ANNUAL REPORT My Lord, Reverand Brother Naughtin, and Friends of the College: Mr. N. Cuh'in Mr. J. Jennings Br. R. Aron 1 have the honour to present to you the report of Parade College for the year 1976. In all respects it was a normal year of histury; the roll call stood at eight hundred; the staff was stable and morale high. There were no outstanding events, except perhaps the winning of the A.C.C. Football Championship by the First XVIII, but it is not outstanding events which make a year of productive Catholic education, but rather the unseen and often involved hidden work of teaching, counselling, preparation and sharing. With regard to these, I am happy to be able to state that a fine community spirit exists within the staff of the College, and that it has been deepened in 1976 - a spirit that is essentially Christian and Catholic, and which places highest emphasis on the development of morn 1character and Christian commitment in the lives of our students. Earnest and determined efforts have been made by each of oor Form masters to grapple with the problems of personal growth and practice of the faith, and in 1976, we allowed each Form master two hours per week for counselling his students. Three of our Form masters, most active in the school, Br. R.I.Peters, Br. Tony Q'Byrne and Br. Michael Mooney, are leaving .Parade this year. To them especially, and to Mr. Michael Pennefather, who is finishing here at Parade this year, I say "Thank You" for devoted work in the school and every success for the future. It is important that parents realise that the Sixth year produces in our youth a mature, committed and personal response to religious and moral values. I, therefore, exhort as many parents as possible to give their sons the opportunity of seeing the full six year programme of the school to its limit. Naturally enough, some boys enrol here whose intellectual abilities require that they be greeted to a different style of education before they reach Fifth or Sixth Form. lIowever, with the roll of Sixth Form at 130, Parade has no need to worry about the co-operation of our parents. The school is a member of the Associated Catholic Colleges of Melbourne, and through the Headmaster and the Sportsmaster, Parade participates in the education policies and sporting programmes organised by these nine schools. The College is also a member of the Principals' Association of Catholic Colleges in Victoria, and in this way Parade shares with other Catholic Colleges in the work of the Catholic Commission on Education in Victoria, and finally, Parade is also a member of the Headmasters' Conference of the Independent Schools of Australia, and through this organisation has access to all the educational policies of other independent schools, and takes part in al1conferences organised by all these varied Associations. Through these bodies it is possible to keep the College well to the forefront in solidly based innovations and to ensure that the reputation of the College stands high. Br. L. Fnmcis Br. T. Coghlan Mr. J. Ncwbegin Miss A. Williams Mr. J. Unkles 1976 witnessed the second year of the formation of the Association of Teachers in Victorian Catholic Secondary Schools, of which the foundation President was the lIeadmaster of Parade, and whose activities cover the professional interests of all teachers working in all Catholic Schools in our State. Parents should continue to keep a keen interest in the activities of and statements issued by this body of teachers. In Catholic education throughout the Archdiocese we have witnessed the launching of a regional development plan for secondary education by the Catholic Education Office of Melbourne. [n so far as it is able to do so, Parade College will co-operate with the Diocesan Authorities, while at the same time its independence in enrolment and the preservation of the links between Parade Preparatory College and the Senior College are guaranteed. I am most happy to report the development of a new school for boys in this area which will be sited at Epping, durin~ 1977. its projected intake for 1978 is 120 Form One boys. Similarly I mention the planning of a new school in Greensborough which at this stage is being carefully diseussed,and for the planning of which an initial grant has been made. It is hoped that an additional 80 boys and/or girls will be enrolled at this school. The developments mentioned in this area will greatly relieve the tension places on the Headmaster of Parade in the matter of enrolments which has been for some years now the most embarrassing task of the scholastic year. I wish also to report to parents that the Bill ar.nouncing the formation of the Victorian [nstitute of Secondary Education has been passing through its second phase during the Spring Session of our Parliament; that II.S.C. is guaranteed for 1977 and 1978 in its present form; and that during 1979 a decision will be taken regarding the form of the future of assessment at the end of secondary education. From 1979, V.U.S.E.B. will be replaced by V.I.S.E., and external assessments as a means of estimating students at the end of the Secondary course will be decided upon. As a result of a grant of $108,000.00 from the Commonwealth Government to Parade, for which the College is deeply indebted to Sir Brian lIone as Chairman of the State Priorities Committee, a new College library, the Brother J. S. Nash Library, was opened in the grounds of the College on 24th October, by Senator, the Honourable J. L. Carrick, Minister for Education, in the presence of Ilis Grace, Archbishop T. F. Little, S.T.D. The planning of this library was undertaken by Sir Brian Hone, Mr. A. R. Stella and the Headmaster, and the students are delighted to be able to study in the very congenial surroundings which this library has provided. I record here the donation fo valuable books by Professor Goldman of La Trobe University, and by Mr. Groff Borrack, of a gift of a large watercolour",ainting by Mr. John Borrack, and of an oil painting by Miss Joan Reed. The Ladies' Committee have been generous in donations of three oil paintings for the library, and the Fathers' Association have contributed generously to the provision of a large stained glass window to be place on the west wall. All of these considerably lift the level of cultural life within the College and arc a valuable accompaniment to the classes in Fine Art which have been taken in Fifth Form for the last two years, and for the fine productions of the Drama and Musical Comedy which have occurred as a normal part of school life during the last three years. lIere I wish to pay a well-deserved tribute to the young men of Edmund Rice College who have been leaders in Debaling, Drama and Public Speaking, and who have considerably enriched student life at Parade by their enthusiasm for the spoken word. Two new nag-poles have been erected outside the gymnasium - one named after Mr. Alan Smith, and the other after Mr. Ray Reynolds - and these provide an opportunity for the boys to share in the victory celebrations of the school during their school day. A wrought iron grille has been provided as a security measure in the undercroft, and will add a dimension of beauty as well of security. Provision for indoor basketball has been made in our gymnasium by the building of retractable back.boards and rings - a facility which the boys have greatly appreciated. Carpets have been laid in ten of the class-rooms and new tables and chairs procured for all the H.S.C. classes. The ballroom dancing classes continued in a more nourishing condition this year, ~ndthe social entertainment of the boys was lifted greatly by the presence of parents at five of the six social functions held for our student body this year. The Staff of the new Library include Mr. Tom Ryan and Mrs. Mary Walsh. Mr. Ian Newbegin has been appointed in the audio. visual department and the Librarian is Miss Ruby Tout, M.A. I acknowledge with deep gratitude the work of Father Pat Creed, our Parish Priest, in the monthly Confession which he provides personally for our boys. In addition, Father A. Mr. J. Ramsdale Mr. D. O'Brien l Mr. J. Joss Mr. P. Mazzini Br. G. Fnmccs Spierings and Father G. Gebbie visit the College weekly and celebrate Mass, providing spiritual life and counsel for our student body. Here I wish 10 acknowledge the enormous contribution to the spiritual life of this school over the last three years which has been made by Father Ronald Pickering, M.A. (axon), who has given Retreats to senior boys, and each year has preached a Retreat for our Ladies' Auxiliary and has taken an active part in the formal functions of school life. In a very detailed survey made by the Religion Department of the La Trobe University by means of a questionnaire administered to our student body. we were pleased to find corroboration of a very high percentage of sound Catholic moral attitudes in the Fifth and Sixth Form students. Of the twelve schools which took this survey, Parade College was the outstanding school for its religious and moral tone. It is with regret that I record the resignation from the staff of Parade of Mr. Jack Foster who has been in charge of Physical Education in both ounchools for a very long period of time. Mr. Neville Colvin will replace Mr. Martin Hickey at the National Pastoral Institute, and I welcome Mr. Hickey bac!, to our Staff. Mr. Vic. Talbot once again came to our aid in the Department of Chemistry, and for this I express appreciation. In 1976 during the month of March, the Headmaster invited former students of H.S.C. classes in 1973. 1974 and 1975 to a reunion in the gymnasium on each of three separate eveings, a reunion designed to provide the school and the ex-pupils with mutual information and advantage, and the present H.S,C. will return for a reunion on 9th March, 1977. At Parade Preparatory College a farewell to Mr. Bill Dunne and his wife drew a wonderful crowd of Parade supporters, and at Parade Senior College in the month uf September, a splendid dinner was held on the occasion of the Tenete award being made to Brother Garvey and Judge Jim Gorman. Ywish to welcome in the warmest possible terms, Brother Max Adams to Parade Preparatory College and the community of Parade. His work in the Junior School has already endeared him to the parents and to the Parade College community, and I wish him well for the development of new buildings which he is at present planning for our Junior School. The Fathers' Association of this College have held several working bees this year with upwards of one hundred and seventy men present, spending six hours on each of these days in hard work on the grounds, in the gymnasium and in the school generally. Their magnificent generosity has saved the College thousands of dollars, and I wish to thank them all through their President, Mr. Peter Hedger. They laid down new cricket wicket in the grounds; they ran a most successful Sportsmen's Night in September, and through their own initiative they launched a very successful appeal for funds for the library, which at present has exceeded S8,OOO.00. The Ladies' Auxiliary has been equally busy. Mrs. Dawn Turner has presided over regular monthly meetings; the Ladies managed the tuck shop; they provided all the necessary luncheons for social functions at the College, and they staged a magnificent exhibition and sale of art at Parade which was opened by Dr. Graeme Marshall of the University of Melbourne. In addition to this, a very loyal band of Ladies continue to meet regularly at the College to do the mending and ironing and other such work for the Brothers' Community, and here I wish to pay tribute to all the members of this wonderful band of Ladies who for the past twentyfive years have never tired in this service. I acknowledge with gratitude the joyous spirit and co-operation of Sister Madeleine and Sister Janice of Our Lady's College, Heidelberg, of Sister Joan of Catholic Ladies' College, and of Sister Theresa of St. Monica's College, Epping. These generous Principals of Girls' Schoois have, all of them, proved marvellous allies to Parade in all manner of ways. The boys themselves have also been active. In 1975 they raised S6,500.00 for charity; in 1976 this total was lifted to $7,200.00, the entire amount of which has been given to deserving charities. Two of our students, Maurice Ryan and John Giddens, spent a month at the Outward Bound Movement in January owing to the generosity of the Old Paradians and the Fathers' Association. Brother Aron orga organised most successful tours of Tasmania for our Form Three boys. Christian Living camps and spiritual retreats have been held for every class in the school. I also refer to the development of the junior football club in association with the Old Paradians' Association which is the work of Brother Aron and Mr. Peter Booth, and I greatly commend this social activity to parents on behalf of tbeir sons. I rejoice to report the development of Catholic education at Cathedral College, East Melbourne, where earlier this year the Arcbbishop opened a magnificently planned new school block. I also rejoice in the Consecration of Old Paradian, Bishop Joseph O'Connell, as Assistant to the See of Melbourne and the Ordination of Father Michael Mifsud to the Priesthood, and of Michael Hough and Tony Casamento to the Diaconate; and I mention here that one of our old boys, now twenty-one, will be entering upon his Priestly studies in the New Year. Mrs. M. Ca~hmon: Mr. K. Si.ou \1r. J. Wolcl.ko The community of Brothers are deeply indebted to Dr. John Grant and Dr. Neil Sist for their ministrations to the Brothers and often to students who have been injured. I wish to thank the splendid work done in our school on two occasions this year by Brothe" R. S. Stewart and M. B. Stallard, the Schools' supervisors for the Province. A most thorough report of the inspection was issued by these Brothers to the administration, and on their second visit to Parade, the supervisors were able to check the development of the policies they had recommended. Our classes in Forms 1 and 2 continue to be held in the Edmund Rice Buildings. Their isolation from the rest of the school enables these younger boys to develop qualities of leadership, and they are able to receive an education which takes greater notice of their needs instead of asking them to conform to the rest of the school. In a great measure the absence of any serious problem during adolescence can be attributed to the very special programme and opportunity which this site offers these boys, and 1 am most hopeful that this can continue. I wish to pay tribute to a sterling office staff, to David Natoli and his group of Council leaders, to the Sixth Form generally for their spirit of study and co-operation, and to the Staff, especially the Deputy, Brother G. V. Frances, on whose shoulders fell the heavy burden of administration during my absence this year. Perhaps the deepest regret which I experience at this stage of the history of Parade is the absence of Religious vocations in the life of the school. It is a matter of some mystery to all of us that quite suddenly a school which has for many years been outstanding in the number of Vocations to the Priesthood and Brothers which it produced, has suddenly become sterile in this regard. I am personally certain that the question is related to the general practice of postponing decisions about commitments, especially personal commitments, to a later stage of their lives on the part of young men, and it is is a matter of great regret to me that the Christian Brothers do not actively postulate vocations at Universities and tertiary Institutions, yet f am very happy that the future of Parade will be invested in a dedicated and united community of teachers and in Brother John M. Wright, a young and dynamic Headmaster, recently appointed by our Pro,incia!. who will take up office in January, 1977. May I wish him every blessing and success here in Parade. May I take this opportunity of wishing your families every blessing for the Holy Season of Christmas, and that you will come back to Parade in the New Year refreshed and ready to make a new start.

The seniors' efforts in winning the 1st XVIII Premiership were outstanding, and the combined efforts in the A.C.C. Swimming and Athletics were equally brilliant. In drama we have seen the high quality productions of "The Davidson Affair" and "Fiddler on the Roor', but most important of all we have seen the strong bonds of friendship and spirit which have been forged amongst the students. They say it is the Sixth Form who give the lead to the school, and in the area of school spirit this is true. But what is so commendable is that the rest of the school has picked up this spirit so quickly. This spirit enables the workings of the school to run smoothly, but there are other people who are essential to the school's running, and they must be thanked. The teachers are the ones who have not only slaved away in trying to instil knowledge into our hearts, but also to organise all activities that the students participate in. On behalf of the students, I would like to thank them. And one other group of people who must be thanked are the ladies - it is they who run the Administrative side of the school, and the ladies of the Auxiliary who keep the canteen running for our convenience. It has been a successful year - but with the quality of the students who will be moving' up in the following year, I am sure the College will be even more successful. DAVID NATOLI \ \ •• • TRIBUTE TO BROTHER McCARTHY This year is memorable, as the year of the Olympiad, demise of Mao-Tsc.Tung, and the installation of a new U.S. President. Closer to home we are aware of the handing over of the office of Headmaster by Br. F. I. McCarthy to Br. J. M. Wright. Maybe the implied comparison with the mentioned world events may seem flamboyant and pretentious. but few realize that Br. ML-earthy is not simply stepping down after a three-year term of administration at Parade. In fact, Brother has served the young men of Parade for a zealous fifteen years. Let me recall for your appreciation that the post.war period of 1950-1960 was a memorable decade during wldch Br. F. I. McCarthy exercised a fantastic innuence on the senior students orthe "Blue Stone Pile", No"ne meets Br. Frank without immediately being aware of his dynamism, leashed energy straining, controlled, applied tirelessly, unselfishly to the task in hand. So was it, especially in his prime. During the decade of the fifties, Brother was Senior Master of French and English at Forms V and VI levels. He taught eight periods of school daily, edited the "Paradian" over tcn years, coached cricket and football with the Under 14 and 15 age groups, and supervised the debating team at a great period in its history. Those who came under Brother's care at this time will recall the beautifully designed May Altars - constructed with student help, these altars varied in form: at one time abstract, another medieval; one depicting a mountain shrine or another featuring Australian timber. Who can gauge the impact made by May devotions in the lives of many students so privileged to attend a College whose Patron is Mary Immaculate? In this matter, Brother was simply sharing what was in his own soul. How does one measure the worth of such a man? Only the Lord can do that! But let us, with awe, recall in the Sixties that over thirty young Paradians went onto Priestly studies and twenty to the Brothers' Training College. These students, and others, valued the interest Brother McCarthy took in his past pupils. Deservedly he was elated to'share the success 01 forty-lour young men (from a total class of sixty-six in 1960) when, in 1964, they graduated from the University. So many of these men were grateful to Brother as he made himself available to guide, direct and advisc thcIll on their studies. Of course he set the pace and he gave the example, finding time to complete his M.A. and B.Ed. as well as handle administration as Deputy Headmaster during 1957,58,59,60. No one would be surprised to hear that Brother re-organized and built up the College Library into an excellent reference, especially in the areas of Reli~ion, English, lIistory and Sociai Studies. No one belterdeserved the break from the classroom during 1961, 62,63. But realise that in these yem, Brother completed his Doctorate at Cambridge University. On his return from England. he plunged back into the classroom at Parade dnring 1964 1965. At this time he became deeply involved in the design ;.IIldplanning team of Brothers about to make the Bundool"<..Idrc<..I1llinto a reality. Most noticeably his inflUl..'nce W<..IS seen in the Brothers' Chapel. with its air of contcmpbtioll ami its total urient<..ltion to the Eucharist. Y(.'t nl) 011<.' call spend even a short time in the Chapel and bl,." kfl lI11a,o,',HC that his gaze is direcled through glass p.III1:15 10 Ihe many prcsences of the Lord. ("Jhwer goes out .from I,im ... "). In this edition of the Paradian I have elected to use a deal of space to ensure that this contribution to the Parade of the Past is not forgotten, nor should it go unheralded. Today as you enter the property you are immediately conscious of the beautiful scenic setting so carefully fostered by Brother. As Principal of Parade for the past triennium he has managed to grasp the nettle of the debt - a herculean task, of which few would be aware. Six classes now attending will recall his rhetoric at the microphone, the rearless courage, ringing with conviction, presented at the weekly assemblies and official occasions. With inspired zeal he shared his ideals - an uncommon man, a man of vision. The faculty of the College were certainly more appreciative of these qualities than were the students, but that is only to be expected. And above all, the staff experienced the concern with which our Headmaster built staff relationships and the bonds and environment ofa truly Christian school community. While deeply devoted to his teaching, Brother excited classes with the enthusiasm and interest he brought to the subjeets he taught. Fortunate, indeed, are those who claimed him as mentor. But such is his energy and such his educational vision that he was in constant demand to the higher levels of Educational Theory and Administration. What extraordinary demands were made on him as he was invaluable in numerous educational bodies. I recall, as best I can, the following:C.E.C.V. S.S.C. A.T .V.C.S.S. (lion. Secretary) S.T.A.C. (Convenor) V.U.S.E.B. (Catholic Schools' Representative) Catholic Principals' Association A.C.C. Principals' Association !I.M.C. (Member of Standing Committee) A.A.R.E. (Australian President for nine years). Brother McCarthy brought great prestige to Parade and to the Christian Brothers' Congregation. Most significantly the new Br. J. S. Nash I.ibrary stands as a monumental tribute, not only to Br. Nash, but also to Br. McCarthy. Surely no more fitting edifice can record the achievements of this man of such perceptive vision and boundless energy. Brother has always presented the Ideals of Wisdom, and Freedom. With deep earnestness many will recall the challenges to view all from God's point of view, to be men of integrity. giving respect to each individual, and pursue the truth that will make all free, with the liberty of the sons of God. "Be fearless! Be committed!" With Pope Pius XII he decried the 'modem' evils of lethargy of spirit, coldness of heart and weakness of will. Sadly he will move from our school community. Yet with confidence we know he will give wholeheartedly of his best in his next appointment. Repeatedly Edmund Rice was on his lips. The cause of the Canonisation of Edmund Rice is especially dear to him and frequently he made mention of it to studcnts. The best likeness that we have of Edmund Rice is prominently displayed in many areas of the College.

The aim of the event was to raise money for a number of charities, including Churinga, Janefield, The Salvation Army, Ozanam House, the Christian Brothers' School on Bathurst Island and Freedom from Hunger Appeal, among others. Once again. the function, rIr~ ., which was organiLed by Mr. M. Pennefather, was a great success with the sum of S 74.00 being raised. We were very fortunate that heavy showers held off until almost all the walkers had arrived back at school. The Walkathon looks as if it is a permanent fixture on the school calendar. and gives the boys and staff an opportunity to exercise some practical Christianity. The outstanding effort was by TONY TODARO who raised S 210.00 .!G ~ J). . Pit,",:" . 15 Ii. %A~~~ '. J( ..' .;..... - CONVEYANCE ALLOWANCE (REGISTERED With permission from the Victorian Education Department, following is re-printed for Ihe advice of parents. (Extract January. from the Education 1976.) Gazctte and Teachers' Aid, 30th 4.8 kilometres from that school. In the case of a pupil residing in til attending a school situated in the Ballarat, Bendigo, Gee!ong, and the Melbourne metropolitan (including Dandenong and Frankston) areas, measurements arc to be calculated on a radial basis. Each school in these areas should obtain a survey map of the district and mark thereon a circle of 4.8 kilometres radius having the general office of the school as the centre. No pupil whose pl3ce of residence is within the circle is eligible for an allowance, and an application on behalf of such a pupil should not be submitted to the Department. In all other areas, measurements are to be calculated b)' the shortest practicable route. 2. ~n allowance may a~) be grantcd on behalf of a pupil not attcndmg the nearest school of the appropriate denomination for any of the following reasons: (a) Zoning: A pupil must reside not less than 4.8 kilometres from the school attended and, because of a rigidly enforced system of zoning at the time of enrolment, attend the nearest school at which he could be admitted. Each application must be accompanied by a certificate from the principal that the pupil is attending the school to which he is zoned or, if the pupil is attending a school that is not zoned, a certificate from the principals of all nearer schools to which he could not be admitted because of zoning. (b) Lack of accommodation: A pupil must reside at least 4.8 kilometres from the school attended, which must be the ncarest of the appropriate denomin. alion at which accommodation is available. Each application must be accompanied by certificates from principals of all schools of the appropriate denomination nearer to the pupil's home that he applied for admission to each one but was refused admission because of lack of accommodation, prior to admission to the school now allcnded.1t is nol sufficient for a certificate to state that a pupil would not have been admitted if he had applied for enrolment, or words 10 that effect. (c) Transport unsuitabblc or more costly to the nearest school of Ihe appropriate denomination: A pupil must reside at least 4.8 kilometres from the nearest school of the appropriate denomination and must attend the nearest school to which there is suitable transport at reasonable cost. Each application must be accompanied by a statement showing the nearest schools. forms of transport which would be used, the cost of transport in each case, and any other relevant details th.1I may help the Department to reach a decision. Ignorance of the existence of other schools will not be accepted as a reason for furt her consideration of an application. •• 3. An allowance m.lY also be granted on behalf of a pupil on Irans!"l'r from the junior secondary section to the senior secondary .'il.:t:lion of a school if he resides not Icss than 4.8 kilometres from the \l'niur secondary section and the junior secondary section is the ncar nearest appropriale school of that denomination to his homc. An application on behalf of this pupil must slate Ihal he is transferring from thl' junior secondary section to the senior secondary section of Ihl' Sdllloi. ••. 1\11 ;l1lllw.mce ma~' also be ~ranled on behalf of a pupil residing nul kss lhan 4.8 kilol1lelres from a fH'e school Iransport service 10 the ,choul alll'mkd. providt'd Ihl;' pupil is ••ttcnding the nearest appro. p.-blt, '''l"hllol tu which he l'ould bt' ••dll1ith.'d. :;.

An allowan.ce may be granted on behalf of a pupil who altcnds the nearest junior secondary. secondary. or technical school of the appropriate denomination and ••••. ho resides not less than POST-PRIMARY 6. An application for the allowance should be made on the appropriate yellow form (No. TR8DO), supplies of which are obtainable from the Education Department. When completed, the form should be forwarded to the Officer-inCharge, Transport Branch, 107 Russell Street, Melbourne, 3000. 7, No allowance shall be paid to any pupil in attendance at a junior secondary school after he has completed the fourth year of the course prescribed in district high schools. 8. Except in special cases approved by the Minister, a conveyance allowance in excess of S200 a year for travel by public transport will not be paid on behalf of any pupil. An el.igi.ble pupil who uses as his means of transport a bicycle, horse. private motor~ar, etc., is entitled 10 an allowance at the ratc of S50 a year. Except in rural areas, an allowance is not granted for transport by a special bus under contract 10 one or more schools or school committees and used cxclusively for pupils of those schools. In rural areas an allowance up to $200 a year may be granted on behalf of each eligible pupil, provided the cost of operating a service is not exceeded. 9. Applications should be submitted as early as possible in the year. A first application for a conveyance allowance on behalf of an eligible pupil ,,,,ill be granted from a date not earlier than the first school day of the term in which the application is made by the parent. 10. When a pupil eligible to receive a conveyance allowan~ uses more than one means of transport (rail and bus, tram and bus, etc.). the allowance may be made only for the transport involving the greater fare unless the distance travelled by each form of transport is alleast 4.8 kilometres one way. II. Full advantage must be taken of any concessions in fares that are available. A pupil travelling by railways or tramways transport must purchase a term ticket. Wherever practicable a pupil must use railways transport. 12. A pupil granted the allowance in a previous year will continue to receive payment without re-applying each year provided the place of residence, mode of transport. and the school <lttended remain unchanged. J 3. An allowance (a) (b) (c) (d) cannot be paid on behalf of a pupilover the ageof21 years; not undertaking full-time day course (exception cannot made for a pupil desiring tuition in special subjects); travelling intermittently or only at weekends; who is married, be 14. If a pupil changes his address during the school-year, the Department may grant an allowam.'e for the remainder of th<ll particular year only, even though the school all ended may not be the nearest appropriate school to the nt'w address. 15. The Department should be immediately inl()fmed of the name and the dale of last attendance of any pupil receiving an allowance who leaves should before the end of the ye.H. Any change of addrcss should be immediately rcportl'd tn the Dl'partment. together with the datc of such change. **Section 3 is particularly relev ••nt to students from Prcparatory College 10 Bundoora, whu arc transferring TRIPS HARRIETVlLLE TRIP On the final day of the holidays, while the rest of the school was preparing for the beginning of second term, Form Four were busy commencing a five-day trip to Harrietville. We travelled in buses via Benalla.Wangaratta and arrived at Harrietville at about 5 o'clock. The rest of the day was spent in familiarizing ourselves with the new surroun. dings, and generally settling in. Over the next few days we visited some very interesting places, such as The Kiewa Hydro Electric Scheme. We experienced a fact.filled guided tour over the plant which was some 400 feet underground. We saw generators, and the huge turbines, through which water is forced under great pressure, causing the turbines to spin rapidly. A day was set aside for the climbing of Mt. Feathertop, the second highest mountain in Victoria, at whose base the town of Harrietville is situated. It started out as a fine morning, but we had not been going half an hour before it started to rain. But no turning back. We would walk - rain, hail or shine. We were to follow a steep, zig.zagging trail for seven miles up, and seven miles down. The first resting place was a hut - one mile from the top. Only eighteen people got there, four went even further. FORM 2 GRAMPIANS TRIP While the Room 23 went on a bus trip around Victoria, Room 24, led by Brother Mooney hiked their way around the Grampians. The first stage of our trip was by bus from school to Spencer Street and by train to Stawell. We made very good time on our walk on Tuesday, but our camp that night was very bad because of the rain. Everybody's clothes, tents and sleeping bags were soaked. We had to light a big fire in a hollow tree to dry our sleeping bags. That night's camp site was the best of all. The ground was covered with pine needles and the trees helped to keep the rain out. Next morning we went to McKenzie Fallshere there was a kiosk and we bought a supply of edible food. At Baroca Lookout we all had a marvellous view of the clouds which were below us. After many minutes of trying to see the valley below (unsuccessfully), we decided to see what the Valley looked like on a postcard. All that day, all we could think of was Hall's Gap and the take.away food depart. ment of the local store. Next morning a bus collected us and took us to Stawell station where we caught the train for home. Thanks to Brother Mooney, Mr. Buykx, Mr. Ellul and Mr. Harvey.Hall for taking us on the trip. WESTERN DISTRICT TRIP Room 23 this year made a trip through the Western District of Victoria and into South Australia. We left school early and travelled through Geelong, Colac and Camper. down. The highlight of the trip was our visit to the Naracoote Caves, where we saw the Fossil Cave. Here there were fossils of many extinct animals. We continued after this on to Hall's Gap. At Zumsteen's we got out of the bus and fed the kangaroos by hand. We arrived home tired and looked forward to a home-cooked meal. TASMANIA At the beginning of this year, the teachers of Form 3 suggested a tour of Tasmania. The idea was discussed among staff, students and parents and it was agreed that we go sometime in the third term. The night over was very smooth and we landed at Launceston at 9.55. We boarded t~vocoaches and were driven around Launceston, stopping at various places that offered views of the town. Lunch was at the 1s1. Basin, Cataract Gorge. We spent a couple of hours there and then departed for Hobart, travelling down via the Midland Highway and passing through various historic towns. On Monday we departed early for an inspection of Port Arthur, a very ineresting piece of Australian history. After lunch we viewed some of the coastline around Eaglehawk Neck, including The Blowhole, Tasman's Arch and The Devil's Kitchen. We left Snug on Tuesday and stopped off in Taroona, five miles South of Hobart, and had a look at the Shot Tower and a model Tudor Village, built on a table by a man crippled with polio. After lunch we met with the other coach and we went for a cruise on lhe Derwent River, viewing the harbour and the damaged Tasman Bridge. Wednesday morning we inspected the Hydro-electric Power Station at Liungapoota and then on to Cradle Mountain.Lake St., Clair National Park for lunch. On Thursday we were taken for an inspection of the open-eut mine owned by the Mount Lyell Mining Company. It was quite interesting to see the way in which the mine operated. We then went on to Zeehan, where we viewed the Mining Museum there. We had lunch in the HeJlyier Gorge area and then made our way up the coast, passing through U~rnic and Ulverston. till we came to Devonpot where we boarded the Empress of Australia at six o'clock. DEBATING H.S.C. STYLE Back in 1975 there were two 'rival' debating teams co""xisting within the hallowed 'bluestone-brownbrick' walls of Parade; they were the Parade Form 5's and the E.R.C. Form 5's. These debaters did not know it, but soon Fate (and a shortage of speakers) would bring their teams together as ooe for their grand assault upon the A-Grade debating of the D.A.V. schools' competition. The Parade "Form 6 Debaters" includeCaptain Alan "Killer" Sunderland; Ferminao de Sousa; Maurice Ryan' Larry Hude, and 'official' chairman & honorary team member, Stephen McAnulty. Last year, as two separate teams, we met with teams from Fitzroy High, Aquinas Girls' College, Ringwood, and SI. Leo's, Box Hill. This year, debating in a different section, we debated against students from M.L.C., Sienna Convent, Aquinas Boys' College and Lowther Church of England Girls' Grammar School. The experience of debating doesn't just consist of getting up enough nerve to stand up in front of an audience, but rather it carries through to after the debate. One of the most enjoyable parts of a 'debating evening' is talking with students of Fmm Five Debalcrs-Paradc/ Dcni .• Daly. PO,lUlGleesnn. E.R.C. Frank Oddi. P.,1ul Da~lish. your own age from other schools and listening to their views of issues, and in general just yarning and getting to know them. This is an especially good experience since we debated with a variety of schools and were able to meet some very different people. Although the Form 6 team did not reach the finals, the debating "experience" was well worth it for the teaching it gave us outside the classroom. F. de SOUSA 'VOICE OF YOUTH' Voice of youth is a speaking competition open to any secondary student in Australia. It is run by the Rostum Club and its aim is to promote public speaking in Australia. hmn Six Debaters Alan Sunderland, Mallril'l' Ryan. The idea to get up and talk in a room of strange people scared me at first. However, fear is easily overcome, Larry Hude, Fermiano de Sousa, perhaps I should say just, overcome.ll is replaced by satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment. The competition allowed me to express a point of view that I feel was being neglected. My eight minute talk consisted of a defence for the drop out from society and an attack on our complacence centred around material wealth. I was overjoyed at qualifying for the Victorian final. Together with Fermiano Desousa we represented Parade and the Northern district of Melbourne in the Victorian final. Fortune cast its happy glance on me again and I became the Victorian representative in the National finals. Winning Form I:iw Lkbatl'rs-P:Jr:Il1l' I Sham' (iH'en, Russl'll h'slil'. RU}!l'r Rassoul. the Victorian fmal also meant a win of $50, a trip to Canberra and a set of Webster dictionaries. Fermiano Desousa was placed second. The judges informed me that their reasons for their choice was the naturalness of my speech. I was told that Rostrum Club promotes public speaking not acting. In the National finals I was lucky enough to obtain second place. First place in the open section went to a Western Australian boy who won a set of Encyclopedia 8ritanica for his efforts. In the under sixteen, it was a girl also from Western Australia who won a gold watch. Even if I hadn't made it past the Parade finals I would still have enjoyed the competition and I encourage every student to participate in the contes t next year.

Vet the Blessing and Official Opening of the Be, J, S. Nash Library on Sunday, 24th October, 1976, was not an anticlimax. Lowering clouds, ancient trees, buildings shrouded in gloomy, yet oddly intense light from a fitful sun, made the scene one to remain in one"s memory as the guests assem. bled for the procession to the dais for "the Official ceremony. The general impression was one of mixed professions as the Archbishop of Melbourne, the Most Reverend T. F. Little, STD. blessed the Library, after walking in procession behind the Cross bC<Jrer and acolytes from the student body. On I he dais was Senator. the Honourable J.

Now, with a Government Grant of $108,000 and the generous support of the Old Paradians, the Parade Fathers' Association and the parents 0 f the boys, the Brother J. S. Nash Library is a reality. Under the guidance of the Headmaster, Rev. Brother F.1. McCarthy, in close consultation with the Architect, Mr. Rene Stella, the future students of Parade should rise to great heights of achievement in the joys of scholarship and breadth of at tainment.

After an enthusiastic meeting in the early days of March, it was decided that Parade's student paper of the past - the "Bluestone Pile" - was to remain there. A new face was to appear at the College - that of the Kaiser. The scope of a school paper produced by students is most certainly a limited one. However, we felt that we were able to explore most avenues available to us. Our thought.provoking subjects dealt with every subject from beards to ballroom dancing. In producing a students' paper we firstly attempted to rebuild an essential part of College life. It was felt that the death of the "Pile" two years ago left a noticeable gap as regards student participation. Secondly, we tried to provide an outlet for the artistic and journalistic talents of the student body for there is indeed a vast wealth of untapped talent. The staff of Kaiser went through a major change half way through the school year. The sixth form students on staff, Maurice Ryan, Stephen Smith, Stephen McAnulty, Alan Sunderland and John Giddens - felt thaUheir full attentions must be devoted to study. This left fifth form students - Roger Rassool and Shane Green, and the new members of staff Russell Leslie, John V. Murphy, Ron Coon and Ken Thompson, to carryon the growing concern. Peter Meehan, our resident artist, was to provide us with a continual supply of first-rate material throughout the year. Special thanks must go to Brother Peters, Mrs. O'Neill, Mr. Dave Thomas and Chris Doyle fOT their undying support and help in production. It is hoped that Kaiser will indeed be continued and extended in 1977. SHAi'l1EGREEN Cartoons by P. Meehan.

Mr. Graeme Marshall from the School of Interdepartmental Studies of Melbourne University officially opened the Exhibition on Friday evening at 8 p.m. From the intimacy of the school corridors and classrooms of the 1975 show, the 1976 display saw a change to the Parade lIall, where space was available for a better appreciation of paintings, crafts, jewellery, leatherwork and porcelain art. Spotlights shone on hundreds of paintings and artists were represented from many parts of Australia. The guests on Friday evening gathered in happy mood, the gay frocks of the ladies, the works of art, champagne flowing, chicken being nibbled, pleasant conversation and an atmosphere to be remembered. of enjoyment amongst beautiful things made an occasion The Art Show Committee, Mesdames D. Turner, President, E. Robinson, D. Hempen. stall, K. Aitken, M. Sheather, M. Scott, E. Moroney and S.

The members of the Parade Fathers' Association also gave whole hearted support. The weekend attendances were excellent, amI gave this observer an extra opportunity to browse amongst the exhibits.

He is particularly remembered at Parade College for his outstanding service on the fathers committee and especially for his great contribution as a worker at the school fetes which were conducted for many years. Leo possessed two outstanding qualities during his life. Firstly a deep faith given to him by his Irish background and developed by his devotion, sincerity and Inve of family and secondly undeviating loyalty to friends and causes which he espoused. He did everything without fuss but with a determination to get on with the job.

On July 9th, 1976 a very distinguished Old Paradian passed tu his eternal reward. To his family we extend our deepest sympathy. Leo identified himself with the Old Paradians Association soon after leaving school by joining the Football club. He played with great success and acltieved the coveted honour of Captain of the team. He gave outstanding service as, committee man and President of the G.P.A. His leadership qualities won for him the position of Secretary of John McNamara & Co. Ud. and earned for him high esteem in the commercial world. He served on the O.P.A. Executive until 1970 when he wa'i promuted as Area Manager of Australian Estates Ltd., in Shepparton. May he rest in peace. EDMUND RICE AND PARADE Quite often when I stand in the tuck-shop line on Mondays (the only day when I have any money), a boy I've never seen before will look at me and say uYou're the debater", or, more recently, "You're the kid that got up and made a fool of himself at line-up that day". My initial reaction is usually to offer him a gob-stopper, but upon consideration incidents like these do have some merit. The improvement lies in the fact that, last year, I was more usnally known (if at all) as "a Juvenate boy". Similarly, anyone who achieved recognition had this pluase tacked on to him; for instance, Michael Proctor was praised last year for being a member of the 1st XVIlI and the Sixth Form Council "especially since he's from the Juvenate". Ken O'Neil received much the same labelling process when he was selected in the cricket team. While not criticising this, it is nice to know that we are slowly dispensing with the need for such a "nota bene" to be added. I suppose everyone is destined to journey through life with various labels attached to him, whether the labels are accurate or not. But the good thing that has occurred this year is that, instead of the labels being .'Juvenate-madc" they are "vice-captain", "debater" or "twit" as the situation may warrant. So perhaps the "merger" of Edmund Rice College and Parade is now complete. Instead of being a Juvenate maniac, I can now rejoice in being a plain, ordinary maniac. ALAN SUNDERLAND OLD PARADIANS PARADE FATHERS' ASSOCIATION A number of Old Paradians performed well in the sporting field during the year. At Easter, ALLAN POLLOCK, who was the Champion Athlete of the School in 1966, won the famous Stawell Gift for professional running, Allan, an engineering graduate, is a former member of the Old Paradian Athletic Team. "The changes that are occurring in society are creating new needs and placing new demands on us alt, not the least affected is the field of Catholic Education. The Mothers' and Fathers' Associations are seeking ways to meet some of these needs and demands, and we would appreciate your assistance in this endeavour". The above introduction will be familiar to this year's parents of boys at Parade, as they were taken from a letter signed by the Headmaster, and the Presidents of both the Mothers' and Fathers' Associations. The letter was an invitation to all parents to participate more fully in the life of the College by helping the staff, with as many odd jobs, special projects and fund raising functions, in order to assist the financial resources of the College. As a result of the letter, to which nearly 300 rep~cswere received, a permanent card system has been established, and will be expanded each year to include new parents ana theIr areas of mterest. It IS hoped that io the years ahead the system will prove useful to all concerned with the running of the College. Following on the pattern of last year's Committee, 29 members elected at a General Meeting in March were grouped into Sub-committees under the headings of Master Plan, Plalllling and Co-ordinating, Building and Maintenance, Sportsmen's Night and general activities. The Building and Maintenance Committee of ten divided its energies between maintenance of the grounds, improvement of Edmund Rice School rooms for use of forms I and II, general cleaning of all windows in the college, and a major overhaul of the gym. Although the Sportsmen's Night for 1976 did not quite achieve the success which was anticipated after the 1975 function, it was a financial success, and welded together a group of fathers who look forward to 1977 in keen anticipation of the challenge to improve the social and financial success of our committee. OLD PARA DIAN: MR. V. J. STELLA Mr. V. J. Stella, studied at Leaving and Matricolation level at Parade College, East Melbourne. He matriculated in 1%4 and then obtained his Pharmacy Degree from Melb. ourne in 1968, and worked for one year as a Pharmacist at the Bendigo Base Hospital. He travelled to the University of Kansas, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1971, Ph.D. (pharmaceutical Chemistry). lie then worked during 1971-73 (incl.) at the University of Illinois Medical Centre in Chicago as Assistant Professor and since 1973 has been Assistant and Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Kansas. His main research interest is in drug development a and those factors which affect the time profile of drugs in the body, i.e. the absorption, distribution and elimination of drugs from the body. I He ,isited Parade College, Bundoora, on 3rd June, 1976 and addressed the H.S.C. classes. lie was also Guest speaker at the Celtic Clob for the Old Paradians' Luncheon in Junc. The Planning committee was responsible for the introduction of the card system referred to above, and the geoeral Activities' Committee provided fathers for help with the College Family Night, Art Show, Library Opening, Speech Night, and functions run by the student body. During the year, the Fathers' Association conducted an appeal for the library and when going to print this amount was $10.000.00. At the official opening of the library we were honoured to be asked to provide a Chairman for the ceremony to propose a vote of thanks to the guests and to extend the scope of our appeal beyond the parent body. Last, but not least, 1976 saw complete co-operation with the Ladies' Auxiliary and the introduction of combined circulars and a working together at all functions. May I offer my sincere thanks to all members of the Committees for their spirit of co-operation and to all fathers who have helped me during 1976. P. !lEDGER PRESIDENT On 4th June this year, CONSTABLE MICHAEL PRATT, a young policeman stationed at Heidelberg, was wounded when he attempted to prevent the A.N.Z. Bank in Clifton Hill from being robbed. The incident received wide coverage in the media and Constable Pratt received great praise from many quarters for his heroic actions. Constable Pratt is a former student of this College. He commenced at Parade Preparatory College in 1964 where he entered Grade 4 and then he came to Bundoora where he stayed until 1970, having completed Form IV. He then went to Preston Technical College where he began an accounting course. In 1973 he decided to join the Police Cadets and graduated in March 1974 at the Glen Waverley Police Academy. Russell Street was his first posting and from there he wenl to the City Traffic Branch. Since January, 1975 he has been stationed at Heidelberg Police Station. A visiting police Careers' Officer first gave Constable Pratt the idea of joining the Police Force when he was in Form III. The Pratt family has had long connections with Parade - Michael's older brother Peter attended the school and two younger brothers, Mark and Danny are still at Parade Prep. Constable Pratt who is 22 and married, was badly wounded during the hold.up and spent two weeks in hospital - part of this period he spent in intensive care. Parade College congratulates Constable Pratt on his courageous actions. PRIEST & BROTHERS' VISIT During June we once again were part of a long.standing Parade tradition. This was the day upon which we were visited by some of our former students who had dedicated their lives to religious vocations. Father Michael Mifsud, who was ordained in May, concelebrated Mass with the school chaplain Father Gordon Gebbie for the whole school body. Father Mifsud attended Parade Preparatory College and then proceeded to East Melbourne before moving to Heidelberg High to complete his secondary education. In December last year, three Old Paradians made their final vows to become Christian Brothers. Fortunately two of these men were able to attend the Mass. BROTHER FRANCIS FITZGERALD attended both East Melbourne and Bundoora before going to Mater Dei at Lower Plenty. Brother FitzGerald is stationed in Sydney and was able to make the trip down for the occasion. BROTHER ROSS MONT ALTO who is teaching at Cathedral College, came to Parade, East Melbourne, from St. Joseph's. Abbotsford. BROTHER EDWARD DOWLAN. another former East Melbourne student, is now teaching at Warrnambool. lIe, unfortunately. was unable to attend. Presentations were made to our guests by representatives of the College and by the Old Paradians' Association We wish these men all the best for the future in their vo~ations ROBERT HYDE, who was Captain of the College in 1972, won the Copeland Trophy for the Best & Fairest player at Collingwood. Robert received a very serious knee injury last year and missed a number of games, but he still managed to come second in the Award. It was thought that he would be unable to play this year because of the injury, but he surprised many people by fighting back and playing the whole season. Two other former students were members of the Collingwood Reserve side which won the V.F.L. Premiership. They were - SHANE BOND and KERRY FOLEY. CRAIG CONSIDINE played a number of games for Collingwood Reserves during the year and was named as a reserve in the Grand Final side. Other former students doing well in V.F.L. ranks arc GRAHAM ALLAN, at Fitzroy and former Brownlow Medallist, PETER BEDFORD. at South Melbourne. RELIGIOUS AND ECUMENICAL One of the experiences in Form Five Religious Education was a visit to two neighbouring churches - the Church uf England at Greensburough, where Rev. Peter Moss shared the values that he sees his church having in common with us Cathulics, and the Uniting Church at Greensborough where Rev. Bill Craven took some heavy questioning about the nature of the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches. Both men, dedicated to the bringing of the Good News to all men, gave us much hope for greater understanding between the various Christian groups. R.J.PETERS E. R.C. However, nubody could help but be moved by the Eucharist on the fmal night when we all joined as one to make the one Common Prayer - for a beller world. Aworld that wuuld see the passing of starvation, hatred, war and racial intolerance. In the old hall-lit by a solitary altar candle - the group gave a public demonstration of their faith in God, love in uur felluw man and respect for the human dignity of others as individuals. Brother Peters, truly a friend to every lad, provided the supervision, help and co-<>peration to ensure the efficient running of the camp. Indeed, I considered it an hunour to be present. As I watched twenty-seven young people rekindle and restate their faith in the Lord, my faith in the future of the wurld was restored. VISITING OUR NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOURS The Janefield Colony - a foreboding term - a place where tillee hundred people are cared for; people who are different because they are physically and intellectually handicapped. They are luved by men and women who gu far beyond a cold professionalism to give from their deep compassion and empathy. And so, it has been a privilege to share in this caring because, although we Paradians give what we can, much more has been returned in the joy, love and affection ufyoung boys and girls who do not have the capacity to absorb life as we can. Louking back to my first day at Janefield, I remember being uverwhelmed with nausea at the sight of a little mongoloid girl. Some of my mates couldn't eat for the rest of that day. But for some reason, we kept going and it has been worth it. Not an endurance to hold a deformed person, but a joy to learn from a lovable and loving brother who is different. R. J. PETERS AN APPRECIATION OF SANTA MONICA RETREATAUGUST 4th, 5th, 6th, by GRAHAM WALSH, (Sec., A.J.A.) Mass by candle-light was the deeply moving culininalion of the Form V retreat held at Santa Monica near Lome in August. Despite dull, wet weather it was a great spiritual success and a wonderful exercise in human relations. Father Kevin Hennessy of the Passionists quickly identified with the twenty-seven students and develuped a cluse rappurt with his friendly understanding which encouraged a close involvement and participation by all. Three days of prayer. discussion and personal contact on a close, though informal, level increased the religious understanding uf each persun, and helped develop them to a fullness of life with Christ as the centre. All of the yuung people reacted differently. Some were intense; some quiet; some happy-go-lucky; some reticent; some apparently indifferent; and some appeared almost afraid to show their real feelings. FORM 5 CAMPS: RETREATS Form Five students had two camps during the year the fust in February and the second in early August. The purpose of the first camp was mainly to enjoy being together and to develop friendships. The Form five students were divided into Six groups of 25 for their religious education classes and went on the first camp in these groups. New students to Parade found it a great help and most setmed to enjoy the experience and find it profitable. Some went to beach areas, Ocean Grove, and Silver Creek. The teachers ran the activities on the camps and most of the groups cooked their own food. At each site a priest came to celebrate the Eucharist and spend some time with us. The August camps were more retreat-style and students were given the choice of whether or nol to go and also the type of retreat they would like tu go un. A small group chose to go to the Cistercian Monastery at Tarrawarra where the emphasis was on individual prayer and praying the office with the Monks. The boys enjoyed the farm selling, although the weather made things a little more difficult because the dining room and bedrooms were a fair distance apart. Chess was a popular recreation. There w<jssome confusion at times whether people should have been playing chess or praying, and the 'ghost' who appeared about midnight definitely wasn't intended to be part of the retreat. SILVER CREEK: Fr. Jim Macklin gave the retreat at Silver Creek. The emphasis was definitely on the retreat side of things, but there was plenty of fun and TONY EXTON didn't seem to mind too much being 'stirred' by Fr. Jim. The highlight uf the retreat was the Eucharist we celebrated un the final day. We had the Eucharist in the log cabin with a fIre going in the big open fireplace. The music was provided by JOHN MURPHY and TONY EXTON and certainly helped us to sing loudly. The Eucharist was a real sharing of our hopes and our faith. PRINCIPAL'S REPORT The year 1976 began with many new faces among staff and boys. Brothers C. M. Adams, T. Giles, and D. Walsh replaced Brothers V.Howell (the former Headmaster), T. O'Shannassy and F. Cauchi, while Mr. G. Carter replaced Mrs. D. Moloney. Mr. C. Lane came on the PRIMARY staff as a part-time member. During the year the boys have contributed to many charities with tremendous thoughtfulness of others needs, both financially and physically. Br. E. Duckworth is to be congratulated as the driving force behind many of these ventores. We have grossed well over $2000 this year for the Missions and other charitable works. Congratulations boys! The traditional School Mass to ask God's Blessings on the School year was offered by the College Chaplin, Rev. Fr. V. Halloran in the Church of Mary Immaculate on February 13th. During the year we have tried to help the boys be spiritually minded by groups of Priests coming to care for their needs, but unfortunately due to various parochial duties, I feel it was not frequent enough. May I tender my thanks to Rev. Fr. W. Casey, Parish Priest of Alphin~ton for the organisation of these tcams of Priests. We have tried to cover as many of the facets of education as possible during the year. Besides the basic sobjects, boys have visited other schools, museums, galleries, different modes of employment and many other places in order to widen their general knowledge. Speech, too, is well catered for in the College under the guidance of Mr. F. Russell who was one of the staff responsible for the Drama Night being so successful on July 9. Mr. W. Bottriell brought to the fore the singing lalent in the College, preparing the boys for our own competition and representation at the Heidelberg Music Festival. Our sincere thanks goes to Mrs, B. Bibby for her time spent accompanying the choirs on all occasions. Guitar playmg is becoming popular in the College under the tutelage of Mr. T. Bainsbridge. Hopefully, the boys interest in playing musical instruments will continue, as it will be invaluable in years to come. We welcomed back to the College on July 14th, Rev. Fr. M. Mifsud who was ordained this year. We offered him Ollr best wishes and pr<lY that God will bless his work. With him 011 that day wus Br. F. Fillgcrald who was finally professed last Christmas. As a boy's interest in normal school activity is reflected in his interest in all aspects of school life, we have tried to have all boys take part in the many sports catered for in the College. Unfortunately, some have dodged this issue and in most cases we have seen a decline in their attitude to class work and in some cases poor results. On the Sporting field. the College has had varying grades of success. Our Under 11 A and B teams won their way to the Finals of the Football Competition with the A Team sharing the honours with Marcellin College. We havc won sevcral Finals of the Tennis due to the drive ofBr. Duckworth. Our Basketballers have been quite successful under the enthusiastic coaching of Miss P. Rooney and Br. T. Giles. Our better Swimmers and Athletes joined Parade Bundoora to be well represented in the A.C.C. Swimming and Athletic Carnivals. Our sincerest thanks to all those parents who helped to cater for the various teams, assistant coaches and managers of Football and Cricket teams and the many Parents who put themselves out to drive the teams of all sports to the various venues. During the year we lost the scrvices of Mrs. Fran Kennedy, the little lady behind the scene, known and loved by all for her ever cheerful smile and word. Unfortunately, due to ill heallh, she was forced into retirement. We welcome in her place Mr. and Mrs. R. Newton to whom we wish a long and happy association with the College. Due to the very successful Barbccue Night of the Parents and Friends, we were able to seal and reseal a large area of the school grounds. This success was largely due to the enthusiasm of the Barbecue Committee under the leadership of Mr. Stan Given. The Fathers' Comnuttee, ably led by Mr. Greg Dunlop must be thanked for their tireless efforts during the year. For their advice at all times - the Father/Son Sports Night _ thw quarterly get togethers - the fishing weekend. The College thanks them for providing the Video equipment, now being used to help in many facets of our education. It is through the activities of thc Fathers' Committee and the Ladies' Auxiliary that we have been able to carry out the many repairs necessary to the Main Building and the Brothers' Monastery. To date, the house is being painted inside and out and the kitchcn renovated. Attempts have been made to halt the movement in the main building and plans are in action to paint and carpet the main building. We are well advanced in preparations for a new Primary scction coupled with updating the Art and [jbrary facilities. I would like to pay tribute to thc Ladies' Auxiliary under the presidency of Mrs. Margaret Fleming, for the enthusiastic support they have given me at all times, be it making curtains. providing more tables and even stepping into our kitchen in our times of need. My congratulations to them for their many successful ventures during the year - Dinner Dance, Wine-Tasting, Square Dance, Luncheon, Progressive Dinne"r,Theatre morning, Fashion Parade and so many other activities. The work of the Auxiliary has been twofold in value - a social get-together for the Mothers and Friends and at the same time provided revenue for the many odd items required by the College. Allied to the Auxiliary, we thank the marvellously patient group of Tuckshop Mothcrs who provided such an important facility during the year. Particularly do we thank Mrs. E. Breeding and her Mother Mrs. Shaw for their services in the early morning. 1 now wish to pay tribute to the Staff. Br. E. Duckworth for his guidance on the traditions of the College, Br. I. Giles for his work in Grade 6 Blue and recorder groups. Br. D. Walsh for his enthusiastic guidance of Grade 5. I thank these three for their Fraternal charity and support in Community. I thank the lay staff of the College; Mr. W. Bottriell for his wise advice in time of need, Mr. I. Bibby for his tireless efforts on the sports fields, Mr. G. Carter for his work in Form I, Miss P. Rooney for her enthusiasm in Grade 6 Green and all her other interests from Basketball to Soap Box Derbies, Mrs. G. Vcrmont for hcr work in the Library and Art, Mr. C. Lanc for his assistance in the Primary Classes, Mr. J. Foster for his efforts to organise the P.E., the Tennis Coaches, John and Jim Reddock, Mr. F. Russell for the Speech, Mr. B. Allwell in the remedial work, Mr. Ron Burke for his generosity and time in looking after the accounts of the College, Messrs. F. Brandon and V. Lancaster for their efficient upkeep of the College grounds. My fInal tribute and thanks is to the office staff, Mesdames P. Twomey and L. Geary. Their efficiency and friendly co-operation in time of need have made them highly valued members of staff, esteemed not only by the teaching staff and myself, but by the many who contact the school in any way. Finally, my thanks to the Boys for their friendliness and co-operation. BROTHER C. M. ADAMS FORM 2 GREEK BACK ROW: M. Black, S. Ricchiuli, P. G.,ml, 1. Brooker. R. Carmichael, M. Brown. A. L>ollan,G.

John Childs joined us from New Zealand and was our only new face this year. We also found we were to have some new teachers. Br. Adams, our new Headmaster took maths and Biblical Studies classes, and Mr. Carter was in charge of History. In addition, we had lhe "old" teachers of 1975 - Br. Duckworth for Latin, Mr. Bibby for French and Science, and Mr. Botlriell for English, Religion and Geography. Shorlly after the commencement of school, we began weekly visits to the Swimming Pools at Northcotc and eventually Anthony Loton and Sean Swift were chosen to represent Parade in the A.C.C. Sports. Meanwhile most of us were taking part in cricket, tennis or basketball compe. titions, and enjoyed some success in all of them. In basketball, Terry Twomey was chosen to represent Victoria in lhe Under 14 CYMS team, and was a member of the successful team in Adelaide during the September holidays. Foolball occupied the free lime of about 30 of the class in Term 2, with some continuing to play basketball and tennis. With better weather this year, we were able to play rcgularly un TuesdJY afternoons and found we had some unexpected talent on the soccer field. The length of (he gamc waS often decided by the time it took to retrieve the ball from the creek! Luke Kehoe solved the problem fairly simply by falling in the creek - after we had the ball bai.:k! Meanwhile, we were able to fit a little schoolwork in, and during Term 2, \~e all had 10 stand up and give an illustrated talk for 3 minutes: for some, it seemed more like 3 hours. Others had no difficulty lasting the distance - in fact, we couldn't stop them! Stephen Tieppo, with a talk on lhe Ancient Egyptians, proved to be outstanding orator (93%) with Murray Dinan (Civil War Guns) and Paul Grant (Shotguns) following closely with 90% each. There were many others who spoke a great deal during the year, but not always at the right time! After the September holidays, we went to Tallangatla for our annual camp. The weather wasn't very kind, and our buses set offon Monday morning in drizzling rain. We arrived at the Youth Centre in Tallangalta in the midafternoon and quickly settled into the comfortable accommodation. On successive days we visited Beechworth, Falls Creek and Dartmouth Dam. The highlighl of our trips was our short visit to the snow at Falls Creek after a long bus t rip. The week passed very quickly and we are very grateful to Mr. Max Lonsdale, lhe manager of the Youth Centre, and his staff, and to Mr. Graham Scoll and Peler Prall who helped us during the Camp. As we are near the end of our final year at Alphingtoll, we offer our thanks to everyone who has assisted us to make the year a success. FURM 2 BLUE BACK ROW: A. Rosano, K. Doyle, K. Halloran. D.

Ray, CLASS NOTES - FORM 2 BLUE In 1976, the final year of our three or four years of schooling at Parade Alphington, we have participated in many sporting activities such as swimming. football, cricket, tennis and basketball. Some of the stars of the year in the in the swimming sports were R. Bartolomei, P. Bendall, C. Sassella and P. Treppo. From the football scene, there were many stars from Form 2 Blue. Tennis players, captained by P. Bendall, A. Canavan, K. Doyle, A. Rosario, J. Nakulski and J. Roberts, had many victories due to the tremendous organization of Brother Duckworth. The star runners of Form 2 Blue were A. Jooes, J. Scott aod P. Wyatt. We were lucky enough during the year to have a visit from Br. Darcy who taught us about the conditions in Canada and we also had a reconciliation Mass run by Fr. HaHoran. In the third term the camp was the highlight because we tried to live together in a truly Christian way and we studied the environment ofTallangatta region. We wish to thank Br. Adams, Mr. Bottriell, Mr. Scott and Peter Pratt for making our camp such a successful week. Also during the third term, most boys have been working hard to obtain a scholarship. Finally, we wish to thank t he staff for the outstanding job they did throughout the year - it was much appreciated. C. SASSELLA P. PIKa J. NAKULSKI Sports.wise, we had some outstanding members. Philip Love and Maurice Roda were captains of basketball teams; Paul Franz captain of a tennis team; and Timothy Nelson and Edward Flynn lead cricket toams. Paul Thorpe was our star cross country runner. Some Special Awards:Comedian and Artist (Apes, mostly) Stephen Hall. The Quiet Ones (???):- John De Angelis and Gregory Barnes. (Oh - for a sound proof cell!). The Bugler:- Steven Bugler:- Steven Lawler (has one inbuilt). The Microphone Boys:- Stephen Fumei, Leigh Hewatt and Stephen Petty (No wonder it never works). The Early Birds:- Edward Flynn and Stephen Hall. The Banker:- (usually bankrupt) Peter Stackpole. One final boast. We have a fine mission record for 1976. We arc aiming at, or near, $1000 for the year. Our thanks to all our teachers, Mrs. Toomey and Mrs. Geary for putting up with us. We hope to see most of you in 1977. During the year some of our class have been taught the guitar by Mr. Terry Bainbridge. We hope the "Strummers" will entertain us lalcr this year. CONTRIBUTORS:- Peter Stackpole, Alfred Romeno, Patrick Lewis, Andrew Perri, Leigh Hewatt, Philip Love, Jamie Fleming, Tim Nelson, Stephen Fumei, Tim Donahue. Gerard McIntyre, Michael King, Greg Barber, Paul Villanti and Mark Henderson. CLASS NOTES FORM 1 GREEN - 1976 On settling down to our first year in Secondary School we discovered some changes. Miss Rooney and Brother O'Shannassey had mixed up their last year's sixth grades and so some "gangs" were split. We also had to become accustomed to teachers changing for various periods. We found we had a very ducky Class Master. Amoog the old hands were a few new faces:- Danny StcceD, Anthony Barry and John De Angelis (or should it be Diabolis?). We discovered the '10y" of the French language, but we don't think we are the joy of the French Master, Mr. Bibby. Mr. Carter, our English Master, thinks our English would gain high marks as French. Jamie Fleming enjoys Brother Adams' Biblical Studies as it gives him a chance to snatch 40 winks. As an aid to learning, we had several "educational" trips - one to Heidelberg Technical School to sec an aborigines display; and another to the Melbourne Museum. Some of the highlights of the year were the camp at Swan Hill (we had to put up with FORM I BLUE) which was most enjoyable, especially when Richard Hehir, Anthony Evans and others were slightly scared by a ''Ghost'' - which was in fact a Ghost Gum. Trevor Given now knows what boomerangs do. The boomerang did come back and even. tually Trevor's voice also. We think that one of the purposes of the camp was achieved, namely to hclp blend us together as Christian boys. The highlight of the camp was the visit to the Pioneer Settlement. Paul Villanti voted the Square Dance Family night as a great success - he will probably become a Square Dance Caller - he has one of the qualifications. FORM I BLUE - CLASS NOTES Six Form One Blue boys were instrumental in winning the under thirteen tennis premiership in second term. The four boys who played in the finals were Paul Tasca, John Powell, Tim Alderman and Mark Hempenstall. BY TIM ALDERMAN We were judged by Mr. Bottriell as the best class choir in the school and so we represented our school at the Heidel. berg Town Hall. We sang "Georgie Girl" aod "Beautiful Dreamer" whilst Mrs. Bibby accompanied us on the piano. Again, on the Drama Night, we were selected by Brother Adams as the best Choir. BY BERNARD MULLANE In the first term, our Form went to Heidelberg Technical School to sec an Aboriginal display. The display was set up in a large caravan and comprised tapes, pictures, slides and tests given by compute r. BY JONOTHAN McDONALD Another excursion involved a visit to the Museum as part of our study of rocks and minerals in Natural Science. The classification of rocks was explained to us by an Education Officer. Later we wandered around and looked at the many samples on show. It was a very interesting and beneficial excursion. During this year Our furm has raised a large amount of money for the Missions and we hope to collect about S850 by the end of the year. Our daily average is about S4.50. The Form One Blue boys were well.behaved and quite helpful whilst on the annual camp to Swan Hill. The boys entered into the true spirit of camping and will benefit greatly from this exercise in community living. During the camp we visited vineyards, wineries, a rotary dairy, the Pioneer Settlement, wheat farms and a pheasant farm. We are greatly indebted to the following fathers: Messrs. Dunlop, Villanti, Buttifant, Rodgers and Given whose assistance was greatly appreciated. G. CARTER (1 BLUE MASTER) The year got off to a flying start with the new boys settling in well and the old boys seeing their friends again. Our first main piece of work was an essay based on chewing gum. Work such as Maths and Spelling was made easy with Miss Rooney's unique methods of teaching. In Maths, we did fractions till we looked like them, but it paid off with gentlemen getting 100%. Doing Science with Mr. Lane was good as we enjoyed the many experiments throughout second and third terms. We also did some research on inventors by dressing up as them and giving short talks about them. In Geography, we studied Asia and Europe - then America. To round up studying America, we all dressed up as American Characters on their Independance Day and fmished it off with corn on the cob, hot dogs and coke. of Parliament. To celebrate the American Bi-Centennary most of the class dressed in a period costume parade and enjoyed coca. cola, corn-on.the-eob and hot dogs. The prize winners were, Stephen Beech, Dan Hogg, Dan Pratt, Greg Jakubic, Peter O'Connell and Greg Croke. On the feast uf the Sacred Heart, we generously can. tributed food and clothing to the poor of Melbourne and attended the Poorman's Mass at the Cathedral. An invi. tation for most of us was the "6 Blue Grand Prix", from the front gate, down Old Heidelberg Road to the ovals. With a brilliant burst of speed down the incline the team of Peter Roberts and Michael Loftus fmished first in a time of 15.4 seconds. Our class was not very noted for its sporting endeavours this year, for we learnt how to accept defeat by other classes and schools, namely in cricket and Australian Rules. Perhaps this was the reason most of us were turning to basketball by the third tenn. A major highlight were our camps. The camp at Silver Creek in May was highly successful, with beautiful weather and plenty of activity. We were in five groups and the group leaders were Dan Pratt, John Abrahams, Craig Edwards, Dan Gleeson and Barry Williams. In the camp situation we leamt how to closely co-operate with each other as well as finish our chores properly. Generally everyone was very happy this year with a sound basis in life laid down for our future. BROTHER T. GILES For Environmental Studies, we went on many excursions the main one being to Parliament House where we were shown through the Upper and Lower Houses. On Drama Night, we performed a play called "Hiss the VilIain", which was most successful. We Studied the Olympics in Montreal and performed our own Mini Olympics which was a lot of fun. To end an enjoyable second term, we had a monster party. The biggest highlight was our camp at Wilson's Prom. ontory though we had to come home 3 days early because we got completely washed out. On behalf of Miss Rooney and the boys of 6 Green, we would like to thank all the parents who have helped us throughout the year. D.JONES D.FLYNN D.JACKSON D.SMITH M.HUGLIN H.HATTON 6 BLUE CLASS NOTES We enjoyed an exciting year with Brother Giles and achieved many things. From the beginning we found new friends to be made and there were many activities in which to take part. Our classwork slowly improved but by the third term many maths and spelling results were quite high. Other interesting areas of our classwork were in social science in which we carried out detailed studies and projects of Indonesia, China, Canada, U.S.A., and a special study on Red Indians. Finally in the third term we studied the origins GRADE FIVE CLASS NOTES - 1976 This year in Grade 5 we had a very enjoyable time doing lots of activities. The year started off well with everyone making new friends. When everyone settled down we really got stuck into the work. In March we went to the "Herald Moomba Art Show" with the Grade 6's and the primary teachers. The second term saw a great deal of activity for grade 5. Football became a big thing and the UIII team, made up mostly of Grade 5 boys, were equal premiers in the CJ .S.A. At a class level we played against two schools. We defeated St. Martins Rosanna, 20.1 2 to 1.4 and also St. Thomas' Clifton Hill 10.6 to 6.8. During the second term we went into town and saw the film, "Battle of Midway". Third term saw us down at Shoreham for the annual school camp. Unfortunately it rained for the first four days of our camp, but we still had a good time. We played table tennis most of the time and had a class championship. We were lucky to be able to visit the Flinders Navy Gunnery Range and be present as an officer .explained how the guns work. While we were there they fired guns for practice. At the end of the year we went to the Brothers' Novitiate at Lower Plenty for an end of year picnic.

The March weather was not too kind to us and the wind whipped up quite a few white-caps, and swimmers were able to swim with the tide. The four House teams, Bodkin, Treacy, Lynch and Hughes competed for the Scott Shield. Bodkin emerged as the victorious team and BRIAN NEESON, the captain, received the trophy, appropriately enough, from Mr. Ken Scott who joined the staff this year.

Football title came to Parade this year after a drought of thirteen years. The team which gained the proud honour of A.C.C. CHAMPIONS was one of the biggest and most mobile ever in the history of the College. The results of the Best SHANE WIGNEY: CRAIG CONSIDINE: BRIAN HYDE: ROSS CONSIDiNE: DAVID NATOLI: In his earlier years at Parade the writers often heard teachers and students taile of school spirit; this year they were privileged to experience the reality at first hand. Explanations are useless to anyone who has not enjoyed the company of a dedicated group under the tuition of Brother Kevin Stewart, a coach in the Ron Barassi mould, led by two brilliant footballers in SHANE WIGNEY (Captain) and CRAIG CONSIDINE (Vice-Captain) and backed up by talented players who were so determined to win. The team spirit was never more evident than when the tide of the game was running against us. Several times defeat appeared imminent (e.g. at Essendon, Malvern, Ballarat and Hamilton) but fierce determination changed players from being moderate to brilliant. The last quarter of the last game produced a finale worthy of as fine a schoolboy team as one could ever wish to .see. It is a tradition in annual reports to look at each player individually, but because individualism was not tolerated in the team, so the commentary will be directed at groups: BACK LINE: The tightness of this line IS reflected in the ~ limited totals scored against them. PETER O'CONNELL, ---./-./~'--/"-.-\. TONY COSMA, BRIAN GRILLS, STEPHEN DE GRAAF ,-/ TONY SMITH, STEVE CROWLEY, PAUL ANGUS were j rj dedicated and brilliant defenders whose long kicks sent the 'J ball well into the forward line. '\ CENTRE LINE: Wingmen STEPHEN EXTON, DA V ill MIERS and STEVE BERIZZI joined with SHANE WIGNEY to make this line a winner all season. FORWARDS: DAVID NATOLI, BRIAN HYDE, ROSS CONSIDINE, STAN LEAHY, DOMINIC BIVIANO. MICHAEL OWEN, MICHAEL BECK, TERRY CALLAGHAN and GREG NANCE made the forward line admired by all spectators. Their combining together and unselfishness netted a total of 234 goals in just fifteen matches. RUCKS & ROVER~: 1no taii, S1""I~playors were CRAIG CONSIDINE, MARK WENCKOWSKI, GLENN JORDAN, BRIAN GRILLS & STEVE CROWLEY. They helped the two rovers, MICHAEL BECK and ROSS CONSIDINE show their own natural brilliance to the full. Other players to help were JOHN DINAN, MARK FRENETTE, BRIAN WILSON, DAVID SIMONELLI and MICHAEL CARROLL. \ \ t) '\.~ The assistants In the tearns were DAMIEN SCHUSTER and KEVIN JEMMESON as boundary umpires, TONY O'NEILL (goal umpire), and BRIAN LYNCH (runner). The memories of the year are many: the uesperate third quarter against De La Salle followed by the brilliant 6.5 to 004 last quarter effort; the last quarter burst of6.0 against a very determined and skilful Essendon team~ the unbelievable 3/4 time score of 13.8 to 2.9 against North Melbourne, since Parade had not defeated North for many years, the deluge of goals (13.5) in the last quarter agaInst Braybrook to fmish the season with a record breaking score of 33.26 - 224; the functions to celebrate the title win and the satisfaction of a job well done.

FIRST XI, 1976 The Eleven were not able to win the coveted A.C.C. title after hopes were raised by early promise. Two 1975 matches against North Melbourne and Braybrook saw Parade in strong positions, only to be washed out by bad weather on the second day of each match. For example. Parade dismissed North for 101 and were 0/32 at stumps. The story was the same against Braybrook. In the 1976 matches the story was the same. Against Chad stone at South Oakleigh, the opposition was dismissed for 143 and we were 2/46 with Kennedy (11 n.o.) and Considine (9 n.o.) well established. The second day was washed out. Against De La Salle a match reached a decision for the first time. Parade found a new opener when Kevin Gleeson was asked to bat with Chris Conroy and, when the innings was declared closed, had reached 100 n.o. Michael Owen's 55 was made quickly to enable the bowlers a chance to attack the De La Salle batsmen. Paul Dawson spearheaded this attack to finish with the figures of 6/34 from 12 overs. Scoring only 89, the visitors were asked to follow on and only a stubborn innings from their captain prevented an outright win to Parade. The next match against St. Bernard's College was highlighted by two partnerships of 99 and 60 from their batsmen in a total of9/21O. Both partnerships saw us miss vital chanoes. Innings of 34,64 and 50 by Ross Considine, Michael Owen and Vin Heagerty brought us close to victory, but scores of2, and 4 and 0 by the last four batsmen left our score at 199 - II runs short. The last match against East Brunswick was exciting. We made 147 thanks to 44 from Chris Conroy, the 44 n.o. by Vin Heagerty and 27 by Frank Aitken. East Brunswick made 91 in reply (Tony Smith 4/14) and after we declared at 4/87 on the second day we had them 8/73 when stumps were drawn. It had been the same story all through the season; we played wel1. but not well enough. CAPTAIN: GREG FISHER, Vice-Captain: MICHAEL OWEN_ BATTING AWARD: MICHAEL OWEN. BOWLING AWARD: ROD EBERT. UNDER 15 CRICKET 1975-76 The Under IS XI enjoyed a very successful year, as it finished runner-up to St. Bede's College, Mentone. Although Parade never actually played Mentone, Mentone won the premiership as it had recorded four wins and one outright win which we could only match with four wins. The team was capably lead by SHANE McCARTHY who consistently batted well and also won the bowling average with a remarkable effort of31 wickets for 184 runs. The side was also well served by MARTIN LUBY who won the batting average and also by FRANK G LEESON and STEPHEN CASHEN. Overall the team was very enthusiastic both off and on the field and all players can be well pleased with their efforls throughout the season. Special thanks must go to MR. JOSS who put in many hours to help get the tearn to where it was finally placed. UNDER t5 XI S. Cashen. S. Smith, P. Meehan. M. Plcming, M. Jebb. F. Gleeson. BACK: (I. to T.) SEATED: T. Todaro. P.

UNDER ISA FOOTBALL: RUNNERS.UP The Under ISA's had a very successful year, finishing equal second with De La Salle (Malvern). The biggest disa. ppointment was the game against 51. Bernard's College (Essendon) which we should have won after being in front for most of the game. We won our other games well. until we came up against St. Bede's College (Mentone) whose strength and home-ground advantage was too much for our dcpleted side. Congratulations Illust go to PETER BENTLEY (Capt.) ror a good performance as Captain and for a dedicated effort in the ruck by SHANE McCARTHY. The winner of the Best & Fairest was SHANE with BRENDAN MclNERJ'IEY being runner.up. Most consistent player was won by JOSEPH PIDUTTI. even though in the last game he arrived without his footy gear - "Excusc - I forgot!" TONY TODARO won best Team man for his support both on and off the neld. Spccialmention goes to the omcials M. LUBY (runner) M. WILSON (time-keeper), L. PHELAN and D. GILL (boundaries) and A. DILLON and P. KOURY (goal umpires). Thank you to all the players and officials who helped to makc 1976 a rewarding year for Under IS football. R. NIEUWENHOF UNDER 14 SCHOOL TEAM The team ably led by PAUL CARROLL nnished a •• cditable third in the CJ .S.A. competition. Sickness and injury to several players throughout the year prevented the team from playing off in the Grand Final. PAUL CARROLL captained the team and also won the best and fairest award. His dynamic and inspirational play brought praise from all opposition coaches. PAUL NEWELL, PAUL JONES, MATTHEW VALENTINO and a much improved MICHAEL DOWNEY formed the regular backline and teamed together well. GARY DUNDON, DAMIEN REEVES, MICHAEL WOOD and JEFF BREEDING when available, lead the rucks while we had a trio of very handy rovers in DOMINIC SPILLANE, KEN ALLAN and DARREN WILDING. Our unlikely looking full.forward was PAUL KOURY who did very well in the few games that he played. Other regular players were NEIL MURPHY, WARREN PENDRY, ROBERT PARKINSON, WILLIAM LEWIS, MICHAEL DREWITT and MICHAEL GEE. Congratulations to 51. Joseph's on their premiership. They were by far the best team in the competition. Thanks to the fathers who assisted with transport throughout the year. Special thanks are due to MR. M.Carroll who acted as goal umpire throughout the year and stood in as coach on a couple of occasions. FOOTBALL UNDER 13A: 1976 For the first time since 1974, Under 13A won their nrst game, beating St. Kilda (I) quite convincingly. The second game(against De La Salle) was our worst for the year. We were beaten by eight goals. Our team improved with new players joining up. After a couple more games we were confident of a premiership win against Dc La Salle. We lost our second last game by five points in a real cliff.hanger against St. Kilda (I) But we then knocked off Dc La Salle and now we were certain favourites for the Grand FinaL The night before the big match, everyone was tense and excited about the next day's events. Br. Mooney was espcdally tense. The day came and we started well in the first quarter. In the second half we raced away. winning by Ihi,ty,,"c points. The score was 5.10 (40) 10 1.3 (9). Best llIan Oil the neld went to ANTHONY CORCORAN alld the Best & Fairest went to our centre halfback, VIN HANLON. The grand I1nal team was: ANTHONY CORCORAN, VIN HANLON, UGO PIETRAN. GELO, MARTIN CALLAGHAN, JAMES SHANNAHAN, ENZO BUFANO, PAUL McEVEY, MARCUS PlIlLLIPS, ALEX. FUSCALDO, PAUL FOLEY, KEVIN WILSON, ANDREW SMITH, RUSSELL BROCK,RUSSELL DICKSON, ANTHONY CLARKSON, DARREN QUIX, JOHN GOLDING, BRENDAN ~lcCLEMENTS, EDDIE MILLER & RONNIE KEAYS. Due to an earlier game where our Captain BRIAN O'CONNELL was injured he was unable to pial' in the nna!. We would all like to thank Br. Mooney for coaching us through a most successful year. OLD PARADlANS U/16 FOOTBALL TEAM. Despite an apparent lack of success throughout the season, the team showed plenty of spirit and troubled all of the top sides in an effort to reach the final four. Excellently led by Captain and best and fairest winner, MICHAEL BUSCH, all the players tried their hardest, but often failed to continue good passages of teamwork that had been initiated. When everybody played as a teanl, however, no side in the competition could slow the sizzling pace set by the entire forward line. With five wins to their credit, the team proved that the O.P. U/l6's, in future, will be a force to be reckoned with. Special mention and thanks for their untiring services during the seaSOIlmust go to PETER BOOTH, as Coach, KEVIN RYAN, Manager and runner, MR. MILLER, goal umpire, MR. HAMMOND, trainer, the Old Paradians' Football Club, who pr0\1ded the backing and equipment for the team, and all the parents and families who came week after week to transport and support the team. We were victorious in four gamcs and had one draw. SPORT IN THE SCHOOL: A COMMENT There are certain merits and criticisms of Sport under the present set-up at Parade. Firstly, there arc alot of people representing the school in a variety of age groups and sports. Unfortunately. there is not a unity of spirit by all competitors and supporters, but rather cells of unity. Secondly, there is a qu('stion whether the school educates in sport. Many skills arc now learnt in outside clubs and under the choice system in the upper school particularly. many arc not learning something new. Finally. I believe '''''ithinthe school there is reason for alarm about the lack of fitness of many of our buys, and also an accompanying lethargy of attitude. BRO. T. COGlILAN This season Parade nelded two Under 14 football sides. The school side and the Old Paradians: the latter in the Preston league. Our IIrst two matches werc very ponr. mainly through lack of uetermination and a shortage nf players.

SOCCER Again this seasun all matches were played socially as there was no A.C.C. soccer competition. The team was nevertheless set for a successful season with a great win over the Staff, fullowed by good wins over Kilmor; and De La Salle. Some light opposition forced us into defeats by East Brunswick and Essendon, although we came back with a win over St. Kilda. Away defeats by St. Bede's and Brayhrook ended the seasun, but it \Vas marred mainly by the occurrence of transport strikes which caused two games to be cancelled. All team members showed commendable spirit and detcfminat ion throughout, with the experienced backHoe setting the example. The side was ably led by GREG CUMMINS, while MARCEL VANDERSLIK was the outstanding player of the season. Thanks must go to our Coach and referee - Mr. PYRGas, for his dedication and enthusiasm in his first scason with us, and also to many players who were interested enough to train even though they didn't gain a regular spot in the side.

After a very unsuccessful autumn season at Aibert Park, Parade Basketball switch to the new Civic Centre courts at Greensborough. Because of unavailability of transport to Greensborough, a group of Under ITs stayed at Albert Park for the winter season. As was expected, the first season at Greensborough was a bit of a nop, as the players had to adjust to new courts, new [ age groups and new referees. Despite this disappointing first season, the Greens- borough Players are now preparing to fight out a very good Spring season. The teams at Greensborough should be more successful this season because most of the players were a year too young for the age groups in which they were playing. Meanwhile, we now have two teams playing in Ihe Spring season al Albert Park and both promise to be contendors for the nag. After a bad start in the first two seasons we are all hopeful of a belter performance in the third season, the Spring season. Special thanks to BROTHER GRIFFIN for sticking with us during the season, and MR. KEN MORAN for helping out at Greensborough. SHANE AITKEN [n batting the team was usually well served by David Buttifant, Darren Considine, Brendan Smith and Peter Cashen. Cricket The bowlers very often gave us smaU scores to chase and we were appreciative of the efforts of Tim Nelson, UNDER 14 CRICKET In a very short season of six games, the team was successful in winning four of the five games played after a bye in the first round. Results of the matches were: Parade (7/88) defeated by Hawthorn (2/100). Parade (7/94) defeated Preston (6/77). Parade (5/135) defeated Abbotsford (10/75). Parade (8/104) defeated St. Kilda (3/89) Parade (4/86) defeated Bundoora (2/62). Our more successful batsman were M. Dinan (average 53), A. Beers (34), M. Powell (23), S. Hall (16) and P. Bendall (10). Best bowling performances were by W. Ennor (3/2), P. McMahon (4/14), M. Dinan (2/11), and A. Beers (2/9). [n a team which often failed to field well, best fielding displays were given by A. Bendall and B. Westlake. Our sincere thanks go to Mr. A. Bendall for his enthus. iastic supervision on Saturdays and his un valuable help during the season. We are also indebted to Mr. D. Philp, who undertook the tedious task of scorer each Saturday and to all Parents who provided transport and attended our games. Gerard Dowling and David Jackson. The fielding was consistently good due to the efforts of those above as well as Brendan Shannon, Stephen Grogan and our efficient wicket-keeper, Peter Cashen. Best individual efforts included: Darren Considine, 43 n.o. against Pascoe Vale and David Jackson, 4/14 against St. Mary's. UNDER I2B The under 12B's had a very successful season and justly deserved their premiership. Their win was a result of fine teamwork and consistency by all players. The team was captained by Michael Longwood whose all round ability was a valuable asset to our team. We usually scored heavily because of the batting talent of Peter McMahon, Andrew Perri, Anthony Bafunne and Glen Benetti. Our bowling had both vaiety and depth and impruved greatly as the season progressed. Generally we could rely on Joe Nateli, Peter McMahon and Jamie Geary to bowl the opposition out for a losing score. Our fielding was of good standard because of Mathew Robertson, David Blackly, John and Kieran Bibby, Peter Hore and John Newman. Andrew Perri was a reliable wicket-keeper and improved as the season progressed. Best individual performances were, P. McMahon, 37 n.o. against St. Monica's and Glenn Benetti's 3/6 against P.P.c. 13A CRICKET - 1976 Preston. Altogether it was a successful but unlucky season for the Under 13 A's. During the year we were defeated only once out of six games. If we had scored eight more runs during the season we would have won the premiership, as it turned out De La Salle won the premiership and we were runners up. The bowling honours went to B. Mullane and P. Luby and the batting honours to T. Canavan and T. Donahue. In the first half of the seaSOnwe coasted winning three straight games. In the fourth round we won quite easily but it was the fifth game that lost us the premiership. De La Salle went into bat and scored 118. We went in with high hopes but slumped badly to score only 55. We were faced with the prospect of scoring over 200 in the final match which is a very difficult 'task because of the limited time for batting. Pascoe Vale went into bat and scored 83. We then went in and the whole team lifted to score 3 for 205 but it wasn't enough to ,vin the premiership. The whole team wishes to thank Mr. Mullane and Mr. Canavan for the time they gave for supplying transpots, umpiring and scoring. BATTING: T. Donohue 30 n.o, 33 n.o. T. Canavan 31 n.o., 26 P.

In summary, the team lost only once in six matches. Tim Nelson captained the side and generally led his team with fine example. UNDER I J CRICKET The year 1976 proved to be not over successful as far as results are concerned. Once again we fielded two teams; A and B. Both teams played 5 games - the A's winning 2 and the B's being un. successful throughout the season. However, the spirit in which the boys played the game was most praiseworthy. Especially the boys in the B team who deserve a "well done" for their efforts and marvellous sportsmanship and comradeship shown throughout the season. The season began well for our A team who won the first two games of the season. At that stage they were on top of the ladder and looked set for a finals berth. How. ever, the B's had not won a game and were on the bottom of the ladder. In an effort to help the B's, two changes were made to the A's. It was hoped that these changes would help the B's to notch up their first victory. Alas, it proved a disastrous move. The B's still failed to make the necessary runs to make a victory. The A's also for some reason now failed to win too. And so the last three games of the season brought up losses to both teams. NOTABLE PERFORMANCES: M. Beers, who in 3 innings had scores of 30 retired~ 30 retired and 29. P. Fahey, D. Pratt, D. Flynn and A. Stephens who all had to be retired after making 30 runs. In the B's, Glenn O'Donnelllwice had to be retired after making 30. In the bowling department, P. Bibby bowled consistently for the B's while D. Casamento, D. Flynn and P. Fahey turned in sound performances for the A's. All hoys who participated for the U II's deserve a "well done" and a good luck for the future. UNDER 14 CRICKET BACK ROW: MIDDLE A. Bco", B.

TENNIS 1976 After our successful seasons last year (3 Premierships .3 Runners-Up), Parade Prep. expected to have to comm. ence rebuilding as we !C)stall our Star Players to Bundoora. However, it soon became evident that in the Under 13 section of the V.C.L.T .A. competition, we again had worthy teams. In term one, our Under 13 NO.1 team (A. Canavan, P. Martin, A. Rosario, S. lIall, A. Riecruuti, and R. Bartolomei), defealed West Ivanhoe in the Final to become Premiers. In the second term, Parade Prep. had 2 teams in the Semi-Finals and eventually these teams played off for the Winter Title. Our NO.1 team (as above) played our NO.2 team (T. Alderman, J. Powell, M. Hempenstall, M. Chester, P. Tasca, P. Franz and D. Pelly). The NO.2 team played splendidly to take the Final from our No. I team. We also fielded 2 Under 15 teams in the Competition and both performed well. Once morc the tennis coaching in being done by Messrs. John and Jim Reddock. So far this year, our num. bers have been near or over 100, so Parade Prep. should be a tennis power for some years to come. Many thanks to those Parents who have assisted the teams during the year, by means of transport and umpiring. BASKETBALL - 1976 P.P.c. ATHLETICS 1976 Parade enjoyed a highly successful year in Basketball this year. With two excellent coaches in Be. Giles and Miss Rooney, the teams had managed to win five Premierships by the end of the second term, in the Under 12, 13 and 14 age groups. There were up to 90 boys playing by the third term, and with vastly increased talent from newcomers, our hall may well be decorated with a further five Premierships. Parade have entered teams in the C.Y.M.S. Junior Competition for several years now and the popularity of the game has increased at a rapid rate during that time. The televising of matches at Albert Park, coupled with the success of the Australian Olympic side, has ensured interest among the boys. During the third term, Parade was invited to enter teams, for the first time, in the Victorian Independent Junior Schools Association, an offer which we readily accepted, thereby allowing boys the option of Saturday morning or afternoon competition. Some notable highlights during the year included the clean sweep during the second term when our Under 12,1 13 and 14 sides went through undefeated, culminating in three magnificent Premierships. In one match the Under l3's scored 142.2, and the Under 14's scored 101.2. Terry Twomey caught the eye of the State selectors and was chosen to play for Victoria in the Nationai Cham. pionships in Adelaide. Other boys who won prizes in the Under Age C.Y.M.S. team were Jamie Kennedy and Barry McBrearty. The Annual AtWetic Carnival was held in brilliant sunshine on the College oval. Over 300 boys took part and the many spectators enjoyed the efforts put on by the b,;,ys. The achievement of the boys should be measured by thelf effort, but one competitor should be singled out for his outstanding success. Terry Twomey won all the events for P.P.C. SWIMMING 1976 The Annual Swimming Carnival was held at the Northcote Swimming Pool in warm sunshine on Friday 5th March. Lynch, captained by Anthony Loton, won its third successive Carnival with a total of 379 points. Hughes (339) Tracey (322) and Bodkin (316) fought a great battle for the other places. There were many tine performances throughout the day in all divisions and it is worth noting the champions, U/IO Brian Moloney, UII I Mark Somers, U/l2 Paul O'Donnell, U/13 Renata Bartolemei and the U/14 champion was Anthony Loton (8 points), closely followed by Sean Swift and Paul Bendall who were on 7 points. The boys from Forms I and 2 travelled to Bundoora to swim against their counterparts at the senior college. The small pool, with Edmund Rice College in the back. ground, was an ideal spot for such a day and it was good to see the boys from junior and senior schools combining in this way. Altogether 350 boys took part in what became a fine competition. Bundoora won the Form I section while Alphington took the Form 2 title. Me. Foster selected the boys to train for the A.C.C. Swimming Carnival and the team spent a dedicated and strenuous month's training at the Regent in-door pool. The final week's preparation was done at the Olympic Pool. The evening carnival was a great success. The competitors produced their best times. The cheer squad and other students joined in enthusiastically and the parents added their support. The Prep. boys Renata Bartolomei, Paul O'Donnell, Paul Bendall, Anthony Loton, Matthew Chester, Mark Somers and Paul Villanti. All who took part would like to thank Me. Foster for his time and effort and to the small band of parents who gave them tremendous early morning support and encouragement. the U/l3 age group - 100 01,200 m, 400 01,800 m, long and high jumps. This record is remarkable in itself but it takes on a greater dimension when aU performances other than the long jump would have won the higher age competition. Another performance that thrilled the spectators was little Peter Barney's effort in the mile. He almost "stole" the race but he certainly "stole" the admiration of the crowd for his dogged persistence and courage. The Fathers' Club and the staff ensured the smooth running of the sports and the boys showed their appreciation by the way they behaved and competed. Later in the year the boys competed in the A.C.C.

UNDER 14 FOOTBALL P.P.C. - UNDER113A FOOTBALL The rules of the Competition in our division this year were designed to allow a greater number of boys to enjoy a game, and this enabled us to give at least three quarters of a game to any player who was available on a particular day. On some occasions as many as 24 boys were able to take part in a game. Teamwork suffered as a result of the constant changing of positions on the field, but.it was felt that a game for as many as possible was more important. There were occasions when some really good teamwork was evident, and it was encouraging to see several weaker players improving as they were given the opportunity to show their potential. We are grateful to Me. K. Kelly who braved the wind an The season began well with three easy wins against St. Bernards, Pascoe Vale and St. Kilda. Our big failure which probably put us out of the Grand Final was our one point loss to Preston. Our other two losses during the season were to the eventual Grand Finalists, Bundoora and De La Salle. We were captained by Terry Twomey and his deputy was Richard Geary. Some of our better players during the season were: Tony Canavan, Terry Twomey, Bernard Mullane, Paul Thorpe, Peter Treppo. Our top coal-kicker was Stephen Brennan. Our Most Improved was Paul Mcinerney, who, once given a chance on the ball showed great improvement. We would like to thank Me. J. Mullane for coaching us and Mr. Canavan for being goal umpire during the season and everyone else who helped us have a reasonably successful season. and rain to act as our goal umpire each week. We offer our thanks, too, to Me. K. McMahon and Me. J. Picone who were kind enough to supply us with oranges during the games, and to all Parents who helped us with transport to the grounds.

The team spirit and the sportsmanship of each and every boy is a tribute to the school and to the boys themselves. In the season of 10 Home and Sway games, we won 8. Our two defeats were closely fought out games with De La Salle just managing to take the poInts. The results of the Grand Final was ajust conclusion to an even 'A' grade season. At three quarter in the grand final, De La Salle led by It took us two games to get our play--on game working. Players showing improvement were many. Boys such as Steven Smith, Paul De Bolfo, Paul Carrazzo, Eddy Flynn and Martin Frenette were only a few among the improved side. Peter Burt took us from a group of sloppy individuals to a team of well adjusted players. Unfortunately we missed out on the finals but we are sure we have all improved greatly from the start of the season. We would like to thank all the parents who gave us transport and moral support and to our two umpires - Mr. Hall and Mr. Newell who braved the cold weather and tough criticism to enable us to play. by: PAUL GRANT JOHN STELLA the team can be 19 points. In an effort at which I, as coach, took immense pride, the boys played an incredible last quarter of football. Every player played his heart out in a well disciplined team effort. The result was a heart-stopping draw. UNDER 12A FOOTBALL The U{12 A's performed creditably in finishing fifth this season. The lack of tall players and the injury of key team members probably cost us a place in the fInals. Our backline was usually well served by John De Angelis, Michael Longwood and Peter Hore, all of whom could play close and restrict the scoring opportunities of their opponents. Michael Reid, our captain, and John Bibby very often provided our forwards with scoring chances because of their determined play from the centre line. Although a number of players were tried on the forward line, consistent good fonn usually came from Gerard Dowling, David Jones and Peter Cashen Several other players who tried hard when given the opportunity were David Jackson, Richard Hehir, John Slater, Chris Hogg, Alfred Romeno, Peter McMahon and Jamie Geary. The boy who contributed most to the performance of the team by his unselfish attitude to training and playing was Gerard Dowling. The most improved player over the year was Danny Gleeson. UNDERI2BFOOTBALL The outstanding feature of play by the under 12 B's was the way the boys always combined as a team, despite changes in the side from week to week. While only 2 wins for the s~ason would not be counted by some as being successful, it was a real pleasure to experience and determination the spirit of the boys at work on the field. In this age group, it is encouraging for the future to see the boys develop in skill and knowledge of the game. J. Slater and S. Petty provided strength and drive from the ruck, while R. Hehir gathered any crumbs from the centre and streaked forward as though all opponents were carrying buckets of sand for a handicap. C. Hogg was a reliable stalwart in either attack or defence with M. Robertson and S. Jones always driving in for their chances with courage and desperation. G. Jacubik and A. Baffunno improved with the season while C. Hoolahan has found his position on the wing. Despite the score on the board we were never defeated as all team members can truly say that they gave their best. GEORGE HOGG (COACH) UNDER liB FOOTBALL WANDERERS From a humble beginning the team settled down to combine well and were eventually runners up to St. Mary's in a close finishing game. This was due to the boys enthusiasm and desire to play well as a team and not as individualist's, the moral support given by the parents, and the co-operation from Brother Walsh. A thank-you to Gerard Caddy for umpiring during the season. It was my pleasure to be associated enthusiastic team of young sportsmen. with this BRIAN O'DONNELL COACH UNDER II FOOTBALL In this Annual there is a report on the Under II A & B football teams. However I don't think we can forget the under II footballers as a whole. The teams were not chosen specifically as an 'A' and 'B' team. Rather the intention was that ALL boys are equal members of the school community and d~serve equal opportunity. Therefore every boy who wished to play football played every week. The teams were made relatively even so that each boy would have a good game and not play in a team that won by a large margin every week or in a team that lost by a large margin each week. As a result of this policy, the boys enjoyed their football much more and gave of themselves to the team each week in a full-hearted manner. The 'A' team was still an 'A' team as shown by the result. This policy did not detract from the standard of football, but rather improved the standard. I wish to thank the boys for the way they played the game and hope that the enjoyment they obtained this year is carried on next year. After all, whether you win, lose or draw isn't important, it is the way you play the game. A special word of thanks to those parents who came along each week to support their sons and helped in any offIcial capacity, especially Mr. Brian O'Donnell who was Team Manager of the lIB's. BR. D.
