£~itnrial
St. Patrick's, as we know it, has
passed' the sixty-eighth milestone
on its path of progress. The scripturallimit of three-score years and
ten is close upon us, but if we
may judge by the activities of the
Old Boys and of the present school,
instead of retiring in a ripe old age,
we would seem to be entering upon
a fresh period of renewed and vig, orous youth. The College Roll goes
on increasing year by year and it
seems as if we 'a re soon to be faced
by the problem of a "waiting list."
The financial membership of the
Association leaves room, as ever,
for development and increase. Next
years mal'ks the Centenary of Melbourne City. May we hope, without undue optimism, that it may be
signalised, as far 'a s we are concerned, by a record membership of
the, Old Collegians' Association of
the Senior Catholic College of Victoria 1 Arrangements are already
on foot to further this object.
During the Centenary celebrations we, as Catholics, are not going
to be merely spectators. His Grace,
the Archbishop, as we know, has in
view several functions which will
recall Sydney's wonderful Eucharistic Congress. These will extend
over an entire week. We know that
the present boys will do their share
and show their loyalty to Faith and
School in a practical manner . We
are confident too that the Old Boys
will not be found wanting. Union
is strength, and they can best
prove their inter est by bringing
the Association up to its f ullest
possible strength and showing His
Grace that they are with him to a
man~
The annual functions which go
to illustrate the activities of the
Old Boys are usually most successful. The year 1933 has proved no
exception to this rule. In Mr. R. P .
Clereha~ we have been blessed with
a president who has left no stone
unturned to make every item on
the year's programme the success
it undoubtedly was. The whole Association owes him and Mr s. Clerehan a lasting debt of gratitude for
their unflagging enthusiasm.
We have nothing but words of
congratulation for the Walking
Club, the popularity of which increases with the years. Full accounts of their 1933 outings will be
found in this issue.
The Dramatic Club, too, the
latest branch of the Association,
seems likely to develop into a perm'a nent part of our activities.

EDITORIAL
Crowded houses greeted the presentation of "The Unknown Quantities" last September,. and as we
go to press, the sub-committee in
charge of this section is at work
on another production. The heartiest good wishes of the Association
go with them.
Of the Present Boys we can but
reiterate what we have said in previous issues.
The reputation of
the College is absolutely safe in
their keeping. Right through the
School there is not one to "let us
down." They more than hold their
own in m'a tters purely scholastic,
as well as on the sports fields. As
editors we gladly take this opportunity of thanking those amongst
them who have helped so considerably, by College jottings, reports
of matches and photographs, in the
production of this issue.
To all .old Boys, to the present
generation and their parents, and
to every friend of the College and
of the Association, we extend our
very best wishes for Christmas and
the New Year.

It is perhaps fitting that with the
approach of the Centenary celebrations in Victoria an attempt
should once more be made to trace
briefly the growth of St. Patrick's
College. The records of those early
days are scanty and our knowledge
must perforce be gleaned from the
"Reminiscences" of those who attended the College and who are
still 'a mongst us.
As far back as 1849, in the old,
picturesque days of gold rush and
early colonizations Dr. Goold, the
first Bishop of Melbourne, had
opened St. Francis' Seminary as a
joint lay and ecclesiastical college.
Within a year, however, when the
Government launched its Public
School scheme, the Bishop determined to prepare for the future
and to establish a more adequate
and enduring foundation on part of
the church property at gastern
Hill. It was not until 1854 that the
Government grant was sufficiently
augmented by private subscriptions to justify the beginning of
the work. Thus was laid on the
5th day of December, 1854, the
foundation stone of St. Patrick's
College, and, apart from its record
of great achievement, there is one
circumstance about our School
which gives it a unique place in the
history of Victorian Catholic education. It is the oldest of the
Catholic colleges in Victoria, and
second oldest of the public schools.
When the new building above referred to was finished, the students,
both lay and ecclesiastical, were
transferred from St. Francis' to St.
Patrick's, and the latter was recognised by the Government as the
Catholic Public School. Dr. Shiel,
afterwards :Bishop of Adelaide, was
the first president, and he was succeeded by the Rev. John Bleasdale,
D.D., who became famous as a
mineralogist and as one of the
founders of the Microscopical
Society. The next president was
Dr . BaITY, and during his term of
office the boarding-school, owing to
financial difficulties, was closed, but
efforts were made to continue the
day-school.
These were unsuccessful.
Meanwhile, since 1849, the
Jesuits had been working as missioners in South Australia, 'a nd in
1865 Dr. Goold consulted the then
Superior, Fr. Polk, about the
transfer of St. Patrick's (which
had been re-opened in 1862) to the
charge of the Society of Jesus. The
negotiations were successful, and
at the end of 1865 there arrived at
the College, Fathers Joseph Lentaigne and William Kelly, both of
the Irish province. Father Lentaigne was 'a ppointed the first
Superior. When he began his term
there were but fifty boys in the
school, and the next year the number had increased to "one hundred
and five lively, precocious, little
colonials, who prefer play to
study."
(We quote Father Lentaigne's own words.)
A t this juncture, steps were
taken to have the College rank
worthily among the public schools.
In 1866 the staff was re-inforced by
the arrival from Ireland of Fathers
Dalton, Nolan and McIniry. During
this transition period, neither
study nor sports were neglected,
and it is interesting to note that
the first Shakespearean gold medal
offered at the University was won
by 'a St. Patrick's boy, John F.
N agel. There is a long list of men
A RETROSPECT
who went from the school to win
fame in every branch of sport, but
pride of place in those early years
belongs to the great cricketer,
Percy McDonnell, who made historic scores, both here and in England. In the rifle competitions of
the 'seventies, St. Patrick's also
more than held its own, finally winning in 1875 the challenge cup
after
a .series of seconds and thirds
.
In prevIOUs years.
During the early years a remarkable development took place in the
academic and Catholic life of the
College. Owing to a fortunate succession of able rectors and masters
there was built up a high tradition
of Catholic culture. It is hardly
possible in this brief survey to do
more than mention names such as
Father Joseph Dalton, Father
Francis Murphy, Father ' Thomas
Cahill and Father William Kelly.
In 1872 it was found possible to reopen the boarding-school, but with
their usual fore-sight the Jesuits
had realised that before long they
would have to set up a large school,
and so in 1872 was laid the foundation-stone of Xavier College on
a property seventy acres in extent
situate on a hill beside the Kew
railway station. This building was
completed in 1878, and the
boarders were then transferred
from St. Patrick's, and the older
establishment finally settled itself
into its present position - of dayschool only. For some years, however, St. Patrick's was still recognised as a public school, and there
followed a peiiod of partnership
with Xavier, until in 1901 it was
decided on the formal institution
of the Public Schools' Association to
leave the burden of representation
to Xavier alone, as the latter had
more adequate grounds for sports.
The year 1925 marked the Diamond Jubilee year of St. Patrick's
as a Jesuit College, for, as has alre'a dy been outlined, the College had
been ten years in existence when the
Jesuits took charge. Much water
has passed under the bridge since
1865, and the past history of the
College includes a long roll of men
distinguished in church and State
for, from the first years of Jesuit
rule the College made rapid progress, . and won and retained an
honourable place among the public
schools. There was a galaxy of
talent in the College in those early
days and names like Emmet Dillon,
Tho ill a s McInerney, Charles
Gavan-Duffy and James Fitzgerald
'a re associated with the formation
of the Debating Society, whose
members used to meet in the Assembly Hall, and who were responsible for the inception and fir st
issues of "St. Patrick's College
. Gazette," which was issued as a
monthly manuscript newspaper
from June, 1876, and first appeared
as an annual in 1877.
Leaving the past with all its
glories and traditions which have
been worthily upheld to the present
day, let us glance at the early years
of the twentieth century. In 1912
was formed the Old Boys' Association with Sir John Madden, C.M.G., _
as president, and the .Rev. T.
Kenny, S.J., Dr. A. L. Kenny,
Charles Gavan-Duffy, C.M.G., and
Michael Mornane as vice-presidents. In 1913 and 1914 the Old
Boys' Debating Society was revived, but fell into abeyance during
the war. In 1922 the magazine was
again published and is still in a
flourishing condition. Of late years,
too, the external aspect of the College has been greatly improved,
but the boys of to-day know nothin,g o~ the thrills of the old days
when It was easy to escape drill by
climbing over the "gym." roof, nor
of the joys of cricket in the ironroofed shed on a rainy day 'when
the whole school joined in the
game. The chef d'oeuvre, however
among the improvements is th~

The present generation of young
Patricians is worthily upholding
the grand old traditions of tha past.
The spirit of the pioneers is safe
in their hands, and despite the
sixty-eight years that have rolled
by since Father Lentaigne taught
his first boys here - because of
them perhaps-St. Patrick's is
younger and more vigorous than
ever.

The year just closing marks another
stage completed in the progress of the
Association. And when we look hack on
the various activities of 1933 we feel
that they bear ftavourable comp~rison
with any of their predecessors. In Mr.
R. P.Clerehan, the Association has had
a president who left absolutely nothing
undone to bring our various functions to
a successful issue. Mr. Clerehan is
nothing if not business-like in his
methods, and this was felt in all the
practical details of whatever was on
hand. T'o Mrs'. Clerehan, too, a word of
sincere appreciation is due for the able
way in which she seconded every effort
of the 'p resident.
The financial membership of the Association still leaves something to be desired. But then, it always does. It is
never so large that it could not be larger,
and we are difficult to satisfy in this
matter. That the numbers are well up to
those of 1932 means very little to us.
We have many members who are permanently resident in other ·States. If
they are sufficiently enthusiastic to
renew their membership with unfailing
regularity surely we are not unreasonable in expecting at least all those in
'M elbourne to do the same. The year
1934 marks the Centenary of Melbourne.
St. Patrick's is not as old as that; ,b ut
it is for all that, the oldest Catholic
College in Victoria, as may be seen elsewhere in this issue. Why not then em-
ploy our best efforts to make another
record and raise our membership to
heights hitherto unknown?
GENERAL MEETiNG.
The twenty-second Annual General
Meeting was held at the College on Wednesday, March 29th, 1933.
The president, Mr. F. F. Clausen, occupied the chair. There was a very
large attendance of Old Boys, and the '
number of financial members enrolled
showed an increase of fifteen on last
year's total for this meeting.
The report of the past year was read
by the retiring secretary, Mr.. J. E.
Dowling, confirmed on the motion of Dr.
McInerney, who was seconded by Mr.
R. P. Clerehan. Mr. P. Marsland read
the financial statement for the year
1932-3. This was also confirmed on the
motion of Dr. McInerney, seconded by
Mr. J. J. Curtain.
Mr. C. O. McKernan informed members present that the Sodality of the
Blessed Virgin (for lay-men) held its
meetings on the first and third Friday
in each month. He urged all Old Boys
to sUP'p ort the Sodality and to bring
their friends to the meetings.
Rev. Father O'Dwyer, S.J., supported
Mr. McKernan. He also mentioned that
the boys of the College were organising

ANNU AL BALL.
The committee decided this year to hold
the annual ball at the St. Kilda Town
Hall, the scene of so many successful
functions o~ the past. The hall 'p resented
a very delightful picture on the night
of July 13th.
The decorations were
effectively carried out in the College
colours, the School Banner hanging from
the balcony at one end. An interesting
feature was the scheme which included
festoons of blue and white fairy lights
stretching from the centre-piece to the
four corners of the hall. When the
lights were turned down during the
waltzes, they produced a very soft and
beautiful effect.
From every .p oint of view the ball was
a brilliant success. Four hundred guests
were present, and when all returns are
in the N ewm.a n Scholarship Fund should
benefit materially.
An item of interest to Old Boys was
the presentation ofl a case of cutlery by
V. Rev. Fr. O~Dwyer, S.J. (Rector) on
behalf of the Association to Bill
McGowan as a mark of app·r eciation and
goodwill on the occasion of his recent
marriage.
The guests were received by the president (Mr. R. P. Clerehan), and Mrs.
Clerehan. The assisting hostesses included: Mesdames T. P. Power, D.
O'Leary, B. Prowse, W. McGowan, H.
Laird, and Misses Eileen and Nella
Sheehan, Kath. McCaffrey, Noel Dennehy and Mollie Cleary. The official
guests of the evening were: Very Rev.

College), Rev. J. S. Bourke, S.J., Mrs.
Hartnell (St. Columba's), Misses B.

BRIDGE NIGHT.
On Monday, September 11th, the Old
Collegians held a bridge night at ~he
Green Door Cafe, with the object ofl mcreasin<r the Association funds and encouragi~g the social spirit of the Old
Boys.
Thirteen tables were taken.
Those present thoroughly enjoyed themselves and voted the evening a complete
success. Full credit must be given to
MI'. and Mrs. Clerehan and to the Old
Boys' and Ladies' Committees for the
success of this function. Arrangements
were mostly in the hands of Mr. J. L.

OLD COLLEGIANS' COMEDY
COMPANY.
As an addition to the activities of
the Assoication, a move was made in
July to organise a Dramatic Club. A
largely attended meeting took place in
the College Hall and the following
executive of the club was elected:F. F. Clausen, Chairman; J. L. Bruce,
H;on. Secretary; B. J. Sheehan, Treasurer; T. McKernan, Producer; C. O.
McKernan, Stage Manager.
The producer promptly selected a cast
from the material offering.
His choice
was not an easy one, but was fully
justified by the results. On Thursday,
September 28th, and on ·Saturday, September 30th, the first play was produced
under the title of: "The Unknown Quantities." The actors comprised: Misses
P. Prowse, M. Young, I. Edwards;, S.
Cantwell, M. Cleary, J. Hayes and
Messrs. K. Murphy, J. Moran, E.
Hackett, A. Watson, T. McKernan and
B. Sheehan.

OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION NOTES
The play was held in the College Hall
and received an enthusiastic reception
from those present. The acting of all
concerned was 0:1] a very high order and
augurs well for tpe next appearance of
this talented "company." We are grate,ful for the services of "Maurice and his
music" on the first night. On the Saturday Mr. W. Fitzpatrick very kindly
came to our rescue hy bringing his
electric gram.ophone.
J. L. Bruce had charge of the electric
lighting in addition to his secretarial
duties. The play was certainly a credit
to the producer and his cast and we hope
it marks only the beginning of a long
series of such excellent entertainments.
W ALKrING CLllB.
The popularity of the Walking Club
is, if anything, on the increase. The
outings during 1933 have been held with
unfailing regularity and on three
occasions attracted upiwards of sixty
members. We said before that this
branch of the Association seemed likely
to flourish. We might say now that this
year has been its "peak period." As a
means of periodic renewal of old friendships and as an occasion for Old Boys of
many different generations to get together we know nothing better. New
members can ibe assured of an enthusiastic welcome to the ranks of the
veterans. We heartily recommend the
Walking Club to all recent Old BoyS! and
to those' who are leaving school this
year. It is our experience that after the
first outing, the newcomer bec;o mes, an
"Apostle" of the club. TOo those who
are still hesitating we confidently say
"come once and give it a trial." They
will require no invitation the second
time.
Shortly after the 1932 Patrician went
to press (November, 1932), a walk was
held in the Healesville district, where
upyvards of 40 m~mbers had a thoroughly
enJ.oya):>le day mcely roUfid~ off by a
~W1m m the private pool of that p,r omment guest-house, "Doogalook."
For
this we are indebted to the manager of
"Doogalook," who met us at the station
and gave us a general invitation.
Allan Watson and Ted Hackett had
quite an exciting time trying to find the
goldfish, which are in the swimmingpool to purify the water. Allan Wa.tson
wanted to give an exhibition of "tickling
trout," but those goldfish evidently had
been taught by experience and weren't
having any.
On December 18th, the summer being
now decidedly with us, we abanaoned the
more strenuous walk for a Beach Trip
to Seaford. The weather left a good
deal to be desir ed, but r ather than let
the fixture lapse, about 25 members
braved the elements and had a very good
time. Our long-lost friend, Ted Jones,
evidently favours wet weather. We have
rarely seen him in such form as he was
to-day. Members asked themselves why
Joey Dowling had to leave early and refused to take the hillies with him. However, they didn't waste time asking Joey
and the mystery remains unsolved (barring insinuations) to this day.
January 22nd saw the beginning ,o f
the 1933 activities. About 35 members
and their friends were early " on deck"
for a Bay Trip ,t o Queenscliff. It was
rumoured that the irr.epressible Joey
Dowling had been praying for foul
weather in order to show his " resistance"
which had been [8trongly developed on
his recent trip from Sydney. Members
generally were very glad that his
prayers remained unanswered and there
were no "accidents" in a very enjoyable
day, which ended all toO! soon.
Excellent weather on February 19th
drew over 70 to another Beach Trip to
Frankston. The organisers were very
pleased to see such a wholesale response
to their circular. It certainly prophesied
well for the ensuing outings of the
club. We had a splendid day ,s wimming
and spent several hours at one or other
of the usual beach games. We finished
off by an enjoyable walk on the foreshore and up the pier. We took the
train for town pleasantly tired after
what was undoubtedly one ,o f our ibe,s t
outings. This ended the beach trips of
1932-3'3, as far as the Walking Club was
concerned.
The regular walking trips for 1933
began on Sunday, March 19th. We had
planned a rather lengthy rail journey to
Daylesford.. Very dull weather combin~d with the fact that it was a publicholIday week-end was responsible for a
c.om{paratively small attendance. The
train started half-an-hour late, but it
was just as well, for at the last minute
Jim Ogge was ;found wandering aimlessly
ahout Spencer Street, and when he heard
there was a plentiful supply of cigarettes on board, joined the party. We
had a pleasant trip through the Hep~
burn Mineral Springs, Ajax Mines, New
Dayles~ord Lake and the DaylesflOtd
townshIp. Just as we boarded the train
for the return journey the weather broke
definitely and heavy rain heralded us
into Melb.ourne.
We made for the Macedon district on
Sunday, April 30th. We had to-day, an
excellent attendance of 64. This trip
has always proved attractive. This year

OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION NOTES
the attraction was increased by starting
the walk from Woodend, then up to the
Camel's Hump and across to Mount
Macedon where the new Memorial Cross
came in 'for much admiration. We had
tea in the Macedon township.
Jim
Bruce broke his usual record by not gett.ing lost on the Camel's Hump. He
made up for it, however, when he and
Carl McKernan got properly bushed ,o n
their way to Macedon station.
Ray
Tuck ferreted them out and led them
(spanselled) to tli~ righ~ path. They
promised not to do It agam.
Our next trip (May 28th) was from
Hurstbridge to South Morang. This tim"e
we had the record attendance of 77. Jim
Ogge, who was responsible for the
presence of many friends on this and
the previous walk, deserves, and hereby
gets, the very sincere congratulations of
the club. After dinner, the l>arty moved
off towards South Morang, and after an
hour's walking we discovered that Joey
Dowli~g (of course) and several fair
friends had taken the wrong track. They
eventually joined the main party 'a fter
some heavy going over rough country.
We had tea round two large fires in the
Plenty River Gorge, after which we
caught the 'train for home from the
South Morang station.
We revisited Heal'esville ,o n Sunday,
June 25th. We repeated a very beautiful
walk to the Badger and Carranderk
Weirs. We had dinner in Queen's Park,
~nd after a refreshing game of football
(Rafferty's rules) we started for Badger's Creek.
We visited the Colin
McKenzie Reserve "for native animals
and had quite a good time, among the
Native Bears, Wallabies and Opossums
(or maybe "Opossa"). Wei later visited
the weirs and after tea on the banks of
the, creek made back to HealesVille after
dusk. We had about 36 members ,o n
this trip.
Perhaps the most interesting trip of
the year took place on the week.,end of
August 6th, to W arburton. We arranged
to spend the week-end at the Chalet.
Those for whom a week-end was not
possible came up for the day on Sunday.
The week-end party (28) arrived at the
Chalet ahout 4 p.m. on Saturday. After
tea they enjoyed an impromptu dance
and the fancy dress parade proved very
popular. After the dance some took a
very delightful moonlight walk to Big
Pat's. Creek. Rising early 'on Sunday
mornmg we made our way to Mass at
Wesburn and on our return to the Chalet
picked up our lunches and started to
climb Mount Donna Buang.
Frank
Clausen, Arthur Adams and Cecil Sanders
did an extra hard climb from Millgrove
9
to Ben Cairn and across to Mt. Donna
Buang. About nine of the party climbed
the mountain and several others ca me up
by car. Some of tho se who came up on
Sunday chose an easier walk to the Lal
Lal Falls.
By special request we had a walk on
August 20th, from Belgrave to Mount
Evelyn. This walk pr oved very popular
last year and the warm sunny weat her
attracted u"p wards of 30 member s to-day.
After leaving Belgrave we made our way
to Begley's Creek, where we boi~ed the
billy and had our dinner. We subsequently visited Olinda, the Olinda F a lls
and Five Ways (nobody taking the wrong
one), where the scenery was magnificent. We had tea on the banks of a
stream about a mile from the Mount
Evelyn station.
We had another interesting walk on
September 17th to Bacchus Marsh and
the Lerderdberg Gorge. This time the
weather let us down somewhat. There
was little sunshine and occasional
showers slightly interfered with the
pleasure of the day. After lunch on the
banks of the Lerderdberg River we
started up the gorge and had considerable excitement negotiating a light
wooden flume around a cliff with one
eye on the raging river below. When
we returned to where we had left our
belongings on the bank of the river we
found that the water h ad r isen considerably and had "marooned" our property
on an island. It was suggested that
some o~ the broader membeI's should
constitute themselves a raft and float
across. Finally Jack Moran came to our
aid and rescued eve~ything.
Sunday, October 15th, saw us on the
road again. This time we went from
Clematis to Fern Tree Gully, a route we
had not previously covered. About 30
members took -part and we thoroughly
enjoyed the delightful spring weather as
well as "the al fresco lunch we took at
Menzie's Creek. We subsequently followed the ,R,i dge Road towards Fern Tree
Gully. We had tea at One Tree Hill
just as the sun was. setting on Western
Port Bay. We sadly missed Jim Ogge,
who was unable to make this trip, hut
Vern. Wood make a very welcome reappearance.
As the Magazine is going to press
very shortly, we shall have to hold over
our notes on the November walk at
Healesville (Sunday, 12th). It will be a
light walk to Maroondah Reservoir and
a swim in the pool of the "Doogalook"
guest house.
On Sunday, December 10th, the first
Beach Trip will be held to Frankston.

OLD BOYS' ASSOCIATION NOTES
We are hoping to have some of the boys
who are just leaving school. We feel
certain that after their first experience
they will become regular followers of
our walking and beach trips. Beach trips
will be held on the third Sundays of
January and February, further details
of which may be had from the· secretary.

CRICKET MATCH.
Only one cricket match was arranged
during the past year, but it provided a
most enjoyable day.
The match was
played at Xavier College oval against
the East St. Kilda C.Y.M.S., and our
team had a rather easy victory. St.
Patrick's O.C.A. scored 218. These runs
were mainly compiled by G. Brosnan (56
retired), L. Gleeson (40), W. McCormack (32), and W. Flynn (35). Les.
McManamny, who had long years of experience at school, in this sort of thing
(!), hit a magnificent "sixer." We are not
sure if the ball has yet been found!
The East St. Kilda C.Y.M.S. scores were:
First innings, 63; second innings, 6 for
57.

FOOTBALL MA TeH.
Once again we met the East St. Kilda
C.Y.M.S . on the Xavier Oval in September, this time at football. We are
glad to report that our team was once
more victorious. 'F or the first half of
the game honours were fairly even.
During the second halfl, however, St.
Patrick's playing with more system got
well ahead of their opponents and when
the final bell rang the scores were:St. Patrick's O.G.A.,. 1'0.11, 71 pts.
E. St. Kilda C.Y.M.S., 6.8, 44 pts.
Our goal-kickers were: P. Marsland
(4), W. Burnes (3), W. Omeilly (2),
and T. McKernan (1).
The Association is deeply grateful to
the Rector of Xavier for t.he use of the
oval and for generally facilitating our
matches.

THE PREFECTS' DANCE.
On Saturday, October 28th, a very enjoyable Prefects' Dance was held in the
Kelvin Hall. The organisation of the
dance was in the hands of Messrs. J. L.
Bruce (Hon. Sec., Old Collegians), J.
Saunders, B. O'Sullivan and J. McEncroe
(Head Prefect). The proceeds were in
aid of the College Prize Fund, which
benefited considerably from the dance.
Valuable assistance was given by our
Ladies' Committee, which is ever ready
to lend a helping hand to s.o cial events
organised by the College or the 'A ssociation.
About 18.0 dancers filled the hall,
which, decorated with streamers, looked
very gay. V. Rev. Fr. T. O'Dwyer, S.J.,
Rector of the College, was present during the evening. The guests were received
by the College Prefects. There was a.
gratifying number of Old Boys present,
including Mr. George Mason, who came
80 mile,s from Shoreham to be present.

W~t
Unnatural ilaattr
Sequel to the
The Editor came along and said
to me, "What about an article?"
Seeing that I looked perturbed, he
added soothingly, but-as seemed
to me-without the slightest regard
for truth, "You've only to sit gown
and rattle it off in half an hour."
Mollified by this encouraging ~ut
mendacious argument, I asked hIm
to name a subject for the article.
"Oh" he said, "anything at all, but
preferably something light. The
last subject on which you wrote
for The Patrician was the 'Natural
Boy.' You could follow that up."
"Then," I replied, "I suggest 'The
Unnatural Schoolmaster'." It was
his turn now to look perturbed. A
dark cloud settled on his brow. He
spent a few moments thinking over
the suggestion. Then he said in a
worried way, "Don't bring me in!"
- "Certainly not," I assured him. His
brow gradually cleared and he accepted the proposal.
Humanum est errare: it is the
lot of normal human beings to
make mistakes. And I think we
may say that anyone who never
makes mistakes is not human, or,
in other words, unnatural. N ow a
master never makes mistakes; he
is always right. Therefore, he is
unnatural. He lives in the rarefied
atmosphere of infallibility. If he
made on an average even one good
howling mistake a year, the boys
-if they noticed it-might hail
him as one of themselves. But
they never get the chance. If the
master does a sum, it comes out
right; if he interprets a difficult
passage in a foreign language, he
IS never at fault; if a knotty ques-
"NATURAL
Boy."
tion in history, or science, is introduced, he knows all about it. This
surely is not natural.
Max Beerbohm, that charming
and ingenious writer, in an essay
in which he imitates the manner
of Gilbert Chesterton, says :-"The
dislike of school-boys for Euclid's
Geometry is unreasonable in many
ways, but fundamentally it is entirely reasonable. Fundamentally,
it is a revolt from a man who was
either fallible, and therefore, in
pr etending to infallibility, an imposter, or infallible, and therefore
not human." Now the schoolmaster is not an imposter-he is
infallible, and, therefore, in contrast to the brilliant but very fallible 'natural boy' is not human; or,
in other words, he is unnatural.
Again, it is hardly natural for
a man to be on a pedestal. Not
one man in twenty millions deserves to be so placed. But somehow or other the schoolmaster is
almost invariably on a pedestal,
elevated to that airy position either
by his own diplomacy or by the
carefree indulgence of the "natural
boy." Robert Browning, a man
whose sincerity we cannot doubt,
goes even further: he places the
schoolmaster not only on a pedestal, but on the pinnacle of a lofty
mountain. In a poem of one hundred and forty-eight lines he describes what he considers to be the
fitting funeral of a Teacher of
Grammar. The dead Grammarian
is carried forth to his last resting
place on the shoulders of his pupils,
and is buried, not in an ordinary

cemetery, but on the summit of a
high mountain.
"Here-here's his place, where
meteors shoot, clouds form,
Lightnings are loosened,
Stars come and go! Let joy break
with the storm,
Peace let the dew send!
Lofty designs must close In like
effects:
Loftily lying,
Leave him-still lortier than the
world suspects,
Living and dying."
A pedestal where "clouds form,
lightnings are loosened, and stars
come and go" is certainly placed
very high; and the bare thought of
such a distinction might cause the
more modest type of schoolmaster
to blush, while it must bring home
to him the disconcerting conviction
that he is not natural.
Gilbert Chesterton, in one of his
original ,a nd thought-provoking
books, says that he could never feel
any great admiration for the man
who proudly holds up his head in
presence of this whole wonderful
universe. If such a man saw things
in their true perspective, so far
from taking this superior attitude,
"he would go down on his knees
before a periwinkle." There is a
lot in that. A periwinkle is ,a very
humble unit among living things,
but nevertheless is a wonderful
work of God. Nothing short of
infinite power could make it. All
the united genius of mankind, all
the engineering and scientific skill
of the world, mobilised for one
supreme achievement, could not
get anywhere near the production
of a humble periwinkle. The great
bridge that spans Sydney Harbour
is quite amateurish and insignificant compared with t he designing
and making of the lowest form of
life. Life is a miracle reserved to
Divine power. And so it would be
reasonable-and even quite natural
-for a reverent and thoughtful
man to go down on his knees before
this little creature of God. But
when the worshipper before this
humble shrine rises to his feet and
is confronted by the "Natural Boy"
in all his brilliancy, what olight to
be his sense of humble wonder?
The author of that delightful
book, "Aguecheek," renamed by a
later editor "My Unknown Friend,"
says that he _always regarded the
genuine human boy as the most
wonderful of God's works. Andas I think I showed in my article
in the last number of The Patrician
-the Natural Boy goes along on
his ,carefree journey through life
simply cor uscating with brill-iancy.
I dwelt upon his energy, his
generosity, his freshness, his originality, his skill in games, his sense
of balance on a single roller skate,
his clever manipUlation of a bicycle
five sizes too lar ge for him, his
easy mastery of the mysteries of
yo-yo, his dazzling performances in
a soap-box lorry of his own construct ion. These ar e only portions
of a long list of accomplishments.
N ow if it is reasonable-and
even natural-for a thoughtful
man who sees this wonderful uni:"
ver se of ours in its true perspect ive-to go down on his knees before
a per iwinkle, what degree of
humble r everence might be expected from such a man in presence of so radiant a vision as the
Natural Boy? Well, what kind of
attitude do we find in the schoolmaster when confr onted by a dozen
rows of natural boys? Does he
go down on his kn'ees in an attitude
of astonished humility
Does he
wonder at the destiny that allows
him the privilege of ' being in the
same room with so many shining
lights?
Perhaps in privatethough I doubt it-he may have
some such feelings. But~ in public
and officially, he seems to regard

THE UNNATURAL MASTER
the Natural Boy as being somewhere below the level of intelligence and general ability of tadpoles and periwinkles. This nlay
be good tactics, but it is not
natural.
And how can it be called good
tactics ? Well, first of all, it saves
the schoolmaster from developing
the inferiority complex in the presence of so many astonishing gifts,
fortunately unco~scious in their
inexperienced
possessors; and
secondly, it keeps the boy humble.
If the boy were allowed to find out
13
how gifted he really is, he would
become unbearably conceited. The
schoolmaster, by setting the
Natural Boy tasks that are always
too much for him, keeps him
reasonably humble.
And in return the good-natured
Natural Boy places the master on
a pedestal; while Browning, going
still further, places him on the pinnacle of a lofty mountain.
If in such a rarefied atmosphere
the schoolmaster could be anything
else but slightly unnatural, well it
would hardly be natural.

FIRST TERM.
February 7th.-Many of the "ancient
fathers," "hardy annuals," and scores
of unsuspicious "new hands" invaded
the premises well before 9.30 a.m.
Even Brendan O'Sullivan, who has
already done over "ten years hard" at
St. Patrick's, turned up (from force
of habit probably) and saw the others
into class, but didn't follow them.
Henri O'Halloran, for the first time in
living memory was conspicuous by his
absence.
Jimmy Hawkins, 1932 Dux, left for
Sydney to-day to begin his life as a
Jesuit. The last of a long line of
Hawkins brothers at St. Patrick's, we
shall all miss him, but we know we'll
have him back again one day, and our
best wishes go with him.
February Sth.-"Settling down to the
inevitable"-but where is Myles Conroy? Ask the wild waves (of Mordialloc). Jim Fanning has "enlarged"
so considerably during the holidays
that it's all the same to him whether
he goes through a door sideways or
straight on. The difficulty is the same
either way.
February 9th.-G. J. Lynch accused of
body-bowling in the yard to-day was
most indignant, and promptly sent
down a series of wides, which were
nearly as disastrous-to the spectators.
February 10th.-"One week to the good,"
says Jack Pilbeam as he packed up at
3.30. "Only about three months to go
till the next holidays." John is our
dirt-track specialist, and never misses
a night at the Exhibition.
February 13th.-Thrilling "Tests" in the
yard after school every day now.
Bill Manwaring sits in the waste
basket when "off duty" and slangs all
cricketers within range.
February 14th.-Kevin Shea is rias~i:r:g
masters if they have seen the bookP'tl
"schoolboy howlers." Little does lC~~i.n.
realise that the average master sees
(and hears) more howlers per day
than any book would hold. Still,
where innocence is bliss
I"
February 15th.-Our very best wishes
follow Ben Newbold, who left this
evening for "Loyola," Sydney.
February 16th.-Jimmy J ones is busy
teaching his younger brother the elements of handball. "Catch 'em young"
is Jimmy's principle. Among the 1933
newcomers are many who seem to be
shaping well in all games.
February 17th.-The Rector held his first
"assembly" for the year. The new House
Prefects are as follow: J. McEncroe
(Head Prefect,
Captain
of the
House), E. Wood, K. Keely, G. Gillespie, J. McCaffrey and C. Forehan.
We wish them a successful year, and
we feel quite sure that they will all
worthily uphold the traditions of the
school.
February 19th (Sunday).-We were very
sorry to hear this morning of the death
of Johnny Lee (Hoddle Street, East
Melbourne).
R.I.P.
A prominent
student and athlete at St. Patrick's,
he will be greatly missed by a large
number
of
contemporaries
(see
Obituary.)
February 20th.-"Where's your Grammar, Sully?" (Gram. II.) .
Sully:
"Aw, sir, the dog got it, and didn't
leave enough over to be any good."
Sully had to get another, and we hope
the dog is recovering.
February 21st.-Denny Hill says there
are too many breaks between classes.
This is the first time in history that
anyone complained of "time off." We
congratulate Mr. Hill on his keenness
for work.
February 22nd.-New Geometry axiom:
"Things which are eoual to one another
are equal to everything .e lse." We
might add a class-room axiom: "Most
boys are equal to anything."
February 23rd.-When someone told H.
Cahill to-day that his mouth was a
"hiatus in his face," he is reported to
have said: "0 Lorr! How long have I
got to live?"
February 24th.-"Please, sir," said Leo
Cantw:ell, "if anyone laughs at you,
COLLEGE JOTTINGS
should you bash him or let him go?"
As we remarked last year, L.C.'s
method is to bash first and then apologise.
February 25th.-Peter Kenny and Vincent Merlo left to-day to join the ranks
of st. Patrick's representatives at the
J.e suit novitiate, Sydney.
Our best
wishes go with them. In a few years
they will be "getting their own back"
in one or other of the colleges!
February 2,7 th."Higher still and higher,
From the earth thou springest;
Like a cloud on fire
To the sky thou cling-est,
And singing still dost soar,
And snoring ever singest."
This from Gram. lA to-day. Good job
the poet is safely dead-or this would
about finish him off.
February 28th.-"Mounting his horse he
rode madly in all directions," says one
of the l.B litterateurs. "Madly" is
right, and we're sorry VT" weren't there
to see that extraordinary feat.
March lst.-J ohnny Dennis, taken off his
guard, said there were 48 pence in
2/-. His "confederate" (Mr. Pilbeam)
immediately produced a 2/- piece and
asked for change. J.D. is still running.
March 2nd.-"The Red-hot Saveloy Review" has once more raised its u Q.'ly
head. The Editor, L. Cantwell, says
he is determined to secure his public
before Mr.
Coutts produces his
threatened "Pepper-pot." We hope he
does.
March 3rd.-If this would only happen to
more of us-Tom Breheny's mother
had her bag snatched the other day,
and in it was the school report of Tom,
who can now "prove an alibi."
If
any mothers find school reports in
their bags they'll know why.
March 6th.-"When the skylark thinks
of his family, he sings
""Oh I
wish I had someone to love me," ca~e
a mumble from the back of lA.
March 7th.-"The principal men in
V~nice ~ere the big land-owners,"
saId KeVIn Keaney; but that's nothing.
N~rman Stiles, in his French Essay,
saId the "ducks were grazing in front
of the house." Norm. has been chewing the cud on this ever sinc.e.
March 8th.-The Annual Retreat started
to-day, under the direction of Father
J. Egan, S.J., of Richmond.
"Some
lectures, sir," said an Intermediate-ite.
15
March 9th.-"The lecture on Death was
a hum-dinger," said D. Carmody. It
must have been, to impress D.C.
March 10th.-12 X 6 = 97, said Tom
Moloney. "Pipe down," interjected
Cosgrove-12 X 6 = 63!" The master
was carried out into the fresh air,
and is doing as well as can be expected.
March llth.-St. Patrick's Day celebrated in town to-day.
The College
car was most beautifully decorated bv
Miss Joseph, and had it been eligible
would surely have won first prize. We
had a formidable contingent in the
procession. Their marching was excellent.
March 13th.-"Who led the French at
the Battle of the Nile?" "Nelson, sir,"
gaid D. Prentice. "And did the battle
end at 10 o'clock in the morning or
evening?" "In the afternoon, sir."
Yet many say that Desmond is quite
a bright lad.
March 14th.-It is reported that the
Element-ites are starting an ' antiPrefect move. It will begin as soon
as they have mastered the pronunciation of "no penalization without representa tion."
March 15th.-Father Rector in History
class:-"Brennan (K.), What language did Luther use in his denunciation of the Church 7" K.B.: "Pretty
bad, sir."
March 16th.-The most outstanding
Greek of ancient times was Pluto,
if we are to believe John McAreavy.
He may have meant Plato. Weare not
sure.
March 17th.-St. Patrick's Day-and, of
course, a holiday. Some are alarmed
already by the thought that next year
it will fall on a Saturday.
March 20th.-A. Vigano made history
to-day in English class. It was like this:
Mr. Van Baer: "What do the words
'different pace' mean in the lines 'I
feel the different pace of some ch~ste
footing near the ground 7" "A.V.:
"Oh, sir, it was because the lady was
chased!" A.V. very nearly was.
March 21st.-The Prefects have arranged a picture night at the Regent
on the 31st inst. as a school contribution to the St. Vincent's Hospital
appeal.
As a percentage of each
ticket sold goes to the appeal, we
wish them every success.
16
COLLEGE JOTrINGS
March 22nd. - "Cosmopolitan" means
"half-caste,"
according
to
John
Brennan.
The History Master disagreed, and we don't blame him.
March 23rd.-We understand that Kevin
McSpeerin talks Latin in his sleep.
l'his is enthusiasm indeed. Some
other masters might ask:
Does he
ever talk French, Algebra or Geometry!
~, _.
March 24th.-Can anyone patent a nonrattling paper bag to enable B. Thynne
to have his lunch in peace during that
spare period? At times, he says, he
feels particularly embarrassed.
March 27th.-"Who was with Admiral
Collingwood at the Battle of Trafalgar?" asked the unsuspecting History
Master. "Syd. Coventry," came a stage
whisper from J. Pilbeam"-who is
still alive.
March 28th.-Mario Ballini had a difference of opinion with a "windowseater" in Gram. lA. After half the
class had g0t between them, Mario
expended his hitherto unwas·t ed energy
by tearing twelve strands of elastic
int()l little bits. The class unanimously
agreed that Mario is "a tough guy."
(Only when roused.-Ed.)
March 29th.-Old Boys' Annual General
Meeting. The College Hall was full to
0verfiowing and the meeting very enthusiastic. We congratulate Mr. R. P.
Clerehan on being elected President
for the ensuing year, and-we may
say-we congratulate the Association
on having such an enthusiastic old boy
as leader of their activities.
March 30th.-There was considerable
trepidation among the masters to-day
when it was known that Jimmy
Coakley came to school with a doublebarrelled shot-gun;
However, we
breathed again when it was known that
Jimmy was only taking it down town
for repairs.
March 31st.-Jack McEncroe and the
other Prefects ar.e to be heartily congratulated on the success of the picture night for St. Vincent's Hospital.
The "Regent" was crowded out tonight, and the boys' donation to the
hospital amounted to £25. Fathers,
mothers,
sisters, brothers, aunts,
uncles, friends and strangers were
"roped in" to, fill the ranks. A real
"College Night." Our 19'33 Prefects
have certainly started well.
April 3rd.-"We sent out my little
brother to be christened 'Garry,'" said
Pat Sullivan, "and he came back
'James Henry.' What do you think of
that?" We really don't know what to
think. Perhaps it was a misprint.
April ' 4th.-We should have mentioned
that Bill Brown, who was in the 1932
Leaving Class, left two days ago to
begin his training in the Jesuit Novitiate, Sydney.
We wish him every
success. He should feel quite at home
at "Loyola," considering the large
number of St. Patrick's representatives
already in residence there.
April 5th.-"Of course," said the sarcastic master (IA), "I wouldn't dream
of interrupting you boys when you're
talking."
"Don't worry, sir," whispered a back-bencher "go ahead; we're
broadminded. "
April 6th.-The joke of the s.eason was
heard to-day when Casimir Forehan
told some intimates that he has to
travel home in a smoking compartment, so that the fair sex won't -flock
round him when they see his Prefect's
cap!
April 7th.-" Si tu veux, faisons un
reve," ran the opening line of the
French poem. John Brennan insisted
on translating it. He just got in ahead
of McPhee. Romantic youth! "Bah!"
says Des. Harris.
The Annual Easter Retreat for the
St. Patrick's Men's Sodality began
this evening. It is being conducted b~
Father Boylan, S.J.
April lOth.-Someone "hiccup-ed" in
class. "The voice of departed spirits,"
suggested Leo Cantwell. Only that
the master was there we would have
buried L. C. long ago!
April
llth.-European History has
depths unsounded, but someone in
Leaving Class to-day got pretty deep
when, to the question, "What was the
most important race in Europe?" he
replied "The English Derby, sir!"
April l2th.-We knocked off work today
(at 3.30) until next Wednesday. We
were not sure of getting Easter Tuesday-but the main thing is-we got
it. To give the master in 1A food for
thought over Easter, Des Carmody told
him that "crede experto" means "Put
on a spurt," sir.
April 19th.-Everything comes to an end
-even an "extra" day, so we rolled
up this morning after a busy week
doing nothing. It was no strain for
most of us.

competition are being received. "Sixpence or not sixpence," mused ' John

Scotch nor Hebrew. Maybe it's a misprint for "Henniski."

it's missing, how can he get it?
September 21st.-There was a roar in

October 12th.---1Father MeA. remarked

The Rev. T. O'Dwyer, 8.J., is the
popular Rector of St. Patrick's College.
Whilst the welfare and advancement of
the School of necessity must receive his
best attentions, he never loses sight of
the fact that the Old Boys' Assoc~atiQn
is a great power for good in helping
to keep the College in the public eye,
and in providing positi.ons for our young
lads leaving College and passing out into
the business world. Father O'J?wyer
does not only think this, but expresses
it on all possible occasions when present
at our functions. Our Rector has had
happy associations with St. Patrick's
since 1903.
Long may he be with us
to guide. the present, and extend a welcome to the past.
Rody Patrick .Clerehan was ap~ointed
President of the Old Boys' Association
for the year 1933-4. We are pleased to
be able to congratulate Mr. Clerehan and
his wife on the success of the year's
activities.
After matriculating and leaving College, Rody passed the Civil Service
Exam.; but lacking the right sort of
influence did not receive an appointment.
Clerical work occupied him, till passing
the reformed Civil Service Exam. he was
appointed ' to the Postmaster-General's
Department, where he remained till the
outbreak of the war, when he was appointed to the Defence Department as
Paymaster to the Naval, Military and
Air Forces.
Cricket was Rody's hobby, first With
the Old Sports Depot competitions, ~nd
later with the I. and II. Elevens of Richmond. C.Y.M.S. and Friendly Society
work next occupied his attention.
He
held the offices of President and Hon.
Secretary of the Council of the C.Y.M.S.
of Victoria. Grand President and Grand
Treasurer of the H.A.C.B.S. followed.
This last office he held for 20 y~ars.
He feels proud of the fact that whilst
he himself was National President of the
Hibernians, another Old Boy, Leo Sullivan, was Hon. Secretary.
In 19'11 Rody spent six months travelling through America and Europe.
Rody has two young Patricians attending the College.
Arthur Adams.-A leading city barrister is Arthur. A committee man, and
ever willing to act on sub-committees.
As keen as ever on his game of ' handball, and what a walker!
Jim Ahern had the misfortune to lose
his son, who received fatal injuries in
a polo match at Bendigo. To Jim we
extend our heartfelt sympathy.
James C. Archer (1914-1918) is Deputy
Custodian of Dept. Affairs in New
Guinea. James C. is uncle of Brian and
Kevin Sullivan, pupils at the College.
Bert Anderson is in Sydney in the
Commonwealth Public Service. He is a
footballer of some note.
Vincent Alford has stopped growing
somewhere under the 7 ft. mark. Bridge
building, railway construction, and the
like are just awaiting his engineering
skill.
Emanuel Antonie lives at Greensborough, but trips to the city at least
once a day, dropping his son at the
College on the way. Emanuel is an accountant and puts in his spare time at
golf.
Captain Henry Boyle, with his many
qualifications military, civil and commercial-he is also ·a n accountant--would
make an ideal Minister for Defence.
R. C. Binnie.-"Bob" is in Sydney in
the Federal Government-Sales Tax
Dept.-was one of the Patricians to join
Father McLoughlin in an Old Boys'
lunch in Sydney last Christmas.
Leo Black is in the Railway Department.
His' family is growing.
This
must be the chief cause of our seeing
him so seldom.
Bill Breen seems to be enjoying married life and the Sustenance Department.
(Closely allied, I heard some - one
whisper.)
The double responsibility,
however, does not prevent him indulging
in his frequent game of handball.
Fred and Gerald Bibby are true
Patricians. Fred, we hear, is a radio
announcer, whilst Gerald is with a wine
and spirit merchant in the city.

"locum t enens."
William Burnes.-"Bull," as he was
named at school, is another rec.ently
married, but he seems "just the same."
Bill Bateman has changed very little
with the year s-not that they are so

Kevin Broderick is in his third year's
Theology at Corpus Christi College.
John Broderick is with the De La Salle
Brothers in New South Wales.
Dr. Beovich is still at the Cathedral.
Inspector of Christian Doctrine in our
schools. The Doctor lost his father last
July. R.I.P. We extend to him our sincerest sympathy.
Milo Bourke has many interests in the
Pakenham district, not the least of which
is a large family to add to the numerous
relations of the "Bourke Clan."
James L. Brennan has a legal practice
in Collins Street. A recent visit to the
College showed his interest in his Alma
Mater.
Rev. Joseph Brennan, S.J., is still at
Xavier College. During Father Fahy's

His
has been a varied career. During the
war we find him in the Tropics managing the mission in our Mandated Territory;
later
Acting Superior at
Corpus Christi. On a previous occasion
Father Brennan was Acting Superior
of the Australian Mission.
Andrew Byrne finds it difficult to settle
down after his many trips abroad. We
expected some interesting literature
from him after his return from the
Eucharistic Congress in Ireland. So far
expectations not realised, but we live in
hopes.
J~mes Bruce, our able Secretary, is an
engmeer by profession. Jim has had a
hard year, as the depression is without
doubt felt most by such organisations as
0l!rs, but w?-en things go hardest so does
JIm, and hIS surplus energy is let go in
the secretarial work of the newly formed
Old Boys' Dramatic Club.

ventures. He has a nephew at the College.

some of his friends did not recognise

Rev. Fat her J. S. Bourke, S.J., has his
headquarters at Richmond, but we feel
sure that his heart is at St. Patrick's. He

of the New Loyola at Watsonia is one
of his many cares, and its opening early
next year will be welcomed by many.
Walter Broder ick, a Vice-President of
the Association, a big man in many
ways, gives a lot of his time to matters

Finance appears to be Walter's hobby.
Stanley Byr nes is advancing fast in
the pharmacy wor ld. We wisp him turther success.

behind them-if at all.
Tom Carey is t o be found at Hartley's

of him except on holidays.
Rev. Louis Cardiff, S.J., is at Valkenburg, Holland, continuing his studies for

with Mr. Clapp's happy band, and was

with F. O. Barnett and Co. and a

of late, much to the regrets of the Old
Patricians.
Their flashes of wit and
humour are missed.
The Rev. Father J. Cahir is stationed
at St. James', North Richmond.
The
following lines from a contemporary
speak for themselves, and also for the
Revs. M. Dolan, J. Cahir and J. Sweeney:
-A record of which the Old Collegians
of St. Patrick's College, East Melbourne, feel justly proud is the fact
that the first student ordained from
Manly Seminary, Rev. M. Dolan, is an

student ordained- from Corpus Ohristi

student of the College. Fr. Sweeney is

Pilot at Point Cook? We have lost the

politics in the State House, is back in
the Department. He made a name for
himself whilst in the House as an able
and fearless speaker.
"Col" Cruise pops up now and again
to give us guidance in financial a~d
commercial matters.

any further successes of Allan's in the
pharmacy world. Being a married man

big men in the grocery business, and
th~ir waggon' is seen occasionally in the
streets, but we never see the lads. Why?
THE PAST

by weight, we fear for. fi~es. Tom IS a
fireman, and what a bUIld.

has a son and heir, a .bonny chap. HIS
hmsiness worries are wIth McKay's, Sunshine but they are dispelled by a regular g~me of handball at the school.

the Construction Branch of the Victorian Railways. 'Tis time we had a

The committee of the Old Boys celebrated the event by presenting the
happy couple with a slight token of
their esteem.
Louis C. Moore is still at the head of
the timber firm of James Moore. We

James F . O'Neill.- I shall have to
wait until I hear of Jim's engagement
or marriage before I can add anything
to what has a lready been said in past

Mannix has a great opinion of him as
a speechmaker . J im's advice and guidance and or g anising ability are with us
now as ever.
H enry O'H alloran has not now a son
at the College. It seemed second nature

past , but he has a nephew with us,
Master McSpeerin. Henry is still dispensing at North Carlton, and h as a
helper in his son H arry, who also attends lectures at the University.
Ogge, Jas.-As keen as ever is Jim,

M. M. Prendergast writes to Father
McLoughlin from "The Yanko," J erilderie, New South Wales, thanking him
for the issues of the "Patrician" for 1931
and 1932, and forwarding his subscription for the 1933 issue. A good example
a great many could follow. M. M. regrets that he, cannot see mention of many
of his school day companions, but adds
that this is not to be wondered at as he
left the · College 53 years ago. "Time
and the change of circumstances have
scattered my youthful companions." A
promise is added that when next in Melbourne he will certainly look up old
associations.

Edmund Ryan come.s rather late on
the list. Like many of the other stalwarts who have kept the Old Boys' flag
flying through many vicissitudes, he expects no praise. The success of the old
school is sufficient, and Ted certainly
does his "bit" to keep the College well in
the limelight. The old address, E. Ryan

R. PETERSON, S.J.
The growth of the College during th&
last decade has brought a steady increase in the number of senior boys who
go out each year to shoulder the responaibilities of life. In addition to their
youth, with its idealism and generosity,
these boys carry with them the advantages of a sound Catholic higher education, and are therefore especially fitted
to work for the cause of Christ. Not a
few, in accordance with the high tradition of the School, will consecrate themselves to their Divine Master as priests
or religious; but for most the way of life
lie in the world. It would, however,
be a tragic mistake for those who have
no "vocation" to think themselves debarred from the special service oft their
King. On the contrary, He deigns to
need all. It is true that for the continuance of His work on earth He founded
. His Church, gave it an organised priesthood, or Hierarchy, and made this
Hierarchy primarily responsible for the
maintenance and spread of His Kingdom i nevertheless, neither He Himself,
nor His Apostles after Him, nor their
successors, have ever disdained the loyal
co-operation of the ordinary faithful in
- the r ealisation of the divine purposes.
In modern times especially, when the
condition of human society and the needs
of souls clamour for intense, sustained
action on the part of the entire Chur ch,
the Popes, speaking in the name of
Christ, have urged not merely the inward
development of the Catholic life, but
also, most insistently, the participation
of the laity in the apostolate. Such
participation they call "Catholic Action."
N ow, what exactly do the Popes mean
by this term? No doubt any effort we
may make, whether it be organised or
no~, whether in public or in private, to
brmg others under the influence of the
Fai~h, may broadly be called Catholic
ActIOn. But the Popes have restricted
the m~aning of the term to organised
C~thO~IC activity carried on under the
dIrectIOn of the Bishops. Ther~ are
many excellent Catholic works in existence throughout the world due to unofficial enterprise; they are praised and
e~couraged by the Holy See or by the
BIshops; but since they are not under
ecclesiastical direction, the Church claims
no place in their executive, and undertakes no responiibility for them. Such
will
works may be described as the action of
Catholics. On the other hand, " Catholic
Action" has been defined by the present
Holy Father to consist in the laity's participation in the apostolical work of the
Episcopate; and this definition clearly
implies that the activity of the laity,
however spontaneously offered or exercised, must be controlled by the authority to whom Christ committed t he
apostolate, namely, by the Bishops.
The' purpose of this apostolate is explained by Pope Pius XI as follows;"The first aim of Catholic Action is to
make good Christians. But the Christian,
once formed, must try to impart to
others the life he has receiv€d. He
should bear the treasure of the Christian
Faith everywhere, and seek to make it
operative in every sphere of life-in
the family, in public life, even in matters
of state." The phrase, "even in matters
of state" will sound ominous to the
prejudiced, who have made for themselves the absurd bogey of " political
Rome;" but the Pope's meaning is not
in the least sinister. Two years ago,
when denouncing the attacks made on
Catholic Action in Italy, he emphatically
declared that Catholic Action is not
political. "Repeatedly and solemnly," he
said, "We have affirmed and protested
that Catholic Action, both of its very
nature and because of our - precise,
categorical directions, is outside and
above all party politics." Like the
Church herself, whose apostolate it
shares, Catholic Action has nothing to
do with forms of government as such,
republican, monarchical, or even tribal;
it does not seek to interfere with legitimate political or national a£pirations;
but it does quite definitely aim at bringing the principles of Catholic Truth to
bear on im'p0 rtant matters of public
p.olicy. Thus its purpose, even when
concerned with public and national life,
is wholly spiritual, "othel'-worldly;" it
sets itself to bring men's thoughts, activities, laws and institutions into conformity with divine teaching; to secure
the liberty of the Church herself in her
own sphere, to defend her rights in the
matter of education, to safeguard the
family, to uphold the Christian dignity
of labour, to affirm the mutual rights
and guties of employers and workers i
in a word, "to restore all in Christ."
36
KING'S MEN
For the achieving of so vast a mission
.organisation is manifestly necessary;
but on this point we must avoid a misconception. It is by no means required
that the laity be marshalled into one,
universal body. In this respect their
union in the True Church is enough.
But the apostolate proposed to them is
many- sided; so much so, that even the
Catholic Action associations have found
it necessary to form sub-groups within
themselves, with special work assigned
to each. Side by side with these associations there exist other approved
b.odies, s.ome of them founded long before
the modern movement began, which,
though not bearing the name, and
though devoted to a particular branch
of the apostolate, belong none the less
specifically to· Catholic Action as defined
by the Popes. Such, for example, is the
Catholic Evidence Guild in England, the
function of which is the public exposition
and defence of Catholic doctrine. (The
members, braving human respect, lecture
in Hyde Park and other public places
just as the Socialists, Rationalists and
!limilar "Yarra Bank" types do) . In
England also, t.o name hut a few, are
the Catholic Truth Society, the Catholic
Young Men's Society, the St. Vincent de
Paul Society, and various Guilds for men
and boys. On the Continent are to be
found flourishing Catholic labour unions,
the great International Union of Catholic
University Students, .s ocieties for the
teaching o~ catechism, clubs for the
Btudy of social questions, and so on according to the special needs of each
country, almost of each diocese; while
the Catholics .o f the United States, as
one would expect, g.o about the work
with characteristic energy and clearsightedness, even to the point of establishing Summer Schools for the study of
Catholic Action itself.
Here in our own country we have
!luch organisations as the Campion
Society, the Catholic Federation, the
Catholic Young Men's Society, the St.
Vincent de Paul Society, the Catholic
Seamen's Mission, the Catholic Truth
Society, Knights and Crusaders of the
Blessed Sacrament, the
Australian
branch .of the Apostleship of Prayer, and
various confraternities (e.g. of the Sac-
red Heart, of the Holy Name). Nor may
I omit the Sodality of the Blessed
Virgin, which, while offering abundant
help for the deepening of its members'
personal spiritual life, is yet singularly
adapted to the purposes of Catholic
Action. Our people, therefore, have no
need to look for new organisations, or
to stand idle waiting for a lead. The
various societies I have mentioned are
constantly brought to their notice by
our Bishops and priests; appeals are
made for membership, and if in every
case the response were but as earnest
as the appeal, I am sure that the heart
of many a pastor would be rejoiced at
the vigour infused into the prosecution
of. our Saviour's cause.
Hence, to the senior boys .o f my own
old School I would say: Consider well
the high vocation offered you in Catholic
Action. You are asked to share in nothing less than the mission for which the
Son of God came into the world, for
which He chose Apostles and founded
His Church. And our own country has
especial, pressing need o~ the Christ, of
His Truth, of His Church. If you do
not know this now, you will learn it
soon enough when you leave school.
Meanwhile, the Church is calling upon
her children, upon you; she offers you
a choice among many organisations for
the exercise of your talents and your
fresh enthusiasm; do not hang back.
Try, if you can, to take part in her work
in your own parish; and when you do
join any association, be not an inactive
member. Catholic Action means action
-that is, hard w.o rk; not merely paying
a subscription (if one is needed), or
enjoying whatever means of amusement
our Catholic societies may think well
to provide. Truly, with so 'm uch at
stake, with such possibilities before us
if we did but bestir ourselves, we should
be poor followers of Christ were we
content to saunter along placidly through
life, ready to receive favours from Him,
but doing absolutely nothing for Him.
No; apathy is a dreadful blight on Catholic life, the most heart-breaking perhaps of all the difficulties the Church has
to encounter. Christ calls. Let us all
be true Kin~'s Men.

F ATH.ER DOMINIC CONNELL, S.J.
~
Well nigh fifty years ago a lad left
St. Patrick's College and entered the
Jesuit Novitiate, then at Xavier College,
Kew. That boy was Dominic Connell,
who in tre fullness of time was ordained
and who, after years of labour in God's
cause, was called to his reward last
August.
After leaving the Novitiate. Father
Connell studied at Louvain and Dublin
and was ordained to the priesthood in
Ireland. Returning to Australia he ,filled
for several years the office of Minister at
Xavier College, being transferred later
to Riverview College, Sydney, and to St.
Aloysius' College, North Sydney. He was
also for many years in charge of the
Parishes of North Sydney and Norwood,
South Australia. Strangely enough he
was never on the staff of his old school.
Five years ago he became seriously ill
and was appointed to the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, Hawthorn, Victoria, where he remained until continued
ill-health caused him to enter St. Benedict's private hospital where he died.
The obsequies took place at the Church
of the Immaculate Conception and were
attended by upwards of sixty priests and
a crowded congregation, which included
the nuns and pupils of the parish schools
and many representatives of the Old
Collegians of St. Patrick's and of Xavier
College.
To his brother, Father Frank Connell,
S.J. (Riverview College, Sydney), and
to his sisters and remaining brothers we
extend our sincerest sympathy. May his
soul rest in peace.
FATHER CHARLES REILLY.
When news reached us on July 22nd
that Father Charlie Reilly had just died
~Charlie Reilly who had been ordained to
the priesthood but a short week beforea hush of death came down on the College, especially on those Masters who
knew him so well. It was so hard to
realise that he who a few days before
ha~ been receiving showers of congratulatIons from his friends, was now no
m?re. A few words from the touching
trlbut~ paid to his memory by His Grace
ArchbIshop Mannix say more than any
words of ours could do.
" Your prayers are I'€quested for the
eternal repose of the soul of Father
Charles Reilly. Little did I think yesterday week. when it was my privilege to
ordain Father .Reilly to the priesthood,
that so soon I should be asking for the
prayers of his friends for the repose of
his soul. Little did his fellow students
think-they who were so proud of him
that day, that instead of welcoming him
home to Corpus Christi College to finish
his scholastic career, they would be summoned to St. Patrick's Cathedral to chant
his requiem. I can assure you that this
is a very sad day for me personally,
for I knew him so long and intimately.
I knew him as a pupil at St. Patrick's
College and as an altar-boy at the
Cathedral. He had grace, refinement and
charm, and I was delighted though not
surprised when I learned that he felt he
was called to serve God in the Sanctual-Y.
Then he went to Corpus. Christi College,
where he had a most distinguished
career and I looked forward to the day
when I might confer upon him the dignity of the 'p riesthood and welcome him
to the diocese. But God's ways are not
our ways. . . . To-day and for many
days, we shall remember him in our
prayers. We feel that his gentle, innocent soul has little, if anything to atone
for, but still our prayers will follow him."
Father Reilly passed his early schooldays at St. Ignatius'. He entered St.
Patrick's in 1923 and from there passed
on to Corpus Christi College. Two of
his old masters at St. Patrick's, Fathers
M. Egan and IR. Peterson, S.J., who are
now on the staff at Corpus Christi, had
nothing but the highest praise for the
talented. unassuming student und~r their
charge and had often predicted great
things in the days to come, for our
worthy Old Patrician.
To his sorrowing parents and sister
we offer our heartfelt sympathy in their
great loss. That loss, we too, at his
old school, share in no small measure.
God rest his soul.
JOHN B. LEE (1902-1907).
Though not unexpected the death of
Johnny Lee in March last came as a
great shock to his many friends
amongst the Old Patricians.
Johnny came to the College as a small
boy - in. I think, 1902, and left in 1907,
38
OBITUARY
having made his mark in College life as
a student, as a champion athlete, and as
a born leader on the football and cricket
fields.
Rare gifts and great personal endowments were indeed his. He had an engaging personality and an ease and
charm of manner with which anyone
who ever came in contact with him was
at once impressed. Johnny can truly
be said to have been a pillar of the
School in form and in field, a fine athlete,
revelling and excelling in every branch
of sport in which he maintained great
and practical interest throughout his all
too short life. Yet withal he was an
extremely shy and retiring boy, never
boastful of his prowess.
As an Old Boy J Qhnny Lee was a
shining example of loyalty. Rarely was
he missing from a College function,
never from the annual ball. Wherever
the crowd was thickest and the wit and
humour flowing fastest, there was
Johnny, doing more than his share to
make the function a success.
As a citizen John B. Lee was as great
a success as he was, as a student and
an athlete. He first entered commercial
life at Wallace near his home town.
Later he joined the Public Service and
was appointed to the Taxation branch.
There he remained some years.; most
popular with his superiors, and with the
general public. Johnny was destined,
however, for a wider field. His ability
soon brought him under the keen business eye of another Patrician, Edmund
Ryan, and we next find him with the
iuccessful firm of accountants, Downey
and Ryan. Later on we see him taking
over the management of the New Boundary Hotel, East Melbourne, where
once again success followed him-success made easier by his marriage to a
charming and most capable young lady.
Then, just when there seemed to be
many bright years before him God willed
to take him. For many months before
the final call, Johnny knew the worst,
but with smiling resignation to God's
will, he went home, fortified by the rites
of the Holy Church he loved so well and
of which he was an ornament.
Requiem Mass was celebrated at 7
a.m. by the Rev. Father T. McLoughlin,
S.J., of St. Patrick's College, who was
an unfailing friend of Johnny's in his
last illness. At 10 a.m. there was the
official requiem celebrated by the Rev.
Dr. Greenan, his parish priest, at which
there was a large assemblage of priests
and people. His remains were taken to
his native town of Gordon, and were
followed there by a great throng of his
Melbourne friends-a tribute, i:15 one were
needed, to his lovable and unassuming
character.
Rest to his soul and peace to the souls
of those left to mourn his going-to his
wife and to his sisters and brothers.
May his dear soul rest in peace.
NICHOLAS PffiRIE.
It was with tragic suddenness that the
death of Nicholas Pirrie followed on that
of his class-fellow, Father Charles Reilly.
We heard that he wa;:: in Mena House
Private Hospital with a poisoned hand.
Then came the serious news that he had
received the last sacraments and almost
immediately afterwards we got the· sad
tidings of his death. Once again the
class-mates who, scarcely a fortnight
before, had gathered in the Cathedral
to gray for and do honour to Father
Reilly, came together at St. James'
Church, N ol'th Richmond, loyally and
~aithfully to pay a tribute to their comrade called away so soon.
Our sincerest sympathy goes out to
his parents, brothers and sisters, to
whom this loyal tribute of his friends
must have brought solid comfort in their
sorrow.
May God be merciful to his s.oul.

Ifrripntrtira
By ARTHUR ADAMS.
This is not an endea vour to
present scientifically what can be
a very scientific matter, nor to
treat with literary flourish of the
scenic grandeurs of our country.
The first approach is available in
any Bushman's Guide or in "What
every Scout should know," but the
subject is always exhausted together with the re'ader.
I understand that Kipling on his
visit to Australia was persuaded to
record his impressions of Lorneand the impressions sti1l survive in
the tourists' handbooks. At any
rate that sort of writing is open to
all sorts of deception. I remember
once we decided to see the muttonbirds coming home from the sea to
Cape Woolamai. Rut the Gape is
covered with the burrows in which
they nest, and the party decided to
make back to camp before dark.
The mutton-birds choose that in--stant to return when the sun just
slips below the horizon, and by that
time we were back in our camp. We
never went to see them again, but
when we returned to the city, one
of our party wrote some memoirs
of the trip. The most interesting
and descriptive passage was that
which dealt with the homing of
the myriads of mutton-birds, and
it was done with a wealth of detail !
Perhaps the justification for
such a paper as this is that it may
shed some new light on that old
problem of what to do with your
holidays, and for that reason it is
addressed mainly to that happy
brotherhood of Old Boys who have
not yet shouldered too many
responsibilities in life and who do
not seek too much luxurious ease in
their vacation.
There are pl'obably some who
will object that the title of this
article should have been, "Hiking."
It is precisely to that term and to
all it implies that the walker objects. Hiking, whatever conn?tation it bore in its first Amencan
(or was it English '?) usage, has a
distinct meaning to-day. It can
be summed !Up as a form of mass
exercise taken noisily in a rural 'a tmosphere.
The inhabitants of
Yarra Glen were never so startled,
even in their stirring bush-ranger
days, as when an army of hikers
marched through, six hundred
strong, led by a piper and a guide
-and disappe'a red over the hill, a
multi-coloured, weirdly-garbed array. But the bush avenged that
noisy insult to its majestic solitude.
Their guide lost them and finally
lost himself.
Some straggled
through to Eltham; the remainder,
after coursing up and down gullies,
tired, scratched and beaten, dropped back to Yarra Glen well into
the night.
Now, your true walking party is
not crowded nor is it noisy. There
are your marching songs and your
camp-fire ballads, but that is a
different matter. The ideal number for a party is almost universally fixed at three. That is because two can always talk to each
other if the third wants to be alone
with his thoughts. There can always be a considerable amount of
valuable discussion, Did not Aristotle found a philosophical school
of walkers? Yet much contemplation is necessary for everyone of
us. What better surroundings for
it than a verdant fern gully with
its slender lace-like wattles and its
glinting copper beeches? All of
40
THE PERIPATETICS
which leads to that important
question of how to compose your
party.
As an essential, you must have a
humorist.
But beware of the
epigrammatist. The wit th~t sets
a salon smiling rarely raIses a
sparkle on a long and dusty road.
Remember how the Adrl1irable
Crichton cured an epigrammatist.
He just used a bucket of water. It
needs a rare capacity to see
humour in the discovery that the
meat supply of the party for the
next three days is already a day's
march behind in the place where it
had been left for safety! ' Still,
that capacity .is possible, and if you
see a man with it, be sure to put
him on your list.
Be sure to take some efficient
cooks with you, but not ~oo m·~ny.
The expression of the vanous VIewpoints even 'on such simple matters
as the cooking of pota~oes,. can b~­
come acrimonious. BOlled In theIr
jackets, roasted, fried or baked,
they taste all the same to most
men, but not to the experts.
The best solution of the important question of where to go is to
ask someone who has walking experience. But if you are going on
a walk of several days' duration,
try to ensure that you have ~ hut
for every night. Now let me Int~o­
duce you to one of the mystenes
of the art. The Bush is riddled
with deserted huts an<;l houses of
all descriptions, and habitable ones
at that. What is more important,
they are free from the familiar or
domestic insect friend. Most of
them were put up by shingle splitters - men who, in the old day.s,
went out alone into the mountaIn
ash country to fell trees and spJit
them into the shingles that adorn
our back fences.
I must digress here to .remi~d
you that our country has Its h~s­
toric interest. We have had a diet
-even a surfeit of rambles recently, in search of England, Ireland, Scotland, and many ot~er
parts. You will find that the chIef
charm of a literary ramble through
these countries is the history and
traditions of the places visited by
the author. But we in Victoria
have places as bea~tifu.l as they 3:re
accessible, each WIth Its own hIStory and - traditions. However,
here the once flourishing township
or village does not settle into the
slow and smiling decay of the older
countries. The bush ruthlessly and
magnificently flows back to rec?ver
the ground it has lost. I t sprIngs
up round 'a nd even underneath the
buildings and in a few years appears, ex~ept on close scrutiny, to
be virgin country. The -roads and
tracks vanish in similar fashion.
There are stretches of the Yarra
track-the road tha t runs from
Marysville _to Woods Point, along
the Dividing Range that are uncanny in the sense they give you
of the vanquishing of man's works
at the hands of the forest:
" Could bushes hear, or if the gra ss had
eyes, .
Who could forecast our altered destinies?
Or should the forest become cons.cious
then,
Which would be ultimate victors, Tr ees
or Men?"
There are still many settlements,
especially in the Aberfeldy district,
that boast two or three houses
where once you would find thirty
to forty hotels, and a popul~tion of
at least twenty thousand. If you
do strike such a settlement, seek
out the older inhabitants 'and engage them in conversation. A good
lead is to ask why a certain local
and prominent spot received the
name it did. There is a tributary
into the Jordan River, just near
Jericho (Victoria) that shows on
all maps 'a s "B.B; Creek." The explanation, if you secure it, is as interesting as it is unexpected. But

THE PERIPATETICS
you must be prepared to study the
psychology of the coun~ryman.
Perhaps the best approach IS along
sympathetic lines. They are ~ll
"Hanrahans" at heart. You wIll
also find that most of them have
.studied the psychology Qf the
walker.
One Christmas mQrning we were
camped Qn the rQad from Walhalla
when a jQvial rider drew up and
asked if we had ever seen Qr WQuid
like to' see a gQld-mine. We pleaded
ignQrance and evinced curiQsity.
We fQllQwed him intO' the depths Qf
the hillside to the place where he
was wQrking. He was expecting to'
strike colQur at any time, it
seemed. We expressed a desire to'
see a dynamite charge explQded,
and had to' help him drive his chisel
anQther few inches intO' the rQck.
We had nO' success in our first essay
at mining, and he led us Qut again
and gave us SQme tea. All Qf us had
sQme · pretensiQns to' legal knQwledge and we helped him Qver SQme
difficulty he had in this respect.
The denQuement came a week later
when we had finished Qur trip and
were awaiting Qur hQme-gQing
train on the statiQn. SQme fellQw
walkers turned up and tQld us in
the CQurse Qf cQnversatiQn: that Qne
Qf the most interesting items Qf
their trip was the day they spent
in a gQld mine near Walhalla,
where they drilled several hQles fQr
a miner, whO' exploded a charge for
them. We said nothing. We Qnly
thQught that BrQadway is nQt the
exclusive home of the gold-digger.
Walhalla typifies the kind of surprise that always awaits the
walker. The town comprises now
about one hundred and fifty souls,
but it has a library that in the
number of its volumes and their
newness, would put to shame any
municipal library in Melbourne. The
solution to that mystery is that it
once had a population of fifty
thousand, When its library was
41
splendidly endowed. The . chief
pride however, of Walhalla IS the
sport~ground. There is only one
flat spot near the t own (which is
str ung along both sides of a l1!0untain ravine) , and that spot IS. on
the top of a hill. The gully IS a
hundred feet below. In the fQotball
season the Walhalla native genius
scor es. The local team gets to the
gr ound ver y early in the morning
and rests. The visitors arrive by
the after noon t rain and are rushed
up to the ground. There is only a
track up, and it is a very steep
climb. They just sink down in the
dressing-room only t o see the local
team out with the ball, 'and the
umpir e looking at his watch!
That digression at Walhalla diverted the course of this article
from its concluding note- the advantages of seeing the country on
foot. .on most scenic trips taken
by car, the dr iver obtains a unique
and elevate~ view of the roadway,
and the passengers are interested
rather in their proximity t o t he
precipice than in the grand scenes
it discloses. If you are Qn foot you
can linger as long as you please
at these scenic spots. You can
lunch her e; you can even sleep her e
and see the dawn giving them new
and wonderful colourings. Moreyou can penetrate right into the
forest deeps, days away from the
roads. You must do that if you
want to know what those Australian poets ar e striving to' express,
what our painter s are barely catching on their canvas-the maj esty
of the bush, the spirit of the gum
trees.
There is an old man living in t he
midst of our most tr easured forest
possessions, 'a glorious belt of
mountain ash, where hardly a tree
fails to reach t wo hundred and
sixty feet. He is very old now and
he recently celebrated his seventysixth birthday by felling one of
those giants, and that unaided. He
42
THE PERIPATETICS
was following an interesting profession in the city and had 'a comfortable position.
But his wife
died young and he left all behind
him for his hut in the woods. When
you see him- there in his narrow
quarters and his few rude comforts, you wonder at him. But wait
till the sun sinks and you see the
moon tracing the delicate silhouettes of the tree-tops and you
feel the bush around you settling
to rest. Then a sense of peace
eternal steals over you. You stare
into his fire, hoping he will not go
to bed or send you off to your camp.
You have left a world many miles
behind you.. It may be only a week
ago that you left it, but it seems
an age. Then you begin to understand him and to understand too
why your ancestors and now you
yourself have sought out and revelled in the bush.

SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN
MARY.
(For Laymen.)
The year just closing has been a notable one for the Sodality. Attendances
were well sustained and we had the
privilege of listening to some brilliant
lectures, notably one on "Hitler," by Mr.
Denis Jackson, and one on "PseudoScience," by Mr. W. B. V. Knowles.
ln addition to conducting the spiritual
exercises of the Sodality, Rev. W. P.
Hackett, S.J., read a thought-provoking
paper on "Mysticism." Father Hackett
arranged his lecturettes in the Chapel so
as to develop several aspects of the life
of Christ. The Sodality is fortunate in
its Spiritual Director, and the Old! Boys
find particular gratification in the fact
that all the meetings are held at the
School.
On evenings not devoted to a paper
or lecture from some visitor, members
read papers on the various Encyclicals
of Pope Pius XI and on Catholic S,ocial
Studies. Much latent talent has been
unearthed at these meetings in the Hall.
The Encyclicals already covered are:
"Spain," "Quadragesimo Anno," and Education."
The social studies included Private
Property, Church and State, the Family,
and a Comparison between the English
and Canon, Laws of Marriage.
The office-bearers and' council of! the
Sodality are mainly Old Boys of St.
Patrick's. 'M. S. Walsh is First Assistant; James Dunne, W. McColl, James P.
Hennessy and M. Devlin are Councillors;
Carl McKernan and Arthur Adams are
Treasurer and! Secretary respectively;
and they wish to remind their fellow Old
Collegians that their presence at the
$odality meetings (first and third Friday of the month) is much desired.
~l~ Boys of every generation are hereb~
mVlted to become members without
delay. Those who have recently left
school as well as those leaving this year,
will be specially welcome at our 1934
meetings.

Prefect: Kevin Keely.
First Assistant: R. Morgan.
Second Assistant: M. Tuohy.
The Sodality B. V. M. held weekly
meetings very regularly during the year
till the illness of our Rev. Director
caused an interruption. In the beginning of November Fr. P. McCarthy took
up the direction, and under his guidance
tpe Sodality resumed its meetings and
held the annual election to membership.
The Sodality is pleased to welcom~
a large number of new members : -D.

K. McPhee, T. Moloney, R. Sullivan, E.
Roberts, J. Ryan, K, Schmetzer, M.
Sheehan, B. Shorten, N. Stiles, L. Tomlinson, V. Winter.
All these were elected to membership
in secret ballot by the members themselves of the Sodality.
Wp,en the Sodality reassembled the
members recited the Litany for the very
special intention: the speedy recovery of
their Director from illness; and they had
the pleasure after a few weeks of seeing
him resume his duties at the Colleg.e.
It is recorded in this year's annals of
the Sodality that the following members
of last year's Sodality left at the beginning of this year for "Loyola," Sydney,
the Jesuit Novitiate: Peter K'enny,
James Hawkins, Vincent Merlo, G.
McGinty, W. Brown, L. Newbold.
James McKernan and Thomas Russell
are preparing for the Chinese Mission
at St. Columban's, North Essendon.
SODALITY OF THE HOLY ANGELS.
Director: Rev. P. P. McCarthy, S.J.
The Council consists of the Rev.
Director and the following, who were

Assistant, L. Cantwell; Second Assistant,
R. Bull.
The boys of Grammar J. A-B, Gram.
II., Gram. III. were invited by the
Rev. Director to be present. They all
came.
The boys who were in the
Sodality last year voted for the officebearers of the Council.
As none of
those offering themselves for membership was rejected by the Council, the
following 43 boys were admitted to
membership on 1st May:-T. Antonie,
H. Balding, B. Bourke, W. Calanchini,
N. Clerehan, T. Clune, R. Cranswick, L.
Egan, K. Fahey, J. Farey, J. Franklin,

L. Meaney, J. Muirhead, Michael Moloney, K. Newman, W. Pietzsch, J. Shea,
·K. Sullivan, J. Toohey, A. Triaca.
During the year the Sodality met in
the Chapel during the Christian Doctrine
Hour, when the Director gave a short instruction.
In preparation for the Feast of the
Holy Angels, 2nd October, all the
Sodalists joined in a Novena to the Holy
Angels. The intentions that all agreed
to pray for were: the spiritual and temporal welfare of their parents and the
success of the College Candidates in the
approaching Public Examinations; and
all ag.r eed to receive Holy ComIJlu_nion
once at least during the Novena.

.~n's .~n
ut
Powell, Allan.-Otherwise "Skeeter,"
one of our intellectuals. A master of
facial expression-especially shocked
astonishment, when a master disagrees.
Invites all and sundry to his parties
and fails to turn up himself. Not
nearly as simple as he looks.
McGuinness, Maurice.-An expert behind
the counter. Has forgotten more about
chocolate bars, pink forget-me-nots
and general indigestible comestibles
than any of us ever knew. Has a
special voice for the telephone, and
makes the tradesmen hop to it.
McPhee, Keith. -A very deep philosopher and Leaving Class back-bencher.
Refuses to be bustled and gives 18
"ahs" before answering. Masters getting used to him now. Trying in vain
to take off weight. He should study
the methods of Dud Cranswick.
Fahey, Jim.-Well-known financier of
several years' standing. Senior and
Junior Libraries know him well.
Better than any Prefect for stopping
a riot. He has only to say, "Your
library subscription, please," and there
is a complete scatteration. It will
take a Hitler to suppress him ~hen
he gets loose.
Tracey, Pat.-A chubby little boy of
about 6 ft. 4 in. We might remark
that the accent is on the "chubby."
Wears number 12's, and a disarming
smile. Is usually seen safely across
the tram-lines by:Murphy, Hugh.-Our obstinate artist,
traces of whose photographic work
may be seen in this issue. He is also
our champion cackler. Wei are having
a H.M.V. record made of the cackle
as proof against him in later years.
It will be sold on special terms to
poultry keepers to give the hens a
proper association of ideas.
Catarinich, Maurice.-Vice-President of
the Cackle Society. Years ago learnt
the first line of a song, "Do you think
it's going: to rain to-day?ft and can't
get any further. In conjunction with
Frank
(original Buzz-Wuzz) has
started a small-arms factory.
The
~t.
'utrick's
mortality in blow-flies is reported enormous.
Thynne, B.-An absolute Tiger on and
off the field. Stalks his prey from
morning to night, and usually-"goodbye prey." Has developed a nice
French accent which Signor Vigano is
trying to copy (without much success).
Starts his lunch at 11.45 and at 1.30
is still going strong.
McEncroe, John.-Starting in Rudiments away back in the early ' "nineteens," John has eventually emerged
at the head of the College Law-andOrder Squad (sometimes called Prefects).
Brittle by nature (having
broken most limbs at one time or another) he is nevertheless a tower of
strength in things that matter, and
keeps a firm hand on the local underworld (the Murf. gang, for instance).
Godsell, J oe.-One of the quickest things
on two legs that we have seen. Is
half-way round the course befor e the
smoke of the pistol has cleared away.
Useful as a sleuth, too , when Gillespie, Thynne and Co. "go for a
stroll."
Cahill, Henry.-A bit of a dark horse~
only quicker.
You should see him
sprint for the "five past four" from
William Street. The rest of the trip
(dit-on) is very peaceful. J . Godsell
should follow this up.
Jones, J ames.-Began to smile fourteen
years ago and hasn't stopped yet. This
asset gets him a front seat ever y
time Richmond is playing. 7 a.m. finds
Jim (they say) forming a queue on
his own at the M.C.C. finals.
Tomlinson, L.-From the days when he
used to drink lemonade at the back of
Gram. III. L. T. has travelled far and
wide. Eventually settled down (if it
is possible, beside Sully) in Inter. Has
to wind up and pack away his legs in
class to avoid blocking the traffic.
Stiles, "Norm."-No class complete without him. Takes five minutes to unwind
a smile, but then you feel like posting
a letter; After readipg the "Five Gun
47
WHO'S WHO AT ST. PATRICK'S
Man" began to "lope" instead of
walking.
He now comes round a
corner in sections.
McCaffrey, J ohn.-"Higher still and
higher" should be his motto, because it
is his practice when high jumping.
Can it be that he carries a battery in
a hollow tooth? Is expected to beat
all records this year. In spare time is
a custodian of Law and Order.
Nestor, Francis.-Says he is descended
from the famous Nestor in Homer's
Iliad. Spends his time fitting branches
to the genealogical tree, and concludes
that there must have been a lot of
tree vandals about during the last
couple of thousand years. Very probably.
If he knew old N.estor I.
more intimately, he might not be so
keen on the relationship.
Cappi, E.-Favourite song: "Reach me
down a
star."
Like Tomlinson
(above), has to coil up his legs like a
lassoo to fit into his desk. At handball has only to stand still and reach
one way and the other. On cold days
freezes on the upper reaches.
Wallace, Nick.-An expert in original
Mathematics. All problems come alike
to him. In terms of exercises, holds
that one and one make three. In the
matter of exams. has strong leanings
towards fatalism. In "off" moments
soothes the volcanic moods of B. Nash.
Grogan, Gerard.-Willing (9.30 a.m.),
wishful (12.2:0), wilting' (2.45), woeful
- -(3.30) about sums him up.
Ryan, J ohn.-One of the "oldest living
inhabitants." Boys may come and boys
may go, but John (apparently) goes
on forever. A tennis star of magnitude (in any sense you like). When
he throws his weight about we feel
glad the house is insured.
Curtain, Dan.-Partner in the CoakCurtain firm of professional strollers.
This firm has strong etymological
leanings, and spends the fine afternoons studying nature and adjuncts
under the greenwood tree: And very
nice, too.
Kelly, F., Kelly, L., Kelly, R.-The
"Kelly gang" as you might suspect,
but not nearly as dangerous. Reported
to be live members of the Mutual Aid
Society-though this they indignantly
deny. They will be heard of later.
Pilbeam, J ohn.-A specialist. In what?
In everything from show samples to
spontaneous combustion. Can be heard
"being about to get ready to start to
go home" from 3.30 till five. Sings
(high falsetto) duets with Jack Dennis
(low flat). Can't live long at present
speed.
L'Estrange, Kevin.-A smaller "chip
off the old block" than the one in L.C.,
but very much in evidence all the same.
Occupies a different place in each class
according to the reaction of the particular master. If we could hear those
jokes that convulse his neighbours
we'd put them h ere (or would we?),.
We shall be surprised if he doesn't
make history.
Malloch, Kevin. -Fat, fair and (soon
to be) forty. Stands on one leg only
long enoug'h to shift to the other. Has
an india-rubber neck, and is said to
walk home backwards without anyone
knowing.
Stebbing, Frank.-One of the few "coppers" in the school. His fiery head
keeps the class warm in winter time.
Tells funny stories, and on Saturday
afternoons "does" chemistry with
Brian Sullivan, to the alarm of the
local police station. Is sure to rise one
day.
Hennessy, J·ohn.-Sat on an electric battery several years ago and hasn't
stopped jumping yet. Simply IO'!1 es
preparing French author and wOI'kmg
out Geometrical problems.
Lynch, B.-We regret to say has turned
to "Licker" this year.
Dreams of
home and mother during class, but well
able to talk in his sleep all the same.
Always thinks twice before speaking:
Expert at handball, cricket and ludo.
Finds draughts too cold.
Wood, E.-Speed merchant. Trains on
the way to school, and still sprints for
the trains (apologies). Great Richmond
supporter. Often seen in that suburb
even when there is no football on. As
thin as ever.
Keely, K.-Our living illustration of
placidity.
Earthquakes, Clerehans,
smaller boys, missed trams, late
arrivals-nothing disturbs his "Buddhie" equanimity. Under it all a 240 lb.
mental punch. Watch him.
Ryan, F.-Our last court of appeal in
tennis matters. Serves so fiercely that
opponents go on the court clad in
armor.
Knows a good deal about
coaching, too-how and where, for instance.
Callinan. A.-A slender flower in our
garden of celebrities. Gnashes his
teeth at unsuspecting masters, and
when "penalised" spends lunch-hour
"drawing" them on the board. When
accused, always has his alibi ready.
I
48
WHO'S WHO AT ST. PATRICK'S
Got a crick in his neck looking round
at Cahill, and hasn't been able to
straighten it yet.
Curtain, Dave.-One of our recently
extinguished-pardon us-distinguished
past. Stayed here most of the year
to give a TONE to Leaving Honours.
Is now running the Stock Exchange, or
words to· that effect. Has severed his
connections with Heidelberg, they say,
and now graces Middle Park.
Benson, Shan.-Also made a recent exit
from the Leaving Bright Lights. The
fact that he now shows Mr. Clapp
how to run the railways is proof positive that he hasn't run off the tracks;
already pointing out that most accidents happen the other side of Albury.
Those intending to make excursions by
train will receive sympathetic consideration (in strictly alphabetical
order) from Mr. Benson. P.S.-Have
the correct fare ready: absolutely no
free list.
Are there any others? We could fill
the Magazine with them. The Editors,
however, have no funds to meet libel
cases, and positively assert that correspondence on the ' above will remain
unanswered.
IDl1t ,lag
The Play is a regular event in the
school year, but somehow manages to
escape mention in "The Patrician." The
Play comes off on the day "The
Patrician" is distributed, and so is late
for mention in the current issue. The
following number passes it over as belonging to a pr.evious year. These notes
ar e jotted down before the event.
"The Princess and the Swineherd" is
an operetta in which the original is considerably modified by additions and subtractions. There are certain difficulties
attending a production of this kind.
First of all the boys of the higher forms
are excluded on account of the exams.
The middle fOl'ms are excluded for another reason: the boys in those classes
cannot sing, as their voices are breaking
or have recently broken. With the exception of one boy all the thirty-three
performers are drawn from the three
lowest classes. Most of these boys have
fresh
voices
and
can
undertake
choruses. But some of the best actors
among these have to be passed over for
leading parts because they cannot tackle
the solos. That is a difficulty attending
an operetta.
The rehearsals, being in recreation
time, were attended by boys just ready
for fun and not for serious work. Hence
mass rehearsals attended by the twenty
Court Maidens had to be reduced to a
minimum; they involved an unbearable
strain on the director and on the more
earnest members of the troupe. When
the "line up" would be called the Princess
would be found crawling on her hands
and knees behind the piano, or have to
be rescued from the three Court Maidens
sitting on her chest.
Jessamine and
Joanna liked to hide under the two large
table cloths, while others were playing
hide-and-seek behind the stage scenery.
After all, they are only boys of from ten
to twelve years of age.
Speaking in advance, I am wondering
how it will go on the break-up night.
I have both hopes and fears about certain points, but it would be idle to mention them. The Emperor (Tom M.oloney)
is sur.e to please. His voice is delightful,
well balanced, and perfectly distinct. He
is our only actor chosen from a higher
class, and pe has experience of previous
plays. Bors and Marianne will do their
parts well. Kevin McSpeerin as the
Majordomo has an important song and I
exp,e ct him to earn applause.
If he
manages to appear on the stage when
wanted, and if he doesn't forget his cues
he will do very well. Dan Lane and
Ernie McEntyre have worked willingly
at their role of noblemen suitors. Of
the "Eight . Maidens," reduced to Six,
who have special parts to perform, ' Jack
Forehan, who is worthy of a more important role, along with Ronald Cranswick, can be safely marked off for parts
in later productions. Leander and Celestine fill the leading roles and have by far
the greatest difficulties to face.
They
have worked at their difficult parts with
unstinted energy and thoroughly deserve
success. Both are young and inexperienced in stage craft, but both have done
their best. Nothing more can be asked
of any of the troupe. I shall be surprised if their duet with dance does not
bring down the house.
A special word is due to Mr. Dennett.
Nothing cou1d exceed his skill and
patience in handling such raw material.
Miss Mollie Cleary attended four rehearsals, speedily taught the Maidens
the Minuet with which the play opens,
and gave several valuable suggestions.
I am most grateful to 'b oth.

Are there any others? We could fill
the Magazine with them. The Editors,
however, have no funds to meet libel
cases, and positively assert that correspondence on the above will remain

The Play is a regular event in the
school year, but somehow manages to
escape mention in "The Patrician." The
Play comes off on the day "The
Patrician" is distributed, and so is late
for mention in the current issue. The
following number passes it over as belonging to a previous year. These notes
are jotted down before the event.
"The Princess and the Swineherd" is
an operetta in which the original is considerably modified by additions and sub.tractions. There are certain difficulties
attending a production of this kind.
First of all the boys of the higher forms
are excluded on account of the exams.
The middle forms are excluded for another reason: the boys in those classes
cannot sing, as their voices are breaking
or have recently broken. With the exception of one boy all the thirty-three
performers are drawn from the three
lowest classes. Most of these boys have
fresh
voices
and
can
undertake
choruses. But some of the best actors
among these' have to be passed over for
leading parts because they cannot tackle
the solos. That is a difficulty attending
an operetta.
The rehearsals, being in recreation
time, were attended by boys just ready
for fun and not for serious work. Hence
mass rehearsals attended by the twenty
Court ' Maidens had to be reduced to a
minimum; they involved an unbearable
strain on the director and on the more
earnest members of the troupe. When
the "line up" would be called the Princess
would be found crawling on her hands
and knees behind the piano, or have to
be rescued from the three Court Maidens
sitting on her chest.
J .e ssamine and
Joanna liked to hide under the two large
table cloths, while others were playing
hide-and-seek behind the stage scenery.
After all, they are only boys of from ten
to twelve years of age.
Speaking in advance, I am wondering
how it will go on the break-up night.
I have both hopes and fears about certain points, but it would be idle to mention them. The Emperor (Tom Moloney)
is sure to please. His voice is delightful,
well balanced, and perfectly distinct. He
is our only actor chosen from a higher
class, and pe has experience of previous
plays. Bors and Marianne will do their
parts well. Kevin McSpeerin as the
Majordomo has an important song and I
exp.e ct him to earn applause.
If he
manages to appear on the stage when
wanted, and -if he doesn't forget his cues
he will do very well. Dan Lane 'and
Ernie McEntyre have worked willingly
at their role of noblemen suitors. Of
the "Eight .Maidens," reduc.e d to Six,
who have special parts to perform, Jack
Forehan, who is worthy of a more important role, along with Ronald Cranswick, can be safely marked off for parts
in later productions. Leander and Celestine ,fill the leading roles and have by far
the greatest difficulties to face.
They
have worked . at their difficult parts with
unstinted energy and thoroughly deserve
success. Both are young and inexperienced in stage craft, but both have done
their best. Nothing more can be asked
of any of the troupe. I shall be surprised if their duet with dance does not
bring down the house.
A special word is due to Mr. Dennett.
Nothing could exceed his skill and
patienee in handling such raw material.
Miss Mollie Cleary attended four rehearsals, speedily taught the Maidens
the Minuet with which the play opens,
and g::tve several valuable suggestions.
I am most grateful to both.

ST. PATRICK'S SENIOR DEBATING
.
SOCIETY, 1933.
Chairman: Rev. Fr. Rector.
Committee: K. Brennan (Secretary), R.
Moloney and K. Keely.
Members:
S. Benson, J. Brennan, K. Brennan, B.
Brophy, E. Cappi, B. Clerehan, J. Fanning, G. Gillespie, K. Keely, J. Magee,
J. McCaffrey, J. McEncroe, M. McGuinness, K. McPhee, R. Moloney, H.
Murphy, A. Nash, N. Neild, A. Powell,

There was pr,o bably more wisdom
than he dreamt of in the cynical remark
of the Tory Parliamentarian after the
passing of the Second Reform Bill:
"Now we must educate our Masters."
The schoolboy of to-day is the voter
and possibly the Parliamentarian of t.omorrow. He must be educated for his
responsibility-firstl by ·the ac'q uisition
of knowledge, then by the capacity to
use his knowledge rightly, by the ability
to see the standpoint of his opponent,
and by readiness in expressing himself
clea-r ly and accurately. "Reading maketh
the full man," well-informed, but too
often bookish. "Conference maketh the
ready man," skilled in drawing .on the
experiences of the past, . and applying
them to the present; prompt in discerning the flaws in his opponent's arguments, shrewd enough to guard against
weakness in his own. Debating, if it
succeeds in its purpose, should he a large
factor in "educating our Masters."
It can serve still another end, if taken
seriously. How often we hear even
ordinary words "murdered" in pronunciation. Men have seen them in print
but never heard them sounded. In the
modest domestic circle of a debating
room, much can be done to eliminate ' a
defect that too often ruins a speech
otherwise excellent.
The first meeting of the Debating
Society this year was held ,o n Tuesday,
February 21st, for the purpose of electing a committee.
Last year the system of leaders summing up the arguments on both sides
was abandoned for a system of altern-
ate questioning. Prior to the first debate (Friday, March 3rd), Mr. Keely
suggested that members of the audience
be called up,o n to sum up; Mr. Tracey
pr,o posed that the emergencies should do
so. 'The question was defelTed to a later
date.
The first debate of the year then took
place.
Mr. Murphy, supported by
Messrs.
Moloney,
McGuinness
and
Thynne proposed that: "The Press exercises a gre:a ter influence on public
op,i nion than the Pulpit." The motion
was successfully opp,o sed by Mr. McEncroe (leader), and Messrs. Wood, Tracey
and Fahey. The gentlemen below the
gang'Way voted in favour of the Government by a majority of nine to five. The
adjudicator, however, gave the verdict in
favour of the opposition by the comfortable margin of 58 pts. to 45. He also
decided that Mr. E. Wood was the best
speaker of the evening.
In his summing-up the Rev. Chairman
spoke of the necessity of pronouncing
words correctly.
The next meeting was held on Thursday, March 16th. Prior to the debate
several rules, were decided on:1. All members, whether speaking or
not must attend every meeting.
2. A fine of sixpence will be imposed
on those who, without a legitimate
explanation, fail to attend. Fines
will go to the funds of the Senior
Boys' Library.
3. Failure to pay a fine within one
week of its imposition will result
in expulsion from the society.
4. A member who is unable to attend
a meeting must satisfy one member
of the committee at least a day in
advance.
5. The two emergencies at each debate
will speak at the next meeting unless called on as emergencies, in
which case the absent speaker will
take part in the next debate.
6. Any member who is chosen to speak
and is unable to do so, must bring
a written excuse to the secretary
at least three days in advance.
On this night, Mr. Keely, supported by
Messrs. Gillespie, Benson and McPhee,
proposed that "Women should enter
public life." The motion was opposed by
50
DEBATES
Messrs. K. Brennan (leader), Tuohy,
Powell and Cappi, who were defeated
by 8 p.oints. Though the opposition lost
the debate they had the slight consolation of knowing that the gentlemen below the gangway had voted in their
favour by a majority of one. The adjudicator decided that Mr. Benson's
speech was the best of the evening, its
salient features being its relevancy and
continuity of argument. He also emphasised the necessity of a strong, vigorous
ending rather than letting speeches
peter out in vague unconvincing generalities.
On March 24th, the society held an
Impromptu Speech Night. The subjects
chosen this evening were varied and
showed considerable ingenuity in dealing
with difficult situations.
Mr. John
McCaffrey should never more have any
difficulty in thanking his friends at the
wedding breakfast! Mr. Rex Moloney
faces with equanimity the eager crowd
after he has stroked the winning crew
at the Head of ,River race. Mr. Thynne
gave a convincing imita tion of a bushman speaking in favour of prohibition.
Mr. Tracey threw some light on the
trials of a modern policeman.
On April 7th Mr. Curtain supported
by Messrs. Magee, McCaffrey and Neild,
p.roposed that "Motion pictures are detrimenta,l to morals." The motion was opposed by Mr. F. Ryan (leader), and
Messrs. J. Brennan, Wallace, and Fanning. The debate resulted by a margin
of 5 points in a victory for the affirmative. For the first time this year, the
gathering below the gangway agreed
with the chairman's verdict. There was
complete unanimity also on the fact of
Mr. Noel Neild's speech being the best ,o f
the evening. Equal points were awarded
to Mr. Neild and Mr. James Fanning,
and those who spoke for the first time
were congratulated on their splendid
performance.
The motion on April 21st was that
"Government control of transport is
better for a nation than private control."
Messrs. Fahey, Forehan, Clerehan and
L'Estrange sup,ported the motion and
were opposed by Messrs. Tracey, Keane,
Brophy and Powell. The p,oints~9-54were in favour of the Government. Mr.
Clerehan rather electrified his audience
by his carefully worded and systematic
arguments and was almost unanimously
voted the best speaker in the debate.
It was decided that an "Oration Night"
should be held on JUly 7th. The attendance was not up to expectations, but Mr.
Magee was voted best speaker of the
evening.
"The White Australia, policy is right
and expedient" was the motion proposed
(July 21st) by Mr. Cappi, with the suppor t of Messrs. Keely, M.oloney and Benson. The opposition consisted of Messrs.
McPhee (leader), Wood, Gillespie and
Tuohy. Gentlemen below the gangway
voted in favour of the opposition by 10
votes to 6. The chairman, however,
gave th~ verdict as a draw-53 points all.
As regards the best speaker, an equal
number of points were awarded to
Messrs. Wood and Moloney.
The last debate of the second term was
held on Friday, August 11th.
Mr~
Murphy proposed that "Freedom of the
Press is beneficial to a nation." ,A bly
supported by Messrs. McEncroe, Magee
and Powell, .he succeeded in winning the
dehate, against Messrs. Brennan (K.),
Tracey, Neild and McCaffrey. The debate
was keen and the margin of victory but
2 points (46-44). Mr. Brophy (affirmative) was absent and Mr. Powell volunteered to speak impromptu in his
place. The debate was decided on the
three best speeches on each side, and the
leaders' summing-up. Mr. Murphy was
unanimously voted best speaker of the
evening.

In the realm of sport we have very
little to complain of this year.
Our
cricket fixtures were not very numerouS, but we had far more football
matches than usual. The tennis team
also had several matches with other
schools, and proved that they are a ;force
to be reckoned with. Handball, as will
be seen by the following notes, was more
popular than ever, the annual competition drawing a record number of entries.
The athletic team showed a
marked improvement on previous years,
and with careful and early selection of
junior member!? especially, should be
hard to beat in 1934. We have some
splendid material which should be developed.
We are fortunate in having
excellent coaches in this branch of sport,
and full advantag.e should be taken of
the training facilities available.
CRICKET.
Committee: D. Caven
McCaffrey, E. Wood.

First Eleven.
The first match of the year was played
at St. James' Oval against Swinburne
Technical College on February 15th. St.
Patrick's, led by K. Brosnan (who was
having his last match prior to leaving
for Xavier), won by 4 wickets and 19
runs. The best scores on our side were
made by E. Wood (29), K. Brosnan (20
n.o.), J. Leonard (16), and D. Caven
(16). Gaven secured 3 wickets for 24,
C. Hesse 2 for 16.
On February 18~h we played a "Time
Match" with Xavier (under 16). The
scores were:-Xavier, 130 for 7 wickets;
St. Patrick's, 83 f01'l 7 wickets (D. Power
22, J. Leonard 17, J. McCaffrey 17 n.o.,
B. Caven 10).
On March 17th we played St. Kevin's
and after a good game (at Old Scotch)
we won by 24 runs. E. Wood and Dave
Curtain batted well for St. Patrick's
making 28 and 26 respectively. D. Cave~
(16) and J. Godsell (9) were the next
best. ,scores.
St. Patrick's, 100; St.
K~vm s, 76. We played a return match
WIth the same team on April 13th.
J. Leonard and D. Caven opened and
knocked up 107 runs before they were
separated. Caven was then out for 73.
Leonard got to 53 before he was dismissed. E. Wood (15), C. Hesse (13),
and D. Power (13) were the other double
figures. St. Patrick's innings ended with
the score at 18l.
St. Kevin's replied
with 62. This collapse was due mainly
to the bowling of D. Power, who worried every batsman, and secured 7
wickets for 33. J. Godsell behind the
wickets did very well in stumping four
batsmen. He is a decided addition to
the team.
Junior Teams.
February 18th. St. Patrick's (under
14) v. Burke HaJ! (under 13). St.
Patrick's had first use of the wicket, but
the scoring was slow, mainly owing to
the excellent bowling of Schrade.!:., wh0
kept a perfect length. B. Lynch then
got going, and had a well-made 27 to
his credit before he was bowled.
F.
Vigano (45) and J. Hennessy (25 n.o.)
brought the score up.
Being a time
match, we had to retire when our score
was 140 for 6 wickets.
Burke Hall
batted briskly from the start, and were
all out for 180 (one retired). J. Pilbeam
for S.P.C. did very well as wicketkeeper.
February 25th. St. Patrick's (under
13) v. Burke Hall (under 12).
The
scores were:-St. Patrick's, 102 (Lane
41, L. O'Brien 19); Burke Hall, 71.
Kirwan took 4 wickets, Mulquiney 3 and
B. Lynch 1. R. Jones fielded remarkably
well, and A. Mulquiney brought off a
brilliant catch in the slips.
TENNIS.
The tennis court was in constant llse
during the first and third Terms this
year. We have a considerable number
of very promising junior players, and
the senior team-F. Ryan (capt.), R.
Bull, J. Ryan and A. Vigano-are quite
above ordinary standard. Weare glad
to be able to record some matches played
this year against other schools, and hope
that this game, so universally popular
nowadays, is going to take an important
place in the school's activities.
On Saturday, March 18th, a tennis
team consisting of K. Keely (capt.), R.
Bull, F. Ryan and J. Ryan pl~yed a
series of games at De La Salle College.

GAMES
Despite the fact that our team was considerably weakened by the absence of
A. Vigano, we won comfortably.

F. Regan and J. Ryan d. Evans
Wells, 6-2.
and
and
and
and
Singles.
R. Bull v. O'Kane proved an interesting game. O'Kane was leading, 5-2,
but Bull, recovering, took the next four
games , and lead 6-5. O'Kane equalised, but Bull won the next two games
and the set, 8-6.
J. Ryan easily defeated W~lls, 6-2.
We played a series of matches with
Xavier on August 12th.
A. Vigano (St. Patrick's) v. Jones
(X.C.). Vigano had a har d struggle in
this game and his opponent had reached
nine games before he ' was overhauled.
Vigano won, the score being 14-12 in
his favour.
F. Ryan (S.P.C.) v. K. Mortensen
(X.C.) .
Mortensen led, 4-0, before
Ryan found his feet. Owing to a succession of umpires there was misunderstanding about the scores. However,
Mortensen took the last game to 40 from
Ryan's service and won, 10'-8.
J. Ryan (S.P.C.) v. Sheezel (X.C.),
who won easily, 10-2.
R. Bull (S.P.C.) v. Kiernan (X.C.).
Bull played very solid tennis and won,
10-4.
F.Ryan and J. Ryan (S.P.C.) v.
Kiernan and Sheezel (X.C.). This was
an evenly contested game, which St.
Patrick's won, 10-8.
A. Vigano and R. Bull (S.P.C.) v.
Jones and Mortensen (X.C.). Xavier
turned the tables here and won rather
easily, 10-5.
A. Vigano and ,F. Ryan lost the final
doubles at the close of the day, 11-9.
Xavier: 65 games, 4 rubbers.
S.P.C. : 57 games, 3 rubbers.
R. Bull (S.P.C.) v. Sheezel (X.C.).
This was one of the best games of the
day. Bull brought the scores level (10
all) by splendid placing. Sheezel took
the next two games and won, 12-10.
F. Ryan and J. Ryan maintained
their early lead throughout the next
doubles ' and won, 10 games to 7. ~·
A. Via-ano (S.P.C.) v. B. Jones (X.C.).
J ones was much superior at the, net and
though Vigano secured 7 games, his opponent forged ahead and won, 10-7.
J. ' Ryan and R. Bull (S.P.C.) v.
O'Hara and Sheezel (X.C.). This was
very closely contested, but Xavier won,
12. 10.
F. Ryan (S.P.C.) v. K. Mortensen
(X.C.). This match ,was the longest of
the day, each player taking the lead in
turn until the games were 1j) all. Mortensen
finally won after a hard
struggle, 177-15.
On the day's play, therefore, Xavier
won the series.
FOOTBALL.
Senior Teams.
Shortly ' after Easter we opened our
Football season with a match against
Xayier, who fielded what was more or.
less a second xviii. It was evident from
the start of ' the game that Xavier were
far too strong for our inexperienced s~de.
We lost by a considerable margin,
though we did well considering we were
not at full strength.
Dave Curtain at half-back did good
work all through the game, and · others
outstanding in a weak c<?mbination were
E. Wood, J. Godsell, J.McCaifrey, B. and
D. Caven.
On May 7th our First xviii. played
Xavier (under 16). This time we were
the heavier side and had mostly . the
better of the game, as the ,scores indicate:St. Patrick's, 6.21-51 pts.
Xavier, 5.6-36 pts.
We were best served by J. McCaffrey,
D. Curtain, D. and B. Caven, J. Godsell,
K. Brennan and E. Wood.
H.M.
We met St. Kevin's (2nd xviii.) on the
old Scotch ground on May .12th;
As
several of our First team had gone to
Geelong for the Boat-race, we had to fill'
many vacant pJaces as best we could..
In the first half our team more than
held their opponents, but later on ' in the'
game St. Kevin's went away from us
and won by a substantialmargain·. The
scores were:St. Kevin'S, 10.12; St. Patrick'~,5.11.
D . . Caven was again our outstanding
player, and was . ably assisted by N.
Neild, C. Forehan, J. Magee, M. Tuohy
and B. Caven.
On June 23rd our 1st xviii. .met a

GAMES
ground. Owing to the strong defence of
both teams the first quarter ended without a score. At half-time the scores were:
St. Patrick's, 2.1; St. Kevin's, 1.2. The
third quarter brought some good fast
play, and at the bell St. Kevin's were
one point ahead. The last quarter was
5trenuously fought out, and the issue
was in doubt up to the last moment,
when the scores were:St. Kevin's, 3 goals 4 behinds.
St. Patrick's, 3 g oals 3 behinds.
Goal-kickers for St. Patricks: J. Godsell, B. Caven and B. Thynne.
D. Caven (capt.) played a fine game
throug·hout. He and Camm (St. Kevin's)
were the best men on the field. Others
who distinguished themsel ves were J.
Godsell, D. Curtain, N. Neild, J. Fahey,
H . Murphy and K. Keaney.
St. Patrick's : 1st xviii. v. Assumption
College (2nd xviii.).
On July 1st the majority of the 1st
xviii. together
with
some
juniors
t ravelled to Kilmore and played Assumption College (ii.). The first quarter saw very even play, but after that
our team forged ahead and won comfOl'ta bly, the scores being:St. Patrick's, 12.10; A.C.K., 5.6,.
Our outstanding players were D. Caven
and J. Godsell, who, between them,
kicked nearly all our goals. D. Curtain,
M. 'I:uohy and J. McCaffrey were also
prominent. E. Wood in the back division
was very effective.
We met a team from Newman College
at the old Scotch Oval, on July 7th. The
Newman side included several members
ot their first xviii., so that we hardly
expected to win-nor did we. In the
fi rst half our opponents, owing to their
superior height and weight, dominated
the play and scored 8.8 to our 2.2.
After half-time, however, St. Patrick's
altered some of their positions, and
evened up the scores considerably. The
final scores were:Newman, 11 goals 14 behinds-80 pts.
St. Patricks, 8 goals 8 behinds-56 pts.
Goal-kickers: B. Caven (3), J. Godsell
(2), K. Keaney (2), B. Thynne (1).
P.G.
july 6th saw us at Xavier to meet a
team from the Newman Society, which
included several of OUI' Old Boys. The
College team put up a very creditable
performance, although much inferior in
weight. Towards three-quarter time, E.
53
Wood (capt.) opened out the play and
we rapidly overhauled our opponents'
score. However, similar tactics on the
other side proved our undoing, and although the play was vigorous right to
the end, N.S. finishing with a substantial
lead.
Newman Society, 14.8, 102 pts.
St. Patrick's, 8.2. 50 pts.
We were unf ortunately without the
services of our regular captain, D.
Gaven. D. M.orris played particularly
well in this game.
P.G.
The 1st XVIII met the Hawthom
Boys' Sodality at Xavier on july 23rd.
Hawthom set the pace from the beginning and had scored two goals before
our team found their feet. Good work
however by the Caven bl'others and by
E. Wood and J. McCaffney soon brought
us level. By the end of the first half,
goals by D. and B. Caven, Cosgrove,
Murphy and Wallace gave us a substantial lead. Hawthorn came again and
the end of the third quarter saw the
scores level. It was in the last quarter
that St. Patrick's showed their true
form. A rather lucky goal off the ground
and additional scores by Caven (D.) and
McCaffney gave us a winning lead, which
we held to the bell. Final Scores:
St. Patricks, 11.9, 75 pt.s
Hawthorn, 7.10, 52 pts.
Goal-kickers: D. Caven (3), B. Caven
(2,), McCaffrey (2), W,a llace, Cosgrove,
Murphy and Wood (1).
P.G.
July 29th-St. Patrick's v. St. Kevin's
II. Played on St. Kevin's Oval. Neither
team was at full strength and owing to
recent heavy rain the ground wa s in bad
condition. St. Patrick's held their own
in the first quarter, but after t hat St.
Kevin's went ahead and won l'ather
easily.
Final Scores:
St. Kevin'S , 4.14, 38 pts.
St. Patrick's, 1.12. 18 pt~.
Our best players were Cappi, K . Brennan, N. Neild, J. Godsell and B. Caven.
D.C.
The 2nd XVIII played Xavie'r (under
15) on July 31st. As our team had rarely
played together before to-day the combination left something to be desired. In
fact many of the team gave the impression of being more or less interested onlookers. Xavier fielded a much heavier
side than ours and no one was surprised
when at the fin al bell the scores stood:
Xavier, 12.7, 79 1>ts.
St. Patrick's II, 2.7, 19 pts.

GAMES
Ryan, Magee, Kelly, Cassidy and
O'Brien did excellent work for us, but
they could not pJay a whole team iby
themselvei.
C. FOREHAN.
A return match with the Hawthorn
Boy s' Sodality was played at Xavier on
August 8th, and our team was again successful. Mr. Delaney, the coach, gave
some useful advice, which being put into
practice left us with a lead of five goals
at half-time. This was reduced to three
at the end of the third quarter, Hawthorn
putting in some very vigorous play. They
weakened, however, in the last quarter
and ~e r an out winners by a co;mfortable
margrn. Scores:
St. Patrick's, 13.9, 87 pts.
Hawthorn, 6.5, 41 pts.
The best players-for St. Patrick's were
E. Wood, J. McCaffney, J. Godsell, B.
Caven and E. Cappi.

H.M.
August 15th being a whole holiday, the
majority of the 1st XVIII travelled to
Ballarat for a game with the Christian
Hrot4el's' College.
Our team had much the better of
the play in the first quarter and should
have had a comfortable if not a winning
lea~ ~t the first bell. But missed opportumtIes left us but a few points in front.
In the second quarter Ballarat gradually
wore us down and got a lead of 10 pts.
Our hacks made a poor showing and
Ballarat were 7 points ahead at the last
change. In the last quarter, despite
herOIC defence by E. Wood and McCaffr~y, B:nd enthusiastic barracking l5y M.
McGumness, our lack of condition told
and Ballarat won com:t;ortably. Scores;
St. Patrick's (Ballarat), 7.16, 58 pts.
St. Patrick's (Melbourne), 4.12, 36 pts.
Our best players were: E. Wood,
McCaffrey, Murphy, and the Caven
brothers. Goal-kickers: D. Caven (2),
Gillespie (1), J. Godsell (1).
G. DELANgy (Coach).
Although defeated the College team
had a most enjoyable day and greatly
appreciated the hospitality o~ the
brothers.
On Saturday, August 26th, St. Patrick's (1st XVII.!) played St. Kevin's II
on the ground of the latter school. The
conditions were excellent, but neither
team took things over seriously. The result was a very enjoya:hle game, which
ended in our favour by a margin of
about 7 points.
JUNIOR TEAMS.
On May 7th, St. Patrick's (under 15)
played Xavier (under 14). It was a good
even match all though. Terry O'Brien
was regarded as the best player on the
ground. K. L'Estrange, N. Wallace, J.
Ryan, J. Crohan, G. O'Toole and L.
Connors also rendered good ser vice.
There was little difference in the scores.
In fact on goal-umpire gave the vict ory
to St. Patrick's and the other to Xavier.
Another unsolved mystery to go down to
posterity! But the game was what mattered, and it was a good one.
The under 13 team played a Burke
Hall XVIII on July 22nd. i t was a very
close game, as the final scores indicate.
J-. F orehan (capt.) was about the best
worker for our team. Ot her s who were
conspicuous at times were R. Galbal1y,
A. Hart, L. Meaney, E. McIntyr e, J'.
Brady and J. Pilbeam. One piece of
clearing work by the last -named was
worthy of the senior team. Scores:
St. Patrick's, 16.17, 113 pts.
Burke Hall, 15.18, 108 pts.
Goal-kickers: Meaney (5), Dennis (3) ,
Hart (2), McIntyre (2.), Brady (1), B.
Bourke (1), L. Moran (1).
July 31st-St. Patrick's (under 14) v.
Burke Hall I; played on X avier Oval
(No. III). Burke Hall fielded a wellcombined team ~nd soon showed their
superiority. The ground was very soft.
McIntyre and Mulqueeny were conspricuous for hard play on our side, but bad
kicking on the part of most of the others
rendered their efforts of no avail. The
last quarter saw Burke Hall add considerably to their score. It was a case o:ll
a team playing well together against
what looked like a very scratch , side.
Final scores:
Burke Hall, 17.6, 108 pts.
St. Patrick's, 4.12, 36 pts.
The under 12 team played Burke Hall
(under 11) on August 5th. Burke Hall
got well away from us in the first half
and we never caught up, though we held
them well after the change over.
E.
McIntyre played a spleJldid game for our
team, but, if we except A. Hart, K.
Fahey and K. M.cEncr oe (full back), he
got little support. Scores:
Burke Hall, 14.19, 103 ph.
'S t. Patrick's, 7.14, 56 pts.
On August 19th, St. Patrick's (under
15) played Xavier (under 14). As our
1st team had no fixture we were able to
field more or less our real under 15 side.
The game was fast and evenly contested
for the most part. ' In the final quarter

we put on extra pressure and ran out
easy winners. Scores:
St. Patrick's (uder 15), 19.17, 131 pts.
Xavier (under 14), 13,12, 90 pts.
Our best players were: C. Hesse, B.

(5), Connors (3), GalbaUy (2), Crohan,
Hesse and Cassidy (1).
P .G.
A Junior team played Parade (under
15) on August 25th. Our team, as
originally selected, was no match for
their heavier opponents. The coach (Mr.
C. Delaney) consequently strengt hened
our side by the addition of a few stalwarts. We then held our own pretty
well, but it was too late to make up the
arrears and Parade won easily by several
goals.
HANDBALL.
It is doubtful if! the handball courts
have ever been so popular as they have
proved this year. All sections of the
house are playing the game now and as
we have only two courts, many juniors
do the best they can with the end of the
building.
The Annual Handball Competition began early in the second term, and was
concluded about the middle of July. The
number of entries received was most
gratifying, well over a hundred competing.
Dave Curtain was generally regarded as certain to win the Senior
singles, and coupled with Keith Brennan
seemed pretty sure of the doubles as
well. - As he left school early in the term
to take up a position in the city, the
competition ;b ecame more open and there
were some very close games.
Noel Neild won the final of the Senior
singles rather decisively from J. Godsell.
The doubles were won by J. H. Leonard
and E. Cappi. The long reach of the
latter was very useful, if disconcerting
to his opponents. Jack Ryan secured the
under 15 singles. He is a very forceful
player and should be difficult to stop in
the Senior section next year. Playing
with M. Moloney he was the main factor
in winning the doubles also in this grade.
Desmond Prentice had a narrow victory
over B. Lynch in the final of the under
13 singles.
Both these players show
great promise and have a good knowledge of the finer points of the game.
The under 13 doubles were won by B.
Lynch and L. Brophy after some exciting
games.
The players of all sections are to be
congratulated on the prompt way in
which they got through their games as
soon as posted. It >helped the competition
55
8 speedy finish and kept the interest
sustained.

COMBINED SPORTS MEETING.
The 31st annual combined sports meeting' of the Associated Catholic Secondary
Schools of Victoria took place on the
M.elbourne Clicket Ground on Wednesday, October 25th. We had representatives in every event of a very lengthy
programme, and consiciering our limited
opportunities for training, we have every
reason to be satisfied with their performan ces. They were runners-up for
Senior Cup and secured fourth place in
the aggregate points, which, i~ a field ~f
nine schools, was a very credItable POSltion. Had our J uniOI< boys trained with
the same enthusiasm as the Seniors, we
might very easily have been at the head
of the list.
Jack McCaffrey secured the "P. F.
Logue" Honour Cup as the individual
champion athlete of the day. The 531
points scored by our representatives
were made up from the following places:
J. Godsell: 1st place in the Open 880
Yards; 2nd place in the Open 440
Yards.
J. McCaffrey: 1st place in the Open
120 Yards Hurdles; Tied for 1st
place in the Open H,igh Jump; Tied
for 3rd place in the Open Broad
Jump.
G. Gillespie: 3rd place in the Open
100 Yards; 4th place in the Open
220 Yards.
K. Brennan: 3rd place in the Open
Mile.
C. Hesse: 1st place in the Under 16
High Jump.
B. Caven: Tied for 3rd place in the
Under 16 100 Yards.
G. Gillespie, J. Godsell, J. McCaffrey,
E. Wood: Secured 2nd plaoe in the
400 Yards Shuttle Relay Race.
The Senior Championship was won by
St. Patrick's College, Ballarat, and the
Junior by D.L.S. College, Malvern.
ANNUAL ATHLE'DIC SPORTS.
Unlike last year, we had no complaints
to make about the weather when the
56th annual sports meeting was held at
the Richmond Cricket Ground on October
27th. A light breeze tempered what
might otherwise have been an unpleasantly warm afternoon, and all the events
were run off well on time. Messrs G.
Delaney and W. Albress, the coaches,
who did so much towards our success in
The Combined Sports, were on the
ground all the afternoon and thanks to
GAMES
56
them, Mr. W. Moloney (referee), Mr.
G. E. Brown, and the boys officiating at
the results' board, everything went without a hitch. We were glad to see so
many Old Boys present, notably Mr. R.
P. Clerehan, the president of the Association and several of the committee;
Some of our ibest runners had not recovered from the strain of the combined
meeting two days before, and could not
give us their very best, but perhaps it
was just as well, for it enabled some of
the promising " minor lights" to show us
what they could do.

[Being threatened with six libel-actions last Chr istmas on account of this
section, the Editors left Melbourne for a month. When they came back it had "blown
over." We have again received some communications published below-but have not
yet arranged for our holiday!-Ed.]
I.
Dear Mr. Editor,-As one who has
been brought up in refined surroundings
I should like to lodge a complaint against
the despicable conduct of a local resident well known to us all.
He invited
several boys of this College to a party
and promised to be under the clocks at
a given hour. Twenty-seven boys and a
master were left standing in their eyening clothes under the said clocks from
7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on a Saturday night.
Is this to be tolerated ?-Yours, etc.,
NO.9.
[Our usual sleuths ran this to earth.
We fear we can do nothing. The citizen
in question simply said he hoped the
boys enjoyed their party under the
clocks and that the evening clothes were
their own. He was too busy to attend
himself.-E'd. ]
II.
Sir,-If one of the Intermediate boys
does not stop his third degree methods
with regard to aJ cert.a in friend of one of
the Prefects, I am {"reatly afraid there
will be murder in the first degree.Yours, etc.,
SECOND DEGREE.
[From the general atmosphere of the
letter, we have no doubt that this regrettable habit will be cured by degrees . .
We have an official peace-maker on our
staff who is a "tiger" for work. If he
doesn't cure, he kills. Watch him work.
-Ed.]
III.
Sir,-Can we never be rid of pests?
One of our day-patrol informs us that
Fred Brown and Bill Manwaring have
been visiting the Home across the road
and have been throwing their weight
about (roughly 11 stone each) among
t}le babies. Can you suggest a remedy
for such microscopic horrors in our
midst? They may start nearer home
loon.-Y ouri, etc.,
,ANTI-PEST.
[We were under the impression that
the bars behind which Gram 1.A operate
were sufficientlv close to prevent them
wandering. Our correspondent need not
worry; we have ordered a length of
chicken wire. All will be well.-Ed.]
IV.
Dear Mr. Editor,-While strolling on
the beach at Brighton I witnessed a great
display of bravery. As the stormy waves
swept to and fro a young couple, no
doubt overcome by the ozone blowing in
from the ocean, fell into the treacherous
waters.
Fully clothed, a youth of 16
years or thereabouts plunged in and
saved them from an unpleasant death.
I have discovered his identity, and wish
to thank J. McEn-e for his "nice"
action.-Yours, etc.,
EBB-TIDE.
[There is more in this than meets the
eye. We shall supply "Ebb-Tide's" address to interested enquirers.-Ed.]
V.
Sir,-As a well-wisher of the College
I feel it my duty to bring to the notice
of your readers the zeal of two members
of our athletic team. Mes srs. Wood and
McCaffrey, both fiends for work, go
without lunch in order to have a run.
Their daily objective is to be down town
by 12.40 p.m. I feel sure this enthusiasm will be appreciated.-Yours, etc.,
"COLLINS STREET."
[For some time already, we have had
posted one of our observers on the
Swanston Street corner. He is keeping
a diary. There will be awful revelations
in our next issue.-Ed.]
VI.
Dear Ed.,-I appreciated the publicity
you gave last year to the Xmas concert
in the Fitzroy Gardens by Signor Bolger
and Maestro Purcelli. It was unfortunate that the police mistook Signor
Bol~r'B B flat for the start of a riot
68
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
and that the concert ended before it
began, so to speak. Professor O'Ryli is
sa;fely back at Coburg, and Primo Conroski has changed his tune to "What are
the wild waves saying," which he sings
each evening in summ.er on the Mordialloc pier (or what he calls the pier).
This year arrangements are on foot
to hold a Russian Ballet at Prince's
Hill, on the lawns of No. 914. Hugoff
Murfski, the quick-change artist, will
give his full range of historical cackles.
They are unique though plural.
J ozef
Godzellskintight will do a quick-time
round the lawn to the accompaniment of
Serge Bazeel MacPhee, who got ba~!t to
Scotland and changed his name when the
trouble started. At the interval Colonel
T}lynnskin will impersonate various
jungle animals, with special emphasis
on the tiger. A beautiful ballet is being
arranged by Miss McGuinness and includes such high-steppers as ,Alphabeta
Powill, Pamela Traysi, Johanna Macrowski and Juanita Ffahi-the last mentioned complete with necklet of foreign
coins collected from subscribers to his
("her") library.
No change at the tUl'nstile. Children
in arms will be bitten by the dog. Wishing you the same.
.
THE MANAGEMENT.
[This letter speaks for its.elf. These
well-known artists need no introduction.
We publish the letter but accept no responsibility.-Ed.]
VII.
Dear Sir ,-I suppose you know that
a new floor has been laid down in the
Leaving Class-room. With the departur,e of the age-old tiles, the dignity of
the class is being jeopardised.
Every
lunch-hour the monastic silence of this
room is rudely shattered by the cries of
Mon~ieur McPhee, who holds a dancing
class. The ungainly shuffling across the
floor and the hoarse epithets bandied to
and fro in their dancing frenz y! by Brofe
and J aytee Brennan greatly hinder conscientious study.
Something must be
done.-Yours, etc.,
HARASSED.
[We have collected the old tiles and
Bupplied them to "Harassed." We suggest that he could use them with effect
during that lunch-hour. One "application" would remove the causes of complaint.-Ed.]
VIII.
Dere Sir,-I fink the prefects are O.K.
this yeer. Not only do they do there
werk but are a fine eggsample to us.
They never go down town untydy, but
always do there hare. Some of them go
down town at lunch time. I spose they
do it to see that nun of the other boys
do ennythink rong. I saw wun of them
yesterday. When he saw me - he sed
ere you, opoff! Opoff is not my name,
so wot did he meen?
ENERY.
[We invite solutions to the above.
They will be published in strict notation.
-Ed.]

Irrtnr's Irpnrt
Right Rev. Monsignor, Rev. Fathers, Ladies and Gentleman,On the eve of the Centenary of Victoria two thoughts seem fi tting for the
Speech Night of a Catholic School-(a) Our debt to our Catholic Pioneer s ; (b) Our
loyalty to their spirit.
(a) THE PIONEERS.
The Centenary is in itself a just reminder of what we owe t o those brave men
and women of a past generation. The material resources with which they started
were of the scantiest as a rule. Secular learning they had few if any chances of
acquiring in the schools and universities of their day. But they had-and they knew
they had-a priceless treasure in the Faith of their Fathers.
This strong and deep
faith it was that enabled them to face h ards hips untold in building up Catholic
Homes and Catholic Churches in the land of their adoption. How they handed on
their spirit to their children, and their children's children, it is fortunately not left
for me to describe for you. The genius of Father Hartigan-worthy son of the
Pioneers-has saved much from oblivion, in verses that strike responsive chords in
Catholic hearts whether gathered "Round the Boree Log" or its poor substitute-a
Radiator.
Their native love of learning, a legacy from the past, saw to it that t he school
should follow the Church. Thus it is we can look round to-day and see Catholic
Churches and schools in town and country.
There was a time when our rulers were far-seeing enough to see that Religion
was- an essential part of education for citizenship; when sites and building grants
were provided by wise Governments for denominational schools. It was with such
aid that our Public Schools' System began: Scotch College leading the way, and our
own St. Patrick's following soon atter, in 1855. Looking back, we can only regret that
this wise policy in primary and secondary education-which is giving such satisfaction in England, Ireland, Scotland and many other countries-should have been displaced by a secular system which we ·c annot accept.
But it is a tribute to our Catholic forefathers that they valued "the things that
r eally matter in education." Hence, under the guidance of their Bishops and Priests,
they went on to build schools of their own from their limited means; and felt
honoured when their own sons and daughters were called as priests or religious to
carryon the work of Catholic education. The present is a fitting time to recall and
to appreciate the work of the past, and to pay the la rge tribute of g r atitude we owe.
It would be ungracious of us to for get . Gratitude that is hearty and timely ennobles
the world we live in.
(b) OUR LOYALTY TO THE SPIRIT OF THE PIONEERS.
_ St. Patrick's College has a very special reason for g ratitude and loyalty to the
spirit of the Pioneers.
As the oldest Catholic secondary school in Victoria,
now nearly eighty years old, it has its roots in the past. That we have shown that
loyalty it would perhaps be pr~umption on our part to affirm. We venture to state
that we have honestly been endeavouring to do so.
As far as numbers go we can only say that they are quite up to our present
limited accommodation~ our average attendance during the year being about 220the hi¥hest that haa been housed in this school.
64
RECTOR'S REPORT.
With these limited numbers our work as tested by Public Examination standards
has been satisfactory. Last year ther.e were 21 places on the Class Lists, 19 complete passes, and 17 partial passes in thel Leaving Examinations; and in the Intermediate there were 24 complete passes and three partial passes. One Newman
Scholarship was won. When we come to the things that are not measured by examination standards we find amongst our boys a solid spirit of piety, which has expressed itself, or is preparing to express itself, in vocations to the priesthood and to
religious life. It is consoling also to be able to state that the happy family spirit
of trust and confidence between masters and boys has, if possible, been increasing
amongst us; and that the conduct of the boys has been all round highly satisfactory. It is perhaps not safe for school authorities to be too positive on this point:
outsiders see more than we do. I can safely add that any testimonies from outside
that have come to our hearing have been to the credit of the boys and of the school
Prefects. The Prefects have done much to keep up in the school that healthy and
homely "tone" which we prize so much. Let us take this opportunity to thank the
Prefects for their good work, and the boys for their co-operation.
As this Report has to go to press some days in advance, I cannot speak of the
success of the efforts of Fr. Boylan; and his youthful actors to entertain you. I do know
that both he and they have worked hard and unselfishly to do honour to the occasion,
and to uphold the tradition of St. Patrick's. You must judge to-night of the rest.
There remains the pleasing duty of thanking the Old Boys' Association for loyal
co-operation during the year in many fields. Their activities are so many that I
dare not enumerate them. I can only heartily commend them, while I welcome their
latest effort-a Dramatic Society-and wish it success. Everywhere they have upheld
the good name of the school. For that I thank them, and especially their energ.e tic
President and Hon. Secretary.
To the parents, and to the friends of the College also who have helped to make
our functions during the year a success, our best thanks.
We must not omit a special word of thanks to the orchestra of the ,A cademy,
Nicholson Street. We appreciate the sacrifice they make in coming to our help.
I invite the loyal co-operation of parents with the school in the year before us,
while I thank them for what they have done in' the past.
I "nIl end, where· perhaps I should have begun, with a hearty welcome to Mon!Signor Lonergan. We know and value his keen interest in us at all times. We
feel honoured in his coming amongst us to distribute the prizes in his old school.
