PRINCIPAL'S
NEWSLETTER NO.1: 1977
Dear Parents,
REPORT
There is a saying that today is the first day of the
rest of your life. This is very true of myself, and
also 01 your sons, who each year are drawing
closer to the time when their school formation will
be behind them.
When that day comes I hope they will be able to
reflect and come to recognize that the Christian
Brothers and the Lay Staff of the school have
provided for them the essential elements of formal
religious education, which is THE reason for the
existence of Parade College.
Congratulations arc due to all the staff of '76 for
the excellent H.S.C. results. Well over 80% of the
boys presented satisfied University entrance requirements.
The Duces were as follows:-
SCIENCE - STEVEN COLLINS
HUMANITIES - ALAN SUNDERLAND
COMMERCE - ANTHONY FLYNN
Congratulations to them and their parents on a
fine eftor!. I can assure you that all staft are determined
that this high standard will continue in
1977.
There are a number of new 51aff Members:-
Rev. Brothers V. L. Swaney, O. V. Wynne. N. C.
McMahon. J. A. Caldwell, P. L. Jones Md P. Chapman.
New Lay Siaff Members:- Messrs. P. Crennan,
G. Foley, M. Hughes (phys. Ed.), N. A. McDonald,
B. Walsh.
I am sure you will welcome them all. In particular,
r feel I should single out two who will have administration
positions to fulfil - Br. V. L. Swaney, the
new Deputy Headmaster who comes to us from
C.B.C., S!. Kiida where he has taught senior work
for some years, andthe new Head of Edmund Rice
College, Br. P. Chapman who comes to us from
SI. Kevin's and will also be working in the senior
area.
NEWSLETtER
NO.2:
To-day is Shrove Tuesday, sometimes referred to
as Pancake Tuesday, and it is a traditional day of
celebration of Mardi Gras in many Latin-speaking
countries before commencing the rigorous period
of Lent, which begins tomorrow ASH WEDNESDAY.
Ashes have a special physical significance at
Parade at the moment; however, it is to the spirit
that we must all - parents, students and staff -
turn to tomorrow and make some effort, however
small, to get in some spiritual training before the
great event of the Christian Year - Easter Sunday.
I think the concluding prayer from thc Holy
Office, as said by Priest for tomorrow, sums up
what is required, and I ql10te it for your adification:
Support us. Lord, as with this Lenten fast we
begin our Christian warfare, so that in
doing battle against the spirit of evil,
we may be armed with the weapon of
self-denial.
We make this prayer through Jesus Christ,
Our Lord.
/ did say to you that a statement would be made
concerning discounts for brothers, and the follo'N~
ing is my decision on the matter:
SCHOLARSHIPS & BROTHERS' DISCOUNT
1st Brother 2nd Brother
Dj~count: 0% 10%
3rd Brother
4th Brother
Discount 15% 100%
Work out each of the brothers individually along
the following directions:-
1. Always ignore the 1Sl brother - scholarship or
no scholarship.
2. The 2nd brother (ignore 1st brother)
(a) 10% discount if has no scholarship
(b) 5% if he has a scholarship
3. The 3rd brother (ignore 1st and 2nd brother)
(a) 15% discount if he has no scholarship
(b) 10% discount if he has a scholarship
4. The 4th brother (ignore 1st, 2nd & 3rd brother)
(a) 100% discount if he has no scholarship
(b) if 4th brother has a Junior Gov\. Scholarship,
there will be no fee (the College will
claim the scholarship amount).
5. These scholarships (discounts) will be taken to
the nearest $ in the accounts.
THE FIRE:
The fire started just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, and
the firemen were hampered by lack of water pressure,
and by the large number of spectators' cars
on the property. Use of the water from the swimming
pool saved the rest of Edmund Rice College
from destruction.
1 class-room and desks and new text books (purchased
for the whole year) of one Form I class.
1 tuck-shop and fillings.
1 Science room and fittings plus an 8" telescope
purchased only last week.
1 Art and Craft room and all new materials for this
new part of our educational scheme.
Not to worry - like the mythicai Phoenix we will
rise from the ashes stronger than ever. We have
already got a complete set of desks from the
Mercy Nuns at the Academy of Mary Immaculate.
free of charge. And we can arrange for Science and
arts and craft down at Parade itself. As for our 8"
telescope, I think we will leave this untit Haley's
Comet makes its next orbit.
I did say back a paragraph or two that "like the
Phoenix we will rise from the ashes". This can only
be done with parental support, and I am thinking
in particular of Sunday's working bee for the men
- we have now some extra work on our hands:
and also a function on Tues_, 15th March, for the
ladies. I can say sincerely that the Brothers and
Staff and our Fathers' & Mothers' Auxiliaries -
all of us - need your support, and this is always
more inspiring than straight money.
The library work by the Ladies' Auxiliary is going
well - we could not function without thosp. extra
fingers on the keys.
Friday, 4th March: On this day the school as a
whole will assist at Mass in the College Gym. to
ask God's Blessing in 1977. The College Capiain
and Vice-Captains will receive their inauguration
at this Mass.
Also on this day the school will be engaged in
competition against other schools in the Associated
Catholic Colleges' Swimming Carnival at
Olympic Pool. Our team has been training hard
and needs our support, in particular from the H.S.C.
and Form 5 classes.
P.S. I commend Brother Adams, Head-master of
our Junior School at Alphington to your prayers.

NEWSLETTER NO.3: 1977
At the second Vatican Council, one of the most
important points that came out of the various meetings
of Bishops was an emphasis on the Family
Group as a Christian influence in the world. I
noticed in "The Advocate" in the last couple of
weeks a review of material that has been produced
by Our Holy Father the Pope which is dedicated to
Family Prayer; The Pope's Family Book - Sl.75
per copy (avaiiable at the Catholic Library, Elizabeth
St.. Melbourne). It is probably a bit unfortunate
that most of us are only attracted to prayer when
we have our backs to the wall for some reason or
other. The publication is not meant to thrust prayers
at people, but merely gives suggestions of
helps for the family at prayer. I do not know what
happens in your home, whether your meal times
consist of individuals jumping up and down in
order to see some sensation which is mirrored on
the T.V. news, or whether or not your familyworks
as a unit. Whatever the case may be, I recommed
this publication to you. Some people think lhat
family Prayer is old-fashioned. I suppose somp. of
you can remember the Fatima Priest who came to
Australia some years ago with his quotation -
"The. family who prays together. stays log ether". I
do think there is some truth in this statement.
While I am talking along these lines I would like
to commend your prayers for one of the boys in
H.S.C. - Greg Nance - who is at the moment
seriously ill in hospital. The Ladies' Committee
were able to organise a Mass for Greg's recovery
on Tuesday. The Mass was said by Father Daly in
the College Library. The. H.S.C. class have arranged
a day of prayer for Greg's recovery on next
Monday.
Other people to remember in your prayers:-
Rev. Brother B. Garvey. a Past Principal of the
College, and a holder of the Tenete Award from the
Old Paradians' Association,
Mrs. Pat Gouid - Wife of Kevin Gould who was
the Secretary of the Parade Bundoora Building
appeal in the. iate 60's, acd mother of past pupils.
Mrs. Nell Booth - who was a great worker at
Parade, East Melbourne, and the mother of past
pupils, and
Judge J. G. Driscoll. a famous past pupil and
benefactor of the College who past away recently.
2. STUDIES: Forms 5. 4. & 3 finisheo their first
semester. and parents will bt? receiving communicOJtionsfrom
the school within the next week. The
teachers have been generally pleased with the
standard of work done by the boys in the semester,
which is a oarticulC'ldy good sign for the senior
classes in the next few years.
3. FINANCES: (i) I wish to remind parents of
sturients in Forms 5 & 6 of the Secondary Allowances
Scheme, 1977, which assists families with
lower incomes to keep their children at school for
the final two years of secondary schooling. Some
allowance is payable on Adjusted Family incomes
up to $7.249.99. All enquiries should be made to
the Commonwealth Dept. of Education. 450 SI.
Kilda Road. Melbourne (telephone 267 2988).
where application forms and information sheets
are available.
(ii) To simplify the sending of accounts to parents,
it is quicker to send the account in class order
rather than families where thert? are boys in dif.
ferent forms. One re-arrangement that we are making
is with regard to Travelling Allowances - in
future all rebates of travelling allowance will be
paid by cheque as soon as the College receives
the money from the Education Department. This
cheque will be included with the older boy's
account if there is more than one boy at the College.
In the past the College has been crediting
accounts for travelling allowances.
(iii) Brothers' discount is always deducted from
the younger boy's account.
(iv) Education Allowance - this allowance has
been received from the Victorian Education Dept.
as promised in the last election. Those boys on
Junior Government Scholarships DO NOT receive
this education allowance.
The amounts
Forms 4 & 3
Forms 2 & 1
are:.
$50.00 Form 6
$40.00 Form 5
$70.00
$60.00
These amounts (half for term 2 and half for term
3) as decided by previous Headmaster are being
deducted from Terms 2 and 3 accounts for 1977.
(v) On your account this term, as mentioned
last term. there is a gym. levy.
The reason for this levy has also been indicated
to you, and the levy varies from senior to junior
torms - from S2.00 to S8.00.
lt may be necessary to warn you at this time there
could be a levy in term 3 of approximately $10.00
per student. The purpose of this is to overcome
the expenses that we are running into with regards
to satting up of the library. The problems are. well
known to parents who are on either the Mothers'
or Fathers' Committees of the school. If this levy
does go on it will be in the form of a reduced re.
.duction of fhe Education Allowance (as above)
from Term 3 account.
4. BUSES: I have been talking to a number of
boys with reg3rds to the buses, and have no general
complaints about the boys' conduct, which I
think under the circumstances is very good. There
is one point that I WOL!ldbring to your attention,
and that is some boys either shout out or make
signs to Deople who are walking along the street
as the bus is either stopped at the lights or travelling
close to the kerb. I have a list of 11 boys'
names - all of them senior boys in Forms 5 and 6
who have been doing this. If your boy is in Form
5 or 6 and is a bus traveller, particularly on the
Ivanhoe bus, ask him if he is doing this, and if he
has and this is confirmed by a letter from me, you
will at least know that although he does have bad
mar-ners he is, at least, honest.

5. SPORT: The bad weather has told against our
two senior teams. they being somewhat lighter
than in previous years. The football team is one
game from the top, but must rely on others to defeat
the top team. The soccer XI yesterday defeated the
top team and now has a great chance. The Junior
football team is a very strong side and is revelling
in the conditions - winning each game by 101012
goals.
Another point to be brought up is that in the gym.,
boys are to wear the school shorts which may be
purchased from the book room. This direction with
regards to shorts does not apolv to H.S.C. boys
or any boy at this staqe who will be leaving the
College at the end of the year, but only to boys
who will be here next year.
6. OLD PARADIANS: Seeing that the football season
is well under way, I thought I would take the
opportunily of advertising on behalf of the Old Paradians'
Association some of their soorting activities.
It must be remembered that the school sees
these activities as alternatives for parents, and
whether or not your son uses these opportunities
or plays with some other club or organisation does
not really matter, as long as he is happy where he is.
(a) Old Paradians' Football Club - the O.P's
have been a prominant amateur side for many.
years now and have a junior football section which
fields two teams in the Preston District Competition
- an Under 14 and an Under 16 team. The idea of
the teams is to ftdvertise 1he a.p. Amate-tJr Football
Club. but also to take some pressure off the boys:
Le., the teams train only once a week and through
arrangements with the school a boy, who for some
reason can't train, has not the fear of missing out
on the Saturdays.
(b) The Old Paradians' Amateur Athletic Club:
The Old Paradians' Amateur Athletic Club runs
during the track season at Heidelberg Athletics
Centre and caters for senior athletes and also
Under 13,15 and 17 learns.
In 1976 the Old Paradians joined together with
North Melbourne Old Boys and SI. Bernard's,
Essendon boys Amateur Athletic Clubs to form a
super club called "STRIDERS". This club is now
an "A" club for Season 1977 and so this now means
that any boy who jOins the Old Paradians and
shows promise as an athlete is guaranteed to
compete in top competition if he wishes to no so.
Both these organisations advertise themselves
through the school before their appropriate season
for any boys who may be interested.
7. BUNDOORA FATHERS' ASSOCIATION: Many
thanks to the fathers who came on Sunday, 19th
June to the working bee. It was a very bleak day,
('md the amount of work done was quite appreciable.
I wish to remind parents again that the Headmaster
is available to the parents each day -
8.30 a.m. - 8.30 p.m. and on week-ends. If coming
on the week-end, please ring to check appointments.
NEWSLETIER NO.4: 1977
In the 3 to 4 weeks before the end of term two,
and during the term holidays, I was absent from
Parade on an important conference with regards
to the Christian Brothers. All Religious Orders at
the end of the Second Vatican Council were given
a period of 10 years in which they were to endeavour
to renew the spirit of their own Founders and
to re-seek the direction of Christ as given to their
Founder, in our case, Edmund Rice. This ten year
period is up for the Christian Brothers, and all over
the world during this time, Brothers' Provinces
have been having Conferences on the directions
which they will take in the future.
One important point that comes out of the
Conference that concerns us all is that in Western
countries (except for U.S.A.), the Brothers in the
near future, will feel the pinch of reduced vocations.
Here in Victoria, for example, unless things improve
in about 3 or 4 years, the Brothers could
start to be in the same position as many other
religious groups are already in. The Archdiocese
of Melbourine, for example, this year has withdrawn
Priests from some Parishes. This is the first time
this has ever happened in Victoria. I am sure you
will join with us Brothers and with the whole Church
in praying that Jesus Christ, who is the Lord of the
Harvest, will send labourers into His Harvest.
One other topic that arose in discussions concerned
the place of the Blessed Virgin Mary in our
schools. Devotion to the Mother of God has waxed
and waned through the centuries, and although
the Second Vatican Council fully endorsed the
honour given to Our Lady, there has been a tendency
among certain "modernising" Catholic
groups to play down this devotion on the ground
that too much emphasis on it hampers the Ecumenical
movement with the Christian Churches of
the Reformation. Throughout the ages. many
devotions to our Lady have arisen. In 1830, for
example, SI. Catherine Laboure, a Nun with the
Dal'ghters of Charily, by a vis:on of Our Lady. was
commanded to have a medal struck reproducing
the image of Our Lady as when she appeared to
her with the invocation "Mary conceived without
sin", and thus the well-known miraculous medal
came into existence, whose wearing came to be
linked with many wonders of grace and healing.
This event is connected to Parade, because the
aftermath of this vision opened the way for the
definition of the Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception
by Pope Pius IX In 1854. Parade Co!lege is
dedicated to Mary under this title.
On 2nd February, 1974, our Holy Father, Pope
Paul VI, issued an apolostic exhortation on the
Blessed Virgin Mary. In it he signalised his personal
support, particularly to the Rosary which had
been specifically mentioned by our Lady as a
prayer especially pleasing to her in her two most
famous Western appearances of Lourdes and
Fatima. Next week, with the starting of October, I
will meet with the class captains and council and
we will make some decision on a small devotion
which the boys at school will make to the Mother of
God during this month, which together with the
month of May are specially dedicated to Mary.
THE WALKATHON: Last Wednesday week the boys
held a walkathon, the main purpose of which was
to raise money for various needs of our Third
World Brethren. The event was organised by the
Deputy Headmaster, Brother Swaney, in conjunction
with the School Council and class captains, C\nd
it has raised over $10,000.00. All are to be congratulated
for this fine performance, particularly the
boys of Forms I & II who raised much more thon
their share of this fine total.
LADIES' AUXtLiARY: By the time the next Newslefter
will be issued (towards the end of this term),
thE:'President of the Mothers' Auxiliary, Mrs. Dawn
Turner, will hClve finished her 2-year term of office.
The new elections are taking place on 6th October.
Words cannot express my gratitude to Mrs. Turner
for the work that she has done during the year that
I have been here, and also in her previous year as
President. Also moving from office at the end of
their term will be Mrs. Margaret Sheather, Secretary,
and Mrs. Evelyn Robinson, Treasurer, and I
wish to express my gratitude to them also for their
untiring services. The ladies have just completed
their Annual Art Show which was very successful,
and you will be receiving a report from them On
this function, in the near future.

COLLEGE
STAFF
1977

FATHERS' AUXILIARY: A month later, the Presi.
dent of the Fathers' Committee, Mr. Peter Hedger,
will finish his term of Office. He has helped me
greatly this year with his advice, particularly as it
is my first year at Parade, and he has been a driving
force in the wonderful work the fathers are doing
for the College. I express my deep gratitude to him
and to any other members of the Committee who
may be retiring. The fathers have also completed
a successful sportsmen's night, and you will also
receive a report of this quite soon.
SCHOOL ACTIVITIES: At the moment, particularly
for the senior boys who are busy taking October
tests, things are quite hectic as they very SOon will
have to face the H.S.C. examination. All boys in all
classes should be studying regularly. Parents of
boys who are not in Form 6 will have some idea of
how far their son will actually progress through
the school in the study pattern that the boy exhibits.
From my experience in dealing with H.S.C. and
Form 5 boys for the past ten years, Ihe boys who
do not make it as far as HS.C. are those who are
unable to buckle down to study. It has very little
to do with acedemic ability. Once the boy hal>
reached the Form 4 level and can cope reasonably
well, he will make it, if he WANTS toi
PATRONAL FEAST DAY OF COLLEGE: December
the 8th is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception,
and I have been informed that in past years this
has not been highlighted very much in the College
and this is understandable., as over three-quarters
of the boys have usually left school by the time
this date arrives. After the consultation with the
staff, we have decided to transfer this Feast Day
to Friday, October 7th, which is the Feast of the
Holy Rosary. On this day the boys will receive a
holiday.
GENERAL MEETING OF PARENTS IN COLLEGE
HALL
Dear
Parents,
Thank you very much for your attendance at this
function tonight. As you know doubt realise we
have changed our ideas with regards to the large
Speech Night, and have settled on this Parents'
Night as a replacement.
On the stage behind me are the Deputy Headmaster
and all the Form-masters of the school:-
Rev. Brother Swaney: Deputy Headmaster
Mr. J. Cosgriff: Form Vi Form-master
Rev. Brother Francis: Form V Form.master
Mr. J. Jennings: Form IV Form-master
Mr. M. Hickey: Form III Form-master
Rev. Brother Caldweil: Forms I & II Form-master
The reason why these people are here is because
of important decisions with regard to the future
developments wihin the College that will come
from meetings concerning these people. So I
wanted that brought before your attention.
With regards to the Coilege IIself, in these days
there is a lot of confusion, and you will notice this
particularly if you read the Catholic papers, concerning
the teaching of Religion. Here at Parade.
and in all Christian Brothers' Schools, I think it can
be said that we have a reputation of being conservative
and in this area I think that it is a good
reputation to have, Le. if "conservative" means
foilowing the religious syllabi set out for Catholic
schools in this Archdiocese by our own Archbishop,
Frank Little.
I think it must be brought to your attention that
the major reason for Parade's existence is for the
development of the boy rather than obtaining for
the boy some particular academic certificate. In
my first weeks at Parade it was necessary for me
to speak to one particular boy in a senior class
about a certain matter which in itself was not
great, but after speaking to the boy a couple of
times J realised that things needed to be got home
to him q~ite clearly, particularly what he was here
for; and so I had him standing outside my office
for some time. He himself and his parents were
most indignant, claiming that he had missed
academic periods. I think the boy, and indeed the
parents, were missing the whole point of why they
had a son here at all! I must point out to you now,
that if it comes to a point of your boy missing periods,
some academic work, or even tests. in order
for me to get across to the boy some matter of
importance, he will miss those periods and tests.
I must pay tribute to the great work done at the
school by the teaching staff. It has been very easy
in my first year to fit into Parade. I do not have to
tell you that the staff is an excellent one - both
teaching and office staff, and the Mohers' and
Fahers' Associaions have been wonderful in their
support. Our sincere thanks must also go to
Fathers G. Gebbie, T. Bergin and L. Pascoe, who
have been coming regularly to serve the boys'
needs spiritually.
ACADEMIC
RESULTS:
We have made a change with regards to the
distribution of academic prizes.
In the past two or three years the H.S.C academic
prizes have been awarded on Speech Night. For
1977, our H.S.C. prizes will be awarded on the
H.S.C. results, and will be presented at a special
dinner for H.S.C. students in eariy April 1978. Also
presented at Speech Night in previous years have
been the Duces and Second & Third Piaces, in
each of the classes of each Form. This would
mean that in Form IV there would be four duces,
four second place & four third place; one of each
for each class. The staft feels that the weakness
of this system is that there are boys in some of the
Form IV classes. and in other classes as well,
who may not get in the First three in their own
particular class, but would be well in advance of
the first three from another rOom. As from 1977,
we will be presenting Certificates of Merit in each
subject in which the student excels. This means
that students receiving an "A" grading in a particular
subject will receive a Certificate of Merit
in that subject. It works in the same way as the
H.S.C. examination works - approx. 7% of those
who sit for a subject receive an "A", so that it
would be possible for a boy in a class to receive
a Certificate of Merit in every subject that he does
if he receives an "A" for that subject.
With regards to next year, there are a number
of important developments that will take place at
the College. Work experience programmes have
been running successfully in many schools for
some time, and we hope to start at Parade, our
own programme in 1978. This will cater for boys
in Form IV and Form V. The Junior boys (I & iI) will
be back next year at Edmund Rice. Re-building is
commencing at any moment. In the Form IV area,
and to a lesser degree in the Form III area, woodwork
will be taught as a subject in 1978. With many
changes in the schooling in the past four Or five
years, there has been a tendency for boys who
are after apprenticeships to go to Technical
schools and boys solely concerned with academic
careers to go to the normal Form VI school, the

edges in these areas have become somewhat
inter-meshed, and we have many boys who would
be leaving Parade in the Forms IV & V in order to
successfully enter apprenticeships, and we hope
that this subject will be able to give some of them
some idea of whether or nol fhey would be suitable
apprentices.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION:
In 1977 the Physical Education Department at
the school is employing one teacher fuJI-time and
one teacher part time. In 1978 there will be two
full-time teachers in this area.
For those of you who have been overseas or
have any connection with sport you would know
that European schools and American schools are
way ahead of Australian schools in the Physical
Education Area. It does appear that within the next
two or three years, Physical Education will be
accepted as a normal H.S.C. subject. As we have
all the facilities here - a fine gymnasium and
plenty of playing fields and the use of the pool at
Edmund Rice, we have decided that we are in a
very good position to take advantage of this;
therefore, Physical Education from 1978 will be
receiving the status of a normal curriculum subject
for Forms I to IV: Forms V and VI will be doing
Physical Education. but under the old style, as they
will not be able to take advantage of new developments
before they leave the College.
FINANCE:
With regard to finance, as we have not been
formally notified yet of the exact amount that we
will be receiving from the Commonwealth Government
in grants per pupil, I am unable to tell you
formally the amount of the basic fee for 1978.
except to say that it would be around $110 per term.
(Brother) J. M. Wright, Headmaster.
I am positive that everyone will be happier and
more at ease. I hope that the lead is followed.
On behalf of the Ccllege I would like to give
sincere thanks to the teachers. Without them. we
would not have a school at all. They work very
hard to bring the best out of the students. and are
successful in the majority of cases. Our thanks must
also go to the Ladies' Auxiliary - the President,
Mrs. Dawn Turner and her band of co.workers
who give us such valuable support. We are also .in
debt to the Fathers' Committee for their valuable
assistance during the year.

COLLEGE CAPTAIN'S REPORT
Success has once again been earned at
Parade College this year. The efforts put into
swimming, football and athletics were high,
with many students making personal sacrifices
for the College. I would personally like to thank,
on behalf of the College, the various coaches -
Mr. Malcolm Hughes, Brother Aron. Mr. Bruce
Walsh, Brother Coghlan, and of course, Brother
Wright, to name just a few. They have done a fine
job and have kept Parade amongst the top schools.
The students of H.S.C. 1977 are a credit to the
College. They have given excellent leadership to
the rest of the school. and kept the spirit of the
school at its high level. I found that there was no
group pressure in the present sixth form, and
that there was no one set group of students who
stuck together. If the College takes this lead. then
I would like to th .•nk Brother Wright too. He
came here not really knowing what to expect, but
to his credit he has done an excellent job as
Headmaster. To him, we are all in debt, and
nobody could ask for a better man for this difficult
task,
I would finally want to sav something on behalf
of the Sixth Form Council. We have found that
the students request YOll to do all you can for
them, yet they themselves do not even participate.
If the student wants somethina he can only achieve
it by asking. The School COL'ncil can only be
successful if the students oarticipate themselves.
We are hopeful, therefore, that the students will
respond more next year.
Success came this year, and success will come
to Parade next year, but only through hard work.

FOUNDER'S
DAY:
Friday, 29th July, 1977 was an important day for
the College. After some weeks of extensive preparation
by the organising Committee (the School
Council and the Class captains of each form in the
school), the plan was ready for the celebrations
connected with the commemoration of the Founder
of the Christian Brothers, Edmund ignatius Rice.
The main functions of the celebration consisted
of a Pageant:- CAST:
Announcer: Russell Leslie H.S.C.
Brother Rice: Paul Gleeson H.S.C.
Horatio Nelson: Paul Dawson H.S.C.
Napoleon Bonaparte: Matthew Barker (Form 5)
Thomas Jefferson: Alex Morelli (Form 4)
Matthew Flinders: Michael Kent (Form 2)
Shaka: Gary Murphy (Form 3)
Producer & Directors: Chris. Lee, Paul Dawson &
Bernard Hedger.
ANNOUNCER: "Boys we are gathered here on
a very important occasion. I
would Ike you to welcome Brother
Rice who has come to visit us
today on this his Feast day.
Brother Rice. on behall of the
staff and boys of Parade I would
like to wish you a very hearty
welcome"
BROTHER RICE: "Thank you very much. it is always
a pleasure to visit one of
the schools that the Brothers
that have joined my group have
founded. As a matter of fact, I
have a soft spot in my heart for
Parade, because it is the first of
the Brothers' schools to be
founded in Australia".
ANNOUNCER: "Brother, could you please tell
us a bit about yourself, as many
of the boys probably do not
know very much about you"
BROTHER RICE: "Well. there is not very much to
know really. I was born in 1762
at a place called Callan in Ireland.
There were four boys in
our family and I was the youngest.
Because there was not
enough room on the farm for all
of us, when I was 17 I went to
work for my uncle at a town
called Waterford".
ANNOUNCER: "Did you ever go back to Callan
after you left?"
BROTHER RICE: "Only occasionally to visit. My
uncle's business in Waterford
was one of supplying goods to
the ships that sailed to America
with immigrants from the poorer
parts of Ireland".
ANNOUNCER: "I believe, Brother, that you became
very wealthy in this
business"
BROTHER RICE: "Well, yes - that is pretty true.
As I lold you there were many
people and many ships in these
times, and it I do say so myself,
I was pretty good at business".
ANNOUNCER: "Can you tell the boys how you
came to be a founder of a group
of Brothers?"
BROTHER RICE: "Well. it is a rather long story".
.ANNOUNCER: "Just before you tell us about
this, we have a grou~ of people
here ~t the back of the stage
and they have kindly consented
to come along, because thev are
people who lived around about
your own time. We are wondering
if you can recogise them, or
if you actually knew them"
BROTHER RICE: "That is very interesting - I
really don't know!"
ANNOUNCER: "Well. I would like to call the
first person to the microphone"
to 1st person - "Meet Horatio"
- "Meet Brother Rice"
HORATIO: "How do you do, Brother Rice".
BROTHER RICE: "How do you do, Horatio:
ANNOUNCER: "Horatio, tell Brother Rice a
little bit about yourself, so that
HORATIO:
he can guess who you are"
"Well, I am an Englishman and
when I was 12 years old I jOined
the Navy.1 never actually visited
Irela{1d, but I was a steward in a
ship called "The Sovereign" for
some 6 months, and my ship
used to sail up and down the
Irish Coast trying to stop ilfegai
Irish immigrants from getting
across to France to either do
studies at the University or study
for the Priesthood.
In 18021 had risen to be the No.1
Admiral in the British Fleet.
Three years after this in 1805 I
was killed at the Battle of Trafalgar".
BROTHER RICE: "Yes. I know the man is Horatio
Nelson, the famous English
hero. I never actually met him
while I was on earth, but I could
have quite easily, because during
the time he was patrolling
the Irish Coast I had slipped over
to France on a couple of occasion~in
order to consult with
French Brothers about the Order
of Brothers that I was thinking
ot establishing".
ANNOUNCER: "Thanks very much, Horatio"
ANNOUNCER: "I would like to call forward the
second of our honoured guests"
ANNOUNCER TO
BROTHER RICE: "I would like you to meet
Napoleon"
BROTHER RICE: "How do you do, Napoleon"
NAPOLEON: "How do you do, Edmund Rice"
ANNOUNCER TO
NAPOLEON: "Can you tell Edmund Rice a bit
about you rself?"
NAPOLEON: "Well, I spent most of my years
in France, although I was born
on the Island of Corsica. I do not
know Edmund Rice personally,
but in 1802 when he first established
his schools in Ireland, I
was the Head Marshall of France
and was just beginning my
series of campaigns which
would make me one of the most
famous Generals in history".
ANNOUNCER: "Well, Edmund, I suppose you
know who this person is"
BROTHER RICE: "Yes, ,t is pretty easy - Napoleon
Bonaparte. It is true when I
. slippedover.to France in 1802
he was just a Colonel in the
revolutionary forces which were
at that time closing Catholic
schools and Monasteries. I had

to hide from some of his men on
occas:ons, but I have never met
him".
ANNOUNCER: "Thank you very much Napa
leon"
ANNOUNCER TO "The third person I want you to
BROTHER RICE: to meet is probably even harder
to guess. His name is even harder
to guess. His name is
Thomas'
THOMAS: "How do you do. Brother Rice"
BROTHER RICE "How co you do Thomas".
ANNOUNCER: "Can you tell us about yourself?"
THOMAS: "Well, I am an American and in
1802 when Edmund Rice founded
his first school I was actually
in France, and I have actually
met Napoleon. The purpose for
which I was in France was to buy
an area of land which would
double the size of the United
States. It was called the louisana
Purchase. I was able to buy
it for 39 million dollars, because
Napoleon wanted the money for
his wars. It gave America all the
IMd from the original 13 States
up to the edge of the Rocky
Mountains - all the Indian territories".
BROTHER RICE: "I know this man - his name is
Thomas Jefferson, the second
President of the United States
who became President in the
year 1799, the year George
Washington died".
ANNOUNCER: "That is correct, Edmund"
ANNOUNCER TO
THOMAS: "Thanks very much, Thomas"
BROTHER RICE: "I see you have a couple more
people - I don't think I know
these".
ANNOUNCER: "No, you probably would not, but I
think they are very important for
what we want to do. today. Matthew,
I want you to meet Brother
Rice"
BROTHER RICE: "How do you do Matthew"
MATTHEW: "How do you do. Brother Rice".
ANNOUNCER: "Matthew can you tell Brother
Rice what you were doing in
1802, the year Brother Rice
founded his first school?"
MATTHEW: "Well, in that year I was away
from all the fighting between
France and England, and I was
an explorer, and in that year in
1802, and actually during 1he
very month in which Brother
Rice was founding his first
school, I was not more than 40
miles from this spot. Bundoora!"
ANNOUNCER: "That is very interesting - tell
us a bit more"
MATTHEW: "Well, I had been sent by my
superiors to sail right around
Australia, and by 1802 I had
reached a Bay which I called
Port Phillip Bay. I sailed around
that and went into another little
bay which I called Corio Bay.
The land around was very flat,
but there was a big hill 12 miles
distant, which the natives called
"You Yang", and I determined to
climb this to have a look at the
country. I set out with a party of
ANNOUNCER:

MAN:
ANNOUNCER:
RICE:
11 sailors, and after walking
about four miles we were attacked
by a group of blacks. One of
my sailors was killed and three
blackfellows were also killed.
When the blackfellows ran away
I continued onward and climbed
the peak. I named the peak, with
the native name You Yangs
which it is still called today, although
on many maps it is called
after myself".
"Well, his name is Matthew
Flinders, and he was a lieutenant
in the British Navy and a
famous explorer in Australia"
"Thank you very much Matthew"
"Well finally we have got someone
here that we do not think
you would recognise, but who is
a very important person. I would
I would like you to meet Brother
Rice"
"How do you do".
"Well, I will start by telling
Brother Rice my name-SHAKA
-and I am a black African. In
1802 when Brother Rice founded
his schools in Ireland I was a
man of about 23 summers in a
very small tribe in South Africa.
Mv father had been chief of the
tribe but was murdered by his
uncle who was then chief. White
men were appearing in the area
and our peoples were dismayed.
These men were taking our
peoples over the seas into slavery.
I was determined that they
would take no more. I killed my
uncle and all his sons - 17 of
them! I joined my small tribe to
other small tribes in the area -
if any tribe refused to join my
group I would do battle with that
tribe and kill their Chief and take
the men into my army. Soon I
became the most f~1lred man in
Africa. White men no longer
came to our area to take slaves
from among our peoDle. Our
people were many little tribes
tribes joined together in on~
strona tribe. The African words
for many little. making one
strong is ZULU. So I am SHAKA,
the first chief of the ZULU!"
"Well Ec'ml'nd. I SU'JOC'l39 you
have .never heard of this man"
BROTHER RICE: "No I have not, but I have a
connection with this area because
we have a Brothers'
School in Zulu land (Natal), and
I have a record here that I would
like to play now, which probably
Shaka will recognise. It is a
school song from this Zulu
school, and of course it is naturally
a Zulu song.".
ANNOUNCER: "Thanks very much Edmund -
we will sit down now and we will
listen to the boys and girls at the
school at Ulindi in Zululand.
(Natal).
BROTHER RICE: "Perhaps there is one thing that
the boys here might not know
and that they themselves have

some connection with Zululand
that the Zulu form of greeting is
"Hiya" which is, I believe, still
used by people sometimes when
they greet each other.
(All listen to the tape).
ANNOUNCER: "Thanks very much Brother for
bringing that tape along. Is there
anything that you would like to
say to the boys before they go
on with their Founder's Day
Celebrations?"
BROTHER RICE: "There are a couple of things
that I would like to say to them.
The first is that I hope that in this
school, Parade, that the emphasis
is on the Christian formation
of themselves and their own
personality development rather
than on the scholastic work
which must take second place.
The second thing that I would
like to say to them is that no
malter what is said to them at
school, whether they are Christians
or not depends upon them.
selves, they must make the
decision for Christ and it is each
boy's own personal commitment
ANNOUNCER:
"Thanks very much Brother
Rice ,and all our other important
guests, and now I would like
everyone to stand while these
people leave the stage".
All leave the stage.
The pageant was followed by a series of games
in the yard which continued for an hour or so, at
the end of which the boys returned to the gym for
a very short Prayer Service during which Rev.
Father Daly delivered a homily on the virtues of
the Founder. The day concluded with a radio
programme being heard in each of the class rooms.
Both staff and boys appreciated the day, and I
think I would agree, in retrospect, that what was
done was more valuable than a holiday.

SPOR1'
A.C.C. SWIMMING CARNIVAL
The Parade Swimming Team finished a
creditable sixth overall in the A.C.C. Swimming
Carnival held at the Olympic Pool.
With very few exceptions all boys bettered their
previous best times, with young MATTHEW
CHESTER (U/13 Breaststroke) beating his best
time by 4 seconds.
II was obvious, though, that Parade lacked the
preparation of St. Kilda and De La Salle. However,
with one year's coaching under my belt and
with the enthusiasm already shown, Parade will
be out to do a lot better next year.
I would like to take this opportunity to
congratulate MICHAEL BUSCH, the team captain.
for his help throughout, and' also the many
parents who attended early morning training
sessions.
Personally I would like to congratulate all boys
who competed or who were emergencies on the
night, and I hope you all show the same
dedication to your task next year, as you did
this year.

UNDER 14 CRICKET
In the competition run by the Catholic Junior
Sports Association in the first term, Parade fielded
two teams, both of which had considerable
success. Most of the matches were closely fought
and all players enjoyed the season's cricket.
The two team were led by GRAIG LAWSON
and JOHN GOULDING.
1st XI: SOCCER
1977 was the first year for soccer as an AC.C.
competition and if we can guage by this year's
performance, it will be, in the future, a very
successful competition as far as Parade is
concerned.
Ably led by MARCEL VANDERSLlK, whose
lightning dashes into the forward line sptit the
opposition defence on many occasions, the team
earned the reputation of being unpredictable,
unbeatable one week, then careless and sloppy
the next. We had, undoubtedly, the strongest
backline in the competition and they rarely made
a mistake. But if ever an opposition forward did
manage to slip through the stalward line of
EPIFANO, MONTEMURRO, CONNELL, BARB IS
and VANDERSLlK, the brilliant goal-keeping of
FABIAN TASCA and EMILIO BEDIN usually kept
him out.
The forwards were unlucky throughout the
season and fine shots from PAUL GLEESON,
ENNIO REBELLATO, CHRIS RYAN & RICK
GUGLIOTII often glanced off the crossbar or
narrowly missed finding the back of the net. The
top scorers for the season wer ROBERT WEGNER
and JOHN RAYNER with 4 goals and VAUGHN
BEAN with 3. The most heartening thing about our
forward play was that at least the forwards did
keep trying and excellent passages of team work
were frequently finished off by clever goals.
Unfortunately during the season, injuries to key
players meant that our chances of winning were
reduced. In'a number of matches we were without
the lonq, attacking drives of JOHN MONTEMURRO,
the brilliant defensive tactics of MICHAEL
EPIFANO, MONTEMURRO, CONNELL, BARBIS
VAUGHAN BEAN, so it is unestimable how well we
would have gone if these players had been
present every game.
Of course, Mr. Pyrqos' coaching played a huge
part in our success. He was a tremendous help
in impressing the finer points of the game on the
players, especially the forwards who constantly
needed his knowledge and advice on asoects of
shooting for goal. As well as this, Parade piayers
were very rarely penalised on technical points
like incorrect throwinq-in or obstruction, and to
this end, especially with the less experienced
Mr. Pyrgos gave a great deal of time. We were
also a very fit team. Mr. Pyr!=Joshad made sure of
our fitness with a qreat deal of ore-season nractice.
The whole team is grateful to Mr. Pyrgos for his
coaching effort throughout the season.

PARADE ADOPTS PENSA FOR SENIOR SPORT
At an early meeting of sportsmasters of Parade,
C.B.C. North Melbourne and SI. Bernard's,
Esssndon, it was proposed that a form of
competition be initiated within the Form 5 and 6
area, for non~A.C.C. representatives, in football
and basketball. So PENSA was born.
Parade nominated three teams in each
competition and a series of home and away
matches were held and ladders were kept within
the nine football teams, and the ten basketbali
teams. Parade had three even teams from
different areas, the Bergs, the Boroughs and the
Towns. Each team had to nominate its coach
and/or manager, officials and team. The teaching
staff umpired or supervised. In this way, boys
enjoyed a form of competition and represented
their school.
Late in July, during the last round of A.C.C., a
series of finals in football and basketball and a'
lightning premiership in soccer were held. The
grounds were in very muddy condition but it did
not deter 170 North boys, 110 Essendon boys and
140 Parade boys. For the record, Parade topped
the Basketball and Soccer and were narrowly
defeated in football.
The concept was received enthusiastically by
the participants, and gave motivation for sport
in the second term which had not been in evidence
last year. Taking part in sport is one thing, but it
is enhanced by some form of competition and team
accomplishment.
Why would the House competition fail? I think
the travel, identifying with friends of one's area
in the same team, playing against other schools
were of greatest merit. Because the school is so
big and has little 'house' organisation, there is
little identification with the house team.
As long as administration can handle it, it is
hoped that it will continue in 1978 and may
encompass soccer.
UNDER 14 FOOTBALL
Parade fielded one team in this year's
competition organised by the Catholic Junior
Sports Association. The boys played with much
determination and skill but found themselves
undersized in all games. Though the team did
not record a win, the endeavour that they showed
brought much credit to themselves and the schooi.
The team were capably led by RUSSEL BROCK
who was a very consistent and determined player.
THE 2nd XVIII: 1977
The 2nd XVIII was a really well-balanced team.
We had - JOE BONIN, BOB BAGGIO, TONY
O'NEILL, DAVID WILLIAMS, PETER CHISHOLM
and GERRY ARTHUR to provide the pace, skill
and agility; JACK FLEMING, JOE CADDY, JOHN
SHANAHAN, and MR. COSGRIFF to provide the
brain power; MARIO KOS, JACK MULLANE,
JACK LOVE, DANNY WALSH, SIMON PURCELL
and PAUL NEESON to use the muscle and weight
necessary; and PAUL SMYTH, MiCK ELMOUSSALI,
ROSS STEWART and BRENDAN L'HUILLIER to
finish off the team.
Our coach, Mr. Cosgriff, really spurred us on,
and if we hadn't have had that final goal of a drink
and oranQe, many of us couldn't have gone on.
Mario Kos won the sportman of the week once.
When asked if he thought he would be in the firsts
the next week he replied; "What? I don't think I
deserve to be dropped". We had a good time in
in the seconds, and maybe we could have WON the
competition if those who came down from the
firsts each week could have earned themselves
a few kicks.
John Love.
OLYMPIC WEIGHT-LIFTING
at PARADE COLLEGE
During 1977, the Physical Education Department
introduced a relatively new sport in schools,
Olympic Weight-Iifling. This is a very dynamic
type of activity, which relies not only on strength,
but speed. Because of the speed element, the
boys quickly realized that they did not have to be
'giants' to perform well: there are many weight
divisions in which they can compete, ranging
from Paperweight (52 kilograms) upwards to
Super Heavyweight (110 kilograms and over).
Although training is restricted to lunch.time
classes, at this stage, boys from Form 3 upwards
participate most days. Practice sessions were
organized for 8 boys at a time, in our well-equipped
Weight Room.
A team, from Forms 3 to 6. was formed to
compete in an Inler-School competition at West
Melbourne Gymnasium during second term.
Members 01 the team were John Stella, Mark Neal,
Oscar Havala, Vaughn Maiolla, Paul Callaghan:
the boys performed with a sportsmanlike attitude
and won the Overall Team event.
SPORTS MASTER'S COMMENT
The year has been very much alive and
rewarding. At the inter-school level, competition
has been keen and whole-heartedly undertaken.
The concept of doing one's best having its own
rewards, and winning not being the sale goal has
been in evidence. While I could fill this comment
with team placings in various sports, I would rather
record the strivings for the individual's personal
best for his team and for his schoot. This was
quite noticeable in the athletes' attitude to training,
competitions and the carnival recently, and was
noticeable right back to the hard work of swimmers
in the first weeks of the year. The lead-up
competitions to the main events in all sports, while
they allow coaches to see the tatent before them,
allow for the growth of team spirit, personal
improvement and participating by anyone
interested in the particular sport. These latter aims
are really what inter-school sport is about.
There have been a large number of sports
sponsored by the school and Old Boys' clubs, run
by teachers in the school and aided by parents
and others. A boy can represent his school in these
various ways in some eight sports.
Within the school, sports days have been
conducted at three levels: Forms I and II, Forms III
and IV and Form V and VI. Each has been tailored
for the groups and worked in a quite satisfactory
way. Most noteworthy innovations were: the
arranging of competitions and teams by the boys
themselves, involving the picking of teams and
organization of officials; the competition ran as
above and onducted with St. Bernard's and North
Melbourne as detailed elsewhere. The Forms V and
VI PENSA organization showed that competition
is an integral part of a boy's motivation and also,
hopefully, will be a means of establishing contacts
with boys from other schools in the latter paths of
life.
The importance of exercise and physical fitness
as a part of a boy's make-up and education has
been highlighted by the newly increased physical
education staff. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Dulke have not
only catered for each class with more ease than
previously, but have interested groups by
lunchtime competitions in vQlleyball, European
handball, soccer and weight-lifting.
From my point of view, the whOle program has
come about by the dedication and willingness of
the staff to actively involve themselves in their
various areas of coaching, umpiring, refereeing
and supervision.

PARADE WINS THE JUNIOR CUP IN THE A.C.C.
ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
With the loss of three Victorian representatives
from the 1967 team. Parade was anticipating a de.-
cline for a few years while our talents were rebuill.
But the Under 16 and Under 15 group. with placings
no worse than fourth, comfortably won the Junior
Cup by 23 points. The whole team was placed
fourth behind a once more successful North Melborne.
North Melbourne's success was led by ils
indomitable Senior team.
The endeavour of the team was evident in that
more than half the competilors improved their
previous best performances, and the spirit of
competition of our team was keen, under the
captaincy of JOHN DINAN and Vice-Captain
MARK PHELAN.
The team results were:

THE OLD PARADIANS' UNDER 14 FOOTBALL 1977
Our boys had a very successful year and finished
Runners-up in the B. Grade Final in the P.D.J.F.A.
played at the Preston V.F.A. ground. While some of
us may have been a lillie disappointed in not
winning the elusive flag, we congratulate Keon
Park Youth Club on their win. They defeated us
four times during the year and were the only team
to defeat us. Early in the year we struggled to
field a team, but thanks are due to Brother Aron
for his fine recruiting effort. Attendance at training
during the long, wet winter was good and a number
of functions were organized for training nights
including a pie and film night at the Collingwood
club rooms-
ANTHONY CANAVAN, MIKE DEYLEN and
ANTHONY LOTON were chosen to play in a
combined P.D.J.F.A. U14 side against the Nunawading
league. ANTHONY CANAVAN was also
chosen to represent our team in the P.D.J.F.A. side
which toured and played in Queensland.
The tremendous team spirit and dedication of
the boys was very pleasing and a wonderful
reflection on the College. Special thanks to
JIM SHANAHAN the team manager, BROTHER
ARON our runner, DES FLYNN the goal umpire and
JOHN PICONE, MARTIN BRENNAN and CLAUDE
HOWARD for their support. Thanks also to the
mothers who ran the stall, made the final's banner
and gave support all year.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION REPORT
The reaction by students to Physical Education
this year has been mixed. Those students,
particuiarly in Forms I &11,who were willing to try
new activities, that they had previously not
encountered, have gained both self-confidence
and a sense of satisfaction in developing new
skills. In future it is hoped that this attitude towards
Physical Education will carry over into higher
forms and later adult life.
We would like to thank students for their
co-operation with regard to the lending out of
equipment at lunchtime. Although the procedure
for borrowing equipment may have been a hassle,
it has assured us of equipment to loan out next
year. Money that would otherwise have been spent
in replacing lost equipment can now be used for
developing new activities.
The inclusion of Mr. Dulke to the Parade Staff
has meant that the Physical Education department
can function more efficiently and effectively.
Classes can now be divided in half so that -
(i) students can participate in all activities all of
the time instead of having to wait for a turn:
(ii) more efficient use can be made of various
playing surfaces;
(iii) a greater number of individual, duai and team
games can be introduced and
(iv) students can receive more personalized
instruction in developing new skills.
The Physical Education department has
attempted to steer clear of the more traditional
games in preference to introducing activities
which are both new and challenging for the studen!'
These include - Volleyball, Hockey, Baseball,
Weightlifting, Basketball, Wrestling, European
handball, Badminton, Gymnastics and Soccer.
Activities which will hopefully occupy a place in
A number of our students have done very well in
sporting activities outside the school.
ANDREW & CHRISTOPHER FENECH were both
selected in the Victorian U16 Water Polo Team
which competed in the Australian Championships
in Hobart earlier this year.
JOSEPH ROSARIO - a year g student showed
outstanding potential when he was runner-up in
the Australian U14 Table Tennis Championship.
In football, TERRY TWOMEY, playinq for Heidelberp
won the BEST & FAIREST AWARD in the
Under 14 section of the Diamond Vallev League.
PETER WOOD playing for Watsonia won the Under
16 award in the same League.
Two other students JAIMIE KENNEDY and PAUL
MORAN shared the award for the outstanding
player in the C.Y.M.S. basketball competition in
the U16 division.
Our conoratulations to these boys who have
done so well.
the curriculum next year include -
(1) Waterpolo; (2) Octopush (underwater hockey);
(3) Skin-diving; (4) Archery; i5) Kayaking and
Canoeing; (6) Orienteering, Camping, hiking;
(7) Lacrosse & Tennis; (8) Trampolining.
The Physical Education course is structured so
that at the completion of the student's fifth year
he will have covered ail of the above.
This year a number of lunch-time competitions
were run. The degree of enthusiasm and
participation was pleasing; however, it is hoped
next year that students will take a greater
responsibility in the area of organizing and running
the competitions.
The year 1978 already looks very promising with
the building if six Canadian canoes and six
touring kayaks at the end of this year, and possible
improvements to our weight-lifting room.
Parade basketball teams have had great success
over the year and this success is directly related
to the amount of training they have put in NEXT
YEAR WE WOULD LIKE TO FORM OTHER SUCH
CLUBS AND THEREBY MAKE full use of our
tremendous facilities. (P.S. Old Paradians'
Voileybali Team is lookinp for vounn players!).
To conclude. students should realiz.e that our
main aim - TO PROMOTE A BELIEF IN THE
VALUE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AS AN
ESSENTIAL PART OF HEALTHY LIVING.

GREG NANCE:
A member of the First XVIII in 1976 and again in
1977, Greg Nance suffered a brain haemorrhage at
training early in the season. After a skipping
exercise, Greg complained of not feelinQ well -
within five minutes he was paralysed down the
right side of his body. He was rushed to a doctor
and later transferred by ambulance to the Austin
Hospital where, after tests were conducted, it was
discovered he had suffered a brain haemorrhage.
He underwent surgery and the malfunction was
corrected. Greg's initial recovery was slow but he
is now well 0!1 the road to recovery.
Although his H.S.C. has been interrupted, this
year, he will be tackling his studies again next year.
One consoling aspect of Greg's illness was the
way in which everyone rallied around for Greg's
recovery. There is no doubt that it was prayer that
contributed greatly to Greg's steady improvement.
Members of the First XVIII got together and presented
Greg with a digital alarm clock radio. All
this no doubt showed how highly everyone esteems
Greg.
All at Parade wish him every success in 1978 and
in the future. Hopefully the road to complete
recovery will not bA too far away.

THE J. S. NASH
LIBRARY
We are happy to present the first annual Library
Report of Parade College: happy because the
word "tirst" indicates that there should be many
more to come; happy because the "first" is always
unique; happy because the report is issued with
pnde and a sense of achievement.
The amalgamation of the stock built up over
years with that added during 1976 has resulted in
body of reference of such richness and. quality
that a succession of visitors has commented with
surprise and sometimes with envy that a secondary
school library should be stocked, not only so
generously but with such discrimination. In both
que-iity and quantity the stock is remarkable. There
are approximately 24,000 volumes, amongst which
are references and leisure reading to satisfy not
only academic requirements but also the general
needs of the majority.
The A - V section is growinQ in strength and
capacity and will become an integral part of the I
whole complex when space permits. The periodi.
cal department remains weak, mainly because its
d.evelopment has been postponed, since priorities
have demanded processing rather than the
acquisition of new material. Periodicals are one of
the most valuable sections of a library and this
department will be strengthened next year. As it
is, we subscribe to a fair range of dailies, weeklies
and monthlies, such as The Economist, The Nationa,'
Times, The Financial Revew, The Bulletin,
Choice, government publications (including
Hansard) and to the three morning papers in
addition to the Sydney Morning Herald and Ihe
Canberra Times.
The Dewey Decimal System h.as been adopted
for classification. being well suited to and educaional
library and in common use. Students who
accustom themselves to using this library should
be well.equipped to use libraries in tertiary or
other institutions in future years, so that this centre
helps in the present and trains for the future at the
same time. It is essential here that sound uni.
versally accepted methods and techniqu~s be
introduced; this is our aim.
So far over 6,000 books have been classified
since the beginning of this year, which means that
two-thirds of the task is still to be completed. Form
VI have had complete use of resources since
February, including borrowing facilities of up to
four hooks a day. General use and borrowing for
all have been available since July 7th. Classes and
individuals use the library all day, sometimes as
many as four classes and individual groups being
accommodated at the one time. During lunch
recess an average of 100-150 boys are regular
users and the daily borroing turnover is approximately
150 books.
Extra-curricular activities such as chess, storymaking,
music recitals given by students, kitemaking
demonstrations are creating a real community
centre and it is hoped that all who are at
Parade will involve themselves in the future more
and more, so that the library will become a really
vital Resources Centre for all.
The vision of Brother McCarthy is being realised
wilh the active help and valuable practical suport
of Brother Wright and all associated Ihis year with
Library development.
Ruby Tout,
Librarian.
"IT'S
ACADEMIC"
Once again Parade entered a team in the
H.S:V.7 Programme "It's Academic". The leam
ChriS Loton (Captain), Terry Dwyer, Alex Morelli,
and Des Croke were chosen from about twenty
year 10 students who applied to join the team
The boys practised for several weeks at lunchtimes
and after school before they appeared
before the cameras. They were assisted in their
training by Mr. J. Jennings and by Maurice Ryan,
one of last year's school Vice-Captains, who had
been a member of the Parade "It's Academic"
team which made the State Final two years ago.
The boys acqUitted themselves well if a little
nervously, winning their first heat co~fortably In
their second round match, however, they were'
beaten by a team from Albert Park High.
Congratulations to the team for their efforts
and thanks to Mr. Jennings and Maurice Rya~ for
their time and help.
PUBLIC
SPEAKING
This year, Rostrum Public Speaking competition
attracted over 220 enlries. Christopher Lee
(H.S.C.) was the college representative, Having
won a Regional Final and then a Metropolitan Final,
he earned the chance to participate In the
Victorian Final. First prize in this final was S50 and
a set of "World Book" dictionaries.
A student from Echuca performed very well
and came first; Christopher performed very
creditably and was placed 3rd, his consolation
prize being 510.00 The Echuca entrant came 3rd
in the National Final. If he had performed as weli
on the night of the National Final as on that of
the State final, Chris was of the opinion thai he
might have won it. The standard of the Naronal
final this year was lower than that of last year's
finai (in Christopher's opinion).
Christopher reported that it was disappointing
to see so few Paradians in the contest. The
experience is very worthwhile and the prizes are
quite encouraging. It is hoped we will have more
representatives in the next contest.

"THE KING & I"
Following the success of Parade and C.L.C.
production of "Fiddler on the Roof: in 1976, many
feared that "The King & I" would be a disappointment,
in the dramatic and musical sense. Few
people anticipated the professional approach, the
determination of the cast and the polish of their
performances. Mrs. Connie Casey, Mr. Kevin
Byrnes, Mrs. Margaret Spain and Miss Eve Taylor
received only a small portion of the praise and
gratitude that was truly theirs.
Wednesday afternoons, Saturday nights and
precious Sundays we rehearsed solidly and
consistently. Four performances from 10th to 17th
of September revealed an astonishingly high
standard of production, one which is to be praised
for the unity, work and determination of the
students. The dominating King was played by
PAUL DAWSON, supported by a strong Prime
Minister in PAUL MITCHELL, and PAUL GLEESON
who played his role as the Prince aptly. EMILIO
BEDIN (Lien Tha) improved exceptionally, and
Anna's son, Louis, was perfectly depicted by
CHRIS LEE. STEPHEN GARRARD was outstanding
in his role as the Englishman, Sir Edward Ramsay,
and MARK MORATH as the captain proved to have
definite potential for the future. MICHAEL HALLAY,
TONY O'SHEA and ANTHONY McCLUSKEY
played their minor roles with enthusiasm and
fervour.
Thanks are due to Brothers Chapman. Lockwood
and Jones for their untiring efforts in transport
and backstage co~ordination.
'The King & I' is one of those rare plays that
has always remained warm in the heart of the
public-from 10th to 17th of September the
students of Parade and C.L.C. brought that
warmth to light.
Among the girls who participated so well in this
production were MARITA BYRNES. who played
the role of Anna. KATHIE HEDGER. DEBBIE
GUEST. JACKSON GETSON. SUE McCLEMENTS,
ANITA EGAN. CLAIRE PURCELL, MICHELLE
BIBBY and JOANNE HICKEY.

YEAR 9 CAMP:
During October this year, ail year 9 students
participated in a camp at Fraser National Park
on Eildon Weir. The camp, organized by Brother
Wright, Mr. Dulke and Mr. Hickey was organized
to give the students an opportunity to experience
a period of communal living and co-operation,
and to participate in a number of outdoor activities.
Such activities included orienteering, kayaking,
nature walks and study, body-painting, snipehunting
and cooking. Co-eperation was needed in
erecting the eight-man tents, arranging sleeping
areas In the tents, collecting firewood and cooking
meals. Between the organized activities, there was
plenty of spare time in which the boys could swim
in the lake or use the kayaks, once they had been
taught the safety procedures, or there were the
hills which scrrounded the camp site. These hills
abounded in wild-life, especially kangaroos, and
were ideal for bush-walking. The highlight of the
camp was undoubtedly the snipe-hunt, although
none of the boys was successful. The camp was
judged successful by both boys and staff. This
success was due to the magnificent surroundings
in which the camp was held and the weather was
very favourable. A strong spirit of co-operaton
grew up between the boys ar.d the teachers, who
came to know one another a lot better. SJecial
thanks go to Brother Wright. w:thout whose help
we would never have {tu:..ected the marquee.

THE CENTRAL AUSTRALIAN
TRIP
ON TOP OF AYER'S
ROCK
The trip began with a touching, tearful
(sometimes joyful) departure by the tOUrist.
Amongst the clamour there could be heard
muttering of "What a man", or "Look at him, Lois"
as the bus drove off through the storm towards
the airport. We took off (in a plane) at approx.
9.35 p.m. and arrived in Adelaide at 10:05, Central
Standard Time. We then took off for Alice Springs
International (?) Airport. We arrived at 12.18 a.m,
but had to wait for about an hour at our camp site
for our sleeping quarters (penthouse tents) to
arrive. However, because they were so late in
arriving it was decided by General Consensus
(Br, Swaney) to sleep beneath the shelter of the
stars.
During our stay at Allee Springs we travelled 0,",
many day tours including a trip to a camel farm
and Stanley's Chasm - a majestic split in a
mountain. We then saw another majestic split in
a mountain (as a matter of fact it was even mora
majestic) called Simpson's Gap where we al~o
observed the amazing wildlife, a six inch whip
snake. However, we failed to see any "wabbalies".
On Wednesday we deflated our portable
penthouse tents and were on our way south to
Ayer's Rock, a mere 426 km away. En route to
Ayer's Rock we stopped at Mt. Ebenezer where
some boys purchased Aboriginal artifacts. We
also stooped at Curtain Springs. We were very
disappoined that we were unable to see any
curtain springs in their natural state.
Eventually we arrived at Ayer's Rock, known to
the locals as 'Uluru', where we pitched our tents.
In the evening we viewed the chanqing colours of
Ayer's Rock from 'Sunset Strip'. Next day we
climbed the Rock, drinking like John Waynes from
the water holes on the ascent. As you could
imagine, the descent was slightly quicker than the
ascent. After our speedy descent we visited the
many caves at the base of the Rock.
Later in the afternoon we visited the Oloas where
we had twenty minutes to journey around the
thirty square miles of rock. On the return t,rip we
stole (illegally) vast amounts of wood. while our
Christian le",ders looked out for cars. By 9.30 we
had left the Lamping grounds. We travelled for
14 hours (a.m. the next morning) to our first bush
camp - congratulations to Pete the bus driver
stopping only for lunch and pit stops. We were
constantly entertained by the music of Ted Egan,
the local bush hero. His repertoire included such
songs as 'Uluru' and 'The Bloody Good Drinkers of
the Northern Territory'.
After breakfast on Saturday morning we
reloaded the bus and set off on our journey to
Coober Pedy, where we camped in a hole (an
underground cave). We toured an underground
home, saw a unique opal display and toured the
town. After lunch we went opal mining in an
opal-less cave.
After a well deserved shower. we went to Mass
in an underqround cave church. The only thing
they haven't got is a railway - but if they had one I'm
sure it would be underground. After tea a few of us
went to the pizza parlour for dinner accompanied
by Brother Coghlan. Mr. Cosgriff and. our
illustrious cultural leader, Mr. Joss. Thmgs were
very dull so our cultural leader livened up
proceedings by putting a Greek love song on the
juke box. He accompanied this with a dance and
was given the evil eye by the proprietor, a Mr.
G. PapodopolJlis. Billy fr~m the .Nullabor .
(an AborigInal) and his wife, befriended us In the
pizza parlour and as a result we once agam
found ourselves out on the street.
Next day we travelled via Kingoonya (where
we ate lunch consisting of dust and salad
sandwitches), Woomera, and Pimba where we
ran into 'Spud' Murphy, the local con-man, on our
way to Pt Augu~ta, which was not much to talk
about, let alone write about.
We arrived in Adelaide the next day where we
echoed didgeri-doo music through the streets,
much to the surprise of the inhabitants. We visited
the very impressive Festival of Arts Centre, and
drove around the town for some time before
driving into the Lofty Ranges to view the
soectacular city lights. That night we had a bush
camo on the side of the highway.
We rose earlv. 8.00 a.m •• to face the final day of
our tour. We drove into the spectacular 8ar~ssa
Valley where some of us bought bottles of Wine
(for our parents of courser. We had a tastv lunch of
steak cooked in wine, which was prepared bv
our cook, Anne. After lunch we were off aaain and
soon we were back in the Garden State which
was being watered at the time (ves. it was raining).
Somewhat saddened we arrived back at Parade
late in the evening of Tuesday the 24th,
50ecial thanks must go to the tour or!=janizer,
Mr. Joss. Br. Coqhlan. Mr. Cosgriff and Br. Swaney,
Extra special thanks to our driver Pete and our
cook, Anne, who served us loyally.

SIR BERNARD CALLINAN,
C.B.E., D.S.O., M.G.,
BC.E., DIP.T.R.P., F.I.E. AUST., F.R.A.P.1.
Sincere congratulations to Bernard, d:stinguished
Old Paradian and outstanding Catholic layman,
on his elevation to the Knighthood, for outstanding
community services, in the Queen's Birthday
Honours list. It is a most well deserved honour fcone
whO has gIven so freely of his talents and time
In the service of his country.
Bernard was educated at Christian Brothers'
College. Parade, at the famous "Bluestone Pile";
malrlculated in 1930 and proceeded 10 Melbourne
University to graduate B.C.E. in 1934. Since that
time his career has covered the widest possible
range of activities during which he has established
himself primarily as an engineer, but also made a
name for himself as a soldier, diplomat and author.
His career was interrupted by World War II in
which he served with distinction trom 1939-46
achieving the rank of Lt. Col. Highlighl of his Army
Service was as Commander of Sparrow Force, a
small unit which remained in Portuguese Timor
after the Japanese occupation, constantly harrassing
the invading force with guerilla tactics.
The withdrawal from Timor by the force led by
Col. Callinan was a masterly military exercise. His
war service earned for Bernard the 0.5.0. and M.C.
Two years after his discharge he was asked to
help re-form the C.M.F. He commanded a C.M.F.
BaHalion from 1948-51 and is now Honorary

Regiment.
His book "Independent Company" dealt with the
activities of Sparrow Force and was used as a
major source of information in the compilation of
the Official History of Ihe Timor War History. It was
translated into Portuguese and used in the training
of Portuguese Officers for guerilla warfare.
A post-graduate diploma in Town Planning
helped Bernard to build the firm, Gutteridge, Haskins
and Davey Ptv. ltd. into one of the largest
and most successful engineering consultancies in
Australia. He is Chairman and Managing Director
of the Company, but despite his heavy involvement
in the affairs of the Company, he still finds time
for much extra curricular activity.
He has been a Commissioner of the S.E.C. since

"THE ANGELUS"
AN OCTOBER DEVOTION
1977
The Angelus takes its name from the first two
words of the opening verse. It seems to have been
first popularised by the Franciscan Fathers in
the 13th Century, at the same time that this group
introduced the Christmas Crib,
It as said morning, mid-day and evening and
seems to have been linked with the watching of
sentries in the times when the Turks were menacing
Christian lands.
The bell was always rung when the prayer was
being said.
The ringing of the bell seems to have been to
recall the men on the watchtowers to their
vigilance. It consisted of a signal of 3 sels of 3
bells folioed by a large set of nine bells. this being
connected in Religion to the Three Persons in
One God,
The first phrase & response "The Angel
of the Lord .... " recall and honour the announce.
ment of the G09d News of the Incarnation of the
Son of God. Seeing Mary thus saluted and honoured
by the Angel, we greet her also with the
Hail Mary and ask her to pray for us sinners in life
and death.
The second versicle & response "Behold the
handmaid ..... " give us one of the few uttP.rances
of Mary recorded in Scripture. Her humility and
obedience are opposite to pride and disobedience
of sinful man. We salute Mary again & ask her to
intercede for us that we may become more like
her in fidelity to the Word of God.
The third versicle & response "And the
Word ... ," allow us to profess our faith in the Son
of God Made Man. With all Christians we rejoice
and adore the Divine Child. And again we greet
Mary in grateful remembrance of her great role in
the redemptive work of Jesus her Son.
"THE ANGELUS"
V, The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary:
R. And she conceived by the Holy Ghost,
'Hail Mary', etc.
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord:
R. Be it done to me according to Thy Word.
'Hail Mary', etc,
V. And the Word was made Flesh,
R. And dwelt amongst us. 'Hail Mary', etc.
V. Pray for us, 0 Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises
of Christ.
Let us pray.
Pour forth, we beseech Thee. 0 Lord Thy grace
into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of
Thy Son was made known by the message of an
Anoel, may by His Pass:on and Cross be brought
to the Glory of His Resurrection - through the
same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
MARY THE MOTHER OF GOD
••
"The Angelus, despite the passing of the
centuries, retains an unaltered value and intact
freshness. The value of contemplation on the
Mystery of the Incarnation. of the word of greeting
to the Virgin, and of resource to her merciful
intercession remain unchanged and, despite the
changed conditions of the people, there remains
unaltered the characteristic periods of the day _
morning, noon and evening - which mark the
periods of their activity and constitute an invitation
to pause in prayer" PIUS VI 2.2.74.

The arrangements for the saToon passengers
were excellent. Our cabins were neatly and most
conveniently prepared, each accommodating two
persons. Our meals were served up at the fol:owing
hours - breakfast 8.30; lunch 12; dinner 4, and
tea at 7 p.m. We had two stewards in waiting at
table, with a chief steward directing the whole.
At 4 o'clock we were summoned to dine for the
first time at sea. Each person now occupied a
particp1ar place at table. The rev. gentlemen were
altogether at one side and the Laics at the other,
All being seated and at work. one person was seen
to stand up and retire, soon after another, and then
the roars of laughter commenced, the person
enjoyinQ the sport most being sure to be the next
to wn. At last all were gone except a few veterans
of the ocean. who had all the dishes tJ themselves.
It was in this manner terrible sea-sickness first
made its aopearance amongst us.
FROM THE PAST:
Parade College was founded by Br. Ambrose
Treacy who sailed from Liverpool with three
other Brothers - Barnabas Geoghegan, Joseph
Lynch and Fursey Bodkin in the clipper ship
"Donald McKay"; the following letter was written
by Ambrose to his Superiors in Ireland a few days
after his arrival.
LAURA HOUSE,
124 NICHOLSON STREET, FITZROY,
MELBOURNE.
December 7th, 1868.
My Very Dear Br. Francis,
We have arrived safely after a voyage of 95 days
and a sail of 14,100 miles thro' the wild ocean. We
are all, thank God, in excellent health and spirits,
and are comfortably lodged in our temporary
residence. I have no doubt but the climate will
agree well with us. Our house is situated in a most
respectable and healthful locality being opposite
a public garden and is in every way suitable, the
rent is £108 per annum. I subjoin a hurried account
of the voyage for which I must claim your
indulgence.
We got on board the Donald McKay (a noble
vessel) on the 20th, where we were joined by seven
Priests for the Australian Mission. These with the
Brothers, six lay Gentlemen, three Ladies, the
Captain, First Officer and Doctor forming altogether
a party of twenty-three, occupied the saloon. All
the Laics were Protestants, except one, a Mr.
Barry, a Wexford gentleman, and of course a Catha.
lic, but they were most agreeable and respectful.
The Doctor, a loquacious old gent, and a wit to
boot, whose characteristic virtue was not sobriety,
occasioned a good deal of laughter at table.
It was fortunate we remained at anchor during
the night, for a dreadful ,storm suddenly arose,
inflicting serious injury at sea and about 20 wrecks
in the Mersey. The storm subsiding on the 25th we
immediately weighed anchor. Two steamers -
Brother Jonathan and Constitution - came to pull
"010 Donald" into the open sea. On leaving we had
a tine opportunity of seeing the extensive docks.
One of the steamers dropped off durinQ the
nioht. the other rather prematurely the followinq
morning, leaving us to encounter a fearfully heavy
sea. The ship's crew then commenced their part
of the performance. They kept pulling and hauling
mainsails, top-sails, stay-sails and all the sails,
keeping time by shouting out pull away - haul
away - heigh-ho - bully breeze, etc. etc., with
very little intermission until we reached Melbourne.
it appeared a frightful business to some of us at
first to see all their exploits during the day, but
far more so to hear them roaring and bawling and
running to and fro during the night. After a few days
we enjoyed the thing very well and often lent a hand
to pull the ropes.
They appeared to be a well disciplined lot of
fellows, numbering 47. The majority, including the
captain and officers, were Welshmen, the remainder
the representatives of different countries, and
among them a few Pats, whose light hearts and
native wit distinguished them from the dark-looking
and silent Englishmen or foreigners. France was
repres~nted in the person of our midshipman - a
little Jew - whose attempts to get up some capillary
attraction on his peculiar physique were almost
fruitless. But he was successful in a more useful
department, for he actually mastered the English
language by his own indefatigable efforts in less
th2.n two years, and can now speak it more grammatically
than any of his superior officers.
The sea continuing very rough, we were kept
rolling about for a few days in the Channel. During
this time the sea-sickness was doing its work on
the poor passengers. All. with few exceptions,
suffered little or much from it. Some of the priests
were fearfully bad. Of the Brothers, Brother Joseph
was entirely exempt from it. Brother Fursey experienced
only a little. Brother Barnabas had a severe
attack for over a week. In a short time it disappeared,
and he enjoyed excellent health during the
rest at the voyage. I had my own share of it. However,
I was not so bad as Brother Barnabas, nor
did it continue with me so long.
We were able, thank God, to have all our spiritual
exercises every day, and the adorable sacrifice of
the Mass. Holy Communion and confession every
week. The two cabins occupied by the Brothers
opening into one answered for the little oratory.
We had also our hours for secular study and
reading, with times of recreation interspersed,
durinQ which we had Qames of quoits, chess,
draughts. etc. This variety served to break the
monotony of the voyage and helped much to make
the days, and even weeks, appear very short. The
Priests and Laics led the way in ali the games. We
freely joined occasionally.

We fell in with the N.E. trades about 30 North.
During this time we went on at a brisk pace averag.
ing nearly t50 miles per day. After losing the
Trades we experienced for the first time the dreadful
heat of Torrid Zone. The Saloon passengers had
an awning over them each day on the quarter
deck, this sheltered them from the direct rays of
the sun. Notwithstanding, the heat was very oppressive.
It was nearly as great during the night
- a sheet or thin counterpane being sufficient
covering in bed. This promised to be the most
inconvenient part of the voyage, when, thank God,
we got a stiff breeze - a most unusual thing in
those regions - which brought us in flying colours
over the most critical part of the voyage. The
captain and others declared they never had such
favourable weather in this part before.
I shall never forget the gorgeous sunsets we
witnessed on the way, but particularly in the Tropics.
We often gazed on them with astonishment,
they certainly raised our thoughts from the sterry
and dread realities around, to the contemplation
of the glorious visions we hoped one day to behold
in the "Better Land". The enjoyment of which we
now more than ever laboured to altain. After these.
came a remarkable short twilight lasting only fifteen
or twenty minutes, then all was darkness until the
bright-faced moon made her appearance, when
the suface of the deep was lighted up most beautifully
again.
After Qetting "the lasf glimpse of Erin" (coast of
Wexford), the first sigh! of land we got was the
Island of Trinidad, which lies four or five hundred
miles east of Brazil. It appeared to be one great
mass of rock rising to a height of ten or fifteen
hundred feet above the sea, with a circumference
of six or eight miles. It is said to be inhabited only
by wild pigs and goats. About this place on coming
out from dinner one beautiful evening, the sea
being quite calm, we heard a report through the
ship, that a young whale was to be seen. It came
after and about the ship during the rest of the
evening giving us the finest opportunity of seeing it,
for every eight or ten minutes when it came up to
blow, a considerable part of its body was quite
visible. This was really a great treat to all. We saw
other whales at a distance at different times, and
some hideous looking fellows called black fish,
which came on one occasion in great numbers
towards the ship one would imagine to devour us
.,,11,' but lt1eY"Passed-quite harmlessly underneatth.
Nearly every day in the warm climates we saw
flocks of flying fish skimming over the surface of
the water for a short time.
After getting into the latitude of the Cape we fell
in with a variety of beautiful sea birds, which kept
with us till we camEl near Melbourne, such as the
cape pigeon and hen, the albatross. The outstretched
wings of the last mentioned measures
twelve or fourteen feet.
We passed the terrible Cape of Storms, of Thunders
and Lightnings, without, thank God, encountering
any of these dreadful phenomena. But jf we
did not, we got some ideas of what a rough sea
really is, having changed the peaceful waters of
the Atlantic for the boisterous Southern ocean.
It was now no new thinQ to see the foaming bil!ows
dashing right over the decks, prostrating any poor
fellow in the way af his full length. I must confess
we L:ncharitably laughed several times at one of
the saloon servants - a John Bull in every sense
of the word - who, on his way from the cook's
galley to the saloon, was sure on those days to get
into this double position, advancing at the same
time the plates and dishes in his hands from simple
proportion to multiplication at fractions.
Here it was we had the first gale of wind, which
commenced after a heavy night's rain, and blew
very hard during the day. We shall never forget the
evening we heard the Captain giving orders to have
all the sails taken in. There was something dismal
in the appearance of the ship now ploughing, with
her almost naked masts, into the valleys beneath.
But what we thought to be a dreadful storm the
Sailors only considered "a bit of wind". In those
latitudes the sea is never moderate in its appearance,
the swells being always very considerable,
sometimes literally awful to behold.
After getting to about 40 south the weather
became fearfully cold, so much so as to make us
have recourse to our cloaks and flannels to get up
a bit of heat. Several suffered from chilblains during
this time, and among them Brothers Fursey and
Barnabas. But the worst feature in this place was
the misty, foggy, damp kind of weather, which
lasted for some time, making things look as
miserable as could be. However, we had a fair
sprinkling of dry day, which we turned to the best
advantage by taKing all the exercise we could.
However, the nights, too were sometimes bright,
giving us an opportunity of viewing the beautiful
stars and constellations, among which we had the
pleasure of seeing the far-famed Southern Cross.
It appeared to us in an inverted position, the
extremities being marked by four brilliant stars,
enclosing hundreds of others invisible to the naked
eye. The 24th October was rather a remarkable day
with us. The wind came nearly north - a bad
point at time - and the sea fearfully unsettled.
After sitting down to dinner we heard a great
crash outside. The next moment one of the men ran
to tell the Captain the jib boom - a large beam
with three sails - was carried off. There was a
good deal of uproar during the remainder of the
evening in reefing the sails and preparing for the
battle with the breeze. The sea swept the decks in
grand style; some venturing too far got their nice
black coats well drenched, and others tumbled
when running from these unwelcome show.er
baths. Night came on and no improvement In th~
wild elements. Several persons thought of stopping
up. We commended ourselves and all to Her, the
"Star of the Sea" and retired. During the night,
after being awakened by a sudden lurch of the
vessel, we heard a fearful dash of sea over the
poop. I started up, expecting to find myself and
baggage afloat, .but I found .by.the light of a lamp
that it could not possibly reach us. There was,
however a river of water over our heads, moving
to and f;o at each motion of the vessel. This,
together with the noise of the sea dashing against
the sides and the howling of the wind through the
rigging, made it appear as if the ship were sinking;
indeed it was some time before I could bel eve the
contrary. This was the most terrifying sensation I
experienced during the voyage. By degrees the
water made its escape, and we found all things
pretty peaceable in the morning (Sunday) and the
ship's carpenter working a bulk of timber Into a
new boom, which was finished after a few days.
One evening, a short time after thIS, an accident
of a more serious nature occured. About a dozen
of us remained in the saloon after tea reading, etc.,
when suddenly we found ourselves envp.loped in
in smoke. The doors of the cabins ware immeadiately
thrown open. and in the one occupied by the
ladies we saw, wah amazement, some of the
drapery on fire. The Captain, with great presence
of mind, pulled the part on fire to the floor. Water
being at hand it was quenched immediately. Five
minutes longer and we were in fore one of the
greatest calamities that can occur at sea.

The solemnity of All Saints brought together
with its holy and joyful associations a great change
for the better in the weather. The passengers
assumed again their cheerfulness and gaiety, and
the fine decks of brave Donald appeared once
more like a fashionable suburban promenade. We
commenced to have many a good joke and laugh
now when we brought to mind the peculiar holds
our esteemed Morpheus had of you at home and
we at the same time several hours after breakfast.
Nothing worth noticing occurred until the 15th
November. Early that morning our attention was
attracted by what we at first considered to be a
cloud in the distant horizon. As the day advanced
it became more distinct, and soon the joyful news
of Land, Land, spread like wildfire through the
shio. It was indeed Land, and no other than the
long.wished-for Australian shore. which we at last
sighted after traversing over 14,000 miles of ocean,
and which now welcomed us by sending acr05S
the waves towards the ship a most pleasing and
odoriferous perfume. We enioyed as we went
along a grand view of the hills and woods of this
newest of the New Worlds, till we came in sight of
Cape Otway. when we signalled lor a pilot. That
gentleman was on board the next morning, bringing
with him some news~apers in which we saw
the arrival of the Donald McKay announced. He
guided us safely through Port Philip Heads, which
are only two miles apart, and we entered the
beautiful Bay enclosed by the Heads. At eight
o'clock p.m. we anchored, and so ended our tremendous
iourney. We remained on board that
niqht. and the followino morning, after reciting
"Tt='Deum" with grateful hearts, we took leave
of Old Donald, and drove to the Bishoo's Palace.
We were there most cordially welcomed and received
by the Vicar-General and Priests of the
City. In fact our arrival is considered by all grades
of the Catholic community, from the most humble
to the highest - as the greatest boon conferred on
Melbourne for many years. and therefore it is that
we are so highly-esteemed and favoured by all
classes in and around the city. We breakfasted
and dined several days after coming, at the Palace,
and even got the most honourable places at table
on these occasions. After all this we do not. thank
God, feel in any way elated. but, on the contrary,
are more fearful and diffident of ourselves. Placing
all our confidence and strength in our Divine
Master we cen look upon all things else but THAT
for which we came as triflinq and unimportant.
BROTHER T. LOCKWOOD
Brother Lockwood had been teaching at Parade
College for three years when the news came of
his appointment to study in the United States of
America. He will be remembered at Parade as an
enthusiastic co-ordinator of the religious teaching;
as an inspirational teacher of senior Religion,
English and Politics; for his contribution to the
running of the College's games programme:
mostly for his friendly and approachable manner.
He was a deeply convinced Christian Brother;
this was apparent in his cheerful and optimistic
approach 10 life; by the trust that he placed in
and expected from the boys he taught.
He has gone to study Fundamenlal Catholic
Spirituality at the Institute of Man, Duquesne
University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is a three
year programme and already two other Christian
Brothers from Victoria are taking the same course.
The best wishes and oratitude of all at Parade
College go with Brother'Lockwood.
We visited all Catholic schools in thE'!city; the
boys are fine-looking and intelligent, but it is said
are most indolent. with a very low spirit of piety.
Melbourne is the nucleus of a great and grand
city, and will after some years be a second London
in extent. The streets are very wide and long, exhibiting
a good deal of modernism in the style of
the shops and in the architecture of the public
buildings, which throw it much in advance of many
of the cities of the old continent. But, unfortunately,
religion and morals are at a very low standard,
notwithstanding, we hav~ any number of religions
and churches and even open-air preaching.
With warmest love, in which the Brothers
cordially unite,
am, Your ever affectionate Brother,
AMBROSE TREACY.

and Form 2 moved up the drive to occupy the
classrooms at Edmund Rice Juvenate and it was
hoped this move would allow that particular group
of boys a freer educational experience and a
change to develop a sense of leadership. B!1d at
the same time, perhaps have the opportumty to
observe at first hand 'life on the farm'. At the same
time the boys from the Juvenate became full-time
students at Parade and the interacion of these
boys has done much to stimulate interest in Drama
in the Senior forms. Together with Catholic
Ladies' College and SI. Monica's, Epping, our
boys have gained much benefit from their
experience in front of the footlights and behind
stage. Because space became a priority, Form
One boys were later to jOin Form 2 at E.R.C.
However, early this year, due to fire, we found
ourselves once again "all under the one roof" -
the wheel had turned full circle.
During Brother McCarthy's three-year period
of leadership we saw the introduction of the Art
Show, Learn-to-dance classes on Monday
afternoons in the Hall and the opening of the
J. S. Nash Library. Quietiy during this time, works
of art were hung in the corridors, basketball
courts were refurbished with the installation of
permanent backboards, we gained access to the
Juvenate swimming pool, the undercroft was
enclosed with artistic wrought iron fencing as a
security measure.
Cadets have been phased out. No ionger do we
hear the tramp of marching feet, the thump of rifle
butts smacking the parade ground turf or the
stentorian commands of the R.S.M. ringing clearly
across the plains. A pity, but. economically, once
the government withdrew the necessary military
support, it was no longer possible to support a
unit. With the Cadet Unit gone we also saw the
College band disintegrate. Fortunately, for those
interested in pursuing a musical hobby as
bandsmen, the Collegiate Band had been formed in
previous years and is still functioning.
The Walk-a-thon, introduced in 1975 has given
the students the opportunity of giving those less
fortunate than themselves some hope in their
lives. This activity, to date, has raised some
$22,000.00 - a Iruly magnificent efforl.
During the decade we have had the pleasure of
welcoming two Old Paradians on their elevation
to the full priesthood of the episcooacy: some
twenty.three on the occasion of their priestly
ordination, and twelve on the occasion of their
Final Profession as Christian Brothers. It is to be
hoped that in the next decade we will be blessed
to see a similar number of young men Qenerously
answering God's call to 'labour in the vineyard' in
the service of oth~rs as Priests and Brothers.
Although there will be many who read Ihese lines
who will say. "Why didn't he mention 'so and so'
or 'such and such"? there are two events I shall
not omit. The establishment of a Careers Centre
within the College, with the iale dearly loved
Alban Pisani as its first director. Alban took on
this onerous task in addition to his normal school
duties and established it on a sound foundation.
Then there was what most would consider the
highlight, not only of the decade, but of the
century, viz: the Centenary Celebrations. Mr.
Pisani was seconded from school duties to act
as Secretary-Co-ordinator of these celebrations
- thus ensuring their success. Every section of the
College played its part and conlributed to the
overall success.
In this, the final years of the decade, we are
under the leadership of Brother J. A. Wright and
already in his quiet, determined manner, he has
wrought changes that are aimed at making Parade
a better place for those who seek to prepare
themselves for their life's work. In the tradition of
the Brothers who have preceded him he is building
on the past with the knowledge of the present,
and iooking ahead to the future.
l! augurs well for the next decade.
AN APPRECIATION:
M. C. HICKEY.
When one has worked closely with another
person for a decade it is easy to take for granted
the tasks performed by that person, particularly if
they are performed with skill and a high degre" of
organization and dedication, and little or no fuss.
On reflecting on the work done lor Parade by
Mrs. Monica O'Neill, the Secretary to the Principal
over the past ten years, I am amazed at the number
of tasks she has undertaken and brought to
completion so willingly, indeed lovingly, and
expertly. Lovingly is the key word. No other
person could have handled half the tasks as our
'Man' has done so efficiently unless motivated
by love of Parade. Not only has she so ably
performed the many and varied tasks associated
with her position as the Headmaster's Secretary,
but she has also found or made time to perform
tasks for all members of staff and to attend to the
many and varied needs and items of detail
pertaining to the general welfare of students and
their parents. The latter will be appreciative of
of Mrs. O'Neill's untiring efforts to secure, among
other things, travel allowances for them.
At staff level she has contributed generously of
her skill and time. No job was too big or too small
for 'Man', be it the typing of a thesis or simply a
notice to read over the PA system. At Staff
Socials she has given us many enjoyable hours
of sing- along around the piano, particularly so
in our early years at Bundoora.
Giving, indeed, is her forte. Love has been
defined as "Giving: giving the best you have;
giving yourself". Monica O'Neill has certainly
give to all - students, parents and staff - at
Parade. She loves Parade.
This year she will retire as a member of staff.
I am certain we shall miss her friendliness, her
willingness to help all of us: pupils, teachers
and parents. Of one thing I am sure, she will
continue to love Parade. Let us make sure we
return that love and devotion by emulating her
and willingly giving of ourselves without having
to be asked.
Thank you, Mon, tor being you - and may God
bless you all the days of your life.
THE SONG OF PARADE
Old bluestone pile enshrin'd secure.
Through all our days in mem'ry's core.
Thy peerless past will e'er endure,
Our pledge hold fast tradition's store.
CHORUS:
Parade thy son in ev'ry year
May loyal service bring to thee
And victories hard won and dear
But not more loyal hearts than we
We'li defend the purple green and blue
We'li guard thy fame and unafraid
With hearts and courage high be true
Along the years Parade.

THE PARADE ART SHOW 1977
Spring flowers in the College colours wecomed
guests to the J. S. Nash Library at 7.30 p.m. on
Friday, September 23rd to the third Parade Ladies'
Auxiliary Art Show.
Soft music set the scene for the Committee
and friends to assemble and to enjoy sherries
and savouries whilst awaiting the arrival of the
guest of honour - Mr. Clifton Pugh, .who was to
open the Exhibition.
In the Library, several of Mr. Pugh's paintings
were displayed, and he commented briefly on
these, painted in Mexico and mainly depicting
people of the country on penitential pilgramages.
He seemed delighted that his Stations of the
Cross were on exhibition on the walls of the
Library and had been acquired by the school.
Mr. Pugh spoke warmly of the stain€d glass
window, installed and flood-lit, designed in
Chartres by Jacques Loire. He sensitively
described the artistry and dedication of the
French artists and artisans who J:erfected their
craft and to whom the art world is indebted always.
The happy crowd adjourned to the Parade
College Hall where pottery, jewellery, weaving.
glass-blowing, crafts and more than 500 paintings
were on display.
Mr. Pugh opened the Exhibition in a few
well.chosen words, and the 400 guests then
moved around to enjoy the exhibils and sip
champagne and nibble chicken, and absorb the
colour and form of the art displayed. It was an
exciting experience, and one could not but be
impressed by the number of young people
enthralled by the paintings and obviously keenly
interested in the general scene.
Each year the Parade Art Show has gone from
strength to strength, a great success for all
concerned. The 1977 Exhibition was a triumph for
the organizers - as usual!
"The Pyjama Game" is supposed to be a very
serious drama - a Problem Play, about Capital
and Labour. In fact the Pyjama Game is a very light,
bright and most satisfying musical comedy which,
takes place in a pyjama factory. The superintendent
(ANTHONY RYAN) tries desperately to attract
the attention of ¥iss Williams, while determined
that the factory and hiS job Will be a success. The
foreman (MA nHEW BARKER) is intent onwatching
the clock and his girls. He aiso injects a lot of
humour with memorable knife.throwing exhibitions
and fashion parading in pyjamas.
The boss (SHANE GREEN) is presented in a
comical way as a raving lunatic worried about the
wage increases the union are pressuring him for,
while unfortunately the union president (BERNARD
HEDGER) seems more interested in chasing
women than getting the raise. Not to be forgotten
are CHRIS RYAN, DAMIEN COSGRIFF, VINCENT
RYAN, MARTIN PENDRY and JOHN SMITH who
supported the play very ably despite their not so
large roles.
In all, nine students from Parade, in conjunction
with about fifty girls from 51. Monica's put in an
enormous effort into making the Pyjama Game a
magnificent success. Students from both Colleges
displayed great versatility and enthusiasm as they.
proceeded from song to song and dance to comedy
and drama. With an audience in excess of five
hundred for five consecutive nights it was obvious
that our efforts were not in vain but greatly
appreciated.
Unfortunately only four of the boys from Parade
were new to the drama field with St. Monica's. This
signifies an apparent lack of interest at Parade
for future productions. Let's hope this is not so
because I'm sure everybody involved in these
plays over the three years will assure you that it
is a very rewarding experience.

FATHER EBSWORTH:
Father W. Ebsworth, who has written a biography
of Archbishop Mannix, died three weeks before
the publication of the book. Father Ebsworth,
author of a number of books and articles on the
Catholic pioneers of Victoria, and Parish Priest of
SI. Peter's, Toorak, for 42 years, enjoyed the
unique distinction of being the only student of
Christian Brother's College, Victoria Parade, who
had been dux of the College for two years in
succession. This was in the year 1910 and 1911.
THE 1977 WALK-A-THON
The Ihird annual Walk-a-thon was held this year
in August, and a record amount of money was
raised. For the first time, H.S.C. students participated
in this event and helped to boost the amount,
which totalled $10,011.27.
The event was organized with great entthusiasm
by Brother Swaney who was assisted by a number
of the senior boys who formed the Walk-a-Ihon
Committee. The Committee consisted of JOHN
DINAN. MICHAEL BUSCH. BERNARD HEDGER,
TONY SMITH, RYAN VANDERWERT, PETER
BENTLEY, BRIAN BARNES, SHANE AITKEN,
MAURICE LANE. JAMES TUCKER, BERNARD
PETERS and CHRIS JACKSON. These boys were
assigned to various classrooms throughout the
school and it was their task to stir up enthusiasm
among the students and encourage them in their
efforts.
There were some outstanding efforts at fundraising
in this total of 510,000 - Michael Kent a
year 8 student raised 5250.00, and 8r. Aron raised
over $450.00, Room 18 in year 8 were the most
active, raising 51,111.00 by themselves
This was a most successful event and it gives the
boys an opportunity to work for other less fortunate
than themselves. Thanks go to all the boys who
participated in the event and to the parents.
families, friends and neighbours of the boys who
were the sponsors. and without whose help the
event would not have been possible.
During Oclober, the assembled school was
addressed by Fr. Brian Cosgriff an Old Paradian
priest who is at the moment working in the Missions
in Venezuela along with two other Melbourne
priests. Fr. M. Mulcahy and Fr. Vin Arlhur, another
Old Paradian. Extracts from Fr. Arthur's diary,
depicting the priest's life in Venezuela, appeared
recently in the Advocate.
Fr. Cosgriff is on leave at the moment, and
returned to his old school to speak to the students
about his missionary work and also to accept from
the school a cheque for 5500 to help his work
further. The money, which was raised during the
school's annual Walk-a-thon, was presented by
Year 8 student, Michael Kent, who raised over $200
himselt. Fr. Cosgriff, who was deeply moved by the
presentation, expressed his gratitude and told tne
students the money would be spent on new
catechetical films for his Spanish-speaking
parishioners.
Fr. Cosgriff's visit was an excellent opportunity
for boys of Parade to see that their hard-earned
money was greatly appreciated and put to good
use in helping, as Brother Wright expressed it,
"a modern-day missionary"
A few of the expressions of gratitude from some
of the Charities which were assisted from last
year's Walkathon.

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
This year's report is divided into halves 3S
the Principal, Rev. Br. C: M. Adams guided the
destiny of the College for the first half of the year
and reft his deputy to maintain a "holding"
operation for the second half. At this stage of
writing, Br. Adams is still in Rome at the Brothers'
International tertianship and will be back at the
helm in 1978.
In 1977, Parade Prepartory lost from the staff
Rev. Br. D. Walsh (transferred to SI. Kevin's
Junior School, Toorak) after a year of fine work in
Grade Five. We also lost the fine services of Mr.
Jack Foster after many years of loyal service as
Swimming Coach and Physical Education Teacher.
New to the Staff were Rev. Br. S. Lavery (Fifth
Grade) from SI. Joseph's, Geelong, Mr. Gerard
Sholly for the 2nd and 3rl terms and Mr. Ray Fitt
who took on the work of Physical Education,
Sport, and Arts and Crafts. Mrs. G. Vermont also
gained an assistant in the Library - Miss
F. Laurie.
Many improvements took place during the year.
The Secondary classrooms were carpeted, new
blackboards and notice boards were erected in the
rooms and mobile air conditioners were installed
in the Primary class rOoms. Unfortunately, we
were not able to proceed with the new primary-arttuck.shop
complex as no funds were forthcoming
from the Commonwealth for 1977. There is reason
for hope in this mailer - perhaps in 1978.
I hope parents realise how much interest and
concern the Staff of Parade Preparatory take in all
the boys here. Very seldom have I been associated
with such dedicated people. This is so necessary
for thebuilding up of a school community which,
I believe is very strong here. What makes this
more important is the lack of priests, many of
whom would wish to visit the school, but because
of parish commitments, cannot do so. The school
endeavours to inculate Christian Principles with
the secular pursuits. Our pupils are encouraged
to assist worthwhile communal causes. This year, ,
over sixty of our Forms One and Two boys helped
in the door-knock appeal for the Freedom from
Hunger Campaign. Also the boys of all the classes
took part in raising funds for the Association for
Deserted Children (V.A.D.C.) and raised the
splendid amount of $1800. Our mission effort has
again been generous. The Columban Fathers
gained $1000 through the efforts of the boys. The
Primary classes aided the Bangladesh Appeal
very !=Ienerously.
In Sport, Parade took part in many branches -
Swimminp. Cricket, Basketball, Tennis, Football
and Athletics - including Cross Country running.
If premierships are the only measure of success,
then we were partially successful - if, taking
part; striving one's best; being loyal are the
measures-then we were very successful, as most
boys strove to perform as well as they could when
representing their school. We ask no more. Many
thanks to Mr. I. Bibby for his organising of most
sparling activities. Thanks also to Mr. W. Bollriell,
Mr. G. Carter, Mr. R. Fill and Br. S. Lavery for their
work with Cricket and Football teams. To Miss
P. Rooney and Br. T. Giles, the basketball coaches,
a spe:i

FORM 2 GREEN CLASS NOTES
The first term commenced with 46 boys in the
class. There were no boys new to the College this
year. so we found we had the same old faces
around us, with just a few newcomers from Form 2
Blue. For some mysterious reason, it had been
thought wiser to make some changes, and a small
number gained the distinction of joining our class.
When teachers began to appear in the classroom,
we found there were no surprises there, either.
Br, Adams took us for Maths and Biblical studies.
Br. Duckworth continued to unfold Roman history
~o us in Latin periods, Mr. Bibby had us conversing
In French and working miracles in Science and
Mr. Bottriell, our Class Master, tried to improve
our Christianity in Religion periods, improve our
dreadful spoken and written English, and give us
a better sense of direction in Geography. Mr.
Carter visited us for periods on Henry VIII, Elizabeth
I and other interesting and not.so-interesting
people. and finally, Mr. Fitt arrived to take us for
Physical Education, Sport and Art and Craft. At
last, a new tace! Art and Craft began to take on
a new look, and soon, from a huge collection of
timber, coffee tables and other articles at furniture
began to emerge. Despite certain rude remarks
made about our "timber yard" and "junk heap"
school room, we really enjoyed the Craft periods,
and some of the completed work received high
praise. When we visited the Library, we found
Mrs. Vernon had acquired an assistant in Miss
Laurie, and we had discovered another new face.
The term passed quickly, with plenty of activity
outside the classroom. Swimming, cricket athletics,
tennis, basketball and football all h~d
representatives from our class. Our College athletics
meetin~ was held in the first term, in an
effort fo avoid the unsettled weather in term 3 and
the day was quite successful with Treacy finar'ly
winning the 1977 trophy. Our swimmers trained
well in the mornings, ate a hasty but large breakfast
and were often in trouble for not eating it quickly
enough! Indigestion may have been one of the
reasons why we were not quite good enough to
win the A.C.C. Sports! Several of our class were
members of the Under 14 Cricket Team which WOI'\
the premiership this year. Tim Donohue was
caotain and received hi9h praise for the way he
guided the,team on the field.
The Annual Camp was held in Term I this year
and our class went to Tallangatta on the Murray
River for a week at the beginning of May. The
weather was in our favour and the camp proved
to be a great success. In the comfort of the Presbyterian
Conference Centre, once the hospital
for the old township of Tallangatta, WA slept in
comfortable beds, ate enormous quantities of
delicious food and enjoyed the many recreational
facilities at the Centre. We are now grateful to Rev
Max Lonsdale, the manaper, and to the staff who
looked after us so well. One day. we were conscripted
to run up One Tree Hill, a near-vertical
slope at the rear of the Centre. After being toid by
Mr. Fitt. Mr, O'Halioran, Mr. Given and Mr. Bottriell
how beneficial it was for our fitness and health
we completed the run, closely watched by our
supervisors - from the bottom of the hill!
On Wednesday, we went for a hike in the bush
which was to take (so we were told) about two
hours. Mr. Fill, quite accidently, managed to get
one group home in that time, but we have never
been told why another ~roup including the other
three supervisors, took four hours to return, Stories
of stopping to admire nature, and checking areas
for lost students just didn't sound convincing.
A visit to Beechworth, and an inspection of the
Dartmouth Dam were both enjoyable and educational,
and finally, before coming home. we
visited a trout farm and the Hume Weir. Holidays
commenced when we came home. so we had all
recovered by the opening of school for Term 2.
Br. Adams departed for Rome on Juiy 14th, and
Mr. Shoily joined the staff to teach us Geography
for two periods each week. Mr. BaUriell 'retired'
from Geograohy but re-appeared at Maths oeriods
and Biblical Studies. Mr. Shoily takes an active
part in our Sports afternoons together with Mr.
Carter and Mr. Fill. Football was our main interest
in Term 2 outside the classroom, with basketball
and tennis also beinq played. Several of our class
represented the Coilege in the Under 14 footbail
team which finished runners-up to Sunbury. This
was the strongest Under 14 side the Coilege has
fielded, and we were happy to have so many of our
class included in it.
Now we are in the third term, and our final year
at Alphington seems to have gone very quickly.
We are grateful to ail our Teachers for their help
and hope they wiil make a quick and complete
recovery from the effects of teaching us, during
the Christmas holidays,
Form 2 Green.
FORM 2 BLUE CLASS
NOTES
This year has been very eventful for Form Two
Blue, with many excursions and outings through
the year.
Mr. Bibby:
Our class teacher Mr. Bibby, once again took
us for French, we all love to learn the language,
and enjoy it very much, especially when he is the
teacher. He is a good teacher, gives us plenty of
exams, and hates to crack a jake now and again.
Some of the events that happened through
the year were:
The Swimming
Carnivals:
One of our class mates, Rod Byrne, was good
enou'gh to make captain of the squad. Other
members were M. Chester, A. O'Halloran, P. Tasca,
D. Buttifant, J, Bibby, L. Hewatt, M, Prenderaast
and E, Flynn. Most of the carnivals we entered in
were held at Olympic Pool. We were very successful
in the C.S.S.A. Carnival. It was a great team
effort and we came out with two shields.
Annual
Camp:
During the year, the Form Two Boys went to
Taliangatta for the camp, We left on May 2nd and
went by train, then by bus to a luxurious old
hospital, which had such facilities as pool tables,
table tennis table and a picturesque view from One
Tree Hill which was at the back of the hospital.
The Camp involved a visit to 8eechworth, Albury,
Wodonga and also to the Dartmouth Dam Project.
We also went for a five mile hike. Before lana it
was over and we returned home on May 6th.i"m
sure everyone agreed that it was an enjoyable
camp,
Chinese
Exhibition:
In the second term, we went to the Cultural
Centre where we saw hundreds of ancient tools,
pots, plates and ornaments. This was an educational
outing and it was also successful.

Speech and Drama Night:
Our Speech and Drama Night was one of the
main highlights of the second term. Form Two Blue
presented a play called "Too Much", which was
about a student who drove the teachers out of their
minds. (Pure fiction of course). D. Cook, J. Mc.
Donald and P. Zorzi from our form helped render
a guitar item. and the Two Blue choir sang "Surrey
With the Fringe on top" and "We had joy, we had
fun".
Sports:
Nearly all the Form Two Blue boys represented
thp. College in the various inter-school sports
through the year. It was a very successful year,
with the Under 14's being runners-up in the football,
and Premiers in the cricket.
FORM I GREEN CLASS NOTES
Camp to Swan Hill:
The camp started at 10.45 when our lrain to
Swan Hill left Spencer Street station. We arrived
at Swan Hill 3V2 hours later. During our stay there
we went on quite a few excursions namely the
Pioneeer Settlement at night as weil as in the day
a rotary Dairy, the pheasant farm, the Muiool '
shearing shed, a vineyard and a winery.
The camp went for 6 days and many thanks must
be given to Mr. Bibby and Mr. Carter for organizing
the tri~ and to Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. Hogg
Mr. Griffiths, Mr. Treppo and Mr. Jones for coming
along and heiping the camp to be more enjoyabie
for us.
D. Jackson, I Green.
The Museum:
We went to the museum at the beginning of third
term and it was very interesting. When we arrived
we went straight to the aboriginal section and a
lady gave us a talk on what the aboriginals eat and
how they hunt. Then we went to a corridor which
had all difterent fossilized fish. We went to a hall
that showed guns dating back to the 1890's. The
last hall we went to had various animals in it, the
longest was a big, fat python.
B. Matisi, I Green.
Chinese
Exhibition:
One other excursion Form I went on was to a
Chinese Exhibition. In the Chinese museum there
were different tools, weapons, a jade suit, and other
relics of the Chinese people.
H. Hatton, I Green.
Westgate
Bridge:
.In the second term our class went to the Westgate
Bridge. This was a big day for most of us, we
had heard and seen about this bridge construction
and were very anxious to get there. When we
finally got there we saw a fantastic model of the
Westgate Bridge construction worth $6,000. We
had a look at the actual plans and the materials
they are using to construct it. Every measure is
planned in the bridge after the accident a few years
ago. Overall it was a pleasant and interesting visit.
Mrs. Porter from the Milk Board:
J. Barker, I Green.
Mrs. Porter, a representative from the Dairy
Produce Board, came to talk on what sort us food
was good for us. It was most educational and very
enjoyable.
D. Griffiths, Form I Green.
A visit from the Aboriginals:
. I fou~dour visit from the aboriginals the most
Interestmg of all our excursions or visits from other
p~ople.Some of the other visits were: A representative
fr?m the Milk Board and a talk on a boarding
school In ~anglad_esh. The visit from the aboriginals
was most Interesting because we saw a film of an
aboriginal tribe using tribal laws etc. and we
talked about them. Then two aboriginals did a few
dances. After that they played the didgeridoo and
the clicking sticks. To finish it all off they said
good-bye to us in their aboriginal language.
Westgate Bridge Excursion:
D. Flynn, I Green.
We went to the Westgate Bridge in the 2nd term
to see what it was really like. First we were taken
to see a model of the bridge which was very well
designed.
After that we boarded the bus and went to the
top. We looked over the other side and couid see
the city, over the other side we saw Newport Power
Station. We then went to the toll gates and saw
many new machines, such as a machine which
would photograph the wheels and we saw the
money machine, where you put your money in a
slot and it falls into the machine.
the best excursion
Missions:
1 must say it was
I have been on.
M. BOlger, Form I Green.
Our class is a regular contributor to the missions
and we hope to keep up the high standard set by
former FORM ONE classes. Some of the class
assisted at the "Freedom from Hunger" doorknock
appeal and also in collecting sponsors for the
G.A.MA appeal for deserted children.
Noteworthy personalities of our class are Paul
(Duck) O'Donnell, Brian (Kiwi) Childs, The Noisy
Gang (Justin Barker, Edmar Stuyfbergen, Daniel
Hogg) the shy one (Chris O'Halioran), The Early
Birds (Danny Pratt, Danny Flynn and Darren
Wharton).
INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS' BASKETBALL
We had enough boys during the year to form
9 teams for the three terms. On the Saturday
mornings, we endeavoured to offer alternative
sports to cricket and football and many boys took
the opportunity to play basketball for the school.
Several teams played in the finals which were
notable achievements, for the boys were always
keen to perform as well as possible. All the matches
were played on true surfaces, but since our courts
are asphalt, better skiils took longer to develop.
It was good to see improvements in team work
from the boys who started playing last year,
particularly Anthony Pertile, Kevin Meath, Adrian
Kontos, Dino Lorenzin and Damien Charles, and
those who started this year, John Dundovich,
Paul Murphy, Mark Csar, Andrius Lipsys and
Grant Males. I wish to thank all parents who
provided transport to the match venues throughout
the year, particularly Mrs. Males who was our
representative on the scoreboard, Mrs. Csar,
Mr. Meath and Mr. Kontos.

GRADE 6 GREEN CLASS NOTES
Environmental
Studies:
Many interesting kilometres were covered on
road and paper in our studies this year. At 9.15
every Tuesday during Second Term groups of cars
left Parade Prep. bound for Gadsdens, Pure Pak,
Brunswick Tech., Evans Bros. and Newell or Carlton
and United Breweries.
Typical 6 Green Day:
Before school some boys have time to do Level
Spelling.
8.54 Teachers scurry around to get their classes
assembled as we line up to hear the news
of what we have done right or wrong from
Brother Duckworth.
8.50 Words in Action is attacked with great
vigour and homework is corrected.
9.25 Everyone learns tables the new exciting
way. "Beat the Guiness Book of Records"
and say them in less than 10 seconds. Then
we do normal maths or our S.R.A. where
long queues of ambitious boys form around
the room to have their individual work
corrected.
10.05 It's a quiet rush over to the library to get
the best books and a quiet relaxing reading
period with Mrs. Vermont and Miss Laurie.
10.45 The bell sounds and the tuck-shop opens
for business. The playground is filled with
noisy boys as they play volley bail, basketball
and down-ball.
11.05 Legs going round like pumping pistons of
a tractor as we jog round the ovals for Mr.
Fitt (our P.T. teacher). Voices screaming
as we sing for Mrs. Bibby.
11.45 In religion we saw a film called "The Ten
Commandments" which took 2 days to
show. Also we dressed up as people from
the Bibie and Miss Rooney video-taped us.
12.25 Lunch, and it's down to the ovals for 6
Green. Some boys play "King", others
cricket or football. A few nature enthusiasts
spend their time collecting lizards and baby
ducklings or watching a cockatoo fly over.
1.10 Everyone comes in hot and sweaty. Reading
starts with a trample of feet as leaders collect
the books for different groups. One
group goes to Mrs. Geary, another to Miss
Rooney and the rest work diligently.
1.50 Brother Lavery makes the scene with recorder
and after hopping into the room
turns it into a music hall where boys play
tenor, treble and descant recorders.
2.30 Geography holds our interest with slides of
Miss Rooney's travels around the world.
Billy cart making provides a thrill as hammers
bang into wood as each boy contributes
to his pit in an effort to construct
the winning billy cart of the derby.
3.10 The bell sounds to go home. Whew! What
a dClYit has been.

Wilson's Promontory
Camp:
The rumble of the buses gradually died away
as 6 Green left for Wilson's Promontory. Four hours
later, boys pitched tents as rosellas circled in the
air. That night, torches flashed on and off as we
left for Squeaky Beach; when we reached it,
Squeaky Beach lived up to its name with squeaks
coming from everywhere. While there we contested
Jue Jumps and then headed back to camp. That
night everyone slept well, apart from Andrew Livy
who went sleep-walking in his tent. The next
morning we had a scavenger hunt in which one of
the articles needed was a hair from Mr. Darroch's
leg! Unbeknowns to some boys he left six hairs in
an envelope on the table.
That afternoon we had our second hike to Lilly
Pilly Gully, where we studied nature with the help
from a brochure. By this time we were in condition
for Sealer's Cove, our third hike and the longest.
On the way there we stopped at a waterfall and
everyone had a refreshing drink. Towards the cove
the ground became soft and we were in swampland.
When we finally reached the cove everyone
went in swimming. On the way back we had to
wait for Bryan Plowman and Barry McBrearty who
dawdled.
The next day was a rest day, so people went
swimming and David Kegele Jobie Kelly, Eamon
Bourke and Greg Meehan went fishing and caught
4 fish. That night was a disaster! About 9 o'clock
split, splat, down came the rain. Three tents were
evacuated and boys slept in the mess hut and in
cars. The people in the others had a very uncomfortable
night. In one tent Peter Benetti's sleeping
bag started floating around because of ali the
water!
The next morning everything was dried out
and at 12 o'clock we departed for school. Thanks
to Mrs. Grogan, our cook, Mr. Bourke, Mr. Darroch
and Miss Rooney who supervised, for a really
grouse camp.
CROSS
COUNTRY
We again combined with Senior School in the
AC.C. Cross Country which was held in August
and quite a lot of the boys ran under the handicap
of a virus that seemed to have taken a heavy toll
on the boys this year. A better indication of the
team's standard could be gained from an earlier
competition.
The Catholic Secondary Schools Association
invited us to enter their annual cross country
which is held at Royal Park. About forty-five boys
trained at lunch time - four times a week for
four weeks - and they were certainly very fit and
keen. The boys were rewarded for their hard work
by performing very well on the day.
Paul Thorpe, Richard Hehir and Peter Barnes
were individual winners and the team's success
was outstanding.
Under 12 - 1st. Under 13 - 1st.
Under 14 - 2nd. Under 15 - 3rd.
Congratulations to all team members on their
success and many thanks to those who trained
so well and heiped improve the over-all standard
of a fine team.

GRADE 5 CLASS NOTES
This year has been rather an eye-opener for
the smallest boys at Parade Prep. Having been
wrested away from the comparative safety of the
local primary school, placed in a class of forty
strangers and confronted with a "Brother"; life
has been full of "Vesta situations". However,
most seemed to have survived.
The zoo was the first adventure. We're not quite
sure if it ever recovered. A trip to Grevisfield farm
proved quite an experience. The day was
inclement, yet it didn't appear to prevent most
from enjoying themselves. A visit to the
Botanical Gardens seemed to leave the ducks
and swans that much fatter.
On the sport's field we played SI. Kevin's at
cricket; Clete Blake batted well, however they
proved the better team. We turned the tables with
a football match; Bernard Powell being a dominant
player. S1. Martin's also came and were defeated,
Brian Hartin proving quite rugged in defence. A
game with 51. Anthony's provided a different
out-come; they being the stronger team. Peter
Dynes put in a fine game on that occasion.
Some time was spent in school; Social Studies,
Art and Science being the more popular subjects.
For some strange reason Maths and English
appeared to receive quite a low rating on the
popularity scale.
The year has been an experience, we've grown
a little, enjoyed ourselves and undoubtedly upset
some people on occasions - no doubt part of
the growing up process. All seem to be looking
forward to 1978.
TENNIS
This year we have had a successful season in
tennis. In first term our NO.1 team, Under 13, of
the V.C.L.T.A., (T. Alderman, M. Hempenstall,
M. Chester, A. Bafuno and P. Franz) took out the
pennant by defeating our NO.2 team in a close
game.
In the second term once again our Parade
NO.1 team won the premiership against Highett
by a close margin.
Our other teams also performed well during the
season, including the Primary boys. .
Once more tennis coaching is being gIven by
Messrs. John and Jim Reddock, and with the
numbers being coached, Parade should be
strong contenders in the tennis for many years
to come.
1977 has yet again been an enjoyable year of
tennis for the U/15 teams. Admittedly, we were
not very successful, but everyone got a game and
tried their hardest for the school. The Summer
Pennant which is 1st term tennis, had a team
compris{ng of Richard Geary, ~ichael King,
Anthony King, Paul McArdle, Leigh Hewatt, Paul
Tasca, and John Powell. They did quite well and
finished just out of the finals.
The Winter pennant. 2nd term tennis, was not
quite as successful as 1st term but tri~d very
hard, and was beaten by narrow margins on
several occasions.
We would like to lhank all parents who helped
out during the year in either driving or umoiring
etc. and a special thanks to Brother Duckworth
who again this year kept up to 8 teams organized
and punctual
for their matches.
By John Powell & Matthew Chester.

6 BLUE CLASS NOTES
Our new year began with arrivals from many
schools, which meant new friends to be made,
old ones fe-united and standards and ideas to be
reached. Upon settling in we found that learning
new subjects was stimulating to our minds yet at
the same time we looked forward to breaks outside
the classroom, In our "Life, be in it"
kite competition some winners were Peter Caddy,
Thomas Plustwik and Andrlus Lipsys. The annual
billy cart formula 10 race was won by Phil Ryan
and John Rodgers with Leigh Bowman performing
well. Carts of all shapes, sizes and speeds brought
out the best of skills in many others. Perhaps our
best carpenter would be Greg Dawson who
assembled a letter-box in 10 minutes. Our class
would be noted for its record number of talkers
so we each delivered a prepared speech on a
subject of our choice. How difficult it is to face
your own classmates, yet Mark Beers spent 45
minutes eulogizing on tennis! In other notable
achievements we must mention Brian Moloney
and Michael Perri who were the stars in our production
of "H.M.S. Pinafore". The drama night
was memorable for our class, after all our practice
would Peter Bibby recover in time? Would the
sisters, cousins and aunts really let their sisters
dress them up? We've never enjoyed a concert
so much.
In the sporting field our approach was based on
team games with various classmates achieving
such skills as Paul Murphy shooting 36 points after
receiving the passes from Andrius Lipsys. In
baseball Mark Elder and Damian Moore tried
hitting the ball into the creek to score a "homer".
How lucky we were to have a narrow win over St.
Martin's where many of us started school. This
was due to solid play from Paul Fahey, Martin
Heffernan and Anthony Martin.
Our Camp, to be held in late October, will be at
Silver Creek, where we hope to experience the
wonder of God's creation in nature and share our
companionship with each other. A recent excursion
was to view 'Storm Boy", an enjoyable film about
the simple life-style of a country boy. We too, have
tried to appreciate the joys of life such as improving
the gardens around the school, which proves to
be a welcome escape from the text-books. The
3 A's still receive due attention, and we shudder
when the voice of Brother Giles booms "Now do
this sum for me . ", and hope that name
isn't mine.
Members of our class were fortunate when it
came to helping people less fortunate than ourselves.
We did this through Project Compassion,
the appeal for Bangladesh and GAM.A. Our aim
was to follow Christ more closely and our religious
study was from the "Let's go Together" programme,
the Bible and examples of the Saints. We also
learnt the value of personal prayer in our lives.
To our classmates leaving us this year we wish
God's blessing to Michael Purcell in Brisbane and
David Plater in Malaysia.
FORM I BLUE CLASS
NOTES
In our classroom we have some interesting
characters. One of them is Matthew Robertson,
alias "ROBO". He seems to be always cracking
sick jokes about everyone. Another one is Steven
Jones •• alias "JONAH". He always opens his
mouth at the wrong time and has a funny laugh
that gets him into trouble sometimes.
V. Long, I Blue.
Swan
Hill:
During the last week of first term, the boys of
Form I went to a camp at Swan Hill. The two Form
I's left by train from Spencer Street station. On
the way M. Robertson broke a window on the train.
We got off at Swan Hill after a long and tiring
journey. When we left the train we went straight
onto a bus. The best tour that the boys went on was
the Pioneer Settlement. There the boys were
shown around by two guides. They showed us the
old post office, stables. blacksmith, wood turning,
stores and old houses. After the tour the boys
were allowed to do their own inspection of the
Settlement.
The only bad thing on the camp was that we had
to stay on the buses most of the time. The camp we
stayed at was good, but it was a race to get to the
showers in the morning. All the time at the C::lmp
was enjoyable. the meals were good and the halls
that we slept in were dusty but good. On the way
home everyone was eager to get home. At Spencer
Street station there was a line of the boys' mothers
who were waiting. As soon as the boys got off,
they wanted to go home.
S. Jones, Form I Blue.
The Westgate
Bridge:
During the second term we went on an excursion
to the Westgate Bridge. On arrival we parked the
bus in the toll area, alighted from the bus and went
inside the drawing room where we saw a $6,000
scaled model of the bridge and the area around it.
After that we walked back outside where a staff
member showed us a girder box. Girder boxes are
cement structures used in making the bridge.
They weigh several tonne and have to be hoisted
up to the bridge by means of a crane. Then we
went back to the bus and drove to the top of the
of the bridge. From there we could see a magnificent
view of Melbourne.
K. Meath, I Blue.
The Flour
Mill:
Later in the year we visited a flour mill in Foots~
cray. When we arrived the class was divided into
three groups, and eventually, each group was
shown each part of the mill. We saw many interest~
ing things at the mill such as: the wheat being
cleaned and sieved and then turned into one of
the various types of flour. By watching how the
flour was made and processed I'm sure everyone
knows a lot more about the processing of wheat.
AM:
A. Pertile, I Blue.
DOing art with Mr. Fitt is real fun. We do a lot of
good things, such as leatherwork, clay modelling,
candlemaking. bottle cutting and woodwork. We
are successful at most of these and if we aren't
successful we try again and get it almost perfect.
We enjoy our work and take a pride in it.
The Museum:
On the Wednesday, just after we arrived back
from our holidays, we went to the museum. Mr.
Sholley took us in by bus; we got off and were
divided into two groups. The first group went into
a special room and had a talk on Aborigines, while
the others went around having a look at the displavs.
After aoout an hour of discussion, the group
came out and the other group went in. We had a
great time there and we learne! many new things.

The Fathers Association aim to succeed with
everything lhat it does for and on behalf of the
College. Success is not measured only in monetary
terms, it is through achievement by participation,
in communication and by giving.
We therefore look forward to your contribution
for future success of Parade Preparatory College
Alphington.
I thank the Headmaster, Brother Adams,
Brother Duckworth and all members of the Committee
for individual and/or combined efforts
and those fathers and friends who have participated
during 1977.
Anthony
R. Villanti,
The year 1977 marked the resumption of more
family involvement in activities associated with
the every day functioning of the Parade Preparatory
College.
The year also evidenced the beginning of a
closer linking between Parade Bundoora,
especially joint venlure activities of the respective
Fathers/Mothers improving the communication
factor.
Both the Fathers Association and the Mothers
Association have very special and individual
roles to play in the function of the Parade
Alphington.
However, a combined group emerged this
year, and whilst it has come together to arrange
the 1978 Silver Jubilee Celebrations, the joint
Fathers/Mothers Committee has shown that a
joint committee will in the future provide a very
strong and representative front, to deal with those
special activities.
The always successful Barbeque Committee
and the new Special Effort Committee (comprising
representatives from both Parade Alphington and
Parade Bundoora) are clear examples of success
with joint ventures.
The Fathers Associations plans have all been
or are being carried out as planned with varying
degrees of succes.
The Working Bees - a successful return.
Mens Nights (or auarterly Meelings)-poor
response.
Special Ellorl Raflle and Basket Supper
(with Parade Bundoora) - a good response.
Father/Son Sports Nights - Excellenl.
Father/Son Fishing Weekend - Excellenl.
Two Special projects were the subject at
research and investigation by the fathers.
The fir.st project was to det:rmine the feasability
of installing a 25 m. heated SWimming pool within
the school grounds. Allhough the project has
been defered, the Committee after a thorough
research determined that a 25 m. pool could be
provided for the College as another Special
Project by the futUre Fathers Committee.
The second and most important project under
investigation is the proposed new school building
- The fathe~s role in this project is one of support
to the Headmaster.
The Fathers Association are presently investigating
alternative ways and means of financinql
constructing the new school building projecl.
The aim of this action is to provide a real
operative alternative finance scheme available in
the event of unavailability of funds through the
Schools Commission.
LADIES' AUXILIARY REPORT
It is with great pleasure that I present to you
the annual report of the Parade Preparatory
College Ladies' Auxiliary for 1977. As leader of
a team of helpful and able ladies, my task has
been made very easy by the ever capable Mrs.
Margaret Mcintyre as secretary of the auxitiary.
Our first function for the year was our annual
Fancy Dress basket dance, which was held on
25th February, and as usual, was a right "Royal"
success. Mass was offered in the library,
preceding the annual luncheon, held in the school
hall.
The main function for the year was a dinner to
farewell Brother Adams, who was leaving for
overseas. It was jointly organied by the ladies'
and fathers' committees. Mr. Tony Villanti wished
Brother well on behalf of ali the parents and
presented him with a cheque on our behalf.
The fashion parade which has been held in
August for some years had to be postponed until
September and Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, parents of
Chris. were able to arrange a display and sale
of Asian handcrafts to entertain us forJhat night
of Auqust 16th, and the fashion parade was held
14th September instead.
Our final social function for the year was the
progressive dinner, which seems to be a very
successful "social" and "sociable" function.
We are indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Love, Mr.
and Mrs. Ed Bourke and Mr. and Mrs. Tony
Ferrazza for the generous loan of their homes for
this occasion. The ladies of the committee once
again provided a most enjoyable meal for all who
attended.
As a result of our various efforts the auxiliary
has raised over $2,500 for the school during the
year and no doubt Brother Adams will be able to put
this to good use on his return.
Members of the committee, toqether with some
members of the fathers' committee have jOined
forces to form the Silver Jubilee Committee
which is currently hard at work planning and
arranging a week of celebrations for March 1978,
when our very "special" school celebrates 25
years of Christian education. We look forward to
this as an opportunity to show to the community
of the Christian Brothers our gratitude, as parents,
for all that they have done for our sons.
In closing I wish to thank all who have helped
the auxiliary in any way, especially the committee
who have suoported me whole-heartedly in every
venture we have undertaken.
Margaret Fleming, President.

UNDER 14 FOOTBALL
The season did not get off to a promising start
and after four rounds, with not one win to our
credit, our chances of reaching the finals looked
very remote indeed.
The first round, in which we were scheduled to
play St. Kilda, was washed out. Then, in
consecutive games we were soundly beaten by
Abbotsford and Sunbury. The fourth round saw
the game against Preston cancelled because of
bad weather, and at the commencement of the
lifth round we had played only two games and had
lost both of them.
However, the next game against Malvern was
the turning point of the season. We won a hard,
muddy game by 8 points, then went on to defeat
St. Kilda, Abbotsford, Sunbury and Preston in
successive weeks, to finish the S8CtSOn in second
position which qualilied us to play Sunbury in the
Grand Final.
The previous game against Sunbury had been a
particularly good one, and we had managed to win
by only points, from a free kick awarded seconds
belore the final bell. The Grand Final was played
in very wet, muddy conditions, and the bigger
Sunbury side was too strong, and played some
line football to win the game by 16 points. Our
best players in the Final were Paui Thorpe, Paul
Villanti, Rod Byrne, Greg Barnes and Richard
Geary.
Our sincere thanks are offered to Mr. Bill
Barnes for his patient and skilful coaching each
Saturday morning, and we owe much to him for
our gradual improvement during the season. We
are also grateful to Mr. Jack Mullane and Mr. Jim
Geary who acted as officials at our games, and we
thank all parents who provided transport.
refreshments and vocal support at our weekly
matches.
We have been told that our Under 14 side was
the best the College has produced lor many
years, and for this reason we feel we would like
to name the players who made up the Training
List, as all were not able to represent the College
in the Grand Final.

UNDER
13B FOOTBALL
In football conditions that ranged Irom poor to
shocking, the U. 13B's took to the game this
season with the determination of the best traditions
of P.P,C. The results - in terms of score - were
not always successful, but in terms of skills learnt
and mastered, were outstanding. Under the
attenlive and patient coaching of Mr. I. Bibby, the
boys developed a sense of concentration, style of
play, and team spirit that was a pleasure to watch.
Injuries and illness during the season necessarily
meant some boys were called on for the U. 13A
team. This was a real boost to the team spirit as
nobody was regared as "the star" and boys such
as J. Bibby, C. Hogg, D. Jackson, S. Jones and
D. Pelly responded to the need to turn in
consistently reliable performances. In fact, all
the team - including the coach - were stars,
in the way they took to the rain and the mud with
enthusiasm, loyalty, and courage.
UNDER
12B FOOTBALL
This year's Under 12B team did not have a
successful season but this was not brought about
by lack of endeavour on the part of the players.
Because of some excellent individual efforts
boys from this team were able to force their way
up into the A grade team and actually piayed
in the grand final in that grade. Generally, the
12B's lacked the height and experience all over
the field. On occasions the back lines comprising
Glen O'Donnell, Stephen Hamilton, Damian
Casamento, Paul Doherty, Gerard Harnan and
John Rodgers combined well and tried to set up
scoring opportunities for team mates further
afield. The centre line players; Michael Webster,
Peter Bibby, Michael Byrne and Michael Purcell
attempted to carry out the coach's instructions
of looking for a man in a good position on our
forward line. Our forward thrusts were most often
converted by; Paui Mackay, Damien Hehir, Peter
Williams, Peter Roberts, David Henderson,
Damian Griffithts and Philip Ryan. Our tallest
player, Chris O'Halioran, and shortest piayer
Tim Wilson usually gave tireless displays as
ruckman and rover respectively. We had at our
disposal several utility players who showed
versatility by.being able to play in a number
of positions. These players included; Paul Peters,
Justin Callahan, Damian Perri, David Slattery
and Mark Somers.

UNDER
IIA FOOTBALL
In an extremely wet season, the Under IIA team
finished third, winning three matches, losing three.
receiving two walkovers and having two washed
out. Our three defeats were by narrow margins
and each was lost through one bad quarter due
to inexperience as only a few boys had previously
played competitive football.
Our most consistent players were Peter Barnes,
Clete Blake, and Damisn Mcinerney. but every
boy in the team deserves mention because of
Ihp. enthusiasm and endeavour shown and a skill
which bodes well for future Parade teams.
The boy's sportsmanship both in victory and
defeat reflected great credit to themselves. their
parents, their teachers and thA college. Many
thanks also to the parents whose support
encouraged and spurred on the boys and
esoec:ally to Mr. B. Brown and J. Dynes for
officiating each week and to Chris Jackson for his
fine, impartial adjudication of the home matches.
The report would not be complete without the
special mention of Mr. R. Jackson, the coach,
of the 11A's for not only giving up his Saturday
mornings to coach, but also for the enlightened
way he approached his task, and Mr. J. Blake for
his a~sistance in training the boys on the Thursday
evenings.
UNDER
liB FOOTBALL
The twenty odd members of Parade's UIIB team
embraced the great "Aussi" football cult with
willing, if inexperienced arms during the winter
months of 1977. The boys showed enthusiasm,
almost boundless enthusiasm on occasions.
However, playing against "A" teams did make
life difficult for them.
We hear much about playing for the game's sake
and accepting defeat graciously. The Under liB's
were given boundless opportunity at this and to
their credit the boys could lose with dignity -
even by 17 goals. 'Perhaps as a consolation the
team played in and won the Under liB grand final
(against the only other team in the competition).
Trying to pick best players is a difficult task;
most played to their best ability. Nevertheless, the
team was well captained by Owen Abrahams;
Brendan Ryan rucked well; Peter Brennan was a
most enterprising ruck-rover: Chris Bibby collected
many kicks at centre; Tim Cabassi proved quite
a dasher while Ger8rd Foote was rugged in
defence. Perhaps special mention might be made
of Anthony Dabbs and Vincent Hedger who
showed incredible improvement during the season
and who would have easily been in contention
for any "most improved" awards.
There is nothing like oerforminq to an audience;
the team was fortunate to have a band of dads
(and mums) who appeared regularly each week
to barrack. Nothing can compare with parental
support!
1977 proved quite an enjoyable experience
with the old footba!l; we hope 1978 will be just
as good!
UNDER
12A FOOTBALL
The season for the under 12A's was a mixture of
success and disappointment. The team's form
was patchy at first, then a mid-season slump.
Finally, the team began to realize the value of
team play and swept into the grand-final with a
fine win over Preston. The next week the two
sides met in a torrid final with Preston emerging
vicfors by a kick. It was disappointing for fhe boys
to have come so far, to come so near, yet much
benefit will come in the future from the skills and
team work generated in 1977.
Mark Beers, captain, was a truly outstanding
player, whether on the ball or in the centre, he was
a constant driving force. Paul Fahey was a clever,
intelligent forward and his creative game set up
many attacks. He demonstrated a great deal of
potential. Kevin Collum, no task was too great for
Kevin, he manfully took on responsibility and
several bigger opponents during the season and
beat them all. HE!was fast, tireless and inspiring.
Danny Flynn, rover, a very courageous and
determined player often seen when the going was
hard. D8mien Moore, ruck-rover, used defensively
showed much concentration and application in
his task - also a very fine player. Michael Newell,
half-back, when he concentrated was a fine.
dashing back man. He was well supported by
Leigh Bowman and Tony Martin whose skills and
close checking play often came under notice.
Vincent Long and Mark Carrazzo combined well
in the back line saving many yoals. Mark also
showed a keen desire to combine with players
upfield. Wingers Mark Treppo, Peter Roberts. John
Phelan gave great support whilst half-forwards
Caddy, Somers and Mackey gave drive and always
tried to win kicks., 6
Finally, forwards Bernard Matissi and Heffernan
combined well with goal sneak Minahan whose
uncanny judgement and accurate kicking made
him a fine asset. Andrew Stevens showed
exceptional ability as An individual whether in the
ruck or forward line.

C.Y.M.S. BASKETBAll
Three teams were entered in the Summer Season
and after the grading matches all were assigned
to A Grade Section.
U12's had an excellent season and went through
to win the Grand Final. Brendan Griffiths and David
Dober proved they were worth their weight in
gold with their accuracy for goals and good
offensive work. Peter Dybing, new to the game,
caught on quickly and was abie, with his height
to win jump-balls and recover rebounds. Peter
Barnes did well with his speed on the court and
helped to boost our score. David Jones showed
he will be a promising player. Jurian Stuyfbergen
and Brendan McIntyre also new to the game were
great triers in defence.
The U13's looked like the 11 dwarfs but the
opposition learnt not to judge a book by its cover.
They had an excellent season and ended up on
top 01 the ladder, but unfortunately height showed
in the end when they lost the Grand Final by one
point. Barry McBrearty and Martin Heffernan
proved again that there is a place for smaller
players in a team especially when they are accurate
shooters. Peter Bibby, Wayne Grogan, David
McCarthy and Tim Wilson worked well in offence
and defence and seemed never to tire. Christopher
Nrhill, Geoffrey Keegan and Peter Coon, although
not having the height of the opposition, were
great defenders and stuck like glue to their opponents
causing many jump-balls. Paul Peters
and Bernard Phelan, the tallest of the team, tried
unceasingly to get the rebounds and Brian Plowman,
a newcomer, attacked the game with great
enthusiasm.
The U14's, after many hard games, made it to the
Grand Final but success slipped away in the dying
stages of the game. Michael Prendergast and .
Anthony Barry showed accuracy and skill throughout
the season; John Kissane. Martin Frenette
and Greg King were reliable players who gave
their all. Maurice Roda and Philip Love showed
great improvement this season and brought us
forward on many occasions. Anthony Jowett
worked well in defence.
With the last of the Prendergasts passing on to
Bundoora I would like to thank Mrs. Prendergast
and her son Patrick for the support and help she
has given over the 5 years Parade has entered
teams in the competition.
Six teams have been entered in the Spring
season, U12, U13 (1 & 2), U14, U15 (1 & 2). After
a hectic start to the season conflicting with football
Grand Finals the teams have settled down and are
looking forward to another good season.
I would like to thank the boys who attended
training every week and the parents who supported
us.
P. Rooney, (Coach).
CRICKET: UNDER II STYLE -
The batsman strode to the crease, took guard,
then from beneath his sun hat quietly appraised'
the bowler. Face taunt with concentration he lifted
his bat, a masterful task considering it was nearly
as big as himself, and swished viciously at t~e
ball, which on the third bounce had landed Just
outside 011stump. Willow struck leather; the ball
raced to point where its progress was rudely
retarded by being stepped on. Parade's merry
band of under II cricketers, the epitome of youthful
vigour and boundless enthusiasm certainly added
an unorthodox flavour to the stoical game of
cricket for season '77.
Being almost completely inexperienced, the
task of bowling lell to many in both teams. Howev~r.
C. BLAKE, B. POWEll, P. DINAN, A. PllATI, were
ably assisted by P. JACKSON, P. DYNES and
P. BRENNAN.
Batting is perhaps one of the hardest skills for
the young cricketer to master. Nevertheless, D.
McKElSON, B. RYAN, B. POWEll, P. BARNES,
P. DYNES and P. BROWN quickly learnt which
end of the bat to use.
The fielding of both teams was keen if nothing
else, with performances of T. CABASSI, D. KEGElE
and C. BIBBY being generally outstanding. This
keeness. coupled by some professional exhibitions
behind the stumps by both B. RYAN and D. Mac-
KAY made the under II fielding an event to behold
by the spectator.
The under IIA's won the competition; the liB's
came last. Yet most plr:lyers did compete for either
team at some time during the season. In any case;
the old adage still rings true: it is not so much
winning but rather in the act of competing that
the real benefit of any competition is realized.

SWIMMING:
The Parade swimming teams finished a creditable
sixth with five mornings a week training. Nine
boys managed to get into the A.C.C. They were
Paul O'Donnell, Danny Pratt, Steven Jones,
Matthew Chester, Mark Somers, Anthony Treppo
and Tim Percey.
After the A.C.C. Mr. Bibby took over coaching
us with about 32 boys training. We entered for the
C.S.S.A. swimming ca,rnival and every person
swam well and we came home with two shields
for which we were eligible to compete. Some individual
performances were wins by M. Somers, M.
Treppo, A. Hartin, A. Stevens, P. O'Donnell and
P. Villanti. Boys who trained well were M. Hend.erson,
P. Mcinerney, A. O'Halioran and captain R.
Byrne who swam 100 metres, M. Reid, P. Williams,
J. Newman, J. Bibby, D. Henderson and P. Dynes.
We would like to thank Mr. Bibby tor without him
we would not have been able to represent Parade
with success.
Our own sports were again held at Northcote
and for the first time two teams shared first place.
Final points were, Bodkir. and Lynch 322, Treacy
283 and Huhe. 257. The captains were M. Henderson,
Lynch, P. Mcinerney, Treacy, P. Villanti,
Bodkin and R. Byrne, Hughes.

this year were;-

UNDER 12B CRICKET
Although only moderateiy successful throughout
the year the Under 12B cricket team lacked
nothing in endeavour. The team was led by the
jovial Peter Bibby who did a fine job as captain.
Probably the bowling of the team was its strength
and we were usually able to dismiss teams for
moderate scores,. Generally bowlers such as
Paul Mackay, Damian Moore, Damian Casamento,
Peter Bibby and Bernard Matisi shared the wickets
and show promise for the future. Unfortunately
our batsmen did not show the consistency
required to force a few more wins. The most
reliable run scorers included Glen O'Donnell,
Andrew Stevens, and Paul Mackay. Other useful
contributors were Damian Moore, Paul Street and
Greg Dawson. The team was also served well in
the field especially by Peter Caddy (wiCket-keeper),
PhilRyan, Paul Street and Colin Owen.
