As I look back on this year at Morongo I have happy memories of my many " firsts " — my first School Assembly, where I received a very warm welcome from the School Council, Staff, Girls and Old Collegians — my first Sports Day where I saw (or heard) the wonderful House Spirit of the girls — my first School Service at St. David's where we heard the delightful singing of the choir and the inspiring sermon based on thoughts and ideas of some of the Fourth Form girls. These "firsts" and many more have made this year a most wonderful experience for me. It has been rewarding for me to see how many girls take an interest in the many activities at the school. The value of the school is reflected in the way each girl becomes involved in the life of the school. As mentioned at my first School Assembly it is not just buildings and beautiful grounds which make a school but the people within them. The more the girls contribute to their school life, the more they will get out of it. Every girl at Morongo has an opportunity to develop her talents and to accept responsibility so that she can take her future place in the community outside school as a responsible and reliable adult. During the year I have met many Old Collegians and I have been amazed to see 8

the great interest taken by them in the school. They have a great sense of loyalty and devotion to the school and just as they contributed to the development of the school as pupils so they are continuing to do so. I am so grateful for their interest and loyalty and I hope that girls today will show this same spirit when they leave school. Over the years many people have contributed to the life of the school and have helped to establish traditions within it. As well as the pupils and Old Collegians there are the School Council, Staff and Parents and Friends. If the quality of a school were measured by the involvement of people then Morongo would rate very high. We are indeed fortunate now, as in the past, to have dedicated Staff whose first concern is to every child they teach and care for, and a School Council whose members give every consideration to the need and welfare of the School, and also Parents and Friends whose interest in the school helps to provide many facilities in the school. The support of all these people has been greatly appreciated by me this year and I look forward to the years ahead with confidence that the traditions of high scholastic achievement and high moral standard will be maintained. Dulcie Brookshaw.

EDITORIAL, 1971 " When a man sees the Atman, the Self in him, God himself, the Lord of what was and what shall be, he fears no more." — from the Sanskrit of the Upanishad " The Supreme Teaching." The fledglings of our modern society are encouraged to free themselves, and, in doing so, to ease the pent-up tensions of a turbid, overcrowded nest. Sixth form students of English Expression in 1971, were advised to study books on " The Australian Identity ", and to form opinions on the value of our overseas image, however ill-defined. Both Australia and the young people to whom such pressure is directed are adolescents embodied in cocoons of self-doubt and apprehension, of baffled inner probing. Publications like Donald Horne's " The Lucky Country ", Robert Conway's " The Great Australian Stupor ", or J. D. Salinger's " The Catcher in the Rye ", treat such concerns weightily, and their effects are potent. The adolescent, after reading such material, begins to accumulate carefully all available evidence of his own identity, and each detail assumes a gross importance. The morbid fascination for overhearing conversations about oneself is, of course, part of the human makeup, but the consequence which young people attribute to critical reflection of their characters is wildly disproportional. It has been said that each person's God is a reflection of himself. So has self-identity become among the young of this society — they aim at the liberation of the " inner self ", destruction of the " superficial image " and, above all, attainment of that Holiest of Holy Grails, individuality. Australia places inordinate importance upon the reactions of other countries to her decisions. She has discarded maternal Britain, and, adolescent-like, has succumbed to the allure of Big-Spender U.S.A. America's every action is pored over by hirelings in Canberra, who sift all data before any subsequent reaction is made, seeking a role for Australia in world affairs. Such self-scrutiny has not caused Australia to mature any faster, but rather, she has merely prolonged the childishness of her teens: she will not be regarded as the " smallest continent " of this planet until her "largest island" image has been discarded. Similarly, the schoolchild who is engrossed in an investigation into her own position within the pecking-order of the community would be better to occupy herself with improving her

present status, whether or not it is clear-cut to her. Otherwise she could well find herself ensnared in one bitter extrapolation of her youth, like some larva trapped in an opaque, hermetic cocoon. The " inner self " cannot be bribed out, but must be allowed to trigger off its owh metamorphosis. " The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs use and run murmuring to the sea, And the treasure of your infinite depth would be revealed to your eyes. But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line. The Self is a seed, boundless and measureless." — " The Prophet " (Kahlil Gibran). Katrina J. Watson. 9

II To quote John Russell Lowell — " A merciful Providunce fashioned us holler 0' purpose that we might our principles swaller." and this seems to be the motto of the masses today, who find it expedient to leave their principles home with mother. It is so much easier, more convenient to ignore the conscience than to either acknowledge or deny it as an active influence in their lives. The most satisfactory compromise, of course, is to acknowledge its existence and deny its importance. It is most convenient having an argument that follows the line that " Providunce " made provision for human failings, so why should this foresight go to waste? However, a large part of the trouble over whether or not to do as conscience bids is due to fear of outside opinion, and not to a lack of it. This is especially true of young people in whose minds the importance of being accepted by their peers overrides any other situation which might arise. They are concerned primarily with establishing their own identity; the ends for them justifies the means, and as in all such cases, small sacrifices must be made. It is sad, though, that they are defeating their own ends by these very means, for in merging themselves with the crowd they become a multi-coloured product — a hybrid — of their environment, instead of a product tempered by it. This point could offer a reason for the mental and emotional instability of so many young people; they have prostituted their minds in order to curry favour and no longer have command of the helm — they are somewhere else swabbing the decks.

There is of course the pitiable situation of the weaker brethren who try valiantly to live virtuously but run into difficulties when confronted with temptation. They echo Paul's lament: " For the good which I would I do not, but the evil which I would not, that I practise." They strive and strain and finally remove the temptation by succumbing to it. With much tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth they undergo the bitter consequences, and find a fellow-sufferer in Richard III: " 0 coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me." But such people will never have the victory, because they have not the potential. Their consciences are unable to escape the bindings of their bodies, so that matter over mind is unfortunately their lot. Then there are those of the order of Polonius who exhort their sons thus: " This above all, — to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." These are the truly great like Sir Thomas More, Thomas a Becket, Joan of Arc, and all the martyrs down through history. They lived their conscience as a means for good, and at the end when they were taken to the mountain top, they saw their promised land in the distance. What many people today see from their pinnacle are " Deserts of vast Eternity "; they have buried their consciences in the sand where they can offer no future to look forward to and no security to fall back upon. Penelope Wilson.

SCHOOL. NOTES At the first Assembly on Thursday, 4th February, Mr. McCann, Mrs. Pavia and the Reverend Waters welcomed our new headmistress, Miss Dulcie Brookshaw. Several members of staff were also introduced to the school: Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. McGibbon, Mrs. McNaughton, Mrs. Watt and Mr. Hardy. The Junior School welcomed Miss Cure and Mrs. Stewart.

attended the funeral service at St. David's Church.

In term two we were pleased to meet Miss Parkin and Mrs. Smith (Junior School), but had to farewell Miss Odgers. During the third term Mrs. Brown, Mr. Elliot, Dr. Henderson and Mr. Robbins joined the teaching staff.

It was unfortunate that, during some of third term, Miss Brookshaw was required to convalesce in Melbourne after an operation. However Miss Sutherland acted as Principal during this time and resided at the school.

The school was very sorry to hear in October of the death of Mr. Henderson, who taught Physics to the sixth form girls. On Tuesday, 5th October, many staff members, the prefects and the senior Physics students

This year the School Council has financed the construction of a new volleyball court, and has drawn up the plans for an extension to the library facilities. I should like to thank the Council for providing Morongo with so many facilities.

Morongo girls are all extremely grateful to the members of staff — they are always " there " and ready to help. To those teachers who are leaving us at the end of 1971, I extend the best wishes of the school for happiness and success in the future. Ruth Sweetman.

COUNCIL NOTES Principal At its meeting in December 1970, the Council placed in its minute book, a special minute of appreciation of the long and faithful service, and outstanding leadership of Miss Lucy Shaw as Principal of Morongo. Miss Shaw has since completed an overseas trip with her sister, and apparently derived much pleasure from the experience. The Council was delighted to welcome the new Principal, Miss Dulcie Brookshaw, to the first meeting for the year, in February, and has been most gratified with the splendid start she has made and with the most cordial reception she has received from the whole school community.

submitted to the Commonwealth government, which will provide about half the cost. The Council decided to erect a building larger than the minimum area stipulated by the Government, to ensure that the pupils have adequate library resources for many years to come. Planning is beginning for a middle school laboratory, for which a Government grant has also been offered. Other improvements include a nursery room at the Junior School, completed at the beginning of the year, and extensive work on the far western oval to facilitate drainage and improvement of the surface.

Newsletter Council Having retired from his parish in North Geelong, the Reverend J. Arthur Lewis resigned from the Council, and the Presbytery of Geelong nominated the Rev. Arthur Richardson to take his place. Mr. Richardson has already made his presence felt in Council discussions, and by giving the address at the Annual School Church Service.

Fees and Enrolments Because of the continuing rise in costs, it was necessary to increase fees from the beginning of second term 1971. Morongo has been more fortunate than many other independent schools in provincial and country areas, which have suffered severe falls in enrolments, but the economic depression in rural industries has naturally had some effect on the numbers of boarders at the school. Any reduction in numbers aggravates the effect of cost increases, and so the Council is hopeful that parents, Old Collegians and friends will actively seek opportunities to attract girls to Morongo so that the buoyant enrolment of recent years may be maintained, and fee increases thus kept to a minimum.

In co-operation with the Parents' and Friends' Association, the Council arranged for the publication of a newsletter, to improve communications with the various segments of the school community. The first issues have been well received.

Miss Courtney Morongo has been served wonderfully well over the years by the members of its teaching staff, and many have given long and devoted service. The retirement of Miss G. V. Courtney at the end of the year brings to an end a period of twenty-five years as head of the Junior School. Miss Courtney's deep concern with the individual pupil's needs and development, her energy and drive in teaching and administration, and her success in instilling loyalty and discipline in her charges, have undoubtedly contributed greatly to the character and welfare of innumerable girls now fulfilling their destinies far and wide in the Commonwealth. If ever someone deserved the tribute, "Well done, good and faithful servant", Miss Courtney certainly does.

General

Buildings and Grounds Planning is well advanced for the new library, and the " house " tennis court has been chosen as the site — being centrally located, near the classroom block and easily accessible from the boarding houses. Plans have been

Once again, the Council places on record its appreciation of the fine work of the Principal and staff, the support of the Old Collegians' Association, and the constant help from the parents and friends — all of which have made possible another year in which Morongo may take pride in its achievements and be grateful for the happy and harmonious spirit which pervades the school.

A LETTER FROM MISS SHAW Dear Editors, I almost feel I am back at school with an essay to write on " How I spent my holidays ", but in these enlightened days teachers of English have a very different approach. You asked me to write " an account of the highlights of my trip " but were too polite to say " a short account ", but as I know how valuable space can be, I shall try to keep it as short as I can, dut do not hesitate to get your blue pencil to work, if I exceed available space. It is, in fact, not easy to select highlights because for me it was a journey to well loved places and I could write volumes on fascinating London, on lovely Devon and Cornwall, on Kent with its history or on the beautiful Lake District and well beloved Scotland and turbulent Ireland, all of which I had previously visited, and wished to see again. I shall therefore take you with me on those tours which carried my sister and me to fresh fields for the most part. One of these commenced from London by coach to Asford Airport in Kent where we travelled by plane to Beauvis for our coach drive through French and Swiss countryside and also parts of Italy. We were in fact border hopping and at each border town were required to produce our passports. One keen photographer tried to take a picture of one of the guards but was sternly repulsed with the words, " No! — Military!" In one Italian town I gave my order in my best Fench to be told, " Oh, you wanto da milk?" In at least one hotel all the bathrooms were locked and we had to be content with basins in the rooms and one small towel no bigger than our guest towels. We wandered through beautiful country in France and Switzerland staying overnight in interesting towns. I was delighted to re-visit Interlaken, before going on to Lucerne. We spent an interesting evening there listening to Swiss entertainers and among other items hearing the great Alpenhorn used to call the cattle in the mountains. The colourful pavement cafes throughout Europe are most attractive and we felt quite dashing sitting under the bright umbrellas in places like Lugarno and beautiful Montreux. Our room at Montreux led out on to a balcony overlooking the lake and we wished we could spend weeks there, but on we went via the old world Autun where at our hotel the room occupied by Napoleon and Josephine was shown with pride. When we finally arrived in Paris our whole party of 45 was refused admittance to the hotel at which we were firmly booked. There was a large exhibition in Paris so possibly the hotel found it more lucrative to accept other visitors. I was glad I did not have the responsibility of finding accommodation. That was left to the Courier, so we toured Paris for three hours before rooms were found for us all. We had intended to stay longer in 12

Paris but took the opportunity to fly over to Amsterdam, where we were met by Nora Sutorious (Valk) who gave us a wonderful few days. I saw much more of Holland than on my previous trip. It was good to renew acquaintance with her Father when Nora drove us to his home at The Hague. From Amsterdam we set off for Rome where I was due at a Soroptimist Conference but we went by way of Milan, Genoa and Florence. My sister had wrenched her knee rather badly stepping down from one of the high French coaches, so we decided to consult a doctor at Milan. Our introduction to Italian Currency came from this doctor who asked a fee of 12,000 lire. This was followed by an account for 27,000 lire at the Orthopaedic centre. However, translated into Australian currency this meant only about 50 dollars, which does not sound quite so alarming. Space does not allow me to dwell on all the wonders of Florence and Rome but I hope that many of you may be able to enjoy these some day. I trust however that you will not experience as we did, a hotel strike throughout Italy. This meant we had to carry our own luggage, (I confess to a feeling of guilt as I simply dragged our cases along wonderful marble floors) and go out to search for meals, for apart from supplying a meagre breakfast, the hotels would not provide food. In retrospect this is funny but at the time was irritating. I may say I was relieved to get out of Rome safe in wind and limb, because the traffic has to be seen to be believed. After a short time in London once again, we decided that a 15 day Rhine cruise on the Lady Anne would be a rest after rushing round Europe. This was a grand fortnight. I had not realized that there were so many locks on the Rhine. It was a strange feeling to find the Lady Anne being lifted or dropped to higher or lower levels. But how hot it was, both day and night — while you no doubt shivered as you raced to the Dining Hall. Each afternoon we berthed at a Swiss or German city and could then walk about or take a coach trip to neighbouring places of interest. The building and development over the past ten years are quite staggering, prompting one of the passengers to ask, "Just, who had won the last war?" I was particularly interested in a pamphlet on Geelong and Homes of the District shown to me on the yacht by an Englishman who on a recent visit to relatives in Geelong had gone to Lake Goldsmith to see the Exhibition of Engines and had met the Kirkpatrick family. We left Rotterdam for London to spend our last few weeks there and with reluctance we packed up for the last time in England. However, it was time to set off by a Luxury Jet for New York. There had been a terrific storm over there and much turbulence, and before we could land at the John Kennedy Airport we circled for more than an hour. Every so often the Captain would announce — " We are in the hole (whatever that means) and

we should land in five minutes or so," and we would go for quite thirty minutes to hear what I suppose was the reassuring news that " We are now in radar contact and should be able to approach the City from the South." As one woman confessed she found it rather " scary " — but it certainly was a relief to land in New York at long last. After a fairly short stay in the U.S.A. we set off on the last leg of our world tour. You may be interested to hear that while we were at Los Angeles we visited the Hollywood Bowl and Disneyland. I would advise any of you contemplating a visit to Disneyland to save hard — you will need all your cents and more. On the way to New Zealand we called in at Honolulu, my second visit there. It may be trippery but it is certainly fun.

Throughout our whole overseas wanderings we had not once been required to open our cases for Customs inspection, but in Auckland we had to open up everything and show our shoes, not for contraband, I may say, but to ensure that as we had been in Europe we were not bringing in the dreaded foot and mouth disease. All was well and a two weeks tour of both North and South Islands of New Zealand ended our six wonderful months. Though we enjoyed every minute it was good to arrive at Tullamarine to receive a heart warming welcome from the same Morongo friends who had farewelled us six months previously. Yours affectionately, Lucy Shaw.

PARENTS' AND FRIENDS' ASSOCIATION

PARENTS' AND FRIENDS' AFTERNOON AUXILIARY

The Parents' and Friends' Association commenced 1971 with 81 members present at the Annual Meeting on 31st March and the following were elected to office: President: Dr. D. Taylor. Vice-Presidents: Mr. H. Unsworth, Mr. G. Matheson. Treasurer: Mr. J. A. Clutterbuck. Secretary: Mrs. A. Huffam. Committee: Mr. V. Cohen, Mr. I. Hocking, Mrs. R. Hallowes. Publication: Mr. R. Connell. At this meeting the draft of the new constitution was presented and passed. The President also gave a full report on the activities of the Association during the past year. The Fete returned a profit of approximately $1,450.00 for the combined auxiliaries and the Old Collegians, and a separate account has been established and will be administered by representatives from these bodies. A sub-committee investigated various proposals for the expenditure of the Garden Party Fund and finally recommended that the money be expended on helping the new library with audio visual and electronic equipment to the sum of $5,000.00. Appreciation was expressed to the School Council for agreeing to present a report at each meeting and these proved most informative. The Association ran a berbecue for sports day and the profit was $60.78. Meetings were held once each term and attendances have been very good. In March we welcomed Miss Brookshaw as Guest Speaker and she gave an interesting talk on the examination system and changes in the assessment of student ability. At the June meeting Dr. Mackey and Mrs. Marles spoke on, " The problems of living with a teenager ", and in October Dr. Bethune, Consultant Psychiatrist at the Alexandra Parade Clinic talked on the subject — " Drug taking — its abuse and risk of addiction ". A. Huffam, Hon. Secretary.

Annual Report covering the activities of the Afternoon Auxiliary of the " Morongo " Parents' and Friends' Association for 1971. Attendances at meetings have been maintained and members have had the opportunity to hear some very interesting speakers. The first meeting of the year took the form of a Morning Coffee Party in the school canteen and our President, Mrs. Fred Herd, was delighted to welcome approximately 10- members and also to have Miss D. Brookshaw as our guest. During March we joined with the Junior Auxiliary and held our meeting in the Gertrude Pratt Hall and on that occasion Miss Brookshaw gave a most interesting and informative talk on her experiences in the field of education before coming to Morongo. Members assisted as stall-holders at the Garden Party on 13th March and helped with the Barbecue on Sports Day. Staff members who gave of their time to act as guest speakers during the year were Miss Wilson, Miss Philip and Miss Sutherland. Each of these teachers spoke to us on her particular subject and their talks were very much enjoyed and appreciated by the members. The Picture Morning at the Geelong Theatre on 28th July was both a social and financial success and the Fourth Form Social on 18th September proved to be an outstanding social function. Committee members have always been most willing to assist in various ways when called upon and our special thanks go to Mrs. Fred Herd who has presided so efficiently at our meetings and guided the Association through another successful year. Office-Bearers for the coming year: President: Mrs. F. Herd; Vice-President: Mrs. J. Gray-Thompson; Secretary: Mrs. R. Chirnside; Treasurer: Mrs. E. Sutherland; Committee: Mesdames Plumridge, MacMillan, Jamieson, Orr, Matheson, Snellen and C. Cooke. V. Chirnside, Hon. Secretary. 13

ANNUAL REPORT OF MORONGO JUNIOR AUXILIARY, 1971 It is with much pleasure I present the Annual Report of the Morongo Junior Auxiliary for 1971. The band of mothers who come to our meetings have had .a very busy year, the highlight being our gift of play equipment to the Junior School, and the happiness with which the pupils are using it. At our November meeting in 1970 members had the opportunity to farewell Miss Shaw and show their affection and good wishes when we made our presentation. Junior school mothers were sad to farewell Mrs. Walters and Miss Miller who had a long association on the Staff. Tokens of our appreciation were presented by the President on the last day of school. In February, the President and Secretary were grateful to Mrs. E. McCann who invited us to her home to meet Miss Brookshaw. It was a happy occasion enjoyed by the officebearers of the various Morongo organisations. The Annual Social Evening was again held at the G.A.M.A. Theatre on 2nd March. After the performance of " Gigi " the mothers enjoyed the opportunity to meet Miss Brookshaw and the Junior School Staff at supper. The February meeting, a social morning, was held at the C.A.A. rooms, and it was suggested at this meeting we hold future meetings at Morongo. This suggestion was most happily agreed upon. The March meeting was held at the Hall. We were guests of the Afternoon Auxiliary to hear Miss Brookshaw speak and the attendance of Junior School mothers was very pleasing. We have invited the Afternoon Auxiliary as our guests in November. Mrs. O'Loughlin, the children's librarian from the Regional Library addressed the mothers at the April meeting in the Canteen.

OBITUARY Mr. T. HENDERSON The school was deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death of Mr. Thomas Henderson, aged 72, at his home in early October. Mr. Henderson's long association with Morongo and The Geelong College had endeared him to many members of staff, and had left its mark upon countless students. As a teacher of Physics in the senior forms, Mr. Henderson was firm and exacting, and yet there was never any compulsion placed upon his pupils. He always liked to promote a comprehension of basic principals rather than a superficial knowledge of methods for solving problems. Many fundamentals are now strongly impressed upon students' minds from the apt, and often light-hearted, analogies made during Physics lessons. Mr. Henderson's family has been connected with Morongo for over forty years; to his widow, and to Miss Margaret Henderson and her brother, we extend our sincere sympathy. 14

Our June meeting was exciting and filled with discussion. It was from this meeting the motion to donate $600 for play equipment was passed unanimously. The combined Film morning was again held in July and we thank the mothers who supported this function. A novel meeting was held in August, when the mothers spent the afternoon happily mending books and covering new ones donated by the Auxiliary. Miss Westman entertained us at the September meeting with an informative talk about her experiences teaching in the Northern Territory. The meetings held at the Junior School dining room have proved most successful. It brings the mothers in closer contact with the school, and the children look forward to going home with mother. We thank Mrs. Kershaw for allowing us to use the dining room and also Mrs. Hussey who organises the refreshments. During 3rd term, Miss Courtney is absent from the School on sick leave. All mothers wish her a speedy return to good health. Mrs. Kershaw has capably taken charge and, with Miss Westman, Mrs. Stewart and Miss Cure, has given the children a happy, busy year. Mrs. Smith has looked after our smallest ones and on behalf of the mothers we thank the Staff for their encouragement and help given to our children. Thanks go also to the members and committee who have worked willingly and hard throughout the year. I have enjoyed my term as Secretary and my thanks go to Mrs. MacLean, the President, for her help to me and to the Treasurer, Mrs. Cocks, and to them, and the Auxiliary I send my best wishes for a successful 1972. Joan Morwood, Hon. Secretary.

HEAD PREFECT'S REPORT

HEAD PREFECT Ruth Sweetman.

At the Assembly on Thursday, 18th February, the Reverend R. Waters inducted the Prefects for 1971. They were Ruth Sweetman (Head Prefect), Jacqueline Beckmann, Jocelyn Brown (Head of the Boarding House), Darolyn Clarke, Barbara Corstorphan, Margaret Crossman, Merrilyn Julian, Nanette Smibert and Katrina Watson. The Deputy Prefects were Janet Coutts, Jane Fenwick, Fiona Heard, Susan Henshaw, Heather Muir, Kay Murdoch, Deborah Richards, Rhonda Turner (until June), Jan Waters and Julie Williamson. Here, I should like to thank all the sixthform girls, especially my fellow Prefects, for their unfailing support throughout the year. We have all encountered difficulties, but I am sure that they will agree with me when I say that 1971 has been a most rewarding year. On Sunday, 7th March, the Morongo Prefects hostessed a meeting, at which representatives from The Hermitage, Clyde, The Geelong College and the Geelong Grammar School discussed various aspects of school life. From this meeting there eventuated six debates between the four Geelong schools, a fourschools' Library Night and a very successful five-schools' Social Sports Day at The Geelong College. On Friday, 19th March, a special service was held at St. David's Church for the installation of Miss Brookshaw as Headmistress of Morongo. Afterwards the Prefects and Deputy Prefects helped to serve supper provided by the Old Collegians. The Annual School 16

Church Service, conducted by the Reverend Waters, was held, as usual, at St. David's on Sunday, 24th October, at 7 p.m. On Saturday, 13th March, the Annual Garden Party attracted many visitors to Morongo. The weather was perfect for the barbecue lunch provided and the girls were able to wear non-uniform clothes. The sweets stall organized by the girls proved very popular and raised $201.30. Two popular innovations in the school have been a Casual Dress Day for the social service fund, and the mid-term break on 1st November. The design of our own Morongo tartan kilt has been enthusiastically received by all, especially the Senior girls, and their only complaint is that they will not have the chance to wear them! On behalf of all the girls, especially the Prefects, I want to thank Miss Brookshaw for her constant patronage of all school affairs in 1971. She has not had an easy task in running a school of students whose, faces must have seemed very strange at first. We have greatly appreciated her success in attempting to get to know us individually, and hope that her first year at Morongo has been a very happy and memorable one. I wish every one of next year's sixth form a happy and successful year. Among you is my successor, and I hope that 1972 will be as rewarding for her as 1971 has been for me. To all girls, whether leaving school or returning, I wish the best of luck in everything you do and thank you all for a very happy year in office. Ruth Sweetman.

ART REPORT Art, 1971-style, has certainly livened up the Art rooms. Mrs. Pateman and Miss Philip have fostered this movement by introducing many new and exciting ideas in both subjectmatter and techniques used. The Junior forms have experimented with an assortment of methods, including paper sculpture, lino prints (Snoopy was a popular choice!) and ' stained-glass windows '. Outof-lesson Art projects resulted in puppets illustrating Bible stories studied in Scripture lessons, and some bold stage sets for several plays organized by the English staff. Middle school girls have found themselves executing fabric stencils, wax-block prints, wire sculpture and portraits of their classmates — some not really very flattering!

Diane Macleod, H.S.C.

To obtain the Leaving or Higher School Certificate, Art students must prepare a satisfactory folio; media used were oils, batik, engraved copper plates, scraper-board, clay, creastone and talc-stone. A number of excursions during the year has enhanced Art lessons for many pupils: visits to the National Gallery and attendance at lectures relevant to the syllabus were frequent. An exhibition of the work of Albrecht Durer was held at Morongo in the second term, and it attracted many students from other Geelong schools. Our thanks are extended to Mrs. Fileborn and Miss Philip, who arranged the exhibition. New additions to the school's works of Art have been eagerly received by girls belonging to formerly dull classrooms. We are all grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Davidson for their generous gift of fine prints; to the Old Collegians' Association which provided new equipment and slides for the History of Art room; and to Miss Philip who has also shown many slides during the year.

Janet Byrnes, H.S.C.

Expressions of appreciation often fall on deaf ears, but I would like to compliment Mrs. Pateman and Miss Philip on their success in maintaining the quality of Art in the school. We often see one or other working late in the Art rooms, and they laboured hard to create impressive scenery for several of Morongo's dramatic productions. Their ardent enthusiasm has inspired us all. Diane Macleod. Judith Tantau, H.S.C.

SCHOOL DEBATING TEAM L. to R.: J. Waters, S. Lyle, D. Richards, J. Brumfield, S. Henton (President), K. Watson, N. Smibert, J. Beckmann.

THE DEBATING REPORT Topic: " It is the opinion of the house that the Morongo debating teams are worthy of mention in the Lucetnian '." 1st Affirmative — " It is painfully obvious to my colleagues and I that we are in every way superior to our opposition. The first debate of the year, held in the Morongo canteen, saw a confrontation with The Hermitage. The topic, " It is the opinion of the house that the house is suitable to be photographed ", may sound difficult, but with the ease of professionals, Morongo produced bananas — an entirely unsuitable thing to do — and made it blatantly clear to the house that we were unsuitable to be photographed. Our victory at this debate completely and concisely supports our argument that Morongo debating deserves mention in the " Lucernian "." 1st Negative — " How can I deny it?" 2nd Affirmative — " If not for our victory, then for our good sportsmanship and outstanding modesty, should we be remembered in the " Lucernian ". When the Morongo team met Geelong College at The Hermitage on June 4th, and was most sadly defeated, she retained the courage to meet her opposition at a delicious supper held afterwards. Being negative, and the topic being that " The fair sex is unfair ", the outcome of the debate 18

was that the fair sex IS fair. It is for this reason, that our team should be hailed as fair — even by the opposition — that we feel and know such goodness is worthy of recognition in our school magazine." 2nd Negative — " A faire/ fair/ fare argument. We salute you!" 3rd Affirmative — " Finally, I direct your attention to the Geelong Grammar debate of July 16th. Once again our illustrious team rose to fame, this time by disproving that " This house will see the end of civilization as we know it today ". The most outstanding members of the Society who have taken part in inter-school debates include Katrina Watson, Jan Waters, Jane Brumfield, Deborah Richards, Nan Smibert, Jackie Beckmann, Susan Lyle and myself. I modestly offer you the final results: Geelong College — 420 points. Morongo — 411 points. Geelong Grammar — 388 points. Hermitage — 365 points. How can anyone now doubt our genius? And accepting us as the intellectual giants of Morongo, how can we possibly be refused mention in the Lucernian '?" 3rd Negative — " The three members of the Affirmative have spoken nothing but the truth. I can offer no rebuttal." Sheena Henton.

DRAMA REPORT Greater emphasis has been placed on Drama this year at Morongo and the growing enthusiasm is encouraging. This has been shown not only by the introduction of a school play, but also in the classwork of some of the junior forms. Guided by Mrs. Cooke, the girls of Removes 2 and 3, 2x and 2y, and P5 and P6 under Mrs. Egan and Miss Murray, practised for weeks a number of one-act plays which they wrote themselves and then presented to each other. Many girls from Morongo have attended a number of theatrical performances both in Melbourne and Geelong, among them a fascinating History of Drama by the Players' Caravan Theatre. Towards the end of third term, boarders from forms 1 and 2 presented a three-act play " The Water Babies " by Charles Kingsley.

These budding actresses were guided by six fifth-form students: Claire Bourke, Jenny Coad, Anne Chirnside, Sue Dale, Jo Gilbert and Mary-Lou Randell, and thanks are due to all those whose back-stage service was invaluable. The play was staged to an appreciative audience of boarders and funds raised were donated to Pakistani Relief. Following the decision last year to have a full-length school play, we reverted to the traditional format of Shakespeare Day. On 23rd April, girls from the H.S.C. Literature class acted three scenes from " King Lear ", and the Fifth Form presented a colourful adaption of " As You Like It ". The response to both plays was enthusiastic, and Mrs. Thompson, Miss Forster and Mrs. Deller are to be congratulated.

We were pleased to hear that Mrs. Deller will be teaching Drama full-time at Morongo next year; the enthusiasm with which she tackled the School Play, " The Chalk Garden ", by Enid Bagnold, was an inspiration to all involved with it. Being the first School Play, our theatrical equipment was sadly lacking. Fortunately, however, Mrs. Deller was able

to obtain a number of stage flats from Melbourne, and Miss Philip, Mrs. Pateman, and some senior art students created a most effective drawing-room setting from these. We were most grateful to Mr. Fred Haste and Mr. Frank Loxley from the Geelong Repertory Society for taking the male roles in the play.

The girls taking part in this production were: Little Lady. Jenny Marles Third Applicant. Davina Harper Nurse. Madeline Tucker Laurel. Penelope Wilson Olivia. Shirley In't Veld Mrs. St. Maugham. Merrilyn Julian Miss Madrigal. Debbie Richards Our sincere thanks go to Mrs. Deller, Miss Forster, Mrs. Mackinnon, and to all other members of staff and girls who worked behind the scenes, especially Jane Fenwick, our Stage Manager. The play was a great success, and was enjoyed immensely by all who attended. It raised nearly $250, which has been credited

to the Morongo Drama Bank Account, and will form the foundation for future school productions. We were proud to be involved in this first play, and we hope that future Drama will gain an even greater support from all members of the school. Merrilyn Julian, Deborah Richards.

DRESSMAKING AND CRAFT REPORT This year the third, fourth and fifth form dressmaking students made a varied range of garments, such as, lingerie, suits, coats and frocks. Also girls made a number of embroidery articles and had to complete a range of samples, assignments and descriptions of articles made throughout the year for their files. As well extra dressmaking classes are conducted after school by Mrs. Cayzer for the students who cannot participate in lessons during school time. The fifth form course has been altered as students do not have to make an examination garment. The mannequin parade conducted on Hobbies Day was cancelled, but the garments were on display. The fourth form dressmaking students attended a mannequin parade and display at the Gordon Institute of Technology during third term. We should like to thank all the staff who have helped us in our craft and dressmaking this year. Jonda Renfrey.

FORUM REPORT During the meetings, Miss Brookshaw presided while Miss Sutherland was present. Miss Sutherland presided while Miss Brookshaw was absent. When neither was present, there was no one presiding. — We offer our sincere thanks for all the above. The first item on the agenda was the introduction of those attending Forum, the prefects, House and Sports Captains, and form captains from forms four, five and six. General discussions of school events including the School

Garden Party, the Swimming and Athletic Sports, the School Dance, and casual dress day were held. The general appearance of the girls was often discussed, and it was repeatedly agreed that many improvements must be made. In a later meeting, various suggestions involving erecting a new score board, adding some variety to the canteen stock, and replacing the missing school sign, were approved by Miss Brookshaw. It is pleasing and encouraging to see communication between staff and student, and we hope that in the future greater improvements may be made, and that more students will express their opinions within the school. Barbara Corstorphan. 21

FOLK REPORT Morongo's Folk activities began harmoniously when the boarders again rallied to present two concerts on Fete Day. It was decided that " Folk '71 " would have a gypsyish theme, and, due to much noisy practice, the concerts were a success, raising over fifty dollars for the school fund. After first term little demand was made on those interested in folk guitar, until the School House and Boarding House music competitions, when many groups performed. Throughout the year Jackie Beckmann, Anne Chirnside, Sue Dale and Margaret Crossman represented Morongo vocally at various functions, including the Geelong Rotary Club's Annual Dinner and the Geelong P.F.A. Concert. Anne and Sue, together with Mary-Louise Randell and Katrina Watson, also boosted the volume of singing at a French Evening for Schools in third term. Folk music, as an essentially communal interest, is gathering impetus within the school, perhaps because it is easy to acquit oneself ably after only a few casual guitar lessons. I hope this popularity is retained, and that

next year the sweet sounds from Bell Post Hill will be even louder. Margaret Crossman.

FRENCH REPORT To those whose goal is mastery of the French language, the task seems almost as impossible as Jason's, and though the end may not yet be in sight, the journey has been an eventful one. Our first extra-curricular activity for the year was a screening of the film " La Symphonie Pastorale " at Geelong College, arranged with the Alliance Francaise by Miss Botterill for the H.S.C. students of Geelong studying the novel. We were relieved to be able to understand, at least generally, a very interesting address given by M. Carbonatto on the book. Actors from the Alliance also performed two Ionesco plays on 16th July, which the H.S.C. class enjoyed very much. The annual Alliance examinations were again held at The Hermitage, on 7th August, involving French students from sub-intermediate upwards. We all appreciate how much extra work this involved for Miss Botterill, and Mrs. McGibbon. Morongo won the following distinctions: Sub-Intermediate Poetry: Commended: Jane Adcock, Heather Taylor. Intermediate Poetry: 1st Prize: Ingrid in't Veld. Commended: Prudence Menzies, Bronwyn MacKinnon. Leaving Dictation: Commended: Christine Park, Mary-Louise Randall, Elizabeth Hawker. Leaving Poetry: Commended: Louise Watson, 22

Leaving Reading and Conversation: Equal 1st: Shirley in't Veld. Commended: Mary-Louise Randall. H.S.C. Dictation: Commended: Rhonda Koschade, Katrina Watson, Penelope Wilson. H.S.C. Aural Comprehension: 1st prize: Katrina Watson. Commended: Rhonda Koschade, Karen MacGregor. H.S.C. Reading and Conversation: 1st prize: Rhonda Koschade. Commended: Katrina Watson. From August 25th - 27th, during second term vacation, most of H.S.C. French class migrated to Melbourne to attend a camp. We resided at La Trobe University and each day attended a programme at Monash which included lectures on grammar, dictation, poetry, translation and set tests, some laboratory and conversation sessions, and a rather extraordinary film. All of us felt we gained a great deal from the camp and certainly recommend it. Soon after returning in third term, Leaving and H.S.C. girls participated in a French Night at College, arranged by Mr. Humphries whom we thank for a profitable and enjoyable evening. Katrina Watson underwent a mock aural exam in which she did us credit, and a group of Morongo girls accompanied the singing, giving it a very necessary boost. Obviously these activities have kept our teachers even busier than we have been and we thank them for their tireless interest, and hope that we will be able to reward them sufficiently. Rhonda Koschade.

LIBRARY REPORT

MATHEMATICS CAMPS

Books are often the most frequently used equipment of the school — for every subject on the curriculum there is a large collection of reference books in our library. The Careers section has provided the seniors with relevant information concerning vocations, qualifications and opportunities of a wide range. The Fiction section is also of great importance to the school as it provides an alternative form of relaxation for those who tire of sport and television. It also introduces the classics as well as famous and contemporary prose, although this section does need further expansion. This year the library has been used to its fullest capacity. Each period the senior library has been occupied, sometimes crowded, and the junior library is becoming too small for the large classes it holds during the week. We were therefore pleased to hear that Morongo will shortly have a new library with equipment including books, magazines, records, tapes and cassettes. This will increase the already significant role of the library in school life. On behalf of the girls of the school, I would like to thank the Council which has been generous in its grant to the library this year. There have been many new books which teachers and others have kindly donated, and I would also like to thank Mr. S. Bickford who gave us a very valuable Latin dictionary. I thank Mrs. Clarke and the library committee for their help and support throughout the year, and I wish next year's librarian as enjoyable a year in office as I have had. Susan Henshaw.

" You're not going to spend your holidays doing Maths!" This was the kind of remark Jacqueline Conner and Margaret McLean heard repeatedly when they were selected to attend Mathematics Camps held in January this year. Jacqueline joined the Harrietville mathematics camps where the lectures ranged from complex numbers, mathematical induction and computers, to mathematics in the bush. Dr. Thompson from Melbourne University gave a special lecture one night entitled " On Doing the Arithmetic ". Recreational activities, included swimming, table tennis, volleyball and a hike over Mt. Hotham. The camp was attended by about 80 students who had just completed Leaving, selection to the camp being made by .examination and teacher assessment. Margaret and 15 other students from Victoria attended the National Mathematics Summer School in Canberra. 60 students from throughout Australia were present, being chosen by selection committees in the various states. There was a variety of lectures, and a most interesting course in computer work was included. The students lived a University type of life and while the focus was naturally on Mathematics, during recreation periods tours around Canberra and a weekend spent in the Snowy Mountains were also greatly appreciated. The girls both enjoyed the informal atmosphere at the Camps and declared it was indeed a worthwhile way to spend part of their summer holidays. 23

P.F.A. NOTES

SCHOOL MUSIC CAPTAIN Alison Kirkpatrick.

This society has played an integral part in the relaxation of the boarders this year. " Fellowship " is the key word in the title of the association, and I think this concept is vital to all its members. The Morongo P.F.A. has combined with that of The Geelong College to arrange many stimulating meetings — a badge dedication ceremony, evenings attended by guest speakers, and also a very well-received dance. Out on Bell Post Hill the P.F.A. members have heard many controversial talks. Such activities, although they may not attain the importance of some other school functions, play a definite role in maintaining the proverbial " friendly atmosphere " of the boarding house. Of course efficiency is essential for high results, and for this we are indebted to Miss Wilson. I thank her and all those who have helped most sincerely. " Good luck " does not really apply to the P.F.A., as the road to success is built only upon the stepping-stones of each member's enthusiasm. Jocelyn Brown.

MUSIC REPORT Morongo's activity in musical affairs has been very stimulating this year. A considerable number of concerts have been attended by some girls. These included the usual Celebrity Concerts, a production of "Iolanthe", performances by the Korean Children's Choir and the " Syntagma Musicum ", and finally the staging of " Oliver " at the Geelong Grammar School. The most exciting event of the musical calendar was the production of Faure's " Requiem ", in conjunction with The Geelong College. The performances, conducted by Mr. D. W. Martin, were praised highly by both the press and friends of the school. The Senior Choir also enhanced the singing at several other functions: notably the School Concert, the Annual Church Service and the Four Schools' Concert. It is pleasing to see many budding chamber groups within the school — they have often performed at our Wednesday Assemblies. We have heard the well-established Recorder Group, the Woodwind Ensemble and the richvoiced School Madrigal Group. Other forms of music, such as Folk, Instrumental recitals and Tone Poems, have been eagerly received by the girls. As always, Music examinations have reared their unwelcome heads in October. Subjects taken by our students included Piano, Guitar, Flute, Clarinet, Violin, Theory of Music and Singing. Morongo's efforts music-wise have maintained a high standard this year, and it is generally recognised that Miss Habersberger has been responsible for this. In thanking her, we wish her health and happiness in the future. Alison Kirkpatrick. 24

THE SCHOOL DANCE, 1971 As in previous years, our Senior Dance, held on Saturday, 29th May, was programmed which proved a most effective method of mixing. The hall was decked with bright yellow and black streamers, and black balloons; however it was the black rubber spiders and the life-size, yellow skeletons which " made " the decorations. Needless to say, many of the spiders and skeletons were later seen in various studies around Geelong. Jane Fenwick and her ' decorations ' committee (Vaille Anscombe, Jenny Bartlett and Kristin Cook) are to be commended on their unusual, but successful, choice of theme. The official party included Miss Brookshaw, Mr. and Mrs. Thwaites, Mr. and Mrs. Hanley, Miss Sutherland, Mr. and Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Sweetman, Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Miss Rentoul. Understandably, the highlight of the

evening was the arrival of our guests from the Geelong Grammar School and The Geelong College, and we were also pleased to receive eleven Hermitage prefects as our guests. Miss Rentoul's guidance and organisation of the kitchen and ground staff was invaluable and I sincerely thank her for all her hard work. I would also like to thank those fourthform boarders whose " waitressing " and efficient help before and during the dance was much appreciated by the senior girls, and those boarders who cleaned up all the mess the next morning and restored everything to normal. As well as all the willing girls who helped to organise the dance, I feel that it is as much the hostesses' duty to ensure that everything runs smoothly, so I should like to thank the fifth and sixth form girls for a successful evening. Ruth Sweetman.

SOCIAL SERVICE REPORT From 1971's efforts, it would appear that girls generally do not appreciate the needs of others, and, but for constant reminders and " gimmicky " methods of fund-raising, the Social Service Fund would be much smaller. The totals for the Third Term are not yet complete, but the First and Second Term totals are indicative of what may be expected, although fewer fetes and concentrated fundraising efforts are usually held at this time of year. The totals were as follows: First Term form collections Second Term form collections

$63.90 $56.24

The fetes this year have been: Remove I Remove II Remove III Form 2X Form 2Y Form 2Z Form 3L Form 3X Form 3Y Form 4L Form 4X Form 4Y Leaving A Leaving P Leaving G H.S.C. I H.S.C. II

$35.79 50.00 45.00 32.00 29.45 30.62 38.68 19.00 31.59 45.00 86.64 24.54 22.18 26.62 12.04 18.74 31.07

Other fund-raising schemes have included: the Pakistani Relief Appeal, which, with help

from the Staff, raised $250.00; the Casual Day, a very successful innovation which raised $104.30; and two massive efforts by the girls of P5 and P6, who are to be congratulated, for, in First Term, P6 conducted a " Spellathon " and raised $141.00, and P5 held a " Mathat hon " resulting in $111.00. At a Junior School assembly in term two, Ruth Sweetman and I were presented with $9.47, made up to $11.47 with an additional gift of $2.00 in October. When the enthusiasm of the younger children is matched against that of the older girls it is amazing to see how apathetic some of the upper forms are. This year we have given aid to various charities and funds, including: Pakstani Relief ($280.00); Guide Dogs for the Blind ($200.00); Community Chest ($150.00); Austcare ($40.00); British and Foreign Bible Society ($15.00); Geelong Welfare for Deaf Children ($15.00); Dr. Barnardo's Homes ($15.00); Council for Christian Education in Schools ($15.00); Red Cross ($50.00); Rossbourne House ($40.00); Foster Parents' Association ($29.00); Freedom from Hunger ($50.00); Save the Children Fund Rice Bowl Appeal ($50.00). The Third Term appeal for good used clothing received enthusiastic support from the Junior School girls, who presented Julie McGibbon and me with three large boxes of clothes. At the end of term 3, Leaving G decided to raise money for the Pakistani refugees. They chose to eat a subsistence meal and received donations totalling $40. Our sincere thanks go to Miss Evans and Miss Steere, for organizing dates of fetes, and for sending out cheques in response to the many incoming letters asking for monetary help. Jan Waters. 25

EXCURSIONS FORM 4 GEOGRAPHY EXCURSION We waited expectantly under the trees at school at some unearthly hour of the morning. The buses eventually arrived, and waves of screaming girls surged forward to bag seats. A handful of loving mothers waved tearful goodbyes as, with a sudden lurch and cheer, we swung out. The party consisted of three teachers (Mrs. McNeil, Mrs. Watt and Miss Odgers); Mrs. Wergel; and Tiger and Brien, two of the most good natured bus drivers on the road. Oh yes! I nearly forgot — eighty-eight girls. The first stop was Healesville, and we experienced something which was to become very familiar within the next four days — queues of girls extending from the door of the " Ladies " through the street. Here there were only four toilets — Jerilderie had one! At Snobb's Creek we lunched at the gates of the Eildon Weir, then proceeded to Myrtelf ord, our first night stop. The meal got underway with the help of a torch to see if the chops were cooked while tents popped up around us. Many rude remarks were made about the potatoes. With the tune of Mrs. Wergel's " Greensleeves " ringing in our ears, we showered and crawled into our tents. It is not quite known what went on inside each tent — but one could guess that there was very little sleep. In the morning we all spilled out into the fresh air when our tents were opened to the booming of wooden spoons on tin plates and the " WAKE UP " orders of You-Know-Who. By now we were beginning to know the bus drivers and all spent a raucous morning rocking and swaying along the highway. " Notice how the farmers combat erosion — take not of the tobacco kilns on the right — cattle graze on the highlands in summer . . . " By now our enthusiasm to take notes was lost, and we were catching up on sleep. Warnings that we would be woken if we tried this were ignored, as it was virtually impossible to move anywhere on the bus without having to plough through cans, empty packets of chips, rugs, bags, jumpers and squashed biscuits. The tune of " Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine . . . " began to compete with the already deafening noise. We crossed into New South Wales then came back into Victoria to the Rutherglen winery where we furiously copied down notes before continuing. From this point, we turned back towards New South Wales. " Have you seen my clipboard?" " Nope, is it under the seat?" " What did he say about the separator thing at the winery?" 26

" The what?" And so we rolled onwards through Deniliquin and to "Banooke " merino stud where we were to spend the next two nights. Something was wrong though, as it became dark and we still had not found " Banooke ". " Is it Banooke this time?" " How long till we get there?" " I'm hungry." " We're turning round again! Must have taken the wrong turn." Some time later the buses hissed to a stop once more and headlights were shone on a gate. It read in large, black letters "Banooke!" It seemed as though the shearers' quarters were miles from the home, but we eventually arrived. A stream of girls surged out of the buses and ran thankfully to the — conveniences? — a row of four toilets (or was it three?) whose doors would not shut for the weeds, and surrounded by galvanised iron. One was out of order. Early next morning, everyone was up and running about, but alas! All was not well. Bodies could be seen stranded half way between their rooms and the showers. " My shoes! QUICK! Someone get me my shoes!" " Four cornered Jacks!" We did not have to pack everything up that day as we were to return at night after travelling in a rough triangle from Jerilderie to Narranderah, Leeton, Griffith, and back to Jerilderie. Every town we passed through or stopped in, we seemed to attract some kind of attention. We posed for local newspapers, and spent a majority of our time queuing in shops. After lunch, the buses rolled on. " On the right are rice fields, the lumps around them are levee banks which are used to stop the irrigation water from . . "

THE EXTENDED VARIETY

At " Banooke "

" What did she say?" " Something about the rice fields on the right." " WHERE?" " You missed them." We arrived back at Banooke in time for dinner, and after washing up (when Mrs. Wergel was chased by a mop), we held a concert. The star attraction was Tiger who sang the " Boogie Woogie Womp." The next morning was rather hectic, getting everything packed before we were taken to see the legendary horses. They were in a huge paddock some miles from the homestead. " Don't go any closer or they'll run away." " Which one is the stallion?" " Oh no! I forgot to wind my camera!" We clambered back onto the buses — but what now? One was stuck! The engine roared and spluttered and the wheels spun around in the rut. Finally came the time to say fond farewells to all and turn south, back to Victoria through Echuca where we sat for five minutes stuffing ourselves with apples and oranges while the attendant at the border searched our bags for more. The buses went down through Shepparton, then down the Hume Highway. " Where's my clipboard?" " Has anyone seen my camera?"

The next stop was Morongo, and most of us were sad to get back. On the whole, everyone agreed that the excursion was a marvellous success, but it was lucky that we all had a weekend to recouperate, before being faced with school. Claire Darby, 4L.

TASMANIAN TOUR On Monday, 10th May, thirty-five third form girls accompanied by four sixth form Art students and Miss Philip and Miss Jamieson, left Melbourne by air for Launceston. During the six day tour we travelled from Launceston to Hobart via Bicheno, and then back to Launceston to return home on Saturday, 15th May. Highlights of the tour included visits to Franklin House, Entally House, Buckland's famous church, the New Norfolk Old Colony Inn — and of course Port Arthur. We learnt much of the colonial history of Tasmania by seeing such historic places, and from our most informative bus driver. As well as conducting the cultural side of the trip, the staff members thoughtfully arranged outings to ice-skating rinks, bowling alleys and cinemas. All those who went I am sure had a wonderful time and especially thank Miss Philip and Miss Jamieson for their time, interest, and sometimes sorely needed patience. Kristin Cook. ?7

hostesses to visiting teams was invaluable; we thank the House Sports Captains and other senior girls for their support; and the interest shown by Miss Brookshaw in all our sporting activities has been an encouragement to all players. To Miss Falkenstein go welldeserved thanks for a year's hard work. All the best for Sport '72 . . . . keep up the strong school spirit . . . . " ICKAMALAYA CHEEZ "!! Janet Coutts, Fiona Heard.

ATHLETICS REPORT

SCHOOL SPORTS CAPTAINS

Janet Coutts, Fiona Heard.

GENERAL SPORTS REPORT With today's emphasis on academic success, some people tend to disregard the vital importance of sport. Fortunately this is not the case at Morongo. Plunge! and the Swimming season was under way. It consisted of two inter-school competitions and our annual inter-house sports. Roslyn House, having won the shield for Swimming, went on to a second victory at the Athletic Sports. Both the track and the water involved many girls and much time during the first term, but Tennis and Baseball were not neglected. The school Hockey and Netball teams were chosen in the second term, and an opportunity for those who did not play for school teams was provided in the form of inter-house matches. These matches also involved Tennis and Baseball in Term three, and form sport was played regularly throughout the year. The Council has shown great generosity in providing the girls with new equipment: without such facilities as the Volleyball court new activities could not be established. Once again the boarders have had little time to become lazy, as they have been participating in inter-Boarding House competitions. We were sorry to see Miss Odgers depart at the end of the second term and we all are most appreciative of all she did while teaching at Morongo. Mrs. Brown, the new Sports Mistress, was most welcome at the beginning of the third term. We are both very grateful to those who have helped us this year and who have made our task as School Sports Captains a worthwhile one: Miss Rentoul's aid when we played 28

LUCERNIAN ' EDITRESS: You must be joking! ME: It's the best I can do. L.E.: Maybe we can polish it up a bit? ME: I thought I'd included everything . L.E.: You didn't tell them we took relay teams to Shelford Girls' Grammar School. ME: I was too ashamed to mention it. L.E.: But you needn't tell them we didn't train for it. ME: Perhaps I could use that as an excuse for losing? L.E.: And you didn't say anything about the girls who went to the Camberwell Athletics on the same day — March 20th. ME: At least I told them about our own Athletic Sports. L.E. (in despair): You didn't state that some Shelford girls attended the Sports . . . ME (frenzied at the mention of opposition): That was on the 24th April! I remember that day because we finally beat Shelford! L.E.: You're getting the idea! ME: The Individual Champions of the day were: Senior: Janet Coutts. Runner-up: Christine Spry. Intermediate: Lindy Osbourne. Runner-up: Rosamund Woodburn. Junior: Paula Carew. Runner-up: Christine Riley. Sub-Junior: Catriona Wardaugh. Runner-up: Susan Mackinnon. The successful house was Roslyn, closely followed by Lawson, then Harris, Venters and Ardens. Thanks are extended to Mr. George Moulden for his immeasurable help during the early morning training sessions, and I couldn't forget to elucidate upon the roles of Miss Falkenstein and Miss Odgers in making the day so tremendously successful. L.E.: By George she's got it! ME: (still frenzied): What about the girls who went to compete in the athletics at Echuca on the 23rd October? I could fit that in my report, as well as Christine Spry and Janet Coutts, who were awarded their symbols for Athletics. L.E.: Don't get too carried away! ME: You mean about my Aths. Report? . . You must be joking! Janet Coutts.

ATHLETIC CHAMPIONS G. Richardson (Junior School Champion), K. Wardaugh (Sub-Junior Champion), P. Carew (Junior Champion), L. Osbourne (Intermediate Champion), J. Coutts (Senior Champion).

JUNIOR OLYMPIANS During the weekend of 23rd October, a group of very enthusiastic athletes — Janet Coutts, Anne Chirnside, Susan Dale, Joanne Gilbert, Christine Riley and Christine Spry — travelled to Echuca to represent Morongo at the XV Junior Olympiad. Accommodated very kindly by Mr. Dale, we travelled the 45 miles from Cohuna to Echuca on Saturday, where 1,994 equally nervous Olympians had also gathered. The standard of track and field events was very high, and it was with pride that Morongo gained 6 gold and 2 bronze medallions. Four of the gold medallions were won by the Open Relay Team (Anne Chirnside, Janet Coutts, Jo Gilbert

L. to R.: J. Coutts, S. Dale, C. Riley, A. Chirnside, J. Gilbert, C. Spry.

and Christine Spry), in the record time of 53.0 seconds, taking 1.8 seconds off the previous record. Of course, our success involved many people besides the competitors, and, on behalf of the team, I thank all for their support. We are especially indebted to Mr. Maulden, without whose patient coaching and constant encouragement we would never have done so well. Anne Chirnside. Results:

Open Discus — 3rd: Janet Coutts, 72ft. 7 ins. Open Javelin — 1st: Anne Chirnside, 95 ft. 10 ins. Open Shotput — 1st: Anne Chirnside, 32ft. 5ins. Under 100 Metres — Heat, 2nd: Christine Riley. Final: Unplaced. Open 100 Metres — Heat, 3rd: Janet Coutts, Susan Dale. Final, 3rd: Janet Coutts. Open 200 Metres — Heat, 2nd: Janet Coutts. Final: Unplaced.

SENIOR " A " BASEBALL TEAM L. to R. (top): M. Tucker, J. Gilbert, J. Beckmann (Captain), K. Murdoch, J. Chatham. L. to R. (bottom): S. Malloch, C. Spry, S. Johnstone, C. Brewster.

BASEBALL The baseball season for 1971 began with a " Swing " when the Senior 'A' and 'B' teams skilfully defeated The Hermitage, and, although our following matches were not as successful, the determined efforts and close co-ordination of the players continued. Joanne Gilbert, whose contagious enthusiasm constantly united the baseball teams, must be congratulated on being awarded her baseball symbols, and I extend thanks to all the other girls who helped to make the season so enjoyable.

All the team members are grateful for Miss Brookshaw's interest and inspiring encouragement, and our deep thanks go to Miss Odgers for her perseverance and attentive coaching throughout the first term. Although the results of the Junior matches were not outstanding this year, they will be soon, if the players remain as enthusiastic and persistent as they have been. I know that the potential which was evident this season will bring many of the future teams success. Best of luck! Jackie Beckmann.

BASKETBALL REPORT Seven Morongo girls, a basketball court and an opposition team sounds like a basketball match about to start — but it's not. A team consists of more than tangible items: a team must have some sporting ability and also team spirit and enthusiasm. We were fortunate this year that Morongo teams possessed these attributes. Although we did not win any premierships this season, it was pleasing to see the efforts made by the team members — the Seniors especially. I hope that greater co-operation amongst the Juniors will develop next year as they have the potential to do well. Social matches were played this year against Bell Park High School, Sacred Heart College and Teachers' College. These were valuable

practice for the Association matches and were enjoyed by everyone who participated. In second term interhouse basketball matches were played. Lawson won the Marion Rankin Shield for Senior Basketball, Ardens won the Junior competition and Roslyn the Sub-junior. In third term basketball was not entirely forgotten because inter-form matches were played. Anne Chirnside, Janet Coutts and Christine Spry are to be congratulated on gaining symbols for outstanding performances this season. I should like to thank Miss Falkenstein very much for her encouragement and general he -pfulnessduring the year, and I wish the 1972 basketball teams the best of luck. Fiona Heard.

HOCKEY Hoping to gain glory this season, many energetic girls attended strenuous training sessions during the first term. Thus, true to the coach's motto, Hockey players at the beginning of the season were " fit and happy rather than fat and hippy "! Extra-association matches this year have been useful in providing opportunities for us to try out new tactics. Inter-house sport was again welcomed by members and non-members of Hockey teams — Roslyn House carried off the shield for inter-house Senior Hockey. Six players endeavoured to obtain selection for the Junior state Hockey team, and Joanne

Gilbert and Jennifer Tarrant were successful in passing the preliminary trials. Jennifer went on to be selected for the Junior Victorian Hockey Team. Hockey symbols were awarded to both these players. Thanks to the coach are very well-deserved this year, as Miss Odgers braved bruises, rainy weather and early rising to train our teams. We wish her success in the future. My vice-captain, Darolyn Clarke, has also been a great support during the season. I leave next year's Hockey teams with my best wishes for a worthwhile and enjoyable year. Jennifer Tarrant.

TENNIS REPORT

Social matches throughout the season gave us much enjoyment, as well as serving as useful practice. When confronted with such opposition as the powerful young lads from the Geelong Grammar School, or the fearless fellows from The Geelong College, our Senior teams defended themselves adequately, and the fair sex was not completely disgraced. Keen competition was rife during the third term while contestants strove for a title in the School Championships. We have thoroughly enjoyed playing under Miss Falkenstein's guidance, and we all appreciate what she and Mr. Sleeman have done for Tennis in the school. Janet Coutts, Fiona Heard.

. . . deuce — advantage receiver — deuce — advantage server — Shot! And it's game, set and match to Morongo. This could well have been any of the Tennis teams, but more often than not it was the Senior '13 '. We congratulate the team on being premiers for the season. It seems that tennis was more popular among the Seniors than the Juniors this year, resulting in enough Senior enthusiasts to form three teams, but only one Junior team. We hope that 1972 will bring an abundance of zealous younger players, and that the Seniors will continue to be a source of encouragement.

SWIMMING CHAMPIONS L. to R.: R. Woodburn (Intermediate), M. Tattam (equal Junior), M. Ford (Senior), M. Powell (equal Junior), S. Tattam (Sub-Junior).

SWIMMING REPORT The swimming and diving at Morongo this year has shown considerable improvement. This was displayed at the school's Swimming Sports at Norlane Olympic Pool on 12th March, when the Ena Miller Shield went to Roslyn. The final points were: Roslyn (4501), Venters (444), Ardens (442), Lawson (410), and Harris (357). The boarders' early morning training has continued this season, and largely because of this Morongo tied with Bell Park High School in collecting the trophy at the Geelong All Schools' Swimming Sports. On 27th March M.C.E.G.G.S. was again successful at the Public Schools' Association Swimming Sports, but we hope that when Morongo organizes the competition next year we shall shake their confidence. Despite having to forego attendance at the Boat Races, an enthusiastic team of girls competed in the Victorian All Schools' Swimming Sports on 3rd April, but was unplaced.

36

1971 swimming symbols were awarded to Janette Chatham and Marilyn Ford. I am deeply appreciative of the help Miss Falkenstein and Miss Odgers have so willingly given, and the interest shown by Miss Brookshaw and other staff members. I hope that many girls will again take the plunge next year. We congratulate the Individual Champions: Senior: Marilyn Ford, Runner-up: Sue Lowe. Intermediate: Rosamund Woodburn, Runner-up: Meredith Cooper. Junior: Mardi Powell and Michelle Tattam. Runner-up: Anne Murdoch. Sub-junior: Shani Tattam, Runner-up: Amanda Morwood. Marilyn Ford.

FENCING REPORT This year only one Fencing Team was formed — Anna Bramley, Wendy Lewis, Elizabeth McCann and Alison Kirkpatrick were the privileged few. Although the period has not been eventful, competitions have been held every alternate week and much improvement is evident in the beginners. I should like to

thank firstly the kitchen staff for supplying us adequately with hot toast every week; and secondly Mr. Fadgyas for his capable and eager instruction. I hope that many more girls will show initiative and take up this unusual, yet exciting, sport in the near future. Alison Kilpatrick.

ARDENS " Seek Wisdom " House activities began in earnest when Morongo once again invaded the Norlane Olympic Swimming Pool to hold their annual splash. Competition was keen and we congratulate the Senior Champion, Marilyn Ford, and Roslyn House, which took first place. The next event on the calendar was Sports Day, which was preceded by much hard work on the part of the girls. At this point I must extend my thanks to Sue de Carteret for her competent organization, and for compensating for the loss of our Vice Sports-Captain earlier in the year. Although Ardens attained only fifth place, our placing was not due to any lack of enthusiasm — the junior girls showed particular spirit, and also potential as future athletes. Congratulations to Janet Coutts, one of our keenest house members, on gaining the Senior Championship. Second term threw the girls into preparation for the Music Competitions, and I thank Heather Davis and Judith Eassie who devoted so much time to the presentation of items by Ardens. It was also during this term that several House matches were played in Netball, Volleyball and Hockey: our Junior Netball Team won the Premiership undefeated. The House Assemblies which were introduced this year gave the girls an opportunity to discuss House activities in detail, and unified the House. The Ardens members have been constantly enthusiastic, especially a group of cheerful and diligent House Officials, notably Elizabeth Barnes and Sue de Carteret. Although our results were not outstanding, I know that potential for future triumphs is present. To the House, I wish the best of luck and leave the girls with the happy thought that they need never sing " Trees " again. Jane Brumfield.

ARDENS HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES L. to R.: S. de Carteret (Sports Captain), E. Barnes (Vice House Captain), J. Brumfield (House Captain), H. Davis (Music Representative).

HARRIS " Not Failure, but Low Aim is Crime

HARRIS HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES L. to R.: K. Watson (House Captain), A. Kirkpatrick (Music Representative), M. Julian (Vice House Captain), J. Chatham (Sports Captain).

A motto rarely taught — But it applied particularly well To Harris at the Swimming Sports. Although we didn't exactly win, Morale remained very high — Thanks for cheering, Harris girls, It helped the red flag fly. Again our marching wasn't the best, But remember that on Sport's Day The worms and crickets on the oval Got in Harris's way! Congratulations to Roslyn go; And a grateful prayer we say For Sue Mackinnon and Lindy Osbourne: Their Championships saved our day. Then the Music Comps. — a first in these? What a preposterous scheme! But win we did, and very well too, Talk about an " Impossible Dream "! The Harris Choir sang beautifully, And our soloists well deserve mention: Thanks to Rhonda Koschade, Merrilyn and Alison Whose success is past comprehension. Each week when the Credit Lists are read. We hear many a Harris-ite's name; And the spirit at House matches and Assemblies Has attained Morongo fame. Alison Kirkpatrick and Merrilyn Julian Have been brave, staunch and true; To Rhonda and Carol Turner, as well, I'd like to say a thank-you. My special appreciation to Janette Chatham For the innumerable practices she ran — I don't know how the flag could have flown Without her supporting hands. Although our honours have been few And very far between, The ones we got were really great: A fabulous year it's been. As for the future, to those returning, Remember to constantly try, So that, when it's over, you can say, like us, " We aimed high ". Katrina Watson.

LAWSON " To Strive, to Seek, to Find, and not to Yield " Despite a tendency to concentrate on House sporting activities, all the Lawson girls maintained an enthusiastic and consistent effort throughout the year. The Swimming Sports were won by Roslyn House, and, in spite of our cheering and our vigorous attempts, Lawson gained fourth place. Congratulations to our outstanding house members — Sue Lowe, the Senior Runner-up, and Mardi Powell, equal Junior Champion — and to all other participants who gained a position in the events. Lawson proved a strong rival to Roslyn in the Athletic Sports, finishing second by only two points but the House accepted defeat with a friendly spirit. Special thanks are given to Margaret Crossman, the Music Captain, for her tenacity in preparing for the House Music Competitions, and also for her competent assistance through the year as Vice-House Captain. Harris deserves congratulations for its resounding victory; the Lawson Folk Group sang skilfully, and won the Folk section of the competition. I am very grateful to Ann Tonkin and Susan Dale for their willing support during the exhausting weeks of practice. Several House Teams were successful in gaining premierships this year: my personal thanks go to Diane Macleod, the House Sports Captain. She has done a great deal for Lawson with her efficient and inspiring organization, and was ably assisted by her Deputy, Julie Williamson. I have greatly appreciated the interest of the staff in all our commitments this year, and credit must be given to the active Junior Sports Representatives — Paula Carew and Lyn Macleod. We have had a happy year and I'm sure the talent and zeal I have seen will bring the House success in the future. Good luck Lawson! Jackie Beckmann.

LAWSON HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES L. to R.: M. Crossman (Vice House Captain, Music Representative), J. Beckmann (House Captain), D. Macleod (Sports Captain).

ROSLYN " We are Judged by Our Deeds "

ROSLYN HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES L. to R.: N. Smibert (Vice House Captain), J. Tansley (Sports Captain), J. Brown (House Captain), L. Tucker (Music Representative).

Roslyn House has been successful in many activities this year, mainly due to the efforts of the determined house members. This, in turn, probably results from the House's spirit which was clearly evident, especially in House Assemblies. In the Swimming Sports Roslyn gained first place, with Rosamund Woodburn winning the Intermediate Championship, Michelle Tattam coming runner-up to the Junior Champion and Shani Tattam winning the Sub-junior Championship. With the Swimming Sports over, girls began training for the Athletic Sports — this included much marching practice! These sports were another victory for Roslyn and we thank all girls who trained so hard: congratulations to Christine Spry, who was runner-up to the Senior Champion, and to Rosamund Woodburn, runner-up to the Intermediate Champion, and to Christine Riley, runner-up to the Junior Champion. House sport during the second term comprised Hockey, Netball and Volleyball, and once again Roslyn was successful in the Senior Hockey matches. Our good results in sporting affairs were due to the enthusiasm and consistent efficiency of our Sports Captain, Jennifer Tansley; we were also fortunate to have as a House member Fiona Heard, whose assistance was invaluable. I would like to thank the whole House for its support in the preparations for the Music Competitions. We congratulate Harris House on its fine win, and under the capable guidance of Lynette Tucker Roslyn was placed second. I have greatly appreciated both the help of the girls and of the staff: to those returning — best of luck for 1972, and remember that by your deeds you will be judged. Jocelyn Brown.

VENTERS " No Victory Without Effort " Accompanied by great surprise it was announced at the Swimming Sports in First term, that Venters had come second to Roslyn. We were really thrilled and our optimistic eyes turned to the Athletics. Here we rather sadly won the wooden spoon, again with Roslyn taking first place. However on both occasions I was somewhat surprised and gratified at the House Spirit which drew the girls together. Much of this relatively new enthusiasm can be attributed to the introduction of House Assemblies, which were held every second Tuesday. These allowed the girls to get to know one another, and to know the staff. In second term our Hockey, Netball, and Volleyball teams played with relatively good success. I personally thank those few girls who regularly attended matches to cheer our teams on, as I know how encouraging they were. During third term, Baseball and Tennis matches were played. After many unending hours of fretting and practising in term two, Venters, led by Judy Tantau, entered the House Music Competitions. Once again we came fifth by a small margin, this time ceding the place of honour to Harris. I felt that House enthusiasm generally waned in second term, but on behalf of Judy, I thank all those who took a keen interest. Our musical and athletic accomplishments lay far behind our scholastic level. In first term we won the Credits for the term and also the final totalling of all points, and in the following term we gained second place to Harris in the Credits. Darolyn Clarke, our Sports Captain was always an inspiring person to work with. Her unfailing assistance, organization, and enthusiasm throughout the entire year helped Venters gain all the admiration it deserves. Jenny Smith (Junior Representative) must also be thanked for her efforts in the organization of Junior teams and the help she extended to Darolyn. I should also like to thank the staff for their support and participation in all the House events. Not only do I wish the 1972 Venters success, but in their efforts I wish them victory. Deborah Richards.

VENTERS HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES L. to R.: D. Richards (House Captain), B. Corstorphan (Vice House Captain), D. Clarke (Sports Captain), J. Tantau (Music Representative).

BOARDING HOUSE NOTES Both staff and girls were very pleased to welcome our new Headmistress into the Boarding House at the beginning of first term. We hope Miss Brookshaw has had an enjoyable year, and will continue to have many happy years at Morongo. Old and new girls returned from holidays on 3rd February and were treated to an enjoyable, though blustery, picnic at Torquay on the first Saturday. The Sports Mistresses and Sports Captains organized a Tennis Tournament on 13th February, which provided an opportunity for the new and old girls to get to know each other. Founders' Day fell on 3rd March this year, and the School Council dined with the Boarders before attending a commemorative service in the Hall. After many months of preparation, twenty girls were confirmed at St. David's Church on 25th July. Instead of Mini-Aths an outing to the YouYangs was arranged, and our thanks are extended to those Staff members who organized such an enjoyable day. After a few weeks of hard practice, the Boarding House Music Competitions were staged on the last night of second term, after delicious House barbecues. Miss Philip's adjudication was commendable. Once again, Miss Henderson has shown many films to the Boarders on Saturday evenings, and we thank her sincerely for giving up so much time so willingly. Third Term saw a change in the form of Boarders' Sport — each girl gained points for her House in doing some kind of exercise.

HEAD OF THE BOARDING HOUSE Jocelyn Brown.

This idea proved worthwhile, and House spirit improved greatly. House feasts and a farewell concert are planned for the final night. I would like to extend my appreciation to the Staff, to the Prefects and girls — to all who have made my year so enjoyable. I wish you good luck and success in the future. Jocelyn Brown.

JUNIOR SCHOOL AND NURSERY JUNIOR SCHOOL AND NURSERY We began 1971 successfully with the introduction of two new members of staff, Miss Cure, Grade IV and Mrs. Stewart, Grade III. Our new headmistress has been a welcome visitor to the Junior School and has become a friend of staff and children. We were sorry that Miss Courtney had to take sick leave during Second Term and we wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Smith (Hilary Howie), an Old Collegian, was appointed to take charge of the Nursery and Mrs. V. Denton returned to assist her. The activities of the school have been many and varied, making the daily routine enjoyable to staff and children. The Athletic Sports were held during First Term and Gillian Richardson became the Junior School Champion. It is pleasing to see the support the parents give to these meetings. The girls have enjoyed several excursions during the year. Grades I and II are now seasoned travellers after visiting the Geelong Station and travelling by rail to North Geelong. Mrs. Stewart and Grade III were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Gillett to a morning's shearing. We still have not discovered which was the most impressive, the hay ride, morning tea or the shearing. Grade III and IV followed up the shearing excursion by visiting a woollen mill. Our thanks go to all parents who helped organize these excursions and make them a success. The Children's Arena Theatre visited the school and entertained us with the play " The Decision ". The girls have been encouraged to take a more active part in School life, visits from Social Service representatives have instigated collections of clothing and money for needy folk. Our girls were represented by Grades III and IV in the School Concert for the first time and we thank Miss Habersberger for their training. An enjoyable morning can be spent visiting the new Nursery. The children take part in such activities as cooking, " sewing ", finger painting, carpentry and feeding the many animals which visit the classroom. Our Junior Auxiliary have again supported the staff and school. Their generous gift of the Adventure Playground has been a great success and has provided us with extra playground space. Another large donation to our library has been a benefit to all the children. Assistance given with sewing, covering and mending of books has been another way these willing workers help us. As the end of the year draws near we look forward to a happy Junior School Concert 54

and Nursery Party. The conclusion of the school year brings the departure of one of our staff, Miss Westman, who will be travelling overseas. Our thanks and best wishes go with her for her future. The children and staff hope that the following years will continue to be as happy and fruitful as 1971.

MISS G. V. COURTNEY, T.I.T.C. It is with regret we heard of Miss Courtney's retirement after several months of ill health. From 1947 Miss Courtney has been friend and teacher to the many girls who passed through Morongo Junior School. Miss Courtney came from Tasmania to Morongo when it held classes in the buildings in Roebuck Street, Newtown. In 1952, she was the person in charge and responsible for the organization during the transfer to the new Junior School at Bell Post Hill, and finally for the new Nursery in 1971, which has made the school, a complete unit. The Junior School's increasing number of enrolments has been proof of her good leadership. Miss Courtney's ability to teach any group of children between Nursery and Grade IV standard was an asset to the school. As well as being Head of the Junior School, Miss Courtney remained on the resident staff until 1970. Her devotion, time and effort given to the girls of Morongo was appreciated by all who worked under her. It is for this loyalty to Morongo we give our thanks and wish her a happy retirement.

The Little Wren

Oh, To Be Tall

Morongo

The little wren Goes hop, hop, Round the tree. It cannot stop.

One day, when I was very small I wished I could grow very tall. So instead of being a little elf I could see up on to that highest shelf Where mummy keeps those bumpy parcels Not for the eyes of rascals, " Until Christmas ".

Rosemary Simmonds (P4).

Morongo is the school I love, The prefects catch you without your glove, The girls all come to school each day, To work so hard and then out to play. The trees are full of birds that sing, The daffodils are blooming now it's spring. The girls just love the tyre-swing, And are sad when we hear the home bell ring.

Round and About the Junior School

Sharon Tonkin (P3).

Selina Cocks (P4).

Nursery Girl: " I got new gloves." Nursery Boy: " What you got them on for?" Nursery Girl: (after gazing wonderingly at beautiful new gloves) " To keep out the rain of course." Three year old (as Gd IV girls board the Junior School bus) " Hurry on girlies, hurry on girlies, we mustn't keep the driver waiting." Grade Four Girl: (with two broken legs in plaster and stumping painfully along on crutches after a skiing holiday) " I feel just like an old horse." During a Divinity lesson: " Wouldn't those two pillars of stone with the commandments on be too heavy for Moses to carry down from Mt. Sinai?" All was quiet in assembly after an appeal had been made for contributions to a certain project when an indignant kindergarten voice said, " My mummy hasn't got much money but she may manage a cent ". Grade Three Girl: " You were good as a blackfellow in that play." Grade Two Girl (emphatically): " You don't have to tell me, I know." Voting for form-captain was secret and competitive. One paper said with typical Pat Jones' (fictitious) hand writing and spelling — I think Pat Jones. Teacher (during Geography lesson): " What are some animals found in the South Temperate Zone?" Pupil: " Spiders — we've got lots of them." 59

LETTERS TO THE EDITRESSES Dear Eds. It's now plain to see, That everything's as it should be; You've censored, corrected, And wisely selected — This excellent limerick by me! Eds: Thanks above for your obvious try; You're not bad, that we cannot deny; And we've heard many worse — But we've printed your verse So you'd all read our excellent reply!

To the Editor, Would it be possible for the canteen to have freshly-cut sandwiches, fruit juices and fresh fruit daily throughout the year? I feel that many other students, including myself, would appreciate this. Hungry Student, 4X. 60

A PROBLEM FOR THE EDITRESSES I am writing to inform you of my problem, which concerns receiving telephone calls from boys. I am absolutely rapt in a long-haired, blackbearded hunk from Grammar, and I have my suspicions that he has tried to contact me several times. The staff haven't mentioned anything to me about any phone calls. I feel I am being too pushy if I write to him, explaining why I can't receive his calls, so could you please advise me how we could become in touch with each other. Heart Broken Anonymous. Dear Heart Broken, We could not think of any suitable advice to offer, so we forwarded your letter to the " Corian ". Eds.

Dear Editresses, I have often wondered why those who criticize the segregated system of education concentrate largely on the private schools. State schools, such as the Melbourne Boys' High of high repute, are very rarely condemned for their policy of segregation. Lately, I have begun to wonder if the reason behind this is due — to some extent — to the amount of publicity given to some private schools who have decided to go co-educational. It almost appears that among some of the private schools at least, it is now ' fashionable ' to merge an all-boys' school and an all-girls' school together. Two of these schools even made the headlines when it was announced that a small number of girls was going to attend classes with the sixth form boys. It was also proudly announced that this ' move ' had been made, as it was considered quite healthy for members of both sexes to mix together academically as well as socially. The rest of us were stunned — what a discovery these private schools had made! I should not wonder if all the other co-educational schools had a chuckle to themselves — after all, they have been practising the system for years! However, I wish to assure you that it is not ' sour-grapes ' on my part; I am perfectly contented with the present — segregated — system at our School. It is merely that I feel that a minority of the independent schools are making the others look like they do, Rip Van Winkles emerging from a deep sleep into a vastly changed world. If they must ' take the plunge ', can't they do it without making such a splash? Yours, etc. No Fanfare. Dear No Fanfare, We agree, but as Confucius say: "he who new to diving always make splash". Eds.

Dear Eds., It all began on casual day. I was wearing my red tights with my black fluffy jumper. I suppose you think I was asking for trouble, but had I known what was lurking behind the staff-room door, I would have stuck to my good vinyl skirt and twinset. I suppose you will now wonder just what it was that " swept me off my feet " that fatal day. I won't mention any names, but when I saw D.H. in a kilt, I went all funny. Signed: DESiree.

Dear Eds., I have very hairy legs, and broad shoulders. I feel different from everyone else in the school. When I arrived on casual day, one girl in red tights and a black fluffy jumper went all funny. What can I wear to make me less conspicuous? Des(perate). Dear Des(perate), To make yourself less conspicuous (1) wear long socks to disguise your problem legs (2) what about a nice kilt?

Dear Editresses, What would you do when, after confiscating a third-former's tunic-belt, she informs you that she desperately needs it because she hasn't any elastic in her pants? Signed: Puzzled Prefect. Dear Puzzled Pre., Having once been third-formers ourselves we would check to make sure — you can never trust a third-former. Eds. P.S. Why all this sudden modesty?

Dear Editresses, Isn't it about time that Asian languages were introduced into this school, instead of learning only Latin, French and German. Surely, when Australia is situated so close to Asia, students should be learning Japanese, Indonesian and Malaysian as well as Chinese and others. Since Australia's trade is swinging to Asian countries these would be most useful. Elizabeth Mann.

Dear Editresses, I feel the system of Prefects in a school such as Morongo is good. However, I think it is more just and workable if the Green Blazers took over the work of the Deputies who could then be eliminated. I feel this would be workable because they have the necessary stamp of authority to have a more significant effect on the school as a whole. Secondly I think this is fairer because they would have all the work as well as all the glory. Yours, etc. A left-over Prefect.

Dear Miss Mann, Ah so.

Dear left-over, Go to Blazers. Eds.

Dear Editresses,

Dear Eds.,

It may be true that there are two levels of communication in society, but that level belonging to the younger generation is not ultimately superior or infallible, as they believe. The young people are trying to prove to the world, but primarily to themselves, that they are supreme, that they have a greater perception and understanding of the world than their parents ever possessed.

SUSAN LYLE just wanted to get her name in the " Luc." before Morongo regurgetates SUSAN LYLE in December of this year. SUSAN LYLE has been handing in " Luc." contributions for eight long years. SUSAN LYLE has never had one printed. Poor, unrecognized SUSAN LYLE. If SUSAN LYLE doesn't make it this year, SUSAN LYLE never will. —ANONYMOUS.

Is it so bad to be a " wrinkly "? T.J. Dear T.J., How about entering our Miss Wrinkly Morongo contest? Entry forms are available at the staff-room. Eds.

Dear Editresses, The other day I came across an exciting prospect in my Maths I book. It read: " We can now evaluate the answer to the race problem ". Hopefully I read on only to discover that it referred to a mathematical problem about a running race. Still hoping. Dear Still hoping, You can't find answers like that in black and white. Eds.

Dear Anonymous, Who is SUSAN LYLE?

Dear Editresses, How about a school magazine published every month for the unlucky few (?) who do not get their contributions into the Lucernian. Material such as a Dorothy Dix column, Wanted to Buy and Sell columns, and information about school activities could all be provided in this mag. The minority of materials published in the Lucernian are submitted by the same people every year and does not show average talent, and only the talented entries are put in. Yours, Undiscovered — but waiting. Dear Undiscovered etc., Are you SUSAN LYLE? Eds.

PHOTOGRAPH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We should like to thank Wendy Knight who spent much time as our " official " non professional photographer and the following girls whose contributions appear in the magazine this year.

From " Reflections " M.U.P.

Billboard

A big, bright billboard, delicate and sensitive in design " BRITISH SHIPBUILDING LEADS THE WORLD ". A ship and an emblem sell their own propaganda " BRITISH ACHIEVEMENTS SPEAK FOR BRITAIN ". What else speaks for Britain, Achievement and Franchise. Slag heaps? Or are they unused tiles Mixed with the stones and trash of A generation of thoughts: Remains of a kerb are evident, Paved weeds seeming to lead To a Nowhere called Chaos. A lonely telephone pole — symbol of contact And communication, Thwarting the silence imposed on us By the human waste. One light in the fog making the air seem Empty with droplets of water. The penetrating brazenness Of success that cannot be escaped. Squalid houses — a familiar sight. Broken walls, dirty chimneys, White shutters trying aimlessly to keep a Feeble suggestion of identity against the encroaching Shadows of the midnight sun. A factory in the distance, Long rows of windows and chimneys, Of letters spelling a name. And endless clumps of common, smog-choked Grass.

64

Cracks in a wall — how long will it last? Who lives here, and Why? What do they see in this panorama of humanity, This glimpse of the higher form of life, this Monument To the Utter Superiority of man? Why do these people exist? What are their origins and ends? Who rules over them and controls their joys And sorrows? What is their aim in life? Who or what do they worship? To whom do they owe their pitiful Allegiance and Wavering faith? Or are they already wise? Do they already intuitively realise that here There is no hope? That no-one saves the dregs of the coffee That is at times too bitter And at times too sweet? Coffee! The sticky fluid of life, that Slowly drips down the slag heap of The human waste; dribbles Around the telephone pole of contact, And the lamp post of success; Always going down the road of Chaos That by-passes the regulated, Rigid Maelstrom of Purpose. The sky's a funny colour — kind of blotchy brown: Like nitrogen dioxide. Representative of the poison That is inherent and apparent In the human Mind and Soul and race, Something corrosive that eats into the Ironmongery of our nerves and leaves a Rusted monument to the Courage Of Conviction. The telephone wires are invisible too. There is no connection. Has the light of success covered them, Or have they been corroded? What do they represent? Communications. Breakdowns. Sudden beautiful flash of Truth, unity And Inspiration; When two souls Become One For their brief moment of time. The tensions of the world. All Inextricably bound up. Stretched tight, Almost to breaking point. Wait for the sudden snap. How monotonous it all is, Same old sky, same old squalor. Same depressing heap of tiles. Same cracks in the same walls. The eternal window shutters, all alike In their long depressing row. The solitary telephone and lamp posts. Variety. The unchanging stones of the Hard, cruel earth. Only a big, bright billboard, nakedly obvious, Announces its proposed propaganda " BRITISH SHIPBUILDING LEADS THE WORLD ". And leers down at the rubbish — " BRITISH ACHIEVEMENTS SPEAK FOR BRITAIN ". All the while enscribing the epitaph of a nation. Elizabeth Hawker (16 years). 65

Reality

Can protons, neutrons, blindly merge in space, With no direction from Divinity? Yet with uncomprehending clarity, Man finds all love in the beloved's face, And all wide waters in one wave's embrace; All beauty in a rose; all verity In one brief moment of reality; All music in a bird's song, that can move Our hearts. We feel Infinity— In ignorance, but with sure certainty. We know the God of Beauty, Truth and Love, Not from beyond unknown stars above, But in the commonplace we hear and see With hearts uplifted to Eternity. M.E.C. (Staff).

my brief, uncorrupted childhood, I believed, and still do believe, Happiness is • • thatIn I was happy. Childhood ended when I opened my eyes, did not like what I saw, and tried to shut them again. Like most things, this failed. So then my bleary eyes were kept widely open, even during restless sleep. The day I shut them again will be the day I die. If you open one door, you shut another. I opened my eyes, and the happiness drained away. Behind the front page of the newspaper, on which there is a photograph of a beautiful model on St. Kilda beach, are the tragedies which have struck the world. The smile on the model's face is shot down by the bullets fired in Vietnam, and her smooth brow is creased by thoughts of starving refugees in India. So I close the newspaper that has filled me with more sorrow than the five cents it is worth, and walk slowly down the street. From a screaming mob of children brawling in a front lawn swimming-pool comes a cry of pain. The happiness and fun of children playing always ends abruptly with pain; even I can remember being ducked in a pool. On entering a tram and climbing over rubbish and filth, I cannot sit down because of all the people — curse them. After paying a fortune in fares and after lifting my eyes from the bawdy pink ticket, I am met by an abundance of mournful faces; some with eyes like those of a Basset Hound, others with the sagging wrinkles of an old Boxer. Feeling suddenly ill, I alight and walk into a milk bar. Food should make me happy. The smell of peanuts and malt is pungent, a juke-box is moaning and is surrounded by bored louts in faded denims. Dissatisfied again, I walk out. Across the road is a park. Happiness is lying close to Nature; that is if you have insect repellent. As well as focusing upon small insects, which are driving me mad, I can see a boy and girl lying in the grass, not worrying about the gnats and flies. From them I could perhaps draw the conclusion that love is happiness, but I know that it is not. Then, shutting my eyes and enjoying the envelopment of blackness, I think about my little escapade and my subconscious endeavour to find true happiness. Now I know that happiness is unobtainable. Anne Hastie (15 years).

A Big Thing in Life

Over and over, as if in slow motion, they turn and turn, descending towards the final death and destruction for which I myself am responsible. But at that moment the light catches a gleam of the shining surface, marred only by the fingerprints which are a last mocking reminder of the cursed fetters that enchained me for so long, and which I so often tore from me in a frenzy of agony and disgust. Downwards they tumble, until the concrete floor reaches up to toss them into seas of oblivion and final forgetfulness. They crash and shatter into a million tiny fragments, never to be whole again, and now I can crush them under foot and revel in my victory. Crushing and stamping in my newly found freedom which has let me see the light and the world as they really are, and not through a pair of tortoise-shell frames! Margot Pizer (17 years).

Carla Lange (15 years).

Life

To put to pen and ink What's written on your mind. To describe vividly What you think you imagine. To openly speak about that Which irritates your feelings. To privately think What should not be spoken. To do all this and more. Yet never be perfect But remain human. These are the qualities Of a real person. Kari Kristiansen (15 years).

Wild Fury

The Creature

The Birds

There was a bird that sat on a tree And sang a very sweet song for me, As she nibbled the apples all day; She quickly and silently flew away. The next day when I came to see The little birdie in the tree, To my surprise I did see All her babies, ONE, TWO, THREE! I decided to build a nest, Where all of them could rest, As they played, they squawked all day Until they were ready to fly away. Kate Hayward (8 years).

Across the field ran a chestnut horse, Her mane was not thick, her tail was not coarse. She ran on the breeze, she ran on the air. Wild Fury, I called her — my chestnut brown mare. My father had trained her since she'd been a foal, She'd galloped across fields, and mines for the coal. Wild Fury was mine, love poured through my heart, And I knew with Wild Fury I never would part. Lynda Scott (11 years). Miss Murray is my English teacher; She gives us lots of things to do. We have just learnt about a funny creature, It makes a noise that goes " moo ". I suppose you've guessed it is a cow, But you are wrong and I'll tell you now: It is not a cow, it is not a calf, It is Miss Murray when she laughs. Inara Coates (10 years). 67

Chips

Curled by the fire on a Winter's night, A black fur ball with eyes so bright Which gleam and reflect the flicker of flame, And ears which prick as I call his name. This is my cat, so sleek and proud, Who meows for his food so terribly loud That I have to run to the cupboard to get The tin off the shelf for this noisy pet. When he goes out, on a moonlit night, He stalks all the shadows, and jumps in the light, And frolics with moonbeams, and chases a frog, While I curl up in bed, and sleep like a log. Nicola Reid (12 years).

My Thoughts About Autumn

Wishful Thinking

Autumn has a wonderful gift, The wind is rough and the clouds are swift, Autumn leaves come tumbling down, Just as a new coloured eiderdown. The weather is cold and dreary, And the trees are growing weary. They drop their leaves upon the ground; They come floating down without a sound.

Sally Egan (10 years).

At night when I lie down in bed, The thoughts that run around my head Sometimes are funny, sometimes sad, Sometimes good and sometimes bad. Eventually I fall asleep, And then my dreams begin to creep, Into my mind they come at last, Sometimes slow and sometimes fast. And when I am at school next day, Whether at work or whether at play, I wish my dreams would come true; I always wish they would, don't you?

The Show

Lucinda Woodend (8 years).

What fun it is at show time With so many things to see. And also the sideshows That we visit merrily. I love to buy the showbags With so many different things. I like to watch the horses Go prancing round the rings. The grand parade is marvellous; It's always a thrilling sight. There's also bands and fireworks Which look so pretty at night. Hoorah, hoorah for show time, With all the magic lights. We never tire of show time Because it's always fun.

Sassparilla said the Yank as I drank. Parings of other / people's talk rose sourly, as he chewed on the nipple of his fag. I drank the Sass and listened. His mouth was opening and opening and closing / a machine gun spitting, drilling out rounds of spite, Hitting. The Cash Register smashed out a drawer Like some fleshy exhibitionist of raw Money. My eyes RANG with it and suddenly I was diluted by the banal salt and beery room / smell of chins, and I too, I flashed and sunday-nighted in the cafe. I had lost control.

Death

This small room once held Joey, a man of twenty-four, who had been there for four years. Throughout the four years he sat waiting for the trial and verdict, appeals and rejections, never knowing if tomorrow would bring death. He confided his feelings to me, his minister. While sitting on that wooden chair, I remember him telling me that death was the one thing he feared. He could bear pain and sorrow, he could take all solitary confinement, but it was the thought of death which he was most concerned about. He thought continually of not being able to see, speak, feel, or comprehend anything. Death was the end; there would be no life as he knew it on earth. As he told me these things he would tremble, then move over to the bed, where he lay down and stared up at the ceiling, all the time trembling. Often I would try to calm him by telling him about the Old Testament Book of Genesis. Joey seemed to enjoy hearing about God, so when I left I put the Bible on the shelf. He must have thought often of death, because only the Book of Genesis betrayed the effects of reading and rereading. The part he seemd to love was that describing the creation of the world and of Man. One day as I went to visit him he was sitting and reading the Bible intently. After watching him for what seemed to be several hours, he suddenly broke into tears. I could not help feeling sorry for Joey, whose only real crime was the building up of hate inside himself, which had resulted in violence towards another man. No there was beginning to manifest itself in him a belief in God and the hereafter. " Why this?" he screams; The day came and it was time. As I walked into the cell he knelt. It was my last visit but he did not say a word. To try to comfort him would have been useless because it was that petrifying moment when death was foremost in his mind. As we walked down the corridor, his every step seemed to slash my heart, but he did not hesitate, nor was he overcome when they strapped him into the electric chair. He never said a word. He only stared with a look of fear, such as I have never seen in a man. In a moment it was over and Joey was dead. I went back to his cell and there on the desk lay a torn piece of paper, on which was written John Donne's poem titled " Death ". As I read it I began to understand why Joey had not spoken, for this poem had explained to him what I had not been able to. Candi McCall (16 years).

Futility

A camouflaged figure leaps across an open clearing, A roar of machine-guns, The flight of treacherous feet, A comrade cries hysterically, Unwilling to believe; His blood-spattered hands Raised to the heavens in protest, To a belief he does not understand. Why this? he screams; Then all is still. His silent weeping The only epitaph to death. Sue Chambers (17 years).

New Life

Enfolded. Perfectly formed, calm. Smooth as rain on a shadow, flickering gracefully within itself. Tiny, unknowing; yet knowing that life will come — in one swift action that will extinguish carefully, with infinite pain, and ever so softly this way of life — to begin another. Bronwyn Mackinnon (15 years). 71

The Choir

Birdlike they sit Disapprobation gleams in every eagle eye. Light reflections streak on the glass of horn-rimmed frames. Gravely they watch from their ethereal position the antics of grey-clad bodies. Wrapped in their blue shrouds they smile with sanctimonious contentment. Hypocrites. Deborah Richards (16 years).

In Praise of Toast and Marmalade

The plate writhes in anguish as it exists through the eternity of waiting, waiting for the click that will pop another piece of toast into the world. A gentle, warm aroma fills the air, an aroma which belongs with blazing winter fires, bringing with it a pervading sense of comfort and well-being. At last the secretive depths of the toaster release their captive, ejected into life in golden-brown glory. It rests there an instant, shimmering in the waves of heat which linger to enshroud it. But not for long; grasping hands snatch it and subject it rudely to the lesser dominions of a plate. With churning stomach, large chunks of golden creaminess are applied to the delicate warmth of the softly glowing surface, and as gold merges into gold its intensity increases in a luscious, dripping moistness. But no time to admire the beauty of its texture! On, on, the stomach urges, it will not wait. The jar, the marmalade jar, is roughly seized from the cupboard, and its contents rapidly applied in generous smears. One moment to appreciate the intermingling of gold, orange and brown, then out with the knife and the mute sufferer is crudely rent into four pieces. What tantalizing ecstasy! With what piquancy the taste buds are assailed, in wave after wave of bitter-sweet delight. Four, three, two, one; they disappear, moist tingling morsels of fleeting fulfilment. Gone. Engulfed in a feeling of barrenness I turn from the empty plate to a desolate world. Rhonda Koschade (17 years).

Prelude to Captivity

In the reaching shadows of the Wall The darkness dissolves into insipid murkiness, And a vibrating halo of insects Congregates at the solitary lantern. The sidewalk glistens, and embraces the pale moon, Whose reflection is stamped solidly upon the concrete, As if in denial of its innate grandeur. Yet the Wall remains an intrinsic menace — Hindering both sides with its staunch greyness. The muffled song of lonely feet Denudes the scene of its quiet tranquillity. And in a ghastly hollow of high-pitched expectancy The Wall claims yet another victim: His voice, repenting iniquities, rents the air — " Lord in your ineffable love, grant me salvation ". His raised head is captured in a skylit moonbeam; The cheeks glisten with pathetic tears. The insects recognise these heart-felt yearnings, As the victim crosses the Wall into captivity. Judith Eassie (17 years).

Skiing

The downy, soft, snow-white slopes lie before them like a paradise of untouched enjoyment. For their life is to ski, to speed down the slopes; to divide each flake into a wave of crystal beauty with the charm of a thousand swans gliding to the water's surface; to curve and bend with grace and perfection over a vast carpet of fleecy snow, with the wind behind, and infinity beyond; to jump with magnificence and sail into a plain of small albino flakes. The danger which is concealed in every sharp corner and rapid slope is their kind of freedom and their kind of life. Jennifer Marl es (16 years). 73

Pseudo

I search, Delving into the silent depths of being. Struggling wildly for an answer that lies throbbing, Black, deceitful, repulsive in the passages of my mind; Driving me back, Tempting my desire to control all the answers, Reflecting an image that isn't really me. And I am frightened, Terrorized by a mirror of other faces, Dreading the hour when my mirror will crack from side to side and the spell will be broken. So I warn, Do not accept me as I am Nor judge me by what you see — For that is my outer-self, my reflection. Me is chained deep inside this shell, Screaming escape. Anne Chirnside (17 years).

Tranquillity

Into the realm that envelops my being I glide, Slowly drifting from the wake of consciousness Into a world apart from reality, My body benumbed in silent calm. And my mind, abstracted and imaginary, Revels in tranquil inactivity As it verges on the shores of fantasy, And I dream . . .

A Thought

Unheeded Majesty

Life is not living, Life is existing In a world where there is no turning back, Where doors have locks And windows iron bars, And Eternity is no longer a word.

M. L. Randell (16 years).

Rosemary Carlile (17 years).

Rumbling, the reeling echoes rode around the sleeping town. Wondering, the old man yawned, and his tawny eyes opened, just in time to watch the beginning of the dawn. Sleeping. Then the silence stirred, and flocks of birds and newspapers rustled in the restlessness. The melody of life returning, Humming, buzzing in the crisp and dewy morn. Revelling, the rippling rays of sun Spread quickly, and started to run in rings; all around the stillness. A web of golden mystery was spun; then stillness shattered in the sun. Peace. The climax had faded, now the sweet-scented, perfumed passion of morning had come, and had gone. The hot, sticky fashion of the day arrived and was welcomed by none. Bronwyn Mackinnon (15 years).

Sacrilege

Pure virginal snow slopes Weaving, undulating among the peaks Bound by a dimpled mountain stream. In a hazy veil Raindrops on parachutes Snuggle into powder snow. Laden leaves bend like aged men; Slender trunks in child-like naivety Stand bare, vulnerable in the cold. Sometimes a weakling sun Stretches pale trembling delicate fingers Through the dense over-cloth And dapples the white with yellow. It is silent and still, until With a rush, in a hurry Everything is in a flurry, Buses, skiers, everywhere Oh my solitude, Beware! Baskets, goggles, cameras too Fuel and smoke and things taboo, Chocolate, lunches, cans of beer Laughing, shouting, full of cheer. Almost ready for the run, Boots then skis; it has begun. The torture of a maiden land Swift and cruel, the human hand. Down the mountainside they go Churning up the quilted snow, Falling, tripping, gouging, soiling, All her beauty thus despoiling, Scarred and torn her bosom bleeding, Nature sighs in silent pleading. Time soothes those smarting wounds With potions cool and clean Gentle caressing flakes Wander to the naked openings Healing anew. Evening drops her mantle As pain ebbs in the soft darkness. And all is silent and it is still.

Ode

Nothingness

76

Susan Henshaw (17 years).

Smelly rubber gloves that leak; Grease and grime that streak And coat the dishes dipped in new Lux soap; In tepid brown, lost specks of colour bob up, down And round about, and turn my stomach inside out. The sleezy slime of meals gone by Encrusts the sink in camaraderie; — This is biodegradable degradation. Rhonda Koschade (17 years).

You couldn't know what it's like to live in nothingness, In the shadow of defeated hope, Of extinguished joy, Of withered life; To toil under the burden of inevitability From arid morning to burning noon to balmless night. But I do. Anonymous (17 years).

Boarding

The Dying Newspaper

Up at seven, school at nine, Early morning — rise and shine. Race to breakfast . . . don't be late! Or you'll be suffering a painful fate. Off to school, hurry, hurry — Miss Mitchell is in a flurry. Dust is flying, clothes everywhere, Can't find belt, no ribbon in hair. School is over, off to Tucky, Then get a shower, if you're lucky. Into bed and turn off the light, Go to sleep: goodnight, 'goodnight. Barbara Fawcett (11 years).

All screwed up in a crumpled heap, In a rubbish bin where odours creep, Squashed tomato, rotten egg, Mouldy orange, broken keg; This company I must endure — Unhappy life, you may be sure! I think back to not long ago — It's hard to realize it was so — When children's hands flicked through my pages, And balding heads read social rages — But what's the use of recollection While waiting for the rubbish collection? Megan Poulston (12 years). 77

A Thief

Sleeky

78

Into the darkened room he creeps, smiling his hideous smile. He crouches by the safe, his figure sharply silhouetted against a moonlit wall; softly he curses to himself and waits for the moon to retreat behind the clouds. Then he carefully turns the lock to the combination, the safedoor swings open slowly and his hands fumble as he greedily claws the contents. His face is dark, gypsy-like; his black eyes are like narrow slits cut into his stony face, the face which never betrays him. I watch, fascinated, as he moves silently to the door. His shoulders are slightly stooped. At the bottom of the stairs he turns and looks up at the room he has just burgled, a cruel, jagged smile carved onto his mask-like face, knowing that I have been watching all the time. Eve Kelly (13 years).

Sleeky stoat is lean and long, small and shy and swift and strong; With keen bright eyes and a ginger coat — A really beautiful Baby stoat! Sleeky plays Just like a kitten; Watch out, though, or you'll get bitten! Here's a secret — Isn't it frightful, Baby stoats are very spiteful. Andrea Rachinger (11 years).

Lost

I'm in a big wood. I'd get out if I could. I'd be out at all cost, But I think I am lost. Hark! What was that? Was it a bat? No, not in a wood; I don't think it could. Great calf! There's the path, The path — Oh my! At last. Now I can go home And get on the phone, And tell everyone Where I have been. Frances Hay (9 years).

The Night

The day, like a living child, has said goodbye, and the night has thrown its vast shroud over the earth. All is still. The world is large; the dark is infinite. The moon ventures over the threshold of her home. Frail and bent, she wanders lost through the sky, taunted and beckoned by the will-o-thewisps of the night. She shimmers on the pool of inky dark, so deep, still, fragrant and vast. The world is asleep, covered by the blanket of night. Penelope Cohen (13 years).

" Did it Hurt?" (or the T.B. Injection)

" Did it hurt? Did it hurt?" I asked as countless schoolgirls Dawdled back to class. " No " with bland assurance, Hoping to dispel my every fear With just one word. " Did it hurt?" I further probed, And heard of every agony, And girls brought close to tears. " Did it hurt?" I still pursued, And (doubtfully) " Well just a bit At the start — not really ". Too late — pushed into line, A bit of yellow card poked at me, Standing, waiting to find out Whether it hurt. Mandy Matheson (13 years).

Pollution

When I walk down the street, And a huge truck goes by And shoots its exhaust Right into my face: When I look at the houses In regular rows, With no green in sight And no sign of life: When I see all the factories Belching their smoke Up into the air, Which we have to breathe: When I watch the black sludge Flow through great pipes, And into brown rivers Where people swim: I wish I could live Where the air is fresh, And the skies are blue, Where the clear fresh rivers Flow into the sea. Where the bushland grows, And the song of birds Fills the air with joy, And where man Can live in peace. Sally Price (11 years). 79

Janet Woods (13 years).

The Prize-Winner

There he sits, trying to look unobtrusive, but making himself more noticeable by his efforts. During the monotony of the preliminary speeches, he wriggles with impatience and cranes his neck to see which of his friends and relatives have come to witness his triumph. His moment arrives and with it his courage drains away. As the crowd applauds his face develops a faint rosy hue in keeping with his ruffled composure. He extends a shaking hand which is grasped firmly by that of the chairman whom he secretly sees as a reflection of himself in thirty years. This consolidation of his success seems to strengthen him and he assumes a sedate attitude with his shoulders thrown well back to support the mantle of glory. He visibly swells as if to make enough room to hold all the congratulations that he feels he deserves. Slowly turning, he beams at the rows of eyes which are all focussed on him. He pauses in his regal descent to sneer at the row of aspiring students who have gained only minor prizes. On the final step, he throws a last, desperate glance around the theatre before sinking back into the bog of insignificance. Margaret McLean (17 years).

" Never use foreign borrowings in essays"

The status quo in the alma mater is blase as the junta refuses to grant carte blanche for the students. Its facon de parler is not en clair and the fons et origo of the ipsissima verba is not known. Clearly the junta is en prise as its methods are demode. The students gathered at the point d'appui and declared that if the junta wanted to continue to have joie de vivre its parlementaire better step forward. He did this with a mens consciarecti and a bona fide esprit de corps prevailed. Penelope Cohen (13 years).

"To David .

Can you picture me now? Lying on the floor of my room, Thinking of you . . . only you. Don't ask me how I can write this, it cuts me . . . more deeply than you could know. You have meant so much to me for so long, God knows, I would have died for you . . . at times. And often, the intensity of what I felt for you, . . . made me afraid. You, never did understand that anyone could feel like that, Simply and honestly loving you, With none of the pretences and false impressions, That those who love less than I . . . affect. You, never did understand . . me. And now in an agony of realization, I discover . . . I just don't love you anymore.

The Breaking of the Drought

The beat of Rock That thumps on my brain triggers off sensations beyond my control, And I cry with relief That in this mechanical world I still have some involuntary emotion. Jennifer Marles (16 years).

A breeze blew the dry leaves along the dusty lane. It gently blew the old farm gate back and forth. It crept through the barn doorway, and rustled the dry straw. But still there was no rain. Working in the field, the old farmer rested on his pitch-fork, wiped the sweat from his brow, and looked up at the clear sky, searching for a sign of rain. There was none! None at dusk! None that night! None through all the next day! Then it came! A sun-shower at first — then it poured. The thunder echoed, with the lightning shining like a golden dagger across the background of dark stormy clouds. At first the dry parched soil could not take all the water, driving it off like a waterproof coat. The rain grew thicker and gushed down the lane, taking with it the leaves and pebbles and anything else in its way. It joined the river in the valley flowing this way and that, dodging rocks. The current was strong. The rain was heavy. The wind howled. The lightning flashed. Next morning, there were clouds in the sky. The rain dripped through the holes in the spouting into the soggy wet earth. The sun shone, but not brightly. The brown grass breathed new life. The old farmer had been up since the crack of dawn. He was used to this life — this life of sun and rain and snow and droughts. The cold life, the hot life, which was better? He had lived through other droughts, other times when the earth shrivelled up beneath the scorching sun, but this drought . . . He was most thankful that it was over. It meant new life for him, so he just kept working, but with a whole load off his mind. Penny Mellor (13 years).

OLD COLLEGIANS' ASSOCIATION

OLD COLLEGIANS' ASSOCIATION Office-Bearers for 1972 President: Mrs. NOELE COOK. Senior Vice-President: Mrs. JOAN MORWOOD. Junior Vice-President: Mrs. PAM WARLAND. Secretary: Mrs. MARLENE RYAN. Assistant Secretary: Mrs. ANN HOWARTH. Treasurer: Mrs. BARBARA CARR. Assistant Treasurer: Mrs. BEVERLEY' WILLIAMS. " Lucernian " Representative: JEAN RENTOUL, " Morongo ".

ANNUAL REPORT 1971 I have much pleasure in presenting the Annual Report for Morongo Old Collegian's Association for 1971. I feel I must start this report with a word about Miss Brookshaw who commenced duties as Principal this year. Even though she has had a very busy schedule at school she has endeavoured to join in all Old Collegian's functions, and meet as many members as possible. We greatly appreciate the time and interest she has given, as we realize what a full time job she has and we thank her for her co-operation. Our year began on 28th November, with the Annual Meeting held in the Canteen followed by drinks and savouries, with Luncheon in the Dining Hall. This was a memorable day for Old Collegians being Miss Shaw's last Reunion as Principal and the fact that so many girls were present was a tribute to her. Our guests for the Luncheon were Miss Shaw, her sister Miss Daisy Shaw, Miss Sutherland, Miss Henderson, Jean Rentoul, and Jean Rowe, as well as representatives from the Old Collegians Associations of P.L.C., M.L.C., Melbourne Grammar and The Hermitage, Mrs. Higginbotham from the Advertiser and the School Prefects. The President Eathorne Pavia proposed the Loyal Toast, Ida Bourke, Wimmera President, the Toast to the School and Jessie Beckmann, Western District President the Toast to the guests. Miss Shaw responded for the School supported by Judith Clutterbuck the Head Prefect, and Mrs. Wilkinson from P.L.C. for the guests. Eathorne presented Miss Shaw with a Life Membership badge, a flower-filled basket (made and arranged by Old Collegians), 88

a lizard Skin handbag and a cheque (which she has since put towards a car) from Old Collegians as farewell gifts. Eathorne said she could not adequately express the feelings Old Collegians had towards Miss Shaw, but her leadership and devotion to the School for the past twenty nine years would still be felt for many years to come. We wish Miss Shaw a happy well earned retirement. Our thanks must go to Jean Rentoul, Jean Rowe and the domestic staff for the excellent catering arrangements and the preparation of a seated Luncheon for almost 250 Old Collegians. We also thank the Intermediate Boarders for waiting on the tables. During the year Miss Shaw has kept in touch with the Association whilst on an overseas trip with her sister. Prior to her departure we presented her wth a small travelling case, which she assures us has proved invaluable. While in Europe Miss Shaw attended the Soroptomists International Conference in Rome, and met up with Old Collegians living overseas. In February our President attended the years first Assembly conducted by Rev. R. Waters, when the Chairman of the School Council, Mr. McCann, introduced Miss Brookshaw. Eathorne spoke and gave Miss Brookshaw the assurance of the support of the Old Collegians. Also during February Mrs. McCann entertained at afternoon tea, the office-bearers of all organizations associated with the School to enable them to meet Miss Brookshaw prior to the commencement of the school year. The Committee entertained Miss Brookshaw and the Staff to a Buffet Dinner at Royal Commonwealth House on 24th February. This was a most enjoyable night with many compliments about the food. For a talking point during the evening Carolyn O'Regan (Blokkeerus) prepared an interesting display of fashions and brochures collected on her trip overseas in 1970. The Garden Fete was held on 13th March. Old Collegians were responsible for the HoopLa, Lucky Envelopes, Drinks and Ice-creams as well as contributing to all other stalls. Thank you to all who helped. The total profit from the Fete $1,450 is to be put towards Audio-visual equipment valued at approximately $5,000 for the proposed new Library. The Old Collegians received an invitation to attend Miss Brookshaw's Installation Service at St. David's on 19th March. This was a very moving and inspiring service, and those present included members of Miss Brookshaw's family, the School Council members and their wives, members of the Presbytery of Geelong, Parents, Old Collegians, senior girls and the School Choir which took part in the service. We thank the Old Collegians from St. David's who helped serve supper. Our next function was the mid-year Luncheon held this year at Kirrewur Court. This was a most successful luncheon in very pleas-

ant surroundings when approximately 120 Old Collegians and friends attended. Our thanks go to the guest speaker Pam Kemp (Lilburne) who gave us an interesting insight into her year of living in Japan. At the Luncheon we returned hospitality to representatives of Old Collegians Associations from other schools. Early in the year the Council called a meeting to discuss the publication of a newsletter worthy of the name "Morongo ". It was decided to have three publications a year, sent to parents and Old Collegians. These newsletters would consist of an editorial, reports, a page of Old Collegian news and achievements of past and present pupils. Our representative on this committee is Noele Cook and we thank her for the time she has given preparing our section of the newsletter. During the year the Committee asked Miss Brookshaw to compile a list of smaller items that could be purchased for the School. With money in hand, this year we have purchased a projector and screen, $200 worth of educational slides, a sewing machine, iron and spinning wheel for the art and craft departments.

Eathorne Pavia and members of Committee have visited the branches for Reunions and Annual Meetings and in most instances were accompanied by Miss Brookshaw and Jean Rentoul. We have also enjoyed the hospitality of other Old Collegians Associations. Eathorne and June McColl are our representatives to National Council of Women and we thank them for their continued reports of these meetings. We also thank those members who have represented us in the Sun Golf Cup and the School Swimming and Athletic Sports. The President would like me to thank all members of the Committee for their support during the year, Miss Shaw and Miss Brookshaw for their co-operation and interest in all our activities, Jean Rentoul for her asssitance and advice, Geoff Neilson for his work as Auditor and Mrs. Higginbotham from the Geelong Advertiser. As Eathorne completes her term of office, I would like to thank her on behalf of the Committee and all Old Collegians for the capable leadership she has shown during a very busy period for Morongo. Marlene Ryan, Hon. Secretary.

MELBOURNE BRANCH Annual Report, 1971 It is with pleasure we present the 1971 Annual Report of the Melbourne Branch of Old Collegians. Once again we have had a very happy year, with two major Reunions at the Victoria and a number of fifty cent morning coffee parties. We were very happy to welcome Miss Brookshaw to our Reunion in April, and were very sorry that illness prevented her from attending our September meeting. We were however able to welcome Office-Bearers of our parent Branch at both Reunions and we thank them for their continued interest. Our September meeting was particularly interesting, as four Old Collegians, Rosaleen Dalley (Price), Leila Ralton (Wallace), Cathy Maconachie and Barbara Brewster gave short talks on their work or hobbies, and we thank them very much. It is hard to always add variety to our meetings, but these talks created a great deal of interest. Various members have held coffee parties, since our last report. All of these gatherings have given members a chance to get together as well as provide additional funds. We sincerely thank the following hostesses, Barbara Creber, Lorna Hooper, Frances Stevens, Helen Dunlop, Elsie Bishop, Phyllis Orchard, Vivienne Orchard, Dorothy Hughes and Edith Hannan. There have been further offers of Coffee Parties for 1972 and we hope they will be as well supported. We extend our best wishes to the Geelong Branch and to our sister branches for 1972. Our Committee: President: Lorna Hooper (Ebbott). Treasurer: Min Thompson (Harding). Secretary: Joan Swain (Pope). Elsie Bishop (Gough), Sue Brown, Elaine Howden (Barber), Cathy Maconachie, Faye Lee (Pope), Phyllis Orchard (David) and we welcome our new Committee member Marieta Jones (Moir). Joan Swain, Hon. Secretary.

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BRANCH Annual Report, 1971 Although the South Australian branch is only small and at this stage seems likely to remain so, we are nevertheless a very keen group and only sorry we cannot take a more active part in the school and Old Collegian groups. Our bi-monthly meetings have been well attended and we held a very successful tennis day at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately we lost a very active member in Carol-Ann Harry (McEachern) who moved to live in the New Hebridies but we were pleased to welcome a new member Roslyn Islip (Wishart) from Bendigo. Baby News: Wendy Oakleigh (Hudson) and Legley Broadfoot (Grant) have both had sons, and Penny Javelin (Hedges) a daughter. We hope any Old Collegians moving to Adelaide or country areas of S.A. will be interested enough to contact us.

IN MEMORIAM It is with deep regret that we record the death of Margot Clarke (Lord). Margot was connected with the School over a long period, spending three years as a pupil, during which time she was outstanding in Sport, swimming being her special love. After leaving School she married Ken Clarke, and her daughter Adrienne spent all her school years at Morongo, also being an outstanding swimmer — now her two girls are in the School. Margot always retained her interest and until quite recently would judge the diving events at the School Swimming Sports. Our sympathy is extended to her family in their loss. We were shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Jean Purnell (McIntyre). Jean spent five years at the School and after leaving she married Dick Purnell. It was then that Jean took her place in the Community, taking her part in most of the Women's Organisations in her area. She was also intensely interested in the Auxiliary for the Blind, and was President at the time of her death. Our deep sympathy is extended to her family, and to Mrs. E. W. McCann, her sister. Her daughter Sandy is an Old Collegian. Mollie Kelso (Bromell) was also an Old Collegian having spent some years at Morongo, and it was with regret that we heard of her death. Mollie married Mac Kelso and at Coleraine took her place in the Womens' activities of that district. Our sympathy is extended to her family.

NEWS ITEMS Congratulations to Una Allender (McIntyre) on completing her Bachelor of Agricultural Science — Una had the honour of being. Melbourne University's 1000 graduate in this course. Joan Hair had a good year last year and topped her course at the Conservatorium, taking out the Bertha Jorgenson Scholarship — Joan was married during the year. Anne Clutterbuck was another student who was rewarded by winning one of two Australia wide Physiotherapy Scholarships — congratulations Anne. Phillipa Tarrant was awarded a Dental Scholarship which took her to Tasmania — she is very happy in her work and hopes to come back to the mainland this next year. Janine Martin who was with the Education Department has now joined the Staff at Tintern C.E.G.G.S. Suzanne Brown is this year doing her finals in a Psychology Honours Course at Melbourne. Rosemary Tucker has completed her B.A. with Honours in Geography. She is now doing a Pilot Course in Dip.Ed. with the Education Department at Monash. News of Barbara Wotherspoon who was teaching in the Tatura area — she is in England this year and hopes to return in 1972. Her sister Sandra, after a break of some years, is now back with the Education Department.

Joanna Pyper, after many years with the Health Department in British Columbia, has moved to Ontario. Her new address is Suite 5, 49 Gertrude Street, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. During her overseas trip Miss Shaw stayed with Nora Sutorius in Holland — Nora is always keen to contact any Morongo travellers and makes them very welcome. Miss Shaw, while in Scotland, also contacted Kitty Patterson (McLennan) — Kitty is another Old Girl who visits the School on her rare visits to Geelong. Heather Scott, who has been overseas for some time, is at present Librarian in the Medical Section of the Edinburgh Library. She is coming back to Geelong this next year. Margaret Scott is at the Melbourne University doing an Arts Course. Ellen Thom is also at Melbourne and she is busy with exams in her Physical Education Course. Robyn Campbell writes from Perth where she is living with her parents. Although she thinks Perth a lovely City she is missing her friends in Victoria. Robyn hopes to take up Mothercraft Nursing in 1972. The boarders of the School have been very interested to see Old Collegians taking parts in T.V. Gerda Szappainos (Nicholson) is still in Bell Bird while Margot Harper (Prowse) has made appearances in Matlock and Division 4. Old Collegians on the School Staff at the moment include Margaret Henderson, Edith Leigh, Gwen Blakiston, Jean Rentoul, Judy Heggie, Eileen Davies, Marie Kershaw, Marlene Miller, Hilary Smith, Beverley Egan and Shirley McNaughton. Elizabeth Fairweather (Davies) who has been living in England for some years, is plannng a trip home for Christmas — she has a baby daughter who will be welcomed by all her relatives who have not seen her yet. Three of our girls have been at Invergowrie during this year — Joanne Heard in her second year — Robin Herd, who is going on to Nursing in January, and Suzanne Cooke, who hopes to take up a clerical position in 1972. Robyn Doery, who was for part of the second term assisting at the School Pre School, has now begun a nursing career at the Alfred. Numbers of the Roslyn girls will remember Mollie Anthony (now Davies) — she is now Head of the Housekeeping at Claridges, Davey St., Mayfair, London, W.1. During the visit of the Queen and Prince Phillip, Mollie acted as Head Housekeeper to Emperor Haile Selassie, at his Palace in Addis Abbabba. News comes to hand of the Potter family — Erica has been in England and is at present in Switzerland. Rennie is in Melbourne, and Lesley, who had serious surgery on her back is again well enough to take an interest in swimming. Joycelyn Burt is an Old Collegian who is making a name for herself — Joycelyn spent nine years at Morongo.

As a free-lance photographer-writer she has already published two books — " Oven's Valley ", and recently " The Birdsville Track ". She appears to have travelled most of Australia, has been bogged down in sand dunes on the ' Track ', stranded for days in the rugged Carnavon National Park in Central Queensland, and was almost shipwrecked in Torres Straits. At one stage she walked 22 miles carrying her heavy equipment. Joycelyn is a double certificated nurse but photography had always been her first love and two years ago she became a full time photographer. At the moment Joycelyn is working on two more books — one on the Mornington Peninsular and the other on Melbourne, to be followed she hopes by another about the Torres Straits Islands.
