Our Guest of Honour, Sir Frederick Samson, Right Rev. Monsignor, Reverend Fathers, Reverend Brothers, Friends and Students of Aquinas:

I have the honour to present to you the Annual Report of this College in its Seventythird year. In doing so I shall outline the highlights of the school year and develop at greater length a few topics that call for comment.

ENROLMENT.

The school total now stands at 780, an increase of ten upon the roll of the previous year. There are 566 Secondary, 214 Primary students, and of these, 264 are boarders. The rapid increase in the school population over the past few years has now levelled off, and until another stream is introduced at either the primary or secondary level, there will be no significant change in total in the future. It is desirable that the growth of the school be controlled and its ceiling be so determined that a strong bond of personal relationship between teacher and pupil be maintained. On the other hand, it is our policy to open our doors to as many of the Catholic youth of Western Australia as is possible.

Applicants for entry at primary level far exceed vacancies. Despite an increase of forty in the residential college over the past three years, the vacancies were soon fi lied. This demand for entry is not only seen as a tribute to the college, and a mark of confidence by the Catholic community in Aql1inas as a centre of Catholic education, but it also highlights the grave need for Catholic teachers and for finance to provide the necessary extensions to our system of schools.

CHAPEL.

At last the promise of many years has been realized. August 12th will long be remembered as the day on which their Lordships, Bishop McKeon and Bishop Goody combined to bless the Chapel and celebrate the first Mass. The whole ceremony was enhanced by the use of the vernacular, and for the first time the laity had the opportunity to appreciate the dignity and beauty of such a ritual. Three years ago I joined with Bro. Hall, my predecessor, in guaranteeing the speedy building of a College Chapel. The delays were understandable, for only in March, 1965, did the instructions for the proper implementation of the Constitution on Sacred Liturgy become effective, and' only

then did the planners feel confident of the trend taken by recent liturgical development.

It has been sited at the focal point of the campus. There is little that can be called traditional in a Chapel featuring externally a wall whose enveloping movement and strong-like character suggests strength and security to all who worship within, and whose upward sweep lifts our thoughts to heaven. Within there is found an impressive setting for corporate worship - windows whose symbolism will deepen liturgical understanding, and whose light and colour have created an atmosphere emotionally satisfying, a nave and sanctuary whose intimacy stresses the communal nature of the worship, and a roughly hewn altar that emphazises the drama of the Sacrifice.

The spirit of the new liturgy is exemplified by the beaten copper crucifix depicting Christ in triumph, victorious over devil and sin as He intercedes on man's behalf with His own life and raises in man the hope of a glorious surrection. In the same medium, we have Our Lady whose tender and lasting concern for her children is powerfully portrayed in the flow of line and solicitous hands.

We are forever indebted to our architects, E. Henderson, G. Thompson and J. Thomson, to our bui Ider, C. Wi Idy, to the many sub-contractors who took great pains to produce each in his own way a work of art, and to the artists themselves, Dan Mazzotti for his Stations of the Cross, Ted Gowers and Albert Brown for the windows and entrances, Voitre Marek for the copper work in both sanctuary and nave. We likewise thank all who have contributed to the cost of the building. For God, for our Faith, and for our College, we have endeavoured to provide the best that art can offer. The Chapel sums up the purpose towards which all college activities are dedicated. May it deepen the religious spirit of the students and lead them to a more vital membership of Christ's Mystical Body.

EXPANSION.

The growth in student population has necessitated an extension of the building programme. Even before the Chapel was completed, work was commenced upon the completion of the residential wing. Since 1938 when the first portion of this building was opened, visitors have constantly enquired about the completion of the main facade. The willingness on the part of the State Government to pay interest' subsidy upon loans for the extension of residential accommodation has enabled this project to be advanced by some years. When completed next March, the college will possess an administration area able

to cope with the school's growth, a Community residence that wi II enable the Brothers, now scattered and ill-placed, to live a more closely knit religious life, and rooms for the senior boarders that will give them admirable study conditions, and a measure of privacy that adolescents require, without loss of that communal atmosphere that boys appreciate so much. The old Chapel will be used to provide more amenities and more comfortable living for the resident students. The hospital will be moved from its temporary dwelling into the main building, and so make way for the eventual replacement of the wooden buildings that have proved invaluable over the past twenty years.

Next year, taking advantage of a Commonwealth Grant, it is planned to extend the science facilities at the college. This may come as (] surprise to some but it 5hould be understood that our commitments in this field are very heavy, that of the 566 senior students ninet)! per cent study two science units and that the college is responsible for twenty per cent of science taught in the Catholic schools of this State. I would like to record here the magnificent work that is being accomplished by Br. McKenna, both here at Aquinas and in his capacity as member of the Commonwealth Science Advisory Committee. There is no Independent School in W.A. that has not had the advantage of his knowledge and advice, and we are particularly happy to have him to plan and supervise this important addition.

FREEWAY.

Recently you would have read in the daily of the plans to extend the Kwinana Freeway, plans that propose as an alternative route the fo;eshore and actual property of the College.

Thirty years ago, this site was selected as being ideal for the development of a dayboarding College, to serve both country and metropolitan areas - a site convenient for day scholars, expansive enough for the needs of a large residential segment and the demands of extra class activity, and withdrawn from the noise and bustle of metropolitan traffic to render it a place for quiet study and serious learning.

The plans are gradually unfolding, but will take generations to mature fully, for this school is meant to serve not only this generation but the generations to come The development of the school must necessarily be slow and ordered, and those who speak with' impatience about the undeveloped property lack the depth of vision of our predecessors, and are interested in only short term results for their own generation.

Last year, I drew your attention to the long range plan whereby the Junior School Wing will eventually be absorbed into the Senior School and the Juniors wi II move out to a chosen site on the north-west slope of Mt. Henry. Any Freeway development along the College foreshore will render unsatisfactory, future building on this site. Such a route is unnecessary and actually reduces the service to the area for which this stage of the Freeway is mainly intended. The proposal is entirely to the College's disadvantage and throws into jeopardy the realization of the full potential of this site.

Rightly so the Catholic Community looks with pride upon the growth of Aquinas. It is your property and we have a responsibility to our predecessors who laid the foundations, and to your children's children who will send their sons to the College, to ensure that the site is in no way impaired as Perth develops.

RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES.

Last July another Old Aquinian, John Flynn, was ordained a Priest of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate, better known as the Pallotine Order. A few days later he celebrated Mass in the College Chapel and afterwards addressed the school assembly. Fr. Flynn was employed in the Public Service for some years before entering a Congregation that devotes most of its apostolic work in the interests of the aborigines. May his example be an inspiration to many who saw and heard him that day, an inspiration to go and do in like manner.

This year the annual school Retreats were held at Point Peron away from the climate of school work and period bells to one of quiet reflection. It was in the nature of an experiment. Father C. Dennehy, C.SS.R., Father J. Carroll, O.M.!., and Father Fintan, O.F.M., teamed together to plan a programme with appeal to adolescents. The majority of the senior boys favoured the move though they did experience difficulty in maintaining religious fervour in an area that they have come to associate with gaiety and relaxation.

Once again I extend my thanks to the College Chaplain, Rev. R. Crotty, O.S.B., for his attention to the spiritual needs of the Community and students and for his co-operation throughout the year. The Legion of Mary, The St. Vincent de Paul and the YC.S. continue to provide the seniors with the opportunity to deepen their spiritual lives and to engage in charitable works.

JUBILEE.

During the year three who joined the Congregation of Christian Brothers within a month of each other and who each taught at Aquinas celebrated the 60th year of their entrance into

the Congregation. Br. P. A. Rahill, now of Geelong, is affectionately remembered by Old Aquinians of the early 20's. Br. T. B. Garvey was Headmaster of Aquinas from 1945-1950, and then our Provincial from 1954 until June, 1966. Early this year he attended a General Chapter of the Congregation in Rome. This is the first time for many years he has not been with us for Speech Night. Br. M. F. Redmond needs no introduction with a total of thirty-five years at Aquinas, with a record of having taught grandsons of his former pupi Is, decorated by the Governor a fortnight ago with the M.B.E., and now on his way to New Zealand where he spent the first six years of his teaching career. His praises have been sung at various celebrations throughout the year. With pride and honour, they can look back upon their long term of service for God and for Christian youth, and with joy reflect upon the growth of a Congregation they have loved so much. We pray God that all three will enjoy good health in their days of retirement and that their noble example will urge many of our own students likewise to dedicate their lives to the education of our youth.

ACADEMIC REVIEW.

Dux of the College for 1966 is Peter Gardner, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Gardner, of Doubleview. Peter enrolled at Aquinas College from De La SalleCollege, Midland, in Fourth Year. Not on ability alone did he gain this honour but by six school terms of intensive study. Peter's activity outside the classroom was necessarilv limited but he was a member of the 1965 Abrolhos Expedition and he did represent W.A. in the Australian Judo Championships in Adelaide last May. He plans to do a course in Science at the W.A. University.

Proxime Accessit is John Waddingham, of Harvey - another late arrival, enrolling as a boarder in 1965, and another talented, industrious student. Of quiet disposition he remained unnoticed unti I he gained representation in the school athletic team and won major academic awards in 1965. He too was a member of the Abrolhos party and together with Peter, a Prefect in his final year. John intends to enrol in the Faculty of Science.

The 1965 Leaving Class distinguished themselves in the Public Examinations - 44 Matriculations, 63 Leaving Certificates and 10 Partials, 56 Distinctions, 23 Government Tertiary Scholarships. The Dux, Richard Chaney, gained a Government Exhibition and seven Distinctions, repeating the performance of his brother, Fred -a unique distinction for any family. During the past three years 76 Aquinians have gained Commonwealth Scholarships. It is heartening to the Catholic community to see so many young Catholics receiv-

ing awards that will make possible b tertiary education and entry into the professional world. With great interest we watch this large group as they progress through the University. There were 121 Passes in the Junior Certificate examinations with 24 Commonwealth Secondary Scholarships.

Richard Fox, dux of the school in 1960, has been awarded a British Commonwealth Scholarship to Oxford. He follows in the footsteps of Peter Dallimore and Lawrie Davidson, both of whom have returned to Australia upon completion of their Doctorates of Philosophy.

SCIENCE.

Once again an expedition under the care of Br. O'Loughlin spent a week on the Abrolhos Islands. This extension of their studies to a more practical plan has provided the students with valuable experience in research and a week of pleasant company with school mate:; and teachers. The National Museum in Sydney and both the Mitchell Library of New South Wales and the National Library in Canberra have all expressed high praise for the quality of the work.

Four projects were prize winners in the Science Talent Search, promoted by the Science Teachers' Association - Colin Webster's study of sun spots, Martin Barbetti's and Michael Coffey's project on fern life, Joseph Williamson's and Warwick Mathew's report upon th2 habits of reptiles on the Abrolhos, and Michael McGrath's study of galaxy noise interference Any supplementing of cl'1sS work by individual research is encouraged and we would like to see all who are proceeding to tertiary courses have some experience in researcr. whilst still at schoo!

CAREERS.

The rapid industrial and economic growth of the country has given rise to new technologies - technologies that are dependent more and more upon knowledge, less and less upon manual skill. The occupations where one learnt all there was to learn in his 'teens are fast thinning out, and the youth of to-day will need an extension of his schooling to meet the challenges of to-morrow. For the successful matriculant, there are now available many suitable alternatives to University study. In the normal Leaving class at Aquinas, thirty per cent may be expected to enrol at the University, thirty per cent return to properties or family business, the other forty per cent to enter Public Service or to be employed by private enterprise. I draw the attention of parents to the rapid development of technical training and the growth of the new Institute of Technology at Bentley where is being offered already a wide selection of diploma courses that would admirably suit so many of our school leavers. Our young people must be prepared to seriously

undertake post-Leaving courses if they are to play more than a subservient role in the country's futu reo

With the diversity of careers and the trend towards specialization, the choice of a career the first major decision in a youth's life, is becoming increasingly difficult. Good academic results may even create problems, and when the student is confronted by a choice of scholarships and cadetships, he must be careful lest his selection, while easing the financial burden, lead him into a career that in later years will prove frustrati ng.

Although our librarian is bUilding up an impressive shelf of literature on careers, and teachers themselves are always willing to give advice, the time is approaching when the College will need to introduce a student councillor, perhaps sharing his services with other Catholic: schools. His primary duty will be to assist a student in the organization of his studies and in the selection of a career. He would in no sense render the teachers' pastoral role superfluous, for I would be reluctant to see any teacher withdraw from the role of personal guide and confidant to those youngsters who hove come to respect and trust him. Few boys fai I to respond to the self-sacrifice and high ideals of a teacher. This plaCES a teacher in a unique position. Where a parent may feel diffident or embarrassed, a teacher can enter into intimate discussion, offer frank advice and still withdraw from the youngster's personal life to leave him free to make his own decision. The intensification of a teacher's programme is making more difficult the opportunity for any such informal contact and guidance. This pastoral role must not be neglected if we are to justify the sacrifice of parents who continue to support our Catholic schools, for it is not only academic training that they seek for their sons but character development and a sound moral basis for thei r behaviour.

Whilst I have encouraged parents to send thei r sons on to fifth year, I do stress one prerequisite, a willingness on the part of the boy himself to study. Not all of our senior students will be successful and the results of many will not reflect their sincere efforts and our satisfaction with their approach to work. It is of graver concern to see the more talented boy satisfied with his mediocre performance and receiving congratulations for a mere pass when distinctions should have been the level of his attainment.

CULTURAL.

The Drama Society is within the school the most vital of those groups that might be said to inculcate an appreciation of the better things of life. The Society prepares plays for the Catholic Drama Festival, the Independent Schools' Festival and its own Drama Evening in the College Hall. The first saw a top clas; performance of "The Lady's Not For Burning," and the last mentioned qave us a bracket of wonderfully refreshing sketches by first and second year groups. The principal director has been Brother McAppion whose work over the last six years has brought his entry into the final of each year's Catholic Drama. Festival. He has the rare gift of not only producing prize winning performances but of developing within the cast a love for thei r work, and a desi re and confidence to produce successfully their own plays as witnessed at the College Drama Evening. His artistry and good taste is strongly reflected in the quality of the College Annual, whose Editor he has been since 1963. For some years he has assisted Brother Cleaver in tf,e production of the musical and this year he has assumed the role of director of to-night's performance of Rogers and Hammerstein's 'Oklahoma" -a frightening challenge but 0 delightful opportunity for students whether principals or choir to team together to represent this well-known musical.

At this point I take the opportunity of paying tribute to Brother Cleaver who wos transferred at the beginning of the year to Fremantle after ten years on the staff at Aquinas. Many parents and friends knew him best as our musical director where his repertoire covered the popular Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas and the recently scored JIOliver" and "My Fair Lady." Our sports followers knew him as an enthusiastic coach whose greatest triumph was the re-vitalizing of a depressed swimming group from last place to 1964 P.S.A. champions. His students will remember him os a religious teacher of energy and inspiration who accomplished tasks far beyond the scope of natural talent by his recognition of difficulties as nothing more than stepping stones to greatness. His first assignment was to teach a primary class in the ne""ly-constructed garage, his last to introduce accountancy into the upper classes of the secondary school. In between he gave the College and its students ten years of unstinted labour -a colourful personality who will be long remembered and appreciated by Aquinians of the last decade.

PREFECTS.

Captain of the school is Michael O'Meara, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. O'Meara, of St. Lucia, formerly of Guildford. For Michael this is the culmination of eight years of College life full of activity and distinction. He has been a regular academic prize winner, a performer in musicals and drama, winner of the Cullity Award for 1965, a consistent winner in P.S.A. swimming and athletics, Captain of this year's premier 1st XI Hockey, and Senior Cadet Under Officer. Michael has benefited from such an enriched school life without detriment to his studies. He, himself, and his prefects have responded well to the demands of their office and have enjoyed the respect and loyalty of fellow-students. He was assisted by Christopher Back, Malcolm Basell, Ross Bryant, Paul Buchholz, David Franklin, Michael Gallagher, Peter Gardner, John Godfrey, Geoffrey Hesford, Trevor Lamond, Robert Langer, John Lysaght,Gino Menchetti, Francis Siowiak, Ivan Thompson, John Waddingham, Peter Walton, Peter Ward and Denis Wellington.

SPORT.

At this point I am tempted to pass by quickly the year's activity, the local press having given us such publicity -the Darlot Cup for the fifth successive year, a "clean sweep" at the Head of the River, a shared premiership in the hockey, and a resounding victory at the "Inters" - success enough to satisfy the most ardent schoolboy. In congratulating the teams and thanking the coaches for such splendid performances I offer a few comments.

It has been school policy to expect every student to participate in the House athletic and swimming carnivals, to be actively engaged in 0 summer and winter sport, and to train seriously in any sport in which he is capable of a representation. In this way his experiences extend beyond the physical benefits of the exercise and he does come to look outside himself, to serve the interests of his group rather than hi's own se If-g lori fi cation,

In both the athletics and rowing the sight of youngsters without any pretensions towards sporting prowess, setting themselves twin goals of representation and success, and achieving both by faithful adherence to an arduous, long range programme, has been an inspiration to the whole school. I only hope that this effect is transferable to the realms of study and postschool life - the realisation that goals are only achieved after long and persevering effort.

May I extend the thanks of the College to the parents and friends of the Rowing Club whose appreciation of the 1965 results assumed such generous proportions that two racing eights have since been blessed and named - 'The Aquinas IV" that led the way in this year's Head of the River and the "c. J. Wroblewski" named after our senior coach of the 1922-1944 era. Likewise let me thank those of you who gave so generously of time and talent to coach our teams from Under 11 to P.S.A. representatives. Your coaching skill as evidenced by the results is appreciated, but even more so is your influence for good upon these maturing youth. Sometimes this form of assistance creates its own problems but here I can sincerely say your contribution is invaluable and without blemish. The College would be seriously handicapped without this assistance. Youngsters welcome this exchange for a teacher and perhaps are more receptive to a visitor who stresses fai r play and lovaltv to team mates and who is more tolerant of the efforts of the battler.

When Junior School and Chapel were con· structed five of the original group of tenn:s courts had to be abandoned. Steps are now being taken to replace these and our thanks are conveyed to Mr. and Mrs. S. Caratti for making possible the initial stages of this project.

CADETS.

The highlight of the year's activity was the review of the cadets at the PaSSing-out Parade by His Excellency, Sir Douglas Kendrew, Governor of Western Australia. The weather was unkind; but the Governor in his gracious manner, ignored the rain to give the cadets a detai led inspection and individual attention leaving them with vivid impressions of a memorable day. The unit approaches 300 in strength, allowing participation by all from Junior to Leaving. There are few exemptions, and a student has to show good cause as to why he seeks to avoid an activity that the School considers so beneficial. This is one of the extraclass activities that provide an opportunity for boys to undertake areas of responsibility, to respect and accept authority delegated to one of their number, to live as a close community. in

camp and bivouac away from the protective influence of the home. I strongly recommend participation in the January camps for potential N.C.O's. and Under Officers, and at the same time, deplore the action of some parents who needlessly seek exemption from the annual camp for their sons.

In promoting cadets, the school is not inculcating any militarist outlook in its students, but it does hope that a youth upon approach to manhood, will proudly feel himself to be an integrated member of a nation, rightly enjoying the benefits of freedom within a democracy and equally aware of his responsibility to defend in turn this precious heritage handed down to him at such cost by his forebears.

My personal thanks to Major Egan, to Captain Worner, this year awarded the cadet forces medal by the Governor for twelve years of service in Cadets, ond to all other Officers and Under-Officers for a valuable contribution to school life.

LAY TEACHER.

The relative decline in vocations to the teach i ng orders has augmented the problems caused by a growing population, a longer period of schooling, smaller classes and more specialized teaching. This has given rise to the establishment of a permanent body of lay teachers within our Catholic schools. The apostolate within the Church is not the prerogative of Priests, Brothers, and Nuns. All as Catholics have a duty in this field and the teacher who elects to educate our own youth is engaging in the field of apostolic work, "par excellence." For his role is not merely to teach his pupils in secular subjects but in the words of Pope Pius XII, "to form true christians, who will serve Christ, the Church, and human society. "

In his own right the lay teacher has much to offer. His closer link to family life and every-day problems will give him greater understanding of the pupils' background, of the pressures, conflicts and strains in the modern home and present-day society. And so he will find himself in an advantageous position to assist the adolescent in his moral and social problems. The majority of his students are destined for careers as laymen, and he has this wonderful opportunity to impress them with his ability and with his readiness to express in word and action his genuine conviction of Christian· truths.

The school in turn has the obligation to remunerate him in accord with his qualifications and the nobility of his profession, and to allocate to him such areas of responsibility as will make him feel an integral member of staff. At this

point may I thank the lay staff for their cooperation and their competence. I feel confident that they are making, and will continue to make, just that impact on the students I have outlined.

THANKS.

There are several groups to whom we are indebted and to whom I extend sincere thanks and appreciation. To Matron Miller and Sister Dawson for their constant, efficient care of our boarders, attending to their wants, their aches and pains, and providing the maternal touch in a masculine environment. To Mrs. Garratt and the members of the Auxiliary upon whom even heavier demands were made this year. Their own functions and their services at the college have not only assisted the school materially but have helped us entertain our guests in a fitting manner. One of the beautiful Sanctuary windows is their contribution to the Chapel. To the Old Aquinians' Association under the presidency of Mr. Ken Kelsall, for their continued interest in the college, their wonderful tribute they paid to Br. Redmond, the excellence of their quarterly publication, "Fish," the continued

assistance towards the education of students, the provision this year of a permanent area for field athletics on the west side of the Memorial Oval - a project that has already produced fruit at the recent "I nters. " To the Old Aquinians' Hockey Association, for their assistance to our teams and for the opportunity they provide our younger past students for continued fellowship and healthy recreation. We extend our congratulations upon their premiership and promotion to A 1, the senior grade in State hockey. To all others whether permanent staff or friends who have assisted us during the year. And finally to the members of my own Community so limited in number but who have willingly and efficiently coped with so wide a range of activities. To them principally is due the healthy spirit of the college and the large measure of success that has been enjoyed in recent years.

May the coming Christmas bring peace and joy and abundant blessings to you and your families.

BISHOP GOODY celebrates the Mass of Dedication.

"How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven; and it shall be called the court of God."

From the Introit of the Mass of Dedication.

Friday, August 12, 1966, will linger in the memories of all present as a day of spectacle, devotion and achievement, and will be chronicled as the greatest day in the lang history of the College. For on that day the College had a new spiritual centre, a house of God that was indeed "an awe-inspiring place," a house of prayer and a place of sacrifice where engineering and architectural ingenuity vied with classic sculpture, and the artistry of the concrete and glass mozaics.

At 3 o'clock the Headmaster, Rev. Br. J. C. Woodruff, conducted His Lordship Bishop Myles McKeon and His Lordship Bishap Lancelot Goody ta the afficial dais near the south-east entrance of the Chapel. The several hundred guests, and the Senior School Student body warmly applauded the official party. After a welcoming address by Ken Kelsall, the President of the Old Aquinians' Association, Br. Waodruff outlined the story of the Chapel project since its inception, commented on the various changes, modifications, and adaptations that had been made, and thanked all who had taken a part in this glorious enterprize.

At the conclusion of Br. Woodruff's address several seniar students entered the Chapel to participate in the ancient ritual af blessing performed by Bishop McKeon, wha then returned to the dais and addressed the gathering, but particularly the students of the College, and cal:ed upon all to avail themselves of Christ's presence in this temple af grandeur and beauty that was a landmark nat only in the history of the College, but in the spiritual and cultural development af the State.

At the canclusion of Bishop McKeon's address senior students ushered the large gathering inta the Chapel. Special seating arrangements had been made for the day and more than seven hundred parents, friends, guests and students were easily accommodated for the salemn Mass of Blessing celebrated by Bishop Goody, of Bunbury, a past student of Aquinas, who was assisted by Fathers Cunningham and McNamaro, both Aquinians. The Aquinas choir, canducted by Br. McMahan, sang' a Mass and motets specially campased for the occasian by Rev. Fr. Albert Lynch, P.P., Applecross.

Thus in a solemn and fitting manner was this "aweinspiring place" dedicated to the warship of God, for the youth of Aquinas, the religiaus and civic leaders of tomorrow.

EXTRACTS FROM THE OCCASIONAL ADDRESSES.

mr.

PreJdent 0/ Old .AC/uiniaM

Your Lordship Bishop McKeon, Your Lordship Bishop Goody, Mons. Burke, Rev. Fathers, Rev. Brothers, Sisters, Distinguished guests, friends and students of Aquinas:

On behalf of the headmaster and staff, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Aquinas on this amazingly beautiful August afternoon. Firstly, as President of the Old Aquinians' Association, let me say how much the Old Boys appreciate the gesture of the headmaster in allowing us to be formerly associated with the ceremony this afternoon.

The opening of this new Chapel is a tremendous land mark in the history of the college, particularly to those of us who came to Aquinas in 1938 when this magnificent site at Mount Henry was considered to be part of the great outback. To be sure there have been many fine extensions made to the original building and no doubt in the future there will be several more, but now we feel that after twenty-eight years there is a spiritual hub about which life at Aquinas can turn.

We congratulate the headmaster and provincial Council on their decision to proceed with construction in spite of so many other commitments. It is also particularly satisfying that a prominent Old Boy and senior Vice-President of the Old Aquinians' Association, Mr. Gecrge Thompson, was selected to direct the planning of this project.

This is an outstanding building with individual character and beauty that will never become common place with the passing of time. The Architect and Structural Engineer have combined the benefits of concrete and high tensile steel with the beauty and warmth of natural stone and timber to produce a building that retains the finest traditions of the Catholic Church and yet has an outlook that is very modern, basically simple, and completely functional.

Finally, I would like to say how pleased the Old Boys are that the Chapel has been completed and in time to allow the Diamond Jubilee of our very good friend Brother Redmond to be celebrated next Monday in fitting surroundings.

To continue these preliminary remarks, prior to the blessing ceremony, I would like to introduce to you the Headmaster of Aquinas, Rev Brother Woodruff. Bro. Woodruff who is ncw in his fourth year as Headmaster, will always be known, together with Bros. Foley, Murphy and Hall, as one of the great builders of Aquinas. Bro. Woodruff has influenced the major decisbns made in respect to this Chapel and the building now stands as a fitting tribute to the wisdom of those decisions.

My Lord Bishops, Rev. Monsignori, Rev. Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, Parents, Friends and Students of the College:

I wish to thank both his Lcrdship Bishop McKeon and his Lordship Bishop Goody for their presence here to-day. It has very much enhanced our ceremony that we have been able to have both of them, one the Auxiliary Bishop of our own archdiccese, and the other our Old Boy Bishop. I wish to thank them on two accounts, one for the assistance they have given me, perhaps indirectly, in the construction of this Chapel; I learnt a great deal from the recent churches that have been designed and bUilt, both here in Perth and in the diocese of Bunbury - and secondly, our thanks to them for the form of to-day's ceremony.

My thanks too must go to the Architects of this building. When I came here three and a half years ago, the architects approached m: with a certain amount of trepidation. I can still remember the occasion when Mr. George Thompson asked me - "The Chapeldo you really intend to go ahead with it?" For something like ten years there must have been talk concerning the Chapel. At Speech Nights, year after year, it was given prominence and then Brother Hall developed this great plan of his - the Chapel, a senior school and a junior school - it was to be in that order. But when he Idt he had the senior school and the junior school all but completedthe Chapel was still to come.

Now, I also approached it with a great deal of uncertainty, being just a newcomer on the scene and knowing little or nothing about buildings, perhaps less about finance. I had to be diplomatic with the architect and suggest to him that - well give me a little bit of time and I could give him an answer. Well it has taken three years to bring this to fruition. Finance was a problem but we deemed it wise, in any case, to delay because with the Vatican Council came great encouragement to, experiment in church design and so to-day we see this wonderful building, which I feel certain that all of you will be delighted with later on when you get an opportunity to lock at it more closely.

We did have our worries - at first it looked dreadiu!ly small and that. rugged stone wall wasn't built without a good deal of head shnking and doubts being expressed as to whether it was going to fit into the scheme of things, and whEn the heavy fascias went aroull<! the building, I felt inclined even then to tell the architect that perhaps he had better take them down and thin them beC3use _they looked dreadfully large, and yet it was so necessary for us to place great confidence in the architects and I am very glad we did because they have come up with a building that I feel will be timeless, and so my thanks go to the architects, Henderson and ThompsonMr. Edgar Henderson and Mr. George Thompson, who are responsible for Gur recent buildings here at the college and in particular, to their associate architect, Mr. Jim Thompson, who gave so much time to the planning and detail of this building.

My thanks also to Mr. Cyril Wildy, the builder of the Chaoel. He came here fresh from his work at Parliament House, and at no stage did I doubt his ability to do a good job, having seen what he did there. His foreman was Mr. Warburton - it is only watching t"_is building go up that I have come to realise how much we rea:ly depend a foreman for a good job.

Our thanks also go to the other sub-contractors, the Paganin Bros., responsible for the wall, for the marble of the sanctuary and for the altar, and to Mr. Bill Broderick for the external finish to the wall, and very much so to our artists. Perhaps I could mention just three groups and leave it at that - Mr. Ted Gcwers and Brown who designed and constructed the windows, Mr. Dan Mazottiyou see his Stations of the Cross on the back wall of the Chapel. and to Mr. Voyt Marek, from Adelaide, I am very happv that he is here to-day for this ceremony, who designed and created the copper work, crucifix, statute of Our Lady, tabernacle, light pendants, and

so on. I won't comment on their work, I will leave it to you to study at your own time, but I feel we have here work - artistic work that you would expect to find ani yin countries overseas where through the centuries they have built up a reputation in the field of architecture, sculpture and art.

It has been a difficult task. We knew the Chapel wou:d te dwarfed in stature by the buildings around it, but we wanted something that would be unchallenged as the heart of the college, and we feel we have it - and so we have much to be thankful for. We have many to whom we must express thanks, but one more - to Almighty God to whom this Chapel will continue to give glory acd who you might say, has this very day given His seal of approval to the gathering by giving us such a wonderful afternoon for the opening.

Finally, just one word about finance - on this part'cu:ar occasion, we are not having an appeal but I must express my thanks to all those who have helped the college appeal a few years ago, and who have contributed to the construction of this Chapel. If there are any of you who do wish to make a contribution to the Chapel this afternoon, I would suggest that you give it to one of the members of the staff or to the secretary over at the office. If you are anxious for a brochure on the Chapel, they are at the secretary's office.

Bishop McKeon Blesses the Chapel.

Bi6hop mcJGon

Brother Woodruff, My Lord Bishop, Rev. Mosnignori, Rev. Fathers, my dear Brothers and Sisters, Mr. Mayor,Distinguished visitors, and Ladies and Gentlemen:

When Brother Woodruff came to visit me and make arrangements about this grand occasion, this function, he invited me to offer up the first Mass in the new Chapel and I said to him that it would be a good idea if some of the "Old Boys" of Aquinas, who are priests, offered up the first Mass, and then he said, "Well, our most illustrious 'Old Boy' is the Bishop of Bunbury," and so my Lord Bishop it is as the most illustrious. 'Old Boy' of Aquinas College, without any emphasis on the word 'old: we welcome you here this afternoon, and I know that you are happy to be with us as we are happy to have you with us to celebrate the first Holy Mass in the new Chapel. Apart from the consideration that you are an Old Boy of Aquinas, I think there are other reasons which give you a semi-title to be present, when we consider that some of the stones from the Chapel were quarried in your Diocese and I hope that some of the stones were paid for by some of the 'Old Boys' of your Diocese. And that brings me to the point where I must pay tribute to the Old Boys of Aquinas who teamed together and have made the opening of this Chapel possible to-day and so my congratulations to every Old Boy who has helped in any way and contributed in any way towards the building of the new Chapel.

Already Brother Woodruff has spoken of the Architects and the builder. With regard to the Chapel itself, I don't have to delay to say anything because it speaks for itself and it stands as a monument, or I should say rather, as another monument to the architectural genius of Messrs. Hend-erson and Thompson, whom we congratulate to-day. The builder - Mr. Cyril Wildy to whom I must say congratulationsand speaking to Brother Woodruff about the actual building, he said to me that the one thing that really impressed him was the actual personal devotion and care that all Mr. Wildy's men took, and Mr. Wildy of course, in the building of the Chapel.

Br. Woodruff, Father Crotty, Brothers, Teachers, and Students of Aquinas, this is your big day. This, as the psalmist says, is the day which the Lord has made, so let us be glad and rejoice in it as we are happy to be with all of you, in this your day of rejoicing, the opening of your new Chapel which is indeed for you - the hcuse of God and the gate of heaven.

"DETAIL OF MADONNA"

The Crucifix and Madonna, the work of Vaitre Marek, of Adelaide, are in beaten capper. Taken together the twa works give expression to the Death - Resurrection theme of "Salvation History." Christ reigns triumphant from the crass, but His mother has experienced deep human anguish at the foot of the suffering Christ, and her outstretched hands invite the trust of a suffering humanity.

The Stations of the Crass were designed and executed by Mr. Dan Mazatti, of Perth. The rugged, dramatic sculptures harmonize with the stone wall an which they are featured.

TRIUMPHANT"

You will notice the massive stones In the building reminding us of the strength that binds you as students and as teachers, as a community of believers - you are the Church in Aquinas. It is interesting to note also that the entrance to the Chapel is very narrow, reminding us of the words of our Divine Lord, the advice to enter by the narrow gate - and when we enter by the narrow gate and walk along the narrow path, we might stumble, we might fall along the narrow way, but as we go through life, keeping our eyes fixed on God then it will be like our entry into this your Chapel when you go in the narrow doorway you enter into the presence of God, just as at the end of your life, if you have entered the narrow gateway and walked along the narrow path, you are sure of entering into again the presence of God in heaven.

To a group there at the back, the students and to the students on my left, I would address a special word to-day because it is a big day for you - the Chapel, standing in a prominent position in your campus, is a reminder to you of the place which Almighty God should always have in your lives. It is a reminder to you of what the Church in whatever parish in which you live, should have in your lives.

During your course of studies you are being prepared to go out into the world, prepared to advance to higher studies to become doctors, teachers, chemists, or dentists, or whatever you might be. You are getting solid preparation for that day, but if Aquinas College gave you nothing more than just a secular preparation to walk out into the world to become doctors or teachers, or something else, then I say, if Aquinas only gave you that it should close its doors, it has no right to have them open and there would be no point in opening this Church here to-day.

Thank God, Aquinas, your college, gives you more. Here your teachers lead you to know God better, they lead you to love God more, so that knowing God better and loving him more and more each day you will serve him better now while you are at college and later in whatever walk of life or vocation of life you might find yourselves. That is your preparation for the world and when you go out from Aquinas you will go out prepared to take your place in the Catholic community. You are all called to holiness and it should be a reminder to you to-day to find that we have a celetrant of the Mass, the first Mass, a past student, Bishop Goody, and assist;ng him will be Father McNamara, Father Cunningham, and Father Keating, three past students of Aquinas. If God calls you to be as I say priests or brothers, thank God for that highest calling of all. But there is one thing you must remember, God calls each and everyone of you to be men of God in the community. The community and the parish have the right to expect that of you. They have tce right to expect that after your training here you will come out and you will be stong, loyal and faithful Catholic gentlemen in your parishes.

If you go out and become Godless, become part of the Godlessness of your environment, then my dear boys you wi II have betrayed the name of Aquinas College, you will have betrayed your teachers, you will have betrayed your companions and why? - because you will have betrayed your God by becoming one of the Godless, the decent godless people of whom T. S. Eliot wrote, when he referred to them as the "decent gcdless people whose only monument is the asphalt road and a 1,000 lost golf balls." And so my dear boys you know what we expect of you. We pray that we may not be disappointed, we pray that you will not become part of the godlessness that is so rife in the world.

An Awe - indpirinl} place

"I) / ')

Verda:!

"How awe-inspiring is this place: this can be nothing other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven" (G'nesis ch. 28). If the Impact Wall is allowed to make its impact, and if you go into the Aquinas Chapel in that receptive frame of mind, the beauty of it will inspire in you that "awe and reverence for God" of which the new catechism speaks, and without religion doesn't exist.

Go in, one by one (talking is hard to avoid in groups) and try it: if you don't finish up on your knees even before you notice the Sanctuary Lamp you're not a normal Catholic boy.

Yes, as Jacob said, this is obviously the house of God on earth. Such a place gives us earth - bound creatures SO ME sense of who God is (neither the beauty you see in the Chapel nor the truth you hear in the class-room will enable you to 'comprehend' him: as one of the Fathers writes, "If you fully understand what you are talking about, what you are talking about is not God.") But God is not only truth and beauty: He is love, as St. John tells us; and he came into the world to prove it and enable us to APPREH END him as love by a new kind of love, and hope and faith. And that trings us to the chief function of the Chapel: celebration of the liturgy, chiefly (in your case) Mass and four of the Sacraments - Holy Communion, Penance, Confirmation and (for some of you) Marriage.

Grace is everywhere, if one is spiritually enough inclined to find it, but Catholics are fortunate enough to be SURE of finding it, in the Sacraments even when NOT at their best spirituaJ:y.

Make the most of your wonderful opportunity to ferm good HABITS in this matter at school, and then; when you receive your last Sacrament, you will be able to say with Jacob: "This is the gate of heaven."

There are days in the schaol calendar that stand preeminent: July 19th was ane of these days, for it marked the return af anather Old Aquinian who had returned to the College ta give his priestly blessing to the students, and to celebrate with them the Haly Sacrifice of the Mms. After Mass the Senior School formally welcomed Fr. Flynn in the Callege Hall, and the Head Prefect, Michael O'Meara, made him a presentation af books on behalf of the College.

Old Aquinians of the late 40's might remember Fr. John (L.c., 1949) as captain of the Seccnd Cricket XI (he won his way into the First Xl for a few matches>' Otherwise, as Father claimed in his address, his years at Aquinas (1945-49) were ordinary years, with very little indication that he was to be called to God's service. After gaining his Leaving Certificate, john Flynn worked at first with the Customs and then transferred to the Taxation Department, until some ten years after leaving schoal he join:d the Society of Catholic Apostolate, and dedicated himself to the service of others. This Congregation of Prieststhe Pallottines as they are commonly called - are n:ted in W.A. for their apostolate to the aborigines, in the Kimberley district.

On his return visit to Aquinas Fr. Flynn was accompanied by his parents and his sister, Sister M. Ephrem, of the Convent of Mercy.

HEAD PREFECT AND CAPTAIN OF SCHOOL, 1966.

Michael is the youngest son of Mr. & Mrs. Jim O'Meara, of Santo Lucio, formerly of Trayning and GUildfard, and the lost of the five boys - Vince, Lourie, Derek and Terry were the others - whose unbroken enrolment at Aquinas spans the years from 1948 - 1966. Enrolled at Aquinas in 1959 Michael has achieved over the years on outstandng record of excellence that includes a Commonwealth Secondary Scholarship, 1964, the Maurice Cullity Award for AIIRound Excellence, 1965, Secretory of Y.C.S., and editor of "Veritas," Senior Cadet Under Officer, 1966, on unbeoten record at the·" Inters" and State Ath letic Championships, 1964- 1966, Captain of the Hockey XI, 1966, Cross Country Championships, and membership in the Inters Swimming Team, 1963-1966, with three successive victories in the Breast-stroke event.

The Glosson Trophy (1966) for "Best All Round Sportsman," awarded on Speech Night, was a fitting climax to on outstanding record of ochievement.

As Head Prefect and Captain of the School Michael's achievement has been equally outstanding, and when he soils for England and America in early January on a Rotary Exchange Scholarship he can look bock upon a year signalized by achievement and leadership.

Speech

"Guest of Honour" for 1966 was Old Aquinian, Sir Frederick Samson, Mayor of Fremantle, who was at the Old Ca[lege,1 910-1912. Christopher Back, who delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the Ca[[ege, reca[led that Sir Frederick had represented Aquinas in Football, Cricket, Rawin'g and Athletics, and that his name was engraved an the College Honour Boards, for Inter-co[legi:Jte Shooting, 1911-12. Surely Sir Frederick, who claims the great Pinda Boar and J.J. Savage, Rhodes Scholars bath, as contemporaries, must be yet another. of those great men who [aid such 'enduring foundations for this great co:lege.

While presenting the prizes, and later in his address which sparkled with witty reminiscence, Sir Frederick delighted the students and the large audience of parents and friends. Listening to Sir Frederick it was nat at al[ difficult to understand why so mony feel that these years, punctuated by the Great War, were the great golden years of the Cal[ege that still challenge the present generation to perform great deeds in the classroomJ and an the playing field.

The President of the Old Aquinians, Mr. Ken Kelsa[l, thanked Sir Frederick for his attendance as guest of honour, and specially thanked Br. Woodruff for inviting an Old Aquinian for the second successive year to present the prizes and deliver the occasional address.

The Head Prefect, Michael O'Meara, concluded the formal part of the programme by making the traditional "valete" on behalf of the Leaving Class for 1966.

Firstly I would like to thank the Hecdmaster for the references he made to the Old Aquinians' Association in his report and to assure him that anything achieved thi5 year has been made possible by the numerous courtesies and whole-hearted co-operation we have received from all the staff at Aquinas.

Some years are more memorable than others, but each one adds something significant to the history and tradition of the College. 1966 has been most successful and both the staff and students are to be congratulated on their achievements in the many aspects of college life which the Headmaster has been able to report on this evening w:th such justifiable pride.

We are all very conscious of the way the college has developed, particularly since it became established at Mt. Henry in 1938. However, no building development has been more significant than the completion last August of the magnificent new Chapel.

Another event of great importance to 0[1 Old Boys was the celebrations in honour of Bro. Redm::nd's Diamond Jubilee and the award to him of the M.B.E. Bro. Redmond is held in great affection by all Old Boys, not because he has spent so much time at Aquinas, but bee use he typifies all that is fine in the Order of Christian Brothers. It was my pleasure to accompany Bra. Redmond when he received the Insignia of the M.B.E. from His Excellency the Governor on the 27th October.

As the Headmaster has already pointed out, this year's successes have not been restricted to the field of sport, although it is possibly these activities that have attracted the greatest public interest and ·press coverage. The academic record has been excellent and in particular I feel that inadequate recognition has been given to the manner in which the staff at Aquinas is assisting ather Catholic schools to organise their science teaching and thereby qualify for the special Commonwealth Grants for the building of laboratory facilities.

The Association was naturally delighted when the Hecdmaster signified that for the second year in succession he had invited a distinguished Old Boy to distribute the prizes.

Sir Frederick Samson has given many years to d:stinguished service to Fremant[e - the second City in the State, and perhaps I should hasten to add, the first port in the Commonwealth.

He has served continuously as a member of the Fremantle Council since first elected in 1936, and for the past fifteen years he has been the Mayor.

Sir Frederick is one of the best known and mast respected personalities in Local Government in this State. He is a very busy man and although it has undoubtedly given him great pleasure to be here this evening, he is deserving of our special thanks and I ask you to show your appreciation by ace [amotion.

J./ead prefect: J-arewell

Reverend Brother Woodruff, Sir Frederick Samson, Distinguished Guests, Rev. Fathers and Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen:

To··day, we as leaving students, sat in class fer the last time. Now, all that r.emains is to report to the College Hall an the occasion of our examinations and, all being wel[, our life at Aquinas will have come to an end.

Then we will face the task of taking our place in the community, and it is with some hesitancy that we do so. However, within us lies the confidence that we have been prepared for this venture. The curriculum at Aquinas has developed in us the maturity required for this step. With an emphasis on 0[1 round development, Aquinas makes avai[able a complete education so that I urge you, who continue on at the College, to partake to your fullest of this balanced diet of maturity.

Throughout our stay at Aquinas we have noticed a growing co-operation between students and teachers. This is beneficial, and has produced corresponding successes both in studies and sport. We have had a talented cnd enthusiastic staff to g'uide us thraugh the years of our maturing, but I feel sure that few of us here to-night realize the extent of their participation. This participation results in each member of the staff serving many purposes, in fact being engaged in several full time spheres of work. True, we do have a variety of extra curricular activities and it is the Brothers and lay staff who go out of their way to make this possible. The generosity of the staff is extensive, and so I encourage you, the students of Aquinas of the coming era to utilize this blessing.

Accept their discipline ungrudgingly and share the'r friendship gratefully; they have your best interests at heart.

At the head of this group we have Brother Woodruff, a Headmaster who has left his mark on Aquinas, not only in the form of outstanding works such as the Chapel, but also by sma[ler enterprises which are nearly as important to the students of the College. Since his arrival we have seen him reva[utianize boarding conditions, provide extensive improvements to sporting facilities and give the grounds around the College a look of splendour. By surveying the record of the College in both academic and sporting achi€vement over the past four years we appreciate the results of his leadership. So, on behalf of the students of Aquinas, and I feel sure, all here present, I DOSS on sincere thanks to Brother Woodruff for his contribution to the growth of the College.

Before I close I should like to add a personal note of thonks to Aquinas - to the Brothers and staff for their guidance over the years and for the trust they have placed in me in 1966 - to the Prefect body for its support during the hectic months of this year, and to you, the students and friends of Aquinas for sharing with me and the College the joys which have come our way over the years.

While thanking the College I am conscious of my privilege in representing the 1966 Leaving Certificate class. As we say farewell we thank Aquinas and wish her continuing success in the years that are to come.

"OKLAHOMA FINALE"

Otlahoma

A lew more worJ:J f,.om the p'oJucer:J.

A boisterous and exhilarating performance of Rogers' and Hammerstein's famous musical provided the entertainment for our two thousand guests at Speech Night. The large cost, and especially the chorus of formers and cowboys were so relaxed and so obviously enjoying it all that refreshing spontaneity rather than disciplined rehearsal seemed res;:Jonsible for the outstanding success of "Oklahoma."

There were so many exciting and eye-catching features in the show, that it is not surprising that there are several to whom we owe a deep debt of gratitude. Firstly to Mr. Sam Gilkison who arranged and rehearsed the choreography: Sam, whose work on Television is widely known and appreciated, achieved wonders with a relatively unskilled cost. The "Box Social" and the "Kansas City" routine will long be remembered for their sheer brilliance, gaiety and exuberant vitality. To the members of the orchestra we are especially grateful - for the hours that you gave for rehearsal, for the wonderful influence you exerted over our cost, and for the enthusiastic rendering of the score. To Henry Noglazas, who designed and executed the sets, to Mrs. Schwann and Mrs. Gill who attended to the details of the costuming, to Mr. Dove O'Brien, who controlled the sound equi;:Jment, to Miss Colette Wiltshire and the Therry Society for make-up, and to Mrs. Kerr who trained our singers, we extend our warmest apprecia.tion.

Finally, thanks to the people who responded so well to direction, the members of the cost - the First Year and Sub-Leaving Choruses, Sue Murray and Lorraine Leahy from Our Lady's College, and the other principals. The thunderous applause· and the enthusiastic delight of our large audience on Speech Night were a fitting tribute to your successful achievements.

On August 15th, 1906, a dynamic, red-heeded young man, who boosted Irish parentage and. answered to the nome of Mick ("Bluey") Redmond, presented himself at the old Christian Brothers' Training College, Lewisham, on inner Sydney suburb. "Renouncing the world and its pomps," and for Michael Redmond this meant surrendering the chance to ploy with the N.S.W. Rugby Colts against Queensland, in Brisbane, he was clothed with the habit of the Christian Brothers, and received the nome Brother Francis. After eighteen months of training Br. Redmono received his first appointment to Dunedin in New Zealand. Six years in "God's own country" was followed by a brief stay in Adelaide until, in 1916, Br. Redmond was transferred to the Old College. This transfer was providential and momentous; Br. Redmond was to spend no less than forty-one years of the holf century (1916-1966) dedicat:ng his talents and energy to the service of the youth of Western Australia and, in particular, of Aquinas, although the "Old Boys" of C.B.C., Fremantle, might challenge the Aquinas prerogative for they cherish the memcry of his years at the "Gateway to the West" and Br. Redmond still maintoins a keen interest in "Freo."

As sportsmaster both at the Old College and at Mt. Henry. as on impelling teacher, but foremcst os a man of God, Br. Redmond hos earned the respect, friendship and grotitude of generations of Aquinians and of all who come within his orbit of influence. The shower of conqrotulatorv letters and telegrams that greeted his M.B.E. and Diamond Jubilee are 0 literal reminder of this esteem.

Br. Redmond's Jubilee was celebrated with the dignity and joy that the occasion itself demanded. On August 15th the Aquinas boorders formed a guard of honnur outside the Chapel. As Br. Redmond appeared, still dynamic but no longer red-headed, the boys greeted him with boisterous acclamation, the first of many that tc' applaud him. Later in the morning leaders frem many walks of life - religious, education, politicnl, civic and commercial - honoured him at a special "At Home" in the College Reception Hall.

The remainder of the day, and much of the evening,

was spent with his Brothers in Religion, about one hundred all told, from all parts of W.A. A Smorgasbord lunch at C.B.C., Fremantle, a river cruise to the Aquinas jetty, a reception committee with a "21 gun" solute, Solemn High Moss in the College Chapel, and a Jubilee Banquet were memorable components to a day of celebration.

Later in the month the Old Aquinians arranged a Jubilee Moss of Thanksgiving followed by a buffet in the C-Ilege Hall. More than 500 Old Collegians of Aquinas and Fremantle and friends crowded together to offer Br. Redmond their own special congratulations, and to present him with on Airways ticket and wallet for a Jubilee holiday in New Zealand.

Finally, at Br. Redmond's request and with the ready assent of the Headmaster, the students celebrated with a picnic that gave the eight hundred students of Aquinas the choice of Serpentine Dam, Conning Dam ond Araluen, Bindoon, or a river cruise to Fremantle. "Operation Picnic" was a triumph of organization and onunforgettable climax to the Jubilee season.

Every good life is a life of labour. Every happy life is a life of labour.

A life of labour is better than a life of inactivity. Our very nature craves for a life of activity and reason demands thot our activity be worthwhile.

Effort costs something and we are not satisfied that it be wasted.

Work like life requires a purpose to give it meaning and moke it 0 source of satisfaction.

A Religious must "earn the two great rlJlos and ob'igaticns of 011 Christians - that of service to the community and witness to Christ.

(Extracts from Mgr. Cunningham's Jubilee sermcn at the Old Boys' Moss).

[What on eulogy of Br. Redmond's sixty vears of service! Aquinions need only remember Br. Redmond's work in the classroom, or the hours spent with horse and dray in the old days, carving ovals out of a wilderness - or in 1966, swinging around behin.-1 the "Atco" motor mower, or hocking at "his" hedge.-Ed.]

THE CATHOLIC DOCTRINE ABOUT OTHER CHRISTIANS.

The recent Ecumenical or General Council was the first to depart from the custom of putting Council pronouncemsnts in the technical language of theologians. Its language, when properly translated, is that of ordinary people of secondary education, and the teaching is usually Biblical in tcne. The reception given to last year's Marian digest prompts me to offer our Catholic and other readers a similar treatment of the decree on Ecumenism.

The first thing to notice is that the Pope and Bishops call other Christians NOT "Non-Catholics" (Latin: ACatholici), but what they call THEMSELVES (the Eastern Churches, the Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, etc., Churches, the Pentecostal Community, etc.) - or, when they are treated as a group, "Our separated brethren" (Latin: Fratres nostri seiuncti) the teaching is as follows.

Promoting the restoration of unity among all Christians is one of the chief purposes of this Sacred Council. For only one Church was founded by Christ the Lord, but many Christian Communions present their claims to men as the true heirs of Jesus Christ; all indeed profess to be disciples of Our Lord, but the bodies to which they belong go different ways, as if Christ were divided {I Corinth, 1: 13J. This lack of unity both openly contradicts Christ's will and is a scanda I to the world which is to be converted.

But the Lord of the ages, who wisely and patiently pursues the purpose of His grace regarding us sinners, has recently begun to make all of us Christians more ashamed of our divisions and more desirous of unity. Hence arose the Ecumenical Movement, in which all who worship the Holy Trinity and recognize Jesus as Lord and Saviour can join. Of those who do take part; the great majority long for one visible Church of God which would be truly universal. All Catholics should respond to this divine vocation and grace.

Before he died Our Lord prayed for His followers "that they may be one in us, as Thou, Father art in Me and I in Thee; so that the world may come to believe that it is Thou who hast sent me." When He had been glorified, the Lord Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit, through whom He gathered the people of the New Covernant into a union of faith, hope and love. As St. Paul says, "All you who have been baptized in Christ's name have put on the person of Christ You are all one person in Christ Jesus." To establish this holy and world-wide Church till the end of the world; Christ entrusted to the college of the twelve Apostles the task of teaching, ruling and sanctifying. Of these he chose Peter upon whom to build His Church and to make chief of the pastors of His flock, Christ Himself reroaining the chief corner-stone, as St. Paul says: Jesus Christ's wish is for His people to increase through the faithful preaching and sacramental ministry of the Apostles and their successors in communion with the See of Peter, and under their loving, divinely-aided rule attain a perfect fellowship united in faith, worship and love.

But right from the start divisions arose in this one and only Church of God, ond were condemned in St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians; worse was to come in later centuries, when great communities of Christians were separated from full communion with the Catholic Church,

not without guilt on the part of men on both sides. Those who are nowadays born into such communities and grow up as Christians cannot be accused of a sin of separation, and the Catholic Church embraces them with brotherly reverence and love. For such as believe in Christ and have been validly baptized are thereby placed in some kind of communion with the Catholic Church, however incomplete. Of the various elements which combine to form and give life to the Church, some very valuable ones exist outside the visible boundaries of the Catholic Church: the written word of God, the life ofgrace, the virtues of faith, hope and charity, and other inward and outwc rd elements. A number of the sacred actions too, of the Christian religion are carried out among them, and these rites are capable, in varying ways according to the state of affairs in the various denominations, of really bringing about the life ofgrace, and are to be considered suitable for opening the way to the fellowship of salvation. This being true of individuals, it follows that the Churches to which they belong, although we believe they suffer certain defects, certainly have some significance and importance in the mystery of salvation. For the Holy Spirit has not refused to use them as means of salvation whose effectiveness comes from that same fulness of grace and truth which was entrusted to the Catholic Church.

However, neither the individuals nor their Churches enjoy that unity which Our Lord willed to give to His members, and which Holy Scripture and Church Trodition set forth. For it is only through the Catholic Church that the whole fulness of the aids to salvation can be attained: it is the normal means of salvation, so all should be in full union with it.

To-day the Holy Spirit is inspiring world-wide activity to bring about that full unity which Christ willed, so this Sacred Council urges all Catholics to recognize the signs of the times and co-operate in this Ecumenical Movement. A high priority is to be given to all efforts to eliminate words, judgments and behaviour with regard to other Christians which offend against fairness and truth. The resulting more friendly relations will help all Denominations to collaborate in public life to take any action that may be demanded by the Christian conscience and combined worship is sometimes allowable.

The goal to be kept in view is that all Christians should again share that unity which Christ gave His Church at the beginning, the unity which consists of there being only one Church and which we believe is still found in the Cathclic Church, a unity which cannot be lost, but must be perpetually widened. There is .no opposition between the above activities and work for the reconciliation to Rome (in Theology, "conversion" applies to the unbaptized) of individual Christians who desire full communion at once: grace works variously in various souls.

Among our Ecumenical activities should be prayer for our separated brethren and discussion with them on matters of Church interest. Above all we should sincerely consider what there is in the Catholic household that must be changed, so that its life may more faithfully attest the teaching and practices handed dawn by Christ through the Apostles. For not all Catholics are living by the Church's fulness of grace and truth: we must renew our life in Christ, so that She WI LL be "without spot or wrinkle."

Although Catholics must preserve unity in NECESSARY things, they must also safeguard the liberty to which each member has a right, e.g., variety in the forms of devoticnol life and Church discipline, liturgical rite, and even theological reasoning about the revealed Truth; finally charity in ALL things. So shall we have a catholicity worthy of the name.

We must also joyfully acknowledge and appreciate the wealth of Christian Life and virtue to be found among other Christians: by the' grace of Christ same have even shed their blood for Him (e.g., in Uganda, 'as Pope Paul VI pointed out when canonizing its Catholic martyrsl. The divisions among Christians prevent the Church from actualizing the fulness of her catholicity. in the case of Her sons and daughters who, though linked with her by Baptism, are now separated from full communion. In fact full, overall catholicity is made more difficult, in actual practice, for the Church herself. So this Sacred Council joyfully notes the growing participation of Catholics in Ecumenical activity, and asks the Bishops of all nations to promote and guide it.

"LoTd Jesus Ch1'ist, at yOUT Last SU1Jpe1' You p1'ayed to the Fathe1' that all would be one. Send YOU1' Holy SpiTit upon all who bea1' YOU1' Name and seek to se1've You.

A. C. Cleaver

There were few facets of Aquinas "life" thot were not enlivened and enriched by the influence of Br. "Jock" Cleaver. Words of eulogy too often fall into a p'attern of appreciative platitudes, but words cannot accurately assess the influence of one who essayed great things and failed in none.

Who will ever forget "operation Revaelc?" This was not merely a Cadet Passing-Out Parade; it was billed as the greatest amphibious exploit since "0" day. In fact on that occasion it was remarked that the mossed power presented a threat to de Gaulle's dream of the "Third Force" in warld power politics! Certainly the water skiers who hurriedly sought the friendly coasts by Mt. Pleas:nt will not easily forget "Revaelc" - the fino I "c" is siknt, by the way, as befits this "French" atoll.

And what about the great night in Beotty Park in 1964 when those jaunty red caps brought the first swimming victory for seventeen years. Once agoin the "Clea er" magic of organization and inspiration hcd achieved the apparently impossible. "Revaelc" and Beatty Park showed the general what Aquinas students and parents had known for so long - that Br. Cleaver's talents were inexhaustible. Look at the successive Speech Night triumphs that started with "H.M.S. Pinafore" in 1957, establishing the "G. and S." tradition, then erupted in the splendoC'r of "Oliver" and "My Fair Lady." And then, with n::stalgia, Br. Cleaver returned to a more moture revival of "Pinafore" as a final offering to the cultural development of Aquinas.

An almost real "Walter Mitty" indentity, but never merely a "Jack of all trades," Br. Cleover had a flair for excellence' not merely did he perform a task, literally he lived every moment until completion became equated with excellence.

Of course every triumphant road has its moment of truth and such moments existed for Br. Cleaver. But such' blemishes - the free entry hatchway into the tuck shop was one - served more to highlight the triumphs.

What was the secret of this success that ranged through so many and varied activities? - Organization, inspiration, and a downright quixotic chicanery that attempted to screen or rather gilt-edge the' difficulties, until all forces became streamlined for his purposes.

Vale Br. Cleaver. We wish you well in your new post as Deputy Headmaster at C.B.e., Fremantle. We know that you will take to this new post all the energy and enthusiasm that signalized your ten years of service and achievement at Aquinas.

mr. :J. ..JJ. B. Sea,.!e, m..A.' (Oxon)

In early March, 1962, Mr. Scarfe and his family arrived in Perth to take up his post as Senior Language and English Master at Aquinas.

Although the classroom routine of an Australian sehool must have been a change, not traumatic, one hopes - from the academic halls of Oxford and Salamonca, Mr. Scarfe seemed not to notice, and proceeded irresistably and methadically to instil a precise knawledge of French grammar, verse structure, and the principles of literary criticism into his students. And y=t, in so many ways, Mr. Scarfe was the antithesis of the pragmatic, the dry, the academic. Ever an enthusiast, at any time there would be an outflaw of interest in music, crt, architecture - and .his classes would benefit from these ebullient excursions' inta the fine arts.

Mr. Scarfe, we have already missed your enthusiasms that ranged from the Classic Spanish Guitar to Rugby! We wish you well in your new post as Lecturer in Spanish at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Back in 1945 a tall, athletic young man in the prime of life transferred from "The Terrace" to Aquinas. Now

in his vigorous autumn years Br. Egan has been appointed Superior and Head Master of St. Kevin's Preparatory College in Toarak, Victoria.

Br. Egan's twenty-two years at Aquinas have spanned the Head-masterships of Br. Garvey (1945-50), Br. Murphy (1951-56), and Br. Hall (1957-62), and when he looks back over these years he can recall with satisfaction that he has played no small part in contributing to the sucesses and achievements of these years. Br. Egan's most obvious contributions have been as O.e. Aquinas Cadet Unit (1948- 1966) and, more recently, as Headmaster of the Junior School. Under Major B. E. Egan, e.F.M., the Aquinas Cadet Unit has won the respect and admirati n of Western Command and functianed so efficiently that many units have adopted many of its activities and administrative details. As Headmaster of the Junior School Br. Egan allowed a talented staff initictive' and free'::am and gave the lead by introducing newsyllabi thet have given the Primary classes a comprehensive and stimulating curriculum. The inaugural Junior Schocl "Presentation of Prizes and Display of Activities" was not only a fitting climax ta Br. Egan's twenty-two years af service to Aquinas, but a glowing eulogy to the quality of that service.

Vale, Br. Egon, a new generation of Aquinians will miss your guidonce and spontaneous friendship, but be assured that your memory lies in the realms of Olympus, and there will be few indeed who will rise to the same snowy peaks of achievement.

A tall figure strode briskly acrass the Redmond Oval, paused briefly to give a few directions to the groundsman -there was a wicket to prepare or a new pipe line required for the reticulation system - and then continued on 'his way to meet visiting teams and coaches. This would be a familiar sight, and a familiar figure on any day in a given week for any of the eight years that Br. Morphett, as s!,ortsmaster, devoted to the needs of Aquinas. The mere record of achievement is stunning: not so much the spectacular victories of the past eight years - these could easily be attributed to individual coaches only - but rather the genius for organization that laid the foundaticns for these victories. In the summer months fourteen representative cricket and tennis teams, and in the winter months a grand total of thirty teams - Football, Hockey and Rugby - found equipment ready and ovals or practice areas available for training sessions twice a week.

The smooth functioning of every detail of the Aql:inas sports calendar demanded much from Br. Morphett, and he gave unstintingly. And yet there was never any flurry, and always, somehow, time left for the needs of others. And these "others" were not only the Juniar Certificate classes who benefited so much from Br. Morphett's patient and paternal guidance, but all who needed assistance.

e.B.e., Highgate, are indeed fortunate t? Morphett as their new Head Master, and while Aquonas congratulates Br. Morphett on this appointment, there 'is more than a tinge of regret farewelling one wha has given so much of himself to Aquinas.

Mrs. E. Aikenhead joined the staff of the Junior School at the beginning of 1964. Her bright, cheerful, and enthusiastic approach to her task in the c1assrcom immediately gained her the esteem of her class. The stL'dents responded to the high standards expecte? of them, c:nd any visitor to her class was assured of a lively explcnatlon by some class member of the latest project that so artistically brightened the c1a.ssroom, and made the process of learning so pleasant!

For two-and-a-half years Mrs. Aikenhead exerted her guiding influence on our Grade Six. Classes, influence that was not limited to only Grade SIX, but which has gone with the bays into their later classes.

Aquinas is grateful for these years of devoted seN ice. May God bless you and your family.

During 1966, Aquinas was represented in Perth Juniar Curia of the Legion of Mary" by two Praesidia. Membership in the Legion afforded students the opportunity of honouring the Mother of God, and of working in the Apostolate of Christ's Mystical Body.

Boarders met on Tuesday evening, from 7.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m., as the "Queen of Apostles" Praesidium. Frank Mahoney, himself a member of the Legion when at Aquinas and the Head Prefect in his final year (1964), replaced Kevin Carton who was our President during 1965. Ross Bryant was Vice-President of the Praesidium, Michael Norrish was Secretary, and John Lysaght began the year as Treasurer, and WaS relieved in last term by Dennis Martin. Other Leaving Certificate members of "Queen of the Apostles" were Peter Ward, John Kelly, Robert B"ttini and Robert Huxley. At the last meeting of the year, 30 members were present. Br. O'Loughlin acted as Spiritual Director of both praesidia during the year.

Day students met on Friday afternoons, at 3.30 p.m. A president could not be found so that the Vice·Presicent, John O'Brien, cond'JCted the meetings of "Mother of Helpers" Praesidium. Martin McDonnell was Secretary, and Joseph Williamson was Treasurer. The Praesidi"m consisted of ten members from the Sub-Leaving C1""sses. "Mother of Helpers" was honoured by a visit of the P·esident of the "Queen of the Missions" Junior Curia, Mrs. V. A. Haire. d'Jring the last term.

A difficulty for the Junior Legion in Aquinas is that of providing organized apostolic work on a weekly b:Jsis for every member. HQwever, while more can be hoped for, much of a satisfying nature has been accomplished. The Legion spirit of enthusiasm, self-sacrifice, regularity of observance, and love for the Mather of God is in evidence. Some of the major activities undertaken by members were the clearing of the grounds and establishment of a lawn for the new Retreat House of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters in Victoria Park, the oraanization of some of the Participation Masses and Altar Serving within Aquinas and the presentation. of an afternoon concert for the Mt. Henry Home.

There are at present several difficulties that limit the effectiveness of this student opostolote within the School. The more obvious difficulty would seem to be that a satisfactory meeting time has yet ta be found. After school meetings clash with tightly organized extra-curricular activities, and meetings during school hours seem unsot'sfactory in an organization that stresses voluntary membership and individual ooostolic action. A less obvio' 'S, but more serious factor limiting the effectiveness of Y.C.S. is a general apathy that fails to appreciate the need for the laity to accept the adult role in the life of the Church that Vatican II prescinds. A thoroughly enerqetic and aoostolic Y.C.S. that devoted itself ta a practical study of the decrees of Vatican lion the role af the laity would helo to guarantee a healthy Catholic tone with'n the school, and within the future adult leaders in our At present this positive role of Y.C.S. is not being realiced.

The Pooes have stressed the need for ApostolicAction at an equal level of contact. As Pius XI stated in "Ouadroqesimo Anno": "The apostles of the workers must themselves be workers; the apostle of the students themselves be students."

Pius XII mode the some point in quite a different way: "I can write encyclicals; I can write about social doctrine; I can soeak on the rodio; b'lt I cannot go into the factories, into the shops. into the offices "

Finally, Archbishap O'Donnell. of Brisbane, stated at the recent national Congress of Y.C.S.: "The young Catholic Students' Movement is very important, with a mandate com-

ing from the Vatican CounciL"

The importance of Y.C.S. is thus clearly defined; Aquinas students must alert themselves against the apathy that only finds strength in numbers, against the apathy that keeps students from an out af school meeting, and worse still, against the apathy that seeks a school period meeting as a diversion and an opportunity to escape from discipline, against the apathy that pretends that Gospel discussicn is an unimportant aspect of the meeting.

It is incumbent upon all to make Y.C.S. a success. It won't just happen; it requires persevering endeavour.

point peron Stud,! Camp

(Organized by Daybays, Y.C.S'>

A week-end orientation camp was held at Point Peron in mid-July. The general theme af the camp could be expressed as "The Catholic Layman and Tertiary Education." Fr. Cunningham was chaplain for the week-end and gave a series of short instructions and a longer talk that focussed attention on community sacrifice, the individual and Christ, and the Catholic in the world of to-day.

The discussions, tabled below, covered every aspect of tertiary education, and we are particularly grateful to the Old Aquinians who so readily committed themselves to this new venture.

Discussion Topics.

On the University Campus.

Eric Heenan and Jim Ryan (L.C., 1962>' St. Thomas More College.

Michael Wood (L.C., 1961).

Teachers' College.

Bob Miller (L.c., 1962).

The SCIence Student.

Michael Quinn (L.c., 1964>'

The Technical College.

John McMullen (L.c., 1965>'

The Student and Home Life.

Michael Perrott (L.c., 1963).

A random selection of points raised d'lring these discussions included: The Social Round ... Keeping af'oat or striving for excellence Courses available The use of time or how to get rid of the gossip Religion on the Camous and so on.

The camp was an exhilarating and insoiring Thanks again Fr. Cunningham and the other Aquin;ans who heloed to make it such a memarable and helpful week-end.

Owing to the special circumstances in which board,rs are placed, it was decided this year that the whale format of the meeting be changed to suit our requirements This meant that members of the executive were obliged to crepare all the material themselves, b'lt the general imoress;on experienced was that it was worth the effort. Most discussions were lively and reasonably constructive, and since all topics considered were pertinent to the everyday lives of boarders, few found much difficulty in entering into them.

In the situation in which boarders find themsel"es, it is usually difficult to practise the external W0r!'S of the Apostolate, since there ore alreadv other Catholic Action Groups catering for these in the College. Our wo[k then is not then ostentatious, yet the very fact that the mojority of senior boarders are members of the organization means that it can be a very effective ins"liring Christian Action.

President of the Boarders' YC.S. this year was Hesford. He was ably assistpd by Vice-President, Michael O'Meara; Secretary, Peter Walton; Treasurer, Denis Hermon; 0nd Le"ders, Paul Reid, Warren Coli, Kevin Ryan, Philip Perry, Colin Lynn, Joe Saunders, Stephen Hu.

On the social side our chief activity was a most enjoyable barbecue and folk-singinq evening held early in the third term at the College. The evident enjoyment experienced by all present may well bring about similar f'Jnctions in the future. Our soecial thanks go to Peter Walton who was the driving force behind the evening.

"The sea has many vaices, Many gads and many voices."

(T. S. Eliot)

During the lost weeks of August in 1964 and 1965, Aquinas College Expeditions visited the Wallabi Islands of Houtman's Abrolhos. This year an expedition worked in the Pelsart (Sauthern) Group of the Abrolhos. A lack of formal scientific collecting and observing in this Group, and our experience gained during the two previous ventures, made this year's expedition a most rewarding one.

Thanks to the generosity of the Brothers at St. Joseph's, Clontarf, who made their holiday house available, Brs. O'Loughlin and Wilson and the students who were to be members of the August expedition spent the July I=ng weeek-end at Lancelin. Despite the winter temperatures, two very useful and pleasant days were spent training for working on marine and insect life, and handling dinghies and outboard motors. All were grateful for the contribution to the week-end of Br. A. C. Campbell, from Clontarf.

Once again, Br. A. C. Dally and his staff at St. Patrick's made our party very welcome during the over-night stays in Geraldton before and after the week at the islands. It was again the enthusiasm and generosity of Mr. Frank Bombara which made the trip to the Islands and accommodation there possible. We were delighted again this year to have with us Max and Graeme Cramer with their wealth of knowledge and experience of wrecks and the marine environment in general, and of the Abrolhos in particular. They introduced some of us to underwater exploring with "hooker apparatus," and provided many interesting facts and reflections on Zeewyk history.

Each year has seen the addition of a doctor to our group, and this year we had the pleasure and comforting assurance of the company of both Dr. John Saunders and Dr. Ted Cocks. Fr. Columba Nolan, O:5.B., of New Norcia, was again with us as Chaplain, and provided us with a daily evening Mass in the small fishermen's chapel an Basile's Island.

This year we also enjoyed the company of Mr. Sid Briggs, Mr. Joe Noonan, and Mr. Alan Clarke. - Michael .and Jamie Clarke, who attended Governor Stirling,' joined our group working on reptiles and birds.

Br O'Loughlin centred his interest in the terrestrial fauna and flora of the islands, while Br. Wilson planned ane! supervised the marine collecting, and boating. Our cooks found plenty of assistance at times but the burden of the work still fell upon the shoulders of Brs. Morphett and Egan. Compliments were ever being paid to their efforts. Br. McKenna was with us for the first time and made sure that we were never out of contact with civilization. He established radio contact as VK6AQ with Br. J. T. Morgan;

in Perth, and a number of other operators in the State. John Leahy's guitar provided the accompaniment for some pleasant evenings on Basile's Island. The "Pelsart Quartet" made its first, and regrettably last appearance.

The "Emma lou" left the fishermen's harbour in Geraldto on the Thursday morning of August 25th. Basile's Island - the Mangrove Group of the larger Pelsart Group was to be our home. These islands are about 40 miles W.s.W. from Geraldton and the trip was more pleasant than the tedious 70 mile voyage to the Wallabi Group. However, the Southern Group is more extensive than the Wallabies and more time was ultimately spent at sea moving around the different islands. We worked on about half the islands and the variety of fauna and flora was such that the remaining islands are beckoning for further investigation.

In contrast to our previous visits to the Abrolhos, the weather this year was not kind to us. On many days we experienced big seas and strong blows. However, there was· no dampening of enthusiasm and never a moment of serious concern with the small dinghies at sea. In fact, more was accomplished on the scientific side than in previous years, and the group which returned on the "Emmalou" to Geraldton was as much at home on the sea as could be wished. Our very reliable dinghy masters were Don Crawford, Craig James and John Whitehand.

After producing a detailed contour map of the Wallabi Group, Mr. O'Sullivan is now working through the Lands Department to produce the first accurate map of the Pelsart Group. He worked also on the physiography and reptile populations of the islands we visited, with Don Crawford, Craig James, John Whitehand, Frank Lister and Michael O'Driscoli.

The actual site on Gun Island where the survivors of the Zeewyk (1727) established camp had been investigated before our visit. Nothing was to be gained by further digging. Br. McAppion, Ed Speering, and John O'Brien endeavoured to relate the detailed accounts in the Zeewyk log ·to the islands as we visited them. In particular, it was interesting ta speculate as to just where the survivors built their new vessel, and how. it was put ta sea across the extensive shallow reefs around Gun Island.

Michael Archer was responsible for ·our reptile recordings and his task rapidly became a major one. Only the King Skink was previously known for the Pelsart Group. We established presence of nine additional reptile species. Dr. Storr, of the W.A. Museum, was very pleased to receive both our preserved specimens and records for the Museum. Jeff Greenwood, Paul Murphy, Michael McGrath, and Michael Stack were our ornithologists. The C.S.I.R.O. was very appreciative of their banding of Sijver Gulls since a programme· of gull banding is at present in progress. Most

interesting sights were the large flacks af the Lesser Naddy around the lakes on South Pelsart, and the fledgling of a Seo Osprey in a nest on Stick Island. On this same island we came across a family of seals -a bull, cow and two calves on the sandy beach.

Our first terrestrial arthropod collection for the Abrolhos was made by Michael Chaney, Conrad Crisafulli and Alex O'Halloran. Techniques were learned at the Museum and Lancelin, and then complete collections made for the Pelsart Group.

Miss Pope, of the National Museum, has been very high in her praise of the collecting, preserving, and recording by our marine group under Br. Wilson. Martin McDonnell concentrated on echinoderms, John Lysaght and Michael O'Driscoli on marine annelid worms, Gary Andrews on

molluscs, and Geoff Worner on barnacles. They were assisted in their collecting from the reefs by John Leahey, Tim Cocks, Paul Gould, Julian Woods, Michael Evans and Peter Walton. In addition to collecting by hand with skin-diving equipment or viewing buckets, we were fortunate to be able to work through the resu Its of some experimental trawling for scallops by Frank Bambara. Some of the echinoderms taken in the trawl may be the ones which Miss Pope believes on first to be the first of the species ever taken.

The discomforts of hours in the cold water, big seas, strong blows, hard work, and late nights are now forgotten, but the satisfaction of the rare distinction of adding to the records of our native fauna and flora, and the thri II of living and working as a group in these remote islands and meeting the challenge of the sea, will long remain.

To break our return journey to Perth from Geraldton the Bothe family at Coorow continued their hospitality of the past by inviting all to a barbecue lunch.

Science

Science :latent Search

Aquinas students met with outstanding success in this year's Science Talent Search, conducted by the Science Teachers' Association of W.A. Many fourth-year students who would normally undertake projects have been engaged in preparation for field work on the Abrolhos Islands. Unfortunately the nature of this work and time of its ccmpletion does not fit into the Talent Search schedule. However, in spite of this and the fact that some entries were not completed in time, all four projects which were finalized for the judging received prizes. Two physics projects, and twa biology projects, were completed.

Martin Barbetti and Michael Caffey spent many hc:urs of their free time at microscopes studying the biology of ferns. They won the "Chamberlain Industries Prize" of $100 fcr their project on "The' Dehiscence of Sporangia in the Filicales." Warwick Mathews and Joseph Williamson shared the "David Grey Prize" of $20 for their analysis of the distribution and identification of "The Reptiles of the Abrolhos Islands - Wallabi Group."

Colin Webster shared the "H. L. Brisbane and WunderIich Prize" of $1 00 for a project on "Sunspot Activity." Colin made use of the new 8" reflecting telescope at the College to record the presence and changes in sunspots during the year, and at the same time delved into the literature to interpret his observations.

Michael McGrath shared the "Electrolytic Zinc Prize" of "$SO for a project on "Galactic Noise." Michael received and endeavoured to interpret some original data, received on satellite-tracking equipment, for a 40 megacycle frequency.

e-' The presentation of prizes by Premier Brand took place before a capacity crowd in the Ross Lecture Theatre of the University, Six students spoke on their projects. Colin Webster, Martin Barbetti, and ,Michael Coffey contrib'lted much to the evening by enlightening and entertaining the audience with the aid of projection facilities and models.

Bioto iJ ,!

A sound programme of science education should include a biological perspective since it is only through a formal study of biology that an adequate understanding of scientific method, evolutionary thought, ecological principles, organic life, the historical conflicts between "religion" and "science," and the very nature of man himself can be attained. An ed'JCation in biology is important in itself. The biological sciences are also of growing practical importance. A course in biolcgy is the best scientific preparation for students who will return directly from College to the land. It is desirable that capable students who are interested in the applied biology professions s:.Jch as medi-

cine, dentistry, pharmacy, agricultural science, and veterinary science should include biology,. with physics and chemistry, in their matriculation courses. Two years of preparation in biology must obviate much of the frustration felt by many who in the past have been rushed confusedly through University first year biology courses.

This year, the fourth year biology classes total 46 students, in contrast with 18 in the fifth year. In the fourth year group, 19 are taking the three sciences for Matriculation. This marked growth in total numbers and the number taking three sciences has been accompanied by a similar growth in interest and standards. For the first time, this year a biology project entry from Aquinas in the Science Talent Search wan a major prize. The high standard of the field work on the Abrolhos Islands during the Aquinas Expedition reflect a background of interest and attainment in biology. Academic standards in class are likewise high, and a pleasing use is being made of biology reference reading in the College Library.

Of our fourth year students who are not taking phY3ics and chemistry with biology, a small group is taking Agricultural Science. All are boarders who hope tot go onto the land on leaving College. The purpose of the Agricultural Science. All are boarders who hope to go onto rural setting and so give a practical flavour to the biology course. A number of day excursions during the year assisted in this regard. Practical husbandry of pigs, poultry, sheep, beef and dairy animals, and some crop and pasture management, especially of lucerne, were seen during visits to Christian Brothers' Colleges at Bindoon and Clontarf, to Muresk Agricultural College, and to Mr. Lockyer's coastal lucerne-growing property.

Almost as a climax to the maturation of biolcgy in the educational scene at Aquinas, will be the building during 1967 of a new biology laboratory.

This year the club settled dawn to a formal programme of a lecture an Monday afternoons and an "on the a.r" session on Wednesday at lunch time. The Radio Club Room behind the bike shed has its occasional bursts of activity as crystal sets, power supplies, audio amplifiers and burglar alarms go through their constructional, operational and remedial stages.

It is hoped that most club members will have obtained their W. 1A. Youth Radio Scheme Elementary Certificate before the end of the year.

Radio Station VK6AQ was in constant use, and the weekly contact with C.B.C., Leederville, VK6RT, has grawn to a very pleasant QSO with about six other Amateur Stations spread through the State. The regulars are Rcss VK6DA at Mt. Hawthorn, Glad VK6FG at Doubleview, then Bernie VK6KJ 380 miles away in Albany, Herb VK6XO 180 miles away at Katanning, and Ray VK6WU, who was for most of the year 120 miles North, up at Maora. The other station was Eric, VK6MM, who work from his parked car where-ever it happened to be during 'Iunch time. We wish to thank all these gentlemen for thei'r courtesy and co-operation in providing the excellent QSO each week and we look forward to the time when the girls of St. Mary's, Leederville, and at Sacred Heart, Highgate, will have their awn transmitters and thus be able to answer our weekly radio greetings in person.

The other activity of the Radio Station was to operate Portable from the Abrolhos Islands Expedition and thus keep the bays in contact with civilization during their week's work on the coral islands 35 miles out to sea. Radio conditions were excellent and many enjoyable contacts were made.

Ph'!jicj

Recording of radio signals from the beaccn satellites was not continuous this year as more than enough data has been collected. The galactic noise recording pr' ject continues and an interesting effect was noted in recording, at slow speed, signal-strengths of broadcast radio stations located in the Eastern States. It was found that while

signals gradually increased in strength after sunset, before sunrise there is on immediate and sudden drop in strength. At present this is being analysed to identify the height of the reflecting layer situated somewhere over Central Australia.

Astronomical observations were made on severol occasions during the year, but serious work is being delayed until the 8" reflecting telescope can be mounted in a dome on the flat roof of the new biology laboratory now under construction.

The observations of sunspots, as reported elsewhere, were used to look for correlation effects between radio reception, ionospheric scintillation and solar activity. The 8" telescope afforded an excellent image of the sun for observation of activity on the surface of the sun.

117alhemalicj Sociel'J

During the latter half of the year, a Mathemctical Society was formed in the College ta stimulate interest in the subject, and to enable more gifted boys to broaden their mathematical horizons far beyond the confines of the syllabus.

An idea of the activities of the Society can be gauged from some of the topics dealt with to date: Computer Theory, Patterns in Mathematics, Pascol's contribution to Mathemotics, Complex Numbers, Mcdulo Arithmetic, etc. On the more practical side, pions ore afoct to build an electronic digital computer, and el.mentary models explaining principles have already been produced.

The Society operates at two levels. To be admitted to full membership, students must produce some Mothemotic: I research work of high quality. This restricts the number of core members to those who are really keen on Mathematics, and means that the high level of operation is maintained.

All the boys in the senior school, however, and students from other schaols are welcome at the public meetings where students deliver papers on advanced topics and visiting speakers entertain us at intervals with accounts of their specialised fields.

Members of the Executive af the Society for 1966 are:-

John Cresp President.

Donald Crawford Vice-President.

Martin McDonnell Secretary.

Michael Evans Treasurer.

It is hoped that the various student Mathematica I Societies in the State will soon became amolgamated, ard encourage the development of Mathematics among all the schools. We have no doubt that Aquinas will be well to the fore in such a movement.

Robert is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Langer, of Wembley. A member of four Darlot Cup Champion Xl's.captain in 1965' and 1966 - a member of three Alcock Cup teams and captain of -the 1966 First XVIII until injured, Rebert must surely be one of tce most dynamic and succ'ssful and leaders of recent years. Quiet and unassuming off the field, always the sportsman o,n field, Rcbert's influence at Aquinas will be missed. Next year Robert plans to commence a course in Physio- Therapy.

Trevor climaxed an outstanding career at Aquinas by winning an American Field Service Scholarship for 1966-1967. Prefect, Cadet Under Officer, President of the Y.C.$.., Commonwealth Scholarship 1965, and stroke of the Champion Head of the River Crews for 1965 and 1966, are but the more outstanding achievements in Trevor's seven years at Aquinas. Trevor will take out his scholarship at Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Richard Fax, wha was d'IX of Aquinas in 1960, has won a British Cammonwealth Scholarship, and is now studying at Wadham College, Oxford.

Richard hod an outstanding record at Aquinas and gained six distinctions in his Leaving. At the University of Western Australia he gained eight distinctions in nine units and completed his Bachelor af Science d wi h first-class honours in physics. He won both jt:nior and senior C.S.I.R.O. scholarships before winning his overseas award.

At Oxford Richard is engaged in research work on solid stote and low temperature physics for his Doctor af Philosophy degree. Richard Fox is the third Aquinicn to win a British Commonwealth Overseas Scholarship. The others were: Dr. Lawrie Davidson, B.Sc. (Hons.l, W.A.; Ph.D. (Cantab.l, who is lecturing at the University of Queensland, and Dr. Peter Dallimore, B.Sc. (Hons.), W.A., D. Phil. (Oxon), who returned to Australia this year and is doing further research at the Australian National University, Canberra.

Committee:

Michael Chaney, Conrad Crisafulli, John O'Brien.

The inaugural meeting of the Aquinas Drama Society for 1966 was a fair indication of the enthusiasm of all classes for direct participation in ploy production. Especially satisfying was the large representation from First and Second Years. Ross Bryant, as retiring President, congra.tulated the new committee members, who then invited all members to submit recommendations for the year's activities.

Catholic Drama Festival.

The Aquinas entry in the Senior section was Fry's "The Lady's Not for Burning." As the adjudicator, Notional Theatre Director, Ed.9ar Metcalf, commented, this ploy provided a challenge that was well worth accepting. Although not quite -mastering the verbal tapestry of Fry's verse, the cost certainly appreciated Fry's delicafe artistry and wit. Ross Bryant, outstanding as "Thomas Mendip," won the Best Actor Award once again while the large cost admirably supported Ross to toke the Aquinas entry into the Judge's final. Congratulations Trinity and Leederville for besting us for 1966; we thoroughly enjoyed your wonderful productions.

Our thanks especially to the Brigidine Sisters at Flareat Pork for so graciously co-operating in our production. Pauline Co fe, Jennifer Mellet and Jill Worner gave outstanding performances.

Humphrey Devize, brother of Nicholas Michael Chaney. Hebble Tyson, the Mayor - Robert Huxley. Jennet Jourdemayne, a witch - Jill Worner. The Chaplain - Conrad Crisafulli.

In the Junior Section conducted mid-second term, enthusiasm was such that Br. Wilson hod no difficulty in presenting two ploys. It was a delight to see competence, skill and enthusiasm so blended that surprisingly mature and most entertaining productions were achieved. Ross Coli won the award for best actor, but several of his closs motes - notably Michael O'Hara, Mark Wilson, Terence Hodges and Stephen Wyche - were not for behind him.

AQUINAS DRAMA FESTIVAL.

Traditionally held to honour Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers, the Aquinas Drama Festival attracted five entries this year. The two Second Year entries for the Junior Catholic Festival were repeated to a large and appreciative audience of parents and students in the College Hall. First Year, directed by Mr. Walsh, with the assistance of Mrs. Constance Ord, presented two ploys:

"Bush ranger's Christmas Eve," by Kylie Tennant, and "Rip Von Winkle," by Wolter Hockett.

The final ploy of the evening was a moving presentation of Robert Bolt's "A Man for All Seasons," Act 1, with Michael Chaney and Conrad Crisafulli as the co-producers.

Once again, aport from the mere achievement of presenting five ploys at a school Drama Festival, the most pleasing feature was the direct involment of more than seventy boys on stage, with countless others in the wings as prompts, properties, scene shifters, make-up and so on.

HENRY NOGLAZAS.

As each Aquinas production makes its impact onon audience or on adjudicator there is sure to follow on enquiry about the sets. Surely the greatest asset the Aquinas Drama Society can boost is Henry. Each year we have seen costs ·that have been rehearsing despondently suddenly revitalized, inspired even, by the magic of Henry's sets.

Although "Oklahoma" may be the present gouge of standard, audiences of the future can be assured that there are still greater delights in store - for Henry's motto is: "I t must. be- better."

The College Library continued to expand during the 1966 school year, both in number of books added, and in the number of borrowings.

Books cdded totalled 900, plus the latest editions of the Australian Encyclopedia and Chambers' Encyclopedia. tlorrawings avercged 100 per day.

At the end of second term the book stock was checked, and unfortunately a large number of books was found to have been removed from the shelves without having been "charged." Although some of these books are gradually being returned to the library, grave anxiety is felt regarding the loss of severo I very expensive books. It is a Iwoys easy for library books to be removed in an unauthorised manner because of the number of thei r own books brought in by students. Our lending policy is very liberal - there is no limit to the number of books which may be token out at any time; certainly the lending period is restricted, but may be extended when the books are not needed by other students, so there is no need for dishonesty.

The co-operation of all is sought in the return of these books - because of the expense of establishing a new library it is impossible to replace them so soon, and because others are being deprived of the help to be gained from the use of these reference books.

All First Year classes had regular weekly library 'periods during 1966, and should have gained considerably from the use of the library for completing assignments,' for the widening of their general knowledge, and for entertainment. Other classes were unable to provide regular periods, but used the library whenever possible.

It has been noticed that the classes which come regularly to the library provided the bulk of the students who also changed their books at other times. Where there was no library period students often did not use the library atoll. One very disappointing feature was the almost complete lock of interest of the Junior forms.

To offset this, the increased use of reference facilities by the Leaving classes was a source of gratification, as was the popularity of adult fiction among the senior boys.

My thanks go to the students who assisted in the library this year, and to the closs librarians who in many cases did all the charging and discharging for their classes. My especial thanks to Robert Bettini, who despite the pressures of exams., organised the librarians, and gave generously of his time and help throughout the year. Unfortunately, during third term, extra activities, including spcrt and Science Talent Quests brought on end to student assistance.

During the coming year it is hoped that student co-operation in the running of the library can be increased, together with the establishment of groups to publicise new books and to review books.

CHILDREN'S BOOKS.

It is only 200 years since authors began to write beaks specifically for children, as distinct from those classics which only accidentally come to be regarded as children's Dooks.

At first the reason for their publication were to instruct and to provide lessons in morality. Towards the end of the 19th century a little more subtlety was introouced. The story began to assume some importance; the instruction was still there, but was often introduced at mcmen.s of crisis when the reader's attention was sure to be fully engaged.

Never was it at any time questioned that the cor.tent of children's books mattered very much. But to-day any suggestion of control or direction of children's reading produces a shocked reaction.

Do we hesitate to judge children's books because we are no longer sure what is good for ourselves?

Geoffrey Trease, author of, and a noted critic of, children's books, defines a good children's book as "one which uses language skilfuily to entertain and to represent reality, to stimulate the imagination or to educate the emotions."

Undoubtedly, if a book is not entertaining, no one will read it, and who better than the reader to knew whether he has been entertained? But without guidance, how can a youth judge what is real, when the purpose of his re_ ding is to enlarge or supplement his own experience? How can he discipline his emotions when he reads so much of the glamour and rewords of immorality? The world of Ion Fleming - super spies, gorgeous blondes, ingenious devices of destruction, is perhaps little different frcm the imagined worlds of other escapist novelists.

But look at the picture presented by other writers of espionage and counter-espionage toles, John Le Carre and Len Deighton, who concentrate on the seamier side of that life. The life of a spy, shorn of its luxury and glamour is shown exactly as it is, a rather dirty and sh: bby affair.

It is by wide and varied reading that we are able to get a balanced view of what life is like, how people re-act to circumstances, how moral values are regarded in the society in which we live. And it is here, I think that parents can help their children most. Teachers and librarians suggest and pravide worth-while books. By encouraging their children to join the local public library, and by purchasing' books as presents, parents can ensure that their children have access to a wide variety of books; by showing on interest in what they read, and above all by their own example as readers they can lay the foundations of a balence outlook on life.

No longer is it enough for parents to encourage reading because "it is so goad for your English!" -Librarian.

"It seems to me, men of Athens, that you have become absolutely apathetic, woiting there dumbly for the catastrophe thot is about to fall upon you. There you sit, observing the disasters that overwhelm your neighbours and taking no measures for your own defence. Nor do you seem conscious even of the elaborate methods by which your country is slowly being undermined."

-Demosthenes.

What a tragedy it wauld be if the words of Demosthenes could be applied to Australia and the 20th Century - if the youth of Australia were to become listless and disinterested in the fate of our great country. However, the Aquinas Cadet Unit does not exist as port of an averall measure of n:Jtional defence. The Cadet Corps exists primarily as a means of character formation and training; a member of a t.:nit - as in spart the member of a team - learns to his own interests for the sake of the generol good. If this is so, then those who evade service in the Aquincs Cadet Unit ore apathetic, in the sense intended by Demosthenes, to the character training ("measures for defence," and their personality in fact "will be slowly undermined" as a result.

The principle of troining youths in the manly art of self-defence has long been an occepted one. We believe that a boy should be trained to protect himself against bullies and braggarts and later, as a man, ta protect his womenfolk, old folk and children against those who decide to use force against him in order to deprive his family of something which is rightfully theirs.

Unfortunately fewer people apply this principle to the nationa I outlook, and yet the connection is a perfectly logical and obvious one. If men are taught to resist enemies from within, then it is reasonable that they should be taught to take their places as efficient members of bodies who are organized to resist enemies from without.

Because so many boys after leaving school find their heavy personal commitments prevent them taking on active port in any of the services it is important that they should have the opportunity at school where it is possible to do so without disrupting their career planning.

Cadet service is not new. In" ancient times the youth of Sparta was organised along military lines and divided into sections which were commanded by leaders who were boys a little older then the rest. They were taught the legends of their country and were imbued with the notional characteristics of discipline, obedience and endurance.

In the Aquinas College Cadet Unit, bearing in mind what has been written above, we are endeavouring by basic military training to produce junior leaders, to develop a sense of obedience and alertness and build up a sense of confidence between the leader and those under his command.

However well trainEd a group is, their efforts are wasted unless directed by leaders who have acquirEd the necessary skills, and who have developed the attributes of cleor thinking, control, dedication and leadership.

The Junior leader has a most difficult task as he finds himself living side by side in his school life, with those whom he commands. His personal, school area and camp area cleanliness, his turnout, his .own attitude towards his superiors and his own loyalty must be beyond reproach.

We have endeavoured to give more and more responsibility to the "junior members of the Unit, and they, under the adult guidance of the Officers have responded nobly.

The weekly parades, the attention to dress, the work for Ceremonial occasions and camp period has given scope for initiative. Many on extra period in free time was given and anyone who sow the Unit on work days or show days could soy there was enthusiasm.

Leaders are in heavy demand in all fields in the community, whether military or otherwise. These who apply themselves to this exclusive art will perform a service to themselves and to the Notion, regardless of whether they enter the armed services, another profession, a trade or colling.

ANZAC PARADE;

Our Annual Anzac Parade was held on the Memorial Oval in the presence of the assembled boarders and representatives of the Old Aquinians. Our guest of hcnour was Mr. Jim Conny, on Old Boy of 1910. A Platoon of Cadets represented the College at the South Perth Ceremony.

The second term was spent mainly on indoor work due to heavy rain each training day. This left a lot to be covered in outdoor work at Camp. The fine weather in the camp period allowed plenty of outdoor activity. The twenty-four hour exercise of the Second Year Cadets was the culminQtion of their week's work.

BLESSING AND PRESENTATION OF INSIGNIA OF RANK.

The first Ceremonial Parade after the issue of clothing, was for the Blessing and Presentation of Insignia of Rank to Under Officers and Warrant Officers. Rev. Father B. Harris performed the blessing and Lt. Col. D. Cummuskey the Commanding Officer of 10th Light Horse Regimont presented the badges. The new officers were reminded of their responsibilities as leaders by the Headmaster, Rev. Br. J. C Woodruff.

PASSING OUT PARADE.

On the Parade to mark the Centenary of Cadets in Australia our Unit was chosen to be the Front Platoons and led the March-Post in the presence of His Excellency the Governor of W.A.

The final parade was held on our own Memorial Oval. Our guest of honour was His Excellency the Governor of W.A. In spite of inclement weather the Unit put on a pol ished performance.

The cold wind, and the accompanying scattered showers mode things uncomfortoble for 011, but especially the guests sitting on the review dais. However, the guestsBrigadier H. B. Norman, D.S.O., M.C, and Mrs. Norman, Lt.-Col. B. Forward and Mrs. Forward, and Mr. and Mrs. Ken Kelsall seemed undismayed. Fortunately the we: ther cleared for the arrival of His Excellency, the Governor of Western Australia, Sir Douglas Kendrew, K.CG., anet remained clear while His Excellency, escorted by the O.C, Major Egan, and the Senior Under Officer, Michael O'Meora, inspected the Unit.

In his address of welcome to His Excellency, the Headmaster, Bro. Woodruff, acknowledged that the Aquinas Cadet Unit was honoured that His Excellency was reviewing the Unit in the Centenary Year for Cadets in Australia. Br. Woodruff paid special tribute to the importance of the Cadet Unit in Aquinas activities.

The Governor in his address to the Unit complimented Aquinas on its spirit of endeavour, a spirit that he had witnessed when, earlier in the year, he hod brought his cricket team to ploy the Aquinas XI, and again 0:0 this display day in such adverse conditions. "

After the presentation of awards the Unit post in line of platoons then advanced in Review Order. The final oct was the marching off of the flogs of the Unit, escorted by the Guards Platoon, to the Chapel.

VICTORIOUS SMILES AND A FIRM GRIP OF THE CUP.

"HEAD OF THE RIVER" - 16th APRIL.

A slight easterly drift of air made the day pleasant but did not encourage fast times.

In the first event John Hall stroked his crew at a ste-dy 30. This proved so efficient that they registered a five length victory from Wesley and Hale. In so doing they clocked the fastest time of the morning for fours.

The second event found Ted Brandli's smooth stroking combination lacked in combat with the Scotch fliers. With only 200 metres to the finish Scotch shaded the Red and Blacks by a couple of feet. Three lengths back came Hale. Ted kept it cool and took a canvas. Scotch come age in but the judge said Aquinas by three feet, Hale third and Christ Church fourth.

The first four with a fine display of controlled power and polish were first home by twa lengths from Wes'ey with Christ Church a further 1-.} lengths away.

Our second VIII had recently executed same autstand:ng trials so we felt our money was safe. So it proved. The crew went aver the course like a bolting horse finishing three lengths clear of Christ Church with Hale next. That was coach, Joe Sounder's, third successive 2nd VIII victcry. Just twenty years' ago Joe stroked· the victorious Aquinas 1946 "Head of the River" crew. Now he stood up to watch his son, also Joe, row in the 1966 1st VIII.

In the main event Aquinas came out of its start at 42 as did Christ Church. Wesley and Scotch were steader. Aquinas was soon down to 36 working like 0 ruthless machine. Christ Church, trying for an early break went through the first quarter mile at 38 holding a three foot

lead. Aquinas, Wesley and Scotch were still proctically level. The boat was running so well Trevor Lamond went down to 35. After 600 metres had been covered Christ Church, still roting 38, were back on level terms with Aquinas. A quarter length behind followed Wesley and Scotch. The Red and Blacks went to 37, took a half length and put the other crews under pressure. At the -l: mark Wesley closed with Christ Church. Scotch was a quarter length behind followed by GUildford and Hale.

Packing every stroke in very hard Aquinas drew away by two lengths over the final twa hundred metres. Christ Church came home very well to take second place from the very determined Wesley crew.

Even before the crews could salute the judge a figure was seen swimming along side the Aquinas crew congratulating each member.

The Old Boys' crew had no alternative. So win thsy did, and impressively tao. Well done M. Scott, W. Whitehand, D. Gillespie, G. Mahony, M. McGarry, C. Pool?, R. Nulsen, K. McAnuff and Cox G. McDonnell.

So last year's history was continued. Excitement bubbled. Celebrations reached quite a height in the Manning Hall that evening. Thanks Joe, Don, Ken, wives and helpers for such a wonderful experience.

Once again the College must consider itself fortunate to have as coaches Mr. Don O'Brien, Joe Saunders, Ken Roberts and Br. Wilson. Gentlemen all and knowledgeab'e in the ways of boys and rowing. It was frcm them that the flames of self-sacrifice, self-discipline and dedication were enkindled. To them we soya .sincere, "Thank you."

CLUB NOTES.

Rowing commenced February 9th. Conversation-wise the 1966 "Head of the River" was poor material. Having won all events in 1965 we could anly deteriorate. No coach or oarsman wanted to be among the losers but all fully recognised the inevitability of statistics.

One could not deny that there was rowing talent on the river this year. The problem! - it was all on the stroke side. Different boys changed to the bow side, reached the stage of needing 0 psychiatrist, then changed back. It was only when Michoel McPhee returned from London some

five weeks later that a few difficulties were eliminated. Coach, Mr. Don O'Brien, tried any number af combinations in an effort to obtain cohesion. The eight lads circulating in the boat ultimately settled into the following seats: (Str.) Trevor Lamond, (7) Geoffrey Hesford, (6) Geoffrey Hawkins, (5) Michael McPhee, (4) Warren Coli, (3) Gino Menchetti, (2) Joseph Saunders, Paul Buchholz, (Cox) Brian Tonkin. With the exception of No. 5 all had rowed in winning crews in 1965.

Unity, progress and dedication developed slowly. It received a sudden impetus the day before the Wesley regatta (2nd April) when the second VIII, caached by Mr. Joe Saunders, beat them by a length in a 500 metre trial. It didn't happen again but from that day of "truth and light" aars were simply ripped thraugh the water and a soft hiss continually eminated fram boat skimming on water. Two very good crews resulted. This is not to say that on certain occasions any reasonable bid cauld not have purchased a second eight comprised af (Str.) Garry McKeown, Bob Mioroda, Brian Read, Ken Blackhurst, Peter Lillis, Peter Le May, Clive Willis, Frank Slawiak and (Cox) Stan Brice.

Meanwhile in the fours' camp Mr. Ken Roberts, having resigned himself ta M. McPhee's lass (he spent only ane doy in a four being pirated to the 2nd VIII) was giving his whole attention to obtaining consistent placings when he put his crews thraugh a trial. This required concentrating on one crew at a time, taking it apart, carrecting techniques, re-arranging positions, perhaps introducing a new member, re-assembling, then with careful grooming bringing the crew up to racing pitch hoping that another overhaul wauld not be necessary - but nat hesitating if it was.

The representative crews are phatographed app:site. Because of a mere half-length Donald Crawford (Str.), Chris Back (3), John Kelly (2), Geoff Farr (Bow), and Ross Hardwick (Cox), were the reserve crew. They were a very good combination and played a majar part in sharpening the standards af the other boats.

Three navice eights were being cantinually harried up and down the river by Br. Wilson. They performed prominently in the Perth, AN.A, and Bunbury regattas. Many af these lads will appear in the 1967-68 representative crews.

"Miss Aquinas," the coaching launch presented to the Rowing Club by the Ladies' Committee in 1965, proved to be a tremendous asset. Peter Saunder's caaching megaphones added countless decibels to each earnest coach.

Swan River Rowing Club obligingly housed our two eights from just prior to Easter till "Head of the River" day.

HALE REGATTA - 19th MARCH.

A very strong easterly wind made racing conditions impossible. It was disappointing but gloom was dispersed when it was decided to hold the proposed events at the Wesley regatta a fortnight later.

CITY OF PERTH REGATTA - 26th MARCH.

The first VIII quolified for the final af the Junior eights with a second to Christ Church. The latter did not campete in the final which Aquinas annexed by three lengths.

In the final of the Maiden Eights our second VIII had to be content with second place ta a Wesley combination.

Two of our navice eights reached the final of their event but found the Wesley second VIII and a West crew far tao talented far them.

In the meantime, the fours, racing in the maiden and novice divisions, were winning heats, semi-finals and finals in a manner calculated ta thrill a computer.

A very helpful and encauraging regatta. A number af changes follawed.

WESLEY REGATTA - 2nd APRIL.

It was in this regatta that the first and secand VIII's began to breathe fire. Their perfarmances were sound and spirited as they wan their respective events.

The first and second fours were also gold medal winners. The third faur missed the start and were never likely victors.

We now realised that with the "Head of the River" only fourteen days away we had as much claim to the title as anyone.

AQUINAS v. A.N.A. - 3rd APRIL.

This year the races were held aver the latter half of the Empire Games Caurse. With caaches listing yesterday's errors and faults by the scare aur crews went ta the starting line to compete far the "P. G. Prindiville Cup."

We retained the Cup by winning the seniar and maiden eights, the junior, maiden and novice faurs. AN A proved to have the best novice eight.

It was a delightful morning. Bath rowers and spectators appreciated the hospitality of the AN.A Club.

BUNBURY REGATTA - 9th APRIL.

Only the fours and members af the novice eights made the trip south. It was a marvellous day with heats, sem:finals and finals providing a ton of experience.

John Roger's crew led the Maiden IV final home while in the Novice IV final Ted Brandli's crew was first, John Hall's came second and Tom Sweeny's (comprising John Whitehand, Michael Lalor and Rodney Scott) fourth.

Regalla

All of the Public Schools and Applecrass High had crews participating in the Invitation events at the College regatta on November 5th. Aquinas won the VIII's and second IV races, with Hale capturing the first IV event. It was great to mix with other school rowers without that

tension a "Head of the River" event engenders. The Grand Challenge Eights was a real exhibition af rowing by all crews. The Leaving boat, stroked by G. Hawkins, won a desperote finish by a canvas from Sub-Leaving (Str. J. Saunders). A further quarter length back came the Old Bays' crew comprising: M. McGarry, W. Whitehand, N. Garrett, P. Fitzhardinge, D. Thampson, C. Poole, G. Mahony. (For other regatta results see "From the Score Sheets.")

During the regatta a new training eight, purchased from funds raised in 1965 by Old Boys, Parents and Friends, and built locally by Mr. L. Rimmer, was blessed and launched. It was named the "c. J. Wroblewski," and the ceremany was performed by his grand-daughter, Miss Julia Potter. "Wrob" coached Aquinas from 1922 ta 1944 with the exception of 1934 when he took cantrol of the King's Cup crew in Tasmania. His Callege crews wan nine "Head of the River" titles including six straight from 1926 to 1931.

Club Awards far 1966 went ta: Best Seniar Oarsman: Geof Hawkins (this was Geof's third year in the 1st VIII - two wins ond a second), Best Juniar Oarsman: Des Ryan. Best Clubman: Warren Coli. Most Improved Oarsman: Michael McPhee. In a year of plenty these were very meritorious awards.

Electians of Club affice bearers for the 1966-67 season were held in October, with the follawing results:

Captain: Joe Saunders. Vice-Captain: Michael McPhee. Secretary: Brian Tonkin. Committee Members: Donald Crawford, John Caratti, Brian Kittler.

Cangratulations to Old Bays, Michael Scott (Str.) and Stan Omedei (Bow) who have gained selection in the 1967 King's Cup crew. Congratulations to Bob Nulssn, Ian Paton and Denis Gillespie wha rowed in the W.A Intervarsity eight.

FIR ST ELEVEN CRICKET

Back Row: M. J. Ward. H. Siowiak, R. D. Huxley, P. W. Ward, P. A. Evans, R. R. Watervoort, P. A. O'Meara.

Front Row: K. J. Prindiville, R. S. Langer (Captain), Mr. S. Briggs (Coach), D. Wellington (Vice-Captain), P. A. Shea.

When net practice began, we appeared ta be lacking in a sustained attack to achieve the necessary break-throughs in a one-day game. However, Robert Langer's success, supported by Peter Evans, Peter Ward and Phil Shea, overcame this to a great extent and we were well served b@hind the wickets by Kevin Prindiville, and at first slip by Dennis Wellington. Backed up by some competent work in the field, the team was able to play sufficiently well to share the Darlot Cup with Hale School, who made a determined bid in the final, and critical, game. Congratulations to Hale on their success.

Our congratulations also to the team and Mr. Briggs for retaining the Darlot Cup.

WESLEY (at Aquinas).

We batted first on a hard, fast wicket and, with the scoreboard reading 1-0, 2-20, 3-72, did not appear to be in a good position. However, with a solid 46 from Kevin Prindiville and 22 from Robert Langer, managed to scrape together 132. However, Robert Langer's Quick 4/19 swung the scales and we dismissed Wesley for 87.

CHRIST CHURCH (at Christ Chllfchl.

Christ Church batted first and reached 103, falling tJ some good bowling by Peter Evans (3/32) and Robert Langer (6/23l. Chasing what appeared a moderate score, we batted unintelligently and crashed from 2/37 to 4/39. The stage was then set· for one of the greatest fight-backs we have seen when Phil Shea and then Phil O'Meara stay6?d with Dennis Wellington while he put together a remarkable 113, including 18 fours. While this could be called "Wellington's Match," Phil Shea must be given great credit for

staying at the wicket for over an hour without giVing himself the satisfaction of taking a single run. UndOl;btedIy one of the most meritorious "ducks" in Darlot Cup matches!

GUILDFORD (at Aquinas).

Having first use of a good wicket, we put up our only convincing batting performance of the secson with 9/216. Phil Shea top-scored with a neat 51 while Robert Langer relished his new position as opener by taking a hard-hitting 32 from the bowling. Peter Evans struck a great blow when he took three of the first four wickets, all for no score. SuoDorted by some good spin bowling from Phil Shea (3/15), we dismissed GUildford for 58.

SCOTCH (at Aquinas).

With five Scotch batsmen out of the way for 27, we seemed to have a firm grip on the game. However, we relaxed and sturdy batting by Stone, Elliott and Taylor lifted their score to 131. We got away to a gc-od start with the score at 1/81, and it seemed just a Question of time. However, splendid bowling by Campbell (7/36) and unenterprising batting on our port contributed to a magnificent win by Scotch, snatched in the last minutes.

HALE (at Hale).

Despite rain early in the week, the wicket turned out to be a perfect strip for batsmen. Despite the loss of Irvine in the first over, Hale went on to 9/207, Follick topscoring with a fine 77. Kevin Prindiville and Robert Langer got us away to a good start with 1/73 but the attock was tight and, with a shortage of time, the game subsided limply into a draw.

ROBERT LANGER: Robert captained the team again with distinction and on many occasions his experience swung the game in our favour. His bowling was frequently a telling tactor in a game and he became a most valuable opening batsman.

DENNIS WELLINGTON: Dennis made an excellent deputy and, if he had played no other innings, his century against Christ Church would rank him as a most valuable player.

KEVIN PRINDIVILLE:Kevin took the keeper's gloves with great success, taking catches and completing stumpings. Also a very reliable opening batsman.

PHIL SHEA: Improved in stature during the season as a useful all-rounder, contributing a magnificent 50 ag:inst GUildford. However, it was his patient, unselfish suppart af Dennis Wellington in the Christ Church game which earned him highest hanours. Phil remained at the wicket for over an hour without scoring, thus helping his partner amass a match-winning score.

PETER EVANS: Peter proved a useful opening bowler, particularly in the early games where he achieved quick break-throughs. Unfortunately, he had few opportunities to show his batting ability but he was an exemplary worker in the field.

HENRY SLOWIAK: With the experience from this, his first season, Henry should prove an important part of the attack in 1967. Another one to do some fine work in the field.

PETER WARD: Although not making the runs he was expected to, Peter had a successful season both as a change bowler and in the field where he was one of our safest players. ' !

PHIL O'MEARA: Made a promising debut in Cup cricket with two unbeaten innings. Should be a valuable allrounder in 1967.

MICHAEL WARD: Michael forced his way into the side later in the season and established himself with a dashing 35 not out. Will improve more with a tighter defence.

ROBERT HUXLEY: Playing in the early games without a great deal of luck with the bat, Bob was a good team-man and enthusiast in the field.

ROBERT WATERVOORT: Although not getting an innings in the 1 st XI, Bob showed great promise with the bat in the 2nd XI games and is a more than useful bowler.

Corr Cup Competition

The 1966 Aquinas team, almost the same combination that had fared so disastrously in 1965, was still a young side, still lacking experience. But strengthened by newcomer Yin McLernon, and spurred on by a keen determination to win singles and doubles births, the team gradually gained confidence and maturity. Fine victories against Wesley, Christ Church and Guildford were followed by convincing defeats by Hale and Scotch.

The 1966 team was comprised entirely of Sub-Leaving students, so the prospects for 1967 seem encouraging.

The Second Four (three victories), the Second Year team (four victories) and the First Year team (four victcries), also had a good season. In 1967 the Corr Cup team will be enlarged to a six member team. This will give m:re boys the chance to compete at all levels, and the competition for inclusion in the various grades should be keen.

Cangratulations Hale, and team captain G. Hodsdon for a thoroughly deserved victory for 1966.

Football

This year's tennis tournament produced some very goad tennis. The high-light af it was the Open Singles Final between J. de Souza and John Crespo

This ane hour forty minute marathon pravi::led the spectators with some magnificent tennis. There were great and powerful shats from both players on a fast court. J. de Souza finally ran out winner in a cut-threat m:Jtc.h, 9-7, 3-6, 6-3.

Althaugh J. de Sauza and John Cresp won the open doubles, 6-1, 6-1, there were many passages of brillicnt play. Nearly all games went to duce and the more experienced pair remained calm, when the pressure was really applied.

The Under 16 Daubles went to John Cresp and Chris Buller, the score being 6-2, 6-1. G. Hill and J. Scaffidi played well but they weren't goad enough ta beat th2 powerful combination.

Chris Buller put on a great fight in the second set af the Under 16 Singles before going down ta John Cresp, 6-1, 6-3. Chris showed a great omount of courage to try and get very powerfully hit balls back.

The Under 15 Singles was wen by David Garrick. In this oge group a cricketer got into the semi-final which was a good effort.

The Under 14 Daubles were won by Tony Grinceri and Paul Chamberlain. They combined well and played g:od tennis.

The Under 14 Singles was won by Tony Grinceri who played goad" tennis considering he had pains in his right arm.

Swimming-

Our immediate preparatians for the Public S:hoels' Swimming Contest at Beatty Park began with a reluct':lnt farewell to Br. Cleaver. His enthusiasm and coaching proficiency brought Aquinas swimming supremacy in 1964. Br. Cleaver had begun training our 1966 representatives during the last months of 1965. The lot of coaching now fell upon Br. O'Loughlin, who found loyal helpers in recent Old Boys Kieran Woods, John Franklyn, Mark Johnst:n, Neil Clements, and Rodney Pember.

Our team of keen swimmers was fortunate to have the use this year of the new.ly constructed Somerset Pool in Victoria Park for training sessions. We used this pool also for a competitive evening's swimmingwith Br. Cleaver's team from C.B.C., Fremantle, and Br. Magee's team from C.B.C., Clontarf. A similar competitive swim was enjoyed ot the invitation of Wesley in their new pool.

The College's 73rd Annual Swimming Carnival was held on Saturday evening, 26th February, at Beotty Park Aquatic Centre. The winning House wos St. Pauls, and individual champions were John Johnston (Open), Tony McMahon (Under 16), Gary Lings (Under 15), Pat Smith (Under 14), and Peter Klinken (Under 13). But individ'Jal performer of the evening was Tony McMahon who set three new records under 16. He swam 65.6 sees. for the 110 yards freestyle, 32.7 sees. for the 55 YIJrds butterfly, and set an inaugural record of 85.0 sees. for the 110 yords breaststroke. Peter Klinken set a new under 13 brecststroke record of 45.9 sees. far 55 yards.

FIRST EIGHTEEN.

The First Eighteen hod a season which could truly be called inconsistent. Not only over the whole season but also withir the scope of a single game we revealed on ability to climb the heights only to settle later into a trough of mediocrity.

The team was drastically cut and re-shaped by a series of injuries - the captain and his two deputies did not appear together in any game - and we hod few experienced players from 1965 to tide us over the difficulties. However, the most pleasing feature of the season was the prominence of younger players and the closing of a disappointing season on a more comforting note. Facing undefeated Hole with a depleted side, the XVIII playing above itself, staged what must have been one of the greatest games seen on the Memorial Oval. Cangrat'Jlotions to Hole and Coach, Mr. McMillon, for a thoroughly deserved win.

Wesley.

The opening game was played at Aquinas and, despite a slight lead at the first change, we lost drive and foiled even to score in the lost quarter. Wesley provEd too strong in the air and our forwards were out-paced.

Scores: AC., 5- 6; W.c., 7- 9.

Christ Church.

We travelled to Christ Church and, starting badly, trailed 1-0 to 2-2 at quarter time. However, with Gino Menchetti on target (four goals) and a winning centre-line, pivoting round Garry McKeown, we looked a fair side. Tim Cocks and Trevor Allsop played their best games to bolster the forwards and we ron out easy winners.

Scores: AC., 11 - 15; c.c., 5- 3.

Guildford.

GUildford cut great swathes through our hesitant backline and led 5-4 to 1-2 at half-time to shame us into one of our worst displays. However, 19th man Henry Siowiak changed the game when he come on and we went on to win comfortably.

Scores: AC., 10- 9; C.E.G.S., 7- 5.

Scotch.

Scotch, capitalising on a spate of errors in our backline, led 4-1 to 2-0 at the first change. It was a game controlled by the bocks and a stiff, cross-field breeze. Our two point lead at half-time was small but useful and we managed to force two more goals in the lost quarter. Warren Harrison, Barney O'Shaughnessy and Brion McAuliffe were powerful springboards of attock in this second half. We were unfortunate to lose Maurie Bridgwood late in the game after he hod played outstandingly well.

Scores: A.C., 6- 8; S.c., 5- 3.

Hale.

Our bocks played very well in the first half, but foolish free kicks let Hole in for costly goals. With our forwards badly beaten we struggled to get our first goal in the third quarter. The final quarter sow us out-score Hole to ploy our only effective football for the match.

Scores: AC., 3- 6; H.S., 11 - 9.

the Second llound. Wesley.

We went into this gome without our two ruckmen Dovid Ryan and Michael McPhee, who had been winning' clearly In every game. However, we welcomed the return of Robert Langer, missing since the first game. John Caratti, too, played an inspired game and, with Kevin Ryan playing well at half-bock we appeared a good side at half-time. Our third quarter was a failure and, though we come within a few points in the lost quarter, we faded In the lost ten minutes.

Scores: AC., 10- 11; W.c., 15 - 17.

Christ Church.

We played with some confidence in the first quarter to notch 8- 9. Henry Slawiak hod a field day with four goals, and Warren Harrison (4) and John Johnston (3) scored heavily from the half-forward line. A determined counter attack by Christ Church in the lost quarter cut our bock-line to pieces but we held on to win well.

Scores: A.C., 15 - 18; c.c., 11- 4.

Guildford.

Robert Huxley and Fronk Siowiak played brilliantly in the first quarter to help hold Guildford scoreless while we scored 2- 4. With a lapse of concentration which become almost habitual during the season, GUildford turned the tables in the second quarter and evened the score. HOWever, the third quarter saw some of Our best football to dote and with Michael McPhee, Dennis Wellington and David Ryan going well, put on 4-6 to 0- 2, which proved to be the winning margin.

Scores: AC., 8- 13; C.E.G.S., 4- 8.

Scotch.

This proved to be the most disappointing game of the season. We appeared uninterested and played with little or no cohesion. Despite a rally in the lost quarter Scotch comfortably won a low-scoring game.

Scores: AC., 4- 8; S.c., 6- 4.

Hole.

We went into this game without reliable Kevin Ryan in the back-line. His place was token by Rodney Scott and he with Geoff Hawkins, John Johnston and Fronk Siowiak formed on impenetrable line which kept Hole down to six goals to three-quarter time. Consistent David Ryan in the ruck, Peter Evans and Mick Gallagher. kept us in Gttack so that we went into the lost quarter With a small lead. However, the pace took its toll cn our kicking and Hole steadied well to snatch on exciting game, one played in the very best traditions of college football with both sides giving of their best. A truly memorable contest.

Scores: AC., 9- 4; H.S., 9- 7.

Foirest and Best.

John Caratti began the season on the half-back.1 ine but took over the ruck-rover position in the second round. A great team-man, John was on example at training and never foiled to ploy himself out in a' match. Using his speed and spring he was equally at home in a position or following and gave the side great drive.

Most Improved.

Kevin Ryan was considered almost lucky to make the 1st XVIII. By dint of hard training and listening to advice he mode no mistake about staking his claim in the half-bock line. Endowed with great speed, Kevin's biggest attribute was his unfailing determination and ability to keep trying even after making on error.

Most Consistent.

David Ryan came into the 1st XVIII after a solid grounding as a ruckman in the 2nd XVIII in 1965. Using his height and spring, he was never beaten in the ruck and was a constant menace round the goals. Like a good ruckman, he was on outstanding team-man who was always looking for one of his team mates.

Best First Year Player.

Michael McPhee played with remarkable authority for a first-year player. One of our few players who could toke marks over the ground, he was invaluable in putting us into attack Michael also showed plenty of paise in the centre half-forward post, and we look forward to a good season from him next year.

MR. MAURIE BRIDGWOOD.

Maurie began coaching the Aquinas 1st XVIII in 1961 and immediately scored a success by raisir,y the side to a close second position behind Scotch. He hod his first taste of victory in 1963 when we went through the season undefeated to bring the Alcock Cup to Aquinas. Though not undefeated in the following year, we retained the Alcock Cup, thus giving Maurie the pleasure of having coached two winning sides in four seasons, on outstanding achievement.

Perhaps one of Maurie's greatest gifts as a coach was his ability, during a game, to identify a weakness instantaneously and make telling positional changes. Undoubtedly this quality was the difference between a win and a loss in many games over the six years Maurie was coach. This ability was acquired over a long period of years in intimate association with football-playing in the Aquinas 1st XVIII when only in Junior Certificate and competing in League football over a span of fourteen years. On the administrative side, Maurie has generously put something bock into the game by serving on the Committee of the Claremont Football Club, as a delEgate to the W.AN.F.L. and, more pertinently, as coach of our 1st XVIII. In this capacity it was not only his eX:Jerience and astuteness which claimed the admiration of successive teams, but also his loyalty to the College and his dedication to its interests. Our sincere thanks to Maurie from the College, and especially his football teams, 1961-66.

MR. FRANK WALKER.

During the season Mr. Fronk Walker took over the coaching of the 1st XVIII. We realised immediately that we were very fortunate since Frank was the ideal combination of the ex-Aquinian, experienced footballer end meticulous student of the game.

Frank played in the 1 st XVIII 1948-49 and later had on illustrious career with the Perth Football Club as player (205 games) and coach. The XVIII was indeed privileged to have his expert and enthusiastic' direction this year and we hope he will continue to be able to coach in 1967.

FIRST ELEVEN GAMES IN RETROSPECT.

Wesley: An early Aquinas breakaway, a Wesley revival, an Aquinas missed penalty fli.ck and, in the closing minutes 0 Wesiey converted penolty flick, provided an exciting and promising start to the season.. Drawn match, 3 - 3.

Christ Church: "Goalie" Betteni the hero of an exciting match. Aquinas kept the edge in a close contest. Aquinas won 2 - 1.

Guildford: After an outstanding first half <Murray Patterson three goals) concentration lapsed and GUildford were let in for the equalizing goals. In retrospect this was a costly drawn match. Scores: 4 - 4.

Scotch: Murray's two goals proved enough to win the match; aga in there was a. lapse of concentration in the second half. Aquinas won 2 - 1.

Hale: A closely fought scoreless first half sow two well matched teams locked in a struggle for a 'vital breakthrough. When Aquinos scored twenty minutes into the second half the game seemed safe, but the lost fifteen minutes sow two Hole goals, and on Aquinas goal disallowed from a penalty corner. Hole won 2 - 1.

Wesley: In the first round the Aquinas XI often relaxed after on early advantage. This first match of the second round showed a different outlook in a team capable of greatness. With one goal down and minutes only to go, Aquinas come bock fram the frustration of two disallowed goals to bong the equalizer into the net. Drawn match, 2 - 2.

Christ Church: A great team game! Overcoming the disadvantages of a one goal deficit after a minute of ploy, 0 torrid series of short corners while Christ Church peppered the goals, and finally a penalty flick the Aquinas bocks gradually contained the talented Christ Church forwards. Kevin Prindiville's pena:ty corner and Murray Patterson's great solo dash to goal gave Aquinas the match. Aquinas won 2- 1.

Guildford: A bustling Guildford almost stole the game. Down 1-0 ,at the interval, Aquinas dominated the second half to win well in a torrid match. The captain's contribution to this game was outstanding. Aquinas won 3- 2.

Scotch: Easily our best effort. Murray Patterson (three goals) moster-minded the forward line and Scotch hod no chance to penetrate deep into defence while Kevin Prindiville and Alan Lopez patrolled the appraaches. Aquinas won 4- O.

Hale: There were few chances to score in a gema that Hole was determined not to lose. Three matchwinning saves by the Hole .goalie and 7-3 defensive ploy by Hole produced a scoreless draw. Match drown 0- O.

THE PLAYERS.

MURRAY PATTERSON (Vice-Captain). State Schoolboys, 1965. Centre forward. Murray is the complete sportsman; his quiet determination and skill were on inspiration to the team. His unselfish ploy kept the forward line open and on the move, while his 14 goals clinched many a victory. One of the best in the P.S.A. for 1966, and one of the most outstanding players to don the Red and Black.

PRINDIVILLE (Vice-Captain). Full back. With only one other regular from last year's backline Kevin's skill and experience were invaluable. In addition to many last-line-of-defence saves Kevin was responsible for the cohesion achieved in our very strong back line. Five penalty-corner goals and capable deputy-leadership add up to a wonderfully successful seoson.

r.OBERT BETTINI. Goalie. The most amazing member of our team. Bob put on pads for the first time this year - after playing at centre forward for the third eleven in 1965. His first game as goalie was in the net for the First XI against Trinity, and from this stage he never ceased to baffle our talented opponents. Bob

im;)(oved with eoch game and with his new found ccnfidence led St. Peter's to House Hockey victory, Determination and skill have opened a great future for our goalie - full points to Robert Bettini.

ALAN LOPEZ. Full back. Fresh out of Second year and only fourteen years of age Alan teamed with Kevin to begin what promised to be an amazing career in our. Fi rst Eleven. He has the ski II as was seen when he norrowly missed selection in the State Schoolboys' sidE - and he has a lot of heart as we saw at Perry Lakes in October.

STEVEN McDONNELL. Left half back. Steve was one of the factors that made our team combine; his spirit is outstanding - he belongs to Aquinas. Very few right wings in the P.S.A. will forget Steve and very few have scored while in his territory. Amazing fitness allowed him to cover his wing, act' as a spare full back in times. of need, and even on occasions get right into the attack. Thanks to Steve for a most complete contribution.

IVAN THOMPSON. Centre half. In Ivan we 'have quite a combination - spirit, skill, speed and tenacity. When most people would have given up the battle as lost Ivan was still in it and rarely did he come out seccnd best to any centre forward. His comprehensive anticipation allowed him to control centre field and the resulting passes were usually the cause of our attacking moves.

VERNON JORGE. Right half back. With a career covering many positions in many teams Vernon was a most determined player and his game and character are best summed up by taking the example of the game he played with blood running from the three most bcd:y cut fingers of his right hand, without even asking for a bondage Vernon's lopg ceaGh· and control effectively covered most opponents.

JEFF De SOUZA. Left wing. Jeff teamed well with 'our forward line and was one of the reliable members of it. He showed clever anticipation in positioning himself out wide for "that" pass and in coming in just at the right time to put the ball into the "D." With a full seoson's

experience under his belt Jeff will have a great year next year.

WORNER. Right wing. Geoff has the gift af great natural speed which was exactly what we needed on the right - next year with the better stick control which he is developing he will be an asset to our side. Geoff is a determined player who will help to make next year's team a force.

McGUIRE, MARK BROCKHURST and PAUL LOCKYER. These three players had a season of intense rivalry. In addition to their value in the games they played, they were important by keeping the rest of the First XI on their toes lest they might lose their position. All three are in Sub-Leaving and now very experienced these three will find themselves forming a great trio in next year's First XI, which we hope will keep the cup at Aquinas.

c;::APTAIN'S COMMENTS. This year's First Eleven owed its victory to an overwhelmingly strong spirit. This spirit was furthered and strengthened by every member of the team and is illustrated by a record for the season wh ich shows not one piece of destructive criticism nor one squabble amongst our players. By winning the trophy we gained a star to form the centre of a small universe of friendship, but without it we still had the forces necessary to make us a unit. Our success was in becoming a unit - the cup followed.

MICHAEL O'MEARA. Captain. Right inner. Michael took up hockey only in 1964 when a leg injury forced him out of football, and almost out of Athletics. Although lacking in stick control, Michael's speed and tenacity gained him a regular place as right wing in the 3rd and 4th Elevens during this first year, a regular place in the 2nd XI, and several games in the First XI during his second season of hockey, and finally the captaincy in the co-premier side of 1966. The fitness of the side, and its remarkable spirit were a tribute to Michael's leodership and concern for each member of the s'de, while his personal best game - the return match at Guildford and that goal - provided one of the season's highlights.-[Ed.J

At the Old Aquinians' Hockey Dinner, Club President, Peter St. J. Kennedy, remarked that 1966 was one of the best-ever years for hockey at Aquinas. The successes were firstly in achievements - the Club's senior side wan the A2 competition and qualified for re-admissian to the A1 grade, the College First XI shared the P.S.A. premiership with Christ Church, while bath the B2 and C1 grades fought aut the respective Grand Finals. Secondly the growth of hockey in the Club and in the College surely is evidence that "Hockey is the game that graws." In 1967 there will be a combined total of 16 competitive teams playing each week. Finally, the grawth of mutual interests amongst parents, students and the Old Aquinians' Club was noted an such occasions as the "annual re-apening" of the St. J. Kennedy ovals and the weekly hockey fixtures.

SECOND ELEVEN.

Probably the unluckiest team in the competition, the side was weekly jinxed with gaol mouth jitters. Tam Lareck alone would have netted "dozens" if the gremlins hadn't moved the gaols each time he swept in fram the right. A combination of bad luck, injuries, and the mare urgent needs of the First XI produced endless team changes that eroded team confidence and lessened the opportunities to develop team play. A frustrating su:cession of closely fought defeats and drawn matches were almost inevitable. That the team played out each game to the final whistle and maintained an excellent team spirit were achievements all the more noteworthy. Om id St. J. Kennedy, who captained the side won the 2nd XI trophy for 1966.

GEOFF HESFORD. Outside centre. Speed and penetration which notched up many fine points. Match-winner.

Over the past six years rugby skills at Aquinas have shown a steady development. The determination and team spirit of past years has been coupled with the cleverness and intelligent play which enabled the First XV to finish third in a very strong competition. Credit for an excellent season must go to the players themselves ond to the coaches, Mr. Peter McGuigan and Mr. Richard Davies, who contributed so much of their skill and enthusiasm to the team.

The Second XV, many of whose players were new to rugby, surprised even themselves with many fine exhibitions of the game. They were ably led by Ross Bryant, and well coached by Mr. Eugene O'Driscoll.

The First Fifteen.

PAUL REID. Captain and breakaway: Supplied the enthusiasm and drive to weld a side into a team. Inspiring directian.

BRIAN READ. Vice-captain and second row forward. Led the forwards through the toughest opposition with a strength that made him highly respected.

PETER NESOVIC. Vice-captain and wing three-quarter. Fast. Long sparkling runs down the sideline.

DUDLEY SCOTT. Wing three-quarter. A deceptive speed and elusive change af pace which fooled many apponents.

DON CRAWFORD. Inside centre. Reliable backman. Noted for many good tackles.

DAVI D BARRETT. Five-eight. Pivot of the backline. Late into the side but a dominating force.

LINDSAY SMITH. Half-back. Small and tough. Quick reflexes and great flying passes.

In some respects the fancied 1966 team had a mare 'difficult task than the disregarded 1965 team. Already holding the Alcock Shield, it was difficult ta assess the str\,ngth of the team, especially as the performances at the Ho.use Sports were, on the whole, only fair. The House Sports did reveal some strength in middle distance running when Michael O'Meara ran the 800 metres Under 17 in 1-59.6, closely followed by David Franklin. In the Under 16's., Brian Bradley's 1,500 metres in 4-29.0 was a good run and Tony Fitzgerald, too, was not far behind. The sprinting, though not spectacular, was solid, with at least two runners in each' age group vying with each other for top honours: John Chaney, Gina Scaffidi, Rod Davies (Under 14), Terry Evans, Tony Pensabene, John Sheridan (Under 15), Warren Harrison, Barney O'Shaughnessy and Mick Gallagher (Open).

THE OPEN.

Our Open section was stronger than it has been for many yeOrs, perhaps evidenced by Michael Gallagher's brilliant win in the 100 metres, our first success in an Open sprint since 1958. David Ryan's double, the high jump and hurdles, was another impressive score as was Barney O'Shaughnessy's fine win in the 200 metres, Rabert Huxley surprised most onlookers with an excellent 21 ft. to take off the long jump, while Geoff Hawkins signalized his first appearance at the Inters by winning his shot put. The ·Open section capped a good day with a win in their relay: Ivan Thompson, Mick Gallagher, Barney O'Shaughnessy and Warren Harrison.

UNDER 17.

This age group was a heavy scorer, putting together 156 points, out of a possible 200. John Caratti was again a great worker and team-man, winning his 100, 200, 400 and long jump in impressive style. In the middle distance events, Michael O'Meara and David Franklin showed the results of enthusiasm and hard work with runaway wins in the 800 and 1,500. Geoff Hesford scored a fine double with wins in the hurdles and long jump, while James Barrett, a virtual novice, was a convincing winner in the high jump. Perhaps two of the most memorable performances in this age group were the effarts of David Franklin and Michael O'Meara. The farmer completed a devasating 1,500 metres with his nearest opponent the I.ength of the straight away,_ while Michael showed his remarkable versatility with wins in the 800, 1,500 and 110 hurdles.

This age was reputedly the "Cinderella" group. Not greatly endowed with speedsters, it nevertheless went from rags to riches by gathering 87 of the 160 points. In some respects this was one of the most pleasurable experiences of the day since every member ran better than his previous best. This was apparent in the middledistances where Brian Bradley ran a most authoritative 1,500 metres in the very good time of 4-23.0. Michael Byrne a Iso used sound tactics in his 800 and Tony Fitzgerald just failed ta hold off his fast challenger. However, he had already run a brilliant 1,500 in a time which would have been inside the old recard for the mile. Joe Vergone was our winner in the field event secticn when he took off the second division shot put.

UNDER 15.

Carrying on fram last year, Terry Evans and Tony Pensabene were massive point-scorers for the team. Each set the pattern with fine long-jumping in the first event of the day and Tony went on to win his hurdles in fine style. The two middle distance runners, Graeme McKeown and Alan Lopez wan their 800's in impressive style, with Graeme showing great determination in the closing stages of a hard race.

UNDER

14.

Gino Scaffidi had the honour of winning our first track event and he celebrated with further wins in the hurdles and high jump. Rodney Davies hurdled with much mere of his old sparkle to run off with the first division and he gave the relay team the start it needed ta win comfortably.

Although future years will undoubtedly see better performances and bigger scares at the Inters, no member of the team will ever forget the team-spirit which developed over the last few days and carried us forward on a great wave of enthusiasm. This spirit of "teamship" is far more important than the actual results and undoubtedly much of the credit for this must go ta our team captain, Quentin Ward and to his two deputies, Stephen McDonnell and Michael O'Meara, Teamship does not develop overnight, and the Aquinas team is indebted to these three for creating the seeds of team-work which germinated, slowly at first, but flourished on October 15th at Perry Lakes. Congratulations ta Quentin on belonging to a very exclusive group - the twenty-six captains of victorious Aquinas teams since 1905.

CROSS - COUNTRY.

In preparation for the State Chompionships Relays, we hod a number of trials over the tough "Walsh" course (one ·milel. As a result, the course record was broken in all ages, the most notable being Quentin Ward's 5-25.5 sees. to break Frank Gobbart's 5-30 sees set in 1960.

Otrer times for the one mile course which are now records-

UNDER 14: Greg Barron, 6.04 sees. (previous reccrd: 6.14 sees.)

UNDER 15: Brian Bradley, 5.54 sees. (previous record, 6.04 sees,)

UNDER 16: Russell Stokes, 5.50 sees. (previous record, 5.52 sees.)

UNDER 17: Michael O'Meara, 5.27 sees. (previous record, 5.52 sees,)

After these tria Is we entered the relays with some confidence, and succe,eded in winning the four titles:-

UNDER 1A: Brian Perry, Gino Scaffidi, Michael Lawler, Greg Barron. Time, 22 mins. 22.4' sees.

UNDER 15: Geoff Owens, Paul Campbell, Winston Baptista, Brian Bradley. Time, 21 mins. 55.6 sees.

UNDER 16: Russell Stokes, David Ward, Allen Cusack, John Crespo Time, 21 mins. 19.5 sees.

OPEN: Michael O'Meara, Stephen McDonnell, David Franklin, Quentin Ward. Time, 19 mins. 56.1 sees. (cou rsereco rd).

Our next competition was the College Championships. Quentin Ward retained his unbroken record by winning the Open event fram Under 17 runner David Franklin. Champions in other ages were:-

UNDER 16 (Three Miles): Brian Bradley, 15 mins. 54.5 sees. (reco rd l.

UNDER 15 (Two Miles): Graeme McKeown, 14 mins. 16 sees.

UNDER 14 (Two Miles): Greg Barron, 13 mins. 42 sees. (recordl.

The State Championship Teams' Races proved another interesting day with the team taking three of the four titles:-

OPEN TEAM (First Place): Quentin Ward, David Fronklin, Michael O'Meara, Peter Jordan.

UNDER 16 TEAM (First Place):

Brian Bradley, Russell Stokes, John Cresp, Tony Fitzgerald.

UNDER 15 TEAM (Fourth Place): Graeme McKeown, Brian Perry, Winston Baptista, Alan Lopez.

UNDER 14 TEAM (First Place):

Greg Barron, Gino Scaffidi, Mick Lawler, Tony Grinceri.

Congratulations to all members of the Cross-Country Team which competed with such distinction during the season.

Owing to the long gap between the Inters and the Championships, interest was difficult to maintain this year in what has been, in the past, a testing climax to the season. However, despite the necessary absence of some of the senior athletes, many of the team participated with pleasantly surprising distinction and between them collected ten titles:-

Open:

Quentin Ward, 800 metres; time, 2 mins. 2.5 sees. Warren Harrison, 200 metres; time, 24.0 sees. David Ryan, High Jump.

Under 17:

John Caratti, 200 metres; time, 23.7 sees (22.9 sees. heat). Long Jump, distance, 20 ft. 61 ins. metres; time, 50.5.secs.

in his 400

Under 16:

Geoff Worner, 400 metres; time, 53.8 sees.

Under 15:

Terry Evans, Long Jump; distance, 20 ft. 2·* ins.

Under 14:

John Chaney, 100 metres; time, 12.9 sees.

College Relay:

John Caratti, Michael Gallagher, Barney O'Shaughnessy, Warren Harrison; time, 43.6 sees.

Apart from these wins the following did well in minor placings:-

Second:

Warren Harrison (Hurdles), Stephen McDonnell (800 Metres), John Woddinghom (Triple Jump), Barney O'Shaughnessey (100 Metres), John Scott 800 Metres), Gino Scaffidi (High Jump).

Third:

Warren Harrison (Triple Jump), Quentin Ward (1,500 Metres), John Barrett (High Jump), Brian Bradley (800 Metres).

Some of the performances under the circumstances were particularly good:-

John Caratti's 400 metres was an Aquinas "Best Performance," while Terry Evans missed the record by -} inch. His leap was outstandingly good so that 21 ft. is well within his grasp next year. Brion Bradley also performed above himself by recording 2-5.0 for the 800 metres -a promising time for a specialist 1,500 runner. Geoff Worner (llso branched into the 400 fieldwith a personal best of 53.8. With training next year this could be a winning event for him.

John Caratti will have gocd reason to remember Saturday, November 5th, apart from his great wins in the Stcte Championships. On that day he learned that he hod token second place in the "Sportsman of the Month" Awarda great tribute by the sportswriters of W.A. to John's impressive record in Inters over the yeo rs. John has represented the College from 1961 to 1966 and he has been our top points scorer 1963-66. At this stage of his career he has won nine State titles, including three each in the last two years.

Congratulations, John, on your achievement so fora record we think would be unmatched by any other Aquinian.

Half-way through 1963 Vernon become the organist and for the next three and a half years, except on the odd occasions when he received "mashed" fingers in a hockey match, he conscientiously and generously performed all that was asked of him.

Mr. Boylen, Br. Woodruff, Rev. Fathers, Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of the staff and myself, I am pleased to welcome you to this afternoon's function. It is especially pleasing to extend a warm welcome to our Guest of Honour, Mr. Antoine Boylen. Mr. Bcien this year is concluding fifty years of distinguished serv;ce to our State in the Education Department. His early education began with the Christian Brothers in Kalgoorlie and, after graduating from the University of Western Australia he proceeded through the ranks of the Education Department to the position of Headmaster of a Senior H gh School. His outstanding ability led to his eventual appointment to the responsible post of Director of Secondary Education.

The occasion to-day is significant, since it marks the inauguration of a separate function for the distribution of Junior School awards and the presentation of a report en its activities. The occasion becomes we feel, increasingly important with the presence of such a distinguished Guest of Honcur.

Our Junior School has occupied many areas since our arrival on this site in 1938. We began in the original building now fronting the Memorial Oval and then, because of rapid expansion, we had to move, successively, through the old Grandstand, some renovated Army huts and in 1963 this bright and airy building set in such beautiful SAroundings. With our present numbers (216) divided into a fourth, a fifth, two sixth and two seventh grades, we still require room for further expansion.

THE CURRICULUM.

The curriculum is based on the broader concept of primary' education which foregoes the mere learning of facts for their own sake and attempts to promote the ide::J of "learning by doing." School has, we hope, be:ome more exciting for our students. There is more scope for initiative and the pupils are encouraged to carry out research and perform experiments in this programme of "learning by doing." At the same time we believe that academic excellence can be achieved only by a b::Jlanced mental discipline, achieved by rational training in the use of our two basic communications: words and numbers. I would like to soya few words on the nature of the training in these two fundamental skills - English and Ma'.hematics - skills which can be supplemented by encouragement in the home itself.

In the c1ossrooms we provide the opportunity for each child to express himself. You have seen examples of this in the fourth grader who writes his little story for the class collection, the lad in fifth contributing to class news and further stories, in sixth class trying himself in the novel which is often typed by Mum or an elder sister, while the seventh grader expresses himself in poetry and tackles the more difficult assignment in the writing of a biagraphy of same prominent person, who in some cases is his own father or grandfather.

Reading, both oral and silent, plays a big part in our scheme. Starting with the reading "hospital" in fourth, the lad is encouraged to read aloud f"'ently and to read silently for understanding. To help develop these skills we make use of reading laboratories and a reading machine which has proved its worth in the short period we have used it.

The end point of this scheme is ta train the pupil to select suitable material and read it with understanding. In a way, then, the process culminates in our visits to aur own .class libraries and also the excellent services provided by the State Library system whose branch operates so efficiently in Manning. By the time our students reach school-leaving age there is every possibility that the number of working hours per week will be shortened even more in Australia so that "education for leisure" becomes even mare imperative in the Primary School Curriculum.

MATHEMATICS.

The introduction of the "new" mathematics into the primary grades comes as a direct result of widesprecd, long-term study of the mathematics programme. The study itself was necessitated by important cultural, social, and economic changes in our society. These changes have been like a chain reaction to the technological and scientific advances af our times. Because there is now a greater need for exactness, speed, and accurate prediction, the mathematical way of reasoning is being applied increasingly to industry, business, science and exploration.

The emphasis is therefore on meaning rather than Concepts are presented in a meaningful manner with generalization growing out ofexamples, exploration and discovery.

We as teachers and you as parents must be prepared to accept the challenge of re-thinking through a subject with which the children may need assistance. We must beccme familiar with a different terminology so that we can make the pupils more appreciative of the part played by mathematics in our culture.

These two disciples - English and Mathematics are our fundamentals in communication and I would like to reemphasize that it is, in our opinion, difficult to prEdict future academic progress through the Seccndary classes unless the youngster is encouraged to grasp them in his early years.

Apart from these fundamental studies, the curriculum embraces other subjects, nat less important, which we believe will help to make the bay more aware of his natural s'Jrraundings and his neighbour and thus lead ta a more enriched life.

In surrounding such as these, the boys have a great opportunity to cultivate an awareness of nature and their classroom displays of Nature Study projects make a feature of local flora and fauna and reflect their keen interest and observation.

In the field of Social Studies we have an opportunity of learning about other peoples, their way of life and their current problems.

SOCIAL STUDIES.

As we are closely related geographically with South East Asia the two Senior Classes were directed to carry out a survey of the countries of Indonesia, Phillipines, Malaysia and New Guinea. The lives of the people were studied, and research was carried out on the physical features, the agricultural and industrial potential af each country. You have seen from projects the amount of material garnered from our own and the Walter Murdock Library. Project work in the Lower Grades features the resources of Wesiern Australia.

ART MUSIC.

Art is featured in each classroom and here you have witnessed the development of the boy's own talent in the many varied imaginative works, which range from the colouring af paper cutouts to the intricate design of a stained glass window.

Music and musical appreciation along with class singing have given us the opportunity to take part in our own and the Brothers' Annual Eisteddfod. The choral and instrumental work to-day portrays some of the appcrtunities available. The verse-speaking choir which you heard today was second in the Brothers' Annual Eisteddfod.

The New Chapel is the centre of our life in the College. We assemble for morning prayers as' a school on set morn-' ings and on special feasts we join in the celebration of Mass. Our devoted Chaplain, Reverend Richard Crotty, 0.5. B., is ever ready to take care of our spiritual needs.

Monsignor Bourke examined the religious knowledge of the vorious closses during the year. He was extremely pleosed with the responses. Recently there were over seventy Junior School boys who received the Sacrament of Confirmation from his Lordship Bishop McKeon.

Messrs. Wolsh and McLean, the two State Superintendents of Education, visited us in the last term. Both were most impressed by the standard of work and the neatness of presentation.

We were honoured, too, by the visits of Superintendents Mr. Mork Tamba Tamba, from Zambia, Mr. Tow Boga, from Papuo, and a librarian, Mr. Michael Odu, from Nigeria. These delightful personalities gave us a glimpse of the keenness by which they hope to raise the standard of their own countrymen. Three local headmasters, Mr. Paul Buddee, Koonawarra, Mr. L. Phillips, Manning, and Mr. R. Oliver, from Mt. Pleasant Research School, exchanged visits.

Gymnostics for development of co-ordinotion of the body, is an activity enjoyed by all. Physiology and Hygiene follow on naturally as part of this body development.

In the reolm of sport because of the interest of some devoted po rents in coaching and the work of the staff we hove held our place exceedingly well in competition with other schools.

For those not sufficiently advanced to participate in inter-school sport, games are arranged within the school itself.

We con assure you then, if you need any assuran<;e, that your children ore under the influence of a most devoted staff, who take pride in making every boy feel an individual even though he is a part of this school community.

You must remember that though the child is with us for port of the time it is the influence of you good parents thot is vital. The child consciously or unconsciously develops a code of conduct which mirrors in miniature that of his parents. In the process of growth and survival children soon develop a remarkably wise insight into what things are said for soying's sake and what things are meant to be done.

Does he heor you say this should be done or that and then hears you brag obout how you got away with not doing it, as an adult, or when caught breoking the rules olwoys blome the other person, the weather, the boss, the conditions, prejudiced witnesses - anybody or anything but never yourself. The ideo of accepting responsibility to society or whotever it may be con alwoys be avoided with a good alibi.

The consciences of children are not formed by us formol educators of religion. We can explain the love of God ond His expectations for them, we can open up visions, give wisdom, guidonce and encouragement, but at best we are only part-time mirrorsof God to a given child.

In the motter of discipline moy I perhaps add a few thoughts.

We should aim ot, not blind obedience to orders, but something based on reason, understanding and co-operation. Without it our community life would be impossible. There is no true liberty without discipline.

The basis of all discipline is self-discipline, it embraces the idea of self-control and self-restraint.

We could define discipline as the performance of duty and this conception underlines the whole Christian Teaching on personal conduct and so we must impress this upon every child in our core.

The root of discipline is that "something" which man sets obove himself and for whose greater value he will give up his own wishes in order that the Cause may prevoil, in order that the community may continue.

You give us the foundotion and we will build you an edifice of whIch you will be proud.

Moy the peace of the Lord be with you and your children. May your children grow to be shining examples of that glorious Foith which ever remains our precious heritage.

INTER - SCHOOL.

The Athletics this year were conducted by Christ Church at Mt. Claremont. They are to be congratulated on their efficient running of the sports.

The largest primary team ever to represent the College achieved its shore of success in win...,ing seven events and finishing second eight times. Relay boys performed very creditably, only the Under 9 team finishing out of a place; they were fourth. A very great team effort was noticeable throughout the sports.

Individual winners were:-

P. Prendiville: Under 13B High Jump, 4 ft. 6 ins.

I. Watson: Under 12A 100 Metres, 14.3 secs.

M. Pusey: Under lOA 50 Metres, 7.9 secs.

J. Budiselik: Under 12B Brood Jump, 14 ft. 1 in.

P. Becker: Under 13A 55 Metres Hurdles, 9.9 secs.

As the metric distances were introduced this year race records were inaugural. Jump records are still kept in feet and inches, a new record of 4 ft. lOins. being set in the Under 13 High Jump.

The Swimming conducted by Hale School in their own school pool showed the supremacy of two schools in Junior school swimming, viz., Guildford and Hale. Aquinas boys performed well - there being three winners - John Bond, Under 11 B Freestyle, Greg McDowell, Under 12A Breaststroke, and Jamie Prendiville, Under 11 A Breast-stroke. One relay team, the Under 12B and four individual boys finished second in their races.

During third term Mr. Pedersen is giving special coaching to swimmers in the afternoons after school.

Footboll. This year GUildford were hosts for the lightning carnival. Aquinas presented a very strong tearn which played magnificent football until the lost few minutes when GUildford scored two quick goals to win by one point. In" the plate competition for the losers Aquinas anxious to make amends scored 11 goals 4 behinds in the twenty minutes against a Christ Church second team. The plate final was won by Aquinas by only a small margin whi'e St. Louis won the premiership.

Best PloYErs: Peter Brown, Andris Garkaklis, Russell Murphy, Ivan Prgomet and John Speering.

Four teams took their places against other schools this year:-

Firsts: The firsts lost the first game of the season but afterwords played an excellent, fast, play-on style of football winning all remaining matches.

Best Pbyers for Season: Mark Szczecinski (Best and Fairest), Greg. McMahon (Runner-up>.

Under 12 Team: This team played quite well They were defeated only once and that by three points.

Best Players: Paul Smith (Best and Fairest), Tom Quilty (Runner-up), David Bell, 3rd Place (als:) played with firsts>.

Under 11 Team: Captained by G. Travers with M. Maher, Vice-captain, this team won every match of the inter-school series.

Best ·and Fairest was S. McNamara with J. P.endiville Runner-up.

Other Best Players were: P. Hearne, M. Pearce, P. McMullan, D. Szczecinski, P. Ahern, P. Skeehan.

Under 10 Team: This team was also most successful being undeafeated. The captain, S. Stanton, was also best and fairest while the vice-captain, J. Banting, was runnerup. The College can look forward to some good years of service from the obove and the following who showed some geod form during the season, J. Carr, M. Dixon, D. Harrison, P. Franklyn and P. Murphy.

Cricket early in the year was limited to only a few games in which Aquinas were mostly successful except for the Under 12's. .

Firsts: Aquinas 61, lost to Fremantle CB.C, 76 runs; Aquinas 61, defeated Christ Church, 25 runs; Aquinas 88, defeated Trinity, 64 runs; Aquinas 77, narrowly defeated Scotch, 71 runs; Aquinas 38, defeated Hale, 19 runs.

Best was John Speering with the outstanding performance of scoring 108 runs and taking 11 wickets for 30 runs. I. Prgomet scored 66 runs and C Perrott took 6 wickets for 14 runs.

Under 12 Team: Aquinas 45, arew with Christ Church, 45 runs; Aquinas 64, lost to Scotch, 66 runs; Aquinas 33, lost to Hale, 34 runs.

Under 11 Team: Aquinas 38, defeated Christ Church, 29 runs; Aquinas 41, lost to Trinity, 42 runs; Aquinas 67, easily defeated Hale, 24 runs.

Best all-rounder was Captain, Michael Maher, who was best bowler with 13 wickets for 32. Best batsmcn was G. Travers with 41 runs.

Under 10 Team: The Under la's. won all three match:os against Christ Church, Scotch and Hole. Best all-round cricketer in this age was the Captain, Denis Rigg.

Hockey was introduced this year for the first time. Aquinas defeated Trinity and Christ Church, c,ut lost to GUildford in the three matches played. Best hockey player during the season was David Bell.

HOUSE SPORT.

Early in the year saw the Junior School at Beatty Perk for the inter-house Swimmiftg carnival. This was he'd in the main pool and was won by St. Edmund's by the narrow margin of four points from St. John's house.

Age Champions were as follows:-

Under 13: Peter Prendiville, 15 points; M. Stanton, 7 points.

Under 12: Greg. McDowell, 15 points; S. Melvin, 9 points.

Under 1 1: Jamie Prendiville, 13 points; J. Bond, 8 points.

Under 10: Gary Prendiville, 8 points; D. Melvin, 7 points.

Under 9: Michael Durack, 7 points; G. Sullivan, 6 points.

Athletics: This year's sports day this year was somewhat marred by intermittent showers, but the boys' enthusiasm was exceptionally keen. All teams contested each event vigorously and although St. Edmund's won by a margin of 23 points, St. Paul's, runners-up, could have won up until the third last event. The 1,500 metres provided a great race when, eight year gold, Paul Bridgwood, set a great pace and was only beaten in the last hundred metres by David Fitzhardinge.

Age Champions were:-

Under 12: Peter Becker, 24 points; Peter Brown, 22 points.

Under 12: Stephen Melvin, 20} points; Mark Franklyn, 19 points.

Under 11: Bradley Cooper and Michael Wells, 23 points.

Under 10: Michael Pusey, 16 points; M. Dixon, 7} points.

Under 9: Paul Bridgwood, 8 points; G. Crothers, 5 points.

Over 13 Age: James Morrissey, 16 points.

Tennis: Boys were again coached in tennis by M·. Bonner, who trained boys in both First and Third Term.

Football: House football teams enthusiastically competed once again this year. Teams had varying success in the different divisions:-

"A" Division - St. Paul's.

"B" Division - St. Edmund's.

"C" Division - St. John's.

Cricket: House cricket is well in progress as this goes to print. Competition is keen and at this stage any house could win.

The College is extremely appreciative of the help of parents who made themselves available as officials, coaches, or for transporting children, often at great inconvenience to themselves. Thanks so much!

Many thanks also to a willing band of ladies who was willingly aided in the afternoon teas on Sports day.

Review 0/ 1966

By K. J. KELSALL, President of the Old Aquinians' Association.

One hesitates to make extravagant statements during the period such as this, when each successive year produces some outstanding achievement at Aquinas. Nevertheless there is every justificatitan to rega rd 1966 as one of the most memorable in the 73-year history of the College. During 1966, the Old Aquinians' Association has continued its steady pattern of growth under conditions which have been made favourable both by the excellent public image now enjoyed by the College and also by the unfailing courtesy and co-operation that has always been received from the Headmaster and all the staff at Aquinas.

CHAPEL.

The completion and official opening of the new Chapel onon August 12th was an event of major significance to all Old Boys, but perhaps more particularly to those who attended the College in 1938 when the site at Mt. Henry was mainly undeveloped bushland.

The Chapel is a prestige building; magnificently conceived in a way that is bath functional and modern, and yet which fully retains the finest traditions of the Catholic Church.

The Old Boys were naturally delighted that the Architect who played such a distinguished part in the planning and construction of this building, was Mr. George Thompson, Vice-President of the Old Aquinians' Association.

Following the blessing and the official opening of the :hapel by Bishop McKeon, Pontifical High Mass was celebrated by an Old Aquinian, Bishop L. J. Goody, of Bunbury, who was assisted by three Old Boy Priests - Fathers K. Keating, J. McNamara and P. Cunningham.

The new Aquinas Chapel is available for the weddings of Old Boys when solemnised with Nuptial Mass.

Any Old Boys wishing to be married in the Chapel should contact the Headmaster who will advise full details and supply the necessary application forms. There are already four Old Boys' weddings planned for January, 1967.

SPORT.

This year Aquinas shared the Hockey Trophy with Christ Church and the Cricket Trophy (Doriot Cup) with Hale School. However, sport at Aquinas in 1966 was again dominated for the second successive year by the outstanding victories in rawing and athletics.

On April 16th, the five College crews and the Old Bays' crew made a clean sweep of all races at the Head of the River Regatta, while an October 15th, the Athletics Team wan the Inter-Schaal Sports by a margin of 142 paintsscaring a record 593 paints.

Fallowing the rowing successes in 1965, considerable support was given by Old Bays to an Appeal for the purchase of additional rowing equipment.

The new racing shell - named "Aquinas IV" - which was used successfully by the first crew at the 1966 Regatta - was purchased as the result of this appeal.

The new training eight which was also purchased, has been named "c. J. Wroblewski" in honour of an Old Bay who is the best known rowing coach at Aquinas.

As a means of giving same recognition to the tremendous efforts made an behalf of athletics at Aquinas by one of the Association's past presidents (Mr. Geoff Warner) and his brother (Rev. Bra. B. S. Warner), the Committee this year approved of the construction of an "all weather" training area for field events an the west side of the Memorial Oval.

The area includes three concrete surfaced shot p:.;tt throwing circles, ttagether with long jump and high jump run-ups which have been surfaced with rubber asphalt.

Although the construction techniques used for the runups is somewhat experimental, it is considered that the surface will remain sound, and the Committee trusts that these facilities will assist the athletes to maintain the improvement in the field events which was shawn this year.

The 'Association congratulates the coaches of all the crews, but is naturally very proud that an Old Bay in Rev. Bra. N. Wilson has been so directly responsible for the great rawing revival by Aquinas and also recognises the assistance given by another Old Bay (Joe Saunders) in the coaching of the Second VIII.

The Association is also very grateful to those Old Bays who have given so freely of their time during the year to coach the College teams in the various sports. Prominent amongst these are Maurie Bridgwood and Frank (Dick) Walker in football, Sid Briggs in cricket, Eugene O'Driscoll in rugby, and Ken Kennedy in hockey.

During the year the annual challenge matches in football and cricket were played between the College and the Old Boys, and in both matches the College teams were successful.

ANNUAL COMMUNION.

This year the Annual Communion was held on the 1st September. It preceded the reception held in honour of Bro. Redmond and was attended by more than 40.0

Being the first Old Boys' function in the new Chapel, it was a most impressive occasion and of particular satisfaction to the Brothers.

The Communion Mass was celebrated by a distinguished Old Boy - Rt. Rev. Mons. C. Cunningham, of Albany.

With the special draw cards of the new Chapel and Bro. Redmond's Jubilee, this year's Communion was naturally an outstanding success. However, Old Boys are reminded that the Communion and follow up social are annual events and all the essential ingredients which make for a successful Old Boys' re-union, will always be there.

The Committee is therefore mast hopeful that 1967 and succeeding years wi!1 bring a similar enthusiastic response.

PUBLICATIONS.

This year, the Association published four copies of its newspaper "Fish" together with three copies of the newsletter "Sardine."

The Association has every reason to be proud of "Fish" which is recognised as being one of the best publications of its type in Australia and much of the credit for this is due to the fine editing by Mr. Frank Davidson.

The regular publication of "Fish" is one of the Association's most important octivities since it enables the Old Bays to keep in touch, wath with each ather and with the current activities at the College.

There is, however, an urgent need for all Old Bays to realise that they can help to make "Fish" even more attractive by submitting stories, personal pars or photos of current or past interest.

SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.

The Association again conducted a Cabaret Dance on the evening of bath the Head of the River and Inter-School Sports. The boat race dance was held at the Aquinas Hall. With an attendance of 250, this function was a great success, both socially and financially, and a fitting celebration for that day's victories.

The "I nters" dance was held at Hackett Ha II, Flareat Park. Although it was an enjoyable function, the small attendance of only 90 prevented it from being socially successfu I and in addition, a financia I lass was incurred by the Association.

The failure of the "Inters" dance was mast disappointing and is difficult to understand, particularly fallowing the fine victory.

The position in respect to these twa traditional functions will be closely studied by the Committee with a view to considering possible changes for 1967.

MEMBERSHIP.

Although the financial membership of the Association has continued to increase steadily, it remains one of the regular problems faced by the Committee.

In 1965 the membership reached an all time high of 397 and the Committee confidently set up a target of 500 financial members for 1966.

By the end of November, 1966, a total of 466 had been registered. While this total is a matter of satisfaction and will no doubt be improved an before the end of the year, it is apparent that we will be waiting until 1967 before the annual membership figure passes 500.

The $2.00 annual subscription is only a small amount and can be very easily overlooked. However, like all other sections of the community, the Association is feeling the effects of rising casts so that the regular payment of membership dues is essential for its survival.

The build up in registered members also greatly increases the status of the Association and this is a further aspect of great importance.

BROTHER REDMOND'S JUBILEE.

On September 1st, the Old Aquinians' Association held a reception to enable Bra. Redmond's many friends to congratulate him on his Diamond Jubilee, and als:> on the Award of the M.B.E. The crowd of 510 was the largest ever attracted to an Old Boys' function and strained the capacity of the College Hall. However the evening was a tremendous success. All generations of Old Aquinians were well represented and many old friendships were renewed.

It is felt that the prestige of the Association has benefitted considerably fram this very happy gathering.

During the evening Bro. Redmond was presented with air tickets and a wallet to cover incidental expenses for a holiday trip to New Zealand where he taught from 1908 to 1915.

The Committee also subsequently presented to Bro. Redmond a photo album which suitably records the functions held in his honour.

HONOUR ROLL.

Arrangements are now being finalised for the preparation of the Old Aquinians' Honour Roll for World Wars I and II. The Honour Roll will be in the form of a book to be retained in the Aquinas Chapel. The book will be designed by Mr. Frank Norton (Director of Perth Art Gallery) who was the Navy's war artist. The cover for the book will be presented by the Old Scotch Collegians.

LIFE MEMBERS.

An Honour Board listing the names of life members ot the Old Aquinians' Association, has been completed and with the co-operation of the Headmaster will be conspicuously disolayed at the College.

The Committee, in authorising this work, that some suitoble recognition should be given to this select band of Old Aquinians who have tirelessly worked in the best interests of the Association and the· College.

Old Aquinillns' President, Ken Kelsall, hands to Bro. M. F. Redmond air tickets end a wallet of incidental expenses for a holiday trip to New Zealand where he taught from 1908 to 1915. The presentation was made at the Old Boys' reception to Bro. Redmond on his Diamond Jubilee.

SCHOLARSHIPS.

In 1966, one full scholarship and one partial scholarship were awarded by the Association to enable the recipents to complete their 4th and 5th years of secondary educaticn at Aquinas College.

LADIES' COMMITTEE.

The Association appreciates the support rendered by the Ladies' Committee during 1966.

The Ladies' Committee organised a parade and a mcrning tea which returned an amount of approximately $180 to the scholarship fund.

Great assistance was also given during the reception to Bro. Redmond and in the catering associated with the annual crickett match and at the Annual General Meeting.

ANNUAL GOLF DAY.

The Annual Golf Day was held at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club an the 20th November and was again one of the most enjoyable events on the calendar.

The Committee was most gratified when Bros. Woodruff, Egan, Marphett and Worner accepted invitations to join the competition and to attend the buffet at the Club House.

Special thanks is due to Dr. Ted Cocks who was responsible for most of the organisation and also to the Committee of the Lake Karrinyup Country Club.

LIAISON OFFICER.

The Old Boys learnt with considerable regret of the transfer of Rev. Bro. B. E. Egan to the position cif Headmaster of the Junior Sschoal at St. Kevin's College, Victoria.

Bro. Egan had been stationed at Aquinas for 22 years - during which pericd he was a keen supporter of the Old Aquinians' Asociation and has been Liaison Officer for years.

OLD AQUINIANS' HOCKEY CLUB.

1966 has been a very successful year far the Old Aquinians' Hackey Club when two of the five teams (j.e., A2 and B2) wan Premierships and the B2 and C1 teams won Challenge Cup Pennants.

The Club President (Peter Kennedy) and all the members are ta be cangratulated on these successes, particularly in respect to the A2 team which will now regain its A1 status following a lapse of four years.

The Hockey Club represents a very active organisat;an af the Old Boys and is recammended for all recent school leavers to join.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING.

The 1967 Annual General Meeting af the Association will be held at Aquinas on Wednesday, 8th March.

The Committee is looking forward ta a good roll up of members and a particular welcome is extended to those who left school in 1966.

One af the greatest oarsmen from the old college died on the morning of Head of the River day. This was Jim Child, who rowed for Aquinas in 1908 and 1909. The four he straked in the latter year held the race record of 5 mins. 27 secs. for many years. One of the winning boats in this year's regatta was the Jim Child four.

Continuing his rowing after he left school, Jim Child became one of the greatest oarsmen Western Australia h:s seen. He rowed in seven King's Cup races. He was No. 6 in the winning W.A. crew stroked by George Rogers at Launceston in 1921. Jim stroked the W.A. eight when it won the King's Cup in Melbourne in 1925.

After he gave up active rowing he became an outstanding cdministrator cnd rowing official.
