St Mary’s girls take a breath of sea air
By MURRAY SIMPSON j A small note in a report to the [Lyttelton Harbour Board tabled ! last week observes that on [August 15 seven Form VII pupils and one teacher from St Mary’s College visited the port for an inspection and a discussion about the local ecology. According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary, “ecology" is that brand) of biology dealing with the nabits and modes of ■life of living organisms, and [their relationships with their ! su; roundings. This raises some interesting questions when applied to Lyttelton Given that none but the hardiest specimens in the inner harbour gave up the ghost ages ago — under the combined onslaught of raw effluent, waste oil, and left-over lunches — 'about all that is left still biologic--1 ally kicking is the human population. j The report does not say j whether the girls from St Mary’s [had a serious look at local [human ecology — though, of [course, a day is hardly long [enough to go into the habits and [modes of living of watersiders. [for example. [ The conclusions might have [been Interesting. ■ Then again, consider seamen [interacting with their surroundlings just after closing time. I Time enough to lean: ail about [that, did we hear the teacher i say. I Come back in a few months Itime and they may see the party [faithful going through a rather [obscure ritual known as local[body elections and. if they are [lucky, they may see the extraiordlnary effect a fire siren has [on a volunteer fireman.
