MUSIC The standard of solo instrumental performance in the school continues to be promising. Mrs. Richard's enthusiasm contributed in large measure to the following results, and she has been very much missed by both staff and pupi Is since she and her family !aft .for Cyprus. Mr. Fernandez (piano) and Mr. Abraham (guitar} are now helping td 1maintaln the quality (not to mention the quantity) of our instrumental tuition, Associated Board examinations were held in October, and 路 among the piano pupils, Candy Hullah passed Grade 1 theory and practical; Nicholas Scott, Bethanne Ironside, Emma Dalzell and Stephen Jenkins passed Grade 11 practical. Timothy Richards and Shirin Jospeh gained Merits at Grade 2 with passes in Theory; 1Cliffordj Milne, Anne-Marie Watson and Jasmine Joseph passed Gra d e 2 Theory, Nala Sivarajasingharn passed Grade 2 practical and Tina Timm passed Grade 2 theory; At Grade 3 Seema Khemka passed the practical examination ; at Grade 4 Yolanda Arokiasamy and Stuart .Willey passed with Merit and Roeba Jacob gained an ordinary pass for the practical, while Cathy Ironside passed Grade 4 fheory. In the higher grades only one student passed both practical and theory: this was the special achievement of James Daniel at Grade 5. Ann Jacob , Katie Marsh and S路haron Larsen passed the theory exam at this grade and Timothy Archer passed Grade 6 theory. ' Other instrumentalists did exceptionally well, notably Pamela Watson with a Distinctio n at Grade 3 on flutB. 1-iarvey Spikin gained Merit on cornet at Graue 3, Daniel Gillette passed Grade 4 with Merit on trumpet and at the same grade Rachel Moss passed both practical (clarinet) and theory. Group vocal items have been supplied for the inter-school music festival held at Nazareth Convent and the Scripture Union song service at Ketti. Shakespearean drama offered plenty of scope for the musical imagination, songs being composed within school for a clown (Twelfth Night), fairies (A Midsummer Night's Dream) and Ophelia (Hamlet). There was additional recorder music and other musical effects incorporated. The school band has re-established itself, with Miss Gii bert as indefatigable copyist and conductor. The Junior Sch ool' s Christmas service mainly featl!red "The Holy Boy" by David Palmer. More than half the members of the senior school, including 10 soloists, sang " The Gl c ry of Christmas'' by Jimmy aud Carol Owens, one December eveni1'g at Union Church. This concluded a year of very varied music-making throuJhout t he school.

PRINCIPAL'S REPORT Mrs.

Ironside,

ladies and Gentleman,

Thank you for your presence with us at this meeting and the implied support and concern that it conveys. The activities of this time of year are double~edged as far as we are concerned. We are genuinely glad to see you all and to share the life of the _school with you; we are also pleased, I must admit, when it is all over and we can return to relative peace and quiet. last year Mrs. Smith was our chairwoman and, as I think I said on that occasion, Mrs. Ironside was due to take over from her. We are grateful to Mrs; Ironside for chairing this meeting and for all the work she puts into the school. Our School Council has also been greatly strengthened by the recent additon of Mr. Dennis Fountain, himself an old-boy of the School and the son of a past Council Chairman. I suppose that might be construed as a Protestant version of the Apostolic Succession. There have been some staff changes too, which I ought to report to you, notably the departure on furlougn of Miss Barton, rather earlier than expected because of the poor h9alth of h9r fa~h9r. Mr. James is our new Vice-Principal and Miss Leela Kuruvilla has con~o from Bangalore to teach Mathematics in Miss Barton's place. At the end of 1981 Mrs. Maclennan and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Jenkins left, as did the Cardy family. Miss Wilkins took a brief furlough and during tha time sha was away and the school was in sa路ssion, Miss Raid, an old friend of the school ably deputised for her. New staff this term. in addition to Miss Kuruvilla, are Mr. Bowdler who teaches English, Miss Simkins, the Inter Girls matron at Selborne, end Miss Cook who is now the school nurse. The naed for a new school nurse became apparent when Miss Scanlan had the temerity to get enQaged to Mr. Rafe Vanderwall du~ing the Christmas break. The wedding is in June and wa. hope to be represented on that occasion by Miss McGuire. Miss Scanlan has served the school long and well an :l wa wish her every happiness in her new. I ife. looking ahead we exp~ct the Wallises back at the end of May; joyful news indeed after Mr. Wallis's ru.n of bad health, from which he has now fully recovered. The youngest mgmber of staff. Alison Bromley, arrived last October and is already a firm favourite, having her mother路s good looks and her father's ears ! We have had our share of sorrows as well as joys this year. Alison's twin brother. Daniel, only survived a few days and Judson Milne was killed in an accident just six weeks ago. One of our domestic staff asphyxiated himself with a sigri while on night duty last October, and, though not directly a school matter, the tragic death of Bert Overton last July, came as a great shock to all who knew him. Last year, perhaps rather flippantly, I said that I was looking forward to a year without any emergencies, accidents or disasters. Perhaps there are to be no such years. It is a sobering thought.

We have just completed our first full academic year under the two term system. I wonder how you parents feel about it, Staff and students alike tend to complain about the long terms, but I shouid judge that the new system is working well. We certainly appreciate having the examination students with us for the month of May. Our O level G. C. E. examination results last year (1981) were particularly encouraging. We had 19 entrants from Standard XI. Nobody came away emptyhanded and all· but three had results good enough to enable them ·to go on for further studies whether here at Hebron or elsewhere. The A level results were, once again, not as good. We enjoyed a m3sterly analysis of the viability and validity of our A level courses from Miss Barton at the end of last term. I wish you had all been 1here to hear it One of the basic messages was that wa need more people in our A level courses, so as to provide more competition and a wider ability range. Quite apart from examination results, our students seem to continue to fit in well to other schools when they leave, both socially and academically. In the absence of compcHa bla achools by which to judge our performance, this fact is an encouraging one. The music examination results were also encouraging, (I am referring now t o tlrn Associated Board exams last October) 20 of the 24 candidates passed, vvith one distinction and six merits, and 13 out of 14 candidates passed the theory exam . The music department has missed Mrs. Jeanne Richards this term but wa have been glad to have the help of Mr Clement Fernand ez who has tak en on some of h er pup i ls . In general we have seen some expansio n of musical activiti es at H ebron since Miss Fl etcher took over the Dep art ment. There is increa s in g provision of music in the curriculam and we are lookin g forward to the a rrival in August of Miss Janet Munson, wh o is a hi ghly qualified solo musician, and in particular will t~ach vio .l in. Outstanding musical events over the past year were the lovely Christmas mu sic i n Decemb er and the school's musical contribution to the Scripture U n ion Se rvice and the Inter-School Mu s ic Festival. The orchestra is a regular feature of the school and a school choir performs from time to time. Last year I commented on the variety of sports activities at Hebron and I think it would be fair to boast about that a gain. Th ere ·is so much g oing on on tha sports field and so many different sorts of activities that in the end most people g et i nclud ed Perhaps, because ·Ne do not concentrate on just a few sports, we do not d o as well as we might in Inte r-S c hool competition, but even there our re cord is good . particularly in view of the siLe of most of our rival schools. During the past year we carried off the championship in the super senior g irls ba sk etball and w e re runners-up in the junior division. In the Inter - Sc hool athl e t i c spo r ts Cathy Ironside was an overall second in the Senior Girls cha mpionsh ip an d the senio r g irls relay team cam e first. At school. Stua r t Wil l ey bro ke four rec ords a c this y ea rs Swimming Sports a nd Darshan Ambalavanar our su p er - enthusiastic crick et captain, has broken all · rec ords by claiming more than 125 wickets in his car eer to date.

To my mind, last year (the calendar year) was outstanding for its drama, and I am referring here to what took place on the stage! Under the able and enthusiastic guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Jenkins no fewer than four full length Shakespeare productions were attempted: Twelfth Night (which you saw last parent's day). A Midsummer Night's Dream, Love's Labour's Lost and, most notably Hamlet. John Skirrow's performance as Hamlet, which deservedly won the Best Actor award a-t the Drama Festival.was unforgettable. In addition there were splendid productions of Stoppard's "The Real Inspect.or Hound". Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest", and Chekhov's ''Three Sisters"â&#x20AC;˘ I think drama is over and above many an activity a worthwhile investment for a school. It encourages team-work and comradeship, it promotes personal confidence. it is self-forgetful and, if it is anything like the show we saw last night, it is enjoyed by performers and audience alike. It has the ancillary advantage .of bringing out unexpected characteristics in the actors. I had always thought of Ben John (TimotMy Bellboys from last night) as a quiet boyl Pastor and Mrs. Jenkins, from Union Church, have been on furlough forthe past six months or so. and we have missed them, but we have been so grateful for the ministry of Pastor Sunder David and his wife during their absence. The Jenkins are due back at the end of July. Sarne of our students go to St. Stephen's and to Bethel Chapel on leave weekends, and we have appreciated the ministry of those churches too. Rev. Dorai at St. Stephen's, a relativalv new incumbent, is already a trusted friend of Habroni The Prayer Breakfast and the Youth Fellowship, voluntary activities for senior students, are still very well attended and others have stepped into the leadership shoes left by Mr. Cardy. The school's health has been quite reasonable this year and we are grateful to our consultant physician, Dr. Mahadevan, for his help, Several of the staff and students have had hepatitis, but wa have not been able to track down any particular source of infaction. We have decided to chlorinate our water supply and the work on that should be completed by the end of term. However we do not think that will make much difference to the war on hepatitis. We note. rather ruefully, that hepatitis seems, to be on theÂˇ increase India-wide. I have attempted to review our regular activities but I should also like to pick out some of the more off-beat features of the school. The pigs continue to thrive arid have got a very smart new residence. This is one of the few new structures which we have put up this year. after a long spell of building. We havi:l, however, added a new bridge between. the teaching block and the grass bank. and this will enable more rapid access to the Art Room and the Domes~ic Science Room, In terms of new equipment the school has

recently been givan a new.v.ideo ..re.cord.er - not vet installed - and we are hoping to put this to good educational use and perhaps recreational use as wellj Oh a compfotelv different :front, but linked with the reality of a student :body which has a Western bias, we have been trying to develop our Careers .s-ervice to the school leavers. Mrs. Pill works hard at this and we have assembled a number of materia_ls, but our student body is so diverse, that we ·coui d always do with more up-to-date information. . This is by way of an appeal to parents to work on our behalf in this respect ·all contributions ~ratefulJy rece.i~eq. The matter of careers opportunities today, is a vexed quest}ori iri. an_ in.creasin.gt_y competitive world. . . We hav~ been ·concerned recently, about a slow but steady decline in rumbers in the ove·rali enrolmi:rnt of the school. There have been plenty of ~pplications, but suitable students are not necessarily presenting themselves. In October the Principal and his wife went on a recruiting trip to Bangl=:idesh, Nepal and North India. We are grateful for all those who so kindly looked after -us on our travels. For whatever reason I am glad to report that we expe'ct a slight rise in numbers for the new academic year and as I have said, this is the first time this has happened for some years. W.e expect to start .the. new academic year with about 220 students while we have 208 on the .roll ' at .present. · · Finally, I wish to thank you all for your conce~n and support during this past year and o~er the years. We on the staff are your a gen.ts, just sQme of the agents in fact, in the process of providing an environment in which your chi-ldren will flourish. It is our responsibility and our joy· fo see· this happening. May God, the Father, from whom e\lery family on earth is named, support us all in this task. To Him be the glory.

JUDSON MILNE Judson Milne was killed in an accident on Saturday 6th March. 1982. His class teacher, Miss Grimes, gave this appreciation of Judson's life at the funeral service. The poem that follows is by another staff member and is based on M.iss Grimes' appreciation and other themes which arose at the time of the funeral. My first knowledge of Judson as a parson was during the early part of last year when I was teaching Standard 4â&#x20AC;˘ One of the boys in that form said to me "Judson is such a kind person'~ - a fine tribute from a younger boy. It was also about that time, when he was in Standard 4, that he sought me out to discuss the welfare of the guinea pig, and his interest and concern was faithfully maintained once he came into Standard 5, (among a wealth of other interests) and it was then that I really got to know and love him. During his time in Standard 5 Judson both worked and played hard, and well deserved a place near the top of the form academically. On the Games field he was an able team member practising with enthusiasm to improve his performance and getting slightly impatient with fellow team members whoÂˇ did not see the need for such dedication, He earned a position of respect and popularity which he rightly deserved. His spirit of adventure also made him a leader, and it was. in fact. this adventurous spirit which finally cost him his life. In Scripture lessons he was always eager to take part and his thoughtful contribution enriched discussion times in school, and in the dormitory During times of prayer, he was always keenÂˇ to be among those who prayed aloud. His leadership qualities will, indeed, leave a gap hard to fill both in and out of the classroom. He was thoughtful over practical things as well, and often offered suggestions for day to day classroom routine. The final Junior School Assembly in which Judson participated was a time of praise and worship, and although Standard 5 and Silverdale will mourn his absence in body, we can rejoice to think of him continuing that hymn of praise in the immediate presence of his Redeemer and King.

LEASEHOLD EXPIRED He was always activo, forever running and leaping, laughing and smiling. sowing and reaping.

The Lord knew his worries his joys and his excitements, sharing and caring watching and holding;

Was Judson fo rgotten? Had God loosened his grip? Nol It was time . His lease time was up.

Jud now is in heaven with his Father In glory, our turn is coming; Are we each pre ;:i ared?

Death comes to everyone, yot Christ has defeated death. Where is thy sting now? Christ has overcome .

Written in memory of Judson Milne; included with family's permission.

An.B,

BERT OVERTON

"The Beloved of the Lord dwell in satew by Him'' (Deuteronomy 33: 12) "Everybody's Friend" was how a Tasmanian magazine described Bert Overton. An inveterate tease; there wasn't a sing I~: lady missionary (irrespective of age) to whom he' had n·ot promised a booking in the Honeymoon Suite in the Lalitha Mahal Hotel in Mysore .on the occasion of her marriage. Indian and European alike appreciated his fun. On different occasions, driving around South India with the Oveoon.s, 1. was impressed at the number of salutes, smiles and ~tops there Were. Bert took the time to get to know people. He cared about them and th9Y kriaw it. Bert had a long association with Hebron during the years when ''Ovi'' (Philip) as he was affectionately known. was a pupil here. During all that time no year went by without some m,.ember or m!lml;>ers ..of Hebron staff spending Christmas at Malavalli, ~nd indeed other holidays as well. The boys' home and farm at Malavalli are a cred[t to Bert and _Elma's 30 years of service in that arid area. That it is stiJI running su~cessfu.lly now that he has been removed is a tribute to his forward thinking a:1d ma king the work selfsupporting, From the letters Elma received it WJS evija;it that there are men all over India who regard Be.rt and Elm3 as true fath9r and ·m)th~r and are grateful to them for t!Hir years in th:i-boys' h:nH and for the loving soiritual and secular education they receivad. An.d of course Philip had a special relationship and was so looking forward to his Dad coming home for Christmas. In later years many people, Hebron parents included. appreciated his ministry at Montauban. Without Elma, he was half the man and it was always a great joy to him when she arrived to '·do the season". Sha had planned to be back in Tasmania by 20th July, 1981 but som'lhow, s'ha was still in Montauban when the news came that Bart had b3en brutally murdered as he travelled on one.of his pastoral· missions in Chickmagalur District. If ha could hava.'know"n, Bert would hava bean so proud of Elma in the days that followed. As the initial shock and numb~ess gav·a way to thoughts of the future without him, she continued to liva secure in l<nowing that the God who had called them to India, had kept tham all those years, had allowed this terrible tragedy and was not going to stop caring for her, and her faith and calm acceptance encouraged us greatly. "The beloved of the Lord dwell in safety by Him" was the assurance that was with me all that day when the news reached Ooty and two of us took off with Elma to investigate Our faith is truly one of paradoxes and events like this prove that God can bring joy out of sorrow and peace out of pain. We don't understand but we are compelled to accept and trust. That Bert who was "everybody's friend'' should end his days in India in this way is inexplicable at the moment, but who knows what blessing is going to result? Bert's God is still sovereign.

MEDICAL REPORT The August / Ottcember term last year was a busy one _as. far as the hospital was conc~rned There were several cases of 路 trepatltis 11mong staff and students. Also one case of measles and one of mumps. We give thanks to the Lord for answered prayer in. no-t --all:awing 路 these diseasa.s to reach epidemic proportions. There was o~e surg-icai case referred fo Vellore, t~o- , broken bones and the usual variety of mhioi .ailmenls The F\ebruary/June term has been considerably quieter; the hospital having no _in-:P~tients for unusally long periods. This past year has seen several tragedies - the death of a Selborne night-watchman, the loss of Tim & Deirdre Bromley's son Daniel, second of their twins, and Judson Milne's fatal accident.路 We, as a body, have all felt these losses greatly, but we have also known the sustaining po路Ner of God through it all. The addition of beautiful baby Alison Bromley to our family gives us reason for rejoicing. Our thanks rise to God fo'r restoring Deirdre to full health after a period of severe illness following delivery. The school Medical Officer, Dr. D. Mahadevan conducts weekly clinics here and is availab.le if called on at any time. We appreciate very much his care and genuine concern for students, staff, and servants alike. Sr. Rosalie Scanlan has resigned and returned ta Australia to prepare for her marriage in June. She has given seven years of dedicated service to the school, not only in the madical field, but in many other areas as well. We shall miss her greatly, and we wish her every happiness and God's rich blessing on her marriage. Sr. Pat Cook has wil I inqly stepped in to fill the gap as school nurse until the end of this term. We are trusting the Lord for continued health and well-being in our community. Kay. McGuire

Golds easily won that. Yeah I Kate Jame.s, Standard Six

"On your marks, get set, go !" ·•Go! Go! Hurry up Blues! Up Golds.'' There was terrific shouting. For the first few races Blues were winning. The scora wa.s 51-19. . But . pl owly and surely Golds started catching up. The Golds overtook the Blues but then something terrible . The next race had no Gal ds in it. Shoot! Blues overtook the Golds.

CRICK路ET - REPORT 1982 This year we had an interesting if not a successful time Jn the Super Senior cricket. It was interesting as, for a change, we had more than games to play. As three teams had entered the tournament it was conducted as a League, The other two teams were St. J~.sephs and Breaks. Before playing any tournament games, we played Breaks in a friendly match. In their 25 overs, they made 77 fo路r 4. After a slight collapse we recovered to beat them by 6 wickets. We then played Breaks in the tournment proper. It was a 30 overs match. They were all out for 97. 路 When we batted our batsman coliapsed against an attack they had mastered only a week ago and were all out for 88. We then played St. Joseph's against whom we did not expect to achieve much, and did not. We batted first, and made 66 for 9. It was more of a determined effort than one of skill. Neil Willey who opened the innings was struck on the head and had to retire. but returned later to score some useful runs. Joseph's quickly rattled up the required runs, with the loss of only one wicket. After the tournament we played a friendly game against the Government Arts College. They batted first and scored 140. Jn return we made 81 for 8 in our allotted overs, losing by 59 runs.

We played four other matches, but these were amongst ourselves. Three of them were inter house matches; the other one was the annual staff vs students match and, as expected, we won. We batted first and scored 132 for 3. The highlight of th!t innings was an unbeaten 50 by Neil Willey. The staff only managed to make 69 for 9 in their allotted time In the house matches Gold were expected to win, bu.t overconfidence caused them to lose the first match to Blue. However, they managed to win the ser路ies 2-1. In the first match Blue batted first and made 94 for 9, in reply Gold made only 71. In the second match Gold played as well as they should have done in the first match, and won quite easily. Blue were all out fo'r 26, Gold used their full batting time to score 146 for 4. In the third match Gold batted first, and suffered an early collapse but recovered t6 make 79. Blue were bowled out for 42. Ian Rees took a ~hat trick in one over in which he took 4 wickets.

BASKETBALL As in previous years we entered all 3 di.visions in the Inter-School tournament . Our inter team were somewhat swamped and went out in the first round. The senior team did somewhat better and reached the semi-fina I round of their division . With a little more determination and tighter play I believe they could have passed this hurdle and reached the final. In a very close n.atch the super-seniors narrowly lost to St. Joseph's, who were the eventual runners up. The tournament was not on the whole a particularly enjoyable one; as there was considerable ill feeling between various schools which showed itself in their style of play. The organisation also left a lot to be desired. On the Home scene gold took both boy's divisions and the junior girls divisions, blue only managing to win the senior girls division. Our girls fared much better at the Inter School basketball tournament held in Coonoor.

Three of our teams rea:;hs) their pa~-ticular :finals. The super-senior and senior teams winning and the juniors narrowly losing to Stanes. The Junior team are particularly to be commended as for much of the second half they played with only 4 players. The sub-Junior girls tournament was abandoned. _ In 1982 due to a re-shuffle in the sports calendar the basketball tournament was held in March. - For one reason or another we only entered one division whlch we managed to win.

J. r.:P.

HOCKEY REPORT This year we probably entered the weakest team we have ever had, to take part in the tournament. We played only one game, and that was against Lawrence. I missed. the game due to an~ ankle injury but I do not think I would have enjoyed playing as we lost 11-0. The senior inter-house matches were both drawn and Gold then won on penalties. The first game was a nil all draw. the secon路d game was a 1 - 1 draw. M. Zaki scored a very good go~I for Blue. I equalised fer Go id with a very scrappy goal. Hockey is dyin.g out in Hebron (amongst the boys),_ especially in the senior section. Hopefully there will bEI a resurgence and we w!ll _start to produce some good teams again. D. Ambalavanar.

·... CROCODILE ISLAND My ship was shipwrecked on a stormy night. I got on a piece of wood and I had to sleep there the whole night. In the morning I saw that I h.ad floated to a mountainy island. I swam to the sandy bank and tried to find ·a way to get. up. I found quite a good way but when I was near the top I fell down and got quite a big cut in my leg. But I had to try to get to the top so I didn''t worry much about my leg so I tried to climb up again. After a big struggle I got up. First I had to think of a way to get food. Ah, I've got it. I have to make a bow and arrow and then ·I would have to hunt. I was hungry by. now so the first thing I made was a bow and arrow. I got some twigs and made one but there was one problem where was the elastic? I felt in my pocket and sure enough there was some string so I fixed it on the bow. Now came the sc~ry bit. I had to go hunting. I set off. There were a lot of birds so I shot some birds. I got some twigs and· leaves and built a fire. I roasted the birds and a·te them. After that I got into a tree and slept; In the morning I walked through a forest and up and down some grassy hills and up a mountain, I looked about and. saw that there were a lot more mountians so I climbed down again and climbed another mountian. I climbed. up a lot more mountains. When I climbed the last mountain I found a big family of bears. Quickly I got my bow and arrow and shot the lot of them.

KIDNAPPED

It was a bright summer niorni g and I was walking o·n the lawn. My mother told me not to go past the g te wltihout some·one big. Here I was rooking over it. I saw a man wal ·ing along the· sidewalk towards me. Suddenly I wa;; stru.ck from behind. Everyt.bing went. blaek. When r regained consciousness again I found myself n a small room. I heard voices outside. The room I was in was filled with s oke and the odour of food. · ••it must ba about two hours that I was uncons ious:' I said to m~/self in a whispering tone. I felt my head •. There I had I-ump which ached a lot. I la\Y down to resti • Then I heard a creak and the oor opened. A man came in. I could not make out the distinguished figu e because of the misty gloom. I heard a voice say, ••Here is your lunch, boy: Then the door closed. What did they want with me? Ransom? Servant? I te my l1:1nch thinking. In the evening 1 could see the room more clearly. M ybe I could find a way out. I went to the door and tried the knob. It was useless. But wait! In the faint sunlight I could see but the edge of a small t ap door nearby! I walked up to it and bent down. I started tugging at it. Then I heard a splinter, and the trap door came into my hands. Underne th I saw a boat. Then my fear ra.ised. I . was scared. The crooks might cat h me. I picked up my bravery and descended down the steep stairs. uck was with me. The ignition key.was there. I was afraid as I turned on t e ignition. Then with a roat the mntor came to life and so did the sound of running feet. I turned towards the bay door and the boat crashed throu;:ih. I found myself in open sea. Where should I go now? Maybe I will find omething in the quarters of the boat. Inside I found my position in sea an a shortwave transmitter. I turned on the transmitter.

When I had finished they left one man to protect me, and went off in the directionof the hideout. They came back twenty five minutes late with their boat full of crooks! "You little sneak!" growled the leader of them I was driven home later. When my mother saw me she said, "T Id you not fo look past the gate, didn't I?" 1

THE SEAGULLS The seagulls wait, Watching the water with a beady eye, Hovering gently getting ready to swoop, Their white wings gently flapping in the breeze. Suddenly the net comas up and the fish struggle and get left bah ind, In an instant there is a flash of white wings, and the seagulls are on their prey. The net is pulled up and they fly away, But they still wait, till they see their next prey. Malango Mughogho. Standard Six. THE VULTURE

I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP fl It was to be dad's birthday tomorrow, What could I get? Hmmml thought. A cake! Of course! I woluld make him a cake! Mum would not let me take any of her ingredients. Uuugh! She couldn't trust me. So I took a pound of lard. two eggs, icing sugar. baking powder, and flour, put them in a bag and hid them under my bed. Two hours later Mum had gone to visit Gran who lived two streets away and Dad had gone away to a conference. I crept out of the house, just in time, for Mum had unexpectedly come back. To Dad's lab I headed. Of course the door was locked, but luckily a window was open (so fresh air could get in). I climbed through and laid the bag down. Where could I get utensils for cooking? Five minutes later I had obtained two test tubes, a cylinder, a bowl, a pair of gloves, a stand, tongs and a thermometer. I cracked the eggs into the bowl and measured three cups full of milk . The milk was from the pint Dad kept for his coffee. I put the milk into the measuring cylinder. It became too full so I poured half into the test tube. I missed the test tuba and the milk spilled all over me. Anyway I poured the milk ir.to the bowl and started beating with the thermometer. Suddenly there w<1s a crack and the thermometer snapped. So I used the tongs instead. Now the flour was in a paper bag pushed to the bottom of th!! carrier bag. I yanked and tugged and pulled at the paper bag. A tremendous rip broke the air so suddenly that I fell back onto the test tubes, and onto the floor we crashed, smashed and tumbled. Now Dad's lab had a carpet of flour and smashed glass. After recovering myself I collected as much flour as I could off the floor and mixed it with the eggs and milk. A flavouring was needed so after looking around I obtained some hydrochloric acid. I had brought out two other bottles to look at. Silver nitrate and ether. Hydrochloric acid has a stron~ vinegar taste. hasn't it? Never mind. I realised it was a little dangerous too. A vinegar cake wouldn't be too bad would it? At last a strong mixture formed. Thel'l I decided I would heat the mixture. So over the bunsen burner I placed a stand, over that gauze then the mixture . Gas is what I wanted now. Not that switch, not that handle. Hmmml This one of course! I turned on the gas, lit a match and waited and waited No light. BurninJ my finger in the process I tried again but to no avail. Ether! Of course! So I poured a little down the bunsen. Immediately a flame tore its way up the bunsen burner. An exploding crack. fol lowed by an equally loud crackle of flames-. All of my hard work was oozing out of the now cracked bowl. Now the flame was roaring away. I had to stop it! With all my might I tried to screw the flame off. I pulled and pulled, and suddenly the bunsen's top half toppled over and landed on the table . Gas was pourin~ out! I could really smell it! I tried to switch off the handle It was too stiff! With the ton gs I twisted the handle, and pulled at it. until suddenly it snapped . More ga s kept coming! More and more! Tha bottle full of ether was in reach of the gas and thti lid was off! Help! I rushed for the bottle, handkerchief over my mouth. My hand shaking clumsily. I knocked the bottle on to the now half bunsen. An explosion, a smash of glass end a dense smell of smoke and fire were my last sensations. I awoke surprised at where I was and what I was wearing. My mother and father were around me . Questions of care and amazing curiosity were flung at me. How are you, Love? What hapoenP.d? How did you do it? Where does it hurt? My only reply was: "I was only trying to help and oh, I forgot. Happy Birthday Dad." Timothy Watson Standard Seven.

As the sun rose, the sounds of men yawning came from the cabin and soon after they were on the deck. What were they going to do today? Came the answer from the mocking sea - toil all day. As men gobbled down their little morsels. their thoughts were· afar. They thought of home and comfort, yet the hideous echo came ringing through - never.

BY NIGHT

Instead of stars, many lights light up the main stre•ts. The side streets are dark and quiet in comparison. the light from the main street not reaching that far. The city by night is different from the city bV day. In the day, shop windows are not lit up with a cascade of light to show their wares to the best advantage. In the day, the neon s1igns and advtrtlsements are not shown in their full glory. In the day, dark snadows from allays do not warn people to keep out. In the day. large off ice blocks are not silent and deserted, quietly awaiting the coming day.

It is strange to see the busy shopping centres after dark. The shops shut, their window displays shining brightly on late-night window shoppers. The silent, brooding office blocks rise up into the darkness in uncounted storeys. The lighted telephone kiosks forming lighted islands in a deserted sea. Than there is the bright side of town; the nightclubs, casinos, hotels, restaurants -full of laughter-spilling brightly dressed people out into the streets with happy abandon. The amusement arcades are loud with music blaring, shouts and laughter. The excitement of games and matches played under spotlights lend to the whole scene an unreal atmosphere as the light fades into darkness. Kamini Fernando. Yet there are places In the city at night where a man may relax-,..his own home in the suburbs. Here it is lively, but in a peaceful way. and the soft sound of laughter from a peaceful dinner party can be heard right down the road on the clear, night air. There is light from the houses, but it is soft, relaxing I ight, unlike that of the glaring city centre. Here is acceptance; here is peace. Jeremy Witchalls. A Montage essay by Standar.d Ten.

PIGS MIGHT FLY An On-the-Spot Report

From Standard Ten

The age old saying is all too soon going to be a reality. The Hebron school pig farm was not set up. as some people think, as a new toy for Mr; Twynam-Perkins, or indeed as a means of giving the school a new rural odour. or to get lnterdorm boys up at six o'clock to teed them, or to get people's clothes well and truly mucky. The above reasons are just mere subterfuges for "Pig my". This stands for ''Pigs might yayviate" (yayviate is the Tamil word for aviate). The plans for "Pigmy" were made one Monday night fast year, before mid - term break, in a rather clandestine staff meeting. It w as decided to purchase the nigs and start experiments straight away. But careful calculations discovc that they had to be a certain size to obtain enough lift to fly. So thi -. January Mr. Pattemore. Mr. Twynam-Perkins, Mr. Pill- and Dr. Mobley started experiments, and the progress that has been ma d e is phenomenal. Mr. Pattemore disclosed that they would have not only Flying Pigs but Pigs In Orbit within three years. They even have pla .1s P. 0. M. I and P. O. M. II (Pigs on the Moon and Pigs on Mars). Hebron School is five years ahead in this field. by Andrew Wyatt.

With an Observer's Comment:I have often seen an 'Elephant Fly', but not a 'Pig Fly'! Flying pigs would be a continuous hazard to aeroplanes of all types and they would undoubtedly be the 'Kings of the Air'. It is obvious that if pigs could fly, then the price of bacon would go up and pig manure down .â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ That well known sport of clay pigeon shooting would be replaced by clay pig shooting. This would be a great advantage for those of us who do not have such a good eye for shooting. The pig hunting season would probably start in summer. The only possible form of combating this threat from the heavens would be to have reinforced umbrellas inverted. and all roofs made three times the strength ! by Julian Wheeler.

PRIVATE PERFORMANCE Waking early, warm and languid still, I ventured a hand from my swaddling To draw the blind, and turned, Expecting nothing from the dawn, To watch the fragile darknes~ melt away.

Black curtains turne.d to g~ey And si1ver, 路路silently drawn aside; c While silver and grey the backclo.th hung, Sketched in with trees, and pencil led strands of Morning Glory spilling down.

."---

Unwilling to stir, or plan, or even hope, I lay, content to be And see a blush of gold suffuse the sky, '' A touch of ochre stain the bank. A wash of timid green the leaves: .

The sudden overture begun: A bird, then two; a third, A song of interwoven strands of pain and incoherant joy, And only I awake to hear it sung.

And still the morning brightens, Heightens tips and tassles of each tree : Dusts the grass and gleams the stones With gladness, and for me, The fire-edged wattle reaches for the sun.

Till each blade stands alone>itself, And each bud br'eathless, silent, waits, Sensing the hush before the last act starts; The grand finale. With unconcious steps Peter com~s whistling down the path.

A PLAY BY OSCAR :w1LDE~ .

A Std. Nine production for· th.a' November 1981:' •Drama Festival' Day and night we toiled :for a; .final· pub I ic performanc.e. A whole month's travail.went in, with ~arnest. effort, to perform it. Also missing (much to our delight) the. Linliked English classesi Silent murmurs were heard walking around the school as the'actors learnt their words, but some proved inoarnest in their learning as was seen on the final day. The costumes were. arran·ge.d hurriedly three days before the perJormance. It took much trouble in moving the expensive and delicat~ staffroom furniture to the sta.ge, and to set up ·a dear old tree' in a flower pot five hours before the performance.· · · · · · There was also much quarr'elling between the actors and. the. class o.n how to act one's part. And bec.ause of this our practice time was cut out. So Mrs. Jenkins cut out unnecessary speeches to save our lost time. · proc:ju~er

Our minds got hectic when Cecily (Seema Khemka) was admitted to the school hospital a week before the play. But Shirin Joseph was able to take her place, learning to act and speak perfectly, coming second best actor out of the play.

It was thought of postponing the play when the steward (Brett Hui lah) was admitted to hospital a day before the performance. Justin Locke learnt to be a good steward, and how to carry the china pots just in time. The final performance dawned. and the play commenced reasonably well. In the first act the actors prompted each other making it too obvious. It was worse in the second act as the young ladies skipped into the third act. However it ended up making sense and being appreciated by some, We then had to resume our unliked English classes, ending up with a question on the play in the exam. by Danny Gillette and Shanmugam Doreswamy

A COMMENT-ON HAMLET Hamlet, to most of the cast. was a very hard play to . act, I, as the Queen, found some parts too hard to get the way they were required. In many rehearsals we would go over one piece five or six times. Some of the re_hearsals used to get out of路 hand. Mr. Jenkins would tell us we had to be serious and then someone from back stage would say something or laugh and we would all collapse into hysterics. The funniest thing that happened was in our final performance. Ashwin. who was being carried in as the deceased Ophelia, was accidentally dropped into the grave. He disappeared with a cry of astonishment and arms and legs everywhere which made the rest of us laugh. I then had to go forward and throw flowers ori the grave and Ashwin was sitting laughing al the bottom.

I am sure we all enjoyed doing Hamlet even with all Its ups and downs, and felt at the end that it had been a success. Rachel Moss Standard Eleven.

A PENNY FOR A SONG

JOHN WHITING

Though Ht ostensibly in 1804, in an England threatened by· the possible invasion of Napolean's French army, the author asks questions about the point of war, and the effects it has on people. The adults, Sir Timothy Bellboys, Lamprett Bellboys, and Hestor Bellboys treat it all like a game; they can only see it as a child's game. The only ones ·to treat it seriously are Edward Sterne end Dorcas Bellboys. Between these two extremes, Hallam Mathews acts as a foil for the various types of radical isim. Edward, with his experience as a mercenary, sums up the attitude of many, He is not a coward, but it is commonsense. •'Don't stand under a flag, stay far away from anybody in a fine bright uniform, take a look at the sun so that you always know which way you're running, if there's a loaf o.f bread about put it in your pocket. and if there is a hole in the ground, sit in it." Though it Is written in a comic medium, and is referred to as a comedy, the underlying comments and meanings a.re very serious.

. . J~' A PENNY FOR A

LAUGH'f''· .

Hebron School's Parerits'Day Productio~ fa~ April f982 was "A Penny· fOr a Song" by John Whiting; After some- weeks hard work it was pllt on; first for the school, then for the visitors and finally for the parents. . O~r ~cting depended largely on the mood of the audience-where they were appreciative the play went off very wall. Our first audience, being a bunch of critical students and, unfortunately knowing the members of the cast, ma·naged to laugh at all the Wrong things, such as when· the explosiv& would not ignite. One consolation was Mr. lngleby sitting in the· front row addi11g his "Heh, heh, heh'~·· at the appropriate times. Our visitors' audience was perhaps the best because right from the start they caught on to the jokes and even faughed at them. TJle cast t . ~:erefore relaxer:f ~nc;l enjoyed themselv~s jmrnensely, The last perfotrnance was still ·a vast improvement on the first :but not as good as that done for"the visitors. .Cast members were very aware that their parents ware present. Some of the comments were: ·. - ' ' '

a parent: •·well done, but not a play I would have picked." a visitor :

"Very enjoyable. thing". ·

·Everyone entered into the spirit of the

Cast :

" I enjoyed it but didn't like catching up on thu preps.'.'. · "Tharoughly enjoyed myself bµt perh1Jps too many irrelevant speeches which mad~>tha thing· rather long;"·· · "Too much work, but wal I worth it.''

Students:

~·Good acting but the choice of play could have been better.' . Francis Archef (named by request). · •

"Well casted". Th.a general agreement was that it was too long and not a play that our school audience could really appreciate: {Thay not being intellectual enough).

Our thanks to Miss Bateman for doing our costumes and generally encouraging us, to Mr. lngleby for listening to peoJ<)le say. their words and still laughing at them when he heard them in the pla·y, and ino'st of all to Mr. Bowdler for putting in the time and effort to attempt to make it a worthwhile production.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is basically a aroup of students with one boy and one girl from each senior class. The Council urings up any complaints, requests or suggestions from their clac;ses. and the staff representative takes the matters to the s:taff meeting where they are discussed and a decision reached and given to the Student CouncitÂ°which is then given to the classes by the representatives â&#x20AC;˘. Some of the requests brought up this term have been for more games particularly on Saturdays; improvements in the dormitories or girls changing rooms; and for more place for standard eleven students to study in peace and quiet. One of the complaints has been about the canteen coupon system which has nevertheless proved very successful. A variety of suggestions have been made including the reorganizing of weekend activities so that they do not clash with other activities; and the distribution of privileges, e.g. swimming in groups of three or more without staff supervision for competent swimmers who have passed a test. In general, I think the staff greatly appreciate the Student Council for hs role and usefulness in helping the school to be a better place for all concerned. It also gives the school a democratic nature in that the students do have the opportunity to express their feelings and help run the schooli David Blackmore. (Secretary) Standard _Eleven

CANTEEN CORNER The canteen was given a new lease of life with the aid of two important events; events which should indeed be recorded in the history of the canteen. Firstly, to reveal a few secrets .•• Ssh .•• One of the rather major reasons for these two events was that the canteen was facing quite a serious financial crisis. This was met with grave consultation and in November, 1981 a challenging and adventurous idea was born. The Feta was a canteen sponsored affair which involved most of the senior school, whose participation is to be commended. It was advertised by colourful, picturesque posters pasted about the school grounds. The site of this grand occasion was the basketball court which was transformed into an area of laughter (as in the 'Chuck the Wet Sponge Stall' - of course the target was a member of staff) and unwavering concentration. {i.e ••. table-tennis against Super-Champ Darshan; arm-wrestling against the only He-man available, Maju; guessing the weight of a most scrumptious looking cake made in the fine kitchens of Llanelly). The evening turned out to be bitterly windy and cold • thus hot coffee was provided (charged, of course) for anyone who was sensible enough to avoid getting a bout of pneumonia. The canteen sold its usual variety of sweets, biscuits and soft drinks, and added to this menu hot dogs and hamburgers. Other stalls sold toffee apples and doughnuts. Unfortunately these did not remain open for long because of their popularity. As space disappears rapidly, the tales of this blustery evening must dwindle, yet I hasten to add that the canteen made Rs. 600/- profit which was well used-for a new gas ring was acquired and debts repaid. The summer term of 1982 resulted in a more exciting event. The Moonlight Magnifica was held on the pleasant, luxurious and comfortable grounds surrounding thd swimming pool. Tables were placed romantically under a moonlit sky and entertainment never ceased. To enlighten the most privileged people of the senior school, staff and visitors; Antrap, the Lushington Orchestra. Bowdler's Boys and comedians each produced their own essence of originality in their items. Ravishing waitresses flitted around the dining area in black attire - completed with pink waistcoats, and bowties, while dashing waiters were also dressed in fitting style. Yet, behind scenes, all was not as smooth as it sounds. Spaghetti bolognaise, pancakes and hamburgers were being cooked most superbly behind the bar; yet panic was ever present, resulting in sometimes sharp words or convulsions of laughter. Much prepatation was put -into the whole proceedings· e. g. many peeled and fried 15 kgs of chips and certainly there was much clearing up to be done after a tiring yet enjoyable evening. Profit was good. However, momentarily the canteen is in urgent need of willing helpers, for there are only too few conscientious students concerned for the empty stomachs of their fellow pupils.

SLUSHBORNES ON HOLIDAY Perhaps you have not heard of those wonderful creatures. the Slushbornes, before 7 What is so fascinating about their species is the way they differ so much from one another in age, size, shape and rank, yet form such a close community, that they become delightfully alike. Over a period of less than a week, coincidently at the same time as the school's mid-term break, a pack of Slushbornes were sighted at Abhyaranyam, in the Mudumalai Wild life Sanctuary, They chose to take up residence at a secluded bungalow, and it was rather interesting observing their living habits. To recount a few; they had a keen sense of sharing out the work of making the place feel comfortable and of looking after daily necessities, of which preparing the food definitely held ultimate importance. They, interestingly enough, tend to spend time e:;iting, sleeping and indulging in leisurely activities when they settle in a place, and in their constant search to avoid any signs of human contact, they endeavoured to â&#x20AC;˘get in touch' with nature. Together, they would have fun bathing in the cool, murky river waters, or go thrashing through the overgrown jungle in the hopes of sighting other wild animals of different species. Often they abandoned their usual form of speech patterns and gave way to grunts, squeals and whooping, and towards the night the females had the habit of cackling hysterically, much to the annoyance of the sleepy males. Such were some of the few times any signs of hostility were shown by the males, who otherwise have been known to resent common female ~lushbornes. At. times I ike these it was refreshing to observe signs of chivalry, along with the instinctive male dominance. . On Saturday. when one would have expected to find the Slushbornes indulging to the fullest in that leisurely activity of napping, the females of the party took their leave and, a day before the rest of the group, they made their way to Mysore. While sojourning there at a cosy little place called 'Greens' they roamed freely around the Maharajah's Palace, trekked around the main shopping centre (for this feminine streak for window-shopping is as ancient as creation), and they took a certain fancy to Kampala Ice Cream Parlour II The whole party spent two days in Mysore, and during their stay there they seemed to develop the need for fizzy drfoks, shade and the coolness of electric fans and at night, they took to the shelter of mosquito nets. The enfant Shishbornes, bless them, unfortJnately suffered the most from the savage attack of a swarm of mosquitoes on their last night there. And so, after their visit to the hot plains of Karnataka the SlushborJtes set off for Tamil. Nadu again, and ware last seen making their way up the Ghat in the direction of Ootacamund. Who is to say when we might spot them again in such an unnatural habitat as the jungle. However, although many missed this rare and wonderful sight (including the jungle wild-life, who preferred to cautiously keep their distance), I had the pleasure of photographing all of them in several poses, and when the shots are developed, they will bring back many happy memories of the visit of the Slushbornes to the jungle and the city.
