message • • .

This year at Manurewa High School for the first time roll numbers dropped slightly from the peak reached in 1986 of 1507 pupils. 1987 saw the year start off with 1487 pupils, a slight drop but nevertheless one which had been predicted as the drop in rolls experienced in the Primary and Intermediate Schools flowed on to the Secondary Schools. The roll prediction for 1988 places the school roll at approximately 1480 pupils.

Buildings have kept pace with developments over the years and either have reflected our roll growth, the increasing complexity of ther curriculum or have upgraded the existing facilities. Two cebus units have been built over recent years to keep pace with the roll growth. The R block which houses the Art Rooms and the Accounting/economics cebus block. Also a new Science laboratory has been installed in room G3. The increasing complexity of the curriculum is reflected in the extensions of the Gymnasium which now provides excellent faciltites for our gymnasts, dance groups and other activities. The drama room and video filming suite, the horticulture unit and the extensions to the library have been recent additions. Major upgradings have included the Technical Drawing rooms T6 and T7 and rooms B7 and B8 for electronic typewriters.

Future building growth includes the conversion of the Pavilion to a large conference room complex with additional changing rooms and facilities. Work should commence on this shortly. The facilities that now exist at Manurewa High School are certainly among the best that one would find in any State Secondary School in New Zealand_ The environment, and care of this reflects the high level of concern shown by staff and pupils for their school.

This year saw the departure of a number of long serving Staff members. At the end of Term 1 Mr Graham Falla, Deputy Principal and Miss Rogan Overton, Teacher Librarian, resigned from their positions. At the end of year Mrs M Atchison, Deputy Principal, Mr I Wiseman, Geography and Social Studies teacher and Mr G. Humphries, Head of Physical Education leave the school for well deserved retirements. Their combined wisdom and experience will be sorely missed and difficult to replace. I also thank the rest of the staff for their concern and interest throughout the year. Your efforts have been appreciated.

Our pupils throughout the year have continued to achieve in the academic area and in sports and cultural activities. To mark their achievement we have instituted this year a system of awards which are keenly sought after and provide an incentive for our outstanding achievers and students who have shown loyal committment towards their team and their school. The involvement of senior pupils in our service groups and councils has been particularly high and one which has insured the smooth and successful running of our school.

I thank you all for your involvement and contribution.

Education has now unfortunately become a political issue. Parents would have involved themselves over the past few years in the curriculum review. We now have to face further reviews of education whether it is the task force looking into education administration or various other bodies involved in education.

Zoning, curriculum, assessment, accountability will be heard more and more and I urge parents to become involved and to make sure that your views and expectations are taken into account.

I wish to thank all the groups who have supported the school so ably throughout the year. The Board of Governors for their wisdom, advice and guidance, the Parent Teachers Association for their support and valuable input. The teaching staff so ably led by the Associate Principal Mr. Kidd, together with the Administration and Ancillary Staff have combined as a great team to ensure a very successful yuear. To all those staff and pupils leaving I thank you for your contribution while you were with us and I wish you every success in the future.

Yours sincerely

Prevention of Animal Cruelty It happens Everyday Every year,

and nobody cares.

Why should they, their lives are happy and they want to keep on being happy.

Day after day another heartbeat stops.

No! not a human's heart - an animal's heart.

In fact up to 40,000 a day die, because humans want to experiment, but oh no not on themselves.

They watch an animal's life drain out of its body, then go home and have tea.

The animals are caught and taken to laboratories, cosmetics stuffed down their throats, scissors up noses, steel devices up through their heads.

Until they die.

A monkey was caught and tied to a chain.

He felt the burning pain as the steel device was implanted in his head.

Straining to free himself from the metal clips which held his head, hands and face in place, he was overwhelmed with pain and confusion. He awaited, for days. The continued searing pain caused him to almost lose consciousness. But relief would not come. Through eyes that could barely focus he watched the men come and go.

Sunset at Sea - A sonnet

This is torture and where are the police? Oh I

A breeze blows, gently tousling pink tipped grass, Painted by an artist with a ball of fire.

The orange sea undulates and rolls in slumber

forgot, they only go to human murders.

When animals die those cruel testers go on living.

As for the animals - they never see love again.

I'm prepared to give up my life for an animal any animal.

Can't we ever stop it - does anybody apart from me want to?

To creep stealithly up the sand washing clean the sea's doorstep.

Birds flow through the colour-splashed sky and dip to catch their fill of glittering fish.

As the day nears its end the fire ball sinks slowly into the horning cauldrw

THE HOLE IN THE WALL I wonder what is hidden In that hole in the wall Is it a creepy-crawly Or is there nothing there at all I daren't look right down it For fear of what I'll see I am not scared of little spiders It's everything else that scares me!

And even if I look down There is no guarantee That it will be light enough For me to see.

Not that I really want to . . . .

I just couldn't even peep But I'll turn away and close my eyes And hopefully go to sleep.

Morning Morning on the school driveway. The air is still, cold and crisp. The surroundings are fresh with moistness, but the bare trees scar the picture. The fallen leaves are wet and muddy, the trees are dripping from the previous night's rain.

The birds would have been up and awake for a while now, but they are still singing, chirping and flying quite merrily.

The bikes. Cold steel, chrome and black, rubbery wheels that are all wet. Sitting in the dark miserable weather, they must get lonely sitting there all day.

We've moved in amongst the buldings. With no children running to and fro it looks just like a maze of vertical metal poles. Brown, grey and cream colours everywhere. There are kids yelling out the windows at us. They've gone now.

The flowers at the bottom of C Block are a part of a 'fragrant environment' for the blind. The smell is thick and sweet.

Well, we're on the stairs leading up to D Block, past the doors, (one nearly got me). Back at last in D5.

David Le Mesurier

impressions - Clear Morning I woke up that morning listening to the joyful sound of sparrows and other birds twittering about, to themselves or each other. The grass and trees looked fresh and clean, with morning dew formed all over them.

The long shadows added to the beautiful scene, draping black curtains over trees, grass and man-made structures. The moon was still up while the sun's rays were starting to hit the ground making more liveliness everywhere.

The crisp coolness of the air made people get up to enjoy the early morning, and have a wonderful fresh start to the lovely day.

A jumbo jet flew across overhead disturbing the peace on the ground below. Also, on a nearby road, a truck or van whizzed past,making a few small animals scatter across the ground.

If you didn't hear these sounds, sometimes you might think man hasn't yet discovered technology, as every thing is so peaceful and quiet Janice Morgan 3BG

One Afternoon San shines brightly, Sky vivid blue.

Technicoloured leaves droop from their branches, Like tears rolling down a sad, unhappy cheek.

Crickets drone, breaking the silence, Harmonising nearby lawnmowers at work.

6

Vivid blue sky fades slowly, bit by bit, Sun settles heavily in the distance Wilted hanging leaves can no longer hold on And float lightly to the ground.

Forming a thick, damp technicoloured carpet Over bald, barren ground.

Crickets continue their chatter - just as loud, just as loud, Conversing with milkman's beacons and cold, clanging bottles While the sickening stench of smoke settles in the air.

MR FALLA The school was sorry to lose the services of Mr R G R Falla at the end of the first term.

Mr Falla had had such a long and valued service at Manurewa High since he joined thes staff in 1964. As head of the English Department from 1969 to 1974 he ensured his staff developed realistic programmes to suit the needs of a large secondary school.

His later appointments as Senior Master and acting Deputy Principal ilustrated his extremely efficient, resourceful and responsible nature.

An outstanding administrator he was meticulous and confident in all specialist duties. His forthright, positive and honest nature was welcomed by all staff and a generation of students. He showed leadership in developing the school environment and his fervour for music helped mould the school orchestra.

A scholar and a gentleman, he always set and expected high standards. The staff will miss its most courteous, sincere and diligent colleague who showed such integrity and sense of professionalism.

We wish him well in his new appintments in education.

"Act well thy part For there all honour lies" 'Hamlet', Shakespeare.

What we call the beginning is often the end And to make an end is to make a beginning, The end is where we start from.

T. S. Eliot

A Tribute to Mrs Muriel Atchison - Teacher, Colleague and Friend To many pupils, unfortunately, Mrs Atchison will be recognised only as the person with the unattractive task of checking off candidates for after-school detention in A block. Candidates for School Certificate, though, have reason to grateful for the hours she spends administering their applications, fees, admission-slips, liaison with Supervisors and processing results. All senior students appreciate her help with arrangements for 'The Ball', photographs, Blood Bank, Poppy Sales for the R.S.A. as well as the important occasions in the school year such as ANZAC Service and Prizegiving Ceremony.

With History and Social Studies as her main teaching subjects, Mrs Atchison has encouraged her pupils to deepen their understanding of current affairs and persevere in studying History and Geography.

S.C. History results have been consistently high in recent years, a credit to the confidence and skill candidates have gained from their teacher's personal interest in their progress.

Staff will take a while to become accustomed to the Administration wing of the school being without her as Deputy Principal. From her arrival as Senior Mistress in February 1974 , Mrs Atchison has been the constant link from the days of foundation Principal, Mr Maich; his successor, Mr Colin Browne; into the years of expansion with Mr Thomson at the helm.

As the school has grown and administrative duties have become more demanding and complex, the Senior Master/Mistress role had

graduated to Deputy Principal. Indeed, during the term when Mr Thomson served as Inspector in the Education Department, Mrs Atchison assisted Mr Kidd as Associate Principal.

Having to meet the challenges head-on in this way has not been new. Being left a widow with two school-age sons and a daughter, she returned to leaching at Papakura High School. Her early years in the service had been spent out of Auckland, in Wanganui, with qualifications gained at Auckland Girls' Grammar, Auckland University and Teachers' College. In recent years, travel overseas has brought her into direct contact with places so important in her specialist subjects.

To each area of responsibility, Mrs Atchison has brought valuable insights and judgement. Staff, relieving teachers, Teachers' College students and parents have sought her counsel, always finding sympathetic help with decisions or solutions to problems. In such matters as liaison with the Parent-Teachers' Association in altering school uniforms, she balances the opinions of all parties.

A number of functions and speeches will acknowledge still more contributions made to the life of the school. A well-deserved retirement awaits from January 1988. Yes, she'll see to the last duties attached to recording examination results.

Miss Overton Miss Overton first came to M.H.S. in 1961 as a pupil in the 3rd form. She became a prefect and a gifted member of the school orchestra playing the cello. Leaving at the end of her seventh form year she attended Auckland University and attained her B.A. in History. In 1971 she returned to M.H.S. to teach history, English and classical studies. Very quickly Miss Overton became involved once more with the orchestra and other areas of the school, namely Christian Fellowship, drama and tutor couselling.

In 1975 she became Teacher Librarian and under her dedicated guidance the library became a focal point for information and recreational reading. Over the past 16 years Miss Overton became a respected and well liked member of the staff, and is greatly missed by teacher and pupils alike. We wish her success and happiness in her new teaching position.

Chief P T I Humphries is relinquishing his helm. After 12 years as HOD of Physical Education he is retiring to his dinghy.

His abrupt manner, dry humour, 'bias' sportmanship at Teacher/ Pupil games and C2 are leaving. All that will remain for us is the memory of a 'song' filled Y'.

MR F. I. R. Wiseman 1987 saw the retirement of one of the school's longest serving teachers. Many pupils will remember Mr Wiseman for his skilful teaching and his quiet, well-organised classroom. Others will recall exciting geography field trips to the Volcanic Plateau. His special subject was geography, in which he held a Poisition of Responsibility for eleven years.

Drama was another of Mr Wiseman's areas of special interest.

Pupils now in their thirties will remember the enthusiasm and drive of his leadership in major productions.

Mr Wiseman's colleagues respected him for his professionalism and his firm discipline, but also enjoyed his warmth and sense of humour.

Mrs Dixon Appointed Deputy Principal Manurewa High School's new deputy principal is former guidance co-ordinator Elizabeth Dixon.

Mrs Dixon takes over from Mr G Falla who left the school to take up a position at Wesley College.

She joined Manurewa High School in 1975 as a staff member in the Learning Adjustment Department. Three years later she became guidance teacher - a position which involved counselling and teaching.

She was appointed guidance counsellor in 1982 and became coordinator in 1984 because of the growth of the guidance network at the school.

Mrs Dixon has become well known to many parents and agencies that assist the school because of her work in the guidance area.

As well as teaching Mrs Dixon completed a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Diploma in Education. She is continuing her studies with a Masterate in Education Administration.

As deputy principal Mrs Dixon sees her role as part of a team effort within the school; a team which will provide consistency and fiarness. She aims to involve all staff in matters concerning the welfare of students at the school.

Mrs Dixon believes the school has a vitally important role in the community and she intends to maintain a high profile as one of its leaders.

Mrs Chalmers Mrs Chaltrers leaves Mil S at the end of this year after eleven

years at school. She has been teaching in the Experience Unit, which she caniders an essential part of the school. This school's unit has good farilities, and helps students who go through it to cope with the life after school.

Mrs Chalners has enjoyed her contact with pupils, especially talking with students in the playground.

Her west namable mmrent was when a third former asked her to the school dance, and added with a straight faro "NOM don't veer anything punk!"

Impressions My First Impressions of Manurewa High School When I first stepped into this school, everyone looked at me as if I was a stranger in their town. I sat next to M block as I watched all the people walk past me. 1 saw one person from my class.

The second day was choice. I met three more people from my class. The third day was good because our class was laughing, and the teacher was laughing too. That was a sign of a good start of friendship.

Paul Amachi 3CH I didn't like the first week because I had to carry all my books and it was tiring. The canteen was crowded most of the time, but that was okay because we could stand there and talk.

The teachers were okay the first week, but then we began to be naughty, and then the teachers became grumpy and mad.

I like being a third 'tird' because if it wasn't for us there would be no school and if there was no school, no education.

Roberta Ratu 3CH My first impression was that I was bored. Everyone just sat around. Work is harder at high school too. The first week things got better. I made friends and got to know my teachers, and I was getting used to the uniform.

AManda Chalmers 3CH The fifth-form long-haired greasies loaf around and scrutinise you with their snakey eyes. Mr Thomson passes by, their socks leap up to attention. The chewing gum sticks, the tennis balls fly, the seniors repeat their pilgrimage around the place. So this is school.

The bell rings, the stairs kill your cold tendons, and you make it to roll-check. The day begins, periods one and two slowly walk by, and mercifully it's interval. Out with the tennis-ball, and away we go!

You see the fourth and fifth-form mob of heavy-metal fans with their graffiti-covered army bags and semi-hidden heavy-metal shirts. It amazed and amused me to see that each of them has a little lunchbox with wrapped up sandwiches and biscuits - the typical mothermade primary school lunch!

What have I thought of school so far? Well, for a start you get a lot of work, but not an overload. Most of the kids are either show-offs, trendy-wimps, untouchable toughs, or the normal friendly nerds.

Some people pay no attention to the rules eg chewing-gum, long hair, socks, etc. I even read in the Prospectus that hair had to be the natural colour, and non regulation gear would be confiscated. Isn't that right, Stephen Wrigley, of the orange-dyed hair, trenchcoat and red scarf?

So far, school has been bearable. Some of us complain about the teachers, but when you think about it, they are doing their job teaching. No one said they had to be liked, or like us, did they?

JOSHUA KALAN 3BG

Impressions of School School in the morning is noisy and energetic. There is not much communication and the atmosphere is tense.

In the second period, things slightly ease up with the school becoming warmer with no shivering or any signs of coldness. We begin to talk slightly more, but things are still tense with interval being more than welcome.

The large majority of the school walk around, with some more atheltic people bringing a tennis ball and bouncing it across the concrete by hitting it with their hands. This is generally what is known as handball. The Seniors have either their classrooms to stay in or their pavillion. Sometimes they come out, but after a while, go back to their coffee and milo.

The third period sees everybody freed up, working steadily, and talking generally.

Lunch is very much the same as interval, except you eat your food which you brought, or buy it at the canteen. It is warmer, and a lot of conversation.

Come the fourth period, people are bred from lunch, but still working and talking.

The fifth period is slogged out slowly, but with people really into the groove and working and talking steadily. It is a pleasant time of the day with school almost over.

Bring! Bell time. Everybody rushes to the gate, walks home, catches the bus or rides. It has just been another tiring day at school.

Richard Boyes 3BG

School in the Morning I drag my feet step by step as the distance between me and school becomes lesser with every step. As I arrive at school it hits me. The crisp winter morning.

As I look around me a blackbird is twittering high up above singing its happy morning song. The sun shines which is very unlikely for a winter morning. As I keep walkingi and observing I notice the silvery trunk of a silver birch and the sun casting shadows as it shines through a magnolia tree. Daphne smells sweet in the dewy morning air and up above an aeroplane soars high in the sky so blue.

Children start arriving and chattering like a bunch of busy chipmunks bustling about as everyone hurries to get into classes.

Then once again the school is settled and quiet. Late, tired and weary pupils straggle in late thinking up suitable excuses until the morning is almost over.

10

The morning has almost gone and now the beauty of nature has almost gone for another day.

SPEECHES On July 24, the competitors and supporters of Manurewa went to the Regional Speech Contest, which was held at Wesley College. The day began with a powhiri. The contest started at 10.00am. There were four sections, Sir Turi Carroll (Junior English), Rawhiti Ihaka (Junior Maori), Korimako (Senior English), and Pei te Hurinui Jones (Senior Maori). Quite a lot of people pulled out of both the Maori sections. Wesley had a lunch prepared for both contestants and supporters.

After lunch the contest continued. Twenty-two schools competed at the regionals from all over Auckland. The speeches in every section were of a very high standard.

THE LIBRARY 1987 has been a good year for the library, but for library users both pupils and teachers - main advantages lie in the future.

The library extension was begun in April this year and we are beginning to move into the new spaces. The project involved demolition of the northern wall, removal of the old workroom and the addition of a large, light general reading fiction area, enlarged office-workroom space and a new foyer with attractive outside paving.

Reorganisation of the library space will also include a new improved reference area.

Furniture has been selected and hopefully we will commence 1988 fully equipped.

Library reading material also received a boost from the proceeds of the walkathon in August, a donation from former principal Mr A Maich, as well as proceeds from school fees.

After a survey of present stock and needs, a purge of some old stock and a big shopping exercise took place. The result, when all the new books appear on the library shelves, is an updated, attractive library for both leisure reading and study purposes. Hopefully, 1988 will see a great deal more use of the library, more reading and research in the school.

Miss Rogan Overton; Teacher-Librarian of many years standing resigned in May. Her contribution has been greatly appreciated and she is missed by those she worked with. Her place was taken by Mr Rob Finlay. Special thanks to the Librarians Mrs B Price and Mrs K Miers, also new this year, to pupil librarians, volunteer helpers, and all who helped with leadership, donations, and support.

The speeches finished at approximately 3.00p.m. Then the results were announced. First place getters were: Sir Turi Carroll - Kane Milne Hato Petera College Korimako - Hayden Solamon Hato Petera College Rawhiti Ihaka - Tamehana Ngaropo Hato Petera College Pei te Hurinui Jones - Watson Ohia Saint Stephens College Our Manurewa contestants all spoke very well and we gained second and third places.

Te Roopu Maori

The Maori Club began the year on a high note with intensive rehearsals for the annual Secondary Schools' Polynesian festival. The festival was held this year at Tamaki College and our group entered the non competitive section. Our hard work paid off and our performance was a great succes..

Throughout the year we have practised regularly. Our major contribution has been in welcoming visiting groups to the school.

We have organised powhiri for groups such as Lord Byng High School, the Monte Vista Choir, and our School Inspectors. For us the highlight was probably the Lord Byng visit as we were involved in more ways than one. It was great to see the 1st XV boys turn up to practise with us, and then to be involved in the concert with the team and our visitors. Ka pal tou haka boys!

The group has been involved in two concerts in the community; the first at Papakura High School and the second at James Cook for the annual Manurewa Schools' Polynesian Festival. Events such as these are important but they mean much extra practice. We depend totally on outside help and this makes practice difficult at times. We are grateful for the help of parents and our tutors who give up their time to be with us. Next year we hope to see a large group of 3rd and 4th form members to give us a much needed new lease of life!

Kia ora koutou katoa.

WALKATHON '87 The season was changing again. Brown autumn leaves lay in the gutter on the side of the road. Flower buds were blooming on the branches of silent trees. It was slowly merging into spring.

We noticed the change. So did every other person, who, determinedly was walking the marathon. The suns radiant rays were hitting us blindly in our faces.

Forgetting sunglasses, a sun tan lotion bottle and a sun hat wasn't too smart. But we wearily trudged onwards.

After the first kilometre my new thick sweatshirt was clinging to my body. Sweat was mysteriously appearing on my forehead and under my arms, as I wished that I had listened to my mother's advice this morning. "Wear something else; thats too hot, you're not going on an Ice Expedition to the Antartic", she told me.

Soon, some enthusiasts started to make things more lively. Not letting other participants pass, chanting hysterical rhythms and thumping your feet on each others shadows were some of the "games" they played.

It was then, I found myself sprinting after two people who had managed to get past our "footpath block'.

Exhausted and out of breath the "joggers" just got by the first two checkpoints when they decided to retire and walk the rest of the way. Many pupils were tired out at this point. Some girls were leaning on each other to give moral support, others wiped the perspiration off their brows and rested their hands on their hips.

Suddenly, we saw the school - we had never been so pleased to see the hovering brick buildings and the flat green fields. We both ran down the road. (More like shuffle-stop-jog-shuffle). We passed many people with this last burst of energy, including the two people who passed us only one hour and 45 minutes before.

I threw my arms into the air in triumph as we sprinted into the school grounds. We both finished victoriously, coming second in our class.

WALKATHON "Wear comfortable shoes" is my only advice to give to people who intend to do next year's or whenever's walkathon. Don't think "oh gross, running shoes wont go with what I'm wearing" - wear them. Running shoes didn't go with what I decided to wear and all I ended up with was swollen feet accompanied with blisters. The walkathon is a way for our school to raise money for those "needy ti mes" which every one has. The whole school gets two whole hours (bliss) to go on a gruelling 10km walk (not so great) but accompanied with your walkman, friends and large bottles of drink, things don't seem all that bad. 10km can seem like 100km for those who want to make it boring and tiring, but for those who want to make it fun it is.

It's a chance to catch up on the latest gossip, listen to the latest music and even spot some of the few but well worthy "guys". So clean those running shoes it may be your chance to have some fun if you can wait until the 'next time'.

ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Another year has flashed by, but the Environmental Council's work - involving the beautification of the School - cannot go unnoticed.

The ever increasing number of people joining the Environmental Council represents a greater appreciation of our school environment.

The new members this year will appreciate how much work goes into keeping the school looking green and beautiful after taking part in the many working bees this year.

Our first working bee was in the beginning of March in which we cleared the gardens of all the summer weeds and this was followed up by a succession of other working bees involving the planting of many new shrubs and flower species, a painting bee, the placing of bar-b-que tables behind the canteen and more planting of trees for Arbour Day. It is with regret that we had to farewell long standing senior members of the Envioronmental Council - Mr Falla and Miss Overton. Their participation, advice and knowledge throughout their many years of service had been more than appreciated.

Without Mr Falla's continual advice about plants and Miss Overton's never ending supply of cakes and other goodies our working bees wouldn't be anywhere as successful as they were.

Their contribution to the Environmental Council and the school as a whole will certainly be missed. We wish them all the best in the future.

ARBOUR DAY 1987 This year the Form III students had a special role to play for Arbour Day. On Friday 5 June, students were asked to bring a donation for a tree which they would plant themselves. The Environmental Council bought the trees and shrubs and had a Saturday working bee to prepare selected sites for planting. On Thursday 26th June all Form III classes went outside (without rain!) and planted them. It is hoped it will be of special interest to them to see the trees and shrubs grow, during and after their stay at Manurewa High School. Many thanks to the students and staff of the council for organising this event.

South Auckland Horticultural Essay Competition Manurewa High School Form 5 horticulture students entered the competition this year successfully, with 3 students winning major prizes ($10 - $50). The essay topic was "Horticulture - New Zealand's Export Saviour". Those students successful were Emma Ritzema, Gerhard Haak and Craig Scrimgeour.

CULTURAL COUNCIL

KEY CLUB

A brief meeting ( which set the criteria for our 6 or so other contacts) was held at the beginning of the year - well April 1 (it was no joke) time has appeared to evade us in 1987.

The members of this year's Key Club tried their utmost to retun the club to its former glory. The Key Club is a prestigiou, organisation compiled of sixth and seventh form students win partake in community activities and attempt to help with the unit3 and smooth running of the school.

An election of officers took place with our elusive President, luckily having a brilliant support team of Katie Martin - Vice President and Tracey Ward as Secretary. In turn we were supported by a great team of both old and new members.

Our challenges for the year (what remained of it) were fairly minimal in comparison to previous years, although we tackled each new assignment with enthusiasm.

The Cultural Council played it's important traditional role in the organisation and promotion of the schools two major drama productions of 1987 - which included the placement of promotional posters throughout the community, ticket sales, and the ushering of guests to their seats. We were also responsible for refreshemnts at each interval.

Other activities included ticket sales for our ever successful annual fashion parade and the ushering of proud friends and parents to their seats for our yearly prize giving.

Thanks must go to our Supervisory Committee of Miss Gallot, Mrs Mulcahy and Mrs Taylor. Also thanks to each member who did actually partake in the tasks at hand throughout the year.

The team of 1988 will welcome each new member but it is with regret that we farewell those 7th and 6th formers who depart our company at the completion of 1987.

Katie Martin 7DN

Presented as opening obstacle we were informed that the Key Clut was to be abolished. Thanks to some fast action and some convincing talking by Mrs Oates and other supporting teachers we hurdled this problem.

At our inaugural meeting held one lunch hour in April, officer: were elected with Katie Martin as President and supported by Deidn Lamberton - Vice President, Sonya Booth - secretary and Warwici Wilson - treasurer.

Although 60 budding members listed their names these had to Ix trimmed down to allow the group to be one of prestige where only the best may be selected. However the hierachy kindly handled this for us - not content with the previous criteria set, demanded application forms from each member before the Key Club could continue. Once again we took this in our stride.

With the initial full support of the Kiwanis Association - our parent body, we thought we were finally on our way, and when Mr Lees volunteered his time and patience to act as our teacher representative things looked even better. Some brilliant ideas we followed up by preliminary work and presented for approval to th i heirarchy but were refused, much to our dismay, but we continued to persevere with other ideas.

The traditional Key Club third and fourth form classes, organise each term to provide unity between the lower school was swip e from us by prefects and sports teams who, realising the success the Key Club's effort in previous years, used the idea for their o fundraising activities.

Sports Council

Success was achieved however through providing refreshments for grateful staff and parents on interview evenings.

A dedicated group of 7th formers bound together by a common interest in sport (it sounds good anyway), formed this year's sports council.

A donation to the boys' First XI Hockey team to aid their funds fat the Christchurch tournament and the providing of the miniatures and cost of engraving for the Sports Council, for the annual Sportsman of the Year Dinner was greatly appreciated.

We braved cold, wet and icy winter mornings (at least some of us did) to meet and organise such events as the sports day with Matamata and the Sportsperson of the year dinner, which were (surprisingly) successful events.

The countcil would like to thank Mrs Cottell-Mayhew for her perseverance, organisation and patience (which were certainly tested); and a special thanks to Lachlan Marshall who always put in the extra effort when required.

The sports council has had a successful year and we wish next years sports council all the best.

Several gentleman from the Key Club provided the muscle power needed to shift props during the term two musical and the fashior parade was graced with services of ushers for this annual event.

We have also taken part in the annual collection for the SPCA. . few more collections were hoped for but due to other schoo commitments unfortunately were left unfulfilled.

Unfortunately due to our late start and many set backs this year our achievements are fewer than we hoped, however the Key Clul is well back on the track to becoming the prestigious and high') commended community group it once was.

Thanks must go to Mrs Oates and Mr Lees for their support am most of all to each member of this years Key Club who persevere( against all odds.

WINTER

Gary hit his hand off and said, "What do you mean 'am I alright', 'course I am, why shouldn't I be?"

It was Monday morning, Mark was in a foul mood, and grumbling, as he crossed the school crossing. He was blowing into his hands and putting his hands over his face when Gary ran up behind him.

"God, it's cold this morning," said Gary. "I couldn't get out of bed It was so cold".

"I know, Mum had to literally drag me out of bed 'cause I wouldn't get out of my own accord," replied Mark.

"I can't wait to get into form meeting," stated Gary.

"Well nobody wants to go to class", answered Mark.

"Well I do today 'cause the heaters will be blazing", replied Gary scornfully.

"Oh I see", said Mark dim-wittedly.

They both wandered up the drive and sat outside their form class.

They sat around with their friends talking about things like the movie from the night before and what brand of undies you wear when the start of school bell rang.

"God, I thought that the bell was never going to go", said Mark.

Mark lifted his hand and put it on Gary's forehead then said, "Are you alright?"

"C'mon", said Gary, "I'll race you up the stairs."

the year. Its cold and means

more warm clothes.

It will also see the start of winter sports. Rugby and League will be the main attractions with the Rugby World and Bledisloe Cups and the Rugby League test against Australia.

It will also bring a change in the weather and days. It becomes colder and gloomy during wet days and when it is a bit fine it doesn't last.

The grounds become muddy and wet and concrete becomes slippery. Trees and some plants loose leaves and buds and dew stays on the grass making it slippery and shiny.

Summer fashions are swapped for wool and warmth of long pants and jerseys.

But despite all the bad things, winter like all other seasons can still be fun.

Winter To me winter means cold rainy days, coming home to a raging fire and a nice warm drink of Milo, while I am listening to the rain-drops on the roof. And looking out the window at the puddles forming on the path and in the garden.

Then waking up to a cold, misty morning, cold air hitting my face as I walk to school with my hands in my pockets and my feet throbbing because of the chilliness. When I finally reach school, finding the heaters cold and staring out the window at the dull-grey sky, letting out a graon. I hope summer will come soon.

So I glance out the window again to see the sun coming out from behind a cloud knowing that winter is ending until it will strike again, next year.

Mathematics Projects As part of the students' assessment this year, form three and four mathematics students were asked to produce a project of creative design. There were no prizes, only the fact that the best work would be displayed in the Manurewa Public Library.

There were five categories from which the students chose. Design, which included fabric design, wallpaper, cushions, clothing and one class chose hats as their design subject. A mathematical idea or symbol had to be evident in the project. The second category was a poster, perhaps based around the ideas of "Maths for Me", or "Maths a Skill for Life". Research was the third topic and here students produced a mostly written project, perhaps on the life of a mathematician, such as Archimedes of Pythagoras. Or they could have chosen a statistical survey. This was a popular choice. Entrants delighted in interviewing their peers on such topics as "Best Advertisements" or "Driving Licence Age". Lastly came the invention of a new mathematical game, for use perhaps on a computer or an original board game.

From all projects presented, the teachers selected their best from each class and 96 pieces were displayed in the Manurewa Public Library at the beginning of June. The Librarians, who were most helpful, reported a lot of interest in the display. Each exhibit received a certificate of Merit from the school on being chosen for this display.

The best of these, were entered in the Auckland Mathex competition held in the Auckland Museum at the end of July. Lynne Weatherly's T shirt was second and Judy Ingley's stained glass was third, both in the Maths Art section. Both students attended the quiz night to proudly receive their prizes.

Both students and teachers enjoyed this new venture. The exhibits certainly created interest in the community. We look forward to a similar undertaking next year.

Outdoor Education FORM 6VK STALAG WAHARAU XIII We the surviving geographers of the sixth form take this opportunity to forwarn future geographers that physical geography field trops can be hazardous to human health especially when Mr Lees is cooking. In June, fifty or so able bodied and sound minded???? geographers accompanied by Messrs Bargh, VK, Lees and Commandant Briggs meandered aimlessly south to the alluvial lowlands of Waharau. The famous Lees lasagne made its infamous debut when it crawled out of the pot on Day One. It was never quite tamed throughout the camp. The days and nights were spent in a heavy slog through slimey cross-sections, mountainous hills, diabolical food, toothpaste in ears etc. During our stay we were graced with the presence of an intense anticyclone bringing fine, mild days. Oct day two Pickles decided chocolate cake would make a wonderful new generation mudpack and fashion accessory and so promptly climbed into the mixing bowl with Miss V Halley. Dallas 'Macho' Maihi throughout the camp concealed his brain under his hat but pouted and pranced to any who were willing to pay and perve. B Lochead was there!!! Adrienne and Mei-Lin studied hard!

They also wrote a thesis on the fluvial processes evident in the mighty Waihihi drainage basin. This time Commandant Briggs was unable to cremate the custard thanks to technical advice from 'welldone' Wendy. Kermit and his performing pot lids stirred us from slumber each morning at 6.00a.m.

The camp was an education in Lees cuisine and gourmet cooking in underdeveloped nations. The camp as usual was enjoyed by all who survived.

P.S. As the Staff of Stalag - Waharau XIII returned home to restore their shattered digestive systems and catch up on sleep, they reflected on the amazing contradictions among the inmates. How ' could fifty people of retarded mental ability be so devious and innovative in mischief? How could Geographers so late with their assignments be so prompt to the meal table? No answers to these questions were ever found.

Impressions o Camp Waharau Camp was enjoyable, exciting and not to mention, tiring. Every minute of the day we were either working, having tun, or eating.

There was no timetable that we had to stick to and we had a of of

free time to do our own thing.

The more enjoyable events were sailing, canoeing, tramping, orienteering and the confidence course. One particular activity that people dreaded was the morning run. The distance was entirely up to the prefect taking us and was approximately two to tour kilometres.

One major disappointment I encountered was the lack of grass which restricted a lot of games we would have otherwise enjoyed, and the stones and gravel were a bit hard on our feet.

During the harder challenges we had to face, e.g. the five hour hike and confidence course, the teachers wupervising us were really supportive and every once in a while thee would yell encouraging remarks which increased our progress rapidly.

1987 PREFECTS BALL

Prefects' Trip

This year we had a ball. It was good. The girls wore pretty dresses and the boys looked nice. There was a band that played music. It was good too. We danced. There was food there too. Everybody ate some. It was yummy. Jane won a prize. She looked extra pretty. Salu did too, but he just looked nice.Jackie and Steven danced first. The school copied them . . 'Copy cat, dirty rat .. .' We were really tired because it was late. We had heaps of fun, There were teachers there too.

The '87 prefects jetted to Rotorua on Silver, Trigger, and eight wheels, saddle bags loaded with supplies. We mosied on into the township at high noon. We stabled Trigger and Silver at the Devon corral. If the natives don't kill us, then the smell will. We unpacked and checked out the bunkhouse. Next we had a seminar from Billy the Kidd on punctuality, (five of us were late). After burning the beans we swaggered into Rotorua to find a saloon. The only action we found was what we made for ourselves. The street kids saw more than one moon that night. At sunrise the next morning we saddled up and headed for the white waters of the Rangitiki. The yellow bellies of the group stayed behind and piked. To recover from the hypothermia, we soaked in the spa pools for the next three hours back at the Motel.

TOPIC 14-0: The Williams Phenomenon Consider a physics teacher, T, moving with velocity, V, through a seventh form physics class, C. Given that T is proportional to the mean radius of Jupiter's third moon and velocity V is inversly proportional to the speed of a constipated Galapagos Island turtle, calculate the mean I.Q. of C (hint I.Q.-.0).

Such is the life of a seventh form physics student, confronted with an endless array of infinitely useless data designed to warp the minds of those who understand it.

It is worth noting that it is extremely helpful to have two or three scholarship candidates in your class. They will ensure all T's questions are answered, and to keep T happy. The devastating effects of a lack of scholarship students can be felt in 7 Phy 2, where T lives in constant disbelief of how little intelligence could be present in the room. Brett Reynolds managed to fill the position of scape goat quite adequately.

Sunrise on Sunday the troop once again saddled up and moved on. The long journey home was only broken by the haunting melodies of the lone harmonicist and ration stop at the world famous louge. The troop would like to thank Cow Hand Dixon, Billy the Kidd, Ned Kelly Thomson and Rustler Oates. May the rising sun always set in the west.

Steve and Jackie would like to thank the gang (prefects) for their co-operation and their enthusiasm throughout this year. It has been a very enjoyable year highlighted by the many goup activities, including the leadership seminars organized by Mrs Dixon, the Ball, and the trip and the white washing of the staff in many sports challenges.

Meanwhile, back on earth ............

T's unending battle to solve the mystery of the phantom graffiti artist continues. This is a battle with "the dark side" - creativity (shock! horror!) may the force be with you (but is this force gravitational, electrostatic, magnetic or spring?)

For all those intending seventh form physics students next year, the requirements are:1 Lack of individualism 2 Ability to laugh at corny jokes 3 A basic understanding of rugby.

LEADERSHIP SEMINAR On Thursday 12 March 1987 four intrepid explorers from Manurewa High, Debra, Stephen, Jacqui and myself went and attended a leadership conference at the Whatapaka Marae at Karaka.

It was a very eventful camp and seminar. It was geat getting to know all the different leaders in the Manukau area. There was about 110 people including teachers. We started the day off with a formal welcoming on the marae, several speeches and a few songs to finish it all off. Then all of us unexpecting leaders pressed noses with the people of the marae.

Soon after we began "icebrealdng" sessions where we all got to know each other and broke the silence and tenseness between each other. During the day we had plenty of food, beautiful tasty and scrumptious lunches, dinners and desert.

The evening we all talked in the meeting house about problen that our society and schools faced. We discussed them; threw ide, around and it was an absolutely brilliant feeling and atmosphere. lye finished at eleven, had something else to eat and went to bed.

During Thursday the Governor General visited and we talked to him for about two hours. We asked questions and interrogated him about his job, what he did and how he did it.

On Friday we began with a few more discussions, about leadership. They were about communication and assertiveness.

At 10.30 we welcomed Karen Poutasi, superintendent of Middlemore Hospital on the marae and we talked to her about hex job and life, which was also very enlightening.

Finally after the lunch we said our goodbyes which were sad and we left. All a bit better at leading but, mainly better at talking and getting our points across.

SEVENTH FORM CAMP A quiet, sensitive set of new individual recruits to the senior heirarchy, the seventh form, deposited themselves, blaring music and bags, into two of the most archaic buses extracted from retirement to serve us in our intrepid journey south of the Bombay hills. Time told, the particular bus bedazzled by my presence happened to break down; the strain was too exhausting for the once great oil digesting machine. Finally we hit Waharau. After adjusting ourselves to the semi-wilderness we undertook activities of canoeing, drama, confidence, positive thinking, group skills and mind puzzles. The most enjoyable and productive activity to me personally was the blind trail. These activities took up a large precentage of time; otherwise we were eating, talking, sleeping or acting the 'fool'; not to mention the thrilling morning run, in which we were dragged from our beds and thrust onto the cold hard stones to run, rain or shine.

We hopped onto our respective buses in our own respective times and headed back to Manurewa as a 'team' of young adults inspired and enthusiastic for the year ahead.

I would like to thank Mr Clarke, Mrs Dalton, Mrs Dixon, Mr Kidd, Mrs Oates, Mr Thomson and Mrs Weatherly for a most enjoyable camp.

7th Form Biology Camp On Sunday 12 April, a group of intrepid 7th form biologic discovered the joy of nature courtesy of the Piha Surf Club.

Sixth Form Biology Camp Wednesday 25th February, a group of eager sixth form biologists were taken away form civilization to venture out into a far distant place called Waharau - because this was where we were all expecting a holiday. HAlThat was a joke!

As soon as we stepped off the bus at Waharau, an enthusiastic biologist (Mrs Howard) quickly issued us with - WHAT! ASSIGNMENT - AND because the most unpopular seventh formers were still inhabiting our camp, we were made to start on the stream study straight away.

As nightfall came the raging started, need we say more?

Led by the awe inspiring Mrs Howard, the over enthusiastic Parlane and good old Rob, talents were discovered namely in tl forms of: — fantastic looking surfies in their skimpy speedos (much to tl delight of Mrs Howard and Andrew Clarke) — topless sunbathers - to the delight of Ashely, Russell and firm who discovered the joys of binoculars, — Richard and Jacqui's amazing canasta ability — Paul and Bruce's interesting human biological sand castle (ye detailed structure) — Richard and Andrew's primative intelligence utalising spaghe sticks.

The camp itself was quite unique. We were overjoyed to find sor resemblance of civilisation in the form of a well-worn pool tal minus felt, and a television which needed a human aerial. Hower other forms of amusement were found in sticking lasagne to t outer windows of the kitchen.

Crust covered pots and blanched stoves were courtesy of the Pi Surf Club but added to the flavour of the food, which was stored fridges that hadn't seen the light of day since the last biology care However thanks to the culinery skills of Katie and Sonya and t secret ingredients of black ants, the food was mildly acceptable. (our adult student) however preferred the unique taste of n peppers.

The morning soon approached us - when Mr Parlane ordered us out of bed for our daily run to the beach. Three-quarters asleep we stumbled and slopped down to the beach and back again, only to receive the ultimate punishment of camp food.

Early morning runs were cleverly evaded by disguising ourseh in our sleeping bags and a unisex bathroom with saltwater basi was a novel concept to us all. We even shared our showers wilt species different to our own - great humungous black spiders.

We carried on with the second stage of our stream assignment and in the afternoon we were ushered back down to the HOT ROCK BEACH.

However not all our camp was as boring as it seems. The joys completing an average of 53 pages of work (113 pages overall) most stimulating, and the collection of data for worksheets ev better. The joys of standing in ice cold streams in the pouring rai counting Zeplibia and other greeblies was indescribable.

As night was approaching, we were studying. As 9.00pm struck, we were jumping because study period had finished. This brought about hideous yells, screams, singing, flashing lights, opossum hunting and the daring midnight strolls throughout the camp.

Friday was here before we knew it and the survivors were returning back to civilization with exhaustion showing in the prominent bags under the eyes.

Thanks to Mrs Howard (the only person who didn't go for a jog!), Mr Parlane (water boatman) and Mr Hodgson (the Aussie with the six-pack] All in all it was a great camp.

The Homai Resource Room Manurewa High School 1987 has been a busy and satisfying year for the Homai Resource Room students. Supported by Mrs Wells and Mrs Farmer, and with Mrs Hamblyn as teachers' aide, the 20 students have been in classes from the third form through to the seventh form.

As usual only about half of the visually impaired students live locally in South Auckland. The other half come from different parts of New Zealand, including one student from Gore and two from Christchurch. As this is the only such secondary facility in the country, these students are choosing to board at Homai College and to take advantage of the academic support available at Manurewa High School. Many are involved in specialist lessons at Homai College in subjects such as music, typing, woodwork, braille and mobility.

Technology for the visually impaired has 'taken off' in the last few years and the Resource Room has become a centre for the latest in specialized computer equipment. To suplement the existing Apple computer system, on which blind students do word processing accessing the screen with a voice synthesizer, two further systems have been acquired in 1987. These are the Keynote, a compact portable computer with voice synthesizer which some senior As soon as my parents had left me at the camp, I suddenly though t students have used regularly in class, and a new IBM P.C. system.

This will be used as a word processor and also allow students to to myself, "Heck. All these corners. This camp is a maze with no access software for Computer Studies, Economics and Accounting. end. How will I possibly learn the way anywhere around this wilderness during the week?" I was both confused and bewildered.

The students have generally enjoyed a very productive year and The idea of coming to Handicamp at Green Bay Scout Camp to this would not have been possible without the support and hard integrate was not quite what it seemed. At this moment I was work of the Staff of Manurewa High School. Thank you to them all standing round like a zombi while people were chattering around me in all directions. It was definitely a place to trick you. Tom, the helper from the Homai Resource Room! in our cabin, was due at the camp at any time but when I came to our J. WELLS group room for the first time, there was absolutely no sign of him.

Homai Resource Room.

I first heard about Handicamp through John Apinall, English teacher at Pukekohe High School and a member of Tuakau Rotary Club. I was interested in applying for it and at the beginnning of February, I was told that my application had been accepted.

Handicamp Not Just an Ordinary Camp

Any reservations I may have had about this new camp were quickly squashed when I went on an excellent trip to the Mangere local marae. This, personally, was a valuable experience to me, because although I had been to many Maori concert parties before, I had never been through an entire Maori welcome held on a marae.

I was very impressed by the nose-rubbing custom. I had a hongi with most of the Maoris before going inside with the rest of our group.

The most important things I learnt on the marae were firstly the close relationshp between the Maoris and their environment, that is, the materials of the earth, and secondly the Maori openness in welcome, the actual Maori welcome. I had had an idea of this welcome through Ihimaera's story 'The Whale'. The idea of Maoris and their environment is shown in the significance of the nose-rubbing.

Visiting a marae wasn't the only interesting thing we did during that week. We also went to the riding school for disabled in Mangere. This school is very important because the therapeutic riding carried out there is tremendous value to those riding especially those with balance and speech problems. The riding helps people to get better balance techniques and it even goes as far as to "Oh mum", I whined, "that's my birthday weekend. 1 don't really improve speech in intellectually handicapped who find speech want to go any more." But it didn't work, I didn't really expect it difficult. would, but worth trying anyway.

There was also a visit to Heritage Park, a thought-provoking talk I was going camping, on the Sir Bemard Fergusson training camp. on AIDS, a debate in which the proposition was that youth is the In spite of my complaints I did enjoy it. Well, most of it. The first bit best part of your life and an excellent concert on the last night in was a trek into the wilderness outback of Papakura, over rough which each group performed an item. Our cabin performed a terrain, through dense bush we pushed our way towards our goal. contemporary item as well as me playing. The concert and many We reached the clearing about 40 minutes after leaving the bus. A other highlights were recorded during the week on video recorder couple of flat patches were cleared so we could pitch our tents. and we were fortunate enough to get to watch this video after the concert.

Then we split into two groups and while one went canoeing down the stream, we tried climbing over electric fences, across stepping I got immense value from this camp from meeting new people, stones, swinging on a rope over a terrifying chasm and climbing both Handicampers themselves and from Rotary exchange students three metre vertical walls. The purpose of these activities was not to on the camp who came from all types of countries and climates scare us into submission, but show us how to make use of other from three Scandanavian countries to Brazil. people's skills.

The Great Outdoors - I Love It

The next day was much more fun for me, it entailed trying a specially prepared confidence course and gliding across a river on a flying fox. In the afternoon of that day, we trekked back towards the bus, but our leaders had no intention of taking us home; instead we had to make our own camp site with bivouac for sleeping five.

Luckily we didn't have to spend the night in it, just prepare it - I'm sure ours would have leaked.

Young Enterprise Report In early Mardi this year, a group of interested sixth form students from three business studies classes joined to form Manurewa High School Young Enterprise 1987. This is a company which is formed each year within the school with the aim of learning about running a business by producing and/or marketing a product to make a profit.

One of our first difficulties was deciding on a product. After much deliberation, eggs, sweatshirts and bags were decided upon. Eggs were available cheaply through a contact of one staff member and a clothing company was found to supply sweatshirts. The name was to be S.EB. Enterprises.

A mass of paperwork was completed and sent away to Young Enterprise headquarters in Wellington including the memorandum and articles of association. A certificate of incorporation was received in return. As we were to discover later, bags were never to be marketed due to us having quite enough to occupy our time with eggs and sweatshirts.

Because of the large amount of money needed to puchase a consignment of sweatshirts, shares were sold to students and staff (who obviously expected a good dividend), at $1.00 each. $450.00 in capital was gained in this manner.

Eggs initially went on sale on April the thirteenth with staff of the school as the target market. Due to a lack of necessary marketing promotion work, sales to begin with did not reach anticipated levels.

We soon found that take-away bars were a potential money spinner as we could undercut their regular suppliers. By June sales were booming.

Young Enterprise - Shadowing Programme

By Peter Lowe

The "Shadowing Programme" held during the last week August holidays and run by the Auckland Chamber of Com has been of excellent value to me for both in experience and le, content.

It involved meeting and conversing with all sorts of people • managing directors to car groomers. The idea was for me to see the business I was assigned to does, and how it operate watching and asking questions of these people, I was able to n excellent advice and first-hand experience.

During the five days, I visited four companies. I was assignee main company and three of its subsidiary ones. This allowed i sample a wide variety of different types of business - prof finance, sales and wine.

I have learnt such things as management, accountancy, secre work, computers, laboratory work, salesmanship, property, s shares, currency, finance, legal jargon, wine-making and mark, - to name but a few.

This scheme is also an excellent chance to meet new and exc people. It is these people that make you feel very comfortable relaxed in each business environment and who make this schen enjoyable.

As a result, I would suggest strongly to anyone who has opportunity to try this programme, do so.

An order for the first consignment of sweatshirts was placed in early July with orders taken from people outside the school. Few orders for sweatshirts were taken from students in the school. After successful delivery of the sweatshirts to our customers, we decided to try T-shirts. The chinese style printed T-shirt proved extremely popular within the school with many orders taken from students.

These were ordered early in the August holidays and were supplied to customers in early October. Problems were encountered with the company over receiving correct orders of both sweatshirts and Tshirts but all these were able to be ironed out.

I mportant figures in S.E.B. Enterprises, Manurewa High School Young Enterprise 1987 include: Ben O'Meara, Managing Director Janine Miller, Company Secretary.

Helen Wood, Accountant (Sweat shirts and T-shirts) Koloti Bloomfield, Accountant (Eggs) Brendan Lochead, Sales Manager.

Teresa Stonebridge, Personnel Manager.

The support of the following people is acknowledged in the success of our company: Mr Steve Moorhouse, Accountant Win Wool Stores.

Mr Macleod, Head of Accounting, Economics and Business Studies at Manurewa High School.

Mrs Turner. Teacher of Business Studies at Manurewa High School_ The company was wound up in mid October. a substantial profit was made and a healthy dividend was paid to shareholders. In conclusion, an extremely successful exercise of benefit to all concerned.

DEBATING This year the debate team comprised of loana Vaetoro, loam Wrigley, Alayna Batcheldor and Janine Hunter who were entere into the North Shore debating competitoin. We came up again schools such as Rosehill, Papatoetoe, Auckland Boys Grammar, an Auckland Girls Grammar, whom we struggled to defeat and f Mary's who proved to be, after a long fight, better than us by twelj marks. Overall we had a successful year and hope in 1988 a n Junior team will form, as we move into Senior Competiiton.

The Monta Vista Madrigals from California, USA The Monta Vista Madrigals are the best 30 singers out of about 500 singers from Monta Vista High School in Calafomia. They arrived in Auckland to a hall full of Manurewa High School, all very excited to billet an American student. Before meeting their billets they were welcomed by the Maori Cultural group and Mr Thomson.

Then for the next hour we were entertained by an amazing combination of song and dance. The programme ranged from 16th Century Madrigals to the most recent of songs and their enthusiasm and obvious talent had their audience quite spell-bound.

Finally, the end of school arrived and as Mrs James read out the names of our billets, our hearts went flat tack - would he be handsome? Will she get on with my parents? With the hellos over we were off home to meet our parents and friends - all was well.

It was a memorable couple of days; one of the guys pulled on the hand brake while Mandy Burgess was driving - she'll never forget him! Some billets were dragged off to an infamous 'black and white' party - they'll never forget!

After a tour of Auckland's major attractions, it was time to return the choir to the airport. They sang a few songs of farewell and then they were off to Fiji. We have since heard that one of the guys broke his neck, and was stranded in a Fijian hospital during the coup.

For us Kiwis, it was an enjoyable and valuable exchange of cultures.

Orchestra Camp It all started on Wednesday morning. We brought mountains of gear to school, and piled it up in Ml. Everyone had a teddy bear or two, or even three! We eventually managed to load the bus (in the rain) and then away to 'Shalom Camp' Beachlands for three short days.

When we got there, the camp director welcomed us and showed us quite clearly and precisely where the girls dorms were and where the boys dorms were (quite a few times). Then into solid practising, - sore mouths and blistered fingers.

In our lunch break we braved the beach, where we made it quite clear we had been there by the writing in the sand. A few "couples" were off into the corners up ahead - perhaps to test the acoustics? Of course, little did we know that trigger-happy Mr Waardenburg had borrowed the school video and everything was being recorded in great detail - evert eating and sleeping. But the funny thing was that the tape ran out in Mrs Waardenburg's room?

Thursday was the night of the big 'concert', everyone had a go: The Corson brothers deafened us with amazing drum feats: Andrew Cochrane performed- with a 'chorus of girls'; Pierre won a prize for his loving attachment to the volume 'knob' of the synthesiser; David was the most improved player - he could play 'a note' by the end of camp. Even the staff had a go with a much aged pserformance of the song "wrinkled prunes" - what a laugh. Old Mrs James all bent over like the hunch-back of Notre Dame and Mr and Mrs Waarendburg deaf and aging fast!

It was three days of hard work, fun and music, music, music. It was a pity it had to end, because we all got on so well. Thanks a lot for the camp Mrs James,Mr and Mrs Waardenburh - it was fantastic.

Manukau Secondary Schools MUSIC FESTIVAL Tuesday 20 June the orchestra from Manurewa High School made up the largest proportion of students performing a the Manukau secondary school's Music Festival. Twenty five schools were represented from the region and this has become very much a highlight of the varied music which is being learnt and performed in our schools.

Students had spent time rehearsing at their respective schools as well as combining for two day rehearsals prior to the main event.

The Manurewa High School students were included in the full orchestra as well as in the Big Band, which plays more modern music with a strong brass component.

Manurewa High School orchestra "did themselves proud" with two solo items, "The Hustle" and the "Waltzing Cat" which were thoroughly enjoyed by those who listened and watched. The evening was concluded with a suitable stirring rendition of the National Anthem sung by the choir and the audience and played by the combined orchestra.

SINGING Singing lessons, like musical instrument lessons, are provided Manurewa High School for those students who desire them, and year Mrs West has not only provided the lessons but she students to the South Auckland Performing Arts Competik which were held during the May holidays. The successes of students were most notable. Every singer who entered competition from this school was placed.

In the 'National or Folk Song' competition Lisette Wesseling placed third and Rebecca Thorne and Jacqui Spurdle were highly commended. Dianne Finau gained a second place for performance in the same category but in an older age grouping Lisette and Jacqui then teamed up for the Under 18 Vocal Duet again received a second placing. Moving on to the 'Song in Cos section Lisette achieved first place, Jacqui second place and J Mills was very highly commended.

Dianne Finau achieved a further second in the 'Light Musical Comedy' section for ages 16-18. For ages 14-16 sin something of their own selection Lisette Wesseling gained s place and Jodine Mills, Jacqui Spurdle and Rebecca Thorne were very highly commended.

CONCERT BAND In term one we decided to form a concert hand, as well as the orchestra. By term two we had 12 members who provided musical back-up for the highly successful musical "Smike".

You may have noticed that Lisette Wesseling's name app several times and it therefore came as no surprise that she was winner of the 'Gwynneth Short Challenge Cup'. Lisette exempl the character of all the school's singers who participated in competitions; they looked good, sounded good, were impecc behaved and were a credit to themselves and the school.

This upbeat group of musicians found the traditional black and white suits too dull, so we brightened them up with bright coloured socks and matching bow ties - a sight to see on opening night.

During each nightly performance we had to endure the book throwing scene during which many books landed in the pit. Our instruments were struck and our bodies bruised and battered! After quietly putting up with this for several nights the tension was too great for drummer Mathew Tait who retaliated by holding a sign saying "hit me", wearing a cricket helmet with drum sticks protruding through the top and throwing the books right back at the "ill-tempered" Alayna Batcheldor.

Since the conclusion of "Smike" the band has met regularly to prepare for our next performance a dance for the Kiwanis Club of Papatoetoe. It has been fun to have this chance to play more rock 'n roll music and "let the hair down."

On behalf of the band I would like to thank Mrs James for all the torturous hours we spent locked in a room with her and all the hard work she and other staff members put into the band.

It's been great ANGELA HOUGH 7

"SINGERS" This group has had an interesting year. Our first peforrnance for a Parent-Teachers' evening, when we sang two numbers a little help from my friends", by the Beatles, and a 1950's rock p "Rockin' Robin".

Our next public appearance for term one was the ANZAC sen where we sang appropriately, "Russians" by Sting - a promoting world peace.

In term two, having experienced the Monte Vista Madrigal G we aimed to combine dance with singing, which made a good b from "serious" singing.

With help from the intinerant singing teacher, we prepared items, one of which was used for senior prizegiving - "Be back s from Oliver - a two part song requiring lots of skill.

Manurewa High School Rotary Exchange Students from Australia.

"From the Land of 'O'z" Manurewa High School hosted four exchange students from Australia for Term II of this year. The four students were Paul Dykes who was from Merriwa, South Wales and he stayed with the Littleford family in Manurewa; Michelle Eaton came from Batemans Bay in New South Wales also, and she stayed with the Powell family, from Frankston, Victoria came Nicole Godsman, who stayed with the Sharpe family; and finally Sarah-Jane Guthrie from Berry, New South Wales, and she was with the Lyttle family in Manurewa, These four were members of the Rotary Exchange Scheme and they were here for 15 weeks. During Term 1 of this year four of our students stayed with their families in Australia and the hosting was reciprocated.

Australian exchange students from all over Auckland went on a camp to Rotorua from 12-20 July this year. 23 students attended, plus councillors. They visited Lake Taupo, Mount Maunganui and viewed all the local attractions of Rotorua.

Naturally they brought with them many sayings and expressions common to the Australian tongue which have been entertaining for the Kiwi students at Manurewa High. Part of their education has been to learn Kiwi expressions to take back as part of their experience.

Paul involved himself in the Under 16 Rugby team and also in the Under 17 Soccer team. There would be few Kiwi students who would give their support to rival sporting disciplines. Nicole played netball for the school and helped with the set painting for the school's musical 'Smike'. Michelle and Sarah-Jane were both on the school's Cultural Council and have also helped with other extracurricular activities.

The school is sure that their experience has been valuable and they have added much to the community of this school. Sarah-Jane and Michelle returned on 29 August, while Paul and Nicole had a few more days until their return on the 6 September. This mini-exchange scheme sponsored by Rotary is a great success and we are likely to see many more students taking part in the future.

Andrew Cochrane.

Being an Exchange Student It was August last year when I applied to be an exchange student to Australia and now its August this year and the exchange is nearly over.

The heat was the first thing that hit me when I arrived at Sydney airport 24th January 1987. I met my twin Sarah Guthrie and her dad.

We travelled to her house in Berry N.S.W. where I met her mum and two brothers, Adam and John. This was only the beginning of my stay as an exchange student to Australia.

During my stay I experienced many different aspects of life in Aussie. The way I spoke was a great joke to everyone, the first thing I was asked was say "wickets" and "sixty-six". (They made it sound like sex). There were tonnes of different meanings like our sweat shirt was their sloppy-joe and chilly bin was esky. These were only some of the things I encountered during my stay.

Twice the New Zealanders got together with the Australian students on camps which were really terrific, where everyone got to know each other. But perhaps the best part of my stay was when the Kiwis went away for a couple of days to places like Canberra, Goulburn, Manly and Sydney. Everyone had such a great time. We were all very sad to have to say good-bye.

1 went to many other places with my host family and had heaps of fun, it was sad saying good-bye at the airport for both my twin and 1. Now its nearly time for Sarah to go home for the exchange is closing to an end and I shall he saying 'bye to Sarah. The whole exchange has been great, such a good opportunity for anyone.

MY ROTARY EXPERIENCE I remember the day, that I imparted the news to my friends, that

I had been accepted as a Rotary Exchange Student. That I would be spending 1988 at an American High School. They were almost as excited as I was.. .

"I'm green with envy" "All the guys" "Wish it were me" "The sun, the sea, the surf" "You'll come gack speaking like an American" "Get me Tom Cruise's autograph" However, contrary to popular opinion life as a Rotary student is not all 'sugar and cream'.

To become an exchange student you have to go through a rigorous selection process. First, you complete a three page club application, answering such questions as; "What are the four major issues confronting your country today?" "Write 200 words about one of these" or "What are your future plans or ambitions?" After sending this away, all filled in, I was asked along to an interview. At this interview I was subjected to probing questions and discerning stares from the five Rotarians who made up the selection committee (It wasn't quite that bad!)

From there, I had to fill in a seven page questionaire in triplicate.

This was the next rung of the ladder, and I now had to wait a nailbiting month before finding out if I was allowed to continue up the ladder.

The next stage was a camp. "Neat," you say "A camp. What fun" Not this camp. On Friday evening, we were informed that Saturday night we had to give a speech. This included such subjects as "How would you answer when questioned of New Zealand's nuclear stand?". "Explain New Zealand's economic policies" or "Describe your community covering such things as physical layout, ethnic diversity, standard of living." I ask you, where do you start?

It is not necessary to say that I returned home Sunday evening drained and ready to sleep for the next twenty-six hours. However, it was all worth it when I received in the mail, a letter informing me, that I had been selected as a Rotary Exchange Student.

You might now think twice about applying to go on an exchange with Rotary. Don't. It has been one of the most memorable experiences in my life, and I have not yet spent my year overseas. I have grown in self-confidence so much over the last few months. I have met and made many new friends, both New Zealanders and people from foreign countries. It has been a tremendous character building experience, one I will never forget.

Thank you Manurewa Rotary Club for giving me this once-in-aLifetime opportunity.

Helena Echberg: Our Danish Exchange Student This year Manurewa High school hosted another Rotary Exchan Student. She was /7 year old Helena Echberg from Gemmel R Denmark.

Arriving in the middle of August 1986, Helena stayed just under year and soon became a valued member of our school with h outgoing personality and willingness to be part of the school spi whatever the task.

KRISTINA COOPER

Helena's positive attitude involved her in many school activit including the Cultural, Environmental and Sports Councils; th Maori Culture Group; Key Club; Cricket as well as the role Honorary Prefect, involving interaction with junior classes on a thi form camp and through a third form liaison class.

With her focus on life in New Zealand, Helena enjoyed stayin with four host families; the Parkes; the Igrisons; the Hynds and t Egans, who in turn contributed time, hospitality and support make Helena's stay in New Zealand memorable.

Through her host families and the Rotary Club, Helena manag to cover a large area of New Zealand, experiencing the 'kiwi way life', meeting new people and seeing the sights. Her travels took Ix on a South Island tour; to the West Coast of Northland, Orm Hahei and the Coromandel Peninsual, in addition Helena attend Rotary camps with other exchange students, forming life-Ion friendships.

Helena found New Zealand a beautiful second home with man similarities and differences to Denmark, expecially at school, i∎ example; wearing a uniform and attending a formal school boll.

Helena managed to create a major impact of the school, expeciall the 7th form. With her overall friendliness and companions Helena became a true friend and an excellent representative Denmark.

My Cat She's very mischevious my cat She prowls around everywere in search of a rat And then when it's time, to retire for the day She finishes up by burying her prey Then it's dinner time and she puts on a show by curling around my feet all a glow So, I give in to her adorable face and at the dinner table will set her a place But then the time comes around When, she's curled up, and sleeping sound I must put her outside for the night So, she slowly uncurls without even a fight.

THE NEW ARRIVAL The roost stands hi prepared glory Ready for the beginning of a new story Lovingly furnished with glittering toys For the amusement of tiny girls and boys.

The day of arrival dawns Every heart captured by the first little yawns Miniature hands, legs and feet A sweet, crumpled face so very petite.

The well-wishers arrive to come and see To hug and hold and bounce on their knees.

The giggles and coos of baby laughter Echo in the far corners of every rafter.

Two pairs of grandparents puffed with pride Two radiant parents stand side by side, An adored bundle clasped to her soul The family circle now is whole.

Two travel up a dark and wooded slope.

Pine scents the fresh and cold night air, And all around deep waters grope And snatch at cliffs, and grasp and tear.

Wild wind wails through darkened trees, And whips up leaves that blanket ground.

A roaring and crashing is heard from the sea That surrounds the hill, the water all round.

At the edge of the path a chasm falls deep, With an angry Sea pounding cliffs for below Cliffs that fall fast, that are sheer and steep,.

And twist the wind in a searing blow.

On a high hill top two look about, See swirling and boiling ocean near, Feel the sharp wind biting, and doubt That anything is here but dark, cold fear.

For fear has once taken this place with grey And harsh fingers. What else could cause Any man to rob in such a terrible way The only thing which we can really call ours?

CANTEEN We stood in the line waiting, as though we were refugees, hoping for food.

Pennies were in our hands, like sand they slipped through our fingers.

Silently but slowly the line moved, people shuffling towards their destination, sharing their troubles with others, and wanting nothing else but food.

Guards watched us like hawks, as other people joined the line, time marched on.

I walked away content although I had received some food, all of sand had gone.

The clouds flock together like insecure sheep wth the sun as their guardian shepherd, They drift like wardens across the sky.

Never knowing where they are going.

They drift and dance, across the sky Moving nowhere fast They step with ease and stare, watching, waiting anticipating.

Impressions

The Hurricane - a Sonnet The animal fury Winding and wending a trail of fire, Swallowing objects with the heat Of a gaze filled with venom, Destruction its pleasure Not sated with ease.

The hurricane moves on with careless head for direction An unmitigated force, Unleashed without restraint To wander where it will.

The arrogance uncrushable, Never vulnerable to hurt It stands alone, an awesome beast.

The school garden out by the gate is full of different plants an animals as well as noise. When we went out to the area we mot what we smelt, and heard, in notes. Some interesting things lik different birds, and trees were scattered around.

Some of the smells were pleasant if they were smelt individually, b as they all come in a rush to the nose and were all jumbled, could not tell whether it was one or more smells.

We also walked under the covered way and looked at the trees carvings and a garden for the blind. This garden is supposed to be garden of smells where the blind can smell the different plants a can also tell the plants apart by their smell.

We also recorded the colour that differs in the trees.

Manurewa High School FASHION PARADE The PTA presented its annual fashion parade in Term II, Wednesday 23 September. It is an annual event which this year was bigger and better than even Under the direction of Mrs Y Van Twuiver it was developed to include more entertainment, prizes, sponsorship, and clothes from some of the more up--to-date fashion houses in the area.

The theme was the 'Roaring 20's', but naturally the fashions were of the 80's. However the style and venue of the evening was rekindled by the gaiety and effervescence of the 20's era. If you are aware of the hostess for "It's in the Bag' then you will be aware of the fashion parade's compere, Hillary Timmins, a woman of much ewerience in the world of modelling and public presentations.

The show started at 7.30p.m. and finished at approximately 10.30p.m. The models are students from the school, both in the junior and senior sections of the school. There were eight young men and 14 ladies who rehearsed for approximately two months to prepare this extravaganza of professionalism.

In between the clothing sections entertainment was prepared. The school's Dance Group had an item. Mr J Clarke and form class 5CL presented a type of game show. To follow the theme of the 20's a group of students and a group of teachers presented a performnance of the famous 'Charleston'. This was choreographed by Miss A Perjanik and was an item which the staff performed some years ago.

Clothes were sponsored and supplied for the evening most generously by the following outlets; Paull's Fashions, Extensions, Runners Inn, Basile, and Hallensteins.

As further audience involvement, attraction and entertainment, prizes were arranged for such things as lucky seats and lucky tickets and these were presented and distributed throughout the evening.

Companies which have generously donated prizes as sponsorship in the show were; Bonds New Zealand Ltd, Avon Cosmetics, Eta Foods, Pizza Hut, McDonalds and JMA Enterprises.

The fashion parade was divided into several sections: Casual, Sportswear, two Dress sections, 'After Five' and the Finale. Tickets were available from the school and its students at a cost of $10 adult and $5 child. Supper was available at interval at a nominal cost, and this included food, homemade by members of the school's PTA. This annual fashion parade was directed by Mrs Y Van Twuivee with the assistance of PTA members on the fashion parade subcommittee. The funds go to the school and there was great support from the community for this one night show which has a reputation ot being a thoroughly enjoyable and professional presentation.

Impressions of 'Assembly Sho Because I'm very interested in Drama, I decided to take it as option this year. Mrs Oates, my teacher, told us a couple of w ago that our group were doing a play for the junior assembly, c the 'Assembly Show'.

The 'Assembly Show' is basically a send-up of school assembli The stage is set up like a game show, with the Headmaster, of school, Mr Big, acting as a host. There are a variety of interest characters in the play from the weird Rev. Brightly, to my p . trendy Miss Groovy.

Miss Groovy is a young English teacher who was voted 'the tear I'd most like to be kept in with'. I like her, she's funny, exciting a smiles all the time. She's also extremely cool.

I really enjoy the play. It's really amusing, and some parts arc ga cleverly written.

DRAMA 1987 This year has once again been an active one for drama in the school.

Directed by Mrs Oates, Arthur Miller's "A View From the Bridge" set the tone of polish and sophistication which we have come to expect from the largely senior cast involved in the first production of each year. Three of the actors - Derek Quugley, Paula Stockley and Robyn Taylor (all from Form 7)- have subsequently been awarded cultural achievement badges for their contributions to the school in drama.

In term two Mrs Oates (producer/director) and Mrs James (musical director) rehearsed fifty actors and fifteen musicians for the musical "Smike" (an adaptation of the well-known Charles Dickens novel "Nicholas Nickleby"). The large number of juniors involved is indicative of the potential there is for the future within the school.

The year ended with a festival called "Lucky Friday the 13th" - a composition of pieces presented by the school's drama option classes. The interest in Drama as an option subject and a Sixth Form Certificate subject has remained high; classes taught by Mrs Oates, Mrs Mulcahy and Miss Kennedy often perform at assemblies, to smaller audiences within the school and, most recently, to the local intermediate school. The interest of these students has complimented the already large number of pupils for whom involvement in the school's major productions is a creative and rewarding activity. Besides finding it a great deal of hard work, students agree that being in a school production is fun - memories of the intensive rehearsal camps come to mind!

1988 looks set to be a positive and exciting, as well as a challenging year; plans for a new format to the programmes offered are underway including the possibility of a tour.

It is hoped that in 1988 there will also be further expansion and development-of drama department resources and facilities.

By now dramatic productions at Manurewa High School have become known as highly polished examples of professionalism. This years musical has been no exception. Smike - the Dotheboys Rock was a journey in time from a modern school to that of the 18th century, loosely based on Dicken's novel Nicholas Nickelby.

A young energetic and enthusiastic cast tackled Smike with intense energy. Energy - whether it was a chaotic costume change between scenes; energy - whether choked with clouds of dry ice or 'just one more time' of Dotheboys Rock.

Once again Mrs Oates and Mrs 'open-your-mouth' James poured tremendous amounts of commitment, dedication and professionalism into the musical.

We cannot forget the three days spent at Willow Park, Eastern Beach. Camp saw everyone get to know each other a little better, the emergence of several new relationships is notable. It was also time to have a little fun and learn the true meaning of the word 'work' as we perfected and polished the finishing touches of Smike.

A View from the Bridge

A list of thankyous for all involved behind the scenes, behind the lights or behind the blusher brushes and teapots would be endless.

Hey guys lets give them all a Z1GGY! Sarah Marshall.

Yet another challenge triggered off fourteen enthusiastic young actors. Not two weeks back from the Christmas holidays and rehearsals were under way for "A View from the Bridge" by Arthur Miller. This sophisticated modem tragedy dealt with the plight of illegal Italian immigrants in the United States in the 1980's.

Many painstaking hours were spent rehearsing to bring the fourteen young actors to their full potential under the command of "Dragon Oates".

Around two weeks before opening night we set off to Awhitu which was to be our home for the next three days, little knowing that we were missing a member of the cast who later caught up with us While the more predominant parts were rehearsing, the not so demanding parts took a minute to explore the depths of the muddi wasteland which was the back yard.

The camp not only served to perfect and polish the production but created an important bond between the actors.

After five demanding but rewarding performance nights the tired cast made their way home ready for the next challenging production, once again under the trusted direction of Mrs Oates.

JANINE TRAPANI Last year in Form 6, Janine developed into a highly skilled photographer, in the 6th Form Photography class.

This year in Form 7 Art Janine has specialised in drawing, photography and print making. She entered three photographs into the National Secondary Schools Photographic Competition and won first place in the Ilford Shield competition. This was a colour photograph competition entitled Class C. Cibachrome. The entries were exhibited by the Howick Camera Club at the Pakuranga Community Centre gallery.

Janine's winning subject was a multiple-image of a F.18 Hornet fighter bomber which she photographed at Whenuapai in her own time. The entry has an unusual quality as it is a series of 7 photographs laid one on the other covering 180째. It gives the areoplane an almost animal-like quality. it is to be hoped that Janine puts a folio together and furthers her career at Elam Arts School.

It was not long after this that my grandfather, with his persuasive and sometimes aggresive nature, supervised the public appeal to build plunket facilities for the steadily increasing popluation. Hi efforts were rewarded when, in 1933, the building was opened. No only did this focus a great deal of attention on Manurewa, but it also brought Auckland's first radio station, One-ZM, to a site on Maich Road in 1935. My grandfather was a proud, well-respoected ma then, partly because he had contributed to putting the area "on th map", but mostly because he was devoted to the welfare of people.

He was Manurewa's first police officer, and worked at the first police station situated behind the Norfolk pine.

At this point, the sparkle in his eyes dies, the flame in his voice is blown out. He suddenly becomes a pathetic, helpless old man again.

An old man with no goals, no more ambitions. An old man whose love and pride for the area has gone. He mumbles "After thirty-five years working as a policeman, criminals, technology, and the railway station came. They built it on 20 May, 1975, in the Woolworth's car park. Everything changed after that. Young children were content with a book in my day. Now they want a picture theatre. I remember when we could leave our doors open at night and nothing would be stolen .. ." His ramblings continue asl stand here under this 115 year old Norfolk pine. Is this town, which was made a ward of Manukau City in 1965, really that bad? Or is he too old to accept a changing world? He certainly has a lot to be prim ot.

Images of a City The day is dawning The sky's still yawning Fresh bright faces run by City morning.

The sun, it still plays Creating shadows and waves The tempo slows down City days.

People, crowds, through traffic they're weaving The dusk in their breathing The shadows lengthen, disappear City evening.

The city cools, bright lights The day is gone, the wrongs are rights The pulsing heat, shuffling feet City nights.

VICKY BRADSHAW 6HW

Sitting hunched in the bus shelter I wait Rain thrumming on the tin Stamping cold feet, rubbing numb hands.

The dark evening sky is cold and ugly, The odd car passes.

A dog runs across to my side of the road In front of an oncoming car, People hurry past wrapped in warm clothes, Following warm food scents That linger on the air.

Now it is quiet and lonely Points of light Appear on the distant horizon.

Now the bus stops, smelling of rank diesel And I climb on board, slumping Into the nearest seat, Cold and miserable.

Teri McElroy.

IMPRESSIONS I stand and I listen. I can hear many things. I can hear the birds sitting in the trees chirping happily, without a care. I can also hear a car rushing by. Leaves rustle near by.

I can see trees gently swaying in the breeze, just like they are sweeping the sky clean. A fence stands still and gold in a tree's shadow. Leaves colour trees with green, yellow and gold. All around is contrasting colour, giving depth to all I see.

Grass is wet under my feet, and dew has swept over it during the night leaving it shining and glistening in the morning light.

The morning feels cold and crisp and somehow refreshing. In this atmosphere one could think that there were no factories, or big buildings that reach for the sky. I can pretend that pollution and waste products and smoke and other nature killing substances are all a bad dream. The birds and trees and the dew are real, and so is the polluted city. I go to take a deep breath of fresh air but all I take is normal city air which diesn't smell fresh at all. All I can do is pretend and hope.

Activities INSTEP DANCE GROUP

"Crikey!"

"We're on next" or "I'm gonna be sick, Miss Briggs", were just some of the comments flying around backstage on the night of the fashion parade. We were all a bundle of nerves because for some it was their first performance on stage.

The music started (luck was with us). The spotlights sprang alive and we "expert dancers" boogied down to Nutbush City (old fogey - by Tina Turner). If it was not for Karen, Megan and Miss Briggs to put a finishing professional touch over the group, we would have lost our timing altogether. (By the way - thanks gals for making us look terrific).

We received a great response from the audience that night and although the performance in assembly did not go as well as expected we thoroughly had a SUPER time.

All this couldn't have been done without the leadership of Miss "Put-some-oomph-in-it" Briggs. I'm sure every member of this dance group would like to send Miss Briggs a bouquet of flowers for being so "patient" with us.

Be prepared . . because you're gonna see MORE of the INSTEP DANCE GROUP from now on!!!!

Netball An encouraging start to the season with a high number of girls willing to paticipate. Seven teams competed at all levels at the Manukau Secondary School's competition every Tuesday after school throughout term two. Congradulations must go to all teams for their effort, but special mention to the Manurewa 5Red and 3Teal teams, who came runner up in each divisions. Teal missing out by only one goal throughout the season.

Same1eems,:also had the opportunity to compete with other Auckland schools at the yearly North Shore and Coca-cola, Papakura tournaments. A very high level was seen at these competitions with the highlight of the Coca-cola tournament being our 3Teal team winning the third form grade.

Special thanks to all staff, coaches and captains for another successful season.

Manurewa High School UNDER 16 RUGBY TEAM Under 15 Rugby Team After a start of no coach, short numbers, inattendance at training and a general feeling of non-commitment, this team bought more surprises, glory and determination than any of the other school teams!

The initial non-competition games, under the guidance of "Uncle" (Arthur Hunia), soon proved that the strengths of this team were natural flair, good ball skills, and a trusting team sprint. Winning all the initial games with players finding their true positions, playing short of numbers, and a keen rally of vocal support on the sideline became the foundation of a great season. At this stage Wayne Marsh was convinced to coach the team and his expertise and experience were invaluable.

What a successful season it turned out to be. Until the final competition game against St Stephens, neither of the teams had lost a game, so this was the 'big one', then the weather turned the final into a mudbath on St Stephens No. 1 field. This game was lost eight nil - but the team, although disappointed, knew they had been a team worthy of the hours of support given by the coaches, 'Uncle' to start with, and Wayne Marsh throughout the competition.

Thanks from the team go to the Manager Brian Payne, to all the parents who provided transport to the 'away' games, and to the donation of the "Player of the Day" cup donated by Mr and Mrs Candy. Also, many thanks to the strong vocal support throughout the season.

There were many ups and down for us during the winter season of 1987. One of the major downfalls, according to the team, probably would have been the lack of support the team had, and the number of players turning up to a game or arriving late.

During the season we had some great moments, this included close exciting matches against Wesley 3-0, Pukekohe 12-10, Tukaku 4-6.

Then there was a runner-up placing in an under 17 side tournament which produced some pretty big fellows. This was an outstanding feat for our nine short, slim but skilled athletes winning our pool but losing 10-12 in the final to Tuakau.

Other hard "fought" games were St Stephens B which was called off because of too many fights, and also the scuffles against Pukekohe, both games we won.

However, the whole season wasn't a bed of roses. The most depressing upset was a mid week game against James Cook. The teams heart wasn't in it at all and we come off losers 10/0 which we deserved for our slack attitudes.

Mr Williams, this year's coach for the Under 16's, had many tricks up his sleeves like the brick passing and playing soccer with a rugby ball in a downfall of rain. He also trained us in the gym which was a very exhausting practice.

The team would like to thank Paul our Aussie friend who played in few or our last winning matches.

The team was very well balanced with skilled backs who produced some explosive and entertaining moments as the ball was moved from one side of the field to the other in quick time.

Playing Record:- Played 11 Won 8 Drew 1 Lost 2 Paul Candy 4YM

The number of tries scored by the outside backs was tribute to a skilled and efficient backline.

The forwards were not to be overshadowed, it was because of their dominance gained over their opponents that allowed the backs to play as they did.

Junior Boys' Basketball 1987 This year Manurewa High School fielded two teams in the Manukau Secondary Schools Competition. With so much interest in the game we felt that having a 'B' team was better than having a lot of boys on the 'A' team's bench every week. This 'B' team were all inexperienced and they didn't manage to win any games all season, but they did enjoy themselves and they learnt a lot about the game by being out there on the court.

The 'A' team, on the other hand, had a highly successful season.

They finished first equal with StStephens in section play and played off against James Cook for third place in the whole of the Manukau region. This game was a thriller. At full time the score was 34 all.

After extra time Craig Peebles scored the winning goal. The atmosphere in the stadium was absolutely electric. The big crowd (around 150-200 people) had probably just seen the most exciting game of schoolboy basketball in a long time.

I would like to congratulate the boys in both the 'A' and 'B' teams.

I would like to thank them for their loyalty and dedication throughout the season.

Thanks also to Mr Williams who lasted out the whole season even after threatening to walk out on us many times for not listenening.

However after a couple of early wins the team lost its first away game against a strong Rosehill side. From then on the players started to loose their enthusiasm. It soon became impossible for Mr Birch to get a full squad at practice and the bad results continued.

1ST XI SOCCER REPORT

FIRST XI GIRLS' SOCCER

After a rebuilding period in the grading half to the season, (successfully resulting in the 1st XI being placed into the B1 grade the top morning division in Auckland), the team began to play some of the finest school soccer seen in a long time.

The First XI Girls Soccer team started the year with a g approach when we won our first game against Rosehill 3-0 winning attitude was kept up throughout the entire season as lost only one game in a tense clinch-match against James Cook.

The first game of the season finished as a 5-1 win against MacLeans College. Other grading results were 1-0 against Rosehill, 8-0 against Papatoetoe and a 2-2 draw against Otahuhu. Although losses were sustained against James Cook and Pakuranga the school finished second, enough to qualify for top level competition.

As always, committment and dedication from all of the girls has be admired. Many thanks must go to our captain, Mich O'Sullivan - so cool, calm and reliable and of course our coach Mr for his continued patience, perserverance and encouragement.

The competition round started slowly but as momentum grew, so did the 1st XI's formidability. With players lost and others gained, the 1-1 draw with Auckland Grammar and a loss to Glenfield were the only points we were to lose for the remainder of the season.

It has been a successful season for our team - finishing second our division. It has also been a "bidding up" season as we imps our ability and expertise. We look forward to further successes n year and beyond.

Sarah Marshall

The winter ended on as high a note as it began but the build up to season-end was the climax. A comfortable but well-deserved 2-1 win over old rivals James Cook was followed by a total out-classing of southern visitors Matamata 9-1. This was again preceded by an even more impressive victory, mid-week against Mt Albert Grammar. All in all the season ended as follows: Played 13, Won 8, Drew 2, Lost 3, Scored 45 against 19.

Goalkeeper Andrew Fenton kept well with limited mistakes as did reserve keeper Mark Littleford when he was called upon. The sturdy defence of Grant Crenfeldt, Brett Reynolds (who was Vice Captain), Bryce Marx, Paul Sousa and Heath McGilvray provided and excellent attacking platform which became a hallmark of the team. The selection-troubled midfield of John Morgan, Richard Harrison, Scott Hughes, Owen Hill, David Joynt, Robert Hyde and Chris Temple, all performed well under pressure. The forward line of Dean Griffiths, Phillip Duncan (my player of the year) and Brett McQuarrie scored most of the important goals and were the thorn in many opponents sides.

Thanks must go to those players who filled in at the odd games Mark Harrison, Collin Scott, Derek Quigley and Andrew Crenfeldt.

The season has been most successful and quite enjoyable for all concerned. Thanks must to Mr Van Kralingen who without his support, encouragement and management skills the season would not have been possible. Best of luck in the coining yea

GIRLS' HOCKEY

THE TEAM: Lachlan Marshall, Warwick Wilson, Nathan Marshall, Peter Marshall, Rajesh Dayhga, Urmesh Patel, Chris Te Rito, Leigh Byrt, Garard Bargh, Mathew Clarke, Sanjay Soma, Stephen Dennis and Tony Mead.

COACH: Mr Dave Hall MANAGER: Mr Ian Bargh

Manurewa High School fielded three teams this year; a 1st XI, and Open C team and 413 team. It was a disappointing season for all teams concerned due to the poor weather conditions forcing all but six of the games to be cancelled. However all teams showed determination in the face of this adversity and produced some fine hockey.

The 1987 season began with a warm up match against James Cook which we won 4-2. We also played Otahuhu College, an Auckland team which we won 3-1. Dave Hall coached us well during the year and the team thanks him, however he could not always be at practices because of his job and he occasionally arrived late to games, expecially if it was pouring.

1st XI - The team was made up of senior students, some old hands and a few players new to the 1st Xl. Once again the team managed to secure a place in the top Auckland division, Open A. However the competition proved to be too tough with Manurewa losing all their games. The girls showed that they could rise above defeat and play determined hockey with outstanding sportmanship. Special thanks to Katie Martin, Captain, for bolstering the spirits of both the team and the coach when defeat seemed imminent.

OUR DRAW FOR THE SEASON WAS:— Win/Lose School Date Rosehill win May 2 drew Waiuku June 6 lost James Cook June 13 Wesley win June 20 cancelled June 27 Pukekohe win Rosehill July 4 win Waiuku July 18 lost July 25 James Cook win Papakura August 1 win August 8 Pukekohe draw Pukekohe August 15

Open C team - This team was basically made up of fourth and fifth formers, many of whom played in the 2nd XI last season. Under Mrs Weatherly's guidance and with unfailing loyalty, this team managed to win three games, lose one, and draw two.

4B team - This team consisted mainly of third formers with a few conscientious forth former players. They proved to be a devastating combination, winning four games, drawing one and losing only one.

Special credit must go to this team and Louise Turner in particular, as they struggled along without a coach on Saturday mornings.

Thanks to Mr Lees and Warwick Wilson for coaching and managing them during the week and to Mrs Smith for 'holding the fort' on Saturdays.

Mrs Mulcahy (Hockey Co-ordinator)

Points 6-3 1-I 2-1 8-0 5-2 3-2 3-2 3-0 2-0 1-1

James Cook won the competition and we came second equal with Pukekohe The highlight of our season would have to be the trip to Christchurch to play in a secondary school tournament.

From the beginnning of the season we began fundraising. We had a lot of support from the school and especially the Principal Mr Ken Thomson.

Our first fundraising adventure was a Third and Fourth Form Junior dance which was run enthusiastically by all members of the team. The second fundraising event was a social outside of the school which certain members of the team arranged. A 'Burger Night' at MacDonalds was the third money maker and finally we had a Mufti Day. All of these contributions enbabled us to take a squad of fifteen to the South Island. We must thank Mr Ian Bargh who arranged seats on Ansett Airlines.

All was arranged and two weeks before we were due to leave we lost our coach because of previous commitments. However our problems were solved when a new coach turned up four days before we were due to leave. His name was Ballabh Hari or Wally for short.

He is an Uncle of one of the team members and he offered to go along with us. So on 23 August, 13 hockey players, 1 manager, Wally (our fill-in coach), about 30 hockey sticks and a ton of luggage set out on our intrepid adventure.

GIRLS' 1st XI HOCKEY Many of you, expecially members of the 7th form, may have laughed at the progress of this years 1st Girls Hockey Team.

Admittedly our achievements have not been as spectacular as previous seasons but I've enjoyed each of our six games.

The lack of competition (six games to our normal 12 or 15) was due to poor weather conditions causing the cancellation of over half of our games in the worst season for many years.

This however, was only one set back. The team this year consisted of many new players who, because of their fine individual skills and determination earned their way up to the 1st Xl. A lot of practice is required until the team works efficiently together as a unit and this year our practices seem to be sadly lacking. Thus our experiences together wer limited.

However there were times when the ball seemed to flow between players like a well oiled machine, but due to lack of experience (not to mention lack of fitness) we could not retain this pattern of play for the entire 40 minutes.

The challenge of playing a Matamata team who was best matched to our own ability was greatly enjoyed and was perhaps the best game of the season.

Mrs Mulcahy must be congratulated for her perserverence and patience throughout the season. However it is a team game and thanks must be given to each member expecially Tracey who offered great leadership skills and experience to the team. I hope the season next year is more successful and just as enjoyable.

KATIE MARTIN 7DN

We were to play in the 'Johnson Cup' New Zealand Secondary Schools Tournament. We won our first three pool games and drew in the fourth. We reached the semi-finals. At this time we began to lose and after two more games we came fourth out of the ten teams entered.

We had been billeted by the members of Cashmere High School First Xl. These lads supported us verbally and were great hosts. On Thursday 27 August we returned home.

We 'The Team' would like to thank Mr Bargh for managing and helping to organise a most enojoyable trip, Wally our fill-in coach and Mr Thomson and the rest of the school for all the support they gave us with our fundraising. I personally would like to thank the Team for my final season which I enjoyed considerably, good luck for '88.

Rugby AUSTRALIAN TOUR

LORD BYNG TOUR

A rugby team usually spends most of its time together, training and playing the game they love. For this years 1st XV the training and playing almost took second place to fundraising. Sundays and at least two nights after school were spent chopping, mowing, clearing and selling in order to raise enough money to get to what seemed like a dream, the land of Australia.

During July of this year the 1st XV were very fortunate to hos rugby team from Lord Byng High School, in Vancouver. Manur was the first on the Canadians four week, seven game tour. Whil Auckland the tourists spents hours sight-seeing, spending money doing their best to eat their host families as close to poverty humanly possible.

Time flew, and in no time the team was on a plane, they weren't going to Whitford for more firewood, they were going to Australia.

The next twelve days would be spent in the Queensland sun, a sun which was not designed for playing rugby in.

Even though the Canadians appeared to be here for a hol.i alone, they had an ulterior mission, playing rugby. They w beaten narrowly by our own 1st XV (they lost all seven New Zeal games) but managed to impress the local side with intrica planned moves and a great number of 'high fives'. They managed to grab the attention of the local lovelies. Their souvenir shirts had written on them ' . . . there's no need to lock up y daughters . .' a statement that soon proved to be untrue as t swept their way through the North Island.

The team played four games, a narrow loss to South Port High in the first game gave the team a bit of a shake. It wasn't long before the team adjusted to the climate and the fast pace of life in Surfers Paradise an by the time they came to Warwick they were ready to prove that New Zealand is the World Champion rugby nation. Two wins here, the first against Slaede School and the second against Scott College and the team were on a high.

By the fourth game however, the side had got into their holiday side of the tour a bit much and went down to the highly skilled Easts Rugby Union Invitation side. Although the side enjoyed playing games they were glad it was over and were able to relax. The streets of Brisbane shook as did those of Surfers before them as the camera clicking, money flashing tourists tore around looking for excitement.

The 1st XV thank all those involved in organising the tout everyone in both teams enjoyed the five days immensely. A spe thanks to the school cultural group for the highly enjoyable con they performed for the visitors.

The last three days were spent in the beach resort of Maroochylore. When not being pulled out of the surf by lifeguards the tourists could be seen haggling with unsuspecting shop-keepers.

The team thoroughly enjoyed their trip (unfortunately they became a little too accustomed to life at Surfers) and thank all those who assisted in making the trip possible. Special thanks go to our coach Murray Helleur who stuck with us throughout the year, Mr Moor and Mrs Maihi for all the work they did behind the scenes, and all the parents who supported us on our trip and at home with fundraising.

RUGBY REPRESENTATION A number of rugby players have been chosen for representative teams and congratulations must go to these students for achievcing such high honours in sport.

1st XV REPORT The 1987 season was very successful for the 1ST XV. The si finished fourth in the competition, a placing which did not t reflect the skill and determination the side held. Competition wit the team to get out on the field was just as strong as themselves to the depth of the twenty member squad.

This depth shone through the most in the forward pack. A p which was equalled by no other in Counties. When the opposi did manage to get the ball, strong defence from the hard hi t Manurewa back line would soon but them down.

The team were delighted with its wins over such teams , Papakura, Pukekohe and St Stephens but the highlight would h to have been the 3-0 loss to the reputedly hard, well drilled Wes side. The Manurewa side proved what made them so good as t pulled together and played as a team rather than individuals. doing this they put on a fine display of hard rugby, and above even with the odds against them, showed great sportmanship.

The team thanks all those who supported them at games, it most appreciated.

N.Z. Secondary Schools Final Hutt Valley 18-20 September

TABLE TENNIS 1987 proved to be a most successful year for Manurewa High School table tennis teams, achieving commendable results and a large turnout of teams whenever required.

Late afternoon, Thursday September 17, the Manurewa Table Tennis Team assembled at the Ansett terminal Auckland Airport with high hopes of a successful and enjoyable long weekend in the Hutt Valley competing in the Commercial Union New Zealand School Tournament. When the manager/coach arrived neatly attired in his three piece suit, Jeremy Bradshaw, Tony Easton, Mathew and John Sexton boarded the plane for a smooth flight to Wellington. The flight will be remembered for John's demolition of a seat and for one of the team members efforts in chatting up (or trying to) an air hostess.

Term one saw six teams compete in the Auckland area knockout over six consecutive Friday nights. Out of the 6 teams entered Manurewa High School had a very good result with the top team of Jeremy Bradshaw, John Sexton, and Tony Easton finishing as runner-ups after a hard fought final against Westlake Boys High.

Arrival at Wellington airport provided the team quite a shock as no-one was there to meet us, however, ten minutes later (and an irate manager) the tournament co-ordinator arrived and escorted us to our billets.

Manurewa successfully retained the Kirk Shield at the one day tournament having both the winning and runner-up teams in the boys with the girls finishing well mid-field.

On the Friday, after a strenuous training session, we had the rest of the day sight seeing in and around Wellington. Mr Pedley spent his time wisely visiting the Fowler Centre, the Art Gallery, Government Buildings etc. However the rest of us could not resist a feed at McDonalds and a passive stroll through downtown Wellington.

Friday night was the official opening of the tournament at which all players received a tracksuit and playing shirt courtesy of the spnsors. After many speeches and another (thankfully shorter) practice session, we retired for a much needed rest.

The matches began early on Saturday, with the first of our four contests for the day against Otago Boys High. This was a crunch match and could have been won by either team. The 7-4 scoreline to Otago was perhaps not a fair indication of just how close this contest was. We then played St Augustines College of Wanganui, the weakest side in the competition. We successfully held the opposiiton 10-1.

After another feed at McDonalds (Mr Pedley too!), we played a very strong Westlake Boys High team losing 9-2. Saturday night saw us playing another crunch match, this time against Buller High School. Jeremy had a notable result here, beating New Zealand's top junior girl after losing to a very unknown female earlier in the season. This excellent win set the stage for a 7-4 win to Manurewa High School.

We started Sunday with a 2 win, 2 loss record but without our manager/copach who had left for Brisbane to represent the New Zealand Men's team.

Sunday's match was particularly tough as it was against the to seed and eventual tournament winners - Hutt Valley High. Both Tony and Mathew had commendable results, in beating New Zealand representatives.

Term two was the most hectic for the school teams, with a one day tournament, a round robin over eight Fridays, promotion matches against Lynfield College and qualifying rounds for the Commercial Union New Zealand Secondary School Championships.

The promotion matches against Lynfield were played on a home and away basis, and were both hard fought and even contests with each school winning one contest 17 matches to 16. These matches increased awareness of the schools as to the high standard achieved by the players in their chosen sport.

Friday evenings in term two were occupied by a round robin and knockout teams tournament for Counties Schools to determine the Counties School team to progress to the regional playoffs for the New Zealand Schools' Finals. Our top team achieved this distinction from the 15 other teams entered. John Sexton also won the individual tournament at the conclusion of the Counties competition.

Our top team travelled to Hamilton for the Regional playoff against teams from East Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Hamilton where they comfortably beat the opposition to qualify for the New Zealand final in term three, at the Hutt Valley stadium. This result left our team of Jeremy, Tony, John and Matthew Sexton with the daunting thought of a weekend in the Hutt valley paid for by the tournament sponsors (Commercial Union) and also the wonder of how to survive the next few weeks of intense training under the watchful eye of team manager/coach, Mr Pedley.

Although I have discussed the top performances, the players of the other teams are a very important part of our "team", enjoying their table tennis and the social aspects of the sport.

The players thanks go to Mr Pedley for his great commitment and encouragement to the Secondary School Table Tennis and we look forward to 1988 and a continuation of the interest and enjoyment in Table Tannis generated in 1987.

TONY EASTON FORM 6

The tournament concluded with the customary speeches and prize-giving followed by afternoon tea.

Our return to Auckland was eventful to say the least, as minus a manager we extracted "revenge" on the Westlake team.

The weekend proved very enjoyable and valuable to the team, leaving us hopeful of a better result in 1988.

The team then received the honour of each being awarded a school sports badge which are highly regarded by us as recognition of our efforts. These efforts have been gratefully assisted by the Board, school administration and several staff members. All thanks to to all concerned.

TONY EASTON

1987 As a top table tennis player in New Zealand and an active coach, table tennis occupies much of Mr Pedley's non school time. This effort was rewarded by his being selected to play for New Zealand at an International Invitation Tournament in Noumea (mid July) and at the Australian Open in Brisbane (late September), and also by being selected as a manager/coach of the New Zealand Junior teams at the Australian Open. Each of these tournaments proved valuable to his sporting development and were very enjoyable.

Mr Pedley expressed his gratitude to the Board, school administrators and the teaching staff for their understanding and helpful attitude to his sporting pursuits, which impinged on school time.

Summer Sports ATHLETICS Athletics started this year with school championships held in early March. Pupils emerging as champions for 1987 were:Junior Boys Junior Girls Intermediate Boys Intermediate Girls Senior Boys Senior Girls

Martin Monk Janice Ikitule Aaron Roxborough Kathryn Jaggard Dean Griffith Rachel Wheeler

Triathlon & Biathlon Report

The next level of athletics is selection by the school to compete in the Manukau Championships held at Massey Park, Papakura in midMarch. The school selected a team of about 75 athletes to attend this meeting to compete against 15 other schools from the region. Tracey Fisher of Form 3 took the junior girls 3000m and 1500m titles at this meeting and Martin Monk of Form 3 the junior boys 3000m title.

Several of the other selected athletics took minor placings, Chris Ikitule (2), Aaron Roxborough (1), Angela Hough (1), Aaron Polalei (1), Kathryn Jaggard (1), Alan Madgwick (2), Janice Ikitule (1) and Gerald Watts (1).

Following this meeting three athletes were selected to represent the Manukau Region at the North Island Championships in Wellington in Early April, Tracey Fisher, Chris Ikitule and Aaron Roxborough. Top performer at this meeting was surely Tracey Fisher who was only narrowly beaten into second place by a strongly suppoted Wellington runner in the girls 1500m. Martin Monk was unfortunate to miss selection but his best event the 3000m is an open event at the meeting.

Tracey must, at this stage, be the school's most promising athlete, having completed a very successful winter season in cross country and road racing. Her next challenge will be the National Championships in Hamilton in early December, where we are sure she will acquit herself well although due to age variations she will compete with girls up to two years older. Good luck Tracey.

RESULTS OF THE AUCKLAND SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIPS Senior Boys: Emiel Logan - 43rd Junior Boys: Justin Brown - 14th Stephen James - 47th Steven Dennis - 68th Scott Hughes - 69th Brent Petrie - 101st As the weather got colder they cut out the swim and only ran and cycled.

MAMMA HIGH •CNOOL TRIATHLON

STREET CORNER

THE POSSUM-A REPORT

She stood there on the street corner hoping that someone would buy her carefuly arranged red carnations. They were stacked neatly on a plastic table covered with a white cloth. The large red brick wall made the girl look small and frightened.

The possum is an ugly ferret-like animal. It has been given a new name which is an apple eating tree bear.

Her clear oval face surrounded by mousey-brown curls became alive when a woman wearing a black trench coat, tapped her on the shoulders and pointed to the carnations. A few seconds later, the woman was off walking steadily down the footpath with the girl left behind, triumphant with joy.

After and hour or two, she collected her money, gnetly packed the carnations in her bag, pulled on her denim jacket, and trudged down the street.

Where she was going, I would not know. But she'll be back tomorrow, just like yesterday, selling carnations on the street corner.

COMIC COLLECTING In the 1960's people said comics taught kids bad habits. Since then comics have become one of the biggest sought after collectors items.

Even though comic collecting is done by adults a lot of children are in on the scene. They're usually 12 or older. The two major collector shops are Mark I in Auckland and VMS in Wellington.

It lives on fern roots and sometimes nests in large trees way up towards the sun.

In summer its favourite tree is the "Ponga". It likes to sleep in the small crater at the top of the ponga where the sun will shine on it and keep it warm.

The possum has a long tail which is curled. This enables it to hang from branches quite safely. It also has sharp claws that help it to climb up and down trees very fast, The most valuable thing on a possum is its fur. In the school holidays I poisoned and trapped possums with my father down on the farm at Orere Point. Trapping possums is very long and hard work and doesn't produce results like you get when you poison them.

After collecting the possums I have to take them to a dry spot and start skinning them. The possum usually takes five minutes to skin and prepare. It is all hard work but it is worth it. An average possum skin collects four dollars and if enough possums are caught the pay cheque can be quite big.

Not all comics are trash. They've come a long way since the simple strips of the 1940's. Now a comic like Crisis on Infinite Earths can make best sellers like Lord of the Rings look like five year old stuff.

The most sought after comics are from the golden age 1935-54 then the silver age 1961-now. Several years ago a first issue of Superman exchanged hands in New York for US$15,000.

If you want to keep your comics in good condition seal them in plastic bags which will stop them from fading and getting dog ears.

Don't read them too much as the comics get creased and damaged and keep them in a box on a book shelf, set out like you'd set out books because if you just pile them up they can get damaged.

Even some of the British comics are worth something, like 2000 AD no. 1 which in mint condition could be sold for up to $20 or more to a collector.

KARATE

1 do karate.

Most people think it's like Karate Kid and Ninjas, but it's not like that. I do kempo which involves breathing erxercises, defence, attack punches and kicks. I have been doing karate for six months and haVe got first belt which involved doing to katas which are moves like blocking, punching and kicking put together in continuous form.

We have two yellow belts to get, then two brown, then up into black belts. To get a black belt it takes about two or three years depending on how good you are. Our master comes from Japan and his name is Hiroshi Fujimoto. He trains in Auckland and is a 5th dan black belt.

Punching and kicking cuases special breathing to get the power you need. You also need to have a loud kiahi which is a yell from the stomach to make you punch harder. A Gi or suit can cost you up to $50.00 for the suit and $7.80 for a belt, but the cost changes with size.

The Grass Looks Greener on the Other Side The day our new neighbours moved in next door we could tell they were of the uppercrust nature. My mates and I went and watched the removal van back up and watched the men in white coats carefully unload the furniture.

First out of the van came a dirtless white settee that looked about three metres long. Next out came a video, a video game, a T.V., king size bed and other things . . another van pulled up and unloaded antiques and family heirlooms.

All of a sudden a beautiful B.M.W. pulled up and out came the family; mum, dad, brother and sister all walked up to their house and went in without even saying hello.

My mates and I looked at each other, reading the other's mind.

"Boy I'd love to live in that place. They must be loaded." said Wayne.

Over the next few days I kept visiting their son who was an alright guy, but one day he said, "Next week we're going to move again and sell our things. Dad lost his job and we're over $100,000 in debt. I thought to myself, "But they're so rich!"

After they moved it turned out to be a rent-a-car B.M.W. and the heirlooms were being moved out not in. So their family really wasn't much better than ours.

Monday 16 February: Sports Day Dear Journal, It's Sports Day today, the sun's shining and there', a cloud in the sky, just the perfect kind of weather for even\,, I' to enjoy themselvos and have some fun.

Now it you want to cony the doe you had to have the right gear, so I rushed around getting my shorts, and T shirt, togs, zinc and of course plenty of cold drink!

The bell rang for form check. We were told about the various activities we would be participating in, and their locations.

Our first activity was stationed at B7, egg and spoon race. This was fun but required a steady hand! Next was stack the pole. The idea was to stack the pole with 5 tyres and take them off as many times as you could. Our class was quite successful and so the day went on with a terrific range of tun activities. Everybody enjoyed themselves; but those who never, well that was their own fault.

On the whoe my form class 5GL did well and I will certainly be looking forward to our next sports day.

3rd & 4th FORM DANCE June 30th. It is a cold and windy night at the scene 01 the third and

fourth form dance being held at the Manurewa High School hall.

This was to be the second dance at Manurewa High School this year and this one is being used to raise money for the 1st Eleven

hockey team which is travelling to Christchurch for a hockey tournament in the August holidays.

The dance started at 7.30p.m. and finished at 10.30pm. The dance was supervised by teachers, prefects and members of the 1st XI hockey team and to make sure no pupils sneaked out to get into any trouble, the school had security guards lurking around the school.

To make sure the dance was a success they employed a few rules such as No Smoking, No Outsiders and No Dangerous Dancing.

79- # 1\ Nj• 7:

I had gone to the first dance at the beginnning of the year. I thoroughly enjoyed myself there, so I thought I might as well go along to this one and see what it was like, here's what I thought. It

started off fairly well but was spoilt quite a bit by the Disk Jockey playing a few scratched records but after that the music ran smoothly with quite a few good songs being played and the rest of the kids seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. I had just as much fun at this one as I did at the other.

Indoor Cricket •

Yesterday we played cricket indoors, Against a team called the Out Laws.

With blindfolds and bats and balls of all sorts We went to the Holmes Road cricket courts We were told that the team could play well before, But they were soon to find, they'd have a lot of trouble playing when they were blind.

They kept on banging into each other and tipping over the wickets.

In the mean time we were enjoying thrashing them at cricket The other team bowled heaps of wides and gave us more runs.

But to their dismay, we bowled them out and We were going great guns.

Any doubts or misgivings about winning we'd had, Jumped straight off the pitch for we were glad.

Then the unpire announced the end of the game, We'd won by 96 points which was just about our aim.

Winter - The Effects

Impressions of Winter

The steady drumming of rain on the tool makes people reluctant to leave their warm and cosy beds. While the majority of the population get up and face the cold and dreary world, a minority burrow hack down and continue sleeping.

Outside in the street people hurry by - heads tucked down, sheltering from the wind and rain - intent on reaching a dry area.

Saturday morning, 7.00a.m., I wake up, "Oh Cud" I think, "I've got a game!" I rush around getting the team colours of blue and yellow on. Finally dressed, I listen to the radio. The announcer's voice pronounces, "Franklin Boys' soccer, all games cancelled due to bad weather", The thought of Thundercats disrupts my TV viewing.

As I lie in bed, listening to the radio and the raindrops on the roof,

I wonder what I could possibly do in this hopeless weather. "Super

What better way to start the day than to jump over puddles littered along the pavement and road or to dodge the spray from passing traffic.

Strike's open, I could go there," I think, "I'll ring up Aisea!". So I ring up Aisea and what do you know, he can't come because he's got a flippin' cold. Jeez, I hate winter.

Shouts and screams of laughter waft through the air as csuherant children enjoy the aftermath of the rain, frisking and frolicking like newly born spring lambs.

I look outside at puddles forming in the backyard, thinking. "Chris'll be out there soon, purposely getting dirty, might go for a walk."

But on the roads its a different story. Traffic is at a crawl because of the wet roads and accidents caused by careless driving and the weather. By the time many people finally reach their place of work they will have witnessed or seen the aftermath of an accident.

The rain will evaporate from the roads but the memory of th e carnage will remain forever.

I get my jacket on and stop outside. Hells bells! it starts pouring with rain, so I go back inside and look at the Listener.

There is only one reason I like winter, Soccer!, the sport of sports. I love the game, keeps me fit. In some ways, I'm glad the game was cancelled, because of the weather the way it is. I remember last year, about the same time, playing Otara in sheets of hail and rain, we won ten-nil.

There's only one good thing to do in the weather, Zzzzzzlll

Winter The pounding of the rain on the iron roof, Heaters on, Fires burning to keep you warm. fuddled on the couch with a blanket Watching "Miami Vice", wishing it wasn't winter

As I cut across the park my shoes become wet as the brittle frost turns to water. The frosty morning air sends tingles through my unprotected fingers.

Kids inside, sitting by the fire drinking hot milo Hating hot cake, Waiting for the sun to appear ro dry up the rain So the kids can go outside.

I look above and see a newly born sky which is coloured a magnificent pale blue. Suddenly I'm jolted back to progress by a long stream of metal and steel monsters that are humming and making all the other sounds that cars make. They carry all their owners to work and many fail to see the tranquil scene that they pass unknowingly everyday.

Dad's at work Sitting in his office, heater on, Drinking coffee, keeping warns, Getting paid for it.He's doing his job But not liking it, He wants be to home, With his family.

On my way to school I pass many contrasts, paddocks and buildings, clear skies and gas expelling cars, but most of the time I'm still asleep and I hardly notice anything.

WINTER

WINTER IMPRESSIONS While walking to school I pass many trees and shrubs. Some stand twisted and distraughted, naked of leaves and casting eerie shadows u pon the ground. Many old and wrinkled leaves lie upon the ground, carpeting the area around deserted trees.

The teacher's explaining how the Maoris lived t List would much rather look out the window at trees swaying gently yet vigorously in the strong, cold wind. Birds flying rapidly to take cover, out of the cold, wet rain drops. Looking at the brown, colourful leaves falling down into tiny puddles and becoming slimey, horrible and slushy. Watching the view light up when the lightning strikes and listeneing to the sharp yet dull noise of the thunder.

"Class dismissed!" yelled the teacher, so we could hear him over the noise of the school bell and twittering of the birds nearby.

The rain stopped before I reached the open, fresh air of winter which made me happier than I was already. The day was just the same as any other winter day in 1987 to everybody else, but to me it was different, watching people walk through puddles talking about the cold temperature today, people not wearing any raincoats.

Watching the little children from the primary school running with their big, bright raincoats on, to get out of the cold miserable weather.

I was exhausted when I finally reached our house, it took me fifty minutes to reach warmth of the house that day, probably because I was in a dream about winter, so cold and wet but beauti 50 Kirstie McRae 3BG

THE SUDDEN STORM Sand ripples through my fingers like time The sun is peaceful and warm, on my face. Softly, silently I walk.

Seagulls soaring up in the deep blue sky, Huge pine trees whisper in the breeze And deep green waves, break, and pass by.

Then like a thrashing curse the tide heaves and snatching waves come bearing down, rushing towards me.

What was once soft sand now stings my eyes, the seagulls cry up in the thunderous sky And the trees bow their heads in the storm.

Now the sea is calm again.

And the miles of sand and shells are still, Like a barren island where no one dwells, I look around and smile, this is where 1 like to be.

Alone by the sea.

Mr Slack and Mrs Lamb took 21 school pupils to the Manukau Secondary School's Swimming Sports.

The outstanding swimmers in the shool team were: Karen Kennedy 4th Form Mathew Filipo 5th Form Michael Smith 5th Form

The team entered in 44 events and took part in 24 finals.

Altogether, 15 places were gained in the final events:

The outstanding win for the team was the SEnior Soya' Relay. They beat Rosehill College (by a touch), who had earlier in the day broken the standing record.

MANURE'S NISH SCHOOL IST XI =CAST

Another challenging season was faced by 12 talented female cricketers this year.

Practices seemed limited to 5-6 people once a week whose batting and field skills showed vast improvement as a result of this extra effort.

The team led by Captain Sally Fox (and vice-captains Katie Martin and Sonya Booth) enjoyed the field preparation preceding each home game, which included the tasks of raking cut grass 10cm high off the wicket and marking out a boundary aided by a hammer and wooden stakes.

This sort of pre-game warm up obviously did nothing for our morale and this was unfortunately reflected in our results. However a lot of fun was had in simply trying to raise the previous week's score.

Mrs Chan's efforts must not be dismissed. Once again she accepted the challenge of acting as our coach and congratulations must be offered to her for this fine coaching ability, patience (a must with rebels like us) and a great improvement in her bowling (ha ha) ability.

An enjoyable season was had by all members.

CROSS COUNTRY REPORT Once again this has been a good year for the small but enthusiastic cross country teams.

Tracey Fisher was our only representative at Fielding for the New Zealand Cross Country Championship. Out of 350 starters Tracey finished a very creditable 26th.

August saw our own School Cross Country championship held most successfully on the rather swampy farm next to the school.

Some great races eventuated and with the senior school being purely voluntary there was more hard running and less holding hands this year.

1987 SCHOOL CHAMPIONS

Junior Girls - Tracey Fisher Junior boys - Scott Ridder Intermediate Girls - Vanessa Olsson Intermediate Boys - Peter O'Brien Senior Girls - Sally Sharp Senior Boys - Nathan Davis At Wesley College in September the Manurewa team performed very well. Tracey Fisher was again our star with an easy win, but the rest of the team had to work hard to gain second place in the team event with Raewyn Fox 6th, Angela Willimans eleventh and Tracey Craig eighteenth. Our junior boys team of Scott Ridder tenth, Brett Kimpton fifteenth, Reuben Overall nineteenth and Matthew Clark twenty seventh, finished in third place. Nathan Davis was the best of our intermediates with a hard run seventh followed by Wayne Young twenty third, John Cuptill, thirty fourth and Peter O'Brien thirty fifth. Our thanks to Vanessa Olsson for running as well.

Three of our runners Tracey Fisher, Raewyn Fox and Nathan Davis were selected to race at St. Kentigern College in the Auckland Champs. Tracey Fisher was very unlucky to lose a shoe in the only mud hole on the course while leading the race. After losing 100m and eight places, she recovered well to finish in sixth place. Raewyn ran very well for twenty seventh place. Nathan Davis also lost his shoe but recovered well to finish thirty first. Mr Craig would like to thank all who were involved, with a special thanks to the hardy few, who turn up for training at the gym every Wednesday morning at 7.30am.

Our team will be going to McLeans College on October 17th to compete in the Auckland Schools Road Championships.

Good Luck.

SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY TEAM On Tuesday 23 June, with Mr Craig, the school cross-country team of seven boys and four girls travelled by mini-bus to the Auckland waterfront to compete in the Worldwide Olympic Day Run. When we arrived we got famous Olympian's signatures eg. John Walker, Ian Ferguson etc. Most of the Olympians ran in the 1 kilometre Fun Run. We had to run along the Auckland waterfront and up Queen Street and finish up at Aotea Square .

The run had over 1000 people competing in it. Pupils from all different High schools attended the run and had an enjoyable day.

Some people walked but the majority of us ran.

The course was hilly and flat. It was exhausting for some and just a fun jog for others.

Every runner who competed in the race was given a free t-shirt. At the end of the race we were given free cokes to cool off.

Every runners' face was red and looked exhausted. You could hear people 'huffing' snd 'puffing'. Sweat was just pouring down from peoples' faces.

On the whole I think that our school team enjoyed themselves and were relieved to get to the finishing line.

Notable Achievement BRENT PETRIE - Brent started gymnastics at the age of five and this gave him much confidence and skills of co-ordination. But after some six years he decided that he needed a change, so at the beginning of 1986 he joined trampolining. Like gymnastics it was very enjoyable and Brent was able to take part in many cometitions for age groups and between schools. In gymnastics Brent had also taken part in the National Competitions.

This year Brent trialled for the New Zealand Trampolining team.

Held at the Mt Albert Hall, 65 sportspeople were chosen out of the approximately 150 hopefuls. Brent was one of those 65, gaining selection in the Auckland Team for trampolining, and selection in the New Zealand Team for Double Mini Tramp. The Double Mini Tramp is similar to that used for propulsion over a vaulting horse, and in this case requires a run up, a quick exercise and then landing.

The Auckland and New Zealand teams will travel on August 8 to Australia for the Pan-Pacific Competition. While in Brisbane the teams will compete against Australia and other Pacific countries until their return twelve days later.

Brent is highly complimentary about his coach Nigel Humphries at the Icon Trampolining Club who has helped him to this creditable level. Brent practises twice a week at the club in Tamaki and Glen Innes, and some 10-15 from this club have been selected along with Brent in the New Zealand team. Conratulations on your achievement Brent.

My First Impressions of M.H.S. I thought it was a very big place. I felt out of place because it was a new school. Although the feeling was rather strange I still felt a bit good about myself. I felt good because I was learning that in order to become a new person I had to fit in with other creeps.

R. Baker 3CH The first day of school was really dumb, coming to a school three times the size of Manurewa Intermediate. I was meeting new people and walking around a big school, looking for my friends. I couldn't find them because there were so many kids. One good thing about the first day was the tuck shop.
