TENTH ANNUAL MAGAZINEEDITORS :IANCHESTERFIELDDON BEGBIECAULFIELD TECHNICAL SCHO OL

FOREWORDBY THE PR INCIPALTechn ical education has really hit thehead-lines. The launching of the Russiansatellites has shown j1lst how far scientific andtechnical knowledge has developed. in the lastfew years. Our own progress in technicaleducation is on the move. gradually throwingoff the shackles of conservatism andcomplacency, Community interest in our activitiesis more and more manifest. Each vcarit becomes evident that education is b ~ingsnore recognized as a vital factor in the developmentand security of the country. Itforms the most vulnerable part of our economy. Schools are becoming more and moredependent on guidance from Irulusiry, professionalInstitutions atul the University, aswell as from barents. Leading industrialistsand educators are paying frequent visits to ourschool to help our students select and develobthose natural aptitudes which hold for eachthe greatest happiness and contentment. andwhich hold for society the greatest usefuln essand service. Contact with the outside worldis one of the most vital factors in the successfuloperation of a technical school.All sections of the community must makesome contribution to the training of responsible,disciplined citizens. Our problems arecommunity problems. It is necessary to formadvisory committees to assist in the operationof particular aspects of our courses. Assyllabuses ore varied to meet the changing reoquuemenis of industry, more and more expertadvice from outside organizations is sought.Th e year 1957 was intended to mark a newera in the historic life of our school for theDiploma wing was La be extended. to accommodatethe anticipated record enrolment,\V ell, the record enrolment eventuated butth e additional accommodation didn't . Shortageof class-rooms this year gave rise to timetablediff iculties worse than ever before experienced.Irrun ovisaiion to meet emergenciesbecame part of our daily life and itwas only by the cheerful co-operation of staffand students that we got through. T he staggeringof th e lunch hour, the lise of the elect­TOn ics laboratory for Physics practical work,the abandonm ent of all part-time day hobbyclasses, the curtailment of apbrentice classes,the acquisition of art class-rooms for theteaching of engineering with consequentoverloading of art classes, the continued useof AfJplied Engi neering laboratories and theLibrary as theory class-rooms, and the establishmentof classes of forty instead of thirt y,all helped to keep the school functioning. Itwas most heartening to see the spirit withwhich both staff and students accepted theseemergency meosures.It is {Jleasing to report that seven newclass-rooms should be ready for occupationby the end of April, 1958. A contract hasbeen let for the erection of these rooms onthe roof of the Diploma wing and constructionhas already commenced. In order toprovide tenibcrary accommodation duringfirst term next year, arrangements have beenmode to oex u{JY the Recreation Pavilion adjacentto the school. Th is will provide twoadditio nal class-rooms.Staff changes for th is year constituted a record.The promotion of Mr. Buchanan toPreston, and Mr . David as Principal of T ottenhamT echnical School, left r~ a p s difficultto till. Th e appointment of 1\4r. Jordan asHead Master gave us great satisfaction. T his\V(L~ short-lived as he has been fJromoted toCollingwood Technical School in 19 58. Hisplace will be taken by Mr . \V ooc1s, at presentHeed. Master of Box Hill . Th e transfer ofMr. Hall to Preston 1vas a severe blow to OILrCarpentry department. On the credit side ofthe ledger the promotion of a number ofteachers within the school gave us greatpleasure as it provided further evidence of th egrowth and importance of the school. Th esefortunate teachers included Messrs. Hal/Jin,Fl)'nn, HO/Jwood, KnafJp , Davc)' , Broadfoot,Davis, Tal/nton and Bydder. Th is satisfactionwas somewhat offset by the promotion toother schools of Me ssrs. Hunt, Christianson,Ross. Ap/Jleton . Richards and a number ofStuclent Instructors. Among the new a{Jpointmerits we were pleased to welcome M essrs._Mills, Middle ton, V erge, O'Brien, Coote,Birch, Carlos, T onkin , Serin , Flanagan. Hannah,1\)'an. Underwood, i\llen. Devlin, Hand .Harrison, lanes. Lascelles, Lawrence, Norris,Pace, Becker lind a number of teachers intraining. Thes e changes indicate the tremendousactivity that is going on i/1 technicalschools and arc indicative of the developmentof the school.2

Magazine Committee"A nd some, whil e th eir companions slept,\V ere toilin g up ward in the night."CHESTERFIELD, Ian.len's getting a collection of photos. Each year he bobsup in front of the magazine camero and says " cheese" withmuch enthusiasm. He looks as if he 's just heard hi s examresults. That famous sm ile in th e face of ad versity w ill carryhim a long way. He's co-editor of the magaz ine, secret ary ofth e S.R.C. and a member of the Social Committee. His affectionsare equally divided between the Austin 7 and Eunice.When the Austin stalls so do es Eunice. Any rate she 's olden ough to be his w ife.BEGBIE, Donald.We've seen that face befor e. We never forget a fa cebut hope to do so this t ime. Dons on numerou s co m m itt ees aswell as co-ed itor of this magazine, ca pt a in of the baseballteam and hi-fi enthusiast . His tape rec ordings cover the lecturesof three men-or one wo m a n. His ex am inat ion resultslook like the national debt or even a brewery di vidend. Youcan't pull the wool over his eye s. He ha s one of those inquiringminds which found aut early in life that the stork hadto o short a w ing-span to ca r ry on eight to ten pound load.Don can t race his family t ree to the doys when his familyli ved in it.GRAHAM, Lindsay.Here we are f irst with the worst. Lindsay can out-doElv is Presley even to the side-boards . H is work at the concertwa s a combination o f Johnny Ray, Frankie Lane and Elvis.Lindsay is su re to become a celebrity and soon will be famousenough to wear dark glasses t o ovoid being recognized. He' sa serious lad who, when he wonts a job done, does it himself.H is production of the schoo l concert wa s a most pro iseworthyeffort. His biography read s like a who-dane-it. I hate to talkabout him behind his bock but its so f er that wa y.4

.I&.!FLOOD, John.Last year John was full of ambition to become a soldier.He 's grown up now and just wants to be a husband. He 's onall round sportsman and with the aid of a Diploma and acoup le of thousand a year sh ould make the grade. After alla man ne ver knows real happiness until he's married, thenit's too late. My wife a nd I hod 20 years of ecstatic happiness.Then we met. Still we know that man is incomplete untilhe 's married. Then he's finished . John's saving up for thegreat day. We notice that he 's quit smoking, but he hasn'tquit fuming. Good luck to him anyway.BLOMBERG, Richard.Open-the-door Richard is a man of great cu ltu re. Hishi-fi records with rock and roll accompaniment are his mosttreasured possessions. His regular donee partner is also alass of great culture, wearing mainly a Mona Lisa smile. Hermind is a closed book. But it comes in on attractive wrapper.When Richa rd's rocking and roll ing becomes too boisterousshe g ives him a look that should be kept in a scabbard. It'sfunny how these short ballerina skirts have a tendency tomake men polite. We've never seen a man get on a busahead of one. Richard's serious approach to all p roblems willcorry him far.ALLAN, Michael.This dark serious lad drifted from Oakleigh Tech., wherehe left his mark. They've since rubbed it off. Apart from abroken leg and a couple of broken hearts his stay here hasbeen uneventful. He 's interested in all things fast and notcarrying surplus weight. Even his racy Austin 7 is stripped.This is a nominal two-seater although the passengers in thedickey seat, reached quite easily by a nimble leap over thebody, are inclined to be troubled by hot sheets of flame fromthe open exhaust pipe which ends underneath them.MAHER, Frank.This lad is the sitting image of his father. Don 't betaken in by that cherubic smile. Frank's trying to look likeStirling Moss. He apparently operates a fleet of cars includingan Arrol-Johnson, Jaguar and Plymouth. We'd fall forArrol every t ime . She's most useful for making tea as sheboils regularly every two or three miles. She steers beautifully.Frank and his passenger pullan the wheel wh ichrequires only five turns from lock to lock . The controls havebeen designed for the sporting driver. The brakes and acceleratorpedals are set very close together for quick heel andtoe changes.5

GREEN, John.Look at that sm ile. It flickers like a loose electric lightbulb. John is a serious soul who tr ies to sm ile bravely even inthe examination room. He con be disarming even if his co un ­t ry isn't. Actually he 's all kindness and underst anding. H isoutstanding work won h im an S.E.C. scholarship and we lookforward to the t ime when he 's wrapping up the kilowatts atYallourn for we poor consumers. Oh well, they sa y that whatyou don't know won 't hurt you. Some of us ho veri't felt atwinge of pain in years. Keep smiling John, It makes everyonewonde r what you've been up to .DISNEY, Graeme.Graeme came in under full soil from Sandringham Tech.and berthed at Coutee pier. His yacht ha s been in dock eversince a nd is being rapidly covered with barnacles. Graemeha s fallen bock on his old " bomb" an Au st in seven. This carcan outrun barnacles. Its bra kes are quite efficient at lowspeeds. In second gear travel Iing at 7 or 8 m .p.h. a suddenapplication of the foot brake br ing s the co r to a dead stop in360 yards. Oh well , there were just as many reckless drivers50 years ago--but in those days they drove something thathad more sense than they did.TURTON, Geoffrey.Wh ile at Sandringham Tech. Geoff's teachers decidedto make him a civil engineer-with the accent on c ivil. Henow relaxes in our c loiste red edifice dreaming of dams andbridges and th ings. He can design anything from a toostingfo rk to a cask of beer. He 's one of those lads who's determinedto harness the forces of Nature for the se rvice of man.Don 't try that t heory on women, Geoff. All these complexdesigns lea ve them cold. They love the s impler things inlife - men. Geoff's marriage will be the kind that needs anelectric blanket.ROBISON, Alan.Alan Archibald discovered our benevolent inst itut ionwhen on a paper chase from Scotch Coll ege. One glance atthe windows of the Art flo or and he realized he was at thewrong school. In fact he 's afraid he 's doing th e wrong course.Art is much more creative ond decorative than engineering.However he seems to be giving the dipl omo the works. He 'son e of th ose precis ion engineers. If you give him a n inchhe 'll mea su re it . H is la bora tory record is the so rt of bookthat on ce you put it down you can't pick it up again.6

" On, ho, indeedCl eaner tongues is wot they need."-CO J. DENNIS.President John Farnan is the grandold man of the team. That's him fair inthe middle of the group looking like abenevolent pedagogue. He's the only livingmotor-cyclist with a spore cor. Whenyou see the cor you know why he ridesthe motor bike . He 's off to England nextyeor for post graduate experience. Takinga brand new wife with him. He'scertainly learned how to win friends andinfluence people.Port of John is Treasurer Don . Thisbright lad can even understand a balancesheet. Like all accountants he isthe suspicious type. Has the temerity tobelieve in nothing. His accounts may bechecked and double checked, crossedand double crossed, but they st ill standthe audit. Don needs Ion to a ssist himspending the funds. Ion's the Secretoryand writes minutes for hours. No oneever reads them. After all the busiestperson can always find time for an extrajob of work. His inquiring mind occasionallystumbles on the truth but healways picks himself up as if nothinghappened.On Ion's starboard is his assistant secretory(he says). Name of Bobby . Shewonts to go as far as her education andsex will allow. Ian will give her a reference.However Bobby knows her ownmind. Arguing with her is like trying toblowout on electric light bulb. In ouropin ion Assistant Secretory is the modernversion of Platonic Friend. Bobby'sadept at the art of flattery. She tells Ionexactly what he thinks of himself.The other ornamental member elf theCouncil is Stephanie. She divides hertime between art and engineering. Cautechas certainly proved that ort studentsmake excellent wives for engineers.Oh well , a girl who uses her head usuallyhas a shoulder to put it on . You shouldsee the boys hanging on to her word s atS.R.C. meetings. She 's got them allguessing. So far science has not figuredout how a man ca n tell what a woman isthinking by listening to what she's saying.John Doherty's a Vice-President. Whyshouldn't a President have a vice. Shouldbe more of them. John's the assertivetype. Give him an inch and he thinks9he 's a ruler. He 's one of those blokeswho calls a spade two spades. His fa v­ourite subject is chemistry where he instillsan articulate nervousness in histeacher by his core-free handlinq of explosivesalts. If he drops them he'llreach the moon quicker than Sputnik.

Ron Cereni is also having a second yearwith the S.R.C. There's nothing like experience.It's the excuse we have formaking the some mistakes twice. Ron 'sa real copyist. He wears his hair likeElvis Presley. So is Mr. F. He wears hislike Yul Brynner. Ron has a lot of realability and should make the grade.Ted McCoy is our Don Brodman.Equally find of cricket and baseball hecan whack a mighty ball with any typeof bat. He bowls or pitches with abandonand has been known to hit wicketswhen the batsman isn't looking. Ted'snot a bad student either. In Englishclasses students are allowed to say exactlywhat they think. Ted keeps silent.We've seen Lin Graham before. Heappears to bob up anywhere there's ajob to be done. He's growing up fast.You know a boy's growing up when hestops going out with girls and wonts tostay home with them. Lin has a hydrornoric handshake, no clutch. Still heputs it over well. Tells stories that neverget post the censor. He's the type thatwouldn't listen to you talk if he didn'tknow that it was his turn next. Lin's abig chap who manages to produce theeffort of a majority on the committee.Reg Webb is the Austin 7 addict. Justas well he 's got a sense of humour. Itdoes four gallons to the mile with nofuel pump, oil pump, water pump ortyre pump. Gets a longer spark by .:Jloose battery wire. We're not sure ofReg's matrimonial ambitions. His girlfriends are all different because no onelikes to make the some mistake.Alan Robison seems to pop up oncommittees just when he's most wanted.Despite that beautiful coiffure he's realtough. He learns from others' mistakeshasn't time to make them all himself.Alan's a well dressed bloke. His suit ismade of that magic non-polythene 100per cent ever-duroble miracle fibrecalled wool. No polymerized plastics forhim.An important member of the S.R.C.is the staff representative. That's thetoll dark and handsome bloke--well tolland dark anyway--aft of the President.He teaches science without tears. Holdsthe boys enthralled with stories such as10Chester Plumb inventing the plumb line;Mr . Leyden pinching his wife's jamjars; Galvani weather-proofing rubbishbuckets; Faraday passing out when hediscovered ether. Lager's experimentswith hops that were to save so manylives ; and Raleigh who gave up smokingdozens of times. He poses some realproblems to the boys. When a teachertel Is you , ''1'1I think it over and let youknow"-you know. He is equally athome when enthusiastically expoundingnuclear physics or Miss Monroe's vitalstatistics. Since we last went to pressMr. Schonfelder has become a proudfather and now often rises in the weeweehours of the morning. He'll findthat what he doesn't know will take alot of explaining to his children.There are a few other S.R.C. membersbut space ha s run out. Stewart Nicholls,Peter Oyston, Craig Forster, Alan Duncanand David Hughes will catch uplater. Some of them couldn't even catchthe photographer. We're grateful tothem for doing a good job . We're reallyvery proud of them and if we 've saidanything we're sorry for, we're glad ofit. .BLACI< AND WH ITE -Linocut

They'll find that lifeis one long battle of wits. Many of themwill fight it unarmed. They will shortlybe taxpayers, i.e. people who don't haveto pass a public service examination 'cowork for the Government. During theirsta y he re these boys have hod no specialprivileges. The staff were ins t ructed totreat them just as they wo uld anyonewho wa s likely to become Prime Ministerin a few years. Some of them will gothundering in history like an e xtra q ua rtof water over Niagara Fall s. Don't getme wrong-most of these potential en-gineers have brains.

Oh well, wecan sa y what we think, and even if wecan't think we can soy it anyway.The next step in their education isthe provision of experience. They aregoing into industry with on open mind,a complete lock of prejudice and a cool,rational approach to what they are alreadyconv inced is a fa scinating odventure.There is an en ormous and growingdemand for professiana I eng ine e rs, Engineeringa s a profession is of comparatively recent status so that its place inthe community is not well under stood by11

the public. There is much confusion inthe public mind between the professionof engineering and the engineeringtrades. We have a purely arbitrary clossificationof skilled personnel in engineering;Technologists, Technicians andTradesmen. These groups could havearisen from the fact that we train engineersin Universities, Technical Collegsand by apprenticeship. It would bewrong to contend that the professionalengineer or technologist must have aUniversity training, that a technicianmust have attended a technical schoolor that a tradesman is one who hasserved an apprenticeship. The duties ofall three overlap and many professionalengineers gained valuable experience byan early training as tradesmen or technicians.The free movement from one toanother of these groups is one of thegreatest incentives to training.How do our Graduates obtain professionalstatus? A profession is recognizedby its association with a professional Institutionwhose function is to supervisethe standards of individual professionalcompetence and professional practice.To become a Chartered Engineer youmust gain at least five years of approvedengineering experience. Your diplomais awarded after one year of approvedengineering experience . Following theaward of the diploma you should makeapplication for transfer from the gradeof Student in the Institution of Engineersto the grade of Graduate. You shouldthen seek the advice of CorporateMembers regarding the professional experiencerequirements. The Institutionwill assist you by enlisting the supportof your employer in the matter of satisfactoryexperience. It is asumed thatyou are already Student members.A scheme of "professional interviews"is being adopted by the Institution toassist Graduates to qualify for AssociateMembership. Remember you cannot becomea Chartered Engineer merely byobtaining a Diploma.However, I've harped enough on experience.Often it's just a name we giveto our mistakes. Experience is somethingI always think I've had until I get moreof it.Don't wait for things to happen.Hurry them along by solid hard work.The only thing that comes to him whowaits is whiskers.8B (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS)Back : G.

Students' Representative Council• PRESIDENT'S REPORTProbably the factor which had themost effect on S.R.C. activities in 1957was the huge influx of new students.The Fifth Form made up more than 40per cent of the Engineering School andthe proportion of newcomers in the ArtsSchool was cons ide ra b ly greater.It would be expected that these factswould have some effect on the co-operativestudent activities of the year, andthis was in fact the case, as will beshown by the report of the Social Committee,which was formed early in thefirst term on the recommendation ofthe S.R.C. Due to the very representativenature of the Social Committee itwas possible to get a wide selection ofideas as to what the students wonted inthe social sphere, and the necessary organisationalwork was able to be distributedin some degree. (Although aconsiderable amount of labour still fellon the shoulders of the few.)The lack of a common recess timeand of on assembly hall contributed toa very large extent to a lack of contactbetween S.R.C. members and the generalstudent body. An attempt was madeto overcome this by advertising allsocial events as Widely as possible.An opti mistic trend not iced at S.R.C.meetings was the regular attendance ofthe younger members, and their readinessto express their views, and to bringto the notice of the S.R.C. any suggestionsof the students whom they represented.In conclusion, my thanks are due tothe Executive for their assistance andco-operation, and to the many membersof staff, in particular Mr. Kepert,with whom I had contact.• SECRETARY'S REPORTIn a growing school such as CaulfieldTech. the functions of the Students' RepresentativeCouncil is most important.The S.R.C. is a means of contact betweenthe students of the school and theadministrators of the school.The students of Caulfield Tech. arevery fortunate in having a staff which isvery interested in the students and theiractivities.Early in the year the Social Committeewas formed through the S.R.C. andI suggest that you read the Social Committeereport to see how this year wasa social success.Lunch hour films were shown duringsecond term but because of the lack ofa common lunch hour for all students,the organization of these film showswas made very difficult.A Music Club was formed but it waspoorly advertised and the membershipseemed rather restricted. This club rana ve ry successful car trial and are to becongratulated for their efforts in thisfield .A Sports Committee was formed toa ssist the sportsmaster in the organizationof various sports functions throughoutthe year.I would like to thank all the membersof the S.R.C., especially Bobby Inglis,my Assistant Secretory, Don Begbie theTreasurer, John Farnan our very ablePresident and Mr. Kepert, for their helpto me throughout the year.A final word to the students for nextvear: If there is someth ing going on atschool, get with it. It's your school.John W. Farnan, President.14- Ia n M. Chesterfield, Hon . Sec .

• Past Students' AssociationThe Past Students' Association Committee for 1957 consisted of IanSearle (President), Graham Rooke and Arvo Elias (Vice-Presidents), CharlieBrownlow (Treasurer), Alan Wilson (Secretary), and Jim Vizard, RowanWeatherhead, Joe O'Toole, Fred Tucker, Felicity Nutting, Wendy Gibbsand Norma Grummett.This year approved membership increased22 to 169. The P.S.A. now hasa very attractive coloured enamel lapelbadge in answer to a long-felt wantonly5/6 each.A silent film item was presented byPost Students at the school concert. TheAnnual Past Student award for extracurricular activities was gained by JohnFarnan.The Annual Dinner was held at Carlyon'sHotel - some 30 members attended.Mr. Ward was guest speakerand gave an entertaining account of hispart in a recent Antarctic expedition,supported by coloured sl ides.Once agoin the P.S.A. Annual Bollwas held at Tudor Court. The Mayorand Mayoress of Caulfield and Presidentand Mrs. Blackshaw of the School Council'a ttended the Ball. Once again a verysuccessful time was had by all. Rememberthe Ball will be on again at TudorCourt on July 4th, 1958 (please checkwith Mr. Tucker). Other social events includedtheatre nights and a snow trip inconjunction with the present day students.Two very successful and interestingnights were provided by Mr. Keller andKen SambeJI who described their overseastri ps with the a id of coloured s lides.A number of post students have returnedfrom overseas, therefore make it a pointto attend when the next review of experiencesis announced.We would appreciate the views ofmembers upon the types of out-doorfunctions that would interest them ­possibilities include hikes, barbecues,car trio I and treasure hunt, or evencombinations of these. These functionswould be organized with social gettogetherand good fun predominating,in order that members may get to knowone another. New and old past students,please never feel that you cannot cometo our functions because you do not15know the others - we will soon makeyou welcome. With this thought in mind,we ask all present-day graduates tojoin the Past Students' Association, sothat they may hope to retain and enlargeupon the friendships and interestsmade at school.We hope to see a very representativegathering of graduates at the Post Students'Annual General Meeting on FridayFebruory 28th, 1958.Come along with the object of securinga good representation upon the ExecutiveCommittee.For further information contact theSecretary, Alan Wi lson, 10 Wi lmothAvenue, Murrumbeena, S.E.9.

• HEADMASTER'S REPORTIt is fitt ing, perhaps, that after a briefstay of one year at Caulfield, I shouldrecord a few impressions of a year thathas been a strange m ixture of joys andsorrows, of high hopes and almost deepdespair.My joys and my hopes have beenraised by the outstanding successes ofthe boys of the school - their triumphsat football and athletics, their wonderfulresponse to charitable appeals, theexcellent performances of the choir onpublic occasions, and by the spirit ofwholehearted co-operation shown by thegreat majority of the students. Sorrowand despair have been caused by thosefew boys who have proved dishonest, untruthfulor delinquent. Among the boys,I hope, I have mode many friends. Thereare many boys whose futures I wiII followwith the greatest of interest whetherin their further education, in their chosencareers or in the field of sport.It has been a privilege and a pleasureto work with my colleagues on the staff;their readiness to help, their willing cooperationand their cheerful acceptanceof many extra burdens have been, to me,a source of encouragement and inspira ­t ion.In conclusion, may I soy that everystudent has a grave responsibility to theCaulfield Technical School, a responsibilityto be regular and punctual in attendance,to be attentive to his lessons,to be properly clod, and to behove at alltimes in a manner that will bring creditto himself, to his family and to hisschool. On the other hand, the schoolhas an equal responsibility to the boys,to see that every boy receives the understanding,the sympathy, the toleranceand the justice he merits, and that he isfully prepared to face adult life in acommunity bristling with problems.My best wishes to all at Caulfield fora happy and successful future.• OBITUARYIt is with deep regret that we recordthe death of one of our teachers andtwo of our students during the year.Mr. Stan Brown collapsed and diedsuddenly while on duty on 9th July. Hisloss was a great blow to us all as he wasnot on ly an efficient teacher, he wasloved by a II his colleagues and students.His passing leaves a gop we cannotfill.Edward Mills was caught in a blizzardat Mt. Bow Bow while on a weekendhike with his scout troop. His party waslost and spent the night in the open. Tedcollapsed and died before being foundby rescue parties. He was a most popularlad and one of our former junior students.Our sympathy goes out to his parents.Peter Capon was killed on the Grampionsroad near Stowell early in the firstterm. He was examining his car engineon the side of the road when a truckout of control struck him.

However, for the majority ofthe people concerned with its productionthe heat was not on until about mid­Apri I. By "the heat", I mean the constantpressure of rehearsals and thepreparation for wardrobe, decor, soundand lighting. Rehearsals were well attended(sometimes I even caughtglimpses of actors), but if any were absentReg. Webb would help out by disguisinghimself as a bar-room full ofloungers, or Prospector Peter and theundertaker. With the aid of Anzac Dayand weekend rehearsals, conditions assumeda rough semblance of order. Uponarrival at the hall on Tuesday, we foundthat final rehearsal was made impossibleby the insistent racket of a pneumaticdrill being used by workmen makingalterations to the building. About7.45 that night I was convinced that wewould not be able to raise the curtainby 8 o'clock as scheduled. Backstage,however, Tony Warmington and hiscapable assistants proved othe rwise. Onthe second night, the sh ow ron evenmore smoothly and a programme packedwith stumbling monsters, butterflies,goons and keystone cops were woppedoff with an extremely realistic scene ofa bar-room full of drunken cowboys.My sincere thanks go to all those whotook port in the concert and it is withregret that I realize we are losing JohnFarnan, Jon Sharples, John Adamson,Lloyd Peake, John Rooke, Bob Smithand many others.Lindsay Graham.22

• WHY ENGLISH?(This year the English Departmenthas been asked to make itself responsiblefor the staff contribution to the" Gryphon" . This has made availablethe opportunity to explain why English,once almost regarded a s a foreign languagein technical schools, is now acompulsory port of every technicalcourse. )First reason for the inclusion of Englishin the curriculum is the communitywill-to-live, expressing itself in educetionthrough the desire to establish andmaintain a national tradition and culture,of which the national language isan indispensable part. Consequentlyevery modern community insists that thestudy of its own language shall be thefirst compulsory section of its curriculumat all levels. And rightly so , for the communitythat loses its determination topreserve its culture is already moribund,and can have little future in the 20thcentury struggle for survival.SecondIy is the be Iief that the studyof one's national language is importantfrom the viewpoint of having to liveamong people who speak, write and readit. Perhaps only the most recent arrivalsto our shores can appreciate how difficultcommunity living can be if one cannotrelate one's speech and thought toone's surroundings. Associated with thisaspect is the social and vocational advantagesthat accompany a reasonab Iecommand of the language.Sufficient has 01 ready been said tojustify the inclusion of English in thejunior school course but it may bethaught that the senior school studentscould better devote all the limited timeto more practical studies. However, thestudy of English has its practical sideand also the diplomate engineer now occupiesan increasingly important positionin private and governmental undertakings,and his semi-executive statuswill frequently demand long explonor­..cry addresses and reports. It also willinvolve upholding a position of authornotspeak the language as well as they.ity and subordinates can feel but littlerespect for the man in charge who can-In addition is the need for an advancedstudy of English by those diploma-holderswho wish to continue studyand research at university level. Of lateyears their number has shown a spectaculargrawth, as both opportunitiesand rewards for such extra study haveincreased. The University is jealous ofits reputation and so demands a guaranteeof pre-education from those privilegedto be its students, on the assumptionthat he who cannot understandwritten English, nor express himselfclearly in the language, is not suitableto proceed to higher studies.Lastly is the question of communitystatus. In the past the diplomate engineerhas not enjoyed the status that ismerited by his qualifications and theimportance of his work. For those downto-earthpeople who feel that statusdoes not provide deposits on late-modelcars, it can be pointed out that status ismoney, for in the final analysis any jobwill pay only so much as the communitythinks it worth. One of the most importantfactors behind the community acceptanceof the high status of certain23professions is the recognition of thewide background of study required.Hence the public regard for the professionsof medicine and dentistry, thoughboth require the absorption of muchlearning that may never be utilized inpost-graduate life. So with the engineer.The status of his profession, if it is to beregarded as a profession with its accompanyingfinancial and social privileges,demands that his language backgroundshould be equal to that of the doctor andthe dentist.More could be added, much more, butenough has been written, it is hoped, toanswer our opening question, "WhyEnglish;)"J.

Irvin e .• SOCIAL COMMITTEEDu ring the year, the Soc ial Com m itteehas been integrated wit h the S.R.C.to develop student activiti es and to p romotesoc ia l functions for the int e restand welfare of c.T.S. student's.It is ve ry important that stude nts ha veboth o n a cade m ic and a social out lookand to participate in the administrationand orga n iza t ion of schoo l affairs. However,st ude nt activity is generally ot alow ebb, mainly because of the lack ofinterest and lack of enthusiasm shownby the students themselves. Ne vertheless,the va rious activities and soc ia levents organized by the Social Committeeand the S.R.C. have been ve ry successful.The Social Committee wa s formed atthe beginning of the year and its membersinc lude representatives from boththe Engineering and Art Schools. Thesemembers are:­President: Lloyd PeakeSecretary: Glenn FerrisTreasurer: Judy Butterworth26Glenys Sm ith, Judy Beck , MarionCharlton, Stephanie Ritchi e, HelenWebley, Max Thompson , Roy Irvine,Bill Swinson, Geoff Turton, Ian Chesterfield, Reg. Webb, David Taylor (advertising).The Soc ia l Committee ha s endeavouredto meet the social requirements ofthe school and ha s reasonably accompiished this. Meetings were held regularly and were generally well attended,although onl y a few representatives contributed an y origi nal ideas .The activities for the yea r have beenthree donees, a Snow Trip, Cor Triol,the P.S.A Ball and Theatre Night. Anyfurther a tte mpt to a rga n ize somethingdifferent, for example, a River Trip, orto organize clubs of general int erest didnot receive much response (and did notwarrant the effort involved in o rga n izingtheir fulfilment. It is ~ pity recllv.).Also the Social Committee foundstudents who ope n ly expressed their dissatisfactionand caustically condemnedall school functions without actually providing ony thought or interest in thefunction itself, and without sh owing the

courtesy to, or consideration for thepeople organizing the function. Oncethese criticisms and rumours werestarted, it was hard to dispense themand very frustrating and annoying totrace their couse and starting point.The Social Committee was howe verpleased to see "Fred 24" started; thisclub did, in its own way, increase thefriendship and feeling between students,and was responsible for the organisationof lunch hour music and a very successfulCor Trial.*• THE DANCESThe first dance was held on March15th and was one of the most successfulever held at the school. The dancerealised an astronomical profit of over£ II, although admittance was increasedto 4/- to cover higher expenses. Thegood attendance, excellent supper, decorationsand lively music made theevening very enjoyable for all present.As a result of the excellent shewing atthe first donee, the Social Committeedecided to hold another donee soonafter the beg inning of second term.This donee was as good a social successas the fi rst even though a larqe numberwere not present due to the holding ofa Teacher's College function on thesame night. For all dances the SocialCommittee conducted an extensive advertisingcampaign. Invitations wereforwa rded to most of the Teochers' Collegesand a number of Senior TechnicalSchools. In addition, the girls fromEmily MacPherson College and ConobeeHostel were invited. It is interesting tonote at th is point that Cautec studentswere generally in the minority as far asnumbers went, there being more "outsiders"than there were "insiders" ot thedances.For the th ird dance at the end of secondterm, there was, unusually, moregirls than boys present. ConsiderinqCoutee is reputedly a "boys" school,this was embarrassing for us , but perhapsamusing to the Emily McJC. girls.This dance was unfortunately a financialloss attributed to the Asian fluwhich was at its peak at this time. Manypeople compliments the Social Committeeon the socio I success of the dance,and also favourably comme nted on thefriendly and informal atmosphere.At the time of writing these notes,the S.R.C. and the Social Committeehave organised a fourth dance to be heldon 18th October. Instead of being heldin Room 32-33, the dance is being heldin St. John's Hall , Caulfield. The hallwas recommended for a dance after theConcert Party was held there and ofcourse saves cleaning out and preparingRooms 32 -33, which few people seemwilling to do. The preparation, and inparticular the clean-up on Saturdaymorning, was always left to the samefew each time. This donee is to be thefinal "wind up" for the year, and shou ldbe a fitting close to a successful year'sentertainment.• STOP PRESS*The fourth donee held on Friday, 18thOctober, was bigger and better than anyof the previous three dances held earlierin the year. The dance was held in St.John's Ambulance Hall, Birch Road,Caulfield. The hall was excellently decoratedwith festoon lights, ba lloons,streame rs and mobiles; the atmospherewas very worm and gay due to these decorations.The dance was surprisinglywell attended (over 160 people) therebeing practically equal numbers due tothe attendance of many girls invitedfrom other schools.The Social Committee provided manynovelties throughout the evening. MissMarion Charlton was aptly chosen asBelle of the Donee, Messrs. Allen andGauer held lucky tickets, and RobertClinch, the lucky spot. Although the expenseswere very high, the dance real­27

ised a profit of over £3. The S.R.C. expressesits thanks to the girls who preparedthe supper and to all engineerswho willingly prepared th e hall . Thesuccess of the evening was contributedto by this preparation of the hall and• SNOW TRIP*the supper , and also the ad vertising, thelively band, and the use of an " outside"hall. This dance will se rve as a pointerand as a "standard" for future dancesin future years.The Snow Trip t o Donna Buang on Sunday, 18th August, was a verysuccessful event enjoyed by all . Approximately 110 people attended, 90of whom were present students.The buses left sch ool about 9 a.m.,and were able to reach the upper turntable.The snow was go od, having survivedthe previous week of hot weather,and the day was graced with good conditions. Many people took toboggans,but the ski -run was not suited for skiing. This didn't matter anywa y con sideringthe fun hod with the toboggans. TheSnow Trip was excellently ad vertisedaround the sch ool with posters, etc., andwas perhaps one of the best advertisingcampoigns for a single event yet. Thi sdefinitely helped contribute to the largeattendance and to the support sh ownfor the trip. Also , another reason forth e large crowd was the subsidies providedby the S.R.C. and the Social Committeeto bring the price of the ticketsdown to ] 0/- per head, a price wh ichcould be a ff o rded by many people.Both Art and Engineering students,in particular 5th formers, wer e well represented.The attendance of the 7thform could have been greater con sideringth is g roup wi II be the "Passing Parade"next year, and therefore expectedto carryon the school activities. Itwould see m that the present 7th formhave Iittle or no interest whatsoe ve r inthe participation or organising of schoolfunctions.L.P.The behaviour in all bu ses was goodand received the compliments of thebus drivers. All in all, the Snow Tripwas well warranted, it was a success, itwas well supported, and e veryone enjoyedthemselves. The Social Committeewas satisfied that their efforts resultedin thi s Snow Trip being one of thebest yet .*• ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSIt is usually an unwise polic y to mentionnames, but I would like to expressmy sincere thanks to the many peoplewho ha ve co nt ributed in any wa y to thesuccess of the year. I would pa rt icularlylike to thank the followi ng people.-Mrs. Mathew and Mr s. Bindt fromth e tuck shop, for their catering for t hedances, and for the interest they showedthroughout the year. Also the Art girl swho effectively arranged and preparedthe supper.Specia l mention to Marion for herval uable support in this respect. For theadvertising, printing of dance ticketsand painting of posters for any of theschool functions, special tribute mu st bepaid to David Taylor and Lindsay Grahamfrom the Art Department.Con cerning the dances, I would liketo e xpress my appreciation to Ivan An ­derson and his " Rhyrnettes" for theirsplendid ploying a nd co-operation at thedances.Finally I would like to pay tribute toJohn Farnan for his th oughtful advice,Glenn Fer ris for his ready assistance andto all members of the Social Committeefor their excellent backing throughoutthe year.Lloyd Peake.28

..• CADET UNITCadet activities started off rathe rpoorly this year because a la rge numberof cadets eithe r entered into employment,took up apprenticeships or movedaway from the a rea. Although the cadetun it was small in numbers, enthusias mwa s h igh and the cadets were spur redon by the support and inte res t of Mr . C.Jordon, t he inco ming headmaster.T he Christmas vocation C.U .O. andN.C.O . training courses produced a goodteam of specialist N.C.O.'s a nd twoC. U.O.'s in the persons of S. A. Nichollsand K. C. Ferguson , who were duly appointedCompany Under-officers.I n J u Iy momentou s th ings began tohappen. First wa s a visit by the BrigadeCommander, Lieut.-Col. J . S. Hutchison,accompanied by Colonel Forrest, Directorof Cadet Services, Australion Command.The outcome wa s that pe rmissionwas granted to increase the unit to 101bodi es, all ronks. T his caused quite 0hiatus in the normal life of the un it,necessitating the appointment of anumber of Junior N.C.O.'s .With the increase in numbers, a numberof problems (growing pains) becameapparent, but these were ironed out at ave ry successful annual ca mp at SeymourSite 17 which was attended by 76cadets.The final highlight to the date of thisreport wa s the un it' s taking part in theCaulfield centenary celebrations in anevening march along Hawthorn Rood.The un it wa s complimented by outsideobservers, which wa s very g ra tifying.• CAR TRIALThe first, and probably the la st schoolcar tr ia l, for this year anywa y, wa s he ldthrough the Dandenongs on the 25thAugust.The route wa s through Scoresby, Upwey,Kall ista, The Patch , Olinda andThe Basin, with the finish at Diny'sPicnic Ground. One of the h ighl igh tswas the na vigation by Graeme Witty, inRoyce Fullard's Lancia, who found thesta rt with effortless ease, but from thenon was not seen. Mi ck Allen also becomedis couraged, retiring early with abroken car. Patterson and Waterstoured the countryside completely ignoringthe trial route, and managed toseize their motor. Roger Westwooddeemed it unnecessary to call at controls,and thus set a record for pointslost . Ken Ford, in his tw in carbu retto rHolden, drove the ma jority of the distancewith on empty petrol tank and hi sefforts we re th us hampered so mewhat.The most magni ficent sight of all wa sthat of the dropping ja ms of a ll navigatorswhe n they came across the overagespeed control, wh ich was definitelynot where they thought it: was.Geoff Taylor and Neil Johanneson, inan Austin Seven, battled against adversitiessuch as a blowout and a brokenkingpin, and won with a loss of 100 pts.Truly a m ighty effort! Second wa s KenFord (Holden) and th ird was Pete Gill itzer(Holden),The whole day we nt off very sm oothlyth officials were magnificent and thecarnival barbecue fin ished a really enjoyableday.Finally, to those who leave the un it atthe end of th is year, we wish them a ll thebest , and to those who remain: " Goodcamping a nd good shooting for yea r1958."J .

School Excursions• 6th Annual N.S.W. TourEarly on the morning of September 3rd this year, thirty-six youth fu lfigures and two not -sa-youthful ones waited excitedly at Melbourne airportfor their departure on a tour of the iron and steel industry at Newcastleand Wollongong, and the lighter tourist industries of Sydney.Mr. Keller, dressed in a tie which hehas never been game to wear to school,was in charge of this industrious groupof students, and Mr . McKinnon wassecond in charge. Two hours later weemerged from our aircraft, sweltering inovercoats in the Sydney sunsh ine . Aftera tour to the Harbour bridge, we hadlunch at Central Station before boardingthe " Newca st le Flyer." At Central Station,Mr. Keller found what looked tobe a souvenir of his recent world tour,but he assured us as he hasti Iy confiscatedthe fi lrn in our cameras that heon ly knew her casually.The journey to Newcastle was verypleasant in the bright sunshine and . oswe passed ove r the Hawkesbury Riverbridge many camera enthusiasts tooksome good shots af bridge pylons andthe tunnel wall . The city which we hadcome to see was barely visible under athick pall of smoke. At "The Beaches"that night, we sow Mr. Keller wrappedin another souvenir of his world tour.This one was a very colourful Chinesedressing gown, even more brilliant thanhis tie.On Wednesday morning, a few hardysouls went swimming before breakfast,but most were content to sleep late.Breakfast was served by a waitress whocalled us all "darling." This includedMr. Keller, but this was not su rpris ingas he had stayed there before.The entire day was spent in touringS.H .P. in the capable hands of Mr.Coverdale. We saw every stage of steelmakingfrom the unloading of the areto the rolling of steel, which was beingsent, still hot, by rail to Rylands andStewart's and L1oyds. Lunch, and thewaitresses who served it, were providedby B.H.P. That night, Mr. McKinnonled a small party to a nearby lighthouseand were amazed at the number of carsthat appeared to have broken down enroute.The next day was a tiring one for usbudding metallurgists, and most of usby the end of the day wore the expressionsof stunned mullet. After touringCommonwealth Steel and taking a keeninterest in the railway tyre manufacture,we were again provided with lunch byB.H.P.The afternoon was spent at Au stralianWire Rope Works and Stewart's andL1oyds. A keen interest wa s taken in thespool winders at the former (spool windersare machines, not women, ed.). Mr.Keller took 0 party to the pictures thatnight, but those who could not stayawake didn't attend.Friday was our last day in Newcastle,and started with a visit to Burwood Colliery.At the six hundred foot level , wewere able to see blasting being done.The first time, coal wa s being blastedto make a new cut through; the secondtime was when John Burt hit his headon a low beam. Of interest to the geo10­gists of the pa rty was the large numberof excellent fossils in the mine. Whenour guide said to sh ine our torches onthe fossil, Mr. Keller stood in a blazeof light, but we eventually realised ourmistake and turned our lamps to themine roof .After lunch at the colliery, we sawthe manufacture of wire netting, barbedwire and nails at Rylands, and then wereshown around the fabulous NewcastleTech. by Mr. Basden, the principal. Theamount of new equipment at thi s schoolwas staggering - they even have theirown brewery. That night we had theonly rain of the whole tour, and several30

students were to be seen taking refugein a nearby bandstand.Next morning as we mode a sad farewellto The Beaches, one could see bylooking at our faces that we greatlyenjoyed our stay in Newcastle. We travelledto Sydney in a luxury reserved carriage,and reached the Canberra, ourSydney hotel, at about mid-day. Theweekend, until Sunday night, was free,and our sma ll bond (not to mention thechoir) was see n at most of the popularspots in Sydney. On Sunday morning,Mr. Keller accompanied 16 of the groupto church, and in the afternoon most ofus were to be seen studying animals atthe zoo, or listening to various crackpotsex pound ing in the Domain, which isprobably the best free entertainment tobe had in Sydney.Six p.m. found o ur very tired, rathersile nt group travelling by train to Wollongong.At the sta t ion, a bu s took usto the No rmandie. After a mo ss migrationto the local snack bar, we totteredback for a much ne eded early night.In the morning we were awakened bya maid with a cup of tea, much to theembarrassment of our " na t ure boys,"john and Ian. The morning wa s spentinspecting the copper works of Electrolytic Refining and Smelting. Lun ch wa sprovided by Karingal Hostel. Here, thedessert was excellent, a s Arnold remarkedove r his fourth helping. Castingand working of copper was seen in theafternoon vis it to Metal Manufactures.Tuesday saw us at Australian Ironand Steel led by the tireless Mr. Keller,who fanned our wavering interest bymaking a swoop inspection on our notes,and by threats of on early night for all.After lunch at KaringaJ, we visitedLysaght's, where the use of electroniccontrol was much in evidence. Here,they even have a closed circuit TV linkso that the operator can watch ope ra ­tions inside the rolling mill.At dinner that night, Mr. Keller confidedthat teenage girls were th e worryof his life, but hastily added that hemeant the handl ing of teenage girls.Severol knowing looks we re exchangedacross the table before we real ised that3lhe wa s referring to h is yo ut h c lub. Ablushing Uncle R. remained strangelysi le nt about his youth c lub work fr omthen on .Part of Wednesday was spent in inspectingthe Commonwealth Rolling M illand the new developments at A.I .S., bothf ine examples of modern technique andlayout. After lunch at Karingal, a bustook us on a scenic tour to Mt. Keiraand Sub lime Point. The weather was perfect,and the view extended for 110miles from north to south. We couldsc a rce ly hear John Burt say " god" abovethe clicking of cameras and Fronk'srunning commentary of a beach scenev iewed through a telescope. On the wa yhome we sang all of the topical songscomposed by Ian and others, but owingto space a nd other limitations they cannotbe printed here. These songs aboutCoutee doings are fa st be coming a populartradition at the school. Thanks Ian.By this time Uncle R. was becomingco re less and was seen late at night onthe stairs struggl ing with a zip on thedress of a certain lady guest at the Normandie.To make matters worse, thelad y concerned wa s in the dress. Heinsisted that he was doing it up , butwith his sma ll knowledge of vector diagrams,and our large knowledge of him,we feel that his story sa d ly loc ked conviction. The zipper girl herself wasgreeted at breakfast ne xt morning byour student ch orus singing " Z ipp idyDoo Doh ." Mr . Keller al so had a mostattractive offer from the managementthat night, but turned it down-at leastthat is what he told us.The morning of our last day wa s spentat the huge A.I .S. roll ing mill and tinplatingplant. At mid-day we left theNormandie after witnessing Mr. Keller'stouching farewell to the receptioni st. Itis rumored that he is returning at Christmasand that he will perhaps accept themanager's offer then.The tr ain journey f rom Wollongong toSyd ney, a distance of 50 miles, tookthree hours and three different trains.Mr. Keller, on expert on s uch matters,advised us to travel three stationsfurther than our tickets would allow, and

as a result hod a short verbal encounterwith a lady ticket collector. (From thethings she said, she was no lady.-Ed.)From Sydney, we shared a plane homewith a party from a Melbourne girl'sschool, who because of len's songs andour appearance, thought us " ve ry wildtypes." As the plane took off fromMascot, and irate fathers from Newcastleto Wollongong breathed again, weall felt extremely grateful to Mr. Kellerfor the time and energy that he putsinto these trips, and we hope for thesake of those following that we haven'tturned him off for life. Our thanks alsogo to Mr. McKinnon for his able supportof Mr. Keller throughout the trip.DICK GOWER.*• 7th Form Geelong ExcursionAt on ungodly hour on the morn ofWednesday, 18th September, manycors, overloaded with 7th formers,bravely faced the dull and overcast skyand set forth from Caulfield and s u r­rounds to meet in for distorit Geelong.Mr. Ford may have been displeasedat the high percentage of "Australia'sawn" which arrived outside his abodeand also the high velocities at whichthese missiles were projected, but hedid not show his displeasure for thegreeting we received befitted a King.While the said welcome was being enacted,in came the only late-comer (incidentally,don't be late, chops).On entering the factory proper, wewere shown the tool room where hugedies were being prepared for body pressings.It was interesting to note the increaseuse of plastics in the constructionof these dies.From here we progressed to watch thedies in action as they stomped out steelpanels for chassis and body construction.These panels were trimmed andset up in jigs; the welders come into thepicture, and so before long a body shellwas produced.Next we saw the motor components32being machined, assembled and the enginegiven its first test start and run.Bock again the body shell, where theengine was installed together withtransmission and suspension and finallytrimmings and upholstery and beholdanother Ford was ready to satisfy a customer.At this juncture we dispersed to partakenourishment. This proved most profitablefor several of Geelong's "milkbars". The botanical gardens werefound to include some delightfully dicyrods and the unusual thing, was that nostudent claimed any girls.International Harvester was the nextgeneral meeting place and here wewere supplied with glasses to protectour eyes from the dust and grit whichabounded in the atmosphere.Firstly we were shown the sand beingprepared for moulds for casting the engineblocks and other components.After watching the blocks beingmachined, we transferred our interestto the assembly line where were able tofollow the engine as it was built into aunit from myriads of small and largeparts.From here the assembly Iine continuedand the chassis of the tractor wasbuilt up to include transmission, axles,steering and finally wheels were applied,and the tractor wheeled off theline to await delivery.Both factories gave us on insight intomodern production methods and it wasinteresting to note the differing techniquesused by the two companies. Fordsmode use of an extensive press showwhile I.H. of necessity hod a largefoundry to produce the heavy duty cast­ings for their agricultural machinery.The result was ports such as cover platesand casings we re cast at I.H., whereasFord pol icy seemed to be to use press­ings for these parts wherever possible.To both Ford and International, sincerethanks are extended for the hospitalityand help they showed us, andand also we thank Mr. McKinnon forthe organization of the day's tours.M.A.

........• YALlOURN TRIPAs a final full scale attempt to conditionindustry for its new recruits, theYallourn Trip was undertaken by the8th Form on September 26th and 27th,and in some cases the 28th and 29th.The journey was to toke from two anda half to three hours; needless to soymost people considerably improved onth is time and even the on ly Austin 7 ,which had been hurriedly prepared thenight before, defied all laws of mechanicaland electrical engineering , makingthe trip in 2* hours - Without incident.However, the some cannot beso id for a certain ailing Pontiac, whichcontrived to have the bonnet fly off atspeed, which reshaped it somewhat. Itwas then tied down with a large pieceof rope, despite Mr. R's offer to removeo portion of V. R.'s fencing wire to do thejob.At 10 .30 the tour of the power housecommenced. The plant consumedaround 18,000 tons of coa l per da y,two-thirds of which is water, to produce275 Mega Watts. On the completion ofthe tour, most of the group convergedon the township's shopping centre toconsume lunch. It then became increasingly apparent that not on ly everythingaround the power station itself wa s coveredin coal dust, but also the whole ofYallourn, the air being positively loaded--- among others. Later we found outthat the S.E.C. is entitled to inundatethe countryside with foul and obnoxiousby-products caused by overloading theboilers, because Yallourn and surroundingsare S.E.C.-owned.After lunch we proceeded to the opencut. The Grande Epreuve du Cut wasdenied the students this year for theS.E.C. buses provided would have beenincapable of the lapping the open cut atthe qualifying speed. The afternoonwas very wet ond the ground exceedinglymuddy requiring 011 Mr. R's subtlepersuasion to extract seve ra l of the bockbenchers from the bus. However, on approachingthe bunkers, the pulsatingsensuous rhythm of a coal conveyorlured even the reluctant back benchersfrom th e bus. However we were able toinspect one of the large dredgres capableof running around 800 tons of coalper hour. We then toured the only productivemuseum in Victoria, ca lled theBriquette Works.A very tired, wet and bedraggledgroup of would-be engineers then convergedon the Yallourn Guest House andfiled into the lounge, dragging personalbelong ings and a large percentage ofmud from the cut. The S.E. c.'s hostelmanager implored us in cultured tonesto respect the building and its contents.The management was very accommodating.That evening the wise stayed athome; the hopeful went to the pictures;the desperote went to the dance andthe " dea d heads" went to the drive in.At 10 the wise were in bed, at 12 thehopeful were slumbering, at three thedesperate had returned. The return ofthe "dead heads" was hera Ided by achorus of irate waitresses, the latter notappreciating the football match beingplayed up and down the corridor and inand out of the rooms.Next morning, despite the efforts oftwo Morwell police to impede the progressof one of our motor cyclists, thegroup arrived at Australian Paper Mills.Over a cup of tea we were given a briefoutline of the functions of the plant andthen made a detailed inspection, andsmelt just how paper was mode.After an excellent lunch at a nominalfee, the cars proceeded to Traralgon. Afeature of this ride was the spirited duelbetween two Prefects, both of whichwere on both side~ of the road at oncein thei r frantic efforts to pass one another.From Traralgon the group proceededto the Traralgon Cement Works wherethey were experiencing a breakdownwith their vertical kiln-the onl y one inAustralia. In an effort to st ave offbankruptcy, Government interventionand Geelong competition, the firm employedtwo Scotsmen as plant engineers.This visit concluded the two doy tour,our thanks be ing offered to Mr. Ritchieand Mr. Mills and Doc. Gerstmann forthe time and effort they put into arrangingand cond uct ing the tour.33

iiiiIii• UPPER YARRA DAMOn Thursday, 30th May, the h igh lyexalted 8th Form travelled by bu s to theUpper Yarra Dam. The tr ip up to thedam was uneventful. Mr . Jack Grey, apost student of Cautec, was our guidefor port of the day. The Upper YarraProject actually commenced in 1929with the construction of the Upper YarraAqueduct and now, in 1957, when wesaw it, the project was nearly completed.The Upper Yarra Dam will doubleMelbourne's present water supply capacityfor it will hold bock 44 ,000,000,­000 gallons of water.Our tour commenced with a trip tothe visitor's look-out from where we hadon excellent view of the earth and rockdam. From there we went to the maintenanceworkshops and inspected someearth moving equipment. After lunchwe went around the bose of the dam tosee the outlet of the diversion tunnel.To get to the tunnel we had to trompthrough several hundred yards of thickmud and slush. On the return journeyone group of energetic gentlemen commenceda race up the dam, but had toabandon the race in order to catch thebus.The spillway was seen next. This incorporatesa ski jump to remove the energyof the water, so that it will notdamage the banks of the river. Afterlooking at the spillway, we boarded thebus and set off back to school. A stopwas made at Warburton for fish andchips and we arrived back at school intime to attend night classes.On behalf of the 8th Form I wouldlike to thank Mr. Ritchie and Mr.Thompson for arranging this interestingexcursion.J .G.*• NEWPORT POWER STATIONOn Friday the 27th September, the7th Form paid a visit to the NewportPower Station. Transport was in the formof a private car and one car was foundto be capable of Caulfield to the ferryin less time than the ferry was capableof one bonk to the other. Maybe theferry is not ca pa b le of 90 m.p .h. Onceinside, our first lesson was that there aremore adjectives than we learnt inMatric. English. After our un spoilt mindsgrasped this, we were able to take inthe vastness of the station.We were shown the water st ra iningsystem and then on our way to the roofan inspection was mode of the processfor preparing the ash for disposal . Onthe roof an excellent view was obtainedof the yards and the conveyors whichcarry coal to the bunkers; the samebunkers were next to receive our scrutiny.After this we went on to the boilerswhich supply steam to the turbines. Betweenthe boilers and turbines wepassed through the control room whereone body was heard to exclaim "­water is dripping down my neck."On reaching the turbines we foundseveral of the turbines were in variousstages of undress undergoing overhaul.This proved most helpful to us for itprovided the multitude with their firstopportunity to study the construction ofa turbine out of textbooks.Thus the trip concluded with the descentof many fl ights of stairs and itwas a wiser group that set out for home,tired but happy.Thanks are due to Mr. Thomson whoarranged the tour and to the SEC.guides and Mr. Middleton who accompaniedus over the station.M.A.*• Division of TribophysicsC.S.I.R.O.35On Friday, 14th June, Form 8A visitedthe C.S .I.R .O. Tribophysics sectionsituated in the Un iversity grounds. Aswe a rrived early we inspected the newlyerected ultra-modern Wilson Hall andthe Beaurepaire Sports Centre. A shortintroductory talk was given by Dr. W. E.Boas, during wh ich he shattered Mr.K's theory as to the nature of friction.We were then shown around the laboratories.

First of all we saw a micro hardnesstester used for measuring the hardnessof a metal within the grains, and then abearing testing machine, which was developedin the Division. This lattermachine "the bearing buster" as it hasbeen christened by its fond parents,took n ine years to build. It is extremelysensitive and accurate; the scientists atC.S .1.R.O. are very proud of it. It isused to study running-in properties, theeffect of journal surface finish, clearancesand other factors affecting bearingperformance. When a meta I is deformedor work-hardened it acquiresstored energy. We were shown anotherextremely sensitive apparatus which wasbeing used to compare the energy releasedby a work-hardened specimenwith an annealed specimen at the sametemperature. The apparatus consistedessentially of two vacuum colorimeters,plus some electronic measuring equipment.Next we sow on electron diffractioncamero which was used for studyingthe structure of surface films. Wewere then shown how single groins ofmetal were made. This can only be donewith small specimens but even so, apure metal can be made to have (Jstrength of around 1,000,000 poundsper square inch.Finally we inspected a modern andspotlessly clean machineshop wheremuch of the equipment at Tribophysicswas made. We then had afternoon teaafter which we were goven a further illustratedlecture.I would like to thank Mr. Keller onbehalf of Form 8A for arranging this excursion.The 8A Form ogreed that itwas the most interesting and educationalexcursion for the year. The only troubleabout visiting such a place is that youfind out just how much you don't know,but perhaps that is a good thing.J .G.*• DEFENCE STANDARD LABS.During one Wednesday afternoon inJuly the 8th Form pa id a visit to D.S.L.,Maribyrnong. D.S.L. were so pleased tosee us that they kindly sent a bus to pickus up at Spencer Street Station.On reaching our destination, we weregreeted by dozens of glamorous girlswho were to act os our guides-theypresented us with ident ificotion tags.One certain gentleman knew a number36of these girls, and consequently notmuch was seen of him during the excursion.The first point of call was at theStrength of Materials section where allmanner of materials including metals,rubbers, plastics, and timbers are testedand instruments are calibrated andtested.From here we went to Electrodepositionwhere a demonstration of the electroplotingprocess was given. Productionof pure chromium, electropolishingand anodizing of aluminium were alsoseen here.Next we saw the testing and developmentof paints and then the ChemicalDefence section where methods for detectingtoxic agents are investigated andthe development of respirators is carriedout.In the Pyrometry section we saw variousmethods for measuring temperaturesfrom 183°C to 2300 °C.At the Explosives and Ammunitionsection smokers were compelled to leavetheir equipment outside the building.The performance of explosives and detonatorsis studied here.In the Physical Metallurgy section weinspected a wide variety of service failuresof engineering components. Wesuspect that this is the origin of Mr. K'scollection.No one, except possibly a few electricalengineers, understood the Electronicssection where experiments arecarried out on radio frequencies. Wespent a long time in the Spectroscopysection because afternoon tea wasserved here and an appl ication form for" working" at D.S.L. was g iven out. Wewere shown how the spectrograph wasused for the quantitative detection oftraces of impurities in metals and alloys.Other sections visited were Radiography,Metrology and Text iles . Thosewho went on this interesting excursionwish to express their gratitude to Mr.Keller, who made the trip poss ible .J .G.

• STEELWELDAn excursion to "Steelweld" was oneof the many interesting trips which studdedour dreary year.Three car loads of Seventh Form studentstook various routes and arrived atvarious times. The plant specialised inthe welding of structural steel and earthmovingequipment. The amount of fabricationwork done was amazing and wewere also able to see a large variety ofmachining operations, which includedgear generating, broaching, milling andgrinding, (Incidentally, we d id not seecentreless grinding,) One guide kindlytold his group all about a gear generatorand produced many illustrated catalogues.By this time we were anxious to gohome for teo. Three car loads left, eachheaded for C.TS" but, to the amazementof all, one was later seen at a certainmotor auction garage. Another decided to avoid the heart of Footsc ra y bytaking a short cut wh ich inc lud ed a" Co ok's Tour" of Williamstown, Theother car load of little boys become lostwhile avo iding a member of the constabularybecause the driver did not stopfor a talking type of policeman.Th is excursion was a great success,beca use none of the cars was el iminatedfrom the race to Geelong by damagedmetal work.F.M.*• BELL'S ASBESTOSAs po rt of the syllabus of the newsubject of Eng ineering Practices, FormSA had to receive instruction on steamfittings. Two lectures on this subjectwere kindly given by Mr. Renshaw ofBell's Asbestos, Waverley Rood, EastMalvern.In his first lecture, he spoke aboutinsulation, stop valves and pressure regulatingvalves, In his second lecture hedescribed steam traps and sepororors.He explained where each of these isused and wh y they are used.

• SOUNDS OF THE NIGHTFifth Form EssaysThere are no signs of activity; thecity seems silent. The street is empty;the nearby houses are barely visible inthe enveloping darkness. The soft purrof a small car is heard as it turns thecorner, stopping in front of a silenthouse. Its lights are dimmed and oncemore silence reigns.The rapping of shoes on the concretepavement disturbs the quiet. A man approachesfrom the end of the street,turning as he reaches his house. Thereis a crunching sound as he walks up th igravel path; he trips over the garbagecan, and the clatter of tin on bricksawakens the neighbours. Lights flick on,a neighbour appears at the fence, butthe disturber has gone. There is a momentarysilence, broken by the bang of adoor as it is slammed. and the cursingneighbour goes back to bed.Then, as if th is lone man was a forerunnerof what was to come, the niqhtair is filled with voices. Voices, talkin:;Jof the mystery film which is showing atthe local theatre, or remarking on theexce Ilence of the donce band wh ich waspresent at the dance . The street is illuminatedas the lights in the houses areswitched on. Ten, maybe fifteen, minutespass before the street is againplunged into darkness. The door of thesmall cor slams, and the sound of agirl's feet Iightly tap the path as shehurries inside. The lights of the corflick on, the roar of the engine follow sas it is "gunned", reaches its acme andfalters as the cor moves off.At the fire station around the cornerthe bell ring s frantically, the doors swingopen, and the huge red machine venturesforth into the gloom. There is thescreech of brakes as it turns a corner.The new tyres, with their high tread.whirr along the rood. There is a reverberatingclang as the bell rings andeventually the red tail lights disappearinto the gloom.Knock, knock, knock. The watchm::mat the factory hears this, and, on investigating,finds a door shaking in thewind. There is a scatter of tiny feet asthe mice race across the floor pursuedby a cot. A dog barks, and the tinkle ofthe milkman's bottles mingles with thepot-pot of a dripping tap. These are allsounds of the night .John Davies, 5B.• PROGRESSLook carefully reader; this is the year2000 A.D . Are you surprised becausethere are no buildings?

Darn, SA• Co-Education in SchoolsBy co-ed uca tion in schools, I pre sume the question refers to schoolsthat teach students between the ages when they (eave primary school andwhen they attend university .First let us consider the problem fromthe natural point of view, namely thatmen and women work side by s ide in thisage. They go to primary school together,they go to university together; why thenthis unnatural separation during thesecondary yeors of school ing ?When faced with th is question thosewho d isagree with co- education usuallylamely say that boys and g irls are taughtdifferent th ing s, or that girls maturequicker than boys during th is period. Butlet us consider the q ues t ion in anotherlight; do students themselves wont coeducationor nor?Surely this is a factor of pr ime importance,but one thot receives ve rylittle, if any consideration . Far too manyadults dismiss the op inions of thosedirectly concerned, calling them children'sideos and therefore of little consequence.Then they proceed with theirpet theories obout co-education beingthe cause of the ove r-fam iIiarity of theyo ung, say that the country would become" Iike America" with all its sordidcri me so They tend to forget, however,that the incidents they read of in thepapers are those that are unusual andnot really representative of the wholecommunity.Those people, however, who are decidedly for co-ed uca tion, argue that co ­education helps to remove shyness ofpeople in their deal ings with the oppositesex, helps them to see the other sex'spoint of view and thus promotes a happyand harmonious relationship betweenmale and female. Another questionoften brought up is the effect on thebehaviour of students that co-educationhas. Some argue that in a co-ed uca ti ona lsituation students would behove betterand show more interest in school life , inan attempt to create a good imp ression.Others say that the students tend to" show off ," by exh ibiting insubordination and insolence. But the type who isattracted to people of th is calibre willusually meet them in other, perhapsmore unsavoury cond it ions. and thereforethe a rgument falls down.From the above evidence it should beclear that students should have the opportunityto take either type of education,but should be given advice whenmoking the decision and reminded thatthe subject should not be t reated lightlyor flippantly.J. DORN, SA• THREE GOOD BOOKSAlthough we may read many booksIn a lifetime, we occasionally comeacross one wh ich we feel "hits home"more than the others. Three such booksore named below. The first could bedescribed as the fir st history book everwritten." He rod otus" is a very fasc inating , intriguing and info rma ti ve book. It isinteresting because it prov ides a firsthandknowledge of ancient Greece andher ne ighbouring countries, for theauthor himself lived in those times.39

..When we read the book we marvel a tthis man's foresight in writing down sucha comprehensive history of his people.This is a book which demonstrates thequ alities of the author h imself as well asthe qualities of the people he ha s writtenabout.From the time of An cient Greece wenow come to the days of " Good QueenBess" and the Spanish Armada. CharlesKingsley has depicted these days in hiswonde rf u l book of adventure, " W es t­ward Ho ." We falJow the life of ourhero, Am ya s Leigh, from his home withhis mother in Devon t o the Irish Wars.Thence to the Spanish Main and SouthAmerica - always fighting and raidingwith a purpose - to toke revenge uponthe hated Spanish. This is adventure atits best for these are the " glorious days"Despite the f ilm 's three hours' length,the book's a cti on had to be pruned con ­side ra bly a nd many of the importa nt inofEngland. We are fighting in themwith Amyos to the end, to the t riumph,and all the time we are enj oying it.An adventure sto ry of a d ifferent t ypeis Ion Idriess' book " Light n ing Ridge."The character stud ies, al ong with asmooth, natural st yle , mould the lifestory of the a uthor into a very enjoyablebook. Into the picture of the Australianoutback wh ich he has painted, Idr iesshas woven an informative story on opa lsand opal gouging. This makes the bookvery interesting. Although the a bovethree books are ve ry different from oneto another, they aJI have something tointerest the reader. The first-a history,the second an adventure, and th e thi rdthe lives of a group of people. They areall well worth reading.TREVOR C.

• CAUTEC DEFEATS YANKS IN BASEBALLThree American warships were in port. In the newspaper appeared aphotograph of a sa ilor playing baseball and the caption read that thesailors had one complaint - they wanted to playa baseball match againstAustralians.So, on a Thursday afternoon , twoteams took to the baseball diamond, oneteam consisted of American sailors, theother team was from the honoured establishment of Caulfield Tech. with two" rinq-ins" from Swinburne.The match started with mu ch excitement,especiaIly from the spectators,who, it appeared, hod never seen Americansand who thought they were somethingto be stared at in amazement.Neither team scored in the first innings,but in the Yanks' second inningssomethi ng went wrong with our fieldersand they sneaked a runner a cr oss thehome plate. After thi s, their pitcher, agiant negro with plenty of stea m in hisarm, was taken to the doctor with numeroussa fe hits, the best of these beingtwo home runs, one by Alan Anderson,and ex-Cautec student now at Swinburne,the other by John Flood .Both teams were rather excited afterthi s exh ib it ion of bat-wielding, theYon ks being worried to such an exte ntthat changes were mode and numerouspitchers, catchers, first basemen andthird bagmen we re tried in on effort togain an advantage over our predominantside.They met with some success, however,not because of their fielding or botting,but only because of e rro rs we mode inthe field and, at on e stage, looked likecoming close to us, but the result of thegame wa s ne ver really in doubt.The final score showed us so for infront that we nonchalantly forfeited ourlast in nings.After the game we were d isc ussingvarious things with the boys (whosecountrymen hod invented the game inwhich they hod been disgraced) and tryingto " bot " a few American cigarettes,when we heard their feeble excuse fortheir defeat. A small negro in the s idetold us, " - few of tho guys got t oqeterdarn at tha ship this marnin' and pickedtho team so we didn' ha ve tho cha nceto practise."This would have been the weakest explanationever, but, all in all , both teamsenjoyed a very tense and exc iti ng game.The final score wa s 16 runs to 10runs so it was a close enough game to bever y interesting.42

Inprevious years Coulfield has not beenvery succe ssful on the football field,winning only one game lost year andlos ing eve ry match in 1955. However,this year there was a big improvement.At the beginning fo the season therewere severa l practice matches in whichwe were beaten by Toorak Teachers'College twice and narrowly beaten bySwin burn e; but we soundly defeatedBurwood Teachers' College and, in thelast practice game, completely overwhelmedUniversity High School.In the f irst pennant match of theyea r we played Footscray on their home43ground. Footscroy produced some brilliantfootball in the fi rst half wh ich wecould not counter. However, in t he secondhalf, we settled down and playedconsiderably better, but Footscraymaintained their big lead and went onto win quite comfortably. The next gamewas Geelong at Geelong, where we againfound th e home side t oo strong. Afteran excellent lunch we ran out on to therain sodden Kardinia Park Oval w iththe ra in showi ng no sign of ea sing. Geelong,adapting themselves to the wetcond it ions, had established a handylead by half time. However, in the secondholf, Caulfield played much betterbut we cou ld not bridge the gap andGeelong won quite convincinqly.For the third game, when we were

hosts to Ballarat, we made se veral positionalchanges which had the desiredeffect. After on even first quarter, Caulfieldsettled down to the task , and withJohn Nation starring in the centre,turned on a brilliant display in the secondquarter to kick six goals againstBallarat's one. From then on we kept upthe pressure to eventually win the gameby ten goals.After our success against Ballarat, wemet SWinburne, who had beaten us ina practice game at home. However, inthe first half we reproduced our bestfootball and at half time held a commandinglead which apparently shockedSwinburne because in the second halfthey fought back well , causing us a fewanxious moments, but we managed tohold them off to win by two goals.In the last game against Melbourne,we hod to play two men short a s severalplayers were unavailable because of illness.However, this did not worry us asit produced some fast open footba lionour forward line and we won quite comfortablyby six goals, on excellent finishto the season.Right throughout the season thewhole team played with great spirit andas a result we lost two games and wonthree, to finish third in the competitionbehind Footscray and Geelong, on exceedinglygood performance.*• SENIOR CRICKETAfter a mediocre season this yea r,Caulfield can look forword to ne xt seasonwith great confidence of regainingthe premiership we lost this year.Our first match was ag ainst Swinburneat Caulfield Park. Swinburne wonthe toss a nd sent Caulfield in to bat.Disa ster st ruc k early as McCoy wasbowled first boll of the match; howevera brilliant 2nd wicket stand of 129 runsbetween Baird and Davidson put Caulfieldin on olmost unbeatable position.At the compulsory closure Caulfieldwere 3 for 137. Swinburne were thendismissed for 114. Successfu l wickettakersfor Caulfield were Gould, Clarkeand Flood.The second match wa s played againstFootscray at the Seddon Oval. Finalscores were Caulfield 9 for 95 v. Foots ­cray 3 for 105. McCoy (29 ), Munce(17) and Clarke (17 n .o.) were our rungetters.The final match was played againstthe Melbourne Technical College at theschool ground. We were defeated by 28runs after a grim struggle. Norm Watson,playing in his first match with theteam, captured 5 Melbourne wickets for18 runs, including the hat trick.Our team, though not as st rong as theprevious year, was well balanced andcontained many promising cricketers.Those who played with the side were:­Alan Baird: Capable captain and re­Iioble open ing bot.Tom Gould: Right-arm opening fastbowler. Useful toil end batsman andvice-captain of the team.John Flood: Only all-rounder of clo ss.Could always be relied upon either withbot or boll.Frank Hammill: Opening fa st bowlerwith a low trajectory. Did not displaytrue form until lost match .Ted McCoy: Most talented batsmanin the side . Excellent fieldsman.Don . Gresswell: Capable wicketkeeperwithout a sundry against hisname.Jim Ellis: Fast right arm bowler andhard h itting batsman.Newcomers who played for Caulfieldfor the first time were:­Lindsay Davidson: Stylish batsmanand slow bowler.Peter Mudge: Right hand batsman.Excellent fieldsman.Don Clarke: Opening fast bowler andgo od tail end batsman.Norm.

• SENIOR BASEBALLThis year's baseball team was unluckynot to win the premiership, butne vertheless the sea son was quite successfulwith the team winning seven ofthe nine games played.The first practice match of the seasonwas played at Hartwell against aninexperienced team from BurwoodTeachers' College. Caulfield's team,playing together for the first time, combinedwell to win .The second practice match wasplayed at home and Caulfield soundlydefeated Swinburne 9-0 .The fi rst competition match wasplayed at the Yarraville Oval againstFootscray Technical School. Caulfieldproved to be much too strong and c ompletelyoverwhelmed Footscray to win24-5.Caulfield travelled to Kardin ia Pork,Geelong, to ploy the Gordon Institute ofTechnology in the second competitionmatch. The day was wet and cold a ndthe ground conditions were shocking.After a tight a nd exciting game Caulfieldwon 6-4.Ballarat visited Caulfield to ploy theth ird competition match and the gameresulted in a draw - 5 all .The next compe t it ion match wasplayed against Swinburne TechnicalSchool and Caulfield was narrowly defeated5-3.The lost competition match wasplayed at home against Royal MelbourneTechnical College and Caulfield woneasily 9-2.The competition matches being completed,0 game was arranged againstMelbourne High School. The drizzlingrain soaked all the players, but it didnot dampen the enthusiasm of the Coulfield team who eventually won 9-3 .When some American destroyers visitedMelbourne in October, the sailorscomplained that they could not find abaseball team to play them. Consequently,a combined Caulfield-Swinburneteam was arranged to ploy amatch against a team from U.S.S. Hammer.After a marathon game lastingover three hours, the Americans weredefeated 16-10.Special cong ra t ula t ions must go toTed McCoy and Stuart Nicholls whowere picked to play with the VictorianSc hoo lboys' Baseball Team.

Bob Eckhardt is nicknamedConchie, because he prefers togo home and " st udy" (we have our suspicions)rather than to attend someclasses.John Barnes, on electrical genius, isour hi-fi fan and can usually be foundin the record bar in Caulfield market.Roy Drew effectively d ivides his timeinto two halves; one is spent f ixing hisfamous " Drewmobile", the othe r, defendingt he Victorian Ra ilways. HeinzEde lmaier (the 58 th varie ty) carries hisarm in plaster and s lee ps throughphysics IB periods. H is nome is usuallyabbreviated to " H".

heard having a conference in Germanwith Jim Schmul who tries to make outwhat they are talking about from hisknowledge of German. This group hasrecently had an addition; he is PeterBarta, a Hungarian, who when asked ahard question, can't speak English! The"lad" with the Elvis sideboards is ofcourse, Joe Cincotta, a real brain inmoths.

We have survivedthe year unscathed even throughromance, work and other (? unhappysituations. On occasions the GreatPlague swarms up from the [ower regionsand extracts innocent victims-such asBobbie, Nancy, Anita and Natalie ­then spirits them into the heathen worldof motors, turbines, nuts, bolts andCRANKS, leaving the rest of us in anaesthetic heaven of subtle colours andsi /ly twisted mode Is.However, a II is not heaven . In factwe are being insensibly jacked up intothe realms of Cezannic ChiarneuroricRembrantism.

Butlife still goes on. Of Course there aredangerous moments, when for instance,some of our innocents, crossing to theTemple of Bacchus, are almost rynedover by the red-devil in his 'aguar.In all seriousness though, we are aunited band of fanatics.

• FORM DA 3 & 4 NOTESThe search far the ever-eluding happinessof Iife has brought about a longextinct form of art. This form of art isprevalent (in some ways) in the fourthyea rs sect ion of DA4 . Although theDA4 s are either newcomers or o ldc ome rsthey o re all late-comers! The productionoutput of this g roup is sta gge ring- however,some of their good points inc ludea fonatical love of bookbinding andleatherwork which is sh own by theirfrenzied efforts to get to Prahron ontime.Introduc ing each of our g roup, wehave fir st the DA4s :IAN : His art contains primitive principlesand theorie s of a for differentnature to th ose usually seen in theworks of the g reat masters. If, instead ofthe totally intellectual approach to hisart, he were to add something of thehuman element, he may, in ti me be com ea member of the "Bell school".The savi ngs Ian makes in ha ircuts a l­lows his expense account to run to telescopes, sco oter bikes and large, gallont ins of poster paint. Ink impressions ofdead fish is another of le n's many ti meconsumingeccentricities. Everyon eplays al ong and hum ours hi m becausepe ople like h im ha ve been known to becomevio lent. Bob a nd Ion have beenknown to argue over things called"swipes", both textured and plain. InBob's opinion len's art is " just likemother used t o make" .LES: How two people, unrelated andwith such unusual surnames, could cometogether in a gr oup is a co inc ide nce almostbeyond belief. Les is the on lymember of our group who can lay claimto any material proof concerning hisartistic ability. This came about whenh is dial appeared in the "Sun" underthe bonner, " Ca u lfie ld lad successful in68art com pet ition". As to Les's artisticability; a deft approach to colour, themethod of appl ication of wh ich, accordingto him, ha s resulted in many od 'sand camp's confusinq to Ian.Les was the founder (and at presentholds the chairmanship) of the " PseudoFreud Discu ssion and 'Analys is Group".This group was the successo r of the original" Drea ms and Nightmares Inter­pretation Debates" . On the day follow ­ing on interest ing dream by one of itsmembers, the group would converge ina huddle over a he ater du rin g " rests"a nd begin a d isc uss ion on the h idde nmeaning s behind the subconscious men­tal pictures wh ich would often occur intechnicolou r as well as th e more ordi n­a ry black and wh ite .BOB insisted we would not do himjustice , so after some persuasion we lethim write h is own notes.Although Les and Ion both have artisticpotential (with all due respects tothem), they must face the fact thatneither can match the standard set byone Bob Sm it h. His future ha s alreadybeen marked in the realms of art as aleader and a ge n ius for yea rs t o come.H is work is fast surpassing that of allothers and eve n M ike Angelo is beginning to wobble on h is pedestal. W ithsuch talent preval ent in DA4 the othermembers of the gr oup are of course, influenced.Often jealou s words are spoke nin an effort to decrease t he value of hiswor k which is somet imes even cop ied orinfringed upon . But Bob knows that heneed not be concerned because theyco u ld never, by copy ing , attain the realq ua lity of h is art.Should nothing be heard of the abovestudents in years to come, at lea st theirnames will go down in the historic re­co rds of Coutee, for who could forgetthem? (Least of all their tecchersl )Now our DA3s­Two so-called innocents a rrived greenfrom that speck in the country - Mary­borough.
