In 1954 he was a member of Scotch’s open two mile relay team which won the APS Athletics in a record 8:32.

In 1964 Tony founded the Melbourne Surf Shop in City Road, South Melbourne (now the site of McDonald’s). At its peak he had 13 shops, with the last one being in the Tivoli Arcade off Bourke Street. One of Australia’s surfing pioneers, Tony died on 14 May 2011. The following is excerpted from The Age obituary by Michael Gordon: In 1957 Tony ran the mile in 4:15.5 which equates to a sub-four minute 1500 metres. It is still the school record. He was twice awarded school colours for athletics, football and rowing. In 1958 he finished equal second in the national 880 yard title that was also the trial for the Rome Olympics. Herb Elliot was first and Olsson could not be separated from Merv Lincoln and Tony Blue. Tony was told that coming in the first three won Games selection, but that he was too young and could wait until the next Games. He decided to go surfing instead, and was one of Point Lonsdale’s first board riders. Tony devoted his energy to the newly-formed Victorian branch of the Australian Surfriders’ Association (now Surfing Victoria). Being treated shabbily by athletics officials impacted on Tony’s approach when he became ASA president in the late 1960s, as he applied rules with flexibility to try and do the right thing by the surfers. In 1965 he competed in huge waves at Bells Beach, which came to be known as the greatest contest ever held. Nicknamed ‘the Big O’, he is credited (with others) for conceiving a bell as the trophy for the world’s longest-running contest. It remains the world tour’s most coveted trophy. When ASA won the right to stage the 1970 world titles at Bells Beach, a lack of sponsorship almost sank them. Tony ran a national fundraising campaign, but eventually helped persuade Victorian Premier Bolte to put in the necessary money. The titles were marred by bad surf and drug busts, and Tony resigned after 12 months when he failed to have surfers taking illicit drugs banned from competition. He was a man ahead of his time, as illicit drugs in sport are now taboo. Tony put off entering hospital on 15 April this year to attend a reunion marking 50 years of competition at Bells. It was one of the most satisfying experiences of his life.

He graduated BD from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1960, and was awarded his PhD by Edinburgh University in 1966. On 6 August 1960 he married Tertia le Roux at Stellenbosch, Cape Province, South Africa.

In 1964 he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister and inducted into the charge of College Church, Parkville. Duncan later became a Uniting Church minister. Duncan died at home at Kallista on 29 August 2011.

Donald Max WERNER (’61) was born at Windermere Private Hospital, High Street, Armadale, on 18 August 1943, the son of an optician. He attended Scotch from 1951 to 1962 as a member of Lawson-MacFarland House, developing a lifelong love of Scotch College. He was one of two Junior School Prefects in 1956. Don rowed in three-seat in the 1960 5th VIII and in 1962 coached the winning 6th VIII, starting a history of rowing coaching and support at Scotch. He was a cadet NCO and a member of the 2nd XV. An accountant, he was transferred by J B Were to Perth, Western Australia, in 1966, becoming a dealer in the short-term money market for merchant banker Westralian International Ltd in 1970. On 19 February 1968 he married Margaret Andria Bell at Scotch. She died on 8 July 2001. Their son Colin attended Scotch from 1983 to 1988. Also at Scotch were his cousin Keith Werner (SC 1938-47) and Anderson first cousins once removed Robin (SC 1964-69), James (SC 1968-74), Campbell (SC 1971-76) and Euan (SC 1996-2001).

Don graduated BCom from the University of Western Australia in 1979, in which year he returned to Melbourne, co-coaching the Scotch 2nd VIII. He became a private client advisor at Deutsche Morgan Grenfell and worked in both Perth and Melbourne. Don served OSCA with passion, and was an integral member and a founder of the Cardinal Club from its foundation in 1981. He was its President from 1986-87 and 1991-92 and chaired the funding committee for the Cardinal Pavilion, which was opened in 1994, with the Werner Room named in his honour. More than chairing the fundraising, he was the driving force behind it, and helped give Scotch the best boatshed in Australia. Don also instigated the Cardinal Rowers, which gave Scotch Family members the opportunity to row on Sundays at Scotch, as well as in competition. In 2010 a new VIII was named the Don Werner. He equally threw himself wholeheartedly into the support of rowing at Scotch College, Perth, where a boat also bears his name, as did that of the Western Australian King’s Cup crew. He frequently brought together rowers of the two Scotches.

Don was secretary of the Perth branch of OSCA from 1969 to 1978 and – returning to Perth after his wife’s death – from 2002 to 2006, when he became its president, actively seeking out Old Boys in the West, and getting them along to branch dinners. Despite mostly living in Perth, Don regularly returned to Melbourne for the Foundation Day Concert, the OSCA Annual Dinner, and various rowing dinners and activities. He loved returning to Scotch and catching up with its people.

Don expressed his love of Scotch in practical ways. He was a Trustee of the Scotch College Foundation and a member of the Alexander Morrison Circle. He was a life member of OSCA and a former OSCA Council member. Fittingly, he received an OSCA Merit Award in 2007. Don died at Bethesda Hospital, Claremont, Western Australia on 22 June 2011 after a long battle with cancer. In his last days he spoke of his gratitude for his time at Scotch and his involvement with the Scotch Family, saying, ‘I wanted to give something back to Scotch, as I received so much benefit and pleasure from it.’

James Paul WESTCOTT (’57) was born on 21 March 1940. Known as Jim, he attended Scotch from 1947 to 1957. Also at Scotch was his brother Gerald Eric Westcott (born 29 May 1944, SC 1950-61, died 26 April 1994). On 23 December 1963 Jim married Suzanne Constance Pearce at Scotch. She was the daughter of Sir Eric Pearce of Channel 9. Jim died on 17 May 2011.

John Chaponnel George WILSON (’48) was born on 3 October 1930, the son of a foreman. He attended Trinity Grammar School from 1943 to 1944, leaving to attend Scotch from 1945 to 1947. On 27 February 1954 he married Helen Yvonne Moir at Scotch. Their sons attended Scotch: Guy (SC 1965-73) and Scott (SC 1965-73). John played for the Old Scotch Football and Cricket Clubs, captaining the cricket team, and winning the football team’s 1959 best and fairest award. He was also a member of the Lodge. John worked in the printing and flexible packaging industries, initially with Chas. Steel & Co, but in the mid-1950s he founded Celthene Pty Ltd with his father George, Mal Johnston, and cousin Ken Pitson. In the 1970s 75 per cent of the business was sold to Arnott’s. John became managing director of Celthene and Cardboard Containers in 1972 and retired in 1991. He played bowls at the Riversdale Golf Club, where he twice won the bowling championship. John died on 18 May 2011.
