FRANK WILLIAMS: “Wandoo” – tall, dark etc. – in fact he has everything but a memory. Seen and not heard, and not even seen if possible.
George AGAR: “Lefty” says he’s above all this but he works up a sparkle at the Socials. Rucks with great energy when he’s feeling energetic
PETER CHARSLEY: “Tank” has unbelievable capacity. Takes rapid strides but counters what would be phenomenal speed by using four inch paces.
“OLLY” CHEAM: One of “Doc” Chok’s patients — probably his only one. Swings a nifty hocky stick with great happiness
“TONY” YEO: Looks all philosophic. Regards Red China with a wary eye.
DAVID EGGERTON: “Eggy” startled the Housemaster with information that “Gus” had fallen out a window. “No such luck” was the skeptical comment. Eggy knows how everything SHOULD be done.
DOUG CROSS: “Randolph’ acts as a Pathfinder for Faulkner and sets a pace that only Faulkner could maintain.
LEE KIM KEONG: Has a policeman’s curiosity but he must be satisfied soon. Thinks the College is a co-educational establishment situated in Northam.
GREG DREW: “Jacky” answers your fourth question first, your third question second, your fifth question third and so on. Very confusing.
JOHN FERGUSON: “Gus” must have left New Norcia a very thankful establishment. Wears a lowering brow except to laugh at the extreme discomforture of anyone else. Fiery lad.
JULIAN GILL: “Killer”. This intellectual scarcely merits capital punishment. An upright type but we’re doing our best to rehabilitate him.
GRAEME HOWARD: “Creature” combines the most reprehensible features of Louis Armstrong, Norman Wisdom and Jerry Lewis. That he has survived speaks volumes for the tolerance of our democratic way of life.
RALPH DUTTSON: “Dexter” makes converse with eloquent gestures and rise to Mediterranean heights. He wears one of those half grins which indicate neither lordly cynicism or utter vacuity.
MICHAEL JEFFERSON: “Mick” projects a cultured voice through his nose and thinks he sounds like a Cooper Climax. Knows all about great racing drivers like Jack Brabham, Stirling Moss and Mr. Bristow-Stagg
KIM SHORT: “Kim” Is precise and meticulous and possesses an active brain. He acts shy but from what we’ve heard, he saves up his personality for extra-curricular activities
LU LAI LEONG: He thinks he is Elvis and that Elvis is a Malaysian student with a squeaky voice. Acts as a safety valve for the White’s hockey team. Whatever goes wrong they all yell at Lu.
MICHAEL NAISBITT: “Nipper” finds the strain of getting up at 7.29 to be at breakfast at 7.30 takes his daily quota of energy. He looks like a silent type but he’s only asleep.
RONALD WATERMAN: “Plonko’ occasionally lowers his voice but only rarely and them from exhaustion. He has one block at Mount Barker which he intends to work, and another just above his shoulders. He could never work the latter one.
ALEXANDER ALAN PATE: “Sandy” speaks with unassailable authority on Tasmanian fat apples and their quality Granny Smith lambs. He kept up the high standards of Oxford and Cambridge by thoughtfully departing from their territory
PRECHA RAIVA: “Preacher” is a student of considerable talent. He could be described as direct and uninhibited or “synonymically” as just plain rude
RICHARD LEWIS: “Red” keep up his crimson colouring by pinching carrots. He is as bright as his blushes indicate, but what his blushed indicate might be interesting to know
JAMES THYNE: “Wilbur” thinks the courses at Muresk are all in the dining room and he works at them avidly there to the absolute exclusion of all subsidiary interests
ADRIAN MERCER: “Merry” pronounced “Mary” chased Gobbert in the Inter, found the hunt futile and apart from shining as much as melons and tomatoes would allow in the Sprog Race, hasn’t raised a gallop since.
WILLIAM WARD: “Bill” thinks the College lacks colours and wears magenta and Nile green socks, mustard shirts, bismark grey hats, but unlike other Rhode Island reds, he has only one feather.
HAROLD ARTHUR WHITE: ‘Arry” has a commanding lead in the Silver Shovel Award. He gives the impression of talking a lot of rot by talking a lot of rot.
“BOW-WOW” YAP: Temporarily lost his identity being disguised under a startling hair cut. We’d even go so far as to say that we preferred the original.
WONG SHEE DONN: Brandishes un effective hockey stick and waves an authoritative badminton bat. He sings a sound note, does most of the important things well, and also studies.
CHOK MONG HOO: “Doc” is a medicine man with a fearful grin and high pitched machine gun voice. He used to think Australia was quite a place but now regards Second Years as Australians.
