alone...

This time called life

. . . was meant to share.

Every person seems but a speck of civilization, just a dot in the cycle of the world. Yet every individual has a place and an importance. We meet.others everyday, we accept them as others other people like ourselves with a life, a world of their own.

Without this multitude of separate lives, the entire world could not exist. For every individual, though small, fits into a slot in the universal catalogue - one missing individual means one empty slot.

Together we make the world; seemingly unimportant apart, yet togetherness makes each person vital. Together we make up a world, we make up life where no-one is alone, where everyone shares together the wonder that is the universe.

We have come together in this time, life - we are destined to

part when our time is up, yet we can always be together in thought and in spirit so that the world can continue to turn and civilization to thrive.

A SHORT HISTORY OF LORETO (MELBOURNE)

There was no thought of Mandeville Hall in the mind of Reverend Mother Gonzago Barry when in 1888 at the invitation of his Grace Archbishop Carr, a house was purchased for Loreto in

/21.. .r 7. »F'37:4 '995%/*

Emerald Hill (now South Melbourne). The beginning was in

keeping with the ideals of Mother Gonzaga; it was close to the poor and "the poor need us" - she said, echoing the words of Mary

Ward.

.:4.6?61*./.

Divine Providence, however, soon showed that the unhealthy site 4§ »1 ><>' '@§'&1*)"'@51 3 .@ 81 f@ At:k

was most unsuitable for the work of the institute, and accordingly,

a half-acre of ground was purchased (incidentally - from Sir William Clark). in Albert Road, Albert Park.

By 1890-91 the big red brick building with its flat roo f was ready for a five apostolate and as Loreto Primary and Secondary School. In 1892 its apostolate widened as the parochial St. Peter

Melbourne.

Very soon Loreto Albert Park became a flourishing educational centre. Then in 1905, when the Registration of Teachers Act was

passed, there was need for a Catholic Training College in Melbourne. As the pioneer Training College, Dawson St. Ballarat - had already equipped some hundreds of Catholic teachers. Mother Gonzaga was asked by the Bishops to undertake the

greater, urgent work of a central Catholic Training College at

Albert Park. This entailed building adjustments and much administrative planning - "Do good - and do it well" might have been the 'maximum that' dictated the programme of the C.C.T.C.

to the great advantage of the Loreto Primary and Secondary School. The best staff was given - and services of some of the foremost academics of the early century secured.

But it was a happy centre - much loved by students and children - who through later years proved their loyalty to "dear old Albert Park".

Mother Borgia

Encroachments by the industrial area - and lack of sporting facilities urged the then Superior, Mother Dorothea Walker, to

apply for permission to find a more suitable site. In 1924, the "exclusive Boarding House, Mandeville Hall" was up for sale. The time was significant - and the property was purchased for Loreto.

Little did Joseph Clark dream that his elaborate "Victorian Mansion" (completed in 1878) should ever become a school; but in the September of 1924 transit began from Albert Park to Mandeville - and Loreto began anew in a new environment in 1925.

Mention the names of John Denver or The Two Ronnies, and Viv

completely forgets her work. She is an avid indulger of snakes and peppermint frogs, though sometimes she has trouble keeping them in her mouth, and she currently holds the record for the heaviest bread eater in the class. Vi's appearances in lessons are often well

spaced and the European class considers her presence a privilege. Viv, unlike many of her councillors keeps her cool in the council meetings, and believes that any dispute - whether about socials,

bands or drink machines - can be settled by peaceful means.

"REMINISCENCE OF CHILDHOOD"

There was, and still is (what I consider) a strange adult living in my area. I still remember. She is an old, eccentric woman

living alone in a rapidly deteriorating house near our local school, the total student population of which stands at a record breaking forty. Like most children when in a group I found a fascinating type of security for adventuring and taking out dares. So it was while in these numbers that I teased the old lady.

It was only on those rare occasions, while out riding, that I encountered her on my own, and I felt pangs of fear. When I was a pupil at Greenvale Primary School it was only the older kids with

'spunk' that dared to prowl around the old witch's house and invent the most far-fetched stories. Of course, being young, we were

extremely gullible and loved nothing more than to become a part of the adventures,

After all the pranks we played on our 'witch' I dare say she

thought we were precocious little brats, but as my opinion and attitude towards her changed I hope her opinion of me has also

changed.

Believe it or not, our old lady has a name: Mrs. Walters. She

lives in a termite-riddled house, overgrown by a tangle of creepers and thistles. Apart from an old cow that roams around the garden, rugged in a colourful, patchwork rug made of any available scraps

imm:imilimmim""mmunimiz##4****P#i.imal...Atiumilimmil"Imimilim {§5

of material, a cat and a few hens, she is a hermit.

The immense care and love she has for these animals proves she must have a good heart. Her cow is clothed even better than she is herself. The cow wears hessian bags cut to fit over her body like a tent. In winter the old lady ventures outdoors to put her cow under

'alla=tIl*.1*113UIj.jjk .//**2*4.fi .·414#RS- f#--9

shelter and she is dressed in the same old sacks but carries a sheet

of tatty plastic as a feeble attempt to ward off the rain.

Now, after once having helped Mrs. Walters retrieve her cow which managed to escape onto the road, I have changed my opinion to one of combined pity and a type of admiration for a woman who has such a love for animals, placing them above herself and her own needs. Since then she has always come out of her house when she hears Daniel (my horse) and I coming along the

road and given a friendly greeting to me and an affectionate pat to Daniel. I too have a friendly word or two for Mrs. Walters in

"ONE DAY, QUITE SOON, YOU WILL COME TO SCHOOL FOR THE LAST TIME AFTER ABOUT TWELVE YEARS. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS?"

How do I feel about concluding school in the near future? Great! How does a caged bird feel about being set free. The only thing that keeps me going through the last six months o f school is the comfort I find in the promise of freedom at the end. Many say there is a unique type of safety that is only found in being a student, but frankly I don't care much for that kind of, "Be a good girl Ricky. You're only a school girl," type of safety. It is stifling, to say the least. I also feel that being under those conditions for too long kills any natural characteristics given to one

The constant, although somewhat idle threats are beginning to play on my nerves after eleven and a half years of being on the receiving end. Saturday detentions loom overhead like ominous storm clouds. How tempting the offer to play up once grows, knowing that one hundred watchful eyes are searching to catch you out.

"You'll change your mind when you have to start working for

yourself." How often has that tired old rigmarole been pumped into my brain. I don't think I will. After all I am working, in a sense of the word, as it is, except I'm not getting paid for it. A

40**:4*4

working day usually finishes at five whereas mine doesn't. I arrive

home at 5.30 p.m. and am expected to do two and a half hours homework. I consider that overtime! What's more, I don't intend

getting wound up in a dead end job (which I am supposed to do i f I leave school) I know where I want to go and I am hell bent on getting there.

I suppose I should have a kind word for school, as there are not many places that would put up with me for twelve years. I have changed schools fairly frequently to spread the wear and tear on teachers' sanity. Some of the friendliest people I have ever had the

good fortune to meet have been through various schools, so as much as I hate to admit it even school has its good points but I can honestly say 1 won't be shedding any tears of sorrow the day I leave school.

To be born an Aborigine is to be born handicapped. For, the moment they enter this world they are greeted with racial prejudice.

It must be hard to walk along a street and be jeered at, spat upon, remarked about and also be the butt of racist jokes about Abo igines. Aborigines face problems when trying to establish themselves in country towns or cities. Some are illiterate and poor and these factors are serious hinderances when they try to live in the wh*te man's world. Employers will not employ them because they may not be suitably attired or the basic reading and writing skills may be lacking. Also, employers may fear that their employees may go walkabout or, that other white employees

would refuse to work with an Aborigine. Aborigines who are uneducated have a hard time surviving this white man's world.

Often in total despair and anguish, Aborigines turn to alcohol to drown their sorrows. This country has failed to educate them about how to spend their paypackets and how to budget their earnings. Consequently, they may turn to alcohol to help them live in a place where they are torn between two worlds. Painfully but surely, individual Aborigines are breaking through C. Gleisner M.

number of articulate Aborigines but not all of these are interested in a place in white society. Some wish to withdraw into their separate communities on traditional tribal ground.

The pride and fire which Aboriginal leaders are pursuing, points to a rebirth of the Aboriginal spirit.

FORM IV FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBOURS

How many times have you heard it proclaimed that "the fence maketh the man"?

If you live in the same suburb as me then you have never witnessed such a statement - probably never even suspected such

& ***/4@* # %>=1 rm'< 4% 44 /44::4%

an idea; but the simple fact is that fences all over the world are standing up to be counted.

. 9%* Ad=.Z .24

M':t.. :4*'**60

A fence has a temperament similar to that of its master. It may be steadfast and true, stubborn, bright, decrepit, shabby or bold according to the nature of 'the keeper'. But why must such a creature as the suburban or rural fence constantly be subject to the

whims of the suburban or rural builder? There is no reason for it

and therefore neighbours, support your fence while it supports you!

'&4%

The average fence can be described as being placidly silent, seldom aggressive and though fond of wandering it will never stray far. It is usually there when you want it. Not so with the average

neighbour, whose emotions, actions and reactions are too grossly preposterous to be inflicted on the simple fence, without a qualm.

L Miller, H Self, S Height, S Byrnes, C Longuire, S Del

What we want in this world is goodness, especially in our

Fevero, C Sheehan

neighbours. We want the sort of goodness that blows up the seven thirty, Sunday morning lawn-mower, and floods the Sunday afternoon incinerator. This goodness can be attained through our

fences, the solemn planks across which we reach our neighbours. Many a shout has been thrown over the garden fence with great success. The staunch, woodish wall willingly clothes its nakedness

§56&

with the daily washing. The steadfast barrier resists all temptation

#Inve'll/'ll

to double up with laughter as the paint-brush gently strokes. The

UES##amr#Ali.

happy divider holds up its planks with joy to support the thoughtful idler and profound thinker. An educated fence could win its way to the heart of any neighbour, become as a member of the family and, as a chip off the old block, guide their path, guard their secrets, limit their view of life so that they judge themselves first. Such a silently eloquent creature could become a social leveller. No more hierarchy. Just the fences and neighbours existing in harmony.

A good fence does make a good neighbour. It protects the person

idP

liF'

*--&*83

behind while serving the person in front. If you think the best neighbour is a silently obscure type, then treat your fence with kindness and warmth, for when the sunlight of love shines full on, the shadows can only fall behind.

THE TRAIL OF THE SEA

It was sunset, the crimson haze reflecting on lonely clouds, sunshine was glinting lazily, peacefully on the soft lapping waves. Soon these peaceful waves would tumble into a wild torrent of swirling foam, twist, turn and tumble through craggy rocks that are moulded by this continuous thrashing o f the merciless waves drumming the slowly changing, dark rocks into grains of pate, gold sand.

THE TRAMP

The old man shuffles along the street, with the look of bewilderment in his tired eyes. His beard, now matted, is a grey, white

colour and his faded green hat is pulled down to his forehead not showing the wrinkles on his frowning face. His greenish coat is buttoned right up and a small piece of brown material is wrapped around the worn out collar of a pale green shirt. His kahki trousers go to the heel of his supposedly black boots which are covered in

dried clay and mud, with only the unpolished cap of them showing. He draws his gnarled, chaffed hands out of his pocket to scrounge around in the rubbish bin beside the gutter. He rummages through. but does not find anything edible or of use. He then shuffles on slowly down the path. Felicity Byrnes Form 3

On a clear, dark, deathlike night high above the sparkling lights, it stands alone.

Below, the city is again retiring. The abandoned streets look lonely. Then, suddenly, the muddy sidewalks are hit by a cold gushing wind which gathers and blows groups of littered papers down the deserted road.

But still, the star stands alone. Its rays of light beaming down on the city are not forgotten nor abandoned, as little eyes peep out of their small windows watching in amazement as it glitters above.

FORM III MEMORIES OF SUMMER

As the rain poured heavily down, like the sound of pounding

drums upon the roof, the thought of summer seemed an eternity away. The refreshing sight of the beach, on a sweltering hot day, with the sun slowly baking our skins to a golden brown. The rippling blue water, shining brightly on the sun tipped waves which crashed gently upon the sandy shore. In the distance, the tall green palms swayed slowly to the rhythm of a warm north wind, while in the aqua blue sky, there was no trace of a fluffy white cloud. A gusty wind offered sailboats a chance to release their multi-coloured sails and begin their sprint across the calm waves. A cluster of

seagulls gathered nearby, squawking to picknickers, who sat shielded from the sun, under a big floppy umbrella. The day was peaceful, and as the sun slowly reached its horizon, we left for home, surrounded by a pastel-coloured sky. Cathy Reed 3 Blue

THE MISERIES OF A HAIR-PIN

I'd like to tell you the miseries of a hair-pin. First of all I'm forever being lost in old dirty handbags amongst the tissues, powders, rouge, lipsticks, coins, raffletickets and other such objects that a hair-pin disdains. And of course there is the toilet; I'm always being dropped in it and I'm not a very good swimmer either. Dirty hair, I hate it! People are so inconsiderate they do not think of the common hair-pin and the work I do for them! Life could be so heavenly without the dirt, grease and tangles of unkempt hair. They even use me to clean their nails - can you believe it! And to think they use me to pick locks and open doors, breaking my back and my fine tips in doing so. And then being discarded when arms are weak from holding something more like rope than hair. Help me! Don't choke me with your dirty hair or misuse me. Clean healthy hair is all I ask for and a little respect for your common hair-pin.

THE LAST CRY OF THE WHALE

As I raised my head I saw the white peaks rolling slowly to the beach.

I sank down -

The cold, watery sprays blew in front of my path. I could see the faint indentations of the cliffs that jutted out to sea.

The movement of the solitary seagull, flying high above me. I went down into the depths below. I surfaced again letting the air leave my lungs, blowing out the salty water.

Then something tore through my body at a speed that made me buckle.

The feeling of nausea hit me and I dived down to escape the

frightening ordeal. But it gripped me and pierced my side more painfully. I let out a strenuous cry because of the horrifying pain.

Once again the sombre night decays slowly, as far away a small light infiltrates the darkness of the early hours of the day.

I stride over the cool, dewy grass, my footsteps a solitary noise among the quiet. The crisp night air bites, making me shudder momentarily.

I stop and listen; I hear a rustle from the silhouetted trees. The birds have awoken; a solo singer starts its morning song, and one by one its mates join in, to make a morning chorus. All traces of night are removed as the full sun bursts forth in a mass of light, bringing with it the glory of the day!

planned the day ahead. A small number of dogs emerged from the surrounding bush and gathered around the fire or sat at their owners' feet. The clink of chains could be heard as the hobbled

horses began to graze on the foliage. Gradually the stockmen

gathered their bridles, "poleys", and saddled up. A herd of brumbies had been sighted by a couple of graziers

three of which had foals at foot and all were led by a grey stallion. All the horses grazed peacefully until odd crackling sounds were heard by the stallion. The horses were becoming restless and there was a sense of uneasiness as the snapping of twigs seemed to surround them. Suddenly the jingle of a bit broke the tension, causing all the horses to dart off in all directions.

The chase was on. Stockmen and dogs broke their cover causing the horses to group again and race madly for any gap in the human fence. The stockmen had planned their positions well and the brumbies went tearing down a passage way in the bush surrounded by stockmen. The brumbies were beserk with fear as the dogs were on their heels and yapping noisily. Slowly the horses were reducing their speed to an easy canter breathing heavily with the sweat dripping from their sides. Ahead of the path there was a clump of trees with wings coming from it. The stockmen were closing in on the horses and driving them towards the holding yard. Desperately

the brumbies tried to make one more dash to the freedom of the

mountains, but the pressure of the stockmen was too great and before the brumbies realised, they were trapped inside the yard. In a last frenzy of fear horses hurled themselves against the fences of

The stockmen dismounted to look at their catch closely, then mounted and went back to camp leaving the brumbies to quieten down. As the sun went down the figures of horses silhouetted against the evening sky could be seen. In the night a lonely neigh of longing rang through the bush. F. Conroy -Al.ipilili./.peaR:%2

A DAY AT THE BEACH

We all knew it was going to be a beautiful day, although it was morning and the sun had not yet risen. Every-one quickly and excitedly jumped out of bed. Not even I grumbled when I had to get up.

The day started just as we were leaving in the car. The sun arose like a multi-coloured fan, with its many degrees of light, but, then again it was also like some huge giant that had just woken from a

hundred years of sleep. The giant rose, and very swiftly,

contracted, expanded and made all sorts of distorted shapes. After what had seemed ages the sun finally and fully raised its brilliant head.

No sooner had we arrived at Torquay, than my brothers, Keith and Des, were summoned. They were both very successful in their surfing races. They were truly like dolphins cutting through the water as easily as a knife cuts through cake. After much excitement the day ended. Happy, victorious and content we walked to the car-park. The sun now was dreading the

BRUMBIES

Simone Baker Form 1 Gold

These horses, magnificent brumbies, are determined to come upon and fall into a dream of beauty. They gallop like the wind towards an unknown land.

They are like birds gracefully gliding through the air without an effort, they are wonderful beasts gleaming like stars, hypnotized by a strange force, which is pulling them on to a land of beauty. Their heaven is the green pastured lands. Their aim is reach this heaven of richness.

And their minds linger as they approach their dream. Black as night is the stallion, leading his family on through danger and through peace. Strong in body and in mind, this horse knows where to go - to a land of a horse's dream - a magnificent dream.

Will they reach this land, this dream? Will these horses gallop on and on, stubbornly as they search for a haven to be forever in peace?

Their heaven is the green pastured lands. Their aim is to reach this heaven of richness.

And their minds linger as they approach their dream . ..! Tricia Mortensen

IT IS COMING!

Tomorrow may be the day, or it might be the day after that. All I know is that it will come.

It will come in the darkness of night, and no-one will see it but I.

No-one, for they will have gone, gone to a happiness far greater than mine. But I will join them, when, I do not know. It strikes at the strangest of times, and the test will determine my fate. The fate of my everlasting-life.

I love the fuel of Autumn,

Those lazy golden days When sun still warms the earth

Through never clearing haze. Green leaves turn to gold,

Brown, orange rust and red, For soon the life is over

Though winter sleep is not dead. The storm winds shake the branches

And scatter wide the leaves,

To make a golden carpet

To stretch amongst the trees. The ripened fruit hangs ready, The bees their work have done To fill the store times over

With fruit for everyone. The cycle is now completed Like life here when work is done, The fruits of our life's harvest

THE BLACK CAT

The Black cat yawns, Opens its jaws, Stretches its legs and sharpens its claws,

Then, it gets up and stands on four long legs. The tip of its tongue turns up at the end. It arches its back as far as it goes, And then it lets itself down with much care, and pads away with its tail in the air.

The new library basically consists of a large open-plan area containing the bookstacks, periodicals, catalogue and reference materials. The seating will be divided between group study tables,

individual study carrels and an informal reading area. There is also a separate seminar room.

The administrative section will have a librarian's office plus a workroom provided with working bench space, running water and a book-lift to bring heavy parcels up to the first-floor level. In addition there is to be an audio-visual area containing a small audio-recording room, a room for the video-cassette recorder and

storage for audio-visual equipment and materials, all of which point to the possibility of greatly expanded audio-visual services.

This festival, the first of its kind on such a large scale, offered excellent opportunities for students of French and anyone with a general interest in the country, to view some of the well known, as well as the less known, products and cultures of France. It is hoped that in the future similar festivals will be organised enabling Victorians to enjoy and understand the differences in the French way

RETREATS: 'STRANGER CAMPS' --

In our matric year we can become bogged down in our studies and in many ways become rather insular people. This is where the 'Stranger' Camps begun only this year, can lift us out of this rut. About ten retreats were held this year; they are conducted by a group of older teenagers and one or two priests. They aim, and have succeeded by all accounts, in helping us discover more about

FORM 5&6 SOCIAL

This year the Form 5&6 social was held on the last day of first term (5th May) at the Lower Melbourne Town Hall, from 7.30-12.

The business skills of Liz Poynton, Helen Buis, Viv Reed, Fiona

Keech, Bernadette O'Sullivan and all the councillors were greatly

appreciated. With their continued effort and support, the 1977 school social proved a most enjoyable and memorable event.

The music which was supplied by Orpheus enticed even the more

conservative members of staff from their seats, making it a most enjoyable evening for all involved.

Special thanks must go to Sr. Jane and to Mr. Poynton who contributed so much to the success of the evening.

Mandeville Hall played a big part in the production of "The

NO ANGER UP FOR THE ABORIGINES

our earlier efforts, had no urgent need for the newly raised money.

On April the 3rd, 1977, a walkathon was going to take place. Community Aid Abroad was running it. It started at the Art Gallery and you could choose whether you wanted to go on the 20 km or 33 km walk. Millions of people were going to take part in it. The money raised was going to be sent to India, Africa and

Instead, unable to attach herself to some government position in order to secure funds for a solo job in organising a recreation cen-

Grand piano has helped to bring out the quality of their music The audience is often agreeably surprised by the talent displayed by Junior and Senior School students alike

PRODUCTION

In continuation of the annual productions of previous years this year's performance was the musical, 'The Wizard of Oz', based on the novel by L. Frank Baum, held at the Alexander Theatre, Monash. Those partaking were forms four and five in their Wednesday Programme, and forms one, two and three.

The producer, Sue Saxon, was assisted by Mrs. Andrews and Sr. Carina, and the orchestra was conducted by Brian Blake. Other assistants were prompter - Chris Vella, and stage manager Cathy MacKinnon.

The superb acting of Sue Height (Dorothy), Anne Fitzgerald (Scarecrow), Lisa Watson (Tinman), and Dominique Murray

(Lion), was much enjoyed by an appreciative audience. Both performances were well attended.

Other girls who took part in the production were, Lisa Taylor, Jenny Cooke, Mary Kehoe, Anne Cosgriff, Leonie Wood, Sue Hess, Katrina Fox, the Munchkins, the Generals, the dancers

(Skeletons, Jitterbugs) and the ballet was arranged by Mrs. O'Donaghue.

THE STEINWAY PIANO

Early this year Mandeville acquired a magnificent black Steinway Grand Piano It was realized that a high quality instrument was greatly needed within the school, especially with the rapid increase of interest in the field of Music that has taken place over the last few years, and it was decided to purchase one to mark the coming centenary of the Oak Parlour in 1978

The Steinway has already been used in the Oak Parlour Musicales, which have once again proved to be a great success I hope that all future Music students will derive as much pleasure

and enjoyment from such a fine instrument as I have during the year Suzanne Lee

The perfect chairman is that mythical person who can control a debate without seeming dictatorial, manage people without those people realising that they are being managed, and it helps enormously if he knows the rules of debating. Born chairmen are not common, and those who really know their business are even rarer. The chairman has many duties, responsibilities and powers.

The chairman also has the honour of welcoming people to the debate, announcing the topic and introducing the speakers. At the end of the debate the chairman thanks the speakers, audience and adjudicators. With this done the chairman's duties are finished. He can now breath a sigh of relief, collapse in a chair and pray he never has to chair another debate. Jane Arundell

The general standard throughout the four house teams can be attributed not only to the competitors, but also the Captains and monitors who showed a great deal of leadership and spirit. The honors went to Mornane, closely followed by Barry, Mulhall and Ward. Continuing with our training programme, the Aths Team were well "in gear" for the big day - the Inter-School Sports which we won for the 5th consecutive year. The relays nicely finished the day with all but 2 teams coming in at 1st place. Again, we met with victory at Aberfeldie Park in the Victorian Schoolgirls Championships. Despite the miserable weather the supporters and the participants all strove together to our great victory. About 9 girls won medals for their outstanding performance (see photo).

NETBALL

Netball, I am happy to say, is a schoolwide, ever-popular sport.

This is only natural. All friendly, clean, dynamically health con-

ducive sports deserve an immense following! Competition this year has been constant, with night competitions, Saturday afternoon competition, inter-class and casual inter-school competition; outof-town competition (Ballarat), staff-student competition and of course the inevitable but so far indefinite matric-builders competition. Our matric team reached heady heights by clinching the C.S.S.N.A. trophy and may now contentedly retire to leave the fifth form team, the fourth form team and the two third form teams to follow up its not wholly undeserved victory.

As long as taste and good manners and a regard for the finer things in life reign over Mandeville, netball will reign over the courts.

Well, I don't know how it happened but people have begun to realise that there is something else that can be done in a pool other than swimming. Besides the fact that diving has always been in-

cluded in the swimming sports, it has come to light that it requires a great deal less effort than swimming, and, as a result there has

been more enthusiasm in this fairly simple exercise. A number of the best divers trooped down to the Olympic pool as often as we could to learn even more about diving for the InterSchool Sports.

It became a surprise to learn that more could be done besides doing simple straightforward dives and after many painful unsuccessful attempts, we began to master some more breathtaking dives. Anna Macgoldrick kept up the tradition of winning the Under II while Sarah Gardner insisted on once again taking a place with Windsor in the Under 13. Joc Mac surprisingly took first place in the under 15 and the open - well we'll skip that one. Anyway we'll see you in

Once again Mandeville starred in swimming by carrying off the Inter-School trophy for the fifth year in a row. Part of the success was due to the fact that the girls put in a lot of hard training under the supervision of Mr. Simpson and his sons. The outstanding

Baker and Liz Poynton.

Early in the year the Inter-House Swimming Sports were held at the Harold Holt Memorial Pool. This year Mulhall carried off the trophy followed closely by Ward, Barry and Mornane. Again there was eager support right throughout the forms and a lot of organisation was put into the day to make it a success. The Adele Hollywood Award was won by Michelle Baker who again proved

to be the most outstanding swimmer throughout the day. Thanks must go to Mrs. Schaefer, Miss Downey, Jo Henke, Mrs. De Soysa and Mr. Simpson for their dedication and congratulations to all swimmers who led Mandeville to victory 0"/"".-1-8$*868$8*88SB®889989

VOLLEYBALL

The standard of volleyball has once again remained high due to the efforts and enthusiasm of the students at Mandeville. The

junior teams have been successful in their matches, as have the Senior volleyball 'A' team who have remained undefeated. (One of our proudest moments was defeating Queens Grammar in Ballarat). Both Junior & Senior teams have won against other schools including Lauriston and Korowa. It is hoped that the

students will continue their interest in volleyball and remain successful in this sport. Kathy Cronin 54

'Fastest Schoolgirl Champion'

Fiona Mantello (Mandeville A. Team) This year at Mt. Bulla, Mandeville entered two teams in the "Victorian Inter-Schoolboy/Schoolgirl Skiing Championships". We did well, as our A Team did not have three 'Australian Ski

Team Girls' as the Korowa team did. Our 'B' Team girls did very well too, coming 4th overall in the girls' section. We had a very good day.

There were ninety competitors, so we had to start quite early in the morning to prepare the course. We collected our numbers at the 'Victorian Ski Association' office at 9.00, then we made our way to

the course. The girls were very nervous as most of them hadn't raced before.

The course was a slalom which was quite tight and long. The day finished with a cocktail party and presentation at the 'Victorian Ski Club' Fiona Mantello

HOCKEY 27

As***'

*7*2

After being sadly neglected for a long time, hockey has been making a remarkable come-back at Mandeville over the past

9 J(21* e .I '3 - k'lillill

years. The season this year was hampered by the very wet weather which often created a mudbath on the front lawn.

Despite this, a number of matches were played against O.L.S.H. Bentleigh, St. Michael's, M.L.C. Elsternwick, Lauriston and Sacre Coeur. Although defeated (in most cases by only one goal) the 0.1*

.A.'

teams - especially Forms 4 and 5 - show great promise. The "high-light" of the season was definitely the Staff/Student match

t./././Ita

held on August 4th. Most team members managed to stay afloat,

but there were noticeable exceptions which resulted in very wet and

C Lisukiewicz, M Reed, J Clarke, K Fagan, S Gardiner,

muddy track suits. The students defeated the staff 2 goals to 0, but the staff spirit was not down. Our thanks must go to Mrs. De Soysa for being such a dedicated coach, and for creating hockey teams that are fast becoming formidable opponents.

Suzanne C. Lee

Mandeville in 1977 saw the return of Mr Michael O'Brien from

Canada where he had been training the Olympic team. Miss Coombes, who coached, during his absence, is still involved in fencing on the Wednesday programme and under the guidance of both of them fencing has continued to remain at a fairly high standard in the school.

Instead of participating in the Victorian Fencing Championships

this year, Mandeville, chiefly under the organization of Mr. O'Brien, held its own competition, Linda Goltz won the Open Final of this meeting and Melissa O'Connor came second in the Under 15 Section Congratulations must be extended, though, to all girls who participated both from

Mandeville and the other schools.

Proceeds from this competition and a few other fund raising activities have been saved in the hope of raising more money to buy

electrical equipment for the school and improve present fencing facilities Goodluck fencing captain 1978 Cathy Sneddon 56

SPORTS CAPTAIN'S REPORT

141*

Well, there is not much left to say as each captain has already highlighted the achievements, the victories and outstanding performances within the school. Given this opportunity I would like to

pat on the back all the girls who competed actively within the school. Although these girls may not have achieved victory, they have gained the essential learning experience of defeat. Their individual efforts have helped develop a sense of unity within the

Elf#€it«***

/944%9»*44%

school as a whole.

0%%94*4*3*%*.#. 8:kmd-,0 ..as**91*45:*2&§@

The school this year, through the co-operation of all individuals, has accomplished many things such as the introduction of a water polo team, orienteering course, a new school wind-cheater and a movie of the girls in action. Thanks to all, Mandeville had a good year. Hopefully, the years to come will be as enjoyable and the people involved will have as much fun as I did. I'd like to wish the captains and teachers luck for next year and

-€=-2 -/1.-.

hope they keep the school spirits high in '78.

THE SONG

The song is cheerful, bright and happy, The song explodes in colour, It whirls around the hall

Calling us to dance the night away.

-I-Ill:I:

The mood has changed, The song is slow The music drifts around our heads

And now we are called to sit and enjoy The music, so soft, so low.

And once again it brightens up, Our song is quick and lively, We all get up to dance, To dance the night away. Caroline Trescowthick Grade 6 Gold

THE HORSE

The horse stands in the field under the shade of an old elm tree.

Old and weary he stands looking at the wheat field. He slowly rolls his food round back teeth, dozing in the hot sun. His ears twitch and his flowing mane lifts and ruffles in the breeze,

His tail flaps away the flies, slowly, carefully. The rhythm of his walk shows contentment. As I watch him and notice his thick, shiny, coat. It flashes in the sun, when he turns his head towards me

His eyes are rich and dark. I bury my head in his fur and remember When I had first met him.

HANDS

Hands are used to express all kinds of things. A mother uses her hands to hold a baby and express her love for it. Hands are used for caring. Doctors and nurses use their hands to show they care for us.

So do teachers when you fall over. Friends comfort us with their hands. Hands are used to hold things such as another hand or a

teddy bear. Babies are always holding things with their hands. Hand are useful for holding a friend's things for him, for sewing and washing up, for writing and for turning but most of all they're for loving and caring.

AN OLD TREE

A brown, gaunt tree Fading fast in the sorrowful, dy'ng time of Autumn.

Strong and old - maybe centuries of time. Dappled in sunshine, brown and green, An old fading tree. Gnarled with pointed leaves

Turn-ng brown and bare.

In W'nter 't will beat its bare branches together

In the w'nd and cold. The leaves fall.

They a e crisp and crumbly.

We tread on them, Then the wind blows them far away. Margaret Clancy Grade 5

because there is no warm fire here I'm very hungert The things that scurry across the floor are hard to catch but at least I have something to drink even though it lin't as sweet as the warm milk that Lisa pours for me to go with the fish that Perry catches Waitl There's someone comingl It's Mr McCartney on his bicycle I'm no longer alone'" Fiona Morris Grade 5

HOW THE WITCH GOT HER LONG TEETH

Once upon a time there lived an old witch who had no teeth. One

@»rt

day she went walking in the forest. She saw a huge fire coming

..44*3¢*

closer and closer. She started running for her life. Following her were six white rabbits. Suddenly she bumped into a tree with her mouth wide open and one of the rabbits jumped into her mouth and

its two long ears were sticking out and so that's how the witch got her long teeth.

Once the Echidna didn't have any spikes! I am going to tell you about a curious Echidna who wanted spikes.

One day he started out to look for spikes. He was walking for a

long time when he came to a desert. His legs were aching, so he sat

asleep there was a terrible storm. The cactus bush fell on top of him, and all the spikes went into him. When he woke he had prickles on him and it didn't even hurt!

From then on he was able to protect himself from the animals who were his enemies. So from now on all echidnas have prickles. Catherine Sarto 4 Blue

slopes. One day many years ago, I had a terrible pain in my stomach. I told my friends of this, and that I had a sore head. They said I had a crack on the top of my head and that I was about to erupt. I was scared. What did that mean? And so they told me that boiling hot lava would flow from the top of my head coming from my stomach. I would then be called a volcano.

IN MEMORIAM SR. SERAPHINA MORRISSEY I.B.V.M.

On May 15th, 1977, after a long illness patiently borne, Sr. Seraphina's sufferings were ended by a peaceful death; indeed,

those who were present said it was like the tranquil going to

-*Repa *i·* I 4/8/T

*''ime

sleep of someone who had earned her rest.

During her many years at Loreto, Toorak, Sr. Seraphina won the affection both of the students with whom she was associated, and of numerous other friends.

It became evident towards the end of last year that her condition was critical. She was greatly comforted by visits from her sister, Miss Kathleen Morrissy from Western Australia

e.§%*€4%

who spent the patient's last Christmas with her, and later, her brother, Mr. Keith Morrissy.

The principal celebrant of her Con-celebrated Requiem Mass

was Father Paul Ryan, a faithful friend of many years who never forgot Sr. Seraphina's devotion to his only sister, Marie Ryan, who died suddenly.

The crowded chapel gave evidence of the affection in which Sr. Seraphina was held, by both past and present pupils, and by many other friends. May she rest in peace.

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

Dr. Frank Costigan - father of Miss Mimi Costigan, teacher of Grade 2.

Mr. E. Dillon - brother of Miss Maggie Dillon, teacher of Grade 4.

Mr. Des. English - father of Caitlin

Mr. L. Moylan - father of Miss Patricia Moylan, teacher of Grade 6.

Mrs. Joan Nix - mother of Gabrielle

Brother Alan Ratcliffe - teacher of the Harp

Mr. Joseph Szotyory - husband of Mrs. Val Szotyory member of staff for many years.
