EDITORIAL:

Mandeville in

Community The theme of this year's magazine reflects the concept of education which permeates every aspect of life at Mandeville: the concept of community, that many-faceted unity of action and personality in which the individual is given opportunity to develop fully as part of a harmonious whole. "What life have you if you have not life together? There is no life that is not in community."

Thus spake T. S. Eliot, and his words find a response in our vision of all the individual efforts in the school-drama, litera-

ture, science, language, music, sport, social and sociable activities-constituting a unique and living entity. On a deeper level, we recognize as the source and inspiration of this unity the common Christian purpose which should motivate us all as individuals-to both seek out and make mani-

fest the community of mankind. For us in a Christian school, this

underlying reality finds its deepest and most powerful expression in the Mass; and so, to our concept of "community" a further dimension is added.

Therefore, the following pages are an attempt to interpret the life of the school in this broad context, as mirroring a whole, presenting a synoptic view of what is essentially a dynamic process of development in personality, faith and common understanding. Elizabeth Gallagher.

A WELCOME AND A GOOD-BYE.

Visit of Mother General

Agnes Walsh I.B.V.M. From August to October this year, Mother General was warmly welcomed by Loreto convents from east to west of Australia, but she could hardly have been received with more joy and enthusiasm than she was at Mandeville.

This tall, smiling person impressed all of us who met her and heard her speak of her personal work, the work of the Loreto nuns in general, and

particularly in India, where she was Provincial for six years.

It seems too, that Mother was impressed by

Australia. "Your youth has much enthusiasm and vitality," she said, "Australia is a wonderful country." Mother Superior (left) welcomes Mother General to Mandeville.

After having stayed some time at Loreto, Toorak, Mother General certainly seems to have endeared herself to nuns and girls alike, and the realization that a person of such obvious warmth,

integrity and competence is head of the Loreto Order is reassuring to all of us taught and influenced by the nuns. "THOUGHTS ON DEPARTURE"...

tend to take on a certain similarity of tone and colour, and this article will doubtless have

little that js sufficiently original to render it remarkable,

In a sense, however, the departure of a nun from one field of labour to another has a character

which marks it out jn two ways from other changes of position.

Firstly there is the manner of the going. No passing whim, no sense of boredom or lack of ful-

filment, no ambition for higher things or distant fields dictates the move; only the clear will of the loving God to whom the nun has already dedica-

ted her life and service. Secondly, such a severance from familiar things can be seen as a 'holy necessity, since for each Christian the response to God's call is always ongoing; there is no first and final answer, but a continuous and deepening

4#49) A ,

series of answers, each a clearer echo of the

Pauline cry: " Lord, what will you have me to do?" Only thus does the full Christian emerge.

More personally, one could look back over what one has failed to do, or done badly; such, however, would be a denial of Christian hope and trust. It is my joy then to recall twelve happy years at Loreto, Toorak, and to realize myself as the favoured recipient of the fruits of God's promises. A hundredfold was promised and "full measure, flowing over," has constantly been received. The kindly hands that gave are those of the parents, friends, staff members, lively and lovable pupils, present and past, and, most specially, of the community of Toorak. 4

Sister largaret Hannan, Mistress of Schools.

We are aware, in these post-Vatican 11 days, of the emphasis placed on the word "encounter"

and it has for me a particular appropriateness. So many encounters here have proved to be further insights into the Christ who "plays in a thousand places". For such insights I can only conclude with a stumbling "thank you", and move on with joyful trust to fields which are new and yet familiar, since they too are illuminated by the presence of Jesus Christ, who is the same "yesterday, today and forever." Sister Margaret Hannan I.B.V.M.

Farewell...to Sister Margaret It is extremely difficult for us to express adequately our gratitude to one who has so deeply influenced us throughout our school years. The present Matriculation class has never known Man-

deville without Sister Margaret, as our arrival in

44»f

Grade 1 coincided with her arrival at Toorak

twelve years ago. However, for all those years of effective teach-

ing, warm enthusiasm, and unfailing patiepce we thank her, knowing that we will never be able to repay her. Her kindly and deeply Christian influ-

RETROSPECT ! Sally Gunnis.

Pure Maths!

The last year of the decade has brought many happy days, academic successes and otherwise,

wild social turns, and enterprise in varied fields, ranging through sport and drama to debating and 1

folksinging.

With the advent of February, the changes in staff were the first focus of attention. This tempor-

ary shock was overshadowed by the even greater novelty of the change in the nuns' habits, still passing through the experimental stage, but unanimously voted a welcome innovation. Poetry in art.

With the progression of the year, the new faces

and outfits became familiar and the student body

set about its normal occupations. Under a competent Matric class the school set about making 1969 a memorable year and endeavours such as the Intermediate A.A.C., the Miss Mandeville

Quest and the various dramatic presentations will ensure that this year will not be seen as just any year.

Undoubtedly the highlight of the year was the visit of Mother General Agnes Walsh, but a broad view of the whole year, such as we hope you will find in this magazine, indicates that it was one of

joy, prosperity and wide achievement.

In Memoriam LIGHT ETERNAL GIVE TO THEM O LORD.

Mother Francis Theresa Nobel : A Memoir. The Institute lost a valued member in Mother

Francis Theresa Nobel who died after a long ill-

ness-as gently borne as was her life-long battle against infirmities. She was a link with the early

Catholic history of South Australia, for her parents were of that fervent German stock who made

Clare a centre of religion and old-world culture,

Our deepest sympathies are also extended to the families and friends of Father Gleeson S.J., Mr. Bowden,

Mrs. Coriy,

who died during the year.

and were aided, as were all the Germans of that settlement, by the Jesuits of Sevenhill.

The Nobel family were all musicians and many Loreto girls will recall Mother's enthusiasm for the beautiful in Art, Literature and Music. She

loved to play 'Ave Maria' on the organ when a past pupil bride came to the convent chapel after the wedding.

May her gentle soul rest in peace!

DRAMA

Little Glass Houses This year

Little Glass Houses was submitted as

Loreto's entry in the Drama Festival. Although unplaced in the final judging the cast and their producer must be commended on a polished performance.

The play begins on a vital note with the forceful

entry of Mrs Orpington, played with skill by Angela Dwyer. Though a highly respected English socialite she could not refrain from venting her anger at her meek daughter, Jane, played so innocently by Gemma Huie. The difficult and consistent role

of Lady Titherington was acted by Sally Lodge, while Laura Nicholls excellently portrayed the

sharp and waspish Mrs Caroway. As a measure of her ability the audience took a marked dislike to the lady. With the long awaited arrival of Mme

Rossignol, portrayed superbly by Marita Sakacs, the dramatic atmosphere was completed.

Bearing in mind the skill of all the actresses and

the hard work of the Producer, Miss Drennan, we

have great hopes for an even more successful play next year. ,%* 't IIi ,

Mme Rossignol and Mrs Carroway.

Oliver! This was chosen as the title for a play, produced and acted by the Form 111 boarders, on the November 28th.

Oliver was portrayed by Jenny Kelly, whose "little boy" voice is by now well known throughout the school. The splendid character of Mr Bumble was magnificently acted by Lou Beiyon,

who surprised both the cast and audience by a truly superb performance, The magistrate was

portrayed by a monstrous red-faced Sally Chalmers, while the Artful Dodger was rendered by a bubbling Brennan (alias Sally). The nasty Fagin was brought to life by Genevieve Lewis. AnneMaree Hayden delighted all in a variety of parts ranging from London to the engaging Charlie,

while the generally quiet Genevieve O'Connor was unsurpassed as the sinister Bill Sykes. He was assisted by Nancy whose tragic life was portrayed with spirit by Robyn Bowyer; her blonde loveliness and (appropriate) costume captivated all.

Nancg's sister, Bett, played by Pauline Leahy and

Mr Brownlow's maid, Anne Carey are to be highly commended on their respective performances, not to mention the ubiquitous Elizabeth Halpin who alternated rapidly from male to female.

I think I have mentioned everybody, and given them their due thanks, all excepting one person without whom the play would not have been the success it was, Sister Josephine. We hope to see more plays by the Form 111 boarders. Script by: C. Dickens

Boy with a Cart

"Boy With A Cart" was presented to a rapt audience of relatives on Thursday, 13th November. As the play progressed the audience became fully involved with the play and we congratulate Miss Drennan on an excellent production. While Mardi Cooke starred as Cuthman, Anne O'Shaughnessy portrayed his mother with feeling.

In 1969 twelve debating teams participated in the C.Y.M.S. Association. Where a Matric. team

rose to the heights, others plunged to the depths, but all in all the efforts were justified. For the smooth running of the whole endeavour, thanks must go to Michele Dynon, Debating President,

1. the supper archangels and all paternal adjudicators.

The Speechcraft Festival at C.B.C. was over-

whelmed by Loreto talent and to Miss Drennan many congratulations are due. Where 1969 showed talent, let us hope 1970 will reflect genius.

The comment on the week is associated with the

review of life-each member of the group reports on an event that has happened during the past 4

week of particular importance. In the Review of

the Week, the group applies one of these events to life, with the help of a Gospel extract. We conclude with a discussion of action to be taken

about the matter discussed, and then close off with a prayer. Y.C.S. ACTIVITIES: Back Row Left: A. Dwyer, P. Winship, J. Dync , Middle Row. M. Gullifer, S. Taylor, J. Randles. Front Row:

To the students in my group, and in Y,C.S. throughout the school, Y.C.S. is life. Possibly this one word, life, is a summary; however, Y.C.S. is there to help us (The Young Christian Students) to live our lives to the full in awareness of other

people. Awareness-this is another key wordawareness of people and things; and places; of our parents, friends, teachers and of the lonely ones in the street, class, suburb. We try, individually and collectively, through our discussions, to look at the significance of the real things in

life; and together or singly, to make a response, or answer a challenge. Through contact with people, we can develop ourselves by going out to others.

This contact with people, awareness or outgoingness is possibly summarized by -You're nobody 'till somebody loves you . . ."

"The Y.C.S. group is ideally a group who should serve, educate and represent; a group of friends who look at life together." THE MEETING:

by entertaining thirty orphans for the day, providing games, food etc., and keeping them occupied. After this, we began some social work, of visiting Caritas Christi Hospice, as described else-

where by Lucille Brown. We had meetings and discussions with the other school groups around us and held a Seminar. In this Seminar we had

three guest speakers to talk about poverty in Melbourne and to suggest ways in which we could help out. We organized a group of girls to help a

Mothers' Committee in "buttering bread" and also raised money within the school to pay off debts and help to subsidize the full-timers. We have had meetings with our Y.C.S. Chaplain and other visiting scholastics. Also during Y.C.S. week, we had a talk given to us by a full-timer, and a Mass said for us by the Diocesan Chaplain. We have attended meetings, seminars and film nights to

get an Eastern Region going. The Intermediates have done a large amount of social work and the Matrics. have tried to act as a co-ordinating force within the school. We all try to act our parts as "Christian" students within our school and home

areas, as a group and by ourselves. Gabrielle England, President Y.C.S.

Form IV Y.C.S. With the absence of Sister Genievieve, our

Y.C.S. Group did not get off to a very good start this year, but with the arrival of Sister Josephine, things started moving after the election of a President, Secretary and Treasurer. 'Through the drive of a few members and with

the interest of the group behind them, we arranged to visit Monte Froire for the Aged. Now a few girls are regularly visiting Homes for the Aged or Orphanages etc. Here, they help by giv-

ing morning tea, or just by talking to the people. The beginning of our weekly meeting is run in a very business-like manner and then we break

into an open discussion, prepared by two different members selected the previous Thursday. 72 /9

We are looking forward to bigger and better things next year and we hope to live up to the high standard set by this year's Leavings. Katherine Kevin, Y.C.S. President Intermediate. 35

Melbourne. Our first venture in the world of high finance we will call the "cordial drive" which met

with mixed success due in part to the inclemency of the weather and the somewhat doubtful quality of our brew. However, we decided to change our

tactics and with due regard to the darkening skies of winter, we decided there was money to be made in coffee and cakes. The girls set to, with a will and some monstrous concoctions carefully camouflaged with icing, were speedily dispatched. Our activities have included making and selling

Although our task was basically the same as that of Social Service 1-to raise money for worthy causes-we concentrated more on raising money for the missions. Our major project this year was to raise enough money to educate a

child in an Indian secondary school for one year.

Often we worked in conjunction with the Social

Caritas Christi On Passion Sunday early this year a group of Leaving Y.C.S. members went to "Caritas Christi", the hospital for elderly people in Kew. The ten girls who went: Gay England, Sally Lodge, Mary-

rose Sinn, Sally Taylor, Joan and Sue Coghlan,

Angela Clark, Angela Dwyer, Angela McGIade, Margaret Lynch and myself not only made our-

selves useful at the hospital but thoroughly enjoyed what we were doing.

It was a chance for us to meet people and talk to them at a level most of us had not previously encountered. While helping the nurses to serve meals and clean the wards we were able to talk

to the patients and their ready response to our interest was very rewarding.

Several weeks later we returned to the hospital and with Mrs. Driscoll's voluntary assistance sang the Easter Sunday Mass for the patients. We then returned to the wards and handed out the Easter

enthusiasm that we are anticipating our next visit joyfully. Lucille Brown, Leaving.

The Catechist Course 1969 This year over 100 students, including a large number of girls from Loreto, and students from De La Salle, Sacre Coeur, and Kildara attended the Catechist course, at De La Salle, Malvern. The lectures were given by two priests, Fathers Doyle and Maguire, who alternated each week.

Having both these enlightening and down-to-earth men instructing us in the basics of Christianity ,

was a "soul-shattering" experience, which either strengthened our ideas or forced us to rethink them.

After the 40 minute lecture we would all dis-

perse to our various tutorial classes, to learn the finer points of instructing the young, from able inMATRICULATION CATECHISTS: Back Left: D. Jones, D. Parkinson, P. Smith, K. Allen.

structors such as Brother Collins, Brother Calix-

"sat-in" on two classes, the majority of us quali-

fied to receive our diplomas from Bishop Culli- 1

nane at Windsor Chapel. 1 For those of us fortunate enough to have the ' opportunity of helping to spread the "Good

News", per media of the Sunday school or Government school classes, the course indeed proved a rewarding experience.

Aboriginal Awa reness Campaign This year saw the conception of the Aboriginal Awareness Campaign. Conducted by the Intermediates, the Campaign got under way with a series of fund raising events. The aim of A.A.C. is to make young people aware of the Aboriginals and their position in today's society. Results of a questionaire circulated in Leaving 1 and Matriculation classes at various schools were disappointing. They revealed that the "average" senior was in ignorance of the aboriginal problem.

As we will be one day the leaders of our governments, it is essential for us to understand problems such as these and to seek remedies for the situation.

A.A.C. has donated S50 to Sister Teresa to help her in her work at Bourke, educating the abor-

iginal children. We hope to give her more help during the coming year but first we need your support and AWARENESS! Elizabeth Curtain Intermed ate.

The Secondary Schools Aboriginal Affairs Fund is designed to give secondary students opportunities to participate meaningfully in Aboriginal

status of the Fund, it was decided that S.S.A.A.F. 3

Sodality To those outside the organization Sodality may seem to represent meetings of various diverse elements of the school rarely seen together. But for those who have thrown in their lot with Fr.

Dynon, Sodality represents an attempt to lead a holier life, make a greater commitment to Christ. It is certainly not for us to say whether or not we

have achieved a level of elevated spirituality but certainly, under Fr. Dynon's spiritual direction our Christian vocation has assumed a greater depth and meaning. For this lead we can never be too grateful.

orian representatives at May conference, Back -4th from left: Dominic Dale.

Leaving Seminar United Nations

LIFE AND THE MAN

The United Nations Junior Organisation in Mel-

bourne, consisting of school representatives, looks at the world from a small room in Askew House in

Lonsdale St. Approximately 40 students filled the room but each school is allowed only two representatives so groups were arranged accordingly. As the meetings progressed uniforms became faces and voices became names, and the atmosphere was distinctly friendly. The most important event of the year was the

interstate conference for fifty Matrics from all over Australia held at Merton Hall in the May holidays. The theme of the conference was Australia's Orientation east, west and the world. The con-

ference was a triumph in organisation; it was

definitely a success both socially and intellectually.

Thus the United Nations has developed a sys-

tem whereby its ideals can reach today's youth. Dominie Dale.

Fr. Almazan Earlier this year Matrics, Leavings and Inters

were fortunate enough to be present at St. Kevin's to hear Father Humberto Almazan tell of his life

and the meaning it attained after he joined the priesthood.

The aim of the Leaving Seminar was to discover the significance of the Eucharist in our lives and

it is agreed by all that the evening spent in spiritual pursuits was to a decided advantage. Thanks must be given to the enthusiastic and unvanquished instigators, Sisters Anne McPhee, Josephine Little and Jane Kelly, and to Father Michael Stoney and the eleven Jesuit scholastics who acted as helmsmen, steering the course of our discussions towards a greater knowledge and

appreciation of the Mass and the Eucharist. The seminqr was run along quite unprecedented lines, and featured Mass and discussion in the Maths Room, which was decorated with coloured posters of Warren Beaty, Mozart and John Lennon to name only a few. We also dined in the under-

croft, supping on such culinary delights as soup, hot dogs, cake and coffee.

However great the amount of preparation which went into this seminar, it cannot overshadow the

highly infectious spirit of unity and well-being that engulfed all those participating. Love and friend-

shop, which was one of our themes, radiated from exhilarated faces, and the tune-in or sing-a-long, which followed the "share-in" or Mass was entered

into with great gusto. However, on a more solemn note we must relate that the final song, :"The

burning of the school," was given a standing ovation, and an encore was called for.

G. Murphy, G. England, S. Lodge.

Of his secular life we learn that Father Almazan

was a superlative actor but having reached the heights he could only reflect:

Fr. Humberto Almazan.

"I thought that with ultimate success I had achieved happiness, but I hadn't. It was all transitory."

So in 1959 Father Almazan traded in his Oscar

for a soutane. After seven "terrible" fbars in a seminary he was ordained. Now he works as a missionary on the island of Bali. For six months of the year he travels, lecturing about his life and raising funds for his hospital. The rest of the time is spent in tirelessly working among the lepers. This actor turned priest is a living example of Christian dedication.

hour, all the frivolous and gay of the Loreto-St. Kevins co-ed classes arrived in their party attire. At ten past eight, the band made its presence felt with the melodious strains of the fox a trotting time with those old favourites-"Somewhere my love," "Harvest Moon," and other little-known dit-

A.A.C. Revue During the year a group of active form 4 students formed a money raising organization to benefit aboriginal welfare schemes. One of the fund-raising efforts took form in the memorable A.A.C. Revue.

Due to the untimely illness of Julie Spehr, an impromptu aspect for the revue was adopted, but in historically vaudevillian style, the show went on!

Altogether the show was a great success, (Do

decorated, permanently, by a large sign reading "Welcome to York."

After finding accommodation, I made my way to the Bar Convent, sited immediately outside Micklegate Bar, and in Blossom Street, rather

narrow and very busy. The front door of the Convent bears the date of its foundation, 1686. Among the interesting portraits of early Superiors, which fascinate the visitor as she waits in the little par-

where Mass was to be celebrated. The chapel, which Reverend Mother and Sister Margaret Mary showed me, was in the process of being painted in white and gold and being restored to its original Georgian style, in honour of its bi-centenary in July. I felt honoured to be kneeling with the nuns in the historic Bar Convent, which since 1686 has

Reverend Mother Aveilla, who welcomed me

very kindly, and Sister Loyola, who has uncovered by her persistent research, much valuable information concerning Mary Ward and also concerning the Martyrs of York, showed me many interesting relies. Later in the evening Sister Amadeus drove me over to St. Thomas' (formerly called St. Helena's) Anglican Church in Oswaldwick, formerly a village outside York, but now just part of the city. Apart from the altar, the focal point of this church is the very beautiful tombstone of Mary Ward, which is set in the middle of the wall on the right hand side. The tombstone,

both in its irregular shape, and in its fawn-grey colour, is like a piece of parchment inscribed in beautiful, deeply-cut lettering:-

Later in the morning, as Sister Margaret Mary showed me some of the treasures in the Library, 1 told her of the resolution which that same week-

end was being proposed by the Toorak Association at the Adelaide Federation Conference, that we endeavour to form an international Mary Ward

Society of past pupils of the I.B.V.M. and that in London we form a Mary Ward Group, for past

pupils resident in London or travelling to Europe. We had a very useful discussion and I left with Sister's blessing for the Scheme, and strict instructions to walk along the Roman Walls, en-

hanced there by daffodils, seeing York MINSTER before rushing back to catch the train. R. Trait.

Who having lived 60 years and 8 days dyed the 20 of January, 1645." Because of the historical value of the tomb-

stone, the Anglican Church will not surrender it to the I.B.V.M., but the English nuns seemed more than content to have Mary Ward honoured in this u ni q ue way. Sister Amadeus also took me over to the site of

Heyworth Manor where Mary Ward died in 1645. The Manor no longer exists, but Sister clambered up over rubbish heaps and onto fences to show

me two remaining steps which were part of the Manor. Several cottages, still inhabited, were on the lands of the Manor when Mary Ward lived there.

About twenty Mandeville girls under the coaching of Maitre O'Brien, have reached a prominent

position as fencers. This is the third year that this classical, yet popular sport has been taught at

Loreto.

Matches have been played with St. Kevins, Chadstone High, and Merton Hall. In the match with St. Kevins, Karen Corry, Natalie Rodriguez, Karen Griffiths-Smith and Jill Wellsted, after find-

ing that the score was 8-8, decided to "fence to a decision," and finally came out the victors. Natalie Rodriguez recently distinguished herself by coming second in the Under 15 championships.

Likewise, Jill Wellsted has also made quite a name for herself by coming fifth in B Grade Championships and by reaching the semi-finals in the Victorian Womens' Championship. Unfortunately, we haven't got space to mention the names of the other prominent fencers, but we would like to wish

them all the best of luck irrthis sporting field.

Softball had a short but successful season with

matches being played against various Catholic schools. Team spirit and standard reached a new peak with able coaching from the tireless Mrs. Schaeffer and Sister Jennifer.

Matches played between divisions indicated that next year's 1st Division team should be formidable opposition in future inter-school matches.

Association matches, which were played against schools such as Genazzano and Kildara, will be

continued next year and plans are also afoot to play other local non-Catholic schools. Jill Wellsted.

My First Communion Day.

1 woke up early, I was very overjoyed because this day was my First Communion Day. There were three Masses. I went to 9.30 Mass. My Father read the epistle and we had a seat reserved for us. Some children carried up the host and water and wi ne. We sang hymns at Mass. We al I shared the one large host. Then it was time to go to Communion. 1 received God for the first time!

I went home and had a big lunch with my Godmother, my Godfather, my Grandmother, the fam-

balloons and streamers. Mornane was decorated

with teddy bears dressed in green ribbons.

Shortly after the sports began there was a light shower and brightly coloured umbrellas went up

where spectators were sitting. The rain did not last long and the sports continued. When all the events were finished, the march-

ing began. This was followed by presentation of cups. The hushed crowd waited to learn the winning team. It was announced-Mulhall! The Cap-

tain came forward to receive the cup. Loreto's Junior Sports 1969 had been a memorable day for everyone.

Kathleen Nowotny, Grade 5. The Concert

Excitement mounted as we awaited the moment

when the lights go out and the curtains would be lifted to reveal the brilliantly lit stage. The signal

for silence was given ahd the low mumbling of girls ceased immediately. Silence reigned in the room in which we awaited our appearance on stage. The great night had arrived. I looked back on all the fun we had had when

missing out on lessons at rehearsal times, but now the long awaited moment was here. We as-

sembled at the door and passed on into another world-one of make-believe. 1 recited my part slowly and carefully, trying to remember what I had rehearsed.

Then it was all over and as the final notes of

music faded we heard people clapping and clapping. Surely they must have liked us they sounded so happy. We laughed with relief now, glad that the concert had been a success.

Jane Newing, Grade 5. Art

Yesterday we had art and it was great fun. There are five groups, with six in each, and each group has a different subject. Our group had tex-

tiles. We were each given a piece of material and we had to pretend we were walking around the block. We sewed big stitches and little stitches to resemble big and little steps. In fact all the steps and patterns we do when we fall over or stop to

talk to anyone, make a blob of stitches. If we walk around a tree we make a circle of stitches.

Art is great fun and I enjoy it very much. Ruth Jones, Grade 5.

Matriculation 1968 ..

As a recent integral part of the community of Mandeville, the 1968 Matriculation class has now

spread beyond the confines of school and student life. The courses followed by various individuals indicate some of the numerous ways in which a person can become more practically involved in those larger communities which ultimately consti-

tute society. Whether at university, technical college, business college or hospital, each one learns to achieve a greater measure of social responsibility consequent upon increased freedom.

Glimpses of Post-Matriculation Life INTRODUCING MERCER HOUSE A.T.T.1.

HOLMES' COMMERCIAL COLLEGE

Mercer House is an Independent Teachers' College in Armadale. The college provides trained teachers for Australia's Independent schools. Because fees are paid, no bond is involved. Qualifications

are

awarded

when

students

reach the required standards in theory and practice. There are no exams but progress is assessed on assignments and practical work. During first

and second terms, the twenty-eight first-year students of the Three Year Primary Teaching Course, spend Mondays on excursions to places of interest around Melbourne. From third term on, students

spend every Monday, as well as a full week each term, in an Independent school. Subjects studied at college include Foundations of Education, Maths, English, Science, Environment, Art, Music and Movement.

am-·

There are 120 full-time students at College, with the result that there is a friendly and personal atmosphere. Little stress is laid on divisions of years and sex, but rather on the advantages of democratic living. This is arrived at through an elected governing body, the Student-Staff Representative Council. Extra-curricular activities in-

Why did I decide to enrol at Holmes' Commercial College? Mainly because I did not feel inclined to any form of tertiary education involving years of study, and as far as opportunities go, this seemed the next best thing.

To my surprise, 1 found my nine months' course at Holmes' both enjoyable and rewarding. I made

many new friendships amongst the 500 day students, as well as strengthening ones with some of the numerous old Loreto girls also training there. Holmes bridges the gap between the life of a

schoolgirl and that of a business girl more than adequately.

Now that I am settled in my position I am find-

ing it varied and interesting, even exciting, and

my training at Holmes has prepared me thoroughly in my secretarial skills as well as general business etiquette, which is equally important. So, to those who are in the same position as I was, I feel it would be a worth-while course to

follow, as my life as a secretary involves far more

than shorthand and typing and I am thoroughly enjoying my new-found responsibility. Sally Breheny.

EPILOGUE ...

December, 1969, sees the break-up of

one community, a unity of persons never to be repeated. Yet another Matriculation class, follow-

ing the inevitable pattern, has grown up and gone away; another Mistress of Schools has said farewell to Mandeville.

But there is a wider, changeless community for which Mandeville has been but a preparation...

The family of man to which we, as mature and responsible Christians, have

much to give, in and through which the

spirit of God moves with power and love. It is only when rooted in love, founded on the love of Christ-in whom we live,

breathe and have our being-that our community finds its deepest realization. For the constancy basic to human relationships, we take the symbol of hands clasped in friendship.

"By this shall all men know that you are my disciples"...

May those who will see Mandeville

through the seventies and beyond, ever echo the words so familiar, yet so necessary to the true development of community:

"Peace be with you!"
