Editorial
At the end of second term, it was suggested that C.B.C. combine with Presentation Convent, for the next publication of C.B.C.'s well established magazine "The Criterion." It seemed a good idea, and therefore it was pursued. We had already discovered earlier in the year, with the uniting of the two schools for this year's play, "Pride and prejudice" that there was much to be gained from "uniting our common interests." The enthusiasm was intense, and it promoted the development of the friendship between our schools. The suggestion, then, of presenting a combined magazine, appeared to be an ideal way of further developing this friendship, and building a stronger bridge "across the tracks".
​
"The Criterion" would not easily be recognized, and accordingly it was rechristened, "WINK-ILDA", we hope, is symbolic of a major link between our two schools.
​
It contained a review of the combined school play "Pride and Prejudice", essays on the topic of Priyes, The "Drunken Aussie", Myth a Reality, 'to write an essay or not, that is the question", Melbourne Student Underground Euthanasia, the Bike, Which is the greater menace, a sheep in wolf's clothing or a wolf in sheeps' clothing, The Australian Feeling of Insecurity, and should cricket be compulsory in girls schools. It also included a list of all the Matriculation students in both Colleges with a short statement about them. Examples include when you're smiling the whole world smiles with you; a model student, who said nobody's perfect, a 'prank" musical, highly renowned, a quiet man leading a quiet life, a teacher's nightmare ....
