CRICKET: This year an inter-school competition was formed. The first round to be played before, and the other round after the football season. Through able coaching and great consistency on the part of the team, we succeeded in winning the first round. We won six games outright, drew two, and lost the other by only one run. This performance placed us at the top of the list with twelve points. The following represented the School in the first round: Meadows (c), Cox (v-c), Dudgeon, Hunt, H.O., Johnson, H., Hardie, Hare, Cannon, Croft, Coates, Robbie, Casbolt. We opened the season with drawn games against Footscray and Prahran, and a victory over Sunshine. We defeated, on first innings, both Brunswick and Caulfield. With South Melbourne we drew, but West Melbourne defeated us by one run. In the last match of the round we beat Collingwood on the fist innings. The most noteworthy performance with the bat was that of H. Dudgeon, with 121 not out against Footscray. Several fine feats of bowling were displayed; the best was, probably, that of Cox, five for seven, against Caulfield. Next term the team will again go into training, and they feel quite confident of securing the Cricket Cup. Sea Spray 1924 page 19.

EDITORIAL
Just seventeen years ago the first issue of “Sea Spray” was printed. Many members of the Old Boys’ Association treasure copies of that magazine – Vol. 1, No. 1, 1923. It has been a link uniting them to their old School. “Sea Spray” has continued to carry on the work pioneered seventeen years ago – it has proved an inspiration and guidance to succeeding generations of students.
This number of “Sea Spray,” will be a farewell magazine to many who have worked and played for three spacious years. Though most of the exit-students will be linked to the School by attendance at the evening classes and by membership with the Old Boys’ Association, yet for them school-days are over; they must take the stream.
You students about to leave, are equipped for the business of gaining a sound knowledge of your purposed calling; but, if you have caught the true spirit of your School, the School has done more than that for you; it has equipped you for the wide and exacting responsibilities of civic life; there has been opened up for you vistas of literature and science which, if followed, will make full and truly recreative your hours of leisure.
“Where lied the land to which this ship must go?
Far, far ahead, is all her seamen know.”
Our first Editorial, seventeen years ago, imbued us with the love of School. We were very young, we had no traditions, few “old boys.” “Sea Spray” has played a part in creating an institution that contains all that is best in school life, a place that lads are eager to enter, feel privileged to attend, and proud that they were educated within its walls.

'Wayne Comes on Cold in a Warm Guernsey.' When your side only has 18 guernseys and you are 19th man you don't wast time with sympathy when a team-mate is hurt. You drag him off the field, drag his guernsey off his back and get into the action. Here Wayne Mowbray, of Brighton Technical School, shows how it is done as injured team-mate Alan Haines waits for the "stretcher-bearers." Brighton lost to Preston Tech. 18.19 to 4.9-33. The year was 1971.
