Editorial Have you ever wondered "Where do I go from here?" Once, for women, this question occured less frequently as . the decision was relatively simple. It was a man's world where a girl's dreams went no further than from the schoolroom to marriage. Now, though, with progress in full swing, it is considered essential for a girl to have more ambition, an aim higher than marriage. Marriage still remains as an alternative, or, for the more capable woman, as a bonus to a career. We women now feel the need for something more stimulating, so we enter the competitive world of political, social and economic struggles and can prove to the opposite sex our full potential as intelligent people. Women of the world are finally making a stand as our economy relies more and more on intellectual strength rather than physical and it is no longer necessary for women to be burdened by the process of reproduction. Not only is our raised standard due to a changed economy but also to equal education opportunities (a product of progress) which have become available over past decades. A prosperous career future is open to any girl with a good education and those of us fortunate enough to have had the education Morongo offers can march forward with eyes wide open.

Council Notes MEMBERSHIP Mr. Ian Knight from Werri bee was appointed to the Council early in the year, and the School has benefitted from his representation, as has the Werribee area. BUILDING Subject to funds being made available from grants and loans, it has been decided to upgrade boarding facilities in the Main House at a cost of approximately $130,000. This will make possible the accommodation of all boarders in this area, and release Shaw House to eventually become a Creative Activities Centre, for which the . Architects and Staff are preparing plans. LAND The proposed subdivision of an area of land to obtain capital to establish a Foundation Fund for the School, had been delayed until the School's legal position as regards Bank finance to cover development costs was clarified. This has now been done, and the project will proceed as soon as the demand for building allotments improves. FINANCE Continually rising costs in all areas challenge the Council to make every endeavor to reduce expenses where possible, without reducing the quality of the service given at the School. One area where a significant saving will be made is in the Laundry. All linen will now be sent out to a commercial laundry, and the Boarders required to attend to their personal laundry, using new domestic washing machines.

School Medical Officer: Dr. H. Millikan, M.B.B.S.

COMMUNITY The local community continues to make regular use of the McCann Sports Centre and Tennis Courts, and in appreciation, the Shire of Corio has offered to pay half the cost of resurfacing the courts. All students are encouraged to take an active part in community service, and the Council commend Miss Brookshaw for her encouragement, enthusiasm, and leadership in this field.

BEQUEST An amount of $2000 has been received from the Estate of Margaret Oddie — an Old Collegian from 1921 — 1925. This bequest will be used to commission a portrait of the Principal. PROMOTION A new prospectus has been printed, and the work of the Promotion Committee is being rewarded by the number of enquiries for enrolments. Miss Brookshaw, Mr. Robb, Mr. Knight 3

Holding the diplomas of A.T.C.L. L.T.C.L. A mus L and L Mus A, she taught piano and classes of musical appreciation until her marriage. In 1959 she rejoined the staff, teaching piano until her retirement in 1978. Over the years she obtained very good results in the A.M.E.B. examinations, and she is remembered with affection by her many pupils and colleagues. 5

School Captain's Report This has been a very busy year, and through everyone's involvement in school activities, it has been a happy one. All girls are encouraged to participate in the wide range of activities available to everyone. Sport, music, drama, creative arts and crafts are open to those who find these areas of interest to them. High standards of achievement can be seen at Morongo. Our school musical "Oliver", which was performed early in second term, was a tremendous success and we were able to live up to our good reputation of presenting excellent plays. The Council, has head constant involvement in school affairs this year, and this is helping to keep "Morongo ahead". this was evident when Amanda and I attended a combined prefects meeting with various officials from other private schools in Melbourne. We both decided that Morongo was really up with the times, and provided as many openings and opportunities for its girls, as many of the larger Melbourne schools. This year there has been a change in the format of our school assemblies. Both staff and students have had the opportunity to express their thoughts on some of the many facets of life. Mr Carr, instead of coming to our Hall assembly every Thursday, now visits each house separately on Tuesdays, as he prefers speaking to smaller groups. School Officials

An important part of the education we gain at Morongo is preparation for our future careers and involvement in the community. Weekly speakers have been arranged for all H.S.C. students and these cover a wide range of topics. Girls doing the Career Orientation Course spend two weeks at the end of each term in work experience. During this year Miss Brookshaw, Mr O'Neil, the Council and staff have been a constant source of encouragement and guidance, and I owe them many thanks. The prefects and my friends have also helped to lighten my load and to make my last year a very happy one. My six years at Morongo are ones I shall never forget. I, like so many others who are a part of this school, have spent many enriching moments in learning, making friends and enjoying the opportunities Morongo offers. Enjoy to the fullest the time you have left at Morongo, keep up the enthusiasm and school spirit which are very much a part of our reputation. Rosy Dennis

Boarding House Report

Catherine Dealey

YEAR 9 While the year 11 and 12 girls were getting into the swing of their mid-year Dance, the rest of the boarding house went up to Melbourne on a mystry bus tour. We were taken to the Pizza Hut where we enjoyed some real food. After we had digested our scrumptious pizza, we went to Footscray Iceland to try out talents at Ice Skating. After a few slips and slides and wet bottoms, we finally got the knack of it. After two happy hour we regretfully boarded the bus to go back to school. Outings like this have been organised a few times this year, which we are very grateful for. Boarding House life is a lot of fun for those who become actively involved in making the most of it. Everyone gets on remarkably well and we maintain that our existence in the school gives it that extra bit of school spirit which only people living in such a close environment can exhibit. Each year has written some thoughts on the life we Mighty Boarders lead during our time in the Boarding House.

YEAR 7 When we first came to Morongo as boarders, we weren't really shy. Yet we found it a bit hard to adapt to the changes we encountered at first — for example cutting our slice of bread into four instead of gorging it down in one mouth full. Being new meant learning everyone's names which was very difficult. But soon we managed it and settled down to the new environment which we all really enjoy.

YEAR 8 "Will someone answer the phone!!" It was threee o'clock in the morning when the phone started ringing. No one could answer it so it kept ringing. Groans and screams of "Please. answer it" rang from the extension, as sleeping bodies emerged into consciousness. We don't mind waking up by the bell at 7 o'clock every morning, but by a telephone ringing at 3 o'clock 276 times, is a bit much to expect! 10

YEAR 10 ALARM SHAW HOUSE 7.15 am Fire alarm sends forth its piercing, urgent call to the motionless boarding house. 7.16 am Audible moans, and bodies stiring restlessly in their rock hard beds. 7.17 am Loud yells curse the organizers of this wretched plot. 7.18 am Weak hands grope in the gloomy darkness to grasp dressing gowns, and fingers fumble to make a union between button and button hole 7.19 am Chaos reigns supreme as windows and doors slam shut (by order). ASSEMBLY HALL QUADRANGLE 7.20 am Chilled icicles appear from Main House with barely a stich on and angry mistresses screech. Hurry up! Hurry up! you'd all be burnt to a cinder by now!" 7.21 — 7.31 am Shaw House Residents slowly straggle into line, with late corners still emerging from the deep dungeons of their dormitories, frustrated and exhausted. 7.32 am All present and correct (nearly) 7.33 am A lecture on the importance of fire drills, and the charred remains (and iciles!) make their way back to bed. 7.34 am Mission Accomplished

YEAR 12

YEAR!! This year we saw the sad departure of Mr Moulden who had been a great friend and help, both on the athletic track and off. He devoted eight hard working years to Morongo and is now earning a much deserved rest. The 1979 year 11's have had an interesting year with our numbers doubling since last year. Our fresh boarders include two Asian students, who have opened up new horizons for all of us. We all indulged in a Pancake Parlour party, and with regret have had to start jogging to wear off excess calories. The year has been great for all of us, and we hope next year will prove just as fruitful.

Ten little Morongo girls Sitting in a line One got sick of sitting Then there were nine Nine learned students Were told to sit and wait One got sick of waiting Then there were eight Eight happy school girls With smiles fit for heaven One got sick of smiling Then there were seven Seven industrious females Learning many tricks One forgot her lessons Then there were six Six active students All looking alive One got slow and lazy Then there were five Five polite people Had learnt the school law One became naughty Then there were four

Mr. Moulden

Four helpful students Doing jobs for free One asked for money Then there were three Three busy scholars With lots of work to do One didn't finish hers Then there were two Two Pleasant People Having lots of fun One got sick of playing That left one We have all really had a fun year thanks to the great involvment and happiness which is very much a part of the boarding house. I would like to thank the boarding house committee, Amanda Dines, Jo McKenzie, Gill Richardson, Jean Waugh, Kaye Rollinson, Liz Chisholm, Serena Ramsay, Janet Brown and Sally Turnbull, together with the help of Mrs Jenkinson, Miss Cudd, Mrs Paget, Mr O'Neil and Miss Brookshaw and the cooperation of everyone. We have managed to have a very enjoyable year.

One wise Morongo girl Had beaten all the rest She was a boarder Boarders are the best

I hope that the Spirit of us Mighty Boarders is retained, and that you all enjoy your boarding school life as much as I have. Rosy Dennis 11

Library Report

Audio-Visual Report

The bell goes and another spare has begun, several H.S.C. students run swiftly (or meander slowly!) in the direction of the library, in the hope of gleaning a little knowledge from the library's vast selection of books.

We welcome Mr. Taylor, who took over from Mr. Hardy at the beginning of the year. Under his guidancce, the girls — Jean, Kaye, Denise and Rosemary — have shown dedication and responsibility in the everyday duties they have carried out, for example, copying audio-cassettes, recording radio and television programmes, making slides, setting up films, and generally assisting anyone in need of Audio-Visual equipment.

We have had approximately four hundred new books added to the already large selection available. This brings the number of books up to the grand total of eleven thousand. We are grateful to staff, old girls and friends of the school for their very generous book donations which range from books on skiing and gliding to 'Moscow and Leningrad Observed' which was kindly donated to the library by Miss Brookshaw. Industrious Morongo Students need no longer stare vacantly at empty library walls when problems beset them. This is not due to a sudden increase in Morongo students' intelligence but rather it can be credited to the addition of a set of very beautiful prints of local areas. They were painted and most generously donated to the library by Mrs Joan Bognuda (or Joan Ingpen as she was known during her years at Morongo) The prints were framed [thanks to the Old Collegians) and now provide pleasure for all those that use the Neilson library (including the vacant wall watchers). A sad moment came one morning in second term when we were forced to say good bye to an old friend, namely the old photostating machine, used by hundreds of Morongo girls over the years. However this is the age of computers and the Neilson library is now the possessor of an ultra modern, super efficient UBIX plain paper copier, which is proving a valuable asset to both staff and students alike. It prints on both sides of the paper (a fantastic development for hungry Morongo girls who can now spend their surplus ten cent piece at the tuckshop instead of feeding them into the photostating machine). As well as needing fewer sheets of paper the reproductions are also much clearer than the old ones. I am sure the UBIX will win a place in the hearts of the Morongo girls of the future.

Earlier in the year the department purchased a colour cassette video-recorder and a 63 cm colour monitor-receiver; being a cassette machine it is simpler for staff to use than the other reel-to-reel machine. Wire-less headphones were introduced to the typing room: These are headphones which all run from the one cassette recorder without any inter-connecting wires or leads. Even though the image of the A.V. members may come across as sitting around and talking all day and all night, many hours have been spent on the lob, such as assisting with the lighting for the production of 'Oliver', and many hours put in by the boarders taping television programmes in the evenings or at week-ends, and showing films to boarders at weekends. Hopefully by the beginning of third term we will have some Year 11 girls to learn 'the trade'. Next year they can then carry on with the work that the Year 12 Committee has trained them for. Our thanks go to Mr. Taylor for the support and guidance he has given to us throughout the year I personally would like to thank you, the A.V. members, for all the good work carried out and for helping me when I have needed it this year. Fiona Macvean.

The library committee would like to thank Mrs Davidson and Mrs Cauberg for their helpfulness throughout this year. The library committee are indebted to both for their guidance especially at the beginning of the year when we were unsure of library methods (I must admit there are still some of us who have not conquered the UBIX vet.) In closing I wish next years committee as enjoyable a year as we have had, and feel sure that the library's ever increasing selection of reference books will continue to aid all students in their future studies!! Jane Tovey 13

Canteen Report

Social Service

Once again the canteen has proved to be a very important aspect of Morongo's school life. People have continued to use the canteen from when icecreams were available in the hot summer months to when pies, pasties and sausage rolls (and of course the accompanying tomato sauce) were brought in in 2nd term.

Once again this year, Morongo girls have shown the generous side of their nature, by reaching deeply into their pockets and contributing to the many "athons", fetes and other fund raising events during the year.

Thanks go to fifth formers who have helped out at lunch and recess times with the minimum amount of fuss and/or complaining. Mrs Lewis, Mrs Parsons and Mrs Larcombe have all helped out at "rush" 'hour once again this year. But of course we cannot overlook the smiling faces of Gisella and the absent Maria. Without their hard work, patience and cheerfulness the canteen would be just a place to buy our food. Happy munching next year.

One of the first appeals to be held was the annual Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal. This once again was extremely successful and congratulations must go to Venters for raising the most money. Thanks must go also to the girls who shook the tins so well. A very special event in the Social Service calendar was the Red Cross Bikeathon. A valiant effort was made by our bike-riding headmistress who managed to pedal herself a trip to Queensland by raising the highest amount of money in Geelong. Congratulations and thanks also to all who worked so hard and raised a tremendous amount of money in this appeal.

Kathy and Kerry The last few weeks of second term saw the members of our younger forms with their heads buried in books. No, it was not a sudden study craze but the Multiple Sclerosis Readathon. Thanks to all those who supported this worthy cause. So, it has been a busy year in the Social Service world with so many fund raising events on, but Morongo students and staff have continued to support these and many charities have benefited. I would like to thank Miss Murray for her organization and support, and, of course, the spendthrift students. Sally Thom

The Bikeathon 14

I E1

Drama Report The production of 'Oliver' was the highlight of drama at Morongo this year. Rehearsals started almost immediately everyone returned to school to begin the new year. Nearly all the girls from the Senior Choir took part, either in principal parts or the chorus, and some girls from the Middle School Choir also took part. On the last weekend of the May holiday everyone came back to school for the final rehearsals - this enabled most day girls to get a taste of boarding life as well! The performances of 'Oliver' took place in the first week of second term, and the production proved to be very successful, both in drama and music. Then, after running for five nights, with a bit of shivering in the cold, and a lot of late nights, Oliver' was over! Congratulations go to all who performed so well both our own girls and the gentlemen from the 'outside world' who very kindly gave a great deal of their time to rehearse and play five of the male roles. Our thanks go to Mrs. Martin and our orchestra for the musical side, Mrs. Fox for assisting with the production, to the backstage and lighting staff, and the numerous people who helped with props, costumes, make-up, and in many other ways. Finally thanks must go to Mrs. Deller, for without her hard work there would not have been a production at all. During Drama lessons in second term, Years 7, 8 and 9 have been busily rehearsing f-or a Form Drama Day, which will take place early in third term. A whole day will be set aside as a Theatre Happening, which will give everyone a chance to 'tread the boards' and to admire one another's performances. I am sure that future productions will be as successful as past ones. Thanks again to Mrs. Deller who is always enthusiastic within Morongo's drama world. Good Luck next year, and make 1980 still better! Libby Paton.

Music Report Heavenly music, sweet to the ear, floats down on the wings of the breeze and lingers King's College Choir, Cambridge??? Well, not quite, but you're close — this is the sound of a typical Monday morning assembly at Morongo Girls' College!! Once again in 1979 Bell Post Hill has been alive with the sound of music. The start of the term saw the emergence of the usual rusty voices, but under Mrs Martin's expert handling the record number of girls in the various school choirs were able to sing in style at the Women's World Day of Prayer broadcast over 3GL and at the annual Geelong Music Festival. We have gained insight into the different fields of music this year with a visit by the boarders to the M.C.G. to see the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, a signt (and sound) we won't soon forget and a lunchtime visit to the Mill, Deacon's music and drama workshop. Here we heard three men playing contemporary music and even if the music was not everyone's ideal, their talent was certainly appreciated. Getting back to the classical music, a small group of enthusiastic girls attended the A.B.C. Concert series and were rewarded by the excellent performances on every occasion. We hope these concerts will continue in Geelong despite the depleting audience numbers, as it is a great chance to hear international musicians perform. This term music has been introduced into the boarders dining hall at tea time; we hope the staff will eventually broaden their cultural outlook and begin to appreciate the sounds of Bob Dylan! In April nine girls from the school orchestra headed off to Geelong Grammar to attend a two day music camp. The girls reached a very high standard of playing and fun was had by all. Undoubtedly the biggest musical event of the year has been the staging of the well known musical "Oliver" — a mammoth task for Mrs Deller and Mrs Martin to whom we are indebted for its great success. The cast of 72 sang and danced their way through 90 hours of rehearsals despite cold bouts and left feet and it was enjoyed by all involved.

Term II heralded the much dreaded House Music competitions. On the day talented artists were discovered in the shape of a 5th grade maestro and a group of negro spiritualists (we were expecting to hear the torn toms any moment!) and despite some slightly astrayconducting the afternoon was enjoyed by all. After the shield had been pulled from its cobwebbed hiding and polished to gleaming it was presented by the adjuicator Mr David Wade from Geelong grammar to the victorious house Ardens. They were followed by Roslyn, Lawson, Venters and Harris. In term II the Senior choir will be performing at the Independent Schools Concert and at the revered South Street Eistedfodd in Ballarat; the Middle School Choir has been entered for the Geelong Eistedfodd. We wish both choirs all the best for these performances. The Middle School Choir will be singing at the end of year Carol service and the end of year music concert, and we look forward to their performances. Finally I would like to thank sincerely Mrs Martin for her continuous support and help throughout the year and also Mrs Galloway for her expenenced leadership of the school orchestra. To all those remaining here next year I wish you the best of musical luck, and "so long, fare-thee-well, pip pip cheerio, I won't be back!!" Gillian Richardson

House Music Competitions

Ardens Report

Jennifer Salvalaggio... This year Term 1 proved to be a very busy term for all the Houses. It began with a BIG SPLASH as we dived into the Swimming Sports! The Ardens girls got down to some serious swimming and cheering; but alas we came 2nd to Lawson who proved to be too good! I would like to congratulate our Champions Leigh Blake, Marlene Rau, Georgina Richardson. From blue waters to green grass! Ardens ran hard, jumped long and high, and threw far. But only to come third in the Athletics. Once again I would like to congratulate our Champions, Leigh Blake, Belinda Prowse. A new competition was formed in first term — the Mascot Competition. This was fun as each House dressed their Mascot in any fashion. Our Mascot was a Cow — Boy. The money raised went to Charity. Term 2 began with Ardens coming 5th in the Stamp Competition. But we took this in our stride as we "Rejoiced and sang with the Good Christian Men" while we were "Feeding the Birds" and won the judge's heart, as we came in first place. I would like to thank Genevieve Martin, our Conductress, for her time and true dedication. And I would also like to thank Sally English our pianist (I'm sure Liberace would be proud of you) for all her time and patience. 22

Not only do Ardenians sing well, but they play Hockey and Netball too! During second term Wednesday afternoons were used by girls playing Inter-house Sport. This involved the whole House and I think helped the girls grow healthier in body and in spirit. I would like to thank the sixth formers and House staff for all their help, support and encouragement throughout the year. 1979 has been a great year and I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as I have. And to conclude I wish the Ardens House luck and success for the remainder of the year and for the future. KEEP SEEKING WISDOM Ardens supporters

Harris Report Well, Harris sure started 1979 off in fine style, winning the House Mascot competition when Bikie Bear stole the hearts of one and all. We certainly have kept up our fine style, but unfortunately our winning streak was rather short lived! In we all dived on a sunny day back in february and churned up the waters of the Norlane Pool. Although some of us may have made little headway for all our feverish churning, this doesn't apply to our swimming heroines. Red flags and teddy bears were seen being waved in the air, at the ends of which were the Harris cheerers — the most enthusiastic and spirited of all the houses. We gained fourth place and the Inter cup, so back we went to school, a little water logged, but very happy. Although the April day on which the aths were held was grey and drizzly, the Harris people were easy to be seen zipping about the oval and jumping all over the place in their usual lively manner. But despite our gallant efforts and 'busted boilers' we came a close fifth (Really we wanted to give Venters a break!) Congrats to our champions for their great efforts. Second term saw Harris turning her attention to the Music competitions with much gusto and deep breathing exercises, thinking: "This time we're really gonna show 'em!" Every girl made a mighty effort, and I want to especially thank our pianist, Kim for all her work. But as they say: "Someone has to come last", and the judge decided it was to be us. Meanwhile, however, we gained third place in the stamp competition with 34,000 stamps. Thanks, Michelle, for all your careful counting.

Inter-house sport has been lots of fun, and the Harris hockey teams have really given the other houses some hurry-up! Baseball, badminton, tennis, volleyball, hockey, netball and table tennis have been played during the year on Wednesday afternoons. Lots of thank-you's go to the house staff members and the sixth form committee especially Denis for their help, support and patience. Thanks, too, go to Venters, Roslyn, Lawson and Ardens for your competition, and to the Misses Briggs and Boyd for your organization of house sport. But most of all, thanks to the kids, little and big who make up the happiest, most spirited bestest house in the school for being what you are. Keep it up, Harris — good luck for next year & keep smiling. Love Lisa

P.S. "Not failure but low aim is crime — well, at least they can't call us criminals!

Lawson Report "To strive, to seek, to find and not to Yield." Throughout the year Lawson girls have done their best to uphold this motto. Firstly, we strove to seek the swimming shield once again, and of course succeeded, making it the fifth time in a row, thanks to everyone — the competitors and the extremely vocal supporters. The enthusiasm of all was not let die as we sought the Athletics shield. Once again, Lawson proved to be the superior house on the track and on the field. Congratulations go to all those who gained championships. While the swimmers and the athletes trained hard others shared their skills at stamp collecting and their generosity by contributing to the Good Friday Appeal. With an outstanding number of 59,182 stamps, Lawson won the stamp competition, receiving a magnificent 20,000 in the last day after a scare of being defeated by other houses. In the Good Friday Appeal we improved on previous years to gain second place to a very generous Venters.

Unfortunately Lawson lost the mascot competition in spite of the valiant efforts of Oscar, but he was unable to compete against the sartorial elegance of his fellow mascots. From the beginning of second term, girls were hard at work training their voices for the Music competitions and managed like Good Christian Men to rejoice and smile while Singing in the Rain. Thanks to the effort, time and guidance of Sally Turnbull, Cathy Maclean and Tracy Scott. Lawson gained a very close fourth place. Enthusiasm has been shown throughout the whole house, especially on Wednesday afternoons during inter-house sport. While every match was not successful this was in no way due to the lack of effort or support from all girls and staff. Thanks to the co-operation and house-spirit of everyone, both staff and girls, Lawson has proved to be a house of many talents and I hope that in future years Lawson will continue to be a dominant part of school life.

Roslyn Report

Complete with a re-vamped Rossie and his new friend Emma, Roslyn plunged into the year with a brilliant effort at Norlane, and came home with 3rd place, 2 champions, 2 runners up, the SubJunior Trophy, sore muscles (belonging to those who plunged literally) and sore throats all round. The next week, our throats and muscles well on the mend, we all attacked the aths heats with vigour and, after six weeks of unremitting training, we were ready for the biq day. It dawned, wet and drizzly and black clouds gathered ominously over head but, for almost the first time on record, the sports were not cancelled and the Roslyn ostriches, although blue (light blue of course) wth the cold came an impressive 2nd. We also won the Junior Trophy and boasted of two (slightly damp) champions and one (even damper) runner up.

The Good Friday Appeal, I'm afraid, found us with our pockets light after a near win in the new 'House Mascot Competition', and this time the other houses got the better of us. Our fan mail also, isn't what it should be in view of our general popularity, and the stamp competition left us in fourth place. Although this year hasn't been one of great victories Roslyn house spirit is more boundless than ever. The teachers have been great, the committee wonderful and the rest of the house fabulous. Keep it up next year. Amanda Dines

The big sporting events of the year over, we were able to throw ourselves whole heartedly into house sport on Wednesday afternoons, playing tennis, baseball, table tennis and badminton in our own particular style and managing to win some, and lose some; second term brought hockey, netball, volleyball and badminton to interhouse sport and we showed a prowess similar to first term. Music competition practices started early in second term and, undaunted by the all too frequent losses of the Senior hockey team, we practised twice a week until we knew the songs back to front. The day of the music competitions came with Roslyn in clean shoes and fine tuner unfortunately, although we knew our songs back to front we couldn't manage them the right way round but we took our mistakes in our stride, under the skilful guidance of Debbie and Gill and gained second place in spite of them.

Venters Report We all came back from the holidays to jump straight into the pool for the swimming heats and the swimming sports, which were held at the Norlane Pool. Despite Venters' enthusiasm and effort, we once again allowed Lawson to take away the silver cup, leaving us with the wooden spoon. The Athletic Sports were next in line. Even though the day began dark and rain dampened the tracks, it did not dampen the spirits of our girls. Girls put on a great performance for parents who came from both near and far. It was also great to see many boardersiparents. Once again Lawson took away the silver cup, but Venters were not left the wooden spoon — a 4th placing — congratulations Lawson. Once again Venters were very generous with their large donation to the Royal Childrens' Hospital Appeal.

While some were busy with sport others got to collecting stamps for social service.Venters was once again 2nd to what seemed an unbeatable Lawson (in stamps, that is). Despite coughs and colds and sniffles of 2nd term Girls once again attended many hours choir practices preparing for the house music competitions, which led us into receiving 3rd place. Our thanks to Cendrine Baxter and Kristian Galloway who directed us and to Janet Brown and Belinda McDonald for banging the ivories. We also won some winning positions in house sport matches — Tennis, Baseball, Volleyball, Netball, Hockey and Table Tennis. Finally I would like to thank everybody for their help, co-operation and support as without that there is no Venters House. Don't forget "No Victory without Effort".

Special thanks goes to the Sports Committee and girls for their co-operation, support and unfailing efforts to make 1979 at Morongo such a happy and successful year. No report would be complete without extending to Miss Briggs and Miss Boyd, our very able sports mistresses, a very big thank-you for the help, organisation and enthusiasm they have provided throughout the year. To team members leaving this year, good luck on the spurting fields elsewhere, and to those returning, compete with the true spirit of sportsmanship, value friendships made on the sporting fields and always be proud to be a representative of your school. Good luck .for the future years, Tammy Dawson

Swimming Report The Morongo Swimming Team proved without doubt that throughout 1979 it was the superior team in Victorian School Swimming. The results achieved were obtained by an enthusiastic and loyal team of girls who gave of their best at all times to keep "Morongo on Top". On Wednesday 21 st February, the House Swim ming Sports were conducted at the Norlane Pool. A large number of parents, friends and Old Collegians witnessed an excellent morning of swimming in beautiful sunshine. Lawson were once again victorious, closely followed by Ardens, Roslyn, Harris and Venters. I extend my congratulations to the winners of the various age sections. At Kardinia Pool on March 10th, the Geelong All Schools Carnival was once again dominated by our talented band of swimmers. For the fifth consecutive year we retained the Batten Shield. A magnificent achievement and one of which the school can be very proud. On March 21st Geelong Grammar School held its Annual Invitation Meet where teams from Geelong College, Morongo, Sacred Heart, Geelong Grammar and Norlane High School competed. Morongo again showed its strength by defeating its nearest rival, Geelong College, by seventy-two points.

A confident team of girls journeyed to Olympic Pool, Melbourne on March 24th for the Public Girls Schools Competition. What an exciting morning this proved to be! The poolside area throughout the morning echoed with the enthusiastic vocal support from our cheer squad who encouraged each swimmer to succeed, and succeed we did by a margin of twenty-three points from Toorak, P.L.C., M.C.E.G.G.S, G.G.S and P.L.C. Our divers also gave great performances at this Carnival and their tally of points was most appreciated when the final results were announced. The Olympic Pool, Melbourne was the venue for the Victorian All schools Relays on March 31st. A total of thirty-seven schools throughout Victoria competed. Heats were conducted in the morning and the finals at night. Our very small team of eleven swimmers showed their class to forge ahead throughout the evening to defeat Fintona, second, and Tintern, third, to win for the fourth time the Dame Mable Brookes Trophy. To every girl who swam for Morongo throughout 1979 this achievement was a fitting finale to a wonderful and successful season. I would like to express our thanks to Miss Briggs and Miss Boyd for their coaching and encouragement throughout the many carnivals. Appreciation to Miss Brookshaw and members of Staff for the interest and support they have shown in the Swimming Team. As Captain of such a wonderful and talented team of young swimmers I feel very proud to have been associated with you all and express to you my grateful thanks for the co-operation you have so willingly given to me throughout 1979. On closing this report I wish the 1980 Morongo Swimming Team, Good Luck and continued success.

Baseball Report This year the baseball teams swung into action in first term with great enthusiasm and were often seen by envious onlookers practising their skills on the top oval. Under the expert guidance of coach Miss Boyd and co-coach Mr. "Crab" Seaton, all the teams reached star standard for the season's highlights — the Round Robins. The senior teams playing at Toorak College, faced the dreaded "fast pitchers" and came out relatively unscathed. the A's in 3rd position and the B's in 4th position. The Junior teams played their Round Robin at Geelong Grammar, the A's gaining 5th position and the B's 3rd placing. Finally the Sub Junior teams played at P.L.C. and both teams after a valiant effort gained 5th placing.

The climax of first term came in the shape of a clash between the heroic "Super Students", dressed in their bat gear, and the far from professional team of staff baseballer. Need I say the "S.S" had an easy victory, despite cheating by the would-be staff baseballers (or is it has-been??!) Finally as we leave to seek a better baseball diamond over yonder horizon, we wish next year's teams the best of sporting luck. Gillian Richardson

Hockey Report Hockey boots were dragged from dusty cupboards, sticks were plunged into linseed oil, eager players found forgotten rule books and Morongo rang again with the clash of hockey sticks; old and new alike. The 1979 hockey season had begun! Three teams participated in the Geelong Association. The determined "A" reserves are well on their way to the finals. The "B" grade are enjoying themselves tremendously and often playing well too! Last but definitely not least, are the under 14's who weild hockey sticks with great purpose and have rarely been beaten this year, they look like being in the finals too. The Morongo school teams, ranging from under 13's to senior A, have enjoyed a season of great hockey, encouraged and supported by our universal coach Miss Boyd. All teams performed well at their Round Robins and achieved a high standard of success. This year Morongo has had a great hockey season. The standard of play, sportsmanship and keen participation reached by all teams has been very commendable. The enthusiasm of both Miss Boyd and team members has made this season a memorable one. All players up and down the ranks are congratulated on their team-spirit and determination. May we see it again next year. Congrats! Chris Rollinson

Netball Report The coming of second term means the starting of the netball season. The number of enthusiastic netballers has increased this year to allow for four teams to be entered in the Y.W.C.A. netball competition with all teams reaching a high standard. The teams in the competition are in the grades A1, B, B2 and D. Some premierships should be the result of weeks of games and training. This year all teams have completed against the various Geelong schools and have been on the whole successful. But as usual we have not been able to beat Geelong College — maybe next year will be Morongo's year. The Senior and under 13 Round Robin was held at P.L.C. this year. Both days were successful with everyone enjoying their day of sport. Morongo this year was honoured with being the host school of the under 15 Round Robin; this was run smoothly without too many losses.

Again this year Morongo has fielded teams in the Victorian School Girl Championships at Royal Park. At the time of writing this report the games have not been played but I am sure there will be a lot of fun that nignt and sore muscles the next day. On behalf of all the netball teams I would like to thank Miss Briggs for giving up her time in trying to improve our netball skills and team work, it has been greatly appreciated. Good luck, netballers, in 1980 and I hope the standard of netball is continued. Kaye Rollinson (Captain)

Tennis Report The 1979 season proved to be quite successful with old "stars" returning and a lot of new "budding pros" emerging. In all we managed a senior"A" and "B", an U15 and U13, and surplus emergencies for all teams. During the term we all had a chance to play in a Round Robin at a Melbourne school which meant an early start for all. The U1 3's were at P.L.C., the U1 5's at G.G.S., and seniors at Toorak College. I am sure these Round Robins were enjoyed by all, the girls tried hard and received pleasing results overall. A lunch time match was held between staff and girls where the girls were narrowly defeated by the staff. The reason they were defeated was the restrictivness of their most unusual tennis attire. During the term matches were played against Geelong College, Geelong grammar, Clonard and Sacred Heart. In many of these matches we proved to be too strong for the opposition, with our first pair from the Ul 3's, U1 5s and senior A losing very few sets for the year. Finally thanks must go to Miss Briggs for her continual coaching and support throughout the season. Denise Osborne (Capt).

Basketball Report

Once again Morongo entered two basketball teams in the under twenty women's competition, played at the Tryboys Stadium. The two teams, Cossacks and Hustlers, consisted of fifth and sixth formers, some of whom were only beginners. The competition is held on Tuesday nights, when we compete against other school teams. Although neither of our teams managed to make the finals, it has been an enjoyable season for all. Hopefully next year we may be able to achieve a higher position on the ladder. Best of Luck! Denise and Jean.

Rowing Report This season Morongo rowers have been very successful. They have competed in many regattas all over Victoria: for example Melbourne, Ballarat and VVarnambool. The first crew of Libby Paton, Michele Henry, Andrea Francis, Tracy Hargraves and cox Katy Layton won seventeen races between them in ladies fours and pairs. Their most outstanding achievements were the Victorian Ladies Youth Four and Senior B Four Championships. This crew along with a second crew comprising Dianne Bell, Debbie Greig, Sharon Wood and Jenny Hayden, represented Morongo in the Junior Head of the River held in Melbourne on the 31st of March.

Both crews made the finals of their respective divisons in which they both finished second. On April 25th, four girls from the first crew took part in the Australian Ladies Youth Four Championship held in Adelaide. It was a great effort by them to make their final and finish third place. Our thanks must go to the Corio Bay Ladies Rowing Club and our coaches Robbie Allan, Richard Bartlett and Bob Morrell for putting up with us! Thanks also go to Miss Brookshaw, staff and girls who eagerly supported us over the past season. I hope this enthusiasm and success will encourage our future Morongo rowers. Tracy Hargreaves

Students v Teachers Throughout the year, the more energetic of both teachers and students clashed in heated competition. The first of these matches was held early in second term with the battle taking place on the tennis courts. The students dressed in their usual inimitable style, pyjamas and stripey socks; the teachers appeared in an assortment of sporty clothing. Later that month the baseball field was the focus of attention when a group of highly skilled super-students matched themselves against a team of equally skilled teachers. There was a lull in the activities until late second term when badminton and table tennis gave the teachers a chance to show their unscholarly talents and showed the students to be more than just pretty faces (although being dressed as Norm from "Life Be in It" tends not to enhance the appearance). The outcome of these matches was never made public and was the source of many disputes between teams. However, it was all in fun and helped the students and teachers to see eye to eye. After all, it is not whether you win or lose but how well you can convince everyone. Janne Fowler

The Bear Hunt One day when I was eight years old, I went out into the forest. I had a play in the snow, I heard a growling noise. It was coming from the trees. I was scared and frightened with fear. I looked behind the trees and I saw a cave, I went in, I heard a lot of noise, I went closer and closer. I saw fifty-five bears having a party. They looked nice and furry. They had furry eyes as well. I went through the snow and home. I told Dad and he came with me to the cave and saw the bears. We made friends with the bears. Mother bear had a baby bear. She let us keep the baby bear so it would not get hurt. It was a female bear. Another mother had four babies and we looked after them. All the bears had babies. The baby bears grew up they lived happily ever after.

An Adventure Under the Sea Once upon a time I saw a mermaid, she led me to the King of the sea. His name was King Neptune. The mermaid had white hair, she had a pretty red dress on. The nice girl took me under the sea. I saw all the coral, I saw fish and shells. The sea is very very beautiful. Then I was taken back to King Neptune. I was sad. I wanted to go back to where all the coral, fish and shells were. I stayed under the sea for a long time. King Neptune had brown hair. He had a shining silver coat, his trousers and shirt were too. I enjoyed dinner, breakfast and lunch. I slept in a beautiful bed. It had gold sheets and blankets. Bronwyn Sutherland 8 years Year 3 One day I saw a boat. So I got in the boat and it took me for a ride. Then a big storm came and it made the boat go down. I met my mummy and daddy who had gone down six years ago in a big ship. I was happy to see them. We took a walk around the bottom of the sea and met King Neptune. He took us to his castle. He gave us fish for our lunch. His helpers were sea horses and his bed was a shell. His castle was made of sand. Linda] Beaumont 8 years Grade 3 44

Junior Auxiliary Our first Meeting for the year, held in February, was very well attended and we were joined by Mrs. Kershaw and Mrs. Fox, who brought us up to date on Junior School news. Our Biscuit Stall at the School Fete was once again very popular and well supported. At our March Meeting Mrs. Tetaz gave an interesting and informative talk on the music programme in the Junior School. In April we met with the Parents and Friends at a Social Evening, and in June we were the guests of the Afternoon Auxiliary. The Film Luncheon in July was very successful and the film "Goodbye Girl" enjoyed by all. A Progressive Luncheon was held in August at the homes of Alison Lawson and Marlene Jeffs, and was voted a great success by those who attended. At our September Meeting the Afternoon Auxiliary were our guests and Dr. Lyall from the Heart Foundation gave an extremely useful talk and demonstration entitled "Save a Life". At out Annual General Meeting in October, Mrs. M6rie Kuchenmeister was appointed as our new President. The Junior Auxiliary purchased a guillotine for the Junior School this year, and also made a contribution towards the S.R.A. Reading Scheme. We would like to thank Miss Brookshaw, Mrs. Kershaw and all the Junior School staff for their help and co-operation during the year, and would like to give special thanks to Mrs. Smith for making baby sitting facilities available for our Auxiliary Meetings.

Junior School The exterior of Junior School may seem to be the same but once inside significant and constructive changes in curriculum and class organisation soon become apparent. February 1979 saw the introduction of multi-age groupings to the Prep, year 1 and year 2 classes. This will follow through to years 3 and 4 in 1980. Boys were included in the Prep year as was done several years ago; and we anticipate the inclusion of several boys in 1980, at this level only. The new curriculum includes the new Semmel Auditory Processing Programme, Rosner Perceptual Skills, Frostig Movement Educational Activities, and the Macmillan Series R Reading Scheme. Workshops were held to give parents the opportunity of understanding and experiencing the new schemes in operation. Miss N. Cure and Mrs A. England left Junior School in Third Term 1978. We wish them well. Mrs H. Tetaz joined the staff this year and provides musical experience for all children from Nursery to Grade 4. The help given by Miss De Rio, a Deakin University student, who is completing her studies in Education, has been appreciated by Staff and children alike. We also appreciate the assistance and time freely given by one of our senior school students, Cassie Howard. Cassie is a former member of the Junior School. Our helpers are too many to name individually, but I cannot let this opportunity pass without thanking the Junior Auxiliary and many fathers for their generous help throughout the year. In Term one the student report system was changed to include Parent — Teacher interviews as well as written reports. Interviews were held in Term Two and in Term Three parents will receive a written report. As well as these formal types of communication parents are welcome to visit the classroom at any time. They will see their children at work and be able to discuss their progress with the class teacher. Nursery and Kindergarten Mothers visit the Preschool at least once a term to observe their children's progress. The Fathers' nights in this are always popular and the introduction of a Grandparents day proved most successful. At the Annual Fete, Junior School introduced a Hat Parade. Some of the creations will inspire us to improve upon the idea another year. Excursions are always an important part of school life. The multi-age levels visited Mr and Mrs J. Fox's farm and saw hens, sheep, cows and calves and enjoyed the barbeque that followed. They also visited the Geelong Library, The Geelong Post Office, and Art Gallery as a conclusion to discussions on Life in a City. Years three and four saw the film Heidi, early in the year and year four attended a Symphony Concert by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. 46

Years three and four have taken pottery and cooking activities in block units this year. This would not have been possible without the cooperation of Mrs Kuchenmeister, Mrs Pateman and Mrs Clarke. Many students have availed themselves of the opportunity to do extra subjects. Mr Peter Dickinson has two groups for Ballet. Miss D. Butler and Mrs P. Spratt give piano lessons weekly. Mrs Wendy Galloway has fourteen violin students. Other girls take Cello, Organ and flute lessons. Visitors to the Nursery and Kindergarten continue to be amazed at the activities, whether finger painting time or the making of vegetable soup. These young groups enjoy the experience of excursions too. They have been to see a baby having its morning bath and a koala in a nearby gum tree. Both the staff and children appreciate the improvement to the sand-pit, the new smocks, bedspreads and dolls clothes made possible by the parents. 1979 has been an exceptional year for visitors becoming involved in our programme. Seniors girls working towards Duke of Edinburgh Award have undertaken voluntary service.by assisting in playground supervision daily. Mrs M. Rawlings took several craft sessions with years three and four. The staff of Professor Wallace from Deakin University have carried out a testing programme on the young child over several months — many of us have been curious about the caravan parked in our grounds. Our Social Service efforts have continued to raise money for World Vision, The Royal Children's Hospital and the Year of the Child. It is a shame we cannot support all those who approach us All staff from Pre-school to year 4 have attended many and varied workshops and lectures to help us keep abreast of all current ideas. Thank you to all the staff who provide a caring environment for your child and support us in the organization of Morongo Junior School. M. Kershaw

ORIGINAL

A Garden The garden was absolutely bursting with life. Ivy raced along the old brick wall and "Running Postman" scurried busily along the winding path. Carnations pushed their prickly way through the undergrowth and masses of daisies, dahlias, asters and marigolds vied for a place under the tall, foreboding tree. The Cypress hedges in the background swished their huge, featherlike branches impatiently and small forget-me-nots, as blue as the sky after a thunderstorn grew placidly amongst the harum scarum of the weeds. Hibiscuses with their exotic blooms glanced superciliously at their "inferiors" and passionfruit vines strutted importantly along a decrepit old lattice.

Leaves It's a windy day and leaves are everywhere on the ground and in the air leaves go swirling around and around in the wind going going gone. Suddenly the wind dies down All the leaves in the air fall down down down the breeze starts up again and the leaves fly out of sight. All but one which can still be seen, It floats and floats along the air currents Until all of a sudden the wind starts up and away rushes my leaf, twirling round and round and round Sabene Honig Year 9

Silence Silence is the most distinct sound Ever heard What it sounds like Is up to the listener. It is the most difficult Sound to make And the easiest sound To diminish It punctuates music, Enlivens prose — And is essential To poetry.. .

Beyond? We wake We cry We live and we die We laugh We sing Then the Bells ring At the end of our time; They're hollow. Then, at the end Life melts into nothing We can no more What we did before They're little, The things we do when we live, Yet we're known when we're dead for the great things we said, which were small. Finally, lying beside me, My enemy in dust Silence will whisper that "It wasn't important anyway", As breaks, another day Waking moments of an HSC Student.

A Week The first day, All is calm in the oasis, A splashing of toes in the cool, fresh water, Playing harmonies with rustling leaves Darkness gently caresses the scene, The second day Light explodes Hurtling back, Away from pleasant dreams; Drugged by the shock, Surrounded by sand, With sanctuary so far away — Begin the journey. Trudging on in stunned stupor With the sun beating down. The third day Breaking spirits with dismal reality. Sand as far as the world's end, And the sun beating down, sucking energy. The fourth day Rejoice! The sky is turning blue from yellow, With the distant view of paradise Stepping faster towards the oasis, Crazed by renewed hopes. The fifth day Growing larger every step, Beckoning with visual reward. Keep up a steady pace, Oblivious to the harrassing sun, At ease and cheerful. The sixth day. The blue of the heavens, A cool, wet, sweet smell, And the closeness of refuge, beckon. Ecstatic and drooling with thirst, Run groping to the water. The seventh day. Leap through the green and blue day. The water sparkles,reflecting joy, And hands grasp it greedily, Insanely splashing and scooping. The first day returns. Relief settles with the water; A tranquility spreads, creeping into limbs, And causing drowsiness. Softly a breeze caresses the trees. The second day Light explodes. Hurtling back, Back to begin the week again. Back in an endless cycle. L. Tomlinson Year 10

A Lull in the Action Boots wet and rotting, The feet unfeeling now, The body stiff, motionless, waiting Always waiting, The hands numb What of the mind? A vague confusion, even bitterness lingers there. A smile passes between men — the silent bond of friendship Both know the hardship The silence is intolerable, That deafening silence that chills mens' souls. Broken only by the sound of distant gunfire — Or the dripping of water down the trench wall — Forming muddy puddles at his feet. Whilst he sits, watching, waiting. Always waiting. Suddenly, voices, action — the waiting bursts into a hive of activity The command is given Confusion They leave the tomb and scramble through the barbed wire. Smoke! Fear! Panic! — then silence, that inevitable silence. He crawls back through the barbed wire He is safe — why? — how? His friend — was there this morning — gone now! A dull acceptance fills the waiting soldier Nothing breaks the silence How will it all end? Jane Tovev The waiting begins again. . . . 125 51

Guest Rooms

Search Shafts of light filtered through the gaps in the sandy walls. They would see me soon, their brilliant yellow flash light would eventually find its way through the darkness of the night, and onto my small hidden figure huddled in the corner. I crept back further into the wall with this thought in mind, and a sharp jagged rock penetrated deep into my ribs, making me feel weak with pain. I closed my eyes, exhausted, and listened to the noises drawing painfully nearer, and the sea roaring into shore and crashing violently on the walls of the cave. I suddenly felt surrounded and defeated for there was nowhere I could run to for protection, as they knew. I was concealed within the walls of the cave somewhere, and there was no hope of my escaping. I dared not to move a muscle for fear of making an obvious noise, and hastening my being captured; even my own heart beat seemed to echo around the cave, and it sounded like thunder booming around the sky. A pebble came loose and cascaded down the edge of the slippery rock on which I was hiding; their footsteps ceased, and they listened, my heart almost leapt out of my mouth, they moved again, the footsteps coming nearer and nearer — again I crept back into the wall, hoping for some kind of protection or security, and my back was pierced with the rock edge. My throbbing head turned toward the approaching light and I waited painfully and uselessly — until the flashing light hit my face and blinded me with its brilliant shine. Belinda Prowse 10 B

Autumn

A Windy Night

Autumn is when the leaves come falling down, Tumbling, tumbling to the ground. Knock, knock, knock come out and play, It's such a lovely autumn day. Throw the leaves up so high, So high they'll nearly touch the sky People make bonfires with the leaves, The smoke soars so high it goes past the eaves I'm tucked up in bed as warm as warm, Suddenly there comes the crashing of the storm. The bonfire burnsout, A tree falls to the ground, People walking in the streets homeward bound.

With a swish and a swirl, A cry and a burl, The wind rushes around the town. Ripping up trees, Blowing through eaves, Rushing up and down. The houses close up warm and tight, As the storm rages on, Through the open night. But in the morning you can hear, People rushing everywhere, Cleaning up the stormy mess, That the end, they hope, they guess.

Masks' His mask of make up gave the illusion of happiness, but failed to hide his broken heart, Resentment showed in his dark brown eyes, brought about by the ability to make others laugh, with the exception of himself. The huge smile painted on his face seemed to mock the dismal droop of his actual mouth, and the worried lines on his forehear added to the comical effect, which in turn, resulted in childrens' pleasure.

The Fall Slippery, shiny, cold as ice, Crouching, watching the feeling's nice. Small, dark crevice, shining bright, Sudden, reflected stream of light. Rough, bumpy texture on the above, Smooth gold surface, shimmering like a dove Light of old gold crystal clear, Movement limited, for my fear.

The Facade

One false move, will set me flying, Slipping, skidding, falling, diving. Into darkness, deepness, incompleteness, falling, tumbling, sudden blindness.

There are masks from which we hide behind the facade which stands infront, but someone else lurks behind a someone for whom we hunt.

Brillant colours, from paintings of old, shimmering silvers, glistening golds. Rembrandts and da Vinci's, paintings sold, but not the piece by Nature-cold.

The character which is displayed Is not that of our own, for that is someone else to see, not us, we are not shown Underneath there is someone else, waiting to be discovered, for shame or pride or unknown sadness are hidden beneath a cover. Must they always be like this, and hide who they really are? If we all help and encourage them, we'll reveal what they really are by Kathy Egan. Year 10 54

The Bell Very early in the 19th century, When white man came to stay, He rang the Morongo bell, To send the aborigines away. To their ears it sounded strange So away they fled in fear, The settlers then to their flocks returned Without strangers to interfere, Katy Taylor 10 years

They tell me I'm a dreamer They tell me I'm too young They shake their heads and say "She'll learn, she'll learn" They say that my naivety Will be outgrown in time Then all my dreams will take a sour turn. "Your head's up in the clouds" they say, "Idealistic whims Can't form the basis of a firm career Don't you want security? A bank account? A job? Don't you want a house of brick veneer?" Well, maybe I'm a dreamer I suppose they could be right I'm riding high, I guess I'll have to fall But even if I lose the game I know I'm better off Than those who've never dreamed a dream at all Lisa West 12H

Water Torture They could never get me With Chinese water torture My mind would sing a million different songs to the rhythm of the drops The lives I've lived What was What could have been Words, fantasies endless patterns growing, interlocking changing A thousand colours, shadows like leaves, seperate, yet one. Questions, answers reasons, beliefs Too full of waves, landscapes, abstracts, feelings to worry about dripping water.

"The Chain Smoker knows it all" "What do I think of marijuana need you ask? It is an atrocious waste of time and money, a filthy habit, a threat to a decent community." (lights another cigarette) "Imagine the money which must go into drugs every year; such a waste of money which could be going towards some worthwhile cause". (spitting out smoke with every word) "Drug taking is such a disgusting habit. I don't know how people can use the filthy stuff. What can it do for you, nothing of any value, a temporary high maybe, but nothing in the long run. Surely anyone could see that it is a pointless waste of time." (my eyes begin to water from the grey haze which hangs in the air) "Don't all these people who smoke marijuana realise what they are doing to themselves? It's pointed out to them often enough. I mean it would be simple enough for them to stop; don't five me any of this rubbish about addiction, anyone can stop anything, any time, all thats needed is a bit of will power." (another packet finished.) "me, stop smoking, why?"

Why do I stand before this class? Why ever don't I go? I think they're dead, or fast asleep; I bet they'd never know! They'll wake up when the next bell rings, The sleep will do them good; They never listen, anyway — Just sit like suet pud. Nlv wisdom's wasted on them quite Like pearls before the swine. Just look at them! They don't deserve A brilliant brain like mine.

For them the H.S.C. takes second Place to Boys and Sport. They don't put Shoulders to the Wheel Nor Sweat Blood as they ought.

So though there's half an hour left, And nothing else to say, And though I'd love to go on home, I guess I'd better stay.

We sit here We're totally bored But we don't do anything We stay. We're not listening No one's listening But still she keeps on And we stay. She's not looking at us We're not looking at her She's not teaching us We're not learning anything It's useless We should leave But we stay.

An Old Tramp

Marathon Runner

It was a cold dark night in the middle of December, when an old bedraggled tramp came walking down one of the filthiest streets in the dirtiest part of London. He was looking for food in the garbage cans along the way, but not a crust did he find. He was old and wrinkled and had grey hair and a crooked nose and he stood about five feet high. His eyes were a dull grey but they still had a twinkle in them. He had with him his little brown Yorkshire Terrier, his only friend in the world. He was unshaven and what was left of his hair had been uncombed for several weeks. He was scantily clothed and his bare feet were nearly frozen with the ice on the cobblestones. Many times he had been turned away when he went begging for food at people's doorsteps. He loved no one, and no one loved him.

I can't go much further, I must — I must try, My legs, they are aching, My mouth feels so dry. I know I can make it, But where is my strength? My feet are too blistered, I can't make this length My last surge of effort, It gets me no-where I can't give up now, This pain I must bear. My head spins with confusion, My back stings from the sun I've got to — must finish This impossible run

The Witches' Potion Hair of spider, foot of frog; squeal of mouse, nose of hog. In the boiling cauldron goes, hot blood of whale and centipede's toes. The witches' cackle the room fills; the black cat's back is hunched, for it feels the nerve-racking chills. Chants and Spells and different lotions. Go into the bubbling potion. Our brew is nearly ready now, With a scale of lizard and eye of sow. But still that has not done the trick; shall we put in a vein of a tick? Watch it boil, boil and bubble, In there lies the source of trouble. Chants and Spells and different potions. Go into the boiling cauldron. The witches three, drank the slimy soup, as their excited cat jumped through the silver hoop Again the witches' cackle filled the room; they disappeared with a terrible boom. Chants and Spells and different lotions Much time did they spend. On their bubbling potion Which brought them to an uncanny end. Kay Stafford Year 8

"HOME" E1

Dear Luc Dear Luc, I am writing this in Durban, South Africa — where I have lived for the past 8 months. Being a Rotary Exchange Student has given me the opportunity to live in South Africa for 12 months and experience and learn about a new way of life as well as make many new friends. South Africa is a fascinating country where there is so much to see and do. There are many different cultural groups here — I have mixed mainly with "whites". There are English speakers (who are very similar to Australians) and Afrikaans speakers (Afrikaans is similar to Dutch). There are also many Indians (mainly in the province of Natal where I am living) — and in the city streets there are dozens of women wearing saris and there is also an Indian market here. The largest group however is the "Blacks" who come from eight or so different tribal groups. There are also many "coloureds", who are a mixture of 'black' and 'white'. It is government policy in South Africa that racial groups should be kept separats. So there are buses for 'whites only', separate toilets for 'whites' and 'non-whites; separate schools, separate restaurants and separate areas where 'whites' and 'non-whites' are allowed to live etc. etc. But happily things are beginning to change; — hopefully the change will be peaceful. Much of the countryside here is similar to that in Australia, and there are the beautiful Drakensberg mountains, the Valley of a Thousand Hills, the Congo Caves, Sugar farms, mining towns etc. etc. In the rural areas one often sees little native huts or rondovels — however there are also many big cities — Durban, a big holiday resort on the sea, Johannesburg, built on the site of gold mines; Capetown, built on the slopes of Table Mountain, and the list continues... Of course I can't leave out the fabulous game parks through which one can drive. Often animals such as Rhinoceros, Zebra and Buck etc are right

by the roadside — out in the wild!!! I am living, as I said, in Durban which is a great city — the weather is warm all year round, the sea is close by and the people are super. I am attending Durban Girls College — which is a private girls school. Schools over here seem to be mainly single sex schools. Uniforms are compulsory and most of the girls schools have hats as part of their uniform! The standard of work seems to be much the same, with the usual tests and exams to do!! School over here starts at 8.00 in the morning with prayers then continues until 2.20. There are 2 half hour breaks during the day and we attend 9 lessons per day.

The South African families that I have stayed with have a similar lifestyle to that of Australians— but over here many families employ servants so there are no beds to make or dishes to wash!!! City life is also an experience for in the streets are people of all races. Some wearing saris, others carrying baskets on their heads, some with babies tied on their backs,others with beads tied in their hair. Well I've had a great time here in South Aftica; travelled around, and met some lovely people. Youth exchange is a great experience and I can recommend it AND a visit to South Africa!!! Love Kim Windmill — have lasted 8 months without being eaten by a lion!! HOWZAT??

Dear Luc,

After hearing the talk by the Rotary Exchange Student from South Africa, I am beginning to realize that these people are not as uncivilized as we first thought; in fact, I am beginning to think they are one step ahead of us, and that we should delay no longer and immediately adopt some of their practices. The one in particular that I am referring to is the idea of adopting first formers as 'fags'. This would act as a relief to any duties affecting their delicate brains, boarders especially could benefit from having an early morning cup of tea brought in, and having their beds made. I feel first formers should be honoured to perform these duties for their elders, bearing in mind that their turn will come. `Fagged out' Dear 'Fagged out', After deciding it is useless asking for volunteers, we suggest you consult 'A Thousand and One Ways to Bribe'. If this doesn't work, I'm sure the teachers will he able to suggest methods of torture. `Luc' Dear Luc, It has come to my attention that the biology excursions to the various plantations situated around the school have been thoroughly enjoyed by all participants. It is hoped that these exercises in the examination of natural (?) resources will be continued. Ain't it Smoggy Outside Dear Ain't it Smoggy Outside, After conducting a local opinion poll, the 'Luc' has decided that this activity should be encorporated into the extra activity curriculum, and will suggest this to the school. `Luc'

Parents & Friends Association At the Annual Meeting in April the following Office-Bearers were elected. President — Mr R. J. Bourke Vice Presidents— Mr R. Strickland, Mr R. Chapman Secretary — Mr D. Rodda Treasurer — Mr C. Carr Committee — Mrs N. Marshallsea, Mrs D. Williams, Mr B. Clark, Mr L. Rogers, Mr. R. Bell — (Fete convenor) During the year several Social events were held. In first term a Wine and Cheese evening proved a resounding success with approximately 300 attending.

The Annual Fete produced its usual excellent result and each year all committees combine to ensure an enjoyable and profitable day. The New Committee has agreed to conduct a function each term in future years to provide the opportunity for members of the School Family to meet, and to raise funds for worthwhile School projects. This year $4,000 was donated by the committee, and was expended as follows — Carpet to classrooms $3400, Additional outside seating $600. On Friday 12th October a Pancake and Wine evening will be held in the Founders Dining Room.

Afternoon Auxiliary The Afternoon Auxiliary has continued to meet on the first Monday of each month in the School Canteen. We have appreciated Miss Brookshaw's attendance at these meetings. The last meeting for 1978 was a demonstration of christmas decorations given by Mrs. Griffiths. Our first meeting this year, held in March, was a social afternoon to which mothers of new girls were invited. During the year, we have had a variety of guest speakers including Mrs. Benjamin, The Special Education Officer at Morongo, Mrs. Rosenberg, who spoke about antique china, Mr. Ralph Chamberlain, who is a committee member of the Royal Victorian Association for the Blind, and his guide dog Igor, and Mrs. Zorica, who is a craft instructress at Grace McKellar House.

The film "The Good-bye Girl" was screened at the film luncheon, which was held in July at the Village Twin Cinema. The twenty-fifth Annual meeting of the Auxiliary will be held in October. This will be a social afternoon and we hope that as many past presidents as possible will be able to attend. We would like to thank all parents who have attended the meetings throughout the year and look forward to extending a warm welcome to new parents next year. Barbara Carr. Hon. Sec.

Old Collegians Report ' I am pleased to present my first annual report as President of the Old Collegians. Each year we participate in various functions and represent the association at school events. Our year officially begins with the Annual meeting and Luncheon, held at Morongo each November. Last year both the President, Norma Mockridge, and the secretary, Carolyn O'Regan, resigned from office, we thank them both for the time and interest they contributed to the Old Collegians. The Vice—Principal Mr. F. O'Neill, spoke to us at our meeting, on the changes being made to the curriculum and school activities. At the Luncheon Miss Brookshaw gave us an insight into her overseas experiences. At this luncheon the Old Collegians officially recognised the willing help given to the association by Margaret Henderson and presented her with a life-membership. Margaret's knowledge of Old Collegians and their doings is invaluable. On the eve of the reunion seventy-six Old Collegians who attended senior school between 195560 met at the home of Alison Lawson (Laird) to reminisce about school days and catch up on present day activities. Miss Brookshaw joined us for a buffet dinner. Thank you, Alison and Jeanette Bell (Shrimpton), for organising this function. In February I was invited to join with Miss Brookshaw, The Rev Corr and Mr John Robb, Chairman of the school council, at the school's first assembly for 1979. I spoke to the girls on behalf of the Old Collegians. Also in February Judy Williams (Lindsay) once again offered her home so we could entertain Miss Brookshaw and the staff to a smorgasboard dinner. This is always a happy informal evening with the opportunity for Old Collegians and staff to get to know one another. Old Collegians took an active part in the garden fete either working before hand or on stalls etc on the day. I would like to thank all girls who contributed to make this years fete so successful. The association was represented in the Sun Tennis and Golf days, and the school swimming and aths sports, we also held our own Tennis day in March when twenty-four girls enjoyed a social game. We are grateful to the school for allowing us the use of the courts, and the canteen. Thanks go to Prue Cook (McKewan) and Jen Currie (Bradshaw) for organizing the draw, and the committee for providing lunch. Also in March I attended Melbourne branch reunion with Miss Brookshaw, secretary Joy Rau, committee members Judy Williams and Helen Richardson and Miss Botteril; we spent a most enjoyable evening at the home of Jancis Dennis (Russell) the new president. This gathering gave me the opportunity to thank Min Thompson and Elsie Bishop for their many years of loyal service to the Old Collegians Association.

On 28th April Miss Brookshaw and I drove to Devenish, out from Benalla for The Goulburn Valley reunion and lunch, we enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon at the home of Patricia Mitchell (Illingworth). It was lovely to meet with other Old Collegians, we also attended the Wimmera Branch reunion and luncheon at Horsham. Committee member Ann Johnson (Ockleston) accompanied us on this trip, we enjoyed renewing friendship with their girls. I extend grateful thanks to the office-bearers and best wishes to the branches for continued success, and many more happy reunions. Our Mid-Year Luncheon this year was a great success with one hundred and twenty four girls present even though we had to alter the date to fit in with our guest speaker Ricci Street, (Val Rickards) as she accompanied her husband overeas in June. Ricci was a most enjoyable speaker, telling us some of the funnier sides to travelling as a politicians wife. We choose an Autumn theme for this luncheon and I must thank Marie Kershaw (Vautier), Head of junior school, and her staff for allowing the girls to make delightful posters and placemats of Autumn leaves which were much admired. We were again privileged to be able to use the dining hall at Morongo, thus enabling us to make a profit to donate to the school. If plans go ahead at Morongo to up grade the home economics area, we are going to contribute our funds to this project. To boost these funds and counter rising cost we are having a reprint of "The Lodge" the painting by Robert Ingpen; it will differ from the previous one asit will be printed in sepia tonings on ivory paper; packets of notelets will also be available. This year Di Jackson (Ekstedt) is the organiser of a get together for girls who were in senior school between 1960-65; this reunion will be held on the night before our Annual Meeting in November. The last of these evening reunions will be held in 1980 for years 65 - 70; after which we will begin again withthe early years. We correspond with Miss Shaw for her birthday and send her a Christmas cake; as you all know she would be warmly welcomed at our functions but finds that with her constant travelling, and home duties this is not always possible. We wish her continued good health. During the year I have represented Morongo at Old Collegian functions at other schools, and as we invite representatives from the Hermitage, Melbourne Grammar, M.L.C., P.L.C., Sacred Heart, and Clonard to Morongo they extend an invitation to us. I was also a guest at the Presidents Day of the National Council of Women; June McColl, and Dorothy Ruxton are our representatives on this committee. 73

To help the Geelong committee with the preparation of newsletters etc, we would be pleased to hear from Old Collegians about their activities and would welcome them to our functions; also notification of changes of address would help with the postage problem. I would like to thank Miss Brookshaw very much for her genuine interest in the Old Collegians. She devotes much time to our activities and visits the branches each year. She is always most co-operative, when we ask for permission to use the school. The association is also grateful to Mr. G. Neilson for his work as auditor and the Geelong Advertiser and Geelong News for publicity. In closing, I would like to thank my enthusiastic committee for the support they have given me, especially our new secretary Joy Rau, who is very efficient and a great back up to any President. We look forward to another successful year and I take this opportunity to convey to Miss Brookshaw and the school council the full support of the Old Collegians Association for the continued growth of Morongo. Marlene E. Jeffs President

It is with regret that we learned of the death of Stella Czipo-Barna (Mann), a Life Member of the Old Collegians.

Old Collegians Lisa Johnson School began on September 10th and since then my list of activities has grown enormously. I am attending Hightshom High School where my American "mother" teaches Advanced Maths & Trigonometry and Algebra. It is part of the AFS scholarship—each student spends a year in a High School as a senior (12th grade). School begins at 7.28 a.m. and finishes at 2.05 p.m. with half an hour for lunch — most of this time is spent in the lunch line in the cafeteria. I am taking Advanced Biology, U.S. History 1, Cooking, Gym, Comparative Literature (literature from Greece, Spain, France and Germany), Computing and Psychology. I get no credit for my university courses, yet I am able to graduate, if I pass at the end of the year, which will be exciting.

I am involved in many activities outside school. Of course I am a member of the AFS club and I have also joined the Year Book Committee, the Drama Club and the Senior Class Council. Most importantly I am a member of the tennis team and have been elected co-captain. Officially I am playing 1st singles for the Junior Varsity but I fill in for varsity players when needed. Last Wednesday I played doubles and my partner and I won a really tough match. Immediately after this I had to rush home, shower, change and rush to the Cranbury Lions Club meeting where I was giving a speech. Thankfully everything went smoothly and I didn't use my notes once!
