SWR ANNOUNCEMENT
The SWR is experimenting with new formats: headings, positioning etc.
We are proposing to put all sport on the last 2-3 pages, including fixtures for
the up-coming Saturday. School notices will be in the middle pages etc. If
anyone has any criticisms, objections or further ideas, please drop a note in
one of our boxes.

THE SPIAN
EDITORIAL
Welcome back to the usual term four: First to Third Form continue as
normal; Fourth Form starts their term of videos, sorry Fifth Form work;
Fifth Form starts the H.S.C. and is lectured on how to be Sixth Form; and
the Sixth Form have the "oh clear, I had better start really studying" holiday,
then their final exams that they have been working towards from about six
years of age, then most disappear from school altogether, at least for some
years anyway.
As school finishes the Sixth Form come to the end of the beginning and
move onto the beginning of the middle, their lives will change dramatically.
We like to complain about the inflexibility of the school (my Fourth Form
tutor group certainly does!), but after six years, one must come to rely on its
security to a certain extent. But while we can look back at all the years we
did (or didn't) enjoy we can look forward to something new, different and
exciting. Using the cliché, Sixth Formers are the big fish in a moderately
sized fish bowl, and after being educated about society for so long, when one
finally enters it, we are mere tadpoles in a relatively gigantic fish tank.
Oh, well.
Think optimistically, make the most of life, and society as possible
before and after one enters university, TAFE or a full-time job. The selfdisciplined life will return, but ultimately it is yourself who will determine
how dedicated you are to whatever you end up doing. With dedication comes
enjoyment and success, well sometimes, life is too complex to make simple
conclusions. Once we have left school, there is a whole world out there
waiting to be conquered (metaphorical, of course), and who knows how far a
dedicated tadpole could go in this 40,076 kilometre long tank?

GOOD LUCK
SIXTH FORM
I was fortunate enough to meet a barber during the holidays, well I didn't
really meet him, but anyway, I was told that he was actually from Seville.
Seville happens to be in Spain and it truly is a lovely place. Full of counts,
soldiers, doctors, wards, barbers, servant's, housekeepers - all in this one little
city.
To meet a barber, you may say, is a pretty ordinary thing and you
probably really have no idea of why or what I'm possibly talking about.
This Barber, though, is a very shrewd chap and by all accounts, as Neil
Kirkby told me could conjure up any sort of deal for any amount of money.
This of course is a good motivation to extend any person's imagination who
was in need of any financial success.
The Barber, named Figaro, met a young chap known as Count Almaviva
and he like all of us, fell in love with a girl who was a ward of Doctor
Bartolo. Almaviva agrees to pay Figaro money for his services to get the
ward, Rosina to meet him.
One problem is that the old doctor also wants to marry Rosina and has a
firm grasp over her. This story is truly enthralling and reaches far below the
depths of Melrose Place.
Unfortunately, I was so enthralled by this Opera that I thought that
instead of telling you the rest of the story, I should let any game volunteers
go and see it for yourself. If you're not quite convinced, let me just add, that
there involves a love letter, a catholic priest, a ladder for devious purposes,
clothes, alcohol, police and many more fantastic twists and turns which, in
fact will have you laughing in your seat.
It's called 'The Barber of Seville' and it is on at the Opera House and I
would strongly recommend any person, young or old to see it.

Recently, a published car report on the BMW 5-series said, "Strangely
claustrophobic, strangely anonymous car, but svelte new model en route.
Prestige: I star Out of five; Kerb Cred: nil, unless you're a vicar or Assistant
Housemaster at Shore" now, who could that be ... and what is so
prestigious about his car anyway...

Between September 11th and 13th this year the boys at Shore were
privileged to benefit from the visit of a distinguished writer-in-residence,
Gillian Rubinstein. The author of the award-winning Foxspell and the
popular Space Demons, as well as many other novels for young readers,
Gillian Rubinstein spoke to classes from Forms I, II and III - as well as the
Preparatory School - about her books, how she writes them and why she
started writing them. The boys found her an entertaining and informative
speaker, and Mrs. Rubinstein was equally delighted with them, particularly as
she is currently working on a novel set in a boarding school. Overall, her
visit was a great success and one that may inspire some of our young writers
to greater heights.

ASIA PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL ESSAY WRITING
TIPS
The Illustrated hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (QFAda) is covered in
silver, and has the words "Don't Panic" embossed upon it. People who have
read this book before will know the important pieces of advice the book gives
you - how to cope if you are smashed on Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters or
your inter planetary socialising skill are rusty and you have caused a large
extra-terrestrial offence. (I apologise if this column is beginning to sound
like an SSS newsletter.) The Library has all four books in this famous
trilogy and they are all worth a read.
Although it may be coming a little too late for some - especially with the
HSC looming - one of the Library's newest arrivals is Teach Yourself to
Think (153.42DeB) . The book divides thinking into five steps and directs
your attention to the most relevant parts of the problems you are faced with.
It teaches improved memory and study techniques and claims to eliminate
silly errors in the human thinking pattern. It provides numerous shortcuts
for logical thinking and claims to increase the power of the brain by at least
10%. If you are looking for a method to aid you along in upcoming exams
this book may provide some help.
The Library has finished processing the majority of the books which were
donated during the American Tea. These books are your chance to see what
you want on the shelves. The Essential Calvin and flobbes ( 741.5 Wat),
Illustrated Lord of the Rings ( FTol), Neuromancer (FGib) and the inevitable
Tin Tin have all arrived after the donation bonanza. There are a few new
books around which were chosen by the boys which are more than worth the
effort.

David Braun
This prize has been endowed through the generosity of an Old Boy, David
Allan Taylor, 1952-1957. Mr Taylor had a particular interest in Asia and
held the appointment of Field Officer with the United Nations High
Commission for Refugees in Bangkok, Thailand.
The prize will be given at Speech Day to those boys who write the best
essays on a topic concerning the historical, economic, social and/or political
development of countries in the East and South East Asia.
There will be three prizes: one for the Upper School: one for the Middle
School and one for the Lower School. Any one or more prizes may not be
awarded either if there is no entry or if it is considered that no entry merits a
prize. The length and topic of the essay will be determined each year by the
Master-i n -Charge of History in consultation with the Headmaster. The topic
for 1995 is:
"Why Has It Proved So Difficult For Australia To Develop
Good Working Relations With Indonesia, An Important
Neighbour?"
Upper School entries should not exceed 2,000 words in length, Middle
School entries 1,500 words and Lower School entries 1,000 words. Entries
may be hand written or typed. All essays should be clearly marked with the
name, initials and tutor group of the writer and handed to Mr. Patrick by 3.00
p.m. on Friday 27th. October, 1995.
All enquiries should be addressed to Mr. Patrick.

BOATERS
There has been a notable decline in the state of boys' boaters this year.
Would parents and boys please check boaters and ensure that:
the brim is flat;
the top of the boater is flat; and
the material is in good condition.
Boaters which do not fulfil the above should be replaced immediately.
SHOES
Many boys are wearing shoes which are not polished or in poor condition.
It would be appreciated if parenLs would help us maintain the high standards
of uniform expected of the School by checking on these items. Parents are
reminded that shoes must he able to be POLISHED - the dull, waxed
variety of shoe is NOT ACCEPTABLE school unifonn.

THE SIR ADRIAN CURLEWIS
AND THE
DR. CHENHALL OUTWARD BOUND AWARDS
Applications are invited from members of the VIth Form of 1995 for
these Awards, each of which permits one student from the School to go on a
"Classic Challenge (22 days long) Outward Bound Course in the YEAR
FOLLOWING VITH FORM. It is expected that the selected students will
make a contribution towards the cost of the course (currently approximately
30% of the total cost of a course of SI ,995).
The main aim of an Outward Bound course is to show a person what he is
capable of achieving, physically, mentally and socially in a group (6-12) for
22 days, using walking, climbing, abseiling, rafting, canoeing, ropes
courses, cross-country running and other confidence-building and socialising
activities.
Any person who is moderately fit may participate and derive benefit.
Those whose usual leisure-time activities are "out-of-doors" or 'adventurous'
should not apply simply in the hope of furthering these skills (though they
may do that); those who are not attracted to outdoor pursuits may derive great
benefit and should not be deterred from applying.
Applications should be macic, by the boy concerned, in writing to the
Headmaster by Monday 30th October, 1995.
OUTWARD BOUND BURSARIES
Applications are called for four (4)
Shore Association Outward Bound Bursaries
for the Outward Bound "Pack and Paddle' (Junior) courses to be held in the
Christmas holidays.
The age range for these is 12-16 years (i.e. the boys must not have
turned 16 by the commencement of the course) but preference will be given
to boys in the following years: from Form IV and Form Ill in that order.
The course is a holiday camp combining some of the elements and ideas
of Outward Bound, but in a more modest form than on the Standard (17-30
years) course.
The Bursary is HALF THE FEE ($192.50). The successful candidates
will pay the other half, plus travel costs. Details of the courses and total fees
are:
PBAT - 1D95

preferences for courses.

AUSTRALIAN SCHOOLS ENGLISH COMPETITION
Boys from Shore have demonstrated that their proficiency in English is
equal to that of the best of students from New South Wales.
This year 144 boys from the school were awarded certificates in the
Australian Schools English Competition in which students from all over
Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Region competed.
Angus Mackinnon and Nick Braun in Year 7, John Bell in Year 8 and
Adam Rollason and Charles Dale in Year 9 all received Certificates of High
Distinction and deserve congratulations for their efforts.
The competition assesses student proficiency in the areas of reading
comprehension, document and data interpretation, vocabulary and standard
language usage. A record 310,710 students from 4,461 schools participated
in the competition.
THE YOUNG PLAYWRIGHTS' FESTIVAL
Monday 18th September saw the second annual Young Playwrights'
Festival for students at schools on the lower North Shore. Nearly forty plays
were written by students from schools including Loreto, Kirribilli, North
Sydney Boys' High School and Shore . The best ten were selected for
performance on the big night. One of the Shore entries, "Caught in the
Slips", a cricketing comedy penned by Rhys Old, Dougal Currie and André
Kyme (Form V) was selected for performance and brilliantly interpreted by
the boys of St. Aloysius' College. Vijay Khurana (Form II) appeared in one
of the other plays. Overall, the festival was most enjoyable and is certain to
be repeated in 1996.

ROWING
During the last week of the holidays the majority of the GPS rowers
began training for the next season. The squad of 20 rowcrs for the 2 eights
began training in single sculls. Training began quite steadily and culminated
in a 5 km time trial at Penrith on the Nepean River... where there are no
Rivercats! I his time trial was uSed U) cIct the First and Second eights for
the first half of Term IV. There were a few casualties during the training
days: Alex Koch had trouble with tcndonitis in his forearm again, and Ben
McMaster was having trouble again with his collar-bone which had not yet
healed properly.
In the time trial which started 5 km up river from the old GPS finish, the
fastest scullers, led by Michael Irvine, started first at 15 second intervals, and
the elapsed times were recorded by Mr Gwynn-Jones at the finish.
The conditions for the time trial were absolutely perfect except that the
water was rather muddy looking after all the heavy rain. The three real
surprises of the race were Scott Bradley, Andrew Carter and Aaron MarshallMcCormack. The day went very smoothly and much credit must go to Mr
Shirlaw who always has all the eqttipment well maintained and the boat
trailer loaded with a minimum of fuss. The next selection regatta for the two
eights is in three weeks time. The results of the time trial are listed below:

R.A.I. (;rant
HEADMASTER
I)ID YOU KNOW THAT 500.000 PEOPLE LIVE IIELOW
THE POVERTY LINE - AUSTRALIA Wll)E?
I always think of my childhood as a very happy cxpericnce. Being an
only child I was frequently doted upon and all the attention of my parents was
and still is, aimed directly at Inc. My relatives and family are only fairly
small but always I have felt as though I was an important member and feel
that I truly do belong to it. I was also extremely fortunate to have four
fantastic grandparents right up till two years ago and in those years, I was
doted upon even more than what my parents did. Despite this, it has been my
immediate family that most of my childhood memories belong.
Looking hack I can realise that Fm extremely lucky to have happy
memories and I think that this can he safely said for the majority of the
students here (I apologise that this may be stereotypical but from my
viewpoint my opinion appears consistent). Most of you come from affluent
homes, with parents who try to give you everything within their ability.
They're generous, supporting, caring and send you 10 this school. To me, we
are very lucky and I don't believe some of the students at this school realise
this vcry fact.
In the world away from the North Shore and our safe little haven of Shore
School is a world which is totally different to what you have ever experienced
and because of this many people lose sight of what they have and how lucky
they are to have it.
Poverty is one of the most evident problems in the world. There are
people who cannot readily afford to put food on the table for their family and
you have all heard this so many times hciore but in your luckiness are unable
to comprehend such a feeling of despair and unremunerative toil.
As the American economist Henry George says, is that people don't know
that 'poverty is not merely deprivation; it means shame, degradation, the
searing of the most sensitive parts of our moral and mental nature".
It was found that 500,000 people live below the poverty line Australia
wide and of that amount, 70,000 children are living on the street and one-third
of that are children between 12-15 years of age. To think that twenty
thotisand kids the same age as boys in I. Il and Ill Forms live on the Street
without house or home.
I find it hard to imagine living on the street without the comfort of my
safe home. For it is this fact which makes me lucky among SO many who
are not well off. There is also an amount off children who are abused or
neglected among our very population.
It was found that during the year of 1990-91, a total of 49,721 cases of
child abtise and neglect were reported and investigated. Of course this is not
accounting for the amount of kids which have not reported such acts of
terrible violence. For those Shore boys who don't really have an idea of what
child abuse includes, here is the four types that the Department of Health
recognise and with them are the percentage of the above figures:
Neglect 25% (including deprivation of food and general
necessities, parents leaving the home, etc.);
Physical - 26% (including hitting, the pouring of boiling water,
attempted drownings, pulling by bodily features along the ground,
gravel scars, cutting, etc.);
Emotional - 25% (including verbal abuse, swearing, and general harsh
and unjustified abuse)
Sexual - 24% (including incest, rape, abuse of sexual organs, dc).
Panted by Acme Otl,co Ser'cce, Campbell St, Artarmon N,S.W 2064.
The problem with publishing these figures is that they are only figures
and people who have no experiences of this type cannot generally grasp the
impact of abuse or poverty figures like this. But to appreciate the things you
have to try to imagine, not having parents, not having a home to go to,
living on a park bench in Kings Cross along with 10,000 other kids. Or Cry
to imagine the kitchen in your home empty and you not able to go Out and
buy something, because you have no money to spend. Imagine all these
things, if you can, and one day, maybe, some of you might see the fortune
which surrounds you.
To be in such conditions, to go to this school, to be able to wear such a
school uniform which in reality is one of the most enviable things in the
world for children, to be able to Icam and increase the knowledge which
already surpasses that of millions of people around the world is a fortune in
itself.
Whatever you do, make sure you take the full advantage of what you have
because if you do, you will be one of the luckiest individuals on the face of
this planet. I would also urge you to even throw that little bit extra when the
Offertory plate comes around. It is this 'spare change', because that is what it
is, which provides a lot to those in the figures above. Offering money is not
only a Christian thing, it is a generous donation on the plate to show that
you are sacrificing a tiny amount of your earnings to people who don't have a
Shirl to run to.
I think though, psychologically, people lose sight of the meaning of
offering money, especially when we have a golden plate and in chapel we are
surrounded by gold plaques, stained wood, elegant carpets and people dressed
in expensive clothing. For a second, shut your eyes and remember those kids
who have no home, have no possessions and think of how lucky you are.
Use, don't abuse the situation you have and if the opportunity ever arises
for you to spread some of your luck around, widen your horizons, spread your
wings and help anyone you can with the entire generosity you develop.

Questions
THE
'RosencrariT7 and Guildenstern are dead'
llelvoir Street, Oct. 12 - Nov. 12
Written by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Jeremy Sims
'Rosencrantz and Guildcnstern' may be dead but this production isn't.
With the curtain call over and the audience still clutching to their seats in a
fruitless attempt to get more, I rummaged through my friend's bag in a
desperate quest to find a pen. Discarding the toothbrush and various now
crumpled clothes onto the theatre floor, my rummaging was not in vain.
Success was finely achieved. After stuffing back into the bag the belongings
now covering our small (hut adequate) space in the theatre, I picked up my
newly found pen and began to write. Understanding now how Hcrodotus felt
in Egypt, scribbling away names, quotes, obscure concept after obscure
concept unable to decipher which is important and which is not. Seeing the
play in action finally made mc realise Stoppard's genius.
The audience, finally accepting that the play is over, soon begin edging
out of their seats. Feeling obliged to leave I was (lraggcd out the door still
violently scribbling away, my writing getting less and less readable now, as I
struggled to write and walk down the stairs at the same time. Although
seemingly worthwhile at the time, when I get home I find a page of
unreadable explanations I have now contradicted. The only thing gained from
my frantic scribblings was learning that Roscncrantz and Guildcnstcrn forces
the audience to think. But because Stoppard's concept behind the play is so
flexible to different interpretation you may find yourself being as
momentarily confused as the characters. But don't lose heart. Even if you
are utterly bewildered and have no idea about what's going on you can still sit
hack and laugh at the constant supply of fantastic humour from the acting
troop lead by the "King of Melodrama" Jonathan Hardy.
Centralised around two insignificant characters from Hamlet, Stoppard
gives us a three act play about filling in the blanks that Shakespeare
unknowingly created. Given no character definition, purpose, reason,
relevance, explanation or understanding by Shakespeare about who, what and
why they are there, Rosencrantz and Guildcnstern, are two players trapped in a
world that needs them but doesn't appear to. Whose only purpose is to be
there when the other characters
[of Hamlet] enter. Finally, we learn what it's like to be trapped inside a
play. But in fear of sounding pretentious I'll stop right there, as it is not
necessary to understand what's behind this play. In Roscncrantz and
Guildenstcm the unjustified is justified. I need not say any more.
If anything go and sec this production for the magical script in action,
although there are still commendable performances worth seeing.
Undeniably, Jonathan Hardy is a necessary strength as the leader of the
tragedians. Jeremy Sims as the tormented thinker, Guildenstern (ustified or
not) provides a great contrast to the bizarre world that surrounds him. But the
most pleasing thing is that the somewhat second fiddle, Rosencrantz (or is
that Guildcnstcrn? Either will do), played by Anthony Lawrence, seems to
override everyone around him giving the most rewarding performance. As for
the Tragedians, I'll let them speak for themselves.
If you only go to plays or musicals once or twice a year, and have
forgotten that you are allowed to be entertained when you go to the theatre, I
beg you to ignore everyone telling you to see the big ticket / bright light
Miss Saigon's and Barber of Scvilles. Get back to real theatre, Roscncrantz
and Guildenstem are dead is worth your attention.

A new Judy Blume book has arrived in the library. It's called here's to
you, Rachel Robinson (F Blu) and is the poignant sequel to the best seller
Just as Long as We're Together. Blume explores real life and real friendships,
with warmth, perception and humour.
The Walls Came Tumbling Down by Gale Stokes (947.085 Sin) has been
donated by the Senior Librarian of 1995, Sandy Godfrey. It follows the
collapse of communism in Eastern Europe. This hook will interest modern
history students. It provides a compelling account of the Eastern European
struggle for democracy, from the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 through
to 1992 and the problems in Yugoslavia.
Brian Lara with Brian Scovell have written this new book on Lara's
story. It is Beating the Field; My Own Story (796.358 Lar) . The foreword
has been written by Sir Garfield Sobers and it has lots of statistics on Brian
Lara . For all you crickctcrs this is a great hook on a great man.

Well it's been a long, long time since this column has appeared in the
SWR, basically because I was either too busy to worry about your Friday's
coterlainment or I simply rniililn', hr hnihr•1. Ariyss'ay here it is, a little
different this week but still the same format (ie. extremely humorous). I
know that whilst many of you have been very sad over the past few weeks
without this column there is still hope - it is back, and it will be bigger than
ever.
Before you all start wondering what Shirl has to In with sport I must tell
you that they have absolutely nothing in common. This week's subject has,
over the years, done to Shore what 'Home and Away' did to us, no not left us
feeling sick, but left us with a gurful. When recently queuing up at the local
eatery I had time to have a little chat with none other than the Queen of
Cuisine.
ftag
How many meat pies, cokes, SO mixed and Monaco lIars have
you sold in your entire 30 years, to the nearest whole
it u in I, e r?
Well, / sell about 20 dozen meat 1'ies a iveck, times by about 40 weeks a
year, times by 30 years equals a lot of meat pies.
Is it true that
election?
you may be running for PM in the
nest
No. but the women should definitely, they 'ei far better results than men
I'd be better than Bob l/a,,d,.e lvm.
How long has your friend/business partner, Dawn, been
serving Shore with you?
27 years. She is a friend of the family and we live near each other and one
day I asked her to come and help me and she has stayed ever sin ce (that is one
long favour).
Do you believe they should introduce a ('.PS 1st Tuckshop
team, you'd be a deadset certainty for sure?
Yeh, why not? I used to play softball 15 years ago and J got the trophy for
the best catcher. I think it would he a lot offun.
How did you start in this business?
How many boys have you served in your 30 years, to the
nearest decimal?
Well, let me see, 500 boys a day for 5 days a week, 40 weeks a year for 30
years equals a hell of a lot of boys (approximately half of the world's
population).
Is there any truth in the rumour that all the boarders want you
to take over the catering for them?
No, / think the boarders are happy with u/rat they get (you have got to he
kidding don't you?).
Have you ever thought of branching out and, say, opening up
another Shirls on the Chapel Lawn?
No, I've got enough to manage already. I've been offered to manage other
cctnteens at other schools but / think I'll stick to where / am, i'm used to it
(after 30 years I'd say you would he).
How about a drive-thru service?
l'here already is one for the Sixth Form.
Did you ever envisage being such a school legend and folk
hero?
No, not really because I only signed upforfive years at the start and I just
kept on going. I enjoy doing the work, it makes me feel better: / work in a
happy atmosphere, and / love children. F never get tired of it and it hasn't
really aged me at all.
Has anyone ever approached you about making a mini-series
of the rise of Shirl Industries?
No, never. I have had many offers for partnerships though but I don't need
them.
Well, I used to work in a coffee shop in North Sydney called 'Coppins' and
one day these Shore boys came infor lunch and! served them. I asked them
if they had a tuckshop and they said it was closed. / served them for the next
3 days in a row and they then asked me if! wot.ild take over. .o I went to see
the Headmaster (Mr. Travers) and asked if I could apply but there were a lot of
applicants, 52 1 think, and! didn't think! would get it but in the end I won.
It was the old tuckshop (on the western side of school oval) and it was in
ruins, so I fixed it up and made it into its present day situation.
Are you leading figureheads in the local bingo club?
Yes, I am but Dawn doesn't play. I love it, it's a brain game, I go twice a
week - it's my favourite pastime, along wit it a drink at the pokies.
What are your kids' names? Or are all the Shore boys 'your
children'?
1 have 2 sons; Michael and 'Timothy and 2 daughters; Colleen and
Charmagne. / also have 9 grandchildren. But when someone a.ck.v me how
many ktd.s I have, I say, over 1000. The little one.s are so cute they never
lose some of their characteri,stic,s a,s they grow up..4t Mr. Colbrook's funeral
/ saw all the old,familiar faces! had served Over the years.
When I was at school I hated it. I was never any good, and one teacher said
the only way I was going to make money was to write a book (a recipe book,
of course).
Shirl, it has been an absolute pleasure to talk to you and on
behalf of every one who has ever bought sontething from you
- 'keep up the great work' and all the best for the future
whatever it may hold (maybe she will be bought out by
McDonald's and it will become McShirl's).
That's it for another week of this segment, it will be returning to the
world of sport next week. So don't change your channel for what was
recently voted, 'The Most Regularly Humorous Segment Contained in a
Weekly Publication from a School Starting with 5', by me.
This was proudly brought to you by none other than Shirls, deliciously
ripe mangoes, Brett Kenny and the Locker Room Legend.

PRE SEASON CRICKET
On the Labour Day Monday the Ists started their campaign with a game
against Nondescripts and kept them to 167 off their allotted 55 overs. Peter
Sachs proved the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3 for 19 off II overs.
David Falk (63) and Angus Dorney (48) provided the backbone for the Shore
winning total of 6 for 169.
After two more internal trial games the Ists played Riverview at
Riverview. Batting first Shore scored 6 for 210 with James Packman
dominating with a One 84 not otit. In reply, Rivcrview could only manage 7
for 135 from their 55 ovcrs. Richard Thompson (3 for 9 off 13 ovcrs)
bowled excellent line and length to have the Riverview batsmen totally
confined.
On the last Saturday of the holidays the Firsts played an Invitation Xl.
The Invitation XI hatted first and found themselves soon in trouble at 5 for
74 with Pollitt and Oatcs making early inroads. However, the tail wagged,
catches were dropped and they were finally dismissed for 213. The Firsts
faced a formidable bowling auack in their chase with Tim Packman and Scott
Taylor (from last year's Firsts) joining Richard Stoho and Hugh Braked
(switching sides today) in a four prong pace battery. Rob S hair (39) batted
well against this attack and he was a good support froin Peter S:ichs who
scored a stylish 73. Angus Dorncy (2 I) was in line lorni until lie
unsuccessfully attempted a chancy run. After his dismissal victory was
always going to he difficult and finally proved to he just out of reach.
Last Saturday the traditional fixture against I Zingari was held at
Northbridge. After some wayward bowling in windy conditions and some
dreadful fielding I Z's were I for 93 off 23 users and looking to a big score.
Ed Cay entered the howling attack and howled with good accuracy into a stiff
sou' wester and soon made the much needed breakthrough. His combination
with Peter Sachs turned the game around. Peter Sachs had three howled and
one LBW in his 5 wicket haul. The hatsmen David Falk (19) and Rob Shaw
(28) got the innings off to a good start and then Angus Roberts (51*) and

The Seconds have played three games. The first was against S.I.C.
Seconds on A ground. S.I.C. chose to hat first and crawled to 172 off 55
overs. Dugald Pollitt (2-13 off 9 overs) and Rob Corhett (1-9 off 5 overs)
were the pick of the bowlers. The run chase was made to look easy with Rob
Shaw scoring a solid 50, Martin Brown hammering 27 and Scott Barrett
slogging a well crafted 26 n.o. The final score of 6-176 off 51 overs meant
an easy victory for the Shore team.
The next game was against N.C. Seconds on the flight path (i.e. at
Ncwington). N.C. chose to bat first and had squeezed 140 runs off 46 overs
by lunch. They must have eaten something spicy during the break for they
smashed another 100 runs off the final 14 overs setting Shore a mammoth
244 to win. Scott Barrett (2-25) and Rhys Old (3-41) took the howling
honours. Geoff Munn and James Corheu were sent out to open the batting
with the instructions "Enjoy yourselves", and Si) they did. A ixirtnership of
186 had the statisticians scrambling for the record hooks. Mann finished
with 104 and Corbctt 58. After such a start the rest was a formality and
Shore finished at 5-247 off 51 overs.
The third game was against an Old Boys team. Shore, by agreement,
batted first and ran up a very handy 5-187 off 36 Dyers. Corbett (28) and
Munn (52) again combined well in a stand of 76 playing tip and run with the
fieldsmen. Martin Brown again showed he can hit the ball hard and raced to
41. The Old Boys in their traditional manner then smashed us all over the
park, and out of it, finishing with 8-190 in 35 ovcrs. Rhys Old (4-33) and
Andrew Leslie (2-34) took the howling spoils, Leslie in particular showing
all his old fire and pace.

It is amazing to what cx lent various hrms and people in our soCiety will
go to make vast amounts of money. The iliotivation of money/wealth/power
is substantial, but when weighed up against the opportunity costs, or what
one is having to forgo, it is questionable whether the venture was really
worth the effort.
I speak mainly of B.H.P.'s recent publicity headache over the OK Tedi
affair. Through its large scale mining operation for copper and other minerals
in Papua New Guinea, B.H.P. has caused a great deal of environmental
damage in and around the OK Tedi river. Becatise a tailing stand, and other
waste controls, were not established to contain the fine sediment from the
crushing of rock, it has been released into the river system. Down river all
sorts of environmental damage has been caused, with the loss of some areas
of rainforest and the livelihood of some villages. The government of PNG
failed to make B.H.P. build a tailing stand, whether this was a government or
business initiative is unknown. However, to expect much action from the
government to install any environmental standards seems unlikely, it has a
large shareholding in the OK Tedi venture. Without each other's mutual
support the ni in ing operation won Id not have gone ahead
B.H.P. justifies its involvement in such a project by investing vast
amounts of money in the infrastructure of PNG, and over 100 villages have
benefited from the generosity of "the big Australian". Mttny now have wellbuilt schools, hospitals and community halls, which have done tt great deal
for the small villages in terms of health and education. However, this cottld
be seen as a type of bribing, make the government see how important B.H.P.
is to PNG, and she is unlikely to reject it large scale mining project, even if
the environment is one of the 'opportunity costs". Another reason OK Tech
is important for PNG is that it accounts for aroand 211% of its mineral
exports, an amount not easily replaced. The head of B.H.P. in PNG said,
"We want to be like I Attstralia I. and projects like OK Tech are the only things
that are going to get us there." Unlortunittely this attitttdc of blatant and
ardent money seeking and self-dc ye lop men t has got PN C i nut di ffic ul
environmental problems. There must he other, more successful, ways of
ttdvancing and industrialising than copying Austrttlia. Learning from our
mistakes would be one suggestion.
Once the scent of money arrived in Attstralia, it was a pack of hounds to
the kill. Like blood is to sharks, lawyers from a large Melbourne based
solicitors' firm, Slater & Gordon, new to the villages down stream of the
mine on OK Tedi, and managed to obtain 30,000 signatures for a law Suit
against B.H.P. This was done by apparently promising S4 billion before the
end of the year. As soon as mooney seems imminent, they used someone
else's misfortune to make money for themselves. The issue of the
environment was used as a convenient means of suing B.H.P.
When will we eventuttlly stop making immense sacrifices to mmtkc
profits? Money is not a suitable exchange for something that we may never
be able to replace. In this OK Tedi case, one cannot forget the good B.H.P.
has done for PNG financially and improved infrastructure (as it's propaganda
on television has showed us), and however much we like to save the
environment we still need mining. Nevertheless, certainly more caution, and
less blatant profiteering would benefit not only the country but also the
people and not damage the environment as much as it might now. Without
greater prudence the "big Australittn" cottld become a big embarrassment for
Australia. This example of exploitation is certainly not new to the world, it
has been human "nttture" for a long time. Even in the "tnodern" world we
have seen the use of slaves and the abuse of mitny less developed indigenous
peoples. Perhaps we will make a positive change for the better in the future.

"Welt, allow me to retort..."
Dear Sir,
I, along with the rest of the Shore community was ,v/tocked and dismayed
by last week's "Column of Lose". Continuing to consider you as an
intelligent and liberal committee has become dfficult. The essential problem
lies in the choice of author. It would be to it greater benefit to all concerned
tf.comeone who actually knew something about lose was its Cupid. Chri.c
Wenden unfortunately doesn't have the faintest. I resent the author'.c
comments about myself last week and hope this idiocy and paradox of author
and subject does not continue. Plea.se,for the sake of u.s all, keep C.E.W. to
what he knows. (What's that?... Ed.)
Yours sincerely,

Reply
Dear John,
Thank you for your kind letter. Your sttggestions have been taken into
consideration, and the author of the "Coltmmn of Love" has been sacked. This
week he is replaced by a more competent and qualified journalist with the
highest recommendations from the rowing community, Rowan Cook. We at
the Shore Weekly Record believe this new appointment will provide mitny
love-stricken Shore boys with the tips necessary to journey the paths of love
with confidence.
Ed.
Dear SWR Committee
The recent proltferation of articles scripted with the "be
than/çful for that which you have" theme has led to a wide belief emerging
amongst the dedicated Shore Weekly Record readership that the new
committee is operating with a Socialist Bent. Could you please arrange a
statement of policy concerning your beliefs so that I , and the other
members of the hardcore SWR readership, may come to understand your
position?
Sincerely
Mr E.L.j.J'est

"The keeping of funnel-web spiders as pets, for (possibly) cuddling and
speaking to in Cute falsetto voices (doubtless), is physically dangerous, and
in a primate denotes dubious sanity." Comment, and recieve 25 points and

Question 2: Answer ONE of parts a) and b):
a) In ancient history, Hannibal was supposed to have crossed the Alps with
his army, on elephants.
Why bother, just to reach Italy? Was he sick oloverpriced olive

Why take a herd of elephants and not something reasonable and

Well it's my tum, unfortunately, to write of my perceptions and general
concept of this seemingly uhiquilous terni. So I'll start where I always start
when troubled in life, the dictionary.
love n. I warm affection: altachmenl, liking, or l'ondness, paternal
benevolence, affectionate devotion. 2 sexual affection or passion or desire,
relation hetwoen sweethearts (pukri, this leeling as it literary subject.
Hey Jude, don't make it had,
Take a sad song and make it belIer,
Remember to let her into you heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
Hey Jude, don't be afraid,
You were made to go out and gel her,
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better,
The opening stanza to "Hey Jude" by the Beatles, © 1968 Northern
Songs. By conjuring images of incisions into the skin and open heart
Surgery, we are now under the impression that love is a procedure that is
learnt in med-school.
At this point I will delve into Shakespeare. Mainly because I hate his
works and taking him out of context will he fun.
That fair for which love groaned for and would the,
With tender Juliet matched, is now not Liii.
Now Romeo is beloved and loves again,
Alike bewitched by the charm of looks;
But to his foe supposed he must complain,
And she steal love's Sweet bait from fearful hooks.
So love is like some sort of repeating fishing tool is it?
With love's light wings did I o'er perch these walls:
For stony limiLs cannot hold love out,
And what love can do, that dares love attempt.
Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.

The Column of Love
Now love has turned into some winged beast which can overpower the
most determined resistance.
Well clearly nobody seems to have the foggiest what this love, he it
noun, verb, adjective or otherwise, is. I hereby suggest to you that the
ultimate shield to this thing is the education system itself, all those that have
not succumbed, take heed.
The HSC. How many units are you doing'?, II, 12... 13 if you are
lucky. And how much spare time does this leave you to go out and have a
life?... Heaps, and it is here that the problem lies. The modern teenager has
so much time on his/her hands that they don't know what to do with
themselves and so they invent this emotion that can't be tied down to
anything, it seems, and then proceed to throw this wet and sloppy thing, like

a jellyfish?, at anyone they can get at. The solution: isolation and work;
simply keep picking up units and extra-curricular activities until they reach
such a level that the problem, hopefully, disappears. Take me for instance,
I'm doing 14 units next year with rowing, effectively bumping that total up
to 43. Sure, I don't have a life but think of the altemative, being harrassed
by some hideous beast.., or possibly even love (!).
Going to Shore has helped my escape enormously since if you avoid
certain buses to and fro you never actually have to talk to anyone, except
yourself which you end up doing with alarming regularity after a while.
Until Vth Form, I had got away with never socialising outside the classroom,
within which no socialising was done either, which was a convenient catch.
Then I was dragged into a certain function which defeated the purpose of all
that effort...
Well after that I hope you're as coniused as I am. I don't get it and I'll he
damned if anyone else does. Just ignore it and it will go away - touch wood.

Despite the poor weather conditions another good day was had by all.
Four of the five bronze groups were able to train with Mr. Quail on the IRB
plus a few timed runs and plenty of water work on board and rescue tube.
The patrol group followed the warm up run with a biathlon involving a
run to the trig and back followed by a surf swim. P. Huxtable and J. Keirath
were stand Outs in this event. They followed this with board relay event,
profieieney work and finished with a run swim run. The patrol proficiency
panel of S. McIntyre and A. Ward also started testing the patrols as part of
the Hugh Kesterton award.
Congratulations to P. Huxtable, A. Booth , C. Beattie and A. Henderson
on passing their IRB exam. Next week will see all of the bronze holders
being tested for their proficiency at Long Reef and on the 4th November
there will be the first of our open days for the season at Long Reef where a
barbecue lunch will be available. There will he a number of presentations
made on the day plus the usual parent-son swim race.

TIPS
Basketball: Stcp.c to Success (796.323 Wis), written by Hal Wissel, a
special assignment coach to the Milwaukee Bucks, deals with all the basics
of getting started and then advanced tactics and drills. As well as showing
warmups and exercises used by most players in the NBA, it details some of
the simpler moves, such as the 'give'ngo", "pick'n'roll" and "hackdoor
flash". Later it features rundowns of the most famous tactics of each team in
the NBA. The sporting section of the Library has stacks of hooks on
basketball skills and personalities. If you want to improve your game read
up a bit, and talk to Mr. Humphrey.
Fire on the Mountain (Q551.21 Joh) is a pictorial guide to the nature of
the mysterious and all-powerful phenomena, volcanoes. The lush photos
taken by Dorian Weisel capture the true essence of nature using all 25 years
of her experience. Volcanoes range from the stirface of Venus to the
Hawaiian Islands where the lava travels straight into the huge raging surf.
This amazing guide also covers historic eruptions such as Vesuvius and
Mount St. Helens. Truly this is a spectacular hook, a must for all volcano
lovers!
There are still hooks rolling on in from the donation trickle that was the
American Tea. Bloodline (F She) , On Dangerous Ground (F 167). Dragon's
Rock (F Bow) have all been processed, and are worth a read.

Those four words at the top of the pane bring hack such memories for me,
okay I'll admit, they're mainly of people rolling around the floor with
unconuollable laughter upon reading this segment but hey! as I have always
said 'modesty is overrated'. Anyway, enough of the arrogance, there's plenty
more of that to come. I feel the whole SWR comes alive when it enters the
world of sport yet again, it adds that edge that seems to be lacking in other
parts of the Record: the sweat, the blood, the pain and, of course, the
humour. Blessed though that we are there is a long way to go as Summer
95/96 gets under way.
As many of you may know the GPS Cricket season starts'at the
beginning of term 4 unlike most other so-called sports which start at the
beginning of next year. While the rower.s may he squeezing into their one
piece lycras, the baskethallers shooting hoops and the tennis players combing
their hair, the cricketcrs have been out in the sun practising their seemingly
infinite skills. Whilst waiting in line I came to be standing next to none
other than Shore's King of Cricket and this is what he had to say for
himself...
Page 190
For those disgraceful few who ktio
nothing of how the (PS
Cricket corn petition is played, tell us a little of how one
comes to strive to he the Kings iif Cricket?
First of all the captain has to be a good tosser, and the whole team has to put
in an everlasting effort, never letting off and trying to win the game in style
(that'.s anot her famou.s motto: 'it doesn't ,natter if you win or lose the game,
it's how stylishly you go about it' - P. Sochs).
Is a strong cup of tea the best way to relax after a hard days
play?
No, never. You can't relax, one is not allowed to it's an unwritten rule of
cricket. Personally, I walk around the oval not talking to anyone (well that's
easier said than done for some).
One of the hardest parts of cricket is obviously taking off the covers from the
wicket, how does the 1st Xl rate at doing this?
As long as there is a 'Captain of Covers'. Ed Cay was unonimou,sly voted for
this while absent (congratulation.s Ed, you must feel proud), there should be
knotv problems. One day Rob Shaw almost got blown away with the
covers, it was close.
Is Shore Cricket likely to follow that of the N.S.W. team and
have cheergirls and music during the game? tf so, what would
he your song?
Ych, if there is a plan for 'SuperCricket' I would think it would he a distinct
possibility (maybe we could get the rowers to come out in their lycra suits
with pom-poms, now that would bring in the crowds!).
Finally, will Australia beat the Pakies?
Of course, never doubt it for a moment.
Mr. Falk thank you for your most invaluable time, it's been a
sheer delight for you to speak to me today. On behalf of all
the people who you haven't spoken to at the cricket I wish
you the best of luck in the coming season.
Well, I can't believe that it has come to the end of another week for this
segment, I offered my services for a daily ptihlieation but it was turned down
in the interest of public sanity. Nevertheless I shall return next week to rid
your life of boredom.
This week's segment was proudly brought to you by Cricket - the Sport

The 1st XI have had many trials over the past few weeks, how
is the team shaping up?
Despite the various changes froni last year, the team is s/taping up well, we
have a lot of depth in hot/i our hatting and howling this season. If we want
to win enough and as long as the school gets behind us then we should do
very well (I can just see it noss, cro wc/s in excess of/S (it Northhridge!).

Cricket doesn't exactly pull huge crowds like rowing

Well, we do a bit of playing around with the ball, rubbing it on your pant.s
always looks good. We pick at the ball and fiddle with it and throw bits of
dirt at each other on the field (riotous time.s on the cricket pitch,! bet).
Sometimes, and only very rarely, Cricket has been known to
get boring (as does rowing), so how many pickets are there on
Northbridge 'A'?
Well, due to our calculauon.s last season we figured that there were about
2400 picket.s and each one has a different. distinctive characteristic about it
(Yeh, they probably all have different names too).

CRICKET REPORT
The sight of drizzle heralded the start of the GPS cricket competition last
Saturday. Much to the annoyance of all, the start of the game was delayed for
an hour. Finally, David Falk walked to the centre to toss, his mind filled
with a variety of useless theories upon which way to call based on a
geographical basis (heads north of the harbour, tails to the south) but called
incorrectly (win for the Joey's captain and the laws of probability) and we
were invited to howl on a pitch which was hard but green and grassy,
The excitement of the start of the season proved too much for the opening
bowlers who tended to bowl largely down leg side. But, in the seventh over
Hugh Brakell put a very fast yorker through the opener and knocked the
middle stump out of the ground and sent it cartwheeling down to wicket
St.
keeper Waugh - a sight to gladden the heart of any old fast bowler!
Joseph's recovered from that early setback only to suffer a mini collapse just
before lunch. All three dismissals were to LBW decisions. Angus Dorney
trapped two players in front and Peter Saehs the other to have Joey's at a
precarious 4 for 52 at lunch. As the players returned after lunch a gentle
drizzle again set in and with every over it became more cli!'l'icult to grip an
increasingly wet ball. The fifth wicket fell to tin outside edge well taken by
Waugh off Dorney and the sixth wicket again fell to Dorney howling a slower
ball which Falk, diving forward, held at mid-oil. With the hail attaining the
consistency of plasticine and some resolute hatting the game swung hack to
Joey's despite the fine bowling efforts of Sachs and Dorney. A heavy shower
just prior to tea put a merciful end to proceedings for the day leaving St.
Joseph's in reasonable control of the match.

When Life imitates.....
What is one to do? When the world seems a stage and we all appear
simply players on it obeying a script, what course of action is there open to
anyone, indeed is there a course of action open?
The two unit related English course is reading Stoppards' 'Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are dead'. The play largely examines the idea of
existentialism, existence and the nature of it. The actual action of the play
consisLs of Roscncrantz and Guildensterri being summoned, and then waiting
backstage for them to he summoned again. The idea emerges through the
play that they only exist when they are called onto the stage by the
appearance of Hamlet or the members of the Danish Royal Family. At the
time I watched this play I admit the concept of predetermined "destiny", for
lack of a better term, seemed farcical as did the idea of having no choice, no
course of action. However I have since become aware of this possibility, and
indeed the reality, existing.
Through sonic mysterious illness my sister has been invalid for some
three months now. Neither medicine nor magic seems capable of diagnosis
nor cure, and she is now in hospital. Her second night in hospital was crisis
point, she was severely homesick, which compounded her illness, but more
than this she was frightened out of her wits by the oppressively,
overwhelmingly violent cheerfulness which surrounded her. Naturally I was
determ toed to do whatever it required to make her comfortable again, namely
expeditious removal from the ward of horror, but found myself confronted
with considerable opposition from those who are to be obeyed.I am not proud
to say that my actions were governed by my dutiful responsibilities and
probably, subconsciously, my ingrained knowledge that I can't force my will
over the powers that are.
And so it was that I found myself and my brother sitting in a hail, a cold,
impersonal, narrow hospital hall rellecting on existence and the course of it.
It was much like the way I believe Woody Allen's characters feel. Man
watches play, man lives play. Or is it the other way round? I could have
been Cornishcrantz or Guildencorn, it hardly matters which, waiting for
Godot, or in this case P.J.C. to come and bring me to existence again and to
tell me of my next actions. He in turn was govemed by powers that be, or
powers that were, whether the powers were concepts, ideas, pragmatisms or
any other considerations. So what I really seek to know is, if the
considerations are strings, who is the puppeteer?
The puppeteer does relieve us of one thing; responsibility. If we are all
just players ott a stage, following a script, and each has a part to play then we
cannot be responsible for our lines. Maybe I have formulated my ideas
wrongly. perhaps I have mixed my metaphors, maybe the reader believes I
have missed, as it were, the point. When you come to criticise me I won't
take it on a personal level, as it is hardly my fault nor yours' is it?
If only Victor Frank was wrong.

Dear Mr E.L.I.Test,
In response to your request, here is the S.T.O.P.O.N.A.R.E.D. (STatement
Of Policy ON Altruism & Real Equality for the Downtrodden), explaining
the full rationale behind the concept of S.W.R.S.W.R. (Shore Weekly
Record's Sympathy With the Reds).
We increasingly regret that the SWR remains one of the last
politically censored publications in Australia.
If it wasn't for that then we would constantly plug ideas like:

Dear Sir,
I was most impressed with your choice of new author for "The Column of
Love". Mr R.M. Cook's insights into love, its origins, and necessary
actions to take, are far more highly evolved than any conclusions I had arrived
at. His recommendations have been securely imprinted in my brain, and next
time I am at a "Desperate & Dateless Ball", I'll remember to just ignore the
winged "beast of love", and avoid any social life at all. Thank you for this
life-saver bit of knowledge.
In all desperation,
I.A.M. Kidding
Reply
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your interesting letter. Your kind acknowledgment of R.M.
Cook's article is well appreciated. Unfortunately R.M. Cook has now
exhausted his repertoire on the complicated issue of love, and has retired. A
new and qualified author will not emerge until one of the Committee
members decides he has a brilliant idea worth sharing with the rest of the
school.
The final straw: the hierarchical Committee List. Our modernisation

Letter to the Administrator
Dear Mr Cook,
I was startled and aghast at last week's "Column of Love". For many
years now, the SWR has been a reliable source of not only modern culture
and amusing anecdotes, but information from the past and present drenched,
to your credit, with integrity. Mr Cook's suggestion that "Hey Jude" ever
suggested that the rigours of love could be as benign and enjoyable as open
heart surgery is an appalling falsehood. On the contrary, the lines "Let her
into your heart"; and "Let her under your skin" were intended to conjure
images more of live skinnings and quarterings without anaesthetic.

As well as books the Library has also begun to invest in CDs and
computer software. In addition to the now famous rainy-day pastime the
RTA Road Test there are also various multimedia products. One of the
newest additions is a detailed guide to the assassination of JFK, JFK
Assassination: A Visual Investigation.. From the isolated gory slides of the
fatal head wound, anyone can search for the pieces of his head. Also there are
various theories about the killing, including conspiracy and the incorrect lone
gunman.
Australia's Great Barrier Reef (581.9943 Col), put forward by the
Australian Wilderness Library, is extremely informative reading. Well, not
so much reading as looking. This is a pictorial essay of, remarkably, the
Great Barrier Reef. Good pictures. Short words.
Also for the numerous regular readers of this column here is a fiction treat.
(snigger). A Prayer for the Dying (F Hig), World of the Stiks (F Hil), Stone
Danger (F Smi), The Ghosts of Sleath (F Her) and a brilliant new arrival
Roadies (F Ott).
As evidence that this column is actually read by at least one person, Mr.
Mason-Jones has requested that book on trout fishing, Basic Fly-Fishing
(799.12 JIaw), which was reviewed earlier by the Bookie. It is waiting for
him in the Library.

KOALA
On the 26th of October, set 5 English (Form I) travelled out to the
Powerhouse Museum to see the KOALA (Kids' Own Australian Literature
Awards) for 1995. Some of the authors present were Terry Denton, Pamela
Allan and Duncan Ball. The ceremony opened with a welcome from the head
of KOALA, then we met all the authors. After that Chatswood School
performed a musical called 'Chaos' which was followed by the "magic
number" (lucky door prize). Everyone was given a number but not everyone
won a prize (a book or cassette). Then we saw a video of John Marsden, the
senior winner, as he was unable to be there. Finally the authors signed
books and there were KOALA sun visors and badges (as well as more books)
for sale. All in all the moming was a lot of fun.

NATIONAL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS COMPETITION
On 16th September, six of our Form VI students, in two teams,
participated in the 1995 RACI National Chemicat Analysis Competition.
Each student in the team was presented with a vial containing 3.000 mg to
5.000 mg of a pure soluble chemical which has been contaminated with an
unknown amount of an insoluble chemical. The tasK was to determine the
amount of the soluble chemical present in the vial, accurate to 4 significant
figures.
One of our teams, comprising of Daryl Chui, Alex Yim and Adrian
Zanelli, was placed 1st in N.S.W., and the other team, of David Allen, Tim
Howard and Chris Phoon came 8th. For a white now we have been waiting
anxiously to hear from the organisers of the competition where our boys are
placed nationally. Last week the last results came in from Mackay,
Queensland, and we found that we have been pipped at the finishing line by a
school there by an accuracy difference of 0.001 mg. - a very narrow margin,
indeed! Nevertheless, coming second in the nation (for the second time) is
something to be very proud of. For their excellent performance our three
students will each receive a plaque in November from the organisers of the
competition.

SYDNEY BUSES THEORY
Rowan's Third Law of Sydney Buses: Passengers
N=C+4
where N is the number on the bus
C is the scaling capacity of the bus
This law guarantees that you will never get a scat nor will you he able to
stand in the space near the rear door since that's where the extra four will
congregate. Instead you will be relegated to the constricted space between the
front and the rear doors where you will he harassed by passengers constantly
getting on and off.
Furthermore, two passengers will always get on and two will always get

Shore Weekly Record
STUDENT PROFILE #1
SPORTS THAT NEVER QUITE MADE IT
- THE TEACHERS PEST
Since the dawn of time, the teaching profession has been plagued by this
species of student (although some texts regard them only a subspecies).
Basically, their purpose in life (apart from making the occasional trip to
Shirl's) is to annoy, aggravate, infuriate and generally make life hard for their
enemies - the teaching body of Shore.
However whilst all teachers pests have the same purpose, they exist in
many different forms depending on their cultural background and level of
maturity. Some are quite crafty, for instance there have been reports of a few
devious students using the top of Mr Whitehouse's head as a mirror. Others
are just annoying. They span all age groups in the school and whilst in Year
7 students are more cheeky, Year 12 students are more experienced with
greater knowledge of teacher weaknesses. Basically, teachers pests can be
classified as either yobbos, loudmouths or class clowns.
One sees in the paper every day the big, immensely popular sports such as
Cricket and Rugby but rarely do we hear of the less well known sports.
Little is known of the sports that never really made it to the front page of the
papers, such as Winter Tennis. Well, that is all about to change in this allrevealing article about the sports that never really quite took off ....
*
Fuji-Contact Handball
*
Super Fishing, originally started by Rupert Murdoch but strangely
abandoned when no TV stations would televise it.
*
2-Man 'Tip', including the controversial 'can't tip the butcher back'
rule.
*
Baby Crawl Marathon
*
Blindfold Darts
YOBBO:
A common variety of this creature is the yobbo, characterised by untidy
hair, unpolished shoes, generally rowdy behaviour, constant shouting and bad
breath. It has been well documented in teaching manuals (eg: How to control
a class whilst maintaining your personality by Dr Harry Barry) that yobbos
have the potential to transform the class into a zoo. Therefore they must be
kept at bay with petty bribes, such as 50 mix and no homework in return for
a sustained period of obedience (5 minutes max.).
LOUDMOUTH:
Closely related to the yobbo is the loudmouth. Although not as rowdy as
his cousin, the loudmouth talks even more and at greater volume - they can
usually be heard 2 or 3 classrooms away depending on the quality of the
soundproofing. Adding to the problem is the frequent habit of not thinking
before talking. Some teachers have even resorted to telling their class all year
that there are H.S.0 exams on next door. Now that the H.S.0 exams really
are on, it is crucial that the noise pollution be limited.
CLASS CLOWN:
The final breed of teachers pest is the class clown. Despite the wide
range of forms which they adopt, they are all basically attention seekers.
Class clowns can be found in all years in all sets - they are extremely
adaptable to any habitat. Although many are quite intelligent, they usually
will deny any intelligence to behave foolishly. For instance, some take
considerable pleasure in producing many strange noises to annoy the teacher.
When these extroverts do choose to act maturely, they will use their wit to
burn other member(s) of class and/or the teacher. However they can be useful
in maintaining class morale in boring lessons.
Although teachers pests are valuable in their "lightening up" of boring
periods, some need to be more cautious. Constant aggravation can seriously
damage a teachers mental health, a condition which can only improve
through free periods, weekends and holidays. While some students may see
this as desirable, poor mental health can ultimately force a teacher to lose (or
just suppress) his/her personality - a students worse nightmare. Therefore,
we urge teacher's pests to annoy teachers in moderation.

4-Player Chess
The Nonuple Jump, or more commonly known as the 'hop, skip,
jump, walk, fall, dance, idle, mosie and saunter'.
Are you shocked? Well you should be. These sports have up until now
never been known to the outside world, rather they have been played for many
years by secret members too ashamed to come out about their pastimes. So
next time you are sitting at home with nothing to do, get up and give one of
these sports a go, sure you may not make the front page of the paper but you
will have great fun in the meantime. Trust me I'm a Black Belt in all the
sports.

BASKETBALL REPORT
On Saturday the 14th of October, Shore lsts and 2nds played the Shore Old
Boy's. The Second's played a not so Old Boy's lead by last year's captain of
Basketball Andrew Hawkins. The second's put up a good show but were narrowly
beaten 5648.
The First's played an even stronger side loaded with talent including ex-Sydney
representatives in the NBL , Ian Robillard and Rob Puller. The game started
intensely and of good nature typical of Old Boy's contest's. Josh Stuart and
Cameron Kennard kept Shore close all game scoring 19 and 12 points
respectively. The Old Boy's however finally edged the First's out 71-68.
Saturday before last, Shore Basketball came up against an equally strong
opponent in St. Joseph's. The Junior's faired well and the Second's won well
behind good efforts from Drew Woodhouse and Charles Hercus.
The First's game started off fast and intense behind a good crowd for the first
trial game this year. Shore's guards played all over St. Joseph's with good class
shown from Mike Hercus and Phil Orchard. At the half time break the scores
were close and it was obvious that a Shore forward had to step up to close down
the St. Joseph's huge centre. Rob Knox did so and almost recorded a triple/double
with 20 points, 14 rebounds and 9 block shots. The game stayed close all the
way but Josh Stuart's late barrage of triples put Shore in the lead and Rob Knox's
lay up with 10 seconds left sealed the game for Shore 57-55.
Last Saturday Shore played a high class outfit of basketball side from
Newington. The Juniors were mostly outplayed but the 15As fought hard, and
were only just beaten. The Seconds were also defeated, but never looked
completely out of reach of Newington, with James Bull producing when needed.
Shore's Seconds eventually lost 47 - 42.
The Firsts had the toughest task of all with the Newingtonians firsts being the
strong favourite to take out the competition this year. Newington displayed their
excellent shooters and ball handlers, led by Tim Purcell, who is probably one of
the best players in GPS Basketball. Purcell came out hard, hitting the first 8
points, but strong defence from Derek Champion and Rob Knox slowed his
offensive attack. Shore's usually strong and overwhelming guard rotation was
slightly outplayed, but not shamefully. The scores were kept close for most of
the game with Champion and Bayliss hitting 12 and 10 points. Newington then
ran away with the game and ended up winning 82-5 1.
After last week's boosting victory against Jocys, the Shore 2nds were keen to
continue their success with a win over the fancied Newington side. The game
was swift, and Newington pulled away to an early lead but Shore was able to
fight back, leading by 2 at the break. From there it was hard fought all the way
with the score locked for most of the second half. In the dying minutes
Newington pulled away, winning 4742. Top scorers:Hercus 15, Woodhouse 9.

ROWING
After determining who was not struck down with one of the dreaded
lurgies, the group of 'possibles' for the Eights squad had a light session on
Friday afternoon in the sculls in preparation for the sculling regatta on the
Nepean the following morning. Once the riggers were removed and the boats
and oars were loaded onto the trailer, the boys settled down to dinner followed
by a talk by Carter Mullins on race preparation. Perhaps there were a few
anxious sleepers at the shed that night.
The sculling regatta was to determine the First and Second Eights for the
Head of the Parramatta which is to be held on Saturday, 25th November just
before we all head off to camp. All the races were held over 2000m.
The conditions seemed very good when we arrived, however, there was a
stiff head breeze for the first and third heats. The rowers were roughly ranked
for the three heats with the first four place getters in the first heat going
straight into the First Eight. The other two joined the first five of heat two
and the winner of heat three for the A Final. The B Final had the other place
getters from heat 2 and second to four places from heat 3.
After a two hour break where they all had a good rest, attempted to replace
their energy Stores and contemplated their rowing futures, the finals were
held. The conditions became quite hot, in fact it was really a typical Penrith
Saturday. The first three of the A Final went to the First Eight with the
others going to the Second Eight. The remainder of the Second Eight came
from the B Final and there was a C Final to give all the others a second row.
Overall, there were many fine performances and we are assured of
producing very competitive crews for this season.

TENNIS REPORT
Both ists and 2nds met a traditionally formidable opponent in Newington
last Saturday and (lid so in adverse conditions as a result of illness and injury
to Shore's team members. The ists certainly missed the superiority of Glen
Bertram's play and we extend our best to him for a speedy recovery and an
early return to the courts in the near future.
Both teams have been training very hard and morale is high. The
disappointing results of Saturday's matches were not a true indication of the
strength of the games played by all team members. Special congratulations
to Simon Donnelly, however, who came Out victorious in his singles match
6-4, 6-4 for the lsts and to Brodie Kemp and Richard Druce who won their
doubles match for the 2nds 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. To the remainder of the two teams
"Well played!" for the closely contested matches, for team spirit and for good
sportsmanship.

CRICKET REPORT
Second Day vs SJC. SJC resuming at 6 for 139
The Shore team took to the field intent with the purpose of keeping the
Joey's tail to a jiggle rather than a wag. Sachs and Dorney resumed the attack
from the previous week and were immediately on line. Angus Dorney didn't
share the spoils with Sachs and took the first three wickets to fall within the
first 45 minutes, the most memorable being the first which fell to a brilliant
diving catch from Rob Shaw at point. The last wicket pair batted with pluck
and luck and put on 33 annoying ions bcfOrc Shaw took anotliet caLeb off
Dorney to wrap up the innings. This meant that Dorney had taken an amazing
8 wickets in a marathon bowling effort. His constant probing line of attack at
or just outside off stump had paid dividends. His remarkable achievement will
keep the archivists busy trying to find a better howling performance for Shore
First XI bowlers.
Falk and Shaw opened the batting and played sensibly to give a good start
to the innings. However, the innings faltered slightly when Falk was given
out LBW to a ball which may have hit leg stump and Shaw followed shortly
after caught behind. Angus Roberts came to the crease and played his usual
array of chancy shots at the start of an innings belore finding his timing and
power. He then played a number of impressive drives and cuts before he fell
to a brilliant leg side stumping. This brought together the pair of Sachs and
Dorney who had paired up bowling for most of the Joey's innings and now
had the responsibility to guide the team to victory. And they dtd. Both
showed a commendable ability to punish an1 thing loose but they do it in
very different ways. Dorney is all power and strength while Sachs is all
timing and touch. It was delightful to watch as they dissected the Joey's
bowling attack without giving a hint of a chance. Peter Sachs went on to
make a majestic hundred while Angus Dorney played a tired shot to be out for
47. Their fourth wicket stand of 125 was only broken well after the winning
total had been achieved.
All other GPS First games were drawn meaning that Shore have
established a lead in the competition.

SHORE SLS
For the first time this season we were blessed with decent surf and weather
conditions. The patrol group were especially pleased in that they had their
patrol proficiency test, this was to run very smoothly with everyone passing.
The only problem proved to be the impact of the German Measles, this
accounted for 15 of the patrollers and they will have to be examined on
Saturday 11th November.
The instruction group had a very successful morning with all groups
managing a good deal of water work on boards and tubes. Mr Hunter is quite
pleased with their progress so far this term in what is a short season in
preparation for their awards.
This weekend wilLsee the first of our open (lays at Long Reef If there are
any parents who feel that they might be willing to lend a hand in the
organisation of this and other days could they please contact Mrs Marie
Huxtable (tel 498 3312). A parent-son swim race will be the highlight of the
morning and is scheduled for about 11.45 am. There will also be a number
of presentations made to the students so we hope to see a large contingent of
parents enjoying the swim race and the barbecue lunch from about 12.30 pm.

ATTENTION!!!
The assassination of the Prime Minister of a country well over 10,000
kms away may mean nothing to you now but it has considerable
implications for peace in our time and the hope for a better world in days to
come...
The death of Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin on Sunday was a
shock and a blow both to me and to Jews all around the globe. His military
skills in the highly successful Six Day War (1967) as well as his political
accomplishments over the years have not only been a source of inspiration to
many but have provided Israel with a firm base to build upon.
For 48 year old Israel, desperately trying to exchange her hard fought
lands in return for peace, the great warrior and peace-maker will be a sorely
missed figure. Many will recall his historic handshake with P.L.O. leader
Yasser Arafat in 1993 which was the basis for his Nobel Peace Prize.
The sad story in all this is not simply that he was assassinated, or that he
was the first Israeli Prime Minister to have been, but that he was killed by
another Jew. To you this may not seem such a big matter, but for Jews this
is an unheard of occurrence. Previously (for the last 2000 years) the fight has
always been external, yet this tragic incident is forcing us to turn our eyes
inward. The extreme right movement to which the young law student
belonged is just one of many groups in Israel, yet never before has any Jew
resorted to murder of another Jew to prove a political view-point. We can
only condemn his actions.
The question we must now all ask ourselves is how far can we go in order
to do the will of G-d? The man in question proclaims, "G-d told me to do
it." Yet I ask, how can we condemn this man, yet not condemn others who
believe they are carrying Out the will of their Lord? Murder is never the
answer, there is always another way. Do not hurt others simply for the
benefit of yourself, if you do not agree with someone don't resort to violence.
Only moments before he was shot, Prime Minister Rabin was singing at
a demonstration in a push for peace. The words upon which the song was
written were in Rabin's pocket when he was shot and they were covered in
blood, yet I believe that this is not an indication of Israel's hope for peace,
the peace process which Yitzhak Rabin worked so hard for will not be in vain
and the peace accord shall continue, at a faster rate than before due to his
untimely death. For this we can only hope and pray that those who follow in
Rabin's footsteps have the courage and determination to stand up for what
they believe in and for what we all deserve ... A chance for peace.
I have a friend who was at the rally and she said that all there truly wanted
to see an end to the violence. The grief was evident by the many thousands
crying in the streets. Wars can be stopped, if we all try, and for Israelis, one
out of every two of whom have seen a brother, father, son die in war, now is
the time for peace, before more deaths occur. To quote Mr. Rabin "we can
not let the land flowing with milk and honey become a land flowing with
blood and tears."
The road to peace has been long and hard. Thankfully it was a Jew or
possibly war could be far more likely than many of us would otherwise like
to believe and worse than we may think. At any rate "the great peacemaker"
is dead and we can only hope that through his death, war everywhere will
cease and each can be in accord with all.
Please discuss this issue with your friends and family (teachers even).
Any letters in reply to this editorial, or simply your opinions on this matter
are welcome.
Yours in Peace,

PLAGUE HITS SHORE
Last week German Measles, or Rubella, hit shore in plague proportions.
The Sergeants Major report that over two hundred people were away last
Monday alone. Rumours were raging about who, or what, started spreading
the virus at Shore. The H.S.C. candidates were some of the worst hit, and
several had to be quarantined in separate rooms. Perhaps this was a cunning
ploy by several students to cheat, as teachers were banned from entering.
LETTER
Dear Sir,
Your proliferation of Communist articles last week in the SWR was
heartening! It is great to see that our donations to the SWR committee
members' bank accounts are being well utilised. Eventually we will be
successful, and your deeds will not go forgotten in our restructuring of the
various school institutions.
Gratefully,
Students For Socialism For Shore (SFSFS)

MOCK TRIAL SUCCESS
Students have obtained victory over the evil Masters in the Mock Trial
last week. The students: Aaron Cornish, Nick Pickard, Andrew Keeling, Ed
Martin, Chris Wenden and Alex Doughty, were the defendants, and the
Masters: Mr McLeod, Mrs Foulsham, Mr Patrick, Mr Godden and Mr
Reynolds, were the prosecution. Unfortunately due to some infectious virus
spreading around the school last week, various roles had to be swapped,
creating confusion for several prosecution witnesses, and the judge, Mr
Wells.
The defence put forward an excellent case, finding many holes in the
prosecution's arguments, and achieving a 'not guilty' verdict for their client.
However, due to profound bias, the judge found that the prosecution had
argued better and therefore gave them the case. How this works exactly I find
difficult to understand. If my lawyers were able to convince judge/jury of
reasonable doubt in a case, then I would hardly care whether they won some
sort of legal tussle between themselves. So, therefore I think the students
won. So there!
Perhaps in the next Mock Trial, the students/Masters could be tried by
their peers (i.e.: students, we are the greatest proportion!), instead of one
biased master, sorry judge.

TIPS
Great Battles of World War 2 (Q 940.542 Gre) is a great answer to any
essay on World War 2. It holds brilliant in-depth descriptions of battles that
dug the grave for Nazi Germany, including the Battle of Britain, Pearl
Harbour, El Alamein, D-Day and Stalingrad. This spectacular analysis
includes campaigns and battles as well as at-a-glance diaries of such. With
over 500 photos it is an overall visual history of victory, defeat and past
glory.
Next we review A View of the Universe (522.63 Mal) which is the most
down to earth book on the universe ever written. The lavish illustrations
will interest anyone who has ever looked at the sky. The essence of the
photos of nebulae and galaxies will prove that David Malin is the foremost
astronomical photographer (yawn), one is sure that anyone who even glances
at this book will never allow it out of his/her sight. A must for all people
who stare into space.
Finally we look at The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Rock (781.66 Ult). No
you Opera mad imbeciles!, not the "geology" sort of rock but the type that
shaped the world that we know. Beginning with the background of
rockn'roll, Elvis has to be at the start with the likes of Bill Haley and Chuck
Berry, this book goes through legends, an a-z of rock, rock performance, reck
records, rock culture and rock data. The book goes through the 'Hippy' era,
covering bands such as "The Doors". "The Rolling Stones", "Jimi Hendrix"
and comes right up to the 1992, which includes "Nivarna", 'Pearl Jam" and
"Madonna" the sex Goddess herself.

RESULTS FOR SATURDAY, 4TH NOVEMBER, 1995
CRICKET
BASKETBALL REPORT
This week Shore played a strong group of sides from Grammar with the
Firsts having the toughest job against a side tipped to rattle the impressive
Newington outfit. The Seconds had a hard fought game and looked like
defeating the Grammar side. Drew Woodhouse kept Shore in the game with
12 points, but missed foul shots by the team eventually lost it for Shore, 4543.
The Firsts side was lacking in the usual players with German Measles
crippling the side. Josh Stuart and Mike Hercus were just recovering from
the disease and Phil Orchard and James Gribble not able to play. James Bull
and Charles Hercus stepped up though and gave everything to assist the side.
Once again Shores front court was outplayed by Grammars classy side
including Oliver Penman, a CIS representative. Josh Stuart and Michael
Bayliss were the best players on the day, as a lack of preparation hung over
Shores head. Rob Knox started Shore off well in the second half with a
strong baseline drive resulting in a powerful two hand dunk. The defence was
lacking and Shore was running away from its offence and so was falling
behind quickly.
The Captain, Cameron Kennard, tried rallying the Shore side but
Grammar played an excellent transition game and came Out easy winners 8765. Josh Stuart top scored with 19 points and Michael Bayliss with 12.

The weather was to let us down again with heavy rain greeting those early
birds setting up for the open day. As the morning progressed however the
skies cleared a little to allow a glimpse of the sun by midday. The surf was
however perfect for training being small and offshore, both groups took
advantage of these conditions with a few of the Masters attempting to hone
their skills on board and boat with mixed success!
Mrs. Huxtable and her band of many helpers put on a great barbecue to
cater for a good turnout of about 70 parents. The parent-son swim race was
again a well competed event although the mums once again were noticeable
by their absence! There are no surprises for the winners, the results are as
follows:
Lindsay and David May
John and Giles Austin
Arthur and Phil Huxtable

On arrival at Weigall the news spread quickly that Ed Cay was in hospital
with appendicitis and could not play. This meant that Hamish Esplin was to
be called up from the seconds. The weather looked doubtful but the wicket
was dry and hard and we started on time. Shore won the toss and elected to
bat. The openers, Shaw and Falk gave the team a solid start and managed to
endure several showers and at lunch the score was 0 for 90. First ball after
lunch Falls was Out for 40. Angus Roberts came in and despite some nervous
moments early on, went about destroying the bowling attack. He raced along
and added 86 to Rob Shaw's 17 before Shaw was Out for 47 after a near
flawless support role and the score stood at 2 for 202 (112 run partnership).
Angus Roberts, with a flurry of 4's brought up his century and was 101 not
Out at tea, completing his century in a session. Shortly after tea Roberts was
run Out for a very entertaining and well deserved 106; the score stood at 3 for
237. Angus Domey, batting at number 4 and Peter Sachs lifted the run rate
and Dorney reached his half century with ease. Sachs was content just to
give Dorney the strike and the combination proved formidable once again,
with a partnership of 78 unbroken (Dorney, 67 no.; Sachs, 21 n.o.). A
declaration with the score at 3 for 315 gave Grammar 19 overs to face in the
deteriorating light and weather.
Shore took the field, eager to make in-roads into the Grammar line-up.
The Grammar captain was in a very aggressive mood and smashed the
bowling all around the oval, but Hugh Brakell had other ideas. Bowling in
the light rain and overcast conditions, he was far too quick for any batsman to
sec and picked up a wicket in his second over. Two overs later, he dismissed
the Grammar captain for 30 (out of 40 runs scored) thanks to a sharp catch at
second slip by Angus Dorney. The umpires offered the batsmcn the light and
they were off the field in a flash, much to the disappointment of the Shore
team. Play never resumed, leaving Grammar at 2 for 40.

ROWING
"Let us row forward together"
- Winston Churchill
TENNIS REPORT
Last Saturday at Northbridge the lsts met a surprisingly strong Grammar
side. After a morning of rain the courts were slippery and hard to contend
with for both teams. Grammar ended up with a strong victory of 8 matches
to 1. Sadly the end result does not give a good indication of the spirit shown
on Saturday, but it appears that the team is starting to settle in and find some
good rhythm, which it will need when facing Riverview (a traditionally
strong opponent) next week. Glen Bertram is still not able to be with us due
to illness and neither is Mark Harris, due to injury suffered during the week's
training. Our thanks to Brodie Kemp who moved up from the 2nds last week
to cover the mentioned injuries. Most of all congratulations to Stephen
Dubé who managed to secure the win last Saturday of 6-2, 7-6.
Overall it was an exciting day of tennis enjoyed by all. Good luck to all
tennis teams for their matches against Riverview on Saturday.
The 2nds were narrowly defeated 4 matches to 5. Newcomers Ashley
Simpson and Hugh Gardiner won their singles matches in devastating fashion
and two of the doubles pairs were victorious in three sets.

"PRESIDENT YITZHAK RABIN ASSASSINATED"
"10,000 REFUGEES SLAUGHTERED"
"BRUTAL MURDER AT SYDNEY NIGHTCLUB"
"TEENAGE GIRL RAPED THEN MURDERED"
It is often difficult to look upon the world as a being a place of peace and
even harmony. But as many people will suggest there still exists both
within todays society.
Almost everyday our newspapers are covered with headlines such as these.
Headlines that make us feel that the world we are living in cannot get any
worse. For many people reading the newspapers each day is simply a task
that they find just too upsetting and why wouldn't they. To read of stories of
murder, rape, assassination, etc., makes us wonder what the world is coming
to or where the world is going. It appears that reality really does bite!
Not surprisingly the news programs transmit a quite similar view of the
way the world is. These programs have often been described as the most
depressing on television during the day and it is no surpnse that at the end of
each news bulletin there is a story that gives the viewers a nice warm,
'everything is all right' feeling, more commonly referred to as a 'warm fuzzy'.
The news stations do their very best to lull us into a false sense of security
about the state of the world. But it doesn't take a very intelligent person to
realise that the state of this world is far from all right. Not surprisingly such
questions from many people arise: 'Why does this happen?' and 'Isn't God in
control?.
When many people are upset, hurt or depressed they resort to asking
'why?'. These people realise that the Christians of the world claim that God
is in control always and when they see the world in the state that it is at the
present, it is often difficult for them to understand that God IS ALWAYS in
control.
During times of hurt and sorrow, it is often hard to think that there is
someone in control. Not surprisingly when things are going right it is far
easier to except that there is someone in control. That person is God
Himself. No matter whether times are good or times are bad He IS control of
the world.
Many people seem to think not only that Christians live in their own
little world where peace and harmony reign supreme, but that being a
Christian is a alternative to reality. This coulctht be further from the truth.
If anything, Christians are the first to understand that times have been and are
far from peaceful. But one thing we do know and believe is that no matter
how bad or how hard life gets God is in CONTROL.
So next time you feel like your life or even the society around you bears
extreme similarities to that of a roller coaster, know that God is firmly in
control and he cares not only for you but for the society in which you live.

The Editor
Shore Weekly Record
Dear Mr Kimpton,
I write to you for two reasons:
To clarify the propaganda promulgated upon the public re. the Masters vs
Boys Mock Trial results.
To inform you of pending litigation against you and your publication.
Not only was your article misleading but it was quite false and indeed
libellous. In fact, about the only truth came in the title, "Mock Trial
Success", which it was - for the Masters and the game, not the boys! Your
use of the word 'evil' in regard to the Masters is defamation in the extreme
and as such expect a subpoena pending civil action. Furthermore, your
allusion to myself as the sitting magistrate (not 'judge'!) as being confused
brought the bench's integrity into question - an unforgivable action of
contempt. Hence, my invocation of the Judicial Standing Rules to have you
and your team struck from the legal registry. In fact, suggesting that I am
'biased' is a criminal offence which may well form the basis of next year's
action. One you will no doubt forfeit should your team pursue similar tactics
in the future.
Finally, your suggestion that in future the trial be judged by 'peers' is
typical of your flawed logic and misplaced sense of justice. If we are to
assume these peers are indeed your equals then they could only bring the law
into further disrepute via their ignorance of this great and noble bastion of
civilised society as you have.
See you in court.
In sympathy,
B.M. Wells
Magistrate of the Mock Court and Master of all things legal

Question 2: This drawing is taken from the BBC production of Emma, by
Jane Austen. It is a picture of a young girl, Harriet Smith, by Emma
Woodhouse. In the story, a Mr Elton spends a day taking it to London to
have it framed:
SWR Competition
Round 12
With Just one round of this semesters to go (including this week's), the
competition has reached a crisis. Interest appeared to wane with Round 11.
Perhaps it was because the draft copy question 1 ended up going to print,
meaning that it still needed a few more full stops, commas and re-wording
before it quite made sense. Or maybe the lead of The Anti-Star seemed
uncloseable. We waited for a fourth enlry from the twenty teams two extra
weeks before coming to the conclusion that Round 12, the final, would need
some kind of boost.
So, the competition is back, with a vengeance and a big dose of steroids.
Quadruple points will be awarded making a total of 240 possible points
for the six questions of the last round. So the usual 1, 2, 3, 4 or 10 points
per question becomes 4, 8, 12, 16 or 40. This means the title is still up for
grabs, and even new teams have a chance. Remember to have your entries in
the Record Room door by Monday 3.00pm. Remember, if an answer's a 40
out of 40 and will pass censorship, we'll print it. So far, only S.R. & E.P.
have ever done both and got their answer into the SWR.
1:,
What do the movement, tone and mood embodied in this drawing convey to
about the character and motives of this girl? Points will be awarded if you
can find the link between the carefree nature of the brushstrokes and the
revolutionary ideas of the time about the real purpose of the Indian
earthworm's second pair of earlobes.
Question 3: Complete the squiggle:
The Points Table:
There was rampant decay of scores this week due to failure to enter from most
teams. The notable exception was the Anti-Star, who didn't bother answering
the questions much but had a lot to say anyway, consolidated his lead.
'Y.A's.C.Ts.' also put in an appearance, as did 'D.E. from the I-I.S.C.S.'.
None of the answers were exactly witty; perhaps 4th term exams are draining
the last of people's creativity.

A Changeroom Chat with
Mr. McLeod and Mr. Dewey
Welcome back to this great segment and all that, let's cut to the chase'
and 'get down to the nitty-gritty' for 'there is nothing to fear except fear itself
and 'don't ask what your countiy can do for you but what you can do for your
country' whilst never forgetting that 'a rolling stone gathers no moss' when 'a
bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'. In other words, it feels great to be
back.
Not many of you know that in the school with us at this very moment
we have two extremely extraordinary examples of exciting people, but not for
long. You see, Mr. Dewey being originally from Great Britain (poor sod) is
only on loan from the Rugby School, and Mr. McLeod has all these years
been studying Law at University. One might say that they are Shore's
answer to Laurel and Hardie, or you might not as well. Anyway both are to
leave the Shore community at the end of the year and I thought it extremely
befitting that I catch up with them whilst drinking a cup of tea and wondering
why the English are really so inferior to us Aussies...
Firstly, Mr. Dewey from a British perspective how has
Australia treated you?
Mr. Dewey: Very well but that's probably only because you won the ashes,
and probably everything else you play in such as 'GLADIATORS' (I bet
losing that really hurt!).
Secondly, Mr. McLeod, from an Australian perspective how
has Australia treated you?
Mr. McLeod: Very gently, it's very easy to live in a place where you're World
Champions at everything, except probably Mastermind (we're working on it).
Mr. Dewey - do you know what a XXXX, sheila and a meat
pie are? Or hasn't Mr. McLeod introduced you to them yet?
D: No, I haven't met any of them yet.
Mr. Dewey . are you the Rugby School's equivalent of our
own Mr. 'cool' McLeod?
D: No, I'm not left-handed (at what?).
I hear that you, Mr. Mcleod, if I can call you that, are leaving
Shore to take up a career at the bar (the legal kind, mind
you). Is this because you feel that you need more authority
to control your students?
M: No, I would just like to spend a lot of time with men in wigs (that's a
reasonable enough answer).
Mr. Dewey - did you ever get called 'decimal system' at
school? Or am I just being stupid?
D: Well there has never been that system in England as it comes from
A,nerica, so you're definitely being the latter.
Is it true that water goes down the plug-hole backwards in the
Northern Hemisphere?
D: Well funnily enough I haven't given it much thought.
Mr. McLeod . upon meeting Mr. Dewey has your attitude
towards the British changed at all?
M: Yes, he broadened my horizons of what British are capable of but I always
knew they were whingers.
Mr. Dewey - upon meeting Mr. McLeod, has your attitude
towards us Aussies changed at all?
D: Well, all the stereotypes have been made uh.. ..ah.
M: ...stereotypical?
....
D: yes that's it. I never realised that Australians had an intellectual side and
a dry wit usually associated with the Mother Country.
Mr. Dewey - bearing in mind your newfound suntan and
knowledge on how to play rugby and cricket, do you risk
being a social outcast when you return home?
D: No, there is no reason why I should be, I was a social outcast before I
came. That's why they sent me here (sort of like a convict being punished).
Are you both sad to leave Shore?
M: Yes, it will be remorseful when I walk Out the gate for the last time but I
am looking forward to a new adventure. I can finally stop waking up and
having to go to school (I bet your mum still packs your bag as well),
D: Certainly I will be sad but in the words of the great Austrian Philosopher,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, I' might be back'. I am keen to join up with Mr.
Arnott in our rugby partnership again seeing as this year was so successful.
But I've been told that there are 3 girls in my class at home so that should be
nice.
Well, as per usual, it has been extremely enjoyable chatting
to you both and I feel that I now have come a step closer to
understanding teachers, and hence have definitely decided it is
not the career option for me. I wipe a tear from my eye as I
bid you both adieu and wish you all the best of luck for the
future, especially you Mr. Dewey as being British, you'll need
it.
That's all from this part of the world, I hear you say what has happened to
all the sporting interviews and I reply that the time will come again for this
segment to once again enter its favoured dominion. Be faithful and remember
'all comes to ye who waits'.
This was proudly brought to you by green flashing lights, the colour
cyan, the letter aitch and, need I say more, the Locker Room Legend.

The Column Of Love #3
It has appeared to me that over the past weeks many people with absolutely
no experience in the area of love have been attempting to give the school
community advice on the subject. I'd like to start by applauding J.D.L. for
his letter. It is quite true that someone with more experience than C.J.W.
should be writing the column. That is where I come in. I have had more
experience on the 'love road' than Sean Connery and Robert Redford
combined, and my pick-up lines have had more success than James Bond. So
I have decided to share my years of successful experience with the Shore
community.
It has often been said that love is not something you look for - it is
something you merely trip over. If that is the case then I can imagine
C.J.W. is always on his feet. But we shouldn't be so quick to cnucise the
man. It is difficult to give advice on something you have had absolutely no
experience with. He managed to do extremely well. A very good friend of
mine told me last week that immediately after reading C.J.W.'s article he had
instant success at the local library.
My advice deals with how to break up an unhappy and unsuccessful
relationship. It has often been shown, through anecdotal evidence that the
best way to break off an unhappy relationship is with the far too often used
line 'I think we should just be friends'. However, those of you who have
been on the giving or receiving end of such a line will know that the minute
the relationship is over a friendship will be the last thing on both your
minds. Sad, but unfortunately often true.
The most difficult thing in life is usually finding that special someone and
this is where my years of experience at 'Desperate and Dateless Bails' comes
in handy. The 'pick-up' line that I've had the most experience with is 'So,
where do you live?' or 'Do you catch the train to school?' (courtesy of an exNewington boy). Probably one of my all-time favourites is the age-old
classic 'Hey Baby, want to come for a ride in my Monaro?' (WARNING:
This line can only be of use if you actually own a Monaro or a car with
similar features to that of a Monaro!). I can guarantee all of you lonely
people out there that if you use such lines you will have instant success.
However, if you don't use these lines on the right people I can guarantee that
what you will have is an instant 'palming'.
So if the advice of C.J.W. was completely impractical and you are not smart
enough to use R.M.C.'s advice, than this advice is for everyone. The first
time you see that special someone whether she goes to Abbotsleigh or not,
begin your conversation with our suggested starters.
So until I write again may all your flirting go right.

SHORE SLS NOTICE
At last we were blessed with fine conditions at Long Reef. The surf was
very small but ideal for both groups to do a lot of water work. S unblock was
essential as was the wearing of sun hats and anyone found not in possession
of one at uniform check under the eye of Mr Meakins also found themselves
on clean up duties with me at the end of the day's proceedings.
The patrol group completed a marathon event including a run to both the
trig station and Dee Why plus a long board paddle and swim. Many of the
group then had a special training session with two guest coaches on board and
ski , next week this should continue plus beach sprints and beach flags. At
the same time the remainder of the group were put through their paces on a
continuous swimming session by Mr Bird and Mr Dobb.
The instruction group had their last free Saturday of training before their
exams on the last two Saturdays. This Thursday they all have their theory
test at school so there is no let up in the study even though exams have
finished at school. Another two groups of ARC also do their theory exam at
North Curl Curl whilst the first group do their practical exam. By the time
of reading all of these students will know their fate so hopefully I'll be
writing congratulations next week!

TENNTS REPORT
Last Saturday the Ists played a highly regarded Riverview team. The
Shore team was suffering a little from illness and injury. Shore battled hard
in hot conditions but were defeated by 7 matches to 2. This result does not
reflect the potential of the team, which will be almost equal to Riverview
when at full strength. We wish Glen Bertram a speedy recovery from his
illness.
Congratulations to Mark Harris and Simon Donnelly, who won their
Doubles in devastating form 6-0, 6-2. Simon also won his singles 6-2, 6-0.
The 2nds also lost 7 matches to 2. Brodie Kemp played well in his
singles to win in three sets. Brodie and Richard Druce teamed up to win
their doubles also in three Sets. There were a couple of unlucky losses to
Marcus Samut and Tomas Pym in their 3-set singles matches.

Resuming at 2-40, Grammar were in a precarious position. Victory for
Shore, however, was made even more uncertain when Hugh Brake!l sustained
a finger injury on Friday afternoon. Dave Falk provided an interesting start
to the day when he opened the bowling to continue Hugh's unfinilihed Over.
Two relatively quick wickets seemed to dash Grammar's chance of clinching
first innings points. However, to their credit they fought back during the
latter half of the first session. At lunch victory for Shore seemed 'inevitable'
with Grammar six down with a mere 108 runs to their credit. A lethargic
fielding effort meant the strike was rotating continuously and the bowlers
therefore found it difficult to get wickets. Spin was introduced to clean up
the remaining batsmen but no wickets were forthcoming. Grammar gradually
gained a grip on the game in the second session. By punishing the loose
deliveries they were able to overcome the impact of their poor start and by
drinks they were six for 234. A change in the attack saw Hamish Oates make
the much needed breakthrough and the mainstay of the Grammar batting line
up back in the pavilion. The tail quickly followed and by tea they were all
out for 240.
Shore decided to take advantage of the remaining time by giving the
middle and lower order valuable batting practice. Scott Barrett and James
Packman scored the bulk of the 111 runs and Gus Roberts, in typical cavalier
fashion, also contributed.
In other results, the 2nd XI enjoyed a crushing victory by taking eight
wickets for nine runs and the 3rd XI also was convincing in their win against
Grammar.

LETTER
Comrade 'Master of all things legal",
Due to this publication's total lack of funds, we were unable to employ
any sufficiently learned defence counsel to prattle on in their meaningless
jargon and refute your petty letter in the name of justice and fair-play. As
mere members of the great unwashed we are untrained in the ways of lawyers
and their infelicitous incomprehensible rhetoric. Therefore we cannot dispute
your subpoena legally, so we'll doit illegally. If your legal threats ever
come into fruition, you (and your team of trainee attorneys) will bear the
brunt of this publication's displeasure and ridicule. (Consider yourselves
fortunate that we are still censored by one of your own!) Your holiness will
understand that this is not blackmail, but a mere desperate attempt by us to
save face in this unforgiving world. Too many people in this world are too
eager to cast the firs: stone, do you not agree. Your Majesty?
Finally, your worship will realise that in this civilised society in which
we like to think we live in, we are tried by our peers in real courts of law.
These peers, most of whom are not trained and educated as yourselves, must
have flawed logic and a misplaced sense of justice as well, and therefore you
then claim that our whole legal system is called into disrepute! Sir, this is
defamation in the extreme, and will be questioned in the trial 'The People and
State vs. Wells, Patrick, McLeod, Foulsham, Reynolds, Godden & Co.".
See you in court.
In compassion,
The People, students, animals, plants, SWRC and The Editor.

Dear Sir,
As you will see, this week is blessed with many Quotes of the Week.
Unlike previous committee's we have not resorted to inventing them when

Shin's 30 year monopoly over?
Lately, gossip on the new and elaborate awning outside the Sergeant
Major's window being built has been circling viciously. Rumour has it that
in an effort to subsidise the lavish construction it is being used to shade a
new outdoor cafe: "La Drille Parade", boasting the status of being the only
accessory of the world hospitality industry to take swipes at any who do not
call the waiters "Sir'. Alternatively, the S-Ms will employ their human
resources, forcing all morning latecomers to serve 25 mins of waiting, and
sources report that the cafe will be open for extended hours and menus on
Friday afternoon. Irish coffee will NOT be served.
Blacks and Whites conflict ends
With the end of the school year of 1995, it appears the invasion of the
whiteboard through Shore School has been halted. The blackboard and chalk
has been made way for in the name of progress for the modern whiteboard
throughout most of the school, the Maths and English rooms of lower
benefactors remaining the last blackboard stronghold. The effects have been
an easing of strain on eyes and an end to writing on wails and desks with
fingers in the chalkdust layer. Finally, it has been suggested that overuse of
the odoriferous black markers, considering the chemicals inside, may be
beneficial to the creative and imaginative art and music departments, but is
not recommended for accurate calculations in maths and physics. Masters
should think twice before offering punishment for dazedness...
TIPS
HOLIDAY READING
Books and cassettes can now be borrowed from the Library over the
holidays. The Library has a collection of readings of books on cassette. They
are great entertainment during long car trips.
Please return or renew any overdue books before the end of year.

SAMPLE 2-UNIT RELATED ENGLISH ESSAY
How do the characters in "Romeo and Juliet" convey
different concepts of and attitudes towards love?
Q:
Shakespeare's characters convey different concepts of and attitudes towards
love in a few methods. However within these few methods, there is a greater
variation as to what is said i.e. the content rather than the method is the
decisive factor. Firstly, love poetry is used which is generally in the form of
Sonnets. These are a weak conveyor since all sense of realism disappears
when they are used. Secondly, plain prose is used by the characters to convey
the characters' attitudes towards love. This is the most realistic form of
communication since it revolves around how people actually talk without
trying to rhyme everything they say off the tops of their heads. Finally,
humour is used to show how the characters feel about the issue of love. This
is a very real method of communication since what makes people laugh and
also the audience will show up clearly their attitudes towards love, around
which this whole play is based.
Romeo puts forward his views on love through many sonnets and
imagery. This is because he is romantically/physically in love with Rosaline
and then Juliet. He is, as a result, very inefficient in conveying his message
since it takes a great deal of time for him to say what is on his mind.
Furthermore the whole concept is utterly unrealistic since it is simply not
possible to come up with the kind of fancy language he does. Juliet behaves
in a similar fashion since they are both emotionally effected by this "love".
Friar Lawrence, again uses 'clever' little rhymes and what not to convey
his message of love in the marital/religious sense. However, the Friar is
much more prone to using "everyday" old English to show people of his
attitudes towards love. He does not really believe in the romantic sense of
'love' since being a Friar, he presumably would not have experienced it.
The Nurse, on the other hand is a different case. She uses smutty, bawdy
language throughout the play to convey her message. However, she too is
prone to Shakespeare's inefficiencies of communication using rhyme on
occasion. In addition, this smutty language extends to jokes with an obvious
sexual kilter. She does not extend to the cast nor the audience any indication
in believing in any other form of love.
In conclusion, the characters in Romeo & Juliet use several methods to
convey their attitudes towards and concepts of love. All characters have the
one common fault of having been created by William Shakespeare and in so
being, utilise pathetic sonnets and the like to complicate linguistically a
relatively simple issue that could be stated far easier. Furthermore, these
complications add nothing meaningful to the play and if anything detract
from it by confusing the observer. This aside, the characters use humour,
poetry and 'plain' speech to show their attitudes of love in its apparently
different forms.

Shore Weekly Record
A Changeroom Chat with
Mr. Rownes
flow many years have you taught at Shore?
Ifirst came here 13 years ago, but! have only worked]] years full-time with
3 of those in the Prep.
What will be your fondest memories of Shore as you leave,
besides the mighty 4 XV this year?
4th
Well, the
XV would have to be a highlight, certainly the sport because of
my interest in it. That's one thing about sport is that you get to see the
boys in a different light (I think mine would definitely be pink).
I can't resist asking you the question on everyone's mind, do
you have silicon implants in your legs?
I prefer to keep it a secret but, yes, they are implants (it increases his whole
attractiveness, or so he thinks!). You might be interested in implants in
other areas, though (I've thought about it but my biceps are big enough
anyway).
Are there any memorable falls or mishaps that have occurred
in your time supervising gymnastics and diving?
Yeah, there have been a few crashes into the vaulting box but I won't
mention any names. There have been some memorable mishaps off the 3
metre diving board from kids attempting and not attempting somersaults,
there haven't been any deaths yet though. I still haven't dived yet though (I
think we just found our going away present for him).
Is it just me or does your whole wardrobe consist of stubbies
shorts and penguin shirts?
I resent the term stubbies, I'm very conscious of labels. Anyway you're
wrong, sometimes I wear "Canterbury" gear (I bet they even have the pin
stripes down the side like the 70's).
Give us a quick rundown of the life of J. Rownes, Esq.?
I went to Lane Cove Public School, and a special feature was the "bullring",
which was an asphalt pit and only the toughest could survive, Mr. Cameron
would remember, of course I survived, I have never cried in my life (except
when Bouncer died in "Neighbours"). I then went to North Sydney High
School, boys, of course (that was my next question). And! went to Mitchell
College and studied Advanced Education but I spent most of the time
studying the local gutters (I wonder why that was?).
Is it true that when you were a youngster your Mum swapped
your rattle for a bar bell?
No, she wouldn't have done anything like that.
What are you going to miss most about Shore?
Why you, of course. I always wanted to do teaching and I liked doing it.
That's one thing about leaching, and! know it sounds like a cliché (that's
probably because it is) but it is a very rewarding job. Teaching PE has its
limitations though, you can't teach it forever.
Now that you're sort of retiring from teaching you will
become one of the few immortals from Shore, are there any
famous last words before you leave?
"It's been good" (Is that all you can say, here was your big chance to leave us
with a pearl of wisdom and that's all you can say, not even a "very" good).
Well the year has finally come to an end and not a moment too soon
either, not that I don't appreciate writing such humorous articles each week.
There has to be at least one in the SWR each week! Well enough of the
compulsory chit-chat I must get down to the real business at hand, and no
that's not making complete fools of the people who I interview because that
is not how this segment works (although sometimes I forget). Up till now
I've have tried hard to bring you an entertaining article each week and this
week is no different. I can't believe how fast this half of my service has
gone, and to think that in another six months you will be without your
regular dose of quality entertainment but hey! life's tough, especially at the
top, I should know.
To continue on from last week's interview with teachers who are leaving
Shore I have decided to conclude SWR '95 with a very special person, indeed.
Many teachers have been regarded as legends over the years but none so more
than one person who seemed to capture the mind and imagination of all at
Shore. One man brought to Shore what "Thomas the Tank Engine" brought
to children's' television - realism and sanity. While I was recently in the
gym bench-pressing numerous amounts of weights without raising a sweat I
struck up a conversation with a man having extreme difficulty in doing a
push up and this is what he said....
Firstly, it saddens me deeply to learn that you are to leave
Shore, tell me it's not true?
That's very flattering but, yes, it's true (Oh! the sadness of it all).
Excuse the rudeness but where are you going?
I'm going to work full-time with Gordon Rugby Club as Development
Manager. I will be working with schools and junior rugby clubs, organising
training camps and player recruitment and development of Juniors, Colts and
Grade.
It has been an extreme pleasure to have talked to you today
even if you do have silicon implants. I think I may be
supremely arrogant, and on behalf of the whole school, all the
Old Boys who knew you, and everyone else who ever had
anything to do with Shore over the past 13 years, wish you
all the best in your future job and may it be far less stressful
As a token of our appreciation I
than teaching at Shore.
would like to present you with a discount coupon to Ashley
and Martin. It's been a pleasure to know you.
I can't believe it but the year has finally come to an end. Over the last
six months I hope that I have entertained you nearly half as much as I said
have (even that's pushing it). For all of you out there with a tear in your
eye, fear not, for I will return in the new year to once again deliver you with
your weekly dose of arrogance. It's been fun and have a great holiday (two
whole months without this article, ugh! it's a scary thought).
This article was proudly brought to you by the Oompa-Loompa's, green
stop signs, deaf fish, the numbers from 1 to infinity, all the letters of the
Greek alphabet, and once again, your ever-faithful craftsmen, the
LockerRoom Legend.

CRICKET REPORT
Shore vs SHS
Last Saturday the Shore eleven played Sydney High at Northbridge, on a
good batting wicket with a relatively quick outfield. Shore won the toss and
David Falk elected to bat. Falk and Shaw went to the centre ready to repeat
the previous weeks partnership. This, however, was not to be. Falk was
caught behind from a fiery short ball. Angus Roberts came to the crease and
played an array of electrifying shots, punishing anything loose until getting
out for 39 to a super catch.
A focused Peter Sachs entered the arena and played as stylishly as ever.
He went on to make a majestic 144 not Out. He shared in a solid 94 run
partnership with Rob Shaw which was broken when Shaw fell victim to a
sharp yorker ending a long and sensible innings of 38. Angus Domey paired
up with Sachs and they were looking good until Dorney also fell victim to a
very good catch and was Out for 26. This saw James Packman take to the
crease. It was delightful to watch Sachs and Packman dissect the High
bowling attack. At 54 runs Packman tried to hook one of the bowlers to the
boundary and was caught at point, thus ending a well structured mnings.
Soon after tea Shore declared, 6 for 335, hoping to take a few early
wickets. However, light was offered to the High batsmen who accepted,
leaving behind eleven wicket-hungry players. This spell was soon followed
by a storm which led to the departure of one of our significant team members
who will remain anonymous. After several frantic phone calls he returned to
Northbridge, the rain ceased and play resumed. However after one fiery over
by Hugh Brakell light ended play for a second time.

ROWING
Fine conditions greeted the inaugural Sydney Rowing Club Junior
Regatta held at Abbotsford last Saturday. This regatta was unusual in that all
the races were held over the sprint distance of 1000m. Shore had entrants in
the Under 18 Single Scull, Under 18 Four plus Cox and Under 16 Quadruple
Scull with Shore winning or coming close in every race entered.
In the sculls, 4 races were entered, the majority of the entrants being
Shore First and Second Eight rowers. Race 1 saw Aaron MarshallMcCormack come second narrowly to an ex-Newington 1st VIII rower with
Michael trvine third due to sickness. Race 2 had Rowan Cook winning from
Nic White and James Campbell. Race 3 saw Nick Smith winning narrowly
from a club entrant while in Race 4 Rhys Brett dominated.
In the Under 18 Coxed Four, Shore's 1st Four was pipped at the post by
Cranbrook's First Four by less than a second while Shore's 3rd Four won the
second race from our own 2nd Four. A performance of note was the Fourth
Four, winning by a length over the 'Third Fours' of other schools. More
remarkable is that due to a broken seat, Ilamish Beattie rowed the entire race
by the seat of his rowing suit; backside flat on the slide!
In the Under 16 Quad. Sculls, Sydney Boys' High 1st Quad won from
Shore's 1st and 2nd Quad. In the following race it was an all Shore affair
with the Shore 3rd, 4th and 5th Quads coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively
from other assorted crews that raced.
This weekend the Eights, Fours and Junior Eights are entered in the
annual Sydney Rowing Club Head of the Parramatta River Regatta.
An excerpt from a speech from Douglas J-Iaig (1861-1928): Commanderin-Chief of the British forces in France for the greater part of the First World
War addressed to his troops on the night of April 12, 1918 while involved in
the Battle of Lys: "Every position must be held to the last; there must be no
slackening off. With our backs to the wall, and believing in the ability of
our crews, each one of you must row on to the end."
resulting in strong defence by the allies which prevented the Germans
achieving their objectives and thereby ending the last major German assault
before their ultimate defeat a few months later.

TENNIS REPORT
Last Saturday the ists played at Parklands against Sydney High School.
With court temperatures reaching well over 30 degrees, not only the tennis
was hot. All the doubles matches were lost. Bigg and Kemp fought hard,
but went down in three sets, 7-5 2-6, 4-6. Dube and Donnelly were beaten
decisively in straight sets. Samut and Cribb were unable to finish off their
opponents in the third set and went down 3-6, 6-2, 5-7.
The singles showed some pleasing results, with Stephen Cribb playing
his first cap and winning in straight sets 7-5, 6-4. Stephen Dube played his
strong attacking game, showing no mercy beating his opponent 6-1, 6-1.
Brodie Kemp showed fight in winning his singles in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3.
Overall the lsts went down to a good High team 3 matches to 6.
The 2nds were victorious 6-3, with Richard Druce and Abhilash Menon
playing gutsy singles matches.

BASKETBALL REPORT
Last week Shore ists and 2nds played in the Raschke Cup at High and
Riverview respectively. First up Shore played High. The game was intense
and Shore used their height advantage with Rob Knox sconng many valuable
points. Shore pulled away easily to win by 10. The next game was against
a cocky Riverview side, with Shore eager to avenge its loss the previous
week. The game went bucket for bucket until the end when several silly
mistakes cost Shore the game losing by 3 points. Josh Stuart handled the
pressure well scoring 15 points. The last match was against a weakened
Scots lineup. Shore statied well and pulled away to a 40 point vitciry.
Much of this could be attributed to James Gribble's steals and Cam Kennard's
sharp shooting.
The Seconds having the same draw as the Firsts won one game and lost
two. A special mention should be given to Mr. Patterson's 15As who had a
win on Saturday playing a fantastic game. This week the ists and 2nds play
Scots in the Shore Gym. Support from the junior teams would be greatly
appreciated.

It was pleasing to see another fine day at Long Reef, the early cloud gave
way to mostly clear conditions and by late morning warm temperatures. The
instruction group had a very successful exam day on Thursday with only three
students needing to be re-tested early Saturday morning. The examiners were
able to test not only theory but also signals, radio and resuscitation. The part
A exam at Long Reef also proved to be a total success allowing the whole
squad to go through to the part B scenarios test this coming Saturday. I hope
that we will be able to report a successful completion to the exam process
next week.
The ARC groups have also been going well in their tests on Tuesday
evenings at North Curl Curl with all groups returning this week to hopefully
complete their exams.
The patrollers had a very active morning with surf swim, a trig run and
then a marathon iron man event in which it must be reported that two
Masters recorded two Out of the three best times!!! There was also time for
some specialist beach and water work with coaches from Long Reef.
Finally I must mention an omission from the report on the open day a few
weeks ago. The brother team of Chris and Richard Wenden did in fact come
second in the parent-son swim race but for obvious reasons did not get
officially recognised in the report although they did receive a prize. Chris
assures me that his Dad will be competing next term!
