HONG KONG CHAMPIONSHIPS
Following the success of the School Vill at the Head
of the River and then at the National Championships held
during the Easter vacation, the Shore Ist Vill will be rowing
in the Hong Kong Championships to be held on the weekend
of 23rd April. We congratulate the school crew on its
successes and wish it well for this international event.
The journey to Hong Kong was conceived and made
possible by the financial generosity of members of the Shore
community in Hong Kong.

SCHOOL
Today, four of Shore's oarsmen will be taking part
in a very different type of rowing from their usual Regattas
and training on the Parramatta River.
Two hundred years ago this February Captain Arthur
Phillip explored the river up to the place he named Rose
Hill, now Parramatta. This historic event is being marked
in Heritage Week by a re-enactment of the trip, to be
rowed in a replica of an 18th century open boat, a jollyboat, rowed by relays of school boys and boat builders, four
at a time and wearing period costumes. Our four Geoffrey Lyne, James Stuart, Stewart Osborne and Nick
Stevens, are hoping they will row at least one section in
the area of Looking Glass Bay.
The re-enactment will set off from Farm Cove
and with changes of crew and some stops is expected to
reach Parramatta about noon.
Tomorrow morning the boat will be paraded from
Arthur Phillip High School to Parramatta Town Hall, with
an escort of all rowers and apprentices from Cockatoo
Island, where the boat was built. This will be followed by
a brief ceremony and distribuition of Certificates to all
those taking part.

VISION
FOR
AUSTRALIA"
As an extension of the Bicentennial Programme,
an organisation - 'National Goals and Directions Incorporated' - has been holding conferences and seeking opinions
since 1987 on the direction of Australia's future in our
third century of white settlement.
The organisation, which is nationally funded and
sponsored, is anxious to obtain the views and hopes of young
people and is asking schools to make a special effort to
encourage pupils of any age to put down their ideas.
Those interested are asked to write in 200-300 words
under the title "My Vision for Australia".
This is a topic which may well be discussed in
General Studies in VI Form, but which might well be considered in History or English at any level in the School.
In any case, the necessary forms are available from Form
Masters, from General Studies, History or English teachers
or from Mr Moyes' office in the Careers Reference Library
The closing date for mailing essays is 30th June 1938.

S.W.R. COMPETITION
Yes, indeed - it's competition time again (yawn!).
This week some entries made the judges cry for the poor
trees which gave their lives so that these entries could be
hastily scrawled and then jammed into the Record Box.
Here are a few tips for prospective competitors:
Make your entries at least vaguely humorous
Innuendo is O.K., but some entries verge on the
repulsive - boy, could we make some money if
we knew who you were, "W.P.B."
One short, concise, mildly amusing entry may win
more points than reams and reams of totally bcring
entries (This means you, "Radman & Co" - 39 entries
is a bit much!)
In a desperate attempt to inject some spirit of competition (and hopefully some comedy) into this contest, an
emergency meeting of the judges resulted in the decision to
award, FOR 2 WEEKS ONLY, a maximum of 40 points
rather than the usual 10. However, this special offer
applies only to totally new, never before heard from,
contestants. Hopefully next week we will see some new
names up near the top of the list to keep the leaders "on
their toes".
For what it's worth, here's a run-down on the entries
from the last round of the competition: "Radman & Co",
besides supplying 39 entries, totally misinterpreted the
instructions; since the last round had a "doodle" rather than
a photo, entrants were supposed to complete the doocle,
not write captions for it!
"Dormorix" had a novel approach when he revealed the
doodle was actually a ballot sheet with the doodle in question being a 'sauce stain'. "Basil Brush" and his mute colleague "Humphrey B Bear", besides remarking that "Humphrey doodles with Basil's brush" (some pun, huh?), interpreted
rather literally the reference to the incomplete doodle as
part of a 'finished masterpiece' and included the dooi ~ le appearing as some sort of Renaissance toilet/paint brush
(or a pipe) - in replicas of several famous masterpieces (the
Mona Lisa, roof of the Sistine Chapel and so on). At least
this was an original idea.
"Aztecian Deviant" might not have had such an original idea, but he scored high points for managing to refer
to both the famous "intergalactic thunderslug" and to the
infamous "boiled follies" saga - an epic tale of a clandestine
struggle to seize control of the highly lucrative boiledfolly racket.
N.B: Attention "THUNDERSLUGSRGO!" Sorry, but
we're wise to you. A $Irn bank note from Polecono -ny is
no more use to us than a $20 note from Monopoly. Show
us some of the real stuff and then we'll talk.

"A SPRING SONG" - a boy's vie
"A Spring Song" was presented over four consecutive
nights beginning on 16th March. It was a fine production
of an intense play about the changing relationships of tired,
lonely people. It had much to say about the family unit,
its past, present and future.
It is a static play taking place in the living room of a
family's home in the country town of Jerridong. Mr and
Mrs Dennison have three daughters - Margaret, a city school
teacher; Helen, a matron in a city hospital; and Kerry, the
'daughter at home', who is a nurse at a neighbouring hosrdital. At various times they are all at home and the play
concerns the reactions of characters to various developments and crises. Each of these events relates to a central
theme concerning the changing structure of the family unit.
The unwillingness of the parents to let that unit change is
shown as well as the necessity of change. It has a great
deal to do with loneliness, which is displayed by the fact
that the boarder, Peter Webster, is not a stranger in the
house, but to Mrs Dennison he becomes "just like one of
the family".
Mr Dennison was played by Adam Heath. His role
appeared to be a popular one with several of the audiences
and one which he played extremely Well. Mr Derinison is a
Page 51.
"A Spring Son " continued . . .
tough and resilient, yet old and dependent, man. Each of
these aspects was clearly portrayed and the natural dominance of a father was well supported by voice and gesture.
Having a heart attack on stage must be a difficult task to
perform successfullybut thankfully it never became melodramatic.
Mrs Dennison was played with equal believability by
Cathy Issakidis. Cathy brought to her part all the unsure,
sometimes muddleheaded, quietness that it required. She
made Mrs Dennison become an old woman longing for a time
when her family was together. Hers was a fine performance.
Straight from great success as Barbara Jackson in
last year's "Pack of Lies" came Kirrily White as the youngest daughter Kerry. We were treated to another exceptional performance from her as she gave her part spirit,
vivacity and youth. Kirrily used gesture well and gave an
extremely satisfying and believable character.
Jacinda Jackson, as the middle daughter Helen,
played her part competently as she present different
members of the family with different problems. As matron
of a city hospital and as an aggravator of her father I
expected a little more dominance from her, but she slotted
in well with the rest of the family.
Peter Webster, played by David Kok, was a strange
character as it appeared to have little motivation. Little
motivation to write poetry, little motivation to fall in love
with Margaret, the eldest daughter; but David seemed to
manage quite well. Peter was a witness to action more than
an initiator of it and the part requires a great deal of concentration. David's facial expressions sometimes seemed
inappropriate or too obvious, otherwise it was a good
performance.
Lachlan Menzies played Geoff Manham briefly at the
start of the play. His one and only scene is an introduction and a reference point more than anything else.
Lachlan's voice is not an easy one to listen to, nevertheless
he made the most of his part.
Last, but most certainly not least, we come to Edwina
White's first-class portrayal of the eldest daughter, Margaret.
I consider hers to be the most important role in the play
simply because this character dominates each scene in which
she appears. Margaret is her father's favourite, she is dying
from a brain disease, and Peter has fallen in love with her.
It is because of these things that much of the play's message
comes from Margaret. Edwina did not let the importance
of the part overwhelm her and gestures, voice, facial
expression all mattered and became part of the character.
Edwina gave a thoroughly engrossing and moving performance.
The most obvious and pleasing aspect of the acting
was the way in which the characters reacted as a family.
There was a naturalness in the relationships which made us
believe that this was a family. This feeling was carried
throughout, from the dominance of the father to the maturity of the eldest daughter to the spiritedness of the youngest. This was a very important element in the believability
of the play as its theme is directly concerned with this
structure - the family unit.
Aside from the performances, the detail used on the
set made it look great and the stage crew worked very
quietly. Sometimes the performers looked hampered by lack
of space but they all performed well under the circumstances. This was the first production of Mr Archer and
Mr Clarke; let us hope that there are many more to come
from them. Overall, a complex play full of contradictions
but carried extremely convincingly in most places by an
extremely talented cast. A rewarding and enjoyable night's
theatre. Bravo.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
ROWING
During the Easter break the Ist Eight, the Ist Four
and members of the 2nd Eight rowed in the National and
King's Cup Regattas held on the Nepean River at Penrith.
Throughout the championships conditions remained fast,
with a following wind and the river more than a metre
above its normal level.
On the morning of Friday, 8th April, the Ist VIII and
lst IV won their heats and so progressed to the semi-finals.
The 2nd VIII, rowing a four, were placed second in their
heat. However the crew performed sufficiently well in the
repechages that afternoon to also qualify for the semis.
On the Saturday both Shore fours competed in the
same semi-final, the Ist IV crossing the line second and so
qualifying for the final, and the 2nd VIII four being placed
fourth - unfortunately not high enough to row in the final
but still an admirable effort for a crew with only two weeks'
experience to its name. In a tough semi-final the Ist VIII
came second to the Geelong Grammar crew by threequarters of a length.
Although conditions for the first two days were wet
and blustery, the rain lightened on Sunday, 10th April, the
last day of the Regatta. The Ist IV rowed a fine race to
come fourth in the Schoolboy Coxed Fours Event, a result
they can well be proud of when one considers that the youthful Shore crew was competing against members of other
schools' First VIlIs. In the Schoolboy Eights Event, Shore
made a very fast start and built up a lead of one-third of a
length after 500 metres. However in the middle stages of
the 1500m event the powerful Geelong Grammar crew rowed
Shore down and moved away to win by three-quarters of a
length, with Shore second in a thoroughly credible performance.
The Kings Cup for the Australian Interstate Eights
Championship resulted in an easy win for Victoria from
South Australia and New South Wales. Congratulations must
also be extended to Duncan Bull (2 in the 1986 Ist VIII)
who was a member of the victorious N.S.W. Youth Eight.

AUSTRALIAN MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIAD
Clement Loy, V Form, was one of 66 students from
the whole of Australia who was invited to sit for the
Australian Mathematical Olympiad earlier this year.
Clement was awarded a Bronze Certificate which placed
him in the top 30 students in Australia (in the top 8
students in NSW). A commendable performance, especially
considering that he was competing against Year 12 students.
Congratulations for a fine effort.
WEDNESDAY. 22nd JUNE 1988
The Ist XV and 2nd XV will play St Joseph's College
at Hunters Hill on this date. This unusual fixture in the
G.P.S. draw has come about because of a need to reconcile
GPS Competition with international, representative fixtures
made a long while ago by the Australian Rugby Football
Schools Union in relation to the Bicentenary.
There will be certain changes in the School timetable
on this day - Day 2:
Periods I and 2 will be normal
Period 3 will be from 10.40 a.m. to 11.23 a.m.
Period 4 will be from 11.27 a.m. to 12.09 p.m.
Period 5 will be from 12.13 p.m. to 12.55 p.m.
There will be no Period 6 and no school during the
af ternoon.
It is hoped that these arrangements will enable the
large number of boys which normally wishes to support this
fixture to do so. It is anticipated that some boys will be
able to make their own ways to Hunters Hill. They should
not, however, use the normal bus service between Chatswoo(
and Gladesville as they may seriously overload it to the
disadvantage of the general public.
The School will hire buses, as required, for those boys
who are not able to make their own arrangements for travel
to Hunters Hill. Three will be a charge for these buses.
It is expected that most boys will need to travel by nem.
For day boys, Mr N.A. Emery will make arrangements
through Form Masters early in the term to ascertain the
number of boys wishing to make use of this service. Buses
will leave the School at approximately 1.00 p.m. Return
travel to North Sydney will be available at the end of the
Ist XV match if required.
For boarders, Mr R.K. Whiley will make arrangements
through Housemasters. All boarders will be required to
attend the match. Buses will leave the School after unch
at approximately 1.30 p.m. and will return to North Sydney
at the end of the Ist XV match.

DEBATING
I&
The Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition is one
of the jewels in the debating/public speaking crown. Many
distinguished people won this competition during their
school days, among them our State Premier, Mr N. Greiner.
We will attempt to pluck it this year when
Ben Howes represents Shore in this contest for oratorical
supremacy among G.P.S. and Associated Schools.
The competition will be held on Friday, 6th May,
at 7.00 p.m. at St Joseph's C(kUege, Hunters Hill.
Those boys from 11 Form upwards who are interested
in debating are invited to attend. Ben is an experienced
speaker and debater who has been invited to try out for
the NSW State Debating Team. At the time of writing,
he is in the final fifteen young men and women and has a
very good chance of making the team. It would be
marvellous if he had some support from his own school
when he speaks next Friday.
SECONDARY PUPILS'LIVING AWAY FROM HOME
ALLOWANCE
Financial assistance is available to parents of students
who are required to board away from home so that they
may attend an appropriate secondary school. In our case
such a school would be a school of the Anglican denomination. Payment of the allowance is subject to a means test.
The means test, which is based on the adjusted family
taxable income, has been eased to $28,809 for the financial
year ended 30th June, 1987. Only parents residing in New
South Wales are eligible.
Re-application is not necessary for boys currently
receiving the allowance.
Any enquiries should be made to Mr D.G. Spurr, who
has the necessary application forms.

EDITORIAL
It was but a mere speck on the edge of reality, linking me to life's ultimate goal. It would not go. it was
going to stay, and over the next few weeks it became
familiar to me as the "bludge monster". It came regularly
on Mondays and Tuesdays, even on Wednesday mornings,
plaguing my mind with its tragic poise and demanding words
"Do it!", recurring over and over again. It finally ended one
Tuesday morning on the chapel lawn, when there was nothing
left for me to do but take constructive action. The sun
was hot and soothing, the trees swayed enticingly above the
warm grass and lush flowers. Delicious floral scents
remained locked in perpetual contention with the current
of fresh ocean air. It was heaven, and of course when
things were looking good, the spectre appeared. My mind
screamed as I slipped into overload. I was running, running
through a maze of deep dark tunnels, searching for an easy
way out, constantly confronted by dead ends. Eventually
I could only turn and run right into the committee crushing
fiery-green jaws of Mr Bludge. The stress was overwhelming me, the prey was his. "Can't
write
it" I moaned.
I looked up and saw the leering smile of The Ed. Ed?
My mind was deliriously juxtaposing illusion and reality,
and I drew back as his seemingly greenish face loomed
over mine, his status crushing all chances of physical or
mental escape. I was caught in his web of power, all I
could do was write. Help!

A wampwadded warpdriven weasel leaves Planet X at

System M31 and a hyperspatial hoverslug (Class III) leaves
Earth. All head towards Pluto on converging courses,

GOLF
On the first day of the holidays the Shore Golf
Club overcame the peak hour traffic to play at Bonnie Doon
in blustery conditions. Three boys broke 90, which indicates
substantial golf prowess. They were James Kelly (86), Kyrn
Graham (returning after a back injury - 87) and Andrew
Swan (89). Other notable scores were Ben Halliday 91 and
Duncan McIntosh 92. The second game at Mona Vale was
cancelled due to bad weather, but Richard Amos was there
to give a pitch report and he did it very well.

COMPET17ION
Ihis week was even worse than last week (and that's
saying a lot), and the judges are resorting to desperate
measures to induce some sort of decent, belly shaking
laughter into the Competition, now into Round ~ .
Part I was the lesser completed of the two, and as
such has been given higher marks. Perhaps the best came
from "Who Shot JRGT' and "Computer Room Anarch)"_
Part 2 shocked us by the lack of general originality.
Nuclear or similar weapons were offered as solutions to
famines/terrorism/Kyiie Minogue in no less than 17 entries.
"Computer Room Anarchy", disobeying all rules by answering A and B, suggested a way to overcome terrorists was to
destroy the planes before they could be hijacked. Don't
call us, we'll letterbomb you.
Movements about the table: "Verbal Indiscretions"
climbed to the top this week, while "Juz Dont Cahr" continued his seemingly effortless climb by reaching 7th position.
"Tom, Dick & Harry" suffered because of Tom's selfishness
while the "Communist Party" suffered due to the SWR's
highly right wing tendencies. "Thunderslugsrgo" seems to
have lost all thunder and are temporarily (?) not going
anywhere.
This week both parts should be attempted (i.e., do them).
Part A is a droodle (as distinct from a doodle). DO NOT,
repeat, DO NOT, in any way change the droodle; all we
want is a description/comment on it. Part B is a straightforward question. Good luck guys. If you don't need it, we
of the almost suicidal SWRC do.

ATHLETICS REPORT - Saturday, 23rd APRIL
Last Saturday was the Grammar Invitation Athletics
Carnival. On a wet and heavy track the team performed
particularly well against very strong St Joseph's and Riverview teams. The day started well with a second by Antonv
Burnett in the Open 3000m, but then followed a lull in
performances until after the lunch break when the team
began to fire with some excellent performances by the
4 x loom Relay teams as well as some fine individual
performances.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
TERM I CONCERT - Monday, 28th MARCH
It is easy to say that each of the Term Concerts
given by the Music Department over the past two years has
been better than the last. But the fact remains that the
improvement in standard of performance and in presentation
has been most marked. This has resulted in a commensurate
gain in enjoyment by all those attending (and it is good to seE
the growing audience numbers). The applause, for the most
part, reflected genuine appreciation rather than polite
support, albeit with some suffering.
A great deal of credit must also go to the Stage
Managers, William Uther and David Carr, for the efficient
way they moved from large groups to soloists and back
again with the minimum of fuss and maximum efficiency.
The concert opened with a flourish. Unannounced the
11 Form Brass Ensemble (Andrew Macintosh, Tom Butcher,
James Hudson and Richard Mullen on trumpets and Alex
Robinson on tympani) shook the Hall from their position at
the front of the gallery with a "Fanfare" by Johan Zelenka.
Their certainty of pitch and firm control ensured the
Concert began impressively. It is hard to believe that Shore
now has a I Form String Group of the number and quality
'v shown in their playing of Gluck's beautiful "Che Faro".
Mrs Collins deserves great credit for the impact she has
made on this area of school music in such a short time.
Intonation and musicality were surprisingly good for such a
young group of musicians. Roger Lui has entertained us at
• number of school concerts, and we have come to expect
• high standard from this promising young pianist. He began
with Father Bach's "Three Part Invention No.2", a piece
which sounds easy but which is deceptively difficult to execute. If Roger looked disappointed after his performance it
was still of high standard. And his "Mouvements Perpetuels"
by Poulenc was fluent and lively - a pure delight.
Ben Howes' voice has developed greatly in timbre and
range over the past year, and with his undoubted stage
presence and feeling for the songs chosen, he made his contribution one of the most memorable of the evening. The
Chamber Choir is a very recent addition and in its first
public showing, while suffering from lack of rehearsal, showed
enough to give promise of much delight to come. Tom
Harricks, unaccompanied, played Acker Bilk's "Stranger on
the Shore" with great confidence, displaying a soft pleasing
sound in the lower register of his clarinet. He will do even
better when he grows taller than his music stand. Ben
Docker played Vivaldi's "Concerto in A minor (Ist movement)". This was a testing piece for intonation and rhythm.
Ben showed himself very secure in both for such a young
violinist. The Stage Band completed the first half with a
bracket of three numbers. They proved most at home with
the up-tempo rhythms, playing with great gusto. They
finished some a little raggedly and will improve their overall performance with as much attention to the end of the
piece as to the middle. After all this is our last impression.
The Intermediate Band under the baton of Miss Benn
opened the second half. They don't worry too much about
finesse, they get straight into it. It is a large band of
obvious enthusiasts and the trumpets especially play with
full power on all the way. Their unmistakable enjoyment
brought smiles onto the faces and taps onto the feet of
many a proud mum and dad. Congrats Miss Benn!
Clement Loy produced a lovely sound in his rendition of
Handel's "Concerto No.3 in G Minor (Ist movement)" and,
if occasionally the performance faltered, the enjoyment of
the audience was none the less. Clement's ability is about
ten times higher than he believes.
David Kok sang "Someone Who Cared", an original
composition by Toby Duncan in the 'rhythm and blues' idiom.
Toby's improvised piano playing in the manner of Fats
Waller or Art Tatum was great; as was the applause. What
a contrast to Wesley's "Lead Me Lord" by the School Choir.
The trebles produced a fine tonal quality here, as they did
in Ralph McTell's "Streets of London" which followed. This
singing was some of the best of the evening and won warm
applause from the enthusiastic supporters out front. The
Choir finished with a performance of "Flashdance".
They say they leave the best till last. And so it
turned Out. The Concert Band under the firm leadership of
Mr Fox played "They're Playing My Song", "Wombat Shuffle"
and "The Reflex" with great precision and unity of spirit.
They are really a fine group to listen to and for the school
to be proud of. Before the last of the applause had died
Mr Fox brought them in with their encore "Rock Around the
Clock" which sent the middle-aged at least home happy.
It was a concert of vreat variety in musicality, of
experience in performance. But there was not much variety
of enjoyment. I enjoyed it all! Congratulations to Mr Fox,
Mr Mitchell (whose lanky frame popped up almost everywhere), Miss Benn and Mrs Collins. The evening's huge
success was their obvious reward.

OUR RE-ENACTMENT ROW ON THE PARRAMATTA
The four, Stewart Osborne, Nick Stevens, James Swart
and Geoffrey Lyne, assembled at the McMahons Point ferry
wharf at 6.00 a.m. on 22rid April, under a dark, misty sky,
to be met by a historic replica of the 3olly Boat which 200
years previously Captain Arthur Phillip and a crew of seven
marines had rowed, to found the site of present day
Parramatta.
At this stage the replica boat was under tow by a
small ferry; we boarded this vessel and proceeded to
Mrs Macquarie's Chair, where we were rowed ashore to a
small contingent of press, National Trust and Heritage
Week Council members making up the farewelling committee.
Taking the first leg of the row were the builders of
the craft, apprentices of Cockatoo Island Dockyard, who
pushed off and battled their way across and under the Bridge
against the backdrop of modern day developments and the
sizeable washes of the hydrofoil.
The second leg was rowed by four St Ignatius' boys but
as they were junior rowers James Stuart and Stewart Osborne
had to jump in and lend their willing services to bring the
boat up to its capacity of 6 rowers and full speed.
St Joseph's College were late in arriving for their section
of the row, so we took over until their crew finally arrived.
Upstream at Meadowbank the Shore contingent again took
control and proceeded to forge up the river. This jolly boat
was very different, being short and wide, seating two rowers
on each of the three thwarts. Also the oars, more like
sculls, aren't held to the boat and this required much concentration to keep them in place. The clothing, black kneelength pants, white shirts and felt Navy hats (borrowed from
the ABC's James Cook costume department) was also
strange. We are glad to say we turned out in the right
costume - the other schools unfortunately did not bother.
Our part of the re-enactment row concluded at Silverwater but the following morning (Saturday) we journeyed to
Parramatta for a tvlayoral reception and speeches from local
politicians and members of the Heritage Council, when we
were handed commemorative medals and certificates acknowledging our part in helping to re-enact this slice of
Australian history.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
ROWING
Last weekend the Shore First Eight competed
in the Hong Kong International Regatta on the Shing Mun
River at Shatin. By the conclusion of racing on Sunday,
the crew had emerged victorious in four events, including
the prestigious Open Eights race.
The Vill arrived in Hong Kong on Wednesday, 20th
April after an eight hour flight. The following day the
squad paid its first visit to the course at Shatin in Hong
Kong's New Territories. During the morning the Eight and
a Four trained on the river using equipment loaned by the
Hong Kong Amateur Rowing Association. Friday turned out
to be much the same as the previous day and during the
morning the VIII made good progress in adapting to the
borrowed boats.
The following day, Saturday, 23rd April, heats were
held for the Schoolboy Fours and Eights and for the Open
Eights. The VIII performed well, moving into the finals
with convincing wins in both its heats. The only moment
of uncertainty came in the Schoolboy Eights when an equipment breakage forced the six man, Brian Humphris, to row
more than half the race without his sliding seat. Despite
this minor setback the crew went on to win comfortably.
The Schoolboy Fours heat was also won by a Shore crew
consisting of members of the VIII. Finally, in the Open
Single Sculls, Matthew Bransgrove gained third place and a
start in the next day's repechage.
Sunday dawned bright and hot, in contrast to the
preceding few days. The VIII faced a tough schedule, culminating in the Open Eights Final at 5.00 p.m. After withdrawing from the Open Sculls repechage, Matthew Bransgrove started the day successfully with an easy win in the
Schoolboy Single Sculls. The next race, the Schoolboy
Fours, saw Shore take an early lead and go on to win by
three lengths from Hale College of Western Australia.
The next race was the International Schools Eights. In an
effort which dispelled any doubts concerning its endurance, the crew rowed a clean race, once again beating Hale
College by a substantial margin.
The final event for the day, the Open Eights, proved
to be the most challenging for the crew. The two Chinese
crews in the event were considered by many to be favourites; however once again, Shore asserted their authority and
completed the 2,000 metre course to win by 5 seconds from
Shanghai Province, China, with Jiangxi (Yantze) Province
third.
The First Eight would like to extend its thanks to
the School Community in Hong Kong who made such an
exciting and worthwhile trip possible through their kindness
and generosity. The crew is also grateful to its coach,
Mr Uebergang, and the Rowing Master, Mr Shirlaw, for
their efforts throughout the season and during the Hong
Kong trim ii) r),;rtictilar.
VALLA PARK 1988
A Master's View!
"I should be so lucky
and so we were. The
Shore Athletic Squad left a sodden Sydney for five frantic
days of fitness, fun and frivolity at Valla Park on Sunday,
3rd April. With spikes sharpened, expectations high and
mouths agape, the squad arrived early Monday morning to
be greeted by the deluge that was expressing its wrath on
the North Coast. Despair was only fleeting as Mr Walker,
"Their dread commander; he above the rest In shape and
gesture proudly eminent Stood like a tow'r", announced that
the show must go on.
As the week progressed the rain did not ease, nor
did the efforts of the boys, or masters for that matter. A
typical day consisted of a voluntary jog at 6.30 a.m. After
a nutritious breakfast the morning session began at 9.30
and concluded at 11.45. Lunch occupied the next stage and
gave the athletes a chance to become mentally attuned to
the task ahead. After a well-needed stretch at 3.30 p.m.
the squad came together for the afternoon "fun"! These
tortuous events varied from hill sprints, relays and
the infamous run-swim-run. It was during these sessions
that the squad engendered its own team spirit. Much credit
for this was due to the captain Nick Greene. His idea of
applauding all factions and ages worked wonders and lifted
the lagging spirits of many athletes and masters. And still
it rained!
It was during these training schedules that a number of
personal duels soon developed. These were most noticeable
between Sam Bell and James Watson, Tim Parker and
CharlesClayton, Doug Clare and Nick Taylor, Nick Greene
and Antony Burnett and Lachlan Menzies and anyone who
got near him. And still it rained.
The great success of the camp was due to the spirit
among the athletes, the dedication of the masters and the
co-operation of the Valla Park staff. Their preparation of
meals and nightly activities did much to take the rain off
the minds of the athletes and provide a relaxed atmosphere.
Discos, bingo, talent nights - it was all happening.
It was
rewarding to see the days training had really prepared the
boys for the nights events. I had no idea that so many of
our highly strung athletes were really nocturnal animals.
I had no idea that 'dirty dancing' wasn't merely doing a soft
shoe shuffle in the middle of the Simpson Desert. I had no
idea that doing the 'limbo' meant anything other than a
state between heaven and hell. I had no idea that a new
brand of jeans existed; Taylor - the name on everyone's
hips. "I should be so lucky!!"
And still it rained. For four and a half days we
trained and on the last half day there was a Valla Biathlon.
Mr Murray, using his life saving ingenuity, created a series
of courses for three age groups; 13-14, 15-16, 17-Opens.
All boys competed with great vigour and dedication - little
wonder as a monetary gift was awaiting the first boy from
each age group. Age champions were S. Bell, J. Watson,
G. Thomas, T. Parker, T. Woodman, and A. Burnett.
On Saturday, 9th April, a wet but fit and contented
group left a watery Valla Park. Their task completed, an
inner peace radiated from the coaches as they began their
journey back to Sydney. As the "fun-top" gobbled up the
miles to Sydney, I was left to ponder on the images that
were carved deep into my memory: such as Mr Roberson
in limbo, "Captain Courageous" Nick Greene at the 6.30 a.m *
run, Mr Gwynne-Jones and his study of entomology,
Mr Annear and his improvement of relations between USA,
Australia and Great Britain, Messrs Storey, Menzies, Myles
and Taylor the masters of gyration, our resident spectre
Mr Devin and the never-ending rain. I SHOULD be so
lucky!!!

EDITORIAL
Ah, how times have changed!
Week after week the SWR committee is bombarded
with complaints from the senior boys as to the relative boredom induced by the Record. So sayinp-, they hark back to
days when the competition, QTW, even sports results used
to make them eagerly await Friday form periods so that
they could devour the latest offering from the Record room.
Now with the same format set before them the charm
has somehow gone. But how do the younger brethren regard
these aspects of this most ancient publication? Do they
have the VI Form attitude, that it is boring, or does it still
hold some excitement or interest? The point being, is it
merely a process of time until the Record fails to captivate
interest or is it the fault of the committee?
Perhaps it is because of changing committees. I
remember wher~_I was in Ist Form the Record of the day
was running a joke competition. One week they were askin.for elephant jokes and, having submitted my one and only
elephant joke, I found that it had won joke of the week.
The joke was:
Q. What's the difference between an elephant and a
biscuit?
A. You can't dunk an elephant in your tea.
Well, the Record committee at the time thought it was
funny. Or perhaps it was the only printable entry they
received. If this is the case then the smut degree was just
the same then as it is now.
Maybe times haven't changed after all!
B. Howes
S.W.R. COMPETITION
Before we begin this week, it should be noted by all
contestants that, as of next week, no entries will be accepted after Monday, 3.00 p.m. Anything later will be deposited in our round file.
This week saw some fun return to the competition
(put your razor blades away, readers), with a number of new
competitors reaping the benefits of the 40 point bonus
offer (with every new entry to the Record). "Centerpeade"
was most notable of these, while "Fascist League" also prospered by providing for the judges a last bastion against
"The Communist Party" who tried to pass messages through
these blue-ribbon pages. Fat chance, comrades.
"Juz Dont Cahr" did precisely that and remained
stagnant, while "Aztecian Deviant" jumped past "B.Brush/
H.B. Bear" to challenge the front runner "Verbal Indiscretions". "Thunderslugsrgo" spluttered up the table, closely
followed by "Dormorix".
A number of front-running entries failed to enter,
which has allowed the top three to make a break on the
field. This week could be the make or break week for a
number of campaigns. "Womens Pregnant Basketball" made
an unwelcome return to no form whatsoever, and would be
better off writing to "Dolly" where perhaps letters might
even be opened.
S.W.R. Competition continued . . .

Part B
Of course, the answer is simple. Being a Class III
Hyperspatial Hoverslug meant that it could only eave
Earth by engaging the ever-dangerous "Slug drive" which
has the undeniable effect (as most know) of throwing out
the navigation systems. The H.H. subsequently found itself
warped through time and space and into a frypar in a ritzy
French restaurant in Glebe, where it was served as
'Escargot de la Maine' for $21.95 (drinks not inc-uded).
The Weasel, by leaving Planet X, greatly disturbed
the inhabitants who spontaneously combusted, cr-2ating a
supernova which unfortunately engulfed the weasel which
had not quite reached warp speed. The goanna, finding noone to run into, disappeared into the nearest black hole
(avoiding the Laurie Brereton billboard) and has not been
seen since. Pluto, by the way, found it was time for
dinner anyway, and went home leaving scientists on Earth
baffled and wondering whether their indigestion was caused
by that dodgy French meal they had the night before.
(Catcutatiou checked and vni6ied - Ed. ) No-one got
close but some interesting answers were:
"They crashed. They died." (Herbal Flower Pc.t Man)
"Venus was taking him out to lunch" (Still Illiterate)
"The goanna was delayed by a storemen & packers strike.
The weasel was pro-apartheid and thus refused to
enter a black hole. The slug couldn't find a dollar
coin to pay to get over the bridge to the laurch
site." (Fascist League)

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
"PLAN B"
"Throw the switch, Gregory!"
The lamp in the overhead projector dimmed and the
neon light on the ceiling flickered into being.
"It will never work, Frank," Greg declared despondently. "You've already asked her once and she said 'no'
straight out. Turned you down flat."
Greg indicated 'flat' with a sideways sweep of his
downturned palm, sending a rather gaudy table lamp to the
floor with a spectacular crash.
Unperturbed, Frank slapped Greg on the back, and with
a hearty laugh declared: "A good strategist always has an
alternative plan up his sleeve, Greg. By the way, don't
stoop - you look like a hunchback."
Greg straightened fractionally as Frank strode to the
doorway. Just before he passed through he turned and said
with a smile: "She won't say no when I tell her I've got
a sports car, now will she?"
Shaking his head in amazement at his friend's genius,
Greg followed him out through the door.
Greg tried to whistle, couldn't, and clapped instead.
Frank looked good. He had managed to dress up while still
retaining a casualty nonchalant appearance. His father's
gold watch shone on his wrist and his sunglasses were perched on top of his slicked back hair. It was 7 o'clock at night.
He had left nothing to chance; not by sheer coincidence had his weekly shave fallen on this day. No, nothing
must be out of place. All must suit the image. He clutched
the Ferrari key ring and smiled in anticipation.
"Get in," he said softly to his accomplice.
The car slid gracefully to a stop at the side of the
road. The harsh light from a nearby telephone box pierced
the cool night air.
"O.K. just check that the booth's all right." Frank
commanded.
Greg looked inside: "Telephone book in tatters - check!
"Mindless graffiti on walls - check!
"Money-box scratched by crowbars - check!
"Phone and cord in one piece, dial tone sounding well that was lucky!"
"Good. Now you're sure you know what to do?"
"Absolutely," cried Greg confidently.
"Right; then let's syncopate our watches."
"Don't you mean synchronise, Frank?" asked the everhelpful Greg.
"Precisely, syncronate - that's what I said."
They syncronated their watches and Frank lowered
himself into the car while Greg waited by the phone booth.
The car purred down the silent street.
An extremely tired Torana collapsed at the gutter's
edge. The paintwork was scratched and faded, with just
enough contribution from the local avian population to give
it that Ken Done look. The left rear door was dented, as
were both bumpers. A misshapen Australia sprouted from
the bonnet where the radio aerial had been.
As Frank got out he quickly checked to ensure that
the trees in the garden obscured this particular spot on the
roadside. Breathing heavily, he walked around the corner
to the front door. He grabbed the doornock assertively and
rapped the solid door with that special combination of
bravado and stylish control which he had practised for so
long. Quickly he glanced at his watch. Seven thirty. He
had five minutes.
When she opened the door his heart jumped, but he
was prepared for these palpitations and showed no visible
sign of anything but total style.
She looked at him rather disinterestedly and greeted
him. Bells chimed in Frank's head as her voice danced on
Page 61.
his eardrums, but he retained his composure.
"I'm here to reaffirm my great desire that you
should accompany me to the dance exactly one week from
this Saturday," he explained to her as he led her quickly
down the entrance hall to her living room. The phone was
there, waiting.
"Oh God, Frank, I've already told you - I'm going with
Stefan to the dance. Hasn't that penetrated through here
yet?"
She tapped him playfully on the forehead. The glasses
sat tight. At least she wasn't very angry, he thought.
"Far be it for me to cast aspersions on Stefan's reputation, but I would have thought that a mastery of the
English language, not to mention feet less than the size of
the Hindenburg, would be prerequisites to choosing a date
for a dinner dance. Besides," he chuckled quietly, "I'm a
much snappier dresser than he." The Mickey Mouse watch
Frank had left at home did not choose this moment to
cross his mind.
"Well, anyway, I'm going with Stefan and that's that,"
she said rather sharply as she looked significantly at the
front door.
"That's certainly a pity; and me with a brand new full
licence. Mind you, it was a lucky thing my twelve months
were up just now - 'P' plates on a Ferrari are so gauche,
don't you know."
"Ferrari!?" she exclaimed.
The phone rang. Perfect! he thought.
He watched as she moved towards the phone near the
doorway to the hall. Nonchalantly he looked at his watch:
"Lord! Is that the time?" he cried, "I must be off."
As he turned towards her to leave, the keyring he was
fetching from the dark recesses of the leather in his jacket
pocket somehow slipped from his fingers and fell to the
floor at her feet. The !-eys jingled and the black stallion
pranced as the red-and-ye Ilow -bordered plastic bounced
slightly and settled into the expanse of the carpet.
"Silly me!" he laughed as he retrieved the keys, giving
her just enough time to see the unmistakable trademark.
"I'll be seeing you later," he stated as he strode down
the hall.
Dazed, she focussed her attention on the receiver in
her hand. A nasal voice declared: "This is a Telecom
public opinion poll. Could you please answer a few
questions?"
As he passed the front door Frank broke into a trot,
rounded the corner and leaped into the Torana. He revved
the engine, which made the sexiest growl it could manage.
As the car bounded out of the gutter the clatter of metal
against concrete went unnoticed beneath the engine's roar.
Greg removed the peg from his nose as he fellinto
the car. He gave a whoop of delight and the conspirators
congratulated themselves heartily. It had gone perfectly,
just like a dream.
"Once she's dumped Stefan she'll have to go to the
dance with me," he declared as the car stopped behind his
house, completely out of sight. "On the night I'll borrow
Dad's car, tell her the Ferrari's in dry dock, or the silk
parachute was torn and the car's being stored at the
dealer's, or something."
"So now what," asked Greg eagerly.
"Now you push off," ordered Frank, "She might be here
any minute."
Greg shuffled off dejectedly and Frank noticed that
besides his stoop he seemed to have developed a limp.
Frank went inside.
The door-bell rang and he answered inside ten
seconds. It was her. The moonlight was breezing through

her golden hair as she stood on the front step. Frank
nearly swooned.
"I just wanted to see if your offer was still good,"
she husked.
Frank nooded dumbly.
"Oh good," she purred, "So I guess I'll be seeing
you Saturday week."
Frank murmured something inaudible, probably a confirmation of her statement.
She ran the index finger of her right hand down his
cheek and smiled. Frank gripped the door-jamb tightly.
"Oh, and I thought you might like this," she said
as she reached into a shopping bag by her side. Frank hadn't
seen the bag when he first opened the door. He could have
cried as she handed him the metal object.
"By the way, Frank," she said over her shoulder as she
began to walk off, "You should watch what you're doing Torana hubcaps on a Ferrari are so gauche, don't you know?"
She disappeared down the path.
Frank stood there for a very long time. He gazed at
the moon. Ideas were forming inside his brain, congealing
slowly, but with definite purpose. Plan C was under way.

VALLA ATHLETICS CAMP REPORT
- Another View!
During the first week of the holidays the Athletics
Camp was held at Valla Park, Nambucca Heads. It was a
huge success despite the weather which was far from ideal;
it rained continuously which made training all the more
difficult. Undeterred by the rain, everyone trained twice a
day and it is this sort of dedication which should see a very
favourable result at the G.P.S.
In the evenings there was usually some form of entertainment. At the disco Nick Taylor and Mr Gwynne-Jones
led the way on the dance floor, while the Talent Night was
definitely one of the highlights of the camp. Tim Woodman
and Lachlan Menzies showed some unexpected hidden talent
with their rendition of "You've Lost that Loving Feeling"!!
They were only upstaged by the masters who, dressed in
wet suits and dancing to Kylie Minogue's "I Should Be So
Lucky" were truly unforgettable.
Finally, the team trained with great purpose and
dedication and nothing more could have been asked of them.
Hopefully this determination and commitment will be
reflected in the carnivals and the G.P.S. this year.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
1988 MUSIC CAMP
This year's gathering of musicians was held at Camp
Kedron near Ingleside from Thursday, 28th April, to Sunday,
Ist May, during one of the wettest periods of the April
monsoon. The camp was a great success. Good food, good
company and the added luxury of not having to wash up.
The accommodation was comfortable but Hut B, consisting of III formers, spent some of the night fighting off
killer mosquitoes. Meanwhile, masters and IV formers could
be heard playing the tidal movement from Handel's Water
Music. This however was entirely appropriate as a gradually
receding lake of water left their quarters. As dawn broke
how thrilling it was to be awakened from sleep by the happy
tune "Good morning, good morning: it's time to rise and
shine" which was repeated ad nauseum.
On Friday night a latest release movie was shown.
I think it was released just in time for the Melbourne
Olympics. It was titled "The Eye of the Needle" but
to prevent those who wanted to go to sleep the openin
scene took place in the middle of the second reel.
All the credit for this must go to our world famous
projectionist, 20th Century Fox and to his audio-
from the bible of David and Goliath. This illustrates to
us that faith can overcome huge obstacles.
The grand finale of the camp was the concert. An
enormous number of parents and friends enjoyed performances given by their sons. Thanks are due to Mrs Collins,
Miss Benn, Mr Mitchell and Mr Sharpe for helping us with
our music and to the head of the Music Department,
Mr Fox, who planned a great weekend for us all.
Our thanks also to the parents.

visual team of highly trained technicians who
nearly fixed things beyond repair. Unhelpful
comments from the audience such as: "I hope
it's insured" and "Can we go home now?" put
the team under great stress.
During those parts of the film in which we
were in great moral danger, 20th Century put
his hand in front of the projector. This kind
thought was greeted by loud booing.
However much serious work was accomplished. A combined choir of all present was
in fine form thanks to Mr Mitchell's conducting and his profound statements of encouragement, e.g., "mmm
interesting!"
Miss Benn could only be described as
"la stupendous" as she almost single-handedly
and valiantly held the soprano line. Miss Benn's voice was
also brought to a state of high excitement as a result of
being hand fed delicate morsels of apple pie. Some said
she did it for her voice but others believe she did it for
'ADARE'.
On Sunday morning Mr Lewarne visited us at Camp
Kedron to conduct an informal chapel service. He retold
to us in a humorous modern form the wonderful story taken

The attention of the School community is drawn to
the ample parking facilities which are available in Bishopsgate Avenue by the Union Street entrance to the school
grounds. Both undercover and open air parking is available.
This is augmented on special occasions by the opening of
either or both of the Edward Street entrances to the school
ground or the asphalt quadrangle.
These facilities are provided to discourage, indeed
to prevent, parking in the Front Drive. Parking space is
extremely limited there and unauthorised parking can
prevent access to those who legitimately seek it. These
include those who have professional or business appointments in the school, delivery vehicles and tradesmen, those
who live on school premises, and those who seeK access to
School House or Robson House. On normal occasions these
people comfortably fill the Front Drive.
1here is also the matter of emergency access by
Fire or Ambulance vehicles. Since the beginning of this
year there have been several occasions when such access
would have been impossible.
On the occasions when a large crowd is expected
the Front Gates are closed. 1his is often nullified by
Isomeonel opening them and then leaving them open. Ihis
produces chaos and frustration to all concerned. Boys,
who are 'expected' to be boarders, are not usually placed
on the Front Gates. This is because they are not available,
as on Saturday mornings, or because their work is disrupted,
as at night. Nor should they be expected as a matter of
routine to police the gates. The number of occasions on
which the Front Gates need to be closed has increased
very considerably in recent years.
Vehicles which park in the Front Drive after 10.00
p.m. also cause considerable inconvenience to the large
number of people who steep on the School premises as the
drivers start their engines and move off.
For all these reasons, members of the School
community are asked to use the Bishopsgate or Edward
Street parking facilities when they come to the School,
particularly at night and on Saturday mornings.
Full co-operation in this matter will be much
appreciated.

EDITORIAL
With the approach this Saturday of the G.P.S. Athletics
Carnival at Riverview, may be it is time to look at the
feeling of apathy of some that can be felt around the
school towards support for this major event. Not only for
tomorrow's athletics carnival but also for sport in general.
This school has a fine sporting reputation which
year after year it proves in all sports. Be it onthe river at
the rowing, or on the field playing rugby and cricket, to
mention a few. And yet, when it comes down to support
how do we rate?
The past few years at the G.P.S. Athletics has seen
us outnumbered by other schools such as St Joseph's, King's
and St Ignatius'. How do you think the competitors feel
about this after training for weeks and then not getting
the school's full 100% support, while the competition revel
in theirs.
Some may say that we have no Jwar cry' how can we
barrack properly? But if you ask an athlete he will tell
you from experience that a full-blooded chant of "Shore"
from the mouths of many when one is competing is ample
in its task of conveying support and there is little to compare with the feeling of straining to win and hearing that
chant coming from the throats of multitudes of Shore boys.
This is not to say that support is at an all-time low,
far from it, in fact it is on an increase as can be seen by
the marvellous support at the "Head of the River" this year,
but this Saturday and, for that matter, any of these coming
Saturdays in which the Ist XV are playing, why not come
down and support yourschool and its competitors so as to
keep up the reputation of Shore as a premier sporting school.

S.W.R. COMPETITION
Another week of interesting answers (not all clean).
The top five have clearly pulled away from the pack, they
being "Verbal Indiscretions", "Aztecian Deviant", "Basil Brush
& Humphrey B. Bear", "Still Illiterate" and "Kylie Minogue
Fan Club" (a personal favourite). A new entry this week,
"Eagle" looks to have good prospects for the future, climbing to the top 10 after only one week; well done.
Entries were in most cases creative (some too much
so). Keep your entries:
coming in
clean.
Last week: The droodle was, of course, a four-legged
ntergalactic Hydrospider looking down as it
descended to its home planet. Speculation that
the droodle was in fact Wacka the Chook looking
down at the round egg was rife until it was discovered that chickens have less than 4 legs.
An alternative suggestion is that the droodle was in
fact an abstract interpretation of a rush by 4 scientists to
grab the last Alka Seltzer to cure their indigestion, as
caused by "that dodgy French meal" from last week.
The question to the answer: "No, but sometimes it's
very itchy" was "Et tu, Brute?"
Round 8:

REPORT
On 25th/26th April Shore tennis players met a touring college from Zimbabwe. The visitors had an excellent
reputation after comfortable wins over the GPS champions
Newington College and the Western Australian No.2 side.
It was quickly realised why the Zimbabweans had such
a high reputation as they dominated in both the singles and
doubles matches over the two hot days. In the 6 doubles
and 12 singles, only John Watters was able to win his respective singles, giving him a 100% success record this year
for Shore in his singles.
Our play was understandably rusty as many had not
played since the end of the GPS competition, while the
visitors had played a lot of tennis in the last few weeks.
Despite the overall result, many matches were close and
we were unlucky not to do better.
A good time was had by all and the courteous hospitality of the Shore families to billet a player obviously
left a good impression of Australia to our remote visitors.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
ATHLETICS
TRIP TO
ARMIDALE
G.P.S. ATHLETICS
As three coach-loads of Shore Athletes (basketballers,
thundered out of
volleyballers, shooters, debaters,
North Sydney last Friday, there was from the start an atmosphere of expectation and adventure as we began our safari
to the 'glorious' New England.
Combining the ingredients of strong traditions, perfect
country hospitality, clean air and wide open spaces would
produce an excellent measure of The Armidale School and
the time we spent there. For 127 athletes who went
'travelling north' last weekend, this was surely one of the
highlights of the season, culminating in the G.P.S. Competition tomorrow.
Our arrival was warmly met by a large section of the
T.A.S. community; the Headmaster, Deputy Headmaster,
Sportsmaster, Housemasters, Prefects and a large number of
parents. From the McConville Centre on the School's Back
Field area, the Shore boys were introduced to their billets
and boarding house hosts for the weekend. The McConville
Centre became the focal point for many subsequent activities throughout the weekend.
Saturday provided an excellent opportunity for Shore
athletes to pitch themselves against the track and field. As
a G.P.S. selection meeting, athletes were keen to better
times, heights and distances, and rise to the challenge of
some superb country competition from T.A.S. athletes. The
team spirit was high and as the pits were raked, the bar
raised, the hurdles adjusted and batons changed hands, few
could question the enormous value of both the sporting and
social aspects of this excursion. Few will forget the depth
of our relay team participation in the concluding 4 x 100s
with 5 teams in the Open Division and one running an 8 x
loom . . . "it pays to be different . . ."
At the completion of the athletics events, the
B.J. Mattingley Sports Complex was the venue for some
excellent volley ball and basketball activities. T.A.S. won
the volley ball 3-1 and the 2nds basketball 25-14, whilst
Shore took the Ist basketball match 45-31. During the
earlier part of the day our shooters took to the range with
some excellent performances considering a strong cross wind,
Ted Fenwicke scoring an excellent 183 from a possible 200.
L. Bray, R. Doyle and J. Read teamed up in the
McConville Centre to take on T.A.S. and the affirmative
agreement in a debate "That it is better to be different"
and with eloquence and a considerable degree of style,
snatched a friendly victory by a seven point margin. From
the heights of Black Mountain to the floors of boarding
house common rooms, Saturday evening was a time to enjoy
some pleasurable country hospitality, and we all did.
A magnificent chapel service on Sunday morning was
followed by farewell speeches and exchanges of mementos
in Big School and from here we coached to Tamworth where
lunch was provided by T.A.S. parents at the Golden Guitar.
It was a tired but very satisfied group of athletes
who arrived home on Sunday evening, surely delighted by
the experiences of this trip.

CAREERS REFERENCE
The G.P.S. Athletics Carnival is tomorrow at Riverview. It is being held there because the Sydney Athletic
Field is being resurfaced. Thus Riverview will have an
advantage over us and the other schools; that is why every
boy is needed to support the athletes.
The team has been training since March and they
will be a force to be reckoned with. But we need your
support - every person makes a difference.
If the Head of the River is any indication, a large
and vocal crowd can be a source of great inspiration.
Make the effort - go and support the School;
you won't be disappointed.

HISTORY
WEEKEND
EXHIBITION
at 'ERYLDENE'
With last week's "Shore Weekly Record" you will have
received an insert relating to a historic schools' exhibition
to be held at 'Eryidene', an historic home in Gordon,
formerly home of Professor E.G. Waterhouse and now run
by the EryIdene Trust. Shore's contribution to the school's
exhibition will be a display entitled "The Waterhouse Era at
Shore, 1926-1936" put together by the school archivists.
Professor Waterhouse's three eldest sons attended Shore
during this period and the display traces the development of
the School at that time.
The exhibition will be held this weekend, 21st and 22nd
May, at 'Eryldene', 17 Macintosh Street, Gordon, and will
also feature historic displays from P.L.C., North Sydney
Girls' High School, Monte Sant' Angelo College and Gordon
Public School.

EDITORIAL
I his week I would like to discuss a topic which always
prominently in any discussion of the school between
masters, boys and also "outsiders" - a topic which
also has concerned me closely in the ten years I have
attended Shore.
The topic is 'SCHOOL SPIRIT'.
1he reason why Shore is held in such high esteem
today and is regarded as one of the top schools in Australia
is because of the reputation of those boys who have
achieved high scholastic and sporting results in their past
years at Shore. But equally important in the furtherance
of Shore's reputation is the attitude of and the support
given by the rest of the school towards those participants
giving their best, irrespective of the result achieved.
In other words 'SCHOOL SPIRIT' has to involve all
boys at all levels whether participating or not - not knocking
those who don't win an event but rather actively encouraging the boys chosen to enhance the prestige of the school.
Not everybody has the ability or inclination to play
in, say, the firsts team of Rugby, Basketball or Cricket the players in the lVths are equally important and will
possibly enjoy their games more than the boys in the firsts
due to a lack of pressure, etc. But irrespective of what
team level one has achieved, or even if one has not made a
team, a love of the school and all it stands for should
encourage all boys to support all school teams.
I am a great believer in the adage that the more you
contribute to something then the greater the satisfaction
gained, so consequently, I just cannot understand why some
boys can go through their years at Shore always criticising
the school, and what they didn't get from it,when invariably those same boys never attended a swimming carnival,
an athletics meeting, a school play or even the Speech Day.
DOES THIS APPLY 10 YOU???
If so, let me encourage you to become a total
supporter of Shore in every possible way and you will be
far happier in your time at school, as well as gaining the
benefit of belonging to the school community.
The future reputation of the school depends on
your contribution and support now!

S.W.R. COMPETITION
A
number of twists dominated this week's entries,
which saw a substantial rearrangement of the leaders board
(predominantly due to much appreciated bribes). "Verbal
Indiscretions" discreetly lost first place to a very humorous
(and generous!!) "Aztecian Deviant". Promising new entries
came from "Does Neatness Count" (yes, it does) and
"Dr Skitsophrenic & Mr Hyde" which caused great amusement among a multitude of other more sultry entries,
despite Mr Hyde's sadistic nature (please answer the questions next week). The "Womens Pregnant Basketballers"
finally gave us a further clue to their identity renaming
themselves the "Womens Pregnant Convict Impersonators":
we only wish they would get transported soon so as to end
this perverted drivel. As for the "Communist Party" who
can't even tell the difference between a triangle and a
skull & crossbones, we needn't fear invasion from them
but nevertheless they finally reversed their pattern by going

SOCCER BECOMES A G.P.S. SPORT
Following approval by the Headmasters and the
A.A.G.P.S. Committee, the 1988 football season will see
the start of the G.P.S. Soccer competition for the Ist and
2nd X1 teams.
The King's School has donated a cup for the Ist XI
Competition to be known as "The Wanderers Cup". It
commemorates the first soccer match played in Australia
in 1880, when The King's School played The Wanderers.
Incidentally, The Wanderers was the first soccer club in
Australia formed at Parramatta, NSW, in 1880.
Along with the G.P.S. status for competition -)as
come the formation of the A.A.G.P.S. Soccer Referees
Association which aims to train and provide referees for
the competition games.
All Shore boys who have qualified last year o- earlier
are urged to join the Referees Association and to complete
their third grade badge with a field test this season.

F GROUND DAMAGED AREA - NORTHBRIDGE
After the heavy rain in April a section of the
northern bank of F Ground collapsed and if there is
further heavy rain there is a possibility of more damage.
The School has received professional advice about
the reasons for the collapse and the steps to take to repair
the collapsed section.
Until the area is repaired - and this may take some
time - people are asked to keep clear of the section
clearly marked by a matting fence.

S.W.R. COMPETITION
A despairingly poor set of entries marked tHs week's
competition, though among them all it was comferting to
find that some Shore boys have retained a sense of humour
though the previous 9 weeks of drudgery, entering our
excellent competition (tilled "A waste of space" by "Whacko
the Chook" whom we all hold dear). Noticeable absences
this week were the "Communist Party" (wonderirg when
they would take the hint) and the "Pregnant Basketballers"
who have been revealed in all their grossnes to be 1.B.
and C.I.
A new entry this week, "Jaws 32"
produced one of our better doodles.
Titling it "The nicest, cutest and one
of the world's most harmless creatures":
And from "Boy the Andrew Genius"
who has captioned his entry
"Boy hitch-hiking so as to
get this week's Record" "what style!):
~
EDITORIAL
"Oh no!! I cried as I turned to face the nine mocking
faces before me. "Write an editorial?! How do I do that?"
I searched the grisly visages for some small glimmer of
hope - some support. I found none, I screamed in agony.
Quickly I put pen to paper and made an exhortation
to the nation to "contribute to the Record", all the while
bemoaning my dreadful fate. Then I encouraged the readers
to support our sportsmen and show a bit of "school spirit".
A few quotations here and there and - yes! - I had completed my task. I had "filled up a space in the Record".
Those of you who for medical or other reasons find
it necessary to read the editorials in this illustrious publication may have noticed a slight similarity between successive "guest editorials" over the past months. In fact, roughly
speaking, five of the nine fell into either the "School
spirit - How and Why?" category or the "SWR - How you
can help for only 49( ~ a day" category. Another 3 dealt
with the subject of "Oh, look - I've got to write an editorial - what a shame" and one was a nostalgic reflection,
quite appropriate for the Bicentenary Year.
This is not to imply, however, that all the editorials
were exactly the same - for a start, they were all of
different lengths and had different names at the end.
The major difficulty in writing an editorial for the
SWR, besides not knowing how to write the same phrase fivE
times without seeming repetitive, is the fact that the
expression of opinion on many subjects is largely taboo,
and so the topic matter is somewhat limited in its scope
For, despite the obvious similarities, the SWR is not a major
daily newspaper and therefore editorials entitled "Billion
Dollar House on a Hill" or "Keating's ]-Curve confirms the
Law of Gravity" do not appear within these pages. If,
however, a reader is concerned about the editorial content
of the SWR, there is an obvious method for solving the
problem. This method should be employed by those
members of the student body who have rashly declared in
public their intention to "write a guest editorial for the
SWR." Should one be so inclined, one merely has to follow
these steps:
Write guest editorial;
Write "Dear Editor" at the beginning and
"'Yours sincerely, John Smith" at the end;
Hand editorial to a Committee member
Wait for it to be published .
With the disappearance of advertising from the SWR
this may be the best way to make your views known.
David Sedgwick
,
For Part B, the best entry came from
"Centrepeade" who expressed tne feelings
behind their entry as "We're patriots, God savE America,
and anyway we hate the Communist Party".
As Australian patriots, we at the Record don't agree
with the first statement but wholeheartedly back up the
second part of this entry.
That is it for the second last week of the Competition.
Good luck for this week's finale - carrying quadruple points.

Ist XV vs Napier Boys' High School
Shore met New Zealand's Napier Boys' High School
at Northbridge on Wednesday, 18th May. A very physical
side, the New Zealanders performed the 'Haka' before
kick-off in an effort to gain a psychological edge on Shore.
Napier was a supremely confident side before kick-off,
however it didn't take long before the Shore team displayed
the characteristic which will make them a very difficult
assignment for other sides this season, that characteristic
is guts. Napier having already played 11 games had established their combinations, something which Shore couldn't
possibly have managed in a few trial games. The game
was useful to establish various combinations and also
clearly illustrated to all concerned the importance that
quick second place ball will play this season with the new
laws.
The game was very even overall; neither side really
ever looked like scoring, although the Shore backs displayed
at times some good attacking movements which couldn't be
finished off in the final instance. Goal kicks dominated
the game to the extent that all 18 points were scored from
the boot, the final score being 12-6 to Napier.
In all, the game was very useful to highlight various
strengths and weaknesses and to allow the players to become
accustomed to the new laws.

Ist XV vs
Riverview, Saturday, 21st May
On the whole Shore's rugby sides performed relatively
poorly over the weekend, the 14As being the only 'A' side
to post a win.
The 2nd XV, like the Ists, realised that the number
of penalties must be reduced to enable a team to dictate
terms. Riverview posted first points via a penalty goal and
went further ahead to 6-0 at the break. By half time it
was clear that the game was to be an even contest - both
sides playing their first Saturday games and nerves causing
some unnecessary mistakes.
Riverview had won most of the ball, however were
unable to do anything with it. Again Shore faltered in the
final instance to deliver that final pass and the timing
among the backs was a little astray. The second half saw
a further penalty goal go to each side, the final result 9-3
to Riverview.
As a trial the game was again useful to establish
various combinations and to regard different patterns of
play. Consequently there have been several positional
changes this week. While the forward changes are not yet
definite,there have been several changes in the backline.
The indestructible "Max" (Adam Heath) returns to the wing,
McCathie moves to outside centre, Ellis moves into the
fullback role and Taylor comes onto the wing. This combination is very skilled and blessed with pace and promises
to run Scots ragged this weekend at Bellevue Hill.

Ist X1 SOCCER REPORT
Last Thursday week saw the 1988 soccer season get
under way, with the Ists playing at home to St. Andrew's.
Newly decked out in white jerseys with blue stripes, the
Ists and the small band of supporters were not quite sure
what to expect, but hoping to start the 204 game season
well.
The final result was a 12 goal match in a fiercely
contested 6-all draw. Phil Moss opened his account for the
season by scoring the first goal in a tally of three for the
match, which included a penalty and a direct free kick into
the top right corner. Mark Brownlee, Hamish Pearce and
Rob Whiley also chipped in with a goal each. Though
St. Andrew's were down by two at half-time, and were
allowed to get back into the match by some defensive mix-
SOCCER continued . . .
ups, the team, for which this was its first game together,
was satisfied by the final result, although admittedly a win
would have been preferable.
Heartened by this result and encouraged by the 2nds
strong 5-0 win, the Ists faced Riverview last weekend at
Riverview. The two teams started out nervously, but this
tentativeness on the part of Shore was abruptly ended by a
Moss header off a Pearce corner in the 8th minute. The
game was waged mainly in the Riverview half for the next
20 minutes, until it was Brownlee who dribbled through a
crowded and desperate Riverview defence to score. The
score was pushed to 3-0 less than a minute later, when
Graham stole the ball from the keeper and Brownlee finished, pushing it into the back of the net.
Shore came out in the second half with a great deal
of confidence and proceeded to keep the pressure on Riverview. In the 10th minute, Riverview's first real attack of
the half resulted in a penalty being awarded. The small
group of supporters held their breath as Cameron Jones
faced his first solo test. In keeping with the Shore tradition,
Jones saved it with great anticipation and proceeded to
illustrate some of the latest dance moves from the goalkeepers handbook. Less than 10 minutes later, Moss on a
break outwitted the Riverview keeper by placing the ball
through his legs and into the goal. Brownlee increased the
lead only minutes later when he received the ball down the
left side and proceeded to calmly slot it between the keeper
and the post with his left foot for his hat-trick and a 5-0
Shore lead. The last 10 minutes saw huge pressure mounted
by the Shore attack, which peppered the goals without
result but often with great elevation. It is a credit to the
defence of Pym, Fortey, Saunders and Fisher that the
Riverview attack was rendered virtually useless especially
in the last 30 minutes.
It was an extremely promising ~ tart to the season and
it bodes well for future matches, although certain areas
could certainly be improved such as support for the team
from the school, which would only bolster its performance
and would be greatly appreciated.
Shore 5 (Brownlee 3, Moss 2) beat Riverview

CROSS-COUNTRY
The first cross-country event of the 1988 season
was held last Saturday at Normanhurst Boys' High School.
As such, the numbers were down on last year due to a conflict of events; the C.A.S. Athletics Carnival was being
held and also a State Cross-Country event at Lansdowne.
The Shore Open team, consisting of the first 4 Shore
runners to finish, started the year on a promising note winning the Open Teams event. The U13 team also ran well,
with 3 very good individual results. S. Dalgliesh performed
well in the U16 event. Shore teams placed in 4 of the 5
races. C. Johnston (U16) ran a time fast enough to have
won the U16 event, but ran in the Opens.

COLLECTING BOYS AT NORTHBRIDGE
Considerable concern has been expressed by a number
of people about the potential dangers which exist in Sailors
Bay Road outside the School grounds between 5.00 p.m. and
6.00 p.m. on weekdays. There is heavy traffic on the road
at this time and virtually all parking space is already taken.
This situation is compounded by the fact that some parents
"double park" to wait for their sons or to pick them up
whilst others park across private driveways. These are all
the ingredients for a serious accident in this situation.
The School regrets that parking space within the
Northbridge grounds is severely limited unless damage is to
be done to the grounds themselves. It would, nonetheless,
strongly ask parents not to double-park or to park across
private driveways in Sailors Bay Road.
It is suggested that parents who wish to collect their
sons arrange a specific time at which to meet them outside
the gates. This should be after the practice is timed to
finish to allow the boys time to shower and change. The
pick up should preferably be arranged to take place outside
either set of gates on the North side of Sailors Bay Road
rather than the south side. If both parties adhere to the
agreed timing, there will be reduced need for double parking
or for parking in driveways. It is also pointed out that brief
parking is generally available at this time in the side
streets of the area.
The co-operation of all members of the School
community is earnestly requested in this matter. It is a
matter which involves the safety and security of all.

S.W.R. COMPETITION
My, but parting is such sweet sorrow! Today marks
the end of this extensive comDetition, and another one won't
be appearing until the next 6mmittee chooses to create
it. What a shame!
This final week's entries were just as pitiful as
preceding ones, probably a good reason to quit now. One
caption to last week's photo which appeared in several
entries in slightly different forms described the photo as"Librarians doing the STOCK taking." Groan!
And so to the, scoreboard: as we can see, "Aztecian
Deviant" reigns supreme (please, cash - not a cheque).
"The Carniverous Snail" romped home by correctly guessing
his final position and by presenting the committee with a
"Survival Kit" containing, among other things, 99 cents.
"Thunderslugsrgo" unfortunately bribed the wrong member
of the committee - sorry, you should find out who's marking
the competition next time.
"Carlos" didn't guess his place correctly but was
awarded bonus marks for supplying us with the real names
of no less than 16 competitors (all of whom seem to be in
Year 9): thanks, Carlos. "Womens Pregnant Basketballers",
your first blackmail demand will be arriving soon.
That's about it for this particular competition (shouts
of delight). To all you comp. fiends out there in Middle
School - you'll have to wait a while before you can once
again exercise your "wit".

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
Ist XI SOCCER REPORT continued . . .
With a 2-0 lead into the second half, Shore was eager
to push this further and the 54th minute saw Moss avoiding
the aggressive High defence to calmly chip the ball over the
diving keeper to extend Shore's lead to 3. However, it
seemed the running game which Shore had played in the
first half was begining to take its toll as the High team
began to get on top of the match. As Menzies had to De
dragged off when his legs refused to operate and Shore's
touch and play became more and more frustrated, High
proceeded to pressure-cook Keeper Jones and the defence
and were rewarded by two goals in the last twelve minutes,
which led to a very exciting last 5 minutes of High pressure
but Shore held out to finally win 3-2.
vs Riverview 31/5/88
Playing in their third game in less than a week, Shore
once again met Riverview at Riverview last Tuesday afternoon. The game started out entirely differently to the last
encounter, as R'view dominated the first 10 minutes and
Shore was limited to one goal in the first half from a
Pearce shot from outside the box. Somewhat shocked by
this revamped Riverview side the team went out aggressively in the second half which saw Shore assert their
dominance over the R'view side, especially in defence.
Goals to Moran (header off a cross for his first), Moss
and Brownlee (both on breaks) and some scorching runs by
'Fearless' Fisher saw Shore close out the match 4-0 winners.

DEBATING
Tonight eleven teams of debaters will be making the
journey to Abbotsleigh. The 7s will debate "That rocking
the boat is dangerous", the 8s "That we should take the
plunge", the 9s "That too many of us sit on the fence"
and the 10s, I Is and 12s will receive their subject on the
night. This will be good practice for the opening debate of
the G.P.S. season, against Sydney Hich School, at Shore on
17th June. Before that night, however, there will be an
afternoon debate on 10th June, when three teams from
Roseville Girls' College will be coming to Shore to debate
at 3.30 p.m. We hope to have an audience for that debate
so pleas try and come if you are free. Afternoon tea will
be served following the debate, so please try and come if
you are free. Afternoon tea will be served following the
debate, so not only will you have a chance to hear some
good debates, but you will also be able to meet the visitors
socially.
We would be grateful for donations of supper-type
comestibles on the night of the debate against Sydney High.
Reminders will be given (constantly)!

Ist XV vs The Scots College
Shore, out to prove that they are not soft centred
chocolates, improved greatly on the day in which the top
3 grades, as well as the 16As, 16Bs and 14As all had
resounding victories. A concentrated and intense training
programme was adopted last week in order to improve
'ruck' play particularly. The benefits of this were displayed in the Ist XV game.
The Scots team were immediately put off their game
as Captain Grant Le Lievre ran out to the middle of the
ground rather than in front of the Scots crowd where the
Scots team were lined up. Scots were forced to move to
the centre as Le Lievre wasn't about to take a backward
step, hence indicating that Shore intended to dictate terms
from the beginning.
Forward mobility and plenty of running in the backs
provided what was commented on by many as "a most
exciting game to watch". This was allowed because of quick
second phase ball as a result of the aggressive display by
the back row of Madgwick, Cobcroft and Fenwicke. The
securing of this possession allowed the backsto attack Scots
who were going backwards because of the cohesive drive
over the loose ball. When Scots did win the ball it inevitably broke down in their backline. Firstly they were going
backwards; secondly, good pressure was being applied by the
back row and the inside backs and, thirdly, the ball was
well tied up by Le Lievre and Urquhart in particular, forcing
the scrum feed to go Shore's way. The securing of this
possession enabled the backs to see lots of ball with which
to attack.
The Scots backs found Brown and McCathie harder to
stop than inflation as a combination of diligent stepping and
controlled changes of pace saw them make numerous inroads
through the Scots defence. Unfortunately the final pass
went astray on at least 3 occasions, largely as a result of
a lack of support.
The first half started with McCathie kicking an early
penalty goal. Not long afterwards successive mistakes saw
Shore penalised as a few excited hands got carried away in
the rucks. This not only cost the team 50 metres but also
3points as Scots converted to make the score 3-3.
Shortly prior to half-time Brown potted a field goal
from general play after a Scots kick failed to find touch a costly mistake. The half-time score 6-3 to Shore
Shore continued to apply pressure in the 2nd half and
consequently was rewarded with its first try of the season.
What a sight it was to see the fuel injected, turbo thrusted
"Max" stand up his opposite number and sprint the next 30
metres to score. The benefits of quick phase ball were
clearly shown. Madgwick attacked the loose ball, Dowsett
secured it and the attack down the blind side saw Heath
score. Another highlight of the match involved Le Lievre
and a few over-excited Scots contenders. Grant took a hit
to the head, however showed his controlled aggression by
not striking his opponent.
When the final whistle blew, Shore was in front 10-7.
The team would like to thank all those who endured the bad
weather and hopes to see them again tomorrow at Northbridge for the encounter with Knox.

"LOOK NOW"
If you missed out on getting into "Pirates"
never fear, the 1988 Shore Revue is HERE!!!
All budding actors, musicians, lighting, props and
back stage crew, anyone interested at all.
Introductory meeting - Friday, 10th June 12.45 p.m. - Playfair Hall. Be there!!
Before the Saturday turned sour in the afternoon, the
Newington Cross-Country was staged at Macquarie Hospital.
On a very difficult course, with about 60% of the 2.7 km
loop ankle deep mud, the Shore competitors found it much
harder than the previous week. With an amazing 151 boys
in the U14 event, and 95 in both the U16 and Open events,
places were lower than at Normanhurst.
The Shore Open team was beaten by The Kings School
and will have to consolidate their training at the beginning
of the season to try and peg back the strong King's team
by the G.P.S. Combined Cross-Country meeting at the end
of the season. This is the first time the Shore Open A team
has been beaten in over 2 years at a G.P.S. Cross-Country
meeting. Outstanding individual results were N. Johnston
and J. Watson in the U/14, 9th and 10th respectively from
151 starters. Well done!

Ist X1 SOCCER REPORT
vs Knox Grammar School 25/5/88
Following the previous w ek's strong win over R'view
the Ist XI made a trip out to the backwaters of Turramurra
last Wednesday week to play Knox. The weather was
typically English for the match with constant rain and wind
being the order of the day. The weather and reputation of
Knox had a marked effect on the Shore team which could
not find the flowing play which had earned them victory
against Riverview. As such the first two periods saw much
of the play going Knox's way, with one goal being scored
in the first half (Shore being unlucky to score itself), while
in the second half some desperate defence could not
prevent two Knox goals. Pym provided the small crowd
with a heartstopping shot over the Shore goal to clear out
of defence, but he assured this reporter he knew what he
was doing. The third period saw Shore play pick up, and
keeper Jones knocked down after coming too close to Knox
boots, but Shore was unable to peg back the lead and
finally went down 3-0.
vs Sydney High School 28/5/88
Against High on Saturday the team was confident of
doing better. As with the previous week the game started
tentatively, though Shore quickly began to dominate through
a stronger running game, with breaks by Graham and
Brownlee, which finally bore fruit in the 17th minute when
Graham found an extra five metres of speed and put the
ball past the keeper for his first goal of the season. As
Shore continued to apply pressure and the defence once
again held firm, it was finally ex-keeper ('Manic') Menzies
who followed a ball through to push it past the goalie with
the greatest composure, 10 minutes before half time.

GIVING 1988
For many years there has been an unenforced policy
that all boys of the School are to attend the annual Speech
Day at the end of the year.
This year all boys in Senior School in Forms I - V,
together with Prefects and prizewinners in VI Form, will
be required to attend. The ceremony will be the formal
conclusion to the school year and boys may not expect
leave from the occasion.
The holding of a separate Preparatory School Prize
giving the previous evening is one factor which now makes
possible the application of this policy. As before, all
parents will be welcome.
R.A.I. Grant, Headmaster
SHORE HOUSEPARTY
Application forms will be appearing soon for this
weekend of worship, ministry, fellowship and spiritual
refreshment. It is open to all boys from Forms I-VI
who wish to attend.
It will be held again this year at Excalibur, North
Richmond. It will be directed by Mr J.J. Jenkins,
Year Master of III Form. Mr K. Gilmour (Year Master
of Il Form) and his wife will be houseparents. Other
staff will also attend. Leadership will be provided by
boys from the Upper School Crusader Group.

ATTENTION V FORMERS!
Do your career plans include one or any of the following?
Law
Politics
Journalism
Anything vaguely egocentric?
Does Jana Wendt send a chill up and down your spine?
Do you long to say "That's Life" on national television?
Is your ambition in life to have people recognise
you in the street?
If your answer to the above questions is "Yes", and
you feel that you could use some helpful media exposure
right now, why not join the
1988/89 SWR Committee!
Yes,become a household name within weeks! Influence
the literary development of an entire generation (or at least
the School's centenary students). If you shun the spotlight, but tend to fall asleep in form period, then the SWR
can give you useful employment. If you enjoy licking stamps
there is a special position in the SWRC just for you.
Sad but true - this term is drawing to a close, and
with it falls the curtains on this present committee. Hot on
the heels of the beginning of Term III rears the ugly head
of the . . . H.S.C. Trials (screams of terror). Since the
SWRC's ability to produce a Record every week will be
somewhat diminished from Term III onwards, we, the
members of the committee, are to relinquish our "control"
of the school print medium. Of course, this is not a cause
for concern, because somewhere out there in the Vth Form
throng there are 10 boys prepared to selflessly sacrifice
Periods 3 and 4 on Fridays for the benefit of the school.
Whether or not the same ten boys will be prepared to
sacrifice some of their own free time for the Record
remains to be seen.
If you suspect that you might be a purveyor of boundless
wisdom and would like to join the next SWRC, first ensure
that you possess the following qualities:
ability to create
Editor:
(perhaps insinuate?)
ability to collate
Sports Editor:
ability to administrate
Administrator:
(hence the title)
ability to salivate
Secretary:
Committee
ability to vegetate
member:
To enter the running for the hotly-contested positions
on the SWRC, write your Name and Form on a piece of
paper, describing the position you seek and why you think
you're qualified. A small piece of creative writing might
help to prove that you actually are a "brilliant English
student" or whatever else you claim to be. Of course, as
described above, literary leanings are not requirements for
all of the positions in the SWRC. Please hand your entries

box) A.S.A.P.
EDISTORYAL
His name was Ricardo Passionfruit, and he was onto
something. Actually his given name was Ignatius Ricardo
Passionfruit, but he had had his name changed by deed poll,
for obvious reasons. At this particular moment, his reporter's nose sensed a story.
He watched the man in the dark fedora and the overcoat. Suddenly feeling a need to think, RP dug greedily
into his coat pocket and withdrew a small candy, unwrapped
it, and popped it into his mouth. Quickly he spat it out,
just before the soft, oozing caramel centre could spread
through his mouth. He selected another, this time more
carefully - Aahh! - hazelnut centre; much better.
Chocolate-chewing helped him focus his thoughts.
The man in the overcoat seemed to share Ricardo's
passion for chocolates, for he was standing in front of a
confectionery store, licking his lips. As a bolt of lightning
pierced the greying sky the man entered the shop. Ricardo
moved closer, and when the man re-emerged RP was near
enough to see the label on the box under his quarry's arm:
Dairy Milk Chocolate with Cream Centres. I might have
known, thought Ricardo.
Yet it was not the mysterious man's choice in sweetmeats that had first brought him to the attention of Ricardo.
It was more in the way he had slipped the railway attendant
a 100 bill when he couldn't produce a ticket, instead of
claiming to have boarded at a station whose ticket office
was closed, as a well-seasoned commuter might have done.
It was more in the way that he had bought 4 copies of the
one newspaper and then "read" one for 10 minutes on a bus
seat outside the station while the paper was upside-down.
His headgear was surprising - if he was a local he probably
wouldn't have a hat and, if he was a tourist, he woulJ have
been wearing an Akubra. Yes indeed, thought Ricardo,
there was something unusual about this man, somethi -ig
intangible, which only a reporter of his calibre would
detect.
The man was walking up the street now, jauntily,
without fear. Ricardo watched as the man sidestepped a
ladder upon which a signwriter was labelling an advertisement for Swan. Hastily Ricardo followed.
Lightning crackled and a few large, heavy drops of
acid rain crashed against the pavement. Ricardo's qL-arry
had just turned a corner. As RP emerged from behind a
telephone booth he saw the man remove his hat as he
stepped into a taxi. Crossing the road, Ricardo also stepped
into a taxi, but was not seriously injured. Rushing to the
stand from when the man had departed, RP spied a stip of
paper lying in the gutter. He grabbed it and read the florid
print which contained an invitation to the wedding of a
certain Sir Reginald Fortescue-Smythe and Miss Susar
Sycophe.
Ricardo could imagine the kind of occasion which this
wedding would be. What he could not imagine was the man
in the fedora being there. He might have money to throw
at ticket inspectors, but he certainly wasn't one of the jet
set. R.P. imagined him as the kind of person who, when
asked "Tea? Coffee?" would reply: "Yes".
Popping up his umbrella Richard sighed. Interest in
his column had been waning lately. There were even
rumours of a plan to move him to Page 27. Maybe tl is
was the story he needed. It might be nothing - just another
society gala, with a few unusual guests. Either way he
needed some more information, and he knew just where
to get it.

Last term saw the debut of a highly intermittent
column in the Record, highlighting this side of the "Subjects
in the school" question. Following the "... underhanded, side
swipes ..." at the bastion of schooling, English, of w' ich its
department has mentioned that it did not wish to be singled
out, the SWR has been forced to launch another foray, this
time into the wonderful world of (wait for it)

. . .
MATHEMATICS
Mathematics is perhaps the most constant and unrealistic topic in the world. The main aim of this subject is
simplification. From the very start we learn how to reduce
huge numbers of numbers into smaller numbers of numbers.
We are taught that 5C plus 10( equals 15C when everyone
knows that it really equals 3~ after the taxman and the
bank have been paid.
Once we have sorted out the basics, which only takes
6 years, we then move onto numbers that cannot be seen.
For example, if a farmer has 12 apples but a man takes 14
what is remaining? Quite obviously, the farmer has been
trying to stay under the next tax bracket and thus has about
6 apples left. Mathematicians are quite happy to say that
he has negative two apples. That is that two of the apples
he doesn't have he has given to the man (which suggests
that the man is totally blind and/or stupid if he doesn't
realise he is being short changed) and now he is lacking
these two apples which he never had in the first place.
But, if these negative two apples multiply with another
negative two apples then the farmer now has four apples
and everyone is smiling. Mathematicians also enjoy proving
that of a school class more watch Scooby Doo than watch
Mighty Mouse, though this - is an obvious impossibility, which
delights most maths teachers even further. If something is
impossible then it is able to done in maths.
However, it is in higher maths that the teacher
delights, for students are able to figure out the area
between squiggly lines which have little or no meaning, that
the Bridge is 2 km away by first working out the distance
to Katoomba, or being able to prove that a circle is round,
or ultimately to prove the probability of drawing 5 aces in
a poker game is high provided a Smith & Wesson doesn't
beat it. For those who are really good however, they get
to study numbers that don't exist at all in the 'real'
numbers. When multiplied by themselves they become
negative which can't exist, but apparently does, which
usually prods the more devoted teachers to wax lyrical
about a type of paradise where rules are there to be broken
and anything is possible - a utopia called university maths.
Give me the ol' I + I = 3 and I'll be happy. Of course
this article will provide my teacher with the opportunity to
prove to us all that 80% and 82% when averaged gives a
mark of 37.5% and that the probability of passing HSC
maths in his class is about -1.
A PROBLEM OF NATIONAL SECURITY
You, a member of the S.H.O.R.E. Secret Service,
have come across twelve ball-bearings, ten of which are
vital to the state of this great nation's economy. Your
reliable intelligence agency (code name S.W.R.) has told
you that one ball-bearing is "bad". It is a different
weight. You also have a coin-operated weighing machine
that uses the new 3% pieces for one weigh. With only
three of these new coins, you must determine which
ball-bearing is "bad" and so save the economy from
the plummeting J-curve.

DEBATING
Last Friday, 3rd June, seven teams travelled to
Wahroonga to debate against Abbotsleigh. The 7As
(Cunningham, Quinlan, Vincent) and 7Bs (Squires, Wood, Fox)
debated "That Rocking the Boat is Dangerous" and both
debates were won by Shore. The 8As (Bedrossian, Holden,
Broun) and 8Bs (Robinson, Bragg, Parker) debated "That We
Should Take the Plunge" and Abbotsleigh won both debates.
The IOAs (Holland, Doyle, Gill), 2nds (Amos, Horrobin,
Warburton) and Ists (Wilson, Howes, Fountain) all won their
debates, the subject being "That the Popular Press Aims
too Low". The efforts of Amos and Horrobin are particularly commendable: Horrobin was co-opted from the 10s due
to the illness of R. Doyle and Amos, who had gone as a
spectator, unexpectedly found himself debating when a
Shore team member failed to arrive. It was an enjoyable
night and gave us much needed practice for the opening of
the GPS season when we speak off against Sydney High, at
Shore, on 17th June. It was pleasing to see several Shore
boys in the audience supporting their peers, and it is hoped
this trend continues. It is rather dispiriting debating to an
audience comprising an adjudicator and no one else!
This afternoon Roseville Girls College is bringing three
teams. Debates will commence at 3.30 p.m. The 7s will
negate "That we Owe more to John Bull than to Uncle Sam"
and the 8s and 9s "That the day of the single sex school is
passing." Afternoon tea will be served after the debate.
If there are any parents willing and able to adjudicate,
please contact Mrs Valiance on 92 1209. We often need to
supply five or six adjudicators on home nights. We would
also be grateful for help with supper. If there is any parent

AN EXERCISE IN ANARCHY
Mr A walked up the cold and blustery hill to the
school in a suitably nonchalant manner. As usual he looked
untidy and unorganised. His tie, which this day was acting
as a windsock, was the regulation five centimetres from
the top button, which was of course undone. But A-man
couldn't care, and just to emphasise this point he said to
himself: "Huh, Ijuzdontcahr," to no one in particular, whom
he hoped would comment but didn't.
He continued to stroll into the school, past the authoritative figures at the gate, but perhaps predictably he
couldn't have cared if they had been someone really important, like the Brady Bunch. Nothing could phase this man;
no amount of disapproving glances, reprimanding tones,
threatening movements, or even finger wagging, could
affect this man - he was like a rock among an ocean of
staunch 20th century values. People greeted him, friends,
and he answered them, not because he cared (which of
course he didn't), but because he had nothing better to do.
" W hacha-do-on- tha- weekend?" they carelessly asked.
A. thought about the question, decided to answer it, decided
to ignore it, and finally said: "Notmuch, 1-trashed-ma-car."
His friends gasped, which gave him a distinct feeling of
control, but he instantly abandoned it in favour of chaos.
"Of course, Idontcahr," he said with a disinterested look, to
which his friends said: "Of course" and went back to looking
like they couldn't care about anything either.
A- man set his hair in the 'wild, crazy, spontaneous'
mode and went outside. To face the world. The whole
wide conservative world. A-man was followed by his
friends, but not for any reason, naturally. They just
happened to go outside at the same time as each other.
Mr. A looked at them disparagingly, decided he couldn't
spell it and instead gave them his strongest and most contemptuous stare. They froze and took up the casual position
on the nearest convenient lamp post of which there were
none, so they looked pretty silly. "Amateurs," he thought,
but then realised it didn't matter, and what if it did - he
of course wouldn't have cared. Life goes on, he whispered.
He could not change that, he realised. If he could he
wouldn't change it anyway because, of course, he
well, you know the rest.
Mr A wallowed in his self-pity; not a pretty sight, as
the self-pity tended to clash with the uninterested look on
his face. He didn't worry, and nobody worried about him.
Life washed over him as water washes over a dead body.
Nothing changed him. He changed nothing. He didn't care.
All he wanted to do was party. No one partied with him.
The realisation struck him. Life could take a while, he
thought, and wondered if he should make something of his
life. As the bell rang, he was shocked back to the real
world. Quickly, he lifted his head, saw a number of people
watching him, and adopted the regulation A-man position,
head slightly back, eyes looking at nothing in particular.
Then with an incredible amount of indifference he swept
past them all to face the rest of his life, which he thought
without changing step is going to be a very long time.
But he couldn't have cared. Which is perhaps a good
thing for, at that moment, he was run over by a renegade
panel van which quickly disappeared from view. You can
probably guess their reaction. B.J.E-W.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
PERSONALITY OF THE WEEK
G.P.S. CROSS-COUNTRY SHUTTLE RELAY
It was mud, mud and more mud at Macquarie
University last Saturday. A new concept was being tried
out, the G.P.S. Shuttle Relay. This course was a 2 krn loop
with the change for the 2nd and 4th runners visible from
the start. Despite initial confusion, the event was quite
successful and very spectacular. All teams started at the
same time.
The Shore Open Team, team 501 (C. Johnston,
T. Pollard, T. Woodman, A. Burnett) proved themselves the
most consistent team, coming second to High. In a sprint
finish up a mud-ridden hill, Kings were kept back in third
place. The Kings team may not be as formidable as first
thought. The team was third at the first change, fourth at
the second, 3rd at the third change, to finish in 2nd place.
In all 84 teams competed.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
RUGBY
vs Knox Grammar School 476788
Shore had a relatively successful day against Knox.
The 14A, 16A, 3rd, 2nd and Ist XVs all had solid matches.
the Ists ran on after Marty McDonald's 2nd XV had won
17-6 in an encounter where "Doggy Lyle" scored two tries.
The Ist XV again had several changes to its lineup.
Burney came up into the second row while Kerr and Burge
replaced the injured O'Donnell and Heath; however these
were not the only changes Shore encountered on the day.
Taylor had trouble distinguishing the fingers after a knock
to the head and he was eventually replaced by Lyle. Lyle
himself lasted only ten minutes and retired with a dislocated
finger. Jim Kerr, after putting good pressure on a 'bomb',
injured his ankle in the ensuing ruck and was replaced at
inside centre by Sammy Ditchfield. After the injury to
Lyle, Ditchfield moved to the wing, Kiss came on at fiveeighth and Brown moved to inside centre.
These changes along with the slush prevalent in the
centre of 'A' ground interrupted backline combinations and
continuity considerably. This was evidenced by cramping
sideways and passes which invariably ended up behind the
man. Shore's continuity was also interrupted by a host of
penalties, three of which were incurred on the Knox tryline.
Such misdemeanours wasted good scoring opportunities and
will have to be eradicated before this weekend's match at
Barker.
The first half saw some sloppy play and silly mistakes
and this factor, along with some aggressive defence by the
Knox backs, allowed them to score prior to half-time. The
try was converted to make the half-time score 6-0 to Knox.
After a humble half-time message by Mr Hawkins
Shore improved their play to score two tries in the second
half. The first came from a Knox lineout throw a few
metres from their own line. Cobcroft intercepted the throw
from Knox's number four man and lunged over to make the
score 6-4. From here play seesawed until Klem scraped the
paint from the newly painted goalposts and landed a field
goal. Shore went further ahead after Andy Burge took a
good pass from Ellis and leaving his opponent's comments
to be humbled by the Shore crowd, scored in the northeastern corner.
Thus it was that Shore emerged victorious 11-6 in a
game which on the whole was fairly even. It is important
to note that Shore was behind until the last 10 minutes.
While Knox's effort tapered off in this time Shore stuck to
their task with controlled heads and consequently won what
was a tough match - note that the game is never over until
the final whistle and that it is often in the last 10 minutes
where a game is decided.
- C. Klem
Ist XI SOCCER REPORTS
vs Knox Grammar School 4/6/88
On a field which was very boggy the Shore team met
the Knox side for the second time in less than 2 weeks.
Eager to better the 0-3 result, and maybe even record the
first win over Knox by Shore Ists, the Shore team started
strongly, as did Knox, with both teams having their breaks
but neither capitalising on these chances. Finally, in the
23rd minute, a Knox attacker was brought down by Moss in
the penalty area, earning them a one on one chance against
Cameron Jones. With hopes buoyed by his previous save,
the crowd waited with baited breath. The Knox star
refused to buckle under the pressure though and slotted the
ball into the lower right corner to give Knox a highly
valuable 1-0 lead. The rest of the firt half saw desperate
defence to keep Knox out, with Fisher providing the crowd
with his version of Superman in taking on a Knox winger.
The Knox goalie had his scares but made some good saves
to keep Shore scoreless in the first half.
In the second half, however, it was 'Jonesy' who
SOCCER (continued)
shined. With countless well-timed spoils and one incredible
leap ("one of the best saves seen in schoolboy soccer")
Jonesy was able to keep the Knox score at one while Shore
tried to level the score. Led by the seemingly tireless
Lachlan 'Manic' Menzies, the relentless Shore game began
running Knox to a standstill, while the mud came into
greater play in the second half, foiling both Knox and Shore
attacks and providing the crowd with some light entertainment. With 5 minutes to go Shore mounted a number of
last-ditch attacks, with Brownlee and Graham attempting
shots at goal, but these were halted by the Knox side who
came out 1-0 winners in a highly entertaining, well-played
match.
vs St Joseph's College 7/6/88
After the solid match three days before, Shore went
out onto a much better looking Northbridge F on Tiesday
to meet St Joseph's in the first round of the knock-out
Independent Schools Cup. With the wind playing a major
role, Joeys used it to maximum advantage and shocked the
Shore XI with a more attacking, but luckily scoreless, game.
It wasn't until the 24th minute, when Brownlee scored in a
crowded Joeys box, that the deadlock was broken, despite
some close calls on both sid".
Despite the 1-0 lead, Coach Williams made it known
he was not happy with the team and provided a pep talk
which shocked even the most passive of observers with its
vehemence, and obviously had an effect on the Shore team
which came out breathing fire. Ten minutes into the half
Mark Brownlee showed his magic which had been somewhat
hidden up his sleeve (so to speak) and ran through two
defenders and chipped over a diving keeper to make the
score 2-0. The game, which was becoming a race between
time and light, was far from over however, and in the 53rd
minute the ball was found (with the aid of a torch) in the
Shore goal to make the score 2-1. 'Magic' however brought
the lead back to two when he dummied a defender and
placed the ball in the corner of the Joeys goal for his hattrick. The game was called shortly after with both sides
beginning to wonder who was who, and the score being 3-1
to Shore, which now advances to the second round 13.J.E-W.

Episode the Second
Ricardo Passionfruit stood outside a glass door reading
the gold enamelled print. "Maria de Lucio - Sunday Supplement". RP hesitated slightly before opening the door calling on an old flame was never pleasant.
He stopped before her desk and saluted.
"Ave, Maria. How's life at a real paper treating you?"
She looked up and gasped. "Ricardo!" She gazed
at him adoringly through stunning green eyes.
"No, I still think blue looks better on you, Maria."
Disappointed, she carefully removed the contacts and
placed them in a plastic container. "What can I do for you,
RPT' she asked without malice.
He settled himself into a leather chair of Ital ian
design. Maria certainly had moved up in the world since
she had left RP's newspaper. She offered him a pack of
handcrafted Swiss chocolates. He popped one into his
mouth and spoke"Do you know anything about this wedding that's on
this weekend?"
"Do I know anything?" she exlaimed. "It's only the most
important social event of the year!" She reached into a
drawer and withdrew a cardboard file full of clippings. She
handed him the folder and began to speak:
"Reginald Fortescue-Smythe: born 1938. Raised and
educated in India but by the time he was I I or 12 the
Indians had taken over the place so his family returned
to England. His father had made a fortune in rubber
which he inherited in 1967. Moved to Australia in 1975
after stints in Rhodesia, Malaysia, New Guinea and Fiji
in various Crown appointed positions. Recently knighted
for 'services to the Commonwealth'. These days he
spends his time racing horses. He has a private race
course and a moderately sized private jet."
Ricardo watched her as she recited these facts and
saw that her golden hair fell to her shoulders. He sympathised - his seemed to be doing that a bit these days. He
wasn't getting younger.
Casually he leafed through the paper clippings and
picked up a recent one:
Weddings, Funerals and Horse-racing in Suva
Well-known Sydney socialite Sir Reginald FortescueSmythe, who is to marry Miss Susan Sycophe this Sunday
is flying to Fiji the following day for many and varied
reasons. The couple will be giving a second wedding
reception in Suva on Monday and then spending a few
weeks' honeymoon on the isle. On the Wednesday
Sir Reginald will attend the funeral service for his
famous racehorse Montelibar which was the toast of
the Fijian racing set in the early 70 1 s. Montelibar is
being flown from Sydney where he was recently put
down after breaking his leg. This well-loved horse
sired the equally famous Turkish Delight, who will be
raced on the Friday in the Coconut Cup, Fiji's premier
horseracing event. It is hoped that Turkish Delight
can repeat the success of his father.
it
Ricardo's head hurt as he replaced the paper in the
folder. He didn't seem to have learnt much. There was
only one thing for it:
"Maria, can you get me into that wedding on Sunday?"
Ricardo adjusted his bow tie and opened the taxi
door. He paid the driver quickly, not wanting to be seen
with aything less than a $100 bill in his wallet. He strode
assertively up to the doorman. With the aid of the invitation he had found, and a few carefully dropped names
suggested by Maria, he was inside!
He was stunned by the scene. There seemed tc. be
thousands of people - the men in white tie and tails, the
women in gowns of amazing variety and undeniable expense.
He wondered if all these people had been to the se-vice
that morning.
Ricardo manoeuvred himself towards the bar. While
he was still metres away he spied the mysterious man he
had seen on the street. He seemed to have got in despite
the fact that Ricardo had his invitation,and was seated at
the bar. RP reached the bar and ordered a drink. The man
looked uneasy and even more uncomfortable in a penguin
suit than Ricardo was. RP waited for the man to make a
move.
Suddenly there was a fanfare and a man appeared on a
raised platform and announced that the happy couple were
about to arrive. There were cheers and applause. Even
more people flowed into the great hall from outside, where
Ricardo could see a huge garden leading onto a rather
small but finely turfed racetrack. The imminent arrival of
Sir Reginald and his new wife held no great interest for RP,
but apparently it did for his companion a few seals away,
for he jumped up and reached for a suitcase which previously had remained hidden beneath his stool. RP had to
race to follow the mysterious man through the glittering
crowd.
The man seemed to be going the wrong way. He was
heading for what appeared to be the stables. Surely Sir
Reginald would arrive at the main entrance? RP followed
at a discreet distance as his quarry ran across the grass from
the mansion-like house. By the time Ricardo reached what
turned out to be the side door of the stables, the man had
disappeared.
Inside, the numerous stalls were filled with an incredible display of horseflesh. It appeared that Sir Reginald was
going to include a race as part of the spectacle of this
occasion. A number of grooms were tending to the horses,
so RP quickly moved on, through a solid oak door that
stood slightly ajar.
He appeared to be in some sort of laboratory, or
surgery. Ricardo would not have been surprised if Sir Reginald had a resident vet. Through a connecting door came
voices.
Sidling up to the cold steel door, RP peered through
the slight opening into the next room. To his astonishment
he saw a well-built man of about 50 whom he identified from
the newspaper clippings as Sir Reginald. What was he doing
out here? Why wasn't he in at the reception? Ricardo saw
the man he had been following, the mysterious man who
wore a Fedora and ate cream-centred chocolates, talking
quickly and softly to the bridegroom. Suddenly, with a
smooth twist of his wrist, he produced the suitcase and
opened it.
Ricardo stifled a gasp. Money! Hundreds of thousands
of dollars in neat little bundles. RP had a sick feeling in
the pit of his stomach. He wondered why he wasn't happy there had to be a big story in this somewhere! He was now
very intensely aware: aware of the cold metal door beneath
his fingers; aware of the pungent odour of chemicals in the
laboratory; aware of being extremely frightened.
Ricardo turned just in time to see the butt of a 38
descend on his skull. The world was black.

SOCCER continued . . .
the well-suited Kings gym. The Shore 3 team was placed
in arguably the hardest draw (which included the eventual
winners, Knox) and were unable to win. Shore I had to win
the final match of their draw to advance to the semis but
were beaten by the Kings I team. The Shore 2 team, consisting of Warburton, Pearce, Saunders, Graham, Fisher and
Kok, were undefeated in their draw and advanced to the
semis where they met a very aggressive Trinity side which
beat the Shore team 2-0 in a close match. Without a rest
the team faced the Kings side which had beaten Shore 1,
and it wasn't until the 13th (of 14) minute that Kings were
able to break a 2-2 game and win 3-2, leaving the Shore 2
team a very creditable 4th.

SOCCER
REPORTS
vs Barker College 11/6/L8
Barker's strong soccering reputation, enhanced by the
Shore 2nds going down 3-1, did not worry the Shore Ist XI:
the team was confident of holding its own, and set out to do
so. The first 15 minutes were all Shore's, with the occasional Barker attack, one of which resulted in an earthshattering collision between Fisher and Jones. Shore was
not shaken by this, and in the 16th minute Brownlee followed a through-ball into the Barker penalty area and was sent
cartwheeling by the aggressive, but crude, Barker defense.
Moss proceeded to put away the penalty to put Shore into
the lead 1-0. As with the previous games the middle period
of the first half proved to be a struggle of the midfield but
finally, however, it was Shore which cracked under the
strain, with a defensive mix-up and a momentary lapse of
concentration from keeper Jones, resulting in the ball shooting through Jonesy's legs and into the goal. Barker's subsequent enthusiasm was quickly drowned as Shore went back
into the lead when Graham followed a ball through and
calmy chipped it over the rapidly advancing keeper and
defem-e to m ~ tke the -,core 2-1.
So far this season the support for all Rugby games
has been good. Support for the Ist and 2nd XV afternoon
matches has been very strong and vocal.
This Saturday marks the start of the G.P.S. Competition
against Sydney High School at McKay Oval. Every boy
who has had the opportunity to play rugby would
realise the definite advantages when strong support and
encouragement are given by the School. Unlike certain
other schools Shore has no policy concerning compulsory
attendance at games. This enables and encourages
boys to show their school pride and spirit rather than
having it forced upon them. The boarders take the
lead in the School in showing this.
On Wednesday, 22nd June, Shore Ist and 2nd XV will
compete against St Joseph's College at Hunters Hill.
This will be a great opportunity for everyone to demonstrate the strength of his school pride and spirit.
Hopefully these two competition games will set the
standards for an exciting and well supported season
next term.
- Grant Le Lievre, Captain of Rugby
CROSS-COUNTRY
Kym Graham outmanoeuvres a Barker defender as the
Ist X1 goes on the attack
As Coach Williams predicted, the Barker ego was badly
bruised and Barker came out too fast for the Shore defence
which found the ball placed in the back of the net by the
well-placed Barker centre, levelling the score just I minute
into the second half. From this quick start the two teams
settled down to play determined and aggressive soccer for
the rest of the half. It was Graham who apparently broke
the deadlock with a fantastic turn-and-shoot goal from outside the penalty area, but as the ball was travelling back to
the centre and the Shore supporters were celebrating on the
sideline, the referee called offside. Despite the controversial nature of the call, the ball was dutifully sent back and
the score remained at 2-2. What followed was a remaining
20 minutes in which Shore was heavily penalised, and the
score remained at 2-2 until full time, thanks to some
desperate defence by Saunders (with a nice quadruple-twistwith-roll-tackle), Fisher, Fortey, Pym and Moss.
The drawn result was the best ever achieved by a
Shore team against Barker at any level, leaving the elusive
first win to be achieved next year. The Shore supporters
were themselves greatly entertained, very vocal and greatly
appreciated.
Independent Schools Indoor Soccer Tournament at Kings
Shore sent three teams of 6 (5 players and I sub)
to the tournament of 18 teams on Monday 13/6/88, held in
This week could be best called "sick week"! The recent
bout of sickness that has been in the school over the last
two weeks has had quite an effect on the squad. Tom
Pollard and Ben Campbell were both out in the Opens,
Antony Burnett was still very ill and Evan Fountain sprained
an ankle on the rocky King's course. All things considered,
Shore went very well to be placed 2nd in the Opens, a ~ air
way behind The King's School. Tim Woodman had an
excellent race finishing 7th.
In the U16, Holt Hardy's appearance has boosted confidence, the team finishing a close third: the second GPS
school, only 14 secs behind Scots. The U14s stole the show
with excellent individual performances: Nic Johnston, James
Watson, Andrew Hewitt and James Burrows robbed of a
possible Ist place by a non-working clock.
As soon as the squad is fully recovered Shore will be
able to pick up a few first places, if last week is any -ndication. Tomorrow is Shore's Cross-Country meeting at
Macquarie University, so come along and see what this
sport is all about.

Received from our Roving Rugby Reporter:
Dear Shore Community,
The absence of the Rugby report last week resulted
in several comments. In an eflort to apologise I also make
the point that "the report that wasn't" drew much more
attention and interest than any other report ever has.
It is interesting to note how we take things for
granted and that it is usually when we don't have something
that interest is expressed. At least one "report" will be
remembered.
Yours sincerely,
C. Klem.
STAFF CHANGES
At the end of Term It, we say farewell to
the following members of staff: Mr G. Tulloch,
Mr D. Yole and Dr F.S. Arnot.
Mr Tulloch has been assisting in the Preparatory School and is returning to England to undertake tertiary studies. Mr Yole is leaving to further
his career at another school. Dr Arnot, a former
pastor in the Baptist Church in South Africa has
accepted a call and will be taking a post at a Baptist
Church on the North Shore. We thank them all for the
work done at Shore and wish them well in their new
endeavours.

DEBAI ING
1 he weather proved true to form on Friday night, and
the first night of the GPS Debating Season was cold, windv
and slightly wet. 1he miserable weather was warmed by the
good audiences and delicious supper (thank you parents!)
and also by the fact that Shore won nine out of thirteen
debates. 1he subject for the night was; "1hat the User
Should Pay". High won the toss and affirmed, but our Ists
(M. Wilson, B. Howes, R. Mountstephens) won. The 2nds
(L. Bray, R. Doyle, J. Smith) and the Social Seniors
(S. Cottom, B.E-Warburton and E. Fountain) lost.
The IOAs (D. Holland, R. Doyle, A. Gill) won, as did
the I0Bs (3. Lyons, 3. Uther, F. Horrobin). The 9As
Hewett, M. Warburton, R. Scruby) and 9Bs (M. Heazlewood, R. Stokes, B. Vonwiller) lost.
The 8As (V. Bedrossian, R. Holden, N. Brour) and
8Bs (L. Gorham, D. Leahy, C. Bragg) won, as did the 7As
Williams, M. Cunningham, N. Chambers), 7Bs (S. Wood,
J. Quinlan, A. Vincent), 7Cs (M. Squires, 3. Dorney, G. Fox)
and 7Ds (C. Vonwiller, E. Cox and ~ '. ~_anham). 1he 7s and
8s debated "Ihat Military Iraining Should Be Compulsorv"
and our 7s in particular are showing great promise.
We would like to thank those who adjudicated, including Mr Gorham, Mr Perrin, Mr Rossell and Mr Weiss from
our staff, the several High adjudicators, and Mr Malcolm
Broun. We are also grateful to the boys who acted as
chairmen and supper- servers.
1he next debate will be against Sydney Grammar
School, on Friday, 22nd July, and once again will be at
Shore. Do come - you will have an exciting and
entertaining night.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
EDISTORYAL
The Final Chapter
"And as they're rounding the turn for the final stretch,
it's Strawberry Ripple by a nose, Caramel Surprise coming
up fast on the inside . . .
Ricardo shook his head to clear it and moved his hand
to feel the lump that was growing up through his hair,
matted by blood. But his hand wouldn't move. As consciousness slowly returned, RP found that he was bound, hand and
f oot.
Looking slowly around he realised that he was still in
the laboratory. He listened, but could hear no voice save
that of the race caller. The afternoon's entertainments had
begun, it seemed. Leaning forward, he was surprised to
learn that he was not tied down. He lumbered to his uncertain feet and hobbled over to a counter. A veterinarian's surgery ought to have a scalpel or two somewhere, he
reasoned. He couldn't find one. With great difficulty he
heaved himself onto a bench and wiggled his way backwards
until his hands, bound behind his back, could grasp a beaker.
3umping off the bunch, he smashed the beaker on the counter and held a shard of glass in his fingers. Slowly, carefully, he sawed through the ropes - he didn't want to cut
his own wrists - he could see the headlines: "Reporter
suicides in famous Sydney stable."
With a gasp of effort he freed himself from the bonds
around his wrists and ankles. Shaking his arms and legs to
get the circulation going, he considered his position: he had
been found trespassing on private property (presumably by
now his captors realised that he was not an invited guest)
and he had been caught spying on what he assumed were
some very unsavoury occurrences.
From a legal point of view he didn't seem to be too
far into the red. But then, from an illegal point of view . . .
Ricardo moved to the steel connecting door. It was
locked . . .
He tried the oak door, which opened easily
and led him to the stables again. Now the horses were
gone - they were out racing. RP guessed that exiting
through the side door might expose him to view from the
house, so he moved quickly past the numerous stalls towards
the other end of the stable.
As he passed one of the stalls he noticed something.
Or rather, he noticed an absence rather than a presence.
While the surrounding stalls contained straw and other indications of their recent occupation by members of an equine
order, this stall contained nothing. Ricardo remembered a
3ames Bond movie he had seen where a horse stall was
actually an elevator, so he searched the wooden panelling
eagerly seeking the concealed button which made the elevator descend. He could find none. Bitterly disappointed and
swearing never to watch another Bond movie, Ricardo
reached into the pocket of his slightly crumpled suit and
withdrew a chocolate.
RP had a small bet with himself: with the luck he'd
been having he felt sure the chocolate would be one of the
gooey kind. He looked at the wrapper"Turkish Delight!" he cried in exasperation.
Suddenly the section of wall contained by the stall
rolled away, like the boulder in front of Ali Baba's cave
when he said "Open Sesame". Struck dumb, Ricardo walked
through into the dimly lit room beyond. As he passed
through, the door rolled shut behind him, leaving RP in
almost total darkness. Quickly he fumbled along the wa-i
for a light switch. When he found it and switched on the
lights, he found himself facing the steel connecting door,
still locked. He was in the room where Sir Reginald and
the mystery man with the money had held their clandestine
conference.
Ricardo turned around to obtain the full view of the
room. While peering through the crack left by the slightly
open door (before his unfortunate encounter with the butt
Page 93.
of someone's handgun), Ricardo had not been able to see
into the centre of the room. Now that he could, he was,
to say the least, thunderstruck.
Stationary on the polished floor was an outsized
guerney, on top of which was a large and extremely dead
horse. The cause of death was not immediately apparent,
but the full length incision down the animal's belly could not
have improved its health.
However, it was the contents of the belly which were
rather astounding, rather than their mere exposure. For
instead of the usual internal organs, this horse appeared to
have been blessed with enough firepower to arm quite a
number of men. Contained within a tough, transparent bag
residing in the body cavity were assault rifles, handguns
and even a small number of grenades.
Mixed emotions swept over Ricardo. He realised on
the one hand that his life was in danger; on the other hand
what a story! He imagined his front-page story: "Prominent
Sydney Socialite runs Guns to Fiji in Famous Racehorse's
Stomach" - by Ricardo Passionfruit. He would be famous Mike Munro would be calling him within a week:
"And I'm . . . Ricardo Passionfruit." Move over, Bob
Bottom, here comes . .
Ricardo snapped out of his reverie - first he had to
escape. But he must leave no indication that he had discovered Sir Reginald's secret, otherwise the evidence would be
destroyed immediately.
If, however, they only found the broken beaker and the
cut ropes, Sir Reginald and his cronies would assume that
he had left without further investigation. He examined the
floor for any evidence of his footsteps - he could find no
stray pieces of straw or any obvious dirt. He switched off
the light and faced the secret door.
"lurkish Delight," he called triumphantly.
Sir Reginald Fortescue- Smyth's personal aeroptane was
divided into two parts - the forward section contained the
usual luxuries desigr-Led for the human occupants of a private
jet; the rear section had been adapted to house lurkish
Delight and the large coffin containing the remains of his
father Montelibar. 1he fact that Montelibar himself contained anything but flesh and blood was known to only a few.
Ricardo had had quite a difficult time attempting to
convince the Customs officials at Mascot that they should
open up the body of one of Sir Reginald Fortescue-Smy the's
loved ones - even if it were only a horse. Sir Reginald was
a very powerful man and made it clar that "heads would
roll" especially considering that the coffin had already been
opened and subjected to official, albeit cursory, inspection.
Eventually a compromise was reached - but the tension
was evident as the interested parties waited for the officials to organise a metal detector to be brought to the
tarmac. The photographers whom Ricardo had brought along
were making snide remarks, Ricardo himself was sweating
'and considering future career options, and Sir Reginald iSir Reginald was nowhere to be seen.
A metal detector of the "prospecting" type was
produced. 1he Customs man looked decidedly disinterested
as he turned it on.
Ricardo was magining his life as the Beirut correspondent for his newspaper. He metal dish hummed softly
as it was passed over the foot of the coffin. Perhaps it
might be Belfast , or an Antarctic base, thought RP. The
Customs man yawned as he moved the detector up towards
the middle of the box.
With an ear-piercing wail the detector announced the
presence of a large amount of metal directly below it.
Ricardo nearly fainted with relief. 1he photographers wound
on their film and warmed up their flashes. The man with
the detector turned it off and strolled away. Hurriedly the
other officials opened the box while the Customs Police
looked around for Sir Reginald.

Suddenly a large and majestic horse bounded out of the
rear of the plane. On the back of I urkish Delight was Sir
Reginald, wielding the crop fiercely as he rode towards an
open hangar. The Customs Police watched incredulously as
Turkish Delight disappeared into a huge hangar marked
"Qantas Engine Testing - Authorised Persons Only".
Cervantes tells us that Rosinante tolerated Quixote's
mad tilting at windmills. Turkish Delight, however, was
more pragmatic than the famous Don's faithful steed and,
when confronted with a rapidly revolving engine turbine,
chose to call a halt to his master's flight. Unfortunately
Sir Reginald was ill-prepared for this sudden deceleration
and was thrown into the menacing blades, thereby ruining
an otherwise successful engine test.
Ignatius Ricardo Passionfruit, feeling that he could now
afford the luxury of all three ofhis given names, reached
into the pocket of his tailored suit for his pack of hand.nade Swiss chocolates, and once again read the first two
pages of the evening paper. There it was, the whole story,
in all its detail, as recounted by none other than himself.
Ricardo reviewed the story's epilogue.
After his disarmament, Montelibar was dutifully sent
to Suva for his interment, which proved to be the grand
occasion that everyone had expected. Turkish Delight did
not run in the Coconut Cup that year as he seemed to be
in shock. Mrs Susan Sycophe-Fortescue-Smythe, widowed
at such an early age, was not implicated in the crime. I he
mysterious man with the Fedora was arrested as he tried to
re-enter Fiji for not declaring the twelve dozen boxes of
Roses (believed to be stolen) which were found in his
luggage.
As to Sir Reginald's motives, agreement was never
reached. There were rumours that he had lost heavily at
the track and needed the money (some large fraction of a
million dollars) to cover his debts. Other sources believed
that Sir Reginald simply couldnot bear to see another colony
separated from the Commonwealth, although the identity
of the proposed recipients of the arms was not publicly
revealed.
Ricardo leaned back, letting his luxurious armchair
enfold him. His expected telephone call from Mike was yet
to occur, but he could wait. He had had opportunity, however, to refuse an offer from his former paper to move to
Page 3. Rising, Ricardo walked around his large desk to
his office door. As it swung inward he admired the gold
lettering: "Ignatius Ricardo Passionfruit". RP chuckled
softly to himself and wondered whether his previous employer would have been so generous, assuming that is, that he
had given the story to them.
"It's so nice tohave you with us," purred Maria as she
appeared. Her eyes were still blue.
"Very nice," he agreed, and offered her a chocolate.

SHORE CROSS-COUNTRY MEETING
Ist X1 SOCCER REPORTS
vs Sydney High School - 18th June 1988
A record number of people attended the Cross-
With the week's rain making Northbridge F once again
a mud pit, the Ist X1 faced High for the first game of the
G.P.S. Competition. I his match saw none of the Shore
dominance prevalent in the first match against High as an
improved High team proved to be Shore's equal in the opening period of play. Provided with a number of direct penalties, Moss peppered the High goal, but was narrowly
unsuccessful. A perfectly headed goal by Graham was disallowed after the referee spotted an infringement, and
Shore had to keep searching for the elusive first goal. Once
again it was Brownlee who was brought down in the box in
the 30th minute, this time by the beaten High keeper, and
Moss put away the penalty and Shore led 1-0 at the break.
Just 8 minutes into the second half, Shore furthered
its lead when a shot from Graham skidded towards goal, and
Brownlee appeared from nowhere to put it past the High
keeper who was left standing. Despite the 2-0 lead what
followed was a period of about 15 minutes in which Shore's
play fell totally apart, with the only bright spot being
High's inability to score. In the 58th minute, however,
keeper Jones was caught taking too many steps with the
ball and, despite the fact that the majority of the team was
crowded into the goal mouth, the High indirect kick
managed to somehow find its way into the back of the net.
What was required was a boost to the Shore morale and this
was provided by Graham who, after stealing the ball from
the goalie and despite being followed by the High keeper,
was able to turn and put the ball into the back of the net
while just trying to cross it.
1he two goal lead was to prove an ample buffer
against a desperate High attack, and Shore finished the game
with a 3-1 victory and a valuable win to start the
competition.
vs Southport College - 21st June 1988
1 he Maroons were not the only team south of the
border on I uesday evening: the Shore team faced an extremely strong and talented Southport XI which the previous day
had beaten Barker. I he groundsmen had once again done a
great job with the pitch and both teams took advantage of
this to launch a number of forays into the others half.
Shore had the run of play and went into half time leading
1-0 after Brownlee had followed a ball through and slotted
it into the back of the net.
All Shore had to do in the second half was prevent
Southport from scoring, but this was not easy with the wind
roaring in from the Southport end and the sunset providing
a great deal of trouble for the Shore defence. len minutes
into the half Southport capitalised on t his to score the
equaliser and force Shore togo on the attack. Ihe remaining
20 minutes saw Southport being beaten 3 times, but being
luckily let out of jail as they somehow survived a number
of close calls from Menzies, Pearce and Moss. 1he resulting I I draw was perhaps a lucky result for Southport, but
a moral victory to Shore.

Country Meeting at Macquarie University last weekend,
hosted by Shore. On average 118 people competed in each
of the three races: U14, U16 and Open. I he number in the
U14 event was staggering, 156 people. 1his was the most
number of people ever at a G.P.S. Cross-Country meeting.
In the difficult and, for the spectators, entertaining 2 krn loop, a number of individual performances are
worthy of mention. In the U14s, Sean Cribb, in his first
run after prolonged sickness, finished in 3rd place, 153
people behind ~ irn. Nic Johnston performed well, finishing a
close 5th, 12 seconds behind Sean. In the U16s, Holt Hardy
improved his placing from Kings, moving up to 16th. Stu
Dalgliesh finished 12th.
1 he Open even proved to be a very long and tiring 6.2
kms. Chris Johnston proved exams didn't disrupt his training in the week up to the meeting. Chris finished 6th in a
field of 105, his highest placing, made more worthy remembering he is young enough to run in the U16 event. Antony
Burnett had a slight return to form, finishing 8th.
Newington dominated the teams results, winning the
Open event by 55 seconds to Shore; 2nd in the U16, 18 secs
ahead of Shore; and winning the U 14's by a mere I I seconds
again to Shore. In each race, the Shore team was not at
full strength.
A very entertaining spectacle on the course was a very
wide, very deep and very slippery creek crossing. 1he
U14's, first to try it out, proved a real sight. Most of the
competitors, including a few Shore runners, disappeared up
to their necks as they attempted to cross the obstacle,
much to the delight of the 50-strong crowd of spectators.
I he U 16's weren't as game and most took the easy way out;
a narrower crossing about 10 metres further downstream.
In the Opens, with three crossings to be negotiated, the
leading pack took the easier route, except for the Shore
competitors. Chris, lim and Antony, and those behind, all
successfully leaped their way across, picking up 5 places at
a time, much to the applause of the mud hungry crowd.
Ihis meeting saw the continued success of a morning
tea stall, run by the mothers, as well as the inception of a
drinks station for finishers. Hopefully both these ideas will
be taken up by other schools in the weeks to come.
Ihis was one of, if not the most, successful CrossCountry events thus far. Many thanks must go to the
volunteers who helped and also the support of spectators,
including a number of the sixth-formers who put themselves
out to attend.

RUGBY REPORTS
Ist XV vs Barker College - Ilth June 1988
There were some impressive efforts against Barker.
The 14As, undefeated thus far, produced their first ever
victory against Barker, and both the 2nd and Ist XVs had
impressive victories. The 2nds won 23-6 with tries to Lyne
and Cowdroy, and some masterful kicking by Bill Edwards.
The lst XV ran on against a confident Barker side,
aiming to establish a sound combination before the first
competition match against Sydney High School. Steve Kiss
moved into the pivot role at five-eighth, O'Donnell
returned from injury to take up his customary role as inside
centre, and lim Lyle moved onto the wing.
Shore was first to post points after some neat stepping
and a timely pass by Cobcroft saw Lyle scoot into the
corner for the first of his two tries. In his effort to send
Lyle across the line Cobcroft had succumbed to a heavy
knock to the head and was replaced by Marty McDonald
mid-way through the first half. Not long afterwards Barker
responded with a well executed switch move which saw
them score under the posts. Late in the half Kiss kicked a
penalty goal; the half-time score 7-6.
The match was evenly poised, however the second half
saw Shore eradicate silly errors of the first half and consolidate to play much more positive Rugby in the second
term. The highlight was certainly lim Lyle's second try.
A cut out pass by Kiss saw McCathie pick up a good pass
and evade the opposition. Lyle was in good support and
pumping the pistons, he scored in the corner. Lyle's finish
ing off in this game was to be noted and he certainly
earned the number eleven jersey for the encounter with
High. He chased kicks well, got involved where he could
and timed his running to perfection - his speed need not be
questioned. McCathie also showed himself to be a fine
example to all full-backs, hitting the line with pace and
showing good hands.
I he score of 11-6 was added to by a Kiss penalty
goal and a field goal by Tom Brown; the final score 17-6.
Shore had had a good win. A score of 17-6 is certainly
a beating in any first grade game and should be a positive
basis for the team against High at McKay Oval.
vs Sydney High School - 18th June 1988
Overall Shore had the better of Sydney High School
last Saturday. I he 13A, 14A and 16A teams all had good
,ictories. The 2nd and 3rd XVs had to work hard for their
wins, but it was good ball contact that eventually saw
them home.
The Ist XV ran out for their first competition game
of the season, however left their Rugby minds and aggression in the change room and the lack of these aspects
resulted in a lack-lustre performance on the day.
If anything did come out of the game it involved
several lessons - it was unfortunate that these had to be
learnt in the first competition match.
The importance of the last 15 minutes has been
stressed and it has been said that it is in this time where
many games are won or lost. Indeed this is true, as has
been witnessed in past weeks. However from last Saturday's performance the omen of the first 15 minutes reared
its ugly head (as did that of the High fullback) from Shore's
point of view. It is in the first 15 minutes where a team
tries to establish its dominance over the other; and
Shore's fault on the weekend was that it allowed High to
dictate terms from the beginning and consequently played
in their style and to their standard.
Communication is essential in order to play winning
Rugby. This factor was astray among the Shore team also.
Without communication a team cannot operate with purpose
and/or confidence.
As well as other things the Shore team failed to
think clearly as panic set in. Such a loss of control resulted
,
in poor options and silly mistakes compounding in a loss 3-0.
To give credit where it is due, however, High's loose
forwards were quick to the loose ball and also spoiled the
Shore second phase, denying the Shore backs opportunities.
Despite Urquhart's inspired runs, not unlike those
of a bull after branding, the team was unable to post the
try that would win it the game.
The loss was certainly felt by the players and the
weekend as a result was not very enjoyable. Despite being
down, the team had a solid training session on Monday.
In an effort to play Rugby the winning way, the team faced
some changes for the long-awaited encounter with 3oeys.
Brown moves to five-eighth, Kerr to outside-centre,
Cobcroft returns from the "head bin" and McDonald earns
and retains his school badge.
It is encouraging to see so much support for this
match; it means more than chocolates to the players.
