  • Rotary Club of Warrnambool Chartered 75 Years
    CENTENARY OF ROTARY 1905-2005 ROTARY CLUB OF WARRNAMBOOL CHARTERED 75 YEARS FOREWORD The preparation of this update has necessitated the use of material prepared for earlier Anniversaries. In particular, material was extracted from a number of souvenir booklets. The earliest was titled Rotary Club of Warrnambool 1929- 1959. Another similar booklet was titled; Rotary Club of Warrnambool 1929- 1979, whilst the most recent was a supplement within the Warrnambool Standard titled; Rotary Club of Warrnambool 1930 – 1990 60th Anniversary. Further historical information as provided by Past President, Ron Rauert. The preparation of material from 1990 to the present was greatly facilitated by access to a private collection of Annual Reports. Other material was gleaned from R.I. World Conference literature. It will be obvious from a reading of this latest publication that considerably more detailed information has been provided in the summary of each Rotary year since 1990. This should not be interpreted that less activity occurred in pre-1990 Rotary years but that earlier publications, particularly the Standard insert, were constrained by available space. Some paragraphs within this update provide general information about Rotary such Objects of Rotary, Rotary International, Rotary Foundation, Group Study Exchange, Ambassadorial Scholarships and the significance of the design of the Rotary Wheel. It was considered that this information was essential in the Centenary Year of Rotary. The assistance of Club photographer, John Reid, Iris Bickley and former Rotarian Doreen Risbey, and her Business studies students at S.W. Institute of TAFE, in the preparation of this history update, is thankfully acknowledged. Special mention is made of our printing team, Rotarians Ian Cairns and Gary Parsons, who, with their knowledge and use of hi-tech equipment, very graciously produced this publication.

  • Chapter 12: Mountaineering: 20Th Century
    Mount Shasta Annotated Bibliography Chapter 12 Mountaineering: 20th Century The 20th Century brought changes to the Mt. Shasta climbing experience: mountain marathons, mountaineering clubs, new roads, and a new mountain hut. The entries in this section have no easily discernible common thread, except of course, for the hint of challenge and adventure inherent in climbing a peak more than 4,000 meters high. Among the more unusual entries are G. H. Fitch's account of a 1903 climb accompanied by a distinguished East Indian swami-mountaineer, F. H. McNeil's 1915 account of the contents of the crammed-full record box on Shasta's summit, Edward Stuhl's journal of his first attempt climbing for the summit in 1917, and Paul McHugh's story of Reverend Douglas Smith's 1971 war protest from the summit of Mt. Shasta. The 20th Century accounts of climbing Mt. Shasta record a wide variety of climbers and climbing motivations. The [MS number] indicates the Mount Shasta Special Collection accession numbers used by the College of the Siskiyous Library. [MS890]. Backus, Minna. A Moonlight Glissade.
