THE SUTTONIAN SUMMER TERM 1956

No. 230 (No. 12 of Volume XXVIII)

Ed itorial

G IBBON said in his Autobiography that every man has two educations : that which he receives from his teachers, and that which he owes to himself ; the latter being often the more important. The lecture given this term by Brigadier Greenacre may have changed the attitude of some towards National Service by telling them something about life in the Army. It is important when one has learned these things to realise what National Service can mean to us as a continuation of this second education,

or

even as a beginning of it. There are many sides of a school curriculum apart from the timetable of lessons. There is the games organisation ; the combined cadet force ; the various societies, and, more important perhaps than any of these, the prefectorial system. All play a vastly important part in our lives at school, and a different part from that played by the actual teaching and learning which forms what appears to be the backbone of school life. The significance of this side of the school's activity is that herein lies the second education of which Gibbon spoke. What we gain from these institutions depends entirely upon ourselves. Thus it is hardly difficult to understand the value of National Service to the young man as he leaves school. Approached in the right frame of mind it can be an education in itself, or at all events serve as an invaluable continuation of that second education which should have started at school. The apprehension caused by National Service and the inconvenience associated with it, the moral issues raised by forced patriotism and conscription should be as nothing to the ambitious individual, who, after all, has everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Chapel Notes

Owing to the printing difficulties, the new School Psalter and Prayer Book will not be available until next term. We very much hope to be able to use it at the beginning of the term. On the first Sunday of this term we paid our annual visit to the Parish Church for Matins. The preacher was the Headmaster. We have welcomed as preachers in chapel the Rev. Canon A. 0. Standen,

the Venerable the Archdeacon of Rochester, the Revs. A. S. Wright of Berkhamsted School, and J. D. Broadbent, Chaplain of Maidstone Prison, and Lt.-Col. W. Rose, of Dr. Barnardo's Homes. Collections in Chapel have been given to the British Empire Leprosy Relief Association, the Restoration Appeal for East Sutton Church, and the School Chapel Fund. Library Notes

The Committee thanks Robert Craven, 0.S., for Vol. I of Sir Winston Churchill's "History of the English Speaking Peoples," and the Headmaster for Lempriere's Classical Dictionary. The following books have been purchased from the Library Fund :— " Form in Music," by Stewart Macpherson ; "The Listener's History of Music," by Percy A. Scholes ; "Beethoven," by Marion M. Scott ; "French XVIII-Century Painters," by E. and J. de Goucourt ; "Memoirs of the Life of John Constable," by C. R.

Clubs and Societies June 13 this term was a day set aside for Society Outings. The Hunting Society visited the Houses of Parliament, and several other expeditions were arranged, including visits to the Royal Academy and the Photographic Exhibition in London. This seems a very worthy innovation provided that its purpose is not forgotten—an innovation that might well, we hope, be regarded as a precedent. CHRISTIAN UNION We have met regularly this term, and have had some useful and thought-provoking informal talks fiom Richard English, Esq., 0.5., H. W. McKay and the Rev. 0. J. Searchfield, the Congregationalist minister in Sutton Valence. We hope to have a talk from Canon Norwood later this term. Attendance at C.U. meeting has fallen off somewhat owing to the light evenings and the sporting attractions, but actual membership is still comparatively high. R. H. H. White will be taking over the secretaryship next term from M. J. Redman, who is leaving. It is hoped that next term more members of the School will take advantage of the opportunities offered by the C.U., as many of the more senior members are leaving. CONJURING CLUB After two terms' abeyance, the Conjuring Club was re-formed at the beginning of this term, and in spite of a limited membership we have met regularly, and many new tricks have been learnt. Our first official function was, of course, on Speech Day, when our conjuring show was well attended by both parents and boys. We hope to recruit more members next term, and keep going a worthwhile society. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY At the end of the Lent term it was decided that some new tools were needed. These were duly procured, and are now proving very useful. Having learned from our mistakes of last year, the early seeds were sown in March, but owing to the drought nothing was seen of them until two weeks after we returned to School this term, so we gained little or no advantage by our foresight. The early lettuce are being bought by the tuckshop, and the carrots are coming along very well in spite of the irresistible temptation the young shoots seem to offer to the new members. The successional sowings of beetroot, maincrop carrots and onions are progressing well, but are in need of rain. We are experimenting successfully with shallots this year for the first time. 10, On the floral side, credit must go to K. G. Lewis, who has raised enough plants to fill two large circular beds. The calendula, love-in-the-mist, together with self-sown marigolds all look very well, and will be in bloom for Speech Day. The cherries, although not quite so abundant as in previous years, still attract members out to the orchard, thus rendering them liable for more constructive tasks. Some of the older members of the Society are leaving this term, and I must make an appeal to the younger to keep the Society going as well as it is now, and not to be afraid of hard work.

THE SUTTONIAN THE PHOTOGRAPHIC CLUB

Once again we have had a most successful term, although the activities of the more senior members have been somewhat curtailed by anxiety for examinations. We were, however, able to take advantage of an opportunity to visit two June exhibitions in London. The Royal Photographic Society exhibition of Russian photography was of great interest, although many 'of the prints were too much influenced by the propaganda point of view to be appreciated purely on artistic standards. The Kodak exhibition of British and American photography was excellent, and all our members have benefited from this fine display of art. Our own exhibition on Speech Day again proved to be a great success, and although there were fewer entries this year, the quality was much improved—the colour section, which is rapidly growing in popularity, deserves especial mention. Many keen young photographers have joined during the year, and fortunately the Club will be little affected by the changes due to those leaving at the end of this term. THE STAMP SOCIETY The Society has unfortunately not been well patronised throughout, and the number of active members is very small. We hope, however, that some of the younger members of the School will take a renewed interest in the Society next term. The Annual Exhibition on Speech Day was a great success, and the film strips shown were well appreciated, and the display was up to its usual good standard despite the deficiency in members. The Headmaster and Mr. E. A. Craven very kindly helped us out with a loan of some stamps from their own collections. Contributions to the exhibition from the School came from J. H. Booth, P. M. Jenkins and K. R. Gilhana. I would like to make an appeal to the younger boys who are interested in stamps to join the Society, for I am sure they will profit by it. JAZZ CLUB One could hardly be other than apprehensive at the beginning of this year as to the future of the jazz band : and indeed the absence of Griffin and Croft did cause a temporary setback. But this term, with the addition of Herbert playing the muchneeded bass, the band has been able to achieve clearer sound, and has thus given the players more scope for originality. A lot of practice has been put in, and by the end of term the band has surpassed the high standard of last year. Robertson's trombone playing has vastly improved, and his solo work and backing gives promise of greater things to come. The rhythm section now numbers four, and works well together. White, even if he is a little temperamental at times, has greatly improved and, together with Aisher on the clarinet, has formed the backbone of the band. Especial


THE SUTTONIAN

387

mention must be made of Aisher's leadership in the difficult periods of re-forming the band last Christmas and Lent terms. Only by his personal example was the band kept in being. Another recording was made on July 5, in conjunction with a recognised recording company, before an audience in the Almshouses. A Long Playing Proof Record was received in a few days, and we hope to be able to distribute the prints before the end of term. The band was given twenty minutes during the interval at the School Dance, and gave a performhnce which proved that their hours of practice had not been wasted. They have never been heard to play so well either in private or in public. Sarony gave an excellent vocal in "St. James's Infirmary" and' received loud and well deserved applause; the solos were most original. The band is playing again at the end of term concert, for the last time as a complete unit, and it is a performance we all look forward to. It is unfortunate, now that the band is such a good combination, that we have to say goodbye to all except White and Sarony. But there is a flourishing group of younger musicians who are showing great promise, and on whom the band has been drawing for replacements during the absence of regular members. With White and Sarony as a nucleus, we can hope for a group as good as or even better than the present one, by this time next year. MUSIC SOCIETY We have spent several pleasant evenings in the comfort of Mr. Lynas' room listening to records and talking about music and musicians. We have heard works by Prokoviev, Stravinsky, Sibelius, Litoff, Saint Mena, Mozart, Brahms, Elgar, Schubert, and Schumann, so it can be seen that we have catered for most tastes. The high-light of our term was a visit to a Beethoven Concert at the Festival Hall ; a party of twelve members heard the first and ninth symphonies played by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Josef Krips. We all enjoyed the performance thoroughly, and found Krips' interpretation left nothing to be desired.

Lectures and Entertainment have been four excellent lectures this term. We have welcomed an Old T HERE Suttonian, an ex-headmaster, a London University don and a brigadier as lecturers. P. K. G. Lindsey (0.S.) gave a detailed description to the Science Sixth on the "Products of Armstrong Siddeley. He also outlined the many openings in the firm to scientists. Michael Howard, the University don, lectured to the whole Sixth on" Limited and Total War." Such a subject was made remarkably plain and absorbing to interest even those few who dislike even the thought of being lectured. Mr. Howard also imparted more of his immense knowledge to the historians in the School the following day—the subject was" War in Sixteenth-century Europe." Mr. Hugh Lyon, from the Public Schools Appointments Bureau, gave the School another of his welcome visits and talks, towards the end of the term. His topic was mainly on the lines of" Careers in Industry ".

THE SUTTONIAN

The final lecture of the term proved to be one well above expectations, as the subject was "National Service " ! Brigadier Greenacre gave a very stimulating account of how to get into and out of national service, and how to gain by it. From the ovation the brigadier got at the end of his speech it seemed that even Sutton Valence would now be welcoming national service days ! The entertainment of the term was provided by an excursion in six double-decker buses—that incidentally intrigued even the now greatly urbanised Maidstone— to the Granada Cinema. Shakespeare's, or shall we say, Olivier's, "Richard III" was the fare, and the reception by the School was indeed equal to the quality of the film. We can only hope that when films of equal excellence come within the vicinity of rural Sutton Valence yet more of these undoubtedly well appreciated outings will be arranged.

Early in the term a debate was held that " This House Considers Sutton Valence Needs Fanatics." This was proposed by Mr. W. H. T. Willcox and Mr. T. G. McCarthy, and opposed by Mr. G. J. A. Hardy and Mr. P. Neate. The standard of speaking was generally higher than usual, and a large proportion of those present gave their views. The motion was defeated with 9 votes for and 12 against. On June 13 a party of thirty members travelled to London by coach and visited the Houses of Parliament. Sir Alfred Bossom, M.P., took members on a very comprehensive tour, all the time giving interesting comments. In the afternoon the Chairman and the Hon. Sec. had tickets for the Strangers' Gallery, and a few other members who were staying on in London for a concert in the evening managed to obtain tickets after queueing. Those who were fortunate enough to be in the House for the afternoon heard a number of telling Opposition questions, to which the Ministerial replies seemed at times somewhat inadequate. The perseverance of Mr. Bevan in putting supplementary questions was especially noticeable. A Mock Trial is to be held on the last Saturday of term.

Ashford Dance

W

E were all very disappointed when it was learned that this term's Dance had had to be cancelled owing to an epidemic at Ashford School. But we are looking forward to a new fixture at some future date.

Original Contributions Men From Beyond the Floating Cloud I wandered slowly as a lord That spends his time in fast, large cars, When all at once I saw a horde, A host, of little men from Mars ; Beside their craft, on tripod stands, Walking and dancing on their hands. For miles around, and in the air, It could have been Bank Holiday, I saw these friends of Daniel Dare Who seemed determined here to stay ; Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Wagging their feet in warlike dance. Each new arrival jived ; but one Out-did the others in his dance ; A human could not join the fun, For were he seen he'd have no chance ; I gazed—and gazed—but little thought Of what would happen were I caught. Now oft as in my bath I lie, Or picnic by a country stream, I gaze up to the murky sky And wonder why I had that dream ; But then my eyes begin to close— I shake a Martian by the toes.

" TRUMMY "

Ode to a Foreshore As I walk the listening shore to-night Dull lights are winking in the bay ; The tide resounds in every timeless wave ; The image of things present limps away. To-morrow will the Estuary mud Yield once more its struggle to the seas ; And down from London's seething East will flow The-trippers, bearing buckets, spades and fleas. Day breaks upon the shuttered line of shops, Each vying with the other for the sale of rock ; And up in Stepney East the mothers and their men Start for the seaside with their ragged flock. Across the lakey calm to Kent The mists of morn lift from the sea ; Dark shapes of boats from a slipway bob, Tethered heaving in its lea.

THE SUTTONIAN As on the wharves of old Leigh town The men unload their catch The early cloth-capped tripper Sniffs his fill from an open hatch. And now the town begins to fill ; The train has shed its eager load ; And out into the sun they stroll, All blinking as they cross the road. And down the milling High Street They push towards the shore— To motor-boats and bathing-tents And trips around the Nore. While down upon the sea-front The parks have filled with cars ; And fat women in black dresses Drain their stout in corner bars. When cockles have been tasted, Winkle teas and toffee-apples, 'Tis time to leave for Stepney East And its dingy Baptist chapels. As I walk the listening shore to-night The tide begins its outward wend. The residents can claim their town : Peace has come back now to Southend. J. S. P. Bombed Church Gaunt tower and gaping windows, Broken gravestones and crumbling walls, Undergrowth, confusion and disorder. Tower, once beautiful, erect and firm, Pride of its builder—derelict now. Gravestones, pitiful attempts to enshrine The memory of a mortal, even that vain hope Now lost, lie in hideous formlessness. The hope of life seems to have gone from that Church, And the memory of life to be extinguished By that which takes toll of human frailty, And levels all things with the dust of bygone ages. Yet we know that life will return In the years of peace that death alone can buy ; For the spirit that first raised these sacred walls As a monument to the Glory of God Cannot die, but lives in the heart of man for ever.

C.C.F. Notes HE General Inspection may be regarded as the culmination of the year's training

T and no doubt many are the sighs of relief when "the Captains and the Kings" of the War Office have departed. This year we had the unusual, but memorable, experience of being inspected by an Old Suttonian—Major-General J. L. Moulton, C.B., D.S.O., 0.B.E., R.M., Major-General Royal Marines Portsmouth Group. The earlier surruner-like weather had broken by June 5, but once again we were fortunate in the choice of a day and the sunshine. This year, departing from precedent, the parade was held on the Lower where ample room allows for the whole Contingent being drawn up in line. Another advantage of the change was that the March Past following the Inspection went with much more of a swing than in previous years owing to the larger space for manoeuvre. The good step was undoubtedly helped by the time set by the band, well tutored by Mr. Brunsden and Drum-Major Aisher. Following the main ceremonial parade the General visited the Armoury, Orderly Room and Stores. He watched Cadets classifying on the Miniature Range and various aspects of training, including an Assault Course under the direction of Captain Nicholl. General Moulton later addressed the Contingent in Hall and his remarks may best be summed up by quotations from parts of his official report. "The Contingent makes a good impression on parade. The Cadets look fit and answer questions sensibly and intelligently. Uniform is at a sound average standard, equipment well cleaned and in sound condition. Arms drill is unduly hurried. Marching was good on the main ceremonial parade when the band set the time, but the step was inclined to be too fast later at drill classes. Parade, weapon and signals training, map reading and gun drill were well executed under Cadet N.C.Os. . . . The Contingent's record in competitive shooting is outstanding and I was glad to see that this was linked with weapon training by having members of the Shooting VIII to instruct. It is important to realise—as this C.C.F. does—that weapon training is teaching people to shoot. . . . I was greatly impressed by the state of the Armoury and Store rooms which reflect great credit on Lieut. Sergison. The assault course training, under the supervision of Capt. Nicholl, was a valuable and determined attempt to overcome difficulties. . . ." The parade was commanded by Capt. J. E. C. Nicholl, M.C., and the Platoon Officers were Capt. R. P. Coutts, Lieut. R. H. Hanworth, Lieut. M. H. Fairbank and 2nd/Lieut. K. J. George. This year the Inter-House Drill Competition has been moved from the Michaelmas to the Summer Term. Capt. C. S. Clarke, Training Officer at the Depot, The Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment, judged the competition and presented the Drill Cup to the winners, St. Margaret's House.

Shooting Notes

Summer Term began well, with the news that we had won the Country Life THE Trophy by 56 points. Although the conditions have been made more difficult this year, our score would have been a record last year. We began the Open Range season with seven members of last year's VIII. In view of that, our scores to date have been disappointing. Our first match was the London and Middlesex Meeting, in which we were unable to repeat last year's victory ; Martin, however, shot well to win the 9th man competition. In the Kent R.A. Schools Meeting, we improved but could only come second to St. Lawrence. Martin again won the 9th man competition. In the Sussex Meeting, we were unplaced with a poor score. Biggs and Pierce, however, shot extremely well and won the Cadet Pair Trophy from thirty-five other schools. The VIII retained the Cox Cup. The Ashburton Shield has been postponed this year until July 25 and will be reported in the next issue. Our scores in competitions to date are as follows :— LONDON v. MIDDLESEX P. J. T. Herbert G. J.

Scout Notes

HE Junior Troop has had a good term of outdoor activity, with several visits to TBingswood, where a revival of "Human L'Attaque " proved one of the most lively and active of the wide games. We were pleased to have a visit from Mr. J. A. Blake, A.D.C., during the term and as a result hope to arrange some joint activities with the Maidstone Grammar School Senior Scouts next term. Not many tests have been passed this term, but Mr. Douglas has conducted another 1st Class Map-reading Course, and a large party will have dealt with estimations before the end of the term. The Upper School Scouts have had one week-end camp and hope to have another before the end of the term, and a most successful bicycle treasure hunt on an extremely wet Saturday evening, in which the winners were Hickmott and Longden. Summer Camp will be at Cranbrook again this year, and we look forward to having Mr. Byrde with us again to cope with the feeding arrangements, and there is talk of an Upper School Scout Camp in Somerset in September.

Norfolk Broads, 1956 N a cold and wet April evening two Flight Class yachts, four Foam Class cruisers and one Star Class cruiser left Jack Powles' Boat Yard at Wroxham at the start of the largest Broads Party there has been up to the present. We were very lucky in the weather for after the forbidding start we had days of bright sunshine and wind, which sent us all back home brown and fit, and some of the sunburn did not wash off ! We covered the usual ground in the Northern Broads, Wroxham—Ranworth, where we added many decibels to the congregational singing on the Sunday eveningHickling, with the Pleasure Boat crew as welcoming as ever, many swans (and eggs ?), and a good breeze—Horsey Mere and the visit to the sea on a gloriously sunny morning, where Jenkins and Payn (they deserve to be named) bathed briefly in the North Sea —Ludham Staithe, with its walk through the " enchanted garden," where the Admiral, among others, entirely failed to see " the teeniest, weeniest fairy in the whole world" —and in broad daylight, too ! A grand day for sailing on Barton Broad, complete with a dinghy race, before the night at Statham—down the tortuous Ant again to South Walsham and pleasant rowing on a windless evening and visits to the "Old Curiosity Shoppe " and much fruitless bargain hunting. In passing, we should record the sad fate of the Skipper and one crewman of Flight 2, who, in course of a surprisingly fast getaway from Ludham Bridge, were deserted, in a dinghy, in the most heartless fashion by the rest of the crew and left to row nearly all the way down to South Walsham before they were taken in tow by a passing cruiser. We spent the last evening in our usual spot outside Wroxham Broad without opposition from the V.P.S. and were at Jack Powles again in good time on the Saturday morning. This can only be a brief account of a very happy and cheerful week—each craft would have its own tale to tell of delicious dishes and miraculous meals, of sudden and unexpected dips always so much more amusing to the onlookers, of dead fish suddenly appearing in the well of a cruiser. . . . We were lucky to have the help of P.S.W.M., M.H.F., and H.F.E.L. as Skippers of various craft, and the thanks of the " Admiral " and the party as a whole are due to them. "Here's to the next time . . ." The craft are booked again for next year. J. W. T.

School Golf N the afternoon of Sunday, May 13, eight of the School were invited to Bearsted to play in the O.S. Spring Meeting. In this match J. S. Andrews and P. A. de Pinna were the most successful of the school, finishing 2 up on bogey. The School Golf competition was also played at Bearsted on Sunday July 1. There were 12 competitors. Unfortunately the weather was not very kind to us, and there was a strong wind throughout the day. The Scratch prize was won by

P. A. de Pinna (11) with 117 strokes over 26 holes. J. S. Andrews (16) scored 118 giving him the handicap prize by 7 strokes. After these two scores there was a considerable gap. P. A. Aisher (24) was third with 136. (Westminster was the most successful house, gaining the first 5 places.) For this most successful and thoroughly enjoyable day we are indebted to Mr. Thomson, who has done so much to encourage golf in the School, and also to the O.S. golfers, who kindly provided balls as prizes. We hope to play an informal match against King's School, Rochester, one Sunday, and also to enter a team for the Kent Schools Golf Competition at Ramsgate. There has definitely been a great revival in the School's interest in golf this term, and it is encouraging that so many younger members of the school are taking such an avid interest in the game.

Speech Day Week-End Speech Day this year the accent was on Science. The prizes were D URING presented by Sir Owen Wansbrough-Jones, K.B.E., C.B., Chief Scientist to the Ministry of Supply, who afterwards opened the new science block. And a most interesting exposition of the natural sciences was arranged within the new buildings. In his report, the Headmaster said that the occasion was of especial interest as a major undertaking had been brought to fruition : he paid tribute to the architects (Seeley & Paget) and builders (Charles Walter & Son), and welcomed Sir Owen. He then spoke of a matter of deep importance to the parental body—a substantial increase in fees. He passed on to an enumeration of sporting achievements during the year ; in the academic field however we had not been so successful, but a large number of those who had been awarded special prizes were staying on for a further year—even if White minor only counted as one—and he hoped to be able to give a, more favourable report in twelve months' time. He continued by justifying himself in the necessity for preventing people from taking too much advantage of the privileges granted them. The Headmaster ended by speaking of the loss which the school would sustain by the departure of Mr. Bailey. Sir Owen then presented the prizes. The recipients were :— PRIZE WINNERS

Sir Owen outlined the classic methods of constructing and delivering a prize-giving oration, which amused those who had heard such speeches. He went on to stress the interdependence and near unity of the sciences and the arts. Specialisation was a modern necessity, and only an evil when exclusive of all other interests. Finally he stressed the opportunities offered by the school and said that in spite of our not having asked to be born—or perhaps to be sent to such a school—we owed it to our parents at least to take some advantage of these opportunities. The Chairman of the Governors thanked Sir Owen, and explained the necessity for a rise in fees. The new science block had been built out of funds provided by the Westminster foundation ; however, fees must cover all internal expenses, that is, the running, staffing and equipping of the school. After the speeches the company withdrew to the area of the new science block and Sir Owen performed a brief opening ceremony. The swimming display took its usual form—life-saving, the water rats, a comic turn by the bath squad, diving and water polo. There was a number of exhibitions. The best was Mr. Bailey's in the new physics laboratory where numerous gadgets and phenomena were on show. Perhaps the most enterprising was an exhibition of oil-paintings executed by members of the School, which did credit to Mr. Simmons' instruction. The 0.S. fielded two teams for the cricket on Saturday. The School first XI won after an exciting finish, while the second XI had lost by 7 wickets before half-past three. The evening's dance was for once not over-attended, so that it was possible to take the floor without the usual discomfort. The jazz band performed in the interval : those who like this form of music appeared to enjoy it very much : even those who do not, agreed that they played better than ever before. We wonder whether it would be possible to extend the dance for half an hour another year.

The playing record of this year's side, captained by P. N. Goddard, was even a little better than that of last year. Each side won 9 matches, but this season only one was lost, while of the two drawn games, we were in a strong position—even for cricket—against St. Lawrence, although in the other one against the M.C.C. the reverse was the case. A comparison of averages shows that while individually for the most part those in batting show lower averages—except for Goddard whose 50-5 shows great steadiness—there were more averages (10) of double figures in 1956 than in 1955 (8), which shows greater depth in the batting this year. Bowling figures are better, there is no doubt of that, more particularly so as Goddard was able to give himself some rest after batting since both Harrison and Nash could and did use the new ball well. Goddard, still our most dangerous bowler, was thus deprived of the new ball, but was rarely unsuccessful. Fenton also bowled very well, but was not used a great deal—it was not necessary. In both overs per wicket (4.3 against 5.4) and runs per wicket (11.6 against 14.5), the 1956 side has the better figures. The fielding of both sides was adequate on the whole and in the O.S. match this year was first rate. Space does not permit detailed report of matches, but there were excellent and even exciting finishes in at least 4 of the matches which we won-19 runs in the staff match with over 200 runs in each innings : 16 runs with one over to go v. B.B. : 1 wicket at 6.59 p.m. v. the Mote and 20 runs off the very last possible ball v. O.S. The M.C.C. game was exciting enough, too, when Gillaam and Lister held the fort from 6.12 to 6.54, and Harrison was able to last the remaining 6 minutes with Gilham—even daring to "pinch the bowling" for one agonising over. Part of the foundations of this successful and happy season rested mainly on Harrison (medium-paced in-swingers) and Nash (thoughtful variations based mainly on out-swingers). These two had very.similar bowling figures and were good foils to each other. These two with Goddard and Fenton in reserve were usually good enough for most opponents. The main credit, however, must go to Goddard. Not only was he the best cricketer both as bat and bowler, and thus a good example to his team, but also by his friendly relations with his own side always, and his opponents off the field, but certainly not on it, he was a real captain. As he has had four years in the School side and spends most of his Summer holidays playing cricket, he has had a wider experience of the

game than ninny men and never let a situation get out of hand by becoming flustered. His organisation of all cricket was up to this same high standard. This long account a first XI prowess has not left much space for other things, but there is a general improvement in the game at all levels-perhaps because we have so many activities in which the non-enthusiasts can take part-and to play cricket you must be an enthusiast. This means that at top levels, anyway, the dead wood can be cut out. The other attractions have their disadvantage, however, in that the tea interval sees a general departure of many spectators, who thus miss what is usually the most interesting and often exciting part of the game. The enthusiasts usually remain and enjoy and applaud and to them we offer thanks, but they must remain anonymous. There is a final reason for the improvement in cricket over the last three yearsbetter wickets everywhere (except that on B.M. !!). Good practice wickets are essential for nets and games to be of help. During his three years here, Williams has done a fine job in all weathers to improve pitches-there is still more to do, but with willing help from a number of non-cricketers, he is always improving them, and despite the worst possible weather from the first day of February to the end of May-a month with snow lying on the ground-followed by two months drought with cold N.E. winds, the pitches on the Upper have done him credit, and for the 0.8. match it looked a picture. I shall remember 1956 with pleasure and gratitude. We may have seasons as E. A. C. good in the future, perhaps better, but not happier. Averages Ave.

Athletics Retrospect The 1956 Sports have turned out to be the last to be held in the foreshortened Easter term : the new time, during the last weeks of the Summer term, will provide better opportunities for training. But although this year they were still held in the Easter term, we were fortunate enough to have excellent weather for both heats and finals. Performances were very good this year ; Tyrrell especially distinguished himself by raising E. P. W. Stroud's Weight Record to 38 feet 10 ,/ inches, and also lowered the long-standing 440 yards record to 53.5 seconds. He also won the 100 yards, the 220 yards and the 880 yards. He was followed closely home each time in the Sprints by Neate, the Captain of Athletics. Other particularly noteworthy achievements were Birch's Hurdle record of 17.2 seconds and Johnson's record in the High Jump of 5 feet 6 inches. Booth at long last lowered S. C. Wooderson's record for the Mile by -1 of a second. Our only disappointment was our defeat in the Rochester Match, which, owing to new time of Sports, will presumably be the last of the series. Green dominated the Rochester team, and by competing in nine events can be said to have won the match on his own. With all due credit, we would not wish this to be repeated if

405

athletics is to be regarded as a team sport. But even though Rochester had a monopoly in the short sprints and field events, we proved to be greatly superior in the 880 yards and the Mile ; the Hurdles and Discus were both creditably won by the School, and the day's sport was considered by both teams to be better than in some previous years. The Inter-House Relays brought two good days of racing and a spate of new records from both St. Margaret's and Westminster. It is very heartening to see that Lambe's and Founder's are now coming into their own, and are able to compete quite favourably with the other Houses. With some promising juniors, they should provide some serious competition next year. The Twenty Man Race was won very well by St. Margaret's in record time. Another record not recorded last term was Westminster's Baton Race time of 46 minutes 37 seconds. In all, last season was one of the most successful for some years. A new system of weight training proved most beneficial, and tribute must be paid to Neate, Captain of Athletics, for his efforts earlier in the term in training the School athletes during the bad weather. Although we entered teams this term in outside meetings, Beechey and Birch were the only ones who had any success, with a County and Southern Standard in the Discus and Hurdles respectively.

Tennis Notes With three of last year's six still at School, prospects were good. Mr. Major was unfortunately only able to coach the team for the first part of the term and I am sure the School will join in thanking him for all he has done for tennis at the School.

Swimming Notes

O

WING to a promising period of bright weather at the beginning of term, the

Bath Squad was able to begin work straight away, and within a fortnight the bath was emptied, scrubbed clean, and repainted. Despite this rapid progress swimming was unable to start immediately since the sand in the filter was being changed. When at last the new sand did arrive, the Bath Squad lent willing aid to the task of loading ninety one-hundredweight bags of graded sand into the filter, and had the job completed in three hours. This year two new fixtures were added to our list, bringing the total to eight, the new ones being against Tonbridge School and H.M.S. Worcester. Of these eight we won five and lost three, although the win against the O.S. can hardly be called a victory, as it is a social occasion rather than a match. This was considerably enlivened by some brave diving stunts by two O.S. Bailey, who made a capable and popular Captain of Swimming, again dived with marked success, and, in our fullest season to date, won each event for which he entered. This is his third undefeated season. The season has not been without its disappointments, the major one being the weather. At St. Dunstan's early in the season, the temperature of their indoor bath was twenty degrees warmer than that of our bath at the time. Our low temperatures made training unpleasant, but nevertheless our swimmers were good enough to win most of our fixtures. All our team swam well, and Power, in particular, has noticeably improved. AmongJ other good things he lowered the previous best time for the school 250 yards by 4i seconds. A word of praise also for Harverson, who has been a most efficient and enthusiastic recorder.

THE SUTTONIAN

The usual Speech days display, which was blessed with lovely weather and a large crowd, was "pepped up by some unusual and unlikely dives performed by a group calling themselves the Water Maniacs, an item which went down very well. Life saving this year, although poorly supported, was a successful as ever, and there were no failures in the exams. This reflects great credit on the enthusiasm of R. G. White, who was in charge of Life saving. The inter-house competitions were as exciting and closely fought as they are ever likely to be. $t. Margaret's won the Standards Cup by a narrow margin from Westminster ; these two houses came equal in the Relays with eleven points each, with Lambe's and Founder's close behind with eight points. Lambe's and Founder's won the Penguin race, in which St. Margaret's reached home first by a split second but had to be disqualified on a take over. The Challenge Cup was won by St. Margaret's. The Colours for this year were. W. D. B(tiley, J. C. Johnson, P. J. Hills, J. W. Power, P. A. B. Birch, D. A. Frost, N. L. Sarony and R. G. White. RESULTS S.V.S. v. Tonbridge School

THE SUTTONIAN

Cambridge Letter Dear Sir,—The term started with the Oxford and Cambridge O.S. dinner, a function whose name was, unfortunately, belied this year by the absence of any Oxford representatives. Perhaps Bulge and Krush proved too big a draw. After this very pleasant evening the tenor of life grew more earnest. It is reported that Brian Lewis forsook his Sunday morning Odysseys from Anchor to Mill, and John Robbins could regularly be seen cycling earnestly over Silver Street Bridge when not plying his oar on the lower river. Such was the panic that it is rumoured that Gerald Clapp pitched a tent in Girton Pasture in order that no time should be lost. His claim was left undisputed by Mike Bartlett, who has spent much time evolving a series of foolproof systems and checking the results at Newmarket. Others indulge in more light-hearted pastimes. John Lincoln, who, we understand, is going to work for Mobiloil, is still trying to perfect the art of throwing a glass at a window and making the glass explode. Richard Aisher can often be seen heading in the direction of the Gog and Magog Golf Course, whereas Martin Patton is not to be seen at all. However, we must deny the rumour that he has been rusticated for grouse-shooting during a Retreat. Brian Keeble, when not studying the architectural beauties of Gains and the Volunteer, has had a very successful season at tennis and has played regularly for the Grasshoppers. Micky Beaman, in addition to evolving a new bridge system christened for the benefit of his opponents the Goncharoff, has been a successful captain of Sidney Chronics.

James Poole, who has had to abandon the oar for the less strenuous tennis racket, has been busy enticing Swedes and Norwegians from the Bell School to his garret. . . . I remain, Sir, your slothful scribe, OBLOMOV.

Correspondence Lambe's House, Sutton Valence. The Editor, The Suttonian. Sir,—The last ten months which I have spent here at Sutton Valence have been, without any reservations, the most enjoyable of my life. I remember a little over a year ago being told by Tom Chastain that life at Sutton Valence at times could be described as idyllic ; how right he was ! One would have to go a long way before finding a community as generous and hospitable as is found in this School. A number of outstanding incidents present themselves as I look over the events of my year, one of the most memorable in the athletic aspect being the 5-mile steeplechase with its gratifying cheer at the gruelling finish. I shall not soon forget the English fondness for runs ! A day of practice in the cricket nets will also remain a memorable one. The only slight criticism I would put forward concerning the School is the fact that there is room for slightly more School spirit, especially in connection with the supporting of School teams. One might also venture to say that it would not hurt the School if a bit more academic work was done.


411

THE SUTTONIAN I must confess that I have never seen a School with a more beautiful setting as Sutton as it sits on the side of Sutton Hill overlooking the Weald of Kent. Couple this with the genuinely friendly atmosphere which prevails over the School and we have what is probably the most pleasant and enjoyable School one could hope to attend. It is quite obvious that in all probability I shall never be able to repay individually the warm hospitality and friendliness with which I have been showered during my stay, but I do wish to extend a very sincere invitation to any Suttonian who should ever find himself in the United States to come to my home for as long as he wishes. My heartfelt thanks to you all for all you have done to make my stay so enjoyable. Most sincerely, CARL ERICSON.

116 Normandy Road, Longmeadow, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

Doddington Place, Sittingbourne, Kent. 15 . vi . 56. Dear Sir,—I wonder if you would convey my thanks to the boys who very kindly subscribed to the really lovely powder compact which I received yesterday. It was another quite unexpected and delightful surprise. I am more than pleased with this charming gift, and very grateful to all. Yours sincerely, M. V. PARKES.

St. Margaret's House, Sutton Valence. The Editor, The Suttonian. Dear Sir,—Mr. Major, our Tennis Coach since 1950, has unfortunately had to leave us. He has raised the standard of tennis at the School a great deal and given valuable help to many past members of the School. It would be fitting if we could raise a sum of money to show our gratitude for all he has done for the School. Contributions may be sent to Mr. MacIlwaine at the School. Yours faithfully, ROGER SHERIDAN,

Captain of Tennis. Westminster House, Sutton Valence School. May 24, 1956. The Editor, The Suttonian. Sir,—In the years when Sutton boasted a branch of the VI Form dabbling only in the study of Latin and Greek, it seemed natural to designate nonclassicists as modernists. However, with the passing of years a certain philistine element prevailed ; classics as such died. Those modernists who studied the Natural Sciences named themselves "The Science Side," while those who continued to indulge in the Humanities, without their classical background continued to be known as "The Modern Side." Yet this Modern Side includes historians ; students of the literature of England, France and Germany over the past three hundred or more years, and the few who still learn Latin. Modernity hardly seems their attribute.


412

THE SUTTONIAN

Therefore, Sir, with humble deference to a tradition, however groundless, of some years standing, I suggest the renaming of the Modern Side as the Arts Side—a designation reflecting the intellectual skill inculcated upon the nonscientist, and the wider outlook of the student of the Humanities. I beg to remain, Sir, Yours faithfully, R. H. H. WHITE.

Cockerill, A. R. Douglas, P. W. Grafton, J. D. Grafton, D. J. M. Lowe, A. R. Martin, R. J. Martin, J. W. Thomson, P. S. Morrish, L. M. Apps, A. J. Perkins, E. A. Craven, J. P. Lack, J. A. Sheridan, A. M. James and M. A. Mabelly. We were delighted to see several new faces and were encouraged by the increasing support being given to these meetings. In the morning Stableford Competition R. J. Martin and E. A. Craven tied for first place. The Morrish Cup went to the former, who returned the better score for the first nine holes. P. W. Grafton took third place. For the afternoon Four Ball Bogey Competition eight members of the School were matched in pairs against O.S. pairs. We hope that these boys and many others will join us at our meetings on many more occasions. As usual, it was obligatory to use the Master's Mashie on the first tee. Except for the Master, who perhaps knows his club rather well, there was a strong inclination for all to pull to the left—or should it be to " port " ? The winners of this event were R. F. Cockerill and J. Wilsher, with the fabulous score of seven up. Our second match against O.K.S. on Sunday, May 27, at Deal, was lost by 5 matches to 3. 0.5. were represented by the following : A. R. and R. J. Martin (1 win, 1 loss), N. G. S. Epps and B. A. Reynolds (2 losses), P. W. Grafton and J. L. Gulla,nd (1 win, 1 loss), R. F. Cockerill and A. J. Perkins (1 win, 1 loss). The Autumn Meeting will be held on either the last Sunday in September or the first Sunday in October. For further information, please write to Peter Morrish, Little Portobello, Brenchley, Kent.

O.S.A. Dinner The Sixty-Eighth Annual General Meeting and Dinner were held at the Windsor Castle Hotel, Victoria, S.W.1, on Tuesday, May 1, 1956. At the meeting, the Accounts for the year ended December 31, 1955, were received and adopted, and it was resolved to hold the next Meeting and Dinner at the City Livery Club, Sion College, Blackfriars, E.C.4. The following were re-elected to the Committee, being eligible, in the absence of other nominations : J. H. Gray and M. H. B. Jones. R. Lillico (1917) was elected Chairman of Dinner for 1957. After a satisfactory Dinner, the Loyal Toast was drunk and the speeches began. The Head Boy (P. N. Goddard) proposed the health of the School, and remarked that the occasion was unique : it was the first Dinner at which a member of Lambe's House had been in his position, to which he rose nobly. In the course of a commendably brief speech, he dealt with the main topics of School life and related them skilfully to the gathering he was addressing. The Headmaster responded in the vein of well combined humour and seriousness which characterises his addresses on these occasions. The sport, academic progress and enlargement of the School were all touched upon. The serious note of his latter remarks was apparent when he referred to the present status and deserved remuneration of masters at the School in competition with outside careers, and the possible consequence of increased fees. The Headmaster closed with an appreciation of the loyalty and support


THE SUTTONIAN of all Suttonians past and present, and merited his good reception. A. F. S. Cotton then proposed with adroit charm the health of Mr. R. L. Kay in his retirement, and revived many of the affectionate and glorious memories of one of the most staunch products and servants of the School. It is not possible here to summarise his achievements or his contribution to the School over more than forty years as boy and master, but there can be no doubt that seldom has "For he's a jolly good fellow" been sung with such sincerity and feeling. Receiving the presentation of a cheque with which to purchase a reminder of the School, R. L. Kay made his thanks and confessed that the gift had already been entirely spent, and proceeded to regale the members with some reminiscences of the golden days, as he saw them, of Sutton Valence. Many of the persons and events which were his milestones were unknown to some of his audience, but there can have been few there who have so wholeheartedly devoted themselves to an institution such as the School for nearly the whole of an active lifetime to leave such an imprint as has R. L. K. The O.S.A. in its present form, some members may not realise, is almost entirely his creation. A. F. S. Cotton again rose to propose a toast, this time of N. P. Bentley, Chairman of the Dinner, and recounted a number of his virtues, some of which were already well known, but all of which were a reminder of his thirty-five years of faithful service to Sutton Valence. Suitable reference was made naturally to his locus ex quo, his ability to overcome such an initial set-back, and to Mrs. Bentley's able support in all his endeavours. Even a short pseudonym was mentioned. Suffice it to say that a magnificent and varied record was

415

reviewed and the hope of a long and equally distinguished future voiced. Once more the ceiling (in the absence of rafters) rang to song and cheer, as the toast was enthusiastically received. The Chairman of the Dinner began by admitting, in his own words, his illegitimacy, which was agreed by the company. It later became clear that this remark related to his membership of the O.S.A. as a Master since 1921, though not as a boy at School. Fortunately this did not detract from the remainder of a humorous and worthy speech, said to have taken 131 minutes at rehearsal. 0 tempora, 0 mores ! Returning thanks, N. P. B. told the members a number of things about A. F. S. Cotton, where quiet modesty matched his distinction in his profession. There was no mistake about his own pleasure in presiding over the Dinner, and all present, to be received by so many of his colleagues and former charges. Indeed, the School is fortunate to have such outstanding men to guide its pupils through the formative years of their lives, to prepare them for the more arduous task of upholding the ideals and traditions inevitably absorbed there, and to follow in their several courses the stars whose pursuit is said to be so arduous. In one way, it was a pity to have two such notable men to be complimented in the same evening, for each must inevitably share his own pedestal and subscribe willingly to the other's tribute. At all events, it will indeed be long before another Dinner takes place at which such distinguished fare will be presented after the inner man has received his portion. However, let not this forecast deter any O.S. who does not attend the Meeting and Dinner from mending his ways in this particular.

HOCKEY Now that Hockey is being played at School, it is hoped that an 0.5. match can be played. The date fixed for 1957 is Saturday, March 30. Any O.S. Hockey players who would like to play versus the School should write to last years' Captain :— A. C. Nash, Elliotwood House, Lynstead, Faversham. Who has undertaken to run the side— or to E. A. Craven at the School, giving position on the field and other useful information. WINTER SPORTS PARTY In response to several requests provisional arrangements are being made for a School Winter Sports Party in Austria during the Christmas holidays. We shall probably stay at Lech in the Arlberg or Hochsolden in the Tyrol. Membership of the party is open to past and present Suttonians, members of their families and friends. Any O.S. who would like to join the party are asked to get in touch with N. P. Bentley at the School as soon as possible.
