Hi Col,
I am sure you are correct as it was (I think) in that dorm my wonderful Prefect brother
volunteered to punish one of my discretions with a whipping using an electric light cord.
He could have left it to any other prefect !!!
What an excellent chap. What a pity he repeated that year to get a better HSC score.
?
He has chosen not to communicate since a massive family argument when our mother died, so I cannot verify. I was the sole executor, and that put several noses out of joint. But everything was done absolutely fairly so it goes to show that
“no good deed goes unpunished”. Lol.
?
Cheers,
M

Hello Alan Doyle; I had heard about your gammy leg but did not know you were now a wheelchairer. good on you for being so positive and continuing driving and being social etc.
Just to fill you (and anybody else who is interested). Dorm 7, starting from the left side looking in... K Furner, S. Aughey, A. Doyle, K. Broomfied, D. Evans. From the right side of the door...
G. Brain, J. Eyles, R. Elwin, B. McCormack, C. Semmler. Howard Briggs was prefect... you must remember the deep philosophical discussions about his never-ending supply of chicks and birds.
And yes JE.... I would bet that it was Alan Ruby who was prefect of Dorm 8 and in the corner dagging hole. Chris Davis, you might confirm this?? Some time ago I had Alan Ruby in my mind but for
some reason I dismissed him.

Hi Alan,

Firstly, sorry to hear about the leg – that’s not good but hope you are otherwise OK. Are you still in Deniliquin?

Dorm 7 was closest to the Dining Room – and Alan Rub? I never thought of him – be interesting to see other reactions to that. Interesting about your thoughts of
Gardiner 5 &6…let’s see what others have to add – I for one certainly cannot remember…and I think I was in Dorm 7 as well – 2nd on right (I think). And OK on Alan Ruby…interesting – I know Howard was there somewhere

Hi all

Dave had his hip replacement op on 2/6/2020, came home on the 4/6/2020. Had had enough of hospital.? He is going great guns. Has his 1st proper rehab session
today. Bit sore now.

Glad to hear you are improving Chris.

Dave can’t tell you who the prefects were – not his dorm sorry.

Hi All - again, hope this finds you well and that Chris Davis and Dave Stott are all improving. They're the only ones I am aware of that have been on the sick list
recently.
I have sent out an email to see if our Riverina locals wanted to get together? somewhere around the 7th July and probably in Ariah Park. When I have a date and confirmation of venue I will put out another email in case any of you outside the area want to come
across. These get togethers are always a good fun day out.
Secondly, a bit of a heads up and a question for you all. As you may be aware, I have been on Col Semmler's back since 2014 to get him to write up some memoirs as his memory seems to be somewhat better than many - LOL. The Covid shutdown gave him the impetus
and he has been very diligent...some might say that Messrs Bladwell and Thompson would have been proud of him :0). Suffice to say that sometime between now and our next reunion in 2022 we should have something for you to read. I anticipate the end product
will be a collective effort and if you are interested in contributing your memories let me know as they too can be added in. So start winding back your memories 50 something years back and jot down some of your memorable moments. Things that come to mind are
your 1st year experiences, the streaking craze, out bush adventures, seances, dances, gala days, dorm raids, dining room raids, Muck up day etc. List could be endless. I have quite a few photos as well. I do not envisage a published tome but more something
to be printed and bound and left for you to reminisce and perhaps left with your descendants to read.
And finally, some questions - in 1968 who was the Mutch Dorm 8 prefect? We are pretty sure Howard Briggs was Dorm 7 and Mad Dog Davidson may have also had one of the three dagging holes out the back. And speaking of those two dorms - where was everyone else
as those two dorms would have housed a max of 20-24 and according to the 1968 class photo there were 42 of us so if you include Ken, Bill Sheridan, Phil Young and Bruce Adams who were Prefects that year that still leaves at least another dorm's worth somewhere.
So, if you can remember, can you let me know what Dorm you were in that year and the prefect.
John

And speaking of those two dorms - where was everyone else as those two dorms would have housed a max of 20-24 and according to the 1968 class photo there were 42 of us so if you include Ken, Bill Sheridan, Phil Young and Bruce Adams who were Prefects that year that still leaves at least another dorm's worth somewhere. So, if you can remember, can you let me know what Dorm you were in that year and the prefect.

Hey? John, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Yep, I am still in Deni, And doing fine really. A bit limited, but still drive and can get around town with a wheelchair hoist on the roof? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? I am lucky to have a good group of friends and we all catch up regularly, plus a son and 2 daughters who are really supportive. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Now, Dorm 7 - if you were across the room, then maybe Greg Brain was near you (??? ), with Barry McCormack a little further down on your side. Also, I dont think there was more than 9 of us in the one dorm ??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Cheers.

I have sent out an email to see if our Riverina locals wanted to get together? somewhere around the 7th July and probably in Ariah Park. When I have a date and confirmation of venue I will put out another email in case any of you outside the area want to come across. These get togethers are always a good fun day out.
Secondly, a bit of a heads up and a question for you all. As you may be aware, I have been on Col Semmler's back since 2014 to get him to write up some memoirs as his memory seems to be somewhat better than many - LOL. The Covid shutdown gave him the impetus and he has been very diligent...some might say that Messrs Bladwell and Thompson would have been proud of him :0). Suffice to say that sometime between now and our next reunion in 2022 we should have something for you to read. I anticipate the end product will be a collective effort and if you are interested in contributing your memories let me know as they too can be added in. So start winding back your memories 50 something years back and jot down some of your memorable moments. Things that come to mind are your 1st year experiences, the streaking craze, out bush adventures, seances, dances, gala days, dorm raids, dining room raids, Muck up day etc. List could be endless. I have quite a few photos as well. I do not envisage a published tome but more something to be printed and bound and left for you to reminisce and perhaps left with your descendants to read.
And finally, some questions - in 1968 who was the Mutch Dorm 8 prefect? We are pretty sure Howard Briggs was Dorm 7 and Mad Dog Davidson may have also had one of the three dagging holes out the back.

Thanks for your kind thoughts John. I am improving slowly. Went for a drive last Sunday and went ok no dramas. In relation to dorms in 5th form I was in dorm 8 and are pretty sure Howard Briggs was our prefect. A very good question about the other 13 or so that weren’t in dorm 7 or 8.. Regards Chris

Hi John, Please also give our best wishes to Chris Davis.
On the plus side, we have the best medical system and the best surgeons in this country.
We hope rehab is not too onerous and goes well.
Like everyone else, we are only going out for essentials.
Sadly, these is a state border just a few K's north of us so we cannot see the kids and grandkids.
We obtained a special pass(port), but have trouble setting the clock back 50 years (lol).
We hope everyone is doing well and we all get through these crazy times in one piece.
Fondest regards,
Mark & Debbie Briggs

Hi John ? Many thanks for letting us know about Chris. Please wish him a speedy recovery from us both. ? Get together sounds like an idea. We would have to see how Dave is going by then. Was due for a hip replacement in May but cancelled due to C virus. He will have the other one done when he gets over the first one. ? We hope everyone is Ok with this virus. ? Cheers Dave & Leonie ?

Subject: [YAHS64] Update? Hi all, ? I hope this finds you well in these strange times. Fortunately for me, and I hope it is the same with you, most of this is quite normal as I don’t go out that much anyway and the two things I would normally go out for during the week are still running. ? Just heard from Col (Semmler) – he rang Chris Davis for his birthday only to find him in hospital – St Vincents in Melbourne. Chris had not been feeling well and collapsed – had the ambos been any later he may not have made it. Seems he had an issue with one of the valves in his heart and had to be opened up to fix it…all recovering now but still in hospital. Chris I am sure everyone joins with me to wish you a speedy recovery. ? Speaking of Col – it seems that the small amount of pressure I have been putting on him for the last few years is finally paying off and he is writing up some memoirs of our time there – so looking forward to reading it. J ? Had a couple of catch ups with Geoff Fox who many of you will know had been overseas and had made it back to Berrigan to go into isolation for a fortnight but in his caravan at his cousins place. From last account all was well with him and by now will be out of iso. ? We would have had another get together by now of the RIverina group but this lockdown has put paid to that for the time being. When we know the travel restrictions have been lifted I will get to organise the next one. I think we agreed to meet in the metropolis of Ariah Park – which should make for an interesting day. Looking forward to when that does happen. ? Will also post Chris’ news up on our FB page. ? All the best for now ? John ? ?

Please give Chris best wishes and know that we are thinking of him. Been there with the heart valve thing and it is not fun. The alternative even less so. ? Stay safe all . Cheers Dave Sanderson ??????????????? 0427522242 ?

Hi all, ? I hope this finds you well in these strange times. Fortunately for me, and I hope it is the same with you, most of this is quite normal as I don’t go out that much anyway and the two things I would normally go out for during the week are still running. ? Just heard from Col (Semmler) – he rang Chris Davis for his birthday only to find him in hospital – St Vincents in Melbourne. Chris had not been feeling well and collapsed – had the ambos been any later he may not have made it. Seems he had an issue with one of the valves in his heart and had to be opened up to fix it…all recovering now but still in hospital. Chris I am sure everyone joins with me to wish you a speedy recovery. ?

Subject: Re: [YAHS64] Today's get together? Bit too far to join you but good to see your message and photo. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you all.? ? Hi all,
Hi all. A great catch up today. Started off with coffee at Mock Orange as planned for the early birds and then lunch at the Wagga boat club overlooking a very low and muddy Lake Albert. At lunch we had the western contingent of Col, Kel and Zac who arrived in separate vehicles ?. The NW contingent of Chris Davey and Neil and Narelle Crawford. The southern contingent of Chris Davis and an apology from John Fowler and finally the Wagga contingent of Col, Doug and yours truly. Don was also an apology as he is gallavanting around SE Asia chasing Messrs Phyllis and Fox and also John Rees who is still working and couldn't get away. The next gathering will be in the town famous for its Wowsers, Bowsers and Peppercorn trees - Ariah Park in mid to late April and I will start looking for dates in late March. The pub has been recently renovated and apparently does great meals and Chis Davey's homework was to check out the Cafe coffee.
It goes without saying that all are welcome to these get togethers... if you can make it - partners as well.
I finally found (I am sure it wasn't lost Peter :0) ) the copy of the original attendance register which I brought along to coffee. This was the one Pete Fraser got for us back in 2013 and which I thought I had given back to him. I found it in a place I hadn't looked. Over the course of the next few months I will improve my original spreadsheet I made back then to include some more of the data - things like your original phone number and where and when the School thought you went after you left. Not 100% sure but it might not contain everyone especially those who may have arrived in 5th form for instance. I will then post it up in the files.
Some of you have indicated that you haven't been able to view the album I put up the other day. To view the albums you need to login (/g/YAHS64/) and therefore need to use a password. If this is you then please get back to me and I can try and sort it for you but I cannot see your login details and so there are only 2 options for me...I can either delete you from the site and then re-invite you and you can set that part up again -? (login and pwd) or try the 'lost password option'.
Finally, to everyone on the list - Happy Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.
