CAPTAIN'S REPORT1969 is a year that those closely associated with

M.L.C. are not likely to forget. In more ways than one, we have lived up to our motto, "Per Ardua Ad Alta"—"Strive for the Highest".

It has been a period of great changes, the most predominant being the Sixth Form System. In this way, we have striven to enable all sixth formers to gain the maximum from school life.

The spirit shown in creating this system is what we want to see continued throughout all facets of the college. We are not only concerned about sixth formers gaining all they can from their schooldays— this is important for every girl. The way to achieve this is to do away with half-heartedness. We should be proud to contribute our best effort, not only in sport and other club activities, but in our studies, our own conduct, and in our support and interest for others.

Every girl has her own individual aim in life but surely there is one aim we all have in common—to give and to obtain the utmost. In fulfilling this aim our years at school are a rewarding beginning.

Per Ardua Ad Alta"—Give to the world your best.

EDITORIALWe want to say something about tradition, about

the tradition of this particular school. M.L.C. is sixty-two years old. Tradition haunts any school this age, but all too often becomes a restrictive force. People resent its limitations on their "individuality".

Tradition must not become a mere mechanical thing imposed from the past. It cannot be forcibly impressed on anyone. It must come from within, from a continuing spirit in the school. Probably some people think that these days we are ignoring, or even destroying school tradition. Admittedly, for example, we haven't had prefects this year. But tradition is more than this. Tradition is spirit. And we hope that the changes made in the school actually indicate that that spirit is still thriving.

There is so much energy here. For instance the interest in music in recent years has been terrific , . . from the least ambitious entries in the Heather

Lamont Festival to the latest fourth-year venture— an opera, no less.

And this year's Miss Collegian campaign was the best ever (in fact, it was the first ever). The support candidates had in their drive for original writing was really good (admittedly the numbers were boosted by thirty-seven poems from one particular girl!). One result of this support was "The Eagle". Four ener­getic fourth years waded through hundreds of entries and finally produced two Collegian supplements.

Of course there are times when spirit and loyalty to the school seem to be flagging. But there is always activity (subversive or otherwise) and that's the important thing. The activity shows the spirit, and the spirit is the tradition.

As for the Collegian . . . well, you can judge for yourself. But it has been our attempt to reflect what is healthy in the spirit of M.L.C.

Let our motto be: "Kill Apathy!"

STAFF NOTESNewcomers to the teaching staff this year included

Mr. V. Cooper (in charge of chemistry), Mrs. S. Simons (biology and physiology), Mrs., M. Glenister and Miss R. Fallon (history and English), Mrs. C. Mercer (English), Mrs. M. Klopf (economics and Latin), and Mrs. J. Glasgow (who joined the staff at the end of second term to teach modern languages). Miss L. McPherson, who transferred from Barclay House to the senior school at the beginning of the year, left at the end of second term to further her language studies overseas.

We also lost the services of a popular sports mis­tress, Miss K. Heagney, who left at the end of second term to undertake voluntary work at the Beagle Bay Mission. She is at present teaching in Broome and finds the work interesting and challeng­ing. Miss Olive Doran, mistress in charge of the boarding house, also left during the year to take a responsible administrative job in a hospital in New

Guinea. The boarding house is now in the hands of Miss Ross.

This year is Mrs. L. Hill's last at M.L.C., Clare­mont, as she is joining the staff at Penrhos in 1970 to take charge of English. We wish her a happy and successful time there. Mr. Cooper is also leaving us, after only one year, to become headmaster of Kobeelya. Mrs. Klopf is going to Oxford to complete Ph.D. studies. Mrs. O. Graham, whose services to the library have been so valuable, is to retire at the end of the year, as is Mr. D. Richardson. Mrs. J. Gibson, who has been running the physiology de­partment so successfully for the past five years, is also retiring, as she is expecting her first baby in April.

Our American staff member, Miss C. Morre, has decided to take up permanent residence in W.A. After a quick trip home to the U.S. in December, she will be married to a Narrogin farmer early in the new year. Best wishes, ‘Miss Morre, from us all.

LETTERS to the EDITOR

Dear Editor,

The Student's Representative Council, as most of the school will probably know, was found­ed in 1967 and from this date onwards has proved itself to be a successful body voicing stud­ent opinion; and in doing so is helping to establish smooth working relationships between students and staff members. However, with due respect to all the valuable work which the teachers and student represent­

atives have done, I feel that as secretary of the Student Council various suggestions should be made to the students so that the function of the Council will continue to be profitable for teachers and stud­ents alike.

Particularly noticeable on recent Council agendas is the increasing number of relatively insignificant topics which have been handed in to the secretary for discussion at Student Council Meetings. One can­not help feeling that these items would be more appropriately discussed with the form teacher during the weekly form periods which have been allocated to all senior classes for this particular purpose. This suggestion is made in all sincerity because there is a general feeling amongst the senior and more experi­enced student representatives that too much time is being taken up during Council meetings with the discussion of trivial matters such as the width of hair ribbons and the size and colour of watchbands. Naturally, student concern in the field of fashion and uniform is bound to exist, but surely matters involv­ing this topic could be discussed during the form period rather than Council meetings. In fact, occupy­ing Council meetings with these time-consuming items could, in turn, result in the malfunctioning of the Council because, it could, and indeed does, leave little time for discussion of more basic and important issues.

Various changes in Council procedure appear in­evitable at this point of the Council's existence. One of these is that the honour of being student secretary should become strictly a fourth year privilege. This is because it is only really a fourth year student who has enough spare time to maintain communications between the chairman, the teachers and the student representatives of the Council, combined with an ade­quate command of English to write a concise and brief record of the various meetings.

Another change that is inevitable is the issuing of duplicate copies of the secretary's minutes to all

student representatives and any staff members on the Student Council who are interested in reading them. This will enable representatives to report to their classes a concise and factual account of Council pro­ceedings. Under the present system, class representa­tives usually take notes during the various meetings and report back to their classes with these. However, the danger in this, is that occasionally important points can be missed or rulings misunderstood, espe­cially by the younger student members of the Council.

Finally, a further change which is perhaps more necessary than inevitable, is the publishing of the intended Council Agenda approximately a week before the Council meets, to enable students to discuss topics with their various class representatives during the form period so that student members of the Council can voice, with confidence, the opinion of their classes during a meeting. During Student Coun­cil meetings, the chairman occasionally asks to hear comments or criticisms about a topic being discussed. Yet a student representative, because she is either unprepared or unfamiliar with the item does not want to voice her own opinion which might possibly be contrary to that of her class and thus defeat her purpose as a representative, remains silent. This is a case where silence is not golden, as the situation either causes difficulty for the secretary recording the minutes of the meeting or appears as apathy on the part of the student body. It is, therefore, vitally important that students are well-informed about the opinion of their classes and the topic or topics to be discussed so that they can participate with the other Student Council members in fruitful discussion.

In conclusion, it is hoped that the suggestions pre­sented here might perhaps be acknowledged by future representative members because it is obviously only through student enthusiasm and effort that the exist­ence of the Student Representative Council can remain profitable.

L. A. DOUGLAS-SMITH.

LETTERS — Continued

Dear Editor,

Frustrated, bored, lethargic! Trying to struggle through "The Fire Next Time" I find that the words keep blurring, running into one another. It is Mon­day, a free period. Today for me, and for many other Leavings, the time has dragged, crawling second by second, like a snail playing leapfrog. The week­end has passed, our dance has passed—just click! it's finished.

The dance wasn't really a success. Everyone had to make their own fun; no enjoyment could be absorb­ed, by us, from the band. They were "average"— we (the majority) didn't expect more after the un­democratic election. All the girls turned out in their formal gear, with their hair done up or out, maybe a little more makeup than usual. As each girl and her escort slid in, the eyes of every girl in the hall swivelled to the door. The arrival's dress would be examined inch by inch—then criticised or praised; her hairstyle, set in great intricacy, the lacquered curls hiding 123 hairpins or the swinging, shining loose hair, would be examined—then criticised or praised; her face surmounted by greens and blues on eyelids, fake lashes, false lips, would be examined— then criticised or praised.

Finally the boy she was with—was he good-looking, masculine, even different? Did he smile, was he nerv­ous, was he conceited? Did he look intellectual? Did he pass?

The droning throb of the band, squeezed its way between the streamers; a few courageous people got up to dance, soon the whole floor was alive with swirling colours and people doing their own variations of the latest dance.

Supper came, supper went. People mingled a little, but mainly stayed with the crowd at their own tables. So the evening drifted away. Now there is nothing to remind us, nothing to remember. Just sore eyes from the blazing lights that sneaked into every corner, tiredness from pre-ball parties, post-ball parties and the like.

Most of the girls didn't enjoy themselves at the dance itself, some did; the general complaint was the weak band. Oh well! Let's hope the photos conjure up some memories—good ones!

A Disappointed 6th Former

Ed.; How about a few constructive ideas? I've only talked to 50 or 60 or 70 girls who had a good time, but nevertheless . . .

Dear Editor,

Sometimes I wonder what it is about Physics that makes Julie want to write poetry.

Ponderer

Dear Editor,

Once upon a time there were eleven girls at M.L.C. who wanted to play hockey. They got together and formed a team (and that of course is why there are eleven players in a hockey team). The school was rightly proud of its hockey team and gave the girls colours. They were the hockey players, then there were the basketball players, the swimmers and so on, but not many of each because there weren't many girls.

Now the situation is different. There are lots of hockey teams and lots of basketball teams, lots of swimmers and so on. But we still pretend that the "best" team is "the" team. And we even distinguish between the "best" players in the "best" team, and the "not so best" players in the "best" team. We do this by giving colours to the 'best" players in the "best" team. Isn't that just too, too ghastly and competitive.

Even the school play becomes a competition when some of the cast get drama colours and some don't. Which is silly since everyone knows it's all done by team-work.

And you never know, there may be some people who would do their best even if there was no prize.

Wordy

Ed.: This is a topic which might be discussed at a Representative Council meeting — the writer might be surprised at the number of girls who would want to retain the present arrangement.

Dear Editor,

I have just been to Student Council, and if I'm not frustrated! Look, they say they want to be able to trust us, but they don't trust us because they don't feel they can. But how can they trust us till they give us something to be trustworthy in?

Maybe I'm sticking my neck out, but take uniforms for instance. How many different uniforms have there been during my five years at this school? Six!! And now they're going to change it again! Who wears the uniform anyway? But do they ask our opinion? I feel like a guinea pig.

One committee has failed. How about trying one with students on it? Try trusting us.

T rustworthy

J.H.: "Trustworthy" is concerned over the changes in uniform in recent years. Perhaps she is not aware that the present design is in keeping with require­ments of climate and fashion trends; that material is dictated by availability from the manufacturer; and that the requirements of the boarding house bulk- laundering limit the type of material that can be used. When she has considered these points she might rea­lise that the solution of the uniform problem is neither quick nor easy.

BOARDING HOUSE NOTES

BOARDING HOUSE 6th FORMERS

Senior Boarder: J. Cusack.

Vice-Captain: K. Hastwell.

The feature of Boarding House life this year has been the unusually contented manner in which the boarders have accepted the fact that even though they are individuals they have to conform to basic requirements. Almost without exception the spirit has been tremendous. I feel that this has been achieved because the girls have not been regimented to the point of rebellion, but have been treated increasingly as adults, and the added responsibility and trust have possibly made them feel more a part of the school.

Miss Doran left after the first term, and took over the position of matron at the Port Moresby Hospital in June. Miss Ross, who had previously been second- in-charge, took over the position of Senior Boarding House Mistress. She has given her whole self to the boarders and I'm sure none of us fully realise what a marvellous job she has done. Miss Ross' door has always been open for anyone who needs any sort of help and guidance. Mrs. Smith left after first term, as did Miss Fallon. Second term found two new mis­tresses in the house—Mrs. Parker in West Wing and Mrs. Coleman in Middle Wing—both of them are popular with the girls.

Other boarding house staff—Mrs. Brooks (East Wing), Miss Robbins (Langsford), Miss Holmes (North Wing), Miss Petkovik (Langsford), Sister Beresford Smith, Miss Stott and Miss Morre.

Over all the boarders have done very well this year, participating in many sports and in the more cultural fields, as shown by the good performances of many boarders in the Heather Lamont Festival.

Thanks must go to all the boarding house mis­tresses and especially to Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd, both of whom have been wonderful to the boarders again this year, and have tried to make our "home away from home" as pleasant as possible.

To many boarders the close of 1969 will be just the end of one year and they'll wait for the beginning of the next—but for some of us this will be the end of our lives as boarders of M.L.C., and even though perhaps none of us could truthfully say "I've loved every minute"—we will all, I'm sure, be proud to say we went to M.L.C., and even prouder to say we were boarders, because, as we all know—"the boarding house is the backbone of the college."

Janet Cusack, Senior Boarder 1969

SIXTH FORM NOTESIn the good old days, when M.L.C. was smaller and friendlier, there was some point in the tradition of

prefects — the older girls helping the younger girls. But by the 1960s the school had grown, only a small proportion of the senior girls were prefects. There was the inevitable apathy among some of the non-prefects, and also the feeling that the system was unfair. A handful of girls had all the honour, and the other worthies missed out. The tradition was no longer valid. By 1968 things looked ripe for a change.

•

It is Wednesday, September 18, 1968 — exactly a month since the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact nations. The hail which fell in Claremont earlier in the morning is still on the lawns nearly an hour later. Everyone is very surprised.

On a cliff above the river a fourth year English class is sitting in a draughty classroom having its usual moan about the school rules. To their surprise Mrs. Campbell (for it is Mrs. Campbell) advocates action. For all their talk, the anarchist fourth years have never thought of really doing anything.

But now, wildly gesticulating girls spread the message. Violent arguments flare up whenever fourth years of opposing camps meet. Prefects? or no prefects?

All that healthy enthusiasm had to lead somewhere. The proposition that the whole sixth form should take over the duties of the prefects was put before the Students' Representative Council. In particular it was sup­ported, from the first, by several of the 1968 prefects.

After much discussion it was decided to try the system during the last few weeks of 1968. Each fourth year form was on duty for a week. The elected form captain arranged rosters and acted as liaison between staff and girls. The experiment was successful and was continued this year, with the difference that this year there has still been a Head Girl who shoulders many of the responsibilities that would otherwise belong to the formcaptain on duty, in practice a different girl each month. We must pay tribute to Jenny Little who has beenin a peculiar and difficult position and, with Janet Cusack's help, has handled it diplomatically and capably.

In some ways the year has been a success, in others — not so completely. There has still, at times, beendisinterest among some sixth formers, but there have been good moments. And it has been worth it for thedemocratic spirit and enthusiasm of even those few moments. Altogether there is a happier atmosphere in the sixth form, and it has not been as cliquy as it has been in other years. Besides drawing all seniors into school affairs, the system should be a step towards the friendlier, easier relations between staff and girls that must develop. And here we must thank Mr. Shepherd and all staff members who have encouraged us, in particular Mrs. Hosford for her patience and enthusiasm. Whatever you may think, we appreciate it.

Whatever happens next year, we have had our chance, and have got a lot out of it. Whether anyone else has got anything out of it is, of course, a different matter.

•

We tried to find out just how popular the new system is, but, you know, M.L.C. is a great place for variety of opinion., if for nothing else. Thus a fourth year informed us, with a gleam in her eye, that "sixth formers have got nastier"; while a second year (admittedly surrounded) assured us that "there are no swollen

heads in the sixth form."

A general feeling was that sheer weight of numbers ("they're all over the place") should make for efficient patrolling. But on the other hand there is the case of the formerly rebellious fourth year girl: "I haven't got

into as much trouble."

And as for sharing, one fourth year dismisses us all: "1 have no respect for any of the sixth form.

Two first years raised valid points. Firstly: "Some kids mightn't want to be in the system". And secondly, the indisputable fact that some sixth formers "don't wear their gloves themselves."

But on the whole we support the fourth year who knows its a better way of doing things because after

all: "prefects get hated."

SPEECH NIGHT 1968 J. BOWER

Speech Night 1968, the school's sixty-first, was held in the school grounds on December 10th. How­ever, the evening was to take a slightly different form from that which we had become accustomed to over the past few years, for it was decided to associate a display of work and activities with the evening. Ac­cordingly, the formal programme was shorter than it has been in recent years.

As it was his last speech night as chaplain of the school, the Rev. D. McCaskill took the chair, and Miss P. Church, warden of St. Catherine's College, was the official guest.

During the evening three less informal items were presented in the form of the school captain's "Reflec­tions", an extract from "Othello" presented by Judith Dunstan and Valerie Davies and the Choral Dance from "Prince Igor" presented by a group of girls from the school orchestra and choir.

The more official section of the evening came with

firstly the principal's report, in which Mr. Shepherd outlined the achievements of the past year, including the excellent work done by those staff members who took extra responsibility in his absence, and the pre­parations and experiments for the year(s) to come. The chairman's remarks followed and in an entertain­ing speech Rev. McCaskill reviewed his years of asso­ciation with M.L.C.—it seemed unfortunate that we were losing him and Alison Walker presented the school's farewell to him. Finally the prizes were dis­tributed by Miss Church who then spoke to us, men­tioning what she considered to be the justification for "church schools".

The formal part of the evening and of the school year, came to a traditional end with the singing of the school song. The audience, naps in hand, then dispersed to various parts of the school to look at, or to listen to, the various activities in which they or their daughters were interested.

FELLOWSHIP

L. to R.: S. Hannah, C. Hannah, S. Ingham.This year, contrary to other years, we have held

our meetings fortnightly, fitting in with Mrs. Ashley's music concerts. We have had a more varied pro­gramme. Our first meeting coincided with a film. At our next meeting at which our chaplain, Mr. Cox, presided, we elected our committee and office bearers. They are, myself, Carlie Hannah as president and Jeanie McNair as secretary; with members from most forms. At this point I wish to thank Miss Nelson for her continued support and guidance when we had brain blocks.

Our meetings, interspersed with films from the British and Foreign Bible Society, were varied and interesting. Such topics as Sally Green's talk on "Student Unrest", Father Barry Hickey's "Catholic Marriage", the staff panel on "What God Means to Me" spring to mind. The highlight of the year (to my mind) was Craig Etherington's invitation for some of M.L.C. girls to go to Christ Church for a discussion

on Infant Baptism and other modern theological points. It was a break and an exciting discussion and some heated arguments arose.

This term two camps are to be held, the first year camp and the second year camp. For guests this term we are asking Father David Collier from St. Andrew s Anglican Church, East Fremantle, to talk to us. We also hope to invite Sister M.J. Leonie, I.B.V.M., from Loreto Convent to talk on "What is and what makes for a good nun". We are having some exciting films this term so the term should be a good one although so short. C. Hannah

The sub-leaving fellowship camp was held at the Crippled Children's Seaside Home at Rockingham. About 40 girls blew into the camp on Friday, 28th March. Many distinguished guests, including Rev. H. Cox and Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd, were present. Rev. Cox was guest speaker and introduced all discussion groups on the topic of "Commitment to Life". Three study periods were held and a film was shown on Saturday night. After the expedition to, and subse­quent eat-out at Point Peron, many girls had diffi­culty in remaining awake, but, rather strange, no supper was left over. On Sunday morning several of the girls (anonymous) held a modern church service and, after the usual cleaning up (girls and camp alike), we left the site at about 3.15. Much sun­burnt and tired girls arrived at M.L.C. on Sunday evening and were joyously farewelled by exasperated

leaders.Although it is "customary" to thank the leaders,

special thanks must go to Miss Nelson for her lenient supervision on the two rowdy and sleepless nights. Thank you, Miss Nelson, and all others concerned with the leadership.

SUB-LEAVING DANCE

The dance this year was held early in second term

and was, as usual, enjoyed by the majority of girls. It was fairly casual dress, some of the girls wearing culottes and pant suits, and an informal supper was served.

Boarders and day girls and their partners mixed together and the band and decorations were both excellent.

Girls had lots of fun with the photographer and with their friends' partners and the whole night was a great success.

Matriculation Seminars 1968-69

The aim of these seminars was "to promote dis­cussion of major philosophical and sociological issues that are part of our modern world"—but tended to be glossed over at school in our exam-orientated courses.

A pilot seminar was held at M.L.C. in September, 1968. The result of its success was the organisation of two seminars in 1969. The first was held at Hollywood S.H.S. in April with the theme "The Family of Man" (e.g. "What should we do with grand­father?"). It was illuminating to see compared the loosely-knit Western "family" with some of the

Eastern society family groups which are so much more united. A good thing, or a bad thing?

The final seminar for fifth-year students was held at Perth Modern S.H.S. in July. The theme was "Man and his Modern Environment".

These seminars provide the opportunity for students from a wide variety of schools to discuss their ideas. Just meeting other students and talking must be beneficial, even if the results of the discussion aren't world shattering. These seminars are definitely a good thing though the problems of organisation are great. The hard-working committee under the chair­manship of Mr. J. Paul is to be thanked.

13

College Sunday 1969

The whole school gathered for this year's College Sunday at Wesley Church in Perth. The choir, led by Mrs. Ashley, presented several items, including numbers from Bach and Mendelssohn.

The address was given by the school chaplain, the Rev. H. J. Cox, and the two lessons were read by Jenny Little, school captain, and Mrs. Jean Parker, president of the Old Girls' Association.

Several variations were introduced this year, when Mr. Shepherd read selections from a school magazine, "The Eagle". The highlight of the afternoon was the uptempo version of Bach's "Sleepers Awake". The whole school joined together for this performance and were accompanied by Mr. Anderson, a talented staff member, on drums, and a professional bass player. Jane Taylor featured on flute.

CLUBS

DEBATING

L. to R.: G. Bremner, J. Cusack, Mrs. Hosford, L. Irvin, M. Eddington.

1969 proved to be another exciting year for the debating club. As the club increases in size each year, so the enthusiasm for debating increases.

First term's time-table was filled with social de­bates. Leaving and sub-leaving teams debated against St. Louis, Scotch, Guildford Grammar and Trinity.

During the second term house debates were held. These were closely fought and exciting, the final being between Troy and Olympia, Troy being vic­torious.

The League team, comprising Meredith Eddington, Janet Cusack, Linden Irvin and Gail Bremner, had a stimulating and very successful year. After winning the three first round debates, we went on to win the quarter-final. For the first time in many years M.L.C. reached the semi-final debate, only to be beaten by Scotch, who went on to win the Debating Cup—congratulations, Scotch.

This year would not have been what it was without the guidance and enthusiasm of Mrs. Hosford and Miss McPherson. They gave up their free time to help us and we thank them for making 1969 such an interesting and active year.

JUNIOR FARMERSThe year 1969 saw the start of the Junior Farmers

as an official school club. The club's 30 members began the year on a flying start, being the first club to have an activity. Mullaloo was our goal and even though we were not successful in any of the beach competitions against St. Louis and other Swan Valley Council clubs, everyone was blessed with a sun-tan! Our first speaker for the year was Mr. Carr from the Health Education Department, who gave us an interesting and well-appreciated talk on narcotics. He returned again to address our club by popular support and another speaker was Mr. Smith on the wheat quota.

A popular outing for the members was to Mr. Millar's equestrian school.

Our major occupation for the year was the pro­duction of the play "The Brute", with Chris Ryan, Lyn Letchford and Lorraine Davies taking the major parts. We were also very successful in the council debating tournament, being represented by Chris Ryan, Gail Braemar and Lorraine Daves.

On behalf of the president Megan McCormack and other club members, I would like to extend our heart-felt thanks to Miss Morre for her guidance and assistance throughout the year and wish our future club leaders all the best as the club enters its second and we hope even more successful year. L. Davies

DRAMA"When I'm out there I'm not myself. It's so nice

being able to relax in someone else's skin." (Abigail.)

"Midsummer Night's Dream" was our attempt at escape. If we achieved relaxation for even a few moments up there, then it was a success for us. As for you, the audience . . . only you can say.

First term saw the casting. At this stage it was difficult to imagine Rosemary Sands as a delicate fairy queen; and sweet Geraldine Cook—a handsome

male lover? Gail Smith as Moonshine? And would Tricia Stott be a capable fairy? So many doubts . . . and how much of it was typecasting anyway? The male stars were convinced of their good looks. They definitely were handsome . . . er . . . pretty . . . er . . . confusion reigned.

Rehearsals seemed long and numerous, but worth it for the fun of opening and closing nights. We hope our hard-working producer thought so, too. Mrs. Braunsdorf—thank you.

MUSICThere has been much activity in both the choir

and the orchestra this year, which has been very re­warding for all involved. The orchestra has continued to grow and many girls have started to learn more unusual orchestral instruments.

"The Marble Guest", which was an adaptation of Mozart's "Don Giovanni", was presented by the Music Club in second term. It was a gay, colourful produc­tion. The leading roles were sung by two different casts on the Friday and Saturday nights, giving solo parts to many girls.

There was very good participation in the music section of the Heather Lamont Festival, and both the

junior and senior sections revealed much talent in the school.

Members of the choir helped to make College Sunday an interesting experience, particularly with a Swingle Singers version of a Bach Cantata.

A "Cantata for Christmas" sung at the Carol Ser­vice was also modern and was presented successfully in collaboration with the Drama Club.

The members of the choir and the orchestra would like to extend their thanks to everyone who has help­ed with musical activities throughout the year, in particular to Mrs. Ashley who has encouraged and has given us a more general appreciation of all types of music.

Tasmanian Trip 1968

Last Christmas holidays a group of girls from M.L.C. visited Tasmania.

On Speech Night last year one could have found a group of very excited girls. Twenty-six of us, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd and Miss Hardwick, were about to leave on an interstate tour to Tasmania. We left Perth Airport early on Wed­nesday morning, breakfasted at Essendon Airport, and finally arrived in Launceston. There to meet us were Mr. and Mrs. Speedy from M.L.C., Launceston. After lunch, sight-seeing and shopping, we returned, rather apprehensively, to the school, where we were to meet our hostesses.

The second day of the trip was spent around Launceston. At 9.30 a.m. we boarded our coach and headed for Green's Beach, thirty miles away. On the way we crossed the very modern Batman Bridge, which has the only A-type suspension in the southern hemisphere. After leaving Green's Beach, we passed a Comalco aluminium plant and at Bell Bay glimpsed the "Empress of Australia", an iron ore carrier. We drove through Georgetown, which supplies all the workers for this industrial area and has a population of approximately 3,000. Continuing on our way, we arrived at the beach at Low Head and were confronted by 14 other coaches—an annual school picnic was in progress. The beach was covered with small, smooth rocks, which formed a part of nearly everyone's souvenir collection. By the time the coach-load of singing girls arrived back in Launceston, everyone was near exhaustion, but this did not stop the even­ing's activities!

Although our second day in Launceston happened to fall on Black Friday, we were lucky enough to have warm weather and a full and varied programme. Our morning was spent touring Patons and Baldwins Woollen Factory, where we were shown the complete process involved. After lunching at the Metropole Hotel, we were taken to a Wild Life Sanctuary, a few miles away. We were surprised to discover that many of the animals (mainly deer and kangaroos) were wandering freely around the reserve, taking little notice of any visitors. Our next stop was at Cataract Gorge, known as the Basin, and it proved to be a very picturesque place. We crossed the famed "Swinging Bridge" which really lived up to its name! By the time we climbed back aboard our bus, most of us were feeling the heat. As a result, after our dinner at the hotel, Mr. Shepherd kindly took us to the Launceston swimming pool—or pools as it turned out to be, where we all enjoyed a swim in the heated pool (no one stayed long in the unheated one!!!). We all thanked the kind attendants who had re-opened the pool just for us, and returned to our hotel at about 8.30 p.m. Even at this time it was still light, because of the "daylight saving".

Our party left the hotel early the next morning aboard our Pioneer Tourist Coach, driven by Mr. Les

Wagg—to whom we became quite attached, as he was with us throughout the Tasmanian tour. We travelled along Bass Highway towards Devonport, where many of us crossed the Mersey River on the "Torquay"—a small ferry—and returned just in time for lunch.

Saturday 14th was the day on which all Tasmanians on the electoral roll had to vote on a move towards building a Casino in Hobart—Mr. Wagg included, after which we left for Burnie. On the way we passed through Ulverston, where the famous three-column War Memorial stands. It is dedicated to those who died in the two World Wars, the three columns de­picting the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Austra­lian Navy and Australian Imperial Force. Further on we came to the Savage River Depot, where we saw a 1 i-mile-long conveyor belt for iron ore and iron pellets. From this position we were able to see the Nut, Stanley. Continuing on to Table Cape, we pass­ed through fertile, coastal farmlands. We returned to Burnie to spend an unsettled night.

Leaving the coastal town of Burnie, our party headed for the mining town of Queenstown, via the Murchison Highway. We lunched at Rosebury and continuing on reached Zeehan, where we spent an interesting half hour looking at the relics of the Tasmanian mining industry. We finally reached our destination of Queenstown and after dinner visited the nearby Mr. Lyell Smelting Works and were con­ducted on a detailed tour.

At 9.00 the next morning, we left the comforts of the Four Seasons Motel, to begin our 160-mile jour­ney to Hobart. The first three miles of road out of Queenstown contained 99 bends!! Travelling along Lyell Highway we saw may snow-capped mountains, many of us for the first time. For lunch we stopped near the Tarraleah and Tungatinah Hydro-Electric de­velopments and after a picnic lunch we inspected these stations. It was interesting to see the com­parison between the two, as Tarraleah was opened in 1938 and Tungatinah in 1958. We proceeded on to New Norfolk, a very English town, established in 1809 by "ticket of leave" convicts from Norfolk Island. We stopped off here to investigate the quaint Old Colony Inn and were fascinated by the old build­ing and its furnishings. We were soon on our way again and before long entered Hobart, arriving at the Friend's School at 5.00 p.m. and were greeted by our hostesses. Everyone then parted to their respec­tive homes, thus ending our very exciting three-day bus trip down the west coast.

The dawning of our drizzly first day in Hobart resulted in our proposed trip to Mount Wellington being cancelled. Instead we visited the Cadbury-Fry- Pascall factory, which had the effect of making the majority of us turn slightly green at the mere mention of the word "chocolate" for the remainder of the trip.

16

The next day was planned as a full-day tour of the Port Arthur convict settlement. On the way there we passed many famous landmarks. We crossed Eagle- hawk Neck and saw Mount Cash, named after the bushranger Martin Cash, who later became a respect­ed citizen. We stopped at the Blowholes, Tasman's Arch—which is 170 feet high—and Devil's Kitchen —which is 192 feet deep. Finally arriving at the penal settlement, we went on a conducted tour of the area, seeing the interdenominational church which took five years to build, the model prison, the penitentiary and the surrounding buildings. We returned to Hobart after a very interesting but tiring day.

The next day we were scheduled to leave at 1.00 p.m. and the morning was spent either shopping or sight-seeing with our hostesses. Our journey back to Launceston took us through the Midlands and we arrived at the Launceston Airport, ready to board our plane for Melbourne. On arrival in Melbourne we went straight to our motel and later caught a tram to St. Kilda beach where we enjoyed a tasty meal of

hamburgers. A wonderful evening was spent at Luna Park by all.

The next morning our party visited the Shrine of Remembrance, an area which covers 32 acres on which monuments have been erected in remembrance of those who fought and died in the two World Wars. In the 1914-1918 War monument there is a hole in the roof so that on the 1 1 th day of the 1 1 month at the 11th hour, a beam of sunlight shines through this hole and illuminates the words "Greater Love Hath No Man", which are inscribed in a solid block of stone set below floor level. From the Shrine we walked to the newly-built Melbourne Cultural Centre, which proved to be another extremely interesting building. The rest of the day, until 4.45, was spent shopping in the huge city centre. By this stage the group had been broken up because some of us were staying on longer in Melbourne, but the majority went on to Adelaide.

In Adelaide, we spent our day touring the Barossa Valley, famous for its wines, and left that night for home, thus ending our trip.

J. GEARU.N. CONFERENCEThe 7th Australian Hammarskjold Memorial Inter­

school Conference, so named in honour of Dag Hammarskjold, Secretary General of the United Nations, was held in Melbourne in May, 1969. Jean Gear, a 5th year student, attended.

“Australia's Orientation—East, West or World" was the theme of the conference this year. Lec­turers examined different aspects of this theme — Australia's policies on Security, Trade and Aid, Edu­cation, and Common Law and Human Rights.

Mr. Bruce Grant gave the first lecture, on "Aus­tralia's Security Policy". He pointed out that a country does not have international friendships, but rather international interests, and saw three possible moves for Australia in the future. Firstly—a policy of armed neutrality, keeping out of the great power issues. Secondly—a total link with the U.S.A. Third­ly—a regional role with Australia taking part with Asian States in a common security policy.

"Australia's Trade and Aid Policy", the second lecture, was given by Miss Mavis King. She com­

mented that for reasons of position, climate, and our undeveloped resources, that Asia does not possess, "Australia is beginning to turn to the East for trade."

"Australia's Education Policy" was the third topic under discussion. We didn't have a lecturer but discussed set questions on the basis of our own experience, keeping in mind the conference theme. The general feeling was that there should be as much opportunity to study Asian history and langu­ages as there is to study European.

Mr. Julian Philips, who spoke on "Australia's Common Law and Human Rights", was our third lecturer. He spoke of the need for common law to be revised and made uniform, for Australia to pre­pare a declaration of human rights.

Throughout the conference it was interesting to hear the points of view of students from other States, with different educational backgrounds. My own thoughts have been clarified and I feel I bene­fited tremendously from the experience.

SCHOOL SPORT1969 has been a very successful year sport-wise

for M.L.C., and it has been characterised by real team and school spirit which is of course more im­portant than actual places gained.

For the fifth successive year, M.L.C. won the interschool swimming at Beatty Park. Our team, captained by Denise Brooks, won by 35-2- points from S. Hilda's, with P.L.C. in third place.

The standard of diving has improved remarkably— this was shown by the two third places in the senior section, and two first places in the junior section at the Inters, and also by the fact that the M.L.C. team entered in the State diving trials came first. The enthusiasm for diving has been shown by the arrang­ing of a divathon to raise money to buy new boards.

In the lifesaving carnival, M.L.C. gained three first places—in the Curran Cup, Halliday Shield and

Bader Memorial; two second places—in the Madam de Mouncey and McKellar Hall, and two fourth places in the Anderson Cup and Bunbury Cup.

M.L.C. also had a very successful tennis year. The senior team, captained by Janet Cusack, gained first place and the junior team came second to Perth College. For the third successive year M.L.C. won the Slazenger Cup — defeating Loreto in the final; the Mursell team lost to St. Mary's in the final; and the Herbert Edwards team was defeated by Mer­cedes in the final.

The junior A basketballers managed to win the pennant, and M.L.C. finished second to P.L.C. in the senior A, second to Loreto in senior B and second to P.L.C. in the junior B. Basketball captain was Jenny Zimmerman.

Pennants were won in hockey by the senior B, junior A and junior B teams—the senior A team finishing third behind P.L.C. and St. Mary's. Janet Cusack was hockey captain.

The gymnasts once again had a very successful year, finishing second to John Curtin S.H.S. in the junior A, junior B and senior A sections. Our calis­thenics team coached by Rita Leckie, gained first place, with John Curtin S.H.S. finishing second.

M.L.C. gained fifth place in the athletics again

this year. S. Hilda's came first, with St. Mary's second, Penrhos third, P.L.C. fourth, Perth College sixth and Kobeelya seventh. Even though fifth place doesn't sound very impressive, the scores were very close—and above all—the school and team spirit was wonderful. (Never has the school song been sung so proudly.) In the age group divisions—M.L.C. came runners-up in the under-14 and won the open cup (for the first time ever!). The team was captained by Denise Brooks.

At this time of writing, the softball competition has not yet commenced—but our team has been picked, and, with quite a few leaving girls con­descending to give up their precious study time, plus some strong fourth years—we seem to have a promis­ing team.

1969 has been a successful year—and our thanks must of course go to the sports staff for their help and guidance throughout the year, and to Mr. Shep­

herd and other members of staff who have given support to our sporting activities. In particular our thanks must go to Miss Hardwick, Mrs. Gobolos, Miss Heagney (who left after second term to teach up north), Miss Wadsworth (who replaced Miss Heagney), Mrs. Prance (diving coach), Mrs. Forkin (junior hockey) and Mr. and Mrs. Edwards (tennis coaches). Without these people, success would have been im­possible.

HOUSES ATHENS

ATHENIAN HOUSE OFFICIALS

Athenian house-singing was fairly successful this year as under the instruction of Athenian conductress Kim Bickell, Athens tied equal third with Rome. In addition, a new idea was introduced into house­singing this year allowing all house members to join in me song sung in unison and permitting the more musically inclined members of a house to participate in an Elizabethan serenade, "The Gentle Avon".

The inter-house athletics were held in third term and, by winning 173 points, Athens gained fourth position. The runner-up of the under-15 athletics champion was Athenian Colleen Smith who scored 27 points.

As yet, the inter-house tennis and softball compe­titions have not been completed, but it is hoped that Athens will join in these with as much enthusiasm as it and all other houses have shown towards house activities this year.

House Mistress: Mrs. Hill Captain: C. Ryan Vice-Captain: J. Zimmerman Secretary: J. Gray Treasurer: A. Hiller

Sport activities commenced in 1969 with the swimming sports. Through enthusiasm and much training under the supervision of the Athenian House captain, Christine Ryan, Athens managed to achieve first place with 214 points. In addition, Athenian Kerry Chittleborough became the under-15 swimming champion by scoring 30 points.

In the field of gymnastics, Athenian participants gained second place behind the lead of Sparta, in the senior section. In the junior section, Athens with 42.53 narrowly missed the first place which was won by Olympia with 43.55 points.

Athens was not as successful as in previous years in hockey and basketball, and gained fifth place in the inter-house hockey and fourth place in the basketball. However, house spirit was strong amongst Athenian team members and both teams enjoyed the competition provided by all the other houses.

1969. Can we do it a third time?Do what?Win the House Cup?

Corinth began 1969 by the election of house cap­tain. Denise Brooks chose Janet Cusack to assist her throughout the year. Other house officials were elected and proposals for the house swimming were put forward at the first house meeting. How could we fail under such excellent leadership? No com­ment!

But the spirited Corinthians, even after this initial disaster, bounced back to win four out of five games in senior house softball. Unfortunately this success did not hold, for the juniors lost two and drew two matches in the junior house tennis.

And then came the house singing. What we lacked in harmony we made up for in power but the adjudi­

cator was not to be impressed and awarded Corinth fifth place.

In second term the junior basketball umpires re­fused to be bribed and Corinth lost three and a half games out of five. Senior basketball was a little better with three out of five wins. In both senior and junior hockey we scooped the pool, winning every match.

Having lost the semi-final in the senior house debating, we fell back to third place whilst the junior also came third. Second term was at an end and it was with renewed vigour and enthusiasm that we greeted the final term—our last chance to im­prove our position in the running for the House Cup.

And what an improvement! After a hard battle with the other houses we came through to gain first place in the inter-house athletics. Well, Corinthians, we may not have won the House Cup but we certainly fought for it. Keep fighting! If not this year, maybe next year . . .

P UGNACIOUS as ever, Olympian teams fought it out on the hockey and basketball fields. Medal for endurance goes to Betty Curwen — senior hockey players had enthusiasm but, alas, the game is played with balls and sticks ! Still, a good time was had by all.

|rVIN and Eddington — what a team ! Along

with Lyn Boddington and Pauline Bushell (how we miss her enthusiasm !) they proved to be a most successful debating team, the former three making the final. Linder and Meredith were also members of the school debating team.

Athletics found us in our favourite position once

more. Why do we always come second? A cer­tain Miss Glidey was in debt to the tune of 60 cents as her reward for coaching the successful under-16 ball team. Our athletes were most pleasing, but we onlookers were certainly not over-enthusiastic. Let's hope that that necessary item — enthusiasm — spreads through all quar­ters of Olympia next year. It often seemed to be restricted to a precious few — one always being Mrs. Kilbey.

ism «3l

Over all the activities this year Rome has not done exceptionally well but all girls, especially ones who played in the teams, had fun and some girls did very well in both house and school activities.

The first activity of the year was the inter-house swimming in which Rome came third. Odette organ­ised the team and congratulations go to Louise Draper who gained first place in the under-16 division.

The house tennis was taken by Tricia Stott and the juniors played in first term and the seniors in third term. The juniors did not do well but the seniors had a reasonably strong team.

In the softball, senior in first term and junior in third term, Rome did well. We were equal first in the senior, and our thanks go to Rob Graebner who organised the junior and senior teams.

The house singing was held at the end of first term and Rome attained equal third place. Karen Forsyth and Paula Silbert did excellent jobs conduct­ing and playing for us and our thanks and congratula­tions must go to them.

Basketball, hockey and gym were taken in second term and Rome did not star in any of these. Lack of enthusiasm and turn-up to practices made hockey and basketball teams difficult to choose, and we only had two junior and no senior gymnasts. Our thanks go

to Louise Mercer and Nerolie Ward for taking the basketball and hockey respectively.

In the Heather Lamont festival at the end of sec­ond term we had quite a few participants. Girls from all years went in the singing, instrumental, speech, public speaking and ballet and some from each, ex­cept the public speaking, gained places in the finals.

Athletics at the beginning of third term was taken by Louise Draper. We did not have a very strong team and we did not do very well, but congratulations go to Linda Brown who gained first place in the under- 14 high jump.

The senior and junior debating teams taken by Penny Keeley were defeated in the first round and thus we did not get a place in this activity.

Throughout this year girls have participated in many different fields and we hope that, because we did not do very well this year, the girls will be enthusiastic next year.

Our thanks to Odette and Denise who did a mar­vellous job as heads of the house and to Miss Barclay as house mistress, and congratulations to the winning houses.

And all remember . . . 1970 is the year of the ROMANS.

SPARTA\«/

SPARTAN HOUSE OFFICIALSHouse Mistress: Mrs. Moore Captain: W. Sippe Vice-Captain: V. Woods Secretary: R. Dix Treasurer: A. Hopkinson

It has been the generally satisfying although occa­sionally exasperating task of Mrs. Moore, assisted by Winsome and Vicki, to lead and encourage Sparta in its various fields of activity this year. Their jobs included an occasional pep talk which usually man­aged to create a sudden burst of enthusiasm as an event became alarmingly near and, after a hurried glance at those who then turned up at practices, they usually managed to scrape up a team.

The swimming was very evenly contested all round with Sparta finishing fourth. Congratulations for her brilliant performance in the diving must especially go to Sue W. and also to Winsome, the swimming cap­tain, who won the Ack'and Shield. They both went on to represent the school in the inters.

Singing practices were well attended but even under the expert hand of conductress Marilyn R., we were placed last. The performance was no doubt hindered

by the fact that the forms on which we stood felt decidedly unsafe, causing some rather strained expres­sions.

The gym competition in second term saw perhaps the best Spartan effort of the year. Athanae per­formed outstandingly and was backed up by the captain, Vicki's, excellent effort to win the senior section. Thanks also to the performances of the juniors, Anne, Sally and Julie, Sparta was the overall winner of the competition.

Although the thought of having to rise earlier than usual on winter mornings did not initially appeal to many, nevertheless, a group exhibiting true Spartan spirit, armed with hockey sticks or basketballs, gath­ered whenever required to defend the honour of the house. Despite the gallant efforts of the hockey team, led by Lyn Letchford, we were placed fourth. Our position of last in the basketball was possibly due to a notable lack of interest in practices, despite the coaxing of basketball captain, Julie R.

In the more academic fields of the school, Sparta was well represented, but especially so in the Heather Lamont festival, in which a large number of girls participated, helping to increase our tally of points towards the House Cup. The debating teams were once again a credit to Sparta, the juniors winning their section and the seniors, captained by Jo Savage, attaining a high standard. Also congratulations must go to Julie Rochfort for her position of co-editor of the "Collegian".

Our thanks for leadership and enthusiasm this year go to Mrs. Moore and particularly to Winsome and Vicki, who have contributed a great deal to Sparta, especially in their roles of captain and vice­captain. To all those girls who are leaving M.L.C. we extend our best wishes for the future.

TROY

TROJAN HOUSE OFFICIALSHouse Mistress: Mrs. Matthews Captain: A. Murray Vice-Captain: J. Little Secretary: R. Bogle Treasurer: P. Davis

Although Troy did not get a very high placing in the swimming this year, we did well in several indi­vidual events, for example Adele Davis came first in the junior diving and our house and vice-captains, Anne and Jenny, took part in the hilarious spectacle

staged by the leaders of the various houses.

Our senior debating team of Jenny Little, Deborah Hawkins and Cathy Bagster, proved very persuasive in their arguments and were able to gain first place in debating. Because Cathy was unable to take part in the final debate, Geraldine Cook filled her place as third speaker at very short notice and did very well, coming out with top marks awarded to each

individual speaker.

Our honourable captain succeeded in carrying off first prize in the folk-singing section of the Heather Lamont festival while a prominent member of our house, better known for her skill as a Collegian propa­gandist, won second place as a senior ensemble.

The one event of the year for which the whole house gets together is the singing and Troy managed very well under the competent guidance of our con­ductress Deborah Hawkins, proving their skill by taking second place.

(We also won the basketball, but don't like to

boast.)

OLD GIRLS' NOTESThe Old Girls' Association of M.L.C. still functions

and, even more important, functions happily.The only sad note in yet another year of harmony

was the sudden death of the husband of our president Jean Parker. However, with her own very special spirit our dear Jean rallied above the tragedy (which left her with four daughters to support) and carried on with presidential responsibilities as well as taking on her husband's business.

In February at the annual general meeting of the association the following committee was elected:

President: Jean Parker (Brede).Vice-Presidents: Rae Edwards (Watson),

Dorothy Stock (Brooking).Secretary: Sylvia Foulkes (Butcher).Treasurer: Meryl Wilson (Gibson).

General: Audrey Knight (Davey), Jenny Alderson (Peet), Val Bandy (Watts), Susan Gray, Helen Kelton (Finch), Coral Parker (Bear), Jenny Mahoney, Jenny Muhling, Nancy Taylor (Baike), Doris Strachan (Tay­lor), Marianne Tunbridge (Medcatf) and Barbara Mel- som (Jones).

The association has held no special functions in 1969, but the annual dinner held at the school in July was as usual a highlight. There were 140 Old Girls present and guests of honour were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Shepherd and Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Sumner.

A team of Old Girls has been working solidly through most of the year calling on other Old Girls— from early and recent years—appealing for donations for the building fund. The appeal is still open and, although the Old Girls more than filled their esti­mated quota, they and other teams are plodding on hoping to eventually reach the goal of $250,000. In early October the total sum committed was $187,000. Incidentally, the Old Girls' committee recently decided to donate $1,000 to the fund and they are hoping this will be matched by our P. and F. as well as the Penhros Old Girls' Association.

Our Great Southern and South-West branches held their annual dinners and some of the city members have driven to Gnowangerup and Bunbury to attend. These country dinners usually mean a whole weekend away and are a wonderful excuse for any of us to take a small and enjoyable break. Try it next year!

President of the South-West branch is Merrilee Fry (McLeod) and secretary, Lorna Taplin. Kath West

HELEN ZIMMERMAN left M.L.C. last year. She Australian National University in Canberra. Here is he

The Australian National University has been de­scribed as a "glorified technical college" turning out a product that is ready to become an efficient govern­ment cog. And it is noticeable that many of the courses A.N.U. offers tend to support this criticism; but it should also be noted that they are courses which very few other Uni's offer, or place as much importance upon. Oriental Studies students make up a large portion of the Uni population; as do Forestry,

(Murdoch) took over as president from Sue Milne (Jamse) at the recent Great Southern dinner. Eliza­beth Wellard (Symes) is still their secretary. Next year they plan to hold their dinner at Wagin.

How about a branch or two due east and north of Perth?

Nearly $200 was raised at the jumble sale ably run by Elsie Murray, Rae Edwards and Doris Strachan at a hall in Beaufort St., Perth, in July.

There was a good attendance of M.L.C. Old Girls at the combined old girls' golf day in September at the Mt. Lawley Golf Club. Perth College was host school and, as it turned out, winners for the day.

What used to be the Pleiades Club—or the Seven Stars—is now C.I.G.S.—Combined Independent Girls' Schools with the inclusion of the eighth school, Penh­ros. The other schools are Loreto, S. Hilda's, P.L.C., St. Mary's, Perth College, M.L.C. and Kobeelya. Three representatives from M.L.C. Old Girls are on the C.I.G.S. committee and this year, instead of the Seven Stars Ball, a buffet dinner-dance was held at the Victoria League Club in West Perth. One of these days it would be nice if the C.I.G.S. could have their own club—perhaps a gracious old home in West Perth or Subiaco—where they could hold such func­tions. The possibility has been explored tentatively but of course what is needed is finance, finance, finance!!

The M.L.C. Old Girls' Association held an "open committee meeting" rather unsuccessfully during September. It was intended that any old girls from country areas bringing children back to school after the holidays would be able to attend. Ideas for country branches and other items of mutual interest were to be discussed, but as only two visitors turned up it was disappointing. Better luck next time!

Any past pupils of M.L.C. wanting to join our Old Girls' Association should send $1.50 annual subscrip­tion to our treasurer, Mrs. J. Wilson, 72 Archdeacon St., Nedlands 6009. Alternatively, $21 will secure you life membership. Members are sent four News­letters per year which keep them informed of coming events and Old Girl activities.

No matter how old we grow it's nice to keep the spirit of school days alive. After all, we're all young at heart!

won one of a few Oriental Studies Scholarships to the opinion of the University.

Economics, Political Science, and Law students.Although A.N.U. has a good academic standard,

I think to call itself a university it must offer more of a "university life". There are few places—I don't know of one on, or near the Campus—where students want to go and buy a cheap meal, a cup of coffee or glass of wine, and TALK. We need to be able to air our own views and hear others doing the same.

This problem is probably not as great for students

who don't live on the Campus, but a good proportion of us do, and so find ourselves restricted to the area near the Uni.

The Residential Halls help make up for the Uni's lack of contact with the “outside world" by becoming communities in themselves. In this, their being mixed helps. But then the problem of life revolving solely around the Halls arises, and you only see a limited aspect of life and people.

Canberra, itself, seems shut off from the rest of Australia, and certain sectors of the community. The only people I ever meet are university students or lecturers; and those outside the Uni all seem to be public servants.

LINDA SCOTT left M.L.C. in 1968 to go overseas

I had been warned about Earl's Court, and once we landed in London we were driven to "Your actual Earl's Court or Kangaroo Valley", but I loved it there in our temporary service flat. London was like a fan­tasy world almost; so huge with old streets, buildings and in contrast a complex underground, on which I've been lost loads of times. I found some young com­pany and soon got to know the "swinging" side of London. We then moved to our house in the sedate area of Sanderstead in Surrey. The contrast between this home and London was fantastic, no noise, no busy traffic, no "weird" people, everything and everybody was quiet and nice.

I took a job in Boots the Chemists in Croydon, mainly to fill in time until I should start at the Old Palace School in September. Oh, it was July at the time. The Old Palace School was suggested to us as it is sister school to Perth College.

Just as we were settling into the house, Dad get­ting used to travelling miles on crowded trains to Canberra House, London; Rob (my brother) settling into his second English school, and me getting to know some more people and places, we had the news about Germany.

Dad had been transferred to the Australian Em­bassy in Cologne. He accepted the position as a technical adviser with the Migration Office. I started trying to remember all the German I'd forgotten and wrote to the school saying I wouldn't be going there, etc. We went to the Regent's Palace Hotel opposite Piccadilly Circus in London. In the summer, as it was then—August—they have open-air concerts in Hyde Park and I went to my last one. The crowds seemed to stretch for ever and everyone had long hair and the atmosphere was unbelievable.

In Germany I got to know an Australian girl and through her loads of people with the British Forces in Cologne, there was a whole settlement of English people! The city is quite beautiful and clean, mainly modern because of the reconstruction after the war. The Dom (Cathedral) is the most striking thing, out of the modern streets comes the ancient Dom. I climbed up it—ONLY 550 STEPS—spiral to top it but the view was phenomenal; there were barges and ferries going up and down the Rhine.

We decided that I didn't know enough Deutsch to go to school there, so with many phone calls it

Instead of teaching us what to expect from life. Uni allows us to lead a safe, sheltered, rather detach­ed existence. One of the main advantages of A.N.U. is that you're on your own as far as decision-making goes. You decide what you want to do, and how you want to do it. But all these decisions revolve around the Campus, and teach us nothing about how to solve problems of every-day life.

Contact is what we need; contact amongst our­selves and a chance to stimulate our minds; contact with other sections of the community, so that we don't develop a one-sided view of life. In this respect A.N.U. is unfortunate in being situated in Canberra.

was arranged that I should attend the Old Palace School in Croydon after all. I was happy to be back in England where Australian isn't so much a foreign lan­guage as it is in Germany. I liked the school and was happy where I was staying.

My parents by this time had a house, and I joined two of my three sisters in Germany for a holiday; they'd come over from Perth so there was a big reunion. I loved the snow that was everywhere, and with the sun or moon on it it was almost blinding. We all went quite mad throwing snowballs at each other. Actually we did a lot more than just that. I went to a series of New Year's Eve parties in cellars.

Now a bit about the school at Caterham. It is an Anglican Girls' Grammar run by nuns. As the name implies, it is an old palace, it's where all the arch­bishops used to live, and Elizabeth I for a while. It has a whole load of sneaky passages everywhere and its very own ghost, seen by some Sisters. For two terms I had a cooked meal at school and this we had in the dungeon! I am in the sixth form and we all have a large common room which is out of bounds to the teachers. We play records, the radio, cards, have feasts and also do some prep. We spend ail our prep periods in there; there is no supervision of those in the sixth form. I think that this is better, for you can work at your pace and it's amazing how much work is done. There is quite a distinction made be­tween the sixths and the rest of the school. We can virtually wear any summer uniform we like, no hat etc.; all this doesn't make you feel quite so young and schoolgirlish.

I went back to Cologne for the Easter holiday of a month. Spring had sprung and everything was lovely. On Anzac Day (Dad got a holiday from this far away!) we drove to Holland for the day and saw tulips everywhere, windmills, canals, clogs 'n' all. When we crossed the Dutch border the difference in the countries was immediately apparent. Both coun­tries I think are beautiful in their own ways. Earlier in my holiday we had gone on a long drive, explored a few old castles in Germany and followed the Rhine with its numerous colourful barges back home. The heritage and tradition so apparent in Germany and England can be fully appreciated, I feel, coming from a relatively modern country. I shall start my working life in Cologne so shall be returning there soon.

ANGLESIN THE LIBRARY — Margaret Bownes 2.22

I was not in the debate, but two of my friends were. All day they had been fidgeting and their nerves were jumpy. When the bell for club period rang (the debate was to be he'd then), I was sure she was going to have a heart-attack. But, somehow, we made it to the library, and the two took their seats behind the table.I plonked myself down in the front row and we all waited tensely for the arrival of the opposition. They were from a boys' school which added to the terror of my friends. They had arrived! Three boys entered the library, all of them well over six feet tall. I will never forget the look on my friends' faces, because they are only in second year. But luckily, these boys sat down in the back row, apparently spectators. A little later the real debaters arrived, more to the desired age and height.

The debate was under way! M.L.C. spoke first and although our first speaker was rather tongue-tied from nervousness, the speech came off quite well. Then the first opponent spoke. The contrast between the two speak­ers' voices was immense. The girl's voice had been high and fast while this young gentleman's was slow and low, generally resembling that of a bullfrog. Then our second speaker spouted forth her little piece. A fly kept crawl­ing on the poor girl's face and I frantically tried to shoo it away. But to no avail. The next boy took his place but there was a terribly long silence before he started to speak. I don't know if it was for effect or from nerv­ousness, but I suspect the latter. I gazed out across the river, trying desperately not to laugh. Behind me there were suppressed giggles and eventually he started to speak. Finally, the debate was over and M.L.C. had won by four points.

The boys' school will no doubt arrange a return debate at their school, but I strongly doubt whether my two friends will go into that after the ordeal of the last debate.

QUIETNESS

Sally Anderson 5.9

Everyone always says that “silence is golden", but I don't like quietness. The loud laughter of children; the barking of a dog; who would want to quell such wonderful noises?

Quietness is a method of slow torture. It gnaws at the bones and surrounds you — quietness is destruc­tive. It destroys a beautiful symphony — it silences a clear, floating voice and replaces it with harsh noth­ingness which makes the ears strain for just one sound — a noise to quench the thirst of the soul for under­standing of movement, for expression of ideas and imagery through sound.

Is there one among you who could remain without sound for more than a day, a week, a year? Is there one who is so introverted, so satiated by self that he could live without the blessing of noise, of sound, of music of the earth?

If there is one, I mourn for him; for every person who says "be quiet" or "shut up" or "quieten down" or "turn off that music" I am hurt, offended; I feel it is a personal affront for anyone to misuse that for which I so yearn — for I am deaf, and exist in the agony — the oblivion of quietness.

Karen Forsyth 5.10

Bush quiet; bush still; everything living full

in peace, in silence;

in full being.

Green shiver, quiver wet leaves on rocks,

on wet trees; great black trees

staunch in silence.

ISIRi am Carl Xyrex. My business is, or to be exact,

was, spying. I am now home, thank the stars, and enjoying the rest of my being. You had many wars, such a waste of time, but the one great War, ended

your existence. This documentary is being written ten months after your destruction, your foolish des­

truction. If my memory serves me correctly, every detail henceforth is fact.

It began three years ago. Your peoples were . . .

were blundering fools, they let the rash of war creep

over them, until nothing could be done. However, I

must not let my emotions interfere with this report.

You were happy people, enjoying everything that

could be obtained from life. The sun would shine

every day and every night the moon would rise. The

stars would shine so brightly that a child could reach

up and collect them into one shiny bundle and never

let them go.

This was all very well, until one night, a starry

night, a scientist made a slip. Carbon-monoxide and fluorine were mixed. Combined, these two gases were

so poisonous that men and women were driven to kill until they collapsed and died.

The gas, in no way useful to the experiment in pro­

gress, was carelessly tipped down the sink.

The gas collected and quite quickly there was a

darkish film over the whole stratosphere.

For a while people were confused. They expected

rain, but nothing came except violence. Riots soon

were common, and more and more people were being involved. Soon armies were collected and stationed

at all capital cities. Countries started quarrelling. Everyone was affected. These quarrels soon enlarged

to war, your undoing. Man, woman and child would

fight until they collapsed, dead with asphyxiation.

Children did not last long, one pathetic struggle with

another, felled them. Their crumpled little bodies

would be trampled further into the ground until flesh

and bone were no longer distinguishable.

Houses were left to ruin, usually charred by angry fires. Your peoples no longer cared for food or shel­

ter, their one aim, to kill. Your death was slow. Oc-

delightful red, a creeping red that starts as a dot;

a tiny spoton the horizontal tread

of icy sea and icy sky. then gradually

it grows to an enormous glowing sphere the sea is warm, the sky a bright

orange-yellow clouded line, a breeze.

It comes to me at the dead of night, gnawing, tearing at my brain,

never letting me sleep.Ah! sleep, blissful sleep.But it's gone and I am conscious once more.

Aware of the tapping of a twig at my window Slowly beating out my death sentence

tap! tap! tap!

I scream — and silenceno sound, except a distant voice calling Crying out to me to come.

But as the sun's first rays pierce my tiny cellOnly then do I find peace with my fevered mind.

Patsy Georgeff 5.10

casionally an unfortunate man would live up to three

months. These months were lived in agony, both from

wounds and poison. The lucky ones died within a few

days.

The war with man and gas lasted two years. Some

parts of your world were not affected until later, but

even so the war marched on till not a soul was left.

After your once bounteous population had killed

itself, there was a hushed awe over the earth. Nothing

stirred, for nothing was left. No more green undulat­

ing hills, no more deep blue seas, just a black devas­

tation. Your earth is a dead planet.

Release the fire in the back of your brain—

Emotions

revolve

in the air which has seen the resurrection and is silent.

Feel the burning of the silence break into music,

crescendoes of love—

releasing the hate—

to dance in the spiritual heatwave.Manifest the truth of the bread and the wine.

Escapefrom the pulsing flame

to the creations of the soul.

As the earth falls away—

as the kaleidoscope revolves over the sky: let the sun burn out in its silent frenzy—

and the world be still in its orbit.

Please nourish the flower of the lovewhich has slipped to the side of the child's halo.

IN THE NIGHT

Midnight —

And the still night falls

on the middle of the lake

Like glass upon glass,

The slightest movement

Rippling the silver water;

And all the world is still.

A panther pads softly down,

As if scared to break the spell.

He treads silently, softly,

But dangerously,

Every footprint spells his deity;

But the lake is silver

And the world is still.

The panther treads softly, silently,Moves softly, silently.

Kills softly, silently,

But the water ripples, And the wind whistles,

And the world is not still.

And the cupboard is silent again.

The huge face at the door,

Bulging eyes filled with horror And, from the cavernous mouth

A noise like the wail of a thousand cats.

IT'S A MOUSE LIFEMy name is Marmaduke and I'm a white mouse.

One day my mistress left the door of my cage open.I had only a minute to make up my mind but I decid­

ed to have a taste of freedom. So I nipped smartly

up the stairs and I've been living in the attic ever

since.

Oh, what fun I've had playing among the old books and pictures — the things people keep in attics!

But now this cheeky kitten has come to spoil it all.What impudence — he's even brought a pal along.

Can't a chap ever be left in peace? What did you say? They've posted a "Missing Mouse" notice for

me in the kitchen? Now I suppose you'll want to

march me downstairs and put me in my cage.Steady — fellas — no rough stuff now! I'll go

quietly. A smart mouse always knows when the

game's up.

To tell the truth, it is a bit draughty up here.

The food isn't all that good either — I've almost forgotten what cheese tastes like! And it does get a bit lonely in the evenings, as there's not even a house

Really, it's rather nice of you chaps to give me a

The Anonymous Critic Strikes Again . . .It all began on a beautiful day, birds singing, dogs

barking, etc., and I felt on top of the world. The

slave-camp bus was not over-crowded for a change

and people were looking nice and smiling. People smiling? Well, I arrived at the slave camp (it's really

a permanent establishment) and was told to go to my

room by a loud ringing bell.

A slave mistress bent over her desk and ticked off

numbers. We slaves murmured and a sharp hiss from the lips of the mistress silenced us. Another bell.

The slave mistress left the room and another came to

take her place. She undid all the chains on our desks

so that we could stand up and say good morning to her and then she came and chained us all up again.

There we sat, chained to a wobbly structure of metal

and wood, learning the finer arts.

Another bell, another slave mistress for a long lesson in the art of unchaining letters of the alphabet from one another. We never dared ask the mistress

why we learnt this, we thought that it was best to

sit chained and try to understand it.

The interesting part now begins. It was lunchtime

or, better still, scrap time, for the camp provided all the food. We were sitting in large herds on the soil

in front of the camp buildings. A slave mistress,

well known for her cruel habits, was dragging two

chained slaves around the area making them pick up

the scraps of the scraps. The sight revolted me. After

all we slaves have a right to a private lunch. In a burst of wild hatred, I ran and grabbed the mistress

and with the help of two friends dragged her to the

river and drowned her . . .

ON WINTER Louise Draper S.9

Grey dampness blots out the sun,

The light yields and blends into grey — eternal grey.

The golden beach, the cool, crystal sea, the happy tanned faces.

Are no longer.

Now there is grey damp sand, seagulls,

And the angry sea.

And anonymous footprints in the sand;

there until the wind should blow them far away.

To another land.

Where only sun exists.

Gone are the long, lazy days of gentle oblivion

The sun-filled days.

The summer.

THOUGHTS Bronwyn McCormack 5.10

My thoughts are blowing — whirling with the wind on the beach. Black is the sky, and bleak the cry

above the storm of happiness and peace. Blow, blow you wind. Toss my thoughts lest they fall together and

become sane; for I am in need of the windy ways of cold and bitterness. Curse me for kicking up the cool

sand, but I must. I must harmonize with your cold, swift beat.

They will insist on asking us to write debates in exams — for instance . . .

Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen . . .

I would like to ask you to cast your minds back to

childhood. Was not childhood a full and happy time

of life? Were you not wrapped around with love —

your mother's love? Were not the larks always sing­

ing and the sun always shining? Was not the horse­

less carriage an undreamt of violation of the country­

side's beauty? Were not belching fumes and grinding

sounds confined to a few thousand factories in

England's green and pleasant land?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you to cast your minds

back, I ask you to grapple with your grey matter

and tell me honestly, to tell me honestly, Ladies and

Gentlemen, in all sincerity, and with the recollection

of your happy and rose-tinted childhoods clearly in

your minds, to tell me honestly I say, whether or not

this was a better place. Ladies and Gentlemen, can

you deny, can you deny, Ladies and Gentlemen, in all

sincerity, can you deny that England's curse and mar

is the motor car. I take the motor car, Ladies and

Gentlemen, or the automobile as our American bro­

thers call it, I take the motor car as symbolizing,

symbolizing. Ladies and Gentlemen, the bane of Eng­

land's beauty. I say again — the bane, the blot, the stain on England's beauty . . . Automation. Ah, what

a little word, what a wicked little word, what a wicky,

wicky, wicky little word.

Well, I am here, actually, this afternoon, to address

you on the subject of automation. In all seriousness

I want to draw your attention to the problems, to the

serious problems, to the serious social problems which

automation (wicky wicky) has brought in its wake. In

its wicked wake, Ladies and Gentlemen, if I may coin

a connotation.

Good God, Ladies and Gentlemen! Think of the

children of the future! The future's children! The

million future children of this noble land of ours!

Shall they have robots instead of nannies? No nan­

nies? Perish the ponderation! No nannies to wheel

them in their big-wheeled prams! Ladies and Gentle­

men, I ask you! Can we do without that noble part

of our noble heritage — the high-stepping, big­

wheeled pram! Could a robot push a pram in the

same way as the English starched nanny, could a

robot have the same stern touch? Consider the pros­

pect, Ladies and Gentlemen, consider the parks of

England, consider that great part of our great national

heritage, and then consider, consider Ladies and Gen­

tlemen, consider those parks filled with grey, parad­

ing, mechanical, boring robots----------------- Oh, Ladies

and Gentlemen, let me warn you, let me warn you

before it is too late, of the dangers wicked automa­

tion brings in its wicked wake.

Look, Ladies and Gentlemen, is it asking too much,

is it asking too much I say, to expect you to consider,

to consider seriously, the effects of that wicked wake

(wotten wotter!)? Where, oh where L. and G., would

all the displaced nannies go, where would all the

nannies go? Think of that! Think of that and thun­

der, as you join with me hereunder, in banning auto­

mation's wicked wake!

Thank you. Margaret Merilees 6.7

If I had my way, I would live on the isle of Crete. My idea of Crete is wild-looking mountains, warm, white

sands, sparkling blue seas. The landscape is both rugged and romantic. The days are sunny, the nights warm.

The skies are a heavenly blue. During the day I swim in the bays and sunbake on the rocks. I imagine myself

hunting among the ruins of ancient Acropolis and drifting from temple to temple. If I look up, I see that there

are no clouds in the sky. In Greece no one knows what a cloud is, and no-one cares.

WET DAY Tanya Bennett 3.25

The sun didn't shine today. There was nobody in

the gardens and there were no children in the park.

Even the dogs did not bark. It was raining again.

Today the school was to hold the annual games of

Mother versus Daughter in basketball and Father

versus Son in football, but this now has been post­

poned because of the rain.

The day passed slowly. People were now arriving home from the R.S.L. meeting. You could hear the

cars pull up, a slam of the door and then the sound of wet shoes disturbing the many puddles. No time

for a chat today.

The blue smoke from the chimney was whisked

away on its first appearance. An occasional door slammed and the clothes lines continued their rota­

tion like a row of old carousels.

The school buses were late and the children couldn't

congregate at the corner to talk about last night's T.V. programmes. Once the bus stopped and started

on its way, all was quiet again.When it rained our district seemed to die. You

couldn't enjoy your walk home from the shops. You

couldn t hear Mrs. Harvey's voice over the fence and the washing was always left till tomorrow.

Looking out of the window, I could see the grey

outline of the houses down the street — the shining

red roofs and colourful gardens were blurred by the

mist.The rain continues and the lines turn and the mist

spreads.

Terry Dargin 5.9THE PRODIGAL BEATNIK SON (As told by one of his contemporaries)

There were two cool cats who lived with their daddio in a big pad (house). The cats' indentification plates read "Sebastian" and "Caesar". Now these cats were attached like brothers, and Sebastian swung, while Caesar was on the square side. Now their big Daddy made "S'eb" and "Caesar" cut out and open a peeper for the bread winning game (go out and look for work). Caesar ended up throwing nuts into wheels to make go (garage assistant), while Seb became uptight and decided it wasn't his groove. Well, Seb decided he wasn't going to have this cake, and so he went to Big Daddy and said: "Grease the path, Daddy, I'm sliding out!" Well, that did it. Seb slung his guitar across his portable headrest and headed for town with his bread bank (money saved).

Big Daddy was cut up over the loss of his cool cat, Sebastian, and Caesar was playing it cool.

When Sebastian reached the Big Hangout, he grooved it with some swingers. The swingers said: "Come to our pad, Cool Cat". Well, Seb thought it was made. He set himself up in the pad and from his bread played it cool by buying fire-sticks (cigarettes) to last the cats for a life time (four months). Well, the hands of time kept turning, and soon after his fellow cool cats had puffed the last puffer, it was the how for Seb to return to the cold corners like streets.

Well, Seb didn't have much of a chance from the beginning, so again he turned towards the big pad and cut out of the cats' clutches. Now all this time Big Daddy looked out daily from the top of his pad, and behold one day, guitar in hand, the wandering cool cat was at the gates of Pity. Big Daddy ran down and showed his happiness by donating a C-string for Seb's guitar which was in a split-string condition.

That night there was a big stir (party) at Big Daddy's pad and all the local cool cats of the suburbs came to see the Prodigal Beatnik. And all this time Caesar, working on his wheels was thinking, "Man' that cat sure has it cool!"

I SAW IT HAPPEN Patricia Gregson 2.24

School was out early today and the sun was shining brightly. It was a beautiful Martian summer. The birds sang and the trees swayed gently in the breeze.

June and I were walking home, talking about our homework, when the subject of space exploration came up. Of course we were in agreement with our planet Mars exploring space, discovering new worlds and perhaps even finding advanced civilisations.

Of course there had been many reports of U.F.Os. in the districts, but there always were.

As usual, June and I began to argue about it, and so she dared me to meet her at twelve o'clock at the Moon exhibition stadium in the park, and we would keep a look out for U.F.Os.

We parted at my gate and I walked up the drive to my house. Mother was sitting on the verandah withher knitting — I walked in, pecked her on the cheek, and put my books down on the table.

Mother burst out laughing when I told her what June and I planned to do, but she soon recovered and toldme to take a blanket and she would make me a flask of soup.

The clock in the hall struck twelve as I walked out the door and headed for the park. But June was not at the Moon Stadium when I arrived so I sat down and looked around. It was a small part of the park which had been changed into a small scale model of a part of the surface of the moon. There were about ten huge craters, and dust and rocks scattered about.

A light shone from a small patch of the stadium so I went to investigate, thinking it was June, and to my horror found a strange craft landing in a crater. Two men came out one after the other and spoke to each other in a strange language. They piled some sand and rocks into a bag, climbed back in and left.

I rushed home and told mother, Mr. President, and here I am now telling you all about it.

"Go home child, and enough of your fantasies", was his answer. So nobody believes me, not even June. But I did really see it happen.

PLOT R. Chitfleborough 1.2

Tiki, the seal point cat, purred softly. Beside her,

three new-born kittens suckled energetically. They

had been born just three hours before, on the night

of November the fifth so naturally their names could

be nothing else but "Gunpowder", "Treason" and

"Plot".

From the start, Gunpowder (alias Corriander) had

been the most mischievous of the three. He was the

first to topple over the side of the cardboard kitten­

ing box and the first to eat.

Treason (Nutmeg) was usually beside his big brother

all the way but Plot (Cardamon) was the exact oppo­

site of his two adventurous brothers. He was quiet,

didn't play, just slept (usually in the sand tray).

After about four weeks, the adventure of the year

came to the three kittens. They were shown the out­

side world. This new "world" was really only an en­

closed garden with a waterfall in the middle, but the

kittens enjoyed it all the same.

There were rocks around the waterfall which en­

abled all the cats to walk around it. However, the

kittens had never seen water in a pool before, and

they just had to touch it. This ended up with two

sopping wet kittens being dried with a towel in the

bathroom.

When they were twelve weeks old, Gunpowder and

Treason were taken to their promised homes, but Plot

stayed with us until his mistress was ready for him.

While he was waiting, he and the other two adult

cats went with us to Garden Island.

While they were there, they were taken for a ride

on a surfboard. Plot did not like this, and in the

space of five minutes, he was in the water, swimming

to the shore like a dog — tail in the air. It was only

about two yards to swim but he was very proud of

himself and stood on the shore, daring the other cats

to join him.

From then on, the timid kitten which we had

known, vanished, and in his place was an adventurous,

cheeky little cat called Plot.

NIGHT RIDE

A witch took flight.

Upon her magic broom

She soared

Into the dark heavens.For 'twas midnight

And nought but

Fear

Roamed the silent world.

With a cackle of laughter She dodged the

Ghost-like clouds That tried to stop her

As she raced

To some unsightly task.

BOSS

The barren brown of virgin soil — Challenge P

Hatred, for the job he held.He stood among the rest, one sheep in a flock.

Tanned and muscular — he stood out.

Fair hair, blue eyes, of stately stature—He alone looked capable of getting his way into the rock.

They moved when commanded and began to hack and pick and dig.

They soon tired. He did not.His back glistened with beads of sweat —

as the noon-day sun went for her dip.His bulging muscles revelled at the chance to display their power.

He swung his pick high ... it fe II to earth with tremendous strength

And flying pieces of dirt and rubble landed all around.

Billy time!

He sat alone and drank his cheap metal cupful.

His blue eyes relaxed as his fair head nodded.

Work time!

Up they came. They hacked and picked and dug.

They soon tired again. Slowly they went.He did not tire, he kept an even beat of man against time.

He had to.

He was the boss.Chris Randall 5.12

I like the sound of the speed boat engines when they start up in the clear crisp mornings, and the clear

cool spray that floats up into the air when a skier starts off.

FRED (Another of these Australian tough guys)

Into the town rode two gun Fred

Throwin' slugs and pumpin' lead.

He's got yellow stains on his big buck teeth

And a great big knife in its possum sheath.

From his mouth hangs a burnt up fag

His shirt is nothin' but a rag

His first stop is as usual at the pub

After that he'll get some grub.

When the people hear him cornin' they bolt

From the revolvin' guns and his outlaw colt.

They all fear two-gun Fred

Who throws his slugs an' pumps his lead.

He thinks the weather is fine

And he'll be back another time

And after about an hour he's well away

Until then we wait for another exciting day.

A MIRACLEA small boy stumbled home. His home was a

shabby hut. His father had died a few years ago.

Every day he went out selling newspapers.

Tonight when he reaches home he will probably have a piece of bread and a drink of water.

At last he reached home. His mother was washing clothes. He sat down and ate his small dinner. His

mother was thin and shivery. She didn't look at all

well. The boy looked worried and asked if she was

alright. She said she was fine.

That night she collapsed in her bed. The small boy

was so frightened he ran out to find help.

Ruth Jolley 1.4

He wandered all night. At last he found a doctor's house. Cold and hungry he rang the bell. When he

had told everything to the doctor, they went back to

the mother.

The doctor found he had to operate on the mother.

He rushed her to the hospital.

The little boy was frightened and prayed for help.

At last the ordeal was over and the doctor appeared

with a smile. The little boy thought the doctor had

done a wonderful miracle.

skinny green pullover and your sixty denier stockings mended with red and blue cotton and your unpolished shoes

and your tie with many threads pulled out and I think to myself, “Gee, Miss Collegian . . . you're a mess!!!"

Citizenship

Again this year we have helped to support a Korean family. We have had letters of appreciation from the Choe-Kum-joo family written in Korean and then translated into English. It is good to know that our money had been put to such fine use.

Each year our efforts have increased and up to date we have raised $59.18 for the British and Foreign Bible Society for the Choe-Kum-joo family and for other organisations. We are now raising money for the Rice Bowl Appeal. Each class has some activity

planned. A very successful wild life and science exhi­bition and an amusing //Slaves,J market raised a fur­ther $7 for the Rice Bowl Appeal. A flower-arranging competition, a tuck shop, a concert and a fashion parade are suggestions for later in the term.

We have not yet decided the winning house for the Citizenship Shield but at the moment Athens is leading with 901 house points. Rome is next with 842, then Troy and Sparta with 740 and 731 house

points.

Junior Library

The library is still as popular as ever. Many new novels and reference books have been added during the year.

The girls look forward to the book reviews and talks by Mrs. Edwards, and after the talks the books usually disappear very quickly from the shelves.

Our thanks go to the kind parent who made a donation which helped to buy a set of Childcraft books, which all girls have appreciated. A copy of

the magazine 77Tell Me Why"' is also being donated to the library each week and is proving interesting and popular. We have also acquired two lovely geography and history books which are full of natural colour photographs, with very interesting facts about nearly every country and period of history.

Once again we give our thanks to Mrs. Edwards and Miss Murphy, who help us to enjoy a wide variety

of books.

LUNCH TIME with GRADES 1 and 2

OrchestraBarclay House girls enjoy an orchestra period

every Monday afternoon and on Wednesday at lunch. The girls bring along their own recorders, flutes, clarinets, or violins and the school provides glocks, drums, and triangles.

Jane Raphael is learning the 'cello which will be added to the orchestra this term while Janice Mc­Cauley is practising accompanying on the piano.

Mrs. Macdougal teaches the girls to play the violins and Miss Shimmins teaches the wind instru­ments and conducts the orchestra as a whole.

Many girls entered for the instrumental section of the Heather Lamont Festival.

At present the girls are busily practising for speech night items. Clare McNeil (playing the treble re­corder), Jenny Pell (the tenor recorder), and Nicola Stern (the flute), are to accompany one of the choir carols.

All the girls of the orchestra wish to thank Miss Shimmins and Mrs. Macdougal for their help and patience.

BARCLAY HOUSE ORCHESTRA

Langsford HouseThis year has been a very eventful one for all at

Langsford. Miss Robbins has been the mistress in charge, and Miss Petkovic sometimes takes us. Miss Petkovic is getting married at the end of this year so, unfortunately for us, she will be leaving. Also during the year we have had Miss Edmond, Miss Morre and Miss Stott.

In first term we had a social with Wesley and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. We also saw "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". In second term Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd invited us to tea, which was delicious; afterwards we enjoyed ourselves by

playing games. We extend our thanks to them for this.

So far in third term we have attended a wild life show with Miss Morre, and some of us attended the lovely ballet "Giselle".

During October there is to be a fete held for Langsford, where it is hoped every girl will show a piece of her own handiwork. The money raised will go towards something for Langsford.

This year has been a happy one at Langsford House, and we appreciate the help and kindness of all the mistresses.

SWIMMINGThe inter-house Swimming Carnival for Barclay

House was won by Rome whose captain is Jennifer Freedman. The junior champion cup was won by Alison Dale who was followed by runner-up Nanette Hamer.

LIFE-SAVINGTwo teams of four entered for the State Life-saving

Carnival held at Beatty Park Pool. The team entered for the Curran Cup, gaining first place, while the team competing for the Anderson Cup came fourth.

Many girls passed the life-saving awards during the swimming season. In the Elementary section there were nineteen passes, in the Proficiency there were twenty-seven, and three girls passed the Intermediate Star exam.

DIVINGThis year, for the first time, Methodist Ladies'

College entered a team in the School Diving Pennant championship held at Beatty Park Pool. The team won the pennant easily with a score of fifty points. In the team of four, two girls were from Barclay House. They were Alison Dale and her sister, Judith.

Earlier in the year, a "divathon" was held in the school pool. It was run to raise money for a new Duraflex springboard and fulcrum for the three metre tower. Many girls took part, each girl doing fifty

dives. It was a very successful event as the amount raised was $516 exactly.

ATHLETICSBoth competitors and spectators enjoyed a sunny

afternoon on the tenth of October — which was our Sports Day. As usual the march was first but this time Miss Robbins gave a cup for the winning team — which was Troy. The sports were very close be­tween three houses and it was not until the last event that the winning house was decided. Troy was the successful team, followed three points behind by Rome and then Sparta. Michele Overheu was cham­pion athlete, with Adele Cain as runner-up.

On the twenty-fifth of September the six best runners forming a relay team were invited to P.L.C. to run against Loreto, Perth College, Penrhos and P.L.C. Perth College came first with M.L.C. in second place.

TEAM SPORTSAt the moment we are playing softball but last

term we played basketball and enjoyed friendly matches against P.L.C., City Beach and Loreto Convent.

We would like to thank Mrs. Taylor and Miss Murphy for coaching us in both softball and basket­ball. Thanks also to Miss Hardwick, Mrs. Gobolos and Miss Wadsworth for all the help they gave us in the sports.

ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTIONS

DEATH OF THE MAGPIESIt is a hot day in spring, in the year 1969. This

year I had chosen a new mate, she was as sweet and charming a mate as anyone could hope for. With our cousins we made our nests in two pine trees, in the grounds of a school — the inhabitants? Human girls. The humans often came running towards our nests; they looked so fierce, we were sure they would attack us and rob us of our beloved eggs.

Today lots of human girls came, but for once they were peaceful, even if, only a few minutes earlier a few of them came to grab our eggs, but we warned them off and away they went. Now they are moving around in a most peculiar way. Above the tall and graceful pine trees, swaying in a gentle breeze, we looked down upon the strange scene of humans. Large humans stood in front and seemed to command the other smaller girls who stood in a long line and went about in the most amusing movements. We called our friends from across the road to join us in our audience and they came willingly to watch with us.

All of a sudden a shot rang out through the air. I saw with great horror and dismay my beautiful mate drop dead to the ground. Our guests flew away in panic; another shot followed and I saw one of our cousins just miss a brutal bullet and escape to a nearby tree. Then I felt a bullet through my . . . stomach ... I fell to the ground ... I fluttered . . .

It ... is ... all .. . over!

GREENGreen is the colour of many things,Like grasshoppers and jade.

Green is the co'our of coolness,Peppermint sticks and trees.

Green is the colour of envy;Some people won't even wear green.

Green is the colour of emeralds And cats' eyes in the dark;The sea is sometimes green.

Green is the colour of parrots Flying around grassy glades.

Unripe lemons and peas are green,And greenery gives us shade.

Penelope Cromack, Grade 7J

WAKING UPWaking up,I'm making up these little lines of mine. Getting up,I'm dressing up,

Today I'll write a play.My friends will come,We'll have such fun And when the play is done They'll all go home and tell their mums

about their busy day.Fiona Ashley, Grade 1

LIFE IN BORNEOWe rumbled along through the Padas Gorge in a

small train which held only twelve people. On one side, towering above us, was a jungle-covered cliff, and on the other a turbulent river. It was exciting!

We were travelling from Kota Kinabalu, the capi­tal, to Keningau. It is about fifty miles but it takes four or five hours.

We arrived—and stopped. We bundled out with our baggage and were driven by Landrover along dusty roads. The journey took about an hour.

A few days later I started school there. School started at eight o'clock and ended at one, with only one break of twenty minutes. It was an English medium school, but practically all pupils were Chin­ese. The teachers were mainly Chinese or Indian. One of the subjects was Malay. One period a week we did manual labour, working in the hot tropical sun, sweeping the grounds and picking up leaves. This manual labour was also used as a punishment.

Usually after lunch we played with friends living near us. They were two Indian sisters, Edith and Shirley Estrop. We spent a lot of our time together. When we had meals with them they usually served Indian curry.

The only river we could swim in was eleven miles away. The current was so strong that we couldn't swim up the river. We had to run up the bank, jump in and swim down with the current into shallow water. We shared the river with buffaloes which wallowed in the shallow water and mud further down.

I enjoyed my life in Keningau, but I prefer it in Australia.

THE SLIDEThe ladder's high,Up I go Step by step,Oh so slow;When I've reached the top at last,I can slide down very fast.

Kaye Longson, Grade 4

NO ANSWERI awoke. Where am I, who made me, what am

I for? All these questions flooded my head. Softly drifting, down . . . down . . . down . . . Thousands about me all alike, all wondering the same thing. I was, in existence, I knew only that . . . Why?

Suddenly as if the sun had just dawned I saw a shape ... a round object. Something told me it was . . . yes ... it was the moon. Bumping lightly onto the soft dust I sank into it. Then I saw a thing, strange to me, grab me up and drop me in a box. A queer man ... or was it one . . .yes ... it was a man in a suit of plastic. I saw only darkness when he closed the lid. Feeling no more I was left un­conscious.

It seemed as if the world had passed, I do not know to this moment how long it was until that same man opened the box again. I heard him roar: "I wonder if there are any microbes in this dust?" Maybe I was a microbe, I wasn't dust . . . yes I am one.

There was another bump. My life seems full of bumps. But this time I was upside down. Carefully I felt myself being lifted into someone's hands. "Are you all right, Neil?"

"O.K., Buzz. We landed upside down. Everything else was perfect."

I fell asleep again. But I was awakened by pain pain . . . pain . . .it rushed through me. I am still feeling this pain. My life is ending. The astronauts are in quarantine. But pain is all I will ever know . . . My questions have no answer, none for me at all.

Sally-Anne Scott, Grade 6

AT THE BEACHOne day we went to the beach. We found a star­

fish and some shells. We went to buy an ice cream and then had a swim. After lunch we played on the sand, and then went home and had tea.

Before we went to bed we said Thank you for a very nice day.

Amen.

Helen Appleyard, Grade 2

A SUMMER NIGHTIt was about eleven o'clock and I was restlessly

tossing in bed. The room was hot and stuffy with the summer air. My body felt sticky and uncomfort­able from the heat. Suddenly my father stepped into the doorway of my room and suggested I might like to go outside and lie on the tatami mat. I jumped up, grabbed my pillow and rug and scrambled out­side. In a few minutes I was lying comfortably on my back.

The cool winds blew past my face, refreshing my body. I looked up at the dark blue velvet night and the dazzling diamonds in the sky. The moon was like a shimmering opal, and the Southern Cross was clearly visible from where I lay. It looked as if the stars were diamonds set in the shape of a cross on velvet.

I closed my eyes and everything was silent, except for the croak of a frog from the swamp, and the click of a cricket. As I was falling asleep I could hear pussy purr and feel the patting of his claws in my hair.

Sally Robins, Grade 7K

SUMMER THOUGHTS

Clover all over,

Green grass like glass,

Cows that drowse

On a summer's day,

These are the sights I love.

Sheep that bleat,

Chicks that cheep,

Bees that buzz

On a summer's day,

These are the sounds I love.

Salad so fresh,

Strawberries and cream,

Iced lemonade

On a summer's day,

These are the tastes I love.

THE CAT AND THE FAIRYOne day a little cat was lost. A fairy appeared.

"Why are you sad and crying?"

"I am lost," said puss.

"Oh, you poor thing. I will take you home." So she did.

"Now you are at home, you may have some milk and then you must go to sleep."

After a while the kind fairy said: "Wake up, kitten, it is time to get up. You stay here till I come back, for I must go to fairyland and tell the King what has happened."

"Goodbye," said the fairy.

"Goodbye," said pussy, crying. "Come back soon."

Jacqueline Immelman, Grade 2

BACK STAGEThings look different behind stage. As you enter,

you see the heavy curtains which hide the audience from your view. Thick ropes hang freely down, wait­ing for the curtain to be raised. Already the tech­nicians are on their platform at one side of the curtain, looking down on the stage and testing their lights.

Close to the entrance are the dressing rooms, the small rooms for the stars and the large rooms for the rest of the cast. The dancers make their way to the dressing rooms and begin to change into their colourful costumes. As each dancer finishes chang­ing, she presents herself to the make-up artist who applies the rouge, lipstick and powder, fixes her hair ornament and adjusts her costume.

The stage manager, over the microphone, calls the cast for the first scene. The dancers hurry to take up their positions on stage to await the curtain rise. Everyone becomes silent, the music commences, the curtain rises and the show begins.

THE SQUIRRELWhisky, frisky, hippity hop,

Up he goes to the tree top.Whirly, twirly, round and round,

Down he scampers to the ground.Swirly, curly, what a tail,

Long as a feather, broad as a sail.Where's his supper?

In the shell,Snappy, cracky,

Out it fell.Diana McKenzie, Grade 4

ARTI create noses which look like roses,And trees like lollipops out of proportion;My sheep would drop dead if they tried to bleat, But I enjoy art!

Michele Overheu, Grade 7K

FLOWERSI was picking a bunch of flowers when I saw a rabbit Sitting down eating a carrot.He was lost.1 put the flowers down on the grass then ran over to the rabbit and picked him up.Then I went back to get

my flowers.I took the rabbit and the flowers home to mummy.

Mummy liked theflowers but I liked the rabbit best.

Katy Barnett, Grade 1

A MERRY-GO-ROUNDHave you ever been on a merry-go-round,One that whizzes round and round?There are horses to sit on All painted like new,And bright, happy music that goes with it, too. Merry-go-rounds are found at the show,Parks and circuses, too, you know.Big kids and little kids both like the ride,And sometimes mothers stand by the side.You can go with your sister, your brother or friend, And ride side by side, right to the end.

C. Watt, Grade 7K

DOVESWatch the white doves, grey doves, as they fly

away.

In a tree a dove is sitting watching you. Every move you make the dove has his eye on you. Fly away, spread your wings in the moonlight. It is so sad to see them go . . . Watch the white doves, grey doves as they fly away.

Amanda Sears, Grade 3
