SENIOR SCHOOL NOTES Departures: Five .of the staff who joined at the beginning of the year will not be with us in 1975. Mr. Schoeman and Mr. Botes, both of the Afrikaans Department, and Mr. Southey, the Physical Education instructor, have left and taken employment outside the teaching professi.on. Mr. Blake, Senior History teacher and senior housemaster in Littlewood House, has resigned to make an extended visit to Europe. He has played a very active part in our school life. coaching both cricket and rugby, and we shall miss him. We wish him well 011 his travels. Mr. Paisley, who revitalised the Art Department and created an enthusiastic photographic club, is also severing his connection with the teaching profession. The most senior member of staff to leave is Mr. Heath. During his six years at Wynberg he has made a notable contribution to the school. Apart from his very considerable teaching ability in Latin and English he has coached the Ist Cricket Xl, the 1st Hockey xr and various rugby teams, been second-in-command of the Cadet Detachment, senior housemaster at Littlewood House. and has also performed a variety of administrative duties. Mr. Heath has been appointed vice-principal of Alexander Road High School, Port Elizabeth. We shall miss him sorely and he leaves with our best wishes for bjs future career. Miss Russel, too, is leaving. During tbe three years she has been with us Miss Russel has transformed the library from an austere, wooden-floored, featureless book repository into a live, attractive, minutely organised library. But Miss Russel's talents do not end in tbe library. She has given valuable and expert coaching in tennis and hockey, and on one memorable occasion put half the school to shame in the cross-country. Miss Russelleaves us to take over the librarian's post in the Bergvliet Primary School. We thank her for all she has done and wish her happiness in her new post. Mr. Frauenknecht moves to a senior-assistantship at Settlers' High School. Bellville. He has taught Mathematics at Wynberg for three years, has coached cricket and rugby and has interested himself in the Chess Club. Mr. Fernandez has been with us for two years and during that time has done valuable work as Teacher-Psychologist and Guidance Officer. Boys will remember him for his sympathetic helpfulness and his concern for their welfare. Mr. Gerber, our bright. cheerful and obliging itinerant Woodwork teacher has accepted another itinerant post closer to his Durbanville home .

•

Arrivals: Most of this year's arrivals have had farewells said to them above. Of those who joined the staff in 1974 only two will be with us next year. Mr. Tngpen (Geography), and M.r. Hurter (Commerce) seem to have established themselves more firmly, and have thrown themselves into the extra-mural life of the school. We hope they have a long and happy stay at Wynberg.

Temporary Staff:

We have been f.ortunate in obtaining the services of temporary staff during the course of the year to fill vacancies caused by resignatjon. Mrs. Slater, wife of former Wynberg teacher Mr. J. Slater, deputised for Mr. Heath while he was overseas in the first term. Mr. Malan, former principal of Voortrekker High School, took over the Afrikaans classes of Mr. Schoeman. Mrs. Nortje helped us out of a difficulty by taking over Mr. Botes's classes. Mr. Zondagh-evergreen in his forty-ninth teaching year-is helping Mr. Louw in the manual-training block now that Mr. Gerber has left. And lastly, two generations of Wynberg boys will be delighted to hear that Mr. Eric Tasker. recently returned from a seven-year sojourn in England, where he divided his time between theatre and teaching, is back with us-taking the P.T. classes left untended as a result of Mr. S.outhey's departure. Mr. Tasker's cheerful presence in the staffroom and his lively interest in the boys bring back memories. Jronically, he now spends many of

his P.T. periods supervising impromptu games of soccer. Apart from Mr. Breetzke, to whom a daughter was born early in the year, the staff has been unproductive.

•

The new school. which had seemed to enter into the realms of fantasy. will soon be· come reality. The architects are completing the plans and building is scheduled to start towards the end of next year. Portraits of past and present headmasters of the High and Junior Schools. painted by Peggy North. have been presented by the Old Boys' Association and hang in the dining hall of Littlewood House. A new and spacious book room has been built on the small concrete quadrangle. This will double as the vice·principal's office. A new junior science laboratory. built to the latest design, and a new toilet blockconventional-have been built on the open space between the back of the school and Oxford Street. The fete was a great success. This combined effort on the part of the High and the Junior Schools and the Old Boys' Association, resulted in a net profit of R 17000.

About half the staff now have overhead projectors in their classrooms and find this teaching-aid invaluable. The Old Boys' Association presented the School with Video Tape equipment. a camera and a monitor. This self-contained television equipment has been u ed extensively for both academics and sporting purposes. and is greatly appreciated.

Ou.tandlng Achievements

•

It has been some years since so many Wynberg Boys have distinguished themselves in such a wide field of activities. The Band won the Western Province Band Competition, travelled to Potchefstroom to take part in the national finals. and lost by only two points. Raymond Teichert (lOA) sat a qualifying examination and was one of the 100 scholars drawn from all over the Republic who were invited to attend the Tenth National Youth Science Week in Pretoria during the June holidays. Mark Cawood played for Western Province in the Craven Week. On the strength of his performances he was selected a a reserve for the S.A. Schools team against Scotland at Ellis Park. Now he has been chosen for the S.A. Schools Touring Team that will leave for Jtaly and France in December. Tony Brummer represented South Africa in Water-Skiing in the under eighteen group. The four under-eighteen representatives travelled to Holland for the championships. Charles Bongers went to Spain to represent South Africa as a yachtsman in the under eighteen age group. Andrew Blencowe (7A) has won the school chess competition for the last two years. He plays (or the V.C.T. first team and came first among the school who entered the W.P. Open Chess Competition. Bryan Hack (lOA) won the S.A. Council for English Education award for the be t individual speaker in their annual inter-school 'Forum Discussion. D. Eyre won the V-19 Junior Squash title, and his brother. Allan. won the U-16 title but only by defeating third brother Brian. All three Eyre brothers were chosen to represent W.P. Schools in the inter-provincial championships held in Pietermaritzburg. The Judo team won the schools' heavyweight championship.

•

Very recent arrivals are a group of student-teachers who are learning the ropes before going out to their schools next year. We hope that Miss Cryer. Miss Serrurier and messrs. Tankard. Creed and Priilaid enjoy their stay with us and {jnd it of value.

MATRIC DANCE The 1974 Matric dance began with a ,umptuou ,upper. prepared by Mr , Blackbeard and her group of "merry women", The food wa excellent and our congratulation go to her and her band. Our thanks go al~o to the td. ine!> who acted as waiter. As far a [know nobody received a lap-full of trifle, although on one occa.ion J heard the cra h of falling rocker} acro),~ the room from me. After lhe upper, we adjourned to the hall to work off our energy. The hall wa a monument to hard work. Congratulation to the dance committee and the art boy for a job well done. The idea of u ing slide projectors io f1a<;h variou lide on the walls wa' both original and entertaining. The band wa good, although a general complaint seemed to be ihat they took too many break to have a "cough and a drag". and that the breaks they did take were too long. The appearance of a ragged mln trel player in the form of am Mienie, did help to alleviate the boredom on one occasion. A big thank you to all tho~e people who uccess. It wa appreciated bj all who attended

worked <;0 hard the dance.

HOUSE REPORTS WELLINGTON Housemasters: Mr. P. Broster, Mr. B. Jngpen. House Committee: T. Cleary (capt.), G. Spolander, K. Evans. A. Maritz. A general improvement was reflected and Wellington achieved second place in the Gala, were third on Sports Day and came third in the Rugby Competition. The success in tbe first two events was mainly due to large turnouts, while our Senior Rugby Team scored most points. On behalf of Wellington, [ should like to thank the staff concerned in organising these events for us. rn athletics the Junior School contribution was disappointing but overall there was an improvement and plenty of talent was revealed. Wellington cashed-in particularly in the relay races, and the tug-of-war. Our success in the gala was a great improvement due largely to the efforts of Maritz, who aroused a sense of duty amongst all boys who could float. The House was represented in every major sport's first team and on the prefect body. Well done all of you.

DE WAAL Housemasters: Messrs M. Harris. J. Mathew. G. Watkins. e. Jordaan, R. Frauenknecht, Mrs. P. Sutcliffe. House Captain: A. Burman. Vice-Capta;n: A. Knight. Committee: G. Rossiter, M. Paver, M. Morris, S. Howell, M. Cawood. Once again De Waal has established itself as the leading bouse in the school tbis year. Thanks go to Mr. HarTis in particular for his inspiration and utmost co-operation at all times. With Mr. Harris leading an able-bodied group of masters, house enthusiasm and spirit has never been higher and this augurs weU for tbe future. ACADEMIC: Gareth Rossiter and Mark Morris are the foremost of the De Waal "brains trust" and are well capable of achieving malric merit prizes. PREFECTS: De Waal is proud to be able to boast three of these: Mark Morris, Garetb Rossiter and Mark Paver. CULTURAL: G. Rossiter and M. Paver were both on the S.C.U. Committee. S.R.e.: Although only in std. 8, Michael Lewis is a force to be reckoned with and will play a vital part in future S.R.C. meetings. SPORT: Once again the Cawoods have taken the fore in the sporting field. Mark Cawood in particular has kept our flag flying high. He was presented Colours for Athletics, a Blue for Cricket and Honours for Rugby. Mark was a member of the S.A. Scboolboy squad cbosen to play "The Thistles" in August this year. Anthony Pharoah, Mark Paver, Mark Cawood and Andrew Knight (Victor Ludorum, record-breaker and McDonald Trophy winner) distinguished themselves in the senior division of Athletics. Because of a collapse in the "middle ages" we could only manage second place this year after a tense finishing battle with Van Riebeeck who did well to beat us. However, a potentially brilliant sprinter in Sacks (V.13) must be watched and encouraged in the future. At Rugby, Mark Cawood, Andy Knight, Tim England, Mark Paver and Curly Calder were vital cogs in the Ist Team. For Cricket, Anthony Vann, Stephen Howell, Mark Cawood, Calder and Munnik played for the first team, with Vann being top路scorer on several occasions.

SOMEWHERE

A DOG BARKED

I remember it all so clearly now-that startling experience. "Startling" isn't the word. "Horrifying" is more appropriate. I remember when the two men came to my door and for no reason at all grabbed me. I believed afterwards that it was because I was supposed to be the soundest man mentallyand physically in the district. Well, they grabbed me and twisted my arms be路 hind me and took me to I don't know where in a windowless van. When J climbed out of the van tbere was a strange little man with a head that seemed about three times too big for his body. He had me covered with a strange-looking, pistol-like object. That, he said, was a miniature lazer which had a range of up to five miles. He demonstrated by pointing the gun at a tree about a mile away and pulling the trigger. A split second later the tree fell with a crash and turned into a spitting dragon of flame. We tben started walking towards a strangely assymetrical house that gave me an intense feeling of fear and seemed to repel me like the beat of a forest fire. As we neared the bouse J remember I could hardly walk because T was trembling with such a heartstopping far. Before we arrived at the house they blindfolded me and we entered. I knew wben we entered because the house had a decaying smell of death and it reminded me of a mortuary. The blindfold was taken off and I was too scared to open my eyes for a moment. Then I heard a door close and Iopened my eyes and saw that I was a.lone in a strange mauve-coloured room with a yellow chair and a black bed. It was like a space-age P.O.W. camp cell. I eventually fell asleep lying on the floor, not daring to go near the bed or the chair. In the morning a strange noise woke me up. It was the noise cooking oil would make when being poured slowly into the pan. It oozed into my brain, settjng my nerves on edge and my teeth chattering. Tt eventually slipped away into the red glow of the room. I was on edge for the rest of the morning, waiting for something to happen. In the afternoon, when I'd calmed down a bit, it did come. A sudden ripping, tearing noise that went straight through my head like a red hot knife forcing and cutting its way through my brain. It was like an intensified dog's barking with the caterwauling, yowling. screeching and crying of all tbe beasts of the world. As it carried on it bad me running around the room, banging my head on lhe wall, kneeling and screaming, crying, begging, imploring. stamping my feet, ripping my hair out by the roots for this noise to stop. It did eventually stop and I was left lying on the bed, a beaten man, mentallyand physically. I was completely defeated. This bappened every day for about two weeks and then, one day, I gripped the cbair and threw it at tbe window. There was a great crackle and the whole house disintegrated in a great cloud of smoke. I was thrown about fifty feet and J landed on my head and merciful, black oblivion came to me. I don't know what happened to me but 1 know that I was found wandering aimlessly about, all bloodied and with only tbe blackened remajns of a shirt, a pair of underpants and a shoe. When 1 was found I was murmuring something about dogs barking and noises and men with lasers and big heads. So I finish writing my tory here in this safe, comfortable padded cell. Oh God! No, not again ... Oh, thank heaven, a false alarm, for out jn the darkness a dog barked. B. Duncan, 6A.

DIE VERHAAL VAN 'N OU SKOEN "Maar daardie skoen kan ek DOg dra, Ma," het ou mnr. Foster verklaar. "Moenie die ding weggooi nie, ek kan dil nog gebruik." Met nie 'n ander woord, het mev. Foster die ou skoen in die vullisbak met 'n barde geraas ingegooi. 'n Paar minute later het die vullisverwyderaar aangekom en die skoen in die blik gesien. Dis 'n baie beter skoen as my ou eeD, bet hy gewoDder en dit aangetrek en weg gebobbel. Nadat hy al die vullisbakke skoongemaak hel, het hy huis toe geloop. Meteens het hy oor 'n moddergat gestruikel eD die ou skoen blameer. "Hierdie lelike ou skoen," het hy gesĂŞ en die skoen dadelik in die modder gegooi. Die skoen het daar gelĂŞ tot 'n ou boemelaar die skoen gesien hel en dit aangelrek het. Met dit het hy baie rondegeloop toldat die skoen nou baie stukkend was en tot daar baie gate in die saal was. Hy het dit dan in 'n vuur gegooi en die ou skoen het aan die einde van sy lewe in lang. rooi en geel vlamme gekom. A. Erasmus,

WHYIAMGOOD One morning while I was sitting in anotber Afrikaans teachers class which the desks were quite sakerite to the master I felt tbe boy behind me pull one of my two inch black hairs out of my scalp. The pain was tremendous, I thought I had been scalped by an Indian on the war-path. I turned around. There I saw the naughtiest boy of the class BURTON. My enemy. While I recovered from the shock I saw his assistant Hubbard. I had to think of a plan fast. My co-pilot and I were stuck and worst of all we would go bald. We had to think of a plan fast!! I didn't have my screwdriver with me so we could not use the desk top as a shield. Just lhen two hairs were pulled out of Lewis' head. I tried to stop him from shouting by raming a pen down his throat. But Mr. Heath saw us and it did look as if we were involved. Copped! and as punishment we each had to write a S.A. on how to behave in class, but from now on we know that writing an S.A. is no fun. And we suddenly know how to behave. P. Brits. 68. THE SUBWAY The subway sank deep below the railway line into darkness. The slimey steps squelched under the weight of an old tramp's feet, looking for shelter from the rain. At the bottom of the subway a tiny bulb gave a feeble glow. On the walls was writing: love, peace, dirt, booze. Further on the air smelt of stale urine. Then up the other side into the darkness. G. Bruce, 6B. CAPE TOWN The cool, watery smell; golden layers of hot sand; the sea, a brilliant greenish blue sending off a coarse salty odour; the lonely surfer bobbing like drift wood as he waits for a wave; tbe sunbather, a swarthy brown; the odour of rotting sea-weed intermingling with air pollution as the sun sinks down through the layers of dust and spray-all these assail the senses of the watcher on the shore. A. Marx, 6B.

DIE VRYGEWIGSTE PERSOON WAT EK KEN Hier staan by. Reg voor my. Hy bet 'n sukses van sy lewe gemaak en is nou 'n baie welvarende man. Hy gaan gereeld kerk toe en gee meer as sy tiende van sy salaris aan die kerk. Dis nou vir jou vrygewig, of hoe? As 'n bedelaar by sy huis verbykom en aan die deur klop en vir 'n stukkie brood vra, dan nooi hy hom in en bak vir hom sommer 'n paar eiers. Hy gee hom ook 'n bietjie padkos en dan is hy net so tevrede met homself soos die bedelaar met die kos is. Die padvinders kom gereeld vir hom kuier omdat hulle dié oom 'n gunsie doen, hulle sommer 'n bele k_lomp geld kry. Hulle kan dan seker die prys wen vir die beste padvinder as buJ1e die meeste vir die padvinderklub doen. Ek bet ook baie respek vir die man omdat hy so baie vir ander mense met geldprobleme belp. Hy gee ook geld aan die blindes en dowes en dié wat nie kan loop nie. Nou wie kan sê dat hierdie wonderlike man nie vrygewig is nie? Ek trek my das reg en draai van die spieël weg. L. de Jager. 9A. SOUNDS The sound of rippling water gliding with a faint murmur down the river bed, Chattering over stony patches, Sounds of peace ... The tumultuous wave crashes with a thundering roar Against the rocks Swirling and hissing between the crevices. The water rustles as it runs down the rocks To splash in the bubbling pools below. Sounds of motion ... The rustling of trees and whispering grassCroaking of frogs mingling with the gentle swish of jumping fish. While the lowing of cattle comes floating on the sighing breeze. Sounds of serenity ... The hum and buzz of bustling people. Whistling trains and creaking cranes Hammering, banging, shouting, Sounds of habitation ... C. Gracie. 9A. DIE 1974-KRIEKETWEEK Vanjaar bet agt spanne na Queenstown gegaan. Die spanne was Rondebosch, Plumstead, Bishops en Wynberg van Kaapstad, Selbourne van Oos-Londen, Unie van GraaffReinet en Kimberley. Oos bet op Maandag, 30 September van Kaapstad vertrek. Ons het in 'n kombi en twee motors gegaan. Ons bet eerste op Laingsburg stilgehou en daarna op Beaufort-Wes. Hierdie dorpe is nie baie groot nie en daar was nie baie om te sien nie. Omtrent balfsewe het ons by Graaff-Reinet aangekom en by 'n motel dertig kilometer van Graaff-Reinet af gebly. Daar was net ons by dié motel. Ons het omtrent balfagt aandete genuttig. Die kos was baie lekker. Ons bet daarna in die motel gesing en André McBain en meneer Jordaan het ghitaar gespeel.

Die volgende oggend het ons ontbyt geëet en toe om nege-uur vertrek. Ons was op pad Cradock toe. Cradock. is ook. 'n baie klein dorpie. Van daaraf was dit net omtrent 'n honderd kilometer van Queenstown af. Dit was omtrent drieuur toe ons by Queenstown aangekom het. Ons het by die Athlone-Hostel gebly behalwe Rondebosch wat op 'n ander plek. gebly het. Ons het daarna op die veld gegaan en geoefen. Daardie aand het ons na die dorp gegaan en party van ons het snoeker gespeel. Die ander spelers het iets daar geëet en na 'n partytjie gegaan. Die volgende dag, Woensdag, het ons ontbyt geëet en daarna teen Kimberley gespeel. Ons het die loot verloor en hulle het gekoU. Hulle het 239 gek.ry, Ons het gekolf en Farrant het 95 aangeteken. Toe was ons 70 lopies agter toe nommer tien en elf gekolf het Dit was Westgate en Munnik. Hulle het die 70 lopies gekry en ons het met een paaltjie gewen. Donderdag het ons by Poplar Grove teen Unie gespt!el. Dit was 'n plaas 30 k.ilometer van Queenstown af, Ons het die loot gewen en hulle het gekolf. Hulle het 216 aangeteken, een van hulle kolwers het 106 aangeteken. Ons het 200 vir vier paaltjies gekry. Howell het 58 aangeteken, Eyre 44, en Cawood 42. Vrydag was nie 'n goeie dag nie. Ons het eerste gekolf teen Queen's College en 67 aangetek.en. Hulle het 68 vir een paaltjie gekry en ons het met nege paaltjies verloor. Dit was die enigste wedstryd wat ons verloor het. Ons het Saterdag teen Selbourne gespeel. Ons het 156 gekry. Calder het 39 aangeteken. Toe hulle gekolf het, het Cawood ses paaltjies gekry en hulle was almal uit vir 87. Toe het ons dit gewen. Woensdagaand het ons die burgemeester ontmoet. Ons het kos en koeldranke gekry en die burgemeester het Tony Greig 'n medalje gegee. Donderdag het ons bioskoop te gegaan en "Diamonds on Wheels" gesien. Baie van die spelers het gekom. Tony Greig wat na Engeland gegaan het om krieket te speel, het na Queenstown gekom om sy ouers te kom kuier. Terwyl hy daar was, het hy ons toegespreek. Hy het ons vertel hoe hy vir Engeland gespeel het en van al die dinge wat hy in Engeland gedoen het. Ons kon ook vir hom vrae vra. Die laaste aand het ons 'n dansparty gehad. AI die spelers was daar en almal het dit geniet. Almal het die toer baie geniet, maar ons was bly toe ons weer in Kaapstad aankom. S. Howell, 9B.

RE!N Die plaashuis staan eensaam op die wye vlakte. Oor die kaal veld dwaal 'n paar opgedroogde koeie en brandmaer skape rond op soek na iets om te vreet. Saam met die vlieë sit ou oom Hendrik op sy agterstoep. SO ver as sy oog kan sien, strek sy droë lande voor bom uit. Vir dae aan een bid hy nou al elke aand om reën. As die droogte langer aanhou, sal hy sy plaas moet verlaat. Waar moet hy met Marikk.ie en die twee seuns heen? Teen sononder begin 'n ligte windjie waai. Weer eens skep oom Hendrik moed en na die aandete lees hy weer uit die groot, swart BybeL en bid om reën. Soos baie nagte te vore gaan hy daardie aand weer bed toe. Hy twyfel nog of hy gedroom het, toe sy vrou, tant Malie, hom meedeel dat sy die weer hoor dreun het. Minute later staan oom Hendrik. en sy gesin saam met die eerste druppels op die stoep. Ook die plaasvolk bet aangesluit by die dankbare witmense en te midde van die reën wat al harder geval het, het oom Hendrik hardop God gedank. Saam met die vallende reën het almal opgewonde begin lag en gesels. Kleurling kleingoed het lawaaierig in die water begin mors. Jn die kraal het 'n koei gebalk en ou Bles se runnik het mooi geklink in die nag, want hy het die reën geruik. Die droogte was verby. A. Maritz, 9C.

ONE HOUR TO GO The bell rang for break and there wa a general ru h to the door. A he left the cia room, the clang continued to ring in hi ea r . together with the ma Ier' word.

Merrington,

A ROOM WITH A VIEW Julian trong was born of poor parents in the b kwater village of Helmutsru. It wa perhaps ju~t a~ ~ ell that he had no opportunities to mi \oI.-ithother people, no grand ,chool to attend locally, and no ociety to yearn for in the dried-up little Ba ter illage, for Julian Janu trong wa the cia ic example of rural inbreeding-Julian had t\o"o heads. Thi, wa evident from birth to be no impie ca e of" iame e" twin. Here were t\ 0 head, perfectly developed, hared hy one body, perfect in form. He wa , poor oul, regarded b the upcr_ tition-reared local a "Devilpawn". He wa barred from unday chool, and this rejection b conventional ociet wa the. cal that made his life a closed book to anyone but hi parent and him elf. Julian rebelled in late adole cenct:, the re uit of ,·too much reading of book ", and

against all admonitions he set off to carve himself a niche in Paarl. the great town. He was of an artistic nature in both talent and temperament and havng set up a form of studio in his shabby rooms, he began to pursue a career that startled and amazed critics and feUow artists, and led to terrific clashes in temperament, both between himself and local artists and between His Two Equally Developed Brains. Having two brains was like a revolution against all previous social and intellectual norms. The concepts arising from Julian Janus' phenomenon were so mind-boggling that we poor "monorninds" could scarcely begin to visualise the implications imposed on Julian However, all the revolutionary implications became manifest through the painting by Julian of his meagre dwelling-room, the amazing piece of work being entitled "A Room with a View". When Julian began working on this painting, his two minds were worlds apart. One was full of deep, moving emotions connected with having unwillingly scared a desirable creature into hysteria by the poking of his two heads round a corner; the other mind was taken up with social and intellectual problems, having just read a newspaper article on the South African Society. He went to work on the mundane scene; three drab walls, a tin trunk, bed and coir-mat, with a window flung open to a vista of oak trees incongruously set off with dustbinned back yards of adjacent houses. The painting began fairly enough. He kept the tones cool. diffident. The ba ic scene, although a fair representation, had little meaning. Then his bitter. thwarted mind turned to the dustbins, a dead eat and the sparse room, and on were slashed, with impulsive fury, burning reds and malevolent, lurking black shadows. Julian's second mind hit back. It brought a breath of stability and assurednes in the dark, solid oaks. The mingling of the factors reduced fury to petulance, and again the bitter mind reacted with an explosion of loose, fiery strokes that broke up the picture and made it a heaving sea of hissing, penetrating colour. Back to intellect. A critical moment, and the previous shock treatment was cut up, dissected, turned inside out so that the picture seemed in itself one great view, an insight into Julian's minds. He went on with the painting all through the day, and into the evening, wreaking on the canvas all the pent-up juxtaposed emotions and thoughts that had hammered between his twin heads ever since he had grown aware of the world. The final product of his art was something entirely new. The divided, bitter yet critical ideas imposed on the plain subject presented the painting like a room with a deep, penetrating view into the workings of a mind torn between reality and the world of dreams. Julian himself never realised the insight presented by the picture, because the conflict that surged through his veins from one head to the other had proved too much for his artistic constitution, and the the stresses had built up to a glorious climax of coloured canvas so Julian of the two heads fell down and died at the foot of the easel. P. Merrington, lOA. OLIE Daar staan in die Bybel geskryf: "'n Goeie naam is beter as olie:' Selfs in die ou tye was olie, egter plante-olie. veronderstel om lig en warmte te verskaf. Vandag is die "swart goud" so lewensbelangrik vir elke ontwikkelde land, dat dit nou baie nuttiger as 'n goeie naam is. Tn die Donker Eeue het die krygsmanne 'n om ingelde kasteel met groot stukke brandende kledingstof wat in olie geweek i , gebombardeer. Deesdae gebruik ons olie vir honderde verskillende doeleindes. Ru-olie bestaan uit die liiggaamsappe van talle eeue-oue diertjies en plantjies wat al lankal dood is. Hierdie vuil, sanderige vloeistof lĂŞ in die aarde in 'n tamaai grot opgegaar en word meestal saam met natuurlike gas en water ontdek. Omdat olie oral gebruik word, besit lande met oliebronne 'n waardevolle ekonomiese handelsartikel. Hoe meer bulle uitvoer, hoe meer vervaardigde artikels kan hulle van

Westerse lande invoer. Hulle kan olie ook as 'n ekonomiese wapen gebruik en die ont· wikkelde lande met belaglike boë pryse afpers. Daar is egter ook die slegte sy van die gebruik van olie. Ons strande word deur sleepbote besoedel en die lug word vuil van die rook van motors en masjiene. Die wêreld se oliereserwes kan ook nie vir altyd voortduur nie. Wetenskaplikes beweer dat die atoom wonderlike krag kan lewer sonder besoedeling en die ander nadele van olie. Olie is dus nie die alfa en omega van ons meganiese wêreld nie. Wie weet. as die jaar 2000 aanbreek, miskien gebruik die mense dan nie meer olie nie. E. Klaussner, IDA.

ONE HOUR TO GO Seven o'clock. One hour to go. I should have realised that it wouldn't have been as ea.r1y as seven. So now I have to sit outside this door and wait and wait. They're clapping again. I'll open the door and see. Look at the people, or rather the heads, sticking up from behind the chairs, each head just like the next. They're clapping even louder. Ob! now [ see wby. He's just won a diploma. "And he's only just eleven," says one. "He played like a maestro," say the rest. I can't bear to hear any more. My body is frozen deep down inside. My heart hurdles and performs clumsy pirouettes within its cage. I might as well sit down. Time? Another forty-six and a half minutes. I suppose the best thing to do would be to revise exactly what I am going to do. Yes! Now let's see. As competitor number six gets up from his seat and walks down the aisle-oh! he's so lucky, he can't have as long a walk as I have, but I don't know how he can bear to sit in that auditorium and hear them saying, "Onlyeleven, played like a maestro," but then I suppose, on second thoughts, he probably also plays like a maestro and so he has no worries, but me-oh! I'm going to make such a mess and I'm sixteen. What am I doing here? And another thing; I don't suppose he comes an hour early. My thoughts are flying all over the place. Now. concentrate on what you are going to do. When competitor number six reaches the second last cadence I shall rise. I must not forget my music. Imagine if [ did tha!, if I got balf-way down the aisle and realised I'd forgotten it and have to turn back and fetch it and everyone would stare at me-but then they are going to start at me anyway. How sball I walk? Must be straight up. ['II start going red, I know. I must walk briskly and smile sweetly, especially at the adjudicator and, of course. the mayor and mayoress. Tben up the steps, one at a time so 1 don't slip and then I'll announce my piece without a quaver in my voice, confidently and powerfully, and tb en I'll play-and £11 play like a maestro making this pathetically easy piece, espe.cially for someone sixteen, magnificent. But I'll have to play better tban a maestro, 'cos I'm sixteen. So what am I panicking and shaking for? The air must be cold. That's it. The air's cold. And anyway, so what if I make a complete mess and absolute fool of myself? But then, my whole music mark depends on this, and my total aggregate depends on my music mark and my bursary [ need depends on my total aggregate and my course at 'Varsity depends on my bursary and my whole life, love, marriage, pension and perhaps even the life after this depends on the job T get with that degree. Therefore everything, everything, depends on how I do now. What's tbe time? Stop panicking. Three minutes to go. I'll open the door a crack. Oh! that must be competitor number six.

Think rather of the young, Hot, pulsating, proud. They have their vistas, Unlike ours 'tis true, But of a world still brave and new. They are our conscience, Unfettered by a worn out creed, With courage to proclaim aloud The thoughts we dare not think, Or barely breathe. Theirs the tomorrows, Ours the yesterdays. Have you a claim upon today? David Gwyn. 'N MENS LEEF NET EEN KEER Ja, dis 'n snaakse ding, die lewe. Baie mense vra "waarom", maar ek weet dat as 'n mens die doel van hierdie lewe verstaan, dan lewe jy. Daar is te veel mense wat te min weet van hulle eie lewe; waarom hulle lewe, wat hulle in die lewe gaan doen en gevolglike het ons 'n wêreld vollanggesig Jeramias. Geniet die lewe terwyl jy kan! Die lewe is kort en vinnig, maar daar's tyd om baie te doen. "Verdra vandag wat vandag mag bring." "More is nog 'n dag." Ja, dis waar, maar ons moet weet wat more sal bring. One moet in hierdie lewe planne vir die toekoms beraam. Daar's geen tyd om te vermors nie. Die jeug is prettig. Die skoollewe is die beste gedeelte van jou lewe! (So sê die ou mense) Ja, ek hou van die jeug, maar ek het die eers oud geword nie, ek kan nie sê wat more sal bring nie. Jeug beteken liefde. avontuur en pret. En more? Ek maak planne daarvoor. More beteken lewe, my eie familie, geen ouers! More het prente van my loopbaan in sy hande. Ek. kyk in die toek.oms en sien myself, 'n groot sakeman, sy sakke vol geld, met 'n gToot huis en 'n mooi motor. Nee, dis nie ek nie. Dis nie lewe nie. Lewe is nie geld nie, nie materialistiese modelle nie. Lewe is lewe! (ja ek weet dat dit snaaks klink, maar dit beteken iets vir my). En so kom 'n mens by die einde. Die straat loop dood. Ek is oud, ek het grys hare, tandeloos en sonder geld. maar ek is bly en daar is iets beter; ek. het iets gedoen. iets goed gedoen. Ek het gelewe! Hierdie lewe is tydelik. Kort. Ek weet dat dit net die begin van iets beter is. G. Rossiter, lOA. 41

Dunn, 1013.

Many people contributed to the success of the season. but in particular J would like to pay a sincere tribute to Mr. Fourie, the 2nd XV coach. whose loyally anj support meant a tremendous amount to me. His complete co-operation and dedication were largely responsible for the smooth manner in which the U.19A and B divisions functioned and his was a very real and valued contribution.

1st XV Being a relative newcomer to Wynberg and to Cape Town I find it is impossible to compare the quality of play produced by the 1974 1st XV with that of its predecessors. Statistically speaking. however. the team had as successful a season as any Wynberg 1st XV over the past twenty years. Most noteworthy achievements were the defeats inflicted on Rondebosch. S.A.C.S. and Bishops in the five games played against our traditional rivals. During these games, Wynberg scored eight tries; their opponents none. This is a feat which very few Wynberg 1st XV's can have achieved. The season started with only three members of the 1973 side available, but the newcomers quickly settl.ed into a really fine team, that produced many outstanding p~rformances. The excellent team spirit that prevailed throughout the season, was helped in no small measure by the valuable contributions of Kevin Morris. a strong captain, and Mark Preyser, the vice-captain. Many of the boys matured noticeably during the season both as players and young men and showed once again what a powerful character builder rugby can be at this level. The team was particularly well served by a lively. fiery pack who invariably finished a game more strongly than their opponents. The pack developed a fine understanding and constantly drove forward. The backs were rather more upset by injuries. which prevented them from developing quite the same cohesion as the forwards. Nevertheless they scored many notable tries. and their defence was particularly noteworthy. A successful three match tour of Natal was undertaken during the June holidays. The team suffered no defeats and scored 80 points to their opponents' 20. Over the season the 1st XV averaged 24-7 per game. Mark Cawood distinguished himself by being selected as a reserve centre for the first-ever South African Schools' rugby team, and has been selected for the overseas tour later in the year. Ricky Farrant scored 134 points during the season.

SHORT REVIEW OF GAMES Vs. Mi/ton 12-6 Wynberg opened the season with a well deserved win over Milton from Bulawayo. The forwards played with tremendous fire, dominating the heavier opposition pack in aU phases. The general defence of the team was outstanding but the backs showed deficiencies on attack against a shallowlying. hard tackling opposition. Vs. Plumstead 9-11 On a very hot day Wynberg led 9-7 until the last five minutes. The final score distinctly flattered Wynberg who were beaten in all departments by an inspired Plumstead team. Though Wynberg lost other matches during the season, thi was in my opinion the only time they were outplayed. Vs. S.A.C.S. 10-0 Although beaten for possession by the S.A.C.S. forwards, an outstanding team defence and full use of scoring opportunities saw Wynberg deservedly win by 10-0. The Wynberg forwards were never again mastered during the season, and a measure of their steady improvement could be gauged from the manner in which the S.A.C S. forwards were outplayed in the return game. Vs. St. Josephs 60-0 Wynberg scored a runaway victory over a weak St. Joseph's team. Many thrilling movements were seen and a pleasing aspect of the Wynberg play was that their game did not deteriorate at aU as often happens in a one-sided match.

Vs. Northlands High School 33-11 While not reaching the heights of the previous game, Wynberg played some extremely fine rugby particularly in the first half. Vs. Kloof 17-3 With most of the reserves playing, the team took time to click and looked decidedly lethargic against a tigerish Kloof team. 13 of the points were scored in the last fifteen minutes. Vs. Paarl Gymnasium 13-16 A very even game which could easily have gone the other way but which on balance the Paarl boys probably just deserved to win. The game was characterised by an extremely hard forward battle, but had plenty of attractive rugby seen as well. Vs. Strand 12-18 Wynberg were weil on top for the first 20 minutes and, leading 12-6, appeared to be gaining a tight grip on the game. At this point the vicecaptain was injured and with 14 men, Wynberg fell away most disappointingly, allowing Strand to come right back into the game and win rather comfortably. Vs. S.A.C.S. 6-3 A pleasant open game which Wynberg deserved to win by more. Particularly well served by the forwards who dominated throughout, Wynberg came very close to scoring more tries. and S.A.C.S. Were never really in the game. Vs. Bishops 18-6 With both sides fielding weakened back divisions. the result depended on the ability of the Wynberg forwards to master their counterparts, and to enable Wynberg to gain a rather easier victory tban had been anticipated.

SEVEN-A-SIDE

RUGBY

Wynberg entered three teams in tbe annual scbools' seven-a-side rugby competition. The A team captained by Curly Calder, was extremely strong and won the Southern Schools' competition organised by Villagers, by beating S.A.C.S. 12-10 in the zonal final. They also beat the winners of the Northern zone- Tygerberg-in the final at Newlands by 34-12. The team consisted of Cal der, Farrant, Cawood, Eyre, Barker, Spolander and Knight with Westgate tbe reserve. On their passage to the final they accounted for Westerford B 60-0, Rondebosch B 26-0, Groote Schuur A 16-4 and Bishops A 26-10. My tbanks to Mr. Jordaan who helped to train the seven-aside teams and congratulations to tbe A team for their notable success, but in particular to Calder, who proved a most successful and brainy captain for this type of rugby.

Vs. J. G. Meiring 54-0 A very weak J. G. Meiring team offered only token resistance to the rampant Wynberg team who only failed to score more points by relaxing a great deal in the (inal quarter. Vs. Rondebosch 9-3 Rondebosch, who bad experienced a rather lean season, produced a stirring effort in tbeir last game, and kept Wynberg at fuU stretch for tbe entire game. Victory in this game completed tbe most notable "grand slam" for Wynberg against their old traditional rivals.

OLD BOYS' GAME A fine open game against the Old Boys played in the usual outstanding spirit, was won in impressive fashion by the school XV by 30-10. Particularly outstanding on the school side was the tenacious defence and the passing. The Old Boys consisted of Ken Horton, Doug Hopwood, Marius Oostbuizen, Trevor Hewitt, Johnny Cawood, Lionel Wilson, Seymour Casper, Brian Rookledge, Mike English, Oes Humphries, Nic Fine, Dale Calder, John van Niekerk, Neville Askew and Bruce Probyn.

L. du Plessis: Strong tight head prop who always made life very difficult for the opposition and who was a great help to the hooker on the tighthead ball. General play rather limited, but most valuable to the team as a scrummager. K. Morris (ca pt.) : Good leader, quick striker of the ball and a sound all round forward. M. Westgate: A Jan Ellis type of flank. dangerous in the broken loose; scored eight tries during the season. Good at trapping the ball in the loose. fast and with good hands and feet. G. Spolander: A Boland Coetzee type of flank, nuggety and always foraging for the loose ball. He and West~ate supplemented each other well. Lack of height may be handicap. G. Barker: Fit, hardworking 8th man who covers a tremendous amount of ground in a match. Often underrated. A. Knight: Together with Louw comprised the best pair of schoolboy locks in the Western Province. Tall and mobile and a good jumper for the ball. Perhaps best position in enior rugby would be 8th man. A. Louw: Virtually first season of rugby, has tremen'jous potential as a lock. Without any doubt the finest lineout jumper in the W.P. schools, and a very hard scrum mager. Could have a big future. R.e.

It might be apposite

at this point in the year to ask of a group of players what the pa t season has meant to them. Have they enjoyed it, have they learnt anything, was it worthwhile? Members of the Under 19C and 19D teams would, r am sure, answer "yes" to all the above questions. The unbounded enthusiasm of the players for practices and matches enabled us to run two full sides for the whole season. This was largely due to the running. adventurous type of rugby both teams tried to play which always involved the whole team and gave all fifteen players the opportunity to run with and handle the ball, which i after all what the game is about. We played it our way and forced our opponents to adapt. The standard of play of both sides improved enormously and the C in particular learned to play an innovative, varied game with many players obviously learning much about the individu:l1 skills. A fine spirit prevailed in both teams and win or lose, mistake or perfection, players stuck together, played to the laws and enjoyed their games. A regular attendance at practices was also quickly learned and this allowed them to ride out disturbances caused by illness, injury and promotion. Neither side won 'all its matches and the ability of several players did not receive appropriate recognition. but if at the end of a season one can ay "J feel I'm a better player and a better person for having been part of Wynberg's Rugby tradition" then hasn't schoolboy rugby's purpose been fulfilled? Rugby is a team game so. without mention of individuals' names, to captains and reserves, withdrawals and late-joiners: congratulations on a wonderful season.

UNDER 198 The main difficulty of the Under 19B team was to field a backline strong enough to obtain the necessary penetration. There were few other weaknesses. The strength of the team lay in the ability to obtain possession in scrums, lineouts and loose scrums. Here the team proved itself to be better than most other teams they played. Hard workers like Askew, Renton and Lourens distinguished themselves on many an occasion and were unlucky not to be selected for the first team. The second team won or drew half its matches. Those lost were lost by very narrow margins. lt can safely be said that the success of the first team was in some measure due to the opposition provided by the second team which maintained a fine spirit and played good rugby enjoyed by spectators and players alike. Sponsored

UNDER 16A & 168 The team started the season in a fine spirit, confident after the first friendly match against Bergvliet that tbe reputation of the previous year would again prevail. Unfortunately injuries and illness affected play and these resulted in a lack of confidence. The team many a time excelled itself only in the last ten minutes of the game. Although there were many changes it was only to, wards the end of the season that the replacem'!nts showed their true capabilities when they adapted themselves and co-ordinated well. Despite the indifferent record the games were enjoyed by all.

Parent support never (altered, not even after some rather heavy defeats. It was good to see such keenness on the part of the parents and tbeir sons. It was a happy season enjoyed by all.

The pack, ably led by Wayne Gabb developed into a hard, closely working machine, giving a large percentage of the possession to tbe backline which consisted of players with handling ability, imagination and skill far beyond their years. The team developed a successful pattern of play, moving the ball swiftly to the wings where Peter Williams, who scored 27 tries during the season (eight in one mateb) and Geoffrey Sachs (15 tries), both players of great promise. put in many determined and spectacular runs which delighted spectators and depressed the oppositivn time and again. The B team had a less successful season, but showed a great improvement in the second half of the season when the teams began to form into a cohesive whole. Michael Bush, until he was promoted to the A team. led the team with great enthusiasm and determination. Mark Fischer, who had not played rugby before this season couid often be relied upon to score a suicidal try from a most unlikely position. Both teams developed a style of play that was both attractive and effective and, should they continue in this way. will be formidable sides with an enthusiastic following of spectators.

UNDER 13C If this report were to take the form of a re ults round-up for the season. it would be a rather sombre one because more than half the C team games were lost. Tt should be remembered that many of them were against B teams. The season started with ju tover 20 boy, many of whom were nervous a they had never played rugby before. but as the ea on progres ed the players developed into a fairly sound team. Jf the names of those who showed potential and keenness, almost all the name would be mentioned. Botha did a good job as captain.

Wynberg Boys' High School athletics seems to be improving as the years go by. Slowly but surely, all the old records, some of which have stood for over twenty years, are being broken. Soon the whole of the school's record book will have to be rewritten. Outstanding for the school again this past se:J.son were the Eyre brothers, Brian and Alan. Both dd extremely well although David was plagued by injury and so had a quiet season. At the Peninsula inter-school sports helds at Bellville, Brian won the U .16 100 metres in 11,2 and the U .16 long jump with a record effort of 20 ft. 2t inches. He was second in the U.16 200 metres after having recorded the fastest time of the meeting in the heats. Allan, at the same meeting, also won the U.14 lOO metres and tbe long jump. They were both selected to represent Peninsula Schools at the Western Province Schools' Championship. Both had to compete out of their age groups-Allan U.IS and Brian U.17. Allan came third in the U.IS 100 metres while Brian jumped superlatively to win the U.17 long jump with a jump of 20 ft. 9 ins. The Athletics Club was weU run by Mr. Watkins, who organised the School Athletics meeting. He was always available for coaching and laying out practice tracks. We are grateful to him. Unfortunately, the Athletics Captain, Antony Burman, was not as active as he would have liked, being incapacitated by a troublesome knee injury. We look forward to a successful season next year.

There was a core of keen players in the third team but unfortunately the team was filled by people who for some unknown reason at one stage expressed a willingness to play hockey. It is to the credit of the keen "core" that they maintained their interest to the end. The results are not as bad as they appear at first sight as many of their opponent were school second teams.

UNDER路15 HOCKEY

OLD BOYS' MATCH Tbi was played on Founder' in a 5-2 win for the chool.

This ha been an active season for the fortyplus boy in thi age group. And what a mixture, with the rawest of beginner having a go at the veterans of Mr. Heath's coaching. Unlike the rugby player who u ually has some years' experience of the game by the time he reaches the high chool. the hockey player starts virtually from cratch-and that is no mere idiom. as the pitted urface of our one and overworked hockey pitch will te tify. It is unfortunate that our beginners have to tart playing league matches so early in the eason. before coaches and player have had time to ort themselve out. Our early results clearly how our unavoidable lack of preparation, aggravated by the absence of a couple of key players.

P l-

When, in the history of W.B.H.S., have there been two successive years in which a W.B.H.S. boy has been chosen for the S.A. Nuffield Xl? We congratulate all concerned on this outstanding achievement, especially Alan Lamb and, currently. Gary Bricknell. Against so many odds and with so many handicaps, it was indeed a wonderful achievement for Gary Brick.nell to be selected. We had three members of our 1st Xl selected to represent their province in the Nuffield Week held in Pretoria. r am told on good authority that the selectors in Pretoria were considering Garth le Roux as a possible opening bowler for the S.A. Nuffield XI as well-bad luck Garth, keep on trying! By sheer determination and some excellent cricket Brian Barnett was also given the local selectors' nod and joined the thirteen W.P. players with Garth and Gary. Stephen Howell has taken over the reins of captaincy from his illustrious predecessors Alan Lamb and Gary Bricknell, and with quiet efficiency and command he has mastered the situation and is fast filling the vacancy left by our two representatives. Our first team coach last season was David Whitfield of Alma and W.P. We are greatly indebted to David for all the conscientious work he put into improving and polishing up our first XL He had great success with Gary Bricknell. Stuart Leary also coached some of our players on Wednesdays during the PT. periods, and he was most conscientious in his efforts to improve the technique of our young players. Mr. Lionel Heath had the privilege of visiting the U.K. for three months and during bis absence Messrs R. ConneLlan and J. Blake supervised the first X[ very successfully. Our schoolmaster coaches Lindsay Eachus (2nd Xl), Johan Louw (3rd XI), Clive Jordaan (4th X[), Vere Park.ins (5th XI) coached the senior sides and the junior were coached by Tim Southey (U 15A), Rynhardt Frauenknecht (U 15B), Brian Ingpen (U I SC), Jim Mathew CU 14A), Mike Harris CU l4B), Mr. Botes (U 14C) and Mr. Alfred Morris (U 14D) and Les Fernandez the pool cricket teams. With this excellent supply of keen coaches we were able to

choose a team of coaches that was able to give a good account of itself against the Rondebosch Boys' High School Staff. Keenness often produces the necessary spark to trigger off brilliance amongst the players in a coach's team. Th.is virtue is possessed by some of our coaches and we look forward to the products of keenness reaching the 1st XI in the years that lie ahead. Thank you for the hours of sacrifice and help you have devoted to the interests of the cricket under your care. Our boys are indeed fortunate to be able to play on such well prepared pitches. Our grounds supervisor, Mr. J. Payne, has always endeavoured to help our players to enjoy their cricket as much as possible by preparing wickets with meticubus care. We look forward to the days when the outfield will match the standard of the turf wickets, and if the shabby pickets could be replaced we could be justly proud of the facilities we have to offer our cricketers at Wynberg. lt is distressing to find the scoreboards mutilated by destructive vagrants on the Hawthorndene fields, but this is the case and it is most frustrating to the organisers. However, Mr. Tim Southey and his helpers are to be congratulated on providing each team with all their cricketing gear throughout the season. Cricket in South Africa continues to be played at a high inter-provincial level but suffers the same tragic lack of international competition as the Rugby players have just experienced. We sincerely hope that the situation will clear in such a way as to allow freedom of movement between our country and international sporting bodies in other parts of the world. ln our local Senior Cricket league we were pleased to record the success of the Technical College team which won the competition. To Neville Budge and Mike Bowditch, the captain and vice-captain respectively, and the six old boys in the team, we express our sincere congratulations. M ike also did well for the Western Province team, as did Roy Clark, John Cawood and Alan Lamb who is completing his A.C.F. training in Pretoria. For the W.P. Colts, Quentin Rookledge, Roy Clark and Mickey Giles, also did well,

Lt wa pleasing to beat our Old Boys and to end the term with a win against St. Josephs, but we were beaten by eight wickets against Bishops. We were unlucky to have our match against Rondebosch drawn, but were fortunate to hold out for a draw against S.A.C.S. Against W.P. Cricket Club 2B honours were even, although Western Province received first inning's points. The school did well to come within 12 runs of Western Province's total of 196. The game eventually petered out in a draw. Anthony Vann headed our batting averages with an average of 33,3 runs followed by Stephen Howell with 27. Kevin Munnik had the best bowling average of 8,5 runs per wicket with Richard Farrant, second, with 14,3 and Mark Cawood. third, with 14,6. Mark Cawood took 18 wickets and Richard Farrant 13.

A report of this nature would be incomplete if

r did not mention with sincere tbanks the members of the P.T.A. Ladies' Committee who so faith路 fully look after the material needs of the players during refreshment recesses. Especially to Mrs. Ronaldson and Mrs. Bricknell and their helpers we would express our gratitude, and also to Matron and the Staff of Littlewood House for pro路 viding lunches for the 1st XI when home matches are played. The scorers at each match are also to be thanked for their untiring efforts. The House matches were won by Wellington House this year. The Junior matches were won by Van Riebeeck and the Senior competition by Wellington, with Wellington running out the ultimate winners on the total number of points gained. They receive the Holrnes House Cup for this achievement. The September week was held in Cape Town in 1973 and we were hosts to the Selborne College team. A report of the week appears elsewhere. Suffice it to say that we enjoyed an excellent week. Mr. Heath and the parents involved-especially Mrs. Damain-Harris-are to be thanked for their assistance. hospitality and generou catering when the teams lunched at W.B.H.S.

WEEK

OTHER MATCHE On the whole, score were far higher than thO'e of the first term and thi was undoubtedly influenced by the deci ion to play senior matche over two Saturday. Batsmen were given a chance to establish themselves. A late declaration by Rondebosch resulted in that match fizzling out to a draw af ter we were five run behind on the fir t inning. thanks to a fine 94 n.o. by Gary Bricknell. The Plum. teld match proved the mo t exciting as we needed 98 run to ~ in in 50 minute. We got 97 runs and did not score off the last nine balls and 0 threw a\ ay an excellent chance of victory. The .A ... game was reduced to a one day game and our victory could have been far more convincing.

was held in ape Town Selborne College. A fine the ~ eck and some firm hed.

The ucces of lhe week was due largely lo the support from Wynberg parents who provided accommodation, tran 路port. lunches and teams and we are deeply indebted to them. Except for a very poor match again t nion High. where we had to bat first on a wicket on which play would normally not have taken place, we fared very well. We beat elbourne. Grey and Dale-the last mentioned had been unbeaten up to that tage of the year.

Gary BriekneIl and Brian Barnett continued to lead the side well and Garth le Roux's bowling improved considerably. Gary BriekneIl bowled exceptionally well during the Schools' Cricket Week and was awarded a bat as the best bowler. He also won the Cape Times bat for his all路 round performance against Rondebosch. The bowling and fielding were of a high standard again although perhaps not as high as that of the first term. The batting had its ups and downs. Gary Bricknell was the only one to strike form and although he lived dangerously he amassed some fine totals. There were some fine performances-a 40 run 9th wicket partnership by David Eyre and Anthony Vann against Grey and a 50 run 8th wicket partnership by David Eyre and Ricky Farrant against Plumstead. However, against Rondebosch, when we were five runs behind on the first innings and with BriekneIl on 94. three batsmen threw away their wickets. The team was very pleased to have the services of Mr. Tony Whitfield as coach during the last term and this system of coaching is obviously far better in many ways than obtaining the servict:S of a professional from overseas. Gary Bricknell. Brian Barnett, Garth le Roux. David Eyre and Stephen Howell all played in the final Nuffield Trial. Gary BriekneIl, Brian Barnett and Garth le Roux were all selected for the Nuffield Team to take part in the Nuffield Tournament in Pretoria where Gary Bricknell earned his S.A. Schools' cap. Once again thanks go to the mothers. especially Mrs. Ronaidson. for providing teas; to Mr. Mathew for his organisation; and to Mr. Payne and his groundsmen for the preparation of the fields. L.H.

The 2nd Team enjoyed a fairly successful season. Although we started off very shakily we ended off the season very well. Our team had an abundant supply of fast bowlers while there were hardly any spin bowlers. r think our main fault lay here as we could not add a great deal of variety to our attack. Christopher Hyland did well with his off-spin while later in the season Kevin Munnik came off in one or two matches .. Here are the results

We cannot boast a good record this term but all players, and there were indeed many. enjoyed their cricket very much. We had some very close games. for instance against Bishops when time ran out on us. against Zwaanswyk when an excited scorer caused the batsmen to go out too soon, and the Westerford game which ended in a tense tie. Our best bowlers were Hawla and Bell, and the most successful batsmen were Swanson and Hawla.

UNDER 15A TEAM This has been a most enjoyable term's cricket. Of the six matches played, we suffered three defeats. With tbe improvement J saw throughout the season. T am confident that we can now do better. However, the most important point to be made is that the boys certainly enjoyed their cricket. and this, after all, is the essence of the game. Mention must be made of the two kingpins, Peter Hanmer and Anthony Wallander, both of whom. besides setting a fine example in terms of spirit and etiquette. were the main run scorers and wicket-takers. Hadwen led the team ably and ofte'1 showed initiative.

FOURTH TEAM In the first half of the 1974 season, the 4th team did well to win three out of eight matches, drawing two and losing three, considering that the team was made up largely of players who were for the first time playing senior cricket. The most satisfying win was against Bishops who scored 106 all out (Bing 4/20), while Wynberg equaUed this tally for only three wickets (Bing 32. Ford 36). Hawla, in this match, showed himself to be a bowler of great promise and consequently was soon promoted. R. Murray and D. Anderton often turned in fine scores for the team and Hawla, Ford and Bing, who proved an invaluable all-rounder, often did more than their share at the crease to prevent a collapse. The better bowlers for the side were Bing. Anderton and Ford. who could well rely on good fielding, particularly from Schroeder, who performed some surprising, if not miraculous fielding feats. We thank Paul Barichievy for scoring regularly for us. O. JOHNSTON. M. GREEF.

Spolander, Bendix and Punt were the most successful batsmen, the first having a highest score of 43 n.o. Bendix doubled as an excellent wicket-keeper whom we were lucky not to lose to the 4th team. The most successful bowlers and their best match figures were Spolander (6/38). Watling (5/10) and Schroeder (4/28). Regular team members were Watling (capt.), Bendix, Louwrens. Spolander.

UNDER 140 TEAM

As to the playing, the squad did not show the fine bowling tandards of previous years although A. Marx. R. Davies, M. Dairs and C. Luman have showed great promises. A. Hooper, M. Hiuworth, M. Belonsky and J. P. Geyer performed well in the middle-order batting. Our weakness has been with "openers". C. Luman performed weil against Henshilwood. Milnerton and Plumstead as first batsman but otherwise the upperorder has been a little weak.

The members of this team soon welded themselves into a strong run-getting and wicket-taking machine. Only once did this machine falter and that was when playing against President "B" team. It should be recorded that Wynberg enjoyed all the matches, especially that one and the spirit in which it was played. The hospitality, friendliness and skill of our opponents were much appreciated.

A. Lloyd. M. Belonsky and A. Brown and A. Klopper have the abiljty to "hold" in the face of fast and spin bowlers.

The batsmen, were consistent n.o., 48, 31, 31, were 64. 40. 32. of 50 runs.

The most exciting match of all was probably against Plumstead High. During the course of three hours play, they were all out for 15 runs in answer to our 18.

A. Williamson and B. Buddell, rungetters, the former scored 63 31. Brian Buddell's best scores 29. r. Harris had a good innings

The most successful bowlers were Wilson and Buddell.

Scoring was very slow but the Davies/Dairs combination helped us to a thrilling win. The squad under the able leadership of J. P. Geyer and C. Luman is looking forward to a more successful second half of the season.

SHOOTING La t year Wynberg started shooting again. A team was entered for the Western Province Championships so that we could find out how the competition is run and what is expected of the participating teams.

UNDER 14C TEAM The U.14C Cricket side have had a fair first half of the cricket season. They lost three of their matches, one against President's U.14A, and another was lost by one run much to the excitement of all the players. The team had a good spirit and all players eemed to enjoy their cricket. MATCHES

Shooting is not an easy sport. It takes a lot of practice and dedication. We practise twice per week. but with our very unpredictable Cape weather two we.eks sometimes pass without even one shot fired! Tt is also expensive and very specialised. The Castle supplies Cadet Detachments with one pair of binoculars and one telescope. Each team needs six telescopes (one for each member) which means that we have to buy our own.

PLAYED

Vs. Sea Point: Won by eight wickets. Vs. President A: Lost by 94 runs. Vs. Bishops:

This year we entered two teams-a junior and a senior-and the boys gave a very good account of themselves by achieving fourth place in tbe Championships. This achievement gave us the encouragement we needed and we shall enter the competition in 1975 with the hope of bringing a trophy home.

STAFF At the beginning of the year we welcomed Miss P. Dring (la), Miss H. Campbell (lb), Mr. E. Richards (2b) and Mr. E. Chantler (3b) onto our staff. They have our best wishes and I express the hope that they will enjoy tbeir teaching here at Wynberg. At the end of the second term we were very sorry to Jose Mr. C. Stevens who left us for Port Elizabeth. We were very fortunate to be able to appoint Mrs. A. Clews to take over the Sub BI class. During the last term Mr. van Niekerk deputised for Mr. N. Hoy while he was on vacation leave. I tbank him for his help. At the end of the year we bave reluctantly to say goodbye to Mrs. B. Frye, Mrs. S. van der Horst, Mrs. G. Hewitson and Mrs. A. Clews. Our very sincere thanks to you all for your wonderful contribution to the growth and development of W.B.J.S. We have lost a very competent and efficient group of K .G. teachers. We wish them every happiness for the future. I wisb also to express my beartfelt thanks to the staff at W.B.J.S. for their warm co-operation, for their loyalty, helpfulness and for their contribution to the cause of education bere at Wynberg. My sincere thanks to Mrs. Richmond for the very capable and efficient way she runs the administrative side of the school. And, finally. a special word of thanks and praise to Mr. Versfeld and his staff for the happy and cheerful way in which they maintain our buildings and playgrounds.

GENERAL The apparent advantage of knowing what is going to happen in the future has always attracted the attention of man. And, so it is not surprising that we here at W.B.J.S., with our promised move to pastures new in mind, have craved to know the future. By studying the stars, observing the flight of birds, by keeping our ears to the ground and by various other means' we have anxiously sought information about our future move to our new school. We have also heard many forecasts and prophecies some of which bave been superb examples of double interpretation favourable and unfavourable thus making sure tbat the outcome was likely to be right in any event. However, with the planets suspended in their correct positions at last, the forecast for the future does seem very bright and it would appear as though we are standing on the threshold of an exciting new era at W.B.J.S. During the past year we have been visited by the usual number of inspectors. A reading group from the S.A. Guild of Speech Teachers, who read dramatised sketcbes from prose and poetry, also visited us. In October CAPAB presented a thoroughly enjoyable ba1let programme. Parents increasingly feel they have a right to know about their son's education, and even to some extent to participate in it. To bridge this communication gap between teachers and parents, we invited parents to attend meetings so that they could communicate with their son's teachers. We feel that we are improving at what .is known as "public relations".

Last year I reported that we had introduced the S.R.A. Reading Laboratories. This has proved to be a very worthwhile innovation and under the guidance of Mr. J. Bowen it is going from strength to strength. We bave achieved our aim of having an overhead projector in every classroom. We are very proud of this achievement as the overhead projector is a magnificent teaching aid. This year's choice of Lionel Bart's "Oliver! ,. provided four nights of lively and vivacious entertainment. The full value of this tuneful musical was brought out by Mr. F. Smith's exceptionally imaginative production. The stage. set at two levels, the superb back-drop and the decor designed by Mr. Bruty all bore the mark of quality. Warmest congratulations Mr. Bruty. and we are also grateful to one and all who helped to make this such a memorable occasion. My sincere thanks to Mr. Smith for yet another outstanding production. The Music Department, as usual, has had another very busy year. Our Annual Evening of Music was held in the Assembly Room on the 13th and 14th of August. The celebrated Cape Town pianist Helena van Heerden who appeared as guest artist. presented a well-balanced programme of an exceptionally high standard. This was preceded by the first appearance of our young violinists from Miss Seekers Suzuki Violin class, and songs sung by tbe Junior School Choir directed by Mrs. Elsie Jennings. The choir also entered for the Eisteddfod in May and distinguished itself by winning four cups and Diplomas. Our thanks and congratulations to Mrs. Jennings and the choir. Tbe Library, under Mr. F. Smith's guidance, continues to grow and is in constant use for project work. It is my aim next year to release Mr. Smith from some of his teaching duties so tbat be can spend more time in the Library and so be more actively involved in the running of the Library. The school has been very active on the cricket and rugby fields, on the athletic track and in the swimming bath. The results in all spheres of sport have been very encouraging and augurs weU for ipe future. Tennis. tennisette, judo and chess continue to flourish and are all keenly supported. I shall always be grateful to the staff for the long hours they so willingly spend on extramural activities. Numerous outings to various places of interest were again organised. Thjs year, for the first time, the Sub A's spread their wings and also experienced the magic of visiting some far away places of interest. As usual we supported a number of charities. We sent R320 to the School Feeding Scheme, smaller amounts to Oasis, the Aged, the S.A. National Council for the Blind, enormous boxes of tinned food to the Flood Relief Organisation and the Council for the Aged, Easter Eggs to the Lions and toys for Carols by Candlelight. My warmest thanks to you for all your support and cooperation. To Mrs. Wynne and her Tuckshop Committee, to all tbe mothers who help in the tuckshop, I extend my thanks and appreciation for the splendid job of work you do. I wish to thank all parents and friends of the school most sincerely for all your help, contributions, willing co-operation and splendid support in making Fete 74 the bumper success tbat it was. I am sure that you will gather much satisfaction from the fact that your generous help made it possible for us to raise Âą R 17000 nett. It is through your wonderful spirit of best educational facilities here :lt Wynberg be maintained. For your warm interest in the welfare very special word of thanks to Mr. Henry

STUDENTS CHRISTIAN UNION At the reque t of the pupils, a junior S.C.U. was founded. Regular meetings have been held in the hall. At these Wedne day meeting we have studied the Bible, listened to outside speakers. contested quizzes and seen films and filmstrips. Pupil have taken an active part in aU the activities. As a result of their fundraising they have been able to send contributions to the Leprosy Mission and S.C.U. organisation.

EXCURSIONS This year the boys have been on a number of interesting excursions. Besides a vi il to the Castle, the Standard five's went to visit Afrox where they were hown a film and then the oxygen and carbon-dioxide plant. Being allowed to handle dry ice was one of the highlights of the visit. The School would like to thank Messrs. Cawood and Bridgens most sincerely for organi ing the outing as weil as the tran port and pro iding the boys with delicious eats. The Standard three's and four's went to Kir tenbo ch and the Mu eum on their usual annual visit. The Standard two's went to an Apple Farm in Elgin for the day. The boys were allowed to pick apple and then went to the Co-op where they aw apples being packed. Picnic lunche had been provided by the parent and these were enjoyed at the Elgin Cricket Club. Parents provided transport for this excursion as well as for the visit to the Chapman's Peak Fisheries. After a tour of the factory the boys went over a trawler and then settled down to a picnic lunch on Hout Bay beach. A visit to Groot Constantia is also being planned. The Standard one boys thoroughly enjoyed their vi it to the Argus printing works -parents once again providing transport. Sixteen boys were caught in the lift for half an hour and that was definitely the highlight of the day as far as they were concerned. Even seeing rolls of paper five miles long and 40000 newspapers being printed in about ten minutes. did not eclipse the lift episode. The Sub A's visited the Royal Dairy where they sawa film about the dairy. They also aw bottle being cleaned. milk being bottled in plastic and glass bottles and the bottle being capped. They al 0 aw butter being made and packed. The boys certainly have benefined from these excursions and we hope to go on many more in the future. J. A. DRING.

MUSIC REPORT A long-felt de ire to continue Wynberg's long orchestral tradition (stretching back over thirty-seven year) wa realised thi year when we established the Suzuki violin class under the guidance of Mi Monique Seckei. who was appointed to W.B.I.S. in an extra-mural capacity. Girl from W.G.J.S. as well as children of pre-school going age (the ideal age to tart this method of tuition) also enrolled and wc now have a group of about thirty-five young violinist between the age of three and ten years old. Initially parents bought their own violin. but a et of twenty full-size. three-quarter-, half-, quarter- and eighth- ire violin has ince been acquired and the e are hired out to parent at a nominal fee. The school partly subsidises the tuition fee. Two violoncellos were al 0 purchased and arrangement were made for pupil to have lessons with Mi Pear on at the College of Mu ico Recorder cia es were re umed and Mi McKee taught boys from Sub A to Standard five during the econd and third term. after which les ons were continued by Mr. Smith.

A set of Orff instruments was purchased with a generous grant from the school committee, which has. as always. shown great co-operation and interest in the cultural matters of our school. Miss M. Kaldis and subsequently Miss C. Grodentzik introduced tbis form of music-making to Sub-standards A and B and Standard one. Individual piano lessons continued as usual and boys were entered for lhe Pianoforte examinations and performed at the half-yearly Piano Afternoons. at which we were also pleased by the welcome presence of Mr. Lorie, who with two boys contributed one 'cello and one violin item. Our Annual Evening of Music was held on August 13 and 14, and were were honoured to have as our pecial guest artist the well-known Cape Town pianist Helena van Heerden (Mrs. Alf Morris). Her short programme of well-chosen works was preceded by some instrumental items (including the first appearance of our young violinists) and the School Choir, directed by Mrs. Elsie Jennings. The Choir had won four cups, four gold diplomas and one Honours certjficate at the Cape Town Eisteddfod in May. and also appeared at the Prize Winner's Concert in the Green Point Civic Centre. Short instrumental and vocal recitals were given during school hours by students from the College of Music. During an informative and interesting excursion during the last week. of the second quarter, piano pupils from Standards two to ten visited the piano factory at Wellington. The School also holds three subscription tickets to the weekly City Hall concerts of the Cape Town Symphony Orche tra. These are available to the music pupils on a rotational system. Our music programme for the year was concluded with the seasonal programme of carols and readjngs. THE JUNIOR SCHOOL PRODUCTION

OF "OLIVER"

Mr. Forbes Smith look on the mammoth task. of producing "Oliver! "-Lionel Bart's musical version of Dickens' immortal novel this year, and with the close support of everyone involved, brought off a triumph for the Junior School. The production ran from the 18th to tbe 21st of September. with a matinee thrown in for good measure, and it played to pack.ed houses-a fine reflection of Mr. Smith's capable handling. There was a new feature to this year's annual production, in that adults played the adult roles and girls the female parts. However, everyone was closely connected with Wynberg. rt wa , one might say, a "family" production. Jn fact, Jim Goodacre. who took the part of Bumble the Beadle, had his whole family on tage. Such factors helped to build a strong team-spirit. Lionel Bart's adaptation of the novel. while taking the sharpness of Dickens' sense of tragedyand his social protest from the story, retain all the colour with which Dickens imbued characters that must have been very real to him. Falstaffian Bumble, callous Widow Corney (Althea Clews). sour Sowerberry the undertaker (Ray Bruty) and brutal Bill Sykes (Peter Goodacre) all take us back into the overwhelming world of Victorian London. Naturally, tbe bigh standard of singing to be found at Wynberg-thanks to efficient training by Elsie Jenningsadded lustre to the musical. and Mrs. Cawood's choreography was delightful. The title role of Oliver was shared by Howard Ramsden and Nicholas Sanders, both of Std. Five. They were both exceptionaUy well disciplined in their part, and won the sympathy of the audience through their sensitive acting and fine singing. Steven Burt and Peter Lewis, sharing the part of the Artful Dodger, captivated the audience as they led their motley crew in the musical items at the Thieves' Kitchen. Ralph Rosen playing Fagin, lhe avaricious old miser who "ran" the gang of pickpockets, was a great success almost to the point of being a show-stealer. With his worn gloves and patched coat, spiky hair and grey beard, he was the very essence of the pathetic old codger, who desired nothing more than to be rich and comfortable, yet abhorred hone t toil.

The 'tory of Oliver Twi t is \-\ell-known. The mu!.ical u. cs only the mo t ba ic e4uence of the plot. and 0 naturally the great dramatic coincidence by whil:h Oliver i reunited with the Brownlo\\s become blatantly thin. However. the rationali ation of the plot is unnece ary in a mu~ical. All that is rC4uired il. atmosphere, colour and music. And all this was to be found in the Junior chool production of Oliver. We were ~\\'ept away in a world of mu ic and of almost magical moralit where, in the end. all come to a happy conclu ion. The memory I retain of Oliver i one of the whole ast in a blaze of colour and co tume and drunken revelry in the inn of the Three Cripple. led by Tang (Biddy Frye) in the inging of the ditty "Oom-pah-pah!"

DOUBLE AGENT The glass cutler slid neatly through the pane. Agent 201 eased the circular piece of glass out onto the vast lawn. He pulled his hat down lower over his eyes and slid through the hole onto the tiled floor. He took a pair of rubber suckers and shot them onto the ceiling. They bad ropes attached to them, he grabbed onto them and swung over the electric eyes. He repeated this movement seven times before he reached the stupendous iron door. He scanned it with his electro-ray which was built into his hat-band. The electroray's telescopic-x-ray-vision-screen flashed as it detected an ultra-sonic alarm. He knew the sound would drive him mad if he did not dismantle it. He extracted his pocket alarm dismantler and dismantled tbe alarm. He pressed the button and he door slid open, revealing a filing cabinet. He knew it was not as innocent as it looked. He hurried to the side of it, and. with the help of more rubber suckers, drew himself up to the ceiling. He removed a secret telescopic radio aerial from his pocket, expanded it, and with it, he pressed the locking button and the drawers slid open. A sub-machine-gun popped up and let out sharp bursts of bullets in all directions. The agent gently lowered himself to the floor. He found the data he wanted and tben retraced bis steps, setting the alarms and removing his aids. He slipped out of the window and across the lawn of the F.B.I. He left through a hole in the fence which he had made earlier and disappeared into the night. Agent 201 was a member of F.U.M. (French Underground Movement), was a member of the K.G.B. and another agent was 009 from MI5.

agent 316

The movement met in the sewers of France. A thick set man was shouting at 201, telling him that he had better get the correct data this time or else he-d be joining agent 202 in a sewer with his feet in a concrete block. The man also said that it was probably the Russians who had done it. In Russia a similar incident was happening except 316 was told to get at the British. fn Britain, in the M IS building, a woman was teUing 009 to get the French and Russians. Each of the countries received a tip-off that bis enemy was in America.

The following morning a Boeing 747 landed at John F. Kennedy Airport. Three bags belonging to the spies were removed and stowed on a jet bound for Australia. When the owners discovered their losses, they wtnt to the Enquiries Desk. As they caught sight of each other they ran for a nearby taxi rank. Agent 201 took a taxi to the French Embassy, 316 ordered a taxi driver to follow 201 and 009 missed all the taxis, so he leapt into a MG B and tossed his wallet to the astounded owner. The engine spluttered to life and the car roared away in pursuit of 201. The owner of the MGB opened the wallet, and, apart from one-thousand States dollars, he found a note and this is what it read:

United

To the finder. 'Phone the British Embassy and tell them 009's on the trail. 009. P.S.

The Briton overtook the Russian and sped on towards 201. The gap closed, the cars were bumper-to-bumper. A revolver spat fire at 009. Seconds later the MOB's wheels locked and the car skidded, overturned and exploded when it reached the bottom of the bank at the side of the road. The Frenchman's first thoughts were that he'd got rid of 009, but then he realized he might have had the data in the car. Tbe taxi spun round and returned to the seething mass of flames. As 201 stepped out of the car, 009 sprang on him from the roof of the car where he had been since he had staged the crash. 201 fired blindly, he missed along the road. It careered down who was 316, was killed outright. 009 leapt to safety. Unfortunately from pain.

009 radioed the nearest police car to pick up his opponent. 009 wrote another note and tucked it in 201 's jacket. 009, whistling, strolled up the incline and hitched a lift to the British Embassy before the Police arrived. The note read: To the Finder. F.U.M. and K.G.B. agents thought J held the solution. ] did. J was not against America from the start. J tipped off Russia and France and I removed the suitcases.

The wind howled and claps of thunder rc-ounded in the hidden alley of the Arzec . 1 he dark, heavy cloud raced ac ros. the sky. hiding the dull, full moon. Bright lightning forked through the ky. The day before, Profe or Moor and hi' son, Bob. had arri ed bringing an old tone tatue that they had hauled from the -ea. All the Indian!. had recoiled in terror from the emg which wa taken b the High Priest and placed on the altar. It wa now night and the. treak of lightning illuminated ihe evil grin of the tatue.

They ga ve their three·q uarter a good upply of the ball only to cc it frittered away by inept back-line play. The Under 12B were proud of their achievement in the earlier part of the ca on. Many of their player worked hard and gained election in the A team. Unfortunately the high tandard wa not main· tained. The unsettled weather and 'flu alo had ils toll on team' re uit . But it i true to ay that they all thoroughly enjoyed their rugby matche . Thi year there ha been added intere t amongsl the enior cia e in rugby. We have been able to field an nder 12 team.

The players tarted off the ea on with a lot to learn. The fir t few game gave notice of the weakne e. Thi wa worked upon with great enthu i· a m and determination by all the player. A the ea on progre sed, the improvement was ati fying. Every game howed that team pirit and de· termination were developing the player into good individual player and a team playing ound rugby. Tn the third term the team really howed their ability with excellent win again 1 Bi hop (20-0), Bergvliet (15-4) and Rondebosch (4-0) . Generally a great deal of time wa pent on the forward, mainly learning the ba ic . The back-line di appointed at first but toward the end tarted moving with more rhythm. This wa perhap due 10 ariou change to gel the correct combination and po ition of the player in the back-line. My thank to the player for the way in which the responded and the tremendou team ,>pirit that prevailed. The nder Il B team had a particularly good ea on, having )0 t only three game. The player learnt early in the eason that ucce depends on much practice anel playing a a team and not a individual. The forward were the driving force in thi team and the back line did not alway u e their effort to full advantage.

The nder 12 after a reasonable tart to the ea on faded badly during the fir't half of the ea on. The three-quarter were particularly di appointing, lacking determination in defence, and thrust and penetration on attack. They were never really able to ma ter the ba ic principles of ound back-line play. The forward, however. came back trongly during the e ond e ion. Weil led by D.
