THE LUCERNIAN

EDITORIAL Since Britain's entry into the Common Market became a strong possibility, Australian politicians, businessmen and journalists have been investigating potential markets in South-East Asia. This region is one of the world's main trouble spots, and Indonesia's claim on and acquisition of West Irian, the projected federation of Malaysia and Communist infiltration in Vietnam and Laos, have all made news this year. I think that Australians in general know far too little about South-East Asia. This is partly the fault of the educational syllabus, which lays stress on Europe and the United States and gives the impression that Malaya, Burma and the rest are sleepy colonies still in the plantation stage. In recent months, the press and magazines have published many articles and maps dealing with the area.

diplomats now fear that Indonesia may be invited to choose sides. One hundred million Indonesians inhabit the nation nearest to Australia. Recently they acquired the Western half of New Guinea from the Netherlands, and they have promised the natives internal self-determination in 1969. Burma and Thailand are two adjacent and less controversial countries. The former 18 seldom in the news and has been governed since 1958 by Army Commander-General Ne Win. Of all SouthEastern Asian nations, Thailand is the most co-operative and the most opposed to Communism. With moral and financial aid, it will become a politically stable democracy.

THE LUCERNIAN In the financial year just ended, onethird of all Australia's exports went to Asian and Pacific countries, compared with nineteen per cent. to the United Kingdom. Whether Britain joins the Common Market or not, it is clear that the trend towards our Asian neighbours will continue. We are more welcome in the smaller countries than either Japan or China, and are too small ourselves to be suspected of having imperialistic designs. On the other hand, the naive " Look, we have a market on our doorstep " view

which has been so publicised lately, is misleading. An increase in the export trade to Asia will entail new political recognitions and new import policies, for we cannot expect to spend Asian money on European goods. Other difficulties are the high prices of our consumer goods, high freight rates and the White Australia Policy. Although we maintain that this is purely economic, nothing is divorced from politics now, and the policy is a barrier to both trade relations and better understanding with SouthEast Asia.

COUNCIL NOTES Fees The Council reluctantly decided to increase fees at the beginning of the year in order to meet an expected increase in teaching staff salaries. Following the increases granted to State School teachers, adjustments were made in the award for independent school teachers, which resulted in Morongo having to meet a substantial extra cost. The Council is gratified, however, that the fees are able to be kept at a level lower than that of most other schools. Buildings Work has commenced late in the year on the building of a new toilet and changing room block, which should be ready for first term, 1963. During the year an extension was added to the Library, which is now of a far more appropriate size for such an important part of the School. Gas heaters were installed in the classrooms at the beginning of the winter, but, unfortunately, some of the units required adjustments which could not be completed until some of the coldest weather had passed.

Repairs Maintenance of the School's properties and equipment represents a major item in the expenditure of every year. Besides the inevitable painting and replacement of desks, beds, linen, etc., a programme of major jobs is drawn up at the commencement of each year. It has been necessary in 1962 to give special attention to the nursery in Elizabeth Street, and to the roofs of some of the older buildings at Morongo. Staff and Pupils The Council has once again been proud of the achievements of the staff and the pupils in all phases of school life. Academic results have been good, some excellent sporting results have been achieved, and the general conduct of the pupils has been first-class. This reflects great credit on Miss Shaw and the members of the teaching staff. The School has also been well served by its domestic and ground staff, whose contribution is not overlooked by the Council. D.G.N.

THE LUCERNIAN

PARENTS' AND FRIENDS' ASSOCIATION The Parents' and Friends' Association continues to function well, and the activities have been well supported by parents and others interested in the welfare of the School. At our annual meeting Mr. H. R. Fidge, who has been President since 1959, resigned from that position, and Mr. A. L. Lucas was .appointed in his place. Mr. Fidge, who had been associated with Morongo for nearly 18 years, said that the School had been very good to him over the years, and by his role as President he felt he had been able to repay in some small measure what Morongo had done for him. Mr. Fidge welcomed the new President and wished him well during his term of office. The office-bearers for 1962-63 are : President, Mr. A. L. Lucas ; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. P. Lowe ; Mr. C. L. Hirst ; Mr. E. C. Laird, Mr. H. R. Fidge ; Hon. Treasurer, Mr. C. J. Cowperthwaite; Hon. Secretary, Mrs. J. Goodall ; and a Committee of 35 members. The Garden Party was as usual a very enjoyable function, as well as a financial success. The proceeds amounted to 1726 —I225 being allocated to each organisation namely, Old Collegians, Junior Auxiliary and the Association, and the balance to be used for equipment which is to be made during the year. The new area where the Garden Party was held proved most successful, and we

congratulate Dr. D. Taylor, our organiser, on the very capable way in which he handled his many duties. The social evening held in the new Dining Hall gave the parents an opportunity to meet Miss Shaw and members of the teaching staff. It was a most enjoyable evening, and very gratifying to the committee to see such a large crowd present. During the year the committee received great pleasure in presenting a T.V. set to the School, which is giving recreation and pleasure to the girls, under supervision. This year the Library has been extended, and our Association has undertaken to arrange with parents of girls leaving school to donate a book, suitably inscribed, for the School Library. A theatre and supper party will conclude the social functions for this year, and we are hoping to have as large a crowd present as in 1961. The date of the 1963 Garden Party is fixed for Saturday, April 6th, when we shall look again for the usual interest and support of parents and friends. We express our thanks to Miss Shaw and members of the staff for their loyal support and interest, and extend a warm invitation to parents not yet connected with the Association to join us at any time. Joan I. Goodall, Hon. Secretary.

SCHOOL NOTES At our first Assembly, held on February 13th, Miss Shaw welcomed Miss Hone and Miss McNaughton to the staff and the new girls to the School. During this year an appeal was made for funds to assist in the erection of St. Hilda's College at the MelboUrne University. The students and staff of

Morongo are to be congratulated on their contribution to the appeal, which amounted to £269/10/-. Later in the year the girls from Morongo and the boys from Geelong College presented four fine performances of the Chester Miracle Play, " Noye's Fludde," in St. George's Church.

THE LUCERNIAN This year, as always, we must thank the School Council for the consideration and interest they show in the welfare of Morongo. It is due to their generosity that extensions to the Library were completed early this year and that a new toilet block is near completion. We thank the Parents' and Friends' Association for helping to re-furnish the Library. Helen MacGowan. JUNIOR SCHOOL NOTES On reviewing the year 1962 it is outstanding as the happiest I can recall. The happy co-operation of the staff has resulted in a school where enthusiasm, logical and rational thinking abound. The school was indeed fortunate in obtaining the services of Miss M. Chappell, an Old Collegian, who has added much to the school, particularly in the field of art, craft and drama. We hope that she will stay with us for a long time. The members of the percussion band have worked very keenly all the year, especially since the • addition of a fine cymbal, so generously donated by the Junior School Auxiliary. This group of mothers expend all their energies thinking and working for valuable aids for us. Their gift of a public address system, amongst many others for the year, makes us wonder how we were able to work without it. Now that we realise the full extent of their generosity, we are thinking of luxuries they can add next year. The school was also most appreciative for a gift of a delightful Japanese doll, which was the gift of the Misses Lang. In April the girls enjoyed the Annual Sports Day, which resulted in a victory for Ardens. The junior champion was Suzanne Cooke, with Margaret Scott as runner-up. On Arbor Day the Nursery School visited us and planted a tree in the grounds. They enjoyed the visit, and were proud to partake of morning tea in the new dining-room.

Our thanks are due to the parents for their generous help and support in sending along contributions on days when we collected Food for Peace. We feel that this is a very worthy cause, which we must support. As the year draws to a close we realise how much we shall miss Miss Brownhill, who has given many years of splendid service at the Nursery School. She has endeared herself to children and parents alike. All wish her well in the future. JUNIOR AUXILIARY It is with much pleasure that I present the annual report for 1962 of the Morongo Junior Auxiliary. The group has had a very successful year, somewhat busier than usual, due to activities in connection with the St. Hilda's Building Appeal. This appeal had a great deal of support from members who appreciated the need for an additional residential college at Melbourne University. On July 18th a very successful luncheon was held at Morongo in aid of the appeal. The luncheon was catered for and organised by members of both the Junior and Senior groups, and resulted in a cheque for £209 being forwarded to the St. Hilda's Appeal Meetings continued to be held in the Bible Class room at McPhillemy Hall. We are fortunate to have a central meeting-place, and we are grateful to the Board of St. George's for allowing us the use of the hall. During the year we welcomed a number of new members; and hope that they have enjoyed our meetings, which have provided an excellent opportunity to get together socially and to help the staff and children of the Junior School. The annual social evening was held at Kirrewur Court on March 27th, and was attended by a large number of mothers and staff, who enjoyed a very happy and hilarious evening together. Meetings this year have covered a very large range of subjects, including a talk by Miss Morrison, of Pirra, the Child Welfare Home at Lara, and a talk

On three occasions during the year the Junior Group joined with the Senior Auxiliary for combined meetings, firstly, to hear Mrs. Coates speak about plans for St. Hilda's, then for a " Tupper Ware " afternoon in aid of the appeal ; and, lastly, for the annual visit from Miss Shaw. We hope that in future combined meetings will be a yearly event, since they help significantly in the sometimes difficult transition of members from the Junior to the Senior group.

THE LUCERNIAN The Prefects have been invited by the Old Collegians to attend their Annual Re-union at the School on November 10th. I would like to thank the Prefects and Deputy Prefects for the help and support they have given me during the year. I also thank Prudence Gilmore and the House Committee for attending to their many duties in the Boarding House so willingly and efficiently, and Miss Ohison for the time and thought she has given to the comfort and welfare of the boarders.

We are indeed grateful to Miss Sutherland and the staff for their guidance and support throughout the year, and to Miss Shaw for the unlimited assistance and interest she has shown in our various activities. To the girls of the School, the Prefects and I thank you for your cooperation, and remind those returning to Morongo to keep their lamps burning. Helen MacGowan.

HOUSE NOTES ARDENS " Seek Wisdom." This year has brought mixed success to Ardens, but I feel that the high standard of work, sport and conduct could be higher if some girls would show more interest in these affairs. For the first time in five years Ardens was successful in winning the Swimming This was due Sports on March 8th. largely to the enthusiasm of all those who competed and supported. Amongst the other champions we congratulate Dorothy Green (Senior Champion), Cheryl Cooper (Junior Champion) and Elizabeth Wright (Junior runner-up), of Ardens. Congratulations go to Roslyn on winning the Athletic Sports on May 5th, and also to Susan Cook (Senior runner-up), Judith Downey (Sub-Junior Champion), and Victoria Johnstone (Sub-Junior runner-up). Second Term brought the hockey and basketball season, and all praise goes to Roslyn for winning the basketball. Ardens was successful in winning the hockey and came third in the basketball. Tennis and baseball matches have not yet been played. Several changes have taken place this year, as a house sports captain was elected instead of Forum Representatives. Food for " Community Aid Abroad " is no longer brought as a house effort. A House social has been re-introduced in the form of organised entertainment and a barbecue. House notice-boards were also erected this year, and have proved beneficial. On behalf of the girls of Ardens I would like to thank our members of staff for their interest and guidance throughout the year. In particular, I would like to thank our Vice-Captain and Sports Captain, Gillian Weeks, for the assistance she has given me and for the work she has done for the House. Ardens has been proud to have as one of its members the Head Prefect, Helen MacGowan, and I thank Helen and all the senior girls for their help this year.

To those leaving or returning, " Good luck ! " and remember our motto, to " Seek Wisdom." Nancy Gray. HARRIS " Not failure but low aim is crime." In general, there has been an improvement in House spirit this year. This has been most obvious in weekly debits and credits totals. Unfortunately, there are still some girls who make little or no attempt to abide by our motto. However, these few by no means overshadowed the enthusiasm and house spirit shown by other members. We were well represented by keen members in both of first term's main sporting events—swimming and athletics. Unfortunately, we were not very successful in either. Our congratulations go to Ardens, who won the swimming sports ; Roslyn, who won the athletics ; and to all the champions and runners-up in both sports. During second term the basketball and hockey matches were played. We extend our congratulations to Ardens for their win in hockey and to Roslyn for winning the basketball. This year we decided to have House socials again. We are combining with Ardens, and are looking forward to an enjoyable afternoon and barbecue. I thank our Vice-Captain, Marilyn Miller ; our Sports Captain, Felice Dougall ; our members of staff, and House members, both senior and junior, for their unfailing support to all House activities throughout the year. We wish a happy and successful future to those leaving, and hope that they will always bear in mind that " not failure but low aim is crime." To those returning we wish a very succesful year, and hope that every girl will give of her best to her House. Good luck, Harris ! Aenone Horne.

ROSLYN

" To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

" We are judged by our deeds."

The girls have had a determined attitude this year, especially in regard to sport, although there are some who hinder our scholastic progress. Our first event, the Swimming Sports, was very keenly contested, and we congratulate Ardens on narrowly winning the Ena Miller Shield from us, and our own champions—Judith Doak (senior runner-up), Margaret Gonsal and Susan Hocking (Intermediate Champion and runner-up, respectively). In athletics, Roslyn succeeded in gaining the Margaret Shannon Cup, with Lawson not far behind them. All girls trained well, and are to be congratulated, especially Heather Brown (Intermediate runner-up), Barbara Brewster ( Junior Champion), and Anne Greville (runner-up), and Margaret Shanks, equal Junior Champion. Basketball and hockey matches were played during the winter term, and although our juniors were successful, Ardens gained the Marion Rankin Shield for hockey, and Roslyn won the Ruth Macmillan Shield for basketball. The tennis and baseball results are as yet unknown. Each House has a new notice-board in the quadrangle now, brightly painted in its own colour, and they have proved to be a great help. I would like to thank all our members of staff for their encouragement and also our Vice-Captain, Lesley Malin, and Sports Captain, Susan Schofield, for their loyal support. Finally, I trust that all Lawson girls leaving or returning will remember our motto, and, hence, strive towards a bright and successful future. Alison Hastie.

Nineteen hundred and sixty-two has been quite a successful year for Roslyn on the sports field ; however, some girls do not seem to be so enthusiastic in the classroom. Although the standard of work is quite high, a few girls are very careless in their attitude, and so have prevented us rising above third place in the debits and credits. The first major sports event of the year was the Swimming Sports. Although we only managed to come equal third, we were by no means disgraced. Our congratulations go to all the champions and to Ardens, who were the victors. The next major event was the Athletic Sports, which were held in May. Roslyn proved successful in gaining first place, but were closely followed by Lawson, Ardens and Harris. We were also rewarded for our hard practice by winning the marching. We congratulate our own champions, Margaret C. McLean, (Senior), Robyn Johnstone (Intermediate) and H. McCowan ( Junior runnerup). Our congratulations also go to our successful opponents, Susan Cook, Heather Brown, Barbara Brewster, Judith Downey, Margaret Shanks and Victoria Johnston. In the House matches played so far this year, we congratulate Ardens on winning the Hockey Shield, and were ourselves successful in obtaining the Basketball Shield. On behalf of all Roslyn girls I would like to thank our Vice-Captain, Elizabeth McCann, and our Sports Captain, Robyn Johnstone, for their help and support in all House events throughout the year. Finally, I would like to wish the House " Good luck " for 1963, and remind all girls to uphold their motto. Prudence Gilmore.

SPORT SPORTS REPORT The attitude to sport in the School this year has been very promising. There are many Intermediates and Juniors who show a keenness and should be included in the School teams. Association matches were played against The Hermitage, M.L.C., P.L.C. and Melbourne Grammar School, and we were also able to play a number of social matches. Senior tennis finished their season undefeated, and so won the Association premiership. In second term the Morongo senior basketball team tied with M.L.C. to win the Association premiership. In baseball and hockey Morongo teams fought hard, but didn't have great success. The inter-house and inter-form matches were great fun, much excitement being caused by the unorthodox way in which basketball girls played hockey. Keen competition at the Swimming Sports resulted in Ardens winning narrowly from Lawson. We congratulate all the girls who braved the water and especially the individual champions. The Athletic Sports this year were held on the top oval. Our congratulations go to Roslyn for winning the Margaret Shannon Cup, and to the champions.

This term boarders sport and form sport has been supervised, and a senior All girl is in charge of each group. equipment is now checked in and out, and this has cut down on the amount of equipment lost. The number of books in the sports section in the Library has been greatly increased. The books are on a variety of sports and are being widely read. In conclusion, I would like to thank all the girls who helped by umpiring matches or organising sport. We would all like to thank Miss Ferguson and Miss Ockleston for all the thought and planning they have done for us in sport. Our thanks to the ground staff, who were always willing to mark out the oval or mend equipment. I would like to thank especially the House Sports Captains, Felice Dougall (Harris), Susan Schofield (Lawson), Gillian Weeks (Ardens) and Robyn Johnstone (Roslyn). They did a magnificent job in organising their house teams. To all girls who are leaving or coming back I wish them every success in 1963. Margaret C. McLean. TENNIS REPORT

We congratulate Eve Fadgyas for her effort in the fencing , championships in Adelaide.

This year has been a most successful one, in tennis, as both the first and second senior teams won premierships, and the juniors won two of their three matches. The following girls are to be congratulated on their inclusion in the first eight : Lorelle Anderson (vice-captain), Pamela Mair, Patricia Illingworth, Felice Dougall (captain), Jacqueline Bradshaw, Elizabeth McCann, Lorraine Smith and Rosemary Stewart.

To relieve the crowding of notices on the main sports board, the girls in each house gave a small amount so that separate house boards could be erected.

During the year we played a social match against Clyde and a mixed tournament with the Hermitage girls and boys from Geelong College.

On Fete day the juniors gave a display of marching and the seniors gave a vaulting demonstration. Miss Ferguson is teaching the girls Scottish dancing, and they intend to put on a display for Hobbies Day.

THE LUCERNIAN

The School tennis championships are now being keenly contested in five divisions—junior singles and doubles, intermediate singles and senior singles and doubles. The inter-house and form competitions are to be played later in third term. On behalf of all tennis players I would like to thank Mr. Dickenson for his individual coaching and assistance given to the first eight on Thursday mornings. Our thanks also go to Miss Ferguson for her encouragement and guidance, and to Miss Botterill, who arranged the tennis lessons. To next year's teams, the very best of luck. Felice Dougall.

ATHLETICS, 1962 The Athletic Sports were held on May 5th. This year it was decided to hold the sports on the top oval to prevent the crowding of events. The heats for the sports were held during the weeks preceding the actual day. The results of the sports were : Roslyn first, Lawson second, Ardens third, and Harris fourth. The individual champions were : SubJunior Champion, J. Downey and M. Shanks, with V. Johnstone runner-up ; Junior Champion was B. Brewster, with H. McCowan runner-up. R. Johnstone was Intermediate Champion and H. Brown was runner-up. Senior Champion and runner-up were M. C. McLean and S. Cook, respectively. Records were set for all track events except the 220 yards. We would like to thank Miss Ferguson and Miss Ockleston for all the advice and encouragement they gave us when we were training for the sports. Also, we thank them for all the work they did in preparing the oval. We appreciate the work Mr. Frazer, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Frazer did in marking and generally preparing the oval. M. C. McLean.

SWIMMING REPORT This year the Swimming Sports were held on March 8th—a week after the heats. Our congratulations go to Ardens, who won the Ena Miller Shield for swimming by eight points, closely followed by Lawson, with Harris and Roslyn equal third. The champions were : Open, Dorothy Green ; Intermediate, Margaret Gonsal ; Junior, Cheryl Cooper. On March 24th a number of girls competed in the Geelong and District Swimming Championships held at the Eastern Beach. Morongo were again successful in winning the Batten Aggregate Shield for girls. The Victorian All Schools' Swimming Championships were held at the Olympic Stadium on March 31st. The under 16 freestyle team gained third place and the under 19 medley team second. Life-saving classes were again held under Miss Ferguson's supervision, and many girls were successful in gaining awards. I should like to thank Miss Ferguson and Miss Ockleston for their support throughout the season. Dorothy Green.

BASKETBALL REPORT The first team this year consisted of D. Ekstedt, E. McCann, G. Weeks (vicecaptain), G. Ford, S. Cook, M. C. McLean (captain) and A. Hastie. This year the nights of training and the practice matches in basketball were rewarded by Morongo firsts winning with M.L.C. the basketball premiership. The Morongo seconds, junior A and B, and the sub-junior teams had mixed success. In our first Association match we played the Hermitage, and won. The second match, against M.L.C., was a draw. In the last two matches Morongo firsts and the junior A were successful against P.L.C. and M.C.E.G.G.S.

THE LUCERNIAN On behalf of the teams I would like to thank Miss Ockleston for her interest and for the encouragement she gave us. If the team spirit and team work shown this year is carried on, Morongo should have a happy and successful year in 1963. M. C. McLean.

HOCKEY SHIELD We were pleased to see so many boarders in our teams this year, but were disappointed that the daygirls did not show their full enthusiasm in trying for a team. We congratulate the following girls on playing in the first senior team : Jacqueline Bradshaw, Helen Craig (vice-captain), Rosalie Dorman, Karen Funston, Prudence Gilmore, Nancy Gray, Patricia Illingworth (captain), Helen Lang, Christine McKenzie, Alison Read and Jeanette Thom. Although our team failed to be victors, we gave our opposition some good matches, but were sadly disgraced by P.L.C., who proved to be far superior. Our social matches against Teachers' College firsts and seconds, which were played after school, gave us more experience and were enjoyed by all. Keen competition was shown in the house hockey teams, and after many mud baths we congratulate Ardens on winning the Ruth McMillan Shield. The girls leaving join me in wishing next year's teams every success, and on behalf of the teams I would like to thank Miss Ferguson for her guidance and encouragement in training the teams, also Miss Hone, who kindly helped to coach the juniors, and Helen Craig, for being a loyal and hardworking vice-captain. Patricia Illingworth.

(pitcher), N. Gray (catcher), G. Weeks (first base), D. Ekstedt (second base), G. Ford (third base), H. MacGowan (short stop), A. Hastie (left field), W. Newberry (centre field), J. Park (right field). Our Association matches started on March 10th and continued till May 11th. Although the senior A team only won one match, they provided strong opposition for the other teams, and in a couple of matches were unfortunate not to win. This enthusiasm and comparatively high standard of play was also shown in the senior B and junior teams. Baseball practices also took place in third term, and it was very pleasing to see the large numbers of girls turning out for practice, making the 1963 seasson look very promising. Unfortunately, a social match against Clyde on October 20th was cancelled owing to bad weather. Our thanks go to Miss Ockleston for her help in coaching us during the year, and we wish next year's teams every success. G. Weeks.

At these meetings we discuss general business concerning school affairs, inclu-

ding Social Service, arrangements for school functions and conduct. The debits are read and recorded by the house captains. We would like to thank Miss Shaw and Miss Sutherland for their interest and support and for all they have done for us throughout the year. Marianne Roszbach.

THE LUCERNIAN MUSIC CLUB REPORT This year the committee consisted of Aenone Horne, Lesley Malin, Sandra Bufton, Helen Lang, Prudence Gilmore, Margaret A. McLean, Nancy Gray and Miss Marilyn Miller (secretary). Blowes has again held choir meetings for the boarders and School choir throughout the year. Forty boarders attended the A.B.C. Celebrity Concerts and were fortunate in seeing the symphony orchestra, once under Rudolf Peharek and once under Georges Tzipine ; the Athenaeum pianist, Gina Bauchauer, Israeli pianist Daniel Baremboin, the violinist Maurice Clare, accompanied by Marta Zalan, and the contralto Maureen Forrester. The first Music Club meeting was held on 31st March, when Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Cotton and Mrs. Fagg sang songs under the title, " We Sing Along the Way." On 29th April Mr. Rae Dickson, from Dickson's Music Shop, Ryrie Street, entertained us with a selection of classical records. During second term, on June 23rd, Mr. Backhouse, choirmaster of Christ Church, Geelong, spoke to us on Tudor Music, and six members of his choir sang several examples. On Sunday, 22nd August, this year's House Competitions were held. Each house sang an anthem, a set song (" Silent Worship," by Mendelssohn), and an English folk song. The final results were : McPhee, first (total 53) ; Neilson, second (42) ; Hearn, third (39) ; and David, fourth (37). Mr. Malcolm John was the adjudicator. This year, due to the enthusiasm of Miss Blowes and Mr. Martini on August 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd, was held four successive performances of Benjamin Britten's miracle play, " Noye's Fludde." It was performed in St. George's Church, and about 150 people from Morongo and Geelong College took part. On Saturday, 6th October, a pianist, Miss Mary Rusden, visited our Music Club and gave a talented performance of Bach, Brahms and other composers.

Britten, and we will complete this year with another Music Club party kindly given by Miss Wadelton.

We are grateful to Miss Blowes for taking us to Celebrity Concerts ; to the Music staff for all their help and encouragement ; to Miss Shaw for her interest ; and to Miss Wadelton, without whose help the Music Club would not have been so successful. Finally, I wish next year's club an interesting, enthusiastic year. Marilyn Miller. MUSIC EXAMINATION RESULTS, 1962 Preliminary: Pass, Jill Harvey ; Credit, SueAnne Hodges, Victoria Johnstone.

THE LUCERNIAN " NOYE'S FLUDDE "

This year, for the first time, we produced an opera with the boys of Geelong College. It was " Noye's Fludde," a mediaeval miracle play set to music by Benjamin Britten, and it was presented at St. George's Church from Monday, August 20th, to Thursday, 23rd. Parts were decided early in March, and we began rehearsing at school with Miss Blowes. Before the end of first term combined rehearsals were held with the boys of the College. Besides soloists, there were 35 pairs of animals, 6 gossips, an orchestra of 54, a supplementary chorus of 21, and 9 property boys. The production was in the capable hands of Mr. Martin, who organised the rehearsals so that they ran smoothly, as well as being most enjoyable. Under the guidance of Mr. Webb, the ark and the animal masks were expertly made by the boys of the House of Guilds. We were grateful for the friends of the schools who so willingly gave up their time to assist in the orchestra and helped to make the production such a success. The leading parts were taken by two members of staff of Geelong College and Morongo, and we are indebted to them for their help and unfailing interest. " Noye's Fludde " was an unusual production, however, and those who took part found it a memorable experience, and the congregations were most enthusiastic. The soloists were as follow : Noah, Mr. Lester ; Mrs. Noah, Miss Blowes ; Jaffett, D. Davies ; Mrs. Jaffett, R. Baxter ; Sem, P. Dixon ; Mrs. Sem, J. Cox ; Ham, N. Thudd ; Mrs. Ham, C. McKenzie ; the Voice of God, Mr. Mackie. A. Thwaites and E. Eaton.

PLAY READING In second term this year a Play Reading Group was formed between Morongo and College by those people who were not participating in " Noye's Fludde " This but were interested in drama. group was led by Mr. Mahar, of Geelong College, and was held every Tuesday and

Friday afternoons at Morongo. We studied two plays during the term, " Pictures on the Wall " and " Fool's Errand," but because of lack of time we could not present them. However, we sincerely thank Mr. Mahar for the time and enthusiastic interest he gave us, and hope that this group will continue to prosper next year under his guidance. Marianne Roszbach.

DRAMATIC CLUB REPORT This year, after many postponements, the annual dramatic performance was held on 29th September, the play chosen being " The Lilies of the Field," by John Hastings Turner. The play, a comedy in three acts, deals with the courting of the Vicar of Weiderleet's twin daughters. Elizabeth, in order to go to London for a month with her grandmother, Mrs. Rooke-Walter, reverted back to early Victorian times. However, in the end, she was forced to show her deception to her family and lover, Mr. Haddon. Catherine, the other twin, is strictly modern, and her wooing by Mr. Brian Ropes, a Victorian disciple, is quite amusing. The Vicar, a conscientious man, who knows of Elizabeth's deception, has trouble not revealing the story to his wife and mother-in-law. The cast, in order of appearance : Vicar, Robyn Paterson; Anne (his wife), Alison George ; Mrs. Rooke-Walter (her mother), Christine Mullins ; Catherine (twin daughter), Heather Gray; Elizabeth (twin daughter), Robyn Wesley; Barnaby Haddon, Joan Ingpen ; Hon. Monica Flane, Susan Eccles-Smith ; Lady Susan Rocker, Vanessa Mitchell ; Brian Ropes, Anne Ross ; Violet (a maid), Susan Smith ; Withers (the butler), Joan Foley. We wish to thank those who lent us stage properties and helped in the production of the play. Most of all we thank Miss Apted for her hard work and interest, and in the future we wish her every success. A.G.

LIBRARY REPORT This year has been an extremely busy one for the Library Committee. Halfway through the first term we were able to open our extended library, and the

21

new tables, chairs and linoleum were admired by all. I would like to thank the two Mr. Frasers for their work in erecting new bookshelves, and John Peeman Pty. Ltd., who are building us a magazine stand and a file-holder. We would like to thank the Council for their generosity in extending the Library and allowing us a larger grant to spend on new books. This year we have devoted all our efforts to enlarging the reference library, and with the help and guidance of the Geography, History, English, Science, Art and Music Mistresses, have succeeded in filling a few of the empty spaces. Our greatest acquisition this year was a new set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and also a set of the Junior Encyclopaedias. During the year Mrs. Clarke agreed to help us on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. She has sorted out a special section of Junior Reference, and has started library classes for the junior forms. In the re-classifying of the Library, Mrs. Clarke has been invaluable, and is re-cataloguing the whole of the reference section. Here I would like to thank Mrs. Clarke for her work in typing a large number of new cards, and also many girls and girls' mothers who helped. People have once again been extremely generous in their gifts this year. We specially wish to thank Mr. Rentoul, Mrs. Arnott, Miss Shaw, Miss Ohlson, Miss Ferguson (for a year's subscription to " Scottish Field "), Dianne Goodall, Rostmary Crossley, Helen Gibson, Georgia Swinton, Pauline Day, Pamela Wightman and Victoria Johnstone. On Tuesday, October 16th, Miss Leigh drove Mrs. Clarke, Rosemary Crossley, Helen Gibson and me to the Theatrette of the State Library to attend a lecture sponsored by the Children's Book Council of Victoria. Mrs. Young, the librarian of Fintona Girls' School, gave a lecture on " Raising the Standard of Reading in the School Library." There was a short question time, and after this we left with many new ideas to think upon.

THE LUCERNIAN

On Friday, November 2nd (Hobbies Day), we held a sale of books in the School Library, which was a great success. Finally, we all thank Mrs. Cowperthwaite .for her unflagging help and advice to the committee throughout the year. Truda Howard.

ANNUAL P.F.A. REPORT This year has been an interesting and varied one for our P.F.A. We were pleased to welcome Mrs. Shanks to our P.F.A. The following office-bearers were elected for 1962: President, Aenone Horne ; Vice-President, Nancy Gray ; Secretary, Prudence Gilmore ; Treasurer, Margaret Mann ; Committee, Sandra Bufton, Dianne Ekstedt, Helen Lang, Lesley Malin, Marilyn Miller, Margaret A. McLean. At our first meeting for the year we welcomed two members from the District Council—Mr. Perdy and Mr. Brian, who explained to us the new P.F.A. project, "Assignment Go." Four senior members attended a discussion concerning this project at St. Andrews. Thirty Matriculation and Leaving girls attended a combined camp with the Geelong College P.F.A. at the "Toc H" camp at Point Lansdale to discuss "Assignment Go." We were fortunate in having as our leaders Miss Shaw, Mrs. Shanks, Mr. Thwaites, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Hutchins We thank and the Rev. E. McLean. them for their help and guidance throughout the studies. Especially do we thank the Rev. E. McLean, who spent much time preparing and organising the camp, thus enabling us to have both an instructive and enjoyable week-end. This year we sent two large boxes of winter clothing and knitted rugs to the State Service Exhibition in Melbourne, and gained tenth position. To the Mission Box we sent soap, pencils and exerWe also collected newscise books. papers, stamps and stockings, which our Missionary Convenor sent to various charities.

We had three major Bible sessions, which were held after prayers on Sunday nights. On September 30th Mr. E. McLean once again showed an active interest in our P.F.A. by presenting badges to nineteen new members. We thank him for his kind assistance. In second term Miss Hogart showed us some excellent slides which she took whilst visiting a missionary in New Hebrides. Slides of Alice Springs were shown to us by the six boarders who spent their September holidays there. Some of the Intermediate members went to see the film, " King of Kings," whilst fourteen senior members were invited to Geelong College to see " Recently, Mrs. Shanks told us about the life and training at Rolland House and the Church's desperate need of young women. In concluding, we thank Miss Shaw and Mrs. Shanks for their unfailing support to all our activities throughout the year. We hope that members of 1963 P.F.A. at Morongo will uphold its ideals and aims. Aenone Horne and Prudence Gilmore.

ART AND CRAFT REPORT Among the excellent works produced by the Lower School with the help of Miss Blake and Miss Howard are lampshades, table mats, scarves and cushions. Under the guidance of Miss Howard, the senior weaving classes made Swiss straw table mats, Italian straw bags, a tartan knee rug and skirt lengths. Miss McNaughton organised many classes both senior and junior in the Art Room for pottery, sculpture, lino-cuts, water-colour and oil techniques. I would like to thank Miss McNaughton for her extra classes after school and Miss Howard for an interesting art excursion to Melbourne, and for their work and enthusiasm in making " Hobbies Day " a success. Merle Weir.

THE LUCERNIAN DRESSMAKING REPORT

SOCIAL SERVICE REPORT

During the year our dressmaking classes, both during and after school, have continued under the capable guidance of Miss Blake.

Our Social Service activities began this year with a special " house drive " for selling Red Cross badges, and, as a result, we were able to send £13 to this appeal. Stockings for the Junior Red Cross and bottle-tops and stamps for the women of the University for the " Save the Children Fund " have been collected. With the help given by the girls, several supplies have been sent to these organisations.

Our electric sewing machines are now built into small tables, and a new automatic sewing machine has proved invaluable for making buttonholes and overlocking. On Hobbies Day, November 2nd, a number of garments was modelled in lingerie, sports wear, afternoon wear, and evening wear sections. Other garments were displayed in the Dressmaking Room. These garments were a credit to both students and teacher. A number of girls did dressmaking as a subject for either their Intermediate or Leaving Certificate. These students, in addition to their specified garments, must submit a practical file and notebook. On behalf of the dressmaking students I would like to thank Miss Blake for her assistance and perseverance throughout 1962 and wish her and the girls doing dressmaking the best of luck for 1963. Alwyne Merritt. CANTEEN REPORT Once again this year the Canteen has been opened for the day girls at recess and lunch time. Those who wished to do so were able to have hot soup at recess during second term. The Tuckshop was opened for the boarders on Tuesday nights and Saturdays. I would like to thank Miss Leigh for making it possible for us to have the usual sweets and ice-creams, plus added items, which have proved very popular to all. Sandra Bufton.

Form fetes have been held during the year and various competitions were run to provide generous donations for Social Service work. The " Food for Peace " campaign has continued throughout the year, with its title being changed, on the 1st of July to Community Aid Abroad (C.A.A.). This year our main effort to raise money for the St. Hilda's College Appeal was to run a " Miss Senior " and a " Miss Junior Morongo " Competition. Our intended effort was to raise enough money to furnish a bed-sitting room in the College, costing about £100, but the sum raised was above all expectations, and amounted to £271/15/-. The winning form which raised the most money in the senior division was Intermediate A, with 4BX the winner of the junior division. Individual winners in the seniors was Robyn Sears, with Anrta Shamblin runner-up, and the junior section was won by Rosemary Thomson, with Pamela Laidlaw second. Our congratulations go to all those who participated in the quest, especially to our Head Prefect for her enthusiasm and organisation. I should like to thank Miss Evans for her interest and unfailing support in all Social Service activities and all associated with the School who have cooperated so willingly throughout the year to make all the efforts successful. Elizabeth McCann.

This year has been comparatively free from illness, and there have been no epidemics. The Boarders' Dispensary has continued as usual, and in second term there was the customary spate of bruised ankles and colds. The main events have been the smallpox vaccinations, 'flu injections, and tuberculosis tests and vaccinations suffered by most girls and mistresses. We thank Sister Bonhote for her care and attention throughout the year. R.C. CENTRAL AUSTRALIA, 1962 On Saturday, 1st September, eighteen girls left Essendon for Alice Springs. These included Vivien Cumming, Julia Debrett, Felice Dougall, Roslyn Drew, Elizabeth Eaton, Diane Ekstedt, Alison George, Dorothy Green, Heather Gray, Zeitha Johnson, Helen Lang, Lesley Malin, Margaret Mann, Fay Pearce, Shan Pearcy, Helen Reid, Avril Scott and Lorraine Smith. We were chaperoned by Miss Ohlson. Our only stop was at Broken Hill, but we flew over Mildura, Lake Frome, Lake Eyre, the Flinders Ranges and the three State boundaries. The dry red earth north of Mildura contrasted strikingly with the green land we know in the south. Although in the middle of the desert, Alice Springs does not lack modern facilities. This was adequately shown by Mt. Gillen Hotel, in which we stayed. However, much to our surprise and amusement, we slept in tents. This factor, together with other disturbing influences, contributed to a practically sleepless night. On Sunday we rose while the stars were still shining, to travel the three hundred and sixty odd miles to Ayers Rock. We began our day by singing " Happy Fathers' Day " to Roy, our bus driver and guide, whom we later found to be unmarried ! Roy retaliated by en-

By half-past six on Sunday morning we had reached the airport. Our return journey was not as smooth as some would have wished it to be, and many turned quite green. After landing at Oodnadatta, Leigh Creek and Broken Hill, we arrived in Melbourne at half-past five, our only regrets being that the holiday was over. Our thanks go to Miss Ohlson for enabling us to have such a pleasant trip. Margaret Mann and Lesley Malin. THE SCHOOL DANCE, 1962 The School Dance was held this year on Saturday, June 9th. The prefects and senior girls had as their guests Miss Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. P. N. Thwaites, Mr. and Mrs. Coggin, the Rev. and Mrs. K. MacLean, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. MacGowan, Miss Sutherland, Miss

Ohlson and Miss Jacka, the prefects from the Hermitage and the prefects and boys from Geelong College and Geelong Grammar School.. Owing to the success of last year's programme dance, we decided to continue with this idea. The Gertrude Pratt Hall became a French cafe, for the night. White wrought-iron furniture, poodle silhouettes, red and white striped awnings around the refreshment stand and band platform and red and white balloons created a gay Parisian atmosphere. Red and white check cloths covered the tables and red geraniums and candles formed the centre-piece. I would like to thank Miss Jacka and the girls who worked so willingly and enthusiastically for the success of the dance. Helen MacGowan.

SPEECH NIGHT, 1961 The Annual Speech Night was held at the Palais Royal on December 6th. Our guest speaker was the Right Rev. the Moderator, the Reverend G. A. Wood, B.A. Miss Shaw gave an account of the activities and achievements of the School throughout the year. Mrs. G. A. Wood presented the prizes and Mrs. J. K. Reeve, President of the Old Collegians' Association, presented the sports trophies. During the evening the girls sang a bracket of songs. Janece Harvey.

ORIGINAL SECTION THE UNITED NATIONS I he I oily,' Nations is an organisation hat \\ .II:s IoI international peace. and The 2-It I -1 October, the annisecuri 1 versary of its foundation seventeen years ago, is unique in that it is the one anniversary that is celebrated by all people everywhere. Although the Lnited Nations has not vet reali',ed the high aims of its found crs iii P)13, its objectives are as valid they were at San Francisco, to-da and their realHa lion has become even more urgent. I o t be words of U Thant, Acting. secrcian (;encr:i i of U.N.: The development of the United Nations as a really elfective inst rumen' of preventing war is of primary importance to every one of us. Everybody should ask himself not only what he is going to do in the world, but also, 4 Will there be a world in which I can live?'" kven that is not enough, for a great effort must be made to make the .world more livable

for all. At the moment, hunger, disease, poverty and ignorance are the daily lot of two-thirds of mankind. So, while one part of U.N. activities is devoted to keep Mg the peace, another lot-midahle .part is d e voted to raising living standards throughout the world. The United Nations includes .various specialised agencies, such as 1.11•1 (hailed Nations l'iducational, Scientific ura 1 ( )rganisat ion), whose t;ISI: and ( IS the 11111)luVcIn(•nt of education in general and technical training in part icular.

THE LUCERNIAN The CAmeral Assembly, the governing body, has unanimously designated the 1960's as U.N. Development Decade, with the aim of raising. living standards in under developed countries and making them e(tual with those in industrial nations. All the separate bodies are working- together to bring- this about. The U.N. is also concerned with such 111;oters as the social and economic consequences of disarmament, and has had ;t report prepared on this subject by leading eemmin '1st s, which statesIm " the diversion1() peaceful purposes of the resources now in military use can he accomplished to the benefit of all countries." l'he U.N. has not been inactive in the exploration of outer space, either. The Committee on the Peaceful Ilses of Outer Space provides a channel through which information about developments and techni(ines can reach all peoples. The organisation of U.N. is simple; it is governed by the Cieneral Assembly, to Which each nation appoints delegates according- to its own laws. Each nation has the same power in the Assembly, regardless of its size, population, or wealth. All twestions are decided by voting. 'The President and his paid assistant, the See re ry ;en eral, are both elected, Hie President for a term of one year and the Secretary -(;eneral for all indefinite periO(l. 'Hie latter is the chief adminis Iral ive officer of the United Nations, and is empowered to solve many international problems without reference to the Assembly. Since the death of l)aglammarskjold, at the end of 1961, rrairina's U Thant has acted as Secretary(;eneral. From the very beginning, the 11.N. has aspired to universal membership. During- the last two years, 21 new member states have been admitted to the organisation, and the total membership is now 104, all of whom contribute to its snpport in proportion IU their own wealth. The United Nations is not something remote and distant. It is not just a skyscraper far away in New York. It is a partnership of (;overnments---ours and

103 others. "l'he Charter begins with the Through words: " We, the peoples . • we, the our representatives at peoples, discuss our common problems and seek solutions. As individuals, We have a responsibility to keep ourselves informed of what our organisation is doing. We can also help build t better understanding of l'.N. and its related greetagencies.

THE LUCERNIAN water we had them galloping straight down the gully to the waiting ambush. The pigs and family, plus the pursuers, burst out of the gully end and waited for results. Or, perhaps I should say, Murray and I did. The pigs did not. Except for a couple of tiny piglets, the herd tore straight towards the army of men, who ran for cover for dear life. The pigs ran through the following rain of lead, and except for one, out to the plains beyond. From where Mul and I were on our horses, it seemed as if everyone treated the pigs like royalty, and fired a gun salute as they went past. To me there was something indescribably funny in the situation, and I could only sit on Coona and laugh till the tears ran down my face. At last I followed the chase of dogs, fuming men, and one howling horseman, standing by himself and staring after a retreating Treasa, who had ditched him when a little pig ran from under her feet. It was about this time that the chase dramatically ended with the killing of a young sow and three piglets. The pigs were split up between the hunters, according to the love of pig. Treasa was caught, and everyone went home laden, leaving several of those porkers still living to return, puzzled, back to the gully. Robyn McAllister (14 years).

THE ROSE ON THE MOUNTAIN I found a rose upon a mountain's brow, Crimson and glowing, fragrant, fresh and fair ; And paused in wonderment to gaze, for how Should a red rose lie there ? That was no place for flowers—that grim grey crest. Let only lichens live, austere and proud ; It checked the wind's strong fury from the west, And weathered its rocks on cloud. When night should come, and heavens cold, The pale moon pass upon her pathway high ; With what chill pity would that wanderer old Look down and watch it die ! Should thus the beauty of the rose be lost ? I stooped to take it up, and yet refrained; A curious thought my careless fancy crossed, And my intent restrained. Perhaps some climber, in a charmed hour, Divined the Oread those rocks among ; And left the valley's tribute of a flower— As I would leave a song. Glenys Knight (15 years).

THE DOVE'S CALL

FITNESS CAN BE FUN

It was Spring, and a lovely day ; The sky was blue above : And somewhere from the flowering May (Its sound was low, melodious, gay), Came the cooing of a dove.

After having the opportunity of taking part in one of the many camps organised by the National Fitness Council of Victoria, I would like to convey to others what these camps have to offer.

The farmer, walking through his farm, Happened to hear the call: And, touched by Mother Nature's charm (And by the May's sweet-scented balm) Marvelled at it all.

Physical fitness is surely a desire of any young body and in a world like ours, stamina, and not only brainpower, is essential for the younger generation to develop the future. The Council's belief is that " healthy bodies are a prerequisite for healthy minds."

" By jove," cried he, " a song like this, So sweet, so full of love : I never shall forget that bliss— (As long as I remember this), The cooing of a dove." Katherine Pearcy (11 years).

These camps are not held merely to give girls and boys an enjoyable holiday —although they receive this, they benefit in many other fields and learn to work and play together. For example, the

38

THE LUCERNIAN

leaders teach them to think and organise themselves, to learn by mistakes, not from straight-forward demonstrations. The camp which I attended was "An Adventure School for Girls" for a week's duration at Tidal River, Wilson's Promontory—a fascinating place where Nature holds many a challenge for an eager candidate. Forty-two girls, from all parts of Victoria, began the week under the expert guidance of six leaders, but throughout that week they gradually let the girls take over, and noticed their qualities of leadership. The varied programme included basic bush and camp craft, excellent bush walking, canoeing, rock-climbing, athletics, swimming and many other energetic activities. The climax was a test of ability and training already received —a three-day expedition to different parts of the Promontory. Besides Adventure Schools, N.F.C. offers ski-schools near Falls Creek, mixed camps, and Good Neighbour camps, which promote understanding between new migrants and ourselves—a very worthwhile task. The National Fitness Council is under the authority of the Health Department, a State Government body, and all its staff are physical education graduates, except for one, who is an occupational therapist. One of its disadvantages is that it has no real connection with schools and distribution of leaflets is their only source of advertising, so I trust this has given you some idea of their aims and activities. I suggest that if you desire a cheap holiday this summer, the National Fitness Council of Victoria provides fitness, friends and fun !

If I could choose, There'd be no prefects hovering round, And mistresses would not abound ; There'd be no work to waste our time, And life would be completely prime, If I could choose. If I could choose, There'd be no school to think about, And things would be just great, no doubt; There'd be no getting up at six, Because of school things yet to fix, If I could choose. If I could choose, Our life would be extremely gay, And we could play around all day. But lives of pleasure lead to hell, And so I think it's just as well That I can't choose. Jennifer Bickford (14 years).

EDUCATION Education aids every nation, In industry, commerce and future creation ; Schools are built from coast to coast, For every child to learn the most. We owe much to our teachers, who Encourage us at school to do Things that one bright day may be Written in our history. Universities, too, are grand, And they are needed in every land. Students come from far and near To learn our ways and see and hear, Returning home they hope that they May show their folk the modern way. Every land is proud to see Executives of high degree.

Alison Hastie (16 years).

IF I COULD CHOOSE If I could choose, There'd be no school five days a week, And we could other pleasures seek, There'd be no doing prep. at night, And keeping novels out of sight, If I could choose.

Sport is education, too, And children need it all year through. Champions all have been to school, And prove they've learnt the Golden Rule. We have men of many a trade, And great advances have been made. Science has achieved so much, Machines will work at just a touch.

39

THE LUCERNIAN The world would be so far behind If men for knowledge weren't inclined. We'd have no doctors with success In bringing health and happiness. Flight in space would be unknown, We wouldn't have our telephone. Just think how this whole world would be, If school were not compulsory. Carolyn M. Cassidy (11 years). THE GILBERT ISLANDS These coral islands are situated from about 4 deg. N.-3 deg. S. in the Central Pacific. On my arrival there in 1954 I was five years old. We were to live on one of the main islands called Betio, which is about a mile long and half-a-mile wide. The people, with their jet-black hair, brown skin, white teeth and happy smile, gave us a warm welcome. During the five years I was there we lived in a taba house. The taba is the centre stem of the palm leaf. The roof was made of pandanus thatch. The equatorial climate made it possible for us to swim all the year, so we learnt to swim very quickly. Having a canoe was also great fun, and we spent many happy hours in it. We picked up the Gilbertese language from our little native friends, who taught us to make some wonderful things with the various plants that were available. Coconut trees grew abundantly all over the islands, so whenever we were thirsty or hungry, we just had to climb a coconut tree for a healthy and hygienically-packed snack. Because my father was a master mariner, we could go with him to the outer islands and collect copra. The only other white people on these islands were usually the missionaries. Sometimes the islanders would give feasts in our honour. The food was usually the native food, which consisted of coconuts, fish, bread fruit, pawpaws, bananas, pork, octopus, crabs and sometimes long white worms obtained from the sandbanks.

After a feast, a bateri or native dancing, as it was called, was held. We all joined in and were given leis and grass skirts to dance in. We went to Fiji a couple of times, to Canton Island, Ocean Island, Nauru and the Solomon Islands. These places were very interesting and their peoples were quite different from each other. My five years up there were very interesting, but the lack of education prevented us staying there. I hope to go back again some day. Fiona MacAdie (13 years). LIVING Living is composed of little things, Woven into a cloth of life, The joys and pleasures of every day, The sadness, disappointment, strife, The warmth of sunshine, the smell of hay, The taste of hot tea in the morning, early, The sound of crickets on a summer night, The smell of steak in the evening, frying, The sound of the wind, in the darkness, sighing, The sight of seagulls, in the wind, soaring, The scent of flowers after rain. We live ever in the future, " When I am grown," says the child ; " When I am a man," says the boy. But the whens are uncertain, the future may tear And life may abruptly finish—to-morrow, Next week, or next year. Or, when we arrive, the future is not there. Looking back, we ask, " Where is yesterday ? " Gone—with the dust and ashes of time Into Eternity—and we are left With emptiness and wasted hours. We learn, Too late, life is in the living Of every day and hour. Marianne Roszbach (17 vears

THE LUCERNIAN MY DREAM

My dream is of Tomorrowland, With glistening beaches of golden sand, Houses of marble tiers so high And mountains green, they reach the sky. Larders full of duck and turkey, Seats whose springs are so jerky, With feather beds so high and light, And sheets and pillows pink and white. A place where nobody goes to school, Instead, they fish in a quiet green pool, A place where rabbits are as tame as tame, And no one may shoot the wild game. Birds that sing from morning till night, Flowers that always look fresh and bright, Trees so green, with slender trunks, Beautiful abbeys with singing monks. But today is today, I'm sorry to say, And tomorrow seems never to come, But I'll be off to Tomorrowland As soon as today is done. Anne Clutterbuck (11-1 years).

YOUTH GARDEN PARTY AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE On March 24th I had the privilege of representing the Geelong Branch of the Y.W.C.A. at the Youth Garden Party at Government House. It was a wonderful experience. Many different clubs from all over Victoria were represented. Eight of us went there by train, and when we arrived in Melbourne at 9 o'clock, we were entertained at the Y.W.C.A. National Headquarters by Miss Brookman and Lady Johnston before leaving for Government House. At ten o'clock we left in several cars. After we arrived at Government House the band played the National Anthem, and then we went off in groups in the beautiful gardens. The first display was a band parade by the Salvation Army. Some sailors did exercises with swords Then we watched a in their hands. model aeroplane display, and after that we had morning tea. But there was still something more exciting to come—the R.A.A.F's outstanding display. They had fixed a rope from the tower down to the

ground, and gave a cliff descent demonstration. The last man to descend was dressed like a Girl Guide. After the demonstration was over, Sir Dallas Brooks and Sir Malcolm Sergeant, the English conductor, thanked us all for coming and said they hoped we had enjoyed ourselves very much. After the Garden Party my friends and I returned to Powlett Street, where Mrs. Brett talked to us about girl citizens and our own local activities. By the time that finished, it was five o'clock, so we were pleased to catch the six o'clock train home to Geelong. My mother met me, the other girls were met by their parents, and after an enjoyable day, we arrived home tired but happy. I shall never forget this excursion to Government House. Maureen Thompson (14 years).

AUTUMN LEAVES Golden, red and russet, Orange, green and brown, See the leaves afalling, Gently drifting down, Rustling, crackling, 'Round my feet, Along the pavement, Up the street, Gathered by the gardener Neatly put in heaps, There standing fascinated, Watching as the fire leaps, I pause a moment On my way, Home from school At the close of day. Susan Taylor (9 years).

ANNOYANCE With anxious heart I search for you, My precious time goes sailing by, I look around for sign or clue, And in the corner of my eye I think I see you in the crowd. But some low monster twice the size, With faster drive and greater strength, Sweeps past me, deaf to all my cries, And hides you from me by a length, I back away, my temper rising, Quite annoyed, he had no grace, To take the only parking place. Anne Shrimpton (16 years).

THE LUCERNIAN FIRE IN THE FOREST

What a calm day it was. The trees whispered to one another as they rustled their branches and the daisies laughed as they watched baby blackbird take his first flight. The bluebells tinkled gently and everything was peaceful. But in his den the Fire-god, Ares, was at his tricks again. He was plotting against the Forest, which he hated, and was planning to set fire to the whole of it and burn it to the ground. Ares was a fearsome sight. He had fiery red hair and black flashing eyes, with a long flowing robe of red and orange. As for his cave, it was splendid. Twenty torches lit it, and a roaring fire was on the hearth. Red and yellow was his carpet and his bed was bright orange. Very soon Ares began to work. He gave each of his sprites a burning brand and set them to lighting the undergrowth while he lit the trees. The snowdrops saw them coming and shook with rage. The thorn bush pricked its thorns out as far as it could, and the bluebells stopped tinkling. Soon smoke poured out of the forest, and flames licked the moaning branches of the trees. "Aha! " hissed Ares. " I have my revenge at last ! " But that was not so. Riding through the air on her white steed and in her flowing draperies was the Rain-goddess, Minerva. A miracle ? No ! She just happened to be there, and how fast she worked. The flames died out and soon the only sign left of the fire was the charred branches of the trees and the singed grass and bushes. How glad the Forest was and how ashamed Ares was. He slunk back to his cave, and he never troubled the Forest again. Minerva was the heroine of the day, and the Forest looked upon her as the most wonderful person it had ever set eyes on. Soon after the Forest was beautiful again, with fresh grass shoot-

ing up and the flowers poking their heads through the soil. All was peaceful once more. Lorelle Champion (12 years). THE BUSH

The sky reddened As the dusk grew near, And the shadows longer than before ; The animals grazed As the camp went to rest And the sun was seen no more. The stars came out, Bright in the sky, The moon was as large as ever ; Then the dingoes howl, And the foxes prowl, And the bush is as secret as ever. The dawn glowed In the morning air, The camp rose from tired sleep ; The river splashed As the people crashed Into the great blue deep. C. Moreton (12 years). A MYTHOLOGICAL PROBLEM Once upon a time there lived a very ancient king Whose name, I think, was Oeneus. Of him the poets sing A strange, horrific, fearful tale about a prince of pigs. The story's set in Calydon, where 0 maintained his digs. Calydon was a wealthy land, and in this certain year The harvest was remarkable, with all the corn in ear, And every tree weighed down with fruit so that the branches groaned. King Oeneus was full of joy, and thankful prayers intoned To all the gods and goddesses whom he could think to name, And, following his words by deeds, gave offerings to the same. Alas ! In his unthinking haste Diana he forgot, Which roused the huntress to a rage, and she began to plot.

42

THE LUCERNIAN

She said, " Well, I'm unhonoured,- but revenge I'll not forgo, I'll send my pig, my faithful slave, to Calydon below." A pig! The reader roars with mirth. But, reader, listen still ! This pig was an enormous one, and really out to kill. His teeth like tusks of elephants, his breath a hissing flame— He felled the trees like tenpins and enjoyed this little game So much that he proceeded to the pastures and the crops, And to the eyes of farmers brought a thousand salty drops. " Ehew ! " they cried while scurrying from the country to the town, " Until I'm safe behind a wall, in peace I'll not sit down." At last the Prince of Calydon (Meleager was his name), Began devising ways and means this wild beast to tame. He gathered many lusty men, and one young lady, too, Into a band to teach that pig his wicked ways to rue. (The girl was Atalanta, and a most athletic type. She and the prince, of course, began some sentimental tripe), Meanwhile the piggy ran amok and, chased by all the gang, He dodged, and rushed, and snorted, till the airy welkin rang. Many a spear was thrown in vain towards his bristling flanks, And Greece lost several gallant sons from Meleager's brave ranks. Till, finally, as usual, a lady won the game, And Atalanta's arrow was the first to find its aim. The sight of blood enraged the men, who threw their weapons round In such a way the Monsieur Pig was far from being downed. Diana's triumph, however, was not allowed for long, Prince Meleager soon spiked the pig with his unerring prong. Then jabbing both his knives into its flanks, to make quite sure

That it was dead, and all the ground was sprinkled with its gore ; The hero proved that he, a prince; was human after all, And gave its head to Atalanta for her bedroom wall. Moral : Don't go giving thanks to those to whom your thanks are due Until you've swotted up the current copy of " Who's Who " ! Susan Bickford (16 years).

MUSIC AND ALL THAT The equipment of the music-lover is very simple, all one requires is a pair of ears. When listening to music, the ears should be allowed to stay in their natural position, and need not be cocked, moved around, or, in the case of those abundantly blessed with auricular appendages, flapped. Those who belong to the creative and interpretive classes require, in addition to two ears, at least five fingers. These are needed for five-finger exercises, which is the first rung on the musical ladder. Music is written on five lines one for each finger of the Five Finger Exercise. The top line of music is played with the right hand and the bottom with the left. This is simple enough, surely. However, in some pieces the top line is played with the left hand and the bottom with the right. This necessitates crossing one hand over the other. It looks awful ty difficult and clever especially if you ge t so tied up that you cannot change back. FOLK SONGS These are sung by folk. They (the songs, not the folk) are divided into schools. First of all we have the heynonino school: With a hey and a ho, And a hey nonny no, And a hey nonny nonny, And a hey nonny nonny, And a hey nonny nonny, Nonny, no (repeat ad lib).

43

THE LUCERNIAN Then we have the Fa-la-la school: A lad had a lass, With a fa la la la - la, la, la, la, la, With a fa la la la - la, a, a, a, la, (Repeat ad nauseam). A variation of this type is the fol-derol school. Another type is the Hey, ding ding: Hey, ding a ding a ding, Swete byrdes love the Spring, Hey, ding a ding a ding, Hey, ding a ding a ding, Hey, ding a ding a ding, Swete byrdes love the Spring. (Please do not repeat). Other variations include, Ah ! lackaday, the Tra-la-la and Ta-ra-ra boom-de-ay schools. Anyhow, don't learn those or you might be getting on everybody's nerves.

Composer. To conclude, just a few words about one notable musician, If you wish to namely, Beethoven. shine as a Beethoven enthusiast, always refer to him in numbers. For instance, if a man says to you, " Do you like the seventh ? " say triumphantly, " Yes, but what about the third ? " He will then probably say, " But surely the ninth ! " Whereupon you rejoin, " Not a patch on the fifth ! " But for goodness sake keep your numbers low. Don't mention anything about the forty-fourth, because there isn't one. Conclusion. I do hope I have succeeded in widening your knowledge and imparted to you a deep insight into the wonderful world of music. After all, that was the purpose of writing this. Aenone Horne (16 years).

in which Morongo was so interested. In all these activities we have had an excellent leader in our President, Marjorie Reeve, who has given so unstintingly of her time and energies, and for this we thank her. The Committee, too, has worked very hard, but when the results are good, then it is pleasant work. Nevertheless, the members of the Association do thank them warmly for their interest.

ANNUAL REPORT Once again we are approaching the close of the year, and it is time to present another Annual Report. 'The year seems to have been a busy one, full of interest and activity, which was stepped up to a greater degree by the St. Hilda's College Building Appeal,

REUNION The -Annual Reunion and Meeting was held at the School on 18th November, when members met at the Junior School for afternoon tea before adjourning to the Gertrude Pratt Hall for the meeting. All were very pleased to have Miss Pratt and Miss Shaw present on these occasions. At the dinner which followed, our guests included Miss Shaw, Miss Pratt, representatives of the School Staff, the prefects, and our friends from The Hermitage, M.L.C., P.L.C. and Melbourne Grammar.

THE LUCERNIAN MANNEQUIN PARADE

Held on 2nd March, the parade which was sponsored by Lucas', was an outstanding success and the hall was a delightful setting. All tables were filled, and financially the Association benefitted to the extent of over £100. Our thanks are due to Mr. Johnstone and the mannequins, three of whom were Old Collegians.

annual gathering. Much to everyone's pleasure the team tied for second place with St. Michael's C.E.G.G.S. Congratulations ! We expect you to win next year! ATHLETIC SPORTS Although again unsuccessful in this event, we were very pleased to be represented on Sports Day. We will surprise them all one day.

SWIMMING SPORTS On the 8th March Dianne Batten, Diane Longwell, Pamela Erskine and Alison Laird swam for the Old Collegians at this annual event. We did not win, but were pleased to be represented, and hope to win next year. GARDEN FETE March 17th was of two minds so far as the weather was concerned, but, fortunately, the day improved, and the Fete was its usual good success. The erecting of the stalls near the Junior School and the Dining Hall proved a good move, and people seemed to patronise the stalls to a greater degree. £225 was our portion of this effort. STAFF ENTERTAINMENT The President, Committee and some of the members entertained the Staff to a picture night at the Pix Theatre, with supper in the foyer at the close of the films. It was a great success, and all enjoyed the informality of the evening. " SUN " TENNIS CUP Thanks to Nola Longwell, we fielded a team in this annual inter-schools' event on 24th March. Although the girls did not get into the finals, they had a very good day, with some excellent tennis. " SUN " GOLF CUP On 2nd April Marjorie Reeve, Audrey Gillett, Marjorie Carroll, Peg Roydhouse, Marjorie Henshaw and Jessie Penney represented the Association at this

AT HOME On 25th May the annual At Home was held for the first time in the Gertrude Pratt Hall at Morongo. Miss Shaw and Mr. and Mrs. Hirst received the debutantes, and. although not on such a large scale as other years, the evening was very successful. The weather was kind and the whole setting and atmosphere was one of enjoyment. ST. HILDA'S BUILDING APPEAL Miss Shaw was Regional Chairwoman of this appeal, and the whole of Morongo enthusiastically supported her. The Old Collegians held a luncheon at " Two Bays," Torquay, by the kind courtesy of our President. It was a delightful function, and we were able to hand over £50/17/- to the appeal. Congratulations to the girls of the School for their very grand effort for this appeal. CHARITY FUND The stall held at the Reunion raised an amount of £14 for this fund. OPEN MEETING As arranged at the last Reunion, an Open Meeting was held- in the Junior School on Friday, 8th June. The response from members was disappointing, as, apart from the Committee, there were only about 12 others present. At this meeting it was voted to hold a Dinner Dance at Kirrewur Court during the second half of the year. An approach was made to the School Council for permission to have a liquor licence

45

THE LUCERNIAN on this occasion. On this question the Council felt that the Old Collegians' Committee was aware of the difficulties faced and expressed confidence that a balanced and reasonable decision would be arrived at and that any function would be conducted along proper lines. NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN Our representatives on this Council are June McColl and Dorothy Ruxton, and they report back to the Association after each meeting. COMBINED OLD GIRLS' CLUB The first and only meeting for this year was held on 9th October at the Nurses' Memorial Centre, St. Kilda Road. Two of our members were present. BRANCHES Melbourne A very successful reunion was held at McKewan House during April. An excellent attendance enjoyed meeting together for a chatter and supper. The next meeting was on 15th October, and it is planned to hold the Annual Church Service at Balwyn Presbyterian Church on 18th November at 7 p.m. It is good to find a continued interest at this point. Western District This Branch always begins the year with a Church Service, and this was held at St. Andrew's Church on 25th February. Miss Shaw and Jean Rentoul were present. At the close of the service a delightful luncheon was served at the Colac Motel. The motel was chosen as the venue for the Annual Meeting, which was held on 15th October, and at which the Geelong Committee was represented. Goulburn Valley Branch It is with great pleasure that we welcome our new branch to our circle. On 18th August Miss Shaw, Marjorie Reeve and Jean Rentoul journeyed to Sheppar-

ton for the inauguration meeting of this branch. Thirty-nine members are on their roll. Marjorie Reeve declared the branch officially formed, and Miss Shaw took the chair for the election of officebearers. Jean Fish is the first President. The branch hopes to have a Church Service later in the year. The Association expressed good wishes for success and happy reunions. GENERALLY It is very gratifying to the Committee to feel the pulse of interest flowing through the Association as a whole, and the continued support of the branches is a great incentive to the parent branch. We extend our grateful thanks to all who have in any way assisted us during 1962. Each year brings new interests and wider fields, and it is only with this assistance and interest that the Association can progress. Miss Shaw is always ready to give advice and take her place as our Patron, and we do appreciate her help. To Miss Jacka and the domestic staff we are again indebted, and to Mr. Geoff Neilson, who so graciously audits the books, we say " Thank you." As the Association grows, it is harder to keep in touch with members—many have become engaged, have married, or have welcomed little ones to their homes. and to these we extend our best wishes. To those who have been touched by sorrow, including our own President; we extend our sincere sympathy. One of our early Committee members, Edith Beach, was called to Higher Service during the year, and to her family we express our deep sympathy. With the year coming to a close, we wish our members much happiness during the festive season, and we extend the hand of friendship to those girls who are leaving Morongo. They have had the privilege of being members of a great school, and we know they will join the Old Collegians' Association and support Morongo in the years ahead. Jean A. Rentoul, Hon. Secretary.

Melbourne Branch of the Old Collegians' Association held two Reunions during 1962, the first being on April 16th at the Business and Professional Women's Club. We were disappointed that neither Miss Pratt nor Miss Shaw was able to be present, but the 80 girls present. spent a very happy evening renewing old friendships and talking over schooldays. The second reunion, also at the Business and Professional Women's Club, was held on October 15th, and although the attendance was down, the evening was most successful. We were delighted to welcome Miss Shaw and to hear the interesting news she had to tell us of events at the School during the year. Unfortunately, due to ill-health, Miss Pratt was again unable to be with us. On August 20th we held a very successful " Hat Parade " at " Kingsclere." Despite very poor weather, there was an excellent attendance, and as a result we were able to send Miss Shaw i45, to use as she wished for the School. Our thanks go to Madam Margot Breznev, who very graciously supplied the hats ; to the Elly Lucas School of Elegance, who provided the mannequins ; and to Erica Johnson, one of our Old Collegians, who arranged the parade. November 19th is the date of our Annual Church Service, to be held at St. Columb's Presbyterian Church, Banool Road, Balwyn, at 7 p.m. We extend a cordial invitation to all Old Collegians to attend our reunions. The first one for 1963 will be in April, but the actual date has not yet been arranged. Any Old Collegian wishing to attend can obtain further details from Netta Bowring (phone 85-9557) early in the New Year. Netta Bowring, Hon. Secretary.

Carr and her partner. Another dance is planned for later this year. We were happy once again to have Miss Shaw and Miss Rentoul with us for our Annual Church Service, held at St. Andrew's, Colac, in February. This was well attended, and we were led in worship by Rev. Hastie, Deaconess Margaret Yates and Glenys Drayton. A luncheon at the Motel followed the service. In May, Mrs. Drayton and Glenys kindly showed us coloured slides of their trip to Japan at a social evening held at their home. Once again, everyone enjoyed hearing about Japan, and we are indeed grateful to the Drayton family not only for their talks but for having us at their home for this evening and our meetings. Our sympathy is extended to those whose loved ones have moved into God's nearer Presence during the past year. To those who have welcomed little ones to their homes, congratulations ; best wishes to those who announced their engagements, and congratulations and best wishes to Flora McDonald and Shirley Lang, who have been married. Meetings this year have been poorly attended, but we hope these will improve, but my thanks go to those who btaved the elements on rough nights to attend. Thank you all for making my term of office a happy one, and thank you to Judith and Glenys for their unfailing support to the Old Collegians. As yet another year draws to a close let us look forward with new zeal to the future, and I know that you, as members of the Old Collegians here in the Western District will continue to give all the support you can to your officebearers and to Morongo. Una McLeod, President.

GOULBURN VALLEY BRANCH s the result of the meeting of two Old Collegians at a C.W.A. gathering, it was decided to arrange a "Get-together" early this year. This was held at " Mandalay," Shepparton, and 15 Old Collegians came along and all enjoyed meeting old friends and making new. There

were several present who attended Roslyn, ranging down to girls who had just left the School. A second gathering was held on May 24th at Scots Church Hall, Shepparton, and it was decided to make formal application to the parent branch for permission to form a branch in this area. All present signed the letter. Miss Shaw, Mrs. Reeve and Miss Rentoul came to a meeting held on August 18th, and the branch was formed. The following office - bearers were elected : President, Jean Fysh ; VicePresidents, Emma Tweddle, Jennifer Currie ; Secretary, Heather McDonald ; Treasurer, Gwen Bradshaw. A Church Service, followed by a Luncheon at the John Pick Gardens, Lake Victoria, Shepparton, has been arranged for November 25th. It is hoped there will be a good attendance. Any Old Collegians in this area who would like to join our branch would be most welcome. The formation of any new branch is a venture, and I sincerely hope all will give their support. In conclusion may I wish all members the compliments of the season and success in 1963. Jean Fysh, President. OLD COLLEGIANS PRESENT AT FIRST MEETING Fysh, Jean, Iron Park, Dookie.

THE LUCERNIAN

Congratulations to the new Goulburn Valley Branch, who have started with a possible membership roll of 47. This is a great start, and it was a great privilege for Miss Shaw, Marjorie Reeve and Jean Rentoul to be at the inaugural meeting. It can be seen from the addresses that girls came very long distances from all directions to be present. All branches join in wishing them happy and successful reunions. OLD COLLEGIANS NOTES (From the " Lucernian," Vol. 1, No. 1, December, 1921) We have much pleasure in contributing items to the School Paper so that each member and the present scholars may know the doings of the Old Collegians' Association. We have now close on 100 members—a very fine beginning to an association which is practically in the making, having lapsed in wartime. We are glad that our old College is connected with the new in this way, and would like to hear from any scholars of the Newtown Ladies' College who wish to join our Association, which is named " The Old Collegians' Association, Presbyterian Girls' College." These scholars must have attended the old School for at least one year. It is so hard to keep in touch with the old scholars. We have several new members, girls who have completed their studies at the P.G.C. Our full meetings during the year have been well attended and very successful. At the opening of the School tennis courts on 11th May, our members, at the wish of the Council, took charge of and dispensed afternoon tea, thus helping considerably towards the success of the function. On 17th June, in the School Assembly Hall, Mr. D. F. Griffiths talked to us about his travels in America, and quite carried us away with him to that wonderful country. His remarks were thoroughly enjoyed by all

present. At this meeting three of the School Council members came and talked to us. They thanked us for the assistance given, and said they hoped we would continue to boost our School and use our influence for its good. On 27th August, the Annual Reunion was held. This took the form of a " high tea," which was a very great success. About 65, including staff and prefects, sat down to partake of the good things provided. The School diningroom was taxed to its utmost. When tea was over, the Principal, Miss Pratt, thanked the Old Collegians and said she looked upon the meeting as a splendid augury for the success of the School, and congratulated us on our live association. Our President, Mrs. Geo. Robertson, also spoke. Miss A. C. Harris, the Principal of the old School, was unavoidably absent, but Mrs. Mountjoy (formerly Miss Ella Harris) was present. Again our members came to the fore on 1st October, when the School Fete was held, and worked hard on the refreshment stall, netting 127 towards the £400 taken that afternoon and evening. Our members have shown their capabilities in the art of preparing and dispensing refreshments at these functions. Any old scholar who wishes to contribute in any way towards the School, whether it be money for prizes or otherwise, may hand their donations to the Secretary. Our Association has decided to present the Dux Prize each year. K. M. Roebuck, Hon. Sec. (It is interesting to note that 40 years later the Association has grown to over 750 members, with branches at Melbourne, Western District (Colac) and Goulburn Valley (Shepparton). In 1921 65 of the members out of 100 attended the Reunion ; in 1962, 85 out of over 750 were present—not such a good average, is it ?).
