MURDOCH B. A. STIRLING Three EDITORIAL ■ In 1967, the editors of this magazine presented an optimistic report and synopsis of what was for us an exciting innovation. There had been created a student body whose function was to facilitate co-operation between the administration and the School. This ·· School Council " was hailed as the basis of a truly New Zealand educational system incorporating elements of the old English traditionalism, and the more modern American systems to encourage personal participation and development. Sadly, the optimism of the 1967 editorial proved unfounded. The Council collapsed-and who can say where the fault lies? Since this demise, the School has indeed progressed, particularly in the academic fields-for example, our study and tutorial system-but each reform or advancement has been instituted and developed by the administration alone, with no help or co­ operation from the student body. In the non-educational aspects of the School. the once rejected suggestions of the Council have suddenly and belatedly been implemented by the administration, much to the profound bewilderment of the student body. Two prime examples are the perennially-passed motions to do away with the school cap, and to run and staff a school Canteen. Both have now come to reality apparently in spite of the Council. Surely this is not the way to develop civil responsibilities in the young adult-one can only expect of an adult as much as he has been taught to give, and to do only as much as he has been taught to do. The basis of democracy lies in co­ operation, and what better way to learn this, as well as the basics of Civics, than to have a hand in the running, and the formulation of policy, of a school. We must revive this organisation to encourage the learning of civic skills and the awareness of responsibility. We must regain the feeling of pride and participation in our education and in the School's activities. The onus of revival lies on the student body; we look to the Rector and Staff to foster its development. The problems of the l 970's demand nothing less than a united approach.

  • The Winning Mindset Lorraine Moller the Reckoning of the Race
    Colorado Track Club, The Winning Mindset Year: 2020, Article #3 The Winning Mindset Lorraine Moller The Reckoning of the Race Purpose: The purpose of CTCs The Winning Mindset is to collect and present articles by accomplished athletes, coaches, and business leaders in an effort to provide our readers with valuable insight into successful training, racing, business, and the characteristics of a high-performance mindset. Lorraine Moller enjoyed a 28-year international running career demonstrating an historic range in abilities. Her stellar track career (800m: 2:03.6, 1500m: 4:10.6, 3000m: 8:51.7) led to 16 major marathon wins including the Boston Marathon, 4 Olympic Marathons (’84, ’88, ‘92, ‘96) and earning the Bronze Medal in 1992. A pioneer in the sport she helped pave the way for parity of events for women (women did not run the Olympic Marathon until 1984), and was at the forefront in the battle to bring professionalism to running. A native New Zealander, she was first coached by Arthur Lydiard’s Olympic Medalist and coaching protégé John Davies, and later by Davies' protege, Dick Quax, Olympic silver medalist and 5000m world record holder. She also had the opportunity to learn from the icon himself. She is a founder and lead endurance instructor for the Lydiard Foundation, one of the top coaching certification programs in America. Today she travels worldwide to present classes to coaches of all levels. You can register for Lydiard classes and coaching services at www.LydiardFoundation.org.

  • Sub-4 Register 2021
    The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1663 athletes as of April 13, 2021) WITHIN A YEAR of the death of the first sub-4:00 miler, Sir Roger Bannister, at the age of 88, the total number of athletes who have broken through the once historic barrier was already past 1550, and no country has kept greater faith with the legend of the sub-4 mile than the USA. Even during the COVID-ravaged year of ’21 there were 51 men who broke 4:00 indoors, of which 32 were Americans. Outdoors in ’20 there were 33 who enterprisingly did so in Australia, Great Britain, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Switzerland and, of course, the USA. The total of US sub-4 milers is now 594, far ahead of Great Britain’s 215 and Kenya’s 152, with no other country yet nearing 100. The year ’21 has very soon passed another landmark, as Nick Willis, of New Zealand, has broken 4:00 for a record 19th successive year. The previous best of 18 was held by his countryman John Walker, but Steve Scott of the USA, is still the most prolific sub-4 miler in history, with 137 such times to his credit. Elsewhere, even the distant past has eventually yielded its secrets: a hitherto overlooked performance from as long ago as 1974 by a Bulgarian was not discovered until 36 years later! Bulgaria remains something of a mystery because another sub-four minute mile by a Bulgarian in ’92 (no venue or exact date) has only recently been caught up with! There are now 19 sets of brothers, including 5 sets of twins, and 11 sets of fathers and sons who have broken 4:00.

Four times an Olympic contender, winner of three Avon Women's Marathons, winner of the Boston Marathon, three times the winner of the Osaka international Ladies' Marathon, and a Commonwealth Games medallist, she is indeed a living legend of the running world. Lorraine began running barefoot with her father near her home in Putaruru and went on to win a bronze medal in the marathon at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympic Games. Here, in her own words, Lorraine looks back on a golden era of athletics in New Zealand and the personalities she ran with - Arthur Lydiard, Dick Quax, rod Dixon, Anne Audain, Allison roe and others. She traces her development as a world-class competitor and reveals the strategies and coping techniques that took her to the world stage. A longtime battler for equality and professionalism in distance running, Lorraine is upfront about her struggles with officialdom. With the roman god Mercury as her guide, Lorraine competed with immense courage and determination at the highest level. Here is a candid, personal story of an extraordinary life: intense, insightful and highly entertaining.
