comes to sport. For instance, “Antonius” L. Weston ran his course in the school
sports. He won five races and obtained a third in another. Three of his five wins
were records. “Antonius” is also the school under 16 champion. He runs faster
I after not doing his homework. In high-jumping Gary Grant came first and
Brian Mitchell second, both obtaining these placings by the assistance of a
transistorized lead accumulator, invented by Professor R. Banks, one of our
many scientific brains. We also have many footballers in our Form, G. Brier.
R. Collins, G. Graham, K. Caincross, G. Mahony, L. Weston and I. Udowika,
to mention only a few, but the footballer most noted would be R. Griffin who
played in the Brisbane team, down south for one week. We missed him (?).
We also well represent our school in golf, as two of the eight persons who
played in the finals came from 4B2.
FORM 4C1 - -
Girl Form Captain: Annette Horton
Boy Form Captain: ?..?..?
Class Motto: Push, pull, or get out (mainly get out)
This is a class of well-built boys (Whacker), “Fat puddings with faces like
cold porridge,” two students francais, two hockey goal scorers, an interstate
football (?) player, two golf players (Crunch and Grim), school basketball
players, and ardent Geography students. So you see that we are quite a talented
lot even though some may not agree.
We have no specific class clown as all the male portion of our class have
a sharp sense of wit. Nevertheless we have a prospective magician in our class
who convinced a certain teacher that he could produce pink elephants from
under the desk.
We quite realize that we have our Junior at the end of the year and are
persevering hard at our study, but, being a modest group, we like to keep our
talents hidden. We wish all others success in their exams and thank the poor
teachers for their patience and understanding and we hope that we will reward
them with “brilliant” results.
FORM 4C2 - -
Form Teacher: Mrs. Taege
Form Captains: Darwyn Harris, Valda Beinke
Although we haven’t shone at all
At hockey, tennis, basketball,
Are sometimes very far from bright
And, Oh ! so seldom get it right —
Our English, Art, Maths. A and B
Won’t make a name in history.
Our type just doesn’t grace the page
Congratulations ! for our age.
We boldly, all, will now proclaim
With pride (and each will sign his name)
“The All True Blue,” “The Happy Crew”
“Form 4C2” is Greeting You !
