THE LUCERNIAN

EDITORIAL Australia has developed immensely in the aborigines, and there is no Federal the last ten years, but she still has- many controlling body. Another is that one internal problems to overcome. I think cannot treat all the aborigines in the in this year of race disturbances that same manner ; some are still in a cornthe most pressing are to do with our - pletely primitive state, some have conaborigines and the White Australia tact with Western civilisation only on Policy. outback stations, and some live in the The White Australia Policy gives Aus- suburbs of the cities and. work with city tralia a very bad name in Asian coun- firms. tries, and I believe it should be abolished, or at least modified. The last Gallup Poll showed that slightly more than half of the population wished for a review of this policy ; they wished to let a limited number of Asians enter. This idea has been growing steadily for the past few years, and I hope it will continue to grow. It has been said' that White. Australia " is a misnomer. People say that if only we take.. the words " White Australia " away and substitute something else, all our troubles will be over. This, I feel, is untrue ; " White Australia " describes the outcome; 'even if not -the intentions, of the policy. However, the.. problem I think is most pressing at the moment is that of the Australian aborigines. Very few people know or care what is being done for them ; some do not realise the difficulties, and have their own pet schemes for liberating the abprigines overnight. One of the greatest (problems . at the moment is that each State has different laws for

Many white Australians (often quite unthinkingly) regard the aborigines as big children. They do not actually feel superior because of skin colour, but they feel that the aborigines should be protected and treated gently. This idea may have some truth in. it, but it can be carried too far ; the aborigines can be protected so much that they are kept in a state of knowing nothing about the rest - Of Australia. This has happened in some camps in. Queensland, where all mail for the aborigines was opened and 'vetted! Being too zealous to protect them can harm them in the aim to educate .: them .for full citizenship. I have touched on every few problems of the aborigines ; I could not possibly discuss "them all in such a small space. f have not mentioned .the good work being done by the Government and the Churches. I know'7... that Morongo, like Other schools, is helping ' in the drive for better and broader ediication, so that young Australians can take an interest in their country's problems.

COUNCIL \OTES The Late Mr. J. N. David The members of the School Council suffered a grievous loss in the death of their Chairman, Mr. J. Norman David. Mr. David, who was appointed to the Council in 1932 and served as Chairman from 1946 to 1961, had made a notable contribution to the life of Morongo. His intense interest in all phases of the school life, his wise leadership, and his infectious enthusiasm, were qualities which will be long remembered by his colleagues. Chairman Following the death of Mr. David, Mr. Cedric L. Hirst was appointed Chairman of the Council. Representing the Parents' and Friends' Association, Mr. Hirst has been a member of the Council since 1946. New Member The vacancy on the Council caused by the death of Mr. David was filled by the appointment by the Geelong Presbytery of Mr. R. W. Munro, formerly the senior head teacher for Geelong's State primary schools. Mr. Munro, who is well known for his community service work in this city, received a warm welcome to the School Council. Buildings The School Architects have again been kept busy this year, with instructions to plan for a new changing-room and toilet block adjacent to the classrooms, and for an extension to the library. This work will be carried out shortly. The next major project contemplated by the Council is the erection of a two-storey classroom block in brick along the northern side of the " quadrangle " and the moving of the wooden rooms at present on that site. Heating A decision has also been made to install a gas heating system in the classrooms. This should be ready for next winter. Staff and Pupils So consistently good is the performance of the School in every department

that it is hardly necessary to record again the sincere gratitude of the Council to the Principal and members of the various staffs for their excellent work. The members of the Council congratulate the Principal, staff and pupils on their many successes. D.G.N.

OBITUARY Mr. J. N. David Mr. J. N. David had a long association with Morongo, and we were very sad indeed to hear of his death in June. Mr. David was a member of the Parents' and Friends' Association from 1928, and from 1932 until his death he was a member of the Council as a representative of He was the Presbytery of Geelong. Chairman of the Council from June, 1945, until June, 1961. Mr. David's association with the School was not simply a formal, benevolent one, but was characterised by intense personal interest in the girls themselves, as well as strong support for every suggested improvement of school buildings and facilities. He had a list of all the girls' Public Examination numbers, and was fully conversant with the success (or otherwise) of each girl. He never failed to write to the girls or the staff, or others connected with Morongo to express sympathy or to congratulate them on any achievement. During the last few years of his life, his greatest regret in his failing health was his inability to come so often to Morongo. He was delighted to know he had a granddaughter to come here to the School he was so proud of and loved so much. He unveiled the bronze plaque (bearing his name) on the wall of the Founders' Hall, and his last official appearance was to preside over the Founders' Dinner in the Hall. At Assembly this year he told the story of the Lamps, which he felt was peculiarly appropriate to Morongo, and so we can remember that his message to us was to " Keep our lamps burning." His name is commemorated in David House.

THE LUCERNIAN

PARENTS' AND FRIENDS' ASSOCIATION The Annual Meeting of the Parents' and Friends' Association was held at Morongo on April 25th, and was exceptionally well attended. The President, Mr. H. R. Fidge, was most heartened to see so many new faces, and emphasised the fact that it was the interest and enthusiasm of the parents that kept alive the aims of the Association. As the senior girls left school, naturally enough, the parents lost touch to a certain extent with school activities, and it was for the parents of the younger girls to carry on the tradition" set by parents of past scholars. Office-bearers for the ensuing year are : President, Mr. H. R. Fidge ; Vice-Presidents, Mr. E. C. Laird, Mr. C. L. Hirst, Mrs. P. Lowe ; Secretary, Mrs. T. Goodall ; Treasurer, Mr. C. Cowperthwaite. The Garden Party held earlier in the year in conjunction with the Junior Auxiliary and Old Collegians was a most successful function, and provided an opportunity for parents and friends to enjoy the afternoon at Morongo. The weather was very kind to us, and the net amount of 1702 was the financial result. Our thanks are due to the organisers, headed by their chairman, Mr. F. Timms, for their splendid work; our Treasurer, Mr. Cowperthwaite ; and many others who assisted on that day.

The annual crazy whist evening was held in the new School Dining Hall on 8th March, and was a very pleasing social function. Many new parents were pleased to meet Miss Shaw and members of the staff, and a very enjoyable evening was had in most delightful surroundings. We are pleased to have been able to present a television set to the School, and we trust that it will greatly benefit the boarders in both educational value and as a form of entertainment. We are looking forward to our final meeting, which will take the form of a theatre party at the Pix Theatre, with supper to follow at the new Y.W.C.A., and hope that the year's activities will finish on a happy note. We feel we could not let this report go to print without making mention of the severe _loss we sustained early this year in the passing of one of our VicePresidents, Mr. J. N. David. He was a very valued and loyal member of this Association and of all organisations connected with Morongo, and his passing is a great loss to the School. Our sympathy has already been expressed to Mrs. David, but we would like this small paragraph to be a token of respect to his memory. Joan I. Goodall, Hon. Sec.

SCHOOL NOTES School commenced on Wednesday, February 8th. At Assembly that morning Miss Blowes, Miss Graham, Miss Hay, Mrs. Holder, Miss Olding and Miss Williams were welcomed to the staff. We were very glad to welcome Miss Sawatzky back to the staff at the beginning of the Second Term, after her trip abroad. It was with great sorrow that we heard of the death of Mr. David, the Chairman of our School Council, in the second week of June. We were all very fond of Mr. David, and will always re-

member his thoughtfulness and generosity to the School. On March 13th, the day of the School Fete, the Founders' Dining Hall was opened. It has become a beautiful and indispensable part of our School, and is a constant reminder to us of the goodness of the Founders of Morongo. From this year onwards there will be a special day set apart on which we remember and pay tribute to the Founders. The first Founders' Day was held this year on April 20th.

THE LUCERNIAN To the School Council we extend our grateful thanks for their generosity and all the interest they show in the welfare of the pupils of Morongo. Margot Hallam.

JUNIOR SCHOOL NOTES This year has been a very happy one. There have been a record number of entries, and it has been a very busy but satisfying year. Unfortunately, several of the entries were in the top classes of the Junior School, and the girls found it very difficult to reach the required standard. Girls who are able to begin in the Kindergarten find the work much easier. Mrs. Cowey joined us early in the first term, and spent the year with us. She had much to contribute, and it was unfortunate that she wished to stay for only one year. At the end of the second term Miss Darling left to live in Melbourne. She had endeared herself to the girls, and they were very sorry to see her leave. It was fortunate that we were able to add Mrs. Baxter to the staff. She has very much to contribute to the girls. The children will benefit by her energetic and fresh approach to the work. Mrs. Baxter was pleased to find the atmosphere existing at Morongo, where the emphasis is on personality as well as the ability of each individual child. The first function of the year was the Annual Athletics, which was held in April. The joint winners of the Junior Championships were Denise Went and Judith Ince. Later came Hobbies Day, which was held on Friday, October 27th. This year, as a result of the co-operation of Miss Scott, of Scotch College, some new ideas were introduced and were in evidence on Hobbies Day. As usual, we have been most appreciative of the assistance of Mrs. Walters, who provides the music for the senior grades. Sometimes we wonder how we were able to manage prior to her joining the staff. As a result of the thoughtfulness and energy of the Junior Auxiliary, the girls have gained the benefit of a television

7

set. We have watched many interesting and instructive lessons since its i r1stallation. Again, the radiogram, which was another gift of the Junior Auxiliary, has given us much pleasure and instruction. To all members of the Auxiliary and those connected with the Junior School we would like to extend greetings for the Christmas Season.

JUNIOR SCHOOL AUXILIARY The Auxiliary 1-1a.s had a most successful year under the leadership of Mrs. G. C. Darby, assisted by the following office-bearers : Vice - Presidents, Mrs. G. S. Kidd and Mrs. E. V. Henton ; Secretary, Mrs. E. J. Stock ; Treasurer, Mrs. W. L. Hobart ; and Committee Members Mesdames Ingpen, Collins, Taylor, Sargood, Wardle, Vickers-Willis ; ex-officio, Mrs. L. W. Hatton. For the first time, members conducted a cake stall at the Garden Party, and worked together with the Old Collegians' Association and the Parents' and Friends' Association to make this a very happy and successful function. During the year the Auxiliary purchased a television set for the Junior School and a record-player for the Nursery. We have continued with sales of used clothing. We held an Australian Tea at the June meeting, at which Miss Shaw was the speaker. The annual social evening at Kirrewur Court was most enjoyable. Our thanks to Miss June Parrott, who entertained .us with slides of her tour of Malaya and Japan. To Miss Shaw we extend our thanks and appreciation for her help and interest during the year, and we take this opportunity of thanking Miss Courtney and her staff for their untiring efforts in the training of our children. The Auxiliary has received the loyal support of all office-bearers and members throughout the year, and a cordial welcome is extended to all mothers of Junior and Nursery School pupils to attend our meetings in the coming year. N. Stock, Hon. Sec,

Our thanks go to the members of staff, for all their advice and encouragement throughout the year, and especially to Miss Shaw, for all the help and interest she has shown in our many activities. The Prefects and Deputy Prefects have given loyal service throughout the year, for which I am most grateful.

CHURCH NOTES At the beginning of First Term we were all very sorry to hear of the sudden illness of our Chaplain, the Rev. K. MacLean. As his health improved, Mr. MacLean was able to go for a holiday, accompanied by his wife. He has told us in his many messages and letters that his health is steadily improving now, and we sincerely hope it will continue in this way. We were all very pleased that he was able to take some part in the service at St. David's on Sunday, 17th September, although he is unable, as yet, to resume his full duties. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Rev. A. D. Hallam, who, in our Chaplain's absence, has been taking our Assembly on Thursday mornings and Scripture classes for the senior girls. Our thanks go also to the Rev. E. C. McLean, who conducted Confirmation classes at Morongo on Tuesday evenings after school. The following girls were admitted into full membership of the Presbyterian Church on 13th August and took their first Communion on the following Sunday : Leslie Begg, Alison Bufton, Sandra Bufton, Julie

Cowperthwaite, Rosemary Crossley, Nancy Gray, Elizabeth McCann, Janice McDonald, Yvonne McLarty, Margaret A. McLean, Diane Miles, Jessica Selle, Anne Selman, Marjorie Stuckey and Heather Venters. On Sunday, 7th May, members of the Senior School took part in the marching on Empire Youth Day, and after the march we attended a service at the Congregational Church, Gheringhap Street, which was conducted by the Rev. J. Bodycomb. Throughout the year the boarders have attended the morning services at St. David's and have joined in several Communion Services. On Palm Sunday we sang part of the " Story of the Cross." The Anglican members of the School have attended All Saints' Church. This year a Confirmation Service was held on October 22nd, and Patricia Read was confirmed. The School Service was held in St. David's on Sunday, October 8th, the speaker being the Rev. E. C. McLean. The School Choir led the worship with the anthem, " Lord, for Thy tender mercies' sake." Yvonne McLarty.

THE LUCERNIAN

HOUSE NOTES ARDENS " See Wisdom." The girls of Ardens this year have to a great extent maintained their high standard of work and sport. This fact is largely owing to the keen enthusiasm of the members. Unfortunately, however, there seems to be a number of girls who show no interest in the House, and these are the girls who will bring down Arden's standards, unless they prove to the House that they are fulfilling their motto, " Seek Wisdom." First Term was very busy, as both the swimming and athletic sports were held. We congratulate Roslyn on winning the athletic sports and Lawson on their win in the swimming sports. I would like to thank all those girls who competed so enthusiastically in the sports, especially Susan Cook (Intermediate athletics runner-up) and Dorothy Green (Intermediate swimming runner-up). During second term basketball and hockey matches were played, and we extend our congratulations to Harris for winning the hockey and Lawson and Roslyn for their tie in basketball. On behalf of the House I would like to thank our members of staff for their consistent interest and guidance throughout the year. My sincere thanks go to Helen Robinson for her valuable assistance as ViceHouse Captain; thanks are also due to our three Forum representatives, Carol McCabe, Helen MacGowan and Nancy Gray, and to the other senior girls for their help and co-operation throughout the year. I wish to remind all Ardens girls who are returning to school that it is up to every one of them to maintain Ardens' standards. Finally, to those girls who are leaving we extend our best wishes and hope that every Ardens girl, wherever she may be, will remember her motto, " Seek Wisdom." Gillian Weeks.

HARRIS " Not failure but low aim is crime." Although this year has not been particularly successful, I feel all Harris members have kept their motto before them. However, there have been a few who have not, and because of this, the classroom results have not been good. First term was a busy one, with the swimming and athletic sports. Harris was very ably and enthusiastically represented in both these sports, but, unfortunately, they did not prove to be among our strong points. We congratulate Lawson for retaining the Edna Miller Shield for swimming and Roslyn for winning the Margaret Shannon Memorial Cup. Second term proved to be more successful for Harris. We were fortunate to retain the Ruth McMillan Shield for hockey, and I would like to thank all those girls who played so enthusiastically for their House. Owing to the October tests being early this term, the tennis and baseball matches have not yet been played. We are grateful to the staff for the interest they have shown in House affairs, and I would also like to thank our Vice-Captain, Winsome Howell, and all the girls in the House who have so willingly supported and co-operated in all our activities during the year. To those girls who are leaving we wish you all the best of luck for the future, and to those who are returning " Not failure but low aim is crime." Good luck, Harris ! Janet Gorrie. LAWSON " To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." 1961 has not been a year of outstanding success for Lawson, yet I feel that the enthusiasm of many of the House members will reward them in the years to come. We have many good sports-

THE LUCERNIAN women amongst us, but we have to rely on every girl to do her best. I want to remind all girls in Lawson, particularly the passive members, in all things " to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." Both the Swimming Sports and the Athletic Sports were held during first term. We congratulate Roslyn on winning the Athletic Sports and Lawson on winning the swimming. We would also like to congratulate the champions on their excellent performances, and especially our own representatives, Alison Hastie (Intermediate athletics runnerup), Heather Smith (Sub-Junior athletics champion), A. Greville ( Junior athletics runner-up), Dianne Batten (Senior swimming champion), Susan Schofield (runner-up), J. Doak (Intermediate swimming champion), Susan Hocking ( Junior swimming champion), and Heather McIntyre ( Junior runner-up). The basketball and hockey matches were played during second term, and we extend our congratulations to Harris for winning the hockey and Lawson and Roslyn on tying for the basketball. The results of the tennis and baseball are still unknown. We congratulate Ardens on their high standard in work and sport this year. I would like to thank the members of the staff for their interest and guidance throughout the year, the senior girls, and especially our prefect, Margaret Hastie, who has done much for the House this year. In particular, I want to thank Alison Laird, our Vice-Captain, for her loyal support throughout the year. Our best wishes go to every member, whether she is leaving school this year or returning. May all Lawson girls remember their motto. Jennifer Dale.

ROSLYN " We are judged by our deeds." Greater enthusiasm has been shown by Roslyn girls this year, and our results have been most rewarding. The first major event was the Swimming Sports, and although we did not do par-

15

ticularly well, we were by no means disgraced. Our congratulations go to the victors, Lawson House, and also to the various champions. After many weeks of strenuous training, the Athletic Sports were held on May 6th, with Roslyn winning by a narrow margin from Ardens. Roslyn also won the House marching. We congratulate our own House members, Margaret McLean, Robyn Johnstone and Heather McCowan, who were Senior, Intermediate and Junior champions, respectively, and Janette Thompson, Sub-Junior runnerup. The co-operation of every girl was an important factor in our success, and the help that the senior girls gave so willingly was greatly appreciated. During second term House matches were played in hockey and basketball. Harris won the Hockey Shield, while Roslyn and Lawson tied for the Basketball Shield. Baseball and tennis matches have yet to be played. This year we continued our efforts in providing produce for the Food for Peace Shop, and the amount of food received has been most pleasing. The debits and credits lists have not been at all satisfactory so far, yet the standard of the girls' work in class is quite high. It is the careless attitude of some girls which continually hampers our success in the classroom. As the year draws to a close, we leave behind a happy one. I hope that next year will be one in which each girl upholds our motto and co-operates with as much enthusiasm as each one has this year. On behalf of all Roslyn girls I would like to than our Vice-Captain, Jennifer Higgins, for her suggestions and help. Jennifer has staunchly supported all our activities, and on many occasions has very capably taken over the responsibility of the House. Our thanks also go to the Forum Representatives and senior girls for their help. To those who are leaving we wish you every success in the future, and urge you to remember our motto ; for those returning, a happy, and successful year in 1962. Nea Stewart.

OLYMPIC DIARY Morongo Athletics This year a new event was added to the sports, held on Saturday, 6th May. This was the long jump. Many budding athletes were seen training spasmodically in the newlyacquired spikes before the great day. When the sixth of May finally arrived, the spikes were an advantage, because of the damp, heavy oval, caused by a sudden downpour the night before. Keen competition resulted in Roslyn House winning the sports ; Ardens House was second, Lawson third and Harris fourth. Champions were : Sub-Junior, Heather Smith, of Lawson; Junior, Heather McCowan, of Roslyn ; Intermediate, Robyn Johnstone, of Roslyn ; Senior, Margaret C. McLean, of Roslyn. Thanks go to Miss Ferguson, Miss Ockleston and all members of staff who assisted in making the sports run smoothly. Margaret C. McLean.

On March 18th thirteen girls from the School successfully competed in the Geelong and District All Schools' Swimming Championships, held at Eastern Beach. Morongo excelled themselves by gaining the most points, so winning the Batten Aggregate Shield for girls. Popular life-saving classes this year were held in third term. We would all like to thank Miss Ferguson and Miss Ockleston for their help and guidance to us all during the season. Dianne Batten. BASKETBALL REPORT

This year basketball players have been most enthusiastic. We congratulate these girls on being in the first senior team : Elizabeth McCann, Margaret Hair, Gillian Weeks, Daiga Vitins, Jennifer Dale, Margaret Hastie, Margaret C. McLean. After much practising we began our Association matches. We were successful in winning all our matches but one. It was against P.L.C., and some very disappointed girls returned home. Our new basketball court has quickened interest and improved the play considerably. We played many social matches against Ruyton Grammar School, Matthew Flinders, Sacred Heart Convent and Clonard Convent.

The House hockey matches were played with much enthusiasm, and we congratulate Harris on retaining the Ruth McMillan Shield for hockey. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Miss Ferguson for her help in coaching us, and also to our vice-captain for her support.

On Friday, 5th May, forty members of the boarders' choir and the violin trio attended an informal evening of music at the House of Music, Geelong College. Both choirs sang several songs, and then joined to sing " The Gipsy Chorus " and " And the Glory of the Lord," under the direction of Mr. Martin.

Also, a selected group sang " Never the weather-beaten sail " and Keith Birdsey played " Where'er You Walk " on the clarinet—the pianist, unfortunately, missed the bus. On Saturday, 29th July, our guest was Mrs. Gray, who gave us a very interesting account of her trip overseas, with special reference to music. The Inter-House Music Competitions were held on Sunday, 20th August, and Mr. Martin adjudicated.

LIBRARY REPORT This year has been an extremely interesting one for the Library Committee, as we have had the pleasure of buying over three hundred new senior and junior fiction books for the Library. We would like to thank the Council for their very generous help in making it possible for us to buy so many new books. The reference section has also been

greatly increased this year. With many helpful suggestions from the staff, we bought 85 Penguin books and covered them with hard covers. The books filled considerable gaps in the reference section, covering such subjects as Literature, History, Geography, Science, Music and Art, Political Science, Religion and Dictionaries. On Saturday, 6th May, Mrs. Cowperthwaite and the Committee attended the Combined Public Schools' Library Meeting at the Geelong College Preparatory School. Speakers from the Hermitage, Geelong Grammar School, Geelong College and Morongo spoke on library organisation, range covered by stock, work of the library committee, publicity for the library, and what the library means to the school. The discussion which followed these speeches was very helpful, as it revealed many ways in which to make the library run more smoothly. Another major task of the Committee has been the preparation of files of newspaper cuttings on General Science, Maths., French and Latin, English History, Biology, Geography, Art and Music, and Current Affairs. It will be several years before these files are complete, but we have found they are useful to girls who want material for projects and essays. This year, Miss Howard has allowed us to keep the Art books in the Library and they have been used by many girls other than Art students. In the fiction sections, we decided to classify the books under such subjects as Adventure, Historical, Romance, Detective, Humorous, and Australian Novels, and two sections for modern authors and biographies. We hope this arrangement will be easier for girls choosing books. , People have been extremely generous with donations this year, and we would like to thank Mr. Bell, Mr. Moreton and the Myer Emporium for their cheques. Form VA presented the Library with " The Oxford Companion to Music " and " The junior Companion to Music," and other donors to whom we owe thanks are : Mrs. Wilson, Miss MacDonald, Miss

THE LUCERNIAN Leigh, Miss Evans, Alison McIntosh, Marilyn Brown, Sandy Purnell, Mrs. Street (for a year's subscription for " Time " magazine), and the A.N.Z. Bank for " Climatology," by A. Austin Miller. We would also like to thank Miss Henderson for the set of Junior Encyclopaedias ; Miss Leigh and Miss Mitchell, for ordering the books for us ; and all members of staff, who have helped us to choose reference books. Finally, we thank Mrs. Cowperthwaite for her help and advice to the Committee throughout the year. Judith Fletcher.

ANNUAL P.F.A. REPORT This year has been an interesting and varied one in our P.F.A. The committee has tried to organise activities in which all girls may participate. The following office-bearers were elected for 1961:— President, Helen Robinson ; Vice-President, Diana Street ; Secretary, Alison McIntosh ; Treasurer, Jennifer Dale ; Committee, Judith Fletcher, Nancy Gray, Winsome Howell, Helen Jesse, Janice McDonald, Alison Sloman. We decided to have one major Bible Study a term, on a Sunday evening after prayers. Our topics were : " What Is Man ? " " The Lord's Prayer " and " Forgiveness." We divided into approximately six groups, each being led by a committee member or office-bearer. As usual, we sent in a large box for the Service Exhibition, and at Miss Shaw's suggestion we sent it to the Geelong Exhibition, where we gained several firsts and one second prize. These results were encouraging, but we hope that next year the girls will pay more attention to small details of neatness. In the second term most of the members each made a small contribution towards a mission box, which was sent to the New Hebrides. After the second term examinations, many girls knitted squares for a rug which we hope to send to the New Hebrides at Christmas. Earlier in the year several of the officebearers attended with Miss Shaw a talk given by Dr. McLeod in aid of the Iona

23

Appeal Trust. Dr. McLeod spoke fluently and interestingly on the history and work of the Iona Abbey. A week-end extending from 7th to 9th July was attended by thirty-four girls. This camp was held in conjunction with the P.L.C. and P.F.A. It proved to be a most enjoyable and profitable time. Our thanks go to Miss Mawhinney, the various other leaders who helped us so much, and to the P.L.C. girls themselves. On Sunday, 17th September, some members of the Geelong Executive Council visited us, and after afternoon tea, we conducted the service, after which the Council continued with the meeting. Towards the end of third term we hope to have a badge presentation ceremony, at which the Rev. Mr. McLean will present sixty of our members with their badges. A new idea was adopted during the September vacation, whereby one of our members invited an Asian student to spend the holidays with her. Our thanks go to Kaye Costin for so willingly being the " guinea pig." We feel that, even though this is only a small step, we are doing some good towards founding friendly relations with our Asian neighbours, and we hope this service will be continued in the ensuing years. Another way in which we can broaden our knowledge of these people is by the establishing of pen-friends, although so far this has only been done in the New Hebrides. The girls concerned have found it helpful. The worship convenors in Melbourne suggested that, where possible, P.F.A. groups should obtain blank tape-recordings and send them to our missionaries in the New Hebrides. These missionaries are willing to fill the blank reels with details of their work there, and also some idea of the character and life of the inhabitants of the islands. We hope to receive this tape later this year or early next year. Among our regular meetings we have conducted impromptu questioning on various subjects, and some short talks have been given by different girls. Miss Olding has kindly shown us slides of

24

THE LUCERNIAN

India and has spoken to us very ably about the many countries in which she has taught. Also, slides were shown on the work done by the officers of our Melbourne Branch, and the method in which Service Fund money is used. Finally, we thank Miss Shaw for her assistance throughout the year, and to next year's P.F.A. we wish the best of luck, and we hope they will keep the ideals and aims of the P.F.A. flourishing in the School. H.R., A.McI. ART AND CRAFT This year has been a most successful one, and the lower school, with the help of Miss Blake, Miss Steere and Miss Sawatzky, has produced some very fine raffia baskets, lamp shades, table mats, etc. With Miss Howard's help, the Craft girls are busy making belts, scarves and one or two bright skirt lengths. In the Art Room activities have been many and varied. Miss Sawatzky has been conducting extra classes in pottery, sculpturing in clay, lino-cuts, silk screening and for the seniors techniques of oil painting. I would again like to thank Miss Howard, Miss Sawatzky and Mrs. Holder for their help, especially to Miss Sawatzky for her extra classes after school and Miss Howard for arranging our Art excursion to the Gallery, etc. I would also like to thank Mr. Laird for giving us an extremely interesting lecture of modern architecture and design. B.M. DRESSMAKING REPORT For the past year our dressmaking classes have been supervised by Miss Blake. A number of girls are doing dressmaking as a subject for their Intermediate and Leaving Certificates. Hobbies Day was held on November 10th, and this year the mannequin parade took place in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. Among the garments being modelled were many interesting designs in lin-

gerie, sports wear, afternoon frocks and evening wear, long frocks being a dominating feature. The dressmaking rooms also added an attractive display of many more garments, which time prevented us from being able to model in the parade. Our work was examined early in November, and we were all glad to hear that both Miss Blake and the inspector were pleased with the good results. On behalf of the dressmaking students I would like to thank Miss Blake for her kind help and guidance throughout the year, and assure her that we have greatly appreciated all she has done for us. Marion Lewis. CANTEEN REPORT As usual, the Canteen has been a popular centre for both boarders and daygirls. It was opened each recess and lunch-time during the week, when soft drinks and ice-creams were sold to all by senior girls from the four houses. Once again, the day-girls have been able to buy bread rolls and cream buns for their lunches throughout the year. In second term hot pies for lunches and soup at recess time were also available. Prefects and deputy prefects have continued to take lunch trays to form rooms. For the benefit of the boarders the Canteen was opened on Tuesdays after school and on Saturday afternoons, when, as well as ice-creams and soft drinks, they were able to buy sweets and fresh fruit. Our thanks go to senior boarders who have helped by serving at the Canteen. As in previous years, Miss Leigh has been most helpful in organising the supply of goods, and we are grateful to her for this. Yvonne McLarty, Helen Robinson. SOCIAL SERVICE REPORT This year our Social Service activities started with a collection of stockings for the Junior Red Cross and bottle-tops and stamps for the women of the Uni-

THE LUCERNIAN versity for the " Save the Children Fund." During the year we have been able to send several supplies to these organisations, owing to the help given by the girls. Also, as usual, each form has held a fete during the year, and various competitions were run to provide generous donations for Social Service work. During second term we started sending food each week into the " Food fov Peace " Campaign Shop, and although enthusiasm slackened a little towards the end of the term we were still able to send food to the shop each week. This year there was a request for books in order to raise funds for St. Hilda's College, and it was well supported, with over 400 books donated to the cause. Also, we were able to support the " door-to-door " Heart Campaign with i10, and two guineas for the United Nations' Fund. In third term Margot Hallam and several Sub-Intermediate students attended the opening of the Community Chest Appeal. I should like to thank Miss Evans for her work and interest in all Social Service activities, and also all the girls who have co-operated throughout the year to make all the activities successful. Alison Laird.

HOSPITAL REPORT This year has been a fairly quiet one for the hospital. Very few epidemics have broken out, with the exception of the usual " Mondayitis " and " exam. phobia." We were very sorry to lose Sister Thorne owing to illness during second term, but were very glad to welcome Sister Nilson, who took her place at the beginning of third term. We would like to thank Miss Shaw, Miss Jacka and Mrs. Taylor for their untiring help throughout the year. J.W. THE SCHOOL DANCE, 1961 The School Dance was held this year on the first Saturday of second term, on

25

June 4th. There were over two hundred people present, including ninety senior girls from Morongo, and our guests, the prefects from the Hermitage and the prefects and boys from Geelong College and Geelong Grammar School. The official party consisted of Miss Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. P. N. Thwaites, Miss Sutherland, Miss Ohlson, Miss Jacka, and the Rev. and Mrs. A. D. Hallam. The Gertrude Pratt Hall was decorated with red and white balloons and greenery placed in large bowls around the hall. The Founders' Dining Hall, where supper was served, was decorated with balloons in the School colours around the walls, with floral decorations and candles on the tables. An important feature of the dance was the programmes, which were given to everyone present. These had not been used at a Morongo School Dance for some time, but proved extremely popular and successful. The success of the dance was due to the kind efforts of Miss Jacka and the co-operation of the senior girls and prefects. I would like to thank all these people for their willing assistance, and I hope that next year's School Dance will be equally successful. Margot Hallam.

UNIVERSITY OPEN DAY On Saturday, July 2 the University of Melbqurne held its open, day and many of our senior Biology and Science students attended, especially to see the Science displays, which were a feature of the day. They included Pathology, Physiology, Zoology, Physics and Chemistry displays. Wilson Hall was open to the public, and the Chancellor of the University welcomed any future students who were present. The Ballieu Library and Beaurepaire Sports Centre were also open for inspection. Students attending the Conservatorium gave several recitals during the afternoon. H. Jesse.

THE LUCERNIAN

CONFERENCE AT BARWON HEADS During the week-end of April 21st23rd a conference was arranged at "Aalunga " Guest House, Barwon Heads, for twenty senior girls from Morongo and twenty Geelong College senior boys. The theme of the conference was r " Boy-Girl Relationships," and under the experienced leadership of the Rev. Colin Thompson, of the Department of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church, activities included films, group discussions, question periods, a lecture and Bible study. Additional time was found for recreations, including folk-dancing, games, and a beach

hike. The week-end was characterised by its happy and relaxed atmosphere, and we returned to Geelong rather tired but grateful for the opportunity of receiving such beneficial instruction. The conference was also attended by Miss Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. Thwaites, and Mr. Ewan McLean, the Geelong College Chaplain, and we are very grateful to them for making the week-end possible. Our thanks go to Mr. Thompson for his invaluable help and guidance, and it is to be hoped that similar conferences will be held in the future to assist other students. Janette Pettitt.

SPEECH \TIGHT, 1960 The Annual Speech Night was held at the Palais Royal on December 7th. Dr. A. Milne, Principal of University Women's College, was our guest speaker. Miss Shaw gave an account of the activities and achievements of the School throughout the year. Dr. Milne presented the prizes and Miss Gillett, the President of the Old Collegians' Association presented the sports trophies. The girls of the School sang a bracket of songs and our Singing Mistress, Miss Brown, conducted the Choir, who sang a bracket of Christmas carols. Joy Wills.

"A woman's an artesian bore," Growled Mesophyll, " and, what is more, Je ne les aime pas (Present Tense), They haven't any common sense." " Bonnie Prince Charlie," cried the Scots, " In a Roman churchyard rots." " Ha! nitrites, nitrates, all for us ! New protoplasm," muttered grass. Southdown sheep are grown for meat— Sow in spring and keep rows neat. Jethro Tull knows what to do. " Bile ! " yells the liver, " that's the clue ! Breaks down the fats to droplets wee," The " Covenant's " been wrecked, we see, Which Davie thinks is far from beaut, That's Ablatively Absolute. Shrieks Heart, " Where is my P.U.C. ? " "Ask the Auricle, don't ask me ! " Quickly, James, gird up your loin, This is the Battle of the Boyne. The cannon bursts around as, Boom ! The stars are spinning round the room. Alas ! my back ! my aching head ! I fear I've fallen out of bed. Susan Bickford (15 years). TRIP TO BROKEN HILL On Sunday, 27th August, Miss Ohlson and twelve girls — Felice Dougall, Heather Gray, Helen Lang, Sandra Bufton, Alison Forbes, Leslie Malin, Margery Stuckey, Marilyn Brown, Jenny Higgins, Alison Laird, Yvonne McLarty and Helen Robinson — left Melbourne on the " Spirit " for Albury. We left at 6.30 and arrived in Albury at about 10.30, where we stayed the night at Lancaster Lodge, most of us having a good night's rest and breakfast ready for a long bus journey. We managed to leave Albury on the 8 o'clock Murray Valley bus, with all our belongings, although no-one looked very bright. We travelled through much irrigated country, with sheep, fat lambs,

fruit and vegetables, and as we went west, more citrus fruits and vineyards. This was of great interest to many of the Geography students, especially Matriculation, as the Murray Valley is one of the set areas. After having lunch at Echuca, we continued our long journey, and then, at Swan Hill, Jill Dohnt joined our trip. The bus reached Mildura at 8 p.m., and after 12 hours in the bus we were only too glad after a quick snack to go to bed in " The Grand." We were back in the bus by 9 a.m. on the final step of our journey. The country continued to get drier as we travelled north, and after a short stop at Coombah we drove until reaching Broken Hill in time for lunch at the " Grand Private Hotel." After a short time to refresh ourselves we went on a tour of Broken Hill to see the layout of the town, which, to the surprise of most, has a population of 35,000. On Wednesday, Miss Ohlson introduced us to Mr. Jack, in charge of West Darling Tours," who was going to look after us for the next four days. Then we started a more detailed inspection of Broken Hill, visiting the Water Works, a " diamond drill " mine, the new hospital, " School of the Air," and various views of the city. In the afternoon Mr. Jack took us around the Electrolytic Zinc Corporation, which was spaciously set out with beautiful gardens and lakes, and then to Steven's Creek, once the only water supply for Broken Hill. For Wednesday night, Mr. Jack had arranged a social evening with the boys from the Y.M.C.A., which, I am sure, was appreciated by all concerned. The next day was spent on a day trip to Mootwingee, a reserve which contains many old aboriginal rock paintings and curious rock formations. For lunch we tried our hands at grilled chops and sausages, cooked over a well-prepared fire. That night we went to the pictures to see " Polyanna."

THE LUCERNIAN On Friday we made a trip to the west of Broken Hill, crossing the South Australian Border into Cockburn, and returning via Thackaringa. During this trip we visited one of the richest mines in the district of felspar, beryllium and mica. Then we went on in the afternoon to Silverton, an old ghost town, 16 miles west of Broken Hill, and Umberumberka Dam, which also supplies water for the city, and which is situated in the Barrier Ranges. As on all these trips, we saw many kangaroos, wallabies and emus, and the miles of saltbush seemed to pass quickly with the singing in the bus. The trip to the Menindie Lakes and the Darling River meant a swim for everyone and pneumonia for most. However, the day was most enlightening for we saw many of the various schemes in this area for water conservation. Returning the invitation of the previous dance, the boys of the football team invited us to attend another dance. However, while some enjoyed this frolic, others participated in a more relaxing pleasure, that of a passing concert, the stars of which happened to be staying in the same hotel. Sunday was the last day, with Church in the morning and a trip to the Wankeroo Hills in the afternoon to look at the wildflowers. We returned early to pack up our acquired luggage, and had a good night's rest for a visit the next morning (before breakfast) to the Flying Doctor Base. Then, after having finished clearing and packing, we caught the taxis to the airport and flew to Melbourne in time for tea. On behalf of all the other girls who enjoyed the trip, I should like to thank Miss Ohlson for making it possible and putting up with us even in the holidays. Alison Laird.

DAVID AND GOLIATH (Inspired by " The Daniel Jazz ? ") Goliath was a giant and a fightin' soldier, too.

35

He'd iust make mincemeat of li'l ol' me or you. He had a suit of armour that was shiny as a bell, But he was a Philistine, who'd sold his soul to Hell. David was a shepherd boy who watched his father's sheep. If he saw a lion, upon it he would leap, And with his arms around its neck to strangle it he'd try. Lucky was the sly old wolf that managed to slip by ! The Philistines came out to fight against the Israelites. The Israelites were hoppin' mad and fightin' for their rights, But they didn't have a soldier man with shoulders half so broad As the Philistines' Goliath, who'd got 'em all quite awed. Goliath told the Israelites (he told 'em as a dare) He bet there wasn't an Israelite who'd fight him then and there. So ol' King Saul, he shouted out, " Who's gonna volunteer ? " An' David shouted, " Me ! I will ! " while others shook with fear. Goliath started laughin'. He laughed so long and loud He didn't notice David, who was by no means cowed. An' Dtvid took a hefty stone and hurled it with a yell ; It hit Goliath on the head, and with a thud, he fell. Then the Israelites went crazy, and the Philistines they fled, While David took Goliath's sword, and chopped him off his head. The moral of this tale is : though your fists be big and hard, A smaller man can beat you, if he gets you off your guard. Jane Benson (17 years).

THE LUCERNIAN SIESTA There is quiet everywhere, Not a sound disturbs the air, What an eerie stillness broods Over plains, and over woods. Every creature here is still, Keeping where the shadows fill Each mound and every bower, Drowsing in the noontide hour. Even busy ants are found Resting, in their sandy mound. Over hills and over plains, Quiet, vast and slumbrous, reigns Yet there is a drowsy humming, From the yellow wattle coming, Yes, it is the bumble bee, Gathering nectar busily. Nov, two beetles drone in flight, Rising with the beams of light, Rising in the sunshine higher, 'Till their wings shine out like fire. Oh, it's easy here to lie, Hidden, from Noon's scorching eye, In this grassy cool recess, Thinking, now of quietness.

The sun beats down on the mountainside And the glare soon hurts his eyes. He thinks not of the risks he takes As he starts a run again. He has the skill, he loves the sport, And, most of all, he's game. Diana Street (17 years).

A CONVICT COMPOUND Lonely and desolate the men who come, They have no friends, they have no name. Here they planted the English trees, To remind them of loves across the seas. Here it's so wet that the lichen hangs Like the moulded remains of a mammoth's fangs ; Here the cold creeps in at the door— It is the master, it obeys no law. Here they came, worked, lived and died, 'Till the forest was left alone to abide, For here the kookaburra and kingfisher call And the silent leaves from the hawthorn fall. Truda Howard (16 years).

THE SKIER The hiss and swish of skis on snow, The spray's flung as he turns, Paralleling down the slope, The thrill is all he earns. With sunburnt face and cheeks a-glow, He glides on down the mountain. The beginners all watch enviously, He looks controlled and certain. A shiiss, and then he's down again, In the tee-bar queue he waits, And soon he's riding up the spire, Yarning to one of his mates. At the top he looks at the wondrous view Of mountain, snow, and skies,

DAWN The appearance of a brilliant ball of fire on the horizon, Surrounded by dazzling hues of red and gold, Reminds one of a poppy bud bursting into bloom And nodding its pretty head—the sun has risen !

THE LUCERNIAN MY GOLDEN QUEEN Bright golden branches spreading 'neath a sky So blue and clear. Soft feath'ry leaves of green, Thou art my wattle tree, my Golden Queen. I worship thee as in thy shade I lie. Whene'er thy beauteous blossoms I behold, I mind sweet Spring, that mystic maid of dreams, Who weaves her magic spells of shy sunbeams To paint the pastures green—and thy boughs gold. Thou art my only comfort, lovely tree, When feeling tired or sad or lonely, I Remember that where mountain masses lie And silver streamlet sings, I still have thee. Bright splash of colour gleaming through the green, Be mine for ever gracious, Golden Queen. Robin Wesley (14 years).

BLACK KOOREE In the inland of Australia There is a story told Of how a leader-brumby Was caught, and almost sold.

This brumby's name was Black Kooree, The son of great Blue Streak, He roamed the plains without a fear Until the mustering week. Kooree saw the rising dust, He heard the galloping hooves, On whinnying once to his scattered mares, He quickly started the move. While rounding up one straying colt, A whistling rope he heard, And something tightened round his neck As about he lunged and turned. That night, alone, in the cattle-yards, He heard the dingoes call, And saw the mountain ranges dim, As he tested the high-railed wall. Then racing round, with a whinny shrill, He, backwards, paced the yard, Then flying with a mighty leap, He landed safe upon the grass. Then back he galloped to his herd, Across the plains so wide, And the stockmen heard them thunder by As the brumby led the drive. Patricia Read (13 years).

THE SEASONS June, July and August Bring Winter to us all, When gardens lose their Autumn tints And leaves begin to fall. September comes and Spring is here, The buds start breaking through, The trees and shrubs awaken To glisten in the dew. Very soon it will be Summer, With warm and sunny days, When all the world looks at its best— What a great part Nature plays ! Margaret Reeves (12 years).

THE SAFETY RULE Riding a bike is fun, it's true, But there's something you mustn't do : One-handed riding is not full control, And you'll crash if your bike hits a pit or a hole. Don't try to beat the traffic lights, For it is easily seen, What trouble comes to thoughtless lads Who cross before the green. When you are going walking, To school or to the shops, Remember when you're crossing roads The Golden Rule is tops ! When you are on your way to school, Observe the safety code, Look right, look left, look right again, Then walk across the road. When you cross a busy street, Be sure to do it right, And cross the road at the crossings, With the flashing yellow light. And when it comes to safety, It's better not to stray, Enjoy yourself in parks, as they Are the safest place to play. Janet Adams (11 years).

THE FAIRY'S HOUSE While walking down along the brook I suddenly had to stoop, and look At a small and neat green fairy's house, Just big enough for a tiny mouse. I peeped through the window and there on the mat Was the fairy's black and ginger cat. I looked at the wall, and on the shelf Was the fairy's mug and platter of Delft. I looked at the stove, and in a pot Were potatoes and carrots (quite a lot). I peeped through a crack in the little white door, Her magic wand was on the floor. Then suddenly the fairy came home (I spied on her from behind a stone). She went inside and closed the door, And I never saw her house any more. Gillian Menzies (10 years).

BEYOND THE HORIZON Men of many professions have tried to force their way into the future and solve the mysteries of why we do and feel things which are really so trivial yet seem great, and what our future is after death. Is God really leading us ? What is God ? Is there a Hell to which we could go ? What is Heaven like ? These are common questions pondered on by almost every person at some time of their life. Some may have found the truth yet never known it ; others invariably try to prove they are right, but something always disproves the theory. Mine is only another unproved theory, and will probably remain so. There must be a God, because too many things have happened to me in which I have been led by something unknown, yet something which can see my future course. I don't believe this God to be a King sitting sedately on a throne in the clouds, surrounded by a host of beautiful angels, waiting on Him, or that a little bit of Him is present in every living thing. God, to me, is a circle of matter which surrounds the whole universe and controls it. The composition of this matter is very intricate, and it acts through a force which draws us. The matter is like a magnet, so each creature is supplied with something which can be attracted by the magnet ; this is their soul. This matter and its force, which we call God, leads us along the path of life, pulls us away from dangers and draws us into happiness. If this was so, however, there should be no evil or death until the required time ; but as a nail can be drawn away from the force of a magnet, so can we, by using our brain, draw ourselves away from the pull of this matter. Once the path is left, evil commences, because we are no longer under God's guidance. Like the nail, which can be drawn back into the pill of the magnet, we, too, can reform and be drawn back to the right path.

PORT SAID

"A present for you," he said, giving me a beaming smile, all his annoyance forgotten, as his hands closed on the sterling notes!

It was a very hot and sultry day when we anchored off Port Said to wait for a convoy to take us through the Suez Canal. We did not go ashore, as we had been warned that we would be pestered by beggars. As we sat on the deck under the beating sun we noticed small dark specks on the horizon, coming nearer, until they were distinguishable as rowing boats. These were the " Gulli Gulli men," who had come to sell their wares to us. In their boats below were pouffes of all kinds, gaily coloured rugs, carved and padded camels on rockers, shoes, suitcases, jewellery, inlaid tables and boxes, and almost everything that you could conceive. As the Arabs drew near to our ship they called up to us in very good English : " Will you do business with us ? " They would hold up their wares, and when you bought anything it was sent up in a basket on a strong rope. Soon, however, they came aboard, and set up their stalls on the decks. It was great fun to walk round looking at everything laid out on the deck. One man was selling cut stones, and to prove that they were real and not glass, he placed one on the floor and stamped on it. He did this for us with a small white sapphire : after placing it on the deck, he put a coin on top and stamped

We were looking at some leather suitcases, when an Arab came up to us and told us the price. " Too much," my father replied, and began to walk away, but the Arab prevented him, and after some considerable bargaining, the Arab, apparently in great disgust, decided to sell the suitcases at the price my father had offered. After my father paid him, he turned to me, to my amusement, and handed me a lovely small kid camel.

What surprised us was the trust they placed in the English if you told them that you had no money, they would exclaim, " That's all right ; you take it and send me the money you get home. We trust you, for the English have been our friends for a hundred years " (we were always mistaken for being English). This shows that although those in political command do not like the English, the poor people still regard us as their friends. Finally, the time came for the Arabs to leave. Smiling and waving good-bye, their white teeth flashing in their brown faces, they climbed down the rope ladder to their small rowing boats. When night fell, dozens of lighted boats sailed by our ship where it lay at anchor. It was a beautiful sight ; one large barge in particular I remember, because the lights were so placed that it looked like a fairy castle sailing across the dark water. Out of the night came the sound of music, while people sang and children clapped. For this was the anniversary of the dismissal of ex-King Farouk and the establishment of the present regime under Colonel Nasser, and it was being celebrated with a gala. S. Stuart.

THE LUCERNIAN CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

It is eight years since 1 said good-bye to the square, stocky, bearded man leaning rather forlornly on the rickety old gate at the end of the garden. Yet, his image is still perfectly clear. Tom O'Halloran, my grandfather's gardener, remains in my memory unchangeably real and solid. I seem to have spent many of my childhood days watching Tom toiling in the garden. He would spit into the palm of each hand, and with a good grip, drive the blade of the shovel down deep into the earth. Like many men, Tom was very proud of his muscles. " Let me get ma stren'th onto it," he would say, while I stood gazing up at him admiringly. He had bright, black eyes, which gleamed through his whiskery face, and a red snub nose. Occasionally I had the honour of helping with such tasks as raking up leaves or weeding my grandmother's pansies. In the afternoon, at four o'clock, he and I would share his afternoon tea, usually consisting of banana sandwiches, while he told me some interesting stories of his youth. At a quarter-past four I would stand on the gate, and wave to him as he went home on the tram. I am sure I shall never forget my good old friend, Tom O'Halloran, as long as I live. Michele Payne (14 years). MY FIRST GUIDE CAMP After exciting packing, and sewing on name tapes, I was ready to set off on the journey to the Guide camp at Mogg's Creek. I stood on the steps waiting, in uniform, for the man who was taking me down. When the car started, I waved happily to Mother, promising to write.

The journey was a pleasant one on the Great Ocean Road, past Anglesea through Airey's Inlet, and at last to Moggs' Creek. We turned off on a road which had a signpost, " To Tallawala Guide Camp." After going up this road, we arrived at the camp site. At first, I felt a little strange, as I only knew the girls from our company, but I soon got over this, and found that I was rapidly getting to know people. We quickly changed into working clothes, so we could pitch the tents. This I hardly knew anything about, but we got help from older girls. After having lunch, and when all the tents were pitched, we took our luggage to our tents. My tent-mates were Ann Lucas, Heather Rambling and Faye Lofts. Then we made our beds for the night, putting the ground-sheets down first and then putting the blankets and sleepingbags on top of them. Before we went to bed we had supper, which was cocoa and biscuits. Then, when we were in bed, Captain came round with her first-aid kit to see that everyone was all right. Next morning we were up about halfpast seven. We were wood and water patrol that day, so we had to collect wood for the fire and water in buckets, from the tanks, for cooking. At ten o'clock we had morning tea, which was cordial and biscuits, and also afternoon tea at about four o'clock, as well as breakfast, lunch and tea, also supper, each day. We went for two hikes into the bush, and while on one of these I passed firemaking and cooking for my second-class test. We also went for hikes to the beach, one time at night. At the camp-fires at night quite a few of the songs I did not know, but I soon learnt quite a lot. While at camp Captain sprained her arm very badly, and had to go to Lorne Hospital to have it put in plaster.

sand adding-up sums, but as we all had adding machines at home, it was not going to take long.

On the journey back home, I was thinking how most certainly I would go on another Guide Camp.

My car collected me from the school bus and took me into the kitchen, where the robot gave me milk and biscuits and cleaned up after me. In my bedroom my " hands " selected some play-clothes, dressed me and hung up my school uniform, after which I did my homework. My " hands " then packed my satchel for the next day, and after I had watched our coloured television on a set a yard square, I was again undressed and put into pyjamas. Having kissed my family good-night, I went back to my room, where my " hands " tucked me into bed.

Janine Carew (Remove I) (11 years) A TYPICAL DAY IN 2,000 My mother called me through the speaker connecting all the rooms in our home. My bedroom speaker was placed under my pillow, and when I heard my mother's sweet voice, I promptly woke up. " It's time to get up for school," she announced. Although I was very tired, I pressed a button beside my bed and a little cablecar turned round the corner into my room on a track. I climbed into it and was taken to the bathroom. Then I pressed another button and the car stopped right before the wash-basin. Water appeared at the touch of a lever, and having splashed water on my face, I took my tooth-brush and, on pressing a tiny button, toothpaste emerged from behind the bristles. I then brushed my teeth vigorously, and returned by car to my bedroom. Here, mechanical hands just beside the mirror in the wall, dressed me, made my bed and combed my hair. My car then carried me to the kitchen, where I enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by my mother's kitchen robot. I was made ready for school, and then taken out to the bus stop. I got out of my car, pressed a button on its instrument panel, and saw it depart for home. Soon the school bus arrived—a road vehicle with a glass-domed roof. I sat on one of the foam-rubber seats and turned a knob at the side to adjust the seat for my comfort. On arrival at school we were shown a film of life on Saturn by a robot teacher, who used its X-ray vision as a projector. Our homework for that day was a thou-

Joanne Froebel (12 years). A VISIT TO FAIRYLAND Melinda sighed. It had been a long day, and she was very tired. She was six years old, but did not go to school. At that time only rich people's children went to school, and, as her parents were not wealthy, she had to work in a factory. In the factory cruel men beat the children if they did not work hard. So Melinda ate her piece of bread and goats' cheese, drank some black tea, and went to bed. In she got and pulled the dirty rags over her. Her fair hair fell in curls down her thin back; her long dress was patched and torn, and her bare feet were blue with cold, for early snow had fallen that afternoon. Suddenly, a tiny voice cried, " Help ! " Melinda jumped up and looked around. Not a sound to be heard except for carriage wheels and horses' hooves. " Imagination," thought Melinda, and she was just going back to bed when " Help ! " came again. This time more distinct than ever. Then suddenly she saw it—a tiny fairy with golden hair. Melinda freed it from the trap, and it flew away after thanking her and promising a reward for freeing her.

44

THE LUCERNIAN

Sure enough, next night a band of fairies came just as Melinda was getting into bed. The leader spoke, thanking Melinda again for freeing the fairy and asking Melinda to come and visit them. Melinda agreed, and off they went. Melinda, by this time, being small enough (by magic) to be carried by one of the fairies. Past huge mountains, gullies, creeks and plains they flew, until suddenly the fairies turned right so suddenly that Melinda nearly fell off. A faint blue light could be seen in the distance, getting smaller every second, until suddenly, through a cave, could be seen Fairyland. In they went, and immediately some fairies flew to greet them. Soon the Fairy Queen sent for her, and gave her a gorgeous meal of raspberry jelly and honeysuckle juice. She then went to bed and slept well. In the morning she got up and dressed in a beautiful dress of pale green. She had breakfast and went out. Fairyland was wide awake, and Melinda walked to and fro among labourers, businessmen and ladies in fine dresses. Little shops were dotted around, and she bought some things. After that she went back to the palace for lunch. A ride in a car with buttercup wheels proved delightful. In the evening a ball was held in her honour. She was very tired when she went to bed, and she went to sleep at once. The next morning was spent in the same way as the previous one. That afternoon Melinda was taken home by some fairies with a magic carpet. She arrived home about eight o'clock at night, and the fairies gave her a parcel and told her not to open it till midnight. At midnight Melinda woke and opened the parcel. Inside was a fairy dress, a lucky charm, which kept her from harm, and some fairy coins. Next morning she woke up and wondered if the visit had been a dream ; but, no ! there was the lucky charm. She slipped it round her neck, and it protected her from harm ever afterwards.

OLD COLLEGIANS' ASSOCIATION Office-Bearers, 1961 President: Marjorie Reeve. Senior Vice-President: Heather Darby. Junior Vice-President: Dorothy Ruxton. Secretary: Jean Rentoul. Assistant Secretary: Muriel Gell. Treasurer: Eathorne Pavia. Assistant Treasurer: Barbara Carr. ANNUAL REPORT This year has passed with amazing speed, and it is once again time to present the Annual Report of the Association. Your committee has been very busy, and has willingly worked in the interests of the School ; the thanks of all members are extended to them. To Audrey Gillett, who has been President for two years, we are indeed grateful, for she has been unstinting in her service, and we thank her for her leadership. Our incoming President is Marjory Reeve, and we assure her of our loyal support during her term of office. REUNION The Reunion, on 19th November, was again held at Morongo, and about 130 girls revisited the School for afternoon tea in the Junior School, the Annual Meeting, in the Gertrude Pratt Hall, and for dinner in the new dining hall (the Founders' Hall), a building of which the School and all associated with Morongo should be justly proud. Our guests included Miss Shaw, Miss Pratt, representatives from P.L.C., The Hermitage and M.L.C., School Staff and prefects. COLAC CHURCH SERVICE On 26th February Miss Shaw, Audrey Gillett and Jean Rentoul attended the Annual Church Service at St. Andrew's, Colac, and it was pleasing to see such a very good attendance of Old Collegians.

SWIMMING SPORTS March 3rd again saw a team of Old Collegians competing against boarders and day girls in the swimming sports ; unfortunately, we did not win. " SUN " TENNIS CUP The Association fielded a team for the " Sun " Cup held on 18th March, and although the girls did not win, they were well up in their section, and thoroughly enjoyed their day. ANNUAL FETE This effort was held on Saturday, 18th March, at the School, and the Association was represented on most stalls. The day was perfect and the scene was one of great activity. Each Association received a cheque for £225. MANNEQUIN PARADE As the result of good organising by an enthusiastic sub-committee, a most successful parade was held in the Gertrude Pratt Hall on 7th April ; the setting was most attractive, with small tables being arranged around the long catwalk. The flowers were beautiful, and the mannequins, all Old Collegians, were excellent. Sincere thanks are due to the management of Bright & Hitchcocks Pty. Ltd. for their splendid co-operation. Our Scholarship fund henefitted to the extent of about 190. " SUN " GOLF CUP Six members played in this competition on 17th April. This year it was held at Metropolitan, and although not successful in winning, the team all enjoyed an excellent day's golf. MELBOURNE REUNION This meeting was held in April at McEwan House, and was very well attended. It was a most enjoyable evening, and Miss Shaw and Miss Pratt were both present. Audrey Gillett and Jean Rentoul represented the Geelong Committee.

THE LUCERNIAN

ANNUAL "AT HOME " Once again, the "At Home " was held in the Palais Royal on 23rd June, and was a great success, although the numbers were down. Mrs. J. R. Darling and Miss Shaw received the ten debutantes, who had been trained by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wilson. COMBINED OLD GIRLS' ASSOCIATION Representing associations from over 30 Old Girls' Associations, this organisation meets twice yearly—April and October—and is an excellent way of getting to know the other schools. The meeting is held at McEwan House, and two representatives from our Association attended. NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN In common with most women's organisations, the Old Collegians have two representatives attending the meetings, June McColl and Dorothy Ruxton. June has been elected to the executive. " FOOD FOR PEACE " Owing to the great difficulty in finding willing members to staff the shop, the Association has had to withdraw from this effort. The committee members are supporting functions associated with the Shop. YOUNGER SET This branch of the Association is having difficulty in keeping the interest of members, but has held a number of successful functions. They are always willing to assist the Senior Branch when called upon to do so. BRANCHES It is always a great incentive to the parent branch to find the interest the branches keep with regard to their old School, and we thank them for their support during this year.

CHARITY FUND Instead of the usual Rummage, the committee decided to have a " Bring a Gift, Buy a Gift " Stall at the Reunion in order that the Association may continue to support worthy causes. IN MEMORIAM It was with deep regret that Old Collegians heard of the death of our beloved School Chairman, Mr. J. N. David. Mr. David had never spared himself in the interest of the School, and his thought for both present and past scholars will be truly missed. He was a very good friend to Morongo, and we extend our sincere sympathy to Mrs. David and Phyllis. GENERALLY During the year the Association has paid for the asphalting of one basketball court, thus enabling it to be converted to a tennis court during the season. Two Mixmasters were given to the Domestic Science Room, and heating is being installed in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. We have also concentrated on building up the Scholarship Fund to enable the scholarship for daughters of Old Collegians to be endowed. Once again there are many we have to thank for assistance given during the year. To Miss Shaw we are once more indebted for her interest and advice. Miss Jacka and her domestic staff are always ready to help us, and we thank them for their work. To Mr. Geoff. Neilson, who so willingly audits the books, we are indeed grateful. Our congratulations are extended to those who have become engaged, have married, or have welcomed little ones to their homes. To those who have been touched by sorrow we offer our sincere sympathy. It was with great concern that we heard of the serious illness of our School Chaplain, Rev. K. MacLean, and it is with a sense of deep gratitude to God that we welcome him back to the School. We trust he will have many years of happy association with Morongo.

THE LUCERNIAN In these days, when the threat of war is ever hanging over the world, Church Schools take on a special significance that sets them apart from non-Church Schools. We, who have been privileged to have passed through Morongo and have the opportunity of sending girls to our own and other Church Schools, also have a responsibility. It is not war that will bring world peace, but the spreading of the Christian message which is inbred into the spirit of our own and other Church Schools, that will win in the end. This, then, is our task—we cannot accept our privileges without also accepting our responsibilities. In concluding, we would wish all members the peace and goodwill of the Christmas Season. We do trust that the girls leaving the School this year will join us as members, and keep in touch with the School we all love. Jean A. Rentoul, Hon.

MELBOURNE BRANCH Report for 1961 The Business and Professional Women's Clubrooms were the venue for Reunions held by the Melbourne Branch on April 17th and October 23rd. The excellent attendance on both nights was most gratifying to the committee members, and if the noise of the chatter was

any indication, these evenings were thoroughly enjoyed by the 70 odd members who were present at each Reunion. We were delighted to have Miss Pratt with us on both occasions, and Miss Shaw at the April meeting, when she gave us a resume of school activities. It was a disappointment to the girls that she was unable to be present in October. Representatives of Geelong Branch were also welcomed at both gatherings. It was unanimously decided that a donation of i40 from our funds be given to the School through the Geelong Branch. The resignation from the committee of Pat Barber, who leaves for overseas early next year, was accepted with regret, and Margaret Potter was elected to fill this vacancy on the committee. November 27th last year marked another milestone for the Melbourne Branch, when they held their first Old Collegians' Church Service, at Balwyn Presbyterian Church. The excellent attendance of members and their families was most encouraging. The address was given by Miss Shaw, and the soloist was Madge Stephens. After the service we all gathered at the home of our President, Mrs. W. Hooper (Lorna Ebbott) for supper. We are hoping to make this an annual event. November 5th is the date for the 1961 Church Service, which will be held once again at the Balwyn Presbyterian Church. The committee would like to hear from any Old Collegians residing in Melbourne who are not receiving notices of our Reunions. They could contact our President, Mrs. W. Hooper (WF13590) or our Secretary, Miss Netta Bowring (WL9557). We look forward to the continued success of our Reunions, the next being at 8 p.m. on Monday, April 16th, at the Business and Professional Women's Clubrooms, McEwan House, and extend a cordial invitation to all Old Collegians,

WESTERN DISTRICT BRANCH It is with much pleasure I present to you the Annual Report for the year ending October 14th, 1961. The Annual Meeting for 1960 was held at the Hi-Lite Cafe in October, when we had as our guests from Geelong Audrey Gillett and Jean Rentoul. Miss Shaw was unable to be present. Audrey Gillett, in the absence of Miss Shaw, took the chair for the election of officebearers, which resulted as follow :— President, Una McLeod ; Vice-Presidents, Margaret Boyd and Isobel Reynolds ; Secretary, Judith Pocock ; Treasurer, Glenys Drayton. It was decided early in the year that, owing to the disappointing results of our dances in the past, we would only hold one dance this year, which is arranged for December. A general get-together was held at the home of Ailsa Sims in May. The evening took the form of a fashion parade, followed by a general meeting. We were finding it difficult to meet funds for the Joyce Alexander Scholarship, so an appeal was launched at this meeting, and letters already had been sent to every member in the Western District. At this evening it was agreed that each member pledge herself to give 1 each year towards the Old Collegians to fulfil the Scholarship and other funds ; the result of this decision has been very pleasing.

Our Church Parade was held in March, and we were happy to have as our guests for the service Miss Shaw, Audrey Gillett and Jean Rentoul, but we were sorry they could not join us at the Victoria Hotel for lunch. Rev. Hastie conducted the service, and Judith and I took part by reading the Bible Readings. Congratulations go to Hilary Howey on the occasion of her marriage ; to Patsy Howe and Judy Geelvins, on the birth of little ones ; and special congratulations to Dorothy Jellie, on the birth of twin daughters. Best wishes go Rhonda Lang for her engagement. In closing, I would like to say how grateful we are to Flora McDonald for her kindness in allowing us to hold our meetings at her home, and to Ailsa Sims we say thank you also for the use of her home for our social evening. No report would be complete without a special mention to those who do the work, and to Judith and Glenys I say thank you on behalf of the Old Collegians, and also add my own personal thanks for their support to me at all times.

On special occasions the boarders would change in the evening into black velvet frocks, finished with lace collars and cuffs. Patent leather black shoes took the place of the heavy school shoes, and hair was in neat braids tied with black or navy ribbons. On Speech Nights the whole School was dressed in white, with black stockings and shoes—and on these occasions white ribbons were permissible. The girls would march in crocodile from the School to the Plaza Theatre ; in fact, wherever they went, they marched two by two, with the poor staff tailing up the rear to see the little ones were not left behind, which could easily be the case if the leaders caught sight of the Geelong College boarders ahead of them ! All sport, except basketball, had to be played away from the School—baseball and athletics were at Kardinia Park oval, while the tennis teams hiked around Geelong to various courts lent by generous friends of the School. Sports teams playing other schools away from home would get to their destination by train, often having to stay overnight, and many and varied were the homes they stayed in, but many lasting friendships resulted from these visits. House matches between Harris and Roslyn were played in all sports, and later Ardens was formed to make a triangular competition. As well, the teams played the staff on many occasions—in one such match the girls arrived dressed

in their black, sateen bloomers, with College pullovers and caps ; but, of course, the basketball court was surrounded by an eight-foot corrugated iron fence ! They were happy days—from the smallest child to the head prefect, everyone knew everyone else. Many of Geelong's leading business men were " Old Boys," for boys were taken until the third form. At the Founders' Dinner at Morongo this year the then Mayor of Geelong, Cr. Vautin Andrews, was a guest—his name was the first on the School roll. Land was purchased in Herne Hill— the site of the present College Preparatory School ; but before anything could be done in the way of building, the property, " Morongo," became available, and the Council did not hesitate. In a very early " Lucernian " the School Chaplain of that day asked two questions : Was this School worth founding? Is this School worth fostering and perpetuating ? Surely, when we look at Morongo to-day we have the answer —the first School was of limited capacity and the grounds were cramped, but the vision of the founders was wide and their imagination vivid, for from these small beginnings has grown a strong, virile and beautiful School, highly regarded throughout the Commonwealth ; and from the friendships of those early days has sprung the strength and vitality of the Old Collegians' Association.
