C911 Wie ill °pia on It is with sincere regret that we announce the death of Jessie Lilburne (Lowe). Jessie was one of that small nucleus of original pupils at the beginning of Morongo, or as it was then known as P.G.C. From the time she became an Old Collegian, she gave of her best in loyalty, energy, time and talent, for she loved her School and all it stood for. She will be missed by many, and the President and members extend their very sincere sympathy to her daughters, Pam and Diane, and to her husband and son.

THE LUCERNIAN

EDITORIAL Never has the need for scientists been greater than it is to-day, when more than a third of the people in the world are undernourished or starving, and every minute there are more mouths to feed. Since 1945, scientists have been experimenting with new methods of agriculture and animal husbandry, and because of their work, food production has increased slightly faster each year than the population. The difference between the two must be much greater before the world can be safe from famine. There is little scope for the swift genius of Rutherford or Einstein in the field of biological research to-day; the work mainly consists in careful experiment and laborious correlation of figures and facts. Progress is slow, and it is clear that if freedom from hunger is to be achieved in this generation or the next, we must have many more working scientists than at present. It would seem obvious that every potential scientist should be encouraged

to follow that calling, but this is not so for girls. From the very beginning, difficulties beset the woman scientist. As a child she is not expected to have scientific interests, and may even be discouraged from showing them. In girls' schools the emphasis is laid on the humanity subjects, and facilities for science are often inadequate or nonexistent. Because of this, girls find it hard to get into the quotas at university level. Each year women who could have made valuable contributions to research into food production are lost to science because of poor teaching and a general lack of social or parental encouragement. Society cannot afford to let this wastage continue ; if we are to be successful in the fight against the hunger in the world, we must have more scientists, and to achieve this, equal status and opportunities must be given to women in the field of scientific research.

COUNCIL NOTES The Late Mr. W. A. Bodey The sudden death of Mr. W. A. Bodey during the latter part of the year was a shock to all members of the Council. Mr. Bodey had served Morongo on the Council for twelve years, and his interest in the School had been constantly displayed through his contribution at meetings and his quiet help in other ways. Trustee Another friend of the School of very long standing whose death must be recorded is the late Mr. M. Y. Venters. Mr. Venters was an early member of the Council, and although he did not remain a member in recent years, he was

still at the time of his death a Trustee of the School. The Council appointed Mr. E. W. McCann as a Trustee in succession to Mr. Venters. Auxiliaries The Council has been interested in reviewing the gifts made to the School over many years by the various auxiliaries working for Morongo. The list is most impressive, and the Council is most appreciative of the continued help given by these hard-working groups. Fees Once again, owing to increases in teaching staff salaries, it was necessary to increase fees. The Council was able

THE LUCERNIAN to keep the increases within moderate limits, however, because of most economical administration. Buildings I t is expected that the classroom wing, incorporating a new science laboratory and a staff common room, will be completed in 1964. Investigations are still being made concerning the possible sewerage of Morongo, and it is hoped that this work will be undertaken before very long. The School is continuing to develop the top oval, hoping that this can

be made into a first-class playing arena with satisfactory facilities for parking cars and seating spectators, within a few years. School Success The Council continues to be proud of the achievements of the pupils in public examinations, sport and other activities. The standard of performance in all phases of school life is a tribute to the splendid work of the Principal and teaching staff. Morongo is particularly fortunate in having its destiny in the hands of such dedicated and able people. D.G.N.

PARENTS' AND FRIENDS' ASSOCIATION The Association has enjoyed the support and interest of its members, and thanks Mr. Austin Lucas for his enthusiastic and able leadership. The annual meeting, held at Morongo on April 23rd, was enlivened by the presentation of scenes from Shakespeare's plays by the senior girls, under Mrs. Cowperthwaite's experienced guidance. The resignation of Mrs. Goodall as Secretary was reluctantly accepted; her valuable services to the Association have been much appreciated. Office-bearers appointed for 1963-64 are : President, Mr. Austin Lucas ; VicePresidents, Mr. E. C. Laird, Mrs. P. Lowe, Dr. D. Taylor, Mr. H. Unsworth ; Hon. Secretary, Mrs. S. Blakiston ; Treasurer, Mr. C. J. Cowperthwaite. The Garden Party held on March 30th was a happy occasion, in spite of the rain and Dr. Taylor and his committee are to be congratulated on their hard work. Rain insurance helped the financial result of £830, £230 being allotted to each organisation — Old Collegians, Junior Auxiliary, and the Association—the balance to be set aside in the Garden Party Fund.

The social evening held in the Dining Hall early in the year to enable parents to meet Miss Shaw and members of the teaching staff, was again very well attended, and most successful. The first edition of the newsletter planned by the Association last year was achieved in July, and it is proposed to produce two letters a year. Mr. Hedley, assisted by Mr. Lucas and Mr. Scott, is to be congratulated on a very bright and attractive paper, which will be most beneficial to members. We will look forward with pleasure to subsequent editions of the " Bell Post Bulletin." We were extremely interested to hear from Mr. Laird at our August meeting of the Council's immediate and future plans for building projects for the School. The Library has benefited considerably by the donation of books presented by girls leaving school and other interested friends. The display of suitable books arranged at Hobbies Day was a great incentive to prospective buyers of books. We have decided to purchase a 'cello and two woodwind instruments for the use of the girls in the New Year.

THE LUCERNIAN

Date of the Garden Party for 1964 has been set for March 14th, and we are looking forward to the support and interest of all parents and friends. A theatre and supper party has been arranged to end our year's activities, and we are looking forward to an enjoyable evening. The Association warmly welcomes all parents to attend our meetings, and thanks Miss Shaw and members of the staff for their co-operation and interest. Gwen Blakiston, Hon. Secretary. SENIOR AUXILIARY The Afternoon Auxiliary of the Parents' and Friends' Association (Senior School) has continued to function very well this year. We have met regularly on the fourth Tuesday afternoon of each month in the Bible Class Room of the McPhillimy Hall at St. George's Church, Latrobe Terrace, and very happy meetings have resulted. Our syllabus has been most varied, and at the beginning of the year 40 of our members had a particularly lovely bus trip to Mt. Macedon, where we strolled through beautiful private gardens, which were graciously opened to us. As usual, we were ready to take our places on the various stalls at the Annual Garden Party, which was, even in adverse weather, both a social and financial succes. Also, early in the year we were able to share in a pleasant social evening in the School Dining Hall, when Miss Shaw and members of the staff were entertained. Our donation to the School this year will take the form of a trampoline, which is to be installed ready for use in 1964. Just as this " Lucernian " goes to press, our new office-bearers for next year have been elected, namely : President, Mrs. E. Snibson ; Vice-President, Mrs. M. Richardson ; Secretary, Mrs. J. Clutterbuck ; Assistant Secretary, Mrs. D. McDonald; Treasurer, Mrs. Payne; and a Committee of six members.

We would like to invite all mothers and friends of students at the Senior School to join with us next year and share in the friendship of members who have such an important common interest as " girls." In conclusion, may I express to Miss Shaw our sincere appreciation of her continued interest and support in our Auxiliary, and wish everyone connected with Morongo a very happy year in 1964. Enid Snibson, Hon. Secretary JUNIOR AUXILIARY It is with much pleasure that I present the annual report of the Morongo Junior Auxiliary for 1962-63. This year has been a very happy one for our group, under the very capable leadership of our President, Mrs. Cooke. We have welcomed a large number of new members, who have contributed much to the enthusiasm and friendliness of our Auxiliary. We are fortunate to have so many interested young mothers, and our group should grow from strength to strength. For those of us able to participate, the highlight of the year would undoubtedly be the series of six Friday mornings we spent at the Bowl-o-Matic. These proved a great success — certainly not from the scores most of us were able to obtain—but from the friendliness and fun we had with one another. It is hoped that other such informal gatherings can be held from time to time. Our meetings have been held on the third Tuesday of each month at McPhillimy Hall, Latrobe Terrace. This year we were able to use the Gertrude Pratt Hall for one meeting, after which Miss Shaw conducted us over the Senior School. Subjects covered by our meetings included a make-up demonstration, a talk on Home Safety, a travel talk on South-East Asia, and Miss Shaw. Our annual Kirrewur Court evening was held in April, when the staff were

THE LUCERNIAN invited to join with a large gathering of mothers for an informal evening of games. Once again we joined with Senior School parents, friends and Old Collegians for the Annual Garden Party, held in March. As a result of the fete our Auxiliary has been able to provide £200 for the purchase of Library books for the Junior School and Nursery.

On behalf of the Auxiliary we offer our sincere thanks to Miss Shaw, Miss Courtney and her staff for all their help and interest in our children. Thanks also go to all the members who by their willing help and friendliness have made 1963 such a happy year. I personally wish to thank the President, Treasurer and Committee for all their patience and co-operation. Pamela Taylor, Hon. Secretary.

SCHOOL NOTES At our first Assembly, on February 13th, Miss Shaw welcomed four new mistresses to the staff—Mrs. Pearcy, Miss Green, Miss Robertson and Miss Lewis. We have been fortunate also to have Deaconess Galbraith with us this year helping our Chaplain, Rev. K. McLean, with his Scripture Classes. At the close of first term we said farewell to our Sports Mistress, Miss Ferguson, who had been at school for over two years, and, in turn, welcomed Mrs. Kemp at the commencement of second term. On Tuesday, 14th May, a fund-raising effort for Community Aid Abroad took place in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. The Mayoress of Geelong, Mrs. McAllister, introduced Mr. Scott, who spoke briefly on his recent trip to India and reported the work being done there by C.A.A. An extremely interesting set of slides was then shown by Ian Urquhart, from Geelong College, who went to the U.S.A. on a Rotary Exchange Scholarship in 1962. The students present gained a very colourful and informative impression of American life from him and thoroughly enjoyed his interesting talk. In June an Inter-House Competition was held to raise money for the Freedom From Hunger Campaign, and the staff and girls together raised the very pleasing total of £240. In second term the Geelong College Drama Group combined with Morongo to present Thornton Wilder's play, " Our

Town," in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. The play was expertly produced by Mr. Mahar, from the College. Later on, the choirs of the College and Morongo combined to sing Handel's " Messiah," under the direction of Mr. Martin, from GeeThe long College, and Miss Blowes. choir was led by members of the Geelong Symphony Orchestra, and the four soloists were Miss Neilson, Miss Blowes, Mr. Purdey and Mr. Williams. A series of six University lecture films was shown at Geelong College in the late second and early third terms, and many senior Geography, Physics and General Science girls attended these instructive evenings. On the 4th August, for the first time, Morongo took part in HSV7's Parliament of Youth programme. Fifteen Matriculation girls represented the School, supporting the argument, " Is it always better to travel faster ? " Elizabeth Eaton, Shan Pearcy and Ann Thwaites were the three leading speakers. Our thanks go to the untiring School Council for providing us with the new toilet block, which has been in use from the beginning of this year. This building is an excellent addition to the School, forming the fourth side of the central quadrangle, and already trees are being cleared from the plantation to make room for even more extensions. Susan David.

THE LUCERNIAN

NURSERY AND KINDERGARTEN NOTES It could be said that this year has been an uneventful one. However, those most closely connected with the Nursery and Junior Schools realise that, though uneventful, it has been a most important and satisfactory one. For reasons unknown, the lower sections of the School could be described as " top heavy." The highest numbers for years have been cared for in these groups. Despite the numbers, the classes have worked very happily, and even more orderly and satisfactorily than usual. Parents who have realised the increase of enrolments have wisely entered their children as early as possible for future years. Due to the re-arrangement of grouping of classes the Nursery children have been brought nearer to the Junior School, and because of a visit to Bell Post Hill each term, the little ones have a better conception of life there, and are looking forward to their Christmas Party in the Junior School building. The staff and children in all grades are deeply appreciative of the continued interest of the Junior Auxiliary, and are most grateful for the gift of 1200 to be spent in books for the School Library. Many new books have already been bought and are widely used. A departure from usual was the entry in the Geelong Show- of exhibits in the Art and Craft sections. The results and prizes gained were so pleasing that more entries seem assured for next year. It was with pleasure, but a certain amount of regret, that we learned of Miss Chappell's engagement and forthMiss Chappell has coming marriage. given invaluable service to the Junior School, and it will be with regret that we bid her farewell at the end of the year. It will be with regret also that we wish Mrs. Baxter farewell. Time has arrived for her to leave us, and those

who have been in her charge know just how much she has done for them. To all those connected with Morongo we offer best wishes for the festive season, and we look forward with pleasure to another year.

HEAD PREFECT'S NOTES The Prefects and Deputy Prefects for 1963 were announced on Monday, 18th February. The Prefects were : Susan David (Head Prefect), Elizabeth Eaton, Heather Gray, Alison Hastie, Lesley Malin, Margaret Mann, Anne Ross, and Marion Smith. The Deputy Prefects were : Susan Bickford, Clare Bucknall, Vivienne Cumming, Felice Dougall, Dianne Ekstedt, Helen Gibson, Diane Miles and Ann Thwaites. The Induction Service of the Prefects took place on Thursday, 28th February, and was led by the Rev. K. McLean, the School Chaplain. On Wednesday, 20th March, with Miss Shaw, Alison Hastie, Heather Gray, Marion Smith and myself attended the Geelong and District Festival Mayoral Garden Party in the Eastern Park Botanical Gardens. The garden party served as a farewell of the citizens of Geelong to Sir Dallas and Lady Brooks before they left Australia, and we felt very honoured to be able to meet and speak with Lady Brooks for a short while. We were all sad to learn of the death of Mr. Young Venters, the last of the original School founders, and on Monday, 25th March, with Miss Shaw, I represented the girls of the School at the funeral service in St. George's Church. On Tuesday, 2nd April, I attended the Annual Presbytery Luncheon with Miss Shaw at Scots Church, in Geelong West. On two occasions in the first term Elizabeth Eaton and myself were present

THE

LUCERNIAN

at meetings in the City Hall connected with the British Commonwealth Youth Sunday observance in Geelong. At these meetings we met with other boys and girls from Geelong schools and organisations to discuss ideas on the annual observance. On October 29th I again attended a similar meeting, this time with Anna Shamblin, where the adult council planned the observance for 1964, aided by suggestions from the students. The Commonwealth Youth Sunday march this year was held on May 5th, and, as usual, the prefects led the girls from Sub-Intermediate to Matriculation in the march, which was followed by a Church Service in St. Giles' with the Geelong College Middle School. I was proud to lead part of the service for Morongo along with the Head Prefect of Geelong College, Mac Paton, and his fellow-prefect, Stuart Green. On Sunday, 30th July, the prefects met with prefects of the Hermitage, Clyde, Geelong Grammar School, and Geelong College at the Hermitage to discuss school dances with the Heads of these schools. The Annual School Church Service in St. David's, was held on October 6th, and was conducted by the Rev. McLeod. The offering was taken up by two prefects and the deputy prefects, as many of the prefects were in the Boarders' Choir, which led the singing this year instead of the School Choir. Elizabeth Eaton and I read the lessons. During the year the prefects have had a great amount of pleasure attending the School Dances at the Hermitage and the Geelong College in second term, and at Geelong Grammar School in third term. My thanks go to the prefects who have carried out their duties extremely well through the year, and who have been invaluable with their assistance in the organisation of seating and ushering

at the many functions in the School Hall, and in the planning of such occasions as the School Dance, which needed so much thought and co-operation. I would also like to thank the House Committee for their fine work in the Boarding House and especially to the Head of the House, Marion Smith, who has assisted me greatly and carried out her tasks so efficiently and capably with Miss Ohlson amongst the boarders during the year. At this point, it is fitting to mention the retirement of Miss Ohlson, the senior Geography mistress, from the staff. Miss Ohlson has taught at the School now for seventeen years, and for a great proportion of this time has been the Head of the Boarding House, a very demanding position, which she has filled superbly. She has always found time in her holidays to take groups of Geography students on enjoyable trips to places such as Tasmania, Hayman Island, Central Australia and Broken Hill, and has given up even more of her free time on Saturday evenings to show films to the boarders from a very temperamental projector. Her active participation in the Morongo life will be greatly missed when she leaves, and it is with regret we must say farewell to such a wonderful person. Undoubtedly the greatest and sincerest thanks must go to our Headmistress: Miss Shaw, for her unfailing energy and interest in each girl throughout this extremely busy and worrying year, and also to Miss Sutherland and the staff, who always display so much understanding and willingness to assist us in our work and interests. Finally, the Prefects and I wish to thank the girls of the School for their co-operation through the year, and hope 1964 will prove to be a most successful year for all of them, both at school and away. Susan David.

CHURCH NOTES This year most of the boarders have attended St. David's weekly. Also, in order that we may partake in the service, Mr. McLean suggested at the beginning of the year that we should choose a hymn every alternate week. The Anglicans this year have ceased to go to All Saints, and they now attend St. John's. The Senior School took part in the Youth March this year, then we attended the Youth Service at St. Giles. Our Head Prefect, Susan David, read the Queen's reply. The address was on " How to Pray." Eighteen of our boarders became members of the Church this year. These were : R. Blake, H. Brown, L. Campbell, D. Crick, A. Dehnert, D. Lee, K. Macon-

achie, J . Tucker, S. Dohnt, J. Haines, K. Funston, L. Goller, J. Tyrrell, L. Taylor, D. Dykes, A. Wills, P. Simson and J. King. Our School Service was held on the 6th October. The Boarders Choir sang the introit and anthem, " Praise God in His Holiness." We thank Miss Blowes for her patience in training the choir. The prefects and deputy prefects took up the collection and Susan David and Elizabeth Eaton took the readings. The guest speaker was Mr. McLeod, and he gave us a talk on " Being Prepared for Life." At the moment Mr. McLean is giving a series of sermons under the heading of "Are We Our Brother's Keeper ? " H. Lang.

HOUSE NOTES ARDENS " Seek Wisdom " This year's Ardens' girls have shown in their activities an understanding of our motto both in the classroom and on the playing fields. However, a minority have not always confirmed to this standard, and have hindered our progress in the work average and weekly debits and credits. During the first term the girls trained with enthusiasm for the Swimming Sports, which were held at the Lara Pool. They were well rewarded in gaining the Ena Miller Shield for first place. Our congratulations go to all those who participated, especially to our own champions, Dorothy Green, Elizabeth Davies, Elizabeth Wright, Ann Clutterbuck and Heather McKewan. The Athletic Sports resulted in Lawson winning the Margaret Shannon Memorial Cup, while Harris gave a very fine demonstration in the marching, and

we would like to congratulate both these houses. The winter term brought with it the annual inter-house sports of basketball and hockey. They were played with much excitement, and resulted in Lawson being victorious in the hockey and Ardens in the basketball. The baseball and ,tennis matches have not as yet been completed, but the baseball final between Lawson and Ardens will be played on Hobbies Day. The Freedom From Hunger Campaign met with a warm response from our girls, as they put their contributions into the house bottle. Our House Social was celebrated with Roslyn and our guest, Miss Shaw, when we had barbecued chops and sausages. It was a thoroughly successful evening. In all Ardens' activities I have had the help of our Mistresses, Vice-Captain Heather Gray, and House Sports Captain Dorothy Green, who have given me

cess of Harris depends on the enthusiasm displayed by all, and not a few, of its members. We thank the members of staff for the help and encouragement they have given. I would like to thank Marion Smith, our vice-captain, for her support, and Diann Winkler, Sports Captain, who has devoted a great deal of her time to the organisation of house practices, teams and matches. To those leaving Harris we extend our best wishes for future successes. To those returning, I wish a very happy and successful year for 1964. Felice Dougall.

HARRIS " Not failure, but low aim is crime." We welcomed twenty-five new members to our house this year, and it was pleasing to see how enthusiastically they entered into all house activities. Our congratulations go to Ardens for LAWSON winning the Swimming Sports, and to all the individual champions. " To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

In future years I should like to hear of Lawson shining in the " Debits and Credits " for a change, and I trust that you will maintain and improve your standards of unity. Thank you, all, very much for your loyal support. Alison Hastie.

ROSLYN We are judged by our deeds." Although this year has not been particularly successful for Roslyn, a great deal of enthusiasm has been shown by the girls in all activities, and with a little more effort from each member next year, results should be more rewarding. Our standard of work in the classroom is quite high, but the record of debits and credits has been spoilt by the attitude of a few. However, this term has seen a pleasing improvement, and we hope that this will continue. The first major event was the Swimming Sports, held on March 15th. We congratulate Ardens on their success, and the various champions. However, the girls swimming for Roslyn did not disgrace us, and we were very proud of

Heather Roydhouse, the Sub-Junior Champion. Lawson won the Athletic Sports, but owing to the excellent performances of our competitors, especially Jill Muller, junior champion, and the general attitude of the house, Roslyn came second. During second term hockey and baseball matches were played, the basketball shield being won by Ardens, Lawson winning the senior hockey shield, and Roslyn the junior hockey shield. Our juniors have been most succesful in the baseball matches this term, and I am sure the girls will give of their best in those still to be played. At the end of Term I house socials were held at school, and proved to be most enjoyable. After a barbecue tea with Ardens, the four houses combined to produce an entertaining concert. On behalf of the house I would like to thank the members of staff who willingly assisted us, Robin Johnstone, Sports Captain, who has given so much guidance and encouragement in all sporting activities ; and Bronwvn Freeman, for her help and co-operation. To those returning, I wish you a successful, happy year, and to all past and present members of Roslyn, always remember : " We are judged by our deeds." Elizabeth Eaton.

SPORT This year different kinds of sporting activities have been introduced to cater for all types of girls. As a result, there has been a wider interest and more enthusiasm shown in our sport. The School teams, especially the junior basketball and senior tennis, have played well and enthusiastically, and there seem to be many rising juniors showing promise for future years. Association matches were played against P.L.C., M.L.C., M.C.E., G.G.S. and The Hermitage. We were also able to play a number of social matches against schools not in the Association.

Inter-house and inter-form matches have been played, with the usual amount of determination and enjoyment being shown. Inter-form cricket matches have been played among the senior forms. The Swimming Sports held in the new Lara Pool, were a great success amidst ideal surroundings. We congratulate Ardens on winning the Ena Miller Shield for swimming, as well as the individual champions. The Athletic Sports, again held on the top oval, resulted in Lawson winning the Margaret Shannon Cup for athletics. Our congratulations go to this house and to the individual champions.

THE LUCERNIAN

On Fete Day, the juniors gave a vaulting demonstration in the gym. On Hobbies Day, senior baseball and junior tennis house matches and the final of the senior doubles championship are to be played. This is something different to the usual displays and should be enjoyed by all. This year School Colours were awarded to Felice Dougall, Alison Hastie, J ill Hodgson, Jan Park and Alison Read, and a bar to the School Colours was awarded to Dianne Ekstedt. They were given at the end of second term to allow the girls the pleasure of wearing them while still at school. In this year's Geelong and District fencing championships, we congratulate Eve Fadgyas, the only representative from Morongo, on winning the open ladies' championship. There have been volleyball, table tennis, quoits, cyclos and hookey tournaments this term to provide girls with additional activities for lunch-time, late bus and boarders' sport. A Sports Committee was formed, with Mrs. Kemp at the head and consisting of House and Form Sports Captains. At our meetings, a general discussion on school sport was held, and duties, such as checking out and in of equipment, tidying of the cellar and changing rooms and checking of tennis courts were given to various forms. I would like to thank Mrs. Kemp, Miss Ockles ton and Miss Ferguson for all they have done for Morongo's sport this year. I would also like to thank the House Sports Captains for the work they have done and the ground staff for the time they have taken to prepare the ovals and to mend broken equipment. To all girls returning I wish every success in the coming year. Dianne Ekstedt.

TENNIS REPORT Once again, the first senior team was successful this year in winning the premiership, while the second senior and junior teams had very pleasing results, each winning three matches. The fol-

lowing girls are to be congratulated on gaining a position in the senior first team : Felice Dougall (vice-captain), Jill Hodgson, Rosemary Stewart, Lorraine Smith (captain), Meredith Goding, Pamela Bartlett, Marion Smith and Jill Bartlett. On the second Saturday of third term, Mr. Lester arranged a mixed tennis tournament, which was played on the Morongo, Hermitage and Geelong College courts. The tournament proved to be very successful, and Jill Bartlett and Philip Watson are to be congratulated on their successful win. A social match against Clyde was also arranged to be played in November, but, unfortunately, it had to be cancelled. The senior, intermediate and junior championships are being keenly contested at the moment. This year, as a new feature, the final of the senior doubles is to be played as an exhibition match on Hobbies Day. On behalf of the tennis teams, I would like to thank Mr. Dickinson, who ardently coached the senior teams each Thursday morning, and also Miss Botterill, who arranged the tennis lessons. As most of the senior team will not be returning next year, preparation for the selection of next years team commenced early during second term, and the interest shown by many promising juniors has ensured the prospects for successful teams in the future. To these girls I wish the very best of luck. Lorraine Smith.

ATHLETICS REPORT On May 4th the annual Athletics Sports were held under ideal conditions. As usual, there was keen competition between the houses and traditional barracking was very enthusiastic, with several very close finishes. Lawson was successful in winning the Margaret Shannon Memorial Cup, with 2931 points, followed by Roslyn, with 206-i points, Ardens, with 174 points, and Harris, with 159 points.

Finally, our sincere thanks go to Miss Ferguson and Miss Ockleston for the interest they showed and invaluable advice which they gave us in preparation for the sports. Our thanks also go to the staff, who helped to make the day run so smoothly. Jan Park.

SWIMMING REPORT The Swimming Sports were held in ideal conditions at the McLelland Pool, Lara, on Friday, March 15th, a week after the heats. This year the Sub-Junior Championship was included for the first time.

Park) gained first place. The under 19 freestyle and medley teams both gained second place. Life-saving classes were again popular this year, and many girls gained awards. Already Mrs. Kemp is preparing for next

season by taking twelve girls to the beach for training after school. We would like to thank Miss Ferguson and Miss Ockleston for their assistance during the season. Dorothy Green.

BASEBALL REPORT Baseball practice for this season began in third term, 1962. Soon after school commenced this year, we started in earnest, and many new faces were welcomed. Our enthusiasm resulted in extra practice on Wednesday mornings being made possible for other teams. Our team for this year was : Pitcher, J. Moles ; catcher, S. McColl ; first base, D. Ekstedt ; second base, A. Read ; third base, J. Park ; short-stop, A. Hastie ; left field, B. Wotherspoon ; centre field, J. Speers ; right field, D. Jones. Unfortunately, the teams were not very successful, but we did provide keen opposition. We hope for improvement and more enthusiasm in next year's teams. Association matches began on March 9th with a match against P.L.C. We also played The Hermitage, M.L.C. and M.C.E.G.G.S. Junior inter-form matches have been played, and Remove II are to be congratulated on being premiers. In the inter-house matches Roslyn have won the Junior Shield and the senior section is still undecided. A highlight of third term's baseball was the Staff-Prefects match. The Prefects showed their sporting ability by winning 6-2. Our sincere thanks go to Miss Ockleston for help and guidance in coaching us throughout the season, and to future teams we wish every success. Dianne Ekstedt.

BASKETBALL REPORT This year the tasR of choosing a team was difficult, as we had lost five members from last year's premiership team. Those included in the first team were : F. Dougall, D. Ekstedt, A. Hastie, J.

THE LUCERNIAN

Hodgson, J. Park, J. Speers and D. Winkler. This team, despite all the hard practices, was not as successful as we had hoped, but we were by no means disgraced. Association matches played against The Hermitage, P.L.C., M.L.C. and M.C.L.G.G.S. had pleasing results in the J unior A and Senior seconds sections.

In the inter-house matches, Ardens were successful in the senior and Harris in the junior. We would like to thank Miss Ockleston for her help and encouragement throughout the season. The rising juniors show promise for next year's teams, and to them we wish every success. Dianne Ekstedt.

The annual inter-house matches were played with the usual fighting spirit, and Lawson emerged victorious.

SCHOOL TEAMS SENIOR

HOCKEY REPORT With the arrival of the winter term, the ovals suffered from the vigorous practice of the hockey players, who showed a keen interest. Mrs. Kemp and Miss Lewis trained the seniors, juniors and the Geelong teams with much enthusiasm. Our thanks go to them for their constant hell) and interest. The junior team came runners-up in their Association matches, while the others were not quite as successful. This year we played social games with Clyde, Geelong Teachers' College, the Old Collegians, Belmont High School, Queens, and the Wanderers. They resulted in great enjoyment both in the games themselves and the experimental barbecues. However, the energy of hockey was not all confined to the field, as we had an umpires' examination. Our congratulations go to Rosemary Lalor, Joanna Tucker, and Dierdre Permezel for obtaining A grade results.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES FORUM Forum meetings have been held during lunch hour every Monday. They were presided over by Miss Shaw and Miss Sutherland and were attended by prefects, house and vice-house captains, and form captains from Intermediate and Leaving. The purpose of these meetings was to discuss school activities, work, conduct, and general affairs, as well as to record the debits and credits. The members of Forum would like to thank Miss Shaw and Miss Sutherland for their continued help and interest throughout the year. Margaret Mann. SOCIAL SERVICE REPORT This year our Social Service began with a Red Cross campaign. A speaker

from the Junior Red Cross stressed the need for educational aids for children in backward countries. These were duly sent. As Junior Red Cross representative of Morongo, I took part in a guard of honour for the Queen during- her visit to Melbourne. The year's biggest campaign was for the Australia-wide " Freedom From Hunger " Appeal. By means of interhouse competitions we raised £240. Third term activity was the collection of warm clothing to be sent through the women of the University " Save the Children " Fund to children overseas. Mr. Brewer, of the Foreign Bible Society spoke to us about the translation of Bibles, and handed us a pennant in acknowledgment of our contributions to the society.

THE LUCERNIAN

Throughout the year we have collected stockings, stamps and bottle-tops. Individual forms have held fetes, and the regular form contributions have been made. The list of money raised and of donations made during the past year is printed below. I would like to thank Miss Evans for her guidance throughout the year and the girls for making the Social Service a success. Lesley Malin. SOCIAL SERVICE CONTRIBUTIONS Christmas Donations, 1962 s. d.

THE LUCERNIAN On the 15th and 16th August two performances of Handel's " Messiah " were given by the combined choirs of Morongo and Geelong College, under the direction of Mr. Martin. On the 10th and 16th October music examinations were held, and we congratulate those who did so well. On the 18th of October a combined Musical Evening was held at Morongo for Hermitage, Geelong College, Geelong Grammar and Morongo. Each school gave a few items, then everyone joined in for the Hallelujah Chorus. Two Music Club meetings remain— the annual Music Club party and the performance of Vaughan Williams' Folk Songs of the Four Seasons, by the Boarders' Choir, under the direction of Miss Blowes. On behalf of the School I would like to thank Miss Blowes for all the time and work she has given to improve the standard of music in the School, and also Miss Wadelton and the music staff. I would like to wish them good luck for more musical successes in the future. Joanna Tucker. MUSIC EXAMINATION RESULTS, 1963 Preliminary: Honours, L. Malpas, H. McEwan; Credit, A. Heard.

" MESSIAH " This year the School Choir combined with the Geelong College Choir to present an abridged rendition of Handel's sacred oratorio, " The Messiah," in the Gertrude Pratt Hall on Thursday and Friday, 15th and 16th August. Directed by Miss Blowes, we began to learn the various choruses early in March. Combined rehearsals of the choir of 125, conducted by Mr. Martin, were held during second term. Our thanks go to Mr. Martin for his guidance and help during these rehearsals, and also for the time which he, Miss Blowes, and the pianists devoted to practices with us. The performances included 10 choruses and such well-known airs as " He shall feed His flock," " I know that my Redeemer liveth," and " The trumpet shall sound." We were grateful to the members of the Geelong Symphony Orchestra, led by Anne France, and to the soloists, whose assistance and previous experience helped to make the production a success. The soloists were : Soprano, Janice contralto, Daphne Neilson ; Blowes ; tenor, Russell Purdy ; bass, Morris Williams. Capacity audiences thoroughly enjoyed both performances, and those who took part found it a memorable experience. All are to be congratulated on the high standard which was achieved. Robyn Baxter. DRAMATIC CLUB REPORT This year, on Saturday, 10th August, the Dramatic Club, under the guidance of Miss Apted, presented " The Man From Toronto," a three-act comedy by Douglas Murry. It tells of the complications of a young widow who is left a large fortune on condition that she marries a certain young man. To this end, she dresses up as her own parlourmaid when this young man unexpectedly pays a visit.

THE LUCERNIAN

The cast was as follows : Robert Gilmour, Elizabeth Bramley ; Martha (a maid), Sally Odgers ; Mrs. Calthorpe, Robin Wesley ; Mrs. Hubbard, Sally Dorman ; Minnie Hubbard, Alison Hutchins ; Mr. Priestly, Cecily Moreton ; Mr. Fergus Wimbush, Susan Eccles-Smith ; Ruth Wimbush, Jennifer Gowing; and Ada Wimbush, Susanne Brown. After the many hours of hard work put into the play, the attendance was disappointing, and we hope that the School will support us better next year. Our thanks go to Miss Apted for her continued patience in producing the play and we wish her every success in the years to come.

FRENCH REPORT During the Christmas holidays Miss Botterill attended the first " Cours de la civilization francaise " that was held for French teachers, at Noumea, New Caledonia. At the beginning of the year she was able to give us much interesting information about the island, and to show us the slides she had taken there. On the afternoon of July 20th, Miss Botterill took the Matriculation French class up to the Union Theatre to see Jean Anouith's " L'Alouette," produced by the Department of French of the The class University of Melbourne. studied the play this year, and found such a good production very valuable. The Alliance Francaise exams. for Geelong were held at Belmont High School on Saturday, August 17th. As usual, there were many entrants from Morongo, although numbers from the lower forms were limited this year. On Friday, October 20th, the Leaving and Matriculation French classes were taken up to Melbourne University by Miss Botterill, to the annual Schools' French Night. This was found an interesting and profitable night by all. We thank both Miss Botterill and Miss Evans for their guidance throughout the year, and especially for their assistance in preparing us for the Alliance Francaise exams. J. Debrett.

LIBRARY REPORT Again this year many improvements have been made in the Library. We would like to thank J. Peeman & Sons for the magazine stand, on which all our magazines can be displayed, and for the new cabinet for holding cataloguing cards. Mr. Fraser very kindly made new bookshelves and the Library is now

THE LUCERNIAN more spacious, with plenty of room for new books. It is now most attractive and a pleasure to study in. Two hundred books of fiction have been added to the shelves, and three hundred non-fiction. This year special attention has been placed on building up the Matriculation History. Earlier in the year we held a bookcovering competition. The results were very good, and the winning entries showed careful thought and originality by their designers. The winners were : Junior, Anne Clutterbuck ; Intermediate, Elizabeth Honey ; Senior, Susan David. During first and second terms Mrs. Clark, a librarian, and myself attended meetings in Melbourne conducted by the Children's Book Council of Victoria. These proved to be most helpful, as we learnt other methods of library organisation from the Melbourne schools, and discussed the merit of many new books. Last term, we attended a meeting at the Geelong College. This was most successful, and it is hoped that such meetings will be continued next year. Before closing, I must mention the invaluable service of Mrs. Clark, our She does a great deal of Librarian. work in the Library itself, and without her guidance it would not function as successfully as it does. I must also mention the enthusiasm and efficiency of the Librarians. The whole Library has been re-catalogued according to the Dewey System, making books much easier to find, and owing to their constant checking, few books have disappeared. We have received many gifts of books again this year. We do appreciate this gesture, and thank you all very much. Finally, our thanks go to Mrs. Cowperthwaite for her help and advice throughout the year, and we wish next year's committee as happy a term of office as ours has been. Elizabeth Eaton.

P. F. A. This year's P.F.A. activities began in February under the helpful guidance of Mrs. Shanks.

The office-bearers were as follows : President, Margaret Mann ; Vice-President, Helen Lang ; Secretary, Heather Gray ; Treasurer, Marion Smith ; and the Committee members were : Alison Dehnert, Helen Gibson, Kathrin Maconachie, Christine McKenzie, Vivien Notman, Anne Ross and Joanna Tucker. The membership reached seventy, and in October fourteen girls were presented with their P.F.A. badges. The main emphasis has been on mission work. We began working for the Service Exhibition early in the year, and quite a number of garments was sent away after being dedicated by the Reverend Murrell, who also spoke to us on the work of the Australian Inland Mission. In the second term two large boxes of clothing, toys, pencils and toilet articles were sent to the mission depot in Williamstown. At the end of the year we are going to send toys to Ernabella, as a Christmas gift for the native children. To broaden our knowledge on missionaries, Mrs. Shanks showed us slides on Karingul, a mission station in the Gulf of Carpentaria, and the Reverend J. Hazeldine told us about the problems confronting students in Korea. Other activities on our syllabus included visits to the Grace McKellar Home, Bible studies and discussions, and talks on Deaconess Training by Mrs. Shanks, and Antarctica by Mr. Elliot, of Geelong College. During the first term thirty girls attended a P.F.A. camp with Geelong College at Pt. Lonsdale, where the problems of automation and racial prejudices were discussed. We thank the Reverend E. McLean and Miss Shaw for making this possible. Later on in the term a dozen girls were present at a P.F.A. tea at St. David's, and in third term we had a barbecue. Our thanks go to Mrs. Shanks for her undivided attention in our activities. To next year's group we wish success, and hope they continue with renewed enthusiasm in the work of the P.F.A. Margaret Mann and Heather Gray.

THE LUCERNIAN

P. G. A. P.G.A. commenced in March under the leadership of Mrs. Shanks. The officebearers were : President, Margaret Shanks ; Vice-President, Joy Barber ; Secretary, Sally Dorman ; Treasurer, Janiece Burgin ; and Pamela Whiteman and Jane Hewitt were members of the Committee. During the year we made a rug from knitted squares, and collected money to send to an aboriginal mission station. As well as discussions, recreation took much of our time. We had a penny hike, a paper parade, slides and a barbecue. We would like to thank Mrs. Shanks for her help throughout the year, and we wish success to next year's P.G.A. Sally Dorman and Margaret Shanks.

DRESSMAKING REPORT The dressmaking classes this year have been most successful. The girls, under the supervision of Miss Blake, have designed and made some very good garments. A number of girls is doing dressmaking as a subject for their Intermediate and Leaving Certificates. On Hobbies Day, November 8th, one of the dominant features was a mannequin parade held in the Gertrude Pratt Hall, at which the dressmaking students modelled their garments. Among the garments that were modelled were many outstanding designs in lingerie, sports wear, afternoon frocks and evening wear, both ballerinas and long frocks. Miss Blake, with her guidance and help throughout the year, has been a great help to us girls. She can rest assured that her efforts have been greatly appreciated by us all. Heather Unsworth.

THE LUCERNIAN We must push on, be ever learning Of heaven and earth, yet still discerning. And so, dear friends of every station, Beware, when warned of your stagnation. I say to all, to servant and master, 'Tis always better to travel faster! CENTRAL AUSTRALIAN TRIP Saturday, 18th May : Twenty-six of us, with Miss Henderson and Miss Williams, departed for Alice Springs at 11.30 a.m. After a brief stop at Adelaide, we flew on to the Alice, to arrive at approximately 6 p.m., where a bus was waiting to take us to the Mt. Gillen Hotel. We were slightly stunned on finding that we were to sleep in tents, but later we decided it was rather a riot. However, Miss Henderson was even more stunned to find that her suitcase had been left in Adelaide. Sunday, 19th May : After an enjoyable breakfast, we left by bus for Ayer's Rock. Because of the recent floods, we had to make a detour, and we arrived some hours later than we otherwise would have. En route we stopped for awhile at the Finke River, which, having water in it for the first time in many years, was quite a phenomenon, and later we had lunch in the middle of nowhere. That night, after having a barbecue tea at Curtin Springs Station, with the aborigines singing tunefully in the distance, we arrived at Ayer's Rock Chalet, weary and travelworn. Monday, 20th May : On waking, we were greeted by the panorama of Ayer's Rock looming red in the sunrise. As we were all eager to conquer " Everest," we gobbled down our breakfast and set out for the Rock. However, on arrival a few of us, seeing the ascent and being bombarded with hair-raising tales of previous accidents, dropped out of the mountaineering expedition, and, instead, explored the caves at the foot. The others, returning from their climb, were very scornful of us, and

told us gloatingly of the marvellous view from the top. We then returned to the Chalet for lunch, and recovered from the exertions of the morning. That afternoon we explored the caves more fully and the photographers among us clicked happily at aboriginal paintings and rock formations, such as the Kangaroo Tail and the Initiation Cave. Pete Rankin, our bus driver for this part of the trip, was " persuaded " to have his photo taken. Later we went to Sunset Hill to snap the changing colours of the Rock as the sun was setting. Tuesday, 21st May: We departed for the Olgas, and when we arrived, nearly everyone, including Miss Williams and the ones who had climbed Ayer's Rock, managed to climb Mt. Bruce. When we descended, we found a delicious barbecue awaiting us, and Pete boiled the inevitable billy of bush tea. After this, the party explored the Valley of the Winds, a steep-sided overhanging valley with a cathedrallike atmosphere, emphasised by the wedge of light sandwiched between the darkness on either side. The bus-driver told us several fascinating legends concerning the Olgas. On the way back to the Chalet we stopped once again at Sunset Hill to have another go at capturing the magic of the Rock. Wednesday, 22nd May : After signing the visitors' book, we said our sad farewells to the friendly people of the Chalet, and to Ayer's Rock, and returned to Alice Springs. This time we were able to take the usual road. At Angus Downs we were mobbed by aborigines selling souvenirs, and there was much bickering and bartering. Our bus driver exchanged a tin of mixed vegetables for a souvenir, and the youths, who had no work as stockmen, asked him for playing cards, as they were bored to tears. While the young men of the tribe seemed fairly clean, we were repulsed by the filth of the old and the very young, who were covered in flies. It seems that the semi-civilized aborigines have much of their dignity

THE LUCERNIAN

and gain the worst of two worlds. We made another stop at Mt. Ebenezer, where some of us had a " two-bob " ride on a camel. Much later arriving at the Alice again, we moved back into our tents at Mt. Gillen. After unpacking we could do as we liked, some staying at the hotel for a swim, and others exploring the town of Alice Springs. That night a few of us, with some other schools, went to see slides of the Northern Territory. Thursday, 23rd May : As we were late leaving for Serpentine Lodge that morning, we had some time to kill ; so we strolled around the town, taking photographs of important or striking buildings, such as the John Flynn Church, the Flying Doctor Service Base, and the prison, which impressed us by its smooth green lawns and beautiful orange trees. When we returned to the hotel, the bus was waiting, so off we went. Not far out of Alice we stopped to look at John Flynn's grave, then moved on again. The bus driver had previously warned us of the extremely rough " roads," which were hard to find, as they were mostly rocky creek beds. On arrival at Serpentine Lodge we cleaned up and had tea. Friday, 24th May : On the way to Glen Helen Gorge we paused to admire the ochre caves. Here we were shown, by rock drawings, how to invite the men of a distant tribe to a corroboree, and how to tell their women to come along later bearing food. The colours of the ochre were fantastic —oranges, yellows, browns, reds and white. The red-centred Hibiscus, the emblem of the Northern Territory, also lent a bright spot of colour to the scene. Later we stopped at the Gorge, where we had a swim, and continued on to Ormiston to have lunch. Finding an old fishing line, a few of us tried our luck in a pool there, but only managed to catch one tiny " tiddler." The bus driver took us up the gorge to see Mount Giles. Along the way we noticed streaks of

multi-coloured marble, which filled us with wonder ; it was apparently a very high quality stone, but was not used to build the Flynn Church (which is inlaid with marble) because it would cost more to mine and transport it to the Alice than to import it from Italy. Saturday, 25th May : Saying Good-bye " to all at Serpentine Lodge, we left for Serpentine Gorge. There we had the experience of seeing Miss Williams and Miss Henderson being carried out to the raft by Doug., the bus driver, who then pulled it across the water. The rest of us were also slung over his shoulder and taken across to the other side amid jeering remarks from those who had already crossed. Making our way up the gorge, we were met by a smell which indicated that a family of dingoes had been there before us. After taking photographs of the steep and narrow snakelike gorge (from which it got its name) we returned to the bus and jolted on our way to Ellery Creek, where we had lunch. The bus then rambled back to the Alice and we were overjoyed to see signs of civilization again. This time we had rooms at the hotel and enjoyed a night of luxury. However, before going to bed, we donned our bathers, jumped into the pool, and splashed and sang madly, to the horror and astonishment of the other hotel guests, who doubtless thought us a pack of lunatics. Sunday, 26th May : At five a.m. we sleepily dragged ourselves out of bed and ate breakfast in a semi-trance. Everything loaded on the bus, we sped out to the airport through the dim light of dawn, sadly boarded the aircraft, and soon took off for Melbourne, taking our last glimpse of Alice Springs, pink in the glow of the rising sun. We would all like to thank Miss Henderson and Miss Williams for taking us on this trip and for being so long-suffering. We hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. Lee Goller and Jennifer Haines.

THE LUCERNIAN " OUR TOWN " " Our Town," by Thornton Wilder, was presented by the Morongo-Geelong College drama group on the 26th and 27th July. Mr. Mahar, the producer, chose the cast as follows : Stage Manager, David Wilson ; Emily Webb, Ann Thwaites ; George Gibbs, Jonathan Hosford ; Doctor Gibbs, Roger Cumming ; Mrs. Gibbs, Shan Pearcy ; Rebecca Gibbs, Heather Gray ; Mr. Webb, Hayden Wright ; Mrs. Webb, Bronwyn Freeman ; Wally Webb, Jeremy Simpson ; Howie Newsome, Terry Carney ; Si and Joe Crowell, Peter Mitchell ; Simon Stimson, Douglas Kitson ; Mrs. Soames, Vivienne Cumming ; Constable Warren, David Cole ; Sam Craig, Roger Nation ; Joe Stoddard, Chris Penna ; Professor Willard, Harvey Crane. Few would have thought that such a " polished " performance would result from that first meeting, and, least of all, those who listened to Mr. Mahar's dissertation on the merits of the play. The idea of miming all actions and of being a corpse in the last act was, to say the least, " challenging," and at many times it seemed impossible. Our attitudes towards the play were continually changing, and it was not until the Drama Camp during the May holidays that we began to get the " feel " of the play. Everyone agreed that that week of intensive rehearsals proved to be the greatest factor in its success. Now, instead of disorganised scenes, there was a sense of continuity, and at the end of the week we could almost identify ourselves with the characters. It was during this camp that Miss Shaw kindly offered to act as our chaperone. The actual performances were delayed until the end of July and because of this prolonged period of no rehearsals, we soon began to lose active interest in the play. However, the whole cast revived with the stimulus of the " extras " and the " Fingers Five." The responsive audiences on both nights helped us to appreciate much of the humour we had missed during rehearsals and also proved that a play

does not necessarily need elaborate props. and stage settings to be a success. A party in the Junior School, after the last performance, gave us the opportunity to present Mr. Mahar with a gift and to thank him for all he had done. Shan Pearcy and Bronwyn Freeman.

THE SCHOOL DANCE, 1963 The School Dance was held on Saturday, 8th June, in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. The guests were the Hermitage prefects and the boys from Geelong The Grammar and Geelong College. official party included Miss Shaw, Miss Ohlson, Miss Jacka, Mr. and Mrs. David, Mr. and Mrs. Coggin, and Mr. and Mrs. Davey. The hall was completely transformed with masses of orange, black and white balloons suspended from the roof and walls, and along the window wall chairs and tables were set out, the tables looking very attractive with black and white check tablecloths and floral centrepieces, with orange candles. The modelled black paper bats, with green sequin eyes and orange neckties, mysteriously disappeared from the walls after supper, only to reappear again on various walls of prefects' rooms and studies around Geelong! The evening took the form of a Programme Dance, which proved to be a very enjoyable way of meeting and mixing with people, but the success of the evening was greatly due to the enthusiasm and time devoted by many interested girls and the untiring help of the Morongo ground staff. Susan David.

ORIGINAL SECTION SKI SCHOOL Skiing in Australia has become increasingly popular recently, mainly due to the migrants, especially those from Germany and Austria. The National Fitness Council of Victoria has taken full advantage of the State's snowfields by establishing an alpine camp at Howman's Gap, situated three miles from Falls Creek. The camp was originally the property of the S.E.C., and is heated throughout. 1 t consists of a mess hall, dining-room and kitchen, a games room, recreation hall, ski equipment hut, and several sleeping huts near ablution blocks, which are adequately supplied with hot showers and drying rooms. Seven ski-schools are organised throughout the season, two of them for school students.

The week's programme included a variety of activities besides skiing, and These involved left little spare time. household chores, such as washing dishes for a three-course meal for ninety, cleaning, and preparation of lunches and vegetables. The camp had to be tidy before we set out for the slopes in three busloads at ten o'clock. Although only a three-mile drive, on occasions it took up to one hour and a half to complete, owing to the conditions of the roads, hence the necessity to give some of the transport a helping hand. In six groups of fifteen girls and boys we were given an hour's instruction in the morning by the camp group-leaders, who were physical education graduates with skiing experience.

tice and rollicking island tunes put one in tune with the calypso beat that is unique to Trinidad. The steeldrum originated when natives beat rhythmic tunes on all sorts of instruments, including African drums or even pieces of bamboo. This eventually led to the astonishing instrument fashioned out of an oil drum. The natives of Trinidad come from practically all corners of the earth, and each settled there for various reasons. Together, these people live in unity, preserving their own religious beliefs and customs. One could well describe the " Limbo " as one of their religious customs, which first originated in Africa and was brought over by the negro slaves. The idea of this dance is that the lower the dancer gets under the bar, without touching the floor with his body, the higher the spirit reaches their god. Due to intermarriage of these many races, it is not surprising to see a negro taking part in a Hindu or Chinese festival. Being superstitious, many of the natives who have been working refuse to go out into the rain or touch anything wet if a storm breaks, in fear of jungle fever. So, should it be a servant, one is left to do things for oneself. The high humidity also results in laziness among many of the servants, who just take the day off whenever they feel like it, or complain that they are not feeling well. The majority of native women are well-built, and wear gay colours and weird and wonderful eye-catching creations. The men, too, are quite colourful and the younger ones go for bright T-shirts, tapered slacks and " pointedtoes. Most take a keen interest in sports such as football, cricket, hockey and horse-racing. Local gambling clubs are run under the shade of trees and the natives' hot tempers often result in a cutlass attack. Although these people get unruly at times, they still live together in unity, regardless of class, colour or religion, as an independent nation of Trinidad. Anne Martin (16 years).

LA BELLE DAME AVEC TROP DE MERCI (With apologies to John Keats) Oh, what can ail thee, movie fan, Alone and palely loitering ? The picture's faded from the screen And no stars sing. Oh, what can ail thee, movie fan, So aimless and so bored with life ? The hero's won the heroine To be his wife. He met her on Hawaii beach, Full beautiful, a glamour girl, Her hair puffed out, her foot propped high, Her lash in curl. He made a pillow for her head, Inflating it with powerful blow; She looked at him as she did love, Her lids drooped low. He set her in his sleek sports car, And all day long saw not the road, For sideways would she bend and sing In " top ten " mode. She took him to her luxury flat, Made him exotic T.V. snack, And sure in accent American said, " Fresh from the pack." And there to persuasion she succumbed (Her form seductively saronged), And there he shut her black-rimmed eyes With kiss prolonged. And that is why our fan is here, Alone and palely loitering, His life seems dull and lacks romance, A dreary thing. Julia Debrett (17 years).

A CLASS EXCURSION The We left school early by bus. bus arrived earlier than Mr. Lucas, our guide, but at last he arrived, and he began to tell us a bit about what happens in the butter factory and what happens before the cream comes to the factory.

THE LUCERNIAN The cream is obtained by separating the milk. The cream goes to the factory and the skim milk is fed to calves and pigs. When separating, the cream is run into cans of convenient size for delivery. It takes about three days after the milk has come from the cow for the cream to be made into butter. After the cream has been weighed, sampled and graded, it is tipped into vats. We went inside and saw these vats. The next process is pasteurisation. The cream is heated to a temperature of 200 degrees F., held for a few moments for the feed and off-flavours to escape, and then rapidly cooled and conveyed to a holding vat. Here it is further cooled to a temperature of 45 degrees and held until the following day, when it is churned. The cream is conveyed to the churn by means of a cream pump and pipe. There are two churns—one holding half a ton and the other one ton. The buttermilk is drained from the churn and two pounds of salt to every one hundred pounds is added to make it tasty. By now the butter is very lumpy. It is churned for as long as half-an-hour to three-quarters of an hour. Butter can be packed in 56 pound lots or made into one pound pats for consumption. After we had learned all about buttermaking, we went over to the dairy, where another guide joined us. The milk produced in Geelong is absorbed in two ways—Firstly, for consumption as milk, and secondly, to provide butter-fat for butter manufacture. At Bacchus Marsh milk can be made into milk powder. Bottles are thoroughly washed before being filled with milk. There are about 13,000 bottles washed in an hour. After the bottles have been washed they go to the bottle-filling and capping machine, where they are filled and capped.

The material which the bottle-tops are made out of is aluminium and other metals mixed. This material comes from Sydney. About 6,000 gallons of bottled milk is produced daily. After the milk has been bottled it is placed in crates, put on trucks, and taken to shops. There are twenty bottles in each crate. After we had finished touring the dairy, our guides gave us a biscuit and a drink of milk. They also gave us some yoghurt to take home to our parents. I enjoyed my visit very much. It was very interesting. Wendy Katz (9 years).

THE STORM Ships are tossed, the heavens weep Into their burrows the beasties creep. For out of the cloud-stalls in the sky The wild storm horses are galloping by. Splendid coats gleaming, black as the night, Needing no word or whip, faster than sight. Fiery sparks from their rolling eyes flash, And fearsome sounds from their flying hooves crash. Rivers swell, a brave tree wails, The air is fanned by lashing tails ; Till a tempest fills the earth and sky, As the wild Storm Horses thunder by. • Judith Johnston (12 years). INSPIRATION, PLEASE Now holidays are over, and it's nearly end of year, And test exams. are finished, so we think we're in the clear ; We find that there's another thing that still remains unclosed— Our efforts for " Lucernian " have yet to be composed! It's very well for one to say to write on this or that ; To improvise a story—for example, on one's cat. Or else there's poems to be done by those especially bright—

THE LUCERNIAN

I must confess I find that these are easiest to write ! Besides, of course, there's parodies, for those endowed with brains, And some there are who preferably in modern verse take pains. The joys of these, I am afraid, are ever closed to me, Since those who write them are more smart than I profess to be ! I find the easiest thing to write a simple, common tale, But these are things that tend to turn the mistresses quite pale ; For venturing on the stodgy side, and usually boring, They're obviously the type of thing the teachers are abhorring! Abandon that, and start again. Sit down and scratch one's head. Why can't I write a parody on something that I've read ? Suppose I do what Coleridge did on something Wordsworth wrote ! No, that's no good, for I'm afraid I cannot play the goat ! I'm sure I was not made to spend my time on modern verse, Since when I try composing it, things go from bad to worse; For as with metre and with rhyme, I cheerfully dispense, I find that what I'm writing down is certainly not sense ! Exams. provide a topic which is very often picked; The world recounts her sorrows, and the way that she was tricked By heart-of-stone examiners. Perhaps I could do that! No, once again, I don't possess enough beneath my hat! I've sat and thought, I've scratched my pate, and now I know I can't. How can you possibly pretend that you are what you aren't ? When it comes to writing anything I'm really not too hot— In spite of all suggestions, thanks ; I think I'd rather not ! Jennifer Bickford (15 years).

" GEORGE " We once had a Hungarian gardener who was employed to do all the odd jobs about the house and garden. Being a very New Australian, he could hardly speak a word of English. The language problem was a very great one, and so " George," as we called him (because we had no hope of pronouncing his real name) carried about a little pocket-book of English and Hungarian phrases, and whenever he wanted to say something, he would point out the words in his book. George was rather a character to look at. He had a flat, plain, weathered brown face and long, loose limbs, with stringy, untidy black hair and moustache. George's big fault was that he hated work—of any sort. He much preferred to lean up against a post and try to teach me Hungarian. I am afraid it did not work very well. Whenever I said something correctly, his face would crinkle all over with delight and his huge soup-spoon mouth, revealing jagged and missing teeth, would try hard to split his face, while his bellow of joy would scare the cats away for miles. In the rare times he was working, he would sing his folk-songs in a rusty baritone voice, or try to whistle the tunes he heard on my mother's wireless. The dogs loved him, but my father did not, and after some time George had to leave. Only the dogs and I were sorry—he had been very entertaining! Robyn McAllister (15 years). SADDLING UP Saddling up—this, to me, is one of the most enjoyable and colourful things which I have ever done, and the expectation of the coming ride makes it even better. The horses are restless, stamping their hooves, swishing flies with their long tails, snorting, and altogether making things quite difficult. There is the sweet, spicy smell of newly-dropped manure, the old comfortable smell of leather, the friendly familiar smell of the horse itself and the intruding smell of human beings which really doesn't belong. The cold, sharp touch of the

THE LUCERNIAN freshly-polished bit, the sticky touch of the newly-oiled leather, the warm, almost hot, touch of horsehair, the impatient sound of horses champing on their bits, restless to be off ; the squeak of the girth and circingle being pulled tight and the scratching, harsh sound of the rough saddlecloth—all these combine to make saddling up a new and different experience, although I have done it many times in my life. Joan Gillespie (15 years). HORRESCO REFERENS I shudder as I relate. Adam bemusedly considered dislikes ; evaluating, fathoming gauging his inadaptation :— jitterbugs, Kibitzers, leprechauns, martinis, nudists, obnoxious psychiatrists, Quislings ridiculous surrealism, turpentine, unconscionable vagabonds, waffles, Xerophytic yellow zinnias. " Matriculation." GIRL AND HORSE Her hands are lost in the blowing mane, She leans forward, eyes clear and eager, With no restraint her horse extends— ears pricked. The flying hooves pound forward, Slashing curved cuts The flowing mane and tail Lifting to the rhythm of the gallop. The thudding hooves—the girl's second heartbeat, But much slower. She feels the power, the easy swinging gait, The rippling muscles beneath the gleaming copper flanks, And marvels. Elizabeth Honey (15 years).

HARVEST MOON Stern shadows, stark against the silver sky, The shapes of tree-tops blotting out the stars ; Soft shadows merging with the moonlit mist; Rare radiance of a Wonderland—moon kiss'd. Pale moonlight mirrored in a mountain stream Is scintillating in the splashing spray, And caught in crescents sparkling in the waves, And softly spreading peace o'er lonely graves. A silent stillness stealing through the earth ; The soundless space suffused with noiseless light ; The shimmering world sleeps, lying in a swoon, Beneath the splendour of a Harvest Moon.

YOUTH HOSTELS Australian visitors to Europe are often surprised at the youth hostels which they see ; among these, could be converted castles, mansions or even stables. The following descriptions are taken from letters which my sister Doreen wrote during her recent holiday in Europe. The first is a Swiss hostel named Hagin Castle, which was built in 1587. " The funniest features were the huge

THE LUCERNIAN

beds in the dormitories, a mattress large enough for five people below and five above, each with your own bags and blankets. The cooking facilities were very good, and the kitchen contained the old-fashioned type of stove. In the morning we had a look in parts of the castle, and we found several old fireengines dated about 1889, old leather fire-buckets, old scales and lots of old copper, which must be worth quite a lot."

Lay on, Macduff, for fail will he Who first cries, " I've had enough."

As a contrast to this, there was also a newer hostel at Gersaw, Switzerland. " This hostel was in a fabulous position overlooking the lake ; in fact, right on the edge, with an attractive swimming area nearby. It was a brand new hostel, with a dormitory between four of us. The view was magnificent."

Is this the "Age " I see before me, The pages fluttering gently ? Come, let me clutch thee. I dare not read it, and yet I know I must. That which hath made them drunk hath made me bold.

" In Holland, we arrived late at our hostel in Kostenholf, and as it was already full, with a school party, other arrangements were made for us. We slept in a gorgeous Dutch house, with the softest of beds, and after several hours on bikes, this was most welcome. The bedroom was papered in white, with the ceilings, beams and doors painted pale blue. There were also golden curtains and a frilly lampshade, and very suitable Dutch etchings and photographs on the walls. The kitchen was, as we expected, with wood panelling, a terrific set of canisters, and red and white checked frilly coverings for the shelves. R. Baxter (17 years).

In sooth I know not why I am so sad: It wearies me ; you say it wearies you ; But how I'll study it, digest it, and master it, What stuff 'tis made of, what use to me, I'm yet to learn ; A first, a first, my kingdom for a first.

What hath quenched them, bath given me fire. I'll need it.

To pass or not to pass, that is the question. Had I but died an hour before this chance, I had lived a blessed time. The quality of mercy has been strained, I faileth after many hours of toil With heat-oppressed brain : Prithee, be not dismayed. All the world's a stage, And all the students merely puppets. They have their ups and downs, And each one in his time plays many parts.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHTMARE

If I offend, it is with goodwill. That you should think, I write not to offend, but with goodwill. To show my simple skill, That is the true beginning of my end. When shall we forty meet again— In thunder, lightning or in rain ? When the hurly-burly's done, When the battle's lost and won, Then we'll laze beneath the sun.

The weight of this sad time we must obey, Speak what we feel, and not what we ought to say. The year has passed, with all its happy days. Now we must part and go our various ways. 'Twas a poor thing, but mine own. Elizabeth Eaton (17 years).

THE LUCERNIAN THE FISHING BOAT The fishing boat is coming in With the morning's catch, Snapper, whiting, even bream, Filling up the hatch. The crew are tanned brown by the sun, And smell of fish and scales ; Their lives to them are always fun, Through wind and rain and gales. Sea-gulls flying there and here, Swooping on the fish, While people gathering on the pier, Buy for a tasty dish. P. Wightman (11 years).

BRUMBY The horse lifted his fine head and gazed at me. His coat was brilliant chestnut, and his strong muscles rippled as he moved a long foreleg. He pawed the ground furiously with an unshod hoof, then galloped off to his band of waiting mares. His eye flashed white as he looked back at me, then he was off, bucking and prancing for sheer joy, while his beautiful golden tail streamed behind him. Leaping a stream, he came to a standstill a short distance away from me. His moist nostrils were quivering, his shining flanks were heaving and his velvety ears twitched back and forth as he eyed me curiously. I took a step nearer and raised my hand. I touched his long, soft muzzle, and with a high-pitched squeal he was gone.

OLD COLLEGIANS' ASSOCIATION Office-Bearers for 1964: President: Dorothy Ruxton. Senior Vice-President: Jennifer Heath. Junior Vice-President: Adrienne Solomon. Secretary: Beverley Williams. Assistant Secretary: Joan Morwood. Treasurer: Eathorne Pavia. Assistant Treasurer: Barbara Carr. " Lucernian " Representative: Jean Rentoul. In accepting the position of President for 1964 Dorothy Ruxton (Brown) is very conscious of the honour bestowed on her, but she is also conscious of her responsibilities. She has proved herself in the very capable manner in which she has taken part in the various outside organisations with which she is linked— the " Save the Children " Fund, the Baby Health Centre, and the Brotherhood of St. Laurence. In wishing her success in her new position we also assure her of our support and loyalty.

REUNION The Annual Reunion and Meeting was held at the School on 10th November, when members met at the Junior School for afternoon tea before adjourning to the Gertrude Pratt Hall for the meeting. We were sorry Miss Pratt could not be with us on this occasion. At the dinner which followed, our guests included Miss Shaw, representatives of the School staff, the prefects and representatives from The Hermitage, P.L.C., M.L.C., and Melbourne Grammar School. SWIMMING SPORTS In March, on this important day in the School calendar, our team of J. Doak, S. Schofield, J. McEwan and J. Ockleston, scored a win for the Old Collegians. Congratulations ! We hope to repeat this success next year. GARDEN FETE This annual event took place on 30th March, and the day dawned wet and dreary. After a very wet morning, the weather cleared and did not hamper the afternoon's activities. We were able to claim insurance money, and so the day was financially successful, too — our hare was £230.

THE LUCERNIAN "SUN " GOLF CUP On Monday, 25th March, at Huntingdale Golf Club, Marjorie Reeve, Jessie Lilburne, Marjorie Carroll, Peg Roydhouse, Jessie Penney and Marjorie Henshaw represented the Association. Although we were not successful as a team, one of our members, Marjorie Carroll, tied for first place in B division, with 43 points, and was unlucky to lose on the count-hack. ATHLETIC SPORTS Sports Day was 4th May. Although we like to participate, we never seem to win ! " AT HOME " Kirrewur Court was the setting for the annual "At Home," which was held on 17th May. Six debutantes were presented to Miss Shaw, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. E. W. McCann, in the absence of the Chairman of the School Council, Mr. C. Hirst, and Mrs. Hirst. The girls were trained by Mrs. Ross Cook (Noel Dabb), who is to be congratulated on the standard they attained. Representatives of the Hermitage, Sacred Heart, St. Joseph's and Gelong College were our guests on that evening. Owing to the difficulty in organising a sufficient number of debutantes this year, it has been decided to discontinue this type of function for the time being. " FREEDOM FROM HUNGER " CAMPAIGN The Old Collegians held a Luncheon at the Newtown Municipal Hall to aid the " Freedom From Hunger " Appeal in June. This was a most enjoyable and successful day, and resulted in a 125 donation to the appeal. Miss Shaw was present both as our guest and as an active member of the Appeal Committee. APPEAL FOR DEAF CHILDREN A donation of £5/5/- was made to this appeal, which was launched to provide motorised transport between Gelong and specialised Deaf Schools in Melbourne.

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN June McColl and Dorothy Ruxton continue to represent us on this Council. On 15th July an All-Day Conference of the Geelong Branch was held in the Newtown Municipal Hall. Our two representatives and the Secretary were present. Mrs. G. N. Frost, C.B.E., President of the National Council of Women of Victoriatoria, spoke on " The Structure of the Council " at the morning session, and Mrs. J. G. Norris, O.B.E., M.A., was the afternoon speaker. It was a most interesting and instructive day. COMBINED OLD GIRLS' CLUB The first meeting for the year was held on 2nd April at the Nurses' Memorial Centre, St. Kilda Road. We were represented by Audrey Gillett and Dorothy Ruxton. The second meeting took place at the same venue on 7th October. BRANCHES MELBOURNE On 23rd April a very successful Reunion was held. Geelong Association was represented by the President, Secretary and Marjorie Carroll. It was a very happy evening. The next meeting was on 15th October, when Eathorne Pavia and Marjorie Henshaw accompanied Miss Shaw to Melbourne. These reunions are noticeably successful because of their informality and friendly atmosphere. WESTERN DISTRICT Miss Shaw, President and Secretary attended the Church Service at St. Andrew's Church on 24th February. After the service we all enjoyed a delicious luncheon at the Colac Motel. The Annual Meeting was held here, too, on 5th October. Miss Shaw, the President and Secretary were present. In spite of their present difficulties. we are pleased to know that this branch is continuing in a limited capacity.

THE LUCERNIAN GOULBURN VALLEY BRANCH The first Annual Meeting- of. our youngest branch was held in August. Miss Shaw and Marjorie Carroll travelled from Geelong and had a most enjoyable day. The activities of this branch have ben accompanied by an enthusiasm which augurs well for the future.

The Association has continued to grow, and we know this will continue as we are joined by more girls completing their school lives at Morongo. May we satisfactorily provide a means of contact between all Old Collegians and at the same time further the work of Morongo, which is so important to us all. IN MEMORIAM It was with real sorrow that Old Collegians learned of the death of Mr. Michael Young Venters, the last of the Founders of Morongo. Mr. Venters, in latter years, was not seen so much at the School, but during a very long association he had been a staunch friend and supporter. The Old Collegians of Roslyn (lays and the early Morongo days will remember him with affection, and they join in extending to Mrs. Venters their sincerest sympathy. Marjorie Henshaw, Hon. Secretary.

MELBOURNE BRANCH Annual Report, 1963 Melbourne Branch had a happy but quiet year during 1963. Two reunions were held at the Business and Professional Women's Club. The first, on April 23rd, was attended Unfortunately, by 59 Old Collegians. neither Miss Pratt nor Miss Shaw was able to be present, but we were delighted to welcome the President and Secretary of the Geelong Branch.

At this reunion the Committee for 1963-64 was elected. We were very pleased to welcome Helen McGowan, who was Head Prefect in 1962, to our Committee, and appreciate her willingness to help the Old Collegians in this capacity. It was also decided at this reunion to send £30 to the Geelong Branch. October 15th was the date of our second reunion. We were very pleased to have Miss Shaw with us. She told us of the activities at the School during the year. The Secretary and Treasurer of the Geelong Branch were also very welcome guests. It is very gratifying to us to know that they take such an interest in our activities. It is disappointing to us that Miss Pratt is no longer able to attend our reunions, but she feels that physically she is now unable to attend evening engagements. The 70 Old Collegians present spent a happy evening chatting together and renewing school friendships. The happy, friendly atmosphere that is always so apparent at our evenings is very rewarding to the Committee, who feel that this type of evening is more acceptable to our members than anything of a more organised nature. Because of circumstances beyond our control we were unable to arrange a Church Service during November, but hope that we will be able to arrange one early in May next year. We extend a cordial invitation to all Old Collegians to attend our reunions. The next will be held at the Business and Professional Women's Club on April 21st. Any Old Collegian wishing to attend can obtain further information from Netta Bowring (phone 85-9557). We look forward to a happy year in 1964. Netta Bowring, Hon. Secretary.

WESTERN DISTRICT BRANCH Annual Report, 1963 It is with much pleasure that I present to you this report for the year ending October 6th, 1963. The Annual Meeting for 1962 was held at the Motel Colac on October 13th. We were very happy to welcome Miss Shaw and Miss Rentoul as our guests. The meeting was well attended, although various other activities claimed some. Miss Shaw took the chair for the election of office-bearers, and all retiring office-bearers were re-elected with the exception of the Vice-Presidents :—President, Una McLeod; Secretary, Judith Pocock ; Treasurer, Glenys Drayton ; Assistant Secretary, Dawne Reynolds ; Vice - Presidents, Norma Clifford and Margaret Boyd. Miss Shaw told us of the School activities, and the afternoon closed with a chat and a cup of tea. A Christmas dance was held at the end of the year, and once again we were grateful to Marjorie Carr and her friends for their exhibition of dancing. In April we held our one and only meeting for the year. The attendance of six, including office-bearers, was very disappointing. At this meeting we were sorry to receive the resignations of Judith and Glenys. Judith left to be married and Glenys to take up duties in Melbourne. Dawne Reynolds and Dorothy Jellie agreed to carry on as Secretary and Treasurer until the Annual Meeting. To those who have announced their engagements we extend our best wishes for a happy future. Wedding bells rang for some, and we wish them every good wish for the future, especially Judith, who was our

Secretary for seven years, and it was a very pleasing duty to make a presentation to her on your behalf. Congratulations to those who have welcomed little ones into their homes, and sympathy goes to those who have been touched by sadness in the loss of loved ones. In closing this, my last report to you, I would like to thank you all for your help and especially my fellow officebearers, who have stood very staunch and true to the Old Collegians at all times. To Mr. and Mrs. Drayton I am very grateful for the way in which they welcomed us into their home for our meetings ; the warm fire and coffee were very much appreciated. Many thanks to you all, and I hope and pray that the name of Morongo will live in the Western District for many years to come.

GOULBURN VALLEY BRANCH It is with pleasure that I present to you the Annual Report of the Goulburn Valley Branch of Morongo Old Collegians' Association.

The Annual Meeting was held on August 17th, 1963, at Scots Church Hall, Shepparton, and was a social afternoon, with a " trading table " to help to swell our funds. We were pleased to welcome Miss Shaw and Mrs. Carroll, from Geelong, to join with us. It has been agreed to hold the Annual Meeting each year on the third Saturday in August, and the annual Church Service on the last Sunday in November. The Church Service this year will be on November 24th, at 11 a.m., at Scots Church, Fryers Street, Shepparton. We extend an invitation to all Old Collegians to attend these reunions. There will be a picnic lunch at the John Pick Gardens, Lake Victoria, Shepparton, after the Church Service, so do hope there will be a good attendance. The following office-bearers were elected : President, Jean Fish ; VicePresidents, Jennifer Currie and Betty Thornton ; Secretary, Heather McDonald ; Treasurer, Gwen Bradshaw. With the year coming to a close, may I wish all Old Collegians health and happiness for 1964 and may you continue to give all the support you can to your office-bearers and to Morongo.

This year will mark the close of a long association with Morongo for Miss Ohlson, and Old Collegians will wish her well in her retirement in New South Wales. Miss Ohlson has not spared herself in her work for the School and the girls. She has been the means of many girls gaining knowledge by travel as well as guiding them in the classroom. She will be missed, and we thank her for the many years she has given to the School. Miss Knapp is also retiring and returning to England, and we hope she has many happy years in her old associations. Other staff are also leaving the School this year, and Old Collegians thank them for what they have done in the past and wish them well in the future.
