It has been some time since the last issue of the Newsletter due to difficulties experienced with the transfer of our records to a new computer system.

The delay has, however, given us time to rethink the format and content of this publication. A regular feature we would like to introduce is Trinity in the 20s (or whatever decade is applicable). We are very grateful to Dr John Carre Riddell ('48) who has provided us with some fascinating photographs of his father's taken sometime between 1908 and 1913.

Consett Carre Riddell was in Trinity during that time, and was Senior Student in 1913.

We invite you to share your experiences at College with us. Please include a photograph if possible. In the May issue of 1984 (No. 24) we published Reginald Stock's recollections of the closing of the Buttery in 1933 and we hope to publish many more such stories.

Life at Trinity is still as rich and varied as ever it was as can be seen from the diversity of articles in this edition. Sport, music, drama, educational ventures, and even study, form part of this special world at Trinity where life-long friendships are made. What Trinity offers can perhaps be summed up in a College Song introduced in the 1970s and set to a melody from Gustav Ho1st's The Planets. Both this and the traditional song Fill up your foaming glasses are used on special Trinity occasions.

Where Bishops' lifts its ivy'd tower and Clarke's long cloisters run, The College oak stands spreading forth its branches to the sun.

And here are joy and laughter, and loyal friends as well; The Bulpadock rejoices in our efforts to excel.

And when'er we think on all these things, wherever we may be, We shall raise our voices higher, and sing of Trinity.

DR SANYA VIRAVAIDHYA PATTAYA'S MOST FAMOUS DOCTOR-CUM-BUSINESS MAN IS A TRINITY MAN

Out there, no one is interested to know whether or not you've got an honours degree. You'll be judged only on your work performance and your character," said Dr. Sanya Viravaidhya, a former Trinity student during an interview with a Thai language magazine, Business Leader in the March 1989 issue. Dr Sanya is the subject of the cover story.

Born into a medical family (his grandfather and parents were all doctors of medicine), Dr. Sanya, as the Thais call him, came to study at Geelong Grammar School at the age of twelve. After matriculation, he then attended The University of Melbourne where he graduated with a medical degree in 1970. He availed himself of the Trinity medical tutorials, for which one of the tutors was Tony Buzzard, who recently met him in Thailand.

Sanya then spent his internship at the Austin Hospital and worked for one year in the Emergency Medical Service before returning to his home country, Thailand, in 1972.

While his older brother, Mechai Viravaidhya also a graduate from the University has become a wellknown international figure in the field of Family Planning, Sanya made his mark in Pattaya, the fastest growing international resort of Thailand.

Outside the Thai Royal Family, the two brothers are among the best known Thai citizens.

Having foreseen the urgent need for a modern medical clinic to cope with the increasing number of overseas tourists, Sanya resigned from Bangkok's Ramathibodee Hospital where he had been working for two years after returning home from Australia, and opened a small clinic at this popular resort.

From a humble start with limited capital, three staff members and what he described as "b .... hard work," Sanya's Pattaya International Clinic has gradually expanded into a medium size hospital. Its services include a Family Planning Section where free consultation is given to low income families.

When asked about Pattaya's health problems in relation to overseas tourists and the so-called "Pattaya girls", Sanya said "Many patients come to us to be checked for venereal diseases. Some might bring their Thai girl friends to be examined as a safety precaution. Our equipment is modern and we are very thorough with the tests. No result would be given unless we were 100% sure."

Fifteen years have passed since his arrival in Pattaya, and he is now married with two young children.

Sanya's interests include the following companies: the Pattaya International Clinic, the Lotus holidays, Mechai Clinic Pattaya, the Transworld International, Boonyachai Pattaya and the Pattaya International Hospital.

"The growth of my business is due largely to good team work" explained Sanya. "In fact, it is not so very large but it is based on firm foundations. This gives us confidence for the future."

A keen golfer, bicycle-rider and long-distant runner, Dr. Sanya Viravaidhya conclĂşded the interview with the following words, "I consider any kind of work, be it medical or not, as business, and I always give my best to everything I do."

OVERSEAS STUDENTS AT TRINITY 4 A RESIDENT STUDENT'S PERSPECTIVE

The Foundation Year Program has been established

by Trinity College to prepare overseas students who are completing secondary studies in their home countries for successful tertiary study in Australia.

This exciting initiative, involving 60 students in 1990 from Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Brunei, was launched on May 28th this year with a ceremony in the College Hall. Senior members of the University of Melbourne, the College Council, and staff and students of the program were present. Musical items were performed by the Trinity College Choir and by an ensemble involving students and staff of the Foundation Year Program.

All participants have successfully completed six years of secondary schooling or the equivalent and will undertake a Foundation Studies Program in English, History of Ideas, Mathematics and one or two electives in preparation for higher education next year. Admission to The University of Melbourne will depend on students attaining the required results.

All students are non-residents of Trinity College, and live in student houses or with relatives. Various social and sporting activities throughout the year have brought the extended Trinity family together, as

we discovered common interests and exciting differences. The resident student community has shown great support, and we look forward to 1991.

As with any new venture, there have been teething problems, and these have been tackled vigorously.

Unfortunately, the opportunity of living or sharing moments with an Australian family is an experience we cannot readily provide for all our students. The chance to be involved in family life, particularly with a family closely associated with Trinity, would offer a warmth and comfort they cannot find in a student environment.

Should you wish to enrich your involvement with the College by hosting a student from the Foundation Program for a weekend or longer, please contact Carmelle Le Vin, Deputy Director, on 347-1044 (BH) Trinity welcomes the opportunity to participate in a program which brings talented students from the Asia Pacific Region into the College as we work together in the quest for academic excellence and enduring friendships.

YOONG BOON KOON A popular figure in Foundation Studies circles, Boon Koon is preparing for studies in Medicine in 1991.

A Malaysian citizen, educated at the Catholic Junior College in Singapore, Boon Koon achieved outstanding results in his GCE 0-level examinations, and easily qualified to enter the Program. This year he is undertaking a demanding course including English Literature, History of Ideas, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. In order to take up a place in Medicine in 1991 he must achieve average marks of at least 95%.

In spite of this pressure Boon Koon makes time for involvement in student affairs. He is a member of the elected student committee, and is much in

demand as unofficial photographer with the magnificent camera that is his pride and joy.

There are many more students like Boon Koon and they do much for the image of Trinity at home and abroad.

TIME AND BEYOND TIME Apart from life itself many would say that the most precious gift is time, because every one's time is limited and its extent unknown.

Furthermore, it is relative. As years mount, the more fleeting time seems.

"Whilst we have time", is a thought-provoking scriptural phrase that reminds us not to procrastinate in doing now what we ought to do - even in deciding whom or what we should help and support when time in this life ends.

Trinity College is the kind of institution that may go on for centuries provided that each generation of Trinity graduates assists in the process of maintaining it.

When planning or next revising your will, please remember the Trinity College Foundation and

then notify the Foundation's Bequest Officer of your intention.

8 TRINITY COLLEGE MUSICAL IN 1990

"The Jets" in action in "Westside Story" (back) Tom Wild, Antony Strong, Scott Vickers Willis, Mike Flattery, Geoff Daley (front) Bruce Sutherland, Angus Smallwood, Cam Jones, Richard Standish, Andrew Bradheer Trinity College Musical Theatre Society put on the musical West Side Story this year, its most ambitious project to date. The show was a huge success, not only in financial terms, but also in terms of education and performance levels.

Many new actors were introduced in this show and a couple of old stagers were dragged out of mothballs for yet another year.

In terms of performance, this show was the best thing that the TCMTS has ever attempted, and the pleasure of the capacity audiences at the end of each show reflected that.

There were many fine performances: The Jets (always the greatest) were a solid combination who looked and sounded good, especially

Richard Standish as Riff, and Angus Smallwood as Action; The Sharks, ably led by James Porteous as Bernardo, were the perfect foil for The Jets; The two lead romantic roles were performed superbly by Kathy Rekaris and Richard Bootle; and the adult character parts, played mainly by rugby players, were all performed with distinction.

This was a musical which displayed the levels at which College students can perform, not just the actors but also the wonderful orchestra, the people backstage and the production team (Susie King, Georgia Richter and David 'Kip' Laycock) especially.

The men have performed admirably this year to achieve third place in the overall trophy, Cowan Cup. While we managed only two victories, rowing and hockey, Trinity was runners up in five other sports.

These included athletics, rugby, soccer, volleyball and seconds rowing. Certainly, we could have won some of these finals and Trinity must next year work toward obtaining the "sureties" and snatching the "marginals".

The rowing team was outstanding in its triumph on the river being far too good for all other oncomers.

The hockey win against Newman, the last sport for the year, was most satisfying. Trinity, the favourites after quashing a very confident Ormond in the semi,

found themselves 1-0 down at the start of the second half. Showing a quality many Trinity teams have lacked in the past, they were able to overcome their poor form and seal a brilliant 2-1 victory.

The recent rugby final was indeed an epic battle.

Trinity, the underdog, was a fair match for Ormond with the score at 9- all when full time was called.

An extra 10 minutes each way saw Ormond manage two tries to our one. Trinity may stand proud however for they played with incredible determination and endurance in a courageous loss.

This year has proved Trinity to be fine competition and hopefully next year we can have the Cowan Cup to show for our efforts.

THE ANDREW SPRAGUE BURSARY io AWARD FOR PHOTOGRAPHY AND ARCHIVES

"The young who die are bound to us who stay behind quite particularly through the sense of the future .. . if there is the courage to experience the future, the relationship can work powerfully into the doings of life."

The quotation comes from a passage read at the dedication of a plaque in memory of Andrew Noel Mervyn Sprague in the College Chapel, 4 October, 1989. A photographic bursary has now been established in his name.

Among his many talents, Andrew was a skilled photographer and has already recorded his love of nature and animals in an impressive collection of photographic images.

In establishing a Trinity Bursary for Photography and Archives, Andrew's mother Mrs Susan Stribling, and his brother, Mr Steven Sprague, have indeed shown the courage to experience the future" and provided a practical means by which Andrew's relationship with the College can continue to work "powerfully into the doings of its daily life".

This bursary is to be awarded annually to a student

who shows outstanding ability in photography and an interest in College history, archives and records.

The bursary holder is required to attend and take black and white photographs and colour slides of all major sporting and cultural events. The photographs will be mounted in an album annually. Copies of the photographs may be reproduced for sale within the College on behalf of the Photography Club and may also be reproduced in Heur-de-Lys and other Trinity publications.

The Bursary became available this year and was awarded to Geoffrey William Burge for 1990.

Geoffrey (a Dentistry student) has been an active member of the Photography Club for some years, and was its elected President in 1989. Already a familiar figure, camera in hand, at College events, Geoffrey, as the first Andrew Sprague Bursary holder, has seemed quite ubiquitous this year! His prints have enriched the Photography Club's displays of events for student orders, and he will be presenting the first official album to the College.

HENRY SPEAGLE ('46) has donated to the Leeper Library a copy of A Light in the Hills, his recent history of St Michael's Church, Kalorama, meticulously written and edited, as we would expect from the former editor of the Victorian Year Book, and valuable as much for its social as for its ecclesiastical insights. As a founding member of the Victorian Prayer Book Society, Henry is delighted that the Book of Common Prayer continues in use in the Trinity Chapel at least three times each week.

JOHN POYNTER ('48) former Dean of Trinity and more recently Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) of the University of Melbourne, has been appointed Dean of a new Faculty of Music, Visual and Performing Arts from the beginning of next year. The new Faculty is the result of an amalgamation of the Faculty of Music of the University and the Victorian College of the Arts.

Ross NANKIVELL ('62) has taken up a permanent appointment as Assistant Dean at Emory University School of Law, Atlanta, Georgia in the USA. We

At the end of his secondment he expects to return to Freehills in Melbourne. He writes that he cannot walk down the streets of London without running into Trinity members from his own vintage. Within one week he encountered Lisa Stewart, Michael Pickering, Craig Brown and Julian Mitchell.

ALEXANDER Sam ('81) has returned to the Diocese of Perth in a temporary full-time capacity as locum tenens of the Parish of Mukinbudin/Mt Marshall until the middle of the year. After that, he thinks it is likely that he shall be returning to non-stipendiary secular employment, but in a different field altogether.

DOM PHILLIP TURNBULL, OSB ('87) was ordained to the sacred priesthood on 21 July in the Cathedral Church of Christ the King in Ballarat, in a service conducted by the Lord Bishop of Ballarat, The Right Reverend Bishop Hazlewood. The service was attended by a large number of Trinity College students, staff and tutors. The Reverend Dr Richard McKinney, Director of the Trinity College Theological School, preached a moving sermon on "I am the light of the world". The ordination ceremony ended on a somewhat unorthodox high note, when some Trinity students spontaneously broke into a Trinity war cry. It was a well-intentioned gesture of appreciation for Dom Phillip, who will be sadly missed among the current resident community.

Long-term resident tutor IAN ROSE ('85) left College at the end of first semester to take up a position with the Patent Office in Canberra. Ian's many contributions to College life included a two-year term as President of the SCR, assistance with coordination of the Tutorial programme, voluntary work on the Fire Protection Committee and participation in the Men's Rowing. Students, staff and fellow tutors were sad to see Ian leave, and wish him all the best for the future. â–
