Extellsio::ls to our buildings have changed the appearance of our school. Om sport during the la~t five years bas become unrecognisably different and de5nitely of the very finest quality. Our Debating Society is an institution, and, though young in years. has a tradition of excellent work done. School performancesrecitals aml plays-have been produced from time to time, all adequately and some exceptionally well. Our e3:perience and a fresh allocation of funds assisting, a really good library is, we 'are sure, about to emerge. Above all, record examination successes came our way in the recellt Matriculation; for-for once at le谩st -the results obtained were a true measure of ability. Our successful candi<.1ates-路and we crave the indulgence of our readers for dwelling on our 1930 class- were at the same time good cricketers and footballers, keen members of our Debating Society and excellent fellows. In the seven years since 1924 we have said good-bye to some of our members-boys and staff-whom we have regretted losing; but we have always found new friends, and new persons to take the place of those wb03e loss we have for a space regretted; so that within a short time we have always found that we have had another stalwart whom we shonld find it difficult to do withont. The Magazine has had vicissitudes of its own; and we can feelingly attest the truth of the aphorism: "Tasks in hours of insight willed must be through ye.)rs of gloom fulfilled;" for after succe s with our very first issue, we experienced lean years and financial losses, difficulties of printing and uncertainty of issue, and unevenness of contributions; but with a strong Oid Boys' Union and a rich Schooi life to record \ve are now always fairly certain of offering an illteresting number to our small public. Therefore, seeing that \ve ha ve no contemporary-no sister or brother journal --to perform tbe kindly office, we have much pleasure in wishing ourselves many bappy returns of the day. 2

In Memoriam. It is with a sense of great loss that
we record the death of Mr G. E. Lincey, after a motor accident on the 1st of January in MicheU's Pass. Por si x: years a member of our School Committee, anel for many more years than six a visitor to our school functions, Mr. Lincey had come to be regarded as a part of our scbool. In all our social and sporting activities, ill both of which be either played a leading part or took a well-informed interest, he made thiugs go with a swing, particularly wben pon'ers of entertainment were called for. Blessed with great talents as an organiser and the gift of friendship, be was always looked for at At Homes, Petes, and anniversary matches, and he was seldom absent, infecting us with a boyish delight in our entertainments, anel endearing himself to us with his wit and democratic camaraderie. . To .!.liswidow and family we extend our deepest sympathy.
George Ernes! Lincey. 1877-1931
He was all wrought upon the noblest plan God has conceived for man: Large framed, large hearted, larger souled than we Again sball e'\'er see. Elizabethan, viking, paladin, To such was he akin In body's manly strength, and in all grace Untouched of time and place.

As a tall ligbthome路 bearing rock outbraves Tbe fell corroding waves That clatter round its base, and sends its light Forth-gleaming through the night, So, imperturbed he fronted with a smile And fought a weary while Life's snarling menaces which ne 'er held back Their congruent attack, Till, lest unduly should the strife prolong. The combatants among Death sprang, and with magnificent gesture burled Him to a larger world. Yet he lives on, memorial'd in each heart As one august, apart, Of nobler breed than ordinary men Who come within our ken. Yet be lives on, who never failed to lend The kindly hand, or bend The ear solicitous to tale of youth Or age that claimed his ruth. And his pervasive influence will keep, Like cleansing winds that sweep His native ,,"aIds, our meagre hearts blown clean Of petty thoughts and mean.

Our New School Committee. On the -lth May our new school committee was elected, and the magazine wishes to congratulate the successful candidates on thei r elect ion and to welcome the two new members; for of our eight 1928-30 committee si x were returned. We, therefore, extelld a hearty welcome to the two striplings of the 1931 <i~l committeeCapt. G. A. Reid and Mr. H. Boehmke-aml bid good-bye reluctantly to the Rev. G. F C. Faustman. The Rev. l"austman had been a member of the committee for the last twelve years. Such a period of service speaks for itself; and, though our magazine has met him unofficially, it can record his general pop\llarity in \Vynberg and the impression of a pleasant, vigorous personality he has always made. We wish him a happy stay in England, to which country he and Mrs. Faustman have retired. Our new committeE' are :-Mr. J. Mc Donald (Chairman). Mr. A. K. Wolfe (Secretary), Mr. H. Boehlllke, Capt. G. A. Reid, 1\1r. A. Friedlander. Professor A. C. S. Scrimgeonr and Mr. W. nuncan Taylor. THE
PREFECTS.
We congratulate these boys on having been chosen as Prefect::; for 1931, aud commiserate with most of them on the cares that their translation fr011l the state of inky-littledom will bring. They are-and the magazine thinks that the~- have sho\\"n thel11~elves worthy of the honour -du Toit, Barry, Anderson. Home. Mac Leod O'Rotlrke, Wilkinson and \\'ooley.
The Fete. On the 14th March after much anxious thought, many HOL1~e meetings-for this year the Houses ran the stalls in competition with one another--and a change of date owing to tbe discovery that the M.C.C. had most inconsiderately bagged our original date, our annl1al Pete was staged and resulted in a win for tbe School by over 100 runs against the always defeated, but always insistent. Interest Charges. The School batted first on a good wicket, Wellington contributing a useful 44, and Rhodes, which had seemed to the others 5

To an Old Rapier. Yours was an old romance that cannot die. Brocade and sil~s your age, and costly lace; A siiver sheath, a gallant's side your place, And not this shelf where yOll neglected lie. As in a dream 1 hear a ~udden cry; A cobbled :yard I see, a reddened blade, And then I wonder as the visions fade What passions guard thy De~tilly-and sigh. And yet in all, how fortunate am I, Who thus can idly dream of things gone by, Of loves long dead. And then again I feel The glitter of the cold remorseless steel, And hear again the cry, the sudden scream. And ~ee the rapier in the moonlight gleam. D. GRANGER.. 6

I dreamed a funny dream last night, While fast asleep in bed, When all the gnomes in gnomeland danced And wore their coats of red.

That night they gave a gnomes' ball For all the gnomes in gnome-land, There were in~itations for one and all And the crickets played the band.

He longed to risk all in one last stroke, to leap out and take his chance . _ ... _ but no, time was all, and he must hold off the attack a little longer. His comrades' honour depended on it. He was growing weak .... _ he felt it . he knew it. His opponents were closing in on him, inch by inch. Cold sweat broke out on his brow; it seemed ages since the last man' went. His 0f,leremaining partner was going, hit on the leg. He heard the cry of triumph from his foes ..... but no, he was still with him!

Debating Society Notes. The first. meeting of the present session was beId on the 17th April, at which Wonfor. Granger, Setzkorn, Mitchell, O'Rourke and Askew contested the question wbet ber taxatio,n in Soutb Africa was levied on sound lines. On the 8th May a ruotion centring 'on the organisation of modern society was warmly debated. The speakels on this occasion were Querido. du Toit, Lumb, Mac Leod.. Kahn and Scrimgeour. Both motions were lost by very large majorities and clearly reflected the revolutionary and advanced opinions of Wynberg: It was pleasing
to notice the ready self adju~tment to an unusual e:<>perience of those who were making maiden speeches. whilst the debating of the more experienced members was of a good standard, and was richly interspersed ,vitb true things. shrewd things, and, occasionally, profound things. Practice is apparently improving tbe style of many of the speakers who. a year ago, would have begun a debate in the middle and ended nowhere. being unable to make up their minds whether to be a charade or a practical joke. I mentiun tbis as a little warning to the younger speakers to beware of behaving like the conjuror who deliberately puts you off the scent by performing three tricks at once m:d in the end gets tbe rabbit and the silk handkerchief mixed up with the pack of cards and the flags of all nations. Listening to the speakers I was also impressed by the implicit and declared aversions of moder,n life which ruany of them possess. A pretty catholic index would. 1 think, incl11de bulldogs. babies, rice pudJings. and saxophone solos. A healthy vigour accompanied this variety of their detestations and gave evidence of some nimble thought, at the same time making it clear that some of the speakers were 3'inlre. probably unwittingly. that critici~l11.if insufficiently detached from the subject. has no very firm standpoint. The committee's invitations to speak have met with a ready response. This it takes as evidence that members are not prepared to assume the unobserved nonentity of a vacuum cleaner or an ash-tray, and, in consequence, the ~ociety looks forward to a acti\'e future.

The Concert. On April the ~5th we were entertained to another concert, Miss Kahn. having been engaged for a month or more in producing a play for the Cape Town Repertory Society, seized the opportunity of contributing to School funds and of giving the School a now all too rare entertainment. invited her cast to perform the play in the gym. a few nights before the Cape Town performance. The play-a one-act play-" Crabbed Age am] Youth,"-was exceedingly well acted (both at School and later in Cape Town) and was the chief course in our e\"ening's fare. It was not a school play; nor were any of the persons of the play connected with the School. Therefore, wc are particularly grateful to them for entertaining us as charmingly as they did and for the assistance their evening's effort was to the School, and congratulate Miss Kahn on a very successful venture. As a one-act play is too thin a diet for a full evening's treat, " Crabbed Age and Youth" was preceded by a recital-vaudeville. -even revue pot-poUT7'i. The members of the cast sang, recited and burlesqued to us individually in the first half, and ---to be accustomed to the footlights, to be encouraged by association in the same programme with gooel amateurs, or to exhibit the work done in their classes-a number of Junior scbool boys performed in various styles, Quericlo of 10 and Mr. Larie contributing excellent music.

The Moon, Rises the moon and beauty glows Where she her silver torchlight throws; Silver ships with silver sails upon a silver sea, A silver garment, a silver beauty, rare, enchanting me; A city of silver minarets and towers; A tree with silver leaves and silver boughs; A snow capped peak against a starry sky: Below, a silver stream that ripples by. Now she in her misty veil The sky from the East doth scale. A fairyland the landscape seems, Like fairies rustles the com in her beams. Silently, slowly and softly she sails Like a cloud passing O\'er quiet vales. Slowly fades her radiance, and passes the night. In the East appears a reddish light, And ere the birth of day Slowly, silelltly, softly she fades away. J.

House Notes. Van Riebeek House. Tbe House having. like tbe others, suffered :l considerable loss at the end of 1930, Mr. Mc Gaffin was tbe onlyene of last year's officials left. J. Laas was therefore elected captain, B. Raddyffe vice-captain and G. Orpen hon. secretary, and a committee was fomled inc1uJing, as well as the above, G. Wocley, K. Lumb, R. Meteierkamp, and H. Yudelman. We bad hopes of rising from third to second place in the Illter-House Sports. but these were not fulfilled and unless· tbe House bucks up it is quite possible tbat our lIext move may be in a downward direction. G. Wooley ran very well and was first in the 100 yards and 220 yards under 17 ; and Raddyffe performed WEeI1 in the High Jump, in which he did even better in tbe InterSchool Sports. In the Fête Van Riebeek ranked third and her stalls made £32 towards the intere"t on the field, largely owing to the efiorts of those of tbe staff who became members of the I-rouse for tbe Fête. These were Miss Gall, :Mr: Thorp and Mr. Edwards, Mr. Mc Gaffin being already House Maste r. We wish to congratulate those who have been successful in the Matric., J.C .. and Taalbond examinations, and extend our sympathy to those who were not. We hope that present members will exert their energies so that the House may be able to record a maiority of the passes in this year's exams as it did in 1929. F.N.G.O.
Rhodes House. At a meeting early in the year the committee for the coming year was elected. Marcus was elected House captaiu, J. Home. vice-captain and J. O'Rourke, hall. secretary. Rhodes House did fairly well at the school sports. managing to beat Van Riebeek by two points and thus place themselves second. We lllust congratulate Barryand DLt Toit on their excellent efforts during the school sports and also Marcus and J udd for obtaining the majority of our points between them. 15

On the Parade grolUld Rhodes are presenting themselves at the forefront with Marcus as sergeant and Home and Ringham as corporals. Rhodes as usual came top in shooting but unf0rtunately the drilling pulls them down a bit. Bnt we are now trusting to our sergeants and corporals to rectify this. We must congratulate last year's successful candidates in the Matric and Junior Certificate exmaninations. Phillips, Cohen, and Freedman obtained first-class passes in J.C. exam. These were the only first class passes, and TrainOl' obtained a first class in Matric. Congratulations! At the Fête, Rhodes stall did fairly well making £40 and secming second place to Wellington who made £49. Our effort was due mainly to the unfailing energy of Miss Kahn, Messrs. Bobbins. Lorie and Arguile who co-operated splendidly ill making Rhodes' stall a success. We also must thank Mr. Plane who decorated Rhodes' stall in a most attractive manner. School House must be congratulated on their excellent effort III making over £80 but Rhodes bope to do better next year. J.O'R.
De Waal House. At the beginning of this year De Waal House held several meetings, and Captain, Vice-Captain and Honorary Secretary were elected. These posts were filled by P. du Toit, T. Barry, and D. S. Williams respectively. T. Barry has since left for England. We have a fair share of the prefects in De Waal, as well as a good percentage of the various examination passes, the holders of which we congratulate, and hope that, if they have not already succeeded in their new life, they will. As regards the good as the mutual was found, to the made the most; in
Fête, the competitive spirit did not seem so one, and when the profits were compared it surprise of everyone, that De Waal had not fact we made a good sum.
Oar honse master Mr. Wabl, and Miss Clarke, Mr. Marais and Mr. Volschenk, his able helpers, must all be thanked here for their much appreciated help at the time of the Fête. 16

Cricket. REVIEW
OF THE SEASON.
The season just closed was quite a successful one for the senior side, and if they did do badly in the Schools' Championship games, they proved themselves a very bard side to beat in the 2nd Division and gave W.P., the winners, a splendid run. Jndeed the result of the cl13.mpionship was in doubt right up to the last match. As in the precedi;lg year the side made a bad start, losing on the first inuings to Somerset. In the first game of the Schools' Championship against S.A.C.S. we were up against it all the time until the rain stopped play and the game was abandoned. A poor show was put up .vhen Bishops were met and bad fiel贸ing and catching helped Bishops on to a big total. With reference to the R. B.H.S. match the less said the better. Poor play was seen on both sides. A refreshing feature was the 'defeat of Technical College at Plumstead after being behind on the first innings, and this was followed by the defeat of Green Point at Wynberg by 10 wickets. The school did very well, splendid fielding and bowling being responsible for a victory that definitely put the side in the running for the Championship. After the vacation the side had a most pleasa~t and exciting game with W.P., who just failed to beat the scbool after having had all the luck of the game. Then came the remarkable match with R. B.H.S., and a further thrilling finish to the season's gal1l'es was provided when Lansdowne were met and defeated. With regard to the batting it cannot be said that it was the strong point of the side. We tbink that bolder methods would have paid some of the members better; half-hearted strokes arc not what is wanted either. Pickup and Mc Cormick were the outstanding batsmen. It may be said, though, that Pickup should have always been sent in second wicket. He is in the main a defensi \'e pla~'er but nevertheless proved himself the great rungetter of the side. Some prolific innings from his bat were witnessed during the course of the season. Perhaps be was fortunate in being put in comparatively late through<lUt, but credit is nevertheless due to him. A most reliable man, one 19

always felt confident that lIe would put together a respectable total however badly thiIlgs ,,,ere going; on occasions he did enough to make us sure that he, as well as Wilkinson, ought to go far in the world of cricket. 'With reference to \Vilkinson, lle is one- of those batsrnen wbo ollght to go far ijl bigger cricket; he is of that type which we occasionally llleet, that sort who would rather go out than play a bad stroke. Who will forget his knock against Rondebosch and what more enjoyahle, that 30 lIot out agaiust S.A.C.S., glimpses of his true form that we too seldom saw?

Mc Cormick, PickufJ and Human did almost all that was required of them in the bowling line. Of McCormick it canllot be said tuat any decline of skill was noticed, but he was very unlucky with regard to slip catches; slip fielding was one of the weak points in the side. Human as yet possesses nu initiative. His leg break is all he has or attempts; and in four avers a babmau of class kno\vs wbat is coming, as Lamont demonstrated to the detriment of the school. The fieldillg was. all the whole, quite good, but a pronounced \\'eakness was at slip. The catching we are sorry to say was not what it might have been. some very simple catches being dropped in tbe course or the season. The wicket keeping of the side was fai r. Louw captained the side well, though he was too prone to experiment with tbe batting order and to keep bis bowlers on toa 101lg. He has, however, the gift of leadership on the cricket field. It now remains
for \\.5 to congratulate Mc Cormick and Pick up on gaining a place in the schoob' side against the M.C.C.

The possibility of a win for the School seemed very remote when Watson joined Pickup who had been playing very stolidly.

The start of the game coincided with the departure of Gelfand, who succumbed to the first ball sent down by De Smidt.

same one felt that his figures perhaps flatter him. The W.P. innings. proceeded without much note, four wickets being down with only 61 runs on the board With the score at 75 Lamont gave a not too difficult chance to Berelowitz at square leg which this fielder did not accept. This chance affected the whole course of the game for had it been taken there is no doubt that W.P. would not have. reached thei r opponents' score. Lamont proceeded to defend stubbornly until stumps were drawn with the score at 152-5. Next day Wynberg were without Human, who had taken ill. But Mr. Matt~ew kindly fielded as a most able sHbstitute. Lamont and Parker the two not outs went on their way slowly until Lamont was well held by a substitute at third slip-a beautiful catch. Half-an-hour later the side was out with a lead of 7I rtWS on the first innings. Wynberg began their second innings disastrously. losing half the wickets for 47, and the sixth at 60. However, Askew helped Pick up, who had been playing very stylish though careful cricket, to add 30 before Askew was bowled by De Smidt. It was now a race against time when Smith joined Pick\lp with about one and three-quarter hours to play; but these two beId the fort and added 27 valuable runs. Watson who was last man helped in a fine partnership of 34 for the ninth wicket. This partnership undoubtedly saved the match for the 'choo]. Watson played a very mce innings, two fou rs of his being excellent shots past point. The hero of tlte bour, however, was Pick up ; he played a real veteran's innings-an innings of inestimable value to tbe si-de. His stubbornness in the early part of his knock turned out to be justified by the turn of events, and he took no chances and gave none, carefully selecting tbe ball from which to score. This innings ,v.as one of the best he has ever played; it was truly a magni ficent effort.

about 15 minuter left, the game was full of excitement and interest. The Province players were now hitting at everything and the last over was entered upon with W.P. needing 10 runs. Could they get them? Mc Connick's bowling was too good for them and they were 5 short of victory when the over had been completed. Mc Connick kept a good length and helped mainly in retarding the \V.P. players efforts to score fast. A most exciting 44 minutes for everyone were these, and will not be forgotten in a hurry.

Played at Wynberg 14th to 21st February,
1931.
Mr. Wahl and Mr. Mathew kindly stood down for this match, while Ge1fand and Watson were not available, Shaw, Tindale, Askew and Train.or filling the places thus created. Louwon winning the toss sent R.B.H.S. in to bat, and they did so with a vengeance, hitting up their highest score of the season. For this they were mainly indebted to their captain Awerbauch whose innings, if not faultless, was a capital one. The R.B.H.S. innings extended over 3% hours. Wynberg, apparently tired from their long outing in the field and the heat of the day, failed miserably, the side being out in less than 90 minutes. After 5 wickets had fallen for 17 runs Berelowitz and Wilkinson added 34 runs in partnership of which Rerelowitz claimed 31 ; hitting 2 great sixes and 3 fours. The following weeks play saw the Rondebosch skipper enforcing the follow-on. Wynberg again began badly, losing 4 wickets for 22 runs. No excuses could be made this time. Smith was bowled in the first over from Apsey and with the score at 4 Shaw made a very foolish 25

stroke to a ball he should have left alone and was caught at the wicket. McCormick succumbed to a really good ball from Apsey and Askew was out to an equally smart catch at pojnt, also off Apsey. Pickl1p and Louw retrieved t.he bad start splendidly, adding a very valuable 45 runs of which number Louw made 36, playing a re~l captain's knock at a critical peri,od in great style. WynbE'Tg ~ere still 43 runs behind with 5 wickets to fall; so extreme caution was still necessary when Wilkinson joined Pickup and these two adopted a wearing down process. Both playing steadily and comfortably, the score had been advanced to 107 without loss After tbe interval the defensive play continued to good effect. The Rondebosch captain was absolutely at his wits' end to break a partnership during which most excellent and courageous cricket was seen and at the same time giving Wynberg hopes of a fighting clla11ce, while visions of victory for Hondebosch feemed to be slowly fading away. The bowling was really collared now and Pick up and \Vilkinson were well to the fore with very hard drives and pulls. A separation was eventnally effected at 193. 'Che pair had added l2G in about two bours, and Pickup was shortly afterwards dismissed for an excellent innings which included 1 six and 6 fours. Wilkinson hit 5 fours in one of the most stylish knoc!<s seen during the season. Louw declared at 224, leaving Rondebosch 115 to get in 70 minutes. Heartened no d贸ubt by the knowledge that outright defeat for their side was now rather improbable and a chance of victory possible, Mc Cormick and HUIlIan bowled with so much zest and skill that Rondehosch were bundle'l out, one might almost say fired out, for the ignominious total of 26, and so a remarkable and memorable match ended in a great victory for Wynberg by 85 runs. The School showed what they were really capable of and the fielding during R.B.H.S. 2nd innings showed very great keenness. Scores :-R.B.H.S. 1st innings 177. (Mc Cormick 3 for 27, Human 3 for 24.)

Thereafter, Shaw, who had been steadiness personified, became reckless and lost his wicket. He had played a plucky innings for one so inexperienced. The rest of the batsmen did little of note and the innings closed for the satisfactory total of 158. Tbe Lansdowne start was, to say the le::tst. inauspicious, the first wicket falling in tbe first over, Wilkinson taking a catch at slip. Tbe second fell at 23. However there ensued a partnership of 26 before the Srd wicket went down. At this juncture an appeal against the light was upheld and play suspended for the day. The resumption the following week saw a remarkable collapse on the part of the Lansdowne batsmen. 7 wickets going. down for 38 runs. For this development Human was mainly responsible, keeping a good length and turning appreciably from leg. With a lead of 61 Wynberg commenced their second innings by losing Shaw in the first over. Gelfand who followed wa~ never comfortable. Mr. Wahl in lashing out was caught, while Mr. Mathew was caught in two minds and stumped. Lansdowne were eventually set 123 to win and plenty of time in which to get them. They made another bad start but recovered somewhat and with the score at 73-7 it was anybody's game. With the fieldsmen on their toes and bowlers straining every nerve, the Sth wicket partnership yielded a very valuable 2路!. The 9th wicket added 21. With the last man in Lansdowne needed 5 to wiu. The batsmen snicked the ball into Human's hands at short slip, but to the dismay of all he dropped it. Happily however for Wynberg he made the same mistake two balls later. Hum茅Ul did not, alld Wynberg had won by 4 runs. PickllP bowled superbly, while Human kept the other er.cl going spleudidly.

Played at St. Michael's 28th and 30th Oeto1)er, 1930. S.A.C.S. on winning the toss batted first on a poor wicket, and lost 2 wickets for 32, before Bernstein and Gel! shared in a partnership Qf89 runs which set S.A.C.S. on the way to a big score. At drawing of stumps S.A.C.S. had made 226-8. (Ge1l97 not out) The next day's play saw S.A.C.S. all out for the addition of 4 runs. GeIl completed his century. He hit 13 fours but was let off at 11,20 and 73. Pickup bowled steadily, and perhaps if better support had been accorded him the S.A.C.S. total may have been smaller. With rain imminent Wynberg began tbeir innings, but they fared badly, 8 wickets going down for 36 ere Wilkinson and Berelowitz indulged iu a bright stand of 30, of which number Berelowitz claimed 24. It was raining when Askew joined Wilkinson but the two added 20 runs in the worst conditions imaginable by' great cricket. Three appeals were made to the umpires but were of no avail. Upon the fourtb being made in pelting rain the game was stopped for about ten minutes. When the game was resumed the batsmen had difficulty in discerning the edge of the mat, the causes being darkness and the mud which in that district seemed of great quantity and quality. Eventually after two further appeals had been made the game, which bad developed into a farce, ended. Scores :-S

Old Boys' Union. The annual general meeting was held on June School Hall. There was an attendance of about 35.
2nd in the
The reports recorded a vigorous year of life in the history of the Union-its first year. The Secretary aunounced that 181 members had been enrolled since the inaugural meeting last year. The committee had to tbeir credit the successful organisation of the Old Boys' Football Match and a Dinner to the teams and a Smoking Concert after the match. a Cricket Match against the School team and a Tennis Match against the staff, followed by a social, and a Shooting Match against the School. Since the Old Boys' Union were satisfied that the teams selected had been good ones, including one Springbok-a hardy annual-and several aspirants, they have great respect for the abilities of the present teams; for the Present won the Football Match 14-3, and lost the Cricket Match by 101 runs. Durillg the year the committee presented a Best Speaker's Prize to the Debating Society. They also undertook to raise funds for the returfing of the School field, a sum of ÂŁ18/5/6 having been collected to date. The programme announced for the coming year includes the organising of a Dance withill a month or two, a Di11l1er and the normal engagements at sport. A heated discussion arose from the proposal to modify the blazer-by incorporating the letters O.W. in the badge, or departillg from the presellt design. It was decided that the present style be retained. A gracious resolution to send greetings from the Union and a copy of each issue of the Magazine to Mr. E. T. Littiewood and Mr. G. F. H. Clark resulted in the unanimous election of these two gentlemen to Hor.orar)' Life Membership. The office-bearers elected for 1931-3 wert:, Hon. President, W A. Clegg; President, J. L. d~ Kock; Vice-President, C. Scott; Hon. Sec., D. Granger; Hon. Treasurer, I{. Felbert ; Committee, Messrs. N. Ackerman, V. Calmichael, J. Kahn, C. Key, J. Mc Donald, C.

Report.
JUNE 1931.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, As a continuation of the Minutes of the General meeting I have just read, I will now give a brief resUlue of the Committee meetings and functions of the past financial year. Mr. Lamont, who was elected to the committee, declined, however, to accept office, as he was on too many committees at the time, and be felt he would not be able to devote sufficient attention to affairs of the Union. In his place Mr. Withinshaw was elected by the committee, Mr. Felbert was elected to the position of secretary, in the place of Mr. N. Stewart (resigned), Mr. Key was elected to the vacant position on the committee. At the meeting held on 18th June, the constitution of the Union was completed, and tlle question of membership books and cards was left over to the following meeting. which took place on the 30th June. There the constitution was finally revi:::ed, and a sub-com路路 mittee comprising Messrs. de Kock. Mc Donald and l'elbert was appointed to attend to the printing of the Constitution and the membership cards. Another sub-committee was appointed to deal with the dance, and it was decided to appoint local secretaries in the larger cen tres. Messrs. Wilkim , MOl~crieff, anel \Vilioughby were appointed during the next month to Johanne"bnrg, Rhodesia and Durban respectively. These gentlemen succeeded in enrolling a..... fair number of members during the course of the year. A further meeting was beId on August 8th. and the teams for the Past vs. Present Rugby match were chosen. The match took place on August 28th. the School winning by 14 points to 3. After the match, the teams and the committee were given a dinner, kindly provided by Mrs Clegg. In the evening a "smoker ,. was held in the hall, and the committee extends its thanks to the artists who kindly consented to perform. A debate took place on the 12th October against the School, Messrs. Key, Cook and Granger representing the Olel Boys, the " That all men ahonld receive the same wages," being lost. In a ci rcular issueel in October, Old Boys were nrged to snpport those functions which ~'ere staged by the school i'n aid of the 35

Sports fund. Mr. Mc Donald advised a red uction in the price of the cloth of the Old Boys' Blazer, which now stands at 17/6 per yard. A period of grace was allowed to non-members in which to buy colours. Owing to the fact that Mr. Felbert contemplated going overseas, he resigned the secretaryship. and Mr. Granger was appointed in his stead. It was decided to confer an honorary life-membership on Mr. J. Robertson, an ex-master of the School. On January 5th another meeting took place, and there it was decided to place the contract for O. B. sweaters in the hands of Mr. D. Roberts, of Kenilworth, at a price of 15/- each, and it is hoped that all O.B's will avail themselves of this opportunity. At this date it was decided that the period of grace allowed to non-mem bers above referred to should be closed, and only members of the Union should thereafter be entitled to buy colour~. The Dance was held on tbe 3rd September, and was !Jot too well attended, as the weather was extremely bad, a .financial loss was incurred, and the Treasurer will comment on that aspect later. A further meeting was held on the 9th February, and it was decided that Watson should remain in office to the end of the financial year, du Toit having now joined the committee as Captain of the School. The programme and catering of the forthcoming Social were discussed, and it was decided that the Secretary should invite members of other Uni贸ns to be pre~ent. Mr. Me Donald aunounced a reduction in the price of O.B. Badges, which now stand at 12/6. Mr. Felbert then proposed that a fund be opened to replant the Upper field, and that the Union donate 拢5/5/0 towards it. He will later advise you of the amotmt collected. Mr. Felbert was officially appointed Treasurer in place of Mr. du Plessis, who resigned owing to pressure of business. On the 28th of April a further Committee meeting was helel, and the principal subject ttllder discussion was, of course, the General Meeting. The Agenda was drawn np, and as this is before you, there is no need to mention this. But it \yas also decided, if possible, to hold an Old Crocks' match against the Staff before the Old Boys' Match proper. Before finishing I should like to mention the Shooting Match against the School, which was fired on November 1st. Tbe following represented the past, wbo won by Ipoint: Bates, Coates, Wilding Scott, Douglas, H arumann, Heyes and Granger. 36

The a'verage attendance at Committee meetings was 66%. The Old Boys Union, by the way, donated a Book prize to the Best Speaker's debate, and it is hoped to do the same this year. The Old Boys' Debate will take place on Friday, August 21st. All Old Boys wishing to take part are requested to hand in their names to the Secretary. D. R. GRANGER.
Treasurer's Report. June 2nd, 1931. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen. It is not only with a clear conscience that
I am making my report to you this evenillg. but also with the pleasurable anticipation that you will agree. with me that the funds of the Union have been administered both carefully and yet unstintingly during the past financial year. It is true that at several committee meetings we have discussed the prospects of a holiday for the committee as soon as the funds assumed reasonably large proportions. but the fact that although we have had funds amounting to £49/11/0 at our disposal, we bave not taken the holiday, must serve as our bona fide, and it is in view of this that I trust that at the conclusion of my report none of you will find it necessary to ask" Quis custodes cllstod iet" ? I have classified the expenditure for the year under different headings, and intend commenting briefly on each of these. Our PRI TING EXPENSES total £5/14/0. This includes the initial cost of the Constitution and Membeïship Cards, our envelopes and writing paper, all the circulars sent to members, the tickets and programmes for the dance, the menu for the dinner that Mrs. Clegg so kindly gave the Rugby teams, and the postcards advising members of this meeting. As one of our chief functions is to keep members in touch with onr activities. I think you will agree with me that the above expenditure is by no means exorbitant. POST AGE has cost us £2/16/6. I do not think there is any necessity for me to discuss this figure, but I may mention that the Honorary Secretary has kept a Stamp Book in which he llas entered in detail all his expenditure in this connection. 37

MAGAZ1NE.
Our third item is BOOKS A~D STATlONERY. Expellses on this account are £1/6/0; this amOW1t being attributable to Receipt Books, Books of Account, Envelopes etc. 1 may add that some time ago we decided to abolish the system of sending out receipts, as thp. Membership Card in itself is a receipt, and therefore any expenditure on Receipt Books, ami also the cost of posting receipts was unnecessary. The amount of £8/1'2;0 was spent on the SCHOOL MAGAZL E; each member being supplied with a copy in last June and November. The fact that the above amount is divided in the ratio of £1/0/0 to the Jlme issue and £7/12,0 to that of December, bears testimony to the rapid growth of the Union. PHONE CALLS have cost us 16/6, and our BANK EXPENSES have been 13/7. Originally an account was opened with the Savings Bank Branch of tbe Standard Bank, Rondebosch, but later we transferred our accowlt to Barclay's Bank, D.C. & 0., Wynberg; where we opened a Cnrrent Account. This has proved more convenient in a variety of \Yays. \Ve now come to the only blot on our financial escutcheon, namely the loss of £7/G/3 on the DANCE. To explniu this I must mention that save for an informal smoking concert the dance was our first attempt at holding some social eveIlt where we should be sure to entertain a truly representative crO\"Hl of Old Boys. As such it was invaluable in enabling us to enrol new members; but naturally the money obtained by subscriptiolls was debited to a general account, and not to the dance account. As you have heard from the Secretary's Report, on the e\'ening of the dance it poured with rain, and many Old Boys and friends of theirs who had been sent tickets and intended coming to the dance did not turn out owing to the inclemency of tne weather; and afterwards the Committee decided that it would be wiser not to hold these gentlemen responsible for their tickets. Expenses in connection with a dance must, however economically it is managed, be fairly slIbstantial, and although our catering, again thanks to Mrs. Clegg, cost liS little more than a thirn of what any proIes~ional caterer have cbarged, it was a fairly heavy item. Total expenses in would connection with the dance were £18/3/0, wbile 10/16/9 was realised by the sale of tickets. 1 can safely say that, had the weather been fine, we should have received between £4 or £5 more for tickets, and this wOllld have left us with only a minor loss. Taking into consideration our present increased membership and the fact that at any future dance the committee in office at the time will benefit 38

by the information available about the last dance, I do not think you need fear the recurrence of such a loss. At a Committee Meeting held early this year, the opinion was expressed that the Union should have some official add ress. alld it was accordingly decided to rent a POST OFFICE BOX in Wynberg, which oas since been done. Incidentally, as subscriptions are no,,' clue. I would ask all you gentlemen to make a note of the fact that they may be sent to The Treasurer, P.O. Box 56, Wynberg. You will also be given the opportunity to pay them later in the evening. Needless to say, T hope that as many of you as possible will take advantage of it. as it will simplify matters for all parties. and most people 'are apt to forget to send in cheques or postal orders. During the Armistice. Day Ceremony on November 11th last at the School. the Secretary laid a WREATH at the Memorial Gateway on behalf of the Union as a tribute to those Old Boys who fell in the War. This involved an expenditure of IS/-. Expenses in connection with the last Social given at School amount to ÂŁ4(0/6. This includes the services of a couple of professional entertainers. and the cost of refreshments, and in view of the excellent attendance is not a very high figure. In connection with the CONTRACT mentioned by the Secretary, Mr. Roberts agreed to pay us a 5% commission Oil sales, and the amount received from bim has been debited to the general account. ADVERTISING the General Meeting in the Cape Times cost 15/-, and I am sure you will agree with me that this was a very necessary item. The next phase of my rep0rt, while also dealing with expenditure, is of a totally different order. The committee felt from the outset that one of the main objects of the Union should be to assist the School in all possible directions. This was first carried out in a small wav-a Book Pri7e \TaSoffered by the Union to the School Debating Society, to be given to the Best ~peaker of the year. This was presented towards the end of last year. Since then, however. an excellent opportunity has occured in which to assist the School in a big~er way. The top field bas for a long time been in a lamentable state-in fact, at the pre~ent time it is a disputable point whether the nomenclature of ' field' might tmthfully be applied to it. The ground has been in constant use, but the School has not the necessary funds at its disposal to have it repaired. The Committee decided to contribute ÂŁEi/5/0 from the funds of the Union. ancl to start a Field Fund, to which members should be invited to donate 'whatever amount they cared to. To

date we are in receipt of £ 18/ 15/6, but this represents donations from less than half our local members, and I would urge those of you who have not yet had an opportunity to make a donation to the Field Fund to clo so this evening. In conclusion, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I wish to state that we are carrying forward a balance of £9/12/8 to the coming year; also that the June issue of the School Magazine which will be forwarded to all members within the next ten days a statement will be published of our expenditure for the past year; anel :finally to thank yOll for your tolerance this evenillg.-R.

OLD BOYS' MATCH. The Annual Cricket and Tennis matches vs. the School were helcl on tbe 18th February. An enjoyable afternoon resulted ill the Old Boys winning the Cricket match by a substantial margin and losing the Tennis by a small one. On the eveniilg of the same day a Social was held in tbe School Hall where over a hundred people were entertained. The President gave a short address commenting briefly on the progress of the Union, and welcoming representatives of other Old Boys' Unions who were present. An enjoyable programme was represented; for which we are indebted to Messrs. Lorie, Allen, de Fontein and Wolheim and Brown. The Catering was very ably accomplished Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Granger and Mrs. de Koó:, to whom we are extremely grateful. STATEMENT
