THE CLUTHAN

(Bmntl Notes 19f5 In retrospect 1976 seems to have commenced with the announcement of the amalgamation with Geelong Grammar School. No matter how one heard the news — through the media, through a friend, a member of staff, or officially — it was difficult to accept and it was difficult to think positively of the future. The causes leading to Clyde's amalgamation with Geelong Grammar School are to be found when we look back over the history of Clyde. Clyde was founded by Miss Henderson in 1911, as a day and boarding school, in East St. Kilda. In 1919 it moved to the present site at Woodend and became a boarding school. The first two day girls were not enrolled until 44 years later. In the ensuing 11 years the number of day girls increased to 28 and during the same period the number of boarders decreased from 132 to 96. Each of the rural recessions had seriously affected the enrolments but the most dramatic change came at the beginning of this year when there was a decrease of 28, or 34% of the enrolment. In a letter sent to parents and Old Girls when the announcement of the amalgamation was made the Council expressed the belief that the cumulative effect of the following factors brought Clyde to this crisis point: The current rural depression, the effect of inflation, the tax burden and the loss of the taxable deduction of school fees, substantial salary increases for teaching staff and other employees, equal pay for women, competition from other boarding schools which were now co-educational, some changes in social values and attitudes which affect the readiness of parents to make the sacrifice involved in paying the high fees. There was no doubt in the minds of those who understood the climate of education today and Clyde's unique position as a very small boarding school, that the amalgamation would provide not only an opportunity of survival, but other benefits. Here was a positive educational plan for the future, an opportunity to become part of an independent co-educational community, with a school which . had shared a similar sense of values, and one which offered an academic programme as well as self-fulfilment activities. It is indicative of the strong ties which bind us one to the other that 84% of the school will continue their schooling together. The memories will

be strong and long living. The Headmaster of Geelong Grammar School, the Honourable Charles Fisher, when addressing the parents at the Annual Clyde Association Meeting, reminded us that we can make these memories positive. He shared with us ideas expressed by the Chaplain in his sermon at the School that morning. He had said that in the prayer of Consecration, "Do this in remembrance of Me" was not only a remembrance of an event in the past and does not only involve looking back, but it is an act of recalling into the present, in order to be effective now and in the future. Clyde was enriched by the move from Melbourne to Woodend and in each decade there have been new influences brought through changing personnel. All these influences and changes have in their turn, become part of Clyde's ethos, and we are confident that there will be a mutual enrichment through the amalgamation of "Three Great Schools" and that our memories will continue to be effective now and in the future. At our Old Girls' Day we attempted to define the spirit which has survived or developed through our 64 years. There was an appreciation of the beautiful in our environment, and in art, music and literature. A remarkable cheerfulness, a friendliness which' communicated itself to others, a courtesy, expressed in consideration for the comfort and feelings of others, a forcefulness, evidenced by the Prefects' and House Captains' success in tactfully influencing others. There was a spirit of honesty, an eagerness to acknowledge the help and achievements of others, and an intolerance of dishonesty of any kind. Learning was appreciated, and the opportunity to question. This was reflected in independent thinking and self directed study and had always been encouraged. Opportunity had been given for the wise organisation of time and money and the making of wise decisions. Although Clyde was not an ecclesiastical foundation there had always been loyalty to high ideals, a desire to be a positive force for good, there was a tolerance of the religious beliefs of others and an appreciation of spiritual values. This is the ethos which Mr. Fisher assured us would be perpetuated. The Clyde Association and the Old Girls' Association both recommended that a painting of the main building should be commissioned and hung in Clyde House. Michael Shannon, of whom Carl Andrews writes in "ART and AUSTRALIA" as "Curiously preoccupied with inanimate objects . . . The limitation in subject matter and the depth

THE CLUTHAN

of his interest in those objects and structures with which he chooses to work gives Michael Shannon a unique and important place in Australian figurative painting", was happy to accept the commission and his painting has become the focal point of much discussion and enjoyment since it was temporarily hung in the front hall at Woodend. The pass rate at Higher School Certificate level last year was 82%. Of these girls two are at Melbourne University, two at Monash and two at Latrobe; two deferred University entrance until 1976, five accepted Primary Teaching Studentships, one has been accepted for College in America, five have been accepted for nursing, one entered R.M.I.T., another Bendigo Technical College, two are taking secretarial courses and one is repeating her Higher School Certificate. The girls who undertook the Alternative Course were accepted for nursing, mothercraft nursing and a secretarial course. There were few staff changes this year. New Housemistresses have been Miss Nicholson, who is on a year's visit from Britain, and Jane Owen and Patricia Monteath who have both come to Clyde through the Project Trust, an organisation which arranges placements for students who wish to have overseas work experience between School and University. The former has taken Remedial Mathematics and the latter two have encouraged a guitar group. Mrs. Gilbert, who was a House Mistress from 1969 to 1973 returned for Term III. In addition to her Housemistress duties she has taken over the practical classes in Home Economics from Mrs. Grechke, who left in July to join the staff of Curriculum Research. Mrs. Wells joined the day Housemistresses this year and among her duties she has enchanted us with her flower arrangements. All these people have shown a warm interest in the girls and by being prepared to be involved in weekend activities have forestalled boredom and contributed to the happiness. John Wregg, who has appeared in several Melbourne theatre productions and who was manager of St. Martin's Theatre, took the Drama classes until his appointment to The Theatre of Youth in Sydney. His successor, Mr. Nicholas Karanev, a drama graduate from Flinders University, produced the plays which made the Drama Festival such a stimulating evening. Miss Anley, the Sportsmistress left to take up nursing and Mrs. Foletta, who had been with us for four years in various roles — teaching Physical Education, History and Theory of Horsemanship and as a Housemistress — took her place, assisted, on a part-time basis, by Rosanne Thomson, who had left Clyde in 1973. Mr. Paul Robinson was appointed to be Form Master of Form I when it was anticipated that we would have an influx of day boys. This did not eventuate, but he has helped to integrate the three boys and, although a part-time member of staff, he

5

has been willing to contribute over and above the hours for which he was engeged, in camping expeditions, excursions or individual remedial lessons. Madame ten Brink has continued to take the girls camping. During the last week Form I girls had their first experience and Forms II and IV repeated their earlier experiences. Form III were overjoyed to be invited to taste the excitement of hiking and camping at Timbertop. I am grateful to all members of staff who gave up their leisure time to share these experiences with the girls. It is when they are "living hard" and thrown back on their own resources that we discover new dimensions and abilities in the girls. One of the outcomes of our Motor Maintenance Course was the presentation of five girls for Learner Driver Certificates. Sergeant Klemm from Woodend discussed the requirements with them and all passed successfully. At the end of the term the school turned out to cheer them as they drove their parents' cars away. A supplement to last year's Human Relations Programme has been talks by Dr. Dorothy Hurley, from the Health Education Centre on Alcohol and Drugs. With the assistance of films she stimulated questions from the girls and aimed to provide wellinformed, realistic information, rather than making moral judgements. A weekend for Home Economics teachers and students was an innovation. Nine teachers and eight girls from several schools worked together, helping in the development of a syllabus for the 1976 Higher School Certificate Home Economics Course. This weekend proved as successful as the French weekend had been last year. This year an officer of the Country Fire Authority demonstrated the use of all the fire extinguishers and tested and demonstrated the use of the coil hoses. His teaching techniques were excellent and everyone felt more competent to deal with a variety of types of fire and appreciated the efficiency of our system. The usual annual events of Plays, Inter-House Chess, Entertainments, Pennants, Public Speaking, Frensham Weekend, Tennis Day, Golf Day, Carol Service, and Hanging Rock Picnic, have involved the girls throughout the year. At the instigation of the Steering Committee for Braemar College, the original buildings of Braemar House were classified by the National Trust. The citation describes it as "a very substantial timber construction designed by the Swiss architect L. Boldini in 1889/90 as a spa sanatorium notable for intricately detailed timber work, especially on the tower." In 1918 Miss Henderson had seen its potential as the heart of her school. In October 1975 a press announcement invited enrolment at Braemar College and in November, Mr. Graham Farley was appointed the first Headmaster.

THE CLUTHAN This year we have broken with the tradition of the "Prefects' Cott" and the Prefects have shared the "Matric Cott" with the feliow members of Form VI. They have proved the value of the sharing of ideas of leadership between the two groups. An appreciation of the difficulties of responsibility has brought increased support and less jealousy of the few privileges that the Prefects enjoy. The effectiveness of all we try to do for each individual in the school depends to a great extent on the calibre of their elected leaders. We expect so much of them, loyalty, knowledge of the girls and their problems, initiative, and willingness to act in the absence of staff, a decisiveness which encourages confidence, confidence — which is always difficult when coping with their peers, respect to those younger as well as to those older, unselfishness and willingness to share the unpleasant

J?L

chores, and that combination of all these qualities — integrity. There are few schools now which have students in the top forms who are prepared to take the responsibility which will make demands on their leisure time, possibly threaten relationships with their friends, and lessen the time which can be devoted to their studies. But the tradition of acceptance of responsibility has been passed on and each year there have been those who have been prepared to accept the challenge. Katrina Moore, this year's Captain, and Katherine Richardson, Sports Captain, have set the tone and they have been supported by the other Prefects, House Captains and senior girls. It has been a happy school and there has been a determination to enjoy what this environment can offer and that the past has handed down to us. Now we take the past with us to another environment as Miss Henderson brought the spirit of the School in East St. Kilda to Woodend.

%#v&t H?ports BRAEMAR

CLUTHA

We kicked off to a successful year with second in the Swimming Sports. We must congratulate Faireleight on winning the Sports for the first time. We were very proud of Annette Devilee for being Junior Champion for the second year. Then came the climax for us and our fit fatties as we "ate" the field in most events in the Athletic Sports. We had a great start as Braemar gained the greatest number of points with the standards. Braemar headed the archery, first by winning the House Archery, and then going on to win first and second place in the shoot-off. Annette Devilee starred again by winning the Intermediate Championship.

This year Clutha cannot boast of any outstanding achievements, but we can boast of having great kids in our House. Everyone was cheerful and enthusiastic throughout the year and every effort was taken to preserve the spirit of Clutha. Although our overall results did not enable us to lead the field at the swimming sports, we can feel proud to congratulate Heather Dalrymple for being Senior Swimming Champion and Katharine Cordner for being Runner-up; also Patricia Young for being Intermediate runner-up. Congratulations must go to Faireleight for their first and wellearned victory in the swimming sports and we are sad that we shall not see the long awaited red programme next year. The great house spirit proved itself again, and we gained second place for standards. On Sports Day, the team effort was just as good. The battle with Faireleight ended perfectly when we came equal third; Ingleton a courageous second, and finally Braemar with an outstanding win. Once again we produced the Senior Athletic Champion, Katharine Cordner with Catherine Richardson runner-up, Annette Devilee and Jane Kelynack must be congratulated on being Intermediate and Junior Champions, respectively. Our overall result in both Public Speaking and Debating was second place. We were thrilled to come second in netball, as we could not expect to beat Braemar's excellent team; in the Hockey . . . we tried. We excelled ourselves in the baseball to come second — once again to Braemar, and in tennis . . . we tried. We thoroughly enjoyed producing our entertainments (amidst minor setbacks), co-starring with our great rivals, Braemar. Entertainments demonstrate that not only do the Houses compete, but they are also very compatible. All together it has been a great year, all thanks be to the Kids of Clutha. Alexandra Sloan, Katharine Cordner.

We made a home run in the baseball by managing to defeat all challenges put up by the other houses. Our netplay was not quite good enough to win the tennis cup, but we were content with second. We hit the hockey field in fine, fat, flabby shape, and timing our hits perfectly, we slammed in a few goals. After three muddy matches of thirty minutes each, our fat little bodies were tired but our minds said "victory", and the cup was ours. Seven starry netball players bounced around the court, and showing their style, nabbed the ball for us. In the House, some Braemarians have not taken to discipline as much as we would have liked, but on the whole the number of points lost was not bad at all. Awards this year have been numerous. Catherine Richardson was especially successful with Full Colours, Half Colours, White Jumper and Lettering. Fiona Cookson received Full Colours, Half Colours, White Jumper and Lettering, Susan Hendy and Deborah Richardson Half Colours, White Jumper and Lettering, Belinda Crosby, Jenny Farley, Georgina Richardson, and Rowena Bear White Jumpers and Lettering, and Annette Devilee Lettering. We would like to thank and congratulate the girls on their achievement. We have had a very successful year thanks to everyone in the House who have all done their very best. We are both proud to be the last House and Vice-Captains of Braemar. We are sure that the spirit of all Braemarians, Cluthans, Ingletonians and Faireleights will combine together and flourish in Clyde House next year. We wish good luck to everyone in the future. Deborah Richardson & Margaret McBriar.

FAIRELEIGHT In the beginning of the year, Faireleight proved its worth by diving into action and taking home the swimming cup for the first time since the house was established. Well done, Faireleight, and congratulations to all the other houses for putting up such good competition. Once again, Faireleight and Clutha fought it out for fourth place in the Athletic Sports, but this year both houses were equally victorious, in third place.

THE CLUTHAN

Braemar, for striding in to win the Athletics Cup, and Ingleton, the runner-up, are to be congratulated. Following the Sports, all the houses played a good game of baseball, but Braemar was not to be defeated easily. To bring a successful finish to Term one, Faireleight, after darting nimbly round the court won the tennis. In Term two Faireleight and Ingleton joined together to perform the House Entertainments, which we hope maintained the standard set by Braemar and Clutha, two weeks beforehand. Faireleight hit the scene brilliantly on the hockey field, and, undeterred by the mud, slush and the various encounters with hockey sticks, drew an equal second with Ingleton. In the House Basketball, some very exciting games were played and after bouncing round on hot and sweaty feet, and struggling with the ball, we ended in fourth place. The House Debating and Junior Public Speaking were of a very good standard and Faireleight spoke up well. This year the Chess Championships were revived and Faireleight put up a good show with Heather Thompson winning the Junior Section, and Lisa Yenken the runner-up in the Senior Section. All in all, 1975 has been a successful year for Faireleight and we would like to thank all Faireleightians for their spirit and enthusiasm throughout. Rosalind Ritchie and Juliet Potts

INGLETON Ingleton this year showed a lot of spirit. Firstly, in the swimming sports we excelled ourselves with all the enthusiasm of "Ingletonians". Unfortunately, we must have eaten too much for lunch, as many of us were seen to sink before the spectators' eyes to the bottom of the pool (this was most frequent in butterfly and life-saving events where more people were drowned than saved). Despite these mishaps we still managed to splutter up and take third place. Well done, Fatties! Congratulations to Faireleight for their fantastic victory and to our own Jennifer Power who won the Open Championship and Inter-champion; and to Heather Dalrymple for winning the Senior Championship, and Annette Devilee for Junior Champion. The Athletics Sports proved more successful for us land-lubbers. We started the sports on the right foot, thanks to all the standards obtained by everybody. Our stamina was "tops all the way" as "Ingletonians" vanished in clouds of dust! (kicked up by the competitors in front of them!) Many of the team events were won by the pale blue and whites, and we proudly took second place to Braemar in the grand final. Congratulations to Braemar on their tremendous victory and also to Katharine Cordner for winning Senior Championship, Annette Devilee for Inter-Champion, and Jane Kelynack for Junior Champion. We concluded the

15

day by winning the Inter-House Baseball Throwing Cup. Good on you, Ingleton! This year Ingleton paired with Faireleight for their last entertainments at Clyde. We all had a great time presenting them and hope Braemar and Clutha enjoyed them as much as we did. We also bounced enthusiastically onto the sports field for hockey and baseball, and onto the tennis courts for basketball. The Ingleton teams, spurred on all the way by Ingleton spectators, played very well but alas and alack! They were slightly "green" and although we didn't take any victories away, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Congratulations to Braemar on winning all three of these cups as well as the golf cup! However though our legs and arms are not so lubricated our jaws surely are, and thanks to our "big-talkers" we have managed to win the debating cup for Ingleton. Thanks very much to the whole House for their never-ending enthusiasm and for all those who supplied us with barley sugars during the sporting events. We've had a good year, Ingleton. Sandra Fairthorne and Helen Urquhart

BRAEMAR AND CLUTHA ENTERTAINMENT It was all very mystifying to come into a hall completely enclosed on all four sides by streamers . . . A wall of streamers in front of the curtain raised before our eyes, and the stage was open to us. It was filled with an atmosphere that "tonight was the night" and we were presented with a bunch of smiling faces greeting us with a song to the theme of "Banana Splits". The second item on the list was "House and Vices" with Deborah, Alex, Margy and Kammy singing "On With The Show". Third form and Dom Teague swung onto the stage with their jungle form song. The fourth item, "the Change", presented us with the lighter side of Clyde's future move to G.G.S. Of course, Clyde House found victory over G.G.S. with six of their "solid" representatives rowing strongly across the stage, to take the Head Of The River. The team would not have managed without the encouragement of coxman, Carol Bailey. Second form then serenaded us with interesting descriptions of their form, not to mention their form-mistress. Golf clinic was "one of those" commentary shows, starring Fiona Cookson, who never seemed to be able to manipulate those balls. A few of them let fly hitting the audience with violent force, which gave them a stunning insight into professional golf. We shall not forget first form's song, which was a colourful picture of animals boarding a bus. Michael Robertson did an excellent job as ticket collector. What goes on behind the senior-sit doors? This has always been something known only to the

16

THE CLUTHAN

seniors, but this year, thanks to Braemar and Clutha, mistresses and juniors alike were permitted to see (extracts only) T H E REAL SENIOR SIT. Chief representatives for the next item, "Miss World Quest" were: Dom Teague — Australia, Ros Devilee — Japan, Carol Bailey — Greece, Jane Poulier — Italy, Bux Richardson — France, and Jane Cole — New Guinea. We were all flabbergasted at these budding beauties suddenly appearing in full bloom. Miss World was awarded to swinger of swingers — Miss New Guinea, dressed in her stylish, exquisite outfits exclusive to New Guinea (one being a purple "meri" dress). We shall not forget fifth form. Their lyrics became somewhat incoherent and we were sorry to see them fade into the distance for the grand finale, but we enjoyed it all the more for its unique style of stage work. Our anticipation had been mounting as we came closer to the item . . . and now, this was it — what was to be revealed, re-enacled or remembered through this one? . . . The School Dance. Our heads throbbed again in remembering the atmosphere created by "Prune" . . . the music suppliers of the night. We saw a vivid replica of all those never-to-be-forgotten characters encountered only on an auspicious occasion like the Clyde School Dance — (another senior privilege, but this time shared by the mistresses).

Fourth form then sang us their own boy-scouts' version of "Long Tall Glasses", and their first sight of Clyde whilst walking. "Countdown" grooved us through what every normal everyday, average teenager thrives on . . . who else but John Paul Young, and the Moir Sisters? The audience on-stage got slightly carried away in mass-hysteria, Young's shirt was ripped off. Nevertheless "he" stood bravely up to the audience singing that tear-jerker "Yesterday's Hero". The Moir Sisters bopped onto the scene with perfectly timed steps to their latest hit, "Harmony Blues". The Matric Ballet was a modern ballet number. They all showed themselves as stars, especially Michelle Teague, who was in perfect time all the way . . . well, nearly. We enjoyed both the folk group items immensely, with such songs as "Friday Man". The entertainments were one of laughs and enjoyment and we must not forget to mention the skits which kept the show rolling non-stop. The last song was, as always, a real tear-jerker, the song being "Father and Son", melancholy and yet threaded with the slightest hint of optimism. We must congratulate Deb, Alex, Kammy and Margy for their fantastic effort resulting in such an enjoyable night. Sandra Fairthorne and Rosalind Ritchie, Form V

INGLETON AND FAIRELEIGHT ENTERTAINMENT

17

It was August 19th, 1975, we were about to enter Clyde's last entertainment. Excitement mounted. The door opened upon a circus tent of red and blue. We were surrounded, not only by cheerful decorations, but also a tingling atmosphere, promising that the best was yet to come. A koala descended the stairs accompanied by a Clydesdale and presented itself to Mr. and Mrs. Pringle. The Circus had begun. The opening song was sung to the tune of "The Saints Come Marching In" with an occasional Hallelujah thrown in by our notorious House Captains. One of the first items on the programme was "One Day In The Life of a Clyde Girl . . .". This was performed by the two House Captains. Rosalind narrating, and Sandy Fairthorne portraying every day activities with comical actions, "as usual". And we must never forget the sermon concerned with the evils of pea eating delivered by Boggy! "The Clothist Colony" was an in depth interview showing us the reform of a nudist to a Clothist and the embarrassing problems which faces them in being too concealed. "A.M. Gestapo" was how it was written on the programme, we expected an example of powerful Nazi intelligence. Two beams of light glared from the dark stage seeking their victim — Miss McCaffrey. Our bumbling bunch of naive Nazi's tried with the bulk of their intelligence to delve into the mystery of an unknown visitor. In spite of their valiant efforts the mystery remains unsolved.

adorned in spotty pyjamas and black velvet jackets. A few Clydesdales displayed a method of keeping trim (as the rest of us are) in vigorous exercises to our all-time favourite, "Zorba the Greek". The time came on the programme for a serious note, the folk group. We usually are confronted by the talented local members of Ingleton and Faireleight, but instead we were confronted with the opposite. They voiced a tuneful arrangement of "Hey Hey With the Monkees" accompanied by excellent guitar playing. A special thanks must go to their understudies who replaced them when the demand for more of their talent overcame them. The scene was now monopolized by our old friend, Bert "O'Connor" Newton. He (she) presented all kinds of awards to various members of staff, for their notable achievements. Then along came Quiet Burp and Leeroy Brown, accompanied by the melodious humming of the chorus. Matrics displayed their love of good ol' country and western music, and performed a barn dance. However, some of the male partners found their feet did not rise far above the ground, while trying to leap enthusiastically, perhaps their past experiences in the matric cot may be held responsible. The end song was very appropriate and very sad and rounded off the night as perfectly as it had begun. This final entertainment followed the same tradition as fifty years ago, as Miss Tucker quoted in 1929, " . . . a very special one of those glorious Clyde Entertainment which for real amusement and spontaneous cheerfulness nothing will ever rival."

Our lively bunch of fifth form fatties displayed their modesty with the song "Ain't We Great"

Artttiittta PLAY NIGHT "A Jubilee" By 7.00 p.m. on October 11th the cast of "A Jubilee" were as close to being ready as we could be. Last-minute nerves had set in and everyone was frantically rereading scripts with only a few minutes left before the curtain rose. The next half hour went relatively painlessly. The atmosphere of a bank chairman's office was captured as well as we could with the help of Max's carpentry and the drama cupboard. As the play progressed, the characters became more and more flustered with the influx of business that did not concern the bank. The problems began when the Chairman's secretary was dressed in clothes that were "spoiling the effect" of the neat and tidy office. Then the chairman's wife returned from a week's holiday. This annoyed the Chairman as he felt sure that the Jubilee would be a failure if his wife was wandering about. This was not the end of the problems for the bank. A government official's wife came in and tried to get her husband's job back. The chaos did not end there either. After endless arguments which solved nothing, a shareholder came in to read the Chairman an address telling him how marvellous he had been for the reputation of the bank. The shareholder seemed to be unaware, at first, of the two women who had fainted. However, he glanced around the stage and noticed the two women, the secretary standing on the desk and leaning over the chairman trying to get at the woman who was groaning on the floor while pulling on the Chairman's trousers. Fortunately the shareholder noticed the embarrassment of the Chairman, and much to everyone's relief, he postponed the address. I would like to thank our stage manager Alexandra Sloan for her hard work. I would also like to thank Nicholas Kanarev for his ideas and helpful advice. Patricia Young

WALKATHON The Walkathon held on November 7 after school was not only a break from study and a chance to get some much-needed exercise, but also proved to be successful financially. Thanks very much to the walkers, George and Helena for cooking the eats, the Scottish farmer who warned us about the electric fence, and the Clyde Bureau of Meteorology, for forecasting a sunny afternoon, with fields inclined to be muddy, tadpoley and disgusting. Cluthan Committee

DEBATING EXCURSION On December 3rd the girls who took part in the Debating and Public Speaking this year were invited on an excursion to Melbourne. Firstly we went to the Supreme Court as guests of the Chief Justice where we watched two men appealing against their sentence. In another courtroom we saw the start of a murder case. After that we all went to have a picnic lunch in the Botanic Gardens. Next we went to Parliament House where we saw the Queen's Hall and the Upper and Lower Houses. Although light rain fell we thoroughly enjoyed the excursion and I would like to thank Miss Reid for taking us. Rowena Ponsford, Form II

OLD GIRLS' DAY Old Girls' Day was a great success this year with a record number of 500 Old Girls coming to see Country Clyde for the last time. The tower was opened for everyone, and many Old Girls were seen looking for their names scratched years ago inside the tower. There were two baseball matches instead of the usual one, and these were greatly enjoyed by participators and spectators. Art, Craft and Photo Exhibitions were set up, the old photos bringing back many memories. There were generous donations towards the new picture of Clyde and a happy day was had by all. Thanks to everyone who made the day such a success. Annarella Hardiman

HOME ECONOMICS CONFERENCE HELD AT CLYDE On July 12th and 13th a group of eight girls and twenty staff (some of whom were on the Home Economics Planning Committee) came to stay the weekend and to discuss the Matric Home Economics syllabus for 1976. The girls came from: Deer Park High School, Belmont High School and Bacchus Marsh High School. We had a very interesting and successful weekend with many discussions, lectures and a very interesting talk about Secondary Schooling in America, given by Mr. Lawson who had recently visited the United States. I would like to thank Mrs. Pringle and Mrs. Greschke for making the weekend so enjoyable. Elizabeth Miller, Form VI

EXCURSION TO THE VICTORIA MARKET On the 14th of July Form II went on an excursion to the Victoria Market. We arrived there at 10.30 a.m. and split up into two groups: one

THE CLUTHAN

with Miss Holden, and the other with Miss Nicholson. The market was quite crowded when we arrived. There were lots of dealers shouting out what goods they had and trying to make people come and buy them. The market was divided up into sections: one for fruits, one for vegetables and one for clothes and other articles. There were many nationalities working in the market, showing their many different ways of selling things. Everything was very cheap and we all bought a lot of things. We had our lunch there, and then returned with Mr. South. Thank you Miss Holden and Miss Nicholson for taki " g us Penelope Holt, Form II

EXCURSION TO SUNBURY On Friday, 1st August, Miss Nicholson and Mr. Robinson, took Form III on an excursion to Sunbury. When we reached Sunbury, we drove through the grounds of Salesion College and saw the historical building, known as "Rupertswood". We drove to the cemetery near the Sunbury Training Centre, "Caloola" and looked at early settlers' graves. When we visited the training centre a gentleman showed us around the grounds, after which we were served morning tea in the therapy room. We saw some of the patients making pegs. After that, we looked at some old blue-stone buildings, followed by a lunch of hamburgers and chips at the Lions Club Park. We met the town planner from the Shire Offices who spoke to us about Sunbury's future development as a satellite city. Our next stop was at the historical buildings of "Emu Bottom". We saw the old homestead and stables which were extremely interesting. Then the bus bashed along a bush track and over a rickety wooden bridge to where we were privileged to see the set for the television serial "Cash & Co.". Then it was back to school after a wonderful day. Thanks must go to Miss Nicholson and Mr. Robinson. Katrina Bryant and Sarah Kelly, Form III

GUESS THE LEGS On the 8th of October at 12.55 p.m., it was announced that Form IV were having a "Guess the Leg" competition after lunch in the hall. As they piled up outside the door, the fourth formers arranged themselves behind the stage curtains. The door was opened at 1.30 admitting the audience. The curtains were held up by the contestants, allowing the audience to attempt to identify the owners of the legs. There were two sections, each with ten pairs of legs. The money raised went to Kew Cottages. We would like to thank the people who entered the competition, and Fourth Form, for the use of their legs. The winners were Katrina Moore and Heather Dalrymple. Lorraine Watson, Form IV

H.S.C. REVISION LECTURES AT LATROBE UNIVERSITY From the 22nd to 24th May, eight Clyde matrics were fortunate enough to go to the H.S.C. Revision Lectures, held at La Trobe University. Half of us had residential places, whilst the others commuted daily. After we had settled into the comfortable heated rooms there was a great deal of exploring and orientation to be done. After the first panic of feeling very small we managed to find our way around the campus between the various lecture theatres, the cafe, magnificent library facilities and the dining hall. Mixing with the other H.S.C. students we realised that we weren't as simple as we had thought. The Clyde girls exhibited a far milder response towards the boarding situation than others who hadn't been lucky enough to experience it before. The lecturers and university staff proved to be extremely helpful and had the knack of making us feel mature, welladjusted and at home. Each of us attended about fifteen lectures covering the majority of our subjects. The comprehensive information was reassuring and enlivened enthusiasm in our H.S.C. course. In the few spare hours between lectures, we were fully employed wandering around the campus, adjusting to the new, freer atmosphere. On both nights spent at the university, two films were shown — "The Go Between", and "Travels With My Aunt". The nightlife included watching the familiar "Bellbird" in color. Lights Out was "stipulated" to be at 11.00 p.m., but this rule was fairly flexible! The sporting facilities available included squash, table tennis and football. The meals were excellent. There were three possibilities each meal, perhaps the most memorable being shashliks, roast chicken, pavlova, cheese cake and orange juice. On the whole the lectures were a success and we look forward to their continuation in August. Jillian Stevens

CONFIRMATION On Sunday, August 10th Jane Douglas, Jane Tims, Barbara Sargood, Susan Mead, Sandra Baxter, Meredith Tolhurst, Jane Sauer, three girls and two boys from Woodend were confirmed at St. Mary's Church of England, Woodend. Bishop Hayward took the service after which afternoon tea was enjoyed in the church hall. Thanks must go to Reverend Dent for coming up each week to prepare us. Jane Sauer, Form III

EXCURSION TO ICI HOUSE Towards the middle of Term I, Form I went on an excursion to ICI House. ICI House is a nineteen-

THE CLUTHAN

20

storey building in the city. Hundreds of men and women work in the building. When we arrived, a man met us at the front door and took us into a theatre where another man gave us a talk on pollution and the use of chemicals in the prevention of pollution. After the talk, we were taken underground to look at the car-park, carpentry shop, airconditioning machine, and the emergency electricity generator. They were all very interesting. From the ground floor we went right up to the sixteenth floor in a very fast lift. When we got up there, we could see right over the city; the cars looked like matchbox cars and the people looked like ants. We spent two hours there, then we got on the bus and returned to Clyde. Thank you to Miss Owen for arranging the excursion and taking us. Deborah Woods and Susan Anderson

"COPPELIA" Towards the end of Term One Form I went to see the ballet performance "Coppelia". The story is about a girl, Swanhilda, and Franz, her lover. There are also Swanhilda's friends, their boyfriends, and Dr. Copelius, the toy-maker. Franz falls in love with the toy-maker's mechanical doll called Coppelia. Swanhilda sees him greeting Coppelia and feels jealous, for none of them know she is a doll. Dr. Coppelius leaves to go for a walk. The boys attack him. As they depart, the Doctor drops the key where Swanhilda's friends find it. They, with Swanhilda, enter the shop and start the toys working — a Chinese doll, a guard, a tin soldier, and a Spanish doll. Dr. Coppelius returns from his walk and finding the door open, he discovers the girls inside. He chases them all out except Swanhilda, who hides behind the curtained tower which also conceals Coppelia. Dr. Coppelius returns after having chased the girls out. Franz, who wishes to meet the girl in the tower, finds a ladder and climbs in through the shop window. Dr. Coppelius drugs Franz, hoping to transfer the life in him to Coppelia. Meanwhile, Swanhilda exchanges places with Copellia. Dr. Copellius brings the doll from the tower, not knowing that she is Swanhilda. When Dr. Coppelius thinks that the magic has been performed, Coppellia turns out to be a cheeky brat. Swanhilda keeps Dr. Coppelius busy whilst Franz recovers and hits Dr. Coppelius over the head. Soon after, Swanhilda shows Franz the bedraggled doll he had loved, and the two escape through the window. Dr. Coppelius is left lying on the floor as the curtains close. We would like to thank Miss Nicholson and Mr. Robinson for taking us to see this ballet. Susan Anderson, Nina Teague, Sarah Nevile

BACCHUS MARSH On Sunday, the first of June, Forms One to Four had an afternoon excursion to Bacchus Marsh

Lion Park. The bus arrived at Bacchus Marsh at about 2.30 p.m. We stayed in the bus as we drove through the park grounds, as there were wild lions and lionesses roaming freely through the reserve. We watched the lions being fed then moved on to see the tigers. They were much livelier, running up and down and growling at the bus. We then went to the car park and were told that we could wander around until 4.00 p.m. There were so many things to see and do that the time we were given was not nearly enough. We watched a little dog circus, which was free, and was once included in the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Next, off to the wax museum which had some really convincing wax figures including Alfred Hitchcock and Johnny Farnham. We didn't stay there for long as time was running short. We walked about half a mile to a giant slide which was much bigger than I have ever seen before. We spent too much money on this entertainment and to our disappointment we found it was time to go. We ran back across a swinging bridge which shook so much that one of us nearly fell off it. By the time we reached the bus it was past 4.00 p.m. and a bunch of tired and worn out girls returned to Clyde after a very enjoyable excursion. We all thank Miss Thomson, Miss Nicholson and Miss Owen for an entertaining afternoon. Sarah Staughton, Form IV

HANGING ROCK PICNIC Starting out at 3 p.m., the school proceeded down the mountain to Hanging Rock. The prefects and committee came in Mr. South's utility and trailer with much bell-ringing to announce their arrival. Feeling sorry for the matrics, we went back down Boundary Road, collecting them as we went. When everyone arrived, there was a great rush for the goodies available at the kiosk. After that, dinner was served: luke-warm sausage rolls, cold meat salad, and rolls. This was followed by rockhard Cream-B-Tweens. When dinner had been digested and the mistresses served coffee, the school climbed the rock. Matric chose a rather more difficult path than normal and a few people had slight difficulties in reaching the top. Coming down, we didn't forget to make our wishes at the Wishing Rock. A new source of entertainment lay waiting for us at the bottom of the rock; three obliging young gentlemen lent their bikes to us. Much fun was had careering up and down the road, and racing around the track. The kiosk was raided once more before everyone assembled in the misty rain and increasing dusk. Hurricane lanterns were lit, and we all set off in groups headed by a prefect. Matric followed in Mr. South's trailer.

THE CLUTHAN Everyone arrived back dirty and tired, ready to have a shower and jump into bed. The afternoon and evening was a great success with no major upsets, besides the matrics ambushing the rest of

HEDDA GABLER and THE HOLLOW CROWN Leaving and Matriculation had the opportunity to see two productions performed by the worldrenowned Royal Shakespeare Company. Perhaps the two most famous actors were Sir Michael Redgrave, in T h e Hollow Crown", and Glenda Jackson, in "Hedda Gabler". The Hollow Crown was not the traditional sort of play, but more of a pageant, which gave us an excellent insight into the lives of English monarchs. It was read by four actors and one actress, seated in red velvet chairs before a red backdrop. Our interest was captivated, for example, when the lady read from Queen Victoria's diary, the day of her coronation. In Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, we were conscious of Glenda Jackson's commanding presence when she came on stage. Despite this, many of us were not satisfied with her portrayal of Hedda Gabler, as we felt her own character intruded too far into her role as Hedda Gabler. Throughout the play we are conscious of Hedda's boredom with her husband and disenchantment with life, and it is because of this projected image that her suicide seemed inevitable despite Brack, the judge's comment: "But merciful God. one just doesn't do that kind of thin

AUST-CARE On Sunday, 1st June, Leaving went on their Annual Aust-Care Collection. We met at Woodend and were given separate areas of Woodend to call on. The people of Woodend seemed, on the whole, very friendly although there were the few exceptions who would ponder at their door comfortably for about five minutes before deciding against giving a donation and others who would send their chubby children out to tell the "Collectors" that Mum and Dad are not interested whatever it is. This attitude, fortunately did not apply to the majority and it seemed that the more unfortunate and lonely a person was the more amiable they were and generously they gave. The dogs gave some trouble, but the girls bravely fought them off in the struggle to reach a likely customer's door.

This day was not to be forgotten by Leaving. It was experiencing people and their attitudes as well as collecting for a good cause. We collected over one hundred dollars for Aust-Care. Leaving would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Pringle for helping to arrange this. Sandra Fairthorne

A MYSTERY TOUR One Visiting Sunday, on the 9th of March, there were only a few girls left at school as the others had all gone out. The mistresses felt sorry for the few girls remaining so they arranged a Mystery Tour for us. We left school after lunch and were taken by Miss Thomson, Miss Owen and Miss Nicholson. The first place we went to was the Malmsbury Reservoir. Feeling energetic, we decided to walk around the reservoir but it started to pour with rain, so we had to run all the way back to the bus to wait until it stopped. On the far side of the reservoir we came upon a graveyard. We looked around it, reading all the tombstones and trying to spy in broken down graves. It was quite scary! Not really, it was most exciting. Next, we went to a park where we played on the swings and slides, and acted like fools. After that, we went to a church in Malmsbury and stood up in the front of the church and pretended to hold a church service. By the time we had left the church we were all feeling rather hungry so a visit to the milk bar in Kyneton was added to the itinerary. While we were in Kyneton we visited the museum and amused ourselves looking at all the curios. It was really good fun. Thank you very much Mrs. Pringle, Miss Thomson, Miss Nicholson and Miss Owen for making the day possible and so enjoyable. Jill Finch

FANCY DRESS EVENING On the night of the 22nd of February we were very glad to experience the colourful, joyous fancy dress. It was full of surprises and on the whole very enjoyable. First form arranged a Mad Hatter's tea party. They wore colourful custumes and Nina Teague and Rebekah Richardson won a prize. Second form presented us with match boxes and cigarette boxes. They were full of warnings and everything was cleverly worked and made. Third form came in as two long caterpillars. They were made with bed covers and the heads were ingeniously constructed. They danced to the piano played by Meredith Tolhurst dressed as a clown. This act won them the prize of best made at Clyde.

around a series of the old man's recollections of the people he had known, both famous and not so well known. As a solo performer, he managed to sustain the interest of the audience with his witty remarks. He freely revealed revolting habits and remained on stage throughout the interval, pretending to have fallen asleep. The interval then became a breathing space rather than a complete break in the performance. We enjoyed his many stories not to mention language seldom heard on stage! Heather Dalrymple

Fourth form presented us with two inventions. In one group, eight girls impersonated drips. They stuffed sheets with pillows to form a drip over their bodies and wore shower caps over their heads. They covered their faces with cold cream and were given a special prize for being able to sit in the dining room. The other fourth formers came in as a train of camels being led by a very handsome sheik. They suddenly transformed into belly dances, one of whom, Gwen Hood, won the prize for Belle of the Ball. Fifth form acted as Gisborne and Woodend wrestlers. They dressed in happy coats and succeeded in making the audience laugh. Matrics, full of witty remarks, lined up as corpses to the music of Funeral for a Friend. They won the Morbid prize. The prefects dressed as white-collared choir girls and sang groovy songs using biblical words as a script. The three boys had an interesting act of their own. They dressed up as pirates, one with a colourful and life-like parrot perched on his shoulder. They staged a very realistic sword fight which won them the Beau of the Ball prize. Thank you to all who contributed to this very enjoyable night. Gwen Hood

Form V Modern History Class was fortunate to be able to see three films which were part of a war series at the Ritz Theatre. These included "Hitler's Children", "Red Russia", and a cartoon, "Over There". These documentary films emphasized a specific period in Europe, and vividly portrayed the totalitarian system. Our thanks go to Miss Reid, who arranged this informative excursion. Rowena Bear, Form V

THE WOOL TRAIN I suppose no-one would have expected to see a huge horse-drawn wagon, laden with wool, travelling the streets of Melbourne in the 1970s. However, this did happen on Saturday, 7th June. It is the first time in fifty years that anything like this has occurred. This wagon was pulled by seventeen draught horses and carried forty bales of wool. All of the Clyde girls went down to Woodend to watch the wagon pass on its way to Melbourne at 2 o'clock on Wednesday, 4th June. We all were very interested in the horses and many of us talked to the men about them. The wool was Caroonboon brand. It was supplied by Caroonboon Station, Deniliquin, which was one

BRIEF LIVES—Roy Dotrice On the evening of July 4, Leaving and Matric, accompanied by Miss McCaffrey and Miss Reid went to Roy Dotrice's performance of "Brief Lives". It was a totally new theatre experience for us. The stage was set in a 17th century study full of old junk and books. The play was centred

of the many Riverina properties which has supplied wool to the companies of Elder Smith Goldsbrough Mort for over one hundred years. This wagon travelled five miles per hour on flat land. It was organised by the Rotary Club of Echuca, who wished to preserve some of the past for the people of today. Rowena Ponsford

MOTOR MAINTENANCE During the first term of this year, three Matric students did a "Motor Maintenance" course. Our studies involved "under the bonnet" repairs, the basic assembly of the car and, of course, the changing of a tyre. We were shown several films on the various processes of engineering concepts. We found the course extremely interesting and are sure it will be very beneficial. Our sincere thanks to the instructress, Mrs. Edwards. Fiona Cameron

THE CAMP We left the school at about 10.00 a.m., after packing all the camping gear in the back of Mr. South's trailer. We travelled in a school bus, and managed to lose our way three times before we arrived at Mr. Hitch's property. Firstly, we walked over to the camp site, and decided where our tents would be pitched. Soon after Mr. Robinson arrived on his motor bike, with the news that the trailer had been bogged, so we all went back to help unload the trailer. We took one load off the trailer and took it back to the camp site. Finally we got the trailer out and Mr. South brought the rest of the camping gear to the camp site. We eventually got our tents pitched with the help of Madame, Miss Holden and Mr. Robinson. After the food tent was erected and the camp fires were dug, we all had lunch. After lunch we went on a nature walk with Mr. Colman. In the evening we got our food from Madame, lit our fires and started cooking. After dinner we toasted marshmallows for about two hours then we all went to bed. The next morning we were up by six o'clock and had bacon, eggs and fruit for breakfast. When the camp site was tidy, we went for a walk upstream, after which we all had to do a painting or sketch of the surroundings. Then we had a morning tea of damper pancakes and a lot of yummy things. We packed our gear, tidied the grounds, locked up the tents, and had lunch, then started the trek back to the bus. We are very grateful to Madame, Mr. Robinson and Miss Holden for arranging our first camp. Form I

SECOND FORM CAMP On 17th-18th April, Form II went on a form camp. The camp site was just out of Baynton on the property of Mr. Hitch. It was an environmental camp; we called ourselves "Les Papillons" — The Butterflies. A lot of the time was spent on walks during which we studied the environment. We used two tents which we set up next to a creek. We stayed at the camp for two days and one night. The camp was to teach us to be independent and to be able to cope with the natural surroundings. Especially we would like to thank Madame, Mrs. Pringle, Mr. Hitch and the mistresses who visited us, for making the camp possible, and such a success. Form II

SECOND FORM CAMP During the third term, on the property of Mr. J. Hitch of Baynton, form two had a free initiative form camp. Since our camp in first term we noticed the creek had changed. Rocks were in different places because of the winter floods and the creek seemed higher. Our tents were pitched along the creek, the same as in Term One. We would like to thank very much Mrs. Pringle for giving us permission, Madame for taking us and looking after us, Miss McCaffrey and Miss Holden for coming and Mrs. Vickerson for all the food.

TIMBERTOP WEEKEND The bus trip to Timbertop was a long one, but several stops along the way were enjoyed. The day was clear and excitement mounted as we saw Mt. Timbertop approach. On arrival we were provided with lunch and a tour of the school before continuing on to Sheepyard Flat, where the rest of the school were camping. After unpacking the bus, it took no time to set up the tents and prepare the campsite. The warm weather was felt by all, so we decided to go swimming in the Howqua River. There were many rapids which we flung ourselves into and were carried down the stream. At nightfall we all tucked into our Army Ration dinner, which had a mixed reception. Tired from the long journey, we all crawled into our two-man tents which were set up around the camp fire, and tried desperately to sleep, despite the hard ground. We made an early start with Mr. Thomson, the headmaster of Timbertop. We set off towards Castlerock, which was about six miles away. The hike was long and steep, so by the time we had fought our way through the bracken and bogs, it was hard, after the picnic lunch, to drag ourselves back to our camp.

Refreshed by a swim, we prepared for the music competitions. Clyde sang their own version of "Old Macdonald's Farm", which went down very well. We had fantastic fun watching and listening to the other units and, when we found we had come equal second with the Hermitage girls, our night was made. Sunday, our camp was nearly over. We packed up camp and with our rucksacks on our backs, we set off towards Timbertop. The morning was wet, and the rain drenched us, but we struggled on. When at last we arrived, we were greeted with bread and jam, and hot coffee, which certainly livened our spirits. Our goodbyes and thank yous were said and we all clambered on to the bus for the last leg of our journey home. The trip back was a happy one with the singing of Clyde School songs. Our thanks to everyone who helped organize our camp, and special thanks to Miss Reid and Miss Monteith who gave up their time to be with us. Dominique Teague

cold waterhole before Mrs. Greschke arrived. We hiked to a landmark called "Kangaroo's Hill". Although no kangaroos were sighted, there was evidence that they had been there. On Wednesday evening we invited some of the house mistresses and their families to a fireside supper. Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Wells kindly donated food, which was appreciated by all. Thursday was overcast and everyone was a little sad as it was our last morning at the camp. After a rushed breakfast, tidying-up began. All the campsites were thrown into panic and disorder, as stale fruit and vegetables were burned and pots and pans cleaned. Hiking back to the bus proved difficult as we had such heavy bundles to carry. On arriving back at school, hot and tired, and in need of a comfortable sleep, our first impulse was to have a hot shower. After all our unpacking, we kindly thanked Madame for the time and effort that she put into the camp to make it a success, not to mention the other mistresses and masters who kindly devoted their time to come to our camp. Jane Kelynack and Heather Thomson

POEM CAMP Why are all these trees so wild and free? Letting the wind rustle through their leaves, letting go of all their sinful thoughts. The birds singing without a care in the world. And me sitting here being tormented by my own madness. Suddenly, a voice, taking all the serenity Out of this beautiful, serene setting. The sun shines so brightly as though telling me I'm the only person who loves this spot. The crickets rejoice in my happiness; A happiness that will only last for this moment, and never again: because I have gone mad . . . Sarah Kelly, Form III

THIRD FORM CAMP On Tuesday, the 15th of April, we pitched our tents at the property of Mr. Hitch, "Glenbrook", Baynton. We chose a picturesque site which had a running creek, lots of wood, and nice surroundings. After lunch our work began with an Art lesson with Mrs. Wade. As daylight saving had ended, preparation for dinner began at 4.30 p.m. After dinner, the occupants of the tents entertained each other with charades, etc. Sleepiness overcame us quite early and we went to bed, hoping to be fresh for the next day's activities. Wednesday was a sunny day although a little wet underfoot. We went for a chilly swim in an ice-

FOURTH FORM CAMP Once our exams were over, we were all looking forward to one of Madame's camps on the Hitch's property, just out of Baynton. On Tuesday, 25th November, we all bundled off by bus, arriving at Mr. Hitch's property at five o'clock that afternoon, to unload food and sleeping bags. It was raining lightly, but later the sun managed to shine through the clouds and the following day was beautiful and sunny. On Tuesday night, Madame and Miss Nicholson treated us to bananas, marshmaliows and chocolate, which we baked over our camp fires. After our supper Madame bade us goodnight but nobody managed to get to bed until four hours later. The next morning there was a grand clean-up of tents and the washing-up from the night before. After that everyone flaked on the ground eating huge pieces of watermelon which Madame had provided. After devouring the watermelon, we went on a hike across acres of paddocks. When we arrived back at the camp, we cooked our lunch and finished the tidying-up. At six o'clock we loaded our bags and made our way to the Hitch's house to thank them for letting us stay on their property. We would like to thank Madame for taking us on this camp and especially for the many enjoyable camps we have had previously. Barbara Sargood and Megan Summers

FORM ONE REPORT In first term there were sixteen form members and Mr. Robinson was our form teacher. We elected Deborah Woods as Form Captain and Shirley Willis as Vice-Captain. During the term we went to I.C.I. House, the Museum and had lunch in the Fitzroy Gardens. We also saw the ballet "Coppelia" in the Daylesford Town Hall. In the second term Hamish Scott left and we only had fifteen in the form. We elected Susan Anderson and Jonathon Wells as Form and ViceCaptains. We saw the film "Airport" and the Kolobok Dance Company. In the third term we won a match against Form II in the Form Tennis. We went to an ABC concert in Melbourne and a camp organized by Madame. We'd like to thank Madame for making the camp such a success. Also we would like to thank Mr. Robinson for being such a terrific form master. Jennifer Joyce, Form Captain Karen Priest, Vice-Captain

THIRD FORM REPORT The year began with Rowena Walker as form captain and Jane Brockhouse as vice-captain. Madame took us on yet another wonderful camp on Tuesday the 15th of April at a very pretty farm near Kyneton. We spent two nights there and returned on the 17th of April. Our second term form captain was Dominique Teague and Jane Brockhouse as vice-captain. On Friday the 1st of August Miss Nicholson and Mr. Robinson took us on a very interesting excursion to Sunbury. Our term three form captains were Katrina Bryant and Jennifer Prictor as vice. We commenced a course of Infant Welfare with Sister Joy Baxter from the Kyneton Health Centre. Our form teachers were Dr. Joshi and Mrs. Greschke but unfortunately Mrs. Greschke had to leave us at the end of second term. On Friday the 19th of September the juniors were taken to the Melbourne show. This was a very enjoyable day for all of us. Heather Thompson received a first prize for her hooked rug in the craft section. On Thursday the 2nd of October our form held a cake and sweet day in aid of the Kew Cottages for C.S.S. We raised the grand total of $35, which was very rewarding. On Tuesday the 21st of October Mr. Robinson and Miss Monteith took us on an excellent excursion to Sovereign Hill. We spent nearly all day there and this enabled us to see the place without any hurry. Our next excursion was on Wednesday the 21st of November to see the film "Dr. Zhivago". Everyone enjoyed the film and to finish off a great excursion we had Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner on the way back.

Our last excursion for the year was a camp at Geelong Grammar's Timbertop near Mansfield. We camped at a place near Timbertop with all the others. We spent the weekend hiking and swimming and returned to school on Sunday the 23rd of November feeling very weary from all our activities. Thanks to Miss Reid and Miss Monteith for a really enjoyable camp. We celebrated the end of the year with Meredith Tolhurst's farewell party on Friday 28th November for those not going to Geelong Grammar with us. This was concluded with a swim in the pool and ice cream all round! Form III

FOURTH FORM REPORT This year we have had a very good year. At the start of first term we were pleased to welcome Elizabeth Herd, Elise Wolfenden; and Victoria Sykes in second term) We were sorry to lose Elise at the end of first term. During the year we have been very active, as we won the form relay at the swimming sports and came second in the running sports. We would like to thank Miss McCaffrey for taking us on our Indonesian dance and Indian film excursions. We would also like to thank Mr. Pringle for taking us to the ABC television studios and Mrs. Black for organizing the trip to the Snowy Mountains. We would also like to give a very big thank you to Madame for being such a fantastic form teacher and organizing and looking after us at the camp. Thank you also to all the staff for making this such a good year. We will be sorry to lose Joanne Elder, Cheryl Phillips and Alison Wells who are leaving at the end of this year. In first term Elizabeth Edgar was form captain and Susan Mead vice-captain; in second term, Peta Ratcliff, captain, and Georgina Richardson, vice-captain, and in third term, Jenny Power, captain and Jill Finch, vice-captain. Jenny Power and Jill Finch

FIFTH FORM REPORT At the beginning of 1975 we were glad to welcome Vicki Andronicou, Rowena Bear, Vivian De Vreugt and Jennifer Farley. Unfortunately, Jennifer had to leave us at the end of first term. Although we were not very successful at sport in first term we managed to win the netball shield after a very hard battle with the Matrics. The match was very fast and furious. In the hockey match we proved ourselves not to be mudlarks, and came equal second with fourth form. We attempted to play in shower caps and raincoats, looking more like a fancy dress than a hockey match. Overall, it has been a good year and we have had a lot of fun. For the last couple of weeks we carry out the prefects' duties, and we are rewarded

The Matric Cot has been a major standby, where we have spent many hours of the day eating toast and drinking coffee. As far as work was concerned we were all a bit surprised at the amount to be done compared to fifth form, but gradually we became accustomed to it and eventually sat for the long-talked-about exams. These were not as bad as we expected. Many thanks to the people who sent encouraging telegrams wishing us luck, and above all many thanks to our hardworking teachers, in particular Miss McCaffrey, who spent so many hours and "red biros" correcting our work and preparing us for the exams. Various excursions were enjoyed by the form including a Geography Excursion to Mrs. Black's and the surrounding district, and countless lectures at Melbourne University. Thanks once again to Miss McCaffrey and to everyone in the form who made it such an enjoyable and wonderful year. Annarella Hardiman, Form Captain

QUuha MUSIC This year we started to have music for Morning Assembly on one day per week. Early in the year, some of the staff requested that a track from Handel's "Messiah" be played one morning, and from this, the Music Assembly developed. It took the format of the music being played with a short description and history of the piece and its author. On April 24th, Shakespeare's day was celebrated. The folk group played and sang two songs of Shakespeare's period: "Shall I Sue", with guitars, and "Greensleeves" with guitars and a recorder. An excerpt from "Hamlet" was played from a record spoken by Sir Laurence Olivier, and Brondwen Hooke read two of Shakespeare's sonnets.

After a buffet dinner we had the first of the Senior Plays, Anton Chekhov's one act play "Jubilee", produced by Patricia Young. AH went well apart from the usual impromptu incidents. The final play of the evening was "That Scoundrel Scapin" by Moliere. This play was different from our usual plays. It had a note of romance, but luckily everyone "lived happily ever after". Apart from the falling of a tree, which caused much amusement, the play was a great success. MUSIC COMMITTEE From Left: Sandra Baxter, Jane Sauer, Margaret McBriar.

DRAMA This year's drama started off on a different note. Mr. John Wregg replaced Mrs. Beard and instead of our usual practice for senior plays he began by teaching us the history of drama. In First Term Clyde's hall was used for the Woodend Drama Festival. At the end of First Term Mr. Wregg left and Nicholas Kanarev was the new Drama teacher. We originally hoped to write our own script for a "review". But this proved a difficult task so we reverted to producing the traditional school plays. Play night was held on October 11th, the Juniors first entertained the audience with improvisation,

Our year of drama has been successful, thanks to our teacher, Nicholas Kanarev, and all the people behind the scenes. Christina Campbell, Drama Secretary

LIBRARY This year, the library committee — Gillian Penman, Elisabeth Edgar, Sarah Kelly and myself — has worked hard to keep the library tidy and clean. The library, as always, has been used to its full extent, including the frequent and hard working classes conducted by Miss Holden to teach the girls how to use the library properly. New, interesting books have been purchased and we hope that all the wonderful collection of fine books that have been so appreciated here, will be appreciated also at Geelong Grammar.

School. At first terrifying, it proved to be a worthwhile experience. We took paintings that we had done throughout the year, and displayed and discussed them. Although the several excursions to the Art Gallery during the year were of great benefit, perhaps the climax was the Modern Masters Exhibition of "Manet to Matisse" at the National Gallery. This was an excursion attended by the whole school. It was an unforgettable experience. I would like to thank Mrs. Wade for her help and guidance throughout the year, and Mrs. Wells for patience and efficiency in the craft department. Special thanks to my committee who have made my job easier and more rewarding. LIBRARY COMMITTEE From left: Gillian Penman, Annarella Hardiman, Sarah Kelly, Elisabeth Edgar.

CAMERA CLUB ART Clyde artists have once again been in demand. The Malrics started the year enthusiastically with the aim of re-decorating the Art room, however this project ended abruptly owing to the disastrous results!! Perhaps the major project of the year was the decorating of the hall for the school dance. This year's theme was a fantasy, "Mediaeval England" consisting of such characters as a witch, a village idiot, knights and a fiery dragon, which dominated the scene. Our thanks to those who put the paper up on the walls.

1975 has proved to be a very successful year film-wise, as we have had films including "The Sting", "Sunshine", and "Our Time". On these nights the attendance was almost 100%. However, our finances have not been unlimited, necessitating various fund raising efforts such as Casual Clothes Day, and car washing. 1 would like to thank the committee, as well as the Matrics, for being such good ice-cream sellers and eaters.

We have enjoyed the year immensely although the books have not always balanced. We offer our thanks to Mr. John Boyd, who came up to Clyde each week and helped us get the accounts straight. As this is the last year of Bank at Clyde, we decided to do something different on the last Bank Day.

Modern Ballet this year has been very successful with a great increase in pupils, and much more enthusiasm than in previous years. Although some of us were untalented, we still enjoyed learning the different steps and working with Miss Blackbourn. We not only thank Miss Blackbourn for her work at Clyde, we compliment her on her forthcoming marriage and wish her the very best of luck in the future. Fourth Form Ballet Girls

WOODEND ARTS FESTIVAL On April 26th Clyde hosted an "Evening of Drama", organized by the Woodend Lions* Club. The programme consisted of three groups. The first of these was the Clyde Drama Group, who did improvisation exercises, directed by John Wregg. It was very interesting to see the preparation an actor must undertake before he is ready for the stage. The second group "The Kyneton Players", performed a play called "Excursion" which proved to be very entertaining. The third group, "The Mount Players", performed the "Bee Jew" Music Hall". The highlight of the evening came when the audience were able to participate in the singing of many old songs, including "Baby Has Gone Down The Plug-hole", and "Flanagan". The night was a great success and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Jane Poulier and Katrina Moore

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL PLAY

BANK COMMITTEE From left: Heather Thompson, Annetta Devilee, Jennifer Prictor, Meredith Tolhurst.

The Junior School Play started by introducing a series of improvisation exercises designed to improve concentration, co-ordination and sense of observation of the performer. Exercise one was the "Typewriter". Everyone had a letter, then we were each given a letter and we had to type out a sentence by clapping our particular letter. Our sentence was "The king who is a fink is in the

THE CLUTHAN

clink". Exercise two was "The Freeze", this is where we have to dance and move about to music. When the music stopped we had to freeze in our positions. Exercise three was "Improvising with a chair". We all took turns of doing something to the chair, for example the first person will get up and hit the back of the chair, the next person will then get up, hit the back of the chair and kick the chair and so on. Part two was animals and toys. We would dress up as different animals and then act it out to music. There was a five-minute break as we changed to toys. Again we would act out our toys. Some of them were a puppet, talking doll and robot. We then had a ten-minute interval as we changed into our costumes for our play "The Rehearsal of Macbeth" by Maurice Baring. The play is about a group of male dramatists in 1606 at the Globe Theatre, trying to put on a play. Macbeth, acted by Sarah Kelly, is a self-centred man who thinks only of himself. As Shakespeare, Jacquelyn Wade was not overwhelmed with the play or actors and the stage manager, Janet Sloan, just gives up. We would all like to thank Mr. Kanarev for all his help throughout the year. Meredith Tolhurst

(Prigmal MA MAISON DE RfiVES Je reve quelquefois d'une maison etonnante. C'est une petite chaumiere situee sur la pente d'un petit val vert. A bas de cette pente, un ruisseau coule parmi des arbres verts et ombrages. On peut entendre le glouglou de ce ruisseau de la petite maison. Un petit bois entours la chaumiere. Les roses grimpantes et rouges couvrent abondament les murs. En hiver la fumee vient de la cheminee en des bouffees. Des volets verts couvrent les petites fenetres et, en ete la porte se tient toujours ouverte. Un long blanc de bois suit le mur a cote de la porte. Des rideaux a carreaux rouges et blancs pendillent contre les fenetres. A l'interieur de la chaumiere il y a trois pieces: le salon et la cuisine ensemble, une salle de bain et ma chambre a coucher. La chambre est vraiment un petit grenier. On escalade au grenier par une echelle au coin du salon. II y a une petite fenetre par laquelle on peut regarder le lit demode. Dans les pieces sont les meubles de bois et tres simples. Deux ou trois chaises, une grande dalle de bois qui sert d'une table. A gauche il y a une cheminee et a droite est la petite cuisine. Aupres des meubles de bois il y a aussi une pouffe pour me detendre. Et la voila! Ma maison de reves. Rosalind Ritchie, Form V

The rain poured down steadily on the sodden ground. It had been raining on and off for the past twelve hours and by now, even the smallest had the shivering wetness upon it. The tall stringy-bark stood defiantly, reaching up into the dark, grey sky. Its branches swayed gently as the leaves shimmer and shiver, constantly moving. The hedge beyond, recently cut, looked dull and lifeless, with the exception of a few sprigs of green which pressed proudly forth, sparkling and dancing with the gentle wind. The rain densed then stopped. The earth had been refreshed, it was grateful; it glistened, shone and danced, filled with joy and solitude. The wind blew in a light fog which thickened, playing with the trees, obscuring the topmost branches, cutting off the scene. The wind strengthened and carried away the mist. The whole earth was clear again, the leaves and branches danced. The rain drizzled, and the mist returned to the masquerade. It teased and tormented the trees, but they seemed to enjoy the game as they waved and swung. Nature is wonderful and strange, it can change as quickly as a person's joy to anger. Life continues, patterns change and the weather lives its own life, never to be varied or upset by man. Dominique Teague, Form III

THE SEA Endless . . . Far away, silhouetted on the horizon I can see a huge liner. Where is it going? So far out that I can hardly see it. Wave after wave crashes angrily Against the weather beaten rocks, Splashing white foam in the air. It is almost dark now, And the sea looks frightfully grim and almost black. Another savage wave sweeps up Over an unusually shaped rock . . . Narrowly missing me. The air surrounding me is tense. Surely danger must be close. I cannot see the liner now . . . Katrina Bryant, Form III THE CITY My work is finished for the day, so I pack up my things and walk out onto the busy street. I've got five minutes and four blocks to walk to the train, which will take me to an outer suburb, where I live. Like me, everyone is in a hurry. As I push my way through the crowd, I see many blank faces, but none I know. The bell rings as I run down the

THE CLUTHAN

platform towards the train. I just make it. I find myself a seat under the window and sit down. Sitting beside me is a mother with two young children, who are madly fighting. She gives them both a smack and they sit quietly. The train pulls out of the station and rumbles down the line. At the first stop an old woman with a floral skirt and an old, grey shawl, stumbles onto the train and sits a few seats away. Her hands and face are wrinkled, her eyes barely open and her mouth sagging at the ends. She has a large paper bag in which she scratches around and pulls out glasses and a book. She puts on her glasses and before looking down to the pages, she peers over the top with a frown, as if to say she did not approve of the old train. At the next stop two young girls get on, laughing and shouting. They are both wearing jeans and sneakers, with short, brown corduroy jackets. They are smoking and chewing gum. They do not sit down, instead, they hang out the window. They jump off at the next station. A middle-aged woman gets on and moves slowly to her seat and sits down. She opens her handbag and rummages for a cigarette and lights it; blowing out the match with the same breath. Lazily she brings the cigarette to and from her painted lips. She stares out the window at the skyscrapers and crowded highways, the polluted streams and untidy backyards. She gradually melts with the seat and becomes part of it, part of the train, part of the city. She does not respond to my smile. Her face is as blank as the buildings sailing past.

NIGHTFALL The sun was sinking like a large orange ball. The shadows were orange, twinkling through the tall trees. I turned, then looked back; the sunset was now casting orange and pink patterns across the sky. I looked over towards the pool, the dark monster of night was coming over to fight the last moments of day. The birds were starting to tuck their heads under their wings. The crickets were chirping and the cats howling, reminding me of an opera singer on ice. Downstairs I can hear the plates clanking as they are put on the bench. I can smell the casserole in the oven and the apple crumble which has just been brought out. The cat is crying for its dinner. As it grows dark I can hear my sister crying downstairs, not wanting to go to bed. My beautiful night has been destroyed. Amanda Paterson, Form III

The train jerks to a halt at my stop. Getting off, I too, melt into the city. Annette Devilee, Form III

A SAD, DEJECTED PERSON Beneath a dim light, by a gradually dying fire, an old and dejected grandmother sits in a rockingchair. The chair creaks with an unsteady rhythm. A furry cat sits on the old lady's lap and purrs away like a steam-engine. Each wrinkle in the old lady's face seems to tell a story. Her eyes are nearly closed and her hair, once beautiful, has nearly all gone. Her shoulders are hunched and she wears a pale grey shawl, a black jumper and a fawn skirt. The skirt shows many patches and the jumper many holes. Her hands are gently clasped in her lap, scarred with work and weather-beaten. Her face has now drooped to her chest, and with this movement, the cat jumps to the bare floorboards. The mantelpiece is bare except for a photo of a young man on the roadside with an empty glass in his hand. The creaking has now stopped and the light very dim. The cat has gone, and the chair is covered in dust. Rowena Walker, Form III

THE BUSY BUMBLE BEE A busy bumble bee flew across the flower bed, singing a buzzing song. Oh! it's good to hear its busy, buzzing song; it reminds me of summer and the glow worms and fire flies up in the tropics, where it is hot. It also gives me the pleasure of watching them get the nectar from the flowers. I could just sit there all day long, watching and listening to them humming. I wonder what it would be like to be a busy bumbling bee, a busy, buzzing bee! Melissa Batt, Form III

THE RAIN The rain falls down drip drip and here I am splashing in puddles. I am getting nice and wet. The clouds are all grey and the rain turns into hail. It stings my face, unlike the soft rain. I try to run for shelter but I can't find any. It doesn't really matter because I like the rain. Melissa Batt, Form III

ALONE IN THE SNOW I'm alone in the snow, all cold and shivery. It's all eerie and dark and I'm a bit scared. As I am walking along, I listen to the crunchy snow under my feet. All I hear is the sighing of the wind amongst the cold, sad, weeping trees. As the snow on their branches melts their tears fall to the ground. I wish I could remember this forever. Melissa Batt, Form III

THE MONSTER One cold, snowy night, I lay in my lovely warm bed, and I was reading by torchlight. Suddenly I heard a bang on the window. I jumped, and said, "Who's there?" I could hear nothing. I started to wonder what had made the noise. I cautiously got up and looked out the window. Fifteen inches of snow had fallen, and the sky was really black, with lots of silvery stars dotted everywhere. So I thought "That's strange, I'm sure I heard something." I got dressed, and went outside to investigate with my little spotlight. I felt a bit scared, but I regained courage and went outside. I sank up to my knees in the powdery snow which had just fallen. All of a sudden I heard a deep growling. I turned around quickly and screamed, "Who's there?" A seventeen foot high snow monster came out of the bushes. I froze with shock. I slowly moved back, then turned and ran. I screamed "Speeda", who had come outside to watch the snow falling. She saw me and came running towards we. She said "What is it?"

THE CLUTHAN

"Ah! there's a monster! In the bush over there!" "You're kidding, there's no such thing as monsters around here." "There is, over in those bushes." When I said that, the monster appeared once more. Speeda screamed out. "Ah! Melissa, I believe you, let's get out of here." So we ran really fast in the opposite direction to the monster. We both ran inside the house and locked the door. The monster came and bashed on the door so hard that the door handle popped out. But the two girls were safe inside, and didn't have to worry about it anymore. Melissa Batt, Form III

PREACHERMANIA Teeny boppers galore. Millions of screaming gals aged from eight to sixteen, jumping and scratching. Greedy, grasping, ring-ridden hands, clawing for some sacred memoir of their mostadored pop weasel. "Oh, my gorgeous spunk!" screamed out a cool chick from the back. "I want you, my adorable hunk!" called another near her. Seconds flew by until every sheila was aware of the hassleless atmosphere and the absolute coolness of it all. Then, before the next bell tolled, there he was: all 3ft. 2in. of uncontrolled far-out sex appeal. "I do love you all. You are my children. Flower power, peace to all. That is my sermon, this is my

35

gas parish. Fans, my soul is your soul. Carry me on the sails of your empty passions." The mass crouched then sprang, pulverising the poor brains out of the preacher. Soon his mangled stomach was varnished over the wooden floorboards and his tattooed hide was tanned and waxed and put into the National Institute of Technology. The fans went home, their thirsts quenched for the minute. Sarah Staughton, Form IV

THE OLD MAN ON THE WHARF Perhaps it's not so unusual to see an old man sitting on a wharf fishing, but this old man I knew was strangely quiet. One would imagine a fisherman to be old with whiskers, drunk and noisy. He was not like this, he seemed to have far better qualities than those of his mates. His whole life seemed to be devoted to the quiet quayside and the green moving waters. Never once did I see him crying out loud or even smiling, yet he was happy within himself. The old man did not actually have a home, but a little cave along a deserted beach narrowing into the cliff. Cold and dark looking, he sat and thought back to his childhood days when the meadows were green and laden with dew in the crystal clear morning. Lost in thought, he would jolt himself into the present and listen to the water on the shingle, the rustle of the white horses on the slow moving waves, the wind through the pine trees, picking up the needles as it passes by, then the last of the sun sinking into the red-brown hills, disappearing on the horizon. Then again, his mind trails back into the past, as it had so many times before. To the boys with the shiny black shoes and the rosy cheeks, the way he used to gallop in the fields and walk through the marsh. How he used to watch his horse go free and run, silhouetted against the pink sky. Sandra Baxter, Form IV

Against the sky a branch reaches. The air is still and eerie. On the branch Silhouetted against the grey, blanketed sky, Stands the grim spectre of death waiting; waiting for its next victim to travel across the river to the land of shadows, where wreaths and ghosts wander in darkness. A grim spectre of death waiting, waiting for ever . . . Anne Nevile, Form IV

Suddenly there is a wild tempestuous storm. It had been working up slowly almost unnoticed, when it struck. The sea heaves and tosses. The boat is rolled and tumbled all over the waves, and all aboard is in confusion. Then the turbulence ceases, but the after effects still linger — the memory of the fear still clings to all on board, so that they are flighty and quick to notice anything wrong. During the boat's long journey across the open sea many storms like this occur, each one leaving its stamp — indelible — upon the functionings of the boat. But everything becomes quiet again as the boat approaches its destination. It slips unhurriedly into the bay and slides along the still water very slowly, relaxing after the voyage, and now, with movement almost imperceptible, it creaks into the harbour and sidles up to a pier. Its hull is battle-scarred, its engines need a complete overhaul, so they put the boat aside to lie quietly. Now look back over the journey of this boat. Isn't it like life? Katharine Cordner, Form V

OUR SOCIETY

SEA OF LIFE A boat is built according to careful plans and only the best materials are used. It is let into the water, and at the pier it is christened with much celebration, then it is launched into its new life. The boat glides peacefully through the still waters in the sheltered bay; on board all is calm and happy, but the journey is still young. The boat passes the heads, and then it is in the open sea. It's a bit rough at first, but the boat gets used to it after a while, and all on board get used to it so everything settles down and carries on evenly.

Over the vast green fields, the golden sun was rising, making the small crystals of dew which hung from silver threads of glass, shimmer in the new dawn. Light was unpeeling the land from darkness, and many colourful birds, which had long been awake singing their lament, were beginning to move to and fro through the branches of tall and stunted trees. Soon everything and everyone was going to awaken, and it would be the beginning of another day. Far away in a city, after the sun had long been up, life was continuing in its daily regularity and monotony. Shop windows were being arranged in their usual manner, and everyone was moving with the same busy morning zest down the broad streets and narrow alleys. Even school-children, and the people concealed within the shell of their cars, all had similar expressions of nervous haste on their visages. Brakes screeching, children crying, dogs barking, and the clatter of late breakfast dishes in cafes, all were suggesting the .presence of an "inevitable routine". Yes, everyone in this busy and clamorous town appears to be doing something. However, in one district beams of sunshine gleam through the window belonging to a miniature high rise box, and within this box, there exists a man. I would like to make the distinction here by saying that this man exists and does not live because he only has the capability to sit in his dingy room and possess one thing — the sunlight through his window. We naturally ask ourselves why does this man do

37

THE CLUTHAN

nothing? What is wrong with him? The question is simple to answer. This man, with thin and bony, worn-out hands, a scaly face, and bent back, is now an outcast from society. Why? It is because he is a cripple. No friends, no kin, no pets, he sits in his room, attempting to exist from one day to the next. Yes, a heavy, mining cart would well be able to tell his tale. It was his carelessness that brought about the death of five companions, and the foul deed of crushed legs upon himself. As a wanton old man he had not only been dismissed from his employment, but also from his society. Laden with melancholy, he watches the world in darkness and confusion. In the centre of his world hangs a flimsy lightshade. A mattress, suspended on four short wooden legs, provides a place on which to rest. It is also the source which produces unshapely masses bulging through a tattered bedcover, sprinkled with holes, which even in winter is warm. The drab, dusty couch in a scarcely visible corner would be able to tell many stories if it could talk. A moth-eaten, solitary suit hangs in the doorless cupboard. A dirty basin shows cockroaches, and small, slender spiders with their fragile skeletons amongst thickly woven webs. Occasionally a drip of water manages to escape down one of the rusty taps and drop silently into the soft cushion of web below. No apparent bookshelves are present, the daily newspaper appears to be the only source of entertainment for this old man. Deposited at his door each morning, this paper, and a small package of food, sometimes already mauled by the neighbouring cat, keeps him alive. From dawn, till dusk, this scene never changes, and if it did? If the scene of this old man, existing in a room did change, it would make no difference, for society does not forgive. Society is cruel and it radiates around self-love, survival and power. The death of five husbands or fathers or brothers or sons or uncles is not easily forgettable. Is this man ever going to begin to live? No. If he receives a job, he will always be detested, neglected and leered at for what he had done in the past. In a wheelchair this creature shall die. One day he will no longer be the victim of his "inevitable routine". The time will come when his bloodshot eyes will slowly close, and his ears will no longer suffer the sound of human voices. A stifling room will no longer hold a doomed life. Far below the vague lines which distinguish his window from other windows, life will continue. No-one will miss this wretched human, and soon he will be nothing but a bundle of bones in the earth. The sun will rise and set, society will always exist, and the "inevitable routine" will continue ad infinitum. Are we really aware of the intensity of life? No, we are not. This old man was one of many outcasts, but how many? Is it right to never forgive? We too always have our mistakes. Is society as cruel as it appears? Yes, we make it so. We must

remember the socially outcast and poor, and remember that it is our fault that many people are buried in cemeteries. Why do people commit suicide? No, it is not because their brain does not function properly, it is because we bring about their destruction. Frightened, lonely, and outcast they want to die. Would we blame them? We must remember that we are people and nothing else. Andrea Laws, Form V

A View from Clyde Terrace 1948

ISOLATION Despite the implications of the word "gregarious" man is essentially a loner. Even in a room full of people you can feel startlingly alone. There is no overlapping coincidence of thought; no parallel of emotion. Each is held in a vacuum of selfawareness. But, each of us as an entity, is very much subject to the other. Our happiness or despair can, to a certain extent, be effected by the

38

THE CLUTHAN

thoughtfulness or thoughtlessness shown by others. The insufficiency of spoken language to convey our desires and emotions estranges us still more from each other. Each unit is alienated, defeated by the overpowering, crippling silence. People make loud noises in an effort to make others stop and listen. Most of them won't listen . . . those who do listen, do not hear . . . and those who do hear, do not understand. People yawn as you present them with your life-breath. There is no dawning of recognition or empathy . . . you are left cloistered. Perhaps it is a better existence, responsibility for one, not two.

meal we began our full day's hard labour in the classroom. Today it was exceptionally cold. The heaters in both the nursery and the library had gone on strike. Three girls had caught violent pneumonia from sitting in their spares and had dropped dead.

We crawl in our own deep rut towards death. Those who try to mount the sides of their imprisoning rut, topple back into the society of self. The eyes meet then turn away embarrassed; with practised deliberation no contact is made. Clumsy sense forget how to function.

Now I stood among girls who were loading themselves up with the hope of soon digging their teeth into marshmallows, of spreading cheese spread on jatzs and sweetening their supper milk with cocoa — all from their food parcels. I had only one aim: to get my teeth into the remainder of last night's meat and hot water soup. If you didn't get there in time the soup would be bagged and you would be greeted only by greedy faces surrounding jugs of what could have been in your stomach. The dining room seemed as usual with clouds of vapour curling in through the door and girls sitting shoulder to shoulder. Some pushed their way through the tables while others carried plates of skilly. Some spilt their skilly accidentally but this would not be wasted. Doris the maid had a special job — she collected on a sink cloth all the spilt soup. Nobody had known why she was so meticulous until someone saw her wringing the cloth out over one of the large skilly saucepans. The prisoners' soup consisted mainly of the towelling tassels from Doris' cloth.

Friends walk beside each other, unable to reach inside and help; a barrier has set in of not understanding, and not trying to. There are no more words left, laughter becomes hollow and sterile. In vain we smile sweetly and sympathise, but we think only of ourselves. You cannot face the truth, but the truth is here to stay. Forget about me, I have nothing to say. Jillian Stevens, Form VI

ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CLYDE GIRL NARRATOR: As usual, at seven-thirty reveille was sounded by the boisterous, unharmonious clang of the Clyde bell. The intermittent sound barely penetrated the windows on which the ice lay two fingers thick, and it ended almost as soon as it was begun. It was cold and the Clyde prefect was reluctant to go on pressing for long. I sniffed the air, not sensing the usual icicles hanging from my nostrils. The sweet odour of my cell mate's feet wafted gently over the cubicle wall, slid up the icicles and clung to my adenoids. She had not showered. I opened my eyes, it was a new day. I rose, for with the smell of my cell-mate's feet came the pungent odour of my acrid under-arm. I made my way towards the bathroom, (exit. . . enter) The water was cold as usual. Clyde girls never oversleep reveille. They dress immediately. (Clyde girl starts to dress amidst other room-mates snoring) As usual at 7.55 an official inspected — I did not have a hair ribbon and was told to report next morning fully clothed at 7.30 a.m. We were assembled for breakfast. Cold eggs and raw bacon. Soggy toast. After this nourishing

Lunch time arrived slowly. The climax of waiting in the nursery for a letter mounted. I did not get a letter, (girl kicks the heater) I longed for someone to run up and say: "Hey, why don't you go for your parcel? There's one for you." But no one ran up.

Lunch passed quickly and I soon found myself sitting in the classroom dreaming, dreaming of a warm sun and me lying on an inflatable lilo in the middle of a Hawaiian swimming pool sipping fresh pineapple juice and eating marshmallows. On snapping out of my dream I looked out of the window. I was surprised to see a koala once again risking the jail keepers' dogs, swinging from tree to tree snorting. Suddenly, as I knew he would, he fell. Mrs. Vickerson and the dogs were waiting, as always, for this event and the skinny decrepit Mitsy grabbed her opportunity to snap up some food. It was a rather vulgar sight, but koalas of Mount Macedon usually do come to a sad end if they wander close to jail quarters. Besides this it was obvious by the tone of the snorts that it was mating season, thus the koalas became more radical and extreme in their movements. Dinner was four hours away and time dragged. I was completely numbed from toe to scalp from the cold by the end of the second lesson. Oh if only I could get to the nursery heaters — they were off anyway. As I sat, Mrs. Black's voice ran through my head. I suppose you could say it was like music to my ears . . . But that would be false. I felt quite sick. It was actually becoming stuffy in the class-

would find out who they were. The spoons would be returned by morning. At nine o'clock, when the bell sounded for lights out, I rushed to my bed and, true to form, there was a knock on the door, followed by a horde of prefects turning off the lights and checking to see everyone was in bed. If you were caught out of bed after nine, you were subjected to the misery of rising at a quarter to seven and working for an hour, hard labour, in the freezing darkness of the morning. Except for my hockey wounds, today had been a good day. I had received a full ration of money, dinner had been endurable, I had partly defrosted in class, I had witnessed another sad end to a koala and I had been in bed on time. And now, I went to sleep with the happy thought that today had been almost a good day.

room and I was beginning to defrost for the first time in weeks. It was Thursday. After fruit tuck there was hockey and netball practice. I played hockey. Unfortunately I also played in a position relatively close to the right back for the "As" whose movements were rather aggressive, (girl during this has exited and now re-enters, limping.) I gained three generous hits in the shins in that practice, plus a sock in the jaw from two prefects who wouldn't let me tackle them. It was a hard game. Most of the "Bs" came off the field wounded; if not mortally, with at least two limbs out of action. After hockey I lined up for my weekly ration of money to spend on the only decent food for the week — sweet tuck. You have to be especially careful not to step out of line. No talking, swearing, shivering or complaining, or fifty of your sixty cents is confiscated, with no mercy shown by the prefects. I collected it without mishap and went upstairs. Dinner . . . in half an hour . . . what joy! Tonight, boiled scraps of meat (if you were lucky) and hard blocks of vegetable, all floating in a mess of fatty water. After dinner, there was nothing to look forward to except supper which was held weekly in the nursery. Tonight, however, it was found that two spoons were missing and there would be no supper until they were returned. Obviously, girls had been trying to drill holes in their bedroom walls. We

A VISIT TO A CATTLE STATION It was in the land where you can never really make out the horizon but there, staring you in the face it is, amidst crackling heat, and nasty mirages. I was in the sort of mood when I feel like doing nothing but wandering round and finding out new things about this land I had never before encountered, only seen in pictures and heard about from other people. My thickly soled shoes were standing on a thick red dust veined with light gravel. Over to my right

THE CLUTHAN

was the huge strong fence line of a stockyard, silently waiting for its prey like a trap. It was really hot. There was little movement. When the "Missy" of the house did come out to shake a mat or something similar she moved slowly, head down, and it being only occasionally that the son, threeyear-old Michael, moved out of view of his mother, he would waddle to the wire-meshed back door, lazily watch his mother with finger in mouth, and wait for her to come back into the small shady house. Their house was the sort that buzzed with the refrigerator during the day, completely covered with a dank, musty shade, and during the night suspended in the openness of men card players, yelling and smoking under large clumsy lighting in the kitchen — the night was the time to live for these loners. I looked out from the big brimmed felt hat, feeling a bit dizzy from the heat. Through the loosely planted small growth of redgums I watched dust rise like steam from beneath the red slope. I listened. There was no sound as yet. Then the first sound was the chop-chop of a helicopter heavily hovering over the slope. The buffalo appeared. They were rampaging through the low scrub lining the down side of the slope, leaping wildly over the spinifex clumps and kicking up their back heels occasionally. Their noise became easy to distinguish — a trampede sort of sound. I did not feel like watching or helping to count them so I slowly turned round and faced the large entrance of the station. Down beyond the entrance, in a vast stretch, stood a brown humpy-looking shed, part of the corrugated iron flapping over its wall. Inside there sat all the workers eating cold sausages and homemade fruit chutney and not saying much. Two of them sat bent over a newspaper, working out the best bets for Saturday's race meeting one hundred and fifty miles away. Three were pretending to be busy, talking about nothing in particular, scratching their heads. Then there were the "jokesters", four of them, over in a corner, engrossed in petty conversation, chuckling and agreeing with one another all the way. The older one of the group was eating brown, thickly sliced bread, stuffing it full heartedly into this mouth with dirty brown-etched short fingers. He was the real horse-type. The most alert of the group, in his early thirties, was the lassoer. He was slightly evil-looking, looked like he would enjoy working with animals. I turned out of the large gates and slowly walked along a wide empty road, lined with clusters of spinifex and thronging with desert life. If I kept walking a little further I would come to a low hill — more like a mound — where I would see a further horizon. My head was buzzing with the heat as I trudged through the red powdery dust covering the road. On reaching the top I breathed

deeply — there was the faintest breeze and I noticed some thick grey clouds gathering "en masse" in the corner of the horizon from where I was looking. A storm would soon be hovering over the station homestead. There were no longer mirages. The strong heat had become more subtle and everything was suddenly silent, suspended in the thick humidity, as if everything was waiting, silently. I stood still in the breeze and thought. So this is "the Australia" which is so often spoken of, where everyone is scarred with a squint and that certain smile, broad and shrewd. It all made me brim with excitement. The people, all so full of life and character and all so friendly, the land, so vast, open and broad, like the inhabitants' smiles, was indescribable. My mind drifted on the balance of the cooling air. The large sun was lowering, leaving fragments of its brilliance, and life was sustained until dawn. S. Fairthorne, Form V

FREEDOM Freedom has a variety of meanings, for everyone interprets the word in their own way. No one has exactly the same thoughts or ideals as anyone else, as personality has a great deal to do with the way you evaluate things. Yet the word comes up again and again, "Free The Vietnamese", "Negroes Allowed Freedom Of Speech In South Africa", "Convict Freed After Sixty-Five Years". Each time it has been used in a specific meaning. How can one word have such a wide meaning? To me, freedom does not mean being able to do exactly as I wish, but being able to do things without feelings of guilt or fear. I do not want to be completely free because that would mean I would lead a very miserable, solitary existence. I would be "free" of human bonds. It would mean that society would become decadent. No morals or ethics would be left as man would be "free" of any conscience. Society would dissolve because crime and corruption would corrode any moral standings. A criminal could rob someone because there would be no repercussions. It would be an impossibility for man in the near future to be completely free, for man is still dependent on survival. He is incapable of venturing into the unknown without provisions. "I should never have believed that man was so truly the prisoner of the springs and freshets. We take it for granted that a man is able to stride out into the world. We believe that man is free. We never see the cord that binds him to the wells and fountains." (St. Exupery). Still man strives to set himself free of human bondage. He tries to rid himself of

THE CLUTHAN

prejudices and to conquer his pride. Man will not experience complete freedom until he finds true happiness. Happiness within, and around him. "Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered, it is something moulded. These prison walls that this world of trade has built up around us, we can break down. We can still run free, call to our comrades, and marvel to hear once .more, in response to our call, the pathetic shout of the human voice." "What all of us want is to be set free . . . To set man free it is enough that we help one another to realise that there does exist a goal towards which all mankind is striving. Why should we not strive towards that goal together, since it is uniting us all." (St. Exupery). It does not do any harm if occasionally you let yourself go completely. Unfortunately for those few brief moments of ecstasy there is a price. Jane Tims, Form VI

I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING I'm going to discover the world, find things out for myself. I'm going to discover a true identity, to see who I am, and not be someone I have been made out to be. I'm going to do the things that I want to do, and not care about what others might say or think. I'm going to make my own friends, mix with whom I want, without being conscious of the faces of others who look on. I'm going to be myself, different from all the rest. I'm going to leave behind that futile way of life I have led, and change completely. I'm going to start something new, something I have never experienced before. I'm going to meet the type of people whom you only ever read about. I am going to get away from the small minority and join the majority. I'm leaving the minority of people who are all basically the same, thinking along the same lines, doing the same things, wearing the same clothes, all living the same life. I know where I'm going, I'm going into a way of life completely different from before. Katrina Moore, Form VI

LA DANSE The cold wood floors, surrounded by mirrorcovered walls, with stern, yet tired-looking bars. At the end of the room, with her long black shawl, stands the teacher, looking proudly over her palace. Slowly the bars are filled, and the teacher's eyes glow with pleasure when looking at her fine girls. She is worried though, there are a few steps that need improvement before the performance. Her sharp clear voice silences us and for half an hour we do the tiring exercises that enable our bodies to move in any form or character. The sweat pouring from us, we start the last-minute practice for the ballet. Our labour is one of devotion. We work till we are drained of sweat, we concentrate on perfection. The teacher's voice rings out through the stuffy air. Steps are re-done a thousand times and the music is always being interrupted. When the teacher is satisfied with us, we curtsey, applaud the queen in her palace, and depart. Dressing rooms are always cold and bare. This does nothing to help get rid of goosebumps and butterflies in the stomach. The costume right, hairdo and makeup perfect and ballet shoes, the essence of ballet, comfortable and securely fastened. In the gloomy, ghost-like wings, our teacher

kisses us on the cheek and wishes us luck. There are some announcements, a round of applause, and the curtain opens . . . There are so many people, the lights are so bright. Thoughts flash through my mind and are soon gone. My body and mind become one, withdrawn from everything, the stage, the audience, Mum, the people in the wings and life. Things that were reality are unreal and unknown to me. I dance, that is my reality. My soul goes into each character that I portray. The lives of these characters are my reality, which I create by dance. My body seems like a machine after weeks of programming, it can finally perform. The music resembles my teacher telling me what to do, and when. I feel extremely light, as if I am dreaming, but at the same time I am conscious of my performance. In the classroom, dancing is my devotion; on the stage it is my faith and my way of life. The sudden awareness of my surroundings brought about by cheering and clapping and the realization that I and others are a success brought tears to my eyes. Oh, how happy I am when I dance!

UN FEU C'est l'ete. L'herbe est tres seche et longue. II fait du vent, un vent tres orageux et chaud. Les eucalyptus hauts soupirent, lasses et epuises. Leurs feuillages fletrissent. Une lassitude inonde l'ambiance. A peine visible sur l'horizon apparatt une brume de fumee. En meme temps une nuee d'oiseaux affreux traverse le ciel a toute vitesse. Une odeur vague de fumee vient avec eux. La brume s'avance de plus en plus vite. Elle devient rouge-orange frangee de noir. Les flammes sautent de plus en plus en haut et elles augmentent pendant que le'herbe succombe a leurs faims insatiables. Le feu gagne les arbres. Les feuilles disparaissent immediatement mais les branches essaient cette etriente finale. Elles gemissent de'agonie mais le feu embrase persiste impitoyablement. L'air est plein de debacles vaincues. Une fumee noire se gonfle vers le ciel, annoncant a Dieu la triomphe des feux d'enfer. Les cendres intertes sont precipitees comme un vrai orage de neige grise. Mais, grace a Dieu, il y a une grande riviere dans le sender du feu. Elle rit de ses fonds froids. Elle n'a pas peur. Le feu s'avance de plus en plus pres. Les branches briilantes du hautfourneau tombent dans l'eau. Elles font des explosions devapeur et le feu s'enfruit au bord de l'eau. La plaine est toute noire. Les arbres sont morts, le vie a disparue jusqu'a la derniere chute de pluie sur la terre. L'herbe poussera de nouveau, mais les arbres? Peut-etre qu'ils ne pousseront jamais.

A kaleidoscope of multiple colours Reiterates before closed eyes. I visualise sun, glowing, yet stark; Cold, forlorn against a hazy backdrop. A moon appears of difference, So different, I tremble. The unknown laid before me. Drifting through melancholy, through temptation Of dying amidst stillness and peaceful serenity That I am experiencing. Or is it just a type of exotic dream Floating me to Utopia? (An uncomplicated heaven, past human controversies). Is my love my 'not hating'? A chiaroscuro of dimness, Bounded by oneself to live? Fulfil a character I am supposed to resemble? Filling a blank personality on pretence of being individual? Me? A social commodity, Like golden canaries in a gilded bird cage, We are desperately trying to escape, Rid our minds of evolution of colour, of life. As the kaleidoscope rotates Plunging me, us, further into complexity Of the haunting pattern of existence. Do I know a reality? Or is it just being as high as the pious heaven allows? Or the formula of birth, life and death, placed before me? Whether I follow — When I follow is my decision. You. It is yours. But, together we must rise triumphantly in our world In everything one strives for and against, Playing on a time that waits for no-one, No-one, not even me.

Gently seeping, Growing, rearing, Playing with the tree-tops, Tugging at the languid branches Then dancing away. White infusion of clear cold Wrapped around our world. The mist my guardian of the outside world, Symbolic of cold, damp, rain. But how we have grown to love it! For when it is no more, Our thoughts will return again To our home upon the misty mountain: Ours, the snow and rain! The eucalypts, Soft towers of green, Pungent, acrid to our noses. The virginal morning, The sun glinting on dew-soaked leaves. Kookaburras darting through patches of light and shadow, Bird calls announce the frosty morn. Ours to remember — Those cherished moments of happiness Whose clarity is unmistakable. The gifts we take for granted Will soon be swept to memories Yet these must be cherished For the experiences of Clyde are unique, Only very few people know the way we feel.

CLYDE IN RETROSPECT Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Life at Clyde in 1922, as I remember it, was gloriously uncomplicated, there were few motor cars, no transistors, no television, and the teenage image had not yet taken shape. We were a happy bunch of enthusiastic unglamorous and unsophisticated girls revelling in our good fortune in being at school in the country — the town girls thrilled by the new experience, and the country girls more at home than if they'd been at school in town. Almost all the girls travelled to school by the train and I think we were much better off than if we'd travelled by private car, because even the new girls immediately became interested and involved with each other and the communication lines ran hot with talk of the highlights of our holidays, and the trip was all too short. But the best part of the journey was to come. From the station to the school with the original Mr. South was a most exhilarating introduction to Clyde. I imagine he must have had some motor cars, but I can only remember the thrill of being driven up the mountain with him urging his horses over a very rough track, and negotiating the old hair raising Hairpin Bend with great verve and whipping up the horses for a final dash down the straight to the Terrace. I cannot remember being at all impressed by the outside of the House but on arrival I was bowled over by the surroundings, that first sensation of joyous wonderment in the beauty of the bush around that mountain is something which has stayed with me all my life, and has been at the core of my enduring love for Clyde. The inside of the house always had a friendly atmosphere, a legacy from the happy holidays many families had at Braemar before it was taken over by the school, an atmosphere which over 50 years has grown into something very special. The beds and bedding by today's standards were deplorable but perfectly adequate, for those of us who slept under an open window or on the poorly protected upstairs front verandah there were times when the mountain mists rolled around us and on frosty mornings the outer bedclothes crackled when we stirred. No one seemed to come to harm, and we thought it rather admirable to endure and survive such rugged conditions. The bathrooms, shower rooms and lavatories were nearly all rather primitive and places to be in and out of as quickly as possible, but after all, we were at Boarding School and lucky to be there, and we didn't expect to have the amenities now considered essential. I doubt if much knowledge of dietetics came into the planning of our food, but we were always starving by meal times, and as they generally satisfied us they were probably sufficiently nourishing

47

and woe betide anyone who dared to criticise the food. In that era, all our activities other than sport, were contained in much closer bounds than exist today and were centred around the House proper. The Nursery was used for almost everything that went on. Starting with Assembly, it pullulated with comings and goings all day long. Between Assembly and morning tea time, it had a breathing space except on laundry days when the room was clogged with the laundry baskets. The nature of between meals refreshment has probably not changed much, in those days it consisted of a hot drink and bread and invariably raspberry or gooseberry jam •— filling but uninviting. After that the Nursery was frequently used for drill and it was there that we gathered before and after lunch, and for the Juniors it was their only warm living space before and after Dinner. The gorgeous big fires were life savers. At special times the Drawing room and Hall were open to all but a slightly different demeanour was expected in those areas which were so close to Miss Henderson's Study. To complete the description of life lived in the Nursery, one has to remember that it was the only place for dancing classes and House Entertainments. How the linoleum stood up to such use is a mystery. In those early days there was no proper sports field, and we had to run down to the bottom of the golf links for our hockey on a sloping and uneven paddock, and for baseball an even longer trek to another uneven fairway beyond "Waterloo". The old basketball court by the house was constantly in use as were the two tennis courts, again some distance away, if you were sport inclined you ran about from one area to another in an attempt to play two games in the one afternoon. Looking back I realise that I got more than my fair share of games and I also managed to hog the best pianos for early practise by sneaking a shower before the early calling House Mistress started her rounds at 5.30. Selfish as this was I'm eternally grateful that I learnt the advantage of being an early riser. Church Services were held in the front hall and more often than not it was freezing. We preferred the Presbyterian Service because it was held in the morning and gave us a lovely long day of freedom. In good weather it was our delight to lie out on the slopes of the front terrace reading, writing and sketching, and eating whatever tuck we'd been able to save up over the week, or bad weekends there were our walks to our favourite haunts, either to "Lavender Farm", Boytah, or Mrs. McCullough where we could enjoy a cosy small room and eats for which we saved up our meagre pocket money. For most of us the weekends varied little. Parents visited rarely, we went home only once during term time, it was not considered necessary or particularly

48

THE CLUTHAN

desirable to see them as often as it is today. Besides cars were not so common, and we travelled only occasionally to Melbourne which in term time was a world away and it was for that reason indeed that Clyde had moved to the mountain. I cannot remember if we made our thrilling excursions to Melbourne for matches in 1922, but certainly a little later the great excitement was the glorious occasional expedition to various Melbourne schools when we played three different games in one day with more enthusiasm than skill. This was I suppose the origin of the now traditional Pennant Matches. It was my great good fortune to start at Clyde in the last year of Miss Henderson's illustrious reign, and although I was only 13 years old at that time, I respected and admired her enormously. She had an Olympian presence and it would never have occurred to me to be even faintly critical of her judgement. I never again stood in such awe of my Elders and Betters, and as for the rest of the teaching Staff, the fact that most of them lived in did give the house a certain air of homeliness and security and we gained a great deal from their example and influence which was a very important part of our education. Allowing for the enchantment which distance lends to the best experiences in our lifetime, 1922 really stands out as the year that was for me the happiest of my early youth.

THE HISTORY OF CLYDE SCHOOL The history of a school community involves memories, buildings, its friends and its ethics. All are difficult to record in any brief form. Closely associated with gum trees, possums, koalas, and an isolated location, Clyde in fact was born in the city. Faireleight, Alma Road, St. Kilda was home for the first Clyde girls led by the founding headmistress, Miss Isabel Henderson. January 20th, 1910 was the birthday of Town Clyde. With insight and courage, Miss Henderson pondered on the distractions of the city then decided to remove her charges. A new era began in 1919 when the school moved to Braemar House on the western slopes of Mt. Macedon. Miss Henderson purchased the property from the Honourable William Knox and Country Clyde was born. A cottage with four rooms improvised as the first classrooms while the main house was home. Furniture brought from Town Clyde found new life and initial accommodation catered for eighty girls, allowing the family atmosphere which became characteristic of the school throughout its history. The school was purchased by a company from Miss Henderson to ensure the continuity of Clyde in 1921. The Company comprised Old Girls and friends of the school acting under the name Clyde

Girls' Grammar School. Miss Henderson remained headmistress until her retirement in 1922. The following headmistresses of Clyde, Miss Tucker (1923-1936); Miss Hay (1937-1959); Miss Montgomery (1960-1968), and presently Mrs. A. G. Pringle have all continued the traditions of Clyde. Progress depended heavily on the support of the Clyde Old Girls' Association. It financed the School Hall, completed in 1934, and this became the centre of multitudinous activities. The World Economic Depression left its mark on enrolments, but two new classrooms were completed in 1935, and the Log Cabin commenced in 1938 being built as far as possible by the girls themselves. During World War 2 Clyde spotters took their turn at the watch in the tower while a small swimming pool was built in 1940, gradually becoming more refined with a filtration plant in 1964. Response to a building appeal in 1949 was generous allowing for added facilities for drama, domestic science, and extra-curricular art. The school's lofty position and 172 acres enjoyed the addition of boarding facilities for seniors and staff as a memorial to the women of the Commonwealth who died in the two World Wars. The Memorial Building was opened on February 23, 1957. Other buildings began to climb the slope. New specialist rooms for art and craft and dressmaking were completed in 1962. The Memorial Library to Miss Henderson was opened on April 1, by the Honourable J. C. Gorton. New science laboratories and classrooms followed. Despite modernising of bedroom facilities, the main building has many features well suited to encourage the imagination, and most Clyde girls have definite feelings about the ghost who walks in the tower, and have meticulous memories of where they slept, learnt and played. Such memories were highlighted in the Jubilee Celebration of 1969. Both Town and Country Clyde students have worn their uniforms with pride. The most distinctive garment is the blazer, with its Gothic 'C\ and motto on the pocket, and tan leather binding. Initially the blazer was a coveted award but now awards are shown as additions to the pocket. Although initially and traditionally a boarding school, day students were made welcome from 1962. They have contributed much to the school, but have never reached a proportion higher than one in sixteen. They have been encouraged to become fully involved in the classroom and in all extra-curricular activities. Despite the comparatively small size of the school, the house and prefect systems have operated vigorously. The names Braemar, Clutha, Ingleton and Faireleight evoke memories for all. From the school's beginning the emphasis has been placed on student responsibility for directing activities.

THE CLUTHAN

Sport has of course played an important part in the life of the Clyde Girl, and the sports field became a reality between 1923-1926. Music and drama have been highlights of Clyde's experience but the House Entertainments (mostly in the form of a review) in their ribaldry and fun typify much of what is Clyde. The motto, Spectemur Agendo, was chosen in 1910 — "Let us be judged by our acts". An interdenominational school, Christian values have been upheld with alternating Presbyterian and Anglican services held at the school. Many students have been confirmed at the local parish. In recent years, a small group of girls has attended the Roman Catholic Church. Our memorabilia includes honour boards revealing the contribution of Clyde students to the school and the community. Decorations for service are matched by University honours from 1919, and range from Victorian Universities to B. Ss. Ed. Ohio, M.A. Oxford and PhD. Cambridge. This has fulfilled the dreams of the founding headmistress. G. R. Reid, Archives.

THE HEADMISTRESS'S REPORT Entered In The First Cluthan, 1914. CLYDE . . . It has fallen to me to be asked to write a brief history of the short, but very rapid, development of Clyde, the school of which, I think, we might be pardoned for being very proud. On January 20th, 1910, I entered into possession of "Faireleight", having taken over that very wellknown and long-established school from Miss Chambers, who, after many years of strenuous and successful work as Head of "Faireleight", had decided to retire altogether from scholastic life. After much careful thought we decided to call the school Clyde and retain the name "Faireleight" for the boarding house only. In Victoria, by a wise law, every building has nowadays to be approved by the Board of Health before a school can be carried on in it, and when a school changes hands, as did "Faireleight", the Board of Health swoops down and insists on all manner of new and modern rules for light, ventilation, etc., being carried out. For our numbers, Faireleight House was altogether inadequate, and we had to take the villa next door in order, at first, to accommodate our boarders, and later on to be converted into the school-house it now is. It would be very difficult for any girl now at Clyde to realise the great amount of alteration which was necessary before Clyde was declared by the Board of Health as in all ways fit for a school building. The present assembly room was in the days when "Faireleight" was the schoolhouse and Clyde the overflow, divided into one long room on the west side and three very small rooms on the east,

49

between these a minute vestibule where Mons. Bibron held his dancing class — fortunately for us this class was not the size it now is, else I'm afraid the space would have been all too small in which to learn how "to trip it on the light fantastic toe". Our present Senior VI room was in those days divided into two, a small bedroom lighted only by a skylight, and a bathroom. In the present Vb room, four girls slept, Mabel Johnston, Tara Vandeleur, Helen Barbour, and Fanny Holmes, and in the IVa room Dorothy Watson and Edith McLaurin. Days of makeshift were those, but all went very merrily. This year during which this transformation of Clyde from a peaceful villa into a restless and busy school was one of the greatest discomfort to the dwellers at "Faireleight". Only at night, when we were safely tucked up in bed, was there any comfort or rest at all. In the daytime: One looks back now and wonders how it was at all possible to go steadily on with our school work under such difficulties. In the present dining-room were two very large classes, separated from one another by a partition which served only to prevent one class from seeing the other. Soundproof it was not. All the jokes and woes of one class were clearly heard by the other, but with that strange honor that exists among schoolgirls, these two classes never let it be known what they heard, at least they did not let us teachers know. The teachers who could clearly hear each other, suffered as only a teacher in a like case can. The vestibule was a great possession for us much too numerous folk. In it five tables with possibly ten or twelve persons at each, gave anything but generous room for a classroom by school day, a dining room and study for the other times. A merry and good-natured party we were at dinner too, and cramped as we were, I fancy we spilt our water and tea less often than the more fortunate — as far as space goes — young dames of today. Classes were held in every available corner of "Faireleight" at that time, even on the landing upstairs you might find a harassed teacher working hard with a small number of disciples sitting at her feet, and I remember well one very small room in which it was quite impossible to get both the teacher and the blackboard in at the same time, and when the teacher was safely in and the door shut she had but a very small passage in which to range up and down as teachers must sometimes do as relief to their worked-up feelings. We teachers look back to that time with affection and gratitude to the girls who, in spite of all the drawbacks and discomforts, worked away steadily, doing their best to make things go smoothly. Had the girls wished, school in those days would have been a dreary business. As it was, I think we all, teachers and girls, rather enjoyed the year. Nevertheless, we were very pleased and proud

when, in October, 1910, we were able to cast off the "scholastic" garments out of which we had so entirely grown and spread ourselves comfortably out into the new school-house. We fill Clyde completely now, and the girls of today will tell you they work just as hard and just as well as those lucky beggars who used to have such glorious fun trying to stow themselves into rooms just about half as big as they required. When Clyde was first given over to the workmen, the girls who slept there were moved over to "St. Andrew's", a villa in Fulton Street, which was reached from "Faireleight" by a pathway through the laundry yard. A gate in the fence still shows to the enquiring mind the way over to "St. Andrew". By day this way was alright, but by night it was a very perilous path indeed, and many a fall, I wot, the teachers and girls had on those numerous night journeys. Indeed, we remember well ourself tumbling headlong into a newly-dug hole on one such journey, and sincerely grateful we were for the kindly dark which hid our undignified fall so completely. In April, 1912, "St. Andrew's" also became too small for our ever increasing numbers, and once more we flitted, this time to "Ingleton", which we leased from the late Mrs. Hurry during her absence in Europe. On her return, we were again compelled to seek new pastures. For six weeks our overflow house was a mile away from the school, but with a wonderful good nature teachers and girls (with perhaps one exception) did this tramp morning and night without complaint. At the end of this time we settled down once more, in "Narrara", the large red house three doors above "Faireleight". Comfortable as it was in many ways, "Narrara" did not quite satisfy us, and, when "Ingleton" again offered itself, we decided to purchase the property and alter the house to suit our requirements. We thought by this to confine ourselves to two boarding houses, but whispers are abroad that yet another house is to be taken. True, it is to be taken, not so much that we may increase our numbers, but rather that we may have more rooms available for music lessons and practice. The new house is to be called Clutha, and it is likely that "the 11.00 rush" will be towards it and not, as it is at present, to "Faireleight". So much for the very brief outline of the history of Clyde. Of its progress as a school it is not for me to write. That we are proud of our school it's true, but to boast of what we are and what we do is neither a profitable nor a right thing to do. We try in our little corner of the world to do our best, and to act always as we think best, despite many errors and failures. "Spectemur Agendo"—let us be known by our acts. I hope the Clyde girls will always remember their school motto, and wherever they may be act so that no disgrace or disrepute will ever come to the school. I. Henderson

HISTORY OF THE PENNANT Country Clyde first began playing matches against Toorak College in 1914. It seems that these matches involved one sport only as travelling and the time involved handicapped them a great deal. These matches were not confined to a specific term, as they are now; instead they were played whenever a challenge was issued or when the weather was suitable. In 1930, Clyde, Toorak and Ruyton joined to form an Association in which each team played each other in all four sports, the winner receiving a cup. By now, they had reorganised their matches so that Baseball and Tennis were played in first and third terms, and Hockey and Netball in second term. Clyde also played many other schools, and, as it was mentioned, "it helped them tremendously". It was from 1936 onwards that the Clyde-Toorak matches were referred to as the Pennant. Any person who has played in a Pennant match will agree that the atmosphere on that day is unlike any other. It is a great achievement to win a Pennant match, and if you lose it, it makes you more determined to win the next time. The Pennant involves much more than just playing a match. Everyone loves the following feast, the reception in the front hall, and all the little things which make this day exceptional. The sportsmanship and enthusiasm has remained and helps make the Pennant matches even more memorable and enjoyable. There is no definite information available at the moment which would enable me to reassure anyone of the continuation of the Pennant matches; but I hope that anyone who has the ability and the privilege of playing in a Pennant match will try their hardest to uphold the good standard of Clyde. Catherine Richardson, Sports Captain.

CLUTHAN Extracts Taken From The First Cluthan. EDITORIAL . . Clyde has now entered upon its fifth year, and its numbers have increased to over one hundred and eighty girls. For some time we have felt that, like other schools, we would like to have our school paper, a periodical which would reflect the life of the school and prove of interest to both past and present girls. We have pleasure in presenting this our first number. The objects of such a paper will be readily appreciated. Now that the list of Old Girls is increasing — the number this year being between eighty and ninety — some means is needed of keep-

THE CLUTHAN

ing them in close connection with the school. Many live in the country, some in other States, and a few have either temporarily or indefinitely left Australia. It is only a limited number that is able to visit the school twice a year when the meetings of Old Girls are held, and though many of the Old Girls who do not live in Melbourne come to Clyde when they are in town, there still remains a considerable number who, except by chance, may not hear any news of the school, or of the Old Girls. The school paper, then, will provide a means of supplying them with regular news, not only of the current happenings of their school, but also of their own Association, whose meeting they may have been unable to attend. The proposal to start a paper was agreed to by the March meeting of Old Girls, and it is hoped that they will individually, as well as collectively, realise their responsibility with regard to the paper. The greater part of the paper will probably be supplied by the Present Girls, but the Old Girls will be looked to for their part also. News of girls at home and abroad, reports of meetings, results of matches, and finally, original papers from Old Girls will be most gladly received. These last we trust will come in often and unsolicited. Letters, essays, stories, accounts of travel, suggestions for the paper, matter in every form will, it is hoped, fall like rain upon a drought-stricken editor. With regard to tne present school, the paper will act as a register of daily events, Form Notes, Sports, the Dramatic Club, the Library, the House News, the Reading Circle, our entertainments, and any items of interest will be set forth in the paper. Present Girls, too, are exhorted to bear their end of the log. Mere entries and bald accounts of matches will not make the paper interesting. If this is all it is to have, its life will be short. Girls must show their interest in it in more ways than by taking the paper. Like the Old Girls, they will be called upon to send in papers and to undertake to see that there is material for each issue. The name of the paper, "The Cluthan" was agreed upon by a vote given by each form, the decision being practically unanimous. It must be explained that Clutha was the ancient historical name for Clyde, and as the name Clyde itself proved too stubborn and inflexible for the formation of a name, the softer and more amenable name of Clutha was chosen to represent it. It was also proposed that Clyde Old Girls should call themselves "Cluthans". We hope that the "Cluthan" will meet with a friendly reception, and also that its readers in the next issue will give utterance to their criticism of it. We will gladly receive suggestions for the better production of the paper which, as we all realise, belongs to and depends upon the efforts of the whole school. Dorothy Watson, May 1914.

THREE GENERATIONS OF CLYDE IN RETROSPECT I first went to Clyde as a boarder in 1916. The school was then at Alma Road, St. Kilda and we led a very quiet life. Outings were few and when we all went out, we walked in a "crocodile". Two girls abreast with Mistresses walking beside to see we all kept in line. The senior girls wore long, flowing skirts to the ankles and they were treated with great respect by the Juniors. No one was allowed out till late unless correctly dressed in hat, gloves, and the regulation coat and skirt. Later we moved to Woodend where many restrictions were relaxed and we loved the freedom. Compared to the school today, it was rather primitive, especially the hot water service which only lasted for about three showers and then ran icy cold. The road was unmade, and Mr. South, with his horse-drawn vehicles often had trouble getting through the mud. When it was very bad, he would get out to save the horses. My greatest memory of Clyde is of one headmistress, Miss Henderson. She was a magnificent woman, loved and respected by everyone. She was the true spirit of Clyde. Since then, my daughter and two grand-daughters have followed on at the school. I have gone back frequently and seen great changes, all good. This last great change when Clyde comes down from the mountain is a sad one, but I feel sure the old traditions will continue. They have been there too long to be forgotten. Jean Withers (Brown). Five of my eight years at Clyde were war years, and we saw the school change immeasurably due to war restrictions — no longer were we young ladies to be waited upon. We soon learnt to shell bags of peas in the nursery, peel potatoes in the kitchen — face mountains of washing-up and bear the brunt of "Chef's" wrath when high spirits sent water sloshing in his domain. They were different times for the staff more than girls and a kaleidoscope of memories pass through one's mind of plane spotting from the tower, spare minutes spent making camouflage nets that lined the covered-in way below the front terrace turned to vegetable gardens where enthusiastic but unskilled gardeners could only produce radishes, hands torn from pulling bracken . . . something no generation has escaped. Then victory in Europe and a mad scramble down the mountain to the monument in Woodend, where with all the traffic stopped, we stood in thanksgiving with all the clergy and townspeople. Finally Japan surrendered and we gradually returned to normal — no more butter and sugar rationing, or dresses made from tablecloth or jersey (no coupons). Miss Hamilton found it easier to cope — although she always did, and Sister continued to

tend our real or imagined ills. Miss Hay emerged through the change, to shape the school into much as it stands today, and hopefully, now these traditions will carry on in the new surroundings in the future. Joan Sargood (Withers) This essay I am finding hard to write. It is hard to put on paper the results of six years at Clyde, 1966-1972. Clyde had a unique beauty, which was there in my mother's day and my grandmother's day, and still remained in mine: and that was its size. It has a beauty that no other school possesses, and Clyde's situation on Mount Macedon adds solitude to its small size. The thing that impresses me about Clyde is the fact that no matter who you are, where you come from or what you think, you are very smartly taught how to get along with and how to treat other people. There is no room for intolerance or prejudice, as one is always in a small room with no means of escape from reprisals. Sport held a major role in the lives of all at Clyde, and promoted wonderful teamwork, which is something most Clyde girls continue to show throughout the rest of their lives. Sport was played every afternoon and when we were Juniors, every Saturday and Sunday. The enthusiasm seems to have dropped a little since then. On leaving Clyde, I would like to think we were mature, well-balanced adults. One thing I'm sure of is we had a good education with most of us leaving school with a Matric Certificate, if not that, a Leaving one. When leaving Clyde, one felt sad to be leaving a home, but we were sure that we had been taught to cope with whatever was to come. Susan Buller (Sargood).

DID YOU KNOW? (Extracts from Old Cluthans) . . . that every girl in the Intermediate, Leaving or Matriculation classes, who had had her 16th birthday was eligible for nomination, on the principle of an election for Parliament i.e. any person who is over 21, who is neither a criminal or a lunatic, may stand for Parliament. . . . marks were given for class work in every subject each week; at the end of the week they were totalled by the form mistresses. Girls who, on average, achieved 80%, and they were few, were said to be in 'A'; 70% — 'B', 50-60% — ' C , and less than that 'D'. Allowances for sickness and absence were made. If a girl received a detention for unsatisfactory behaviour, 10% of her marks were deducted. The list of marks was read each Monday morning, in assembly.

Miss Henderson believed that it was possible for each girl to achieve a certain standard of behaviour that included politeness, punctuality, neatness and quietness. If a boarder did not reach this standard, she was said to be 'Off-Honours'. Each Monday night in prayers, Miss Henderson read out the names of girls who were 'On-Honours'. One drew attention to those who had succeeded, not to those who had failed. . . . that birthday parties for the Juniors at Clyde were started by Miss Tucker, in 1923, and were a very welcome innovation. They were never allowed to become elaborate, and later only one table was decorated and the hostess could only invite seven guests. The Juniors enjoyed themselves and had the responsibility of acting as hostesses. . . . in 1955, the three Senior forms inaugurated the first dance ever given at Clyde. Boys from Melbourne Grammar School, Scotch College and Geelong Grammar School were invited. . . . that "Home Reading", which was introduced by Miss Henderson, meant that girls had to read at least one book chosen by Miss Henderson each term, and examinations were given to find out what benefits the girls received from the reading. This idea of reading various books as part of the English syllabus is now quite usual, but then it was quite new. It was the responsibility of each girl to read the books in her leisure time, and for many girls, these copies of "Home Reading" books became the nucleus of their own library. . . . that because of isolation, the school arranged with Mr. South a contract to provide transport between Clyde and Woodend; he guaranteed to have a 24 hour service available and to provide transport in any emergency. To this contract he kept faithfully for forty years; only once did an intending passenger miss a train and never once did he have an accident. . . . that Clyde was connected with Yallourn for electric light in 1929, ten years after the move to Braemar House. . . . that in 1936, Miss Mathieson chose the design for the blackwood chairs now in the dining room. These were added to the eighty Vienna chairs already there. Before Braemar House became Clyde and the House was still in Melbourne, a specially built room was added to the main building. From there on it was used as a billiard room. There was a full-sized billiard table with all accessories placed inside and in 1898, a licence was obtained allowing them to use it. When Clyde moved to Mt. Macedon, there was quite a mystery as to where the table had gone, and as far as we know, it is still missing.

MRS. HURLE After a year's retirement, which was too irksome for one who liked to be busy and useful, Mrs. Hurle came to Clyde as Manageress in 1963. She quickly fitted in and was loved and appreciated by both staff and girls. She had an indomitable spirit and a delightful sense of humour neither of which ever deserted her either in crises in the house or when she suffered intense pain, as she did for many years. Her motto was "Life must go on" and though, at times, even walking was difficult, she carried on uncomplainingly; even taking over the kitchen at night when the staff had gone home, and making pavlovas for the girls' final Christmas dinner. There was general consternation when we learned in May, 1974, that she was forced by illhealth to leave us, but we wished her well and hoped that she would have a long and happy retirement in Sydney. We were shocked and saddened when we heard in April, 1975, that she had died suddenly at her home. Mary Brisbane

CO-EDUCATIONAL CLYDE Clyde co-ed is really great. It's really good with only 'Mick' and I, although there used to be Hamish too. It's also pretty good having all the girls around; most of them are pretty nice to us, so we are pretty nice back to them. The sports activities are great — I've never been surrounded by so many different pieces of equipment like the footy, baseball, hockey, discus, javelin and especially the trampoline. It's really fun when you stay overnight at Clyde. I think having our lunch at a table in the dining room is a very good idea: it teaches you how to have good manners at the table, and also beats a cut lunch, or fish 'n' chips by far. The excursion we went on while the school hop was on was a film called 'Airport'. It was terrific. I think Clyde co-ed is great. Jonathon Wells Form I

THE AMALGAMATION Clyde is making its second move since it began. But this time Clyde will be a part of a big school, not on its own. On Sunday 27th April we arrived back from visiting Sunday to be greeted by several rumours about Clyde and Geelong Grammar. Up in our matric cot, believing, half-believing and hopefully not having to believe, we became more and more

53

concerned about the school's future. Before letting the situation get too out of hand we made our way down to Mrs. Pringle's office in hope that the rumours were false. Once inside Mrs. Pringle's office we waited expectantly to be told what was happening. Our fears were confirmed. Clyde was amalgamating with the Hermitage and Geelong Grammar. Amidst the tears and sniffling we asked Mrs. Pringle questions regarding the amalgamation: "When was the move first decided and confirmed? Will a new building be built? What will the new building be called? Which girls will be able to go into Clyde House? What will happen to the present mistresses at Clyde? What will happen to our present school buildings?" Mrs. Pringle answered our questions to the best of her knowledge at that early stage. Back in the cot with the help of toast and coffee, we gradually overcame the initial shock of the announcement. Monday morning, 28th April, we had a slightly altered assembly. Following the reading and prayer the two school songs were sung with tremulous voices; but in the hope that Clyde spirit would continue. The matrics especially were concerned about their ties with Clyde for the future: "We won't be able to come back and visit the kids here, we will have to go down to a new place, where our faces will hardly mean a thing." The inevitable press coverage did little to help the situation. This Day Tonight arrived and interviewed Mrs. Pringle and three of the senior girls. The 1975 matrics' hope that the girls going down to Geelong will cherish their uniforms, the traditions, but most of all, "The School we handed on". By Jane Douglas

PREFECTS v. STAFF MATCH Wednesday, 7th May was the date set for "the" match. After a lengthy preparation, the prefects appeared dressed as an American Ball Team. The staff appeared in various outfits. There was our dolly. Miss McCaffrey, in her Camel advertisement and sports uniform. Miss Owen showed her British patriotism by decking herself out in the British flag and a safari hat, despite the lack of Indian sun! The scorer, Miss Brisbane, was a pseudo-schoolgirl with long plaits and carrying some dead flowers. We cannot forget Madame, portraying "Little Red Riding Hood", nor Miss Wood complete with white wig and jumper. Mr. Robinson showed his support for the St. Kilda football club but agreed to play baseball. The rest of the staff looked equally as delightful in sports tunics and various other accessories. Leading the staff, the Head in topper and tails escorted by her husband, the Scot! The match swung into action after numerous budding photographers had swamped the field, close to 11 a.m. with the prefects batting first. Our batting was stylish but somewhat erratic. Mr. Wilson pitched with his usual finesse. Having made contact with the ball, the challenge was to make it around the bases. Presenting problems on second base was none other than Mrs. Blackburn, aided by her colleague, Mrs. Armstrong, when she had a particularly difficult problem. Having reached second base, Mrs. Blackburn promptly pounced, flattening

the exhausted prefect and everyone else who was running about under her feet! When she tired of this trick, she resorted to throwing the base to the nearest member of staff and grabbed the unsuspecting prefect around the waist. Having survived the ordeal on second base, and made it home, we received a half-run, so the staff would not be embarrassed by too large a difference in final scores. Without over-exerting themselves they managed to get three out. After the prefects had refreshed themselves, we ran onto the field in style. The staff were ready for action and wasted no time in showing their potential. Each time they made it around the bases they gained two runs. (This later jumped to four for fear of defeat!) Mrs. Pringle and Miss Batterham showed their batting abilities — together — while the rest of the staff swamped the field in an attempt to run around the bases. This raised their score considerably but did not dampen the prefects' spirits. After all the excitement on the field, Mr. and Mrs. Pringle left in a well-built carriage, driven by George and Neil. Not to be outdone by the other staff. Mrs. Pringle appeared for lunch dressed in silk knicker-bockers and cap. topped with a sports tunic. Our thanks to all the staff for their good sportsmanship and sense of humour displayed throughout the match. We hope you and all the spectators enjoyed it as much as we did. Patricia Young

ARCHERY We were fortunate to have the help of Miss Thomson, an ex-captain and champion. The House Archery was won by Braemar, the best score being made by Catherine Richardson. The School Championship was won by Deborah Richardson for the second year in succession. Catherine Richardson came second and Andrea Laws third. 'Mr. Colman RIDING Over the years that girls have spent at Clyde, Woodend, we have had the advantage of being able to ride at Braemar Park under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Faulkner. Many girls have kept their horses at Braemar Park and have been able to enjoy weekly treks around the mountain and lessons in equitation. The Faulkners have been very kind in taking Clyde girls to various local gymkanas and cross country events. All the girls of Clyde appreciate the work the Faulkners have done over the years and extend their sincere thanks. Long will we remember those riding barbecues and that unforgettable chocolate cake.

BASEBALL We had a very successful and enjoyable term of baseball this year. Mrs. Foletta organised many matches for us and the amount of practising was considerable which ultimately produced excellent results from all teams. Heather Dalrymple, Rosalyn Devilee, Sandra Baxter and Amanda Gubbins did wonderful jobs as leaders of the Senior Bs, Junior As, Junior Bs and Under 13s teams respectively. Alexandra Sloan, Belinda Crosby, Jennifer Farley were new members to the Senior A's this year and they, along with the two reserves, Fiona Cookson and Juliet Potts, and the rest of the team, were extremely co-operative and enthusiastic. Toorak College hosted the Pennant this year. The playing times of the Baseball and Tennis were changed. The Baseball was played in the morning and the Tennis was in the afternoon, providing the girls playing in both matches with a good rest. Unfortunately we lost the Pennant which was disappointing but we hope to see the cup back next

year. Miss Thomson was extremely kind in helping us to prepare for all matches. An example of her training: she would line us up between two bases and fire balls at us at any time. Although it made our knees wobble, it developed our reflexes very well. Miss Thompson was encouraging and helpful and we could not have done as well as we did without her. Katrina and I are very grateful to her. The awards for Baseball were high, which indicates the standard and team effort shown by all members. Lettering was given to Belinda Crosby, Susan Hendy, Jennifer Farley, Alexandra Sloan and Fiona Cookson. Belinda Crosby, Jennifer Farley, Alexandra Sloan, Susan Hendy, Deborah Richardson and Fiona Cookson were all awarded white jumpers. Half colours were awarded to Janette Starbuck, Jane Douglas and Katrina Moore and full colours were given to Catherine Richardson. The House Baseball was won by Braemar and the form Baseball by "Mighty Matric". I would like to thank my vice-captain for her unfailing assist-

HOCKEY The 1975 hockey season began with great enthusiasm and excitement. We were very fortunate to have Miss Newson back, to whom we owe most of our success. We would also like to thank Mrs. Foletta for helping us. We welcomed back six of the previous year's team: Rosalind Ritchie, Catherine Richardson, Anna McGregor, Susan Hendy, Janette Starbuck and Jane Douglas. We were pleased to receive five new members into the team — Christina Campbell. Heather Dalrymple, Deborah Richardson, Patricia Young, and Katherine Schlicht. The team's enthusiasm was boosted by the success of our wins in the first set of matches. We owe our wins to many hours of practice in stickwork and practice matches with the Senior Seconds who were a great help. We would like to thank ihem. for we are proud to say that in the majority of the matches we played we were undefeated. The 26th of July was the date set for the Pennant. It was held once again at P.L.C. who kindly gave us the use of their field. Clyde put up a hard battle against Toorak College who took the cup with the score of 2-1. This was a great disappointment for Clyde, but it may inspire the next team at Corio to give Toorak College an even harder battle and finally take the cup. The Frensham weekend was one never to be forgottten. We departed from Tullamarine on the 27th of June and arrived at Sydney airport welcomed by a group of Frensham girls. On Saturday we played Frensham which was the most memorable game, being both fast and exciting. We are extremely pleased to say that we won the match with the close score of 3-2. We left Frensham and arrived back at school late Sunday night. I would like to congratulate matric for winning the form hockey shield, and Braemar for winning the house hockey cup. At the end of second term lettering was awarded to Sandra Dalrymple. White jumpers were awarded to Heather Dalrymple, Kalherine Richardson, Susan Hendy, Rosalind Ritchie and Jane Douglas. Full colours to Janette Starbuck. I would like to thank all the team members for their support, and our two reserves, Sandra Dalrymple and Alexandra Sloan who were always standing by. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Janette who always helped me. We worked well together and experienced a lot of fun. I hope the 1976 hockey team has a successful season. Best of luck to you all and remember the good old " G " and "D".

We were fortunate enough to have had many matches for not only the seniors but also the juniors.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT This report must be written in unique and difficult circumstances. In December 1975 Clyde, as we have all known it, ceased to exist. Financial shadows have more than once hung over Clyde. Previously we have weathered them with a change of the economy backed by corporate determination. In 1975 we were against odds of great magnitude. A country school, a boarding school and a school of one sex. Some people would have changed the above order and spoken of the overall economy and lack of Federal grant under the Karmel Commission. I choose rather, to look at this sociologically. In the long term we were casualties of a changing social pattern. To take each point briefly, we were a country school, small and inaccessible. As labour and teaching costs inevitably rose, so did fees. These, coupled with rural depression became prohibitive. A boarding school. Irrevocably this meant parents sending their daughters from great distances. Despite loyalties, Clyde became at best an enormous strain to families, at worst, prohibitive

for people involved in rural economy. Thirdly a school of one sex. Over the last decade or more the tendency in most big private schools has been to become co-educational. In the other eras, the unique opportunities of Clyde had much to offer. In our time the process of amalgamation and co-education has greatly advanced. Now we are a member incorporate in the body of Geelong Grammar as we were unable to continue alone for the reasons expounded above, I express the pleasure of the C.O.G.A. that such a compatible and inclusive union has been possible. This year, 1976, is a year in which the Clyde girls continuing at Geelong Grammar, must show their individuality which must enrich G.G.S. but also realise they are now part of a larger whole, and learn to accept the traditions of G.G.S. whilst taking to this amalgam the originality, independence, and clear cut approach that have in the past delineated a Clyde girl in a group. If these girls now present inculcate these ideas to the whole, those that follow after, without the benefit of Clyde, will reap the benefit. To more regular business. The annual jumble sale raised $487. This year we made a good, if reduced profit. The same loyal helpers turned up, but we would be most grateful if a new younger group could help us on the last Thursday in June at St. John's Hall, Toorak. Goods can be left at the Hall the night before, or railed free to the South Yarra station, marked Isabel Henderson Free Kindergarten. Helen Mary Phipps, 7 Como Ave., South Yarra, is happy to be the depot. Old Girls' Day this year had a pall of sorrow and nostalgia hanging over it, we all knew this to be our last meeting on the slopes of Mt. Macedon in a beloved old Victorian building. Two things contributed to disperse this sadness, over 400 girls from every state of the Commonwealth except the Northern Territory attended, and whilst bright sunshine revealed the beauty about them, they conducted themselves with a spirit of acceptance and hope. True to their tradition they looked to the future. I would like to thank the Committee and office bearers for a good year's work, and support and cohesion in the face of what must have been one of the most difficult and challenging years for the C.O.G.A. Margaret Roxburgh (MacLeod)

NEWS FROM REUNIONS The South Australian Old Girls held a reunion on Sunday, May 4th, Helen Hill-Smith (Lane) and her husband asked us all to luncheon at Yalumba,

64

THE CLUTHAN

which is the famous Hill-Smith vineyard and winery in the Barossa Valley district. This year we decided to ask the husbands of our Old Girls, and we had a most successful party. We were invited for 11.30 for lunch at 1 o'clock so that we could be shown over the Yalumba winery which was most interesting and we wish to thank Helen's husband Wyndham very much for making this possible. The drive through the countryside was beautiful, especially as so many vineyards en route looked golden with the autumn coloured leaves still on the vines and on many trees here and there in the hills. Luckily the rain held off until we were about to leave for home. We had an excellent lunch of grills and salads and a delicious German cake and coffee which the Angaston Women's Hospital auxiliary cooked for us and Mr. Hill-Smith gave us glasses and glasses of his perfect red and white wines which was most generous of him. Of the 55 Old Girls who live in South Australia only 16 were able to come which was disappointing but some were not well enough to tackle the journey, such as Doris Fairthorne (Manton), Nancy Grant and Elaine Scott (Cook), others were travelling abroad such as Christina and Stephanie Palmer, who are presently living at Greendeene, East Horsley, Sussex, Kathy O'Grady is reported to be in Hong Kong. Philippa and Penelope Fairthorne are away also. Present were Ann Angas (Maudsley), Merilyn Arkell (Marsh), Betty Bagot, Jeanette Bieg (Wallman), Meg Cowell (Boyd), Pauline Cowell (Kelly), Nell Hamilton (Fisher), Mary Hawker, Patsy Hawker (Synnot), Helen Jay (Wald), Eileen McFarlane (Nicholson), Phyllis Reid, Lysbeth St. Hill (Boyd), Margot Thomas (Tucker) — since moved to live in Melbourne, Sally Ann Wills, Pat Wood (Martin) and our hostess Helen Hill-Smith. Twentyeight of us sat down to lunch which was a really gay affair, although we began by being depressed and really sad as we had just heard of the amalgamation. We all made up our minds to get to school for the wake (our last reunion at school) if possible. We decided also to carry on with our Old Girls parties in South Australia until we are too old and decrepit to go — that is, every four or five years, so that no one gets bored with them. Please, anyone moving to South Australia contact Patsy Hawker, so that they can keep in touch, and know of future parties. I must say we were sorry that Mrs. Pringle could not come, as it was the same day as the meeting at Clyde to explain the future. Patsy writes, on Thursday, August 7th I was taken with a small party of friends to see the World Premiere of "Picnic at Hanging Rock", which was made from Joan Lindsay's (Weigall) book of the same name. It was a gala occasion with lots of big-wigs present but I was disappointed that Joan (Lady Lindsay) was not among them. The film was really excellent — the accents, script, photo-

graphy, attention to detail and the acting could not be faulted. The pictures of Hanging Rock brought back many happy memories of our Camera Club picnics and the school way of speaking jolted me back to my own happy days at Clyde. Congratulations to Joan for having her book turned into a film and I do hope that you will all see this moving picture and enjoy it as much as I did. Sue Monger (Crooke) writes from Perth she tried to organise some Old Girls to the Old Geelong Grammarians dinner in August when Mr. Fisher was there for a headmasters' conference, and the only one present other than Sue and her mother (Patricia Adams) was Jean Glover (Stewart), but there was some enthusiasm for a reunion soon. Bev Balfour is living in Perth and practises as an orthoptist, she had her god-daughter Libby Gray (Mims) to stay, Libby is now living in Adelaide. Alison Hay (Adams) writes that the Canberra Old Girls had a reunion on October 1st, it was at the home of Gillian Storey (Kimpton) and there were about ten present.

WESTERN DISTRICT CLYDE OLD GIRLS' NEWS, 1976 As a brisk south easterly blew in off the Schomberg Rock, Clyde Old Girls assembled at Peterborough for their annual reunion and news gathering. Those present at Bardie Mercer's (Grimwade) home were Frankie Beggs (Fairbairn), Rozie Stansmore (McArthur), Gillie Calvert (Learmonth), Uebo Cunliffe (Grimwade), Jessie Cole (Learmonth), Robin Bowden (Learmonth), Rosemary Durham (Grimwade) and Joanne Jackson (Jamieson). Apologies were received from Tim Gillespie (Street), Janet Gordon (Affleck) and Julie Cole (Baird), who, even though unable to be among us, had items of news ready when we rang them during the evening. It was ever thus that there should be rivalry between Toorak College and Clyde. Even at Peterborough we could not escape. During the course of the evening we were "raided" by a group of Toorak girls and their adherents, lustily singing their school song (we presume). Undaunted, we reciprocated with ours, but louder, and the "enemy" promptly dispersed into the gloom! The Derrinallum High School seems to have become a second Clyde; students have included Janet Mclvor (Gibson), Gillie Calvert (Learmonth), Joanne Jackson (Jamieson), Rosemary Durham (Grimwade), Deborah Cunliffe (Grimwade), and this year Clyde's youngest Old Girl, Cara Durham, is back there to continue her studies. News of Rosemary Skoda (Bassant) came from her father when in Melbourne recently. After living for some years in Canada, she now plans to return to England to live.

THE CLUTHAN Prior to the recent Federal Election, Athol Clapham (Adams) temporarily relinquished her job at a Double Bay boutique to campaign vigorously in the Sydney city area, while Jennifer McCallum (Chirnside) supported the cause just as enthusiastically in Melbourne. Di Danckert (Moore) and her family are living in Dubbo, where her husband Gordon is working with his father's construction company. Lil Keynes (Angas) and her husband moved from Cranbrook, W.A., to Tinterden just before Christmas, and they hope to buy a small property in the vicinity. Lil is breeding horses, and has a small stud of Border Leicesters. She returned to S.A. in October to purchase a stud ram and made the most of the opportunity to visit her family and friends at Angaston. Sally Alston, previously working as a governess at Fossil Downs, Fitzroy Crossing, W.A., last winter had a job as general help at the Mangrove Motel, Broome, and she lived in a house nearby. She was surprised to meet up with Anna Affleck (Durham) who was on a three months trip to the west. Anna stayed with Sally in Broome and worked at the motel for five weeks. Sally, who is secretary of the Fitzroy Crossing Race Club, took Anna to the Mall's Creek Races, and there they met Bill Armit (son of Ann Armit (Murphy)) who is working on Moolabulla Station. On her way home through Perth, Anna was delighted to run into Jenny Rodway (Bond) and her husband who are living there. Virginia Ronaldson (Fisken) is taking a leading role in a National Theatre production to be presented at the newly reconstructed theatre at Sovereign Hill. Mandy Ronaldson has successfully completed her first year of teaching training at Burwood. Among those seen during the summer holidays at Barwon Heads were: Harriet Parker (Carson), Moira Irvine (Moon), Belinda Roper (Manifold), Virginia Ronaldson and daughter Mandy, Georgie Molesworth (Bieri), Jessie Cole (Learmonth), Ann Irvine (Hawkes), Susie Sutherland (Finlay), Mary Tall is (Learmonth) and Helen Happell (Macdougall), while those seen enjoying the recent Rural Romp at Barwon Heads included Janet Gordon (Affleck), Celia Blackwell (Thomson), Julie Cole (Baird), Catherine Macdougall (Howard), Georgie Molesworth (Bieri) and Jessie Cole (Learmonth). Recently married Jane (Weatherly) and Michael Loughnan are planning to live in Tasmania where he will study medicine. Sybil Baillieu (Barr Smith) and husband Anthony have moved to Western Australia to live. Sue Webb (Harrison) and her husband are living in Korea for two years, where he is managing a sheep demonstration farm.

Overseas, Susie Russell is in Montreal and going on to Paris, doing odd jobs, and will probably be home by the end of the year, while Jill Officer who has been to America, England and skiing in Austria, is now back in London. Diana Learmonth (Nicholas) and partner won the Shaw foursomes at the Barwon Heads Golf Club, where she is on the Associates' Committee. Flo Calvert (Jamieson) with her partner, Mr. T. L. Austin (Lisa Murch's father) won the Fred Moore Golf Trophy at Peterborough in grand style in January. Lisa and husband Rob have just moved to live at Berrambool, an historic pioneer property near Wickliffe. Prue Plowman (Manifold) and her husband have been on a trip to New Guinea, while Marcia Stephens (Palmer) and her family who have lived there for a few years, have moved back to Victoria to live in Mortlake where they are renovating a house in Officer Street. Jenny Ingram (Laycock) with her husband and small daughter have returned to live in Melbourne after several years in England. Ann Stoney (Peardon) had a trip to Ireland to spend Christmas with her husband's relatives. Susannah Law-Smith is private secretary to Mrs. Malcolm Fraser. Chris Myddelton (Morris) went to East Berlin during September to stay with her sister Deirdre whose husband is No. 2 in the Australian Embassy there. Chris also had three weeks with her parents in Pakistan in October, when they drove through the North West Frontier Province and the Khyber Pass to Kabul, Afghanistan. Carol Hancock (Jamieson), always a beautiful seamstress, is continuing with her job of making exquisite children's clothes. Jo Goold (Baillieu) and Sylvia McLachlan (Clarke) accompanied their husbands on a polo playing trip to India. Peta Kinmond (Gillespie) and her husband are living in Shepparton where they have bought a house and she is working as a secretary for Dalgety's. We have it on good authority that Wizzie McCuIloch (Bayne) received an imported sewing machine for Christmas — her husband buying same from Peta's husband, Jim, who has an agency there — small world! Sally Mercer and Tinky Austin holidayed on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland last spring, and are now back at their handcraft instructing jobs in Melbourne. Penny Fairthorne, after a trip abroad, is now back in Adelaide where she is studying singing. Sue Buller (Sargood) and her husband, who is working in his father's wine business, are living at Swan Hill.

THE CLUTHAN

Gillian Holynian, on a six months trip overseas, stayed with Sue Graansma (Joyce) and her family at Amersfoort, Holland, and with Elizabeth Ann Hillyer (Thyne) and her family in Sussex where the latest copy of the Cluthan had just arrived and was read with great interest. Gill has now returned to Australia, and having completed her hotel management course, is working at the Hotel Australia. Jessie Cole (Learmonth) is president of the Ararat Art Gallery Social Committee which provided a delicious luncheon for the Western Plains Women's section of the Liberal Party at the Art Gallery in November. Guests admired the current exhibition — Arts Victoria — before enjoying a most informative talk by Paul Fitzgerald. It was a gay evening indeed when Tim Gillespie (Street) and her husband celebrated their silver wedding last November. At a dinner party hostessed by the three bridesmaids, Rosemary Durham (Grimwade), Jill Minifie (Manifold) and Bardie Mercer (Grimwade), guests were asked to wear clothes of twenty five years ago, and the bride had hoped to wear her wedding dress, however the silverfish got to it first. So she wore black lace over pink satin (purchased in 1949!), and with her husband a picture or sartorial elegance in tails and medals, they made a spectacular arrival to the strains of trumpet Voluntary. Bridesmaid Rosemary Durham in the original white organdy, all starched and meticulously ironed for the occasion, really took the prize; closely followed by Lisa Murch's (Austin) mother well padded with a cushion wearing a maternity dress of navy blue crepe sprigged with white flowers, covered with a matching voluminous jacket. She added a corsage of pink flowers and "sensible" navy blue shoes. Present also was Joanne Jackson (Jamieson) resplendent in diaphanous grey tulle and long white gloves. Sheila Dennis (Currie) wearing a black lace ballerina, while bridesmaid Bardie Mercer's strapless flame coloured tulle was worn with strings of pearls and pearl ear rings. When Anna Durham married James Affleck in the little wooden church in Lismore in February it was like a Clyde reunion, with Bishop Richards performing the ceremony and Camilla Kelly (de Little) playing the organ and Joanne Jackson (Jamieson) in charge of catering at the reception which followed. Bridesmaids were Cara Durham, Tinky Austin, and Sally Mercer. The bridegroom's sister Janet Gordon (Affleck) helped the bride's mother, Rosemary Durham (Grimwade), receive the guests, and amongst the many Old Girls noticed were the groom's aunts, Mrs. Charles Kelly (Gwen Affleck) and Catherine Ramsay, the bride's aunts, Lady Manifold (Gwenda Grimwade), Deborah Cunliffe (Grimwade), and Bardie Mercer (Grimwade); also Pauline Cowell (Kelly) over from South Australia with her husband, Ann Hope Johnstone (Ramsay), Julie Cole (Baird) whose husband

was a groomsman, Gill Holyman, Margi Cordner, Caroline Walford, Flo Grimwade (Whitton) and Deborah Calvert (Moore). News from Tasmania.

THE CLUTHAN

Sally Pearce is still working with the A.M.L. & F. company in the city. Gill Holyman is a valuable asset to the Australia Hotel, and has been promoted to an assistant-managerial position. Angela Rouse is working for the editor of a weekly newspaper. Amelia Poolman spent nine months last year doing a secretarial course at Holmes College in the city. Rosemary Kiely (Hanson) is working as a builders' labourers' assistant. Helen Mary Phipps (Sawyer) is on the staff at St. Catherine's teaching Human Relations. Diana Brown (Little) writes during last year: In April this year I not only heard of the fall of Phnom Penh and Saigon, our last two postings with the Australian Embassy and where one of our daughters was born, but also that Clyde was planning to move from its beautiful surroundings. In November '75 we are also due to depart from our third posting in Jakarta, so it seems as though this has been a year of termination. However, we have made the most of our time here, learning the language and travelling as much as possible throughout Indonesia although the situation lately in Portuguese Timor has kept Ian rather on home base. We have visited Bali, Eastern Java, and travelled through Sumatra to lovely Lake Toba. During our posting Prue Plowman (Manifold), Roslyn Allen (Wilkins) and Elizabeth Peck (McPherson) were among the old girls who dropped into Indonesia for short visits. Now it will be our turn to call and visit them in Australia.

ADDRESS DELIVERED AT CLYDE SCHOOL, WOODEND BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE SIR JOHN YOUNG, K.C.M.G. SATURDAY, 6th DECEMBER, 1975 Mr. Chairman, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Mrs. Pringle, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a very great honour to have been asked to speak to you on this memorable occasion. Speech Day is always, I think, a memorable day, especially for those who are leaving school, but this day has a particular significance for us all. because it is the last speech day of Clyde School. It is some comfort to me to reflect that today will be remembered not so much for what is said as for the fact that it is on this day that this school, which we have all known and loved, comes to an end. If I may adapt a sentence from Abraham Lincoln's famous speech at Gettysburg, you will little note nor long remember what I say here, but you will never forget what you did here. Indeed, whilst I was worrying about what I should say today, a friend told me that he couldn't remember a single

solitary thing that had ever been said at any speech day that he had attended — and as all parents do, he had attended a good many. But what has been done here will not be forgotten. From 1921 to the present day this school has played a very significant part in education. That part has not been played in educating large numbers of girls, for it has always been a small school. But as I think Mrs. Pringle said, when she took up her appointment, "There is something special about Clyde." She may have said there is something special about Clyde girls actually. What is that "something special"? There are I think a number of things that are special about Clyde — its beautiful situation, the mountain air, the friendly atmosphere, which has been preserved partly because it has been so small, and many other similar qualities. But these more or less tangible things are inadequate to describe what the real quality is, although no doubt they assist to make it up. It is not easy to describe the particular quality of this School but if it had to be put in a single sentence I think I would say that the special quality of this school is that it has always taught girls how to live. Education has not been confined to the three Rs — indeed, I doubt if anyone learns the three Rs today. Education has not stopped at the class room door but has continued, as only I believe a boarding school can, for seven days a week and somehow it has managed to teach girls how to live, how to live useful and contented lives. I think one can detect this particular quality in many old girls of the School but in none more than in the very distinguished old girl who is to distribute the prizes today, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. I shall not attempt to describe any of the things she has done but I do want to say that she is a shining example to us all in how to live, she epitomises the very special qualities that this school has taught, she has of course been a very generous benefactress, and it is very fitting indeed that she should distribute the prizes here today. The very particular qualities of Clyde as a School could not have been created and preserved if the school had not been fortunate enough to attract to its service a most distinguished succession of headmistresses. This is not the time to chronicle their individual achievements but I would like to pay a special tribute to Mrs. Pringle. who has, I believe, amidst all the difficulties of these last few years maintained the special qualities of Clyde as fresh as when she first came. Much credit must also be due to the Chairman and Council Members who have from time to time guided the affairs of this school. I shall not attempt to name even all the Chairman, but without exception they and the members of the Council have given devoted service in the largely thankless task

THE CLUTHAN of running the school. I shall mention only two Chairmen who are representative of all the others who have served Clyde: the first, Sir Arthur Robinson who was Chairman from 1921 until 1945 — a remarkable record, and the last, Mr. Nevile, the present Chairman. I am sure you would also wish me to express a particular sympathy and gratitude to Mr. Nevile and the present Council to whom fell the difficult task of deciding in a fateful way the future of this School. What I have said about the Headmistress is, of course, true also of the staff who have served this school for over fifty years. To the present members of the staff who are dispersing I would merely repeat a few lines from Kipling's "School Song" (the prelude to Stalky & Co.). ". . . their work continueth, And their work continueth, Broad and deep continueth, Greater than their knowing". Those lines have always seemed to me to express most forcefully the enduring effect of a teacher's work. Of course, the effect is not always good: a bad teacher's work may continue just as long and just as deeply as a good teacher's. But Clyde has been fortunate in its staff and they like the Headmistresses have been responsible for creating and preserving its unique qualities. The girls who are leaving school today are really very fortunate indeed. They are fortunate not only because they are leaving school — which girls and boys, for that matter, always seem to want to do, at any rate until they have done it — but also because they have had the whole of their schooling in these lovely surroundings. I know that you have been happy here and I hope that you have taken full advantage of all that this School has had to offer. But you never get anything for nothing in this world and I believe that your great good fortune carries with it corresponding obligations. You are all members of the Clyde community or family and you will always be members of that community. You won't cease to be members of the Clyde community simply because Clyde is moving to Corio. Clyde is going to move into a larger community, it is going to become part of the Geelong Grammar community, and I believe that you who are leaving school today should also become members of that larger community; I am sure that you will be welcome if you attempt to do so, but there is much more to it than that. Clyde has much to contribute to the community at Corio and that this contribution will be made is largely ensured by the fact that Mrs. Pringle has agreed to go and to establish Clyde House there. But a school community is much more than the girls or boys who happen to be there at the time: it includes also all those who have gone before them

69

— (it even includes the unfortunate parents, who have to pay for the whole thing) — and the strength of a school depends to a large extent upon the strength of the entire school community. I hardly need to say that to this audience. This school above all, has proved the truth of that observation. You who are leaving school today have a choice. You can either say that you were the class of 1975 —the last class at Woodend — and refuse to have anything to do with the continuing school at Corio. Or you can resolve that the real things that this school had stood for and taught shall not perish, and by joining the larger community of Geelong Grammar ensure that those things do not perish, but flourish and flower at Corio. If you take the former course and turn inwards into your small little group, that group will perish — and more quickly than you think — for it will have nothing to feed on, no purpose other than looking inwards and backwards, no contribution to make to anyone or anything but itself and nothing to look forward to. But if you take the latter course and join the larger community, you will ensure that what is worthwhile here will endure, that Geelong Grammar with the addition of Clyde is better than Geelong Grammar without it, and that Clyde House at Corio is better even than Clyde School has been. Of course, it won't have this lovely mountain air, but in all essential things there is no reason why Clyde House should not be even better than Clyde School. How Clyde House turns out at Corio will depend a good deal too upon the girls from here who will be going to start it next year. And now I want particularly to speak to them, because I had an experience when I was at school, which was in some respects similar and if I tell you about it, I hope it may give you some encouragement. I was at school at Corio and when I went into the Senior School I became a member of Perry House. I was four years in that House and towards the end of my fourth year the School built a new House. It is called Francis Brown House. Many of you will know it. It stands not far from where Clyde House is to be. Well, when Francis Brown was built, the School had to find some boys to put in it. The School decided that it would be useless to fill it only with boys just entering the Senior School. You couldn't have a House which had only thirteen year olds in it. So it was decided that boys would be taken from each of the existing houses and pushed into the new house. I was one of those selected to leave Perry and transfer my loyalty to Francis Brown. We never quite discovered how the boys to be transferred were selected. The popular view in the rest of the school was that each house was asked to name those whom it wanted to get rid of, but we

70

THE CLUTHAN

in the new Francis Brown liked to think we were selected for other reasons.

Girls would be interested to know what is happening at Woodend.

Well, for whatever reason, we went, and out of boys who had spent 1, 2, 3 or 4 years in other houses and some boys who were new to the senior school, a new house was created. Of course, we all thought that the bottom had fallen out of the world when we were asked to leave the houses to which all our loyalties belonged, but leave we did and the truly remarkable thing was how quickly and easily we developed a house spirit in the new house and how quickly and easily we developed a loyalty to the new house. I had one year in that house and by the time I left school at the end of that year whenever anyone asked me (whether from inside the School or outside) which house I belonged to. I unhesitatingly answered. Francis Brown, and from that day to this, that is where my loyalties have been.

After the announcement of the amalgamation of Geelong Grammar, Clyde and the Hermitage, a number of local people joined together to establish a secondary independent school for the district. As a result we now have 209 students attending Braemar College which is an ecumenical, co-educational secondary day school.

It was a traumatic experience to change one's House in one's lust year at school. Your change will not in some ways be so great. At least yon will be with many of your friends — we largely had to make new ones. You will not all, I believe go to Clyde House in the first instance but at any rate I understand that this year's fourth and fifth forms certainly will. Perhaps others will too. In years to come they certainly will. But it does not really matter to which house at Corio you go. What matters is that you should embrace the new larger community at Corio and take advantage of all the opportunities that Geelong Grammar School has to olFer — and those opportunities are very great indeed. I venture to predict that if you do, you will be able to say in a year's time that you have transported to Corio all that is best in this school. Indeed. I think it behoves us all to ensure that this is done. Those who are already members of the Geelong Grammar community will have their loyalties strengthened by the addition of Clyde House. Those who have had no previous connexion with Geelong Grammar will find. I believe, that the individual boy or individual girl matters there just as much as the individual has mattered here. If you all become active members of the Geelong Grammar community, I believe that you will quickly develop loyalties to that school no less strong, no less enduring, no less undivided than you now feel for Clyde School, Woodend. And so, in conclusion, Mr. Chairman, may I say to all, let us remember with gratitude the privilege we have enjoyed as members of the family of Clyde and let us resolve that what it has stood for shall not perish in our time.

BRAEMAR COLLEGE Writing as an Old Girl, former member of the Clyde staff, former Clyde parent and now a founding parent of Braemar College, I thought the Old

It has been an inspiring community effort involving the support of the Anglican, Catholic and Presbyterian churches, the Federal and State Governments, the Newham-Woodend, Gisborne and Romsey Shires, -the Geelong and Clyde Councils and last but certainly not least the local people. The success of the project has been, and will continue to be, the result of the voluntary efforts of the parents who are contributing endless hours assisting with maintenance of the school, library, uniform, canteen, secretarial duties, etc., in addition to the usual ftind raising activities. The voluntary help has made it possible to establish a low fee structure enabling many more children to receive the benefits of independent schooling. Although it is no longer Clyde, due to the site, many of the Clyde traditions will naturally evolve. During these first few weeks, the children who have come from a variety of schools, have joined ranks with the nucleus of Clyde day students; they are responding to the environment and the same happy atmosphere prevails. A few points of interest — but I must keep this short: The first floor of Braemar House is to be used as a residential conference centre, the larger rooms e.g. 35, 41, staff silting room, are to be lecture rooms during school hours. Specialist areas such as music, art and craft will be used out of school hours. Boys and girls are all participating in home economics, the boys under the able leadership of George (Now Mr. Sheaves) who instructs them on general home maintenance. This way the drains are kept clear, desks repaired, door knobs oiled, etc.! Room 17 is "The Quiet Room" and will be the school chapel. Iceberg bedrooms are private studies for H.S.C. students. The Art Teacher was bitten by a bull ant on her first day and spent the next ten in hospital! The students do wear a uniform, basically brown and green to blend with the environment. There are four members of the teaching staff and their families living on the premises. The first fire drill was held on a cold south wind day, the siren was not heard by some (because of wind direction), one class had difficulty in "Escaping" when their door jammed, and finally the siren

72

THE CLUTHAN

could not be silenced because the key had been misplaced! So, Braemar College is an exciting new venture and the Headmaster, Mr. Graham Farley has asked me to extend a warm welcome to all Old Girls who would like to visit the school as he realises so many of us have a deep affection for the place. Could I add at this stage if any Old Girls would like to know more about, or assist in supporting, this new school, I am only too happy to act as mediator, courier, guide or whatever. Please feel free to contact me at any time. Sue Woods (Home), P.O. Box 229, Gisborne 3437. Tel. 28 2481.

DEDICATION SERVICE, CORIO On February 29th, 1976, while rain rent the heavens, below in the Geelong Grammar Chapel The Primate, and Archbishop of Melbourne, Most Reverend Frank Woods, conducted a service of Dedication and Thanksgiving for the amalgamation of Clyde, The Hermitage and Geelong Grammar School. The service, to have been outdoors, gained in depth and beauty from being within the Chapel. Using each school motto in free translation of the Latin, the Archbishop wove a simple texture of consecration. The epistle from Corinthians 13, spelt out the necessity of Faith, Hope and Love, whilst the lesson, the parable of the loaves and fishes, pointed significantly to the fact that for a multiude there would be plenty, through faith in Christ. Beautiful singing, music, and the atmosphere of the Chapel packed with young people, flanked by older ones, lent the dedication depth — three separate entities now incorporated. With the blessing of Archbishop Woods all present went out strengthened in faith in our future.

CLYDE OLD GIRLS RED CROSS BRANCH A very pleasing sum of $1395 was forwarded to HQ in the last financial year. This amount was from our Annual Card Party, another very successful Morning Coffee Party at "Cruden Farm" and the generous donations from members and friends. Our hostesses this year were Elizabeth Moran (White), Mary Forrest (Armit), Wilma Cuming (Guthrie), Molly McCutcheon (Buley) and Elfwyn Kimpton (Laidlaw). The meeting was well attended and our thanks to these members for allowing us to use their homes for meetings.

ISABEL HENDERSON FREE KINDERGARTEN Napier Street, Fitzroy 1975 has gone well. Miss White, the directress, has recovered from her long illness. There is a full roll, with 65 children in three groups, with 16 who stay for lunch. The program is as flexible as possible, to meet the needs of the area. There are fewer migrant children this year, as many have moved to the housing commission flats in north-west Fitzroy. We are still waiting for an official decision about the freeway as relates to the Kindergarten, and hope to move near there when the time comes, as this is where the need is greatest. The emphasis is on an education program to encourage interests perhaps unfilled by these families. We need books of a higher standard than those owned by most children, to broaden their outlook. Also we need new musical instruments, as the present ones are depleted. The usual tight budget problems are augmented this year, because the Government does not pay relieving teachers' salaries, superannuation or long service leave, and this cost must be met by the kindergarten committee. After the salaries have been paid by the subsidy, the overhead costs for equipment, maintenance, long service leave, insurance, etc. amount to a further $6-7,000 per annum, of which $4-5,000 is raised by parent contributions, which have doubled this year. The parents do a tremendous amount to help, and the numbers of professional people are growing, which makes it easier to carry those who genuinely cannot pay the fees, which vary from $1.50-$2.00 per week, depending on the program. The committee and parents and Clyde need to raise an extra $2,000 per year to cover the difference in cost. Clyde's contribution has remained at $500 for the past 25 years (£250) and perhaps we could increase it, as proportionaly it goes such a small way — though it is still an essential part of the budget. The building has been desperately in need of paint, and the Divine Light Mission has provided (between "Meditation" sessions) free and excellent workers, so long as we provide the paint — even so, this is quite costly. We were very grateful for an anonymous donation of $1,000, which, with a wonderfully welcome

73

$8,000 legacy for Miss Hay will begin a Trust fund for the Kindergarten. The committee has at least four Clyde Old Girls, and we now have an assistant Kindergartener, Helen Happell (Macdougall) on the staff! Most of you may know Miss Brown, our treasurer, personally or by repute. Our incredible ally, she has never missed a meeting in 45 years, but has now retired due to ill health. The Kindergarten Union has awarded her Honorary Life Membership, as recognition of the exceptional service she has given us, and to the Kindergarten cause in general. We can only wish her a happy retirement; and thank her most sincerely for her work. Ann Coglan, one of the parents, has taken her place. Hoping for your continued support, and with grateful thanks to those of you who have helped us already. Helen Mary Phipps (Sawyer)
