During the next nine years it is estimated that the total enrolment for Tertiary Education in Australia will increase by more than 100,000 and that for Universities by more than 38,600. The problem of providing more Universities to fill this growing need is widely discussed and widely recognized as urgent. Throughout Australia many organizations have forwarded proposals for the foundation of Universities in their areas, and in five instances have been successful: Sydney, Bedford Park (Adelaide), Shortland (Newcastle), Ross River (Townsville) and La Trobe in Victoria. La Trobe hopes to take 350 students at the beginning of 1967. The focal point of the University is to be a library of 1,000,000 volumes and seating for over 3,000; and the ten colleges planned for both resident and non-resident students will add to the emphasis being placed on the University as a community, not just a " teaching machine." There is no doubt that this University will supply a genuine demand. But there is a danger, however, of its adding to the false conception, growing in the minds of many members of the community, that Univerisity education is the " only " Higher education. It is unrealistic to imagine that Universities alone can provide the variety of training needed by students with a broad array of educational objectives. The expansion of educational effort is hampered by a shortage of resources, which only the national economics can provide. But economic growth requires continued expansion of educational opportunities for the people who will provide the trained work force of the future. It is fostered by that work force becoming more skilled and efficient, existing knowledge being applied more rapidly in the modernization of capital equipment and improved methods of management. It is essential for the Commonwealth to provide for individuals to achieve their aspirations and at the same time to serve the community. It is also essential that the varied fields of instruction be regarded as a corporate body with a unity of purpose.
The Association continues to meet at the Kindergarten in Elizabeth Street, and would be glad to welcome any Parents of Day Girls or Boarders able to attend meetings. If you would like notices of meetings sent to you, please send your name and address to the Secretary who will be happy to post them to you. The evening arranged to meet members of Staff took place on March 2nd and took the form of a film night — using the new projector which we had just donated for use in the Science course. April 23rd was the Annual Meeting, followed by scenes from Shakespeare's plays, re-enacted by the girls from their afternoon performance. Congratulations to Staff and Girls for these worthwhile productions Opportunity was taken at the meeting of wishing Miss Shaw a very happy holiday abroad, and to present her with an overnight bag as a parting gift from us all. The Bell Post Bulletin is proving very useful as a means of keeping up to date with current school news, events and people. Mr. Bill Hedley, our energetic Editor is always anxious to receive news items or photographs which would be of general interest.
The satisfactory progress of the violin class at present using our Bursary is very pleasing and will be watched with interest. During the year a joint committee was formed with representatives of the Senior and Junior Auxiliaries and the Old Collegians. This group will be able to keep all organizations in closer contact with each other and already have indicated that all of us would be in favour of combining our efforts in a larger project to benefit Morongo. Many ideas have been submitted, ranging from a Music School to a Swimming Pool, and we are now waiting for guidance from the Council on this matter. Once again Dr. Taylor and his committee are to be congratulated on another successful Fete. This year we were obliged to seek the shelter of the Hall as the weather made out of doors stalls too unpleasant. A Theatre and supper party is being arranged to finish off the year's activities, and we look forward to welcoming home Miss Shaw. We congratulate Miss Sutherland and Miss Leigh on so admirably managing the School's affairs in the absence of the Principal. Gwen Blakiston, Hon. Secretary.
Afternoon Auxiliary
The monthly meetings of the Afternoon Auxiliary (Senior Group) have been very well attended, and this year we were pleased to welcome a number of new members. We hope next year to have an even greater increase in our membership, and for the benefit of those intending to join, we meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month, at 2 p.m. in the McPhillimy Hall, St. George's Church, Latrobe Tce. A coffee party held on 24th November completed our meetings for 1964, and 1965 started with a social afternoon at which the new Committee were hostesses. The bus trip this year was cancelled owing to lack of numbers to fill a bus. We have had most interesting speakers through the year. Sister McLachlin from the Anti-Cancer Council gave us an address on " Life without Fear," and Mrs. Larsen, a trained child psychologist, spoke on the problems between adolescent children and parents. Miss Hair from the Gordon Technical College spoke on the degree of education needed for entry into the commercial class. Our June meeting was held at Morongo where Miss Sutherland spoke to us, and with Miss Leigh, entertained us at afternoon tea. A beauty demonstration completed our syllabus items for the year. At the invitation of the President of the Parents' and Friends', the President and Secretary attended a meeting to discuss the suggestion that the various groups interested in Morongo should work for a specific item. This was agreed to by those present. We were very pleased to hear progress reports of Miss Shaw's trip overseas, and will join with others in welcoming her back in November. A sincere thank you goes to Mrs. Richardson and Committee members for their guidance and help through the year. Elsie Clutterbuck, Hon. Secretary. Page Seven
Junior Auxiliary
Throughout the year most of the meetings have been held at McPhillimy Hall, with Mrs. F. R. Herd as President, Vice-Presidents: Mrs. N. L. Davidson and Mrs. J. C. Rayson, Secretary: Mrs. R. V. Pavia, Treasurer: Mrs. A. J. Adcock and seven members of Committee. As the aim of the Auxiliary is to promote friendship between Mothers and to help the Junior School, the Committee would be very happy to welcome many more Mothers to the meetings in future. This year, as a change from the usual social evening, about 60 Mothers attended the G.A.M.A. Theatre to see a play produced by one of our members, then had the opportunity to meet the staff of the Junior School and Miss Shaw at supper afterwards. Among the varied and particularly interesting syllabus items this year we had a demonstration of cuisenaire and one of dried flower arrangements by a member of the Floral Art Guild of Geelong. Other speakers included Mr. Billot, Geelong Regional Librarian, and two members of the staff of Geelong College, Mr. D. Webb who spoke about children's art, and the vice-Principal Mr. D. D. Davey who spoke of the impact of television viewing on children. Some members accepted the invitation of the Senior Auxiliary to attend a meeting to hear a speaker from the Anti Cancer Council. An interesting innovation was the morning coffee meeting held at the C.A.A. rooms, which gave Mrs. Marfell the opportunity to tell members about Community Aid Abroad. The Junior Auxiliary again had its own very successful cake stall at the Garden Fete held in March, and shared the total proceeds with the Parents' and Friends' Association and Old Collegians. As it was suggested we might be able to help the School better by joining with the other organisations to procure some larger requirement, no money has been spent at the Junior School this year, and we are now awaiting further advice from the Council. Early in the year the President and Secretary of the Junior Auxiliary, together with those of other organisations connected with the School, were invited to join the executive of the Parents' and Friends' Association. This is a good forward move and will lead to much more co-operation in the future. Members were pleased that Miss Shaw has had the opportunity to travel overseas during the year, and thank her for her continued interest in the Auxiliary. Our thanks go to Miss Sutherland, acting Principal in Miss Shaw's absence and to Miss Courtney and the Junior School staff for their interest in our children. We thank the President for her leadership during the year and to our retiring Committee members and to Mothers who will be transferring to the Senior Auxiliary next year, we extend our warmest thanks and best wishes for the future. Eathorne Pavia, Hon. Secretary.
School Notes
Page Eight
School commenced on Wednesday, 3rd February, and at our first Assembly we welcomed to the Staff — Miss Gray, Miss Johns, Miss F. Lewis, Miss Marsden, Miss Miller, Miss McLeod and Mrs. Williamson. Miss Shaw presided at her last Assembly on 7th May and sailed for overseas shortly afterwards to attend the English Headmistresses'
Conference at Bournemouth and she has also taken the opportunity to travel widely on the Continent and America, where apart from extensive sight-seeing, she has visited many schools. We have been deeply sorry that Mr. McLean, our Chaplain, has not enjoyed very good health for a large part of this year, and we have greatly missed his presence at our Assemblies. Our main appeal this year was in aid of the Anti-Cancer Campaign, the sum of £100 was handed to the organisers. The Council has further earned the gratitude of the School by providing another classroom built on the south wing. Heather McCowan
Junior School Notes
Education in this era is one of change and challenge. In order to prepare students of these fast moving times to take their place in the world of tomorrow, there must be a changing, progressive approach. This year has been full of interest and challenge in the field of study. Parents of Morongo girls having faith in the School realize that all methods and changes are for the ultimate benefit of their children, and are happy to watch the progress. Our greatest achievement for 1965 has been the successful introduction of the I.T.A. (Initial Teaching Alphabet) method of Reading. This has been an outstanding success, we feel. The progress has been followed quite easily and understood by parents, as the subject was introduced at the level of Kindergarten without any change on the part of the class. Another field of change has been in Mathematics, where much thought has been needed in the approach to higher grade work. With the gradual elimination of our present system of currency, introduction to decimal currency, and an endeavour to give an understanding of the newer type of problem, the course of study has been very wide. However, as the decimal currency takes over from the old system, the field of study will decrease. Miss Shaw's trip abroad has been the source of much interest and enthusiasm on the part of the children. As is possible in a school such as this, our Social Study Scheme was arranged to cover Miss Shaw's journey. Miss Shaw's interesting letters and cards all along the route, together with some excellent slides taken on a trip by Miss Miller, gave the children a splendid background for work on a project of the tour. They really felt that they had journeyed along the same route. As usual, during the first term, the Junior School Sports were held on April 27th. The weather was fine and the children enjoyed the afternoon. Meredith Cooper was successful in winning the championship, and Susan Mockridge was runner-up. The Nursery children paid two visits to the " big school " where they took part in threepenny concerts. The collection helps to swell our funds for the Doll Competition for the Annual Garden Party. The visits by the little children are an introduction to Morongo, and help the girls to feel at home when they are promoted to Kindergarten. Page Nine
This year the School was extremely fortunate in having gained the service of two such understanding and conscientious staff members as Miss Miller and Miss Johns. We hope that they will remain at Morongo for a long time.
Head Prefect's Notes
The Prefects for 1965 were: Barbara Brewster, Elizabeth Honey, Patricia Malloch, Kathrin Maconochie, Janette McAdam, Heather McCowan (Head Prefect), Dierdre Permezel and Joy Speers. The Deputy Prefects were: Jennifer Bickford, Julie Cowperthwaite, Mary Gayer, Catherine Hallam, Merren Hurlston, Dorothy Johnston, Meredith Kefford, Karin Mathison and Robyn McAllister. The induction of the Prefects took place on Thursday, 18th February, by the Rev. K. McLean, the School Chaplain. It has been an unusual year in so far as we have been without Miss Shaw for the greater part of it. During her absence, Miss Sutherland has been Acting Principal and has resided at the School. Miss Sutherland has had a particularly busy year because of these added duties as well as her usual scientific subjects. During First Term, Janette McAdam and I attended meetings in the City Hall to help plan the annual observance of Commonwealth Youth Sunday. Commonwealth Youth Sunday this year, was held on Sunday, 2nd May, and took the form of a mass rally in Johnstone Park. This rally was addressed by the Governor of Victoria, Sir Rohan Delacombe who later took the salute as the schools and youth organisations marched past a saluting base set up in front of the Memorial Foyer on the way to their respective churches. At the rally, I had the honour of reading the Queen's reply to a message of loyalty sent to her on behalf of the youth of Australia. The lesson at the service in St. Giles' was read by Elizabeth Honey. Following the Church Service, Miss Sutherland and I attended a reception at the City Hall given by the Mayor of Geelong, Cr. H. R. Fidge, along with representatives from other schools and organisations, and were presented to the Governor and Lady Delacombe. On Sunday, 25th April, Elizabeth Honey, Kathrin Maconachie, Joy Speers and I met with the prefects of Clyde, the Hermitage, Geelong College and Geelong Grammar, at the Geelong Grammar School to discuss annual school dances. Following the meeting, we had afternoon tea with the Headmasters and Headmistresses of the schools. The Prefects have enjoyed the opportunity of attending school dances at the Hermitage, Geelong College and Geelong Grammar. The Annual School Church Service was held on Sunday, 1st August, for the first time in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. The service was conducted by the Rev. Hugh Roberts, Mrs. Ruxton, President of the Old Collegians and I read the lessons. I wish to express my gratitude to the Prefects and Deputy Prefects for their unfailing support and encouragement throughout the year, and to thank them for carrying out their duties so ably and willingly. Particular thanks must go to Joy Speers and her Committee for their work amongst the Boarders during the year. On their behalf I would like to thank Miss Henderson for their happy and successful year in office.
Page Ten
The thanks of the School go to Miss Sutherland for her unfailing help and guidance whilst Miss Shaw was away, and to the members of Staff for their advice and interest throughout the year. We express our gratitude to Miss Shaw for her help and wish to thank her for the many interesting and informative letters she wrote to us from abroad. My best wishes to all girls returning to School for 1966, and to those moving on to other spheres.
Obituary Mrs. E. C. Renfrey
Last June we were sad to hear of the death of Mrs. Edna Campbell Renfrey who was a member of the Morongo staff for eight years. Mrs. Renfrey joined the staff in 1954 and taught Mathematics and Arithmetic to the Junior forms. She was a Form Mistress of Sub Intermediate G and was a House Mistress of Ardens, which she supported enthusiastically. In 1962 Mrs. Renfrey resigned owing to ill health, and during the winter months of the following two years, she and her husband went to Queensland to be near their daughter. She will be remembered by the senior girls not only for her teaching, but for her understanding and willingness to help them with any of their problems. Janette McAdam.
Church Notes
Church at St. David's began for the Boarders on Sunday, February 7th, at a Service attended by the Staff and Girls. We have continued attending weekly services at St. David's, while the Anglican girls have attended St. John's Church of England. On Palm Sunday, the Boarders sang their part in " The Story of the Cross," and on Sunday, May 2nd, the Senior School took part in the Commonwealth Youth Sunday March, which was followed by a service at St. Giles' conducted by the Reverend J. Camp. During second term, Mr. McLean, and in his absence, Miss McLeod, held confirmation classes at Morongo, and at a service on Sunday, June 13th, the following girls were admitted into full membership of the Presbyterian Church: J. Barber, W. Barr, A. Bishop, A. Brien, P. Brien, S. Brien, J. Brewster, S. Brown, M. Campbell, C. Cowley, M. Cowley, J. Dunn, S. Eccles-Smith, S. Forsyth, R. Goldsworthy, J. Harding, R. Harvey, P. Jaboor, L. Lee, A. Liddle, H. Martin. U. McIntyre, M. Miles, C. Moreton, L. Nissen, S. Odgers, M. Robinson, R. Sisson, M. Towt, J. Williamson, D. Wills, M. Wood, A. Wynne. On August 1st, the Annual School Service was held, for the first time in the Gertrude Pratt Hall, after we had " grown out " of St. David's. The Reverend T. L. H. Roberts was the speaker, and the Boarders' Choir, under the instruction of Miss Blowes, sang the introit " 0 Taste and See," and the anthem, an arrangement of the 23rd Psalm. We would like to thank our Chaplain, the Reverend K. McLean, Deaconess Miss A. McLeod, and Mrs. Shanks for their help and interest in the School throughout the year. Gillian Walter. Page Eleven
Ardens House Report
" Seek Wisdom" This year has not been perhaps the most successful year for Ardens, largely due to the lack of House spirit, both in School and at sport of too many Ardens girls. The first House competition for the year was the Swimming Sports held at Lara on 26th February, which were won by Ardens. Our congratulations go to the champions, particularly those on our own House — Elizabeth Wright, Anne Clutterbuck, Judith Clutterbuck and Sally-Ann Wright. The Inter-House Athletic sports were held at School on Saturday, 1st May, in which Roslyn won the Margaret Shannon Cup, followed by Lawson, Harris and Ardens, with Ardens' champions being Judith Downey and Heather Petrie. A very successful House Social was held on April 2nd, in which all Houses combined to have a barbecue followed by a concert. During 2nd Term, Inter-House basketball and hockey matches were played, but Ardens unfortunately were not very successful in either basketball which was won by Roslyn, or hockey, won by Harris. This term, House tennis and baseball matches are being played, but have not yet been completed. Finally I would like to thank Joy Speers, Sports' Captain of Ardens, for her help and enthusiasm during the year, our House Mistresses for their interest, and to wish Ardens success in the future. Mary Gayer.
Harris House Report
Page Twelve
"Not Failure, but Low Aim is Crime." What Harris lacked in academic and sporting ability in 1965, was made up in optimism. School houses see-saw, some riding high and winning point after point, while others sit low, and seem to accomplish very little. Harris in 1965 was on the rise. Congratulations to Ardens for winning the Swimming Sports, the first major sporting event of the year. No Harris girl drowned, and everyone barracked hard, especially in the very exciting relays. The School athletic sports were held on May 1st, and Roslyn won the Margaret Shannon Memorial Cap. Congratulations! Harris came third, with Jan Spokes our successful junior champion, and Janet Hosford runner up to the senior champion, Barbara Wotherspoon. During second term, hockey and basketball matches were played with great enthusiasm, and because of strong house spirit, our junior and senior hockey teams won. (Although " Not Failure, but Low Aim is Crime," success is gratifying). Third term's house matches in tennis and baseball are still in progress. Other house activities include the combined house socials, a barbecue and crazy concert, held early in April to foster house spirit, and of course, the weekly debits and credits. Through the Tuesday morning " lists " a house captain learns much, especially concerning house spirit. On behalf of Harris, I say thank you to Lawson, Ardens and Roslyn for enjoyable and good competition all year; to our members of Staff — thank you for your support; and finally I thank the Bartlett twins for their invaluable assistance to me.
Pamela, our Sports captain, had to undergo an operation, and Jill slipped willingly into her position, arranging teams and practices for third term. Thank you Harris for a memorable 1965. Aim high in 1966. Good luck. Elizabeth Honey.
Lawson House Report
" To Strive, to Seek, to Find and not to Yield." During 1965, Lawson has had mixed results in both sport and citizenship points. Our Swimming Sports were held early in first term, and we congratulate our sports captain, Susan Hocking, who was senior champion, and Jennifer Schofield, on being the junior champion. The day resulted in a win for Ardens, followed by Lawson, Roslyn and Harris. The 20th April brought a fine day for our Annual Athletic Sports. Roslyn was successful, followed by Lawson, Harris and Ardens. Our congratulations go to Lynette Harrison and Susan Eldridge who were Intermediate champion and runner-up respectively. A few weeks, later in second term, were occupied with House Winter Sports matches. In the Senior Hockey, Harris, Lawson and Roslyn drew for first position, while Harris won the junior section. Lawson was second to Roslyn in the Senior Basketball and second to Harris in the Junior Basketball. Baseball and Tennis matches are being played at the moment, and we hope our House will be successful here. I would like to thank all those girls who have taken part in our sport during the year. They have been very enthusiastic and have shown true House spirit. In contrast with the sporting activities, every girl in the House has a part to play in the weekly debits and credits, and good citizen results. Most girls have tried hard here, although there are still the few who insist on pulling against the House. The final House Results should prove to be very interesting. My thanks go to S. Hocking for all she has done for Lawson this year, in particular with the Sporting Activities, and best of luck to those girls elected to our positions next year. •Barbara Brewster, House Captain.
Roslyn House Report
" We are Judged by Our Deeds." 1965 has been a comparatively successful year for Roslyn, and most girls have shown pleasing enthusiasm in House affairs. Unfortunately our weekly total has been hampered by the repeated appearance of a few on the black list, but for the first time for many years, Roslyn topped the debits and credits in Second term. The Swimming Sports, held at Lara on March 26th, were not an outstanding success for Roslyn, but I was glad to see that the House spirit did not wane. Our congratulations go to Ardens, who now hold the Ena Miller Shield for Swimming, and to the individual champions. Page Thirteen
However, the Athletic Sports, held on May 1st, were Roslyn all the way, and the Margaret Shannon Memorial Cup is now in our hands. We congratulate all the champions, and we are particularly proud of our own Barbara Wotherspoon, the Senior champion, Jill Muller, Intermediate runner-up, and Jennifer Bartlett, equal Sub-Junior champion. House matches have been strongly contested this year. During the winter term, we were successful in winning the Basketball Shield, while Harris won the Hockey. I am sure Roslyn teams will acquit themselves creditably in the tennis and baseball, which are in progress now. House Socials were held on April 2nd, and were greatly enjoyed by those who attended. Roslyn could not have reached the heights we have reached this year without the constant support and assistance of our Sports Captain, Barbara Wotherspoon, and our staff members, to whom I am very grateful. I hope that next year, Roslyn girls will maintain the standard which we have reached this year, and that 1966 will be in every way a successful year. Jennifer Bickford.
Sports Report
This year's sport has been marked by enthusiasm and improved play, which was evident in the standard of our athletics, swimming and teams. Baseball and Tennis matches were played between 2nd February and 3rd March. Association matches were played against P.L.C., M.L.C., M.C.E.G.G.S and The Hermitage,various social matches were also played. Our most successful teams this year were the Junior A Baseball team which came equal first in their division, and the Senior B tennis which won their division. Second term saw Hockey and Basketball teams out training and it is very pleasing to note that the Senior A Hockey team won in their division. A number of girls went to Melbourne to compete in the Junior State Hockey trials. House and Form matches have been keenly contested and it is pleasing to note the enthusiasm with which they have been played. Inter-House Hockey was won by Harris, while in the Basketball, Roslyn were successful. Baseball and Tennis matches are still in progress as are the Tennis Championships. The Swimming Sports were held at Lara on 26th February, congratulations to Ardens on winning the Ena Miller Shield, also to the individual champions. A number of girls represented the School in the Inter-Schools Championships and were quite successful. The Athletic Sports were held on 1st May, congratulations go to Roslyn on winning the Margaret Shannon Cup, also to the individual champions. This year field events — javelin, discus and shot put, were included in the programme, and pleasing results were obtained in each. Standards have also been re-introduced and these helped contribute to the standard of the meeting.
Page Fourteen
Gymnasium work has proved extremely popular this year, and Gymnasium Championships are being held, a display is to be given on Hobbies' Day. Golf lessons were again available and quite a large number of girls took advantage of them. Another sport re-introduced was Fencing, Mr. Fadgyas instructs a small group. The girls have competed in a few competitions, and proved themselves quite able Fencers. Congratulations to Anne Martin on winning the Senior Novice. School-colours have been awarded to Joan Gillespie, Fiona MacAdie, Jennifer Moles, Heather McCowan and Patricia Malloch. Symbols were also awarded for the respective sports, to be eligible for these one had to be a permanent member of a senior A team for two consecutive years. Woven badges were also available for all girls in School teams. At the end of the year we will be very sorry to see Miss de Ferranti and also Miss Park leaving us, our sincere thanks go to them for all they have done for us and sport throughout the year. We are also extremely grateful to the grounds men who have kept the playing fields and equipment in such good order. I would also like to thank the respective House Sports Captains for the work they have done throughout the year. To all girls returning, we wish them every success for 1966. Patricia Malloch
Swimming Report
For the third successive year, the Swimming Sports were held at the McLelland Pool, Lara, on February 26th, the heats having been held on the previous Monday. This year a new system of age races was introduced and the Junior Championship races were increased from 33 yards to 55 yards. In order to give girls a choice of events for the Senior and Intermediate Championships, 55 yards Butterfly was included as a championship event. All these changes proved very successful. Our congratulations go to Ardens who again won the Ena Miller Shield for swimming with 244 points, followed by Lawson, 188 points; Roslyn, 162; Harris, 127. We also congratulate the champions who were: Open, Susan Hocking; Intermediate, Elizabeth Wright; Junior, Jennifer Schofield; Sub-Junior, Judith Clutterbuck and Sally-Ann Wright (equal). The Geelong and District All Schools' Swimming Championship, in which Morongo was well represented, were held at Lara on March 13th. Bell Park High Scholl is to be congratulated on winning the Batten Aggregate Shield for girls, by one point from Morongo. Life-Saving classes were again popular this year and many girls gained awards. We would like to thank Miss de Ferranti, Miss Park and Miss Hawkes, for their help and guidance throughout the year. Susan Hocking. Page Fifteen
Athletic Sports
The Athletic Sports were held on May 1st under ideal conditions. This year the Javelin, Discus and Shot Putt were introduced very successfully. To avoid rushing the track events, the baseball throw, high jump and long jump, discus and javelin were held in the morning, leaving the afternoon free for the track events, ball games and marching. Roslyn was successful in winning, very convincingly, the Margaret Shannon Memorial Cup, with Lawson second, Harris third, and Ardens fourth. The individual awards were won by: Senior Champion, B. Wotherspoon (R.) ; Runner-up, J. Hosford (H.) ; Intermediate, L. Harrison (L.) ; Runner-up, J. Muller (R.) ; and S. Eldridge (L.) ; Junior, J. Spokes (H.) ; Runner-up, J. Downey (A.) ; Sub-junior, H. Petrie (A.) ; and Jennifer Bartlett (R.). The Girls' Combined Public Schools' Sports, were held at Como Park on the 16th October. Morongo, being well represented, came equal 1st in the Diamond Throw, and Anne Greville obtained third place in the Senior 100 yards. Finally, our sincere thanks go to Miss de Ferranti and Miss Park for their unceasing interest and advice in preparation for the Sports. Our thanks also go to the Staff, who helped the day to become one of the most successful on record. B. Wotherspoon.
Baseball Report
We began the season with only four of last year's Senior A team available, but under Miss de Ferranti's coaching, the Senior teams soon settled down, Miss Park was in charge of the Junior teams. Our first match was a social match against Clyde, on 27th February, and the last match was played against M.C.E.G.G.S., it was pleasing to note that these were not our only two wins either. Association matches were played against P.L.C., M.L.C., M.C.E.G. G.S., and The Hermitage, social matches were also played against Clyde, Clonard, Sacred Heart and Teachers' College. I feel that the standard of our baseball is steadily improving, and with a number of promising juniors coming up, our future seems encouraging. Baseball symbols were awarded to Jennifer Moles, Joy Speers, Barbara Wotherspoon. Congratulations to these girls for being selected to play Senior A Baseball two consecutive years. During the year the Senior A team had to undergo several changes owing to one girl leaving us and a troublesome appendix of another. The final team was Judith Winkler (Pitcher), Barbara Wotherspoon (Catcher), Patricia Malloch (1st base), Fiona MacAdie (2nd base), Joan Gillespie (3rd base), Jennifer Moles (short stop), Joy Speers (centre field), Glenda Turnbull (left field) and Jeanette Camp (right field). I would like to congratulate all girls who were in the teams and on behalf of them, thank Miss de Ferranti and Miss Park for their patient coaching and guidance throughout the season. I would also like to wish them both the best of luck in their new fields. Finally, I would like to wish next year's teams the best of luck for 1966. Patricia Malloch.

Hockey Report, 1965
Morongo's high standard of hockey has been maintained throughout 1965. At the beginning of the Season there were so many keen players that the selectors were faced with a very difficult task in choosing the teams. The following girls are to be congratulated on their inclusion in the Senior AXI: Janine Martin, Patricia Malloch, Elizabeth Bramley, Glenda Turnbull, Jennifer Moles, Anne Liddle, Alison Richardson, Dierdrie Permezel, Fiona MacAdie, Helen Lalor, Anne Greville. These girls practised consistently, putting up very fine performances in defeating P.L.C., M.L.C., the Hermitage, M.C.E.G.G.S., and are to be congratulated on becoming premiers of our Association. Besides our Association matches, social matches were also thoroughly enjoyed against Clyde, the Geelong Teachers' College, Bell Park High School, the Geelong College and Geelong Grammar. The fighting spirit of our Senior B, Junior A and B, and Sub. Junior teams shows great promise for future matches. We are all very proud of our outstanding goalie, Janine ("Tubby" Martin, who put up a wonderful performance in the trials for the Junior State team at Royal Park, but was narrowly beaten for the position at the final selections. Inter-House Hockey matches were very closely contested this year, with Harris winning the Ruth McMillan Shield. This year Fiona MacAdie, Patricia Malloch, Janine Martin, Jennifer Moles and Dierdrie Permezel gained their hockey emblems, which were re-introduced this year. Miss Lewis and Miss de Ferranti made it possible for us to see matches played by State players, and Miss Lewis very kindly took some of us to see the touring Malaysian team play against Australia at Olympic park on August 15th, these matches inspired us greatly, and we are very grateful for being able to see them and thank Miss Lewis and Miss de Ferranti for their keen interest and encouragement which helped to make 1965 such a successful season. To every girl who played hockey this year, I wish you success for the future. Finally, to those returning — new faces are always welcome on the hockey field keep trying, for " determination wins the game!" Dierdre Permezel.
Basketball Report
This year the task of choosinag the Senior A team was difficult. The team finally decided on, consisted of Merryl and Carmel Cowley, Lynette Cover, Heather McCowan (captain), Joan Gillespie, Janeice Burgin and Merril Campbell. As well as the usual Association matches against M.L.C., P.L.C., Melbourne Grammar and the Hermitage, we played social matches against Clyde, Sacred Heart College, Bell Park High School and the Teachers College, from whom we picked up many hints. Inter-House matches were played and resulted in Roslyn winning the Senior section, and Roslyn and Harris, the Junior section. On _behalf of all the teams, I would like to thank Miss de Ferranti, Miss . Park and Miss ,Phillip for their help and interest throughout the season, and we wish the teams of 1966 every success. Joan Gillespie Page Seventeen
Tennis Report
This year the second senior team is to be congratulated for winning its section in the Association. Apart from our Association matches, we have played several social matches, all of which gave us valuable practice. These matches include those against Clyde, Sacred Heart College, Teachers' College and Geelong College. Also the combined Morongo - Hermitage - Geelong College tournament was held, in which Morongo was represented in the finals by Janet Brewster and her partner. Our first team for this year was: H. McCowan, A. Greville (captain), B. Guthrie, B. Brewster (vice-captain), M. Campbell, J. Brewster, H. Corstorphan and J. Vickers-Willis. At the moment, titles for senior doubles and singles, intermediate double and singles and junior doubles and singles are being vigorously contested, while house matches are also in play. I would like to extend the thanks of all players to Miss de Ferranti and Miss Park for their assistance and encouragement in both the senior and junior teams. We are also grateful for the valuable coaching by Mr. Sleeman, and to Miss Botterill for arranging the tennis lessons on Fridays. To all girls returning, I wish every success in the coming year. Anne Greville.
Fencing Report
At the beginning of the year, with the interest of a few girls, Morongo formed a fencing club. There is a membership of seven girls, namely: Susan McNeill, Anne Martin, Michelle Miles, Penelope South, Margaret Shanks, Frances Spry and Jeanette Johnson. Penelope is a veteran in the art of fencing, while the rest of us are enthusiastic beginners. Tuition is once a week on Monday nights, under the guidance of Mr. Fadgyas, a former Olympic fencer. The usual procedure is a quarter of an hour private tuition for half of the class, while the other half forms a group having bouts, this system alternates from week to week. We have entered a number of competitions in which some of us have been successful. During third term, on October 9th, 14th and 16th, the Geelong and District Championships were held at the Hermitage and St. Bernard's Hall, Belmont. These included individual and team events and in the latter, Morongo finished sixth with Nimrod, Hermitage and Geelong Grammar School taking first, second and third place respectively. Like many other sports, fencing has its social life too, and such an occasion was held at the Sacred Heart Hall on September 15th, where a good time was had by all. In closing, I would like to thank Mr. Fadgyas who has shown unceasing patience with us, and the best of luck for those continuing or beginning fencing in 1966. It is a great sport! Anne Martin.

French Report
This year Miss Botterill has shown her usual untiring enthusiasm in all French class activities. Matriculation provided a particularly large French class which cannot have made her work any easier. Several times during the year Matriculation girls have been able to watch the television programme " Les Francais Chez Vous," and each week the senior forms haven taken the usual French dictation over the radio. As well as this, Miss Botterill has shown several helpful French films at lunch time and after school. On Thursday, 5th August, Miss Botterill kindly took the Matriculation class to Melbourne to see the Alliance Francaise production of Moliere's play, " Le Medecin Malgre lui," which was enjoyed by us all. On the first Friday of third term, Leaving and Matriculation students were taken to the annual Schools' French Night at the Melbourne University, and found it entertaining as well as instructive. The Alliance Francaise examinations were held at Geelong College on Saturday, 7th August, with pleasing results gained by a number of Morongo girls in this year's shortened prize list. For these results and for their guidance and interest in all our French activities, we are most grateful to Miss Evans and Miss Botterill. In closing, to all those continuing their French studies next year, je vous souhaite de bonne chance! Kathrin Maconachie.
Library Report
This year has seen many changes in the library. The room next door to the original library has been incorporated, and now houses the new Junior Library. This extension has provided much more shelf-space in the Senior Library, and some sections have been moved to more easily accessible places. Several new tables and chairs have been purchased and there is now seating accommodation for over eighty girls in both sections of the library. We are very grateful to the Council for making all this possible. Our shelves have been supplemented this year by the addition of over 500 books, about 200 fiction and 370 non-fiction, in both Senior and Junior sections. In particular a new Encyclopaedia, Newne's Pictorial Knowledge has been bought for the Juniors. At this point I would like to thank Miss Rentoul very sincerely for the beautiful " Life International " books she has given us for the Geography section. We are grateful also for any other gifts of books we have received during the year. On June 4th, Mrs. Clarke, Miss Williams and selected members of the library committee joined similar groups from the " Hermitage " and Geelong College in a stimulating discussion on book censorship, which was held at Geelong College. This interesting and valuable evening was enjoyed by all who attended. Finally I would like to convey my thanks to our Librarian, Mrs. Clarke, for her invaluable help and guidance during the year. Without her knowledge and experience, the library would not function as smoothly as it does. I should also like the thank the enthusiastic Committee, whose careful checking has kept the numbers of missing books to a minimum, and who have helped to make this year such a successful one in the library, and to wish next year's Committee a happy and rewarding term of office. Jennifer Bickford. Page Twenty-one
P. G. A.
This year's P.G.A. held its first meeting on the 4th March, 1965. We were once again glad to accept the leadership and guidance of Mrs. Shanks. The following girls were elected as office-bearers: President, Keryn Cameron; Treasurer, Joanne Heard; Secretary, Vicki Smith; and Vice-President, Barbara Borbidge. This year, financial members numbered 23, with nearly all attending every meeting. Mrs. Shanks decided that, this year we would join up with the National P.G.A. The fee for one year was a 1/per member, and this was sent to the headquarters at Melbourne. Through the year we have knitted squares which were made into a rug and sent to an old people's home. After most meetings, we took part in many activities, which included: two game afternoons, Bible reading, penny hike, slides, scavenger hunt and a Biblical quiz. The P.G.A. once again had its Annual Badge Dedication Service combined with the P.F.A. About 15 girls received badges with pride and true members' spirit, which I hope will be carried on by the new, and remaining members next year. During the first term, we also had a combined barbecue which was enjoyed by all. Once again I would like to thank Mrs. Shanks for her unfailing help and interest through the year. To next year's members, I wish the best of luck, and hope that they will attend every meeting with true fellowship spirit. Keryn Cameron.
Dressmaking Report
This year has been a very busy one for dressmaking students. There were many girls who did dressmaking for Intermediate and Leaving certificates. Garments made were lingerie, winterwear and afternoon frocks. Evening wear was particularly popular. As well as the sewing, there was a book and file to complete. Hobbies day was on November 12th and many attractive garments were modelled. On Tuesday, August 17th, the Leaving Dressmaking students saw a demonstration by Briget Maginn at Kirrewur Court. Congratulations go to Miss Blake who was married during the May holidays to Mr. Bruce Webb. Finally, the dressmaking students would like to thank Mrs. Webb for all the time and help she has given during the year. Dawn Armstrong.
Canteen Report
This year as in past years, the Canteen has been opened at recess, lunch time, and on Tuesday after school and Saturday afternoons for the boarders. During second term, pies were available for the day girls in addition to the usual buns and rolls. Our thanks go to Miss Leigh for enabling us to have the sweets, drinks and ice creams, and to Maria for her organizing and managing of the Canteen, and especially for providing hot lunches for the day girls. Also I would like to thank the girls from Intermediate and Leaving who have helped in the Canteen throughout the year. Janette McAdam.

op. goes the easel The Hungarian-born painter Vasurely is nicknamed "The Father of Optical Art." He is responsible by influence and example for the style's popularity today. The square, the circle, the rhomboid, the oval, the triangle, and variations of them are the motives which he arranges and composes with virtuoso skill. How far these brilliant patterns tie up with his statement—"Art is the plastic aspect of the community," is open to speculation. Certainly our exterior life is more and more dominated by the lozenge sign, traffic signals, price labels, identification tags, little pieces of glass, paper, plastic, proliferate. To make artistic order from them seems the artist's logical way of mastering, even if symbolically, a distracting environment. In November, 1965, Frank Eidleitz held an exhibition of Optical Art in the Melbourne Museum of Modern Art. As young artists we are alarmed to learn that this gallery, devoted to contemporary painters, is in danger of closing down because of poor patronage. Page Twenty-three
expositions Competitively, 1965 has been quite a successful year. Robyn McAllister, Elizabeth Honey, Jane Honman and Diane Armstrong won prizes at the Geelong Show. Robyn found the Finley and Deniliquin Shows very lucrative, and Jennifer Drayton is entered in the "Herald-Sun" Youth Art Competition. Shakespeare Day and the School Dance gave us a chance to "go big" . . . a Bayeux Tapestry, on unbleached calico, and a dragon in heavy, folded tar paper. A marked improvement has been noticed in the standard of posters around the school this year — proving the effectiveness of good design. A successful series by Elizabeth Honey, advertised the folk concert, and another series by the Sub-Intermediate A boarders advertised a Halloween night.
expeditions A lot of looking. An exhibition on contemporary sculpture was held in March, and Mr. Binns, the Education Officer, gave a very interesting lecture on it, pointing out the influence of new materials on sculpture. We were also taken to seen an exhibition of John Olsen's paintings in the South Yarra gallery. The introduction of the Spanish idea of ceiling painting and wall tapestries in Australia caused a stir by their novelty. In June the Leaving and Matriculation classes made a trip to the Melbourne Gallery, and were given a lecture on the History of Australian Painting. In July a striking contemporary exhibition of Israeli Graphic Art visited the Geelong Gallery. The works of ten Israeli artists included wood cuts, etchings, lithography, aquatints, and monoprints. In August, Matriculation attended an illustrated lecture by Mr. Binns, on Eighteenth century English painting, in conjunction with an exhibition of reproductions then on display. During SepteMber and October the Art Gallery Association conducted a series of illustrated lectures by leading practising artists — Clifford Last (sculptor), Mary Macqueen (print maker), Charles Bush and George Johnson (painters in representational and non-representational fields). Pace Twenty four
Matriculation spent a bright Sunday afternoon at the Dog Rocks, then "Merrawarp," the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Honey, where we sketched, and took some very unusual photographs. On the 24th October Matriculation and Leaving girls were taken on a bus tour of architecturally significant buildings in Melbourne. Mr. Philip gave a short talk, then a running commentary on the architecture (block and bird cages), and from the observation tower of the C.M.L. building we soaked in a wonderful view of Melbourne. Naturally, this year the Geelong Gallery has played a very significant part in our art course, and we are pleased to note the attention drawn to it by the generous Corio Five Star Whisky Prize of £500 begun this year. The competition is acquisitive, hence ensuring a valuable permanent collection.

Wood cut by Jill Muller. Miss Rushbrooke, Miss Philip — thank you. the graphic arts The term graphic art is in general use for describing all processes of production of multiple-proof pictures on paper on a hand-made basis. Prints are ordinarily printed in black, occasionally in colour. The term excludes all forms of mechanically reproduced works photographed or re-drawn on plates. It is interesting to note that Japanese prints have been condemned as works of art by certain connoisseurs and artists because their MATERIALS AND METHODS production was several steps removed from the work of the original artist, in that it depended upon the co-operation of expert engravers and printers. The Graphic Art processes we have used this year include lithography, monotype, lino cut, wood engraving and silk screen. lithography. Recently we discovered we could imitate the true lithographic process of drawing on limestone, by using a process called Transfer Lithography. To simulate the grain of the stone we used a coarse grain paper and drew the image with a greasy crayon. The paper was then soaked in water, inked and printed. monotype. Various experiments using combinations of spirits, water, printing ink, chalk, crayon, glue, and poster paint, have been printed from the marble slab, with many interesting results. An example of this method is the line drawing by Diane Armstrong, which accompanies the Sports Report. lino. cut.

wood engraving. Many of us used pieces of packing case, and found the effect of the wood grain had exciting possibilities. An example of the wood cut is the full page illustration of a fish by Jill Muller. silk screen. A stencil process where the ink is pressed through a piece of silk stretched tightly on a wooden frame. The design is printed by screening off parts of the silk with lacquer. This method of printing is popular in industry as it can produce an unlimited number of prints. Glenda Turnbull successfully printed a length of material using this method.

"Carmina Burana"
This year the combined choirs of Morongo and the Geelong College presented "Carmina Burana." The medieval texts used in the production are from a collection of Latin Love Poems found in the monastery of Benedictbecinen in Upper Bavaria, and set to music by Carl Orff, a contemporary German composer, in 1936. His music is notable for its sheer dynamic impact, and lack of complex harmony and counterpoint. The work is in three parts: " Spring," The Tavern " and " Love." " Carmina Burana " was presented to appreciative audiences on Monday, August 17th and Tuesday, August 18th. The soloists were: sopranos: Carole McKenzie and Cecily Moreton; counter-tenor: Mr. H. R. Newnham; baritone: Mr. John Pringle. Able backing was provided by the pianists, Mr. R. G. Heagney, and Mr. H. R. Newnham, and the Conservatorium Percussion Group, supplemented by Miss J. Blowes on the glockenspiel and other instruments. The chorus consisted of a combined choir of 109 from Morongo and the Geelong College. Both performances were highly successful, and it would be hard to say whether the singers or the audience enjoyed themselves the most, excepting those, of course, who had the cheaper seats too close to the percussion instruments. Mr. John Pringle gave an excellent performance, and those girls who were not impressed by him reserved their smiles for Mr. H. R. Newnham, who as well as giving an admirable performance on the piano, sang the difficult countertenor part. Carole McKenzie and Cecily Moreton were both clear and musically sound in their soprano solos. Despite their absence at rehearsals the percussion group provided a rhythmical backing during most of the performance. It appeared at first that the production was doomed, for interest was continually waning amongst members of the choir who objected to singing in Latin. It was not until quite near the date of the performance that our enthusiasm was revived, owing either to the addition of the piano accompaniment at rehearsals, or the discovery of a translation of the words we were singing. Then too, there were the well-meaning people who expressed sympathy because we were being forced to sing quite tuneless Latin Chants." I hope that they were only pleasantly surprised by our far from boring performance. On behalf of the choir, I would like to thank Mr. Martin and Miss Blowes, and all those who gave up their time for the hours of rehearsal prior to the production of " Carmina Burana." I urge all those returning to School next year to sing in as many such performances as they are able, for they are immensely rewarding, and widen your musical knowledge considerably. J. Cowperthwaite.
Forum
Forum meetings have been held at lunch time each Monday. During Miss Shaw's absence, Miss Sutherland has presided over the meetings which were attended by the prefects, house representatives, Intermediate, Leaving and Matriculation form captains. The Purpose of these meetings was to discuss school activities, work and general conduct. The debits were read and recorded by the house captains. Our sincere thanks go to Miss Sutherland for her continued help and support throughout the year. Janette McAdam.

Camera Club
The Camera Club was re-formed during second term, after an interval of sixteen years. We have forty-three members, most of whom are Juniors. Mr. Porter, of Porter Photographics, has been out to speak to us on " How to take good Photographs." We have had one competition so far, with the following results: Helen Sloane, first; Rennie Potter, second; Andrea French, third. We hope to have others soon. The club, which meets every month, has had several interesting meetings at which slides were shown. Helen Sloane, President.
Social Service
During this year as well as having raised money by individual Form efforts, we have sent stamps to the Women of the University, a branch of the Save the Children Fund, sold buttons for the Red Cross Appeal and also for Guide Dogs for the Blind. In first term, Pastor Doug. Nicholls, M.B.E., Field Officer of the Aboriginal Advancement League spoke to us of the need for our help and understanding of the problems besetting the Australian aborigines. Mr. Westaway and Miss Ryan came with their guide dogs, Aster and Jedda and spoke to us about the training and use of guide dogs for the blind. During second term, Mr. Jackson, in conjunction with Child Care Week, spoke to us of the plight of mentally retarded and spastic children. He spoke of the causes of these illnesses and the way in which these children are helped and being cared for in centres like " Karingal." Our main effort for the year was for the Anti-Cancer Campaign, and each Form raised money by putting on entertainments such as a mannequin parade, a concert, or the showing of coloured slides. On the 30th July, Miss Evans, Heather McCowan and I presented a cheque for £100 to Mr. Bell and Mr. Solomon, the president and secretary of the Geelong Appeal Committee. They both commented on the amount of money raised, and thanked the School, saying it would be spent for the research into the causes and possible cures of cancer. I would like to thank Miss Evans, Miss Leigh and Mrs. Bickford for their help and interest. Vanessa Mitchell.

On Friday, 7th May, a group of Leaving and Matriculation girls, accompanied by Miss Stanley and Miss Lawn, left Melbourne by 'plane for a four day tour of Canberra and the Snowy Mountain Scheme. It was the first time many of the girls had travelled by 'plane, and everybody thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Arriving at Canberra at 9.25 a.m., we boarded a bus for a sight seeing tour. We drove through Duntroon Military College, and continued on to an information centre which overlooked Lake Burley Griffin and the new Commonwealth Avenue Bridge. We were then taken on a guided tour of Parliament House where the functions of the House of Representatives and the Senate were explained to us. We saw a copy of the " Magna-Carta," and the Chair in the House of Representatives which has a canopy of wood originally coming from Westminster Abbey, and believed to date from the year 1300.
After touring the mint where the new decimal coinage is being made, we went to the War Memorial and lunched near by. From here we journeyed to the Academies of Anatomy and Science. Canberra to us seemed to lack unity, it had a distinct air of isolation and reserve. However, many buildings are still under contruction, and in the future it may develop into a closely knit community, we hope so, for it is a beautiful city. At 3.30 p.m. our plane left for Cooma, and by 4.35 p.m. we were settled into the United Cooma Motel (one of the seventeen motels in Cooma) and were looking forward to dinner, after which we were given permission to walk into Cooma township. Next morning we were taken by bus to the Snowy Mountain Authority's information centre where we were introduced to our guide, Jack Wiggins, and were given a brief description of the Scheme which provides for the waters of the Snowy River, and its tributary, the Eucumbene, to be trapped before leaving the mountains and to he diverted inland through two trans-mountain tunnel systems, so augmenting the flows of the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers for irrigation. The diverted waters will fall 2,600 feet, generating large quantities of peak-load electricity. The capital cost of the Scheme will be EA400 mill ions. We then travelled to and inspected the engineering Laboratories in Cooma, from there, went to the Eucumbene Dam and after havirn. lunch, boarded a launch for a cruise on Lake Eucumbene to the nld Adaminaby Landing Stage, via Hallstrom and Grace Lea islands, where we saw emus and albino kangaroos. Once again in the bus, we passed through Kiandra en route to Tumut 2 underground power station, which was reached through a tunnel three quarters of a mile long. From here we went to Cabramurra, the highest town in Australia (4880 ft.) we had tea in the staff dining room, and settled into a large staff hostel. After tea we were taken to see a film on the Snowy Mountains and Soil Conservation, and later, much to our delight, we were invited by the Cabramurra Ski Club to join them in viewing a film on skiing in Italy, and a mannequin parade of ski wear which was followed by a dance and barbecue. Our thanks go to the Ski Club for providing us with a very enjoyable evening. Next morning, after viewing the Tumut Pond and Tooma Darn, Mr. Wiggins kindly altered our itinerary in order to take us to Thredbo, where we were taken by chair-lift to the snow; needless to say the snow balls flew fast and free! That evening at Island Bend we saw another film, this time of a different nature Paul Newman was starring. The following morning we travelled to Island Bend Dam and Guthega power station, and again changing our itinerary, Mr. Wiggins took us to Mt. Kosciusko via Smiggins Holes. Unfortunately it was raining at the summit and the flat barren land and the freezing wind made it an uninviting place, though many braved the weather to see the snow again. We returned to Island Bend for lunch, changed into school uniform, and packed ready for our departure. En route to Cooma, we saw the old town of Jindabyne which will soon be flooded out to become the Jindabyne Dam. At the modern shopping centre of new Jindabyne, we spent what little money we had left. From Cooma we Page Thirty-one
flew to Canberra and from the 'plane the street lighting clearly showed up the planning of Canberra which was very effective; we changed 'planes and continued our journey home. On the whole we had a wonderful weekend, both socially and educationally. Few of us had realized how important and how extensive the Snowy Mountain Scheme is and it was well worth seeing. Our sincere thanks go to Miss Stanley and Miss Lawn for making this trip possible. Corinne Nicholas and Lynette Nation.
Central Australian Tour
Have you ever been to Central Australia? We were fortunate enough to go in May, with eighteen fellow students, in the care of two senior mistresses. Having left a cloudy Melbourne, we were pleased to arrive at sunny Alice Springs, which was our starting point for two tours: one to Ayers Rock, and the other to Glen Helen Gorge. One of the most interesting and magnificent sights in the area was Ayers Rock, 280 miles to the south-west of Alice Springs. Those of us who felt energetic managed to reach the top, from where we had a splendid view of the Olgas, which are monstrous domes and rounded minarets, the highest of which is 700 feet higher than Ayers Rock. The landscape and vegetation between Alice Springs and Glen Helen Gorge was vastly different from that on our trip to Ayers Rock; while the great monolith is situated in an area of red sandhills and spinifex plains, Glen Helen Gorge, which marks the spot where the Finke River cuts through the towering MacDonnell Ranges, is in a rocky region of ferns, cycads and ghost gums. On our return to Alice Springs, another place of great interest which we visited, was Hermannsburg Mission. Here on a large station, which has the amenities of a small community, live 400 aborigines under the guidance of 48 white people. Situated on the banks of the Todd River (which was dry when we were there) and nestling in a grassy plain within the main MacDonnell Ranges north of Heavitree Gap is Alice Springs. In the centre of this town is Anzac Hill from where we had a marvellous view of the main shopping area, St. Philip's College, the original " Alice " which is in a National Park, the John Flynn Memorial Church and the Flying Doctor Service Base. Despite a forgotten bag, an exposed film, one or two cases of gastroenteritis, and a lost pair of pyjamas, everyone had an enjoyable week and would agree with us in saying that it was a memorable experience. Many thanks to Miss Henderson and Miss Williams for accompanying us on this trip — we appreciated it very much. Juliette Park and Deanne Whittleston.
The School Dance, 1965
Page Thirty-two
The School Dance this year was again a Programme Dance, and was held on June 5th. Nearly three hundred people attended, and the Official Party for the evening included Miss Sutherland, Miss Henderson, Miss J acka, Mr. and Mrs. Davey, Mr. and Mrs. Coggin, and Mr. Our guests were the prefects from the and Mrs. McCowan. Hermitage, the prefects and boys from Geelong College and Geelong Grammar School and for the first time, a party of prefects from Chanel College.
An Oriental atmosphere was created in the Gertrude Pratt Hall where a huge Chinese dragon in gold, red and green decorated the entire west wall. Oriental scrolls, masks and weeping willow branches also added to the scene. The drink stall was the shape of a Japanese Shrine Gate, and drinks were served by Intermediate girls wearing colourful kimonos. Supper was served by candlelight in the Founders' Hall and the table centre pieces were gold sprayed Agapanthus. As usual the dance proved to be a great success, which was rewarding for all those who had worked so hard, particularly the Prefects and senior girls. Miss Jacka and Miss Leigh gave invaluable advice, and the willing co-operation of the kitchen and ground staff was greatly appreciated. Heather McCowan
Speech Night, 1964
The Annual Speech Night was held at the Palais Royal on 9th December, 1964. Our guest speaker, who also presented the prizes was Dr. Margaret Blackwood, M.B.E., who gave the School a delightfully entertaining and yet edifying talk on the word E.A.S.Y. The sports trophies were presented, as usual by Mrs. E. G. Ruxton, President of the Old Collegians' Association. Miss Shaw commented on her report and the year's activities in general, and the School choir, under the direction of Miss Blowes sang a traditional air " A Virgin most Pure " followed by a 14th Century German Carol, " In Dulci Jubilo."
Council Notes
Principal's Trip Members of the Council have taken great delight in hearing during the year of the progress of Miss Shaw's overseas tour. Having tried to persuade Miss Shaw to take such a tour for some years, the Council was naturally gratified when Miss Shaw was able to accept and is pleased that she found such great satisfaction from her travels. The School is certain to benefit in many ways from the trip. Costs Although teaching staff salaries and other costs have continued to rise, the Council has been able to defer any increase in fees at least until a budget is prepared for 1966. An analysis of enrolments was made by the Bursar during the year and presented to the Council, and it is obvious that the fact that each class is up to its desirable capacity, or very nearly so, has contributed towards the retention of lower fees than those charged by comparable schools. Gifts The Council acknowledges the continuing support of its auxiliaries and also a number of generous individuals. Such support, together with the economical functioning of the School itself, has enabled many improvements to be carried out without an appeal for funds having been made. Page Thirty-three
Improvements The Council members are often surprised to look back and see what extensive improvements have been carried out at Morongo in recent years. This year has seen the occupation of the new classroom and administration wing, the installation of sewerage, the renovation of the old science classroom, the extension of the library, the provision of additional drainage near the top oval and the commencement of the building of a new classroom which will be ready for the beginning of 1966. In addition, a number of smaller items have been purchased, including a new washing machine, a shelter for students waiting for buses at the rear entrance, a tennis court fence, a mower and a new bus to replace the old one. All the capital expenditure involved in these purchases amounts to a considerable sum which, with the exception of the sewerage, has been absorbed without recourse to further borrowing.. The Council has its eyes on the provision of a new boarding house as its next major project, but it may take some time to accumulate the funds necessary for such a building. Transport Contract The Council noted during the year the termination of the contract for passenger buses with Corio Buslines, who sold their business during second term. The Council appreciated the efficient service and the friendly co-operation given at all times by Mr. Chisholm and his staff. The School Further successes in academic, sporting and other activities warrant congratulations to the staff and pupils responsible. It has been a most satisfactory year. The Council sincerely thanks Miss Shaw, and the members of the staff for their devoted and highly competent work, and makes special mention of Miss Sutherland and Miss Leigh, and the other members of the staff who attended to the administration of the School during the absence of the Principal.

Music Club Report
Our Music Club has again had a most enjoyable and successful year. Those in the Committee are: Miss Wadelton, President; Mrs. Blakiston, Miss Butler, and Miss Littleton, Vice-Presidents; and the Captains and Vice-Captains of the Boarding Houses who are: Dierdre Permezel and Merren Hurlston (David) ; Catherine Hallam (Secretary) and Joy Speers (Hearne) ; Barbara Brewster and Kathrin Maconachie (McPhee) ; Anne Martin and Glenda Turnbull (Neilson) The first meeting for the year was held on Saturday, 3rd April, when Ian Robinson sang us a collection of folk songs and negro spirituals. During second term, two more were held. On Saturday, 19th June, we were given a recital of songs and verse speaking by Daphne Neilson, Isobel Dellar and Mary Cooke, who were accompanied on the piano by Norman Schulz. The St. Michael Singers were our next guests, on Saturday, 24th July. They sang a collection of motets, madrigals and verse anthems. The final meeting was held on Saturday, 18th July, when the Polish Dancers, under the
Page Thirty-four
direction of Mr. and Mrs. Baumgart, entertained us with the dances, songs and music. All meetings were thoroughly enjoyed and our thanks go to the artists who gave up their time for our entertainment. During the year, some of the boarders were taken to the Plaza Theatre to attend four Celebrity Concerts. The artists we heard were Jorge Bolet, pianist; The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Antal Dorati; The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra again, conducted by Thomas Mayer and Philip Miechel, the clarinet soloist; and Luigi Alva, a Peruvian tenor. I would like to thank Miss Sutherland and Miss Blowes for allowing us to attend these concerts, and for taking us to them. On March 20th, about twenty boarders were taken to hear a recital from the Australian Boys' Choir at the Plaza Theatre, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all those present. Unfortunately two concerts were held during the holidays and none of the boarders was able to attend. The artists were Eileen di Tullio, an American Soprano, and Christian Ferras, a French Violinist. Perhaps the highlight of the Music Year was the performance of Carl Orff's " Carmina Burana " which was presented by the combined Morongo and Geelong College on 16th and 17th August, under the direction of Mr. Martin. It was a great success. The Annual House Competitions were held on Sunday, 15th August. Hearne proved the successful House, winning by a margin of four points from Neilson and McPhee, with 140 points, and David 139. The Houses sang the set hymn " For all the Saints who from their labours rest," followed by the piano solos in three sections. The winners of these were Catherine Hallam (Hearne), Senior Section: Mary Barber (David), Intermediate Section; and Lesley Malpas (Hearne) and Anne Mathison (McPhee), Junior Section. We are very grateful to Mr. Larson, the Director of Music at the Geelong Teachers' College, for adjudicating for us. During the year, three choirs have been meeting each week for practices, under the direction of Miss Blowes. The Junior Choir, consisting of Sub-Intermediate and under; the Senior Choir, Intermediate and above; and the Boarders' Choir. I would like to thaak Miss Blowes for the time she has given up, and for her continuous help throughout the year. The Senior, or School Choir, has sung on one public occasion, that of " Carmina Burana," but as usual will sing two songs on Speech Night. On Sunday, 2nd March, Miss Shaw, Miss Leigh and Miss Blowes, took the Boarders' Choir to Dookie, to sing the anthem, " Lord, for Thy tender mercies' Sake," at an Old Collegians' Service. At our Annual School Service, they sang the Introit, " 0 taste and see," by Vaughan Williams, and the anthem, an arrangement of Psalm 23, by Robin Milford. On the last Sunday of the year, the Choir, aided by the Junior Choir, will sing a service of nine Carols and Lessons. The third, and most successful " Four Schools' Night," was held on Friday, 8th October at the Geelong Grammar School. Each school contributed to the evening's performance with choral and orchestral work. There was one piano solo, and the Geelong Grammar Brass Band played. The evening reached a climax at the end when everyone performed Benjamin Britten's setting of Psalm 150 for choir and orchestra. Our thanks go to all those concerned, for making this evening possible. Page Thirty-Five
As well as the usual piano lessons, twelve juniors have been learning the violin under the teaching of Mr. Artingstall, two girls have been learning the 'cello, two the flute, one the clarinet, and one the oboe. These girls formed an orchestra in second term, and it is hoped that they will soon be able to play in public. We wish them the best of luck for next year. The Annual Public Music Examinations were held in the Gertrude Pratt Hall on 14th and 15th October, with very commendable results. Many students who studied Theory with Miss Blowes, sat for their examinations on September 23rd. Now, on behalf of the Morongo Music Club, I would like to thank all those who have taken a personal interest in our activities. We are grateful to Miss Shaw and Miss Sutherland for their untiring concern for our musical advancement. We are indebted to the House Staff, Miss Jacka and Mrs. Taylor, and all the Music Staff for their help " behind the scenes." Finally, we must remember Miss Wadelton, who has done much to attain a high standard of music in the School. She does a lot of work which nobody ever hears of, and does not take much praise for it. We wish her and the Music Club every success for 1966. Catherine Hallam.
P.F.A. Report
Page Thirty-six
The P.F.A. this year has flourished considerably, and much of this is due to the unfailing guidance of Mrs. Shanks, who has worked hard in helping us with our services and syllabus. I would like to express our thanks to her for all she has done, and wish her luck for the years ahead. I am sure she will be greatly missed. The year began with the following office-bearers: President, Catherine Hallam; Vice-President, Robyn McAllister; Secretary, Joy Speers; Treasurer, Dierdre Permezel; Committee members, Barbara Brewster, Gillian Walter, Janice Munro, Susanne Browne, Una McIntyre and Cecily Moreton. Our membership reached a record of a hundred members, and fifty girls received their badges at the Badge Dedication Service on Sunday, 3rd September, which was taken by the Chaplain of Geelong College, Rev. J. Bentley. Two weeks after the commencement of first term, thirty members attended a P.F.A. Camp at Creswick, with twenty-two girls from Clarendon, Ballarat. The week-end was a great success, and our thanks go to all those who helped run it, and made everything possible, especially Mrs. Shanks, Miss McLeod and Miss Park. During the first term, all members busied themselves making clothes, rugs and toys for the Geelong and State Service Exhibitions, in which we won many prizes. These articles had been previously dedicated in a special service led by Mrs. McGregor from St. George's, on Thursday, 24th April. She spoke to us of her stay in Oberamm Ergau, where the world famous Passion play is held every ten years. Some soap, pencils and second hand clothes were also sent to various mission stations, and we are hoping to send another box before the end of the year. Our first P.F.A. dance with Geelong College was held on Saturday, 17th July, in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. After much preparation, it

proved a great success, and was enjoyed by all. Miss Sutherland, Mrs. Williamson, Miss McLeod and Mr. Bentley were the members of the official party. During the year, the P.F.A. took Evening Prayers twice on Sunday night, and had three major Bible Studies. Also, several girls attended the St. David's Modern Church Services on two occasions. The Morongo P.F.A. have been guests of the Geelong College P.F.A. twice this year. On Saturday, 20th March, we were invited to their dance in Morrison Hall, and on Sunday, 10th October, we combined with them at a barbecue at Moriac, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Other activities have included a talk and demonstration on make-up, sponsored by Helena Rubenstein, on Thursday, April 28th; on Thursday, 8th July, David Rammage of the Australian first VIII, came to talk to us on the Olympic Games. As well as these there has been a barbecue, a couple of work nights, games, slides and a discussion on different religions of the world. We have been very successful in money raising efforts, some of which were selling boat race ribbons, the dance, and a coffee shop. Some girls have added to the funds by making and selling crocheted collars, taking photographs, setting hair and selling drinks. These profits have been greatly appreciated. For our final and annual meeting on Thursday, 4th November, Miss Dorothy Watson, a deaconess and missionary who has recently returned from Korea, will speak to us on her life over there. Finally our thanks go to Miss Shaw, Miss Sutherland, Mrs. Shanks and Miss McLeod, for the interest and enthusiasm they have shown in helping us. To next year's P.F.A. we wish the best of luck and every success in continuing the good work of the P.F.A. in the School. Catherine Hallam.
United Nations Inter-School Committee
Pause for a moment, and consider how much or how little you know of the problems facing the various races, creeds, and nations of the world, and of the " starving millions " who constitute two thirds of the world's population. What do you know of racial injustice inside Australia, or of social injustice within your own community? " I know just as much as the next person," is the usual reply. This may be true, but surely what is even more important is whether you care enough for others to be willing to turn your concern into practic.al help, or whether you would rather turn a blind eye to such things which do not directly concern you. " What can I do to increase awareness of, and to assist to solve these problems of world importance?" It was to find the answer to this question that representatives of Morongo, together with those from other Geelong secondary schools met at Chanel College on the evening of Friday, 13th August, despite heavy opposition from tho elements. At this meeting a United Nations' Inter-School Committee was formed; the office-bearers being: Tim Mulvany (President), and Father Keating of Chanel, and Julie Cowperthwaite (Secretary), and Miss R. Collins of Morongo. The system of election to office is that the three types of secondary schools: Catholic, High Schools, and " Public Schools " be represented. Thus the office of treasurer will later be filled by a representative of the high schools of Geelong. Page Thirty-seven
The aim of the Committee is to foster interest in world problems in secondary school students. Any suggestions put forward by members pertaining to the problems of maintaining peace, or such things as world health will be forwarded to the United Nations, and investigated by them, for the United Nations Inter-School Committee is directly affiliated with the United Nations. Committee meetings will also help to break down social and religious barriers which may exist between members. The probable programme next year will be four meetings at which a talk on topical overseas affairs will be followed by discussion, and a fund-raising dance. However, it is in the hands of those of you returning to support the United Nations Inter-School Committee of 1966, which will be elected from amongst you. I urge you to give this project your enthusiasm to ensure its success. Julie Cowperthwaite. The Dramatic Report
This year the School Play was held in the afternoon for the whole School, as recent performances have shown that at night the attendance was mostly boarders. The play was the " Six Wives of Calais," with Philippa Douglas as Marguerite; Vicki Smith as Jeanne; Susan Eccles-Smith as Katherine; Mary Rylah as Suzanne; Robyn Sisson as Anne; and Anne Bishop as Claire. It told the story of the seige of Calais and of its relief. It seemed quite successful and Miss Apted said that it was one of the best audiences she has had. The Dramatic Club would like to thank Miss Apted very much for her guidance and assistance during the year. Susan Eccles-Smith.
Shakespeare Day
Morongo celebrated the four hundred and first birthday of William Shakespeare by the presentation of five excerpts from his plays by members of the senior Literature classes in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. Intermediate A gave a masterly presentation of the famous Trial Scene from " The Merchant of Venice." Elizabeth McLeod as Portia, Suzanne Campbell as Shylock, and Sandra McConaghy as Antonio were supported by Judith Vickers-Willis, Janine Anderson, Judith Reid, Heather McLennan and Glenis Harrison in the other main parts. Another well known extract from the same play was presented by Intermediate P, who acted the casket scenes leading to the climax of Bassanio's success. Principal parts were taken by Joy Barber, Noni Paterson, Sally Dorman, Alison Randle, Pearl Bop and Anne Wesley. The theme of the day was predominantly a Scottish one, as Matriculation, Leaving A, Leaving P, and Leaving G, all donned kilts and presented scenes from " Macbeth." The Murder of Duncan was acted by Leaving G, with Janet Brewster, Prudence Hewitt, Christine Moodie, Anne Martin, Glenda Tullo, Helen Minns, Jennifer Stephens and Jennifer Lowing in the speaking parts. Leaving P presented the Banquet Scene from Act III. Among the leading characters were Cecily Moreton as Macbeth, Susan EcclesSmith as Lady Macbeth, Jill Muller as Banquo, Janne Dickson as
Page Thirty-Eight
Lennox and Heather Smith, Janette Thomson and Rosemary Bell as the three murderers. Leaving A's performance of the Witches' Scene from Act IV came as a marked contrast to the Banquet, being set in a dark cave. Fiona MacAdie was ably supported by Judith Bayliss, Erica Potter, Barbara Guthrie, Heather Millikan and Judith Winkler in the other main parts. Matriculation presented some scenes from ActV leading to the death of Macbeth. The school was shocked when Macbeth's head, gory and most lifelike was triumphantly carried in by the hair. Elizabeth Honey gave a capable performance as Macbeth, as did Dorothy Johnston as Lady Macbeth, with Shelly Hancox, Joan Gillespie, Julie Cowperthwaite, Susan Hocking and Meredith Kefford in the other major roles. All the girls, both actors and spectators would like to thank Miss Williams, Mrs. Cowperthwaite and Mrs. Pearcy for the time and effort they put into making this Shakespeare Day once again an enjoyable and memorable occasion.

Earlier this term the boarding house was surprised to hear that Miss J acka will be leaving us at the end of this year. Miss J acka first came to us in 1948 as an assistant to the Matron, and in 1955 on the death of Miss Pillow became Matron. Hers has been a strenuous job, dealing with the smooth running of the boarding house, the supervision of the domestic staff and the ordering of all the stores for the kitchen. As well as all this she has always been eager to help us with our special functions such as barbecues and the School Dance. While thanking her for all she has done during her years here, we also wish her (and Simon) health and happiness for the future.

Guitarist
Backstage, just caught by the footlights glare, I notice there, his wife, Wistfully she smiles, although she knows she is his love, this instrument, this music is his life, For wrapped in the sound, his eyes half closed, head bent, he feels alone On a stage in front of hundreds — nought matters but the lilt, the clarity, the tone. Caressing fingers fill the dark with sadness singing soft and low, The feeling of an inmost soul voiced through six strings, but then who is to know When the mood will change and fingers quick and free will play a melody, more like a whim, And his foot set tapping makes you wonder does he play on it, or it on him? The instrument he holds is Spanish made, much older than the hand that plucks the strings, Its mellow tone a master's heritage, has sung for peasant children and for Kings. Rich and deep black velvet notes can banish tune and care and place, and spin a trance That fascinates by sound, by minuets, or fiery flashes of a gypsy dance. It is as if the instrument — a lovely magic box, and of the world, all people, there is only he Who knows the way to bring the still to life, to coax it wide, the way to turn the key. Elizabeth Honey (18 years).
A Spear of Thought
On the fifth day, I discovered the cave. I remember distinctly because Bob had arranged for us to meet the main party on the seventh, at the head of the Areyonga valley. Although the light was dim, I was able to recognize the incision boards, the kurdaitcha shoes, the churingas propped against the sienna coloured walls. The incision boards were too big to carry so I took a churinga and hid it in my knapsack, for Bob had been insistent that as we had special permission from the Native Affairs Department to visit this area for the purpose of gathering rock specimens, then rock specimens we must gather and nothing — absolutely nothing else must be touched. This tribe, the Pitzendadjara, were completely uncivilized. Bob professed to know about the Aborigines as his father had been in the same unit as Bill Harney and after the War had visited the interior on several occasions and become interested enough to collect books on parasychology and works by Professor Elkin of the Sydney University. Actually the Pitzendadjara might not be friendly, but neither were they hostile. We only saw them in the distance, although there was one young man with a light brown beard and a thin white bone through the pierced septum of his nose, who seemed to spend a lot of time staring down on us from the rocky, red wall that formed the canyon.
Page Fifty-four
By the light of the fire I examined the churinga, when the others were asleep and suddenly he was there — just beyond the circle of light — silent, motionless and staring. Next morning I decided to put it back, for I began to remember stories of strange happenings. Those three members of Carter's team had died after opening Tutenkhamen's tomb. However, I was unable to find the cave again, and I didn't want to ask anyone to help, so I decided to pitch it away after dark. Anyway, we were leaving next day. I was fumbling in my knapsck when I saw him — again just beyond the circle of light. He was crouching in the dust and pointing something — a slender white bone about nine inches long and ground to a fine point. At the other end was a blob of black and a long cord of hair. Suddenly I realized. He was " pointing the bone " at me. If I had believed in the power of the thing, I suppose I would have screamed or fainted. Instead I went to sleep and later forgot all about it in the excitement of going home and the new term at College. Then while cataloguing my rocks, I came across the churinga and thought it might be interesting to borrow those books from Bob's father. There were descriptions of various " bones." The death chant of the Aranda had been translated: " May your heart be rent asunder May your backbone be split open May your ribs be torn asunder May your head and throat be split open." According to what I had seen and heard, I was to die in six months. Of course nothing would happen to me. But just supposing — maybe I should go home for more weekends — but the family would think I had been jilted or lost my skiis or something. This " bone pointing " would only be applicable to aborigines anyway. But Lasseter was white. He had been " pointed " and he had died. It's futile saving money for next year if there isn't going to be a next year. That gorgeous pink formal — the new parka —. There would be a next year. There must be a next year. It's useless slaving for exams if one won't live through them. Why not tell Dad, I have only five months to live. How about shouting me a trip abroad?" Dad treats it as a joke. Better let it stay a joke. He couldn't afford it anyway. The finals are important. Have to make up for lost time. Have to study at weekends. Shadows are disturbing. Shadows like spinifex. Wind is disturbing. Like the wind in the red sandhills. Tzalkalieu used to trickle the red sand through his fingers as he talked about the rituals. Have to make up time. Study all night. Sleep all day, when it's warm. When there are no soft noises. " Doctor, I have only four months to live." Page-Fifty-five
" Overwork." " Anti-tension pills." " More fresh air." " Thanks Dad. A month's holiday in New Zealand was marvellous. I'm fine now. I'll soon catch up with the course and I'll pay you back when I'm through and earning a decent salary." All those letters. Should burn them. Doesn't do to leave letters lying around. A good idea too, to tidy all those drawers. Leave everything shipshape. Make a list of all the things one would do if one could. Make two lists. A crazy list like smoking opium, robbing a bank. A plausible list, like flying to Europe, writing a book. Can't write a book in three weeks. Everybody's making plans for summer jobs. Should spend more time at home. After all, if one had an accident or something, one wouldn't want to be remembered as selfish. Could visit the old Aunt in the Hospital. Let's take in all the shows. I'll pay. After all, you can't take it with you. Not that I'm going anywhere, at least not yet. Not for a week. Would you show me how to make a will. There's no money but there's some old jewellery and some books. And a churinga. But I shall return the churinga. The Manager, Woodenbong Settlement, Dear Mr. Stratton, I am posting a churinga which I stole from a certain cave near the Areyonga valley. Would you return it to Tzalkalieu and thence to its rightful owners. There is no need to acknowledge this, as by tomorrow I shall be dead. Remember you once quoted Tzalkalieu as saying, " A man's life goes away like sand, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. But when a man is pointed his life is finished." Dorothy Johnston (17 years).
The Search For Happiness
Oh happiness, so transient a thing; When once its summit reached, We fall, and must begin again. It is like a haunting time, that never quite comes clear, And, as we grow in thought and mind it seems to disappear. When we were young, a toy or pleasant taste Could raise ecstatic joy upon our face. While age brings greater wisdom and makes us more discerning. We lose the simple pleasures of our childhood yearning, And sometimes lose the theme of our search, Detracted by a lust for material success. Though in our heart we know it will not bring happiness. Mary Debrett (16 years).

Black and White
Black and white did play till black and white did fight till 40 bodies lay upon the bloody ground. In Alabama where they fight in protest of their denied rights And marchers pass before the wondering eyes of those that know not yet themselves. Born and raised but not to own or to belong like neighbours' kids. And not to live where they would like or go to school where white kids go. And little girls play hide and seek or dressing dollies big and white. And in God's eyes were all the same. Blacks and whites and stars and stripes and sticks and stones and Civil rights. Racial fights and broken bones and all of them ungodly sights like selfish moans of jealous whites. Jennifer Henton (15 years).
Macbeth: Apologies to Will. S.
ACT I: In the North Scottish Highlands on a Heath we are told, Three hideous witches did meet in the cold To greet brave Macbeth and offsider, Banquo, So their futures and fates the two men might know. " Thane of Glamis and Cawdor and later the king " Seemed to Macbeth an incredible thing. Though deep down he knew it to be his desire To the witches he turned in a rage, screaming " Liar." On returning to camp Macbeth found it true For Cawdor had fouled and been given his due. Duncan, the king, said, " Macbeth is our choice," So to Mac' the news came by foot and by voice. Our hero was startled, but then he did know Two hits had been scored, thus one to go. An informative note to wife he did write To tell her that Dunc' would be staying the night. Through the halls of the castle Lady Mac ran To make ready all for her murderous plan. ACT II: In the still of the night, when all were abed The dagger Mac saw in his hands turning red. This frightening sight did curb his desire But the words of his wife put flame to the fire. Up in the chamber the dire deed was done Though sore was his heart when the king's blood did run. He returned to his wife who cried out ," We're damn'd " On seeing the daggers were still in his hand. Up to the chambers Lady Mac did them take Page Fifty-seven
For she knew neither Duncan nor guards would awake. Although somewhat shaken, asleep they did fall To be wakened at dawn by Lennox's call. Soon the king he did find, and came crying out Though the murderer's name was a little in doubt, Malcolm and Donalbain, sons of the king Were very upset by this terrible thing. In the heat of the moment they decided to flee To England and Ireland respectively. Our noble Macbeth to his delight found He'd be going to Scone the next day to be crowned. ACT III: Something the witches foretold I'd forgot `Though it surely is clear that king Mac' had not. " The begetter of kings " they said Banquo would be But Mac' was quite sure that they had meant, he. Yet, doubts they did linger in black Macbeth's head Concluding that Banquo'd be better off dead. Two of Mac's chosen murderers accomplished the deed But this time the heart of our hero n'er grieved. Although he was chafed that Fleance had flown He had called for a banquet all of his own. When all his fine nobles assembled were there He was offered a place in good Banquo's chair. T'was then that king Mac did receive such a fright For the ghost of Thane Banquo did him make turn white. Lady Mac to the Lords did turn with a smile And using the whole of her feminine guile Declared that oftimes she, herself, had Suspected the king was a little bit mad. Neglecting all bother of curtsies and show She begged them to please just quietly go. This they all did, though some said it was time Foreign aid for revolt they should go find. ACT IV: Macbeth once again his position did fear So set off, the words of the witches to hear. On the Heath they did chide yet said " Laugh to scorn 99 Macbeth none need fear who's of woman born." The third said Macbeth never vanquished would be Till to Dunsinane Hill came the Burnam wood tree. Last came a procession of upright young kings Behind which the ghost of friend Banquo did spring. These all disappeared as quick as they came And Mac found on his tongue there was but one name. " Macduff " who was loyal, to England had fled " Then we shall kill those whom his hand path fed." On the news that his chickens all had been slain Macduff vowed he'd soon be in Scotland again. ACT V Back in Scotland for Mac, things did look bad, They say that his wife turned a little bit mad. And very soon after, we all had read That Mac's sweet little spouse was unfortunately, dead. Page Fifty-eight
He still went on thinking that all would be right For in Burnam wood lay much of his might. And all, so he thought, had of woman been born So that ideas of defeat were merely to scorn. Yet, when through the window, someone said " see," Mac was startled to find he was facing a tree. It was indeed true that great Burnam wood Had risen, and come, to fight for the good. You see, Macduff's men did carry before them a branch of a tree right up to Mac's door. Before long, Macduff and Macbeth each did face And Mac said to Duff, " hold, stand in your place You never can kill one such as me For this life of mine, a charmed one doth be. It's written of old, thus I do scorn To any to yield who's of woman born." " Then take the last breath of your murderous life Said to Macbeth, the brave thane of Fife. " Not to me did my mother normal birth give, I was untimely ripped — and strongly do live. So put down your arms, or fight for your life I avenge many others as well as my wife." Well, the outcome you've guessed, down Macbeth he did go To join all his friends in the depths far below. Malcolm was crowned, and home he did call His friends and his nobles, each, one and all. Thus, Macbeth he did end as the witches did say And there ends this tale of Will Shakespeare's great play. Lynne McGregor (16 years).
Brown
Brown is beautiful Australia, Brown is the velvet dress made by the tailor, Brown is the walnut, brown is its shell, Brown are the trees in the forest to fell. Brown is my hair, And brown are your eyes, And brown is the colour when everything dies. Jennifer Bartlett (11 years).
The Chain of Daisies
There were fourteen— pale, delicate and pink. Fresh at first, but now they witheied. From Life they had been taken— now they were dying. Not for years, as we, had they thrived: Barely days had passed since their beginning. And now, now without purpose, they went— Their death slow and pitiful. Picked in a moment of haste, the chain was now discarded, forgotten and the daisies were dying. There were fourteen— pale, delicate and pink. PETAL, Matriculation. Page Fifty-nine
War
The soldier peered fearfully over the edge of the bomb crater and gazed at his dead comrades, lying face down in the mud. He saw in horror great bloody gashes in their bodies, and severed limbs lying in mangled heaps beside their dead owners. His stomach turned uneasily at the stench of blood and his eyes closed to block out the sight, but the light shining through his eyelids glowed red like a sea of blood and he opened them. Moving his arm blindly he felt something and the path of his gaze fell upon a dead man. The man's eyes were closed but his hands were clasped as though in prayer. The soldier slapped his hand on the ground. " What good would prayer do. Man had left God and his laws and followed a path of evil and destruction. How could God listen now?" A burning lump rose in his throat and he bravely fought to swallow it, but it persisted. Everyone was dead. The battle field was strewn with bodies, friend and foe. Not one of them had felt any true malice towards his enemy. They were just soldiers. Some perhaps had fought with a purpose, a deep down cause, but the others had deep down come to fight for the sake of the honour and glory of being a soldier. But there was none of this, only toil and hardship. They worked themselves to a state of exhaustion and then died. Few went down on the honour list but they all died bravely. This was what war had done to them; knocked them down in their prime, spirited young men with a whole life, a career ahead of them. War had killed them. The soldier gazed up at the now darkened sky. On the horizon the lights caused by explosives shivered. He shuddered at the thought of lost lives each time a bomb exploded. He lay back and thought. The pain in his leg where he had been shot was bad, but worse still was the thought of his family and other families' sufferings. It pierced his mind making him raise his hands to his temples and cry out in anguish. He hated war and bloodshed. It was so stupid and unnecessary. What use was war; but to satisfy the aggressive nature of man? Yet surely man's brain could master this weakness, great though it is? Man is intelligent and has means and ways of keeping peace, but he is too lazy to act and prefers the shortcuts, war! Oh God if only we could lose the will to fight and conquer and recognize equality. What a peaceful contented world it would be then.' There was a rustle and the soldier broke away from his thoughts. Two figures stood at the edge of the crater. They moved towards him and he recognized them as the enemy. The younger of the two leant forward to look. His eyes were filled with a sad regretful expression and he held his hand out in a gesture of help. Through his dimmed mind the soldier realised with joy, here was a man with no deep hate for the enemy. The older man roughly pulled his comrade away and lifted his rifle to strike. Swiftly in a determined movement the enemy lunged the rifle down savagely. The rifle butt struck heavily, cracking the skull. There was a flash of light and he was dead. Carol Feagan (14 years).

Linzy
My big sister is one of the main people in this story. It starts at the beginning of the year. When Vicky (my big sister) goes to school (the first day in the year), I can't tell you what happened, but I can tell you this. She met a girl called Jenny Lines. She forgot about Diane or Libby or even me! It was just Linzy! Linzy! LINZY! (Linzy was Jenny's nick-name). It was " Can I have Linzy out Mum." all first term. " Can I have Linzy stay a week Mum." (And of course Mum said " Yes darling.") all second term. We went away for the holidays. Vicky and Linzy used to write letters to each other — you should have heard the things they said, " Hi Vick, remember the secret code a/-I- L—/7/I5Ag:—/ (I don't know what it means). When we got home Vicky got a terrible shock. Linzy had gone away. Mum said " I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but I knew." Vicky was sad for a week, she wouldn't eat or sleep or talk or go to school. But we cheered her up, Diane, Libby and ME! Jennifer Marks (10 years).
Pukamanes
These tribal ceremonies are only performed in Australia at the Snake Bay settlement on Melville Island, north of Darwin. When someone dies, the Aborigines have four months to mourn, and the life story of the deceased is danced in these four months. The friends and relatives are not allowed to touch food or drink with their body or wash themselves and have to be fed by someone else who is not a relation or friend of the deceased. The most important friend or relation has to pay the diggers to dig the grave for the coffin. They bury the coffin with dry leaves and sand and cover the hole with earth. They have Pukamane Poles which are carved in the middle of the bush, and when they are ready these are carried to the settlement where they are painted with colours which are made from the rocks (like clay) in a tiwi design which is a tribal one. They use red, black, white and tan. This is done a week before the actual ceremony. 4it elf On the burial day, all the old men and women of the tribe are painted by others, who will not be dancing. They are painted with the same design as the poles. The white paint looks good against the dark skin. Gum leaves are put around the hole with the coffin in it, to hide it from the devil. Just before the ceremony, the mourners light a fire and dance around it, and on it to make sure the devil is away from the burial place. They come to the ceremonial grotmds with the poles assembled a bit away from the spot and they come in and mourn round the grave. Then begins the dance telling the dead person's life story. The women are to one side and the men to the other. The first thing they do is go round in circles, stamping their feet and clouds of dust fly up everywhere. Then they do the rest of the story in dancing and singing. Page Sixty-one
After they have finished they take the leaves away and put the poles in the holes already dug. Then they go away and leave it and do not care about what happens to the deceased after putting in the Pukamane Poles. Anyone can watch this colourful but sad ceremony. Sonia Lucas (14 years).
The Ballad of Peter Finch
One fine day right out of the sky, A beautiful bird did drop to die. A beautiful bird, quite freshly dead, With golden wings and a scarlet head. We planted the bird, quite freshly dead, With golden wings and a scarlet head. We gave him a Christian end indeed, For we prayed these words which you may read: L'ode A Pierre Finch Mon Pauvre oiseau, vous etes mort, Mais tout le monde vous reconnait Parce que vache et moi vous avons met Dans la terre, pour aller a Dieu. Vous etiez un oiseau, rouge et jaune, Mais parce que vous etiez jeune Dieu vous a prit de cette terre Pleine de la guerre et de l'hostilite. Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust— If the devil doesn't get you the dry-rot must. Yet believe it if you will that a miracle ,God gave To the saddened mourners by that dead bird's grave. We heard a plaintive melody sweetly trill, Yet all around about us the air was still. From the grave a wing came poking through, And the dead bird's spirit told this tale — and `tis true. " My name is Peter Finch, but my friends may call me Pete, And I very nearly choked beneath the earth in all this heat. But the good Lord gave me life so that I might tell Of the evils of this world and the punishment of Hell. They crucified Him long ago upon a distant hill, Yet even in this modern world they crucify Him still By their hatreds and their vices and their inconsideration Of the rights of individuals of every creed and nation. Man proudly boasts that all is his that ever was created, Forgetting that our Father, God, can never be outdated, And the promise that at harvest time for all our works we're paid. So be ye warned, He'll execute His wrath on Judgement Day." So saying little Pete withdrew to Heavenly rest, For now we knew that life on earth was indeed a test, And we thanked the Lord above for the bird quite freshly dead, With the golden wings and the scarlet head. Matriculation.

Sunset
The crimson sun sets the waters aglow With a fiery venom — from hull to bow Its hatred shines on a battle field of blood. A sheen of gold is passed o'er the scene As the golden sun shines with a softer gleam Mingling with love's sweet sighs. It sinks to a lower ebb — the tide Rolls in again, its pale wan Light sinks behind the clouds — All sustenance is gone . . . .
To Charles
Catriona McGregor (13 years).
The heir to the throne, he is coming non-stop, He'll soon be a pupil at our Timbertop. Will it be Charles, Highness, or Sir? Oh, which of these, which of these, which shall occur? His Highness can cope with a three-mile long hike, But what of his guard — has he a bike? Together they'll wander through our fair terrain, But what would they do if it started to rain? Of mothers and fathers — oh, hundreds there'll be, But is it their sons whom they wish so to see? It's the Prince feeding pigs, or the Prince making beds, Or the Prince chopping twigs, or the Prince counting heads. And when he has gone, they will keep all his " toys," To sell, and make money from all other boys. They'll say; " Here's the pillow that he did once use, So why don't you buy it, your friends to amuse?" And so goes the heir, soon our wonderful king, What wonders he'll do, and what praises we'll sing. He'll be a great man — the one on the hop, For he's our great hero from Timbertop! Carole McKenzie (16 years).
Volcanic Caves
On our property, about a quarter of a mile from the house, is the only distinctive feature we are able to claim, the volcanic caves. These were found during the eruption of a small volcano many many years ago. People of all types come from far and near to inspect these caves, as they are said to be the largest volcanic caves in Australia. An unusual thing about them is that they house an underground lake which we use for garden and sanitation purposes. In the little hollow in which the entrance lies, ferns grow wildly and a fresh path must be made each summer. The half-opened cavern where everyone lights their candles, torches and lamps is gaily decorated by the colourful, painted signatures of visitors, often dating well back into the nineteenth century. To enter the second cavern one must crawl on hands and knees through a short tunnel. The guide (my father or my brother) Page Sixty-three
then leads the way left, through an opening and into the main cavern which is called " The Ballroom " because in earlier years, dancing took place there. The party turns and proceeds back through the opening and follows the wall on the right until it comes to a very slippery incline. Beyond this is a pile of rocks to be traversed before reaching the beginning of the tunnel which eventually leads to the lake. The people who emerge into the Lake cavern are muddy, wet characters who look as though they have just stepped out of a nightmare. Since going through the hole they have twisted, turned and been under ledges which they thought were impossibly difficult. But the sight of the crystal clear water rippling like a cracked mirror is well worth it. Unfortunately the water is not drinkable and is far too cold to swim in. Daylight meets the gaze with a sudden brightness and the serenity which has been with the group, now breaks as babbling excitement fills the air. Everyone is out, safe and well, and the dogs are waiting to go home. Glenda Notman (14 years).
The Old Man
He's old and he's grey, And his back's tired and bent, But the days of his youth, Had been happily spent. For when he was young, So daring and bold, Not a thought had he spared, For the maimed and the old. Yes his youth was so carefree, But now he is sad, As he sits and he thinks Of the times he has had. Sheena Henton (11 years).
Nightmare
Page Sixty-four
The pitch blackness enveloped me, closing round me as if I were in a tomb. The roar was deafening and I could see nothing. I did not even know how I had got there. My head was throbbing and my legs felt weak because the heat had been increasing gradually until now it seemed that I could bear it no longer. It was like being in a furnace. I could hardly breathe. I tried to scream, but my throat was parched and no sound came. I knew I had to escape somehow, but the darkness seemed to continue into eternity. I tried to run, but my feet felt like lead and I could not lift them. I had to get out. I groped around me, but could feel nothing except the stifling heat. I thought that my eardrums would burst with the noise. Suddenly I could run, so I ran for what seemed like hours, struggling to escape from it — but got nowhere. I kept tripping over nothing. I got up again and ran wildly through the unbearable heat. I was terrified and exhausted. I was bathed in perspiration and my hair straggled all over my face. The heat increased and I could no longer breathe: I gasped and stumbled. Suddenly I was falling — falling as if through a vacuum. The noise became a high-pitched scream: I thought my head would split: I couldn't bear it. The heat was burning my skin: I had to get away: I was being tortured.
What could I do? Where was I? There was only inky blackness, and heat, and noise — and me. I was still falling through darkness. There was a dazzling flash of white light. The noise became louder. I screamed Suddenly there was silence. I heard a distant voice which sounded unreal — " All right, nurse, you can take her back to the ward. 59 She's coming out of the anaesthetic Christine Duncan (13 years).
Examinations
EXAMINATIONS! HORRORFICATIONS! The end of the year, We're nearly there. What's the date? It's nearly too late To quietly sit And learn a bit, For those drastic shams— The final exams!
It's the end of the year And exams are here. The school is alive And it's not yet five, And we try to cram For these awful exams. Two hours long We sit in a flum, Trying to slave While sleep we crave.
We laugh and shout And think about Lots of fun— Days in the sun! Only a fool Thinks of school All of a-fright! We've seen a sight— Man 0 man, Our final exams!
So use your sense And intelligence. Work from the first And not in a burst. Don't be like me Who didn't forsee 'Cause now I'm a-fright— Exams are in sight. HORRORFICATIONS!! EXAMINATIONS! ! Cecily Moreton (15 years).
Mummy's Birthday
A Lament from Remove I
From Auntie you got a diamond ring, From Uncle you got a fur coat, From Daddy you got some beauty cream, From me you got — the best of all A hug and a kiss and a broken Dish. Patricia Corlett (11 years). It's sad to be only eleven And the " squirt " of the whole class to boot. My efforts to score on the basketball floor Often cause the whole team to hoot. At swimming I haven't the strength or the puff To compete with the older and bigger. And at tennis and hockey I just raise a laugh From girls of more mature figure. My appetite's good so I eat all my food, And to add some more weight would he heaven; But sad to relate, I gain no more weight. What a fate to be only eleven! Alison Duncan (11 years). Page Sixty-five
The Waterfall
The bright sun shone down on the little country valley. Nearby a tiny waterfall trickled down a small ravine into the gully below. Starting as a bubbling stream it flowed smoothly on, shaded by drooping willows. On and on it flowed along the pebble-strewn ground. Suddenly it reached a smooth ledge of rock. There it knew it was to be a waterfall. Down, down and down it leapt, bouncing and frothing, sparkling and splashing, gleaming and dancing, sparkling in the sunlight and sulking coldly in the little backward pools. Then, its energy spent, it found peace in a silent pool. And as it trickled on it seemed to know the pleasure it gave to, those who watched its gay antics. Jane Peirson (12 years).
Colour, Texture Harmony
Colour is similar to chequers on a chequerboard where both the colours and the chequers can be moved round in different ways so that different variations can occur. The chequerboard is the texture on which the colours are moved and thus colour and texture are very closely allied. Raw Sienna has a rugged texture, like a lone monumental rock in a desert with the sun picking out the rough edges in yellow ochre, and illuminating the sharply defined cracks and the rough hewn crannies. Delicate rose pink, carmine or deep purple are colours which can be arranged in swishes of silken folds which drape in a sophisticated fashion over a chaise lounge, perhaps already decorated with smooth scarlet satin cushions. Lemon, lime tango! These are exuberant and lush colours that fairly ooze, drop by drop to form a fruity mass of coloured tissue; or again olive, warm, murky, is a shade that blends with mellow honeysuckle or the rich brown honey that spins clear gold in circles. In direct contrast pale blue in an insipid colour, which, in the iris, lasts only a few days. In these flowers, it is just as if the colour has managed to recover slightly from an illness and suddenly has had a relapse, sinking into a scented coma of whiteness again. Texture is seen where the aged sun filters through the wire netting gate, throwing beautiful patterns in shadows on to the flagstones; and all the delicate shades of tan, cream and gold make up the elm seeds which drift from the trees in a miniature brown snowstorm. Kaleidoscopes of colour are everywhere; in the changing patterns of the trees, in the eyes of a cat or in the rain blurred lights of a city by night, and harmony between colour and texture depends on the way the chequers are arranged to fit the chequerboard. Jane Honman (17 years).
A Dentist's Waiting Room
Page Sixiy-six
" Grab his legs," I heard him shout, " We'll get him yet without a doubt," For this tooth really must come out. The dentist pulled and tugged in vain, And tried and tried and tried again, And suddenly there came a shout, Instead of one, the lot came out. Susan McConnell (12 years).
The Evil
They sat down together One warm spring day By the freshly washed daisies And the new mown hay, The clear blue sky vibrated with song But the blow seems more fatal When nothing seems wrong. It first stole their speech Then their sight then their sound It sucked out their minds Till their souls it found. It then crept away with a stealthy tread To a place for the dark, for the evil and dead. But they remained sitting there, hollow and dry Their sightless eyes staring At the burnished brass sky. Their voiceless lips muttered Strange curses and moans While their senseless hands fingered The blue-bird's bleached bones. They sit there for ever In that lifeless, feared place. With horror about them And etched on their face. Patsy Bladen (18 years).
The Flynn Church
Sunday dawned bright and early. Already people were up and about at St. Phillip's College. This college is about a mile from the centre of Alice Springs. The rocky outcrop was swarming with youths and adults dressed in bright colours. They were venturing out this morning to see the brilliant sunrise. About half an hour later after the sun had risen in the east they descended the outcrop of rocks. After an appetizing breakfast we set out for the Flynn Church in the centre of the Alice. The church is very impressive. To enter you must cross a pond which is called the Water of Life. Then you find yourself in a church which symbolizes the aeroplane used for the Flying Doctor Service. The back of the church is made of stone found in the district. It has a mural painted on its surface. Included in this mural are a nurse's veil, a pedal radio, a camel's saddle and a Bible. Behind this wall there is a museum. It contains various kinds of pedal radios and books, in which the congregation took great interest. Outside is the hut in which Flynn and Traeger tried out experiments, now used by the church's gardener to house his tools. This church is marvelled at by all outsiders. Margaret McLean (11 years).

A Junior's Plea for Liberty, 1965
In '64 our Head was Eaton " Her " reputation can't be beaten, This year it's Heather who when all told— Has really taken quite a hold. Our Seniors said: In '65 For the highest we will strive. We'll make those little juniors see How we can use authority." Of course we juniors always suffer, This year the pre's are even tougher. They're oh so strict and see that we Obey the rules most carefully. Sometimes we think authority Goes to the head of a pre' But we s'pose when one's in Matric like you One has the right to air one's view. The prefects usually catch us, But occasionally they fail, You take a glance behind— () there's one on my trail. Now where did I put my gloves? Quick find them on the double. Too late, oh bother! Once again you find yourself in trouble! " But I left them home," you say, She replies: " Now don't be rude." You get five hundred lines, Depending on her mood. Then next day at recess To her your lines you hand. " How many people helped with these?" She'll angrily demand. So once again you find You seem to be in trouble. " I want the lines repeated, and you can do them double." Oh how you long for when You'll be a senior too, And treat poor little juniors As the seniors treated you. So Seniors, won't you hear our plea; We will humbly bow to thee. Ourselves we must enjoy when young, For soon to Seniors we'll have sprung. But we do not bear any grudge, For through our school years we will trudge Until one day we're Seniors too, And have to keep the rules like you. Jennifer McConnell (13 years).

OLD COLLEGIANS' ASSOCIATION Office-Bearers for 1966: President: Mrs. Dorothy Ruxton. Senior Vice-President: Mrs. Jennifer Heath. Junior Vice-President: Mrs. Eathorne Pavia. Secretary: M rs. Beverley Williams. Assistant Secretary: Miss Joan Habergham. Treasurer: Mrs. Eathorne Pavia. Assistant Treasurer: Mrs. Barbara Carr. "Lucernian" Representative: Miss Jean Renton]. ANNUAL REPORT I have pleasure in presenting the Annual Report of the Old Collegians' Association. The year has passed very quickly with a number of activities. Our President, Dorothy Ruxton, has encouraged us with her capable leadership. We thank her and the Committee for their support and interest. RE-UNION The Annual Re-union and Meeting was held at the School on 14th November. Once again a luncheon proved most popular and this preceded the Annual Meeting in the Gertrude Pratt Hall. Our guests included Miss Shaw, representatives of the School staff, the prefects, and representatives from P.L.C., M.L.C., Melbourne Grammar, the Hermitage, Mrs. Minson (Combined Old Girls' Association) and Mrs. Higginbotham. We were sorry Miss Pratt was not able to be with us. IN MEMORIAM It was with deep regret that we heard early this year of the sudden death of Nancy Harding (White). Nancy was educated at Morongo and proved to
be one of our most interested Old Collegians. She was always ready to work for and attend our functions and she had a very keen interest in the School. At the time the Gertrude Pratt Hall was dreamed of Nancy was always there, ready to do her part. She had many friends in the Association and we extend our sincere sympathy to her family. In August of this year we were shocked to read of the tragic car accident in which Winifred Hutchins (May) of Beaufort, was killed. Winnie spent some vears as a boarder at Morongo and was an interested Old Collegian attending reunions during the last few years. She had a family of four, two girls and two boys—Elizabeth, also an Old Collegian, had just completed her course in hairdressing and her mother had seen her established in Beaufort. Winifred was a great church worker— during eight years she did not miss one Sunday at Sunday School and she carried this on in later years into her church life. To her family we extend our very sincere sympathy- in their great loss. NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN The National Council held a luncheon on 7th December to which the Presidents of all affiliated organisations were invited. Eathorne Pavia and June McColl continue to represent the Association at the Council meetings. June is their Secretary.. SWIMMING SPORTS The Old Collegians were represented in the traditional relay race by Felice Dougall, Jan Park, Jaqueline de Ferranti and Jan Gray. Congratulations to these girls on gaining second place. GARDEN FETE As the weather on the day of the fete was overcast and showery most of the stalls were held indoors. However, it proved a financial and social success. £250 was received by each organisation. Of interest to Old Collegians was the Page Sixty-nine
sale of their recipe books. 140 was included in fete proceeds, the balance of £29 together with the £250 has been put into a Special Account. This will be used for a gift to the School as yet to be decided upon. PARENTS AND FRIENDS The Parents' and Friends' Association have invited the President and and Secretary of the Old Collegians' Association to join their executive meetings. We welcome this opportunity of meeting with representatives of the other organisations working for Morongo. STAFF ENTERTAINMENT In April this year the Committee entertained the Staff of Morongo at a buffet dinner in the C.A.A. rooms. It is pleasing to meet new members of staff at these gatherings and welcome back others. ATHLETIC SPORTS Congratulations to Jan Parke, Winsome Newberry, Kay McMiken and Donna Lee on gaining second place for the Old Collegians in the relay. "SUN" TENNIS CUP On 20th March Rosemary Stewart, Diane Longwell, Helen Carlile and Jessica Selle represented Morongo Old Collegians in this competition. We were pleased to be able to field a team this year, the girls enjoying their day. "SUN" GOLF CUP Helen Williams, Peg Roydhouse, Marjorie Henshaw, Marjorie Reeve, Joy Harvey, and Marjorie Carroll were our team for the Golf Cup. Although the girls did- not win they enjoyed their day. PRESENTATION TO MISS SHAW I feel sure we were all thrilled to hear of Miss Shaw's proposed trip abroad and have followed her travels On behalf of all Old with interest. Collegians she was presented with a travelling case. The presentation took place at the Annual Meeting of the Parents' and Friends' Association. Page Seventy
COMBINED OLD GIRLS' ASSOCIATION Two members of Melbourne Branch represented Morongo at the April meeting. HORSHAM Twenty Old Collegians from surrounding districts were present at a gathering in Horsham on 22nd May. Miss Sutherland, Mrs. Ruxton and Miss Leigh travelled from Geelong for the occasion. LUNCHEON On 20th June a luncheon was held in the Y.W.C.A. hall. This proved most successful. The guest speaker was Mr. D. Fallaw from the Australian Wool Board, and he gave a most interesting talk on the care of woollens. A cheque for £50 was presented to Mrs. McIntyre as Chairman of the Anti-Cancer Campaign, \Vomens' Appeals Committee. ANNUAL CHURCH SERVICE The Annual School Church Service was held in the Gertrude Pratt Hall on 1st August when the Rev. H. Roberts conducted the service. It was pleasing to have the School Chaplain, the Rev. K. McLean, also with us on this occasion. Only a small number of Old Collegians was present, but as this is to be a fixture in the School Calendar, we hope more Old Collegians will join with the girls in future services. BRANCHES MELBOURNE Dorothy Ruxton and Jennifer Heath attended the 1964 October meeting of Melbourne Branch, and in May Jennifer Heath and Beverley Williams represented Geelong Branch. Both meetings were well attended and all enjoyed meeting old friends. WESTERN DISTRICT Miss Shaw, Dorothy Ruxton and Beverley Williams joined the Western District Branch at their Annual Church Service held in February. After the service all the Old Collegians travelled to the property of Mrs. Atkinson-Grimshaw where a delightful luncheon was served.
The Annual Meeting took place in Colac, at the home of Evelyn Bilson on 2nd October. Dorothy Ruxton, Eathorne Pavia and Beverley Williams were pleased to be present.
GOULBURN VALLEY Miss Shaw and Miss Leigh travelled to Dookie with several members of the School Choir for their Church Service in May. The Annual Meeting was held in Shepparton on 21st August, and Dorothy Ruxton attended. Old Collegians continue to meet in four parts of Victoria and it is pleasing to see these girls interested to keep in touch with their school friends. GENERALLY To all those who have assisted us during the year we offer our thanks. Miss Shaw and Miss Sutherland have been most co-operative and helpful. We extend our gratitude to Miss Jacka and the domestic staff for their assistance, and to Mr. Geoff. Neilson, our grateful thanks for his work as auditor. Congratulations to all members who have become engaged, married or welcomed little ones to their homes. Our sincere sympathy to those who have suffered sorrow. The Association welcomes with pleasure the girls leaving school this year. We hope they will enjoy their association with Morongo as an Old Collegian as much as when a pupil. Beverley Williams, Honorary Secretary.
YOUNGER SET ANNUAL REPORT, 1965 I have pleasure in presenting the 1965 Annual Report of the Younger Set. The meetings during the year have been well attended which is very encouraging, but a special invitation is given to younger members of the Old Collegians' Association and the girls leaving Morongo this year to attend our monthly meetings. This year has been busy and interesting and our activities have included a
Mix and Muddle Night, Theatre Night, Swimming at Trezise's Gym., and preparations for the stall. In May we enjoyed a Progressive Supper held in homes in the Newtown area and we are grateful to the various hostesses for that occasion. We were pleased to welcome Rotary Exchange Student, Sharon Kaylor to our July meeting. Sharon who is from Sydney, Nebraska, not Sydney, Australia, showed us slides and we listened with much interest to her account of life in her home town. In August we held a Car Trial and we ended up at Glenys Knight's, Lara, for supper, which turned out to be a surprise birthday party for Glenys. As a result of good organisation by an enthusiastic sub-committee, the Mannequin Parade held in the Gertrude Pratt Hall on Friday, 1st October, was a great success socially and financially. The Parade was sponsored by the Myer Emporium and our guest artist was one of our Matriculation students, Elizabeth Honey, who sang a bracket of folk songs. Once again we plan to hold a stall on Old Collegians' Day, Saturday, 13th November. The final meeting this year will be a Dinner held at the Kingsway Motel on Thursday, 2nd December, at 6.30 p.m. The Secretary, Diann Winkler ; Treasurer, Jan Park, and members of the Younger Set join me in expressing thanks and appreciation to Miss Shaw, Miss Sutherland, Mrs. Ruxton and the Committee of the Old Collegians for their assistance during the -year. In Conclusion I wish to thank the Younger Set Secretary, Treasurer and Committee for their unfailing help and co-operation during the year. Heather Lyons, President.

Jeannie Thomson (Currie) has also left for two years in England where her husband has a Scholarship in Electrical Engineering. Dr. and Mrs. Brian Connor (Patricia Head) are in Scotland where the doctor is doing post-graduate work. Clara Macintyre is attached to the Australian Embassy in Jakarta during the year she travelled extensively through Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Bangkok. Janne Kilsby who has been nursing in England was quietly married to John Home — they are living at Golders Green and hope to return to Australia in two year's time. Dr. and Mrs. Batt (Erina Lowson) who have been in Scotland for some years plan to sail for home before long. Elizabeth Davies has transferred to Sydney where she is with the P. & O./ Orient Shipping Lines. Margaret Winchester (Rees) is living in Kuala Lumpur. She has just spent six months in Ireland with Dr. Winchester's people — her eldest boy is at school there. Margaret has three boys. Congratulations to Elizabeth Hindell on a wonderful job with the Geelong Girls' Unity Club. She is still interested in the basketball which holds so many young people during the "night season." Eve Fadgyas has been appointed Librarian at Thomson, East Geelong. Sorry to see Elizabeth McCann and her friends had lost their very valuable riding equipment at the Royal Show — this was most disappointing after all the training they had done for the Garryowen. A letter from Elizabeth Knox tells us she is now living in Albury where she is a dental nurse and receptionist. Elizabeth Rushbrooke who is overseas is in Amsterdam at the moment. Page Seventy-two
She has been doing part time pharmacy work in London and will be returning to this. Rosalie Jones (White) left with her husband for an overseas trip. She travelled on the same ship as Miss Shaw, the Canberra. Sandy Purnell has been appointed to the staff of Alexandra College, Hamilton. Congratulations to Joan Ingpen who won the senior section of the Public Speaking at the Gordon Institute of Technology — Joan spoke on "Art in Society."
LONDON GET TOGETHER Held at " The Forum Club," 5/6/65 A letter from Margaret Sowden (Neilson) tells us that she was deputed to report on a Morongo Old Collegians' Reunion which was held as a welcome to Miss Shaw on her recent visit to England and other parts. " The prime mover of the Reunion was Nora Sutorius (Volk) who was at Morongo from 1946-1948. Nora lives in Holland and her husband who is in personnel with the Dutch Airline KLM had to visit England just at this time which certainly suited Nora. It was all arranged at fairly short notice otherwise there may have been a larger number there. Still those of us who went along thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Those present included Beth Brewster, who has been here for many years and who is finding her job as receptionist with the Immigration Department at Australia House very interesting. Norma Butcher (Schefferle) who married an Englishman just over two years ago and is still working as a dietitian in a London Hospital. Miss Phyllis Harwood who was on the staff at Morongo for some years. She was an Almoner for a while but is now lecturing in Social Studies at London University. Erica Wallace who is a journalist with Britain's largest group of national newspapers Beaverbrook Newspapers Ltd. Erica is a feature writer and most of her work is syndicated abroad. Rhonda Dainsh (Goodwin) who is in England with her husband who is with the Royal
Navy. Rhonda has two little children. Doreen Baxter has been in England about four years doing secretarial work. She left just after the reunion for a four month jaunt on the Continent per motor cycle. Nora Volk lived for some years in New York but is now back in Holland and had the great pleasure of anticipating a three days' visit from Miss Shaw when she goes to Holland. Lastly myself-1 have been over here 11 years now, was accountant with a Travel Club from 1957-1962 and enjoyed wonderful European and North African holidays as part of my job. I married in 1961 and now have a full time job looking after two boys of 3 and 14 years. One other lass was present, a friend of Carol Opperman (Laird) but I could not find out her name." One can imagine the chatter that went on — it is good to think reunions of this type can be held anywhere at all and the common interest of each one makes it so easy to chatter and be friendly. Miss Shaw also stayed with Kitty Patterson (McLellan) in Scotland but Kitty was most disappointed her programme was spoiled by torrential rain. In New York it was Kath Badger with the United Nations that Miss Shaw tried to contact without success. Then she headed up to Canada and stayed with Joanna Pyper in British Columbia where Joanna is a doctor with the North-West Health Department. The McIntyres at Vancouver were the next to welcome Miss Shaw — who can forget that jovial Mr. McIntyre, in his bright Tarn-oShanter spruiking for the skittles at several of our Garden Parties. So you see the old School has very wide boundaries for such a "young" school — and by the time this goes to print we will be welcoming our "Head" back to Morongo after what she has described as a "wonderful experience -.

WESTERN DISTRICT BRANCH Annual Report, 1965 Although it is more usual at this time to report the Annual Meeting held during October, 1964, I feel the changes decided upon at our Annual Meeting held orf the 2nd October, 1965, are of more immediate importance. We were pleased to see so many of our members present at this meeting, held at the home of Mrs. Evelyn Bilson. We decided against running dances during the ensuing year, and instead to raise funds by holding small morning coffee parties, luncheons and barbecues amongst our members and friends. The girls are asked to get together where possible on this, so that each function will have more than one hostess. Admission charges will be left to the hosPage Eighty-five
tesses to arrange and it is not necessary to obtain official permission to organise one of the above. Hostesses do not have to invite every member of our branch and may invite as many of their friends as they wish, whether Old Collegians or not. We do not expect any one of these parties to make a fortune, but if we can hold sufficient small gatherings during the year, the total money raised will be a help for the "Joyce Alexander Memorial Scholarship." The Church Service was held at St. Andrew's, Colac, in February and our thanks go to the Rev. Hastie for making us welcome. About 20 Old Collegians were present and we were pleased to have with us Miss Shaw, Dorothy Rux ton and Beverley Williams from Geelong Branch. After the service we all travelled to the property of Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson-Grimshaw where Val and her daughters had prepared a delightful lunch. Our sincere thanks to her and her family for making this possible. Miss Shaw was able to bring us up to date on School activities. Many thanks go to Dorothy Ruxton, Beverley Williams and Eathorne Pavia for the interest they have shown in our branch, and for the great help and encouragement they have been to us during their term of office. Mrs. Jessie Long, "Kurulcea," Cressy, offered her services as Secretary, Miss Jessy Borwick, Colac, is once again our very capable Treasurer, and Mrs. Dorothy Jellie and myself are the unofficial joint presidents. During the year from October, 1964 to 1965, we have been very happy to congratulate Evelyn Bilson (nee Bauer), Glenys Brooks (nee Drayton) and Una Miller (nee McLeod) on their marriages, and Judith Hutchinson (nee Pocock) and Shirley Gazzard (nee Sutherland) on the birth of their daughters. We are looking forward to a very successful year with our activities, and hope to continue for many years to come as the Western District Branch of the Morongo Old Collegians' Association. Judith Gulbin, Honorary Secretary. Page Eighty-six

GOULBURN VALLEY BRANCH Annual Report, 1965 The Goulburn Valley Branch has continued to gather Old Collegians together for several social contacts during the year. Our annual Church Service was held at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Dookie, on 2nd May, 1965, at 3 p.m. We were very delighted to have Miss Shaw with us, also members of the school choir with Miss Blowse accompanying them. They led the singing and rendered an anthem. The members of the committee entertained Miss Shaw, Miss Blowes and Miss Leigh and members of the choir to lunch in the hall prior to the service. It was pleasing to see so many Old Collegians present, to wish Miss Shaw "bon-voyage" for her holiday overseas. All present enjoyed this service very much. We are presenting two new dining chairs to Morongo, Miss Shaw has chosen a design. The Annual Reunion was held on 21st August, 1965, preceded by a luncheon at the Commodore Motel, Shepparton. We were happy to have Mrs. Ruxton as our guest, and to tell us news of the Geelong Branch. Mrs. Ruxton took the chair for the election of office-bearers for the ensuing year: President, Betty Thornton ; Secretary, Barbara Ramage (Bradshaw) ; Treasurer, Gwen Bradshaw.
This is my last report as president, and may I thank all members for their help and co-operation during my term of office. Best wishes to all Old Collegians for health and happiness during 1966, and may we all continue to give support to "Morongo" activities. Jean Fish, President.
