Allen 8 - L 1IU,IitS1tiU "WHAT IS SCHOOL SPIRIT?" ANYONE who seeks an epigrammatic definition of this much bandied-about term is in for a sad disappointment. The first thing that enters a boy's head when he hears the term is the sight of a prefect standing in front of the Friday morning assembly and urging all the school to attend a sporting function. But is this where "School Spirit" ends? Certainly not. School spirit can be defined as: "The love which a student has for his school—a love which shows itself in his attitude towards the whole school programme, and in his behaviour and appearance." The school programme at Hutchins includes Editor for 1968. Michael Bradford. the many activities associated with the school. Ability Such activities are the Cadet Corps, the Dram- atic Society, the Social Services Group, the The ability of a boy to work together with Bushwalking Club, the Life-Saving Club, the his fellow students and display an all-round S.C.M., and now the School Choir. A boy friendliness is a measure of his love for the shows he has the interest of the school at school, since it is by this friendliness that the heart if he engages in as many of these internal harmony of the school is assisted. activities as possible. Finally, a boy can show his school spirit by The playing of sport has always been a coming to support school functions, whether part of the school programme at this school they be sporting or not.

    CLIMBING FEDERATION PEAK, SOUTH WEST TASMANIA Macquarie (University) Mountaineering Club trip 1972 By Barbara Cameron Smith June 5, 2014 Our anti clockwise route towards and up Federation Peak is depicted in orange above, with the exception of our detour off the loop to climb Burgess Bluff. We subsequently camped at Pineapple Flat, scrub bashed our way to Mount Picton, and eventually walked out to Blakes Opening along an unexpectedly civilized track. Map credit: Bill Filson 7 January 1972 We packed all our gear and then went shopping. We expect to be out for 7-10 days, and after packing the necessary food and excess, the food bill tallied 26 dollars for four, quite a lot of money. We went to local camping stores and got some extra equipment, then called in to chat with a few guys who could tell us something about the walk. We repacked everything after a counter lunch in a pub and off we went. We walked quite a way out of the main street of Hobart. Greg and I started hitching and were lucky, getting a lift with a guy who was going camping himself. I guess I was rather forward but I asked him if he’d mind picking up our two friends who were on the road already. He didn’t seem to mind, so we were all driven down to Geeveston. Had a few refreshments there and left details at the police station and gear at the council chambers. It was rather late to get a lift, it being 4.30 pm, but a local housewife drove all of us a few miles out of town.

    Bokkers' Book Launch

    Book Launch “Crossing the Bar” Legal Bric-a–brac and Other Oddities By William Cox Law Society of Tasmania, 11 July 2012. The First Earl of Beaconsfield, better known as Benjamin Disraeli, was not only one of the leading politicians and statesmen of the Victorian era, he was also a highly successful author. His novels may perhaps be described as being of the romantic genre. The unkind might even call them “pot boilers” - but they were nevertheless quite popular in London Society in their day. So much so, that Disraeli frequently received unsolicited manuscripts from other aspiring and perhaps, less talented writers, seeking appraisal and comment from the great man. It is said that Disraeli’s standard response to these people was as follows; “Dear Sir (or Madam), I thank you for sending me your manuscript, which I shall waste no time in reading” When Bill Cox sent me a copy of the manuscript of his new book Crossing the Bar I was, therefore, momentarily tempted to emulate Disraeli’s deliberately amphibolous response. However, good manners and to be frank, a degree of cowardice, quickly persuaded me otherwise. Instead, I instantly set about reading it – and were it not for the fact that about an hour or so later I was rudely interrupted by the Deputy Secretary of some Department or other wanting advice that he probably ought to have sought months earlier, I would almost certainly have read it all in one sitting. 1 So, I think it may fairly be said after all, that I wasted no time in reading it - in either of the senses in which that expression might be understood.
