Editorial. The first half-year of 1933 has sped quite pleasantly. At the beginning of the first term we had to reconcile ourselves to changes, but schools are always doing that and finding the new fast becoming a tradition. The members of the staff who then joiued us are no longer looked upon as strangers and may feel surprised at the welcome we extend to them on this the first 1

opportunity \ve have had. Mr. Greig, !3enior to the others, conducts the Gymnasium classes very pleasantlv ancl skilfully. Miss Mc Neil on exchange from England, is with lIS in place of Miss Kalll1, and Miss Gobbett. who joined us on the superannuation of Mr. Bosman, is in charge of Standard I, re orgallisationllaving ft'sulted in the loss to us of one teacher-one in place of Mrs. Hofmeyr. Next term ancl until t:1e end of the year we shall be without Mr. Clegg, who is spending the long leave dne to him in visiting England and New Zealand, which country lIe will proceed to from England via the United States. We wish bim a pleasant voyage and an enjoyable holidey. In Januar~' also, reorganisation, with removal of classes, advanced further the establishment of a !'eparate Junior School, which is fast becol1ling a distinct institution, witb Mr. Lorie in charge of the senior class and of tbe organisation. Following on the very successful Exhibition of last September. two new activitie~ are proposed-the teaching of Eurhythmics and the founding of a percussion band. Mr Larie, who ordered the band instrument~ last year-four drull1S. six tambourines, five triangles and four cymbals-has beeJl very fortunate in the accession to the staff of Miss McNeil, who has undertaken to train tbe band. We can, therefore, promise her a rousing send路off at the end of the year. Our life has been interesting and fairly varied. With the coming-on of winter the Debating Society has resumed its activities, a fresh generation of orators, more promisillg we thiJlk than for some years, having caught the Speaker's eye. The Foothall season bids fair to a very sl1ccessful one, the schonl having entered two teams in each of the three divisions the Under 17a ide being a very good one. The Athletics meeting was an excellent one and tIJe performances were very goon, while our record at the Inter-Schools competition was a cH:ditable one. The Tuck-shop has been removed from its time-honoured site to one faci!1~ the side of the old cricket shed-and 7b cla~s-r()om of now f(Jrgotten days, Among memories of the past also, if we lTlay regard 1932 and this year as the beg!llning of a Ilewera, we may number the olc! full-day l':锚tl' and the full-term rehearsal of it. This year we followed the precedent of last year in holding instead a Friday moming Prouuce Sale, with tbe attraction of Tea in the Hall and a Junior School concert for the entertainment of our vi,itors.

agaillst the Staff. That the Staff were denied the pleasure of attending the cricket match was an unfortunate consequence of the arrangement; for in the unsuitability of our ground for any cricket matches at all the game was played at Plumstead. Among out.ings we have bad a visit to the Wingfield Aerodrome by a party of thirty when the Gaysford-Nicolette路s recordhreakiug aeroplane was acce:::sible to sc1~ools, attendance by the Matric class at the f{ondebosch performauce of Macbeth and the visit of the Cape Town Orchestra-an innings rather than an o\lting; for the hall that they discour~ed to us in was the Gyrnna路 :::ium. the scene of our own end-of-term community-singing as excellellt a performance in many ways. Our Examination results at the end of 1932, like all examination results, occasioned both pleasure and regret: and when the.

to the Hall,

In presenting" Dance Music through the Ages." Mr. Piekerill, bdore each piece wisely, alJd wittingly, indicated the lIature of of the composition, picturing the imagery that should accompany the music. The instruction in national costul1les, manners and temperaments that he gave certainly aided the older listeners ilJ their interpretation and enjoyment; for dance music without a background has little meallilJg beyond that of obvious rhythm. To the younger listeners it was perhaps as interesting as the performances. As a welcome interlude the concert was, like the two earli~r ones. a success. alld we should like to convey the thanks of the school to the Orchestra and to Mr Lorie, whose enthusiasm and taste in selecting a programme Mr Piekerill once again commented on. After, and in virtUTe of, the dissertation on each. the pieces became descriptive, or pictorial, the most charming being the light and gay English Folk Dance and the Gavotte. The Acrobafs 3

Dance was slightly disappointing after the suggestiveness of its name. the Russian Dance conveying a more strollgly marked athletic anel muscular impression. The programme was varied and well-balanced. and all tbe pieces were excellent, lVlonn Magic alone being difficult to interpret; b1lt the Blue Danube, whiL'h followed it and closed the performance, \vas irresist.ible in its breadth of melody and strong rhythm. The burden of Mr Pickerill's concluding remarks was that in the City Council's making tbe Orchestra accessible to schools there is a recognition that in a mechanised age, an "age of speed," tlle growing generation needs to develop some not material interest in life, which will be a source of pleasure in adversity alld in prosperity, in yonth and age, when" football days are over." An odd half-hour a day devoteel to M1Isic and Literature will create a spiritual treasure for 11~, which the more we use, the mOTe we shall have. However that may be, we welcomed the visit of the Orchestra and look forward to its return. . G.B. The Programme:" Dj\NCE .l.

Debating Society Notes. On the 24th April the house considered the question whether "We should depart from the tyranny of convention." The speakers, R. Upton, D. Taylor and R. Linnell for the motion, and D. Carpenter, G. Dowthwaite, and V. Granger in oppositioll, gave evidence of carefully prepared speeches Their criticisms ranged from infants' feeding bottles to our philosophical heritage. Considering that it was the debut o[ many of t.he speakers, tile level of the debate was very encouraging. Specially to be mentioned is R. LinnelI's fine speech His conscions anticipation and conscious selection gave one the impression that his higher ,brรกin centres fUllction without effort. The response from the floor was a coalition for the motion, which was duly carried. . On the 12th May the Society met again to' argue that "Examinations should be aboli!>hed." J. Home wa.s in the chair, the speakers being J. l3osman, H. Yudelman, J. Scrimgeour, J. Braude. F. Tindale and M. Anderson. On this occasion Brande carried the honours. His good vocabulary. together with an unflustered attitude, brought into relief his aptitude for public speaking. Speeches from the floor invariably $ho\J\.'ed dissatisfaction with onr present examination system and contempt for a world so antipathetic to the desire of every schoolboy.

The Also Ran. Pat Slawe had always been, as his surname implied. rather slow. Each report he had received had the time-holloured legend " Careful concentration needed" clearly written at the enJ of the General Remarks. He liked most of the subjects but be could not concentrate and gain a high positio!!. He did not play football and had proved a failure when he had tried to get into the 2nd Eleven as eleventh man. Pat was in Standard l\Iine (where they are all gluttons for work) and \",as 17 years of age. Pat had a weakness for cnlzes, but as in his other work and play he was by no means an adept. Right from tbe lower ciasses he had indulged in games such as llIarbles, tops, .. kennetjie," flying kites and others, but. always with the same amount of indiA路erence. having numerous tops smashed to atoms, kites torn to shreds by unfriendly trees and wiuds, and all his .. glassies," .. alleys .' and .. commies" WUll from him. These attel'npts and f.iilttres took place in the lower classes of course, say 1 to 6, because, a~ e\"erybody at Wyn berg knows, seniors den't play these silly, childish games! Well. from Standard Seven onwards (as the members of that dass will know) boys begin to grow sensible. Tb~ first stage naturally is the wearing of" longs." Each one can then fend for himself and takes an interest in all the current happenings. Needless to say, Pat was the last of the class to purchase" longs." Just at this time rnl1er路skating came into vegue. Every boy immediately took up the craze and skated. By felony of his eldest bro:her's skates, with pillows and cushions strapped Oll him, Pat, after two months harr! practice up and down the back yard, was able to skate sufficielltly well not to fall more th'll1 twice a minute. One night be toek hi,> brother's skates al1(l proceeded rinkwards. Imagine his shock when be found the rink had b~en dosed down for a week! Soon after ,. Rbymes .. came into popularity.

Yo-Yo's place bas been filled in rapid sllccession by a lluruuer of songs which Pat fonnd less easy than the previous ones. At length, being tired of his life of continual ridicule uy llis !:choolfello~\'s and masters, Pat came to his parents one evening and said, " Dad, I'm tired of this druugery of life. Can't you fix me up at some other place? Send me to England or -- -." "All right," said Mr. Slowe, "if DIA 65619 draws a horse in the Derby." Pat made his dad sign an agr<:'<:'lllent in bis 1926 notebook, the pages of which had the previous day's writing erased each day. "It can only mean one thillg," s2-id Mrs. Slowe, "the poor ha\' needs a change. It's that horrible Algebra and Latin that's upsetting him." Strangely enough DjA earned Mr. Slowe 拢5.000.

Accordingly, Pat (who had iailed the Matriculation exams. with honours) sailed to the Fiji Islands. He was Ilappy: for now couldn'the show tbe Island what an expert be was at crazy games? About a month later, Pat arri\'ed at the Islands. He hael practised all the songs aud games on board ship and felt cOllfident of success. He soon became acquainted with tbe islanders and oifered to teach Sezll, a liable savage, tbe game of m:Hbles. However, it was a case of the" biter bit; .. for Sezu soon showed Pat that it was HE WilO needed tbe teaching. Next Pat held an interested audience of Fijians spellbolHld when he delivered a speech on Vo- Yo. Sezu acted as spokesman and told Pat that after many debates six months ago, a Yo-Yo had been granted a po>,ition in a glass case in the fiji museum. Oyeah then gave a delllollstration of looping tbe loop, Immelmann tUrtlS, etc., and Pat felt more ridiculous than he had at Wynberg. Oyeah, Sezll alld company were not surprised to find Pat missing a few days later - - -. Pat had always admired missionaries and professors, who had done much fur the civilization of the savages. and oecided to travel to New Zealand to teach the MaOl路is. He soon met Isingtoo and found that Ile was interested In music. Isingtoo invited him to a concert under the trees in the moonlight and don't a!-k why he swooned when the choir and band struck up. "Today r feel so Happy." Well, that definitely ended Pats' sojourn inNew Zealalld. Pat, finding New Zealand too civilized for him, made an extensive tour of Russia, visiting Vladevostok.

Suffice it to say that Pat Slowe returned to Wynberg (not to school of course), a sadder but wiser craze-fan. His many experiences serving to show him tbe futility of cra7es, he wellt to a technical college and studied concrete subjects such as Algehra.

The Story of my Life. I am twel\le years of age and I have

deal.

I was born at Wynberg

travelled about a gre~t on the 20th of November, 1920.

On the 8th of November, 1922, I sailed for England on the " Dunluce Castle," and I also spent my second birthday all board that boat. I stayed ill England for a few months. April, 1 sailed to Port Said on the" Delta." I took the train to Suez.

Then on the 13th of Then from Port Said I

I spent three years at Suez, and it 09Iy_rained five times, but there was never ally !:'hortage of water. 1t was路 very hot, and because of its great heat it \Vas il very dirt~路 place. '. There' "\'ere very few Europeans; and Bedouins.

Arabs,

Egyptians,

On the 1st of May, 1926. I left Suez to go to Engla)1<) again, via Naples in Italy, TOlllon on the South Coast of France, and Gibraltar. On the way to Naples J passed through the Straits of Messina. When we reached Naples I saw Vesuvius smoking. Then we went hetween Corsica and Elba on to TouIon. "The French Mediterranean Naval Base." Then we went to Gibraltar, our last stop on the way to England. We were supposed to disembark at Tilhury Docks, bIlt there was the Gelleral Strike on at the time, so we had to land at Plymouth The next place where I went was Gibraltar. It had a very big dock-yard and harbour. Every year the Mediterr~nean fleet and the Atlantic fleet came into the harbour at the same time. That meant that there were alle hundred of the n:;tval craft in the harbour. Gibraltar "'as also a great Military place, and t)lere was a little cove where the soldiers used to bathe, and there was a vely hig shed with cable tanks. and by the side of that was a bathing hut which we used. I also learnt how to swim there. My fatber had a little dingby, about eight feet long. in wbich I often went fishing. While my father was in Gibraltar, I came to tbe Cape. 10

Peaceful valley, all unknown To him who wanders not from home, Lying there beneath our eyes, A veritable Paradise.

Then many days of peace, and lo! Yótfr glens are clothed in sparkling snow. Winter·s whisper in the breeze, Dead leaves moving in the trees.

An Airplane Ride. Many people have tried to persuade me to take the plunge. Many have besought, begged, implored, and even asked me to turn airminded. One friend's argument ran thus: ,. Do you know that thousands more people die in tbeir beds, every day, than die in traius, cars, airplaIles, and the like YOll enter your bed every night-at least we hope so-and you won't take a comparatively safe airplane ride."

Cricket. Review of the Season. The teams on the whole did not fulfil our expectations; for during tile second half of last season the 1st team did not win a match, which was mainly cue to their lack of fielding practice. The Under 16a, however, ended a fairly successful season and show that there is some very good material for the future. In particular Bridgens sbowed good form. In the fixture against Observatory Tindale with 108 scored the ouly celltury of the season. With the commencement of the new season Tindale took the place of Wilkinson as Captain with Sims as vice. The committee consisted of Tindale, Sims Parker and Fine. The 1st team has improved a great deal, especially in bowling, but still the fielding has remained very weak. In bowling, Scrimgeour, Parker and Sims showed good promise, while Tindale batted well.

The School Sports. The Annual School Sports were held at the Newlancls Rugby Ground on 8th March. 1933. The first event was timed for 1.30 p.m. but half an hour earlier, schoolboys had already arrived and were clamouring for seats on the stands. The evellts, thanks to the officials. went off without a hitch. All the events were finely contested and a fine sporting spirit prevailed. It was evident from the shouting, that the house system W:lS again a good incentive to the competitors. who strove to do their utmost for their houses. De Waal ran out winners this year, followed by Wellington and Rhodes. Wellington gained second place by one point from Rhodes. Last year's winners, Van Riebeek, had to be content with the wooden spoon this year. 21

It appeared from the reports that the dance, though a Success socially, had resulted in a loss to the UIIion, that there had been a drop of thirty on the membership. and that the Union had a Sllll1 of ÂŁ3 to its credit at the end of the financial year.

A sugKestion was made that the Annual Dance should be held in Wynberg. The Secretary pointed out that a fair proportion of members live at False Bayallel ill Cape To\\'n, and that tbe principle had been arrived at of holding tbe dance at St Jame~, as in 1931. in Cape Town, as in 1932. and in Wynberg.

The first Committee Meeting after the Annual General Meeting was held on July 12th, to discuss the Annual Dance and Dinner. After a general discussion the date was fixed at September 10th for the Dance, while it was decided to hold the Dinner at the end of the year, in order to combine it'with a presentation to Mr. Bosman, who was retiring from the School Staff. Tbe venue for the dance was left in tbe hands of a sub committee, after several suggestions had been received, i e. tbe Hotel Bordeaux, tbe St.. James and tbe City Mansions. The Committee also fixed the date of the Rugby Match against the School as Sept. 7th, which ,yas later amended to August the 31st. Finallv, Mr. Pienaar undertook to ask Mr. McDonald whether he wouid cOlJsent to a fmther reduction of the colours of the Union. The Rugby Match was played en AuglIst the 31st, the School winning by 21 points to 5, after we had led by 5 to 0 at half time. The Past must go into training this year. 24

The description of tbe play and the names of the team' will be found in the December issue of the Magazine. The Dance was beId at the City Mamions Hotel at Cape Town, and was certainly a social success, although tbe Union made noi.hing ont of it. There were about seventy couples presellt. At tbe begiuping of November the Shooting Match took place, and resulted in a draw of 1,017 points apiece. The Union was represented by Coates 98 Radclyffe 97, Douglas 95. Hammann and Luyt 94, Lange 92, Granger 91, Sadier 90, Barrie 89, and Plank 83. After the match the teams were entertained to tea at the School House by Mrs. Clegg. This marks the third of the Shooting matches, each side having won one, and one draWIl. A further Committee meeting was held at Mr. de Kock's路 rooms on November 2nd In the absence of the President, Mr. Scott took the chair. The preliminary details of the Annual Dinner were discussed, and a sub committee appointed to make the final arrangements.' Mr. Felbert agreed to ask Mr. de Cola to entertain after the dinner, and to ask Mr. Bosman to attend as the guest of honour It was decided to open a fund to present him with a suitable token of the Old Boys' esteelll. The Dinner was held on the ~Oth Novel1lber, and proved a delightful evening. At the close the presentation was made to Mr Bosman and after speeches by Mr Clegg. Mr. Pienaar and Mr. Bosman, we were,entertained by Mr. Felix de Cola at the piano. It was a .very successful evening. The cricket match against the School was played on 15th March.'and resulted in a win for the Union by 23 runs. The best performancc in batting was by J. Pickup, who scored 85 llot out. Johnso.n took 3 for 18, and Burt 3 for 28. Full details will appear in the School Magazine, which you will be receiving shortly. The Union was represented by Dyamond, Askew, Burt, PickllP, Johnson (Capt.\, Friedlallder, Vncey, Ringham, Waylett, Judelson and Smith. On the same day we met the Staff at Tennis. Templeton.

Treasurer's Report. J une, 193~. Mr. Chairl1lan and Gentlemen, Owing to the fact that I only recently took over frbm Ollr ('apabie Treasurer, Mr. Felhert, I am unable to give you such a comprehensive report as he would haye done, as I am not so well acquainted with the financial siele of the Union as he is. I crave your indulgence on tbat account. At the time of tbe last General Meeting we had a barance in band of £12/11/4. I now propose to tell you how that amount, and the additional £69/4/6 which passed through the Treasurer's' hand during the year, wa~ accounted for. Of this total, £17flGjO represents ordinary subscriptions, and £9/9/0 life subscriptions. This is very mucb less than last year, for the membership has dropped by over 30. We received £7/15/0 from the sale of tickets for the Annual Dinner, £19/4/6 represents the takings at the Dance. and the balance of £15/010 was subscribed for a presentation to Mr. Bo~man. Om expenses for the yea! may be categorized in very much the same way as last year. Printing, Postage and Stationary 26

expenses amount to £6/15/0, which is less than befote. This represents amounts spent on circulars and postcards sent to members during the Year, the postage on one issue of the Magazine, the postage on the other being combined with the cost by the former Treasurer, and also stationary and wrappers for Maga zin e <; • Includ~d in this amount is also the printing of tickets for the !)intler and Dance. The School Magazine was sent to members June last year, ano cost the Union £14/8/9.

aud

Bank charges and petty expenses amount to 7/6 each, Petty Expenses being tips at our functions. \Ve owe thanks to Barclay's l3ank for taking care of our account and charging us 110 ledger fee. The Union continued the cmtom of donating a Dook prize to the Deb<;tting Society, and 12/6 was disbursed 011 this. On November 11th, 1932, a wreath was laid on tlIe Memorial Gate by the Secretary on behalf of the Umon, as in previous years. nnd the Treasurer, in attending the funeral of the late Mr. E. P. Mc Call Olt hehalf of the Union laid another wreath. The Union also donated the sum of £3/3/0 to the E. P. Mc Call fund. As the Dance and the Dinner were not so well attended as t'he previous year, a loss was incurred Otl both, the expenses being £'221516 amI £9/10/0 respectively. The loss on the Dance was probably largely tiue to the fact that we had to hire a Band this year, while last year the Band was inclusive in tbe tender by the Hotel in question. In spite of this additional expense we felt that ,"vewere unahle to charge more than 7(5 for a double ticket. 'J lie loss OIl tbe Dinner was due to the poor attendatlCe, anel we were forced to pay on om guarantee, and also Mr. de Cola's fee for entertaining us. A smoker was held in 1932 after the Rugby cost the Union £4/4/0 for the entertainers.

There is now a balance of £3/12/l in the Books of the Union, of which £2/19/11 is in the Bank, and 10/- in cash. The Union decided to discontinue the me of tbe Post Box at Wynberg, as the Secretary bas one at his disposal. Also, as the funds are so low, the Teams were asked to pay for the hi re of the Plumstead ground for the Cricket i\1atch. Finally, I should like to remind without funds, and unless subs continue to hold as many functions lose on the Dinner and the Dance, this risk a'S we charge members 27
