FOREWORD. 'Ls good to feel that we're a part Of one great glorious throng."

No student can enter into membership of a College in the fullest sense unless he understands something of its history and traditions. For this reason, a brief account of the genesis and growth of Melbourne Teachers' College is included in the handbook.* In 1939, we celebrated the jubilee of the present main block of buildings, but the history of teacher training goes back to 1855, when a Training Institution under the National School Board was established by Mr. A. Davitt on the site now occupied by the College of Surgeons in Spring Street, East Melbourne. Shortly afterwards, in 1859, Mr. S. C. Dixon opened a Denominational Training School which was later used by the Board of Education. In 1870, Mr. Dixon became superintendent of the Central Training Institution (later Melbourne High School) under the Board of Education, and from 1873 under the newly- created Education Department. On his retirement in 1877, Mr. Dixon was succeeded by Mr. F. J. Gladman, whose book "School Method" was well known to generations of older teachers. His untimely death in 1884 was referred to in Parliament as a "national loss." Gladman trainees, who included the late Mr. Frank Tate, contributed to a fund to provide Gladman prizes which are still awarded to those students of the College who head the lists in academic results and teaching ability. His successor was Mr. C. A. Topp, who was later appointed Public Service Commissioner.

6 In December, 1889, the newly-erected central block of the Teachers' College in Grattan Street was opened by Mr. Topp, who was succeeded in 1890 by Mr. R. Craig. The western wing of the College was ready for occupation in April, 1891, the eastern wing being completed in November of the same year. Mr. Topp was responsible for representations of the Griffin, the bringer of light and wisdom, which symbolizes so fittingly the teacher's calling. The grounds were planned and planted in 1892 under the direction of Mr. W. R. Guilfoyle, curator of the Botanic Gardens. As a measure of retrenchment following the "land boom" in the early 'nineties, the College was closed on 31st December, 1893. On 5th February, 1900, the College was re-opened with 67 students under Mr. Frank Tate, who became in 1902 the first Director of Education in Victoria, and achieved international fame as an educationist. Next to take charge of College activities was Dr. John Smyth, who devoted 25 years of his life to inculcating in the minds of thousands of young teachers the highest ideals of service to the community. In 1918, Dr. Smyth was appointed Professor of Education, and thus was the first Principal of the College to hold the dual position. The College motto "Non Omnis Moriar" serves as a fitting tribute to the memory of an inspired educationist and a fine Christian gentleman. , The next Principal was Professor L. J. Wrigley (1928- 1933), who was, prior to this appointment, Asst. Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools. Finally, Professor Browne occupied the dual position of Professor of Educa- tion and Principal of the College until the end of 1938, when, the two positions being separated, he was made a full-time officer of the University. Present students should be proud of their membership of a College from which so many distinguished citizens have graduated. These ex-students include most of the senior officers of the Victorian Education Department, a former Director of Education in South Australia, the Professor of Education, the Professor of Physics and several lecturers in the University of Melbourne, a Pro- fessor of History and the Professor of Education in the University of Sydney, a Judge, the Inspector-General of Penal Establishments, a former Principal of Hobart Teacher? College, two Generals, a V.C. winner, a Rhodes Scholar, and many men holding high professional positions f in other States and England. On our memorial windows are inscribed the names of scores of ex-students who served their country with distinction during the Great War. One-fifth of these splendid men made the supreme sacrifice. It is hoped that incoming students will endeavour to widen their horizons, to increase their cultural experiences, to develop the more spiritual side of their natures, and so prepare themselves for the highest of all callings. "Teachers can create a better world," but this will not be possible unless the members of our profession are imbued with the highest-ideals of character, culture, and citizenship. "That which is best in us—great thoughts, Deeds glorious—ne'er will decay. Nos Omais Moriar." —G. R. MILLS.

A certain number of extensions will be given to enable successful primary students to commence University Degree courses, mainly in Arts, Science, Commerce and Physical Education. No fees are charged for these courses. QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED BEFORE ENTERING THE TEACHERS' COLLEGE - ALL COURSES Candidates must be at least seventeen years of age, must have passed School Leaving Examination or approved equivalent, and must have been recommended by an Inspector of Schools. DETAILS OF COURSES. Primary Course. To the Primary Course the Education Department turns for its supply of trained teachers for the rural schools. It has been a basic principle of educational administration in Victoria that the schools of the rural communities should be as well served as the schools of the cities. To this end all students at the completion of the Primary Course are expected to take positions in small schools in various parts of Victoria. The numbers in the Primary Course grew from 75 in 1923 to double that number in 1928. For some years our two sister Colleges at Ballarat and Bendigo catered for the needs of fifty students in each centre, but the financial situation of the country necessitated their closing. The Bendigo College was re-opened in 1945; Ballarat College in 1946. Geelong College is opening this year. Each of these institutions accommodates about 120 students. Dur- li ing the years 1934 to 1939, the number of students taking the Primary Course was increased to 300. A further increase to 350 was made in 1941, and maintained in 1942. Numbers remained low until 1946, when a marked re- vival was experienced. Two distinct groups of students will enter upon the Primary Course of training in 1951. One group, consisting roughly of those students appointed prior to 1st July, 1950, and the other of those appointed subsequent to that date. The former group will do the previously established one-year course of training, while the latter will begin the new two-year course. One Year Conrse.—The work of this course is strenuous but interesting. In order to achieve success, a student must work at full capacity from February to December. Weakness in first term may handicap him severely later in the year. Efficiency in the course is judged by the standard reached in a number of spheres, namely:— Academic work. Practical teaching. Personal qualities and general attitude towards Col- lege work. The course is one in which all the subjects taken relate to child study and the curriculum set for Primary Schools in the 1934 Course of Study. The subjects taken during the year are:—Method of English, English Expression, Method of Social Studies, History of Education, Modern Developments in Education, Art and Handwork, Psycho- logy, Method of Science, Method of Mathematics, Method of Health Education, Infant School Method, Physical Training,. Method of Music, Rural School Organisation, and Principles of Education. It is compulsory to pass in all subjects in academic work and to gain a pass in practical teaching. The training in practical teaching is carried out at special Training Schools in the metropolitan area. During 1951 it is anticipated that in each six weeks a student will teach in one of the training schools for two weeks, and attend at College for lectures and discussions during the other four weeks. Each student will be given a fortnight's practice in each division of Primary School work, together with a fortnight in an Infant School, and at least a fortnight in a Rural School. The standard of achievement in practical teaching in the Primary Course 12 is very high, and students in the past have gained great commendation for the work done. Two Year Course: This course contains many interesting features, and should provide a more interesting and more leisurely approach to the work of the primary teacher. Greater emphasis is to be placed on the development of the student's personality and the broadening of his general background. It is hoped that there will be greater scope for the development of individuality and initiative than has been possible in the crowded one-year course. In the first year of this course the following sections will provide the greater part of the course:— (a) Basic subjects—Education, English, Physical Edu- cation, Music. (b) Functional subjects—relating closely to the professional side of teaching. (c) Elective subjects—one from each of three selected groups. (d) Practical teaching-6-8 weeks spent in special Train- ing Schools. In this year, there is to be greater stress on the "cul- cural" side of the student's development, while the rela- tively small amount of practical teaching will serve as an introduction to child study, the classroom and school organisation. In the second year greater emphasis will be placed on the "professional" side of Training. Section of the work will be as follows:— (a) Basic subjects—Education, English, Social Studies, Art and Crafts. (b) Elective subjects—one of the subjects chosen in the previous year will be continued to a higher standard. (c) Functional subjects—including method of Mathe- matics, method of Nature Study, Rural Science, Art, etc. (d) Practical teaching. A greater period of actual teaching, combined with observation and demonstra- tions. This practice will include a period in a Rural Training School. During both years, time will be allotted for tutorials, group meetings, discussion groups, etc. All Primary students are expected to take an active part in sport and social activities. The description, elsewhere in this handbook, of the system of organisation of College sport and social activities will show that the 13 Primary students are generally able to make a very sub- stantial contribution to College corporate life. At the end of the year the Primary students are listed in order of merit according to the work done throughout the year, and the position on this list decides the College mark, which is entered in the Departmental records. They are also reclassified by the Department according to their position on the College list. About 140 of the best students may be allowed to proceed to a second year in courses as set out previously. During this second year they may commence or continue a University Course, thus qualifying themselves for possible appointments in the future to the secondary side of the service, and also place themselves in a position to qualify for the Departmental classifica- tion known as "Second Honours." If they wish, the second year may be devoted to Art, Music, Physical Education, Speech, Manual Arts, Domestic Arts or Agriculture. .iatr:c',lation is necessary for University Courses. The student who heads the list for practical teaching for the whole year is awarded the Gladman Prize for Teaching, and the student who gains the highest aggregate in the academic examinations is awarded another Gladman Prize. Two State Savings Bank bursaries of £40 each may be awarded to students who have to reside away from home. No Primary student can be given a pass in practical teaching unless the quality of his voice and speech proves satisfactory. Primary students leave the College (providing they are successful in their courses) at a commencing salary of £325 for men and £260 for women (plus cost of living allowance). Failure in College year entails a deduction of £25 for men and £20 for women from these totals. If any student is unsatisfactory in attitude to the work and in ability to cope with the subjects of the course, his studentship is promptly terminated. There is room for only keen candidates who are anxious to make teaching their life-work. Trained Infant Teacher's Certificate.

Those not eligible for full-time training receive the same salary, but are not allowed College fees, books and the travelling allowance. On the successful conclusion of the College year, they are appointed as assistants or 17 head teachers, and are not eligible for extended courses, although opportunity will be given later for half time training to complete degree. On the successful completion of T.P.T.C., rates of pay vary according to academic qualifications, e.g., a student who has 3 University Subjects commences in the Primary Division on a salary of £350 plus cost of living, whereas without such qualification the rate is £325 plus cost of living. A bonus of £25 per year is granted to all ex- service new entrants for three years after leaving College. CIVILIAN NEW ENTRANTS During the College year these students receive £169 allowance or £195 if living away from home, plus cost of living adjustment. Adjustments are made in February and August.

Commencing salary on successful completion of course is £325 plus cost of living.

RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT STUDENTSHIPS. A.—Resident Studentships. Resident Studentships are available for applicants whose homes are outside the metropolitan area. Resident students are placed either in College or in a College Hostel in the neighbourhood. The Hostel is supervised by the College authorities. Incoming students, whether residing in College or Hostel, will be required to pay the cost of their board, but an allowance of £195 per annum will be made to each student who has to live away from home. The initial payment of allowances is not made until bonds (see below) have been submitted and approved. Incoming students are therefore advised to make provision for at least six weeks' expenses. N.B.—For residence in College, preference is given to students under the age of 21 years. B.—Non-Resident Studentships. Students whose homes are in Melbourne are granted Non-Resident Studentships, with an allowance of £169 per annum in each case. Country applicants should not state on their application forms that they are willing to 18 accept Non-Resident Studentships unless they are assured of suitable board and lodging before they come to. Melbourne. At any time a Resident Studentship may be converted to a Non-Resident Studentship if the holder proves unsatisfactory in her behaviour or demeanour as a Resident Student. C.—Students' Agreements to Serve the Department. All students are obliged to enter into a bond to serve in, Departmental schools for three years. Women students may, in the event of their marriage, be permitted to resign at the expiration of one year's service after the termination of their studentship. In cases where the agreement is subsequently broken by a student, the proportional amount of his indebtedness to the Department is calculated, and he is called upon to pay that amount. It is expected, however, that the student will honour the obligation expressed in his agreement, and, unless very exceptional circumstances arise, will serve for the full period. SUITABLE CLOTHES. In addition to ordinary clothes, certain articles of clothing are made necessary by the nature of College life. Men. A complete outfit of flannels, white socks and shoes is essential on the Tennis Courts or at the Cricket Nets. For physical training, of which there is an intensive course in the first fortnight of the College year, black knicks, white athletic singlets and white sandshoes are worn. A football guernsey will be found useful for training purposes.. Bathers and a towel are also necessary. Those who are procuring an outfit of clothes preparatory to entering College are advised that the most ser- viceable and usual type of student dress is a sports coat and grey flannel trousers. Women Immediately on entering College, women students: require a complete outfit for physical training, comprising a blouse, shorts (navy or black), and white sand shoes.. A cotton dirndl or peasant skirt should be worn over the shorts. If intending to participate in the Saturday sport- 19 ing teams, the student will need a sports tunic, box pleated, and made of navy blue serge. White frocks are worn for tennis. Evening frocks are worn for College Balls, but street frocks suffice for the weekly Palais. Each student will also need bathers and a towel. Residents: All resident students will be required to provide their own linen properly marked. The linen that the students will be required to provide is as follows:— (a) Four Sheets. (b) Four Pillow Slips. (c) Four Towels. (d) Four Table Napkins. Miss Hamono and Miss Brown will be glad to help women students with advice on matters professional o•. personal. Slippers are essential for evening study. All clothing should be clearly marked. Laundry facilities, though available, are limited; an electric iron is an advantage. General. All students are. advised to procure a College blazer (for sports use only). These may be obtained from Myers, who make blazers at a cost of £2/19/6 (approx.). Tailored blazers are available at David Lack, 316 Elizabeth Street. College badges may be obtained from the Secretary of the S.R.C. at a small cost. SALARIES.

This collection is for reference, for use in teaching, for information on those matters of primary interest to teachers and for general leisure reading. The main Library and the reading room are the principal study rooms for Primary students. Texts pre- .scribed by lecturers for intensive reading and texts required for teaching practice may be borrowed. The special Library, which has been set aside for University students, houses some 3,000 specially selected texts in Arts, Science, Commerce and Education. From this collection is drawn the bulk of the material borrowed by country and metropolitan teachers. Approximately 500 external borrowers used this service during 1949. Since the Education Department's Library is no longer available for borrowing, teachers must increasingly look to the College Library for special texts. In addition, general reading matter is available. Registration is onen to any Departmental teacher without charge. The Teachers' College pays the postage out. An important section of the Library is that known as .the Aids Room, where an extensiVe range of teaching .aids is available for the use of students. Maps, charts, diagrams, illustrations, models and samples appropriate to almost any lesson may be borrowed from the lecturer in charge of aids. These must be returned immediately .after the lesson has been given. An experimental School Library has been set up in the East Room. This collection is in use by the children of the College Rural School, and is designed to give College students the knowledge necessary to set up their own .School Libraries. LIBRARY HOURS: Monday-Friday: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; 7 p.m.-10 p.m. Aids Room: Monday-Tuesday-Thursday-Friday: 4 p.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday: 3 p.m.-4 p.m. Monday: 1.20 p.m.-1.50 p.m. Wednesday: 1.20 p.m.-1.50 p.m. CAFETERIA. The College Cafeteria, which was opened in 1943, provides non-resident students with an attractive lunch room. In addition, light refreshments and lunches are obtainable.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES.

THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL. This is the central legislative and deliberative body in the College, and makes the student body self-governing 23 in many spheres. Since it replaced the old T.C. Club in. 1923, it has accomplished a great deal, and to-day membership of it is considered an honour to be highly esteemed. It controls all other student organisations, since it alone can charter and finance them. Its members are drawn• from all sections of the student body, and from the staff.. Thus it facilitates co-operation between students and staff, provides an effective outlet for student opinion, controls many administrative powers, and, in general, preserves and develops the unity of the College.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES.

CONSTITUTIONS AND FUNCTIONS. The Clubs and Societies of the College are such as to give scope for all students to express and develop their powers in sports, writing, reading and general intellectual pursuits. Recreation is provided for all, and there is also opportunity of training for useful social service in after life. All students are urged to associate themselves closely with the activities that appeal to them for these Clubs and Societies form a large and essential part of College life, and their success depends on the enthusiasm and co-operation of the students. Beside the committees for the "Trainee" and "Gritïin," the following clubs and societies are recognised and chartered by the Student Representative Council: Men's Ath- letics, Women's Athletics, Badminton, Men's and Women's Basketball, Boxing, Cricket, Magazine, Musical, T.C.L.D.S., S.C.M., Marionette, Football, Swimming, Dramatic, Hockey, Dance Band, Softball. Constitutions of all Clubs are at present under revision, and revised constitutions may be inspected in the S.R.C. Office. Constitutions are of this type:— 1. Membership shall be open to all students (or "all men" or "all women" students, as the case may be) and members of the Staff (Honorary Members) of the College. 2. The Officers of the Club shall be:— (a) President and two Vice-Presidents, one of these three positions being held by a member of the Staff. (b) Secretary and Treasurer, who shall be a student.

This shall include an account of the obligations 32 (finances and fixtures) of the club to the Association, and also of the House (and Group) matches, as far as possible. All such matters arising during the year shall be similarly submitted. At the end of each term the Secretary shall submit a statement on the finance, the general working, and the amount and condition of material of the club.

The costs of these are included in S.R.C. fees. House Balls, Concerts and Saturday evening Palais are very prominent and popular features of the social life of College. A dance band and concert orchestra was successfully formed in 1946. Their activities have continued through 1950. They are managed by committees called by the Chairman of Social Committees. All students are strongly advised to make the best use of the opportunity of participating in the social life of the College. T.C.LD.S. is a useful abbreviation for the Teachers College Literary and Debating Society. The aim of this Society is to foster a love for true literature, and to enable each student to form his own independent opinions, and to express them effectively. To this end a series of lectures, debates, and speech nights, in which the students themselves are encouraged to take a pre-eminent part, is held throughout each year. Discussion on religious subjects is forbidden by the Constitution. House Debates and midday debates are also held under the auspices of the Society. The big event of 1949 was the Interstate Debate, and competition for inclusion was very keen. A high standard of debating was attained. The object of the DRAMATIC SOCIETY is to cultivate dramatic talent by the annual production of a play, the proceeds of which form a welcome contribution to Inter- state funds. During the war, proceeds were donated to 34 the College war effort. Since its inception in 1922, the Society has presented the following plays: "Miss Hook of Holland" (musical comedy); Barie's "A Kiss for Cinderella"; Sheridan's "School for Scandal"; Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer"; Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and "Twelfth Night" (twice); "Ambrose Applejohn's Adventure"; Shaw's "Caesar and Cleopatra"; Shakespeare's "The Merry Wives of Windsor"; Sierra's "The Romantic Young Lady"; Barrie's "Mary Rose"; Eden Philpott's "The Farmer's Wife"; Hay's "Middle Watch"; Barrie's "Dear Brutus"; Arnold Bennett and Charles Knoblock's "Milestones"; Edward Knoll's "Trial By Jury"; "Crime at Blossoms" by Mordant Shairp; "Berkeley Square" by Balderson; "Pride and Prejudice" by Helen Perome; "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" by Ian Hay and P. G. Wodehouse; "The Young Idea" by Noel Coward; "Mrs. Moonlight" by Benn W. Levy; "The Blue Goose" by Peter Blackmore; "He Was Born Gay" by Emlyn Williams; "The Late Christopher Bean" by Emlyn Williams, "Goodnight Children" by J. B. Priestley in 1949, "Trouble in the House," by Anthony Verney, and in 1950, "Quiet Week- end" by Esther McCracken. Special note on the Charter of the Dramatic Society:— (a) Selection of Play.—The Committee selects three plays, which are read at a meeting of the Society. The choice of one of these rests then with the Committee, but its decision must be ratified at a full meeting of the Society. The characters are then selected after trial, the final decision resting with the Producer. After the characters are finally determined, the Producer has supreme control of all matters connected with the acting of the play. The date of the play is decided by the Student Repre- sentative Council. (b) (i.) The Business Manager of the play shall be elected at the College elections (March), and he shall then be, ex-officio, a member of the Dramatic Society Committee. (ii.) The minutes of the meeting of the Dramatic Society Committee, at which the play is chosen, should be submitted to Council not later than May 1. (iii.) All cheques drawn on the Dramatic Society Fund shall be signed by the T.C.S.R.C. (iv) Profits in connection with this Society are to be used as Council of each year may decide. 35 The MUSICAL SOCIETY conducts choral work each week, and provides choral work for the College concerts as well as arranging lunch-time recitals of recorded music. The aim of the MARIONETTE CLUB is to foster this new art form. It provides opportunities for the student interested in modelling, carving, scene painting, costumes, playwriting and music to take part in productions on a miniature stage. The Manual Art Room is equipped with the first permanent theatre in Australia, complete with act curtains, theatrical lighting, sound system, and seating for two hundred people. Talks are given on the historical background and modern developments of puppetry; much practical work is done and several performances, open to the public, are given each year by students. The MAGAZINE CLUB keeps the Lounge Rooms well supplied with the leading periodicals.

STUDENT CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT. The S.C.M. is the chartered society of the College which supplies the spiritual centre for teachers in training. In its meetings is found the element of true fellowship. The S.C.M. is not an isolated "club," it is part of a nation-wide movement — "The Australian Student Christian Movement," which in its turn is a part of the "World Student Christian Federation." During 1950 the S.C.M. held meetings for the College each week. These meetings took the form of addresses by prominent public. men, alternating with discussions. These will be continued in 1951 on days and times to be arranged. The S.C.M. also arranges many social functions, including hikes and picture nights.

TEACHERS' UNION. All students of the College who are desirous of being members of the College Branch of the V.T.U. shall sub- scribe 2/- yearly, to be collected by the Branch Secretary. The Branch meetings shall be convened by the Secretary of the Branch. Since 1945, College has enjoyed representation on the V.T.U. Council. 36

Subject to his consent, and the consent of the Branch, the President of the College shall be President of the College Branch of the V.T.U. CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE AND SPORTS UNION. Co-ordinating Committee controls and co-ordinates all College sporting and social activity. It consists of Sports Union and S.R.C. President, with representatives from Marionette Guild, S.C.M., etc. Sports Union consists of all secretaries of the sporting clubs and the four General House Secretaries, under the chairmanship of one of the General Sports Secretaries. Meetings are held monthly and absent members are liable to forfeit their positions.

Constitution of the House System. Section A.—Houses. The College (men and women) shall be divided into four houses—Wrigley, Smith, Tate and Browne (formed 1946) —whose colours shall be red, gold, green and blue respectively. (a) Senior students shall remain in the one House during their period in College. (b) The method of dividing incoming students between the Houses shall be decided each year by Council. Section B.—Officials. Each House shall at the beginning of the year elect the following officials. (a) Two House Captains (man and woman). (b) One General House Secretary (man or woman). (c) Two Swimming Representatives (man and woman). (d) Two Athletics Representatives (man and woman). Section C.—Contests. 1. House Selection Committees shall consist of:— General House Secretary, House Captains and the particular Sports Representatives. 2. The allocation of dates for House Contests shall rest with the General Sports Secretaries. 3. The House Captains shall deliver to the General Sports Secretaries the results of House contests. 4. The General Sports Secretaries shall allot points to the Houses according to these results. Progress totals of 37

these points shall be posted on the main notice board, and the Premier House decided by the aggregates. The system of allotting points was revised in 1935 and again in 1948. In 1935 the House contests were particularly successful, and ended with Wrigley House slightly ahead on points, an honour it held for the two succeeding years. In 1938, 1940 and 1942, Tate House was successful, whilst in 1941, Smyth House were premiers, Wrigley House taking the honours in 1939 and 1943. Smyth House was Cock House for 1944. In 1945, House contests did not reach completion, while in 1946 and 1947, the newly-formed Browne House were the overwhelming victors. The 1948 premiers were Tate House, and, for 1949, Smyth House. Each sport is allotted 180 points, and where there are six contests in each sport (one between each pair of Houses), 30 points go to each match. 5 points go to the winning House immediately and the remainder are divided in the ratio of the scores. Where there are two rounds of House Matches the number of points allotted to each match is reduced proportionately.

INTERSTATE CONTESTS. Interstate contests between Melbourne and Sydney Teachers' Colleges were begun in 1907, and, except for a break of five years during the last War, were continued till 1921. In that time Melbourne won seven contests, Sydney won one, and two were drawn. In 1922, owing to the fact that these Colleges played different codes of football, the Sydney-Melbourne contests were replaced by contests between Adelaide and Melbourne Teachers' Colleges, which were held for four years. Of these contests, Melbourne won two and two were drawn. In 1924 and 1925 Sydney sent non-competitive teams to the contests, and in 1926 a new era began with the inauguration of the Triangular Contests, Sydney taxing part in all events except football, which was a non-competitive event. When Sydney won the first Triangular contests, its ex-students gave the Reunion Shield, to be held in each year by the College winning the greatest number of contests. Melbourne won this Shield in the next year, 1927, Sydney regained it in 1928, and in 1929, after a memorable contest, Melbourne captured it again. 38 A further move was made in 1928, when the Western Australian Teachers College (Claremont) sent non-competitive teams in tennis and hockey to Adelaide. The big- gest contest was that held in 1930, when five States sent teams to Melbourne. Claremont and Hobart sent non- competitive teams, and Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne contested the usual Triangular contests, which were won b) Melbourne. The contests, which had just assumed this All-Australian significance, seemed to be firmly established, but the changed financial condition of the Colleges has necessitated the suspension of the contests after 1930. Negotia- tions were carried on during the succeeding years without appreciable result, until in 1935 the suggestion was put forward and accepted by Melbourne and Adelaide that the contests should be resumed on a smaller basis and should take place simultaneously in both capitals. In conse- quence, Melbourne was the scene of animated struggles in Debating, Mixed Athletics and Women's Hockey, and a Basketball Team and a Men's Tennis Team were sent to Adelaide. Melbourne won everything except the Debate. The old form of triangular interstate contests was re- newed in 1936, after a lapse of six years. Women's Hockey and Basketball, Men's Athletics, and Debating teams competed in Adelaide in a series of contests against the Sydney and Adelaide Colleges, and with victories in Athletics, Hockey, and Debating, retained the Interstate Re-union Shield, held by Melbourne since 1930, when the previous triangular contest was held here. In 1937, Sydney College found itself unable to attend the contests held in Melbourne, but permitted Adelaide and Melbourne to com- pete for the shield. Contests were held in Athletics, Basketball, Football, Men's and Women's Tennis. Women's Hockey, with a non-competitive debate. Melbourne was successful in all contests. In 1938 it had been proposed that Interstate should be held in Sydney, but they were unable to arrange the visit, and Adelaide invited Melbourne to participate in contests in Adelaide. On this occasion Adelaide, with victories in Men's Tennis, Athletics, Basket-ball and Hockey, won the shield for the first time. In 1939 Interstate was held in Melbourne, when Adelaide succeeded again in carrying away the Shield. In 1940, 39 owing to the war, interstate contests between Adelaide and Melbourne were cancelled by mutual agreement. In 1947, the interstate contests were resumed in Adelaide, Adelaide winning the shield for the third time in succession. Adelaide and Claremont (W.A.) visited Melbourne in 1948. • Adelaide retained the shield, and presence of Claremont representatives added considerable interest to the contests. In 1949 Melbourne made the trip to Adelaide, where they lost all but the Athletics. Adelaide thus won the shield for the fifth year in succession. Claremont were unable to participate owing to transport difficulties. In 1950, Melbourne and Adelaide travelled to Clare- mont, where Melbourne at last regained possession of the shield. INTRASTATE CONTESTS Contests between Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong Teachers' Colleges were resumed in 1949, and are conducted whenever Interstate is away from Melbourne, for those not proficient enough to gain Interstate selection..= :. Contests are held in Men's Basketball, Badminton, Hockey, Tennis, Football and Women's Basketball. Mel- bourne won both 1949 and 1950 contests on aggregate mints. 40 Results of Interstate Contests. 1930 1936 1937 1938 1939 1947 1948 1949 1960 Hockey ...... Melb. Melb. Melb. Adel. Melb. Adel. Adel.

REUNION. For many years Thursday of Show Week has been the occasion of the Annual Reunion of Ex-Students of the College. In the afternoon a social game of cricket was played against the present students, while the women contested honours in basket-ball. In the evening the Reunion Ball never failed to attract hundreds of "Exies" to renew friendships and tell over the good old times. Following the lapse of the Interstate contests in 1931, the Reunion contests assumed a new significance. It was felt that a valuable experience was being missed by all who were denied the privilege of taking part in Interstate. A committee of past and present students therefore planned a series of contests, based on the old Interstate programme—spread over two days. The success of the venture was enormous. The crowning event of the contests, and of the year, was the Ball, held in the Palais de Danse, St. Kilda, and attended by more than 500. During the evening, "The Ashes," contained in a handsome bronze urn, were presented to the Captain of the College. This urn was donated by Professor and the late Mrs. G. S. Browne, and contains the charred remnants of the football, basket-ball, hockey ball, and lacrosse ball used in the 1932 contests, 41 together with the cremated remains of John Dewey ("Demos. and Edn."), a tattered corner of an old College flag, and certain other historic relics. In 1933 the same programme, with the addition of a debate on the Wednesday night, was again carried out, and with the same remarkable enthusiasm and success. This time the honours went to the Ex-Students. Each year many stalwarts of the College teams will be passing into the ranks of the "Exies." The "Exie" teams seem to be composed solely of giants, but the present students have the advantage of organisation and of having played together throughout the year. In 1934, the Reunion Cele- brations were just as successful, although the College teams won back the Ashes fairly comfortably. In 1935, the Debate was excluded, and of the six contests held, each group won three. The College won on percentages, and we held the Ashes by virtue of that. The Sixth Annual Reunion of past and present students in 1936 showed that the standard of College sport has been well maintained. For the first time on record, the Exies were defeated by the College football team, while further successes in Hockey and Basketball enabled the College to retain the now historic cinders by four contests to two. In 1937 owing to the coincidence of the Schools and the College vacations due to the Education Conference in Melbourne, a modified form only of Reunion was held in May. Because this Reunion was only for recent Exies the Urn was not competed for. Since then, the College vacations and school holidays, in both May and September, have coincided, and, on the last Friday afternoon of the September holidays, the O.T.A. arranges a meeting at the College in the afternoon and a ball in the Union Buffet in the evening. In 1943 the S.R.C. assumed responsibility for Reunion, and successfully organized a sports meeting in the second term vacation, followed by a ball in the Union Buffet at night. The old custom of presentation of the Urn was revived at this function, the honour for 1943 going to the "Exies." "Exies" were again successful in 1944, 1945, 1946. College took the honours in 1947, and in 1948 they retained the "Ashes" after a close contest. The 1949 and 1950 contest was inconclusive. 42

The following notice, which appeared in the "Education Gazette" for October, 1928, should be read by all who Intend to enter the Teachers' College:— In the past some students of the Melbourne Teachers' College have, before entrance, engaged in professional sport, particularly in running. The College teams are entered under amateur rules in various metropolitan associations, and students who have not strictly preserved their amateur status previous to enrolment at the College are therefore debarred from representing the College, both in the Saturday matches and in the Interstate teams. They are also unable to take part in various inter-house contests within the College itself. All student teachers who intend to apply later for studentships in the Teachers' College are recommended not to engage in any form of professional sport, either at school or while student teachers. Under the rules of the Victorian Amateur Athletic As- sociation, any person who accepts money under any of the following conditions automatically disqualifies himself from all amateur competitions:- 1. As payment for participation in sport. 2. As a prize or reward. 3. As expenses for travelling, etc., without first obtain- ing permission from the above-named Association. 45

GROUNDS. The College is well equipped with four tennis and two basket-ball courts, which are maintained from the students' sports fees. Hockey is played on the field at the rear of the College. This field is also used for cricket practice, and football training. Since we are unfortunate in not having an oval attached to the College, athletic contests are held on the University Oval. With a large number of teams competing in association matches each week, the inadequacy of grounds is keenly felt. It is a tribute to the enthusiasm of College teams that they have done so well in the past under such disadvantages. ACCIDENT FUND. The S.R.C. may consider claims for reimbursement for medical expenses of students injured in official college sport, providing a report is made on the official form. The accident report is to be lodged within 48 hours of the accident, and the claim lodged before the November meeting of the S.R.C.

SOCIAL SERVICE COMMITTEE. In 1946, the College War Effort Fund was replaced by the Social Service Committee. Its primary purpose is to raise funds, mainly from House Concerts, to assist welfare institutions and provide amenities for College.

OLD TRAINEES' ASSOCIATION. On leaving the College all students become members of the Old Trainees' Association (commonly called the O.T.A.). During the College course, and on leaving College, students find themselves members of a great society of past trainees, all moved by common interests and united by bonds of good fellowship and of affection for the College. The O.T.A. has a membership extending over a long series of years. The September Reunion, with the contests against present students, and the Reunion Ball, is the central event of the O.T.A. year. The "Griffin" also serves as an important link with the College, and Ex-Students are invited to send "Exie" news to the Editors. Copies of the "Griffin" and the "Trainee" will be posted free to Ex-Students on payment of the annual subscription (7/6) to the Business Manager. 46

O.T.A. Officials for 1951 are: President: Mr. C. S. Ruwoldt. Vice-President: Miss A. Frank. Secretary-Treasurer: Mr. I. Ternes. With six Committee Members from outgoing 1950 students. 47

SONGS. This collection includes the songs commonly usea at College Assemblies, Reunion, Interstate, and other functions. Students will find many of them very suitable for use later in schools.

The College Anthem. Hail to our College!—with hearts brave and hopeful, Strong for life's battles we leave its old walls; Eager where light hands of pleasure are beck'ning, But ever responsive when stern duty calls. Ch.: Non omnis mortar, non omnis mortar! All is not mortal; let us be gay— That which is best in us—great thoughts, Deeds glorious—ne'er will decay. Here's to our comrades, in fast fleeting moments, We've worked with and played with in hours grave and gay: The links slight though seeming, they ne'er will be broken; We'll sing to our meeting yet many a day. Here's to our work!—with purpose unshaken, Noble ideals and first youthful zest, Far years shall find us, and our triumphs prove That noblest is highest and truest is best. Hail to our fallen, their spirits triumphant, Faithful to duty, not fearing to die; They give to our College a glory unfailing, A new note of triumph resounds in our cry. —A. Slade

Anthem—Ballarat Teachers' College "Extra Muros" "Extra Muros!" rings the cry And echoes through our halls. There's a vision splendid set Beyond the College walls. Thro' the happy days of now The common tasks that bind. There's a gladness found alone In service of our kind. 49

School of oars atop the hill That yielded once its gold. When the years are counted And the story fully told. Ours to see it written then, The school atop the hill Capp'd the golden glory With a glory greater still.. "Extra Muros!" School of Ours! The spirit of thy halls Bids us boldly venture where The voice of duty calls. Ours the grand assurance that R"hate'er the future's store, The great reward of serving is The chance of serving more. —Helen Ellis.

Anthem—Bendigo Teachers' College 'Per Ardua Ad Astra" Raise to our College paeans of thankfulness While at the portals of life here we stand. Glimpse in the future the vision before us. Work to be done for our own southern land. Raise high the torch that the College has lighted. Pause not for rest until old wrongs are righted. Then shall we soar as in youth once we planned Through strength to the stars. —G. R. Mills. A Teachers' Hymn. "Let There Be Light." Oh, ye teachers! from the future comes a message For your ears; It is fraught with supplication and with presage. Hopes and fears; Is your service consecrated? Will man's life be elevated Nearer heaven by your labours in the coming of the years? Have you seen the dawn that's waking o'er the mountains Far away? Seen the flood of radiance breaking from God's fountains, Ray on ray? Have you seen the darkness dying? Have you seen the shadows flying? Has the vision burst upon you of a greater, brighter day? Tes, oh, yes, we've seen the flaming at the gateway Of the morn; And our spirits in the future light are straightway Newly born; With our faces lifted sunward, With our cry of "Onward, onward!" We are marching, praying, working for humanity's new dawn. 50

We will fling the gifts, unstinted, of the knowledge We have gained, Till the dream of one vast world-embracing College Is attained, Where the server is the better, And the giver is the getter, And where man shall walk with God once more in Paraffin. Regained. —R. Lawson. The College With the Griffin. (Air: "Ho-ro, My Nut-Brown Maiden."` "The College with the Griffin!" The toast to which we rise, Let loud-resounding chorus Swell upward to the skies. Ch.: "Hurrah!" we shout, proclaiming Its fame to endless time; The student bands are singing For days of auld lang syne. 'Tis here for life we're forming Those ties of friendship dear, Which, though so lightly binding, Endure for many a year. Ch.: "Hurrah!" we shout ... . We oft, in hopeful musing, The misty future view; May blossom of our springtime Bear fruit to promise true. Ch.: "Hurrah!" we shout ... And as through life we journey, To memory's stream we turn; For careless days so happy Our hearts will often yearn Ch.: "Hurrah!" we shout .... —R. G. Bienvenu.. The Green and Gold. (Air: "Vicar of Bray.") The other night. when fast asleep, • I saw a wondrous vision, Our captain on a griffin's back, A startling apparition! He laid his hand upon my brow, My poor heart sadly fluttered. And spoke some words—I hear them now— And this is what he uttered: 5l

Ch.: The team will win, that I declare, Our course they cannot stop, Sir; Come wet, come tine, come foul or fair, The Green and Gold's atop, Sir." rose and shook his trusty hand, My former fears were banished, He smiled, and kicked the griffin's ribs. And so the vision vanished. But still, as seasons wax and wane, No matter whom we're playing, However grim or dark the game, We'll hear our captain saying: —A. Ellis. Laughing Song. Here's to the good old College, where we train, What, again? Here's to the good old Co.lege, may its fame Never wane. Here's to the good old College, Where loads and loads of knowledge Are cramm'd into the hollows of our brain. So be gay, night and day, While you may; for they say We'll be ezies so very, very soon. (Laugh.) Here's to the good old Griffin, he's a bird, What a bird! Here's to the good old Griffin, he's a bird, How absurd! Here's to the good old Griffin, The man is now a stiff 'un, Who ever heard the Griffin say a word. See him fly, through the sky, (So might I when I die), By the light of the silvery moon. (Laugh.) Here's to the College ladies, say good-bye With a sigh. Here's to the College ladies—some are shy, Wonder why! Here's to the College ladies, U they keep that sort in Hades. i won't care a button when I die. Strolling home, all alone, (Quite alone? On your nwi.?; By the light of the silvery morn. (Laugh.) 52

Here's to the College men whom we just Can't forget, . Here's to the College men, they stand the test You may bet, In days of sport and pleasure. They really are a treasure, In tact they are the best we've ever met. On the field, on the court, At their work, at their sport— And Ly the light of the silvery moon. (Laugh.) Here's to the good old yaffles in the barn,t What a yarn! Here's to the good old yaffles in the barn, What's the harm? We know they've often yaffled, But what has got us baffled, Is just what do they yaffle in the barn. Now and then, in the shade, All the men serenade By the light of the silvery moon. (Laugh.) Here's to the good old Exies of the Green And the Gold, Here's to all the Trainees gathered back To the fold; From Gippsland to the Mallee, From hillside, plain and valley, They've rallied round to waken mem'ries old. See them come, worries none, Looking glum ? No not one, By the light of the silvery moon. (Laugh.)

Toujours! Toujours! We're from the Sunny South, The Teachers+ Coll.'s our home, Sir; A. finer place you'll never face, No matter where you roam, Sir.

t This was the Women's Dormitory demolished in 1941. 53

Chorus: Toujours, toujours, pour Bacchus et les amours, Yap, yap, yap. tra-la-la-la-la, Yap, yap, yap, tra-la-la-la-la, Yap, yap, yap, tra-la-la-la-la, Pour Bacchus et les amours. Our Principal aspires To work us more and more, SIr. He'll plan and plot to make us swot, His name is G. R. Mills, Sir.

A band of Primes are we. Renowned throughout the land, Sir; We're torn to bits in all our "crits"— But talking shop is banned, Sir. ".'he Griffin sits aloft, And watches all the night, Sir; On garden seats, in dark retreats, Sees many a funny sight, Sir. And now, God bless our Coll., And give the Premier prudence To pay the noblest band on earth— The Teachers' College students.

We Want Everybody Happy. When your head is a-busting, And exams. you think a bore, Do your best to be happy, happy, happy. For you'll soon be having plenty more. Ch.: We want everybody happy. We want everybody glad; We want everybody happy, happy, happy, And we don't want anybody sad. When the breakfast bell is ringing, And you have not done your hair; Ask the Primes to sing out, "Hang back!" And go slow till you get there. When at football you are playing. And you have yet to score. Don't mind the foe, but kick it, kick it harder, And mix things up a bit once more. b4

"Vive la Compagnie." Let every good fellow now fill up his glass, Vive la Compagnie, And drink to the health of his glorious class, Vive la Compagnie. Ch.: Vive la, Vive la, Vive l'amour! Vive la, Vive la, Vive l'amour! Vive la reine! Vive le roi! Vive la Compagnie. Here's to our Principal, give him a cheer, Vive la Compagnie, To show him we're glad to have him right here, Vive la Compagnie. Here's to our Lecturers—they're a good lot, Vive la Compagnie. There's some of them good and some of them—what! Vive la Compagnie. Here's to our Exies, set up in a row, Vive la Compagnie. For students to look at—it's not a bad show, Vive la Compagnie. Here's to ourselves, we're the best of the crowd, Vive la Compagnie, Too modest to sing our own praises aloud— Vive la Compagnie.

Fellowship. Here's to comrades in all kinds of weather, Loyal to all—that holds us together; Walking with wind and rain, down city street or lane, Hearts lifting lightly to greet the fresh sky. Here's to hearth-stone and all that we cherish, Tender mem'ry that never will perish; Home and friendly fire, dreams and heart's desire, Holding us ever to thoughts of the past. Here's to tunes that brighten our singing, Weaving patterns of melody ringing; May our voices blend thoughts of each faithful friend, Near or apart but never forgot. —Eleanor Alletta Chaffee (German Folk Song). 55

A Student's Life. (To the tune of the Policeman's Song.) When a student's not engaged in his employment. Or frustrating his Professor's little plans, His capacity for innocent enjoyment Is just as great as any other man's. Our feelings we with difficulty smother, When we think of all the essays to be done. Ah! Take one consideration with another, A student's life is not a happy one— When we think of all the essays to be done, A student's life is not a happy one. When the enterprising prim'ries aren't a-working, When the LT.C.'s have put their scraps away, There is always someone in the background lurking. With work to do upon another day. rho' he's separated from his home and mother, And basking in the Departmental Sun, Still, take one consideration with another, A student's life Is not a happy one— And basking in the Departmental Sun, A student's life is not a happy one.

Reunion Song. (Tune: "The Mighty Norseman.") Once more within these walls we meet The friends of bygone years; With smile and sigh each other greet, With laughter and with tears. Old memories crowd upon us now, As face to face we stand, With friendly thoughts, with hearts aglow, With loving clasp of hand. Ch.: Then sing the old familiar toast; To comrades brave and true, To students that we loved the most— To dear old friends we knew. From North and South, from East and West. From town and bush we come; Each in these halls a welcome guest, For here was once our home. Here, in the days now gone for aye, We learned to walk in wisdom's way, We learned to walk in wisdom's way, And tread the paths of truth. 58

For one glad day we meet again, As in the days of yore; Our sweet reunion fraught with pain For those that are no more. Now for the sake of College fine, And for our Doctor dear, And for the days of auld lang syne We'll give a hearty cheer. —A.. G. Waterwort .

Gaudeamus. Gaudeamus igitur, Juvenes dum sumus; Post jocundam juventutem Post molestam senectutem Nos habebit humus. Ubi aunt, qui ante nos In mundo fuere? Vadite ad superos Transite ad inferos Ubi jam? Fuere. Vita nostra brevis est, Brevi finietur; Venit mors velociter, Rapit nos atrociter Nemini parcetur.

Adieu! Adieu, adieu, old Coll., adieu, adieu. And if I never more see you, see you, Although the time nas come for us to part. You've still a corner in my heart, my heart. No more of prac. weeks now for me, for me, To-morrow night I shall be free, be free; And yet I think, I'd risk a lot of pain To be a Junior once again, again. No more of evening prep. for me, for me; To-morrow I shall stew no more, you see; And yet, somehow, I don't feel very glad, In fact, I'm feeling rather sad, absurdly sad. Adieu, adieu, old Coll., adieu, adieu, And if I never more see you, see you. Although the time has come for us to part, You've still a corner in my heart, my heart 57

The Policeman's Song. ("The Pirates of Penzance.") When a felon's not engag'd in his employment, (His. employment?) Or maturing his felonious little plans, (Little plans,) His capacity for innocent enjoyment (-Cent enjoyment,) Is just as great as any honest man's, (Honest man's,) Our feelings we with difficulty smother, (-Culty smother,) When constabulary duty's to be done, (To be done.) Ah take one consideration with another (With another). A policeman's lot is not a happy one. (Ah,) When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done, The policeman's lot is not a happy one, happy one. When the enterprising burglar's not a-burgling, (Not a-burgling,) When the cut-throat isn't occupied in crime, (-Pied in crime,) He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling (Brook a gurgling.) And listen to the merry village chime, (Village chime,) When the coster's finished jumping on his mother, (On, his mother,) He loves to lie a-basking in the sun, (In the sun). Ah take one consideration with another (With another) A policeman's lot is not a happy one. (Ah,) When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done, The policeman's lot is not a happy one, happy one.

Chorus: For in spite of all temptations To belong to other nations, He remains an Englishman! He remains an Englishman!

When the Foeman Bares His Steel. ("The Pirates of Penzance.") When the foeman bares his steel Tarantara, tarantara! We uncomfortable feel! Tarantara, And we find the wisest thing, Tarantara, tarantara! Is to slap our chests and sing Tarantara! Tarantara, tarantara! For when threaten'd with erneutes Tarantara, tarantara, And your heart is in your boots, Tarantara!

Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair, Borne like a vapor on the summer air. I see her tripping where the bright streams play Happy as the daisies that dance on her way. Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,. Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er. I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair Floating like a vapor on the soft summer air. I long for Jeanie with the day-dawn smile, Radiating gladness warm with winning guile, I hear her melodies like joys gone by. Sighing my heart o'er the fond hopes that die. Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain, Waiting for the lust one that comes not again, I long for Jeanie and my heart bows low Never more to find her where the bright waters flow. 60 Santa Lucia Now 'neath the silver moon Ocean is glowing, O'er the calm billow Soft winds are blowing. Hark, how the sailor's cry Joyously echoes nigh, Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

When o'er thy waters Light winds are playing, The spell can soothe us, All care allaying, To thee, sweet Napoli, What charms are given, Where smiles creation Toil blest by Heaven, Home of fair poesy, Realm of pure harmony, Santa Lucia! Santa Lucia!

My Old Kentucky Home The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay; The corntop's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom, While the birds make music all the day. The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, All merry, all happy and bright; By'm-by hard times comes a-knocking at the door, Then, my old Kentucky home, good-night,

Chorus: Weep no more, my lady, O weep no more to-day! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For the old Kentucky home, far away.

They hunt no more for the possom and the coon On the meadow, the hill and the shore; They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon On the beach by the old cabin door. The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, With sorrow where all was delight; The time has come when the darkies have to part, Then, my old Kentucky home, good-night! 81

The head must bow and the back will have to bend Wherever the darkey may go; A few more days. and the trouble all will end In the field where the sugar canes grow. A few more days for to tote the weary load, No matter. 'twill never be light; A few more days till we totter on the road. Then, my old Kentucky home, good-night! Ye Banks and Braes 0' Bonnie Doon. Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon. How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair? How can ye chaunt, ye little birds, And I'm sae weary fu' o' care? Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling bird That warbles on the flow'ry thorn, Ye mind me o' departed Joys, Departed never to return. Oft ha'e I roved by bonnie Doon.. By morning and by evening shine, To hear the birds sing o' their loves As fondly once I sang o' mine. Wi' lightsome heart I stretch'd my hand And pu'd a rosebud from the tree; But my fause lover stole the rose And left. and left the thorn wi' me. Die Lorelei. I know not why my gladness Hath passed so soon away; My spirit is fill'd to sadness With lilt of an olden lay. The air is dewy and darkling, And calmly fioweth the Rhine; The crest of the hills is sparkling In light of even-shine. There sitteth a maid in the gloaming, A maid divinely fair; 'Mid gleam of her gems is combing Her curls of golden hair. From golden comb she is raining Her tresses, and sings from on high, A passionate, soul-enchaining, Entrancing melody. The sailor, with wild pangs thrilling, Is chain'd by magic tone; While breakers his skiff are filling, He gazeth on her alone. He with the surge descending, Is swept along with his boat; And such is ever the ending Of the Lorelei's witching note. —Friedrich Silcher. 62

O loo, John! on yonder bill there stands a creature. Who she is I do not know; I'll go ask her hand in marriage, She must answer yes or no. Chorus: O no, John! no John; no—John, no My father was a Spanish captain, Went to sea a month ago; First he kissed me, then he left me, Bid me always answer no. O madam, in your face is beauty, On your lips red roses grow; Will you take me for your husband? Madam, answer yes or no. O madam, since you are so cruel, And that you do scorn me so; If I may not be your husband, Madam, will you let me go? O hark! I hear the church-bells ringing, Will you come and be my wife? Or, dear madam, have you settled To live single all your life?

Blow the Man Down. Come all ye young fellows that follow the sea, With a yeo-ho! we'll blow the man down; And please pay attention, and listen to me, Give us some time to blow the man down. On board the Black Bailer, I first served my time. With a yeo-ho! we'll blow the man down; And in the Black Baller, I wasted my prime. Give us some time to blow the man down. There were tinkers and tailors, and sailors and all. With a yeo-ho! we'll blow the man down, That shipped for good seamen on board the Black Ball Give us some time to blow the man down. 'Tis larboard and starboard you jump to the call, With a yeo-ho! we'll blow the man down. When kicking Jack Williams commands the Black Ball Give us some time to blow the man down. 133

When I'm lonely, dear white heart, Black the nigh t or wild the sea, By love's light my foot finds The old pathway to thee.

Chorus: Vair me, etc.

Thou'rt the music of my heart, Harp of joy, oh cruit mo chridh, Moon of guidance by night, Strength and light thou'rt to me. —Marjory Kennedy-Fraser. 65

Isalei.

(Old Fijian Tune.) To my island where dreamy sunlit waters Dance and sparkle, and playful waves the spray flings; To my village, where coral beaches beckon, Straight you sailed and anchored to my heart-strings. Chorus: Isalei....Sail not far awa My best-loved friend from you I cannot part; In my canoe, There's a place for you. In my village a welcome in each heart.

In your presence the song-birds warble sweeter, Arrhtng rainbows make colours rich as treasure; Stately palm trees, that waft us gentle breezes, Fan the moon-rays that light the hours for pleasure. I am sad that now you are departing, For your friendship doth send dull thought a-winging; With my frail canoe I cannot follow, Come you back and keep my heart a-singing. (Trans. and Air by A. L. Beck.)

Song of the Volga Boatman

Row. boys, row, row, boys, row, Toil. tho' weary. row, boys, row! Row, boys, row, row, boys, row, Toil, tho' weary, row, boys, row! Heav'n may help the poor man's need, Soon the end may crown the deed. Row, brothers, row, for yon is the shore. Man shall labour evermore.

Sing, boys, sing, sing, boys, sing, Song gives courage, sing, boys, sing. Sing. boys, sing, sing, boys, sing, Song gives courage, sing, boys, sing. Trust the Mighty Father's care, He can make all labour fair. Row. brothers, row, hold out thro' the night, God shall hold us in His sight. 66 The Road to the Isles It's a far croonin' that is pullin' me away As take I wi' my cromak to the road. The far Coolins are putting love on me As step I wi' the sunlight for my load. Chorus: Sure, by Tummel and Lock Bannock and Lochaber I will go, By heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles; If it's thinkin' in your inner heart braggart's in my step, You've never smelt the tangle o' the Isles. Oh. the far Coolins are puttin' love on me, As step I wi' my cromak to the Isles. It's by Shell water the track is to the west, By Aillort and by Morar to the sea; The cool tresses I am thinkin' o' for pluck, An' bracken for a wink on Mother knee. It's the blue Islands are pullin' me away, There laughter puts the leap upon the lame; The blue Islands from the Skerries to the Lews, Wi' heather honey taste upon each name. Who's That a-Calling? The moon is beaming o'er the sparkling rill, Who's that a-calling? The flow'rs are sleeping on the plain and hill, Who's that calling so sweet? While birds are resting till the golden dawn, Who's that calling? Twas like the singing of the one now gone, Who's that calling so sweet? Chorus: Who's that a-calling? Is it one we long to greet? Who's that a-calling? Who's that a-calling so sweet? The leaves are rustling 'neath the star-lit sky, Who's that a-calling? The streamlet murmurs as it passes by, Who's that calling so sweet? Oh! is it a message from far o'er the sea, Who's that a-calling? Is it my darling who now speaks to me, Who is calling so sweet? —J. B. Lawreen. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Ch.: Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home, Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home. 67

I looked over Jordan and what did I see Coming for to carry me home, A band of angels coming after me, Coming for to carry me home. If you get there before I do, Tell all my friends I'm coming, tou. The brightest day that ever I saw, When Jesus washed my sins away. Tm sometimes up and sometimes down. But still my soul feels heavenly bound.

Carry Me Back to Old Virginnie.

Carry me back to Old Virginnie, There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow, There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring time, There's where this old darkie's heart am long' to go. There's where I laboured so hard for old massa, Day after day in the fields of yellow corn. No place on earth do I love more sincerely Than Old Virginnie, the place where I was born.

The Ash Grove Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander, When twilight is fading I pensively rove. Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander, Amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash Grove; 'Twas there. while the blackbird was cheerfully singing, I first met that dear one. the Joy of my heart! Around us lot gladness the bluebells were ringing; Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part.

Still glows the bright sunshine o'er valley and mountain, Still warbles the blackbird its note from the tree, Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain, But what are the beauties of nature to me? With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom Is laden, All day I go mourning in search of my love, Ye echoes, oh! tell me, Where is the sweet maiden? She sleeps 'neath the green turf down by the Ash Grove. 68

Forty Years On. Forty years on, when afar and asunder, Parted are those who are singing to-day, When you look back, and forgetfully wonder What you were like in your work and your play; Then, it may be, there will often come o'er you, Glimpses of notes like the catch of a song, Visions of boyhood shall float up before you. Echoes of dreamland shall bear them along. Ch.: Follow up! Follow up! Follow up! Follow up? Till the field ring again and again, With the tramp of the thirty-six men, Follow up! Follow up! Rout and discomfltures, rushes and rallies, Marking and kicking, and passing it on, Strife without anger, and art without malice, How will it seem to you, forty years on? Then, you will say, not a feverish minute Strain'd the weak heart and the wavering knee, Never the battle rag'd hottest, but in it Neither the last nor the faintest were we. Ch.: Follow up! Follow up! etc. O! the great days, in the distance enchanted, Days of fresh air, in the rain and the sun, How we rejoic'd as we struggled and panted, Hardly believable forty years on! How we discours'd of them, one with another. Arguing triumph, or balancing fate, Loved the ally with the heart of a brother, Hated the foe with a playing at hate! Ch.: Follow up! Follow up! etc. Forty years on, growing older and older, Shorter in wind, as in memory long, Feeble of foot, and rheumatic of shoulder, What will it help you that once you were strong. God give us goals to guard or beleaguer, Games to play out, whether earnest or fun, Fights for the fearless, and goals for the eager, Twenty, and thirty, and forty years on! Ch.: Follow up! Follow up! eta . Funiculi, Funicula. Some think the world is made for fun and frolic. And so do I Some think it well to be all melancholic, To pine and sigh But I, I love to spend my time in singing Some joyous song To set the air with music bravely ringing Is tar from wrong 69

Chorus: Listen! Listen! Echoes sound afar. Listen! Listen! Echoes sound afar. F uniculi, funicula, funicual, funicula. Echoes sound afar. F unicull, funicula. Some think it wrong to set the feet a-dancing, But not so I Some think it well to keep from coyly glancing Upon the sly But oh! to me the mazy dance is charming, Divinely sweet And surely there is nought that is alarming In nimble feet Listen! Listen! Music sounds afar, etc. Ah, me! 'tts strange that some should take to sighing, And like it well For me, I have not thought it worth the trying, So cannot tell With laugh, and dance, and song, the day soon passes, Full soon is gone For mirth was made for joyous lads and lasses— To call their own Listen! Listen! Hark the soft guitar, etc.

Requiem. Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live, and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the kill. Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill. —R. L. Stevenson. 70

John Peel. Do ye ken John Peel with his coat so gay, Do ye ken John Peel at the break of day, Do ye ken John Peel when he's far, far away With his hounds and his horn in the morning?

Chorus: For the sound of his horn brought me from my bed And the cry of the hounds which he oft-times led: Peel's view halloo! would awaken the dead, Or the fox from his lair in the morning. Yes, I ken John Peel and Ruby, too, And Ranger and Ringwood, Bell-man and True; From a find to a check, from a check to a view, From a view to a death in the morning. Do ye ken John Peel with his coat so gay? He lived at Trout-beck once on a day, But now he has gone far away, far away, We shall ne'er hear his voice in the morning.

Fairings. Come, my young master, and mistress too. Fairings in plenty, and all for you, In plenty and all for you! Apples and pears, juicy and mellow, Honey sweet plums, purple and yellow, Candies and sweets, cakes made of honey, Lasses and lads, out with your money. Come, my young master, and mistress too. Fairings in plenty and all for you, In plenty and all for you! Ribbons of green, orange and blue, miss! 'Kerchiefs of silk, dainty as you miss, sir? Brooches and beads, which will you buy, Lockets and rings, maidens are shy, sir. Come, my young master, and mistress too. Fairings in plenty, fairings in plenty, Fairings in plenty, and all for you.

Where'er You Walk the glade, Where'er you walk cool gales shall fan Trees where you sit shall crowd into a shade, Trees where you sit shall crowd into a Repeat. Where'er you tread the blushing flowers shall eyes. all things flourish where'er you turn y 71

All Thro' the Night. (Owen.) Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee. All thro' the night. Guardian angels, God will send thee, All thro' the night Soft the diowsy hours are creeping. Hill and vale in slumber steeping, 1, my loving vigil keeping, All thro' the night. While the moon her watch is keeping, All thro' the night; While the weary world is sleeping, All thro' the night; O'er thy spirit gently stealing, Visions of delight revealing, Breathes a pure and holy feeling, All thro' the night. Hark! a solemn bell is ringing, Clear thro' the night. Thou, my love, art heav'nward winging, Home, thro' the night. Earthly dust to earth be shaken, Soul immortal, thou shalt waken, With thy last dim journey taken, Home, thro' the night. Lullaby. Sleep then, my princess, O sleep; Softly the night shadows creep; Forest and meadow are still, Peace falls on valley and hill, Luna appears in the sky, Holding her lantern on high, Stars now their night watches keep; Sleep then, my princess, O sleep, Good-night, good-night! Sleep then, my princess, O sleep; Calm flow the waters so deep; Soon shall thy weary lids close, Sink to a gentle repose. Mother shall leave her princess, Heaven thy slumber shall bless, Angels their night watches keep; Sleep then, my princess, O sleep- )ood-night, good-night! —Mozart. Î'r

Come to the Fair. The sun is a-shining to welcome the day, Heigh-ho! come to the fair! The folk are all singing so merry and gay, Heigh-ho! come to the fair! All the stalls on the green are as fine as can be, With trinkets and tokens so pretty to see, So it's come then, maidens and men, To the fair in the pride of the morning. So deck yourselves out in your finest array, With a heigh-ho! come to the fair! The fiddles are playing the tune that you know: "Heigh-ho! come to the fair!" The drums are all beating, away let us go, Heigh-ho! come to the fair! There'll be racing and chasing from morning till night, And roundabouts turning to left and to right, So it's come then, maidens and men, To the fair in the pride of the morning. So lock up your house, there'll be plenty of fun, And it's heigh-ho come to the fair! For love-making, too, if so be you've a mind, Heigh-ho! come to the fair! For hearts that are happy are loving and kind, Heigh-ho! come to the fair! If "Haste to the wedding" the fiddles should play I warrant you'll dance to the end of the day; Come then, maidens and men, To the fair in the pride of the morning. The sun is a-shining to welcome the day, With a heigh-ho! come to the fair! Maidens and men, maidens and men, Come to the fair in the morning, Heigh-ho! come to the fair!

Over the Sea to Skye. Sing me a song of a lad that is gore. Say, could that lad be I? Merry of soul, he sailed one day, Over the sea to Skye. (Repeat after each verse.) Mull was astern, Rum on the port, Eigg on the starboard bow; Glory of youth glowed in his soul— Where is that glory now? 73

Give me again all that was there, Give me the sun that shone! Give me the eyes, give me the soul— Give me the lad that's gone. Billow and breeze, islands and seas, Mountains of rain and sun; All that was good, all that was fair, All that was me is gone.

King Arthur. King Arthur ruled the land—that he did, And a right good ruler was he—that he was. O he had three sons of yore, And he kicked them through the door Because they would not sing....

The first, he was a miller—that he was; The second, he was a weaver—that he was; And the third, he was a little tailor boy With his broad cloth under his arm....

The miller, he stole corn—that he did; The weaver, he stole yarn—that he did; But the little tailor boy, he stole corduroy To keep the other fellows warm.... '

The miller, he was drowned in his dam—that he was; The weaver, he was hanged with his yarn—that be was; But the devil ran away with the little tailor boy With his broad cloth under his arm....

Chalk and Flint. - Comes there now a mighty rally, From the weald and from the coast, Down from cliff and up from valley, Spirits of an ancient host. Castle grey and village mellow, Coastguard track and shepherd's fold, Crumbling church and cracked martello, Echo to this chant of old. Ch.: Oh! Chant of knight and chant of bowman Chant of squire and chant of yeoman: Kent and Sussex feared no foeman, In the valiant days of old. 74

Screaming gull and lark a-singing, Bubbling brook and booming sea, Church and cattle bells a-ringing, Swell the ghostly melody; Chalk and flint, Sirs, lie beneath ye, Mingling with our dust below; Chalk and flint, Sirs, lie beneath ye, This our chant of long ago. Hills that heed not time nor weather, Sussex down and Kentish lane, Roads that wind thro' marsh and heather Feel the mail-shod feet again; Chalk and flint their dead are giving— Spectres grim and spectres bold— Marching on to cheer the living With their battle chant of old.

Ho-Ro, My Nut Brown Maiden. Her eye so mildly beaming, Her look so frank and free, In waking and in dreaming, Is evermore with me. Ch.: Ho-ro, my nut-brown maiden. Hi-ri, my nut-brown maiden, Ho-no-no. maiden! Oh, she's the maid for me. And since from thee I parted, A long and weary while, I wander, heavy-hearted, With longing for thy smile. Ch.: Ho-ro, etc. And when, with blossoms laden, Bright summer comes again, I'll fetch my nut-brown maiden Down from the bonnie glen. Ch.: Ho-ro, etc.

Sanie Marais My Sane Marais is so far from my heart, And I'm longing to see her again. She lived on a farm on the Mo-ol River's bank Before I left on this campaign. Chorus (repeated): Oh! bring me back to the old Transvaal, That's where 1 long to be. 'Way yonder 'mongst the mealies by the green thorny tree Sane is waiting for me. I wonder if I'll ever see that green thorny tree, There where she's waiting for me. 75

I feared that the Khakis would get hold of me, They would send me away o'er the sea; I fled overland to the Orange River sand. In Upington I would be free, Chorus. At last there was peace and I started for home. To the Transvaal I've always adored; My Sane Marais will be waiting there for me, Her kiss will be my best reward. Chorus.

Haera Ra (Good-bye) Now is the hour, when we must say good-bye. Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea. While you're away, O then remember me. When you return you'll find me waiting here.

Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss within the cup, And I'll not look for wine. the thirst that from the soul doth rise, Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove's nectar sip, I would not change for thine. f sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much hon'ring thee, As giving it a hope that there It could not withered be: But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent'st it back to me; Since, when it grows, and smells, I sweat, , Not of itself, but thee.

Passing By. There is a ladye sweet and kind, Was never face so pleased my mind; I did but see ber passing by, And yet I love her till I die! 76

Her gestures, motions, and her smile, Her wit, her voice my heart beguile; Beguile my heart, I know not why; And yet I love her till I die. Cupid is winged and doth range Her country; so my love doth change. But change the earth or change the sky, Yet will I love her till I die.

Juanita. Soft o'er the fountain, Ling'ring falls the southern moon; Far o'er the mountain, Breaks the day too soon! In thy dark eyes' splendour, Where the warm-light loves to dwell, Weary looks, yet tender, Speak their fond farewell. Ch.: Nita! Juanita! Ask thy soul if we should part! Nita! Juanita! Lean thou on my heart. When in thy dreaming Moons like these shall shine again, And daylight beaming, Prove thy dreams are vain, Wilt thou not, relenting, For thine absent lover sigh? In thy heart consenting To a prayer gone by?

Rolling Down to Rio. rye never sailed the Amazon, I've never reached Brazil, But the "Don" and the "Magdalena," They can go there when they will. Yes, weekly from Southampton, Great steamers, white and gold, Go rolling down to Rio, Roll down, roll down to Rio, And I'd like to roll to Rio Some day before I'm old! To roll I'd like to roll to Rio some day before rm 014 77

I've never seen a jaguar, Nor yet an armadillo Dillowing in his armour, And I s'pose I never will. Oh. Unless I go to Rio These wonders to behold, Go rolling down to Rio, Roll down, roll down to Rio, And I'd like to roll to Rio Some day before rm old! To roll rd like to roll to Rio some day before rm old. —Kipling

Trade Winds.

In the harbour, in the island, in the Spanish Seas, Are the tiny white houses and the orange trees, And day long, night long, the cool and pleasant breeze. Of the steady trade winds blowing. There is the red wine, the nutty Spanish ale, The shuffle of the dancers, and the old salt's tale; The squeaking fiddle and the soughing in the sail, Of the steady trade winds blowing. And o' nights there's the fire flies and the yellow moon? And in the ghostly palm trees the sleepy tune Of the quiet voice calling •me, the long low croon Of the steady trade winds blowing. —Masefield,.

Cargoes.

Quinquireme of Nineveh, from distant Ophir, Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine, With a cargo of ivory and apes and peacocks, Sandalwood, cedar wood, and sweet white wine. Stately Spanish galleon, coming from the Isthmus, Dipping through the tropics by the palm green shore* With a cargo of diamonds, emeralds, amethysts, Topazes and cinnamon, and gold moidores. Dirty British coaster, with a salt-caked smoke stack, Butting through the Channel in the mad March days, With a cargo of Tyne coal, road rails, pig lead! Firewood. ironware. and cheap tin trays! Masefleld9 78

Laugh and Be Merry. Laugh and be merry, remember, better the world with • song, Setter the world with a blow in the teeth of a wrong: Laugh, for the time is brief, a thread the length of a span, Laugh, and be proud to belong to the old proud pageant of man. Laugh and be merry, remember, in olden time God made heaven and earth for the joy He took in s rhyme, Made them and filled them full with the strong red wine of His mirth, The splendid joy of the stars, the joy of the earth. So we must laugh and drink from the deep blue cup of the sky, Join in the jubilant song of the great stars sweeping by; Laugh and battle and work and drink of the wine outpoured, fn the dear green earth the sign of the joy of the Lord. Laugh and be merry together, like brothers akin, Guesting awhile in the rooms of a beautiful inn; Glad till the dancing stops and the lilt of the music ends, Laugh till the game is played and be you merry, my friend. —John Masefleld.

Waltzing Matilda. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his "billy' boiled. "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me." Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag, "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me." Up rode a squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred. Down came the troopers, one, two, three, "Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag? You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me." Up jumped the swagman and sprang Into the billabong. "You'll never catch me alive," said he: And his ghost may be beard as you pass by that billabong- "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me." 79

Good Night, ladies. Good-night, ladies. Good-night, ladies, Good-night, ladies, we're going to leave you now. Merrily we roll along, etc. Farewell, ladies. Farewell, ladies, Farewell, ladies, we're going to leave you now. Sweet dreams, ladies. Sweet dreams, ladies, Sweet dreams, ladies, we're going to leave you now.

Silent Night, Holy Night. Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright, Round you, Virgin Mother and Child. Holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar, Heav'nly hosts sing "Alleluia! "Christ, the Saviour, is born!" Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth! —Franz Gruber.

The First Noel (Traditional.) The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold Winter's night that was so deep. Ch.: Noel. Noel, Noel, Noel. Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And no it continued both day and night. 80

Land of Hope and Glory. Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crownnrt, God make thee mightier yet! On Sov'ran brows, beloved, renowned, Once more thy crown is set. Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained, Have ruled thee well and long; By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, Thine Empire shall be strong. Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee? Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set: God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet. Thy fame is ancient as the days, As ocean large and wide; A pride that dares, and heeds not praise, A stern and silent pride; Not that false joy that dreams content With what our sires have won; The blood a hero sire bath spent. Still nerves a hero son.

For England. The bugles of England were blowing o'er the sea, As they had called a thousand years—calling now to me, They woke me from my dreaming in the dawning of the day, The bugles of England—and how could I stay? The banners of England, unfurled across the sea, Floating out upon the wind, were beckoning to me, Storm-rent and battle-torn, smoke-stained and grey, The banners of England—and how could I stay? O England! I hear the cry of those that died for thee, Sounding like an organ voice across the winter sea; ' They lived and died for England, and gladly went their way, England! O England! How could I stay? —J. D. Burns.

Australia, O Thou Favoured Isle.

Hail to our land of kindly sun: Rare jewel of a southern sea; By bloodless conquest justly won. By distant battle rendered fran. 81

Australia! Oh. thou favoured isle. *marshal Mother of the brave: Beneath the blue of Heaven's smile, Thy starry flag o'er free men wave. Chorus: O, Thou who hast eternally The fate of nations in Thy hand. Oh, guard our country of the free! Lord God. give peace unto our land. Bold were our sires who o'er the sea Fared forth to win the virgin soil: Great venturers who dauntlessly In Empire's vanguard dared to toll. Australia! staunch in days of yore, When strong men's hands won on to fame! Australia! crowned by Anzac's shore, When seed of strong men sealed thy name! Grant we may glean through peaceful years Such honour as our sires have won, And, worthy sons of pioneers, Win harvest of a task well done. Australia! Be it rolling drums, Or peaceful ways in sunlit lands, May e'er the voices of our sons So laud the labour of our hands.

O God. Our Help. O God, our help in ages past, Jur hope for years to come; Our shelter from the stormy blast. And our eternal home. Under the shadow of Thy throne, Still may we dwell secure, Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defence is sure. A thousand ages in Thy eight Are like an evening gone. Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.

Recessional. God of our fathers, known of old— Lord of our far-flung battle-line- Beneath whose awful Hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine— Lord God of hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget! sz.

The tumult and the shouting dies-- The captains and the kings depart; Still stands Thine ancient Sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of hosts, be with . us yet. Lest we forget—lest we forget!

Jerusalem And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the Holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here, Among those dark Satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear, O, clouds unfold, Bring me my Chariot of Fire! I will not cease from mental light, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land. —Blak Turn Back, O Man Turn back, O man; for-swear thy foolish ways. Old now is earth, and none may count her days; Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame. Still will not hear thine inner God proclaim— "Turn back, O man; for-swear thy foolish ways." Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise. Age after age their tragic Empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep: Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise. Earth shall be fair, and all her people one; Nor 'till that hour shall God's whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky Peals forth in Joy man's old undaunted cry, "Earth shall be fair, and all her folks be one."

The Lincolnshire Poacher (Words and music printed by D'Almaine in 1835. Chappell mentions that it was sung before George IV at Windsor.) When I was bound apprentice, in famous Lincolnshire, I"ull well I serv'd my master for more than seven year. . Till I took up to poaching, as you shall quickly hear; Oh. 'tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year. As me and my companions were setting of a snare, 'Twas then Is e spied the gamekeeper, for him we did not care. For we can wrestle and fight, my boys, and jump o'er anywhere. Uh. 'tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the y ear. As me and jny companions were setting four or five, And, taking on 'em up again. »'e caught a hare alive. 1Ve took the hare alive, my boys, and through the woods did steer. Oh. 'tis my delight on a shining night in the season of the year. 1 threw him on my shoulder, and then we trudged home, We took him to a neighbour's house and sold him for a crown, We sold him for a crown, my boys, but, I did not tell you where. 0h. 'tie my delight on a shining night in the season of the year. Success to every gentleman that lives in Lincolnshire, Success to every puncher that wants to sell a hare. Bad luck to eve ,y that will not sell his deer. Uh. 'tie my delight on a shining night in the season of the year. The School at War. We don't forget—while in this dark December We sit in schoolrooms that you know so well, And hear the sounds that you so well remember—. The clock, the hurrying feet, the assembly bell; Others are sitting in the seats you sat in; There's nothing else seems altered here—and yet, Through all of it, the same old Greek and Latin, You know we don't forget.

We don't forget you—in the wintry weather You man the trench, or tramp the frozen snow; We play the games we used to play together, In days of peace that seem so long ago; But through it all, the shouting and the cheering. Those other hosts in graver conflict met, Those other sadder sounds your ears are hearing— Be sure we don't forget.

And you, our brothers, who for all our praying, To this dear school of ours come back no more, Who lie, our country's debt of honour paying— And not in vain—upon the foreign shore: Till that great day, when at the Throne in Heaven, The books are opened, and the judgment set, Your lives for honour and for England given, The School will not forget —C.A.A 54

Creation's. H>ra. To God eternal the heav'n's utter glory, From them His Name afar is heard. By earth and sea is repeated the story; Let all mankind receive their word. Who holds the numberless stars in their places? Who bids the sun his light diffuse? And hero-like his way pursues (Hep.). He comes with brightness and smiles in our faces,

God Save the King. God save our gracious King. Long live our noble King, God save the King! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the King! Thy choicest gifts in store On him be pleased to pour; Long may he reign! May he defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice. God save the King!

The War Cry.
