursuit of study, sport, culture, character development and community building. We are grateful for the presence of Mr Michael Wilson (1976 Rhodes Scholar) and his family, Mr Liam Kelly (1982 College Captain and 1989 Rhodes Scholas) along with the 32nd Headmaster of the College Br Tony White (1982-1989).

At the College Assembly, Mr Michael Wilson spoke on behalf of the Rhodes Scholars. He spoke of the display, “Then the hard work started, led by College Librarian Mrs Maureen Twomey, to organise the project and my wife, Cheryl-Ann Wilson, who took on the task of convincing naturally humble and reticent scholars to put into print what the Scholarship and Terrace meant to them and what part it played in their lives. Then came the work of processing photographs and assembling a visual dispay to entice Terrace’s young men to come and take a look. Thank you to all who contributed and the end result is a tribute to your efforts.” [More from Mr Wilson’s speech can be found opposite.]

AS THE 1938 STUDENTS SAW IT From the June 21,1938, issue of the Terrace Quarterly Review: And now we come to the present year. We find that there are 395 pupils in attendance and the College authorities, being faced with the necessity of providing suitable accommodation, have commenced additions to the existing laboratory block, which involve the erection of five extra class rooms.

“During the last two months we have watched with interest and expectancy the development of our new building. The laboratory block is being lengthened by the addition of one room and a third storey is also being built. The work is going on apace. A really remarkable engineering achievement is the lifting (by means of jacks) of the roof of the science rooms. This lifting process is now completed and brick walls are rapidly rising in support. Although the building, as yet, is only a skeleton it can be imagined how imposing the finished structure will be and how large, airy and well-lighted will be the rooms.”

[Present-day students might remember a few years ago how they watched the building of the Chapel and the new classroom block. Their predecessors of seventy years ago before World War II admired the growth of the (to us) much smaller additions to what is now the Tuck Shop ST JOSEPH’S COLLEGE IN 1917 building. Or how students in 1975 watched the This shows the “new additions” of 1918 just about ready for opening. Some scaffolding remains. rise of the Library and Campbell Centre The 1908 Handball Court can be seen protruding behind the new building. The old Brothers’ building; or how the 1995 students watched House (now the Treacy Centre) lacks a top verandah. College Hall steps are as they were then. building all over the College during the expansion of GT120.]

“When finished there will be nine classrooms, two of which will be science laboratories. Thus all classes from Sub-Junior [In 2004 we would say Year 8] up will be accommodated in the new building.

“A provisional opening date has been fixed for July 24, 1938. All are cordially invited to the ceremony. His Grace, Archbishop Duhig, will preside.”

errace students and Milpera students shared many activities as the problems met by migrants were considered in many aspects. On the last day of their time at Milpera both groups travelled to the Gold Coast for the day. The Gold Coast City Council kindly provided Evansdale Park for the students to share a BBQ and games before visiting Broadbeach for a swim. The photo middle below shows six of the Terrace visitors getting together in the park during the excursion.

edmond Lawrence Quinn began his education at Yeronga State School, “under the guidance of the famous Mahoney clan”, before moving to St Joseph’s College, Gregory Terrace, where he began a longstanding relationship as a student and member of the College’s Old Boys Association.

In his final year at Terrace, 1936, he was elected School Captain and was Dux of the College. He wrote, “I was not especially bright or industrious (too much sport!), but managed to scrape in and win an Open Scholarship to Queensland University in 1936, thanks to good CB tuition” which enabled him to study Medicine in the newly established Queensland Medical LAUNCHING “GENTLEMEN OF TERRACE”, 2000 School.

At the Old Boys’ Dinner, Redmond Quinn (right) was the oldest present. He is with Jim Lawson, (1946-55)

The March 2004 issue o f The Terracian spoke of his time at the University and his success in the University Cricket team and also mentioned his service with the Australian Medical Corps from 1944 to 1947. After the War he went back to the Uni and studied Pathology. He joined Dr George Taylor in his private practice in 1955 and eventually became full-time director of pathology at the Mater Hospital in 1963. He moved to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in 1969 where he became the director of anatomical pathology. Here he soon became internationally recognised for his involvement in melanoma and cancer research.

He had met Rosemary Byrne and they married in June 1949 and they raised eight children.

At the end of his outline of ideas for his eulogy Photo: Courier-Mail REDMOND QUINN he was always As we knew him in his middle years. well organised! that he had written, “Some day, someone should write a similar document for Rosemary. That should be easy. She lived a life of perfection.” And “the absolute highlight of my life was marrying Rosemary Byrne living together with her for fifty years or more and bringing up our wonderful, exciting large and most supportive family and more recently the priviDiana Erceg, Niece lege of having grandchildren.” To his great sorrow Rosemary died in April this year. They are survived by their eight children and eight grandchildren.

r Frank Lonergan attended Gregory Ter race in 1939-1940, following his father, Francis James Lonergan, who was at Terrace in 1897. He commenced his medical studies at UQ in 1950 as a mature-age student when he realised he had more to offer as a Doctor that as a clerk.

In 1956 he married Edna Erceg, a nursing sister from the Royal Brisbane Hospital in a ceremony in Innisfail in northern Queensland and in 1963 travelled to London to commence specialist studies at the Royal College of Surgeons. He returned to Brisbane in 1964 where he commenced his private practice at Wickham Terrace and continued until his retirement in 1993.

He was always eager to learn and had a penchant for dates and places in history with an equally impressive memory that most people would envy.

His dream of visiting the Holy Land came to fruition in 2000, when he and Edna travelled to Israel as part of the Catholic Harvest Pilgrimage tour. During this time a documentary called Holy Rollers was made and was screened on SBS, featuring Frank.

His hobbies included rifle shooting and farming.He will be sadly missed by his family and friends.

SOCCER FIRST XI WINS THE UHLSPORT CUP

he GPS season for the First XI Soccer team was a mixed bag of four wins and four losses with eleven goals for and twelve against. The season finished with good wins against ACGS and Nudgee.

However after a rather slow start the story of the team in the Uhlsport Cup ended on a high - a fantastic 1-0 victory in the Final against the very strong Ipswich Grammar.

CROSSCOUNTRY, 2004: TERRACE TO THE FOUR!!

O

n 7 August 2004 Terrace had 81 athletes, five coaches, countless parents and supporters as well as many staff members attending. The team tried not to let the pressure of ‘winning 4 in a row’ get in the way of the task at hand.

Our U13s came fifth in a very close field. The U14s were fourth once again in a very close age group. The task ahead against Ipswich and Nudgee was huge. The U15s task was a long shot against Ipswich who had never been beaten. The U15s were led in by GPS winner Tim Beckman. All the boys ran above their best in a brilliant display of spirit and determination to regain the Jack Ross Trophy, only to find out they had only just been pipped by Ipswich by the narrowest of margins. Terrace now trailed by an almost impossible 9 point gap to Ipswich.

Our U16s were also facing the problem that Ipswich had won this age group last year. Nevertheless the Terrace 16s outran them placing second with last year’s champions sixth. The gap of 5 points would only be gained if our unbeaten Opens won and Ipswich’s Opens fell back to fifth and the rest as they say is history. Our Opens ran with the talent and pride that they have shown in their undefeated half a decade at the College.

The success of this team is also due to a number of other people as well. Our Junior School coaches Mrs Anna Klar, Mr John Hawthorne and also Mr Kevin Crisp at Nudgee Junior, and our GPS coaches Mr John Hinch, Mr Ray Celegato, Mr Luke Robba and Mr David Moran.

Of course students need to get up early on all those cold, dark mornings and so do their parents. Our parents are a major part of this team from their encouragement at home to making the flags that looked so great.

I would also like to thank the members of the TerRun Support Committee and their president Mr Jeff Redshaw. To the Vice Captains Alastair McSweeney and Jackson Darby and our Captain Alex Redshaw, congratulations on leading your team along with the other Open runners. Every boy who competed in a Red and Black singlet can be extremely proud of his effort. I certainly am. Terrace to the Four!!
