ANNUAL
REPORT,
1974
It is with pleasure that I welcome to Parade this
evening, His Grace Archbishop
Little, on the first
occasion that he has had since his election, to attend
a College function. It is remarkable that the nomination of Archbishop Little to the Sec of Melbourne has
been universally welcomed and many sections of the
community
have granted
him as warm
a welcome
a(j
the Catholic people did. On your behalf, 1 wish him
a happy and blessed period as Archbishop and hope
that he will be able to join us on many occasions in the
life of the College.
I welcome also the Provincial of St. Patrick's Province, Br. P. C. Naughtin, a former Headmaster
of
Parade and of St. Kevin's College. Brother Naughtin
is bound by his ollice to consider the needs of all the
schools of Victoria and Tasmania, but we feel at Parade
that he has preserved a very high regard for this school
and is deeply concerned about its welfare, and I would
like to thank him for his never-failing
interest and
generous help in terms of his own time and energy.
Parade,
Bundoora.
owes an immense debt to two
men Brother Nash who planned it, and Brother
Greening who was the first Headmaster and who guided
the first years of Parade on its new site at Bundoora.
Br. Greening is himself endowed with a remarkable
personality, outstanding for his geniality and friend.
liness and for his gift of welding together all sections
of the school into a very warm and friendly community.
It is not in his nature to be harsh in discipline and yet
the high standards of the school show his assurance in
planning and his dedication to teaching. All who have
been connected with the College during the last six
years will join with me in acknowledging the tremendous job which he accomplished here and in paying
tribute to his efforts with a very sincerc thank you. I
congratulate him on his recent appointment as Headmaster of St. Patrick's College, Strathfield.
1974 has been a trial year for the new system of
Cnmmonwealth grants-in-aid. We have seen the Karmel
Commission emerge into the Schools Commission and
the establishment in each state of a Priorities Committee
for determining building grants; there arc also other
committees to look after in-service schemes, innovation
programmes,
etc. One of the problems which has
emerged in the new arrangements
concerns the future
of the Libraries' Committee, founded by the Liberal
Government; this committee has seen most of its direct
work accomplished,
and what remains is simply the
paying-off of buildings already erected.
It is probable, that future library grants will be made
through the Priorities Committee; however, knowledge
of procedures for the future will be available after the
submission of the report of the Schools Commission to
the Australian Government which is due in May, 1975.
Parade College has a very good chance of receiving
a Building Grant for a school library for the year 1975
- and already sketch plans and site plans have been
prepared by the School Architect in anticipation
of
receiving this grant.
In May 1975 the Schools Commission has the task
of advising Cabinet on future policy for funding for
the period 1976-1978 of all building and recurrent
grants. Heads of schools and all other persons concerned have been asked to consider possible changes
in methods of funding and to submit to the Schools
Commission the views about funding which they believe
are the most suitable for their school. This matter is
also the serious concern of parents and they too are
asked to submit their views on this question of funding.
The closer the amount of contact which Cabinet has
with parents' views, the better the situation should be.
In 1974, the question of standards in education seems
to me to be the crucial issue. To maintain the quality
of Religious Education,
the level of knowledge of
Religion, the sense of neatness in dress, a reasonable
yet IIp-to-date hair-style, to ensure that normal
school shoes are worn and that the language of the
boys and their conversation generally are maintained
at an appropriate Christian norm - this really is one of
the major issues and problems of our younger genera~
tion. Our task becomes more difficult when entertainment films, in both cinema and T.V., permit the free expression of words that were formally regarded with contempt by educated people. It is unfortunate that modern
attitudes - the values and beliefs and the practice of a
generation - can be shaped and controlled by the views
of media magnates. Within the schoolroom itself, the
teaching of Religion in its most modern form has not
finally reached a still-point between doctrine and
communication
skills. It is extremely difficult to get
agreement among teachers about Religion curricula.
On the one hand, parents value what they experienced
at school and want their children to be well-grounded
in religious doctrine and practice. Modern experts tend
to throw a greater degree of decision-making back on
to the child in the matter of religious belief and practice,
and school courses do not present doctrine nearly as
directly as they once did. Often, the doctrine remains
implicit
within
a story chosen from
a novel,
a live
incident or a film shown. Behind the new approach to
teaching religious values is the conviction that the endproduct of our new catechesis will be a more convinced
and a more opcn.minded Catholic. However that may
be, I feel that it is my duty to speak directly to parents
on certain issues which concern the welfare of their
sons. These arc: the daily habit of praying both morning
and evening; training in reception of the Sacrament of
Confession at least monthly; using the Mass book on
Sunday; making an effort to speak the responses clearly
at Ma"is; careful supervision of a boy's companions;
being at home when the boy arrives from school; supervision of his night.study; firmness in the matter of going
out in the evenings so that his study is not left incomplete; regular instruction in good speech and basic
standards of courtesy; maintaining the bonds of family
and control over children and their movements
especially during the long vacation, and most of all,
when the family moves to a sea.side resort; - these
arc bUI a few of the tasks which make up responsible
parenthood.
MISSION APPEALS
RESPONSIBILITY:
AND SOCIAL
The Missions have received very generous support
this year. 5200 was donated to the etforts of the
Diocese; $ 1000 was sent to an Orphanage in India that
is being run by our Brothers in Calcutta; $800 was
raised to help deserted children and there were many
appeals for the Spastic Centre, for the hospitals, for
Austeare etc., all of which found a generous response
in the student body. In addition to these, boys from
Form V made a weekly visit to Janefield where they
learned how to hring companionship
and help to retarded children.
The 6th Form instructed
young
children in their Catholic Faith on a weekly basis.
Other similar works have been a regular feature of
school life, and these point to the school's being a
caring community, panicularly for those outside the
school whose need is great. A good deal of structu red
contact was had with girls from St. Monica's School
and Catholic Ladies' College through Ballroom Dancing
classes, discussions of Religion, Coffee Nights, Drama
Groups and in a number of other ways. Great success
came to the efforts of the Drama Group, who were
placed second in the Catholic Drama Festival for thcir
scene from "Pride and Prejudice", and third at the
South Street Contest in Ballarat. The full produclion
of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" in the beautiful hall
at Catholic Ladies' College was a tremendous achieve-
ment and both schools pay tribute to Mrs. Casey for her
training of the young actors.
The ..It's Academic" team of Parade which appears
on Channel 7 each year, won the State Final, and were
placed third in the National title.
The Edmund Rice College Oval and school buildings
became available for use by Parade College this year
owing to the generosity of Brother Naughtin, and our
experiment in adolescent education with our Form II
group has, I believe, been distinctly successful. This
arrangement will continue in 1975, but is subject to
yearly approval.
From Edmund Rice College also came the members
of the Brothers' first year of training, known as the
J uvenate. These boys while living at Edmund Rice were
fully integrated into Parade College as members of our
Vth and VIth Form and they have given much to the
school and have spenl a profitable and happy year at
Parade. The contribution of Brother Peters and Brother
Long has also been outstanding and I should like all to
know that I am most happy to have these Brothers on
our College staff.
ENROLMENTS
Enrolment is everywhere an important, but difficull
matter for both parents and headmasters, and it is made
more dillicult for Parade because this is the only
Catholic Boys' College in the Diamond Valley. This
year we had 285 applicants for 74 places in 1st Form.
All parents should realise that there is no way in the
world by whi.ch any Headmaster can satisfy all parents
o~ the questIon of enrolment. When filling in an application form to enrol, all information considered im.
portant and relevant should be written on that form;
you should check with the school to find out the date
when the boys will be asked to appear, and you should
ensure that y?ur application fo.rm is present in the right
College files If you submItted It some years previously.
Leave nothing to chance in this matter, and since
en,rolments will normally be held in the month of July,
a phone call to the Collcge will ensure that your son
will not be omitted from consideration because of any
accident through lhe post.
FEE STRUCTURE
It has been the policy of this College and of the
Provincial Council to keep fees as low as realistically
pOSSIble to ensure. that members of large families, or
famJlle~ on a IO\~ Income will all have an equal chance
of find 109 selectIon at a Brothers' College. This year
we were forced to raise our fees by $5 to $70 in Forms
I and II; $75 in Forms III and IV and $80 in Forms
V and VI. I believe that some adjustment to lhe fees
WIll be necessary early in 1975 in order to meet the
risc in salari~s and. prese.nt inflatio~ary costs. I promise
that our basIC poilcy will be contmued and that adequate notice will be given to parents of any change in
this matter of fccs .. In an eITort to save parents from
unnecessary expenditure, our Ladies' Auxiliary will
provide a service of selling good second-hand clothing
c.'uly 111 December. where suits, blazers, pullovers and
tiCS c~n .be b(~ught at. a .reasonable price; our Fathers'
ASSOCiation will act Similarly to provide a secondhand
book service at half-price, hclping both the family who
sells tbe books and the one lhat buys.
ORDINATIONS AND VOCATIONS
It was inspiring to witness the generous spirit which
moved Father Grant O'Ncill, Father Frank Thorp,
Father John Milesi and Father John O'Shea to give
their lives to God as Priests in May of this year. The
customary reception at Parade gave everyone in the
school community an opportunity to meet with and
hear these Priests. In addition to this, Brother John
Challis was received into the Congregation of the
Brothers, and Brothcrs T. O'Shannassy, and M. Robotham made their final vows. Catholic parents continue
to be generous in the encouragement they give to their
sons who aspire to a Religious vocation, but it is also
true that therc are somc who use a Catholic College
because it provides their sons with a suitable guiding
care and excellcnt teaching. They have their goals set
firmly upon a career in the world and if the boy elects
to follow a religious call, he receives no encouragement
from parcnts who have planned differently. I ask all
members of the College to consider honestly and
sincerely that, if Christ calls a particular young man to
his following as a Priest or Brother, that boy's happiness
is involved in responding to the call. It requires faith
and gcnerosity on the part of both the boy and his
parents to see life in religious terms.
CAREERS OFFICER
With the death of Mr. Alban Pisani, the position of
Careers Officer was left vacant and the students missed
this service very much. When Mr. Keith Barkcr decided
to retire early from the Public Servicc, an approach was
made to him to consider taking up this appointment at
Parade. After due consideratiun, Mr. Barker acccpted
the post and has been at the College cvery Tuesday
and Thursday since second term. Latc in Septembcr, he
arranged a Careers Night at which ovcr four hundrcd
people were in attendance. He has taken over one
hundred personal interviews with students and has set-
up his office in the school with a great deal of thoroughness. Abundant printed material on careers is readily
available. I am indeed most grateful to Mr. Barker for
the energy which he has brought to this post and I hope
that his association with this College will be long and
fruitful.
HEADMASTER'S COUNCIL
When thc appointments were made at the conclusion
of Brother Greening's tcrm of office, it was decided to
separatc the post of Headmaster from that of Superior
of the Brothers' Community. Naturally, certain changes
devolvcd from this separation, and one of these was the
appointment of a Headmaster's Council. The members
of this Council are - Brother O'Sullivan, the Superior
of the Brothers' Community, Brother Williams, Brother
Stewart, Mr. Martin Hickey and Mr. Kevin Farrelly.
Mcetings are held at monthly intervals, just prior to
Staff Conference, and the members of Council have
provcd to bc a great support and strength to the Headmaster.
SCHOOL COUNCIL
Aftcr discussion with the Staff, the school decided
that thc S.R.C. would be discontinued in 1974 and that
a council from Vith Form would be elected to act as
School Council. Form V and Form IV have also their
own elected Council. The Captain of the College for
1974 is Lewis Derrico and his two Vice-Captains are
Greg Beck and Peter Drapac. The othcr members of
the School Council are: Paul Brennan, Vic Dressler,
Kevin Fahey, Michael Kuppe, Zenon Kolacz, Mark
Godfrey, Mark Lippiatt, Dennis Hume, Mark Natoli,
Stephen Howard, David Drapac, Brian Sullivan, Mark
Quilligan, Bernard Monagle and David Mastwyk. This
Council meets with the Headmastcr each week, usually
on Thursday and have shown dedication and loyalty.
DEPUTY HEADMASTER AND CO-ORDINATOR
OF JUNIOR SCHOOL
Brothcr H. L. Williams has carried out the duties of
Deputy Hcadmaster during 1974. He is thorough and
calm and brings to his task a persistence which has
provcd to be a great assistance in this particular appointment. His control over the school has been firm
and unobtrusivc and his loyalty to staff and Headma..\tcr is outstanding.
A similar character inspires the work of Mr. Martin
Hickey, who directs the activity of Forms I, II and III.
His long association with the College and his deep love
of Christian education and youth made him the obvious
choice for appointment to this post. To botb Brother
Williams and Mr. Hickey lowe an immense personal
debt and I reeord my thanks and appreciation for all
they have done this year.
STAFF CHANGES
At the end of 1974, Brother Williams will begin a
course of full-time study at the National Pastoral Institute; Mr. Kevin Farrelly will retire from classroom
teaching and take up para-educational work in the
Dandenongs; Mr. Len Foster will begin his work as
Educational Officer of the S.E.C., Sister Mary Johnson,
after two years as head of Science at Parade will return
to the work of the education of girls and Mr. Michael
Kennedy to experience teaching in another school. Br.
J. B. Boonen, who inaugurated our term of occupancy
of Edmund Rice School buildings, is moving to St.
Leo's, Box Hill, and Mr. L. Muir, after years of work
as Librarian has decided it is time to retire. Brother
Long has bcen appointed Headmaster of St. Joseph's
College, North Melbournc, and I wish him the congratulations of the Parade community and lasting succcss in his office. My esteem and appreciation of all
these staff members is obvious and we shall indeed
miss their contribution to the life of the school.
EXAMINATION RESULTS
1973 was indeed a very good year in the work of the
school; 80 per cent of our Vith Form boys were successful in their studies for HSC and there were five
Distinctions gained together with the Julia Flynn Prize.
Details of these results can be found printed in the
Paradian and I shall not outline them any further here,
except to mention the outstanding achievement of John
Michael Rogan in winning the Julia Flynn Prize and a
General Distinction.
CURRICULUM
DEVEWPMENT
After several discussions with the staff, I am pleased
to announce that in 1975 we shall be able to offer a
broader educational experience at Form IV and Form
V level and new subjects will be introduced into the
Curriculum of studies: for example, Biology, Fine Arts,
Commercial and Legal Principles and Technical
Drawing. This has been made possible by the detailed
planning of Brother Sexton, whose understandmg of
the needs of boys at this stage of their development
stems from his many years' experience
as a teacher
and as an administrator. All members of staff conveyed
appreciation of his suggested plan of development of
the curriculum and I encourage parents to find out all
they can about it.
SPORT
The usual round of sporting activities fostered for
members of the A.C.C. was undertakcn this year and
in all of these activities, Parade boys took their part cnthusiastically. They wcre runners-up to C.B.C., St.
Kilda, in the Crickct competition; had an avcragc
success in the 1st 18; were 3rd in the Cross-Country;
were unbeaten
in competition
in their Rugby; con-
tributcd teams in the Soccer; were placed 3rd in the
Swimming and in the Athletics. The U.15 Football team
wcre undefeated. Basketball has become a major
Saturday afternoon activity with twelve teams competing very successfully every week. Our Junior School
has decided to become a member of the JUnior SectIOn
of the Headmasters Conference Schools. This will involve sport on Saturday mornings with schools such as
Ivanhoe, Caulfield, Melbourne Grammar, Scotch College, etc. It seems to me desirable that our boys meet
with and play games against other schools than Catholic
ones, whom they will meet later in the A.C.C. Competition. Some of the tension which has developed in
the latter competition was due to the fact that the boys
the post as Secretary. I offer you the thanks of thc
Brothers and the blessing of God on this tremendous
contribution to School life.
Under the direction of Mr. Kevin Kelly, the Fathers'
Association has met faithfully and has loyally supported
the school functions, such as the dances, and the other
occasions when their help has been asked.
The Old Paradians' Assocation, with Kevin Johnston
as President, does a tremendous job in co-ordinating
and supporting the many activities of past pupils of
the school.
I commend to all our present pupils leaving school
this year, the Old Paradian Association, and I ask
parents to encourage these boys to become members of
the OPA.
I have been extremely consoled and assisted in my
first year at Parade by the loyalty, hard work and
dedication of the staff of this College. There can be no
question, that, both in its Brothers and lay teachers, the
College has a band of outstanding religious educators,
who both appreciate their privilege as religious educators, and who courageously face their tasks and difficulties. Without their co-operation and hard work,
nothing could be achieved and I wish to record publicly
how much the student body really owes to their
teachers.
Finally, I ask the Blessing of God on your families
and commit them to the care of Mary Immaculate, the
Patroness of Parade.

had met each other in games since they were tcn and
cleven years of age.
CADET UNIT
It has been an achievement of 1974 that the Cadet
Unit has continued to function in College life. Major
Kevin Farrelly, our O.C., has supervised the activities
of the unit with excellent control and has encouraged
the young people to carry out their duties confidently
and with suitable modesty and I am very grateful to
him and his fellow Officers for undertaking the very
difficult assignment of the Cadet Unit during the past
seven
years.
Some
modification
of the Cadet
pro-
grammes will be undertaken in 1975 but the Unit will
continue to function. C.U.O. Chris Mankey has been
awarded a full R.M.C. Scholarship to Duntroon in
1976.
AUXILIARY
BODIES
The Ladies' Committee under the direction of Mrs.
Pat Milroy
has proved to be once more of tremendous
a'isistance to the whole school community and they have
made this help readily available. I commend to you all
the twenty-four
years of unbroken service given to the
school by Mrs. Mary Niall who recently retired from

ANNUAL REPORT PARADE BUNDOORA
LADIES' AUXILIARY
Brother McCarthy and Ladies, may I present to you
the 1973-74 report of the Parade (Bundoora) Ladies
Auxiliary.
.
This has been an exciting and eventful year since the
election of this committee last September. We have
seen the departure of Brother Greening after 6 years
as the Headmaster
and the installation of our new
Headmaster Brother McCarthy. Last year we catered
for a Cricketers luncheon, afternoon tea for Prizc winners, their Parents, and guests on Middle School and
Senior School Speech days, luncheon for Rev. Father
McPhee O. Carm, newly ordained Old Paradian which
the Staff also attended. The Matric. finished their year
with a Mass which their Parents attended and supper
was served. Mothers helped to supervise Exams. this is
a great help to the Staff. We closed 1973 with a wonderful farewell Dance for Brother Greening organized
jointly by the Old Paradians, Men's Committee and
Bundoora Ladies' Auxiliary.
1974 opened with our new Headmaster
Brother
McCarthy introducing new ideas and method which
must put interest into our activities. The Auxiliary
began the year with a Mass, a wonderful band of workers made the annual Family night a great success again.
The election of Prefects \'las re-introduced
into the
College and we attended an impressive ceremony when
the Prefects were presented to the assembly of Students,
Staff and invited guests. A Luncheon was served to the
Prefects and their Parents.
T\vo other big occasions were the return of two Old
Paradians as finally Professed Brothers and later in the
year four Old Paradinns as Priests. a wonderful testimony of the teaching and example of the Brothers and
StatT of Parade in this time of dwindling vocations. We
must all pray that more boys will accept the challenge
of Our Lord to follow Him. \Ve have continued to serve
the College by assisting at Student Dances, Staff Luncheons. supervising entrance exams. making sports-bags
to sell in the book shop and in July, 45 ladies manned
the canteen all day one Sunday \vhen the Victorian
Rand League hcld their competitions
in the College
Hall.
Socially, the Auxiliary has always been active, with
Theatre Nights to Pippin and Marne, Supper Dances,
these were not as \vell attended as previously. and
Morning Coffees at Mesdames Scott. Dorian, Collins
and Niall, I thank these dear friends for opening their
homes so willingly to our Ladies.
In May we had a Luncheon at Camellia Lodge, although we hope to see marc present day Mothers next
year, it was wonderful to sec our Past Mothers come
together again, to reminisce over the good times they
had enjoyed with Parade. Father Pickering conducted
our Retreat this year. I'm sure all who altcnded went
away with a renewed strength in their Faith. He spoke
with a great amount of common-sense and a great love
of God.
\Vc sorrowed with many families during the past
year, when loved ones passed away and rejoiced with
others when they recovered from sickness or welcomed
new babies.
Before I close this report I \\o'ould like to take this
opportunity to mention a numhcr of Auxiliary mcm-
bers who will be missing from our lists from now on.
To some extent I feci this is the end of an era, as these
families have been part of the life of Parade for 15 to
20 years, many of their sons bringing honor to Parade
while attending the College and the useful Itves they
have led since.
During 1973 Mesdames Collins, McNarmara, O'Shannessy, Franklin and McDonald retired and this year
Mesdames Solomon, Niall, Entwistle and Barker. Mrs.
Scott remains as Past President but her sons have passed
through the College now. On behalf of all the Mothers
at Parade 1 sincerely thank these Ladies for the time
and enthusiasm they have given to the College in their
many years of service, \\le hope they will continue with
their interest, I personally have learnt a great deal from
all these Ladies in the five years I have worked with
them and will be glad of their advice in the future. We
have a group of Past Mothers who sew for the Brothers
every Month and a hard working group of Mothers who
serve in the Tuck Shop each month under the expert
guidance of Mrs. Hecker. The Auxiliary would find it
hard to operate without the co-operation of the Office
Staff of the College and the Teaching Staff.
Finally, without the work and co-operation
of an
active committee I could not be writing this report, so
my thanks to each and every committee member; you
did indeed support me in every way. May God bless
you all and may our boys finish the year on a successful
note. Thank you.
PAT MILROY, President
IT'S ACADEMIC -
1974
Again this year, Parade entered a team in the HIt's
Academic" competition conducted by Channel 7. After
a series of selection trials involving all members of
Form IV, llrother O'Byrne, the team supervisor, chose
the final team - Maurice Ryan (Captain), Stephen De
GraalT, Mark Blackley and Brendan Moller as the
alternate. The team then trained together, with special
attention centred on speed and concentration.
The first round match saw us win nervously, but
comfortably.
In the second and third matches, we
played marc cooly. but the SCOres correspondingly
became much closer. A certain amount of luck was needed
in getting up from behind in the last minute of the
Series Final.
In the State Final the scores \\fere not as close, but
the pressure and competition were no less and we felt
quite relieved after the match was over and we had
collected the 52,500 worth of prizes.
\Vinning the State Final enabled us to compete
against the four other mainland states in the National
Finals. In our heat, we gained second place \\o'hich
allowed us to move into the final. In the final it was
obvious that we had used up our share of luck in
earlier rounds and we finished in third place.
Throughout the whole series we were faithfully supported by a group of enthusiastic members of the school
and \'v'C arc grateful to them for the way in which they
gave us inspiration and consolation at different times
during the competition.
Unfortunately,
we just missed out on a trip down
the Thames. but coming third in a competition involving about 400 schools from all over Australia is an
elTort to be proud of and says a lot for the elTort put
in by Br. O'Byrne in the preparation of the team.

A
TRIBUTE
TO STEPHEN
GIBSON
Steve Gibson was one of the greatest friends I ever
had. His sudden and tragic death is a great loss to all
those who knew him well. He was always ready to help
his friends whenever he possibly could.
Steve and I shared a great many things in these past
few years, such as hobbies and school activities, both
of which he Jived for. Steve was one of those people
who was always trying to improve himself. He really
put his hean into the rille team as he did with everything else.
RON COON - Room 10
A TRIBUTE
TO PAUL BUSSELL
We would like to record here a brief tribute to thc
memory of one of our Form Three boys, tragically
killed in a car accident on his way to school on June
26th.
Paul Bussell, aged 15 years, was a willing, quiet
student and hclper in all that came his way. As class
captain of his Form last year, he worked hard at the

his absence will make us more aware of
thc true friend and helper he was. His family spoke of
the many jobs he did around the house - oftcn unobtrusively. As one looks back, Paul's quiet efforts become
clearer: he gave so much generously
and without look-
ing for any recognition.
His classmates suggested money for a wreath be
collected and a memento card, signed by the boys, was
presented to the priest at the Procession of the Gifts
during the Funeral Mass, This card rcad:
"Rejoice always in the Lord and His loved ones.
May Paul, our friend, rejoice in the Lord FOR
EVER ...
We have loved him in this life. May we, one day,
rejoice
with
Paul in the life to come."
It has also been decided to place a picture of the
Crucified Christ at the front of the classroom that Paul

"To the memory of a friend and fellow student,
Paul Bussell, who died as the result of a car

May he rejoice with the Lord forever."
In the singing practice the Form Three classes had
before the funeral, Mr. Hickey said that while in onc
way it is a sad moment in the life of the school, we
should rejoice that God has called one of our number
to share the eternal life He has prepared for us all.
This is our prayer.
The most sriking characteristic
of Stephen was bis
gentleness. He never seemed to be moody and always
managed to give a smile. Among his friends he was a
uniter. Stephen was a giver. He put others first as a
true Christian would.
Stephen had an enthusiastic attitude towards Parade.
He wasn't a stirrer like most of the rest of us. He was
a keen participator
in the school's Cadet and social
activities. He was planning to attend the sergeants'
course in December. He took the ballroom dancing
class and thoroughly enjoyed our recent Coffee Night.
He also went on all the school excursions; Dromana
(Form I), Tasmania (Form 2) and Canberra (Form 3).
He was an active member of his parish, St. Raphaels. He had given many years of service as an altar
boy. Like us, he had many plans and ambitions for the
future. He came from a really wonderful family and
seemed to love life.

Those of us who attended the funeral Mass of
Stephen Laurence Gibson could not have failed to be
inspired by the sentiments of the above quotation. first
penned by Alfred Delp.
If such could be truly said about each and everyone
of us, life would be the joy our dreamings yearn for.
The preceding testimonies are an eloquent witness
to the fact that Stephen's life had a joy and a meaning.
We, who together with him made up the Parade
community, are thankful that our drcamings have been
given a little 1110re reality through the example of one
who achieved so much in such a short space.

At the end of February, the ceremony of installation
of the School Council was carried out in the school
gymnasium. The guest of Honour on the occasion was
the Very Rev. Ronald Pickering, M.A., Parish Priest
of Clayton. The parents and grand-parents of the students to be invested were also guests on the occasion
and representatives of the Fathers' Association, the
Ladies' Auxiliary and the Old Paradians Association.
The Headmaster presented each member of Council
to the assembly, read out the biography of his school
achievements, and then invited Father Pickering to perform the investiture. Following upon this, Rev. Br. D.
A. Sexton delivered an address on the subject of school
leadership to which the newly appointed Captain, Lewis
Derrico, responded. Both addresses were received with
great warmth by members of the College.
Father Pickering then addressed all. and at times he
had his audience ringing with laughter and later deep
in thought. He covered a fine range of ideas and did
not spare the soft-minded
innovators of new ideas in
moral and religious training.
When the ceremony was over, the Ladies' Committee
entertained all at a luncheon in the gym, at which
parents, Council and guests all joined the Staff in a
happy celebration of the occasion.

PARADIANS
ASSOCIATION
SPEECH GIVEN BY MR. KEVIN JOHNSTON,
PRESIDENT
OF THE OLD PARADIANS
ASSO.
CIATION
AT
THEIR
I>IAMONI>
JUBILEE
I>INNER - 17TH AUGUST, 1974.
My Lord Bishops, Rev. Fathers, Rev. Brothers,
distinguished guests and friends of Parade, I would like
to welcome you here tonight to our celcbration of the
Diamond Jubilee of the foundation of the Old Paradians
Association,
as you've
no doubt seen on your menus
and the replica of thc first page of the Advocate, the
Association was formed in April, 1914 and as the original Advocate states the objects of this association is
to foster the religious, intellectual and social life of its
members.
We welcome you here tonight to eelcbrate our Diamond Jubilee and with us tonight we have many distinguished
guests. Our first Old Paradian
Bishop,
13ishop Fox, our latest Old Paradian Bishop, Ilishop
Kelly, our spiritual director. Fr. Tough, Ilr. Naughtin
who is the Provincial for St. Patricks Province, Brother
Garvey who is an M.B.E. a constant friend of Parade
and without his help Parade would not bc on this site
right now. Thc gucst speaker for tonight, Br. McCarthy.
Br. McCarthy is the Principal of Parade at the prescnt
time and also holds the distinction of being the first
Old Paradian Principal of Parade. Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Mount. The reason for Mr. Mount's attendance at the
main table tonight will heeome evident later on in the
night. Its very seldom we have Frank shackled to the
official table. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Rush are with us
tonight. Leo Rush was a memher of the first Old
Paradians Committee and we arc very honoured to have
him here tonight.
Sprinkled
throughout
the hall wc
have Brothers who arc teaching at Parade,
Bundoora
and at the Parade Preparatory College. I won't distinguish between them because its all one Parade, we are
in separate areas, but it's still all one Collcge.
The Association over the last 60 years has had many
distinguished members and it is unfortunate that some
are apologies this evening. Ted Gaynor whose name
you will see, if you arc able to read thc finc print on
the menu cover was one of the first committee
mem-
bers and is a Gallipoli veteran. Hc is physically unable
to be herc tonight. Bob Rush is also unable to be herc.
Tim Hardyman the first treasurer of the Association
is unfortunately
too ill to leave his sick bed. Tom
Clearly, former President. Vin Corby former Secretary,
Frank Walsh and Tim Tierny are very stauoch Old
Paradians, but arc unable to be here tonight and send
thcir apologies.
The Association has flourished over the last 60 years
and with a lot of help from its friends in turn it has
been able to assist the College we hope to a marked degree. Flowerdele the Preparatory College was a gift of
the Old Paradians to the Ilrothcrs. The shift from East
Melbourne to Bundoora was assisted quite largely by
the parents of the Collcge at the time and the Old
Paradians. We hope that this shift to Ilundoora is our
fioal move. Over thc 60 years the Association
has
sevcral offshoots into the sporting ficld, the Football
Club was the first club to be formed. If you look
around the hall you can sec the trophies that attest to
their success. The Athletic Club, most of their banners
are either in amongst the Football Club or on the back
wall. They have ten teams and are reasonably successful. The Ski Club unfortunately
does not have the
expertise or the members to compete in competitions,
but what we have been able to do is build a ski lodge
at Ml. Buller. The latest addition to our sporting clubs
arc the two cricket teams. These were started last year
and whilst not premiers, they were successful for the
first term anyway. The Old Paradians Association for
years has been hampered by the lack of finance to do
the projects we would dearly love to do, such as assisting the College in its financial needs, scholarships,
sending worthy members of the College to the Outward
Bounu Organization so that we can add to the numbers
of Icaders that the Old Paradians have given to Melbourne and to Australia as a whole.
With this in mind, it bccame obvious appealing for
money was going out of style. Everybody was appealing for money. The immediate past President,
my
predecessor, Rene Stella formulated an idea. Instead of
asking for money we should start earniog money, hence
the Compaoy "Edarap" was formed. You might say a
strange name, bUI if you look at Parade closely, you'll
see that it's Paradc spelt backwards.
The recent Old Boys, mainly the Old Boys of the
College since it moved to Bundoora, have again shown
the traditions and the spirit that belongcd to the Old
Paradians Associaion. These young Old Paradians arc
returning to the College to help with tutorials in the
senior school and this I think is a very healthy sign for
the Association and a sign that the Association is alive
and flourishing.
Unfortunately
some
of our
kindred
Associations are feeling the strain of modern entertainment. I don't know what the causc of it is, but some of
them arc finding it very hard to continue. I hope the
Old Paradians success continues to overcome this problem and to expand their effcctiveoess into other fields.
We hope the firm of "Edarap" when fully extended will
allow us to accomplish this.
I take this opportunity
of thanking
my committee.
You can imagine the \\o'ork in organizing a function like
this is tremendous and I am very, very fortunate to
have an active committee.
I also take this opportunity
to thank the previous Presidents many of whom arc in
the gathering t01ight and their committees without
whose work none of us would be here tonight.
The old school tic to the Old Paradians
means
assisting Old Paradians, I don't think it is merely taken
as a mcasure of social standing and I hope that io years
to come, the Old Paradians can further this so that
we can become an even greater Association.

Our congratulations
go to C.B.C .. North Melbourne
on their sw.:cess.
The Parade team had prepared particularly well, in
training
and inter-school
meets, for the A.e.C.
Championships,
and despite the overall weakness in
distance events, we expected to go close to winning.
However, we had to be content, with second place
behind the strong C.B.C. North Melbourne team. We
d;d succeed in winning the Senior Cup for the first
time, mainly through the excellent performances of the
Under 17 group.

Cricket
1st XI 1974
Several practice matches were played during 3rd
tenn 1973, to enable the strongest possible side to be
chosen for 1974. In December 1973, Gerard Frost
and Andrew Donahue were chosen to represent the
the AC.e.
in the Victoriao
Schoolboys'
Carnival.
Gerard was elected captain of the AC.C. team.
The team for the first match in 1974 was:
Gerard Frost (Captain), Bill Twomey (Vice-Capt.),
Mark Godfrey (Deputy Vice-Capt.), Andrew Donahue,
Paul Brennan, Mark Lippiatt, Dirk Ebert, Gavan Renwick, Sam Calcagno, Michael Adams, Gerard Cooper,
Anthony
Smith
(12th
Man),
Anthony
Marshall
(Manager).
The opening game against North Melbourne was
won outright by Parade after some very anxious
moments. Bill Twomey (7/25) took the honours when
North Melbourne were dismissed for 62. Parade batted
and declared at 5/81 (G. Frost 41, W. Twomey 17).
In North Melbourne's second innings, G. Frost (4/10),
S. Calcagno (3/19) and W. Twomey (2/17) were the
main wicket takers. Michael Adams kept wickets very
well with three catches. They were all out for 64.
Requiring only 45 runs for victory, Parade lost eight
wickets before passing the target score.
At Braybrook, Parade was sent in to bat, declaring
at five o'clock at 6/208. Bill Twomey's hard-hitting
68, Dirk Ebert's graceful 60 and Mark Godfrey's
welcome 40, formed the basis of a big total. Braybrook
was dismissed for 46 in their 1st innings and 56 in the
second innings. Sam Calcagno (5/8) and Bill Twomey
(3/34) were the destroyers in the first innings and, in
the second innings, wickets went to Mark Godfrey
(3/19), Anthony Smith (2/7 from six overs), Mark
Lippiatt (2/20) and Gerard Cooper (1/4). The latter's
brilliant catch in this match was a highlight of the
season.
The final match against Essendon, revealed again
the brittleness of the batsmen against swing bowling.
It had shown up against North Melbourne and was
repeated again in the final against St. Kilda. In a oneday match, Essendon scored 5/127 in their 25 oversperiod (Gerard Frost 3/29). Parade were dismissed
for 108 (Frost, 31, Godfrey 24).
In the final against St. Kilda, played at Royal Park,
Parade were bundled out for 41. It was a disastrous
innings. After reaching 15 without loss, Captain Gerard
Frost was run out for 9. We then lost 8/13 as the
wickets crashed against fine bowling. Andrew Donahue
scored 24 not out - he opened the innings and batted
right through. As mentioned before, Frost made 9,
extras were 4, so we have nine batsmen contributing
four runs! A great fight back saw St. Kilda 7/61 at
lunch. but their remaining batsmen carried the score to
124. Best bowlers were G. Frost 4/33 and S. Calcagno
3/28. Congratulations
to St. Kilda on a fine win.
Gerard Frost (again Captain) and Paul Brennan have
been chosen to represent the Ae.e.
in the 1974
Schoolboys' Carnival.
On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Br.
Stewart for determined qualities he instilled into the
team.

Expectations
of a successful season were dashed
when we failed to clinch victory in the first match. The
remaining
matches were won comfortably,
Ieav!og
Parade in second position in the Northern zone. Battmg
and fielding were the team's strengths, while the bowling
was good but inconsistent. Craig Considine ably Icd
the team, assisted by Paul Kennedy. Chris Conroy and
Vin Heagerty were sound and reliable batsmen, Kevin
G:eeson and Michael Owen the best bowlers.
RESULTS:
Parade 5/151

Although the side failed to score a victory, the
boys played with much enthusiasm and showed great
improvement as the games progressed. Inexperience
cast us one or two games that otherwise we might have
won.
In the batting, Phil Hammond, Tony Browne and
Pat Toner showed they could develop into good
batsmen.
Phil Hammond,
Darryn Synon, Peter Wood and
Mike Flynn, showed good potential.
Thanks to the Dads who followed us right through
the season, despite OUf failure to win.

UNDER 13A FOOTBALL
As a large number of boys were keen to represent
the College in the ClSA Saturday morning competition
this year, an under 14B team was formed. In excess
of 30 boys played for the team throughout the season
with 28 of them qualifying for a place in the final's
team. The team played reasonable football early in the
season but as time went by, it became obvious that the
players were moulding themselves into a formidable
combination.
The highlight of the season was the
team's tremendous
performance
in the grand final.
Coming from behind in the last quarter against the
wind, the team inspired all of those present with their
hard battling football. With only two minutes remaining, they were only five points behind, but Essendon
held on strongly to finally win and leave Parade as
'runners-up'
for the season. Special thanks to Messrs.
Kissane, Chisholm, Norton, Jones, Baekway, She ather
and Caddy for their support during the year and a
special word of appreciation to Mrs. McBrearty for her
untiring support and dedication. Everyone would finally
like to thank Mr. Considine for his help as home-games
umpire.
Best and Fairest: Peter Chisholm
Second Best and Fairest: Andrew Kissane

(COACH)
After starting the season slowly, the team began to
develop good, play-on football and made improvements
in leaps and bounds as the season progressed. The
team finished fourth on the ladder, winning five games
and losing five.
Tony Todaro gave many good displays from the
centre and won the best and fairest by one vote from
Frank Gleeson. Frank gave some brilliant roving displays during the season. Mark Garrard showed tremendous determination
and gave the side great drive.
He won the most determined .award. Most Improved
award went to Michael Flynn. Michael never stopped
trying in all games and this resulted in improvement in
ruck work and marking. Mark Wilson won the best
Team Man Award. Mark was shifted into many positions and still gave of his best for the team. Tha!,ks
to Brian Ireland (Captain) and Peter Mulholland (V,eeCapt.), for their leadership and service. Thanks to the
rest of the team for an enjoyable season. A last vote
of thanks goes to the Dads who supported the team
as often as they could. Looking forward to a premiership next year! !

The team began the year with much enthusia.m and
eagerness. It was realised very early in the season that
OUf chances of reaching the grand final were remote,
and so a policy was adopted of trying out all boys
interested in football; consequently, over 30 boys took
part in the C.J .S.A. competition.
Many thanks to the parents who regularly supported
the team during the fixture. Congratulations
to all members for their school spirit in playing for their College

Owing to such a large number of boys being prepared to play for their College, in the under thirteen
age group, the thirds team was organized on a social
game basis, playing Colleges from St. Kilda, Malvern,
Alphington and Sunbury. A feature of the team was the
manner in which it played in all games, never giving
in or conceding defeat. Some good talent wa. discovered, especially among the younger boys, who, hopefully will be able to gain selection next year in the
under thirteen firsts.
Thanks are expressed to the parents who supported
the team and to each boy who played for his College.

1974 BASKETBALL REPORT
Basketball
has prospered
once again in school
activities this year. We have proved again that Parade
is a formidable opponent for all teams in the C. Y .M.S.
competition.
We have grown from three teams in 1973 to nine
teams in this third term 1974. This year we managed
to achieve 10 finals places over all 4 grades: u/13,
u/14, u/15, u/16. This is due to the combined efforts
of Mr. A. Aulsebrook
and Br. Boonen. These two
men gave up a considerable amount of their time after
school and at weekends to help us reach our full
potential. There must be special thanks to all the supporters and coaches, in particular, Mr. Pizaro and Mrs.
McBrearty for their most generous efforts towards our
achievements so far. We arc proud this year to have
constructed four basketball rings, all due to the most
outstanding efforts of Br. Boonen. These arc the only
kinds of their type in Australia, making them quite
unique.
By next year we hope to have the second stage of
his programme completed - rings in the hall. We now
have no excuses for finals failure.
Not only have we increased in the Junior, but we
also have an Open Age team OPUS, playing at
Coburg and a girls' U/ 18 team, - BLUEJA YS playing
at Albert Park on a Saturday afternoon. They haven't
been as successful as the Juniors, but this could only
be a lack of experience at playing together. Once again,
thanks to all concerned.

Athletics
Inclement weather during the third term did not
permit the holding of full scale athletic championships
this year. As only a limited number of events could be
held, performances in inter-school meets and the A.C.C.
were used in helping to decide the champion athletes
for 1974.

PRINCIPAL'S
PARADE
PREPARATORY
COLLEGE
REPORT
1974
"Then on September 3rd, 1952, Mr. Tom Cleary
LL.B. phoned to tell of the impending sale of a property on Darebin Creek, which, to his mind, was the
answer to our problems."
This sentence may be found on page 2 of a manuscript, the flyleaf of which proclaims:
"Annals of Parade Preparatory Collcge,
Founded: August 21 st, 1952.
Presented to the Christian Brothers by
The Old Paradians Association
in memory of the Pioneer Brothers of Parade
and the ex-pupils of the College who were
killed in World Wars I & 11."
On October 1st 1974, Mr. Thomas Cleary went to
his eternal reward. Although our sense of loss is indeed
great, our faith tells us that he is watching over our
school in a way that is even more a source of blessing,
than his devoted labour, his remarkable generosity and
his zealous concern during his lifetime. The boys formed
a guard of honour outside the Church of Mary Immaculate in honour of this great man who liked to call himself "the fifth memher of the Flowerdale community."
Our prayers arc answered and he rests in peace.
During the year a work of monumental proportion
was undertaken
and completed by the Parents and
Friends of the school. I refer to the removal and reerection in Alphington of the R.S.L. hall which had
been standing on railway property at the Heidelberg
station. Seven months of week-end working bees entailing thousands of man-hours of labour, and donations
both small and large, have brought to completion a
hall which is not only of immense functional value but
which is also a graceful addition to the pleasant surroundings of Flowcrdale.
This new hall will always remain a tribute to the
Fathers and Friends of 1974. The committee of this
auxiliary body is deserving of a special mention. The
president for 1974 was Mr. Brian McInerney, the secretary was Mr. Barry Scully, the treasurer was Mr. Bob
Bentley together with Messrs. Lance Phillips, Des
Renehan, Peter Barry, Owen Abrahams
and Geoff
Smith.
In March the Ladies Auxiliary joined the Fathers
and a special committee was formed to manage the
annual fete and barbcque. The executive committee
who worked so capably to bring about yet another
eminently successful
venture was president, Mr. C.
Sassella, secretary, Mrs. Noelle Treppo and treasurer,
Mr. A. Bendall.
The Ladies' Auxiliary held their usual round of
functions which are enjoyed and supported by so many
throughout the year. To mention a few of the outstanding events during the year; the Fashion Parade,
the Fancy Dress Supper Dance at Bundoora and the
Progressive Dinner quickly come to mind.
Among the students, a highlight of the year has been
the Camp Week. I cannot speak too highly of the value
of this week. The boys of Gr. V went to Shoreham;
Gr. VI Green went on tour to Gippsland and Wilson's
Promontory; Gr. VI Blue went to the Grampians; For
Form I the tour headed to Swan Hill and Mildura; and
Form II went to the Conference Centre at Tallangatta.
To the staff members and parents who volunteered to
help with supervision I offer my thanks.
to surprise us with her new ideas and her talents. Her
concert items with Gr. VI Green have become features
of our concerts and this year the Annual Billy-cart
Derby was featured in a daily newspaper. Mrs. G. Vermont maintains her fresh approach to art and keeps
the school library running elTectively. Messrs. J. Foster
and F. Russell have been dedicated in their fields of
Physical Education and Speech and Drama.
Cultural activities undertaken during the year included visits to the Art Gallery by Form II students;
a visit by Form I to SI. Vincent's Boys' Home, South
could never be estimated are Mrs, Pauline Twomey,
whose calm and cheerful efficiency in the office is an
inspiration to us all, and Mrs. Frances Kennedy who
keeps house for the Brothers and cheers the whole staff
with her hot soup during the cold weather. To these
also I wish to express publicly my sincere gratitude.
Melbourne,
a short time after the centenary celebra-
tions marking 100 years of work there by the Christian
Brothers; the Grade VI's debated against Sts. Peter &
Paul's, East Doncaster; and Grade V gave an exhibition
of projects on the Kalgoorlie Goldfields and the early
development of Kalgoorlie.
Our sporting teams met with a generous share of
success.
Three cricket teams won premierships:
The
Under 13 B managed by Mr, J. Mullane, captained by
Peter Canavan; The Under 12 A managed by Rev. Br.
Feain and captained by Peter Cashen; The Under 12 Bmanaged by Messrs. T. Smith and P. Nelson and captained by Stephen J. Smith. Four football teams played
in the grand-finals and two of these were victorious: The
Under 12 A managed by Rev. Br. F. Feain and captained by Jeff Breeding; and Under 12 B managed by
Mr. J. Carmody and captained by Michael Wood. In
the first term Basketball competition our two Under 12
teams played each other for the premiership with Terry
Twomey's team emerging as victors. At present in the
third term two teams have reached the tinals: The
Under 12 A led by Terence Prendergast and the Under
14 team led by Peter Bentley. Our top tennis team led
by Stephen Fahey was successful in winning its section
in each of the three competitions, although unable to
take off a section final.
One of the highlights of our religious life at school
this ycar was the return of the newly ordained old boys:
Rev. Fr. Grant O'Neill and Rev. Fr. John Miles;' It is

I thank Almighty God for all the blessings of 1974
and renew my prayers for the coming year.
I pray to the patroness of Parade, Mary Immaeu1ate,
and ask a Mother's blessing upon all connected in any
way with Parade Preparatory College.

certainly very heartening to witness the ordinations of
old boys of Parade each year especially in these troubled
times. This year also saw three Old Paradians commencing their teaching careers as Christian Brothers:
Brs. F. Cauchi, R. Mandile and P. Hudson.
Finally, I would like to thank and congratulate the
staff of the school for a magnificent year's work - Rev.
Br. K. E. Duckworth who acted as principal for the
tirst six months of the year; Br. F. Feain who stood in
for the first two terms and was subsequently transferred
to Aquinas College, Ringwood; Br. J. O'Shannassy and
Br. F. Cauehi who have worked so well and happily
in the primary. Mr. 1. Bibby over the ycars has become
part and parcel of school life at Alphington and Bundoora and thrives on hard work. Mr. W. Bottriell has
titted well into the position left vacant when Mr. S.
Ogilvie left us last year. Mr Boltriell's talent, especially
in the fields of music and sport, has made him a very
welcome newcomer to our staff. Mrs. D. Moloney became the Religious Education co-ordinator for the
school this year and went about her task with her usual
dedication
and energy. Miss P. Rooney never ccases

CLASS NOTES
FORM 2 GREEN
We commenced the year with two new teachers. Mr.
Ogilvie. our Class Master in 1973 was replaced by Mr.
Bottriell, and Hr. Howell, who was studying in Rome
was replaced by Mrs. Reynolds who taught us Maths.
The first term was broken by weekly trips to the
swimming pool when the weather was line. On some
days, the teachers had trouble getting us out of the pool,
and on other days. they couldn't get us in! We were
represented in the Intcr School Swimming by Peter
Bentley, Simon Purcell, Fred Vanderslik and John
Williams.
In the meantime, we were enduring the agony of
work in school and had thc uneasy fceling we were
working far too hard for our age and health I
Aftcr Easter, football commenced, following a successful cricket season during which we had 15 representatives in teams. \Vith few exceptions, everyone in
the Class was a member of a football or basketball (or
both) team. The floods in May prevented us from using
the School ovals, and our Sports afternoons varied
according to the weather. \Vc have become experts at
hand-lennis,
vollcy-ball, basketball (our own rules!)
softball (no rules!), cross-country
and labloid sports.
It was good to see so many of the class presented with
pennants for representing the School in a team. Meanwhile, Br. Howell had returned to resume teaching us
Maths. and Biblical Studies. We were all pleased to see

him back with us, and felt that perhaps Br. Duckworth
was more pleased than any of us! After Br. Howell's
visit to the Holy Land, Biblical Sludies has "come
alive"!
The sccond tcrm passed quickly, and after one wcek
of the third term, the long-awaited trip to Tallangatta
arrived. It will be a long time before we forget this
year's excursion. While most of Victoria was drenched
with rain, we enjoyed glorious spring weather at Tallangatta. While others were being swept away or blown
apart by the weather, wc lived comfortably, ate enormously and slcpt soundly (for a few hours, anyway!). In
addition to our Class Teachers, we were fortunate to
have Mr. McCreesh and Mr. Pcndry with us, and we
receivcd great help and a wealth of information from
the Rev. John McCahan and the naturalists, Margaret
and Bob. We were happy to return at the end of the
week without any serious mishap or accident, although
there were a few occasions when some of us really tried
hard to cause a sensation!
The third term seems to have gone very quickly, and
we have been working really hard to prepare for a
serics of weekly tests. Concert practice has occupied
the time of those in the School Choir, and we have
about half the class appearing on the stage for the
Annual Brcak-up.
As this will be our final year at Alphington,
we
would like to express our sincere thanks to all members
of the staff who have helped to make our time in the
School very profitable and enjoyable.

FORM I GREEN
Farewell to Alphington. We have corne, finally to the
end of the year, 1974. The students of Form 2 Bluc
have had a great year despite the hard work we have
been given by the teachers. Most of us have been at
Parade Alphington for 3 or 4 years - we have enjoyed
it and are sorry to be leaving it.
The event of greatest interest for us this year was the
Tallangatta
Camp during a week in September. The
two main purposes of the camp were: To live together
in a truly Christian way; to study the environment of
Tallangatta. I enjoyed studying the development of the
local breed of beef cattle known as Murray Greys and
I was also interested in aspects of natural science dealings with marsupials. birds and flora, especially the
wild orchids.
During the third term we have had our sights set on
Government Scholarships and so we have been working
hard. Our sporting activities sulTered a setback during
the year when the ovals were flooded. As the year
progressed the new hall continued to takc shape - it
is a pity we have such few opportunities to usc it before
we leave Alphington.
Finally, I wish to thank the stalT for the terrific job
they did throughout
the year - it was much appreciated.
ROD HALL and FORM 2 BLUE.
In the period when Dr. Howell was in Rome, Br.
Feain carne to Alphington and became our English
teacher. He also coached many of us at cricket and
football. At these sports (Under 12) we won Premierships. Br. Feain also looked aftcr us at Sports afternoons. Unfortunately,
llr, Feain was transferred later
in the year. We hope he has settled in at his new school.
Form One Green alTers its thanks to Brother for his
care of us.
This year we had several new boys in our class and
as one of thcm says: "When I arrived at Parade I
thought it woold be very strict. But after a short time
I realised it was a belter school than my previous one.
There is a tremendous
atmosphere
of friendliness
among all at Parade Prep."
Our mission elTort this year will be over $500 which
we hope will help those who arc working for Christ in
poor countries. One of our special efforts was a games
afternoon in the Hall organised and run by Martin
Lnby. This raised nearly $19. Also a projected elTort
will be a games afternoon at Anthony DeBolfo's horne.
In the sporting field our class contributed its share
to the sports of swimming, cricket, football, tennis,
basketball and athletics. Most important,
we learnt
from our various coaches, how to lose in the right spirit.

sightseeinl' and learning together.
In August, Mrs. l\-loloney organised a visit by our
class to a Jewish Synagogue in Kew. Rabbi Fox showed
us around and told us about the !lible. He also showed
us some scrolls, and explained the symbolism of the
pictures around the walls.
We wish all the Parents and Friends of Parade Prep.

In the change from primary to secondary, we noticed
many differences. Work became harder and more was
expected of liS. It was an important part in our lives
because our life depends on the next few years.
Our mission total this year, in which we hope to
raise $550, has not only been due to some gencrous
boys, but to Br. Duckworth for using his valuable timc.

A pool party at Anthony Farrell's house provided enjoyment for us all as well as raising $ I 6.50 for the missions. Once we were asked to make a special effort and
we raised $31.00.
During the year, we weren't very lucky as far as
weather was concerned. Because our ovals were flooded,
we went to Bundoora to play the Form One's there.
We all enjoyed beating them at football, basketball and
tennis, but not many enjoyed being beaten at baseball
and soccer. Many pupils in our class represented P.P.C.
in different sports:- tennis, football, cricket, basketball,
swimming, cross-country and athletics.
This year, Form I went for a tour around Swan Hill
and Mildura. Some of the highlights of the camp were
the Sound and Light Exhibition, Sovereign Hill, Pioneer
Settlement and the paddle steamer ride on the Murray.
It would not have been possible without the help of Mr.
Bihby and the fathers, Mr. A. Jones, Mr. A. McCarthy,
Mr. T. Smith, Mr. B. Mullany who supervised.
Another annual event was the fishing weekend at
Fraser National Park on Eildon Weir. At this weekend,
fathers and sons got together and had a really great
time. More rcdnn were caught than trout. Many red
kangaroos were sighted from the campsite. It was most
enjoyable for all who went.
\Ve would like to thank our parents for giving us the
opportunity to allow us to grow up in this school community and we trust that we will repay them for their
en'ort hy hecoming good catholic gentlemen.

The year started by the old boys meeting the new
boys. After settling in, we got down to hard work and
many outings which we all enjoyed. Our first project
was Paleontology
which is the study of pre-historic
animals. Our next project was Oil - part one and two.
This incorpurated the making of oil rigs and the ans\veriog of many hard questions which we answered with
the greatest of case. This brought up the end of the
first term.
The first activity in second term \Vas our Ned Kelly
day in which we visited the Old Melbourne Gaol and
all our subjects were connected with Ncu Kelly and
several small plays. \"Ie then visited Parliament House
in which we sat in the seats and learnt about the Legislative Council and Assembly. On the 4th July we
celebrated American Independance Day - we dressed
as Americans in which Michael Thomas won the prize
when he came as the Statue of Liberty. It linished with
a meal of corn on the cob ami frankfurts. Our Post
Oflicc assignment consisted of three outings connected
with the Post Office. We also dressed up as different
inventors for Science.
\Ve started 3rd term with the camp where our class
went for a Gippsland Tour which weill for 5 days. We
went to such places as Moe to sec the Open Cut Coal
Mine, then to Sale for the night and then to an Oil
Refinery and Museum. Further on to the Ninety Mile
Beach then to \Vilson's Promontory for two nights, then
to Lcongatha to see the Butter Factory. We went to
Phillip Island which was our last place, then off to
sch.ool to our pare.nts. Six Green also went icc skating
whIch everyone enjoyed. Then we had our Speech !'light
which was a success for everyone in the "Adventures
of Tom Sawyer". All together we had a fantastic year.

Both pupils and teacher began the year as novices,
however it was not long before the settling-in process
began to take clTcct. This year's Grade 5 boys were
energetic in their response to their school life. The camp
at Shoreham was a prime example of this, with cheerful
willingness to co-operate
whenever the need arose.
\Vhencver tests of manliness and Christlike qualities
arose throughout the year the group showed that they
casily qualil1cd for these worthwhile characteristics.
Each group helped in the daily work around the camp
With zeal and determmatlon - one group even refused
to stop till the job was complete (having already worked
for an hour). This zeal and friendliness was not lacking
in the camp staff, where my work was tremendously
lightened by thdr pleasant company and hard work,
cheerfully and efficiently carried out by Mrs. Elsa Pertile, Mrs. Va. Kissane and Br. Duckworth.
Activities on the Shoreham camp were whittled down
to a fairly small number, as rain persistently
fell
through the camp. However rain never succeeded in
dampening their spirits as everyone seemed to enjoy
the week with its unlimited indoor activities and very
limited beach and swamp activities.
As in the past, the boys have taken very well to
sport generally.
The inter-school
sports
activities
(cricket, football, basketball and tennis) represented by
these eager and determined competitors of Grade S.
The class sport activities \verc also tackled with spirit
and enthusiasm.
In games stich as soccer, football,
cricket. basketball. tennis, volleyball and even cross
country running:. the different talents and determination
of the boys will keep Parade's sporting image in the
limelight.
Over all. I think that the image of the 'Typical
Paradian" in the fields of study and sport and most
importantly. the Christian personality will live on for
a long time to come.

PARADE
PREPARATORY
AUXILIARY
COLLEGE
REPORT
1974
The Ladies' Auxiliary has had a very husy and successful year. Although attendances at some functions
were lower than previous years, each production was
a social success. Following last year's format, each
function was organised by a different member or groups
of members of the committee. Again this proved effective. I will not list each event and organiser separately,
but please accept our sincere thanks to each person
connected with our activities. To the committee I can
only say that their co-operation and cheerful ability to
work hard and long are one of the most rewarding experiences in which a president of this auxiliary can
share.
Sometimes it may seem that the efforts of the auxiliary arc not fruitful in comparison
with the energy
expended, financially or numerically this may he so,
but in the long term our success is hard to judge. Our
school is a great schoo!. It is perhaps almost unique in
the enthusiasm evoked in stafT, parents, boys and old
boys. This is seen not as a separate entity, but as one
whole living and growing Christian Force.
h is as part of this force that each of us can give so
much to the Catholic Social ideals of the present age,
and it is on this that we must judge our final success.
As mothers and housewives united with the Church
in caring for our children we gain a knowledge of our
own dignity and ahility despite media propaganda. We
have a tremendous amount to olTer in the very fact that
we are Catholic Mothers taking the responsihility of the
temporal as well as the most important spiritual welfare
of our children.
Together we can gain assurance and knowledge from
the fact that we belong to part of a system of education
based on the teaching of Christ. A system which can
bring peace and sanity to each family and to the world.
May I quote IIlitz who states "the schools arc instruments for social control". We want our social control
to he God inspired and it is to this end that our cups of
tea, coffee and biscuits, strange as it may seem are ultimately directed,
Finally my sincere thanks to Brother Howell for all
his help and to Brother O'Shanessy who sustained os
with his homilies and humour during Brother Howell's
ahsence.

The Grampians
GRADE
6 BLUE
We left school on Septcmber 16th to go to the Grampians, but lirst we stopped at Sovereign Hill. We saw
the black-smith, mines and many other things. We all
had great fun panning for gold but we didn't have much
luck.
After a while we left to go to Hall's Gap, which was
our camping grounds. When we reached our camping
area, it was raining and cold. In about three-quarters of
an hour's time we had our tents up. \Ve soon got our
things out of the bus and put them into the tents.
There were two big tents - I was in one of themand there were about six small ones. Our tent collapsed
three times, on the third time we started to move into
other tents or into the bus. The other big tent fell down
that night and the kids in that tent moved into the bus.
That night we had to work quite hard fixing up the
tents but it was a lot of fun.
The next morning we woke up early, Tom Gaona",
Peter Robertson and I were going to have a look at a
grave of a girl who was huried over a hundred years
ago. Then we went down to the creek where we saw
some kangaroos. We felt the water which was icc cold
and I almost fell into it. Soon after when we went back
to camp. we had breakfast and after that we set out for
Mt. William with our guide Mr. Tucker and bus driver
Warren. \Varren drove us some of the way and the other
part we walked. From Ml. William we could see aJl the
other mountains.
When we reached the top of Mt. WiJliam, there were
some puddles around thc place and at the top of thc
puddles were thin pieces of ice. Mr. Tucker said it
snowed on Mt. WiJliam in the night. We hoped to see
some snow but there was none to be seen. Mr. Tucker
then told us some things about Ml. William - one 01
them I rcmember very weJl - it was that Major MitcheJl discovered Ml. William and he named it after King
WiJliam.
On our way down we S;lW many birds - robins,
galahs and magpies. \Vhen we were at the bottom of
the mountain, \Varren had an apple for each of us.
After we ate our apples we went lO the park and had
lunch.
After lunch some boys went down to the creek and
others played football. From there we wcnt to anolher
place, it was a frack and we followed this track. \Vhcn
\Vc came out the olher end we met Warren.
\\le waited
a while for Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Sehparyk. Then
we went hack to the camp and started camp flres. Our
camp lire wasn't very good and kept burning out. \VL'
had put lip the tL'nts jllst before going to Ml. William.
\Vhen it \"'as time to cat, \Varren called us: after we ate
we played around or \vent to the General Store. Then
we said prayers with 13r. O'S and called it a day.
On Wednesday we were to go on the Wonderland
trail. After we did our Christian living we had free.
time, then lunch. After lunch wc go ready to go for our
four mile walk.
Warren drove us to the start of the trail and Mr.
Tucker look us the rest of the way. Geoff Money, our
third tcrm class captain was just behind Mr. Tucker.
After a while Mr. Tucker found thai he had taken us
on a wrong trail. So we started to back-track and we
found another trail which we went up to the Pinnacle.
Mr. Tucker then led us on another wrong trail and
this time we ended in a moss bcd, so we went back •.lnd
went on another trail and this was the right one. Some
boys and I went down a short way we had known from
hikes in the night. It was prctty rough but we kept
going. Half way down, Mat Powell tripped over. We
stopped and helped him up but he wasn't hurt so we
kept going. When we reached the camp, Mr. Tucker,
I3r. O'S and the two mothers were nowhere to be seen.
About half an hour later thcy returned. Warrcn had
made the meal and we ate. After we ate we had a
birthday party - it was Bren Kelly's birthday.
That night we went to bed at 9.00 p.m. but before
we went to bed we said prayers.
On Thursday we woke up at 6.30 a.m. We started
to pack up because this \Vas the day for us to leave,
When we had finished breakfast we folded up the tents
and put them away.
We were going to stop at Bendigo before coming
home. \Vhen we rcached I3cm.ligo we had lunch and
then went to an old gold mine. \Vc sawall the machines.
tools and dress rooms. Then we sawall of Bendigo's
historic hotels and buildings on the talking tram. ~
After that we left to come home - it took us quite
some time to comc home from Bendigo and we were
meant to get home at 5.00 p.m. but came to the school
at 6.30 p.m.
We then unpacked the bus - Warren
check and then we all left to go home.
