ANNUAL<br />
REPORT,<br />
1974<br />
It is with pleasure that I welcome to Parade this<br />
evening, His <strong>Grace</strong> <strong>Archbishop</strong> <strong>Little</strong>, on the first<br />
occasion that he has had since his election, to attend<br />
a College function. It is remarkable that the nomination<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Archbishop</strong> <strong>Little</strong> to the Sec <strong>of</strong> <strong>Melbourne</strong> has<br />
been universally welcomed and many sections <strong>of</strong> the<br />
community have granted him as warm a welcome a(j<br />
the Catholic people did. On your behalf, 1 wish him<br />
a happy and blessed period as <strong>Archbishop</strong> and hope<br />
that he will be able to join us on many occasions in the<br />
life <strong>of</strong> the College.<br />
I welcome also the Provincial <strong>of</strong> St. Patrick's Province,<br />
Br. P. C. Naughtin, a former Headmaster <strong>of</strong><br />
Parade and <strong>of</strong> St. Kevin's College. Brother Naughtin<br />
is bound by his ollice to consider the needs <strong>of</strong> all the<br />
schools <strong>of</strong> Victoria and Tasmania, but we feel at Parade<br />
that he has preserved a very high regard for this school<br />
and is deeply concerned about its welfare, and I would<br />
like to thank him for his never-failing interest and<br />
generous help in terms <strong>of</strong> his own time and energy.<br />
Parade, Bundoora. owes an immense debt to two<br />
men - Brother Nash who planned it, and Brother<br />
Greening who was the first Headmaster and who guided<br />
the first years <strong>of</strong> Parade on its new site at Bundoora.<br />
Br. Greening is himself endowed with a remarkable<br />
personality, outstanding for his geniality and friend.<br />
liness and for his gift <strong>of</strong> welding together all sections<br />
<strong>of</strong> the school into a very warm and friendly community.<br />
It is not in his nature to be harsh in discipline and yet<br />
the high standards <strong>of</strong> the school show his assurance in<br />
planning and his dedication to teaching. All who have<br />
been connected with the College during the last six<br />
years will join with me in acknowledging the tremendous<br />
job which he accomplished here and in paying<br />
tribute to his efforts with a very sincerc thank you. I<br />
congratulate him on his recent appointment as Headmaster<br />
<strong>of</strong> St. Patrick's College, Strathfield.<br />
1974 has been a trial year for the new system <strong>of</strong><br />
Cnmmonwealth grants-in-aid. We have seen the Karmel<br />
Commission emerge into the Schools Commission and<br />
the establishment in each state <strong>of</strong> a Priorities Committee<br />
for determining building grants; there arc also other<br />
committees to look after in-service schemes, innovation<br />
programmes, etc. One <strong>of</strong> the problems which has<br />
emerged in the new arrangements concerns the future<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Libraries' Committee, founded by the Liberal<br />
Government; this committee has seen most <strong>of</strong> its direct<br />
work accomplished, and what remains is simply the<br />
paying-<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> buildings already erected.<br />
It is probable, that future library grants will be made<br />
through the Priorities Committee; however, knowledge<br />
<strong>of</strong> procedures for the future will be available after the<br />
submission <strong>of</strong> the report <strong>of</strong> the Schools Commission to<br />
the Australian Government which is due in May, 1975.<br />
Parade College has a very good chance <strong>of</strong> receiving<br />
a Building Grant for a school library for the year 1975<br />
- and already sketch plans and site plans have been<br />
prepared by the School Architect in anticipation <strong>of</strong><br />
receiving this grant.<br />
In May 1975 the Schools Commission has the task<br />
<strong>of</strong> advising Cabinet on future policy for funding for<br />
the period 1976-1978 <strong>of</strong> all building and recurrent<br />
grants. Heads <strong>of</strong> schools and all other persons concerned<br />
have been asked to consider possible changes<br />
in methods <strong>of</strong> funding and to submit to the Schools<br />
Commission the views about funding which they believe<br />
are the most suitable for their school. This matter is<br />
also the serious concern <strong>of</strong> parents and they too are<br />
asked to submit their views on this question <strong>of</strong> funding.<br />
The closer the amount <strong>of</strong> contact which Cabinet has<br />
with parents' views, the better the situation should be.<br />
In 1974, the question <strong>of</strong> standards in education seems<br />
to me to be the crucial issue. To maintain the quality<br />
<strong>of</strong> Religious Education, the level <strong>of</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong><br />
Religion, the sense <strong>of</strong> neatness in dress, a reasonable<br />
- yet IIp-to-date hair-style, to ensure that normal<br />
school shoes are worn and that the language <strong>of</strong> the<br />
boys and their conversation generally are maintained<br />
at an appropriate Christian norm - this really is one <strong>of</strong><br />
the major issues and problems <strong>of</strong> our younger genera~<br />
tion. Our task becomes more difficult when entertainment<br />
films, in both cinema and T.V., permit the free expression<br />
<strong>of</strong> words that were formally regarded with contempt<br />
by educated people. It is unfortunate that modern<br />
attitudes - the values and beliefs and the practice <strong>of</strong> a
generation - can be shaped and controlled by the views<br />
<strong>of</strong> media magnates. Within the schoolroom itself, the<br />
teaching <strong>of</strong> Religion in its most modern form has not<br />
finally reached a still-point - between doctrine and<br />
communication skills. It is extremely difficult to get<br />
agreement among teachers about Religion curricula.<br />
On the one hand, parents value what they experienced<br />
at school and want their children to be well-grounded<br />
in religious doctrine and practice. Modern experts tend<br />
to throw a greater degree <strong>of</strong> decision-making back on<br />
to the child in the matter <strong>of</strong> religious belief and practice,<br />
and school courses do not present doctrine nearly as<br />
directly as they once did. Often, the doctrine remains<br />
implicit within a story chosen from a novel, a live<br />
incident or a film shown. Behind the new approach to<br />
teaching religious values is the conviction that the endproduct<br />
<strong>of</strong> our new catechesis will be a more convinced<br />
and a more opcn.minded Catholic. However that may<br />
be, I feel that it is my duty to speak directly to parents<br />
on certain issues which concern the welfare <strong>of</strong> their<br />
sons. These arc: the daily habit <strong>of</strong> praying both morning<br />
and evening; training in reception <strong>of</strong> the Sacrament <strong>of</strong><br />
Confession at least monthly; using the Mass book on<br />
Sunday; making an effort to speak the responses clearly<br />
at Ma"is; careful supervision <strong>of</strong> a boy's companions;<br />
being at home when the boy arrives from school; supervision<br />
<strong>of</strong> his night.study; firmness in the matter <strong>of</strong> going<br />
out in the evenings so that his study is not left incomplete;<br />
regular instruction in good speech and basic<br />
standards <strong>of</strong> courtesy; maintaining the bonds <strong>of</strong> family<br />
and control over children and their movements<br />
especially during the long vacation, and most <strong>of</strong> all,<br />
when the family moves to a sea.side resort; - these<br />
arc bUI a few <strong>of</strong> the tasks which make up responsible<br />
parenthood.<br />
MISSION APPEALS AND SOCIAL<br />
RESPONSIBILITY:<br />
The Missions have received very generous support<br />
this year. 5200 was donated to the etforts <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Diocese; $ 1000 was sent to an Orphanage in India that<br />
is being run by our Brothers in Calcutta; $800 was<br />
raised to help deserted children and there were many<br />
appeals for the Spastic Centre, for the hospitals, for<br />
Austeare etc., all <strong>of</strong> which found a generous response<br />
in the student body. In addition to these, boys from<br />
Form V made a weekly visit to Janefield where they<br />
learned how to hring companionship and help to retarded<br />
children. The 6th Form instructed young<br />
children in their Catholic Faith on a weekly basis.<br />
Other similar works have been a regular feature <strong>of</strong><br />
school life, and these point to the school's being a<br />
caring community, panicularly for those outside the<br />
school whose need is great. A good deal <strong>of</strong> structu red<br />
contact was had with girls from St. Monica's School<br />
and Catholic Ladies' College through Ballroom Dancing<br />
classes, discussions <strong>of</strong> Religion, C<strong>of</strong>fee Nights, Drama<br />
Groups and in a number <strong>of</strong> other ways. Great success<br />
came to the efforts <strong>of</strong> the Drama Group, who were<br />
placed second in the Catholic Drama Festival for thcir<br />
scene from "Pride and Prejudice", and third at the<br />
South Street Contest in Ballarat. The full produclion<br />
<strong>of</strong> Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" in the beautiful hall<br />
at Catholic Ladies' College was a tremendous achievement<br />
and both schools pay tribute to Mrs. Casey for her<br />
training <strong>of</strong> the young actors.<br />
The ..It's Academic" team <strong>of</strong> Parade which appears<br />
on Channel 7 each year, won the State Final, and were<br />
placed third in the National title.<br />
The Edmund Rice College Oval and school buildings<br />
became available for use by Parade College this year<br />
owing to the generosity <strong>of</strong> Brother Naughtin, and our<br />
experiment in adolescent education with our Form II<br />
group has, I believe, been distinctly successful. This<br />
arrangement will continue in 1975, but is subject to<br />
yearly approval.<br />
From Edmund Rice College also came the members<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Brothers' first year <strong>of</strong> training, known as the<br />
J uvenate. These boys while living at Edmund Rice were<br />
fully integrated into Parade College as members <strong>of</strong> our<br />
Vth and VIth Form and they have given much to the<br />
school and have spenl a pr<strong>of</strong>itable and happy year at<br />
Parade. The contribution <strong>of</strong> Brother Peters and Brother<br />
Long has also been outstanding and I should like all to<br />
know that I am most happy to have these Brothers on<br />
our College staff.<br />
ENROLMENTS<br />
Enrolment is everywhere an important, but difficull<br />
matter for both parents and headmasters, and it is made<br />
more dillicult for Parade because this is the only<br />
Catholic Boys' College in the Diamond Valley. This<br />
year we had 285 applicants for 74 places in 1st Form.<br />
All parents should realise that there is no way in the<br />
world by whi.ch any Headmaster can satisfy all parents<br />
o~ the questIon <strong>of</strong> enrolment. When filling in an application<br />
form to enrol, all information considered im.<br />
portant and relevant should be written on that form;<br />
you should check with the school to find out the date<br />
when the boys will be asked to appear, and you should<br />
ensure that y?ur application fo.rm is present in the right<br />
College files If you submItted It some years previously.<br />
Leave nothing to chance in this matter, and since<br />
en,rolments will normally be held in the month <strong>of</strong> July,<br />
a phone call to the Collcge will ensure that your son<br />
will not be omitted from consideration because <strong>of</strong> any<br />
accident through lhe post.<br />
FEE STRUCTURE<br />
It has been the policy <strong>of</strong> this College and <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Provincial Council to keep fees as low as realistically<br />
pOSSIble to ensure. that members <strong>of</strong> large families, or<br />
famJlle~ on a IO\~ Income will all have an equal chance<br />
<strong>of</strong> find 109 selectIon at a Brothers' College. This year<br />
we were forced to raise our fees by $5 to $70 in Forms<br />
I and II; $75 in Forms III and IV and $80 in Forms<br />
V and VI. I believe that some adjustment to lhe fees<br />
WIll be necessary early in 1975 in order to meet the<br />
risc in salari~s and. prese.nt inflatio~ary costs. I promise<br />
that our basIC poilcy will be contmued and that adequate<br />
notice will be given to parents <strong>of</strong> any change in<br />
this matter <strong>of</strong> fccs .. In an eITort to save parents from<br />
unnecessary expenditure, our Ladies' Auxiliary will<br />
provide a service <strong>of</strong> selling good second-hand clothing<br />
c.'uly 111 December. where suits, blazers, pullovers and<br />
tiCS c~n .be b(~ught at. a .reasonable price; our Fathers'<br />
ASSOCiation will act Similarly to provide a secondhand<br />
book service at half-price, hclping both the family who<br />
sells tbe books and the one lhat buys.
ORDINATIONS AND VOCATIONS<br />
It was inspiring to witness the generous spirit which<br />
moved Father Grant O'Ncill, Father Frank Thorp,<br />
Father John Milesi and Father John O'Shea to give<br />
their lives to God as Priests in May <strong>of</strong> this year. The<br />
customary reception at Parade gave everyone in the<br />
school community an opportunity to meet with and<br />
hear these Priests. In addition to this, Brother John<br />
Challis was received into the Congregation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Brothers, and Brothcrs T. O'Shannassy, and M. Robotham<br />
made their final vows. Catholic parents continue<br />
to be generous in the encouragement they give to their<br />
sons who aspire to a Religious vocation, but it is also<br />
true that therc are somc who use a Catholic College<br />
because it provides their sons with a suitable guiding<br />
care and excellcnt teaching. They have their goals set<br />
firmly upon a career in the world and if the boy elects<br />
to follow a religious call, he receives no encouragement<br />
from parcnts who have planned differently. I ask all<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the College to consider honestly and<br />
sincerely that, if Christ calls a particular young man to<br />
his following as a Priest or Brother, that boy's happiness<br />
is involved in responding to the call. It requires faith<br />
and gcnerosity on the part <strong>of</strong> both the boy and his<br />
parents to see life in religious terms.<br />
CAREERS OFFICER<br />
With the death <strong>of</strong> Mr. Alban Pisani, the position <strong>of</strong><br />
Careers Officer was left vacant and the students missed<br />
this service very much. When Mr. Keith Barkcr decided<br />
to retire early from the Public Servicc, an approach was<br />
made to him to consider taking up this appointment at<br />
Parade. After due consideratiun, Mr. Barker acccpted<br />
the post and has been at the College cvery Tuesday<br />
and Thursday since second term. Latc in Septembcr, he<br />
arranged a Careers Night at which ovcr four hundrcd<br />
people were in attendance. He has taken over one<br />
hundred personal interviews with students and has setup<br />
his <strong>of</strong>fice in the school with a great deal <strong>of</strong> thoroughness.<br />
Abundant printed material on careers is readily<br />
available. I am indeed most grateful to Mr. Barker for<br />
the energy which he has brought to this post and I hope<br />
that his association with this College will be long and<br />
fruitful.<br />
HEADMASTER'S COUNCIL<br />
SCHOOL COUNCIL<br />
Aftcr discussion with the Staff, the school decided<br />
that thc S.R.C. would be discontinued in 1974 and that<br />
a council from Vith Form would be elected to act as<br />
School Council. Form V and Form IV have also their<br />
own elected Council. The Captain <strong>of</strong> the College for<br />
1974 is Lewis Derrico and his two Vice-Captains are<br />
Greg Beck and Peter Drapac. The othcr members <strong>of</strong><br />
the School Council are: Paul Brennan, Vic Dressler,<br />
Kevin Fahey, Michael Kuppe, Zenon Kolacz, Mark<br />
Godfrey, Mark Lippiatt, Dennis Hume, Mark Natoli,<br />
Stephen Howard, David Drapac, Brian Sullivan, Mark<br />
Quilligan, Bernard Monagle and David Mastwyk. This<br />
Council meets with the Headmastcr each week, usually<br />
on Thursday and have shown dedication and loyalty.<br />
DEPUTY HEADMASTER<br />
OF JUNIOR SCHOOL<br />
AND CO-ORDINATOR<br />
When thc appointments were made at the conclusion<br />
<strong>of</strong> Brother Greening's tcrm <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice, it was decided to<br />
separatc the post <strong>of</strong> Headmaster from that <strong>of</strong> Superior<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Brothers' Community. Naturally, certain changes<br />
devolvcd from this separation, and one <strong>of</strong> these was the<br />
appointment <strong>of</strong> a Headmaster's Council. The members<br />
<strong>of</strong> this Council are - Brother O'Sullivan, the Superior<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Brothers' Community, Brother Williams, Brother<br />
Stewart, Mr. Martin Hickey and Mr. Kevin Farrelly.<br />
Mcetings are held at monthly intervals, just prior to<br />
Staff Conference, and the members <strong>of</strong> Council have<br />
provcd to bc a great support and strength to the Headmaster.<br />
Brothcr H. L. Williams has carried out the duties <strong>of</strong><br />
Deputy Hcadmaster during 1974. He is thorough and<br />
calm and brings to his task a persistence which has<br />
provcd to be a great assistance in this particular appointment.<br />
His control over the school has been firm<br />
and unobtrusivc and his loyalty to staff and Headma..\tcr<br />
is outstanding.<br />
A similar character inspires the work <strong>of</strong> Mr. Martin<br />
Hickey, who directs the activity <strong>of</strong> Forms I, II and III.<br />
His long association with the College and his deep love<br />
<strong>of</strong> Christian education and youth made him the obvious<br />
choice for appointment to this post. To botb Brother<br />
Williams and Mr. Hickey lowe an immense personal<br />
debt and I reeord my thanks and appreciation for all<br />
they have done this year.<br />
STAFF CHANGES<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> 1974, Brother Williams will begin a<br />
course <strong>of</strong> full-time study at the National Pastoral Institute;<br />
Mr. Kevin Farrelly will retire from classroom<br />
teaching and take up para-educational work in the<br />
Dandenongs; Mr. Len Foster will begin his work as<br />
Educational Officer <strong>of</strong> the S.E.C., Sister Mary Johnson,<br />
after two years as head <strong>of</strong> Science at Parade will return<br />
to the work <strong>of</strong> the education <strong>of</strong> girls and Mr. Michael<br />
Kennedy to experience teaching in another school. Br.<br />
J. B. Boonen, who inaugurated our term <strong>of</strong> occupancy<br />
<strong>of</strong> Edmund Rice School buildings, is moving to St.<br />
Leo's, Box Hill, and Mr. L. Muir, after years <strong>of</strong> work<br />
as Librarian has decided it is time to retire. Brother<br />
Long has bcen appointed Headmaster <strong>of</strong> St. Joseph's<br />
College, North Melbournc, and I wish him the congratulations<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Parade community and lasting succcss<br />
in his <strong>of</strong>fice. My esteem and appreciation <strong>of</strong> all<br />
these staff members is obvious and we shall indeed<br />
miss their contribution to the life <strong>of</strong> the school.<br />
EXAMINATION<br />
RESULTS<br />
1973 was indeed a very good year in the work <strong>of</strong> the<br />
school; 80 per cent <strong>of</strong> our Vith Form boys were successful<br />
in their studies for HSC and there were five<br />
Distinctions gained together with the Julia Flynn Prize.<br />
Details <strong>of</strong> these results can be found printed in the<br />
Paradian and I shall not outline them any further here,<br />
except to mention the outstanding achievement <strong>of</strong> John<br />
Michael Rogan in winning the Julia Flynn Prize and a<br />
General Distinction.
CURRICULUM<br />
DEVEWPMENT<br />
After several discussions with the staff, I am pleased<br />
to announce that in 1975 we shall be able to <strong>of</strong>fer a<br />
broader educational experience at Form IV and Form<br />
V level and new subjects will be introduced into the<br />
Curriculum <strong>of</strong> studies: for example, Biology, Fine Arts,<br />
Commercial and Legal Principles and Technical<br />
Drawing. This has been made possible by the detailed<br />
planning <strong>of</strong> Brother Sexton, whose understandmg <strong>of</strong><br />
the needs <strong>of</strong> boys at this stage <strong>of</strong> their development<br />
stems from his many years' experience as a teacher<br />
and as an administrator. All members <strong>of</strong> staff conveyed<br />
appreciation <strong>of</strong> his suggested plan <strong>of</strong> development <strong>of</strong><br />
the curriculum and I encourage parents to find out all<br />
they can about it.<br />
SPORT<br />
The usual round <strong>of</strong> sporting activities fostered for<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the A.C.C. was undertakcn this year and<br />
in all <strong>of</strong> these activities, Parade boys took their part cnthusiastically.<br />
They wcre runners-up to C.B.C., St.<br />
Kilda, in the Crickct competition; had an avcragc<br />
success in the 1st 18; were 3rd in the Cross-Country;<br />
were unbeaten in competition in their Rugby; contributcd<br />
teams in the Soccer; were placed 3rd in the<br />
Swimming and in the Athletics. The U.15 Football team<br />
wcre undefeated. Basketball has become a major<br />
Saturday afternoon activity with twelve teams competing<br />
very successfully every week. Our Junior School<br />
has decided to become a member <strong>of</strong> the JUnior SectIOn<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Headmasters Conference Schools. This will involve<br />
sport on Saturday mornings with schools such as<br />
Ivanhoe, Caulfield, <strong>Melbourne</strong> Grammar, Scotch College,<br />
etc. It seems to me desirable that our boys meet<br />
with and play games against other schools than Catholic<br />
ones, whom they will meet later in the A.C.C. Competition.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> the tension which has developed in<br />
the latter competition was due to the fact that the boys<br />
had met each other in games since they were tcn and<br />
cleven years <strong>of</strong> age.<br />
the post as Secretary. I <strong>of</strong>fer you the thanks <strong>of</strong> thc<br />
Brothers and the blessing <strong>of</strong> God on this tremendous<br />
contribution to School life.<br />
Under the direction <strong>of</strong> Mr. Kevin Kelly, the Fathers'<br />
Association has met faithfully and has loyally supported<br />
the school functions, such as the dances, and the other<br />
occasions when their help has been asked.<br />
The Old Paradians' Assocation, with Kevin Johnston<br />
as President, does a tremendous job in co-ordinating<br />
and supporting the many activities <strong>of</strong> past pupils <strong>of</strong><br />
the school.<br />
I commend to all our present pupils leaving school<br />
this year, the Old Paradian Association, and I ask<br />
parents to encourage these boys to become members <strong>of</strong><br />
the OPA.<br />
I have been extremely consoled and assisted in my<br />
first year at Parade by the loyalty, hard work and<br />
dedication <strong>of</strong> the staff <strong>of</strong> this College. There can be no<br />
question, that, both in its Brothers and lay teachers, the<br />
College has a band <strong>of</strong> outstanding religious educators,<br />
who both appreciate their privilege as religious educators,<br />
and who courageously face their tasks and difficulties.<br />
Without their co-operation and hard work,<br />
nothing could be achieved and I wish to record publicly<br />
how much the student body really owes to their<br />
teachers.<br />
Finally, I ask the Blessing <strong>of</strong> God on your families<br />
and commit them to the care <strong>of</strong> Mary Immaculate, the<br />
Patroness <strong>of</strong> Parade.<br />

CADET<br />
UNIT<br />
It has been an achievement <strong>of</strong> 1974 that the Cadet<br />
Unit has continued to function in College life. Major<br />
Kevin Farrelly, our O.C., has supervised the activities<br />
<strong>of</strong> the unit with excellent control and has encouraged<br />
the young people to carry out their duties confidently<br />
and with suitable modesty and I am very grateful to<br />
him and his fellow Officers for undertaking the very<br />
difficult assignment <strong>of</strong> the Cadet Unit during the past<br />

ANNUAL REPORT PARADE BUNDOORA<br />
LADIES' AUXILIARY<br />
Brother McCarthy and Ladies, may I present to you<br />
the 1973-74 report <strong>of</strong> the Parade (Bundoora) Ladies<br />
Auxiliary. .<br />
This has been an exciting and eventful year since the<br />
election <strong>of</strong> this committee last September. We have<br />
seen the departure <strong>of</strong> Brother Greening after 6 years<br />
as the Headmaster and the installation <strong>of</strong> our new<br />
Headmaster Brother McCarthy. Last year we catered<br />
for a Cricketers luncheon, afternoon tea for Prizc winners,<br />
their Parents, and guests on Middle School and<br />
Senior School Speech days, luncheon for Rev. Father<br />
McPhee O. Carm, newly ordained Old Paradian which<br />
the Staff also attended. The Matric. finished their year<br />
with a Mass which their Parents attended and supper<br />
was served. Mothers helped to supervise Exams. this is<br />
a great help to the Staff. We closed 1973 with a wonderful<br />
farewell Dance for Brother Greening organized<br />
jointly by the Old Paradians, Men's Committee and<br />
Bundoora Ladies' Auxiliary.<br />
1974 opened with our new Headmaster Brother<br />
McCarthy introducing new ideas and method which<br />
must put interest into our activities. The Auxiliary<br />
began the year with a Mass, a wonderful band <strong>of</strong> workers<br />
made the annual Family night a great success again.<br />
The election <strong>of</strong> Prefects \'las re-introduced into the<br />
College and we attended an impressive ceremony when<br />
the Prefects were presented to the assembly <strong>of</strong> Students,<br />
Staff and invited guests. A Luncheon was served to the<br />
Prefects and their Parents.<br />
T\vo other big occasions were the return <strong>of</strong> two Old<br />
Paradians as finally Pr<strong>of</strong>essed Brothers and later in the<br />
year four Old Paradinns as Priests. a wonderful testimony<br />
<strong>of</strong> the teaching and example <strong>of</strong> the Brothers and<br />
StatT <strong>of</strong> Parade in this time <strong>of</strong> dwindling vocations. We<br />
must all pray that more boys will accept the challenge<br />
<strong>of</strong> Our Lord to follow Him. \Ve have continued to serve<br />
the College by assisting at Student Dances, Staff Luncheons.<br />
supervising entrance exams. making sports-bags<br />
to sell in the book shop and in July, 45 ladies manned<br />
the canteen all day one Sunday \vhen the Victorian<br />
Rand League hcld their competitions in the College<br />
Hall.<br />
Socially, the Auxiliary has always been active, with<br />
Theatre Nights to Pippin and Marne, Supper Dances,<br />
these were not as \vell attended as previously. and<br />
Morning C<strong>of</strong>fees at Mesdames Scott. Dorian, Collins<br />
and Niall, I thank these dear friends for opening their<br />
homes so willingly to our Ladies.<br />
In May we had a Luncheon at Camellia Lodge, although<br />
we hope to see marc present day Mothers next<br />
year, it was wonderful to sec our Past Mothers come<br />
together again, to reminisce over the good times they<br />
had enjoyed with Parade. Father Pickering conducted<br />
our Retreat this year. I'm sure all who altcnded went<br />
away with a renewed strength in their Faith. He spoke<br />
with a great amount <strong>of</strong> common-sense and a great love<br />
<strong>of</strong> God.<br />
\Vc sorrowed with many families during the past<br />
year, when loved ones passed away and rejoiced with<br />
others when they recovered from sickness or welcomed<br />
new babies.<br />
Before I close this report I \\o'ould like to take this<br />
opportunity to mention a numhcr <strong>of</strong> Auxiliary mcmbers<br />
who will be missing from our lists from now on.<br />
To some extent I feci this is the end <strong>of</strong> an era, as these<br />
families have been part <strong>of</strong> the life <strong>of</strong> Parade for 15 to<br />
20 years, many <strong>of</strong> their sons bringing honor to Parade<br />
while attending the College and the useful Itves they<br />
have led since.<br />
During 1973 Mesdames Collins, McNarmara, O'Shannessy,<br />
Franklin and McDonald retired and this year<br />
Mesdames Solomon, Niall, Entwistle and Barker. Mrs.<br />
Scott remains as Past President but her sons have passed<br />
through the College now. On behalf <strong>of</strong> all the Mothers<br />
at Parade 1 sincerely thank these Ladies for the time<br />
and enthusiasm they have given to the College in their<br />
many years <strong>of</strong> service, \\le hope they will continue with<br />
their interest, I personally have learnt a great deal from<br />
all these Ladies in the five years I have worked with<br />
them and will be glad <strong>of</strong> their advice in the future. We<br />
have a group <strong>of</strong> Past Mothers who sew for the Brothers<br />
every Month and a hard working group <strong>of</strong> Mothers who<br />
serve in the Tuck Shop each month under the expert<br />
guidance <strong>of</strong> Mrs. Hecker. The Auxiliary would find it<br />
hard to operate without the co-operation <strong>of</strong> the Office<br />
Staff <strong>of</strong> the College and the Teaching Staff.<br />
Finally, without the work and co-operation <strong>of</strong> an<br />
active committee I could not be writing this report, so<br />
my thanks to each and every committee member; you<br />
did indeed support me in every way. May God bless<br />
you all and may our boys finish the year on a successful<br />
note. Thank you. PAT MILROY, President<br />
IT'S ACADEMIC - 1974<br />
Again this year, Parade entered a team in the HIt's<br />
Academic" competition conducted by Channel 7. After<br />
a series <strong>of</strong> selection trials involving all members <strong>of</strong><br />
Form IV, llrother O'Byrne, the team supervisor, chose<br />
the final team - Maurice Ryan (Captain), Stephen De<br />
GraalT, Mark Blackley and Brendan Moller as the<br />
alternate. The team then trained together, with special<br />
attention centred on speed and concentration.<br />
The first round match saw us win nervously, but<br />
comfortably. In the second and third matches, we<br />
played marc cooly. but the SCOres correspondingly became<br />
much closer. A certain amount <strong>of</strong> luck was needed<br />
in getting up from behind in the last minute <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Series Final.<br />
In the State Final the scores \\fere not as close, but<br />
the pressure and competition were no less and we felt<br />
quite relieved after the match was over and we had<br />
collected the 52,500 worth <strong>of</strong> prizes.<br />
\Vinning the State Final enabled us to compete<br />
against the four other mainland states in the National<br />
Finals. In our heat, we gained second place \\o'hich<br />
allowed us to move into the final. In the final it was<br />
obvious that we had used up our share <strong>of</strong> luck in<br />
earlier rounds and we finished in third place.<br />
Throughout the whole series we were faithfully supported<br />
by a group <strong>of</strong> enthusiastic members <strong>of</strong> the school<br />
and \'v'C arc grateful to them for the way in which they<br />
gave us inspiration and consolation at different times<br />
during the competition.<br />
Unfortunately, we just missed out on a trip down<br />
the Thames. but coming third in a competition involving<br />
about 400 schools from all over Australia is an<br />
elTort to be proud <strong>of</strong> and says a lot for the elTort put<br />
in by Br. O'Byrne in the preparation <strong>of</strong> the team.<br />

A TRIBUTE TO STEPHEN GIBSON<br />
Steve Gibson was one <strong>of</strong> the greatest friends I ever<br />
had. His sudden and tragic death is a great loss to all<br />
those who knew him well. He was always ready to help<br />
his friends whenever he possibly could.<br />
Steve and I shared a great many things in these past<br />
few years, such as hobbies and school activities, both<br />
<strong>of</strong> which he Jived for. Steve was one <strong>of</strong> those people<br />
who was always trying to improve himself. He really<br />
put his hean into the rille team as he did with everything<br />
else.<br />
RON COON - Room 10<br />
A TRIBUTE TO PAUL BUSSELL<br />
We would like to record here a brief tribute to thc<br />
memory <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> our Form Three boys, tragically<br />
killed in a car accident on his way to school on June<br />
26th.<br />
Paul Bussell, aged 15 years, was a willing, quiet<br />
student and hclper in all that came his way. As class<br />
captain <strong>of</strong> his Form last year, he worked hard at the<br />
sometimes irksome duties involved. His neatness and<br />
care were relleeted in the blackboard headings he<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered to do for us in his own class, Room 12.<br />
Perhaps Paul's steady, easy approach as such did not<br />
stand out - his absence will make us more aware <strong>of</strong><br />
thc true friend and helper he was. His family spoke <strong>of</strong><br />
the many jobs he did around the house - <strong>of</strong>tcn unobtrusively.<br />
As one looks back, Paul's quiet efforts become<br />
clearer: he gave so much generously and without looking<br />
for any recognition.<br />
His classmates suggested money for a wreath be<br />
collected and a memento card, signed by the boys, was<br />
presented to the priest at the Procession <strong>of</strong> the Gifts<br />
during the Funeral Mass, This card rcad:<br />
"Rejoice always in the Lord and His loved ones.<br />
May Paul, our friend, rejoice in the Lord FOR<br />
EVER ...<br />
We have loved him in this life. May we, one day,<br />
rejoice with Paul in the life to come."<br />
It has also been decided to place a picture <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Crucified Christ at the front <strong>of</strong> the classroom that Paul<br />
\\1:15 a student in, with the small inscription:<br />
"To the memory <strong>of</strong> a friend and fellow student,<br />
Paul Bussell, who died as the result <strong>of</strong> a car<br />
accident on June 26th, 1974, aged 15 years.<br />
May he rejoice with the Lord forever."<br />
In the singing practice the Form Three classes had<br />
before the funeral, Mr. Hickey said that while in onc<br />
way it is a sad moment in the life <strong>of</strong> the school, we<br />
should rejoice that God has called one <strong>of</strong> our number<br />
to share the eternal life He has prepared for us all.<br />
This is our prayer.<br />
The most sriking characteristic <strong>of</strong> Stephen was bis<br />
gentleness. He never seemed to be moody and always<br />
managed to give a smile. Among his friends he was a<br />
uniter. Stephen was a giver. He put others first as a<br />
true Christian would.<br />
Stephen had an enthusiastic attitude towards Parade.<br />
He wasn't a stirrer like most <strong>of</strong> the rest <strong>of</strong> us. He was<br />
a keen participator in the school's Cadet and social<br />
activities. He was planning to attend the sergeants'<br />
course in December. He took the ballroom dancing<br />
class and thoroughly enjoyed our recent C<strong>of</strong>fee Night.<br />
He also went on all the school excursions; Dromana<br />
(Form I), Tasmania (Form 2) and Canberra (Form 3).<br />
He was an active member <strong>of</strong> his parish, St. Raphaels.<br />
He had given many years <strong>of</strong> service as an altar<br />
boy. Like us, he had many plans and ambitions for the<br />
future. He came from a really wonderful family and<br />
seemed to love life.<br />

Those <strong>of</strong> us who attended the funeral Mass <strong>of</strong><br />
Stephen Laurence Gibson could not have failed to be<br />
inspired by the sentiments <strong>of</strong> the above quotation. first<br />
penned by Alfred Delp.<br />
If such could be truly said about each and everyone<br />
<strong>of</strong> us, life would be the joy our dreamings yearn for.<br />
The preceding testimonies are an eloquent witness<br />
to the fact that Stephen's life had a joy and a meaning.<br />
We, who together with him made up the Parade<br />
community, are thankful that our drcamings have been<br />
given a little 1110rereality through the example <strong>of</strong> one<br />
who achieved so much in such a short space.<br />

PARADE BOYS' BIG EFFORT FOR OTHERS<br />
SI. Mary's<br />
Orphanage,<br />
103, Dum Dum Road,<br />
Calcutta 30,<br />
Nov.<br />
II tho<br />
Dear Brother McCarthy, Brothers and Boys,<br />
Brother Naughtin forwarded to me a few days ago,<br />
two cheques for 1000 dollars which he .aid were thc<br />
proceeds <strong>of</strong> your effort. on behalf <strong>of</strong> St. Mary's orphanage.<br />
I cannot find the right words to express our thanks,<br />
but I can say thi., that without help such as this from<br />
kind-hearted people like you, we would not be able to<br />
carry on. People keep on telling me that if God wants<br />
St. Mary's to continue He will provide the means. You<br />
and others like you without hcing aware <strong>of</strong> it are obviously<br />
thc instrumcnts <strong>of</strong> God. May God bless you all<br />
in a vcry .pecial way. We put the money to immediate<br />
u.e by purchasing a new cooker for the kitchen. The<br />
remainder will be used to pay the medical expenscs<br />
involved in the treatment <strong>of</strong> two boys who have deformed<br />
legs - they are Arthur Gomes aged cleven and<br />
Noel Dias aged twelve. I will send you a picture <strong>of</strong><br />
them as soon as I can lay hands on one. Arthur has<br />
come to us from Mother There.a. Noel'. father w",<br />
poisoned 1\vo years ago and the family arc in very poor<br />
circumstances since. Mother Theresa has lined up<br />
twelve newcomers for u. for IY75. She is a wonderful<br />
person and expects everybody else to be just as active<br />
on behalf <strong>of</strong> the poor. Her faith carries her through,<br />
but I am afraid that my faith is not quite as strong and<br />
we fret and worry when money runs short or runs out<br />
eomplctely. We have had some rcally extraordinary<br />
manifestations <strong>of</strong> the providence <strong>of</strong> God. This year, for<br />
instance, a bill for fees for two <strong>of</strong> our orphans who arc<br />
studying at the university, arrived by the morning mail.<br />
That evening a cheque arrived from overseas that just<br />
about covered the bill. Perhaps we are too close to<br />
things to see the working <strong>of</strong> God's hand.<br />
We are indebted in a special way to the boys <strong>of</strong> thc<br />
Brothers' schools in Australia for their help.<br />
Be assured that you will all have a big share in our<br />
prayers and Mass will be alTered for your intentions<br />
every \Vednesday morning.<br />
Our Lady <strong>of</strong> Perpetual Help is our Patron and we<br />
will ask her to care for you all in her own special way.<br />
Signed; (Brother) M. F. WALSH<br />
PRINCIPAL.<br />
FATHERS'<br />
ASSOCIATION<br />
During the past year the Fathers' Committee has<br />
been operating quietly and always ready to assist the<br />
College, the Mothers' Auxiliary or the boy. when required<br />
for assistance at school, sporting, social or fundraising<br />
activities.<br />
We have conducted feasibility studies as to the best<br />
procedure to improve facilities at the College Hall, in<br />
the kitchen area and provision <strong>of</strong> extra toilets. The<br />
master plan provides for additions to the Hall to provide<br />
for better catering facilities, but such additions<br />
could not be financed at this stage. Hence the necessity<br />
for studying alternatives if a more mod cst type and<br />
certain improvements may be carried out in the near<br />
future.<br />
The Annual Gencral Meeting <strong>of</strong> the Fathers was<br />
held in March and for our August General Meeting we<br />
had the pleasure <strong>of</strong> t.,e attendance <strong>of</strong> Mr. J. Brosnan<br />
who gave a very interesting talk which was enjoyed<br />
very much by all who attended.<br />
The annual cricket match, Fathers versus Brothers<br />
and StafT was again an outstanding event and enabled<br />
the fathers and teachers to get together under social<br />
conditions.<br />
The question <strong>of</strong> traffic signs in Plenty Road has been<br />
under frequent discussion and several letters have been<br />
exchanged by thc Fathers' Committee with the various<br />
Government authorities as well as with other educational<br />
estahlishments in the area, but so far to no avail.<br />
However, we consider we have a strong case for the<br />
shifting <strong>of</strong> the dc-restriction sign to a point on the north<br />
side <strong>of</strong> the Preston Institute <strong>of</strong> Technology. Furthcr<br />
pressures will be exerted in 1975, in an endeavour to<br />
reduce the danger from speeding cars and trucks at our<br />
main entrance.<br />
Brother McCarthy has been working with thc La<br />
Trobc University and the Preston Institute regarding<br />
thc qucstion <strong>of</strong> Public transport for the Bundoora area.<br />
In addition, the combined progress associations <strong>of</strong><br />
Preston are also concerned with the problem and arc<br />
calling an early meeting <strong>of</strong> all organizations in this area<br />
with a view to planning a campaign in 1975 for an<br />
extension <strong>of</strong> the East Preston tram and your Committee<br />
will be supporting this action.<br />
We believe that the transfcr 01 tbe College Specch<br />
Night back to a city hall whcrc thc entire school could<br />
be present on the onc night is a most desirable move<br />
and Fathers feel honoured to participate in thc Guard<br />
<strong>of</strong> Honour for ArchbIShop little.<br />
On November 24th, 87 Fathers and Friends beld a<br />
working bee in the College grounds. Fences were built,<br />
drains laid and repaired as well as many other neCessary<br />
works being. undertaken. Although \Vc only had<br />
onc big effort for the year, the result \\:as most pleasing.<br />
\Vith a College the size <strong>of</strong> Parade at Bundoora and<br />
with its acres <strong>of</strong> grounds containing several playing<br />
fields, there is quite a large vnlumc <strong>of</strong> maintenance<br />
continuously required, and this is the help the fathl'rs<br />
can provide for the Brothers and the hoys. Your Committee<br />
will, therefore, be looking for support from all<br />
fathers again in the coming year.<br />

School<br />
Council<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> February, the ceremony <strong>of</strong> installation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the School Council was carried out in the school<br />
gymnasium. The guest <strong>of</strong> Honour on the occasion was<br />
the Very Rev. Ronald Pickering, M.A., Parish Priest<br />
<strong>of</strong> Clayton. The parents and grand-parents <strong>of</strong> the students<br />
to be invested were also guests on the occasion<br />
and representatives <strong>of</strong> the Fathers' Association, the<br />
Ladies' Auxiliary and the Old Paradians Association.<br />
The Headmaster presented each member <strong>of</strong> Council<br />
to the assembly, read out the biography <strong>of</strong> his school<br />
achievements, and then invited Father Pickering to perform<br />
the investiture. Following upon this, Rev. Br. D.<br />
A. Sexton delivered an address on the subject <strong>of</strong> school<br />
leadership to which the newly appointed Captain, Lewis<br />
Derrico, responded. Both addresses were received with<br />
great warmth by members <strong>of</strong> the College.<br />
Father Pickering then addressed all. and at times he<br />
had his audience ringing with laughter and later deep<br />
in thought. He covered a fine range <strong>of</strong> ideas and did<br />
not spare the s<strong>of</strong>t-minded innovators <strong>of</strong> new ideas in<br />
moral and religious training.<br />
When the ceremony was over, the Ladies' Committee<br />
entertained all at a luncheon in the gym, at which<br />
parents, Council and guests all joined the Staff in a<br />
happy celebration <strong>of</strong> the occasion.<br />

OLD<br />
PARADIANS<br />
ASSOCIATION<br />
SPEECH GIVEN BY MR. KEVIN JOHNSTON,<br />
PRESIDENT OF THE OLD PARADIANS ASSO.<br />
CIATION AT THEIR I>IAMONI> JUBILEE<br />
I>INNER - 17TH AUGUST, 1974.<br />
My Lord Bishops, Rev. Fathers, Rev. Brothers,<br />
distinguished guests and friends <strong>of</strong> Parade, I would like<br />
to welcome you here tonight to our celcbration <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Diamond Jubilee <strong>of</strong> the foundation <strong>of</strong> the Old Paradians<br />
Association, as you've no doubt seen on your menus<br />
and the replica <strong>of</strong> thc first page <strong>of</strong> the Advocate, the<br />
Association was formed in April, 1914 and as the original<br />
Advocate states the objects <strong>of</strong> this association is<br />
to foster the religious, intellectual and social life <strong>of</strong> its<br />
members.<br />
We welcome you here tonight to eelcbrate our Diamond<br />
Jubilee and with us tonight we have many distinguished<br />
guests. Our first Old Paradian Bishop,<br />
13ishop Fox, our latest Old Paradian Bishop, Ilishop<br />
Kelly, our spiritual director. Fr. Tough, Ilr. Naughtin<br />
who is the Provincial for St. Patricks Province, Brother<br />
Garvey who is an M.B.E. a constant friend <strong>of</strong> Parade<br />
and without his help Parade would not bc on this site<br />
right now. Thc gucst speaker for tonight, Br. McCarthy.<br />
Br. McCarthy is the Principal <strong>of</strong> Parade at the prescnt<br />
time and also holds the distinction <strong>of</strong> being the first<br />
Old Paradian Principal <strong>of</strong> Parade. Mr. and Mrs. Frank<br />
Mount. The reason for Mr. Mount's attendance at the<br />
main table tonight will heeome evident later on in the<br />
night. Its very seldom we have Frank shackled to the<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficial table. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Rush are with us<br />
tonight. Leo Rush was a memher <strong>of</strong> the first Old<br />
Paradians Committee and we arc very honoured to have<br />
him here tonight. Sprinkled throughout the hall wc<br />
have Brothers who arc teaching at Parade, Bundoora<br />
and at the Parade Preparatory College. I won't distinguish<br />
between them because its all one Parade, we are<br />
in separate areas, but it's still all one Collcge.<br />
The Association over the last 60 years has had many<br />
distinguished members and it is unfortunate that some<br />
are apologies this evening. Ted Gaynor whose name<br />
you will see, if you arc able to read thc finc print on<br />
the menu cover was one <strong>of</strong> the first committee members<br />
and is a Gallipoli veteran. Hc is physically unable<br />
to be herc tonight. Bob Rush is also unable to be herc.<br />
Tim Hardyman the first treasurer <strong>of</strong> the Association<br />
is unfortunately too ill to leave his sick bed. Tom<br />
Clearly, former President. Vin Corby former Secretary,<br />
Frank Walsh and Tim Tierny are very stauoch Old<br />
Paradians, but arc unable to be here tonight and send<br />
thcir apologies.<br />
The Association has flourished over the last 60 years<br />
and with a lot <strong>of</strong> help from its friends in turn it has<br />
been able to assist the College we hope to a marked degree.<br />
Flowerdele the Preparatory College was a gift <strong>of</strong><br />
the Old Paradians to the Ilrothcrs. The shift from East<br />
<strong>Melbourne</strong> to Bundoora was assisted quite largely by<br />
the parents <strong>of</strong> the Collcge at the time and the Old<br />
Paradians. We hope that this shift to Ilundoora is our<br />
fioal move. Over thc 60 years the Association has<br />
sevcral <strong>of</strong>fshoots into the sporting ficld, the Football<br />
Club was the first club to be formed. If you look<br />
around the hall you can sec the trophies that attest to<br />
their success. The Athletic Club, most <strong>of</strong> their banners<br />
are either in amongst the Football Club or on the back<br />
wall. They have ten teams and are reasonably successful.<br />
The Ski Club unfortunately does not have the<br />
expertise or the members to compete in competitions,<br />
but what we have been able to do is build a ski lodge<br />
at Ml. Buller. The latest addition to our sporting clubs<br />
arc the two cricket teams. These were started last year<br />
and whilst not premiers, they were successful for the<br />
first term anyway. The Old Paradians Association for<br />
years has been hampered by the lack <strong>of</strong> finance to do<br />
the projects we would dearly love to do, such as assisting<br />
the College in its financial needs, scholarships,<br />
sending worthy members <strong>of</strong> the College to the Outward<br />
Bounu Organization so that we can add to the numbers<br />
<strong>of</strong> Icaders that the Old Paradians have given to <strong>Melbourne</strong><br />
and to Australia as a whole.<br />
With this in mind, it bccame obvious appealing for<br />
money was going out <strong>of</strong> style. Everybody was appealing<br />
for money. The immediate past President, my<br />
predecessor, Rene Stella formulated an idea. Instead <strong>of</strong><br />
asking for money we should start earniog money, hence<br />
the Compaoy "Edarap" was formed. You might say a<br />
strange name, bUI if you look at Parade closely, you'll<br />
see that it's Paradc spelt backwards.<br />
The recent Old Boys, mainly the Old Boys <strong>of</strong> the<br />
College since it moved to Bundoora, have again shown<br />
the traditions and the spirit that belongcd to the Old<br />
Paradians Associaion. These young Old Paradians arc<br />
returning to the College to help with tutorials in the<br />
senior school and this I think is a very healthy sign for<br />
the Association and a sign that the Association is alive<br />
and flourishing. Unfortunately some <strong>of</strong> our kindred<br />
Associations are feeling the strain <strong>of</strong> modern entertainment.<br />
I don't know what the causc <strong>of</strong> it is, but some <strong>of</strong><br />
them arc finding it very hard to continue. I hope the<br />
Old Paradians success continues to overcome this problem<br />
and to expand their effcctiveoess into other fields.<br />
We hope the firm <strong>of</strong> "Edarap" when fully extended will<br />
allow us to accomplish this.<br />
I take this opportunity <strong>of</strong> thanking my committee.<br />
You can imagine the \\o'ork in organizing a function like<br />
this is tremendous and I am very, very fortunate to<br />
have an active committee. I also take this opportunity<br />
to thank the previous Presidents many <strong>of</strong> whom arc in<br />
the gathering t01ight and their committees without<br />
whose work none <strong>of</strong> us would be here tonight.<br />
The old school tic to the Old Paradians means<br />
assisting Old Paradians, I don't think it is merely taken<br />
as a mcasure <strong>of</strong> social standing and I hope that io years<br />
to come, the Old Paradians can further this so that<br />
we can become an even greater Association.

1st XI 1974<br />
Several practice matches were played during 3rd<br />
tenn 1973, to enable the strongest possible side to be<br />
chosen for 1974. In December 1973, Gerard Frost<br />
and Andrew Donahue were chosen to represent the<br />
the AC.e. in the Victoriao Schoolboys' Carnival.<br />
Gerard was elected captain <strong>of</strong> the AC.C. team.<br />
The team for the first match in 1974 was:<br />
Gerard Frost (Captain), Bill Twomey (Vice-Capt.),<br />
Mark Godfrey (Deputy Vice-Capt.), Andrew Donahue,<br />
Paul Brennan, Mark Lippiatt, Dirk Ebert, Gavan Renwick,<br />
Sam Calcagno, Michael Adams, Gerard Cooper,<br />
Anthony Smith (12th Man), Anthony Marshall<br />
(Manager).<br />
The opening game against North <strong>Melbourne</strong> was<br />
won outright by Parade after some very anxious<br />
moments. Bill Twomey (7/25) took the honours when<br />
North <strong>Melbourne</strong> were dismissed for 62. Parade batted<br />
and declared at 5/81 (G. Frost 41, W. Twomey 17).<br />
In North <strong>Melbourne</strong>'s second innings, G. Frost (4/10),<br />
S. Calcagno (3/19) and W. Twomey (2/17) were the<br />
main wicket takers. Michael Adams kept wickets very<br />
well with three catches. They were all out for 64.<br />
Requiring only 45 runs for victory, Parade lost eight<br />
wickets before passing the target score.<br />
At Braybrook, Parade was sent in to bat, declaring<br />
at five o'clock at 6/208. Bill Twomey's hard-hitting<br />
68, Dirk Ebert's graceful 60 and Mark Godfrey's<br />
welcome 40, formed the basis <strong>of</strong> a big total. Braybrook<br />
was dismissed for 46 in their 1st innings and 56 in the<br />
second innings. Sam Calcagno (5/8) and Bill Twomey<br />
(3/34) were the destroyers in the first innings and, in<br />
the second innings, wickets went to Mark Godfrey<br />
(3/19), Anthony Smith (2/7 from six overs), Mark<br />
Lippiatt (2/20) and Gerard Cooper (1/4). The latter's<br />
brilliant catch in this match was a highlight <strong>of</strong> the<br />
season.<br />
The final match against Essendon, revealed again<br />
the brittleness <strong>of</strong> the batsmen against swing bowling.<br />
It had shown up against North <strong>Melbourne</strong> and was<br />
repeated again in the final against St. Kilda. In a oneday<br />
match, Essendon scored 5/127 in their 25 oversperiod<br />
(Gerard Frost 3/29). Parade were dismissed<br />
for 108 (Frost, 31, Godfrey 24).<br />
In the final against St. Kilda, played at Royal Park,<br />
Parade were bundled out for 41. It was a disastrous<br />
innings. After reaching 15 without loss, Captain Gerard<br />
Frost was run out for 9. We then lost 8/13 as the<br />
wickets crashed against fine bowling. Andrew Donahue<br />
scored 24 not out - he opened the innings and batted<br />
right through. As mentioned before, Frost made 9,<br />
extras were 4, so we have nine batsmen contributing<br />
four runs! A great fight back saw St. Kilda 7/61 at<br />
lunch. but their remaining batsmen carried the score to<br />
124. Best bowlers were G. Frost 4/33 and S. Calcagno<br />
3/28. Congratulations to St. Kilda on a fine win.<br />
Gerard Frost (again Captain) and Paul Brennan have<br />
been chosen to represent the Ae.e. in the 1974<br />
Schoolboys' Carnival.<br />
On behalf <strong>of</strong> the team, I would like to thank Br.<br />
Stewart for determined qualities he instilled into the<br />
team.<br />

Expectations <strong>of</strong> a successful season were dashed<br />
when we failed to clinch victory in the first match. The<br />
remaining matches were won comfortably, Ieav!og<br />
Parade in second position in the Northern zone. Battmg<br />
and fielding were the team's strengths, while the bowling<br />
was good but inconsistent. Craig Considine ably Icd<br />
the team, assisted by Paul Kennedy. Chris Conroy and<br />
Vin Heagerty were sound and reliable batsmen, Kevin<br />
G:eeson and Michael Owen the best bowlers.<br />

13A CRICKET<br />
Although the side failed to score a victory, the<br />
boys played with much enthusiasm and showed great<br />
improvement as the games progressed. Inexperience<br />
cast us one or two games that otherwise we might have<br />
won.<br />
In the batting, Phil Hammond, Tony Browne and<br />
Pat Toner showed they could develop into good<br />
batsmen.<br />
Phil Hammond, Darryn Synon, Peter Wood and<br />
Mike Flynn, showed good potential.<br />
Thanks to the Dads who followed us right through<br />
the season, despite OUf failure to win.<br />

14B FOOTBALL<br />
As a large number <strong>of</strong> boys were keen to represent<br />
the College in the ClSA Saturday morning competition<br />
this year, an under 14B team was formed. In excess<br />
<strong>of</strong> 30 boys played for the team throughout the season<br />
with 28 <strong>of</strong> them qualifying for a place in the final's<br />
team. The team played reasonable football early in the<br />
season but as time went by, it became obvious that the<br />
players were moulding themselves into a formidable<br />
combination. The highlight <strong>of</strong> the season was the<br />
team's tremendous performance in the grand final.<br />
Coming from behind in the last quarter against the<br />
wind, the team inspired all <strong>of</strong> those present with their<br />
hard battling football. With only two minutes remaining,<br />
they were only five points behind, but Essendon<br />
held on strongly to finally win and leave Parade as<br />
'runners-up' for the season. Special thanks to Messrs.<br />
Kissane, Chisholm, Norton, Jones, Baekway, She ather<br />
and Caddy for their support during the year and a<br />
special word <strong>of</strong> appreciation to Mrs. McBrearty for her<br />
untiring support and dedication. Everyone would finally<br />
like to thank Mr. Considine for his help as home-games<br />
umpire.<br />

13A FOOTBALL<br />
After starting the season slowly, the team began to<br />
develop good, play-on football and made improvements<br />
in leaps and bounds as the season progressed. The<br />
team finished fourth on the ladder, winning five games<br />
and losing five.<br />
Tony Todaro gave many good displays from the<br />
centre and won the best and fairest by one vote from<br />
Frank Gleeson. Frank gave some brilliant roving displays<br />
during the season. Mark Garrard showed tremendous<br />
determination and gave the side great drive.<br />
He won the most determined .award. Most Improved<br />
award went to Michael Flynn. Michael never stopped<br />
trying in all games and this resulted in improvement in<br />
ruck work and marking. Mark Wilson won the best<br />
Team Man Award. Mark was shifted into many positions<br />
and still gave <strong>of</strong> his best for the team. Tha!,ks<br />
to Brian Ireland (Captain) and Peter Mulholland (V,ee-<br />
Capt.), for their leadership and service. Thanks to the<br />
rest <strong>of</strong> the team for an enjoyable season. A last vote<br />
<strong>of</strong> thanks goes to the Dads who supported the team<br />
as <strong>of</strong>ten as they could. Looking forward to a premiership<br />
next year! !<br />

The team began the year with much enthusia.m and<br />
eagerness. It was realised very early in the season that<br />
OUf chances <strong>of</strong> reaching the grand final were remote,<br />
and so a policy was adopted <strong>of</strong> trying out all boys<br />
interested in football; consequently, over 30 boys took<br />
part in the C.J .S.A. competition.<br />
Many thanks to the parents who regularly supported<br />
the team during the fixture. Congratulations to all members<br />
for their school spirit in playing for their College<br />
each Saturday morning.<br />

Owing to such a large number <strong>of</strong> boys being prepared<br />
to play for their College, in the under thirteen<br />
age group, the thirds team was organized on a social<br />
game basis, playing Colleges from St. Kilda, Malvern,<br />
Alphington and Sunbury. A feature <strong>of</strong> the team was the<br />
manner in which it played in all games, never giving<br />
in or conceding defeat. Some good talent wa. discovered,<br />
especially among the younger boys, who, hopefully<br />
will be able to gain selection next year in the<br />
under thirteen firsts.<br />
Thanks are expressed to the parents who supported<br />
the team and to each boy who played for his College.<br />

Basketball<br />
1974 BASKETBALL REPORT<br />
Basketball has prospered once again in school<br />
activities this year. We have proved again that Parade<br />
is a formidable opponent for all teams in the C. Y .M.S.<br />
competition.<br />
We have grown from three teams in 1973 to nine<br />
teams in this third term 1974. This year we managed<br />
to achieve 10 finals places over all 4 grades: u/13,<br />
u/14, u/15, u/16. This is due to the combined efforts<br />
<strong>of</strong> Mr. A. Aulsebrook and Br. Boonen. These two<br />
men gave up a considerable amount <strong>of</strong> their time after<br />
school and at weekends to help us reach our full<br />
potential. There must be special thanks to all the supporters<br />
and coaches, in particular, Mr. Pizaro and Mrs.<br />
McBrearty for their most generous efforts towards our<br />
achievements so far. We arc proud this year to have<br />
constructed four basketball rings, all due to the most<br />
outstanding efforts <strong>of</strong> Br. Boonen. These arc the only<br />
kinds <strong>of</strong> their type in Australia, making them quite<br />
unique.<br />
By next year we hope to have the second stage <strong>of</strong><br />
his programme completed - rings in the hall. We now<br />
have no excuses for finals failure.<br />
Not only have we increased in the Junior, but we<br />
also have an Open Age team - OPUS, playing at<br />
Coburg and a girls' U/ 18 team, - BLUEJA YS playing<br />
at Albert Park on a Saturday afternoon. They haven't<br />
been as successful as the Juniors, but this could only<br />
be a lack <strong>of</strong> experience at playing together. Once again,<br />
thanks to all concerned.<br />
S. GARRARD<br />
Athletics<br />
Inclement weather during the third term did not<br />
permit the holding <strong>of</strong> full scale athletic championships<br />
this year. As only a limited number <strong>of</strong> events could be<br />
held, performances in inter-school meets and the A.C.C.<br />
were used in helping to decide the champion athletes<br />
for 1974.<br />
These were:<br />

Under 17<br />
Under 16<br />

PRINCIPAL'S<br />
REPORT<br />
PARADE PREPARATORY COLLEGE 1974<br />
"Then on September 3rd, 1952, Mr. Tom Cleary<br />
LL.B. phoned to tell <strong>of</strong> the impending sale <strong>of</strong> a property<br />
on Darebin Creek, which, to his mind, was the<br />
answer to our problems."<br />
This sentence may be found on page 2 <strong>of</strong> a manuscript,<br />
the flyleaf <strong>of</strong> which proclaims:<br />
"Annals <strong>of</strong> Parade Preparatory Collcge,<br />
Founded: August 21 st, 1952.<br />
Presented to the Christian Brothers by<br />
The Old Paradians Association<br />
in memory <strong>of</strong> the Pioneer Brothers <strong>of</strong> Parade<br />
and the ex-pupils <strong>of</strong> the College who were<br />
killed in World Wars I & 11."<br />
On October 1st 1974, Mr. Thomas Cleary went to<br />
his eternal reward. Although our sense <strong>of</strong> loss is indeed<br />
great, our faith tells us that he is watching over our<br />
school in a way that is even more a source <strong>of</strong> blessing,<br />
than his devoted labour, his remarkable generosity and<br />
his zealous concern during his lifetime. The boys formed<br />
a guard <strong>of</strong> honour outside the Church <strong>of</strong> Mary Immaculate<br />
in honour <strong>of</strong> this great man who liked to call himself<br />
"the fifth memher <strong>of</strong> the Flowerdale community."<br />
Our prayers arc answered and he rests in peace.<br />
During the year a work <strong>of</strong> monumental proportion<br />
was undertaken and completed by the Parents and<br />
Friends <strong>of</strong> the school. I refer to the removal and reerection<br />
in Alphington <strong>of</strong> the R.S.L. hall which had<br />
been standing on railway property at the Heidelberg<br />
station. Seven months <strong>of</strong> week-end working bees entailing<br />
thousands <strong>of</strong> man-hours <strong>of</strong> labour, and donations<br />
both small and large, have brought to completion a<br />
hall which is not only <strong>of</strong> immense functional value but<br />
which is also a graceful addition to the pleasant surroundings<br />
<strong>of</strong> Flowcrdale.<br />
This new hall will always remain a tribute to the<br />
Fathers and Friends <strong>of</strong> 1974. The committee <strong>of</strong> this<br />
auxiliary body is deserving <strong>of</strong> a special mention. The<br />
president for 1974 was Mr. Brian McInerney, the secretary<br />
was Mr. Barry Scully, the treasurer was Mr. Bob<br />
Bentley together with Messrs. Lance Phillips, Des<br />
Renehan, Peter Barry, Owen Abrahams and Ge<strong>of</strong>f<br />
Smith.<br />
In March the Ladies Auxiliary joined the Fathers<br />
and a special committee was formed to manage the<br />
annual fete and barbcque. The executive committee<br />
who worked so capably to bring about yet another<br />
eminently successful venture was president, Mr. C.<br />
Sassella, secretary, Mrs. Noelle Treppo and treasurer,<br />
Mr. A. Bendall.<br />
The Ladies' Auxiliary held their usual round <strong>of</strong><br />
functions which are enjoyed and supported by so many<br />
throughout the year. To mention a few <strong>of</strong> the outstanding<br />
events during the year; the Fashion Parade,<br />
the Fancy Dress Supper Dance at Bundoora and the<br />
Progressive Dinner quickly come to mind.
Among the students, a highlight <strong>of</strong> the year has been<br />
the Camp Week. I cannot speak too highly <strong>of</strong> the value<br />
<strong>of</strong> this week. The boys <strong>of</strong> Gr. V went to Shoreham;<br />
Gr. VI Green went on tour to Gippsland and Wilson's<br />
Promontory; Gr. VI Blue went to the Grampians; For<br />
Form I the tour headed to Swan Hill and Mildura; and<br />
Form II went to the Conference Centre at Tallangatta.<br />
To the staff members and parents who volunteered to<br />
help with supervision I <strong>of</strong>fer my thanks.<br />
Cultural activities undertaken during the year included<br />
visits to the Art Gallery by Form II students;<br />
a visit by Form I to SI. Vincent's Boys' Home, South<br />
<strong>Melbourne</strong>, a short time after the centenary celebrations<br />
marking 100 years <strong>of</strong> work there by the Christian<br />
Brothers; the Grade VI's debated against Sts. Peter &<br />
Paul's, East Doncaster; and Grade V gave an exhibition<br />
<strong>of</strong> projects on the Kalgoorlie Goldfields and the early<br />
development <strong>of</strong> Kalgoorlie.<br />
Our sporting teams met with a generous share <strong>of</strong><br />
success. Three cricket teams won premierships: The<br />
Under 13 B managed by Mr, J. Mullane, captained by<br />
Peter Canavan; The Under 12 A managed by Rev. Br.<br />
Feain and captained by Peter Cashen; The Under 12 B-<br />
managed by Messrs. T. Smith and P. Nelson and captained<br />
by Stephen J. Smith. Four football teams played<br />
in the grand-finals and two <strong>of</strong> these were victorious: The<br />
Under 12 A managed by Rev. Br. F. Feain and captained<br />
by Jeff Breeding; and Under 12 B managed by<br />
Mr. J. Carmody and captained by Michael Wood. In<br />
the first term Basketball competition our two Under 12<br />
teams played each other for the premiership with Terry<br />
Twomey's team emerging as victors. At present in the<br />
third term two teams have reached the tinals: The<br />
Under 12 A led by Terence Prendergast and the Under<br />
14 team led by Peter Bentley. Our top tennis team led<br />
by Stephen Fahey was successful in winning its section<br />
in each <strong>of</strong> the three competitions, although unable to<br />
take <strong>of</strong>f a section final.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the highlights <strong>of</strong> our religious life at school<br />
this ycar was the return <strong>of</strong> the newly ordained old boys:<br />
Rev. Fr. Grant O'Neill and Rev. Fr. John Miles;' It is<br />
certainly very heartening to witness the ordinations <strong>of</strong><br />
old boys <strong>of</strong> Parade each year especially in these troubled<br />
times. This year also saw three Old Paradians commencing<br />
their teaching careers as Christian Brothers:<br />
Brs. F. Cauchi, R. Mandile and P. Hudson.<br />
Finally, I would like to thank and congratulate the<br />
staff <strong>of</strong> the school for a magnificent year's work - Rev.<br />
Br. K. E. Duckworth who acted as principal for the<br />
tirst six months <strong>of</strong> the year; Br. F. Feain who stood in<br />
for the first two terms and was subsequently transferred<br />
to Aquinas College, Ringwood; Br. J. O'Shannassy and<br />
Br. F. Cauehi who have worked so well and happily<br />
in the primary. Mr. 1. Bibby over the ycars has become<br />
part and parcel <strong>of</strong> school life at Alphington and Bundoora<br />
and thrives on hard work. Mr. W. Bottriell has<br />
titted well into the position left vacant when Mr. S.<br />
Ogilvie left us last year. Mr Boltriell's talent, especially<br />
in the fields <strong>of</strong> music and sport, has made him a very<br />
welcome newcomer to our staff. Mrs. D. Moloney became<br />
the Religious Education co-ordinator for the<br />
school this year and went about her task with her usual<br />
dedication and energy. Miss P. Rooney never ccases<br />
to surprise us with her new ideas and her talents. Her<br />
concert items with Gr. VI Green have become features<br />
<strong>of</strong> our concerts and this year the Annual Billy-cart<br />
Derby was featured in a daily newspaper. Mrs. G. Vermont<br />
maintains her fresh approach to art and keeps<br />
the school library running elTectively. Messrs. J. Foster<br />
and F. Russell have been dedicated in their fields <strong>of</strong><br />
Physical Education and Speech and Drama.<br />
Two members <strong>of</strong> our school community whose value<br />
could never be estimated are Mrs, Pauline Twomey,<br />
whose calm and cheerful efficiency in the <strong>of</strong>fice is an<br />
inspiration to us all, and Mrs. Frances Kennedy who<br />
keeps house for the Brothers and cheers the whole staff<br />
with her hot soup during the cold weather. To these<br />
also I wish to express publicly my sincere gratitude.<br />
I thank Almighty God for all the blessings <strong>of</strong> 1974<br />
and renew my prayers for the coming year.<br />
I pray to the patroness <strong>of</strong> Parade, Mary Immaeu1ate,<br />
and ask a Mother's blessing upon all connected in any<br />
way with Parade Preparatory College.<br />

CLASS<br />
NOTES<br />
We commenced the year with two new teachers. Mr.<br />
Ogilvie. our Class Master in 1973 was replaced by Mr.<br />
Bottriell, and Hr. Howell, who was studying in Rome<br />
was replaced by Mrs. Reynolds who taught us Maths.<br />
The first term was broken by weekly trips to the<br />
swimming pool when the weather was line. On some<br />
days, the teachers had trouble getting us out <strong>of</strong> the pool,<br />
and on other days. they couldn't get us in! We were<br />
represented in the Intcr School Swimming by Peter<br />
Bentley, Simon Purcell, Fred Vanderslik and John<br />
Williams.<br />
In the meantime, we were enduring the agony <strong>of</strong><br />
work in school and had thc uneasy fceling we were<br />
working far too hard for our age and health I<br />
Aftcr Easter, football commenced, following a successful<br />
cricket season during which we had 15 representatives<br />
in teams. \Vith few exceptions, everyone in<br />
the Class was a member <strong>of</strong> a football or basketball (or<br />
both) team. The floods in May prevented us from using<br />
the School ovals, and our Sports afternoons varied<br />
according to the weather. \Vc have become experts at<br />
hand-lennis, vollcy-ball, basketball (our own rules!)<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tball (no rules!), cross-country and labloid sports.<br />
It was good to see so many <strong>of</strong> the class presented with<br />
pennants for representing the School in a team. Meanwhile,<br />
Br. Howell had returned to resume teaching us<br />
Maths. and Biblical Studies. We were all pleased to see<br />
him back with us, and felt that perhaps Br. Duckworth<br />
was more pleased than any <strong>of</strong> us! After Br. Howell's<br />
visit to the Holy Land, Biblical Sludies has "come<br />
alive"!<br />
The sccond tcrm passed quickly, and after one wcek<br />
<strong>of</strong> the third term, the long-awaited trip to Tallangatta<br />
arrived. It will be a long time before we forget this<br />
year's excursion. While most <strong>of</strong> Victoria was drenched<br />
with rain, we enjoyed glorious spring weather at Tallangatta.<br />
While others were being swept away or blown<br />
apart by the weather, wc lived comfortably, ate enormously<br />
and slcpt soundly (for a few hours, anyway!). In<br />
addition to our Class Teachers, we were fortunate to<br />
have Mr. McCreesh and Mr. Pcndry with us, and we<br />
receivcd great help and a wealth <strong>of</strong> information from<br />
the Rev. John McCahan and the naturalists, Margaret<br />
and Bob. We were happy to return at the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
week without any serious mishap or accident, although<br />
there were a few occasions when some <strong>of</strong> us really tried<br />
hard to cause a sensation!<br />
The third term seems to have gone very quickly, and<br />
we have been working really hard to prepare for a<br />
serics <strong>of</strong> weekly tests. Concert practice has occupied<br />
the time <strong>of</strong> those in the School Choir, and we have<br />
about half the class appearing on the stage for the<br />
Annual Brcak-up.<br />
As this will be our final year at Alphington, we<br />
would like to express our sincere thanks to all members<br />
<strong>of</strong> the staff who have helped to make our time in the<br />

CLASS NOTES<br />
Farewell to Alphington. We have corne, finally to the<br />
end <strong>of</strong> the year, 1974. The students <strong>of</strong> Form 2 Bluc<br />
have had a great year despite the hard work we have<br />
been given by the teachers. Most <strong>of</strong> us have been at<br />
Parade Alphington for 3 or 4 years - we have enjoyed<br />
it and are sorry to be leaving it.<br />
The event <strong>of</strong> greatest interest for us this year was the<br />
Tallangatta Camp during a week in September. The<br />
two main purposes <strong>of</strong> the camp were: To live together<br />
in a truly Christian way; to study the environment <strong>of</strong><br />
Tallangatta. I enjoyed studying the development <strong>of</strong> the<br />
local breed <strong>of</strong> beef cattle known as Murray Greys and<br />
I was also interested in aspects <strong>of</strong> natural science dealings<br />
with marsupials. birds and flora, especially the<br />
wild orchids.<br />
During the third term we have had our sights set on<br />
Government Scholarships and so we have been working<br />
hard. Our sporting activities sulTered a setback during<br />
the year when the ovals were flooded. As the year<br />
progressed the new hall continued to takc shape - it<br />
is a pity we have such few opportunities to usc it before<br />
we leave Alphington.<br />
Finally, I wish to thank the stalT for the terrific job<br />
they did throughout the year - it was much appreciated.<br />

In the period when Dr. Howell was in Rome, Br.<br />
Feain carne to Alphington and became our English<br />
teacher. He also coached many <strong>of</strong> us at cricket and<br />
football. At these sports (Under 12) we won Premierships.<br />
Br. Feain also looked aftcr us at Sports afternoons.<br />
Unfortunately, llr, Feain was transferred later<br />
in the year. We hope he has settled in at his new school.<br />
Form One Green alTers its thanks to Brother for his<br />
care <strong>of</strong> us.<br />
This year we had several new boys in our class and<br />
as one <strong>of</strong> thcm says: "When I arrived at Parade I<br />
thought it woold be very strict. But after a short time<br />
I realised it was a belter school than my previous one.<br />
There is a tremendous atmosphere <strong>of</strong> friendliness<br />
among all at Parade Prep."<br />
Our mission elTort this year will be over $500 which<br />
we hope will help those who arc working for Christ in<br />
poor countries. One <strong>of</strong> our special efforts was a games<br />
afternoon in the Hall organised and run by Martin<br />
Lnby. This raised nearly $19. Also a projected elTort<br />
will be a games afternoon at Anthony DeBolfo's horne.<br />
In the sporting field our class contributed its share<br />
to the sports <strong>of</strong> swimming, cricket, football, tennis,<br />
basketball and athletics. Most important, we learnt<br />
from our various coaches, how to lose in the right spirit.

During the third term, our class travelled to Swan<br />
Hill under the care <strong>of</strong> Mr. I. Bibby and some <strong>of</strong> the<br />
boys' fathers. We spent a week away camping, eating,<br />
sightseeinl' and learning together.<br />
In August, Mrs. l\-loloney organised a visit by our<br />
class to a Jewish Synagogue in Kew. Rabbi Fox showed<br />
us around and told us about the !lible. He also showed<br />
us some scrolls, and explained the symbolism <strong>of</strong> the<br />
pictures around the walls.<br />

a Happy Christmas and a bright New Year.<br />

NOTES<br />
In the change from primary to secondary, we noticed<br />
many differences. Work became harder and more was<br />
expected <strong>of</strong> liS. It was an important part in our lives<br />
because our life depends on the next few years.<br />
Our mission total this year, in which we hope to<br />
raise $550, has not only been due to some gencrous<br />
boys, but to Br. Duckworth for using his valuable timc.<br />
Special efforts \••.. ere held to raise money for the missions.<br />
A pool party at Anthony Farrell's house provided enjoyment<br />
for us all as well as raising $ I6.50 for the missions.<br />
Once we were asked to make a special effort and<br />
we raised $31.00.<br />
During the year, we weren't very lucky as far as<br />
weather was concerned. Because our ovals were flooded,<br />
we went to Bundoora to play the Form One's there.<br />
We all enjoyed beating them at football, basketball and<br />
tennis, but not many enjoyed being beaten at baseball<br />
and soccer. Many pupils in our class represented P.P.C.<br />
in different sports:- tennis, football, cricket, basketball,<br />
swimming, cross-country and athletics.<br />
This year, Form I went for a tour around Swan Hill<br />
and Mildura. Some <strong>of</strong> the highlights <strong>of</strong> the camp were<br />
the Sound and Light Exhibition, Sovereign Hill, Pioneer<br />
Settlement and the paddle steamer ride on the Murray.<br />
It would not have been possible without the help <strong>of</strong> Mr.<br />
Bihby and the fathers, Mr. A. Jones, Mr. A. McCarthy,<br />
Mr. T. Smith, Mr. B. Mullany who supervised.<br />
Another annual event was the fishing weekend at<br />
Fraser National Park on Eildon Weir. At this weekend,<br />
fathers and sons got together and had a really great<br />
time. More rcdnn were caught than trout. Many red<br />
kangaroos were sighted from the campsite. It was most<br />
enjoyable for all who went.<br />
\Ve would like to thank our parents for giving us the<br />
opportunity to allow us to grow up in this school community<br />
and we trust that we will repay them for their<br />
en'ort hy hecoming good catholic gentlemen.<br />

The year started by the old boys meeting the new<br />
boys. After settling in, we got down to hard work and<br />
many outings which we all enjoyed. Our first project<br />
was Paleontology which is the study <strong>of</strong> pre-historic<br />
animals. Our next project was Oil - part one and two.<br />
This incorpurated the making <strong>of</strong> oil rigs and the ans\veriog<br />
<strong>of</strong> many hard questions which we answered with<br />
the greatest <strong>of</strong> case. This brought up the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first term.<br />
The first activity in second term \Vas our Ned Kelly<br />
day in which we visited the Old <strong>Melbourne</strong> Gaol and<br />
all our subjects were connected with Ncu Kelly and<br />
several small plays. \"Ie then visited Parliament House<br />
in which we sat in the seats and learnt about the Legislative<br />
Council and Assembly. On the 4th July we<br />
celebrated American Independance Day - we dressed<br />
as Americans in which Michael Thomas won the prize<br />
when he came as the Statue <strong>of</strong> Liberty. It linished with<br />
a meal <strong>of</strong> corn on the cob ami frankfurts. Our Post<br />
Oflicc assignment consisted <strong>of</strong> three outings connected<br />
with the Post Office. We also dressed up as different<br />
inventors for Science.<br />
\Ve started 3rd term with the camp where our class<br />
went for a Gippsland Tour which weill for 5 days. We<br />
went to such places as Moe to sec the Open Cut Coal<br />
Mine, then to Sale for the night and then to an Oil<br />
Refinery and Museum. Further on to the Ninety Mile<br />
Beach then to \Vilson's Promontory for two nights, then<br />
to Lcongatha to see the Butter Factory. We went to<br />
Phillip Island which was our last place, then <strong>of</strong>f to<br />
sch.ool to our pare.nts. Six Green also went icc skating<br />
whIch everyone enjoyed. Then we had our Speech !'light<br />
which was a success for everyone in the "Adventures<br />
<strong>of</strong> Tom Sawyer". All together we had a fantastic year.<br />

CLASS<br />
l'OOTES<br />
Both pupils and teacher began the year as novices,<br />
however it was not long before the settling-in process<br />
began to take clTcct. This year's Grade 5 boys were<br />
energetic in their response to their school life. The camp<br />
at Shoreham was a prime example <strong>of</strong> this, with cheerful<br />
willingness to co-operate whenever the need arose.<br />
\Vhencver tests <strong>of</strong> manliness and Christlike qualities<br />
arose throughout the year the group showed that they<br />
casily qualil1cd for these worthwhile characteristics.<br />
Each group helped in the daily work around the camp<br />
With zeal and determmatlon - one group even refused<br />
to stop till the job was complete (having already worked<br />
for an hour). This zeal and friendliness was not lacking<br />
in the camp staff, where my work was tremendously<br />
lightened by thdr pleasant company and hard work,<br />
cheerfully and efficiently carried out by Mrs. Elsa Pertile,<br />
Mrs. Va. Kissane and Br. Duckworth.<br />
Activities on the Shoreham camp were whittled down<br />
to a fairly small number, as rain persistently fell<br />
through the camp. However rain never succeeded in<br />
dampening their spirits as everyone seemed to enjoy<br />
the week with its unlimited indoor activities and very<br />
limited beach and swamp activities.<br />
As in the past, the boys have taken very well to<br />
sport generally. The inter-school sports activities<br />
(cricket, football, basketball and tennis) represented by<br />
these eager and determined competitors <strong>of</strong> Grade S.<br />
The class sport activities \verc also tackled with spirit<br />
and enthusiasm. In games stich as soccer, football,<br />
cricket. basketball. tennis, volleyball and even cross<br />
country running:. the different talents and determination<br />
<strong>of</strong> the boys will keep Parade's sporting image in the<br />
limelight.<br />
Over all. I think that the image <strong>of</strong> the 'Typical<br />
Paradian" in the fields <strong>of</strong> study and sport and most<br />
importantly. the Christian personality will live on for<br />
a long time to come.<br />

PARADE PREPARATORY COLLEGE LADIES'<br />
AUXILIARY REPORT 1974<br />
The Ladies' Auxiliary has had a very husy and successful<br />
year. Although attendances at some functions<br />
were lower than previous years, each production was<br />
a social success. Following last year's format, each<br />
function was organised by a different member or groups<br />
<strong>of</strong> members <strong>of</strong> the committee. Again this proved effective.<br />
I will not list each event and organiser separately,<br />
but please accept our sincere thanks to each person<br />
connected with our activities. To the committee I can<br />
only say that their co-operation and cheerful ability to<br />
work hard and long are one <strong>of</strong> the most rewarding experiences<br />
in which a president <strong>of</strong> this auxiliary can<br />
share.<br />
Sometimes it may seem that the efforts <strong>of</strong> the auxiliary<br />
arc not fruitful in comparison with the energy<br />
expended, financially or numerically this may he so,<br />
but in the long term our success is hard to judge. Our<br />
school is a great schoo!. It is perhaps almost unique in<br />
the enthusiasm evoked in stafT, parents, boys and old<br />
boys. This is seen not as a separate entity, but as one<br />
whole living and growing Christian Force.<br />
h is as part <strong>of</strong> this force that each <strong>of</strong> us can give so<br />
much to the Catholic Social ideals <strong>of</strong> the present age,<br />
and it is on this that we must judge our final success.<br />
As mothers and housewives united with the Church<br />
in caring for our children we gain a knowledge <strong>of</strong> our<br />
own dignity and ahility despite media propaganda. We<br />
have a tremendous amount to olTer in the very fact that<br />
we are Catholic Mothers taking the responsihility <strong>of</strong> the<br />
temporal as well as the most important spiritual welfare<br />
<strong>of</strong> our children.<br />
Together we can gain assurance and knowledge from<br />
the fact that we belong to part <strong>of</strong> a system <strong>of</strong> education<br />
based on the teaching <strong>of</strong> Christ. A system which can<br />
bring peace and sanity to each family and to the world.<br />
May I quote IIlitz who states "the schools arc instruments<br />
for social control". We want our social control<br />
to he God inspired and it is to this end that our cups <strong>of</strong><br />
tea, c<strong>of</strong>fee and biscuits, strange as it may seem are ultimately<br />
directed,<br />
Finally my sincere thanks to Brother Howell for all<br />
his help and to Brother O'Shanessy who sustained os<br />
with his homilies and humour during Brother Howell's<br />
ahsence.<br />

The Grampians<br />
GRADE<br />
6 BLUE<br />
We left school on Septcmber 16th to go to the Grampians,<br />
but lirst we stopped at Sovereign Hill. We saw<br />
the black-smith, mines and many other things. We all<br />
had great fun panning for gold but we didn't have much<br />
luck.<br />
After a while we left to go to Hall's Gap, which was<br />
our camping grounds. When we reached our camping<br />
area, it was raining and cold. In about three-quarters <strong>of</strong><br />
an hour's time we had our tents up. \Ve soon got our<br />
things out <strong>of</strong> the bus and put them into the tents.<br />
There were two big tents - I was in one <strong>of</strong> themand<br />
there were about six small ones. Our tent collapsed<br />
three times, on the third time we started to move into<br />
other tents or into the bus. The other big tent fell down<br />
that night and the kids in that tent moved into the bus.<br />
That night we had to work quite hard fixing up the<br />
tents but it was a lot <strong>of</strong> fun.<br />
The next morning we woke up early, Tom Gaona",<br />
Peter Robertson and I were going to have a look at a<br />
grave <strong>of</strong> a girl who was huried over a hundred years<br />
ago. Then we went down to the creek where we saw<br />
some kangaroos. We felt the water which was icc cold<br />
and I almost fell into it. Soon after when we went back<br />
to camp. we had breakfast and after that we set out for<br />
Mt. William with our guide Mr. Tucker and bus driver<br />
Warren. \Varren drove us some <strong>of</strong> the way and the other<br />
part we walked. From Ml. William we could see aJl the<br />
other mountains.<br />
When we reached the top <strong>of</strong> Mt. WiJliam, there were<br />
some puddles around thc place and at the top <strong>of</strong> thc<br />
puddles were thin pieces <strong>of</strong> ice. Mr. Tucker said it<br />
snowed on Mt. WiJliam in the night. We hoped to see<br />
some snow but there was none to be seen. Mr. Tucker<br />
then told us some things about Ml. William - one 01<br />
them I rcmember very weJl - it was that Major MitcheJl<br />
discovered Ml. William and he named it after King<br />
WiJliam.<br />
On our way down we S;lW many birds - robins,<br />
galahs and magpies. \Vhen we were at the bottom <strong>of</strong><br />
the mountain, \Varren had an apple for each <strong>of</strong> us.<br />
After we ate our apples we went lO the park and had<br />
lunch.<br />
After lunch some boys went down to the creek and<br />
others played football. From there we wcnt to anolher<br />
place, it was a frack and we followed this track. \Vhcn<br />
\Vc came out the olher end we met Warren. \\le waited<br />
a while for Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Sehparyk. Then<br />
we went hack to the camp and started camp flres. Our<br />
camp lire wasn't very good and kept burning out. \VL'<br />
had put lip the tL'nts jllst before going to Ml. William.<br />
\Vhen it \"'as time to cat, \Varren called us: after we ate<br />
we played around or \vent to the General Store. Then<br />
we said prayers with 13r. O'S and called it a day.<br />
On Wednesday we were to go on the Wonderland<br />
trail. After we did our Christian living we had free.<br />
time, then lunch. After lunch wc go ready to go for our<br />
four mile walk.<br />
Warren drove us to the start <strong>of</strong> the trail and Mr.<br />
Tucker look us the rest <strong>of</strong> the way. Ge<strong>of</strong>f Money, our<br />
third tcrm class captain was just behind Mr. Tucker.<br />
After a while Mr. Tucker found thai he had taken us<br />
on a wrong trail. So we started to back-track and we<br />
found another trail which we went up to the Pinnacle.<br />
Mr. Tucker then led us on another wrong trail and<br />
this time we ended in a moss bcd, so we went back •.lnd<br />
went on another trail and this was the right one. Some<br />
boys and I went down a short way we had known from<br />
hikes in the night. It was prctty rough but we kept<br />
going. Half way down, Mat Powell tripped over. We<br />
stopped and helped him up but he wasn't hurt so we<br />
kept going. When we reached the camp, Mr. Tucker,<br />
I3r. O'S and the two mothers were nowhere to be seen.<br />
About half an hour later thcy returned. Warrcn had<br />
made the meal and we ate. After we ate we had a<br />
birthday party - it was Bren Kelly's birthday.<br />
That night we went to bed at 9.00 p.m. but before<br />
we went to bed we said prayers.<br />
On Thursday we woke up at 6.30 a.m. We started<br />
to pack up because this \Vas the day for us to leave,<br />
When we had finished breakfast we folded up the tents<br />
and put them away.<br />
We were going to stop at Bendigo before coming<br />
home. \Vhen we rcached I3cm.ligo we had lunch and<br />
then went to an old gold mine. \Vc sawall the machines.<br />
tools and dress rooms. Then we sawall <strong>of</strong> Bendigo's<br />
historic hotels and buildings on the talking tram. ~<br />
After that we left to come home - it took us quite<br />
some time to comc home from Bendigo and we were<br />
meant to get home at 5.00 p.m. but came to the school<br />
at 6.30 p.m.<br />
We then unpacked the bus - Warren madc a last<br />
check and then we all left to go home.<br />

The (cam is very grateful to the "brainstrust" group<br />
who guided us throughout the season. Mr. A. McCarthy,<br />
our very knowledgeable and capable coach, was ably<br />
assisted by Mr. B. Bentley, Mr. R. Jackson and Mr.<br />
C. McCann. In all kinds <strong>of</strong> weather, they were on the<br />
sidelines to support us, and the fact that we reached<br />
the Grand Final was largely due to their help.<br />
We \"'ere able to have little or no practice because<br />
the ovals were continually flooded, but nevertheless,<br />
we were able to win matches with some good learn<br />
work.<br />
Dc La Salle, Malvern, deserve congratulations on<br />
winning the premiership. We were able to hold them<br />
until half time in the Grand Final, but they proved too<br />
strong for us in the second half.<br />
All members <strong>of</strong> the team received pennants on<br />
presentation night. The Best and Fairest award wenl<br />
to S. McCarthy, and J. Montemurro was runner-up.<br />

we had forty-two potential players. By the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
season all had played at least one game. and 1110st<br />
had played in considerably more.<br />
Because we played so many boys. tcam work was<br />
sometimes a difficulty. but there were occasions when<br />
we amazed ourselves with some really good patches<br />
<strong>of</strong> play.<br />
Pennants were presented tn all boys who played<br />
during the season. P. Sellars was awarded Best and<br />
Fairest, and G. Caddy was runner-up.<br />
Our sincere thanks to the fathers who came along<br />
each week to support us, and a special word <strong>of</strong> thanks<br />

CROSS-COUNTRY<br />
TEAM<br />
Ba,ketball met with plenty <strong>of</strong> enthusiasm this year<br />
with 54 boys joining teams. Five teams were entered<br />
in the Summer C.Y.M.S. Competition at Albert Park<br />
during first term. Two under 12's and three under 14's.<br />
The under 12', once again finished premiers and<br />
runners-up. Under 14 team, 1 and 2 both gained<br />
experience playing in A Grade and team 3 were<br />
finalist, in the B Grade.<br />
The Spring Season saw more new players and the<br />
innovation <strong>of</strong> individual singlets which has been a<br />
great help to the coaches during Saturday's hectic<br />
timetable <strong>of</strong> games. The five teams this season arc<br />
being led by P. Bentley, S. McGrath, A. Beers, T.<br />
Twomey and J. Bibby.<br />
Team, have been under the coaching <strong>of</strong> Miss Rooney,<br />
Br. Cauchi and Patrick Prendergast. Our thanks to<br />
the parents who assisted in lifts down to Albert Park<br />
and to those who came along to give us support.<br />
TENNIS<br />
There was quite an upsurge in the interest shown in<br />
tennis this year, particularly from the Forms One. We<br />
entered tcams in the three Compctjlions, onc in each<br />
learn, anu although we won no titles in the first two<br />
teams, we were in the semi-finals, but each time were<br />
narrowly defeated by the eventual champions, Highett.<br />
At the time <strong>of</strong> compiling this data for the Paradian,<br />
our No. 1 Team, captained by Paul O'Connell, is due<br />
to meet Highctt in the Final on Sunday, November<br />
17th. The improvement in all players has been most<br />
pleasing and this is due to the competition and the<br />
enthusiasm <strong>of</strong> all boy' concerned. Unfortunately, Mr.<br />
Cyril Bass, our tennis coach for many years, became<br />
too ill to continue after the First Term. Parade Prep.<br />
is indeed very grateful to Mr. Bass for his coaching<br />
and also his fine example to those he coached. We<br />
hope his health improves. Next year (1975) we have<br />
gained the coaching experience <strong>of</strong> an Old Paradian,<br />
Mr. John Reddock, who will be coaching at the College<br />
throughout the year. At this moment the College<br />
Singles Championships arc in progress. The pleasing<br />
number <strong>of</strong> over 80 entries indicates the interest in<br />
tennis at the school.<br />
Many thanks to those Parents who encouraged, and<br />
assisted by transport, the boys who played each Sunday<br />
morning. Our most consistent players over the year<br />
would be Paul O'Connell, Stephen Fahey, Steven<br />
Ispanovic and Michael Nakulski (the 1Il0st improved<br />
player also). Special mention also [0 Brendan O'Leary<br />
who has been a most loyal and enthusiastic performer<br />
for Parade.<br />
During the year after a month's training in preparation,<br />
pupils <strong>of</strong> Alphington represented Parade WIth<br />
Bundoora in the Associated Catholic Colleges cross<br />
country. Unfortunately, the weather was bad with rain<br />
on and <strong>of</strong>f and a strong wind.<br />
Parade Prep. was well represented in all age groups.<br />
Under 13: Dominic Spillane and Scan McGrath.<br />
Under 14: Dale McCann, John Montemurro, John<br />
Williams, Chris Jackson, John McBride. Danny<br />
Farry and Philip Luchetta had to withdraw at the<br />
last minute.<br />
Under 15: Fred Vanderslik and Michael Petty.<br />
Although Parade finished out <strong>of</strong> a place, the conditions<br />
at Coburg Swimming Pool (the start and finish)<br />
were poor, and everyone tried to the best <strong>of</strong> their<br />
ability in representing their school.<br />

The A.C.C. Sports took place on the 5th <strong>of</strong> October.<br />
Our part at Alphington was to supply representatives<br />
who were: Mark McNamara, Sean McGrath, Paul<br />
Jones and Dominic Spillane. All boys competed as<br />
well as they could. Scan McGrath was the most successful<br />
gaining 2nd place in the long jump and 4th<br />
place in the high jump.<br />
