History embraces and dominates all other subjects. How dare the more barbaric elements of mankind condemn History as being dead and of no consequence! To confess an ignorance or dislike of History is surely to confess an ignorance or dislike of your fellow man and of all aspects of culture and civilization. More can be learned of the nature of man by watching his behaviour through over sixty centuries than by reading Plato and Aristotle, Spinoza and Kant. "All philosophy" wrote Nietzsch, "has now fallen forfeit to history".* History is living drama. It may be divided into various periods, but all History remains but one History. Surely the rise, decline and fall of the Roman Empire must be judged as the most momentous drama ever enacted by man. "Unless it be that other drama which began when Caesar and Christ stood face to face in Pilate's court, and continued until a handfull of hunted Christians had grown by time and patience, and through persecution and terror, to be first the allies, then the masters, and at last the heirs, of the greatest empire in history". t No subject will ever replace History as the supreme achievement of the human species. While civilization exists, History exists. Every subject has its history; no one can be fully educated unless he has a knowledge of this queen of subjects. To the historian, it is incom prehensible that in an age when we so stupidly place so much emphasis on having a "well~ rounded" education (which means doing Maths. and Science), History is not a compulsory subject. Even in this scientific age, this era of mediocrity, what subject can be more impor tant? Hear the words of the great Cicero:- " Not to knoll' what happened before you were born is to remain perpetually a child". B. Irvine, 6A * Nietzsche: "Human, all too human" VI I.

PUPILS and STAFF of the "STAFF TEAM'' 36 THURUNA ZONE SWIMMING CARNIVAL The Fifth Annual Zone Swimming Carnival was held on the 21st and 22nd March this year and for the fifth time Cabramatta High was successful, getting a grand total of 895 points. The girls' relay team did particularly well, winning six out of the seven relays (fifth in the other) and breaking the record in the 13 Years' relay. Outstanding performances were turned in by Julie Hovey, Cathy Whitlam (broke 13 Years Freestyle record), Eileen Black, Shirley Dorsman, Judy Trasler, Carol Vale, ,John Collett, Paul Hovey, Michael Robson and Fred Dobbs. The swimmers who must really be thanked for our overall good performance are those who ensured that every event had a Cabramatta High swimmer in it. Many points were gained by their willingness to participate. Sixteen boys and thirteen girls were selected to represent the Lansdowne Zone at the State High Schools' Carnivals. Of these. Cathy Whitlam qualified for the final and was placed fifth in the 13 Years Freestyle, and Cathy and Eileen lllack swam in the Zone Relay team which was placed seventh in the state. ROVING CAMERA SHOTS ♦ SCHOOL SWIMMING CARNIVAL The Tenth Annual Swimming Carnival was held on Wednesday, 22nd February, 1967. Fortunately, it WAS a Swimming Carnival, and not an Athletics Carnival, as, by means known only to themselves, our organisers successfully picked the wettest, coldest day in first term - hearty congratulations. However, the spirits of the keen barrackers were only slightly dampened and House supporters managed to make a few cheers and war cries pene trate the overall dampness. In the early part of the clay Korella and Chakola swimmers braved the elements and fought and shivered greatly for first place. As the day progressed Chakola took a firm, wet hold on the lead and ended up with 799 points. In second place, but leading the "chattering teeth" competition, was Korella, with 672 points, followed by Kulrnru, with 586 points, and Kuredulla, with 477 points. Congratulations Chakola ! Seven records were broken altogether, four girls' records and three boys' records, by C. Whitlam (2), E. Black, J. Chock Ching, P. Hovey, P. McBurney and F. Dobbs. The Age Champions were:- Boys Girl., 13 Years P. Hovey E. Black 14 Years M. Robson J. Chock Ching 15 Years D. Pickering S. Dorsman 16 Years F. Dobbs J. Trasler Open J. Collett K. Whitlam THE great event ot· the day, as usual, was the StalT versus School Relay. In latter years the Staff have won by nefarious means, but this year a certain manual arts type was seen to severely jeopardise the School's chances by doing dire things with his boot to a certain sports type - thus clearing the Staff of any aspersions being cast on their character. However, as in same latter years, age triumphed over innocence in a most dubious race. The clay ended with the Staff's number one swimmer, Mr. "Torpedo" Rushbrooke, congratulating the Houses on their good efforts and offering a vote of thanks to the organisers. Cathy Douglas and John English were very happy to receive the trophy for the winning House for tl1eir second time, and Chakola's third time, in succession.

The day was warm and sunny although a light shower of rain fell in the early afternoon. After a torrid struggle, Kukura emerged victors over Kuredu/la. It was notice able that Kukura gained many valuable points simply by having every event contested -· a sure sign of sporting spirit. Korella finished third while Chakola filled the remaining position. Thirteen new records were set during the day. five by the girls and eight by the boys. Sharon Behan and F.d Sobicsiak were by for the most outstanding athletes on the day. This is a just reward for two athletes who realise that good performances can be attributed to training.

Mr. Hincks (the hare) showed that even in old age he can still show some pace. Mr. Curtis (Jumbo) and Mr. Aston were noticed to be a little slow of the mark. It was a successrul and an enjoyable clay and it was noticeable that fine srorting spirit combined with true school spirit contribute to make a success. II. Hamill ZONE ATHLETICS Once again Cabramatta competed well as a leam in this carnival. This was not good enough on the day and Cabramatta finished 5th with Bonnyrigg being the winners once again. As in the School Carnival, S. Behan and Ed. Sohiesiak were outstanding. Sharon Behan was recently placed 2nd in the Australian Cross Country Championship for her age group. It was quickly realised at the carnival that not enough pre-carnival training hud been done, thus contributing to the poor position. Maybe we have learnt something for next year. B.
