WESTLAKE BOYS HIGH SCHOOL

HEADMASTER'S ANNUAL REPORT, 1973

ROLL: The school r o l l at the beginning of t h i s year was 1,040, a fig u r e showing p r a c t i c a l l y no change from the previous year. The very buoyant labour market has tended to give us more leaving school during t h i s year than has been the case i n the past, but enrolments for next year show no dearth of further customers. Several of those who have l e f t early have not f u l f i l l e d the two year prc-apprenticeship requirements, so one can only assume that either the regulations are being severely stretched, or many boys w i l l be unable to gain t h e i r trade c e r t i f i c a t e , i n - s p i t e - o f promises made.

EXAMINATION RESULTS, 1972: School C e r t i f i c a t e : of 233 candidates, 161 obtained a group pass e n t i t l i n g them to 6th Form entry. (69% of t o t a l ) .

University Entrance: Of 190 candidates, 131 were accredited and 6 passed the Examination, some 72% of the t o t a l .

Scholarship and Bursary: David Crawley, Brian O'Hagan, Stephen Strother and Stuart Gardiner a l l gained Scholarships, and there 19 'A' Bursaries and 32 'B' Bursaries - an award rate of 73%.

A l l of these results represent some 15% or more above the national average which should help to dispel the gloom emanating from those prophets who are quoting academic decadence for the younger generation.

STAFFING: The s t a b i l i t y of our s t a f f i n g has been maintained over the past twelve months with few changes to record. Mr. E.T. Huang l e f t i n March and his p o s i t i o n was f i l l e d by Mr. T. O'Keeffe i n Term 2, and i n t h i s term by Mr. CA. Anderson.

Mr. J. Sealy has been on exchange in B r i t a i n , and his posi t i o n has been ably f i l l e d by Mr. M. Tonlinson who w i l l be returning to B r i t a i n i n December. Mr. N. Wooding has been r e l i e v i n g since the beginning of the second term in place of Mr. J. Horner who has been overseas on study leave. Mr. S. Valentine who has been i n long-term r e l i e v i n g work w i l l be reverting to part-time teaching next year. At the end of t h i s year we w i l l be losing the services of Mr. M. Kelly who, over the past two years, has given excellent service to Westlake as Head of History Department and master-in-charge of Rowing. His place w i l l be taken by Mr. S. Nield, at present on the Sta f f of Mt. Roskill Grammar School. Mr. L. Dwyer w i l l replace Mr. C. Ralfe who has been r e l i e v i n g i n the Science Department during t h i s year. Other new appointments are Mr. G. Lindsay and Mr. D. Tyler. Mr J. McGuinness w i l l be leaving to a posit i o n at Glenfield College.

I would l i k e to express to those teachers who are leaving our thanks fo r t h e i r service, and to a l l s t a f f members my thanks f o r another year

of loyal and valued service to our school. In-spite-of the d i f f i c u l t i e s and adverse p u b l i c i t y sought f o r and gained by a few of our students, I regard t h i s as a school where a very large majority of our students gain a tremendous amount from the work carried out, both in the classroom and i n the wide range of ex t r a - c u r r i c u l a r a c t i v i t i e s which wc can o f f e r , and t h i s is made possible only because of the extensive contribution made by many of the s t a f f .

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS: Extensive drainage has been carried out over our main f i e l d s , and improved conditions were noted through the winter. Extra t o p - s o i l i s at present being brought i n to the soccer f i e l d s i n order to provide a bet t e r grass cover and playing surface.

The addition of two new art-rooms has recently been completed, and is proving a tremendous asset compared with the previous unsuitable suite of rooms which served our Art Department.

Additional o f f i c e space i s enabling us to re-organise our main o f f i c e , and Mrs. Lightbourne can now handle telephone c a l l s without the discordant accompaniment of the duplicator, and the extra space i s giving added e f f i c i e n c y .

The provision of terraced seating near the Pavilion represents a valuable asset to the School, and we are indebted to Mr. P h i l l i p s , President of the Parent-Teacher Association, and parents, f o r several working Saturdays i n providing t h i s amenity.

BOARD OF GOVERNORS: Our Board was re-elected i n May f o r a three-year term with Dr. Shepherd replacing Mr. Finer who r e t i r e d from Office. A fu r t h e r term as Chairman by Mr. Mcintosh i s something welcomed by Staff and Students who recognise the l i b e r a l guidance given by Mr. Mcintosh to the Board i n arranging frequent meetings oi" Board members with S t a f f and Students. The recent i n v i t a t i o n to a Staff Representative to attend Board meetings i s a further move to strengthen lines of communication w i t h i n the School.

The School has had a sub-committee of Board, Parents, S t a f f , ex-Pupils and friends who have raised some $4,000 f o r rowing equipment, and I wish to thank Mr Darlow and his committee for t h e i r generosity i n making the impossible happen i n the form of a new Rowing Eight with necessary t r a i l e r .

SPORTING AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES: A very f u l l range of sporting a c t i v i t i e s has been offered t h i s year with widespread pupil p a r t i c i p a t i o n . I would record the following high honours gained during the year.

1. The Senior Soccer XI has won the Auckland Secondary School's Competition f o r the second year running.

2. The Cricket XI is leading the Senior 'A' Competition with two matches s t i l l to be played.

3. Michael Craven, of Form 6, has gained the highest honours as a cornetist i n being selected f o r the New Zealand National Band f o r

i t s extended tour next year.

4. Rex Lamb has won national representation in the O.K. Dinghy Yachting Team competing in Australia in January next.

5. Pieter Hos has won Fi r s t Prize in the Alliance Francaise Competition f o r senior secondary students - a very coveted honour i n the language f i e l d .

These hi g h l i g h t s can only accentuate the considerable depth on a wide f r o n t of our academic, sporting, musical and dramatic a c t i v i t i e s . I cannot speak too highly of the tremendous contribution made by S t a f f , Parents and senior boys to these a c t i v i t i e s .

* * * * * * * * * * * This year marks the completion of ten years that I have had the p r i v i l e g e of being Headmaster of t h i s School - each year in i t s e l f a challenge and with i t s own regards of lo y a l t y and successes, and i t s f r u s t r a t i o n s and f a i l u r e s , with f o r t u n a t e l y , the former group outweighting the number i n the l a t t e r .

Over the years, we have made concessions to l i b e r a l i s i n g our p o l i c i e s and curriculum, but also we have held f i r m l y to the features of the past which have stood the t e s t of time, and I make no apology for t h i s policy. In the f i e l d of Student Government we have, t h i s year, combined the orderly administration of a group of Prefects on an equal status with a Student Council which has brought through policy recommendations and has fostered c u l t u r a l and extra-c u r r i c u l a r a c t i v i t i e s . T would commend the prefect group f o r t h e i r valuable assistance i n keeping t h i s School functioning smoothly, an a t t r i b u t e which I know is valued by the majority of the p u p i l s , and at the same time the Student Council has prepared a varied programme ranging from a highly successful and educational motor week, to Socials, and to the f o s t e r i n g of inte r e s t i n a Student Recreational Centre f o r Westlake, which has to date, with the co-operation of the Parent-Teacher Association and the senior students of the Auckland School of Architecture, produced plans which w i l l be on display i n the near f u t u r e .

The key to the success of th i s year has been the co-operation and mutual respect of the two student groups, together working out constructive measures f o r the good of the school. I hope i t has set a worthwhile pattern for the future. One would only hope that comparable progress could be made with the long promised s t a f f i n g r a t i o s and improvements from a Government which i s enjoying the most prosperous years that New Zealand has ever known. I continue to remind the Minister of Education that t h i s School of over 1,000 has only one administrative assistant, whereas a l l co-educational school even of one quarter of the size have two such assistants. The Minister has not t o l d me how he expects one such person to cope with a l l the d i f f i c u l t i e s presented by 1,000 boys - I am glad that he recognises the need i n a l l co-ed schools, but would hope f o r equality of recognition and acknowledgement of a large problem in a large school.

"TECHNOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT"

Speech of Mr R. Norman to Senior Prize-Giving

I t i s usual on an occasion l i k e t h i s for the v i s i t i n g speaker to praise the virtuous and the successful, to commiserate with those of you who have yet to suf f e r the slings and arrows of the outrageous fortune of the examination room, to wish well those of you who are leaving, and to i n f l i c t on a l l of you the t r a d i t i o n a l homilies and exhortations concerning your future place i n society.

But I have something else to t a l k about. This is Technology and the Environment, and perhaps I could s t a r t with a true story.

Back i n 1949 I was a Construction Engineer engaged in bui l d i n g a steel r o l l i n g m i l l i n South Wales. I t was a massive undertaking, involving several large contracting organisations, and the b i l l f or the l o t was about 100 m i l l i o n .

My p a r t i c u l a r job i n t h i s work was supervising the erection of some 15,000 tons of s t r u c t u r a l steelwork. One day I was inspecting a lin e of columns on top of which were being welded some heavy steel girders on which would run the over-head gantry cranes. This day I found that one of the columns had not been welded to the Girder system. So next ti n e I saw the welding foreman I said "Jimmy, you haven't welded up the girder bearing at column A39". James Aitken was a hard­b i t t e n scot, and I hardly expected the sort of reply he gave. "But mon, ah canna weld t h e bearin'!" "Why Jimmy?" "Cause there's a wee b i r i d e s e t t i n 1 on a nest on the bottom flange o 1 the girder!" I went along with him to have a look. A l l around column A39, construction was in f u l l swing. The noise from pneumatic wrenches, chipping hammers and construction equipment was deafening. Yet there, r i g h t behind the s t i f f e n e r , on the bottom flange on the girder was a Robin i n a nest with three eggs.

That bearing remained unwelded u n t i l the la t e spring. Thus, i n the harsh metallic g l i t t e r of t h i s technological age, there i s s t i l l room fo r s e n s i t i v i t y and compassion. And r e a l l y that's what t h i s t a l k i s about. Technological development is transforming much of our environment. That i t is essential i n our continued quest f o r a better l i v i n g i s hard t o r e f u t e . But there are ways of doing t h i s , having regard to such things as d i g n i t y , h u m i l i t y and s e n s i t i v i t y . Somehow we must achieve t h i s r e c o n c i l i a t i o n between development and conservation.

But f i r s t , l e t me dwell f o r a moment or two on the q u a l i t y of some of our technical work i n New Zealand. Here on the stage I have an instrument known as an Optical Theodolite - t h i s i s used i n surveying. I t i s a good instrument i n i t s class, but i t i s by no means a rare one, and manv such theodolites are i n d a i l y use by engineering organisations. You may be interested to know that t h i s instrument i s capable of reading angles d i r e c t l y to one second of arc. Put another way, t h i s theodolite can s p l i t the horizon i n t o a m i l l i o n parts and measure them a l l , and i t can define an object one inch i n size from three miles away.

You may well ask the question "so what, why the need fo r a l l t h i s accuracy,, t h i s sophis t ica t ion?" Well 1**1 1 give you one reason.

When we b u i l d a large hydro-e lec t r ic dam across a r i v e r v a l l e y , I think you would agree that the system needs to be reasonably wa te r t i gh t . The dam must l i t i n to the country so that there i s a good seal against leakage a l l around. But what happens' when the lake f i l l s up behind the dam? The earth 's crust deforms with the weight of water. Take Benmore Lake fo r example. I t weighs two thousand m i l l i o n tons, and i t did not exis t ten years ago. The rock o f the ear th 's crust is only 10 to 20 miles th i ck and i t bends under such a load l i k e any other ma te r i a l . This has a considerable inf luence on the design of the dam and we need to know what deformations to expect. But how do we measure them? I f we are working close to the dam a l l our measuring points move w i t h the rest of the country-, so t h i s does not help. So what we have to do is set up s ta t ions many miles away and measure very long distance wi th extreme accuracy.

We have ju s t experienced a very i n t e r e s t i ng problem in t h i s precis ion survey-work . At present we are es tab l i sh ing base measurements i n the Waitaki basin so that movements can be observed when the massive hydro-e lec t r i c development i s completed. To get these measurements, we arc using Elec t ronic Theodolites known as Geodimeters which measure distance by determining the time i t takes a beam of l i g h t to do the re tu rn journey between two survey stat ions several miles apart . And we found we had a problem. When we did the measurements at n i g h t , the answers always came out a l i t t l e b i t longer than the same measurements taken i n the daytime. I t was only a centimetre or two i n a distance of ten k i lometres , but i t was qui te d e f i n i t e and we l l out­side the l i m i t s o f experimental e r ro r . Quite a b i t of head-scratching went on u n t i l someone l i gh t ed on the answer. You probably a l l know that the speed of l i g h t i n a vacuum, or i n space, is 186,000 miles per second. In a i r i t is very s l i g h t l y less than t h i s , and i n water considerably less. In fac t i t s speed depends on the density of" the mater ia l through which i t passes.

Now at Waitaki i t was found that at n ight - t ime a mass o f cold dense a i r descended in to the v a l l e y , only to diss ipate wi th the heat o f the S\MI next day. Consequently the e lec t ron ic impulse at n ight took longer to do i t s return journey, and the instrument o b l i g i n g l y gave a higher reading.

Now we know be t t e r . We measure the a i r temperatures en route . But there is sure to be some other l i t t l e green man l u r k i n g around the corner, ready to dole out the next problem!

" A l l r i g h t " you may we l l say "but what has t h i s got to do wi th the environment?" Before I answer that question, l e t me t e l l you another t rue story from my t r ave l d i a ry .

In 1956, when in Los Angeles, C a l i f o r n i a , I v i s i t e d a construct ion project where the highway department was p u t t i n g in a $220 m i l l i o n interchange complex between two freeways - a b i t l i k e the spaghetti bowl i n Newton Gul ly ; Some years l a t e r I was back i n C a l i f o r n i a and I asked the same engineer how the job worked out . His reply was a c lass ic : "Well Bob, you r eca l l that spot of t r a f f i c congestion we ran in to that day i n Downtown L.A. at 17th and M ? why, since we put i n that interchange, that congestion has gone. In f a c t , i t has moved on down t o 23rd and Q: I t looks as though the operational was successful but the pat ient d i e d . "

What does th i s imply? Does i t mean that Americans dr ive too many motor­cars or that c i v i l engineers are a bunch o f "nongs"? I won't argue t h a t , but what i t does mean i s that notwithstanding the advanced state o f the a r t , technology s t i l l remains a step or two behind the needs o f socie ty . We solve problems, only to produce others . This is how i t i s wi th the environment. The Los Angeles t r a f f i c interchange is an example o f the continual inf luence o f the dynamics o f technology. Nothing i s ever r e a l l y t o t a l l y solved, and the hallmark of su rv iva l of both p r i m i t i v e and sophist icated socie t ies i s the need to go on s t ruggl ing and to chart unknown t e r r i t o r y .

Wc are learning too that many problems of our environment arise not only from scant disregard of our ob l iga t i ons , but also from the most a l t r u i s t i c of motives, backed up wi th the best and la tes t o f s c i e n t i f i c -resources .

When you come to look at t h ings , t h i s is the way mankind has operated fo r thousands o f years. Man has s t r i ven to improve his l o t , to solve problems, only to produce f u r t h e r problems in t u r n , yet a l l the time moving forward i n h is c u l t u r a l and social development.

Now we have an addi t iona l fac tor - a greater degree o f public awareness about our environment. No longer are people prepared to accept without question the product of the technologis t s ' s k i l l s and labour. This i s c e r t a in ly how i t should be, and those o f us who are engaged i n publ ic works and development must accept t h i s as a f ac t o f l i f e .

But there i s another side to t h i s question. Public c r i t i c i s m must be more than simply the s t r i den t voices o f protest groups and doomsday prophets. What the technologists are e n t i t l e d to expect is properly reasoned, soundly-based, unse l f i sh c r i t i c i s m . This doesn't always happen, and there are occasions where works o f nat ional importance have been prejudiced by pressure groups wi th l i m i t e d ob jec t ives .

Now where do you f i t i n t o t h i s environmental scene?

You are about to move in to a society which i s s t rugg l ing wi th many c o n f l i c t i n g pressures. I t w i l l not always be easy to gain a f u l l under­standing of the issues involved. Yet i n my opin ion , two facts stand out c l e a r l y .

r i r s t , technology must not stand s t i l l , there are times when you w i l l be discouraged by f a i l u r e s or by c r i t i c i s m . These are not the times to opt out of the system and sigh f o r the horse and buggy days. 'Ihese are the times f o r challenge, inventiveness and superb technical e f f o r t . History has shown again and again that the b ig break-throughs i n s c i e n t i f i c endeavour have happened when things have been the blackest , lhe very technology which has produced our environmental problems is capable o f solving them, and i t ' s up to you to see that i t does.

Second, i f you are on the other side o f the fence, don't be too eas i ly s a t i s f i e d wi th what the technologist has to o f f e r . Remember that in the long run tiie standard which technology achieves w i l l be the standard that society demands o f i t . In other words, as a c l i e n t you w i l l get exactly what you deserve, nei ther more, nor less. Many o f the poorer features o f our environment have resulted from the f a c t that nobody has cared or because any c r i t i c i s m o f f e r ed was uninformed and thus unhe lp fu l .

So there i t i s .

We must go on building things, growing things and fetching and carrying things. And i t is soon going to be your job to do t h i s wisely and with proper regard to our environment. Your parents and rrandparents worked hard and solved many problems - problems of poverty, disease, lack of communications, lack of shelter or comfort. Now these are largely-solved, they have been replaced by problems of the environment, and these are being handed down to you.

How w i l l you cope with these?

Your success w i l l depend on your own personal attitudes and involvement. You w i l l hardly be e f f e c t i v e i n applying the best of s k i l l s to environmental care i f you l i t t e r the streets with paper, or the beaches and picnic grounds with broken glass. But i f you are sensitive and are aware of the response of the environment to everything you do, then h a l f the b a t t l e is won. Technology w i l l catch up with the rest. And so my message to you, is simply t h i s - anything which science and technology can achieve w i l l come to naught, unless you yourselves show two basic q u a l i t i e s - s e n s i t i v i t y , and humility - s e n s i t i v i t y , because in the long run, i t i s the l i t t l e things that count - h u m i l i t y , because i n influencing the environment, you are dealing with someone else's garden, not your own.

To those of you who w i l l be returning next year, may I say: Be proud of your college, but, more important, put something i n t o your college of which you can be proud.

To those of you who are leaving to t r a v e l hopefully with the rest of society, l e t me pass on to you the words t r a d i t i o n a l l y spoken by the Maori Chieftans of old when they handed down to t h e i r successors t h e i r robes of o f f i c e : -

Be Strong, Be Brave, Be Steadfast. Kia Kaha, Kia Toa, Kia Manawanui.

Good luck - New Zealand i s waiting f o r you, and now, i t i s to be -your t u r n .

P.T.A. REPORT

The P.T.A., under the chairmanship of Mr P h i l l i p s , has had another very successful year. The b e a u t i f i c a t i o n programme has almost been completed under the d i r e c t i o n of Mr P h i l l i p s . Shelter walls/seating and terrace seating, have, with the help of members and senior students, been completed. The Report Evenings and Careers Evening have continued with increasing i n t e r e s t .

This year a Wine and Cheese Evening was held, to further parent/teacher r e l a t i o n s . An Open Night was held to give parents a chance to see the new Art Block and plans, submitted by Architectural Students from the University of Auckland, f o r the proposed Student Community Centre to be b u i l t at the School.

STUDENT COUNCIL 1973 The Student Council has, I t h i n k , had i t s best year i n 1973. This can be a t r i b u t e d to the f a c t tha t i t knew where i t s place was and what i t s func t ions were, 'lhe two-body, Prefect-Student Counc i l , system operat ing i n the school worked extremely w e l l and was ass is ted immensily by the character o f person i n both bodies and s t rong t i e s amongst executive members and p r e f e c t s .

As I mentioned l a s t year the Student Council needed t o widen i t s sphere o f i n f luence and take on an organis ing and running ro l e r a the r than one o f ac tua l change. This i t has done and throughout the year t h e i r have been man/ examples o f func t ions organised and run by the c o u n c i l . The most obvious ones are the swimming spor t s , motor week, c u l t u r e week, var ious pop groups f o r lunch t ime enter ta inment , various bus t r i p s away support ing s p o r t i n g func t ions and o f course the usual dances. These have I th ink been genuinely favourably accepted and i n many casses o f f e r themselves f o r expansion and p la t fo rms on which new and b e t t e r forms of school a c t i v i t i e s can be b u i l t next year.

There were several h i g h l i g h t s throughout, the year and the Student Council Conference f o r a l l Auckland Schools organised by Westlake and he ld during the August ho l idays was perhaps the most impor tan t . The number o f schools represented and the number o f delegates present was d i sappoin t ing but. i t d id make qu i t e a few suggestions on a v a r i e t y

of subjects which went to the Minister of Education. I t has been planned that a similar conference and possibly more frequently held social functions be organised fo r 1974. Westlake has volunteered to organise the conference for 1974. Highlight of a more general nature has been the very successful and often controversial cul tural assembly speakers who have included Sir Dove Myer Robinson, debate on the Springbok issue and speakers from the Gay Liberation Front.

Several long-term aims have been reached or furthered this year. During the l a t t e r part of the year David Rankin and myself have been attending B.O.G. meetings and the B.O.G. have agreed to having observes from the councils of both the Boys and Girls schools attend meetings s tar t ing from the beginning of 1974. The B.O.G. has also agreed to allow the council to open i t s own bank account which i t w i l l do in 1974 with money earned from lunchtime entertainment and Motor week to ta l ing $150. Perhaps most pleasing is the progress made on the building of a student complex with the establishing of a committee comprising two council members, two B.L.A. and two B.O.G. representatives and the Headmaster. This committee has already discussed, informally, the matter with Education Department o f f i ce r s and have been lucky enough to have senior architectural students produce the i r impressions of what the complex could look l ike .

RUGBY FOREWARD 1973

This year nine teams represented the school in regular Saturday competition. This was one team less than last year, but i t s t i l l meant over one hundred and seventy boys playing in Saturday games.

Unfortunately no major grade championship wins came our way, but at the same time the 3A, 3B and 1st XV teams were right in the top bracket in the i r grades.

In the grade teams attendance of practices l e f t much to be desired. When players realize that games are won and lost on the training f i e l d and turn out to a l l practices better results w i l l soon be achieved.

I t was good to see a senior boy coaching our 6A side. Martin Cummings with assistant John Henderson did a great job.

The school's thanks go to a l l coaches, parents, players and supporters fo r making 1973 a good rugby season.

THE FIRST FIFTEEN This year's 1st XV was more successful than many people thought i t would be, mainly because of the excellent team s p i r i t which developed during the season. After losing to Mt. Albert and to St. Kentigerns in the f i r s t two competition games the team pulled i t s e l f together and won the next four in a row,and in doing so defeated Kings for the f i r s t time. However in the next three games wc became a l i t t l e over­confident, and as a result suffered two losses and a draw, the Latter against the bottom placed team - Rutherford. Then fo r the last two competition games the team produced i t s best rugby of the season; beating two of the hardest teams in the competition; Auckland Grammar (which was probably the highlight of the season) and last year's winners St. Pauls. The performance of the team was a l l the more creditable as i t was one of the youngest XV's that Westlake has f ielded, including many f i f t h formers - with only Geoff Ball and Chris Hunt returning from last year's XV. However most of the credit must go to our coach, Mr. Butt, whose enthusiasm and willingness lo help the players, especially the more inexperienced members, guided the team to many sat isfying wins through the season.

The f i n a l record of 16 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw and above a l l our placing of fourth in the competition (one point o f f second place) gives a good indication both of Mr. Butt 's a b i l i t y as a coach and o f the team's s p i r i t . This surely must have been one of the most enjoyable seasons on record.

W.B.H.S. PRACTICE MATCHES The f i r s t XV played five pre-season games. In i t s performance the team did not come up to expectations but showed promise and above a l l s p i r i t . The games played were against Rangitoto - won 16-8 (school scores f i r s t ) , Rosmini - won 25-4, Penrose - won 33-13, Northcote - won 62-0, Glenfield - won 13-3 and later on in the season against Takapuna 3rd Grade a good game which we lost 9-16. These served as good build­ups for our later matches.

WESTLAKE V. TAKAPUNA GRAWAR This season wi th only 2 members of the previous year 's 1st XV back, we though we might be in fo r a tough time against Takapuna Grammar who had 9 members back . This annual blood match turned out to be a t h r i l l e r wi th Westlake j u s t managing to hold on to a slender 16-13 lead when the f u l l - t i m e whis t le blew.

The weather was f i n e and hot as the two teams ran onto the f i e l d . Most Westlake supporters were a l i t t l e apprehensive wi th the XV's unt r ied and unproved combination. However, t he i r fears appeared to be unfounded as f i r s t Neil St. Cla i r , then Bret t Garea scored t r i e s in the f i r s t h a l f . Richard Falwasser converted one and with Takapuna scoring only a penalty the h a l f time score was 10-3.

Soon a f t e r the s tar t of the second h a l f , Richard falwasser ran the b l i n d side close to Grammar's l i ne and wi th a d e f t dummy crashed across to score i n a handy pos i t ion f o r the conversion attempt. He converted wi th l i t t l e t rouble to make the score 16-3. I t was at t h i s point that the t rouble s tar ted f o r Westlake. The team started to get loose, wi th forwards lacking u n i f i c a t i o n in rucks and singleness o f purpose i n the loose. The backs t ack l ing too became shabby. This allowed Grammar to display i t s f i g h t i n g a b i l i t y and wi th two t r i e s and a conversion cume back to only 13-16 down. The play f luc tua ted from end to end wi th both teams defending s t o u t l y . However when the f u l l time whis t le blew the score was s t i l l 16-13. Overall Westlake had the edge over Takapuna Grammar and the combination used in t h i s game proved to be good basis fo r what was probably Westlakes most successful ever 1st XV.

WESTLAKE V MT. ALBERT GRAMMAR

This was our f i r s t competition match and i t was played in perfect Rugby weather. Although Westlake lost t h i s game i t should be mentioned that the team played outstanding Rugby, wi th special credi t to the team's f i n e defence during the second h a l f .

Westlake kicked o f f and immediately went on the at tack. But i t was Mt. Albert who drew Fi rs t blood with a f i n e backline t r y , which was converted. From the r e s t a r t Westlake again attacked and was f i n a l l y rewarded w i t h a penalty. For the next 5 minutes the game see-sawed up and down the f i e l d wi th both teams narrowly missing scoring oppor tun i t ies . With 10 minutes t i l l h a l f time Falwasser kicked another penal ty. Our lead was s h o r t l i v e d , f o r from the kick o f f Mt. Albert scored t h e i r second unconverted t r y . I t was almost h a l f time when f lanker B. Purvis running from a ruck i n f ron t o f Mt. A l be r t ' s posts placed a p e r f e c t l y time grubber kick over t he i r l i n e , which C. Hunt pounced on to score. With the conversion Westlake led 12-8 at h a l f t ime. The only bad point o f the match was the loss o f Steven McCulloch, our f u l l b a c k , who was dropped by a head-high tackle and had to r e t i r e in a semi-conscious s ta te .

The second h a l f was a l l Mt. A l b e r t ' s . They played wi th f i r e in the forwards and speed in the backs. Mt. Albert ran in to two more t r i e s (both unconverted) plus a penalty in the second h a l f but i t was only Westlakes great defence that kept the score at a decent l e v e l . Late i n the game Westlake threw away a couple of scoring opportuni t ies by e l ec t ing to kick from penal t ies instead of running i t . The game ended with Westlake k i c k i n g a penalty, ending the game 23-15. Scorers: C. Hunt, t r y . Falwasser, 1 conversion, 3 penal t ies .

WESTLAKE V ST. KENTIGERNS (At Westlake)

A strong breeze was blowing from the south fo r the second competition game of the season and Westlake elected to play wi th the condi t ions . The home side played we l l during the f i r s t h a l f wi th Chris Hunt scoring a nm aw ay t r y which covered h a l f of tho f i e l d and was converted by Richard Falwasser. The score was 6-0 when the whis t le blew f o r h a l f time. But i n the second h a l f , wi th the wind behind them, St. Kents. attacked wi th more purpose. Westlake had t rouble containing t h e i r inside backs and eventual ly they sl ipped through to score two t r i e s . The s ta r of the match was Captain Geoff Ball and the f i n a l score was 8-6 to St. Kentigerns.

WESTLAKE V WHANGAREI BOYS HIGH SCHOOL (At Whangarei)

This year's annua! match against Whangarei Boys was played on Rugby Park, Whangarei in very hot and t i r i n g condi t ions . In the f i r s t stages of the match the run o f play was f a i r l y even wi th both sides making good breaks. Towards the end o f the f i r s t h a l f Westlake began to dominate the play. The f i r s t points came when Fn Wik i r iwhi picked up a loose b a l l near the l i ne and dived over fo r a t r y . Richard Falwasser converted the t r y . Soon a f t e r Whangarei r e t a l i a t e d wi th a t ry y making the h a l f - t i m e score 6-4 i n our favour. From the s t a r t o f the second h a l f Westlake again applied the pressure. From a scrum about f i v e yards out from the Whangarei t r y l i n e , Michael Stanley picked up the b a l l and dived over f o r a ce r t a in t r y . But unfor tunate ly the Referee did not see i t and i t was consequently not awarded. Whangarei led fo r the f i r s t time when they scored another unconverted t r y . Westlake now t r a i l i n g 6-8 began to put everything i n t o t h e i r game. Richard Falwasser who was playing a great game banged over 2 pena l t i es , both from d i f f i c u l t angles. At f u l l - t i m e Westlake came out winners by 12 points t o 8. ' '

WESTLAKE V HATO PETERA (At Westlake)

The paddock was f i r m and tho weather good when Westlake and Hato Petera ran onto the f i e l d . The home s ide , p laying on t u r f well known to them, and spurred on by good spectator support, f e l t confident o f success. Hato Petera would have no chance of c l inch ing a cer ta in v i c t o r y from them the Westlake side thought. However the v i s i t o r s had excellent morale and a team s p i r i t that would carry them in to a game where i t would be tested against the powerful Westlake opponents. A stalemate ensued f o r much of the game both sides suppressing attempts to charge f o r the l i n e . When Hate Petera d id make a break, the players wi th the b a l l lacked the support they so deservedly needed. Westlake had a chance at las t won the b a l l was charged down by Chris Hunt on halfway. Retr ieving i t he hurled himself through the shattered defense to the goal l i n e t o score the only t r y of the match. Both sides kicked two penalty goals o f which Falwasser kicked both f o r Westlake enabling Westlake to come out on top 10-6.

WESTLAKE V OLD BOYS The annual Old Boys match played during Queen's Birthday Weekend was fought i n a f i n e s p i r i t . The Old boys eventually came out on top with an intercept t r y towards the end o f the match. They deserved to win as they scored 4 t r i e s to the schools 1. The f i n a l score was 13-16. j . Scorers: G. B a l l , Penaltry, Try, C. Hunt, 3 penal t ies .

WESTLAKE V KINGS (At Westlake) This was the f i r s t wet game of the season and the school XV played w c l l -con t ro l l ed wet-weather Rugby to beat King's College 15-10 i n a ha rd-fought game. While the b a l l was dry both teams t r i e d to spin i t but on the wet f i e l d the l i g h t e r but determined Westlake pack dominated the forward b a t t l e . 'Ihe h a l f - t i m e score was 6-3 wi th Westlake's points coining from Richard Falwasser. Attacking we l l i n the second h a l f , Westlake were s t i l l w i l l i n g to run the b a l l , even on defence. S. McCullough proved t h i s by running from inside the school 25 to pass on to M. Lonie, who ran wel l to put G. Bal l in under the posts. The t r y was converted by R. Falwasser, taking the score to 9-6. Westlake I'orwards pushed the King's opposit ion back i n both t i g h t and loose scrums, winning most possession of the b a l l . The f i n a l points fo r Westlake came from a t r y by M. Stanley who forced the b a l l a f t e r Kings was pushed over the l i n e from a scrum 10 yards out . Kings fought back we l l to score a t r y i n the corner, taking the f i n a l score to 13-10. Special mention must go to S. McCullough who f i e l d e d the wet b a l l b r i l l i a n t l y , and whose performance throughout the rest o f the season was excel lent on both attack and defence. The team was more than pleased with the win as i t was the f i r s t time a Westlake side had beaten a King's team.

WESTLAKE V SACRED HEART

The 1st XV gained i t s 3rd win i n a row wi th a 14-9 v i c t o r y over S.H.C. A large band of supporters was on hand to see a well-deserved win. Though conceding three early po in t s , the f i r s t h a l f was dominated by Westlake, w i t h both forwards and backs combining well to run up 11 po in t s . A good supply o f b a l l from the forwards was put to great e f f e c t by the backs, who made very few mistakes and were always dangerous. Set o f f by accurate service from M. Nichols - who played his best game of the season - the backs applied the pressure wi th S. Rae making many determined and dangerous runs. Sacred Heart r a l l i e d we l l i n the second h a l f and probably had the best o f t h i s h a l f . At tack, counter-attack and good defence by both sides characterised play, wi th the only points scored coming from a Westlake penaltv. TV>O player o f the day was'undoubtedly Geoff B a l l , who had an outstanding game. Stephen Rae •niu Austin Harris scored t r i e s , while R. Falwasser and C. Hunt kicked pena l t ies . Sacred Heart scored a converted t r y and a penalty,

WESTLAKE V OTAHUHU

A f t e r being up 10-r. i l at h a l f t ime, wi th t r i e s scored by M. Lonie and a conversion by R. Falwasser, a strongly-combined Otahuhu side found holes i n Westlake's defence, and t h e i r big winger Saseve was put over f o r 2 t r i e s . Soon a f t e r 4 more points was added to Otahuhu's score and Westlake found themselves down 12-10. With only minutes remaining Westlake turned from defence to a t tack, wi th two determined breaks led by R. Falwasser. The second of these ended in a penalty i n our favour , and n a i l - b i t i n g supporters were re l ieved by the decisive r i g h t boot of R. Falwasser.

WESTLAKE V KELSTON BOYS HIGH SCHOOL (At Kelston)

In a match marred by the conditions Kelston Boys ran out the v i c to r s by 16-11. In the f i r s t h a l f when the conditions were near per fec t Westlake played some o f i t s best Rugby of the season to be up 11-0 at h a l f t ime. Michael Stanley scored a good pushover t r y and M. Nicols an ear ly t r y a f t e r a b r i l l i a n t passing movement up the f i e l d where

most of the members o f the team handled. Richard Falwasser also kicked a penal ty. In the second h a l f i t was a d i f f e r e n t s to ry . A strong wind came up very unexpectedly wi th Westlake p lay ing i n t o i t . Kelston l i f t e d i t s game considerably and Westlake found i t s e l f defending fo r the f i r s t t ime. A lucky 50 yard drop-kick by Kelston's half-back enabled them to get back in to the game. Westlake's game dropped rap id ly and the score changed t i l l the f i n a l whis t le where Kelston won by 16-11. Pick o f the Westlake forwards was Geoff Bal l and Steven McCulloch played his usual f i r s t - c l a s s game at f u l l b a c k . Scorers: M. Stanley, M. N ico l s , t r i e s ; Falwasser penalty.

WESTLAKE V THE REST

This match always turns out to be a hard-fought encounter and t h i s year was no exception. A possible reason f o r th i s was the vying f o r some 1st XV posi t ions by opposite numbers i n each team. The Rest made up of teachers and pupils put up a s p i r i t e d display against the XV eventually going down 11-3.

WESTLAKE V RUTHERFORD (At Rutherford)

Played on hard t u r f i n ideal conditions Westlake was lucky to draw wi th the low-rated Rutherford XV. Through lack of determination and respect fo r the opposing XV, Rutherford were able to run Westlake in to basic mistakes. Maybe the School Bal l was s t i l l imprinted on the player 's minds but nevertheless there was no excuse f o r the way the team performed. Rutherford played wi th the utmost dedicat ion and cap i ta l i sed on a bad pass to score t h e i r only t r y . The ha l f t ime score was 0-4. The second h a l f produced no be t t e r r e s u l t s . Westlake subsided under pressure and the Rutherford backs were qui te dangerous at times. Westlake soon got the message and was saved by a last-minute t r y by Chris Hunt making the f i n a l score 4-4.

WESTLAKE V ST. PETERS COLLEGE (At Westlake)

St. Peters,having j u s t been promoted from the B Grade t h i s season, were determined to make t h e i r promotion warranted. The two forward packs were evenly matched and i t was only the determined k i c k i n g by St. Peters in the second h a l f that gave them the good to put up the necessary points which gave them a 17-6 v i c t o r y . For Westlake S. McCulloch kicked 2 pena l t ies . I f we had played wi th the conditions in the 1st h a l f i t would possibly have been a d i f f e r e n t r e s u l t .

WESTLAKE V FAIRFIELD (At Fa i rF ie ld )

A f t e r a long and tedious bus journey the Westlake XV had an uncertain beginning, p lay ing 10-man Rugby i n which tightheads were l o s t , l ineout b a l l was fumbled and rucking was poorly executed. In the b-ickline what b a l l was secured by the forwards was poorly u t i l i s e d and kicks were misjudged. I t was during t h i s period that F a i r f i e l d played t h e i r best Rugby, but misdirected passes and sheer bad luck stopped them from scoring i n the f i r s t h a l f .

In the second h a l f a f t e r a hard team t a l k from Mr Butt the team began to play Rugby as they were t r a ined t o , scrummaging improved, l i n e out b a l l was con t ro l l ed and contested fo r , and rucking began to produce r e s u l t s . The backline was rearranged and wi th cr isper passing and harder running oppor tuni t ies f o r scoring were on. The game ended w e l l f o r Westlake wi th a 17 point lead which although not t o t a l l y deserved was s a t i s f y i n g . Final Score 20-3.

WESTLAKE V AUCKLAND GRAMMAR (At Westlake)

On a f ine day and s o f t turn Westlake and Auckland Grammar ran onto the f i e l d in what was to be a hard-fought match. Wc knew we would have to at least hold them i n the forwards and ce r t a in ly t r y to contain t h e i r backs. A f t e r a few minutes of the game we could see tha t our forwards had the s l i g h t edge over thier . pack, and therefore we had to keep the pressure on. Approximately ten minutes in to the f i r s t h a l f we suf fe red a loss when Austin Har r i s , our r igh t f l anke r , had to leave the f i e l d wi ' a broken r i gh t arm r e su l t i ng from a ruck. However, wi th our forwards s t i l l shading t h e i r s , wi th the sure t a c k l i n g by our backs, and loose forwards quick to the b a l l , we managed to contain both t h e i r backs and forwards. This was the general run o f play throughout the whole match. B. Purvis scored a good f l anker ' s t r y and C. Hunt kicked two pena l t i es , to a converted t r y by Grammar. The f i n a l score was 10-6 to Westlake, one which was deservedly won and which everyone enjoyed as one o f the most memorable matches o f the season.

WESTLAKE V ST. PAULS Westlake took the f i e l d against St. Pauls determined to win t h e i r last championship game. The weather was harsh and both teams were anxious to s t a r t . St . Pauls attacked f i r s t , t h e i r backline almost scoring on a number o f occasions, u n t i l about 10 minutes from the s t a r t when Westlake s tar ted to come together, the forwards combining wel l to give the backs some b a l l . About halfway through the f i r s t h a l f Chris Hunt was successful wi th a d i f f i c u l t penalty goal . Prom that po in t u n t i l j u s t before h a l f t i m e the game was very even, but St. Pauls managed to score an unconverted t r y to give then the lead at h a l f t i m e . In the second h a l f Westlake star ted to take cont ro l o f the game, w i t h the forwards winning some good b a l l . I t wasn't long before Chris Hunt was successful wi th another penalty goal to make the score 6-4 to Westlake. Mid-way through the second h a l f Westlake scored again when Geoff B a l l broke from a ruck on St. Pauls 25 yard l i n e , passed to Bret t Garea who was i n pos i t ion to crash over f o r a t r y , which was unconverted. Now i t was St. Pauls t u rn and before long they scored an unconverted t r y which made the score only 10-8 i n Westlake's favour. With both teams cont inuing to attack i t was only b r i l l i a n t covering by Murray Lonie that stopped St. Pauls from scoring in the corner on one occasion. Five minutes from the end Richard Falwasser had t o leave the f i e l d wi th a leg i n j u r y , lie was replaced by Fred Schaumkel. By the time the f i n a l wh i s t l e wnet Westlake was s t a r t i n g to get on top again. A happy but sore Westlake Team l e f t the f i e l d , the only player not smi l ing being Murray Lonie, who had mi ld concussion. However, the biggest smile was on the face o f Mr. But t . The team was very proud to get th i s win f o r him and to f i n i s h the championship on a very- high note.

WESTLAKE V SHIRLEY BOY'S HIGH

The f i n a l game of the season was played against our t r a d i t i o n a l r i v a l Shir ley Boy's High i n atrocious conditions brought on by several days of r a i n . The team took the f i e l d minus G. B a l l , glandular fever , D. Abercrombie, f l u , and with Roy Stewart, and Austin Harris s t i l l on the i n j u r e d l i s t . The team was not at f u l l strength but nevertheless Rory Thomson and Ian McLaren proved ideal subst i tutes and i t was only the conditions which prevented us from gaining a much higher score. The play see-sawed throughout the f i r s t h a l f , but in the second h a l f we gained a d i s t i n c t t e r r i t o r i a l advantage because the forwards were on much bet ter form and combining v e i l wi th the backs. Chris Hunt scored near the corner, and fiom then on the team cont inua l ly improved i t s performance, enlightened by s c i n t i l a t i n g breaks by R. Falwasser supported by the forwards. Sh i r l ey ' s goal l i n e was wel l pressured and t h e i r defence became desperate Several t r i e s by Westlake were disallowed and the f i n a l score remained at 7-0.

THE SECOND FIFTEEN

Though less successful than expected the team maintained a good s p i r i t and o f t en played excellent rugby. Capable of beating most teams, defeat usually came from the i n a b i l i t y to sustain a determined e f f o r t f o r the f u l l game. Too many gentlemen and too l i t t l e guts in tack les , rucks and running. I t remains as always a tough proving ground f o r fu tu re 1st XV and club players . Players o f p a r t i c u l a r merit and promise: ' B a r r e l ' St . C l a i r , Nigel O'Brien, Fred Schaumkel, Bruce Stevenson, and o f course the co-captains Dave Wallace and Ian Hamilton. Coachs' thanks to a l l these who played now and then and those who kept t r y i n g i n spi te o f losses, practices and the coach.

3A compiled an impressive record, i n 1973. By f i n i s h i n g runners up in i t s competition the team at least equalled the performance o f any other A grade team of the school. John (George) Duncan captained the team from breakaway. Sean Cavan kicked goals mostly from i n f r o n t i n the 36-4 win over Oats. Arron Heath, the dear, scored i n a move from W.B.H.S. 25 i n the 10-0 win over Kelston.

Greg (Loosehead Lcn) Payne learnt some goegraphy in 73, more about rugby. and qui te a lo t about keeping mice in cars. In the 0-6 St. Pauls game G.P. kicked an important penalty. Lesl ie S i r l scored in, the 4-3 home win over Kings. Kings won the competition and th i s was t h e i r only loss. Mark Hickford at f i r s t - f i v e was safe and r e l i a b l e in t h i s game, as he was throughout the season. Sacred Heart was the relapse game and a scrambled 12-7 win thanks to Michacl Mi 1 I s . .Andrew ( I want to get U.E.)

MAGS were beaten 9-8 David Wright here showing his continual improvement by varying the play well from hal fback. Ian McLaren and John Williams were good value at lock and l ineout and t i g h t p lay. Nigel Edmiston spent much of pract ice time r e c l i n i n g on the t u r f . Stephen Ander came in as a replacement and showed much promise as f u l l ­back . Ian Abercombie and Rory Thomson gave honest performances, but needed those bandages. Thanks to the Mums and Dads as we l l as to the F i r s t F i f t een f o r t h e i r encouraging support, vocal and mobile.

3C P.UGBY We had a very shaky s t a r t due to a large surplus of players a f t e r the 3D team was abandoned. Although we were not outstandingly successful, the team, towards the end of the season began to mould i t s e l f i n t o a co-ordinated XV. We can a t t r i b u t e t h i s fact to our coach, Mike Calder and the fathers who gave the team support which undoubtedly made us play better. Top t r y scorer for the season was Ian Webster and our kicks were taken by Ian Burt and Keith Schmidt. A l l players would agree, I th i n k , that the r e l a t i v e l y good weather and the high team morale made i t a very enjoyable season. Thanks again to coach and players.

K. White : 6 t r i e s - 24 points. 4A had an "average" year as the records suggests with some good wins and some disastrous losses. The team was well led by Duncan MacLeod who always led by example, with good running with the b a l l , t a c k l i n g and covering. The backs' col l e c t i o n of moves was capably organised by

Peter Clark. The team's forwards excelled i n scrummaging, d r i v i n g with the b a l l and backing up. Sadly the backs lacked any real b r i l l i a n c e , with only Sumeo showing any attacking f l a i r , although Morris, Dowel 1 and Pcttigrew did have t h e i r moments on attack. I t was t h i s rather inadequate backline and l i t t l e sharing of the b a l l from lineouts combined with poor t a c k l i n g which cost, the team dearly against bigger and more ski led teams. One pleasing aspect was the age of the players, with three 3rd formers and two 4th formers and everyone showed great p o t e n t i a l . I wish a l l the players the best for t h e i r future rugby playing.

5A RUGBY Although resul t -wise the season wasn't the best the team's s p i r i t s were high and members were always ready fo r a joke. The team had a few good games, especial ly the games we won e.g. Kelston. Two of our most dedicated players were G. Dohson and I . Frew who always t r i e d t h e i r best to b r ing the team through i t s t r y i n g moments. I can't mention a l l our dedicated p layer ' s as there were so many. I would l i k e to thank our coach Mr. Johnson fo r his enthusiasm, i n s t r u c t i o n and tolerance f o r a "something to be desired" team, and I would also l i k e to thank parents f o r t h e i r t ransport and encouragement.

6A had an unsettled beginning witn Easter disrupting competition preparation and the draw matched us against the experienced teams f i r s t . Having lost heavily m our f i r s t game against A.G.S. wc s t i l l made a reasonable showing against Kelston. Although we l o s t against Takapuna Grammar I think i t was our best performance w i t h good s p i r i t e d and positive play taking place. After t h i s game we had two good wins and a loss, then we finished the season memorably with four wins. Players to excel were Kevin Moyle at halfback, who

played outs tanding rugby throughout the season. Steven Davies played w e l l at f i r s t f i v e - e i g t h s and Graeme Lynch played t rue No. S rugby, cover ing and a t t a c k i n g throughout the season. I would l i k e t o congra tu la te Graeme f o r h i s admirable leadership and his s e l e c t i o n f o r the Auckland 11th grade team. In conclusion I would l i k e t o thank parents f o r t h e i r support and the t r anspor t they suppl ied and f o r making t h i s year as memorable to John Henderson and myself as i t was to the p l aye r s .

TENNIS The Senior "A" Tennis team have had a very good season, winning a l l of t h e i r rounds i n the Senior compet i t ion . The Senior "B", however, haven' t been q u i t e so s u c c e s s f u l , bu t nevertheless have shown good team s p i r i t and t e n a c i t y .

REPORT ON S'-'K'MIN'G SPORTS 1973 In the Tirst term of 1973, the annual Swimming Sports were held at Northcote College. For the f i r s t time in the meetings h i s t o r y , the organisation of events and judging, as well as p r i n t i n g of programmes was given to the Student Council, under the di r e c t control of the Executive. This in i t s e l f was a real test of e f f i c i e n c y , as the programme included 50 to 60 odd events and several hundred competitors. However, the Council did very well and competently organised the p r i o r arrangements, including the provision of charter buses. Another pleasing factor was the cooperation between Council, S t a f f and Prefects, in the actual running and control of the meeting. Most of the prefects helped by f i l l i n g roles as judges or time keepers and also special thanks should be paid to others who lent a hand as organisers.

The day saw the completion of a l l the events, which in some senses was somewhat of a miracle. I think i t would be f a i r to say, judging the pupils reactions, that a good day was had by a l l . Despite problems that arose afterwards, the organisation on the day was well handled by a l l concerned, especially Grant Forsyth and David Rankin. As usual, a f t e r the meeting a school representative swimming team was selected and special congratulations should he extended to S. Molving, who won several t i t l e s during the Sports and was also chosen to represent the school.

In the North Shore Inter-School Sports Westlake performed well to come second to Northcote with Wayne Hutchinson and Stein Molving putting i n some good performances. This year there was a t i e for Junior Champion - D. Voyce and N. Molving. In the Intermediate section S. Molving was a clear winner with 3 f i r s t , 2 seconds and t h i r d . In the Senior section G. Lyons was Senior Champ.

YACHTING Once again keen crews were able to train in Wednesday afternoon sport periods. The school again put on a good showing at the Inter-Secondary School Championships. These races were sponsored by the Wakatere Boating Club in Sunburst dinghies. Adrian Hanier and Rex Lamb were close to retaining their previous year's supremacy this year as runners up.

SQUASH The Westlake Squash group continued to play on Wednesday afternoons thanks to the North Shore Squash Club who allowed us the use of t h e i r courts at t h i s time. Several new players have begun to play and the more experienced squash players completed with success i n the Auckland Secondary Schools Squash Tournament during the August Holidays. A team consisting of C. Blackwood, C. Beere, R. Higham, N. Nicholls, G. Stewart won the Plate round of the Boys team event.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS 1973

The School Athletic meeting was run over two days, one day being used for heats and the other for finals, to the pleasure of our athletes. Both days were fine and some extremely good results were recorded, the most outstanding athlete of the day being Paul Baker, our top senior. The Tug-O-War once again proved very popular and some close bouts were re co rde d.

ZONAL .MEETING This year we competed in the Central Zone with the top Auckland colleges. Although our athlets tried they were unable to upset the more experienced club runners from these schools and unfortunately were in most events unplaced. On the completion of this meeting only one Westlake runner went forward to the Champion of Champions at Mt. Smart. This was our Junior 800 m.m. runner John Mclntyre who was lucky,in a photo finish, to be placed.

FIRSTXI SOCCER For the second successive year (Vestlake fielded the top Soccer team in Auckland. Indeed, the only defeat a l l year was to A.G.S. after the Senior "A" Championship had been decided. The outstanding player of the vear was the Captain Lindsay Jones, His leadership on and off the f ie ld was of the highest possible standard, and he takes with him everyone"^ best wishes in his future Soccer career. The strength of the team layin the very sol id defence of Wayne Hutchinson, Andrew Walker, Tony Duff and Jeff Robinson in goal. Neil Mandell, John Day and Peter Hos worked with Lindsay Jones in mid-field to provide plenty of penetrating passes to the forwards, who made good use of them.

Shortly a f t e r the s tar t o!" the season two forwards l e f t and i t was necessary to convert Ken Wigglesworth from an extremely s o l i d l e f t -back t o a s t r i k e r . His enormous goal t a l l y speaks f o r i t s e l f . Aided by John McFetridge, Garth S u t c l i f f e , Michael Freeman and John Wigglesworth and forwards proved too fas t and s k i l l f u l f o r almost a l l the defences they met.

With s i x players back next year, and wi th the strength o f Soccer i n the lower grades, the school can look forward to another good season next year.

WESTLAKE V K.B.H.S. - JUNE 30th AT WESTLAKE A f t e r receiving a f r i g h t in the 1st round against Kels ton, Westlake took t h i s game i n a very serious mood and by h a l f time t h i s proved to be correct i n that the score was 6-0 to Westlake. Westlake dominated a l l facets o f play especial ly in m i d f i e l d where L. Jones and N. Mardell excelled themselves. Westlake's key s t r i k e r K. Wigglesworth was allowed plenty of room to move, thus r e su l t ing in four goals to his c red i t out o f the six scored in the f i r s t h a l f . In the second h a l f Westlake released i t s g r ip on the game and could only scoretwo f u r t h e r goals. The f i n a l score was 8-0 to Westlake and goal scorers were K. Wigglesworth ( 5 ) , L.

Hutchinson played good games. The f i n a l score was a very s a t i s f y i n g 8-2 win to Westlake

WESTLAKE V M.A.G.S. - JUNE 2nd AT WESTLAKE

As both teams were unbeaten at t h i s stage, t h i s game was most important. Our ground was in perfect order as was the weather f o r t h i s v i t a l match. The score 5-1 bel iec the run o f play which was even expect f o r the l a s t 50 minutes in the second h a l f , when the Westlake machine s tar ted to c l i c k . K, Best (3 ) , G, Caldwell and K.

Final score 5-0 to Westlake.

WESTLAKE V LYNFIELD jW__3rd _AT LYNFIELD

Westlake played t h e i r arch r i v a l s L y n f i e l d at t h e i r home ground.

WESTLAKE V LYNFIELD - JULY 14th AT WESTLAKE

As usual t h i s game against L y n f i e l d was tough but Westlake had most o f the play. L y n f i e l d showed a sound defence against a strong Westlake attack, in p a r t i c u l a r the L y n f i e l d goalkeeper, J . Reid, who played magnificently, and i f i t was not f o r him Westlake would have scored many times. At h a l f time there was no score due to the saves made by the L y n f i e l d goalkeeper. In the second h a l f , Westlake found the net twice , wi th goals coming from a defender who had def lec ted L. Jones's shot and K. Wigglesworth (lhe "Doug"). The f i n a l score was 2-0 to Westlake.

THE CHRISTCHURCH TRIP

We set o f f i n the dark ear ly on Sunday morning, and a r r ived i n Christchur about 10 o ' c lock . The weather was f i n e but f a i r l y co ld . We met our b i l l e t s and we were shown around Christchurch. Later in the day we had a long t r a i n i n g session, despite the fac t that some of the team members were s u f f e r i n g from f l u .

We played our f i r s t game against St. Andrews College on Monday morning and we beat them 2-0 a f t e r Ken Wigglesworth rocketed home a shot from 25 yards. I t s ta r ted ra in ing on Monday night and by morning i t hadn't stopped and the f i e l d s were waterlogged. We played Mt. Rosk i l l i n "swamp" conditions and we played a very enjoyable but uncomfortable game in the cold weather, beating them 6-0. The next day we played Wellington College i n the same type of conditions and we q u a l i f i e d f o r the '•• f i n a l by winning 4 - 1 .

On Thursday we played Linwood College i n almost unplayable condit ions and we were unlucky to be beaten on peaalt ies a f t e r drawing 2-2. On Thursday night we met i n Town and had a meal and everybody was i n a good mood despite our loss and we had a good time.

On Friday we played a f r i e n d l y game against Christchurch Boys and we beat them 4 - 1 . We l e f t from Christchurch a i r p o r t that n ight and a r r ived at Auckland around 12 o ' c lock .

SENIOR "B" SOCCEP At the beginning o f the season the team had the appearance of being s o l i d in defence and w e l l balanced throughout . In non-competi t ion matches, they gave a good account o f themselves except f o r the odd occasion when a b a l l handl ing mistake at a v i t a l moment cost them the match, as happened p l ay ing a North Shore United team i n the las t few minutes. As the season progressed the team's p l ay ing improved but i t was s t i l l unable t o f i n i s h o f f some goa l - sco r ing oppor tun i t i e s which cost them several matches. In the l a t t e r par"- o f the season the team f i e l d e d d i f f e r e n t combinations o f p layers w i t ! degree o f success. The team played a relazed s t y l e o f f o o t b a l l arid t n i s was r e f l e c t e d i n the t u rn outs to t r a i n i n g sessions. The exception to t h i s was the f i r s t match against Rangitoto Col lege, when every p layer gave " t h e i r maximum" e f f o r t and were unlucky not t o w in . This was one^of the best and most enjoyed matches o f the season. The most ou ts tanding ing and consistent player i n the team was John Wigglesworth. John was t r a n s f e r e d la te in the season t o the 1st eleven reserves, although continued to play f o r the Senior "B" u n t i l the seasons c lose .

The school has recently brought sufficient electrical equipment for pupils to take part in open competitions and reasonable success has beer obtained by the school in these competitions. The most successful school competitor has been R.

Owing to the teams r e l a t i v e inexperience i t was decided to en te r the Secondary School's Senior ' B ' compet i t ion f o r the season. The team went through the compet i t ion undefeated and recorded some wel l -earned v i c t o r i e s : e .g . beat Kings 8 - 1 , Roseh i l l 5-0 and Auckland Grammar School 8-0. However, Avondale also was undefeated and Westlake met them i n the f i n a l . A f t e r a shaky f i r s t h a l f Westlake found themselves 0-2 down and th ings looked gr im. In the second h a l f the team s e t t l e d down and played some exce l l en t hockey. With f i f t e e n minutes to go G. Lyons scored a good goal from a penal ty corner and although Westlake continued t o pressure Avondale*s goal they could not score and thus los t 1-2. With t h i s loss Westlake was runner-up i n the compe t i t i on .

In non-competi t ion games Westlake beat F a i r f i e l d 4-2 , l o s t to Whangarei 2-6 as we l l as having several pre-tournament "warm-ups" w i t h Navy which were enjoyed by both s ides . During the August ho l idays the team departed f o r the tournament at Wanganui. We met w i t h mixed success and although we recorded two good wins , the two draws on the f i r s t day put Westlake out o f the running.

In the overall results Westlake was placed sixth out of twelve and centre forward Tony Hamilton was chosen for the tournament rep side. The tournament ended with a l l team members having enjoyed themselves immensely. Thus came the end of the season with Westlake having both a successful and enjoyable season. The players who developed into outstanding players were T. Hamilton, P. Battaerd, A. McNaughton and G. Lyons,although the whole team played well throughout the season. Our thanks to Mr. Gillion for the time and energy which he put into the team this season and we look forward to an even more successful season next year!

BADMINTON This year badminton had to be organised by eight boys with the consent of Mr. Butt. We were l e f t to look after ourselves. Wc arranged with both the fencing and the Table Tennis to share the Hall. One court was procured, so ten hoys organised a round robin playing doubles. After i n i t a l problems has sorted themselves out everybody settled into enjoying themselves. The notable players were Graeme Fort, Max Horley *nd Kevin Marsh, "lhe season only lasted the third term and we only played during the sports period.

CRUSADERS

This year our Crusader leader was Stephen Young. Our meetings were held during lunchtimes on Mondays and Fridays i n E12 under the guidance o f Chris Hayden. Mondays involved an organised b ib le study and prayer time while Friday was usually taken up by having a sing-song with the accompaniment of a gu i ta r which was then fol lowed by a time f o r sharing and praying. Our Cul tura l assembly has been enter tained by a Chr is t ian Musical group "The Certain Sounds" and various other speakers such as Tony Hopkins and Dennis Ackerman to name only a few. Many camps have been taken throughout the year and a l l turned out to be great successes. Sack camps were held in the M i l f o r d Baptist church house fo r a week during the mid year period and a mixed camp was held recently which a l l schools on the shore combined i n and had an enjoyable time. A dinner is planned f o r the 6th of December. Although our name has been changed to Inter-School Chris t ian Fellowship ( I .S .C .F . ) we s t i l l bear the name Crusaders and we are recognised as young people enjoying l i f e i n the r e a l i t y o f Chr i s t .

ROWING The school again had an active rowing season. Prospects looked mixed to begin with because very few senior rowers were returning for 1973 and intermediate and juniors were scarcely up to strength. However, the old hands did a grand job in holding the sport together and younger rowers made rapid progress. In this situation, the senior crew was not as strong as in some earlier years, but intermediate and juniors had a very successful season.

Seniors' training began with the camp at Lake Karapiro in January. This year nearly twenty rowers took part and a l l benefited greatly from the experience and dedication of our senior coach, Erie Craies. School crews again spent a short time at Karapiro before Maadi Camp, and we are indebted to the Auckland Rowing Association 'for the use of the Stevenson Lodge.

The highlight of the year, undoubtedly, was the purchase of a rowing eight for the school. Under the Chairmanship of Mr R.B. Darlow (Manager of the Senior crew for the previous three years), a committee of parents did a splendid job in rallying support. On September 20th, a gleaming new eight - the Bob Darlow - was an accomplished fact, set up in the school hall and handed over formally at a function attended by nearly 200 people.

This dramatic progress from "rags to riches" has given a tremendous boast to school rowing, especially as Mr. Darlow's committee has also been able to hand over a new t r a i l e r . In addition, the school i t s e l f has obtained a training eight and training four. All rowers look forward to making the best of their good fortune in the 1974 season. In maintaining Westlake's record in school rowing, much depends on the enthusiasm and hard work of our coaches, who give up countless hours to help. Mr. Eric Craies has now looked after the school crew for ten years, and we were fortunate that he was again available. Gordon Nicol (Intermediate), Peter Rea (Intermediate Four), Dave Fredric (Junior), Nick McMaster (Junior) and Harry McQuay (Beginners), are al l Westlake Old Boys who gave excellent service during the season. Fortunately most of them, together with Graeme Darlow, w i i l again be coaching for the school in 1974. Crews for 1973 were: Senior: M. Mclntyre (stroke), M. Lonie, G. Ball, J. Sayers,

A. Harris, I . Hamilton, D. Nelson, P. Redpath,' G. Chaplin (Cox), L. Molving.

CRICKET 1973

1st ELEVEN

Dr. J c k y l l and Mr. Hyde had no th ing on the schizophrenic, nature o f t h i s year ' s team. In the f i r s t h a l f o f the season, we got o f f to a f i n e s t a r t , showing a b i l i t y and confidence. Six v i c t o r i e s i n a row put them wel l c lear at the Top o f the Senior "A" Championship. No one player-can take the c r e d i t , as i t was a genuin team e f f o r t . Main fac tors were the f a s t in -swing bowl ing o f Gavin Goudie and the slow l e f t - a m i spin o f the Captain Ian Hunt. A l l the batsmen were making steady con t r ibu t ions to the score cords. The performances i n October and November were Very d i sappo in t ing but there were, however, some h i g h l i g h t s t o brighter , the gloom. Tom Logan emerged as an outs tanding opening ba t , e spec i a l l y w i t h a f i n e 73 against A.G.S. when under rea l pressure. The bowling o f John Cotton and Alan Waugh continued to improve. With many o f t h i s t a l en ted team r e t u r n i n g next year, a ;;ood season w i l l be a prospect , provided the lesson has been lea rn t tha t t a l e n t alone i s not. enough. I t must be supported by hard work at p r ac t i ce and sustained concent ra t ion i n the matches. At the time of w r i t i n g t h i s r e p o r t , i t seems l i k e l y that the team w i l l f i n i s h runners-up i n the Senior "A" Championship, a performance on ly managed once before by a Westlake Cr icke t s ide .

Resul ts :

Mt. A lbe r t Grammer. Result : Mt. A l b e r t 101 (Hunt 3-5) 153-7 (Cotton 3-16)

Westlake 135 (Thompson 42, Cotton 30) 41-8 1st innings win

For the f i r s t game against such a s t rong s i d c t h i s was an exce l l en t s t a r t by a r e l a t i v e l y inexperienced team. Some key players were missing from the l i n e up and t h i s made the r e s u l t even more commendable.

St . Peters. Result: Westlake 102 82-2 (Harris 27, Thompson 25, Logan 25 n.o.)

.St. Peters 45 (Goudie 4-11) 125 (Nicholls 4-25) Outright win.

This game produced several good performances and an excellent piece of captaincy by Ian Hunt in making such a good declaration, which produced a close exciting finish.

Kelston. Result: Westlake 161 (Waugh 33) 59-5 declared (Logan 24)

Kelston 86 (Hunt 5-6) 67-5 1st innings win

After a good 1st innings total and good bowling from Hunt Kelston did not accept the challenge we set them and the game died to a dull 1st innings win.

Sacred Heart. Result: Sacred Heart 120 (Goudie 5-55) 19 (Goudie 8-5)

Westlake 150 (Logan 35, Robinson 36) On a rain affected pitch with the team at one stage struggling to over­take the Sacred Heart to t a l Gavin Goudie bowled better than ever before to achieve fantastic bowling figures and enable us to take another outright win.

St. Kent i. perns. Result: St . Kent? 151 (Purvis 3-20, Waught 5-233

Westlake 124 (Hunt 48, Logan 37) 1st innings loss.

Because of the wet conditions our opening bowler Goudie could not bowl and th is a f fec ted our performance; pussibly by bowling f i r s t we threw the game away. The b a t t i n g had few b r igh t moments w i t h most batsmen throwing away t h e i r wickets .

Auckland Grammar Result: Westlake 77 (Harris 24) 141 (Logan 73)

A.G.S. 211, (13 without loss) Outright loss.

Against a very good side wi th no obvious weaknesses the team,with the exception o f a few players,came apart at the seams. High point f o r the side was Tom Logans incred ib le 73.

4B CRICKET

4B Cricket have had a very good season so f a r under the able leadership o f Dennis Deboer and Graham Ross. During the 1st term 6 games were played f o r 1 ou t r i gh t win against Auckland Grammar, 4 f i r s t innings wins and one draw. At t h i s stage we were leading the competition wi th 27 poin ts . So f a r t h i s term we have played 4 games w i t h 2 f i r s t innings wins, 1 f i r s t winnings loss and 1 win by de f au l t . With only two games to go there is a good chance o f winning the competi t ion. The s ta r player has been Richard Falwasser who has had many good opening stands and o f t en destroyed the opposing team w i t h his bowling. Larry M i t c h e l l has also batted very we l l i n opening partnerships wi th Richard.

BASKETBALL REPORT 1973 COACHES REMARKS A very disappointing season for a l l 3rd form teams as no other college would take on the responsibility of organising a firm competition. A lot of enthusiasm was shown by the 3rds at basketball and fortunately h way through the season games were obtained for our top 2 teams with the appreciated help of Rangitoto College.

JUNIOR "A"

A team w i t h good p o t e n t i a l , more i f they can remain toge ther . Played spasmodically and more time on o f f e n s i v e moves must be used. A we l l balance team w i t h good s p i r i t . "A2" team f i n i s h e d behind "A" team at completion o f season. Unfor tuna te ly they d i d not have a steady coach.

INTERMEDIATE "B" F u l l marks to the Intermediate "B" squad who organised themselves w i t h a minute 's no t i ce i n t o a formidable team. This team displayed a real enthusiasm f o r the game and obvious ly got great enjoyment from p l ay ing i t . I t makes one revalue h i s t h i n k i n g on the p r o f i t a b i l i t y o f having f i r m compet i t ion . Once again because o f lack o f help no compet i t ion was organised f o r the Intermediate " B ' s " .

SENIOR "A" A keen and w e l l balanced squad. This team although at the s t a r t o f the season appeared only average to former years c e r t a i n l y proved themselves as we went through the season. Although at times w e l l behind, the team continued t o t r y and d id not give in at any stage. Team s p i r i t p r eva i l ed throughout the season and went on a very successful Gisborne t r i p . Tins team proved valuable i n a s s i s t i n g us in the coaching o f the 3rd formers and I would l i k e to thank those players concerned. 1 hope next year we w i l l have more S t a f f coaches to assis t in the development o f t h i s spor t and thereby a l lowing more time f o r i n d i v i d u a l team coaching.

Paul Ogi Ivy : (Captain) High scoring average, good guard able to set up a t t ack ing p lays . D i s l i k e s t r a v e l and w i l l not go anywhere w i t h Out his cuddly p i l l o w . Suggests s leeping i n v e r t i c a l p o s i t i o n suspended by neck f o r 6 months to gain more he igh t . Nicknamed F i t c h f o r k by contemporaries. A t e r r i b l e g u t f e r .

Dave Dowsett: Good scoring average. Teams well with Paul and vise versa. Has trouble with his comprehension, perhaps of scotch or ig in . His mania is to beat Mr. Dowling at round the ring. Nicknamed Flo or sometimes Lill ie.

Michael McMaster: A l i a s Squeck to team. Shooting improved vas t l y over the season. F i r s t up cour t on at tack (perhaps he stays t h e r e ) . Reputed to be a f a i r cook, snores, enjoys cold swims. Obviously b u i l t f o r s u r f i n g .

Rick Kuluz: Good rebounder and aggressive p l aye r . Extremely i n t e r e s t e d i n Gisborne*S landscape. A lousy photographer and a worse t r a v e l l e r . Hates bacon and egg p i e s . A l i a s Mcllardy.

Bruce Farquharson: Good va luable , r e l i a b l e team member. Nicknamed Auntie Bruce by the team. Has a good s t rong r i g h t arm, but is apt to t i r e over the l a s t m i l e . Receives l i t t l e i n r e tu rn f o r his valuable se rv ice , wants no th ing .

Andy Walker: Looks a f t e r team's comb. When warm, rebounds w e l l . Both shooting and rebounding have improved over season. Likes s leep ing and ea t ing . Obviously a masochist as he enjoys bea t ing h imse l f on the head w i t h the team's comb.

Gavin Goudie: U t i l i t y forward, centre. Like? eating raw potatoes in bed, snores. A rot ton snooker player , Nickname Gav . Ambition to re turn sack of spuds (with in te res t ) to Management.

Kick Stevens: Played Senior B but accompanied team to Gisborne. F i t t ed in we l l wi th the team. Obviously enjoys Basketball more than swimming. Has trouble with li i s p u t t i n g .

Alan Menzies: Called the Body or legs by team. Enjoys heights and l ikes sleeping i n , eats l i t t l e . Enjoys window shopping, good po ten t i a l i f he could stand the pace.

•Jeremy D i l l o n : Good steady set shot, plays shoot, l ikes s u r f i n g and jeeps. Could develop in to a valuable player.

Once again my personal thanks to teachers and pupi ls who have assisted me throughout the season.

NORTHERN ZONE FINAL COMPETITION Over the years i t has developed in to an extremely tough competition w i t h a l l the major schools enter ing strong teams. At the beginning o f the season we found ourselves coming out winners on every occasion and because o f t h i s I feel we took the clashes wi th our major opponents too l i g h t l y . There were many f au l t s wi th our t a c t i c a l play but because o f the superb goal shooting o f captain Paul Ogi lvy , Dave Dowsett and Rick Kuluz we weren't too concerned w i t h them. In our early encounters wi th teams such as Rangitoto and Takapuna Grammar we were c lear v i c t o r s , then when we met Northcote our unpolished routines showed up and although games were always very close between us we could never seem to come out v i c t o r s . In the Northern Zone Final we entered the competition hoping to come at least second to undefeated Northcote and maybe ge t t ing t r i p t o Dunedin. These hopes were d ispel led when two o f our main players were l a i d o f f sick and our aim los t when we were beaten by Rangitoto (previously twice beaten). Our second game was won w i t h ease over a less s k i l l e d country team 63-38 and we ended up w i t h t h i r d place in the competition behind Northcote and Rangitoto.

AUCKLAND CITY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Westlake v Edgewater (winners o f Southern Zone) - Score: 55-43. This our f i r s t game i n the champs proved to be a reasonable challenge fo r a h f i n a l win. Early in the game, not having warmed up, Edgewater took the lead, c a p i t a l i s i n g on Westlake's mistakes. A f t e r a team t a l k wi th the Coach, and a change of t a c t i c s , we soon gained control o f the game. Edgewater seeing defeat close at hand, mounted an a l l - o u t o f f ens ive which Westlake found very tought, although at the f i n a l whis t le Westlake managed to scrape i n and win .

Westlake v Northcote ( s emi - f ina l ) - Score: 39-34 Northcote, our o ld r i v a l s , once again met us on the f l o o r . Already knowing t h e i r s t y l e o f play we knew we had to play we l l and our shots had to make the r i n g . Northcote went in to an early lead taking advantage o f our mistakes. This time Westlake was determined to f i g h t back wi th guts and determination. Westlake gradually closed the gap, scoring basket a f t e r basket, pegging Northcote to a 5 point lead.

Westlake v Auckland Grammar School - Score: 46-42 Westlake had to play t h i s game i n the afternoon of the Northcote game and weren't prepared f o r t h i s as several o f our players had other arrangements so had to get a Senior "B" player to play fo r us. Westlake got o f f to a good s t a r t , and bustled A.G.S. i n t o many errors and managed to take an ear ly lead. At ha l f t ime Westlake had an 8 point lead but A.G.S. wi th t i g h t e r play and a couple o f fas t breaks ( t h e i r specia l ty) managed to overhaul our lead. In the last three minutes one of our top f i v e was fouled o f f so the weakened team now had to t r y to apply the pressure on A.G.S. so as to force mistakes, but f a i l e d to, and los t the game by two baskets.

SENIOR "A" GISBORNE TRIP

A f t e r an arduous t r i p we f i n a l l y a r r ived in Gisborne about f i v e o 'clock One hour l a t e r we were se t t l ed in to our cabins, cooking what was to be our normal meal fo r the next week - canned spaghet t i , baked beans or mash. Mr. Dowling however, was determined to force upon us s i lverbeet which he had purchased in vast quan t i t i e s on the way down. We g r a t e f u l declined the o f f e r .

A f t e r ' s p i r i t u a l ' revivement the same n i g h t , and an exploratory t r i p in to town we went to sleep i n some o f the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept i n . A f a i r l y uneventful week found us f requent ing the snooker rooms or the m i n i - g o l f course interspersed between infrequent games of baske tba l l . We played three games and the results were as f o i l o w s :

v Gisborne High School won 56-38 V Gisborne .Juniors won 38-24 v Gisborne Ci ty JJ Dunsmore Team won 62-36

Several personal i t ies emerged on the t ou r , notably a long t a l l 5th former (whose in t e rna l capacity f o r l i q u i d was not as large as he may have thought) and Aunty Bruce who became the steadfast 'mother' o f the team keeping the rest of us i n l i ne and looking a f t e r the sick and 1 a i 1 i n g ' .

Our thanks must go to Mr. Dowling f o r organising the t r i p and fo r everything he has done fo r us while playing basketbal l at t h i s school. (Even i f his d r i v i n g d id leave something to lie des i red) .

SENIOR "B" BASKETBALL TEAM We star ted the season wi th a large squad. Our coach Mr. Thorn organised the side we l l and we began the season with several f r i e n d l y games again Northcote and Rangi. Results seemed promising, there was some good t a l en t , and a l o t o f height . Just as the team seemed about ready to en the competition Mr. Thorn was t rans fe r red to another school i n the f a r nor th . With t h i s loss the team seemed to f a l l apart , Mr. Dowling being f u l l y occupied wi th coaching the Senior "A" was unable to organise a competition for us.

We rang around several schools but no one wanted to take on the r e spons ib i l i t y o f organising a North Shore Senior "B" competit ion. The team was changed around many times during the year but the consistent members were Harry Cul len , Bruce Clark, Craig Rowe, Rick Stevens, Paul S t i ck , Ian Pasalich, Keven Meiklejohn, Denis Gorge and others who

played fo r us such as Mark Lunny, Mark Daubney, Doug McCaffety, Tim Ganaway and Peter Battaerd helped us out i n several o f our games. For the las t part o f the year Mr. Harris ably took over Wednesday pract ices and generally organised the team. I f we had had a proper competition the team could have developed much more po t en t i a l than i t d id . F ina l ly our thanks to those concerned, Mr. Dowling, the l a t e Mr. Thorn and Mr. Har r i s .

JUNIOR "A" BASKETBALL TEAM Junior ''A" ran in second th i s year due to the d e f a u l t i n g o f G l e n f i e l d . Ihe f i r s t game of tfie season was against G len f i e ld in a f r i e n d l y match in which wc were beaten soundly but determined to even the score next t i n e . Before our next important game againsf 'Northcote 1" we beat Rangitoto, and the ''Westlake 2 's" f a i r l y eas i ly . Then came the game against "Northcote 1". A f t e r a scrappy game, we came out losers by 18 po in t s , the team jus t hadn't c l i cked but we were sure wc could beat them next time. Before we played G l e n f i e l d again we beat Birkdale , Takapuna Grammar and Rangitoto again qui te comfortably. Then came the next game wi th G l e n f i e l d . A f t e r a f i r s t h a l f where the scoring had been low on both sides they s tar ted to take cont ro l and ran out convincing winners by 33-14. We were very disappointed but we had one more game to go wi th them.

In between our next game with "Northcote 1" we beat "Northcote 2", and "Westlake 2" again then the last game with Northcote. In a very even

f i r s t h a l f they came out leading 17-12. We went in to the second h a l f more hopeful than we had been before but a player i n the shape of M. Newby wrecked our hopes again and we were beaten 35-22.

The most important game of the season was l e f t , the f i n a l game against G l e n f i e l d . In a incred i tab ly e x c i t i n g f i r s t h a l f each team scored basket i'or basket, they just edged ahead and at the h a l f time whis t le were leading by 3 po in t s . We f e l t we had them t h i s t ime, but something cracked in our'defence and they s tar ted scoring f r e e l y through the use of t h e i r we l l pract ised fas t break. We t r i e d hard but j u s t could not cut back t h e i r lead. At the f i n a l whis t l e the score was 60-30 to them. A f t e r that game we had to be content w i t h second place. Richard O'Dowd w i t h 70 and Duncan Harris wi th 52 were top scorers w i t h N. O'Brien and M. Hardy p lay ing wel l most games. T. Rhodes, M. Peek, S. Kuluz, also played the i r par t . The team scored 168 f o r w i t h 108 against. Our thanks to Mr. Dowling f o r coaching us so w e l l . Played 10, Won 7, Lost 3.

JUNIOR "A2" BASKETBALL TEAM

The Junior "A2" played some good hard basketball against some tough opposi t ion . Although we lost a few games we s t i l l got i n t o competition and came t h i r d in the overa l l because G len f i e ld was d i s q u a l i f i e d . Thanks to Mr. Ralph f o r coaching the team. The outstanding players were S. Wilson, B. Norstrand, I . McNee and 11. Tamatea.

GYMNASTICS

In the last week o f October the school held i t s annual Gym championships Considering how l i t t l e time these boys have access to the Gymnasium the standard was very high among the s ix who contested the event. What the school r e a l l y needs i s a place where the equipment can be l e f t assembled a l l the t ime. Geoffrey McNaughton followed up his Auckland Secondary school t h i r d form t i t l e by narrowly taking the school championship.

Final placings were: 1st G. McNaughton 47.7 2nd L. Mi t che l l 46.1 3rd W. Lcvick 44.9

DRAMA

1973 has seen new developments in Drama at Westlake. An interes ted group worked wi th Richard Brooke explor ing improvisat ion and movement. As t h i s group ( inc lud ing David Mahon, .Adrian Hart , Colin Hawkes, Glen Spurdle) worked, the idea f o r a production emerged. Previously, there had been d i s s a t i s f a c t i o n wi th competitive f e s t i v a l s such as that run by the Theatre Federation and the "showpiece type" major production. Hence i t was ref reshing to sec a production i n which a l l contr ibuted instead o f being jus t d i rec ted by a producer. "Son of Man" by Denis Potter formed the basis f o r t h i s production - howe/er only the basis - parts were adapted and l ines modified as f e l t f i t . The' prime concern was that the cast were involved and that through them the audience would leave s t i l l t h ink ing about what they had experienced. Once staged i t was ce r t a in ly d i f f e r e n t from the r u n - o f - t h e - m i l l school play - simple se t , action tak ing place w i t h i n the auditorium, simple, stark costumes, much mimed movement. Although the whole cast was t o t a l l y committed to t h i s production mention should be made of David Mahon as a very human Christ and Adrian Hart as a simpering Pontius P i l a t e .

Classroom Drama has continued to be important ranging from sc r ip ted plays to improvised scenes and dialogues. Thus, whi le apparently a quiet year fox pub l ic performances, many exc i r ing developments have happened.

MUSIC ACTIVITIES FOR 1973

The Carol Concert f o r 1972 fol lowed the trend established over the past year, in which contemporary music and pupi l p a r t i c i p a t i o n were combined to present a Twentieth Century approach to the annual Christmas F e s t i v i t i e s . The readings f o r th is performance were special ly chosen from wr i te rs o f a l l l i t e r a r y styles and periods, and included several N.Z. works. Subdued l i g h t i n g and e f f e c t i v e use o f candles gave a reminder o f past more t r a d i t i o n a l Carol Concerts.

The major musical a c t i v i t y o f any year comes about when ins t rumental is ts and singers combine e f f o r t s and ta lents to produce an Arts Fes t iva l . The Westlake Arts Fes t ival is one eageTly awaited by pupils and publ ic a l i k e , and each year presents the ever present problem o f maintainence o f a high standard o f performance and a var ie ty o f new and a t t r a c t i v e works f o r both performers and audience. This year was notable

for tin.- compositions by pupils - a "Song Cycle" by Adrienne Jacka, "Piece Cor Flute and Harpsichord" by Lyn Davis, and a beau t i f u l song for four part choir, f l u t e obligate, and piano, "To Mary" by Richard Bonsall. The l i g h t e r side of musical entertainment was revealed with a performance of the "Toy Symphony" by Haydn in which music-making toys were played by a team of well known sol o i s t s - s t a f f from both schools. Additional Arts Festival features were 'the Westlake Chorale under the d i r e c t i o n of Miss Rhind, and a Raroqne Trumpet Concerto by ToreHi with Michael Craven as soloist-' accompanied by the Westlake Chamber Orchestra. The rousing chorus "F.cce Gratvm" from "Carmina Bur ana" by Carl Orff rounded o f f a thoroughly enjoyable 1973 Arts Festival. The Chamber Orchestra performed at the opening of a D i s t r i c t Rotary Conference in March, and continued to develop in s k i l l and technique throughout the year. The annual chamber music competitions exposed considerable t a l e n t , but the l o r e l l i trumpet concerto was not up to the standard of other groups performing. Concerts for the Mi l f o r d Harmony Club and the Library presentation rounded o f f a happy and enjoyable year.

Perhaps the most dramatic development on the musical scene has been within the f i e l d of band music. The Reizenstan Band grew from about 15 players to 32 and ended the year playing Carols at the request of the Takapuna City Council. After several most successful school performances, the band played twice f o r patients at the North Shore Ger i a t r i c Hospital, and then represented the school at the Secondary Schools' Music Festival i n October. Their f i n a l o f f i c i a l school function was the Senior Prizegiving where the evening was rounded o f f with a rousing version of numbers from "My Fair Lady".

The lour of Intermediate Schools by the combined orchestra, was replaced by a v i s i t from the Band, playing well known marches and folksongs and the ever popular "My Fair Lady" selections. New sounds from w i t h i n the band are produced by newly acquired saxophones and a bassoon. The continuing success of a l l instrumental work i n the school is due to the support given by the i t i n e r a n t teachers who produce a constant stream of instrumentalists. Our thanks go to Mrs. D. Smith, Mrs. L. Davies, Mr. R. Brinsden, Mr. A. Webster, Mr. C. Ainsworth.

At the end of 1973 Mr. McGuinness leaves Westlake and af t e r several years of playing assistance i n both orchestra and band, his services w i l l be greatly missed.

LIBRARY

Two new features in the l i b r a r y th i s year-the Xerox copying machine and the paperback sect ion.

The Xerox machine has had a l o t o f use, from both s t a f f and students, and once the i n i t i a l i n t e r e s t , b r ing ing crowds o f spectators everytime the green l i g h t shone and the buzzer buzzed, died down, i t has f i t t e d i n reasonably unobtrusively. I t perhaps breaks down a l i t t l e too o f t e n , but then i t i s always repaired qu i ck ly ; and i t docs not funct ion consis tent ly o f f one cent coins, which some might consider an imperfect ion. Nor does i t produce canned saapa r i l l a , but even i n the technological seventies one can't have everything.

The paoerback section has been popular; here books o f a l l types -poetry, novels, n o n - f i c t i o n , are bundled next to each other w i t h no attempt at a c l a s s i f i e d order. The idea is to approach something o f a bookshop appeal (although our shelving unfor tunately makes cover display d i f f i c u l t ) , and encourage people to look at books and subjects they might not otherwise consider as being o f possible in teres t to them. We hope to add two hundred or so books to t h i s sect ion each year.

I t i s good to see the Library being more wi lely used f o r a c t i v i t i e s other than reading and borrowing. The Film Club has had most of i t s screenings here t h i s year; the P.T.A. have used i t f o r a display o f plans for the proposed student complex, a display o f technical drawing has come over from the Technical Department, and poetry reading and music evenings have been he ld . We would l i k e to see t h i s use of the l i b r a r y f o r a wider range o f c u l t u r a l a c t i v i t i e s extended fu r t he r .

I t i s necessary to thank a l l the school l ib ra r i ans who give up so much of t h e i r spare time throughout the year f o r the work that they have done. Not necessary as a matter of mere rou t ine , but because, qui te c e r t a i n l y , without them a l i b r a r y o f th i s size could simply not f u n c t i o n . Greg P i r i e has been a thoroughly competent, h e l p f u l and r e l i a b l e Head L i b r a r i a n , and w i l l be missed. Special thanks go to other l i b ra r i ans who are leaving this year.

U n t i l f u l l t i m e Librarians are appointed to school l i b r a r i e s , and more adequate c l e r i c a l assistance made ava i lab le , so much of what a l i b r a r y should be doing i n th is age cannot be done. I t i s hoped that' a l l the t a l k there has been over the past year about improved s t a f f i n g f o r Librar ies w i l l lead to some act ion very soon. A l i b r a r y probably represents the single biggest f i n a n c i a l asset in a school, and i t i s essential that i t be properly and profess iona l ly s t a f f ed and organised.

IVII.LTAM GRANT FORSYTH

Grant has shown good academic standards over h i s years at Westlake. However, outs ide the classroom he has made a very wide c o n t r i b u t i o n a l so . Head Boy and President o f the Student Council i n 1973 were the cu lmina t ion o f his a c t i v i t i e s i n the student government f i e l d .

He made the student, counci l i n t o a responsible o rgan i sa t ion which could achieve much i n the running o f the school . In doing t h i s he showed p len ty o f i n i t i a t i v e and de te rmina t ion , not being deterred i n the face o f poss ib le oppos i t i on . being deterred m the tace ot poss ib le o p p o s i t i o n .

As b e f i t s someone prominent i n student p o l i t i c s Grant has been i n the school debat ing team since 1971 and was senior speech contest winner i n 1973. His leadership and s t rength o f character con t r ibu ted much to the school .

SENIOR PREFECT LINDSAY HOWARD JONES As Senior Prefect Lindsay impressed sta f f with his ef f i c i e n t leader­ship in organising the prefects, lie was respected as a mature person by pupils in a l l his a c t i v i t i e s .

In 1973 he received the Arthur Schubert Award for the most outstandin student in a l l aspects for that year.

In his academic studies Lindsay worked conscentiously, however i t is with the 1st XI Soccer that Lindsay made his mark as Captain, leading the team to two very successful seasons. He was also in the Senior A Tennis team and Senior Cross-Country team.

A fine a l l round sportsman Lindsay has shown sensitive qualities of leadership and sportsmanship far above the norm.

JOHN GORDON HOSKING In 1973 John is a candidate for Scholarship. He has shown excellent results in his academic work over the years. In 1972 he gained an A Bursary without any 7th form preparation. Outside the classroom John has taken part in a wide variety of ac t i v i t i e s , developing into a keen squash player and respected prefect. His attitudes complement his intellectual a b i l i t y to make a student who w i l l make a worthwhile contribution i n the future.
