EDITORIAL

"UNITED WE STAN D; ... This is the culmination of a year of united effort.

As Christians we met in the Eucharistic Congress. As students we meet in this magazine. Through these meetings where all men fuse into one, we grow in realisation of the existence and value of others.

Their ideas, their experiences, their contributions to our vision have made this a challenging year. This is our Statio Orbis.

This is our expression of the motivating force of unity. Through it we hope you will gain insight into the life of this school and strengthen that life.

"It's all very well for you to say that; 1 couldn't do anything else. My conscience and morals demand that I improve your wretched state and raise you to the level of my own unafflicted status."

"1 had attained freedom; true I was starving, but my future was bathed in radiant wonder of a pastel-hued hope of a world to come." "Look on the bright side. 1 admit I bullied you, but it was all for your own good. Your accent has vanished; you are in good health; your clothes are colourful, pretty and easy to keep. No longer does life involve important decisions. All solutions are provided by the local

minister, bank-manager and employer. Your whole philosophy of life is attainable free of arduous thought and worry. Even your mistakes are rectifiable: before a worrisome marriage was inescapable. Now you are free to come and go as you please (provided, of course, you do not violate my laid-down rules of Good Citizenship)." "1 used to hunt in the twilight of dawn; I was a creature of the dusky night, of fluid tides,

of burnished zenith-skylights, of tawny rustling grasses. My eyes could watch and my \II intellect appraise. And I could sing to tunes of nature's pipes." "You were nothing but a child! Grow up; box and wrap your visions of future incredibilities. Come maturity you will see that they are futile, impracticle, ridiculous."

"1 was as free as the wind and rains, controlled by no-one except the Ruler of Seasons. My soul leapt with vivid streaks of wonder, anticipation, fresh and lively hope. The scarlets

and vermilions have compromised and conformed into a dusty monochrome of faded greys and ambers, (to be filed in the Book of Social Property under the headings of Religion, Sex, Nationality, Allergies, IQ, Annual Income, and open to the public at the close of every financial year - all of this knotted in angry red tape)."

"I have rescued you from disorder and disease. You know where you can go in life (1 tell you your range of capabilities), and now your 'Ruler of Seasons' has forfeited his claim on your life-style. You have been liberated - Success can be yours. However, to achieve,

emotion must be left far below; it is a tangled knot of psychological confusion. You must discard the searing and icy tones of love, lust, loathing, fretting sorrow and exultation for the sake of clear thought processes: Logic can only exist if the troublesome functionings of feeling are stilled effectively."

My mind turned. 1 looked about me. Far away glimmered the violet horizon, stretching like a circlet around the rippled land. Blue haze on flowered grasses shifted like the tided water and sent heavy-eared stems

nodding towards me. I had been alone so long. Never had I reached the minds closely, though once or twice I had seen them in the distance. But I could not reach them for though the Chain did not stop me, it did not wish it. My Chain: 1 would not, could not break it for I needed it too much. Those who did, found that they no longer desired to find the Others and were drawn towards the woods, the withered strands dragging behind them.

But now I was here, in this land where I had never been before. 1 could

scarce remember my journey here; willed on by the Chain's desire. I had

carried it; never slacking my pace; by its light 1_passed safely through many unhappy shadowed lands; the Woods of Soma where even the Chain was no protection. Some had ventured through them and failed; they lay near my path, broken and dead. My fear winged me through; 1 heard the yet fading cries of the newly fallen and my heart wept with pity. So near, yet I

could not help, for only the fallen can lift themselves. So I was forced onwards to my own end - or a new beginning. I had heard it said that the

dragged me not. I went whence it desired me and for all that I was bound,

it freed me. As I walked, it explained to me; throwing red-gold shafts in my learning.

Now I rested, surrounded by the seeded grasses. Before me lay a path to its distant source. Many miles had I travelled; my feet were blistered; my

limbs ached; but I was exultant. For many years the Chain had been my

protector, but now it was to be unmade. As I neared the light I watched its colours fade. The strands dissolved; my body took on a strange glow in its love. 1 understood its meaning and as I stood bathed in its radiance my bruises faded; strong essences coursed

H.S.C. year, decided to remedy the situation. A Literary Club was set up and it meets every Friday afternoon out of school hours to discuss and share our reactions to, and interpretations of, novels, literary classics, poets and their poetry, philosophical ideals and plays, in fact any thing that can be classed as "literature". Our activities during the first half year have been extremely successful, although our patronage consists only of a small faithful group, including Sr. Geraldine, the one ardent member who offers us voluntary guidance

FLOATING

WAITING FOR RAIN

With squinted eyes they gazed at the sun, The accursed weather had finally won. With thirsty throats they pitied their land, The deep brown soil had turned to sand.

Emptiness all around me,

A feeling of solitariness and bliss. A pleasant feeling that envelopes my body As I drift on the calm, cool sea.

A feeling of complete weightlessness,

For all his toil the land was dry

Like an astronaut on a space walk.

Floating on what seems like an endless sea.

The sun glared down and made him fry The cattle dying, the sheep all dead, Those woolly things fifty cents a head.

A cool breeze slides over my body,

The wind was happy, the sun was gay,

Then the hot sun regains its power; I lie there absorbing the heat Putting yesterday behind me.

Shining white carcasses the vulture's prey, The top soil blowing a hundred miles away.

Small waves gently caress my body; A floating peice of seaweed tickles my leg; A white gull flies overhead; And many a fish swims underneath.

Change is due but misery still,

But I am in my own world,

But still his land, for him to stay.

For even the north wind makes him chill, Those large flat drops from a gallon cloud, Mud the land and make it flood.

They survive and start again,

I lay there for what seems like an eternity, In my own weightless world,

Prepare a lot yet starve the same, The sun and wind, the devil's child,

Then I sink to the bottom of the sea,

But never a day so soft or mild.

To the golden cool sand, To lie there for another eternity.

under there though, and hot and hard to breathe. So he peeped out again. The room was bright with moonlight and he could see the dark shadowy shape of his toys. They looked quite different at night. Tommy sat up in bed and reached for his favourite toy-Jack, Jack-in-the-box. He took off Jack's lid, so he could get up. Jack sprang right up.

"Hallo Jack, how are you?" whispered Tommy softly. Of course he didn't expect Jack to say anything. What a surprise he got when Jack replied "Oh, I'm well Tommy, how

are you?" "Why Jack-in-the-box you can talk?" said Tommy, amazed.

"That's right", replied Jack, "but only at the magic midnight hour".

"Let's go somewhere, Jack", said Tommy, "take me to see some of your friends. You've often seen my friends." "Alright, but we'll have to be quick. 1'11 take you to see Ted and Bluey".

"Ted and Bluey who-y?"

"Why Ted and Bluey the cleaning men!" Jack-in-the-box lead Tommy down stairs, up the gallery and to the cupboard where mummy kept the cleaning things. Tommy opened it quietly. All he could see were brooms and mops and things. Jack-in-the-box said quietly, "It's all right Red. Come on out Bluey, here's a friend of mine, Tommy."

To Tommy's amazement, a broom and a mop stepped out of the cupboard, grinning all over their faces. "Hi," said Bluey the Broom

"Hmm ... Hello", said Ted Mop. "Why, you can talk, too!" said Tommy "That's right" said Jack-in-the-box

"Is Rqsemary Rag home?" "Oh yes," said Ted, "Rose love, where are you?" A

"In here, Ted".

A pretty little polishing rag came out. She smiled at Tommy and Jack-in-the-box. "Hallo," said Rosemary "Sorry to break the meeting up boys, but we have a busy day in front of us!"

Ted and Bluey said goodnight to Jack-in-the-box and 9

"Call us any time you feel like cleaning up, Tommy!" "1'11 do that," said Tommy. He and Jack went upstairs to

FEAR

Fear is a dark room on a stormy night; being lonely, not knowing what's ahead. Fear ebbs up in me, shakes me,

sends shivers down my back making my face twist and forces a scream out of my mouth. Fear is killing, it devours: striking out

and gripping it's prey, leaving no mercy. Fear is being in a dark dingy room, thoughts running through my head, sending my imagination running. It is the anticipation of crawling things, it is creeping up on you. Is it beside you, is it in front of you,

is it behind you ? What is it ? Suellen Tomkins, Catherine Culligan, Catherine Self Ann Quinn, Lisa O'Grady 31

1 FORM I SHIVERS IN THE FOG As I walked out of a small milk bar with the paper I read, 1 walked down an old bumpy footpath leading down into the foggy bush-land. 1 stepped onto a bush track which crackled with dried gum leaves. The fog was getting thicker and I could

only see about two yards ahead of me.

I went down this track nearly every day but it seemed different tonight. I did not know why I was cold and shivering and tried to occupy myself by straining my eyes trying to read the paper. I read the headlines: "More bashings in Melbourne". Then I discovered why I felt so different. I gave a jerk and

turned around; there was no one there, so I decided to control

myself. 1 walked on, took a deep breath and told myself I was the bravest girl out. I held my head high showing I was not affaid, but I was all mixed up inside. If there were bashings in Melbourne, it would be more likely for bashings to occur in the bush. The fog was getting thicker now and I was shivering.

I could not even stop my teeth from chattering. I felt as if I was blind and everyone was watching and waiting to attack me. The gate was just ahead, it was awfully rusty, so I hoped I

where the Australian Institute of Archaeology displays its

exhibits from excavations of many ancient civilizations.

Our guide, Mr David Searle, showed us several items of interest from the ancient peoples of Egypt, Jericho and

EXCURSIONS This year, Form One have gone on many excursions. We have been to Ballarat where we saw the pioneer settlement

"Sovereign Hill" and we had lunch beside the lake and fed the

swans. Then we went and visited Mary's Mount and the chapel. We have gone on many other excursions this vear - To

Tarrawarra Abbey and to Como House. We have also gone to

several orchestral concerts. I hope we enjoy the next excursion as much as the previous ones. Mary Kehoe

FORM TWO

SOCIAL SERVI CE This year we have endeavoured to involve all classes in the Social Service

Programme. We are trying not only to help through the raising of money, but also by continual personal involvement with those less fortunate than our-

selves. This is not only warmly

appreciated by those we visit but also broadens our understanding of people and their problems. A result of these activities has been a greater awareness

amongst the girls, of the poverty and deprivation which exists in Melbourne. In the first term the Maytime Fair was held and the school provided both

goods and services very generousl y The contributions made by all classes enabled the girls to sell articles for most 01\ the day. The total profit for the stall was $175.

Last year, Form l's decided to sponsor a Vietnamese orphan, Le Thi

My, through the World Vision Child Care. This year as Form 2's, we have carried on the practice through the

year 1973 by sending eleven dollars each month to help pay for Le Thi My's schooling, food and other necessities. This money was raised by donations and sweet and cake stalls.

Recently the Form 2's received a letter from the World Vision Child

Care asking if the form 2's could help the people and families in Cambodia.

The form 2's now also give money to the Australian Medical Team working in Cambodia.

The school joined together again on

Mother Superior's Feastday in July, to donate food, clothing and toys for the needy of our own city. Some gifts were distributed to various areas,

including those of Broadmeadows, South Melbourne and Prahran; others went to the Prisoner's Relief, Ozanam

Form Three got off to a good start with our social service activities this

year. During the weekends, groups of

girls, with the help of Sr. Anne Kelly gave parties for some of the children

from "Allambie", a home for deserted

children. These children do not go out very often, so they enjoyed the party very much.

Also on Sundays, a group of girls

visited "Yooralla" a home for crippled children. This term we hope for more

activities to help others. At the moment we are raising money to buy a clothes dryer for a woman with no husband and five children under seven.

She has to walk up and down several

from a "malnutrition of heart and

mind". In an era as progressive as ours, an age in which there is such a wealth of assets, reflections of the negative narrow-minded self-indulgence of a

greater percentage of the population are brought to the fore every day. Often the boys share a common set-back, a limited education, but at the same time they all take pride in

telling us about the positions they have secured for themselves in an

attempt to grasp a stand in life, as apprentices in various fields. We attempt to provide a stimulus for them by showing an encouraging interest in their work, and by following their monthly progress as they tell us of what they have done.

While such visits to Turana provide us with an appreciation of the

advantages we are given in life, we hope that it promotes in us an active outlook, so that we do not become

part of a stagnant majority who sit by and "feather their nests" oblivious of

what they could offer to those in need.

Within a philosophy, ideas grow, and with them questions revolving around the enigma of one human life in relation to all that has

vanished below and that which will surge to the surface in future ages. A balance of proportion needs defining - when, and by whom? Is there such a creator as one called God, Yarweh, Allah ...? - or is this Being a supplementary

creation of one's own stumbling intellect? Religion - a strange seeking of an explanation to day-to-day and age-to-age existence, an attempt at foresight beyond death, a code of life.

We imitate television personalities or do more abstract imitations such as that of a dead fly or trees in the

ART OF SPEECH

Every Friday four groups of enthusiastic dramatists trudge

up to the boarder's study for their speech lesson. Our new teacher, Miss Marquette, then burdens our voices with pages of poems, prose and plays. A few embarassing lessons were spent with a tape recorder and 'sound poetry' - a collection of syllables put together, not to make sense but interesting

sounds. The end results sounded something like an orchest a tuning up. One week the five of us (group four) including M-ss Marquette had great fun stirring a tub of potions and casting

spells in between evil chuckles. In case you are doubting ou

sanity, we were playing the witches scene from 'Macbeth'. Not all our lessons are spent in such odd ways. Often we just have discussions related to speech or drama, but whatever way we pass the forty minutes, the time is both profitable and enjoyable. Jenny Baillie.

Mandeville has had many successes this year beginning well with wins in the Catholic Secondary Schools Athletic and Swimming Sports, but we would like to add these last minute items.

Netball was given a boost by the Staff/Student House match one lunch time, with Mulhall taking the stage. The form 2 classes had a lightning premiership one week-end which created further interest and enthusiasm. Individual successes were recorded by Joanne Henke who won the National Open Ski Championship and Michelle Ferguson who has been the State Junior Fencing Champion for two years, this year she won the National Junior

Fencing Championship. Kate Coady came fifth In the same competition. Caryll O'Shaughnessy competed in the Inter-State athletics meeting with success.

Early October we competed in the Victorian Schoolgirls' Championship and created history by being the first Catholic School to ever win this competition. This event has made a great impression on the school and helped to place a final touch to a successful year. 52

With the introduction of regular training at Donnet's pool

we had more participants and the standard was much higher.

The eager support of the junior forms caused great excitement, with competition fierce and the outcome unpredictable, so interest was held throughout the day. Congratulations must go

to Mornane as the winning team, with Mullhall close behind and Ward taking third place. Better luck next year, Barry !

Many thanks to Mr. Layet for his patience with competitors and spectators alike. Also to the Matrics for their novelty race which added a finish to a successful day.

TENNIS

The 1973 tennis season was comparatively short this year,

due to an extended athletic season. As the tennis was made up of a great deal of athletes, we found practice was hard to

arrange. We played two matches against Sacre Coeur and Kilmaire and were fortunate to win both matches. So even

though we had a very short season, it was however, a very

BOARDERS .B 1 BOARDERS

1973 marks the end of an era at Mandeville with the closing down of its already markedly decreased boarding school. The days of a large boarding population are gone (being only 16 in number this year), and with them has gone the strict regime of life lived for the most part within school walls. Rising at six-thirty each morning and wearing uniform at all times are now only memories; memories unlikely to exact much

nostalgic feeling. A gradual change has come over the boarding school, beginning with the passing away of customs and regulations unique to Mandeville (including the somewhat strange habit of bowing to the nun on leaving the dining room). Accelerating especially in the last few years, this change has brought increased privileges and a much greater amount of freedom. Consequently the school is no longer the centre of all activities for boarders, and this is one of the most evident changes.

In those who have never had the experience of boarding *#**% there always seems an insatiable curiosity as to what the life is like, and it is hard to believe that we will be the last to witness p<=-a

THE CHAPE L

On the first day of school, panic rippled through the classrooms, "the Chapel's been changed". 1 joined the throng of girls madly tearing towards the chapel, wondering what was awaiting me. We stood on the threshold staring in. Murmurs were heard, "Good Heavens; Oh no, isn't it fabulous, I hate it, I love it" etc.

The pews had all been removed and the altar was_it, the middle of the chapel, not at one end. The stained glass windows had been boarded over and curtains hung over

them. A row of sticks arose from the ground at one end, and candles protruded from them. There was a shriek! (Good Lord - in the Chapel?) Some girls had discovered the heated carpet! Yes - heated. Being a good Mandevillian I tried to unglue the girls from it - and failed. A teacher saved the situation (moans, groans) and the Chapel regained order. The same could not be said for the luckless girls -

OUTSIDE -4..18\01 THE FORM 4 TOUR

Early Tuesday morning, 11 th September about sixty Form Four students and four teachers left the school in separate

buses for a four day tour of Victoria. On the first day our bus visited places such as Sunbury,

Woodend, Trentham Falls, Daylesford and Hepburn Springs where we sampled the Spa water. We stopped for lunch at Maldon and continued our way travelling via the "Three Sisters" to a motel in Horsham, where we spent the night. On

Wednesday we spent the morning travelling through the Grampians, and on our way to Halls Gap we spotted several

kangaroos and emus. Whilst journeying towards our motel in Warrnambool we passed by many towns and places such as Lake Belfield. A Bureau Officer spoke to us about Tower Hill

on Thursday morning. We explored an extinct volcano and arrived back at the bus with several casualties. We drove

through the historic town of Port Fairy, the fishing bay of Portland, and then to Mount Gambia, near the South Australian border. Then we returned to our motel at Warrnambool.

At eight o'clock on Friday morning our busy day began

with an inspection of the Kraft Factory in Allansford. We travelled along the Great Ocean Road and saw spectacular sights such as "London Bridge", the "Twelve Apostles" and the blowhole. The rest of the day was spent travelling back to school.

We sincerely thank the two bus drivers, together with the teachers, Mrs. Willis, Mrs Brett, Sr. Sonia and Mrs. Kennedy for such an educational and most enjoyable trip. HISTORY EXCURSION - FORM 3

This year in history the third form is studying Australia.

Amongst other things the course covers in depth, the Victorian gold rush of the 1850's. and in particular the Eureka rebellion. At Ballarat, situated 63 miles from Melbourne, there is a

memoriam to the miners of this period. The Historical Society has restored such interesting items as miners'huts, mine shafts, and Commissioners Offices. There is even a small stream where

you can pan for gold. There are also rooms in which are stored many items familiar to the gold era, such as pans, shovels, picks, guns, uniforms, photographs, and diaries. Such an excursion could not but help be beneficial to the

History student, to help to create a vivid image of the life in the 1850's at Ballarat.

A brief tour of the Eureka Stockade incorporated a talk on the motives behind the Battle of Eureka as well as a

description of the battle itself. Following this, was a visit to Sovereign Hill, where there is a reconstruction of the town of Ballarat as it was in the latter half of the last century. Here, realistic buildings and furnishings, as well as gold shafts and mining equipment, provided a wealth of knowledge for the girls, concerning the lives of the Australian pioneers.

themselves by feeding the swans, was followed by the drive to

LIBRARY

OUR SENIOR LIBRARY Despite limited finance, the library continues to develop its lending and reference capacities. Twelve months has seen an increase of 1,300 non-fiction including reference books, and the building-up of the fiction section begun last year to approx. 1,800 books. There is

now a more comprehensive and selective newspaper and magazine section, the audio-visual part of the library has been used a great deal by the senior forms, and the cassettes provided by Mrs. Planten

and some of the sixth-form teachers have been most valuable and we

are very grateful. Our thanks also to Mother Sylvester who made possible further equipment this year, three new free-standing

bookshelf units, a new Encyclopaedia Britannica, and a 1969 0*24*4

Chambers Encyclopaedia to replace our older one. Several girls took

advantage of the rapid reading course, and we would like to thank our librarian Mrs. Planten and Mrs. MacDonagh for their work and encouragement. Dedicated 5th Formers Maria Tarrant and Jenny

Baillie have been absolutely tireless in their assistance, jointed latterly by 3rd Formers such as Fiona Godsell, Julie Tarrant and others. It is very pleasing to see the girls helping and at the same time learning useful library procedures. The girls' efforts, and particularly those of our volunteer mother helpers Mrs. P. Burke, Mrs. M. Crosbie and Mrs. M. Hipgrave (along with Sarah who brightens Mrs. Planten's day!) are tremendously valuable and appreciated by students and staff alike. The Library Committee, headed by Prue Peppard, and consisting of Licia Perillo, Rowena Ryan, Michelle Lee, Cathy Newing, Pam Woodhouse, Wanda Stelmach, Liz O'Sullivan, Virginia Mansour, Catriona Quinn, Sarah McConnachie, Maureen Wilson, Anne McCraig, Jill Taylor, Ronnie Skene, Marg Skehan, Karen Goltz, Therese Coughlin, Maria Tarrant, Jenny Baillie, Lynne McNamara gave up much of their time to help

Charlie likes the sun and only moves away from the centre of the earth when the temperature is higher than two hundred degrees. He is so sunburnt that he is not very colourful. Someone once tried to catch him but he trampled and stung him to death. Other than this Charlie is quite tame. Mary Muirhead - Grade 5

"Good morning, seaweed," said the two-foot wave, "how terrible to see you again"

"Well if that's the way you feel, 1 shall leave,"

"Bad luck! We're coming into shore," said the wave gloomily, "you can't leave now.

Run along to Music so you won't be late. "Quickly! Find a seat," calls someone. "Gaby, here! 1 saved you a seat," calls another. Then Mr. Blake and Mrs. Stonehouse come in.

' "Anyone who doesn't know the notes properly please go with Mrs. Stonehouse", calls Mr. Blake, so some trudge into the hall and then the lesson begins.

"All right", says Mr. Blake, "Turn to sheet three and we shall do number eighteen. This has three lines. Everybody ready? One, two..."

We all start to play, blowing away on the recorder for one long hour, then it's back to class. Mary-Ellen Peppard - Grade 6

chairs; then strings make their way to the Music Room, instrument in one hand, music stand in the other. More tuning is needed, then gradually the noise subsides and the music

starts. Half-way through it is stopped as Mr. Blake corrects beginners who just can't get the hang of a phrase. Then new sheets of music are handed out - great excitement. Everyone is eager to have a try. It sounds surprisingly good for the first time.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, his first words were "Mr. Watson, come here I want you".

Before you can use a telephone you have to dial a number.

Telephones are very important for people who want overseas communication. As well as telephone wires on poles there are some under the sea. If you are sick you can ring the doctor. Sarah Poynton

FOG

The deafening noise of the car being started by dad woke me with a start. It didn't take me long to realize the fog was here. A cold shiver went through my body as I looked at my window and saw a blanket of mist covering everything from head to toe. The next thing I heard were mum's footsteps on

the stairs. "Time to get up," she calls and then adds, "Quick,

go for a walk." It was good fun running through the thick mist which blinded me from recognition. Slowly the sun came through all bright and warm. The droplets of water hanging suspended from the leaves were waiting to fall. The heavier shafts of mist blended with the sun that was struggling to

break through the trees Of the pine forest. The damp, wet smell of pine and gum was refreshing. U

SEWING SHIRTS FOR THE CONCERT

In and out with a slippery needle trailing cotton that was white, but is now grey, and ends in an unsuccessful knot. My legs, all my body, is cramped in a horrible position and my feet are in agony with pins and needles. The mess. My cotton is hopelessly knotted; the needle won't go through. I'm doomed. Horrid old back-stitch. 1 think I'd better start again. But I suppose it is all worth while when you

PAST PUPILS LORETO PARENTS ASSOCIATION 4.)20€

I am hoping that parents of Loreto Convent, Toorak, feel that emr

this year has been both successful and rewarding. In particular, I do

hope that the new parents have been made to feel very welcome and

that they are enjoying our activities. This year we have many new faces on our committee and we have

attempted to introduce a few changes to the year's activities.

:I *luwa/52/1#NE:#13**f'1

In the First Term we held a luncheon at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

a.:01*161:46'*4140>31§22.*al„-'Pat, :f *1»42I fo

Lindsay Fox. More than 350 mothers attended, and during the luncheon, a parade of children's fashions was held. A profit of 1000 dollars was raised.

During the Second Term we held class luncheons and coffee parties for all forms throughout the school. This is the first time this type of class function has been carried out and on many occasions,

the form teacher was present. The main reason for these functions was to give mothers with children in the same form, an opportunity

.•444*flft**

to meet and discuss different aspects of their child's school life.

However, any profit made goes to the Loreto Orphanage, Entally, Calcutta. We were fortunate enough, during Second Term, to have Mother General visit us and my Committee enjoyed a very pleasant coffee morning arranged by Mother Superior, in her honour. Mother General told us just how grateful the Loreto Mission is for the help

we have given over the past year. The Dinner Dance is to be held at the Southern Cross Ballroom,

on Friday, 19th October, 1973 and again I am hoping that both "new" and "old" parents will attend. One of the most important activities of the Association, is the weekly luncheon service, and my thanks go to Mrs. R. Faye - chief organiser and also to the many other mothers who gave their

continual assistance throughout the year. Again, Mrs. Cameron has kindly arranged the "swap shop" which has been a great help to many mothers, and I sincerely thank her. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Mother Superior,

Sister Jane and Sister Margaret for their guidance and continual interest in the activities of our Association. Finally, a big thank-you to my 1973 Committee, in particular my Secretary, Mrs. Henke, and my Treasurer, Mrs. Hunter, for their expert help and continued enthusiasm all year. Ann Metzner

Congratulations to all (?) L.P.P. who were so prominent in the preparation for the Congress. Dame Mary Daly - Organiser of the Hospitality Committee -

Mrs. C. Byrne, Secretary of the Hospitality Committee and Mrs. G. Dore, Organiser of the Arts Festival. The Loreto Ball was held at the Camberwell Civic Centre on

and congratulations go to all who helped to make the night

such a success. Mrs. C. McCann and Mrs. G. Kevin - Ball

Great excitement for all our members in successfully acquiring a small beach house for our nuns at Blairgowrie - we have worked for a long time hoping to be able to provide them with this house and hope that now it will be a place where

they can completely relax and have a very well-earned rest. My grateful thanks to Mother Sylvester and the nuns at

IN MEMORIAM "In Faith and Hope and Love" Many will well remember two deeply respected former members of our

staff: Miss Hilde Streich - who taught German (and gentleness): and Dr. Hedurg Wahl for years a Senior Chemistry mistress. They were closely linked

after retirement. Miss Streich, an angel of thoughtfulness, would read in German to Dr. Wahl after her sight failed; write her letters for her; bring dainty gifts with a grace of giving that enhanced them: and so it was with grief that Dr. Wahl, in hospital, learned of the sudden death of her friend. The Requiem at the Convent of the Sacre Coeur was remarkable in its

tribute. Such a number of past pupils - (for Miss Streich had taught there after first coming to Australia) had made the sanctuary a garden of flowers symbolising their affectionate memories. The parish priest celebrant spoke eloquently of her exquisite charity exercised in manifold ways to the needy, the lonely, the sick. We would but recall Our Lord's words - "sick and you

visited Me" as we lifted our hearts in reverent thought of His "Come ye blessed of my Father". May dear Miss Streich's gentle soul have already responded to His Welcome Home. Dr. Wahl's last months were sad and suffering - from one hospital to

another, but God was most kind to her in spiritual help. Several who taught with her at P.L.C. or Loreto proved their affectionate esteem; perhaps chief among them Mrs. Mollie Flynn. And, indeed, special mention must be made of two of our present pupils - Madeleine and Catherine Byrne. They were

angels of charity to Dr. Wahl and to her invalid friend: doing the shopping prior to Dr. Wahl's last illness - brightening the lonely days, literally bringing sunshine in their joyousness.

But the end was lonely. She was already dead when the priest who had brought her Holy Communion several times, arrived in answer to a summons. He anointed Doctor - "in peace and the sleep of eternal rest". There were few public tributes to Doctor, but among them was one most sensitively worded, from her invalid friend. Another anonymous, simply said: "A tribute to a fine gentlewoman". That she. May her dear soul rest in peace.

Our hearts go out in sympathy to our present pupil, Maree Keaney, who, within a year, has lost both mother and father. We know those devoted

parents will continue their loving care from Heaven, but we assure Maree of our desire to help her in her way to God, every day of her life. **********

Sympathy, too, extends to Sister M. Antoninus whose mother died in Ireland after a long illness. **********

And to Miss V. Stewart - on the sudden death of her beloved father. May

we remind: "life is changed - not taken away" and recall the words of Saint Augustine:
