FORM 3C3 –
Form Teacher: Mr. Taylor
Form Captains: June Lowther, Dean Henderson
The motto of the infamous 3C3 is quietism. I am sure our teachers will
agree that we do not practice what we preach. Class honours go to P. Griffin,
S. Short, and J. Lowther. We may not excel in the scholastic field
athletic ability spreads over a wide range.
Our swimmers who represented us in the swimming carnival are T.
Z. Jensen, S. Jailett, B. Carn, R. Mount and P. Pyle.
All the basketball players had success in their teams by winning
Premierships. The girls, who are prominent in this are M. Hutchinson, M.
Dunstan and J. Lowther. M. Swan was a member of the hockey team that won
the Brisbane Premiership. Girls who were prominent in G.P.S. and the Balmoral
sports, playing ball games were Z. Jensen and B. Weis.
The hero of our form is now R. Casey since he won the 880 yards race
on Sports Day and made a splendid effort to be placed second in the mile race.
Our contribution to school cricket teams was made by B. Midson, T. Smith and
D.Henderson. We also pay credit to R. Riley for his efforts on the football field.
Merilyn Hoppner and Russel Mount provide us with musical entertainment when Russel
plays the piano and the drums and Merilyn plays the piano accordion.
In conclusion we would like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers for trying to drag
us through our recent examination

Form 3C5 is rather rowdy,

We hope they’ll say, “Class, well done”.
Many of us do well in exams, as you shall see. With the thorough teaching
