1968, must go down as a fateful month in th e history of the
M ARCH,
Australian Province of the Society of Jesus, for it was th en that a h alt
was called to th e n egotiation s which for tvvo years previou sly h ad sought to
ensure the survival of Saint Patrick's as a Jesuit College. It was then th at the
Society vvas told that th e Archdiocese had fin ally decided it n eeded an d intended
to resume the property.
The decision of the closure, and th e directive by Father General in Rome
to accept it, ended for u s a biennium of discussion, anxiety and unpreceden ted
community unanimity. It wro te fini s to 103 years of endeavour, to a tall y of
religious and pries tl y vocations unparall eled by any oth er Jesuit sch ool and
probably not by any other school of comparable size, an d to the recent run of
outstanding examination successes, all of which are detail ed more fully in
these pages. By sheer good fortun e - or that Providence which repairs whatever man destroys - it was found th at the new buildin gs at Xavier would accommodate most of the displaced P atricians, th e others findin g th eir wa y to
Catholic schools of their second choice and to th e State schools .
In the diaspora the community has been dispersed as follows : To Xavier,
Father J. Drury ( part-time) and Father J. M uirhead, to Burke H all, Father T.
Lake-Smith, to Loyola Retreat Hou se, Father G. Jon es, to studies at Campion
College, Rev. P . H awkins, and to retirement at Campion al£O, Father W.
Moloney. Other States ha ve gained Fathers B. Hudspeth and N. Ol sen ( St.
Louis, W.A.), Fathers E. Bartels, W. Brown and M. Pietzsch ( Athelston e,
S.A.), and Rev. D. Quinn ( Riverview, N.S.W. ).
The Editor's desire to ha ve n o PatTieian, due to our presen t peculiar circumstances, succumbed to the invincible diplomacy of our many kind friends in
the Ladies' Auxiliary. Time and the circumstances h ave made it impossible to
attempt a review of recent school history, for this number must be circulated and
finalized before vacating these premises. H ence the magazine is a little slimmer
than in recent years and th e omission of the Old C ol1egians' personal jottin gs
has been un avoidable.
We wish to specially than k the loyal band of friend s who, as advertisers,
have largely finan ced all previous issues. Th anks also to Fathers D . O 'Connor
and H . Wilkins for allowing reprints from the jVlessengel- and Madonna respectively, to the members of this community wh o ha ve been invalu able as

7HE DEATH OF A SCHOOL
-Abridged from the "Messenger of the Sacred Heart"
August, 1968
Even in these days when there is so little respect
for human life, there is always something especially
poignant about a planned death; w hether it is the
merited execution of a criminal or the skilfully
arranged assassination of a public figure.
Only a few months ago in Sydney the ex-students
of the Marist Brothers' High School in Darlinghurst were sh ocked to find that their school was to
be closed - the beloved "Darlo," which was the
fostering mother of so many genera tions of boys,
was to be no more.
Within recent ~veeks a sad letter was mailed to
many people in Melbourne advising them of the
imminent death of St. Patrick's College. It came
between the clouded news of the tragic assassin ations of Martin Luther King and of Senator Robert
Kennedy. Surely many of those who read the
letter signed by the Archbishop of Melbourne and
the Provincial of the Jesuits must have felt that
they too were witnessing a like tragedy in their
O\i\TJ.l lives.
It was the notice of the death of something which for them h ad long made the affectionate claim of a loved friend; even of a mother.
A SCHOOL HAS A DISTINCTIVE
CHARACTER
A school, more than most human groups, seems
to assume a personality of its own. It can be hated
or loved as only a living human person can be
hated or loved.
The sentiment surroundi na schools is of a sh'anoe
"
I
b
b
ongm. t is not universal. In some coun tries it
does n ot seem to exist at all. It is stronaest amona
the English-speaking nations and especi~lly among
the English themselves. It never seems to attach
in any degree to a state sch ool. Nor is there any
love spent on a private school which never promises
a future beyond the life of its owners . If the 1930
matriculation class of Miss Muaaerbustle's
Academ)T
00
ever meet, it is at the races or some res taurant.
There is for them no school. They are "a class
apart."
It is the corporate school with a continuing life
of its own embodied, incorporate, in its members,
which seems to endear itself to its generations of
pupils. This is strongest in the church schools
and perhaps strongest of all in the catholic schools
which have the continuing personality of some
loved body of religious who, more than any other
teachers, seem to give replacement to those ""ho
have gone before.
OLD COLLEGIANS ' INTEREST
Ex-student unions are one of the commonplaces of
our catholic life and a real force to be reckoned with
in measuring the strength of a school. Large schools,
long established, can assemble a formidable body
of loyal supporters, frequently inHuentially placed.
\iVhen they rally to the support of their school,
whether it is to raise finance or protect it against
some attack, neither school staff nor wary politician
will un derestimate their force.
They carryon the corporate spirit of the school
and in some indefinable way often support the
weakening faith or curb the wayward conduct of
their members. They also acquire a certain responsibility to speak for the school, even against the
present administration. It is a certain possessiveness
as of a grown-up son 'whose love for his Alma
lVlater is shown in a concerned interest for its
welfare .
It also often happens that they wax sentimental.
They are orphaned indeed.
A DE.4 TH WITHOUT HOPE
\i\1hen a man's mother dies, there dies with her
something of his own life: his childhood memories,
sometimes shared 'with h er alone; the ear and voice
of one with whom the past is brought to life and
shared. But even when she dies the christian son
lives in the eA'}Jectancy of renewed life together
and th e constant knowledge that she is not dead
but only hidden for a time.
At lVlessenaer House, too, we felt sad. It was in
a tiny, cupb~ardlike room of St. Patrick's College
that the Messenger was mangered in 1887, and it
was within the close of St. Patrick's Cathedral that
it carried on its apostolate for some 70 years. There,
Father \;Vatson, assisted by Brother Acheson, steered
the Messenger through its first years and well into
manhood's estate.
There his successor, Father Eustace Boylan,
assisted first by Brother Duffy and then Brother
Vincent Johnson, carried the banner for many
ye1rs to come.
Each of these men occupied the Editor's Chair
for more than 30 ye1rs.
"NOTICE TO QUIT"
The Lansdowne St . building built for the "Messenger"
but taken over by St. Patrick's for classrooms in 1955 .
But when his Alma lVhter is suddenly swept out
of lif~ he is orphaned indeed. He must feel son~e­
thing of the infinite void of "the other people who
113.ve no hope" (I Thessalonians 4: 13 ) and, like
Miss Muggerbustle's girls, "a class apart."
This is the feeling which must h 'lve come to
the hearts of those Old Patricians who re1d the
cold message .
"Due to the rapid expansion of the archdiocese
of Melbourne, the need has become increasingly
apparent, ~nd indeed urgent,. to establish a Catholic
Services Centre which would bring together the
various organizations (education, educational research, catholic welfare, finances, administration,
etc .). both clerical and lay, which serve the catholic
people of Melbourne.
"The present dispersal of these organizations
makes it impossible to maintain the high rate of
efficiency demanded in the present age. Even with
the present and undesirable dispersal, the facilities
of St . Patrick 's Cathedral have become increasingly
inadequate and it has been found necessary to
redevelop the whole site in conformity with the
recommend~tion of the ~econd Vatican Council that
"the diocesan curia should be so organized that it
is ~n appropriate instrument for the bishop, not
only for administering the diocese but also for
carrying out the works of the apostolate."
Poor Vatican II!
8
It gets blamed for so much.
Father Boylan began his editorship by building
large new offices which were the Messenger headquarters for some 40 years. It was a good enough
office for the times and spacious. But possessions
are a curse. The covetous eyes of St. Patrick's
College fell too often with unguarded squints on
these precious rooms. Soon the desire for possessions grew and grew until the Messenger found
itself under a "Notice to Quit," and so we broke
our long association with St. Patrick's and came
to our present, more spacious, offices.
But, while the eyes of St. Patrick's College staff
were looking with covetous design on the offices
of the Messenger, they did not realize that they
too in turn were being observed. From the cathedral chancery, where the members of the cathedral
staff looked out from behind windows strongly
barred and grilled to protect them against "the
slings and arrows" of St. Patrick's boys, coveting
glances rested on the grounds and buildings of St.
Patrick's College.
Well, we know from scripture and the experience
of life what happens when this sort of thing goes
on too long.
EARLY HISTORY
St. Patrick's College was one of the original four
"Public Schools" of Victoria. (It l as the old est
catholic school and the second oldest public school
in the state). It began with a government land
grant and sustained with £,10,000 of public money
the college opened in 1854. Its early years tell a
story of mudclle and mismanagement. It closed in
disorganization, re-opened and closed again, and in
one way or another had a very troubled childhood .
Eventually the Irish Jesuit Fathers were asked to
come and take charge of the college and the first
of them arrived in 1865. This was the beginning
of the present foundation of the Jesuit Order in
Australia (though an earlier foundation by Austrian
Jesuits had been carrying on from 1848 and eventually merged into the Irish Jesuit Mission ) .
These nrst Irish Jes uits who came to AustraJi1
were men who would rank high in scholarship
and as personalities b y any standards in any age.
It is n ot surprising th,lt the reformed St. Patrick's
College began to achieve a notable distinction in
the city of Melbourne. When th e Duke of Ed inburgh arrived in 1867, an Ode of Welcome, composed by the rector, was read by on e of the students
in the Exhibition Building as part of the Publi c
Schools Welcome, and "the vast concourse of 5,000
rose to its fee t in tumultuous applause". Its earliest
examination results showed a proud list of nrst
places, gold medals and exhibitions. And when
the University of Melbourne reached the stage of
conferring its highest degree - D octor of Laws there were three Old Patricians among the first
four LL.D .'s awarded. That this was not just a
Hash in the pan is evident from the results of last
year's public examination results .
Commonwealth secondary scholarships are awarded
to approximately 10% of all candidates sitting for the
examinations . St. Patrick's candidates secured a 31 0/0
succ·e ss rate.
In the external public examinations their successes
wereIntermediate
Leaving
Matriculation
97%
93 %
89%
This must be est im ated in relation to the averages
for all Victoria , which in the matriculation wa s 65 %.
Never a large sch ool, there "vas aJways a close
personal contact and friend ship between masters
and students. This was und oubtedly th e principal
fac tor in creating that high mor al standard of
Patricians which has always been acknovvledged
and commented on in the city of Melbourne. One
of the natural consequences of this was the large
number of priestly and religious voca tions from
among its students.
Obviously, it e}"'Plains also th e close sen timental
ties its ex-students ha ve with their Alma Mater.
Some of its masters, both Jesuit and La y Masters,
have h ad associations with th e school and active
engagement in it for over 50 ye:lIS. On e JeSUit still
in residence, Father Willi,llTI Moloney, has l::een a
member of the staff for more than half a cen tury .
So it was with sadness that many read the notice
that 51. Patrick 's College will close at the end of this
year . A chapter of Melbourne history and Australian
Catholic history is closing. It is particula r ly sad because 51. Patrick's has not withered away with old age
because of shortage of students or financ e . It is in
its greatest strength . It is not the result of a great
war or l1adonal catastrophe.
It dies not from the
stroke of a sword but the stroke of a pen.

Farewell
• • •
A me mo ir of Saint Patr ick's, republished
by cou rtesy of t he Ed itor of Mado n na .
T he closing down of St. P atrick's College, East
Melbourne, must not pass un noti ced in Madonn a
which was begun there and lived there for sixtyodd years. I am sorry to see it go, who wouldn't
be? - especially if (ap art from Madonna) you
spen t three golden years there as priest and Jesuit.
In the work of adaptation to modern times and at
a time when our numbers are decreasing, n ot increasing, I know that the Jesuits h ave to be prepared
to see their works restricted, even to see an en d
to all our high schools ( n ot to mention the primary
section of them ), but this, our oldest school in
A ustralia, I would have liked to see the last to go
not the fi rst. It h as a singular quality a bout it that
to my mind eXIJlains its remarka ble history in the
developmen t of the Melbourne church . T he quality
illustra tes a further point in regard to wh a.t I've
been tr yin g to say about the vocation of the two
kinds of fa mily in the salva tion of the world .
You see I'm quite convinced that priests and
religious have a grea t deal to learn fro m our ordinary con tacts with life as it is lived around us, we
need to learn (oh , you can say this aga in !) what
JO
bein a really poor and ch aste and surrendering your
own b self-will can cost and how beautiful and
hum an it can be.
I think too that the won derful people wh o are
capable of sh owing us the true na ture of love (for
it all boils down to this) n eed sometimes to be
told by the professionals that they do do this, insteJd of being let know that only professed religiou s
do this.
W hat was unusu al about St. P at's in this way?
Is unusual still for these la.st few months of 196 8?
W ell, I'll tell you.
T h e school was always observed as a phenomenon both by Jesuits and the cream of Ca tholic
Melbourne . T h e difference between th e observers
h as been, I suppose, tha t the n on-Jesuits took it
for granted that the Jesuit General an d Provincia l
h ad carefully built it up by always puttin g their
best n~en on to its staff. T he Jesuits, of course,
especially th ose wh o served there, knew how u tterly
untrue this was . I, in fact, can remember a time
when Jesuits thought of it as the Cinderella of
Jesuit sch ools when it came to staffin g.
During my tim e on the staff I came to my own
firm conclusion . I have seen or heard nothing in
the fifteen years since to weaken it. I noticed the
fact that the parents of the boys were of an amazingly uniform group - ninety-nine point something
per cent when I was there. Practising Ca tholics all
of them, with a very high level of goodness in
their family lives, with a very carefully considered
judgment in regard to what they wan ted in the
way of education more than examina tion honours
for their sons. Instead of the common factor for
the boys being a regional one or a social one, the
common factor was this Chr;stian and Ca tholic
background. It was a school for the elite ( boys,
not masters) if ever there was one in this country.
Its outstanding quality was not the work of the
cathedral under whose auspices it had grown during
115 years, nor of the Jesuits, but of th e Catholic
people of Melbourne of six generations.
I feel like pulling my neck in a little at the
moment.
I can hear indignant voices asking what is wrong
with THEIR family life?
Are there no outstanding Catholic families apart
from those whose heads and sons boast a St. Pat's
schooling?
Peace, peace, go easy now! Doubtless, famil y
by family, there are many families better than their
St. P at's counterpart. The point I'm making is
that there grew up around St. Pat's an atmosphere
and a tradition not the work of ca thedral or Jesuits
or of an)' individual and outstandinob families ' but
the supernatural result of the uniformly high level
of quality in its families. Your chances of getting
the same in a regional school are ::1il.
Neither the cathedral n or th e Jesuits nor the
people of Melbourne had any right to such a good
school. In stead of facing the future 'w ith long faces,
let us thank God for the past.
I look back now with joy to the three years I
spen t there, 1950-52.
From the 300 boys in the school during my very
happy years there (the full strength in anyone year
was then just over 200 ), I can count seven diocesan
priests, one Cistercian , one M.S.C, one Dom inican, one
Carmelite, two Columbans , one Passionist , one Christian Brother, one Pallotine, two Blessed Sacrament ,
one Benedictine, nine Jesuits . About one in ten!
I count these simply from memory, or heart, looking around about me on the Australian scene today,
as I sit here over the typewriter. Have I omitted
any? I think you can take that for granted. Those
I have omitted will not mind, for they will understand that I am not giving these figures as bein o
any kind of triumphant score but only a a clu~
to the far grea ter number of the boys of those years
whom we all knovv successfully united in Christian
marriage.
What kind of picture would you compose for
the whole 115 years - well, I think it is quite
beyond human compOSItIOn. Every parent and
every Jesuit who had a hand in it at any time has
surely on ly reason for humble gratitude to G od.

My Filty Years
at
Saint Patrick's
"LUO"
When the first issue of the " new " series of
the Patridan was published in 1922, it carried·
a special par. about a very special Old Collegian who had covered himself in academic
glory through a brilliant course at Melbourne
University.
Lud Van Biler had attended St . Pat's in the
years 1910-1913, .and then progressed through
his Arts and Education courses with a long
series of Exhibitions, regularly taking First
Prizes in English, Latin and French . He took
the Shakespeare Society's award and graduated
w ith First-Class Honours.
But already in 1922 the editor of the
Patrician was writing of "Lud", not simply for
his brilliant academic career, but in gratitude
for his years of service to the Old Collegians'
Association since becoming a committee-manand an energetic one at that in 1915 .
Now completing his fiftieth year as a teacher
at St. Pat's and his fifty-eighth year of active
association with the college, Mr . Van Baer has
been prevailed upon to give this final num ber of the Patrician a memoir spanning more
than half of the school 's lifetime from 1854.
May we take this opportunity to express our
deep appreciation of the lifetime of service and
loyalty devoted to the School by one of her
fines t sons. His article, as also his life here,
typifies the spirit of the song that is to be
silenced in December:
"Loyal to our Faith, and loyal
'For God's greater glory' will
rule!
. . . in ev'ry kind of battle,
depend :
Patricians are steadfast, and
end ."

Semper et ubique fidelis -
to the

I feel very highly honoured at having been invited to "vrite for wh at may well be the last issue of
the Patrician. I h ave bored readers on various occasions with Reminiscences, the first over forty years
ago, the last only a few years ag8, but I h ad never,
at any time, conceived the possibility of "St. Pat's"
being forcibly closed. I have been aware for many
years of Archbishop Gould's letter to the Jesuits
guaranteeing them permanent occupancy of the
College site, and I simply could not conceive that
the Cathedral authorities would ever decide to treat
tl13t as another scrap of paper.
OVER HALF A CENTURY
I suppose I am reasonably well qualified for my
task, as I have been continuously associated with
St. Pat's for n early 60 years: as a pupil from 1911 13, as member of the Old Boys' Committee, and as
a teacher from 19 19 to the present time. I suppose
I should express a grudging acknowledgement of
the fact that the Cathedral has at least permitted
me to complete my fiftieth year of service .
After I left school, my contemporaries and I decided to continue our associ1 tion with the College
by establishing an Old Boys' Debating Society. We
met on the last Friday of each month, in the College Hall, and in our youthful enthusiasm we had
no compunction in imposing on Fr. O'Dwyer's
generosity and securing his services as Adjudicator.
I doubt if any of us ever realised that there were
plenty of things he had to do, which would have
been more useful and more in teresting than listening to the ditherings of a bunch of brash teenagers.
Some of our prominent members were Bill Bateman,
Leo Harty, Cyril Curtain, Lionel Stark and Frank
Frawley . We believed in advertising, so tll1t I was
commissioned, as Secretary, to write an accoun t of
our reflections on White Australia or Capital
Punishment for the delectation of readers of the
Advocate. Our publicity campaign brought results:
One Friday evening, when we assembled at about
7.50 we were abashed to find a massive and formidable personality awaiting us. It was Mick Williams,
whom I didn't know then as well as I do now. He
had been commissioned by the Old Collegians to
investigate our activities. It seems that they thought
we might be trying to set up a rival Association.
When Mick had been reassured that we had n o
evil intentions, we reach ed an amicable settlement
and accepted the patronage of the Association , in
return for which we were promised a representative
on the O ld Boys' C ommittee. I was Secretary of th e
Debating Society, and so was appointed as the
Junior Member of the Old Boys' Committee . At
the firs t meeting I attended, I was overawed by th e
prestige of the Committee members: our President
was Charles Gavan Duffy, C.M.G., our Vice-Presiden ts, Lieut. Colonel McInerny, Dr. Bride, Dr. McGillicuddy, W. B. Crosbie, Mike Mornane; our
Committee members included Danny \i\Tilson , Mick
Larkin, George Croy, Frank Clausen , and our two
staunchest P atricians, Joe McClelland ( R.I.P .) and
Mick Williams. In such an august assembly, it was
some time before I even ventured a remark!
HISTORIC
NAMES
Meetin g with su ch a group of talen ted and
fam ous Old Patricians, I was led to take an interest
in the early history of the College, which is studded
with the names of men "vho made their mark on
Victorian history. As the story of St. Pat's has of
late received some prominence in the press, there is
no need to point out again that it is the oldest
Catholic Secondary School for boys in Victoria , and
that it is the second oldest of the Public Schools. It
had a ch e::.Juered career between 1854 and 1865, but
since the Jesuits were requested to take charge of
it in that year, they have had uninterrupted control
up to the present time. An article published recently in T he Advocate dre"v atten tion to the fact
that, when the Duke of Edinburgh visited Melbourne in 1867, he was given a welcome by the
Public Schools in the Exhibition Buildings, and two
students from St. Pat's were deputed to read Odes
written by Frs. Lentaigne and Kell y. It is more significant that, 34 years later, the Duke of York
(afterwards King George V ) presided over a PrizeGiving Ceremony for th e Public Schools, again

Council
for

years .
Other old collegians to achieve the Mayoralty have been the late Si r
Raymond Connolly , whose

brought the Olympic Ga mes

Melbourne,
and
Sir

St. Pa t's was chosen to read the Address of \i\Telcome. At the same function , our Bob Solly was
awarded a medal for being Champion Athlete of
the Public Schools.
Even in those early days, Old Collegians were
playing a significant part in Public Life. The first
President of the Old Boys' Association was Sir ] o"hn
Madden, C.M.G., Chief Justice and LieutenantGovernor of Victoria, and his brother, Sir Fra·nh
Madden , was President of the Legislative Council.
Sir Charles Gavan D-uffy, C.NI. G., a Judge of the
State High Court , was our President for three years,
1914-19 16. Three old boys have held office as State
Librarians . Fmnh Dowden was, I think, th e firs t;
th e most eminent was Dr. F. F. B,-ide, M.A. , LL.D. ,
\
I.
who, after an academic career of extraordinary brilliance (he made practically a clean sweep of exhibitions and prizes ) eventually opted for Library
work, but at the same time continually used his
eloquence in public debates, particularly in furthering the cause of Democracy. At a later period,
Ernest Pitt was State Librarian from 1931-1943
when he retired. His brother, H . A. Pitt, was
Under-Treasurer of Victoria. Then there was lVUcl~
Mornane, doyen of Melbourne lawyers, who tried
unsuccessfully to conceal his profuse generosity in
charitable causes and, aided by his father, Mr. Pat
Mornane, made possible the foundation of Xavier
by the transfer to the Jesuits of "Mornane's Paddocks" (70 acres in the wilds of Kew ). There was
1t1l. B. Crosbie, LL.B .) Director of the Postal Dept.
in Victoria, Chairman of the inaugural Committee
which in 1912 paved the way for the foundation
of the Old Boys' Association. Then there were the
McInerney's - Dr. T. P. McInerney sometime
\Varden of the University, whose academic career
rivalled ir" brilliance that of Dr. Bride. (In one
year during the seventies, three out of four graduates who received the Doctorate of Laws were Old
Patricians - T. F. Bride, John Madden and T. P.
McInerney). He founded a legal business of high
repute, along with his brother, Lieutenant-Colonel
T. M. McInerney, C.M.G., lawyer and soldier,
Provost-Marshal for Victoria during the First World
\i\Tar. I knew him somewhat better than the other
celebrities I have mentioned, as he played a prominent part in activities of the Association. He was
a man of massive stature, with a brusque and somewhat aggressive personality, redeemed by a wry
sense of humour: he took pleasure in telling his
cronies that during the War he paid a Bying visit
to his old Rector, Fr. Nulty, then stationed at
Riverview. As his vast frame filled the doorway,
his uniform ablaze with medals and decorations,
Fr. Nulty looked up and mildly remarked, "My
goodness, Mack, how you've grown!"
But the most colourful of all the celebrities of
that age was Dr. A. L. Kenny (his son, Fr. Peter,
S.J., is now a Professor of Theology at Pymble).
He was an eminent eye-specialist of international
repute, one of the founders of the Australian College of Surgeons and President of the Victorian
B.M.A. Being one of the elite, he was also a
distinguished member of the Melbourne Club. At
the same time, he was deeply religious, and devoted
to the cause of the Church in Victoria; his services
were so outstanding that he was appointed Papal
Chamberlain, and later received the very rare distinction of KG .C.G. - Knight Grand Cross of St.
Gregory. If you look through your past copies of
the Patrician, you will find a very impressive photo
of him in his full regalia.
INTERNATIONAL TEST CAPTAIN
The list I have compiled is very incomplete, as
all the men I have mentioned are of an older
vintage than mine, and there are necessarily many
whom I have overlooked. But I must make mention of some of the sportsmen who brouoht fame
to St. Pat's. - Percy McDonnell, Test all-rounder
and Captain - (the only Catholic in his touring
te1m ), who gained vast respect by his steadfast
refusal to eat meat on Fridays; Dr. Tim Ryan,
Captain of two Essendon premiership teams, Hector
Vollugi, and Tom Fitzmaurice, who starred for
Essendon in the 1930's, and was able to subdue
the redoubtable I-Iorrie Clover. I must also include
John Donovan, who blotted his copy-book in that
he failec1 to realize the greatness of Essendon and
offered his allegiance to Carlton instead.
THE LATE JOE McCLELLAND
When I began writing these memoirs, I decided
not to mention by name Patricians who are still
with us, either my own contemporaries or the long
line of victims I have bored in class. Here I intend to make one exception, because I want to
remind you that St. Pat's Old Collegians' Association is baSically the work of three men Joe
McClelland (R.l.P.), who died a few years ago
after a long and very painful illness. Joe always
gave the impression that St. Pat's was the great
devotion of h-is life. Whenever he met YOll, he'd

try to make yOL~ toe the mark -;-; ':: ou'll be at the

Bill Moloney, wh o collaborated with these two
stalwarts and secured the co-op eration of th e Rector,
Fr. Tim Kenny. I got to know Bill very well wh en
we were teaching togeth er and found that his
brusque mann er concealed a very amiable personality. All Patricians fe lt very deeply for him when
he lost his da ughter and his son in qui ck succession during W orld War II, and if Mrs . M oloney
chan ces to read these n otes, I would like h er to
know that I often th ink of h er and reRect on
her own grief when she nursed Bill through his
last illness. Some of you wh o remember Bi ll
and who also h ad to suffer my dreary droning at
you in class, ma y be surprised to learn that, just
like you , I was taugh t and bullied by Bill as a
schoolboy. Bill provided me with on e of my sch oolboy triumph s. He took us for G eography Chow
I hated Geograph y!). H e asked me a question
about longitude and the reason why Standard Time
varies in variou s parts of the world. Amid all the
confusion in my mind about populations, ell.'}Jorts
and imports, rivers and mountains, I h ad two things
clearly fixed - th at the earth rotates fro m west to
east, and th at there are 360 in a circle. So when
Bill asked me whether Melbourn e time was earlier
or later than Green wich mean time, I promptly
explained that it was earlier. "Bunkum", said Bill,
"you mean later". I don't know whether he had
a momentary men tal aberration or whether h e was
trying me out. H owever I stuck to my guns, and
Bill recovered himself with grea t aplomb, as h e
said, "That's righ t of course. I like to find a boy
""ho knows his own mind and sticks to it."

are still more numerous, man y of them specialists
of international distinction, some of them h olding
important administrative positions. You will £ncl
Patricians eminent in Science, Surveying, Architecture, Engineering; in Journalism , where at least
three Patricians are highly distinguished. You will
£nd in the list at least one eminent painter and two
poets. In the academic world, I recall off-hand at
least six representatives, one of them a Professor
at M elbourne University. In the Public Service,
they have been especially prominent, partly because
in the bad old days there was a marked prejudice
against accepting Catholics 111 the Professions,
whereas entrance to the Public Service was by
competitive examination . I can think off-han d or
at least seven who became heads of their Departments, apart from those I have listed in the last
century. Some of them h ave recently retired, but
I know one at least (an old friend and ex-pupil)
who is still in active service. Again in the business
world you will £nd Old Patricians who have successfully organized their own concerns, or who h ave
achieved distinction in managerial administration.
In political life, St. Pat's has not been so prominent,
but at the present time there are three Patrician
parliamentarians, two in the Federal sphere and
one in the State. And last of all, we have a distinction that has so far not been achieved by the
daughter College at Xavier : we have a Patrician
who has won the Melbourne Cup. I needn't mention his name - if I say "Light Fingel's" it should
be sufficient, and he deserves special mention I because of his constant and unremitting devotion to
the interests of St. Pat's.
BISHOPS, CLERGY AND RELIGIOUS
There is one sphere in which St. Pat's has always
been, not eminent, but pre-eminent. That is in
vocations to the priesthood. I shall not stress this
point, as it has been repeatedly emphasized in
recen t weeks. Mr. J. Kendall read an impressive
list of £gures at our recent meeting in the Princeton. FI. Wilkins gave an equally impressive list
in his article in the Madonna. I have no exact
£gures readily available (you can £nd them in a
fairly recent issue of the Patrician ). But when a

took this portrait of the curator of the Australian section, Brian Finemore, (1934-41) seeing
to it that Dame Nellie Melba feels comfortably at home in her new splendour .
St. Pat's boys with a vocation have shown a decided preference for the Jesuit Order which gave
them their training. There have been 21 Rectors
of St. Pat's since the Jesuits took control, and four
of them were old Patricians - Frs. Keogh, Bourke,
Dennett and Gorman; Fr. Wilfred Ryan was for
many years vice-rector of Newman. Patricians have
provided two Rectors of Xavier. At the present
time, Patricians are Rectors of Xavier and of St.
Aloysius, and up to a few years ago, of Riverview.
You will find Patricians at any Jesuit establishment
you care to visit, many of them with administrative posts as Prefects of Study or Ministers. At
the present time, St. Pat's is staffed by II Jesuits
and six laymasters, fully qualified and highly competent, as is evidenced by consistent successes in
Public Exams, with a higher-than-average record
of success in Commonwealth Scholarships, Matric.
Passes and First-Class Honours. (This is sufficient
to dispose of the ludicrous statement that appeared
lately in the Age, that the school had to close because it was inadequately staffed: an average of one
competent master for 18.8 pupils is a record that
many schools, both State and Public, would find
it hard to equal.) Of the eleven Jesuit Masters,
no less than EIGHT are old Patricians!
A TEACHER ' S VANGUARD
One of the melancholy features of growing old
is that, year after year, you End your close friends
departing from the vale of tears - it's not so melancholy for them, probably, as it is for us. There is
a long list of myoId friends who have died- Joe
McClelland, George Croy, Cyril Curtain, Tom and
Frank Mercovich, Joe Costigan, Lionel Stark,
George Brew, all of them closely interested in the
welfare of St. Pat's. There are many others whom
18
I taught some forty years ago, like Sir Arthur Mor-
ris and Monsignor Cahir, whose eloquence would
surely have won him Archiepiscopal rank, if his
health had not been seriously impaired by his war
service in New Guinea. What is even more tragic
is that I can think of so many recent pupils who
have died through misadventure - the last of them
Kerry O'Brien, who died at the beginning of the
present year .
I have one last note to add: St. Pat's has always
been a "family" school. This is, no doubt, true of
most private and public schools, it is true of Xavier,
as it is of St. Pat's, but I have noticed it more
at St. Pat's than at Xavier, because so many
of the boys I have taught have been sons of my
contemporaries, and even grandsons of men whom
I knew a long time ago, for example, the Hennessys and the Clerehans. I can remember some
twenty years ago, being thunderstruck by a very
earnest student who thought that I'd known hi s
grandfather! The accusation wasn't as bad as it
sounded, because I had never even met his grandfather, but I had known Grandpa's daughter, a
very attractive young lady who patronised the Parish Library at St. Brigid's ""hen I was Librarian .
Mention of grandfathers makes me realise that to
younger Old Patricians, I must appear a complete
square, who simply isn't with it! I refute the charge
indignantly, but I am equally positive in affirming
that I am not in the least "with" the present very
ill-advised attempt to close a famous college in th e
full vigour of its career, and at a time when Cath olic Schools and vocations are, as we are assured,
Sunday after Sunday, major concerns for all aood
Catholics!

BACK NUMBERS OF THE " PATRICIAN "
As the early numbers of the "Patrician" contained many articles by the senior old
collegians of those times, g iving their reminiscences o·f life in the middle of the last
century, they are of considerable historical interest. it has accordingly been arranged
for bound sets of the entire series to be completed once this present number has been
published. One such set will go to the Province Archives of the Society of Jesus , one
to the Xavier College Library, and one to the reference section 9f the Latrobe Library.
The Editor wishes to thank those old collegians who gave up their old cop ies to
enable these sets to be completed .
Some back numbers from the ' twenties onwards are now surplus at the College and
may be obtained from the Editor pr ior to mid·December.

Old Patricians as
JESlJI7" BROTHERS
For very many years St Patrick's was the home of the late Brother
Duffy, S.J. , partner with Father Eustace Boylan in producing The Australian Messenger of The Sacred Heart which in those years was pubI:shed from St Patrick 's . It was Brother Du~y who helped Fathe'r
Robert Peterson and Joe McClelland revive the School Magazine with th e
publishing of " The Patrician " in its present form from 1922 onwards.
In later years Brother Johnson too was a familiar figure to the boys
of the college.
It is not surprising, then , that we have five old Pat r icia n Jesuits
do ing God's work as His brothers in the harvest field .
Top left is John Hanlon, S.J ., (1929-34). for many years now the
Manager of Sevenhills Wineries, directing the production of Sai: ramental
Wines from the planting of the vine cuttings through to retailing.
Cen t re left is John Malone , S.J ., (1923-29) with some of his young
cha rges at Burke Hall where he is teaching and prefecting . The many
young evacuees entering Burke Hall from St . Pat's next year will
rec eive a Pa t ric ian welcome from him, as well as from their Patrician
Headmaster , Father Matt Keaney , and Fathe r George Collopy.
Bottom left is Rod Reynolds, S.J ., widely known among the young
old collegians as the ir ever-faithful boundary-umpire , mentor and friend
in the Pa t ricians ' Football Club . Between football days he is teaching
and prefecting at Kostka Hall.
Bottom centre is Laurie Leonard, S.J ., nowadays exercising his versatile talents at Riverview , teaching and prefecting.
Bottom right is the youngest of the team , Michael Head , still in training at Loyola Seminary . During the past year when Asian Flu had swept
two of the community off to hospital we were delighted to have Brother
Michael come over to help us through our crisis. Some say he more
t han made up for the Rector 's absence in hospital!

ST. DATRICKfS CADET UNIT
final Parade, June 30, 1968
In the early 1870's the college had a suC'cessfui
rifle club, and by 1885 the Cadet Corps was functioning actively under the Defence Department of the
Colony of Victoria . Elder old collegians will recall
the rifle range that was part of the establishment up
to the 1920's. Since being reorganized in 1942 the
Cadet Corps has played a vital part in the training
of the boys .
The pictures opposite illustrate the final parade of
the Unit on Sunday, June 30th . During the Mass which
followed some 800 worshippers saw the unit flag
brought to the altar in the presence of the concelebrants .
The pictures opposite read as follow :

OLD COLLEGIANS' ACTIVITIES
BEFORE WORLD WAR. II
By Carl j\/f.cKernan, O.S.P.C.A. President 1951-1954
In the early years of th e Old Collegians' Association the Annual Ball was held at th e St. Kilda Town
Hall, and always attracted a large gathering . The
price of the tickets was 10/ 6 a head- which allowed for a sit-down supper which cost the Association 2/ 6 a head! In those years rivalry "vas keen
with the Old Paradians' Association as to which Ball
would have the greater attendance; there were many
who attended both Balls. An enthusiastic L3dies'
Committee assisted with the arrangemen ts each year .
THE FOOTBALL MATCHES
The establishment in recent years of the PatriciJns'
Club brings to mind the very enjoyable games that
were played, usually at Xavier, of Sunday matches
against other Old Boys' Associations and Newman
College. The Association jersey used then was very
similar to that worn by the present-day Patricans'
Club.
HIKING AND DRAMATICS
Before the possibility of a motor car to each member, great outings were had by the old boys and
their friends on the third Sunday of each mon th,
when a carriage or two of a train would be reo
~erved. The journey was to a destination whence a
cross-country hike would be undertaken . Great fun
was had and the lunch was in the form of what is
now referred to as the Bar-b-gue . In the summer
months swimming parties and trips "down the bay"
were alsc organized.
For some years a Dramatic Society was in formation and a number of plays was performed. The
actors were old boys and th e actresses th eir fri end s.
Unfortunatel y the Second W orld \iVar ca used th e
cessa tion of man y of these activities.
HELP TO
THE COLLEGE
Over the years the Association has made con tributions to the maintenance and welfare of the old
school. The major effort was a direct appeal to old
boys for assitance. This, with the introduction of th e
first College Fete showed a con tribution of 5)8,000.
Another appeal some years later produced some
$ 5,000 which was u sed for urgen tly needed repairs
to the handball courts and to provide the wire mesh

'~lh en I was asked by the Editor to vvrite a few
words regarding the St. Patrick's College (East Melbourne) Ladies' Auxiliary I wondered h ow I would
be able to give an account of an Auxiliary which
has done so much in such a relativeiy short time.
FOUNDED
BY FATHER T. O'DWYER
As my records do not go back any fur ther than
1954, I h ad to make a few enquiries, and who
better to ask than Mrs. Mercovich. She told me that
Rev. Fr. T. O 'Dwyer, who was Rector at the time,
called the Ladies' Committee together in 1935 and
the first President was Mrs. McGillicuddy, wife of
Dr. Maurice McGillicuddy, a former President of
the Old Collegians' Association. Mrs. Bill McGowan
was the next President ( her husband had also been
a President of the Old Boys' Association) , and the
Secretary was Mrs. W. C. Moloney (Mr. Moloney
was a teacher for many years at St. Pat's. The
Treasurers were Mrs. D. lVIcNamara and lVlrs. D.
Murphy.
Our next President was Mrs. Pirrie (she held
office for nine years), an d Mrs. Mary Flint and
Mrs. Casey performed the duties of Secretary durina
that time, and Mrs. Egan (wife of Dr. Egan ) wa~
Treas urer.
lVirs. Mercovich was the next President to come
into office and she was our President for fifteen
years. During that time Mrs. O'D onnell was Secretary and she was followed by Mrs. ~lalsh, who
was Secretary for ten years, and Mrs. D elves, who
held office for just on four years.

013 IT UAR Y - - - - - - LEONARD BURGOYNE
KERRY O'BRIEN
Just before the end of the 1967 Christmas holidays
"ve were shocked to hear of the sudden death of
Mr . Len Burgoyn e after an illness of only a few
hours. Though it was only a year since he had
joined St. Patrick's as a laymaster, the intervening
time had given us every reason to appreciate him,
not only for his obvious competence and efficiency,
but as a friend who fitted so h armoniously into this
commun ity.
The accompanying photograph of Kerry O'Brien
appeared in th e "Patrician " for 1966 with a tribute
to him for his outstanding work for the College
Mission Collections during that year. By his initiative
and organizing ability he had more than doubled the
funds raised throughout the school. This, amon g the
man y other evidences of leadership in school life,
marked him as a most unusual and universally popular leader : a member of the First XVIII and XI,
Adjutant of the Cadet Unit, Bandmaster for two
years, and a member of th e Council of the Sodality
of Our Lady.
H e was gifted with a sociable personality which
made it natural for him. to make friends easily, as
was evident from the large attendance of schoolboys
at his Requiem, alth ough it was still holiday-time and
they had been in no way organized into attending.
Still more impressive was the large group of boys
fro m the Sunshine High Sch ool paying fin al tribute
to the master who had won their friendship when he
taught th ere more than a year before. This was again
a spontaneous tribute from young people who appreciated the fin e qualities and friendship of their
master.
As Mr. Burgoyne had no close relatives in M elbourne, Father Bartels assumed the role of n ext of
kin during his last illness and until his relatives
could come over from Adelaide. Father Bartels was
accordingly the principal concelebrant of the Requiem
concelebra ted by priests of th e community in the
church of St. Carthage at Parkville on January 25th .
The beauty of the ceremonies and the silent testimony of the over-full church were in some measure
a token of sympath y to hi s bereaT/ed moth er and
members of his family.
~ am sure that the publica tion of the photograph
which accompames th ese notes will re-awaken in very
man y of us appreciative memories of an outstandin a
character, one formed in a non-ca tholic faith and
educational system prior to his con version to
Catholicity, and who from that baclwround contributed in a short period very many good things to our
life and work at St. Pat's.
46
As if all these activities were n ot enough, Kerry
foun d time to prepare with Gerard Sullivan that
sh ow-stealing in terlude in the 1966 Music Festival
in which "Kerry and Gerry" gave us of their best as
n ear-professional guitarists. W e were to en joy their
musical talent on man y occasion s, not forgetting their
numbers with the Crowe Contemporary Ensemble at
the Sodality end-of-the-year Social. N or was his
talent as a guitarist restricted to dance and popular
numbers. It was largely due to Kerry and G erty that
the communal sin ging at Sodality M onthly M asses
came alive with a n ew spirit and n ew vigour .
After leaving sch ool Kerry was always to be seen
at school fun ction s and among the younger old
collegians, havin g started as a cadet industrial
chemist with the C.U.B. Even there his ran ge of
interests wid en ed further and h e had aspirations towards the career of a commercial pilot when a holiday tra ffic accident in January ended his promisin g
and alwa ys-h appy life.
N o words can do justice to th e popularity Kerry
had won on every side, or the sorrow at the tragedy
for his family. Bu t all will remember th e ample n ave
of St. Benedict's Church more than packed for the
evening rosary and then the scores of people standing along the walls during his Requiem after hundreds h ad packed the pews. Carloads of summer holidaymakers had returned from distant parts of the
coast and even from central N.S .W . to be with th e
O'Brien family in their tim e of sorrow. T hey came
in a spirit of sorrow, but it was obvious after th e
Requiem that the faith of the famil y and the immensity of the crowd h ad changed the occasion to a
magnificent demonstration of christian hope. To his
fa th er and mother, fi ve Patrician brothers and his
sisters, go our prayers and sympathy.
RT . REV. MONSIGNOR JOHN CAHIR, P.P., B.A .
Well-known to viewers of Catholic TV programmes, to returned soldiers, and to a wide field beyond that of his own parishioners, Mgr. John Cahir
was always a man's man, a good mixer, and congenial company.
' iVhen the first group of seminarians trained at
Corpus Christi were ordained in July 1930, it was a
source of grea t pride to St. P at's that the college was
fittingl y represented by this old collegian. Many
years later, when the Old Collegians launched their
Patrician Football Club, it was Father John wh o
reached for his cheque book and generously helped
them to get started .
H e n ever allowed the handicap of ill-health incurred during his service overseas in \.iVorld War II
to keep him inactive for long, though illness did time
and again interrupt his apostolate in recent years. But
as parish priest of the Chadstone P arish, and TV
counsellor to thousands more, he 'Nas welcome for
his friendly and easy approach and everyday homespun presentation of the Church's message. T h e fine
modern church of the H oly Eucharist in Dandenong
Road stands as a fitting memorial to his labours. May
he rest in peace.
OTHER CONDOLENCES
Members of th e college community and of the
Ladies' Auxiliary joined in offering the Hequiem for
Lurline O 'Brien, past President of the Auxiliary and
for many years an indefatigable worker for St. Patrick's. In April the death occurred of Mrs. James
Hennessy, a welcome and familiar figure at
O.S.P .c.A. functions, particularly during the period
of Jim's presidency of the O.S.P.C.A. ' iVe vvish to
extend our sympa thy to these bereaved families, and
also to P eter and Vin Scully wh ose mother died at
the beginning of the year, to T erry and Paul Mulgrew whose father died in June, and to Brian, Kevin
and Vaughan H ayes, whose fa ther died on March
11 th. In our 1967 n um ber a speCial fea ture recorded
Ol rr appreciation of all the late Joe McClelland had
don e for St. Patrick's and the old collegian s. Again
we extend our sympa th y to the McClelland and
Corder families in the death of Mrs. Joseph McClelland, sister of the late Frank Corder, during the
pa st year. Among the old collegians, John Hurry
lost his father, as also did Roy and Brian Fleiter, and
Lawrence and James IVIcGuane, to wh om we also
extend our sympa th y, as also to Hagnar and iVIrs.
H emm erling on the death of Mr. Hemmerling on
September 26.
Apart from th e masses and prayers offered for
these at th e time of receiving hrst news of decease,
there will be the usual Old Collegians' Hequiem and
Sodalists' Requiem after this "P atrician" h as gone to
press, in early November in th e ch apel that has been
for over a cen tury the ven ue for our prayers for
deceased P atricians and friends.

For many years there was a feeling abroad
amongst old boys that one way to maintain the enthusiasm of young old boys in the Association was
to form a football club as an activity of the old
boys. It had been observed that those Catholic old
boys' associations which fielded football teams in the
Amateur Association seemed to derive great support
from young old boys at their function s.
Brian Thomson had been giving this m.atter a
lot of thought over the years but all his efforts to
gain the support and interest of the Committee
proved unsuccessful. However, when Brian became President of the Associa tion, he was able to
con trol the movement for the formation of a football club in the Committee and ultimately, during
1964, was successful in causing a motion to be
carried authorizing him to make the necessary application to the Victorian Amateur Football Association to field an old boys' footba ll team.
LAUNCHED AND AFFILIATED
At this time he had the support of only a few
enthusiastic followers; no ground, no finance, but
un bounded optimism.
It is past history now that the V.A.F.A. welcomed the advent of Patricians and at the first application the good name of the College was su fficient to enable their application to be approved, and
the Patrician Footba ll Club was belated ly formed,
50
1964-68
well over one h undred years after the fOlll1ding of
the College - a fact about which past Committees
should hang their heads in sh ame.
Steps were then taken to form a club separate
from but under the au spices of the Associa tion and
the founda tion President of the C lub was Brian
Thomson. He was assisted by an enthusiastic Committee with John Regan as Vice-President, John
Cashen as Secretary and Keith Marshall as
Treasurer (without funds). Arrangemen ts were
made to share Oval 8 at Albert Park and the task
was then to find players, funds and a coach.
THE 1965 SEASON
The C lub was fortunate in being able to obtain
the services of Dave Lentin as Coach for the first
year and the services of Jock O'Kane who h ad been
playing grade football in Can berra. Bernie Power
was appointed Captain (a position he has re tained
to date) and the first round saw a f ull team sporting their new jerseys (navy blue and white stripes)
which arrived only minutes before the game started .
A win in this firs t match fores hadowed a most successful season in the "F" Grade . T he end of th e
home-and-home matches saw Patricians in third
place on the ladder - a tremendous performance
for their first year. Their run ended there, however, as they lost the first semi-final by seven points
to A.M.P., a team they had previously beaten on
both occasions on which they had played them.
Best player for the first year was Jock O'Kane
who won by a very narrow margin from Terry
Mulgrew. It is to be n oted that these players filled
four th and fifth places respectively in the voting in
"F" Grade again, a great performance when
they were playing against a previous "A" Grade
best and fairest and another player, Ben nison , from
Reservoir High who since then has consistently
held a place on the half-back Hank for Fitzroy Firsts.
THE 1966 SEASON
The success which the C lub enjoyed in 1965 was
the prelude to a year of bitter cbsappoin tment in
1966 . Instead of the Club havin g the services of
the top pla yers for more than a year, when th e
team lined up for 1966, Jock O'Kane had transferred to a club in a higher division, Terry Mulgrew injured his ankle and was lost for the remainder of that season and th e whole of the next
season, severa l other star players were missing and ,
after the first round , the services of th e coach, D ave
Lentin, were lost to the C lub . The V.A .F.A. h ad
re-organized the grades in 1966, resulting in the
abolition of "F" Grade and the promotion of Patricians to "E" Gra de.
T he high er standard of football togeth er "vith the
loss of players and th e coach resulted in a severe
loss of morale amongst th e players and, after losses
running into double figures, it took th e determined
efforts of a loyal old boy , Jack Toohey (who could

ill afford the time), to bring the side to its first win
for the year. The necessary departure of Jack saw
morale collapse again and a fur th er series of losses
took place until Leo Connors took over the coaching and th e Club finished in great heart wi th two
wins in th e last three matches. Captain Bernie
Power comfortably won the best and fairest award
for 1966.
1967 CATASTROPHE

Runner-up, 1967.
The burst of success at the end of 1966 raised
the hopes of the Club for 1967, and Brian Thomson was President for the third year in succession.
Tony Cavanagh h ad joined the Committee this
year as Secretary and the revival of the forces of
the C lub is due in no small measure to his capacity
and en thusiasm. The services of Ken Bell as Coach
were obtained, and everyone looked forward to a
good year. These h opes were soon dashed and the
least said about 1967 th e better. At no stage did
the players display the ability th ey undoubtedly
possessed and on the odd occasions when victory
apeared to be in sight it was snatch ed away. It
could truly be said that 1967 was the year of
Patricians' Gethsemane , and the year closed with
the C lub clear winners for the wooden spoon without h aving achieved a win. Murray Cullinan won
best and fairest on a count-back from Bernie Power.
In spite of the disappointments on the field, the
administration of the Club was very stron g. Instead
of throwing in the sponge as they might have been
e>.:pected to do were they not Patricians, the officials
approached their t as~ with grea t determination.
vVith Tony Cavanagh in the van, it was decided
that the only an swer was to field a Reserves side
which would provide ample spare parts to feed the
Firsts when, as so often happened, they were hit
51
by illness or lDJury. As well, it was hoped that the
Firsts migh t train and pIa y harder if they realized
there were many keen and enthusiastic boys anxious
to get a chance to show their mettle with the Firsts.

In 1968 Brian Thomson was obliged, through
pressure of business, to step down from the office
of President after th ree years but he retained an
active interest in the Club as Vice-President and
"Medicine Man". Tha t great and loyal old boy
and one-eyed supporter, Carl lVIcKernan , was talked
in to accepting office as Presiden t for 1968. The
bold move of fielding a Reserves side proved an
outstanding success.
A new enth usiasm flowed
through the Club and Bernie Power (in his fourth
year as Captain ) was appointed Coach also. The
first ma tch saw the Club scrambling home to victory
by a few points from E.S. & A. Bank. This success
tasted very sweet after more than a season in the
wilderness. T he Club finished the season with nine
"vins and it "vas only a couple of uneA'Pected losses
to bottom teams which prevented Patricians from
being in the four.
The story of Patricians' Football Club would not
be complete without reference to that great band of
officials and supporters who kept the wheels turning. For th e four years of its existence the Club has
been fort unate to h ave Brother Rod Reynolds as
Bou ndary Umpire, and hail, rain or shine has seen
Rod th rowing the ball in with great skill and de termination. Rod has also been a tower of strength to
the Committee "vith encouragement and ideas, both
as to the better administration of the C lub an d
efforts to get coaches and players. The late Mr.
Clark, th e fat her of our star fu ll-back, Simon,
rendered great service as time-keeper u ntil his health
caused him to relinquish this post. David McEwen
and Barney Moore have given great assistance as
Goal U mpire and Time-Keeper respectively. T he
Rec tor, Father Drury, has been a driving force with
his help and encouragement as well as a fervent
supporter at the ma tches. The most vociferous supporter was Fa ther Quigley before his transfer to
Brisbane and a very close watch had to be kept on
him in case he let his partisan enthusiasm run riot.
His only real competitor vocally was Fa ther M uirhead whose "Come on, Pats!" could be heard all
over the field.
By mid-1968 it was fel t that the Clu b, after its
earlier vicissitudes, was at last on a sound foo ting
and abou t to go places. It came as a tremendous
shock to the players and officials to hear of the
imminent closing of the School. This poses the
question "Quo Va dis?" Time alone will provide
the answer.

Dear John,
No doubt, you and the Old Boys' Association are fe eling 1nore than most
the sad news about St. Pat's. My own life-long ambiti.on as a Jes11it - namely
to return to the School to worh there - has been put now beyond the realms

desire to do what I can for our old School. I Iwow, too, for sure, that the O.KA.
will understand the situation and not forget history .
T he occasion will call for cool heads and hind h earts and I know 110 better
location of such qualities than am.ongst St . Pat's people. Please pray that, in-sa-far
as these matters concern me, I may handle them as a true son of Sf. Patrich's.

Dear M7'. j\iIcGI.one,
At the last general meeting of the Old Xaverians' Association, the members
w1animously ashed ·m.e 1:0 write to ),0'1/ and yo'ur fellow Patrici.ans and tell YOll
how deep ly we feel fo r you all at th'is sad moment when the end of a great
school draws near.
1,ve bww so well that i.t is from Sf. Patrich's we arose, and th1'O lI gh YOll r
c:>urtesy we became one of the Associated PlIblic Schools of V ictoria.
We know also of YO'ur distinguished record and we 17ave alwa),s recognised
the uniq1,te character of the Schoo l. and of the Patricians in that Y O II were so
obviously loyal to each other and to the Society of Jes1lS .
You, have always been so rightly consci01.1,s of Yo1-lr pro'ud pos'ition as one of
the pioneer schools of Victoria and the fi·rst great Catholic school in f'1wt State .
Nlany of 'us can boast that o'ur fathers were ed'lI cated at St . Patrick's
Co l,lege .
And so it is in a spirit of brotherhood and fel10wskip that we say to y om
Associati.on: "tell 115 1701.1} we can help" . If we can do an )'th'ing, it will be O'lIr
spec'ial priv-ilege and we will be deep I)' lwnow'ed by YOH.r confidence .
YOW's sincerely,

Dear Mr. McGlone,
It is with deep regret that my Association heard of the decision to close
St . Patrich:s College at the end of 1968. For a long time now the Academy of
Mary Immaculate Past Pupils' Association and the St. Patrick's College Old
Collegians have h~d very close connections and the old Colleges share the
honour of being the two oldest Catholic Colleges in Victoria.
We , at the Academy, 'want yo·z,t to know that ow' th011ghts are with yOH in
this very heart-breabng time and sincerely hope that the Old Boys' Association
will do all in its power to keep the name of St. Patrick's College, S.J. forever
prominent in the Catholic Archdiocese of Me lh01l1"11e.
Yours sincerely,

AVE et VALE
Shortly before this paper was due to go to press a very sllrpnsmg and
announcement was m,ade cO'l'Lcerning one of tile oldest lind ",nost
d:ist-inguished boys' Colleges 'i n IVlelbourne ,
',lnpOp~tlar
It is regrettable that a College s~lch as St, Patricl~'s East Melb01lr11e, sholtld
be closed down even "to maize way for progress," After 114 yellrs of tradition
'unsurpassed in any other boys' CoUege, -it has dist-ingl'l'ished itself liS one College
to which anyone would be p/'O'~Ld to send the'ir son lind feel that his chllmcter
was be'i ng devel.oped unde-r the watchful eye of dedicated priests who were personally concerned with the spirit1.,al and scholastic de17el.opment of each boy who
was entr~l.sted to thei1' care.
Thro~Lghou-t our associ.ation with Sf. Patrich's, whether it be with its priests,
students or Old Boys we have always fo'und the'wl to be gentlemen with some
i.ndeftnable qual-ity - the 1'rl,arh of the Patric'ian. Hi e feel, deeply fOl' the present
and past Collegians and for the City of l'vIelbo~l:rn e whose f'lt'lire loss ,in the
professional fteld w-ill, render it the poorer.
Whi le it is not for us to disagree 1,17ith the officL'l1 nding thllt St, Plltrick's is
to maize 'way for an Ad1'l1:inish'at'ive Centre 1ve canllot but feel like tile poet
T, E. Brow'n.e:
"I f this i.s as -it ought to be,
My God I leave -it j,m to thee!"
Farewell, St, Patric/z's, y01ll' spirit 1l1ill lille on!
