<strong>Report</strong><br />

Newsletter NO.1<br />

Dear Parents.<br />

A new school year is upon us; no doubt it will have its<br />

ups and downs. Be that as it may. I would like to welcome<br />

you all. both parents and boys. new and old. to<br />

the 1978 school year.<br />

At the Mass celebrated by our Archbishop to ask<br />

God's blessing on our Archdiocese's educational efforts<br />

for 1978. I noticed that a paragraph placed In the Mass<br />

booklet as a rellection piece. was a quotation from the<br />

booklet on Catholic Schools. This was produced by the<br />

Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education late last<br />

year under the title "The Catholic SChool". It offers all,<br />

both staff and parents, who are making so many sacrifices<br />

to support our system, much encouragement and<br />

consolation. It is well worth purchasing.<br />

I would like to quote one extract from that document<br />

(p. 22) for your consideration:<br />

" ... because of difficulties In the provision of adequate<br />

staff and finance. In such a situation should the Church<br />

perhaps give up her apostolic mission in Catholic<br />

schools. as some people would like her to do. and direct<br />

her energy to a more direct work of evangelisation in<br />

sectors considered to be of higher priority or more suited<br />

to her spiritual mission, or should she make State schools<br />

the sole object of her pastoral activity? Such a solution<br />

would not only be contrary to the directives of the Vatican<br />

Council. but would also be opposed to the Church's<br />

mission and to what is expected of her by christian<br />

people."<br />

New Staff: I am sure you will join with me in welcoming<br />

the following staff members to the College - Br.<br />

O'Neili from St. Kevin's. Br. Challis from Abbotsford, Br.<br />

Fitzgerald from Treacy College and Br. Smith from Box<br />

Hill. and also the following lay teachers who have joined<br />

our staff this year - Mrs. Cantwell. our new Librarian. Mr.<br />

Colvin, who has returned to us otter a year's study. Mr.<br />

Douglas and Mr. Purchas, who are teaching in the Forms<br />

1and 2 area, Mr. Hollyoak. who isteaching in the Forms 3<br />

and 4 area, Mrs. Hayes and Mr. Dowling, who are teach-<br />

2<br />

ing in the Form 5 area. We also say goodbye to the<br />

following staff members - Br.Chapman. who has been<br />

appointed Headmaster at St. Kilda, Br. Coghlan, who<br />

has also been appointed to St. Kilda, Br. Aron, who will<br />

be doing full-time studies, Br.Jones, who has returned to<br />

his own province of Western Australia; also the following<br />

lay teachers - Miss Tout. Mr. Nieuwenhof and Mr.<br />

McDonald.<br />

Examination Results: The H.S.C. examinations for<br />

1977 were very successful. with 85 out of 108 boys obtaining<br />

their certificate. This Ispretty much the same result as<br />

last year in numerical terms, but of those who did pass<br />

the marks of individual students were much higher, and<br />

this of course means that many more boys this year will<br />

be able to obtain their first choice at University or Senior<br />

Technical Schools. We congratulate all those boys who<br />

have done well, and particularly:<br />

John Love<br />

Peter Bemman<br />

Dux of Science<br />

John Shanahan - Dux of Commerce<br />

Paul Dawson - Dux of Humanities<br />

. It is also important to mention the fact that boys who<br />

did not do well would have also benefited from the year,<br />

and the time spent in 1977 will be a valuable experience<br />

for them. Many of these will eventually end up In the next<br />

year or so with their H.S.C.<br />

Work Experience: Many schools have been taking<br />

part in Work Experience programmes during the last<br />

couple of years and we here at Parade are introducing<br />

our own scheme this year. We hope to start officially in<br />

April.<br />

Newsletter NO.2<br />

For the last five or six weeks we have noticed at our<br />

Sunday Masses the large candle on the sanctuary.<br />

which has been alight during the Holy Sacrifice. This<br />

candle is always placed in such a position from Easter<br />

Sunday until Ascension Thursday. It represents the risen<br />

Christ still on earth. Atter Ascension Day it Isremoved and<br />

we are back in our normal dally routine, going through<br />

the rather long period of time until once again the Easter<br />

ceremonies will be with us.<br />

Like the Church. of which it is part, the school is gradually<br />

moving through its normal yearly process. For example,<br />

you will be receiving the Term I reports very soon,<br />

and most of these will be based on teacher assessment<br />

and tests that Individual teachers have conducted<br />

within their own periods. This assessment will be a<br />

reasonable guide as to how your son is progressing at<br />

the moment.<br />

Future of the Higher School Certificate (Year 12)<br />

Examination: The V.U.S.E.B.(Victorian Universities and<br />

Schools Examination Board) will cease to exist on March<br />

31sl, 1979. The V.U.S.E.B.has conducted the H.S.C. examination,<br />

as we know it, and will conduct that exam for the<br />

last time this year.<br />

A new body, V.l.S.E. [Victorian Institute of Secondary<br />

Education) will replace V.U.S.E.B.as from next year and<br />

will take responsibility for year 12 assessment.<br />

On April 5th, V.l.S.E. released a policy statement on the<br />

future curriculum and assessment for year 12 students,<br />

and the following points from that statement should be<br />

noted:<br />

(a) Timetable - There will be no major changes to<br />

existing assessment procedures (as operating under<br />

V.U.S.E.B.)in 1979 or 1980. The planned new strucfure for<br />

curriculum and assessment will take effect for year 12 in<br />

1981 - when the present year 9 students reach year 12.<br />

(Thus our present year 10 and 11students will face H.S.C.


assessment in the form we have traditionally known,)<br />

(bJ Basic Scheme - The new scheme (as from 1981)<br />

will allow for two groups of subjects: (a) group 1subjects<br />

which initially will be the existing subjects offered in the<br />

H,S,C.,(b) group 2 subjects which will be totally devised<br />

and assessed within the school.<br />

Students will continue to study five subjects (in broad<br />

terms) which can consist of any combination of group 1<br />

and group 2 subjects, e,g" Four group 1 subjects and<br />

one group 2; or no group 1 and five group 2.<br />

(c) Units - To allow for further ftexibility, courses of<br />

study will be sub-divided into UNITS.An element of study<br />

of one term's duration istermed a unit. Thusmost year 12<br />

students will undertake a course of 15 units (which is<br />

equivalent to 5 subjects).<br />

It is emphasised that the pattern to be adopted by<br />

VISEfrom 1981has been sketched inbroad outline, Much<br />

detailed work and careful negotiation has yet to be<br />

undertaken. An example of an unresolved issue is the<br />

time at which examinations in Group 1 subjects should<br />

be held. The possibility of holding these examinations in<br />

the last weeks of the second school term deserves investigation.<br />

Another matter requiring resolution Is whether<br />

English,as a subject or as a core, should be compulsory<br />

for all year 12 students.<br />

Parade Welcomes New Associated Catholic<br />

College: Parade College Is a member of the Associated<br />

Catholic Colleges, a group of nine Catholic<br />

schools. We have much pleasure In welcoming a tenth<br />

school, St.Paul's Altona, into our group as from Athletic<br />

Season In 1978,<br />

Associated Catholic Colleges - Sportln", Activities:<br />

TheAssociation runstwo types of competitions:<br />

"Official" - This means that a member school must<br />

compete as on the date of the fixture. A school cannot<br />

decide to withdraw from an official sport.<br />

The Official sports are football, soccer, cricket. athletics,<br />

cross-country and swimming.<br />

"Unofficial" - At the start of the season a member<br />

school can nominate if it wishes to compete in the particular<br />

year.<br />

The Unofficial sports are other than those mentioned<br />

as official.<br />

School Policy with Regards to Sport: The school's<br />

policy with regards to the participation of your son isthat<br />

if he isneeded for an official sport, he mustmake himself<br />

available both to practise and to play.<br />

During Term 2 we are committed to Wednesday fixturesfor<br />

some football teams. Thismeans that some Form<br />

3 and 4 footballers and a few soccer players have to be<br />

out of school on a Wednesday afternoon. The internal<br />

school arrangement that has caused thiswas not made<br />

lightly. These boys are usually required to study on the<br />

Form3 and 4 sportsday. On one or two occasions Ihave<br />

prevented a boy from playing on the Wednesday. The<br />

decision. if it needs to be made, of playing or not playing<br />

in these special cases is finally the <strong>Headmaster's</strong>.<br />

School Camps: Three weeks ago the Forms3 and 4<br />

camps were held at Santa Monica. which isa very lovely<br />

spot - about eight miles from lorne. At these camps the<br />

staff were fortunate to have a number of fathers -<br />

Messrs.Bernie Branagan, Ernie Ellul.Kevin Busch.Trevor<br />

Smith. Bernie Spence. Greg Dunlop and Kevin Gronow.<br />

to whom we are extremely grateful for all their help inthe<br />

cooking area. in particular. and for supervision in general.<br />

It appears that the camps were successful in accomplishing<br />

what they set out to do, and we hope that<br />

the final camp for these classes. to be held in Term3. will<br />

be blessed with the same good weather they had in<br />

3<br />

Term1.Forms1and 2 will be having camps inTerm2. and<br />

these will take the form of a parallel school situation and<br />

will be held at E.R.C.More will be communicated to the<br />

parents concerned early next term.<br />

At the present time the Form 6 boys are away on<br />

Retreats. one group is at lake Eppaloch. another at<br />

Phillip Island and a third at Dayiesford. We hope that the<br />

boys are able to avail of the spiritual helps given during<br />

these three very important days, The same hopes are<br />

extended to the Form 5's who are on similar Retreats.<br />

which are taking place at the school itself. at Edmund<br />

Rice College and at lower Plenty.<br />

Congratulations are Due to the tollowlng: Our<br />

U/18 Basketball team (Captain Brendan Prendergast).<br />

our U/16 team (Captain Jamie Kennedy), Both won<br />

premierships last Saturday. and well done to the U/14<br />

team (Captain Paul Conway) who were runners up.<br />

Praiseis also due to our U/13 Tennisteam (Captain Paul<br />

Liccione) who were our only tennis group to play infinals.<br />

Individual congratuiations go to Chris and Andrew<br />

Fenech, who won selection in the Victorian Water Polo<br />

U/18 side. and Chris has had the distinction of being<br />

selected in the Australian side to play Japan later this<br />

year.<br />

In the past. Victorian Under 16 Australian Rules Football<br />

sides have been selected from State Schools. This<br />

has changed this year. Although the final team will not<br />

be seiected until the end of the holidays. Parade sent<br />

five boys fortrials and the five - Anthony Canavan. Terry<br />

Twomey. Steven Hall. Noel Gilmore and Vin Hanlon -<br />

have all reached the final thirty. and we hope they<br />

survive the next and final cut-off. .<br />

Many thanks to Forms I and II, who took part In the<br />

Bundoora Community Aid Abroad Walk against Want<br />

and raised $518for that worthy cause.<br />

Newsletter NO.3<br />

late in June all Brothers'Schools celebrate a special<br />

feast. the Feastof Our lady of Perpetuai Help, ThisIiIle of<br />

Our lady has always had special veneration in Brothers'<br />

Schools. because early in the Brothers'historywhen our<br />

Founder. Brother Rice. was still alive. it did appear that<br />

perhaps the work he had so far done would fall away.<br />

Brother Rice's brother had been to Rome and had seen<br />

the original picture of Our lady of Perpetual Help and<br />

had suggested that BrotherRice pray to Our lady under<br />

thistitle. He did this. making a promise at the same time<br />

that. if the probiems were overcome, in all our schools<br />

the Brotherswould give this picture an honoured place.<br />

The troubles were overcome and Brother Rice kept his<br />

promise. in a few days. when I move to Rome to undertake<br />

the course that I have to do. I intend to visit this<br />

church in order to say some prayers before this picture.<br />

This is something that i have wanted to do. but never<br />

thought that I would be in a position to accomplish.<br />

All parents are to be commended for their efforts<br />

during the month of June. looking at the Calendar it was<br />

amazing to me how full it was. with functions on continuously.<br />

I suppose I should not have been amazed. because<br />

Iwas part of the Committee that sat and planned<br />

the events in order to space them as much as possible.<br />

However. on behalf of the Brothersand staff. I thank all<br />

those parents who did magnificently. because we all<br />

realize that a great many of you have other schools to<br />

cover besides Parade College.<br />

Many thanks to the Fathers' Committee under the<br />

leadership of Mr. John Giddens. but with special mention<br />

to Mr. Barney luby for his tremendous efforts in or-


ganizlng this function and the Dance that went with it.<br />

790 tickets were sold and the Fathershave been able to<br />

give a cheque for well over S2,000each to both Parade,<br />

Bundoora, and Parade, Alphington.<br />

Working Bee: Last year our Working Bee in the middle<br />

of the year was dogged by bad weather and not<br />

much could be done outside. Thisyear the weather was<br />

not much better, but the amount of work done was<br />

amazing. On the Monday after the Working Bee, I<br />

noticed many staff and boys looking at the changes that<br />

had been brought about by the hard-working Fathers<br />

and the many boys who helped them. The main area of<br />

work was in laying down and upgrading paths, and thi~<br />

required a large number of men. A complete horses<br />

yard was built in the afternoon, as well as an entlfe<br />

playground laid out and gravelled at Edmund Rice<br />

College, for our junior boys. Many thanks to. all those<br />

fathers who came. Special thanks to the organisers, particularly<br />

Mr. Max Synan.<br />

Affairs In the College: .,.<br />

1. Our Work Experience Programme ISnow In function<br />

and boys are taking part in thisunder the main direction<br />

of Mr.TerryHollyoak, who has put a tremendous amount<br />

of work, other than his normal school work, into ensuring<br />

itssuccess. On your behalf, and on behalf of the boys, I<br />

would like to publicly thank him for this,<br />

2. TheForm1and 2'shave moved up to Edmund Rice.<br />

They had a very muddy baptism in that area, but things<br />

are much better now and at the moment these boys are<br />

completing their school camps under a parallel school<br />

situation. This means that they go to school as normal<br />

from 9,00 to 3.30 dressed in their normal school uniform,<br />

and then have recreation, night study and prayers during<br />

the rest of the evening. I was in charge of the two<br />

Form2 camps and Iwas very impressed by the standard<br />

of co-operation of the boys, Itmust be terribly embarrassing<br />

to you at home to be continually able to sit down<br />

and not to worry about doing the washing-up or dryingup,<br />

or to have your son insist that he would ciean his<br />

room. However, the boys were doing these things without<br />

much prompting from me, and it made both camps very<br />

pieasant. Congratulations to all parents of Form2, and I<br />

am sure that Brother Wynne and Mr. Douglas will have<br />

the same experience as myself with the Form 1 boys,<br />

Congratulations to Peter Conroy (H.S.C.).who partici:<br />

pated in the Interlocutor Debating SOCiety,Schools<br />

Single Competition. Peter reached the grand final Inthe<br />

Open Division.<br />

Congratulations to Chris Fenech who is leaving for<br />

overseas soon with the Australian Junior Water Polo<br />

Team for a series of International matches.<br />

Inter-School Sport - With five competition games<br />

completed, and four remaining, both Parade football<br />

teams are undefeated. In the senior area the premiership<br />

appears to be a two-way contest between Parade<br />

and St.Bede's Mentone. Theseschools meet at Parade<br />

2.00 p.m. July 26th. Pundits agree that the result of this<br />

game will decide the flag. In the junior area things are<br />

pretty much the same. Itwill be Parade or Mentone. Iam<br />

sure you join with me in wishing all our teams every<br />

success for the rest of the season.<br />

Absence of the Headmaster Overseas.<br />

During the absence of the Headmaster overseas. all<br />

enquiries should be directed to the Deputy Headmaster.<br />

Br. Swaney. who will be administering Parade for this<br />

period. I am sure that BrotherSwaney will find the tasks,<br />

as I have. made easy by the co-operation of all con-<br />

4<br />

nected with the College.<br />

The Headmaster will be returning to Melbourne on<br />

January 16th.1979. . .<br />

Finally I would take this final opportunity of wlshrng<br />

one and' all every health and blessing for the remaining<br />

months of 1978.<br />

Yourssincerely in Christ.<br />

My greatest regret after having served my time at<br />

Parade Isthat when Ifinally realized that Ienjoyed being<br />

there I no longer had the time to do so. Inearlier years at<br />

Parade the term "School Spirit" was thrown around so<br />

much by members of staff and by successive College<br />

Captains that Igrew weary of hearing It.I know now that<br />

one can only appreciate "School Spirit" when one<br />

reaches H.S.C.A strong bond has developed among<br />

members of this H.S.C.class, a bond that hopefully will<br />

continue throughout our lives,<br />

Sporting-wise, 1978was a successful year for Parade.<br />

TheCricket 1stXIcruised undefeated through the season<br />

for an easy victory in the ACC competition. the Athletics<br />

saw Parade lead for half the day only to falter in the<br />

sprintsand the Football 1stXVIIIremained unbeaten until<br />

the final two games. Hockey took off at Parade thisyear,<br />

in porticular the Senior XI enjoyed a memorable social<br />

and competitive season. On behalf of the students involved<br />

I would like to thank the coaches of the senior<br />

sporting feams - Br. O'Neill, Mr, Joss, Mr. Hughes, Mr.<br />

Pyrgos, Br, Fitzgerald and others. I would like to pay<br />

special tribute to Mr.Bruce Walsh for hisuntiring contribution<br />

to the organization of seniorsport at Parade over the<br />

last two years.<br />

I would like to express my gratitude to the teachers<br />

who persevered with usduring our development. Iwould<br />

also like fa thank the ladies In fhe Office, the Ladies'<br />

Auxiliary for their support during the year, and the<br />

mothers who provided their invaluable services in the<br />

running of the canteen.<br />

Theonly thing left to be said issimply. that Iwas proud<br />

to have been a member of the H.S.C.class of 1978 at<br />

Parade.<br />

V ALE - REVENI<br />

To a school. each year brings something ofa triumph,<br />

and something sad. ForParade, the year brings the sad<br />

news of Brother Moloney's transfer, He is going - to be<br />

Senior Moths. teacher at SI.Kevin's.<br />

We feel that it isn'tcredibie, though we know it istrue.<br />

May the boys and staff of 78 express something of their<br />

sense of loss?<br />

When Parade moved from its ancesfral home, the<br />

"break" was felt by all Paradians. Thistransfer is much<br />

like fhaf: for nearly 30 years WP.M. has been Parade's<br />

feacher of SeniorChrisfian Doctrine, SeniorMathematics<br />

and SportsMaster, indeed, somefhing of fhe cragginess,<br />

10<br />

fhe solidity, and fhe unbowed character of the Blue<br />

StonePiledistinguisheshim yet. Surely,30 years - almost<br />

a third of the School's history - musf give him an embedded<br />

place therein. How can we measure his contribufions<br />

of blood and spirif fa this piace - "not made<br />

wifh hands'"<br />

In searching for a tribufe to match the man, the service,<br />

the loss,we can only offer the simple eloquence<br />

that nations usewhen they assemble ten thousand crossesIn<br />

rows, simple and white. They make a geometry of<br />

Art<br />

Over the past one and a half years, Parade College<br />

has been establishing Its Art/Craft Department with a<br />

view to broadening the spectrum of education available<br />

to its students,<br />

As the current Art staff at the College, we have carefully<br />

noted the amount of enthusiasm shown by the Junior<br />

students presently undertaking the course and are<br />

pleased by the many encouraging results.Stillbeing In<br />

its formative years the extent of the subject is understandably<br />

hampered by limited equipment and space,<br />

However, the recently completed art room has set the<br />

basis for Ideal accommodation for such a subject, Inthe<br />

future, our efforts will be concentrated in the area of<br />

gradually attaining the equipment necessary to provide<br />

students with a greater range of activities, Some of the<br />

areas that may be developed are basic photography,<br />

advanced printmaking, textile crafts and sculpture.<br />

The nature of the art / craft course isequivalent to that<br />

of any other subject available at the school. By this we<br />

mean that basic Instructionat Junior levels Inthe areas of<br />

drawing, painting, simple printmaking and elementary<br />

three dimensional forms Isabsolutely essential. The abil-<br />

Ity of any student to confidently and honestly express his<br />

ideas by use of art forms dependS almost solely on his<br />

practice and complete understanding of the basic<br />

techniques involved.<br />

The aim of the course Isto stimulate the creative Imagination<br />

of the pupil and to develop his sense of<br />

awareness In every day life through visual aesthetics. At<br />

the same time we are seeking to provide an avenue for<br />

personal expression, and for him to experience a sense<br />

of discovery when confronted with varied materials. The<br />

course is organised so that the students are able to<br />

develop an Interestinthose aspects which will assisttheir<br />

formal and informal studies in future years.<br />

Next year the Art/Craft course will be extended to<br />

Form4 level. Presently,It isa compulsory subject for Form<br />

1to 3 inclusive, but will be offered as an elective In Form<br />

4. Dependent upon the interest and enthusiasm of these<br />

students, It can be assumed that Art and Craft will<br />

gradually become a final year subject. Judging by present<br />

standards, the development of study in this area<br />

should provide something to which we can look forward.<br />

Woodwork<br />

Thisyear saw the craft of Woodwork introduced as a<br />

subject for Forms3 and 4. It has been a successand has<br />

proved to be extremely popular with all the classes<br />

concemed.<br />

The boys had to work under anything but ideal condItions<br />

for the firstterm while the old bike sheds and storeroom<br />

were being transformed into a work-room. The<br />

completion of the project has provided us with a well<br />

equipped environment In which the boys can go about<br />

acquiring a new set of skills.<br />

The rationale behind the establishment of a woodwork<br />

class was to give the students the opportunity of<br />

producing something practical with the co-ordination of<br />

mind and hands. In a school of high academic ambitions,<br />

thissubject was seen as an opportunity to give the<br />

boys a useful craft, as well as a respite from the high<br />

concentration of study.<br />

The aims of Woodwork are to show the student the<br />

many benefits that working with wood can offer, in porticular,<br />

the ability to use correctly and safely the various<br />

tools and equipment associated with this craft. The student<br />

will see the inter-relationships with the other subjects<br />

we will be introducing and by working on projects of<br />

increasing difficulty, he will be able to porticlpate in<br />

practical work outside of school, such as in the home.<br />

The future is not limited just to Woodwork. In due<br />

course, we hope to Introduce basic metal-work, electrical<br />

and other practical areas.<br />

An introduction to Welding has commenced for Form<br />

4 Students with a brief outline to the metal-work area.<br />

As well as working on their nomnal class u;slgnments,<br />

the students have responded enthusiastically to the various<br />

projects given them around the school: finishing off<br />

the work-room, a table for the Brothers' dining room,<br />

construction of a saddle shed, mending seats in the<br />

sports areas, and our latest effort a yacht. which we<br />

hope will be the vanguard of a sailing fleet for sports<br />

days.<br />

If the enthusiasm of the students to Woodwork and<br />

practical subjects isany Indication of itspopularity and<br />

necessity in today's world, then the decision to establish<br />

it at Parade has been more than justified.<br />

Parade began the season well with an outright win<br />

over North Melboume and continued the season by<br />

winning two of the four remaining games. Unfortunately<br />

the chances of Parade winning a premiership were<br />

ruined when the game against Chadstone was washed<br />

out and the game against Essendonwas lost in a close<br />

struggle.<br />

The most consistent pertormances in the batting were<br />

displayed by Tony Corcoran and Vin Hanlon whiist<br />

Thanksmust go to TonyCanayan. who captained the<br />

Renata Bartolomei for his scoring.<br />

Eventhough the team did not win a premiership there<br />

isplenty of talent in the team - no doubt many of these<br />

players will go on to the FirstXI in the 1978-79season.

The Junior SChool's enthusiasm for all sports showed up<br />

early In the year when Parade were able to field 3<br />

separate Under 13 cricket teams. Unfortunately enthusiasm<br />

alone does not always decide the winning<br />

teams. Although there were a number of notable batting<br />

successes, in all three teams it was the bowling department<br />

which proved our downfall. Special mention must<br />

go to the following:<br />

ADAM POWICK - 33 runs against Aiphington. Adam<br />

finished the competition with an average of 96 runs after<br />

losing his wicket only once in the season.<br />

Football<br />

First XVIII<br />

It was not anticipated by some that the Parade First<br />

XVIII would be a great force in the A.C.G. competition.<br />

Yet after Round 7. having won every game. we were<br />

ready to virtually play 51.Bede's for the Premiership.<br />

A good number tumed up for the early training runs.<br />

and some promising footballers began to stand oul. Our<br />

firstpractice match very eerly Inthe seeson. was played<br />

against Marceliin. who defeated us soundiy. We then<br />

played Rostrevor College. Adelaide. and that is when<br />

we knew we had the makings of a good team. Down at<br />

3/4 time. Parade bounced back to snatch victory by 1<br />

goal In a very high standard match.<br />

A game against ReservoirHigh ended in an eQsywin<br />

to Parade. Xavier. however. proved to be a very different<br />

story.Playing durtng the holidays. with a weekened<br />

team. Parade matched the strong opposition for most of<br />

the game. but Xavier was too strong inthe finish.We won<br />

well against 51.Leo's. Box Hili. but did not have it all our<br />

own way. The last practice match was against 51.Paul's<br />

Altona. and that ended in a convincing win. Our preseason<br />

build-up proved quite adequate and encouraging<br />

for our first competition match against North.<br />

Round 1. In very weI condilions Parade apd North<br />

slogged away in a low-scoring game. Parade was<br />

down by 14 poinls wilh nve minutes to go. when we<br />

suddenly snapped two quick goals. Theball was rushed<br />

forward and Mick Flynnsnapped an impossible goal to<br />

give us victory on the bell.<br />

Parade 6-9 = 45 d North 6-5 = 41'.<br />

Goals: F. Gleeson 2. S.McCarthy I. S.Smith. I. T. McGcugh 1. M. Flynn 1.<br />

Best: S. McCarthy. D. McCann. P. Ryan. P. Wood. M. Lawson. S. smith.<br />

Round 2. Braybrook did not put up much opposition.<br />

and Parade kicked 12goals to nil In the firstquarter. The<br />

game levelled off a little. but Parade displayed some<br />

good teamwork later on.<br />

Round 3. We were expecting a harder game this<br />

time. and EastBrunswickmatched usby keenly competing<br />

at every chance in the firstquarter. Parade's strength<br />

began to tell. and resistance crumbled in the remaining<br />

three quarters.<br />

Round 4. Parade met a very small, but extremely determined<br />

side at Essendon. The ground was very ~et.<br />

and goals hard to score, Parade jumped the oPPOSition<br />

in the 1st quarter, and this was to be the decisive influence,<br />

The rest of the game was a grim battle with Essendon<br />

doing a lot of attacking.<br />

Best: S. McCarthy. P. Ryan. P. Hammond. D. McCann. M. Bockway.<br />

Round 5. On a drier ground, Parade used to advantage<br />

its skill in teamwork and play-on football. The result<br />

was a consistent game in which Parade did not lose<br />

concentration at any stage, and kicked at least five<br />

goals each quarter,<br />

Parade 21.18= 144 d. Chodstone 2.3= 15.<br />

Round 6. De La Salle always provides stiff opposition,<br />

and this game was no exception, Parade's bad<br />

kicking early in the game did not allow us to break away<br />

early, but a strong second quarter showed our dominance.<br />

Round 7. After six successive wins, the competition<br />

saw Parade and St. Bede's the only unbeaten teams.<br />

Players were very keyed up for this one, as we were<br />

about to play oft for the premiership - a remarkable<br />

achievement for this fine Parade side who were not<br />

considered to be a force in 1978, It was a tight game,<br />

played at great pace and pressure. St. Bede's were 6<br />

pelnts in front at half time, and neither side was giving an<br />

inch. The third quarter was the key, because 51.Bede's<br />

got the break. Parade levelled the scores early in the<br />

quarter, but then St. Bede's kicked 3 quick goals, and<br />

then bottled us up in the last quarter. Congratulations to<br />

the Premiers, St, Bede's.<br />

Round 8: The Parade team suffered a let-down after<br />

the big clash, and could not raise the necessary enthusiasm<br />

to defeat St. Kilda. We could not take advantage<br />

of the strong breeze, and despite a third quarter<br />

revival which regained us the lead, we were overrun by<br />

a young, fast and most impressive St, Kilda side, This loss<br />

meant that we were to only share second place for 1978,<br />

St. Kilda 15.19= 108 d. Parade ll.11= 77.<br />

Best: S. McCarthy, P. Ryan, C. Ray, P. Wood, J. Breeding.<br />

The retum of Shane McCarthy [1978 Captain] made a<br />

significant difference to the side, He proved an excellent<br />

leader and inspired the team with his rugged ploy.<br />

Vice-captain Dale McCann was an outstanding<br />

centre-half back, and did not produce a bad game,<br />

Deputy Vice-captain, Peter Bentley came back after<br />

injury to be a tenacious player on the wing.<br />

Peter Wood gave away inches at centre half forward<br />

but tumed in some fine performances. Paul Ryan was a<br />

dashing half-back flanker and teamed very well with<br />

Dale McCann, Mark Backway was a good solid defender<br />

all year, Chris Ray often steadied the side from full<br />

back; Chris Gilmore was a consistently good winger;<br />

Brendan L'Huillier was capable of inspired football at<br />

times; Michael Munday was very handy around the<br />

goals; Mick Flynn was a useful tap-ruckman who always<br />

got his kick in; Ron Deylon improved greatly through the<br />

season to become a reliable back man,<br />

The Form Five contingent was very strong, and will<br />

form a strong nucleus for 1979, MfJrk Lawson was a clever<br />

centreman who used his strength; Terry McGough<br />

proved to be an intelligent ruck-rover and won many<br />

kicks; Phil Hammond saved time after time from the<br />

back pecket; Frank Gleeson roved well all year; Jeft<br />

Breeding played very well when on the ball; Steven<br />

Smith was a great half forward; Jim Madden was a<br />

handy rover; Anthony Barry showed talent at times.<br />

Other players who contributed to the team's success<br />

were Simon Purcell, Ian Wheeler, Alex Morelli and<br />

Michael O'Hara. Thanks to our officials for their hard<br />

work; Tony Todaro (Manager) Michael Love (Runner),<br />

Kevin Jemmeson (Boundary) and Greg Nance (Goal<br />

umpire).<br />

Thanks perticularly to the ladies who provided refreshments<br />

after the home games.<br />

XVIII<br />

1978 was basically a successful year for the Junior<br />

XVIII. The side. led by Teny Twomey. was undefeated<br />

until the second last round, when they went down in a<br />

hard fought game to the eventual premiers, Sf. Bedes,<br />

inthe practice matches Parade did not showtheir true<br />

form but performed better to succeed in the Ae.e.<br />

matches,<br />

Throughout the year there was not one player who<br />

didn't contribute something. Up forward, Murray Dinan<br />

was the focal point of the attack and what he missed<br />

was ably snapped up by TonyCorcoran who was lead-<br />

Ing goal kicker for the year. The strong marking of Beers<br />

and Flynn also proved a headache for opposing<br />

backmen.<br />

At the centre bounces the combination of Wenkowskl,<br />

Twomey, Wood and Canavan got the ball down to the<br />

scouting rovers In Salmon, Wilson and Gilmore.<br />

These players were backed up by a strong defence<br />

led by centre half-back Steven Hall.Theease with which<br />

Vln Hanlon went about hisjob in the back pocket bamboozled<br />

many opposing rovers.Thereliability of Stuckey<br />

and Lotan was reassuring to their team-mates as well.<br />

Overall, Parade was runner-up to St.Bedes, who were<br />

probably the better team. Therewere many players who<br />

have not been mentioned who contributed greatly<br />

throughout the year and a lot of credit must go to Mr.<br />

Ramsdale for this, who did a great job as coach during<br />

2nd XVIII<br />

The team is quite satisfied at finishing third on the<br />

ladder this year considering the players varied from<br />

week to week. This was due to many players proving<br />

themselves and being given the opportunity to play with<br />

the Senior side. Obtaining third place with these constant<br />

changes of players showed that the team had the<br />

abiilty to adapt and stiilpresent a fine exhibition of team<br />

work on most occasions.<br />

Many times it was due to formidable backline of M.<br />

O'Hara, A. Boffa, P.Taylor and D.Woodruff that we were<br />

able to tum from defence to attack. Strong marking and<br />

dashing play by these players, ably supported by N.<br />

O'Sullivan, M. Fleming and B. Mullane, enabled us to<br />

drive the ball deep Into the forward line through the<br />

agency of our most capable centreline of L. Smyth, M.<br />

Pegararo, L. Dynes and D. Spillane.<br />

Our teamwork was rewarded with the accurate kicking<br />

of R.Schuyler, J. Viero, F.Palamara, S.Gleeson and<br />

M. Foster. Everyone's task was made easier with the<br />

height of our rucks M. Lane, S. Watson and D. Bibby<br />

combined with the speed and agiiity of our numerous<br />

rovers, C. Jackson, S. Barry and R.Kontos.<br />

We were constantiy pulled out of the depths of<br />

despair by the humorous optimism of our coach Mr.<br />

Cosgriff; unfortunately In a couple of games our comeback<br />

started too late. B.Barnes,J. Moroney and M. Pelly<br />

should also be mentioned as giving consistent performances.<br />

M. Lane (Form 6)<br />

Under13A<br />

In terms of results, one might be Inclined to be discouraged<br />

at the season put in by the Under Thirteen<br />

footballers. However, the efforts of the boys were most<br />

satisfactory. Physical size is a dominant factor In Junior<br />

football and the boys Invariably found themselves outsized.<br />

In spite of this, the quality of football produced<br />

was, on occasions, outstanding. Under adverse conditions.<br />

the boys always obeyed Instructionsand always<br />

gave of their best. A coach cannot ask more of his<br />

players than this.<br />

M. Douglas (Coach)<br />

Under13B<br />

The Agony and the Ecstasy-<br />

The Under Thirteen B Football Team moved off to a<br />

slow start this season with four consecutive losses.It was<br />

small relief to recognise that we were up against the<br />

toughest opposition early In the season. However, the<br />

drought was broken with an Infusion of new blood into<br />

the team through the season and a 5 goals 8 points<br />

resultant draw with De La Salle. The agony was over! In<br />

the next five matches we registered four glorious<br />

triumphs, with the most heartening and splendiferous<br />

conquest being over Alphlngton. The team was Instructed<br />

at three-quarter time to score in every minute in<br />

the last quarter, and their obedience was abundant. The<br />

transition from agony to ecstasy was rampantly<br />

exemplified by the six goal loss to St. Kllda in the first<br />

match and the subsequent two goal victory over them In<br />

the last confrontation of the season. Many thanks to all<br />

those concerned with this encouraging start to many<br />

football careers. Special thanks go to the parents who<br />

lent their suppor!, and also to the umpire, John<br />

McDonald, who performed a thankless task. Bestwishes<br />

gc to the players for the rest of their football lives.<br />

A.C.C. SOCCER<br />

Thisyear's season was the second yeer ot competition<br />

within the A.e.C. It proved successful from the point of<br />

view that the Saccer XI established itself as one of the<br />

forerunners of success within the A.e.e. competition,<br />

Although we finished third, it was a most rewarding<br />

and enjoyable season.<br />

Most gratitying for the teem was the interestdisplayed<br />

by the Junior School in our home games and in the<br />

training for the 1stand 2nd XIteams. Many thanks to Mr.J.<br />

Pyrgosfor the many hard hours and ceaseless attention<br />

he lavished upon the team.<br />

Congratulations to St.Kilda for winning the competition.<br />

1. GREG BUSCH: Although he suffered from "acute<br />

shortness",he proved to be an essential part of the<br />

team.<br />

2. MICHAEL CUMMINS: Unfortunately plagued by Injury<br />

during the seeson; however, when called upon<br />

he always performed well.<br />

3. MICK EPIFANO: The most consistent and steady<br />

player upon the field - despite a slight mishap,<br />

Michael formed an important part in the backbone<br />

of the defence,<br />

4. ROSS ITALIANO: A late acquisition to the team - he<br />

was an extremely solid and reliable defender.<br />

5, PAUL CONNELL: One of the stronger players In the<br />

teem - he provided the most service to the team;<br />

his anticipation of the play proved invaluable on<br />

several occasions.<br />

6. JOHN MONTEMURRO (Captain): He provided<br />

guidance and advice at all times, The teem often<br />

relied upon his judgement to get them through a<br />

hard game,<br />

7. CHRIS RYAN: An unpredictable player who<br />

showed flashes of brilliance. For every goal he<br />

scored he just missed about 4 others.<br />

8. ROCCO PARADISO: Has tremendous potential -<br />

he will develop into a fine player if hisperformances<br />

of this year continue.<br />

9. ROBERT WEGNER: He performed consistently well,<br />

scoring some brilliant goals during the season, His<br />

speed and agility will make him the focal point of<br />

next year's team.<br />

10. STEVECASHEN: Hasan Inbuilt ability to score goals<br />

- he is hampered only by his height. He will be an<br />

important part of next yeer's team.<br />

11.GIANNI CAMPOBASSI: A very skilful mid-fielder<br />

who played an important part in directing the flow of<br />

play throughout the season,<br />

12, VAUGHAN BEAN: Our central striker - a vital link in<br />

the team who acted as the centre of attack, continually<br />

harassing the defence - a fine player.<br />

13. MARK MACDONALD: Theyoungest member of the<br />

teem who displays tremendous skillsanci ;Jotentlal.<br />

However, sometimes his aggression would be more<br />

fitting on a football field.<br />

14, GABRIEL GENNAI: The continually complaining,<br />

never compromising member ofthe team. However,<br />

he proved to be a solid utility player. An especially<br />

good performance was his game against St.Kilda,<br />

the last game.<br />

15. JOHN SMOLKA: Heplayed a numberof games and<br />

when called upon he performed admirably. Hewas<br />

a fine example of a player who does his best but<br />

doesn't complain if he does not get a game.<br />

Second XI Soccer<br />

The Second Eleven had quite a successful season, Of<br />

our eight games, we won five and drew one. The team<br />

performed very well Indefeat, too, especially incontaining<br />

the unbeaten Altona to two goals.<br />

The role of Captain was reliably filled by Shoun<br />

O'Neill, with Kelvin Raywood as his deputy, These two<br />

provided effective leadership both on and off the field.<br />

The whole squad is to be commended for the sustained<br />

interestand enthusiasm it showed throughout the<br />

season, Although each game produced one or two<br />

outstanding players, the overall result of third on the<br />

ladder isdue to the consistent effortsof each member of<br />

the squad.<br />

well deseNed, One just hod 10watch Ihem train, I hod<br />

the pleasure of coaching them at Olympic Pool In the<br />

final week and It was obvious the amount of hard work<br />

they had put In, (Some senior boys, I hope, will take<br />

notice of the Juniors' attitude towards training,)<br />

Congratulations for the Juvenile Cup must also go to<br />

Ion Bibby and Mark Johnston for all their time and effort,<br />

The Parade team trained at TryBoysYouth Club and<br />

although the pool wasn't very wide (only three lanes) It<br />

proved to be an excellent training venue for most boys,<br />

Training started at 7 a,m, and went through until 8,15<br />

Athletics<br />

It is some years now since a HouseAthletic Sportshas<br />

been held at Parade. In its place we have now introduced<br />

inter-room carnivals and decathlons. These engender<br />

a good deal of interest and enthusiasm. They<br />

also promote a sense of unity, and offer an opportunity<br />

for students to develop leadership qualities.<br />

Information gained from these activities helped in<br />

selecting athletes for the training squad. Unfortunately it<br />

was the end of second term before anything more was<br />

done toward preparing the team for the AC.C. Carnival.<br />

The resultsof this year's decathlons were<br />

Form 5:<br />

Interstate Athletic Carnival<br />

At the Instigation of Brother Greening, a Christian<br />

Brothers Interstate Athletic Carnival was organised for<br />

the last weekend of September. The meet was held at<br />

the National Athletic Stadium in Canberra. The schools<br />

involved were - St.Patnck's College, Goulburn, St.Patnck's<br />

College, Strathfield, St. Edmund's College Canberra<br />

and of course, Parade; unfortunately St. Kevin's<br />

College Toorak had to withdraw Inthe week prior to the<br />

meet.<br />

We traveiled by bus, departing early Thursday morn.<br />

ing (Showday) and returning mid-morning Sunday.<br />

While in Canberra we stayed at UrsulaCollege at the<br />

Australian National University.Thetrip was a tremendous<br />

success. Everyone who went is eagerly looking forward<br />

to next year's. I must thank Michael McLaughlin, Secretary<br />

of the Old Paradians Athletic Club, who came along<br />

to help Brother Challis and myself,<br />

Unfortunately. due to October tests, only two H.S.C.<br />

students were able to make the trip. Nevertheless, our<br />

overail performance was very good, particularly in the<br />

distance events and field events. Our first place gelters<br />

were: D. McCann (800); P. Wood (400); S. Kos (800): J.<br />

Breeding (High): A Clarkson (400, 1500); J. Gculding<br />

Athletic Trials<br />

Members of the athletic squad participated in four<br />

other warm-up meets in preparation for the Ae.e. Carnival.<br />

These were at Aberfeldie, Glenhuntly, Fawkner<br />

and BoxHill.Thelast of these was conducted by Parade.<br />

A,C,C. Athletic Carnival<br />

As was indicated at the preliminary meets, the distance<br />

and field events were to be our strong points. A<br />

number of early wins in these put us at the top of the<br />

progressive totals, and meant that excitement was high<br />

in the Parade camp. It was weil into the afternoon's<br />

program before we slipped down the ladder to finishup<br />

in fifth place out of the ten coileges. Eventhen we were<br />

only twenty points off second place.<br />

Cross Country<br />

Our most outstanding performer in this year's A.C.C.<br />

Cross-Country was DAMIAN BRASIER.who won his age<br />

group for the third consecutive year. With ninety runners<br />

in each age group. it is a very good effort to make the<br />

top ten. Those who achieved this were D. McCANN, G.<br />

MANDiLE, R. WEGNER, M. SMiTH. S. McCORMACK, C.<br />

LAWSON, G. BARNES and C. GLASL.<br />

These efforts and the all-round depth of talent helped<br />

Parade take off third place, nearly 500 points clear of<br />

the fourth team.<br />

Cross-Country champions for 1978 are: -<br />

Senior: Dale McCann<br />

Under 17: Damian Brasier<br />

Under 16: Craig Lawson<br />

Hockey<br />

Thisyear Parade fielded (for the firsttime ever) hockey<br />

teams. Theyplayed inthe Independent School's Hockey<br />

Association. and met with a fair amount of success.The<br />

most slgnifcant point though was that hockey provided<br />

the means for quite a number of boys to represent the<br />

College. whereas without it. they would not have had<br />

such an opportunity. Overall we had some 60 boys playing<br />

the game for the school. Besidesplaying the game.<br />

there was the opportunity for coaching. In this we were<br />

indebted to Mr. Doug Stewart of the Greensborough<br />

club. who not only gave up much of his time to coach<br />

and umpire. but also arranged for players such as Jim<br />

Irgine. vice-captain of the Australian team to give demonstrations<br />

to the teams.<br />

At the conclusion of the season a presentation night<br />

was held and the following awards were made:<br />

Best. Fairest BestTeam Man MostImproved<br />

Open Shoun O'Neill John Smolka Brendan Harrison<br />

U16 Corio Contebaro Stephen Murphy Brendan Meese<br />

U15 Greg Busch Stephen Foster Joseph Dunlop<br />

Ul4 Brendan Ryan Ricky Theunissen Paul Yammouni<br />

Finally a word of thanks should go to all the parents<br />

who helped in many capacities throughout the season.<br />

especially with the transportation of teams to places as<br />

far afield as Mt. Eliza and Geelong.<br />

Opens - The opens fared particularly well against<br />

opponents with far more experience. Undaunted by this<br />

they set about each game with a rare style of enthusiasm<br />

that marked their play with unique eamestness<br />

- a fact not loston our opponents or their supporters.The<br />

attack was iead by Shaun O'Neill vice-captain and<br />

chief goal scorer. He was ably supported by captain<br />

John Smolka along with Peter Wilson. John Viero. Kelvin<br />

Raywood and T."Keve" Stone.Theredoubtable half line<br />

centred around the volatile Mark O'Connor. flanked by<br />

stalwarts Brendan Harrisonand P."Paddy" Connel. At full<br />

back was the hard hitting Rob Bakkersand Mark Neal.<br />

Edi Petehand Damian Cosgriff shared the machinations<br />

as goalies. The Opens finished third on the ladder.<br />

Under 16'5 - Theteam that took all before them after<br />

coming from nowhere. After quite a deal of bad luck.<br />

the team developed into a very skilful side who produced<br />

some dazzling displays of teamwork. all of which<br />

augurs well for next season. Full credit for the rennaisance<br />

must go to Mr. Gronow who took over as coach<br />

during the season. Captain and forward was Carlo Contebaro.<br />

He was supported by Michael Barker. a goal<br />

sneak who had the unerring knack of being at the right<br />

place at the right time. Other forwards were Brendan<br />

Meese. Paul Guest and Tom Anderson. The half line got<br />

plenty of work but Michael Gronow. David Gillingham<br />

and TonyFitzpatrick were more than equal to it.We were<br />

indeed fortunate to have the hard hitting Steve Murphy<br />

at full back along with PeterCooper and George Bakos.<br />

Marc Addicoat did a stirlingjob in goals. The Under 16's<br />

ended up second on the ladder. and had there been a<br />

trophy for most improved side. they would have won it<br />

hands down.<br />

Under 15'5 - In many ways a history-making side!<br />

Our firstpremiership hockey side (and in their firstseason<br />

too) and the first Paradian to score a goal for his school<br />

_ Gerard Buykx.just happened to be in thisside. Stillthe<br />

side deselVed all the success it gol. Itplayed consistently<br />

well. being undefeated in competition games and in<br />

fact conceding only one goal for the season.<br />

Fullcredit must go to the skilful and inspirational play<br />

of Greg Buschwho was assisted in attack by the mercurial<br />

Gerard Buykx.the consistent Mauro Gentile and redoubtable<br />

trio of Joe Dunlop. Adrian Maiolla and Tony<br />

Doolan. The very tight half line consisted of Mlck Vangyzel.<br />

the hard running Steve Smithand Steve Foster.Full<br />

Backs were Matt Theunissenand Eric Hormann. Last but<br />

definitely not least was goalie Mick laccabucci who<br />

received many admiring accolades from both supporters<br />

and opposition for his daring saves. A side who<br />

thoroughly deselVed their championship.<br />

Under 14'5 - Our junior side was blighted with bad<br />

luck all season. Starting off in brilliant form. they were<br />

regraded into a position where most of the team were<br />

playing a year above their age. Stillthey put up a very<br />

game performance - besides seeing a good deal of<br />

the countryside as they toured from MI. Elizato Geelong<br />

in search of foes! Again we were lucky to have a player<br />

of great skill leading this side - Brendan Ryan. who<br />

unlike most others had played the game before. Others<br />

in the attack included the indefatigable Rick Theunlssen<br />

and John Kolenda. who on his day was unsurpassable.<br />

Paul Hayes. Andrew Prest and Stephen Lloyd also<br />

played well in attack. The half line consisted of Paul<br />

O'Connor. Nev. Kerr.Adrian Nugent. Brendan Hyde and<br />

Peter Vangyzel. Full backs Angelo D'Amore and Paul<br />

Yammouni proved more than a handful for most opponents.<br />

Luc Addicoat backed up the team with a good<br />

season in goa Is.<br />

The under 14'scame fourth this year. and hopefully<br />

with a more settled season. should do better next year.<br />

LOOkingto next season. we are hoping to field as<br />

many teams again. with the hope of also forming an Old<br />

Boys'team. based on thisyear's Open side. but naturally<br />

open to anybody<br />

interested in playing.<br />

Western Australia in the Second Term holidays,<br />

A feature of this year has been the AC.C. Basketball<br />

Volleyball<br />

Volleyball was introduoed to Parade through Physioal<br />

Education classes and it was tram the interest developed<br />

there that three school teams were tormed.<br />

The regional oompetition was held at Heidelberg<br />

YMCA for Division 1 teams, Montmorency High for Division<br />

2 and Heidelberg Teoh. for Division 3 teams.<br />

Parade had entered one team in Division 1 and although<br />

the initial skill level of the team was below standard<br />

it quickly improved, mainly due to the excellent<br />

oompetition. Theteam consisted of Brian Barnes,Robert<br />

Wegner, Aida Basile, Anthony Scully, Paul O'Connell.<br />

Stephen Fahey, Stephen Ispanovlc and Anthony Farrell.<br />

The team finished second last, but the boys should be<br />

very proud of their efforts, particularly in view of the fact<br />

that they took sets off both teams that played in the<br />

Grand Final.<br />

The real excitment came inthe two teams in Division3.<br />

Both teams won through to playoff in the Grand Final<br />

and the improvement in skill level was remarkable over<br />

57<br />

the last 3 weeks of competition.<br />

KurtElder'steam, Parade 1,were the favourites, but it<br />

was Michael Neison's Parade 2 which took out the first<br />

set 15-13. Parade 1 fought back to take the next two sets<br />

15-2, 15-3 and the game looked to be all over. Some<br />

quick adjustments to the team iine-up saw Parade 2<br />

fight back to take the fourth set 15-2 and the scene was<br />

set for the final and deciding set.<br />

At 10 all In the final set it was still anyone's game;<br />

however, a last minute spirited display by Nelson and his<br />

team saw them become Division 3 Champions by taking<br />

the set 15-12.<br />

Teams:<br />

PARADE 1: Kurt Elder, Ross Kontos, Michael Love,<br />

Stephen Okey, Stephen Hewatt, Vin Ryan, Greg Mandile.<br />

PARADE2: Michael Nelson, Michael O'Sullivan, Pat<br />

Toner, Jeff Vilianti, Gabriei Gennai, Jeff Milroy, Michael<br />

It Ishoped that we can continue to field Parade Volleyball<br />

teams and strivefor bigger and better things next<br />

year.<br />

Debating<br />

FORMS 5 AND 6<br />

Despite the strong Parade tradition of debating. the<br />

school was not involved in any formal inter-school competition<br />

in 1977. At the start of 1978, however, the Debating<br />

Association of Victoria invited usto take part In their<br />

competition, and an appeai to the students produ~ed a<br />

strong and enthusiastic response. As in all such activIties,<br />

there was not a place for everybody who tried auf, and<br />

the final teams consisted of Peter Conroy (Capt), Mark<br />

Neal, PeterWilson,and for the iast debate of the season,<br />

Shaun O'Neill. in "A" Grade, and from Year 11, Alex<br />

Morelli (Capt), Tony Todaro and Peter Rayner in "8"<br />

Grade. Damlen Cosgriff, Anthony Coon and Steven<br />

Scroggie took part in invitation HS.C. debates against<br />

C.L.C Eltham, and Damian Neyion, John Smith and<br />

Peter Thomas did the same as Year II representatives,<br />

Both of the D.A.V, teams did very well indeed, especially<br />

considering the inexperience and nervousnessof<br />

all the debaters at the startof the season. The"A" Grade<br />

team lost only one debate - the first one against SI.<br />

Kevin's, which was, unfortunately just enough to. keep<br />

them out of the finals. Mark Neal did very well, Winning<br />

the adjudicator's vote for the best speaker in several<br />

debates The "8" Grade team did even belter, sweeping<br />

all before them with a forceful and aggressive style<br />

of debating. Undefeated inthe home and away rounds,<br />

they disposed of Saiesian College in the quarter-finC;1ls,<br />

only to be beaten fair and square by a very well equipped<br />

Wesley team in the semi-final. Peter Rayner and<br />

TonyTodaro shone out, winning the adjudicator's award<br />

twice and three times respectively. Thiswas a fine effort<br />

for a team new to the business,and augurs well tor 1979.<br />

Thanksare due to all those who took part, and to those<br />

parents, relations and friends whose support for the debaters<br />

was constant. as well as to Mr. Crennan who was<br />

the co-ordinator.<br />

CHESS TEAM<br />

Parade entered a relatively new area at school competition<br />

this year with the forming of the Parade Chess<br />

Team. This came as a resuit of chess sets being installed<br />

in the Library for the use of the students. Chess has been<br />

played in inter-school competition for a number of years.<br />

Br. Wright arranged for Parade to be represented in this<br />

competition and offered any interested students the<br />

chance to test their playing skills in an elimination series.<br />

Ten students were finally selected from approximately<br />

thirty-five entrants.<br />

Each round was played after school at the host team's<br />

school. We often found ourselves far afield in places we<br />

had never heard of; however. this added to the variety<br />

and interest of the competition. We soon found thaf most<br />

of the opposition players were very proficient at the<br />

game; however the Parade team acquitted itself quite<br />

well considering our comparafive lack of experience.<br />

Distinguished performances were made by James<br />

Warden (form five) and his brother Ben Warden (form six)<br />

who. in the fourth round. played a marathon three hour<br />

match at Mt. Scopus. Eventually we finished sixth overall.<br />

Special thanks are due to Br. Wright for fumishing the<br />

opportunity for the establishment of the team and congratulations<br />

to the players for their excellent efforts.<br />

IT'S ACADEMIC<br />

Parade once again entered a team in the HSV7 programme.<br />

"IT'S ACADEMIC". After a very good start.<br />

which saw us leading up until the start of the last round.<br />

we unfortunately were not quick enough to "beat the<br />

buzzer". The team which won our heat, Donvale High.<br />

59<br />

eventually went on to compete in the State Final. Congratulations<br />

to team members for their participation -<br />

Paul Pika. Russell Lew Kee. Luke Smith and Gordon<br />

Falconer. These boys were selected from over forty year<br />

10 boys who tried out for the team.


School Mass<br />

On March 17the school assembled as a bOdy for the<br />

firsttime. Theoccasion was the School Mass.the launching<br />

event for a continuing stable spirit and endeavour<br />

between the staff and students for the coming year.<br />

Mass was celebrated by Fathers Creed, Gebbie, and<br />

Bergin.<br />

The ceremony also provided the occasion for the investiture<br />

of the College Council. John Dinan, last year's<br />

College Captain, gave a short impressive speech and<br />

then presented ChrisRyanwith the captain's badge. This<br />

was followed by the twelve council members being<br />

presented with their respective badges by the three<br />

celebrants.<br />

Family Day<br />

Family Day was a great success due to the efforts of<br />

the Ladies' Auxiliary and the Fathers' Association. Many<br />

thanks are due to the staff members, especially Mr.John<br />

Jennings and Rev.Br.Leo Smith, and to members of the<br />

HSCclass who assisted on the day. Total takings for the<br />

day were $7.000 plus.Theschool effortswere as follows:<br />

Santa Monica<br />

Form 3 Be 4 Camp<br />

Tents were pitched at Santa Monica. a lovely spot<br />

about eight miles from Lome. The camp site had<br />

facilities for only forty. but we managed to accommodate<br />

170 boys. As soon as we settled in, boys were<br />

assigned to work groups for the purpose of dealing with<br />

every-day chores. Thiswas done with a view to fostering<br />

independence and self-sufficiency. The boys executed<br />

their duties with enthusiasm and gusto sothat they would<br />

leave themselves with ample time for activities such as<br />

nature walks, orienteering, biology and science walks,<br />

canoeing and sports. Swimming appeared to be the<br />

most favourite pastime, mainly due to the fine weather<br />

we were experiencing.<br />

Evening activities were structured by the boys and<br />

included a fair amount of drama. Virtually every teacher<br />

In the school was "taken off", and I am surethe teachers<br />

who were there will have had something to think about.<br />

One of the highlights of the evening was the teacherfather<br />

hunt. Itconsisted of staff and fathers being given a<br />

five-minutes' start and then being hunted out in the thick<br />

scrub. The sight of 160 torches glowing in pitch black<br />

surroundings was quite a spectacle.<br />

I would like to thank the teachers and fathers who<br />

assisted in making this camp a most enjoyable experience.<br />

Achievements<br />

Paradians, both current students and old boys, have<br />

had notable achievements in sportsover the past year.<br />

This is undoubtedly a reflection of the tradition of endeavour<br />

and sportsmanship that is fostered at Parade.<br />

The following Isa listof boys that has come to the attention<br />

of the editor.<br />

Steve Cashen, Form 5, has had a good season with<br />

the Carlton Cricket Club in their second and third<br />

grades. He was also associated with the team that won<br />

the W. J. Dowling Shield for Cariton for the season 1977-<br />

78<br />

Ċraig Considine. HSCclass of 1976,was a representative<br />

for hiscountry at the recent Commonwealth Games<br />

held in Edmonton, Canada.<br />

Chris Fenech, Form5, had an eventful year inthe sport<br />

of water polo, being selected for the Victorian and<br />

Australian U-18teams and the Victorian and Australian<br />

Schoolboys teams. He toured North America as a<br />

member of the Australian U-18squad.<br />

Philip Heffernan, Form 5, has had a fair measure of<br />

success on the squash courts. He won the Balwyn Open<br />

Plate and was runner-up in six tournaments.<br />

Mark Lawson, Form 5, !'lasenjoyed a successful season<br />

with the Collingwood Football Club. The highlight of<br />

hisyear was playing inthe U-19Grand Final althe MCG.<br />

Joseph Rosario, Form 4, won the Victorian U-14Table<br />

TennisChampionship. He was also a semi-finalist in the<br />

Australian U-14Championship.<br />

Walkathon<br />

This year the Walkathon was an all-time record<br />

S12,000.The Committee consisted of Brian Barnes,Chris<br />

Jackson, Maurice Lane, Bernard Peters, Ryan Vanderwert<br />

(members of the 1977 committee), Chris Ryan,<br />

Shane Aitken, John Montemurro, Shan McCarthy<br />

rH.S.C.);Tony Todaro, Alex Morelli, Michael Smith and<br />

Stephen Hewatt (Form V).<br />

After many weeks of enthusiastic planning, lost note<br />

books, thumb biting, etc" the day was changed from<br />

21stSeptember to 15thAugust. The wet weather almost<br />

meant a cancellation of the date; however, a break in<br />

the clouds sent everyone scurrying off, which ruined<br />

Brother Swaney's military-like precise 5-minute intervals.<br />

Some ran, some walked, some skate-boarded, some<br />

loafed, but all got back sate and sound to catch the<br />

buses at 1.15p.m. Free drinks were handed out by the<br />

ladies (a heated bus shelter would come In handy).<br />

The enthusiasm was so high that the cross-country<br />

runners,who were not available on 15thAugust. ran ilthe<br />

following Wednesday. (Thisyear there was no need to<br />

"invite" disappearing members to a Repeat Performance.)<br />

The top amount this year was collected by Tony Todaro,<br />

Form V Room 8 - S219.80.Special commendation<br />

isdue to Peter Rayner, one of our blind students,who<br />

collected S50.50and walked the whole 20 km. Form I<br />

Room 22 - under the able direction of BrotherWynne -<br />

collected the magnificent sum of Sl,669.20.Eightboys in<br />

Room 22 collected over S50.00each.<br />

The response from the whole school was a very generous<br />

one. It isinteresting to note that last year's prize went<br />

to a FormIboy, Michael Kent - S325.Thisyear it went to<br />

a Form V student. Who knows next year?<br />

Reverend Father Bill Meese, a Dominican Priestand<br />

an Old Paradlan, has already received the sum of<br />

Sl,500 towards a hospital In the Solomon Islands.He will<br />

be coming to Parade early In the next year to address<br />

the school.<br />

Art Show<br />

The fourth Parade Ari Show was held on Friday 29th<br />

September. Saturday and Sunday in the COllege Hall.<br />

Fernsand shrubsand brightly coloured flowers were in<br />

abundance amongst the exhibits. and soft music<br />

played as the Committee members and a happy crowd<br />

of parents and friends heard an interesting talk by artist<br />

Mr. John Borrack who opened the Exhibition.<br />

The guests gathered to enjoy savouries. champagne<br />

and chicken before moving around to view the 450<br />

paintings. These were artistically arranged and most<br />

interestingly displayed.<br />

66<br />

Demonstrations of pottery. glass-blowing. macrame<br />

and china painting drew enthusiastic viewers during the<br />

show. and on the opening night. artist Margaret Dawson<br />

gave a demonstration of landscape painting which<br />

proved a great attraction.<br />

Boys from the College showed their skill at woodturning<br />

in a special section of the Hall. and other exhibits<br />

included weaving. jewellery. leatherwork and hand<br />

crafts of various kinds.<br />

Altogether the 1978 Art Show was a triumph for all<br />

those associated with it. and a most rewarding effort for<br />

the COllege generally.<br />

Horse Riding Classes<br />

Horseriding was one of the new projects initiated at<br />

Parade in 1978.The early success of the project was due<br />

to the great support we received from a number of<br />

people connected with the school. In the space of five<br />

hours the parents were responsible for the full construction<br />

of our horse yards during the second working bee.<br />

These were constructed out of treated pine and are<br />

situated almost opposite the Brothers' residence. The<br />

middle school Woodwork classes undertook the full<br />

construction of a Saddlery near the yards. Thanksisalso<br />

due to the many parents who donated equipment and<br />

to the four families who supplied horses.<br />

During Third Term 65 boys from Forms 1-4 went<br />

through the classes.Classesof 45 minutes in length were<br />

heid for groups of sixon a weekly basis. Those students<br />

who developed a reasonable degree of competence<br />

were eligible to choose riding as an option for sport and<br />

could also request to ride at the college on a Saturday.<br />

Riding during these times has been supervised by Brs.<br />

Challis and O'Neill. It is hoped that we will be able to<br />

expand our existing programme in 1979.<br />

Queensland<br />

Trip<br />

We leff Parade at 6 a.m .. Friday. September 25th.<br />

bound far Parkesin southern New SouthWales. Thiswas<br />

a very long and tedious journey by coach. The main<br />

attraction of the firstday was a tour of the C.S.l.R.O.radio<br />

telescope at Parkes. From there we went to Goondiwindi.<br />

Queensland. where we spent our second night.<br />

Thefollowing day took usover the Tropic of Cancer into<br />

Rockhampton where we spent our third night.<br />

Mechanical difficulties with the coach delayed our<br />

arrival in Airlie by eleven hours.it was nearly 11p,m" too<br />

late to pitch our tents. sowe spent the night inside a iarge<br />

shed with no walls.<br />

The fiffh day was set aside for a cruise through the<br />

Whitsunday Passage, Our initial stop was at Hook Island<br />

where we checked out the reef in a gloss-bottomed<br />

boat and then from on underwater obseNatory off the<br />

island. Both views were absolutely fantastic. We then<br />

went off to South Molle Island. and we were seNed a<br />

superb lunch on boord, We also took advantage of the<br />

large swimming pool on the island to cool off from the<br />

hot sun,Affer looking around and collecting a few Items<br />

we soiled for Daydream Island. Herewe saw an Incredible<br />

swimming pool - it was filled with sea water and it<br />

was designed to zig zag in all directions, As if that weren.t<br />

enough. it even had a bar in the centre, That night<br />

we went to watch and compete in the local toad races,<br />

Unfortunately we had no winners. but we had a close<br />

second in "Roda's rooter Mk, 2",<br />

The following day was our first long-awaited break.<br />

Some of us hod a fantastic time cruising around the<br />

island. others went swimming. while the remainder<br />

chose to see the sightsaround Airlle Beach, When night<br />

fell, it was down to the local disco to swing to the sound<br />

of the Bee Gees.<br />

The following day saw us travelling down the Bruce<br />

Highway to the Bundaberg Rum Distillery for a most<br />

fascinating tour. We had not reaiized till then that sugar<br />

cane had such interesting industrial applications, The<br />

68<br />

coach then journeyed on to Noosa Heads. Hereagain it<br />

was out with the bathers. what with the temperature<br />

soaring to 33°C and our campsite being virtually on the<br />

beach.<br />

Unaccustomed as we were to the intense heat, there<br />

were quite a few cases of sunburn, Two students had to<br />

be taken to hospital for treatment. Thenight life at Noosa<br />

Heads was quite uneventful. almost as exciting as at<br />

Parkes,<br />

Finally the day had come for our excursion to Surfers<br />

Paradise, On the way, we stopped off at a plantation<br />

where we sampled some luscious tropical fruits,We arrived<br />

at about 3 o'clock. pitched our tents. and then<br />

went for a long swim, This was all the more welcome<br />

since we had been cooped up in our hot and humid<br />

coach since 6 o'clock that morning, In the evening,<br />

those who dared ventured onto the Surfers Paradise<br />

disco scene,<br />

Thenext day was equally exciting and could be rated<br />

as the best day of our trip, We strarted off at the famous<br />

Sea Worid where we saw some of the most Incredible<br />

aquatic acts anyone could hope for, We saw men feeding<br />

seven-foot sharks,sea-lions jumping through hoops<br />

and playing musica/lnstruments. and dolphins leaping<br />

fiffeen feet into the air and flying through rings of fire, We<br />

then mode our way to Gllltraps Auto Museum where we<br />

saw a selection of eiegant automobiles from the past,<br />

That evening we settled down to a beautiful fruit dinner<br />

cooked by our gourmet chet. Gene. But suddenly the<br />

rains came, and with our tents tucked away, we scrambled<br />

across to the Christian Brothersschool in Southport<br />

for the night.<br />

The next day was a full day's journey to Port Macquarie.<br />

broken only by a visit to the "World's Biggest<br />

Banana", The following day was spent entirely on the<br />

bus. this time headed for Mascot Alrpcrt in Sydney, We<br />

arrived five minutes before departure time, but we all<br />

managed to board the plane,<br />

I would ilke to end this report with a special thanks to<br />

BrotherChallis and Brother Fitzgerald for putting up with<br />

us and for their patient efforts in organising the trip,<br />

Western<br />

Aust. Trip<br />

Our tnp to the State of Excitement began with an<br />

uneventful 31/2 hour flight to Perth.Upon reaching Perth,<br />

we went for a picnic lunch at the very picturesque Yanchep<br />

National Park.Many of ushired row-boats and the<br />

teachers were clearly outshone Inthe fine art of rowing.<br />

The next day we boarded a ferry for RottnestIsland in<br />

beautiful sunny weather. An expensive bike ride enabled<br />

usto see most of the island as well as the natives<br />

(including the famed "Barry Quokka"). We saw the<br />

same sights again, as it fumed out, on a bus tour of the<br />

island. Thereturntrip on the ferrywas very soothing - the<br />

teachers were warned about one hardy student who<br />

had eaten a hamburger before the trip but we noticed<br />

thatthey themselves didn't stay on the deck for very long.<br />

Next day an expensive, free morning in Perth we vis-<br />

Ited the EICabala Blanco horse sfud and saw a number<br />

of exciting sights (and a few Anduluslan horsesas well).<br />

The staff were treated to a sing-song feafuring "Meathead"<br />

on the returntrip to our caravan pork where some<br />

"bockies" got set up for the trots that night.<br />

Day four tock usfrom Perthto Augusta, via Fremantle,<br />

Busselton, fhe "Jewel" limestone cave and Cape<br />

Leeuwin lighthouse which is at the South-western tip of<br />

Austraiia.<br />

The next day we set out for Aibany, travelling through<br />

a forest of immense Karri trees. We stopped for a few<br />

hours to climb the Gloucester Tree lockout which is the<br />

highest tree lookout in the world.<br />

Themorning of day sixwas quiet until a frantic teacher<br />

started complaining that someone had stolen histowel.<br />

It later turned up as three-quarters of a towel and a face<br />

washer. We then left for Australia's only operating whaling<br />

station at Frenchman's Bay near Albany. Itcould also<br />

lay claim to be the most vile-smelling place In Australia.<br />

We were all sprayed with air freshener as we climbed<br />

back on the bus. Mr. Josswas given an extra long spray<br />

even though he hadn't been near the worst port of It.<br />

Following this we saw some more ordinary sights(to save<br />

embarrassing a certain Maths teacher, we won't mention<br />

the blow-hole).<br />

Day seven took us from Aibany to Esperance, we<br />

passed through the StirlingRanges on the way, with Ray,<br />

the dnver, sitting on about 75 mph as he did throughout<br />

the trip.<br />

After Esperance, with itspink lake, and Norseman with<br />

Its truncated pyramid we were onto the Nullabor (the<br />

treeless plain that has trees). Meanwhile our cultural<br />

teachers were leading the "bus choir" in the singing (or<br />

slaughtering) of such classics as - "The Old Lady Who<br />

Swallowed a Fly", "The House of the Rising Sun" and<br />

"Swanle". We camped on the Nullabor that night after<br />

travelling about 500 miles.<br />

The next morning a number of runners (including an<br />

out-of-condltlon driver), set out to run across the Nullabor.<br />

They were picked up at vanous stages (Ray first),<br />

and we headed on. Our next stop was at the town<br />

Nullabor where a certain Mr. Jossamazed the locals by<br />

wearing a can-opener around his neck. After crossing<br />

the W.A./S.A. border we reached our next campsite at<br />

Ceduna.<br />

Thenext day's travel was to PortAugusta via IronKnob<br />

with its big trucks and Whyalla with its big ships.<br />

Day eleven began as we looked forward to a tour of<br />

the Barossa Valiey but our hopes were dashed as a<br />

pollee car pulled usup Justoutside PortPirie.We thought<br />

that Ray must have vloiated some road law but the<br />

69<br />

police accused us of stealing 10 HANDBAGS! - of ali<br />

things, from a shop in Whyalla the day before. After over<br />

an hour of fruitlesssearch, the pollee apologised and let<br />

us go our own way.<br />

The delay prevented us from reaching the Barossa<br />

and so we went straight to Adelaide. The highlight of<br />

Adelaide was the view of the city lights.<br />

We rose at 5 a.m. on day twelve for the last leg of the<br />

Journey. Lunch was had near Dlmbocla where Peter<br />

Wilson presented Ray and John with our tokens of<br />

gratitude. One of the teachers was presented with a jar<br />

of peanut butter and we were on our way. Schocl was<br />

reached at about 7.00 p.m. and our twelve days of fun<br />

and frolic were over.<br />

Mr.Joss,the tour organizer, Br.Francis, Mr. Cosgriff, Mr.<br />

Jennings and Mr. Hughes mustreceive special thanks for<br />

their efforts which made the tour a success. Extraspecial<br />

thanks mustbe given for the work done by the dnver and<br />

the cook, Ray and John.<br />

Principals <strong>Report</strong><br />

The year 1978 began at a great tempo due to the<br />

impetus of the Silver Jubilee celebrations, for which a<br />

great deal of preparation had been made during last<br />

year. Thistempo was maintained during the year with<br />

innovations which proved quite successful and hopefuily<br />

they will remain so,<br />

We bade fareweil to Rev, 8r.S.Lavery to St.Leo's, Box<br />

Hill, thanking him for his enthusiastic managing of the<br />

Grade 5 of 1977.We also lostthe keen servicesof Mr. Ray<br />

Fittwho, with hiswife Betty,offered histeaching prowess<br />

to aid the education of the aborigines at Yarralin near<br />

Darwin. We wish them well.<br />

We also bade fareweil during the year to our<br />

groundsman, Mr. V. Lancaster. Vem had been with usfor<br />

five years and kept the grounds Inthe good order you so<br />

often praised. Unfortunately, he was forced to retire<br />

through recurring back troubles. He was ably replaced<br />

by Mr. R. Moore.<br />

Mr. G. Shoily was retained on the staff as fuil time P.E.<br />

and Mr.J.Sinclair was added to the staff as a fuil time Art<br />

teacher.<br />

Due to the seeming unavailability of the services of a<br />

regular chaplain, we were fortunate to gain the services<br />

of Rev. G. Clarke C.P. who takes a period of Christian<br />

Living in each of the Forms1 and 2 and is able to organize<br />

one of the priestsof hiscommunity for any priestly<br />

function he may require for the classes. Our thanks to<br />

Rev. Father J. Macklin, the Superior of the Passionist<br />

Houseat Templestowe for making his men available for<br />

us and also for his celebration of the inaugurai Father-<br />

/Son Mass and Communion,<br />

On March 15thwe celebrated our SilverJubilee with a<br />

Supper Dance at the Southem Cross Bailroom. Archbishop<br />

F.Little graced us by his presence and addressed<br />

the 400 guests on living up to the Christian traditions<br />

as shown and stressed over the years by the Parade<br />

Family. We also had present Mr.and Mrs.R.Williams who<br />

had traveiled from Albury for the occasion and In his<br />

address Ralph gave us the history of the College at<br />

Alphinglon. Also at the main table were the Principal of<br />

Victoria Parade 1952, Rev. Brother J. Carey, by whose<br />

foresight Alphington was acquired and developed,<br />

and the present Principal. Rev. Brother J. Wright. Our<br />

thanks go to the organizing committee which had been<br />

working since early 1977for making the function so successful.<br />

The second event of the Silver Jubilee celebrations<br />

was also very successful. Most Reverend J. O'Connell,<br />

auxiliary bishop of Melboume, was the principal celebrant<br />

of the open-air mass, assisted by old-boy priests of<br />

the College. Thismass was offtered by some 1200participants<br />

who included local dignitaries, parents, boys<br />

and friends of the college. Our thanks to the boys of St.<br />

Vincent's Boys' Home for providing the music for the<br />

occasion.<br />

During the year the staff has endeavoured to instilinto<br />

the boys the high standards parents have asked, yet I<br />

feel in some cases boys are forced into a double standard<br />

situation and some are unable to handle it. If you<br />

want the best from your boy in the school situation, then<br />

you must insist the same in his home environment, his<br />

associations outside of school such as footbail clubs,<br />

scouts, parish groups: in his affitudes towards people -<br />

family, relatives and friends, Ifeel parents need to supervise<br />

their boy's activities and friends in the age brackets<br />

for which the coilege caters. To know what is the right<br />

72


thing to do or say, and then do it, can be done if we insist<br />

often enough and firmly enough.<br />

As In the past, so toe this year, the boys have been<br />

generous with their time in helping with the various appeals<br />

that are repeatedly coming to us for help. The<br />

Freedom from Hunger Campaign, the Austin Hospital<br />

Doer Knock appeals had the usual band of coliectors.<br />

On a wider scale the classes aided the GAMA most<br />

generously, together with Yoeralia, Guide Dogs for the<br />

Blind, Poorman's Mass Appeal. Legacy Badges. Our<br />

Mission appeal has been used in helping the boys at<br />

one oflhe Brothers'Schoels in India at Asansol; In provid-<br />

Ing aids at the Brothers'Novitiate in New Guinea where<br />

we have ten native boys training to be Christian Brothers;<br />

Special Appeal for the Melbourne Overseas Mission in<br />

New Guinea, the remainder was sent to the Diocesan<br />

authorities for the missions.<br />

As in the past the boys were encouraged to take part<br />

in the various sperts catered for in the coliege. Thisaspect<br />

we feel is impertant towards the interest to be<br />

shown academicaliy. We have noticed a lack of interest<br />

Inschoel work inthose boys dodging their respensibillties<br />

In this field of coliege life and a waning of interest.<br />

studies and behaviour in those playing for the coliege<br />

and also for outside clubs.<br />

We thank Mr. Ian Bibby and those who helped In<br />

training the co liege swimming team at the beginning of<br />

the year. The team showed the results of good hard<br />

disciplined training by the success in the various carnivals<br />

In which we participated. Our congratulations and<br />

thanks to those boys for those many very early arduous<br />

mornings.<br />

Our thanks too, to those parents who helped our sporting<br />

teams of a Saturday morning either by being actively<br />

engaged with a team or by their encouragement<br />

by simply being present Saturday after Saturday. In<br />

cricket we were moderately successtulwith three teams<br />

reaching the finals. So toe In footbali we had a<br />

happy season with the boys endeavouring to play the<br />

spert as it should be played. Four of our seven teams<br />

reached the finals.<br />

Our congratulations to Brother T. Giles and Miss P.<br />

Roeney for their successful and tireless efforts Saturday<br />

afternoens at the basketbali stadium. In the first and<br />

second terms we were weli to the fore, at times playing<br />

teams much bigger in build and yet were far from disgraced.<br />

We did not take as active a part this year in tennis<br />

as in the past, partly due to a seeming lack of interest<br />

which we hope is just a passing phase. Boys need to<br />

remember that to succeed, particularly with a game like<br />

tennis, It demands a lot of self-sacrifice to practice hard<br />

and often.<br />

Our cross-country boys again trained hard this year<br />

and won several sections of the C.J.SA carnival at Royal<br />

Park. Unfortunately, due primarliy to the usual winter<br />

colds and flu, we could not carry on the good work at<br />

later carnivals.<br />

Paul O'Donneli, Shayne Annett, Robert Woed, David<br />

Williams, Kevin Colium and Dermott Spiliane represented<br />

us with the Senior Coliege at the ACC As this<br />

repert goes to print we hope the endeayours and training<br />

wlli be weli rewarded at the C.S.SA carnival.<br />

Once more the annual camps were heid successfuliy<br />

despite unfavourable weather. My thanks to those parents<br />

who helped and the teachers who shared the<br />

experiences of this side of coliege life.<br />

The Fathers' and Mothers' Associations held their<br />

many functions which help to knit the "Parade Family" so<br />

73<br />

well. We thank these committees for the time and effort<br />

spent and congratulate them for the great success they<br />

achieved. Perhaps one of the most successfulnights was<br />

the Father/Scn Communion which was held for the first<br />

time, hopefuliy It will continue and become one of the<br />

features of the annual calendar. The Father/Scn Sperts<br />

Nights were very successful with some 80% of the college<br />

taking part. ,<br />

The annual Barbeque was a great success with ali<br />

having a great time. TheExecutive Committee isalready<br />

busy planning for next year's for they feel it should be<br />

better. We raised some 57,000 at this year's B.B.Q.<br />

I thank ali these committees for their efforts for the<br />

coliege and particularly the executive officers for their<br />

suppert to me during the year.<br />

I thank all the parents for supporting the coliege so<br />

well.<br />

I am most grateful to the staff of the college. Brother E.<br />

Fathers' Association<br />

<strong>Report</strong><br />

Alphlngfon Fathers' Committee: 1978:<br />

President: Mr. W. Barnes<br />

Vice-President: Mr. J. Geary<br />

Secretary: Mr. J. Cabassi<br />

Treasurer: Mr. B.Toomey<br />

Committee: Mr. J. Gonzales; Mr. T.McGeary; Mr.<br />

P. Peyton; Mr. R. Webster; Mr. H.<br />

Plustwik; Mr. P. Casamento.<br />

The year' 1978 was significant as we celebrated the<br />

SilverJubilee of our college and through the formation of<br />

a joint Ladies' and Fathers' Committee, functions befitting<br />

the occasion were organised and successfully run.<br />

The theme for the year was to foster a closer relationship<br />

between the fathers and their sons,and to generate<br />

a closer bond of responsibility and interest between the<br />

fathers and the college.<br />

A highlight of the year was the Inaugural Father and<br />

SonCommunion Dinner.TheChristian spiritof the Parade<br />

Family was evidenced when looking back from the altar<br />

at SI.John's and seeing not a vacant seat available. Our<br />

thanks are extended to Brother Adams for his preparation<br />

of the liturgy, Father Macklin for celebrating the<br />

mass and to Mr. Francis Bourke for addressing the<br />

gathering at the dinner.<br />

TheQuarterly Meeting was an outstanding success,as<br />

we were fortunate to listen to an inspiring address from<br />

that wonderful philosopher, Father Brosnan.<br />

Our main ettort for the year was to assist with the<br />

capital required to construct the new basketball courts<br />

and by the medium of Working Bees,assistwith maintenance<br />

and new works as required by Brother Adams. I<br />

would like to thank all who willingly attended and<br />

worked so well at the working bees; despite the fact that<br />

a small fence now has 25 coats of paint and one working<br />

bee was called off by the Chain Gang boss 5 minutes<br />

prior to the sun coming out, much was achieved.<br />

Through a Jointmoney raising venture with the Bundoora<br />

Committee, we raised approximately 52000 towards<br />

the courts.<br />

Although we have been unable to receive a grant<br />

from the Government to assist with the erection of the<br />

much needed new Primary classrooms, the task of<br />

monetarily supporting the Brothersinorder to provide our<br />

boys with a Catholic education is nothing new. and in<br />

this our Jubilee Year, we are reminded of the sacrifices<br />

our predecessors made. Thiswill provide uswith the spirit<br />

to again support Brother Adams in his tireless endeavours<br />

to provide the necessary amenities for our<br />

boys and their teachers.<br />

Should we gauge the success of the Father and Son<br />

Sports Nights by monitoring the determination of the<br />

boys. the hope in their eyes when Dan has his turn, the<br />

level of laughter and the number who participate, we<br />

can say they were again successful.<br />

The Fishing Trip at the time of writing this report is still<br />

some weeks away but this report would be inconciusive<br />

without mentioning that we expect the Jubilee Year to<br />

conclude the Fathers' year with the much awaited<br />

Father and Son trip to Fraser National Pork in the first<br />

week-end in November. The only requirement not organised<br />

to date is the co-operation of the fish.<br />

.In conclusion, we. the Committee wouid like to thank<br />

BrotherAdams for his suppori and guidance throughout<br />

74<br />

the year and we pray that the projects he has undertaken<br />

on our behalf are brought to fruition.<br />

Iwouid like to thank the members of the committee for<br />

their support and willingness to give of their time and<br />

labours whilst in office for the ultimate betterment of our<br />

college.<br />

Jubilee and as a resultof those celebrations we cancelled<br />

our Annual Basket Dance which was planned for<br />

Febfl'ary.<br />

In .""arch we held our first function for the year, a<br />

basket lunchecn in the school hall which was preceded<br />

by Mass, celebrated by Father Tony Griffith of the Macleod<br />

parish. Our Guest Speaker was Dr. A. W. Wlllee<br />

PhD" who spoke on "Health. Happiness and Funthrough<br />

Fitness"and proved to be most entertaining.<br />

The remainder of our functions for the year were<br />

equally enjoyable and successful. the highlights being<br />

our Annual Dinner with Guest Speaker Mr. Vin Darroch,<br />

the Fashion Parade by Anne Jesulenko and the Progressive<br />

Dinner with the Fathers' Committee joining us and<br />

organising a Dutch Auction to tinish off the evening's<br />

festivities. Among our many other activities for the year<br />

means of the Sliver Circle.<br />

I would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. A. Ferrazza for their<br />

generosity In lending their home to ustwice thisyear; Mr.<br />

& Mrs. A. Carrazza for the use of their home for the<br />

SilverJubilee<br />

1953-1978<br />

<strong>Report</strong><br />

The year 1978became very significant to many past<br />

and present members of the Parade family as a year to<br />

reflect and celebrate on the achievements of the past<br />

25 years.<br />

Two major functions were organised to coincide with<br />

the official opening of the College 25 years previously<br />

on the 15thMarch. 1953.Thefunctions were in the form of<br />

a Jubilee Ball held at the Southern Cross Ballroom on<br />

Wednesday. 15th March. and an open air Mass celebrated<br />

on the slopes of the picturesque grounds of the<br />

Preparatory College on Sunday. 19th March.<br />

Approximately 320 people attended the Ball at which<br />

we were fortunate to have the current Archbishop of<br />

Melbourne. Sir Frank Little. as Guest of Honour. Among<br />

the Official Guestswho attended the ball were. Mr. and<br />

Mrs. Ralph Williams (President of the Old Paradians Association<br />

in 1953) Mr. and Mrs. Rene Stella (President of<br />

the Old Paradian Association 1978) Rev. Brother Carey<br />

PrinCiPalof Parade College 1953).Rev. BrotherAdams<br />

Principal of Parade Preparatory College 1978) Rev.<br />

~ rother Wright (Headmaster Parade SeniorSchool 1978)<br />

and Mr. and Mrs. Tony Villanti (President of the Silver<br />

Jubilee Committee).<br />

Thesuccess of the evening could be gauged from the<br />

numbers of mini re-unions being celebrated throughout<br />

the nigh!. with many past students. Brothers. Lay<br />

Teachers and parents recalling events and swapping<br />

comical anecdotes with one another.<br />

A table comprising students from the Foundation Year<br />

of 1953added the required touch of nostaigia by wearing<br />

their old school caps. Although the caps were<br />

somewhat the worse for wear. they still wore them with<br />

the pride you would expect from such a group.<br />

A booklet depicfing the historical growth of the College<br />

and of the many people involved in itsgrowth was<br />

prepared for the Jubilee Celebrations and presented at<br />

the ball. BrotherK.Smith,a past Principal of the College.<br />

made reference to the fact that the page headed<br />

"Progress Has Its Penalties", was also the page that displayed<br />

his photograph. Following some humorous byplay.<br />

it was agreed that we should write it off as a<br />

printers' error.<br />

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of a<br />

plaque commemorating the Silver Jubilee of the College<br />

to Rev. Brofher Adams from the Old Paradians<br />

Association and presented on their behaif by Mr. Ralph<br />

Williams. who in 1953 presented the deeds of the<br />

"Flowerdale" property to Brother Carey.<br />

TheOpen-Air Mass, celebrated by an Old Boy Bishop<br />

of Parade. The Most Rev. P.J. O'Connell DD. and concelebrated<br />

by Rev. Fathers A. Callinan. J. O'Shea. P.<br />

Purcell and M. Mifsud. all past pupils of the Preparatory<br />

College. was held on Sunday. March 19th.<br />

Despite the rather windy conditions a large crowd<br />

estimated in excess of1200 people gathered to join with<br />

the celebrants in offering a Thanksgiving Mass for all<br />

who have made the Preparatory College what it is teday.<br />

77


We were very grateful to Brother Parton for moking the<br />

St. Vincent's Boys' Home Band. under the direction of Mr.<br />

S. Mcintosh. available to provide the musical<br />

background for the Mass.<br />

The altar was constructed and set on the Western<br />

slopes of the college grounds overlooking the ovals. fhe<br />

base of the altar was in the form of two semi-trailers<br />

provided by Mr. Lou Arthur Jnr. a member of one of the<br />

Coilege's most generous families throughout its25 years.<br />

The singing of the boys from the Coilege under the<br />

direction of Mr. W. Bottrieil was beautiful and we were<br />

fortunate to have Brother Cauchi. a former teacher at<br />

the College. leading the congregation with his magnificent<br />

voice from the altar. Brother Cauchi was also the<br />

soloist in the chanting of the Responsorial Psalm.<br />

The Gitts of Bread and Wine were brought to the altar<br />

by the Bibby Family who through the long association of<br />

Ian as a teacher at the Coilege and his wife Barbara<br />

who for many years has provided the musical accompaniment<br />

forthe College choir. together with their lovely<br />

family. many of whom have. or are. attending the Preparatory<br />

Coilege. worthily represented the Parade family<br />

in bringing the Gifts to the altar on their behalf.<br />

The Readings were read by Mr. Stan Ogilvie (a former<br />

teacher) and Mr. Frank Russell (currentiy the Speech and<br />

Drama teacher) and the Prayers of the Faithful were<br />

read by Mr. Lou Arthur Jnr. (the son of Mr. Lou Arthur who<br />

was one of the prime instigators in the purchase and<br />

early growth of the coilege). Mrs. Mary Ni9i1 (Foundation<br />

President of the Ladies' Auxiliary). Mr. Phil Ryan (Foundation<br />

President of the Fathers' Association). Brother Parton<br />

(Former Principal of the Coilege) Mr. Rene Stella (Current<br />

President of the Old Paradians Association) and Master<br />

Hans Hatton (present day pupil of the coilege).<br />

78<br />

The scene as depicted that day looking down over<br />

the ovals. which provided a magnificent setting for such<br />

an occasion. was one of serenity. peacefulness and<br />

togetherness. as the Parade family. past and present.<br />

gathered to pray together in order to celebrate the past<br />

25 years in the most fitting way possible.<br />

Our thanks are extended to Rev. Brother Adams who.<br />

despite having just returned from a study trip to Rome.<br />

involved himself untiringly with his support for the Silver<br />

Jubilee Committee and also for his efforts in preparing<br />

the Jubilee Mass Liturgy.<br />

The Committee. under the leadership of its Chairman<br />

Mr. Tony Villanti, would like to thank all who helped and<br />

participated in making the Silver Jubilee celebrations of<br />

our College the success that they undoubtedly were.<br />

FORM TWO GREEN<br />

We found at the beginning of the year that Mr. Ray Fitt<br />

had left us to teach at an Aboriginal Mission in the<br />

Northern Territory. and we wish him every success in his<br />

new work. He would no doubt be pleased to know that it<br />

took two Teachers to replace him! Mr. Sholley became<br />

our Physical Education Teacher and Mr. Sinclair took us<br />

for Art and Craft. The Art room took on a new look when<br />

we painted it (under Mr. Sinclair's guidance) complete<br />

black and the effect was. to say the least. startling. Br.<br />

Clarke. from the Passionist Monastry at Templestowe<br />

later visited us once a week for a Religious Knowledge<br />

period. Otherwise. we found ourselves faced with the<br />

"old" Teachers of 1977.<br />

Amongst the highlights of this year was the New<br />

Games Day held in the first term with the boys from<br />

Bundoora. A thoroughiy enjoyable day was spent by<br />

everyone except our Mothers who had to work overtime<br />

to get the mud off our clothes. The oval proved to be a<br />

little (!) wet for the occasion. and the Teachers fared just<br />

as badly as the students in the conditions.<br />

At the end of Term 2 we had two days of sports electives.Thesewere<br />

arranged by Mr. Sholley who then flew<br />

to Europe for four weeks and left us to it. The electives<br />

proved to be very successful and enjoyable - as was<br />

the trip - and we are looking forward to the next occasion.<br />

We chose between roller skating. bowling. squash<br />

and swimming and spent the morning at one of these<br />

activities under the supervision of Teachers and Parents.<br />

The Jubiiee Mass was held on the oval at the beginning<br />

of the year. The occasion was spoiled to some<br />

extent by the very strong wind. but a large crowd was<br />

present and we took part In the singing of the Mass..<br />

Later. a class Mass was held in the Hall. to be followed<br />

by a Massfor the combined FormsOne and Two.Thelast<br />

was a particularly fine Mass as everyone did his best to<br />

participate as far as possible.<br />

We were visited in the early part of the year by Miss<br />

Rosemary Twomey. a member of the Victoria Police<br />

Force. and for a period of 85 minutes we were treated to<br />

a full and very interesting account of the work done by<br />

our Police Force. We are grateful to Miss Twomey for<br />

giving up her time while on vacation to speak to us.and<br />

her visitwas certainly one of the highlights of the year for<br />

the class.<br />

We fook the usual active part In inter-Schooi sport on<br />

Saturday morning. and the class was well represented<br />

with a total of eighty boys taking part in some form of<br />

representative sport for the College.<br />

The Annual Camp was again at Tallangatta. It was<br />

the first visit there for most of us and the camp was a<br />

memorable one. An extract from a diary kept at the<br />

camp sumsup one day. and gives some insight into the<br />

way the camp was conducted. Our sincere thanks to Mr.<br />

BillO'Halioran and Mr. Greg Dunlop who accompanied<br />

the Teachers to supervise us during the week.<br />

Our thanks are offered to all at Alphingfon who have<br />

assisted in making our stay here so profitable and enjoyable<br />

and we hope that what we have learned will<br />

help us in our first year at Bundoora in 1979.<br />

THURSDAY (extract trom Camp Diary).<br />

A beautiful morning. a white frost. a very quiet house<br />

af 7.30a.m. and 2 "C. After some Herculean effortsby the<br />

supervisors. everyone was more or less awake and<br />

found his way to breakfast. Soon afterwards. beautiful<br />

sunshineand to Dartmouth Dam. There.we saw a film on<br />

the construction of the dam. were given an informative<br />

brochure. and a working model of the dam was<br />

explained to us.then up to the dam itself. a very impressive<br />

and awesome sight. Lunch below the Dartmouth<br />

township - in beautiful sunshine. Vegemite. jam.<br />

peanut buffer. salad. cheese and lettuce. meat and<br />

pickles sandwiches. with fruit and cordial. A visit to a<br />

sawmill on the way home. and the inevitable milk bar at<br />

Mitta Mitta. Back at the Centre. a new determination to<br />

beat the record for the hill run.Thebest known time for a<br />

Parade boy (Damian Brazier. 1976) was 18 minutes.<br />

Stephen Jones (16.10).Dermott Spillane (16.20). David<br />

Jackson (17.20)and Tim Cheesewrighf [17.40)all came<br />

in ahead of the previous record. Some free time. then<br />

tea - braized steak. vegetables etc. - followed by<br />

assembly. Then followed one of the camp highlights. an<br />

Impromptu concert. with the supervisorsas "New Faces"<br />

judges. Top awards went to Dino Lorenzin and Mark<br />

Huglin. both on piano. Some very good comedy<br />

sketches by groups scored well. and Impersonations by<br />

"guest artist" Mark Carrazzo reduced the audience<br />

[and the supervisors)to hysterics.After the concert. some<br />

Ireetime.supper.and bed at11.30p.m. followed. in most<br />

cases. by almost Instantaneaus silence! Alleluial<br />

FORM 2 BLUE<br />

We have enjoyed being the senior boys at Alphingfon<br />

thisyear and we are looking forward to our promotion to<br />

Bundoora. However. we would like to look back on our<br />

experiences during the year.<br />

There were few staff changes and we were able to<br />

quickly settle down to a busy year. We were sad to see<br />

Mr. Fitt go. but we all wish him well In his work with the<br />

aborigines in N.T.Mr. Sholly and Mr. Sinclair have taken<br />

over the P.E.and Art.<br />

Theboys from our room have been very enthusiastic in<br />

the many sports we have - only two boys have not<br />

represented the College in inter-school sport. We were<br />

quite successful at football as many of our class played<br />

important roles in the U/13 and U/14 Grand Finais.<br />

Almost half the class played basketball in teams organised<br />

by MissRooney and Br.Giles and we have had<br />

many representatives in cricket. swimming and athletics.<br />

During the last week of the second ferm. we had<br />

electives for P.E.and sport and we had such a great time<br />

at swimming. squash and ten-pin bowling that we are<br />

looking forward to our next outing.<br />

Another special day was that for roller-skating at Wesf<br />

Heidelberg. We all had our fair share of bruisesand most<br />

of us were able to skate quite well by the end of the<br />

session.II was a great experience.<br />

Our Form 2 Camp was held at Tallangatta. We spent<br />

a very enjoyable week there. travelling around Tallangatta<br />

and Beechworth districts and visiting the historical<br />

museums and monuments. We also visited Dartmouth<br />

Dam. the Hume Weir and the Trout Farm.<br />

Joe Natoli suffered a nasty injury during a footy game<br />

and was taken to hospital. He took some weeks to recover<br />

but he was still able to enjoy the camp.<br />

We had a wonderful day when we invited our counterparts<br />

from Bundoora to share a games day on our<br />

ovals. Fortunately. there was heavy rain the nighf before<br />

and we were able to become acquainted with the mud<br />

at close range. Theteachers joined in and some scores<br />

were settled.<br />

We have had a wonderful time af Alphingfon and<br />

1978has not been an exception. but we must move on.<br />

have a match against us. We won both matches, with<br />

Michael Newell hitting a sixin the B's.Inthe second term<br />

St. Leo's invited us to their school. We played football,<br />

tennis, table-tennis, soccer and basketball. We won all<br />

apart from the soccer,<br />

"Mud, Be In It"<br />

On the sixteenth of June the Bundoora kids came over<br />

and we had a New Games day. The games included<br />

frisbees, Earth Ball, stilts,tug of war and parachuting, If<br />

you had a frisbee you had to have a partner and you<br />

scored as you threw it. There were stiltsto walk on, and<br />

we played laps where we had to siton peoples' laps ina<br />

circle, we nearly broke a record. I think the best thing<br />

was the Earth Ball. It was a big ball about 5 feet tall and<br />

had the Earthpainted on it. The idea was to jump up on<br />

top of it.<br />

Patrick Lorkln<br />

"The West Gate Bridge"<br />

In April our grade went to see the West Gate Bridge.<br />

We were taken into the Administration Office where a<br />

man talked to us about the bridge. We were shown a<br />

$6000 model of the bridge. Thenthe bus took usup onto<br />

the nearly completed bridge. We hod an excellent view<br />

of Melbourne and the surrounding area.<br />

"Form Ones Roller Skating"<br />

On the second last day of the second term both Form<br />

Ones visited the Rollarena In Dougharty Road. Thiswas<br />

quite an event as many of the Form Ones had never<br />

roller skated before, and didn't know anything about the<br />

sport. After putting our boots on, and practising on the<br />

outside carpet. we attempted to skate on the rink. Most<br />

of us clung to the surrounding wall the firsttime around,<br />

and then plucked up enough courage to attempt to<br />

skate properly. After collecting a few bumps and bruises<br />

most of us got the hang of it, and began skating very<br />

well, inciuding many of those who were there for the first<br />

time,<br />

Simon Read<br />

Form I Blue<br />

IISquash"<br />

For Electives on the fifteenth of September, 1978, we<br />

had a choice of swimming, bowling or squash. Twelve<br />

boys chose to play squash. Thirty boys wanted to go<br />

swimming, and thirty-eight boys elected to go bowling,<br />

When the eleven of us turned up for squash, Brother<br />

Adams said to go in. Everyone was eager to go with<br />

friends in the firstfew matches then we played with any<br />

person that was about as good as us at squash. At the<br />

courts they also had a table tennis table which the<br />

people who were waiting for their turn could use,<br />

Andrew LIVYForm I Blue<br />

FORM ONE GREEN<br />

On commencing school this year, we found we had<br />

been placed in FormOne Green with BrotherDuckworth<br />

(for better or worsel) as our Class Master. We also had<br />

two new boys - David Williams and Don Marciano -<br />

who have fitted in very well. Later in the year we gained<br />

another member - Steven Walters. We also lost one of<br />

our class - Graeme "Jobie" Kelly who isoff to America<br />

for a year. We wishJobie all the best and look forward to<br />

renewing old acquaintances with him in the future,<br />

After Primary Classes, where we had mainly one<br />

teacher, we had to get used to many different teachers<br />

under the period system, We also had to cope with<br />

French and Latin (double ugh!) and Science, with<br />

BrotherAdams, which was much more advanced than<br />

our primary work. One break from the "old faces" was<br />

when Brother Clark of the Passionistscame to our ciass<br />

once a week. We believe he thinkswe are the best ciass<br />

he takes, and we think he is a pleasant change. Thanks<br />

for your work with us, Brother.<br />

Among the important duties in the smooth running of<br />

the school isthe job of looking after the bins.Thisused to<br />

be done by the Form Two boys, but this year Form One<br />

Green took on the duty. The leader and organiser is<br />

David Kegele, helped by Nicholas Scully, Simon<br />

Toomey, Tony McNamara, Paul McCarthy and David<br />

Williams. Theseboys have done a fine job in helping to<br />

keep "Australia Beautiful".<br />

Our contribution to the Missionshas been good and at<br />

the time of writing this - our total isa little over $700. We<br />

expect to improve thisby the end of the year. Thismoney<br />

has aiready been used to help Missionwork in India and<br />

New Guinea.<br />

One of the highlights of the year was the school camp<br />

to Swan Hill during the first term. We left Spencer Street<br />

Station on April 23rd and arrived at Swan Hill about 5<br />

hours later. We then travelled by bus to a Scout Camp<br />

situated close to the Murray River, where we chose our<br />

cabins. Among the educational tours, we visited a<br />

wheat farm, a research farm, a dairy - where Paul<br />

Darroch had a slight misunderstanding with a cow. We<br />

also visited the Military Museum and the Sound and Light<br />

exhibition at the Pioneer Settlement (probably the best<br />

of all the tours).ThePaddle Steamer was also interesting<br />

and novel. Later we went to a pheasant farm and an old<br />

homestead, "TynTynder", These were very enjoyable.<br />

On the Friday we rose eariy - cleaned up the camp<br />

and eventually made for the station where we boarded<br />

the train for home, Thanks to Mr. Bibby and Mr. Carter<br />

and also the fathers who supervised usand did so much<br />

to make sure the camp was interesting and enjoyable.<br />

On the sporting side, our ciass had some noteable<br />

sportsmen, Probably the best ruckman in the school is<br />

Kevin Collum, who must be a future League star. He was<br />

helped in the under 13team by David Williams (a great<br />

asset)and many others who did their best for the school.<br />

We also had quite a number of Cross Country runners<br />

including Peter Barnes, Laurence Barker, Martin Heffernan,<br />

Simon Toomey and Jobie Kelly.<br />

In Swimming we had Anthony Martin as our star.<br />

Another was Michael Newell.<br />

Now for the awards in School. The most punctual -<br />

Laurence Barker.The Quietest - Peter Barnes and Don<br />

Marciano, The noisiest - Andrius Lipsysor Paul Dinan or<br />

Paul Culhane - have your choice I The pupil who mislays<br />

pens etc. - Peter Benetti - with some help from?<br />

They boy who sits quietly best - between Tim Wilson<br />

and Phillip Ryan. The best gambler - Jay Hewatt.<br />

Finallya few words about the impression P.P.c.had on<br />

Steven Walters who arrived during the second term. The<br />

boys seem to have been quite friendly and Steven was<br />

helped to settle in by David Williams. Thework has been<br />

a little more difficult but the teachers have been very<br />

helpful. On the whole, Steven found the transition fairly<br />

smooth and has settled in well under difficult conditions.<br />

GRADE 6 BLUE<br />

With many new faces entering 6 Bluefor the firsttime It<br />

would seem that our teacher would hold all the advantage,<br />

before we grew united. Our unity soon grew. but<br />

we never did manage to take over for BrotherGiles was<br />

always one step ahead. Anyway. what an enjoyable<br />

year it was with many exciting things happening in and<br />

out of the classroom which helped us appreciate the<br />

value of education.<br />

It was worth remembering when David Nolan wrote<br />

and produced a play about "David and Goliath" which<br />

we filmed with the video equipment. On many occasionstoo.<br />

our class debates drew some fine oratory skills<br />

from Darren Buckley. Jonathan Ellks. Davin McKelson.<br />

Vincent Hedger and Simon Zebrowski. However.<br />

bananas are still bent despite the oppositions win. We<br />

also have two setsof ever alert twins, so if we say the best<br />

are Peter and Gary Atherton. then the homework prize<br />

goes to Cameron and David Scott. Poor Brother. he<br />

never discovered they swapped places in class. However.<br />

while speaking of acting. nobody equalled our<br />

own "Miss Piggy" of Muppets fame. by Peter Cole. who<br />

provided hoursof clever entertainment with a variety of<br />

imitations of well known characters. He was.always refreshing<br />

atter a sessionof maths or English which were<br />

delightful subjects themselves.<br />

Class singing every Tuesday brought out the best from<br />

Peter Smyth. Mark Leach and Stephen Carmody, well<br />

supported by the rest of the chorus. Bestclassroom jobs<br />

were done by Mark Kilkenny and Jonas L1psyswho were<br />

conscientious in their work. Adriano Pilati was noted for<br />

neat projects, and for neatness in all books Adrian Qulntarelli<br />

and Craig Richards were commendable. Our<br />

best class captain, who was very conscientious, was<br />

Gavin Keogh, who was a tremendous help to Brother<br />

Giles. Our most widely travelled was Tim Heydon who<br />

had to go on an excursion to America just as we finished<br />

a project on that country. Anyway. the restof usenjoyed<br />

many excursions such as visiting the Botanical Gardens<br />

where we studied trees and shrubsfrom many countries.<br />

Some of our notable sportsmen were Grant Males.<br />

Andrew Barbazza. John Doherty and Mark O'Connell in<br />

basketball. The best cricketers were: Chris Bibby. Peter<br />

Jackson and Owen Abrahams. while the champion<br />

footballers were: Matthew Ryan. Bernard Powell and<br />

Clete Blake.<br />

We are looking fOlWard In the third term to our camp<br />

at SilverCreek. which promisesto be exciting. especially<br />

living together away from home.<br />

While the school was away on Camp our class held<br />

the Formula 10 BillyCart Championship which provided<br />

thrills and spills for competitors. Mark Kilkenny was the<br />

1978 champion. finishing first in 14.3 seconds. closely<br />

followed by Clete Blake in 15.0 seconds.<br />

Our most eventful year in 6 Blue has all too quickly<br />

come to an end. but. as we expressed in our Class<br />

Masses. our thanksgiving to God for all He has given to<br />

us. so we face the future confidently with Faith in His<br />

guidance.<br />

GRADE FIVE<br />

Well. there comes a time when little boys cease to pull<br />

the ribbons in little girls' hair - at least in school. Wide<br />

eyes took in the new surroundings with hope - mingled<br />

with a touch of fear and uncertainly.<br />

Alas. there was homework nearly every night - except<br />

on Feastdays and Brother's birthdays - and there<br />

was work in school too. Assignments here. speeches<br />

there. and all sorts of tortures designed to make life<br />

miserable.<br />

Brighter things. however. were soon to come. Our<br />

camp at Shoreham was the highlight of the year. For<br />

both the boys and myself. A valuable lesson was<br />

learned by some on our first beach walk when they used<br />

the ocean as their path instead of the sand Subsequent<br />

chaffing on the rain-ridden return left many straggling<br />

behind carrying their pants. While I was congratulating<br />

myself on the marvels of learning by experience. some<br />

less jubilant mothers were wringing out the day's accumulation<br />

of quicksand. As you can see. a great time<br />

was had by all.<br />

Sport was another plus for the newcomers. The weekly<br />

ration of phys. ed. and sport - and the anticipation of<br />

such - made life in the classroom much less intolerable.<br />

As well. there were at least two - sometimes four -<br />

sporting activities associated with the school through the<br />

year and many boys jumped at the chance to represent<br />

Parade.<br />

86<br />

The best builder of school spirit though was our prayer.<br />

Our class celebrations ofthe Eucharist made us aware of<br />

our oneness as both Christians and Paradians. As the<br />

years pass I hope that both of these identities will grow<br />

from the seeds that have been planted.

For the second year. the Under 14 team finished the<br />

season as runners-up in the competition,<br />

The roster included games against both A division<br />

and B division sides. resulting in some woeful defeats<br />

against the stronger sides. and some hard-earned victories<br />

over the B division teams.<br />

During the season. we were defeated convlncingiy by<br />

SI. Kllda. Preston and Pascoe Vale. Owing to the unavailability<br />

of a ground. we were forced to forfeit to La<br />

Salle, Malvem, Against Preston (2). East Melboume.<br />

Sunbury and Abbotsford. we had comfortable wins. and<br />

this allowed us to play Malvem in the Grand Final. De La<br />

Salle proved much too strong for us and ran out easy<br />

winners by 8 goals.<br />

We are grateful to Mr. George Hogg for his time and<br />

Mark Beers, Donny Flynn and Kevin Collum - and each<br />

contributed magnificently bolh as players ar,-i leaders.<br />

Gomes losf during the year were fa St.Kilda and Presfon,<br />

allhough we also recorded victories against these sides<br />

at our other meetings.<br />

Our season was marked by two highlights. Firstly, the<br />

performance against the then top side of Pascoe Vole,<br />

when with only 15 men, we notched a four goal win; and<br />

secondly, the effort in making the Grand Final. This<br />

game sow us six goals down at quarter time, but with<br />

grit, a never give in altilude and plenty of ability, the<br />

deficit was only seven points at the final bell.<br />

The 13B's won only one game for the year but produced<br />

many players who mode the A side during the<br />

season. Captain was Mark Somers who aport from<br />

being in the best players each week, led the team with<br />

determination and spirit. Although not successful on the<br />

scoreboard, the team certainly developed a slrong<br />

bend and will to win that is more important than just<br />

winning the games. A good nucleus of players was<br />

formed by Bernard Matisi, Vincent Long, Damian<br />

Casamento, Phil Ryan, Bernard Phelan, Tim Wilson, Peter<br />

Caddy and Mathew Neyion who contributed strongly<br />

each week to the team's performance.<br />

All in all, all enjoyable year, and mode even more so<br />

by the wide support of parents. In particular, our Ihanks<br />

to Messrs O'Halioran. Williams, Bowman, Somers,<br />

Newell. Rodgers and Heffernan whose efforts each<br />

week were very much appreciated.


Under 12A<br />

The Under 12A football team complefed a very successful<br />

year by being runners-up fo De La Salle wlfh only<br />

the narrow margin of four points separating the teams in<br />

the Grand Final.Theteam did not play well inthe firsthalf<br />

of the Grand Final but fought back gallantly to make a<br />

very exciting finish.<br />

Our team was well led by two fine players. Peter Dynes<br />

and Mark Elder. both of whom gave a number of inspiring<br />

performances throughout the season. One key feature<br />

of the team was the adaptability of quite a few<br />

players. However. on the back line we were usually best<br />

served by Brian Hartin, Andrew Carrozza, Michael Bottomley,<br />

Gerard Foote, Peter Brennan, Shayne Annett,<br />

and Tim Cabassl. In particular, Brian Hartin'sfine judgement<br />

and clearing kicks often brought him under notice.<br />

Peter Dynes, Peter Brown, Michael Batcheior and Brendan<br />

Griffithsall occupied positions on the centre line on<br />

occasions and usually contributed to our many good<br />

victories.<br />

Throughout the year our ability to kick big totals was<br />

due to an abundance of taient Inattack. Playerssuch as<br />

Clete Blake, Damian Mcinerney, John Doherty, Daniel<br />

ZorzI.and Davin McKelson all combined well as a unit<br />

and In one match kicked twenty-six goals In only sixty<br />

minutes of football. Clete Blake was probably our most<br />

reliabie and constructive player up forward.<br />

Our following division was very strong but perhaps<br />

lacked a little height but certainly nothing in courage<br />

and determination, Mark Elder and Peter Barnes both<br />

had excellent seasons.The other members of this team<br />

within a team were Peter Garland, Adam Smal. and<br />

Rabble Wood as rucks and Bernard Poweli as a clever<br />

second rover.<br />

Congratuiations to all team members and thanks to<br />

fathers such as Messrs Dynes, Eider and Foote who<br />

helped In a variety of ways. Better luck next year!<br />

The Under 12BFootball Team played nine matches, losing<br />

eight before achieving a well earned victory in the<br />

last matched played.<br />

The scoreboard in those first eight matches showed<br />

heavy defeats, but the determined efforts and neversay-die<br />

spirit of the Parade boys, combined with their<br />

sportsmanship, earned the respect and admiration not<br />

only of the Parade parents present, but also of the opposition,<br />

as was stated on four occasions by the opposition<br />

coaches congratulating our boys on their determined<br />

efforts and the manner in which they played the<br />

game.<br />

As the St.Kilda coach stated to the boys, histeam had<br />

the victory on the scoreboard, but the Parade boys had<br />

the moral victory,<br />

Thetremendous team spirit in this Bteam showed itself<br />

in many ways, three exampies of which were as fol-<br />

lows:-<br />

(a) A different boy captained the side each week, His<br />

duty included thanking the opposition at the end of<br />

the match.<br />

(b) The boys voluntarily, on suggestion, rostered themselves,<br />

so that each boy, including the reserves,<br />

played at least three quarters of football each week.<br />

(c) Our sale victory in the last match was achieved by<br />

coming from behind in the last quarter against a<br />

strong wind. Thisvictory was purely a 'B' victory as no<br />

'A' players played.<br />

Based on the notes of the fathers, our best players for<br />

the season were: Peter Jackson, Keith Fell, Andrew Delonna<br />

and Michael TomasonJ.<br />

Our sincere thanks are extended to all who helped us<br />

and officiated at our matches.

Cricket<br />

Under 14 Cricket<br />

In contrast to the teams of 1976and 1977,we fielded a<br />

relatively weak side in the competition this year. As the<br />

season progressed, it was pleasing to see the Improvement<br />

taking place, particularly in our batting, and In<br />

~ch match we compiled quite a good score in the<br />

limited time available. However, the bowling remained<br />

no better than mediocre, and we were unable to dismiss<br />

the opposing teams In most matches. Fielding was a<br />

consistent weakness, and. Inmore than one match cost<br />

us a win, but overall, the season was quite a successful<br />

one.<br />

Under the rules of the competition, It Is unavoidable<br />

that some players may not bat or bowl in each match,<br />

and we thank the weaker players who came along to<br />

every match to help the team, and perhaps went home<br />

disappointed.<br />

We are specially greattul to Mr.Jim Geary. for hishelp<br />

during the season. To Mr. RexSutherland who attended<br />

all matches, and to porents who assisted us with transport<br />

during the season. We also thank Richard Geary<br />

who scored neatly and efficiently every week.<br />

Under 13 Cricket<br />

Captains: A's Mark Beers B'sPeter Bibby.<br />

Firstterm Saturday mornings were kind on sportsmen<br />

this year as conditions were good for cricket. Our two<br />

U/13 teams were thus able to participate to the fullest<br />

and although not enjoying great success in terms of<br />

winning, an enjoyable season was undoubtedly had.<br />

The A's were rather inconsistent in that one week it<br />

would be the batting that failed them and the next week<br />

it would be the bowling. However, Mark Carrazzo, Martin<br />

Heffernan, Danny Flynn, Peter Williams and Peter<br />

O'Connell showed they have the ability to become<br />

batsmen of high calibre. Of the bowlers, Peter Caddy<br />

has great potential whilst Paul Fahey, Mark Beersand<br />

Paul Street returned excellent figures In one or two<br />

games.<br />

Our Bteam had a disappointing season In relation to<br />

winning but were definitely the most enthusiastic and<br />

determined side in the competition. Led by Peter Bibby<br />

and ably supported by his lieutenants - MessrsRyan<br />

and Rodgers, the B'swere feared by all others for their<br />

fierce fielding and quick repartee. Ofhers to contribute<br />

with strong performances were Damian Moore, Paul<br />

Murphy, Leigh Bowman, Brendan Evans and Mark<br />

Treppo. Lets hope this spirit continues in P.P.c. sport.<br />

Our thanks go porticularly to Mr, Rodgers for his untiring<br />

efforts in transporting, umpiring and generally managing<br />

a very happy and amiable team.<br />

Under 12A team lost only two matches - both of which<br />

were very close and exciting finishes,Theboys achieved<br />

their fine resultsby giving a very even exhibition of all the<br />

necessary skillsof cricket - no one feature of their play<br />

was outstanding, In batting we exhibited good depth as<br />

most team members were capable of scoring useful<br />

nuns,In the main our most consistent nun-getters were<br />

Peter Barnes, Clete Blake, Andrew Barbazza, David<br />

Kegele, David McKelson and Brian Hartin.<br />

Our fielding was generally of a high standard with<br />

some excellent stopping, catching and throwing from<br />

David Kegele, Paul Dinan, Des Mackay and Andrew<br />

Carrazzo. Captain Peter Bames assisted our bowlers<br />

greatly with his quick reflexes behind the stumps where<br />

he figured in a number of dismissals.In bowling the new<br />

ball was usually shared between Clete Blake and Brian<br />

Hartin both of whom, on their day, were fine performers,<br />

Much of the slower bowling was done by two very accurate<br />

bowlers, David Dober and Paul Dinan. At times<br />

these front line bowlers were supported by the everwilling<br />

Andrew Carrazzo and David McKelson.<br />

Perhaps the most memorable aspect of the season<br />

was the excellent way in which the boys behaved,<br />

especially in adversity, in one match where justice did<br />

not favour us.<br />

Under 12B Cricket<br />

The Under 12BCricket Team played four matches,<br />

three of which we lost and the other was washed out<br />

before we were able to bat.<br />

Despite a definite tendency to drop our catches, the<br />

team performed creditably, as evidenced by the<br />

following scores:-<br />

6/61 v. 51.Kilda 51B9<br />

v, Sunbury 2/75 [washed out)<br />

7/48 v, Preston 6/104<br />

6/56 v, Malvern 6171<br />

Our main aim was to see that every boy in the team<br />

had a bat each week, thus resulting in many eOfly retirements.<br />

Also, we endeavoured to give as many boys<br />

as possible a bowl. which resulted in many no balls and<br />

wides.<br />

So,although we lost, each boy participated, which is<br />

what is tnuly meant by being part of a school cricket<br />

"team",<br />

Bestperformances by batsmen were;-<br />

Bernard Powell 30 retired v. Sf. Klldo<br />

Damien Mcinerney 14 v. Preston<br />

Chris Bibby 13 v. Malvern<br />

and by bowlers;-<br />

Damlen Mcinerney 3/13 v. Malvem & 3/22 v. Preston<br />

Peter Jackson 2/9 v. Preston<br />

Again our sincere thanks to the parents who supported<br />

us and helped us with transport, umpiring and<br />

scoring.<br />

Under 12A Cricket<br />

Although nominated as Under 12A and Under 12B<br />

teams, the boys in thisage group were divided evenly in<br />

ability. By playing two such even sides we probably<br />

spoilt our chances of a premiership. What was called the<br />

Basketball<br />

Over seventy boys represented the college this year in<br />

junior basketball, with teams In two competitions, the<br />

C.Y.M.S. and the Junior Schools. Up to the end of the<br />

second term six teams had played In Grand Finals, resulting<br />

In three premierships.<br />

We performed particularly well In the second term<br />

with the Under 12's runner's-up, 12-19, and our Under 14's<br />

winning 45-42, with best piayers Barry McBrearty, David<br />

Dober, Paul Murphy and Andrlus Lipsys. The Under 16B<br />

Grand Final was a heart-stopper. After finishing third on<br />

the ladder, Parade met Cathedral College In a thrilling<br />

final. Extra time was played to decide this match which<br />

we won 43-41. Best players were John Dundovich, who<br />

has an amazing spring, Damlen Charies, Kevin Meath<br />

and Darren Wharton. We have entered eight teams for<br />

the third term and expect more success.<br />

Other leading members were, Grant Males, Andrew<br />

Barbazza, Mark Csar and David Jones, Under 12.<br />

Anthony Pertlle, Paul McCarthy, Peter Benetti. Peter<br />

Barnes and Brendan Griffiths, Under 13 and 14.<br />

Dino Lorenzin, Greg Kissane, Stephen Jones and Phiilip<br />

Hyde. Under 15 and 16.<br />

Thank you to the parents who drove their sons to the<br />

stadium and who scored matches, especially Mrs. Csar,<br />

Mrs. Males and Mr. Meath.<br />

commenced training, with Mr, Bibby Inspiring the boys to<br />

do their best.<br />

We trained four days a week and when we went to<br />

Parade Bundoora to race against their Cross Country<br />

runners we Were very successful. Then, after about five<br />

weeks of hard training, we entered into the C.S,S, A<br />

carnival which was held at Royal Parle We were quite<br />

successful. taking out the Under 12, Under 13 and Under<br />

14 shields and coming a good third In the Under 15's,<br />

The next step was the A.C.C, where our success faded<br />

away and we came home empty-handed.<br />

The best runners during the Season were;<br />

Under 15 - S, Jones, J, Barker,<br />

Tennis<br />

After several years of great interest in tennis. there has<br />

been a noticeable drop in the enthusiasm of players this<br />

year.<br />

Our numbers in the coaching classes have been<br />

down. and the interest in practising has been lacking.<br />

Due to this lack. and other causes. Parade Preparatory<br />

withdrew from the Junior VCLTA Competitions after the<br />

first term. It Is hoped that in the Mure. we will again take<br />

part in this fine competition; because. unless tennis<br />

players take part regularly in competition. they will not<br />

improve.<br />

Our thanks to our coaches - Mr. John Reddock and<br />

Mr. Jim Reddock - for the fine work they do with our<br />

boys. Thanks also to those parents who assisted so well<br />

with transport and supervision during the first term competitions.<br />
