Fleur de Lys 1980

Editorial in June 1907, Franc Carse and A.W. Allen Leeper, the editors of the first formal Fleur de Lys, wrote that they hoped that a College magazine would become a vehicle for the students' criticisms and reflections on College life, and other pertinent events.

These first editors stressed the importance of continuity in College life, while "not forgetting the claims of an older generation".

We see the magazine as being a manifestation of such a sense of continuity - witnessing the constant emergence and formation of traditions and values.

This year we celebrated the 50th anniver sary of the Juttoddie Cup, an initiation ceremony devised in 1931 by two Collegiates, Juttner and Oddie . Dr. Colin Juttner returned this year to present the cup, and L to R: Caro line Pizzey, St phen Hall, Harry Gill , Tracey Kirby and Margie Moroney

remarked that although the physical appearance of the College had changed dramatically (the Âąences and the cows having gone years ago!) the atmosphere was unmistakable, the same feverish excitement had been present at the first running of the race . He was delighted to see that the race of 1931 had become an annual institution.

With this example in mind, we see the role of the magazine extending beyond cricket scores and debating results - it should he able to acknowledge Trinity's progress, to see one particular year's significance amongst decades of others. Therefore, the Fleur de Lys should not only be significant in the year of its publication, but should also become one of a continuing series - we hope the 1980 edition meets these standards.

: Ill RThe Warden One of my habitual sayings is that "a College is not a clinic, or a youth camp, or a boarding school. It is something quite different from any of these". This issue of Fleur-de-Lys gives me a chance to elaborate.

It may surprise College members that I need to stress that a College is not a clinic or hospital. The remark is addressed rather to those, whether students or parents who believe that we have a moral duty to take in people who are in an emotionally or psychologically fragile state . My observation is that we are not equipped to be really helpful. One of the most heartwarming things about Trinity is our students' care for one another. Yet there are clearly limits as to how far a disturbed person can be allowed to impose on the generosity and time of other people.

College is a wonderful time for sorting oneself out, for getting priorities straight, and for coming to terms with one's strengths and weaknesses. It is, however, a demanding place, best suited to the naturally resilient.

If the remark about not being a clinic is addressed to a few, the assertion that we are not a youth camp is addressed to a much larger group. One of the greatest pleasures of being in c ¡ollege, is getting together with other people.

Young people, of the kind we tend to seek, are naturally exuberant and, when it comes to authority figures, a little rebellious. Friends and companions exert a tremendous pressure, which some find irresistible. I have been struck in recent weeks by the surprisingly large number who left at the end of the second term. It was not that they didn 't like Trinity. Far from it! It was just that they wanted to work harder, but found it too hard to disappoint the gregarious expectations of their friends. "Once I've got my work habit established and have broken the cycle, I hope I'll be able to come back . I think it's a fantastic place."

Another sign of a youth camp mentality is that College buildings are treated with contempt - banging doors, kicking balls along corridors, walking in with muddy football boots. So far as I know, Trinity students have not gone on rampages in other Colleges, but we have suffered from a number of raids ourselves. I'm proud of the efforts of Mike Fullerton as Senior Student and the T.C.A.C. Committee to build links with other College Student Clubs to bring this expensive kind of game to an end. What we now need is a proper recognition of the gentler and more cooperative virtues, courtesy and consideration for others, without losing our vigour and enthusiasm.

I suppose the next point, that we are not a boarding school, is addressed primarily to myself, to the Dean, and to the tutors in our attitude towards students. Students do, however, need to understand Trinity's philosophy in ths matter (and so do parents). I personally believe strongly that one learns responsibility best by exercising it . College students are entering adult life and it is not appropriate for them to look to the Warden and the Dean to keep themselves and their friends in order. No one who has ever played seriously in a sporting team thinks that much can be achieved without discipline. As in sport, so in life. Self-discipline is the only worthwhile kid in the long run.

The Dean and the Warden are, of course, ready to step in if things go wrong, and the rights of others are being trampled on. We recognize that we all make mistakes, and we do not like sitting in judgement upon people whom we regard as fellow members of the same Collegiate community. Our main task is to help, to encourage, to facilitate, and to reconcile differences. The Senior Student's address, printed elsewhere in this issue, encouraged me greatly - not least because this vital point was so firmly understood .

So what then is a College? Trinity w11lbe what we make it . But I hope that it will always be based on a philosophy - the roots of which spring directly from the Christian gospel - which teaches that the ultimately happy and worthwhile life is one based on service of others. Our growing Community Outreach Programme gives me great hope.

And as an academic community, I hope we shall also keep in mind the importance of intellectual stimulation and enquiry. "The honest search for truth in co-operation with others" may sound like a cliche. For me, it is a value which marks off a College from all other residential institutions. May we be worthy of our tradition and our inheritance.

WIGRAMALLEN'79&80 "MrEliot Remembers.... " On returning from a recent archeological dig in south -western Persia, I was confronted with a thorny problem of what to do with a singular and perplexing find. This was not your ordinary piece of broken pottery, fractured pocula, amphorae, or that minute fragment of Alexandrian underwear - destined to illumine yet another Callimachean poem in one of the learned journals.

No, this was altogether quite different.

As we were excavating in the blistering heat of the Isl ami c sun, we came across a small leather box quit e unlik e anything which had been encountered hitherto. A certain excit ement thickened the musty atmosph re as the desiccated artefact was removed. Th ere was no lock; only a loosely tied leather strap which fell into dry, un even strands ' when I gingerly tried to untie it. Insid e was not the priceless find which we so hop ed for; not even some broken earthenware to reward our gains, inst ead, dusty but still neatly roll ed, was a reel of old fashioned recording tape.

Instantly , the world started to swim, the heat grew int enser, and the flashing lights and warning bells chimed in one accord: "Anachronism! Anachronism!"

Now this would not do. Not at all. Recollecting my scholarly sensibilities, I checked the early model tape recorder I happen to have in my possession, and sat down, brushing the squadrons of desert flies away with a nonchalant cut with the topie, to listen to the contents of this strangely misplaced tape .

I ought to exp lain at this point that I am not a lit era ry man. Can't stand the stuff actually; and in any case an iambic pentameter does tend to look like a trocheic septenarius in the seering heat of an Iranian summer's day. Be that as it may; I jotted down what I found on the tape - what on earth it was doing there I still do not know - and it seems to possess certain literary qualities, identifi ed by the cognoscenti with T.S. Eliot, probably known to some of you as the author of "Murder in the Waste Land " and other shows. The probl em is that the int ernal evidenc e of the monologue does not tally at all well with the known biographical facts of Mr Eliot's career, nor with some strangely 'cont em porary ' cross-references and allusions which the poem - if it is a poem - makes. (Like many ancient laundry lists, it appears to be in blank verse).

This is how it went:

In th e room the women come and go Talking of the Don Lane Show.

• • • So her e, sir, you see the life I leaci In droplet s, day by day.

Drops like some inarti culat e tramp Whose syllables curl in tired lumps Amongst the gutters dust; or a child Who stamps her foot - and st utt ers out some Temperamental fault he find s with Every suggestion that you utter.

But forgive this melancholy turn.

(I hav e basted in literary sour ces, A scholarly 'coq-au -vin', A philological vitamizer That has rusted through an d through.)

6

And though you see me here, Amidst the mouldy lett uce-leaves, The musty compost purlieus, · Th e mind can sieve and potter, Ta ste its rustic pleasure ; And chloroform ed on cabbage leaves Can totter back to life behind the blinds: The vacuum-cleaned living-room s of ch int z And tasteful prints.

Do not tal k of my ambit ions (Or volition For that matt er).

I have seen it rise a liLtle from amid the boring chr1LLe r, Do a cleft pirouette, Th n fall, congealed, Lo spatt er A s rvi ette.

Amid ha lf-eaten sa ndw iches, and lukewarm Cups of tea, that pool of inspirat ion has dried up: The tree has withered in the ground : consumed, Burnt - though wit h ju st a litt le smoke.

It fused quickly wit h the grey in g sky, More like the fleeti ng curl icue of smoke From a dying cigarette as it's stifled By a shoe.

II But then, you say, that you have met my wife?

She observes the sacred r ites of pride, (Those things you cannot chide, you know; they serve To hide a wrinkle, to plaster up a fau lt).

No; tis our love's been beaten thin by drops; Corroded by ... - how can I say quite what?

Grew midd le-aged and tired; fa ltered; then Expired, like the ceas ing of a chant.

It left a little vacuum when it went, But that was quickly filled with potted plants .

III And as we walk at dusk upon the beach, Watch the flight of seagulls rise to drink The failing sun upon their wings; flutter Like handfuls of confetti thrown towards The sky - then sink beyond the jetty. I see The gaudy tourists wander up and down, Amb le up towards the town, Whose milky irridescence Throbs aga inst the membrane of the sky .

I sit alone these nights and in The wine-dark sea, try to perceive some blue Furrow there beyond, whose path denies The fever and the fret, The sighs of false regret, And seni le obsolescence.

(But, please sit, I'm yet finis hed).

Have we who go at dusk to watc h the coloured Bust le of the crowd, have we been left Forsaken unaware ? 'Why, no' - you say : Then what have we done - this empty husk, these cant Grey hairs . ..

Yet I have heard the fina l trumpet,

If ever fa in t; and sitti ng in my ar mchair, By the fire, I've heard the first ligh t roar in gs Of that judg ment day ratt le and Doulton Chin a on the shelf; have heard the fir st Light tric kle of the ra in of blood and fire Hiss amongst t he ashes of my heart h , Hav felt the eyelids closing to the ligh t, And I was glad.

Afternoon TeaOn

Thursday

Melva Johnston eased the step-ins away from the spreading mi ddl e-aged flesh that her jersey dress made a half-h earte d attempt to concea l. She and her frie nd Bev Wilde had been meeting for afternoon tea on Thursday s now for nearly twenty years int er rupt ed only by births an d deaths. Today's meeting was rea lly the same as most others. Nothing new to report and t h e conv ersation was only a retellil!g of the stories of the sales and cafeteria lun ches in department stores .

The two women had even given up exchanging recipes for they were at the stage of life when cooking holds little fascination; besides their husbands preferred plain cooking - Melva's because of his hernia and Bev's because he was a plain man and that sort of cookin g suit ed his persona lity.

Together Bev and Melva had been through many exper ienc es : childbi rth, r edecorat in g, kiddies at school, death of parents (prematurely in Melva's case because of a road accicent) , the promotion of hu sbands, family cars and pets.

Just af ter the war Ray's Hill had bee n opene d up for soldier settlement and Bev and her husband and Melva and hers were amongst the first to buy and build. They both had had lovely weddings with frangip-ani, and tull e and delustred satin and bridesmaids, trousseaus with milk-jug covers and embroi dered nighties and hon eymoon s in Sydney. Then they moved to Ray's Hill.

Th ere wer e no mad e roads then, or any sanitary system. But it was just afte r th e war and eve ryone had to expe rien ce a littl e har dship to ato ne for the r eported horrors of far away batt lefi elds and justic e. The hou ses wer e undistinguish ed architecturally, although Melva 's had a larg e pin e tree that had been in the garden of the big hou se that had been on top of Ra y's Hill befor e the sub-division.

"Melv, do you rem emb er wh en the kiddi es used to play on th e verandah?" Bev bega n longingly. "What a long time ago it see ms ".

Her fri end rem emb er ed her figur e at th e time of the kiddies and agreed, "What a long time ago".

Helping hers elf to another pik elet smothered in margarin e, Bev bega n again. "Do you ever hear from young Way ne?" and waited for Melv to divul ge the lat es t.

"Only now and aga in ", she sa id. "Wh en he left hom e he left no promises that he would be in touch . H occasionally as ks for mon ey and somet im es I send him some. It is aga in st my better jud gem ent but you don 't lik e to think of your kid s in th e hand s of the police, do you?"

8

"No, s'pose not", Bev said, but unconvincingly because she and George h ad not been 'blessed with kiddies' as sh e put it. Art hu r, Melva's hu sband, used to remark coarsely that they didn't know how to do it, but that wore thin after h e lost interest in Melva .

"And how 's Janine?" Bev began again. "You kn ow, I can see her and yo un g Wayne with all my pots out playing on the verandah . Hasn't she come on in the la st few years!"

It was true she had com e on. She wor ked as a typist in a solicitor' s office in the city. Melva sometim es wondered why she lived at hom e.

"She's very well", Melva answ ered, "and doing well at work . Last week she bought a new coat. Lemon colour ed wool. To go with h er whit e boot s. You know , for best . Sh e's onl y eight een but she looks such a young lady. She's always been her father's dau ght er, eve r since she was born r eally . And I s'pose Way ne was my favourite.

Although yo u r ea lly shouldn 't hav E favourites I s'pose", she conf essed. "Sti ll I can't complain. Arthur has been very good in the hou se. You know , sometimes wh en I go hom e from here on Thursdays he's chang ed the beds and got th e washing on. And wh en the kiddi es wer e tiny he'd often bath them and r ea d to them. Ev en th en J anin e was hi s favourite."

Her fri end int er rupt ed the r ambl e she had heard befor e, "Mor e tea dear? " "Oh , just half a cup , Bev".

Bev poured the stro ng tea that they both drank with milk and sugar from the britt le cup s with ringing saucers. In fact, the sa m e cups, plates an d sa ucers werE¡ used eve ry Thu rs day. Bev's had violets on it and Melva's was flut ed and cl cor a ted with a border of mini at ur e swee t peas in colour s th at were most ly inoff en sive.

"I always thin k it's wonderful the way these cups hav e lasted", Melva ventured, crashing her spoon around on her saucer . "But then, of course, you haven't had kiddi es. Kiddies make such a difference to a hom e.

I was afraid to start with but, you know, it's quite natural. Of course we've had our ups and downs.

Young Wayn e leaving like he did was a bit of a shock but you settle down again soon, don't you?" She clut ched at th e air with the words hoping for support.

But it wasn¡t forthcoming. Bev was sulking about her childless marriag e and her boorish husband.

All of a sudden the loung e seemed to drown the two women in a sea of olive green shantung and wallpap er.

"Oh, it 's been lovely ", gasped Melva, coming up for air.

"It always is you know . It's an outing really, and you alway s make such lovely pik elets" . She was now scrabbling through her handbag searching for mor e amm unition to throw at her childl ess friend.

"St ill all good things com e to an end", she chimed along with the eight day clock on th e mant le.

"Do you want to go to t he sale on Monday? I don 't really want anyt hing but there might be some bargains and we could h P.ve lunch an <l come h()TYl.e on the bus" .

And so it was arranged - eight thirty on Monday mornin g for the sal e.

Melva left the hous e of her friend and made her way along George Parade and int o Tunisia Crescent where she waited for the bus. Years ago, before there was a bus an d made ro ads, she would walk h ome with Way ne in a pusher and Janine at hand, but now th ere was a bus and the convenience was wonderful. As she sat in the bus she lt er sh e eased th e shoes on her feet and crossed her ank les und er her. Arthur would be hom e.

Thursday was his early shift day, and so would J anin e.

She h ad every second Thursday off. Perhaps they h ad the tea ready. As t hey never had before it was unlik ely. Anyway, she had prepared a nice brais e with the car rot s in it .

Over the years the land scape of the suburb s h ad changed. When they had moved here there was littl e more than dirt tracks and a few hou ses. Now the cit y had ca ught up with Ray's Hill and the saw -toot h roofs of the factor ies had ripped their way across the suburb s and left the 'H ill' behind . Still, it' s progr ess, she thou ght and adjusted a fold in the sk irt of her dress.

"Hullo Mrs Johnston. You going home?' Th e bus had come early . Melva came abruptly out of her reve ri e.

The air was hea vy and there was that strange clear :lark light that pr ecedes a storm. "Yes I am", she said handin g the chang e for her fare. "How are your kiddies? Doin g well". Sh e both as ked and answered. "A young family is nice, isn't it? " And .she thought of talcum powder, and junio r tutus and fir st footy boots.

The cloud s gat here d like great black sheep waiting to be div este d of their ri ches and th e bus turn ed the nice corn ers, past hom es and shop s and up Hi gh Street to Ray's Hi ll.

Melva was feeling cont ent. Thursd ay arvos always lef t her feeling slightly euphoric. She nev er knew wheth er it was the reminiscences or the strong tea that had drugg ed her. Even the fact that she and her husband only shared the hous e didn't concern her. Sh e had got used to that . Anyway , th e active life r eally was for the young.

Ther e was her stop.

"Bye bye Sam", she said as she alighted . "It's been nice talking to you". Sam threw the bus into a grinding first gear and shuddered off up the hill.

Melva's feet were beginning to feel tired , She had had th e bone shoes on for a few hours now and they had always pinched. Bev had talked her into them at a sale a few summers ago. Sti ll, th ere was plenty of wear in them and the fashion hadn 't changed that much.

Not that you'd want to be wear ing what the young were wear ing. Melva was a respectable matron who 'd done h er best.

She pushed at the gate anud walked up th e side path aro und to the back. Th e pin e tree stood out in sharp sombre relief aga inst the dark clouds and the light was piercingly clear. As she sat on the seat und er the tree she reme mb ere d the summer nights of cold lamb and salad she and Arthur had when they were first marr ied . Home-made mayonaisse and th e beetroot bleeding through the shredde d lett uce. Sometimes after tea Arthur and she wou ld come out and sit here under the great tree and plan for the future.

Today sh e sat at the centre of the world. Comforting herself with memories of conversatio ns, and mornays of tinned asparag us and melted cheese.

Arthur was hom e. The car was in th e garage. And Janine was hom e too . Melva could hear the television in the loung e. "I'd better go and warm up the braise", he said to her self. She picked up the bon e shoes she had kicked off and the bag that lay beside her on the seat and went through the back door turning once to look at the pregnant sky and for her pains had her soul stabbed by the ligh t . The air was vibrant waiting for the stor m.

She went through t he vestib ule, it used to be a verandah but it h ad been modernized in one of the redecoratings, and then in to the passage and opened the door of her bedro om thinking of her slippers and freedom from her step-ins .

She snap ped on the flu oresce nt circl e and in the mom ent befor e it came on the sto rm brok e. Lightning raced in at the windows and lit the room, r evea ling the hid eous truth of her lif e - the thund er growled its discontent and th e water pour ed down like a bapti sm gone beserk.

"J esus !" she shrieked.

"Christ! " she heard Arthur respond, and wh en J anin e's face app eared from und er Arthur's body all she could say was "Hullo Mum".

Revue

'79

Darnen und Herren; Messieurs, Mesdames; Ladies and Gentlemen, that was the razzle-dazzle, toetapping, all-singing, all -dancing, Arbeit-macht-frei Trinity College Revue for 19791" As may be inferred from the blurb the Revue was intended to infuse a certain expressionist cabaret flavour into the Dining Hall in the third week of third term. A conscious effort was made in the overall design of the show to suggest a touch of Nuremburg and an overlay of 1930s German cabaret with large panels of red, black and silver completely covering the High Table end of Hall. Following on from the sleazy French cafe idea of the year before, the cabaret idea allowed the waiters and waitresses to take on an hermaphroditic aspect - the ostensibly female of the crew, Noddy Ward, Angie May, Cynthia Glen and Ginny Gutteridge were in black suits and ties, stilettos and white faces, black lips and tied-back hair, and the bar 'men' in drag and tacky vinyl - names like Bain and Billson are known to remember the occasion with a nervous laugh.

Bad taste approached an art form . In a war-movie German accent comperes Macindoe and Williams bantered through routines about as funny as a Bill of Lading to Dachau. "We do not threaten here in Trinity, you know ... the pressure of public opinion is usually quite sufficient".

There was the bright, the brilliant, and the offcolour: leading the Bill was Michael Fullerton's live rendition of Pekkkobalm, then John Adamson's pastiche of the styles of the great Western composers of 1850, "variations on Colonel Bogey on Parade", (K.8, 942, 376) brought hilarious recognition. Scripts had come from everywhere in the hectic two-week preparation period and ideas for songs were exploited unmercifully. Highlights catered for all sorts of tastes and anti-tastes. The infamous Merkin Singers (Nick Stretch, Rod Saunders, Andrew Cole and Steve Harper) gave the well -known barrack-room ballad "Jane Morgan" a new lease of life in a beautifully produced four-part harmony that brought the house down. Then there were other clever offerings. The Geoff Fox magic, The Senior Student's interview with his very own freshette, several scripts performed previously at the University done by Mark Williams, Tom Gutteridge, and Vivienne Corcoran; and Tom's stirring ballad "The Scout Master's Lament", which was performed before a surly chorus line of bulging scouts. Then Tom Leihrer's immoral classic, "The Vatican Rag", finished the first half with about half the female population of College dressed, strangely enough, as nuns bringing Pope Schismasticus XXIV bare-faced on a bier. That moment in blue light and incense, chanting and cigarette smoke as the people entered was impressive.

The second half benefited from a responsive audience - in fact the response indicated that the audience component was rapidly getting out of it altogether. The temperature inside Hall increased,the pace quickened, the second half began with the Horst Wessel Song for Trinity 1979, the Trolley Song by Michael Fullerton.

Fully togged rugby players suddenly appeared and with reckless disregard for the sound system joyfully and gaily shoved the grand piano across the stage to perform their "Twelve Weeks of Rugby Injuries" which had the audience thirsting for more. Naughton'swere sold out of flagon white as a result.

11

A momentary respite with a low ke y comedy pi e ce was followed by the advent of wh at had become for the night the "Mike Fullerton Band" who a ccompanied the deep throats of Delv ene, Raelene, Terylene and Sibyl Gross as The Not-So -Tempting Extremes through a bracket of modified, revue-version Diana Ross songs. Bump and grind is only half of what was going on and the audience was just about ready to get up and dance as Andrew Lyle appeared, following the best of family traditions, for a riveting and superenergetic performance as Elvis Presley . By now the audience really were up and dancing and the band, as they sav, played on.

The band finished and the ~trains of piped music came over the PA, and after a slight altercation in the Prompt corner the music resolved itself into "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" from the film "Cabaret" and a Storm Trooper dressed as Andrew Cannon reeled across the stage: the effect on the audience was revealingly mixed. The point was made, the music ended, people fell into one another's arms and danced to Liza Minelli's theme tune. The band played an encore, the house lights went up and the stage was taken down. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves .

The 1979 Revue attempted to mould together the undeniable talent which abounded in a lot of fields into some sort of coherent package as well as just trying to get one act to follow another with a minimum of delay . The crew of Roger Brayshaw, Jim Royston, Doug Taupin, Chris Bell, Ted Salter and Helen de Pury managed to get the set together and turn the lights off and on in a manner unknown to other university thespians . Don and the College staff and Tony Bailey at Strand Electric deserve thanks for their help - it's only twelve months late after all - but as they say : 'ti! you all achieve your final solution, Aul Wiedersehn!

Outreach The year of 1980 saw the birth of the Outreach programme, or T.C.O .P . as it is becoming known .

Cricket, drama, rugby and debating, to name a few, are all parts of College life . The benefits that are accrued by both their adherents and the College are easy to describe - but what of Outreach? The aims and the r2 ison d'etre for a programme such as OutrPach were discussed and discussed again by those interested throughout first term. 1t was suggested that through participation in the programme, College members could gain new insights and skills. Some saw the programme as a medium through which to help other people . Others saw participation in the programme as being a willingness to identify and fulfill some need in the community.

From tentative discussions initiated by the Dean, Dr . Deschamp, the administrative structure took shape, likely activities were investigated and in some cases begun, and a constitution was drafted and redrafted by members of the founding committee.

It is envisaged that College membPrs will be able to develop their own programmes as to join programmes and scher:ies already serving the community. There are plans underway to start an after-school centre for primary school children from Housing Commission flats.

One student joined the Home Tutor Service. She attended several seminars given by the Department of Etnic Affairs, received a teaching kit and then was assigned to a Russian immigrant family to help them gain proficiency in English. I am told that the family is very eager to learn and that Russian pastries are superb!

Several of us have taken books from the Hear -ABook Service which provides tapes to the blind. The contents of the book are read onto th(:) tape. Most of the books are very light reading but I suspect that most of us would have to admit to the reading of a thriller on at least one occasion in the past!

The creation of the programme was greatly assisted

by Mr. Max Duman who is experienced in the field of community services and the development of programmes such as ours. Above all stands the work of Jano Simpson who planned, investigated, listened, discussed and planned again and without whom the Outreach programme would still be "just a nother good idea" .

S.C.R. This year has seen another large turnover of tutors but the members we have lost have been replaced by equally fine and capable people. At the end of last year we saw the departure of Dr . John Davis, the former Dean, who after having enjoyed College for some time decided it was time for a change. Mr. James Ferry who served us well as president of the S .C.R. left to concentrate more on gaining a law degree part-time while employed. Anna Cass. after gaining her Ph .D. in Physics has gone to work m the U.S.A. on post-doctoral research. Jim Butler departed after a number of years in College, first as an undergraduate and then as classics tutor. Rod P~illips our resident medical tutor has gone a-doctoring m Papua New Guinea for a while, and Libby Robin found marriage to Tom Griffiths at the end of first term more inviting than life in College Rod McDougall who only began ~his year, has gone teaching in .Queensland.

Graham McEwen, tutor in law, left durmg the year, but Wayne Toohey, a new tutor, remains as resident law tutor.

Jeff Trahair's marriage to Christine Martin brought us a music tutor while Jeff still gives tutes in Histology.

Mary Perrett, Greg Robinson, and Jenni McDonald have also joined the S .C .R. and the late appointmment of Rod Barnard to the position of resident mathematics tutor for third term is another addition .

Besides the comings and goings of tutors, we have had a number of academic visitors to the S .C.R. Professor Alex Muller from Geneva University has been carrying out research into Salt Tolerance at the Howard Florey Institute. In second term, the visit of Professor Sam Westfall, an expert on Isaac Newton, proved interesting and stimulating.

We have instituted a graduates' night where resident graduates are invited to dine at high table this year it is every Thursday.

The S.C .R. has become a little more comfortable as time goes by with the addition of accessories for the fireplace and a T.V. The work of Rosemary Grabau, our honorary treasurer., must be commended for keeping us financially organised. While the S.C.R. on the whole has had an enjoyable year, we look forward to 1981.

first term impressions An empty room. No more than empty: forebodingly bare . Four green (bilious) walls not merely waiting, but demanding, to be filled and animated and owned by talk, trivia and time.

Outsid e, corridor conversations between unknown voices soon, perhaps to be coupled with face , name personality?

A hall, resonant with chatter and clatt er. The unmistakable (and no less forgettable) sensation of ritual; not only the larger number of participants, but also the apparently accepted method of participation.

Benedictus something or other - Amen; and the pelting of spoon on wood . ("The Glittering Prizes" was never like this). My surprise is, I suppose, equally surprising.

A river: and a grassy slope wnsumed by people who are in turn absorbed in sunlight. The easy grace of the boat belies the strength and pain one imagines in its crew - true empathy becomes a difficult task as one stands on the riv er bank taking in the warmth of an Autumn afternoon and a can of ale. Victory and nearhysteria (I don't remember which came first): the pub afterwards. Loud, simple, to-the-point, effective and very frequent pan tifications and choruses about the relative merits of Trinity and Ormond, more often than not delivered from atop the centre bar. Dinner, and . the rest of the night lack nothing of this atmosphere.

A hall - the same as before? - except ritual has given way to formality. Concoctions one has heard of, but never drunk befor e (and, with the wisdom afforded by hindsight, perhaps neve r again). Do'c leading a war cry, the utter inappropriateness of which is matched only by the enthusiasm with which it is taken up.

Brr,akfast the next morning; the equilibrium destroying sif{ht of last night's labels on this morning's milk jugs, and the taste of pino colada pervading one's corn flakes.

A race on a too cold Sunday afternoon. Th e pl easu re gaine d from the spectacle of others being tortured and deluged is somewhat marred by the ugly reali ation that one will endur e a similar fate. A glass of beer which can hardly be held, let alone swallowed whole; a h essia n vest for identification (like a Dutch Jew) which is already wet, stained and odoured an unnecessarily unpleasant reminder of what is to come.

Th e word to 'Go' is welcome; discomfort I can stand, anticipating it is a thousand limes worse. Th e race is over quichly (or o it seems), and one's elation (?) at earni ng member hip to this venerable in titulion is for th e moment lost in th e rush lo get to a shower.

JUTTODDIE

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Fleur de Lys, October 1931 Editor: C.J. Zwar Sub -ed: R.R. Andrew "The cult of the noble qualities of both body a nd mind has been further encouraged in College this year by the presentation of two no tab l e Disappearing Trophies, known respectively as the Juttoddie Cup for s teeplechasing over fences, cows, and gas mains and the Zwing Prize for excellence in connubial bridge,"

Lett er from Dr Colin P. Juttner

re Juttoddie

When , during my unforg ettable 1980 visit to the 50th running of the race, I handed to the Warden an enlarged photocopy of Oddie, Cumbrae -Stewart, and Juttner, tak en at the inaugural 1931 meeting , and thereupon cast an eye over th e 1980 scene, th e College Ch ap el was the sole recognizabl e landmark of th e origina l course.

Gone were the daunting bulpaddock f ences of sq uare section hardwood a f ull four f ee t in height with th eir pa rallel fac es at 45 degr ee angl es to the g round, the ends being steel-strapped to th e uprights.

Behan and Cowan had ris en from the subterranean clover, Jeopa rdy had come upon th e cene, the Warden's residence had inte rpolated itself betwe en Tin Alley and the Chapel, and J .C.H. as an erstwhil e witness of these even.ts had be en excluded.

16

Notwit hsta nding the inevita ble contraction over the years of the arena form erly avai labl e to Juttoddie tog e th er with the add ed hazards of Marmit e Corner, hay bales and tyr es, a well lubricat ed tarpaulin, sprink lers, and of cou rse the stairs and corrido rs of Cowan, it was appar ent that the spirit of the relax ed extravaganza of nons ensi cal abandon still pr evai led.

It is probably indisputabl e that the handicapping wit h. bricks is mandatory to comp liance ;,;:ith. the origina l conception of levelli ng off known athletic abil ity - or th e lach of it - and should continue to be determined with good judgement rath er than in an arbitrary way.

In 1981 a chall eng e Ros ebow l will be held fo r the ensuing year by the fir t Trinity woman to eras th e f in ish ing lin e in the Juttoddie. If the stewards are to give an acceptable account of their stewardship th ey might perchance give some thought to the pas ibility of a Hippom enes lurking amongst th e male finalists , and have him sea rched fo r go lden app les!

The50thAnniversary The mood of the College was one of suppressed excitement as the day of the 50th Juttoddie drew near .

The form gu ide had been issued, scrutin ised, and selections made; freshers began to wonder what they were in for; those who had been through it all before were looking forward to a financially successfu l afternoon; and it was common know ledge that the nobblers had been laying their fiendish p lans for many weeks.

So the stage was set as the College turned out on the Bulpaddok on Sunday 27th April, to be greeted y small amounts of sunshine and by large amounts of wind, mostly of the frigid variety. The assembled multitudes surveyed the course, some with trepidation, others casting their minds back to previous years for comparison. The bookies and their assistants appeared on their gilded chariot, the Opening Ceremony progressed smoothly, and the Games commenced in the presence of Dr. Ju ttner, one half of the founding duo and obviously fascinated by the changes that had been wrought since the inception of the event .

L to R: D. Archibald, S. Birkett, C. Pizzey, R. Bayley, T. Mason, T. Brookes, E Billson, S. Hall.

Having donned the obligatory hessian uniform, the competitors in the first heat were away after a quick skol! and br ick-loading, to the accompaniment of a fluent description lrom Brett "The Accurate One" Sullivan. It became obvious as the heats progressed that the major obstacles were the Vegemite sandwich, maintained at peak efficiency by Marcus WinterCooke and associates; and the maze, from which few competitors emerged in a recognizable state . Many heats were won and lost in the final straight, and there was even a dead -heat in the last of the preliminary events. Having given their all, Bill Peden and Terry Mason were declared joint winners and both advanced to the final.

17

The final turned out to be a se ns at ional ev ent; th e beers were skolled, the bricks were loa ded and the c ourse was run, but as the finalist s cros se d th e line th e Protest Committee was already in session. It was eventually announced that both first and second place -getters had, due to unforseen circumstances, failed to negotiate the Vegemit e sandwich to the satisfaction of the stewards; to the anguish of the bookmakers and the delight of some bettors, Alastair Hamer was declared the winner from third place.

Condolences must go to Terry Mason and Bill Peden.

As usual the Committee had organised other attractions to amuse the spectators. By far the most popular was the sponge-throwing, which attracted a large crowd and many th rowers. Some of the notable throwees were our beloved Warden Dr. Burge, House Manager John Smyth (whose wife deligh ted the onlookers by scoring an inordinately large number of Bullseyes), Senior Student Mike Fullerton and Outdoor Rep. Mike Tr aill .

The afternoon 's festivities concluded with a popular egg-throwing competition, after which the crowd dispersed to reflect on the day's events . Later in the evening three roasts-on-spits and a large amount of sa lad were consumed prior to the traditional Common Room Dance, after which the College settled down for the n ight and peace reigned once more.

Many thanks are due to the Juttoddie Committee of Tim Brookes, Caroline Pizzey, Simon Birke tt , Terry Mason, Ed Billson and Stephen Hall for their efforts in making th e 50th Juttodd ie a memorab le occasion in th e College year, and to all those involved on the day who helped to make it a suitably grand eVfmt.

'what's a nice guy like you .... '

Fromthe Senior Student Warden, Dean, Members of the Junior Common Room, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.

"In the final analysis, I doubt the College has any real direction, "it is like a ship without a rudder" - Quote from Senior Student Speech, 1978.

Accusations that the College is elitist are no doubt true; failure to maintain a required rate of academic progress will result ¡in a divergence between the College and some of its members . However, elitism can be int erprete d not as a criticism but as a compliment to the maintenance of standards in an achievement oriented structure .

Well what is the purpose of College, its role in the University, has it altered much from the intention of the founders, and to what extent does it continu e to pursue normative ideals?

The answer will depend on the source. The Preamble of the Trinity College Act of 1979 states that purpose to be "to aid in the advancement of sound learning and religious education by providing a home where students of the University of Melbourne may reside under Christian disciplin e and receive religious instruction in accordance with the Liturgy and the Articles of the Church of England" . That is a statement which given the alliance with the Church is understandable but which under present circumstances would be indicative more of the intention of the founders in the 1870's than as an accurate description of the purpose of Trinity College as it enters the 1980's.

The answer will differ further with varying degrees of articulation when coming from a member of the administration; a parent of a resident , a non-resident member, and a resident student from 43 Royal Parade, Parkville at 10.00 p.m. on a Friday night.

From recent utterances by the Warden and Dean, one might gather that Trinity was a place where "Freedom means Responsibility" or where "vegies and ockers" learn to rough it with the esteemed academ ics and pseudo-intellectuals from the ranks of HSC examinations. Make no mistake , what depths would Melbourne Grammar Schoolboys shrink to it if wasn't for dear old Trinity College?

A more personal opinion is that College is a place of 1)pportunity. A place where narrow-minded academia is discernible only in representatives from the Law Faculty and where the remainder are exposed to a variety of intellectual, social and sporting activities which could only be envied by those who spend their University careers commuting on Victorian Railways and where the Union Cafe is the hub of daily life.

Trinity is an inst itution where the absence of parental control allows the individual to develop the skills of self-reliance and independence in a way which requires at least some consideration of other groups in the surrounding commun ity. A place where a girl can become a woman and where a boy can acquire, with persistent dedication, the questionable community idiosyncra cies that, apart from some congen ital ac ident of birth, amount to the unequivocal deductive assertion that he is, in fact, a man.

21

I do not intend reading a minute analysis of the activities and events that have formed College life over the last twelve months, Pekkkobalm can do that, but some acknowledgements are necessary.

First of all to the T.C.A.C. Committee. Few people realise what a time-consuming operation a position on the Committee is or appreciate the personal sacrifices made in order to see that a large proportion of student activities run as well as they do. The positions are largely honorary. I say largely because expecting Tim Brookes to act as barman for the night without lubrication is similar to expecting a car to run without petrol, and we shall forget the dozen small cans that the Captain of Athletics found in his room the morning after.

I would like to take this opportunity to share the credit for the achievements of the Committee by saying how much I am indebted to not only their work in their respective areas, but to the unity and direction provided by them all throughout the last twelve months as IIJ.embers of the College.

Sally Inglis as Secretary and Margie Gillespie as Indoor Representative both sacrificed substantial periods of their summer holidays in order to ensure that the TCAC Committee interviewed prospective students. As to the results: I apportion no blame whatsoever for the calibre of the freshers this year to their time and effort involved.

They also exerted enough influence on the Committee as representatives of the fairer sex to prevent four males with pathologically chauvinist inclinations from going completely overboard. It is important that the TCAC Committee be representative of both sexes considering the proportion of girls in College.

Michael Traill's enthusiasm and administrative competence didn't quite carry Trinity to those pinnacles of sporting achievement on the Crescent, the Holmes Shield and that elusive Cowan Cup. It is a disappointment I share. However, the girls should come a strong second and at least the men can claim that as far as first term is concerned, Trinity won the Cowan Cup. Wins in women's Baseball, First and Seconds Rowing, and Athletics combined with wins in the men's Rowing, Athletics, Swimming, Soccer and Rugby provided some memorable highlights not to mention TCAC expenditures and if we didn't win overall, the loser's rationale of putting up a good hght is certainly applicable. In fact, we earned back some respect for sport this year and that was due in no small way to the personal endeavours of two people who cared very much, Michael Traill and his ICSC representative, Prue Loveridge.

The success of a committee like the success of a government can be judged on its financial responsibility and performance. Andrew Lyle has done a magnificent job incurring the wrath of College debtors, allowing the committee to undertake renovations to the Billiard Room and Squash Court,

22

making an objectively reasonable allocation to the Clubs and Societies and stiil have enough to ensure that our sportsmen and women did not remain thirst:ic (P.S. In fact a surplus of $2,500 for the year).

The contribution of Tim Brookes is obvious. From Orientation Week he demonstrated his skills in social organisation and the success of such events as the Car Rally, Harroway Tennis, Elliot Fours, the 50th Juttoddie, and the Ball, to name a few - have been due primarily to his efforts.

As to the administration. It took me a few weeks to realise that an aggressive student stance was unnecessary and that the Warden was very open to the wishes of the Committee. We have been divided on less than a handful of issues and then only as to what either of us thought would be in the best interests of the College. Allowing the committee access to the resources of the office, his attitude and continual helpful advice can best be descrihed as fatherly without being paternal.

In contrast, the amicable relations in Trinity should be compared with the recent troubles in University College. They are a direct product of a principal who is endeavouring to superimpose a disciplinary administration upon students, not only removing their autonomy and opportunities for student involvement with its corollary satisfactions, but in deliberately subjugating the students to a role that may have been acceptable twenty years ago. The resignation of tutors, leavers and absence of any candidate for their Senior Student speaks for itself.

We are fortunate in having a Warden who not only has quite different philosophical views but who has in fact encouraged the opposite. The experience of seven years in Trinity is evident and the resulting harmony between students and administration is due to his commitment to this College.

Bryan Deschamp, despite his overseas trip, is classified as a full -time Dean . Bryan is quietly involved and it is suffice for me to say that there is quite sufficient administrative work to justify the position of a full-time Dean.

1979-80 T.C.A.C. L to R: S.S - M. Fullerton; General Rep - T. Brookes; Outdoor Rep - M. Traill; Secretary - A. Inglis; Treasurer - A. Lyle; Indoor Rep - M. Gillespie

Further changes such as John Smyth as House Manager, and Eric Payne as the College Bursar have added considerably to the administrative efficiency of the College. In fact John Smyth is so efficient he manages to be a regular supporter at sporting functions and not even the Warden has been a spongethrowing target for his wife at Jutt.orlrliP..

The Senior Common Room this year have been a fairly tolerant bunch and in fact have mixed as well as graduates and intellectual snobs can be expected to in this respectful academic institution. The activities organised by the SCR - particularly lectures and concerts by outside guests - have certainly provided a number of valuable opportunities for particular interests .

Little is known about the College Council. The Chairman is the Archbishop of Melbourne, Robert Dann, who is a former old boy of the College. Other representatives include the Bishops of Bendigo and Ballarat, members of the College administration and others from more commercial backgrounds. A large proportion of them are old boys. Last and probably least are the TCAC representatives and this is important not only as a recognition of the student body, but because representation gives the power to influence. There is little doubt that but for student presence on the Council, the married tutors' flats would not have been built next to Dorothy and it is encouraging to have a Council which displays a genuine interest and concern for the current interests and activities of the students.

As to student participation outside sports, it is necessary only to glance at the success of "Oh, What a Lovely War" and the numbers involved, the concerts and activities organised by the. Music Society, the quizzes and debates by the Dialectic Society, the continued successful operation of our illegal wine cellar and that devastating cocktail party devised by Terry Mason and friends, and a picture of continual activity emerges.

The Chapel continues to provide musical and spiritual enlightenment to those who wish to become involved but the most encouraging development of 1980 has been the programme that answers all those barbed criticisms that Trinity is an inward looking self-sufficient and selfish community - Outreach.

Fostered by the Dean and Jano Simpson, it has grown quickly and become involved in many nearby social welfare activities . It is a programme I hope will become firmly entrenched in College life in the near future.

As for myself, my attempts to break up late night parties and generally adopt an authorf tanan stance if not entirely successful, certainly enhanced my reputation as a little, curly, red-haired expletive deleted .

I must admit the role of 'K.K.K.' was much easier to handle and the "leprechaun" analogy somewhat more appropriate I like to think.

Having been in both roles comparisons are inevitable and being Senior Student is certainly more of an eye opener than a leg opener, more of a bird's eye view than a brown eye view.

One aim of mine was to develop Intercollegiate relations and inviting College st.udP.nt committees to dinner was part of this programme. It is something I hope will continue.

There has been some dissatisfaction expressed about the lack of opportunity for non-resident participation and this is an area that can be worked on in the coming year.

As you may gather, I do not agree that College is a "rudderless ship", it provides the opportunity of a lifetime to ¡ make University a broad and rich experience. It is worth considerably more than the two thousand odd dollars we pay for it.

I wish my successor all the very best.

Being K.K.K. was an honour, the last twelve months as Senior Student has been a privilege .

On the Grapevine "Remember that if you have to decide whether to give up women or wine, consider the vintage".

This year's cellar committee began with even less experience than that of the previous committee, with only one member restanding.

However, with Great Plans and much enthusiasm we set out on our merry way. Our first major task was the provision of wine for the Valedictory Dinner.

This appeared to be reasonably successful, and no complaints were received (about the wine anyway!). Future committees should ensure that they at least have a say in what wine is served at all major College dinners, or else their-existence becomes less meaningful.

brok en, and the cleaning staff return sooner from their week-end break .

Th e annual Win es Tour disappointed me at first, with on ly six people being able to set out. However, those th at participated in the Gnome Roam had a great week, and the re le vent report no doubt rela tes a story of hectic touring a long the road to oblivion .

Second term saw the usual balling season, and this helped to pick up our rate in the turnover stakes . Thi s year's turnover of arou nd $7000 was slightly below that of last year's, but th e ce ll ar is still a la rg e and unpredictable enterprise which p lays an important role in Colleg e life. One area requiring carefu l consideration is the question of cred it. Firm policies in this regard need to be made and enforced . I strongly second my predecessor in saying that any level . of debtors is a real drain on resources, and the task of debt collect ing is laborious, and should be unnecessary.

I sincerely hope that the cellar retains its ro le in College life, and that our suc cessors manage to en joy the c halleng e of running it as much as we have done.

(Our Seppe lt' s takeover bid will have to wait).

Part of the Great Plans involved the redecoration of the cellar itself. The accumulated treasures, of one kind or another, were disposed of (except various mementoes from previous tours), the walls painted, and the shelves and a display rack installed. This allowed various architects and builders a free hand in the redecoration of their new empire. It also served to rationalise stock control quite nicely.

The cellar was given the opportunity to run a winetasting during 0-Week for the benefit of the freshers and any seniors that might have been around. Thi~ was quite successful, and rapidly degenerated into a scrabbling for the last drops of wine from a cask as any decent tasting should.

And then there was the Cocktail Parety, held on Anzac Day (although not many people remembered the question on most people's lips was "Where am I?").

This technicolour hol oca ust has become tr adi tion after only one year, and I hope that it stays that way. Th ere is, howe ver , an unb e lievab le a mount of org anisa tion involved, and I believe that th e scale of futur e even ts will need to b e reduced if it is to continue being as success. Hopefully next time fewe r glasses will be 28

WinesTour A small band of six were all those who dared to venture on the 1980 Wineries Crawl of South Australia . Organised by our T.C.W .C. Presid e nt, Terry Mason, we were lured to a week of a lcoholi c torture in various forms by his promises of "bulk free piss and plenty of women".

The unsuspecting party left on the first Saturday of the May holidays, travelling in a westerly direction.

We were imp eded somewhat

by Mark Clemens (Jap anese philologist"-~nd world authority on bondage) who insisted on driving his car no faster than 50 kilometres per hour. A few ports soon fixed th at .

Arriving a t Hor sham th at night we met a friend of Buzz Bay ley's who kindJ.v le t us stay at hi s house for th e night. In return, Ed Billson, in a burst of c harity, mowed his lawn, and at the same tim e practiced tho se inf amo us 360 degree handbrake turn s, as well as just mi ssi ng a water tower stand.

The next morning, dogged by hangovers which were not to leave us until well after the tour, and a blurred memory of the F.A. Cup (did Arsenal win? .. . did Arsenal play?) we headed off to McLaren Vale.

Monday morning found the group with a monstrous thirst and we spent the whole day tasting numerous wines. Vineyard of the day was Kay Bros., who overwhelmed us with their hospitality and wide range of wines .

On Tuesday we travelled north through Adelaide and up to the Barossa Valley. Arriving at lunchtime, we wasted no time and visited the Krondorf, Orlando and Wards wineries. The evening was spent in the luxurious comfort of a four berth caravan which enabled Ed Billson to give vent to his inhibitions and inclinations in the cramped conditions (although Helen Moss and Buzz Bayley didn't complain). After a gourmet repast, which mainly consisted of indulging in that vile South Australian excuse for beer and a few wines, the terracotta ritual commenced.

After two hours of fruitless search, Tim Brookes caught sight of an appropriate mascot: it resides with his friends in the Wine Cellar. This was not achieved without some degree of risk, as the local police followed us from the point of pick-up into the caravan park, and right up to our caravan . They were probably only put off by Ed and Tim hiding in the men's conveniences as they cruised past.

Wednesday night was a highlight of the tour as far as wine-tasting went. We managed to convince a few wineries that we represented a large wine-buying concern in Melbourne and consequently received some red-carpet treatment. Weaving our way through the Barossa we visited Penfold's, Wolf Blass (reputedly Australia's best wine blender) and Henschke's. A trifle knackered we went back to Adelaide and spent the night at the Billson's place. Dinner that night was at Bertie's Pancake Parlour where we introduced Clem to all the waitresses.

The next day was a rest day we spent a leisurely time wandering around Adelaide University and the Performing Arts Centre. For dinner that night we discovered that it is difficult to get even a meal of fish an'd chips in the city.

Clem provided the entertainment for the second (or fifth) night in a row when he decided that there was not enough milk in his hot water which he thought was coffee .

An early start on Friday morning ensured that we arrived in Naracoote in plenty of time to organise the c a ravan and get to the pub. We'd been there for a while when we were handed raffle tickets for the free 6 o'clock draw - the prize being a dozen bottles of beer. Wh en pink ticket F74 was announced Terry found to his amazement that he had it . In a sporting

gesture he offered to pay the difference for a Victorian Brew of the real beer variety and they agreed - a bargain! Clem's and Ed's cars were well washed that night.

Saturday morning, the last morning of actual touring, involved visits to Redman's, Eric Brand's and Mildara.

Clem excelled himself yet again, and explained to still more people what Brown Brothers were doing with their current vintage. After lunch and the soul-saving games of pinball, it was off to the Winter-Cooke's for dinner, and some sleep. At the Grub's place we played cards and visited the local before retiring for an early (relatively) night.

Sunday morning was spent ruralising around the Grub's farm. That afternoon after hefty repast, we headed back for Melbourne where we cou ld hide from enthusiastic little salesmen in purple uniforms waving bottles of wine at us screaming "have some more wine!" (or did we just dream that?).

The tour members would like to express their gratitude to the Winter-Cooke's, the Stanley's (Clare Vale) and the Billsons for their hospitality. It makes the tour that much easier when the evenings aren't spent in cramped conditions such as caravans .

In retrospect the tour was a great success hopefully more people will consider it worthwhile next year.

CocktailParty "They shall not grow old, as we that are left qrow old .

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

While snorkling or in Naughton's We will remember them . " More than 170 people at tended the 1980 Cocktail Party, held on Anzac Day in the Dining Hall . Som e of those people survived and can actually remember what happened during the course of the evening. It is now time to record the facts before fantasies destroy the truth .

The organisers, under the capable guidance of Cynthia Glen, had their problems compounded by the fact that all the ingredients had to be purchased at least a day before the event because of the public holiday. This created a few minor hassles, particularly with regard to glass hire (the organisers definitely do not recommend Alora Party Hire for your next function).

After a mammoth amount of preparation, a ll was in readiness.

Sixte en brightly coloured alcoholic marvels, plus a few homemade concoctions, were lined up, and the garn ishes and food were laid out .

Wh en the door opened, the bar was swamped by a multitude of people eager to partake of the little beauties, either by the glass or jug-full.

30

Th e background noise soon became cluttered with resounding crashes, both of glass and people. The member's bar hurled into full flight, then later hurled in full flight. The bouncers were doing th eir thing , and the dishwashers were doing theirs. Special mention must be made here of Tim Watson and Vivi enne Corcoran who spent the whole evening up to their elbows in glasses and jugs.

Eventu a lly people began to retire, and hearty throaty sounds indicated that some were beginning to make mooncraters of their own. A number of people recorded scores of ten out of ten.

At lunchtim e the next day, stories began to emerge.

People were ony jus t beginning to become coherent enough to ask wha t they had done or who had put th em to bed. Some told tales of banging into every wall in th eir corridor in an attempt to answer the telephone, while others suffered in silence. Some people even flatly refused to admit th a t it was them.

How ever many brains were hurting th e day after, the Cocktail Party still remains a great success and a unique College event. To those who helped in th e organisation and preparation, thank you. And here's looking to the next one.

Dialectic Society Despite a name suggestive of extreme esotericism the Dialectic Society has in recent history proved t~ be the most broadly based club within the College.

Long ago it left behind an exclusively Ciceronian tradition and the Society now aims to offer its members a range of activities which.extend from the Orientation Week Freshers v Senior Gentlemen Debate to the somewhat chaotic end of the year Revue - with much sandwiched in between. These functions are not conducted for the benefit of a small enclave of serious scholars (in fact such a thing may not exist at Trinity), but rather are directed at the entire student population.

Indeed the crowd of one hundred and thirty that pressed into the J.C.R. in first term to hear John Halfpenny's discourse on trade unionism attests to some success in this regard.

First term, also saw the revival of the parliamentary style debate, with the anti-communist forces lining up against several fellow travellers on the topic "That Australia should boycott the Moscow Olympics".

Notwithstanding the portentous nature of the issue the undoubted highlight of the evening was a suspension of standing orders which permitted the passing of the Lucas amendment to the Egg Export Act. In the more formal area of inter -Collegiate debating, Trinity will, in the tird term final, be striving for its seventh successive victory in the interCollegiate competition . This team, led by Vivienne Corcoran and compr-ising at various times, Messrs .

Hutching, Lucas, Brooksby and Kingston, has found itself supporting such motions as "That we wish to be deceivPd" and "That Brutus had the right idea".

DIALECTIC SOCIETY L to R: L. Fleming, A. Inglis, V. Corcoran, M. Kingston (Sec)

Distinguished members of the outside community have been invited to speak to the Society in an effort to promote a discussion of contemporary, social and political issues. Lectures from the likes of Frank Galbally, Sir Macfarlane Burnet, and John Halfpenny have proved both popular and thought-provoking.

On a less solemn note the students' knowledge of the obscure and the trivia l was tested in terms one and two through the medium of the College Quiz. Quiz Mistress, Penelope Pengilley, devised a suitable eclectic set of questions and many chose to battle through the intellectual ordeal - the prize was after all a jeroboam of champagne.

The 1980 Wigram Allen Essay Competition saw a near record number of entries and a literary standard considerably above that of past years. Nigel Wright's winning essay was well written and superbly read with a conclusion which the adjudicator, Dr Robin Sharwood, described as both brilliant and sha tiering.

Regrettably the attendance was not all that it might have been - perhaps a legacy of the Senior Student's Dinner the evening before?

The year has seen a continuation of the trend towards a diversification of the Society's interests and the involvement of a greater proportion of the Trinity community in its activities: Both these objectives remain well worth pursuing in the future. .....;..

Music

The year got off to a good start with the first college concert. There was a great variety of material and styles including light-rock, baroque, avante garde, classical and jazz. There was a healthy balance of college members and visitors amongst both the performers and the audience, whilst Tony Gould's presence and performance helped to give the night the flavour and feeling of a real and worthwhile occasion .

This first concert helped to exemplify and prove worthwhile my hopes and aims for music in Trinity. I wanted the live musical experience to extend beyond the domain of a few specialists, into the wider college community . It was not my intention, however, to substitute 'The Police' and 'Jimmy and the Boys' for Brahms and Beethoven, but rather to provide a rich variety of material and styles so that there cou ld be something of interest for everyone . In this way people would not only find pleasure in items suiting their individual tastes, but would also be exposed to music outside their normal experience. This expos ur e to new and sometimes unpleasant musical stimuli is made bearable by the fact that a large variety of material creates a relatively short time span for each particular style (e.g. the Warden commented on the "six mercifully short piano pieces

by Schoenberg" performed at the first concert).

I also consider the inclusion of non-college members as healthy in that it can help to raise our own musical standard, whi lst it a lso tends to broaden our view of community.

I hope that next year's committee, and musicians generally, will see the function of music as serving the wider college community, and thus also serving to bring people together who are otherwise divided by diversity of activity and interest.

Crooners In 1980 "Crooners", the College secular singing group, was made of a permanent core of people who sang regularly, aided occasionally by some helpers.

The music was varied in an effort to appeal to as large a population as possible.

Having begun the year by chuffing along with Chatanooga Choo-Choo, we romped through Baby Face, Second-Hand Rose and a few other red ones for a Blue Lady (these were fleurs, not claret). We all remember Samson and the fine points of his anatomy - big hands and a hairy head. The Rhythm of Life was too much for the Three Little Maids from School so they turned their attention to celibate music of a sacred nature. The College Chapel provided the forum for Crooners' first public appearance . We think Professor Dennison's talent scouts were in the congregation and it was probably the soprano's high notes that meant there were no positions offered in the Chapel Choir.

Like a ll worthy art forms, Crooners experienced a Renaissance of Madrigallian splendour . It was firmly established Where the Bee Sucks (sung in le Olde Englishe). Sad times were ahead - Philomela was the first to go ... she los t her love somewhere . Sweet Kate was a calcu lating lass who left a stream of dejected lovers behind her. Teehee . But the piece de resistance remains - poor Jane . Crooners killed her! No number of musical resurrections could give a breath of life to this poor maimed being.

Music has a lot to compete with in College but by the support from its members, Crooners thi s year has indicated that people are interested in this type of music making.

Cheekto Cheek 'Cheek to Cheek' was a real fr eak, Definitely th e best ball of the season.

What I m ean Hurl er, it was a pearler, The f ollowing is the reason.

First of all it was Australian Crawl, Who really went to town.

And then, 0 Fizzles, was Cold Chisel, Who brought the town hall down.

The food, Genine, was divine, Quite a glutton 's plunder, But with grog supplied, plus the Wat ersid e, Some were known to chunder.

Finally Tim, cash box fill ed to brim , Was glad it was all ove r.

And so we're left , quite bereft, Of all but memories and hangover .

Roy Preece (Vice-President, Doggerel Inc.)

' The Trinity College Ball was, frankly, a great letdown. I truly had hopes of a night of activity and sophistication . A night when the many fine young men and women of this .college could put on their glad rags and relax in a genteel atmosphere .

Unfortunately the music was of the type described as popular and the dancing was certainly less than proper.

I fully support the Warden in his recommendation for the A .B.C . Show Band next year.

Personally the final blow came upon my return to College where I was kept from my studies by the sounds of people carous ing and drinking well into the morning. Try as I might to concentrate on my work I was continually distracted . A sad situation.

Frustration finally drove me to my bed where the noise, snatches of bawdy songs and worse combined to disturb my slumber.

The next morning I was shocked to discover that some of my fellow collegiates had actually stayed up all night.

What a senseless waste of human life.

Chapel "Not a having and a resting, but a growing becoming is the character of perfection."

and

I am reminded of these words of Matthew Arnold as I ponder the writing of a report on the life of the Chapel Community for the year. There is a temptation to chronicle the deeds of the community - the high points of its life and to rest in self-congratulatory smugness. It is a temptation which this report will eschew .

This course is not dictated by the absence of highlights of the year. The great Easter Eve liturgy was as splendid and uplifting as ever, and was given an added note of jov by the Confirmation of JFmnifer Mackay and Penny Pengilley. Nor did the College Eucharist on Thursdays la ck high pomts. Among other guest preachers, the Bishop of Ballarat amused and challenged us on the subject of "Possessions", Fr. Albert Macpherson spoke on Creative Discipleship, and Dr. John Gaden fired our spirits in talking about the love of God. Th ese stand out as memorable evenings.

of God and enriched. Th e College Chapel exists to enable people, through encounter with God, to lead enriched lives . This visionary enterprise is dependent on the people in the community and is blessed to have the dedicated caring leadership of Rodney Oliver and John Gaden. So when I reflect on the past year for the Chapel community, I think of the growth in the vision of God and its members, which results in the growth of their humanity.

Growth in humanity is the only important contribution which any group in college can make .

Yet I will not rest content with reflection on what has been done by the community this year . The tone of self-congratulation for what groups in the college have done, disturbs me. For we are more than the prizes and premierships which we win, the exams which we pass, the achievements at which we grasp.

So I refuse to exult in our times of joy and inspiration . I refuse to be depressed that Trinitarians have continued in the venerable tradition of not going to Chapel. I will not indulge in the "numbers game" of counting heads as a gauge of success .

I would rather go on to ponder the members of the community and their growth. I wou ld rather look at how caught up we have been in the life of the Triune God in whose service this College was founded. In this process there 1s no room for complacency, no way in which success can be eas ily quantified. When I think of the Chapel community in this way I see how in various ways people have been tou ched by the vision

Choir The Trinity College Chapel Choir has enjoyed ano ther successful and enriching year, continuing to provide a high standard of sacred choral music.

However, it is rather unfortunate that many people in co ll ege are unaware of th e c ultur a l asset the co llege has in the choir, and th e reputation it has worked to achieve over the past number of years .

Apart from the regular Monday and Wednesday evensongs, the choir h as sung at several other notable occasions throughout the year. At the Patron a l Festival in June the choir had the privilege of performing for the first time the Anthem "Flower in the Crannied Wa ll" especia lly composed

by Nig e l Butterly for the choir and dedicated to Peter Dennison and Trinity Colleg e . The music for th e service wa s

selected from 20th Century choral music and the choir also performed a Te D eum Laedamus in C by Benjamin Britten.

At the end of second term the choir was given the honour of providing a program for the closing Music Week concert for the Univ ersi ty of Melbourne Faculty of Musi c . The concert was composed of English choral music from the Ri:rnr>issance and Baroque periods, provided by John Beaverstock . Geoffrey Cox and Peter Dennison. In October the choir will be singing at a se rvic e for the commemoration of Founders and Benefactors and on December 14th will be perforrning at the annual Festivali of NinP Lessnns n.nrl C a rol ~ The choir has also been a ppro ac h ed by ABC .l:'M to ma ke a reco rding in the Colleg e Chapel late in September.

On severa l occasions throughout the year th e choir en joys an evening ou t together. One such occasion was p ar tic ularly successful thanks to the management and exce ll ent nouvelle cuisine of le Bon Vivant restaurant.

Unfortun ate ly some choristers insisted upon proving that their ability to hold alcohol is even worse than their singing. Being men and women of many talen ts and aspirations, some tried to tran scend the laws of gravi ty and practi ce the art of flying down stairs while one contented hims e lf with trying to walk throu gh a closed toilet door.

Wh et her through ca us es that can be deduced from the above paragraph, or other reasons, the choir has a fairl y consistent an nu a l turnover in membership and members of the college shou ld fee l free to seek an a udition .

On behalf of the Chapel Choir and College I would like to take this opportunity to thank Profes sor Peter Dennison for his dedication and support in his ro le of Dir ec tor of Mu sic for Trinit y Colleg e.

T.C.P.C. Look, I know you all expect me to write you an entertaining report about the Photo Club, but seriously, what can you do with photography, except fill this magazine full of it to help your aging memories in years to come . Actually the Club's activities at present really concern only a small minority serving the College in general, rather than a wide cooperative effort as we would prefer it . Hopefully next year may see a greater number of College members taking sidvantage of us; after all that's what the darkr.o.om is for (that's got the obligatory 'darkroom' s,nigger out of the way . . .). ' This year has mainly been spent collecting photos for this publication at var~ous College events and nonevents; in addition through the efforts of Ian Thrussell, certain darkroom improvements have been effected so that printing is now somewhat less of a Siberian experience.

Lastly, I would like to add that the behaviour of my committee throughout the year has been above reproach.

There are always risks involved in trying to produc e a College play, the choice of play, the choice of theatre, the Director, the cast, the Colleg e itself. This year we took a few more risks than usual. It all started with the play itself - "O What A Lovely War".

Musicals are more of a pain in the neck than usual as far as risks are concerend but this play had a number of things in its favour - it requires a large cast, a competent backstage crew and a band of musicians the perfect total involvement play. The large numbers involved combined with the lack of any need for specific skills and a fairly even distribuion of the acting workload made it a perfect College Play.

Paul Clarkson of the Tin Alley Players was chosen as the Director and from the cast's reaction to the play and to Paul, and the enormous amount of work that he had done on the script, the play looked like it was going to be popular. John Adamson kindly accepted the role of Musical Director and the cast metamorphis began - the mute found voices, the tone-deaf found tune (every now and again) and the lead-footed managed to march in time - even to music. The performances being nearly a month later this year meant that Play Camp was more constructive in terms of real achievement - and that meant a heavier workload. Subsequently there was less "imbibing" by the cast as a whole - especially as all were expected to attend the daily route march at 9.00 a .m. (!)

Captain Tedious kindly offered his services again this year (it was rumoured that some side benefits prompted this selfless gesture), and both Ginny Gutteridge and himself kept the working masses full of excellent food . Unfortunately ¡ for the gossip columnists no new romances were kindled during the week (although neither Genine or Vivienne were heard to complain).

LovelyWar Th e traditional last night binge was one of the few thing s to re main the same, with Ed & Terry (George & Mildred) representing the Me lbourne contingent. Th e n ext morning's route ma rch was something of a fiasco with our Drill Serg ea nt in no fit condition for anything and mo st of the troops either s till asleep, drunk or both. The rehearsal that followed was, if it can be im ag in ed , worse, with Mr. Gill trying to do all his acting sitting down a nd th e rest of the cast at the b est hung-over.

On ce so ber e d up (if suc h a state is physically atta in ab le with inm ates from this hallowed institution), and back in Melb ou rn e, work really began in earnes t. Doug Taup in - our inv a lu a bl e St age Manage r - and hi s m erry b and of men const ru c ted a se t a nd we fin a lly moved into the theatre . D av id Je nkin s from RMIT a nd Mr . A.D. Brook es kindly proffered their services in the areas of light s and so und thereby performing a pricel ess service to the production.Nigel Wright provided the most superb costumes and we were a ll set for an audience .

An yone who has acted in the Union Th eatre will appreciate the enormous difference that the Guild made to the show - the intimacy and the immediacy of the sma ll er space affec ted th e interpretation of the script and certain ly increased the show's impact.

Working in the Guild a lso meant a reduction in the size of the Gala Night a udi e n ce and a season of two weeks, b ut neither factor seemed to adverse ly affect the Play as a w hole.

All in a ll , the result was a success, at the box office, to act in, to watc h . Traditionally College Plays take as few risks as possible but this year's effort proved the worth and merit of sticking your neck out. Hopefully next year taking risks will prove to be as successful as it has this yea r.

TrikeRace Once agai n in 1980, th e Trinity Coll eg e Trik e Race Committee pedalled into action, and after some effort managed to restore Frank and Arthur to some semblance of their former glory. N ew freewheels, brakes and a coat of paint com bin ed to give us the meanest three -wh eeled machines on the Crescent, or so we tho ught.

So it was off to Portsea th e night before the Race, with high hopes of a magnificent victo ry and a spate of inexplicable instan ces of har ak iri furth er north along Roya l Para de. The Port sea Pub was a major disappointment; there were more policemen than trikers, and for some reason the publi can seemed to b e a bit apprehensive of the fact that the main bar might at a ny moment disappear in a cloud of flour and flying beer. This did not eventuate, how ever, anc. the team retired disappointed to Ed Bill son 's place at Shoreh am . It soon became obvious th a t there was enough a lc oholic beverage even to satisfy Bre tt Sullivan (a fact which pleased Brett no en d), so th e party started to swing a nd a gr ea t tim e was had by a ll.

Next morning it was all go as the team ha d a qui ck breakfast, thoughtfully provided b y the C ollege, and moved back to Port sea for th e nine o'c lo ck start. At our appointed time of 9.20, Arthur was on the grid and raring to go, but disaster had already struck as the back -up ute could not be made to propel itself.

Nevertheless, the Trike started with a car as back-up, and we were away . Despite the fact that we also had

trik e troubl e in th e first few kilometres, once we wound our selves up we were unquestionab ly flying.

Some of th e Race highlights: Martin Sevior, David Ross a nd Brett Sullivan a ll deciding at var ious tim es that some thin g they ate at breakfast disagreed wi th them; Terry Mason hanging on for dear life down Ba lc ombe Hill; Captain Ted Salter progressing down Oli ver 's Hill at six ty ki lometres per hour; and Tim Brookes comb ining well wi th Terry's elbow to bring our Seni or Stud en t into violent sliding co nt ac t with th e bitumen .

Once past Frankston, ou r short cranks gave us a big adva ntag e and we passed several trikes befor e crossing the line in Tin All ey in a very credi table fourth position, which we managed to retain a fter corrected tim es ha d been calculated. Offi cial results: I.H. first, Engi es second, Orm ond third, Trinit y fourth.

Th anks a re due to a ll th ose who made the day such a great s uccess: Simon Birk et t and D avid Barnes for their work on the Committee; Terry Mason for printing th e T-shirt s; Ed Billson for th e use of hi s place for th e party; D av id Wa in ew right for the use of hi s utility (whi ch we did manage to get mobile); Buzz Bay ley, Ja mes Robin son, Cynthia Gl en, Ma nd y Davey , Ma rgi e Moron ey a nd Terry Jaspe r for th e ir driving; a nd of co ur se a ll th e rid ers and wou ld -b e mechanics for kee ping the trikes on th e move.

The Ex-pats How could this 1980 Trinity side beat a team made up of legends from the past? Before the game we re lived ou r brilliant pa ssages of play from former years and decided we were good thing s. We knew they wou ld be fa ster than us for sure, but we had ex per ience on our side. This then was the thinking of the Trinity Old Boy's footbal l team as they mingled befo re the big game.

We had our strategy worked out and we knew thei r weaknesses. And ou r plans worked too - fo r exac tly three and a ha lf minut es . At this sta ge of the ga me Trinity's fitness advantage (why didn't you train us like

48

that Frank?) gave them the edge a s our own training run s at Naughton 's took their toll.

Conveniently no one cou ld re membe r how much Trinity bea t us by. Still, ove r drink s that nigh t, the ex -pat s were still co nvinced ou r tea ms of yes te r-yea rs wou ld trounce this 1980 side . And , as the night grew later, we a ll became cha mpi ons aga in.

T.C.C.C.(foot) After a painfull y slow start to the year, the Tri nity College Cripples' Club forged blindly ahead, with the full support of the Naughton's collection box . With many of last year's participants now fully disabled, we were obliged to look to certain violent College activities to fill the gaps caused by our frequent loss of members.

However, despite these numerous stumbling blocks, the Cripples' Club was able to take out the Inter collegiate Wheelchair Bark for the fourth successive year, as well as the one-legged dash. Un fortunately we could only see our way to a third in the Cripple Jump.

By far the most significant achievement of the year was the triumphant scaling of the unconquered North staircase of Cowan . The reason - as one exhausted member of the party explained: "Because it was there" .

We would like to thank Dr Deschamp for his support during the year. We shall continue to wear it.

VICTORY Iâ&#x20AC;˘ Women lsts & 2nds This year was the most successful women's rowing season in College history! Not only did the seconds crew continue to dominate their race, but the l st crew proved its supremacy on the river beating both Newman and Ormond in the final.

There were the usual selection trials at the beginning of the term, and it was good to see such an enormous number of girls turn out. An ind ication of this can be seen in the nu~r of freshers in the first crew - Helen Purnell (6), Ruth \Hobson (4), Lyndsay McKendrick (3), and Arabella Scott (bow). Every one of these girls had previous rowing experience so it is little wonder that the crew showed such potential from the start.

Cox - W. Hallowes; Stroke - X. Boynton; 7 - R. Lees; 6 - P. Pengilley; 5 - D. Twigg; 4- M. Osborn; 3 - S. Carruthers; 2 - P. Winter-Cooke; Bow - L. Snell.

Special thanks must go to Michael Nicholson for his e x perienced coaching. All in all it was a very good year for women's rowing and I hope the next one will be able to maintain this year's standard and enthusiasm.

A. Inglis

Cox - A. Inglis (Capt), Stroke - M. Foster; 7 - V. Kratochvil; 6 - H. Purnell; 5 - M . Gillespie; 4 - R. Hobson; 3 - L. McKendrick; 2 - A. Rowland; Bow A. Scott Much of the success however must go to the stroke and seven seat - Margot Foster and Virginia Kratochvil, who had just returned from the rowing "nationals".

These two set the style and pace of the boat and the rest of the girls followed valiantly. The other senior girls in the crew were Margie Gillespie (5), who had rowed in the previous years firsts and Anni Rowland whose enthusiasm made up for the fact that she had never rowed before. Meg Poulston, who was injured while training,must also be:: thanked for the many hours she put in.

Training for the big race is not much fun, especially the 5.30 a.m. starts. The girls, however , were more than capable of dealing with the dark early mornings , and if they were not wide awake on the Behan steps, the music in Ann i's car soon fixed that. Weekends as well as mornings were sacrificed to rowing, but in spite of Helen ' s glandular fever and Arabella ' s physics lectures , the crew was able to put in the long hours that ultimately paid off.

In both the heats and the final Trinity thrashed all opposition by several lengths.

52

Men lsts Once again, the start of 0-Week meant the start of training for the rowers. With only two people back fro,11 the previous year, the members of the crew were roughly established in the first week with seat changes continuing.

John Harry was back for his third effort as coach, aided by Will Baillieu who took John's place while he wo~ unavailable during the first week.

Sincere thanks must go to John and Will for their tim e and experience over the hectic three week s of i:ollege rowing.

By the time Shums had all too soon arrived , Trinity wa s boating a competent cre w settled only the week e nd before with the return of two college memb e rs from National Championship commitments.

Rowing 1980 After lo sing a few feet to Queen's at the start, Trinity wen t on to win by a comfortab le 7 or 8 lengths. Betw een the heat and the final, we retired to the Mercantile shed where we were a ll plugged in to W i ll's never-to-beforgotten 'e nergy machine' . It was then back to the water and up to the start where we had to endure the abuse of the Ormond supporters ready to follow the race in hired buses.,

2nds The 1980 rowing

season sta rted early in the morning of Wednesday the 27th of February. About 5.30 a.m. in fact; this was to ensure that all the members of the crew were relat ively sobe r. There were many college members keen to get their hands on an oar at the start of the season, and about eight were keen to get rid of their oars at the end of the season. A lot of hard work was put in by everyone over the three weeks. Horry Asche, the coach, deserves a spec ia l mention - he was a lw~ys first to the banks. We think this punctuality was due to his great delight ir:i e ight idiots with bloodshot eyes and green watering complexions pour themselves into a boat. Due to Harry 's perseverence and tight training schedule we eventual ly became a competent crew and gave Ormond a good fight. Our cox Sniffy Ingl is also deserves many thanks, she was always cheerful and did wonders for the crew's morale, far more than a male cox could have! The man y technical failures of the P.A. system were very detrimental to her voice, but it fina ll y worked on the day (so did the

P.A.).

Cox - M. Fullerton; Stroke - M. Keeley; (7) R. Adams,m; (6) A. Maughan; (5) D. Wamewnght (Capt); (4) G. Hamilton; (3) M.Carnegie; (2) P. Hobart; Bow - S. Cook.

From the moment we began, any rough edges on the Trinity crew disapppeared, and John and Will had the surpr ise and pleasure of see in g th e intend ed race tactics unfolding to perfect ion and - better still - with the desired re sults. One of my own most cherished memor ies wi ll a lways be of the moment when, emerg ing from th e first bridge, I rea li sed the Ormond buses had become very sil e nt. The day was to be ours w ith th e final margin being l ½ lengths.

The first week of the season was spe nt sorting out the crew. We had many people to select from and there was much abuse hurled around the boat and from the bank. In the second week, with the cr.ew established, we made good progress. The third week was spen t imp lementing Harr y's master training programme, otherwise known as involuntary mass suicide. All this time the crew had to contend with the rash of part ies going on to College .

Refusing all those drinks was hard work (so they tell me).

Towards the end of the thir d week the only thing that woke everyone up in the mornings were the hair-raising car chases down to the boat sheds . (Poli ce are stil l searching for the drivers of a red Lancer and a white Celica ... ).

The third annual dinner of the E.S. Hughes Club he ld prior to Shums was aga in a successful night. Following the subsequent success of the women's rowing it was decided Q new boat sho uld be purchased. Much of the funds were raised at a dinner in college on the 13th of June, at which it was announced that the new boat should be named ofter Ar thur Godfrey, who rowed in, and then coached a number of college crews with cons iderab le succe ss.

Our thank s again to John Harry and Will Ba illi eu, and also to Andrew Cannon who helped obtain Will's services when John was unavailable for part of the season.

There were two last minute changes in the crew, due to two members of the 1st crew joining the 2nds. Dick Tallis went in at 3, and Tim Burgess at 6. Thi s unfortunately meant the retirement of Charlie Clarke and Bill Peden, after all the hard work they had done during training.

The crew on the day was: Stroke: J. Robinson; 7: A. Brooksby; 6: Tim Burgess; 5: S. Belt; 4: G. Hayes; 3: R. Tallis; 2: G. Flanagan and Bow E. Billson. We beat Queen's convincingly in the heat and came up against Ormond in the final. We had a good start on Ormond but they took us at the l OOOm ma rk to finish half a length ahead. Our time was l O seconds better than in the heat.

It was a good season for the seconds, thanks again to Harry Asche, and the stroke James Robinson and Geoff Hayes who had never rowed before.

Love and lashes.

Baseball Cricket The 1980 bid for th e int e r-co l legiat e Cricket Cup was d ea lt a fatal blow when, in our f irst encounter ,against Kendal l Hall , we were sou nd ly beaten and knocked out of th e compe tit ion.

Pre-seaso n train ing show ed a grea t deal of prom ise w ith many young chaps kee n to impre ss the se lecto rs. The "Souv lak i Fl ier " sti ll managed to find a few soft spo ts on another of "Ro na ld Dal e's" killer wickets.

Going out to bat first o n the Crawford a total of 200 was envisaged . Howeve r, a fine o pe ning stand of 3 run s by stalwar t Al ex Boyco tt (3) and the in-form champion Mark Gooch (~) put our h igh expec tati o ns in some doubt.

Da nn y Hayward (13) and Steven Wi l liams (20) both batted we ll but were unlucky v ictims of a good ca tch and a good run out. Spitter showed that he shou ld ha ve batted at No. l l rath e r than N o. l , and Chr is Be ll (20) added some respec tability to th e tota l with inte ll ig e nt ' tanking' leav ing Trinity a ll out for 12 1.

The ea rly breaks didn't go o ur way and Ken dal l Ha ll slow ly ove rhau led our tot a l, lo sing on ly four wickets. S. W ill iams bowled ve ry we ll and was we ll-supp o rted by P.

Athletics Women Following Trinity's two point loss to Queen's in 1979, everyone was keen to do well this year . Fortunately the rowing season preceded the athle t ics and many' previously deve loped 'rowing musc les' we re a great asset to the team . Krat's and Ruth's strength resulted in victories for both the d iscus and the jave lin events.

Most of the team used exe rcise as the ir pre-event warmup, but as build-up to the shotput event Me lissa chose to consume a five course meal. One more pav lova and it would have been a case of "Move over Gail Mu lhall!"

Xenia, Fi, Rob in and Madele ine ga ined many points in the not so popu lar long distance events, whi le Sally and Vicki sprinted home, nearly to v ictory, in the short distance races.

Meridyn's speed and agility was definitely advantageous in the hurdles - a couple of compet itors from the other colleges wouldn't have gone astray here.

The task of competing against the sideline jeerers, though, was a victory in itself.

Having a competitor in every event and having consistent performances in both the track and field events led to a tremendous victory for the 1980 aths team.

Thanks to the team for their efforts and remarkable performances.

The celebratory party afterwards soon cured the severe bout of dehydration experienced by all members of the team!

Men

1979 saw the 'Fred J. Cato Esq. Shie ld' for Intercolleg ia te Ath letics return to Trin ity College for the f irst t ime since 1960. The noticeab le absence of bot h Ian and Scott Chesterman and six other athletes from last year's team amid rumours of some late movements into N ewman Co ll ege made our fi rst tit le defence a somewhat daunt ing prospect. However, due to the 'woodwork lads' (some previous ly unused ta lent a lready in College that decided to come out of the woodwork) and some talented new b lood, a few gaps were f il led - no reference to the women's team intended - and a reasonable team f ielded on the day. ¡ln the heats Trinity qua lif ied we ll with two in every first division .

Tuesday saw the 3000m run with good efforts by both Michael Traill and Geoff (woodwork) Fox for a third and a f ifth - Newman led by a point.

Prue Loveridge

Wednesday was washed out so the f i nals were held the next day. The first event saw Newman take first and second p laces and a lead of seventeen points. A cred itab le second by Charlie Clark in the 800m and a second and fourth in the 1500m. by M ichael Trai ll and Geoff Fox kept us in the race but Newman seemed to have the edge on the track and enjoyed a twenty-five po int lead midway through the programme .

Howeve r, in the f ield events, a first and third \n the shotpu t by Mike Armstrong and Tim Burgess, a win in the Triple Jump by Steve (woodwork) Williams, and a third in the Jave l in by Roy Preece saw the Newman lead be ing

wh ittled away.

Owing to some depth in the team, the cap tain's policy was to p lace ath letes in only two events if po ssible and rely on fresh runners in the 400m and re lays. Thi s policy paid handsome dividends and saw Trinity storm home to vktory in the last four events.

John (woodwork) Will iams in a newly borrowed pair of sp ikes, won the 400m in great style . The 4x l OOm relay team of Mike Armstrong, Ste¡ve Will iam s, Andrew Maughan and Mike Full e rton scor ed a thrilling win and valuable relay point s and prepar ed the crowd for th e ra ce of the day.

56

The 4x800m relay was started by Mal McConvi lle who ran a good leg to pass the baton on thi rd from Queen's and Newman. The second leg was run by Michael Trai ll who, after some need l ing p laces beh ind Tony Schl icht, extracted the d igi t, ran a personal best by some seven seconds (1.57) a nd handed the baton on f irst by about forty yards . Ian Thru ssel l ma inta ined most of this lead in a good third leg and Char l ie Clark, to the roaring approva l of the crowd, led Tony Schlicht to the fin ish l ine to win by about twenty metres. The t ide had turned, the comeback made and John William s was left to rub in the salt taking first p lace in the d iscus and lifting the team 's win to a comfortable thirty-f ive points.

The presentation of the sh ield was made by the Warden, Evan Burge, and surpr ising ly no t many of the Newman crowd were left to witness this de lightful occas ion.

The reception in the Dining Ha ll was thunderous and it is th e first time in twenty -one years that both the rowing and the ath let ics shields rest behind the High Table - long may they remain . The winning by the women added substan tially to the occasion and though the celebrat ion in the J.C.R. was sma ll (ha, ha !) the hole in the TCAC budget became quite lar ge (ha, ha!) , and whaling see ms to be the new rage.

Thanks must go to ou r Team Manager Alastair Hamer, and officials Simon ("Yes, Mr. Starter") Birkett and Doc O'Callaghan who kept an eye on everyt hing !

Next year, tra ining wil l ne ed to be conducted more seriously still as the bid to retain the shi eld becomes more co mpetitive. So come o ut of the woodwork lads - th e Cato shield keeps our Behan portrai t very good company.

Soccer Pharmaceu t ica ll y speaking, the 1980 Soccer season was a resound ing success . It was the year Trinity won the intercol lege compet ition for the f irst time, Rob in Halls found his vocation in team management, Harry Gill notched over 20 goals, and we used a whole can of Skefron pain relief spray.

The season began well with Charles Pascoe breaking his ank le in the first fifteen seconds of the opening practice session . It was a joy to see the enthusiasm at 6 .30 a.m. practice - my work was cut out to wake both Cheng Lim and Ter ry Jasper on the same morning .

A new-look team took shape : from 23 prospects a 15-man squad emerged, eight of them freshers. We had two successful practice matches against other colleges to give us a taste of the ful l-sized pitch and an insight into our opposition's strength .

The 5-a-side soccer competition gave the public its first view of Alan Hajek in goals. Shot after shot was thwarted by this paragon of defence, but he could not be coaxed into the college side.

The week of competition was an eventful and, except for Friday night, memorable one. Four straight days meant that sen sitive anatomical features, such as shins, had to be closely protected. As the ground became hea v ier the can of Skefron became lighter .

Match one versus St. Hilda's produced a record 18- 0 win for Trinity. Kicking off at the 13- 0 mark one opposing player urged hi s team on with, "Come on St. Hilda 's !

We 've got a reputation to uphold!"

Ne xt day we met Ormond in a closely fought and despe rate game. At two goals all, three m inutes left, the goa lie Roger Bryan horizontal in the mud, an Ormond forward broke through and shot stra ight at goal - to be trapped by Roger. Trinity won 3- 2 in extra time, and one of our players ret ired with a re-shaped ank le .

The sem i-final versus International House was a 6- 1 win to Trinity, and left many players limping towards the Skefron . A rare event was cap tured on film - Harry Gill heading

a goal.

A tactor in this win was the presence of team manager Halls , whose astute, ana lytical remarks can bring down any defence.

Friday afternoon, 2.30 p .m Queen's - Trin ity fina l where a win w ill g ive us the Cowan Cup lead.

Queen's dom inated the opening p lay, sco ri ng the f irst goal. At half-time the match was po ised at one-al \.

A war-cry from supporters and an eloquent "C'mon Trinners!" from the manager gave us impe tus. All players gave l 00 pe r cent, notably an injured Tony Clayworth, and at the final whist le we were 3- l up .

As I retrieved the bal l, I searched for the familiar green and white spray can. A las, it was empty.

For the who le competition we had an average of 30 gaols for, and 4 against. This reflects the spir it and the determination of the part icipants, and the present number of players sho ul d ensure a strong team next year.

The team began th e year with an early disp lay of con fid e nce and so scrapped the usua l l st term matches the seaso n actually start ing with a practice mat ch against Scotch early in 2nd term. Further practice matches against St Kevin's and Geelong Grammar showed the same pattern of stro ng running in th e backs and the usual chaos in the forwards coupled with a classic lack of fitness. The Geelong match was particularly useful in keeping us going for the whole match and we ca me from behind to win l 0- 7 in extra time.

The first inter-col legiate match was aga inst Uni. Col lege where we showed the effects of a long lay-off and won 7- 0 in a match to be forgotten.

The next week, we p layed N ewman (without James Deighton w ho was side li ned by the reta li ation of a Uni Co ll ege fo rward whom he had "sort of k icked" in a ruck) a nd we re rather more effective w ith inters tate imports Rob A damson and Geoff Hamil to n show ing some f ire in the fo rwards. The backs showed some form afte r thei r hun gover pe rformance the prev ious week with the wings A ndrew Cla rk and M ark Rosent ha l putt ing ove r nine tri es.

As it turne d ou t thi s was never a prob le m. W ith James w inn ing good line-out ba ll and Roy Preece do m ina ti ng the loose head scrums the backs go t p len ty of ba ll. M a l McConv ill e had a f ie ld day at ha lf back and comb in ed we ll w ith A lex Ha rpe r to keep the back s mov ing so th a t at ha lf -ti me we had two tri es and led 8- 4 .

The second ha lf began with a tactical stuff-up which sow us in hard defence for f ifteen minutes but ofter that the bocks resumed the attack. With Dove Woinewright making some good runs from full bock and Clarky making two brilliant breaks on the wing, the bocks put over another try to make it 12- 4. Ted kept his record intact {proving he can' t kick while sober) and the score stayed at 12- 4 until the f inal whistle .

The glory for the three tries went to the outside backs w ith one each from Paul Denborough, Andrew Clark and Mork Rosenthal.

It was ve ry much a team win and it was really sat isfying (or "real beaut" in tight forward language) to knock over Ormond and bring home the Rugby Cup. The lo st event of the day was the vote count where Mal McConvill e romped home the best and fairest to w in the R.M. Knowles Trophy.

Swimming Women

Desp ite the g reat Australian tradit ion of sun, surf and swimming, the latter take s a back seat among other Co llege activities. After all it is an event he ld on two night s in succession in April, and in terms of preparation is ve ry much a solitary affair.

So, it is a tribute to a ll who turned out for the time trial s the wee k before the event, and to those who actually competed, that we came equal second behind Queen 's. It is certainly something to don one's bathers in April , baring the lilly-whites long after the summer suntan has faded.

A swimming captain is a lways faced with a di lemma: does one give everyone a sw im , or doe s one attempt to construct a team which has a maximum chance of success?

The latter always wins o ut , since we are in the compe tition w ith the u lt ima te aim of scoring the Ho lm es Shield and Tick ner Cup. Th is is not to denigrate from the worth of ind iv idual participation , wh ich is ce rtain ly at a premium.

But it is recogni sed among those w ho try out for teams th at the most able w ill be cho sen, w hi ch mak es the capta in 's job of se lec t ion so much easier .

Af te r a two point loss to Ormond lasf year, the Trinit y swimmers were determined to w in the Trophy back in 1980 . Unfortuna tely, the dates were set for Apri l 9th (heats) and Apr i l l 0th (fi nal s). Th is was immediat e ly after Easter which caused training problems.

Feel ing the lo ss of Ian Dungey, we set out to put a tea m together . With a bit of persuasion, Bruce Rodan was forced off the books and into the pool. But Roy " Perko" Preece didn't need his arm twisted . He' d already been swimming all summer a nd was obviously building hi s fitness up for a good dip, sha llow d ive a nd powerful strokes on the night. Wi th the thought of some more free beer in m ind, Rob " Windmill" Warn ock gave it anothe r try th is year . His efforts paid off. Ter ry "Yank" Mason de cided that he'd much rather swim in N aughton's than in the pool, but proved him self wor th y of a place.

Volleyball Men With the nucleus of last year's losing final side still inta ct and with some clever international recruiting it certainly seemed that the Trinity men were about to make their mark on intercollegiate volleyball.

We had trained hard and successfully (especially after Sullivan 'd id ' his ankle and could no longer attend), and such dedication certainly produced results in our ve ry comfortable first round win over a weak J.C.H. side.

Into the sem i-final against Newman went a quietly confident Trinity team. At two sets down, however, the boys decided their pride was at stake and began to produce some excellent volleyball.

Cheng repeatedly bombed the opposition with powerful spikes, Arch stopped sett ing with hia stomach and John finally realised that the court did not extend half-way up the back wall and a grand Trinity comeback was underway. ' Tummy' Bell was sett ing well for the Newman lads although he did keep Rob's itchy right hand well fuelled with good spikeable material and Tim's precision spikes were a delight to watc h .

But, alas, our comeback was not to be, and we were finally defeated by a better Newman team in the two hour, five set epic match.

Finall y, sincere thank s to all those who gave us support during the games and to Cheng for his advice.

Women Although initiall y hampered by the lack of a captain (lost through illn ess) and a muck-up regarding the date of competition (giving us, in stead of. the planned three weeks training, a mere handfu l of days) - the 1980 Women 's Volleyball team struggled on, determined to make an even g reater effort at demonstrating their prowess in the art of punching, digging and spiking.

Sal Carruthers came to the rescue after severa l desperate phone calls from Mt Martha, and took over as captain / coach. She did an admirable job in speedily ra l lying up and enthusing a mob of girls and, with the aid of a few practices and her experience from last year, forming a competent and optimistic team.

Not having been present at the actual match, I asked Sal to recount what happened: " In our first game we certainly put up a fight, with Melissa's boomer of a serve and Debbie spiking well at the net. Angie kept winning that all-needed point with Jud y diving to the ground for the 'a lmost' impossible return. Ho wever, even with all this, along with Lynd say's determination and Andrea's 'out-of-the -hat-tricks ', we couldn't clinch the match point - but we tried for Caroline and Trinity!"

Thank s Sal and her va liant volleyba llers ...

Basketball Men

The 1980 Intercollegiate Basketball season was a dismal affair as far as the Trinit y team was conce rn ed not only our own performance but the compet it ion itself.

Firstly, for the second time in three years, we lost our captain before the competition started. However to Jim 's credit, he still found more timethonthe rest of us to coach and organ ise the team. Also, the previously lost captain, Brett Sullivan, returned with an inspiring and very gutsy game, playing w ith a broken thumb against Newman.

Our first game against Whitley saw the introduction of several new players. John "X-marks-the-spot" Carapetis proved his worth from the base line and Ivan Bastian showed he cou ld handle a fast break as well on court as on a surfboard. Other new faces were James Ga.lbraith (yet another Med) and "mutton-dagger" Sevior whose spinn ing lay-up could get him in to the Australian Ballet Company . As well we had several old stagers: Terry "Towling" Mason, noted for his controlled falling on his ankle and John "Fouls" Forsyth, not noted for any control at all, provided the height. Meanwhile Roy Preece, noted for his psychadelic green shorts, provided the lack of height.

The semi-f inal against Newman is best forgotten and we apologise to Neil for having to witness the ugly debacle. The game showed our inability to counter a press. It also helped show that a knock-out competition does not wo rk as well as the previously used round robin system for basketball which is a major sport after all.

Our thanks to Jim, it's certa in ly not his fault we d idn ' t improve on third place . Also thanks to Neil for his hints, we all have at least learned more about the game. Finally thanks to supporters who often tried to get into the game themselves by overstepping the sid eline.

Women To say briefly, the women's basketba ll season was brief! After rigorous months of energet ic training 5 a.m. starts, cross-country runs, warm -ups in the we ight lifting room, swimming in the even ing - the hand -picked proteges of their coach Roy Preece finally got around to discovering what the game was a ll about. Alas! Too late.

In desperat ion those young hopefuls va li antly charged up and down the court in a brilliant but unsuccessful effort to topple Whitley College's narrow lead, the result of some unbelievably lu cky shooting (what else?) . Despite the fact that the majority of Trinity's girls were relat ively new to this 'rough' sport, most did surpr isingl y well and fought back with every means ava ilable to them : thanks Penny M, Karen F, Ruth H. As for the diehards, it was obvious ly just a bad day - keep the tradition of basketba ll going in College next year Alison G . and Sharon 0. The game must have appeared more dangerous than it actua lly is, for certainly Sarah P. and Anni R. disappeared that day when they were most needed!

Anyway, it was a glorious (but short) fight. Finally, and still ear ly in the morning, the merry band of bruised faithfuls marched back to College ... there's always next year.

Tennis Men Training started we ll with a lot of freshers keen to gain a place in the famous Trinity College Men's Tennis Team (more prestigious than being a member of the Davis Cup team), and the 'oldies' were in good form after playing the Australian circuit over the summer .

After many weeks of intensive train ing and compe tition, the team was picked, and these six decided it was tim e to extract the racquet handle and win th is year. So it was democrat1 "caily dec ided by the ca ptain that an ear ly morn in g tra in in g session before breakfast was in o rd e r. Thi s was ve he mently protested by 'Snorkler' Tra ill , .who cla imed it wo uld upset his nocturnal activities .

Our first ma tch against Uni. College was a farce as they rearranged the order of their team so that Willlie and Buzz had close matches with their numbers f ive and six respertive ly.

The next match was the sem i-f inal aga inst Queen's, and even though we did have a training session befo re breakfast they were too good for us and Trinity bowed out of the competit ion.

My thanks to the team, and a ll the others who trained, for their t ime and effort.

With what was probably our strongest sid e we gave them a real run for their money and if th e last two games of the last set played had gone our way we would have had a chance of creaming St Mary 's . But, need le ss to say, the Queen's side was a bit too good. Thank you to all those who came to watch, I'm sure you had an exc iting morning's tennis and I w ish next year's team 'the best of luck.

Trin ity, even tu a lly won the dec id ing third match (the first two were dec lared void due to a successful appea l by both sides) 144- 122 on po ints, with the ma tch score dead locked at 2- 2.

We rece ived no mercy from the draw, being paired against Int ernational Hou se in the sem i-fina l. Trinity put !JP a brave fight early on, but were ult imately no match for the defending champions, and wen t down 1- 3 . Some found it impossib le to distingui sh between the two teams (until they saw us play) as Trini ty bas its own Malaysian pseudo -stars, Cheng and Harry, who played in the singles, and pa ired up in the doubles. The other doub les pai r co mprised two of John Forsyth, Paul Denborough, Darren Coulson or Steve Harper (who was also captain), depending on their availability . Although not highly successful, it wa s an eventful and enioyable season.

Our confidence was further boosted when, at the beginning of Term 2, Paul Rank in moved in to College . The first round aga inst St. Hilda's was a formality for some and a struggle for others. Rob, Buzz and I didn ' t over-exert ourselves but Paul met up with a bit of competition against a State 2 p lay e r and John decided that five sets was more fun than Naughton's.

The second match against I.H. was delayed for some time on the night, because we doubted their authenticity.

However we were reassured of their Asian content when the few supporters turned up, and p lay was soon underway. Andrew Clark, a new inclusion, overcame the initial first match nerves to have a good win. Rob, Buzz and I didn't raise a sweat in minimising the number of points our opponents won to luck. Paul"s opponent was so over-awed that he didn't even front.

For a week we all psyched ourselves up and when the nig .ht came around we were well prepared. Again, the night got off to a late start when a messenger had to be sent to Queen's for our number 5. Andrew started badly but fought back we ll to win a match he would lik e to dedicate to the man who removed his strings before th e last game. We we re off to a great star t but it was then that the rot set in. Rob's opponent played a very t ight game and even after much line and length couldn't win. During Rob's match concern was expressed at the scratches on his legs . After a concentrated inspection of fingernails around College the culprit was found miaowing at Arthur's door.

Buzz struck a very fit player who return ed every thin g and hi s lack of fitness, due to a co ld, and th e fact that he'd had beans for dinner took its toll. I wasn't prepared for an

Table Tennis

What a great year!? Unfortunately not. This year, due to I.C.S.C. judg ement beyond our contro l, the format of the intercol legia te table -te nni s competi tion has changed from the past years. We now p lay w ith 3 team members who eqcb play all three of th e opposing team, and then two pairs of doubles play. Thi s system mean that the depth of th e team is no longer important thus favouring th e sma ll er co lleges with one good player.

In our case we had four good p layers consisting of Roy Preece, Rob Warnock, Buzz Bayley and a new addition to th e team, Pau l Denborough.

Mik e Traill made up the reserves and I was forced to fo l low th e 1979 precedent by dropping the previous year's capta in who never showed ''5 hi~ fo rm , sorry again Steve.

Our firs t encounter was in the new St Hilda 's T-T Room against St. Mary's. It was tight al l night with you rs truly losing all his singles but, due to some cons istent playing

by Roy, Rob and great wins in th e doubles, we pulled through gain in g a place in th e next round .

Unfortunately, we weren't as successful going down to J.C.H. narrowly after so m e dynamic play in the doubles again.

I must thank the team (all thr ee of them) for a very cred itabl e performance and also the supporters who cheered us on. With a ltitl e more practice and re-location of the T-T table I hope next year's team can achieve greate r heights than our dozen bottles of commiserat ion beers.

But this was not to be . Seeded into the second round, we slowly and arduously fought our way to defeat against the deceptively amiable J.C.H. gir ls, accompanied by the om inous ping-pong noises of those evergreen 'spectators', Chunky et al, holding a riva l court in the next room . I suppose I could find all sorts of excuses to rationalise the ensuing unhappy ending - your hearts would just dribble peanut butter to know that the chiropractic wristbands didn't arrive, the hand les were sort of sl ick ... but rea ll y, I think the rea l reason to wh ich the D and W 's qu ick tr ip to obscurity can be attributed is the merciless crowding of so man y sports into such a short space of time in first term.

In a burst of unprecedented enthusiasm, a group of 20 footballers were coerced into College for the last week of the first term break, for a week of intensive training. As the oval reverberated to the strains of Frank ' s earnest entreaties to "Push!" and "Harder!" one could see the genesis of a powerful running combination, a la North Melbourne .

This was first unleashed on a smallish Melbourne Grammar side, which the boys in green accounted for by a margin of 10 goals. The match was notable for our straight kicking (16.4), and the spectacular play of Michael Armstrong an,d Andrew Clar k, reliving their past by taking "speckies" in front of hordes of idolatrous schoolboys.

A second practice match, against a keen, but top heavy, old boys side, and then to the first encounter against Queen's.

Two disturbing thoughts emerged at the end of the first quarter of this game : (a) the quarter had taken 37 minutes to play, and (b) the scoreboard registered 1.10 against Trinity's name .

There was no relief in sight as, aided by the Mickey Mouse hands on Mark Jensen's watch , the second term dragged on for a murderous 42 minutes. This proved fortuitous, as a run of goals inspired by the straight kicking of Al Hamer, led to a reviva l 10 minutes into time-on.

"Snaggers" by Sullivan, Denborough and Thomas, meant a quarter time deficit of five goals had been turned into a 2 point advantage at the long break.

The running continued in the third quarter with Hayward and Maughan creating the loose man from the centre, providing goal opportunities in the forward line.

A comfortable 20 point lead at three quarter time disappeared as cramp struck at three of Trinity's finest.

First Sullivan (thigh) , then Traill (calf) and finally Chamley (three legs simultaneously), went down.

A courageous Queen's figh lback saw scores leve l w ith two minutes to play, before match-winning behinds from Denborough and Sevier.

Chamley,

After two weeks of postponement, the scene was set for an epic encounter between the Anglicans and the Micks.

The first half of this game bears only cursory treatment.

Newman's aggression, and the walking pace of the famed Trinity running game, meant the half -time siren saw us faced with on 11 goal leeway.

In the best 60 minutes of football the team played for the year, a magnificent comeback saw Trinity fight to within 20 points of the Catholics in the last quarter.

Danny Hayward played a brilliant third quarter, and goalsneak Nigel Hen ham made the most of his chances to finish with 5 goals . Inspired by John Williams' strength in the ruck, and Maughan's courageous roving , the whole team lifted to outgun Newman in the second half by 1O goals to 5.

The final margin of six goals could have been less, were it not for the fa il ure of a certain umpire to avoid Duncan Thomas in full flight, and a succinct summation of the same umpire's mental capab il ities by Charlie Ferrall, leaving the team one man short for 20 minutes of the last half.

The side went into the Ormond game strenglhened by the inclusion of Abbott and Tuohey, and confident of victory .

Goals by Denborough and John Williams in the first 5 minutes of play took Trinity to lhe only lead 1hey held all day. Down by 9 goals lo 4 al half lime , lhe much vounled Trinily comeback did not even luole.

Erstwhile All Stars Preece and Sevior taught more "senior" players a lesson in determination , but could do litt!e to halt a disastrous last quarter which saw Ormond swamp the goals to score 14 goals to our 6.

The only incident to lighten a dismal day was when a fierce Manner tackle reduced Jim Abbott to a G-string, to the muffled cries of shock, horror (and delight) from the Trinity female contingent.

Ormond 29 .17.191 Trinity 11.8.74 BEST: S. Williams, Hayward, Lanyon, Preece, Sevior .

GOALS: Denborough 2, Bell 2 Spectator support for the football was outstanding, and we look to better things next year with the bulk of the first 18 staying in College.

Special thanks are due to Frank , who battled rain , anti Catholic bigotry and pre -season apathy to produce a closeknit, running football team.

Allstars The standard of football in the All Stars this year was far higher than previous years and although we probably had the best Allstars team in my four years in College, we won only one of the four games we played.

The first game against St. Hilda's was very successful.

We completely creamed them! In a game of many highlights Paul Denborough took nine marks and dominated centre-half forward. " Perker " Preece was shifted from the wing to the back pocket. Not letting this get him down, he made a brilliant 80m run from the goal square to the wing and then kicked the ball into fullforward. The sensation of the day was J1Jmes Deighton's brilliant attempted "Jezza" where he jumped onto the top of a big pack of players and seemed to hang there for hours. Unfortunately he crashed to the ground with cramp in both legs without gelling within l O metres of the ball!

Overall we were far too fast and skilled for St. Hilda's, cutting them to pieces with many fast passages of handball .

We ran up against a much bigger and better team in ou r second game against University College. The game was ployed in poo re r condit io ns and we found ii difficult to get our running game going in the mud on the Smith ova l.

We had lost our star centre half-fo rward Paul Denborough , promoted to the "certainty" lists for the f irsts and hence we lacked height around the ground.

However, we jumped them in the first quarter and raced to a two goal lead at quarter time. We lost a lot of ground in th e second quarter when the bockline faltered under ¡ pressure and Uni kicked five goals to our two to be one goa l up at half-time. W e fought a l ittle harder in the third quarter but were 2 goa ls 3 points down at three -quart e r tim e. At th is stage, Fran k " Bara ssi" Hanagan gave an inspired address and we kicked two quick goals at the start of the final quarter to hove a chanc 7 of winning . This set the stage for a ten se last quarter. _In the f inal analysis, however , our backline wasn't gooct enough and in the mud we couldn't use our pace to best advantage against a generally taller and bigger side.

Our th ird game was against much fanc ied Whitl ey College the day after the Trinity Ball. The All Stars were renamed the Interim Trinity Temperance Un io n . M ost players paid no attention to this temporary cha ng e of name (yours truly being one of them) and got co mple te ly p issed . So most of us were fee ling pretty "tired" before the game even started. The start of game was delayed one and a quarter hours owing to th e lack of a ground to play on . We made good use of this, giving us mu ch needed time for our headaches to subside.

Our final game was against Kenda ll Hall with Trinity a much weaker side as our stars had departed for the firsts.

Howeve r we fought hard against a much bigger side .

Although beaten we were not disgraced as Kenda ll Hal l went on to beat Newman by 63 po ints in the f in a l of the com petit io n.

Final Scores: TRIN ITY 3.6 - 18 KENDALL HALL 11 .13 -

Best : Pree ce, Bastion , Rosenthal, Fullerton , Long.

Overall we had a ve ry good team and we we re unlucky not to do better. Our lack of he ight was m o re than compensated by our "b li ste ring " pace and clever use of handball. I must thank Mi ke Traill for time he put in as first's captain and Frank " Barassi " Hanagan for coaching us. I thorough ly enjoyed being Captain of th e Al l Stars and I wish next year's team eve ry success.

Jeff Coul son was star ring at full forwa rd having kicked thr ee goa ls and taken some spectac ular marks . Our play-on game was working wel l w ith many fas t passages of handball. The second and third quarte rs had Whitley overtaking us as their bigger playe rs began to get on top. The effects of the Ball slowed down our running players. The Trini ty captain at this stage was a great inspiration to his team. He tried his guts o ut and in tact empt ied them onto the field twice - the victim of a post-Ball hangove r. We were seven points down at three-quarter time. Could we com e back ? Once again we were fired up by a great addres s at three -quarter time and kicked two goals to go five points up half -way through the last quarter . But we were over -run in the end a s our hangovers got the bett er of us. Curse that Bal l!

Men Time: Tuesday, l st July, 5 a.m.

Place: One expectant golf captain's Noise: That bluddy alarm clock .

dark room.

Upon falling out of bed, and undertaking the daily exercise of drop-k icking the alarm clock into 327 pieces , it came to me the importance of this day. We were to represent our beloved college at golf. Proudly , I picked myself from off the fl oor, and promptly fe ll over a stray winder, or was it the ou ter end of the hour hand? No matter, I picked myself up for the second time, muttering obscenities usually rese rv ed for a missed six inch putt, and proceeded to raise the six other troopers from their bunks.

Roll call on the Bulpadok was undertaken , with Messrs Jasper, Cook, Hayward, Clark , Denborough and Thrussell present, with just Mr Coulson absent, stil l clinging to his beloved pillow.

Although the result was disappointing, it was primarily due to the fact that the other colleges were just too good for us. Thanks to all those who turned out to the practices, especially M ike F. for coming out of retirement, Hallsy for the comedy act (he called it a swing) and Eric for his enthusiasm.

Women Finally the sacred seven departed, prepared for their conquer of Wood lands: their blistering drives, pinpointed irons and immaculate putting. Forgotten were the colds caught practicing in the rain, the hours spent looking for stray ba l ls, the windies off first tee ("At least the swing was good" T.C.) and the millions (literally) of bunker shots which failed to emerge.

The sun eventually rose, and we hit off, generally at 45 degree ang les to the des ired d irec tions. As the sun got higher, so did our scores. Our b lister ing drives burst into any shrub or gully in sight, our pinpo int irons pinned down every bunker on the course and the putts seemed int ent on rolling uphill.

Thus the outcome was a disappointing sixth out of eleven competing teams . Queen's took the honours from Int ernationa l Hou se, St. Hilda' s, Newman and (begrudgingly) Ormond. Our scores assured us all of spots in next year's cricket team, especially Trevor "Bradmon" Cook who scored 119 , and com mented on his "va lue for money" and how he'd improved the course by enlarging five bunkers with hi s wedqe.

This year our champion team was fo rced to get up at 5.30 a.m. in order to get to the course at the assigned time. This inconven ien ce affected the players adverse ly, except of course the ever faithful Cynnie Glen who came up with yet another good score. By the time the 18 holes had been played we had hit too many shots to become the victors and had to be conten t with second place. Oh well, thanks Helen , Fi and Cynnie - you did a good job (just wait till next year).

Hockey Men The Trinity hockey team had a very mixed Year 1980, generally favourable, but not without disappointment.

The goal-of-the -year, the inter-collegiate premiership, was pursued with great vigour. From the start, there was natural keenness in most players, and a reasonable amount of talent. By the time we arrived at our last game, the whole team was brimming with enthusiasm, and most of us were even fit!

The team had a ser ies of practice matches, which should have extended a deal further but for some mid season rain. We lost all four matches against select opposition, but gained valuable match practice, as intended.

Newman was the next opponent.

We were very determined to win and took the offensive for most of the day. But, a las, it was Sunday, and the Catholic Church was in full stride. They stole the lead early in the second half with a crisp short corner. The late stages of the game was something to be remembered. A lovely move on the left

by Darryl Chambers, a well placed push by Cheng Lim but the goalie just got his pads to it. A desperate short corner, again warded off, and that was it. Full marks to Newman - final score: 0-1 defeat. (Best: S. Buckmaster, R. Barnard, N . Gelber).

Back: D. Barnes, C . Lim, D. Ross, D. Chambers, J. Gill, N. Gelber, J. Royston, E. Bilson.

Front: S. Buckmaster, R. Preece , D. Coulson , H. Gill (Capt), J. Hawke

We had a bye into the quarter finals of the inter collegiate competition where we took on Whitley. We were full of confidence, and had to be shaken back down to earth. We were totally outp layed in the first half, but they did not manage to score. In the second half, it was Lou Richard's classical "ring -a-ding-ding" game. And the crowd was enough to make us all feel like Peter Moore or better, giving the match a grand final aura . We scored twice and they equalised twi ce . . . the tension mounted and their centre-half cursed! Finally, Dave Barnes put an end to Whitle y with the winner, minutes from the end. In fact, Barnsey got al l three goa ls; the first, a supe rbl y constructed and finished goa l, the second, a penalty flick and the third , I was too ecstatic to retain. His performance, despite periodic cramp in g of both legs, frustrated the opposition, their poor sportsmanship testified to this (Best: S. fee ling . The end result: a 3- 2 victory.

Buckmaster, H. Gill, D. Barnes).

Congratulations to Simon Buckmaster for earning the Best and Fairest award and for o memorable season in which he displayed much of his enormous potential. Nick Gelber gave great support on 0nd off the field , as exofficio captain. Rod Barnard lost a coup le of yards in pace, and gained it in belly, but his powerful hits have lost nothing v11h01soever. Jim Royston's energy and his rum down the let,, are unmatched . John Hawke and Dave Ross provided undying enthusiasm. Darryl, E\arnesy and Jeff proved 10 be worthy acquisi tions. Cheng showed w hat a fine team man he is, and it is my belief that there is still a vast reserve of untapped talent in him.

Thanks to a ll of them, and also to the Hock ey Appreciation Society, those four admirable and affable , g in and tanked gentlemen , who were in their e lement (and their dinner suits) throughout.

~H.A.s.~ As the sun has pr ogressiv ely set ove r th e once glorious British Empir e, plunging th e pla y ing fi elds of Eton, Oxford and th eir colonial off wring into cultura l darknes , a wave of pagan rituals began to take a firm gr ip in the very roots of our civilization, the training ground s for our futur e leade rs, the source of our hope for tomo rrow - the colleges of Melbourne University. ,Football, Rugby, R om an Catholicism and other su ch heat h en pra ct ices were running rife in these inst itutions; the last bastions, th e remaining corner of the world where there was sti ll a faint glimm er of Mot her En gland's form er glory.

1980 came and with it the stir ring s of chan ge. A sma ll but strong flam e of hope was rek indl ed in the heart. of some inspired Trinity Collegians. Trinit y College, that Anglo-Saxon refugee camp in the midst of a sea of Asian and European reiects, witnessed a long-awaited rebirth of feverish sporting spectatorship with a touc h of religious f anaticis m. Armed with gin and tonics and a / ew selected classics from th e Book of Commo n Pra ise, the Trinit y College H ock ey Apprecia tion Society set forth on Ro ya l Park shatt erin g any hop es f or a detent e bet ween Trinit y and Newman . Th e Christ ian crw;ad es of the 12th centur y pal ed into insignificance as our valiant players responded to the zea lous cry of 'Play up! and Play the Game!"

However, sin ce we are on ly witnessing the early days of thi new renaissance, it is exc i~sable that our m en did not pur ge on to a cru hin g victory ove r th e undesirabl e, obnoxious ... * elem en ts of Coll~ge Cresce nt. But in 19 81, the Hockey Appreciation ociety - with a radicall y reform ed con titution allowi;1g new members - will be bach to lead the way in thi s new age of cultural refin em ent and en ligh tenment.
