December 1932. Kambala's New Principal

The honor of being one of the youngest, if not the youngest, principal of a girls' secondary school in New South Wales, falls to Miss Fifi Hawthorne, who has been appointed Principal of Kambala for 1933.

MISS HAWTHORNE, who combines charm with brains, was one of the first boarders at St. Gabriel's School, Waverley, where she was educated untij she gained an exhibition to the Sydney University, from where she graduated as a Bachelor of Arts before returning to her old school to become a member of the teaching staff. It was not long before her value, not cmly as a teacher, but as a splendid organiser and disciplinarian, was recognised, end after five years she was appointed senior mistress at St.

resident

Gabriel's, which position she held for a further eight years. An enthusiastic supporter of the Girls' Secondary Schools' Club, which has grown into a flourishing organisation since its inception flve years ago, Miss Hawthorne was elected secretary of the Girls' Secondary Schools' Sports Union. She also plays a first-grade game of tennis, and in former school days partnered Mrs. Jack Crawford women's State tennis, champion. During her thirteen years as a member of the teaching staff at St. Gabriel's Miss Hawthorne was sports mistress for a long period, and she helped to firmly establish the "school house" system, which divides the school proper into various "houses" for competitive games, and introduces a healthy competition between the houses, both in and out of the schoolroom. Though tins system has flourished for many years in the Great Public Schools, it is only recently that it has been successfully established in the Girls' Secondary Schools.

BY R H S CAVAN. GENERAL M A N A G E R .

OUTWARDLY this is merely a plain statcment of Fact, but the significance of those few words has at least some effect on the lives of aLl maie officers of the bank-—and perhaps the female officers, too. If

banking had not changed and if the work of the bank office! had not changed, the bank would not have paid more than $ 2 6 0 , 0 0 0 for a training centre and those words would never have been inscribed. But that plate was made in 1966 and we must go back 135 years to lind the origin of this beautiful blend of view and building and grounds which, collectively, is "Fernleigh Castle."

Real Estate It aLl started on March 8, 1812, when Samuel Breakwell of the City of Cork in Ireland was granted 60 acres of land at Rose Bay, which he promptly sold for £450. T h e land was so remote from seulement, however, that it was not until 1874 that the then owner, Charles Warman Roberts, built himself a small stone cottage which he named " T h e Ferns." C . W . Roberts was a member of the family who estab-

lished and conducted the famous Roberts I Iotel in Market St., Sydney, until it closed only two or three years ago. In 1881 the property, then known as Fernleigh, was sold to Frank Bennett, proprietor of the Sydney ncwspaper "The Evening News," for £4,600. Incidentally, for some years the famous Banjo Paterson was the editoi of "The Evening News."

Bennett is known to have spent heavily to have Fernleigh cnlarged and remodelled into its présent form, a replica of a Scottish castle. T h e work took eleven years and was completed in 1892. T h e original stone cottage, which had been extensively enlarged, was not de-

molished.

It was incorporated in

the castle and forms the present lounge room, dining room and principal's office. T h e original hardwood flooring in the present lounge and dining rooms had been drcssed with an adze. It was still in perfect condition when it was carpeted a few years ago, although sanding it smooth was quite a task. T h e caretaker's cottage, which is still there although considerably modilied, was built by Frank Bennett near the entrance to the drive on New South Head Road. Shortly before 1920, when the property was purchased by Mrs. E. M . C . Watt, wife of New Zealand racehorse owner, Edward James W a t t who had settled in Australia and had extensive grazing interests here, Fernleigh was leased

liam Buckingham, a director of the well known Oxford Street store, Buckingham's Ltd. Most things in this world have their ups and downs and castles apparently are no exception. W h e n Mr. Buckingham's original plans fell through he tried to sell the property but couldn't find a buyer. At this stage Fernleigh was vacant and suffered the supreme indignity of being visitée! by the lowest form of life, the vandal. A plan to sell it to the Government of Czechoslovakia for use by their représentative in Australia was well on the way when the Petrov affair blew up and wrecked the project. T h e British airline, B.O.A.C., then decided to buy it as their Sydney

for two years to Dame Nellie Melba, who caused a mild uproar by having some of the trees cut down to widen the view of the harbour. At that time the seven acres of land extended to New South Head Road and the castle was approached through a magnificent drive flanked by beautiful lawns and gardens. E . T. W a t t died in 1942 but his wife lived at Fernleigh until her death in 1950. In April, 1951 the property was sold to a syndicate which subdivided and sold about six acres of the land lying between the castle and New South Head Road. Shortly afterwards, the remainder was acquired by Mr. Wil29

headquarters but the sudden failure of their early Comet aircraft forced a radical change of plans. Architects were called in to test the walls and the general layout of the building with the idea of converting it into five self contained flats. Stonemasons had actually picked testing holes in the sandstone walls when thfa plan had to be abandoned. While ail this was going on a charitable order of the Boman Catholic Church had been toying with the idea of buying the building but had not been able to rcach a decision. Then, towards thc end of 1954, Mr. Bruce H. Jackson was driving along New South Head Road when he saw a notice offering secondhand shop fittings for sale. Mr. Jackson, who was a builder, did not want shop fittings, secondhand or otherwise, but he had a friend who did. Following the directions on the notice he found the fittings stored in the now slightly depressing old building, Fernleigh Castle.

"Next morning I went to our castle (my wife was parl-owner) and was met by a puzzling sight. Some twenty or more ladies were cleaning the building inside and out. Their dress and their manner showed that they were not professional cleaners so I concluded that they were local residents, so pleased that the castle had been saved from demolition or decay that, as a gesture of appecciation to me, they had decided to restore Fernleigh to Us former glory as quickly as possible. "This rather fanciful conclusion quichly evaporated when I found the leader of the working party and asked why they were cleaning the building." She replied, 'Because the Archbishop is coming to look at it.' 'And why,' I asked, 'should the Archbishop want to look at it?'

Wcntworth's old home in Phillip Street to make the sun ken garden alcove. From historié St. Malo and from the old StewartDawson home at Darling Point he bought bricks, fittings and shutters to give the right character and atmosphere to the cottage suite. T h e lamp post which so fittingly décorâtes the entrance came from the Bourke Street Presbyterian Church. In short, the scars left by Fernleigh's lean years were removed by the pride and the care and the artistry of Fernleigh's owner who, fortunately, was a builder, too.

'Because we've bought it,' she replied. 'Bill you can't have bought because it's mine.'

'You must be mistaken,' she said, 'our church has considered buying this building for quite a while and we have now decided to go ahead.' "And that was so. By a strange coïncidence the church, after considering the proposition for quite a long lime, had decided to buy the building on the very day I had exchanged contracts."

"I had one look at the castle," said Mr. Jackson, "and was capti vated. I realised that under the thin veneer of shabbiness was a magnificent building and I just had to own it.

"I went looking for Bill Buckingham and found him in the street. The next day, Tuesday, I made an offer; on Wednesday I paid the deposit, and on Friday we clinched the deal by exchanging contracts. That day I drove home on air, literally and metaphorically.

I felt one great regret last week after spending an hour or so with Mrs. Alan Bellhouse, otherwise known as the dis­ tinguished musician and composer Dulcie Holland, at her Northbridge home. This was my failure to keep up my limited musical education.

HAROLD H. J.

She inspired me to listen with greater concentration to fine music on radio and to invest in some cassettes of musical classics. Dulcie Holland is mar­ ried to Alan Bellhouse. former director of music at Newington College. She has been in the music world most of her life. After she left school her parents encouraged her to c o n t i n u e her musical studies under the guidance of Australia's great Frank Hutchens. She later went to England, and while there was awarded scholarships for further studies. She spent two years at the Royal College in Lon­ don, and on her return home she became a promi­ nent contributor to ABC musical programmes.

Bay and at one time ac­ c o m p a n i e d a combined choral p e r f o r m a n c e at Scots Church, York Street. It was here she met Alan Bellhouse, who was con­ ducting the choir. At the time he was conductor of the Chalmers Street Church choir. Some time after their m a r r i a g e her husband joined the services during the second World War. During his absence Dulcie was kept busy with their two small children, Lindsay and Holly, but she found time to develop her great talent in composing. Among her many suc­ cesses in this area has been the production of a number of- music booklets which

help the student of music to interpret the several grades in the syllabus laid down by t h e A u s t r a l i a n Music Examination Board. She emphasises that in true musicianship there must be an interplay be­ tween theory and practice. She is a member of a i panel of examiners who share different grades in examining the thousands of s t u d e n t s tested by the board twice each year. She is extremely busy with lecturing and teaching. The day after my visit to her home she was to set off for a whole day's lecturing and discussion with St. Joseph's nuns from many parts of the state at a con­ vent in the Blue Mountains. One of her compositions she enjoys most is a Sym­ phony for Pleasure she composed specially for the North Shore Symphony Or­ chestra, of which wellknown group of performers her husband is conductor. Between them the Bell­ house husband and wife team pioneered the com­ munity orchestra idea in Sydney. They believe that if m u s i c l o v e r s and per­ formers can get together at frequent intervals it is good for them and good for mu­ sical standards. Between them they have shepherded many students in the or­ chestral and general musical world. At the moment Dulcie Holland and Joyce Trickett, the celebrated interpreter of verse and speech, are working together on a mu­ sical production to be per­ formed during the two weeks festival which will celebrate the opening of the Opera House. Joyce will write the

poetry and Dulcie is busy composing the music. It will be produced by the North Shore Symphony Or­ chestra under the baton of Alan Bellhouse. Trying to decide on a title, Joyce recently flew over the Opera House and she thought the silhouette resembled a hand, which she imagined could have b e e n t h e hand of the f a m o u s Aboriginal Bennelong "awakening to mu­ sic". The combined crea­ tive effort is now to be titled Poem In Dimension (Bennelong). Among her many com­ positions Dulcie Holland in­ cludes numbers"of songs for children, some entirely created by herself, others in collaboration with Joyce Trickett. Wattle Gold is one on which they both worked. Another is Time for Singing which introduces the ABC Kindergarten of the Air. At one time she composed a saxophone sonata for Clive Amadio and she also worked with Alfred Hill in some of his compositions.

"Two ??? before additions on

Dulcie Holland's orchestral suite, "Kambala," is specially composed in honor of the from “Book of Kells.” well-known Sydney school that overlooks a glory-corner of Rose Bay. There are five movements—"Parade," the morning march: "Dark"Tall Pines," impres­ sions of the school garden; "Recess," a scherzo, the 11 o'clock break; "The Winding Drive"; and the finale, "Esto sol Testia's school song. "Home Work" and "See the Headmistress" are conspicuous by their absence. Dulcie Holland believes that music of modern days should express the joys of our own lives and the age we live in. Still in her early twenties, she has been composing since the age of ten—a wide variety of songs, chamber music, piano duets and solos, and violin and 'cello sonatas. She was teacher of pianoforte at Kambala before" she left for London in 1937. where she won fresh laurels at the Royal College of Music—the Cobbett Annual Prize for Chamber Music, and the Blumenthal threevears' scholarship for composition. "Kambala." . performed by Sydney Sym­ phony Orchestra, and broadcast over A.B.C. National stations, was featured in a pro­ gramme of the work or Australian com­ posers this week.

Ex-Students' Dance. To raise funds for the cot which they main­ tain in the Infants' Home, Ashfield, the exstudents of Kambala School arranged a dance at the school last night, the rooms being made available by the principal, Miss F. Hawthorne, for the party. Gold predominated in the de­ corations, the golden scheme being carried out even in the appointments of the supper table. Plenty of balloons, mingled with the golden flowers, added a gay note. Miss Hawthorne, who wore a gown of winecoloured crushed velvet, was the guest of honour, and received a posy of white camelias and lily-of-the-valley from the commit­ tee. Miss Gwenyth Love, the president of the Old Girls' Union, wore a frock of black georgette; Miss Reba Stewart, the vice-presi­ dent, was in cinnamon lacquered satin; Miss Vida Breckenridge, the hon. secretary, chose a frock of henna moire.

Death of former Canberra publisher Mr C. J. Shakespeare former printer and pub­ lisher of "The Canberra Times," died in Canberra yesterday at the age of 72. Christopher John Shakespeare was above all a printer of outstanding competence and ingenuity. His capabilities helped the newspaper to survive its early difficult days after it was launched by his father. Thomas Mitchell Shakespeare. brothers, Arthur and Clarence, in Canberra s population was fewer than 4,000, many of them living in tents. First issues of the "Times" sold about 1,800 copies, and circulation was never more than 3,000 a day until the late 1930s.

Through years of finan­ cial stringency, Jack, or C. J., as he was called, nursed the plant and made parts to take the place of those he could not buy, at countless cost in time, missed meals and sleep. And in time he saw the company grow to pros­ perity and the paper wield much influence. He brought to his task experience gained in early training with Smith and Miles, Sydney typesetters, with the "Illawarra Mercu­ ry", Wollongong, and the "Hawkesbury Herald," at Richmond. From 1926 to 1962 the name Christopher John Shakespeare appeared on every issue of "The Can­ berra Times" as its printer and publisher. But C. J. was also first secretary of the proprietor company, the Federal Capital Press of Australia Pty Ltd, and a director until 1964 when the company was told to John Fairfax Ltd Between 1959 and 1965 he was the paper's adver­ tising manager. Recognition of his abili­ ties in printing came from the Country Press Associa­ tion, which appointed him to its technical committee and retained him as techni­ cal adviser. Many provin­ cial printers in New South Wales and northern Vic­ toria benefited from his advice and help. He was involved in many Canberra commu­ nity activities. In 1928 he married Vic­ toria Dunstan, who sur­ vives him. His death leaves Mr Arthur Shakespeare, the chairman of Federal Capi­ tal Press, sole survivor of the newspaper's founders. The funeral will take place in St John's Church­ yard, Canberra, on Mon­ day.

AN HISTORIC SCHOOL IN AN HISTORIC SETTING KAMBALA CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL FOR GIRLS, Backstage in the early 1900'

TIVOLI HEIGHTS, ROSE BAY,

First Professional Ballet Company Although dance, some of it in classical styles, has been part of Australian entertainment from the Colony's early days, it was not until 1940 that Helene Kirsova, a prima ballerina with the de Basil Balle Russe company, established the first full time, professional touring classical ballet company in Australia. Another Ballet Russe dancer, and a man destined to play an even more important role in development of Australian ballet, was Edouard Borovansky, who established a school and company in Melbourne at about the same time. Dancing schools, mostly operated by expatriate Europeans, had been known since 1833. and by the 1840's ballets were fairly common, although their venues, sometimes in saloons and as part of circus acts, were not always in keeping with classical concepts, even when they featured the famous Lola Montez. first great name in dancing to visit Australia. A major boost for ballet in Australia came in 1889, when J.C. Williamson advertised for ballet girls to appear in a pantomime. A permanent troupe was subsequently chosen, and a free ballet school established at the Prin­ cess Theatre, Melbourne. A series of visits by great dancers and companies in the 1920's and '30's assured the growth of ballet in Australia. First was the triumphant visit of Pavlova in 1926, with a company of 42 dancers and a repertoire of 17 ballets. Pavlova's principal dancers gave lessons in Australia, and on the company's second visit in 1929, Mischa Burlakov remained in Sydney and with Louise Lighttot established the "First Australia Ballet'' This amateur c o m p a n ywasThe first to present such ballets as "Swan Lake", "Scheherazade" and "Petrouchka". At about the same time, the National Theatre Movement in Melbourne began a ballet school which was to develop into a professional company, and "Les Ballets Contemporains" was formed in Adelaide. They launched a trend that h a s grown into nearly a dozen major professional and semi-professional state and city ballet companies. In 1936 J.C. Williamson brought out de Basil's Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, one of the most famous companies in die world. It returned (called the Covent Garden Ballet Russe) in 1938, and was still in Australia when war broke out in 1939. Both Kirsova in Sydney and Borovansky (who had first

come to Australia with Pavlova in 1926) in Melbourne came from this company to begin their schools and dance companies in 1940. Kirsova formed her troupe around a core of Russian dancers, and was an influence on many, including her rehearsal pianists Henry Krips and Charles Mackerras. The editor of "Art in Australia" (who was to h a r r y Kirsova in 1945 and return with her to Europe) wrote, "within 12 months of opening her school presented a company of 25 dancers . . . at the Sydney Conservatorium, and six months later had a company of 40 dancers in a six week season at the Minerva Theatre In Sydney. " which was immediately followed by" another season at His Majesty's, Melbourne. Borovansky, however, was to dominate the ballet scene until his death in 1959, and to provide the major link in today's widely acclaimed' Australian Ballet. The company he formed was managed by J.C. Williamson and toured (profitably) all Australian states and New Zealand. When Borovansky died, Miss Peggy van Praagh (now Dame) stepped in as artistic director of the company. It failed, but Dame Peggy and the dancers from "Boro's' company went on to form the nucleus of the Australian Ballet in 1962. The Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust, with J.C Williamson formed the Australian Ballet Foundation in 1961, which was granted government funds (now grown to more than $1 million a year) in support of the Ballet's company and school. Dame Peggy and Sir Robert Helpmann (who had joined the Pavlova company at the age of 16) have been dominating influences on the Australian ballet, an era just now drawing to a close. The Melbourne-based Australian Ballet has presented many original works, including such Helpmann ballets as "Yugen" and "The Display", and has h a d several successful international tours in its 13 seasons. The first tour began in London in 1965, where Dame Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev were impressed enough t o join the company for its European season. State and local ballet companies have had a recent resurgence, partly through the Federal grants system. Professional companies are now resident and perform in all states to good audiences.

Tall and attractive, the bride, who was given away by her father, wore a trained gown of ivory lace, made with long sleeves and wing draperies from the shoulders. A tulle veil fell from a wreath of orange blos­ som, and a sheaf of stephanotis and frangipanni was carried. Frocks of white French georgette were worn by the bridesmaids, Miss Babs Gill and Miss Nan Fenwicke, Who added green plaited coronets and shoes and carried trailing bouquets of green flowers. Mr. Brian Shaw attended the bridegroom as best man, and Mr. Alan Wauch was groomsman. (1934)

How Should Our School­ girls Dress? CHANGES IN ENGLAND.

Individual

day-frocks

worn with school hats and

hatbands.

Until a few weeks ago we had all settled down, comfortably or uncomfortably as our case might be, secure in the belief that fashions come ind fashions go, but that the school uniform for girls would go on forever. It seems, however, that we Were wrong, for a recent letter from our London correspondent informed us that in Eng­ land many well-known girls' schools are re­ nouncing the tunic and blazer and permitting their pupils to wear whatever frocks please their in­ dividual tastes. E learn that in England Mayfair mothers have won a signal victory; that, in some cases, the frocking of their daughters is now left entirely to them, and in others that soft pastel shades of blue and pink are replacing the present uncompro­ mising blacks and browns and navys in schools where uniforms are to be retained. We read that black stockings are giving way to beige and fleshcoloured ones, that hats are no longer to be of the helmet or shovel variety, and that pretty belts .and buttons and suchlike trimmings are being introduced so very attractive—rose-pinks and powder-blues, bright floral prints and cambrics, hats that approximate to the current fashions for headgear of "grown­ ups"—that "feminine" touch instead of baggy pleated tunics or killed skirts, mas­ culine blouses and ties, blazers and "ser­ viceable" school shoes. Attractive, yes, but is the change a practical one? When we ask our­ selves this question we must take into con­ sideration the differ­ ence between Eng­ lish and Australian conditions before we make an answer. It is true that we look to England for

our guidance in many matters, and that she still represents our arbiter of fashion and custom. Nevertheless, Australia is not England, in the sense that her climate, her general make-up, her social organisation, and her his­ tory are different. Presumably a sunny climate and a carefree atmosphere breed an Australian schoolgirl who is full of healthy, hearty vitality. How would her pink and pale blue uniforms, or her floral print frocks look after a day's wear and tear on her vigorous, happy-go-lucky person? The opinions of several well-known headmis­ tresses of Sydney schools have been sought in the matter, and they are all, with certain reservations, in favour of the uniform rather than individual frocking. Miss Nancy Jobson gave several cogent arguments for and against, and looked at the matter from every angle. She remarked upon the unattractive styles of many Sydney schools' uni­ forms, and compared them with the pretty and simple frocks obtainable for girls to-day. This fact, as she pointed out, often caused the pupil to lose interest in her uniform; she did not care how it looked, and would wear a hat (particularly a hat) in a state of dilapidation that would horrify her if the hat were not a uniform one. The "sloppy" type of tunic, too, said Miss Jobson, caused some girls to look so shapeless that they lost interest in their carriage and simply shimped. "And the

wearing of uniforms has never taught a girl how to dress," she added. The uniform provided no guidance for her, and when she left school she often bought the most unsuitable and exag­ gerated clothes. But in spite of these adverse arguments, Miss Jobson said that, in her opinion, uniforms were most suitable for Aus­ tralian girls' schools, be­ cause of those very dif­ ferent conditions which we have mentioned. The uniform prevented the g i r l whose parents were of moderate means from feeling "out of it" when she saw the daughter of rich parents wear a different pretty frock to school every day for weeks on end. And the uniform, too, served to promote a feeling of camaraderie among the particular girls who wore it. However, Miss Jobson suggested a compromise for boarding schools, by which the pupils might be allowed to wear individual frocks to dinner, and, perhaps, when go­ ing out in a body to concerts or theatres in the city. More or less individual frocks are already permitted for dinner wear at some Sydney boarding schools, and the custom might be extended to general usage. Miss Jean Cheriton thought that individual frocks might replace uniforms when the girls were going to church in a body, but she thought that even in this case the girls should retain their school hatbands as a distinguishing mark. On the whole, she was in favour of uniforms, but thought they should be made as attractive as possible, so that the wearers would be proud of them and keep them in good order. In her experience she had found that most girls liked wearing them, although they were glad enough to don individual clothes when the holidays came. Miss E. F. Saunders said that, personally, she would be very sorry to see uniforms go, as, in her opinion, they constituted an inspiration to esprit de corps among the girls who wore them. The modern girl was already a little over-keen on dress and fashions, and to allow her her own taste in dress­ ing might encourage her interest in these channels

boarding-

to grow beyond the bounds it deserved. Not only this, but girls would enjoy wearing their own clothes the more when the holidays came along than if they had been wearing them all the year round. Many girls had not naturally very good taste in dress, and uniforms acted as a check on those who would otherwise wear unsuitable frocks to school. Two parents were consulted for their opinions in the matter. One. who has a schoolgirl daughter of about six years of age, said that she thought uniforms constituted an unnecessary expense. Very young children had no idea of how to keep them neat, so when they came home from a day school in the afternoon they had to change back into their own individual play-clothes. This necessi­ tated two sets of garments—one of school uniforms, and the other a number of play-clothes which did not get dirty or crushed as easily as the uniforms.

The other, whose daughters were much older, said that she was in favour of uniforms for several reasons. One of these was that they removed the element of competition in dress which would neces­ sarily arise in schools where the pupils' parents were of unequal means. She thought that uniforms were economical, because a mother knew exactly what outlay she was expected to make when she sent her daughter to school. She thought, too, that the girls themselves were grateful for not having to worry about which dress they should wear each day, and that they appreciated their own clothes more when they left school. So for the sake of this minority, for the sake of the majority who find that they would not be able to produce as great a variety of indivi­ dual frocks as would others of larger means, and for the sake of the hundreds of schoolgirls who find a certain comfort in the feeling that they are wearing the same clothes as others, and take a pride in the fact that, in symbolic fashion, those clothes represent their school, it might be as welt to retain the badge of servitude. A little individual choice might be permitted in frocks that would be worn by schoolgirls on special occasions, but, on the whole, most people seem to be in favour of its going no farther than that. After all, nearly everyone admires the spectacle of uniformed soldiers—why should they not admire the spectacle of uniformed schoolgirls? If school uniforms are, as far as possible, designed in accordance with fashion, and chosen with a view to some prettiness as well as usefulness, there should be no diffi in doing so. -M.P

The Headmistress, Kambala College, Rose Bay Dear Madam, We are enclosing herewith what we hope you will consider a very fine aerial view of your College. We thought perhaps many of the scholars might wish to purchase a photograph of their School and we are submitting a size, 6 x 8 , which we could supply at 2/6d each, provided at least 6 were ordered, or at 2/- if 100 or more were ordered. If the College wished to have an enlargement for display purposes the cost would be £l/l/-. We hope this will appeal to you as we believe every student has a tremendous admiration for the College they attend and every photograph which circulates must of necessity have some beneficial results. If required the school could be enlarged, and part of the surroundings cut out from the photograph. Trusting that you will be interested. Yours faithfully, AIR CENTRE B. Jones? May we suggest if you are not interested that your office return the print to us. We are enclosing a stamp in case required.

Kambala Dance. E X - S T U D E N T S ENTERTAIN So charming were the frocks worn by those who attended the Kampala Old Girls' Union annual dance last night, that the rooms at the Forum Club, where the dance was held, were adequately decorated with a simple dis­ play of pennants and autumn-tinted chry­ santhemums, forming a background for the colourful dressing. Miss Gwynneth Love, president of the union, entertained The official party. She wore a gown of pale blue moss crepe, which was tucked from the shoulder to the hem­ line. Her guests included Miss Marie Saywell and Miss Lindsay Monteith. Miss Kath­ leen Woodhill, wearing heavy China blue lace, entertained the Misses Enid Halloran, Patricia Pring, and Jean Woodhill.

SCHOOLS S.M Herald 12.11.36

Shirley and Kambala TO COMBINE. SHIRLEY School at Edgecliff, which is one of the oldest girls' schools in the State, is to be incorporated at the end of the year with Kambala School for Girls at Rose Bay. From 1865 to 1885, Shir­ ley was one of the leading girls' schools of Sydney, and was controlled by the Misses Hardy, and later by the Misses McCormack. Later it ceased to be a girls' school, and the building was used as a house for Sydney Grammar School boys, under Mr. A. Giles. In 1900 it was re-established by the Misses Hodge and Newcowleas a training college for teachers, and a girls' school. Mrs. E. F. Saunders, the present principal, was appointed first assistant mistress, a position which she held until 1908, when she bought Ailanthus School, at Potts Point.

PURCHASED SHIRLEY. In 1912, Miss Saunders also purchased Shir­ ley, and combined the two schools at Shirley The school's record in sport and scholarship has been a good one, and at the last Leaving Certificate examinations two university ex­ hibitions were won by pupils. As Miss Saunders wishes to retire and to travel she has decided to give up the school which will be transferred to Kambala. This school also has a fine record. It was founded in 1887 by Miss Gurney and Mlle. Soubeiran, and was subsequently conducted by Misses C and M. Roseby. In 1927 it was established as a foundation school under the auspices of the Church of England, and is governed by a council which is at present planning ad­ ditions to the school.

SENIOR A BASKET BALL TEAM 1936 MOLLIE WALKER = MISS D HYDE

The tour was arranged and conducted by Jean Garling... a lady well versed in the history of the area. Her family had lived in the area many years ago. She was a descendant of Fred Garling, the first appoinied free solicitor in the Colony. He arrived after 13 months voyage having been captured by an American Privateer We set off from Sydney Cove where the first flag was raised. Governor Phillip dissatisfied with the shelter that Botany Bay afforded the ships of the First Fleet, surveyed Port Jackson with its many land-locked coves and "fixed on the one that had the best spring of water in which the ships can anchor — close to the shore", as he himself noted. He chose well. Throughout the racing decades, Sydney Cove has coped with an increasing traffic and it has never proved inadequate as a nerve centre of a continent. It was difficult to negotiate. Its massive trees were rooted to sandstone outcrops, caved and crevassed. The wind had carved great hollows in its flanks and the hollows were backed and roofed in deep relief in intricate designs of a peculiar beauty, lost now, because with so many ships sailing empty from the unproductive land, to pick up cargoes in China and the East Indies, nearly all the patterned overhang was lopped to provide the most convenient ballast. But the east arm of the Cove was a tangle of mangroves and at the head where the Tank Stream discharged its limpid flow, the superior land invited the establishment of the administrative quarters. Governor Phillip brought his pre-fabricated house out, which was erected near the Tank Stream. The tents for the men and women convicts were set up in two blocks at the south end of The Rocks. At the point which today is the southern end of the Overseas Terminal at Circular Quay, a bakehouse and oven were set up and behind them a hospital and garden. And on top of the hill a battery, and, in a short time a windmill, the whole thing being under the scrutiny of an outpost of the guard. Where the Maritime Services Board is today, was a timber yard. This was all in the hands of the military and there was no private enterprise. Our first point of interest was a visit to Cadman's Cottage, Sydney's oldest extant building, named for John Cadman who occupied it in 1816 and later became Superintendant of Government Boats at the dockyard. Cadman was its first resident. It was occupied by the Water Police in 1847 and then the Sailor's Home Trust acquired it later. Cadman was originally a convict with a minor offence. When Cadman lived there the water came right up to the door. We saw the Coroner's Court where the President of Sydney Cove is using the premises. We journeyed along to Atherton Place, which is a tiny cul de sac terminated by the sandstone cliff at the top of which, out of sight, a loop of Gloucester Street lies bounded by York Street at both ends. The other end of Atherton Place is in Playfair Street near its junction with George Street. The old cottages around here are being preserved and also the Mining Museum. The terrain of this area is crag to crag. Just near here is Kendall Lane —

We journeyed on to Argyle Street where we saw houses built on shelves of rock; hence the name of the area being called "The Rocks", due to its rugged sandstone terrain and huge rocky outcrops. Here we saw the original Customs House Store, MacMahon's Bond which has been converted into the "Argyle Tavern" — a very attractive restaurant, and Mary Reiby's coffee shop and the Argyle Arts Centre where many arts and crafts are made and displayed. We then came to Harrington Street known as the old "Suez Canal" with its row of cottages with their small doors. We passed a Pottery School which is typical of the crafts that are being taught and made in the Rocks area.

A walk around "The Rocks" by Nina

Barden

We passed Brown Bear Lane and the Globe Hotel where Jean pointed out the Widows' Walk where the wives of husbands who went to sea, used to walk up and down awaiting their return and as we well know, these men did not always return from the sea. We journeyed on to Essex Street. Jean pointed out to us "The Hole in the Wall" in Essex Street where people of bygone days used to peer through and watch the hangings of the day. This is just a few yards south of the point where the Quay Railway now emerges from the tunnelled hillside and it was here that Thomas Barrett was hanged for the theft of beef and peas, the property of the Crown. Barrett, described as an "old and desperate offender" was in reality, a young man and his skills might have been useful to the infant colony, for he had earlier manufactured a number of excellent quarter dollars from old pewter spoons. The tree on which Barrett was hanged was used for some years and the hill where Essex Street crosses Harrington St, was known as Gallows Hill. We noted many gaps in the terrain (no buildings) and this was due to the Bubonic Plague in 1901 when buildings were demolished to clean out the rats. Essex Lane was picturesque with its old pulley lines and chimney pots, its tenement houses overlooking Cahill Expressway — the old and the new standing almost side by side. There was a quaint Georgian House there, which will be preserved, looking stately with its white Georgian columns. We walked along George St North passing Susannah Street which will be pulled down and where the trams used to run, Gloucester Street and through Argyle Cut which connected Circular and Millers Point.

was completed about 1859 and although a public road, was a hazard to a stranger abroad at night, as robbers would hide there, rob their victim and cast him from the precipitous walls of the cutting or one of the bridges that spanned it. We then visited The Garrison Church, the Holy Trinity Church of Miller's Point. It was the first official garrison church in Australia and the services were regularly attended by the personnel of Dawes Point Battery. It was in the hall attached that young Edmund Barton received his education. The church was one of the earliest Australian works of architect Edmund Thomas Blacket who reached the colony in 1842 and was appointed Diocesan Architect in 1847. This was therefore the earliest example of Australian Gothic architecture. The minister received 100.00 pounds per year. The National Trust has now taken over this building, which is a picturesque landmark of The Rocks. After our long walk through this interesting area we were all feeling a little thirsty and were pleased to sit down at the romantic old "pub", "The Hero of Waterloo,", which was built in 1804, and we were pleased to learn that this building will remain. Originally, this hotel was an army garrison in Windmill Street, and here we were able to see in the cellars below evidence of its origin with the chains on the wall to which the offending prisoners were held. The floor was the original and well preserved. The Ironwork around the hotel came as ballast in the ships and the doors had interesting door knobs. We then journeyed along Lower Fort Street where we saw the original colonial museum which is now the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, and a number of dignified terrace houses, Argyll Place, the Lord Nelson — the oldest of Sydney's hotels, Millers Point Post Office (where we saw the oldest letter box) and then to the back of Kent Street Here we saw the old meeting the new again with I.B.M. and Esso buildings towering up in our city beyond this little world of yesterday. We even saw a house called "Shirley" and we noted the fire marks on i t Unless insured you were not saved by the Fire Brigade and these marks indicated that you were insured. We saw Mori's house — the founder of Mort's dock. Mort was a merchant of some repute and came to this country as a stonemason. We then went on to Observatory Hill. Here the first mill was built (. . . prior to it being built the convicts had to treadmill the grain.) We went on to Argyle Street — to Argyll Place Park where we saw the old gas light which was presented to the City of Sydney by the Australian Gaslight Co. to commemorate the Rocks Annual Celebration in 1972. We noted the tablet indicating the Mayor in 1966 who was John Sutton and scanned the Argyle Stairs. (I say "scanned" because at this stage we were all too tired to climb them, although we all felt it was so worthwhile to join in on this interesting tour of "The Rocks". "The Rocks" contains an interesting Market Place, where numerous Antique shops and other businesses such as leatherwork, ceramics, arts and crafts, etc. have set up. The Antique Market is open seven days a week and attracts many visitors on weekends.

Ex-Students Meet

EX-STUDENTS of Kambala School and their friends gathered at the Pickwick Club yesterday afternoon for a bridge part, held to raise money for the upkeep of the Kambala Cot at the children's Hospital. The party was arranged by Misses Barker (President) and Marjorie Collins (hon. secetary), and Marjorie the players were the Misses Betty Walker, Lucille Dupain, Faith Osborne, Shirley Bruch

A huge mystery" bon-bon in the school colours of grey and gold provided much in­ terest and excitement at the State Ballroom last night, when the Parents and Friends' Association of Kambala School held its annual bal1. The mystery was not solved until midnight, when the bon-bon was the sub­ ject of a "Dutch" auction, and the purchaser was found to be the owner of six pounds of Autumn-tinted foliage and golden daffodils decorated the tables in the ballroom, and the headmistress. Miss Fifi Hawthorne, who wore golden-brown velvet relieved with touches of gold lame, was presented with a bouquet in autumn tints and tied with ribbons in the school colurs.

It is our great opportunity of letting him know how gladly we accept him as our Sovereign and how loyally we hold by all that the Crown means to us. I hope that you will remember this day and that each of you will make up your mind to do something to help King George VI to have a happy and glorious reign.

A Thanksgiving Service will be held i n the S c h o o l Hall for the C o m p l e t i o n o f the School's Fiftieth Year, and. the New Building will be officially opened by T h e Rt. Rev. C. V e n n Pilcher, D.D., Bishop-Coadjutor of Sydney. R. S. V. P. by 20th October.

History of Kambala Describing the history of the school,, Mr. Minter said that just prior to Easter, 1864, some friends requested Miss Gurney j to care for their daughters during the parents absence on a trip to England This led to Miss Gurney starting a small school a t a property known as Formbank." Edgecliif Road. Mademoiselle Soubeiran taught the girls F r e n c h . Towards the end of 1886 the school had grown to such an extent that a larger house became necessary. Miss Gurney and Mile Soubeiran entered into partnership and in 1887-1892 rose as the new site for their school Kambala," at that time one of the only three houses at Bellevue Hill, and one of the biggest, if not the biggest, home in Sydney. It is interesting to record that Miss Gurney and M'lle Soubeiran founded inter-school sports matches. At Fernbank a tennis match was arranged and played against Ascham, this be­ ing the first inter-school match on record. Both Miss Gurney and M'lle Soubeiran were told by many that it was most unwomanly for girts to compete in sport and feeling a t the time ran very high. Miss Gurney and M'lle Soubeiran carried on at Kambala until 1913 when they moved to the present property, tak­ ing the name, "Kambala," with them. In July, 1914, Miss Gurney and Mile. Soubeiran handed over the school to t h e Misses Roseby, at which time there were slightly over fifty girls enrolled. I n 1923 the property came on to the market and the Misses Roseby conceived the Idea of turning it into a church school. Ob­ taining the assistance of men like Arch­ deacon D'Arcy Irvine, Rev. Howard Lea, Mr. A. V. Hilliard, Sir Samuel Hordem, Professor David, Prof. M. W. MoCallum," Sir Kelso King, Mr. W. C. Wentworth, Mr. E. J. Watt, Mr. Lionel Manchee, Mr. J. M. Forsayth, and many others, the project was launched. A company was regi'rtered in August, 1926, the first meet-, ing of the council was held on 11th Oc­ tober, 1926, and the actual purchase .from the Misses Roseby of the school property was finalised on 24th January, 1927.

PRAYERS FOR ALL TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. Almighty God, from Whom cometh wisdom and understanding, we beseech Thee with Thy gracious favour to behold all Universities, Colleges and Schools, that the confines of knowledge may be ever enlarged, and all good learning flourish and abound; bless all who teach and all who learn; and grant that both teachers and learners in humility of heart may look ever upward unto Thee, the Fountain of all wisdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen. Grant to us, O Lord, to know that which is worth knowing, to love that which is worth loving, to praise that which pleaseth Thee most, to esteem that which is most precious unto Thee, and to dislike whatspoyer is evil in Thine eyes. Grant us with true judgment to distinguish that differ and above all to search out and to do what is well pleasing unto Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what He gives And praise Him still, Through good and ill, W h o ever lives!

Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's F a c e , His praises sound, As in His light W i t h sweet delight Y e do abound.

My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above, And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days Till life shall end Whatever He send, Be fill'd with praise.

Amen.

For the councillors and benefactors through whose wisdom generosity opportunities have been given for the development of character. We thank Thee, O God.

PRAYER FOR FORMER S T U D E N T S . O Lord Jesus Christ, Who hast taught us that unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required, grant that those who have been taught here in Thy faith and love may live for Thy glory and the benefit of mankind.

Let us then remember how it is written : "Except the Lord build the house, their labour is but lost that build it ; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain" ; and let us implore the blessing of Almighty God on th:s our undertaking.

M O S T gracious Lord G o d , whose throne is the heaven of heavens, and the earth T h y footstool, lock down, we beseech T h e e , from T h y dwelling-place on high, and bless the undertaking of T h y humble servants. W e knew, O Lord, that without T h e e our works are in vain ; and that unless T h o u build the house their labour is but lost that build it. Prevent us, therefore, in all our doings with T h y most gracious favour, and further us with T h y continual help, in carrying on the work which we desire this day to begin in T h e e , and in the Name of T h y Blessed Son. Bring it, if it be T h y good pleasure, to a happy completion ; and so send down T h y grace and benediction upon all who shall engage in CI promote it, that Thy sanctuary may be to them the House o f God and the gate of Heaven. Graft in our hearts the love of T h y Name ; increase in us true religion ; nourish us with all goodness, and of T h y great mercy keep us in the same. Give us grace, we beseech T h e e , so to follow the good example of T h y servants, departed this life in T h y faith and fear, that with them we may be partakers of T h y heavenly kingdom. Grant this, O merciful Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ ; W h o with T h e e and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth ever one God, world without end. Amen. BENEDICTION. RECESSIONAL HYMN.

A FORM OF DIVINE SERVICE 5 When all have taken their places the Hymn shall be sung: A L L people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him, and rejoice. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, Without our aid he did us make; W e are his folk, he doth us feed, And for his sheep he doth us take. O enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto;

following

Praise, laud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do. For why, the Lord our God is good: His mercy is for ever sure; His trust at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom heaven and earth adore, From men and from the angel-host Be praise and glory evermore.

5 Then shall the Minister say, and the people standing shall answer, as follows: The King shall rejoice in thy strength, O Lord; Exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation. O Lord, open thou our lips; And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. O God, make speed to save us; O Lord, make haste to help us. Glory be to the Father, and to the S o n : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. Praise ye the L o r d ; The Lord's name be praised. Then shall be sung the Psalms following, VENITE, EXULTEMUS C O M E , let us sing unto the Lord : let us heartily re­ joice in the strength of our salva­ tion. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving : and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms. F o r the Lord is a great God : and a great King above all gods.

F o r he is the Lord our God : and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Glory be to the Father, and

to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; A s it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

Amen. 5 Then, all being seated, the following Lessons from the Old and New Testaments shall be read, the reader first saying, H e a r these words taken from the Holy Scriptures reminding us of the allegiance that we owe to the King of Kings. H E L O R D O U R G O D be with us, as he was with our fathers : let him not leave us, nor forsake u s : that he may incline our hearts u n t o him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgements, which he commanded our fathers. A n d let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require : that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord, he is G o d ; there is none else. Let your heart therefore be perfect with the L o r d our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the Lord. I Kings 8. 57-62 IN nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things 3

are honourable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4. 6-8 THE

ANTHEM

5 Then shall be sung either of the Hymns following. ' The King, O God, his heart to thee upraiseth' (p. 7) or ' Thy kingdom come! (p. 8 ) Here may follow an Address, bidding the people make ready for the Hallowing of their King. 5 The Address ended, either of the Hymns following shall be sung, during which offerings will be collected. ' O G o d of Jacob' (p. 8 ) or ' Lord, while for all mankind we pray' (p. 8 ) Then, all still standing, the Minister shall turn to the people and say. R E T H R E N , let us now lift up our hearts in prayer to God that B he may so bless our King and Queen that they may ever be a blessing to their people, and, because righteousness exalteth a nation, let us humbly pledge ourselves anew to the service of God and of our country in the days that are to come, that so, abhorring that which is evil and cleaving to that which is good, we may establish our nation and Empire on the sure foundation of God and of his kingdom of justice, righteousness, and peace. Then, all reverently kneeling, the following Suffrages and Prayers shall be said. O Lord, shew thy mercy upon us; And grant us thy salvation. O Lord, save the King; Who putteth his trust in thee. Send him help from thy holy place; And evermore mightily defend him. Be unto him, O Lord, a strong tower; From the face of his enemies. Endue thy ministers with righteousness; And make thy chosen people joyful. O Lord, save thy people; And bless thine inheritance. 4

Give peace in our time, O Lord; Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God. O Lord, hear our prayer; And let our cry come unto thee. who providest for thy people by thy power, and rulest O GOD, over them in love: Vouchsafe so to bless thy servant our King, that under him this nation may be wisely governed, and thy Church may serve thee in all godly quietness; and grant that he being devoted to thee with his whole heart, and persevering in good works unto the end, may, by thy guidance, come to thine everlasting king­ dom; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. D O U R GOD, who upholdest and governest all things by O LtheO Rword of thy power: Receive our humble prayers for our Sovereign Lord, GEORGE, set over us by thy grace and providence to be our King; and, together with him, bless, we beseech thee, our gracious Queen ELIZABETH, Mary the Queen Mother, the Princess Elizabeth, and all the Royal Family; that they, ever trust­ ing in thy goodness, protected by thy power, and crowned with thy gracious and endless favour, may long continue before thee in peace and safety, joy and honour, and after death may obtain everlasting life and glory; by the merits and mediation of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth ever one God, world without end. Amen. A L M I G H T Y GOD, who rulest in the kingdom of men, and hast given to our Sovereign Lord, King GEORGE, a great dominion in all parts of the earth: Draw together, we pray thee, in true fellow­ ship the men of divers races, languages, and customs, who dwell therein, that, bearing one another's burdens, and working together in brotherly concord, they may fulfil the purpose of thy providence, and set forward thy everlasting kingdom. Pardon, we beseech thee, our sins and shortcomings : keep far from us all selfishness and pride: and give us grace to employ thy good gifts of order and free­ dom to thy glory and the welfare of mankind; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be all glory and dominion, world without end. Amen. GOD, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Saviour, O the Prince of Peace: Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly 5

union and concord: that, as there is but one Body, and one Spirit, and one hope of our calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may henceforth be all of one heart, and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

L

O R D of all power and might, who art the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of thy name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep us in the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 5 Then shall the Minister say: Let us now thank God for his manifold mercies vouchsafed to this realm and people in years past. Then shall all join in saying T H E GENERAL THANKSGIVING

A

L M I G H T Y GOD, Father of all mercies, We thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks For all thy goodness and loving-kindness To us, and to all men; We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; But above all, for thine inestimable love In the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; For the means of grace, And for the hope of glory. And, we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, That our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, And that we shew forth thy praise, Not only with our lips, but in our lives; By giving up ourselves to thy service, And by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen. Then shall the people join with the Minister in the Lord's Prayer, he first saying, Finally, let us gather up these our Prayers and Thanksgivings in the words which our Saviour Christ hath taught us, saying:

O

U R F A T H E R , which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done; In earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our tres­ passes, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil: For thine is the king­ dom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

T

H E grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen. 6

Then shall be sung the Hymn

C

I T Y of God, how broad and far Outspread thy walls sublime! The true thy chartered freemen are Of every age and clime.

One holy Church, one army strong, One steadfast, high intent; One working band, one harvest-song, One King omnipotent. H o w purely hath thy speech come down F r o m man's primeval youth !

following.

How grandly hath thine empire grown Of freedom, love, and truth ! H o w gleam thy watch-fires through the night With never-fainting ray ! How rise thy towers, serene and bright, T o meet the dawning day ! In vain the surge's angry shock, In vain the drifting sands: Unharmed upon the eternal Rock The eternal City stands.

Then, all kneeling, the B L E S S I N G shall be given, after which, all standing, shall be sung the first and third verses of the NATIONAL ANTHEM. T h y choicest gifts in store On him be pleased to pour, Long may he reign. May he defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the King !

G

O D save our gracious King, Long live our noble King, God save the King ! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us; God save the King !

HYMNS

T

HE KING, O GOD, his heart to thee upraiseth; With him the nation bows before thy face; W i t h high thanksgiving thee thy glad Church praiseth, Our strength thy spirit, our trust and hope thy grace. Unto great honour, glory undeserved, Hast thou exalted us, and drawn thee nigh; Nor, from thy judgements when our feet had swerved, Didst thou forsake, nor leave us, L o r d most high. Unto our minds give freedom and uprightness; Let strength and courage lead o'er land and wave; To our souls' armour grant celestial brightness, Toy to our hearts, and faith beyond the grave. Our plenteous nation still in power extending, Increase our joy, uphold us by thy W o r d ; Beauty and wisdom all our ways attending, Goodwill to man and peace through Christ our L o r d .

H Y kingdom cornel on bended knee The passing ages pray; And faithful souls have yearned to see On earth that kingdom's day

But the slow watches of the night Not less to God belong; And for the everlasting right The silent stars are strong. And lo, already on the hills The flags of dawn appear;

Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls, Proclaim the day is n e a r : The day in whose clear-shining light All wrong shall stand revealed, When justice shall be throned in might, And every hurt be healed; When knowledge, hand in hand with peace, Shall walk the earth abroad;— The day of perfect righteousness, The promised day of God.

O

GOD of Jacob, by whose hand Thy people still are fed, Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led;

Through each perplexing path of life Our wandering footsteps guide; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide.

Our vows, our prayers, we now pre­ sent Before thy throne of grace; God of our fathers, be the God Of their succeeding race.

O spread thy covering wings around, Till all our wanderings cease, And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace.

L

ORD, while for all mankind we pray Of every clime and coast, O hear us for our native land, The land we love the most.

Unite us in the sacred love Of knowledge, truth, and thee; And let our hills and valleys shout The songs of liberty.

O guard our shores from every foe; With peace our borders bless; With prosperous times our cities crown, Our fields with plenteousness.

Lord of the nations, thus to thee Our country we commend; Be thou her refuge and her trust, Her everlasting friend.

O School we love, to-day with joy we're singing, Hope in our hearts that we may always be Witnesses true of ideals upward winging: Esto sol .testis. Here we have learned the worth of true endeavour; All through our lives, O may our light shine clear, May we inspire those following, forever: Esto sol testis. Our paths may scatter o'er the world's wide spaces, Our lot be great or infinitely small; Still truth and love will leave abiding traces: Esto sol testis. Fair hill of flowers, where dwells our secret treasure, Courage and strength were born in schooldays here; Swell then our song, our song of joyous measure: Esto sol testis.

The spacious Ansett Sandringham flying boats have been operating out of ROSE Bay since 1 9 5 3 . when Barrier Reef Airways the Trans Oceanic merged with Ansett and the company commenced a regular-scheduled flight to Lord Howe Island. As early as 1938 Rose Bay was Sydney's Water Air­ port.

In those days TEAL and QANTAS operated flights across the Tasman to New Zealand and BOAC flying boats used Rose bay as a scheduled stop on their way through to England. BOAC continued to use Rose Bay facilities until 1949 Ansett can boast the only flying boat service in Aus­ tralia.

O School we love, to-day with joy we're singing, Hope in our hearts that we may always be Witnesses true of ideals upward winging: Esto sol testis. Here we have learned the worth of true endeavour; All through our lives, O may our light shine clear, May we inspire those following, forever: Esto sol testis. Our paths may scatter o'er the world's wide spaces, Our lot be great or infinitely small; Still truth and love will leave abiding traces: Esto sol testis. Fair hill of flowers, where dwells our secret treasure, Courage and strength were born in schooldays here; Swell then our song, our song of joyous measure: Esto sol testis.

A NEED FOR EQUALITY IN STATE EDUCATION machine—$240 worth— out of the Commonwealths Library g r a n t It doesn't matter that this machine is the third to be received by the school. T h e first was bought by the principal, the second provided by the P and C . It doesn't matter that the $240 would have been better spent on library books. T h e alloca­ tion is for a copying machine, and a copying machine is what the school gets.

A case of bare essentials

At an inner city primary school, the headmistress sells potato chips during her lunch hour to raise money for the sewing class.

A t a second primary school — this one on the western fringe o f the m e t ­ r o p o l i t a n a r e a — o n e o f the most modern school library buildings in the State, erected five years ago, is almost d e v o i d o f books. A t a m e t r o p o l i t a n girls' high school, o n e t e x t b o o k — an English n o v e l — is shared by three students. Obviously you don't h a v e t o attend an ex­ pensive private school t o be considered " p r i v i l e g e d " as far as education is c o n ­ cerned.

PRIVILEGE P r i v i l e g e exists to a m a r k e d d e g r e e within the so-called '"free" State school education system, and opportunity depends largely o n parental ability, o r inclination, t o pay f o r it It doesn't take much delving into the State school system t o see that the onus is o n y o u n g John­ ny's parents t o h e l p p r o ­ v i d e a stimulating e n v i r o n ­ m e n t in the c l a s s r o o m as w e l l as at h o m e , and that y o u n g Johnny's scholastic progress m a y w e l l d e p e n d

By MARJORIE BELESSIS on h o w d e e p l y M u m and D a d can afford to dig into their pockets t o p r o v i d e that stimulus. E v e r y y e a r Parents and C i t i z e n s ' A s s o c i a t i o n s are asked to p r o v i d e most o f the money to satisfy increasing demands for c o m p l e x educational equipment. M r s B . S. Backhouse, President of the F e d e r ation Citizens" Associations, N.S.W. explained how the "system" o f government dependence on parental interest w o r k e d against the students in l o w e r i n c o m e areas. " A t present, the D e p a r t ­ ment p r o v i d e s the build­ ings, inside seating a c c o m ­ modation, and certain basic e q u i p m e n t , " she said. " T h e P r i n c i p a l gets an a l l o w a n c e w h i c h is based on annual per capita rate o f $2.75 p e r student in p r i m a r y schools and $3.50 in secondary schools. " O u t o f this he has t o buy things like doormats, stationery, chalk, garden­ ing equipment, toilet paper and exercise b o o k s at primary level. "The P . and C . p r o ­ vides v i r t u a l l y all teaching aids such as m o v i e project­ ors, r e c o r d players, sewing machines, and arts and crafts materials.

" I t also buys all library books. "A government subsidy on a per capita rating operates here, but since the books have t o be pur­ chased before the subsidy can be handed o v e r to the school, the school in the l o w e r income area suffers because o f the difficulty in raising the purchase m o n e y in the first place."

MICROSCOPES M r s Backhouse said she had seen central schools, which terminate at fourth form, provided with equip­ ment — like highly sensi­ tised microscopes — which was used only in fifth and sixth forms. "I have seen refrig­ erators, large enough to meet the needs of a family of five, supplied to schools to store work done in biology experiments. These items are necessary pieces of equipment, but not of such magnitude.

MAINTENANCE Mrs Backhouse said m o n e y raised by parents was also needed for the maintenance o f the school grounds, the purchase o f all playground equipment, sports uniforms, records f o r musical appreciation, and equipment in the in­ fants schools. " A s the needs increase, so the lower i n c o m e area schools fall further behind." She said the Department o f Education did m a k e a special a l l o w a n c e t o help w i t h equipment in cases w h e r e there was n o par­ ents' organisation o r o n l y a w e a k one. A n d schools with A b o r i ­ ginal students w e r e n o w entitled to a Department of Child Welfare allow­ ance o f $5 per head in lieu of the parents' contri­ bution where A b o r i g i n a l families could not p r o v i d e it

MRS B. S. BACKHOUSE " T h i s is a step in the right direction, but I w o u l d like to see this extended in all cases o f Need, whether the children are A b o r i g i n a l or white, so m a t each child has equal­ ity o f education as far as equipment is concerned," she said. A t the secondary school level, it b e c o m e s even harder t o b r i d g e the equal­ ity g a p b e t w e e n affluent and l o w i n c o m e areas. It is at this level that Mrs Backhouse believes

t h e Commonwealth Government, through its Science and Library grants, could d o a better job. Take these cases: Selected secondary schools are allocated tele­ scopes as part o f the Science g r a n t T h e tele­ scopes, h o w e v e r , can o n l y be used at night, w h e n the students and staff have gone home and the schools are closed. Another school gets

a

secondary copying

Mrs Backhouse said arbitrary allocations of equipment without con­ sultation with the schools concerned, as shown by these examples, meant that this was public money down the drain. "One of the biggest headaches is the provision of textbooks, often result­ ing in an annual bill of $10,000," she said. A Government allow­ ance is provided for text­ books at secondary school level, but the bulk of the money is raised through the parents' organisations and the levying of annual fees, which usually increase as the student proceeds to higher forms. The

Federation

con­

ducted a survey of school fees charged at secondary schools throughout the State about two years ago and ascertained that the highest fee charged was $25 for sixth form students at one metropoli­ tan high school. The average fee was about $6 per head in country schools and $9 per head in the metropolitan area. However, parents can­ not be compelled to pay school fees. A t the girls' school where three students were sharing the one textbook, it was learned that only 54 per cent of students' parents paid the annual levy of $5. The question of estab­ lishing a pool f o r funds to help out schools with poor parental assistance had been raised in the past, but this was not possible, as the constitution of each P. and C . Association laid d o w n that money raised by that association must be spent on equipment for the school to which it was attached. M r s Backhouse said the federation looked to the day when parents' organi­ sations did not have to raise the massive sums of money they were raising now, when they purely provided luxuries and when a minimum standard was set for schools to be maintained by the Educa­ tion Department. But that day was a long way off. In the meantime, how­ ever, much could be done to attract community interest in the school, and possibly raise additional funds, by using the build­ ings and the grounds for community activities at weekends and after normal school hours.

WOOLLAHRA'S FIRST WOMAN DEPUTY MAYOR IN 115 YEARS

Ladv In The Chair Made Area History

History was made at Woollahra Council's meeting last week when Aid Mrs B. S. Backhouse became the first woman in the municipality's 115-year history to chair a full formal council meeting. Aid Backhouse is only the th i rd woman to ever b e elected as an alderman of the council and the first to hold office as deputy mayor. She chaired last Mon day's council meeting because of the a b s e n c e of the Mayor, A i d J. W. O Brien. In a written Mayoral Minute tabled at the meet ing, Aid O'Brien said: "As a tribute by the council to In­ ternational W o m e n ' s Year and also to Aid B. S. Backhouse as the first lady to hold the office of deputy mayor of this council. I am absenting myself from the council meeting on Nov ember 24, to allow Aid Backhouse to take the chair. T h e Ordinance requires that I must take the chair, if

present, so I therefore ask the council to a c c e p t my apology for non-attendance on this special o c c a s i o n . Council received the minute without debate. Earlier, in formally open­ ing the meeting, Aid Backhouse thanked the Mayor for the privilege of being allowed to chair the meeting and said she was deeply conscious of the honour bestowed on her. Aid Backhouse joined the council in and is in her second term. First woman ever elected to the council was Mrs Belle Miller who was an alderman from 1962-72.

She was a special guest at last Monday night's meet­ ing and joined Aid Backhouse in a seat of honour at the official table. The second woman to serve as an alderman was Mrs Wendy Stephens, who held office from 1965 68. Special guests at the meeting included the Mayoress, Mrs J. W O'Brien, Mrs McDonald Holmes, Mrs Fisher, Miss Young and Mrs Holmes. At the end of the meeting, Aid G. J. J. O'Neill con­ gratulated Aid Backhouse on the manner in which she had handled the history meeting.

O School we love, to-day with joy we're singing, Hope in our hearts that we may always be Witnesses true of ideals upward winging: Esto sol testis. Here we have learned the worth of true endeavour; All through our lives, O may our light shine clear, May we inspire those following, forever: Esto sol testis. Our paths may scatter o'er the world's wide spaces, Our lot be great or infinitely small; Still truth and love will leave abiding traces: Esto sol testis. Fair hill of flowers, where dwells our secret treasure, Courage and strength were born in schooldays here; Swell then our song, our song of joyous measure: Esto sol testis.
