1967 THE OPEN DOOR

It is over half a century since the Swinburne Boys' and Girls' Schools were established as two sep­arate institutions under the one Council with Mr. J. R. Trenthim-Fryer as the first Director. The Boys' School began

on the 31st March, 1913 with an enrolment of 42, the first permanent Head­master being Mr. Donald McKay. The school occupied the

building where the Main Office is now located on the ground floor and the Commerce classrooms on the first floor. The Girls' School, the

first of its kind in Vic­toria, was established in March, 1916 when the late Mrs. George Swinburne financed the purchase of a two-storied house to be converted for school use as an experiment in girls' technical education. The building was on the

comer of John Street and Burwood Road where the Ethel Swinburne Centre now stands. Miss B. L. Blackmore

was the first Headmistress and there were sixty pupils. Now these two schools

are to combine in one co­educational institution. It would be idle to pre­

tend that the immediate reason for this is anything other than pressure of circumstance. As there is not sufficient

space in the area east of William Street for the buildings required by two separate schools at the secondary level, either the boys and.girls must com­bine in one enlarged build­ing on the Boys' site with a total enrolment reduced to about 800; or the girls must move to some other locality. The College Council, in

consultation with the Ed­ucation Department, has decided to follow the former course.

CO-EDUCATION Though this change in

policy is being made be­cause of shortage of ac­commodation, there are sound arguments support­ing co-educational schools at the secondary level. Some authorities con­

tend that the other type, where boys attend one school and girls another, has something unnatural about it. They point out that at home, in

primary schools and at institutions of higher education the sexes are not seg­regated in this way and claim that they should not be segregated in secondary schools. In any case, co-education is no in­

novation in this College, where girls have joined boys in classes at certain levels and in certain subjects for many years. If you are puzzled by my statement

above, that there will be insufficient room for both girls' and boys' schools in 1968, when you know that the area owned by the College is growing year by year, the key word is "secondary". The type of education that this College

seems destined to specialize in is the education that follows the secondary school. This means that whereas the Boys' and

Girls' School will remain at the same size as they are now, the expansion that must take place will be in the diploma schools. This pattern of change has been going

on for many years. When I was appointed to Swinburne in 1945, 79 per cent of the full-time student enrolment of 783 attended what we now call Forms I to V. This year, of the total full-time enrol­

ment of 2,000 only 42 per cent is in the secondary section. The effect of all this is seen in the

allotment of buildings and grounds. Just as the area that the Girls' School

occupied from Miss Blackmore's first classes until nine years ago is now de­voted to Diploma School activities, so the area it now occupies is required for an extension of Diploma School buildings. This is not unfair to the girls, as some

of you might think, seeing that many pupils from the Girls' School will occupy the new building as Diploma students. It is jast an indication how the pattern

of education is changing. In a very short time, long before most of you are ready for tertiary education, two import­ant buildings should grace the present site of the Girls' School: a Commerce and

MR. B. R. HAMES, DIRECTOR

Humanities building close to the railway line, and a library at the southern end of the block. To accommodate both

boys and girls in the one co-educational school, the present plan is to build a wing similar in size to the present Boys' School ex­tending from the eastern end of that school to Bur­wood Road. It is not intended that

the new wing should ac­commodate girls only, while boys use the present building, but that the two halves of the building should work as one unit, catering for a completely co-educational school. Naturally specialist

rooms for girls, such as kitchen and dressmaking rooms, will be included in the new wing. Greater and more diver­

sified amenities for boys, too, will be provided when the proposed building has been completed. I hope that the present

plan to have the building available by 1969 will be realized so that a large proportion of the pupils at present in the Boys' and Girls' Schools will be able to use the facilities of the new building before they leave the school. B. R. HAMES,

JUNIOR SCHOOL REPORTS If you are one of the

girls who is leaving the school either because you have come to the end of the Secondary Section or because you just cannot stay at school any longer, may I wish you every suc­cess in your future wherever you may be.

It is far better to have had the exper­ience of participating than not to have tried at all. M y thanks too, to the

members of staff who give up their time to helping girls whether it be on the sporting field or in the school.

SWINBURNE SPIRIT Each year towards

the time when maga­zine articles are due, comes the problem, "What shall I write for 'Open Door' ?" Perhaps the answer

is for the Headmistress to write a series and reproduce them over a cycle of say five years. Writing down the

names of the people whom I wish to thank for their loyal service to the school during the year, there seemed to be a certain similarity about them. Analysing it, I found

that the spirit per­vading them all was one of cheerfulness and a pleasant smile that went with each task accomplished. Whether it be from

the youngest member of Form I, who is willing to do a mess­age, right through to our very busy Director, Mr. Hames, there is a cheerful smile and a helpful word.

This spirit pervades every department of the College, the Clean­ing, Maintenance, Pub­lishing, Boys' School, Clerical Staff, Parent and Teachers' Associar tion, the new Mothers' Club and of course our own Girls' School Staff. Whenever I hear or

think of the name of Swinburne, I will re­member the spirit of friendliness and help­fulness that pervades the whole College.

I hope that some of the friendliness and helpfulness that I feel is the essence of the College will have brushed on to you, and that you will go out in­to the world and pass on this spirit to others. Sometimes it is

easier to whine and grizzle than to com­plete a task and smile, but the latter way will make for greater happiness for all. Changes are inevi­

table, and there will be many in 1968. During this year the

Girls' School gradually moved east away from the Western Block of the College. Next year there will

be a move east again, until by 1969 there will be only senior students in the central block and the Girls' School will have joined with the Boys' School in William street. It appears that be­

fore the new wing on the Boys' School is built and in use, there will be many changes and many difficulties to overcome. To all those girls

who have taken part in activities in the school during the year: may I congratulate you and thank you, whether you were the winner or the loser or merely the participant when there was no competition.

If I were to mention by name all the people who have assisted me during the year I am afraid that the Editor would have to extend the magazine. Instead, I will say,

"my sincerest thanks to you all". I would, however, like to say a special thank you to the Senior Administra­tive Staff and m y very loyal, long suffering staff without whose co­operation and help the school could not func­tion.

To those members of staff who will not be with us next year, my very best wishes for success wherever you may be. To Prefects, Form

Captains and Sports Captains: "Thank you for a job well done". When this magazine

reaches you the school year will be at a close, and Christmas will be upon us. May I wish all those

who have borne with me and read to the end of the article, the compliments of the season and a most successful year in 1968 wherever you may be. MISS J. F. ELTHAM

What use are report books? Why bother with them? Do adults place too much

importance on them? The answer to these and

many similar questions is im­portant, and could well form the basis of future changes in reporting on students. However, whether students

like the idea or not, there will be reports prepared for all boys at our school and these reports together with the subject marks will be written into their report books. Most boys will be quite

happy about their reports; but for some, this will be the blackest day of their year. Apart from the personal

feeling of failure felt by these boys, they will have to face up to their parents' dis­appointment. In some cases "report book

day" turns into a rather torrid day of reckoning.

Whether the report of the year's work is good or bad, the family and close friends share in their boy's progress. If satisfactory, or better,

everyone is pleased. If progress is unsatisfac­

tory, those who are ambitious for him are naturally dis­appointed because they know that his future will be deter­mined by his rate of progress in each school year. It should help each boy in

his striving to improve his results, to know the real im­portance of his report book. First of all he will need to

realize which persons will want to see this book, then he can work out what in­formation each person will seek when they look at it. It goes without saying that

the most important person who will ever look at the re­port book is the owner. Actually this is the official

report and reference which tells of his progress through school. His future either in em­

ployment or at further study will, to a marked degree, be decided by the story it tells. The boy therefore wants

his report book to show that he had earned the best marks that he is able to obtain. A favourable report on his reliability, good character, conduct, leadership, etc. is important.

Further, the entry headed "Times Late" should be a very small number if a reader is to be convinced that he is of punctual habits. Obviously each boy re­

quires the best overall report he can muster. Next in importance to

read the report book are the boy's parents. Generally their first look is at what the teachers have to say about their boy. I know that this is what

I do when report book time arrives in our household. When looking at the sub­

ject marks they comment on very high marks and on failures. Actually the full report

tells the boy's parents how he is managing and in some cases, alerts them that all is not well and that their help and guidance is needed. When a boy reaches the

stage in his career of desiring to enrol at another school to further his studies, his marks, particularly those in English, Mathematics and Science, are critically asses­sed in an endeavour to gauge the boy's potential at higher studies. Once the boy has cleared

the marks hurdle, the per­sonal reports are read to determine that he rates as a good school citizen. How critically do employ­

ers look over an applicant's report book? No general answer is

possible as all people are different. The routine followed by a

leading Melbourne employer might give a guide to boys as to the importance of the re­port book as judged by em­ployers. When interviewing appli­

cants for employment, he looks at their results to satisfy himself that the boys are of average intelligence and educated to a standard required for the jobs offered.

This is the easy part of his task. At this stage he has not

made any attempt at selec­tion, he has simply made cer­tain that the applicants are of the required educational standard. From these boys he must

then sort out which one of these apparently equally ac­ceptable boys would be the best employee for his firm. Experience has taught him

that his next step towards making his final choice is to look at the written reports for evidence of such personal qualities as good character, steady and reliable worker, initiative, leadership, etc. It is on this assessment of

personal qualities and per­sonal interviews that he makes his final choice. I have said sufficient to

leave no doubts in any boy's mind as to my opinion that the report book is a very important document. As it is the official school

report of the owner's pro­gress through the school, it is invaluable as the key to gain admission to suitable employment and to other schools for higher study. I would like to take this

opportunity of thanking all members of teaching staff, canteen, religious instruction and P.T.A. for their loyal and willing co-operation throughout the year.

In particular I wish to thank our Senior Master, Mr. H. S. Oakley, for his inval­uable help and co-operation over the past three years and congratulate him on his promotion to the position of Headmaster of Box Hill Technical School. The Prefects, Form Cap­

tains, House Captains and Monitors have my thanks for their leadership and assist­ance. M y thanks to all the

students for co-operation in school matters and their ob­servance of the school rules. I would like to wish one

and all the 'Compliments of the Season' and to the mem­bers of our staff and students who are leaving us, success in the future.

MR. C. E. BAWDEN HEADMASTER BOYS' SCHOOL

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION TUESDAY THEOLOGY

The Oxford Dictionary defines theology as the science of religion, and it is therefore fitting that it be discussed each week in a college in which sciences play a major role. A voluntary staff of six clergymen with

notable assistance from college staff, and in­telligent participation by many of the students have combined to make 1967 a year of con­siderable progress towards a satisfactory level of instruction in this subject.

It is appropriate too that in a school in which the scientific explanation of "how" is readily available, there should also be the means of hearing the Christian and Jewish explanation of "why".

While not claiming to have all the answers, the instructors have deliberately encouraged questions and discussions, while at the same time following the agreed syllabus of the Government of Victoria. Whatever individual opinions of Christianity

might be held, it is surely part of any good education tor students to become acquainted with the basic elements of a religion which has the major formative influence of our national life.

It is equally certain that our students can­not live in a vacuum created by any indecision to refrain from influencing them in matters of belief, because there will always be other forces at work striving to gain the attention of all who are impressionable.

To hold the initiative is the mark of any effective educator, and it is the responsibility of the Council of Christian Education in schools to do just this.

However promising the present arrange­ments might be, it is obvious that a college of the size and importance of our own should have the services of a full-time chaplain.

Increasing demands are being made upon the youth of today, and it is only right that they should have the benefit of the pastoral oversight which a trained chaplain can give.

Students talk far more freely to those who belong to the school, and who would teach them over a period of several years.

Under the voluntary system they have a different instructor each year and it is difficult to establish more than a passing contact.

It is good to report that arrangements are well in hand for the appointment of a chaplain before the end of 1968, and this project has been generously fostered and supported by the college council and the parents' committee.

Voluntary instructors will continue to assist with class work and this will mean an exten­sion of facilities to forms beyond the first three covered under their present system.

At the beginning of the school year and during Education Week, services were held for the two main Christian groups and for Jewish. students. Apart from the more obvious considerations,

these helped to emphasize the corporate nature

of life at Swinburne, and we are particularly fortunate in having churches of impressive size and not inconsiderable claims to aesthetic taste in both music and architecture.

It is hoped that the college will make even greater use of them in future years.

FACING THE CHALLENGE This island continent that you and I call home is a giant that has been sleeping since before the dawn of history but is now showing signs of waking up fast.

In the past few years undreamt of mineral wealth has come to light inside and around our snores, and the education explosion has shaken the country to its foundations. Recent developments in nearby nations have spurred us on to take a hard look at who we are and where we are going.

This all contributes towards making the work of Swinburne increasingly important and adds to the students' exciting prospect of guiding an awakening giant into the great unknown of tomorrow.

At the same time we should not be deaf to the challenge issued to us by Jesus Christ to make the right choice between turning in on ourselves in ever increasing selfishness or going out to other persons, going out to the persons we live and work with, and in and through them going to God himself.

That challenge applies particularly to us in our country at the moment.

It is so easy to face the future in a selfish, grasping way, to build life into a scramble, to wrap much of Australia's wealth and promise into a tiny insignificant parcel called self, when our unique opportunity to grow to full stature lies in using the riches emerging at our feet for the benefit of our fellow countrymen, our brothers and sisters in Asia and the world at large.

Ours is the thrilling opportunity of growing to complete maturity as persons by employing fully the gifts we have received.

W e are meant to put these gifts to work in the search for what makes everything tick but also to grow in the knowledge and friend­ship of the One who makes it all tick.

PREFECTS' NOTES NICK ELIADES

V I O L E T T A A L M I N A U S K A S Head Prefects

1967 has proved to be a successful and enjoyable year for the prefects of both the girls' and boys' schools.

During the first term the prefects were introduced to the Director of the school, Mr. Hames, his senior staff and heads of the junior schools.

W e came to know these people over morning tea.

It was a very pleasant morning which was enjoyed by all.

On Thursday, 11th May, we held our first social and we were pleased to say it was a success.

In short we are pleased to say that the socials we held were successful and we would like to thank all the bands, organizers and those who attended. W e have enjoyed arranging them and

we hope the students have enjoyed themselves es much as we did.

It gave us great pleasure in December to give a Christmas party to a group of orphans, which is part of the Swinburne Prefects' tradition.

There were cakes, sweets, soft drinks and other "goodies" given to the child­ren.

We saw Santa Claus passing by (just in time), so we invited him in and he gave a toy to each child.

Our last task for the year was the delivery of parcels of groceries to needy pensioners in and around Hawthorn. The contents of the parcels were

donated by generous students in the girls' and boys' schools.

In conclusion, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to Mrs. Doherty and Mr. Couche for their continual encourage­ment and interest in all our activities.

W e would also like to thank Miss Eitham and Mr. BaWden for their help throughout the year. Many thanks go to our fellow prefects

for their co-operation and help. To the prefects of 1968, we extend our

best wishes for a successful and happy year.

SWINBURNE MOTHERS' SUCCESSFUL BEGINNINGS

In August of this year the Swinburne Mothers' Club was formed with the blessing of Mr. Hames the Director, Miss Eltham and Mr. Bawden. The meetings are held on the second Mon­

day of each month in the music room. Although a number of mothers have paid

their yearly subscription of 25 cents we only have twenty members who support us. As the object, and the motto of a mothers'

club is to serve the children, we need the help and regular support of the mother of every girl and boy in the school. Although a number of ladies do voluntary

work in the canteen there must be many more who would like to help to raise additional funds. In this way we can assist the P.T.A. in

obtaining many amenities so urgently needed in the school. Everyone interested in the welfare of the

students is very welcome to come along and enjoy the meetings and bring the toddlers too. W e look forward to meeting you. In September the mothers' club affiliated

with the Victorian Federation of State School Mothers' Clubs, and two members will be ap­pointed as delegates to attend the quarterly conferences.

Being a member of the V.F.S.S.M.C. will enable us not only to help our school, but other schools as well. Many problems come before the V.F.S.S.M.C. and the executive have numerous round table conferences with both the Minister of Education and the Dic-ector General of Education. As we have not as yet raised any money for our general account, Mrs. Bartlett, Christine, Merrilyn Williams and myself are very busy making novelties and gifts to stock a stall we hope to run in November. The school was founded in 1908 and this is

the first time we have had an opportunity to really D O something for the school. During 1968 we hope to have a fete and we

will need lots of help and all suggestions and ideas will be welcome. W I L L Y O U JOIN?

PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION With the advent of another year as Presi­dent I wish to congratulate the committee that has helped me over this year in their un­tiring support, whilst this was not a spec­tacular year it was a year of achievements. I would like to especially convey m y thanks to Mr. R. G. Parsons, Chairman of the College Council for his help in any problem that has been placed before him concerning the junior school. W e are very fortunate to have Mr. B. R. Hames as a Director of the school as once again he has devoted both time and support

CLUB

to the building programme of the Junior school to accommodate the girls, together with many other projects for the secondary division.

At this juncture, I wish to thank both Miss J. F. Eltham and staff and Mr. C. E. Bawden and staff for the work carried out as both Headmistress and Headmaster, their results speak for themselves in the number of Commonwealth Scholarships gained by us in relation to other Technical schools. At this 'stage I would make special mention of

Mrs. Ruby Reid and her helpers especially those mothers who devote time to canteen chores as this is the Girls' and Boys' schools' major source of revenue, and without the capable administration of our Manageress, Mrs. Reid, and the helpers our funds would be sadly lacking. This year has seen the fruition of the outdoor

Gymnasium which has been on our books for several years and was opened by Mr. Norm. Borella, Past President of the Parent and Teacher Association, on the 26th May, 1967, at 2.30 p.m., with Mr. R. G. Parsons, Chairman of the School Council, and Mr. B. R. Hames, Director of the school, in attendance. This year thanks to Mr. Hickinbotham, Miss

Hately and other helpers, the junior school held a very successful concert, and thereby raising funds for the improvement of the school library. During the year basketball nets, first aid equip­

ment, sets of extension reading books, class sets of typewriting, also equipment for the outside Gym­nasium were purchased by profits derived from the junior school canteen. W e were able to have the suppert of a council

member from Hawthorn, Camberwell, Kew and Box Hill together with Mr. R. G. Parsons, Chairman of the Council, Mr. B. R. Hames, Director of the College, Mr. W . Jona, M.L.A., Mr. R. F. Morgan, Secretary, and myself in our deputation to the Honorable Lindsay Thompson, M.L.C, requesting the Minister for Education's support to obtain definite assurance concerning the extensions to the boys' school to accommodate secondary girl students, and at this juncture we are awaiting his verdict subject to state finance being available. It has been very encouraging this year for the

junior school to achieve volleyball and tennis premiers, equal premiers in hockey and runners up in football in the Inter Technical School Premier-ships. Our committee was unfortunate in losing the

services of our Treasurer, Mr. Lloyd Slattery, who was a member of this team for many years, and we all regret that Lloyd was forced to retire through other commitments.

To our Secretary, Ray Morgan, I wish to express m y special thanks for the very capable and en­thusiastic manner in which he carried out his duties. Finally I wish to convey m y thanks and good wishes for the Festive Season to all those members of Swinburne Technical College and the committee members of the Parent and Teachers Association who have helped me to carry out m y job as Presi­dent during this past year.

FILM

Geoff Owen—Director, Scriptwriter. Mike Dawson—Cameraman. Brian Dempster—Cameraman. Robert Richards—Special Effects. Jim Curtis—Cameraman. Karsten Johnsen—Actor.

Early in July, the idea that a film club should be started, came into reality, when people who were interested in seeing and making films presented them­selves to Mr. Wiltshire.

From that moment on, ideas were brought forward, discussed, argued and some dropped.

After several intense meetings where words "flew" back and forth an idea arose. A script had to be written, and this

was done after much time taken over discussing and altering even the small­est details. When finally the script was finished,

actual filming started. Firstly, we needed an actor. So, after looking up the classified in­

formation in the teachers' diary and finding out their worst pupil, we knew we had found one, and with him the filming was started. Much running about took place ?nd

after directing the cast lighting tech­nicians, special effects men, cameramen and many more we sat down and dis­cussed the day's events over a cup of tea. A few days later when the werther

was again in favour with us, more film­ing took place — and, we bring you up to the present situation.

RED CROSS CLUB The club moved into action early in first term with a tried and proven (guilty?) president and treasurer — Geoffrey Owen and Paul Heffernan re­spectively. • The club members under their astute leadership have left their mark on the school. During the 1966-67 Christmas holi­

days, Paul Heffernan represented our c'ub in Adelaide at a Red Cross Forum held at Mylor. But, rumour has it that he was the

only (man?) on the bus licensed to sit next to seventy-six (girls?). What do you think? Once again the aforementioned Mr.

Heffernan (alias "Spastic Surgery") reached the heights of medical skill by (successfully?) repairing Mrs. Light-burn (a washing machine), with a Band-aid, on the Alice Springs Trip. On the social side of the club's

activities, we were fortunate that none of our club members were recognized, when we visited the Police Auditorium at D.24 early in March. Here we lerrnt how the police operate. After helping Mr. Baltrunas take the

heights and weights of all the first and

second form boys we were surprised to find that if you substitute a waist measurement for the chest measure­ment you have more than one "Sabrina" in the school. During the year the Parent Teacher

Association was kind enough to donate a flexible lamp and a reclining chair to the club for extra comfort of the patients during surgery. On behalf of the school and club mem­

bers we extend our sincere thanks to them. Any boy contemplating burning the

school down, will be interested to know that thirty trained fire fighters are on hand, just waiting for the chance to demonstrate their skill ?nd dexterity with hose, bucket, extinguishers and rescue techniques. So, please don't forget us next year. This year our members did learn how

to ration out ache tablets and apply Bandaids. See if we can reach the issue of two thousand ache pills next year . .. only one thousand, two hundred and fifty two this year. See you soon.

The balance at the end of Miss Gas­ton's term was $138.68, At this point I would like on behalf of all members of the school to thank Miss Gaston for the excellent job she has done. The collections for this third term

have raised the balance to $158.37. The committee this year consists of: L. Biagini Form 1 R. Pavey Form 2 A. Grilli Form 3 S. Dea Form 4 R. Butler Prefects

The above committee will meet to dis­cuss further donations to charities.

J. FRANKLIN

ESCAPE He was not escaping from a prison

of, stone, but one of stress. He was running from the strains and

tensions of a modern society, a city of large size.

He. was trying to escape, not out of fear, but out of bewilderment and mis­understanding of his situation.

H e was retreating into the country­side where nature and life follows its own uncomplicated course.

In the city he felt as if a vice was being slowly tightened on him and the city's people were its cause.

But in the country-side, he felt free, free from the clutching hands of the city, free from the worry and respon­sibility that it represented.

He was running like a coward, as he knew well, but he couldn't fight the feeling of despair and helplessness that he often felt.

Neither his wife nor his friends could understand why he was acting so, but he realized it would be of no use to try to explain.

He thought if he could just stay away long enough, he might be able to face them and the city once more.

In the country-side, he felt like a bird who had just been set free from its cage, and was allowed to one again flap its cramped wings.

The cleanliness of the air and the stillness of the country-side invigorated him, as he remembered the choking smog and the din of suburban traffic.

He felt free from the burden of mod­ern civilization, and rejoiced for every second away from that unpleasant and distorted world.

DESTRUCTION But now as I stood there, beneath the trees that

were the colour of night, and had the appearance of death, I remembered all the beauty that was once here, and I cried.

As I looked around, I could still see some parts of trees smouldering in the twilight. This was all that was left of the dreaded fire. Looking over the black and barren earth, I wondered

where m y friends, the wild animals were. I was slowly starting to realize that I would prob­

ably never see them again. All this part of the forest had gone, destroyed

through somebody's careless hand. No longer could I wander through the forest picking

wild berries, no longer would the birds sing, no longer would this sun of ours shine, without frowning down upon this blackened God-forsaken land. u

CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY Cry, The Beloved Country Cry, beloved country; Now you die. The rich green hills fall away;

Fall to the valleys And falling, they lie Red and bare And open to the Sky.

The stones are sharp; The dry grass coarse The sun beats its never ending rhythm

Upon the empty soil. For this rich land is no more;

Man no longer inhabits This barren land. Cry, the beloved country; The titihoya cries no more. Further still; the barren hills

Give way to lush green grass Matted tightly. Richness spills

Around this lovely road which

Winds on and on and on. The earth is soft The cattle few Something more is needed. The word is love: The voice is you. For you must watch this

land To keep the man alive; The black man who toils On the white man's land, Backbreaking and heart­breaking.

This land which can no longer bear fruit.

This land where the cattle die

And the grass scorches Beneath the sun. The children cry While black man stares; Desolately; Despairing of hope And watches his whole world die.

Cry, beloved country; For this is so. Now the land breaks and The Hills rise — Gradually the grass becomes green and rich

You cannot believe your eyes. For here the cattle are fat And the children no longer cry.

Here the land breaks And the great mounds of earth

Reveal the gaping bowels Of the gold ridden earth.

The black man toils In the black interior In order that he may feed his black children.

The white man watches The white man orders The white man carries out This persecution. Cry, beloved country For you have witnessed man's inhumanity

To man. Cry, beloved country For it has come to pass That Christian man no longer will accept

The Christian love which says: All men are equal. Cry, the beloved country; Falls now in ruins; Enveloped by the mists of time.

Cry, for soon You must die. The buildings rise Taller still they stretch up high

Spilling people left and right Into the streets about; Black and white alike. But here, fear rules the

heart. Fear of black for white; And white for black. Cry, beloved country, For what you see is true. When segregation leaves its mark

There is no hope for you. The black man finds an emptiness

Where once his tribe had filled:

The white man took the tribe To pieces, bit by bit. But in its place Left nothing But emptiness. Further still the road Begins to wind. Brown and desolate fall the valleys

Before the hills. A church goes up From white man's funds; And once again.all hope re­turns.

To one man's kindness Hearts are lifted.

Milk for children, — white man's milk. Hearts are lifted Hope returned From one man's act Others have learned.

The sun sets now Upon this land And heaps its sorrows and its joys Upon the soils Of endless time. But hope remains for A ray of light Continues to break the per­petual darkness

Which envelopes The persecuted. And silhouetted by the sky The titihoya begins to cry.

THE BALANCE OF WORLD POWER Perhaps the most critical question that has

been asked since the nuclear ?rms race began is "If Russia and the United States came in­to conflict, who would win?"

The answer to this question is usually put down as "No-one", because the results of a nuclear war appear to be totally destruc­tive.

However, in the battle for minds that is being waged in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the choice of sides seems to be very heavily influenced by the military supremacy of either the East or the West.

It may be said that Russia is less of a threat to America than China, but though Russia does not bluster about destroying the United States and est? Wishing a world order, no one doubts that they have the military might and technological development to make the eventual outcome a very difficult thing to predict.

This year for the first time a frightening list of figures was published by the "Institute of Strategic Studies" in London. It showed that America's position as the world's great­est military power had not only been seriously challenged by the Soviet war machine but may have indeed been replaced by it. The United States still holds the numerical

advantage, but her rockets, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and warhead capabilities are all far below the Russians' in weight and destructive power.

In the past twelve months Russian in­dustry has increased the I.C.B.M. total by 5 0 % to 520 missiles against the U.S.A.'s 1,054.

However the American "Minuteman" of 1 megaton and the "Titan" of about 5 mega­tons are no match for the Russian "Sarsin" of 5 megatons and the gigantic orbital "Scrag" with a warhead of 30 megatons!

It is quite obvious that World W a r III will conclude after the first few waves of I.C.B.M.'s orbital missiles have found their marks.

It is in this field that the Russians have worried the U.S.A. by developing a complete anti-ballistic missile system around Moscow and along the Tallin line in the Leningrad area.

It is based on a revolutionary Anti-I.C.B.M. known as "Galosh" and is backed up with an advanced surface to air missile called the "Griffin".

In the submarine-launched missile class America holds a numerical lead of 5 to 1 but her "Polaris" is rated at 0.7 megaton whilst the Russian "Serbs" and "Sanks" can pack a punch at 1 megaton.

The Russians have also managed to estab­lish a class of land-based missiles for which there is no counter-part in the Western arsenal.

They have 725 of these highly directional medium range weapons that could knock out strategic positions all over Western Europe.

A recent development announced after these figures were published adds even heavier emphasis to Russian military power.

They have developed huge launcher rockets that can carry multiple warheads of 6-8 nuclear bombs into outer space, then rain down on targets all over the globe.

INTEGRATION

Australia has a major problem on her conscience. It is that of the aborigines within, or with­

out, her society. It is hoped that the aborigine might one

day reach the white standard of education. But the problem is — "how?" Left to themselves, these natives of Aus­

tralia seem to simply drift along the way they have always been, to be content never to progress. So the white authorities step in. They decide to help those who want to be

helped, and to force the others to be helped. But again the question is "how?" The two accepted options are assimilation

and integration. The solving of this problem has been

narrowed down to these two methods. The argument is, which one? Integration involves complete white domina­

tion. The black people must be prepared to give

up their customs, break up their tribes, leave tbeir battle for survival in the bush and tak? up another one in the cities. But there is a great danger imminent in this

solution. When the tribe is broken up, what shall it

be replaced by? Evidence of this danger is obvious when one

looks at the American negro situation. Here the tribe has been broken, and the

negroes and coloured people have been trained and pushed and moulded into the shapes that the white American wants. But these fickle whites have then rejected

the finished product. And the natives find that there is no tribe

to return to, for their leaders are simply half men, half puppets, attached to strings held by the white man. And the negroes have rebelled against this

exploitation. They have demanded equal rights. This brings us to assimilation. Assimilation involves equal rights and two

separate races. The black man and the white man as

brothers, being brought up together, at the same level, yet keeping their identities. The black man shall remain a black- man. He shall preserve his religion, his customs

and his tribal history. He shall preserve his identity. But he shall also progress at the same pace

and to a level equal to that of the white man today.

He shall not be exploited, but nor shall he be favoured. He shall be equal, treated as equal, living

as equal. Must the Australian aborigine go through

what the American negro has to become ed­ucated? What the negroes are crying for now is

assimilation, A F T E R they had been given integration through no choice of their own. White people tend to treat black or coloured

people as slightly backward infants, not real­izing that they cannot be simply forced into complete co-operation with a plan that they violently object to. Integration can only lead to danger, violence

and even war. How many examples do we need before we

learn for ourselves? If the aborigine wants to be educated, then

I suggest that assimilation is the only way. Although I believe a man is basically a

prejudiced creature, I do not believe he is basically cruel. There are numerous relief funds and peace

organizations which seem to justify this belief. True, there are missions and reserves to help

the natives and coloured people. But if man, especially white man, had not

been prejudiced from the beginning, these peonle would not need helping. There has always been this fear and

prejudice against man's fellow man. During the rise of the Indonesians to in­

dependence, they were under Dutch rule. The Dutch educated the native people, but

only to a certain extent. They were afraid that if the people were

too much educated, they might realize the state in which they were living and rise up against them. This I believe is an example of the case

with most prejudice. Man who achieves power is afraid that his

fellow man may also gain power and rise against him. Because of this he tries to keep his fellow

men ignorant; he degrades them; he uses any excuse he can think of, often the colour of his skin. This is the state of almost every country

of mixed races: one race dominates and tries to keep down the protests and objections of another. But through some quirk of fate, it is always

the white race which dominates, making it a damnation to be born coloured, especially black.

THE HIPPY REVOLUTION The present Hippy movement started

to gain momentum approximately two-years ago with the Hippy philosophy being spread throughout America from the campus of Berkeley University in California.

At Berkeley, author Ken Kesey held what he called a "Trips Festival", at which coloured lights and feed-back from guitars aimed at simulating the experience of taking L.S.D. and other hallucinatory drugs.

Ten thousand people attended the festival and many were fascinated and interested and the movement grew.

San Francisco, on the American West Coast, became, and still is, the "Hippy Capital", and the "Flower" or "Love" generation, as they call themselves, is spreading throughout the world.

Haight-Ashbury, a precinct of San Francisco, has a Hippy population of ten thousand which is increasing rapidly, and throughout America the number of Hippies is estimated at close to one million. The Hippy philosophy of "turn on",

"tune in", "drop out", is a mixture of "Love", "Drugs" and "Apathy". Their major aim is that everybody

should love everyone else and that there should be no wars.

Religion, and the taking of hallucin­atory drugs, play an important part, and Hippies believe that the ultimate life is to get back to nature, to completely drop out of society in the cities, and to live on communal farms like the Indian race.

Their "music" and "clothes" are mystical and beautiful, being, they say, an outward expression of the euphoria they experience on drug trips.

The Hippies are greatly influencing what they call straight society, more so than most people realize, and quite a number of the things- young people are wearing and doing today can be as­sociated in some way with the cult.

Although, on the surface, the Hippy cult seems bright and appealing, under this surface one can see that they are sincere but misguided in their aims. They want to have to work to achieve

their aim, but they have to rely on the handouts from the society they con­demn, in order to be fed.

TWO DECADES OF AMERICAN ART Earlier this year, "the cultured ones", mem­

bers of the Girls and Boys' school art groups, were privileged to see the controversial exhibi­tion of American Contemporary Art at the National Gallery. This exhibition, considered to have been the

most important since the French Exhibition of 1953, has given rise to a few sobering thoughts on the Australian cultural scene, and the art of this country.

After an exhilarating ride on one of our sub­urban trains, and then a five mile hike along dim, dusty Swanston Street we arrived at last at the gallery, where we entered a weird and wonderful world of American abstract expres­sionism, and Pop Art. For some members of the class the breath­

taking beauty of soup tins and paintings that reminded them of "kinder" was too much, and so some ended up in the fossil section while others decided that the best part of the exhibi­tion was the small paintings at the top of doors which read "exit". Whilst these dubious characters were working

out a way of returning to the station, a small group of hardy individuals, led by our great leader Mrs. Shard proceeded to view the exhibi­tion with an open mind (in one ear and out the other). This was not just a collection of works by

different artists, but instead showed the whole history of American Art from the abstract Ex­pressionism to the Op, and Pop art of today, and is certainly a reaction against the Cubist, oriental, geometric abstraction of the nineteen thirties. For those who do not know what Pop and OP

art is, it is best explained as a new experiment with visual sensations, especially in Op art where optical illusions often confuse the eye, and the mind, making it hard to feel or think, yet fas­cinate. *

In this way an Op artist achieves a state of impersonality free from emotion. Paintings like Andy Wohol's "Campbell's

Soup" and Roy Lichenstein's "M-Maybe", which are nothing more than a comic strip frame are examples of Pop art, which also try to free themselves from the emotional feelings of the artist. By now the number of students left had

diminished quite considerably (with permission of course), but the few that were left kept courageously pushing on, absolutely fascinated by the wild slashes, and blobs of colour which decorated the walls of the gallery. No one knew which painting was what, mainly

because the catalogue that was for sale at the door, was one whole dollar, and for a Swin­burne student that type of robbery is confined to the canteen only. So we contented ourselves by trying to look

highly intellectual. For those students who are not clued up on

the art of looking like a true intellectual, it is simply a process of standing way back, putting your head on an angle and saying to the person next to you: "Yes that reminds me of the early works of Van Gogh". And all the time you wouldn't have a clue

what you were talking about.

I have found that most people do this when at an art show, but for some reason many of the people at this exhibition had troubled ex­pressions on their faces, as they tried to make head and tail of this completely different art, which on the surface looked simple, but still managed to become very complicated, when you tried to analyse it. In my opinion this was caused by the com­

plete .lack of feeling, for we are so used to seeing paintings with some type of symbolic figure, or meaning which tends to capture your interest, just as much, if not more than the construction of painting itself. I must admit that some of the paintings had

considerable movement, due to the appncacion of paint which, in a couple of cases was literally thrown on to the background. Many of the paintings were no more than a

background of colour with a square or line placed somewhere close to the centre. An example of this was Josef Albers 'Homage

to the Square", and Barnett Newman's "One-ment". This type of work plus the childish looking

paintings of other artists disgusted many mem­bers of the class, who had expected to see some interesting and original works, and instead saw paintings that were at least original but only because no one had had the nerve to produce this type of work before. By now even the few remaining were becom­

ing slightly nauseated by the continual obser­vation of brightly coloured squares and circles and soup cans.

So for health's sake we decided to leave this hall of horrors, which made Swinburne look like a haven for old people. Walking through one of the many sections

of the gallery, in the hope of finding a way out, I happened upon some older paintings from the eighteenth century, and it was only then that I really saw how far things have changed, but I will leave it up to you and your own personal opinion whether or not it is for the good.

THREE MILE RUN Swinburne has a tradition of running a tor­

tuous three-miles run every year, which to most competitors is very painful, and to others just a "Sunday" stroll in the sun. To those who have run in this event it is

wonderful, but to those who either by a stroke of luck, or genius, were able to "crawl" out, it is a very barbaric event, and the competitors are just plain "nuts". The starting line looks like a jumble sale in

Myers where they are selling cars for two bob. Fantastic colours, everyone running, teachers

yelling, and confusion everywhere. The gun goes off and enthusiastic runners

speed off, as if the finish is just around the bend.

But to their horror they have to run what seems to them, three million miles. Tripping over logs, rocks, and moss, the run­

ners stagger to the finish-line and end up Jn & withered heap.

It feels great to win, but it sure is painful, and makes the holidays worthless.

Really, I think full credit must go to the teachers who organize the run, and those who compete.

WHY PHYSICAL EDUCATION? The beginnings of civilization were marked by the

triumph of man over the world of nature. Thousands of years passed between the inventions

of a wheel for drawing heavy loads and the printing press which made possible a continuous and easy record of man's accomplishments. By the middle of the nineteenth century, genera­

tion after generation, had lived in a simple, agricultural environment, with only a few cities to attract the merchants and ruling classes. The masses lived upon the land. In a remarkably short period of time, a few minutes

in the life of the race, great numbers have been taken into sedentary occupations, collected into shops, stores, and business nouses, forced by economic con­sideration to cluster in large groups in one locality. Great numbers of the people of Australia whose

ancestors were engaged in outdoor life or in work calling for muscular effort are now indoors and work­ing day after day without enough exercise to put them into a perspiration. The degeneration of man can be placed at the door

of the machines which he has created. The vitality and vigor of his biological nature, kept

strong through the years, or by the efforts required by the life he led, are today weakened by indolence and absence of effort.

BASEBALL Once upon a time there existed a

school which had a good baseball team. The school still exists but the present

team is headed for a slow death (may it rest in peace). Congratulations must go to all the

team, for even though the desired result was not achieved, they fought on gallantly. Their efforts were fruitless, but the

spirit of the team in general, deserves some mention. Thanks go to the coach Mr. Wey­

mouth for his donation of time and effort, and also to the team manager, Mr. Millar, a new-comer to baseball, but now a hardened supporter. A few words must also be said about several of our players. Firstly the captain and catcher, James Xenophontos, must have our sympathy. Vice-captain, Nichita Vinocuroff was at first base. W e would also mention our pitcher Peter Gielen but we won't. J. Xenophontos

It is a clear and unmistakable record of man's biological past that he must work with both his brain and his muscles in order to maintain his health and strength.

He must walk with his legs in order to stay erect To continue the process which freed his hands from

the ground and the quadruped position, and even to maintain it, modern man faces the grim necessity of preserving the achievements of his evolution.

To stand on his own feet is an imperative direction from nature. Modern man is not perfect, and industrialized

society is far from perfect He lives under many handicaps and suffers from

many limitations which should be removed. The matter must be seen as a whole. Education in the schools is tied up with the play

life of the child. Skills, attitudes, powers are viewed constantly in terms of the entire life of the individual and physical education is not conducted in school for the sole purpose of exercise, but contributes to the individual's strength, power and vitality and se­cures organic development, appreciation, skills and attitudes that will make for self expression, play, recreation, wholesome use of leisure time and rich­ness and fulness of life.

SWIMMING

This year our swimming team experienced mixed success in both the Inter-Technical School Sports, and the following cham­pionships. Although we did not win many

events we managed to gain minor placings in most races. This enabled us to finish third in the aggregate behind the much stronger Brighton and Preston teams. Our preparation for the sports

began with the house sports. There was more interest in the

sports because Mr. Thomas and his Batman boys boasted of beat­ing Collins for the first time in six years. Their claims were not unfoun­

ded and they managed to scrape home. Unfortunately their success did

not put an end to their boasting. From the house sports a squad

was selected to train for the In­ter-School Sports. Every morning for several

weeks the boys went through the motions of training, and were almost fit in time for the sports. The boys performed better

than expected, especially the divers who put on an excellent display much to the surprise of everyone. W e were very satisfied and

pleased to be placed third. I congratulate the following

successful competitors. Robert Bliss, and David Currie

in the diving events. Robert Kum in the open breaststroke, Larry Field and Doug White in the under 14 events. Special mention must go to

Gary Lear, Jan Priekopa and Rod Jilbert, who although they did not win their events, showed en­thusiasm and determination.

I would also like to thank Mr. Dalziel and Mr. White who gave up their own time to coach and organize the team, and I feel that it was their efforts which gave us our successes. M. D'ALTERIO Captain

TENNIS This year we witnessed one of the greatest tennis achievements in Swinburne's history. A fruitful wind blew two 'foreigners' into the team,

so that at the start of the summer round its members were Mike Richardson, Bruce Arundel I, John Darragh and Geoff Rooke (captain). The first matches went quickly and half-way through

the round Swinburne was on top of the ladder. At this stage the team underwent a critical change

when John Darragh, a sporting fellow, joined another school team. This meant a search for another player for the winter

round, and desperation was setting in when into a team meeting floated Max Flinker — o u r solution. With a full complement of players, we decided

that Swinburne should become renowned for its tennis ability.

From here on the coaches, Miss Gaston and Mrs. Linton, helped the team through its dark patches to its first success — winners of the district section. W e entered the preliminary finals in high spirits. As they proceeded, the tension became electric. Nerves played up, and mistakes were made. But we fought our way through — Essendon would

play Swinburne in the grand final. The match would consist of four singles, played by

Bruce and Mike, and one doubles, played by Max and Geoff. Bruce was defeated in his first match but won his

second convincingly. Mike defeated his first opponent but lost to his

second. As readers will realize the doubles would decide

the result. VOLLEYBALL This is the fourth year that volleyball has been

played at Swinburne, and it has become popular among both staff and students.

Boys have become so interested that a junior team has been formed from form one and two boys who have been helped and coached by a very enthusiastic Mr. Thomas. The junior team has also met with success. They were defeated once during the first round by

Burwood. However in the second round we hope to defeat

Burwood and play in the finals. Our success would not have been possible had it not

been for the hard work and time put in by Mr. Balt­runas who has moulded us into an efficient team. My thanks also go to Mr. Thomas for his assistance,

and to the other boys of both volleyball teams. N. ELIADES.

Perhaps they can also imagine the strain put on the players under these conditions.

Everything the team had worked for was balancing on that crucial game.

But our players didn't let us down. Smiles and congratulations flew everywhere. Yes, Swinburne won the Melbourne Metropolitan

Technical Colleges' winter p'remiership — o u r first! The second half of the summer competition is

under way, and we are optimistic of the outcome. Meanwhile, our sincere thanks go to Miss Gaston

FOOTBALL After the successes gained last year the

school football team enjoyed another highly successful season.

Swinburne were section premiers last year, and won from Box Hill Technical School. W e were placed in a different section this

year comprising of Collingwood, Richmond, Brunswick, Prahran, and South Melbourne Technical Colleges. The first five games proved to be very easy

and the team beat the opposing schools con­vincingly.

The return five games were much harder for Swinburne with all sides playing hard and determined football. Undefeated after seven games we arrived

at Toorak Park to play Prahran. Prahran surprised us on the wet ground

with their speed and good team work and con­sequently they led until halfway into the last quarter.

Swinburne defence proved to be too strong and we continually drove the ball to our forwards who managed to kick the winning goals.

From this narrow victory we played South Melbourne Tech. who had lost the first round. The game was very close throughout, and

in the last quarter South Melbourne's long kicking and high marking on the small ground became too much for our team, and we were beaten fairly easily by four goals. Both teams completed the rest of the

season undefeated. The play off for the section winner was

held at Richmond Football Ground. Swinburne played very good football against

the South Melbourne side but at the start of the last quarter were down six points. Fighting hard we managed to score a goal

within two minutes of the final siren to be section premiers by one point. The next match was the first final against

Geelong West Technical College. W e were too good for them and came out fairly easy winners. This was also the case in the next final

when we were confronted with the confident

SOCCER This year Swinburne's Soccer Team did not

play its usual standard of soccer, compared with other years. The first match we played against Richmond,

we fell badly and were defeated 11 to 0. In the second match we played Prahran. At this match we played a bit of good soccer,

and won 2 to 1, and in the rest of the matches we played during the season, we consecutively won and lost a match. The funny thing is that we lost every match

that we played away, and nearly won all the home matches. Some of the stars of the Swinburne side were

Captain John Horanyi, Gino Cianci, a great goal scorer, who scored 6 out of 13 goals throughout the season, and Geza Horanyi, the quiet winger, who always played very nice soccer.

On behalf of the School Team, I would like to thank Mr. Baltrunas for his superb coaching, and the way in which he tried to build up a team from only a few experienced players.

in the Grand Final of the Melbourne Metro­politan area. In the last quarter we did most of the

attacking but could not bridge the gap, and became the runners-up. From the fourteen games played we won

twelve. On behelf of all the members of the team

I would sincerely like to thank Mr. Couche for the time he devoted to coaching us, and also for the little extra things he did to help each member of the team to enjoy a very successful season. Also thanks to Mr. Dalziel for his organi­

zation and support. I would like to thank the boys who acted

as boundary umpires, the first aid boys, and all the students and teachers who supported the team during the finals.

ATHLETICS Although athletics is taken very seriously at Swinburne, the athletics group has not gained a higher rat­ing in the Metropolitan sections that divide the schools.

Last year we were dropped from the "A" section and put into the "B" section where we will remain for the next Inter-school Compe­tition. The athletics group trained very

hard during the week preceding the inter-school sports. Getting to Auburn Oval at 8 a.m.

each morning was strenuous work during that week, but the boys did not complain very much, and for a few, the training showed its re­ward at the sports. The senior part of the athletics

team was the section that gained us most points at the annual sports meeting. W e won both senior "A" and "B"

relays, and a few sprints, which sum up the wins in the track events.

In the field events, we got one or two firsts, a few seconds, a couple of thirds, and a lot of fourths, which placed us third from the bottom.

Now after that happy piece of news, I would like to give you a brief report on the statistics of a senior event. This was the senior "A" class re­

lay which consisted of Nick Eliades, Ray Williams, Michael D'Alterio, and Konstandinos Haralambous. These boys won the event and also came .5 of a second outside the school boys' record. Lastly, I would like to thank all

the boys who were in the athletics group, and Mr. Baltrunus, and Mr. White who did a great job coaching the team, Mr. Dalziel, the Sports Master for his splendid organisation, and Mr. Schiller who gave some valuable advice to many of the boys. M. D'Alterio

BASKETBALL This year the basketball team has been success­

ful, and has only lost one match, to Blackburn, early in the season. After this defeat, the whole team trained very

hard and because of this we have remained unbeaten for the rest of the season. When we played Blackburn in the -second round

the game was very close and with the whole team playing well we beat them by seven points. Our team this year consists of eight players. Robert Gray is one of the best centre players in

our competition and has been a very consistent goal scorer.

Ray Williams is about five feet ten inches tall, but with his ability for jumping high, he usually beats other taller p.ayers.

Peter Gielen is a consistent goal scorer, but being one of the smallest players, he has some difficulties, but with his quick reactions these become less. Roger Abbott is good in defence and he usually

helps by throwing four to six points a game. Our substitutes in the team are Bruce Adams,

Bruce van Every, and Lindsay Piper. These three players are accurate goal shooters and

all are good substitutes. W e will play Biackbum in the Grand Final, and

the winner will go into the Metropolitan Technical Schools Championship. On behalf of the school basketball team I would

like to thank our coach Mr. Couche for the enthusiasm he has put into training the team.

HOUSE REPORT-GIRLS BLACKMORE

In the Swimming Sports earlier this year, Blackmore came fourth.

Everybody co-operated very well and put in a lot of hard practice. A special thanks must go to the vocal

enthusiasm of the supporters. My congratulations to McPherson

House for winning the swimming sports, and,

I would like to thank our house mist­resses and Karen Dickie, our vice-captain, for all their assistance, and, of course, the Blackmore girls for their efforts through­out the year.

Good luck next year, Blackmore! PRIDMORE This year the Swimming Sports were held at the Hawthorn Pool in March. Al­though we didn't win, we came second behind McPherson, and everyone had an enjoyable day. The girls also put up a good perfor­

mance in the athletic trials. Although there hasn't been very much

inter-house competition during the year I would like to thank Miss Hudspeth and Cheryl for their help and enthusiasm, and also to the girls for their co-operation and teamwork.

I hope the future House Captain has as much enjoyment as I have had throughout this year. Best of luck, Prid­more, for next year.

MCPHERSON Earlier this year, we had a wonderful

amount of success with the Swimming Sports.

It was the first year in about eight that we have won.

I send my condolences to the other three houses, especially Blackmore house, which has won almost every other year.

My heartiest thanks go to all the girls, who have co-operated continuously with the staff and captains.

I would also like to thank the staff, and my vice-captain, Merrilyn Williams, for her marvellous work during my absence at the athletic trials.

I only hope that the same house spirit continues over into next year, and that the future captain, will have the chance of such a happy and rewarding year as I have had. Good luck next year girls of McPherson.

SWINBURNE During the year, the girls of Swinburne have been very co-operative. Their enthusiasm and interest in their

house is really something to wonder at. For the relief of the Tasmanian Bush

Fire, a blanket appeal was held. The girls were very generous with their

donations, they built the longest line, and raised the greatest amount of money. The swimming sports caused a great

deal of excitement and, with hard train­ing by the girls we gained third place.

I would like to thank the House Mis­tress and Phylis Lacy for their help during the year.

HOUSE REPORT-BOYS BATMAN KOSTAS HARALAMBOUS

The house which has won three quarters of all the house competitions this year has been Batman. Its teamwork and spirit, and "never say die" at­

titude has shown its reward. Winning the swimming sports at the start of the

year, with the help of Jan Priekopa, Robert K u m and all the little people of the house, showed the other houses that Batman was out to win all competitions, and this is exactly what occurred. The junior athletics which was held before the

senior competitions showed the three other houses that our little fellows can take on any challenges. The Junior volleyball team coached by Mr. Thomas

went on to easy wins, and the senior volleyball team, also played reasonably well. Our annual cross country three-mile run which

Collins won last year was also won easily by our highly spirited team. Every good house has its weaknesses, and Batman's

this year was the football, for we only came out second best in the senior football and runners-up in the lightning premiership. Inside the house itself, there has been a winning

spirit and enthusiasm displayed by the boys, and this is why we came top in all sports. Lastly, I would like to thank all the boys in Batman

for their support throughout the year, and the two outstanding house masters. Mr. Thomas and Mr. White. Apart from the male house masters, I would like to

thank Miss Gaston, for her time and effort in organ­ising teams, and to Mrs. Linton who helped the house in every possible way that she could.

COLLINS ABRAHAM BENNINGA

ROGER ABBOTT FLINDERS Following on from last year's performances the boys in Flinders' House could have achieved better results and more points if they had possessed some spirit and enthusiasm. This lack of enthusiasm was very noticeable in the

older students, leaving the high reputation of Flinders House to be kept up by the younger boys, who did this very ably.

In the competitive sports Flinders did quite well. The football team had a winning average during the

season and managed to come second in the Lightning Premiership. The House cricket team enjoyed reasonable success

throughout the season with all the team members putting in a genuine enthusiastic effort. W e were not altogether successful in the swimming

and the athletic sports. In the swimming we came fourth and in the athletics

we came equal third. Our thanks must go to the few boys who par­

ticipated in these sports, and although they were not entirely successful for the house, their gain in pleasure and enjoyment was very satisfying. On behalf of all the boys in the house I would like

to thank Mr. Schiller for his organisation and running of the house and his persistence with the boys to try to gain better results. Also sincere thanks must go to Mr. Crawley for

looking after the junior boys. The hard work of these two teachers was worthy of

higher results than the boys achieved over the year. In conclusion, I would like to thank all the boys in the house for their support during the year.

This year Collins House was quite successful throughout the schools' major sporting activities. The swimming team under the leadership of Gary

Lear was runners-up. Gary himself won all five events in which he had

been entered. During the football season the members of the team

won all their matches including the Lightning Prem-ierships, Collins first played Flinders, and after a slow start Collins ran out comfortable winners. Then Collins played one of the weaker houses, Bat­

man, in the final match. In this match the team also ran out very easy

winners. The team throughout the season was right behind

their captain Ian Beasley, who gave a 100.per cent effort to the house and the team.

In the athletic sports, Ray Williams brilliantly won the mile.

Next came the three-mile run. W e were very unlucky not to win this though two

brothers Jim and Brian Ymer came in first and second. Another brother, Mickey, was ninth, this was very

good for a first year runner. I would like to congratulate the boys who received

house colours for their efforts during the year. In conclusion, I would like to thank the members

of Collins House for their support, and the en­thusiastic manner which they seemed to have when­ever called upon for some activity. Many thanks must go to Mr. Goldsmith for the

attention he has given to the house, in his first year as house master.

STUART SOMERVILLE HENTY This year Henty House had a very poor season finishing well down in nearly every activity in which they took part.

In football Henty was lucky to field a team every week, mainly due to the school football team which had at least ten Henty players. They ended up by winning a couple of games which

was not a bad effort considering they had only about fourteen players each week. The house volleyball team was probably the most

successful when it finished second to Batman. The cricket team took the honours by finishing rock '

bottom, not even winning the "toss" let alone a match. They had some fair piayers namely Colin Veitch who

was chief run getter and wicket taker. Also Ray Stewart, Ian Cook, and Steven Webb who

played a helpful hand. In the swimming sports we managed to win a couple •

of events, and score enough points to just beat Flinders for third place.' Our junior swimmers were mainly responsible for

the team finishing third In the Athletics, we were placed last. The three-mile-run really tested the strength of

Henty House, I think we had only about ten boys out of one hundred and fifty who finished in the first hundred. On behalf of Henty House I would like to thank Mr.

Miller and other members of staff who tried to put Henty back at the top where they should be. 26

NEWSPAPER SURVEY This survey covers a four-day

period beginning on Tuesday, Sep­tember 12, 1967. Editions of three major dailies,

"The Herald," "The Age" and "The Australian" were used for the comparative studies. News and information from

Asia, editorials and articles were not considered. The unit of measure was the

column-inch and although some discrepancies existed between the sizes of the three papers, this was not considered critical.

Tues- Wed- Thurs- Friday day day day day

The Herald . . . 89 40i 54 32i The Age 66i 72 90 76 The Australian . . 175 92 25i 203J

Thursday: Shanghai—Chinese seize U.K. office, China—Anti-Maoists executed, Hong Kong— Gaol for five Communist reporters, Cambodian Envoys to quit China, Jakarta — Marines and students clash, Tokyo — Japanese plan orbit programme, New Delhi — Himalaya battle resumed, Ho Chi Minh — W e will not be cowed by bombs. Friday: Indonesia—China en­

voys expelled, Vietnam — U.S. bombers blast missile sites, South Korea warns on armistice, Seoul— 151 mile fence to beat invasion, Hong Kong—Chinese army "exer­cises" near border, Tokyo—Stu­dent riot. Sixty-seven topics were counted

altogether, and of these 25 were directly concerned with the war in Vietnam. Both "The Age" and "The Australian" generally have a whole page devoted to the war. Twenty topics were concerned

with Communist China and its association with other Asian coun­tries such as India, Cambodia, and Indonesia. There was very little reporting

of local events, and the whole tone of the news scene was war, kill­ing and Communism. The Chinese received much at­

tention, but the headings under which they were examined were very limited. Political struggles in China and

Vietnam rated as news items, but these are not the only two coun­tries in Asia. The economic situation in Asia,

which is of the utmost importance, seemed to be ignored. Only news items of a sensational

value, such as fighting on the Indian-Chinese border, the war in Vietnam, or riots in Canton were presented. "The Herald" is particularly

guilty of this, which means that the news coverage is unbalanced. News sources: Generally speak­

ing, "The Age" and "The Herald" draw their Asian news from AAP, with an occasional article from "The Australian" uses UPI and

AAP-Reuter. their own "world cable service". A A P appears to cover Vietnam

and most of South East Asia, whilst AAP-Reuter seems only to cover India as far as Asian news is concerned. News from China is received in

Hong Kong, by AAP. All the papers maintain correspondents in major trouble spots and capital cities in Asia," but they are usu­ally engaged to write full-length reports and to collect local news.

"The Herald man in Tokyo", Frank Devine's article on Thurs­day, September 14, was written about Japanese businessmen's at­titudes to commerce in Hong Kong. Freelance journalists also con­

tributed to the press full-length articles gathered from first-hand knowledge. An example of this appears in

"The Australian." on Tuesday, September 12. It is an article by David

S^hroenbrun which recounts an interview with Phan Van Dong, North Vietnamese Prime Minister. Quality of news reports: Gene­

rally news from Asia is devoid of real news value, as most of the news is directed towards events either in Vietnam or China, and a biased view is given. In Vietnam casualty figures for

American and South Vietnamese troops are always described as light. Occasional articles reveal that

American casualties are higher than in previous six years. Not enough background or

depth is given to news stories, and details always revolve around American successes. Chinese newspapers capitalize

on Chinese militant attitudes without giving any background of these attitudes. For instance, in the recent

Indian-Chinese border incident which was reported in "The Herald" and "The Age", we have examples of good and bad articles. "The Herald" has a correspon­

dent in New Delhi, Trevor Drie-berg, and his report, which was linked with one from AAP, gave a clear view of the situation. It was reported that the Chi­

nese were angry about a State visit to India by the Maharajah of Sikkim, but it was indicated that the incident was only an ex­cuse to harass the contested border. Relevant facts about the

strength of Chinese forces was given. In "The Age" an AAP-Reuter

report contained no background information, and was merely a listing of communiques and casual­ties. By reporting riots, wars and vio­

lent incidents newspapers tend to make Australians afraid of Asia.

If Australia is to survive in Asia much more effort must be put into understanding local Asian prob­lems and communities.

M A X FLINKER

"The Australian" maintains the widest Asian coverage of the three. "The Herald" presents the news

from Asia, but usually with very little background, and "The Age" has a medium news coverage. The Americas Cup series dis­

placed Vietnam from the head­lines during the week, which might account for "The Herald's" poor showing. Topic Breakdown Tuesday: India-China border con­flict, Viet Cong propaganda, Go­vernment move to stop aid to N.L.F., Fifty thousand Chinese swim in Yangtse for August Army Day. Vietnam—Boobytrapped jeep ex­

plodes, Hong Kong—Police raid on Trade Unions, Bangkok—Com­munist guerillas attack village, Jakarta—180 Reds arrested in West Java, Six nation Asia defence pact planned, Vietnam—Thieu offers one week bomb pause, U.S. backs peace move, Losers seek new poll in Vietnam, Hanoi tells U N to keep out, Australian accusa­tion of Red arms dump denied, Mao's troops seize big arms cache, Hong Kong—Fireworks banned to end bomb scares, Phan Van Dong —Talking war and peace, Nui Dat—Report on the boot situation in Australian army, New Red leader in South Vietnam.

CENTRAL AUSTRALIA DIARY —1967 TOUR FRIDAY—18/8/67: We left the school at the unearthly hour of 6.30 a.m. and travelled some U10 miles to Murray Bridge, South Australia, where we camped for the night.

SATURDAY — 19/8/67: Left Murray Bridge and travelled to Adelaide where we stopped for an hour or so and picked up the supplies we needed. Travelled further to Port Augusta where we were

able to mail the letters and postcards we had until we reached the next post office some two to three days later. We then camped some 20 miles outside Port

Augusta.

SUNDAY — 20/8/67: Broke camp and travelled to Lake Hart (a salt lake) where we stopped had a look and took pictures. We then went through Kingoonya and for the

remainder of the day we travelled some 320 miles to Ingemar Bore. Here we stripped, washed in one of the three

tanks at the bore, and set up camp for the night.

MONDAY — 21/8/67: After Ingemar Bore we travelled to Coober Pedy where we bought various opal encrusted ornaments. Our hostess, Fay, explained everything about opals

and gave a demonstration of opal cutting. We were shown how Coober Pedy obtains its

fresh water supply and was filtered through a Solar Distiller which converts the sun's rays into energy. This .Distiller incidentally is the largest of its

kind in the world. We continued our journey to another of the many

bores along the way, Mario Bore, where the lake had not dried up. Here we stripped, bathed and camped the night.

TUESDAY — 22/8/67: Left Mario Bore and travelled a long way to Victory Downs, a home­stead just over the Northern Territory border. Here we refuelled and bought supplies. We travelled further to Curtain Springs where

we again refuelled the bus, and many of us bought souvenirs from the aborigines who were present. We continued our journey into the Northern

Territory until we reached Ayers Rock. I think this was what most of the boys wanted

to see and ive were surprised at the immense size of the Rock. The area' around Ayers Rock is a national park

and the showers there were found to be a luxury. We were the first arrivals at Ayers Rock, of

some 2,000 expected students.

CENTRAL AUSTRALIA THURSDAY — 23/8/67: In the morning we met Lofty, a guide at Ayers Rock who showed us over the interesting parts of the rock. It was discovered in 1873 by William Goss and

named after the Premier of S.A. at the time, Sir Henry Ayer. It is some 1,180 feet high and 5\ miles in cir­

cumference. Lofty, apart from knowing every flower, shrub

and bird in the vicinity, knew all about the rock and legends connected with it. After lunch we visited the Olgas some 23 miles from Ayers Rock. These are a group of boulders which constitute

a mountain — like an outcrop in the desert.

FRIDAY — 2b/8/67: This was the day which all of us had looked forward to. It was the day of the actual climb of the Rock. It was a memorable experience for all of us which

will be with us for many-a-day. In the afternoon we left for Alice Springs and

arrived there about 5 p.m. that day.

SATURDAY — 25/8/67: In the morning we visited Stanley Chasm and Simpson's Gap. In the afternoon, as it was extremely hot during

our stay there, we were permitted to go swimming at the local pool. That night we were free to do as we wished.

SUNDAY — 26/8/67: We visited Corroboree Rock, an initiation point of the ancient aborigines, and Trephina Gorge. " Also visited the original Alice Springs which was

a telegraph station between Alice Springs and Adelaide and now a national park.

POEMS: A DOG

I have a dog and he's brown and black,

and he sleeps on an old brown sack. He's got eyebrows like Eric Pearce, but he isn't really very fierce.

MY DOG THE CAT I walked up to him, He was staring at the sky He had just fallen off a limb And he gave a deep sigh He was chasing a squirrel in the tree.

When all of a sudden he noticed me,

He knew he wasn't supposed to do that,

For why would a dog pretend to be a cat?

He remembered he wasn't and down he fell.

He will remember this lesson fairly well.

M. Crabtree

THE STREAM Where are you going little stream All in a fret and flurry? "I'm off to meet the river below And I'm off in a tremendous hurry"

Where are you going river broad, As you pass so wide and free, "I have an important meeting With the great and wide blue sea".

L. Hughes

S U M M E R Winter is cold hearted, Spring is time for play, Autumn is the weather-cock, Summer days are for me When every leaf is on its tree.

CLIPPITY CLOP Clippity Clop, Clippity Clop, Hurry we must to beat the clock. Faster and faster she rushes against wind gales

Over glen and through deep vales. The hand of the clock goes round and round,

Great leaps and bounds but she makes no sound:

Her destination is short, But there is scarce time to get there she thought.

Closer and closer is the town, But still the clock goes round and round.

At last the buildings are in sight I think she will make it before midnight.

D. Davy

THE SNAIL A snail went walking on a summer day,

He walked so very slowly, He was hours upon the way.

He only just got past the door, When he was turning forty-four. He walked and walked for years and years,

And nothing made him stop. The other snails cried "If you go on you'll drop."

And by the time he reached the sea,

He'd turned a hundred and fifty-three.

THE SEA THE KNIGHT

She lies cool and calm, Gazing serenely at The world, When sudden anger strikes and now She tosses her head in wild disarray Of hair Falling In salt sprinkled masses which Fall and crash and toss and turn And glassy green eyes have Sudden depth — Wild turbulent anguished eyes With yawning toothless mouth revealing

Angry pools Of foam. She stretches her long arms and Men who try to Tie her She envelops with grinning mouth and great delight

And they become The invisible fishes and shells and sands Which haunt the newspaper men With worries and cares to capture Invisible flies With invisible nets And the swirling black abyss Of skeletons and bones And broken teeth Swells and swells with Man's infidelity and bones No-one can capture the sea No-one tries But man, Who makes an infinitesimal smear Of newspaper print In the glassy eyes Of the sea.

KEN STANLEY

A knight rode down a hill one day, To go from London all the way, To York, where he would stalk The outlaw, John the Miller. John the Miller was a cruel young man,

With his partner, he was called Dan, They robbed the houses all day, Then they killed and rode away. The knight was mad, because the crook was bad.

There was a reward on his head. The sign said "Capture Alive or Dead"

There are two hundred crowns on his head.

The knight rode into York one night All ready and willing to have a fight, The outlaw came to have a duel. John the Miller was bad, worse than that, he was cruel.

John the Miller was killed because the knight was so skilled.

He was given the two hundred crowns,

So that knight rode away to other towns.

T H E FIGHT

One night as I walked down the street,

I heard the patter of big flat feet, I turned around and had a fright, There was a man who wanted to fight,

He wanted to fight, I wanted to run, But in his hand he held a gun, I thought he was going to kill me, Until I tripped and hurt my knee, He helped me up, his gun was a fake, He smashed it to pieces with a garden rake.

— Elliot

INTERPRETATIONS OF MUSIC

MUSIC

This year Swinburne Technical College was represented by four choirs at the Technical Schools' Regional Music Festival held at Box Hill Boys' School in second term.

They were, the senior girls' choir, the junior girls' choir, the boys' and girls' combined choir, and the junior boys' choir.

It was a most enjoyable afternoon, and we are grateful to Tintern C.E.G.G.S. for providing a first-rate guest choir.

The junior mixed choir was later honoured by an invitation to perform at a Combined Regional Festival at Preston Technical College.

Our congratulations must go to Miss Hateley and the girls of IIICH, who put on an excellent perform­ance of the song "The Daniel Jazz" at the concert arranged by the P.T.A., also in second term. A madrigal group of eight girls

and four boys rehearsed regularly after school, and will be participating at the end of the year in the School concert.

W e are grateful to Mrs. A. Sloan, Mrs. N. Furlong, Mr. Langdon, Mr. L. Tasker and Miss Hateley, who con­duct most successful classes in flute, violin, guitar, drum and recorder.

The Orchestra meets regularly, numbers are increasing, and it will perform at a special festival of Christmas music later this year.

Both the boys' and girls' School wish to express their appreciation to Miss Hateley and Mr. Hickin-botham for their hard work and tole­rance throughout the year. Judy Cole

M y Title: "Walking Through Life". Real Title: "The W Real Title: "The

Swan" by Saint-Saens. Instruments Used:

Violoncello, harp. Mood Poem. Walking through life, Walking through

strife, Walking along, With a happy song, Calamity disappear­

ing, Life non-fearing.

Do I like it? I like some of it, but some parts are too fast and loud. I think the orchestral music should be played slow­ly and softly.

It sounds as if you have just finished an everlasting journey, and^vhen you step on to the journey's end, all you notice is the immense peace, a dream come true. Max Wormhoudt, 2A

M y Title: "The Water Cycle".

Real Title: "The Little Fugue" In A Minor, by Bach. Mood Poem. From tricklets to

rivers, From rivers to lakes, That's where the

water flows.

From lakes to oceans, From oceans to the

sky, And down from the

sky, The water cycle goes.

Funke

M y Title: "The Devil's Waltz".

Real Title: "Danse Macabre", by Saint-Saens.

Mood Poem. It is midnight as the church clock strikes aloud.

From graveyards be­yond the devil comes and plays.

His violin to summon the subjects in his pay,

With cackles and screeches they fly in the night amongst the clouds.

Until the cock heralds the dawn of another day.

Do I like it?

Yes, I liked this tune because it de­scribed brisk move­ment, and even though it was quite spooky, it was a good piece of music to listen to. Neil MacDonald, 3A

SUNKEN TREASURE John Kincaid, an ace diver, surveyed the calm waters of the Caribbean from the rented Hydrofoil.

Three days before he had been hired by the British Museum to dive for a treasure worth nearly seven million pounds sterling. . Two days before he had arrived at the small island which was to be their base.

Yesterday, they had located the treasure.

N o w he was going to dive for the treasure and start to bring it up.

He heard the soft pad of naked feet and turned around to look into the smiling face of his assistant, Dan Peterson.

"Penny for 'em!" said Dan cheerfully. "For what, Dan?". "Your thoughts, you imbecile!" re­

plied Dan. "Oh! I was just thinking about the

treasure. There's supposed to be a curse on it. It says that any one who takes the

treasure will die within three days." "Surely you don't believe it, those

wogs would make up any story to get rid of us."

"I suppose you're right, we may as well go down and work out how to bring it up", said Kincaid.

Eight minutes later after they had put on their suits and equipment they gazed at the fabulous treasure of a lost nation of Polynesians.

Peterson picked up a golden statuette of a man.

Suddenly a shark sped down towards them.

Peterson grabbed for his knife and made for the shark.

His shoulder rubbed against the sand­paper type skin of the shark.

Blood seeped into the water. He caught hold of the killer's dorsal

fin and plunged the knife into the shark's eye and through to the brain.

Within two minutes the immediate area of the Caribbean was blood red.

Within five minutes the area was swarming with shark and baracuda.

The fish were tearing at the dead shark's hide.

Kincaid and Peterson swam to the surface and climbed into their waiting cabin cruiser.

That afternoon they dived for the treasure, this time with French "Cham­pion" spear guns and plenty of rope.

They fastened the ropes around the chest and went back to the surface for the hook, which was fastened to a winch by two hundred feet of cable.

VICTORIAN RAILWAYS The Victorian Railways is the biggest single Public Utility in Victoria.

It has more than 28,000 employees, and every trade and profession is rep­resented.

Their Harris Trains or Red Trains and Blue Trains or Tait Trains carry more than 500,000 passengers in one day. The trains carry thousands of tons of

goods per year. There are many types of trains in

Victoria and some of them are listed here:

Electric — for Suburban and Gipps­land Trains. Diesel — everywhere. Steam Engines — for some country

lines.

GREAT BALLS OF FIRE I SEE

Steam engines are used on the country spur lines, including one experi­mental Turbine Engine.

There are three gauges used in Victoria, these are:

Broad gauge 5 ft. 3 ins. Standard gauge 4 ft. 9 ins. Narrow gauge 3 ft. 6 ins.

(Narrow gauge is used with Puffing Billy)

The Victorian Railways is 106 years old and has the best safety record of any transport system.

Only one man is needed to run all standard gauge trains which is about seven at a time, from Central Traffic Control at Spencer's Street,

Moore

I live in Ancient Europe, and I am a Prehistoric Stone Age Man. They call us this because we make practically

all our tools and implements from stone. During the long droopy days, always when I

look up there is a great yellow ball, rather like fire, but it seems to move further away all the time. Great whirls like smoke are hanging from

the sky, sometimes blue, other times white, grey and fluffy. Heaven knows what these are. In the blackness of the night, there are little

lights covering the sky, and in the midst of these is a gigantic yellow ball, with things which look like animals or trees inside it. Many times I have seen a half, and even a

quarter of this ball. When this happens, my people say that the

gigantic ball is shrinking, and in thirty days it is fully grown again. When water comes down, I say that it is

one of the Goddesses, weeping, from a thump­ing noise, that she has received from the God, when misbehaving. One calm day, while I was hunting, suddenly

a great yellow flash came and almost blinded my eyes.

I noticed that the trees ahead were burning from this unknown magic. Thinking that the two great balls had

crashed together, I didn't worry any more. Yellow and orange lights in the sky at night

are beautif il, they seem to light everything up in sight. One cold and stormy night something drop­

ped from the sky, shaking all the land. Running frantically, with perspiration rolling

from my body, I reached the scene. There was a deep hollow hole with traces of

a zig zag in the core. Something had fallen with such force that

it had gone right through the ground. When I told my fellow men of this, they

would not believe me unless I showed it to them. Astonished at the sight, Chee-Mutch-Cook,

the leader said that the Gods were angry and had hurled a traitor out of their home. All these events went on until I died at sixty-

nine years, and with my last few words, I whispered that some day a person with much knowledge would find out all secrets and move­ments of these balls of fire, flashing noises and falling objects from the sky above.

LIBRARY NOTES This year the library has taken a new

look — new teachers, new books, new layout.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of Mr. Bawden the special library appeal now stands at $400. Thanks go to Mr. Couche's fourth

formers and all who helped with the paper drive, Mr. Baltrunas and the Swinburne-American Volley Ball match, Mr. Hickinbotham's School Concert and individual donations from parents and boys.

The total amount of money spent this year on books was $1,600 which rep­resented approximately 1,600 books. Various sections are being added to

and particular attention has been given to the hobbies, art, wood-working and sheet metal sections.

In addition to these non-fiction books many novels, both classical and contem-many novels, both classical and con­temporary have been acquired.

The librarians tell us, however, that many more books are needed and they hope to remedy this position next year. SCHOOL COLOURS School awards are made for keen school spirit, aiding

administration and outstanding sports performances. This is the first time they have been awarded at

Swinburne. FOOTBALL
