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