Struan 1966 - Adm.monash.edu.au - Monash University

Much of the success was due to the Phys. Ed. staff and individual teamcoaches.Thus it can be seen that the College carried on from where it left off in 1965,and we, the outgoing committee, wish the College all the best for 1967.VOLLEY BALL- Colin Coutts- Alison TuppenThis year 'saw the introduction of mixed teams to the inter-college volleyballcompetition.

The next game saw the end,and the match score was 3-2 after playing the last game for points.During the year we played a social night match against Monash University"B" Grade team, and won five games of the ten played, the women's teambeing undefeated.Much of the credit for our successes goes to our hard-working coach andastute umpire, Mr. Ray Giles , who inspired every member of the team withthe will to win.
