Editress to Editress Do you think the Diamond Jubilee has been a success, Ann? Yes, I do— it has certainly made this year stand out, and made the community notice the school. After all, who could fail to notice a group of school-girls and dignitaries standing on a Newtown pavement on a very wet day, staring at the ground! Actually, they were not thatsilly— there was a plaque on the foot-path commemorating the first 'Morongo' — Roslyn, established there sixty years ago. My, my, how time flies when you're having fun! By the way, how was the Elizabethan Dinner? I couldn't go. From a performer's point of view, I thought itwas a great success on all three nights, and I am sure all those who sat down to their sumptuous, authentic meal would agree with me. Each night a new 'Lord and Lady of the Manor' added an original touch, and the Major Domo — Mr. Seaton in disguise — provided many intriguing bits of information about the period. Of course, being Lucernian Editress has been an experience, too, hasn't it, Ann? Yes, it certainly has! I think it is a good few years since they last had joint editresses — (incidentally, did you know that Miss Henderson is a former Lucernian Joint Editress?) — but it has worked out quite well, apart from the slight difficulty of writing the Editorial! It has been handy to have two people to scream at the silent masses to "Write more stuff!", and being editress you get certain privileges— like doing silly things in Assembly! How about you having the last word, Kris? Well, the silent masses certainly became 'unsilent' at the end, didn't they? We had a flood of really good material, far more than we could use. On behalf of both of us, I would like to thank all those people who sent in contributions, and if you did not make print— Don't despair, There's always next year! From both of us, too, thanks to the members of the Lucernian Committee for all their help and support, to our team of illustrators, and to Mrs. Quickmire and Mr. Sheppard for all the hard work they have put into making the Diamond Jubilee edition better than ever! Love Ann and Kris

Council Notes As announced in a letter to Parents in July, the School Council has commissioned our architects to prepare plans for new accommodation to provide a range of creative activities at an estimated cost of $350,000.00. These plans are now well advanced, and include facilities for Home-economics, Art and Craft. At the second stage of the building complex, provision will be made for Secretarial Studies facilities. A tender has been accepted to build a new forecourt to the main entrance to the Office and Administration area, and this will be completed by the end of the year. Mr. Robert Hollingworth has been commissioned to paint the Principal's portrait in oils, which will be unveiled on Wednesday November 12th at 8 p.m. The Council are grateful to the late Miss Margaret Oddie for her bequest to Morongo, part of which was used for this purpose. The Rev. Reford Corr resigned from the School Council at the October meeting, prior to his retirement and departure to live in Melbourne, and we record with sincere gratitude the years of service he has given Morongo both as School Chaplain, and Council Member, and we wish both him and Mrs Corr many years of happiness. Mr Ross Averay has resigned as Advisor to the Council due to his accepting a new business appointment. His guidance and helpwill be greatly missed, and all Council Members are very appreciative of his expertise, and acknowledge with thanks the part he has played in the re-organisation of Council Committees and management. 3

Diamond Jubilees are momentous and happy occasions and for Morongo, 1980 is unique, in that Centenary celebrations combined with the Diamond Jubilee have taken place. The college was established at 'Roslyn' in Latrobe Terrace in 1920 and the Newtown Ladies College, which was incorporated by Morongo, formerly the Geelong Presbyterian Girls' College, had been founded by Miss Harris in 1 BBO. According to the prospectus published then, Miss Harris was assisted by 'Teachers of Tested Ability' and the school motto `Semper Fidelis' reflects that same spirit now as it did then. Not only are we 'keeping our lamps ever burning' but we remain 'ever faithful' to the tradition of scholarship, concern and caring for young people under the guidance of well qualified, experienced and dedicated teachers. Over the years technological changes have brought changes to our lives in the classroom as well as the home. Instant entertainment and learning experiences are available at the flick of a switch, and long and short distances covered with more speed and comfort than in the days of the horse and buggy. Due to these advances in technology, life has become more hectic as so much more can be, and is, fitted into one day! However, although young people have been brought up in an era of speed and synthetic noise, there are still many who, at times, like to find a moment of quiet on their own, to find peace and calm where they can sit and contemplate their own thoughts. Fortunately peace and quiet can still be found at Morongo amidst the sounds of birds singing and wind whistling in the trees. Let us hope it will remain that way for the next forty years when the centenary celebrations take place in the rural and picturesque settings of the present surroundings.

School Captain's Report Thomas Edison once said "Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration!" With respect to Mr. Edison, I say "Inspiration is one per cent intelligence and ninety-nine per cent increasing diligence!" How do I begin to tell you how much has been accomplished at Morongo in 1980? 1980 seems such a short space of time, compared with the sixty years of Morongo life we have seen celebrated this year, yet so much has happened. All my labours and aspirations could not convey to you an accurate account of 1980 at Morongo: Morongo means different things to different people. The best I can do is reiterate that much used saying: "Morongo again has had a very busy year!!" We have seen Morongo's Diamond Jubilee, a Country Fair, an Elizabethan dinner, productions of "Little Women" and "The Rude Mechanicals", Athletic, Swimming and Music Competitions, sporting and musical events, camps and excursions too numerous to mention. Amongst all these activities there is no doubt some highlight (whether lessons!!) for every member of the school community.

It cannot be denied that Morongo is an active school, whose successful past of students, staff and parent involvement can be nothing but a genuine indication of a successful future. As you read through this magazine you will realize just how involved and interested many girls become in the many activities and opportunities open to them through Morongo. So keep it up girls!!! In my last year at Morongo I have learnt much about the functioning and organization behind Morongo and about people and I'd especially like to thank Miss Brookshaw and Mr. O'Neill for their guidance and the many girls who so willingly helped throughout the year. To all the girls, congratulations for helping to make 1980 another great year for Morongo!! Morongo is more than just a school. I'm sure every student leaving Morongo this year could honestly say she has learnt something more than formal education during her time at Morongo. "Sint Lucernae Ardentes" and may Morongo's light of fellowship, love and learning keep burning for another sixty years! Keep up the good work everyone and best of luck for '81. Jackie Cox 9

The Mighty Boarders 1980 Dear Boarders Well, I hope you are all well, and enjoying your time in the Boarding House. Not all of us enjoy it, I know, but you should all make the most of it, as time being a Boarder really flies especially when you're having fun!!!

Although the juniors did not attend our social functions, they did have a mystery bus tour to the Pizza Hut and Footscray Ice-Skating Rink, which sounded great great fun. Mr. Corr's retirement was a sad time for many Boarders, as he really did play a large role in Boarding life, not only at Church on Sunday mornings, but also with his encouragement at Aths etc. and also he had an occasional meal with us.

We all arrived back on Tuesday 5th February with about 25 new budding boarders, from all around the world (Switzerland, New Guinea, Noumea and not to mention the good old Aussies) who all soon settled into the way of our Boarding life.

I'm sure all Boarders would like to wish Mr. and Mrs. Corr all the best for the future, and they're both very welcome to stay anytime! (The cubes are always vacant)

Their first experience of a Morongo excursion was the Boarders picnic, and we broke our old tradition of going to that well-known "Surfer's Paradise", better known as Fisherman's Beach to go to the You Yangs and the Lara Pool. I don't know about you, but I think everyone had a great day.

Throughout the year, Boarders have been the backbone to many sports at Morongo. Not only tennis, baseball, hockey and netball, but also two basketball teams. We have also come to supremacy in the swimming sports, conquering Daybugs and Old Collegians, and almost beating the staff at Aths.

Our annual tennis tournament had to be cancelled due to the shortage of Boarders, and we have yet to find a vacant weekend with sufficient numbers. Founders' Day was a special occasion this year, being Morongo's Diamond Jubilee. To our delight, a specially prepared 'Menu' was awaiting the Founders Hall Dinner Tables. Council, staff and old-collegians joined the Boarders in one of their 'better' meals for the year. (Thanks to Mrs. Lewis). The Jubilee Country Fair gave Boarders a chance to test their cooking skills. I must say the toffee apples (after several "too runny" or "too sticky" attempts) were most successful. Miss Cudd left the Boarding House during the Easter break, to return home to England, which was a sad time for all, I'm sure you'll agree. Mrs. Young replaced her, and is doing a fine job now in Shaw House.

Boarders have also been to the Military Tattoo, had regular visits into town, socialized atthe boatraces, followed fellow swimmers around the swimming carnivals as cheer squads, eaten at a Wintersport B.B.Q., watched a film in our "Village Gym" Theatre, and all been involved in some aspect of the life at Morongo. Do you think Mrs. J and staff anticipate every move, we make in the Boarding House?!!!! Well, I must say it's a bit hard to tell at times!!! Anyway, I would like to thank Miss Brookshaw, Mrs. Jenkinson and all staff for their encouragement and co-operation throughout this year. And last, but not least, I would like to thank you, all you Boarders, for keeping the Boarding House alive and fun with that overpowering spirit and enthusiasm. So good luck to you all for the years to come at Morongo and also in the future— Please don't forget to write. Luv

May holidays were 'looked forward to' by all Boarders, butas all holidays go far too quicklyfor us, we were no longer packing our cases for home, but unpacking them for another term. Term 2 had an exciting beginning, with our Boarders Dance, and with much preparation of Shaw House and not to mention ourselves, was most enjoyable for all. Our social life continued throughout the term with the 4th form dancing class, the senior midyear social and a Chanel Social. 10

P.S. Remember— "BOARDERS ARE THE BEST BY FAR!!!!"

THE MIGHTY BOARDERS

Rev. Reford Corr retired from the position of School Chaplain at the end of second term and is now living in Melbourne. Throughout his years at Morongo he showed great interest in all aspects of the school, and joined in whenever he could. He attended sporting functions and cheered the girls along; he enjoyed all the music and drama productions presented in Gertrude Pratt Hall. The girls will remember his assemblies and the School Church Service he conducted each year. He, and Mrs. Corr, always attended the boarders' picnic at the beginning of each year — it gave him an opportunity to talk to the new boarders. He knew so many families of the country boarders. He was a friend to the girls and gave comfort and support to girls and their families in times of sadness. He has made many friends at Morongo and his time here will be remembered by many girls and Old Collegians. We wish him and Mrs. Corr a happy retirement in the years ahead.

Audio Visual Report Being on the Audio Visual Committee is interesting experience to say the least. The popular opinion among our fellow students is that the Audio Visual Members, (Lisa, Alison, Caroline, Fiona, Cath and Sue), spend their time in the A.V. Room listening to the radio and talking. This is not so! Actually we slave over a hot tape recorder copying endless tapes. Nevertheless, we all enjoy the work that is assigned to us. The A.V. Member's job consists of copying tapes, recording records, radio and TV programs, showingfilms and setting up the lights for Morongo's various productions. We also clean and maintain all the equipment in the A.V. Room. The A.V. Room has a large range of slides, tapes, records, cassettes, filmstrips, projectors and videotapes which can be loaned out to students if they wish to use them. The purchase of the colour video-recorder last year allows students to watch a wide range of recorded programs. We hope to have some Year 11 girls come and learn the tricks of the trade next term. We would like to thank Mr. Taylor very much for his help and guidance throughout this year and hope that the A.V. Room continues to be an exciting and helpful place for the staff and students of Morongo. Sue McNaughton Lisa Parsons Alison Trickey Cath Goldsmith Caroline Thomas Fiona Clark

The Lib-rare-ry Report 1980 On the outer Geelong where the spirit is strong. And knowledge never ebbs but flows On a hill with a bell and school buildings as well The Neilson Library grows. Now this library you see can seat eighty three And, although some returns come back late, The loans this half year are well in the clear Totalling two thousand, seven hundred and sixty eight. Each day it's in use and has knowledge profuse, With eleven and a half thousand books. The four new magazines and new art work that gleams All adds to the library's good looks. The McPhee library, too, has a great deal to do As it caters for the younger girls needs And its 5000 odd books range from angels to crooks Giving variety to everyone who reads. The future looks bright for the library is right Up with all the latest innovations But it wouldn't be so well done without Mesdames Moorfoot and Davidson. Who both deserve standing ovation. The committee has seen other libraries and been Very busy at lunchtimes as well They have always been there and done more than their share Thanks Miss Li, Su, Linda, Michelle. Now the library's not there just for when you have a spare But to be used to its greatest degree. So come in and look round, and I'm sure you are bound To realise I'm right and agree!

Social Service Report 1980 was yet another year of form by form contribution to the community through social service. Many of the forms helped to increase the average size of our girls by providing 'necessities' at fetes. Other forms contributed by improving the smell of the Chemistry and Physics rooms — toasted sandwiches and soup tend to leave a pleasant aroma which is unusual in these rooms normally. One of the most successful form efforts was by the inflation — or in a certain cases, deflation — of staff egos at a teacher's auction. Once again this year, the 6th graders spent many hours carrying the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal tins around the school yards. This interhouse competition raised a record amount this year — the top House being Venters. Congratulations must go to all houses for their generous support. The other main interhouse competition was the stamp collecting competition. The honours this time went to Lawson but thanks must go to all girls who provided stamps. As in other years, Social Service has consumed a large part of the 1980 Morongo School year and in so doing many aspects of the community have benefited by our money. I would like to thank Miss Murray for her guidance and support during the year. To every contributing student, I would like to express my appreciation for their support— wasteline or no wasteline. Mandy Mortimer. .11.1••••••!....1.1

Drama Report Morongo's dramatic talents have been displayed in two plays this year. During the first term "Little Women" provided entertainment for many participants as well as the audience. The play, as the name suggests, had an all female cast therefore [perhaps to the actresses dismay), there were no outside male actors involved. The production was very successful and lived up to the high standards of Morongo's previous performances. As part of Morongo's Jubilee Celebrations the play "Rude Mechanicals" was performed in conjuction with an Elizabethan dinner. "Rude Mechanicals" was not, as the name suggests, a performance by nude Ford production line workers but an amusing adaption of Shakespeares "Mid-Summer Nights Dream". After the colourful and entertaining meal in the Founders Dining Hall the audience sat back and enjoyed the performance on a full stomach; a very satisfying evening for all involved. 1980 has proved another very successful year in Drama. Mrs. Deller, Mrs. Quickmire, Mrs. Fox, the Drama Committee and all those car parkers, back stagers, makeupers and usherettes have made the year a very memorable one for us all. Dianne Bell

Music Report In keeping with the Jubilee festivities, this year has been full of variety and interest, from the pure and delicate sounds of a Morongo singing rehearsal to the wild shouts of the wacky bush band. Or perhaps you preferred the stately Elizabethan court minstrels dressed in all their finery and playing music fit for a king! Early in term 1, a selected group from the senior choir joined the Gama singers and other guests to rehearse for the performance of Handel's oratorio "The Messiah". This was performed at Christ Church just before Easter and was conducted by Mrs. Martin. By singing with experienced musicians and taking part in this great religious work, the girls gained valuable musical experience and inspiration. There was a change of tune when a group of girls formed the "Morongo Bush Band". We sang Australian Bush ballads with all our might and entertained a curious audience at the Jubilee Country Fair. In Term II the madrigal choir (a more civilized group) performed at the Elizabethan dinner during the Jubilee week. Meat, mirth and minstrels abounded when, on 3 consecutive evenings, cur minstrels played and sang traditional Elizabethan music to an enthusiastic and spirited audience. The senior choir maintained their high standard throughout the year and performed at the Church Service, school assemblies and a concert in Focus Five. At the concert they enjoyed listening to a performance of Schubert's "Trout" Quintet by a group of professional musicians from Melbourne. In Term III the choir will be singing in the Community Hymn— Singing broadcast on 3L0 and will perform at the Independent Schools Concert to be held at Geelong Grammar School.

**kttttttkkktar

The junior orchestra and middle school Choir have been busily rehearsing all year and performed in the Geelong Schools Festival. Next term they will enter the Geelong Eisteddfod.

Practice makes perfect and this was the aim of all in the House Music Competitions. After much hard work and perserverance all the houses managed to achieve a very good standard. "There can only be one winner" did not apply this year when adjudicator, Mrs. Wayn, handed the Shield to 2 victorious houses, Ardens and Venters. They were followed by Harris, Lawson and Roslyn.

Throughout the year there have been a number of recitals and an evening concert, giving our musicians an opportunity to play to an audience. The standard was high so keep up the good work!

I'd like to thank Mrs. Martin (my mother) for her endless support and guidance during the year, and Mrs. Galloway for directing the Junior Orchestra.

Most memorable was the recital by American violinist Jack Glatzer. His unaccompanied playing gave us an insight into the beauty and versatility of the violin and he amazed us with his virtuosity.

Finally, to the girls (for without you there would be no music) I say: Maintain your high standard and continue to make music at Morongo live. Genevieve Martin.

Ardens House Report The year commenced with a splash as the Ardens House took to the water for the annual House Swimming Sport. 1980 proved to be a very successful year for our water babes and the strength of Ardens certainly showed when five out of the seven individual champions were Ardens girls — congratulations to Fiona Fothegill, Georgie Richardson, Marlene Rau, Lindy Morwood and Leigh Blake. Our Sub-Juniors took to the water like fish winning races, receiving the Sub-Junior Cup, likewise the Juniors also won their section the overall result proved Ardens to be a house to contend with in the future, when it comes to swimming. Andy-Arnold the House Mascot (no longer the nameless bunny) presented himself suitably dressed at the School Country Fair. Andy-Arnold's stunning outfit consisted of a straw hat, overalls, checked shirt and gum boots, all in keeping with the atmosphere. Unfortunately our rabbit only finished fourth in the Mascot Competition; however, this did not discourage Andy-Arnold, and he made his appearance once again in April, at the House Athletic Sports. The weeks leading up to the big day in April were spent training. The day began with several mishaps due to the frosty conditions, but gold came through (both sun and House) after lunch and the finale of the day (the staff, day-bugs, boarders, old collegians relay) was run in superb conditions. The Ardens team of athletics were once again supported by a band of cheerers. The Sub-Junior girls demonstrated their skill and potential as future athletes by winning the Sub-Junior Cup. The Ardens team tried hard all day but were gallant in defeat, finishing second to a very strong Lawson team. This year Ardens moved one step closer to the top rung of the ladder! All the best next year girls. During first term, the grade six girls collected money for the Royal Childrens Hospital Appeal. The bin was almost filled, thanks to the fine effort by all the Ardens girls; however the total $38.61 only gained us fourth position. House Sport commenced in second term with hockey, netball and table tennis. A large proportion of the House activities in second term was spent practising for the Music Competitions. Ardens followed the Yellow Brick Road to success, hand-in-hand with Venters, both Houses tying for the McMiken Shield for Music. The Ardens House Choir finished second, under the guidence of our conductress and leader, Genevieve Martin. Many thanks to Genevieve, pianist Sally English, and every member of Ardens who gave their support, forgoing many lunchtimes to curb our voices to perfection. 22

Stamps continued to roll in throughout the year thanks to our first-class stamp official, Stacey Medlock. The total (38,370) was an improvement of four hundred per cent on last year. A special thanks to Elizabeth Chittock who contributed many thousands of stamps. Remember to keep saving for 1981. 1980 has been a very successful year for Ardens due entirely to the attitude and enthusiasm of every Ardens girl. Thank-you to the staff and sixth form committee for their continual support and help. My year as House Captain will be one I will cherish and never forget. Leigh Blake P.S. There was an extra addition to the Ardens House this year (a late arrival). Mrs. McKenzie gave birth to a son Lance Jason. Congratulations from our House of Gold.

Harris House Report HARRISITE: Well, after another busy year of challenges and triumphs, there's no denying it— HARRIS is simply the best house in the school.

NON- HARRI S ITE: You're biased of course: being a HARRISITE yourself, you're naturally one-eyed.

HARRI SITE: A year ago perhaps I was, but since then i have learnt more about what makes up the success of a house like HARRIS. For instance — who else but HARRIS could have combined a small (in actual fact, very small) amount of talentwith an excess of enthusiasm to gain a 2nd placing in the Swimming Sports, and likewise for the Athletics, to gain a 3rd placing! (Especially after our unlucky 5th last year). And through our thriftness, we HARRISTI ES, managed to save over 42,000 stamps (another 2nd placing to us). And who displays (and will of course continue to do so) perfect manners and good sportmanship on all the fields and courts of the Inter-House sports each week? HARRIS strikes again!! And yet again, when through good looks, orginiality, house spirit (and a little talent) we managed a 3rd (though we prefer to think 2nd) in the Music Comps?

NON- HARRI S ITE: HARRIS sounds like an unbelievably enthusiastic and spirited house!

HARRI SITE: Basically they're the ingredients which make up the best house in the school — optimism, cooperation and an inexhaustible supply of house spirit!!! By the looks of the graph, HARRIS is on an upward trend. Keep it up kids and don't forget 'not failure but low aim is crime'. Best of luck for 1981. Love Kerryn

Lawson House Report Lawson has had a very happy and fulfilling year. Despite the fact that House swimming sports were held on such a bleak day, all girls displayed interest and enthusiasm. The green capped fish came fourth. Congratulations must go to all champions and other houses, and of course to our champions, Robyn Williams and Chris Schaller. But with the enthusiasm and spirit of all the house members we showed the other houses what our motto was ("To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield") by winning the athletics. Congratulations must go to our champions through whom we also gained the Senior and Intermediate trophy, and also the cheer squad who encouraged our athletes during the day. It is only due to the conscientious efforts of all house members, that we managed to win the stamp competition by a narrow margin. We also did well with our contribution to the Royal Children's Hospital Appeal where we achieved second place. I hope this trend will continue next year. You will agree that House Music Competitions gives everyone the chance to display their musical talents. With the help of Oscar we displayed our talents in all the items that we sang which gained us a very close fourth position. Thanks must go to Sally Turnbull, Cathy Maclean and Tracey Scott for their help increasing our musical talent. Congratulations to all other houses for their fine efforts. Wednesday afternoon has shown a mixed result of tennis, baseball and badminton in the first term and netball, hockey and tabletennis in the second term. Finally I must thank all House Staff Members for their help and support during the year, the house committee for all their assistance and especially to all the house members for their co-operation and interest which has made the year a very enjoyable and pleasing one for me. Best of luck to you all for the future. Sue McNaughton

Roslyn House Report

With the aths behind us we threw ourselves enthusiastically into house sports for the remainder of the term. We played Badmintion, Baseball and tennis with mixed successes! We also battled gallantly in second term against the often blustery conditions on Wednesdays in Hockey, Netball, and tabletennis. Thanks to everybody who helped with house sport, especially to Miss Henderson for her unflinching help and support through sunshine and rain! In the Good Friday Appeal we found ourselves, not through not wanting to give, but rather of available revenue — in fifth position. Again this year we desperately ripped and tore at every envelope in sight and in a tremendous effort managed to collect over 37,000 stamps. Unfortunately three other houses collected over 37,000 stamps and once again we clinched fourth place. Thanks must go to Lynette for all her time and trouble in counting them. After shaking off our holiday dust everyone in Roslyn bounced into the decade with our pale blue spirits sky high! Fearlessly we plunged into the Norlane Pool and splashed, kicked, dived, swam, spluttered and cheered our way through to an encouraging third place, and carried off the Intermediate Cup. Congratulations to everyone for a fine effort especially our champions, Ruth Longfield, Chris Rollinson, and Louise Grimes. Quickly recovering from the swimming exertions we tirelessly tackled the training for the house athletics. We sprinted and jumped around for the top oval on Wednesday afternoons until the big day arrived. Armed with our amunition of pale blue windies, ribbons, hats, socks, etc., and of course our two ever faithfull and reliable mascots Rossy Ostrich and Emma Emu we faced the gruelling opposition from the other houses. We reigned supreme in the track events, scored smashing victories in the Sub-Junior ball games (not quite so in the Senior Diamond Throw!) but unfortunately waned a little in the field events to secure fourth place, and once again the Intermediate Cup. Congratulations again to every-one and especially our champions, Leanne Freeman, Ruth Longfield and Marion Williams.

Monday and Thursday lunchtimes in second term found the school alive to the "Sounds of Music", and with many hours of toil, headaches, sore throats, and frayed tempers, we sang our free choice song "We Beseech Thee" with great enthusiasm (we actually received one point more for it after all the hassles than we did for Non Nobis Domine!) Roslyn finally gained fifth place. Thanks go to everyone in the house for all their house spirit when we really needed it, and for suffering the multitudes of practices. Special thanks must go to Ruth our pianist, Grub for all her help, and Mort for her overwhelming patience, endurance and tremendous support. Although this year has not been one of great victories or overwhelming defeats, the Roslyn House spirit has been stronger than ever. I would like to thank the House Staff and the 6th Formers for alltheir encouragement and support through the year; and each and every girl for all the enthusiasm and happiness you have shown. Keep that Rossy spirit sky high and remember We are judged by our deeds. Good luck for next year, Love Debbie.

Venters House Report New recruits arrived at the beginning of this year to join our Venters forces. First on the agenda was the Swimming Sports at Norlane Pool. We all tried our hardest and house spirit was at its peak. However, the tides were against us, drowning our sorrows in fifth place. After a quick recovery, Venters managed to bounce back and play an active role in the School Athletics. Alas, after an inexhaustible effort, both verbal and physical, Venters failed to take out the silver shield [just wait till next year though!!) While these hectic sports were busily taking place Venters were secretly collecting stamps for the traditional stamp competition. Although all Venters girls gave contributions we were unfortunately unable to keep up the pace in time to take the lead. Venters have sucessfully taken part in afternoon sport throughout the year. Plenty of effort and house spirit was certainly rewarded each Wednesday we competed. The outstanding performance of Venters accounted for the victorious win in the annual Music Competition. Thanks must go to Kristina for her great singing lessons and devotion in leading the house to a fabulous victory.

It has been a terrific year for Venters. Each girl and member of staff has shown great enthusiasm and given full support to the house. The house spirit is overwhelming, it is the best house— keep it up in the future and don't forget, NO VICTORY WITHOUT EFFORT. All the best Love Liz

SPORT

Sports Report SPORT, in this our Jubilee Year, has certainly been tackled with enthusiasm, team spirit and good sportmanship. A great start to Morongo's sport in the 80's was made by the swimmers of the school. Our Swimming Sports were held on 21st February, and many girls are to be congratulated on the excellent times they recorded. Congratulations to the Swimming team, who, under the captaincy of Leigh Blake, gained first place in the All Schools Swimming Sports, held at the Olympic Pool in Melbourne, and continued to be undefeated throughout the season. There was no time to bask in the glory of our swimming success' for the preparations for the House Athletics were already under way. These sports were held on the first day of school after the Easter break and competitors, supporters and spectators all had a most enjoyable day. This was due to much hard work by those in charge of the organization of the sports and to them we are most grateful. The baseball and tennis teams of all ages experienced mixed success in their matches. However, the standard of play in both sports was lifted by the coaching of Mr. Seaton with the senior baseball teams and Mrs. Egan with the junior tennis. Thanks go to both these members of staff. Second term saw many girls representing Morongc in different age groups in the Geelong Women's Association Hockey, Netball and Basketball competitions. Two premierships were won by the hockey teams. The senior hockey team played in the A Reserve grade and won their first premiership in that division while the promising under 14 team took the honours in the junior division. The two basketball teams are still playing their matches every Wednesday in the Under 21 competition, and both are doing well. Best of luck to the teams for the future games and congratulations to them for the standard they have maintained throughout their matches. Morongo also has a bowling team — the Queen Pins. They have been playing every week throughout terms 1 and 2 in the Corio Bowling Inter School Competition. They have done exceedingly well and during the September holidays they competed in the finals and gained 3rd place out of 14 teams. Well Done!

Not to be outdone, the eight netball teams did exceedingly well throughout the season. In the Y.W.C.A. Association, we had 4 teams in the finals with the Year 9* 10 team Morongo succeeding In gaining a place in the grand final but having to be content with finishing runner-up for the season. Our final sporting fixtures for the year will be the tennis and athletic championships which will take place in third term. My thanks to all girls and members of staff who have helped to make my years as Sports Captain such a happy one and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support, your loyalty and your enthusiasm. This reportwould not be complete without mentioning Miss Briggs and Miss Boyd, the backbone of Morongo Sport, who have tirelessly encouraged our efforts with enthusiasm. To those girls returning next year, good luck to all participants in all sports. Enjoy your sport and always remember "Icky" is there to cheer you on. Best of luck, RAM (Serena Ramsay)

Swimming Report The Morongo Swimming team should be known as the 'Muhamed Ali' of swimming due to their unbeaten record over the 1980 season and previous two seasons. The team is not only linked to 'Muhamed Ali' because of their perfect record in competitions within Geelong and Victoria but also the fight and determination each swimmer showed when we looked down, and their enthusiasm as we competed as a team, uniting together to form one and succeed as one. The Swimming team competed in four competitions over a fairly short season of four weeks. The first meet was held in Geelong at the Geelong Grammar Pool, Corio, on Thursday 6th March. The weather was perfect for swimming but the coolness of the water made it difficult for swimmers to achieve fast times. Both the Morongo swimmers and divers performed very well. The divers, with only a short preparation time, dived from the three metre and one metre board with excellence and style. There were several good individual performances in the pool but the relays held the key between winning and losing and the Morongo girls excelled winning 6 out of the possible 8 relays. The overall point score was Morongo first, 222 points, and Geelong Grammar second 143 points. On Saturday 8th March, the Geelong and District All Schools Carnival was held in weather conditions not ideal for swimming. Our swimmers braved the cold and windy conditions along with their band of supporters, including staff and students, to win the Batten Shield for Girls for the tenth time. The majority of the program consisted of individual races with only four relays. Over 900 entries were received from forty-six schools and Morongo girls were amongst the medal winners in many of the races, the final points being Morongo first 43 points, and Geelong College second 16 points. A small team of swimmers journeyed to Melbourne on Saturday 29th March to compete in the Victorian All Schools Relay Meet. The Morongo Swimming team successfully defended their title, School Girls Championship of Victoria, retaining the Mrs. Norman Brookes Cup for another year. Morongo teams were successful in the Open Breaststroke Relay — 1st, 16 yrs Medley Relay — 1st, Open Freestyle Relay— 1st, 16 yrs Breaststroke Relay1st, Open Medley Relay — 2nd, 16 yrs Freestyle Relay — 3rd, 14 yrs Breaststroke Relay — 6th and the 12 yrs Medley Relay qualified as second emergency. Heats were swum in the morning and the finals in the evening. Every swimmer competed with determination, swimming personal best times. The Open Freestyle and 16yrs Breaststroke teams both created new records in winning their events. The final result was Morongo first 57 points and Fintona second with 43 points. Thank you to all the girls who swam both in the heats and finals; everybody contributed to Morongds success.

The Morongo Swimming Team ended the season on a good note when they gained first place at the G.P.S.V.S.A. Sports at the Olympic Pool on Monday evening, the 31st March. For many of the girls, it was their last swim at the Olympic Pool which is closing down very soon and I'm sure this added something extra to the win. The final score always gives a good indication of the closeness of the schools, with Morongo victorious by a small margin of twenty points. The atmosphere created by our supporters no doubt contributed to the team's success. The Swimming Team was well supported throughout the season by parents, staff and fellow students, contributing largely to the success of the team. A special thank-you to Miss Briggs and Miss Boyd for their confidence and help, especially when choosing and training the team. Every member of the team is to be congratulated on her efforts and achievements in 1980; it has been a great year and a year to remember. As Captain of the team I felt proud and honored to be associated with such an enthusiastic and determined team of girls who supported me throughout the season both when competing and training. All the best, girls, for the future. With your enthusiasm and ability I can see success continuing for Morongo for many years. Leigh Bla ke,Swimming Captain

Baseball Report Strike 3! Out! Crab! The 1980 Baseball season had begun and this is what could be heard as Morongo baseballers were getting into full swing. Practices were under-way in the second week of first term and social matches were played against Geelong Grammar, Geelong College and Sacred Heart, which were leading up to our Round Robins. All baseball teams were most grateful to our coach, Mr. Seaton, who inspired us with his enthusiasm, patience and knowledge of the game.

gec proved to be a very successtul year, with the teams showing their improved ability against the Melbourne Schools in their Round Robins. The Year 11 and 12 came 3rd overall, the Year 9 and 10 4th, and Years 7 and 8 gained 4th placing. Perhaps our results may not go down in Morongo's Sporting History, however I hope the enthusiasm and loyalty shown by teams of all ages will be part of Morongo Baseball teams, for many years to come. Gong rats! Serena Ramsay

In various social matches against other Geelong schools, such as Geelong Grammar, Geelong College, Clonard and Sacred Heart, Morongo girls were often the convincing victors. These matches ensured that the teams kept in form and it helped prepare them for the big day against our major rivals— P.L.C. M.C.E.G.G.S, Geelong Grammar and especially Toorak College (who have an unfailing habit of doing very well) in the G.P.S.V.A. matches. The results were very pleasing with the teams of: Years 7 & 8 gaining 3rd place. Years 9 &10 gaining 1st place (you are commended on your effortsigirls!) Year 11 & 12 gaining equal 2nd place. There is to be no comment on the staff vs Student tennis matches because admittedly the students were defeated . . . . miserably. Such a thrashing managed to deflate our ego sufficiently! This year we had different coaches for each age group, which meant one specific teacher did not have to put up with the gruelling experience of coaching all three age groups, and thanks for the dedication and interest must be extended to each of them. Miss Briggs, with moral support from Liz Syles. coached years 11 & 12. Mrs. Egan, who coached Years 10 & 9. Miss Boyd who coached Years 7 & 8. From all the tennis players — thank you. Finally I would like to thank all the girls who tried out for the teams, participated in the matches and kept up a regular practice attendance. Without the enthusiasm and dedication shown by those girls the teams would not be worth organizing. Christine Beggs 31

There was a movement on the hockey field for the word had passed around, The Morongo girls were waiting on the side. Their mouthguards were a-gleaming with the taste of battle fire, For the long awaited battle of revenge. All the tired and worn out players from the suburbs near and far, Had gathered at the oval for the day. For the players love hard going where the competition roams, And the opponent awaits the battle with delight. Saturdays were eagerly awaited by many Morongo girls, as this year we had entered five teams in the Geelong Women's Hockey Association, with four teams reaching the semi-finals. The Under 14 team I and the 'A' Reserve team both took out the Premiership for their division. Senior A and Junior A teams had a combined Round Robin at P.L.C. with both teams playing well against the high standard of the Melbourne teams. Overall the Morongo teams gained second place in both divisions. The next day we boarded the bus and headed for Ballarat fora Round Robin against Ballarat Grammar. Once again Morongo teams proved their skills against the Ballarat teams. Some Morongo girls were chosen for the Geelong and Victorian teams and we extend our congratulations to them. This year our teams were coached by Miss Boyd and Liz Alston, and we thank them for their invaluable guidance and support throughout the season. To those returning next year, I wish every success and hope they receive as much enjoyment from hockey as I have. Merrilyn Carr.

Netball Report All the aspiring netballers started off this season with great enthusiasm. With the introduction of our new coach, Mrs. Grub, the Seniors began their spartan training, and Miss Briggs continued to coach the Juniors and Sub-Juniors players with great success. A total of 7 teams competed in the Y.W.C.A. netball competition graded up to A grade. As we come to the end of our season we are proud to say that our A reserve team has been successful in reaching the Grand Final.

As usual all the teams competed in a number of matches against local Geelong and also Melbourne schools.. The Senior, Junior and Sub-Junior teams all competed in the annual round robin held at P.L.C. Everybody went well and enjoyed the day. On Sunday 27th July the Junior and Senior teams prepared themselves for some tough competition against Ballarat, Queens and Grammar School. The results of the day were pleasing and the terrible weather conditions did not dampen the girls enthusiasm. The Senior team also competed in a tournament held at Corio Leisure Centre in July and only just missed out on reaching the finals by winning four out of six matches. August 1st again drew Sub-Junior, Junior and Senior teams to Royal Park to compete in the Victorian School Girls Championships. The Junior and Sub-Junior added more wins to their many successes throughout theyear and the Seniors finished off their season by giving Morongo its best result in the open section for quite a few yea rs. I am sure all of the netballers would like to thank Miss Briggs and Mrs. Grub for the coaching and organisation throughout the season. For myself, I wish all the netballers a good year for 1981 and maybe, next year we'll beat Geelong College!

1980 Bowling Report 1980 was the first year Morongo was represented in the Interschool Ten Pin Bowling Championship held at Corio Village Bowl. We swung into the competition with great vigour against some of the top Junior bowlers in Geelong. Our team, affectionately known as the "Morongo Queen Pins" was led by very capable Alison Trickey (Captain) and ably followed by Lisa Parsons, Jacky Thomas and Caroline Thomas. We fought our way up the ladder steadily throughout the year and finished in second place to go into the semi-finals. Unfortunately we were narrowly beaten by the Corio Tech. Superstars who went on

into the Grand Final to give the eventual winners, the Corio Tec. Mugs, some tough competition for the trophy. Although unsuccessful in our Semi-final we finished the year in third position out of a field of fifteen and Alison obtained the highest scoring female game. Our thanks must go to Mrs. MacKenzie for her help and also Bob, Annette and Wally from the Corio Village Bowl for all their help, support and coaching throughout the year. Morongo Queen Pins.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

CURRICULUM

SPECIAL EVENTS

1980 has seen an exciting and challenging individualized approach to learning throughout the whole Junior School. Our overall aim was to maintain the loving caring environment already established and also, through a caring environment sequential program, obtain mastery learning at all levels. This program has allowed for individual differences in children and also in their learning styles. The tolerant and supportive environment that has evolved, has enabled each child to make a positive contribution in both social and educational areas.

Interested observers of the Junior School Programme have been individual parents and Junior School staff as well as representatives from other schools. Corio South Primary School staff were particularly interested in the Semel Auditory Processing Programme and the Rosner Perceptual Skills Programme.

Our emphasis in Perceptual Training has been enriched by the Rosner Perceptual Skills Curriculum and the Semel Auditory Process Program. The sequential Series R Reading Scheme has continued to provide a firm foundation in Comprehension skills and Vocabulary development. We have supplemented the program with the Series E English Scheme which provides an excellent basis in Grammar. Our sequential Mathematics program, based on a wide variety of concrete aids, is providing a stimulating and interesting format for basic processes. Next year it is proposed to extend this program into Years 5 and 6. Already two In-Service Workshops have been held involving all teachers in the Primary area. These have been very educational and beneficial to all concerned.

IMPROVEMENTS The Junior School Library has been refurbished with the help of a library grant Now more centrally situated in the entrance hall, it has ensured easy access to and from all classrooms. Heating, carpeting, book stands and colourful floor cushions have been added. New doors at the beginning of the corridor have been an asset in the colder weather. Classrooms, used by Team 1, have been carpeted, and have been joined by a walk-way. This has provided an additional resource area, which services both rooms. Blinds have been added where necessary throughout the building. The Parents and Friends Association has replaced the old Fordigraph machine with a more up-to-date electric model. This has been greatly appreciated. More seats are a welcome addition to the playground. These were purchased from money raised at the Annual Morongo Fair.

We thank the senior girls who gave their time to listen to oral reading, especially those who worked with individuals regularly. The "Woolly Jumpers" from the Deakin University brought the "Ho Hum Musical Show" to the Gertrude Pratt Hall which soon became a hive of activity with all girls becoming engrossed in their activities. Mr. Braybrook, an apiarist, spoke to the Year 3, and 4 girls; illustrating his talk with slides. Mrs. Fax took her Year 3 and 4 group on a tour around the Northern parts of Geelong, visiting the industrial areas, viewing educational facilities and transport services as well as 'purchasing' from a shopping centre. A visitor from Thailand spoke to the girls and showed us the many uses of his 'Magic Cloth'. He gave us an insight into the homeland of our World Vision child, Dang. Towards the close of second term a musical recital was held in the school hall and the Junior School violinists were fortunate to take an active part. All schools have the opportunity to join in the Multiple Sclerosis Read-a-thon and our girls enjoyed participating in the appeal. A visit to the Village Twin to view "The Zoo Robbery", by both teams produced many ideas for language and craft

KINDERGARTEN REPORT Whilst Mrs. Smith is with her family in Pittsburg, Penns., she has visited numerous places including Niagra Falls, Disneyland, Grand Canyon and Canada. We welcome her return in 1st term 1981. During Mrs. Smith's absence, Mrs. Butler has filled this position. During a busy second term, special activities included a visit to Geelong Railway Station, a talk by Sister Bowman, inspection of the senior school hospital, and Sergeant Symons presenting an interesting discussion on police work and road safety rules. A third kindergarten group commenced this year. Mrs. Walker and her assistant, Mrs. Sansom, work with the children for two sessions each of two hours duration, catering for the needs of the three year old. It has been a very enjoyable and rewarding two terms, made possible with the co-operation of children and parents. Dawn Butler

Cars Speeding Sky-scrapers Tall offices Noisy trucks slowly Travel along People rush Around Town Year 2 English Syllable Poetry I would like to be a kitten because I could scratch and cry and play. I could stare at mice too. I could stare and stare at mice because I can fight! But if I get stepped on I would cry.

Don't tell me that I play too much! Don't say it! Don't you dare! I only play important things like skating everywhere Or playing tennis or basketball. And who is bound to care? So don't tell me I play too much. Don't say it. Don't you dare. Bronwyn Sutherland. Year 4

Alexandra Epstein 6 years. I would like to be a penguin because I could dawdle along the beach and in the water. I would catch fish. I would walk down the sandhills and dawdle with my friends along the beach. I would pinch people's sandwiches from the picnic table. It would be a lot of fun. I would make little penguin marks in the yellow sand. Paula Robertson 7 years.

I would like to look after a yen-yen. It would be very big and strong and tough. I would not let anyone steal him. It would be my very own. I would feed it icy-poles and bananas. It probably would help with the housework! I suppose it wouldn't, would it? I don't think so.

One day I felt frightened, One day I felt scared. That day I felt frightened, Nobody ever cared. I was frightened and scared, Because of a ghost in my bed. I ran and ran and ran And the ghost tried to hit me on the head with a pan. I ran into the gymnasium, And I jumped up onto the beam. The ghost pushed me off and I woke up, Then found it was just a dream.

ORIGINAL 47

Writing a Poem Trying to think of a suitable title, Showing no sign of a reasonable verse. Thinking so hard for words that have meanings, Making the poem no better but worse. Scribbling and crossing out lines by the dozen, Becoming frustrated because nothing makes sense. Thinking my brain must be numb or frozen, Because my mind is not working as I try to write a sentence. At last I have an idea that may work, Now I have some words that seem to rhyme. As I keep writing the poem is making sense, I think.I have succeeded and all it has taken is time. Belinda Richardson Year 10

Schools of the Future In I went, White, plain rooms Isolated from friends Computers talking to me Monitors staring silently Quiet people No talk, Conveyor belts No exercise, We put on our over clothes Plastic, clear and uninteresting, Nervously I walked to the screen Buttons taking over my eyes, As if I was a button also. The computer said, "Come here". I walked over; it asked me many questions I stepped on a round flat button And the inside of my head was on a screen. Suddenly a shock Went through me. Ringingly I screamed But no notice was taken My brain was quivering And that was all I remembered. F. McMillan Year 9

Five Miles To School "You're lucky, my girl", my father will say And say it he does — near every day. "When I was a lad", he begins with a smile, "Each day to school, I walked over five miles." Yes, braving the rain, the sleet and the snow. Did my father grumble? He says never so. And yet I dare mumble of the few steps I walk, To where the bus stops. (And boy! Can Dad talk!) Why, he thinks it's dreadful, a short way to the bus. When he went to school, he walked five miles plus! I've told many friends of Dad and his tale, And we've all come to realise one point, without fail; EVERYONE'S father says exactly the same So should we believe them? Never Again! Sharon Lamb Year 10

A Little Rabbit I saw a little rabbit go hop hopping by, He had two little red eyes, He said as he passed good day and good bye, So that's all I saw of that rabbit.

"We Called Her Kitten" She came into my life one cold June evening. A grey kitten with a very passive nature. She was found under a tree in the pouring rain, trying to sleep cuddled up to an old tennis ball that had not been used for years. She had a striped face very much like a tiger and whiskers that were far too big for her. Although it was a very unimaginative name, we called her Kitten. This name suited her perfectly because at 6 months old her growth was stunted. Her first day introduced her to several new rules. First Kitten met the master of the house, a big black 3 foot long cat. He was a very refined cat and enjoyed the works of Beethoven and Mozart, hence his name Beethoven. Beethoven was a no nonsense cat; he would not stand for pop music, loud noises or cold floors. Beethoven took one look at Kitten and immediately saw through her green eyes and pink nose into here real self - alley cat! He walked away in disgust. It was obvious at meal times that Kitten's mother had not been successful in teaching her table manners. Kitten ate her first meal next to Beethoven. She ate with her mouth open and made atrocious noises. 1 am not sure whether it was the noise or Kitten's bad breath, (which had become her trademark) that forced Beethoven to move himself and his bowl but whichever, Beethoven dragged his bowl half way across the kitchen floor and settled to eat it there away from the very suprised Kitten. It was a long time before Beethoven and Kitten resolved their difference. First. Kitten began to leave Paul McCartney in preference to Beethoven and Mozart. She soon learned not to play with Beethoven's funny black tail and she gained in table manners. Daily Beethoven would wash Kitten's face and all the places she couldn't reach but the one thing Kitten could not correct was her bad breath, and she still has it! Madeleine Chalmers Year 10 Q

Ladybird! The ladybird went out one day, And Mr. Snake she met on the way. "Good morning, sir, and how do you do?" "I'm very hungry, so I'll gobble you." And that was the end of the ladybird! Terri-Ann O'Brien Year 6

Autumn

The Chase A distant roar of motors broke the silence of the bush. It startled the birds, who flew off into the night, uttering raucous cries of anger. Frightened possums and bush wallabies scuttled about, confused about what had awoken them from their sleep. The jeep roared through the scrub, churning up the undergrowth beneath it. A bright spotlight flashed around, cutting through the darkness, revealing animals running for their lives. The jeep crashed towards them, leaving a path of destruction behind it. Suddenly the brilliant beam lit up a rabbit burrow. A mother and her babies were sent scattering off in all directions. The mother looked around her in panic. She was caught in the blinding glare of the light. She froze, unable to move. She crouched low, quivering in terror. Suddenly a deafening shot rung out through the cold, night air. Her body twisted high into the air, then fell to the ground, lifeless. There was the sound of excited voices and running feet. The hunters, feeling victorious claimed their prize. But is there any real victory in such a one sided competition? M. Butler 10Q

Fire! Sizzle, crackle, flickers of flame, Rustle, soar, Wood ablaze, Fizzle to cinders; Bronze flames like twisted wire, Sizzle, crackle, flickers of flame. Sizzle, crackle, dying flame, The fire is dead, Cinders remain, Not a flicker of flame; The old burnt smell of smoke and wood, Sizzle, crackle, flickers of flame. Gayle Keddie. Year 7S

Midnight at the Ocean's Side Midnight, the moon reaches lazily across the cool, lapping waters of the ocean. It seeps through the depths of water, away from reality, to a dream world. A motor bike screeches, tearing the silence, but this is short-lived, and silence looms back, dominating my mind. Splash, a fish jumps, causing ripples across the almost still waters, but they soon fade, into the darkness of night. The brightness of the moon, is blocked by a cloud, and blackness, once again, rules the world. Sam Carter 9 F

On the diamond mountain a creature lives, Half-sphinx, half-female, half-bird, With a slender body and moonlight hair And golden eyes that always stare, With wings ready to go into flight — But she doesn't! She sits and starer Into the deepening purple mystical air. Helen-Mary Burnside 10M

The Night I Walked to the Sea A slight breeze blew past me, The night I walked to the sea. The moon light shone as it had never done The night I walked to the sea. My dog barked as she chased a seagull The night I walked to the sea. I watched the stars glitter above The night I walked to the sea. The sun rose up to start a new day The morning I walked to the sea. Lynette Wood

Aboriginal Bay The Dreaded Dentist I walk across the sterile floor, My echoing footsteps ring. While hoping that I haven't Cavities or anything. I lie within the leather chair, A bib around my neck. The chair tips up, my stomach churns, I am a nervous wreck. The nurse comes in to take a look, To see what he has found, They gaze within my opened mounth. And utter not a sound. They peer inside my opened mouth, for minutes, maybe more; He wipes his fogged up mirror clean And walks towards the door. "You've perfect teeth, I do declare, Just like these in my book, Come back in six months time and then I'll have another look." Many years have since gone by, My teeth are in a cup. They smile at me from dusk to dawn, And tell me to get up. Anne Conder Year 10 M

Australia's History Australia was a quiet land Where black aborigines worked by hand The corroborees brightened up the night It would have been a wonderful sight

The Captain Cook came with his hat and saw a kangaroo and a cute little rat He saw a grey koala in a tall gum tree He wished England's animals were so free In 1850 the gold rush began The people stole things and laughed and sang But now there's nothing left to see Not a tree or a little buzzing bee The hustle and bustle of city life The smoke and smog could cause strife But I guess no-one can bring it back That good old land the aborigines had. Margaret Lawson One of the winners of the Australia Day Competition

The Cyclops Cyclops was a monster As big as big could be He lived upon an ancient isle In the blue Aegean sea. His body, it was hairy His ears were flat and wide His reasoning was limited, Because he was one eyed! He lived on cheese and buttermilk From the herds of sheep and goats, But preferred the taste of sailors Who were shipwrecked from their boats. Now Ulysses outwitted him: He got him drunk on wine, He held his ears, put out his eye, All in the nick of time.

"This is my begining. . . . I stand alone, Green and untried On the edge of the world, As a decade begins And a life time begins And a life time ends. Childhood has flown Though adulthood's still furled There is nothing inside But a lifetime ends And a new one begins And nothing has changed. Life is a sad and wonderful thing, So try to be free. Watch through the night, And cast up your soul on the dawn.

The Cyclops screamed in anger Ulysses told his plan — He'd string three rams together, Every three carried one man.

Look back on an ordinary past Full of great deeds left undone Look on to the glorious days Full of great deeds yet unsung But nothing has changed.

They rushed down to the sea-shore, And climbed upon the boat. The Cyclops, he hurled rocks at them, But they managed to stay afloat.

Pathos and patriotism ease parting It is our turn to leave. Will they remember us? Nothing will change.

The moral of the story Is very plain to see — Stick to cheese and goat's meat And only drink weak tea! Antonia Cowperthwaite Year 8 L

Isolation The chill that had crept in over the years haunted the house with its icy breath. The old lady had lived in the house ever since her family had died or moved away. She lived all alone, with only the memories of happier times to keep her company. A thick layer of dust had settled over the whole house like the earth covers a coffin in the ground. No one visited her. Sometimes the house was as silent as a tomb. The only time she ever left her protector was in the spring when the lavender and daffodils bloomed in the garden under the oak tree. She would sit for hours in the warm sun looking like a wilted flower. Needing something to grasp onto. Something or somebody. Christine Lyons Year 10 M

Destination Our mountain stands with a small village at its foot. Its back looks bare and cold, but there, tall tufts of grass stretch upwards to try and hide in misty clouds that linger on a cold, wintery day. Our mountain has stood there for hundreds of years on changing flat plains. It stands proud and strong as a landmark of distinctive shape for passers by. Its crater is a deep empty hole that lies in its centre and waits patiently. It has seen fire, drought and flood and still it watches over the people around it. But, our mountain is slowly disappearing and is being eaten away by man for its gravel and rock. One day there will only be a mound of dirt, and no-one will remember or care. It will be forgotten along with many other things man has destroyed. 53 Michelle Hewitt

A Victim of Progress The End or just the Beginning? He stands on the edge of the barren cliff, staring into the swirling water below. What is the use of going on with life? No-one cares for him — he cares for no-one. It was exactly one week ago. when his wife had walked out on him (for no reason he could see). It is now too late to reconsider — he jumps. It appears in small print on the third page — Another suicide. E. Maclean Year 10 B

Cities Smelly, dirty, dusty, Smog and grit, All lives in a city.

"We need power, we need fuel. We need roads, we don't need you. What right have you got To live on that lot? A glade of trees is inessential. You know that house has no potential. We've planned a factory to sit right there. Our lawyer's offer is very fair. We'd advise you to take it — You're lucky we made it. A house like that'll fall 'round your ears. It's only a matter of 4 or 5 years." "You don't understand what it means to me. I've lived in this house since late '23. I've seen my child grow up, move away. I've seen the milk-cart pass every day. Now they're all gone and I am alone, And now you've come to take my home. Is it really noble in the name of expansion To barge in here and absorb my mansion? It's not to you what it is to me, As, in 4 years, everyone will see. Instead of this house with it's ancient old tress There'll be clouds of black smoke which hang in the breeze." Ann Bodsworth Year 12.

Football Running, jumping, marking, kicking. Training for one whole day. Running, jumping, marking, kicking. Will it go on in this way? The torment of losing, The players abusing, Each other, for fear Of losing twenty thousand a year.

I lie, cosy, warm, in bed Pillows supporting my head. Outside the rain falls, making mud But . . . . I am safe and snug. I lie, safe and snug in bed Chasing dreams, in my head Outside, the icy wind howls But . . . I am safe and sound. In the morning, I wake yawning Outside, baby birds are being fed. And . . . I get out of bed. Judith Bothroyd Year 8 M Life is a merry-go-round, Spinning around and around In perpetual motion. Only stopping at intervals to Reload and be adjusted. But eventually this pleasurable Experience is quickly spent and Then no more do we hear the Sounds of amusement.

Around The World . . . A number of Morongo students have this year gone to different parts of the world; they keep in touch with us, and tell us of their new lives ....

From Kate Simonsen in the Philippines: "At the moment the rainy season has just started. It rains heavily some days, and unexpected thunderstorms are likely to occur. We have had only two typhoons so far, and when there is typhoon the school is closed down until it has" passed. Very often it takes 4-5 days — lucky for us, because there is no school! School is very different in Manila. Because it is so hot in the afternoon, school starts at 7.15 a.m. and ends at 12.45 p.m. We, like Morongo, have a large canteen which sells everything, from any sort of soft drinks to bread rolls, cakes, and all sorts of sweets and lollies. The lessons are three quarters All my teachers are Philipinos of an hour long except my German teacher, who is American. The security is very tight at the International School. We have uniformed guards on all gates and all the school is currounded by a high wire fence. We have to carry I.D. cards around with us, even when we go to dances, etc.; cars entering the school have to have a small sticker on the windscreen . .."

From Collette Stewart in the United States: "Granville is a small town with a population of 1300 and I'm living on a farm 7 miles from the town. My host father has 700 acres and farms soy beans, corn and cattle. My host mother works in the kitchen of the school. . . .Teenagers in Granville don't have the same social life as teenagers in Australia; it is 3/4 of an hours drive to the nearest picture theatre and a shopping mall, which is 20 miles away. As you can tell, you have to go a long way for entertainment. During the summer I was on a month long tour of the western states; we travelled in two buses and there were 80 students from 21 different countries. We passed through 15 states and saw the Grand- Canyon, Mt. Rushmore, San Francisco, and much more. Not only was the scenery great but the friendships made were solid and lasting. There were 11 other Australians on the tour, from WA, QLD, NSW, and Northern Territory; it was nice to talk in our slang fora change, as well as discussing football and cricket!"

From Susan Knight in Japan: "Today is a Public Holiday as it is the Emperor's Birthday and all homes have the Japanese Flag flying. Quite a few homes have huge, colourful material carps flying from a high pole because it is Boy's Day very soon — May 5th. They have different numbers of carp flying as each carp represents that a boy lives in the house and the top two are for the parents. It will also be Children's Day on the same day, so it is also a Public Holiday." From Margaret Lawson in Canada: " Sue and I ride our bikes almost all the time .. . because it is so flat around here. It only takes two minutes to drive a car through Arnprior— that is how small it is! In the last few weeks I have learned so much about Canada, especially in geography and history. Here they start learning French from Kindergarten — isn't it amazing? It is because Quebee province is just near Ottawa (Ottawa is 40 miles from Arnprior) Almost everthing is in French and English, especially food labels." 58

"The summer here is very hot, with a high humidity. Our summer uniform is very hot; it is a white blouse, a vest which is made of dark blue woollen material, which we have to wear all the time and the skirt is made of the same material and we wear it winter and summer. Everyday the students clean the school which mostly involves sweeping and cleaning the blackboards. Once a week we do outside cleaning and we cut down the long grass, pull out weeds, pick up rubbish and clean the windows.

It is a Morongo tradition that the President of the Old Collegians is one of the guests to address the school at the first Assembly each year. Here is part of what Mrs. Marlene Jeffs had to say this year: Some things change at school, as time's progress, buildings change—teachers change—the subjects you learn change, but I have thought of one thing that hasn't changed through the years, I don't know, how it starts but it goes on and on, and that is `CRAZES'. I wonder if you girls have ever collected swapcards, or stamps; someone 'starts and everyone brings them to school. Do you remember, some of the others? Hoops, skipping ropes, `cats cradle' or a cotton reel with four nails to make a knitting nancy or numeros or folded paper with numbers and messages under the flaps, or autograph books. All these are crazes and when I think back, we had all of these. I still have my Autograph book, with the poems my school friends wrote, the page with the names of staff, My Head Mistress Miss Shaw, autographs from people I worked with, from people I've met on holiday, even the local football team, so many in fact that I ran out of pages and had to have it rebound and new pages put in! But an autograph often comes to my mind. It was written in my book a long time ago, when I was at school, by a ministers wife, and when Miss Brookshaw asked me to speak to you today, I though I would read it to you, and perhaps — someone may write it in your book for you (perhaps one of the staff) when the craze for autograph books begins again.:—

Old Collegians Annual Report

By the time you read this report, the school Diamond Jubilee year will be nearly over! What a busy year it has been. I have been actively involved with all functions and have enjoyed meeting old collegians, staff, parents and girls. All functions were very well attended and added to the goodwill already found in the Morongo Community. The first function was the Diamond Jubilee Church service followed by lunch on February 15th attended mainly by the 'Mature Age' Old Collegians and enjoyed by all. A Commencement Open Air Service & B.B.Q. on 17th February at Morongo for Old Collegians united parents & friends, staff and girls. At our own Old Collegians Luncheon this year we also celebrated our 60th Anniversary, with many Old Collegians and girls present; we heard snippets of school life in the early days. We also cut a magnificent cake baked by Sec. Joy Rau (Strong) and decorated by her sister, Ella Mathieson. We launched our Jubilee spoons which have proved very popular: they have a dark green top with an etching of the lodge. We had a wonderful response to this day and I am pleased to say, that the profit we made from the lunch and the sale of the spoons will enable us to purchase the Archives Cabinet for the School. 72

The week of 15th — 20th June was Jubilee week, beginning with a Church Service at St. Davids, with Old Collegian Rev. Alison Grant as guest preacher. During the week an Elizabethan Dinner& play was held at Morongo: this was a great success and some people have said, "it was the best thing they had ever attended at Morongo". On the Thursday we were invited attend the school's Jubilee Assembly and Morning Tea. In the afternoon, a plaque was laid in la Trobe Terrace outside Roslyn House. The week concluded with a dinner dance at Kirrewur Court on the Friday night; this was a lovely evening where everyone relaxed atter the hectic week. As well as the above we have still had our normal functions. I spoke to the girls at the first assembly and we held our "meet the staff night at Joy Rau's home at Mt. Duneed. We also helped with the Country Fair. Our tennis day was once again a great success thanks to Prue Cook (Mc Keven) and Jen Currie (Brodshaw), as well as our local girls. We were pleased to welcome Old Collegian and former staff member June Meadows (Baker).

We were also represented in the Sun Tennis & Gold Days. I have visited Melbourne, Goulburn Valley and Wimmera Branches and it's always nice to be their guest, and see the interest shown by Old Collegians who travel distances to be present. November '79 saw the 60-65 Reunion held at Rosnashane.76 girls attended this dinner, thanks to Di Jackson (Ekstedt) who did the organising. Our Annual Meeting and luncheon was held the next day, 24th November. Miss Brookshaw, and 1979 school captain Rosemary Dennis spoke to us about the school. We had as our guest Mrs. Eileen Martin, Head of the Music Department; it was my pleasure to present her with a music stool from the Old Collegians. This year the 65-70 Reunion is being organised by Chris Harris (Moodie) and Libby Halse (Falconer). It will be held at Kirrewur Court on November 21st. Next year we will be starting all over again with the early years. We were sorry to hear of the death of Miss Shaws sister, Miss Daisy Shaw; we passed on the thoughts of all Old Collegians to her. As Miss Shaw has now made her home at Ocean Grove, we hope to see her some of our future meetings. I have represented Morongo at the National Council of Women, President's Day, also at Old Collegian functions at other school. We are made to feel very welcome and are pleased to return their hospitality to our luncheons.

This year we are issuing a list of Old Collegians names and address. This has been a mammoth effort by Judy Williams (Lindsay) and Jenny Miles. We will be re-printing this list every five years. I have enjoyed my term of office very much especially as I am a one-eyed Morongo supporter! and will be handing over to Helen Richardson (Profitt) in November. I would like to thank all my committee for the wonderful support they have given me, Joy Rau as Secretary, Ann Howarth as Treasurer, Joan Morwood Publicity Officer and June Winter who organised our Jubilee Spoons. I appreciate the help I have received from John Robb, Chairman of the Council, Bert Stewart, Val Macvean (Miss Brookshaw's Secretary) the OfficeStaff, Mrs Jill Lewis, catering manager, and Mrs. Jenkinson from the Boarding House. These people have all helped to making my job easier. My final thanks must go to Miss Brookshaw for her continued interest in the Old Collegians. She attends branch functions, and gives of ner time most generously. We are never refused the school facilities and she is always available to discuss any problems we may have. 'How fortunate we are to have her at Morongo' As I have been co-opted to the Parents & Friends Committee, I look forward to working for the continued well being of the school. Marlene E. Jeffs

In Memoriam We close this Diamond Jubilee edition of 'The Lucernian' on a note of warm remembrance for three people whose loss saddened the school community during the year.

Jane Bothroyd, a member of 10Q, was gentle and always good humoured. A first class student, whose interests extended to music and swimming, she was essentially unassuming and ready to help others. The reaction of both staff and students to the news of her sudden death in Adelaide during the May holidays showed clearly the great affection in which she was held.

Janet Sykes, had been with us for only one term, but it seemed as if we had known her for much longer. She was one of the liveliest and happiest members of Year 7, and threw herself enthusiastically into all activities, in and out of the classroom, with a smile that gave no hint of her gallant battle against her illness.

Norbert Majura, whose accidental death occurred in the August holidays, was known to us as a courteous, friendly and patient helper who in recent years had taken Photography classes during Wednesday activities, and also helped with photographic work for the Lucernian. A wide range of students, especially boarders, appreciated him as the good natured young man who could be relied upon to drive them on excursions.

I sit at this des, my eyes down cast As I study the carvings of ages past Someone loved. Stephen, that: s plain to see, And who else was here in 739. The simple compass is used as a tool To carve initials in desks at school. Each mark scraped into this suffering lid Was thereby done and cant be undid". I sometimes wonder whose initials are here. Why were the-y carved, and when, in what year'? 'There are doodles and raarlrdngs and even a heart. This desk has become a unique piece of art. Sharon Lamb 1013
