Stefan Tomasz YHS 1957 - I was interested by a contribution from Robin Bavinton (Class of '58) in the June Newsletter. He struck a chord with me over two of his memories. The first was the rough and tumble game he called "Donkey". For years and years I always remembered it has "Horse and Jockey". Certainly, in this political correct era, schools could no longer allow such a "game" to take place. As I remember it, the event did take place near the incinerators (mainly at lunch time). Participated only in by boys (mainly in Years 10 to 12) the general idea was to leap frog onto the backs of a group of half-bent over individuals and stack as many jumpers on the backs of the "frogs" until one side either "sagged" or the other "touched". The winning side got to do the jumping all over again! It is a wonder none of us broke our backs as some of my Year 11 colleagues of the day were not short of a pound or two of excess weight. Nonetheless it was a lot of great fun until the school decided it was no longer safe to expose us to such a potentially back-breaking activity. The second memory is to do with the choirs - especially the Dandenong Festival. I thank Robin because I could never remember the name of the cup we came home with on the occasion we won it. We were so lucky at YHS to have such a deep music tradition. In fact, the various choirs, G&Ss and other productions which came from Pyers-Dooley combo, near as damn it cost me my Matric! We seemed to always have a rehearsal or practice at lunch or recess, there were all the out-of-hours practices, not to mention the trip to Dandenong which, in those days, seemed a million miles away. As I recall, Robin was a tenor. The tenors were always short on numbers and battled to make themselves heard against the sheer weight of numbers of the basses. However, we must have been pretty good as we always did well in the public competitions. It's great to hear of the snippets of news from the past in the Newsletter. Keep up the good work.
