FROM NCO TO NCS
This is not easy to explain.
I think Canberra is an extremely interesting city, full of action and
excitement. I reckon that boarding house food can be absolutely delicious
(the "Gourmet Guru" may disagree). In fact, if I had a choice, I'd rather spend
my, holidays boarding in Canberra whilst listening to political lectures than
'uwng at home watching television and snacking from the fridge. Actually I
(lid spend half my holidays in our capital city doing exactly that - and it was
one of the best six days of my life.
Having just survived five days at Linden on the junior NCO course it was
time for me to move from the bush to the bush capital (Canberra) in order to
attend the Queen's Trust Notional Capital Seminar (NCS). These two
different weeks, however, bore little resemblance to one another apart from
the fact that both presented a challenge. Dress code was one example: a
dramatic change from grubby greens and a floppy hat into a clean pressed suit
and tie. Accommodation switched from a wind swept tent to a warm bed at
Canberra Grammar School Boarding House and tinned ham and eggs became
rich chocolate mud cake with cream and raspberry coulis.
Every State and Territory was represented within the one hundred lucky
Year Eleven students selected to attend the seminar (yes, even Tasmania).
There was a terrific mix of cultures and backgrounds in the group and
therefore a wide variety of beliefs and opinions. This was a perfect
opportunity to meet with peers and talk openly about almost anything and
many lasting friendships were made during the week. By the end of the
seminar, such a great sense of unity had formed within the group that
everyone was quite reluctant to say goodbye.
The purpose of the seminar was not only to bring people together, of
course. It was also designed to further educate promising young Australians
about our system of government and to encourage participation and debate
amongst the students involved. In these respects, the week was certainly a
success and I think many of us went home slightly bewildered by the amount
of information so rapidly thrown at us. Tutorial groups provided an arena for
ducussion and learning and were often the scenes of controversial debate. A
few of the topics presented in the lectures included: "Women in politics"
(Cheryl Kernot), "Australia: a republic" (Tony Abott and Mark Ryan) and
"The media's role in politics" (Michelle Grattan and Kerry O'Brien). Many
other interesting subjects were covered in tutorials and other speeches.
Highlights of the seminar were undoubtedly Dr. John Hewson's speech
about relations between Australia and Asia and the memorable presentation
given by the Hon. Mr. Fred Chancy to close the seminar. We were also
given the chance to explore the High Court, National Gallery and Parliament
House. An attempted "mock parliament" field in the Senate Room of Old
Parliament House is an experience that I will surely never forget, during
which a record was set when the Leader of the Opposition crossed the floor to
vote with the Government for the first time in recorded history.
Unfortunately we were denied the chance to meet the Prime Minister, who
was attending the Labor Party conference in Hobart.
I belicve most of the one hundred yoting men and women who attended
he seminar found it a most fulfilling experience and left Canberra with not
only new, knowledge but also reshaped opinions about our nation and its
luture. We all have a role to perform in helping to determine Australia's
outlooks and our world standing in the many years to come. The more we
understand about what is happening around us, the better equipped we are to
form well-based opinions - valuable opinions which, if acted upon, make a
significant difference. In his brilliant final speech, Fred Chancy urged us: "If
you see something you don't like, don't do nothing about it, change it".
You can.
Peter Butchatsky
NOTICE
If anyone in the school achieves sporting glory such as that in the Moove
Games Article and does not think they are being recognised then they should
write into the Record with details of their performance. We can put your
name in print and give you the recognition you so richly deserve. Better yet
get one of your friends to do it so you don't look like you are trying to get
your name in print. If you really want to have your name in print simply get
on the Record Committee itself and you can see it most weeks for a year.
Entries should be given to the Sports Ed. or put in the box outside the
Record Room. Don't bother putting articles of sporting glory in the box near
the noticeboards as the Sports Ed. never checks that box because there are
only rotten apple cores and other such generous free food samples from the
mighty SWR readership inside. Plays of the Week can also be handed in, in
the same way.

During the vacation twenty six Shore boys, accompanied by Mr. Cooke and Mr. I
Goddcn, travelled to Japan for 11 days. The highlight of the tour was a 4 night I
homestay with the families of students at Yamate Gakuin, an independent, coeducational college situated just south of Yokohama.
The Shore boys had the experience of attending classes at Yamate, had lessons
in calligraphy, observed judo, karate and a couple even found time to join in rugby
raining! On the last day the school held an impressive and quite moving farewell
ceremony, during which speeches were made in Japanese and a presentation of a
Shore plaque was made to the school. The Headmaster, Mr. Inomata, thanked usor
visiting their school. In reply, Mr Cooke thanked the Headmaster for the wonderful
hospitality shown to the Shore boys by the Yamate students and their families and •
Mr. Godden talked about Sydney and told the students all about Shore's history, its U
curriculum and sports programme. Finally, Alex Koch delivered a superb speech of
thanks on behalf of the Shore boys. Many lasting friendships have been made as a
• result of our visit and, significantly, close ties have been established between Shore •
md Yamate. It is planned to repeat the tour in 1996 and we also hope that our ties
with Yamate will lead to longer exchanges between our two schools in the future.
During the homestay, the boys also had the opportunity to visit Tokyo
including a memorable afternoon at Tokyo Disneyland) and nearby Kamakura
k
and on the last morning we managed to get to Tokyo's main station, on the
notoriously crowded Tokyo subway - at peakhour, with all our luggage - to catch
the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto.
In Kyoto we visited many of that city's most famous sights, such as the Golden i
Temple, Ginkakuji temple with its beautiful moss garden with carp filled ponds,
bonsai fir trees and raked sand representing waves on the sea, Nijo castle with its
nohtinggale floor (to warn of approaching enemies), the impressive Kiyomizu
empte, perched high above Kyoto, and Philosophers' walk, a centuries old pathway
along a cherry tree lined canal.
While in Kyoto, side trips were made to Nara, to visit the famous Todaiji temple
nd by Shinkansen to Hiroshima, where we visited the peace park and museum and
the nearby island of Miyajima, with its huge red Toni (gateway to /tsukushi,rza
shrine) rising from the water.
A pictorial record of our trip follows. A more detailed account, including the
boys' own impressions of Japan, will appear in the next issue of the Torchbearer.

TIPS
The Centenary Building has opened to the school a wealth of new
lacilities and topic areas in the departments of Design and Technology,
Music, and Art. To satisfy both the theoretical and creative sides of these
subjects, the library has purchased a number of books. Those presented
below are aimed primarily at students of Art, although some contain material
useful as cultural backgrounds to the histories of Music and Technology.
Arts and Ideas (700 Fle), by William Fleming, is a general history of art
throughout the ages. It explores the subject with reference to the music and
literature of its time, covering all the major movements, artists, and cultural
centres of each period.
Aperture Masters of Photography is a series of books, each looking
individually at an important photographic artist. It includes: Henri CarderBresson, Paul Strand, and Dorothea Lange (all 770.92). All contain a
brief chronology, a list of the exhibitions of the artist, and a select
bibliography.
In Australian Photography: The 1980s (779 Enn) the careers and works
of over thirty photographers of the '80s are examined, with short explanations
of their own photographs by the artists themselves.
In pottery, the library has three new books among many others: The
l.iring Tradition of Maria Martinez (Q 738.0924 Mar:P), Sculptural
Ceramics (738.1 Gre), and Step by Step Pottery and Ceramics: A Creative
Guide (Q 738 Esp). The first, by Susan Peterson, is a culmination of the 30
years the author has been associated with Maria Martinez and her family.
Containing personal stories of the Martinez family and 334 photographs, it is
a unique representation of the artist's recreation of the burnished black pottery
art form Step by Step Pottery and Ceramics , by Lorette Espi, is a fully
illustrated practical guide to creating ceramic works of art, including steps for
the main shaping stage as well as some magnificent decoration techniques.
The author herself is a well-known potter and the book contains the steps she
and other artists used in the creation of some truly spectacular (yet simple)
pieces.

THE SIR ADRIAN CURLEWIS
AND THE
DR. CHENHALL OUTWARD BOUND AWARDS
Applications are invited from members of the VIth Form of 1994 for
these Awards, each of which permits one student from the School to go on a
"Classic Challenge" (22 days long) Outward Bound Course in the YEAR
FOLLOWING VITH FORM. It is expected that the selected students will
make a contribution towards the cost of the course (currently approximately
30% of the total cost of a course of $1,695).
The main aim of an Outward Bound course is to show a person what he is
capable of achieving, physically, mentally and socially in a group (6-12) for
22 days, using walking, climbing, abseiling, rafting, canoeing, ropes
courses, cross-country running and other confidence-building and socialising
activities.
Any person who is moderately fit may participate and derive benefit.
Those whose usual leisure-time activities are "out-of-doors" or "adventurous"
should not apply simply in the hope of furthering these skills (though they
may do that); those who are not attracted to outdoor pursuits may derive great
benefit and should not be deterred from applying.
Applications should be made, by the boy concerned, in writing to the
Headmaster by Friday 14th October, 1994.
OUTWARD BOUND BURSARIES
Applications are called for four (4)
Shore Association Outward Bound Bursaries
or the Outward Bound 'Pack and Paddle' (Junior) courses to be held in the
Christmas holidays.
The age range for these is 12-16 years (i.e. the boys must not have
turned 16 by the commencement of the course) but preference will be given
to boys in the following years: from Form IV and Form III in that order.
The course is a holiday camp combining some of the elements and ideas
of Outward Bound, but in a more modest form than on the Standard (17-30
years) course.
The Bursary is HALF THE FEE ($192.50). The successful candidates
will pay the other half, plus travel costs. Details of the courses and total fees

MOOVE GAMES
1994 N.S.W. ALL SCHOOLS
TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS
YOUNG SCIENTIST '94
Last weekend a small but elite group of Shore athletes competed in the
Moove Games.
James Shannon came 4th in the U19 Hammer Throw. He was up against
some very large and well built competition.
Chris Doyle, Andrew Pym and Peter Greenwell all competed in the lOOm.
Chris and Andrew both made the U19 final with Andrew qualifying third in a
time of 10.9 sec. Shore was the only school to have two competitors in the
final which shows the depth that the school has in sprinting. Unfortunately
Chris Doyle strained a 'hammy' in the warmup for the final which left him
unable to compete for the rest of the weekend. Andrew had a bad start and
finished 7th. He also just missed Out on the 200m final.
Michael Trumball in the Open High Jump came 5th also against some
high class competition with a jump of I .93m.
All of these achievements however were totally upstaged by the U19 4 x
lOOm relay team of Doug Lucas, Dougall Fletcher, Steve Park and Andrew
Pym. They totally obliterated the field under lights late on Sunday (except
for Waverley) to not only be the first GPS team over the line but also
beating all the CHS teams to get 2nd place and a silver medal. Before the
race it was known that the team needed a flying start from Doug Lucas. He
did not disappoint as he streaked ahead around the first corner with that
familiar running style of his which is unbelievably effective even though it
has taken much criticism over the years. Doug handed the baton over to
Dougall Fletcher who left the competition eating the tartan which his spikes
flicked up. (Yes, I know it's a bad metaphor but if you have better space
fillers the Record Committee will gladly accept any.) Dougall then handed
the baton on to the 'super sub' Steve Park who also flew around the bend. A
good change to Andrew Pym saw 2nd place wrapped up and the team on the
podium.
Special thanks must go to Chris Doyle for being coach/manager of the
relay team. He proved himself a wealth of inspiration and information. He
also taught the team that although he may seem a show pony at times, he is
nothing compared to most people at the Moove Games where Oaldeys and
the N.S.W. tracksuit are seen everywhere.
James Shannon, Chris Doyle, Andrew Pym and Michael Trumbull all
qualified for the National All-Schools in Brisbane on the 9th - 11th
December.
A final thanks must also go to the legions of supporters that came out to
Homebush to support the athletes (these numbered between one and four at
various times throughout the two days and it does not include parents even
though their support was also greatly appreciated).

TIPS
Human beings, by and large, are made of water, with various other
chemicals arranged in such a way that they do not just soak into the carpet,
but tend to hang together in a sort offleshy mound.
Richard Curtis had a problem with this, because if you put the fleshy
mounds into a space-ship and then accelerate the space-ship very quickly
indeed, then they are apt, almost immediately, to become messy pink
smudges on the rear wall of the control room.

STEREOGRAM
The Wallpaper Stereogram
Part I
In 1844, in England, a man named Sir David Brewster discovered a new
form of stereogram. It was found that a repeated pattern, changing slightly as
it progressed, created an illusion of depth when viewed correctly. Because of
its resemblance to the repetitive patterns of wallpaper, it was named the
wallpaper stereogram.
150 years later, the computer has made this kind of 3-D image the
simplest to create. The development of simple paintJdraw programs for
personal computers in the last ten years has brought the art of stereoscopy
into the home. Since 1980, when Bela Julesz (inventor of the random-dot
stereogram) and Peter Burt produced the first computer-assisted wallpaper
stereogram, countless works have been produced.
Unlike the random-dot stereograms seen recently in the Record, wallpaper
stereograms contain no 'hidden images". Instead, they consist of small
pictures arranged so that when the correct viewing technique is employed (in
this case, the parallel-eyed method [in case you've forgotten: where you hold
it up to your face and move it back]), they appear to be at different depths, or
"floating".

Ilik, 's Guide comes a fantastic new journey of adventure and discovery...
well, almost. The Galaxy Game (F Jan), by Phil Janes is the first in a
series of hilariously absurd new SF books. It's a must-read for anyone who
ever found the dysfunctional crew of the Red Dwarf funny.
How Would You Survive as an Ancient Roman? (Q 937 Gan)
is a pictorial exploration of life in ancient Rome. Ever wanted to know
about Roman hairdressing? Such riveting questions as: "The hairdresser has
ruined my hair. Can I send him to the public torturer?" are answered in this
fascinating book featuring the illustrations of the well-known historical
artist, John James.
In Vertical (Q 796.525 War) the latest in vertical caving techniques are
examined, including methods used in some of the world's most difficult
caves. With information designed to assist the expert, it also contains
simple, easily followed instructions for even the most uninformed of cavers.

1994 PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETLTION/EXHIBITION
If you have been near the Art Department recently, you may have noticed
a number of photographs in the foyer. After only one year of teaching
photography in the school curiculum, a remarkable standard has been reached
in this field.
The exhibition will be held until the end of next week, so if you find
yourself with a few minutes spare time during the school day, have a look.
You will witness the end product of what has been a lot of hard work by both
Mr. Haagensen and the boys.
Winners were announced on Monday (17th) lunch, with eight prizes
awarded; one in each category and a "grand prize". CONGRATULATIONS

THE DEBRTING LUNCH
Last Sunday saw the final convening of the Shore Debating Society for
1994. A change in format to the day saw a number of changes which most
of the persons present thought pleasant. The most noticeable of these was
the lack of tedious formalities.
Only two presentations were made. A brief speech of thanks from
Matthew Gow and the presentation of Gertrude the Amazonian Orchid
concluded the Seconds vote of thanks. Following this Michael Paget of the
Firsts made a presentation to Mr. Clarke and presented the audience with a
plate full of political propaganda. The luncheon finished shortly afterwards,
with one team making a noticeable departure. The Seconds, Matthew Gow,
Jeremy Chase and Nick Townend boarded a high powered motor launch and
much to the amusement of the maddening crowd proceeded to motor around
the bay a number of times before driving off into the sunset.
Many thanks to all who attended the Debating Lunch, and special thanks
must go to the organisers and our guest of honour, Richard Holden.

SPORTS ABOUT WET WEATHER PROCEDURE
AND PROTECTION FROM THE SUN:
WET WEATHER PROCEDURE
CAPTAINS of Cricket, Basketball and Tennis teams are to ring
AFTER 7,15 a.m. IF RAIN HAS FALLEN
956,1135
OVERNIGHT OR IF RAIN HAS FALLEN ON FRIDAY.
Players must ring their Captains, NOT THE WET WEATHER
NUMBER.
If your match is at 1.30 p.m. a message will be put on the wet weather
phone AFTER 11.15 a.m.
IF THERE IS NO MESSAGE ON THE WET WEATHER
NUMBER YOU MUST GO TO THE GROUND/COURTS.
Firsts and Seconds teams MUST attend, no matter what the weather.
HATS, SUNSCREEN AND SUNGLASSES
HATS:
Boys playing summer sport who are out in the sun for a
prolonged period MUST WEAR A SUITABLE HAT. There are a
number of hats available from the Clothing Pool or Newman's that may be
worn:
Cricket - School cricket cap, canvas hat with School badge or white cap
with School badge and flap at the sides and back (Under 13 and Under 14
only).
Rowing - White cap with side and back flaps with School badge.
Tennis - White cap with side and back flaps and School badge or blue sun
visor with School badge.
Surf Life Saving - White cap with side and back flaps and School badge,
blue sun visor with School badge or which canvas hat with School badge.
Boys doing other outdoor sports, such as Basketball, are advised to wear a
School cap or hat where possible (e.g. refereeing matches, acting as reserves
etc.).
ANY OTHER CAPS OR HATS WILL BE CONFISCATED.
SUNSCREEN:
All boys are required to wear sunscreen when playing outdoor sport. Each
boy should provide his own - the 15 plus sunscreen sold by the Cancer
Council is recommended.
SUNGLASSES:
It is recommended that those playing outdoor sport wear sunglasses. Boys
may wear the Cancer Council sunglasses, which are quite cheap, or they may
wear others so long as:
they have plain, dark coloured frames, and
they are safe i.e. they will not shatter if struck by a cricket ball.
It is advisable that boys buy inexpensive sunglasses.
Boys are also advised to be sensible and stay out of the sun where possible
and to wear long sleeved shirts and shirts with collars for cricket in particular.
All the tidvice above is to help boys avoid the problems caused by the sun.
Sensible purchases of hats, sunscreen and, where desired, sunglasses, and
thoughtful planning when packing school bags on practice and match days
should avoid any form of sunburn that may lead to skin cancers later in life.
Coaches will be instructed to make sure that all boys follow the above
guidelines carefully.

HOLIDAY CRICKET
The season was off to a flying start when, on the third ball of the match,
a fired up Fatty Vautin, or was it Scott Taylor, bowled the I. Zingan opener.
It was a sign of good things to come.
I. Zingari went on to get a total of 8/183 off a reduced number of 52
overs. The pick of the bowlers were Taylor (3/32), Hugh Brakell (2/21) and
Ed Cay (2/27).
This left our batsmen in a good position to win the I.Z. game for the first
time in years, with only 3.5 runs per over required. The openers, Mesley and
the indomitable David Falk, put on a partnership of 95 before the former was
dismissed for 36. Falk went on to notch up 75. After some good tight
bowling from the I.Z. attack and a 20 over spell from one of their bowlers
the game was down to the wire. Peter Sachs was at the crease, the Ice
Man, as he has come to be known, was cool under the pressure of good
bowling and the stress of a bad hair day. He went on to get 40* and score the
winning runs in the last over.
Two days of internal trials and a rest day followed over which we could
further attempt to regain some form.
On Friday morning we made the trip Out to Hunters Hill on an incredibly
windy and difficult day on which to play cricket. Shore won the toss and
elected to bat. At 2/3 1, on a good batting wicket, a bit of steadying was
needed. Roberts and Mesley put on a partnership of 127 before both lost
their wickets for 39 and 78 respectively. Shore lost another couple of quick
wickets before the young Phil Waugh, on debut, came to the crease. Phil had
good partnerships with Angus Dorney and Ed Cay which helped him to an
excellent score before being given Out caught behind on the devil's number,
87.
This gave our bowlers a very respectable 297 runs to defend as we strolled
Out onto the field with an hour to go on the first day. The attempt to gain a
wicket or two early was unsuccessful and it wasn't until Saturday morning
that Sachs broke the 95 run opening partnership. Some loose bowling and
"holiday" fielding kept Joey's in the game. Angus Dorney took three
valuable wickets as did Hamish Esplin who was then on a hat-trick. We got
St. Joseph's all out for 257 and went in for a bit of batting practice. Peter
Sachs scored an impressive 52 not out and Esplin 30.
The Seconds also had a high scoring match but suffered from the
increasingly common inability to bowl G.P.S./C.A.S. sides Out. They
scored 404 with Nick Grover scoring 110, Tim Jacobs 95 and Cam McNally
77. St. Joseph's were 8/340 when stumps were called on Saturday and the
match was drawn. Cronin and Oates bowled well picking up a couple of
scalps each.
This report was to be included in last week's Record but was popped by
the Japan trip pictorial.

1ST XI v CENTENARY O.B.U.
It was a good toss to lose.
The Northbridge wicket was
uncharacteristically grassy and it was hard to tell what it would do early.
Unfortunately Shore won the toss and elected to bat, a mistake.
Opener Hamish Esplin was dismissed in the first over (but not before
notching up a quickfire 2) and another two wickets fell early on a cutting
"greentop" wicket. We were in trouble at three for not many.
Angus Roberts was the only batsman to really go on with it in the rest of
the innings, scoring 74 including a memorable six. Phil Waugh also batted
well for his 26 before being run out first ball after lunch. Shore's total of
176 off 55 overs was not much to bowl at on a now much more inviting
batting wicket.
The opening combination of Taylor and Brakell were fiery early and beat
many an outside edge. Unfortunately no chances were given early and the
much needed wickets seemed ungettable. The Centenary team's run rate was
well above that required and it became apparent that we needed a lot of
wickets fast to have any chance of victory. Angus Dorney was the main
destroyer taking four wickets and Esplin also bowled well late for one.
In the end the game went easily to the O.B.U. with five wickets and
almost ten overs to spare. The team would like to congratulate our
opponents on the win and on their hundredth anniversary and wish them a
very happy next hundred years.
Apart from this hiccup, all bides well for the G.P.S. season which starts
for both the Firsts and Seconds this weekend against Grammar. The Firsts
are playing at Northbridge so it would be good to see a bit of support out
there on Saturday.

1F LiFE .SA'dlNq REPORT
It was a perfect day to start the season, the sun was Out and the surf was
up. We started off with the usual briefing and roll call then split into our
two groups: patrol and instruction.
The patrolters had a great day lined up for them, with a board relay and a
Dee Why-Trig-Dee Why run which they all loved? After the light morning
activities they then completed a 500m swim, a run-swim-run, and to finish
off, a board rescue relay.
The instruction groups had a very productive morning. They started off
with the usual trig station run then separated into their instruction groups for
training. Matthew Cape had a very busy day instructing three bronze
medallion groups and constantly keeping a watchful eye from the IRB.
Overall it was a fantastic start to the season which everybody enjoyed
immensely. We all hope Mr. Scozzi will be back on the beach soon.

GOLF REPORT
On Tuesday 4th October the boys of the Shore Golf Club made their way
to Elanora Golf Club to take on the depleted Masters' team. The boys' team
consisted of Mark Holland, James Ferguson, Damien Thomson, Tim
Underwood, Todd Woodland and Cameron Reaney - a very strong line up.
Whilst the much weaker Masters' line-up consisted of Mr. Hunter, Mr.
Bryant, Mr. Grant, Mr. Middleton, Mr. Sharpe and a fill in to make up the
numbers. The Masters started off well with Mr. Bryant showing class and
finesse to lead his team to a 4 point lead. However, it was only a matter of
time before they came back to the field. The Masters' team were unable to
win a match with Damien Thomson sinking a putt of some 30 feet to deny
Mr. Bryant and Mr. Hunter a deserved victory. The day was thoroughly
enjoyable with several prizes handed out and lots of laughs had. It is hoped
that next year the Masters' team will be stronger in numbers.
The Matchplay Competition was also decided during these holidays with
both the semi-finals and finals being conducted. The four semi-finalists made
their way to Cromer. Damien Thomson unfortunately due to a prior
engagement was unable to play, giving James Ferguson a clear road to the
final. The other match between Todd Woodland and Tim Underwood proved
to be a nail biter with Todd narrowly winning on the last hole. He then went
on to comprehensively defeat James in the final with putting reminiscent of a
young Ben Crenshaw.
The Golf Club has had a highly successful year and hopefully next year
more boys and staff will become involved. Thanks very much to Mr. Sharpe
for his organisation of the games and prizes.

BASKETBALL REPORT
Last Wednesday the Shore '94 leavers played this year's Firsts. The result
was a blow Out with the leavers losing 7 1-114. The game was somewhat
less than serious, and there were many colourful events, none more so than
Josh Stuart's free throw shooting. While the leavers were caught with their
pants down, the game provided an opportunity to practise Shore's new fast
break offence which proved very effective. Another successful game against
the Shore Old Boys on Saturday provided a good warm up for Saturday's
match against Grammar, a very strong team this year and one of the
competition favourites. The diversity in skills of individual players should
provide Shore with many scoring options this year. Also this year Shore has
a very tall team, with four players over 63", another strength we hope to
utilise.
The amount of hard work put in by individuals this year has been quite
exceptional, with up to 14 hours practice every week. As Larry Bird once
said "You've just got to believe hard work is paid off and good things will
happen."
So far this year Aranda, Hawkins and Stuart are scoring in double figures,
however often far too much emphasis is placed on scoring, it is teamwork
that wins games not individual points. Other players like Orchid and Hercus
have done a great job at point guard, dishing out assists and getting steals.
Other forwards like Staude, Evans and Knox have been pulling down valuable
rebounds, one of the most important offensive and defensive stats.
Come out and see the most exciting of summer sports this week; all
support would be greatly appreciated.

EDITORIAL
The Record Committee has caught Sixties Mania. The concert last week
started it and it has all been downhill since then. The Record Room walls are
now covered with Jimj 1-lendi-ix posters and the bottom floor of Benefactors
has been ringing with the sounds of Sgt. Peppers and Led Zeppelin. Peace
signs and flowers have suddenly sprung up everywhere. It is for this reason
that we have decided to dedicate this edition of the S.W.R. to that most
deliriously delightful and decisive of decades. This is officially the Shore
Weekly Records tribute to the sixties and everything (well almost
everything) that they stood for.
It is for this reason that I will he recording the major events during the decade
that was. I hope the boys will be able to learn something, or at least get a
laugh out of the thought that their parents and teachers once had haircuts likc
those. I hope also that the parents and teachers can sit back and reminisce
about those good/bad old days in these tumultuous times. Perhaps they, too,
can laugh at their former hair styles.
A SIXTIES TIMELINE
1960 - The civil rights movement was becoming a main issue in America
and around the world. Seventeen African countries were granted independence
by their former colonial powers. This trend continued throughout the decade.
A civil war broke out in the newly independent Congo as Tshombe attempted
to overthrow the government. It was around this time that the hippie
movement started to gain momentum. The flower children believed that a
world based on love and peace would lead to wonderful and magical changes.
The use of prohibited substances was prolific and helped these people to
shape their ideas. This also coincided with the beginning of the dark age of
fashion although things didn't really get bad until later on in the decade. The
word flares springs to mind.
1961 - It was in this year that the now non-existent Berlin wall was erected
in the city of the same name. At the same time South Africa became a
Republic and withdrew from the Commonwealth. In the U.S.A. John F.
Kennedy is inducted as President. The Space Race got serious with the first
manned trip into space by Russian Yuri Gagarin.
1962 - The Cuban Missile Crisis between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. took
place. The Soviets agreed to remove all of their weapons from the island
under threat of war with America. The Telstar communications satellite was
launched by America and the first live television broadcasts between North
America and Europe were exchanged. The Beatles were completed as we now
know them when Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as drummer of the group
(how stupid would he be feeling?). Another famous British group, The
Rolling Stones, was formed in this year. Folk-song composer and singer
Bob Dylan recorded the first of his protest songs, "Blowin in the Wind"
1963 - The assassination of President J.F. Kennedy in Dallas shocks the
nation and the world. The civil rights movement reached a climax as The
March on Washington was staged by more than 200,000 Americans. French
President Charles De Gaulle vetoed Great Britain's application to enter the
European Economic Community. Bob Dylan summed it up when he released
the record "The Times They Are A-Changin ". The haircuts weren't getting
much better.
1964 - The outside involvement in the Vietnam War increased when U.S.
President Johnson declared his country's support for the south Vietnamese
against the Viet Cong. The civil rights movement was finally acknowledged
by the American Congress when the Civil Rights Act was passed. American
spacecrafts Rangers 7,8 and 9 took the first close up television pictures of the
moon. Beatlemania struck Australia and the United States when the Fab Four
toured the world. The Beatles released the first of their films "A Hard Day's
Night".
1965 - liTiàin, Winston Churchill died. Capital Punishment was also
abolished in the U.K. The U.S. sent its first marines to fight in the Vietnam
War while also conducting regular bombing raids on the North Vietnamese.
The Stones' "Satisfaction", The Beatles' "Yesterday" and "Help" and Bob
Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" were on top of the charts in '65.
1966 - The Decimal system is introduced in Australia. Australia's longest
serving P.M. Sir Robert Menzies retired and was replaced by Harold Bolt.
President Dc Gaulle once again vetoed Britain's attempts to enter the E.E.C.
The South African President Dr. Verwoerd was assassinated. Australia's
commitment to the Vietnam conflict escalated when our first conscripts were
sent. The Space Race continued when the U.S.S.R's Luna 9 became the first
spacecraft to land on the moon. Jimi Hendrix organised a new band called the
Jimi Hendrix Experience and gained internatienal fame with the band with
songs such as "Purple Haze".
1967 - The six day war between the Arabs and the Israelis took place. A
military coup in Greece and a civil war broke out in Nigeria. Russians
invade Czechoslovakia to crush Liberalism spread by Alexander Dubcek the
Czech leader. Portuguese dictator since 1933, Salazar, died and De Gaulle
resigned. In Australia a referendum overwhelmingly approved proposals to
grant Aborigines the right to vote. A new form of rock 'n' roll band was
formed in America called Creedence Clearwater Revival. The Beatles released
the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" LP which included the popular
"Strawberry Fields" single.
1968 - Two assassinations in America occurred. One of black activist
Martin Luther King and the other of presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy,
brother of the former president. The Viet Cong launched a major Tet
offensive on U.S. forces in Vietnam. Further civil rights were granted to
black Americans by congress. American Apollo 8 astronauts flew orbits
around the moon. In music, The Beatles released the single "Hey, Jude' and
their third movie, the cartoon Yellow Submarine.
1969 - Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become the first humans
to walk on the moon. An estimated audience of 600 million people watched
Armstrong take that "small step for man, giant leap for mankind" out of the
Apollo 11. Richard Nixon is made new president of the U.S. and John
Gorton led the government to a narrow election victory over Gough
Whitlam's Labor Party. It was the Beatles' last full year together and they
produced such records as "Come Together" and "Something". Creedence
released many top selling songs such as "Bad Moon Rising" and won Rolling
Stone magazine's Best American Band award. The Stones themselves also had
a hit with "Honky Tonk Women". The hairstyles were still a disgrace.
So there you have it. They were the stories that stole the headlines in
this decade. I hope you enjoy the Shore Weekly Record's tribute to the
sixties.
LETTER TO THE SWR
Dear SWR,
Today I was doing the Computer Competition. I was deeply hurt when
you said I should seek professional help because I don't go insane waiting for
Macintoshs to load. I happen to like waiting for Macintoshs to load! Do
these words sound like a man insane? Do they? Us medieval knights enjoy
waiting. Waiting for our swords to be sharpened, shields repaired. You
should learn to be patient! I have waited since 1066 for The Shore Weekly
Record to come into existence. That's about 800 years! 800 years of
wailing! And you complain about waiting 5 minutes for a Macintosh to
load! Hang your heads in SHAME!
Sir Gallahad has spoken!
From the Fumagator
Dear Fumagator,
We appreciate your criticism, and are deeply sorry (from the bottoms of
our hearts, truly). Any further complaints should be directed to the Sports
Editor, A.J.E.P., who was responsible for the particular article to which you
took offence. We can assure you that he will be disciplined.
All the best in your Macintosh-using career, and send our regards to King
Arthur.
The SWR Committee
P.S.: If you intended this pseudonym of yours, "Sir Gallahad", to represent
the Arthurian knight of the Round Table (who was, as legend had it, destined
to retrieve the Holy Grail), the correct spelling is "Galahad". Of course, we
will assume that you intended this as a kind of creative mistake.
P.P.S: Just another small point: If you intended your other pseudonym, "the
Fumagator" as "one who applies fumes to; one who disinfects or purifies
with fumes", then the correct spelling is "fumigator". We will assume it to
be another creative mistake.
P.P.P.S.: We think you're very creative.

Well , . . almost,
Every year both the chapel choir and chamber choir (the chamber choir
being the smaller and more refined of the two) take part in various choral
eisteddfods. This year, unfortunately, we were denied our chance to defend our
many titles at the MacDonalds Performing Arts Challenge (formerly the City
of Sydney Eisteddfod) due to logistical impossibility, and were unable to
partake in others, such as the Hills Eisteddfod. Most disappointing was the
cancel lation of the Wagga Wagga Eisteddfod, a national eisteddfod of very
high standard. None the less, last Thursday and Friday the chamber choir
travelled down to Bath urst to compete there.
The works performed were Almighty and Everlasting God, by Orlando
Gibbons (as heard at the VI Form leavers service last Sunday), and Danny
Boy. Due to the high standard of singing at Shore, the many hundreds of
painstaking rehearsals, and the fact that there was only one other competitor
(last year's winner did not turn up!), Shore came away with a decisive
victory, scoring 90 and 88 respectively (each out of 100), giving a total of
178, leaving us 8 marks ahead of our hapless competitors. Congratulations
to all involved in the preparation and execution of the victory, especially Mr.
Dorich, who drove a mini-bus, and played the starting notes for both of the
pieces.
INSULT THROWING COMPETITION
Hey Man, Welcome to the grooviest competition around. The
competition to do the un-groovy in as groovy a way as possible, man. Man,
in this age of peace and tranquillity, what we don't need is people who don't
dig how groovy other people are. The people who do that just aren't with it,
man. But, man, if you just can't get into the swing of someone else's brain,
man, there are a few times when you can commit the un-groovy. This
includes the un-groovy times when someone scratches your Kombi or when
you've had enough and just want to mellow Out, but no one will let you. If
you can't live with the break you've got, man, you will need to do the most
un-groovy. Not many people know how, man, so this competition is to let
you focus your Karma on letting other people in Onto your wave man. All
you have to do is scribble us a little letter letting us know how you let
someone know you've had enough of there un-groovy ways. You could
pretend you're writing a letter to the editor about the length of things like
tips, the careers update, or the Japan. Anyway just so you can catch the tube,
here's a few happening lines from Bill Shakespeare, man,
'You are a knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base proud,
shallow, beggarly, three suited, hundred pound, filthy, worsted-stocking
knave; a lily-livered, action-taking, glass-grazing, super-serviceables,
financial rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldn't be a bawd in
way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar,
coward, pandar, one whom I will beat into a clamorous whining if thou
deni'st the least syllable of addition,'
If you can break the peace and commit the un-groovy in such a groovy
way, man. Then write your insult and send it in. Remember, it must be
printable, man. And also to ease you Out of your natural lethargic tutor
group state, man, fondue prizes may be offered.
FESTIVAL
September's 'Young Playwrights' Festival' at Loreto Auditorium
(featuring 'Pushed to the Edge' by Shore boy, Jackson Butler) was so
successful that a repeat performance will take place on Sunday 13th
November 1994 at 5.00 p.m. in the St. Aloysius Auditorium at
47 Upper Pitt St, Milson's Point, This is not only a treat for those who
have not seen Jackson's play, but also a wonderful chance for other budding
playwrights to see the winning plays performed and ask questions of the
adjudicators, actors and directors involved. Don't miss this terrific
opportunity to discover what works and what doesn't when putting together a
script or bringing it to life on stage. Seats are free but please let me know if
you wish to attend as numbers are limited,

KIANDRA TO KOSCIUSKO TREK
8th - 16th December 1994
The Shore Trekking Society will be running the famed Kiandra to
Kosciusko High Country Huts' Trek these coming holidays.
The length of this hike is approximately 110km. Beginning at Kiandra
and ending at Australia's highest point, most of the trek is on 4WD trails
(except the main range) and enroute many famous high country huts are
passed. At the conclusion of the trek several day's rest will be undertaken at
Lampada Lodge in Perisher Valley.
This hike is suitable for Form IV upwards, though younger boys can
apply. The cost of the trip which does not include food is $110. The trip is
limited to 9 boys. The staff attending the expedition are Messrs. Quail,
Weiss and Grimes. See Mr. Quail for more details.

STEREOGRAM
The Wallpaper Stereogram (Part 2):
Making Your Own
ljsing a simple draw/paint computer program (such as MacPaint for
Macintosh), wallpaper stereograms are relatively easy to create. To do this,
their underlying principles - how they "work" - must be understood.
The space (known as the pattern width) between the repeated elements
of a picture determines the depth of those elements when viewed
stereoscopically. Take the following row of "Q"s, a simple wallpaper
stereograrn:
Q Q Q Q Q
Each "Q" is an clement of the stereogram. Try viewing them
stereoscopically (that is, using your eyes to "double" each letter so that it
merges with the one next to it). You will find that each "Q" is at the same
depth, and as such, the pattern is flat. This is because each pattern width (the
distance between successive "Q"s) is the same for every pair of letters.
If the pattern width is altered slightly between some of the elements, the
following stereogram results:
Q Q Q Q Q
Pattcm \Vidth:
increased
decreased
increased
decreased
When viewed stereoscopically, the letters are alternately "down" and "up".
As a general nile: when two elements of a stereogram have a large
paltern width, they appear "luther hack", and when they have a
smaller pattern width, they are relatively 'close".
The elements of a stereograrn do not have to he letters (although letters
are olten the easiest way to go). Using a computer's copy-paste function,
simply copy and paste any image and drag it a small distance to the right.
This second image must be perfectly horizontally aligned with the first. To
achieve this, some programs allow mouse-dragging in only one direction by
holding down the SHIFT button on the keyboard while moving something.
By arranging arrays of different images at different depths, more
interesting wallpaper stereograins can be created, such as the one below.
A.W.H.Y.
Take about half a dozen good friends prepared to dine informally together
in a leisurely fashion, seat them around a table on which stands a communal
cooking pot half-full of gently simmering cheese-and-wine sauce, equip them
with crusty cubes of French bread skewered on forks with which they will
SCOOP up delicious mouthfuls of the ambrosial mixture. Now add a bowl or
two of French-dressed salad and what have you got? Right hrst (or maybe
second, or possibly even third) time! A fondue party.
This is the best way of having a casual, relaxed party because it can be
enjoyed by everyone. The host or hostess can relax because he or she has
done all the necessary work beforehand: and the guests can get a great kick
out of demonstrating how deftly they can twirl their fondue forks without
having their bread fall off and fall into the pot. (The really clever host or
hostess has given them a head start by leaving a firm crust on each cube of
bread, while the really adroit guest presses his or her advantage by pushing
the tines of his or her fork right through it so they stick out the other side,
thus preventing the bread from sticking to the bottom of the pot).
As the clever reader may have discerned from the previous extract from
Fondue Cookery by Marina Wilson, in celebration of the Shore Sixties
Record, I will be teaching the gentle art of fondue cookery. This is a really
great way to enjoy a meal as a family, it is quick, easy, yummy and most 01
all great fun. For those of you who have never experienced the magic of
fondue cookery before, here is my own favourite recipe.
The Guru's Gourmet Gorgonzola Fondue
You will need: 250g of Swiss Cheese
250g of Gruyere Cheese
bog of Gorgonzola Cheese
1 cup of chardonnay (ask your parents to provide it!)
3 teaspoons of corn flour
teaspoon of pepper
teaspoon of paprika
teaspoon of nutmeg
I clove of garlic
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
Heat the wine, lemon juice and garlic in the pot. Slowly melt the (grated)
cheese into this mixture. Stirring constantly, bring this to the boil. Add
paprika, pepper and nutmeg. Mix the cornfiour with a little more wine. Add
constantly stirring. Serve with cubed French Bread.
That's it!!!!!!!
Good luck and may the force be with you.

The day was miserable and wet, a great day for being indoors. A large
crowd turned up (including the Headmaster) to listen to the first performances
in the first lunch hour concert this term.
Pianist Albert Yung (II Form) opened the concert with a superb
perl'oritiance of the 'Gigue front English Suite No. 4" by J.S. Bach. Albert
is preparing for a Trinity College 7th Grade piano exam at the moment, and
in this year's music awards received the "Most Outstanding Performer" award
in both piano and violin.
Second was Chris Greenwell (III Form) who plays the Alto Saxophone in
the Senior Stage Band, and is no newcomer to the Lunch Hour Concert stage.
He performed the "Alto Saxophone Melodie" by Poulin, accompanied by
Mrs. Orchard. He played a difficult piece with care and feeling.
Next was Alex Mackay (lVth Form) who is an experienced Lunch Hour
performer and played Richard Rodney Bennett's "Monday's Child" on the
piano. He was well prepared and performed this sad piece rather sensitively.
Alex, who is also studying singing, received an encouragement award at the
Music Awards and is now sitting for his 4th Grade Trinity piano exam.
Then caine Andrew Campbell (Ill Form) who has been a percussionist for
three years now and is a member of the Concert Band. He played "Danse de
Ia Poupee" by Leo de Leibes on the xylophone, a light and very enjoyable
piece.
And last was Sheldon Munyard (11 Form), playing in the Lunch Hour
('oneert for the first lime, who performed the ".Iamaican Rumba" by Arthur
Benjaoiitt on the Tenor Saxophone. He played with confidence and clarity
and we will undoubtedly see him again on the Lunch Hour Concert stage.
All tip it was a great concert with excellent performances by all and we
hope to w'c you there next ume.

C.S.I.R.O. STUDEN'r RESEARCH SCHEME
This year two Fortrt V students participated in the C.S.1.R.O. Student
Research Scheme which enabled them to develop an understanding of the
work environment of a research establishment and so broaden their
perspectives regarding future employment opportunities. Both boys spent a
minimum of 20 hours in active research under the supervision of career
scientists during the term two holidays. Duncan Rintoul worked at the
University of Sydney on "The Preparation of Caesium Sulfate Alums" while
Jeremy Chase worked on "The Characterisation of a Protective Coating
Subjected to Overheating" at the University of N.S.W. Both projects are
part of on.going research of the participating scientists in these institutes,
and, therefore, are in the exciting frontiers of their respective fields. To
receive their certificates the boys each wrote a report on their research work
and gave a talk to their Science class about their experiences. They received
their certilicates on the evening of 20th October, 1994.

CRICKET REPORT
Shore 1st Xl v Grammar
Under a very grey sky, Michael Mesley, Captain of the 1st XI, won a
crucial toss and elected to howl on an uncharacteristically soft Northbridge
wickct. Hi. tossing remains unbeaten this season and is greatly admired by
the whole team. On this day the howling attack showed significant potential,
slowly grinding down the dogged Grammar batsinen in a very long day's
play.
Shore's opening howling also provided a scary and fiery display. The
sound of leather whizzing past the bat (anti the batsman's head) was a sign of
things to come. Scott Taylor was rewarded with the first wicket, brilliantly
caught in close by the safe hands of "Don" Falk. Grammar progress very
slowly due to tight and economical bowling by Peter Sachs, Angus Dorney,
Ed Cay and l-lamish Esplin. Peter and Hamish bowled particularly well,
sticking religiously to a niggling line, cutting and spinning the ball
respectively. Throughout a great deal of the day, the Shore bowling attack
dominated the batsmen yet somehow, even after so many fantastic spells,
wickets were very rare as were the chances.
The fact that Grammar lost nine wickets in the day can he attributed to
relentless and punishing Shore fielding. The fielders capitalised on any
chances, resulting in sharp catches being held by Phil Waugh, Angus Dorney
and Gus Roberts. The Out fielding and pressure applied by Shore kept the
bat.smen tied down. Special mention must go to Phil Waugh, who displayed
a safe set of gloves and great concentration as wicket-keeper all day.
The introduetion of a new ball late in the day proved to be the great
influencing factor in the day's play. Tim Packman performed skilfully,
ripping through the middle order with his movement in the air and off the
pitch - it is rurnoured he installed a remote control device in the new ball.
Scouy Taylor and Hugh Brakell also bowled a taut line (cricket play on
words), further containing the haLsmen late in the day.
After one hundred and fourteen overs, disciplined howling and fielding
plus ellective held placings by the Captain have restricted Grammar to 9-228.
With 51) many games washed out last Saturday, a good batting
performance by Shore tomorrow could see an early lead being created on the
competition table. Spectators are welcome to set up picnics, barbecues, fetes
or cheer squads - any support would be tnily appreciated.

Last Saturday's treacherous weather conditions and high pollution levels
(lid not prove to be a problem for the Surf Life Savers, with both patrol and
instruction groups having a full day's activity.
Instruction groups started off the day with a run to the trig station on top
of Long Reef headland, leading on to a solid hour and a half of instruction on
everything from board and tube rescues to radio procedure to resuscitation
techniques. Following this came a run to the Dee Why pool and some
intense swimming. Upon return, instruction continued unul the end of the
day.
Despite being rostercd for testing by the SLS board of examiners for the
proficiency of those patrolling the beach, the examiner failed to show up, so
the patrollers were left to their own resources. Nonetheless, the patrol groups
had a very full clay , with much proficiency training, and a golf course run.
Mr. Hunter represented Shore at a recently initiated course entitled 'Train
the Trainer'. This course is designed to teach those instructing others for
SLS awards methods of teaching and the most effective ways of training a
group for an exam. This is a new requirement for all instructors, without
which they cannot be awarded their instructor's certificate.
Next Saturday, November 5th, there will be an Shore Surf Life Saving
open day at Long Reef Beach, where everything will be on show for all to
see. During the clay there will hopefully be a parent-son swimming race, and
the day will conclude with a harbectie lunch, prepared by the parents of the
boys. All are welcome.

RESULTS FOR SATURDAY, 22ND OCTOBER, 1994
TENNIS REPORT
The delending GPS Premiers met Grammar on their newly constructed
tennis courts in the first round of the trial season. Grammar ret.ained five of
its six players from last season, and were always going to make it hard for
Shore.
As the morning drizzle faded away, so did Shore's tennis. Cam Reancy
and Nick Hood were outplayed in the No. 2 doubles, while debutants Piers
Fontaine and I-tarnish Anderson also found the going too tough. Shore's first
win came through the No. I pairing of Todd Woodland and Glen Bertram,
easily accounting for their hard-hitting opponents.
Cam Reaney was unlucky to face the biggest serve in the GPS, losing in
straight sets. Nick Hood took a huge fall during his singles match. Despite
the intensive first-aid treatment, he was unable to overcome his much smaller
opponent. Down four matches to one, it was now do or die. The latter
occurred, with Hamish Anderson losing to a very experienced opponent. In
perhaps the match of the day Piers Fontaine was involved in a titanic
struggle, showing courage in losing in a second set tie-breaker.
Down six matches to one, Todd Woodland fought well to win 7-5, 7-6.
One minute later, Glen Bertram walked off the court after his victory 6-2 in
the third set.
This resulted in a 6-3 loss to Grammar, which was a little disappointing.
However, I am sure we will regain our confidence after playing High on
Saturday at Northbridge.

LETTER TO THE
SWR
Dear SWR,
I have noticed that two new clubs have been formed recently. Namely, the
Shore Sci-fi Society and the Warhammer Club. The SSS came first, and
then the Warhamrner Club. It was interesting to note how a few days after
the Warhanimer Club came into existence, the SSS lowered its membership
from $2 to $1. The SSS has clearly recognised the Warhammer Club as
competition, and has acted accordingly. The Spirit of Competition is With
Us. As we so recently saw with the Optus and telecom thing, this is good
for us. I think it would be good if others took the initiative and formed clubs
of their own. Incidentally, I am not a member of either club.
P. Scott - Form 111
Thanks must go to P. Scott for his social commentary on the spirit of
conipetition!!! If anyone else has an opinion about anything from around the
school or part of everyday life write in - and it may just get pnnted! However
a question must be asked: How many people in the school have heard of the
Warhammer Club? This could be rectified by simply placing an ad in the
SWR - as the SSS has done in passed issues.
It was in the second week of the previous holidays that yours truly visited
Sydney's magnificent State Theatre to view Jesus Christ Superstar. This
seventies revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's magical musical is a stunning
exhibition of music, singing, lights, special effects and atmosphere.
This is certainly not your usual religious story if some of you are put off
by it's title. This production appears as a more of an out-of-the-air story,
rather than another view of Jesus' life and times. But for those of the
Christian faith in the school, it is not at all blasphemous, instead, a highly
enjoyable show.
We begin with the 8.00 p.m. start. Beforehand one can easily pop down
to the QVB for a quick bite or ask the expert Gourmet Guru for some 'cheap
eats' around the city. You then stroll up to Market Street where this
beautiful theatre stands and enter through the wide and generous doors, past
the box of lice (trusting you already have your tickets). If not, one can
purchase some at the door sales an hour before it starts.
You then enter the theatre to experience a sensation of tradition, art and
antique style. It is here I would recommend not wearing jeans and a T-shirt.
Dress pants and a shirt are something to be considered, unless you want to
feel out of place.
Upon coming to your seats you are placed in one of three levels, any of a
high standard. You look Out on a shiny silver stage with steps, towers,
lights and movable disks.
The perlorniance begins. One thing to mention is the costumes that are
of a very both standard, lull of colour, and a periect ingredient to the dance
movements perlormed. But the highlight of the evening is the light display.
For example. when performing the Crucifixion, Jesus is placed on a tall disk
with a pole placed, for him to hang his arms upon. At each end of the pole
are two red beams at his palms representing the blood when hung. Behind
him is a green light that shines out in a circular shape around his body, then
the stage fills with gas to produce an effect with the light, of a moving
tunnel enveloping the whole audience.
The cast also is of high standard, with special note to Noel Ferrier as
Herod, Demi Hines as Mary and Jon Stevens as Jesus.
Overall this production is definitely worth seeing, with enough
excitement to even keep the likes of a Shore boy interested.

Also name I pen-name must be given.
After a query from a member of you, our vast readership, as to why we did
not have some kind of column reviewing such things as theatre, music,
movies, etc. , this article was devised to deal with such material. Our first
review comes from outside the SWR Team , and we would like to encourage
others to join "The Spian's" example as the SWR does not have an
unlimited supply of cash to spend on theatrical productions, concerts and the
like. If you have seen a play, movies, heard a great band please review it and
give it in to the SWR to be printed. If you are not confident in wnting such
reviews, please writc in and ask for it to be reviewed by the SWRC. It would
help greatly if details : such as title, performance times etc. could be
provided.

THE PASSING OF AN ERA
It is our sad duty at the SWR to inform you of the ending of what has
been a long and prosperous life within the school. Last Thursday (not
yesterday but October 27th), one of the resident red chairs of 1208 passed
away. We must be thankful lor its long and fruitful association with the
school, ser\ ing it and the boys gallantly. However, on this particular
afternoon, it gave up its supportive role as it could not go on any more. It
had been so weakened over all the years of gallant service, that it collapsed,
breaking a leg in the process.

Original Contributions
Not one, not two, not even three, but four original contributions have
somehow found their way through the apple cores, orange rind and other
selections of recycled food of the Record Room box and into our hands this
week! Yes I did say four!!! The first you will find in the new column
"Consumer Review" (that's if you didn't skip that article because you
thought it looked boring!). The Second is a reply from one of our veteran
contributors - Sir Galahad (who we assume is the same Sir Gallahad from last
week, only now he can spell his name.)
SWR is the Holy Grail in my life! How cotild I pay it out? You're doing a
great job!
Sir Galahad
Sir Galahad,
We at the SWR are very pleased that we have provided something to follow
in your lt.' It you are looking for any more moral (Or otherwise) guidance,
please inuRe ynursell known to us, so we may direct your in your quest
through Ii Ic
THE SWRC
NB: In the spirit of Sir Galahad's last effort we have taken some "creative"
measures in printing his reply! - i.e. We deleted ONE word.
There was another letter which made reference to Sir Galahad ... or was it
Gallahad'> Anyway, because of its content there was much debate for its
inciusicin. it may appear, it may not - wait and see.
Invasion of the Space Gherkins
or
What Hugh Said, at Lunch
"Wanna see my gherkin?" said Hugh.
"No."
Shaking his head, Jonathan began a ham and cheese sandwich. It was not
without some interest, however, that he tumed back. From the corner of his
eye, he saw Hugh stride to the other side of the cafeteria and approach a girl.
She smiled, and came to sit down with him at the table next to Jonathan.
"So," she said, "tell me what happened next."
Hugh replied, eagerly:
"The hatch slammed shut, and I was left there in the dark. I could feel the
thing taking-off. Then, in the corner, I saw a green glow. I stumbled
towards it. Suddenly a bright light filled the room, and—"
A large crowd had gathered around his table. This pleased him. He
inned.
Jonathan was puzzled. Evidently, there was something to this weird
gherkin story. He squeezed through the circle, and, with some exertion,
finally reached the centre where Hugh was busily explaining the
complications of parking an intergalactic space vehicle in Hyde Park without
anyone noticing. This cheerful imbecility could, however, be excused; in his
left palm, he held a tiny hovering, pulsating, green disc.., about the size of a
slice of McDonald's gherkin.
Hugh began:
"It's not every day that I'm abducted by aliens in a flying saucer. Really.
It's just that they seem to have some kind of interest in me. Like I'm
special, somehow...
"The aliens are from a far-off galaxy on the other side of the universe.
They're green, of course, with three eyes (which helps them to see into the
fifth dimension) and two big mouths, full of fangs (which are not, they made
clear to me, for eating people). The aliens call themselves 'Aliens'. They
were qtiite surprised to find that that's what we call them, too.
"The Aliens and me just chit-chatted about small things. Like the present
number of nuclear missiles in Earth's possession, and stuff. I told them I
didn't know how many there were ... a few thousand billion, perhaps? They
seemed awfully surprised about this, so I assured them it was probably more,
but that they shouldn't be concerned, because the Cold War is over now, and
Russia and America are friends. They still looked worried, though.
"The Aliens are on a mission. I asked them about it, and they said they
were going to bring a New Era of Peace and Plenty to the world, but that
before they did, Earth should hand over all it's nuclear weapons to them. I
asked what for. They told me to shut up and stop asking stupid questions.
"I asked them how the New Era of Peace and Plenty would come about.
They told me. They seemed eager to tell me. Some kind of drug would be
used. It would somehow make everyone feel Peaceful and Friendly, and want
to hand over all their nuclear weapons. The drug would work differently in
different people. Some might feel the urge to break into military bases, steal
nuclear warheads, and pass them on to the Aliens at secret locations. Others
might simply feel Peaceful. It sounded nice.
Page 234
"I told them that humans are pretty violent, selfish creatures, and that this
drug would have to be really strong if it was going to be effective. They told
me it was, very. I asked if they'd heard about that beach at Gallipoli, and
how all the ANZACS were killed there because of that fascist Turk, Adolf
Stalin. They said, no, they hadn't.
"As the plan went, the drug would be hidden in a specially engineered
vegetable the earthlings would find irresistible to eat. One of these was
shown to me. It looked just like a gherkin, except that it hovered and
throbbed. I told them so. I also told them that no one on earth liked
gherkins, much less hovering, throbbing ones. The leader only smiled, and
explained that the humans were not going to eat the vegetable directly.
Rather, it would be concealed inside what they called a 'Big Mac'.
"I was stunned. He was stunned, too, when he found we already had Big
Macs on Earth, and that everybody always removed the gherkin before eating
them.
"Well, that made all of them pretty cross with me. They bared their teeth
and snarled, and told me in no uncertain terms that if I didn't have anything
constructive to say, they might divide me into small portions for horsd'iruvre. Meekly, I replied that they really should use ham instead of
gherkins, and, if at all possible, it should not pulsate and hover.
"They took my suggestion at its word, and, presenting me with a
souvenir slice of hovering gherkin (which you can see, here on the table),
returned me to Earth with a fresh batch of ham to distribute to all the
cafeterias in town—"
Already, Jonathan was beginning to feel strange. Leaving the unfinished
half of his sandwich, he walked Out the door and began the 50-mile hike to
the nearest military base where, for some peculiar reason, he hoped to find
some nuclear warheads.
Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, vegetarians were obliged with the spectacle of
the other ham-eaters Peacefully committing hara-kiri with plastic knives and
forks.
The New Era of Peace and Plenty had begun.

K.O.A.L.A. AUSTRALIAN LITERATURE AWARDS

br the prcseiitation of awards to the most popular writers of children's books.
ChaL wood primary School sang "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" (with
mimes); Richard Tulloch told one of his clever stories in an amusing style
reminiscent of Rowan Atkinson; 58 lucky door prizes were given away children's hooks donated by book companies.
High point of the occasion were the presentations to the most popular
authors. Disappointingly, Paul Jennings was absent for the Primary Section
Awarcl(for Undone); bitt, Bryce Courtenay was there to speak on receiving the

THE FAR SIDE is back, with the library's new display, a creative
tribute to the genius of Gary Larson. If you're keen on The Far Side, come
and take a look. If you're not, come anyway.
Since the beginning of the year, copies of every issue of The Sydney
Morning lleruld, and The Australian have been kept in the library. To assist
in the use of past papers, Newscan, a weekly subject index, has also been
introduced. It has since proved useful for students of General Studies,
Geography, Commerce, and even English, and should help those who have
only now been made aware of it.
Issues is a subject index for all the major magazine articles of each year.
Like Newscan, it is used most frequently by the General Studies Department.
Both New.scon and issues are shelved in ther browsing area, next to the New
Books section (near the magazines).

ROCKCLIMBIING
Alter practising bottom belay set up and calls at Lindfield on Saturday
22nd October it was time to put theory into practise on the much higher
cliffs at Wahroonga last weekend. Delicate manoeuvres practtsed haIfa metre
from the ground seem far more daunting ISm from the ground as some of the
climbers discovered.
The team is gradually building up to lead climbing and hence only top
belays were carried Out with the emphasis being on the selection of safe
anchor points and belay technique. David Allen led several climbs using a
combination of bolts and natural gear (hex, cams and nuts) and was ably
seconded by Owen Molloy and Alex Judge. A special mention must go to
Drew McCord who has the least climbing experience and did well to conquer
some of the climbs.
This Saturday will see all top belay climbs carried Out again at Palm
Beach. There is a range of climbs here that will be attempted up to grade 21.

BASKETBALL REPORT
'Two a cL'ks ago the Shore Firsts lost to Grammar by 12 points, Stuart
scored well with 33 points. Then last Wednesday week Shore defeated
Aloysius, coached by the flamboyant Don Lane, by 31 points. Hawkins
scored 27 in what was a one sided affair.
Last Saturday Shore beat last years premiers Sydney High by 20 points.
This was however a pre-season match and little importance was placed on the
outcome and more on the style of play. The game provided an opportunity
to run new of'f'ences and defences as do all pre-season matches. The standout
performance on Saturday was not that of the scoring but that of the bench.
The bench players played with an enthusiasm and skill level not seen this
season so lar. It seems Shore has passed another milestone on the road to
success, with the second five confident they can mix it with the best in the
G.P.S. The fact that Shore's scoring is well distributed highlights the
teamwork present in the Firsts. Teamwork is the essence of sport as
Michael Jordan said "II you think and achieve as a team, the individual
accolades a ill take care of themselves'.

Shore 1st XI v Grammar : Day 2
The weather told the fortunes of the day at Northbridge last Saturday. For
what started out as a bleak, overcast day, turned into a bright, sunny one that
demanded an excellent game of cricket.
Grammar resumed their innings from last week, starting at 9/228. But
the gallant Shore players were posed with the toughest problem of trying to
capture the last Grammar wicket. Shakily though they may have started, the
two tailenders managed to scrounge around and frustrate the Shore bowlers.
But a decisive bowling change saw Peter Sachs finally topple the last wicket,
but not before 30 odd runs had been put on. This left the Shore crew chasing
261 with 100 overs left in the da. No one in the 13 strong crowd could
have anticipated what was to happen!
All seemed normal as the Shore innings got under way - 2 umpires, 2
hatsmcn and a boisterous crowd, yet something was amiss and only a twinkle
in a blonde-haired, left-handed opener knew why. David Falk (or should that
he Sir David Falk) got Shore of 1 to a great start, pouncing on any loose
bowling with it hat that was waving magic. Fours were being dispatched
with aggression unparalleled in this universe (well in this game anyway) and
not even some ambiguous shots from 1-famish Esplin and Michael Mesley
could curtail it. Angus Roberts seemed settled in his stay before patting a
bowl Onto the keeper. Tim Packman then strode to the crease to have the
best seat in the house, watching David breathe fire out of his nostrils and
burn any bad howling. David notched up his 50 in the 13th over, but the
onslaught didn't stop there. Boundaries were plucked at will (one of the
poorer fieldsman) as the scoreboard looked like it was on steroids. All was
fine and dandy until Tim was bowled on 15 and Phil "the brick with an
attitude" Waugh seemingly found the confines of the change room were
delectable than the centre, and subsequently left after two balls for nought.
The Shore boat was looking a bit rocked at 4/169 still needing a further
hundred to win, but a wall of determination and defiance stood upright at the
other end. With David Falk, having been on a strict diet of no TV or
showers, nothing could possibly go wrong. Peter Sachs then sauntered out
to the middle in a way only he can do and set up playing a brilliant
supporters role (but not before he embarrassingly took out his hair rollers
from last night). David went crashing past the illustrious 100 mark, but
never gave up, even when a pillow and a free night's accommodation was
offered by the skinned Grammar bowlers. No one could get rid of David as he
gave the picket fence a real bruising. Peter played a very smart innings and
both were there at the end when David hit the winning runs.
Shore won by 5 wickets and went on to claim 6 impressive points.
Rarely has such an innings been played by a boy so young. David Falk
ended up on 174* after spending the whole game on the ground. He was
given a standing ovation as he came off and was last seen looking for a bed.
This win places Shore clearly out in front of the GPS table and this all goes
well for a great season. Dont miss next Saturdays game at Northbridge
versus Scots and be inspired by 11 young men giving their all (and even
more!).

TENNIS REPORT
Last Saturday saw the Shore lsts face Sydney High at Northbridge. After
our loss the previous week to Grammar, the team was keen to notch up a big
win.
The No. I doubles pair of Woodland and Bertram played effortlessly to
overcome their opponents. At No. 2 the pair of Hood and Dube played solid
tennis to win in straight sets. The No. 3 pair of Reaney and Anderson
overcame a lapse in concentration in the second set to also win in two sets.
Glen Bcrtiani at the No. I singles lost a closely fought battle, losing it in
the third set (i-I, 6-7, I-h. Todd Woodland at No. 2 won his match in
siraight sets despite some racquet trouble. At No. 3 Cameron Reaney played
well conceding only two games in his straight sets victory. At No. 4 Nick
Hood played strong tennis to comfortably overcome his opponent 6-0, 6-3.
Steven Duhe and Hamish Anderson were far too strong for their opponents
winning 6-2, 6-2 and 6-3, 6-3 respectively.
In the end Shore won 8-I. This has given us some much-needed
confidence heading into next weeks encounter against ScoLs.

Last Saturday saw the much enjoyed return of Mr. Scozzi back from
illness, with his crooked smile hiding nothing of his pleasure to be back in
the swing of things and Out in the sun. Although the day began with very
grey and dismal weather, the sun turned out in all its glory with perfect Surf
Life Saving conditions by the end of the day. With the all important
proficiency tests rescheduled for that day and the Life Saving exams only four
weeks awa), a busy day was in store.
Instruction groups started off the day not with the usual exercise, but with
a rotational instruction program. This involved 10 stations, with one
instructor at each station, teaching the same lesson to each group as they
rotated. This was the first time that had ever been done, and it proved to be a
most thorough way of teaching a specific part of Surf Life Saving.
Following this the instructors left to do heir proficiency test (which, of
course, they all passed) and the instructees ran to Warringah Surf; the regional
SLS headquarters where all of the radio messages are based. Here they were
given a lesson by a professional lifesaver as to the ins and Outs of the radio
base and how the radio net works. Upon return they finished off with the
customar> Run-Swim-Run.
The patrollers, as the instructors, had to sit a proficiency test. This test is
a retest of the skills learned in the Bronze Medallion, designed to ensure that
the patrolling life savers are still able to do so with the utmost of skill. To
pass one must he proficient in fitness (with a 200m run, 200m swun, 200m
run in under eight minutes), rescue procedure, first aid and resuscitation. As
is standard for Shore, not one patroller failed: a great credit to the patrol
captains Guy Robertson, James Marr, Rob Ayers, Bob Trigg, Callum
Macleod and Hamish Collingwood-Boots, part of whose job is to train their
patrol in proficiency in these areas, and Jay Lynch and John Gilmour (the
proficiency panel), whose job it is to test each patrol on a regular basis to
ensure a high standard of proficiency. Well done!
Parents and friends of the Shore community are all invited to Long Reef
on the 5th November for our first open day of this season. You are also
welcome to come down at any time during the moming and watch the boys
being put through their paces in both instruction and training. If we can get
enough volunteers we would like to hold a parent-son swim race, so find your
swimmers stashed away at the cml of last summer and get involved in what
should he it fun event (timed for about 11.45 am.). A barbecue lunch will he
available from about 12.00 p.m. onwards and if you would like to help in
any way please feel free to contact Jeremy Black's mother, Mrs. Fiona
Grifliths (tel. 498 3130) well before the open day.

Two recent achievements led inevitably to consultation with the record
hooks in order to compare outstanding performances of today with those of
yesterday.
In the first place, Phillip Emery, (Senior Prefect 1981) gained selection in
the Australian Test Team in Pakistan. The last time a Shore Old Boy
represented Australia was when Ted White (Senior Prefect 1932) toured with
the Australian Cricket Team in 1938. Prior to that Jack Gregory (1912)
represented Australia as a fine all-rounder in Tests during the 1920s. The last
time a former Sydney GPS cricketer played for Australia was Jimmy Burke
who left Grammar in 1948.
David Faik's 174 not Out last week against Grammar in a total of 5/263,
ranks among the higher totals scored by Shore boys in GPS competition.
Although there have been many centuries, there have been comparatively few
scores over 150 in recent times. The one day cricket competition between
1965 and 1987 eliminated the possibility for many fine batsnsen. Paul
Wansey scored 154 against Riverview in 1959, and in 1952 Philip Bramma
scored 205 not out against Grammar.
Norman Falk, grandfather of David scored 176 against The King's School
in 1911.
In the 1920s one encounters a phenomenon. Ben Salmon represented the
school cricket team for five years, concluding in 1924. During this time he
played for NSW 2nd Xl against the NSW 1st Xl (scoring 95) and was chosen
as iwellth roan against the touring MCC team. He scored numerous
centuries and during 1923 compiled three double centuries, the highest of
which was 225. Then in 1924 he amassed a total of 385 runs in one innings
in a total of 804 which became a Shore record innings total.
in still earlier years (about 1908) H Merewether produced a score of 185,
but the piece de resistance was that of 0 H Dean in 1905. Following a duck'
the week earlier, he scored 412 in an innings which lasted 210 minutes. This
was perlormed on North Sydney Oval against Newington College in a total
of 670. This remarkable innings established a New South Wales and
Australian Schoolboy Record, the previous record being 360 not out by Clem
Hill in Adelaide.
At the time the Shore total of 670 was a record, but it was exceeded three
years later when in a match between Grammar and Shore, the Grammar Team
totalled 916 in response to Shore's 301.
Are records made to be broken? It is hard to see either the 1924 total of
804 for a team, or 0 H Dean's 412 ever being exceeded.

LEAVERS' SERVICE
HEADMASTER'S ADDRESS
16TH OCTOBER 1994
For the last time, today you have heard read in this Chapel the School Old
Testament Lesson. Goodness knows how many times many of you will
have heard this wonderful passage from Deuteronomy read over the years.
For its provision, together with the new testament lesson we owe an
enormous debt to the schools founding Headmaster E I Robson, to Bishop
Barry, and perhaps also to those early members of Council who created this
great school on such a foundation.
I would like to say a few words about the relevance of the Old Testament
Lesson to those of you who are now leaving the school. Firstly, it is
significant that the sixth chapter of Deuteronomy from which the passage
comes, immediately follows the Chapter in which Moses conveys the ten
commandments to the children of Israel. This is why the opening verse in
Chapter 6 states fact: "These are the commands, decrees, and laws the Lord
your God directed me to teach you".
You may recall that following Abraham's excursion from the region now
known as Iraq and through the land now known as Israel, his descendants
eventually moved under Jacob's direction to Egypt where although under
bondage, the Israelite nation was preserved. After about 400 years there God
provided a leader in the form of Moses to take them out of Egypt to a land
which he had promised them would be their home. Their own land. You
know the story of the Exodus, and some of you will recall that after two
years in the desert the people of israel rejected the opportunity to enter the
promised land because they were just too frightened of what they saw in the
inhabiting nations. In consequence they were to spend the next 38 years
wandering through the desert so that in the end only two of their number,
Joshua and Caleb were to be permitted to enter that land.
This nation, the Jewish nation was to be the means for God to provide his
fulfilment for all mankind. His plan would be fulfilled in them, and he gave
them strict laws to follow because they were so special to him. The basis of
these laws was the ten commandments and they provide for Christians today
living in a community of changing and wishy-washy values, a succinct set of
absolute standards by which to live.
Now in Deuteronomy Chapter 6 as the people prepare to enter the land
God has some final injunctions. Interestingly, they are not to do with how
they should cope with difficulties. Rather, they are warnings about how to
cope with success. At this time in past years I have sometimes referred to
the need for the exercising of Faith and coping with the difficulties which you
will face in life after school. Let's look now however with the writer at how
to cope with success, for this is precisely what the school Old Testament
Lesson is about. It is not 'be humble in victory and gracious in defeat'. It is
not 'he modest about your achievements!'
Rather it is stated.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your strength".
The writer goes on, reinforcing its importance. "These commandments
are to be upon your hearts, impressed upon your children, spoken about at
home and going about your daily business. They are to be tied as symbols
on your hands and bound on your foreheads, written on the doorframes of
your houses and your gates". There is nothing uncertain about this
injunction is there. Indeed, devout Jews take some of it literally and tie little
parcels permanently to their forehead. But such devotion is not confined to
Jews. In 1990, (four years ago) Charles Colson who was one of the
Watergate gang that had been detected, suffered the ignominy of losing one of
the most senior positions in the American White House, and as a result came
into a new experience with God, was touring the Soviet Union. Because he
himself had spent time in prison, he was given special access to prisons in
different parts of the world, and when visiting the Soviet Union he came
across Alexander Goldovich, a Physicist who had been caught trying to
escape the Soviet Union by rowboat and for which he had been sentenced to
15 years hard labour.
('olson met Goldovich in the notorious prison Perm Camp 35 in the Ural
Mountains, surrounded by miles of Siberian wasteland. He describes the cell
as something Out of the middle ages - a dark concrete hole that looked more
like a cave than a cell. Nothing in it but a wooden bench and a dim light.
Goldovich was gaunt and lean but he had a radiant smile. Although the
KGB insisted on filming the interview Goldovich looked straight into the
caniera and fearlessly described years of torture and abuse. Colson marvelled
at his courage and then became aware of its source, for above the door, etched
into the concrete, was a cross. It was the symbol of the spiritual power that
had sustained Goldovich through all those years in prison.
Here sutely was a own who like Job remained utterly faithful in loving
the Lord his God with all his heart and soul and strength. There were no
trappings. No prestige attached to living in a concrete hole. No authority or
power over others. Just himself, his pit, his gaolers, and God.
In the passage in Deuteronomy God is aware that his people will be
living the opposite, and it is interesting to note just how often prosperity and
apparent success in fact gets in the way and cuts us off from God. It
happened to King David; to Solomon; and to Noah. Accordingly He
reminds the people of Israel that the things which they are about to inherit
they (lid flQI themselves create - neither the large flourishing cities; nor the
houses filled with all sorts of goodies; nor the water supplies; nor the
grapes and olives; nor the abundance of food. And God was at pains to point
Out that when they enjoyed such abundance and provision they should not
forget the God who brought them Out of the slavery and bondage in which
they had been part. God knew the dangers of the prosperity he was giving
them.
By many measures, all of you here have already enjoyed prosperity and
success. You are part of families which have been able to provide you with
one of the best educations available in the world. As anyone who has spent
time in other countries can testify, you are part of a land which is preity
much as Israel was described a land flowing with milk and honey. This is a
prosperous nation where we want for little, whatever the present difficulties
which we endure. And over the next few years you will undoubtedly secure
good qualifications to provide you with successful jobs, homes, family, and
perhaps even the capacity to send your sons back to this school.
The writer exhorts the Israelis not to be smug with their inheritence. Not
to be arrogant because of what they have been given in privileges. Don't you
think the same applies to those of us who are fortunate in our schooling, our
fain ily, our material provisions?
But I wonder how you will really cope as an adult with success? Perhaps
at this stage you don't seek an abundance of money, power, fame, or prestige.
Perhaps you are pragmatic enough simply to want an adequate HSC and then
success in your university exams or in forging a career, and then in finding an
attractive wife.
Well interestingly, God does not put any of these things at the top of the
scale. In the school Old Testament Lesson in the concluding verses he
stipulates four requirements for successful living.
I Fear the Lord. As 1 look about our society today I wonder how
many people truly fear the Lord. When one hears the blasphemy and the
casual, flippant references which use the name of God in vain, one detects no
sense of respect or awe. Indeed such language is often coupled with the most
vile of obscenities. And for those of us with Christian commitments, do we
fear God - or do we just treat him as a pal?
2 There is the injunction not to follow other gods. The land into
which the Jews were about to go contained many religions, but probably no
more Wan exist in our world today. But there are other gods which are much
more subtle and which too easily envelop a person. The god of making
money of gaining power and authority; of fame in sport; attaining a
prestigious job - these are empty gods but they capture many. None need be
wrong in itself . but to pursue them above all else is to put God second.
3 Keep the commandments. I wonder how many of us here today
can say that we keep the ten commandmenLs - each one of them. Let mc try
you on just a few. Honour your father or mother? Don't misuse the name of
the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before me. Don't covei
your neighbour's wife nor anything that belongs to your neighbour.
4 Do what is right and good in the Lord's sight. One of the
sadnesses of Western civilisation today is the relativism which abounds. I
remember many years ago asking a class of mine at another school to tell me
if it was ever right to be dishonest. Do you know how they responded? "It
depends", they said. There followed a fascinating discussion in which I learnt
how variable were the standards by which some of them sought to measure
their behaviour and that it was perfectly all right to lie at certain times, and
that getting even with someone who is perceived to have done you a
disservice was quite acceptable. Mind you, I shouldn't have been surprised
because I think when it comes down to the bottom line, there is not much

lead given within our society. There is appalling dishonestly displayed
amongst some business leaders and politicians for example, and they are only
the ones who get the publicity. So the standards wont be found simply by
looking at other people. Nor is it good enough in my opinion to simply
work out what you think is right. The standard given in verse 18 of
Deuteronomy is "do what is right and good in the Lord's sight". It is
unequivocal.
A short while ago I was talking to a reporter from the Sydney Morning
Herald. She wanted to know who were some prominent Shore Old Boys who
had been successful in life. I hedged for a time. I knew perfectly well the
sort of person she wanted me to tell her about - they were largely those who
had achieved prominence in their various fields of endeavour. Many of them I
have come to know and admire greatly as people. But it made me think, for
here again 1 would be supporting the notion that success is to be measured by
the job you hold; the size of your income or of your house; the nature of
the holidays which you enjoy or the car which you drive, or the clothes
which you wear. There are of course many Shore Old Boys who meet these
criteria, many of whom are in my opinion successful quite apart from any of
these trappings. And there are thousands more who have gone through this
school who have become valuable and contributing members to the
comniunity because of much deeper and more important qualities which they
possess. I have no doubt that the sort of people they are or were reflects
greatly on the families which raised them as well as on the school which
contributed. Their success has been measured by their desire to do what is
right in the Lord's sight.
And this is my wish and prayer for you young men who are now
preparing to leave the school in a few months. If your sights are firmly set
on the message contained in the School Old Testament Lesson you will have
the recipe for real success in life.
But take it a little further. When Jesus was asked by the Pharisees
"What is the greatest commandment in the law" he replied referring to
Deuteronomy: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind". This is the first and greatest commandment.
And then he added "the second is like it; Love your neighbour as yourself".
Do what is right and good in the Lord's sight that it might go well with
you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord has promised for
your future.
And may God bless you, each one.

HEADMASTER
MIJSIC STAll C©%C[T
it is always a pleasure to attend a concert in the Smith Auditorium, but
the concert held on the evening of Tuesday, 1st November promised to be of
particular interest. This occasion provided an opportunity to experience the
Shore Music Stall performing for their pupils.,colleagues and friends of the
School Staff concerts have long been a feature of life at Shore, and it
seemed most appropriate to be celebrating the Feast of All Saints with so
hallowed a tradition.
The evening had many memorable moments, quite apart from the sudden
cut to most of the power by a severe electrical storm. The performers and
stage crew coped remarkably well with the difficulties caused by this
untoward event, and all appeared to run smoothly and calmly on stage. In
fact, inoperative microphones continued to be produced effortlessly and
removed on cue, much to the entertainment of the audience.
Dorrilyn Collins opened the concert with a violin performance of high
quality, accompanied with lively sympathy by Margaret Orchard. The trio of
pieces chosen represented a range of European styles and atmospheres, from a
beautiful Allegro by Fiocco via the brilliance of Sarasate's Romanza
Andoluiza to the gipsy fire of Monti's famous Czardas. The audience was
delighted to welcome so versatile and charming a performer back later in the
evening to join the very entertaining guitarist Tony Larwood in a spirited
performance of the Russian folk song, Dark Eyes.
Larwood is not the only member of the Music Department with a lively
sense of fun: Lindsay Both and Mark Scott brought gentle comedy to a
delightful Allegro Sostenuto by Beethoven, adapted for two clarinets;
Margaret Orchard and Robert Fox outcamped E.F. Benson's Lucia and
Georgic with their piano duets; and the flautists Emma Knott, Francis
Griffin, Lisa Brekenridge and Keith Griffin showed delicate good humour in
their presentation of a collection of musical vignettes on cat themes. They
had made their own arrangements for their four 'eclectic flutes' and the result
was imaginative and entertaining.
The brass section was ably represented by Amanda Edwards, playing a
piece for horn by Saint-Saens, and by Marcus Stafford's Concert Study for
trumpet by Goedicke, accompanied by Jodie Atkins, William Moxey,
although unable to perform the anticipated Gounod aria, sang Schuberts
poignant Erlkonig and the most amusing Irish folk song, The Stuttering
Lo ver.s.
Certainly the most original performance of the evening was the
composition Gondwana, performed by Nick Buff on saxophone and Robert
Webber on dtdgendoo. Intriguing and unusual, the result of this combination
of instruments was effective, although the development of the patterns of
rhythm to the final conclusion was too prolonged in this context. This
tendency of the more extempore performances to overstay their welcome also
affected die final item of the concert, when Peter Dorich was joined by Tony
Laruood and Don Oshorn. They performed on an extravagant array of
instrunlents that took far too long to assemble, and much of the effect was
lost due to the unavoidable absence of amplification.
The audience would certainly have consented to hear more of the pianiste
Marie- Louise Catsalis, whose dramatic and passionate performance of three
Gershwin preludes simply whetted our collective aunetite.
Overall the concert was a vaguely engaging mixture of light-hearted and
serious performances sometimes difficult for the audience to distinguish. The
attcnlpl to include so many members of the peripatetic and full-time music
staff was ambitious and commendable but it is unwise to make too heavy a
demand on an audience: better to leave it begging for more. However, it is
encouraging to see so many of those directly involved in the musical life of
Shore prepared to give of their time and talents in such a concert as this. It
can only benefit our young musicians to experience such an occasion.
Thanks must go to Robert Fox and Margaret Orchard for giving them, and
others of us in the School, this opportunity.

BlIP SCIENCE AWARDS
On Thursday the 3rd of November, finalists in the 1994 BI-IP Science
Awards: S. Bedrossian, M. Ferdinands, P. Hooke and E. Martin were
involved in an educational field trip to Canberra. The trip was part of the
prize for the 80 finalists in Australia of the 1000 odd entrants in the
competition.
We assembled at the airport early Thursday morning for the flight to
Canberra. After a short flight, we arrived and were shown onto the coach we
would travel in for the day. Our first stop was the national Headquarters for
the CSIRO, where we picked up the finalists from the ACT. We then
travelled to the Australian Institute of Sport, where we were given a guided
tour of the complex. Specialists from the Institute gave us a ' behind the
sceties' look at the preparation for an event by giving us talks on physiology,
No iiiechianics, psychology and physiotherapy.
After a much appreciated lunch break we travelled to Questacon, The
National Science and Technology Centre. The day ended with the bus trip
back to the airport, stopping briefly at CSIRO to drop off the ACT finalists.
In all, the field trip was a worthwhile, interesting and an enjoyable
experience. It showed us some practical applications of Science in our
Society. The overall winners of the competition are to be announced very
soon, so wish us luck.
E. Martin, P. Hooke
M. Ferdinands, S. Bedrossian
P.S. Shore had our finalists. Paula Hooke (IVA) has won the National
BHP Prize for his Physics entry.

INSULT THROWING COMPETITION

mistaker, punctuation mistakes, grammatical mistakes, examples of
diplography and dodgy lines of reasoning are the work of the
author, "MNNM'
Dear members of the SWR,
As a person with a keen interest in the Record, I am writing to inform
you of the low standard of your publication. It isa sad thing when
the most interesting thing in the record is the 'Careers Update'.(lt is
also a sad thing when the most interesting thing in a letter is the way
it looks attached to a dartboard [as was the case with this one. So
far it has 14 holes in it; almost as many as the Bros album] - SWRC)
The book reports are boring (You should watch what you say about
the Bookie. He can become very violent when angered - SWRC) and
the editorials are becoming increasingly poor, and the Stereogram need I say more? (No, I think we've all had enough of this limp letter
- SWRC) I will, just in case. The Stereogram is the most boring,
stupid and pathetic space-filler that there has ever been in the Record
(Really? We thought this was - SWRC)
Last week's record was one of the better ones. It had a deceni
editorial, some pictures (Obviously the actual articles were too much
for you. In order to help you overcome this problem, we, the SWR,
will soon be releasing SWR:The Picture Book and SWR:Pop-up
Edition in order to keep people like you informed - SWRC) and the
competition which I am taking part in (which wasn't even mildly
amusing) I would be very surprised if you have have not received
hundreds of letters similar to mine in response to your competition.
If you have not, I would be because no-one bothered to read the
article as they were sick of falling asleep each time they read the
Record. (We have no idea what this part means. We think it might
mean that "MNNM" would be surprised ([we received hundreds oj
letters, but he would also be surprised ([we dtdELI receive hundreds
of letters. Obviously the writer lost it at about this point - SWRC) The
prizes are also pathetic. A h.alf-eaten $I mixed (why don't you do an
article on that Mr (iourmey (sic) Guru)(We are also mys4fied as to
why the Gourmfj Guru would want to do an article on 50c mixed SWRC). A bunch of handicapped monkeys with typewriters could do
better than you. (But handicapped monkeys with typewriters would
have been able to write a more insulting letter than this - SWRC)
Yours sincerely,
NINNM
(Tutor Group withheld for MNNM's
own protection [[rom his English
teacher, after he/she reads this letter])
P.S. This is a good space filler. (So good, in fact, that it is even now
filling a space in the Record Room bin - SWRC)
P.P.S. Don't try and ridicule me (That's like asking Mr Gorham to
stop pumping iron - SWRC)
P.P.P.S Writing lots of P.S.s isn't funny (Ve,y appropriate, then,for
this letter -SWRC)
Although we are pleased to receive this letter, it would be appreciated
if future entries could be more easily understood, or at least more
challenging to burn.
PLAY OF THE WEEK
Last Tuesday at Northbridge 'B' ground, Toby Mendl played a cut shot
over the fence into an oncoming car. At the time, nothing was thought of
the incident, but later that week Toby received a phone call from a rather irate
Pajero driver. After demanding that he be paid $48 for damage to his car, he
announced that he would come up to school to see Toby and collect his
money. After writing this statement off as a threat, Toby was later asked to
go down to Hodges House as someone wanted to see him. When he arrived,
he was greeted by a rather red haired Housemaster, who owned up to the
practical, and sent Toby on his soiled way.

CRICKET REPORT
Very small surf and sunny weather conditions made for a most promising
open day last Saturday at Long Reef. The beautiful weather ensured that there
was no time lost in getting to the activities of the day.
The very calm conditions gave Andrew Smailes the perfect opportunity
and continue his driving lessons on the IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat).
Despite his efforts to the contrary, the boat remained in an upright position
for the duration of his training run. Congratulations Andrew!
The patrollers barrelled straight into a morning of intense activity;
running, wading, swimming and generally exhausting themselves all along
Dec-Why beach, Long Reef beach and the Long Reef headland up at the trig
station.
Most of the instruction groups went straight into the water with mock
rescues aplenty all along the northern end of the beach. After a demonstration
of the 'spinal carry' by the instructors at around 11.15 a.m., a short
instruction period led into the parent-son run-swim-run.
This event, held at every open day, had its participation rate boosted as
never before seen by the fine weather and choppy but non-threatening surf. It
was viewed most keenly by the hoards of students, most of whom vowed
then and there to maintain their fitness levels throughout their lives, so that
they too would be able to partake in the equivalent race when they were the
parent, rather than the student. Congratulations must go to the winners.
After this came a spectacular run-swim-run, with every boy in the sport
participating. The winner, Jeremy Black, who was followed very closely by
our resident showpony fitness psycho Callum Macleod, was heard to have
said after the race "I never could have done it without my goggles".
mmmmm, I think that there's something in that for all of us, don't you?
With the business end of Surf Life Saving coming ever near, the exam
preparation begins to get very serious. With the possibility of the Part A
(written paper) section on yesterday, and if not next week, the heat is on for
the ins tructees and instructors. Good luck to all those Ilird Formers
especiall. who inay have their part A in the middle of their exams.

Day 1
At 10.30 am, on Saturday the Northbridge wicket was grassy and two
paced.
Michael Mesley and David (174 no.) Falk went to the centre to conler.
Shore lost the toss and was sent in to bat, with the two openers, David Falk
and Hamish Esplin, looking to see Out the first hour. This went all wrong
when Hamish tried to glide the bail through first and second slip and Michael
soon i'ollowed him back to the pavilion.
To Scots' disadvantage, our second drop, Angus Roberts was in fearful
form. We were all encouraged when Gus overtook Dave's score in relatively
few overs and consolidating his start went on to make a total of 108 runs.
Falk was bowled for a stylish 33 and was followed by Peter Sachs who did
not see out a confident start past 27. Things then took off again with Angus
(tough guy) Dorney making 72 - stabilising the ship in an impressive
partnership with Roberts.
A late order collapse after Angus Roberts' departure meant the loss of 5
wickets for 19 runs.
With 280 runs all out, Shore went in to bowl for the remainder of the day
- a full 20 overs.
Some wide wood bowling at the beginning settled down and a tighter line
brought the fail of one wicket to Angus Domey and a beautiful direct hit by
Hugh Brackel leaving Scots at 2 for 40 at stumps.

BASKETBALL REPORT
Last Saturday Shore was defeated by Scots, as those who read the Sunday
papers will know. What they won't know however is that J. Stuart did not
play. Neither for that matter did Rob Knox as he was also injured. The
game was a much slower paced and lower scoring type game than Shore
normally plays. The final soore was only 65-49. A. Hawkins scored 14 and
A. Aranda 9. Shore fielded a weakened team on Saturday with two members
of the starting five out. A number of Seconds players where brought up to
the Firsts for the weekend. The most noteworthy of apperances was
uldoubtably that of James Gribble. Gribble crashed the boards and was a
gieat contributor on the court, which can be seen in the amount of court time
the coach gave him. Perhaps however, at the risk of blowing one's own
trumpet, the most memberable moment was Hawkins tearaway Slam
Dunk. That's right an almost non-existant part of the Shore (and GPS)
game was deployed in one fraction of a second last weekend. The Scots team
played well and deserved the win. Even though Shore played a less than
perfect game they achievd one thing. The Shore forwards were able to shut
down the Scots big man, displaying some awesome shot blocking skill.
This should prove important as the season progresses.
Last week the depleted Shore team made the trip out to Knox to play a
Thursday match. The final score was 75-55 in Shore's favour but the game
was a little dissapointing, as sloppy play and complacancy crept in. With
both Staude and Stuart out injured it was up to the remaning 7 players to
play. Shore's height and shot blocking dominated inside the paint and
intimidated the much smaller Knox side. Hawkins scored 27 points, most of
which came from the low post, the young guns Knox and Hercus also scored
14 and II respectivly.
A.J . H.
A very wtndy Saturday at Barrenjoey Headland became a real test for skills
learned so tar. Two bottom belay climbs were set up and two top belay. The
exposure certainly gave some boys a fright as several were nearly 'blown oil"
the cliii face on more than one occasion.
The climbs were approximately 15m in height and ranged from grade 46 at the main venue with a "jugg" but short overhanging grade 21 climb
being attempted on the Headland.
Some lead climbing was done by David Allen who was seconded by the
very enthusiastic Owen Molloy and Alex Judge. Alex Yim and Nic Carter
put into practise their abseiling skills by using two different methods of
descent - by Fig. 8 and by the use of the sticht plate.
This week will see a return to Wahroonga where hopefully some bolted
lead climbs will be attempted.

TENNIS REPORT
Still confident from their win over High, the Shore IsIs went over to
Bellesue Hill ready 10 notch up another big win against Scots.
Playing at No. I the pair of Woodland and Bertram easily overcame their
opponents, winning in straight sets. The No. 2 pair of Hood and Dube found
the going a bit too hard on the day and despite some great volleying
exchanges lost in two sets. The No. 3 pairing of Reaney and Anderson were
too strong for their opponents winning the match in two sets.
In the singles Glen Bertram found the form that had deserted him the week
before and took only a short time to despatch his opponent 6-0, 6-1. Todd
Woodland playing at No. 2 breezed through his match winning 6-1, 6-4.
Cameron Reaney showed some fine form and like the previous week, again
only conceded only two games to win 6-2, 6-0. At No. 4 Nick Hood
overcame a slow start, to show guts and determination winning in three sets
4-6, 6-3, 6-4. Steve Dube playing at the No. 5 position overcame his larger
and more experienced opponent to win in straight sets 7-5, 6-4. At No. 6
Hamish Anderson quickly overcame his competitor winning the match 6-3,
6-2.
This strong 8-1 win against Scots has given us some good match practice
going in to next week's encounter against a strong Newington team.
The Seconds had a very convincing win 9-0 at Northbridge.

Boys may hand in 1994 texts for sale to the Second Hand
Book Stall on Friday 25th. Boys wishing to order second
hand texts for next year are to hand in order forms at the
same time.
During camp week, all second hand book orders will be
processed and books may be picked up on Monday 5th
December (last week of term). Please note, however, that
it may not be possible to fill every order.
Bellbird lists are to be handed in by Tuesday 6th at the
latest. This deadline is deliberately one day after the
date when second hand texts are due to be picked up, so
that boys will have time to add to their order, if a
particular text is not available through the Second Hand
Book Stall.
Belibird orders (for new texts) will be processed during
January and pre-packs will be available to boys on the
first day of Term I next year.
Please note:
Plenty of time is available to organise 1995 texts. If you
to use the School's official Book Supplier (Bellbird), you
complete the appropriate order form and hand it in before th
of term.
IN 1995 BOYS WILL N.01 BE PERMITTED TO PURCHASE

This following submission" (using the term as loosely as possible) was
recently unearthed from the Record box. Although it was tempting Just to
publish the letter and let The Linguini Man burn himself, we felt that some
of these comments had to be made (and to dig 'The Linguint Man's" grave
even deeper than he had dug it himself). Again, the letter is published as it
was received, complete with spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors, S WR C
Dear SWR,
I think this year's SWR is the worst ever! I wouldn't even count the page
numbers if I was the Count from Sesame Street! (We think the reason for
this is that the SWR page numbers, which can be up to ihree whole digits
long, would be too much for "The Linguini Man" to handle without the aid
of either a calculator, a Maths teacher, or a crash course in Kindergarten
finger-counting - SWRC) I wouldn't accept it if someone chucked it Out and
I was Oscar the Grouch! (Obviously "The Linguini Man" thinks of himself
as Oscar the Grouch, which reveals a lot about him - SWRC). It's a lump!
It's so crocked that if Sir Gallahad (sic) was lying face down in his own pool
of blood with a dagger sticking out of his back and his last request was to
read the SWR (very unlikely!) I wouldn't tum him over! (We actually agree
with this statement, mainly because the only reason Sir GaJ.uhad would have
a dagger in his back would be because we had put it there ourselves - SWRC)
,And who ever heard of an Insult Throwing Competition. What kind of a
Jones mobile would come up with that! I wouldn't write into it if it would
save my life (you're lucky that isn't necessary [i.e. to write to us to save your
life], if the standard of this letter is anything to go by - SWRC). I hate it

(The link between the

that a mini (sic) volcano would erupt in the SWR room and you die such a
slow agonising death that your dieing (sic) words are "I've never had a giant
turnip for breakfast"! (Hm,n,nm. Yes, Right. Okay. We think "The
Linguini Man" has already burnt himself enough with that line without us
needing to make a comment SWRC).
from The Linguini Man!
The Linguini Man seems to have chosen himself as the subject of his entry
in this competition. Although last week we requested letters that would be
more challenging to burn, "The Linguini Man" has made our work much
easier by burning himself so well. Thank you for considerately reducing our
workload, but part of the fun of the competition was for ua to do some
burning. - SWRC

STEREOGRAM
Slet euscupie Visiwi &
The Photographic Stereo-Pair
Part 1
I he human brain is the most sophisticated virtual reality machine ever
discovered. Since the beginning of time, Man has attempted to understand,
and recreate, the ability of our brains to perceive distance and depth.
Stcrcoscopy is the study of this three-dimensional vision. From the earliest
times to the age of computers, it has given rise to some of the most
captivating images evei sesu.
Stercoscopy has its origins in the Stone Age. Some of the early
paintings at Lascaux (dating from around 15,000 years ago) were painted on
boultiess satltes Lliau flat walls. delibetately to give au effect of life-like Useedimensionality when viewed in the flickering fire light. Later, philosophers
and sciPnticic hogan to iindorvrand the actual mechanisms by which our eyes
and brain tell apart a hat from a 3-D image.
When we see in three dimensions", our brains are in fact taking two
slightly different two dimensional images of the same thing (each from the
diffeient peispeetive of each eye) and fusing thelli together. The plienomnenoim
is known as binocular parallax, or stereoscopic vision, and the
images from each eye are known collectively as a stereo-pair.
Not all creatures see the world in this way. Horses and some lish, for
csamplc. have eyes on the. sides of mhir heads, They have a wide field of
view, but no ste.reoscopic vision. Animals such as cats and humans have
eyes on the fronts of thcir heads, providing a relatively limitcd ficld of view,
but the full three-dimensions.
The reason for the differences in eye-positioning through the animal
kingdom is an evolutionary one. Predators (cheetahs, for example) require a
perception of distance to see their prey, and therefore stereoscopic (eyes in
front) vision. Without such vision, a cheetah is unable to see whether its
prey is one metre or five metres away, as it approaches. On the other hand,
creatures which are preyed upon need to know when predators are nearby,
necessitating a wide field of view, and eyes on the sides of their heads.
Interestingly enough, stereoscopic vision in humans has been attributed to
the fact that our ancestors lived in trees. Without a perception of distance, the
hypothetical ancestral primate would have been unable to navigate its way
through the complicated maze of branches as it swung from tree to tree.
Three-dimensional vision has been studied for over two thousand years by
such minds as those of Euclid, Leonardo da Vinci, and Descartes. It was not
until 1839, however, with the advent of photography, that stereoscopy began
as a world-wide craze that continues, in various forms, to this day.
It was Sir Charles Wheatstone who devised the first artificial stereo-pair,
the first form of stereogram. His technique involved two photographs of a
scene from slightly different perspectives, imitating the distance between a
pair of human eyes. It was then possible to view the pair of photos (a
photographic stereo-pair) as though they were the natural stereo-pair images
generated by the eyes. Using the parallel-eye viewing technique, the two
photos could be fused by the brain, and a three-dimensional image of the
original scene observed. Because a number of people found this technique
difficult to master (including Queen Victoria and Prince Albert), Wheatstone
also invented a device with which to view the picture more easily.
On the opposite side of the page are some examples of photographic
stereo-pairs.

Shore Weekly Record
BASKETBALL REPORT
CRICKET REPORT
Shore 1st XI v Scots
With an extremely fast outfield and excellent batting conditions working
against us the pre-match atmosphere was as tense as one of Angus Dorncy's
taut lines". Scots were to resume at 2/40 after Shore had made a reasonable
279.
Scots put on as many runs as there were good jokes in Pete Sachs cricket
report last week, before losing the first wicket of the day. Hugh Brakell
bowled the Srrits haisman amund his legs leaving the score at 3/40.
The first session saw many wickets fall through tight bowling and
fielding as well as some sharp catches from Dave "He didn't hit it" Falk,
Mike Mesley and Phil Waugh. At lunch Scots had a total of 9/122.
After a long lunch break the team returned to the field determined to take
the last wicket without delay. Unfortunately the pair put on an annoying 34
for the last wicket and it wasn't until half an hour after lunch that the last
wicket fell. Scots were all out for 150, still 30 short of avoiding the follow
on.
A revised opening attack of Tim "The Mouth" Packman and Scott Taylor
were there to greet the Scots openers and it was only three overs before
Taylor struck. With a sniff of victory, the sides fielding and bowling lifted
and ScoLs were having a tough time of it. Shore were riding high on the scent
of victory and something Gus Roberts slipped in the cordial at drinks.
All the bowling changes were sucessful ones and some good bowling
from spin twins Hamish EsWame and Ed May saw Scots staring down the
barrel at afternoon tea at 4/70.
Shore were in with a chance, and another wicket fell early in the session
to Angus Dorney, beating the batsman with sheer pace to gain a good
L.B.W. decision. A good spell of bowling from Dorney and the spin twins
was unlucky not to break through, many swings and misses were the order of
the session. The Scots team hung in there, the sixth wicket partnership
lasting for an hour and twenty minutes for only 26 runs. Special mention
must go to Phil Waugh who kept wickets brilliantly all day, letting through
only two byes and taking a brilliant five catches.
A double bowling change saw Shore revert to its "Sultans of Speed"
Scottus "The Larrus" Taylor and the young Hugh Brakcll. Newly appointed
vice-captain, Taylor led by example, snaring three wickets for the innings and
being on a hat trick at one stage. On the first ball of his spell, Brakell almost
knocked the batsman's head clean off his shoulders and this delivery excited
the team once again. With hardly a man in the outfield, Hugh bowled his best
spell of the year, finally snaring the last wicket. Ed Cay took a marvellous
dolly to earn Shore the outright victory and himself many vigorous
handshakes.
Next week Shore faces up to its toughest task yet, pre-season competition
favourites St.Ignatius, at Riverview. It would be great to see some of you out
there over the next two weeks to cheer us on to another big win.

Last weekend the Shore team played Newington. These encounters have
recently been very hard fought affairs and Saturday was no different. The
Newington team had not dropped a match in the pre-season and was being
touted as the favourites. As the clock was winding down Alex Aranda hit
two crucial free-throws to put Shore in the lead by one, Newington had time
for one last shot. The shot went up and missed, but they got a second
chance from a Shore mistake and just as the buzzer went off launched another
prayer shot, but it fell short. The final score was 65-64, a one point victory
to Shore.
Both teams got into foul trouble, with the Newington hot shot leaving
the game quite early in the second half. Shore's foul trouble saw a few
starters sitting on 4 fouls. This allowed the Newington team to get some
easy buckets, due to some weaker defence.
The game did not start well for Shore, after the first couple of minutes
Newinglon was ahead 10-2. However Shore managed to cheek the score line
and was ahead 34-30 at half time. The second half was a see-saw event with
the lead changing a number of times. Rob Knox came back on the court and
scored 8 straight points before being heavily fouled. Josh Stuart scored 22
points and Andrew Hawkins 24.
Ryan Flury played his second game in the Firsts this weekend and
continued improving. A sharp shooting guard, having worked on his
defensive skills, landed some significant court time.
On the previous Wednesday Shore again played another CAS school and
continued on its unbeaten run. St. Aloysius was crushed by 40 points. The
outstanding performance was that of Nick Hudson, he shot exceptionally
well with a very high percentage of shots made for his 24 points.

TENNIS REPORT
Last Saturday, pre-season leaders Shore, met Newington at Northbridge.
With on court temperatures moderate, we looked forward to an exciting
afternoon of tennis.
The No. I doubles pair Woodland and Bertram fought Out a tight first set
which they eventually won 7-5 and then were overpowered by their opponents
to lose the next two sets 6-4, 6-1. The No.2 pair Reaney and Anderson went
down to stronger opponents 6-3, 6-2. At No. 3 Hood and Dube lost the first
set 6-4, but came back in the second set to level the match at one set all only
to lose the third set 6-3.
Glen Bertram our No. 1 singles player put in a good showing against his
much more experienced opponent to lose 6-3, 6-4. Todd Woodland at No. 2
was level with his opponent at one set all at 5.30 p.m. when play ceased.
The No. 3 and No. 4 players Cameron Reaney and Nick Hood both lost in
three set matches. Stephen Dube at No. 5 and Hamish Anderson at No. 6
both lost to their respective opponents.
The result of the afternoon was that Newinglon defeated Shore by 8 1/2 1/2. This result has in no way dampened our enthusiasm, nor squashed our
confidence for the upcoming matches of the season.
The 2nds registered another victory on the weekend by defeating
Newington 5-4.

LIFE 54I1H(
All the Shore surf-lifesavers rolled up to Long Reef Beach nice and early
on Saturday, looking forward to the forecast 28-degree summer heat and
picture-postcard conditions. As usual, however, nature defied the forecasters
and produced a granite sky accompanied by a strong sea-breeze that kept
temperatures low. Nevertheless, the life savers battled the cold and the
choppy water generated by the sea-breeze to complete a full-morning's
activities.
The instruction groups were very active, as this was their last day at the
beach before their Surf Life Saving Certificate and Bronze Medallion exams.
Fitness work, as always, was a part of the training, and instruction groups did
a Dee Why run and a Run-Swim-Run, the latter being won by Bill
"Chocolate Slith" McGlynn and James "My Back" Day.
A number of simulation board and tube rescues were completed, as well as
further work on the lift-and-carrys, and the honing of resuscitation skills.
The patrollers also had a busy day. First up was a warm-up run to DeeWhy, and then a lengthy Board Relay, which came to a thrilling conclusion
as the two competitors battled it Out through the surf zone, Patrol 5
eventually surfing to victory ahead of Patrol 1.
The next activity was the Beach Flags, won by Rob "Techno" Ayers.
The day finished with the standard run around the Long Reef golf-course, won
by Callum "L.L. Showpony" MacLeod. Points were awarded for all of these
events, which contribute to the Hugh Kesterton Trophy Competition. This
trophy is presented to the Patrol which has the most points at the end of the
term, half of which are gained through success in the fitness events, the other
half from good results in regular tests. Jay lynch

:
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DYNASTY
•
I wonder if you noticed the Bookies report in the Record a couple of
weeks back. You probably noticed it, realised what it was, and went on to
read the next, more interesting item. Anyway, it contained ominous signs of
things to come. The main body of the article was perfectly normal, the
report on Gary Larson's "The Far Side' was quite entertaining. Some may
find this "entertaining' part abnormal but it wasn't this fact that worried me.
The most frightening forecast foretold in this fearsome folio was found nght
at the end of the article. The names mentioned at the end of the article
appeared as such:
The Bookie and Jerome Yim
The family is obviously creating a dynasty. Not content to rest on their
laurels after having the family name mentioned in every Record over the past
few years, the Yims would like to see this trend continued. With the
impending retirement of the original bookie the torch had to be passed on. It
seems Jerome is set to take over the family trade. Did they do this so that
generations of SWR Committees are forced to accommodate this passage of
prose every week for years to come? Is this a family plot to destroy the
world's rainforests? Are these two joining forces in the task of dedicating the
entire Record to Book Reports, Stereograms and incredibly weak Bunny
Jokes?
No longer can we consider The Bookie to be only one person. From now
on we will have to refer to these two as Alexander the First and Jerome the
First. In years to come they could be known as the kings of the classics, the
popes of polite literature or the lords of lingo.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I would now like to dedicate the next little bit of this week's Record to the
thwarting, or at least the slowing down of this frightening newly uncovered,
plot. This small attempt to stop this snowballing phenomenon will
henceforth be know as The Great Bookie Burning.
Ed-

How do you catch Alex Yim?
Hide in a library and make a sound like a book.
What side of a Bookie is the worst at writing jokes?
They are both equally as bad as each other.
What is the similarity between the Bookies and a plum?
They are all stupid, except for the plum,
What do you call one of the Bookies at the bottom of the ocean?
Agoodstart.
Book Report
"The Collected Works of the Great Man", a self-compiled collection of
Yim's SWR Book Reports and an autobiography detailing Alex's roller
coaster journey through life. Feel the power of the Bookie's excitement as he
sees his name in print for the very first time and weep along with him as he
realises that the book report was accidentally left out of the Record one week.
The author has described it, in one of his SWR reports, as being "an
exhaustive account of my achievements. No detail has been spared". Other
renowned critics have called it "A cure for Insomnia" and "Very, very long".
You can find it on the library's computers under the author's name YIM or
the subject title BORING.

More Great Burnings in SWR history
We, the SWRC, have recently received a comeback (we think) from yet
another member of the Historical Pasta fan club. Thank you for your letter,
but please, we asked for a challenge, not an increasingly weak attempt at
attacking such an esteemed Record.
Dear SWR (Stinking Wasteful Refuse),
1 am writing on behalf of the majority of the student body, including
The Linguini Man and Sir G. How dare you criticize the teaching faculty.
(Excuse me? Baking powder SWRC). By highlighting the poor grammar
and spelling (we put them in italics, you raving idiot you - SWRC) of the
letters you receive you are showing up the poor teaching methods employed
in the English Department. (Oh yes, you're very creative too. This is the
first time we have been accused of this low act. - SWRC)
It is a pity that the standard of the SWR has fallen to such a poor standard
under the current committee (We were left a great example by SWR 93-94
-SWRC) that the major event of an SWR reading is a letter bringing Out
evidence of the impoverished l,Q.s owned by the makers of our weekly doses
of detritus. (Please take a breath now, we don't want to be writing
obituaries next week- SWRC)
Your to use the current colloquialism, "burnings", (no, that's great
burnings- SWRC) although issued to the Linguini Man and Sir 0, (is this
Sir Galahad, or Sir G, or some other Sir Goober- SWRC) in fact reflect
on yourself. You spend time pointing out minor spelling + grammatical
errors (and mathematical ones, would you believe - SWRC) instead of
addressing the major issue. (You mean this letter has a major issue? SWRC). Namely, that the current committee is pitiful, pathetic and really,
really bad. (Rather like your pseudonym - SWRC)
Yours sincerely,
The Dragonbody and Pealady
P.S. Failure to publish this letter only shows that the SWRC is frightened
by any letter sufficient in grammar and spelling and not a target for your
grievous insults.
Only one thing need.c to be added. Please send us a letter of a more
definitive quality, otherwise these endless burnings will have to come to
an end.
P.S. This was a target for our insults.
P.P.S This paper is of sltghtly greater quality than Stinking Wasteful
Refuse, unlike your letter.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To SWR,
So much for freedom of speech! Once again hang your heads in shame!
Why should you chaps edit my well though Out letter? At least you
published it though, so congratulations.
I have some knightly advice: you should publish all letters that are
entered: if they are insulting, challenge them to a fight with swords. I would
have liked to have said duell but I can't spell it (you can say that again Ed.).
Sword fights let out aggression and settle disputes.
You may have noticed another letter last week from the Linguini Man.
He is my companion. Heed his words or he shall strike!
from Sir Galahad
-
Dear Brr Galahad (this is a creative mistake Ed.),
We of the committee would like to bring to your attention this quote
from the Gospel of John "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a
branch and is withered: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire and
they are burned'. We at the SWR also have a similar motto. Simply "If a
man likes not the SWR and writes in and tells us about it, he is bumt". So
following along these lines it is now my duty, good Brr, to do just that.
The reason for the editing of your previous efforts to lose yourself in front
of the entire school community by our friendly committee are as follows; the
quality of your grammar, spelling and general use of the English language
leave a lot to be desired. If these efforts are, as you say, "well thought out"
then I would rethink as to whether your thoughts are truly worth thinking
about.
As fo r your "knightly advice" we can do without it. Taking advice from a
mental Lilliputian like yourself (yes you'd better look that one up) is
guaranteeing your own intellectual downfall. As for fighting with swords,
we here at the Record prefer to drop the "s' and fight with words. This
especially applies to the mentally incapable such as yourself and your mate
the Tortellini Read.
One last request we have is that, if you and that pasta
friend of
yours are so intent on the attempt to get your utterly unamusing aliases in
this brilliant publication then please go and talk to a member of the English
Department about remedial lessons. Write back when you think we might be
able to understand your attempts at humour. It could take a while.

STEREO G R A M
More Stereo-Pairs &
How to Make Your Own
Part 2
Stereoscopy is far more than an interesting art form. In the last two
decades, it has become a legitimate scientific study with many real and
valuable applications.
Stereoscopy has added an extra dimension to the entertainment industry,
particularly the cinema. 3-D movies make use of a red-blue stereo-pair, a
combinalion of two images, one coloured red, the other blue. It works
because your right eye, looking through the red lens, can only see the blue
picture on the screen, and your left eye, through the blue lens, can only see
the red picture. The result is that each eye sees a slightly different image,
creating the illusion of three-dimensions. There are a number of variations
on the idea, such as the use of polarized lenses, but all 3-D movies operate on
this basic principle.
Virtual reality technologies usually make use of some form of threedimensional display, often mounted on a head-piece. The familiar goggles
provide a stereo-pair to the eyes, allowing a 3-D picture of the interactive
"yR" world to be viewed.
Although stereograms gic'e the impression of three dimensions, they are
not truly three-dimensional. In the cinema during a 3D movie, you cannot
look around and behind the pictures you see on the screen. The only current
technology that allows for this is holography. However, stereo-pairs are
often used in the production of holograms.
Holographic dental records are examples of this particular application.
Rather than make numerous X-rays of a person's jaw from various angles,
some dental organisations are now using the X-ray images to make
composite holograms three dimensional images, each created from many
stereo-pairs known as holographic stereograms. The same technique has
been used for ordinary photography, and even CAT scans. When displayed, a
full 360-degree scene can be observed "hanging" in mid-air.
-
-
Probably some of the most interesting kinds of holographic stereograms
are those generated by multiple 2D computer images. Such holograms are
also able to have short bursts of animation, and so far have been used in the
field of architecture. Here, an entire three-dimensional image of a building
can be rotated a full 360 degrees, all on a flat hologram as the angle of view
changes.
How to Make Your Own
Simple photographic stereo-pairs (such as that seen in last week's
Record) are easily created using an ordinary camera. Apart from that, all
you need is a good scene to photograph.
Without moving your head, take a photo of the scene looking through the
viewfinder with one eye, then another with the other eye. What you are
doing is recording how the scene looked from two different angles. Arrange
the resulting photos so that the one taken with the left eye is on the left, and
the one taken with the right is on the right.
Using the parallel-eyed viewing technique (the method described last
week), the two images will merge into one three-dimensional scene. If they
are too far apart for you to do this successfully, overlap (or cut up) the
photographs so they can be brought closer together. Remember that they
should be perfectly straight, relative to one another and your eyes.
You may find that the resulting image doesn't look very "3-13". This
happens whenever you make stereo-pairs of something at a great distance.
Your eyes can't tell the difference between 100 and 110 metres away, but can
tell the difference between one and two metres away. Therefore, the closer to
the object you are when taking the photo, the more three-dimensional it will
seem.
Another example of a stereo-pair is shown in this week's Record's photo
page.

TIPS
On /9th February. 1975, Randy Bethell was abducted from a friend's
house in Los Angeles. He was taken to a deserted area of Monroe County,
Miami, and shot in the head with a .357 Magnum revolver. The killers left
him there, believing that the body would not be found in such a remote
wooded location.
They must have changed their minds, because they returned to the body
several limes and systematically tried to remove all evidence that could be of
use in identification. In the first trip, most of the body's teeth and jaws were
knocked out using a large boulder. Later, the killers discovered that Bethell
had had both knees pinned, which would appear on his medical record. So
they went back to the body and blasted its knees with a shotgun.
Finally, the gang decided to make the remains completely unidentifiable,
once and for all. They blew the body to pieces with a bomb made from five
sticks of dynamite. This, they thought, would do the trick...
Murder stories always make a good read, especially when they're true.
Included in Real Life Crimes: Forensic Mysteries
(363.25 Rea) is
the story of "The Exploded Body", part of which is shown above. The book
examines in depth how each of the crimes were solved by forensic scientists,
and the fascinating methods used.
1 he silvery pathways of snails remind me of the magic of dewy
mornings, and of crisp green seedlings reaching for the sun.
Seriously though, isn't it time you got yourself a weird and wonderful pet
like a snail? Maybe not, but for those of you who find that kind of thing
enthralling, New Faces : The complete book of alternative pets (636 Ste)
might just tickle your fancy. Teach a goldfish to swim through a hoop, or
race your snail with friends. Discover how to look after a ferret.., and yes, it
is more fun than a GameBoy.
In Dead Water Zone (F Opp), a science fiction novel by Kennith Oppel,
the possibility of a garbage eating micro-organism is explored in a dramatic
and suspenseful mystery story. Weaving together the problems of
contemporary society, and the visions of a future city it is one of Oppel's
(don't worry, I haven't heard of him either) latest and most satisfying novels.
The Creative Darkroom Handbook (771.4 Wai) is a clear, practical guide
to creating photographic masterpieces. It covers many of the newer aspects
of photography which have, in recent years, deterred camera enthusiasts from
pursuing their hobby to the limit. Included as examples are over a hundred of
the author, Chris Wainwright's, own works, eighty of which are prizewinners.

ARMISTICE DAY CEREMONIAL
GUARD OF HONOUR
Friday 11th November, Macquarie Shopping Centre
On Friday the 11th of November in order to commemorate Armistice Day,
the end of the First World War, the Shore Cadet Unit provided a guard of
honour to parade at the Macquarie Shopping Centre.
The Guard included:
Guard Commander: CUO J. Gilmour; Bugler: CUO J. Pickhaver; Guard
Sergeant: Sgt. A. Firth; Drummers: Cpls R. Shaw and E. Cay; Guard:
Cpls Bathgate, Barron, Barnes, Lee, Harper, Parsons, Townend and Welsh.
The ceremony involved a quick and slow march as well as a ceremonial
ascent on to stage. The guard took post and at 11.11 am. John Pickhaver
sounded the Last Post.
Subsequently those involved were lucky enough to be able to talk to Dick
Cochrain, a former P.O.W. who worked on the infamous Burma railroad.
Thanks must go to Sergeant Major Parvin for his assistance in training
and rehearsals and also to Major Silvester.

Now that your exams are over and you find yourself with some spare time
(for Vth Form a break from your assessments can be counted as spare time),
how about spending a few hours with girlfriend in tow digesting the latest
crafc to hit the cincmas - the Australian movie extravaganza.
I can hear some of your saying that Australian movies are budget and full
of try hard actors with unbelievable Australian accents that make you
ashamed to be an Australian. Stop living in the dark ages because Australian
movies have made a bundle of money so far this year, proving their
popularity.
To date the successful Australian movies have been: The Sum of Us,
Sirens (no doubt attended by most Shore boys for one reason - Elle) and
Spider. But the real successes have been the Adventures of Priscilla, Queen
of the Desert (earning $11.8 million and still going strong) and Muriel's
Wedding (earning $8.5 million after only 5 weeks and winner of Best Film at
the A.F.I. Awards). You might want to know what all the fuss is about.
The following three reviews might help explain.
Spider and Rose is a lively comedy/drama about the relationship
between a street-smart young man and an elderly woman. The movie is great
because it destroys old-age stereotypes. Ruth Cracknell is superb as an old
woman who knows one or two things about AxI Rose and is a lady who isn't
afraid to take a bath wearing nothing with the young man when the question
of survival becomes prominent in a scene which is tasteful rather than
shocking.
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is great fun but won't appeal to all
Shore boys. Don't look too hard for a plot.
From an old hag to drag we come to the dag (not quite). Muriel's
Wedding is both an uproaringly funny and tragically sad tale about one of
Australia's so-called "losers". This is my favourite. The audience can
recognise the film's characters as people they know in every day life and this
is also why I loved it. The cast is terrific with special mention Rachel
Griffitlis (who won an A.F.I. Award for Best Support Actress) as Muriel's
best friend and Jeanine Drynan as Muriel's mother who has a very interesting
way of making tea. Toni Collette was exceptional in the title role and she
recently won an A.F.I. Award as Best Actress (she is part of a new breed of
promising and talented young actresses which incidentally includes Jacqueline
McKenzie (Romper Stomper, The Battlers) who first appeared on stage in our
own Shore productions - no less, which must be an inspiration and honour to
Shore itself).
With Priscilla and Muriel's Wedding predicted to earn over $20 million
which could make them the highest grossing movies in Australia this year
(even including American films), I suggest you betray the sacred Hollywood
films and start getting your teeth into some quality home-grown films.
Check your newspaper for cinema times of the Adventures of Priscilla,
Queen of the Desert; Muriel's Wedding and Spider and Rose,

AUSTRALIAN LANGUAGE CERTIFICATES
This year 177 boys in Forms III and IV Language classes (German,
French and Japanese) took part in tests conducted by ACER, leading to the
award of the Australian Language Certificates. The tests consisted of a
Listening task and a Reading Comprehension task.
Results are reported on three levels. Level 1 is the lowest and easiest
level, Level 3 the highest and most challenging level. Over 56 000 studeiits
throughout Australia and the South Pacific took part and a Level 3 is
awarded to approximately 40 % of the students in each language.
Levels achieved by Shore boys were again very pleasing and the Form III
Language classes (Beginners level) performed particularly well. Nearly
80% scored at least one "3" and 60% of our boys scored a Level 3 in both
sections of the test. Congratulations to all those boys who took part and
especially to those boys who achieved such commendable results.

Thursday 17th November, 1994
Last week, saw a grand finale to what has been a year of great concerts.
With the fantastic new venue of the Smith Auditorium, have come fantastic
performances, the six performers last week being no exception. After a few
technical delays with the microphone, the last lunch hour concert was under
way, with a great audience to support it.
First on the programme was Jonathon Lindsay (IlIrd Form) with a
confident and mature performance of a rather light-hearted piece,
"AleAander's If agtinw Band", on the alto saxophone with Mr flortch
accompanying. Paul Korber (ItIrd Form) followed on his trombone with the
theme from an "italian symphony" by Mendellssohn, which was played
well, with a lovely tone. It is rare to see a solo trombone playing, and this
was indeed an interesting experience. The next performer was to be Sandy
Godfrey. A few technical difficulties were resolved by Mr. Fox, in time to
hear a lovely bass voice sing "Caro Mia Ben" by Giuesippio Giordani in the
original Italian, accompanied by Mrs. Orchard. This year has seen a major
development in voice tutoring at the school, and Sandy Godfrey (Vth Form)
performed well in only his first year of tuition. The concert still had three
more performances of a very different style. Nick Duggan (IlIrd Form),
played a very challenging "Stairway to Heaven" on the drums, entrancing
the whole audience. The drum performances continued with Michael Grace,
who played "Good Times, Bad Times" accompanied by the speakers, which
was much enjoyed. Rod Frost capped off the concert playing his own
composition "Blue Chord" on the electric guitar, which was well played for
a diffIcult and very fast piece.
Thanks must go to the audience, performers and accompanists, and
particularly Mrs. Goldie, for a wonderful year of lunch hour concerts. Come
back again next year, for some fine concerts, and to support your peers as
they perform.

2nd XI Cricket results last week (Saturday 12th November) Shore vs. Scots
should have read: Scots all out 254 - Shore all Out 255. This game was an
extremely exciting and hard fought match with the Shore top and middle order
showing grit and determination when a few wickets fell. In a nailbiting
finish Shore only had one wicket in harsçl to score the final runs. In the end
SHORE WON BY ONE RUN (not lost by 4 as was report in last weeks
SWR).
J.P.
APOLOGY
l'o: All the readers of the SWR sports pages
I am sorry for the above apology. Believe it or not JP is actually quite good
at English but he seems to have tried to use as many clichés in the one
article as possible. For next time could you be a little CREATIVE and give
us boring anecdotes or stupid little phrases that no one understands but the
team involved. These will hopefully insult our intelligence less and take up
less space (apart from the anecdotes of course).
Also ... could would be sport report writers simply write sports reports in
future instead of filling up the fine SWR with poor advertisements for next
weeks social barbecue or such. Believe it or not most people dont care and
if you want to advertise put in a proper advertisement that can be placed in
between Tips from the Bookie and the Careers Library Update (because the
advertisement will do so much better there as more people from our research
read these fine weekly articles than the various sports reports).

Shore Weekly Record

BASKETBALL REPORT
Last week as some of you will know the Firsts and Seconds competed in
the Rashke Cup.
Shores first game was against Riverview, a tough side who has achieved
success this season. Shore won the match 29-22. The low scoring nature of
the game was due to the shortened time period of play. Shore's next match
was against High. Shore was behind with a few minutes to play but a
Hawkins 3 pointer and a another brilliant shot from Stuart levelled the game
at 29-29. Shore's defence especially, that of Alex Aranda, ensured High did
not score again. What resulted was a situation that no one liked. A
freethrow shootout, as inappropriate as a penalty shootout in soccer, was to
decide the outcome. Shore lost this by one shot and subsequently lost the
game. This was the end of the competition for Shore with High later
advancing to the finals. The last game against Scots was a mere formality
with nothing riding on the result. The game was used by the coach to run
some of the less experienced bench players.
Shore did not win, a team that has drawn itself out of the bottom
positiors on the ladder held not so many seasons ago. It was, however,
disappointing not to advance to the finals probably by a couple of free
throws. An under strength Newington side won the trophy, a team Shore
beat when at full strength.
Midweek, Shore narrowly beat Barker, the closest they have come to
defeat by a CAS team. On Saturday Shore will play a very tough St.
Joseph's team. They have a number of new boys in the team this year and
played well in the Rashke Cup.
A magnificent effort from the Shore boys who were entered into the
obviously harder pool. Ashley Evans and Michael Bayliss had outstanding
efforts. The results were most encouraging against the strongest of the GPS
teams.

TENNIS REPORT
Last Saturday Shore played Riverview at Northbridge. Playing at home
the Shore side was hungry for a victory. Unfortunately this was not to be.
The No. 1 doubles pair of Bertram and Woodland blitzed their frustrated
Riverview opponents who had no answer for the strong opening attack. They
ran Out victors at 6-0, 6-2. The No. 2 pairing of Reaney and Anderson found
the going tough and lost their match 3-6, 2-6 against some strong Riverview
opponents. The No. 3 pair of Hood and Dube played an erratic match losing
the first set 2-6, but then totally dominated the second set, winning it 6-1,
only to go down 3-6 in the third.
Glen Bertram, at No. 1 singles, started strongly to win the first set 6-1
but allowed his concentration to lapse early in the second set. He finally
regained composure to win the second set 7-5. The No. 2 singles player,
Todd Woodland, didn't cope well with the humid conditions and lost a close
match 5-7, 4-6. Our No. 3 singles player, Cameron Reaney, turned up
bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this week, dominating his opponent to win
comfortably 6-2, 6-4. Let's have an early night next Friday too please
Cameron! Once Nick Hood had got his nose in front late in the first set and
had pumped himself up at No. 4 singles there was no stopping him. He
came up trumps 6-4, 6-4. The Riverview side showed great depth and this
became apparent in the No. 5 and 6 singles. Although both Stephen Dube
and Hamish Anderson fought hard they lost their matches 4-6, 1-6 and 4-6, 57.
Overall Shore lost four matches to five on the day but are looking forward
to a victory against Joey's next Saturday.
The 2nds also lost 4-5, but again Coleman, De Martino and Chambers
showed their consistency in winning the lower ranked singles matches in
straight sets. Cooper also won his singles in three sets.

who are interested in coaching the team in 1995 please contact Mr. Bradley
Wells some time before Speech Day by either contacting the School or
contacting him direct on 956 1170.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Graham for all that he
has done in the past years in guiding many boys through the intricacies of the
law and giving up his valuable time for the School in this capacity.

CRICKET REPORT
Shore 1st XI v Riverview
The Shore 1st Xl arrived at the ground dressed smartly in their whites,
however, many were tempted to turn back and change into their army greens
as the scene resembled one of a typical cadet camp: wet humid conditions and
camping tents, pitched as our respective change rooms.
After a winning toss, yet again by Mike Mesley. the Shore opening
bowlers set Out to cause havoc to the Riverview batsmen, on what seemed to
be a very controversial wicket. Scott Taylor and Hugh Brakell toiled without
success, as the pitch proved to play relatively wet, apart from the odd ball
that hit the wicket, and follow through to Phil Waugh, the keeper.
It was time for a bowling change. Who else to bring on, but the toughest
man on earth, Angus "how many nicknames have I got" Dorney! And to
support him at the other end was the medium pacer "Tiny Tins". Tim and
Angus bowled hungrily up to lunch, containing two seemingly confident
openers after their abrupt start. At lunch Riverview were no wickets for
about 90 runs.
Shore set Out to conquer the session after lunch. Tim and Ed "why do
they call me Redman?" Cay had the ball after lunch. Soon enough Ed struck,
taking a magnificent caught and bowled to dismiss one of Riverview's more
competent batsmen. If Pete Sachs' hair was any indication of how he was
going to bowl, the team knew that Riverview were in trouble. He took the
ball from Tim and the first half of his second over he clean bowled the other
opener, who scored 56. Some overs later Ed Cay bowled an off spinner
which landed perfectly on one of the tufts of grass on the pitch, and didn't
bounce. This caused all sorLs of trouble for the batsman as he tried to sweep
the ball, and was given out LBW. An over or two later Riverview was
stumped after an excellent run out by Dave "he hit that one" Falk. Riverview
after being 0/113 were now 4/128.
Ham ish Esplin and Pete "Harbour Bridge" Sachs bowled for the remainder
of the Riverview innings.
Ham ish picked up two wickets, one of which was a fantastic stumping by
Phil Waugh. The day, however, belonged to Peter Sachs, who bowled with
style and accuracy (well so he said). He tied down the lower order batsman
dismissed two of them LBW, the other also bowled, ending his figures 5
wickets for 25 runs from 24 overs. Riverview were all Out for 217, after tea,
forcing Shore to face the remaining 18 overs of the day. Unfortunately in
this critical period, Hamish Esplin was dismissed cheaply, leaving Dave Falk
and the skipper, Mike Mesley, to resume batting next week. At the end of
the day Shore were 1/24 from 18 overs, and are ready to set up camp for the
exciting battle of the second day between Shore and Riverview.

It might have been raining for half the morning on Saturday, but that did
not stop the surf life savers from their exciting activities set out for them.
Today was the day: Bronze and Certificate groups had their part : A
examinations. The examiners turned up and the exams began.
Meanwhile the patrollers stepped off on a great note with plenty of
activity. (Speaking of notes, Harley Sofield whilst on a Dee Why run
stumbled across a S50 note hidden in the seaweed which he picked up and is
saving it for a brand new stamp album!)
By Il o'clock the Bronze groups had finished their exams. (Yes they all
passed.)
The patrollers used the excellent surf conditions and completed 500m
swim, a run swim run and a 4 km run.
Overall it was a fantastic day despite the early drizzle and all students who
sat the exams should be congratulated for their fantastic efforts. Next week
Part B exams will he held at Whale Beach where we hope to have perfect
conditions. Until next week, party on.
