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. His dreamy friend Ron Huttonalways seems to be asleep but somehowfinds enough energy to play volley ball.Cha rl ie (Chos., Nude-nut) stringer appearsto spend most of his time chasingthe fair sex or leading a mob out to" chec k up" on the students' cors. PeterGalbraith, the horror of the chemistrylob ., is olways trying to keep Russ Forgeawoke. This boy is what you might coli"the missing link". David (Jerry) Chamberlainis one of the best arguers in thewhole school. He has a fairly good eye(as we have seen in many chalk fights>.Now we come to Ion Fitcher and RobertBowden, two boys who ore olways designingbits and pieces for their motorboots and who occasionally join in withthe chalk fights. Michael Buck, RobertAsh and John Boston all get around togetherand are pretty quiet, considering.Alan Duncan is our S.R.C. represent­ative and usually shows up for the meet­ings. Graham Ennor, John Watus andForest are all good chalk throwers. For­est is a fairly good shot with the washbottle in chemistry. Paul Mullens is theathletic type and is fairly quiet in class.Ron Faul (foul) is a cheerful type andgets on well with our marvellous Mr.Clarke (hrnm hmml). Terry Gamel is anotherquiet type who often indulges inthe foul ploy going on . John Bell is thebrain in the form-he got marks in thehigh 90's in the mid-year exams.Len Whelan is one of the backbenchexperimenters. We don't think he likeschalk throwing os he does not indulge init . Ironsides is a weird character. Thereis always a question about him-has hegot goats or has he not?John Notion and Ian Sweatman arethe two footballers of the form and thei rtolk is mostly football. Cliff Bills, JimWebster and David Roberts are alwaysarguing on Whose Austin 7 is the fastest.Jim (Deod-Fye Dick) U'hen just listens.67Jim has the best eye in the form , he canhit almost anything in sight.We would like to thank the membersof the staff who have helped and insome ways hindered us, the students of50. (Pass the chalk'-Ed.)• FORM SAC NOTESIn the year of our Lord one thousandnine hundred and fi fty-seven ye sow thebeginning of a new era at CaulfieldTech. - namely the arrival of US(which is a good thing>. 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. Heaven departs altogetherwhen we angels drooble off tothe moonlit beaches of Canadian Baywhere most of the time is spent hoppingthrough the woods. Unfortunately thereis a develin' of a splash when Roy Rogersis doppered into the brood ford .Apart from this we will still - er ­um - well - mm - yes - mmmmm- yes - hope to survive the stormyblasts of these haripping hazards. 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. Take for instanceour help (?) with the conce rt .Next morning it was a matter of "bringingin the sheep".Lylle and again, assignments are forgottenby certain members of our fraternitywhose thoughts are constantlywandering to Ararat, etc., etc., etc., andso forth.
