FORM 1 BLUE "Visit to Sf. Leo's, Box Hili" Inthe firstterm we invited the St.Leo'scricket teams to have a match against us. We won both matches, with Michael Newell hitting a sixin the B's.Inthe second term St. Leo's invited us to their school. We played football, tennis, table-tennis, soccer and basketball. We won all apart from the soccer, J Rodgers Form I Blue "Mud, Be In It" On the sixteenth of June the Bundoora kids came over and we had a New Games day. The games included frisbees, Earth Ball, stilts,tug of war and parachuting, If you had a frisbee you had to have a partner and you scored as you threw it. There were stiltsto walk on, and we played laps where we had to siton peoples' laps ina circle, we nearly broke a record. I think the best thing was the Earth Ball. It was a big ball about 5 feet tall and had the Earthpainted on it. The idea was to jump up on top of it. Patrick Lorkln Form I Blue "The West Gate Bridge" In April our grade went to see the West Gate Bridge. We were taken into the Administration Office where a man talked to us about the bridge. We were shown a $6000 model of the bridge. Thenthe bus took usup onto the nearly completed bridge. We hod an excellent view of Melbourne and the surrounding area. D Ryan Form I Blue "Form Ones Roller Skating" On the second last day of the second term both Form Ones visited the Rollarena In Dougharty Road. Thiswas quite an event as many of the Form Ones had never roller skated before, and didn't know anything about the sport. After putting our boots on, and practising on the outside carpet. we attempted to skate on the rink. Most of us clung to the surrounding wall the firsttime around, and then plucked up enough courage to attempt to skate properly. After collecting a few bumps and bruises most of us got the hang of it, and began skating very well, inciuding many of those who were there for the first time, Simon Read Form I Blue IISquash" For Electives on the fifteenth of September, 1978, we had a choice of swimming, bowling or squash. Twelve boys chose to play squash. Thirty boys wanted to go swimming, and thirty-eight boys elected to go bowling, When the eleven of us turned up for squash, Brother Adams said to go in. Everyone was eager to go with friends in the firstfew matches then we played with any person that was about as good as us at squash. At the courts they also had a table tennis table which the people who were waiting for their turn could use, Andrew LIVYForm I Blue FORM ONE GREEN On commencing school this year, we found we had been placed in FormOne Green with BrotherDuckworth (for better or worsel) as our Class Master. We also had two new boys - David Williams and Don Marciano - who have fitted in very well. Later in the year we gained another member - Steven Walters. We also lost one of our class - Graeme "Jobie" Kelly who isoff to America for a year. We wishJobie all the best and look forward to renewing old acquaintances with him in the future, After Primary Classes, where we had mainly one teacher, we had to get used to many different teachers under the period system, We also had to cope with French and Latin (double ugh!) and Science, with BrotherAdams, which was much more advanced than our primary work. One break from the "old faces" was when Brother Clark of the Passionistscame to our ciass once a week. We believe he thinkswe are the best ciass he takes, and we think he is a pleasant change. Thanks for your work with us, Brother. Among the important duties in the smooth running of the school isthe job of looking after the bins.Thisused to be done by the Form Two boys, but this year Form One Green took on the duty. The leader and organiser is David Kegele, helped by Nicholas Scully, Simon Toomey, Tony McNamara, Paul McCarthy and David Williams. Theseboys have done a fine job in helping to keep "Australia Beautiful". Our contribution to the Missionshas been good and at the time of writing this - our total isa little over $700. We expect to improve thisby the end of the year. Thismoney has aiready been used to help Missionwork in India and New Guinea. One of the highlights of the year was the school camp to Swan Hill during the first term. We left Spencer Street Station on April 23rd and arrived at Swan Hill about 5 hours later. We then travelled by bus to a Scout Camp situated close to the Murray River, where we chose our cabins. Among the educational tours, we visited a wheat farm, a research farm, a dairy - where Paul Darroch had a slight misunderstanding with a cow. We also visited the Military Museum and the Sound and Light exhibition at the Pioneer Settlement (probably the best of all the tours).ThePaddle Steamer was also interesting and novel. Later we went to a pheasant farm and an old homestead, "TynTynder", These were very enjoyable. On the Friday we rose eariy - cleaned up the camp and eventually made for the station where we boarded the train for home, Thanks to Mr. Bibby and Mr. Carter and also the fathers who supervised usand did so much to make sure the camp was interesting and enjoyable. On the sporting side, our ciass had some noteable sportsmen, Probably the best ruckman in the school is Kevin Collum, who must be a future League star. He was helped in the under 13team by David Williams (a great asset)and many others who did their best for the school. We also had quite a number of Cross Country runners including Peter Barnes, Laurence Barker, Martin Heffernan, Simon Toomey and Jobie Kelly. In Swimming we had Anthony Martin as our star. Another was Michael Newell. Now for the awards in School. The most punctual - Laurence Barker.The Quietest - Peter Barnes and Don Marciano, The noisiest - Andrius Lipsysor Paul Dinan or Paul Culhane - have your choice I The pupil who mislays pens etc. - Peter Benetti - with some help from? They boy who sits quietly best - between Tim Wilson and Phillip Ryan. The best gambler - Jay Hewatt. Finallya few words about the impression P.P.c.had on Steven Walters who arrived during the second term. The boys seem to have been quite friendly and Steven was helped to settle in by David Williams. Thework has been a little more difficult but the teachers have been very helpful. On the whole, Steven found the transition fairly smooth and has settled in well under difficult conditions.
