PRINCIPALMr. O'CONNOR

It occurred to me that this might be a good oppor-tunity to share a few thoughts with you based on ourschool motto, "Esse Quam Videri". Younger membersof the school have occasionally asked me what itmeans; older students may have forgotten its signifi-cance in their daily contact with it.

Literally the motto means "It is better to be thanto appear only to be." In other words, it sets up astandard for thought and action based not merely onexternal adherence to rules of truth, justice and beauty,but on an internal conviction of the highest ethicalbasis for action.

It is a condemnation of the action of people whoconform to acceptable standards merely to impressothers—it is a condemnation of sharp business prac-tice masquerading as honest dealing; of the motoristwho1 obeys the rule of the road when under the eyeof the law but is reckless of his own and others' liveswhen he feels he is not likely to be apprehended; ofthe man, woman or child who is everyone's friendoutside but unbearable to live with at home; of anyaction cloaked with a facade of respectability butfounded on unworthy or shameful motives.

To live up to the motto is a challenge few of uscould hope to achieve at all times and in all places.Human behaviour is extraordinarily complex. Theword "personality" itself is a derivative of "persona"—an old Greek word for "mask", In the early Greektheatre, character delineation was simply a matterof putting on a mask which the audience immediatelyidentified as the type of character being portrayed.

Shakespeare exhorts us: "This above all—to thine"own self be true". He also knew, as we all do, howdifficult it is to sort out ourselves—to know whatour "own self" consists of. It is not made easier forus in that we all use types of "masks" or "persona"or "personalities" which we "put, on" to suit the occa-sion. You know yourselves that you are differentpersonalities at home, at school, on the playing fields,

at social functions and so on. But in spite of allthese variations of personality we all have an in-built"direction finder" or conscience that points the wayto correct action. If we move the pointer a fewdegrees, we usually rationalise our action as necessaryin the circumstances, because of our need to be atpeace with ourselves.

Since, moreover, we are the product of our en-vironment and all our experiences, we are often inconflict with ourselves when what we want "to be"is difficult in the face of distorted values of a per-missive society or in conflict with the ideas of ourpeers. It is then a test of character whether we allowour "appearing to be" to dominate our "to be". Themore often we stand on principle and refuse to letourselves be swept along by human respect, the closerwe are to moral self-realisation.

There is an old legal tag which says that "justicemust not only be done, but appear also1 to be done".We will have reached our full stature when we havehappily resolved all conflict between internal convic-tion and external conformity to what is good and trueand worthwhile.

Prefects9 NotesThe official induction ceremony for the prefects

was carried out at the beginning of the year by Mr.C. E. Anstey, B.Com., A.Ed., A.A.S.A., Registrar at theQueensland Institute of Technology. This was thebeginning of the prefects' official duties which havebeen carried out smoothly during the remainder ofthe year.

Janet White and John Illingworth, as school cap-tains, were asked to attend the garden party at Gov-ernment House in conjunction with CommonwealthYouth Week. It was a great opportunity to meet theschool captains from the various other High Schools.We were also fortunate to meet past students fromWavell who had won acclaim since they left school.Another opportunity was afforded us by our trip toNambour S.H.S. New acquaintances were made andsome old acquaintances renewed.

The vice-captains this year were Ruth McDowelland Trevor Walz. The prefects attained a high stan-dard in the field of sport this year; Brian Berry, JimFranklin, Laurie White, Barry Pordham, Kent Smith,Bruce Staib (football); Trevor Walz, Michael Reilly(Weight Lifting, taking a number of Australian re-cords); Alan Carse, Kent Smith (Cricket); John Illing-

worth, Ken Lambert (Golf); Ken Lambert, MichaelReilly (Athletics); Robert Claybourne (Basketball);Pam King, Jan Walls, Beth Dunlop, Wendy Brooks,Jenny Stevens, Dianne Crofton, Dianne Coxon (Hoc-key); Pam King, Janet White (Softball); Janet White(Basketball); Jan Walls, Dianne Coxon (Swimming);Ruth McDowell (Golf); Dai McLean, Trudy Frampton,Janet Brown (Vigoro); Janet White (Athletics).

Beside sporting achievements, practically all ofthe girl prefects and a few of the boys extended theircultural interests by taking part in the school pro-duction of "Calamity Jane", which we believe was atremendous success. Janet White and Peter Deslandestook the main roles as Calamity Jane and Wild BillHickock respectively. The prefects were also repre-sented in the school cadet units by John Illingworthand Bruce Staib (Army), and Pam King (Red Cross).

In conclusion, we would like to thank Mr. O'Con-nor, Mr. Morris, Miss Hunter and the remainder ofthe teaching staff for their valuable help during theyear, and we wish to extend our best wishes to allJunior students and fellow Senior students in theforthcoming examinations.

Parents and Citizens9 AssociationThe 1969 Annual Meeting of the Association was

held on 25th February and was attended by 35 people,including Mr. A. T. Dewar, Alderman Hill and Alder-man Harvey. This number was not a very represen-tative attendance of parents of the 1400 students at theschool, and all are invited to show their interest inschool activities by attending annual meetings whichare held on the last Tuesday in each February.

Officials and committee members elected forwere: Chairman, Mr. C. E. May; Deputy Chairman,Mr. E. J. Rigby; Secretary, Mr. L. I. Hume; Treasurer,Mr. C. D. Norman (followed by Mr. E. J. Walmsleyin September); Committee Members, Messrs Pryor,Beard, Hall, Anstey, Walmsley, Anderson, Folkes, Wat-son, Mitchell, Stockdale, Brand, Greensill and Mes-dames Anstey, Asplin, Joyner, Harvey, Goodworth,Richards, Kenyon and Haynes.

The Ladies' Auxiliary, with Mrs. Sillett as Presi-dent, continued as an active and vital part of thisAssociation, organising and participating in our fundraising and general activities. This financial and willingpersonal assistance are the significant factors in theeffectiveness of the Parents & Citizens' Associationat the school, and I appeal to all mothers who cangive any assistance, to become associated with ourLadies' Auxiliary.

The two major sources of income for the Associa-tion continue to be the Tuck Shop and the BookStore, and I offer the thanks of the Association to allpeople who have assisted with this work. The Ladies'Auxiliary is responsible for the Tuck Shop which isstaffed by Mr. McCorley as Supervisor, and by theladies who are rostered daily for Tuck Shop duty.The school Book Store is convened by Mrs. Ansteyand to assist us financially, parents and students arerequested to take advantage of this source, whichenables them to purchase text books and generalschool requisites at the school, at city list prices.

The runathons associated with the Annual CrossCountry Races were repeated this year, and raisedapproximately S8QO.

The "Card Contribution Scheme" was continuedthis year, and at the date of our meeting, 314 familiesof the 1100 families represented at the school hadcontributed. We are most grateful to the familieswho have contributed, and remind all that this schemeis designed to enable all families to contribute ineven a small way to the work of this Association, whichexists only to perform services which are consideredto be of benefit to our school and to our children.

At the end of March, the Swimming Pool was readyfor use, and although this coincided with the end ofthe swimming season, the Education Department gavespecial approval for the pool to be used by the stu-dents for 2 weeks, before closing it down for the

winter. The final cost of the pool, after payment ofretention money, etc., will be $57,114. §25,000 of thisamount has been paid by the Education Departmentas subsidy, leaving a balance of $32,114 for the P. & C.Association, most of which has now been paid. Thishas been achieved without making use of a bank loanthat had been tentatively arranged when the Engineer'sestimates for the pool were prepared.

The pool was officially opened by Mr. A. T. Dewarat an afternoon function on Saturday, llth October.

A general meeting to form a School SwimmingClub was held late in April, and subsequently muchpreparatory work was done by a small group of willingofficials. Support from both parents and studentswas disappointing, but to provide club swimming forthose who were interested, it was decided to com-mence club swimming on Friday night, 3rd October,with membership available to all students who canswim 25 metres or more in any stroke.

To plan our expenditure, a "Works Programme"for 1969 was prepared at the beginning of the yearinvolving a total expenditure of $5,300 (excluding swim-ming pool) approx. $3,600 to1 be provided by theP. & C. Association, and the balance as subsidies bythe Education Department.

At the date of this report, a movie projector, 5large steel cabinets for the Book Store and 20 schoolground seats have been provided and approximately100 trees have been planted along the Edinburgh CastleRoad and Colac Street boundaries, and within thegrounds. Further beautification of the area is planned,involving more trees, and approximately 4000 mauvecreeping lantana plants which are now in the Nursery,being prepared for planting on the banks of the sportsovals both to beautify and to retain the banks.

The construction of 2 sealed men's basketballcourts, and 3 concrete paths on the north side of theschool buildings are also planned, but are at presentawaiting Education Department site approval.

Late in May, 4 members of the P. & C. Associationand the School Principal inspected the school groundswith 5 officers from the Education and Works De-partments to discuss proposals. These included: Sitesfor future Library, Assembly Hall, Class Room Block,Basketball Courts, etc.; effective surface drainage ofstormwater to protect the sports oval; restoration ofthe oval surface; more bitumen sealing in heavy foottraffic areas; enclosing of the large open drain thatcrosses the grounds.

Some useful site decisions have been made as aresult of the meeting and we are hopeful of someaction to carry out the requested works. At therequest of the Education Department, property own-ers adjoining the north-east corner of the schoolgrounds had previously been interviewed by this Asso-

ciation to obtain their opinions on building proposalsfor this area of the school grounds.

This year has seen the completion of the swim-ming pool and other works at the school, and thisAssociation will continue each year with the provisionof useful equipment and works in the school roomsand the school grounds. However, in conjunction withthese continuing services, we have also set our sightson the construction of an Assembly Hall, as the nextmajor long term project. We have advised the Edu-cation Department of this, and have asked to be listed

for financial assistance for this work when we haveraised our share of the total funds required.

The year that the Hall will become a reality willbe decided by future Association committees, and willdepend on the support given to the Association byparents during the next few years.

To "get with it" you can support our activities,and/or join with us at our monthly meetings whichare held in the School Library at 7.45 p.m. on the firstTuesday of each month, excluding January.

Ladies* Auxiliary ReportPresident: Mrs. R. SILLETT.Vice-President: Mrs. E. BIGBY.Secretary: Mrs. F. GREENSILL.Treasurer: Mrs. B. HUNTER.

The Ladies' Auxiliary, in conjunction with theParents and Citizens' Association, is striving to givethe students of Wavell High School better facilities,and a more attractive school of which they can beproud.

The finances of the P. & C. are raised almostsolely by the Ladies' Auxiliary, the bulk of the moneycoming from the tuckshop and the bookstall.

The primary object of the tuckshop is to providegood, health-giving food for the students, but in doingthis, we raise a large sum of money each year. Thebookstall in the first week of the school year alsoprovides a two-fold service, by making easily availablethe necessary text books for the students, away fromthe crush 01 the city stores, and at the city prices.These stores, who supply the books to the stall, allow10% on all sales. So by buying from the bookstall,you are helping the school financially.

Other profit-making activities have been severalsocial functions, stalls on sports day, the sale ofsecond-hand uniforms, and the run-a-thon organisedin conjuction with the cross-country events.

A small group of ladies has worked consistentlyeach Wednesday assisting Miss Hunter and Miss Dob-son to prepare new books for the library shelves. Thesebooks are the result of a Commonwealth grant, andthe work promises to continue at least all next year.We sorely need more helpers. We also need morewomen to "man" the tuckshop, as we are often shortof assistants. If any mothers are able to help, pleasering Mr. McCorley, 59 5126, or Mrs. Sillett, 59 2437.

The Auxiliary wishes to extend its most sincerethanks to Mr. O'Connor and his staff for their co-op-eration and courtesy; to Mr. McCorley, tuckshop con-venor, for his courtesy and efficiency; to the studentsfor their continuing support, and last, but by nomeans least, to all the mothers, who have given theirvaluable time for the good of the school.

Past Students* AssociationAgain we see another year coming to a close. This

year has not been a complete success for the PastStudents, but much ground work for next year hasbeen covered.

In the past few years, our numbers have beendeclining and it is because of this that difficultieshave been most evident in our attempts to organizefunctions for the students of the school. However,a remedy for this is in the hands of the studentsleaving school this year. We hope you will acceptour invitation to join us in the Association.

Throughout the year, dances have been held and,although these have not been great money-makingventures, we hope they have been popular with thestudents who attended. In addition, social functionssuch as bowling nights and trips to the coast havebeen organized and these have been very successful.

WAVELL HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL

Because of the efforts of the Wavell Past Studentsa combined association for Past Students in the northzone is being formed, and through this we hope tohold larger social functions for our members. Nextyear, we are also going to combine our meeting nightwith a social night.

Again this year our thanks must go to Mr. O'Con-nor and the school administration for the help we Ravereceived, but in particular we must thank Mr. Adsettfor his guidance throughout the year. Our best wishesgo to the students who are sitting for the Juniorand Senior examinations, and we feel sure you willattain great heights in the coming examination.

Finally, I would like to say that all past studentsare welcome to join our Association, and we wouldlike to see you next year. These meetings are heldon the second Wednesday of every month.

House Captains:ELIZABETH BROAD and BRIAN BERRY

Vice-Captains:DIANNE CKOFTON and ROBERT BROUGH

"To An Athlete Dying Young"(By Alamein Houseman (and Women)—with apologies

to A. E. Housman.)

The day you won your house the raceWe cheered you through that rabblous place;Students all stood cheering by,And home we dragged you high and dry.

Today, the track all runners crawlIs clogged with mud so none may lallTo bog you at your threshold downWearing smiles and not a frown.

Eyes that weary work has shut,Cannot see the record's cut,.As silence dies beneath the cheers,And "ALAMEIN" rings through the ears.

Now Alamein won't swell the routOf lads who wore their honour out.Swimmers who renown outswamDid only as the greatest can.

Alamein's the greatest, Alamein's the best.Swimmers, athletes, students,All among the best.Before you start ascending those great hurdles to the

skyRemember! Only our fame will never die.

On a more serious note now, 1969 was a victoriousyear for Alamein. Congratulations are in order to allthose students who gave, as always, of their best toAlamein.

The swimming carnival proved most successfulwith Dianne Coxon and Brian Berry taking out bothopen championships. Runners-up were Alison Aid-ridge and Tony Bartlett. Special merit must be givento Diane and Alison who acquitted themselves well inthe Queensland State Secondary Schools' SwimmingAssociation 1969 Swimming Championships. On thewhole, Wavell came fifteenth out of thirty-five.

During the Winter, Alamein dominated the ath-letics field. Once again Dianne Coxon excelled her-self, as did Christine Charlton in the open division.Because of their fine performances this season, Rose-mary Crosby, Carol Everett and Karen Patterson willprove to be tough competition in next year's openevents. Helen Asplin and Cheryl Ahchee also did verywell, in their division.

Geoff Colborne won the boys' open championship,with Roy Beazley and Stephen Colborne doing particu-larly well in the Under 16's and Lindsay Colbornetopping the Under 14's in fine Colborne fashion.

The standard of competition was extremely highand we would like to thank the other Houses fortheir keen spirit of competition and good sportsman-ship which they showed throughout the year. Ourthanks to Mr. Purdy who has always worked so hardto organize, so successfully, these carnivals.

On behalf of Alamein, we, as House Captains,would like to thank our House Teachers, Miss Badeand Mr. Adsett, for all the support and guidance whichthey so willingly gave us throughout the year.

We hope that the next Alamein House Captains willhave as rewarding a task next year as we have hadthis year.

both Australian and Queensland. The girls were lessprominent. Lesley Kerr gained selection in the Bris-bane Schoolgirls' Softball Team and Jennifer Jones theQueensland U14 Athletics Team.

In conclusion we would like :o thank all theteachers and particularly our house ~aster, Mr. Car-volth, and our house mistress, Miss Eaves, for theirassistance during the year. \Ve -.vculd also like tothank all who either supported cur house or com-peted in events.

This was not the year of the Tigers but we put upsome stiff opposition and we hope that next yearsome of the trophies will come Burma's way. Muchof the credit for our effort must go to the Grade 8 and9 students who put in not only their efforts but alsotheir enthusiasm.

The first major sporting event of the year was theannual inter-house swimming carnival. There wassome strong competition between Alamein and Burmaand it was eventually Alamein who won the Bill BrownSports Trophy. Burma was an unlucky runner-up.

In the girls' events the best swimmers were in thelower age groups. Our most outstanding swimmerswere: Jan Growcott, Wendy Keeton, Susan Jones andVirginia Hill.

"Rats"—Isn't that what we said last year? It stillholds true as once again Tobruk failed to exploit itspotential. Miss Wham and Mr. Campbell had somefrustrating moments, as Tobruk gained fourth (itsounds better than last) place in both the Athleticsand Swimming Carnivals. Never mind, Tobrukians,one day . . . perhaps? At least our cheer squad wasattractively decked out, many thanks to the Seniorgirls and Roxanne.

However, this year, Tobruk has much to boastabout as we had a great cross-section of Queenslandrepresentatives. Greg Thomas was chosen once againfor the Queensland Football Team (it's becoming ahabit). Also> in the football field, Tom Truman playedin the Queensland Australian Rules Team. GrahamWhyte (our star five-eight) distinguished himself bybeing in the Cricket Team, but when it comes to Base-ball, Eddie Tyler plays a great game. Special con-gratulations go to Trevor Walz who broke manyQueensland and Australian weight-lifting records.While in Sydney, Trevor, who captained the Queens-land Team, gained first place in the Lightweight Divi-sion.

In the inter-house sport, Tobruk was well repre-sented and most students showed interest and goodsportsmanship. Congratulations go to all competitors,in particular to those who were successful in theirraces. Our swimmers were Julie Wagner (U16 cham-pion), Allison Stewart (U14 champion), Jan Walls, R.Velnagel, R. Sadlier, Kent Smith, Neil Watts and KenWillmett. Our star Athletes were Gillian Sillett(U16 champion), Joanne Watson (U14 champion), JanWalls and Lorraine Skuse, while the outstanding maleswere Kent Smith, Greg Thomas, Bruce Staib, TrevorWalz, Stuart Van Maarseven and Frank White.

Also in the sporting field, Jan Walls, Julie Wagnerand Allison Stewart are members of the school life-saving team which gained second place in the WorfoldShield.

One bright spot for Tobruk was the outstandingperformance given by our popular house captain,Janet White, in the title role of "Calamity Jane". An-other came with the selection of Trevor Walz as Sports-man of the Year.

We wish to thank Miss Wham and Mr. Campbellfor their interest and help throughout the year, andthe help from the vice-captains, Jan Walls and GregThomas, was appreciated.

Finally Tobruk wishes to thank all of the otherhouses for their keen competition and wishes theSeniors and Juniors good luck in their exams..

School ActivitiesARMY CADETS

Cadet training is an essential part in the life ofmany young people as it helps instil into them a senseof loyalty, self-discipline, self-respect, and developstheir qualities of leadership. It will always stand themin good stead, not only for becoming soldiers, butalso when, later on in life, they take up a position asresponsible members of the community.

A Tuesday Afternoon in the life of a cadet:—1510 hrs. (3.10 p.m.)—A mad race as cadets scram-

ble out of classrooms down to the parade ground. Afinal poli sh of boots and brass then "on parade"! androll call.

1515 hrs.—Company parade. Officers inspect theirplatoons. ("When was the last time you cleanedthose boots? Sergeant, take this cadet's name andput him on Detention Parade!")

1530 hrs.—Platoons march off to respective train-ing areas for the first lecture or lesson ("The Brenis a magazine fed, air-cooled, gas operated light ma-chine gun. It has a rate of fire of . . .").

1605 hrs.—End of first lecture. Five minutes break.1610 hrs.—Begin second lecture. ("Cadet Bloggs,

what is the drill when a section, out on patrol, isambushed by the enemy?")

1645 hrs.—End of second lecture. Quarter of anhour's drill. ("Take care of that rifle, cadet! Wecan always get more cadets but we can't get morerifles.")

1700 hrs,—Company parade, then ("sigh!!") dis-miss.

Unfortunately, this year's bivouac was washed out,but the camps made up for that. These camps arevery essential because it is here that the cadet canput to practice the skills which he has been taughtat school.

They practise such arts as the use of camouflage,i.e. how to make themselves invisible to the enemy,how to walk through the jungle without making asound, drills used on contact with the enemy, how tosearch prisoners, how to cook their own meals anderect their own shelters. The emphasis in this train-ing is on realism, and all training is made as real tothe actual situation as possible. However, somecadets do not think realism is such a good idea asthey remember how very real it was, having to getup early in a freezing cold morning at 0630 hrs. (6.30a.m.).

First year cadets at the Greenbank Camp spenta day on the range where they fired .303 rifles andBren machine guns while the older cadets at theCrow's Nest Camp, fired S.L.R.'s (rifle used by theRegular Army) and the O.M.C. sub machine gun. Toshow how realistic cadet training is made, they werenot only using real bullets but they were also firing athuman shaped targets.

With the approach of the Passing Out Parade,Friday, 10th October (glamour night for the cadets),there were some frantic moments when drill wasbrushed-up and rehearsals carried out. When the bignight came, however, everything went smoothly andafter Colonel Petitt had inspected the cadets, speechesfinished, march past completed, the cadet prizes werethen awarded.

The parade was ended with a general salute anda march-off. The official party was then escorted toone of the decorated rooms for supper and officialintroduction to the officers and other guests.

In conclusion, I would like to thank CaptainMcLucas, Lt. Stanger, Lt. Spring, and Lt. Smith forall their help and guidance throughout the year. Bestof luck to all those who are sitting for Junior andSenior exams.

C.U.O. P. GILLIES.

SEA CADETSThe numbers of the Wavell Division of Sea Cadets

have dwindled considerably mainly because of thelarge number of cadets who left at the end of lastyear. There are a large number of vacancies in thedivision and any interested students should contacta cadet for further information about joining. Justa note to young students who will be fourteen yearsold next year and wish to join. Contact a cadet aboutgoing on the A.C.T. (Annual Continuous Training) overthe Christmas Holidays as this will make you eligiblefor promotion to Ordinary Seaman (equal to Lance-Corporal).

The first of the activities of the year was theextremely successful A.C.T. on which cadets went,shooting on both .303 and .22 ranges, rowing, sailingand swimming, as well as a trip down the river on"H.M.A.S. Yarra". The T.S. Paluma Band at thattime had just progressed from bugles to brass instru-ments and much time was spent in practising. Pourof the six Wavell cadets who1 were not already in theband have since joined.

By the time this goes to print there will have beenat least two week-end band camps at T.S. Palumawhich all the cadets enjoyed. Just ask the cadets!If there were a few more cadets at Wavell, week-endsfor Wavell cadets could easily be arranged as the twocadets v/ho organise the band camps are Wavell cadets.

As well there are opportunities for cadets to takeweek-end trips down the Bay on Naval vessels, bustrips to Naval establishments in Sydney over the Mayand August vacations and the visits to ships in port ofthe R.A.N. and other world Navies.

Wavell cadets also partook in the Navy Weekcelebrations, the main events of which were an "OpenDay" at T.S. Paluma and a Swim Carnival and Marchat Southport on Saturday, 4th October. On Sunday,5th, there was the Seafarer's Service and on Monday,6th, Navy Day, there was a talk given at a numberof schools. Cadets paraded at the Passing Out Paradeon Friday, 10th October, and on Sunday, 12th, theyparaded in the Sea Cadet Ceremonial.

The procuring of training equipment for Cadetson a Tuesday afternoon was somewhat hampered bythe small numbers so that training to quite a degreewas theoretical but this may have accounted for thepromotion of a number of cadets.

All the cadets wish, gratefully, to thank LieutenantMcGuire and Petty Officer Instructor Norrie for theenthusiasm and interest which they have shown to-wards the Wavell Division of Sea Cadets.

A.T.C.These cadets from Queensland Squadron Air Train-

ing Corps attend parade at 7 p.m. every Friday nightat the R.A.A.F. Headquarters. During the Exhibition,Sgt. Lane took part in an Honour Guard at the Bless-ing of the Plough Ceremony. Cpl. Holden, Sgt. Herd,and Sgt. Lane were all promoted after promotioncourses at Christmas at Gatton Agriculural College.Cpl. Absolon also attended a Sergeants' course. L.A.C.White and Kavanagh attended a Corporals' course.

On the week-end of September 20th, Cpl. Absolonattended a gliding week-end held at Kingaroy, and onthe following Monday he and Sgt. Lane attended aninterview for selection for Flying Scholarships forwhich Sgt. Herd also applied.

Hopes are running high for selection in the Cor-poral, Sergeant and C.U.O. courses at the end of theyear. Most of the cadets attended the annual campduring the August vacation at Amberley and a bivouacat Lake Manchester, where cadets enjoyed themselves.

We are hoping that next year our numbers maygrow and we may have the largest school group inthe Headquarters' Section.

RED CROSS CADETSThe Red Cross Cadets commenced activities at the

beginning of the year with a membership of 20 girls.All looked forward to joining in the many activities ofthe unit.

Several cadets were lost at the end of the lastyear's activities owing to the completion of Studies.The office bearers for 1969 were: President, PamelaKing; Secretary, Janelle Strachan; Treasurer, LynBeard. Mrs. Hughes is the leader of the unit.

The first activity for the year was the Red CrossAppeal Collection Day. The cadets raised over $40for the day's effort.

The Annual Fete at Peters Ice Cream Factory washeld in July. The cadets worked on the Merry-go-round, Afternoon Teas and Sweet Stall. This stall isrun by the Juniors and also many of the cadets pro-vided sweets for sale there.

During the August Holidays there were manyactivities for the cadets, especially at the Exhibition.Some of the girls worked on the Lucky EnvelopesStall and also1 some marched in the parade at theBlessing of the Plough Ceremony. Some of the cadetsalso visited Headquarters on Open Day.

Several cadets attended the Annual Junior RedCross Cadets' Camp at Margate in June, and two wereselected to attend the leadership camp at Margate.

There were three of our members—Pamela King,Janelle Strachan and Helen Anderson—selected alongwith other cadets to represent Junior Red Cross atGovernment House to meet the Governor-General onhis official visit to Queensland. This was a highhonour bestowed on the cadet unit.

The cadets carry out their service work at St.Luke's Hospital, Chermside, and also Tufnell Homeat Nundah.

Finally our last activity for the year is the PassingOut Parade in October.

Lastly we would like to thank Mrs. Hughes forher help and co-operation and also we hope the unitcontinues to be very active next year.

PASSING OUT PARADEThis year's glamour night was held on Friday, 10th

October. The stage was set with visitors and parentsof cadets providing a large audience.

The parade commenced when the Parade Comman-der (C.U.O. P. Gillies) took up his position on theparade ground and gave the order to march on. Oncethe parade was halted, it was advanced (turned to thefront) and stood at ease.

When Mr. O'Connor had moved to the dais, theparade was brought to attention and the Parade Com-

mander saluted. The parade was then stood at easeagain to await the arrival of the reviewing officer,Colonel Pettit.

When the Colonel arrived, he was introduced tosome of the other guests while his wife was beingescorted to her position on the verandah. Once theColonel had moved to the dais, he was awarded aGeneral Salute, and then invited to inspect the parade.After inspecting the Navy, Army and Red Cross cadetsrespectively, the Colonel then inspected the Band.With the inspection finished, the parade then marchedpast the dais and the salute was taken by ColonelPettit. After the parade had marched back to theoriginal position, all the cadets were halted and turnedto the front. Then the Advance in Review Order wasgiven and the whole parade marched seven pacesforward. Another General Salute was given and theparade was then stood at ease.

Following this were speeches by Mr. O'Connor andColonel Pettit. The prizes were then awarded byColonel Pettit.

BANDTeacher-in-Charge: Mr. McLUCAS.Bandmasters: Mr. HARTINGDON and Mr. MOORE.Drum-major: JIM WALKER.

This year most of the members were new, but theirmusical knowledge is of a high standard. They provedthis by scoring only three points behind the winnersat the Bundaberg Contest.

The bandmaster, Mr. Hartingdon, an excellentmusician in the Northern Command Band, spurredthe band on. Mr. Moore, a Salvation Army musician,also helped the Cadet Band considerably.

This year we have been very fortunate with instru-ments. We now have four new cornets, four trumpets,two tenor horns, three euphoniums, one new baritone,three basses and nine percussion.

This year is the seventh year since the formationof the band, which has gradually progressed from abugle and drum band to a brass band. Miss Hunterhas now started a pipe band. This will consist ofsix pipers and the usual percussion.

It must be realized that the band would not existexcept for the help of the Parents and Citizens' Asso-ciation. The band would also like to thank Mr. Mc-Lucas, Mr. Hartingdon and Mr. Mcore for their effortswith the band.

SCHOOL CONCERTOn 4, 5, 6 June our Annual Musical was held at

Kedron High School Hall. This year's choice was thatfavourite of stage and screen, "Calamity Jane". Theall-student cast was headed by Janet White in thetitle role and Peter Deslandes as Wild Bill, both ofwhom gave very fine performances. Anyone unfor-tunate enough to miss this production missed a splen-did evening's entertainment. Much of the credit forthe success of the show must go to that most accom-plished pianist, Graeme Morton, and to the producers,Miss Bade and Miss Wham, together with Mrs. Page,who arranged the dance sequences. Special thanksmust also go to the Art Department and the ManualTraining Section for their invaluable assistance inmaking this a first-class performance.

BIOLOGY CLUBThe Biology Club was initially started by a group

of students who wished to do extra experiments inbiology. This soon expanded into a group of studentsinterested not only in biology but in all fields ofscience. Two clubs were formed: The Junior BiologyClub and the Senior Biology Club, and officers wereelected. The Chairman of the Senior Biology Clubwas Warren Blee and of the Junior Biology Club, JohnHoey. These posts were rather informal and theirjobs were mainly that of the co-ordination of efforts.

In the Senior Biology Club there were a numberof activities started. A large amount of work wasdone by Lloyd Lester on the relationships of micro-scopic organisms living in water. This proved a lotof fun. Another group of students headed by CranMcLean successfully grew some interesting bacteria.The rest of the club broke up into three main parts.One group, led by Stuart Cameron, was interested incolour blindness and carried out some extremely suc-cessful experiments and won prizes in both the WavellState High School Science Contest and the Queensland

Science Teachers' Association Science Contest. Thesecond group, the core of which was Ross Faulknerand Stephen Jarvis, was interested in astronomy andcarried on with a project titled "Astronomy As AHobby", and also won prizes in both competitions.The third group became the Photography Club, whichis practically independent but is still more or lessaffiliated with the main body. This has continuedvery successfully under the leadership of Ian Burrowsand John Absolon.

Since its beginning and initial organization theSenior Biology Club, unless specially requested by amember, has carried on with very few meetings. Onthe other hand the Junior Biology Club meets regu-larly every Wednesday afternoon.

Some of the activities of this club have been filmsand also talks by some of the members on such topicsas "Ant Colonies". They have as well gained experi-ence in good microscope and laboratory technique.Some practical experiments have also been carried outsuch as the dissection of small animals, growing ofplants and a mouse maze. This is frustrating not onlyfor the mouse at times but also for the students.

WAVELL HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page Twenty-Five

They have had a trip to the Museum and it ishoped that a trip to a rain forest such as the areaaround Binna Burra may be arranged for the endof the year.

All the students wish to thank Mrs. Reznikov forher enthusiastic help and guidance throughout theyear and also the other science teachers who readilygave up their time to help the students in theirendeavours. Everyone connected with the BiologyClub looks forward to next year and we hope forrenewed interest after the lapse during the ChristmasVacation.

DEBATING SOCIETYThe Debating Society swept into full swing in July

with the highlight of the debating year—the JAYCEE"Youth Speaks for Australia" Competition.

The Wavell team, consisting of Karen Tovell (1stspeaker), Greg Malyon (2nd speaker), Janet Harding-Smith (3rd speaker) and Susan Wighton (reserve), metPadua College in the first round, debating the topic"That There Is Nothing New Under The Sun". Des-pite the fact that the team members were novices atcompetitive debating and possessed little prior debat-ing experience, Wavell, in the affirmative, was suc-cessful in defeating the Padua team 273-242 after anenjoyable and entertaining debate.

In the second round, Wavell was defeated 214-211by the more experienced Brisbane Boys' GrammarTeam, after Wavell debated in the affirmative: "ThatCensorship is Necessary".

The Society thanks Mrs, Lipsky and Mr. Dohertyfor their enthusiasm and help, and hopes that theirinterest, and the interest shown from all quarters ofthe school, will serve to promote this exciting, exact-ing and entertaining form of public speaking at theWavell High School.

INTER SCHOOL CHRISTIANFELLOWSHIP

The I.S.C.F. group has functioned again this yearwith a pleasing increase in the number of studentsattending meetings. Special interest was shown inthe visits of various guest speakers during the year.A mothercraft sister and a policewoman from theJuvenile Aid Bureau addressed a large number ofinterested students. At the visit of Mrs. Pickersgillfrom the Women's Prison Aid Society there were morecurious listeners than the room could accommodate.All the students who attended these meetings foundthem informative and thought-provoking.

We would like to thank Miss Ladlay who has ledthe group again this year. We wish also1 to expressour appreciation to Mr. O'Connor for his active sup-port of the group.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave hisonly Son, that whoever believes in Him should notperish but have eternal life." (John 3 : 16).

QUOTA QUESTThis year Wavell was represented in the Quota

Quest by Janet White and Ruth McDowell, who spokeon "Australia Today" and "The Need For Specializa-tion In Our World Today", respectively. The judgingof the ten candidates from the North Brisbane Zonewas held at the Kedron Assembly Hall late in May.Each girl was interviewed by a panel of judges onvarious topics in the afternoon, and also gave a talkthat night. A senior student from The Gap HighSchool was the winner in this division and, as a result,represented the zone at the finals held at Nambour.The overall winner, the school captain of Gympie HighSchool, received a University Scholarship valued atS500. Many thanks are to be given to the Quota Clubfor their interest in youth and their generosity.

LIONS' CLUB YOUTH OF THEYEAR QUEST

In April of this year, John Illingworth, TrevorWalz and Kent Smith represented Wavell High in acompetition designed to test character and publicspeaking on a national basis. Prizes in past yearshave included trips to America, Asia and Antarctica.This year, Kent Smith was successful in winning theChermside Club judging. The compe:i:ion was verywell organised by combined clubs, and trie boys wishto thank officials of the Chermside Club for theirencouragement to, and interest in, young people aboutto take their place as citizens in the community.

ARTISTS' WORKSHOPThis year, we as the art student 5. nave met the

challenge of many projects in crier tc broaden ourunderstanding and deepen our approbation of art.

The practical programme has included excursionsto various city art galleries where trie v.-crks of con-temporary painters and sculptors were reserved. In-cluded in this was the exhibit: :n :: Srace^Age Art atthe Queensland Gallery. This v.-e :";ur.d exciting andthought-provoking.

a part of our programme, as this can form a founda-tion for the animated painting,

By finding a balance between the theoretical andthe practical side of our course, we have found thereexists a wider scope in artistic values.

SOCIAL COMMITTEEThe members of the Social Committee have en-

joyed participating in the various activities under-taken to raise funds for the school this year.

Dancing classes were organised for first term, andin May we held two successful Record Hops. We feelin the future the response may be even more enthusi-astic. The teachers probably do not agree with us,but we did hold a car wash during second term. Aswell as washing many cars, we managed to includeourselves, much to the amusement of our spectators.

At the School's very successful production of"Calamity Jane", we organised a canteen and providedthe audience with a supper at interval.

At present we are busily engaged in the prepara-tion for the Third Annual Dinner Dance, which we

hope will be the social highlight of the year for ourSenior students.

We should like to thank Miss Dunn and Mr. Adsettfor their assistance in all ventures undertaken. Ouryear's effort has enabled us to donate one tape-recorderand one slide projector to the school.

LIBRARYThis has been an exciting year for the library with

a Commonwealth grant of §4,000 a year for the nextthree years at least and a new Commonwealth librarybuilding to look forward to early next year. Thisbuilding which will be approximately eight squaresin size and carpeted throughout will consist of a mainlibrary area, conference rooms, carrels for individualreading and a film room.

This year then has consisted of a concerted effortto prepare book stock for the new library on the partof Miss Dobson, Miss Hunter and the subject mastersand mistresses who have bought the books, and mem-bers of the P. & C. Association and pupils who haveprocessed them.

At the moment Wavell has 4,000 books. The imme-diate aim is to increase this book stock to 6,000-7,000 inthe nexxt 3 years. The ultimate aim is a book stockof about 13,000 or more volumes.

One of the most interesting library events of theyear was a school visit to' the Book Fair held in theCity Hall from September 23rd to 26th.

On exhibition was the finest collection of Frenchbooks ever to be shown in Australia in addition to amagnificent selection of books from about thirtypublishing houses.

Another new feature this year has been the institu-tion of library prizes for pupils whose work in theschool library has been outstanding. Winners of thisyear's library prizes are: Warren Blee, Peter Beckerand Dennis Radecki.

The library wishes to extend particular thanks tomembers of the P. & C. Association who have givenup their Wednesdays to library work, to the girls in10C1 who have done extra typing and to the 9C2 classwho have spent a great deal of spare time coveringbooks.

GRADE 8 MUSIC COMPETITIONThis year, for the first time, an inter-class music

competition was held for the grade eight forms. Stu-dents were able to1 compete in at least ten sections,giving the students a chance to display either theirvocal or instrumental talents. The standards of theirperformances were, on the whole, high. Several win-ners were Jenny Sellars, 8A9 (Girls' Vocal Other ThanPopular); Greg Richards, 8A7 (Instrumental Solo);Judy Cheesman, 8A8 (Girls' Vocal Popular), 8A1 GroupVocal.

First place went to 8A1 and second to 8A7. Chris-tine Howard, 8A1, was awarded first in the finals forher piano solo, "Sparklets". Janet Hauritz, 8A1, willbe awarded for her efforts in gaining more points forher class than any other contestant.

WAVELL BUSHWALKING CLUBThe idea of a school bushwalking club was first

considered during the May vacation en route to theCarnarvons. Later, sixty students unanimously decidedto form a bushwalking club.

Regular meetings were held every Thursday at1 p.m. and a committee was elected. This committeeplans all proposed trips under the guidance of Mr.Duncan and Mrs. Woodroofe. The members comprisemainly 12th, llth and 10th form students. Parentshave assisted with both of the trips by providing trans-port but in the future it is hoped that buses can behired.

The first trip of the club was to the Glass HouseMountains area. Here the energetic walkers reachedthe summits of two of the peaks. The first mountaintackled was Beerwah. It was rather steep for thefirst two hundred feet but after the half-way markwas reached, it was reasonably easy walking to thetop. Beerwah is the highest mountain of the groupand the reward for the climber who reaches the top,is a panoramic view of the Queensland Coastline.Tibrogargan was the more difficult of the two to climb.The sides were steeper and more dangerous to climb.

There were no casualties, as safety was always of firstimportance.

A month later was the proposed trip to the Laming-ton National Park. This outing took the bushwalkersseventy miles out of Brisbane through TamborineVillage and Canungra to O'Reilly's Guest House. Usingthis as the starting point, the bushwalkers set out ona six miles' hike to one of the look-outs. The chosentrack went through rainforest and reached the borderof New South Wales. This particular walk offeredto the bushwalker three breath-taking views of thecoastal ranges, Mt. Warning, and the ocean.

During the August vacation several of the girlswho take Home Science were busy making tents inpreparation for an overnight trip to take place earlyin September. Minto Crags, at the foothills of theGreat Dividing Range near Mt, Barney, was our des-tination.

The club plans to hold about four trips per termand some trips to look forward to, are the "Wild-flower Week-end" at Wyberba National Park, nearStanthorpe, in October; a day trip to the Cunning-ham's Gap area, and last but not least—our "Lazy"week-end at Noosa after "those" exams.

Carnarvon Trip Report"A wonderful trip", "I had a really good time",

"The good times we had all together are what I re-member most", "More food next time—please!" "Theteachers were our companions as much as the otherstudents".

Friday, 2nd May, 19691—and in the early hours ofthe morning lights were already burning and theexcitement of last minute preparation was in the air.This was the mornnig of departure of the Wavell HighSchool Carnarvon Party. Seven teachers, Miss Bade,Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Woodroofe, Mr. Carvolth, Mr.Duncan, Mr. Mills, Mr. Stanger, and students met atthe school and boarded the two Continental coachesthat, it was hoped, would see them through the sevenday journey.

Some delay was encountered. However, this servedto kindle among members of the expedition the sparkof comradeship, which later was to become campfire-bright, deep in the Carnarvon Gorge.

The school was left behind under a drizzling sky,as, after a cheerful and noisy farewell, the coachesstarted on the first day's journey which would takethem a few hundred miles to Injune; and as drought-stricken areas were passed through, it was significantto note the attitude of students, many of whom hadnever witnessed drought at first hand. They wereconcerned and had been made more aware of Aus-tralia's drought problem by actually seeing it—as later

they also were made aware of Australia's naturalbeauty and of the necessity for protecting it.

That night, after coach trouble at Roma, a dashwas made to Injune with ghost stories, etc., adding tothe general atmosphere. Beneath the full moon andwith ears keyed to the wailing of distant dingoes, theparty laid out sleeping bags under the stars—a noveland satisfying experience. It was made more excitingby the fact that our first night was spent settled on theInjune cricket pitch!

The first camp breakfast received campwidenotoriety; however, not much acceptance! But somehours later we were able to feast our eyes on thebeauty of the Arcadia. Valley. It was not only thegroup of geography students who found this crossingof the Great Dividing Range spectacular. Yet, eventhis was overshadowed by the magnificence of theCarnarvon Ranges when the coaches pulled into basecamp at lunchtime.

Previous plans were revised and it was decided theparty would camp as a whole, the first camp beingon an island three miles up the gorge. Three milesup the gorge, many creek crossings and a hasty dinnerlater, people fell into their sleeping bags!

In the gorge itself the beauty is rugged anduntouched, and in the four days-that followed everymoment was alive with adventure and things to see.The aboriginal paintings at Cathedral Cave and The

W A V E L L HIGH SCHOOL A N N U A L Page Twenty-Nine

Art Gallery were visited. Alter camp was moved backto an island closer to base camp we trekked up toAljon Palls—the water that fell into the dim cavernmust have been the coldest on Earth; and the bats,aroused at our coming, were certainly real—yet noneof our company would have missed it.

Nor missed the afternoon hike to the Amphitheatre—indeed it was strange to think that such a placeexisted and that if you hadn't come on the trip youmight never have seen it. But you had come and thatnight around a roaring campfire you were there.

The Carnarvon Campfire Court was convened, theHonourable Mr. Duncan presiding, and, in turn, every-body was charged. The charges were hilarious "but,then so were the punishments. Some particularlyinspired "accusations" had the gorge ringing with theechoes of our laughter. In the Carnarvons, the skyat night is clear, yet the stars never rose more to theoccasion than when we all sang "Waltzing Matilda"into the darkness outside the campfire.

The following day was our last in the gorge and wehiked back to base camp, stopping en route to climbup to Hellhole. Most were forced to stop becauseof the dearth of good ropes, but some of our adven-turers went on and reported later that the less intrepidhad missed out on something. This seemed hard tobelieve for where we had stopped, ferns dripped fromevery rock in the loveliest hues of green, creating oneof the most picturesque scenes we had come acrossin the gorge.

At base camp that evening we rallied around thecampfire with the Mount Gravatt Bushwalking Group;however, as "early to bag, early to rise" was our

motto of camplife, we adhered to it, and the followingday were on board the coaches on our way to Glad-stone. It seemed to1 most that the inspection of theMoura Coalfield that day was worthwhile as was thetour through the Gladstone Alumina Plant the fol-lowing day.

The previous night had been spent, thanks to thekind hospitality of the Gladstone High School Prin-cipal, in the recently opened Domestic Science wingof that school.

It was late in the night on Thursday, 8th May,1969, that the coaches, one load singing "The Carnar-von Song", pulled back into the Wavell High ground.In the last minutes everyone must have had his ownthoughts.

The trip was successful. Student reaction showedthis. A useful and relaxing week had been spent ina rugged, beautiful place. Students found self-relianceand independence within themselves had been strength-ened while having the opportunity -.0 er.-jy the warmthof companionship.

The overwhelming reaction was: ""-.£- wonderfulteachers". Students had found their teachers to behuman beings with the faults of hurr.an beings butalso the admirable qualities. There had grown afeeling of deep gratitude and respect towards theteachers who unselfishly took the brunt of work ontheir shoulders. This and the friendshirs termed willsurely prove a boon in school.

Every member of the week-;:.-.? tr:r has madememories and friends. I'm sure that there is morethan one student who is thankfu: ::r rein 2 a memberof the Wavell High School Carr.ar.tr. Expedition,

At First HandIt was not a sight to inspire confidence. You

would not have thought that taking off a man's fingerswould make such a mess. The casualty room at War-wick Hospital seemed scarred under the bright fluores-cent tube by the red blotches which lay spatteredover the sheets, the pillow and the tiled floor. Amass of old bandages, deep brown, caked, lay acrossthe sink. There were several enamel bowls filledwith instruments. These were also stained.

"The doctor won't be back tonight. You had bestbring him back for an x-ray in the morning."

"What time?""Between ten and eleven."We were a little relieved. We had come in from

the Methodist hostel at Cunningham's Gap where wehad stopped over night. Paul had hurt his back whileplaying French football after we had finished workabout 5 p.m. that afternoon. After tea it had becomepainful and swollen so we drove the 30 miles intoWarwick Hospital just to make sure. The Campsuperintendent who drove said he was used to suchtrips.

Nevertheless we were not strr. -; leave-the hos-pital that night at eleven o'cl:-:V. ir.i re'/im to thehostel.

We had already decided t: :r.ar.|e : _t plans. Wehad planned to return via Heiier rre-rl-i Ttriugh Gattonto Brisbane on this the second ;;:. :;' tur last fieldtrip for 1968.

We had read of the storm which bad devastatedKillarney the night before. ">Ve de-ridec ::• continuewith the first part of our £lar. f : r Friday—to climbMt. Mitchell, then return via Kil.irr.r-. ~-.e Head ofthe Condamine and Boorish

We rose early, and the bus took us shrouded infog, to the start of the walking tr^.:> r.glit in the gapitself. Three miles and an hour later some ten ofus stood at the summit of Mt M:t:r.ell \Ve jokedabout the marvellous vie-.'.- and i':•:_- :ur skill asmountaineers. Here -,ve -•'-:- .-. -;r r : ; t of S.E.Queensland. On a clear day we could see forever!

But here at seven o'clock on the 2?-.h o* Novemberwe could see about ten yards ir. frtr.t :' us. However,as we walked down, the fog cleared and we could see,

Page Thirty W A V E L L H I G H S C H O O L A N N U A L

On The TraU

three miles away across the 2,000 ft. deep gap whichlay between us, Mt. Cordeaux, the fortress-like bulkwith all but its summit bright in the clear early morn-ing air below the cloud. To the west the valley ofGlen Gallon Creek widened onto the undulating yellowsand browns of the Darling Downs.

Down, breakfast, good-bye, and we were on theway to Warwick. The country we passed throughhad freshened up after the rain of the two days before.

There was a certain air of expectancy as we turnedoff the New England Highway towards Killarney.

Three miles out and still no sign of the stormthat had made news headlines the day before.

Then a hundred yards off to the left a thousandgallon tank clung like an untidy bandage wrinkledand wrapped around the base of a gum tree. Thenanother tank. This one just off the road crumpled tothe size of a ten gallon drum. Then the first house-splayed loosely on its stumps—roof gone and furniturescattered over acres of ground. The hillsides behindthe town in the distance lay littered with the greymatchstick branches of the ringbarked gum trees.

We topped a rise and on the right the sight of asmall school apparently untouched drew a wisecrackfrom the back of the bus. But most of us werelooking to the left where the lines of parked oars andthe small cemetery came into view as the bus stoppedand the black hearse crossed our path and turned offto where the cars were waiting. We made no connec-tion at the time but that night at home we read ofthe death the day before of a young girl injured inthe storm.

As I said, we did not connect it at the time becausewe were unprepared for what was to come.

As we passed along the poplar drive which led intoKillarney the scene had the outward appearance of aquiet country town. Yet as we began to enter thetown it soon became apparent that not one house hadescaped.

Most of the houses we saw were in ruins. Thesawmill was fantastic. The neat rows of stackedtimber I had seen years before had exploded crazily

Killarney

over the large timber-yard and its surrounds. Logsthat man could not lift rested impossibly in randompiles.

We had planned to stop in the town to stretch ourlegs and give those who wished, a chance to buythings at the shops. This was plainly impossible asthe town had ceased to function. People were pickingthrough the ruins of houses and shops and clamberingover the skeletons of roofs.

There were no sightseers, and we felt that wecould not stop and look and take photographs. Thesepeople were in too much trouble. The only thing wecould have conceivably done was stop and help andthis was not possible under the circumstances. So wedrove on slowly through the town. Most were, likethe town, shocked and amazed. We had expecteddamage, we had found devastation.

Five miles later as we climbed up towards thehigh valley of The Head we could pick out the trackof the storm that had struck so suddenly. From ourhigh position the town and its surrounding jing ofdevastation sat tinily in the hundreds of square milesof untouched open farm and grazing land around it.

How strange that the narrow track of the storm hadchosen the town in preference to the vast spaces whichlay to the west. How many other such storms hadpassed unnoticed in those green rainforests of theGreat Divide which lay behind us and up which ourbus now crawled.

Morning tea, Queen Mary's Palls, and miles of talleucalypts and bellbirds and then the high valley ofThe Head of the Condamine. A high green valleybelow the towering rainforested slopes of Mt. Wilsonand Mt. Superbus. On one side was the highest moun-tain in Southern Queensland and a few yards awaythe mesh rabbit fence of the N.S.W. border holdingback the rain forests.

The landscape looked almost un-Australian as redand white Herefords grazed against the greenness ofthe lush Kikuyu grass below the line of the rainforest.The lowering hoop pines which had been left standingin the valley floor added to this impression.

We stopped to photograph a giant Cumulus cloudwhich appeared to be following us and now soaredincredibly white in the clear air behind Mt. Wilson.

All day the cloud followed us. By the time wereached Boonah we photographed it now overheadand to the south, as the characteristic anvil head ofice cloud floated gossamer-like 40,000 feet up out of themassive woollen top of the now Cumulonimbus stormcloud.

As we drove towards Ipswich the storm swungsouth ahead of us and at Peak Crossing we ran fromthe sunlight into the last of its tail and the bus wasforced to crawl as we travelled for five miles throughblinding rain.

Ipswich and sunshine again. But we were notthrough yet and while we drove through CentenaryEstates the storm was blocking our view of Mt.Gravatt. We arrived at school five minutes before itdid.

This was just one of thirteen trips we have hadsince last year. It was certainly the most eventfuland will be long remembered by those who went onit because of the things we saw and experienced atfirst hand.

Even so there will be few Grade 10's who willforget their two hours underground at Westfalen coal-mine, the view from the water tower at Swanbank,or sitting among the Avocado trees at Alec Kidd's farmon Tamborine.

All in all we visited eighteen farms, firms andresearch stations and we would now like to take thisopportunity to thank them for their time, and thetrouble that they took to make this year's field tripsthe enjoyable, concentrated educational experience thatthey were.

Sports NotesATHLETICS

This year's athletics season commenced on a morehealthy note than in previous years.

After the annual inter-house sports carnival, Wavellwas able to field quite a strong team for various inter-school trials (against Sandgate, Redcliffe, Cabooltureand Everton Park) leading up to the Zone Carnival,This particular meet, held at the Exhibition Grounds,is regarded as the heats for the State-wide Q.S.S.S.S.A.finals in September. At the zone carnival, although wedid not win we were able to secure sixth place whichis better than in previous years.

Good performances were shown by all competitors,but those who qualified for the Q.S.S.S.S.A. semi-finals with placings were:

Joanne Watson, placed first in the zone TJ14 agegroup in 100 metres, 200 metres, long jump andshot put.

Stephen Colborne, who won both 1500 metre and800 metre races in the U16 age group.

Jan Harding-Smith, who, in the Open section, wonthe 80 metre hurdles and secured second in theJavelin and third in the 100 metres.

Jennifer Jones, won the U15 long jump.Geoff Martin, won the U16 400 metre hurdles.Geoff Colborne, secured second in the Open 1500

metres.Lynda Norman, second in Open 400 metre sprint.Nola Lyell, who ran third in 1116 80 metre hurdles.Gary Birdie, who won his way into the semi-finals

with a place in the TJ15 boys 100 metres.Our open girls relay consisting of Janet White,

Lynda Norman, Cheryl Malyon and Jan Harding-Smith,secured third place to enter the semi-finals also.

All these athletes competed in the knock-out semi-final at Lang Park on September 26th. All of theabove reached the finals except Gary Birdie (Badluck, Gary!) and the Open Girls' Relay.

Wavell certainly was doing well! This was per-haps the biggest team the school had ever had com-

peting in the finals. The carnival has competitorscoming from as far away as Mt. Isa and Rockhampton,as well as all Metropolitan State High Schools.

The finals (27th September) arrived and everyone(including competitors) had butterflies. The first eventwas the U16 400 metre hurdles and our representative,Geoff Martin, was placed fourth.

As the events were run, barrackers cheered (ha!ha!) our athletes on to gain the most points everreceived—66 (27 for boys and 37 for girls).

Outstanding performances were Stephen Colbornewho won both IT16 1500 and 800 metres in record times.Congratulations Stephen! Our small U14, JoanneWatson won the long jump, second in the 100 metresand sixth in the 200 metres. Another performanceworthy of mention was Jenny Jones who secured thirdplace in the U15 long jump.

Others who ran and secured minor placings (re-member these are all creditable as they are regardedas fourth to eighth best in the State) were Jan Harding-Smith, fifth in hurdles and sixth in Open Javelin;Nola Lyell, sixth in U16 hurdles; Geoff Colborne,sixth in Open 400 metres.

These athletes showed great sportsmanship andhave worn our colours well.

Let's hope that next year Wavell can do as well—if not BETTER!

BOYS' GOLFThe team performed creditably throughout the

season, losing only one match. After the loss of ourfirst three players last year we were left in a consid-erably weakened position; however, the players im-proved considerably and with the help of the scoringsystem, we were able to win the remainder of thematches.

The team was: Bruce Shackleford, John Illing-worth (vice-capt.), Jim Hopkins, Tony Bartlett, AndrewMcCracken, John Absolon, Ken Lambert (capt.).

The scores were: Wavell defeated Aspley 17-12,Banyo 21-18, Clontarf 18-15, tied with Kedron 21-21, andlost to Sandgate 12-22.

Sandgate was undefeated and therefore becameautomatic North Zone premiers. However, we did wellenough to be zone "runners-up".

We would like to thank our "coaches", Mr. Mc-Guire and Mr. Tucker, for their assistance throughoutthe season.

GIRLS' GOLFOnce again, this season our team enjoyed a good

competitive term of golf. Our home course was Vir-ginia, which was host to a few of our inter-schoolmatches.

Despite a marked reduction in the number ofgirls taking golf as a winter sport this year, we stillmanaged to field a team of five players and two re-serves. Unfortunately we did not manage to enter theMetropolitan Finals, being narrowly defeated by Clon-tarf 3-2 in the North Zone Finals. We were otherwiseundefeated in the North Zone. This is creditable asthroughout the term our team was constantly beset byinjuries, ranging from dislocated knee-caps to pulledarm muscles to being hit on the head with a golfstick!

Another good game was had by all when we playedNambour High on their home course earlier last term.

Although the weather was not the best, spiritswere high and we finally defeated Nambour 4-1.

Players in the team included Jan Harding-Smithwho led the team and went through the entire seasonundefeated. Congratulations, Jan! Ruth McDowelland Kim Edwards, second and third players respec-tively each lost only one game.

The remaining places were creditably filled byChristine Oberthur and Debbie Kehrer who also playedwell during the season.

Our hopes for next .year are high. Several teammembers are currently playing in the Virginia StudentGolf Club, which is run every Saturday morning onthe new nine holes there. The club was organizedby Mr. Huxham of Kedron High to enable studentplayers to learn the rules of golf.

On behalf of the girls' team we thank our teachers,Mr. McGuire and Mr. Tucker, for their patience andhelpful advice throughout the term.

BOYS' TENNISA GRADE

This season, Wavell again had two representativeteams in boys' tennis—A and B. Our coach, Mr.Campbell, saw a great future for both teams whichproved strong competition for all schools in theNorth Zone. The A grade, captained by Peter Herdand led to victory by the number one player, RodKempster, had a very stirring season, being narrowlydefeated by Clontarf in the sub-zone finals.

WAVELL HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page Thirty-Seven

All players in the A grade—Peter Herd, Rod Kemp-ster, Noel Percy, and Daryll Koch—played with win-ning combination which took them to the sub-zonefinals.

B GRADEThe B Grade, captained by Robert Ferguson and

consisting of Robert Ferguson, Garry Koch, StephenJarvis, and John Hewitt, also played winning tenniswhich took them to the Metropolitan Finals in whichthey were defeated by Yeronga by 13 games.

Previous to this, Wavell had crushing victories inthe North Zone and also in the Metropolitan Semi-Finals where they were the victors over Kelvin Groveby 22 games.

Both teams represented Wavell on the sportingexcursion to Nambour where they upheld WavelFssporting tradition. Thanks to1 the experience andstratagem of our coach, Mr. Campbell, and the interestshown by Mr. Alcorn, we were again able to representWavell with much success in Boys' Tennis.

GRADES 8 & 9A new arrangement for separate sports' days for

Grades 8 (Tuesday) and 9 (Thursday) gave theseyounger players greater use of the school's facilitiesin tennis although these players were not eligible forinter-school competition, the competent guidance pro-vided by Mr. Alcorn should prove that this "tennisnursery" will form the basis of strong Wavell teamsin the next few years. Prominent youngsters hereincluded Ian Rothman.

SATURDAY FIXTURESAgain this year, Wavell fielded eighteen teams in

Saturday afternoon fixtures conducted by the Men'sMetropolitan Tennis Association, contesting the A4,A6, A7, A8, A9, Bl, B2, B3 and C grades. It is felt thatconstant match play in these fixtures has given ourplayers the necessary Singles and Doubles experiencefor inter-school tennis as well as providing a verysatisfying means of recreation.

CHAMPIONSHIPSIn the School's Open Singles Championship, Rod

Kempster played consistently to secure the M. Wilkin-son Cup with a win over Daryll Koch in the final,whilst in the Under 15 Singles Championship the hon-ours went to Ian. Rothman. The School's DoublesChampionship went to Rod Kempster and Peter Herd.

*GIRLS' TENNIS

A GRADEIn tennis this season, the Wavell A team has been

quite successful. This year we have three new mem-bers, two from last year's B team, Lorraine Skuse andGlenda Beazley, and a girl new to school tennis fix-tures, Karen Tovell. Karen proved a strong asset tothe team all through the season.

Out of our six or seven matches that we played,we lost only one, to Banyo; however, the game weenjoyed the most was the one against Kedron, mainlybecause Miss Hass, now Mrs. Hauff, a former teacherat Wavell, was in charge of the girls' tennis. Ofcourse there was some friendly rivalry.

All the girls enjoyed the trip to Nambour, butunderstandably we were a bit disappointed that mostof our games were washed out by the persistent rain.However, we were delighted that we gave Nambour agood fight in the first set and won 6-5, after ourterrible defeat at the hands of the Nambour girls lastyear.

Finally, the girls would like to thank all thosewho took an interest in the tennis fixtures all throughthe season.

B GRADEAlthough not quite as successful as last year's

victorious team, our Girls' B Grade Tennis Teamthis year played very well, winning all but two matchesin the North Zone.

The team members were Jar. Joyce, JanelleStrachan, Julie Wagner, Wendy Haynes and Lyn Beard.All members played at their ce=: =r_cl showed goodsportsmanship throughout the ;ea;:.r..

Our keenly awaited trip tc Xarr.oDur turned outto be disappointing, weather.vise. ar- -re were unableto complete our matches. Hc-.vever Xambour's hos-pitality ensured that a mos: er.::ya~:le day was had byall.

Our only loss of the season was on the first inn-ings to Kedron. Wavell was all out for eighty-five inreply to Kedron's mediocre one hundred and four.A do or die effort was needed from Wavell againstMetropolitan Premiers Sandgate if we were to winthe Premiership. After losing two wickets for seventy,Wavell crashed to be all out for eighty-one. With asustained effort, Greg Thomas bowled Sandgate outfor seventy-five, taking eight wickets. On the secondday, Ian Matthews batted well for thirty-six quickruns in Wavell's second innings score of one hundredand thirty-eight (declared) for four wickets. Sand-gate toppled in their second knock to be out for eighty,thus giving Wavell an outright win and the NorthSub-Zone Premiership.

We met the other sub-zone leader, Clontarf, atHarchant Park. Clontarf batted first and were outfor eighty-four. Peter Cunningham bowled well, tak-ing five wickets for twenty-four runs. After a middleorder crash, Wavell secured a first innings win, helpedby Stuart Hartingdon's rugged fourteen runs not out.

Graham Whyte topped the batting averages withforty-one runs, followed by Peter Cunningham withthirty-one average and Ian Matthews twenty-two runsaverage.

Greg Thomas took twenty-four wickets for theseason. Peter Cunningham secured thirteen wickets,while Graham Whyte took twenty-one wickets. Valu-able contributions to the team as a whole wereafforded by Bruce Shaekleford, Mark Toovey andRoss Rideout. Fielding at times was something to bedesired, however, usually it was quite sound.

The team would like to extend its thanks to coachMr. McKenzie for his astute umpiring and for hissupport throughout the season.

B GRADE CRICKETDuring the season we were consistent in that we

did not lose a single match; however, some were notwithout their tense moments. In our first match wewere dismissed for 90 and fought back to a strongerposition. However, rain beat play and the matchwas a draw. Only on a few occasions did the weatherdash our hopes and because of our strong first inningswins and outrights, we were in a healthy position forthe match of the season. Our rivals at Kedron foundthemselves under a strong attack both in the battingand bowling. They admitted defeat on the firstinnings, time having beaten play for the completion

WAVELL HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Page Thirty-Nine

of the match. At this point in the season we werean undefeated team and had therefore to play offwith Sandgate (also undefeated) to decide the NorthZone Premiers. Much enthusiasm was put into thismatch as we were out to recapture the title whichour team had won for itself last year. However,despite a strong effort by our team in Ross Matthews,our opening bowler, and our opening bats, GrahamSwain and Mick Pearce, we were unable to regainthe Premiership and had to be content with being"runners up". Our tail-enders proved their worthin this match by decreasing Sandgate's win to onlytwenty runs in the first innings before being dis-missed. The general condition of the team through-out the season could well be credited to the effortsof our coach, Mr. Spring, and on behalf of the teamI would like to thank him for the time he spent withus.

BOYS' SWIMMINGThis year an attempt was made to make all houses

iqual. This was in the form of allotting sections ofthe alphabet to each house. This proved highly suc-cessful in the Inter-house Swimming Carnival where

Burma was narrowly beaten by Alamein with Kerenand Tobruk filling the minor places.

Final points were: Alamein 495, Burma 451, Keren405, Tobruk 392.

Three records were broken, these being by NeilGynther (one) and Alan Median (two). Winners ofIndividual Championships were: Under 13, Ian Ken-yon; Under 14, G. Lee; Under 15, Alan Median; Under16, Neil Gynther; Open, Brian Berry.

Wavell participated in the North Zone SwimmingCarnival. The result was in doubt until the pointswere announced. Aspley had beaten Wavell by thenarrow margin of only a few points. CongratulationsAspley! Swimmers who deserve a mention for theireffort include R. Crossley, R. Manley and G. Lee.

The Zone Carnival served as heats for the StateSecondary Schools Championships. Boys who reachedthe finals were N. Gynther, A. Median, L. Schneider,the Under 15 and Under 16 Belay teams,

Neil broke the Open 100 metres Breaststroke re-cord and two races later won his own age event. Healso figured in four other finals. Alan gained a second,a third and a fifth, Lawrie a seventh, and the Under16 Relay team came fourth. Wavell came fourth inthe Boys' section with 67 points.

From the State Championships, a QueenslandSenior team was selected to compete in the AustralianChampionships at Perth. Neil Gynther was selectedin the team and won the Australian Open 200m. Breast-stroke Title. This is a magnificent effort consideringNeil is still a Junior.

We would like to thank Mr. Purdy, Mr. Greddenand Mr. Roberts for their time and effort at theWavell State School Pool on those early Tuesday andThursday mornings. We would also like to thank theHeadmaster of the Wavell Heights State School, Mr.Stevenson, who let us train in the pool.

GIRLS' SWIMMINGThis season the House Carnival was a tremendous

success as enthusiasm was high and this enthusiasmwas repeated in the North Zone. But our hopes weredeflated when Wavell was unseated from top position(held for three consecutive years) by a narrow, and byno means shameful, defeat by Aspley.

In Q.S.S.S.S.A. Wavell scored a not insignificantplacing of fifteenth in a total of 35 schools.

Outstanding efforts in girls' swimming this yearwere by Judy Payne, Alison Stewart, Susan Powell,

Julie Wagner and Diane Coxon, who were the cham-pions of their respective age groups at the house car-nival.

We wish to thank Mr. Purdy and Mr. Gredden fortheir valuable aid this year. Let's all hope Wavellwill regain its status as top North Zone school withthe possible advent of an active swimming club.

*A GRADE RUGBY LEAGUE

For the third time in succession Wavell succeededin reaching the final of the annual Knockout Carnivalheld at Cavendish Road High. After 3-0 victories overstrong Camp Hill and Cavendish Road sides, Wavellran out winners by 8-5 over an impressive Kedron side.Graham Whyte for the second year in succession wonthe Coca-Cola award for the most points scored duringthe carnival.

Later in the season Wavell contested the intra-State carnival at Kedron with teams from all overQueensland competing. A much injury-depleted Wa-vell side managed to chalk up a win, a draw and aloss.

After our victory in the Knock-out, Wavell set itseyes on the metropolitan premiership. This year sawthe advent of sub-zones. Wavell had easy victories

over Hendra and Sandgate, the scores being 45-0 and31-2 respectively. Next came the Wavell-Banyo clashwhere after a spirited match Wavell emerged victorsby 7-0. Following Banyo came Kedron. In typicalWavell-Kedron tradition the match proved to be oneof the best of the season in which Wavell completelyoutclassed its arch-rivals by 15-0. After defeating Red-cliffe by 23-0, Wavell emerged as zone premiers.

Wavell now entered the quarter and semi-finals.Wavell won both games against Wynnum-North andNewmarket by 11-2 and 9-2 respectively. Wavell nowentered the grand final to be played at Lang Parkagainst Camp Hill. Here we suffered our first defeatcf the premiership competition where Camp Hillscored 10 points in the last 10 minutes to win by 10points to 9. Congratulations to Camp Hill! GlenHornibrook won the best back award while GregThomas won the best and fairest. Deserving specialmention in the final were Robert Brough in the cen-tres and Dave Mullins in the front row, both of whomhad outstanding games, while Graham Whyte excelledin the kicking department.

This year Wavell sent its various teams to Nam-bour for the annual meeting. The "A" grade wonconvincingly by 32-0 with John Rapkins having a goodgame. The team suffered a number of injuries duringthe season. Barry Fordham suffered a broken arm,Brian Berry a broken wrist and Craig Cronin a brokenjaw. Jim Franklin returned from injury to add atower of strength to the side.

A number of the team represented various Bris-bane sides during the season. These were GregThomas (captain), Glen Hornibrook, Dave Mullins,John Rapkins, Peter Hull, Jim Garrod, Mark Tooveyand Alan Median. Greg Thomas was selected in theQueensland side to tour N.S.W.

Deserving special mention is our coach Mr. Purdy.He managed to mould a somewhat raw side intogrand-finalists. Not only is he the coach of Wavellbut he has the honour of being the coach of theBrisbane and Queensland "A" grade secondary sides.

This year Wavell was fortunate enough to haveits own masseur, Mr. Franklin. Without his expertservice we would have been unable to field an efficientream on many occasions. To Mrs. Mac. we give oursincere thanks; and finally thanks to all those sup-porters whO' followed us through the season—yourencouragement was greatly appreciated.

B GRADE RUGBY LEAGUEOur team worked well considering that we had

no real practice sessions and when we did, a recordwas set by an attendance of five members. We hadno one for coach, but Mr. Norrie saved us by volun-teering.

The games were cut short because of the estimatedearly arrival of the bus but, four times out of five, itdid not arrive so we had plenty of walking practice.Ian Richardson scored the most tries for the tearr..Bill Young helped us gain points through his drop-kicking and he also proved to be a good hooker.

deserve a special mention for in the season of 10games Ross scored 14 tries.

The team played two social matches, one againstNambour whom we defeated 11-3, and the other againstPadua Under 15's, whom we also defeated, 16-3.

Three of our team members represented the Bris-bane 9 stone 1 team during the season. They werePaul Gillies, Ross Jolly and Ross Matthews-Frederick.

Finally we would like to thank our coach, Mr.Duncan, for the time and effort he put into our train-ing during the season.

A GRADE VOLLEYBALLWell known to all Volleyball fans is the principle

that the losing team of each game serves first in thefollowing match. With the exception of three games,during the past season, your A grade Volleyball teammanaged to chalk up a record of first serves.

The greatest advantage to the team was our big,tough champ, Denise, who insisted on serving the ballwith such force that she terrorized the opposition tothe extent that their best efforts were of no avail. The

mystified refs, not being able to find a rule to accountfor these "rather unusual" tactics, had no choice butto award the game to the opponents. It was a cuteidea,Denise—but it really wouldn't catch on.

The team, comprising Marilyn Born, Sue Kainu,Stephanie Scott, Joyce Schukraft, Denise Phillips,Chris Jones, and reserve Virginia Doubleday, submitthis report to be recorded in the annals of Wavell High.We are pleased to make our contributioin to^ the longtradition of Volleyball failures.

To posterity we leave a standard not hard to beat.Thanks, Miss Eaves—it wasn't your fault!

B GRADE VOLLEYBALLOur original B grade team consisted of Christine

Jones, Karen Patterson, Katherine Webster, Lee Adams,Sue Kainu and Carol Everett. After some alterationsto the team by our coach, Miss Eaves, Christine andSue were put into the A grade team and Sandra. Kingand Nicole Hunter replaced them. Out of six gameswe won three. Our best players were Lee andKatherine.

Best players this season were Dianne Nethercote,Cheryl Malyon, Robyn Amos and Dianne Shorney. Ourtwo wings, Jan Walls and Dianne Nethercote, were ableto carry the ball down the field successfully. Ourgoalie, Cheryl Riding, kept up her strong defence.

The opposition also played a good strong gamewhich kept the team moving and enabled us to losegracefully or win gallantly. The members of the teamwould like to thank Miss Ladlay for coaching us.We would also like to congratulate the girls' B gradehockey team on winning the Metropolitan Premiership.

GIRLS' B GRADE HOCKEYWell the end of season came and for the first time

Biding. (N.B.: She is reserved for the hockey teamnext year and not for football—Mr. Purdy).

In our first match we played Hendra and wonconvincingly 15-0. Our next three matches againstSandgate, Banyo and Aspley were all wins, 3-0, 7-2 and4-0 respectively. Then came our only defeat, whenwe played Kedron and went down 2-0. Our next matchwas very close, the final score nil-all, but on penalties,6-4, Wavell defeated Caboolture (on a cow paddock?).Again we played Kedron; this time for North ZonePremiership, and this time we won 3-1. The visit toNambour was enjoyable with the game ending inWavell's favour, 3-0.

Wavell then played the Corinda Team (South Zone)in the semi-final, and we won 3-1. The next matchwas our hardest yet, against any team. This was theGrand Final against Mt. Gravatt, and at full time itwas 0-0. In order to decide the winners another tenminutes' time was played each way. In the first fiveminutes, Wavell netted two goals and later Mt. Gravattnetted one. Eventually we came out on top, 2-1. Ourteam for the season was Cheryl Ahchee, Janet Allison,Wendy Brooks, Sandra Cook, Barbara Cowling (capt.),Lisbeth Dunlop, Bobyn Magowan, Elaine Miles, Kay

Pigott, Barbara Prickett, Cheryl Riding, Linda Sarafov,Jenny Stevens and Yvonne Wilcox.

Finally, and most important of all, we would liketo thank sincerely Mrs. Humphreys, and particularlyMiss Ladlay for coaching and encouragement (in aloud voice) from the side line. This really stirred usand we hope next year's team will be as fortunate aswe were.

BOYS' A GRADE HOCKEYCoach: Mr. McKENZIE.Captain: DEREK RIDEOUTVice-Captain: GREG THORNE.

Wavell's team this year, while not doing as wellas last year's team, still performed creditably and, bythe end of the season we had won 3 and lost 2 of our5 games.

Our first game was played against Sandgate atSandgate and in a slow scrappy match we deserved tobe defeated 5 to 1. The following game was playedagainst Banyo at Shaw Park and we played superiorhockey to win 3 to 0. We then played Aspley on theirhome ground and we defeated our opponents 9 to 0.

Our next game was played against Kedron to decidewho would oppose Clontarf for the North Zone Pre-miership. In a hard, fast game we were defeated 1-0.The Kedron-Clontarf game was won by Clontarf whowent on to win the Metropolitan Premiership for thesecond year in succession.

Then came the trip to Nambour and in bad play-ing conditions we beat our opponents 15 to 0.

Derek Rideout, by being a member of the BrisbaneUnder 16 Team, was the only Brisbane representativein the side. There were many other Brisbane andState representatives in Grades 8 and 9 but they couldnot play in our team.

Lastly we would like to thank Mr. McKenzie forthe time and effort he has put into our coaching andfor umpiring our games throughout the season.

GIRLS' A GRADE BASKETBALLIt appears that this year things (games) have not

gone so well for our A grade basketball; however,don't get the idea this is because the team is notgood, quite the contrary—we think we are the great-est!! (we are also very modest and wish people couldshare our opinions as well).

Nevertheless it is my opinion that we played verywell and the other teams were excellent, especiallyKedron, which eventually won the Brisbane finals.The Banyo team was particularly good also; howeverthey were unfortunate to lose to us (one of the gameswe won). The match against Nambour was the moststimulating as we tied.

The main obstacle to our winning was heightdifferences. Such players as Gillian Sillett and DianeBowerman who are about 5 feet 2 inches in height hadgreat difficulty in grabbing a ball from a great 5 feet9 inches player of the opposition. Even though theheight differences were great, these two players, alongwith Christine Charlton, did especially well. The twotaller players, Carolyn Sinnott and Sue Askew, playedwell also, with Sue goaling fantastically all season.

I would like to say a special thank you to theteachers who tried so hard to improve us during theseason. At least we all enjoyed ourselves tremend-ously and accepted defeat gracefully. I would like togive my sympathy to next year's basketball team andhope they do a little better than we have in the lasttwo years.

A GRADE SOCCERThis year the A grade soccer team was seeking its

third North Zone Premiership and, with no fewer thanseven players from the 1967 Premiership winning team,our confidence was fairly high.

We won our first game against Kedron the easyway—a forfeit. Our pre-season confidence was de-flated somewhat when we lost our second game,against Hendra, 3-2. This loss cost us the Premiershipas we did not get a rematch, and Hendra entered thesemi-finals. The real heart-breaker occurred on theday of the semis when Hendra did not even show upto contest.

However, this was to be our only defeat as wewon our remaining matches without difficulty. Our

third game was against Clontarf. Coming from 2-1down we eventually ran out comfortable winners tothe tune of 5-2. This was a vast improvement on ourfirst performance and newcomers Kent Smith, AndrisBeaumanis and Alan Carse showed they were learningquickly and played like veterans.

Premiership fixtures came to an end with a gameagainst Sandgate. We completely overran the Sand-gate defence, putting the ball past their goalkeeperfive times to run out convincing victors.

Premiership games over, we arranged a "friendly"game against Kelvin Grove, and for the first time inthe history of Wavell Soccer we defeated a team fromanother zone. With Neil Webb seeing the game fromthe other side of the white line owing to injury, weacquired the services of Rules player, Geoff Martin,to fill the right-wing position. Producing the bestsoccer ever by a Wavell side we completely overranKelvin Grove in the second half to add two moregoals to our margin of one-nil at half-time to run outwinners 3-0 With Bon Harrison wearing the "keep-er's" shirt, Bruce Staib was able to make his debutas a field player.

Neil Webb and Paul Bancroft were the leadinggoal-scorers for the team, scoring three goals each.The team's goal aggregate for the season was fifteengoals, with five against them.

Last, but not least, the team would like to thankMr. Doherty for his coaching and interest throughoutthe season.

UNDER 16 SOCCERDuring the past season our B grade Soccer team

has been successful in keeping on top, and with solidtraining organised by Mr. Doherty every Monday after-noon, we became the North Zone premiers. Up untilthen we were undefeated. We played our inter-zonefinals very well but were unable to win.

MEN'S BASKETBALLThe men's basketball team did not have one of

their best years in as far as winning games goes, butwe were successful on a number of occasions againstBanyo. Our most glorious victory was that againstthe "Teachers" team, when we defeated them 26-10 atthe Rode Road courts. We have not had the sameteam during the whole year so that it has been diffi-cult to organize a stable team. We hope that when weget courts at school, more all year interest will beshown in basketball.

The A grade consisted of R. Brown, P. Huxtable,R. Claybourn, B. Kirk and B. Jarrott during secondterm. First term there were also P. Hull, M. Jorgen-son, G. Hornibrook.

The B grade consisted of I. Matthews, R. Batche-lor, A. Linklater and D. Taylor during second termwith W. Young and D. Stubbs during first term.

JUDOJudo is a sport to be studied and mastered accord-

ing to its rules and ceremonies. It develops not onlythe body but also the mind, which is just as impor-tant. Once a person has acquired the art of judo Itis curious to note how he now strives for competition,

perhaps because a judo competition is between twoplayers and he is the only person who benefits fromhis own training.

This year, although judo was not carried on as asport, Wavell sent a team of six players to Nambourfor some competition. Although we lost, the team didvery well for themselves as we lost by two pointsonly and had only one practice beforehand. The teamconsisted of Paul Thompson, Paul Fletcher, PeterBecker, Kim McGrath, Robert Manley and PeterByrne.

AUSTRALIAN RULESThis year, Australian Rules at Wavell improved

greatly. The A Grade won two games but sufferedfrom a lack of opposition as there are only fourteams playing Rules in the North Zone. Sandgate,the top team of the North Zone, won the premiershipand congratulations go to them.

After starting the season rather badly, the teambecame more organized owing to the coaching of Mr.Jones and Mr. Baptist. Players to play well wereLaurie White (capt), Paul Martin, John Gregg, JeffMartin, Gary Birdie, Robin Nuss and Tom Truman.Laurie White was selected in an open schoolboys' sideto play Townsville and Cairns, and Paul Martin, Tom

In previous years weight-lifting was a relativelyunkown sport among high schools. As recently as lastyear Wavell Pligh was probably the only school inQueensland that carried out weight-lifting as a sport.It is surprising to note that this year a total of fourhigh schools are taking up this sport seriously. Theseinclude Wavell, Nambour, Hendra and Kelvin Grove.

The "Wavell Lifters" have more or less re-writtenthe State and Australian record books. It was thistime last year we mentioned in the School Magazinethat Stan Pertjowski was only a hundred, or so work-

The large number of boys who train at the gym onsports days and lunch hours are in debt to Mr. Paceyand Mr. Duncan who have been so generous in con-structing instruments of torture for us such as: Squatracks, abdominal boards, calf machines and benchpress racks. They have put in much time to improvethe facilities of the gym.

Weight-lifting is a hard sport which requires muchconcentration and determination. Anyone taking upthis sport seriously must be prepared to devote hisspare time to training if he wants to succeed. If itwere not for the encouragement offered by Mr. Paceyand Mr. Duncan we would not have climbed to suchheights; so to Mr. Pacey and Mr. Duncan we all offerour thanks.

A GRADE SOFTBALLCoach: Mrs. HUMPHREYS.Captain: CHRIS CHARLTON.

Throughout the season the A team has been quitesuccessful in winning most of its games. The hardestgames we played were against Kedron, where we wentdown to be beaten by a narrow margin, Nobody

will ever forget when we played at Banyo (the worstplaying field we ever played on), where we camehome with wasp bites and many different types ofinjuries. Congratulations go to Joanne Morrison andChris Charlton who represented Queensland early thisyear. The team should be credited for the good sports-manship and team work, after all we did come secondin our zone. Finally, we would like to thank Mrs.Humphreys for the good advice and fine coaching.

B GRADE SOFTBALLThe team's performance during the past softtaall

season has been very good. We won the finals forthe zone (very close with Kedron) and were narrowlydefeated by Nashville in the inter-zone finals.

The positions are: G. Roden (capt.), catcher; Y.Wilcox (vice-capt), pitcher; J. Brewer, 1st base; G.Sillett, 2nd base; E. Tanzer, 3rd base; D. Bowerman,short stop; S. Askew, left field; V. Crank, centre field;J. Wilson, right field; with O, Geschke and R. VanBlarcom reserves.

CONGRESS OF SOULSThe earth sheds her grasses and foliage

To the warm, soft embrace of the sea;As he faces his love and surrounds her

With his warmth, and his tears, and his glee.

Untouched in enraptured seclusion;Warm fringes exploring her shores;

A green earth delightfully rendersHer love with no lies and no flaws.

As the ocean's instincts are invitedFor the body sprawled warm in the sun,

Rays of light filter down from the heavens—The creation of life has begun.

Waves ripple on beaches and inlets,Arousing the sweet-scented land:

And warm currents surrender their secrets;Fondling earth with a sensitive hand.

Softly falling, the rain ends the congress,Earth is swollen and full—with no strife;

Peace and love have been brought by the ocean,Who has given his lover his life.

TONY BABTIJETT, 12A2.

place to fill in society, is an exciting and challengingproposition, for it is the individual's task first to findhimself and then to find his place.

If you dare to be different, to be yourself, youwill find it a hard, unfamiliar and sometimes bitterroad. There will be times when you will wish youhad never started—you will wish you could go backto coasting along in the easy undemanding way, butonce you take the first step you can never go back,because you can never again be satisfied with halftruths and part-time living.

But there are rewards which compensate for allsuffering. You will have moments of great certaintythat what you are doing is right—that because youare being as you must, your life has some meaning,some greater purpose than mere existence—and thissurety and peace of mind the cool "in people" cannever know. You will find yourself able to do thingsyou never dreamed possible—and you can, because youhave a belief, a faith in your own value and worthas a human being.

But what I am trying to say, another has said somuch better—"The names of those who in their hearts fought for

lifeWho wore at their hearts the fire's centre.Born of the sun they travelled a short while toward

the sun,And left the vivid air signed with their honour."

JILL TAYLOR, 12A1.

"INDIVIDUALITY—A MEANS TOA GREATER END"

You who are reading this are unique. There neverwas anyone exactly like you, with your particularcapabilities and talents, your strengths and weaknesses,and there never will be. You have a place to fill insociety, you have a job to do, and if you do not do it,it will forever remain undone, for no-one else canfill your place and do the job you have neglected.

Be honest! How many of us playing our parts inthe drama of life are acting out roles to which we arer_:t fitted and for which we were not meant. Mostpeople feel an urge to' be one of the crowd, to bess everyone else is, to go along with what the majoritythir.ks. This is a dangerous habit to fall into.

The ultimate value or ideal is truth and theultimate responsibility which we owe to ourselves isto be true. This is the only way to gain the respectof others, and, what is more important, our own self-respect. To be true you must never, for the sake ofpeace and quiet deny your own convictions. You willrisk censure and derision but will gain personalpeace and satisfaction from the knowledge that youacted on your belief.

To me, the realisation that every person has anintrinsic value as a living being, and has a specific

"SELF"I sit, I hear the sound, of rain falling on the ground,And my own tears seem not to make a sound.My sorrows hid by greater trialsOf people all forsaking smilesAnd thoughts of them pass through my mind,But pity is so hard to find—

For someone else.

On self my contemplations rise,My "self" grows till it meets the skies.But once more the rain rings in my ears,I stop, and ponder through my tears,I smile and my "self" grows quite smallAnd those that now seem so tall-

Are other selves.JENNY STEVENS, 12A2.

RACISMToday, we live in a world where people are start-

ing to face up to reality and are questioning basicattitudes and principles. They can see a world ofprejudice, racism, war, degradation, insecurity andhatred.

The Negro inherited the American dream of anearthly Utopia with Lincoln's Emancipation, Proclama-tion. Now he is disillusioned at society's failure togive him his long overdue and "inalienable" rights—-and with these, his self-respect. His rebellion against"Whitey" is because of his newfound pride in MsAfrican identity. He has to reconstruct his own pastand he must do this before he is psychologically freeto meet the white man on an equal level, thereforewhites cannot adopt a paternal attitude.

In America, white is an attitude, mainly of apathy,and black is a condition. By its refusal to helpestablish the Negro economically, socially and psycho-logically, White America traps the Negro in a cycle ofprejudice and poverty that denies his humanity anddestroys his dignity.

The U.S.A. condemns South Africa for its apartheidpolicy, yet is not America the same with its ghettosand rejection by the white man in jobs, housing andeducation?

Racial discrimination denies the common father-hood of God and the brotherhood of man.

To qu Dte Bob Dylan—"How many times can a manturn his head pretending he just doesn't see?"

JANET ALLISON, 11A4.

*THE DINGO PACKS

A drover sits quietly under a treeAfter a day's hard work with the flock,

And as the day draws near to a closeHe's resting his head on a rock.

A dingo, howl disturbs the peace,He site up quickly and grabs his gun,

The dingoes are out to get some meat,After the setting of the sun.

The drover gets upon his horseHe spurs it to go faster,

He's out to warn the blokes at the station,And tell his ageing master.

For the dingoes will come to slaughter the flock.For the meat they have wanted for days,

And the sheep are running in frenzied groupsAt the sound of the dingo bays.

Two hundred and fifty were in the flockBefore the dingoes came;

But they ran amok among the sheepAnd that night one hundred were slain.

Are these the beasts that God willed,Or did they come from Satan?

This animal, that for pleasure killed—-Not all they killed were eaten.

A dingo howl disturbs the peace,On some other Outback station,

Another murder of helpless fleece;This seems to be their fashion.

SPRINGThe stark white trunks of the tall gums bedaubed

with green foliage blended superbly, as only Naturecan, with the pure blue canopy above. Not even asoft, wispy cloud spoiled this illusion of perfection.

On the land, although drought conditions pre-vailed, the golden wattle had blossomed in full gloryof this day. It swayed in a gentle breeze, whilst themale cicadas, seeking refuge in its boughs, chirped.These creatures could not be duped as to the comingsummer, and, as if to warn of its threats, charredbranches swore witness to such.

Heavy silence brooded. Even the garrulous cicadaswere not to be heard, as overhead the mighty bird of

prey—the golden eagle—soared. It was a tense mo-ment as, with a regal tilt of the head, its shrewd,black eyes surveyed its surroundings and nervoussubjects. It was an evil moment . . . The eagle hadgone and for once had left no> blood trail behind.

Long, sinister shadows were forming, and towardsthe west the great charioteer of the sky could scarcelycontrol his magnificent beasts that homeward plungebehind the mountains. Full blood red rays extendedhigh into the heavens.

With the stabling of the beasts, the last of theglorious spring days was over. Tomorrow a new daywould dawn. Summer would be here with new hopefor the future.

FORGIVE ME!Living, but caring to die. Dying but caring to live.

On and on, mile upon mile, around and around and . . .The thirst is flaming now, leaping into the depths

of every living cell. While the sun pours down inces-santly "circling" above like a black crow waiting,waiting. The end is near.

I trailed on and on, not caring about the achieve-ment that was to have been, only wondering how muchlonger my parched soul would tread these grey, gritty,hissing sands.

There is a tree up ahead! Life! Water! Yard byyard, hour by hour—no1 tree—no water, just a miragelike all the past miles of the last living days.

Who am I? What am I doing? Where am I going?I just cannot tell, I feel like a madman walking upona hot conveyor belt, slipping under me. The crowis circling lower now.

My wife, my little boy, please remember me, Ican't make it to see you this year. Next year maybe,I ... I will get to see you. John, please look afterMary and tell her I will see her soon. May God for-give me for breaking my promise to you . . . it's flamin'hot out here . . . If I had a knife I ...

I think that I have been walking in. circles, thefatigue is gripping me, thousands of arms are stretch-ing out to grab me. Foot by foot—I can't go on, Iwill sit down just for a little while. Peace, Peace.Everything is quiet, the hot breeze whispers the Ser-vice into my ears, the sand is hot. The thirst haseased now.

Oh! Mary give my love to Mum. The sun is inmy eyes. Tell . . er . . Dad I tried — it's blinkin' hotout here like a fire in Hell. Forgive me Lord!

Silence, hot, yet cold silence. One human bodyin a haze of heat. Maybe they will find me, sometime,someday;; shaking their heads together over my whitebones, murmuring, "One hundred yards from a water-hole!"

SANDRA KING, 11A4.

MOON LANDING . . . AND THEN?What a climax to months of mental and physical

stress and strain! What an accomplishment! Whatpride and excitement would have tingled through theveins of every last American! The world saw andknew that three men had now become pioneers ofOuter Space by no less a task than walking onanother heavenly body. But perhaps they did notknow that for the eight days that these men were in"space" the expenditure on Earth was as high asfour million a minute. Perhaps they did not remember,in the heat of that moment of triumph, that evencloser to them than the moon, people were dying.Yes! dying; lying dead in the streets; and nobody cared.Biafra, India, Asia, and even Australia and Americaheld people who are born and raised in the dirt and::l:h of the time, and who die back into eternal:~::vion well before they should.

U A Y E L L H I G H SCHOOL A N N U A L

We cannot escape the fact that every expeditioninto Outer Space is paid for with human lives. Liveswhich might have been saved and have brought somewarmth into a cold world; but which were heedlesslycut short and thrown aside.

Certainly we send food to such peoples, but thiswill not keep away those stabbing pains of hungerand want forever. White man's ways have provedmore than often, helpful, to these people. Trainingis the basic step. Why not use this "moon money"and take a few more steps? Is this so difficult?

But why stop now when we have just jumped thefirst leap into opening up the rest of the universe?But what good can come from it? Yes, we shall learnto colonize other planets but this will take manydecades and in the meantime our most immediateneighbours are dying at an ever increasing rate.

Is it planets or people we want? I fear this ques-tion will soon lie in our hands.

SONJA HASS, 11A2.

WAITINGThe glare from the midday sun that shone in

through the uncurtained windows reflected on thebare white walls and for a while it dazzled me. Iglanced at my companions. An old man was asleep,oblivious of his surroundings. He looked so haggardand drawn none of us wanted to wake him to theharsh reality of the life that existed outside thedreamworld he was in. A small girl aged about fouryears old sat on the edge of the seat—excitement andanticipation on her small round face. I felt sorry forher, blissfully ignorant of what waited behind theclosed door. A young woman was nervously claspingand unclasping her hands. I felt a mutual bond ofsympathy with her. A young man with a ratherforced grin on his face sat opposite me, trying tolook brave and failing utterly. It was the waiting thatmade me nervous, just waiting and waiting and notknowing what new forms of torture they wouldinflict upon us. A piercing scream was heard fromthe room beyond. I felt a sudden anger surge upwithin me. Why us? We had done nothing wrong. Wewere just ordinary people, victims of the sadists inside.Suddenly heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor.There was deathly silence as we all instinctivelylooked towards the door. Whose turn was it? Whowould endure the inhuman acts of cruelty next? Thedoor opened and I was informed by a grim old womanthat it was my turn. Half-frozen with fear, I remainedglued to the seat for a second, then slowly I stood up,giving myself time to calm down. On legs that hadbecome strangely wooden, I walked into the room,with the air of one sentenced to death in the electricchair. As if in a trance, I sat down, sick with fear.A door opening behind me made me start.

"Ah yes, I remember you. Well, well, well, howare you this morning?" said the familiar, hearty voice.Then I turned and settled back in the chair, biddinggood morning to the dentist as I did so.

REALLY!After all that time, George Sandby was positive he

had perfected it. If his computations were correct,this discovery could revolutionize the world's starva-tion problem.

For the dimacromolecule (DMM for short) wasan extremely rich food, so much so that one ounceof it could satisfy the food requirements of a hundredpeople for days. Testifying to this, was the fact thatGeorge had been forced to send three of his bestassistants home during testing with either severeindigestion or just excess weight. The beauty of itall was that DMM was available to any person whoowned an ordinary, everyday boy's chemistry set andfor this reason it was released to the world beforeGeorge felt he had completed testing. Because ofthis, George did not touch any DMM until testing wascompleted.

As he expected, the DMM took the world by stormand the inevitable cases of overdose and obesity wereencountered. G. Sandby and the DMM were hailedas the century's greatest discoveries as the once-starv-ing people of the world soon became rather plump.Earth would NEVER be the same! George receivednearly every honour known to mankind includingseveral coveted Nobel Prizes and a knighthood beforehe tore himself away and back to testing.

What a shock! Despite DMM's many good sidesit had one extremely bad one—being a macromoleculeit was extremely unstable. The whole world was

literally a walking bomb except for one George Sandby,"public hero number one", who was now hurriedlypacking his things and heading for the Himalayas.

As George bedded down for the night, somewhereelse in the world a particle of dust floated in an openwindow and someone sneezed.

ALAN KENYON, 10A1.

OUR CHERISHED LANDBeauty is so clearly visible,

In this, our cherished land.Why ruin a country of creation

With one small flick of the hand?

Australia is a wealthy landAnd we are the wealthy people.

From the deepest of our mines,To our highest church steeple.

Our golden shores and luscious pastures,When shall they all be free?

Free from the flood, fire and other destructions,Which strike from nature's decree.

Tall trees, blue skies, cool, clear waters—Surround us from every direction.

So let us hold them within our grasp,And ensure our own protection.
