DEBATING
1st III v. Abbotsleigh
On Friday, April 29 the Shore debating team of Jenkins,
Wild and Angyal affirmed the topic "That equality means
the end of individuality" against a team from Abbotsleigh.
By using the usual definition of the words "equality" and
"individuality" the Shore team found that the topic itself provided a truism. This meant that it was difficult to find examples to prove the case, even though the argument itself
was a strong one.
As a result, Jenkins was not confident of his case and
tended to he a little nervous. However, he gained the highest
mark of the evening. Wild, speaking for the first time in the
firsts, also found it difficult to give examples and was sidetracked. Angyal, also making his debut in the school team,
showed that he has the manner to be a good third speaker.
Dismissing the oppositions arguments in a 'Menzies' manner,
he summed up and rounded off the government's arguments,
showing a basic unity throughout the team. Shore scored a
well earned victory by an unusually large margin.
The second and third teams both lost to Abbotsleigh.
Previously, on Friday, April 15, a IVth Form team of
Clifford, Goodsell and Makai debated against a team from
Marist Brothers, North Sydney, as part of a series of debates
organised by the Road Safety Council of New South Wales.
Shore won the toss and decided to affirm the proposition
"That driver training and road safety behaviour should be
included in school curricula."
Both sides were slow to come to grips with the topic,
Marist Brothers basing their argument on the idea that too
much valuable school time would be lost with extra activities;
while the Shore team asserted that it is at this age that a
pupil is most receptive and ready to absorb knowledge which
would become a necessity in later life.
Having won by a small margin, the Shore team now goes
on to meet North Sydney Boys' High on Wednesday, May
11 in the second round of debates. If the team eventually
wins the contest the school will receive $20 for books.

A TRAGIC WEAKNESS
There are two angles from which society can judge
a person's worth. The first is the easy way, by material
and outward things—for instance by what he wears,
from what suburb he comes, how he speaks, from
what country he comes, with whom he associates and
from what school he comes. All these aspects are
outward and visible.
The second way is judging a person's worth by
abstracts—for example: honesty, determination, sincerity, thought and general soundness. This is not the
easy way because it takes time, effort and intelligence,
while the first method is easy, fast and has become
acceptable to society.
As this method has become acceptable people have
fallen into adding cheap material aspects to their
makeup. Take, for example, smoking; this is one of
the outward aspects some people have adopted to
impress those who judge by outward criteria. The
main reason that a person starts to smoke is to give
the impression that he has grown up, and he then
becomes acceptable to those in his social group who
place pressures on him to "grow up". Surely this is
the main reason, as he only smokes in front of his
social contemporaries.
The excuse given by the teenager, that he is nervous
and bored, and takes up smoking because of this, is
untrue, as he generally stops smoking and can control
his "nerves" when he is at home.
After beginning to smoke, he becomes addicted to
it, he becomes irritated and bored when he cannot
smoke. Smoking becomes a sickness of the mind.
Perhaps he may lose part of his life by contracting
that incurable sickness, lung cancer. Apart from this,
he loses a fair amount of money that could be put
to a better use. Not only does he lose these material
things but also he loses part of his individual right to
think and act according to his own conscience; he
is acting under someone else's direction and is well
on the way to losing all his individuality.
Looking through history, one finds that it is the
individual who has changed and influenced this world.
What can this society look forward to in the future,
when the future leaders of the community are lacking
in individual thought and motives.

Fifty fat clouds,
Their pink bottoms squeal across the sky:
Pig skin stretching wide and tight,
Like jolly babies playing with a rubber ball;
Not naked, but black, shielded
As if by ornate whippings of mashed potato,
Burnt in the bottom of a saucepan.
Sizzling below, the grey metallic smoke,
Hazily scrapes the redness from the sun:
The rustic sky oozes
Its unsettled black-currant jelly
Into the dish of melting towers.
Dull squares of buildings
Urge to pin-prick the narrowing yellow ribbon above
them;
Ouch! Red blood turns orange
Spilled on satin sky.
Towers turn speckled white from within;
Tall ones are stained red for the night.
The wallowing mounds of grey
Swoop to the water-wanting bay,
Then timid flee, rejected by their callous companions.
Phoebus' race is all but done;
Rapidly the course is won.
Fatigued the horses droop.
The humming of Diana's song,
In reflected light, grows strong.
She halts but once,
And slaps the rude sun's face,
Which, an embarrassed child,
Turns his red lips in,
And weeps his silver tears
For black hours long.

GENERAL STUDIES: QANTAS FILMS
On Friday, April 29 the boys of the Lower Sixth
saw an exhibition of Qantas Films on Australian art.
The first, entitled "Pattern of life" showed aboriginal
life, ceremonies and rites, but the main point of the
film was to show aboriginal art, and the way in which
the methods of painting are being changed to fit the
demands of the art of the outside world.
The second film was on the art of Sidney Nolan,
a contemporary Australian artist. It showed that he
has painted a series of paintings based on themeslegends such as Ned Kelly. His children's insight
brings out many unusual details in his paintings.
The last film, also on aboriginal art, showed some
paintings of rock carvings, and explained the legends
behind them. The background music added much to
the impression of the films.
REFLECTIONS
1. Owing to the keen observations of the members
of the astronomy society, the authorities have been
advised by the school witch doctor to move the
school concert, and all firmly founded traditions
associated with it, to a more propitious occasion.
Thought for the week: why are the recommended
list books Not to be taken away? Can you imagine
reading "War and Peace" in the lunch hour in competition with ten other potential readers?

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
SHOOTING
Last Saturday, 26 boys shot at Hornsby Rifle
Range the practice being 2 sighters and 7 shots at
300 yards.
The conditions were quite good and a strong crosswind was the only factor which made shooting difficult.
One noticeable fact was the good performances of
those shooters who went to shooting camp last year
and the scores were very pleasing for a shoot so early
in the season.
The top scores were: Townsend, R. W. 34-31;
Morris, A. G. H. 3 1-33; Campbell, R. 32; Woodforth
31; Kelly, Burton-Taylor 30; Allerion 30.
UNARMED DEFENCE
"UNARMED DEFENCE" will be taught as an
"extra" subject beginning the 2nd week of Term II,
1966.
Classes will be held on Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons at 3.30 p.m.; the period is 30-40 minutes
long. No special clothing is required—football togs
are quite suitable.
The course concentrates upon the art of self-defence
with special emphasis on Judo and Ju-Jitsu.
Applications in writing should be made to the
Bursar's office as soon as possible, and in the application the day of preference should be given.
The cost is $6 per boy per term. If any boy has
queries please see the Sportsmaster.

QANTAS VISIT
During the last two Friday mornings 2a and 2b of
the Preparatory School, were fortunate enough to visit
Kingsford Smith Airport, Mascot, under the expert
supervision of a Qantas official.
They made a detailed inspection of the machine
workshops and servicing hangars, and for a few
moments savoured the luxury of first class travel when
they were encouraged to take a seat in one of the
stationary Boeing 707 jets.
The Prep. would like to express its thanks to Qantas
for the opportunity of seeing just how a modern
airport functions.
1st XV v. CRANBROOK
On Saturday last, Shore decisively defeated Cranbrook at
Hordern Oval. Shore was continually pressing the Cranbrook line, with several penalties saving Cranbrook until they
won a ruck on the 25-yard line and their right wing broke
through on the blind-side to score a runaway try in the
corner. This was the first score of the match but it was
the only score for Cranbrook, being unconverted. Shore
retaliated by pressing deep in the Cranbrook half and after
a fine backline movement, Roberts cut into the centre of
play and broke through the Cranbrook forwards and across
the field. He passed to Hardy and then to Hughes who ran
25-yards to pass to Maltby who scored in the corner. This
was unconverted and the score was 3-3. It was not long
until Shore won a lineout and Lee made a break and passed
to Roberts who beat 3 Cranbrook players to the line to make
the score 6-3, the try being unconverted. Play remained in
the Cranbrook half until just before half time.
Cranbrook seemed to be more aggressive in the second
half threatening the Shore line on several occasions but their
attempts were usually foiled because of bad handling. However, soon Maltby was passed the ball from a nick and he
passed to Green who scored near the touch line to bring
the score to 9-3. This was converted by Chapman; 11-3.
Almost immediately after this, Lyttle broke from behind a
ruck and ran 25 yards without opposition to score an unconverted try; 14-3. Shortly before full-time Lyttle scored his
second try which was also unconverted. The full-time score
was 17-3.

Shore has notably improved their defence and the backing up was a feature of the Shore play. Cranbrook lost
because of poor defence and poor handling.

TEN POINTS FOR SPECTATORS
With a term of football beginning we reprint the
following points for the guidance of spectators:
I. Wear your school uniform-not casual gear.
At Northbridge do not sit in the small stand which
by custom is reserved for adults.
You attend a match to applaud good play, ours
or theirs.
It is ,iever right to express disapproval of a
referee's decision.
Keep well clear of the sidelines.
Never address a player on the field or shout
noisily from the sideline.
Don't kick footballs about near the spectators.
This applies especially at the school ground and on
B, C and D grounds at Northbridge.
S. Don't go on the field at half-time.
The visiting teams are our guests. Help them to
find their way about and show them every courtesy.
Don't applaud when the opposition misses a vital
penalty kick, or groan when Shore also misses.

DEBATING
On Friday, May 6, Shore debated against an Old
Boys team and three teams from Wenona. The first
team of Jenkins, Selby and Makai debated against
Marr, P. Jenkins and Nield. The school team affirmed
"That sin is a figment of the imagination".
Jenkins opened with an assertion that all religion
was a hoax, invented by Noah, who was in fact the
greatest idiot of all time. He had invented religion
to cover up his folly in building a ship miles from the
sea, and convinced all people of their sin to perpetuate
his religious fanaticism. Hence sin is a figment of
the imagination.
The opposition refuted this by citing examples of
"real" sin, and also using evidence from the Bible.
Selby and Makai continued the government's case with
a reasonable balance between flippancy and logic.
The Old Boys, especially Marr, provided some argumerit and plenty of entertainment for the audience.
The result was, of course, a draw.
On the same evening another team of Wild, Churches
and Joseph debating against Wenona denied that "A
dream is stronger than a strong man armed". Wild,
in an attempt to clarify definition caused a rift in the
argument of the following speakers. Churches and
Joseph somehow failed to grasp the subtleties of the
definition. Churches spoke well, in fact the best of
the team, but was not on the lines of Wild's speech.
Joseph rounded off the case, continuing Churches' line.
Shore won by a narrow margin.
The Shore third team of Pickering, Koppstein and
Dowdy lost to Wenona's seconds; while the fourths:
Booth, Garland and Ireland, an untried team, beat
Wenona's thirds.
On the evening of Wednesday. 11 May, the team
debating in the Road Safety Council Knockout competition was unfortunate to lose to North Sydney Boys'
High.
SHOOTING
20 Boys shot at Hornsby!
The last shoot in first term at Hornsby was favoured with excellent conditions, there being no wind
until the end of the shoot when a slight cross wind
blew up. The light was ideal and the combination of
these two factors allowed some good scores.
Shooting began on time and with increased efficiency
more shoots should be possible in the time allowed: as
it was everyone shot twice.
The improvement of some of the new shooters was
pleasing and at present there seems to be great depth
of ability in this sport.
Top scorers were:— Cohen 32-34, Millyard 31-33,
Byrne 32, Woodforth 32, Campbell 32.

IARINE BAND
Fowards the end of last term, on Tuesday, May 10,
the school was visited by an American Brass Marine
Band which is based in Hawaii. This band was on
a goodwill visit to South-East Asia, and while in
Australia, was taking part in the Coral Sea celebrations.
Friday, June 3, 1966
SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
Decked out in brass-buttoned red jackets, navy
blue trousers, white gloves and peaked caps, the
twenty-one men of the band formed a sharp contrast
to the grass of the School Oval. Marching onto the
ground in single file, the unit assembled in the centre
of a large audience of boys and masters. On a
command from the drum-major the band began its
routine of precision marching and playing. Each
individual wove a complicated network of turns and
wheels and as a collective group they gave a most
spectacular performance.
The music they played came from various musical
comedies, as well as well known songs such as "Waltzing Matilda". The performance lasted twenty minutes,
and judging from the comments made afterwards, the
majority of boys was most impressed by the uniforms
if not by the playing and marching. Some more
humorous remarks overheard were: "Oh sir, their hair
is shorter than yours", and "what about this before a
football match?"
ODE TO HYPOCRISY
Is this the face that launched a thousand knocks,
And burned the topless towers of superiority?
Is this the force we knew, the force we loved
Now ashened by the rank and notoriety?
Is this the newer they, the bold, elite,
Who now appear as something counterfeit?
Or is this but a hollow visage of the truth,
A disposition donned as a mere spoof?
Disillusioned, VA!
LORETO CONVENT CHOIR
In the second last week of term a troupe of ninety
girls from Loreto came to sing the music of Mozart
to a rather exiguous audience of Shore boys. For
such a large choir the girls did not make a great deal
of sound, though the sounds they did make were
pleasant enough. A piano-solo towards the end of
the concert was played with much skill by one of the
girls, who showed herself proficient to quite a professional degree.
The concert ended with the School Song, "Queen
of Loreto", and the girls were thanked by the Senior
Prefect and Mr. Winstanley.
SPECIAL SERVICE
On Sunday, May 15th, a combined choir from St.
Joseph's and Shore sang for the interdenominational
service of The Australian College of Education Conference being held in Sydney. The service took place
in the Memorial Hall and was televised throughout
the State and in Victoria. This was the first time
that the College has had an interdenominational service
in its seven years of existence.
REFLECTIONS
Runiour has it that Prince Lackwitt, heir apparent
to the Upper Voltese throne, will attend Shore for a
term. Prince Lackwitt formerly attended Upper Volta
Central High School, but suffered from lack of competi
tion in polo. Prince Nitwitt, of course, will be treated
as an ordinary schoolboy, citizen and prefect and will
57
be afforded no special privileges except Hodges House.
It is not at present known which form His Royal
Highness will enter, but rumour also has it that his
official duties will leave little time for studies. His
main interests will be polo, and the Grouse Valley
Mountain Hut, where his knowledge of Royal Plumbing will doubtless be invaluable.
Prince Halfwitt is a charming lad of twenty-five (or
so) and is reported to have some deep romantic
involvements back in his mother country, namely a
Miss Doolittle (35) who says he is "a nice boy, but
very shy".
Prince Dimwitt is intensely interested in public
speaking, as, he says he would like to reverse the
present tendency to read speeches. He is quoted as
saying "I don't like reading my speeches in public,
because . . . er . . . because . . . There seems to be
a page missing".
A private home "Elizabeth Farm House' has been
purchased as his residence for weekends.
On arrival he will be met by the Headmaster, Mrs.
Travers and the Senior Prefect who will hand over
his duties to the Prince for the term. A twenty-one
rifle salute by the cadets, a fly-past of carrier-pigeons
sponsored by the ATC (Boaters must be worn) and a
surf carnival in the afternoon performed by the Shore
life-savers should add colour to the proceedings. We
ask you to be cordial to the prince during his stay and
consider yourselves as ambassadors for your glorious
state and school.
Prince Lackwitt is directly descended from Lady
Godiva, Eggbert 11, Marie Antoinette and Joma Kenyatta. This interesting lineage may perhaps account
for the Prince's little publicised habits of drinking
cherry vodka, eating bananas and swearing in Sanskrit.
Beware!
The men with the slop-buckets and mops are on
the move. On the last day of 1st Term a sturdy body
of devoted VA2 citizens marched with all the equipment necessary for their art to their form room, whose
walls, a charming pink and pale blue with a darker
blue border and fittings, they scrubbed with brush,
cloth and copious draughts of water till they seemed
almost clean. It would be untruthful to say that the
noble men who contributed their valuable holiday time
to such a manly feat did so with any ill feeling; their
humour, far from being dry was dampened with great
gusto.
HOOPLA - HELPERS
Owing to the holiday on June 13th, the meeting
and luncheon will now be held on Monday, 20th June,
at 11 am., at 52 Woolwich Road, Hunters Hill.

CENTENARY PARADE
AUSTRALIAN CADET CORPS
On Tuesday, 7th June, his excellency Sir Roden
Cutler, V.C., K.C.M.G., C.B.E., Governor of New
South Wales, reviewed a centenary parade of the
Australian Cadet Corps on the Doyle Memorial
Gorund, The King's School, Parramatta. The occasion also marked the centenary of the King's School
Cadet Corps. From a small corps of 60 to 70 recruits, the Australian Cadet Corps has grown to
Special contingents
45,000 throughout Australia.
from most of the secondary schools in Sydney took
part in the parade.
Shooting was again favoured with good conditions,
the light being excellent and without variation throughout the morning. The chilly weather and an 8-12
m.p.h. cross wind were the only factors which caused
trouble.
We are grateful for the assistance of Phillip Moors,
a member of the First Team last year, in coaching
some of the more inexperienced shooters.
The range again was 300 yards, and the practice
shoot was of two sighters and seven shots, making a
possible of 35. As yet there have been no possibles
scored this year, but there have been two 34's and
a few 33's, so the standard is quite high.
The top scores this week were: A. G. H. Morris,
33; R. B. C. Cohen, 31-32; J. G. M. Marsh, 32;
I. A. Byrne, 3 1-30; L. D. Bathgate, 31; T. W. Walton,
31.

and Mrs. Travers. Any disrespect to the Headmaster
and his wife was entirely unintentional and we apologise for it.
In any case the theme of the article was levelled
not at the "visiting celebrity" but at the people who
obsequiously bow and scrape before him, and those
who report his every move in type of the size usually
reserved for international catastrophes—Editor.
DEBATING
THE SCHOOL CONCERT
A date has been set for this year's concert. It will
be held on Friday, 8th July, at 8 p.m.
Supper will be provided but bookings are not necessary as tickets will be sold on the night at the entrance
to the hail.
ITEMS:
Any boy or group of boys who wish to perform at
the concert are to hand in the name of the item,
those concerned and any additional information to
Mr. Winstanley or any member of the Music Society
Committee, namely Kinsman, Jenkins, McCarty or
Wild before Monday. Those who have already said
that they will perform are asked to submit this information also.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir:
Your inclusion in the Record (June 3rd) of the
article "Reflections" must have disappointed many
of your readers both within and beyond the School.
Just what was the purpose of this piece of writing,
exhibiting such poor taste? If the writer imagined
that he was being funny, he certainly misjudged seriously the taste of your subscribers.
Freedom of expression has always been encouraged
within the School, but young writers must learn that
freedom and discipline go hand in hand.
This "Reflections" - a piece of "idiot facetiousness" (to quote a former Master) achieved little. It
was disrespectful to a visiting celebrity and to the
Headmaster and Mrs. Travers.
Can you claim that its writer was not guilty of
using his liberty for a cloak of maliciousness?
Yours truly, L. M. Jamieson
(Master of the Preparatory School)
With all due respect to the Master of the Preparatory School, it is hard to believe that he can estimate
school opinion so efficiently as to be able to claim
so confidently that we misjudged the taste of our
subscribers.
The purpose of the article was to amuse; therefore criticism that it "achieved little" only makes
sense if, in fact, the article failed to amuse. This
may have been so, in that case, the article failed in
its purpose, but this is not to say it was necessarily
in poor taste. The substance of this claim is that it
was disrespectful to the "visiting celebrity" and to Mr.
Last Friday night three Shore teams debated
against St. Ignatius at Shore.
The first team of Jenkins, Selby and Angyal
affirmed the topic "that in time of peace Government censorship is unnecessary."
Jenkins opened fluently but nervously, contrasting
peace and war, and showing that what was necessary
in war was not in peacetime. He used the analogy
of guns, which are very useful, but in the hands of
some are very dangerous. Pornographic literature and
films were like this, he said. Selby continued the
argument, showing that only a tiny minority of the
population was affected by such material. He spoke
confidently but moved about too much. Angyal
followed, warning the audience of the dangers of
portraits of the Queen in the hands of maniacs. This
humourous note was well received; the debate as a
whole was deadly serious. S.I.C., a more polished
team, won narrowly.
The second team, denying the same topic defeated
Ignatius. Wild, the first speaker showed signs of
nervousness in his first speech but was much more
fluent in his reply, the first he has made. Joseph
gaining the highest mark of the evening and in his
usual brusque style, spiced with starkly amusing comment proved a powerful force for the opposition.
Makai, though not as sardonic as usual, showed that
he is potentially one of the finest speakers in the
school.
The third team, Churches, Booth and Ireland won
fairly easily, affirming "That there is too much talk".
The team were more coherent and more humourous
than their opponents, their team-work doubtless being
one of the main reasons for their success.
IS IT PENITENCE, FATE OR TRADITION?
(NONE, I HOPE)
Make your bed, dear, tidy up the room,
When you've finished that, dear, put away the broom,
Wipe down the benches, dear, before you set the table,
Then there's some washing up if you're able.
Don't touch the lamingtons! Clean the silver bowls,
Don't touch the lamingtons!! You know they give you
moles.
Water the garden, dear, then roll up the hose,
Mow the lawn short, dear, you know how it grows,
Cut back the hedge, dear, sweep up the leaves,
Then pull down the hornets' nest under the eaves,
Remake your bed, dear, then feed the cat.
Then under the couch, dear, the cat's killed a rat,
Now go and relax, dear, I'll bring you a drink,
A son's worth at least that, don't you think?

CROSSWORD
NOTES FROM ABROAD
Provided by P. Kendall-LVIA
Mr. Wilson, on leave from the School, is at present
supply relief teaching in the Ealing District of West
London. He writes:
"Ten days ago I returned from an interesting and
fascinating trip to Russia, travelling via East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia, and returning
through Scandinavia. The highlight of the whole trip
was undoubtedly our brief 3 days in Moscow. We
were there during the May Day celebrations, and the
parade, lasting over 31 hours, was a magnificent spectacle. Moscow itself is a fascinating city and it was
wonderful to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the Cathedrals now preserved as museums, the Metro railway,
and a superb performance of the modern Russian
ballet "Don Quixote" at the Bolshoi Theatre. Other
highlights of the trip included a wild night at a Bavarian beer hall in Hamburg and a Sauna bath in Helsinki."
In July, Mr. Wilson will be leaving for Italy where
he is enrolled for a 3 month course at Perugia University.

1st XV V. S.P.C.
On Saturday Shore had a decisive 45-6 victory
over St. Patrick's College in the last trial match before
the competition. Shore's 9 tries to St. Patrick's 1
was indicative of the superiority of Shore. The Shore
forwards won most of the serums and lineouts and
the backline worked smoothly.
After 2 minutes of play St. Patrick's were successful
in an attempt at a penalty goal from inside the Shore
25. However, Shore immediately took play into St.
Patrick's 25 where after some fine backline play
Richards, coming in from fullback, scored a try which
he also converted, 5-3. Richards then increased the
score to 8-3 with a penalty goal from outside St.
Patrick's 25. A forward movement put Old over for
a try then the backline went into action and Roberts
scored under the posts. This was converted; 16-3.
Roberts went in again when he caught a 25 drop-out
kick and went straight through St. Patrick's defence
to score in the corner. Unconverted; 19-3. St. Patrick's gave away a penalty quite close to their line
which Richards was successful in kicking; 22-3. The
half-time score was 27-3 when after some loose play
Maltby picked up the ball and scored a try which
was converted.
Before 5 minutes of the second half had elapsed,
Corbett scored, having picked up a loose ball near the
line;30-3. Then St. Patrick's scored their only try,
resulting from a forward rush;30-6. A penalty soon
afterwards took the score to 33-6. Shore won a ruck

and Lyttle whipped a pass to the speedy new winger
Beverley, on the blind side, who ran five yards then
dived over to score an unconverted try in the corner;
36-6. A classic backline movement then put Beverley
over again in the corner. Soon Shore was on St.
Patrick's line again and Hardy taking a penalty tap
kick, ran five yards to score unopposed; 42-6. Richards then made his score for the match 21 points
with a penalty from in front of the posts. Full-time
score 45-6; a well-earned victory.

SCHOOL PLAYS
The two plays selected for production this year are
the Russian comedy "The Government Inspector" by
Gogul, and the Australian drama "Ned Kelly" by
Douglas Stewart. Casting has been completed, rehearsals are under way, and it is hoped to present same
in the first weeks of Term III.
HISTORY CONFERENCE
From 16th to 20th May the second Residential Conference in History was conducted at Abbotsleigh
School. Five lectures were given each day. The topics
of the lectures varied from current affairs, such as
"Nationalism in Indonesia" to "Women in the Ancient
World". Not all lectures were purely history; there
was also "The Story of Two Operas" and "The People
in lndia". One of the most interesting lectures was
by Professor Crowley on "What ought to be in History",
in which he pointed out how other faculties at the
University are taking portions of history leaving his
faculty very little with which to concern itself. For
example, Oriental Studies takes in the study of Asian
countries and language faculties take in the history of
the countries concerned.
Another interesting lecture was given by Professor
Cranfield on "The Industrial Revolution-good or
bad". He posed the question whether or not the
technical and economic gains outweighed the social
losses. The losses, he said, were usually greatly
exaggerated. The two schools of thought were the
sentimentalist school shocked by the evils of industrialisation and, on the other hand, the realist school taking a long-term view of the economic progress.
Altogether there were seventeen lectures and at the
end of each lecture a certain amount of discussion
took place on the topic. One of the highlights of
discussion was a forum on nationalisim.
Apart from the lectures there was a social life with
the common interest being the study of history. There
were many girls and boys from different parts of
Australia and their many different opinions stimulated
discussion. It is a pity that only two boys from Shore
attended this worthwhile and enjoyable conference.
M.J.J. LVIB.
GENERAL PAPER ADDRESS
On Friday, June 10, the general paper groups were
addressed by Mr. R. A. Woolcott of the Department
of External Affairs. He pointed out that one must
have a feeling for service and achievement and a
desire for travel. A university degree in Arts, Law or
Economics is essential and a facility with other languages.
The main core of the address was Australia's position in the world and its foreign policy. Foreign
policy is of two kinds, military and economic. As
a middle power, with a population of some eleven
million in a continent the size of the U.S.A. defence is
a problem and it is perforce that we rely on other
more powerful nations such as the U.S.A. The complex of military alliances accordingly safeguards our
nation.
Our foreign economic policy is mainly concerned
with foreign aid, more especially to our South-East
Asian neighbours.
Australia's foreign aid is given as a direct grant,
free of political ties and as such is very much appreciated by the nations receiving it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sir:
It was good of you to apologise to the Headmaster
and to Mrs. Travers. What about going the second
mile and showing some measure of contrition towards
the subject of your "Reflections"? Your contention,
that it was not really to this person's address, but was
directed to the columnists and feature writers, does
not commend itself readily - not even to a sympathetic reader. If it was all supposed to be an ingeniously contrived piece of satire, you must admit that for
those unable to discern this dark intent, it represented
a smear on a boy of about your own age. He is a
guest in our country, and his position is such that if
he were aware of your article's existence he would not
be able to reply to it.
The pity of it all is that you have been granted the
privilege of editing a School paper of which we are
rather proud and do not seem to realise what you
have done.
Your scruffy little effort with its overtones of one
of the less reputable T.V. shows was not good enough
for you; it was not good enough for your paper. It
just was not good enough for "Shore".

As mentioned briefly in last week's Record a parade
was held to celebrate the centenary of the Australian
Cadet Corps. As not mentioned, a detachment from
Shore attended and took part.
After rigorous selection and sifting and ruthless rejection of all but the most senior and, therefore, skilled
and appropriately demeanoured personnel, thirtyeight volunteers were conscripted. At first the purpose
of the detachment was kept secret, with only occasional
rumours of the "Australian Cadet Centenary" leaking
out. This confused most of those involved who were
under the impression that an Australian Cadet Corps
could not have been founded before Australia, which
is not yet 100 years old.
Practice soon commenced, weeks before the great
day, to achieve the required perfection in arms, foot
and niouth drill. After this preliminary acquisition
of individual skills, a full scale rehearsal is necessary
to interlock the efforts of all those participating. It
is part of the well founded military principle, that before any ceremonial parade those involved must enact
the whole ceremony at least once at the exact place
and time of the real thing.
On the day of the practice the body of 3000 cadets
provided an impressive sight, green with jungle and
blue with cold. For the Shore contingent in particular
the most impressive detail was the rate at which the
band played, and therefore everybody marched. Some
of the massed bands actually raised the rating to the
statutory 120 paces a minute, and the average never
fell below 110! This extremely fast movement tangled
the feet of the Shore detachment, and accounted for
their great exhaustion at the end of the day.
On Tuesday, 7th June the same procedure was
followed exactly, only the uniform and the grace with
which people fainted being different. After being
marched on at 1245 hours to be ready for the Governor
at 1330; the troops stood silently and motionless in
the sun, being carried off at a most satisfactory rate.
When the celebrities arrived all took the opportunity
of presenting arms with vigour, to provide sufficient
circulation to last out the inspection, which was performed by the State Governor from the back of. a
sawn-off jeep, specially souped down to travel along
the ranks at a suitably low speed.
Thereafter followed the march past, with detachments from over fifty schools marching past the dias
in quick time by detachments in line. The microphone
commentator then came into his own giving a quick
run-down on the social details of each school as its
detachment marched past. Having recovered (their
position) the troops sat down and listened attentively
to addresses by the Honorary Colonel of the Australian Cadet Corps and His Excellency the Governor
of N.S.W. The parade then came to attention, an
operation which involved an "automatic dressing"
both in the military and civil sense.
The high point of the afternoon then followed with
the King's contingent firing a Feu de Joie. For the
benefit of those concerned with bonfire legislation it
is to be explained that this exercise is performed by
raising the rifle to the shoulder and firing blank
rounds. The firing is organised to provide a ripple of

fire running along the lines, and is disorganised when
the occasional rifle goes off when not quite intended.
Between the bursts of fire bands played the National
Anthem, three factions playing at normal, fast and
very fast tempos. The comic relief being over the
parade advanced in review order and retreated to its
vehicular transport.
REFLECTIONS
OBITUARY
We regret to announce the death of the heir apparent to the Upper Voltese Throne, which occurred
in a violent coup d'etat. The sad news, which reached
us by heliograph, carrier pigeon, runner and tom-tom
from our correspondent in that beleaguered country,
will cause grief to all supporters of hereditary monarchy.
The revolt, was apparently provoked by the King's
decision to pawn the Voltese crown jewels to buy
his son science and mathematics textbooks for his
forthcoming education in Australia. Howling mobs,
waving protest banners, placards and flyswats, yelling
in their quaint tongue "Nosin cosintheta" ("No science
without crown jewels") captured the Royal Palace.
The heir apparent was also captured, just as he was
boarding an Upper Voltese Airlines Tiger Moth (regular services to Afghanistan, Canberra and Siberia),
the sole aircraft owned by that heavily-subsidised
prestige airline.
Controversy is bound to rage for a considerable
time, but the heir apparent is now a dead issue.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Does the drastic taper of the Robson Reading Room
columns suggest that they will support more weight
at the bottom than at the top?
THE SIX SUPPLEMENTARY COMMANDMENTS,
AS GIVEN TO VA!
Firstly: That which thou doeth unto one side, doeth
thou verily unto the other (Sawkinians 5:1).
Secondly: Use not vain adjectives as the unlettered do
(1 Jacksonians 6:10).
Thirdly: Seeth that thou sedulously avoideth the passive voice; for he that useth the passive voice shalt
surely not escape (2 Jacks 3:2).
Fourthly: Thou shalt avoid tabulation (2 Jacks 3:3).
Fifthly: Thou shalt avoid the first person until thou
be sufficiently enlightened (Gospel according to Sir
Coal Brook).
Sixthly: Thou shalt not enter the room before the
gazetted time (From the First Epistle General of
St. Malcolm to the Gentiles in Room 2).
1st XV v. S.H.S.
Both teams having been introduced to the Governor,
play got under way in cold, windy conditions. From
the kick-off the High forwards bustled Shore and its
backs made several probing runs. Shore seemed uncoordinated and disorganised in the opening stages.
This was also the case last week, in the opening stages
of the game. A forward rush burst through the tentative Shore defence to score the first try, which was
unconverted, 3-0. Shore kicked off and from a series
of backline movements by High, a winger scored to
make the score 6-0. The try was converted, 8-0.
Shore then began to play as a team and bustle the
High players. After driving play well into High
territory, Shore was awarded a penalty right in front
of the goals. Lee kicked the goal, 8-3. From the
ensuing kick-off, play was taken back into High territory. The Shore forwards were winning most of the
ball, however, the Shore backs were unable to penetrate the sound High defence. Shore was awarded a
penalty, on the 25 yard line, in front, which Lee
kicked, 8-6. From this point till half time Shore
stormed the High line, nearly scoring on several occasions. Half time score, 8-6.
Shore continued to bustle High from the kick-off,
and from another penalty, Lee put Shore ahead, 9-8.
Play see-sawed from one end of the field to the other
at a fast pace. The handling on both sides was good
considering the conditions.
High, the wind at its back, began a series of deep
kicks into Shore territory forcing the team to turn
and cover desperately. The tiring Shore players were
forced to turn attack after attack. Then, three minutes before full time High was awarded a penalty which
was kicked, High 11—Shore 9. Shore flung the ball
about in a desperate attempt to snatch a last-minute
win but was unsuccessful. The final score was 11-9.

CHESS CLUB
In this year's inter-school chess competition the
Chess Club has entered two "C" Grade teams. These
are:Team I: Trebeck (capt.), Bellingham, Burgess,
Scanlan and Becke.
Team II: Fowler (capt.), Penman, Clifford, Burge,
McIntyre.
In the first round played on Friday, June 10, Shore
I played Shore II. Shore I won 4 games to 1.
CAKE STALL
The Cake Stall committee has arranged a luncheon,
to be followed by a parade of ski clothes, on Wednesday, June 29 at 12 noon, at the home of Mrs. F. J.
Pegg, 4 Karranga Ave., Killara. Donation $2. Enquiries: Mrs. Pegg 49-1344, or Mrs. Scanlan 74-8954.
Play began in ideal conditions as Shore kicked off.
From the ensuing ruck the St. Joseph's inside centre
kicked a deep kick towards the side line which was
gathered by a St. Joseph's wing, who scored. The
conversion was unsuccessful: 3-0. Joeys continued
to bustle the Shore team and launched several attacks
which almost resulted in a try. The pressure was
relieved when Shore was awarded two penalties, which
moved play back to half-way. From a serum the
ball was taken across the back-line and Beverley ran
strongly, only to be forced out feet from the line. He
was injured in the tackle and replaced by Richards.
Shore won the lineout and Pogson dived over for a
try. Cadwallader converted the try and Shore led 5-3.
The Shore forwards were now dominating play.
They were winning more set pieces than St. Joseph's
and were faster to the ball in the loose. From a
scrum very close to St. Joseph's line, Shore won the
ball and a forward dived for the line, but failed to
cross. However, Shore won the ruck and Pogson
scored. Cadwallader kicked his second conversion to
put Shore in the lead: 10-3.
In the second half St. Josephs drove play well down
into Shore territory and on two occasions were awarded
penalties which were kicked; St. Joseph's 9, Shore 10.
Shore then carried play into St. Joseph's 25 with some
strong forward rushes. Following some loose play in
the centre of the field, the St. Joseph's backs broke
through, their splendid backing up enabling them to
score. The try was converted. St. Joseph's led 14-10.
Shore threw everything into its attack and took play
back to St. Joseph's territory. Both Pogson and Hughes
crossed St. Joseph's line but failed to score. A penalty
to St. Joseph's eased the pressure until, from an orthodox backline movement the ball was passed to Roberts
on the wing. He outstripped the St. Joseph's defence
in a 50 yard run for the line but the ball was knocked
from his grasp inches short of the line. St. Joseph's
weathered the final storm and the final score was St.
Joseph's 14, Shore 10.
This was an excellent game of football. It was
very fast, hard and clean. The Shore pack dominated
play for most of the game and the backs made several
probing runs - the result could easily have been reversed.
SHOOTING
Last Saturday the usual group shot at Hornsby.
Bright sun and a very light 3 o'clock wind made conditions perfect, but scores generally were not as high
as might have been expected. A. 0. Atkins, R. W.
Kelly, A. G. H. Morris and 1. J. Woodforth defeated
I. A. Byrne, R. B. C. Cohen, J. G. M. Marsh and
T. W. Walton, in a seven-shot shoot by 120-1 10. The
top scores overall for the morning were: R. B. C. Cohen
33, 33; A. G. H. Morris 33; C. G. Nye 31; M. B.
Smith 31; I. J. Woodforth 31.

EDITORIAL
When the Shore Weekly Record was initiated 27
years ago, it was stressed that this was to be a publication "by, and for, the boys of Sydney Church of
England Grammar School". Naturally enough it was
used to announce coming sporting events, and to report
the results of same, these being important aspects of
a boy's life at school. Other events of interest to the
boys were also reported, and it began to assume its
role of "recording" the life of the school.
Somehow, quite slowly and imperceptibly, the paper
began to be used for more official purposes. The
Headmaster and staff frequently used the paper to
make announcements, or to issue directives. As a
result, many an issue provided little interest or enjoyment for the majority of the boys. Occasionally
creative writing appeared, but in the main this was
provided by members of the Record Committee themselves, who, at times, have had to work very hard to
fill the issue.
This has often resulted in poor writing, trite articles,
and schoolboy humour, not always in good taste. The
present committee has been very concerned with these
problems, and has made a genuine attempt to raise the
quality of the writing, to be more original, and to provide articles which they believed would appeal to the
boys. During the past twelve months, there have been
several issues praised by boys and masters alike.
Regular readers of the paper would be aware that
the committee has generally been discerning enough to
realise that any articles considered disparaging to any
section of the community, have not been considered
for publication. Yet recently there have been some
articles which have provoked adverse criticism. This
has somewhat surprised the committee. The problem
of editorial censorship has thus been raised. The committee feels that censorship, however, could never be
considered a democratic form of discipline. In a
democratic society, education must also be democratic,
and this means allowing some measure of freedom in
thought and expression, and some opportunity for
criticism and change where this is worthwhile. There
is bound to be conflict with a desire to initiate change,
and the present committee may have misjudged its
Friday, June 24, 1966
readers in this respect. But at the same time it feels
that what it writes does represent the current trends
of thought, and that in most cases, what it v/rites is
written for, and appeals to, the boys. Their response
has been encouraging. The committee welcomes the
criticism of its efforts, and will no doubt learn greatly
from recent discussions.
Following this desire to initiate worthwhile change,
and at the same time to encourage creativity by boys,
this issue of the Record contains the first Literary
Supplement. This represents some of the better work
submitted by the boys so far this year. Mr. Gebhardt,
as the Master-in-charge of English, has made the final
selection. Closer examination will reveal that the
members of the Record Committee are well represented. All boys must be encouraged to respect criticism,
to learn by their mistakes, but to continue their writing.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sir,
Under the new regulations regarding the decoration
of pad covers it has become impossible to exchange
a decorated, but unstamped, cover for a new pad.
Anyone trying to exchange such a cover at this time
in the term is also refused on the grounds that it must
be last term's cover. It appears that it is illegal to
save pad covers after the term of their issue, even if I,
they have not been exchangd.
This system ignores the fact that someone in the
sixth form is liable to write slightly more than his
counterpart in the third form, and both are issued
with two pads of each type per term. Previously a
third former would not use his allowed six maths pads
in a year, and would save the extra covers. When he
reached the sixth form he would be able to get more
than his allowed six for the year, and would use more
than six in the year. (Some students in the lower
sixth have used four already this year.) Although
under this system sixth formers seem to draw more
than their allowance of stationery, in fact over a period
of six years in the school they only get an average of
four pads per term. Surely this system of balancing
supply and demand with age should be allowed to
continue. Perhaps it would be preferable to issue each
newcomer with seventy-two pads and allow him to
use them when he needs to.

THE CELLAR
The air is thick and wet; the sand and rock floor
is damp, the mould grows on everything in this storeroom. It really is no more than the space between
the floorboards and the sandy soil below, but in the
seventeen years the house has been occupied it has
become the graveyard of all the unwanted, unneeded, or
simply old things. The whole room has a gritty texture - from the untouched common bricks to the
loose sand of the floor to the dust which penetrates
everywhere in the mould. Touch anything at all and
the grit seems to spring through the skin into the
mouth. Whether the object is a book or a rusty radiator it feels the same - clammy, mouldy, gritty.
Indiscriminately heaped about the room are the objects "stored". In the near corner by the tiny door,
cases of used books lean heavily askew. Text books,
notebooks, exam papers, results, children's books
thrust carelessly in when their presence upstairs became merely a nuisance, or when the family left
temporarily and had to compress its vast sprawl of
belongings into a few cases which were never again
unpacked. Further along the wall are spare venetian
blind slats, old tennis racquets with strings limp as old
lettuce, golf clubs, rusty and bent.
The one item often used looks surprised and dismayed at being here. It is a table extension whose
varnish gleams dully in the dim light. Next to it are
less fortunate pieces of furniture - a baroque, and
now so chipped as to be impressionist, firescreen, abandoned when the gas was laid on, a scratched radiator with its coils uncoiling.
Indeed the whole tableau of progress seems here heavy hickory skis, with bindings that only madmen
with no regard for their ankles would wear today,
model ships and planes, many in small pieces, as a
reminder of a past hobby, a tailor's dummy that celebrates a long lost interest in dressmaking. All these
sights contribute to the atmosphere of suspension.
Everything here is breathless, waiting; even the blobs
of concrete, which dribbled down the wall two decades
ago and solidified, seem to be waiting for some signal
to melt and slide along again. This atmosphere of
stillness but not peace is emphasised by the noises of
the animated household, coming clearly through the
floorboards above. Perhaps the atmosphere of being
passed by is best expressed by a framed, yellowing
portrait (nearly a caricature) of Winston Churchill,
looking more like a bulldog than John Bull ever did.
He is in a suitably oratorical pose, and below are the
lines "We will fight them on the beaches .....For
this symbol of times vanished, as for all the relics in
the storeroom, nothing exists any longer but the mould,
the grit, that sets this room apart from all the others.
There is nothing to fight for any more.
R. S. Angyal, LVIA
TWIN GODS!
The concrete is pink, not a sickly pink or a pleasant
pink, just pink, the compromise between red and white.
The doors are an equally unprovocative blue. There
are three doors and one small window. What worlds
lie behind these gates, blue gates. All are separate
worlds, but all are vital worlds.
One is the world of activity and co-ordination. Two
gods reign supreme, one in blue and brass - the other
in suit and moustache. Little gods serve these big
gods, scurrying to their command. However, none
is there, the thrones are vacant, the gate, shut.
A little to the left, a second world is found. This
is the kingdom of sport. Here too, resides one, big
god. He also has little gods scurrying around, collecting balls, rolling wickets. Now, all is dead within. The
gate is shut. Next door is found the final kingdom,
a small kingdom, but a busy one. Here, the books
are brought and bought, or lost on ships. The C.M.S.
gods have gone. The gate is shut. It is cold. The
rain is heavy. Icy clumps of air sprint along their
race track - the corridor. It is a long corridor.
Normally the very correct rectangles are hidden by
leather. Not a shoe. The wind keeps blowing.
To the right, the corridor, bordered by symmetrical
arches, disappears into darkness. The rain is pounding into the asphalt of the quadrangle. It is a cold
and bare, stark, quadrangle. The clump, clump, clump
is gone.
In the opposite direction, the rectangles race away
to a cold, factual, brick wall. Therein lies the bank.
Wait! Yes! A light! No! It is gone! A door bangs,
shoes shuffle. They are gone. The light is failing.
The poms would appeal, no doubt. The ball swings
in and breaks the wicket. The batsman is right. The
light is bad. How depressed, as he walks the length
of the corridor, the friendless corridor. There are no
sympathetic or congratulatory pats on the back.
Usually they are on the backside, in this territory,
anyhow.
A scrape and a shuffle? Yes! A manifestation of
humour and life appears. It is Swift, whistling despite
the rain, bouncing a ball before him and eating,
hungrily, a packet of Twisties.
The light is not so bad.

LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
AN EXAMINATION OF KINGSLEY
AMIS' "LUCKY JIM"
Often to make a point firmly it is not sufficient to
state the case, but may be necessary to exaggerate
the facts in order to be certain that the desired effect
is achieved. Such is the case in Kingsley Amis'
"Lucky Jim". Here in order to put his case, that
man is isolated in his thoughts, but still relies on
others for the establishment of his standards, Amis
uses an extremely exaggerated example of an isolated
modern man. James Dixon could hardly be said to
typify modern man, but he exhibits the qualities which
Amis wishes to discuss.
Dixon is introduced as a man who seems to have
no very close friends, he lives a singular life and does
not rely on intimate relationships at all. Soon it becomes obvious that the reason for this is that the real
Dixon is completely withdrawn from all his encounters
in life. He sits back and watches what he does,
listens to what he says, and laughs cynically at the
whole system. In fact the Dixon that everyone knows,
who speaks to people and shows a public face, is
nothing but a pretence put on by Dixon the person
in order to live in the modern world. This is the
point of the novel - Amis wishes to ridicule the pretences of the social system and he does so by showing that the thinking man is isolated from the world
he lives in but can put on a face to suit it.
Dixon is of course an extreme example. The considerations to which he is led in his thoughts about
his encounters in life would never occur to anyone
but an extremely intelligent, analytical person. Dixon
and the way that he thinks have simply been invented
by Amis as a vehicle to express his views on the subject. Dixon thinks and analyses in situations where
other people would not think - but still his behaviour
is representative of that of people in the modern world
- modern man.
Throughout the book the reader has the impression
that Dixon does not really exist in life at all, but
rather runs about behind the stage of life pulling the
strings which operate his "image" in the world. He
is completely withdrawn from all his relations with
other people. He considers Welch, his superior in
his job, to be a doddering old fool, but no sign of
this feeling shows in anything that he says to Welch
to his face.
This isolation is possibly shown to the greatest extent in his relations with Margaret. Even when
others would be caught up in passion, Dixon withdraws himself from his actions and thinks cynically
about the situation, analysing all considerations carefully before making a move. One gets the impression
that when Margaret is speaking to Dixon he is simply
passing it on to the reader, word by word, without
making the slightest comment.
Dixon also wages a war with Bertrand Welch, he
carefully analyses the campaign and notes down who
is on top at any stage. Any other man would be
passionately and totally involved in such a struggle,
but Dixon seems to be completely isolated, simply
June, 1966
doing certain actions and watching their results. Because of this removed attitude it is no surprise at all
when Dixon pretends to be someone else on the phone
- as far as the reader is concerned Dixon the producer has just made another puppet perform another
action, and the reader, like Dixon, awaits its result.
Although he controls his own actions in this way, and
weighs them all up seriously before taking any action,
Dixon has no control over life as a whole and so is
rather indifferent to what happens. He presents a
completely carefree character, living a life which is
little more than a game.
However, despite all his isolation and alienation
from life Dixon is still governed by rules, regulations
and ethics of the world about him. On the night of
the "arty weekend" Dixon is completely isolated, doing simply as he pleases, but suddenly something
changes the whole position. The next morning Dixon
is passionately and frantically involved in the necessity of covering up the fact that he has burnt the
sheets. Such a petty affair, and yet because of the
disapproving frowns it would bring from those around
him, Dixon is brought into a greater passion of terror
than anywhere else in the book. To Dixon himself the
sheets matter nothing but his own values do not come
into consideration. The values which rule him in life
are those set up by the people around him and not
his own. In his own mind he may have thought out
a complete set of values aligned to his own conscience,
and undoubtedly with his analytical mind he would
have done; but this internal system of his own does
not provide the values by which he regulates his
existence.
Within his personal struggle with Bertrand, although
completely justified under his own values, Dixon forms
and keeps a set of rules which are based on the ethics
of the group around him. Dixon is a complete nonconformist by nature and to him there would be nothing wrong with taking Christine from the ball. However, he contrives a complex strategy of taxi stealing
and dishonesty to lend decency to his own act. He
shows his concern about the way others will react by
immediately asking Christine whether she thinks the
method is unethical.
He could quite easily have brought Bertrand down
by proclaiming to all what he knew was going on
between Bertrand and Carol. This would have suited
Dixon's plans and also the sort of values which he
displays in his other behaviour.
For instance, just to provide a few laughs he writes
the letter (which appears in Chapter XVI) to Mr.
Johns warning him away from Marleen Richards.
Within the confines of his own mind and his own life
Dixon approves of this sort of behaviour, but still
allows himself to be ruled by the standards of the
society he lives in.
Not only does he accept the values of other people,
he puts on a pretence in order to be accepted in their
society. This is one of Kingsley Amis' main points
in the novel - to condemn this attitude in society.
As critic Elizabeth Jennings in the Listener said "the
loathing of pretension that made 'Lucky Jim' so engaging."
'4'
June, 1966
LITERARY
When Margaret comes to him after he has abandoned her at the dance he tries to answer her in a
manner put on for the purpose, but finds that "he
cannot synthesize enough of the required righteous
indignation". His life, or that portion of it lived
amongst other people depends on the pretence of being one of them and his willingness to accept their
judgement on values.
Finally the disaster of this pretence scheme is shown
at the lecture, where Dixon had written it "in a partly
unconscious attempt to make the stuff sound right, i.e.
acceptable to Welch". He is brought down by trying
to pretend and also because of the drunkenness which
is a sign that he is not completely lost to other people's
values. It was not the fact that he pretended, but
that he would not give up his own views that was
instrumental in his demise from the social academic
world.
The happenings at the end of the book also provide
support for the argument that man relies on others
for his values despite his own personal desires. Dixon
has his own personal wish, which is to him all important, to meet Christine at the station before her
train goes. However, he has to rely on the others
around him, those who set up the systems - in this
case timetable - for the fulfilment of his own need.
This case illustrates the fact that the individual although completely independent in his thought and personal desires, is subject to the society he lives in.
Dixon, in "Lucky Jim", signifies modern man non-isolated, alienated, non-conformist, being forced
to turn to the others around him for values which
will enable him to live in their world.

A DOG'S OPINION OF CARS
When I see one of those horrible monsters approaching I get very angry and want to take revenge on it.
They are made out of hard stuff which hurts my teeth
and they have big shining eyes and a big, wide mouth
with sparkling, silver teeth in it, with which they try
to eat me up.
I wish I could pull off one of its black legs and
bite it so hard that it bleeds. I've never done that,
but I often make it hoot and run away. I chase it
for about fifty yards then give up and go home again.
Some monsters become angry and throw things at
me. I don't like them. My master owns a monster,
but I don't chase his because he hits me if I do.
The only good thing about monsters is that they're
fun to chase.

LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
A REVIEW OF "CRY, THE BELOVED
COUNTRY"
Family ties are rent unmercifully by an invading
force: it is silent put potent, to some as terrifying as a
lifeless death. Friendships, home bonds, tribes, villages, races . . they are all torn asunder, tainted and
divested of their original values by the agonizing subtleties of an evasive enemy whose principal weapons
are the inevitable inabiities of the underprivileged opposition. "The tribe is broken and will be mended
no more. The tribe that has nurtured is broken. For
the men are away, and the young men and the girls
are away, and the maize hardly reaches to the height
of a man." These are Alan Paton's words in his
masterly novel "Cry, the Beloved Country", which
presents a view of the social, political and economic
situation in the Union of South Africa at the moment
with admirable sympathy and understanding. The
author does not denounce in tones of violence the invading enemy (supposedly the proud white man); the
notion is not even introduced. He seldom resorts to
condemnation, but delves into the fundamental disruptions with impartial analysis and produces a pathetically human picture of constant suffering. Perhaps
Alan Paton appreciates that bitter opposition to a
movement is futile, possibly selfish in some respects:
perhaps he remembers part of the narrative of the
Book to which the main character of "Cry the Beloved Country" desperately clings, a Book telling of
Israelites and Egyptians. Perhaps he remembers that
"Within the realms of history
Few other sounds abide:
But the cries of weeping children,
By Mother Nature's side"
and realizes that the conflicts in South Africa are indicative of a world-wide discontent.
This realization he certainly reveals in the degree
of character development in his novel, for no individuality is intentionally assigned to any person. John
Kumalo, a poor Presbyterian minister, is merely a
mouthpiece representing the heart-broken parent who
sets out to find relatives degraded by a mode of civilization whose merits and demerits they are slow to appreciate. Absalom Kumalo is the minister's son, a
boy drawn to the Witwaterstand by a yearning for the
usual attractions of an opulent community such as
that conducting justified segregation with unjustified
lack of diligence; such as that professing charitable
Christianity and depriving black people of freedom
and education; such as that enriching itself with gold
at the expense of others.
Similarly, other characters voice the opinions of
factions in South Africa. Cleverly manipulated by the
author, they present general situations in concrete,
sympathy-provoking terms of unrestrained vividity.
Character development, as it progresses, become more
collective than particular: the portraits of all characters
merge into one painting which in colour is predominantly dark green or grey, which in essence is an expression of hopelessness and resignation, which in
status is terrifyingly important.
June, 1966
The actual painting of this picture is in itself an
expression: an expression of eternal parting and reconciliation and meeting and division. John Kumalo
sees a son forsake his home, watches other friends
leave their birthplaces, hears dark rumours of their
dark destinations. He himself is torn from the secure
fold to seek the lost lambs, meets them in parched
pastures, and is sufficiently fortunate to return but with heavy heart and grave mind. The plot traces
this cycle with simplicity, the few diversions being
glimpses of other paintings, similar but different, different but the same: all works being in the one gallery,
a gallery ever enlarging; and when will the size cease
expansion? "Why, that is a secret."
This is the simple story of a simple people, but a
story formed and forming on immensely complex
foundations. To accommodate the situation to his
prose, Paton employs what has been rightly termed a
Biblical style; a style of simplicity but with the ability
of exposing profound truths in parable-form. Like
the Bible, "Cry, the Beloved Country" begins with
narrative and ends with revelation and a warning, to
be heeded by every individual.

CAPSIZING A BOAT
The captain and his first mate stood on the quarter
deck looking out across the English Channel. They
could see the ominous darkening over the horizon
which was the first sign of the coming storm. Already
the gusty wind had an icy menacing feel, but they had
ridden out many storms before, and there seemed little
cause for alarm.
The cargo was a herd of cattle which were tethered
about the deck, mooing plaintively as the increased
motion of the vessel started to make them uneasy.
About one and a half hours later the storm broke.
The wind whipped the usually placid sea into a
raging fury as though all the thundering power of
Poseidon was gathered and pitted against the little
craft, bobbing like a helpless cork. She climbed to
dizzying heights and plunged to dismal depths at the
mercy of the waves but she was well built and was
managing well so far.
Then it happened. The panic-stricken cattle broke
from their stalls and started raging about the decks.
A man who tried to stop them was trampled into the
deck. Terrified by the green monsters the cattle
charged to the side of the ship. The uneven weight
proved too much and the vessel capsized with a thundering crash. The captain and fourteen of the crew
went down with the ship.

ADULTS 51STUDENTS 3/-:
ENTRANCE STANDARDS FOR
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES
It was announced by the Hon. W. A. Chaffey, M.L.A., Minister for Agriculture, that, from the commencement of the 1967
academic year, the minimum educational qualification for
enrolment at Hawkesbury and Wagga Agricultural Colleges
will be the School Certificate with passes in not less than five
subjects which must include English, Mathematics and Science.
In accordance with these requirements, offers of enrolment will be made in order of merit based on the School
Certificate examination results.
However, in the event of the number of applicants with
these minimum qualifications exceeding the number of available vacancies in 1967, preference will be given:
Firstly, to those who hold the Leaving Certificate or furnish
evidence of a successfully completed fifth year at
secondary school, and
Secondly, to those who have gained useful experience for
a year or more on rural properties.
It is emphasized, however, that the possession of the Leaving Certificate will not necessarily ensure admission in 1967.
The position is, that offers of enrolment will be made
in order of merit, based on the Leaving Certificate examination results, provided passes have been obtained in at least
two of the three subjects, English, Mathematics and Science.
For the purpose of satisfying the latter requirement, acceptable Science subjects are Chemistry, Physics, Combined
Physics and Chemistry, Biology, Botany, Zoology, Physiology,
Geology and Agriculture.
Apart from the educational qualifications specified, an
age requirement also applies and intending applicants should
be not less than 161 and preferably 17 years of age at the
time of enrolment.
The demand for enrolment at Hawkesbury and Wagga
Colleges is highlighted by the fact that over 600 applications
were received for admission in the current academic year.
Of the total number of applicants, 567 had attempted and
the majority had passed the Leaving Certificate examination.
As academic merit was the basis of selection, with priority
being accorded to Leaving Certificate holders, all of the 146
available places at both Colleges this year have been allotted
to applicants in this category.
An analysis of the application for enrolment list shows
that, amongst those who could not be offered vacancies
are many applicants who satisfy the minimum educational
qualifications either at Leaving Certificate or School Certificate level. Some of the applicants for admission in 1966,
on the other hand, do not currently possess the necessary
minimum qualifications.
Anyone in the latter category who is still keen to enter
either College in 1967 or a later year should endeavour, in
the meantime, to satisfy the entrance standards.
For the benefit of those in earlier school years who may
be contemplating applying for admission to Hawkesbury or
Wagga at some later stage it is pointed out that the Colleges
attach much more importance to passes in English, Mathematics and Science than they do to any other subjects even
including Agriculture.
It is further emphasized that consideration will only be
given to those applications which are received in the calendar
year inirnediately prior to the year of admission sought.
This means that anyone still desirous of obtaining admission, who has failed to achieve this previously, must reapply in the appropriate year. In accordance with this ruling,
applications for enrolment in 1967 will be accepted up to
15th December next, by the Director-General, Department
of Agriculture, Sydney.
Applicants for traineeships tenable at either College are
requested to note particularly that they must complete the
standard application form for College enrolment in addition
to the traineeship application form.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
Why no "Reflections" in the June 24th issue?
Have the two letters of criticism from Mr. Jamieson
and a mention in assembly by the Headmaster scared
the Record Committee so much that they are afraid
to print what so much of the school enjoys and finds
amusing?
The introduction of the "Literary Supplement" is
an excellent idea. The essays and poems in it are very
well written. But I do not see why reviews of two
books which most of the school have probably not
read should be included. Rather there should be
more of interest to the whole school: essays after the
very readable style of "Twin Gods" and well written
poems such as "Death".
Let's see "Reflections" back again next week and
also many more "Literary Supplements".

THE TRIP TO CANBERRA
On Wednesday, June 22, a fine cold morning, 30
Prep. school boys comprising a modified 1St XV and
a Colts A's, set off for Canberra accompanied by Mr.
Waterhouse and Mr. Moir. Our T.A.A. Fokker
Friendship left Mascot at 9.00 a.m., flying down
the coast to Wollongong and then inland to Canberra,
arriving at 9.55 a.m.
We were met by an air-conditioned Commonwealth
bus which took us on a tour going first to the War
Memorial, where "G" for "George" the Veteran Lancaster attracted the most attention. After driving
past some of the embassies we went to the Mint, where
we viewed the various processes in the making of
the coins, from the Observation Gallery. Unfortunately we could not visit Parliament House because of
the S.E.A.T.O. conference.
The bus driver then took us to the Canberra Girls'
Grammar School, but fortunately realised his mistake
and delivered us safely at Canberra Grammar School.
Here we were given lunch and played our matches,
the 1st XV drawing their match 3 all and the Colts
A's losing 9-0.
After afternoon tea, the bus picked us up to take
us back to the Airport by way of Royal Military College, Duntroon.
We arrived at Mascot at 6.15 p.m., by Viscount,
after a most enjoyable day for which we thank Canberra Grammar School, Mr. Waterhouse and Mr Moir.

DEBATING
Following in the footsteps of our oratorial forefathers the Shore Debating Society requests the pleasure of your company at a debate.
TONIGHT . . . TONIGHT . . . We're having a
debate tonight.
8.00 ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE, HUNTERS HILL.
1st XV v. S.G.S.
The weather was cool but there was no wind, which
made conditions suitable for football. From the very
start, a vigorous Grammar pack took control of play
and forced Shore deep into its own half. Several
Grammar backline movements proved unsuccessful.
Then Grammar won a scrum on the 25 yard line and
the Grammar five-eighth kicked a field goal; 3-0. Not
long after, Shore was awarded a penalty on the Grammar ten yard line, but this was unsuccessful. Shore's
occupation of Grammar territory was short-lived.
The Grammar backs enjoying a feast of possession
had Shore on the defensive with a series of short kicks
over the Shore backline.
Grammar was awarded a penalty on the Shore 25,
which was kicked to give Grammar the lead; 6-0.
From the ensuing kick-off, the Shore forwards carried
play to within a few yards of the Grammar try line.
Shore won several rucks in a row and was awarded
a penalty, but the heavier Grammar pack withstood
the pressure and a series of fine kicks by the Grammar
full back took play back to the halfway. A crucial
period, in which Shore had to score, had been lost.
Not long after, Grammar was awarded another penalty
on Shore's 25, which was successfully kicked; Grammar 9, Shore 0.
The Grammar pack was winning the ball from all
set pieces and the rucks and continued to do so until
half-time.
Shortly after half-time, from a ruck close to the
Shore line, the Grammar blind-side wing broke through
several tackles to score in the corner. The conversion
was unsuccessful; Grammar 12, Shore 0. The Shore
pack then began to show some life. From a serum
30 yards out, the ball swept along the backline to
Roberts, who raced past would-be tacklers to score in
the corner; Grammar 12, Shore 3. Shore kept play
in the Grammar half and was awarded a penalty
about 30 yards out. Cadwallader kicked it to make
the score 12-6. Play remained in the Grammar half
for most of the remainder of play. The Shore backline launched several attacks, one of which resulted in
Roberts being held over the Grammar line. Shore's
revival had come too late, however, and Grammar
held out to win 12-6.
SHOOTING
Although last Saturday was windless, a dull light
may have contributed to the disappointing scores from
the majority of the shooters. It was only the good per formances of the few that gave the scores a more
satisfactory appearance.
The top scorers were:Townsend, R. W. 33; Allerton, D. N. 32; Bathgate,
L. D. 32; Campbell, R. G. 31; Marsh, J. G. M. 31;
Woodforth, I. J. 31.

Two notable ex-members of the Record Committee
are appearing in Ben Jonson's "Bartholomew Fair" at
St. Paul's College, Sydney University. They are David
Marr and Tomas Drevikovsky. David, continuing
his "ecclesiastical" tradition, begun as the Archbishop
of Canterbury in "Henry V", stars as Zeal-in-the-land
Busy, a somewhat overzealous, disreputable cleric.
Tomas shines forth as Mooncalf, topster to the raucous
and vulgar Ursula, the pig-woman. The play is devilishly funny and shockingly bawdy, but as Mrs. Everage would say: "A good night's entertainment".

"We could call it the Grammar-phone: it would play

Once again the Record scores a well earned victory:
it has been conclusively shown to have the largest
circulation of any weekly newspaper in the school.
In fact, recent statistics indicate that our circulation is
greater than that of all other competitors combined.
Quality has also increased: Records are more than
ever being taken home rather than left on the oval,
and tests show that literacy standards are rising so
rapidly that no Shore boy need be rejected by the
army on educational grounds.
PROBLEM CORNER
In any triangle there are three sides and three
angles. Can you construct two triangles which
have five of these the same size but the sixth one
unequal?
If ABC = AB + BC + CA, what is CAB?
Solution to Problem Corner, 24/6/66.
Let "r" be the radius, then (r + 6) 2 = r2 + r2
sor2- 12r36=Owhichgivesr6(1 +V2).
The radius of the table is therefore approximately
14+ inches.
It is evident from the addition that S = 9, M = 1,
E = zero and Y = 2. There cannot be one to
carry from the addition A + I, otherwise L and R
would become equal. By trial and error the only
possible value for L is 8 which makes the answer
10772. There are various possibilities for A and I
but the value of MERRY is unique.
The distance from C to A is 5i6- miles and the
distance from A to B is 31-i miles. The sum of
these is 9* miles. Now we know that the distance
from B to C is less than 9* miles (A, B, C are
not in a straight line), but it is greater than 9 miles
by a multiple of * of a mile. This multiple can
only be * of a mile itself, so the distance required
is 220 yards.

THE DAINTY DISH
Under the yum-yum tree he chews,
At times he looks at his bamboo shoes,
Scrutinously counts the party dues,
Checks all China's daily news.
Having enjoyed a battered soul,
He dunks in his tea a buttered roll.
Which though it's only made of rice
He thinks to taste peculiarly nice.
He glances at his atomic clock
Then having received this timely shock
He yells at his wife to change her frock
Then rushes to meet his faithful flock.
Under one sun,
Cooled by one breeze
Armed with one gun
All down on skinny knees.
We pray, great leader of sagacity,
For increasing uniformity
That each and every meiotic division
That every surgeon's clean incision
Be true in faith to thy true form,
To thy great glorious golden norm.
This our sacrifice,
Our fields, their rice.
Our voices all roaring,
Thy cause adoring.
A little voice in the muddle of men
Looks at the leader once again
His stomach roars,
His voice soars,
Above the cheering and clapping and hooting.
Out to his farm where the soldiers, looting,
Raise their rifles ready for shooting.
'I am no better off,' he weeps,
'But better off are they.
I cannot argue wrong from right
But they're taking my rice away.'
Bang! bang!
They shot him that day.
Sizzle, Sizzle
They cooked him to clay.
Our norm can bear
This sort of shot fare
For though the bullets grind his teeth
The bones are pulpy underneath.

OTHER NOTICES
The Rev. J. Arnold, Secretary of the Church of
England Boys Society, and Assistant Chaplain of the
C. of E. Youth Department, will speak in Chapel on
Tuesday and on Friday of this week.
Masters on Duty: Mr. Rossell, Mr. Laide.
On Friday, July 1, the Lower Sixth Form and some
niembers of the Fifth Form attended a rendering of
Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" given by Rob IAg1i
Mr. Inglis who is sponsored by the Arts Council of
Australia, wore a fourteenth-century costume, and for
scenery used a long table and four chairs.
He employed Nevifie Coghill's modern translation
and introduced his programme by giving a background
to the play. The prologue told of a group of pilgrims
on their way to Canterbury, who, in order to pass
their time, decided that each should tell a story and
that the best would be rewarded. The first tale was
that of the Wife of Bath who had five husbands and
was "ready to welcome the sixth." She was extremely
ugly but changed into a ravishing beauty to please
her sixth husband. The Pardoner's Tale told how
three young men set out deliberately looking for
" deathS'. They found a huge gold treasure and in the
end each one met death because of his greed.
However, the climax of the performance was the
Miller's Tale which described a young student trying
to make love to the glamorous young wife of a doddery
old carpenter. His love was refused, but in the process
he discovered a second lover and took vengeance by
using a red hot poker.
Mr. Inglis's rendition was lively, interesting and
stimulating, and provoked much discussion later.
NIOSMAN COUNCIL VISIT
On Tuesday, June 28, a throng of boys from VAT
assembled outside North Sydney Council Chambers to
observe Council in session, having been invited for
this purpose by the Mosman Council. This invitation
was relayed to the class via the form master, and
owing to some unforseen mishap in the link of communication, the wrong address had been announced.
Having discovered this slight error, the group rectified
it by moving to Mosman by bus at the expense of
the breakage in the line of communication.
Thus it came to pass that the Mosman Council meeting started promptly at 8.15, 30 minutes late. During
the first minutes there were welcomes, minutes, apologies and Mayoral minutes. Then the first ten points
on the agenda were skipped through ii olympic time.
Apart from telephones, ovals and eight foot high
fences, the aldermen discussed artists being allowed
to stay in their homes, swimming poois on beaches,
and the building of eight-storey flats to block views.
Our thanks go to the mayor, who helped to make
everyone feel at ease, for an interesting evening.
TENNIS
All the tennis matches were washed out after: only
a few sets had been played.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
THE
SHORE VEEKLY RECORD
is published by and for the boys of
Sydney Church of England Grammar School
Editor: R. S. ANGYAL
As. Ed.: G. C. WOODROW
Secretary: J. F. BOULTBEE
1st XV v. T.K.S.
Kings kicked off beneath a bleak, grey sky. A
Shore backline movement carried play well into the
Kings half but a deep kick from a Kings back moved
play back to the Shore half. Some scrappy play
followed, from which Kings was awarded a penalty.
This was kicked and once again Shore was 3 points
down within a few minutes of play.
From the kick-off the Shore forwards drove downfield. Almost immediately Shore was awarded a
penalty about 35 yards out. The kick failed but the
forwards following it caught a Kings player in possession. The loose ball was scooped up, passed along
the backline to Roberts who evaded several tackles,
then passed to Maltby backing up, who scored. Cadwallader converted the try: Shore 5, Kings 3.
Play continued at a fast pace with both packs winfling an even share of the ball. Several runs by Richards and Roberts nearly resulted in tries. However,
at half-time the score was still, Shore 5, Kings 3.
Play resumed and the Shore forwards moved play
well into Kings territory. A serum close to the Kings
line was cleverly wheeled and Chapman picked up
the ball and dived over. The try was not converted
and Shore led by 8 points to 3. Kings rallied and
stormed the Shore line for about ten minutes but
were kept out by solid defence. A kick and backline movement eased the pressure eventually and it
was Shore's turn to attack. From a serum just inside
the Kings 25, Lyttle picked up the ball and raced
around the blindside. After sidestepping and crashing through several tackles he passed back inside to
Pogson who scored close to the posts. Cadwallader
converted: Shore 13, Kings 3.
Kings attacked once more and from a five-yard
serum, the half-back scored. This try was converted.
Shore 13, Kings 8. Kings strove desperately to
score again but Shore's sound defence held till fulltime. Shore won 13-8.

a

b, c, d respectively such that - = - -. Then
c
b
d
the triangles have all their corresponding angles
equal, and two sides of one are equal to two (noncorresponding) sides of the other.
A simple example consists of triangles with sides
27, 18, 12 and 18, 12, 8.
Friday, July 8, 1966
2. AB+BC+CA=11(A+B+C)
I00A+10B+C= IIA+1IB+IIC
and so 89AB+ IOC
Since the right hand side is less than 100, A must
be 1 and it follows B - 9 and C = 8. Therefore
CAB is 189.
DEBATING
The second round of the G.P.S. Debating Conipetition was held against St. Joseph's College on
July 1. After having lost to an experienced North
Sydney Boys' High team the night before, Shore I
(Jenkins, Selby, Angyal) defeated St. Joseph's fairly
comfortably. Debating on the topic "that the time
has come to cut our ties with the British Commonwealth", Shore was aided considerably by the fact that
the S.J.C. team seemed not to know what the British
Commonwealth really was.
Jenkins opened the opposition's case with good
matter but was confused and did not set forth the
arguments to follow. Selby spoke vigorously and
clearly, but did not rebut the government's contention
that the British Commonwealth consisted of Australia
and New Zealand. Angyal, showing his best form
yet this year, received the highest marks of the night
for a sound speech and guaranteed Shore's victory.
The adjudicator had a vast number of pertinent criticisms to make of both teams, mostly involving organisation and sticking to the rules of debating, which
he set forth at great length.
The second team of Wild, Joseph and Makai and
the third team of Churches, Irelard and Booth both
lost narrowly.
The next round of the G.P.S. competition will be on
July 29 against Sydney High School. On July 15,
Angyal will represent the school in the Lawrence
Campbell Oratory Competition, held at Sydney Grammar School.
SCHOOL DANCE
After extensive organisation and preparation the
topic of conversation in the Senior School for the last
four weeks finally eventuated. The theme of the
decorations was polypiscatorial; nets adorned with sea
creatures were hung loosely around the walls; streamers
were draped low under the lights, dimmed to a misty
blue.
The music was enthusiastically provided by Gus
and the Nomads, whose playing kept everybody dancing energetically. The highlight of their performance
was a wild rendering of "The House of the Rising Sun",
which brought everyone to a standstill at the end of
the evening.
A pleasant supper was served in the undercroft.
The young ladies are to be complimented on their
attractive dressing, but Shore boys should realize that
coats are usually not removed at a formal dance.
By popular acclaim, the dance was a great success,
and the committee and all who helped are to be congratulated on their achievement; the dance, as everyone had hoped, was exciting and educational.

POEM
This lonely flame, still burning on
As also does the poet's work
But all men die—one day must fly
Away from this, their life.
This skull of one who is long dead
Never to be seen again
But a memory is left behind
Of how he worked and toiled
The empty casing which once held
The poet's careful thought.
This paperweight, without its master
For whom to do its work
The poet's book, which he so loved
Is lying still remembered, still,
But, one day, all men will have
Forgotten, this man's jewel
This flame which casts a wide impression
Over all mankind.
This skull, this book, this paperweight
Will one day all be gone
But the poet's works will still,
Still live for years to come.
But even a candle flutters,
Flutters twice, and it is gone,
So will it be, the labour goes
To be forgotten, forever goes
Away from in this life.

REFLECTIONS
77
The umbrella stood in his stand. He hadn't been
closed up properly and was very uncomfortable. Water
was dripping off his nose, but he hadn't just been out
in the rain. He was sobbing - thinking about his
rough handling made him go to pieces. The other
umbrella that was occupying the stand with him noticed
his pitiful condition and said:
"Come, come, old chap, pull yourself together.
Would it do you any good to tell me what's on your
mind?"
The sad umbrella drew himself together with a
click and breathing jerkily replied:
"I su-suppose it wo-uld be better i-if I tell someone.
You see, I am very old, and I'm just not used to being
handled the way my owner treats me. I think he
could take a little more trouble to put me up the way
I'm supposed to go, don't you? Why, I might even
catch cold in this condition.
"Well, one hundred years ago I bore the proud gold
wording MADE IN GERMANY—you can still see
parts of the print along the handle - that bully's
been chipping it off. To go on, the Grand Duke Heinz
Friedrich Muller Brown bought me. He was a playboy! He even had two small flaps fitted on me to shelter
two girls, one on each arm. They tell me he died
of a surfeit of children. I wouldn't be surprised. Still,
he kept good care of me.
"He went on a tour around Asia, and left me in a
rickshaw at Shanghai, presumably chasing another
woman. The Emperor Cheep Fee bought me at an
auction for two bits. He was a cheapskate of the
first degree, but he always had a warm cup of linseed
oil for me at the end of the day. He installed a little
hook right up there in my ribbing - can you see it?
He used to thread his three foot pigtail through there
whenever he used me. I stayed with His Excellency
for forty years until his death. They buried me with
him - that was an experience, but after three months
some insolent commoners dug me up and since then
I have been in a nudist camp, under the North Pole
and across the Sahara Desert. I was amazed to find
that I was not any the worse for wear.
"But look at me now! Old what's-his-name's done
everything imaginable to me. By the way, can you
see his name? He's carved it on my handle."
"Ah, yes - G * B * A * D *," the other said.
"Oh you poor soul - my master's son always talks
about him - A slavedriver and a miser; I thought
people were hung for highway robbery.
"Anyhow, are you glad you've got that off your ribs?"
"Ah yes, thanks. I think I'll go to sleep now; I
feel a yawn coming on. Uh-oh, I think I'm stuck.
What a surprise this'll be to old Stuffy!"

SHOOTING
Adverse conditions brought about the abandonment
of shooting about half-way through the morning. A
12 knot wind from 3 o'clock caused great difficulty
for many shooters. The previously good conditions
at Hornsby have allowed easy shooting, and Saturday's
conditions showed the inexperience of most of the
shooters.
Despite the conditions, the first possible of the term
was scored by R. G. Campbell. The other top scores
were (possible 35):— R. W. Kelly 32; J. S. Maslin 32;
I. A. Byrne 31; R. C. Selby 30; D. J. Fletcher 30.

SHOOTING
A larger number of shooters than usual went to
Hornsby Range last Saturday and produced some
very good results overall.
With perfect conditions early in the shoot, Cohen
put on the second possible for this year, thus equalling
the number of possibles at 300 yards during all of
last year. This promising start to the morning was
followed by a 34 and some snap shooting of a high
standard with Cohen getting another possible, 8 hits
out of 8 making a score of 32.
The top scores were: R. B. C. Cohen 35, 32
snap; R. W. Kelly 34; I. Byrne 33; M. E. Townsend
32.

GENERAL PAPER ADDRESS
Last Friday Mr. A. J. Bradhurst addressed the
General Paper groups on computers. Mr. Bradhurst
who left Shore in 1962 gained his B.Sc., at Sydney
University and now works for I.B.M. A career in
the field of computers, one of the world's most rapidly
growing industries, provides interest for a wide range
of people, from teachers to mechanics, engineers and
salesmen. The first requirement is a tertiary education "because it teaches you to think for yourself",
and this, coupled with a logical mind, provides the
wherewithal to obtain a satisfactory knowledge of computers.
The second half of the lecture proved most enlightening. It was a film that dealt with computers
and their uses. Scenes of wool growing and selling
in Australia, sugar production in Taiwan, jute fibre
processing in India and pottery making in Japan showed the variety of applications to which computers can
be put, all resulting in quicker more accurate business
transactions and records. it is perhaps reassuring
that computers cannot think for themselves as was
pointed out in the course of discussion, but if this
lecture did nothing else it dispelled our hopes of becoming clerks.

SCHOOL CONCERT— 1966
On Friday last, the Music Society presented an
enterprising School Concert, which happily did not
follow the former practice of splitting the material
into two separate groups, one to each part. Two
semi-revue numbers, one by the Record Committee
and one by Jenkins and Wild were greatly appreciated
by the sizeable audience. The Record Committee,
though at first a little indistinct, gave a very creditable
performance. Wild and Jenkins, elaborately propped,
were also very amusing in the manner of Swan and
Flanders, although "Opera House" was perhaps a
little pretentious.
The School Orchestra provided a lively opening
with two pieces by Haydn. Unfortunately little of
the wind group could be heard. The Prep. Recorder
Group gave a polished and lively performance, and
perhaps some of its members may soon swell the
depleted ranks of the School Orchestra. B. Morrison's
horn solo was rather dominated by its accompaniment, but had good tone, and he again showed promise.
Debussy as played by R. B. Norden was perhaps a
little soft, but was interesting. It was well performed,
and the composition itself had a vital air.
The 111132 Class Music Group provided welcome
insight into school music teaching, and showed what
could be done with practice. The performance was
generally well co-ordinated, and appealed to the sense
of rhythm. It was, however, a little too long, and
many boys in the group had little to do. D. Selby
and W. Cumberland gave a pleasing performance in
their piano duet, with a piece well suited to a school
concert. It had a strong melody, without too many
sophisticated overtones. "Christmas Carol", though a
little dated, was another item which helped to move
the concert along. It was humorous, and appealed to
the audience.
The Handel Sonata was also pleasing, with a delicate
balance between violin and piano. The second movement was bright, lively and melodious. Houldsworth
once again displayed his considerable talent as a
violinist. The choir's two items, Mozart's "Gloria",
and "With a Voice of Singing", came over reasonably
well, although there was an overriding and sometimes
piercing treble tone, and a few entries were missed.
The IIIAI presentation of "Twiddlers' Lament" was
both interesting and amusing, and once again well coordinated.
J. Cormack's playing of the trumpet was one of the
highlights of the evening. Although he had a little
trouble in some parts of the "Trumpet Voluntary",
he regained his confidence in his second number, and
played well. The Bach Double Concerto for violins
Friday, July 15, 1966
was of quite a reasonable standard, considering the
difficulty of the work.
The first of the pop sounds, the TR2, was of
average quality, with Storrier on the drums attracting
most attention. The next group (Kinsman, Paul,
Starrier and Turk) was far better. Kinsman (lead
guitar) was very accomplished, and was well backed
tip by rhythm. The vocal "Gloria" was technically of
a high standard, but the whole performance was marred
by excessive volume. Mr. Gilfillan gave an interesting
rendition of two songs pleasingly accompanied by boys
from 111132, and was followed by the traditional finale
of the prefects' song, with intriguing harmonic variations on the chorus line. In conclusion, it can be
said that this was the best concert for many years,
and the senior prefect, A. S. King, was a most effective
and self-assured compere.
L.D.B. LVIB.
1st XV v. T.A.S.
From the kickoff the Armidale team made its intentions quite clear with some strong rucking and
tackling. Within five minutes Shore had been penalised right in front in its 25. The kick was successful; Armidale 3, Shore 0. The usual three point start
conceded, Shore drove play to within the Armidale
25. Here Shore was awarded a penalty which Cadwallader kicked; Shore 3, Armidale 3.
Next tollowed a period of play in which the ball
travelled swiftly along both backlines. Sound defence
from both teams brought many a movement to a
crashing end. From a five yard scrum, Chapman
scooped up the ball and dived over. The try was
unconverted; Shore 6, Armidale 3. Several backline
movements later, Shore won a ruck close to the
Armidale line and Hughes crossed. The kick was
unsuccessful and until half-time the score remained;
Shore 9, Armidale 3.
Whereas, in the first half possession of the ball was
evenly divided, in the second half, the Armidale forwards began to dominate play; but the Armidale backs
wasted many opportunities with ill-judged kicks. From
a lineout two yards out from the Shore line, Armidale
was awarded a penalty which was kicked; Shore 9,
Armidale 6. The Armidale players lifted their game
even more, and for a tense fifteen minutes, attacked
continuously. The attacks were repelled with some
frantic defence and Shore was very relieved when play
was finally moved out of its half.
Shore won a ruck in the Armidale half and Lyttle
passed to Lee, running the blind-side. Eventually
Roberts scored in the corner; Shore 12, Armidale 6.
Shore continued to attack. The Shore backs executed
a dunimy scissors movement between the five-eighth
and both centres. Lee breaking through the fooled
defence, passed to Roberts who scored his second try
in the corner. The try was not converted and so
when the whistle blew, Shore had won 15-6.
Although Shore won by 9 points, there were several
periods in the game when the Armidale attack troubled
Shore considerably. It was a spirited effort from the
Armidale School.

There was a young man from Trinity,
Who took square root infinity,
But the number of digits
Gave him the fidgets;
He dropped Maths and took up Divinity.
Are the heaps of gravel on the hail roof to provide
practice for potential roadworkers, who can spend
many happy hours digging holes and filling them in

PROBLEM CORNER
The census taker called and asked the head of the
house how many children he had and was told
there were three children. On asking their ages
he was told that this information would not be
given but that the product of their ages was 36.
The census taker said this information was not
sufficient and he was told that the sum of their
ages was the same as the number of the house
next door. The census taker went out and looked
at the number of the house next door and returned
saying that he still did not have enough information
to determine their ages.
He was then told that the eldest child was learning music and he said that he was now able to
determine the ages of the three children.
What were their ages?
Some anachronistic money problems:
A tobacconist bought a quantity of pipes at 2s.1d.
each and others at 4s.1d. each. He spent in all
£8-6-8 on the pipes. How many of each did he
buy?
Which is cheaper, half a dozen hot cross buns at
a dozen dozen for half a dozen shillings, or a
dozen half dozen hot cross buns at half a dozen
dozen shillings for a dozen dozen dozen?
Given that P,Q,R and S are in descending order
of magnitude and that
PQRS + QRSP + RSPQ + SPQR = 12221
find P,Q,R and S?
TORQUE
What is the Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition? A mystic spiritual rite? Traditional exotic
games? If this question looms large in your mind, find
out by first hand experience tonight.
If you already know, you will be ready to support
Shore's representative, R. S. Angyal.
In fact the L. C. 0. is a public speaking contest
for GPS schools. Each competitor has fifteen minutes
81
to prepare a ten minute speech. It is the only time
in the year when debaters from all GPS schools meet,
and, of course, they require support, even Shore representatives.
Tonight - 8 p.m. - Sydney Grammar School.
A PIRATE
The pirate's laugh sent shivers down my spine. He
sat by himself and gulped down his tankard of rum.
His face was wrinkled and had an ugly-looking beard.
He wore a bright purple coat outlined in gold, a battered black cocked hat and a patch across one eye.
His dirty yellow kerchief almost covered the front of
his grubby grey shirt.
He stood up and slammed the empty tankard on
the rough oak table. As he turned he grasped the hilt
of his sword then staggered across the room. Just
as he reached the threshold 1 noticed he had a wooden
stump for a leg. A tarry pigtail fell down his bask,
while under one of his arms was a telescope.
Roaring drunkenly lie crashed through the swingdoors and vanished. Surely this man was the wickedest creature 1 had ever laid eyes on!

SCHOOL MATHEMATICS COMPETITION
Two Shore boys were successful in the School Maths
competition held in June this year. They were I. A.
Pollard, SAl, who won a prize and certificate of merit;
and A. J. Makai, IVAI, who won a certificate of
merit; both competing in the junior section. Candidates
from Sydney Grammar won both the senior and junior
divisions. The prizes and certificates will be presented
at a ceremony at the University of New South Wales on
August 10.
This crew was selected as the most worthy crew to
represent the country and the one most likely to benefit from the tour.
The N.S.W. Rowing Association World Championship Fund was launched by the Lord Mayor, Ald. J.
Armstrong, and the Shore Boat Club has contributed
to the Fund. This is to pay the expenses of the tour,
which will amount to $10,080.
LAWRENCE CAMPBELL ORATORY
COMPETITION
On Friday, July 15, R. S. Angyal represented the
school in the annual oratory competition for G.P.S.
schools.
All G.P.S. schools were represented as well as three
associated schools. Speakers had fifteen minutes to
prepare a ten minute speech on one of three topics.
The choice presented was: "Truth", "Toothbrushes"
and the quotation from "Hamlet" "To thine own
self be true, and it must follow as the night the day,
thou canst not then be false to any man".
Angyal chose to speak on toothbrushes, the only
topic offering much scope for a humorous attack.
As well as being light and amusing, he developed
the theme of a mental blockage over toothbrushes, and
a general suppression of information about them in
the modern world. Unfortunately, he found the witty
tone difficult to keep up and the speech weakened a
little at the end after a very sound beginning.
Third place was gained by the Newington representative, who was speaking in the Lawrence Campbell
for the third time; second place was taken by the
Cranbrook speaker, both of these speaking on truth.
The winner was Enwright from Riverview, who
spoke on the Hamlet quotation, concluding that the
inverse was true - to other men be true and it follows thou canst not be false to thyself.
The improved Shore support was very pleasing to
note, and it is to be hoped that it will continue for
two debates in the near future:
Tonight - v. S.C.E.G.G.S., Darlinghurst - 7.30 p.m.
at S.C.E.G.G.S.
Friday, 29 - v. Sydney High, at Shore. This is the
last competition debate of the year.

The conversion was unsuccessful. Time was running
out and Shore threw everything into the attack. The
bustled Scots team fumbled the ball and Shore drove
back to the 25. The ball was passed along the Shore
backline two or three times but Scots defence held.
Then Shore won a scrum right in front of the posts,
about 25 yards out. Lyttle passed to Lee, who kicked
a field goal; Shore 14, Scots 11. That was the final
score.
SHOOTING
1st XV v. T.S.C.
At the start both teams were unsettled, and there
was a period of scrappy play between both 25's.
Scots was awarded a penalty within kicking range and
it looked as though Shore would concede the normal
start. However, the kicker miscued and Shore, taking
the ball downfield began to attack the Scots line.
Corbett crossed the line only to be brought back
for a penalty to Scots. Lee, running the blind, was
forced out in the very corner. The Scots forwards
were much faster than the Shore forwards, in the loose.
From some broken play in the Scots 25, a back broke
loose and reached the Shore 25, before being well
tackled by the cover defence. Scots applied the pressure, and, although Shore won 5 or 6 lineouts in a
row, play still remained in the Shore 25.
Scots was then awarded a penalty, which the Scots
kicker steered between the posts; Scots 3, Shore 0.
Following the kickoff, the ball was passed around
loosely and fell to the ground. The Scots outside
centre gathered the ball and sprinted 50 yards to score.
The try was converted; Scots 8, Shore 0. The score
remained unchanged until halftime.
Scots continued to bustle the Shore players, who
lacked unity, in the second half. A quick heel from
a ruck in the Shore 25 resulted in a Scots winger diving over in the corner. The attempted conversion was
unsuccessful and Shore was down 11-0. Until half way
through the second half, Scots attacked the Shore line.
At this stage, a Shore revival looked unlikely, even
to the most partial supporter. The Scots forwards were
faster to the ball, winning it quickly and getting their
backs away. Then, as has happened so often this
season, the forwards lifted their game and played together as a solid unit. They took control of the game
winning the rucks, scrums and lineouts. With a clean
service of the ball the Shore backline began to show
its paces.
Shore was awarded a penalty in the Scots 25, which
Cadwallader kicked; Scots 11, Shore 3.
Shore stormed back into Scots territory. The Scots
fullback failed to reach the line with a kick. Green
gathered the ball and passed to Maltby. He broke
through a tackle and then passed to Roberts, who
gained about 15 yards before being tackled. Lyttle,
backing up, scooped up the loose ball and dived over.
Cadwallader converted the try; Scots 11, Shore 8.
Shore was forced back by two penalties to Scots,
but then a penalty to Shore put them on the attack
once more. From a lineout about 35 yards out, Roberts joined the backline outside Lee, and sliced through
the Scots defence to make the score 11 all.
With most of the open football teams playing in the
afternoon, there was an opportunity for footballers
who previously had been unable to shoot, to press
their claims for selection for camp.
The large number of footballers meant that, although some who ticked their names did not come,
there were 24 boys who finally shot.
Good conditions early in the shoot deteriorated later;
a wind which varied in intensity during the rest of the
morning made conditions very difficult. This was
particularly so for the large number of newer shooters.
The top scores were: I. A. Byrne 33; J. G. M. Marsh
33; I. J. Woodforth 33, 32; A. 0. Atkins 32; R. W.
Townsend 32; J. S. Maslin 32, 32.
CHESS CLUB
On July 1 Shore I defeated Manly 3 games to 2.
(Scanlan, Becke, Burgess won; Trebeck, Lloyd lost.)
Shore II lost 5 games to nil against Grammar I.
(Penman, Fowler, Burge, Petrie, Dey.)
On July 8 Shore I (Trebeck, Bellingham, Scanlan,
Becke, Burgess) defeated St. Aloysius I 5 games to
nil.
Shore II defeated Grammar II 3+ to 1+. (Penman,
Fowler, Hindle won; Petrie drew; Burge lost.)
On July 15 Shore I drew 2+ to 2+ with Grammar I.
(Bellingham, Burgess won; Trebeck drew; Scanlan,
Becke lost.)
Shore II (Penman, Fowler, Burge, Petrie, Hindle)
defeated St. Aloysius 5 nil.
With one round left to play Shore I, with 21+ points
out of 30, is in a strong position and may win its
division.
LORETO VISIT
Last Friday, the Shore Choir and a dedicated band
of the school's musicians performed for the girls of
Loreto Convent, Kirribilli.
Morrison on the horn and Gerber accompanying
him on the piano, played Handel excerpts, which were
followed by Cormack's grand rendering of Purcell's
Trumpet Voluntary. Edye, Butler and Robinson sang
their Christmas Carol, fresh from their appearance in
the School Concert and the girls seemed to enjoy it,
perhaps more than the more serious items rendered.
The choir concluded the programme with the following items: Mozart's "Gloria", Shaw's "With a Voice of
Singing", and two encore pieces, performed from memory, namely - Tye's "Lord, For Thy Tender Mercies'
Sake" and "Laudate Nomen" attributed to Farrant.

PARODY
Oh, to be in Vietnam
Now the Yanks are there,
And whoever wakes in Vietnam
Sees, some morning, quite aware,
That all the trees and the creeping vines
Hide the Viet-Cong in dark confines,
While the bullets sing through a blistered bough
In Vietnam - now!
And after Yanks the Aussies follow
And the killings continue through hill and hollow.
Hark, where the raucous rifles in the trench
Spray o'er the field and scatter on the dower
All before them to die and stench
That's the crude war, returning over and over
Lest you should think man never could recapture
Killing's loathsome rapture.
And though the fields look red with human blood
All will be gay when peace is come in flood
The buttercups, the little children's dower
—Far greater than this grim un-finest hour!
R.J.P. SAT.
With apologies to Robert Browning.)
SOLUTION TO PROBLEM CORNER
15/7/66
The factors of 36 are 1 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3. Therefore,
the possible ages of the three children, the product of
whose ages is 36 are:
lx4x9and1+4+914:2x2x9and2±2±9
= 13: 2 x 6 x 3 and 2 + 6 + 3 = 11: 4 x 3 x 3 and 4 +
3+3=10: lx3xl2 and 1+3+12=16: lx2x
18 and 1 + 2 + 18 = 21: 1 x 6 x 6 and 1 + 6 + 6 = 13.
This information was realised by the census taker,
and the fact that he required more information after
having looked at the number next door meant, that the
number must have been 13. Otherwise the number
next door would have corresponded with one of the
sums of the factors above, and there would have been
no confusion. Thus, the two possible combinations
must be:
2x2x9 or 1x6x6.
When the head of the house said that the eldest
child was learning music, the latter combination had
to be excluded because there are two eldest. Thus
the ages of the children must be 2, 2 and 9.
Answer: He buys 31 pipes at 2s. ld. and 25 at
4s. id.
Answer: The buns cost id. each, so half a dozen
cost 3d., and a dozen half dozen cost 3 shillings.
PQRS + QRSP + RSPQ + SPQR = 1111 (P +
O + R + 5).
Therefore, P + 0 + R + S = 11 and the only numbers to fit are 5, 3, 2, 1.

THE PARTY
The garish light from the cellophane-encased light
bulb flickered as the otherwise bare bulb swayed in
the warm wind, shifting from the plastic chandelier
at one end of its swing to the brightly-coloured streamers strewn around the room at the other limit of its
trajectory. Solid sound pulsed in heavy waves from
an overworked speaker tacked to the wall, and the
thin dance-floor of straining plywood resonated with
it to the thump of aimless feet. He was cavorting on
the edge of the floor, following the ritual carelessly,
one arm draped loosely about the creased purple dress
of his girl, the other limp by his side.
Like the plastic chandelier, his interest in his
companion made only a token attempt to appear
real. Yet it was obvious, as his bloodshot eyes moved
from one thing to another, with equal lack of perception, that each occupied his attention only momentarily. But then his surroundings deserved little more
than transitory attention—gilt plastic door knobs, imitation leather upholstery, girls whose dresses displayed
only the most absurd, brainless and eye-catching turns
of fashion. In addition to these, there were all the
trappings of a party calculated to catch the eye, but
unable to hold attention for more than an instant because of their triteness - coloured streamers draped
"artistically" to form the "decor" - balloons, frills
and bows, crepe and tissue paper.
He was not unhappy, however, because his character
suited the cheap element in the tasteless decorations.
The short laughs that occasionally broke from his
thick lips faded soon because, like the flimsy dancefloor there was nothing behind them to give them
any backing. Silence followed laughter and depression
followed silence in rapid succession. Nothing in the
room could prevent his moods shifting as rapidly as
attention wandered. Shallow and trite was the appeal
of the decorations; shallow and trite were his interests. This explained his lack of interest in the girl
attempting now to drape herself over him; her appeal
had vanished as rapidly as her daring dress had
creased with the heat and exertion of her efforts to
attract him. His interest in the decorations hadgone
as quickly as the bunting frayed, and the music's
rhythmn washed over him as though he were a grain
of sand on an enormous beach; his swaying to and
fro was only physical lip-service.
What could there be at any party to interest him?
What could hold his interest for any length of time
other than a willing girl? Based purely upon momentary appeal, both his enjoyment and the chintzy decorations were doomed to rapid extinction. The cheap
streamers and his interests were as one - transitory,
worthless, thoughtless and hopeless.

TEAM CAPTAINS
Team captains are again reminded that they must

For the Sports Notice-Board, under the apropiate
age group.
For the Games Room, to be placed in the slot
in the Games Room door.
On Friday night, July 22, the rearranged Shore team
of Angyal, Selby and Jenkins debated against S.C.E.
G.G.S. Darlinghurst. Shore denied that "The world
has grown dishonest", using arguments on a higher,
more philosophical, plane than those of the government. Angyal attacked the government case before
presenting the definition and case of his own side.
The government presented examples of dishonesty past
and present, whereas the opposition tried to show
that man was still the same, with the same conscience
and potential for dishonesty. Thus dishonesty would
not have increased in the world. Selby continued
the development of this theme and refuted well the
government's arguments, scoring the higher mark for
the team. Jenkins, introducing humour into the debate, refuted the government's case on the grounds that
they had not shown a progression; but was not able to
prove, to the adjudicators' satisfaction, his own team's
case, because of lack of concrete examples. This
lack of example in Shore's case was responsible for
their losing by a narrow margin.
The second team, Wild, Joseph and Makai, affirmed
that "Environment is more important than heredity in
shaping character". They proved a forceful team
with witty vitality, and won by a large margin. The
third team, Churches, Booth and Ireland, denied that
"Progress is hindered by tradition" and also won by
a large margin. The fourths, Fraser, Wood and Goodsell, affirmed "That science has become a menance",
losing by a narrow margin.
SHOOTING
Excellent conditions prevailed throughout the shoot
and the twenty-six boys who shot found it relatively
easy after the difficult wind encountered in the previous weeks' shooting.
The club this year has shot at regular military grey
and orange targets; however, we have been using a
non-regulation twenty-four inch aiming mark and next
week a change over to the regulation twelve inch aiming mark will be made in a further step forward in the
preparation for the G.P.S. rifle matches.
Over the past term, several Old Boys have been
assisting in coaching and helping newer shooters. We
are grateful for the assistance of these ex-shooters and
they have helped considerably in relieving the burden
on the experienced shooters in the club, who now are
able to concentrate on their own performances.
The top scorers this week were: Cohen, R.B.C., 35
(possible), 32; Woodforth, I. J., Millyard, R. L., 33;
Kelly, R. W., Smith, M.B., 32.

CADET NOTES
On Tuesday, July 19, the Cadets held their annual
range and field day. A certain dampness early in the
morning aroused feelings of hope and fear, depending
on ones attitude to Cadets. however it was decided
to proceed, and after waiting in the rain for the buses
A and Support Companies set out for Long Bay.
The rain held off during the day, although it was
very cold and windy. In spite of these conditions,
the record shows that some boys qualified as marksmen, but does not show which of these had help from
others on neighbouring targets. Scores on the rifle
were out of twenty and the following had enough
shots on their targets to rate as marksmen: Cdt. Wilbur-Ham P. 20; Cpl.Cohen R. B. C. 18; Cdt. Simpson
A. N. 18; Cdt. Burnell J. S. 17; Cdt. Fletcher D. J. 17;
Cdt. Green J. B. 17; Cdt. Hyles D. H. W. 17. The
threatened rain came just after the time appointed for
embussing, showing an unaccustomed degree of organisation.
Meanwhile B Company had been dumped to fend
for themselves in Frenchs Forest, on the site of the
proposed Warringah Grammar School. The day was
passed practising field-craft, culminating in a contact
course. This gave practice in working as a platoon,
which is impossible to practice at school with the
limited space. The course followed two creeks, and
despite a noticeable reluctance to lie down in the
water when contact was made, two more enthusiastic
cadets came home saturated.
The day concluded with an Officers' Mess held in
the Prep. Assembly Hall. Several guests were invited
and everyone had an enjoyable evening.
The value of the day was enhanced by the fact that
last year it was cancelled because of rain, and only a
handful of members of the Unit had ever fired on the
open range.

THE WRECK
How like a crushed cicada's shell it stands,
S:ill holding to its metal tree,
And like the locust that has left its shell
The occupants have also been set free.
Small silvery diamonds lie about the street,
And bits of shiny metal bent and torn.
The cars are re-directed round the scene,
And callously another path is worn.

A RAINY DAY
Who gave a certain member of the 2nd XV a clip
on the ear?
Scurrying, blackening sky,
The rain falls - no wait.
Dimpling, spattering drops,
Form ponds, form streams, make mud.
What subtle hint does the used (but still sharp) razor
blade found in the Record Box carry? Is this what
is known as two-edged wit?
Bustling, hustling crowds,
They dash across the streets,
Splash along, haste along, race,
Hurrying, out of the wet.

ATC RANGE DAY
Despite the adverse weather conditions the ATC's
annual range day this year was a distinct improvement
on last year's field day. Undaunted by hail, wind and
rain, a flight of ninety-five cadets set out for the
range at 0845 hours weighted down with great-coats
and light reading matter. Two reservist Air Force
officers assisted in training the new cadets and Sargeant
Aitken was in charge of the butts.
Long Bay was the same as ever, cold and windy,
although the rain had settled the sandy soil, thus
making shooting easier. The day was free of injury
either to body or soul. Cadets fired seventeen rounds
each; five application and ten snap. The best scores
recorded were LAC Campbell R. G., 62; CUO Kelly
R. W. 59; LAC Townsend R. W., 57. The flight left
under shelter of buses at 1530 hours, after a bleak
though interesting venture.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
1st XV v. N.C.
From the kickoff, Newington was awarded a penalty.
The kick was unsuccessful. However, within three
minutes Newington was awarded another penalty in
the Shore half. A quick tap kick caught Shore unawares. It was kicked high and deep into the corner.
The Newington winger gathered in the bouncing ball,
brushed off two tackles and scored in the corner. The
try was not converted. Newington 3 - Shore 0.
This seemed to inject some fire and determination into
the Shore team, which swept upfield from the kickoff.
The forwards began to win the ball cleanly from rucks
and line outs and provided the backs with good ball.
The Newington defence smothered several movements
in a row. 'then Roberts joined the backline from the
blind wing and broke through. He was brought down
about twenty yards from ttie Newington line. From
the ensuing serum, Shore won possession; Lee kicked
an angled kick over the Newington backs standing
up flat, and Roberts, scooping up the ball, dived across
to score in the corner. The try was not converted.
Newington 3 - Shore 3.
Newington, neglecting its backs, tried to bustle
the Shore pack and dominate play. The ball was
thrown to the back of the lineout where the breakaway
caught it, ran wide and then turned the ball back in
to the forwards following up. This resulted in a
period of very loose play during which a Newington
back broke away and raced for the line. However,
Maitby, on the point of tackling him, was shepherded
by a Newington forward. The try was disallowed and
Shore was awarded a penalty. A long kick by Lee
relieved the pressure.
Shore was awarded a penalty on the 25, to the right
of the posts. Cadwallader kicked the goal and Shore
went to the lead 6-3. Shortly afterwards, Newington
was awarded a penalty right in front, about 30 yards
out. The kick was successful; Shore 6 - Newington
6. Shore took play back into the Newington half. Following some torrid play close to the Newington line,
Shore was awarded a penalty which Cadwallader kicked; Shore 9 - Newington 6. Half-time followed immediately.
Play began again with Newington still trying to
disrupt the Shore pack. The backs were moving up
very quickly in defence and smothering Shore's attacks.
These crowding tactics were successful in stopping the
backs' trick movements. Lee was forced to kick in an
attempt to force them back.
There followed a period of about ten minutes in
which Newington was awarded four penalties midway between the 25 and half-way line. Only on the
fourth kick was the Newington kicker successful;
Shore 9 - Newington 9.
The Newington forwards were now winning more
of the ball and gave it to their backs for the first time
in the game. Movement after movement was stopped
by determined tackling. Roberts snapped up the ball,
rolling loose from a tackle on the Shore 25, and
sprinted past two or three hands clutching vainly.
He raced 50 yards down the sideline, cut back through
the remnants of the cover defence, and scored between
the posts. It was a splendid try that had the large
crowd roaring. Cadwallader converted the try; Shore
14 - Newington 9.
Newington stormed back into Shore's half and then
Friday, July, 29, 1966
proceeded to switch the play from one side of the field
to the other in a last desperate bid, it proved successful. Most of the Shore players were caught on one
side whilst the ball was passed quickly to the other side.
The full-back joined in and sent the winger over right
in the corner. Shore 14 - Newington 12. 1he
Newington kicker missed the conversion, the full-time
whistle blew and Shore had won an exciting game
14- 12.
Beforehand, in a most exciting match the 2nd XV
defeated Newington, the competition leaders, 3-0.
Although the three points came from a penalty goal
by Welch, the Shore team deserved its victory, having
territorial advantage for the majority of the game.
Newington were unbeaten in the competition prior
to this game.

U1OA's: First match 9.30.
In spite of some of the more senior shooters being
away at the A.T.C. shooting competition, enough
coaches were collected to hold the shoot. Many football games were held in the morning, leading to a
smaller number of shooters. As a result, several boys
shot three times.
Targets with a twelve-inch aiming mark were used
instead of the twenty-four inch ones that have been
used so far this season. This, combined with overcast
conditions, made a big difference to boys who have
only been shooting this year. A nine o'clock wind
which varied greatly in strength was added to this,
and caused many to score in the low twenties. The
top scores this week were (out of 35): I. J. Woodforth
34, 32; L. D. Bathgate 33, 32; J. S. Maslin 32.

DEBATING
THE
ShORE WEEKLY RECORD
is published by and for the boys of
Sydney Church of England Grammar School
Editor: R. S. ANGYAL
As. Ed.: G. C. WOODROW
Secretary: J. F. BOULTBEE
THE B.W.E.
He wanders alone, hands in pockets, head down,
towards the House. The third formers run past him
and leap up the steps, three or four at a time; the
sixth formers remain behind in a group outside the
Dining Hall to "gossip". The group chuckles as he
passes through the glass doors.
He flops lazily onto a bench in the building-enclosed
quadrangle, rolls up his shirt-sleeves and bares his
arms to the sun. The cuffs are like cardboard and
the rest of his shirt has been rendered brittle by the
school laundry. He amuses himself for a moment by
opening out his pocket, which has been stuck to his
shirt by an excess of starch. Picking up the sports'
section of the Sunday paper, lie reclines back as much
as is possible on the hard, uncomfortably-shaped bench
and continues haif-heartedly to read the paper.
Being the well-ordered person he is, he had decided
to give himself an hour's rest, and then to work for
two, or perhaps, if his work seems to be going well,
three hours. The other unfortunates on the bench
have now departed, so he stretches himself full-length
along it, dropping the paper on the ground. Shielding
his eyes from the sun, he listens to the strange intermingling of sounds - conversations and T.V. floating
from the matron's room, shouts from boys playing
"tip", slamming of doors. Occasionally he is disturbed by someone walking across the quad and making
some smart remark about his sprawling on the bench.
Suddenly, all is quiet - he hears the twitter of a
solitary bird somewhere and the hum of traffic across
the bridge and into the city. That is where he wishes
he could be - among the people in the city. But, of
course, there would not be much activity on a Sunday
- how he dreads Sundays, especially this one. He
gets up and walks through the arch to the noticeboard.
He spends five minutes there, not really reading anything. He turns round, folds his arms and watches
the game of tip for a while, wondering how they can
go on playing it after eight solid weeks of football.
He is sick of school, he is sick of his featureless existence he is bored stiff but is too lazy to do anything about it.
The thought of his work looms up in his mind again,
and, making a rash move, he heads towards the house
to begin it. He perseveres for half an hour but then
decides that he is not in an essay-writing mood, and
hits upon an alternative to sleep the rest of the afternoon. Maybe he will work later.
After his sleep, he showers and goes to tea, and
then watches T.V. Within an hour, the house is again
full of life and activity. He is happy again - for a
while.
J.F.B. LVIB
In the final competition debate for the year within
its division, the Shore First team defeated Sydney High
School by one mark. In view of the fact that the
debate was marked out of a total possible of 350 for
each team, the margin was indeed narrow, but never theless decisive. For as the adjudicator pointed out,
the victory goes to the team that is the more effective
as a team, not as three individual speakers. In fact,
the High third speaker gained the best mark of the
evening, but his leader was heavily penalised for leaving loopholes in his definition of the topic, thus enabling the Shore team to creep in "under the door".
The untried combination of Selby, Angyal and
Makai opposed the contention "that a little bit of
what you fancy does you good"; concentrating on
ultimate results, they were soon at odds with the government who believed momentary pleasure to be the
"good" in question. Selby as leader spoke vigorously
in introduction and reply; he introduced the arguments of his team very well and made certain that
it would present a team effort. Angyal developed the
team's theme that ultimate bad undoes momentary
good, and Makai, in his first competition debate, rebutted soundly with very effective use of gesture.
In awarding the debate to Shore the adjudicator
brought our result for the competition to two debates
won to one lost; S.I.C. beat us and we defeated S.J.C.
and S.H.S.
On the same night, the Second team of Wild, Joseph,
and Ireland, maintaining the proposition "that the
world would have been better without petroleum",
drew with a Sydney High team. Mr. Jones, a former
member of the staff, is to be thanked for a learned
and helpful adjudication.
In the first round of the Eisteddfod Debating Competition, Shore's "C" team of Koppstein, Churches and
Booth lost by one mark to North Sydney Girls High
School's "C" team, opposing the motion "that examinations are a fair test of merit".
The G.P.S. competition was an enjoyable and always interesting, sometimes humorous, affair and
Riverview, who took the honours, are to be congratulated on their success.
A.T.C. SHOOTING
Last Saturday the inter-flight shooting competition
was held at Long Bay. Seventeen flights from all over
New South Wales competed and despite unfavourable
conditions the overall scores were fairly good.
The shooting premiership is the most-sought-after
honour in inter-flight competition and the Shore Flight
has won the shield more times than any other flight.
Even when it has not won, it has finished well up
with the leaders every year.
The competition consisted of 5 rounds application
and 10 rounds rapid-fire in the morning and a snap
shoot in the after-noon. At the end of the morning
the Shore Flight was trailing two points owing to a
jamming in Campbell's rifle, enabling him to get only
2 out of the 10 shots away.
After the snap-shoot however, despite a fine effort
by Campbell, the Homebush Boys' High School Flight
emerged the winners, with Shore second.

Did the captain of the UI513's have a wedding in

sent in his football result on what could only be described as a piece of confetti.

Did you know? Some interesting and highly useless
figures:
The weight of the sun in grams is 1.9 x 10.
The number of letters in the Bible is 3,560,480.
The area of the earth's surface is 5.1 x 10° square
millimeters.
CIRCULAR QUAY
Oh if Phillip could only see
What has happened to Circular Quay.
He saw a tangle of rushes and reeds
Backed by a forest of bushes and trees
Rugged rocks, a flowing stream
Clear green water, all a-gleam
Then, there was silence, the land was still
This beauteous land of the Aboriginal.
Now serenity long has gone
Progress's structures around us throng.
Humanity's thousands making din
Where would Phillip have fitted in?
For all has changed except the sky
Watching o'er with smoggy eye.

PROBLEM CORNER
Find the sum of all possible numbers of three digits.
In a knockout tennis tournament 581 players entered. How many matches are required for the
whole tournament?
Suppose you are given a piece of thin paper that
weighs 10 grams and are asked to fold it so you
can cut it into equal halves, then take a half and
fold it again and cut it into equal halves. How
many times would you have to continue this process to get down to one theoretical electron (9 x
10_2 7 gram)?
In a club debate at Elmville neither faction would
give in, and a number of members left. Collins
remarked to his friend Johnson, "I am disgusted;
I have a strong desire to leave also." To this
Johnson replied, "Well, if you and I go, two-fifths
of the members will be absent." "This is correct,"
replied Collins, "but if Jones, Smith and Brown
would have stayed, we would have had two-thirds
of the membership present and this would have
given us enough people exactly to make the proceedings possible."
How many members were there at the opening
of the meeting, and how many left?
WHO?
Have you heard of Kafka? Four boys in the Lower
Sixth German set could only answer this question in
the negative and as the same four students will be
studying this "famous" Germanic novelist next year,
they attended a lecture on Thursday, July 28, at the
University of New South Wales. The topic of the
lecture was "Kafka and Dickens" and it was delivered
by Professor Pascal of Birmingham University, who is
at present on a lecture tour of Australia.
Professor Pascal began by stating that the relationship between Kafka and Dickens appeared at first to
be one of contrast. However, it was mainly Kafka's
later and better known novels such as "The Trial" and
"The Castle" which are not greatly related to Dickens;
but his first novel "America", resembles Dickens aproach in many ways. This assertion was supported
by the drawing of examples, mainly from "David Copperfield", and showing that the hero's suitcase and
umbrella in "America" serve the same purpose as
Copperfield's lost box.
The styles of the two writers were then compared.
Kafka's main characters are always tangled in a network of confusion to such an extent that the situation
is frustratingly chaotic. On the other hand, Dickens
tries to represent life as it actually appears, but he takes
certain characters and "qrotesquely intensifies" them.
Once again the argument was illustrated by copious
examples.
The evening was a stimulating and educational one;
as a result of it, there should be four fewer puzzled
frowns if and when Kafka is again mentioned.

DAWN OVER DA-NANG
The rice-paddies meet the sun
Tinged with pink and yellow;
A rooster crows on the battlefields
To the squadrons' endless drone.
The Vietcong meet it too
For a raid hit and run
Their voices are oddly muffled And their rifles feel like lead.
The monkeys in the treetops screech
And parrots cry aghast,
While dawn comes down like thunder
On the rooftops of Da-Nang.
For some this day will never end,
For some it comes too soon Men must fight and blood must run
To meet the setting of the sun.

SHORE WEEKLY RECORD
THE
ShORE WEEKLY RECOUP
is published by and for the boys of
Sydney Church of England Grammar School
Editor: R. S. ANGYAL
As. Ed.: G. C. WOODROW
Secretary: J. F. BOULTBEE
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
I think it would be a good idea to put some
shrubs or small trees on the lower level next to the
rifle range. Nothing yet is being grown there, and
some plants would make an attractive scene. Also,
on days when boys are shooting, the red flag is not
able to be seen because of a bush. This could be
dangerous! Yours sincerely,
S.D.McC. Prep. R.A.
The above-mentioned bush has since been pruned;
but the first point remains valid - Ed.
1st XV V. S.I.C.
Shortly after the start of play, Shore was awarded
a penalty on Riverview's 25. Cadwallader kicked the
penalty goal and for the •first time this season Shore
was the first team to score. From the kick off, Shore
forged back into Riverview's half. Riverview won a
serum on the 25 and the ball was passed to the fullback, who kicked for touch. Woodhouse took the
ball just inside the touchline on the halfway then ran
towards the open side. He passed to Green, who
straightened up and cut through the forwards covering across the field. He drew the fullback and passed
back inside to Pogson, who ran twenty yards to score.
Cadwallader converted the try; Shore 8 - Riverview 0.
Having started in an aggressive mood, Shore then
proceeded to make a series of fundamental mistakes
which took the pressure off Riverview. Riverview
was awarded a penalty on the Shore 25, which was
successfully kicked; Shore 8 Riverview 3. Follow ing the kick off, the Riverview five-eighth kicked the
ball deep into the Shore 25. From the ensuing lineout, a Riverview forward dived across to make the
score; Shore 8 - Riverview 6. The kick was not
successful. Almost immediately Riverview stormed
backed into Shore's half, where it was awarded a
penalty which was kicked; Riverview 9 - Shore 8.
Both teams had not settled down properly as yet, and
the game continued to be marred by penalties. Shore
was awarded one from a late tackle, which Cadwallader
kicked to put Shore in the lead 11-9. Shortly afterwards Riverview was awarded another, which also
was kicked; Riverview 12 - Shore 11. Shore won
a serum on the halfway and Lee put a skilfull kick
over the heads of the Riverview backs. Roberts flashed through, caught the ball on the full, beat the fullback with a swerve and change of pace, and ran 50
yards to score; Shore 14— Riverview 12. Cadwallader kicked a good conversion; Shore 16 - Riverview
12. The half-time whistle then blew.
Friday, August 12, 1966
Apart from the opening stages of the game and the
last few minutes of the half, play had not settled down
or flowed, tending to be disrupted by the large number of penalties.
Shore began the second half in a more aggressive
fashion. The forwards bustled Riverview and the ball
went loose on the ground quite often. On one such
occasion, Lee toed the ball through and dribbled it
towards the line. Cadwallader following him up, dived
on the ball over the line to score; Shore 19 - Riverview 12. He was so excited about scoring that he
missed a simple kick.
Shore continued to attack. On several occasions
Chapman broke away from the end of the lineout and
ran 50 yards before being stopped. Hardy snapped
up a loose ball and showed surprising speed, to run
half the length of the field before being tackled just
short of the line. From a lineout on the Riverview 25,
Roberts joined the backline outside Lee, and crashed
through several tackles to score beneath the posts.
Cadwallader converted the try; Shore 24 - Riverview
12. The score remained unchanged until full time.
Thus, the season came to an end with a decisive
win. The first fifteen thanks the school for its enthusiastic support throughout the season.
P.C.G. LVIA.
FOOTBALL COMMENT
After a shaky start to the season in which they lost
the first three competition matches, the 1st XV settled
into a winning combination and did not lose another
match. This is no mean achievement, and earned
them third place in the competition behind Sydney
Grammar and St. Joseph's. The team showed untiring
enthusiasm. Although a lighter pack than usual, the
forwards provided the well-disciplined back-line with
much of the ball, and this led to many successful
attacking movements. The team is to be congratulated
on its performances, and for providing the Shore supporters with many exciting afternoons of clean, hard
and determined football.
During the season the 2nd XV had mixed fortunes.
They lost the first four competition matches, then
fought back to beat T.A.S. and Scots convincingly.
In a close match they defeated the previously unbeaten
Newington team 3-0. Newington went on to become
premiers of the second grade competition, Shore finishing fourth equal.
SHOOTING
For the first time this season the shoot was held
over 500 yards and the increase in range added to the
difficulties. Although the scores were lower than
usual, this was expected, and the next shoot at this
range should see a noticeable improvement.
With the end of the football season, it is hoped that
boys who have not yet shot at Hornsby will now press
their claims for camp selection.
The top scores last week were: R. B. C. Cohen 34,
33: A. G. H. Morris 32; L. D. Bathgate, R. G. Campbell, D. J. Fletcher 31.

only a limited number can appear in each edition.
Those which are considered worthy of publication, but

We thank all those who have contributed, and hope
that their response in providing interesting and expressive articles will continue.
INQUISITION
"Riding 'cross the plain at night,
In deep, dark shadow.
With blackened face and darkhued clothes Man, where are you bound?"
"1 know not where, inquisitor;
I cannot.
All that I know, is I must ride
To the dark horizon."
"But why, dark rider, tell me truly,
Why shake your hands?
Your hands are white, and seem like
Reeds, blown in the wind.
And why, oh horseman, does your voice
so quiver?
And your bloody lips frame a tortured
mouth - of broken, twisted teeth?"
"Silence man - no more question,
I questioned too: and see me now.
I doubted what my comrades held,
And now I'm forced to live a life
Of solitude.
fve left the ways of men forever Riding on, on through my life
To find Valhalla."

SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEM CORNER
6/8/66
To solve this problem we need simply to find the
sum of the natural numbers from 100 to 999 inclusive. There are 900 such numbers and their
sum is 1- (100 + 999) x 900 = 450 x 1099 =
494,550. Alternatively, using the formula for the
sum of an arithmetic sequence Sn = n/2 [2a +
(n - 1) d] where n is the number of terms, a the
first team and d the arithmetic difference, i.e. Sn
= 450 [200 + 8991 = 494,550..
By testing with small numbers, it will be seen that
for n players, (n
1) matches are required. So
for 581 players, 580 matches are required.
Since 101 is approximately equal to 21, we can
replace 10_27 by (10 1 or by (2 111
Likewise 9
is approximately equal to 21. Thus 9 x 1027 can
can be replaced by 2 x 2 13 = 2_ 17 Thus we would
have to perform this operation of folding into
halves only eighty-seven times to get down to one
electron.
Suppose that x members left the meeting. Then
5/2. (x + 2) = 3 (x
3).
Thus 28 members left the meeting and there were
75 members in the club.

TENNIS
Shore I and Scots 1 met on Saturday morning,
August 6, in what was the final of the inter-school
competition. Each team had been undefeated in the
previous seven matches, and so all eagerly awaited

the two teams finished equal on sets and games. The
match being drawn, the two teams shared first place in
the competition, with 7 wins and I draw each.
The Shore II team received a forfeit from Knox II
in the last round, and emerged the competition winners
in their division, with an unbeaten record of 7 wins
and 1 forfeit.

GALA DAY AT BARKER
On Saturday, August 6, teams from seven preparatory schools played a knock-out competition in
three different grades. Over 300 boys enjoyed a splendidly organised meeting and provided football of an
encouragingly high standard.

reached the finals. The results were as follows:
1st XV: Round 1 v. St. Aloysius, won 5-3; Round
2 v. Grammar, won 8-3; Final v. Barker, lost 11-5.
Coils A: Round 1 v. St. Pius, lost 9-0; Round 2 v.

ENTHRONEMENT CEREMONY
The Enthronement of the Most Rev. Dr. M. L.
Loane, M.A., D.D., m.D., as Archbishop of Sydney
and Metropolitan of New South Wales.
Sixteen Shore boys formed part of the guard of
honour outside St. Andrew's Cathedral provided last
Saturday for His Grace's Enthronement Service. The
party was made up of members of the Chapel Council
and other selected volunteers from the senior part of
the School. Many of them had had an opportunity
to speak personally with His Grace at a rehearsal on
the previous afternoon, and the greeting they gave him
was by no means perfunctory.
The congregation inside the Cathedral was very
crowded (and restricted) with King as Senior Prefect
representing the boys of the school. However, the
members of the guard of honour were able to follow
the service on closed circuit T.V. in the Chapter House.
When the service was concluded some of the party
took photographs of the Archbishop and it is hoped
that these will be developed successfully and be available for the school to view later.
Boys may be interested to know that besides the
Archbishop's long association with the School as a
member of Council, parent and visiting preacher, the
name of His Grace's brother is listed in the school
Honour Roll. An Old Boy, he fell in the 1939-45
war.
One question the enthronement of an Australian as
Archbishop evokes is, "Are there boys in this School
so committed to the service of their Lord Jesus Christ,
that if they hear God's call to the Sacred Ministry
they would abandon all other prospects and say 'Yes'
to Jesus Christ unreservedly?"
A further question is, "Will boys still go on into
Christ's Ministry when they discover that it might
lead them ultimately to bear such burdens of leadership and responsibility as our new Archbishop is called
on to bear?"
The Enthronement of the Archbishop certainly does
not mean that the Church's future has been settled;
rather it places a choice before the Christian young
men of Australia such as has not been known before.
Always in the past there has been service under men
from other lands; a human shield while Australians
served God. Now the future will be determined by
those who take up a pilgrimage which Australian
Christians will have to tread alone. More gifts and
talents than ever before must be laid at the feet of
Christ, more skills learned, a more subtle self-discipline
embraced, and new tasks undertaken in His name.
It is in the nature of the case that the Christian
leaders of 2,000 A.D. are now making their basic life
commitment to Christian discipleship and sacrificial
service. It is the Christian young men of this generation who must face squarely just what Christ
sacrificed for them: to reckon realistically the dedication which real discipleship requires; if Christ's Kingdom in Australia is to be faithfully guided some thirty
years.
Archbishop Loane's episcopate will have to be rated
as a failure, if at the end of his time there is none to
keep treading in Christ's Pilgrim Way after him. This
School and this generation of this School, will have
to bear its share of blame for any such lack of leaders
in the days to come.
The big question is not "Who amongst us is going
to choose Christ's path?" Committal of the right sort
can never be made while we look around, be the
majesty of contemporary events ever so impressive.
The question is personal: "Shall I determine this day
to devote myself whole-heartedly to my Saviour, for
He gave His life for me. Am I willing to go anywhere,
do anything, for Him?"
The significance of the Enthronement is that our
Archbishop has given us a witness. He has committed
himself to Christ's Gospel - his text was (1 Cor. 9:16)
- "Necessity is laid upon me: woe to me if I preach
not the gospel."
The issue is, "Who else is willing to let Christ lay
this necessity upon him, be he man or boy?" Unhappy will he be who hears God's call and who refuses
to respond to it.

SHOOTING
Despite the fact that the season ends shortly there
were a number of new shooters at Hornsby last Saturday. Competition for places at camp is keen, and
some good scores were recorded.
The range was again 500 yards and the favourable
conditions continued, the only adverse factor being a
slight cross wind.
The top scores this week were: R. B. C. Cohen 33,
32; R. W. Townsend 32; R. G. Campbell 33, 32; J. S.
Maslin 31; A. G. H. Morris 31; A. 0. Atkins 31.
CHESS CLUB
In division 2, the Shore 1St team finished undefeated,
winning 6 and drawing one match. The positions,
however, are decided on the number of individual
games won (5 games per match) and so North Sydney
High, with 25 points out of 35, won the competition
with Shore half a point behind, although Shore had a
convincing four games to one victory over North Sydney. Grammar I secured next position, with Shore II
performing creditably.
The top individual scores were: G. Burgess SAl, 6
out of 7; P. Trebeck VA1, 51- out of 7; J. Bellingham
SAl, 5 out of 6 and D. Penman SAl (second team),
5 out of 7.
SCIENCE COMPETITION
Selby, D. G. (IVAI) and Robertson, I. J. S. (IVA2)
have won the Hardman Chemicals Prize in the Junior
Section of the "Science Awards" competition sponsored annually by the New South Wales Science Teachers' Association. Their prize was for a paper on Automatic Signalling and Switchgear.
MR. J. S. COCKLE
The death occurred recently of Mr. J. S. Cockle,
an Old Boy of this School, attending it from 1922-25.
His funeral service was held at St. Clement's Church,
Mosman.
Mr. Cockle had represented the electorate of Warringah in the Federal Parliament since 1961, and
representatives of the Federal and State Parliaments,
Mosman, North Sydney, Manly and Warringah Shire
Councils attended the service. In a personal tribute
later, the Mayor of Mosman pointed out that Mr.
Cockle had done much for the welfare and progress
of the Mosman area, and would be remembered for the
sincere and dedicated way in which he had carried
out his parliamentary duties.
His son, J. S. Cockle was at Shore from 1952-57,
and whilst at School had an outstanding career as a
sportsman.
Friday, August 19, 1966
BRIGADIER T. A. J. PLAYFAIR
Brigadier T. A. J. Playfair, whose death occurred
last week, was one of Shore's most distinguished sons.
He entered the School, No. 821 on the school roll, in
1903 and was a boarder in School House. He left in
1906, having won his Colours for football and having
played in the 1st Xl. On leaving school he entered
his father's business and began a career that extended
far beyond the business world in which he was so
successful. Sportsman, soldier, administrator - he
succeeded in all he did. Unassuming, modest, he devoted himself unselfishly to others and to the service
of the community in whose life he was to play so
distinguished a part. Of his service and achievement
outside the world of Shore much has been said and
written in the last few days and needs no repetition
here.
Perhaps nowhere have his praises been sung with
more heartfelt sincerity than in the Legislative Council.
As a soldier he distinguished himself in two wars; as
a member of the Meat Board his contribution to the
meat industry was beyond that of a merely successful
company director.
It is to his great contribution to the development of
Shore school in the first half of the 20th century that
honour is to be paid here. He joined the Council in
October, 1928, and was Chairman from March, 1945
to March, 1952 when ill health compelled him to
retire from it. The years of his chairmanship were
troubled and difficult years after the War, when in the
national emergency the School's material development
had had to pause. Many of us, at School in those
years as boys or Masters, have good reason to remember his firm and devoted guidance and the development that was to accelerate its pace in the 1950's was
on the solid foundation of security which he laid.
His three sons were at School and the youngest of
them became its Senior Prefect. There is now, in the
Prep., his youngest grandson. Through them his ties
to the School became even stronger and it was a mark
of the bond between Playfair and Shore that the
Headmaster should have been asked to read the School
Lesson at his Funeral.
To pay adequate tribute to such a man is impossible.
Those who knew him best and closest are best able to
speak of him and the Council at its meeting on March
6, 1952, placed in its records the appreciation of those
who had worked with him for the advancement of the
School. Their words are the best tribute to a colleague
and friend and to a benefactor of Shore School.
"The Council had looked forward keenly to welcoming Brigadier Playfair back to their ranks, but
learnt with deep regret that, on medical advice, he
found it necessary to forward his resignation. They
now place on record their sense of their high value of
his services to the School since he became a member
of the Council in October, 1928. His experience of
public and business affairs, his clear judgement and his
ability to carry through those matters in which he interested himself have enabled him to be a powerful force
in the government of the School; and the association
with the School of his high public spirit and personal
integrity has been an honour to it."

his sister; two years ago he was four times as old,
and now he is one and a half times as old. How
old are he and his sister?
If ten hen-pens cost ten and tenpence and ten
hens and one hen-pen cost ten and tenpence how
much do ten hens without any hen-pens cost?

GENERAL PAPER
shirt anywhere or one that needs less
On Friday, August 12, the Lower Sixth Form saw
a Qantas film on the art of Russell Drysdale. The
film traced his life by his paintings and showed clearly
his distinctive style - gaunt, attenuated people and
objects conveying the bitterly hard life of the outback.
In the next period Professor J. Wood, of the University of New South Wales, spoke on the policy his
university follows of compelling students to do subjects
not related to their specialities. He did much to dispel
fears boys might have had that the work in their
main subjects would be hindered by having to do these
General Studies subjects. Only six per cent of the
lecture time is taken up by these subjects and as the
courses are specially prepared for students whose main
interest lies in other fields, and there is a wide variety
of subjects, it has been found that this does not lower
the standard in the major subjects. In addition, the
pass rate is considerably higher than in other types of
subjects, and this means that few are inconvenienced
by failing a subject they have no interest in. Rather,
these extra subjects have been found by students to
provide relaxation while studying their main subjects.
