EDITORIAL

Man in relation to his environment in relation to his inner self, a

perspective of man - such is the search of every individual. Society remains nonplussed by the enigma of humanity; its diversity, its idealism, its hypocrisy. Man is a startling confusion of good and evil, right and wrong and this conclusion is apparent to all. In our daily lives we are searching for something greater and, seek a solution rather than a conclusion. It is this search that raises Man above other animals.

If it was possible to supply immediately the answer to our questions, to settle our unrest, to educate our ignorance, the

perspective would change. Man perhaps would be aware and satisfied with his humanity, aware of the limitations and deviations that this, his identity entails. However, this is not the case: we still continued our

ceaseless probing, questioning, searching in our desire to find that elusive solution, that cure to all ills, the salvation of all evil. And it is

thus we pass another year at Mandeville, gaining from our search much knowledge, much experience and an ever-increasing possibility that one day we will solve those unanswered questions through our awareness of, and participation in, the Christian ideal. This magazine is the fruit of our year, the physical representation of our search, the evidence of our growth.

MOIRAWESTMORE SCHOOL CAPTAIN

In her opening speech of this year Moira suggested that 'Good things come in small

packages' and throughout this year has continually proven the validity of this age old saying. It has often been surmised as to what the ideal Captain should be,

and we suggest that Moira has answered all ou que ies. A School Captain should /4*

TOMORROW AND TOMORROW

To all those Asian migrants who are handicapped in English and consequently feel too inadequate to speak up, 1 dedicate this essay.

Stroiling down the street, she could not help avoiding the

curious stares cast on her by the passers-by. No doubj.... she

was a stranger here...a stranger and a visitor from ad istant and foreign land. She could feel the awkwardness creeping up her spine. She blushed and unconsciously brushed her black shiny hair towards the back of her head. Passing by a shop she stopped and looked into the thick reflecting window-pane. She recognised a familiar image... dark black hair, dark slanted eyes, and yellow face containing every Asian feature. She unconsciously smiled at the image...

"Can I help you, Miss?"

"Oh ...Oh...1 was just looking around..."

She turned around the corner of the street. Luckily she found the right street. Melbourne though small for many, was

indeed too big for her. She remembered once being lost in one

of those busy roads, and fortunately she came across a nice Australian lady, who willingly showed her the way...

Down the street, a tram was advancing slowly. She took out her wallet and inspected the contents. Having satisfied herself with the inspection, she abruptly put it back into her pocket... You have to be careful in a foreign land... never can you run short of money, she thought. The tram had eventually pulled up next to her. She hurriedly got on and

chose for hereself a seat next to the window.... thirty cents

to the station ... Looking up she observed that a few old ladies were staring hard at her and critically examining her in the meantime. Blushed ... The younger people found her funny but they soon got used to her and she felt more at ease with them ... She must admit that the older generation was

less used to foreigners... She got a bit annoyed at their stares

and she returned their stares.

Getting off the tram, she walked towards her flat. It was a nice neat one in this area, she thought, she'd wasted a lot of

time finding it. Opening the door, she stepped into the apartment. No one was home yet ... her sister would have L,/

gone to a meeting by now.

Looking around the room, she instantly heaved a sigh of relief. She had never felt so safe except in this flat. Outside... yes, outside she was a stranger and the cold strange feeling had gripped hold of her and had never left her. Only been here for half of year ... 1'11 soon get over this feeling... besides everyone felt strange sometimes... she thought. She must admit she was a shy person, and she no doubt, found hard to adapt to a new environment with all those new faces. Most of

the time she wanted to stay in and forget all about the outside.

Yet she knew it was foolish to do so.

"The Australians are nice people... reach out for them,

No use ... everytime she tried to explain to her, she just wouldn't understand.

"Everytime I talk, 1 blush and stammer Sis, I have tried

... I'm simply too scared to speak in English ...1,.."no use to explain...

It was about time to get ready for tea.

Slowly she took out the frozen chops from the fridge. She hated to cook... never could do well in Australian way ... anyway, I'm a dumb person... she thought.

She lit the stove and spread oil on top of the pan. The oil droplets were agitated by the heat beneath them and sprang up onto her face. She rapidly placed the meat into the pan.

Australian cooking was funny...so different from back home ... Home ... haven't written for months. Nothing to say was the reason behind it... Nevertheless she had longed for home

and she blamed her parents for sending her here and she

wouldn't forgive hereself for making her life so miserable.

"I might end up living here all my life . . ." this thought gave her a cold shiver. She liked Australia but she found no place for her here. She could never forgive herself for that...

The meat has turned pitch black ... no, 1 mustn't dream

again... she checked herself. Honestly, she'd met quite a few Australians here and they were all nice to her. Among all of them she liked Sarah the best. She'd tried so hard to show her

appreciation for her kindness. Yet she could not put it into words ... She'd secretly sewn up a scarf for Sarah but she hadn't had courage enough to give it to her and to thank her.

Too bad ...my shyness is killing me. They would turn away from her, she could clearly recollect thinking she was a cold

dumb person ... They never could understand... that is the difference between people here and Asians. People back home seldom showed their feelings, as rapidly as people here do...

They didn't say "gorgeous" when they mean nice... and they didn't ... Meat! ! the meat was nearly half burnt... Half-past

seven already, got to hurry up setting the table. Sis would be

back at any moment. She spread the tablecloth on the square

wooden table. The Australian map on it caught her eyes. She lowered her fingers and traced out the winding coastline of the

island ... Australia ... Australia ... She had heard of

Australia, seen Australia, but never yet been "in it", of it,

belonging - that Australian feeling was lacking in her. That's bad, I 've got to change if I were to live here ...It was never too late. ·Today gone ... tomorrow would come again, she thought.

... Tomorrow, tomorrow ... Yes! Tomorrow would be a better day for her. Tomorrow, she will give Sarah the scarf..!

There are so many ironies and contradictions in life today, that if you were to dwell on them you would surely have to laugh, because to cry would be to give up hope, to conceed defeat.

vividly that self-centred thinking cannot lead to a fulfilled individual, for in the actions, ideas and emotions of others we will always find something of ourselves. In the materialistic

society in which we live, there is an all too common tendency towards self-alienation. This is turn produces a state of blissful ignorance, where man may peer at the world and the

happenings of other individuals through tiny cracks in the wall he builds around himself. All

events may be neatly categorized and all actions scrutinized from a safe distance. But ultimately someone, or something, will break this barrier.

It is at this point that character development can once again continue.

when man has developed the greatest power resources of all time, the atom, he uses it not to

provide electricity to light the world, but to draw a mushroom of defeat for a wearied foe. If one

cannot laugh at this absurdity then surely you

must cry. If you cry you can no longer be a thinking being; you are now someone who feels deeply.

I say this because a true thinker will look to the future and see the promise that has always shone and will inevitably shine before mankind.

When he sees this, his hopes for a utopia on earth will dry away his tears and he will laugh at the foQlishness of his own kind who have not yet seen the victory ahead.

But the man who mourns for his fellow man

should not be condemned because he has in him,

nal - hate, fear, love, lust or even pure need for physical violence are present within us all.

Often man builds that proverbial wall around himself and allows his emotions of hate,

fear and loneliness to engulf him. It is such an individual, not a generation, who claims that

friendship causes pain. However, it is at this point that Donne's words echo through - it is not friendship that causes pain, it is the

causes of pain, but first look to himself.

PEACE

For me, the word PEACE has a variety of meanings, mainly

because of its abstract nature. Peace is not something concrete -

it can be almost imperceptible, something much harder to define and describe.

When first I think of PEACE I immediately associate it with peace of mind. I know peace may be contrasted with war and closely associated with love, but ultimately, before all these things may be considered. there must be peace of mind individually and collectively.

Here again, I find that there seem to be shades of meaning

within meaning. For some people, peace of mind is a state when they are relaxed, enjoying a compatible relationship with friends or family. For others, peace of mind may mean the times when

their conscience is at peace with God, when they are alone and content, regardless of their relationship with the mundane matters of this world. Some people may achieve this peace of mind and contentment in outwardly appalling conditions - a prison camp, a slum, a personal tragedy.

I believe that every individual has a different interpretation

of this state of mind and in fact, many people believe that total peace of mind is perfection, and therefore too intangible and absolute a concept to be considered.

Personally, 1 think this peace can be realised only to a certain

degree. Perhaps it could be grasped only by cutting oneself ott completely from the world, because in this life, there are too many problems and hardships for complete peace in whatever form the individual would like to conceive it.

Perhaps the mystic has grasped this state in his determined

search to shake himself free of our wordly trappings and inhibitions. For one thing is certain, that only by discarding

materialism in all its forms, can a person hope to discover even the partial truth of the meaning of Peace of Mind.

Deirdre Coleman

facet of an immense and complex entity called man who is never revealed to the depth we could call rock bottom. One mask may slip but another mask, which may be the skin or the quick, is revealed, which is why man is so fascinating, so unfathomable and unique.

In our lifetime we are a continual shop-dummy figure who is

ciothed by many different' fashions. If it is fashionable to wear

florals, the dummy wears florals; if it is in vogue to be softly seductive, every girl, even those who think they are uncompromising and entirely one person, tries to be seductive.

From babyhood to death we are changing, masked by

tradition, habit, environment, and our own ideals. In childhood

we try to be grown-up but are naive enough to believe this comes through wearing high heels and sipping tea with genteel

politeness. Adolescence brings new problems and we may as well

say, "What mask shall I wear today?" as "What dress?" We are seeking a 'stability constant' through society and ourselves, and the masks with which we experiment.

I used to think,surely the older members of the community

had outgrown masks and change, but even here we see the housewife become well groomed and confident for an anniversary

dinner, or a nine-to-five business man reveal a noble streak, or a

fighting spirit, or a vicious mask put on in a committee meeting room. Even at death, the great equilizer, one hears of those who must put on a brave front to help lessen the suffering of others.

In our dreams we slip away to a world where we are what we wouldn't dare try to be in real life. We become perfectly made, with an idyllic existence and we put on a mask we can't forrn in our waking hours.

The phrase 'we are masked' automatically seems to have distasteful associations as if it was wrong, but I believe that there is no 'real' personality which supersedes all others in an individual. We are but a series of changing units in a parade of

humanity, and the unreality comes when we try to put on the

wrong mask, and don't see its poor workmanship.

THE BATTLER

Old Sam was discouraged. Perhaps for the first time in his life he had begun to think about himself. What he·saw did not please him. What was he? A white-headed, bad tempered old - yes old man. He glanced down to his worn, dusty boots, the leather cracked and peeling, the laces broken and worn, just like the rest of me, he thought, old, dirty and most of all, useless. He sat down on a log at the side of the road, and produced a battered packet

of ' Drum.' Swiftly and expertly he rolled himself a cigarette.

Putting it between his cracked lips, he lit it. The sun was warm on his head and back, and the dew was still on the grass. Further up the road the wind swirled the dull brown dust, making it dance merrily. "Hot day", he thought to himself and reaching into the pocket of his ancient tweed coat he took out a bottle; raising it to his mouth he took a large swig, and then another, he recorded it and returned it to his pocket. He smiled grimly to himself, "At it again", he thought wryly, "Can't leave that bottle alone." He took a deep drag on his cigarette and shifted his position. His back was beginning to play up on him again, it seemed to be getting worse every day. "VII probably die of it", he thought,

"that is, if the drink doesn't kill me first".

He raised his eyes to the sky, it was blue, a deep blue. He stretched himself out on the grass took his hat from his head and covered his face with it, to keep off the sun. He shut his eyes and thought.

He thought of the old days, his mother warm kind and helpful, his sisters and his brothers. How long ago was it? Twenty years, thirty; Too long he reflected mournfully, he wished he

Perhaps they're dead; he rejected this as soon as he thought of it.

He remembered his father, stern but kindly, helping him with his work, always ready to lend a hand. 1 loved him, thought Sam. Then his mind jumped to the war, the sound of the guns roared in

his mind, the cries of anguish pierced his brain, he shook with terror. Then there was Bess, beautiful Bess, his wife, his woman.

His mouth twisted painfully, she had died so tragically. Why had God done this to him?

He never had money, never had security, never had anything but her and she's dead. God had done this to him. All he had now K. Hill, A. Hipgrave, J. Peppard, W. Stelmach, J. Hall, J. O'Halloran, M.A. Crosbie, S. Crook.

was the bottle and he was sick to death of life. He didn't live, he

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

ADVERTISING

At the moment advertising reigns with almost no restrictions placed on it, as a sometimes deceptive method of selling. Yet could we do without it? Of course not. And why? Because,

advertising no matter how deceptive keeps the world in touch with new ideas and inventions, it informs us of how, where and

when, new and old goods and various sorts of product lines can .

be obtained. Advertising helps to keep the standard's of anything high. Advertising creates competition, and all manufacturers strive harder than each other to produce the finest quality goods at the lowest prices, so they can beat the next man in gaining a greater portion of the market.

A survey taken in 1970 shews that $13 billion was being spent on advertising a year in the U.S. It seems a ridiculous amount of money to spend trying to win a market. Surely if the product you produce is good enough, it should win the people's market. It appears, that if a company is laying out money on sales promotion that there will not be enough money and research

going into the product and therefore the product will deteriorate.

From the corner grocery store, to the largest corporation,

advertising is necessary. Advertising in its literal sense comes from a French work "avertir" which means to notify. This is truly the

Footprints in the sand is All that is left of the someone I need to know but cannot find.

But to me they go on To the place I want to go.

Yet I have not the courage To go and follow footprints.

But they lead on

context in which advertising should exist, as a means to notify people about a product and not to deceive them.

I would like to see courses in consumer education brought into all schools. These courses should teach a basic consumer-

arithmetic, e.g. a ratio price, quantity problem could be solved

with a little simple arithmetic and assist a shopper to save money.

The courses should also teach people a basic composeur to which shoppers must try to contain themselves, when they are subject themselves to the onslaught of devious con men and the noisy overcrowded supermarkets. The courses should also give the shopper an outline of his rights; they should teach people how to deal with hire purchase, credit and finance. Most important of all it should make people aware of the fact that they.have powers of induction, deduction and reasoning, and if they fail to use these blessings, and take everything for granted that they hear, they will soon find that their blindness will be burning a hole in their pocket.

I turned the shining tap, and rolled up my sleeves, The splashing of clear water crashed onto smooth china. Hands cupped, 1 threw the water onto my face. Again and again until the black mascara ran, and the eye shadow smudged in blue streaks. The soap oiled my hands and slid through, making frothy bubbles in the water.

The sweet fresh perfume filled the bathroom, while the splashes and drips moistened the tiles. My fingers crept over my face, gradually working into a white foaming lather. 1 heard nothing,

but the hissing of soap bubbles and ripples of water. The sting of soapy water oozed under my eyelids, while the soap worked into every crevice of my face.

I rinsed my skin, until every white balloon had disappeared.

More and more water, until I was dripping, cold, clean. With slippery hands I groped for the towel. At last, 1 rested on the welcome warmth. Softly I patted my face dry. 1 emptied the basin, mopped up the mess, and felt a little cleaner.

THE COUNTRY

You look into the roaring mass With eyes a glaring they stare back

The soft-footed movement of nature is there.

The picking of the golden pear, So ripe and juicy in the gold afternoon sun

I wither under the frozen stare

They all hate me, all those out there.

Hanging from the boughs of the great green pear tree.

The country is where I would like to be, The warm sunny day's passing by me.

In the back or did he fall?

The easy way I'll bounce the ball.

Up it goes, down they fall

Rising every morning at the crack of dawn, Helping with the wheat and grinding the corn.

Where oh where is that darn ball?

I would love to ride my horse all over the field, To feel his strong neck as I jerk him to yield, The excitement of being free, to roam all alone,

The Hawks snore, the Dons roar

The Hawks supporters think what a bore

The Dons are winning, the Hawks are spinning The Dons' supporters go home grinning.

To hear the birds' sweet songs as they fly through mid-air.

To be able to feel breezes as they blow through my hair.

The stallion, his forelegs high in the air, was the most

vicious, beautiful thing I had ever seen. His head flung back, his eyes wild and cruel, he reared over the helpless deer, ready to crash down onto its back with his gleaming hooves. The

wind blown mane was lifted, as if a playful breeze had caught it, and was pushing it over to one side of the strongly arched neck. The sight of those flashing teeth made me want to help to run and pull the fawn away.

But I knew that there was no help, knew that the soft body, one foreleg drawn back as if to give protection, the soft face with its terror stricken eyes was to go unheeded. A scene of what was to come flashed through my mind.

He was holding a box of sweets, showing them to a young boy who was not very interested but more interested in a round blue box on the top shelf which he kept pointing to. It was surrounded by assorted boxes. The man reached forward to the little boy's delight it was a gigantic Easter egg wrapped in blue silver paper. Around it were many little eggs, some speckled, others stripped, some checked and others just plain.

The boy pointed to another article but because of the

HER THOUGHT

The 20th Century is equally an age of transition.

New forces of Government have arisen, socialism and

communism have spread rapidly. Modern Communications tend to unite the struggling peoples of the world as they realise

inequalities and injustices which call for redress. However, instead of discovering a New World here on earth, we now are exploring the moon.

Literature yields to science, and technological triumphs C

encourage man to attempt to do without God. The person is in danger of being lost in the impersonal forces which control our society.

On the other hand here is a movement of love and

understanding between various churches and awareness of past

failuIes and readiness to witness more fully Love in the future. In this movement Mary Ward would surely have been a leader in

Many eminent writers have drawn attention to the fact that Mary Ward was an outstanding educationalist and an extraordinarily farseeing woman. Her vision stretched centuries ahead of her time.

She had an extremely high opinion of the possibilities that could be achieved by woman. With prophetic insight, she declared that "woman in time to come will do much" and elsewhere -

"I would to God that all men understood this verity: that women, if they will be perfect and if they will not make us believe we can do nothing and that we are "but women", we might do great matters.

Something of John is in her, much of Paul,

She's of Teresa's company - the rapt soul .

(In journeyings often, perils, false brethren's guile);

Quiv'ring to take to God its eagle flight, And John's, who took high Calvary for his goal, And climbed to Morning through the spirit's night.

Of Magdalen who must give naught or all;

Of Agnes, radiant midst a rabble vile.

Ignation ardour fires this woman's might, And Xavier's zeal all things in Christ to restore, Something of Joan, calm, armoured for the fight, Merry like Francis and St. Thomas More.

Something, O Virgin Mother, dare we claim -

Something, O peerless Handmaid of the Lord Which makes it sweet for her to bear thy name We find in this our Mother, Mary Ward.

To cater for the "sweet-tooths" of Mandeville we have found it necessary to

widen our range of delicacies. The most significant additions have been to the line of sweets with "Buddies" coming to the fore. The 3rd division with their frequent cake sales and fetes have kept our appetites at bay. The selling of hot 4 soups and coffees have provided welcomed warmth during the chilly winter months.

MARRYATVILLE

"That onions are more romantic than orchids," and "That Adelaide is no more than an outer suburb of Melbourne,"

22 &244

were the topics debated during this year's visit by girls from Loreto, Marryatville.

Liz Gaynor, Sue Moran and Anne Burgi took the affirmative in the first debate, and the audience was treated to an hilarious rendering of "That onions are more romantic than orchids". Mandeville emphasized the yearning of every girl for a lasting earthy fragrance, as in the noble onion. Marryatville dwelt on the distasteful odours of the onion as compared with the fragrance of the orchid. However, both teams wilted when the adjudicator apologetically informed them that orchids don't smell.

Meg Sleeman, Bernadette Wilson and Moira Westmore debated the negative of the second topic. Marryatville

argued that an outer suburb is just a smaller version of a city, and informed us of Adelaide's sad lack of pubs and other important facilities. We examined the geographical aspect, (Melbourne's official suburbia extends twenty-three

miles from the G.P.O.), and dealt with Adelaide's unique character, which makes it more than an outer suburb.

However, a certain second speaker, (B.W.), unintentionally introduced a touch of humour when she commented, "1

may not be very bright . . ." - what followed was drowned in a loud burst of applause!

Both debates were won by the home teams, and were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Two matric and leaving teams competed again this year in the C.Y.M.S. debating competition. The competition, which in 1971 was won by Santa Maria, Northcote with Mandeville a close second, aims to provide some type of formal encouragement to senior students interested in public speaking. But as well as this it creates an excuse for more social relationships between Catholic schools around Melbourne ranging from Rupertswood through to Essendon.

Whatever reasons a person has for joining a debating team, it seems that inevitably one benefits both socially and academically.

The two matric teams this year have both had five

debates with Anne Burgi, Susan Moran, Elizabeth Gaynor and Maryanne Mooney, winning two, drawing one and losing the remaining two. The second team - Meg Sleeman, Bernadette Wilson and Moira Westmore have won all five debates, and hopes are high for the finals.

The leaving teams recruited many new and successful debaters this year with both Marnie Brennan and Debbie

Spooner having been awarded best speaker on several occasions. Although these teams have (so far this year), each

only won one debate out of the four, their losses have been far from resounding.

Thanks must go to Sister Geraldine without whom many of the debates would never have been completed and in fact would never have been arranged.

STUDENT-TEACHER DEBATE

Sister Sonia, Mrs. Planten, Sr. Anne McPhee versus Moira j Westmore, Sue Moran and Liz Gaynor ...- That was how they lined up for the big event of the year - The Mother Superior's - Feast-Day-Student-Teacher-Debate. The Topic?

"That Students Are . . ."

The case for the affirmative was opened by Moira Westmore, who defined the topic with the aid of her /7

oversized dictionary, (edited by Gaynor & Gaynor), and then I

proceeded to show that students most definitely are all that is

good, courageous, (and small). Sister Sonia began for the

negative by proving that the race of students (contrary to popular belief) did not even exist. Her discourse was somewhat interrupted by the resonant tones Of the adjudicator's bell, borrowed from the convent, and heftily

Sue Moran continued the students' case by referring to the fashionable qualities of students (blue nail polish is all the rage), their loving natures (as exhibited at luncheon service), and the phenomenon of the students "ah". She was then followed by Mrs. Planten, who, between mouthfuls of saltwater, introduced two completely new views of the topic.

We were told of the sad fate of the stewed ant who, once stewed, are unfortunately, no more; nor did the students' aunt escape her evil eye.

Elizabeth Gaynor summed up the government's case by referring to the rather obvious fact that students star in everything they do; simultaneously, she fluttered her eyelashes and utilized her charms, in order to win a certain adjucator to her side. Sr. Anne MePhee then astounded all by referring to the fact that students "R" not - thev neither 4 read, 'rite' nor do 'rithmetic'. The four adjudicators (Misses 1

On 5th December last year, the Senior School presented the production of Rogers and Hammerstein's "King and I". Members of the Senior Choir and Third Division participated in this musical, in which Sue Hipgrave played Anna and Julianne Blake played the part of the King. Other main characters included Christina Mitchell (Captain Orton), Linda Farrell (Louis), Rosemary 91%2

Katrina Nossal (Princess Ying Yaowlak). Everybody who was interested participated as there were also parts for wives, priests

and children. The production was not limited to merely dialogue and singing but included as well a spectatular ballet, "The Small FINALE SCENE FROM "THE KING AND I"

House of Uncle Thomas" which members of the Third Division

presented.

Obviously a tremendous amount of time (including

The masterful acting of Mr. Tom Steward and Mr. Peter

A mature Sally Brennan carried off the part of the real Charley's Aunt to everyone's satisfaction; Peter Pueilowski proved to all that age is no barrier to romance and Miss Gig Ryan was more demure than she is ever likely to be again.

Stephen McSteen was a suitably unpleasant guardian and the capabilities of Dennis in his part of butler-cum-housemaid

cannot be overstated.

'Charley's Aunt'was thrown open to the public at the AMP Theatre, shown to an appreciative audience at St. Kevin's and entered in the Catholic Schools Drama Festival in which -t triumphantly emerged as the winner.

to the beat of a drum or sometimes relax our bodies by lying

stretched out on the floor. Occasionally we all imagine fhat we

The play shows that history is not a clear story of progress

from barbarism to civilisation, but that it goes in circles.

"Boom Bang Bust" was a cunning and expressive revue

on Australian society. Though funny on the outside, it was really factual and frightening. We saw from the beginning, the development of Australia. Convicts, aborigines, the consumer bug were all mentioned. It began with a skit of two brash, not too delicate, Australians picnicking. Overtheir shoulders flew

the litter, then came the suggestions of bulldozing those "ugly" looking trees, and adding some "beautiful" concrete

cafes; perhaps a floating one on the river, so we could eat our ice-creams and sweets looking at the water, then obscure the

view with papers and cans. There were various other short (6) skits on the convicts, emancipists, and the rich of that time; aborigines and the consumer bug. According to this bug everyone wants to work harder, earn more and buy more. The main theme of the production, 1 thought, was that there are always the people who take and never give, and consequently someone has to pay.

CATECHIST COURSE

This year six Mandeville girls took part in a twelve weeks catechist Course at De La Salle College. Each week the girls attended a lecture given by Father Stewart, after which they split into tutorial groups in which child psychology was discussed. A mass began and concluded the course, and in fact it seemed the only appropriate way of ending such a fruitful and developing course. These girls are now fully qualified first year Catechists.

MATRIC - RELIGION

This year the matrics have been studying religion from three completely different angles. Sr. Anne, Sr. Geraldine, Mr. Brennan and Mr. Drummond have alternated between the two classes to

present the different aspects of religion to us.

Mr. Drummond's classes were based on the study and

understanding of scripture, in particular the Gospeis. Mr.

Brennan's classes entailed a series of most informative and

interesting lectures on Comparitive Religion. In Sr. Anne's and Sr. Geraldine's classes we concentrated on discussing religion from a practical point of view, which was designed to make us know and love God better.

Altogether, the matrics viewed Religion from three very new aspects. Religion plays a very important part in our lives as

Christians and through these classes (for many of us the last), we have furthered our Christian beliefs and understanding of God

CHRISTIAN LIVING CAMPS

The concept of communal living, in conjunction with a different form of religious experience, was explored by a number of Matriculation students at Christian Living Camps held through the year. These camps were held at Mt. Macedon and Kallista, each one being of three days' duration. Other schools were also involved, namely De La Salle, Windsor, St. Bede's and O.L.S.H.

The forms the camps took were generally an appreciation

Heriot and Daly. The trumpet fanfare and accompaniment, provided by St. Kevin's, was an interesting innovation which created a stimulating opening to the Mass.

All classes contributed gifts of food and clothing which were accepted by Mother Superior in each class before the Mass and presented at the Offertory. These gifts were later distributed to various charitable organisations and were given to the poor of Melbourne. That these gifts were much appreciated, is evidenced

by the numerous letters of thanks received, and we hope that Mother Superior will continue to be pleased with the spirit of giving that her Feast Day always encourages.

of the relationship of daily life and individual experience, with that of religion and the community. The activities at the camps varied from light-hearted participation in activities designed to test our reactions to, and awareness of, other individuals. At Kallista, an example of this was a game of "rats and rabbits", followed by a game of "blind man's buff", where everyone was blindfolded, placed in pairs, and asked to talk to someone for ten minutes without knowing his or her identity.

The rest of the time was filled with walks, discussions,

mimes (the latter were a highlight of the camp, as they were

unconventional and very meaningful), plays, riding, swimming

(for those who were brave enough), singing, and many other activities that made up a fantastic week-end.

The masses that were held were completely different from

any we had ever experienced. Everyone gathered around the altar which was a table placed in the centre of the dining-room. The host was of flat wholemeal bread, which was broken into little pieces for Communion.

The camps were physically and mentally exhausting but

tremendously enjoyable, and for many, they provided, if not solutions to individual problems, at least a knowledge that help was at hand. Everyone is most grateful to the teachers and others who accompanied us, and we were all sad to leave on the Sunday afternoons. But it did not finish there, we are all still good friends and the memories of the camps will linger in our hearts forever.

SODALITY:

Once again the tradition of Sodality was kept alive this

year. Each week a small group of Matrics gathered together in the Priest's Library for a half-hour discussion which usually extended to an hour. Father Byrne conducted the group, guiding us along a wide range of topics ranging from Women's Lib,in the Church to life after death.

Unfortunately for us, as Father Byrne was called

overseas to study in England, Sodality continued only for the first half of the year. I am sure that all those who attended the the sessions would agree that they were of great practical use in our lives. The ideas put forward by Father Byrne were both enlightening and at times entertaining but always thoughtprovoking so that Sodality was not solely an hour discussion once a week.

The Leavings, guided by Father Raper and Mr. Brennan, picked up where the Matrics left off. We hope they also found the discussions a source of aid and inspiration.

ATHLETICS

Much to our delight, Mandeville had a thrilling success in Athletics this year. This was most certainly due to the

overwhelming number of girls who participated, particularly in the Second and Third Divisions.

Unfortunately the Senior School lawn was not available for

training due to tile redevelopment scheme, but nevertheless the girls made enthusiastic use of the Toorak Park Oval both during and after school hours.

On Saturday, March 18, Mandeville competed in the "The Victorian School Girls Championship" at Royal Park and finished remarkably well - coming second to Altona High. Two of our girls won gold medals - Marie Kehan won the 400 metres event

and Mary-Lou Scally finished first in the Under 15 discus. The list

of second and third place getters is too long to mention.

to the girls and their coach for this fine effort.

I do hope that the up-and-coming talent will fulfil their

LIBRARY

Sl NCE the library has changed to a centre of general research

the Matrics have taken it upon themselves to usf it as a common room (when, of course the younger forms are not being brainwashed into liking reading by our dedicated Mrs. Planten). Over this year there has been many a battle fought

over such elusive books as Crisp and Overacker and if you were not interested in bloodshed the library was THE place to

and Mrs. Planten is seriously thinking of putting up a little brass plate and charging fees for her advice. One thing we know is that if the workroom walls had ears and could write

we would be blest with the most interesting Library page ever printed.

Life in this precinct of the school is not always serious

This year the library has made a tremendous advance, not only

such as the day Mrs. Planten and friends were in the workroom

because of the new equipment, but in that the main purpose

distraught Mrs. MacDonagh telling them of the thirty (30)

In former years when a student had a free period, she

spent it in the library doing private study. To overcome this difficulty, the Maths Room was transformed into a place for private study. The library is now better equipped to help the

girls with their many varied needs.

The Higher School Certificate Students are more dependant on the library than any other form. In an attempt

to cover their needs, as well as those of the young students, several pieces of new equipment have been introduced. The most noticeable development took the form of the photo

copier. I n former years, when faced with masses of reference material, the much harassed Matric Student would be forced

to transcribe pages of important research; now for the price of a few cents, she can obtain an exact replica in only seconds.

The cassette recorders receive a great deal of use. The school now boasts an extensive cassette library with tapes

covering a wide range of subjects including French, German and English.

The expansion of the number of books in the library can be seen from the rapid filling of new book shelves. The fiction section has been most affected by the influx of new reading material; we have a new Britannica and many more reference books.

The library hopes that the girls will continue to take

advantage of the new book shelves and other equipment, and perhaps from this they will learn to appreciate the role the

library plays in the daily life of any school.

boy-friends who had just arrived. Unfortunately, in spite of our feminine charms these boy-friends seemed to melt into the covers of thirty editions of THE BOYFRIEND as soon as we appeared.

For the information of those misers who begrudge

paying their library fines, we will now reveal that they go to a Fiji fund established by Mrs. MacDonagh to pay for her holiday!

To end upon a more serious note - the success of a school library does not depend upon the book range or the

amount of available equipment but upon the hard work and co-operation of the librarian and all her helpers. This year we must thank a very enthusiastic library Committee who, Mrs. Planten assures us, have done a tremendous amount to keep

the library running efficiently.

We must thank in particular those kind and efficient

mothers whom no confusion seems to deter, Mrs. P. Burke,

Mrs. J. Kiernan, Mrs. M. Hipgrave, Mrs. M. Crosbie and Mrs. B. Kelly - they have given us considerable time this year and we are very grateful. Last but by no means least, our thanks must go to those industrious fourth formers, Maria Tarrant and

Jenny Baillie, who provided (along with work!) considerable comfort, coffee, cordiality and cheerfulness in the workroom.

Without the efforts of these people, our library would not be the success it is. We hope that next year, and in the future, the students will continue to take an active interest and

ensure the library's growth and its unique place in the life of the school.

CATHOLIC SOCIAL WELFARE

28th JULY

Over the weekend starting Friday July 28th a Private

On 28th July, Mr. Ronald Conway, Senior Psychologist at St. Vincent's Hospital and author of "The Great Australian

Collection of Art was exhibited at Mandeville Hall.

The exhibition consisted of paintings by landscape artist Norma Kett, welded steel and glass sculpture by Hans Knorr (whose daughter Kristen attends Mandeville), and copper, enamel and silver jewellery by Dr. M. Thomas and Mrs. V. Thomas.

The exhibition was held in the front parlour and along the balcony. In the parlour the lighting effects were provided

by Mr. 1. Leber. Norma Kett, on Sunday, painted a landscape and the picture was then auctioned.

The two days of the exhibition raised $1,100 for "Catholic Social Welfare". Many thanks go to everyone who helped in any way to make the weekend so successful.

Stupor", gave a talk on "The Family".

His message came through very clearly - the family is, or should be, the centre of life.

We live in troubled times and values have become rather

mixed. Mr. Conway believes that there should be compulsory education for marriage - not just sex education, but a

thorough grounding in the art of communication and planning for the future - personal and family - where and how each wants to go. In this way the partners have a clear understanding of their life ahead and can organize themselves to cope properly with a family.

At present, with the way industry is going, the trend is for the more educated professional man to be spending more time with his business or profession, and the labourer to be

cutting down his hours, e.g. the proposed 35 hour week. This leads to an inbalance in the family life. The professional father finds it more difficult to devote the time required to the

family, and in some cases the sons suffer as they have no

Daughters suffer, but to a lesser degree, from the lack of the

In the past, until the 19th century, the family unit was

his predecessors, but less emotionally mature.

Are our families becoming progressively less effective in transmitting worthwhile values to their children?

Nobody has yet discovered a better vehicle for the

transmission of human awareness and experience than the family. The typical nuclear family in Australia with its

materialistic preoccupation and its tense cravings for a

suburban Elysium is a poor milieu for the development of free, idealistic, emotionally well-equipped children.

It would seem that we should strive for a more evenly balanced family life. The mother sustains and watches over the

life and freedom for growth of her child while the father clothes that life with social meaning and gives it the means of attaining individual responsibility.

INDONESIAN IN DEPTH

"YOUTH SEARCHES" SEMINAR

On the 1st June this year, Moira Westmore and Sue Moran attended a "Youth Searches" seminar at Caulfield Grammar.

About two thousand H.S.C. students attended the series

of talks and discussions held throughout the day. The three main topics were, "Youth seeks a Future", "Youth Seeks a Philosophy" and "Youth Seeks Freedom".

After an introduction by Mr. KennedY (a teacher and

also Hawthorn coach) three of the students gave ten-minute talks on the first topic. Following this groups were formed and heated discussions were held.

This pattern continued until the afternoon when an

open forum connected the main issues brought from the talks and discussions.

Caulfield Grammar is thanked for providing a very

suitable environment for this seminar. It was a challenging

On Tuesday the 18th July the Form Il and Ill Indonesian groups went to Monash University to see Balinese dancing and instrument performance. It was held at the Alexander Theatre and the performance lasted from 1.00 p.m. to 3.00 p.m.

During that time we saw two very good Indonesian dances featuring Poedjono and Cathy Woerjatmi Mardisiswojo. There was also a Shadow Puppet Play called "Wajang Kulit".

One man operated a total of 200 puppets which were

used in a traditional Indonesian story. This was followed by the Indonesian' Gamelan group which was an instrumental

group formed by Monash students. The money raised from the whole performance went towards a new set of Gamelan instruments.

On the lighter side Mr. Rids Van der Zee, the proprietor of Grantulla, a very talented magician gave a brief revue

with a seance which continued on into the tolerably well early hours of morning.

Over all, the Retreat was a highly relaxing and enjoyable TURANA

It is sometimes very difficult to write about people who are

under-privileged without sounding patronising, but this year, in visiting Turana, we ourselves gained a great deal. Turana Youth Training Centre, Parkville, is a State Institution dealing with boys from eight to eighteen who are either State Wards or who have been committed for comparatively minor offences.

Father MacMahon, chaplain of Turana, initiated the idea

of a group of fifth and sixth formers going to Coolibah - one of the Turana sections, to a social evening once a month.

Usually twelve girls attended and as the Turana boys usually numbered twenty-four, there was no opportunity for anyone to be a wallflower!

The five visits that we made were an eye-opening experience for all of us in many ways. The boys were all very

interesting and friendly and we had many amusing times. We all hope the socials continue next year and that the boys enjoyed, and gained from our "First Friday" visits as much as we have.

experience. It provided the Matrics with an opportunity of thinking about their lives and their effect on others. Thus it was something very different which sparked off many changed ideas in the minds of the participants.

POVERTY SEMINAR

Although Australia is relatively free from the situations of

extreme poverty that we would find in countries such as South areas America,there is still an urgent need for us to study of deprivation that do exist in our society.

Early this year some of the Matric students attended a

seminar at Ruyton Girls School on the topic "Poverty In An Affluent Society". In 1966, 26% of Melbourne's population was without sufficient means and a figure such as this suggests that in Australia one million people, especially the pensioners, the migrants and the sick are living in destitution. We all know the monetary inequalities of poverty but have you ever

thought about inequality of security, asset availability, social status, public respect and general political influence? It is

seminars such as the one held at Ruyton that will help to alert the community to the plight of these people.

A DRAGON IN THE CITY Once there was a quiet little town. Everyone worked hard, and

everyone was friendly. One day when everyone was busily working there was a tremendous roar. Everyone ran out of their A Lt?41

houses. There, in front of them was a huge dragon! Everyone slowly moved away. Policemen ran out trying to shoot it away.

., R::e

Bhke

The dragon had knocked a boy off his bike, and made a car crash.

At the back of the crowd was a small boy. He couldn't see anything, so he pushed his way to the front. Then he walked up to the dragon. Everyone called "Come back!" The boy talked to the dragon saying, "Why are you here? Go away we don't want you here". Slowly the dragon walked away. This small boy was a hero ! He saved the town . . .

THE WIND

THE MOUSE

The wind comes,

It growls and screeches

A ball of fur,

It whirls and swirls

With twitching nose,

And on the way to school

Forever moving on soft padded feet,

It blows and tugs my hat

Tickling me when it moves,

Trying to take it off

And playing all day long

A child comes around and shouts, "Anyone want an Up and Out?" She comes around everyday,

Until they're all sold and she can play.

But when she's around you just have to shout "Okay, 1'11 buy an Up and Out".

"HIPPOPOTAMI"

I like Hippopotami because they are big and slow. I saw a Hippopotamus at the zoo a week ago. He was in the water. He looked very funny and I laughed a bit. Then I saw a baby Hippopotamus. He was in the water too. He was next to the big Hippopotamus. He did not look as big as the others, but I liked the little one best. He was so cute. He looked at me and he

smiled. He did look happy. I was sad to leave him.

AN AUTUMN DAY

The blue sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly on the fresh, green grass. The trees did not seem to know that it was

autumn, but some were enjoying the warmth of the sun. There was no wind, only a cool gentle breeze. The diamond dewdrops clung tightly to the blades of grass and the vines also clung tightly to the tough trunks of the trees. The birds sang merrily and the ground was damp from the night rain. As we strolled inside we were disappointed that we had to leave the beautiful scene.

H.S.C. Pure and Applied, and General Maths, students eagerly looked forward to the competition, feeling that they would have an advantage over their Form Five and Form Four counterparts, and all competitors were relieved to hear that textbooks and other aids could be used. However, on reading the paper, all discovered that it was not so much a test on actual knowledge of mathematical principles, but one in which intelligence, ingenuity and clear thinking had to be applied to problems - neither textbooks nor the detailed knowledge of the H.S.C. students was of any aid.

Although there were only five questions, the steady flow of girls out of the library during the three hours was due not to their

Moss and Seaweed:

Moss, grown with little light, but plenty of moisture, grows far better than any other way. But, moss, receiving light but no air nor moisture, was dead after seven day.

The experiemnts, though very simple, were interesting, and gave definite results, which could be easily assessed. They were also time comsuning, as we would spend no less than half an hour a day checking and caring for the experiments. Our work was well rewarded, though, by a prize of $10.

A.S.P.E. ESSAY COMPETITION

Each year the Australian Society for Professional Engineers conducts a competition on their role in our society. More for something to do rather than a desire to publicise my "knowledge

of engineering" 1 wrote this essay. It was about two thousand words long and investigated the ways in which engineering has assisted physical and telecommunication in our society. A few

weeks after submitting the essay I was, much to everyone's surprise, awarded a $25 bursary.

The essays were written during the second term of 1971.

The topics, set by the Royal Commonwealth Society, were "A

Letter from Mongo Parke" (an historical essay concerning a famous African explorer), "A British Commonwealth Country"

and "A Geographical Comparison between Two Commonwealth Countries". The length of the essay was to be approximately five hundred words, while $25 was to be awarded as first prize.

Congratulations must go to Mrs. Stevenson, a Form 11 class

mistress, who organized the girl's entries, and to the girls B. Wilson

1972 ACTIVITIES

This year's activities commenced with a film showing of "The Go-Between" and supper in November which proved to be an enjoyable function. In February we had our Annual Reunion This year we changed to an afternoon tea to enable more members to attend.

The Loreto Ball was once more a great social and fnancal

success. Forty three debutantes were presented to the President of the Association at the Royale Ballroom. A second April function was the Golf Day which was well attended despite bad weather conditions.

The Discussion Group has been most enthusiastically sup ported under the expert hand of Mrs. P. W-Il s who has p ovided a diversity of interesting speakers.

The Younger Set members have continued the'r act'v ties wth a Dinner Dance at the "Piccolo Mondo" at the end of last year

organized by Tina Fakhry. Vicki Curtis took over -n Feb ua y and is organizing a Bar-be-cue soon, and taking an act'venterest in our young tennis team.

1973 will be a Federation Conference year in Brisbane, so the coming year should be exciting and busy, and we look forwa d to seeing new members both from school leavers and parents who have lost touch with old school friends.

My term as President has just ended, and my thanks a e extended to all members of my Committees over the two year period and the members of our Association who have so

LORETO DEBUTANTE BALL

This year and annual Mandeville debutante ball took place on

21 st April. Forty-four debutantes and their partners were presented to Mr. and Mrs. T. Hanrahan at the Royale Ballroom.

Throughout the fine practices at the ballroom, the patient instruction and expert assistance from Mrs. Challingsworth

eighty-eight stumbling figures finally merged into a flowing group of ballroom dancers. The dance comprised of a simple minuet, with intricate patterning of groups to make an impressive

formation on the' rectangular ballroom floor. The posies carried by each girl were in aqua blue which contrasted outstandingly against the white dresses.

Before the ball, all the Debs and their partners were presented in the annual event to Mother Superior at the Convent. *23

PAST PUPILS

LORETO PARENTS ASSOCIATION The object of our Parents Association is to foster new friendships among the parents of the school, and this was again achieved during the year by the holding of many activities and functions.

One such function was an enjoyable luncheon held at Nine

Darling Street at which our Guest Speaker was Mr. Michael Craig who gave us a very entertaining talk on his experienoes in the film and theatre world. Another happy occasion was the luncheon held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Reid during the second

term. The support was overwheiming and from the proceeds a

cheque for $400 was sent to the Loreto Orphanage, Entally, Calcutta. The heart rendering appreciation for this gift certainly makes these efforts worthwhile.

The offering of their home by Mr. and Mrs. Selwyn Custance for a third term function is another indication of the spirit and generosity of the Parents of the School. The annual dinner dance will be held by the Parents Association in November.

These occasions are but examples of the many functions held

throughout the year that help the Association maintain its aim.

This aim of course could not have been maintained without the

help and dedication of the many mothers who attend the meetings and functions.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. J. Matthews who has been organizing our luncheon service most efficiently, for the past two years, and to all those Mothers who gave their time and enthusiasm is this service to our children. And

to Mrs. W. Cameron for her splendid efforts in organizing the Swap Shop.

It is not well known that the profits from both these efforts are a great help to Mother Superior in affording the many extras for the school.

Finally I must thank Mother Superior for her friendly help and guidance throughout the year, and Sister Toni and Sister Anne McPhee for their keen interest in all our activities, and

especially all the Nuns and Staff of the School, whose untiring support has made this year such a success.

Chris Weisz, who hails from Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. came to

Mandeville as an intelligent, witty, widely travelled student.

Although her stay was brief, three years in all, she managed to impart to all of us her friendship, and her cosmopolitan attitudes.

Toorakanrooin's most enthusiastic reporter has moved on to bigger and better things, at Dayton University, Ohio, where she is exploring the field of Medical Technology. We all wish her well

and hope America appreciates, as we Mandevillians have, the great person that Christine Weisz is.

A CARING CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY

'As long as you did it to these the least of my brethren you did it to Me'

In 1854 Melbourne experienced a serious unemployment prob-

lem, which brought poverty, illness and other social problems.

I mmediately, the Catholic Church began its great work with orphaned and neglected children.

Now in the 1970's we are still daily being reminded that the poor we have with us always. Religious and lay Catholic workers claim that they are giving more material assistance than ever before. The work begun years ago continues.

But our century brings problems in a new form related to the

needs of the lonely and the forgotten anonymous people in cities.

The rising incidence of breakdown of home and family life brings

with it the associated problem of the alienation of the person himself. Even greater than the need of providing homes for the homeless is the work of restoration and maintence of family life This is why every Catholic worker in this field of work for the

needy has welcomed the opportunity to meet together at the International Eucharistic Congress for a Social Welfare Con-

ference which aims -

i

1. To open a window on the work being done and needing to be done by Australian Christians -

(a) To care for children deprived of ordinary living (b)The prevention of broken families in the process.

2. To highlight the importance of this work in the Church in the Modern wor'51·

3. To attract more participation both lay and religious in all areas of Social Welfare work.

4. To discover how we can apply Christian Social principles in the Community in which we live.

5. To encourage the establishment of welfare groups in every parish in order that welfare work needed may be done more effectively on a local level.

No one is exempt from the obligation to do all in his power

to bring the full peace of Christ to all the forgotten people in our society. As long as we are Christians, we must keep before our minds the dignity of the person sensitive to the smallest needs, available for the greatest needs, giving in the best way possible.
