Well, we did it, the Major Rcnnic trophy is once more back to its rightful
owner and boy does it feel good. 1995's April Fools Day is one I'm not
going to lorget for a long time, neither will the rest of the crew.
It is said that the atmosphere of the crowd at the Head of the River rivals
that of any other major sporting event. If this is true (which I'm sure it is)
then the atmosphere in the crew area would have to be likened to that of the
Australian Rugby team before playing New Zealand, the air thick with
anticipation, the nerves tingling, the stomach in knots and the body electric.
At 12.55 p.m. we took to the water, our minds and bodies ready for the one
'event we'd been training 10 months for. The crew rowed past the crowd
oblivious to the surrounding mayhem, instead settling into our race warm
up. On arrival at the starting line we were informed of our 2nd VIll's success
in the previous race, empty words to us if we didn't perform.
With minds set in the "I'll kill myself to win this trophy" the race started,
Grammar and Newington taking a few metres from us in the first 20 strokes
or so. The race was so far going to plan, we dropped the rate and broke into
our race stride which had served us well over the season. We slowly pulled
up to Grammar and passed them, their race more or less over as they began to
fall off the pace with Kings. It was now a two horse race - Shore and
Newington. Staying with our race rhythm we took half a boot length off the
Newington crew and remained like this for the next 600m. With 1000m
gone Caner called us into our first effort, the crew responded like never before
and in 20 strokes we took another three quarters of a length on our
opposition. Settling back into our race rhythm we maintained our lead for
the next 400m. At this time Newington began catching us coming to within
hail a length of taking the lead. Carter now called for our next effort which
halted the Newington charge and began our run up the finishing straight.
With 300m to go we pushed the rate up and dug deep to find that extra
something which would keep us going for the next 60 seconds. Hearing the
crowd roar as we came into the finishing stages of the race urged us on and
we crossed the line in first place, one and a half lengths ahead of Newington.
Thanks must go to our coach, Mr. Uebergang, who believed in us and in
turn had us believe in him.

2ND YHI
Shore 2nd VIII:
E.D.A. Sturrock (Bow); N.F.O. Smith (2);
D.A. Nichols (3); M.A.T. Hanel (4); M.R. Irvine (5); J.T.
Wood (6); M.J. Davis (7); S.M. Lyne (Stroke); W.R. Shirlaw
(C ox)
The 2nd VIIJ's race was a closely fought contest, rowed into a changing
head breeze. Knowing the value of rhythm over the mile and a half the crew
quickly settled into its own familiar race plan that ensured the constant speed
of their Empacher boat through the middle of the race. An early lead was
maintained throughout the race. A late challenge by strong crews from Kings
and Riverview was confidently overcome and a satisfying victory was
achieved.

1ST IV
Shore 1st IV:
R.M. Cook (Bow); C.M.W. Northam (2);
B.J.B. McMaster (3); M.P. Considine (Stroke); P.J.R. Harvey
(Co x)
Undefeated by any crew except the Under 18 Western Australian State
Junior Four, hopes were high for a successful retention of the Yaralla Cup in
its 100th year.
The 1st IV qualified after winning its heat in the fastest time of all the
Fours, beating crews who simply stopped trying in order to save themselves
for the repechage.
A brief, though inspirational talk from Mr. Miller had us focussed on the
task at hand. Then after months of training, it was time to go.
We picked up our boat, the bow-coxed 'J.C. Beattie', placed it on the water
and rowed up to the start of one of the most exciting events in our lives. The
wind at the starting line picked up and blew over the bow and into the boat.
An average start, saw us come out equal with the larger St. Joseph's crew
with half a length back to Sydney High with St. 'Contagious' Ignatius
(whose rowing shed had suffered an outbreak of German Measles earlier in the
season) going further and further away behind us with every stroke.
This is how the race really remained for the Iirst 1000 of the 1601m
course. At this point, the crew heard the crowds and the crew found that little
bit extra. Over the remaining distance the Shore crew rocketed away,
showing the ability which had been displayed throughout the season, to win
by 6.1 seconds or about two lengths over the Sydney High School with
Joey's third by another 0.58. This was particularly pleasing to the bow of
the crew after his defeat by Joey's 2nd IV in the Head of the River in 1994.
The crew would like to thank our mentor, Mr. Miller, for his dedication to
the crew. His expenditure of time, mental commitment and sharing of
experiences made us the fastest GPS Four. Also Mr. Shirlaw for his
assistance in making our crew technically superior and for maintaining our
craft in raceworthy condition. Finally, the throng of Shore boys, parents,
old boys and others whose support made a great day for Shore rowing and the
school.

2ND IV
Shore 2nd IV: S.J. Walker (Bow); A.R. McGlynn (2); A.A.
Keeling (3); A.C. Welsh (Stroke); C.J. Dunn (Cox)
It was finally upon us after months of non-stop, gruelling training. The
preparation leading up to the event had gone well. After a light paddle over
the course in the moming we were all confident of being able to row to our
best in the afternoon. Only one of us had competed in the Head of the River
before.
We got away from the start perfectly, which saw us take the lead within a
matter of seconds. We settled the rating to about 33 and pulled away from
Joeys and Grammar with every stroke but couldn't lose Kings who kept
lighting back, just over a length behind us. Everything that we had been
working on for all those months had come together perfectly. With about
200 metres to go Kings began to apply the pressure and were coming at us
strongly. It was a fight to the finish with Kings just getting there, 0.9 of a
second ahead of us. The winning time was 5.30 which was the fastest on the
day by 8 seconds.
Credit must be given to Mr. Miller, who spent many hours and put much
effort towards getting us to achieve our full potential. It was an enjoyable
season and we all have much to be proud of.
A.C. Welsh
3RD IV
Shore 3rd IV:
R.C. Brett (Bow); J.A. Campbell (2); E.R.
Baker (3); G.R. Childs (Stroke); M.G. Chapman (Cox)
The 1994/95 season was well enjoyed by all boys of the 3rd IV.
All the regattas leading up to the main race were treated as training rows
but the crew always had one aim, to win.
After the GPS heats, all boys felt the tension beginning to build up,
making them more determined to win , for themselves and the school.
On the big day all the boys were trying hard to keep their minds on the
job and with one hour to go it was time to get ready.
We were talked through the race by Mr. 0 wynn-Jones and were prepared
for any obstacle in our path towards victory.
Sitting at the start the guys were ready, and when the gun went we flew
out of the blocks. We gained a small lead and slowly but surely increased it
and with 500 to go we had three quarters of a length. Hearing the crowd, Ed
Baker yelled "Now" and we lifted the rating and took the Playfair over the line
for a strong victory.
The whole crew would like to thank the crowd for urging them on for an
excellent race and the coach Mr. Gwynn-Jones for doing a great job.
G.R. Childs
4TH IV
A.B. Carter (Bow); A.S. Nicholls (2); J.J.M.
Shore 4th IV:
Marsh (3); S.G. l'ourle (Stroke; D.C. Dunlop (Cox)
Arnving at the Nepean River we would be greeted by perfect rowing
conditions. Members of the crew began to prepare for the final assault the
GPS 4th IV Head of the River. Rowing up to the line would be a very
nerving experience. The Shore crowd was very supportive as we rowed past.
This built up our determination and will to win. Sooner or later the crews
got set and the gun fired. Shore got off to what was described as a flyer of a
start. Heading into the first 600m we would hold a length lead over Kings.
Riverview and St. Joseph's fought amongst each other for the minor placings
but out in front the battle was between Kings and Shore. Approaching the
crowd Shore would hold a vital length lead over Kings. Our position was
strong, but the race was not over. Kings made a charge and we would soon
respond to this by digging deep into the reserves, and increasing the lead to a
length and a half. Crossing the line in 1st place created a feeling of relief and
joy. The 4th IV had a very successful season remaining undefeated.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Guys and Dolls, Saturday, March 25th:
Was is more cheesecake than strudel, or the other way around?
Gu.*v ,om Doux
(Musical Triumph#2)
Saturday, 25th March, 1995
It begins with a crash of cymbals.
The curtain rises, revealing the deep, but empty stage. Slides flash
American 'SOs legends: Marilyn Monroe, Coca-Cola, and finally Guys and Dolls
A Musical Fable of Broadway.
The screen disappears, and Broadway descends from on high. The audience
gapes; the scale is stupendous, the professionalism superb. We've Never
Seen Anything Like It.
An assortment of guys and dolls drift on and off the stage. Newspapers
are sold on a street corner. A photographer shoots happy-snaps of a Texan
sightseer. Pockets are picked. A Mission Band "follows the fold". This is
Runyonland, the essence of Broadway, the heart of the Musical.
The production itself, a showcase of talent from Abbotsleigh, Monte St.
Angelo, Ravenswood, North Sydney Girls' High, PLC, Wenona and, of
course Shore, is based on the ideas and characters of Damon Runyon, author
of a series of short stories created along the 'guys and dolls" theme. The
events that unfold in his posthumously produced "Idyll of Sarah Brown",
delightful as they are moving, will be remembered by Shore not only as
those that "broke-in the Smith Auditorium", but as also a truly remarkable
achievement on the parts of both the Drama and the Music Departments.
With the opening number, "Fugue for Tinhorns", we encounter NicelyNicely Johnson and Benny South Street, stooges of the propnetor of "the
oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York", Nathan
Detroit. Despite some initial problems in synchronising the tempo of this
first item with the orchestra, it was a sound performance with vocal soloist
work (Angus Booth. Aaron Cornish and David Fitzhardinge) of a high
standard. Indeed, individual vocalists were without doubt stronger than I have
seen in most other school productions, and were not characterised by the
almost expected "obviously struggling" performer.
This was especially true of the female lines, provocatively (or "politically
incorrectly", as someone rather thoughtlessly commented) led by Tori
Musselt as Adelaide. Not only did she maintain, perfectly, the depth of
character - the voice, and the mannerisms of a Broadway show-girl (with a
psychosomatic cold), but also made herself heard, clearly and earnestly, above
an often overpowering orchestra.
The Hot Box girls, dressed (and undressed - "Take Back Your Mink") by
Anne Felton and David Patrick, were the apex of both costume choice and
choreography. Particularly in John Mullins' "movement" sections, where
some of the boys were found lacking, the "Dolls" shone with a tightness of
motion characterised by a pleasing absence of self-consciousness.
The Guys showed what they were capable of in the Save-a-Soul Mission
scene, with Angus Booth's "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat". In a senes
of movements involving an intertwining of arms, legs, chairs and heads I
would not have thought possible, they made for what was one of the most
popular scenes in the entire show.
Peter Butchatsky and Nick Townend were other excellent castings. While
Nick portrayed the flustered, and at times desperate Nathan Detroit, Peter's
"Sky" (bets higher, and always wins) Masterson was almost without
exception cool, calm and collected.
In the minor roles, Phillip Kimpton as Broadway Drunk and Nick Pickard
as Big Jule were responsible for some of the funniest moments in the entire
production. Phillip, in morning suit (top hat and all), assuming the unique
appearance of composed drunkenness, had the audience in stiches. Among
Nick's most characteristic lines, "I want to shoot crap" was the most
memorable, employing what can only described as a GodfatherSchwarzenegger voice technique that couldn't have been better done.
Acting to one side, we should remember that this is a Musical, and that
musicians played what were perhaps the most continuous roles in the whole
production. Led by Robert Fox, the orchestra and singers did a fantastic team
job in making the musical side of things come into place. Music is at the
heart of this show, and when the audience leaves the foyer humming all your
tunes, you know you've succeeded,
Michael Lewarne and Michael Haagensen's stunningly expansive set was
the one thing that could not have been achieved in the old War Memorial
Hall. The swiftness with which scenes were changed using the new fly-tower
is like nothing we've ever seen at Shore before, especially considering the
ambitious design. Gone áië the days of the five-minute-long periods of
darkness (reminiscent of that never-forgotten Opera House Concert).

Shore Weekly Record
One of the most innovative aspects of Chris Reynolds and Graham
Lewame's direction was the portrayal of the "dream sequence resulting from
Sarah Brown (Maru Lush) and Adelaide's discussion of what their husbandsto-bc will be like at the household chores. In spotlights on either side of the
auditorium, Nick Townend and Peter Butchatsky hold mixing bowls and
frying pans aloft. And their laces are expressions of pure bliss.
This is the beginning of a new era in Music and Drama at this school.
Anyone could have told you that, on the day the Centenary Building was
opened. But its not just an Auditorium, impressive fly-tower facilities, and a
fantastic orchestra pit. Here, we have a unique range of talent from the
dramatic to the musical, the artful to the technical. Everyone involved (well
over a hundred individuals, directly) deserves a great big Well Done. And
probably a three-week vacation as well.

BASKETBALL REFEREEING
At the conclusion of the basketball season I would like to extend my
thanks to all basketballers from the Under 15, Under 16, and Open sides who
refereed games this season. While most players can expect to be appointed to
at least one or two games over the season, some choose to do more, and
some are asked to do more because of their refereeing skill. Firsts, Seconds
and 16A players do the bulk of the refereeing. Referees from the Open age
group who have received compliments for their high standard of refereeing
are: Andrew Hawkins, Nick Hudson, Phil Orchard, Greg Gordon and Matt
Harmer. From the Under 16s; Nick Tonkin, Alex Hulme and Charlie GowGates have all done well and Charlie handled the majority of 16A games (and
some vocal opposition coaches) with great maturity. He refereed more games
than any other boy this season. From the Under 15s Mike Hudson, David
Ibels and Ben Pride performed especially well. Thanks to all who refereed
uncomplainingly over the season, and particularly to those who stepped in on
Saturday morning to cover for an absentee.

TIPS
Early Cars (629.222 Dat) is a book about early cars, how they were
made and how they ran. As well as the cars themselves, there are biographies
of some of the earliest designers whose names were to become famous in the
present time. Many different types of engines of the early twentieth century
are explained. It would also come in handy for those First Formers doing a D
& T assignment on the history of cars.
Fighting Jets (358.4183 Wal) is a history of jet warplanes from 1939,
just prior to the outbreak of World War II, to lighter jets developed in the mid
eighties. It is a book filled with photos and diagrams of many of the better
known planes and explains different planes' roles in various wars. There are
accounts and stories told by pilots in and Out of war, making the book
interesting reading. Like Early Cars, this book should prove handy for First
Formers.
M.Y.T.H. Inc. in Action (F Asp) is a humorous story about an
army that is being run by two incompetent sergeants while their general is
away. This light-hearted fantasy by Robert Asprm is one of six other MYTH
books: a series to take very, very seriously!?

For skill and humour it would be hard to find a more entertaining group
of actors than the 'Bell Shakespeare Company' which performed for lind Form
on Monday the 20th of March in the Playfair Hall. The play was A
Midsummer Night's Dream starring Shakespeare's first comic actor 'Bottom
who played one of two lovers who were separated by a wall and died a tragic
death in the end.
In all, this spectacular, although rather trivial performance, left a superb
impression on the lInd Form students.

DEBATING
Read this carefully! There is very important information contained in
these simple paragraphs!
This is the last opportunity br us to remind you about Debating Day at
the Boatshed on the first Saturday of 'Ferm tI, 29th April. The day
commences at 10(X) a.m. with coaching sessions, including voice coaching
from Debra Furness, intensive senior coaching from our own Richard Holderi,
and lessons in method from the school's debating coaches. Girls from
SCECGS Redlands, Rosevilte College and Abbotiseigh will join us, and
after lunch there will be demonstration debates. Parents are invited to join us
for lunch, epecialty if they can burn things on a barbecue, but it may be an
idea for them to bring some extra delicacies for themselves; students will be
provided with basic sausages, salads and rolls. The cost for all this is only
$10 and we need to know who will be attending as soon as possible,
although latecomers will not be turned away.
The next vital date is FRIDAY 5TH MAY, when our traditional debate
against St. Aloysius will be held AT SHORE. Then on Friday 12th May we
will be hosting Round 5 of the ISDA competition, when our rivals will be
St. Ignatius.
Last Wednesday saw the Shore Commonwealth Bank team (R. Old, H.
Esplin, A. Dorney) debating in the first round of the competition. They had
a convincing win over Stella Mans, from Manly, affirming "That we need a
year of tolerance". The second round will be held early next term, at a date to
be advised.
Last Friday Round 4 of the ISDA, against Wenona , was a great night for
Wenona if not so great for Shore. However, our Year 7 and Year 10 teams
won, and thus remain unbeaten so fan.

ATHLETICS CAMP - 1995
The Tuesday after the Easter weekend, the Shore Track and Field squad
came prepared to burn off some excess Easter indulgences in a week of
training and mental preparation for the forthcoming GPS season. The camp
used the facilities at both the Sydney International Athletics Centre,
Northbridge and the School. The training schedule was tight and involved a
fair bit of travelling and thanks must go to Mr. Gwynn-Jones for being able
to fit in such a variety of activities over a short period of time.
About 60 Shore boys and 17 girls from Ravenswood and Kincoppal
attended the camp. Having the girls there once again gave many of the boys
some added inspiration. The squad travelled to Homebush on the Tuesday for
a warm up and a series of time trials over varied distances. The squad then
broke up for some specific training. Our morning efforts were rewarded with
having to run the dreaded 'Beep Test' in the afternoon, which tested our
aerobic fitness levels. We then moved to the Playfair for a lecture on food
and nutrition given by Helen O'Conner, a leading nutritionist who works
with Olympic athletes.
Wednesday and Thursday became progressively harder as we built up to a
peak within the camp. Wednesday consisted of specific training at
Northbridge followed by a demanding session back in the pool. Thursday
provided yet another hectic day with videoing at Homebush. It was clear that
some, who'll remain nameless, fancied themselves on the screen posing at
every opportunity and even trying to attract the attention of the cameraman,
Harry Broos, every time they performed.
It was now time to show our aerobics skills at Frog For Fitness in North
Sydney. However embarrassing it was, we soon realised just how demanding
an aerobics class can be. Our energetic instructor, Vicki, never let up. A
break was in order as we headed back to School for an important relaxation
and visualisation session. We learnt that there is not only a physical side to
competing, but it is equally important to be prepared mentally as well. We
were also introduced to some visualisation techniques.
The final two days consisted of some video analysis and specific training
at Homebush and Northbridge. The video provided many laughs, but proved
to be invaluable as a training aid showing strengths and weaknesses in our
style and technique. We were able to see exactly what our coaches were
talking about.
Many thanks to all of the coaches who helped out by giving up their time
and effort to try and maximise each athlete's potential. Special thanks to Mr.
Gwynn-Jones for his organisation and dedication as indicated by coming
straight from hospital to training at Northbridge on the Saturday. A great
week was had by all with each athlete gaining personal benefits which they'll
take with them for the future.

ATHLETICS REPORT. SATURDAY, 29TH APRIL 1995
Last Saturday's carnival was a good chance to brush off the cobwebs and
see just how much improvement there had been since the school carnival and
the holiday training camp. The day was hot, with a blue sky and little wind
to hinder any performances. The only complaint was the race caller and
announcer having the volume turned up several hundred decibels too high.
The early morning saw all our field athletes compete. In the Under 13
high jump, Peter Farrow won it with a leap of 1.50m. Tom Roberts ran a
great 800m only to be beaten at the post.
Our long jumpers also jumped with confidence, Robbie Tall jumping
4.78m in the U13s. Woody Maslin achieved a personal best of 5.70m in the
U15 and Drew Woodhouse jumped a big 5.70m in the U16 event. The Under
17 long jump saw Angus Mason Out jump Alex Judge by 2cm with a leap of
5.76m.
Other top performances were Callum MacLeod winning the Open 3000m
in 9:15.0 minutes, Luke McSpeerin winning his 800m and 1500m, Rob
Knox ran well winning both his U16 lOOm and 200m, Richard Macready
came second in the U16 high jump with a jump of 1.80m, new boy Aaron
Marshall-Macormack ran a great Under 17 1500m to win and Andrew Pym
won both the open lOOm and 200m.
Overall, there were many good performances on the slow grass track at
Riverview. This is a promising sign for future meets on tartan. This week's
meet is at the SIAC, Homebush and the squad would appreciate the support
from the school community.

NEWS FROM THE MUSIC SCHOOL
A brief look at the paragraphs that follow will give some indication of the
vast amount of musical activity that has been planned for Term II.
1995 Subscription Concerts
Following the success of last years inaugural concerts, a series of three
events featuring the very best Australian artists has been scheduled for
1995.
The Australian Chamber Orchestra returns on June 9, this time
augmented with brass and percussion, to present a programme of works by
CPE Bach, Mendelssohn, and Haydn, and a performance of the Hummel
piano concerto by an international pianist.
On June 16, the Sydney Youth Orchestra performs a popular family
programme which features Star Wars, the famous Planets Suite by Gustav
Hoist, and a concerto featuring the winner of the 1995 Sydney Youth
Orchestra Concerto Competition. This dynamic group, enhanced to 100 in
number for the performance of these big works, has been received with
enthusiastic acclaim internationally, and is regarded as Australia's most
exciting and exuberant orchestra.
The Sydney Allstars return on July 28 for what is sure to be another
sellout concert, this time featuring two jazz legends: Kerrie Biddell and
guitarist George Golla.
Booking Forms with full details are included with this issue of the SWR.
If you subscribe to all three concerts you save $10 per seat.
Music Staff Concert - May 17 - Cancelled
This concert has been condensed into the Headmaster's Selection
Concert. (See below).
Headmaster's Selection Variety Concert - May 31
A special event which will feature musicians from various parts of the
Shore community, including Old Boys, top musicians from the School,
members of staff, and the Centenary Choir. Admission is free.
Term LI Concert - June 21

Visiting Performances
A diverse programme of visiting performers has been lined up to perform
for various Forms. These include a return visit by the sensational 60s Mania,

the U.S.. visit the School.

Following the popularity of this activity in the Preparatory School over
many years, movement classes are now available to Form I boys, conducted
by Ms Susan Sperber. Classes are held weekly before school, and
performances with full costuming and staging will be given at vanous
concerts during the year. Boys interested in being involved in future musical
productions such as Guys and Dolls will find that the experience gained in
these classes will enhance their chances of gaining parts. Those interested in
enrolling should contact the Music Secretary, Mrs Wentzel, for further
information.
Outstanding Achievement
Albert Yung (Form Ill) achieved a High Distinction in his Eighth Grade
Violin AMEB examination last Saturday. This is the highest grading
possible, and is awarded for 'outstanding performance in every section".
Congratulations!
CADET BAND MARCHES ON ANZAC DAY
The Cadet Band served with distinction for the sixtenth year running at
the Anzac Day march in Sydney.
The Band, led by Drum Major CUO Toby Mendl, marched the circuit
twice, firstly for its newly affiliated unit, the 2/1 Anti-Aircraft Regiment,
and secondly for the Vietnam Veterans. The 2/I AA Regiment contains
several Shore Old Boys, and they were highly impressed by the spectacular
sound and high level of drill and deportment displayed by the Band.

of excellent quality for Mothers' Day at the same price as last year -$5.50 for

DEBATING DAY
The second last day of April saw the gathering of the school's debaters at
the boatshed for the annual Shore Debating day. After a warm welcome from
the Debating Captain, Nick Townend, the group of about 50 boys was
divided into year groupings for coaching. Mr. Clarke, Mrs. Valiance, Mr.
Patrick, Mr. Perrin and Mr. Archer all led discussion groups on various
aspects of debating.
Joining us for the first time ever, Deborah Fordham attended as voice
coach. Throughout the day she taught us how to focus our 'zen' and have
good 'karma' when we speak. The luncheon interval was well catered for by
many parents who very kindly gave up their Saturday to provide lunch for us.
After lunch we watched some colourful speeches by the junior Shore teams.
In all it was a very successful day with much being learnt by both junior
and senior debaters. A final thanks must go to Richard Holden who gave up
his time to come and coach us and to adjudicate some of the debates.
In other debating news, three Shore boys attended the N.S.W. schools'
debating team try outs in the holidays. Nick Townend, Jeremy Chase and
Christian Dunn all made the trek Out to Sydney University and are currently
waiting to hear the results of these trials.

'COUNTRYLINK' SERVICE FOR SHORE BOARDERS
The School has negotiated with Countrylink to provide buses immediately
after the conclusion of the school term to the west, south west and north west

as the School breaks for holidays.
Transport for boarders living in more isolated areas of the State will depart
earlier by train on the final day of the term. It is hoped that boarders will
patronise these special services making it well worthwhile for Countrylink to
arrange. Boarders will not be able to leave School before these times unless
special permission is granted by the Deputy Headmaster.

COMMITTEE
The shortcomings of science, and the lamp of life
our ancestors have passed on to us.
To say, as J.E. Chase did in a recent article, that every major problem in
our society relies on science for a solution" is not only wrong but arrogant
and disrespectful. Does he dismiss the brilliance of Plato, the leadership of
Churchill, the wisdom of countless humanitarians, and assert that all
previous human knowledge is useless?
Lets look at an example; war, probably the biggest problem a society
could face. According to the article science is the answer. Does this mean
building bigger and better machines of mass destruction? Surely this is the
only way science could be used to solve such a problem. A scholar of
History would on the other hand note the situation in which this war
occurred. He would use this knowledge combined with similar historical
occurrences to try and find the best solution possible, peacefully.
Science is a tool only ever utilised by an elite few in order to make
technological advancements. Our morals and social stability are thrust into
the hands of a few people. The skills learnt in history however, will allow
any citizen once leaving school to make informed decisions, not to rush into
things blindly. History is understood by all, from the basic colonisation
mistakes in Australia, and thus, in our democratic world, it is more important
in the process of decision making.
The article said, "To progress as a society we need to use science as a
tool with which to till the earth", precisely. Science is, and should remain, g
tool. To say science will solve all our problems is like saying a screwdriver
will fix all broken machines. A deeper knowledge is required, a knowledge of
the machinery, and an understanding of how it worked in the past is essential
in getting it running smoothly. To make random changes to the machine
will do nothing but impair its productivity, this too will happen if man
follows science blindly.
The second paragraph mentioned "the most important issues involving the
survival of the human species". The article said we should tum to science
and not the humanities. It is the lack of foresight in scientific
"achievements' that has caused the major problems to the earth; acid rain, and
ozone depletion for example. We need not 'copy' historic solutions, as the
offending article so narrow mindedly pointed out, but follow the procedure of
solving problems that our ancestors have been doing for centuries. Any
Mathematician worth his salt will tell you that.
Let's imagine a hypothetical. Take Albert Einstein, one of the great
scientists of all time and place him in 10th century England. The authorities
ask him to solve their problems, what does he do? Propose a theory of
general relativity? No he would have to research the roots of the problems,
their historical legacy and then attempt to solve it, perhaps with some
scientific sleight of hand. However, no amount of science can right the
wrongs of totalitarian societies, no experiment will create an equal
opportunity environment, and no science will solve a single problem without
a historical and anthropological background.

RUGBY DINNER
THURSDAY 25TH MAY 1995
The dinner, which is a sell out, will be preceded by drinks in the foyer of
The Centenary Building. Guests are asked to note that the foyer will be
open for refreshments from 7.00 p.m. not 7.30 p.m. as advised previously.
Will there be flowers at eternity?
This term, with the combined help of the whole Shore school, (this
means every boy, master or parent from Grade 3 to Year 12), the Record is
going to write the ultimate love story. Each week the best paragraph received
shall be added Onto the story. To become involved, all you have to do is
write a one paragraph continuation of 'the story'. Place it in the Record box,
with your name and tutor group and wait. Due to the simple nature of the
competition, everyone can become part of the greatest story ever. All you
need is 5 minutes, a pen and a piece of paper. If you happen to be in a rather
boring tutor group right now, why don't you have a bash at it? No great
literary skills are needed, just the ability to string 5 sentences together.
Here's paragraph number one of.....
WILL THERE BE FLOWERS AT ETERNITY?
Steven Rogers stepped off the plane into the middle of a cool autumn day.
He turned and glared at his mother. She had said it was going to be warm
down here in Sydney. Steve strode down the corridor at the airport and burst
Onto the brightly lit street. His mother called a cab, which whisked them
both off into the bowels of the city. With one last glance at the airport he
left his life in Noosa behind and prepared himself mentally for the challenge
ahead.....
by Alastair Chase, Tutor group HG
Next week, what is Steve's challenge? Will his past be revealed'? What is in
his mother's suitcase?
RIFLE SHOOTING REPORT
The 1995 Shooting season began last Saturday. Shooting was made
difficult with constant rain, yet many fine scores were recorded.
The new boys to the sport also shot well, with 12 out of the 16 boys
scoring above 20.
This depth of ability is promising for the upcoming GPS competition,
where a competitive team is needed to win the premiership.

THE SWRMAN
It all began one peaceful Tuesday afternoon in the SWR room as the
various members debated whether to proceed with yet another "Plays on
words" or to leave an even more productive blank space. Before another
contemptuous word could be mentioned, however, a bolt of inspiration hit
one of the committee members (we'd like to see that!).
"The SWRman..."
"Oh, what an amazing bolt of inspiration!"
But one problem remained. The SWRman had had a rather dull and
uninteresting 1st term, leaving only one possible solution. Endless reruns!
One member was still uncertain,
"Who is the SWRman?"
"Not one man alone, but when the elementals of liquid, fire and earth
come together, by their powers combined, the SWRman becomes easily
possible."
And so the legend is born, or reborn, but all must be beware! The
SWRman is out there, and in the interest of investigative Journalism he will
stop at nothing.
So watch this space!

Intelligence Test
The following contains no irrelevant information.
Hanging from a pulley is a rope with a weight at one end, and, at the
other end, a monkey of weight equal to the weight of the weight.
The combined ages of the monkey and its mother is four years, and the
weight of the monkey (in Newtons) is as many pounds as the mother is in
years.
The mother is twice as old as the monkey was when the mother was half
as old as the monkey will be when the monkey is three tunes as old as its
mother was when she was three times as old as the monkey was.
The weight of the rope and the weight of the weight is half as much again
as the difference between the weight of the weight and the weight of the
weight plus the weight of the monkey.
The rope weighs 4oz per foot.
Find the length of the rope in metres.
Answer in S.1. units.

ATHLETICS REPORT
The weather report forecast wet and miserable conditions for Saturday the
6th of May, advising a weekend indoors. Alas, the treacherous and deterring
conditions couldn't prevent the SHORE TRACK and FIELD team from
arnving in a savage convoy, ready to tear apart any willing opposition.
The onslaught began with our young star, Robbie Tall, winning the
Under 13 long jump, leaping 4.92m, and the high jump with 1.49m. The
Under l4s also showed promise with Mau Niall and Anthony Alexander both
winning their respective hurdles races. Anthony also demonstrated flair,
running a winning personal best in the 400m. Luke McSpeerin led the way
in the Under 15s, blitzing his competitors in both the 800m and 1500m.
Not only did he win the 1500m, but also set a new school record running
4:26.2 minutes. A great run for Luke and an inspiration for the team! In
that same age group Woody Maslin outjumped the field yet again, winning
the long jump with 5.76m and Alex Judge came second in the Under 17 long
jump, with a great opening leap of 6.31m.
Dashing Rob Knox made his intentions clear as he streaked to victory in
the Under 16 100m, and ran a gutsy 400m, only to be pipped at the post, in a
personal best time of 53.1 sees. Amongst the many other personal best
performances in the age group were: Mark Hutchinson in the shot put, Ed
Cay, Mike Bayliss and Alex Koch in the 400m and Richard Macready and
Roger Quayle in the high jump, springing to 1.82m and 1.85m respectively.
The senior athletes, Under 17s and Open, showed no mercy to the poor
conditions, or the competitors, as Angus Booth and Andrew Pym cruised the
lOOm track thrashing the field. Callum Macleod didn't wait for his
competitors in the Open 3000m, leaving them in his wake.
Overall, there were many personal best times recorded in tough
conditions, proving the courage, mental and physical strength of the team to
overcome the rough conditions. Be sure to come Out to Narrabeen athletics
track as the SHORE TRACK and FIELD team, host what is boasted to be
the biggest and best barbecue of the year, and performances to match. Any
parents who fancy themselves as barbecue connoisseurs are most welcome to
join Ian Packman and the team to man the barbecue at the track. Boys of
SHORE, girlfriends, parents and anyone else interested, are advised to join us
all br the final carnival before the UPS, occurring the following week. See
you ALL there!

DEBATING
Please read this carefully, as much vital information is contained herein.
Last Friday was the first night this year for boys who are not in the
ISDA competition. St Aloysius brought eleven teams over, and we had a
mixed night. It wasn't helped by several boys not turning up - if a boy agrees
to debate then he is expected to do so. It is a competition for teams, not
individuals, and boys who fail to come are letting down their team and their
school. Having said this, we nevertheless had an interesting night, with the
813s, 913s, lOBs and Thirds winning. The parents as usual provided a superb
supper under difficult conditions.
Friday also saw Shore debating Manly High for the third round of the
Commonwealth Bank trophy. Affirming "That leadership is a lost art", they
debated well but did not win.
Tonight is Round Five of the ISDA, here at Shore, against St. Ignatius.
St. Ignatius is a formidable opponent, and support from the home side would
be greatly appreciated. Years 7, 8 and 9 commence debating at 7.30 p.m.,
while years 10, 11 and 12 commence at 8.30 p.m. So far Shore is leading
the Year 10 competition by two points and is on level pegging in years 7
and 8.
Friday 19th May we debate at Monte St. Angelo. Years 7 - 10 debate
against the Monte teams, while the two Senior teams will debate Sydney
Grammar School (all debates to be held at Monte).
The Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition is to be held at Shore on
Friday May 26th at 7.30 p.m. This is the 60th Anniversary of the
competition. The venue is the Playfair Hall, while a superb supper will be
held in the foyer of the Ken and Joan Smith Auditorium. Please make an
effort to attend and support our representative. There is ISDA debating also
that night, at St. Catherine's, Waverley, and Mr. Patrick and Mr. Perrin will
drive boys across in the school bus.
Other debates this term (apart from ISDA finals, at a date to be
announced) are Friday 2nd June, when we go to St. Ignatius, and Friday 9th
June, when we visit Abbotsleigh.
As you can see, we are giving as many boys as possible the opportunity
to debate; I hope they will remain committed to this undertaking, because we
have some excellent raw talent, which only needs hard work and dedication to
produce success.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ROWING REPORT
After their successes at the Head of the River, the 1st VIII and the stern
IV of the 2nd VIII travelled to Western Australia to compete in the National
Championships, to be rowed on Wellington Dam, just outside of Collie,
about 200km south of Perth. Few could argue that the standard of the course
was nothing short of pathetic, but this didn't stop the Shore crews from
performing more than admirably.
Each crew had to race one or more times (depending on the number of
crews entered) to determine who would have a place in the final. The first
finals were raced on the Friday, where the stern IV of the 1st VIII, consisting
of James Armati, Sam Wallrock, Andrew Waite and Michael Wiseman (with
Carter Mullins as coxswain) won the Junior IV event by two lengths from
the Swan River crew, and were thus selected to represent Australia in the
coxed IV event at the World Juniors to be staged in Poland later this year.
Inclement weather saw Saturday's races postponed for two hours, until the
wind settled down and racing could be resumed. When racing finally got
underway, the Shore crew raced in the final of the Junior VIII, where the stem
IV were joined by John Boag, Joel Cape, Derek Burrows and Alex Koch. It
was obvious that the most competitive crews would be from N.S.W., and
with Newington having to withdraw after their five man burst an appendix, it
seemed certain that the only real contenders would be Shore and Sydney
Grammar School. That wai how it finished, with Shore rowing a very
controlled race to win by two lengths.
On the final day of the Championships on Sunday, Shore competed in
two finals. The first was the Schoolboy IV, in which the stern IV of the 2nd
VIII, (comprised of Michael Irvine, John Wood, Matthew Davis and Saxon
Lyne) were the underdogs, after having to qualify for the final through the
repecharge. But the crew showed lots of character, to win by half a length.
The 1st VIII then competed in the Schoolboy VIII (the race for the Barrington
Cup) which they won from Sydney Grammar, with Newingion (with a
replacement rower flown over from Sydney) third.
Shore's performance at the Regatta was the icing on the cake for what
many have described as the greatest season ever produced from a GPS
boatshed; not only from the 1st VIII, but all the way through the shed.

SPORTS EDITOR : A.J. Pym
COMMITTEE :
"KNOWLEDGE MUST PROGRESS"
If believing that the way to the future is through science; if believing that
man may one day reach Mars; if believing in a world free of pollution, makes
one 'arrogant and disrespectful', then I must be found guilty of the crime.
In answering the charge laid against me by Mr. A.J. Hawkins in last
week's Record, there are two points I would like to raise. The first concerns
the misconception Mr. Hawkins has of the distinction between science and
technology and the second concerns the philosophy of science.
Mr. Hawkins said in a recent article for the SWR, that those who chose
to 'ignore history' are 'arrogant and disrespectful'. This was in response to the
idea that the way to the future was through the brilliance of science.
Unfortunately for Mr. Hawkins however he was blinded, as most persons not
learned in the area of science are, by the horror of such awful technologies
as the atom bomb. Mr. Hawkins had his mind so far back in the days of
Plato and Aristotle that he failed to realise that pgpig and not science are to
blame for the atrocities of the world. Science as valid means of contributing
to the knowledge of the world is by no means the cause of such abhorrences
as Hiroshima, the only part science played in the bombing of the city was to
discover a new source of energy in the splitting of the atom. This was then
adapted by technology into many states, nuclear reactors, new medical
materials and, of course, the atomic bomb. Even then however, none of the
new technologies were directly responsible for what happened in 1-liroshima.
People were. To trace the means of destruction back to its source is a valid
step from here. At the most, it is logical to go back one level to technology.
It may be true that the bomb was invented with destruction in mind, which
could pin part of the blame there. To go back another level to science as the
cause of the nuclear bomb is both irrational and illogical. The scientist who
first thought of nuclear fusion, Albert Einstein had no evil intentions when
he proposed E=mc2. It is clear that people and to some extent technology are
to blame, not science.
My second argument finds itself in Mr. Hawkins' question, '...does he
[JEC] assert that all previous human knowledge is useless?' In answer to this
question, I must reply that to some extent, the answer is 'Yes'. The reason
for this lies in the philosophy of science as form of formulating and
assessing new ideas. The methodology of science is: firstly one forms an
idea, secondly one designs a set of repeatable experiments to test this idea and
thirdly, if the experiments prove it correct, one adopts this new idea as a law.
This system necessarily ensures two things. The first is that human
knowledge is constantiy being updated and secondly, science is discovering
new things. The reason I believe that some of our previous knowledge is
incorrect and 'useless is related to the first consequence of scientific
experimentation. To give an example of this, it was once believed that the
Earth was the centre of rotation for the solar system. Through applications
of scientific method, observations and experiments, it has been shown quite
clearly that the Earth in fact orbits the sun. This new piece of information
renders the old idea obsolete and 'useless'. From this example it can be seen
that as our knowledge grows, we must give up certain ideas as obsolete and
not hang on to them as nostalgic old historians are wont to do.
In conclusion, I have demonstrated that people and technology, not
humans, are guilty of heinous crimes against society. I have also shown that
it is necessary, not arrogant to view some of our past knowledge as 'useless'.

THE SWRMAN IN: HOSTAGE IN ROOM 1101
The day had passed slowly for SWRman, with the first four periods being
ever so dull and even his lunch down at Greenwood had produced little of
interest. (Yes the SWRman is one of the privileged members of the Vth and
VIth Forms for all those out there who didn't already know.) Fifth period
was Maths with the evil Larrstanus who kept the mediocre 2U Maths class
busy with exercises on conies and complex numbers, for the sake of
extending their intellects. Unbeknownst to them all however, sixth period
would become one of the more memorable times in the history of schooling
SWRman arrived late after being caught in a mass of ascending 1st
Formers coming up the southern stairs. Closing the door as he arrived,
SWRman was surprised to find no-one else in the room. His feeble mind,
already overworked by extensive use and abuse of De Moivres theorem,
decided that he must be early, and he sat down and began his two hours of
Maths homework. Two hours later, still trying to make sense of what the
little a) after question 1 meant, he arose and tried to walk out of the room.
"Tried" being the operative word. Try as he may he could not seem to push
the door open.
"Hmm, it opened when I pushed it on the way in. Oh well, I'll just have
to wait until someone pushes it open from the other side." And with that
amazingly intelligent quote he decided to stay for the night until someone
came in the morning. Not that he had much option.
Friday night debates came and went, as did the Saturday rockclimbers
abseiling off Benefactors. Monday came and the SWRman was eventually
found, having survived on the starchy 2U textbook and a seemingly endless
supply of chalk. People ummed and ahhed and basically shook their heads in
disbelief and went about their merry ways. But one thing never changed.
The SWRman. Scarred for life he vowed to avenge himself on all those who
skipped English that day, and anyone else who he feels like avenging at any
given time. You have been warned. You are being watched. But he will
bide his time.
Footnote from the author: As a journalist I have no wish to interfere
with the SWRman and his adventures and I therefore take no responsibility
for his actions. For the record I did not say anything to him during his ordeal
over the weekend but I did open and shut the door from inside and out many
times while attracting his attention, but it was to no avail.

In case anyone wanted to know what happened to the Great Burnings
in SWR History Competition, the last word in the one-sided struggle
between the SWR and the SSS is on the Record room window. It's actually

LOWER NORTH SHORE
YOUTH ACTION FORUM
On the 8th and 9th of May nine boys from Form V took part in the North
Sydney Council sponsored Youth Action Forum. The aim of the forum was
for the younger people of the lower North Shore to have an opportunity to
work together and identify issues which they felt were important to their age
group, to address the problems they identified within those issues and to
present a congregation of "V.I.P's' from the area their findings.
The first day of the forum was spent mainly in 'getting to know you"
groups, as they were called, identifying the issues the forum wished to
address and more specifically the problems within those issues. Once the
four main issues had been decided upon, the issues being Drug and Alcohol
Abuse, Youth Legal Rights and Police Relations, The Environment, and
Entertainment Facilities, the forum was split into four "Issues Groups".
These groups were to form the basis of the Youth Action Groups that the
participants were invited to create.
The following day after a hectic night of social activity the issues groups
finalised the ideas and plans they wished to see in place. The diverse issues
ensuied that the ideas and plans put forward were just that, diverse.
The group which was concerned with the Environment, involving Richard
Letch and Andrew Keeling, formulated the idea of a "Minizine" that could be
published on a monthly or twice monthly basis to be distributed through
schools and business detailing ways in which individual young people could
make a positive impact on the environment. This was aimed to combat the
idea, which they felt was commonplace, that the environment was a problem
beyond individuals and specifically young people. This was similar to the
plan formulated by both the Drugs and Alcohol Abuse group and the Legal
Issues Group in that both planned print media to help keep young people
more informed.
The Drugs and Alcohol Abuse Group, involving Nick Pickard and Phil
Orchard planned a pamphlet that detailed the precautions necessary when
using drugs and the dangers of drug use. This was aimed at minim ising the
accidental deaths of young people through drug misuse and abuse. The
pamphlet was also to contain a comprehensive list of drug rehabilitation
centres, help-lines and medical centres so that those using drugs were well
informed of where to seek help if they wish to.
The Legal Rights and Police Relations Group, involving Andrew Ward
and Owen Molloy, also planned to produce a pamphlet which would detail
youth rights in relation to police requests, searches and detainment and also
the police rights in relation to youth behaviour. This question was one of
the more heated issues of debate during the youth forum with the
overwhelming majority of participants believing that young people were
constantly bullied and harassed by Police with little or no reason for the
Police doing so. The pamphlet was aimed at educating young people in
respect of their rights and duties as young people towards the Police and the
rights of the Police and duties towards them as young people. The problem
identified was that young people simply don't know what they must or must
not do in relation to Police requests and the group wanted to make young
people more aware.
The final group, which was concerned with entertainment facilities,
involved Anthony Welsh, Adam Hill and Aaron Cornish. The group
identified the problem that the existing facilities open to young people were
poorly equipped, funded and run by the Council and that there was a major
lack of "nightiife" for the under age. The group split into two, one to assess
the existing youth facilities and one to examine the second problem. The
first problem was addressed by a plan to upgrade the facilities provided
through new equipment and maintenance and repair to old equipment and by
keeping youth centres open on Thursday and Friday nights later into the
evening and also on weekends when they are currently shut. The second
group formulated the idea of "the venue" to deal with the lack of "nightlife"
which was a major concern. The basic strategy proposed was to take
possession of an old warehouse in the Balls Head industrial sector and to turn
it into a weekly venue for unlicensed events of a high standard. The age
group targeted was the 15 and over with some standard set on age restrictions
in allowing people in. The idea was to provide a high standard place where
youth from all over the North Shore could meet and have a good time.
Once the plans had been formulated the presentation to the "V.I.P's' was
planned. The eventual format was once again free to the participant's choice
and three groups chose dramatic performances coupled with speakers
explaining the ideas of the group and their plans.
The impression upon those watching was seemingly very favourable as
the majority of speakers portrayed themselves as logical, clear thinking
young people with well reasoned ideas. Throughout the two days of the
forum we learned of other people's ideas, beliefs and lifestyles often
completely different from our own, who shared the same demographic living
space, the North Shore. The participants were from completely different
backgrounds, held completely different beliefs and had completely different
experiences of youth life. They represented over 20 schools on the North
Shore and each had preconceived ideas about other schools. The forum not
only pooled our ideas and thoughts but also our personalities and through our
meeting the whole of the North Shore Youth were represented and we felt as
if we were also part of the North Shore youth rather than solely part of a
school community.

A REVIEW
The Ken and Joan Smith Auditorium hosted a great crowd, which
complemented the outstanding performances of yet another successful lunch
hour concert. Thursday's lunch hour concert consisted of the VI Form
Elective Music students which was a vital performance leading to their
overall assessment for the H.S.C.
First on stage was the well known pianist and Captain of Music, Alex
Yim. Alex accompanied the brilliant voice of Greg Brown in "Two Lieder
opus 10, No.'s I and 2" by R. Strauss. He had total control during the work
and fulfilled his role of holding the piece together brilliantly and very
professionally. Next up was the outstanding Matthew Gow on the flute. He
played "Sonata in E minor, movements 1 and 2" by Handel. The very
moving "Blue Melody" was then performed by David Fitzhardinge on the
Alto Sax, composed by Joanne Maree. David played this piece with great
feeling and displayed his amazing talent of music. The final two
performances showed the talent of the 3 Unit Music students as composers.
Michael Dotch showed talent on the electric keyboard with his own
pianoforte composition, "Dream within a Dream", a techno piece which he
played very well. Finally, the champion bass guitarist, Rod Frost, played
the boppy "Finding the Feeling" with Nathan Hemsworth on the drums.
Both composed this piece and both performed expressing their amazing talent
for their instruments.

TIPS
The Internet is, by far, the greatest and most significant achievement in
the history of mankind. What? Am I saying that the Internet is more
impressive than the pyramids? More heauttful than Michelangelo's David'
More important to mankind than the wondrous inventions of the industrial
revolution?
Yes, yes and yes.
It might seem silly to compare the Internet to the industrial revolution in
importance, but to anyone who knows computers, (and I am not one) this
suggestion might just seem feasible. The Internet Complete
Reference (004.67 Hah) provides an introduction to the Internet, giving
hints on Electronic Mail, connecting to remote systems via Telnet, and the
World Wide Web hypertextbased Information Service, among others. With a
recommended skill level of 'for every user', and claims on the back cover that
the book is the most authoritative and extensive Internet reference ever
written, it should provide everything you need to know about the Internet.
The Library also holds a number of other titles on the Internet.
As a supplement to The Internet Complete Reference, Internet
A ustralasia (Periodical 004) gives up-to-date information on the Internet,
and reviews the latest software available.
The Hume and Hovel! Walking Track guide book
(919.4404
Hil) makes it possible for you to walk from Sydney to Port Phillip. The
N.S.W. Department of Lands, through a grant of $1.3 million, has
constructed a track that follows the route through New South Wales and
Victoria. The first part of the book gives a description of the original
journey, including the day-by-day account of the exploring party. The second
half accurately describes the walking track as it is today. It provides maps of
the walking track, camping sites, and even gives the phone numbers of
various motels along the route.

DEBATING
Shore is to be congratulated for winning five out of six debates in the
ISDA competition last Friday. Only the Senior A team was defeated, in
what was a close debate. The Year 7 and 10 teams remain undefeated, while
Year 8 has lost only one debate. The boys are to be congratulated for some
superb debating against very tough opponents.
The Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition is to be held at Shore on
Friday 26th May at 7.30 p.m. This is the 60th anniversary of the
competition. The venue is the Playfair Hall, while supper will be served in
the foyer of the Ken and Joan Smith Auditorium. Please make an effort to
attend and support our representative, Jeremy Chase. Unfortunately there is
ISDA debating also that night, at St. Catherine's, Waverley, and Mr. Patrick
and Mr. Perrin will drive boys across in the school bus. This means that
the home audience will be somewhat depleted, so boys and parents not
involved in ISDA are especially requested to attend.
There will be no parking in the Centenary Carpark. Those attending are
asked to park as usual in the Bishopsgate Carpark, Union Street.
Other debates this term (apart from ISDA finals, at a date to be
announced) are Friday 2nd June, when we go to St. Ignatius, and Friday 9th
June, when we visit Abbotsleigh.

ATHLETICS REPORT
Last Saturday Shore played host to three of our major competitors,
Grammar, Riverview and Joey's, in a day of bright warm sunshine and near
perfect conditions, at Narrabeen Athletics Track. Rob Tall opened Shore's
account in the Under 13 long jump with a new school record leap of 5.1lm,
an extremely good effort for a talented all round athlete. In that same age
group Bill Steam came second in his high jump and Tom Roberts ran great
800 and 1500m races warning his competitors for next week's GPS Carnival.
Luke McSpeerin starred in the Under 15s, blitzing his 800m competitors
in a time of 2.06mins, making himself a great chance for victory in the event
next week. Matthew Cherian ran well in the lOOm, giving himself a good
chance at the GPS.
The Under 16 high jump saw Richard Macready spring over the bar,
winning with 1.80m. Mark Hutchinson, James Packman and Rob Knox ran
personal bests in their respective events, progressing further and further each
week, building to crescendo performances at GPS. The Under 17s produced
similar performances dominating some events and creating new personal
bests. Our star high jumper Roger Quayle dominated, and set a new personal
best in the event clearing I .92m, and I've heard his best is yet to come! Joe
Marsh, Drew Renkert and Charles Beattie all ran promising 800m races, as
did Angus 'the bullet' Boothe in the lOOm and Ben McCann in the 400m.
Many open competitors ran varied distances to keep their competition
guessing and improve their speed. Pierre Kyme won the 800m race in a
warm up for his 1500 next week and Callum MacLeod didn't run, giving his
opponents no further insights into his winning formula! Andrew Pym found
great form cruising to victory in the 200m and a controversial third in the
lOOm, with respective times of 22.4secs and 10.9secs.
A fantastic barbecue was put on by Ian and Gilly Packman, and many
thanks must go to all who assisted on the day. Thanks also must go to all
others who helped in various other aspects which contributed to a most
enjoyable and successful day.

help equip The Centenary Building.
GPS ATHLETICS PREVIEW
Saturday will mark one of the longest running Athletics Carnivals in
Australia. Yes, it is that time of year for the pilgrimage by all the GPS
schools to the GPS Athletics Championships. In years gone past the
athletes of the GPS have graced the Sydney Cricket Ground and E.S. Marks
Field in the city. However last year with the opening of the Sydney
International Athletic Centre at Homebush the GPS saw that a move to
Homebush would mean every school being able to compete in every event.
This is something even the rowers cannot beat. For only the second time in
history therefore the band of mighty Pajeros, Volvos and other assorted
family cars will be heading to Homebush. So even if you only have a little
school spirit, then a trip out to Homebush is well worth it, as there are no
better facilities in Australia. If the running, throwing, jumping or hurdling
gets a little stale at times, you could always join in a war cry or three with
the legend war cry leader himself, Richard Bunting. Then again, you could
check Out the progress with the Olympic construction; the new pool is just
over the back of the Ahtletic stadium.
The main events, though, will be in the stadium itself. This is where the
very able and talented Shore Athletics Team will be performing in the major
event of the Shore Athletics calendar. The Shore ahtletes so far this year, if
you have not been reading the Athletics Reports, have been performing from
the undulating green slopes of Riverview to the rather quicker tartan tracks of
Homebush and Narrabeen.
The coaches have done their utmost in preparing the squad which has been
tapering off over the last few days (we hope). The Shore coaches should be
commended right now as they have been an example to other coaches of other
teams. Why, might you ask? Basically, they have not run around the inside
of the track shouting at our boys to go harder. On Saturday at Narrabeen
there was one coach who clocked more miles than most of his athletes!
While the Shore coaches have given positive encouragement all the way,
they have left it to the athletes to tackle the mental side of competition. So
watch out for a lot of gutsy finishes as the Shore team shows that nothing is
impossible, even beating a person who is supposedly going to run 10.1
seconds for the 100 metres. May all athletes perform to their best and may
all supporters perform to their best in giving the athletes the support they
deserve and need.

"Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty four
hours and too little on the last six thousand years"
Will Durant
Mr. Chase touched on a very important point in his recent article,
"Knowledge must progress", he said that I failed to realise that it was people
and not science that are to blame for the atrocities of the world. Mr. Chase,
as with many scientists, suffers from a lack of insight. If history shows us
anything at all, it is that man makes bad decisions. Why then develop such
things as the atomic bomb, if we know people will make bad decisions
pertaining to them? The humanities teaches us to make better decisions,
rather than laying the responsibility for catastrophes on the nature of man.
What good does that do us? The mistake has been made and blamed on man,
rather than averting the whole problem, from a knowledge of the history of
man. If science is to be a responsible contributor to our society it must not
continually pass the buck, it must take responsibility for its actions in the
knowledge that if it doesn't, powerful men will manipulate it to serve their
own ends.
Sadly Mr. Chase was a victim of contradiction in his recent article. He
said science was a valid means of contributing to the knowledge of the world.
He then proceeded to admit he was guilty of the crime that "all previous
knowledge was useless". In Mr. Chase's own logic we are then left with a
dilemma, once discovering information, we must throw it away because it is
"useless". We would never advance.
The original article to which Mr. Chase replied was that "History is the
most relevant". He has then proceeded to argue that science and technology
are separate as they indeed are. However, when he said science was a tool
with which to till the earth, he was referring to technology. In terms of
relevancy to the bulk of the population, pure science has none. It is only
technology which is sometimes useful.
So the earth is round; good, well done science. It is interesting that we
live on a rounded rather than flat surface isn't it.. I mean without that
knowledge we'd all die from wars, totalitarian states would violate civil rights
and pollution would be ten times greater than it is. The real concerns of
humanity are in advancing and solving problems. Trivia like the nature of
the earth's shape is interesting but hardly solves the real problems on earth,
problems science must bear some responsibility to.
The knowledge that the earth is round has indeed superseded the belief that
the earth is flat, but that doesn't make the information useless. Firstly if this
knowledge was in fact useless it would have thrown away along time ago,
wiped out from the record of man. However the very fact that we are taught
about people's past beliefs means the information is useful, not in a narrow
scientific sense, but useful in studying the mistakes of man and the effects it
has on the ordinary people of the world. It shows us the way in which past
beliefs are called into question, conflict arises and healthy debate ensues. It
shows the suffering of the men who tried to tell us the earth was round.
Persecutions that we must avoid in the future just because they were
challenging the status quo.
Lastly Mr. Chase's respectability as a scientist must be called into
question on two accounts:
Mr. Chase, it appears, thinks there is a distinction between people and
humans (see p75 of the Record, last paragraph), saying people and
technology are to blame, not humans, for the heinous crimes against
society.
Almost all his understanding of science comes from "previous
knowledge", the very knowledge he is condemning. This is what he has
been taught all his life through school. As with most of us he doesn't
currently belong in the elite few and so his understanding of science
cannot be complete.
"That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is
the most important of all lessons that History has to teach."

Shore Weekly Record
SWR man: Happy as Larry
With the recently passed budget leaving the SWR man with markedly less
cash in hand, and Out of pocket expenses making his wallet lighter as every
day passes, he has decided to share with us the key to solving all of his
monetory problems: Larrousse Economics. Based on the work of the frontier
economist Ishmacl Goldstein, this has saved him money at every turn, so he
dropped us a note here as the SWR which explained it all to us. According to
the SWR man's experience, it can be utilised whenever money is required to
be spent, be it when out on the town, paying for petrol or the bridge toll, and
even when at Shirls. As you can imagine, being a larry (a subscriber to the
theory of Larrousse Economics, or L.E. as we in the business know it) has
many advantages.
The basic theory can be summarised in the following formula:
j_lim (_.
'L5>0 . nfp
Where KL = The larrousse constant;
tim $->0 = limiting spendature to zero;
c = total cost;
nfp = number of friends present.
ie. The larrousse constant = limited spendature to zero, with the cost divided
by the number of friends present.
Accompanying the basic principal of L.E. came an explanatory graph:

A REVIEW
Following the recent success of previous Lunch Hour Concerts, there was
a strong tum-out for the Vth Form Music Student's Assessable Performance.
Following VIth Form's performance the week before, those lucky enough
to have witnessed the performance in the new auditorium were impressed at
the depth of talent in the ever growing Shore Music Department.
First to play was Angus Booth, who performed an innovative flute
arrangement of "The House of the Rising Sun". It was a challenging piece,
but played with ease by Angus, who has played the instrument for seven
years. Malcolm McDonald, who was a guest appearance from VIth Form,
played Handel with a brilliant tone and good control on the challenging
instrument, the trumpet. Wade Johnston, a new member to the music ranks,
is one of the best violinists I have heard for his age and brought a great deal
of feeling into "Misty" by Errol Garner. On bass guitar Daniel Schemmer
performed an original composition, "Fritters for Susan" which he played
smoothly, with his hand covering the fretboard gracefully. On the subject of
grace, Michael Grace, who was the drumming finale to the concert, played
"Zoron Six", another original composition, showed his advancement of skill
on that instrument colloquially termed "The Skins", to be seemingly never
ending.
If you haven't yet been to one of these Thursday concerts, it's a good way
to momentarily forget that you have fifth period ahead of you. So consider
rocking up to the next one if you're free.

larrousse asymptote
When no friends are present, spendature is at the minimum required
(MRS), however if one has no friends, then one must pay for himself, and
those who, under the false pretence of friendship, 'larry off" the unfortunate
individual. Hence the larried constant occurs as the spendature on he who has
been larried is always marginally higher than the minimum required
spendature. The PFL (personal friend limit) occurs when one has all one's
expenses paid for by one's friends, and any further larrying after this falls into
the category of "The King Larrousse" (of which the SWR man is a prime
example). The Larrousse asymptote is an individual level at which Ofle'S
friends available funds become exhausted i.e. they have been "lamed out".
The trick is, or course, to maintain a high level of larrism while
maintaining a steady number of friends, but this is no problem for the SWR
man. He has no idea of the true worth of larrouse economics. We now know
that he actually cut this out of a book he found in a gutter, and entered it in
the "Silly Little Boxes With Meaningless Pictures In Them", a competition
which we can proudly say has never violated the Record under the present
committee. To the SWR man, lazzing is a natural instinct, which he applies
to everything from bus fares, to library cards, to " post-exam -mark- scabb i ng ".
The SWR man is as happy as Larry (or he would be, at least, if he weren't
trapped in rm 1301).

GPS ATHLETICS REPORT
Last Saturday ended a great athletics season, with the annual GPS.
carnival. If you weren't fortunate enough to view the spectacle, then you
missed a great day of entertaining athletics and some mind-blowing
performances (particularly from the Shore competitors!) On the day there
were three school records broken by our field athletes, namely, Bill Stearn in
the Under 13 high jump, clearing a massive 1.60, smashing the previous
record by 7cm; Richard Macready leapt to fame in the Under 16 high jump
creating a record of 1.90m, crushing the already standing record of 1.86m;
while multi-event competitor Robbie Tall, blitzed a 35 year long record by
10cm in the Under 13 long jump, leaping 5.15m.
Apart from these fantastic efforts, many athletes ran personal bests and
won their respective events. Rob Knox ran superbly winning the lOOm,
200m and 400m all in excellent times. Aaron Marshall McCormack burst
home in a terrific race to see him win the Under 17 1500m as did Luke
McSpeerin in his 1500. Callum Macleod blitzed his opposition to win the
3000m in terrific style! Drew Woodhouse missed out on a blue ribbon in the
Under 16 long jump by 1cm! James Freeman came a close second in the
Open Shot Put after much controversy on the legitimacy of the Joeys
competitor. Roger Quayle also came a close second in the Under 17 high
jump springing to 1.94m, as did Andrew Pym in the Open lOOm and 200m,
to an extremely fast Joey's athlete who was offered a place in the N.S.W.
Academy of Sport with his high jump team mate after their performances on
Saturday. The two Open Relay teams also provided much excitement
claiming second in both races, coming 0.1 seconds off the school record in
each of the events! It was a promising way to end the season for the Open
competitors, leaving goals to aim for, for the future athletes of the senior and
junior team.
Overall the junior team came a respectable fifth and the senior team
fourth, with a narrow margin of 12 points separating us from the runners up
position! All support on the day was greatly appreciated as it was throughout
the season. It really does lift the athletes to new heights, especially in High
Jump! Good luck to all for future seasons and, Cool Runnings!

TIPS
The Oxford Companion to Australian Sport (REF 796.0994
Oxf) is the A to Z of Australian sport. It has just about every sport played
seen or heard of in Australia, as well as every sports personality in Australia
over the last hundred years or so. Names such as Allan Border, David
Campese, Mark Ella, and Herb Elliot appear on the pages of the book. The
sports they play are also mentioned, including histories and a fairly detailed
description of the game/sportJactivity.
Teapots (Q738.8 Car) is basically an art book. According to the inside
front cover of the book, Teapots of all shapes and types are high on the list
of collecting obsessions. Hitchhiking frog atop a duck, Trunk and suitcase,
Teatime Tunes (a piano), and even a Japanese puzzle teapot with a difference.
The puzzle is how the tea gets to the spout. Some are legitimate teapots, but
many, of which the ones above are just a few, are anything but teapots. The
book is filled with colourful pictures of intricately detailed teapots with an
explanation for each. There are seven catagories of teapots, figural, fine china,
floral, porcelain, pottery, silver puwter and other metals and tiny teapots. A
history of teapots is given at the beginning of the book, and collecting
guidelines and useful addresses are given at the end. This book could come in
handy for some of the ceramics classes in the lower forms.

graciously of their time and energy (on Mothers' Day!) to help make the
Shore Rowing Challenge such a huge success.
For its part the Association raised approximately $3,200.00 through the

Bob Shirlaw. To all Shore "Mums' who assisted on the various stalls and
those brave ladies who rowed over the month leading up to the big event, my
sincere thanks.

DEBATING
Round Six of the ISDA competition, held at Shore last Friday, saw our
Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 teams victorious against Monte Sant' Angelo. The
Senior A and B teams were defeated by Sydney Grammar School. All debates
were of a high standard, despite some difficult subjects (such as "the longer
the line, the better the catch"!) This was cleverly affirmed by Year 8, who
greatly impressed the adjudicator by their handling of the definition. It is
certain that Years 7 and 10 (who remain undefeated) and Year 8 will go into
the finals, and probable that Year 9 will also. Tonight the teams will he
debating St. Catherine's at Waverley for the final round of the competition,
so it should be a most exciting evening. The subject area this week is "Law
Week: law and lawyers", so doubtless there will be much angst in the
preparation room as boys grapple with their topics.
The Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition is to be held at Shore
tonight at 7.30 p.m. This is the 60th Anniversary of the competition. The
venue is the Playfair Hall, while supper will be served in the foyer of the Ken
and Joan Smith Auditorium. Our representative, Jeremy Chase, and the
debating staff, would be appreciative of support from the school community.
On Friday 2nd June we go to St. Ignatius and Friday 9th June we visit
Abboisleigh. These are social debates, and the GPS teams will be taken from
those attending. We are in need of a few more First Formers in debating, so
come and see me or Mr. Clarke if you are interested.

SPORTS EDITOR
COMMITTEE
:
Science is inherent to the human mind which constantly seeks
to explain the unknown. This makes science a natural and
essential part of life.
To further qualify this statement, ask a young person what he
thinks is the exciting subject. Science or history. The answer is
science every time because the discovery of new things through
experiment is much more appealing to the human mind than
history. The attitude of students to history is best summed up by
Jane Austen in Northanger Abbey when she says
'Historians.....have no higher aim than to torment readers of the
most advanced reason and maturity.'
Science will lead us to the technocratic
state of our dreams.
Science is a much more appealing subject than history. It is
both natural and essential; the study of that which is so vital to
human life. I will close with the same words Mr Hawkins did
last week.
Bisisisising, Biiiiniiing, Biiiiiiiiing. I am momentarily
distracted from my work by the telephone. I walk to the fax it is
connected to and pick up the receiver.
'Hello?'
'Hi, it's Bob here, can I send you those vitally important
booking forms for the "schoolie's week" cruise (Thank goodness
it is almost that time of year - SWRC)'
'Sure'
I press a button and second later to the sweet music of cogs
whirring I read through the document that has just be sent to me
from half way across the world.
This scenario occurs on average 12 times every second
through out the world. It makes business possible in ways never
even thought probable before. We have made things cheaper,
more accessible.
"We have constructed a civilisation based on the principles of
principle, endeavoured to make communicable sense out of
natural order, morality out of the unnatural disorder of man's
mind, made government and art, realized that they must both be
the same. We have brought society to the saddest point, the
point where there is something to lose and then all at once
through all the music, through all the sensible sounds of men
building, attempting, comes the Dies frae."
And what is it the trumpets of Mr Andrew Hawkins sound?
Science is stupid!!!
I suppose there is a sort of tragic irony that a person can spurn
so readily what has made him what he is. He longs so intensely
for the past that he can no longer focus on the future - where we
are going - and recognise that he must feed and nurture what
makes him civiised, SCIENCE.
It is science and its applications that embodies the progression
of the human race. To demonstrate the link that is inherent
between the curiosity of the human mind and progress we can
examine the notion that the world is round. To the unintellectual
and dull mind, this fact may seem so obvious that there is a need
to ridicule it by saying such things as "who cares?"
To the scientific and inquiring mind, however, it is very
exciting to know that the world is round. It makes possible the
driving away of such ludicrous superstitions as falling off the
edge of the world. This in turn made possible the progression of
man from one small corner of his world to the treasures that lay
beyond.
In the more recent past we have been able to use the
knowledge that our earth is round to arrange geostationary
satellites that make the modem forms of communication that we
all take for granted so accessible. Through this brief example it
is possible to see that science as the human instinct has driven us
to look for answers, which has in turn driven us to look for
solutions.
From there: the logical step of science.
Men do not learn very much from the lessons
of hi story.
Aldous Huxley.

To the SWR Commitee
Gday. It is becoming our belief that the SWR is degenerating into
meaningless dribble that is not even worth the paper it is printed on. Not
only is the quality of each SWR degenerating but, spelling mistakes are
beginning to infiltrate what was once an impenetrable fortress. You guys had
better pick up your acts or people including us will no longer respect your
useless information.
From C.C, Rilu, B.M, Bobby.
P.S. Please tell A.W.H.Y that his articles are causing a landslide in
popularity for you.
Dear C.C, Rilu, B.M, Bobby,
I recognise that the SWR has lowered its standards somewhat from the
heady days of Celebrity Bench Press. This, however, is due to no fault of
our own. When you start Form VI, you too will realise that there is a large
amount of work to be done which only determines what you do for the rest of
your life. You may call me whatever you like, but I know that my life is
more important than entertaining you for 20 minutes each week. Please try
to show some compassion for the hardworking SWR commitec.
J.E.C.
P.S. In defence of A.W.H.Y, how quick you are to forget the joy that his
stereograms brought to so many each week.
PARENTS OF FORM IV BOYS
Parents of boys in Form IV are invited to the school on MONDAY 17TH
JULY at 6.30 p.m. to an evening to do with the progress of their sons.
This is the evening before the beginning of term and has been selected to
allow boarder parents every opportunity to attend.
Boys will be given printed material, concerning the evening, for delivery to
their parents.

THE SWRMAN'S TIPS ON LOVE
In response to the many letters that the SWR has received concerning the
SWRman's unbelievable attraction of the opposite sex, I have been able to
obtain a copy of his tips and basic game plan when confronted with a difficult
situation. All readers however please note that this is only a guide; without
the SWRman's personal charisma the effect of these tips may not be,
consistent, so to speak.
#1 When you first meet the girl of your choice, act casual but with a
certain aura of being smitten by her. Seemingly staring deep into her eyes
can be very effective, but be careful not to overdo the level of stupidity about
you. Open mouths and wide eyes do not convey a great deal of intelligence.
#2 Talk to her about something. It doesn't really matter what as the
process of spading can be on basically any subject. Some pointers: music,
school and other common interests but be very wary of sharing make up tips
and asking whether she wears Joop TM
#3 Call her. This is where thing begin to become more difficult.
Convention says that small talk is the key to success, but I believe that a
more radical approach can be a great deal more successful. Singing Harry
Connick Jnr down the telephone line is a surefire hit. For the more
musically orientated the possibility of a bluesy tune on the old tenor sax
could be very useful. The key is to be persistent and to be different. Nothing
* could be worse than saying "So.... was your three hour maths assessment fun
today?" Of course it wasn't fun. At that point in time she probably feels
like squashing your head into what was a calculator case that has been driven
over sixteen times, kicked down her driveway, rolled up in a carpet and
thrown off a bridge.
#4 Take the time to see her. Weekends can be very convenient for both
parties. However, the really red hot Romeo will find times in which to catch
the girl by surprise, like during time off school for exams, or perhaps free
periods. This is sure to hit a nerve deep in her heart. And probably a nerve
in her parents when they return home to find you having spent all day in their
house, eating their food with their daughter.
Finally, a few points must be raised about general appearance and attitude.
Always make sure your appearance is immaculate. The hair must be just
right, preferably clean shaven with just a hint of aftershave and the
possibility of a small goatee and obviously wear some form of deodorant.
• The rugged look only works for those with a distinctly rural look about
them, as the suave look only works for those with the persistence and desire
to carry a bathroom bag to school. Bags themselves can become very
effective tools when used in the right way, which is preferably all the way to
Wenona. Something must also be said about persistence. Don't be afraid to
keep trying, no matter what jokes are made by your mates. Don't let the
issue of your love die. Bring it up. Bring it up again. But to be really sure,
make sure you are the SWRman.

YOUR TURN
There comes a time in cvcryone's life when we simply have to move on.
And after a clich6d opening to an article like that one, it looks like it might
be that time for the SWR committee of 1994-95.
It was almost a year ago that I received one of the greatest shocks of my
life and was appointed Editor of this glorious publication, the longest
running school magazine in the southern hemisphere.
The year has had its ups and downs. The original enthusiasm has, I am
ashamed to admit, worn off a hit and the loss of two free periods (those were
the good old days) meant that more of our own time was required for the
collation of nearly two thousand Records. Despite this, I have thoroughly
enjoyed the chance, indeed the privilege, to he able to write, edit and work
with such a great group of people and for such a fantastic magazine. Now it
is your turn.
Being a member of the Shore Weekly Record Committee involves a great
deal of time and effort. If you are chosen as a member of the committee for
1995-96 you would be committed to the lollowing tasks.
Tuesday afternoons after school is the time in which the Record for the
following Friday is completed before being sent off to Acme Printers.
From 3.15 until about 5.30 you would he required to edit the content
of the Record before arranging its layout and glaring the thing
together. We realise that most of you will have sport on Tuesday
afternoons and all applications will be accepted, regardless of
availability on this afternoon. Preference may be given to those who
are available on Tuesdays, especially when considering the more senior
positions on the committee, i.e. Editor and Secretary.
The collation of Records is now to he (lone on Thursdays during
recess, lunch and after school. There will also be time, if the job is
not completed beforehand, to collate belöre school and (luring recess on
Friday. This involves putting together nearly two thousand copies of
the SWR and counting them into bundles of twenty.
Friday during the tutor group period is when Records are to be handed
out to tutor groups and to the various year meetings which are
invariably taking place during this time. The Administrator is also
responsible for distributing Records to all corners of the school, from
the Prep to the Bursar's office, fondly known to us as th "Slurp
Run'.
In addition to this it is, of course, expected that you will contribute at
least the occasional article or inspired idea, although this is not
compulsory as proven by some members of this year's committee.
The position of Sports Editor also entails the duty of deciphering and
recording the sports results from the sports noticehoards on Monday
afternoon and pressuring the captains of sports to ensure that the report
is handed in (already typed on computer disk) before the Tuesday
morning deadline.
On a more light-hearted note, here are some questions to give us a bit of
an idea as to your suitability for the job.
SURGEON'S WARNING: The following questionnaire will not give you
lung cancer or heart disease and is certainly not addictive. It could, however,
have negative effects on your HSC marks. We can't guarantee that it won't
affect unborn babies.
Are you a member of the Shore Science-Fiction Society '1
I.
If you answered yes, go away.
Have you at any time considered becoming a member of the
aforementioned "society" '1
If you answered yes, seek psychiatric hell).
(If you have made it this far, congratulations. You have at least an outside
chance of making it. -Ed.)
Name one good reason why you should he considered for membership
of the SWR committee?
For what position would you like to he considered?
Who is your favourite teacher and why ?
Who is your favourite SWR committee member and why?
Now, a well thought out, specially designed and highly complicated question
from a present SWR member.
M.C.M.
Explain why / why not you think that Mutt Groening's "The Simpsons" is
the only true representation of the times in which we live.

DEBATING
Last Friday Shore hosted the 60th anniversary of the Lawrence Campbell
Oratory Competition, in which each boy from the ten schools competing did
himself and his school credit. Jeremy Chase, our entrant, spoke on "The
remedy is worse than the disease", and impressed everyone in the audience.
The winner, David Yeo from Sydney Grammar School, was another fluent
and polished speaker. Supper in the foyer was a great occasion, with visitors
admiring the beautiful surroundings and the delicious food. Thanks must go
to the Shore staff and to the parents who helped make it such a successful
night.
Meanwhile, at St. Catherine's Waverley, the Year 7 and year 10 teams
retained their undefeated record. The Senior A and B teams were also
victorious, while the Years 8 and 9 just lost. This means that Years 7 and 10
go straight to the Grand Final, to be held at Sydney Grammar School on 16th
June. All is not lost with Year 8, who will debate in a semi-final against
Redlands tonight at Sydney Grammar School, commencing at 7.30 p.m.
At the same time, 12 teams will be visiting Riverview for our traditional
Term II social debate; junior debates commence at 7.00 p.m. and Years 9 - 12
at 8.00 p.m.
Next week, June 9th, 12 teams will be visiting Abbotiseigh at
Wahroonga for another social debate, leaving Shore at 6.20 p.m.

LUNCH HOUR CONCERT
A REVIEW
Thursday the 25th of May saw the Smith Auditorium come alivc with
the sounds of yet another brilliant Lunch Hour Concert. These entertaming
events are becoming the centre of the weekly school calendar, drawing large
crowds of enthusiastic connoisseurs and friends who revel in the display of
Shores musical depth. Last Thursdays concert was certainly such a display.
The first performer to take the stage was IV Form elective music
student Jonathon Lindsay who played "Sicilienne" from Flute Sonata No 2
by J.S. Bach on the alto saxophone. Jonathon has been learning for over
four years and displayed technical perfection and a mature interpretation of
this challenging piece. Second was a mellow and very professional
ensemble performance led by Anthony Davidson on piano, with Angus
Booth on flute. Daniel Schemmer on bass guitar and Michael Grace on
drums. They played Anthony's own arrangement of Gershwin's
"Summertime" which was assessed as part of Anthony's elective music
course. A saxophone duet was the third item, featuring Spencer Ivey on alto
saxophone and William Pearce on the big baritone saxophone. This was a
holding performance with amazingly tight ensemble, technical mastery and a
great feel for the swing "Tuxedo Junction". Next, Tom Lynar, accompanied
by Margaret Orchard. played 'Film 87' by Ramskill on the trumpet. Tom
has a brilliant tone and breathtaking dynamic range which shows off his five
years of experience on the instrument. The final item on the programme was
a rock duet with Anthony Cooper on electric guitar and Tim Clarke on
drums. They played an own composition, naiñed "Don't Play This While
Meditating" and ensured a fitting end to an entirely enjoyable concert.
There is more to come in the Term II Thursday Concert Series, which
is growing in popularity every week. Special mention must be made of Mrs
Goldie who created the concerts and does everything from compering to
finding performers, creating programmes, shoving pianos about the stage
and finding a SWR reviewer. It is as much Mrs Goldie as the performers
who make the Lunch Hour Concerts something not to be missed, so BE
THERE NEXT WEEK.

SHORE vs TAS
After two weeks of practice, a team was selected to shoot against TAS
last Saturday.
Both schools had trouble adjusting to the changing wind conditions, with
94.7 out of 100.20 recorded as the highest score of the day.
After the final detail of shooting TAS won by 28 points out of a possible
800.
The Shore team should be commended on their solid, consistent effort in
the first competition of the season.

CROSS-COUNTRY REPORT
Normanhurst Boys' High School were the hosts for the first cross-country
carnival for the season. The Shore team ran superbly, gaining individual 1st
places in every age group and winning all team events apart from the Ul3s.
What a great way to start off the season!
The 13s race was held over a 2km course, with Andrew Scanlan winning,
followed by Tom Miles 21st, Peter Billiet 22nd and Vijay Khurana 28th.
These first four finishes gained the team 3rd place.
The 14s' race, over a 3km course, was won by a rather fortunate and
tactical Dougal Parsons, with Michael Cocks in 5th, Tom Cehak in 15th and
Robert Hodgson in 20th place, taking this team to 1st place.
The next race for the l5s was a 4km course, won by Luke MeSpeerin
with James Craig 13th and Lachlan Campbell 17th. This team managed to
win even though they only had 3 runners!
Five kilometres was the length for the 16s' race, won by Boyd Martin,
with Jono Chambers 7th, Pat Mickan 10th and Andrew Leahy 12th. This
team also won its division, with some outstanding placings.
The Open race was also held on the 5km course. Callum Maclead won
the race in 15.52 with Pierre Kyme only 6 seconds behind - both pleasing
times over the hilly 5km. Aaron Marshall-McCormack was 13th, with
Geoff Watson in 24th, rounding off the first four, to make them the winning
team.
These results were very pleasing considering that many runners could not
compete due to illness (including myselt) and the team is showing promising
signs of being very competitive this season.

TAS vs SHORE - SATURDAY 27TH MAY
After the rugby world was shocked by the loss of the once mighty
Wallabies to the Springboks on last Thursday evening, the boys from
Armidale boarded the bus for the big smoke. No sooner did Saturday
morning come for the start of what must have been a long day for the lads
from T.A.S.
The Seconds or Reds as they identify themselves had a reasonably solid
victory winning 63-0. Soon to come was the moment when the First XV ran
Out led Out by an old face to the side James Freeman. With the backs ably led
by John Jeffreys at serum-half. The game started and the 1995 season was
alive and flowing well for the Shore boys with Harry Randle going in for a
very swift try. This was to set the scene for the match as Brendan Williams,
Tim Packman, James Freeman (2), Hugh KIem and Marcus Hanel all scored
skilful tries. Stuart Waugh chipped in with two very nicely struck
conversions.
The backs dominated but the forwards were given a bit of a workout
which will set them in good stead for the rest of the trial and GPS season. On
the whole the team played well taking into account the fact they had only
trained together only twice before.
Tomorrow the school will take on Barker in the annual clash. This year
we are at Northbridge so bring your thermos and picnic hamper or just buy a
sanger from the barbie on the eastern side of A ground. The First XV start at
3.15 p.m., the Second XV 2.00 pm, the Third XV 1.00 p.m. and the Fourth
XV at 12.00 p.m.
SHORE: 39 (J. Freeman 2, H. KIem, H. Randle, B. Williams, M. Hanel, T.

STATEMENT OF POLICY ON BULLYING
Definition:
Bullying is repeatedly and/or consciously hurting another individual or
group or making them feel uncomfortable.
I Sydney Church of England Grammar School is totally opposed to
bullying in all its forms - physical, emotional and verbal - because it is
alien to the School's Christian basis of care and concern for the well
being of other people.
2
The School encourages parents, staff and boys in the building of a
climate of respect and care of others.
3
The School endeavours to eliminate all forms of harassment in the
School.
4
The School seeks to utilise, extend and develop formalised systems of
pastoral care, reporting and discipline which are responsive to cases of
bullying when they arise.
S
While recognising that the School's first priority is to protect victims
of bullying, the School also provides support to reform those who
engage in bullying.

LETTER TO THE COMMITTEE
To the SWR Committee,
You bunch of wallys. We crilicise you on your spelling mistakes and yet
you cannot even spell Rikki's name right not Rilu. However I must say
thanks for your reply, it also proves that you guys have some morals!
Try harder!
from Bobby, C.C., Rikki, B.M.
P.S. Oh by the way J.E.C. your support for A.W.H.Y. is sickening. We
hate stereograms!
-
To whoever you are,
Morals have nothing to do with it. We simply wanted to make sure
everyone (not just you) understood the reason for the recent (alleged) decline
in quality of this publication.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to whinge about us for much longer,
since the present committee has only two weeks before handing on the torch.
After that, you'll have to wait at least another six months, when the New
Committee, having been made Patrons and Prefects, Captains of sport,
debating and music, and having failed their first three HSC Assessments, will
come to the sudden realisation that you are probably right. (Not that we are
saying that.)
A.W.H.Y.
P.S. Since we can't spell Rikki, we'll call you Dylan.
Your Turn
Part II
For those in Form V who missed last week's SWR, or were unaware of
the event, a new SWR Committee is in the process of being selected. In
addition to those appearing in last week's Record (5/6P5), replies are also
required for the following questions, designed to give you, the applicant, a
chance to show your practical worth in the "behind-thescenes" of the Record,
and possibly redeem yourself (yes Pickard, that means you).
I. This SWR which you are in the process of reading has many and various
errors, in that it is unedited. Although no meaning is lost by these errors,
they read badly and show poor use of the English language. Your task here
is to edit this SWR from cover to cover in red pen, circling typographical,
spelling, grammar and any other mistakes, and making the corrections
required in the margin where appropriate. Warning: do not go overboard with
commas, grammar or flattery. Superfluous corroborative details to add
artistic verisimilitude are not required. Nor are big words. Also, neatness,
despite the current condition of the floor in the SWR room, is a virtue.
2.Addaca
HISTORY OR SCIENCE, WHICH IS MORE RELEVANT?
If Mr. Chase is to stoop to the depths of amateurish misquoting in order
to prove a point, then it is time for this debate to stop. In Mr. Chases' title
last week he spoke of technocratic dreams, this involves by definition, the
restructuring of society by engineers and technologists. A terrible image of
thenovel 1984.
The quote ending in the Dies Irae last week is somehow meant to prove
that science is fabulous, and that I have said it is stupid, another tragic
misquote.
t havc never said that science is stupid, of course the pursuit of knowledge
is to be expected and technology has raised our standards of living. My
argument is not based on the terrible consequences of scientific error, the
untold damage it has done to our world but more on the relevancy of science.
A study of science is far less relevant to the bulk of the population and the
running of our world.
Take government, would you rather have laboratory experimentalists
making decisions about your life, or scholars of the humanities, people who
have been taught what people want, and have learned from the mistakes in
governing from their forefathers.
Science is as "a tool with which to till the earth" said Mr. Chase. This is
science's place, it is there to provide a tool to man with which to aid society,
it is not meant to be a means of creating society, it is but one small aspect of
life that the humanities examines. If science is a tool, then the humanities
are the world's Mitre 10 hardware store.
If Mr. Chase's article is meant to say that a pursuit of science is natural
and essential then he has succeeded. If he is trying to say it is more
important or relevant than history he has failed. In fact his only argument
against History was that it was boring. He quoted Northanger Abbey, a
novel by the romantic Jane Austin, as if she were some kind of authority in
this area. However it is interesting to note that one of the main characters,
the one it is accepted as representing the author's opinion, profoundly
supports a study of history. The character that finds it a bore is the highly
excitable and naive Catherine Morland.
The space race of the sixties is a good example of science's true place in
society. The point of the race was not improving living standards, but
simply a feat of scientific marvel. The billions of dollars did not go into
solving the world's problems, millions still starved to death in developing
countries as the Americans and Russians, overcome with the wonders of the
natural world, lost sight of what was really important. What was the true
motivation for landing a man on the moon? It was so it could down in
history as the first, an extreme price to pay in order that this element of
science could go down in history. The whole point was the glorification of
America, one people trying to assert their superiority over another, its true
motivation was in the field of humanities.
"Man is govemed by his history, because the main decisions made for him by
his political and social masters are based on beliefs, that what has happened in the
past is either correct and should be conserved, or is undesirable and should be
altered.
Most of the problems of contemporary society stem from the fact that man.
having concentrated his efforts upon apparently progressive endeavours, has
created new problems. In seeking higher standards of living he has perfected
massive industrial processes which destroy the environment and pollute both
water and atmosphere. In creating the conveniences of city life he has produced
urban overcrowding and the alienation of suburbia. Having contrived political
systems to protect the liberty of the individual, he has released a new tyranny in
the form of unreachable and, impersonal bureaucracies. In the 'pursuit of
happiness', he has all too often found misery and insecurity.
The problems of contemporary society are brith our heritage from the past and
our legacy to our successors. If we are t do anything about them we must identify
their origins, define their characteristics and devise means of countering their
deleterious effects.."
Tu tIe i..iagc peraon a knowledge of ocienco is incomplete, most high
school students will not put their learning into practice to the benefit of
science. But every person who has studied, even the most briefly, history has
learned of unrepeatable inistkes in life, as humans we are living proof of the
teachings of the humanities. The humanities are studies in life antI IILIIIIaIIs,
surely this is inoie ilsiportant than the chemical make up of a rock..
He spoke of "we" launching geostationary satellites, while the rich
nations will benefit from this technology, "we' here is a tiny minority of
highly specialised scientists working for 115 of the world's population. The
vast majority of the world does not benefit much from such scientific
marvels. The western world, caught up in dreams of power, has lost sight of
the real nature of life and the world.
Basically, history is a far more useful subject than science to the majority
of people, and in the most important cases an understanding of history is
more important than science.

HEADMASTER'S SELECTION
On Wednesday May 31st the Headmaster's Selection Variety Concert
enthralled a capacity audience in the Ken and Joan Smith Auditorium. A
feature of the experience was the strong sense of Shore community with
boys, old boys, parents, staff and friends of the school as participants. The
Headmaster set the informal, relaxed tone at the outset with an hilarious and
nostalgic revisiting of his own stage experience before introducing the
compere for the evening, the Captain of Music, Alex Yim. An at all time
composed Alex led the audience throughout the remainder of the evening. He
departed from this to perform item 5, the first movement of Ravel's Sonatina
for piano. This piece he played with a technical precision and remarkable
sensitivity.
Robert Fox, Musical Director, conducted the programme's opening and
closing items. Duke Ellington's It Don't Mean a Thing if it ain't got that
Swing and Ron Goodwin's Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines
got the show on the road with the Centenary Choir giving a spirited
performance, accompanied by the intrepid Margaret Orchard. Magnificent
Men was a crowd-pleaser which was helped along by percussionist, Don
Oshorn's antics adding a sense of the ridiculous in flying suit and with sound
effects a Ia Spike Jones and his Fire House Five!
Item 2 was Axel Jorgensen's Opus 21, Romance. Trombonist Brendan
Collins, accompanied by Dorrilyn Collins, on piano provided an easy mood
change in Jorgensen's piece. Brendan showed just how moving and resonant
an instrument the trombone can be, especially when partnered by Dorrilyn's
soaring violin.
Brendan was followed by an ever-smiling Albert Yung, who
communicated his enjoyment of the challenging Sonata in A Minor by
Vivaldi (the Preludio and contrasting Capriccio). His proficiency on violin
was awesome.
Albert was chased off stage, as it were, by the Prep Choir and Movement
Group who gave a delightfully gentle rendition of Kunm Ba Ya and a brassy,
glitzy evocation of Hats by Hank Beebe. Susan Sperber's choreography
provided lots of fun for the audience. As always Margaret Orchard had
prepared the Prep boys with her accustomed devotion and energy. Her skill
as an accompanist and ease of performance throughout the evening left one
spellbound.
Alex Yirn's magnificent piano sol has already been acknowledged. This
splendid item was followed immediately by a duet of two old boys, the Tam
brothers. Lyndon at piano and Roland on violin presented Lyndon's own
composition, An Iris/i Folk Tune, with exquisite skill and feeling - an
absolute gem of an item in a memorable evening of music jewels.
The seventh item showed off the skills of more old boys, Toby Duncan
(piano and vocals) and Martin Foord (bass guitar) presenting blues and jazz Georgia (Hoagy Carmichael) and Sum,nertinie (Gershwin). Of course, the
irrepressible Don Oshorn on drums made this the perfect trio producing mood
music with a pleasing balance and rhythm. At this gig the audience could
have foot-tapped the night away amid the auditorium's warm acoustics, if the
three had remained on stage.
Staff nsenihers Stephan Schafer (soprano saxophone and Marie-Louise
Catsalis (piano) both performed stirring solos. Stephan's Ravel was rich and
vibrant, Marie-Louise's Basso Ostinato by Schedrin vigorous and passionate.
There were two marvellous quartets - a string quartet comprising Philip
Orchard, Wade Johnston, Paolo l-Iooke and Jeremy Chase and a vocal quartet
with Peter Butchatsky, Sandy Godfrey, Matthew Gow and Duncan Rintoul.
The latter harmonised beautifully with Billy Joel's Anything Goes showing
evidence of their long acquaintance with Ian Alhertson's Chamber Choir and
the string quartet did Bach with great relish.
When the orchestra presented Rodriguez's La Comparsita (from Guys and
Do/Is ) many must have reflected on how significant it is for Shore at last to
have a fully viable orchestra. Under Robert Fox's baton they possess a
sureness of touch and a boldness of tone affording the Sort of grand sound
which must surely make it one of the more noteworthy school orchestras in
Sydney.
The show ended with the Centenary Choir's moving rendition of God of
our Fathers which followed a stirring orchestral introduction. Choir and
orchestra combined superbly and there it was - perfect harmony on stage
where all sections of the entire Shore community were represented. Just the
thing to reflect upon when supper was served by House manager, Tony
Godden, in the foyer at the end of a delightful evening.
Patrons should ensure that they do not miss future musical events. There
are still some good seats available for tonight's Australian Chamber
Orchestral performance and also there are still tickets available for the Sydney
Youth Orchestra on June 17 and the Sydney Allstar Jazz Orchestra's jazz
extravaganza on July 18.

FAR WEST OLD BOYS' BOARDING EXHIBITION
The Far West Old Boys' Group funds an Exhibition for a boarder entering
Vth Form. The Exhibition will continue with the recipient through the Vlih
Form.
The value of the exhibition is $500 per annum and takes the form of a
remission of fees to this value.
Eligibility will require that a boy be deserving of the Exhibition, taking
into account the efforts made by him in contributing to various dimensions
of school or hoarding life. It might also include consideration of financial
circumstances. The exhibition seeks to give recognition to a boy whose
level of contribution is of a high order, and will seek to recognise amongst
other things the degree of commitment made.
Boys presently in IVth Form who wish to apply should submit their
names, together with a letter explaining their suitability for the award. A
supportive letter from a parent will be required. Submissions should be
appropriately headed, and given to the Headmaster's Secretary no later than
Thursday 22nd June.

.baq. What a wonderful nation, full of excitement! Can we please go
there? Iraq is an interesting country. In 1991 Saddam Hussein and his forces
were routed by the collective strength of the UN. However, due to the large
cost, the US is unlikely ever to intercede in such a conflict again wsless oil
is at stake.
The UN relies on a system whereby countries give up some of their
power in order that the world can be governed by an international body.
In the year 2005 this policy failed. The small and little known nation of

DEBATING
Anyone who thinks debating lacks the finesse of rugby, the skill of soccer
and the violence of chess should have been at Sydney Grammar School last
Friday to watch the Shore Year 8 team take on Riverview. Negating 'That
we have less time", Shore managed the best "even if' (an extremely risky
manoeuvre) I have ever seen, and defeated the very good Riverview team.
This means they go into the second semi-final at SCECGS Redlands this
evening. If they win, they will join the Year 7 and Year 10 teams in the
Grand Final, to beheld at Sydney Grammar School on Friday, June 16. This
will provide a superb night of thrills, excitement, and the opportunity to win
several trophies. Of course we are not in it to win, but nevertheless... The
Year 7 and 8 debates will commence at 7.30 p.m., while the Year 10 debate
will commence at 8.30 p.m. We would appreciate a strong Shore presence to
encourage our boys - this is the first time we have entered the ISDA and have
found the competition very enjoyable.
Meanwhile several other teams from our same stable cantered over to
Riverview for our traditional pre-season social debate. The 813s, 8As, 9As
and 913s won, while the others were lacking in that final polish but debated
well. Tonight they go to Abhotsleigh for another social debate. Then next
term we leap straight into the GPS season, our first debate being against
Sydney High School at High. Do not be surprised therefore when your sons
tell you the day before that they somehow have to be transported across the
water. We will try to tell boys before the end of this team if they will be
debating that first night, but it is not always easy to choose teams too far
ahead.
Meanwhile (again) Angus Dorney represented the school in the
Metropolitan North Region semi-final of the Sydney Morning Herald Plain
English Speaking Competition. At the time of going to press the result is
not known.

LUNCH HOUR CONCERT
REVIEW
The magnificent, air-conditioned facilities of 'The Kcii and Joan Smith
Auditorium" once again played host to a very talented, dedicated and
experienced group of musicians; this week in the form of the VIth form 3
unit music students. This concert, on the very mild first day of winter,
gave them yet another opportunity to perform in front of a live audience
and on this occasion they were performing their ensemble, or group
pieces.
First on the program was Michael Dotch, a piano/keyboard player, with
not only twelve years experience behind him, but also the Guru of the bass
guitar, Rod Frost and the Larry man, Nathan Hemsworth on drums. The
piece they played was called "The Smooth Groove" and was written by
Rod Frost. Next to hit the hallowed stage was Matthew Gow playing
"Javanaise" Claude BoIling's "Suite for Flute and Piano" Matthew has
been playing the flute now for eight years or so and has completed AIvIIEB
grade seven on the flute. For this performance, Matthew was
accompanied by Marie-Louise Catsalis on piano, Mark Harris (from the
Conservatorium of Music) on double bass and Nick Duggan from form IV
elective music on drums. Matthew's rendition of this piece left the
audience in doubt that he was totally in control the whole way and had
the whole way and had enough musical talent to 'show' himself off in an
excellent fashion.
After the jazzy flute piece from Matthew, the audience was treated to a
performance by probably the best pianist in the school. I am talking about
none other than the Captain of Music himself, Alexander Yim. For this
concert. Alex had chosen to play the first movement of Ravel's "Sonatine"
and boy did he play it well. Although the piece was not technically
difficult (for someone of Alex's capabilities anyhow!) it required a lot of
feeling and that's exactly what Alex gave it.
There is an old cliche which says "They saved the best 'till last' and
those people who were at the concert would find it hard to disagree. The
performer was Rod Frost. The piece was "So What' by Miles Davis and
again, Michael Dotch and Nathan Hemsworth were playing along with
Rod, and 'playing along' is really the best way to describe it. What I mean
is that sometimes you see kids in these concerts who really don't look they
want to be up on the stage, but these guys were having a great time and
really adding their own touch to the piece.
A big thank-you to all the people who came along to the concert and
we hope to see you returning to many more Lunch-Hour Concerts in
future, and next time with your friends!.

TIPS
Give your pet the home it deserves with the creative and not-so-far-out
homes in Making Pet Houses, Carriers, and other Projects
(690.89 Sel). As well as dog house designs, there are cat houses (pet style),
sleeping boxes, pens, and carriers. The first three chapters are expository,
giving vital information on building materials and building techniques. The
three appendices give information on useful woods, and classify various types
of wood according to gluing properties. The book gives the prospective pet
house builder a wide variety of designs- including pictures and step by step
instructions- making it a very useful guide.
(778.9 Row), as well as
The Art of Adventure Photography
giving the photographer key tips on goals, preparations and realisations, this
book contains numerous exotic photos. It is a book that would come in
extremely handy to a photographer trying to capture adventure shots and help
to make his photos look great.
Hitler's Henchmen (Q943.086 Cap) tells the inside story of the Third
Reich, looking at the roles of Hitler's associates. The book gives accounts of
Joseph Goebbels, Hermann Goring, Heinrich Himmler, Albert Speer, Alfred
Rosenberg, and even Eva Braun, as well as a few others. Each person's role
in the actions of Nazi Germany are accounted for, and a brief history of each
is given. The book has many photos which adds another dimension to the
information.

CROSS-COUNTRY
Parramatta Park was the venue for the Barker/Knox Cross Country race.
The course was flat and grassy, with 1.5km laps. The competition was more
intense than last week, as this was the first of the regular races of the season.
The U 14's race started at 10:00 and consisted of 2 laps of the course.
Dougal Parsons was the first Shore runner to finish with a creditable 6th
place.
The U 16's race followed over 3 laps. Luke McSpeerin finished 2nd by
only 7 seconds in a great time of 16:15 for the 4.5km. Pat Mickan had a
superb run to finish in 5th, with Boyd Martin also running well with a 6th
place.
The course lengthened to 4 laps for the Opens. The first 2 laps saw a
large lead 'bunch' of about 15 runners, due to the relatively slow pace. The
start of the third lap saw Callum Macleod and Pierre Kyme surge away,
which instantly broke up the pack. They kept increasing their lead until the
finish with Callum just 2 seconds ahead of Pierre for the 6km course in
21:06. Aaron Marshall-McCorrnack had a great run with a 7th placing and
Geoff Watson, after a slow start, kept gaining places to finish in 14th.
Angus Mackellar, although completing 3 of the 6 kilometres, finished a
"gutsy" effort in 22nd place.
Shore won the teams in each age group, showing similar signs of last
year's successful season. Tomorrow's race at Centennial Park starts at 9am
and is also the C.I.S. Selection Race.

have still to be claimed. Enquiries to the Development Office on 956 1172.
RUGBY REPORT
On Saturday the boys from Shore displayed very skillful and fast games
of Rugby with only one opposition try being scored on A ground all day.
Solid victories were had by teams from the 16As to the Firsts on the main
oval.
The Second XV ran on just on two o'clock. They displayed great skill in
defeating the Barker Second XV. They were ably led by John Pickhaver who
later went on for the First XV. The Seconds have started the season very
strongly and some say it's the introduction of the English technique of
playing, being iiiuodued by 'vIi . P. Dewcy who is on an exchange program
from Rugby School in England. Mr. R.A. Morrison has relinquished his
First XV coaching position to have a year in England showing the old enemy
how the game should he played.
The First XV, led by Marcus Hand, came on fired up to take on what
looked like a bigger stonger team in the hacks and forwards. However from
the outset of the match this didn't stop the Shore side. From the first whistle
Shore was on the attack. After about ten minutes of good pressure rugby by
the Shore XV it looked as if the tight five consisting of Adam Hill, Ben
McRae, Chris Northam, Derek Burrows and Josh Stuart were getting on top
of their bigger opposition. The hacks were running the ball wide and it
wasn't too long until Marcus Hanel took the ball and used his strength to
crash over for Shore's first try. The next try to come was almost the same,
with Tim Packman taking the ball from quick movement through the
backline. Tim saw a gap, pinned his ears hack, and scored.
Barker managed to get a try and penalty goal in before the halftime break
but the Shore side went to the break leading 12 points to 8.
The Second halt resumed with the Shore hackline continuing to get to the
advantage through quick ball from halfback John Jeffreys and five eighth
Hugh Kleni. Shore dominated the match from start to finish with the centre
pairing of Jim Blakeney and Tim Packman working well together. The loose
forwards Phil Waugh, James Freeman and Marcus Hanel were very effective
at the breakdown and also quick around the field. The wingers Harry Randle
who scored another try for the season and Brendan Williams proved to be
great assets to the team showing great enthusiasm in their play.Fullhack
Michael Mesley had a strong game as a newcomer to the side. Hanel scored
the Ilnal try 01 the game and Shore won 22 to 8.
This week the school is playing one of the strongest CAS outfits. This
week we are playing Knox Grammar School at Knox so if you can get down
to Warrawee it would help inspire all our teams to greater efforts.
R.J. Bunting
SOCCER REPORT
Over the past few weeks the 1st XI has played a number of matches.
These included Trinity (0-1), St. Spyridon (1-4), Moriah (2-3) and last
Saturday we played Barker (2-6). Trinity last year defeated the Firsts 8-0. St
Spyridon are the current Independent Cup holders and were expected to notch
up double figures while Barker are tipped by some to win the CAS
competition this year. Tim Howard scored a rather outstretched goal against
St. Spyridon while Marcus Brauer and Andrew Pyni scored against Moriah.
Saturday saw a damp pitch become quite tricky to play on as showers
early in the day left the playing surface very slippery. The standard of play
was high still though despite the conditions. The wet made slide tackles that
much easier and the defence were able to literally throw themselves at the
ball. This however did not take place in the opening few minutes of the
game as the first Barker attack led to a goal due to loose marking inside the
box. Shore dominated in some phases of play however no score was to added
to the Shore total as the Barker defence was working effectively.
Unfortunately the Shore defence was not working as effectively and another
two goals were added to the Barker total before the break.
After the break the Shore game seemed to pick up. After several attacks
by Barker they scored with the smaller of their two strikers wrapping himself
around the post after making a successful header. The score was now 4-0 to
Barker. Shore lifted despite the goal and Rory Agro" Bestic made a break
down the left side of the field. He launched the ball at great speed toward the
goal, but only to have it hit the post and go past a flat out Tim Howard. All
was not lost though as Marcus Brauer came through to the nail the ball into
the hack of the net while the Barker keeper was on the ground and did not
know what was going on.
After a pile up in front of the Shore goal a few minutes later the Barker
strikers managed to score once again. The rest of the second half saw evenly
matched play. The highlight of the match though was when Toby laccarino
from around 35 metres out smashed the ball with his well used right foot
past the diving Barker keeper into the top left of the net. This had the score
at 5-2. This was only to change when the Barker captain made a run up the
left of the field after a fast break in the last minute of the game. Despite the
efforts of the covering Shore hacks he put a shot on goal which went in the
corner despite the dive of Rob Lee in goal. A.J.E.P.

The Easter holidays had passed slowly for the SWRman. Due to the
impending threat of exams, our hero had spent the vast majority of the
holidays revising the little he had learnt and trying to learn a great deal more
than was superhumanly possible. But due to his superhuman ability to
forget what little he actually revised overnight, the SWRman had little, if
any progress. He decided a new tactic was needed to combat the ever present
forgetfulness and sheer lack of interest. He also decided to sleep on it. For a
night. Or two. Or, like some of the "I'll be right" theorem followers, he
just put it off until the last day of the holidays, which just happened to be
Anzac Day.
In one of his study breaks on this day, he wandered outside to speak with
his grandfather, SlJWman. This happened to be quite a long break, as
SWRman's grandfather began to recall old war stories, and being the polite
person that he is, he listened intently for a great deal of the day. He did
manage to get a little study done that night, but he found that he could
remember what his grandfather had said about WWl rather than the 2U Maths
that he was concentrating on. Ever so slightly disheartened by his sheer lack
of knowledge, he went to bed at 4.00 am, in order to gain what little sleep
he could.
The exams came and went and somehow, through sheer luck, some
addition errnrs and prohahly some sympathy votes as weti, the SWRman
passed all his exams, except Maths, but no one had passed the advanced
integration test that had been set for his 21.) class. He was also helped a great
deal by the topics set, and some inspired marking.
So what is the message that this most interesting and comical episode of
the SWRman's life tells us? Perhaps that putting off the inevitable can be
beneficial? Or that exams are really a test of luck rather than knowledge? Or
perhaps that we should all "lighten up"? We can't say no to C-C's? Can you
think of a better way to start the day? In all seriousness, what we can learn
rom the SWRman's adventure is that people such as SUWman actually
know a great deal and should be listened to, as those who have seen a great
deal of time go by can help us to pass exams.

LUNCH HOUR CONCERT
Thursday, 8th June, 1995
A Review
After a late start due to Assembly, and an initially small audience, the
sccond last Lunch Hour Concert for Term 11 didn't fail to draw the usual
hoards of newfound music-lovers. Within minutes of starting, the audience
in the Stitith Auditorium had quadrupled in size to well over a hundred, and
throughout the concert, numbers continued to grow.
The first performer was the Vith Form trumpeter Malcolm McDonald,
playing Theionius Monk's "Round Midnight". Mr. Dorich's Stage Band
provided an excellent backdrop for the piece— a wash of sound through which
the trumpet pierced with every note. Malcolm's performance was at all times
controlled, with a mastery of rubato. and an excellent aural communication
with the hand. His whole presence radiated confidence - he moved with the
music, treating it with his smooth and elegant "late-night bar" style.
The Form III String Quartet was next, with their debut item, "Variations
on an English Folk Tune - Early One Morni,tg". Consisting of Albert Yung
(Violin I), Ian Watson (Violin II), Chris Wotton (Viola) and Adam Rollason
(Violoncello), it was a commendable, although initially reserved, performance
that improved as it progressed. The pizzicato section of the piece was very
well-handled. Such Sections can often be a nightmare for string groups with chords sounding more like extended arpeggios - but this ensemble was
spot on, and they held themselves together well.
The next group, also a String Quartet, comprised of Wade Johnson,
Phillip Orchard, Paolo Hooke, and, standing in for Jeremy Weight as 'cellist,
Jeremy Chase. From the outset, it was a convincing performance, with a
confident and assertive Wade Johnson leading the group for the well-known
"Badinerie" by Johann Sebastian Bach. The well-phrased melody shone
through, and the Baroque terraced dynamics were precisely executed.
The finale came in the form of the VIth Form Rock Ensemble: Maxim
Stockard on lead guitar, Rod Frost on bass and Nathan Hemsworth on drums
(and cymbals). After some incipient confusion over whether the lead was
plugged in, the group got off to a charismatic start (to the whistles and cheers
of the audience). They performed an original composition, "Drea,n world", for
Maxim's music assessment, and from its commencement, all three were
comfortable with the technical demands of the music. Particularly in the fast
solo sections, both Rod and Max demonstrated excellent control, continually
and successfully relating their performance back to Nathan's indomitable drum
heat. A great stage presence kept the audience involved throughout.
In all, the concert turned out to be yet another great success (as has come
to be expected of the Lunch-time Concert Series). With a good variety of
styles and genres represented - jazz, traditional, classical, and rock - the
concerts have come a long way since those humble beginnings in 1991.
They're certainly an indication of the current direction and status of music at
Shore.
A.W.H.Y.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Mr. McIntosh, Vth Form English:
"Brig/st people tend to think the whole world revolves around the earth."
THE SWRMAN IN: '44 REVISITED
There was trouble. Early one morning our hero had ventured deep into
the heart of enemy territory on a reconnaissance mission. After the initial
infikration, the SWRman had hidden himself under the ever present chairs
and bookshelves that inhabit the forbidden region. Waiting until the ranks
had filled the room, he began to listen to the secret meeting. Herr Manfree
had the chair.
"We are having many problems!" (Note: Speech has been translated into
rudimentary English. Some of the incomprehensible babble that this group
of people speak can hardly be understood by the common schoolboy.)
"What is it, herr führer. We have absolute control in our region. No one
dares to oppose us. The fatherland is free of refuse, the uniforms of our
military are perfect and even the consumption of food in verboten places is
minimal," the most upstanding of the under officers, herr Tinsau, questioned.
"Yes, yes. In this I am in agreement. The problem is that in this state
that we live in, although we have a great deal of power, and rule over a great
many, we still cannot control that which hurts us most, the thing that can
cause us a great deal of trouble, that cuts off at the roots ... is still a
problem." (I think I lost a little in the translation, and as my hiding place
was deeper into the rubble, which they called a coat rack, than the
SWRman's, he had a greater ability to hear the conversation hanging off the
60 watt globe.)
"Well, what is it?" we chorused in deadly unison.
"It's that si ..." His response was cut abruptly short by a powerful
explosion that shook the nearby Gatorade bottles and flipped our hero around
on his hanging light globe like a cricket ball when Warney lets it rip. As
the dust settled, the three conspirators huddled together for mutual protection.
"I told you nothing could hurt the man of steel." (Again I feel that the
translation is a touch inadequate. A dictionary definition directed me towards
"soft lead" or in an extreme case "jelly" but I believe that the conspirators had
more respect for the man than that.)
"Who was the cause of this monstrosity?" Herr Manfree raged, towering
to his full six feet.
"Maybe it was an act of God?" And they all looked up, and there,
amongst a blinding light. (maybe it was a 100 watt globe after all) was the
SWRman. Thus the SWRman became an immortal, and has become revered
amongst the schoolboys and the SS alike. You may see him around
somewhere, with an aura of self importance around him. Stop, and bow
down to the immortal,

DEBATING
Last Friday night the Shore Year 8 team, debating in their second semifinal in the ISDA Debating Competition, defeated Wenona to join Years 7
and 10 in the Grand Final! Debating a very difficult topic - "That people
would rather have guns instead of butter" - against a very spirited and clever
team from Wenona, Shore convinced the adjudicators that their team had the
stronger line, and thus gave us three teams in the Grand Final.
This Grand Final will be held tonight at Sydney Grammar School. It is
still not too late to cancel any other engagements you may have, and spend
an enjoyable hour listening to the Shore teams grappling with some
outstanding opponents. The standard of debating in this competition has
been very high all season, and our boys will debate even better if they have
some support from their home school. Years 7 and 8 commence debating at
7.30 p.m., while Year ID commence at 8.30 p.m.
The Year 7 team comprise Owen Cooper, David Cubbin, John Henderson
and John-Paul Lumsdaine, Year 8: Nikos Andronicos, James Bertouch, Andre
Leslie and James Lumsdaine and Year 10: David Braun, Simon Chambers,
Andrew Johnston and James Young.
While some of us were at the semi-final, other faithful debating staff and
twelve teams of debaters visited Ahbotsieigh for an evening of social debates.
The Firsts, Thirds, lOAs, lOBs, 9As, 813s and 8As all won.
Next term we begin the GPS season, our first debate being on Friday 21st
July against Sydney High School at High. Because school does not resume
until Tuesday 18th July, boys will receive short notice regarding team
selection, but we will try to do as much as we can before the end of this
term. For the benefit of new parents, we debate on Friday nights the school
against which we play sport the next day. If the matches are played at Shore
then the debates will he away, and vice versa. We are always grateful for help
with supper, and are indeed renowned for the quality of our comestibles,
especially the Vice-Captain's scones.
Angus Dorney spoke very well indeed at the Metropolitan North final of
the Plain English Speaking Award. This year, for the first time, there is to
he a Junior Plain English Award, and on 18th July James Bertouch and
Richard Howard will be representing Shore.

Last Saturday's cross-country race was held by High, at Centennial Park.
There were more competitors than usual, because it was also the Combined
Independent Schools selection race. The qualifiers had to finish within the
top ten GPS runners, which made the race fast and competitive. The course
consisted of 2km laps and was relatively flat with only a couple of small
hills, and scattered pockets of sand.
The U 14's race kicked off at 9:00 and consisted of a fast 2km lap of the
course. Dougal Parsons was the first Shore runner to finish, coming home in
6th place. Close behind were Andrew Scanlan and Michael Cocks, finishing
in 11th and 12th place respectively.
The U 16's race followed over 2 laps. After leading for the first lap. Luke
McSpeerin finished second, with Boyd Martin just behind in 3rd place.
The opens race was over 6 km, and the first lap saw a bunch of about 12
runners formed with a break-away out the front. The pack slowly thinned
out as runners started dropping off the pace. Callum Macleod was the first
Shore runner home in 2nd place with Pierre Kyme 3rd. Next in was Rob
Ayers in 9th position and Aaron Marshall-McCormack in 12th.
Next week's race's are being held by Shore at Macquarie Uni, starting at 9
am. The NSW Independent Schools Cross-country race is being held in the
afternoon, on the same course.

Shore Weekly Record
RUGBY REPORT
A small crowd of diehard Shore rugby supporters gathered at Knox on
Saturday to see the humble Shore XV take on Knox.
The Knox XV went into the match as clear favourites after gaining a draw
against the formidable St Joseph's XV.
As the Knox team went onto the field with the bagpipes playing, I was
taken aback by their size. Their two second rowers were about 200cm tall
and would have weighed about 100kg.
There were a few changes to the Shore team, with John Pickhaver
moving into the second row with Derek Burrows back in the second XV.
Also Doug Walker returned to the front row after recovering from injury.
The back line had been reshuffled after the previous week's performance
against Barker. Stewart Waugh returned as fullback, as Michael Mesley
moved to the wing. Hockey, moved to the centres, replaced Jim Blalceney.
The first half began with Knox placing much pressure on Shore. Shore
struggled with lineouts, with the Knox tall timber dominating possession.
Knox posted the first points, taking them Out to an early lead. However the
innovative Shore bounced back with James Freeman barging over the line for
a fine try. This was converted to give Shore the lead.
This set the crowd alight, as Shore fans burst into the familiar tune of
Aroo-chi-cha.
By half time Knox had gained the lead after their fullback had run in two
tries.
During the second half the Shore pack began to get on top of their larger
opponents who were starting to tire.
Mid way through the half Phil Waugh scored a solid try to bring Shore
within six points, inspiring the team to play a quick game of running
Rugby, reach for victory in the last seven minutes.
However the Knox scorers somehow realised an error in the score, with a
Knox conversion uncounted, thus after the correction, the game was out of
Shore's reach, with the game eventually going to Knox, 3 1-24.
The back row of Freeman, Waugh and Hanel all played well as did the fly
half, Hugh KIem. Shore played very well, but have a hard task in front of
them if they are to win the GPS competition. The Knox game was an
excellent warm up for the standard of the GPS competition, commencing
after the upcoming holidays.

SOCCER REPORT
The school soccer teams were as usual for this time of year up against
Knox. The Ul4As and UI6As both had solid games after backing up from
rare but deserved wins over Barker. The First XI had an interesting game on
the undersized Gillespie pitch and the inexperienced officials helped no one.
The opening few minutes were dominated by Shore and once the rapid
movement of the hail had been established through crisp passes by the entire
learn. Knox were simply outplayed. Several Shore raids on the Knox goal
had been unsuccessful while the Shore backs shut down any fast movements
up the field that Knox tried. As the first half was coming to an end the backs
moved the ball wide to Richie Harpur on the right wing. Richie who missed
the last match against Barker through illness then went on a little run up the
sideline. The emphasis on little sums it up well as the Knox defence closed
in Richie chipped the ball into the centre. Rory Bestic came storming
through. The Knox keeper was slow to move on to the ball. Rory moved
in, and with finesse never seen before, tapped the ball with the top of his
forehead. The ball then went over the keeper and into the back of the net.
Shore were ahead 1-0 and the absolutely huge crowd (it was huge compared to
what it had been, but then again anything is big when compared to nothing)
went wild. The referee in his very stylish track suit pants then signalled half
time.
Mr. Roberson then had everyone in for the intense half time talk.
Unfortunately, the part of being careful just after the break did not sink in
enough. Very soon after the start of the second half the Shore backs found
themselves outnumbered at the back with the midfield not being able to drop
quick enough. Unfortunately one pass led to another for Knox and they
scored. It was now I - I. Now that Shore was running downhill the attack
became easier. A few minutes after the Knox goal a very nice cross came
from Rory Bestic on the right wing across the Knox goal mouth. Trent
Rogers was waiting at the far post and leapt into the air. The ball was
slammed towards the top left hand corner of the goal off his forehead.
Unfortunately it was a few centimetres too close and it hit the inside of the
post. The Knox keeper who had flung himself across in a vain effort to stop
the ball knocked it away off the rebound. The rest of the game was evenly
matched with Shore coming close to scoring again and so did Knox on only
one or two occasions. The other highlight was Hamish Anderson giving
concussion to a Knox attacker perfectly legally. While no harm was intended
the player had to be helped from the field. He was even put Out of the indoor
competition on the Monday. The final score was I-I against Knox last
Saturday.
Last Monday, some members of the 1st XI with sonic help from
Christian Luxton and Sam Ford contested the Combined Independent Schools
Indoor Competition. Shore made it through to the Quarter finals on goal
averages after beating Scots comprehensively 2-0. The tight defence which
had seen Shore get that far went missing in the Quarter final which cost them
a place in the semi. However the first win of the season had been attained
which was the most important thing to come out of the day.

COMMITTEE
EDITORIAL
Well, this is it. This will be the last Shore Weekly Record that the
Record Committee 1994495 will produce. At the time of writing the
identities of our replacements were not yet known but the job will be left to
them as of the first Record of next term. I therefore dedicate this Record to
our committee and to the year that was.
So, let's look back on the year that passed while we were 'in power' (of
what, you may ask).
Internationally, the Oklahoma bombing and the releasing of nerve gas in
Tokyo's and Yokohama's subways stole the headlines, the world celebrated
the 50th anniversary of the end of World War Two and, more recently,
earthquakes rocked both Russia and Japan.
In Australian politics we saw the changing of the guard at the head of the
Federal Liberal Party as John Howard took over from Alexander Downer. In
N.S.W., Bob Carr took over from "Jumping" John Fahey as Premier. The
French decision to resume nuclear testing in the South Pacific was greeted
with hostility world wide, and Perth was no exception, as the French
Consulate was bombed. Speaking of consulates, was that us who bugged the
Chinese one in Canberra? Shame, shame, shame.
In sport, the Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada saw Australians
pick up an unbelievable 87 gold medals. The Australian Cricket team picked
up the Ashes again but, more impressively, won the Frank Worrell Trophy
from the West Indies in the Carribean. The World Cup soccer in the U.S.A.
saw Brazil run Out winners and Maradona kicked out, a loser. Now the two
powers of world rugby are to clash in the World Cup final in South Africa.
A little closer to home. Here at school we have seen some fantastic
performances too. At the Head of the River Shore won five of six, as if you
didn't already know. The SWR covered the cross-country team's great victory
and undefeated season. We reported on some great performances in
basketball, cricket, shooting and surf life saving (to name a few), as well as
some successes from a team of skiers who all happen to be Shore boys.
We reported upon the fantastic Guys and Dolls performance, the first of
its type in the new Smith Auditorium, and showed you photos of what may
turn out to be the last ceremonial of all time (sob, sob).
John Colebrook's death last year was felt by us all, and we remember him
fondly.
All this was accompanied each week by some memorable, (some may say
forgettable), pieces of journalism. Celebrity slam dunks and bench presses
made the unlikely possible (thank you Mr. Gorham) and Alex Yim's
stereograms were a hit. How he does it we still don't know. The Gourmet
Guru outlined the culinary delights of North Sydney, the SWRman stood for
truth, justice and the Shore way, and the frequent toastings of the Shore
Science-Fiction Society gave us that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. The Bookie
passed on the torch to his younger brother, who still believes that Gary
Larson is dead, while we filled many a space by killing some of Larson's
cartoons.
Mixed with pictorials, quotes of the week, careers updates (whoopee-doo),
and the all too occasional piece of journalistic talent (the editorials, I mean) it
made for a publication and a year that I hope you have enjoyed as much as we
have.
I'm sorry, but for all those with weak stomachs, please read no further,
I'm likely to get all soppy and over emotional.
I would like to thank the committee for their efforts in contributing to
and in producing the Record this year. It was, I know, often time consuming
but always, I think you would all agree, a very rewarding and satisfying
episode of our lives. I was grateful for the privilege to be able to contribute
to what is the oldest school publication in the southern hemisphere and
probably one of the best.
I wish the new committee the best of luck as we hand them on the torch,
and I urge them to continue to keep it burning ever brightly.
On that note I sign off, forever. Thanks again.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
Why is it that every time you see a numeral in print, it is followed by the
corresponding number in brackets. Could it be that only about 3 (three)
people care? Or is it for the 1 (one) person who cannot read numerals, and
has survived thus far doing HSC mathematics by writing out the words for
numbers?
For example, not so many weeks ago, "5 (five) umbrellas were left at the
school rugby dinner". Thank goodness for that little parenthesis (little
bracket thing). I thought there were S umbrellas left.
THE SHARP
AN OBITUARY
For some time now, in fact since year nine, The Sharp have been the
ultimite band in my eyes. I've never mentioned it in print before, and I never
shall again. With six (6) consecutive top 20 hits, they were good. But they
have unfortunately split. Which is bad
It was fantastic to see young Australians doing stupid things with double
basses. No really, it was. With highly successful tours in Germany and
Australia, not to mention shopping malls and dingy pubs, they created a cult
following bordering on that of the SSS (Social Suicide Society, alias Sad
Sorry and Spent).
Now they are no more (if only we could say the same for the SSS).
Fortunately for those of us with well developed musical taste, they will
continue under another name. Look out for anything credited to Allan Catlin,
Charlie Rooke or Piet Collins, and buy it, if you can fight away the crowds.
Viva Ia Sharp.
PS: Pete, I'm a better fan than you.

D.W.M.R.
THE SWRMAN IN: WHERE'S TOSHI NOW?
After countless exhausting hours of exercise upon exercise of conies and
harder induction questions, the SWRman looked up. His eyes took a minute
to focus on the, not surprisingly, full board of notes that is so synonymous
with this type of work. A laugh of contempt came from the guru Out the
front and he mumbled something about IfetaI and tucked his tie in. Dazed and
confused, and somewhat disgruntled with the thought of having to write notes
again, the great man turned to speak to his esteemed class mates.
But alas, something was amiss! Was it the fact that everyone was still
awake, and already five minutes of the period had passed? Unusual, I grant
you, but there was something even stranger than that. It seemed something
was missing. Within minutes the SWRman's brain started up (all it had
needed was a bit of choke) and a few minutes after that he realised what the
matter was. Incisively, and with his traditionally efficient use of the English
language, he said "Where's Ozaki?"
With this thought in mind, the classroom was thrown instantly into
disarray. Laughter surrounded our superhero. "Why are they laughing?" he
thought.
"We have a missing person on our hands here, and that's a serious
matter!" he said calmly, superheroically.
After sanity had been reintroduced into proceedings, the BOOFman, long
time friend and intellectual sparring partner of the SWRman, stated plainly
"Why don't you go and search for him?"
And, with that thought, the search was on for young and old, and Toshi.
The SWRman has sworn he will never stop searching until Toshi's
whereabouts are known and his absence from class explained.
His search has been meticulous to say the least. Starting with room
1206, including both its bin and recycling box, the search has grown into a
massive operation. All superheroes in the school have been torn away from
their other commitments and the search has been given AAA+ priority. The
SWTman has given up his love column and bag carrying commitments. The
SSSman, a short, podgy Third Former, has also renounced his
"Entertainment" organisation to search for the missing student. Even the Sman has come out of retirement and has gone undercover on this case.
To make matters worse, other students have disappeared from the same
room. Sightings of the missing have been reported by a man, calling
himself Frank, in room 1208. This has prompted speculation as to the
possibility of the existence of a "Bermuda Trapezoid" in the room and has
attracted the attention of FBI agents Molder and Scully, who are equally
baffled by these spooky disappearances.
So if you see a dejected looking superhero (his underpants will be outside
his trousers) carrying a magnifying glass, please don't hesitate to approach
him if you have any information as to the whereabouts of Ozaki or any of the
other missing persons. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
M.C.M.
THE BLACK AND WHITE OF SHADES OF GREY
Considering the way some people make decisions, they might as well not
be made at all. Advertising and the advice of friends influences us to such a
degree that uninfluenced decision making has become a thing of the past.
However what I would like to leave you with, as the last on the list of
articles bearing my name, is one important decision which must be made, by
you, right now.
The question is this: Are you a sheep or a goat?
In practical terms, it comes down to this: If you died today and found
yourself before your maker, and were asked why you deserved entry into
heaven, what would you say? Actually, what you would say at that point
would be immaterial because what affects your eternal neighbourhood has
already been decided by you. If you know Jesus, or more importantly, Jesus
knows you, then your are in. If, however, you are unknown to Jesus, it
would be too late to change that by then, and you would find yourself on an
express elevator to hell, going down .
What's that I hear? Cries for "justice"? No-one told you? Having lived
in the Shore community for any length of time, this excuse is not one you
can use.
Fortunately for you, lucky SWR reader, you are not dead. This leaves
you with one very important decision to make.
God made the world under him and his rules. We threw that rule book out
the window, taking over the reigns, alienating ourselves from God, and
earning ourselves a place in hell for our efforts, as God cannot stand to have
imperfection in his sight. But (and this is the most important but in history)
God, in his amazing grace, gave us a second chance by sending Jesus to
bridge the gap between us and God. So what are you going to do about it?
Either you choose to accept God's gift of salvation, repenting your sins
and becoming part of God's own internet, or you choose not to accept
salvation thus choosing to go to hell.
Jesus tells us He will separate humanity on judgement day like separating
the sheep from the goats. The goats lose.
But is the fence sitter then a sheep or goat? Where does that leave the
poor unfortunate individual who died about a minute ago, and now faces the
presence of God with the spiritual equivalence of "the dog ate my homework".
Well this individual is indeed unfortunate. Despite fantastic work for the Red
Cross, tasteful flower arrangements at Christmas and renowned generosity to
others and to the church offertory, if you do not belong to God's family, how
could you possibly claim the birthright of one who does? The fact is that by
not making a decision one way or the other about your eternity, the decision
is made. Jesus tells us "those who are not for me are against me".
Do not run out of time for such an important issue. Could it be too
important a decision to make right flow?
Too important a decision not to make right now.
Carpe Diem.
Au revoir.

As this is the tinal SWR for the 94/95 committee, I felt that it was only fair
to include the whole story of Steve Rogers. Despite the numerous
inconsistencies and nagging questions (e.g. what ever happened to Steve's
mother, is she still in a Sydney hotel lobby?), as a school we managed to
pull together and give Steve some sort of life. So here in stereo for possibly
the last time ever, here is Steve in....
Steven Rogers stepped off the plane into the middle of a cool Autumn
day. He turned and glared at his mother. She had said it was going to be
warm down here in Sydney. Steve strode down the corridor at the airport and
burst into the brightly lit street. His mother called a cab, which whisked
them both off into the bowels of the city. With one last glance at the airport
he left his life in Noosa behind and prepared himself mentally for the
challenge ahead......
In the next IS years, Steve grew up, grew a beard and grew married. He
never quite made it with either the receptionist or with Lydia Taylor. He
actually spent 6 years at Shore, met a girl called Janet while he was in year
12 got engaged and three years later he married her.
After a number of years at university, Steve bought himself a tissue
manufacturing business. This kept him busy for many years and he became
known as Mr Tissue. In fact, Mr Tissue was so involved with his work that
his friends gave him a giant sized box of tissues for his birthday.
After a different number of years Mr Tissue bought himself a Volvo and
managed to start a fire in the engine as he was driving to his friend's house.
Failing to notice this, his blue Volvo blew up and he died.
Maybe there were flowers at eternity, or maybe not. We will never know
as this interesting piece of trivia is in the realm of the gods and not for us to
ever know.

THE END
elderly mother to carry her own case, Steve offered to carry the woman's bag
into the hotel for her. On the bag Steve noticed HER name for the first time,
Lydia Taylor. Steve rolled the name around his mouth, marvelling at the
name's simple yet sophisticated beauty.
Mustering up all the courage he could find, he.............

But unfortunately just as he arrived at the lift his attention was distracted
by a passing blond and he looked up only to find himself walking face first
into a large concrete pillar. Steve collapsed onto the floor and managed with
nose bleeding profusely to crawl toward the reception desk. He arrived at the
desk and managed to croak to the receptionist "Get me an ambulance, I'm

Iraq. What a wonderful nation, full of excitement Can we please go
there? Iraq is an interesting country. In 1991 Saddam Hussein and his forces
were routed by the collective strength of the UN. However, due to the large
cost, the US is unlikely ever to intercede in such a conflict again unless oil is
at stake.
The UN relies on a system whereby countries give up some of their
power in order that the world can be govemed by an international body.
In the year 2005 this policy failed. The small and little known nation of
Hungroslovakia launched 105 nuclear warheads, destroying all but the
Headmaster's garden.....so there will be flowers, EVEN AT ETERNITY,

He was cut short by the sting of a slap across the face. He watched the
receptionist stomp off as he pressed his hand against his cheek.
Wondering what went wrong he made his way to his room rehearsing his
lines.
He opened the door to the room and sauntered to the phone. He picked up
the card for the hotel and rang the front desk. He recognised the voice on the
other end as that of the receptionist. Disguising his voice he said, "Would
you like to have dinner with me at the..."
"Beep ... beep ... beep". The line went dead.
He hung up the phone but was determined not to give up...

Riverview won the Year 8 and Year 10 debates. After a disconsolate
weekend, we have all recovered. The ISDA boys (or most of them) are being
put out to grass for a spell, while another batch of youngsters come in to be
trained for the GPS Debating Association term.
First debate of the season will be at Sydney High School, and a debating
programme will be given to all debaters as soon as possible.
On the first day back, James Bertouch and Richard Howard will speak in
the Legacy Junior Plain English Competition at Queenwood.

TIPS
The eagle is the best known symbol of Germany. It has been used in
Germany since the first Century AD, when it appeared on the Roman
standard
Germany and the Germans (Q914.3 Gan) is a book about German
culture and everyday life. It includes a brief history, and an extensive account
of Cities, Education, Leisure, Agriculture, Industry, Resources, and a few
important facts and figures. The last few pages consist of famous Germans,
and describes each one's feats, from Goethe to Wagner, from all professions.
For German students this would be an interesting addition to your cultural
studies. Es macht viel SpaB! (Comme ca? SWRC)
Castle (Q623.194 Pla ) is a book of cross-sections. It allows you to see
inside an amazing 14th-Century Castle and find the enemy spy in each
picture, very reminiscent of Where's Wally. The book is fact-filled and
during your search for the infiltrator you can't help but absorb some
interesting facts.

MATHEMATICS CHALLENGE
Shore had 41 students compete in the 1995 Maths Challenge Stage in
Term I. The challenge consisted of 6 questions to be answered over a 3 week
period. All students taking part in this competition were also in Shore's
Gifted and Talented programme in Mathematics. Great enthusiasm and
interest were shown by all students which was reflected in the very sound
results. Overall, 7 students were in the top 10%, and our intermediate team
was placed in the top 10% of all schools competing. There were
approximately 10,000 students from Australia who took part.
Congratulations to all Shore students for the great effort made.

THE SWRMAN IN: WUTHERING HEIGHTS
From the somewhat wuthering heights of fifth floor of benefactors our
very own Bookie was closely surveying the top of people's heads between
periods four and five. He was, of course, doing this from the perceived
comfort of his very own "safety otto', a bin that he never goes anywhere
without.
The SWRman, looking Out only for the good of the Record and the
school, snuck up behind him and bgged him and his family out. The
SWRman's wit and command of language has been well documented so you
can imagine how distressed the Bookie was.
"You are a bad writer." the SWRman viciously said.
"So is your brother"
"You look funny.
After an attack as malicious as this, life appeared as meaningless as a
library report to Alex. It seemed that he lost it completely (this would
suggest that he had it to begin with, but for the point of the cliché let us just
say that he did). He jumped, taking his wheelie bin with him, and crashed to
his death on the first floor.
The SWRman feeling a strange feeling, which someone told him was
called remorse, "flew" over to the prefects' room and got some chalk.
Walking back, tired after his exhausting flight, our superhero drew one of
those chalk lines which seem so common in movies he had seen. After
satisfying his conscience he left.
So that is what wheelie happened.

Triple Bill: Three for the price of

A Review
Hello
Excuse me, I have to go now.
....
DOUBLE BILL '95
Not since the Headmaster's Selection Variety Concert has Shore seen an
evening's entertainment to match Double Bill '95. Beginning with the
riotous comedy of misunderstanding, 'A Difficult Choice', rising to a peak
with the generation gap farce, 'Bananas', and finishing strongly with the
absurdist sketch, 'Afterpiece (The Fourth Wall)', Double Bill had something
for everyone from garbage men to animal lovers to anyone trying to keep up
with the Joneses. Hearty congratulations are due to every member of the cast
and crew.
Entering the Drama Studio with a crowd of enthusiastic Vth Formers, one
was immediately struck by the load of old rubbish on show. Not since the
legendary performances of The Caretaker two decades ago has a Shore stage
seen the like. From this junk heap emerged the two stars of 'A Difficult
Choice', the non-red-headed Blue (James Goldring) and the small and grubby
Maggot (Angus Leggatt). Their acting styles complemented one another
perfectly as the convoluted plot involving skeletons, cockroaches and
politicians unwound. Maggot's long lost sweetheart Peggy (Vanessa Hendy),
attractively attired in genuine '70s' clothing, led the amateur detectives to her
sister, the supposed murderer Mrs. Sallow (Louisa Gilpin). Meanwhile,
Angus Keenan as the typical Liberal politician Max Coglan (also bringing
back the memories in a fab '70s' jacket) and his publicist Barney Brown
(Luke Stevens) were offering the garbos temptations of another kind. It
required the decisive intervention of Sergeant Jones (David Lloyd), who saved
his best line ('Get away from my car!') until last, to restore law and order to
the troubled municipality.
After a welcome interval, we returned to see the two-faced Set (designed by
the director and the two Mr. Lewarnes and constructed by Mr. Mason, Daniel
Farmer and Matt Easy) reach its full potential. In 'A Difficult Choice', it
enabled swift scene changes from the dump to Mrs. Sallow's house, but after
interval it enabled the suspense for 'Afterpiece' to build up throughout
'Bananas' as the actors for the former sat gazing at the latter throughout its
entirety. 'Bananas' was certainly the highlight of the night. Relying far less
on puns than 'A Difficult Choice' and with a bit more substance than
'Afterpiece', it offered its Cast more opportunities to shine, opportunities
which they did not fail to seize. Outstanding was Tim Saunders as the hairy
uni student Charlie (nudge, nudge) Darwin. Tim spoke, walked (despite a
broken leg) and even looked so like his director that he must have taken Mr.
Bryant's instructions absolutely to heart. So too with Alex Keller in the
testing role of Julie. Michael Bayliss excelled as the liberal-with-limits
father figure, while Eliza Overduin had less to do (spending half the play in
the broom cupboard) but was still effective. Again the costumes provided by
Mrs. Felton were integral to the play's success.
Finally, the mysterious couple watching 'Bananas' was explained as
'Afterpiece (The Fourth Wall)' began. With overtones of both Beckett's
Waiting for Godot and Slaven and Nelson's Jan, 'Afterpiece' displayed the
acting talents of Nick Pickard to the full. Exhibiting every mannerism
known to paranoid man, Nick brought to life the words of the old song:
"Something is happening here but you don't know what it is. Do you, Mr
Jones?" Well supported by Kate Locke as his wife and Vanessa Hendy as a
wandering pollster, Nick was not finally upstaged until the reappearance of
the gorilla from 'Bananas'. Thus the evening ended on a bright note, thanks
to the efforts of all those mentioned plus Dugal Parker on lighting and Toby
Litchfield as stage crew. Mr. Middleton did his usual splendid job on the
program, aided by the intricate cover design of Mr. and Mrs. Gow, while the
efforts of Mr. Godden and his team as ushers and tea-pourers were superb.
Overall, Double Bill '95 was a truly memorable evening of garbage and
monkey business. Only one question remained unanswered: why a three part
production should be called Double Bill.
R.A. Clarke
Once again this term all boys will attempt a General Knowledge paper
involve spelling. Boys will be required to know the correct spelling of five
of the following ten words:
Have you ever thought about marrying a gorilla? Or gone around in
panicking circles, all for a rather enthusiastically violent mate, known
affectionately as "The Thing"? Or considered trading your lifesavings for an
18 foot wall sized mirror? Neither had I. That is until the triple bill of "A
Difficult Choice" by Craig Jensen, "Bananas" and "Afterpiece" ("The Fourth
Wall") both by Richard Bradshaw.
With a cast of year nine and ten students, (girls supplied by Wenona)
many of whom had never played such roles, if any roles, before, one may
have expected a "thanks for coming" play, but if one did, then one was very,
very wrong. The general standard of all three plays was excellent, with never
a dull moment . . most of the time.
A Difficult Choice was a difficult play to attempt. Revolving around the
misadventures of two honest scavengers, played by James Goldring and
Angus Leggatt, the play drifts through their attempts to get to the bottom of
a murder mystery. Filled with complications and tangent plots, A Difficult
Choice occasionally left the audience unsure of what was going on, but due to
excellent work from both James and Angus, as well as a very good
performance by Louisa Gilpin as the innocent sprinkler (you had to be there)
it held together very amusingly. Mention must be made here of those in the
smaller yet crucial roles; Vanessa Hendy, Angus Keenan, David Brown, David
Lloyd and Kate Locke, without whose excellent efforts and congruent
characterisation the play would have failed.
The second play, Bananas, was excellent in every way. The actors
involved never once laughed at their own jokes or broke the acting illusion in
any way. It is very difficult to bring off an absurd play convincingly, and its
success must be credited greatly to Mr. Tim Bryant, the director and understudy for the unfortunately injured Tim Saunders (get well soon
SWRC). Is is very difficult to pick the best actor from the best of the three
plays, so I won't. Michael Bayliss, as the tolerant father pushed to the edge
was breathtaking, showing the greatest potential of any of the actors on stage.
Perhaps with a harder character to pull off convincingly, Eliza Overduin
performed excellently, with the most complete perfonnance of all three plays.
Julie, the culture shocking gorilla, was fantastic, but we must not forget that
"gorillas are people too", so Alex Keller must be given due credit. Tim
Saunders' broken leg caused him to change his name to Bryant, and get hairy.
It is very creditable to the others of the cast of Bananas to have adapted so
well to this change, as, to quote Michael "It's not easy to work with a kid
who's hairier than you are, and has a deeper voice".
The last play, The Fourth Wall, ran on from Bananas, and contained three
overall excellent performances. Nick Pickard, the only Form V boy in the
production, and co-director with Mr. Bryant, showed brilliant acting skills,
just standing there on the stage, just "being there", and not rising to the
heckles of a less than helpful audience. Very good performances were seen
from Kate Locke (again) and Vanessa Hendy, but the credit must really go to
Nick for holding together what could have been slow, dull, boring, and spent,
instead helping it to be a fast, witty, interesting reflection on acting (pun
intended. Ha Ha).
The Direction was well directed (no pun intended. Yeah likely story.
Stevie Wonder take the wheel, run into a tree, ha ha very funny SWRC) by
Mr. Bryant, who managed to produce not just a nursery for talent, but a
nicely paced play, well worth the price of the ticket, sold excellently by Tony
Godden, the price of which included a program beautifully laid out by Ian
Middleton, with a cover designed artistically by Anthony Gow and Moraig
Henderson-Gow, as well as seeing the cast photographs so beautifully taken
by Michael Haagensen, only to walk Onto a set brilliantly designed by
Michael Lewarne, Graeme Lewarne and Tim Bryant, soundly constructed by
David Mason, Matt Easy and Daniel Farmer, brightly lit by Dugal Parker,
with a fabulous wardrobe called Anne Felton (oh sorry, that would be the
costumes chosen and organised by Anne Felton), and I still do not know what
the Gofer did, but it was Chris Reynolds. If you have not been mentioned
yet, then you were not on the programme.
In other words, it was good and nice.

"Ooohh' You've got space for it!"
CROSS-COUNTRY
At last. The long hours of soul-crushing joy that characterised the Record
Room on Wednesday afternoons are over. No more wading through the
customary burnings-in-waiting from the SSS, nor the selection of quotations
that, although they might have seemed funny at the time, do not stand up to
a second reading. Sometimes not even a first.
All in all, the last year has been, well, an educaiional experience.
Questions such as "How many Record members can you fit in the library
display cases?" and "Once the Record Room Cleaning Committee (i.e. Alex
Yim) has stopped doing his duties, how long will it take until the floor
disappears?" (About three days. This is true.) We feel that after this brief
period of time we have left our mark on the school, whether in red felt-tip
pen on the Record Room walls, or as a chalked outline on the first floor of
Benefactors. (See the photos if you've got no idea what we're talking about.
Not that they will help much.)
We would now like to take this opportunity to answer some of those
burning questions that have been plaguing you for the past year:
Q: What was the Committees greatest achievement?
A: This would have to be Celebrity Body Building with John "the bicep"
Gorham. We still can't believe he agreed to do it.
Q: What regrets do you have about leaving?
A: Of course, our greatest regret would be that we will no longer be there to
guide the Shore community through life. Seriously though, one of the
Committee's goals was to produce the Shore Weekly Pamphlet a two page
edition. We never quite managed to do this, even in the midst of exams and
when no-one turned up (except for Alex, but there's no surprise there),
although we came very, very close on quite a few occasions.
-
Q: Did everyone on the Committee write at least one article
during the year?
A: Read some Records. Tally the articles everyone wrote. Answer this
question yourself.
Q: What are your goals now that you no longer have to do
anything for the Record?
A: I think I speak for everyone when I say our collective goal is actually to
pass an assessment, something we have found almost impossible to do up
until now (unless of course you just don't turn up at all. But I digress).
Q: What lies in the future for the SWR?
A: Perhaps the most revolutionary change will be a desktop publishing
facility to replace the age-old "cut-and-glue" system (which, as you may have
guessed, involves cutting, arranging, gluing, rearranging, gluing, and
rearranging [in that order]). The past two or three Committees all rallied to
get such a program, but it was not until the technology at Shore had evolved
far enough, that it could be a feasible (or even possible) system. This should
be in place by next year (or so it has been hinted), and will be an exciting
change for the Kimpton Administration.
D.T.F.W.
with additional material by
Last Saturday's cross-country race was wet, cold and miserable. The day
started early for sonic, who had to set up all the tents and tables, for the GPS
X-eountry races that started at 9.00 am. in the morning, and then the CIS
races, which began at 11.00 am., and finished at about 3.30 p.m.
Throughout the day it was windy, and the rain was sprinkling on and off.
Continuous rain throughout the days leading up to the races, caused the clay
soils to become very slippery. Some areas turned to mud in which runners
lost their shoes.
The 14s had to complete one, 2 kin lap of the very challenging course.
Tom Miles and Peter Billiet were the first two Shore runners in 8th and 9th
place respectively. Following closely behind was John Bathgate in 14th
position.
The 16s race entailed 2 laps, and by this stage the course was getting very
muddy. Nick Senior led the Shore group home with a 7th place. Following
behind were Robin Leahy in 13th and Richard Letch in 17th place. The 16s
team managed to take 2nd place, even with the absence of the top runners,
who raced later in the day.
The Opens team suffered due to some of their top runners running in the
CIS. However Geoff Watson, had a superb run, to finish in 4th position.
Both the GPS and the CIS races were a huge success due to the
organisation of Mr. Devin, and the Shore staff who were involved. On behalf
of all the runners I would like to thank the Prefects who helped in the
morning as marshals. But I would especially like to thank all the parents
who devoted most of the day to helping on the food and beverages stalls in
the cold weather, and who in turn helped raise money for Shore X-country.

SOCCER REPORT
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a Partridge in a
Pear tree. You may say that this has nothing to do with soccer and you
would be absolutely correct.
Last Saturday all the soccer fixtures were against the old foe of
Riverview. Again the 14As won 3-I while the Seconds had a tough 2-1
loss.
The First XI battled their way through a monstrous tunnel to go on to
the hallowed turf of Northbridge D ground. Andrew Pym actually won the
toss for a change and elected to run up hill into the wind. You could say
this was stupid but then again you would have had egg on your face shortly
afterwards. The first few minutes had Riverview dominate although the
Shore defence was marking and cancelling the continued pressure that
Riverview put on the Shore goal. Finally the ball was moved upfield into
the Riverview half for the first time. Toby Iaccarino put in a big dash,
arriving at the ball before the Riverview keeper. Being the super team man
that he is, Mr. laccarino passed the ball to Tim Howard in the centre of the
goal unmarked. Tim, just as coach Roberson had instructed, side-footed the
ball into the goal from all of about 2 metres out. Shore was up 1-0 and the
enormous Shore crowd erupted as the Riverview crowd behind the goal
were observed to be strangely silenced and basically dumbfounded at what
they had just seen.
The rest of the half saw an evenly matched game that produced a couple
of unsuccessful raids on the Riverview goal. This was despite the strong
wind that Riverview had behind them and Shore went into the break the
clearly dominant team. The first few minutes of the second half had Shore
dominate play with a lot of play centred in the midfield and Riverview half.
This led to the Shore midfield not dropping when they were supposed to and
the backs being outnumbered. Even though outnumbered the Shore backs
recovered well to hold up the play. The final shot on goal was blocked by
Rob Lee, however he didnt manage to hang on to it and in the scrap for the
ball. It ended with the ball making its way into the net. The score was 1-1.
The remainder of the half had some interesting play with the ball atone time
being cleared off the line by Hamish Anderson. Rob Hargreave (your name
has now been put in the Record and no you will not be famous) had a good
game at the back at sweeper, while Andrew Pym and Andrew Rienits also at
the back cleared some very close calls. Trent Rogers once again showed his
ability with another near miss on goal after a cross from the right was
deflected away by the keeper.
The I-I result left the team rather deflated as it was a case of lowered
commitment in the second half that had cost them winning the match. The
upcoming matches against Grammar this afternoon and St. Aloysius on
Saturday will provide some opportunities for the team to redeem itself.
