As in previous years, the magazine is an attempt to record, in a broad context, the events of the school year Thus lt contains articles reflecting the diversity and multiplicity of school life

We've tried to present a magazine indicative of the changes occurring within the school

The beginning and end of the council system and the

formation of yet another Also, in a physical sense, the school is changing. Next year the school will see the advent of a new library and administrative centre. We trust that all

will benefit from these expanded facilities.

And so we have tried to make this year one of actions as well as words and we hope that we have succeeded

Dan Flynn loves designing, planning for children - and so we come to Our Lady of Loreto over our school entrance.

Queenly, motherly, she is welcoming each child who enters - embracing as she welcomed her Divine Child in Nazareth days. Look at the token in the child's hand - a flower for her mother - (held upside down as children will!)

Symbolism is at the root of all of Dan Flynn' s work. Look at the statue and you realise his interpretation of the oldest prayer to Our Lady: " We fly to thy protection O Holy Mother of God."

There are very few of us left now who began in the kindergarten under the watchful eye of Mother Aloysius,

During that first year, I recall among other things, our afternoon naps(?). "Words in Colour", the Christmas play and the nervous mistakes, and the swings and slides we were rarely allowed to visit.

The Junior School was a time of fun when friendships were made and broken again in minutes. The weekly

Assemblies created an opportunity for us to display our acting talents as each class in turn performed for the rest of the school. I think we spent as much time rehearsing for these plays as we did in the class-room learning!

Punishment and discipline stand out clearly as part of the school life, including my primary years.when Order, Deportment and Merit marks were deducted for varying degrees of misbehaviour. Writing lines during lunchtime was almost a permanent fixture for me. Who will ever forget the unenviable task of openin lunch-time especially during Summer! And ballet classes where I seemed to end up in the 1#AN#***%0 ki

no other reason except that perhaps my dancing ability was never recognised. The culmination of these lessons was

the Mission Concert in which everyone took pride in appearing.

During these years there were changes around the school. The summer uni form changed and the nuns exchanged their old habits for shorter smarter ones. The Junior School was renovated and extended, the "new building" appeared and the chapel was modernized. The Gully and the Grotto disappeared to make way for the oval and the boarders were phased out. \1 ·41.

The Senior School presented a much broader aspect and more and more new girls and teachers arrived, many of

whom fell victim to our "mischievous'" pranks. And the punishments became more forceful. But it was at all times fun and amidst the recreation we did receive an education.

To the many teachers and pupils with whom I have come into contact, I owe thanks for making my days at Julie Burke.

We, the "new additions" to Mandeville sulked outpide the school gates. We soon realized that we were not going to be attacked or mercilessly eaten alive. The aura and relative protection of newness soon dissipated and we settled into the pattern of school life at Mandeville.

At first we approached our studies with a zeal, but as we acquainted ourselves with our class-mates, the books , began to gather dust. We learnt such slang words as "G'day" and ':See ya" from friends who generously contributed to a vocabulary of out-landish words. The peculiar humour of our class meant we were the targets of

many practical jokes and games, which included the theft of shoes from our very feet (hnd other articles of clothing

we refrain from mentioning), the demolition of tidy stacks of books, the suddent attacks by large girls who insisted on knocking us to the ground for amusement, and the degradation of being tied (by a tie) to a door or window for half a day. All of these tricks were new to us but we learned swiftly, and successfully avenged ourselves upon these jesters.

But now Matric. is here, which means too much work and not enough play. The amusements of yester-year are only a memory. We find ourselves devoid of energy, and visions of"round shoulders and bleary eyes" are evidence of our struggle to succeed. The atmosphere has changed and sometimes we feel on the brink of despair and hysteria.

But we have retained our sense of humour and thus, school is bearable, even full sometimes? Mandeville has been

experience in itself for we have discovered many new things and made many new friends. But as for that fearsome -r"A-S=.

challenge -we will merely say: We came, we saw,... but we have not yet conquered.

There are many decisive moments in our lives when we are forced to make crucial decisions about our

may take the wrong turnings or plunge into the rive unsatisfactorily, yet my mistakes or successes shall aid

greeted with an optimism and excitement justifiable in a long journey that appears mysterious and unpredictable. I hope my journey, and that of others, begins

smoothly and proves to be worthy of the idealism devoted to it by the young.

In the second last week of the year all girls in Form V took part in a Christian Living Canip. The

class was divided into two groups and the camp was held at Teniplestowe and Kalorama. The spirit of co-operation and openness of discussion resulted in the three days being spiritually and socially rewarding for all.

The variety of experience provided a formative background forthe Matric year. The councillors of 1976 have accepted their responsibilities and carried them out with initiative, consistency and a sense of humour that has made their gontribution to the school invaluable.

A WOMAN NEEDS A MAN LIKE A FISH NEEDS A BICYCLE

The inference in the above title is that as fish could have no possible use for bicycles, then women have no use for men. But fish definitely do need bicycles. Yes, the humble fish is sick and tired of simply being a snack on toast, or an object to be gazed at by children waiting for their Chinese food. He is tired of eternally watching for the hook or net which will spell his end. And so the Offishial Party of the Sea has made a decision-the fish are going to fight back!

The Department of Wildlife and Humans has decided the only way to do this is to fight men on their own ground, and this means that fish will have to do what their ancestors did

millions of years ago and begin to walk on land. To hurry the natural process, the Sports Department has- devised a way to turn their tails into legs.

The first step is called Stretching; the ends of the tail are clamped in an oyster shell firmly

embedded in the ocean floor. The fish then swims as fast as it can away from the clamp and this stretches the tail by at least four inches. It is then split up the middle and the fish is given

hormone shots to increase the 'leg' muscle. Now, the most important part of the training C begins!

In the sea, somewhere off Hawaii are thousands of rows of exercise bikes which are to

fish feverishly churning the water preparing to launch their attack. Men have also been surprised by the numbers of apparently dead fish floating on the water. But these fish are not dead-they are only resting. After their strenuous exercise on the bicycles, the fish needs

more oxygen to revive him than the sea can provide, so he floats to the top in order to survive. This also serves as a way to acclimatise the fish's gills tothe conditions he will meet on earth.

Yes, marine life is tired of being small fry, small fish in a big pond and the world will soon know about it. But just what will this revolution do? The Department of Sociology has been. observing the habits of men for many years and has conie up with the solution. Men obviously have a subconscious desire to return to the sea. The numberof swimming pools is increasing all the time, holiday regorts are spreading all over the coastline and deep sea

diving enjoys an enormous following. What should the fish do with their enemies?

Obviously throw them into the sea! Some fish argue that since men enjoy swimming, this would be no punishment, but they are forgetting the horrors that the sea contains. A few sharks and manta rays should be enough to break the spirit of any man. And when their enemies have become friends of the fish? 'We shall be fishers of men!' claims the chief

theologian. 'We shall put them back on land and teach them the true way of life.'

But will men follow the moral guidance of a fish? 'Why not?' continues the theologian.

'Men have always had a great awe of fish. A fine example of this can be seen in the days of the early Christians. Their symbol was the fish and the name for their God 'Ikthus' means

It is obvious from this how important the bicycle is in the chain of events leading to fish domination. A fish certainly does need a bicycle, but whether a woman needs a man is a completely different issue.

Once again, the Angel of Death, Mrs. Plantonimone, has laid her curse upon me. lt is her most foul and deadly curse. Having cornered me in her den, she pointed her gnarled finger at me, her red eyes bulging from her head, her breath wheezing painfully. An evil cackle emitted forth. Lighting flashed, bats hovered.

"Oh Maribelle, Fairybelle, Fairtheewell (for those were their names). Whatever shall I do?" My unbelievably large eyes became two moist pools of colour.

Fairybelle patted my slim-fingered hand. "Never mind dear. I'm sure we'll think of something." The next day, they all fluttered into my exquisitely furnished pent-house. "Well my dear," sighed Fairtheewell, "We cannot break the spell. "My face fell, shattering into a million pieces, revealing my true visage... Pardon, my typewriter ran away with me.

My hours of work are spasmodic, depending on the mood of my employer and his vivid imagination.

My sympathy goes out to all those lower class families who must suffer those indignities; the

Bics and Staedtler, who are not only overworked, but are

insufficiently clad in see-through plastic. Their days are so prosaic. They travel to work in pencil cases, sit on wooden tables, and return home, marked and chewed, by children, too hungry to wait for lunch. Apart from advancing years, I have no cause to complain at all.

FORM V NOW THIS IS INTERESTING

Luigi Robert Ching leaned over his study desk and wished he had remembered to bring his ear phones. Some other students were having a loud argument not farfrom his cubicle, and he felt that the last thing he needed was noise. He took a Syrendium

capsule to improve his concentration; but he was disturbed again as, in a few minutes time he became suddenly acutely aware of his nose. It seemed to be growing, and he actually watched it, with crossed eyes, as it spread across his face.

The strangest thing was that he felt the stretching, heard the throbbing and watched the growing of his own nose with more interest than curiosity and more curiosity than astonishment.

It stopped!

Not by simply discontinuing its growth, but by giving an extra little outward push and then sinking back into itself a little.

Luigi's face was heavier. He put his hand to his nose, and M Reid, C Hunt, M Fitzgerald F Reid, J Purcell, J McCubbery

touched it, then he ran his fingers down its bridge, around the nostrils, and into the nostrils ! This was hardest to believe; he

LESSON

was able to put three finger tips into one nostril without their touching any part, of the nostril wall.

He was amazed ! Determining to view it from a different angle, that is, from a mirror, he got up and turned to the door.

With his hand on the knob he halted, however, he could not

remain in his study cubicle all day; he was eager to see his mirrored image, and more than anything else - he wanted to

find out why! Luigi pondered. There wasn't really any way now for him to ever pass down the corridor unnoticed - with his new nose, or with it covered up, he was certain to invite a following, so resignedly, he turned the knob, stepped out and marched briskly down the corridor.

First he passed a pretty girl. He knew her by name only, (Tammy del Fuego-Mansell) he grinned self-consciously as he

passed, bracing himself for her comments. But she only smiled and carried on peeling off her ears.

A little set back; he hoped the next person he met would be someone he knew more intimately, someone who would at least notice the change in him.

The next people he saw were five young boys, all silently rubbing their eyes. He casually mentionedwhata sight he must be, but not one of them bothered to re-socket a single eye, to see him !

The next strangers he met he didn't even bother to look at, and by the time he met an acquaintance he had become impatient.

"Look at my NOSE!" he ordered the skinny brother of his room mate, in a very loud tone.

Whereupon the poor lad cringed against a door jamb, in terror commenced desperately throwing his fingers at Luigi, who immediately was sorry, and gently gave most of them back.

(Unfortunately, one had become lodged in his nostrils so he mumbled something about giving it back later, and he hurried away.)

As he walked on he divided his time between dislodging the finger, and staring-at his own. He couldn't help wondering... then SNAP! things fell into place!

Back in his cubicle Luigi had placed three fingers into his nostril and now a single finger was cramped in the same place - either the lad had had a very fat finger, or the nose was shrinking. Immediately realising the possibility of the finger

Day breaks. The sun rises from beneath the ocean and

board In wax and last minute thoughts. Paddling out, he passes through the shore break to a world of his own where he can feel and move freely He sits upon his board and waits. Sighting a far

away peak, he sighs as a spur of excitement rushes through his body.

The wave now is upon him He paddles fast and hard as the

wave begins to break. He drops back, too late, sits on his board head down and thinks He floats away into a dream and then is

brought back down to earth by a single squawk of a hungry seagull. Looking out towards the horizon he sees the swells lining up Now in front of him a massive wall of water l S building up. He paddles, this time early and makes the take off.

He hugs the wall tight to get the most energy out of the wave.

As he paddles into shore his thoughts wander again. This time on to the thought of his last ride He was the master or was she,

FORM V IMAGINATION

"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what

you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create

what you will. Indeed all man's achievements have begun with a concept, evolved either by chance or long, arduous research. George Bernard Shaw conveys this impression.

The ability to form pictures in our minds and see obJects differently from the way they appear to our eyes, is a basic definition of imagination. We all have the component elements of an imagination, but the extent to which we use such creativity, varies according to different people. The infinite inventions

devised by writers, artists, scientists and explorers were motivated by their imagination, skill and enthusiasm.

Just imagine how useful inventions such as the wheel, stethoscope and the zipper have proved to be. Surely no prosaic mind could ever have conceived these. Consider nuclear power, space exploration and computation. What uses may these fulfil in the future? Man will forever have imagination even though he may be oppressed because out of his free-will and independent spirit will emerge some form of creativity.

Thomas Edison - inventor, innovator, electrical and mechanical wizard - was indeed a remarkable, versatile

chemist. Armed with a fertile imagination and a memory that

devices. In actual fact he willed what he imagined; and then created what he willed. Edison's discoveries, effectuated by his imagination, have spurred men to greater efforts, and his work has widened the horizon of man's understanding. How then can man's imagination not be considered one of his most valuable

can use their imaginative minds to produce deceit and contempt.

Just as one scientist can create a serviceable product, another scientist can create nuclear bombs and a world full of terror, that could destroy mankind in a day.

Every since Thinking Man began to imagine, he has continued the survival of his species by the modification of his environment. Future advancement can and will be made,

through this marvellous possession of one of man's most precious gifts. It has often been said that there is no limit to that of man's imagination and this inimitable gift has, indeed no boun-

daries. But to obtain the greatest value and happiness from our imagination and creativity, we must use prudence and responsibility, so that we can enjoy the creations and ideas of others, as well as of course, as our own.

Again I heaved myself out of the blocks. The wind swept away every sound, all I could see were the white lines on the

track which seemed to be dancing before my eyes.

My arms and legs worked like pistons as I tried to push through the wind on my way to the turn. Once around it and I would be helped, instead of hindered, by the Southerly that felt as though it came from the Antarctic.

A DESCRIPTION OF DISCOVERY

From where I am, the sea grass matting twists and turns in all directions except towards me. The strands of straw are knotted and strained pulling towards the centre, but for the corners which are pushed and crumpled upwards into dirty dry yellow peaks.

As my eyes move along the floor a sudden contrast in shape, colour and texture jumps out at me. A dull gleaming black figure stands soft and independent of feeling against the tortured bind-

9

ing knot.

Now my eyes move upwards, up a smooth cold wall, past crumbling cracks, splashing stains and towards the uppermost

corner of my room. There, silent and still a decomposed web

hangs. Once it was a streak of silver but now it is rotting and the dust sticks to it like an overcoat of coarse skin.

My eyes cannot take in the vast bleakness of the upside-down desert. Never ending, never changing, a plain of nothingness.

But wait. May be there is life up there. I stand up, my eyes cannot believe what they see. Yes, there it is, in the never ending plain; a fly.

Fear pushed Mark to the wall of the room. Floundering in the dark, he felt his arm knock the smooth surface and then the

grinding crash of the glass as it fell to the floor. He ran blindly; hysteria mounting, searching for some way out. His hand met the handle of a door and he stumbled up the stairs without thinking. Mark's feet were cut badly by the glass. A noise at the bottom of the stairs made him cringe in fear. Footsteps broke the silence and a calm voice spoke with assurance.

CHARACTER STUDY

I was standing in a shop when all at once a car with a "P" plate on it pulled up. The driver walked into the shop with his chest out, head up, and a big smile on his face. Not looking where he was going he missed a step and fell flat on his face.

When he got up, the expression on his face was one of embarrassment. He walked over to a rack of jeans and picked out a small size. After trying on several different styles he finally found a pair that he admired. The man went over to the counter and purchased the jeans. Then he left the shop, obviously glad to get away from the scene of his embarrassment!

BURIED ALIVE

I sometimes think with fear and dread

Of being buried when not dead A really shocking, ghastly fate.

FREEDOM IN THE SKY

How I wish I was a bird,

When six feet under -_it's too late

Freedom's their one descriptive word.

To scream and yell and buck and kick To attract the graveman with his pick.

Spreading their wings they soar so high, And fly as if they rule the sky.

Lumps of worms slowly descending While mourners are sarcastically weeping.

Death's dark secrets silently unfold,

Their view from above looks so peaceful and clear,

The people so tiny, the land yet so near.

But birds are now dreading the land down below,

The secrets that only the diseased are told.

For fear of cruel man, once friend but now foe.

The only way out for our birds - are the clouds,

But oh! How morbid I become,

Away from the smog and deafening sounds.

To think like this is really dumb!

I clean forgot that God is near

I admit I don't blame them for hiding from man -

To mind me in the afterhere!

For loving the sky and hating the land.

So I should remember and so must you,

Margy Hurley

That all small birds have feelings too.

In a flicker, the lights went out, the wind was howling and rattling the windows, the house shook and the doors banged shut. I thought the roof would blow off any moment now.

Men had come to us yesterday warning us of this cyclone, but we naturally thought they were a pessimistic lot and ignored them. But now, now it was real, a hot·rifying, howling wind.

In the next room I could hear my little sister crying. A sudden impulse told me there was something wrong. I rushed into Penny's room only to find my screaming sister lying in her cot surrounded by the bright orange flames of death. On the floor lay a broken lamp surrounded in fire. Panic seized me and I screarned wildly; there was nothing I could do. We were the only people in the house and with the cyclone outside it was

soggy balls of fur, mewing bewilderedly, scuttled between legs seeking shelter. Wet soggy papers covered the ground, fragments of it breaking off and sailing down gutter torrents amid apple cores and cans. Gloomy figures darted from here to there, protected by a newspaper, slipping, skidding on the deceptive sidewalk.

LEAVES

As I walked along the creek

THE STORM

The leaves went "crunch", "crunch"

Trees laced with drops, like pearls, Which float down to the ground as I brush past.

I stopped, deciding to roll in them And the leaves were all sticky.

The leaves are tossed and whirled

I walk along and 1 see leaves again, They cling to my feet Because they are very sticky And now my feet are sticky too.

Penelope Makeham.

A small blue wren hidden in a hollow log Peeps out and glides low across the ground.

The trees are covered by a light blanket of fog Which swallows up everything without a sound.

A dead tree, a tall monument, a standing link with the past Its arms out stretched - reaching To the dark clouded sky, so vast.

THE QUILT

A maze of colours pink and blue, A maze of shapes, circle and square.

Suddenly - a witch black crow, swooping, screeching.

Soldiers straight and tall against the dark clouds

All these together help to make a guilt go round.

Bend and bow as the wind sweeps past.

Slowly, steadily - inch by inch, Sewing together the oblong colours.

Slowly, steadily - inch by inch, Sewing the pieces till it's all finished.

The roar of thunder sounds, And the battle has started at last.

INSIDE TOORAKANROOIN - IN MEMORIAM

As you flick through the now well worn pages of this excellent publication, you have no doubt noticed the absence of a special feature that brought joy into the homes of Mandeville families. In this year's issue we do not have a "Toorakanrooin" page. The reason for this - you may well ask - is because (I tell you this with bowed head and hushed voice) the "Toorakanrooin" , that marvellous school paper with a large circulation has this year died.

It is a very great loss and the whole school community would like to join their sorrow with that of former editors (whose ranks I can proudly join) and say what a difference it has made to the school. As you enter the school area, pass by the barred windows and the 7 ft. walls, there is now an aura of mourning

surrounding the school and the girls themselves - many of them are showing their sympathy by the wearing of black armbands - one even going to the extent of wearing all black - including veils. There is no longer the happy frantic rush, that so united us all, of realizing twenty-four hours before

the deadline that - yes - we were three pages short, and no, Norman Gunston's special had not yet arrived. At moments like these it was wonderful to see the way the two editors would band together, supported by a faithful few, to fill these pages with scoops and imaginative covers to end all scoops and imaginative covers.

As you all know Toorakanrooin has been alive and well for

many years, playing a vital role in school life. Unfortunately in 1973 our esteemed magazine suffered a rather serious apathetic setback and was out of circulation that year. However, 1974 and 1975 saw the return of a happier, healthier paper to the school newstands and it was able to take its place next to the other

"greats" of its time - the "Newsletter" and the "Mandeville".

Unfortunately this recovery was only temporary - due to a very sudden and unexpected setback; it was nearly out of circulation last year in what was to be its last and final edition. This was in October but it struggled on and was one of the most popular issues ever, being sold out in the first few days.

It was a fitting end to a great and vital part of the school community and the rosary will be sa'd once a week in the chapel

for the repose of the newspr'nt of ' Toorakanrooin", a much loved, eagerly anticipated school paper.

No flowers (but money accepted) by request of the Editors.

made the great Jump into co educat on As we entered the school we collected many strange looks and comments - "Look, boys in dresses!" - and other intelligent remarks which, unfortunately, can still be heard after seven months of going there every day.

As first the classes consisted ot boys on one side and girls on the other, but as we got to know our male counterparts, this soon changed. Our teachers, Brothers Ahearn and Greening, adJusted well to our lack of background knowledge, and soon we were on an equal footing with the boys One teacher suggested that maybe we would like more questions dealing with cooking and shopping, but after the outcry that greeted this, has never mentioned the subject again

We have settled in well at St. Kevin's, which is probably due to the hospitality shown to us. We have been invited to their common room, to dances and to Form Six barbecues We have

There will be seventeen councillors, instead of this year's ten.

This will ensure that there is a councillor per class. She will be assigned a class and will have a meeting with them weekly and the councillor will also be expected to help the Class Mistress in areas of school involvement. Therefore apart from her weekly class meeting the councillor will also have a weekly meeting with the rest of the Council. Sister Jane and Mrs. Willis will also

attend this meeting.

PRODUCTION

ARENA THEATRE

A very interesting and unusual interpretation was given to the works of a number of the poets on the English Literature course

this year at a poetry recital presented by the members of the Arena Theatre.

As per usual the energetic and dedicated members of the Lit. class had stayed behind at school and then gone on to the theatre (some of the more fortunate members being invited for dinner at the convent). They were expecting a rather normal reading but were pleasantly surprised. It was presented as a circus, with the poets being given in chronological order - beginning with Chaucer and ending with T. E. Eliot.

On the 12th, 13th and 14th August, at 8 p.m. the Wednesday Form IV and V Production class presented the play "Oliver". It was held at the Kew High School Community Theatre.

The three previous nights, before the production the cast

rehearsed at the hall. It was very enjoyable, both rehearsing and performing. Thanks must go to Mrs. Saxon, the Producer, Mr.

Blake, the Music Director, and Mrs. Elliot, the Singing and

Choir Director, and the orchestra, who put so much time and effort into making a successful production.

Most of the production was organized by the Forms IV and V as many of the properties use4 in this play were made by the

girls involved. This was made possible when the school inaugu-

One of the most unusual interpretations was that of Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock". This was presented with three girls standing at the back in 50's dress singing a basic chorus and a man with slicked-back hair, pointy black shoes and a leather jacket breathed the poem into a microphone. It was certainly very enjoyable and allowed many of us to see Pope's work through new eyes.

rated a Stage Props class as part of the Wednesday programme.

Girls also acted as assistant producers, promptors, stage managers, and acted as hostesses and usherettes.

Therefore all the girls involved with the production in one

way or another, seemed to both enjoy and gain from this Wednesday activity, and I hope the audience liked watching the play as much as we enjoyed performing it.

Julienne Hogan.

Good lighting, costumes being well-improvised and a good use of the stage helped to make this a very interesting and beneficial evening.

WAITING-FOR GODOT

After studying Beckett's "Waiting For Godot" in English Literature. I was interested to see the production at the Alexander Theatre, Monash. I was even more interested, perhaps, to see what effect "Australianising" would have on Irish-born Beckett's French-written play.

The Australian influence was a superficial one - the setting

was slightly "bush" looking, Estragon and Vlidimir were dressed as swaggies - rather than in old bowlers - and the part of Lucky was played by an aboriginal actor.

The acting itself was of a fairly good standard, but as far as the interpretation of the message Beckett was trying to put across, the play was far from my interpretation. It was comic, the audience were laughing in places where they should have been crying. From the point of view of acting, to entertain an audience, I can understand this - people would probably become really bored if just seated before a straight presentation of Beckett's words. By overcoming this problem and making the play amusing, they came across another problem, that of making Beckett's vision of man come across as amusingly ridiculous rather than depressingly insignificant and worthless.

Perhaps Beckett's message is too well demonstrated in his word usage to be a viable stage production. I am not sure, but it turns out you either have an audience that is left gasping with

boredom, or one which has been entertained but not given Beckett's real message - which is not an entertaining one.

MATRIC RETREAT

The Matric Retreat was held this year at the Log Cabin, near

Monbulk, at the end of first term. Twenty-five matrics attended,

together with matric religion teachers Sister Jane, Sister Geral-

dine and Mr. Crowe. The rest of the class who did not wish to

attend had a few days off. The retreat was run by Father Chris Gleeson, who was assisted by Paul Sinn.

The Log Cabin was situated in beautiful countryside, where we took many long walks. All the students helped to wash up, serve the meals and clean the area. One of the more visible

results of the retreat was the weight we all put on ! We seemed to do little more than eat, with morning and aTternoon tea, supper and main meals. We had two films and the retreat ended in

preparing a mass. We talked about what the Church and religion meant to young people and what we thought should be changed and how this could be done. The conclusion we reached is that it

was a beneficial experience, and worth while for those concerned.

INSIDE TURANA

DANCING CLASS

As in previous years, girls from Form V have continued the tradition of attending dances at Turana on the first Friday of each

form four class to St. Kevins each Friday afternoon for a period

month. Turana is a State Training Centre for boys who are either state wards or who have been admitted for minor offences.

The boys involved with this activity are from the Coolibah

section, which is the final section, before the boys are permitted to leave. These dances benefit both the boys and girls involved,

as this is often the only contact the boys have with girls outside the premises. Through this encounter with the boys, girls be-

come aware of a completely different way of life and it therefore broadens their outlook and gives them an insight into a lifestyle dissimilar to their own. They can also appreciate the concern

and trouble the chaplain and the officers take in helping the boys.

Therefore, not only have the dances been very enioyable, but I think both the boys from Turana and the girls from Mandeville, have gained from this experience.

Julienne Hogan.

It is a custom of Loreto each year to send their innocent young of about six months. The reason? To be instructed in the art of

ballroom dancing. Oh, how we laughed! And oh, how we were laughed at! The classes were held at St. Kevins, where the

instructors Miss Rowe and Mr. Emmett and the presiding hawkeyed teacher tried desperately to push the seventy screaming disgusted, hysterical girls into the arms of their conscripted partners. After mumbling "Hello", the happy couple then proceeded to kick and stumble through such dances as "The Pride of Erin", "The Foxtrot" and "The Mexican Hat Dance".

We moaned, we groaned, then suddenly it ended.

The social was held and all the girls turned up resplendent in their finery. The St. Kevins lads wore their school uniforms.

The Dancing Class cups were won by Vicki Brennan, Lisa Mulcahy and Anne Fitzgerald, while the losers cried frustratedly on their partners shoulders.

Looking back, Dancing Class was a really pleasurable experience and hopefully, all future form foul-s will enjoy it as much as we did. Nobody should miss this enlightening insight

Sisters Maureen, Geraldine, Jane, Miss Pemberton, Mrs.

The format of the retreat was very informal; periods of discussion, meditation and the celebration of Mass were in-

One of the highlights of our retreat was when Fr. Walker

suggested we go for a hike up to Mount Dandenong. We all set offat about 11 p.m.: it was a perfect time to go because the night

The retreat was a highly relaxing and enjoyable experience. It provided us with an opportunity of thinking about our lives and getting to know our classmates better.

the Forms I V arrived with a number of teachers, including Miss Pemberton, Mrs. Varani, Miss Suhov, Sr. Jane, Miss Maning, Mr. Crowe and Mr. Butman, at Lord Somers Camp at Somers, which is situated rear Flinders. The accommodation consisted

of four huts with tk.'enty-two girls in each. The food was catered for by Deborah Burke who was a past pupil of the school. Girls assisted on a roster system to help prepare the meals and clean up afterwards. On Friday and Saturday mornings the teachers organised activities and in the afternoon we had a lot of free time. Fortunately, the weather was good and a lot of time was

spent relaxing on the beach. We had an enjoyable time and a lot of hard work went into the organisation of the camp and thanks is due to all the teachers who were involved.

Perhaps if I had not read the play I would have found it more satisfactory as plays are meant to be seen rather than read. As it was, the play failed to convince me of Jimmy's anger and frustration against the system, and so the whole point of the play was lost. Hopefully, next year's matrics will get a better deal

The Maytime Fair, held at Xavier College, this year was very successful. Students from Form V organised and manned various stalls. These included a teenage stall, which was stocked with goods donated by Exacto, and jewellery, which was made by the Form IV and V Wednesday class. Miner's cosmetics were also donated and a large number of articles were collected from the various classes_throughout the school.

CIVVIES DAYS

During the year two "Civvies" eventuated and these days certainly livened up the usual school surroundings.

A "Civvies" day usually occurs at least once a year because it is a practical way of raising money.

The "Civvies" days this year were both to aid underprivileged people. The first "Civvies" day, organized by the

matrics, was held not long after the earthquake in Italy and the money raised helped the people of this devastated country to obtain some of the necessities of life.

The second "Civvies" day was run by the Forms One with a

little help from a few Forms Five. The Forms One requested the "Civvies" day in aid of Aboriginal education and money was

FORM THREE FANCY DRESS NIGHT

B. O'Sullivan.

INDONESIAN AFTERNOON

On a Sunday afternoon in November, the Indonesian students organized an afternoon to entertain and to give people the opportunity to taste Indonesian food. In general, the afternoon was to enable people to experience a little of the Indonesian culture.

It was an enjoyable afternoon run by the Form Two, Three, Four and Five Indonesian students. The Forms Two contri-

buted by performing the "Tarian Payung" or umbrella dance - a simple dance which Mrs. Soekotjo taught them. The Forms Three and Four contributed by presenting a

fashion parade. Many students mannequined some form of Indonesian clothing - including many fine batiks. The highlight of the evening was the beautiful Indonesian food cooked by the Form Five class.

The Forms Five came to school on the Saturday to prepare and cook as much of the food as was possible. The dishes included: Acar Sayur - a vegetable dish, Prekedel Daging - meatballs, Semur Ayam - a chicken dish and Nasi

On Friday, 23rd July, the Forms Three held a Fancy Dress and Record Night. The reason behind the night was to raise money to foster an Asian child for a year. We had a spectacular assortment of costumes. There was a Countess, Dracula, Bonny

and Clyde, some paper boys, a swagman, a black and white minstrel and many others.

During the course of the evening we had a talent quest complete with two adjudicators. Among the contestants there were Abba, Bay City Rollers, Seven Dwarfs and a French Pussy

cat. At the end of the talent quest the two judges gave their verdict - the Seven Dwarfs were the winners.

Well, everyone went home with a smile on their faces after a

really enjoyable night. A few remained to help clean up and because everyone was willing everything was cleaned up quickly.

On Monday we counted the money and found we had raised

$50.00 and everyone was pleased to have contributed.

OUR EXCURSION TO BEACONSFIELD

On the morning of Thursday, July 12th, Form 2 set off for

to a very worthy cause - Mother Theresa in India.

This venture could not have been a success without the help and guidance of Mrs. Soekotjo. In the time Mrs. Soekotjo has been at Mandeville, Indonesian has become a very popular language. She always manages to bring a little of the culture of the country to us whether it be by seeing Indonesian dancers at

their excursion to the Roche's dairy farm in Beaconsfield.

DEBATING This year Mandeville has three debating teams entered in the competition run by the Victorian Debating Association.

Janet, Helen and Ruth debated their way into the Grand Final but unfortunately were defeated by 3 points. The topic, a secret one, was 'That there are pixies at the bottom of the garden'.

There is one A-Grade team comprising of three Matric students. They are Ruth Jones, Janet Whiting (Capt.) and Helen Gaynor. This team has been debating together for three years now and last year reached the State semi-finals.

This year they have competed against schools such as Wesley, Peninsula Grammar, C.B.C. St. Kilda and Cheltenham

High School. They have had a diverse selection of topics, ranging from "That conformity makes cowards of us all", "That the ivory tower is really a white elephant" through one of

Christine O'Regan has been named best speaker in some of their debates and the two teams have won a number of their

debates with the possibility that one of them may be in the finals.

FORM 5 DEBATING

The fortunes of all Form 5 debaters have been down-this year, with, I am afraid, little success. Out of the nine schools with

whom we have debated, only three of them have been our victories.

Not all our losses, though, have been unprofitable as our

lessons have always been filled with exciting ideas and plans to flatten the opponents. Sr. Geraldine is the main initiator of these

ideas, but she has many enthusiastic followers, only too eager to

snatch and digest them. These lessons are held on Wednesday

mornings, as part of the Form 4 and 5 Wednesday programme.

They always enjoy a faithful following of the hard-core debaters of our class, as well as attracting a few "strays", who wander in and very soon become interested in debating.

In the class there are debaters both serious and silly, who enjoy equal success. By the time the night for which the debate has

been arranged arrives, both teams have their extremely convineing speeches ready. These speeches have been read and re-read over the previous fortnight, in order to produce that expression in the voice which should get the message across to the ad-

judicator. Aftei the debate, supper is served, and this usually helps to cheer the members of the losing team, who join in hearty discussions with the victors.

Debating is a lot of fun, because apart from making you think, it allows you to meet people of the same age from other schools, with whom you share a common interest. As I said the Form 5 debaters lost quite a number of matches during the year, but despite this, these is no doubt that next year we shall again

produce a team which will do its best to gain that trophy which tells us we are champions.

The actual role of Sports Captain was most enjoyable as it did not concentrate purely on a seasonal activity but one which could be extended throughout the year. I found that I met a lot more girls in the younger forms than I would normally have done. There was plenty ofresponse for my work which made the job all the more rewarding.

I would like to thank all Staff Members who co-operated so well with sporting fixtures, and special thanks to Mrs. Schaefer who once again made Mandeville's sporting achievements so

The form 4's are extremely enthusiastic about softball and lf they continue to train as they do, the schools that we usually compete against had better watch out! The form 6 team this year

did not compete against many schools but we had quite a few en.Joyable matches with teams from the lower forms Softball again this year has been successful and well enjoyed

This year, for the fourth year in a row, Mandeville won the

interschool sports. Part of the success was due to the fact that the girls put in a lot of hours training at Rolly Simpson's pool. The team had a lot of depth this year with promising swimmers in every form. One of the exceptional- swimmers is Karen Gray who won the Adel Hollywood Award at the interhouse sports.

The interhouse sports were won by Mornane. They were held very early in the year, meaning that they had to be arranged very quickly. They were still a success, however, as Mrs. Schaefer

really got the spirit of the school moving.

The All Schools Swimming Sports were also successful; and quite a few of the relay teams made the finals which were held that night. The outstanding swimmers were Liz Poynton, Karen

'.

Gray and Erin McDonald. The rest of the team all put in a great effort as well. The success of the swimming team this year can

RELIGION "If we remember that behind the face of every man - and particularly when tears and suffering have made it more transparent -we canand must recognize theface ofChrist, and that in the face of Christ we can and must recognize the face of the Heavenly Father, then our humanism becomes Christianity, and our Christianity becomes theocentric, so that we too can proclaim that to know God, one must know man."

PAUL VI "Address to the Council"

MORAL THEOLOGY

A series of lectures on "Morality for Today" given by Rev. Arnold Hogan, S. J., Th.D., were held at Xavier College, Kew, during first term. Father Hogan, a Professor of Moral Theology, gave lectures of about one hour's duration followed by discussion and questions. The lectures were entitled: 1.' WHAT IS MORALITY ALL ABOUT?

- Morality and Religion

7 DECEMBER 1965.

- Morality and Culture 2. THE BIBLE AND MORALITY

- The Preaching of the Prophets - The Teaching of Jesus Freedom in St. Paul's Letters 3. MORAL DEVELOPMENT

- Toeing the Line or Personal Responsibility 4. PERSONALCONSCIENCE, LAW AND INSTITUTIONS

- Loyal Opposition or Benign Neglects?

5. THE CHURCH AND THE CHRISTIAN 6. RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING

- Christian Discernment.

Father Hogan outlined Moral Developinent as put forward by Freud, Kolberg and Karl, and extended Kolberg's theory of the six levels of morality. When applying morality to organized religion, Father Hogan emphasized the role played within oneself in decision making. Issues raised dealing with moral development in the framework of religious upbringing were certainly relevant for the parents and students present.

Communion In The Hand

An integral part of the Form Five course was the study of other religions. Some of those studied were Buddhism, Islam,

Hinduism, and the philosophy of Confucius. A study was also

\11 e j

made of Christian religions since the Reformation. Perhaps the most interesting and informative talk was given by Mrs. Ungar on Judaism. The following is a summary by Gabrielle Pahlow.

The Jewish religion is similar in many ways to our Christian living. They do not believe that the Messiah has as yet arrived, as peace and harmony do not surround us now - as it will when

He comes. The practice of certain ceremonies differs from those of Christians, and the acknowledgement of festivals and events is very important. Emphasis is placed upon the religious in daily

life - festivals take place throughout the year. The Passover is a festival of freedom to remember the exodus from Egypt.

Sukkot - the feast of Tabernacles - is a harvest that recalls

the booths the Jews lived in when they wandered in the wilder-

ALL ALONE

It was horrible being cooped up in a barn. Everyone had rushed to the nearest hospital because of an accident. I was forgotten and left by myself. During the day I just lay on the ground, listened and thought, "Where is the company I used to have? Where are the people who patted and cared for me?"

Suddenly I was relieved to hear the sound of footsteps. I stared

at the path through a crack in the door. It was only the milkman.

I sighed deeply. "Oh, when are they coming back! They will leave me here for ever." I walked over to the hay and flopped on it. That night I went without dinner because the mice were too timid to come out from behind the old cupboard. During the following days I lived on water from a puddle in the floor and occasionally I caught a mouse. I had very little sleep at night

HAPPINESS IS

r

Happiness is joy bursting all over your face, Sometimes when a party just might take place Hiding where nobody knows Sometimes just watching the birds fly in the air Happiness is when you find a new friend Sometimes it is just around the bend.

Happiness is when you say your prayers And also when you pull out your dad's grey hairs Happiness is sharing with your friends Happiness brings Joy to the world.

The fog came down from the bright blue sky. I ran inside, why, why? The dog ran inside for a place to hide. And the cat said, "meow ". I don't like fog. I'll hide myself right next to the

dog. The goose said, "hiss, let's get outof this. " The cow said,

"Moo, go away, shoo". The horse said, "neigh" as he ate his

hay. While the fog stayed around all through the night. All of the animals cuddled up tight.

We went -nto the huge gym and after doing some floor exerc ses and makng patterns with our bodies we were allowed to use any of the gym equipment. I first went to the balancing beam and began my exercises; I walked across the beam then very slowly I turned and pointed my leg out over the other side of the beam. I almost lost my balance but recovered, walked along the beam and jumped off.

Then I went to the vaulting horse and did a forward roll over it; and the last piece of equipment I tried was the parallel bars.

Standing on the lowest bar, I took hold of the upper bar and started to swing.

All too soon, Mrs. White, one of the teachers asked if we would like some refreshment. So of course I went with the

1

others to have a drink and a biscuit. Then we piled into the car and drove back to school.

Dawn saw a small koala clinging to a lone tree. The others had fallen down or were so blackened and weak that the slightest weight would send them tumbling. A great fire had blackened the bush last night and had killed Kala's mother and father, so here he was alone in the now silent bush.

Soon Kala had to think about getting some food, for all his favourite eucalyptus leaves had been stripped from the trees. He espied a fat worm wriggling along the ground. He picked it up and ate it. "Not my idea of a treat," he thought, but still ate it.

After he had tried a few more he felt rather full, so he went up in his tree to go to sleep.

When he woke it was five o'clock. He was just about to go to

sleep again when he saw another koala sitting on a lower branch studying him intently. It was the first living thing Kala had seen since this morning's worms. For a while both of them stared at each other, then Kala held out the fattest and juiciest worm he

had. The other koala (whose name was Kini) gingerly took it. It was her first food in two days. This food had sealed the friendship bond between them.

Between them they raised six healthy babies. *4*4*44%»lr

On a starlit night you may see Kini and Kala with their family.

MISSION 21.34

MY FIRST FLIGHT

My 'First Flight' was perhaps the most wonderful experi-

ence in my life. I will begin at the best place, which is, of course, the beginning. I was hatched on the 23rd October, three years ago. The first emotion I ever felt was loneliness. My

mother had laid five eggs, but only I survived. It was then that I discovered I was an only bird.

mother' s wing; my father bringing me tiny worms; those lovely slimy things that slide down your throat with the greatest of ease; those bitter freezing nights in which my mother and father tried patiently in turns to keep me warm; and the great anxiety of both when I first looked over the edge of the nest.

The next two weeks I have only a faint remembrance of. I know I spent a lot of time looking over the nest or sitting on the edge. My mother and father worried terribly that I might fall, so they decided to teach me to fly as soon as possible. That was my father's job. He gave me some wing exercises to do, and told me to watch carefully his take-offs and landings.

Then I was ready for my first flight. I was four weeks five

days and twenty-three minutes old. I practised my last and most important exercise, then hopped onto the edge of the nest. My

father stood beside me. I flapped my wings once, twice, three times, and took off. At last I was up! I remember this flight so vividly that I feel as if I am reliving it every day.

I felt so wonderful, so free up there that I thought it was the most wonderful feeling in the world. For the first time in my life

I could see the surroundings below me clearly. I swooped down, then soared up again. I flew over deep valleys and winding rivers, their water crystal blue and sparkling; steep mountains carpeted with green and sprinkled with red cherry trees; the tree

in which I live; and, best of all, my father gliding behind me. I circled and flew back the way I came. Gradually my mother came into sight, then when I spotted our nest, I slowed down and landed gracefully on the edge.

RAGGETY ANNE'S TEA PARTY

One day Raggety Anne said, "I will have a tea party. I will

give a letter to Teddy and all my friends. They all came on Monday and had cakes, drinks and all nice things.

The tea party was on the 5th August. Raggety Anne invited Anna, Lisa, Jenny and me, as well as her other friends. After tea

we played "off ground tiggy" and Raggety Anne could not stop smiling.

The following articles have been included in an effort to inform students a little about life afterschool. Sally Gunnis, Head

of the School in 1969, and Helen Sheahan, a member of the

1968 Matric class, briefly outline what they have been doing

Where Are They Now ?

since then.

After completing Matric at Mandeville in 1969 I returned to live with my family in Sydney. In 1970 I commenced a Social Work course at the University of New South Wales and passed

my first year exams. In 1971 I decided to put university life aside temporarily, and attended Hales Secretarial College for a year. At the completion of this course 1 took a position with a legal firm where I.remained until 1973. I then resumed my Social Studies and completed the degree course in 1975. I am now living in Melbourne and working at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in the Social Work Department.

Although it took me five years to complete a three year course due to the break in between, I feel that I came in contact with

people a lot more, which better equipped me for my present position. I recommend Social Work to anyone interested in people as it is both satisfying and rewarding work.

Sally Gunnis.

Right up until my last year at Mandeville I had no idea what to do when I left school. After making inquiries I decided on Speech Therapy - a three year course at Lincoln House, leading to a Diploma of Speech Therapy. Over the three years we

attended lectures at the School of Speech Therapy in Carlton, Melbourne University and several hospitals in Melbourne. The subjects studied included Physiology, Biology, Psychology,

Neurology and Speech Pathology. We also attended Speech Therapy clinics forpractical work which involved assessing and

treating patients. On completion of the course I worked at Mount Royal Hospital, with adults who had lost their speech after suffering strokes. I am now working in the Special Services Division of the Education Department where children are

referred when their speech and language difficulties impede their development at school Helen Sheahan.

PARENTS ASSOCIATION Dear Loreto Parents, This has been a most rewarding and

successful year for th¢ Parent's Association. In the first term we held Class Luncheons and most were well attended. The lunc-

heons gave mothers the opportunity to meet each other in small groups and I know many new friendships were formed. Second term a most successful Film Morning and Luncheon was held at

the Trak Cinema and the amount of $1,050.00 was raised. The

film "Avanti" was enjoyed by all. In the third term we held our Annual Dinner Dance at the Southern Cross Ballroom, with music provided by the ABC Show band. As always, this was a very happy and successful event.

During my term as President I have had the support of many

people and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them.

To Irene Ginies, who works so tirelessly in the running of the

Tuckshop. Betty Farrell for her sterling effort in the Swap Shop.

My Vice Presidents, Helen Whelan and Therese Phillips, who were always there when I needed them. My special thanks to our Secretary, Felicity Braun, and Treasurer, Trish Macdonald; both these positions require a tremendous amount of time and I am most grateful to them for the kindness and assistance they have given me. To Sister Beatrice and members of the Convent

and staff, my sincere thanks for the guidance and help received during the year. To the parents who supported the functions we organised during the year, thank you most sincerely.

And last but by no means least, I would like to thank each and

everyone of my Committee who supported and helped me during 1976 to make it such a satisfactory year of achievement.

Vice President:

Mrs. I. L. Phillips

We have now completed our second year of operation, a year during which we have sought to consolidate upon the sound base established in our inaugural year.

One of the responsibilities entrusted to the Board is to provide expert advice on a very broad range of subjects and matters as

referred to the Board by the Mother Superior. We have deemed it advisable to operate through sub committees to specialise in the areas required, such as finance, welfare, law, property and

real estate, medical matters, architecture, parent involvement, vocational guidance and so on. We believe that given continuity, this method of operation is the most suitable for the task and Will serve Mandeville well in the future.

In addition to the nine elected members, the Board will

include two representatives from the Parents' Association thus broadening representation and, we feel sure, providing additional experience of great value.

Our programme this year was modest but significant.

The Audio Visual testing of children in the Junior School was commenced and this ongoing programme will ensure that in the course of time, all children at the school will have been tested on

a basis similar to the service provided by the State Medical Service to Government schools.

We have established a Maintenance Committee which is

carrying out - with the assistance of parents and friends - a number of maintenance items from the long list prepared by the school. We are hopeful that we may help on a professional basi S with more major items of maintenance in order to keep costs to a

Our major task over the past year has been to examine an d

report upon the means of financing the Library and Re sources Centre due to be built early in 1977. Resultin g from these proposals we have formed an Appeals Committe e made up of representatives from the Past Pupils' Associatior the Loreto Parents' Association and members of the Advisor y

Board. This Committee will be charged with the responsibilit y

of raising the required funds.

In reviewing the past year, we are very conscious of an, grateful for the assistance we have received from many parent S and friends of Loreto who have taken a keen and active interes 't

in our endeavours. We extend our thanks and appreciation t,0 them.

We wish to thank the parents and in the same manner we extend our thanks and gratitude to Sister Beatrice, Sister Jan€

and Sister Margaret. It is a pleasure to work with them and witness their dedication towards those in their charge.

May his dear soul rest in peace.

MARTINA DE CAMPO

Martina first came to Loreto in Grade Four and throughout her years here was a cheerful contributor to the school community. Her natural courtesy, her evident appreciation of values in life, her willingness to become involved and her prowess in a variety of sporting activities will indeed ensure Martina a lasting place in the heart of the school. Her particular loves, however, were horses and skiing. A proficient rider, she was likewise interested in competition skiing, and to this end was a member of the Victorian Junior Squad at Mount Buller.

Martina's death, on the night of Thursday, 23rd September, came as a result df a skiing accident. She was just thirteen years old.

We wish to assure her parents, John and Jean de Campo, of our continued prayer for them both and for the other members of their family: John, Paul, Mary, Peter and Christopher. In sympathy with Martina's family we respect the mystery, while we commend her youthful spirit - in trust.

To the families of those who have died during recent months, we extend our thoughts, our sympathy and our prayers.
