AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Growing Up Walgett is easy to read, with just over 85 pages of large print. It is a book which grew out of students' letters to their non-Aboriginal teacher, Cilka Zagar, to combat her boredom during the long daily bus ride home from school. A reader's interest is piqued by the colourful cover illustration of scenes of Walgett and by the photographs of people interspersed in the 35 page Foreword and Introduction. Interest continues to be drawn by the characters of the lead-in photographs of the 20 teenagers and young adults whose personal statements make up the remaining 54 page body of the book. There is no disappointment as the reader browses on, for the prose of the pieces lives up to the presentation.'  (Introduction)

    'Since our last issue w e have said farewell to one Principal and welcomed his successor. Warwick Dix will be missed by many of us but w e greet Dr Bill Jonas and look forward to the coming years under his guidance and leadership. Readers will recall that I asked Warwick to write the last Editorial as a farewell act and an opportunity to make some personal observations on the Institute and the work we undertake. It seemed natural, then, to ask Bill to write this one on the inauguration of his term as Principal.

    --Kingsley Palmer General Editor (Editorial)
