The making of a school magazine as a memoir for years to come can perhaps be best compared to the taking of a photograph - although the ideal is to make the best possible reproduction of the subject, there is a need to contrast and highlight some aspects and to play down others, not because they are less important, but for reasons of balance, space and perspective. As in life, it is difficult to achieve the

sought-after balance. Some things evade our sight, some are scarcely perceived, others inspire and become part of a recorded heritage. Granted the limitations, we can only hope that our readers will find this magazine to be a recognizable portrait. THE EDITORS

ANDREA CONDON

Andrea came to Loreto in 1975 and was loved and

respected by both teachers and fellow students. She was

known for her smiling face, her conscientious application to her studies, her co-operation and courtesy and most of all, for her quiet faith and appreciation of values. She loved to be involved and showed a keen interest in all aspects of school life - sport, drama, production, speech and art.

ROSEMARY LEY

Rosemary Ley was a student at Loreto for twelve years, completing her Higher School Certificate studies in December 1977 with a pass that quali fied her entrance into the Law Faculty at Melbourne University in March this year.

Those of us who knew Rosemary were not really conscious of the physical handicaps she suffered - handicaps

Andrea's death came suddenly on Tuesday, 16th May as a result of a horse riding accident whilst away on holidays. She was 14 years old.

To her parents John and Pauline, to her brothers John and Richard and to her sister Susie, we offer our deepest sympathy and prayers. Andrea has been called home before us, but her spirit remains, and she continues to live her praise of a God whose designs are beyond our understanding.

find words to capture the spirit. There was something of determination, of sensitivity and interest in the pursuit of truth; of honesty, of ambition, of wisdom, of integrity, of deep faith, of gentleness - and a capacity for fun, for humour, for action and for sustained friendship, all of which seem to characterise Rosemary's school years. In all, she was, and will remain an inspirational figure in the history of this particular school community. Her friends her teachers, the members of her class, cannot but witness to this.

Rosemary died very suddenly during the early hours of Sunday, 3Oth July. She died in the company of friends and in the midst of celebration.

THE AGONIES WITHIN

On, why is it that mortals cry, With never ending sorrow then die

What is it that makes their minds gush with fears, And their faces cascade in salty tears. Is it the plight of their inner soul, Of which no-onecan understand, Or will behold.

Or is it the thought of tomorrow, Which makes them sad, Of having to step into another of nature's dawns,

And not having how to respond, Or (is it the) when to act.

Are they in one bubble, or a bubble of their own. What strange creatures are these, That attack with vengeance and with spite, And overrule their fellow man,

For the sake of winning a mortal fight. Are they suppressed within their own beings,

Thrust into a world of nothingness which seems to be; A gracious place. So farscical the world is to me

Even our histories, of which we hear but do not see, No more do I want to be.

You left her crying...

They say she turned her pet bat into a wizard And when the Japanese Army came They took him hostage. So now she cries again.

033 REVIEW: THE GLASS MENAGERIE %:

Once again the Arena Theatre has performed for us an enjoyable play, with the four cast members doing a commendable job on the script of The Glass Menagerie, by

American Writer Tennessee Williams. It tells the story of a period in the life of the Winfield family. The mother, Amanda, is a domineering woman brought up in the Old South. Her illusions of grandeur from another age do not fit in with the life in their little city flat. Laura is the

daughter - shy, crippled and living in a world of her own, peopled with the tiny animals from her glass menagerie. Tom, the son of the household, is a dreamer who longs for a world of romance and adventure, away from his own humdrum life. He finds his only solace at the movies... The plot revolves around Amanda's efforts to find a

"gentleman caller" for Laura. But her dreams of marriage go astray when the gentleman caller, Jim O'Connor,

comes out with an unexpected surprise... and Laura

finds that her momentary happiness was as fragile as her glass menagerie.

Amanda Winfield was undoubtedly the best actress on the stage. Her accent never failed and the two facets of her character came across clearly; that of a domineering, interfering woman, and that of a mother who loves and wants the best for her children, though she may go about it very untactfully. Laura and Tom were the weaker more straight forward characters who played their roles- ade-

quately. The last actor to make an appearance played Jim, the fatal gentleman caller. His character was more vibrant than Laura's and although he dominated in their act together, Laura's character was expanded and this, combined with the more interesting conversational aspect,

made the final act the best.

All in all, The Glass Menagerie was a very worth while

play, and brought some of the more interesting points in life out into the open and provided some even more interesting discussions in the various classes. Cathy Sheehan

Form Five Christian Living Camps. 1978. At the end of second term, Form five girls participated in a Christian Living Camp with the corresponding Form from Xavier. There were two camps for us; "Clevedon" and "Mitchum Hills." The boys divided into four, two groups working with the fifth form Mary's Mount girls at Ocean Grove and Anglesea. It was a new experience for all of us and though we did not know what to expect at first, it was unanimously declared a success.

The camps commenced on a Sunday night. Various teachers from different schools attended either part-time or full, and we each had a priest in charge of operations. Father Des Dwyer from Riverview stayed with the Mitchum Hills group while Father Chris Gleeson went to Clevedon. Each group began with some "getting to know

you" games that successfully dispersed the atmosphere of separation and nervousness, and immediately we knew that our stay was going to be fun.

Wednesday morning was an evaluation of all that had occurred during our time there. Finally it was time to leave and there was a feeling of regret in all of us that such an enjoyable time was so quickly at an end.

George was a dull man, he lived in a dull little room, with some mediocre mice and he held a dull job. Every morning, he caught a bus to the toy factory where he worked. George was forty-seven and still an apprentice "Canadian Ranger" tester - he wound up toy soldiers. It was a tiresome job so George was always untangling the toys when they fell over. It was the tiring quality of his job which prompted George's one outstanding achievement. George had had vague notions about producing Rangers that could march in straight lines. It was tiresome having

Each night he would sit in front of the radiator peering into his "Guide for Prospective Toy-Makers" book. When he had collected all the necessary parts, George began to construct his dream. Little by little, the toy colonel grew, first his body and then his head, until on the 28th June, the first "Skating Ranger" became a reality. The next morning, George slipped the "Skating Ranger", Charles, into his coat pocket. When he arrived at

't :44. THE MOUSE FARM

'41'.:Ak 12*411 0

You may not be aware of the numerous mouse farms

scattered over our countryside. Mouse farming however is a very complex and vital industry. Many of today's cats rely on it for their livelihood-employment, business and food.

Ike-=23&142624*%4 J. Davies, M. Hurley, K. Winship, K. Bond, L. Fetherstonhaugh. C. Walsh, D. Quin, L. O'Halloran, F. MacDonald.

Mouse farms are most commonly located in unusual farming sheds, abandoned cars and haystacks. Mice loathe open spaces so they require dark confined nooks and crannies to reside in. The frame work of the farm is very intricate and architecturally advanced. The mice are housed in a labyrinth of sections, catagorized according to breed and purpose. Rabbits are employed as care-takers and

mouse-keepers.

The mice are fed with crops discreetly obtained by a "mutual agreement" with the local human farmers. Regardless of breed, all mice eat basically the same food from usually the same ignorant farmer. There are many and varied types of mouse farms. Some mice are bred for experimental uses, some for meat and

others for their fur. There are some advanced farms that even breed mice with an acute sense of smell. These are

sold to cheese factories to help in judging cheeses.

Each breed is ued for a specific purpose. Albino mice are used particularly for their valuable furs. The ordinary field mouse is bred for its quality meat and the "piebald" variety, which is known for its intelligence, is only used for experimental needs (as they have no other value). The rare

The year I remember best from those days is 1969. I was the youngest child in a family of six. The next youngest

was Gerard who was six years my senior. Gerard was not

exactly my idea of a perfect playmate, so I had to look elsewhere for company. My sister Sara, who was fifteen, was my permanent baby-sitter. Therefore, ever since I was past the age of one, was Sara's, and her friend Kitty's amusement.

On visits to Kitty's house I met her younger brother Josh. Josh played the part of my childhood sweetheart. 1969 was the year I started at Kindergarten. Josh and I could always be seen together in the playground holding

weekends, we continued to live life as freely and as simply

as possible. Josh was a romantic, quiet boy who was not

interested in adventure. I was the domineering woman and often left Josh in tears when he could not get his own way. While the American President was resigning, the war was flaring in Vietnam and Catholics were killing Protestants in Ireland, we spent the summer climbing plum trees, picking figs and lying on the grass making witches and beautiful princesses out of the clouds. But one weekend, that all changed. Josh introduced me to his next door neighbour, Andrew Meed. Meed was the rebel in our group. He had a two-wheeler bike and considered himself to be a "bikie". In meeting him, I also met adventure, trouble, fun and mischief. The next weekend,

Josh and I were at Meed's house. Meed had told us of a

nearby vacant block of land which we would explore. As

my eyes lit up with excitement, Meed jumped on his bike and Josh followed uninterestedly behind us. As our destination came slowly into focus, I became more and more excited. It resembled a jungle with the appropriate imaginary wild bears. We picked up our

shotguns and entered bravely, with Meed first, myself second and Josh inspecting the insides of his pockets, behind. We stalked and shot prey, were bitten by a snake

100 feet long, were chased by head-hunters and I was captured and daringly rescued by Meed. Then suddenly the imaginary jungle was shattered like a ball through a window - four "big kids" turned the corner and entered the vacant lot, with cheeky grins and cigarettes in hand.

The poisoned dart quickly disappeared from Meed's neck; the trees and grass immediately shrank into proportion and all the wild beasts vanished as soon as we were

aware of the big kids' presence. We formed a single file

ran all the way home. By the next day we had forgotten our embarrassment and we acted out another thrill-packed adventure story.

It wasn't quite the same, however. We never fully recaptured the experience of that first day at the vacant lot. That carefree day of dangerous and exciting exploits stands out in my mind - stands out above everything else in that year of climbing plum trees and picking figs.

The kitchen was quiet except for the crackling of the fire which sent out a waft of warmth into the bare room. A

white-hot coal fell out of the fire, burning yet another black mark into the shredded remains of the carpet. A small black table lay in the middle of the room, strewn with the remains of breakfast; milk lay stagnant in its bowl and the toasts' corners were slowly curling up. The wallpaper, which used to be a brilliant white, was now a

Mary Ward, as we know her today, was a very religious

and faithful woman. Yet during her life-time she was classed a rebel. We can compare this rebellious Mary Ward to a contemporary of our time, Martin Luther King Jr. Both

these people strove for a cause; Mary Ward for religious rights for women; Martin Luther King to bring equality to the colored people. Both suffered. Both were jailed and persecuted. But through these hardships both remained true to their dreams. The realization of their dreams

founded a new step in the religious lives of women and equality of ali people.

REVIEW: "ADAPT OR DIE"

, This play performed on Friday, March 31st was "Drama

of the Absurd" about human behaviour. The setting is a family home and gradually goes right through the past back to the beginning of the world, with the first living cell, mammals and then coming back again to the creation of man. The play shows historic happenings such as wars

else.

The miming and acting of the actors was well done too.

There was background music on occasions and this added color to the play. The stage props were few but these were changed to suit the scene.

I enjoyed this play because it was creative and each scene was quite different yet related to the previous scenes. The play and its actors kept me alert and interested the whole way through. I especially liked the way the actors talked to us and asked our opinion of the play. I hope to see another play in this vein in the near future. Tricia Mortensen.

WHAT IS LIFE?

Laughter; Happiness; Love; so much to live for

As life begins to form so do these qualities. Each person doing her own thing; which brings satisfaction

People rushing from one place to another seem to forget the essence of Life.

are bland and glassy with no expression. His face is like a rounded triangle. All green.

The rest of his face looks like green chipped glass. The only break from the green monotony are two orange

antenae, looking like frail sticks they make him appear bold. In fact he looks almost sinister. His face is rounded

off by a gold line. He has stubby whiskers on his chin.

His body is all a green watery mass. Although he has a

pin-point neck, his body is quite broad. The mist of his slender wings is hardly visible. It, too, is outlined in gold. He has curious lumps on his body, as if he is moulded in green shiny plastic. He is probably very minute and has

been magnified, but he could also be a huge monster.

On a narrow smelly street

Gagling, rushing, swirling over rocks.

With nothing to eat.

Overhead birds sang beautiful tunes to one another. His head was all swollen

Trees that seemed endless in height

From a bashing last night

Towered above me

I never could forget As it gave me such a fright.

Made me feel as if I had been let in on a secret of theirs

He gave me a faint smile

And I felt safe.

Trying to look pleased Forests are lovely

As he ate up his tucker

They provide for me the feeling

With the greatest of ease.

Of security and calmness; I always enjoy the feeling of beauty

Soon he was off

VISIT TO A CHEESE FACTORY

PERFORMANCE OF THE CHOIR OF ST. JOHNS

COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

We have seen many fine artists perform in this past year but few have surpassed the excellence of the choir of St. John's College, Cambridge. The choir, consisting of twelve choral scholars, two organ scholars and sixteen boy choristers, sang a great variety of pieces; from the haun-

ting, plainsong of Whyte's "Christe qui live es" to the Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations". They were beautifully

accompanied by David Hill on a Steinway grand piano. An undergraduate of the college Mr Hill, played for his solo

piece "Rhapsody in G Minor", by Brahms. It was indeed an excellent performance and those members of the school who went were extremely fortunate to hear this great choir. Pam Hanrahan.

In second term all Form Two went on an enjoyable excursion to the Interlands Cheese Factory at Warragul. We had been studying the dairy industry in Geography and Warragul is the centre of the Gippsland dairy-farming district.

We had been divided into two groups. Whilst one group was at the factory the others went to Tarago Dam to study the vegetation and surroundings. The main product made at the factory was Mozzorella cheese. Whilst there we looked through a glass window to

see the cheese-making process. We learnt that the milk is pasteurized, then rennet is added and it is then stored in an opened vat. The whey is drained off, leaving the curds which are placed into a mould thus finishing the process. Then the cheese is packed in plastic and sent to various markets.

Both groups had an enjoyable day. MeitaSoekotjo. Form Two.

ANCIENT TIMES HOUSE

Ancient Times House is the head quarters of the Australian Institute of Archeology and displays artifacts

of the ancient civilizations. All the artifacts have been dug up by archeologists mainly around the Mediterranean area. Most artifacts provide an important source of in-

formation of how man lived and how he progressed in the use of different materials.

And up the hills heaven's wide arch Is glorious with the sun's returning march.

Ancient Times House has many valuable and irreplaceable exhibits, while others are only a replica of the

original. A variety of materials were used to make the articles on display; such as gold, clay, glass and bronze each having a different effect. It was interesting to see the likeness in some of the exhibits compared with things of today. e.g. papytus compared to thin paper or pots to vases. Ancient Times House is interesting as an Institute of Ar-

cheology and as a type of museum where we can learn of

the past. These past civilizations have taught us already with a simple basis which we are developing all the time. Ancient Times House is extremely fascinating and we can learn things we did not know before. Recent findings often demolish a theory prev'ously thought to be true.

Loreto order in 1875. Mother Gonzaga built a beautiful chapel for the children at Mary's Mount. We had the joy of seeing this chapel after our visit to Dawson Street. We

fRarg lE[arh - Ellr Epttrt *int,thrra,1. To approach Mary Ward via her problems seems at first sight to be rather negative; as if to suggest that her life was one unending headache. However let us try to locate the problems she faced and look at her attempts to find a solution. Mary Ward found problems a challenge and her solutions (or lack of them) say more about her than any mere list of achievements.

Undoubtedly her first problem was God. She felt that God was asking her to do something out of the ordinary for her native home England. But the question was; What? At first she responded in a way typical of many girls of her age living in Reformation England. She went to the Continent and joined a contemplative order to pray for England. This was not the answer. She knew with an extraordinary certainty that God wanted some other work from her. The question still remained. Finally after four years of waiting she received an answer. She realised that she and a small group of friends who had followed her to Flanders were to take the rule,

manner of life and apostolic mission of the Jesuits, insofar as it was applicable to women. At this point you could say that God ceased to be a problem to her as she now knew what He wanted from her. Yet in another sense it simply created other problems. You could imagine what they might have been! After the Council of Trent renewed emphasis

had been placed on orthodox religious practice, monastic discipline and on education of the clergy. To most men of her time, especially clerics, Mary Ward's proposals were highly suspect. Her plan to establish a religious order, governed by a female major superior, independent of local ecclesiastical controls was startling enough. When she added that they were not be bound

by cloister or choir, and were to conform their dress and manner of living to the ordinary

custom of the day, this really caused a stir. Her final provision that they were to be available wherever a need arose gave them a flexibility that no other women's religious order had enjoyed

up to this time. Very rapidly her main problem came to be opposition from many influential

men in the church. People who knew her (men included) valued her ideas and appreciated the work that the group was doing but opposition was too strong.

So if God was her first problem and men her second then it could be said that she herself was the third. For most of her life she suffered from ill health although this problem was minor

compared with the inner tension she must have experienced in attempting to be faithful to God and the Church, and to remain faithful to the leaders of the Church who were openly critical of her procedure. When she was finally imprisioned in Munich in 1631 for being a "rebel, schismatic and heretic to the holy Church", her fidelity was tested to the full. Death was near but she preferred to die without the blessing of the Church than recant and reject all she had worked for.

As it turned out she lived for another 12 years under the protection of the Pope. Her pro-

blems were the problems of any innovator - mistrust, rejection, uncertainty. For us today the problems remain and perhaps the most challenging is responding to the vision Mary Ward had for her followers with something of her hopes for the future.

GOSPEL AILIVE I

r -

Form Five's recently have been studying St. Luke's Gospel. They followed this by representing parables and meanings from the gospel in many different ways such as films, songs and slides, which were produced by the girls. These were very enjoyable and helped us relate St. Luke's gospel to our own lives. ST. LUKE MAKES CHRIST REAL TODAY

H.S.C. STRANGER WEEKENDS

Students from H.S.C. have again participated in opFORM FOUR CAMP

The aim of our camp, to think, talk and pray made many of the form think twice about participating in the camp. Despite this, the adventurous 25 who took part found they had no regrets.

Enthusiasm was dampened slightly as we waited for the bus in the pouring rain, but soon we were off in a bus rocking with our youthful (but out of tune) voices. We finally arrived in Blairgowrie, and received the Maris Brothers' house with mixed feelings when we saw the brightly coloured rocks and gnomes dotted around the garden. Inside, our accommodation was very basic and simple - and cold at night.

deepening their spiritual life by attending the inter-school Stranger Weekends held in April, July and November ·of this year. Past pupils, Catherine O'Connell, Rosemary West, Suellen Tomkins and Claire Hunt have contributed much to the success of these weekends.

FORM 1 RETREAT DAY

Father Smith made us think about our attitudes towards

ourselves and other people. He explained the need for us to accept ourselves without trying to change just to suit others.

We began our thinking, talking and praying with "get-

ting to know you" games. Everyone was included in these games; all the teachers and the councillors for our form.

Some of these games were learning of life and the axistence of "warm fuzzies" - the giving of love.

Our eagerness to be helpful was shown when one friend on breakfast duty woke us at 5.00 a.m. thinking it was 8.00 a.m. We took a stroll to the beach before breakfast, then saw a film and discussed the underlying meaning. On Saturday afternoon we went on a "trust walk". The "vic-

tim' was blindfolded and led around the surrounding countryside. Some of us were led into poles, thus causing our trust to be slightly alleviated. These are only a few of the many activities we endeavoured. Everyone enjoyed the camp immensely, and we hope future Form 4's will have one like ours. By Kathy Griffiths and Marcelle Ryan.

H.S.C. CHRISTIAN LIVING DAYS

Early in second term the H.S.C. Christian Living days were held at The Marist Retreat Centre, Macedon. The

days, which were both profitable and enjoyable, were led by Reverend John Honner S.J. and Steve Sinn S.J. who worked with Sr. Jane Kelly, Mrs Anouk Smetana, Sr. Deir-

dre Rofe, Sr. Geraldine Ryan and Mr George Butman. Everyone appreciated the generosity of Vivienne Reed and Margaret Fitzgerald - past pupils of the 1977 H.S.C. - who providedthecooking.

Mrs Berrens spoke about her work with people as a social worker. This helped us understand people not as fortunate as ourselves.

The film, Guiseppino, showed us that every person is important and has something to offer people. It helped us see that we need to make the most of what we have.

THE MARY WARD WING - LIBRARY RESOURCE CENTRE

Years of thought and planning, so largely inspired and led by Sister Beatrice, lie behind the concept of the new Mary Ward Wing. The first trenches were dug early in second term 1977 and these were followed by many months

when building noise and discomfort obtruded unpleasantly into the life of the school. However at last we were reward-

ed when, on April 9th, 1978, the new building was opened

and blessed by the Archbishop, and the full extent of its facilities could be seen and admired by the large gathering of parents and friends.

The new Library is indeed a place of many parts and great riches. From the front entrance with its lighted, glassfronted display case, there stretches a wide expanse of glowing red carpet. Such is the amount of space that three classes can be accommodated at the same time in comfort,

one in the soundproof seminar room, one in the main body of the Library and another group of girls using the twentyfive carrels.

Space was what was lacking in the Library when it was housed on the ground floor, under the Chapel. Space was

lacking for senior girls to work uninterrupted by the noise

of junior classes, space was lacking for video viewing which tended to disrupt other classes; and the collection of

books, magazines, was, to say the least, cramped and not

trudes on other users and the audio-visual materials and

equipment are handsomely housed in their own specially designed area. There is also a librarian's office and a spacious workroom where the new and enthusiastic

Monitors, cover and stamp the endless flow of new books. And so, the new Resource Centre offers a wide range of materials and services, and now with a staff of four, can

offer a system of Overnight Loans and Reserves which allows more equitable sharing of material in high demand. New audio-visual equipment provides copying facilities for cassettes, reels and records, and the advent of Mrs Haas as audio-visual librarian makes possible a much more sophisticated audio-visual service and much more expanded opportunities for using audio-visual materials as an in-

tegral part of the teaching-learning situation. Mrs de Soysa who has also been welcomed to the library staff is organising a Careers Reference Section which will provide a valuable service for senior girls.

An increasingly rich and relevant fiction collection offers possibilities of enjoyment and stimulus at alllevels, as does the ever-increasing collection of non-fiction and audio-visual cassettes and tapes. Altogeher these new and beautiful surroundings with their view of trees from most windows, offers new opportunities for more interesting and enjoyable forms of learning and sharing for every girl in the school.

LORETO FAMILY DAY

In late February, Loreto's Family Day was held in perfect sunny weather on the front lawn. The afternoon began with a very happy and relaxed Eucharist celebrated by Rev. Gerard Healy S.J. from Xavier College. Sister Jude, assisted by members of the orchestra and a small band of singers, led the hymns and music. "Life, Be In It" activities followed for the children and

the adults were invited to join in the wine tasting. The wine had been bottled and labelled for the centenary celebrations. Many of the adults then joined the fun activities with their children. Once the hunger pangs set in, family groups settled down on the lawn for a picnic tea. The children continued with their games and the adults lingered on in the company of friends. As evening came the circle began to break and groups, arms laden with tables and chairs, moved off after a very exhausting but happy day.

A BALLAD OF MANDEVILLE HALL -THE OPENING DAY-

One sunny Sunday in early April, A day for all to remember,

A building full of resources wide Was displayed in all its splendour. CHORUS

Girls, Teachers and Families large Full of excitement and interest.

The afternoon was bright and clear When the crowd began to arrive,

The cars were parked in the streets around, But none were in the drive. CHORUS

For down the drive was a guard of honour Of girls in army blue,

And between the rows the archbishop walked, Up to the building new. CHORUS

TURANA

On the twenty-eighth of February, Father Glasheen, a priest who works at Turana, came to speak to Form Five.

Turana is a reformatory for boys who have been awarded to the state's care. Many of them are not criminals but are boys caught in an environment from which they rarely emerge without some type of police record.

My most vivid impressions of Fr. Glasheen's talk, were

that the boys were like birds shut up in cages so that even if

they were freed, they would fly home to roost. I was deeply affected when Fr. Glasheen spoke about Turana as though

it was just a stepping stone to Pentridge for many of the inmates.

When Father related some funny anecdotes to us, I found I could not laugh as much as I usually would. Why

was this? I did not realise it at the time, but now I can pill-

point the reason. Before I went into the lecture theatre, I did not understand the idea that those boys inside Turana

were really just boys caught in a nightmare. As Fr.' Glasheen joked, I realised just how human and real their situation was, both to themselves and to the people who

care for them.

As to the long-term effects, Fr. Glasheen's talk awoke in me the realisation that people need others to help them. 1 knew that there were people who were prisoners of their

The proud school orchestra did play Two short pieces it's true.

But it and the choir did both provide An air not at all impromptu. CHORUS

THE MAYTIME FAIR

It is a tradition at Mandeville that the Fifth Form

organize the school's stall at the Maytime Fair. We did not want to have items for sale which people did not need, so we made tie-dyed cushions, macrame, and various other goods. Many of the students once again contributed by providing us with the items to sell. These were greatly appreciated by the organisers. Some members of the commit-

school community as merchandise. On the stall were books, magazines, plastic flowers, false teeth, crotcheted

hats, yo-yo's, plastic biscuits and other assorted odds and ends. By two o'clock in the afternoon only three-quarters of the goods had been sold and it seemed that we were not

going to be able to sell everything, so we decided that we should have a lucky dip. At five cents a dip we managed to sell the rest of the merchandise at a profit. There were

many laughs and some funny experiences but the best time came when we counted the money and found that we had raised a grand total of $200. The day was good fun and the charity was a good one, so the outcome was very pleasing.

OPENING OF THE MARY WARD WING

April 9th was a big day in the life of the school as it was the opening and blessing of the new Mary Ward Wing.

Construction began in third term 1977 but our hopes of being able to move in for the start of school 1978 were not realised.

the task of writing the review and am attempting to write an unbiased and interesting account of the play (if the two

can be combined!).

A confident, arrogant Professor Henry Higgins was

played by a marvellous actor, Chris Beale who took on the part with obvious ease. The part of Eliza Doolittle, which

% I

in my opinion would take a great deal of concentration,

was portrayed superbly by Sue Height who appeared to fit the part perfectly. The notorious Marty O'Dowd both looked and sounded as the celebrated Colonel Pickering

should. Jen McCarthy and Laura Hayes played the parts of Mrs Eynsford Hill and Clara Eynsford Hill. Both ac-

tresses displayed a great deal of talent and elegance. The character of Mrs Higgins (a very proper yet witty person) was played by Patrice Murphy whose dynamism added greatly to the performance. The talent of Jenni Cooke, as Mrs Pierce, astounded me. Others who appeared in the performance were; John Russo (Alfred Doolittle) who displayed an amazing portrayal of character, Freddy Eynsford Hill, who the audience no doubt found extremely

entertaining, appeared on stage followed by great roars of

laughter from the audience. Freddy was played by Paul Hicks.

Others who appeared during the performance were;

DANCING CLASS

On the hottest day in February we Form Fours hastily prepared to meet our fate - our first dancing class at St. Kevins. We were "deliriously" happy at the thought - or was it a touch of the sun in that oppressive heat. We crossed a rickety railway bridge and assembled nervously in the lunchroom, enjoying the unexpected luxury

He was, and still is greatly respected and loved by the cast and everyone connected with the play. His gentlemanly actions were admired after the last performance when he

DEBATING

Forms Three to Five. Although the Matrics did not enter a team, thiswasmorethancompensatedforbytheenthusiasm

oftheyoungerforms. Form Three entered six teams. This was a commendable

effort as their activities involved much time given outside J ts«** t®?*

of classroom hours. Encouragement and interest was given to the teams by Sr. Geraldine and Sr. Catherine and occasionally English lessons were devoted to writing essays and providing discussion on the topics themselves. Topics,

both factual and controversial inspired heated argument and interest.

The Form Four students formed themselves into teams, under the guidance of Sr. Geraldine in the Debating Class

whichispartoftheWednesdayProgramme.

Form Five entered two teams and again these six students are to be commended for their iniative and in-

terest as they too undertook this as an extra activity.

Thus many students have been encouraged to take up debating as an extra-curricular activity. The majority who did so have found it a valuable extension to their work in

English as well as providing a programme by which basic skills such as clear-thinking, self expression and argument analysis are practised and improved.

This year Patrice Murphy of Form Five was chosen to be one of the six members of the Victorian Debating Team which represented the state in the National Championships held in Adelaide.

Patrice, as captain of Mandevlle's B Team in the Victoria Schools Competition, was equal best speaker in the B

FORM FIVE AND SIX SOCIAL

At the end of first term the Mandeville Hall Supper Dance was held at the Dorchester in Alexander Avenue. As *A*y.*2 13

this event had been a topical discussion point for some weeks it was well known what each person intended to

FROM THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

In 1959 it was decided to change the existing three houses: St. Gertrude's, St. Michael's, St. Teresa's, to a

four House system, Ward, Barry, Mulhall and Mornane. This was done because of the new awareness of the im-

portance of Inter-House sport and the increase of the number of students in the school. Tennis and Basketball

(now netball) had dominated the sporting scene for many

years along with numerous novelty events on sports day. Athletics were progressing from the picnic stage to one of importance because of the various activities it offered. The Physical Education Department at that time decided to include; Softball, Volleyball, Swimming and, later, Fencing, Hockey, Gymnastics, and Basketball (International Rules).

This expansion, plus the improvement of facilities and equipment, has increased the interest and capabilities of the students. This is evidenced by the school's involvement in world class Skiing and Fencing; the achievements of the Athletics Team in 1977 and 1978 in winning the Victorian State Titles; and, by the fact, that many of the members of the Swimming team were State finalists and bronze medallists. Another noteworthy effort is that the Swimm-

SPORT BASKETBALL

Basketball has grown into a popular sport within the school. There is a group of dedicated Form Fives who train on Tuesdays and Fridays. The number of players has increased as a result of the House matches that are played regularly on Friday at lunchtime. Basketball has also been given a great deal of support by the Form Fours who have

This year Tennis got off to an excellent start with constant practising for the big tournament at 'Royal South Yarra'. The top four pairs from the senior team represented Mandeville but unfortunately the day was cancelled due to weather. To replace the loss of the day, we played against St. Catherine's at a later date. After competing against various schools, Mandeville emerged as the winners in all but one match.

Unfortunately in Winter the team did not get underway, but with Spring approaching both the Senior and Junior teams will be back into action with greater determination

and, hopefully, success.

Our under-fifteen team played various matches showing

great potential through their high standard of play. With

the three new courts enthusiasm and strong interest has continued to grow. Mandeville should be a strong team during the Summer season and we should see success in the future.

All in all, 1978 has shown great participation and reasonably successful results in this particular sport. Robin Midgley

MAGAZINE

. This year, for the first time, "Magazine" was made a Wednesday programme subject. Previously the Matrics were given this task, but this year a team of enthusiastic fifth formers were invited to produce this year's annual.

During the course we have learnt how to set out a page for publishing and the many other techniques needed in the making of such a magazine. TYPING

This useful and worthwhile skill will stand us in good stead in future years and could lead to a successful career. The wide variety of skills taught make the course an interesting and enjoyable one. MADRIGAL GROUP

SOCIAL SERVICE

Each week about thirty of us go and visit people who are handicapped or disadvantaged in some way. These comments reflect what such an experience means to us;

"I have learnt to communicate with other people on a different level and to accept and understand these people and their disabilities. "

"I have discovered that I can really help people by just

being around them and talking to them. These people like to talk and tell you their problems." ETYMOLOGY

As we study the roots and origins of the English language we see the influence of the influx of many other cultures during the early centuries of British History.

Etymology is beneficial to further studies as it gives a better insight into the English language. JUDO

A ceremonious bow is followed by warming up exercises 0

MIND STRETCHING LOGIC

Mind stretching logic is a lesson in achieving the impossible. The class is aimed at stretching your mind in an attempt at logically thinking out various complicated problems. It is frustrating, exhausting and satisfying when you finally, after much effort, achieve success. Under the guidance of Miss Maning, we work out cryptic crosswords and other puzzles, where logical thinking is imperative.

MOTHERCRAFT

Through discussions, films and demonstrations by nurs-

ing mothers, we have gained a clearer insight into the physical and psychological development of children during their first five years. The course brings into focus the responsibilities of parents and teaches us how to cope with

day to day situations as well as emergencies. MUSIC APPRECIATION

This is a year long course specifically for those with prior knowledge of practical music. Through aural exercises, listening periods and other activities where our musical skills are often used, we are given a greater ap\<

preciation of musical styles.

LEATHERCRAFT

This course has enabled us to gain the basic skill and

knowledge of a highly useful and interesting craft. The techniques we have acquired are used to make a variety of articles requiring varying degrees of proficiency.

CHESS

Chess is the real THINK. We learn the basic principles

as well as some of the finer points of this ancient game. The duel of wits is a very stimulating experience. FENCING

Fencing is a sport which can be used not only as a form

19 ...

of relieving frustration, but as an art, requiring skill and fast mental reflexes. Physical movements must be co-

ordinated with prior tactical judgement. It is not likely that

fencing shall ever be practised by the masses, as it is such a

disciplined activity which requires, if you are to be a serious student, a great deal of concentration and practice. HOSTESS COOKERY

Mandeville's Senior School Choir has enjoyed a year of musical development and has participated in a variety of school and competitive events.

Our year got off to a busy start with rehearsals for Miss Deborah Randles' wedding which was held in early March. In preparing for the Mass we were able to discover the profound and beautiful element that exists in the sacred works OAK PARLOUR MUSICALES

of Mozart and Franck. Our next performance of major

The Musicales again this year provided our musicians with valuable performing experience in the informal setting of the Oak Parlour. Four concerts were held during the course of the year on Friday evenings at which girls from the Junior and Senior School presented a variety of

significance was at the opening of the new school complex at which we sang a fanfare accompanied by two resonant

items.

Recorder groups and talented young piano, violin and clarinet soloists competently represented the Junior School and it became obvious that these young people have im-

mense talents to offer the school over the coming years. Musicians from the Senior School played solo items and performed in violin duos, mixed instrumental ensembles, madrigal groups and the chamber orchestra. The evenings concluded with a light supper which provided performers and the audience with a chance to socialize. We extend special thanks to the host and hostess of the evenings, Peter and Lorraine Walker. The musicians of the school were very fortunate to have been provided with the unique experience of performing, which is an essential and often neglected element of musicianship.

trumpets. On July 12, fully attired in our new choir uniforms, we performed in the annual school concert at Robert Blackwood Hall. It was a rather nerve racking experience performing in a hall whose acoustical properties

gave you the awful feeling that you were singing a shaky solo. Mrs Andrews entered the choir in the Ringwood Eisteddfod and the South Street Competition in Ballarat in an attempt to provide us with performing experience and to present us with an event to work towards.

Our membership remained at thirty-eight, with the majority (or soprano section) coming from the First, Second and Third Forms. Our claim to fame, however, has been

directly due to the competent and brilliant nature of our fifth form alto section (?).

All praise must be expressed to Mrs Andrews for her skilled and dedicated training throughout the year in her

pursuit of bringing pleasure to our practical musical experience.

PRODUCTION

THE CENTENARY PIANO RECITAL

On Monday, July 3rd, a piano recital by Sr. Carina Flaherty was held at the school. Playing on the recently acquired Steinway Grand Piano Sr. Carina capably demonstrated her fine technical abilities as well as her

eaptivating, musical manner heightened by a disciplined, dramatic effect. Following this brilliant keyboard piece was the much loved Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. In capturing the numerous and contrasting moods Sr. Carina conveyed the emotive elements of this famed sonata to her appreciative audience. In the Chopin Nocturne and Scherzo Sr. Carina competently displayed her polished technical achievements. The concert ended with three pieces by Debussy. The abstract element and the varying musical textures added an interesting flavour to the performance. A light supper was served in the front rooms of the house at the end of the recital. Thanks must be extended to Mrs Roma Randles and her committee of enthusiastic

parents for the extraordinarily excellent nature of every organizational aspect.

"THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE"

The school production for '78 was "The Pirates of Penzance", the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. The girls participating were from Forms Four and Five, as part of the Wednesday Programme, and also Forms One, Two and Three.

This well known opera traces the mad antics of a group

%/1

of fearsome yet gentle pirates, and the outstandingly numerous female wards of Major General Stanley. When they meet en masse, aided by the constabulary, a chaotic situation occurs. At rehearsals some amusement was the result of the

earnest efforts of the taller (though by no means less feminine) members of the cast to act like swearing, boisterous pirates, and even more difficult, like stern, stiffupper-lipped policemen. While some revelled in the challenge, others stood enviously watching their shorter sisters fluttering prettily about as gentle maidens, secretly wishing that someone had used that weighted brick, before

they grew so tall. 4

The principals in the production were Patrice Murphy, Sue Height, Maureen O'Shaughnessy, Gabrielle McKin-

. /*4

non, Joanna Dale, Marie-Louise Walker, Genny Costigan, Katie Burke, Fiona Brittain and Jenny Cooke. Their hard work and dedicated acting was much appreciated by a large audience, attending over two nights, the venue once

again the Alexander Theatre, Monash. Sue Saxon directed the production, with valuable assistance from Mrs Andrews and Mrs Elliott. The or-

chestra was conducted by Mr Blake. .8

Congratulations to all who participated in "Pirates": its

success was obvious and the enjoyment surrounding those connected with it even more so.

This has been a very rewarding year for me as President,

and to be present at well attended functions was a great

pleasure. In the first term our Luncheon and Fashion Parade at

the Hilton Hotel was a great success, and a profit of $1600 was raised.

During the second term class luncheons and morning

coffee parties were held for all forms throughout the school. My thanks to all mothers who lent their homes and

to all class captains who arranged them. Also in second term we had a successful luncheon at Lazars.

The dinner dance was held at the Southern Cross

Ballroom on Friday the 27th of October. This was an enjoyable evening.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Ginnies for organising the tuckshop so efficiently, and to all mothers who gave their time to this service. Also to Mrs

Mott who ran the Swap Shop for the past two years, we offer our grateful thanks.

To Sister Beatrice, Sister Jane, and Sister Teresa, I

would like to express my sincere thanks for their continued interest and guidance in my year of office.

FAREWELL

I am very sorry I have to leave Loreto and all my good friends here, but there comes a time when we all have to go. One of my very happy times was when I made my First

Communion and a couple of days later we went to the park

THE MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

On Tuesday, April 4, the Grade 5 and 6 classes went to a

concert given by The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the Melbourne Town Hall. The conductor was Leonard

Dommett and the music they played for us was:

MY FRIEND

Overture for Percussion.

My friend has small blue eyes and long eyelashes with a

ferent shape when she talks. Her hair is straight and dark blonde and just touches her shoulders. It is neatly tied back in pigtails with lovely long blue ribbons that drag along her shoulders. My friend is a calm person and is quite shy.

Elizabethan Suite.

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Musical Snuff Box.

Seventy six Trombones.

Anne Marie Ward.

Sometimes the conductor would ask the audience if

anyone played a particular instrument and would invite the child up on to the stage.

I liked the concert because there were so many different instruments I had not seen or heard before. I thought the music was beautiful because you could feel it flowing

through you. My favourite piece was "The Comedians" because it was so lively. Becky Wright.

IT WAS ALL A DREAM

I had just had a swim in the blue sea When I saw a big

black balloon bobbing up and down on the water and looking at the seaweed carpet on the ocean floor. With two large eyes which were painted on him and the broadest red smile a balloon could possibly have, he was able to see and smile at everything. Turning around I saw that now the black balloon had been washed up onto the golden sand. I ran quickly over to it and was about to pick it up when it opened its mouth as if inviting me to walk in. I started to run in the opposite direction but before I had gone a few metres he had his mouth over me forcing me to walk in. The first thing I saw made me very happy for after I had walked down a eurly red path which was B.B's tongue, I saw a bright blue couch, a yellow and red bed and a small black balloon named Bert. He informed me that his mother would take us back to their home and that the

itai-101

journey would take an hour. Unfortunately we would not be able to see all the wonderful things we passed on the way because his mother had no window in her.

Suddenly I was on the beach again and Mum was shaking me. The black balloon with the blue eyes and red smile Back Row: Maria Meldrum, Clare Armstrong, Sophie O'Shaughnessy, EmmaDuffy. Front Row: Elise De Forest, Melissa Rice, Kate Turner.

THE DANCING BALLET SHOE I am a ballet shoe.

I live in the grade four gold classroom. I am an irregular shape that looks like a little girl's foot. But: one night when I was left in the classroom and everyone had gone home, I started dancing all over the classroom with my graceful leap, I loved it. I didn't really

want to belong to the little girl anymore, so I jumped so high that I jumped out of the window, then I hopped and danced out of the school.

1 went into the street and looked at everything. It was so good to be free and there were so many good things to see.

I hopped onto the road and just sat resting peacefully, and all at once a car came. I was so exhausted that I couldn't

get away. It must have been the end for me, I was so scared. Then the car ran over me. I was dead.

RABBIT CHASE

% %

This is a story about a baby rabbit, me. My name is Whitey and I live in a corn field. One bright, sunny day I heard a rumbling noise in the distance. It was becoming louder, then suddenly over the hilltop I saw a great big, huge monster coming very quickly towards me. I stood frozen to the spot for a moment, and then I ran and ran towards the hedge, with the monster

coming behind me all the way. I felt terrified, but I kept on

going.
