Headmas' :er's ReI ort 

people were calling for himto stay, 

when it came time for him to leave 

them. 

john Paul II - The impression that 

I have brought away of our present 

Pontiff is one of great strength. 

Whereas the other two Pontiffs were 

escorted around while blessing the 

huge crowds, John Paul II slrode oul 

in a most athletic manner. He uses his 

crosier as a symbol of his office, not as 

a support for a frail hody. On a 

number of occasions I have seen him 

walk right into crowds, which is no 

mean feat, as the papal presence 

seems to induce some kind of mass 

hysteria in many people. 

One exampleofthis was in his first 

week of office. He had decided that he 

would have a special audience for all 

the nuns in Rome, even enclosed 

orders were to come. Atthe last 

moment he gave orders that no safety 

barriers were to be used and he would 

stroll among the Sisters. 11,700 

Sisters turned up for the audience 

and aides were worried for his and 

their safety. There was some talk at 

one slage of turning out the entire 

Swiss Guard, but he made it through 

the audience, on his own, although it 

took him approximately three hours 

from the front 10 the back door of the 

vast audience hall. 

NEWSLETI'ER NO.1 

Since returning from Rome, I have 

settled back into my post at Parade 

and now wish to communicate some 

information to you regarding the 

school. 

Roman Studies: 

I feel that I should firstly say 

something to you about my period in 

Rome. 

During the six months I have been 

away. I attended a series of courses 

and lectures which were very 

beneficial to me on a personal level, 

and I sincerely hope, will also be 

reflected through the position I must 

fill here at the College. 

With regards to the lectures, the 

thing lhat I will always remember is 

the contact with the people, Brothers 

and Priests, who delivered these, and 

their (Brothers and Priests) obvious 

first-rale ability in both spiritual and 

general expertise, which could not 

fail to impress someone from as far 

away as Melbourne, Australia. 

Before going to Rome I had been 

guilty on occasions of thinking tbat, 

sometimes, people in Rome were a 

little bit out of touch. After being 

there and seeing what was taking 

place, and looking back on the 

position of Melbourne relative to the 

2 

eternal city, I can see how wrong I 

was in this matter; the reverse would 

be more to the point. 

They were certainly historical 

times in Rome wilh regards to 

Papacy. Not many people will be able 

to say that they had been in Rome 

during the reign of three Pontiffs. 

Paul VI - A lasting impression 

will be the stark simpliCity of his 

coffin, which when lifted up, to be 

carried into St. Peters for the last 

time, was a signal for the vast crowd 

in the square to burst into applause. 

This is something foreign to my 

experience. It was very moving. (as it 

was so obviously a genuine tribute, to 

a man who had a very difficult period 

of the church's life to administer. 

john Paull - I was in the square, 

under the main balcony, on the 

Sunday morning that he made his 

first public appearance. Before he 

made his entrance, I think the general 

feeling ofthe people around me was 

one of. perhaps, curiosity and 

nothing more. His short fifteen 

minutes on the balcony can only be 

described as electric. One could feel 

the change in the crowd, as this 

obviously very humble man seemed 

able to reach everyone in thaI vast 

assembly with his pleasant and 

happy manner, so much so that 

Staff Changes: 

There have been many staff 

changes for this new academic year. 

Last year's Deputy Headmaster, 

Brother Swaney, has been transferred 

to Geelong and his place has been 

taken by Brother Nangle, who comes 

to us after finishing his term as 

Headmaster of St. Patrick's College, 

Ballara!. I also wish to welcome 

Brothers Monagle, Pawelski, Shortill 

and Meehl. and new members of staff, 

Messrs. G. Allan, L. Derrico, N. 

Hughes, V. Miles, Mrs. L. Carson and 

MissT. McLaughlin. Long-serving 

members of staff who left us at the 

end of the year were Mr.j.joss and 

Mr. K. Scott. Mr. D. O'Brien is on 

study-leave this year, and will be 

returning to the College in 1980. 

1978 H.S,C. Results: 

The number of boys presented from 

Parade has varied from 108-101 over 

the past three years. This year, on the 

first round, 77 satisfied University 

Entrance requirements. Since that 

time, we have had three others 

successful on medical grounds, one 

successful on a computer mistake in 

his results, and two others pending. 

The results this year were 

exceptional, not so much for the 

general pass rate, but on the numbers

of A'sand B's gained by our 

successful candidates. 21 of the 81 

received A's or B's in at least three or 

more of their five subjects. The 

Science dux - Andrew Celestinaobtained 

100 for General 

Mathematics, 100 for Biology, 100 for 

Chemistry, 98 for Physics and 81 for 

English. Iam sure you will agreequite 

an exceptional performance 

deserving of special congratulations. 

Andrew came to Parade in Form V 

from Keon Park Technical School 

and soon showed toall, the solid 

grounding he received from the staff 

there. The general results are as 

follows: 

DUCES: Science - Andrew 

Celestina, Commerce- 

Christopher Ryan, 

Humanities - Joho 

McDonald. 

Special Distinction for General 

Excellence - Andrew Celestina.

Congratulations to all the ahove 

students who laboured long hours for 

their most deserved rewards. 

For those members of the 1978 

H.S.C. who put in much effort and 

whose results were average or who 

did not get a great return in their 

result, the Headmaster and staff wish 

to congratulate them also, for their 

efforts. 

School Camps and School Trips: 

I am trying to make a distinction 

here for the benefit of all parents. 

(a) As you would be aware, the 

school has no Cadet Unit and has 

made an effort to develop the 

Physical Education Department in 

line with the latest developments in 

this greatly expanding area. We have 

attempted to do things professionally 

with regards to camping activities, 

and information on this type of 

activity will be communicated to you 

through the year as your boy goes to a 

particular camp. Eventually we hope 

to be integrated in some way with the 

Outward Bound Movement, but this 

would tend to be more in the senior 

class area than in that of the lower 

forms. 

The type of school camp described 

above is compulsory as it is part of 

our normal curriculum range. 

[b) Outside this, and outside 

normal school time, usually during 

first or second term holidays, 

camping trips are organized for boys. 

Although under the control and 

supervision of the school, these 

camps arc in no way compulsory, and 

if you do not wish him to attend, you 

must resist your son, ifhe presents 

them in this guise. 

Trail Ride Safari: 

Last year saw the successful slart of 

our Horse Riding School. Br. Walsh 

will be organizing a Trail Ride and 

Pack Horse Safari in Term II holidays 

[Location North Eastern Victoria) - 

This adventure will only be open to 

above~average riders. 

Contact with Headmaster: 

The Headmaster can be contacted 

at the College from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 

p.m. If the Headmaster is not in his 

office when you ring, please leave 

your phone number and he will ring 

you back. Urgent calls - ring at any 

time. 

The Headmaster is availahle for 

parent interviews during the same 

times. It would be wise to check 

beforehand if you arc intending to 

come at an unusual time. 

In Memoriam: 

Since we have started school,the 

Mother ofthe Senior Lay Master, Mr. 

Martin Hickey, has passed into her 

eternal reward, and yesterday saw the 

sudden death of Mr. Nangle, the 

Father of our new Deputy 

Headmaster. I am sure you will all 

join with me in praying for the repose 

of their souls. 

Edmund Ignatius Rice - The 

Founder of the Christian Brothers: 

On my way home from Rome, I was 

very fortunate to be able to visit the 

towns of Call an, where the Founder 

grew up, and Waterford, where he 

eslablished his first school, and 

where his body now rests. 

At the present time a new Chapel is 

being constructed in Waterford - at 

the request of the people of the town 

- to give all, fre~ access to the 

Founder's grave. 

The Old Paradians arc the prime 

movers in an Australian pilgrimage 

to go to Waterford for the opening of 

this Chapel, later this year (August). I 

will communicate more information 

to you in this area in early March. 

Finally, I must tell you some 

very pleasant information. New staff 

members (Brothers and Lay) have 

made comments on the friendly and 

co-operative nature of your sons. 

Older members of staff, myself in 

particular, know this already, but it is 

always great to have one's feelings 

reinforced by an independent source. 

I am sure that as the boys "get into 

their stride", during the next couple 

of weeks, the same general 

imjJression gained in the first week 

will still be very much reinforced.

"The third day He rose again. 

Today with the whole Church, we 

repeal these words with particular 

emotion." 

It was with these words that Pope 

John Paul II began his homily when 

he celebrated the Easter Day Mass in 

SI. Peters Square, Rome. The Holy 

Father was addressing a crowd of 

400,000 approx. 

A few days later, April 24th, I was 

talking to a group of 40 approx. (a

McClelland, Private Eric- 

Quite a gloom was cast over the 

Epping district when the news came 

through from the Defence 

Department that Private Eric 

McClelland, only son of Mr. and Mrs. 

George McClelland, of High Street, 

Epping, had been killed in action in 

France on August 26th. The brave lad 

was killed, with his companion, 

Private Matt. Brophy, just twelve 

months to the day that they 

embarked. Private McClelland was a 

marked favourite with all who knew 

him, his retiring and unassuming 

demeanour winning the friendship of 

all with whom he came in contact. He 

was educated firstly at St. Peter's 

Academy, Epping, and afterwards at 

the Christian Brothers' College, 

Victoria Parade. Atthe time of his 

death he was 24 years of age. R.I.P." 

Private Eric McClelland will one 

day rise again in response to the call

L 

of his leader (whom as the Pope so 

truly proclaimed is already risen). In 

the meantime it is a Holy and 

wholesome thought to pray for the 

dead. There are almost 200 young 

men on our World War I supreme 

sacrifice board, all of them with their 

little human story now lost in the 

mists of the past - "Lest We Forget!" 

On March 23rd the school 

conducted a Mass to ask the blessing 

ofjesus Christ upon the School Year. 

At the Mass the members ofthe 

School Council received their official 

badges. The members of the Council 

are as follows: 

Anthony Todaro - School 

Captain; Dale McCann and Michael 

Pelly - Vice Captains; Anthony 

Barry, David Brophy, Terry Dwyer, 

Stephen Furey, Michael Love, Alex 

Morelli, John Moroney, Brendan 

Mullane, Peter Rayner and John 

Smith. 

Visit of Old Paradian, Father Meese, 

O.P.- 

In March the school was honoured 

with a visit from Father Meese, O.P., 

who has been a Dominican 

Missionary Priest in the Solomon 

Islands for the past 22 years. The boys 

ofthis year's form 4 had donated 

$1,500 to Father to help finance the 

construction of a new church for his 

parish. 

Father met the boys at an assembly 

to thank them for the donation and at 

the same time gave the boys a very 

informative talk on the activities at 

his Mission station. We thank Father 

forthe time that he gave to this. 

Ladies' Auxiliary - 

I would like to thank the ladies, 

under the leadership of Mrs. Jean 

Flynn, for their efforts during the 

lerm, especially in the four large 

functions in which they were very 

much involved - the SlaffDinner, 

the 1978 H.S.C. Dinner, the Opening 

School Mass and, of course, Family 

Day. Their final functions for the lerm 

are the Luncheon on May 2nd and the 

Basket Supper Dance on May 11tho 

Very early next term, on 6th June, 

their Annual Retreat will take place. 

Tenele Awards- 

On Saturday night, May 5th, the 

Old Paradians Association are 

conducting their Annual Tenete 

Dinner in the College Hall, at which 

three people who have been 

prominent in Parade activities over 

the years will be receiving the highest 

honour that the Association can give 

-lheTeneteAward.1979Awards 

will be given to: 

Leo Joseph Kelly R.I.P. 

Rev. Ilr. Walter Palrick Maloney 

David Keith Barker 

The Tenete Award is the highest 

award the Old Paradians can give any 

person and is given for exceptional 

service to Parade College and the Old 

Paradians, thereby lising the 

recipient among the few deemed 

worthy ofthis honour. 

Leo Joseph Kelly was a former 

president of the Old Paradians 

Association, a captain of the Old 

Paradians Football Club, and a 

staunch supporter of the Christian 

Brothers. When Parade Prep. was 

bought by the Old Paradians, Leo was 

an organizer of the fund raising. He 

was also in the thick of the appeal for 

the construction of Parade Bundoora. 

Eor years Leo was the secretary of the 

association, Ball organizer and 

always made himself available to the 

Christian IJrothers. 

Rev. Br. Walter Patrick Maloney 

has given almost thirty years of his 

life to Parade College. He is a constant 

supporter of the Old Paradians 

Association. During his time at 

Parade he knew the Old Boys like no 

other Christian Brother. IJr. Maloney 

held, amongst many posts, the senior 

mathematics chair, the senior 

Christian Doctrine chair and was 

senior football and tennis coach. 

David Keith Barker is a former 


Association and a member of the first 

Old Paradians Football Team. This 

year the football club celebrates its 

Golden Jubilee. Keith was also 

secretary of the association for many 

years and is the originator of the Old 

Paradians Association's monthly 

luncheon. A fact little known is that 

the Old Paradians Association is the 

only Old Collegians Association still 

running a monthly luncheon. Tenete 

Traditiones, Keith as he is known is 

responsible for keeping the "spirit of 

Parade" flying high. 

All who are known to the 

recipients are invited to the Tenete 

Award Dinner to be held in the 

Parade Bundoora Hall on Saturday, 

5th I-.lay,1979. The price of the 

dinner including beverages is $16.00

Work Experience and Horse Riding 

Programmes - These t\~oactivities 

are due to commence qUite soon. 

Both were very successful last year 

and this is evident from the number 

of applications for both programmes, 

which are approximately double 

those of the previous year. 

In the Horse Riding activity some 

boys are going to miss out. To the 

boys who are successful at getting 

into the programme, I wish them 

well, I know that they will keep their 

helmet on at all times, and that they 

will never stand behind their horse, 

and pray that, if they take a tumble. it 

will be injury free. 

In the Work Experience 

programme we have, as I havesaid, 

approximately double the amount of 

applications of last year. You will 

notice allhe end of this newsletter a 

return ticket. Please help if you can as 

we are always looking for additional 

placement positions.

NO.3 

Ov'er tbe past few weeks the papers 

and television have given full 

coverage to the wonderful and 

inspiring visit of Pope John Paulll to 

his homeland. 

The Holy Father is now back in 

Rome, and if it could be said that 

Rome emcompasses the world, the 

centre of that circle is most certainly 

St. Peter's Square, in which once a 

week Pope John Paul is seated in 

audience. 

The following is an eye-witness 

account of one person's impression of 

his first audience, one with which I 

identify very much: 

"I reached Rome on Tuesday 

afternoon after a long overnight flight 

on the Qantas jumbo jet, City of 

Parramatta. The next day was a great 

day. It was my birthday and I had a 

pass for the 6.15 audience. The Pope 

has moved his audience to the 

evening to save crowds from the 

fierce mid-day heat. An audience in 

the square is one of the wonders of the 

world. From one o'clock the square 

begins to fill with good-tempered, 

patient crowds entertained by 

magnificient music broadcasts and 

marching and parading of special 

groups arriving for the audience. 

It is futile to attempt an estimate of 

the crowds that pack that square 

week after week. 

Old Vatican hands are amazed. 

They have never seen anything like 

it. Officials and citizens of Rome are 

protesting about the traffic jams the 

audiences cause, but it seems no one 

and nothing can stop the human tide 

from pouring into St. Peter's Square. 

Finally, at 6.15, on the dot, the 

Pope arrives standing in back of a 

Land Rover-like vehicle. He goes 

round and round and round. across 

and up and down the square 

4

passageways, smiling. talking - 

scenes such as no other person in the 

world ca n evoke. 

The Pope finally descends. walks 

among the people at the edge of the 

barriers, clasping hands. being 

touched by men, women and 

children from all parts of the world. 

many weeping. The Pope moves 

slowly to the platform at the top of 

steps in front of the Basilica. walks 

round the platform waving his hand 

above his head, smiling like a 

champion. acknowledging the 

deafening roar from the crowd who 

are waving flags. banners. 

handkerchiefs. 

When he sits down he begins to 

speak in Italian. It is no exaggeration 

to say you could hear a pin drop in the 

square. 

All eyes are focussed on the white 

clad figure on the platform. all ears 

are strained to catch every word the 

Pope utters. even though many 

thousands cannot understand the 

language. 

When he breaks into one orotherof 

the many languages he uses to greet 

special groups of pilgrims. he is met 

by roars from those groups. He speaks 

French. English, German. Spanish, 

Central European. 

The Pope spoke for about an hour 

and a half. then went down to greet 

even more people. walking round the 

barricades. grasping hands, taking 

part in national group activities. 

receiving gifts. 

Light had gone from the square and 

only a handful of pilgrims left. 

talking to the Pope, who finally tore 

himself away. mounted the Land 

Rover and disappeared into the 

Vatican. It was over. It is 9.15 p.m. 

What a birthday for me. a day I shall 

neverforget. 

Not everyone gets to share one's 

birthday with the Pope and two 

hundred thousand or more people." 

Dear Parents. the reason for 

including this excerpt in the 

newsletter is as a reminder for us all 

to pray for our Holy Father. he has 

such huge responsibilities and so 

many people depend upon his 

steadfast faith and Christ-reminding 

presence, in our world of today. 

"Moy the Lord preserve him ond 

give him life. 

And moke him blest upon the 

earth, 

And deliver him not to the will af 

his enemies." 

residential Retreat situations. There 

were two groups at the Christian 

Brothers' Youth Centre, Amberley. 

Lower Plenty. with Brother Wright. 

Mr. Clinton and Mr. Nicholls as 

supervisors, and the Christian 

Brothers' Youth Team led by Br. Peter 

Cole. and Father Dennis McNamara. 

C.S.S.R. One group went to the 

Y.C.W. Camp, Phillip Island. 

supervised by Mr. Cosgriff. Mr, Joss 

and Father Pat Moroney, O.M.I.. and 

tbe fourth group went to Power 

House Camp, Lake Eppaloch. 

supervised by Br. Nangle. Mr. 

Crennan and FatherThomas 

D'Souza, Salesian. The feed-back 

from the boys to myself has been most 

heartening and this has been 

reinforced by people external to the 

school. notably Priests who were at 

our Retreats. All said that they have 

enjoyed the experience and were 

impressed with the H.S.C. 

Retreatants. 

The Form V Retreat was conducted 

at the College through the 

arrangements of Brother O'Neill and 

Mr. Colvin in particular. with the 

help of Fathers Vin Hindmarsh and 

Liam O'Keefe, Columbans, Father 

Terry Bergin. Greensborough Parish. 

and Father John O'Shea, Bundoora 

Parish. This Retreat was also very 

successful. 

On behalf of the boys and their 

parents, I would like to publicly 

thank all the Priests who gave of their 

time so generously

dedication. 

in service to the 

Visit of Father Dillon and a team 

from the Diocesan Vocations 

Centre - 

In the second week of June, Father 

Kevin Dillon, Diocesan Vocations 

Director, and his team visited Parade. 

The theme of Father Dillon's visit to 

Parade was not so much a recruiting 

drive to obtain future priests and 

religious. but was more along the 

lines of acquainting the boys with an 

awareness of the importance to the 

Church. of which they are members, 

of vocations to the priesthood and 

religious life. and of putting the hoys 

in the frame of mind where they are 

prepared to prav that 'labourers will 

be sent into the harvest'. The Form I 

and IIboys were taken on a half-day 

visit to the Diocesan Centre. where 

they viewed a display. and were 

given a short talk. The Form IIIand IV 

students were able to talk 

individually. if they wished. with 

members of the team. The Sacrament 

of Reconciliation was available to 

them and finally. a number of Masses 

were celebrated. with all the boys 

attending one of the Masses. Father 

Dillon was very pleased with the 

response he received from both staff 

and students, and has included the 

following extract in this Newsletter: 

..An important part of religious 

education is understanding our 

vocation as Christians. We can all 

help one another to discover and 

carry out whatever Christian 

vocation we are called to. Father 

Dillon. the Director of Vocations 

for the Melbourne Diocese. 

recently visited Parade to help us 

in this work. 

As a follow up we are arranging 

an evening for families. All parents 

are invited: so are students in 

Forms 4. 5 and 6 - whatever their 

school. If our students are to make 

the best oltheir lives. they and their 

families need to have a common 

understanding of this vital malter. 

All will be invited to express 

opinions and ask questions. 

If you wish to come to such an 

evening. please indicate below. 

When we know the numbers 

involved. we will advise you of 

details." 

General Strike Thursday. 

21st June - 

I would like to thank all parents 

who were able to provide transport 

for boys on that day. I would also like 

to thank the staff for their 

organizational work and also for their 

help with the transport. and finally 

the students themselves. who did 

co-operate. in good spirit. with all 

directions given to them concerning 

the situation which we needed to 

overcome. 

Form V and VI Retreats - Monday 

4th to Friday 8th June- 

During this week all of the H.S.C. 

boys were accommodated in 

Poorman'sMass- 

On Friday, June 22nd, the 

Archdiocese of Melbourne 

conducted their annual Poorman's 

Mass, and an appeal through the 

school resulted in 700 articles of 

clothing and 500 articles offoodstuffs 

being donated to the St. Vincent de 

Paul's Society. A group of 

representative students. two from 

each class. altended the main Mass in 

St. Patrick's Cathedral. under the 

guidance of Brother Nangle. to 

present offerings on behalf of the 

students. 

Inspection of the School - 

During the last week of June, 

Brother Chappell, from the Christian 

Brothers' Headquarters. Treacy 

College, made a close inspection of 

the College. visiting all of the 

classrooms and talking to both boys 

5

and teachers. Brother spoke very 

favourably of the boys and also the 

staff, and his suggestions for 

improvements are greatly 

appreciated, as his overview of the 

general school situation is something 

that is difficult to grasp by people 

dedicated toand intimately 

concerned with the one scbool. 

Form III and IV Camps- 

Early in the year the Middle School 

conducted a series of camps. These 

were what are termed 'orientation' 

camps. a type of'getting-to-knowyou 

activity'. They are especially 

important in the Form III area, as it is 

here tbat Alphington and Bundoora 

combine. This style of camp is very 

common and is undertaken by many, 

many schools. 

The camps undertaken during this 

term are of a different style. Tbey are 

planned by our Physical Education 

Department and are an attempt to 

offer the boys some type of activity 

which will be challenging but not 

probibitive to the student. 

Form IV camps along these lines 

are at present in the process of 

development. One of these camps is a 

ski camp at Mount Buller, anotber is 

an adventure camp at the Youth 

Hostel at Warrandyte, and the third 

will concentrate on the environment 

and isatlheNational FitnessCamp, 

Millgrove. Each boy is presented 

with a format of the camps and is free 

to select the area he considers suits 

him best. Mr. Hans Dulke has gone to 

great trouble with the arrangements 

and I am sure that the camps will be a 

success because of this, and because I 

know he will receive full support 

from the staff and also the students. 

On the completion of these camps 

two middle school boys will be 

selected to represent Parade on a 

special Outward Bound Adventure 

Course which will take place in 

Cairns, Queensland, from August 

16th to August 25th. 

Christian Sexuality Programme - 

This year, for the first time, our 

Form VI boys are undertaking a 

Christian Sexuality Programme, 

which is run by the Family Life 

Centre. The first session of this 

programme was a parent's night. and 

this has already been held with a very 

gratifying attendance of over 150 

H.S.C. parents. The format for this 

night was as follows: 

A. Introduction to the course - 20 

minutes, This segment was given 

by the priest involved in the 

course to reveal the need.

minutes. Co-ordinator spoke 

about the purpose from the lay 

person's point of view . 

C. Film - "FirstDayofLife" 

D. Discussion Session - 30 

minutes. Parents were divided 

into groups of about 20 to

Teachers who are working in the 

Form VI area were also present. 

At the school, the boys will be 

having one 2-hour session every 

Tuesday for five weeks. I am sure you 

will all join with me in praying that 

the boys are able to receive value from 

the great work being attempted by 

these fine people. 

GeneralBusiness- 

The Working Bee conducted by the 

Fathers on the morning of June 10th 

was a great success. A large number 

of fathers were present - and despite 

the ever-present threat of rain. many 

drains were dug and areas gravelled. 

The toilets were all painted and all 

the scbool windows cleaned. 

Many thanks to Max Synan and his 

organizing crew for a job well done. 

NEWSLETfER NO.4 

Since my last newsletter, we have 

had quite an amount of sadness 

generated from within our ranks. 

There has been the tragic death of 

Form 5 student, Paul O'Shea, brother 

of Chris, Form 3, Brendan, Form 2, 

and Adrian, Form 1. 

On top of this we have had the 

sudden deatbs ofjim Geary, father of 

Richard, Form4, and Jamie, Form 3; 

Vince Condra, father of Matthew, 

Form 3; Floriza Yammouni, mother 

of Robert, Form4, and Paul, Form 3; 

and Carlo Bello, father of Paul, Form 

5. 

And, finally, the death of a very 

young old boy, Jim Jordan. 

I have been more than a little 

troubled as to how to convey these 

facts in a newsletter and at the same 

time give them and the grieving 

families the solemnity and dignity 

tbat is deserving in these tragic 

circumstances. 

Currently the whole school is 

engaged in October devotions. 

dedicated to the Mother orGod. 

Twice a week we all gather at the 

bell tower for a decade of the Rosary. 

Individual classes are also 

conducting their own devotions, 

We are not the only ones concerned 

in this area. Pope Paul VI wrote in his 

Apostolic Exhortation 'Marialis 

Cultus' [devotion to Mary). 

"From the momenl when Iwas 

called to the See of Peter, I have 

constantly striven to enhance 

devotion to the Blessed Virgin 

Mary, nol only with the inlenlion of 

interpreting the senliments oflhe 

Church, nnd my01-vn personal 

inclination but also because. as is 

well known, this devotion forms (J 

very noble part of the whole sphere 

ofthat s(Jcred worship, in which 

there inlermingle lhe highesl 

expressions of wisdom and of 

religion, and which is Iherefore lhe 

primary task of the People ofG(Jd." 

On Sunday September 30th the 

Pilgrim Pope reached the goal of his 

journey in Ireland - the Shrine of 

Our Lady of Knock. He joined 

400,000 other pilgrims, prayed with 

them,spoketo them, and knelt with 

them in a moving ceremony of 

solemn splendour and devotion. 

The fervour shown by the vast 

crowd moved even the most 

hardened of journalists to say "This is 

truly a miracle, at Knock". 

Pope John Paull! had a message for 

all, one unique to places like Knock, 

and one dearest to his heart: devol ion 

to Mary. 

Parents, it is through exploration of 

some aspects of devotion to Mary that 

I wi II try to offer on behalf of the 

Brothers, Staff and Students, some 

consolation to the bereaved and some 

beneficial reflection for the rest of us 

- who are surely to follow, our late, 

dearly departed. 

Obviously there is much that can 

be said about Mary. Every doctrine 

concerning her is primarily a 

doctrine concerning Christ. And we 

all realize that Christ is the 

expression of God's relationship to 

tbis world. It is lhrough Christ, Our 

Lord, that we contact God. 

What this means, practically, is 

that every feast or doctrine of Mary 

tells us how God thinks about, and 

treats the world. 

The glorious Assumption of Our 

Lady, for example, carries bope for us 

all, both during life and even at death. 

Weare told bluntly in the Mass' 

opening praper. 

"All powerful and ever living 

God, you raised the sinless 

Virgin M(Jry ... body and soul 

10 Ihe glory of heaven." 

God is making a statement here 

about the meaning of life. He is the

giver of life and the lesson of the 

Assumption is that this gift has no 

end. In the case of the Virgin Mary the 

results ofthis gift were dramatic and 

immediate. In the case of our own 

loved ones, Paul O'Shea, Jim Geary, 

VinceCondro, Floriza Yammouni, 

Carlo Della and Jim Jordan, it is not so 

apparent or immediate, but the end 

result will be the same. 

Parents, it is only in recent times 

that death has come to be considered, 

by some, as the end, pure and simple. 

And it is only in recent times that the 

Church has emphasized, formally, 

the Assumption, as her way of 

rejecting this recent theory and 

reminding us that God's gift-giving 

extends even beyond death. It is the 

Christian assertion that, however 

powerful an enemy death might be, it 

is nevertheless doomed to be 

defeated. Death is not an experience 

God had originally planned. 

However, far from letting Adam and 

Eve fall into nothingness, God 

searched them out from their hiding 

place, and promised them a 

redeemer. His original plan to give us 

the gifts of life and being has not been 

undone by sin. 

Perhaps I can finish by saying that 

God loves each one of us. He really 

wants us, to live. to exist. He wants 

the dearly departed, specifically 

mentioned in this newsletter, to 

continue to exist, and they do. We 

who are sad at their absence from our 

scene, really should envy them. 

We who are still in this 'vale of 

tears' are called, by the sweat of our 

brow, to restore the world to its 

original beauty, to remake the desert 

once again into a garden. This is our 

task. We are also reminded through 

our belief in the Communion of 

Saints that in our sorrow we must not 

forget our duty of remembrance of the 

faithful departed - which is yet 

another task. 

"Come to their assistance you 

Saints of God: Come forth to meet 

them you Angels of the Lord; 

receive their souls and offer them 

in the sight of the Most High. 

Eternal rest grant to them OLord; 

and let perpetual light shine upon 

them." 

Proposed Building; 

I wish to inform you that the 

College proposes, within the next six 

to seven months, to continue the 

school building programme, 

this I mean a major building, 

and by 

part of 

the master plan. The segment that we 

are planning to construct will be a 

Theatrette. It wi II also incorporate a 

staff room and an art room. The actual 

position of the structure and its 

general shape will see it sitting 

between the library and the bell 

tower, sharing a common foyer with 

the library. The present A. V. room 

will revert to a showers-and-change 

room and toilet block for the front 

ovals. We have been thinking along 

these lines for some time. 

Developments that have taken place 

within the area of Drama over the past 

three or four years have hastened this 

decision, as we have found the 

present audio visual area unsuitable 

forthis discipline. Even if we were to 

spend a considerable sum, we still 

would not overcome its space and 

shape restrictions. 

Ladies Auxiliary Meeting 

The main business of the evening 

was the annual elections, with Mrs. 

Jean Flynn the retiring President and 

Mrs. Carmel Love unanimously 

elected to that position. 

I would like to publicly thank Jean 

for her tireless service and dedication 

to the boys during her two years, and 

extend a very warm welcome on 

behalf of all the mothers to Carmel, 

whose long association with the 

College. both here and at Alphington, 

would be well known to the greater 

majority of people connected with 

Parade. 

The following is Executive for 

1979/80: 

Immediate Past President: Mrs. 

Jean Flynn; Vice Presidents: Mrs. 

Kath Callinan, Mrs. Leah Fumei; 

Secretary: Mrs. Pat Phillips; Assistant 

Secretary: Mrs. Maureen Walsh; 

Treasurer: Mrs. Joan Luby; 

Committee: Mrs. Nola Atkinson, Mrs. 

Noelle Brennan, Mrs. Moira Brophy, 

Mrs. Dorothy Bourke, Mrs. Margaret 

Fleming, Mrs. Joan Gregor, Mrs. 

Marie Hammond, Mrs. Marie Lloyd, 

Mrs. Margaret Mcintyre, Mrs. Dev 

Neylon, Mrs. Elizabeth O'Halloran, 

Mrs. Elizabeth Stella, Mrs. Pat 

Thomas and Mrs. Val Williams. 

Drama Night: 

During the first two terms, form 

teachers, English teachers and many 

other teachers not connected to the 

Hunanities area, were busily engaged 

in preparing groups of boys in all 

aspects of Drama. There were two 

days of presentation of results of 

these efforts to the assembled school. 

This, I must admit, was a captivated, 

or rather "captured", audience, but I 

think that in general a good time was 

had by all, and out of these two days a 

group of items was selected for 

presentation on the Drama Night. 

The staff were very pleased with 

that particular night, not only the fact 

that, from a time point of view, it was 

spot on (7.30 p.m.-9.30 p.m.), but 

because the items themselves, 

developed mainly by the boys both in 

the production and presentation, 

were of a reasonable standard, 

especially considering there was no 

attempt to gather the best actors 

together in order to present a 

particular item. 

It is hard to select individual items 

or people for praise. I would like, 

however, to mention the Form I boys 

for their action song. I thought they 

really great, and most spontaneous, 

and I felt that the audience would 

have appreciated a little more from 

these very fine performers. In the 

gymnastic section, the trampolinists 

were competent and professional. 

Finally, there was the last play of the 

night produced by Form IV Room 16. 

These boys deserve special 

commendation for an excellent 

production. Their principal actor, 

Paul Sappiano, was outstanding, and 

his supporting actors were not far 

behind. A special mention to Rodney 

Prusa, who was chiefly responsible 

for the design and construction of the 

sets in this production. 

Victorian Institute of Secondary 

Education and H.S.C.: 

The present H.S.C. boys are a 

unique group in that they started the 

year under the control of the 

V.U.S.E.B. and have ended up under 

the control of a new organization. 

V.I.S.E. 

The background to V.I.S.E. policy 

on curriculum and assessment shows 

that this new organization is starting 

moves towards greater school 

participation in constructing 

curricula and conducting 

assessments in Year 12. 

As many of you would know, the 

1980 H.S.C. [Year 12) examination 

will be similar to the present 

situation, but as from 1981 there will 

be Group 1 and Group 2 subjects in 

Year 12. The Group 1 subjects are 

those already being offered at H.S.C., 

plus Computer Science and Physical 

Education. (both of which have been 

proposed for accreditation for some 

years and will probably be available 

for examination in 1981; in 

preparation for this, weare offering 

Physical Education as a subject at 

Form 5 level in 1980). 

The Group 2 subjects may ormay 

not be recognized by tertiary 

institutions. This is a matter which 

only the future will be able to 

determine. 

Proposals for Group 2 subjects are 

7

eing accepted by V.I.S.E. from 

schools who think they have 

particular skills in areas other than 

those which are presently recognized 

by tertiary institulions. We at Parade 

are thinking ofa Manual Arts Group 2 

subject and hope, evenlually, 10 

develop this through to the Year 12 

level. Atthe moment we are Ihinking 

of introducing Manual Arts into 

Form 5, 1980, bul we are finding that 

other schools are not very active in 

this area. Therefore, weare 

proceeding wilh caulion. 

For those of you who are parents of 

H.S.C. students, you can afford to be 

sympathetic with theamount of work 

that your sons are required to dosympathetic 

bul not soft. Many, many 

students have successfully gone 

through this period in past years and 

will do so in the future, and your son 

is quite capable of doing the sameon 

a day-by-day basis. 

A Final Word on Devotion 10 Mary: 

The Oclober Devotions are being 

undertaken with great spirit by all 

concerned. I have seen writings from 

Form IIIboys in essay work they are 

doing for llieir leachers. I have 

"pinched" a couple of extra cIs for 

you to read: 

NO. [- "Another important thing 

is the Rosary near the Library and 

behind E.R.C. The school devotions 

are going welilhis monlh 10 honour 

Mary. The prayers today behind 

Edmund Rice College wereoneof 

great devotion to Mary. I liked it 

today because there was no 

distractions or interruptions. [I was 

very peaceful and [enjoyed il very 

much. " 

NO. II - "Looking back,through 

this term's work, I have noticed a 

great emphasis on Mary, Our Lady. I 

like 10 sometimes pray 10 God 

through Ihe help of our Blessed 

Mother. The October devotions have 

made it clear in our minds, that Mary 

is special. Each day, we would pray 

the "Angelus", and every Tuesday 

and Thursday, one decade oflhe 

Rosary." 

I came across the following prayer 

in a Catholic weekly. [liked it so 

much that [had it placed in each 

boy's Marian Devolion booklet. It 

supports what has been said in 

another part oflhis newsletter - so as 

a final thought for October, [offer ilia 

you for your edification.

1979 ANNUAL REPORT 

The Executive of the Association for 

1979 comprised: 

President: John Giddens 

Vice President: Chris Sassella 

Secretary: Kevin Ryan 

Assistant Secretary: Ern Ellul 

Treasurer: Barney Luby 

Building & Maintenance 

Sub-Commillee Chairman: 

Max Synon 

Fund Raising Suh-Commillee 

Chairman: Arthur Goulding 

General Activities Sub-Commillee 

Chairman: Ted Hayhoe 

Brother Wright 

The Association's activities for the 

year proved to be quite satisfactory. 

even though some hopes at the 

beginning of 1979 were not fully 

realised. 

One notable feature of the year was 

that the Family Day was conducted 

for the first time as a joint effort with 

the Ladies' Auxiliary. The day 

proved to be quite a success, but more 

support from parents would have 

been welcomed on the day. However, 

lessons were learned and already an 

energetic group representing the 

Association and the Auxiliary are 

well advanced in their planning for 

the 1980 Family Day. 

Our share of the Family Day profit, 

together with what was received from 

the Special Effort conducted jointly 

with Alphington, meant that an 

amount just in excess of $5000 was 

raised during the year. This result 

reflects real credit on the Fund 

Raising Sub-Committee. It is a very 

satisfactory result when the other 

calls made upon parents are kept in 

mind. 

Whilst the amount of money raised 

cannot be overlooked, its value is 

increased many times over when it 

can be used to purchase materials for 

use at Working Bees when labour is 

provided by the fathers. 

Two other projects which occupied 

our attention during the year were the 

squash courts and the cross. In regard 

to the cross, it has been taken down, 

galvanised and painted. Hopefully, it 

will be back in place before the end of 

1979. 

The squash courts did not progress 

as expected because of delays beyond 

our control, but efforts made in 1979 

should see the roof in position early 

in the New Year. 

The value to the College of the 

work done through the efforts of the 

fathers during the year would be 

considerable. The Executive is 

heartened by the support received. I 

should mention the dedicated efforts 

of Max Synan in relation to the work 

on the cross and the squash courts. 

Another area where the fathers 

were active during the year was in the 

provision of supervision at some 

socials. We were also able to assist 

with the Art Show. These efforts were 

arranged by the General Acti vities 

Sub-Committee which was also to the 

fore with the catering arrangements 

after the three working bees. 

As I have completed my two year 

term as President, I take the 

opportunity to thank all fathers who 

have supported the Association. My 

particular thanks go to the members 

of the Executive and to the members 

of the sub-commillee. 

I would also express my 

appreciation to Jean Flynn, whose 

term as President of the Ladies' 

Auxiliary coincided with my term 

with the Association. 

Whatever the Association has 

managed to achieve on behalf of the 

College has been made possible by 

the encouragement we have received 

from Brother Wright. We thank bim 

for his support and the confidence he 

has shown in the Association.

REPORT 1978-1979 

Reverend Brother Wright and Ladies, 

It is with pleasure I present to you 

the Annual Report of the Parade 

Ladies' Auxiliary for 1978-79. 

At the opening of the school year 

we celebrated Mass at the College, 

and our first meeting followed with 

many mothers present. 

The Ladies' Auxiliary have been 

kept busy throughout the year with 

fund-raising activities. These 

included Family Day, Luncheon, 

Basket Supper Dance, Theatre Day, 

Cooking Demonstration and Art 

Show. Our takings for the year were 

approximately $6,000. We have also 

assisted with catering for student 

dinners, staff functions and student 

dances. In June, Father Anthony 

Hicks conducted a retreat for the 

ladies at the College. 

We have purchased stage curtains 

for Edmund Rice College, Carpet and 

Linoleum for the Brothers' living 

quarters and new crockery and 

cutlery. Our thanks must go to the 

sewing ladies who comealong to the 

College regularly each month. Many 

ladies have given their time to help 

with exam supervision. Many thanks 

to the ladies who help in the school 

canteen. These ladies are essential in 

the smooth running of the tuckshop. 

I would like to thank Mrs. Eileen 

Hecker and Brother Wynne for their 

help and co-operation over the year. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with 

those connected with the College 

who have lost loved ones over the 

past year. 

As my term as President of the 

Ladies' Auxiliary has come to an end, 

I would like to take this opportunity 

to thank Brother Wright for his full 

co-operation and help. Thank you to 

all the staff and especially the 

Brothers who give so much of their 

time to our boys. To Mrs. Moore, Mrs. 

Cashmore, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Pegg, 

many thanks for your help and 

friendship over the past two years. 

I would like to conclude by saying 

thank you to the following ladies who 

were on the committee with me,

THE PARADE COLLEGE ART 

SHOW,1979 

On Friday, September 28th, 

despite the inclement weather, Mr. 

Jeff Hook - caricaturist, artist and 

journalist, opened the Annual Parade 

Art and Craft Show. 

A crowd of loyal supporters of the 

Arts gathered to hear a brief. but 

interesting talk given by Jeff Hook, 

and this was followed by excellent 

caricatures of some famous public 

figures sketched by him, and these 

Family 

Day 

Our Family Day this year was again 

a tremendous success, due to the 

co-operation of the Mothers' and 

Fathers' Auxiliaries, and the Brothers 

and staff of the College. 

The activities commenced at 11.30 

a.m. with a barbecue. It was really 

great to see the families enjoying the 

hay rides, pony rides, crazy bikes, big 

wheel. etc. 

The Collingwood Football team 

was playing at the College on this 

particular day and the fathers were 

kept very busy selling hot dogs and 

drinks to the football fans. 

Our teenagers arranged a disco in 

the late afternoon, and this proved to 

be a success, so too was the 

continental food which was available 

throughout the day. 

Many of the students of the College 

were helpful in running 

competitions and games throughout 

the day. 

We were most grateful for the help 

given by the parents in setting up and 

manning the stalls. 

The profit for the day was 

$4,843.94. 

We look forward to our next Family 

Day to be held in March 1980 and we 

hope that it will be as enjoyable as 

this one.

were later auctioned and bought by 

the audience, who had eojoyed his 

expertise and his humour. 

Exhibits were many and varied - 

from the very large to the miniature, 

and more than 300 paintings were on 

display. The work of many 

well-known artists was enjoyed and 

discussed by the happy crowd who 

attended the opening night. and who 

ate chicken and sipped champagne 

while chatting with friends as they 

looked at the paintings. 

Many types of Art and Craft, such 

as china painting. macrame, stained 

glass techniques, pottery, jewellery, 

leather work and wood work were 

also on display, and were inspected 

with great interest by those present 

on the opening night and on the 

Saturday and Sunday following. 

The exhibition was well attended 

throughout. and the hard work of the 

organizers was well repaid by the 

interest and enthusiasm of all who 

visited the College Hall. As an annual 

event on the Parade calendar, the Art 

Show has become a 'must' for all Art 

enthusiasts connected with the 

College.

Historic Ceremon- ~sat Waterf Jrd 

YET another milestone in the distinguished history of the Christian Brothers was reached at MI. Sian on Sunday 

afternoon when thousands watched as the remains of the Congregation's founder, Bro. Edmund Ignatius Ricc, were 

carried. shoulder high. in solemn procession to their final resting place in Ihe beautiful new Chapel of the Blessed 

Sacrament. 

------------- BirlhplaceofEdmund Rice 

Theceremonies, in effect, marked 

the commencement of it new era of 

veneration to a great Catholic 

educator for the memorial chapel is to 

become a centre of pilgrimage and 

prayer for the cHnonisation of Bro. 

Rice. 

Church and State. headed 

respectively by the Papal Nuncio. His 

Excellency. Most Rev. Gaetano 

Alibrandi. and the President of 

Ireland. Dr. Patrick). Hillery. paid 

due homage to the memory of Bro. 

Rice by their presence for what, 

undoubtedly, was a great occasion. 

Yes. Sunday was a day to cherish 

and remember. Into Waterford, and 

into Mount Sian came 1.000 

Brothers. The Communities of 

18 

Ireland were there in strength, and 

the allen dance of past pupils from the 

schools oflreland, from Belfast to 

Dingle. from Wexford to 

Roscommon. matched and surpassed 

the effort of the Brothers. The Day and 

all that it commemorated. all that it 

promised had evoked a response 

wherever in Ireland the spirit and the 

work of Edmund Rice lives. 

But this was not an event for Mount 

SiDn alone. It was not an event for 

Ireland alone. All the Houses of the 

Congregation of Christian and 

Presentation Brothers throughout the 

world had made possible the erection 

of the Chapel of the Blessed 

Sacrament as a filling resting place 

for Brother Rice's remains. So the 

world came toSion. 

The mere recitation of the list of 

places represented tells its own 

eloquent story of the magnetism of 

Rice and the desire to maintain his 

spirit and his work in these times: 

That list needs no embellishment 

from me. They came to Sian from the 

towns and cities and parishes of 

Ireland. They came in considerable 

strength from Parade College. 

Bundoora. Victoria. Australia. from 

Melbourne in Australia. from New 

Jersey, U.S.A .. and from 

Newfoundland, home of the Superior 

General. and Waterford's newest 

Freeman, Very Reverend Bro. G. G. 

McHugh. the 11th successor to 

Edmund Rice.

Waterf:rd 

Pilgrimage 

On August the 26th a chapel in 

Waterford, Ireland. was opened to act 

as a permanent resting place for the 

remains of Edmund Rice. Since 

Parade was the first Christian 

Brothers school in Australia it was 

asked to include a student 

representative amongst a group of 

about fifty Australians who were 

journeying to Waterford for the 

opening. The school decided to send 

two boys so that August 7th saw Jeff 

Milroy and myself at Tullamarine. 

Aftera planetrip of about 24 hours 

we touched down at Tel Aviv and 

then travelled directly to Jerusalem. 

On the whole, the holy sites in and 

around Jerusalem were somewhat 

disappointing. With only a few 

exceptions, they lacked the 

atmosphere that I expected as most of 

these holy sites were covered with 

ugly, over.ornamentated churches 

which seemed to cover the real 

meaning. It took a while to ad/'ust to 

the sights and smells ofjerusa emespecially 

the sight of soldiers with 

rifles casually slung over their 

shoulders. 

We also travelled north to the 

Gallilee area which was a very 

pleasant contrast after the rocky 

barrenness of the south. The land was 

quite fertile, there were gum trees 

growing there and the sea itself was 

quite beautiful. 

Next we flew to Athens which was 

quite unimpressive. Athens was 

orientated towards the tourist too 

much for my liking. Most of the 

things we did here we did at the same 

time as a dozen other bus.loads of 

tourists. We did not find the 

Athenians to be terribly friendly - 

they seemed mainly intent on 

knocking over pedestrians with their 

speeding cars. In a taxi once we asked 

the driver what the speed limit was. 

he didn't understand but when we 

asked "how fast can you drive?" he 

quickly reacted by putting his foot on 

the accelerator. 

After a few davs in Greece we went 

to Rome. Rome \vas an incredible 

place. It was a new experience to be 

surrounded by so many old and 

beautiful works of art and 

architecture. St. Peters was 

breathtaking - it was impossible to 

absorb all the bcouty in one visit. 

Some of us visited the excavations 

underneath St. Peters and it was a real

Captain's 

Report 

1979 has been a successful year for 

Parade. Sportswise, the enthusiasm 

and participation of the students 

involved has been very good. This 

has not only been conveyed in the 

spirited manner in which Parade 

students played the game, but in the 

results shown by our Swimming, 

Athletic, Football, Soccer and Cricket 

teams. On behalf of all these students 

I would like to thank the coaches 

involved for all the time and effort 

they gave. I know the students would 

also wish me to give a word of thanks 

to all the teachers for their combined 

efforts at trying to bring the most out 

of the students. A special word of 

thanks is in order for Br. Wright. I 

honestly feel that very few others 

could have worked as hard, or played 

out the very difficult role of 

Ileadmaster as well as Brother has 

this year. 

The general enthusiasm and 

participation of Parade students is 

another feature of our school. One 

can see it in the way a large group of 

boys get together to prepare for a 

school social or amongst the younger 

students on a sports day or amongst 

students on the Parade College 

Founder's Day. I can sense this spirit 

especially amongst the H.S.C. 

students. Here the atmosphere is 

friendly with people mixing freely 

and doing as they please with little 

worry of pressure from peer groups. 

This bond which exists between tbe 

6th form students and the behaviour 

which they display has set a good 

example for the younger students to 

follow. 

Finally I would like tosay that I am 

just as proud of being associated with 

such a group of studenls as I am at 

being elected to a council such as our 

1979 School Council. The 1979 boys 

worked well and achieved more than 

one could expect from 13 students 

with H.S.C. commitments. The 

council regularly visited classrooms 

and did its best to help the students 

with their problems and suggestions. 

Amongst other things the council 

also tried to increase the activities of 

the school with certain lunch-time 

competitions and greater use of 

facilities such as the pool at E.R.C. A 

students radio program 'was started 

and the counci organised numerous 

events such as the Walkathon and 

Founder's Day. 

So, I believe 1979 was a successful 

vear for Parade, but I believe if the 

enuncil and students work harder 

next year and if the leadership shown 

by our H.S.C. students is followed 

next year will be even more 

successful.

Report 

The Religious Education of the 

senior boys in 1979 was entrusted to 

Br. Wright, Br. Nangle, Mr. Walsh, Br. 

Shacklock, and Mr. Cosgriff. Others 

involved in the overall education of 

the boys were Mr. Colvin, Br. Challis, 

Mr. Crennan, Mr. Foley, Mr. Joss. Br. 

McMahon. Br. O'Neill. Mr. Nicholls. 

Mr. Pyrgos, Miss Williams and Mr. 

Thompson. 

The leaders of this group. and of 

the school - the School Council - 

were capably led by Tony Todaro. 

Dale McCann and Michael Pelly. It is 

to Tony's credit that he did not 

demand too many things of the staff 

during the year. 

The spirit of this particular group 

of boys was one of the finest features 

of 1979 - many of the boys showed a 

prospensity to study that had been 

lacking in this group in earlier years 

at Parade. 

Hopefully all of the boys will profit 

in some way from their year in H.S.C. 

at Parade in 1979.

Experience 

PROGRAMME 

The year of 1979 saw some 86 boys 

participate in the Schools Work 

Experience Programme. 

The boys were placed out in work 

situations during term 2 and went 

into many and varied occupations 

including Accounting.lluilding, 

Drafting. Dental Hospital. 

Physiotherapy. Television, Motor 

Mechanics. Chemists. Surveying and 

LaTrobe University. 

Our aims of the Work Experience 

Programme are:- 

1, To expand the schools 

educational programme into the 

business community. 

2, To create a liaison between 

business and the educational 

bodies, 

3. To give more relevance to the 

student's learning and his joh 

_ 

opportunities, 

4, To give students experience in job 

application and subjecting them 

to interview panels, 

I would Iiketothankall the staff for 

their unfailing efforts in the 

interviewing and selection of 

students. without their help and the 

willingness of the employers to 

co-operate the programme could not 

work.

YEAR 9 AND 10 REPORT 

Year 9 settled in well considering 

most classes had many new faces, 

and the camps held in the first few 

weeks of school helped all students to 

get to know each other. 

The sport competitions held each 

week promoted class spirit in the year 

9 and 10 area and everyone had a 

chance to participate. 

The Drama Day was an opportunity 

for everyone to show their talents and 

all students enjoyed participating in, 

and viewing each other's plays, The 

best. chosen for Drama Night were 

well received by the keen audience of 

parents and friends. 

The standard of year 9 and 10 was 

high and all students eagerly 

participated in the Religious, 

Academic and Sporting aspects of 

their school life. The staff enjoyed the 

boys enthusiasm towards all of these 

school areas. 

1979 was a very enjoyable year for 

all associated with year 9 and 10 and 

it is hoped everyone goes on to a very 

bright 1980.

Sporting Achi.ev ~ments 

40 

During the year Paradians, both 

past and present have achieved 

notable successes in the sparling 

field. Some of thDse which have CDme 

to mv attention are listed below. 

AmDng past students, Gary Honey 

won bDth the VictDrian and 

Australian IDng jump 

championships, while Brian Hamill 

scored a silver medal in the VictDrian 

titles - in the under 19200 metre. 

JDhn Dinan, the 1977 college captain. 

WDnthe Bill Howard 100 metre 

nDvice event at the Stawell Easter 

c[lrniva1. 

Current students alsD equipped 

themselves very well. Chris and 

Andrew Fenech were members Dfthe 

VictDrian under 18 water pDlo team 

which WDnthe Australian 

champiDnship. Chris was 

vice.captain Dfthe team. BDth were 

then selected in the Australian team 

tDtDur Europe. 

Three of our cricketers were 

selected in the A.C.C. team for the 

VictDrian SchDols Championship - 

Stephen Cashen, Frank GleesDn and 

Tony Corcoran. The captaincy was 

shared between four players, a 

different one for each match. All 

three of our players were fortunate 

enDugh to be honDured with the 

captaincy. BDth Stephen and TDny 

made the cDmbined SchDols ND. 1 

team to play the V.C.A. eDits, and 

Stephen went a step furtber in 

making the Victorian schDols team to 

play in the Australian 

Championships in Adelaide. 

In athletics a numher of students 

WDnmedals at the Victorian and 

SchoDlbDYs championships. David 

Buttifant and Michael Skerritt scored 

gDld in the pole vault and triple jump 

respectively; while the follDwing 

athletes gDtplaces in the events listed 

- Stephen Hall (shot, discus and 

hammer), RDbhie Wood (hurdles, 

high jump), Glen Evans (lDng and 

triple jump), and Craig SextDn (800 

metre, IDng jump). Indeed Craig 

SextDn's effort in the 800 metre won 

him a place in the VictDrian 

SchoDlbDYs team for the Australian 

ChampiDnships in Perth. 

The later part of the year saw Mark 

Beers collecting a swag of tennis 

trophies - the VictDrian Hardcourt 

Under 16, Victorian CBA Under 16, 

the Berri Cup NatiDnal Under 15, the 

Perth Coca,CDla Under 15, and he is 

in the final of the Victorian 

Schoolboys title which is still to be 

played. 

Congratulations to all these 

sportsmen on their outstanding 

achievements. 

Bruce Walsh (SpDrtsmos!er).

Sportsmast ~r'sComments 

The sporting program at Parade has 

manv important purposes. Here I 

would like to highlight just two of 

them. 

Stated simply, we intend that each 

student (1) should experience a wide 

range of sporting/recreational 

activities, and (2) be accorded the 

opportunity to participate at a level 

appropriate to his abilities in the 

sport(s) of his choice. 

Clearly, il is impossible for us to 

fulfill these two objectives 

completely. However, I believe we 

can justly claim to do as well as any 

school, and far better than most. 

As a student progresses through 

the school, he experiences a variety of 

activities each year. When 

considered alongside the physical 

education program, the range is quile 

extensive. Hopefully, students will 

develop sufficient inlerest in some 

activities to become regular 

participants. For those students who 

develop an interest in some activities, 

we attempt to provide for Iheir 

participation. As an example, the 

athletic skills learned in physical 

education arc used in intra-school 

competition. Those interested in 

further development can join the 

inter-school squad which competes 

in a number of warm-up meets, an 

inter-state carnival. and the A.e.e. 

carnival. For those who wish to 

participate on a more regular basis, 

the Old Paradians' Athletic Club is 

available. A similar overall pattern 

can be found with many activities. 

It is in this context that the 

Associated Catholic Colleges 

competition forms an integral and 

very important part of our school's 

sporting and recreational program. It 

is predominantly through the A.C.e. 

that we are able to provide our 

students with the opl,ortunity to 

participate at a high evel in the 

sport(s) of their choice. It is a well 

organised and controlled 

competition. 

Through the A.C.e. we provide for 

athletics, swimming, cricket, 

football, soccer, basketball, tennis, 

hockey and cross country. The 

college also has representative teams 

competing in waterpolo and 

volleyball. Then there are the 

Saturday morning cricket, football 

and hockey competitions. Less 

formal intra-school sport caters for 

mosl of the above activities as well as 

horse riding, golf, squash, 

sailing/canoeing, fishing, handball, 

baseball, table tennis, skating and 

Eurolwan handball. Perhaps we 

shou d also include the lunch time 

soccer, basketball, tug-o-war, etc., 

contests. 

For those interested, the Old 

Paradians have a number of clubs 

which students are encouraged to 

join. These include athletics, 

football. basketball. skiing, 

volleyball, cricket and hockey. 

In addition to the above collection 

of activities, students are exposed to 

an even wider variety through the 

physical education program. 

By all of this we are attempting to 

offer students an extensive range of 

sporting/recreational activities, and 

a level at which they can participate 

to their own satisfaction.

FIRST ELEVEN CRICKET REPORT 

The A.e.e. cricket season of 1978-79 

was terminated at the completion of 

the fifth round. Parade won all 3 games 

completed and it was unfortunate that 

2 rounds were lost because of had 

lNeather. 

The team performed well 

throughout the season with each 

member contributing admirably. 

Special thanks must go to Ivlr. John 

loss and Mr. Graham Allen for 

coaching the side at various stages of 

the seasoo. The whole team extends its 

thaoks for such a great job achieved by 

the respective coaches.

JUNIOR ELEVEN (1978/1979) 

In a season seriously affected hy 

rainy Wednesday afternoons the 

Parade boys showed real application 

and ahility and with one game to go 

they were on top of the ladder. 

Unfortunately a 1st innings loss to 

Drayhrook in the final game of the 

season enabled Essendon to finish the 

season on top of the ladder. Parade 

finished in second position. 

The team was well led hy Tilll 

Donohue. a very capable wicket 

keeper, and gave great support in the 

field to the bowlers Richard Geary, 

Russellllrock, Ed Flynn and Tim 

Nelson. Peter Stackpole and Michael 

Ryan gave the attack variety with their 

spinners. 

The main batsmen for the team were 

Russell Dickson, Peter Stackpole, Tim 

Donohue and on a fe\-\' occasions 

Richard Geary entertained us with 

some very strong hitting. 

One of the real highlights of the year 

occurred in the last match of the season 

when Danny Gleeson, playing his first 

game, scored an unbeaten half century, 

an encouraging sign for the future. 

Congratulations and thanks to all 

those who represented the school in 

this team during the season. 

Congratulations are extended to St. 

Bernard's, Essendon, premiers for the 

season.

UNDER 14 

The U14 cricket season was fairly 

pleasing. It was entertaining crickel 

due 10 the attacking play of the 

Parade team and opposing schools. 

Of course Ihe games would never 

have eventualed if it had not been for 

the parents and the Brolhers who 

provided transport for the team each 

Saturday. 

The coaches were excellent, they 

helped every player in the team in 

many different ways. Peter Barnsley 

started the season as coach, but was 

forced to leave after a couple of 

weeks. He was a great coach and 

umpire, we congratulate him on a job 

well done. After Peler left Bro. Wright 

took over and demonstrated another 

of his many talents. Also Bro. Wright 

instilled enthusiasm 

the learn. 

and spirit into 

Finally congratulations should go 

to the players. who performed to the 

best of their ability and who willingly 

gave of their time to represent their 

school.

(Teom Manager). 

UNDER 13 - A AND 8 

For the Under 13 cricketers, 1979 

was a very successful and encouraging 

season, resulting in Premierships for 

hath teams. 80th teams managed to go 

through the season undefeated, and 

even in the close games Parade always 

came out on top. 

in every match, every boy took the 

field with the desire to win, and if the 

balsmen didn't do too well, then the 

bowling and fielding would be first 

class. This demonstrated the greal 

team spirit and enthusiasm which 

developed during the season. 

Probably the most outstanding 

player for the season would have been 

the 'W captain, Gary Wilson. Gary was 

dismissed only once in six matches. In 

each other innings he had to retire at 

the compulsory score of 30 runs. 

Our thanks go to all the parents who 

provided transport, scored and 

umpired. Our special thanks go to Mr. 

Rubifa who coached both teams, and 

put in many hours of organizing and 

training. Also our thanks go to Br. 

Wynn and Br. Meehl who assisted the 

learns on Saturday mornings. and we 

thank them for lheir interest and 

support. 

Jamie Carroll 

(Captain U13A) 

As coach of these teams, it was most 

pleasing to see the endeavour that 

went into such an unprecedented year 

of success. This enthusiasm came not 

only from the twelve players in each 

team but from the squad of 40 players 

who allended training at some stage. 

Over 35 boys played at least one game 

and performed to their utmost. 

Everyone contributed and although 

there were constant changes to bath 

teams, they were never robhed of the 

desire to win nor the will to do their 

best. 

This general attitude and the 

example of two fine captains Jamie 

Carroll and Gary Wilson, made my task 

very simple. Jamie and Gary made all 

the necessary decisions on the field 

and utilised every member within 

their teams. 

I can proudly conclude that they 

were not teams of champions but 

champion teams. Peter Rubira 

(Coach).

FIRST EIGHTEEN 

In conlrast to last year's, the 1979 

season was played on dry, firm 

grounds, This was prohahly to our 

advantage as we hAd a lot of smaller 

skilful players, We had a few practice 

matches before the start of the season, 

but not enough. We were badly let 

down by some schools which had 

arranged matches but did not meet 

their commitments. 

Early season training was keen, 

and it soon became evident that we 

were going to rely on quick disposal 

of the ball and pace. Our first game 

resulted in an easy win over Watsonia 

Tech. St. Leo's, Box Hill provided 

stiff opposition, but gained a win and 

confirmation of some player's 

abilities. Rostrevor College, 

Adelaide, was no match for our brand 

offootball. 

Round 2, Parade had the bye in 

Round 1 which indicated the form 

teams. North had defealed the 

favourites, St. Kilda, and was the 

team 10 beat. The first three quarters 

were very even in a great game of 

football. At % time Parade was 5 

points in front, and late in Ihe last 

quarter was 15 points in front. North 

scored 3 very quick goals, and that 

had to be the end. Just as quickly 

Parade replied with a goal to regain 

the leadatthe 28 minute mark. Bul as 

the sun set North moved the ball to 

centre half forward and received a 

free just before the bell. The result 

was a goal and victory 10 North. 

No other team came anywhere ncar 

North for the rest of the season, so full 

credit to Parade. Congratulations to a 

fine team in North Melbourne, 1979 

Premiers, and to Br. Aron, coach.

Round 3:To losea game in theA.e.e. 

competition is virtually 10 lose a 

premiership, yet the Parade team did 

not lose heart and battled hard in the 

hope of Norlh losing a game. 

Braybrook put up a spirited 

performance, and played beller than 

scores indicate, bul Parade played 

very consistent football, kicking at 

least 6 goals a quarter.

Round 4: St. Paul's Altona could not 

be taken lightly at their own ground, 

and again we did not have it all our 

own way. Even though Parade was 

well in front at half-time and kicked 

8.1 in the 3rd quarter, Altona kept 

fighting and kicked 6.4 in the same 

quarter.

Round 5: St. Bernard's Essendon 

proved to be a much harder 

proposition than anticipated. 

Although Parade led at every change, 

we could not get a comfortable break. 

Only in the second half did we have 

control of the game, but then only 

marginally. Concentration and 

persistence won the game for us.

Round 6:Chadstone, fresh from wins 

over St. Kilda and De La Salle, was 

ready to conquer Parade on their 

small, tricky oval. It was a wary 

Parade team which ran onto the 

ground, but jumped the opposition 

from the bounce and kicked 5.4 to 1.0 

in the first quarter. Chadstone never 

recovered, and thanks to a 

match.winning 9 goals from Tony 

Corcoran, Parade ran out comfortable 

winners.

Round 7: De La Salle always 

presented determined opposition, 

but on this occasion we had control of 

the game from the start. A five goal 

burst in the third quarter put the 

result beyond doubt, and our poor 

kicking for goal was the only 

blemish.

Round 8: We made the trip to 

Mentone without our main 

heavyweight, Kris Wenckowski, and 

top rover Frank Gleeson. This, 

however, could not really explain our 

dismal performance. Certainly it was 

a windy day, and we were in front at 

half.time. Only the Parade players, 

not the Parade team, reappeared after 

half.time. St. Bede's kicked 10.7 to 

our 2.2 for the rest of the game.

Round 9:This was a very good game, 

although both teams were weakened 

hy injury. St. Kilda just managed to 

maintain a lead all day, and at times 

Parade managed to peg back the lead 

but could not quite maintain it. Thus 

our season ended on a losing note 

with the 15 point loss.

Best: S. Watson, D. McCann, T. 

McGough, N. Gilmore, M. Pelly. 

Dale McCann's presence was an 

unexpected bonus to the side as 

captain and despite injuries through 

the season was a stalwart at centre 

half.back. Terry McGough, the 

vice-cBrtain. played some great 

footbal as a ruck-rover, and had a 

very consistent season. Frank 

Gleeson was a prolific kick-gelter and 

goal-kicker, and was sadly missed for 

the last two games. Jim Madden 

roved well at times but wedid not see 

the best of him. Phil Hammond had 

rather a quiet year compared to his 

last year's form. Alex Morelli showed 

glimpses of talent but could not 

produce it. Stephen Smith really 

fired in one game, but his form 

eluded him for most of the season. 

Mick Pelly was a handy rover all year. 

Tony Boffa did a lot of good things in 

the back pocket.

David Stephens put in some handy 

games in the forward line. David 

Brophy was a real workhorse as 

ruck-rover and never gave in. Steve 

Watson did a giant job as support 

ruckman. Brendan Mullane proved a 

handy utility player. 

Our first vear Senior foot bailers 

were very p~rominent.Tony Corcoran 

kicked a remarkable 40 goals for the 

season and was a damaging forward. 

Noel Gilmore used his pace and skill 

to full advantage. Michael Wood 

proved to be a rugged tear-through 

half-back. Tony Lotan was another 

strong player who was a most 

effective ruck-rover. Kristian 

Wenckowski was our top ruckmao, 

and always had a great bearing on the 

game. Tony Beers won clearly on the 

wing in most games. Damian Reeves 

did well and has the potential to be a 

very good backmao. Joseph jach 

played well on many occasions and 

will be a handy player. Tony Canavan 

has talent not yet seen on the field. 

Life was made easier for the team 

by our manager/trainer, Peter Roche, 

and goal umpire John Moroney. 

These two are ctppredated more than 

they realize. We must also commend 

the mothers who provided after-game 

refreshments. 

Congratulations to our top 3 

footballcrs for 1979: 

Best & Fairest: Terry McGough 

Runner-up: Dale McCann 

Most consistent: Tony Corcoran 

Br. j. O'Neill, 

Coach 1st XVlll. 

JUNIOR EIGHTEEN 

The Junior XVIII had a fairly 

successful season, losing only two 

matches, to the eventual premiers, St. 

Bedes' and equal runners-up, 

Essendon. Parade would probably 

have done better had it not had such a 

long list of injuries and unavailability 

due to work experience. 

Parade was a very even side with 

each player putting in one hundred 

per cent. The team was well led by 

first rover, Russell Dickson, who, 

along with the prolific kick-winning 

ability of Russell Brock and the 

strong play and long kicking of Greg 

Hanlon. was constantly putting 

Parade into a!lack. The focal point of 

the forward line was Andrew Smith, 

whose brilliant marking was a 

headache for opposing backmen. He 

was ably backed up by Richard Geary 

and Paul Mclnerney. 

The backline was very tight with 

Paul McEvey, John DeAngelis, 

Michael Ryan and Andreas Gianello 

turning out many forward thrusts and 

they were supported by Tim Nelson 

and Paul Villanti. Around the ground 

ruckman Paul Thorpe was a valuable 

player and Mick Reid gave a lot of 

drive from the wing. There were a lot 

of other players who have not been 

mentioned who also made good 

contributions. 

Once again this season, thanks 

must go to Mr. Ramsdale, who gave 

up a lot of his time and did an 

excellent job as coach. Overall, 

Parade pushed all sides in the 

competition and could be well 

pleased with its efforts.

UNDER 13A 

Season 1979 was a most successful 

one for Ihe Under 13A's. The opening 

match saw Ihe team combine together 

to win comfortably over Pascoe Vale, 

The early build up of fine team play 

and a confident play-on style paved 

the way for future victories. With 

consecutive wins to their credit and a 

high percentage placing them on top 

of the ladder, the boys faced St. Kilda 

at home in the fifth round. Both teams 

were undefeated. Although 

outmatched in physical strength and 

heigh I. the boys led from the first 

bounce and went on to a good victory 

at home. They continued their 

winning run until the relurnmatch at 

St. Kilda - the second last match of 

the season. In very windy conditions, 

with persistent rain, the boys lost to 

St. Kilda by two goals, their only loss 

for the entire season. The slage was 

set for the Grand Final against SI. 

Kilda. With fierce enthusiasm and 

desire to win, the boys led all day, 

eventually taking out the 

Premiership by eight goals. 

Thanks must go to our faithful 

supporters and fathers who 

untiringly helped each Saturday. 

UNDER 13B 

In finishing third it would appear 

that the Parade U13 football team did 

not have a very successful year. 

However, in retrospect I was 

extremely pleased with the war in 

which every player contrihute, to the 

teams performance. 

The bovs showed a lot of courage 

and determination even in the two 

defeats which they suffered. Both 

these came from schools that did not 

have an A team and hence these 

teams were fractionally stronger. 

Therefore the efforts of all those who 

participated should be commended. 

My personal thanks go to the 

parents for their inlerest and 

encouragement throughout the 

season. A special note of thanks must 

go to the Bowlen family and the 

Henry family for helping out with 

organization of the games each week. 

Thank you to allthe Brothers and 

parents for providing transpnrt on 

Saturday mornings. Finally 

congratulations and thanks should 

go to the leaders of the team on the 

field, B. Walsh (captain). A. 

Consolino (vice) and C. Ferraresse

consistently well were C. Bowlen, IV.

GENERAL REPORT 

On Friday night, 16th March, 

Parade reasserted itself as one of the 

major forces in swimming in the 

A.C.e. Parade's third position overall 

was a marked improvement on the 

previous year. The revitalization 

came about by sheer hard work. 

Training commenced virtually the 

first week back and continued, five 

mornings a week. until the morning 

of the A.e.e. Carnival. A stronger 

senior side led by Chris and Andrew 

Fenech, Michael Alldritt and 

Anthony Lotan set the pace at 

training and the junior swimmers, 

noticeably Greg Busch, Jack 

Callaghan, Paul O'Donnell and Peter 

Treppo made sure that their age 

group followed suit. 

Parade attended four carnivals as" 

build up to the A.C.e. and after a 

rather humiliating defeat at the hands 

of Ivanhoe Grammar, were more 

determined than ever to do well at the 

A.e.C. From then on it was 2000 m 

each morning up and down the pool. 

Eliminations were held at the 

Richmond pool on Friday, March 9th, 

and Parade qualified for every event 

except one. The boys from 

Alphington under the guidance of 

i\'lark Johnston were again swimming 

extremely well. 

The swimmers saw a motivational 

film, called "The Glorious Game" at 

P.LT. It dealt with gh'ing a second 

effort even after you had tried your 

hardest. It proved very successful. as 

anyone who was at the A.C.e. saw 

some magnificent second efforts by 

Parade swimmers. Some swimmers 

beat their previous best times by four 

or five seconds (e.g. A. Fenech 200 

F/S by4 secs., [. Callaghan 100 F/S by 

5 seconds). 

Congratulations swimmers, a 

really great efforl. Special thanks to 

the cheer squad and supporters who 

provided great vocal supporl. 

Parade finished 3rd overall, 2nd in 

the Juvenile Cup, 4th in the Junior 

Cup and 3rd in the Senior Cup.

FIRST XI 

Greg Busch:Performed well in times 

of pressure and saved Parade many 

times. Well done. 

Peter Epifano: Generally played well 

but at times tended to lose his 

concentration. A reliable full back. 

Jason Schembri: A great attacking 

full back who played an important 

role in supporting his forwards. 

Unfortunately he did not score. 

Robert Wegner: An inspiring leader 

who consistentlv played well and his 

experience sho\ved throughout the 

year. His courage. play and 

excellence was a credit to the team. 

Gianni Campobassi: A very reliable 

sweeper who played consistently 

well. Always backing up and 

frequently attacking to score valuable 

goals. 

Aida Basile: J\ good centre-balf wbo 

kept most of his opponents down to a 

minimum performance. He made the 

job of the sweeper easier. 

Thomas Campbell: An exciting 

player who used his skills to elude 

the defence in scoring many goals. lIe 

has the potential to become an 

excellent [}Iayer. 

Frank Co aei: A quick winger 

creating many opportunities for the 

centre for"wards. 

Stephen Marshall: A slow starter but 

when he played he proved to be solid 

in defence. A good effort. 

Stephen Cashen: An elusive centre 

forward. often breaking through the 

defence. capping off a great season 

scoring 9 goals. 

Nick Leo: Scorer of many goals but 

unfortunately could not combine 

with the other forwards to produce a 

team effort. 

Bruce Pfeiffer: When called upon. 

Bruce was solid in defence and 

reliable in stopping the opposition. 

Silvana Ricchiuui: A dependable 

substitute who performed well when 

needed. 

Frank Valeri: Played well early but 

was unfortunate not to participate in 

many games. 

Goal Scorers:

BRIEF REPORT 

After an enjoyable season. Parade successfully finished thi rd behind North Melbourne and Altona. The team 

suffering from acute shortness. got off to a fai r start with good individual performances. but due to bad luck we could 

not win many games. Towards the latter part of the season, we began to plCiY as a team and proved to be a well balanced 

side. Thanks to Mr. J. Pyrgos for his time and effort. He provided some good insights of the game to someofour 

inexperienced players.

A.C.C. 

Carnival 

For Parade. this year's carnival 

followed the pattern of 1978. Early 

successes gave us a good start to the 

aggregate points. However, as the day 

progressed we gradually slipped 

from our lofty position to finish in 

sixth place overall. Currently we are 

suffering from a dearth of sprint 

talent; an area where Parade has 

traditionally been strong. Since the 

points are weighted somewhat in 

favour of the sprints, it is clear we 

will need to make a special effort in 

this area. 

The best performances for the day 

were: 

FIIlS1': Stephen Smith (long jump); 

Stephen Hall (shot - record, discus); 

Greg Hanlon (javelin); Marc Perri 

(shot); Michael Skerrill (long jump); 

Chris Glus/ (BOO, high jump). 

SECOND: Stephen Kus IBOO): 

Andreus GiuneJIo (hurd es); 

Craig Sexton (BOO); Michael Skerritt 

(hurdles). 

THlllD: Stephen Jones (walk); 

Terry Twomey (long jump); 

Robert Hormann (hurdles). 

Congratulations to all team 

members for their efforts, and 

especially to Damian Brasier, the 

captain. 

Thanks 10 those people who helped 

in preparing the team - Bro. Challis, 

Bro. Wright, Bro. O'Neill, 

Mr. Hughes, Mr. Derrico, Mr. Rubira 

and Mr. Dulke.

RESULTS 

The results of the Parade team 

were most pleasing, the team moving 

one more notch lowards the top. 

Hl76 5th Parade 1346 pts. 

1977 3rdParade944pts. 

1978 3rd Parade747 pts. 

1!I79 2nd Parade 644 pts. 

During this time 51. Bedes have 

won the title 1977. 78. 79. and have 

been OIl pretty much the same score. 

Can Parade take it off? Yes, I thin k 

so, although I think it will he much 

harder to get from 2nd to 1st than it 

has been to get from 5th to 2nd. 

54 

Ilowever.looking at ourscores, it is 

going to be easierfor Parade to 

improve because some of au rage 

groups had big scores. 

If we get some good U/13s next 

year, all we have to do will be to 

work hard at next year's U/16 (this 

year's U/15) and also next year's 

senior - and we will be in business. 

One tbing lacking tbis year was a 

few hard funs, particularly from our 

U/16s up. 51. Hedes' team entered 

hoth the Victorian Championships 

(which they won) and the City of 

Melbourne Championships (wbich 

they won). Hath these areon a 

Saturday afternoon and I thought 

that they showed the benefit for this 

sacrifice of an afternoon that thei r 

runners made. Ithink we must do 

this next year. 

One final point which was very 

pleasing was that this year we had 

boys getting places in five of the six 

races - lasl year only one hoy got a 

place. 

We will have a pie night in the first 

week or so of term III (when we get 

the speci aI pennants for the U/13 

and U/14). 

Manv thanks to all the boys who 

trained. You have been wonderfulvery 

easy to deal with.

GENERAL REPORT: 

In term 2, Parade entered a Junior 

Volleyball team into tbe Division II 

competition played at Heidelberg 

Y,M.C.A. The boys had never played 

competitive Volleyball before and tbe 

only skills that they had acquired 

were those learnt in the Physical 

Education classes. 

Grasping the chance to playas a 

team the boys concentrated on 

developing their skills and learning 

the rules and tactics of the game at 

lunchtimes. 

After losing their first game, the 

Volleyballers knuckled dnwn and 

from then on continued to show 

improvement. They won their way 

into the finals, narrowly defeating 

Upfield in a lense semi-final in five 

sets. Parade then met Sirathallen in 

the Grand Final. The team, by this 

stage, was now Illaying very good 

volleyball and tley easily defeated 

Strathallen in straight sets, 

The Premier team was - Paul 

Franz, Alex Fuscalda, Pat Keely, 

Sean McCormack, Dave fones and 

Rod Garrard, 

The team, after being promoted to 

Division 2, is finding the competition 

a little tougher, but they are applying 

the same dedication which earnt 

Ihem a premiership in Division 3.

Riding 

The horse riding scheme has 

proved most popular again this year, 

and the number of competent riders 

is increasing. The tv1en's Association 

has again been of great assistance in 

erecting and improving a large shed 

for storage and loose boxes. The 

number of horses is now twenty-two, 

and they have been in good shape all 

yea r. "Jock", our stylish cart-horse, 

\vas entered in two shows. At 

Whittlesea, driven bv Garv Dundon, 

he won a second and a fou-rth. At 

Kilmnre, he found some stiff 

0l,position, and did not win a ribbon. 

T Jat day he had four apprentice 

drivers in Brendan Beck, Michael 

Curwcn, Glen Curwcn and Andrew 

Stephens. 

The weekend now sees a large 

number of riders arriving. and the 

horse yards are a scene of constant 

activity. On certain days we are 

allowed to travel through Janefield 

to the outlying hush, which gives the 

riders some variety. 

Ilr. Walsh hasspenllheyear 

ti relessly teaching hays 10 ride for 

one and a half days a week. He 

should be proud to see the present 

expertise of some of his former 

pupils. We are greatly indebted to Br. 

Walsh not only for his teaching, but 

also for his general help and advice 

in the rather specialized area of 

horses. 

Many thanks are due to those who 

have lent or given us horses. and to 

all those who have helped in horse 

care and saddlery advice.

Saturday 

Hockey 

Parade fielded three teams in the 

Independent Schools Hockey 

Association. Again we are grateful to 

Mr. Doug Stewart and Mr. Jim Irvine 

of the Greensborough club. and to 

Brendan Harrison and the Old 

Paradians Club. 

Jim Irvine. who is Australian 

vice-captain. presented trophies at 

our final night. and answered 

questions from his very interested 

audience. 

Our open team won six of their 

seven games. Ian Mitchell won the 

awards for best and fairest and for the 

most croals. In Saturday games he 

score~ twenty of his fifty-five goals 

for the season. Tony Fitzpatrick won 

the award for best team man. and 

Mark Addicoatthe award for best 

club man. 

The Under 15team was captained 

by Rick Theunissen who also won the 

award fnr best team man. John 

Kolenda was vice-captain and 

runner-up to Brendan Hyde for best 

and faires!' Mark Bruniatti proved a 

stalwart goalie. All the team deserve 

congratulations for their persistence 

on the field and their hard 

after-school training. 

The Under 14 team started the 

season with wins over Brighton 

Grammar and Peninsula Grammar. 

During Ihe season they had a further 

win against Xavier and a draw with 

Ivanhoe Grammar. Wesley and SI. 

Kilda were lao strong for Parade. 

Brendan Ryan led the team. winning 

awards for best and fairest and for 

most goals. He scored eleven goals in 

seven matches. Lucas Addicoat was 

very good in goals. and won the 

award for besl team man. Jim Hayhoe

FORM IV 

Due to the movement of boys from 

Form 3 to Form 4, they found 

themselves with boys they did not 

know much about. For this reason we 

decided to have camp early in first 

term to rectify the problem. I think 

when boys live together for a week, 

cook. swim and participate in various 

sporting activities, many friendships 

are formed. In the evenings we 

participated in Human Relationship 

activities enabling tbe boys to find 

out more about tbemselves and 

others. These camps took place at 

Phillip Island Y.C.W. and Santa 

Monica. Fairhaven. 

The July camps took place at 

Warrandyte, Milgrove and Ivll. 

Beauty Chalet. These camps were less 

structured to enable boys to interact 

with each other. Activities 

participated in were skiing, 

canoeing, hiking. 

After the July camps, Brother 

Wright suggested the school sponsor 

a boy in an Outward Bound Camp. 

The boy, MarcPerri, was chosen to go 

on the program from a list of three 

boys. With the gradual build-up of 

aurown camping equipment. we will 

have the more adventure type 

camping system, and in the coming 

year hope to sponsor two boys in the 

Outward Bound Movement. 

CamIS - 

1979 

FORM I AND II 

The structure of this camp was 

designed to be a self reliance 

exercise. The boys experienced a 

short hike, pitching a tent, cooking 

themselves a breakfast. spending one 

nighl under canvas, living one night 

at E.R.C. as a community. 

It is important for the boys to be 

acquainted with this type of camping 

as with further buying of equipment. 

the boys will experience more of the 

Adventure type camps as they go 

through their school life al Parade. 

I think camps are not only 

character building but also 

encourage the boys to stand on their 

own two feet. 

I would like to thank the staffwbo 

contributed their time and effort to 

the camp. Normal school days were 

conducted during the camps. 

FORM III 

With the influx of Alphington 

sludents, we thought it would be of 

benefit to have Human Relationship 

type camps early in first term. The 

Human Relationship activities are 

types of games the boys played to 

form new friendships, renew old 

friendships - learning about each 

other; and most of all prepare them to 

work and co-operate with each other 

for the coming academic year. 

These camps took place at Phillip 

Island Y.C.W. and Santa Monica, 

Fairhaven. In October the boys had 

two days on a private property near 

the Fraser National Park, Eildon. This 

camp. under canvas, was designed to 

enable the boys to participate in the 

more adventure type activities such 

as hiking and canoeing. A good side 

effect of the camp was that all boys 

were able to survive their own 

cooking. The boys who could not 

cook, soon learned that they would 

go hungry if no attempt was made. 

The boys worked very hard during 

their walks because they had to carry 

the canoes with them each day. The 

co-operation was tremendous. 

Thanks must go to Terry Hollyoak for 

his assistance on this camp_ 

Thanks also to all staff attending 

the camps.

Old Para lians Association 

The year has been very active with 

five major events taking precedence 

overthe rest. Theseare: 

[a) The Old Paradians involvement 

with the Edmund Rice 

Pilgrimage to Waterford, Ireland. 

(b) The setting up ofa talented Old 

Paradians Centre Committee 10 

guide the Old Paradians Centre 

through its various stages. 

(c) The addition of three more 

"TENETE AWARD" recipients to 

the august ranks of the previous 

recipients. 

(d) The adoption of the budget and 

constitution for the Old 

Paradians Association Hockey 

Club, thus making the Hockey 

CI ub officially Ihe fifth affiliated 

body. 

(eJ The inauguration of the 

"VAUDEVILLE DINNER" where 

brother, teacher, and boys from 

both the senior and preparatory 

colleges, old boys, old boys wives 

and friends of Parade produced, 

directed and acted the large 

crowd through a very happy 

evening. 

EDMUND RICE PII.GRIMAGE 

The most important event of the 

year was the Christian Brothers 

Pilgrimage 10 the Blessingand 

opening of the Blessed Sacrament 

Chapel at MI. Sian, Waterford where 

the remains of Edmund Rice, the 

founder of Ihe Christian Brothers. are 

laid at resl. 

Parade College was the best 

represented of all the Christian 

Brothers Schools outside Ireland 

with five Old Paradians and two 

Parade boys being present for the full 

ceremonies. 

The Old Paradians present were 

Br. Dan Marzarin;, Bill Dunne, Bill 

Reid, Des Benson and myself as 


Association and Tour Leader for Ihe 

Australian, New Zealand and Papua 

New Guinea contingent. The 1\"1'0 

Parade boys were Michael Love and 

Geoff Milrov. Whilst in Waterford I 

was interviewed together with the 

organising committee on radio Eire 

the National Radio. 

To commemorate the occasion the 

Old Paradians Association presented 

an engraved bronzed plaque to Pat 

Giles the president of the MI. Sian 

Past Students Union, thus marking 

the firsl official meeting of the oldesl 

Christian Brothers College in the 

Southern Hemisphere with the 

64 

Oldest Christian Brothers College in 

the Northern Hemisphere. 

Pat Giles reciprocated with a 

perspective drawing of the Blessed 

Sacrament Chapel in a suitable frame 

with the crest of the Old Paradians 

Association onthe upper left hand 

corner and that of MI. Sion on the 

upper right hand corner. It is the 

inteotion of the Old Paradians 

Association to present a photograph 

of the plaque etched by Perry Fletcher 

portraying Ihe poem titled Ml. Sion 

and written by Antoni Yark an Old 

Pardian, together with the framed 

perspective of the Blessed Sacrament 

Chapel to Rev. Br. J. M. Wright the 

headmaster of Parade College. 

TENETE AWARDS

The night was full ofheartfeJt 

congratulations for the recipients - a 

wonderful night- and one which 

will live in aUf memories. 

HOCKEY CLUB 

The year was significant in the fact 

that our fifth affiliated body, the Old 

Paradians Association Hockev Club, 

was formed and adopted by the Old 

Paradians Association. 

Under the presidency ofBrendan 

Harrison, Secretary David Cosgriff 

and Treasurer Kelvin Raywood the

North West E Division and finished 

the season in fifth place. 

The best and fairesl was awarded to 

Parade 5th former Ian Mitchell. The 

captain and coach for 1980 will be 

John Smolka. 

VAUDEVILLE DINNER 

For some time now the executive of 

this association has been concerned 

at the apparent lack of involvement 

between the old boys and the college. 

In order to engender a closer 

relalionship Ihe Old Paradians 

spearheaded the idea of a vaudeville 

dinner with the producer, director 

and cast coming from the ranks of the 

"familyofrarade". 

Miss Trish Rooney from Parade 

Preparatory College undertook to 

produce and direct the show, Frank 

Mount catered and an excellent 

family night was enjoyed by all. 

Everyone who attended this year's 

show is eagerly looking forward to 

next year's performance as is a large 

number offamilies who could not 

attend this year. This association 

heartily congratu lales all who 

participate in this happy evenl. 

FOOTBALL CLUB 

This year the Old Paradians 

Association Amateur Foolball Club 

celebrated its Golden Jubilee, 50 

years of service to youth. We all share 

the disappointment of the club when 

the last kick of the last game lost them 

the match and had them relegated to 

B grade. Had Ihey wonthe game they 

would still have been in A grade. 

The football club had a successful 

year overall fielding six teams in A 

section, A reserve Section, Under 19. 

Under 16 (Bl, P.D.I.F.A.), Under 16 

(B3, P.D.J.F.A.) and Under 14 (C1, 

P.D.I.F.A.). 

Brian Weyman, the outgoing 

president, is to be congratulated for 

the dedicated and capable way he 

steered the club Ihrough his long 

presidency. A vote of thanks must 

also be extended to Norm Nugenl.the 

outgoing secretary and Leo Collins 

the outgoing treasurer for their 

excellent contribution to the club. 

The executive of this association 

welcomes the new president of the 

Old Paradians Association Amateur 

Football Club, Brendan McCusker, 

Brendan is an experienced 

administrator, a former club secretary 

from 1970-1973 and is well equipped 

to head our oldest affiliated Body. 

Congratulntions and welcome is 

exlended also 10 Brian O'Donnell and 

Peter Peyton as vice-presidents and 

to John Tudor as secretary. John 

played his 300th game with the Old 

Paradians Football Club on 26th May, 

1979, a career spanning sixteen 

seasons. 

Th" new treasurer for the club is 

Arthur Rowe, Sian Kenny is the 

V.A.F.A. member and IIrendan 

Danaher is coach for another season.

ATHLETIC CLUB 

TheOld Paradians Association 

Amateur AthlelicClub had a 

successful year with 57 members- 

27 seniors and 30 juniors in the 78-79 

season and 71 members - 42 seniors 

and 29 juniors currently in the 7!l-80 

season. 

Highlighting the 78-79 season was 

the Under 17 C grade interclub 

premiership at the University. A 

number of clob records were hroken 

during the season. 

The 79-80 season sees the club with 

good competing strength including 

seven girls in the junior section. Bill 

Schofield is president, Br. Tom 

Coghlan. Vice-President. Mick 

McLaughlin, Secretary and Bruce 

Walsh Treasurer. 

The Cross Country or winter season 

was not as successful as last year but 

was notable because the cluh had 

seven Christian Brothers competing. 

Once again the V.A.A.A. held its 

cross country Championship at 

Parade Bundoora Ihereby giving the 

club a lift in confidence and prestige. 

An interesting innovation this year 

was the introduction of the 

community fun funs. These events 

proved so popular they have been 

adopted as an annual event. 

Next season. June to September, 

1980. wilJ see both the Victorian and 

Australian 12 k championships at 

Bundoora as well as the Victorian and 

Australian schoolboy 

championships indicating the 

suitability of the venue in the eyes of 

the V.A.A.A. 

SKICLUB 

The Old Paradians Association Ski 

Club had a successful season. The 

winter was only an average one but 

most members and visitors had a 

good skiing season. Facilities on the 

mountain have been greatly 

improved by both the Alpine 

Development Aothority and the club. 

The lodge has had soft furnishings. 

carpets, additional heating and 

improved cooking facilities added. 

ExternaJlv the lodge surrounds have 

been landscaped and work parties 

this slimmer are concentrating on 

outdoor summer facilities. 

Both the Alpine Development 

Authority and the Ski Lift operators 

have spent large sums of money on 

extra lifts to increase the skiing area 

and decrease the waiting time whilst 

the slopes have been groomed to 

improve their surface. The roads also 

have been improved and the parking 

areas substantially increased. 

The club champion for 1979 was 

Alan Clarke the president who won 

the event by a split second over a 

difficult slalom course 00 the 

Chamox Ski Run. His nallle will be 

added to the Vincent Murphy 

Memorial Ski. 

The club. under the guidance of 

Alan Clarke. President, Marshall 

Clark. Secretary, and Charles Griss. 

Treasurer. look forward to another 

successful seHson in 1980. 

CRICKET CLUB 

The Old Paradians Association 

Cricket Club had a disappointing 

year in 78-79 season and were 

relegated to Bgrade. However. the 

committee regrolJ ped and recrtlited 

additional players during tbe winter 

thus improving the outlook for 7!J-80 

season. 

At present the club has44 players 

fielding a side in each ofB, Cand D 

grades and is led by President-Coach 

Ian Bibhy, Secretary Anthony Wyatt 

and Treasurer Mark Blockley.

captain oftbe D grade XI and all 

teams have tbeir eyes set on tbe finals. 

Some players have made 

impressive scores. Noel Brenan 

scored 75 runs and seven other 

players bave scored in excess of 50 

runs each. 

During the year the club laid 

outdoor carpet over the concrete 

pract ice wickets at Parade 

Preparatory costing in excess of 

$400.00. Tbe improved batting 

performance of the players is directly 

attributable to this eoterprising 

move.

VALETE DINNER 

On the occasion of the H.S.C. 

Valete Dinner at the college the Old 

Paradians Association again sent the 

hays a telegram wishing them 

success in their examinations and 

welcoming them into tbe ranks of the 

Old Paradians. 

The Association was saddened by 

the news ofthedeatb of Rev. Br. P. L. 

Duffy. Br. Duffy spent lIIany years at 

the blue stone pHe and was greatly 

thought of by many prominent Old 

Paradians. Frank Moont attended the 

funeral at Strathfield on behalf of the 

Association. 

Doe of the regrets of the 

Association is the lack of a spiritual 

director. Br. W. P. Maloney served in 

that capacity for many years and it is 

hoped tbat next year the gaping void 

can be filled. 

To the executive of the association I 

extend as president sincere praise 

and thanks for tbeir untiring supporl 

during the year. 

To the secretary Ray /o.'!oneyand tbe 

assistant secretary Terry Scott the 

Association is indebted for the 

smooth manner in wbich they 

executed their duties throughout the 

year, wbilst to the treasurer Leon 

Whiting. the association is tbankful 

for his accurate and competent 

keeping ofthe books and the 

provision of the annual financial 

statements. 

To the vice-presidents Ian Bibby, 

Maurie Sedawie. Barrie Williams. 

Kevin Johnston and Bruce Mansfield 

the association extends its sincerest 

thanks for tbeir continuing support.

PARADE PRAM PUSH FOR 

KAMPUCHEA 

On the 23rd October, 1979 an idea 

was formed that would help relieve 

some ofthe suffering of the ill fated 

Kampucheans. 

Five weeks later. on an overcast, 

latc spring morning, despite 

frustration from the bureaucracy of 

the Heidelberg City Council, the 

objective of five enterprising 

Paradians was finally realized. 

At 8.00 a.m. on the 23rd November, 

1979 several stud en Is walked 

through the gate of the George Knolt 

Reserve in Collingwood holding a 

large "Steelcraft" sign. As the 

number of form 4 students in 

altendance increased a collection of 

finely tuned prams arrived in a 

school car. By 10.00 a.m. the scene 

was set for the commencement of a 

gruelling ordeal. An altempt on the 

World Pram Pushing Record. 

The elected committee after much 

deliberation decided that it would be 

run in six hour shifts every shift 

consisting of 30 people who ran 100 

metres each. The spirit of the "push" 

was exemplified by all tbose wbo 

showed a courageous display and 

pushed in all four sessions. 

After 14 hours we were still ahead 

of the World Record equivalent, 

thanks to the aid and encouragement 

from the many invaluable parents 

and teachers. 

As the following morning wore on 

and people began their second and 

third shifts legs began to fatigue. 

Suddenly electronically timed 

sprinklers were activated and this 

caused people to fiee from saturated 

lents and undoubtedly contributed to 

our downfall. All complaints should 

be addressed to . 

As the stars were fading with the 

arrival of first light so did the hope of 

breaking the elusive record. With 

only a few minutes remaining and 

still a considerable distance behind 

the record. the A.S.C. news team 

arrived to witness our downfall. A 

meagre 49 km behind the world 

record. But the effort was not in vain 

for during the past 24 hours the 

students had raised a mammoth 

$3,771.81. 

Our gratitude must be expressed to 

tbe following teachers for their 

invaluable assistance and 

encouragement: Mr. Jennings, Mrs. 

Carson and Br. Shorthill. 

Our thanks must also go to those 

who altended the day giving moral 

support. 

Above all congratulations and 

commiserations must go to the 59 

determined students. 

Next year we will altem pt ??

Principal's Rep( rt 

1979 opened with a college 

enrolment of 303. This is due to the 

college trying to keep class sizes to a 

reasonable number, while at the same 

time catering for as many of those 

applying as possible. This shows the 

nature of tbe staff of tbe Preparatory 

College in being prepared to accept 

large classes and help give as many 

boys as possible the influence and 

training for which Parade College is 

noted. 

But, unfortunately, we have some 

parents negating the efforts of the 

teachers by pulling tbeir sons in a 

double standards situation. Parents 

wanting our standards of obedience 

and right behaviour, must themselves 

insist on these at home, with their 

friends or with whom-sa-ever they 

allow their sons to associate. What 

type of T.V. is acceptable in your 

homes? Who controls the knob? 

judging from general talk of quite a 

number of boys, I feel some parents 

need to take charge of the knob a little 

more and make sure those shows 

which are quite unchristian in tone 

and content are not viewed by those 

who may be affected. Practicality of 

Faith in the Family is one of our 

important criteria. From a survey held 

recently in some of our classes, I feel 

that some parents are allowing a 

selective obedience to the 

Commandments of God. Parents, you 

have not done your duty just by getting 

your child or children into a catholic 

school. you also have to encourage and 

insist on the observance of the la\vs of 

God and His Church. Maybe it is time 

to consider a fe-application and 

re-appmisal each year and give a 

chance to those not privileged at 

present, but who are loyal to the 

requirements of their Faith. 

One of the strengths of Parade 

Prepamtory over many years is the 

stability of the t,ay slaff, this helps to 

build up spirit in both Staff and 

Studenls and enables the staff to take a 

greater interesl in the total college. Our 

longest staff members are Mr. I. Bibby 

and Mrs. Giselle Vermont, New to the 

staff this year are Brolher D. Burland in 

Grade Six, Mr. D. Harnetty assistant in 

the secondary classes, Mrs. M. Holford 

assistant in the Primary, Mrs. C. Casey 

for Speech and Mr. M. Warry assistant 

groundsman. We welcome these to the 

College and pray that they will have a 

long association. 

We opened the vear in a slight 

turmoil due to unfinished renovations 

for the Staff and Administration, 

which due to some technical hitches 

could not be completed over the 

Christmas holidays. However the 

delav was well worth while, for we 

were at long last able to use the front 

door as an entrance. This was further 

enhanced by a mosaic of Our Lady of 

Perpetual Help, patroness of the 

Brothers, which was given by the 

:-'lothers' Association. By changing the 

design of the old Form Two Blue Room 

we \overeable to have a more suitable 

room for staff preparation and 

conviviality. A Principal's office, 

interview room, copy room and sick 

room were also included. 

Plans for the development of new 

Primarv Classrooms continued 10 be 

drawn'- permits gained and despite all 

the red-tape we have at long last gone 

to tender. Hopefully the building 

programme will at last get off the 

ground before school closes for the 

year and our primary classes housed 

more suitably by Easter. Unfortunately 

we cannot build as much as we need. 

but as the parents were advised, by 

commencing a continuous building 

programme, these deficiencies would 

be overcome in the years to come and 

Parade Preparatory will have a plant 

suitable for the total education of the 

boys. Much of the finance for this 

building programme will be due to a 

building pledge which was introduced 

this year and we are grateful to the 

99.5 % of parents who entered the 

pledge and are faithful to their 

promise. A bank loan of $100,000 has 

been entered into to cover the cost of 

the first stage of the building. 

1979 has been a sad year for the 

Preparatory for during the year we lost 

many friends of the College. We offer 

our sympathies and continued prayers 

for these deceased and that God will 

bless their families with continuing 

peace and faith. Among Ihose whom 

we lost were: 

Bryan Plowman of Form 2 Green, 

son of Mr, and Mrs. Plowman of 

West Ivanhoe. 

Mrs. Richards, mother of Lyn Geary 

of our office staff. 

Mr. Jim Geary, Lyn's husband, father 

of James and Richard. 

Mr. Luigi Bello, father of Stephen 

(form I) and Paul (form 5). 

Mr. H. Carler, father of Mr. G. Carter. 

Mr. Whaler, grandfather of Mark 

Gallagher (grade 6). 

Mrs. M. Mandile, mother of Michael 

(form 1). 

Mrs. H. Lewis, grandmother of 

Stewarl (form 1). 

Mrs. F. Brennan, grandmother of 

Peler (form 1). 

Mr. A. Griffin, grandfather of Chris 

Villanti (form 1). 

Mr. F. Molisi, grandfather of Frank 

Bongiorno (grade 5). 

Mrs. M. Devlin, grandmother of 

Julian Makin (grade 5). 

Mrs. Malishawskas, grandmother of 

Lucas (5) and Tomas (6) Zdanius. 

Mr. j. Goodison, grandfather of 

David and Michael (6). 

70

Mr. M. Read, grandfather oflason (6) 

and Simon (form 2). 

Mr. E. Handley, grandfather of Paul 

Whiting (6). 

Once more I have nothing but praise 

and thanks for the aid, advice and work 

of the College Committees. The 

Barbeque Committee under the 

Chairmanship of Mr. Albert Carrazza 

had only a few short weeks to prepare 

nnd yet we had one of OUf most 

successful nights, during which a 

profit of some $9000 was realised. The 

fathers' Association once again held 

successful "Father and Son" sports 

nights in the first term; a 

"Communion-Tea" in the second 

term; they also ran a "Tipping" 

competition and worked with a 

camhi ned committee for the Special 

Effort. My thanks to John Cabassi and 

his committee for their loyal support 

and help during the year. 

The Mothers' I\ssociation, under the 

presidency of Mrs. D. Bourke, worked 

hard during the year to raise funds and 

unite the "Parade Family" with many 

successful and enjoyable social 

functions. They also took part in a trial 

course for "Effective Parentage", 

which we hope to get really off the 

ground in more areas next year. VVe 

thank Dorothy for her efforts for the 

College. 

Once more the generosity of the boys 

was shown hy the way they supported 

the many requests during the year; 

Missions, Multiple Sclerosis, Gama, 

Austin Hospital appeals, to name a 

few. A total of over $3000 was 

collected in many ways. Our Mission 

appeal will go principally towards 

special requests of certain missions 

conducted by the Christian Brothers in 

South Africa, the island of Dominica 

where the Brothers need to rebuild the 

school and monastery which were 

totally destroyed by "David", Peru and 

New Guinea. 

Our Annual Camps were once again 

enjoyahle and fulfilled the purposes 

for the camps. Form Two went to 

Tallangatta, form One to Swan Hill, 

Grade Six Green to Wilsons 

Promontory, Six Blue to Silver Creek 

and Grade Five to Shoreham. 

Perhaps this year was one of our 

most successful of recent years for 

Sporting results. After last years 

farcical attempt (due to weather) to 

hold our athletics, this year's was far 

more enjoyable with the "Lynch" 

house having the honours for the day. 

From this was chosen a squad which 

trained hard and long and showed the 

success of this in the results achieved 

at the various carnivals. The boys won 

the Juvenile shield of the Combined 

Secondary Schools Association and 

performed well in all the otbers. We 

had about twentv bovs chosen to 

represent the zOIlein'the State Schools 

Primary Sports. 

Tbe Primary Classes took part for the 

first time in many of tbe District State 

School Competitions and held their 

own, winning tbe football, still trying 

to score goals in the soccer and 

performing well in the cricket and 

athletics. Our thanks to Mr. G. Carter 

for this organisation. 

The Cricket teams performed well in 

the first term with the Under 14 team 

taking out the Premiership, our 

congratulations to this and the other 

teams who performed creditably. 

In the football we won the 

Premierships of the under 14 "B". 

under 12 "A" and under 11 sections of 

the Catholic Junior Schools 

Association. Our congratulations to 

these teams and the not so successful 

ones for their efforts during the year for 

the way in which they played the 

games. 

Our thanks go to Mr. Mark Johnson 

for h is efforts in coaching our 

swimming squad and bringing them to 

such a successful pitch. We won the 

Junior shield of the C.S.S.A., and the 

"Fogg" shield for the Primary schools 

of the Northcote District. 

In the Tennis we were represented 

by many boys who performed well 

despite the difference in the ages and 

we thank the boys for their efforts and 

time. 

Brother Burland and Tricia Rooney 

brought the Basketball teams to many 

successes during the year in the three 

seasons which arc conducted hy the 

C.Y.M.S. for schools. 

We wish to thank all those faithful 

parents who Saturday after Saturday 

sacrificed their free time and helped in 

so many ways; transport, coaching, 

vocal and visible support. 

All these results would not have 

been possible without the efforts of the 

coaches and here again we see the 

dedication and patience of the staff. 

We thank Mr. G. Scally, our 

sportsmaster, for his time and 

organisation and for coaching the 

under 13 football and cricket and 

athletics; Mr. I. Bibby for helping the 

organising of these sports and for 

coaching the under 13 football and 

under 11 cricket; Mr. W. Bottriell for 

looking after the under 14 football and 

cricket. Mr. G. Carter the under 12 

football and cricket, Br. E. Duckworth 

for his efforts at the Tennis, Br. D. 

Burland and Miss P. Rooney for 

looking after the Basketball, Br. T. Cole 

for looking after the under 11 football 

and cricket and the cross-country 

squad. 

The cultural side of the boys 

education was not negolected in 1979 

due to the tremendous efforts of Mrs. C 

Casey to whom we offer our sincere 

thanks for fitting us into her already 

tight schedule. Boys were entered into 

public speaking platforms and 

although competing against boys and 

girls more senior to them, did the 

college credit and were highly praised 

for their efforts. Perhaps the highlight 

of the work of Mrs. Casey was the 

Drama Night when so many boys 

entertained the parents to a delightful 

night of entertainment. 

Our thanks are offered to Mrs. B. 

Bihhy for her time in accompanying 

the many tedious singing lessons and 

helping Mr. Bottriell to bring some 

tone into the boys voices. Besides the 

choirs of Drama Night the Form Two 

Choir were highly praised for their part 

in the Heidelberg Musical festival. 

Before concluding this report, I 

would like to pay tribute to the three 

Brothers with whom I have had the 

privilege to live. I thank them for their 

patience and their encouragement and 

advice at so many difficult decisions 

that have to be made. I thank the 

housekeeper, Mrs. Jayne, for looking 

after the community so well, despite 

the difficulties caused by her accident. 

Behind successful organisations is 

an efficient office staff, and I thank 

Mrs. Pauline Howell and Mrs. Lyn 

Geary for their patience and 

graciousness in performing the many 

tasks asked of them. 

I thank Mrs. Breeding for her 

efficiency in looking after the welfare 

of the boys in the tuckshop every 

morning. I thank the many mothers 

who so regularly came along to serve 

the wants of the boys. 

I thank Mr. R. Bourke for holding the 

financial "reins" and keeping the 

books up to date. 

To Mrs. Giselle Vermont and Miss 

Fionna Laurie our sincere thanks for 

running the Iibarary so efficiently in 

such a tight corner. 

To the general teaching staff I offer 

my thanks for their efforts and 

co-operation during the year. 

Lastly hut not least I thank the boys 

for their co-operation in all that was 

attempted and pray that next year, 

those who move on will be a worthy 

product of Parade Preparatory, no 

matter where this leads them. To those 

who will return next year I pray that 

they will continue to be an example to 

all they meet and help the new 

"Paradians" to settle into the spirit of 

the College.

Il gives me great pleasure to present 

the annual report of the Parade 

Preparatory College Fathers' 

Association for 1979. The aim of this 

Committee during the year was to 

provide opportunities to further 

strengthen the fine relationship that 

exists between the School and the 

families and friends associated \vith 

the College. 

The Father and Son Sports Nights 

proved once again to be most popular 

and the response to these was 

excellent. 

The Quarterlr Meeting was most 

succcessful an< well attended. Our 

guest for the evening was one of the 

most popular folk singers and 

broadcasters in Australia todav, 

namely Denis Gibbons who entertained 

72 

office as President of the Ladies 

Auxiliarv. It has been a very 

worthwhile and rewarding'two years, 

not only as the leader of a fine, 

hard-working group of committee 

ladies. but also in helping our boys, the 

Staff and the Christian Brothers in 

their work and dedicated efforts for 

those boys. 

Our functions during the year 

received the usual support that 'we 

have come to appreciate over the years 

and this is borne out by our fund 

raising figure of $3,242 for this year. 

Perhaps the highlight of these 

functions was our first attempt at an 

International evening. where we 

endeavoured to encourage the 

Nationalities in the College to 

participate in school functions and 

share their culture with us. It was a 

ver",successful evening and I hope it 

will continue as a annual event. 

One project we were very happy to 

be associated with was the installation 

in the entrance foyer of the 

magnificent mosaic of Our Lady of 

Perpetual Help, chosen hy Brother 

us with chat, guitar and song. 

The highlight of the second term 

was undoubtedly the Father and Son 

Communion Dinner which was an 

outstanding success with (hree 

hundred and twenty fathers and hays 

in attendance. Our thanks are 

extended to Bro. Adams for his 

preparation of the liturgy and Father 

Murray for celebrating the Mass. The 

evening was catered for by the 

Mothers' Auxiliary and I must pay a 

tribute to them for the excellent job 

they did. Our guest for the evening, 

recording and T.V. artist Seona 

McDowell, provided an hour of 

musical entertainment to "cap off" 

what was a most enjoyable occasion. 

The Father and Son Fishing 

weekend to Fraser National Park was 

thoroughly enjoyed by all who 

atlended. Our thanks to Father Bergin 

for celebrating Mass with us at the 

camp site. 

Working Bees have been conducted 

during the year when the need has 

arisen for minor maintenance and 

repairs and I would like to thank those 

fathers who atlended on these 

occasions. 

During the year there has been a 

close liaison between the Fathers' 

Committee and the Mothers' t\uxiliary 

resulting in their involvement in the 

catering for the Communion Dinner 

and the joint function of an 

Adams from Rome. 

We continued our support of the 

Edmund Rice Juvenate by means of the 

Silver Circle. 

Once again I must thank Mr. and 

Mrs. A. Ferrazza for their generosity in 

opening their home to us for two 

functions this year. 

I would also like to thank Mrs. 

Elizabeth O'Halloran, Treasurer. and 

Mrs. Val Williams. Vice President, for 

their support and friendship during 

my two year term and Mrs. Carol 

Darroch, Secretary, and Mrs. Maureen 

Gallagher, Vice President for their 

support and efforts during this year. 

As 1 move on from the College this 

year, it is an appropriate time for me to 

thank everyone connected with the 

College, past and present, and 

especially Brother Adams for his 

support in every function 1 have 

undertaken. 

May God bless you all and the 

College in the years ahead. 

Dorothy Bourke 

President. 

International Dinner held during the 

third term. 

Fund raising forms an important 

part ofthe Association's activities and 

this year due to the drive and 

enthusiasm of our finance 

sub-committee the amount of $5,500 

has been raised. 

The major fund raising ventures 

were the Football Tipping 

Competition and the joint Special 

Effort with Bundoora. The amount 

above together with what was raised 

last year has paid for the new 

hasketball court that is now in use at 

the College. 

Il is anticipated that the long 

awaited new Primary classrooms will 

become a reality during 1980 and I am 

confident that all will support Bro. 

Adams in his efforts to provide the best 

facilities for our boys and their 

teachers. 

I would like to thank all members of 

the commiltee for their support and 

enthusiasm. Their efforts during the 

year have been greatly appreciated. 

Finally our thanks to Bro. Adams for 

his co-operation and guidance during 

the year, for his untiring efforts on 

behalf of the College and to all the 

parents and friends who have 

supported our activities during 1979. 

J. P. Cabassi.

interest had been added to the 1978 

staff. There were the same old faces 

evident as the periods came and went. 

but we found that lvlr. J tarnetty had 

joined us to assist those who were 

having difficulty with 1'..'lathsand 

English. As we couldn't all go intohis 

classes, we had to settle for giving him 

about twelve who were clever enough 

to convince us that they needed help 

more than the rost of us! 

Cricket and Swimmi ng \vere soon 

under-way and we had quite a few 

representatives in both sports. The 

swimmers acquitted themselves very 

well in the Inter-School Carnivals, and 

the cricketers became the Under 14 

premiers for 1979. We were proud to 

have 32 of our class representing the 

College in sports teams in the first 

term. 

On the 16th March a reshuffle of 

subjects took place when Mr. Bottriell 

disappeared for four weeks - we think 

it was long service leave! ~1r.Harnetty 

took over the Maths class, Mrs. Watson 

joined the staff to teach us Geography, 

and Mrs. Bibby took charge of the 

choirs. 

When we returned to classes after 

Easler, everything was normal again 

(?) aod we were busy preparing for the 

Annual Form 2 Camp at Tallangatta. 

We left Melbourne on Sunday, April 

22nd for a wonderful camp week. The 

good weather helped to add to the 

enjoyment of the camp, and by the end 

of the week, we had been worn out bv 

hiking, cross-country running (up a - 

hilH), horse riding. bus trips, and an 

aCllte shortage of sleep. We felt that life 

would never be the same agaio and 

only the arrival of the May holidavs 

helped liSto survive. We are grateful to 

Mr. Lonsdale who looked after liSat 

Tallangatta. Pat. Mark and Bill 

O'Conneli. our bus drivers and good 

friends, and Mr. Ed Ilourke who 

helped Mr. Sholly. Mr. Sinclair and 

Mr. Ilottriell to supervise the camp. 

Towards the end of May holidavs. 

we were saddened by the death of 

Bryan Plowman, on Ascension 

Thursday morning. Bryan had been 

our class mate for three years, and we 

really felt his loss after a long illness. 

horne with the courage and 

cheerfulness for which we will always 

remember him. ~lay Bevan rest in 

peace and keep a watchtul eye over us. 

The second term brought football 

competitions to the fore, and again. 

many of our class were members of the 

premiership Under 14 side. Others 

played with the Under 13 side, and 

some represented the College in 

basketball and tennis teams. 

i\lJ went well in school until the end 

of July when our Class Master again 

deserted us! This time. Mrs. Holford 

took our Geography periods. and our 

Maths classes were combined. 

I\S the Paradian goes to print. we are 

well into Term 3. with the end of the 

year rapidly approaching. Again, we 

were saddened by the death of Mr. Jim 

Geary, who had been our coach of 

some sporting teams for a number of 

years. and our prayers and sympathy 

go to Mrs. Geary and her family. 

We arc grateful to all who have 

helped us 10 enjoy our years at Parade, 

Alphington. and trust we will always 

be good representatives of our class.

FORM 2 BLUE The Form 2's went on 

the traditional camp to Tallangalta and 

we certainly appreciated the quality of 

accommodation, the dry clothes and 

food prepared by people who knew 

how to cook, Mr. Boltriell must surelv 

recognise that we are the seniors and 

deserve the best. 

\tVa visited many places of interest, 

Dartmouth Dam, Beechworth, 

Woolshed Falls, Burke's Museum, Ned 

Kelly's cell and the Hume Weir. At the 

camp, we had horse riding and, of 

course, One Tree Hill! Another feature 

of the camp was the concert. The show 

seemed to have everything but lacked a 

censor! 

We feel the annual camps are an 

important part of Parade and wethank 

our parents and the staff for making 

them possible, 

We enjoyed a variety of sport this 

year and Form 2 Blue certainly led the 

way. Mark Somers was the school 

Under 14 swimming champion, David 

Mansfield had the best score - 87 - at 

Yarra Bend, fourteen boys took part in 

Under 14 football premiership, nine in 

the cricket and thirteen of our boys 

competed in the rugby win - 65 to 3 - 

against Melbourne Grammar. Our 

tennis team made the finals to be 

defeated by Glen Iris in a very close 

game. Other hays competed in 

basketball, athletics and 

cross-country, In fact, thirty-eight boys 

in our class represented the College in 

inter-school sport. 

Not all is sport! We entered the 

Rostrum Voice of Youth Competition 

for the first time. Our age group was 

not catered for, so we entered the 

Under 16 section. All the boys enjoyed, 

and learned a lot from the experience. 

Brian Moloney was particularly 

successful in being placed second in 

our section. We would like to thank 

Mrs. Casey for the encouragement and 

enthusiasm that she shared with us. 

Finally, we are looking forward to 

graduating from the Junior Parade after 

three or four happy years and we hope 

and pray that our years at Senior 

Parade will be as fruitful.

FORM 1 GREEN 

When the new Form One boys were 

divided into two classes, we realized at 

once that the GREENS had scooped the 

pool. We had the most hrains; the best 

looks and the sporting prowess. Poor 

old BLUES - they even got the Eno's 

Joke Man. Our numbers were 

increased by the arrival to our class of 

three new pu/,ils. Peter Catanese, John 

Lombard an< Brendan Twist. These 

have been assimilated into the class 

and are now real Paradians. They 

found the discipline a little more strict 

than their previous schools but have 

enjoyed being here. 

The highlights of the first term were 

the Camr. at Swan Hill, the Swimming 

Carniva , the Fete and the Athletics. 

For the camp, the two Forms One 

combined under tbe care of Mr. Ilibby 

and Mr. Carter plus some fathers. It 

was a great experience and was 

beneficial from the point of view of 

knowledge and oflearning to live 

together. We think the experience 

helped in our class spirit. The 

Swimming Carnival was held at the 

Northcote Pool uoder the direction of 

Mr. Sholly, and some of our stars were 

Bernard Hartin, Peter Ilrennan and 

john Donohue. The Athletics were 

held at the college and a good crowd of 

parents and friends enjoyed tbe day. 

The Fete was most enjoyableespecially 

the food and the stocks 

(some teachers chickeoed out of this). 

Some boys won quite a few things 

which will prohahly be kept and 

returned for next year's fete, 

During the second term we visited a 

Flour Mill in Sunshioe. We saw where 

the trucks and trains unload, where the 

wheat is crushed, sieved, purified and 

packed. We also were given samples of 

uncrushed wheat. Perhaps some have 

wheat farms now in their backyards. 

We also visited the Planetarium under 

the watchful eye of Brother Adams. 

Ilere we learned more about Rockets 

and Electrons. Most interesting! Our 

Missions have been very good lover 

$800) and this is for 2 terms on y. 

Brother Duckworth encourages us to 

be generous - sometimes by bribes! 

Our "characters" would include the 

President of the Fiddlers - Justin 

Collings; the Committee for N.A.G. 

(Non-attentive Group) Peter Catanese, 

Tony Natoli and Cameron Scott; the 

B.A.S. (Broken Arm Society) which 

boast such distinguished members as 

Peter Ilrennan, Chris Villanti, Brendan

The Flour Mill Excursion 

We left Parade with cries of joy. We 

hopped onto the hus and suffocated 

all the way to the mill. We survived. 

As soon as we arrived we alighted 

quickly from the bus to fresh air. We 

lined up in four groups often, each of 

us standing in amazement at the sight 

of the whale-size silos. Some 

workmen took time off to show us 

around. They showed us the different 

types of machinery used in the 

process of making flour. The thing 

that interested me the most was the 

constantly shaking sifters used in 

sifting the flour from the hroken 

heads of wheat. Inside the silos were 

tunnels galore. Deeper into the silo, 

we were in, was a control room used 

for supervising the machinery. Then 

it was time to go back to the prison 

camp, sorry, I meant school. I wish I 

could go again another day. 

Adrian 

Quinlorelli 

Form 1 Camp 

We left Spencer Street Station with 

great sadness and we all cried ... 

yaaaaaay! 

On the train it was a long. boring 

trip but wehad great fun (behind the 

leachers' backs). The train stopped 

with a jerk so we kicked him off. At 

Swan Hill Stalion there was a big 

fight over which bag was whose but 

we finally let the old ladies go. Then 

we got on the bus and went to the 

camp. During the four days and five 

nights we had great fun. The beds 

weren't all that good but the bed-bugs 

and the spiders didn't mind. The 

meals were good except for the food 

and a couple of times we had 

barbecue lunches. Then on Friday 

morning weall got up at 4 o'clock (we 

weren't awake, we just got up). Then 

we cleaned up, boarded the bus for 

Swan Hill Station and then it was 

back to the big smoke. At Spencer 

Street Station it was hello mums and 

goodbye friends. 

Visit to Planetarium 

We all filed off the bus and into the 

museum. For some of us this visit to 

the museum was a first time, and we 

enjoyed it even more than others who 

had been there before. After we 

entered a new world seemed to open 

up to us. We all climbed the stairs and 

entered the dome-shaped theatre. 

The camera, which is really the 

Planetarium in itself, showed us the 

night sky as few of us had ever seen it 

before. The real highlight of the day 

was a film which had never been 

shown to a group of children before. 

It started at a man's hand and moved 

away from it. We went on a journey 

through spaceat superhuman speeds 

as we left the earth, the then the solar 

system and finally the galaxy. Atthe 

furthest point, the galaxy was merely 

a point in the sky. Then we went back 

to earth, and through the man's skin, 

right to one atom, then inside to the 

nucleus. But all good things come to 

an end, and this did all too quickly. It 

was very enjoyable for everyone.

GRADE 6 GREEN 6 Green went on 

their camp to Wilson's Promontory. 

During the first night in our ten I 

Michael Joeng took up most of the 

sleeping space but was soon 

threatened that ifhe didn't move he'd 

be very sore in the morning. 

During Ihe first term we had a 

lesson called "cooking". We made 

pancakes that were gooey, slippery 

and slimey. This was mainly due to 

the unexepected break in the cooking 

as the electricity went off in the 

Science room and we had to continue 

after lunch in the hall. Mark Scillio's 

was half cooked so you can imagine 

what it tasled like after the second try. 

Sealer's Cove hike was absolutely 

lerrible, my legs were crippled. 

During the Video taping of Old 

Testament Characters we had a good 

laugh at Ihe outfits some people 

wore. Michael Moulin was "Adam" 

and Julian Caddy "Eve". 

On our excursion to Heidelberg 

Police Station, Jason Read !lot locked 

accidentally in Ihe cell anO the 

,?licewoman had to get the key to get 

111m out. 

\'\'hon we went on our camp our 

first hike was to Squeaky Beach 

which was good because we had 

numb bottoms after the four hour trip 

in the bus. 

Wemadea film which was on Old 

Testament Characters and iltook us 

two days to film which gave t\.liss 

Rooney a sore eye. 

One day during recorder lesson 

Damicn Hinschen. who was having 

great difficulty in playing the lune. 

said "I'm not a musical man", ~:fiss 

Rooney said, "You will be if I get to 

you" . 

Stephen Beers on studying a 

Religious Poster on the pin-up board 

- "As the clay is in the potter's bands 

so you are in mine" - was heard to 

say "That's right. she treats us like 

dirt". 

Second lerm went pretty fast with 

cold nights and cold days. I tried my 

best to get sick and have a couple of 

days relaxation - when [did get sick 

it was at the wrong time. 

vVe arc preparing for our item for 

Drama Night and our play is about 

monsters \vhich suits me because my 

dad calls me a monster. I am a person 

who nods his head all through the 

play. If you miss my head there is 

nothing else of me to see. 

Third term started and the price of 

an extension tickel from Alphington 

to Clifton Hill went up 25c. 

ivtiss Rooney is still waiting for one 

red rose! 

IJamien Hinschen and Daniel Bona 

managed to pick up a few things on 

our camp - mainly ticks. 

We were all envious of the 4 

jet-setters in our class. Mark Scillio. 

Robert Torresi and Stephen Darroch 

look off for Europe during the year 

whilst Matthew Weekes explored the 

outback. 

Paul Robins and I were making 

pancakes for cooking when he spilt 

the mixlure all over himself. In the 

finish [had to eat all the burnl ones. 

During lessons when I needed a 

loan of Nicholas Murphy's red biro 

he used to say, "Only if you give me a 

kiss". So then [turned around and 

used Paul Shannon's. 

Six boys took part in the Old 

Paradians Vaudeville Night. Even if 

they can't do the 3 R's they will get 

jobs as song and dance men.

In Grade 6 Blue, we have a Brother 

named Brother Burland. He has a 

beautiful dog named "Boots". 

Alberl Cnmzzo 

Well, this year has been a good 

year. A while ago I handed in a 

project about rifle shooting and I got 

it back yesterday - an "A"- 

Wheeee! 

Bernard Caleo 

We have been to Ancient Times 

House twice. The second time lots of 

boys had to go to the toilet. Mark 

Webster said, "Gee, these toilets are 

primitive". Then someone, I don't 

know who, answered, "Well, it is 

Ancient Times House". 

Simon Mackey 

One day I was walking home with 

Paul. We had our bags on our 

shoulders, socks down and shirts 

hanging out. Suddenly a silver car 

came up and stopped beside us. I got 

a fright as I though it was Br. Adams 

but it was only Brother Burland. 

Philip /nkubie 

On Silver Creek Camp: One night 

we raided the cabin next door. We 

found out it was Brother Burland's 

cabin. We washed the dishes for the

GRADES 

Talk about fun and games! When 

Brother had his hair cut (it doesn't 

often happen), all of the class was 

silent and sitting up straight (that 

happens less often). From beneath 

their desks, the boys each produced a 

pair of scissors and began to snip at 

the air. I was wishing the barber had 

done the same. 

Unquestionably the Shoreham 

Camp was the highlight of the first 

term, and with mums and dads on 

deck to help, we had a competition to 

see which of us would be the last 

person standing. The kids easily 

won, but fortunately the adults 

reserved enough energy to cook 

nourishing, delicious meals for the 

boys. We all left with happy 

memories of dust. sand. cramp and 

poached eggs on toast. 

Much of our class spirit was linked 

to our football exploits, especially as 

we had such a successful season. 

Grade six boys may have formed the 

skeleton of the sides, but we were the 

meat and muscle. The excitement 

that preceded and followed our 

Grand Final victory lasted many 

weeks and we experienced a 

togetherness in something we 

worked hard to achieve. Even though 

onlv one team made the Grand Final, 

the~olher team was present giving 

vocal and streamered support. That 

whole experience was unforgettable 

and rich in togetherness. 

The sad things also drew us 

together as a class. Our morning 

petitions reflected the many people 

we were thinking of during the year 

who needed our support in prayer. 

We found that the cups of joy and 

sorrow are both very deep. and at the 

boltom of them is God. 

Our Drama Night item was 

"Pinocchio" and all of the hard work 

(and some of the not.so.hard.workj 

that went into the preparation was 

repaid when the boys got it all 

together for a good. crisp 

performance. I'm sure many of them 

have never been on stage before and 

benefited from the experience of 

bright lights and big crowds, 

make-up and costumes.

Tennis 

After several years of having 

champion teams. our tennis has 

slumped slightly this year. However, 

with some good players coming on in 

the Primary Classes, we should see a 

revival in the future, The numbers 

receiving Tennis Coaching has 

dropped in the past few years from 

between 90.100 down to between 

40-60. ~lr. John Reddock (with his 

brother Jim when wanted) has been 

doing a fine job here for many years. 

All tennis players are grateful for his 

tuition. 

\Ve have had 4 competition teams 

in the various seasonal competitions 

held by the Junior V.C.L.T.I\. We 

were runners-up in the first term in 

the Under 13 Section. Success came 

finallv in the third term. when we 

won the Under 13A premiership. 

Among our most loyal players are 

David Kegele. Nicholas Scully, Philip 

Scanlon - plus. Many thanks to all 

those parents who gave so generously 

of their time in transporting and 

supervising. My thanks also to the 

boys who acted as Captains for all the 

work they put into organising their 

teams.

Cross 

Country 

During 2nd Term many boys 

trained and competed in Cross 

Country. Every lunch time a loyal 

hand would set out from the school 

gates for a training run of a few 

kilometres. 

This training was most beneficial 

as at the C.S.S.A. meeting we were hy 

far the strongest school in the 

divisions in which we competed. 

finishing either first or second in 

each section. 

Later we combined with Senior 

Parade at the '\.C.c. meeting and our 

teams won both the U/13 and U/14 

sections. 

Our outstanding runners were 

Damien Hehir, Lawrence Barker, 

Martin Heffernan, Matthew Ryan. 

Paul Hayhoe, Mark Mullavey and 

Craig Barnes who apart from winning 

the C.S.S.A. U/12, finished 3rd in the

Swimming 

On our fourth day back at school 

this year, thirty-eight boys began 

training at Collingwood Swimming 

Pool. Our coach, Mark Johnson, 

actively encouraged us to constantly 

go beyond our previous day's 

training, Training began at 7 o'clock 

and it usuallv lasted one hour. 

Our School Swimming Sports 

which were held on Friday, 9th 

March and won by Bodkin House, 

was an opportunity to choose the 

swimming team which would 

subsequently represent the school. 

The team then travelled to SI. Kilda 

e.B,C, to have trials with the SI. 

Kilda team, These trials were an 

excellent opportunity for the team to 

improve upon their previous times as 

well as a rehearsal for the following 

week's A,e.C. trials. 

The A.e.e. trials were held at 

Richmond in the morning. That 

afternoon the team entered a 

competition between Ivanhoe 

Grammar and Marcellan College. The 

team did very well on this occasion as 

well. 

The next .!HNim for some members 

of the team was in the Joe Fogg 

Memorial Shield. Five boys from our 

Under 13 division succeeded in 

\-\'inning the shield. 

The following week we competed 

in the C.S.S.A. and the A.e.C. 

carnivals which were both held on 

the 16th March. Our team did very 

well in winning one shield and 

coming second over all. 

In the A.C.e. carnivallhirleen boys 

from Alphington competed in the 

carnival with Parade coming third. 

This is an improvement on last year's 

results when we came fifth. 

The boys who swam in the A.C.e. 

Carnival were: A. Mackey, P. Dynes, 

I.. Bowman, A. Martin, P. Williams, 

C. O'Halloran [V.e.), D. Mcinerney, J. 

O'Donnell, T. Percy. e. Greco, B. 

Hartin, M. Somers (Cap.], B. Griffiths. 

This year's team was very 

successful. Thechampionships were 

won by: 

Under 14 M. Somers. Under 13 

B. Hortin. 

Under 12 T. Percy. Under 11 e. Greco, 

Our thanks go to Mark Johnson and 

our mothers for our prepared 

breakfasts.

Basketball 

We had three teams taking part on 

Saturday afternoons, in the C.Y.M.S. 

Competitions at Albert Park. 

During the First Term season, the 

Under 13's were runners-up. In the 

Second Term all three teams were 

represented in the grand finals and 

they all played against Cathedral 

College! 

The results were: 

Under 12's Runners-up. 

Under 13's Runners-up. 

Under 14's Premiers. 

They were close and exciting 

games! 

\Vo have been very fortunate 

during the Second and Third seasons 

to have Mr. E. Csar as the coach of the 

HilS team. We are grateful for his 

expert tuition. 

For the past seven years Mrs. 

McBrearty has been a faithful 

follower of the competition. She will 

certainlv be missed now that Barrv is 

mOVing-on to Parade Senior School. 

The key players for the three 

seasons were: 

Under 12 - Robert Csar, Robert 

nalle Molle, Bernard Caleo, Tomas 

Zdanius, S. Tierney. 

Under 13 - David Jones, Grant

'I'm: PRIMARY'S PARTICIPATION 

IN NORTHERN DISTRICT 51'ORTS 

ASSOC. 

Football: In our first year in the 

above competition we were premiers 

by a very large margin. Because the 

matches were played in primary 

sport time we endeavoured to playas 

many different boys as possible and 

so at least thirty-five boys 

represented the school. This great 

depth of talent was the telling factor 

against our State School neighbours. 

With so many boys involved it is 

difficult to mention everybody but 

our most consistently good players 

were: John Mclnerney, Craig Berizzi. 

~"arc Mullavey. Mallhew Flynn, 

Sean Pendlebury, Stephen Beers, 

Anthony Peyton, Mark Gallagher, 

Craig Barnes and Nicholas Murphy. 

UNDER 14 

The season was a very successful 

one, as we 'were fortunate in having 

one of the strongest Under 14 sides 

fur some years, and after finishing on 

top of the competition ladder in the B 

Section, we defealed Bundoora in the 

Grand Final to become Premiers for 

1979. 

We are very grateful to Mr. Bill 

O'Halioran who coached us on 

Saturday mornings, and thank him 

for his time, patience and helpful 

advice. Our thanks, also, to Mr. Jim 

Rodgers, who braved the weather to 

act as Goal Umpire at all our Matches, 

and to the group of parents who 

regularly supplied transport and 

supported us during the season. 

The side was captained by ~"ark

UNDER 13 A 

The Under 13's had a very good 

season in terms of enjoyment. effort, 

satisfaction and learning the value of 

team play. They often played against 

bigger and stronger sides, but it was 

to their credit that they always played 

the ball, accepted the umpire's 

decisions and were not ashamed in 

defeat when they knew they had 

played well. 

All teams have their beller players 

and our group of Peter Barnes. Mark 

Elder and Brendan Griffiths gave the 

team great service throughout tbe 

vear. 

. Michael Bottomley was 

outstanding in defence and another 

defender, Gerard Foote, did very well 

when moved to the forward line. 

Peter Dynes played a great game in 

our close win against Preston and 

Brian Hartin was a solid team 

player in the centre. Clete llIake and 

Damicn Mcinerney were two 

consistent triers and played some 

great games, even though they were 

asked to play in many different 

positions to cover some weaknesses. 

The team improved quite a lot 

during the season and their final 

game against SI. Kilda - eventual 

runners-up to Parade, Bundoora - 

was typical of this. The team was not 

at full strength - Brendan Griffiths 

was out injured and Peter Barnes was 

ill - but almost snatched the game 

from a very worried SI. Kilda. 

It was good to see a loyal band of 

parents come along every week to 

encourage the boys and to help with 

transport and other tasks that 

accompany the running of a sporting 

team. The boys recognise their efforts 

and thank them. 

UNDER 13 II 

The Under 13 I1'sstarted theseason 

well with two good wins early in the 

season. Our coaches were Mr. Twist 

and Mr. Sholly and they urged us on 

to win a total of 3 games. Our most 

outstanding players were Brendan 

Eagles. Keith Fell, John Doherty, 

Michael Scott, Peter Brown, David 

Scott. Brendan Twist. Philip Scanlon 

and Tim Cabassl. 

Two Collingwood players - 

namely Leigh Carlson and Rod 

Oborne came one night and 

instructed us on various league 

techniques. 

Quitea few players advanced to the 

A's during the year including James 

Saretta, Andrew Carrazzo, Peter 

Garland and Peter Jackson. 

Our thanks to all those parents who 

helped over the year. 

UNDER 12 A 

This year the Under 12 A side had a 

number of very talented footballers 

who combined extremely well in 

almost every game including the 

Grand Final which we won 

convincingly. The team was very 

capably led by Bernard Powell whose 

courage and long kicking were great 

assets to us often. We usually had first 

use of the ball from our rucks David 

Nolan, David Jones and Craig Berizzi 

because all three are strong marks 

and won many tap outs and added to 

their effectiveness by changing in key 

positions. The boys who made good 

use of our ruck supremacy were 

rovers Bernard Powell. Pat Roe and 

ruck-rovers Matthew Ryan and Justin 

.Collings. This group offour was a real 

power house because of each boy's 

great kick winning abilityespecially 

the "hard ball" whiCh they 

won and used often. We were well 

served on the backline by such great 

attacking defenders as Gavin Keogh, 

Chris Bibby' Robert Cangia. Darren 

Groves all( Craig Richards. 

Across the centre Stewart Lewis, 

Shane Nealeand Damien Costello all 

showed the necessary desperation to 

keep sending the ball forward as 

often as possible. Up forward we also 

had a number of gifted footballers - 

after a slow start to the season 

Stephen Beers developed into a fine 

full.forward because of his strong 

marking and usually accurate 

kicking for goal. He was often fed by 

Owen Abrahams who, as a good 

flanker should. was able to get by 

himself near the goals quite often. 

Bernie McKelson also contributed 

with some rucking on the forward 

line and several valuable goals. Our 

rucks changed at centre-half-forward 

which meant we had sure marking 

power on most occasions. As well as 

all of the stars mentioned above we 

had a group of utility players who 

fitted in to cover a weakness and so 

are indispensable. Our reliable utility 

players were Philip Jakubic, David 

Callahan, Anthony Curtis, Paul 

Woodward and Robert Torresl. 

Finally, congratulations to all team 

members on winning the 

premiership and a sincere thank you 

to all parents who provided transport 

to and from away matches.

UNDER 12 B 

We had a successful year at the 

sport this year inasmuch of we played 

nine games and were successful in 

winning twa. The team competed 

against "A" teams and it \vas a 

pleasure to watch how various team 

members improved as the season 

progressed. 

Outstanding players for the team 

were J. McInerney, D. Costello. S. 

Bello, M. Ivladden, M. Mandile. A. 

Pilati, C. Dimech. Thanks to the 

Dwyer and Percy families who 

regularly attended to give 

encouragement to the boys. 

UNDER 11 

Success at last has come to our 

youngest team. Last year's visitors 

(SI. Mary's) were vanquished by an 

enormously talented side. Mr. Bill 

Burgess coached them to ten straight 

victories with a percentage that 

hovered around the 2.000 mark. But 

the sweetest moment came when, 

inspired by the Parade Bear [our 

mascot) the Purple team kicked 6-11, 

47 toSt./o,.fary's 0-1, 1. This more than 

avenged last year's loss, and the 

future too looks promising. 

The Fitzroy Football Club invited 

our boys to playas their Little League 

team against Collingwood at V.F.L. 

Park. Waverley. We won by a point 

with a goal kicked by Mark Gallagher 

just on the final bell. So the Purples 

ended the season undefeated, full of 

enthusiasm and happiness that 

makes Alphington so special. 

Our Green team had onlv two 

victories - both over St. Mary's B's. 

However, they too had a happy and 

rewarding season, improving with 

every game. Many of the Green team 

played with the Purples and all of the 

Purples, at some time, played in the 

Green team. So OUf \-vins and losses 

were shared out amongst the players. 

Congratulations to all players (and 

parents) on a fine. rewarding season.

TilE PRIMARY'S PARTICIPATION 

IN NORTHERN DISTRICT SPORTS 

ASSOC. 

Cricket: In this section of the above 

competition we finished third after 

losing only one game. which was a 

semi-final. The matches in this 

competition are much shorter than 

our Saturday morning games and are 

also less restrictive on batsmen and 

bowlers - so our involvement taught 

us some valuable lessons for future 

seasons. In batting our most 

consistent run-~etters were Stephen 

Beers, Mark Gallagher. William 

Dnber and Mark Donohoe. Although 

onlv in Grade 5, Matthew Flynn was 

our'most damaging bowler and at 

times was well supported by Craig 

Thompson. Mark Gallagher, Brett 

Murphy. Craig Berizzi and Bernie 

McKelson providing some variation 

with his spinners. Our fielding was 

usually of a high standard because of 

the efforts of Sean Pendlebury, 

Anthony Peyton and Paul Shannon. 

G. ,YI.Carter 

UNDER 14 

The seasan proved to be a very 

successful one, and we finished the 

roster as premiers with the loss of 

only one game. Our thanks go to ivlr.

for their interest in us during the

The team was capably led by Mark 

Beers, who completed the season 

with 189 runs without being 

dismissed in 6 innings, and he was 

ably assisted by Peter Williams, the 

vice-captain. 

UNDER 13A 

Considering the amount of talent 

available, the U/13 1\'s had a 

disappointing year; inconsistency 

being the major factor preventing the 

side from having a successful season. 

Each week one batsman would 

perform but there would be little if 

any support from the others. If all had 

struck form on the one day, no side 

could have beaten us. However,there 

were some good performances and 

they came mainly from Davin 

McKelson. Peter Barnes, Clete Blake, 

Brendan Griffiths and Peter Brennan. 

Our bowling was our major 

strength. Patrick Fleming and Clete 

Blake were far and away the fastest 

and best opening attack in the 

competition, but too often our 

fielding let us down. In junior cricket 

a good fielding exhibition can make 

the difference between a good and 

bad season. Other bowlers to add 

good support were: Peter Dynes, Paul 

Dinan, Davin McKelson and Michael 

Bottomley. 

Our thanks to Messrs. Dynes and 

Brown for their help and suport as 

scorer and umpire throughout 

season. 

the 

UNDER 13 B 

A most enjoyable season was 

experienced by the U/13 B's this year. 

Although unsuccessful in terms of 

winning they provided many players 

for the A's and never at any stage 

stopped in their efforts for P.P.C. 

Andrew Carrazzo was our best 

batsman for the year and he was well 

supported by Michael Batchelor, 

Daniel Zorzi and Mark O'Connell. 

The best bowlers were Brendan 

Twist, Peter Jackson, Brendan Eagles 

and Gerald Foote who with good 

advice from James Saretta gave the 

batsmen no respite from his position 

behind the stumps. Overall, a most 

enjoyable season. 

Our thanks to Messrs. Foote and 

Batchelor for their help and support 

over the season. 

UNDER 12 A 

The Under 12 A's had a satisfactory 

year during which they suffered hvo 

losses but because of the lack of good 

bowlers were a little short of top 

class. We had to rely on making big 

scores in order to win our games. The 

team boasted several very good 

batsmen and runs consistently came 

from Bernard Powell, Stephen Beers, 

Chris Bibby and Owen Abrahams. All 

of these players show potential and 

should do well in future years. Tony 

Natoli was our most consistent 

howler because of his ability to bowl 

at the stumps on a good length - 

most other boys could not do this 

consistently. On his day each of the 

following could bowl well: David 

Nolan. Craig Berizzi, Damien 

Costello and Bernard Powell. Chris 

Bibby was our wicket-keeper and his 

skill and enthusiasm were 

responsible for many dismissals. Our 

fielding was generally quite good. 

Highlights of the season included: 

S. Beers 42 retired (7 fours, 1 six), 

St. Kilda. 

C. Bibby 30, Sf. Mory's. 

B. POIVe1122 n.o" Preston. 

Bowling: 

B. POlVe114/19, Sf. Kilda. 

C. IJerezzi 3/4, Preston, 

G. M. Carter 

UNDER 12 B 

The weather this year has been 

exceptionally kind to the cricketers of 

the school. This team was used as a 

basis for elevation to the" A" team. 

Two notable members promoted 

through the year were Stephen Beers 

and Damian Costello. The team 

which played through the year had 

stalwarts in Paul Gonzales, Andrew 

Barbazza, Bernard Dwyer, Brett 

Murphy and Craig Dimech, to name 

but a few. 

Successes for the year were 

experienced over Preston (twice), De 

La Salle and Clifton Hill whilst the 

only loss was against Sf. Mary's. 

Individual efforts by many 

batsmen were very commendable 

whilst bowlers, at times, bowled with 

great accuracy and precision. 

Fielding also was a highlight of many 

matches with many difficult catches 

being taken and many runs saved by 

good handling of the ball.

UNDER 11 

We had two teams in cricket: 

Purple and Green, although most 

players were interchangeable 

between teams. For many of the boys 

it was their first taste of competitive 

inter.school sport and they were keen 

to do well. Training sessions were 

very well attended and it was 

difficult to give every boy a game. 

St. Mary's, our arch.rivals, had a 

talented A team and won the 

competition comfortably. We also 

did well for ourselves and showed 

week by week improvement in all 

aspects of the game. 

Some fine feats punctuated our 

season, Mark Mullavey with 6 

wickets for 9 in his first match. 

Matthew Flynn, Paul Shannon and 

Mark Gallagher (among others) 

placed fear into the hearts of 

opposition batsmen. 

Our best batsman was Mark 

Donohoe who hit several 30's during 

the season. Good performances were 

also recorded by Paul Shannon 29, 

James MacIsaac 23, Danny Ilona 20, 

Patrick Moore 28. 

With a season of cricket hehind 

them the boys will do even better next 

year. Already they have learned 

much from the valuable advice of 

their coach, Mr. Bibby.

Athl ~tics 

Season 1979 \vas a most successful 

year for athletics at I'.P.c. At the time 

~f printing. only one major meeting 

remains. but already the results have 

been outstanding and a great 

compliment to the boys' dedication 

and ability. 

The scbool sports were held in 1st 

Term with Lynch emerging narrow 

victors over Bodkin and Treacy. Our 

champion athletes on this day were: 

D. Williams, D. Mcinerney, D. jones 

and j. Tobin. 

Third Term provided the 

opportunity for inter-school 

competition and many boys trained 

for the various events. The A.C.C. 

carnival saw seven of our boys 

joining with senior Parade to contest 

events at Olympic Park. Many others 

competed in lead up meetings at 

Murrumbeena and Box Hill. 

October 19th was our major 

meeting - C.S.S.A. and we were 

most successful. Our under 11 and 

under 12 teams won the juvenile 

Shield for the first time, winning 

thirteen of the sixteen events 

contested. Our other age groups 

performed well also, but we are 

outnumbered by many of the other 

schools and our chances of victory 

are lessened.llowever, our spirit and 

endeavour was the equal of all, and 

up to the traditionally high Parade 

standards. 

We had many winners on this day, 

the highlights being the 

performances of the under 12,4 x 100 

team of A. Peyton, S. Floyd, M. 

Mullavey and D. Groves. Mallhew 

Prall's record in the Under 11 Shot 

Put and the wins of Craig IJarnes in 

both the Under 12 800 [2.31) and 

1500 (5.11) metres races. 

Boys from Grades 5 and 6 also 

competed in the regional school 

sports and performed so well that 

oearly twenty boys will represent the 

district in the zone finals later in the 

month. 

All in all an excellent year and our 

thanks go to the coaches and parents, 

especially Mr. Foote, for their time 

and efforts, but particularly to the 

boys - well done!
